hvd.32044037103587	An obvious question must here occur to the mind of every non- military reader—“Why should this position be attacked at all?
hvd.32044037103587	And now what had come of it all?
hvd.32044037103587	And then suddenly — could that be they?
hvd.32044037103587	BATTLE OF COLENSO Io?
hvd.32044037103587	BULLER'S FINAL ADVANCE 165 “ Whom are you going to? ” “ General Hart, ” said the aide- de- camp.
hvd.32044037103587	Besides, why should he abandon it?
hvd.32044037103587	But how could help come when there was no means by which they could let White know the plight in which they found themselves?
hvd.32044037103587	But if he should lose his battle — what then?
hvd.32044037103587	Can you last so long?
hvd.32044037103587	Could they gather volume enough to carry themselves over?
hvd.32044037103587	Had Great Britain bought those vast regions which extended beyond the settlements?
hvd.32044037103587	Had they any wrongs to tell?
hvd.32044037103587	Have they got the hill? ” was his one eternal question as they carried him dripping to the rear.
hvd.32044037103587	Have your losses been very heavy?
hvd.32044037103587	How came they there?
hvd.32044037103587	How could they expect it after the raid 2 Would Britain object to the enormous importation of arms and obvious preparations for war?
hvd.32044037103587	How shall we sum up such an action save that it was a gallant at- tempt, gallantly carried out, and as gallantly met?
hvd.32044037103587	How was it to be extricated?
hvd.32044037103587	If they did not like the country why did they not leave it?
hvd.32044037103587	Is it likely that he would have tamely given up all his advantages and surrendered the fruits of his victory without a struggle?
hvd.32044037103587	Is the object of getting the people to take an interest in political matters not a good one?
hvd.32044037103587	It may be asked, why should these men be called freebooters if the founders of Rhodesia were pioneers?

hvd.32044037103587	They could not break away, for how can men on foot break away from horsemen?
hvd.32044037103587	Was it a meaningless pouring of wine, or were they ready to pour their hearts'blood also in time of war?
hvd.32044037103587	Was it fair to expect it?
hvd.32044037103587	Was it possible that it had been entirely abandoned?
hvd.32044037103587	Was it thereby abrogated or was it not?
hvd.32044037103587	Was not that enough to satisfy them?
hvd.32044037103587	We had our hill, but what else had we?
hvd.32044037103587	Were the Boers to lose by the ballot- box the victory which they had won by their rifles?
hvd.32044037103587	Were the Uitlanders to have the franchise?

hvd.32044037103587	What could an Opposition do if a vote of the Gov- ernment might at any moment unseat them all?
hvd.32044037103587	What could be done to give them some relief?
hvd.32044037103587	What could the Boers do then?
hvd.32044037103587	What is their right?
hvd.32044037103587	What is to be done?

hvd.32044037103587	Who shall blame the Highlanders for retiring when they did?
hvd.32044037103587	Why had no scouts gone forward to be certain of the position of the ford?
hvd.32044037103587	Why should they not endeavour to have one universal flag and one common speech?
hvd.32044037103587	Why should they not have their own views as to the future of South Africa?
hvd.32044037103587	Why should they not win over our colonists, if they can, and push us into the sea?
hvd.32044037103587	Why were the men in quarter column when advancing against an unseen foe?

hvd.32044037103587	“ How long, O Lord, how long? ” was the cry which was wrung from them in their solitude.
hvd.32044037103587	“ How many days can you hold out?
hvd.32044037103587	“ Myself: You do n't suppose, do you, that that flag is going to disap- pear from South Africa without a tremendous struggle and fight?
hvd.32044037103587	“ Now, boys, who's for otter hunting? ” cried Major Coleridge, of the North Lan- cashires, as he sprang into the water.
hvd.32044037103587	“ Reitz( with the same pleasant self- conscious, self- satisfied, and yet semi- apologetic smile): Well, I suppose not; but even so, what of that?
hvd.32044037103587	“ The burghers have had enough; what are they to do? ” said he.
hvd.32044037103587	“ When is the blood- shed going to begin? ” asked Powell.
hvd.32044037103587	“ Where are the bosses? ” cried a Fusilier, and the historian can only repeat the question.
hvd.32044037103587	“ Where is General Hart? ” asked some one in action.
hvd.32044037103587	“ Which is better for the Republics, ” he asked, “ to continue the struggle and run the risk of total ruin as a nation, or to submit?

njp.32101013577752	Ay, why not?
njp.32101013577752	But get past all that to a crisis in the real story, and who finds the terse phrase, the short fire- word, so surely as he?

hvd.32044086823036	Hugh Baddlesmere, and you, Dicon of Rye — into the boat with you! ” 196 SIR NIGEL “ What? ” cried Aylward.
hvd.32044086823036	I know not how I have lived to tell it. ” “ What is your devoir to me?
hvd.32044086823036	I thank the Virgin that it is not too late| What did he say?
hvd.32044086823036	I will save you from this man's cunning and from your own foolish weakness. ” “ What would you do? ” “ There is a priest without.
hvd.32044086823036	I will see you married ere I leave this hall. ” “ Or else? ” sneered the man.
hvd.32044086823036	If you are man and wife before the altar, then, indeed, why should I, or any other, stand between you?
hvd.32044086823036	In what form has the foul fiend appeared, and how has he done this grievous scathe to our brethren?
hvd.32044086823036	Is it a compliment, think you, to be mixed with a drove in that fashion?
hvd.32044086823036	Is it of this world or of the next? ” The bishop had clambered on his horse the better to consider the point.
hvd.32044086823036	Is there a squire in England who would not serve under the banner of Chandos I Whither do you go, fair sir?
hvd.32044086823036	Is there, then, no ship for me? ” The king smiled, but shook his head.
hvd.32044086823036	Is this not so? ” A murmur of eager assent rose from the table.
hvd.32044086823036	Is this young squire never to be unhorsed, or is your king himself to lay lance in rest ere the way can be cleared?
hvd.32044086823036	It was but to say what stores were to be sent after you to Calais? ” “ Is that not everything? ” cried Chandos, impatiently.
hvd.32044086823036	It was but to say what stores were to be sent after you to Calais? ” “ Is that not everything? ” cried Chandos, impatiently.
hvd.32044086823036	Keep your heart highl Is it not the chance of war, to- day to them, to- morrow to thee, and death at last for us all?
hvd.32044086823036	Nay, Nigel, whither do you go?
hvd.32044086823036	Shall I not show you? ” In an instant he had spurred the charger and was speeding across the plain.
hvd.32044086823036	Speak then, Paul of Shalford Will you we d this woman now, or will you not? ” Edith was on her feet with outstretched arms between them.
hvd.32044086823036	Surely the matter does not end here? ” “ Two down out of five, ” said Badding, “ and twelve at the least against us.
hvd.32044086823036	THE TWISTED MAN OF SHALFORD 145 “ But it is not your road, father? ” “ The only road of a true priest is that which leads to the good of others.
hvd.32044086823036	The ban which blasts a man's soul is in the keeping of his Church, and what have we to place against it?
hvd.32044086823036	The wise and the good, the noble and the brave, they come from the darkness, and into the darkness they go, whence, whither, and why, who may say?
hvd.32044086823036	There is no reason, if things be as we fear, that he should not marry your daughter? ” “ Nay, she could not wish for better. ” “ It is well.
hvd.32044086823036	There was the rasping of a bolt and then a loud voice: “ Is that you, priest? ” “ Yes, it is I, ” said the prisoner, in a quavering voice.
hvd.32044086823036	They are our own hobbellers, are they not?
hvd.32044086823036	Was ever so dreadful, so sudden, so complete, an end to a gentle passage at arms?
hvd.32044086823036	We make a merry group, do we not?
hvd.32044086823036	What call you them, then, Edith? ” “ Nay, I know not, ” said the girl, listlessly.
hvd.32044086823036	What chance did he give me when he had the power?
hvd.32044086823036	What do you ask? ” “ I ask only one thing, and I have come hither that I may get it.
hvd.32044086823036	What does it mean?
hvd.32044086823036	What in the Devil's name have you seen 2 ” “ Know you a little man, partly misshapen, named Paul de la Fosse? ” “ I know him well.
hvd.32044086823036	What in the name of the Virgin is that? ” Four brilliant stars of flashing light had shone out from different points of the cloud- bank.
hvd.32044086823036	What more would you have, old war- dog?
hvd.32044086823036	What new venture does he see that he should tarry here? ” Nigel walked to the table.
hvd.32044086823036	What say you to that, young sir? ” Nigel dipped his finger in his glass, and, leaning over, he placed its wet impress on the Breton's hand.
hvd.32044086823036	What then would you do? ” Nigel pointed to the boat which towed astern.
hvd.32044086823036	What use are you to me, Raoul, since I have gained no honour in the taking of you?
hvd.32044086823036	What would I not give to have it back 2 ” “ Will you give me my life? ” asked the outlaw.
hvd.32044086823036	What, then, my friend?
hvd.32044086823036	Where is your citole, Nigel?
hvd.32044086823036	Where, then, was he to look for help?
hvd.32044086823036	Whither go you, archer? ” “ To tell the good Sir John that you are mending. ” “ Nay, bide with me a little longer, Aylward.
hvd.32044086823036	Why did you not tell me? ” “ I should think it shame to talk of such a thing. ” “ So would your father before you, and his father no less.
hvd.32044086823036	Will you indeed take no less than a hundred and fifty?
hvd.32044086823036	Will you not ride with me to the wars? ” The tears brimmed over from Nigel's eyes, and he wrung the gaunt hand extended from the bath.
hvd.32044086823036	Will you not stoop to show me some small deed of arms?
hvd.32044086823036	With what have I fought, father bishop?
hvd.32044086823036	Wot you how I took it, archer?
hvd.32044086823036	Wot you how I took it, archer?
hvd.32044086823036	Wot you why it is that the king has sent for me? ” Nigel read terror in the dark cunning eyes which glanced in sidelong fashion into his.
hvd.32044086823036	Would Nigel spring off?
hvd.32044086823036	Would he ever get to the end of it?
hvd.32044086823036	Yonder betwixt the ash- tree and the rock what do you see on the side of the far hill? ” “ There is a white dot upon it.
hvd.32044086823036	You would not do him a hurt| Did you not say so this very THE TWISTED MAN OF SHALFORD 153 day?
hvd.32044086823036	You would not murder me? ” said he, leaning back with haggard face and burning eyes against his chair.
hvd.32044086823036	how will you behave when you have indeed to face the King of Terrors himself if you can be so frightened by the sight of a yellow horse?
hvd.32044086823036	the Red Ferret? ” said he.
hvd.32044086823036	there are three years to run, and what may not happen in three years?
hvd.32044086823036	what is this?
hvd.32044086823036	where is your bracer- guard?
hvd.32044086823036	who are you? ” It was Aylward, who had followed Nigel, and was pushing his way aboard.
hvd.32044086823036	“ A magpie?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Am I to be left behind I, who am the squire's own man?
hvd.32044086823036	“ And is it so? ” she cried.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Bethink you, Paul Why should you not do what he asks What matter to you whether it be now or on Monday?
hvd.32044086823036	“ By Saint Paul I"he cried, “ who is this man on whom you are perched, and where is the lady who has honoured us so far as to crave our help?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Can you not hear that? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Can you not see that we are warping the Rose of Guienne into midstream for the ebb- tide Is this a time to break in upon us?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Did you hear them, Simon?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Hark, my lord? ” said he to Sir Robert.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Heard you ever such villainy? ” cried Aylward, breathing fierce and hard.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Her honour, say you — the honour of my daughter?
hvd.32044086823036	“ How long is it, my Lord Chandos, ” said he, hotly, “ since you have taken it upon yourself to wear my arms? ” Chandos smiled.
hvd.32044086823036	“ How now, gentles, will you never wait your turn? ” he rumbled, in a deep angry voice.
hvd.32044086823036	“ How say you, sire?
hvd.32044086823036	“ I would have died ere I lost them 1 What can I say to her?
hvd.32044086823036	“ In spite of my will? ” “ In spite of your will, sire, ” said Nigel, sitting up on his couch, with white face and blazing eyes.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Is this fair dame your betrothed? ” “ She is my love, ” answered the Frenchman.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Is this the sport that you have promised us, Sir John?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Is this the way to enter the Abbot's own chamber without knock or reverence, or so much as a ‘ Paa, vobiscum'? ” said he, sternly.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Mistress Edith? ” said he.
hvd.32044086823036	“ My friend, ” said Simon, “ will you come ashore to- night — for I have need of your help? ”, Aylward crowed lustily.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Nay, John, have I not given you two hundred archers and a hundred men- at- arms to take with you into Brittany?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Nay, Sir John, what would you?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Nay, but you must not lose heart. ” “ Have I not already lost it? ” said he.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Say rather will you take me? ” said Chandos.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Shall we let them slip from our fingers when we have them here and are fourfold their number?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Simon, the Englishman What make you here? ” Simon put his hand upon his shoulder.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Surely they are the Spaniards? ” said the king.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Surely you would not leave me? ”- But the other's helmet was closed and he could hear nothing.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Tell me of the Welsh, honoured sir? ” asked the squire.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Tell me, Squire Nigel, did you indeed put pike in the pond? ” The young man drew himself proudly up.
hvd.32044086823036	“ They have some of your birds in their cage, have they not?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Well, Brother Samuel, what is your will? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086823036	“ What do you hope to do, then Would you carry the castle with your own hands?
hvd.32044086823036	“ What has befallen to stop us?
hvd.32044086823036	“ What have you prayed for, Nigel? ” said she.
hvd.32044086823036	“ What is that? ” “ As like as not some poor devil has fallen into their clutches, even as I did.
hvd.32044086823036	“ What would you do if I were injured, Nigel?
hvd.32044086823036	“ What would you do? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086823036	“ What, ” said he, “ the knight errant still lingers?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Where is the saddle- bag? ” It had been cut away by a sharp knife.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Whither away this evening Sure I am that it is not to see your friends of Cosford, for when did you ever don so brave a doublet for us?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Who are you, and whence come you at this hour of the night?
hvd.32044086823036	“ Who are you? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Who hath fought against these Spaniards? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Who is warden here? ” asked Chandos, springing from his horse.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Who shall say there is no God? ” she cried.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Whose is the shield behind him — silver with scarlet drops? ” asked Knolles.
hvd.32044086823036	“ Would you take life from a creature whose only fault is that its spirit is so high that it has met none yet who dare control it?
hvd.32044086823036	“ You are young Loring of Tilford, the squire of Chandos, are you not? ” said he.

