513*****"Well, Robin, are you dreaming?"
513Ah, but whom or what did she see besides?
513Am I to bear all this, when yonder fire will insure me from the whole?
513And do we want anything more, Miriam?"
513And was there, indeed, such a resemblance as the crowd had testified?
513And what do you think she saw there?
513And what remains?
513And what was the Great Stone Face?
513But where was the heart?

513Did she send any word to her old father, or say when she was coming back?"
513Did you never hear of Ethan Brand?"
513Do you happen to know such a man, sir?"

513How can I rejoice in my strength and delicacy of feeling, when they have but made great sorrows out of little ones?
513I''ve been searching, half the night, for one Major Molineux, now, sir, is there really such a person in these parts, or am I dreaming?"

513Or was that heavenly light the visible sanctity of the place,--visible because no earthly and impure feet were within the walls?
513Sha''n''t you love her dearly, Peony?"
513Shall we step round the corner by that darkish house and take our share of the fun?"
513Shall we tell our stories, here by this pleasant spring, for our own pastime, and the benefit of these misguided young lovers?"
513Well, and so you have found the Unpardonable Sin?"
513What did the benign lips seem to say?
513What for did you bring her in?"
513What had he seen?
513What if his kinsman should glide through yonder gate, and nod and smile to him in dimly passing by?
513What if the object of his search, which had been so often and so strangely thwarted, were all the time mouldering in his shroud?
513What is the voice of song, when the world lacks the ear of taste?
513What say you?"
513What would the sisters say, if thee were to sit so close to me?"
513Whereabouts is the dwelling of my kinsman, Major Molineux?"
513Who is this little girl?"
513Why, then, pure seeker of the good and true, shouldst thou hope to find me, in yonder image of the divine?"
513Will you show me the way to the ferry?"
513Wo n''t it be nice?"
513Would you have her freeze to death?"
513must I wait here all night for my kinsman, Major Molineux?"
513sternly replied Ethan Brand,"what need have I of the Devil?
513then you are Ethan Brand himself?"
513what more to achieve?"
513who is it?"
513why hast thou warred with Nature, turning all her higher and more perfect gifts to the ruin of me, their possessor?
513will you guide me to the house of my kinsman, Major Molineux?"
39716And must the world wait longer yet?
39716And what is this?
39716And why not? 39716 And why?"
39716And will you,said he to the carver,"permit this masterpiece to become the figure- head of a vessel?
39716And you did dream of it?
39716Are not those thoughts divine?
39716Are we grown old again, so soon?
39716Are you mad, old man?
39716Aylmer, are you in earnest?
39716But did Ponce de Leon ever find it?
39716But why do we speak of dying? 39716 Can you give a traveller a night''s lodging?"
39716Danger? 39716 Do you see it?--do you see it?"
39716Father, what is that?
39716Georgiana,said he,"has it never occurred to you that the mark upon your cheek might be removed?"
39716Good evening, stranger,said the lime- burner;"whence come you, so late in the day?"
39716How dare you stay the march of King James''s Governor?
39716How otherwise should this carver feel himself entitled to transcend all rules, and make me ashamed of quoting them?
39716If the question is a fair one,proceeded Bartram,"where might it be?"
39716Is it with this lotion that you intend to bathe my cheek?
39716Is the man thinking what he will do when he is a widower?
39716My dear old friends,repeated Dr. Heidegger,"may I reckon on your aid in performing an exceedingly curious experiment?"
39716O majestic friend,he murmured, addressing the Great Stone Face,"is not this man worthy to resemble thee?"
39716Poor? 39716 See you not, he is some old round- headed dignitary, who hath lain asleep these thirty years, and knows nothing of the change of times?
39716Shall I tell the secrets of yours? 39716 The man that went in search of the Unpardonable Sin?"
39716The same?
39716Then why did you take me from my mother''s side? 39716 Then you are going towards Vermont?"
39716Was the fellow''s heart made of marble?
39716What does this old fellow here?
39716What has come over you? 39716 What is here?
39716What is it, mother?
39716What is the Unpardonable Sin?
39716What more have I to seek? 39716 What prophecy do you mean, dear mother?"
39716Whence did he come? 39716 Where am I?
39716Wherefore are you sad?
39716Who are you, my strangely gifted guest?
39716Who do you mean? 39716 Who is this gray patriarch?"
39716Who is this venerable brother?
39716Why did you hesitate to tell me this?
39716Why do you come hither? 39716 Why do you keep such a terrific drug?"
39716Why, who are you?
39716Why, you uncivil scoundrel,cried the fierce doctor,"is that the way you respond to the kindness of your best friends?
39716Would you throw the blight of that fatal birthmark over my labors? 39716 And was there, indeed, such a resemblance as the crowd had testified? 39716 And what speak ye of James? 39716 And what was the Great Stone Face? 39716 And which of these designs do you prefer? 39716 And who was the Gray Champion? 39716 But I trust you do not mean to desecrate this exquisite creature with paint, like those staring kings and admirals yonder?