uiug.30112042261195	Where in the world can he have gone to with his head bare?
uiug.30112042261195	Where in the world did you come from? ” “ Glad to see you, Jackson, ” said my com- panion.
uiug.30112042261195	Where will the quarters be? ” “ I thought it would be handy for you if we fixed it at the George, at Crawley.
uiug.30112042261195	Where's Mellish?
uiug.30112042261195	Where's Townshend?
uiug.30112042261195	Where's the landlord?
uiug.30112042261195	Where's the man that we have backed? ” Flushed faces began to crane over each other, and angry eyes glared up at us.
uiug.30112042261195	Which were the ships that laid her aboard? ” Again I had to confess that he had beaten me.
uiug.30112042261195	Whither, then, could he have vanished to?
uiug.30112042261195	Who knows what these rascals may be doing in my absence?
uiug.30112042261195	Who was there in all the Down country who had not heard of the Walker of Cliffe Royal?
uiug.30112042261195	Who'd ha ’ thought of 98 ON THE THRESHOLD seein ’ you at Friar's Oak?
uiug.30112042261195	Who's the youngster beside him?
uiug.30112042261195	Who, then, could have hired them?
uiug.30112042261195	Whoa, my dar- lings, you'll have your fill of it before you reach Westminster Bridge. ” “ Shall I put in the toilet- case? ” asked the landlord.
uiug.30112042261195	Why did n't you put him out? ” A smile passed over the servant's face.
uiug.30112042261195	Why should I wait?
uiug.30112042261195	Why should he have brandy, when many a Christian has to go without? ” “ Hush, Anson! ” said my mother, taking the 76 BUCK TREGELLIS cushion.
uiug.30112042261195	Why, Roddy, what's amiss now? ” My fears were all back upon me, and every nerve creeping with horror.
uiug.30112042261195	Why?
uiug.30112042261195	Would the Government try it again?
uiug.30112042261195	Would you care to make one of us? ” Boy Jim's dark eyes sparkled with pleasure.
uiug.30112042261195	You are from the country, Mr. Stone? ” “ From Sussex, sir. ” “ Sussex'Why, that is where I send my washing to.
uiug.30112042261195	You are over five- and- thirty, Harrison? ” “ Forty- one next month, master. ” “ Very good.
uiug.30112042261195	You came here and you saw your father — here at Cliffe Royal? ” “ Yes, sir. ” 858 CLIFFE ROYAL My uncle had turned very pale.
uiug.30112042261195	You chose the best man, and how could you do other- wise?
uiug.30112042261195	You have heard how he returned the money which we had lost? ” “ Nay, I have heard nothing of it, ” my father answered.
uiug.30112042261195	You have not yet began to practice it? ” I confessed that I had not.
uiug.30112042261195	You hear of the few who succeed, but 249 RODNEY STONE what do you know of the hundreds who never find their way?
uiug.30112042261195	You heard of my bout with the Chevalier d'Eon?
uiug.30112042261195	You heard to- night of the dreadful things which come from it. ” “ I promise you, mother. ” “ And you will be careful of wine, Roddy?
uiug.30112042261195	You know Joe Berks's record? ” “ He ’s since my time. ” “ Well,'e's a terror, that's all.
uiug.30112042261195	You remem- ber Berks?
uiug.30112042261195	You want to be paid for what you know? ” The prize- fighter smiled an affirmative.
uiug.30112042261195	You would n't think the mares had come fifty miles, would you?
uiug.30112042261195	Your mother is well, and I saw her in church on Sunday. ” “ And Boy Jim? ” Champion Harrison's good- humoured face clouded over.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Ah, Mellish, is the Prince within? ” “ In the private saloon, Sir Charles, ” said the gentleman addressed.
uiug.30112042261195	“ And what said Lord Avon? ” cried my father.
uiug.30112042261195	“ And what would you have had if you had struck him dead? ’ said I.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Any one with him? ” “ Sheridan and Francis.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Are you Tom Owen the bruiser? ” says one o'them.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Ay, and what does he want? ” asked he, in no very amiable voice.
uiug.30112042261195	“ But how on earth could something have occurred to make him leave me at a time when we were going full- trot down hill in my curricle?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Can I not take his place? ” “ You would not have it said that I gave a challenge and let another carry it out? ” whis- pered Jim.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Can I not take his place? ” “ You would not have it said that I gave a challenge and let another carry it out? ” whis- pered Jim.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Can you stand, Roddy? ” “ Yes, but I'm shaking. ” “ So am I, ” said he, passing his hand over his forehead.
uiug.30112042261195	“ D'you start to- morrow? ” 113 RODNEY STONE “ Yes, Jack. ” “ Well, I'll make you an offer.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Dice 2 ” “ No, whist. ” “ You could n't get very hard hit over that. ” “ Could n't you? ” he snarled.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Do you mind doubling our bet? ” said Berkeley Craven, who was craning his neck to get a glimpse of Jim.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Have you learned geography? ” 61 RODNEY STONE “ Yes, father, ” said I, though with less confi- dence than before.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Here's one of the windows open. ” “ Do n’t you think we've gone far enough, Jim? ” said I, with my teeth chattering.
uiug.30112042261195	“ How are you, Berks? ” “ Pretty tidy.
uiug.30112042261195	“ How like you that, then? ” she cried.
uiug.30112042261195	“ I already owe Weston something over a thousand, so how can a few odd hundreds affect it?
uiug.30112042261195	“ I wonder whence that stair leads? ” said Jim.
uiug.30112042261195	“ If Ushant lay three leagues upon your star- board quarter, what would be your nearest Eng- lish port? ” Again I had to give it up.
uiug.30112042261195	“ If he does n't brake, why should I?
uiug.30112042261195	“ In the old ships, maybe, but how many of the new are laid down on the French model?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Is he well- favoured? ” “ He is a fine figure of a man.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Is it fair to break a dozen 160 WATIER'S hearts in order to intoxicate one with rapture?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Is that he? ” I heard her ask.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Is this genuine? ” asked my uncle.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Is your mother living? ” “ Yes, sir, ” said I.
uiug.30112042261195	“ It was a spirit, Rodney. ” “ How do you know? ” “ Because I followed it and saw it vanish into a wall, as easily as an eel into sand.
uiug.30112042261195	“ It was little Letty, was it? ” said he.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Listen to that l ” “ What is it? ” we cried, all three.
uiug.30112042261195	“ On whose suit is it? ” “ Several suits, sir.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Pitt has been at you, sir, I understand? ” “ Yes, confound him!
uiug.30112042261195	“ Roddy, ” said he at last, “ will you come with me to- night and look for the ghost? ” It turned me cold, the very thought of it.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Roddy, ” said he, “ have you heard that Cliffe Royal is haunted? ” Had I heard it?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Roddy, ” said he, “ have you heard that Cliffe Royal is haunted? ” Had I heard it?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Then how many sail of the line were at the Battle of Camperdown? ” He shook his head gravely when he found that I could not answer him.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Then you're my man from this hour on, dye see? ” said Belcher.
uiug.30112042261195	“ They are getting a match on for him, ai n't they? ” “ Yes.
uiug.30112042261195	“ To- morrow, then? ” she cried loud out.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Twenty- four, as they are both big ones, sir. ” “ Very good, and half- minutes between rounds, I suppose?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Two minutes, Tregellis! ” “ Where's your man, Sir Charles?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Was it at the inn you stayed? ” he asked.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Well, I'm blessed if it is n't Boy Jim And what's this?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Well, how far is it from Port Mahon to Algeciras? ” I could only shake my head.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Well, what is it? ” cried my uncle, impa- tiently.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What did you say, young man?
uiug.30112042261195	“ What do you think of your chances, Har- rison? ” I heard my uncle ask, as the two mares picked their way over the broken ground.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What in the world brings you here, Harri- son? ” he whispered.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What is there for me to do, Rodney? ” he cried.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What should he be doing at that house of ill- omen?
uiug.30112042261195	“ What space do you give them? ” asked my uncle.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What the deuce is the meaning of this, sir? ” cried my uncle.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What the deuce is this? ” he shouted, angrily.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What the devil is that to you? ” cried Belcher, furiously.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What think you now? ” shouted all the neighbours of the west- countryman, repeating his own refrain.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What's the betting, boys? ” asked Belcher, from the steps.
uiug.30112042261195	“ What, am I to be dunned in my own private room?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Where got you all these fine feathers, Jim?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Where is he? ” he asked.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Where is my man? ” A look of astonishment passed over Sir Lo- thian's features, which, if it were not real, was most admirably affected.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Where is your man, Belcher? ” “ He has gone to his room, sir.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Where is'e, gov'nor?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Where on earth have they got to? ” cried my uncle.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Where shall it be? ” “'Pon my soul, Tregellis, ” cried the Prince, “ I think our unknown friend might have a word to say upon that matter.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Where's it going to be held? ” “ Where you like, masters.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Where's the four to one now? ” “ Give us time to get the lid off our pepper- box, ” said Mendoza.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Who ordered that? ” I asked.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Who takes him on? ” They all wanted to, from nine- stone Dutch Sam upwards.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Whom think you that it is from, Anson? ” she asked.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Why, where are your eyes? ” she cried at last.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Will you permit me to lay the table?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Yes, Sir Charles, what d'you think of them?
uiug.30112042261195	“ Yes, Sir Charles. ” “ Has he passed? ” 273 RODNEY STONE “ Yes, Sir Charles.
uiug.30112042261195	“ Yes, sir, a little. ” “ A baritone, I should fancy? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ And your mother tells me that you play the fiddle.
uiug.30112042261195	“ You know Berks, the bruiser? ” asked my uncle.
uiug.30112042261195	“ You show me in this instant, young man, d'ye ’ ear?
hvd.32044086822970	Fool! ” said another, “ is it not such talk which has brought us to our ruin? hvd.32044086822970 How was he received? ” “ Coldly enough.
hvd.32044086822970	I beg pardon, sir, ” said he, “ but surely I have the honour of talking to Mr. Thomas Spring?
hvd.32044086822970	Maximinus! ” he yelled, “ Imperator Max- iminus Augustus! ” Who could tell how it come about? hvd.32044086822970 Tell me, brother Paul, ” said he,"you who have lived here so long — what lies at the further side of that plain? ” The old man shook his head.
hvd.32044086822970	Trained are you? ” he muttered. hvd.32044086822970 'And how 148 THE LAST GALLEY long will it be before your victorious troops have reached the Bosphorus?
hvd.32044086822970	- a hundred times I have said it. ” “ And had they no answer? ” asked the Rover.
hvd.32044086822970	58 THE LAST GALLEY as ne “ Why do you follow me? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086822970	Above all, what advantage could he draw from it?
hvd.32044086822970	And Giant Maximin — what of him?
hvd.32044086822970	And Marie, did she wish to marry me?
hvd.32044086822970	And a game one, too, I hope? ” Young Spring shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.32044086822970	And how are you, Miss Dolly?
hvd.32044086822970	And if the door be locked, then what way is there but the window?
hvd.32044086822970	And was it not worth the danger?
hvd.32044086822970	And who is the woman, and what is the dreadful emotion which I read in 156 THE LAST GALLEY those wonderful brown eyes?
hvd.32044086822970	And why was she not with the others? ”"I will tell you why she was not with the others.
hvd.32044086822970	And you, Leon ”- she bent her wonderful eyes with a strange mixture of sternness and of love upon the boy, “ can I trust you?
hvd.32044086822970	Are you of Jewish faith, stranger?'
hvd.32044086822970	Are you satisfied with the terms? ” “ Very handsome, ma'am, I'm sure."
hvd.32044086822970	But stop work?
hvd.32044086822970	But was it good, was it kind, was it true?
hvd.32044086822970	But who would believe that?
hvd.32044086822970	But why this particular shape?
hvd.32044086822970	But, by your leave, does he have anything if he loses? ”.
hvd.32044086822970	By the way, Mr. Spring, I suppose it is not business that has brought you down into these parts?
hvd.32044086822970	Can I give him a knee?"
hvd.32044086822970	Can you say it after me? ”.
hvd.32044086822970	Come to think of it, how many 11 214 THE LAST GALLEY men on the list could stand up to you for half an hour?
hvd.32044086822970	Could she trust you?
hvd.32044086822970	Did I wish to marry Marie?
hvd.32044086822970	Did father ever do that for you before you married?"
hvd.32044086822970	Did father ever do that for you before you married?"
hvd.32044086822970	Do you dare to stand there on my land and talk back to me? ” He advanced with a menacing face and his dog whip half raised.
hvd.32044086822970	Do you not dis- cover there every virtue which man could have, although he knew nothing of your creed?
hvd.32044086822970	Do you remember the words, my lord?
hvd.32044086822970	Do you remember the words? ” He stood stunned for a moment.
hvd.32044086822970	Every detail is exact. ”"But why to me?"
hvd.32044086822970	For a weakness which was unworthy of an empress, for a foolish new- born spasm of love, for that which had no existence within her in the morning?
hvd.32044086822970	Had all the bulls of Castile guarded the entrance, would it not still have been worth it?
hvd.32044086822970	Have you anything else to say?
hvd.32044086822970	Have you by chance read the book which was written by our Emperor Marcus Aurelius?
hvd.32044086822970	Have you ever seen a bull charge, my friends?
hvd.32044086822970	Have you never known the feeling of fear?"
hvd.32044086822970	He would take them both?
hvd.32044086822970	He'll be here soon. ” “ But where are they taking him? ” “ To the loft where he sleeps. ” “ I'm sure he's welcome to my room, father."
hvd.32044086822970	Here was a great fact; but what use could he make of it?
hvd.32044086822970	How can you who hide behind mercenaries hope to stand against them?
hvd.32044086822970	How could she be so foolish as to risk losing such a substance for such a shadow?
hvd.32044086822970	How had he failed them?
hvd.32044086822970	How have I harmed them that they should forget their vows and rise upon me? ” “ They are like children who ask always for something new.
hvd.32044086822970	How long were the Romans here, Mr. Cunningham? ” “ A fair time, ma'am.
hvd.32044086822970	How long would it take you to get back to your best?"
hvd.32044086822970	How shall I describe it?
hvd.32044086822970	I wo n't do it. ” “ Cowardly?
hvd.32044086822970	I wonder whether I shall ever pene- trate what they all mean?
hvd.32044086822970	I've done with you now. ” 236 THE LAST GALLEY “ But where am I to go?"
hvd.32044086822970	If I have occasion to find fault I shall choose another man. ” “ And you wo n't tell me who I am to fight? ” “ Not a word.
hvd.32044086822970	If for a minute I forgot my dignity, who would be the wiser?
hvd.32044086822970	If it is your will that the emperor should know nothing, then who is to tell him?"
hvd.32044086822970	In a month, two months, three at the most, their armies would be there, and what could all the untrained multitudes of Carthage do to stop them?
hvd.32044086822970	Is it not much more likely that the recent tragedy of the sheep has caused him to take some steps which may have ended in his own destruc- tion?
hvd.32044086822970	Is it not the cursed bridge they use for boarding? ” “ So they grudge us even one, ” said Magro with a bitter laugh.
hvd.32044086822970	Is she to bide aboard and poison us all? ” “ Send her off with her mate! ” cried another, and the rovers roared their approval.
hvd.32044086822970	Is there a chance for me, I say?"
hvd.32044086822970	Is there a chance for me?
hvd.32044086822970	Is this cat- calling to earn an Olympian prize?
hvd.32044086822970	Is this what you call music?
hvd.32044086822970	It did not seem too strange to them that I should fly in through the window, for who should be a hot- headed suitor if it is not a gallant hussar?
hvd.32044086822970	Let me see, what was I talking about?
hvd.32044086822970	Let me see, what was I talking about?
hvd.32044086822970	My figures must be out by a cer- tain date; unless they are so, I shall lose the chance of my lifetime, so how on earth am I to rest?
hvd.32044086822970	Now Mr. Spring, will you kindly follow me?
hvd.32044086822970	Or should I harden my heart and turn away from Marie?
hvd.32044086822970	Or was it not possible that all might be reconciled; that I might be a happy hus- band in Normandy but a brave soldier elsewhere?
hvd.32044086822970	Saw you ever a more slap- up carriage?
hvd.32044086822970	Shall I stop?
hvd.32044086822970	Stephanos, Vacculus — is anything amiss?
hvd.32044086822970	Still, some one must suffer, else how could we be purified?