39716But where was the Gray Champion?
39716But where was the heart?
39716But, how is he to attain his ends?
39716Can it be that nobody caught sight of him?
39716Can it have been my work?
39716Can not you remove this little, little mark, which I cover with the tips of two small fingers?
39716Did she send any word to her old father, or say when she was coming back?"
39716Did you never hear of Ethan Brand?"
39716Had the changes of a lifetime been crowded into so brief a space, and were they now four aged people, sitting with their old friend, Dr. Heidegger?
39716Have you no trust in your husband?"
39716How is it that, possessing the idea which you have now uttered, you should produce only such works as these?"
39716Is not he the very picture of your Old Man of the Mountain?"
39716Is not the kindred of a common fate a closer tie than that of birth?
39716Is this beyond your power, for the sake of your own peace, and to save your poor wife from madness?"
39716Not a soul would ask,''Who was he?
39716Now what should an old woman wish for, when she can go but a step or two before she comes to her grave?
39716Now, would you deem it possible that this rose of half a century could ever bloom again?"
39716Or, if you prefer a female figure, what say you to Britannia with the trident?"
39716Shall I put these feelings into words?"
39716Was it an illusion?
39716Was it delusion?
39716Well, and so you have found the Unpardonable Sin?"
39716What did the benign lips seem to say?
39716What had he seen?
39716What inspired hand is beckoning this wood to arise and live?
39716What is his purpose?
39716What sort of a man was Wakefield?
39716Whither did the wanderer go?''
39716Who can this old man be?"
39716Who has done this?"
39716Who has not heard their name?
39716Who knows but I may take a glimpse at myself, and see whether all''s right?"
39716Whose was the agony of that death moment?
39716Whose work is this?"
39716Why, then, pure seeker of the good and true, shouldst thou hope to find me, in yonder image of the divine?"
39716Will she die?
39716Would you go to the sole home that is left you?
39716said Colonel Killigrew, who believed not a word of the doctor''s story;"and what may be the effect of this fluid on the human frame?"
39716sternly replied Ethan Brand,"what need have I of the Devil?
39716then you are Ethan Brand himself?"
39716what more to achieve?"
39716whither are you going?
39716who is it?"
7085A young lady?
7085And does it concern my father?
7085And have they heard nothing of him since?
7085And how happens this, friend Hugh? 7085 And how is the old tree to decide the question?"
7085And was this indeed so?
7085And what if I come to settle down among these quiet hills where I was born?
7085And what if I refuse to put myself under your orders?
7085And what is to be the proof?
7085And what is your concern with her? 7085 And where is he now?"
7085And wherefore was it dangerous?
7085And why at that time more than at all times?
7085And you are certain that, if they passed at all, it must have been before that hour?
7085And, if I should, how am I like to be bettered by it?
7085And, when her father comes to demand his daughter of me, what answer shall I make?
7085Are you so soon weary of this quiet retreat?
7085But who would know me now?
7085But why were they abroad on such a night?
7085But will not the young lady try her skill?
7085By what authority have you absented yourself from the walls of Alma Mater during term- time?
7085Can it be misery? 7085 Did he obtain any information from you as to the course?"
7085Do you bring news of him?
7085Do you meet with much success, sir?
7085Do you repent so soon?
7085Do you still refuse my request, when its object is but your own good, and that of one who should be most dear to you?
7085Do you take my best parlor for the cabin of the Black Andrew, where a pistol- shot was a nightly pastime?
7085Dr. Melmoth, am I so fortunate as to meet you?
7085Ellen, dearest child,at length said the doctor,"what is the meaning of this?"
7085Forget her? 7085 Had we not better proceed with our breakfast?
7085Has he then lost his senses?
7085Have I not just informed you that she has gone, fled, eloped? 7085 Have you forgotten your father and his misfortunes?
7085Have you the means of compelling obedience? 7085 Have you, then, forgotten your old friend?"
7085How could you forbear to enter?
7085How shall we break the intelligence to her? 7085 I am to understand, then, that you refuse my offer?"
7085I have brought my mother to her grave,--and what can a son do more? 7085 In the Devil''s name, woman, of what are you speaking?"
7085Is he ill? 7085 Is there a door in all the Province that is barred or bolted, night or day?
7085Lonely, is it, sweet Ellen?
7085Misguided youth, did your reverence say?
7085Miss Langton, is it the evening breeze alone that sends you homeward?
7085Miss Langton,he inquired,"what do you here at such an hour, and with such a companion?"
7085My husband stands gazing on me,she said again;"but my son,--where is he?
7085My old comrade, will you not give up this scheme?
7085Oh, do you not know him? 7085 Or has your anxiety for your father induced you to set forth alone in quest of the afflicted old man?"