hvd.32044086822970	Was I not beat down Broadwater way by George Nicholls in 1805?
hvd.32044086822970	Was it his fault that he came here?
hvd.32044086822970	Was it not so with the guard at Waterloo?
hvd.32044086822970	Was it not, perhaps, for that very end that God had guided him to the wilderness?
hvd.32044086822970	Was she to risk the losing of it all — for what?
hvd.32044086822970	We are few and weak, but if it is His will, who can stand against us?

hvd.32044086822970	What did you get out of that? ” The young man smiled rather grimly, as he turned up his cuff and looked at a puckered hole in his wrist.

hvd.32044086822970	Why did you not wait until you had her command? ” “ At a distance, Leon, it would be easy to refuse THE LAST GALLEY 117 you.
hvd.32044086822970	Why do the long, red oars move out of time, irregular, convulsive?

hvd.32044086822970	did you not know?
hvd.32044086822970	“ All right? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086822970	“ And I am not to come? ” “ No,"said the lady.
hvd.32044086822970	“ And how far from London? ” “ Within a hundred miles.
hvd.32044086822970	“ And the inscription?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ And which was it? ” “ Ah, if I knew!
hvd.32044086822970	“ And why? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Are not our laws just? ” asked the Governor.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Are you Datus the scavenger? ” asked the patrician.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Are you sure, Father Luke, that my mother will indeed be glad to see me? ” The abbot turned away his face to avoid those questioning eyes.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Are you wiser than your emperor?
hvd.32044086822970	“ But since we have fallen, and Rome will fall, who in turn may hope to be Queen of the Waters? ”.
hvd.32044086822970	“ But surely, ma'am, ” he pleaded, “ I may come as far as Tunbridge Wells?

hvd.32044086822970	“ But you do n't surely ask Tom Spring to train for three weeks to meet a Corinthian? ”"I will say nothing more of who it is.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Can I do anything, father? ” “ No, lass, no.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Can I do anything, father? ” “ No, lass, no.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Can you not be content with worshipping Woden, over which we are all agreed, and not make so much of those small points upon which we may differ?

hvd.32044086822970	“ Did the gentleman seem ill? ” I asked.

hvd.32044086822970	“ Ha, my lady, that stings your pride, does it?
hvd.32044086822970	“ Has your heart never failed you?
hvd.32044086822970	“ Have I lived here so long to have it polluted by a vile Trinitarian – a follower of the rascal Athana- sius?

hvd.32044086822970	“ Have you?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ He ca n't get better?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ He died yesterday night, about ten o'clock, in hospital at Madeira, did he not? ” The seaman stared aghast.
hvd.32044086822970	“ He's not got one. ” “ No name?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ How about this? ” She pulled a little crumpled sprig of dogrose, such as grows wild in the way- side hedges, out of her bosom.
hvd.32044086822970	“ How do you feel? ” “ Pretty tidy, ma'am, I thank you. ” “ I will get up beside you, Johnson.
hvd.32044086822970	“ How do you know he is so good? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086822970	“ How many had he with him? ” asked Labienus, a black- browed veteran from the south of Gaul.
hvd.32044086822970	“ How say you, Crassus?
hvd.32044086822970	“ I consider that I have the best right to it. ” “ And my name does not appear? ” “ No, but —".
hvd.32044086822970	“ I say, mother, what is Bill's other name? ” asked the girl, with languid curiosity.
hvd.32044086822970	“ I will defend myself if you attack me. ” “ You threaten me? ” cried Pericord, whose face was livid with anger.
hvd.32044086822970	“ I wonder what the governess will think? ” said she.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Is this the man? ” said she.
hvd.32044086822970	“ It's incredible, ” said he, “ and yet how else can one explain it?
hvd.32044086822970	“ Must it be — death?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ No, but on my window ledge. ” “ Oh, but when? ” “ This morning.
hvd.32044086822970	“ No, but on my window ledge. ” “ Oh, but when?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ No?

hvd.32044086822970	“ Oh, my gracious mistress, dear lady, what is this?
hvd.32044086822970	“ Oh, what have I done?
hvd.32044086822970	“ Ruffianing or fighting?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ Surely there ca n't be any harm in my havin'a pipe?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ Then perhaps you know something of these? ” She took out the humble little sprig, and held it out to him with an arch questioning glance.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Then you have n't done anything yet? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.32044086822970	“ There be no mates aboard a pirate craft, and so the boatswain, the gunner, and the quartermaster are the officers. ” “ Did I gainsay it?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ To the doctor's? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Was any name in the mouths of the soldiers?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ Well, are you going? ” he cried, as he swung it into the air.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Well, friend, what think you now? ” he cried.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Well, what would you have? ” asked Sharkey.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Well? ” asked the governor.
hvd.32044086822970	“ What are you clapping at?
hvd.32044086822970	“ What be I to do? ” he asked humbly, slouching forward.
hvd.32044086822970	“ What be I to do? ” he asked humbly, slouching forward.
hvd.32044086822970	“ What do you mean, Arsenius?
hvd.32044086822970	“ What has he done?
hvd.32044086822970	“ What in the name of Pluto is the matter with you all? ” cried the amazed senator, whose night of potations had left him in no mood for patience.
hvd.32044086822970	“ What is it, Maggie?
hvd.32044086822970	“ What is it, then? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086822970	“ What is your news? ” But the hermit could only point at the rising sun.
hvd.32044086822970	“ What of me?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ What of the wench?
hvd.32044086822970	“ What say you, Baldy Stable?

hvd.32044086822970	“ Where is the fellow? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Where to? ” “ To the work’us hospital.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Where's Mr.-?
hvd.32044086822970	“ Who did you wish me to fight? ” asked the young pugilist.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Who is he? ” stammered the emperor, clutching at his guardsman's sleeve.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Who's that with him?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ Whom do you please by living in such a fashion? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Whom think you that I see in audience this morning? ”.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Why did you do this? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Why do you call me that? ”"I beg pardon.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Why do you stand moping there?
hvd.32044086822970	“ Why kill them, great lady, if it pains your gracious heart? ” said he.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Why of all the human race to me? ” “ Because you were in the fit mental state to receive the impression.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Will that help you to fight? ”"I came here to fight,"said Tom Spring, licking his dry lips.
hvd.32044086822970	“ Will you give it up?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ Would you dare to cross my hawse?
hvd.32044086822970	“ Yes. ” “ Can I be of use? ” “ No; I am going to the doctor's."
hvd.32044086822970	“ You are going out? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086822970	“ You are sure of this? ”.
hvd.32044086822970	“ You do n't identify this with any well- known scene in history? ” he asked, with suspicion in his eyes.
hvd.32044086822970	“ You saw his vision?"
hvd.32044086822970	“ You saw the fight? ” “ Every round of it!
hvd.32044086822970	“ You've tried and failed. ” “ Yes, I must admit it. ” “ What else is there?

hvd.32044086822954	And he never mentioned any names?
hvd.32044086822954	And how do you consider that all this bears upon the general case?
hvd.32044086822954	And how do you propose to prove all this?
hvd.32044086822954	And how?
hvd.32044086822954	And it arrived very speedily?
hvd.32044086822954	And what is it we are watching for?
hvd.32044086822954	And where may that be?
hvd.32044086822954	And who bought the ironworks of Manson and of Shuman, and of Van Deher and of At- wood, which have all been given up of late?
hvd.32044086822954	And who bought the mines of Todman and of Lee that came into the market in the same way last year?
hvd.32044086822954	And who told you?
hvd.32044086822954	And why no arrest? hvd.32044086822954 And why the missing ring?"
hvd.32044086822954	And you accept the rule of the Bodymaster for the time being under all circumstances?
hvd.32044086822954	And you were told to see me?

hvd.32044086822954	Aye, what's the game?
hvd.32044086822954	Baldwin — he speaks like that, does he?
hvd.32044086822954	But if a man had a danger hanging over him, and knew what it was, do n't you think he would turn to the police for protection?

hvd.32044086822954	But what can he do?
hvd.32044086822954	But what do you allow that we should do about it?

hvd.32044086822954	But, I say, are n't we wasting precious time? hvd.32044086822954 By its light you saw that some terrible inci- dent had occurred?"

hvd.32044086822954	Can you remember, Ames, what Mr. Barker had on his feet last night when you joined him in the study?
hvd.32044086822954	Could this have any connec- tion with the crime?
hvd.32044086822954	D'ye think I'm ashamed of my own name?
hvd.32044086822954	D'you know what that means?
hvd.32044086822954	Dear me, Watson, is it possible that you have not penetrated the fact that the case hangs upon the missing dumb- bell? hvd.32044086822954 Did I ask you for your advice, or did you think me such a sucker that I could n't move without it?
hvd.32044086822954	Did n't I tell you he shot Jim Carnaway?
hvd.32044086822954	Did n't he ask you why you did n't bring him the papers?
hvd.32044086822954	Did you come to see him? hvd.32044086822954 Did you ever know him to cut himself in shav- ing before?"
hvd.32044086822954	Did you ever trouble to see who called for them?
hvd.32044086822954	Did you know Mrs. Douglas before her mar riage?
hvd.32044086822954	Did you not? hvd.32044086822954 Did you see no one?"
hvd.32044086822954	Do n't we?
hvd.32044086822954	Do you tell me that we have to sit down under this? hvd.32044086822954 Do you tell me,"said the Sergeant,"that the wedding ring was below the other?"
hvd.32044086822954	Does anyone else know of this?
hvd.32044086822954	Get what?
hvd.32044086822954	Hate you, Jack? hvd.32044086822954 Have you ever heard where his first wife came from?"
hvd.32044086822954	Have you ever read of Jonathan Wild?
hvd.32044086822954	Have you found anything out yet?
hvd.32044086822954	Have you heard him speak of anything which occurred in America and might bring some dan- ger upon him?
hvd.32044086822954	He was a bachelor, you say?
hvd.32044086822954	How deep is it?
hvd.32044086822954	How did you know it, then?
hvd.32044086822954	How did you know that?
hvd.32044086822954	How do I know that they are lying? hvd.32044086822954 How do you know this?"
hvd.32044086822954	How long have you allowed us to waste ourselves upon a search that you knew to be an absurd one?
hvd.32044086822954	How long is this to last?
hvd.32044086822954	How long were you with Douglas in Cali- fornia?
hvd.32044086822954	How's that, then?
hvd.32044086822954	How's the arm?
hvd.32044086822954	I do n't think we have met before, Councilor?
hvd.32044086822954	I'd like to know,said McMurdo,"how you ever came to learn that I had spoken with Mor- ris at all?"
hvd.32044086822954	In trou- ble?
hvd.32044086822954	Is he here? hvd.32044086822954 Is he on his own or is he entirely in with them?"
hvd.32044086822954	Is it by the police? hvd.32044086822954 Is it not?
hvd.32044086822954	Is it suicide, or is it murder — that's our first question, Gentlemen, is it not? hvd.32044086822954 Is n't the place full of police and detectives, and what harm did they ever do us?"
hvd.32044086822954	It's your first, is it not? hvd.32044086822954 May I smoke as I talk?
hvd.32044086822954	Maybe Miss Ettie has told you how it is with us?
hvd.32044086822954	Might I ask,said Holmes,"what the words were which attracted your attention?"
hvd.32044086822954	Mr. Treas- urer,he asked,"may I ask who has bought the property of this man that we have driven out of the district?"
hvd.32044086822954	My name's Jack Mc- Murdo — see? hvd.32044086822954 No tracks or marks?"
hvd.32044086822954	Not here?
hvd.32044086822954	Of the lodge?
hvd.32044086822954	Oh, it's Jack, is it?
hvd.32044086822954	Oh, it's like that, is it?
hvd.32044086822954	Oh, you think so, do you? hvd.32044086822954 Or Herman Strauss?"
hvd.32044086822954	So you are good enough to pass my appearance?
hvd.32044086822954	So,said he with a furious glance at Mc- Murdo,"you got here first, did you?
hvd.32044086822954	Someone else?
hvd.32044086822954	Still on the track of the elusive bicyclist?
hvd.32044086822954	Sun in your eyes and his face in the shadow?
hvd.32044086822954	Surely you asked him what he meant by the Valley of Fear?
hvd.32044086822954	That was six years ago?
hvd.32044086822954	The clothes are commonplace,remarked Holmes,"save only the overcoat, which is full of suggestive touches.'?
hvd.32044086822954	The police?
hvd.32044086822954	Then how did you get at Mr. Douglas and the fact that he had been horribly murdered?
hvd.32044086822954	Then how do you know about his rooms?
hvd.32044086822954	Then the truth is too bad to tell?
hvd.32044086822954	Then what do you suggest that we do?
hvd.32044086822954	Then why did you leave?
hvd.32044086822954	Then why has he not indicated the book?
hvd.32044086822954	There is nothing there, no sign that anyone has landed — but why should he leave any sign?
hvd.32044086822954	They both claim the head money given by the lodge for the shooting of old man Crabbe over at Stylestown, and who's to say which fired the bullet?
hvd.32044086822954	They have to — else how can we get him?
hvd.32044086822954	This professor that I've heard you mention?
hvd.32044086822954	Was he a politician? hvd.32044086822954 Was the door open?"
hvd.32044086822954	We have heard from Mr. Cecil Barker that you did not actually see — that you were never in the room where the tragedy occurred?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, Holmes,I murmured,"have you found anything out?"
hvd.32044086822954	Well, did you think of such a thing when you joined the Freeman's society at Chicago?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, have you anything more?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what are we to do now?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what happened?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what have you to say?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what if I am?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what is it?
hvd.32044086822954	Well?
hvd.32044086822954	Well?
hvd.32044086822954	Were these men Americans — Califomians?
hvd.32044086822954	What Bodymaster?
hvd.32044086822954	What about Archie Swindon?
hvd.32044086822954	What about Birlstone?
hvd.32044086822954	What about the shotgun?
hvd.32044086822954	What am I accused of?
hvd.32044086822954	What are we here for at all? hvd.32044086822954 What do you mean by'appears'?
hvd.32044086822954	What else could I do if you trusted me? hvd.32044086822954 What has the man done?"
hvd.32044086822954	What impression has my evi- dence made upon you?
hvd.32044086822954	What in thunder has that to do with you? hvd.32044086822954 What is the latest news of the ruffian?"
hvd.32044086822954	What is your evidence for this, Brother MC- Murdo?
hvd.32044086822954	What papers?
hvd.32044086822954	What sort of fool's talk is this? hvd.32044086822954 What sort of men?"
hvd.32044086822954	What the devil d'you mean by that?
hvd.32044086822954	What the hell is it to you who are my friends?
hvd.32044086822954	What think you of our ways, Brother?
hvd.32044086822954	What were they?
hvd.32044086822954	What were you doing?
hvd.32044086822954	What's come over you, Jack?
hvd.32044086822954	What's that?
hvd.32044086822954	What's this mark?
hvd.32044086822954	What, does he hate the police too?
hvd.32044086822954	When was that?
hvd.32044086822954	When you entered the room there was only a candle lighted on the table, was there not?
hvd.32044086822954	When?
hvd.32044086822954	When?
hvd.32044086822954	Where are the slippers now?
hvd.32044086822954	Where is he, then? hvd.32044086822954 Where's your warrant?"
hvd.32044086822954	Who are they?
hvd.32044086822954	Who is this?
hvd.32044086822954	Who is your district ruler?
hvd.32044086822954	Who then?
hvd.32044086822954	Who will volunteer for the job?
hvd.32044086822954	Why did he shoot him?
hvd.32044086822954	Why did he write at all? hvd.32044086822954 Why do you say'in this instance'?"
hvd.32044086822954	Why not go right down now and fix him?
hvd.32044086822954	Why not?
hvd.32044086822954	Why should we not leave together?
hvd.32044086822954	Why were you so scared of me? hvd.32044086822954 Why wo n't you tell me?"
hvd.32044086822954	Would you be afraid to sleep in the same room with a lunatic, a man with softening of the brain, an idiot whose mind has lost its grip?
hvd.32044086822954	You are aware,said he,"that the dead man's wedding ring has been taken from his finger?"
hvd.32044086822954	You at once rang for help?
hvd.32044086822954	You do n't associate his past with any par- ticular part of America?
hvd.32044086822954	You found something compromising?
hvd.32044086822954	You have already sworn the oath of secrecy and fidelity, and you are aware that the punishment for any breach of it is instant and inevitable death?
hvd.32044086822954	You have no reason to think it was criminal?
hvd.32044086822954	You mean that he has a great income and that he must earn it in an illegal fashion?
hvd.32044086822954	You sat in front of his writing desk?
hvd.32044086822954	You think it will come to that?
hvd.32044086822954	You think then, definitely, that Barker and Mrs. Douglas are guilty of the murder?
hvd.32044086822954	You think there is someone behind him?
hvd.32044086822954	You would n't kill this man?
hvd.32044086822954	You would n't squeal on a fellow?
hvd.32044086822954	You'll be the new Captain?
hvd.32044086822954	You'll do it, then?