7085Perhaps, sir,said Edward, with much gravity,"you might yourself be prevailed upon to accept the professorship of poetry?"
7085She had a son, then?
7085Tears, were there? 7085 The gray?
7085The world is wide enough for both of us; and why should you wish me out of it?
7085Then this is your living self, Hugh Crombie?
7085Was it wise, then, to tempt it thus, when, if it yield, the result must be your own misery?
7085Was she not out of her right mind, Dolly?
7085Well, Dolly, what news this morning?
7085Well, master; and what is your business with me?
7085What do you mean? 7085 What if I, too, am weary of the life we have led,--or afraid, perhaps, that it will come to too speedy an end?
7085What is your pleasure with me, sir?
7085What know you of ladies? 7085 What know you respecting my purpose?"
7085What right have you to speak of her innocence? 7085 What say you?
7085What shall it be?--a bumper of wine with an egg? 7085 What would you with me?"
7085When may we look for your return?
7085Where is my father? 7085 Where-- where are they?"
7085Who is this angel, mine host, that has taken up her abode in the Hand and Bottle?
7085Why do you interfere, sir?
7085Why is it singular?
7085Why, Hugh, what has come over you since we last met? 7085 Will Professor Crombie favor us with a specimen of his productions?"
7085Will he return to me? 7085 Will you not attend your mother''s funeral?"
7085Will you take it now?
7085Woman, whither do you go?
7085Would it not be well to return?
7085Would you have me tell it to the bare walls?
7085You have kept watch, then, since midnight?
7085You have not told her the bad news, I trust?
7085Your father,he began,--"do you not love him?
7085And now, Hugh, how is it that you have become possessed of this comfortable dwelling and of these pleasant fields?"
7085Any commands in my line?"
7085But now he felt the first thrilling of one of the many ties, that, so long as we breathe the common air,( and who shall say how much longer?)
7085But now to be serious,--and there has been something serious in your eye all this while,--what is your purpose in coming hither?
7085But who is this, who rides on so slowly before us?"
7085But, if I choose the former, what then?"
7085By what claim can either man or woman henceforth expect mercy from me?
7085Can I trust you?"
7085Can it be?"
7085Did you see her, Edward?"
7085Do you mean Ellen Langton, daughter of the old merchant Langton, whom you have some cause to remember?"
7085Do you mean to take the law with you?
7085Does a girl call it ruin to be made an honest wedded wife?
7085Does your power extend to men?
7085Ellen, I trust, is well?"
7085Ellen, shall we alight?"
7085Else why do I stand before you a living man?"
7085For what purpose?"
7085Has he, then, the start of me?"
7085Have we not done twenty worse deeds of a morning, and laughed over them at night?"
7085He continued aloud,"Well, what is your will with me?
7085How is my child?
7085Is he in danger?"
7085Is it not so, Ellen?
7085Langton?"
7085May I beg,"he continued, nothing the superior condition of his rival''s horse,"that you will not attempt to accommodate your pace to mine?"
7085May I hope that, in consideration of my mental distraction and the causes of it, you will forget what has passed?"
7085May there not be happiness in the life of a fish?"
7085Melmoth?"
7085My dame advised strong waters;''But, Dame Crombie,''says I,''would ye corrupt their youth?''
7085My mother-- what could I hear of her but misery?
7085Or do you rule only over simple girls?
7085Or will you make me a partner in your trade, since you know my qualifications?
7085Ruin, do you say?
7085Shall I have your good word, Hugh, to set me up in an honest way of life?
7085Shall I see him before I die?"
7085Shall we try the adventure now, Ellen?"
7085The motto on the title- page of the original was from Southey:"Wilt thou go on with me?"
7085Theirs was a long life of calm and quiet bliss; and what matters it, that, except in these pages, they have left no name behind them?
7085Think you her father will rest easy in the ocean, Hugh Crombie, when I am his son- in- law?"
7085What is the meaning of this?"
7085What reason have you to suppose that the persons for whom you watch are not already beyond the village?"
7085What should be my next measure after arriving at the town?"
7085What think you of the plan?"
7085Where is our son?
7085Whither is she gone?"
7085Will he not comfort me now?"
7085Will it not be happiness to form the tie that shall connect you to the world?
7085Would you do aught for his welfare?"
7085and when shall I meet him?"
7085has she gone?"
7085he rejoined;"am I not with you?
7085murmured the doctor, in a perfectly inaudible voice,"Well-- and when I reach the town, what then?"
7085or a glass of smooth, old, oily brandy, such as Dame Crombie and I keep for our own drinking?
7085or will you right your wrongs, if you have any, with your own right hand?"
7085what do I see?"
7085what is this?"
7085who ride yonder?"
976And how dare you make this disturbance, while I am sacrificing a black bull to my father Neptune?
976And how soon shall I be strong enough?
976And is he a live giant, or a brazen image?
976And what do you want in my dominions?
976And will you carry me back when I have seen it?
976Are they as good as the first?
976Are you awake, Prince Theseus?
976Are you sure, beautiful Medea,asked Jason,"quite sure, that the unguent in the gold box will prove a remedy against those terrible burns?"
976But can I do nothing to help them?
976But how shall I ever find him,asked Theseus,"if the labyrinth so bewilders me as you say it will?"
976But is not this enough? 976 Did there really come any words out of the hole?"
976Did you see that flash of light?
976Do not you see you are lost, without me as your good angel? 976 Do you not know that this island is enchanted?
976Do you see it?
976Do you see? 976 Do you, indeed, my dear child?"
976Does it presume to be green, when I have bidden it be barren, until my daughter shall be restored to my arms?
976Does the earth disobey me?
976Does your majesty see his confusion?
976Foolish woman,answered Ceres,"did you not promise to intrust this poor infant entirely to me?
976Have they undergone a similar change, through the arts of this wicked Circe?
976Have you anything to tell me, little bird?
976Have you come so far to seek it,exclaimed Medea,"and do you not recognize the meed of all your toils and perils, when it glitters before your eyes?
976Have you forgotten what guards it?
976Have you seen a beautiful maiden, dressed like a king''s daughter, and mounted on a snow- white bull, that gallops as swiftly as the wind?
976How will you prevent me,asked Hercules,"from going whither I please?"
976Is it a wholesome wine?
976Is it much farther?
976Is it not a very pleasant stream?
976Must we wait long for harvest time?
976My child,said she,"did you taste any food while you were in King Pluto''s palace?"
976My pretty bird,said Eurylochus-- for he was a wary person, and let no token of harm escape his notice--"my pretty bird, who sent you hither?
976O brindled cow,cried he, in a tone of despair,"do you never mean to stop?"
976O my dear son,cried King Aegeus,"why should you expose yourself to this horrible fate?
976O my sweet violets, shall I never see you again?
976O, daughter of the Talking Oak,cried he,"how shall we set to work to get our vessel into the water?"
976O, where is my dear child?
976On what errand?
976Pray, nurse,the queen kept saying,"how is it that you make the child thrive so?"
976Sacred oracle of Delphi,said he,"whither shall I go next in quest of my dear sister Europa?"
976See if you can lift this rock on which we are sitting?
976That little bird, which met me at the edge of the cliff,exclaimed Ulysses;"was he a human being once?"
976Well, but, dear mother,asked the boy,"why can not I go to this famous city of Athens, and tell King Aegeus that I am his son?"
976What does this mean?
976What hast thou to do with an affair like this? 976 What in the world, my little fellow,"ejaculated Hercules,"may you be?"
976What is it?
976What is the matter, Jason?
976What is there to gratify her heart? 976 What is this wonder?"
976What kind of a monster may that be? 976 What mean you, little bird?"
976What says King Aetes, my royal and upright father?
976What shall I do,said he,"in order to win the Golden Fleece?"
976What shall I do?
976What''s all this?
976What''s your name? 976 What, then, shall I do?"
976What,said Hecate,"the young man that always sits in the sunshine?
976Whence come you, strangers?
976Where are your two and twenty comrades?
976Where is Proserpina?
976Where is my child? 976 Where was the sound, and which way did it seem to go?"
976Whither are you going in such a hurry, wise Ulysses?
976Whither are you going, Jason?
976Who are you, I say?
976Who are you?
976Who are you?
976Why do you come alone?
976Why should you be so frightened, my pretty child?
976Will he give you the Golden Fleece, without any further risk or trouble?
976Will not you stay a moment,asked Phoebus,"and hear me turn the pretty and touching story of Proserpina into extemporary verses?"
976Will the dog bite me?
976Will you trust the child entirely to me?
976Young man,asked he, with his stern voice,"are you not appalled at the certainty of being devoured by this terrible Minotaur?"
976And do n''t you see how careful we are to let the surf wave break over us every moment or two, so as to keep ourselves comfortably moist?
976And what do you think the snowy bull did next?
976And what is the message which you bring?"
976And whence could this bull have come?
976And, indeed, why not?
976Are not these gems, which I have ordered to be dug for you, and which are richer than any in my crown-- are they not prettier than a violet?"
976Are you an enchantress?"
976Are you not terribly hungry?
976But how can you help me to do the things of which you speak?
976But to test how much you have profited under so excellent a teacher, will you allow me to ask you a single question?"
976But, a little farther on, what should she behold?
976But, by the by, have you added any more legends to the series, since the publication of the''Wonder- Book''?"
976Can you guess who I am?
976Can you tell me what has become of my dear child Proserpina?"
976Could you help smiling, Prince Jason, to see the self- conceit of that last fellow, just as he tumbled down?"
976Did the roots extend down into some enchanted cavern?
976Do n''t you see I''m sleepy?
976Do you imagine that earthly children are to become immortal without being tempered to it in the fiercest heat of the fire?