hvd.32044086822954	Am I to lose my life's chance and all my heart's desire for someone else?
hvd.32044086822954	Ames, I understand that you have often seen this very unusual mark — a branded triangle inside a circle — upon Mr. Doug- las'forearm?"
hvd.32044086822954	And ca n't I speak alone with a gentle- man for five minutes but you must butt in on us?"
hvd.32044086822954	And how in the world has he got away without it?
hvd.32044086822954	As to the lodge, was n't it the order of the Bodymaster that the man was not to be killed — and what are you doing but killing him?"
hvd.32044086822954	Baldwin?"
hvd.32044086822954	Barker?"
hvd.32044086822954	Besides, if I wanted to, how could I do it?
hvd.32044086822954	Besides, what is there to be afraid of?
hvd.32044086822954	But I would ask you how did this man know that you lived here, or how to get into your house, or where to hide to get you?"
hvd.32044086822954	But his description — what of that?"
hvd.32044086822954	But how do you pro- pose to lay your hands on the so- called Por- lock?"
hvd.32044086822954	But if you are a Freeman, Jack, why should you not go down and make a friend of Boss McGinty?
hvd.32044086822954	But what do you gather from it?"
hvd.32044086822954	But what in the name of all that is won- derful made the fellow leave it behind?
hvd.32044086822954	But what's the game, Mr. Holmes — what's the game?"
hvd.32044086822954	But why this gun, of all weapons?"
hvd.32044086822954	But why — what's amiss with the names?"
hvd.32044086822954	But you've heard of Pinkerton's?"
hvd.32044086822954	But, hullo, who's the visitor?"
hvd.32044086822954	Can we for our present practical needs get any fur- ther than that?"
hvd.32044086822954	Can we have the butler in for a moment?
hvd.32044086822954	Can you make anything"of the inscription, Ames?"
hvd.32044086822954	Could n't we start out and scour the country before the fellow gets away?"
hvd.32044086822954	Could you take me away?"
hvd.32044086822954	Did Mr. Douglas entirely approve your friendship with his wife?"
hvd.32044086822954	Did he seem to scent a trap?"
hvd.32044086822954	Did n't you say that you have sent him money?"
hvd.32044086822954	Did you get anything else?"
hvd.32044086822954	Did you happen to observe a picture over the professor's head?"
hvd.32044086822954	Did you ob- serve that in life?"
hvd.32044086822954	Do they go up too?"
hvd.32044086822954	Do you back out?"

hvd.32044086822954	Does that make any impression on your mind?"
hvd.32044086822954	Does that strike you as very probable, Watson?"
hvd.32044086822954	Had this secret society to do with politics?"
hvd.32044086822954	Had you no- ticed anything unusual in his conduct, yesterday, Ames?"
hvd.32044086822954	Have n't we tried that before now, and what ever came of it?"
hvd.32044086822954	Have we reached the limits of what reason can supply?"
hvd.32044086822954	Have you any friends?"
hvd.32044086822954	Have you any of the sort in the house?"
hvd.32044086822954	Have you heard anything of the lodge in these parts?"

hvd.32044086822954	Holmes?"
hvd.32044086822954	How am I to know that you are not a married man — you, a stranger, that nobody knows?"
hvd.32044086822954	How could I give it up when it would be to break my oath and to desert my comrades?
hvd.32044086822954	How could he swear there was no such gun in the house?"
hvd.32044086822954	How could he?"
hvd.32044086822954	How could they be so sure that the sound of it would not bring someone on to them?
hvd.32044086822954	How did he acquire wealth?
hvd.32044086822954	How long are we to endure it?
hvd.32044086822954	How would he know this Pinkerton man?"
hvd.32044086822954	I guess you are new to this part, young man?"
hvd.32044086822954	I say to you, Ted Baldwin, what is the offense, Sir?"

hvd.32044086822954	Is it forgery, coining, bur- glary — where does the money come from?"
hvd.32044086822954	Is it not?
hvd.32044086822954	Is the water al- ways turbid?"

hvd.32044086822954	Or is it by the law courts and the Judge?
hvd.32044086822954	Perhaps you hate me too, now that I've told you as much?"
hvd.32044086822954	Pray what more could I do?
hvd.32044086822954	Ready?
hvd.32044086822954	See here, Morris, will you leave this thing in my hands?"