976Do you see that tall gateway before us?
976Do you see this splendid crown upon my head?
976Dost thou not tremble, wicked king, to turn thine eyes inward on thine own heart?
976How are you, my good fellow?"
976How was the blessed sunshine to be thrown into them?
976How were they to be purified?
976I wonder what the blacksmith charged him for a set of iron shoes?
976Instead of his ordinary milk diet, did he not eat up two of our comrades for his supper, and a couple more for breakfast, and two at his supper again?
976Is it because I too am a king, that you desire so earnestly to speak with me?
976Is it not possible, at the risk of one''s life, to slay him?"
976Is there nothing which I can get you to eat?"
976May I not run down to the shore, and ask some of the sea nymphs to come up out of the waves and play with me?"
976Now, who do you imagine these two voyagers turned out to be?
976Or is he afraid of wetting his fine golden- stringed sandals?
976Pray what may I call your name?
976Pray, how big may your soul be?"
976Pray, what would you advise me to do with him?"
976Proserpina, did you call her name?"
976Shall I never hear them again?
976Shall we not rather compel him to leave his bones here on our soil, by the side of our slain brother''s bones?
976Tell me, for pity''s sake, have you seen my poor child Proserpina pass by the mouth of your cavern?"
976Tell me, you naughty sea nymphs, have you enticed her under the sea?"
976The gentle and innocent creature( for who could possibly doubt that he was so?)
976This showed some intelligence in the oak; else how should it have known that any such person existed?
976Was Theseus afraid?
976Were we to drown the world with them, could the world blame us?
976What are all the splendors you speak of without affection?
976What are kings made for, save to succor the feeble and distressed?
976What can I do with him?"
976What can we do to drive them away?"
976What do you think of this, my brave Jason?"
976What does he mean to do?
976What harm can the lady of the palace and her maidens do to mariners and warriors like us?"
976What will the king say to the one- sandaled man?"
976Whence has he come?
976Where are you all?
976Why did not I think of him before?
976Why do you come hither?
976Will you go with me you go with me, Phoebus, to demand my daughter of this wicked Pluto?"
976Will you not like to ride a little way with me, in my beautiful chariot?"
976and where did you receive your education?"
976do you smell the feast?
976do you think me so?"
976he exclaimed:"how came you by it?"
976if the fathers and mothers were so small, what must the children and babies have been?
976nor taste those nice little savory dishes which my dearest wife knew how to serve up?"
976thought Cadmus;"or have I been dreaming all this while?"
976was there ever such a gentle, sweet, pretty, and amiable creature as this bull, and ever such a nice playmate for a little girl?
976you have been gathering flowers?
7372A married woman is no sister; nothing but a married woman till she becomes a mother; and then what shall I have to do with you?
7372Ah, is it so? 7372 Ah, yes; and you are not frightened at me?
7372Am I not your sister still, Septimius?
7372And I may say, Is it you? 7372 And after that another play- day?"
7372And as to its medical efficacy?
7372And have I convinced you of all this?
7372And how did you do that?
7372And shall I see you again?
7372And what do you want of him yourself, Septimius?
7372And what has been the history of the thing after his death?
7372And what is it?
7372And what is that?
7372And what shall that be?
7372And what will you do, Septimius?
7372And what would the people do who wish to fill our places? 7372 And you took it from him?"
7372And you want to know how I make it? 7372 Are they coming, then, Aunt Keziah?"
7372Are we friends?
7372Are you alone here? 7372 Are you going?"
7372Are you in search of flowers?
7372But who knows?
7372Can not I know it?
7372Can not you allow me that?
7372Canst thou not conceive that mortal brain and heart might at length be content to sleep?
7372Dear auntie, what can I do for you?
7372Did you like her?
7372Do I ever frighten you then, Rose?
7372Do I?
7372Do you call it hatred?
7372Do you find fault with Providence, Septimius?
7372Do you know the way, then?
7372Do you know this plant?
7372Do you know what you ask?
7372Do you really think the redcoats are coming? 7372 Do you remember any more of this?"
7372Do you see anything remarkable there?
7372Do you tell me,said he,"that the plant has been found indigenous in this country, and in your part of it?
7372Do you think God''s work is not to be done in the field as well as in the pulpit? 7372 Do you think it well to snatch this little lull that is allowed you in the wild striving of war to try to make a peaceful home?
7372Do you think so?
7372Do you, then, dwell hereabout?
7372Do your speculations take a scientific turn?
7372Dying, Aunt Keziah?
7372Flower, do you call it?
7372Forever?
7372Forever?
7372Good God, Sibyl, is this possible?
7372Have I not aided you, thought with you, encouraged you, heard all your wild ravings when you dared to tell no one else? 7372 Have you pursued this object so long,"said Sibyl,"to have these fears respecting it now?
7372Have you spoken with her?
7372Have you, sir?