hvd.hn2bxl	Have you seen Pierrot's advertisement to- day?"
hvd.hn2bxl	All you desire is a plain statement, is it not?'' hvd.hn2bxl And he was well dressed?"
hvd.hn2bxl	But the three missing drawings are the most important? ” “ Undoubtedly.
hvd.hn2bxl	But where, then, is Gennaro? ” she asked. hvd.hn2bxl Can you not make reparation?
hvd.hn2bxl	Did you close it?
hvd.hn2bxl	Hardly on the evidence. ” “ What can we hope to do? ” “ We can not tell what correspondence may be there.
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you found out anything?
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you had something to eat? hvd.hn2bxl How far to Wallington? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	I understand that you are a doc- Have you ever heard of this prepara- tion? ”Devil's- foot root!
hvd.hn2bxl	Is Miss Cushing at home?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is she gone, Watson? hvd.hn2bxl Is that you, Mr. Smith? ” Holmes whispered.
hvd.hn2bxl	Man or woman? ” I asked. hvd.hn2bxl May I ask what your name is? ” “ No, you may not, ” said he, with decision.
hvd.hn2bxl	Oh, he went out the first night, did he?
hvd.hn2bxl	Robbed? ” “ No, there was no attempt at robbery.
hvd.hn2bxl	Stand still, will you? ” There was the click of the closing handcuffs. hvd.hn2bxl Surely you have heard of it?
hvd.hn2bxl	The what?
hvd.hn2bxl	Turn up the gas? hvd.hn2bxl Well, did you see him, Watson? ” “ Yes; he is coming."
hvd.hn2bxl	Well, you are their employer, ai n't you? hvd.hn2bxl What if I am? ” he asked, with a most villain- ous scowl.
hvd.hn2bxl	What the devil do you mean? hvd.hn2bxl What's the meaning of this? ” I heard him say at last, in a dry, rasping tone.
hvd.hn2bxl	What's this, Watson? hvd.hn2bxl Your sister Sarah lives, I think you said, at New Street, Wallington?
hvd.hn2bxl	'Why not?'
hvd.hn2bxl	A shocking crime has been committed, and I think I have now laid bare every detail of it. ” “ And the criminal?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Absurd, is it not?
hvd.hn2bxl	After all, you have done your best for your country, and I have done my best for mine, and what could be more natural?
hvd.hn2bxl	Ah, the shadows begin to fall, do they?
hvd.hn2bxl	An accident? ” “ Murder, if ever there was one upon earth. ” “ Good God!
hvd.hn2bxl	And do n't budge, whatever happens — whatever happens, do you hear?
hvd.hn2bxl	And why should these proofs of the deed be sent to Miss Sarah Cushing?
hvd.hn2bxl	And yet I would have trusted him as I trust myself. ” “ At what hour was the office closed on Mon- day?".
hvd.hn2bxl	And you, Les- trade, could you favour us with your company for an hour or two?
hvd.hn2bxl	Another one? ” “ Yes, here it is:"To- night.
hvd.hn2bxl	Any other point, Watson?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Baynes?"
hvd.hn2bxl	But I have been seated quietly in my chair, and what clues can I have given you? ”"You do yourself an injustice.
hvd.hn2bxl	But how about the disappearance of the others?!
hvd.hn2bxl	But how are you affected?''
hvd.hn2bxl	But some of these days you'll go too far, and you'll find yourself and your friend in trouble. ” “ For England, home and beauty- eh, Wat- son?
hvd.hn2bxl	But they do fall down, and when did you ever pick them up?
hvd.hn2bxl	But this is not a practical joke. ” • “ You are sure of it? ” “ The presumption is strongly against it.
hvd.hn2bxl	But what do you think of it, Mycroft? ”"Excellent, Sherlock!
hvd.hn2bxl	But what do you think of yourself spreading reports about me like that, and then crawling to me for help the moment you are in trouble?
hvd.hn2bxl	But what end?
hvd.hn2bxl	But what use will you make of it? ” Holmes picked up the Daily Telegraph which lay upon the table.
hvd.hn2bxl	But why?
hvd.hn2bxl	But why? ” Holmes leaned back in his armchair and took his notebook from his pocket.
hvd.hn2bxl	But, in the second place, why did you not come at once? ” “ What do you mean? ” Holmes glanced at his watch.
hvd.hn2bxl	But, in the second place, why did you not come at once? ” “ What do you mean? ” Holmes glanced at his watch.
hvd.hn2bxl	By the way, Mister, talking of Jack James, it seems to me you do n't do much to cover your men. ” “ What do you mean?"
hvd.hn2bxl	By the way, do you know what Mycroft is?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Can you think of no other way you could have got this thing? ”"I ca n't think.
hvd.hn2bxl	Can you un- derstand what I say? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	Could I fancy that your astute judg- ment would pass a dying man who, however weak, had no rise of pulse or temperature?
hvd.hn2bxl	Could it have been an official superior who took the papers?
hvd.hn2bxl	Could the good people who were her companions not screen her from his violence or his blackmail?
hvd.hn2bxl	Could we see her, then and try to use her?
hvd.hn2bxl	Dark clothes- nothing you would note. ”"He gave no name? ”!
hvd.hn2bxl	Did anything come by post? ” “ By post? ” “ A box by chance?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Did anything come by post? ” “ By post? ” “ A box by chance?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Did anything come by post? ” “ By post? ” “ A box by chance?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Did he ask what ailed me? ” “ I told him about the Chinese in the East- end. ”"Exactly!
hvd.hn2bxl	Did his companions follow him and kill him?
hvd.hn2bxl	Did they ever show any apprehension of coming danger? ” “ Nothing of the kind. ”"You have nothing to add then, which could assist me?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Did they ever show any apprehension of coming danger? ” “ Nothing of the kind. ”"You have nothing to add then, which could assist me?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Did you chance to observe what became of it?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Did you say he was dead? ” “ Yes, sir, he is dead."
hvd.hn2bxl	Do I hear the step of a friend? ” There were footfalls outside, the door opened, and Inspector Morton appeared.
hvd.hn2bxl	Do you im- agine that I have no respect for your medical talents?
hvd.hn2bxl	Do you know what is the matter with you? ” “ The same,"said Holmes.
hvd.hn2bxl	Do you remember a box- an ivory box?
hvd.hn2bxl	Do you suppose that such a consideration weighs with me for an instant?
hvd.hn2bxl	Does she know?
hvd.hn2bxl	Eh?
hvd.hn2bxl	Eight, was it not? ” he asked, eagerly.
hvd.hn2bxl	Finally, if he did not throw this substance into the fire at the moment of leaving the room, who did do so?
hvd.hn2bxl	Find an answer to all these questions, and you will have done good service for your country. ”.“Why do you not solve it yourself, Mycroft?
hvd.hn2bxl	From an official point of view it's simply awful. ” “ But you have recovered them? ”"No, Sherlock, no!
hvd.hn2bxl	Good heavens, Watson, what has become of any brains that God has given me?
hvd.hn2bxl	Gorgiano of the Red Circle? ” “ Oh, he has a European fame, has he?
hvd.hn2bxl	Gorgiano of the Red Circle? ” “ Oh, he has a European fame, has he?
hvd.hn2bxl	Had he already overtaken her?
hvd.hn2bxl	Has he any one outstanding quality?
hvd.hn2bxl	Has she perhaps met her end on the same night as the fricnd whom she had summoned?
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you a clue? ” “ An idea- an indication, no more.
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you been there yourself, Mr. Roundhay? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you heard of the death of the chief? ” “ We have just come from his house."
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you read up the case? ” “ We have just done so.
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you the cab below?
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you the tools? ”"They are here, in my overcoat. ”"Excellent.
hvd.hn2bxl	Holmes?"
hvd.hn2bxl	How could you call? ” “ Your cipher was not difficult, madam.
hvd.hn2bxl	How do I come to be mixed up with the case? ” “ Very simply, sir, ” Inspector Baynes an- swered.
hvd.hn2bxl	How is any news or any mes- sage to reach him from without?
hvd.hn2bxl	How is he???
hvd.hn2bxl	How is he???
hvd.hn2bxl	How is he???
hvd.hn2bxl	How many did you make it?
hvd.hn2bxl	How would Lausanne do, my dear Watson- first- class tickets and all expenses paid on a princely scale? ” “ Splendid!
hvd.hn2bxl	I only kept them here until my friend, Mr. Holmes, should have seen them in your presence. ” “ Why in my presence, sir?"
hvd.hn2bxl	I put them there myself. ” “ Is there no watchman to the building?"
hvd.hn2bxl	I should put Scotland Yard in touch with this business — and yet, it is too pressing for us to leave. ”"Shall I go for the police?"
hvd.hn2bxl	I suppose there could not be two people in your rooms, Mrs. Warren? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn2bxl	I suppose when you doctored you found yourself studying cases without thought of a fee?"
hvd.hn2bxl	I understand that there was no sign of rob- bery? ”"Apparently not.
hvd.hn2bxl	I'd like you to know before you die. ” “ Give me something to ease my pain. ”"Painful, is it?
hvd.hn2bxl	I'd rather watch him from over the water. ” “ But you're an American citizen?"
hvd.hn2bxl	I've been taking the signals. ”"Signals? ” “ Yes, from that window.
hvd.hn2bxl	If I failed to do[ 203] VI THE DISAPPEARANCE OF LADY FRANCES CARFAX DUT why Turkish? ” asked Mr. Sherlock D Holmes, gazing fixedly at my boots.
hvd.hn2bxl	If she knew, why should she call the police in?
hvd.hn2bxl	If the latter, may it be taken as some sign of self- reproach for duty neglected?