7372Here, in secret?
7372How can you say so, Robert?
7372How can you tell that, Rose?
7372How is that?
7372How was it,said he,"that I can have been so untrue to my convictions?
7372I? 7372 Indeed, Aunt Keziah, is that so?"
7372Is it you?
7372Is that the drink of immortality?
7372Is there anything more that I can do for you?
7372Is this still so?
7372It is young, is it not? 7372 It looks like bloodroot, do n''t it?"
7372Let me run for the doctor,--for the neighbors? 7372 Mr. Septimius Felton, I suppose?"
7372No old furniture, desks, trunks, chests, cabinets?
7372Not at present, I thank you, Aunt Keziah,said Septimius, gravely;"but will you tell me what the ingredients are, and how you make it?"
7372Now,said Septimius, laughing again,"you shall have your choice, to be beaten on the spot, or suffer another kind of punishment,--which?"
7372O Aunt Keziah,said he, with a longing earnestness,"are you sure that you can not remember that one ingredient?"
7372Of whom do you speak?
7372Oh dear, what shall we do?
7372Poison, do you call it?
7372Seppy, you good- for- nothing, are you going to see me lying here, dying, without trying to do anything for me?
7372Septimius, how long do you wish to live?
7372Septimius, my young friend,said he,"are you yet ready to be a preacher of the truth?"
7372Septimius, who is this you have brought here?
7372Shall I send for the minister, Aunt Keziah?
7372Shall she do so?
7372Sibyl, what have you done?
7372Surely,said the maiden, with a look of surprise;"where else should I dwell?
7372Then the poor thing is crazy?
7372Then why not come with me?
7372Then why were you here with your gun amongst the shrubbery? 7372 Think what?"
7372Well, Septimius,said the minister, kindly,"have you yet come to any conclusion about the subject of which we have been talking?"
7372Well; but how did it come there? 7372 What can I do for you?"
7372What can I do,asked Septimius, gloomily,"what business take up, when the whole land lies waste and idle, except for this war?"
7372What could have been its motive? 7372 What flower do you speak of?"
7372What has come to Robert Hagburn?
7372What is the strange flower?
7372What use can one make of abortive thoughts?
7372When has Robert Hagburn been heard from?
7372Where did you get it, Robert?
7372Where is Robert Hagburn?
7372Where? 7372 Why do you talk such nonsense, Sibyl?"
7372Why hast thou spilt the drink?
7372Why should it be so cold?
7372Will you come with me to my residence at the foot of the hill, Doctor Portsoaken?
7372Will you not be weary in the time that we shall spend together?
7372Wo n''t you taste it, Seppy, my dear?
7372Yes,said Robert Hagburn;"but in hot blood, and for a good cause, who cares for death?
7372You are the uncle of Sibyl Dacy?
7372You meant, then, to take up with my hint of shooting at me from behind a hedge? 7372 Ah, is it surely so? 7372 Ah, what shall we do? 7372 Am I certainly not dreaming? 7372 Am I sure of it? 7372 And by what other strange chance had the document come into the hand of him who alone was fit to receive it? 7372 And could it be that poor Septimius was typified by the fascinated fly, doomed to be entangled by the web? 7372 And how has been my learned young friend Dr. Septimius,--for so he should be called,--and how have flourished his studies of late? 7372 And how is the old aunt yonder, with her infernal nostrum, the bitterness and nauseousness of which my poor stomach has not yet forgotten?
7372And how was it with Septimius?
7372And in what locality?"
7372And what matters a little tyranny in so short a life?
7372And who knows where it will end?"
7372And why, moreover, Septimius, did you listen so earnestly for any sound in Aunt Keziah''s chamber?
7372And you want to know what it is made of?
7372And you, Septimius?
7372Are you hurt?"
7372But first, child, tell me honestly, do you love this drink of mine?
7372But how did you come by it?"
7372But look, Septimius,--could it be worse than this?
7372But on what terms?
7372But what brings you to Boston?"
7372But why was he so pale?
7372But you are not going to the village, too, and leave us all alone?"
7372But, Septimius, what is this little hillock here so close to our path?
7372Can not you interest yourself in the state of this country, in this coming strife, the voice of which now sounds so hoarsely and so near us?
7372Can you read these old characters?"
7372Could he give them all up,--the sweet sister; the friend of his childhood; the grave instructor of his youth; the homely, life- known faces?
7372Could this be called life, which he was leading now?
7372Could you fetch me a drop of water?
7372Did I not take it very demurely, and answer thee in the same style?
7372Do n''t you think so?"
7372Do we exhaust it in our little life?
7372Do you feel no interest in such a prospect?"
7372Do you not feel it so?
7372Do you remember this broken miniature?
7372Does my face tell such stories?"
7372Does not thine?"
7372Does this look like it?"
7372Had he not time for waiting?
7372Had you not better take shelter in the village?"
7372Have you heaped it up here for a seat?
7372Have you no documents, I say, no muniment deed?"
7372How can I know my brethren, unless I do that once?
7372How else, in the infinite chances of human affairs, could the document have found its way to its destined possessor?
7372If this could not be, what should he do?
7372Is it not a lovely sight?"
7372Is it not well, therefore, that, sharing none of its pleasures and happiness, I should be free of its fatalities its brevity?
7372It had a queer taste, methought; or is it that my mouth is getting out of taste?
7372Might he not seek some one own friend-- one single heart-- before he took the final step?
7372Must I sweep you out with the broomstick?
7372No-- you will not?
7372No?
7372Shall I go for Rose?
7372Shall I make you a fresh pot of it?
7372Shall we talk of botany, the virtues of herbs?"
7372Shall you be as cheerful among dangers afterwards, when one sword may cut down two happinesses?"
7372Shall you like to be summoned from it soon?
7372So Septimius looked up out of his thoughts, and said proudly:"Why should I die?
7372So thou wilt not drink with me?"
7372Some have pretended to say that this appearance of blood was but dew; but can dew redden a cambric handkerchief?
7372Then why so ghastly pale?
7372Then why was he so pale?
7372This spider, now, is not he a lovely object?
7372Was Rose Garfield a deception too, with her daily beauty, and daily cheerfulness, and daily worth?
7372Was it merely dried leaves, the refuse of the forest, or something else?"
7372Was it not better worth his while to take this English position here so strangely offered him?
7372Was it you-- were they your features-- which that young soldier kissed as he lay dying?"
7372Well, no matter; whom could he have loved?
7372Well, what next?"
7372What can I do for you?
7372What could it do for him there,--this beautiful grace and elegance of feature,--where there was no form, nothing tangible nor visible?
7372What could you have put into it, Seppy, darling?
7372What icy hand had written, it, so that the heart was chilled out of the reader?
7372What if I should say this moment that I will not die, not till ages hence, not till the world is exhausted?
7372What if this shiver should last us through eternity?"
7372What matters a form of government for such ephemeral creatures?"
7372What news do you bring?
7372What next?"
7372What next?"
7372What shall we do?
7372What sort of manure had been put into that hillock?
7372What to do, if this be so?"
7372What was the harm of that?
7372What was the matter with this document, that the young man''s youth perished out of him as he read?
7372What''s that?
7372Whence came that dark and dull despair that weighed upon me?
7372Whence did it come?
7372Where will you bury me?"
7372Who should know, if not you?"
7372Why could not Septimius love too?
7372Why did I let the mocking mood which I was conscious of in that brutal, brandy- burnt sceptic have such an influence on me?
7372Why did you creep on tiptoe, once, twice, three times, up to the old woman''s chamber, and put your ear to the keyhole, and listen breathlessly?
7372Why does not the Black Man have the meeting at his own kitchen hearth?
7372Will it crimson the fingertips when you touch it?
7372Will not that be tiresome?"
7372Will you drink?"
7372Will you not tell me what it is?"
7372Would he venture onward into such a wintry futurity, symbolized, perhaps, by the coldness of the crystal goblet?
7372Would you like to hear it, Rose?"
7372You''ll die when your time comes; wo n''t you, Seppy, my darling?"
7372are you quite sure you remember how to make that precious drink?"
7372asked Septimius, with pale lips:"or did your fell purpose change?"
7372had she indeed?"
7372how can I expect anybody but myself to make this precious drink as it should be?"
7372kept up your hopes; suggested; helped you with my legendary lore to useful hints; helped you, also, in other ways, which you do not suspect?
7372or call a neighbor in?
7372or the doctor?"
7372said she;"if my drink could not save me, what would a doctor''s foolish pills and powders do?
7372what are you doing here?"
7372what do you tell me?
7372whispered Rose,"why should we shoot these men, or they us?
7372would you wish to see the features that were destroyed when that bullet passed?
7372you have seen that, have you?"
512A private entrance into Dr. Rappaccini''s garden?
512Ah, and is that the rub?
512Ah, forsooth, and is it your worship indeed?
512Ah,exclaimed Owen, who had drank freely,"are you alive again, child of the sun and playmate of the summer breeze, after your dismal winter''s nap?
512Alive? 512 Alive?
512All pure and wholesome? 512 Am I awake?
512And because you have been a father to me, should I therefore leave you to perish and to lie unburied in the wilderness?
512And did you return in time to save him?
512And is it lawful, now, to inquire what the secret is?
512And must I believe all that I have seen with my own eyes?
512And what are they?
512And what else?
512And what if he should hear me?
512And what is this?
512And what one is that?
512And what says Miss Annie to that doctrine? 512 And what was that?"
512And will you,said he to the carver,"permit this masterpiece to become the figure- head of a vessel?
512And yet, worshipful professor, is it not a noble spirit? 512 And you did dream of it?"