hvd.hn2bxl	If the law can do nothing we must take: the risk ourselves. ” “ What do you suggest? ” “ I know which is her room.
hvd.hn2bxl	If the two people were mur- dered, who but their murderer would have sent this sign of his work to Miss Cushing?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is it a coincidence that it is found at the very point where the train pitches and sways as it comes round on the points?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is it not so? ” “ We are police, madam. ” She looked round into the shadows of the room.
hvd.hn2bxl	Is not that the place where an object upon the roof might be expected to fall off?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is she alive or dead?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is she alive?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is that all clear?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is that not enough? ”[ 181] HIS LAST BOW Yes, Mrs. Hudson was right.
hvd.hn2bxl	Is that not so? ” “ There has been an inquest. ” said I.
hvd.hn2bxl	Is there a spark left?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is there any point which is not quite clear to you? ” “ The object of the mulatto cook's return?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Is there any point which is not quite clear to you? ” “ The object of the mulatto cook's return?"
hvd.hn2bxl	It is very curious and complex, Watson. ” “ Why should you go further in it?
hvd.hn2bxl	It sounds plaus- ible, does it not?
hvd.hn2bxl	It was just who would get his evidence first. ”"Then why did you arrest the mulatto? ” Baynes chuckled.
hvd.hn2bxl	Let me see, what were the points?
hvd.hn2bxl	MYCROFT. ”"Cadogan West?
hvd.hn2bxl	My God, shall I ever forget their faces when they saw who was in the boat that was closing in upon them?
hvd.hn2bxl	My God, whoever would have thought that it could have come to this?
hvd.hn2bxl	Now, Dr. Sterndale, how do you justify such conduct, and what were the motives for your actions?
hvd.hn2bxl	Now, my dear Watson, is it beyond the limits of human ingenuity to furnish an explanation which would cover both these big facts?
hvd.hn2bxl	Now, what did he want with Eccles?
hvd.hn2bxl	Now, when did this occur?
hvd.hn2bxl	Oh, you will see it out, will you?
hvd.hn2bxl	Once again I ask you, where is your warrant?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Only a week or so ago we had a man here upon the same errand. ” “ Did he give a name? ” I asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	Only cure me, and I'll forget it. ”"Forget what? ” “ Well, about Victor Savage's death.
hvd.hn2bxl	Only one cheque has been drawn since. ” “ To whom, and where? ” “ To Miss Marie Devine.
hvd.hn2bxl	Or did he drop it in the carriage?
hvd.hn2bxl	Or is she merely a prisoner?
hvd.hn2bxl	Otherwise why should not her lug- gage have been openly labelled for Baden?
hvd.hn2bxl	Perhaps you can not yourself recall how your reverie commenced?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Poor devil, how could I be angry when I saw him lying in such a plight before me?
hvd.hn2bxl	Pray do n't think it a liberty if I give you a word of friendly warning. ”"Of warning, Mr. Holmes?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Seclusion I can understand; but why print?
hvd.hn2bxl	Shall I read it, Mr. Gregson? ” The Londoner nodded.
hvd.hn2bxl	Shall the world, then, be overrun by oysters?
hvd.hn2bxl	She would have come. ” “ Will you see him?"
hvd.hn2bxl	So far all is clear. ” “ But what is at the root of it? ” “ Ah, yes, Watson- severely practical, as usual!
hvd.hn2bxl	So far it holds together. ” “ What is the next step?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Suddenly he darted away into the fog. ” “ Without a word? ”"He gave an exclamation; that was all.
hvd.hn2bxl	Sug- gestive, Watson, is it not? ” “ Of caution?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Sug- gestive, Watson, is it not? ” “ Of caution?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Surely she had other correspondents? ” “ There is one correspondent who is a sure[ 208] THE DISAPPEARANCE OF LADY FRANCES CARFAX draw, Watson.
hvd.hn2bxl	That West, of all men, should have done such a thing! ” “ You are sure of his guilt, then? ” “ I can see no other way out of it.
hvd.hn2bxl	That ca n't be all, Watson?
hvd.hn2bxl	That was the end of the matter so far as I was concerned. ”"And your brother?"
hvd.hn2bxl	That would account for everything, would it not? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	That would explain his persistence, would it not? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	That would fully explain the facts, would it not? ” The whole inexplicable tangle seemed to straighten out before me.
hvd.hn2bxl	The cards[ 254] HIS LAST BOW of their senses?
hvd.hn2bxl	The general sequence of events is pretty clear, is it not?
hvd.hn2bxl	The gentle- man was bearded and moustached, you say?"
hvd.hn2bxl	The man met his death elsewhere, and his body was on the roof of a carriage. ” “ On the roof! ”"Remarkable, is it not?
hvd.hn2bxl	The oval seal is un- doubtedly a plain sleeve- link- what else is of such a shape?
hvd.hn2bxl	The sum was fifty pounds. ” “ And who is Miss Marie Devine? ”"That also I have been able to discover.
hvd.hn2bxl	The word puts me on the alert. ”"Have you it there? ” I asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	Then, again, where is the price of his treason?
hvd.hn2bxl	Then, again, why should he leave the[ 154] ADVENTURE OF THE BRUCE- PARTINGTON PLANS girl in the street and dart away to commit a felony? ”"Exactly!
hvd.hn2bxl	Then, again, why such laconic messages? ” “ I can not imagine. ” “ It opens a pleasing field for intelligent specu- lation.
hvd.hn2bxl	There was his crime; what was to be his punish- ment?
hvd.hn2bxl	There's only the one exit to these flats, so we have him safe. ”, “ Who is he?"
hvd.hn2bxl	They had him alone at their mercy every other night in the week. ” “ Then why did they fly? ” “ Quite so.
hvd.hn2bxl	Think yourself smart, do n't you?
hvd.hn2bxl	Unique, per- fectly unique, and yet why not?
hvd.hn2bxl	Was it taken from him in order to conceal the station from which he came?
hvd.hn2bxl	Was that the secret of her con- tinued silence?
hvd.hn2bxl	Was there any clue, may I ask, as to the exact hour that the man met his death? ” “ He had been there since one o'clock.
hvd.hn2bxl	We picked up the[ 15] HIS LAST BOW scent at Charing Cross Post Office and came on here. ”"But why do you follow me?
hvd.hn2bxl	Well, Mrs. Warren, what now?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Well, what remains?
hvd.hn2bxl	What about his luggage? ”"He had one big brown bag with him- nothing else. ” “ Well, we do n't seem to have much material to help us.
hvd.hn2bxl	What brings you here? ” “ The same reasons that bring you, I expect, ” said Gregson.
hvd.hn2bxl	What can it matter to him that his landlady should have a word of his writing?
hvd.hn2bxl	What could Eccles supply?
hvd.hn2bxl	What could the coffin mean, and for whom could it be but for her? ”"We will do all that can be done, Mr. Green.
hvd.hn2bxl	What did we see first?
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you make of these bones? ”"A lamb, I should say, or a kid. ” “ And the white cock?"
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you make of these bones? ”"A lamb, I should say, or a kid. ” “ And the white cock?"
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you mean? ” “ I suppose there are no great number of points on a system such as this? ” “ No; there are very few."
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you mean? ” “ I suppose there are no great number of points on a system such as this? ” “ No; there are very few."
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you mean? ” “ I will tell you, ” said Holmes, “ and the reason why I tell you is that I hope frankness may beget frankness.
hvd.hn2bxl	What does he want?
hvd.hn2bxl	What does that mean?
hvd.hn2bxl	What does the law of England care for the rivers of blood shed years ago in San Pedro, or for the ship- load of treasure which this man has stolen?
hvd.hn2bxl	What had be- come of the other three?
hvd.hn2bxl	What happened next? ” “ The woman came out, but I had hid myself in[ 223] HIS LAST BOW a doorway.
hvd.hn2bxl	What has he done?
hvd.hn2bxl	What have I done?
hvd.hn2bxl	What have you to gain from it? ”"What, indeed?
hvd.hn2bxl	What have you to gain from it? ”"What, indeed?
hvd.hn2bxl	What horrible purpose, what[ 213] HIS LAST BOW deep design, lay behind this long pursuit?
hvd.hn2bxl	What human contrivance could do that? ”"I fear, ” said Holmes,"that if the matter is beyond humanity it is certainly beyond me.
hvd.hn2bxl	What in the world can he have to do with it?
hvd.hn2bxl	What is at the root of it all?
hvd.hn2bxl	What is he hiding for?
hvd.hn2bxl	What is the result?
hvd.hn2bxl	What is there for us to do? ”"To act, Sherlock- to act! ” cried Mycroft, springing to his feet.
hvd.hn2bxl	What next? ” said he.
hvd.hn2bxl	What reason then?
hvd.hn2bxl	What say you, Watson?
hvd.hn2bxl	What sort of a game is that, eh?"
hvd.hn2bxl	What upheaval can possibly have derailed him?"
hvd.hn2bxl	What was I say- ing, Watson? ”"My directions for Mr. Culverton Smith."
hvd.hn2bxl	What was my baggage or Africa to me when I learned that such a fate had come upon my darling?
hvd.hn2bxl	What were the tech- nical papers? ” “ Ah, there's the point!
hvd.hn2bxl	What would it suggest, Wat- son? ” “ That he desired to conceal his handwriting. ”"But why?
hvd.hn2bxl	What would it suggest, Wat- son? ” “ That he desired to conceal his handwriting. ”"But why?

hvd.hn2bxl	Why did Cadogan West take the papers, where are the missing ones, how did he die, how came his body where it was found, how can the evil be set right?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why did he not do so?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why did they fly?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why did you not call in a doc- tor? ”"He would n't have it, sir.
hvd.hn2bxl	Why have you pursued her?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why should such a message stop in such a way?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why so large a coffin for so small a body?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why, then, was he picked out from all the other people whom Garcia met as particularly suited to his purpose?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why?
hvd.hn2bxl	Would it be possible for me to inspect the train which contained the passenger who heard the thud of a fall in the fog? ”"I fear not, Mr. Holmes.
hvd.hn2bxl	Yes, Watson, there are good reasons to suspect that there has been a substitution of lodgers. ” “ But for what possible end? ”"Ah!
hvd.hn2bxl	Yes, sir, my own views are very different. ”"You have a theory then? ” “ And I'll work it myself, Mr. Holmes.
hvd.hn2bxl	Yet that is precisely what we are about to make. ” “ Could we not get a warrant and legalise it?"
hvd.hn2bxl	You are police, are you not?
hvd.hn2bxl	You do n't object to tobacco, I take it?
hvd.hn2bxl	You know what that is? ”"Search me, ” said the American.
hvd.hn2bxl	You opened it- do you remember? ” “ Yes, yes, I opened it.
hvd.hn2bxl	You perceive our difficulties, Watson? ” “ They are only too clear,"I answered, with conviction.
hvd.hn2bxl	You recognise the symptoms? ” “ Only too well. ”"Well, I should n't be surprised, Holmes.
hvd.hn2bxl	You understand, madam, that your husband will be ar- rested and tried for the death of the man who lies before us?
hvd.hn2bxl	You wo n't be offended, Watson?
hvd.hn2bxl	You wo n't put me alone into a cell, sir?
hvd.hn2bxl	You would not denounce the man? ” “ Certainly not, ” I answered.

hvd.hn2bxl	“ Ah, the Conqueror, perhaps? ” “ No, the May Day, when last I heard.

hvd.hn2bxl	“ And that ring went with him to London? ” “ He said so. ” “ And your key never left your possession?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Any- thing more?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Are you Mr. John Scott Eccles, of Popham House, Lee?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Brother Mycroft is coming round. ” “ Why not? ” I asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ But how come you into this matter, Miss Burnet? ” asked Holmes.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ But how?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ But surely, Holmes, character goes for some- thing?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ But why?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Ca n't you be happy for five minutes without Mary, Jim?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Ca n't you hear me, Holmes? ” There was a rustling, as if he had shaken the sick man roughly by the shoulder.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Can you fit us both into your dogcart? ” “ Yes, I can. ” “ Then, Watson, we will postpone our break- fast.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Dead?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Did you observe them closely?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Does he not explain? ” Holmes handed me his brother's telegram.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ For my sake? ” “ I know what is the matter with me.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Have you come from Holmes? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ How do you define the word “ grotesque'?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ How far is it to the house where this singular tragedy occurred? ”"About a mile inland."
hvd.hn2bxl	“ How is Mr. Holmes, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ I have just left him. ” “ What about Holmes?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ I presume that this Jim Browner, the steward of a Liverpool boat, is the man whom you sus- pect? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Is there any other little service that I can do you, my friend? ”"A match and a cigarette. ” I nearly called out in my joy and my amaze- ment.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ May I ask, sir, what you did then?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ May I introduce you to Mr. Sherlock Holmes? ” he said to the cabman.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ None; but he was an Englishman, though of an unusual type. ” “ A savage?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Nothing of interest in the paper, Watson?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Oh, you did, did you? ” Out came the official notebook.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Prints it? ” “ Yes, sir; prints it in pencil.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Should I appeal to the law?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Should I be guilty of a liberty if I lit a cigar and placed it between your lips?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Then you have none in me?''
hvd.hn2bxl	“ This is Mr. Leverton, of Pinkerton's American Agency. ” “ The hero of the Long Island Cave mystery?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ This was not the bird that I was looking for. ” “ Who is he? ” asked Mycroft eagerly.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well, Watson, ” he asked, turning suddenly upon me,"what do you make of it?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well, it figures out that way, does it not?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well, what is the next step? ”"The next step is the note received by Garcia at the dinner.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well? ” asked Von Bork eagerly, running for- ward to meet his visitor.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well? ” he asked, in that vibrant voice which told of the fiery soul behind the cold, grey face.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What about the dough? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What do you make of it? ” CO[ 35] HIS LAST BOW He held up his candle before an extraordinary object which stood at the back of the dresser.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What do you make of this string, Lestrade? ” “ It has been tarred. ” “ Precisely.

hvd.hn2bxl	“ What is this, Mr. Holmes? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What is this? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What is this?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What of it?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What time was the funeral?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What were your plans? ” he asked, at last.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ When does he lunch? ”"About one, sir. ” “ Then Dr. Watson and I will come round in time.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Where is the Lady Frances Carfax? ” I asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Where is your warrant? ” Holmes half drew a revolver from his pocket.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Where's Sarah?'
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Who is this person?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Why do you think so? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Why had he no ticket? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Why not?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ You are not angry? ” he asked, gasping for breath.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ You are proud of your brains, Holmes, are you not?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ You do n't mean that Baynes has got him?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ You wo n't cut that metal with any tool. ” “ But the lock? ” “ No, it's a double combination lock.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ You've seen the paper, Mr. Holmes? ” he asked, holding one out to us.