512And your daughter,--how shall I dare to meet her eye?
512Are there such idle rumors?
512Are you in the garden?
512Aylmer, are you in earnest?
512Beatrice,asked he, abruptly,"whence came this shrub?"
512Beyond a doubt the directors have engaged that famous old champion to be chief conductor on the railroad?
512But how is your own breast?
512But is it alive?
512But what is this?
512But what then? 512 But what was his origin?"
512But where is Faith?
512But why conceal those imperfections?
512But, my good Mr. Take- it- easy,cried I,"why take up your residence here, of all places in the world?"
512By the by,said the professor, looking uneasily about him,"what singular fragrance is this in your apartment?
512Can this be so?
512Danger? 512 Did the girl scorn my precious one?"
512Did yonder sniffling hypocrite thrust my darling from his door? 512 Did you not start,"said I,"for the Celestial City?"
512Did you take counsel with him this morning when you should have been saying your prayers? 512 Do my eyes deceive me?"
512Do n''t you go over to the Celestial City?
512Do n''t you know Apollyon, Christian''s old enemy, with whom he fought so fierce a battle in the Valley of Humiliation? 512 Do people say that I am skilled in my father''s science of plants?
512Do you know me, George Herkimer?
512Do you remember, my dear Aylmer,said she, with a feeble attempt at a smile,"have you any recollection of a dream last night about this odious hand?"
512Do you see it?--do you see it?
512Do you see the star at his breast?
512Does not your worship see that I am in haste?
512Does this garden belong to the house?
512Dost thou pretend ignorance?
512Georgiana,said he,"has it never occurred to you that the mark upon your cheek might be removed?"
512Giovanni,said Beatrice, calmly, for her grief was beyond passion,"why dost thou join thyself with me thus in those terrible words?
512Has he ever seen your face before?
512Has my friend Giovanni any disease of body or heart, that he is so inquisitive about physicians?
512Hast thou grown so poisonous that this deadly insect perishes by thy breath?
512Have you forgotten me? 512 How is this, Reuben?
512How otherwise should this carver feel himself entitled to transcend all rules, and make me ashamed of quoting them?
512I wonder whether it would condescend to alight on such a great clumsy finger as mine? 512 Is it alive?
512Is it alive?
512Is it possible that you view that affair in an objectionable light? 512 Is it with this lotion that you intend to bathe my cheek?"
512Is that,inquired I,"the very door in the hill- side which the shepherds assured Christian was a by- way to hell?"
512Mrs. Bullfrog, upon your honor,demanded I, as if my life hung upon her words,"is there no mistake about those five thousand dollars?"
512My father, Reuben?
512Now, my love, are not you a most unreasonable little man?
512Ought a woman to disclose her frailties earlier than the wedding day? 512 Poor?
512Sayest thou so?
512Sir,inquired he, with a sad, yet mild and kindly voice,"do you call yourself a pilgrim?"
512The perpetual motion? 512 The same?"
512Then Goody Cloyse knows her old friend?
512Then why did you take me from my mother''s side? 512 Thou canst speak, darling, canst thou?"
512Thou,--dost thou pray?
512Was ever so original and exquisite a compliment?
512Was it a hard doom?
512Well, Owen,inquired the old watchmaker, as his first greeting,"how comes on the beautiful?
512Well, but, Owen, what are you about?
512Were your situation mine, would you desert me while life remained?
512What God doth the wizard pray to?
512What bosom serpent has the sharpest sting?
512What can Owen Warland be about?
512What can the fellow be about? 512 What did he say in that sharp voice?"
512What do you say?
512What has befallen me?
512What has come over you? 512 What has gone wrong?"
512What have we here? 512 What is here?
512What is this being? 512 What mean you, Beatrice?"
512What mean you, foolish girl? 512 What''s this, my dear?"
512Whence came this strange calamity?
512Where am I? 512 Where am I?
512Where did you get that idea, Annie?
512Where is the police?
512Wherefore ask who created it, so it be beautiful?
512Who do you mean? 512 Why did you hesitate to tell me this?"
512Why do you come hither? 512 Why do you keep such a terrific drug?"
512Why is this lunatic allowed to go at large?
512Why lurkest thou in the corner, lazy one?
512Why need you ask?
512Will you make a fool of me?
512Would I not? 512 Would you throw the blight of that fatal birthmark over my labors?
512You dug a grave for my poor father in the wilderness, Reuben?
512A living creature?
512Alive?
512And is it so?"
512And the Signora Beatrice,--what part does she act in this mystery?"
512And this man, with such a perception of harm in what his own hands caused to grow,--was he the Adam?
512And what effect could be anticipated from such unsubstantial stuff?"
512And which of these designs do you prefer?
512And why should my poor puppet be the only one to know himself and perish for it?"
512Are there many men capable of so spiritual a love of science?"
512Art thou of the brotherhood of the empty skull, and demandest of me what thou shalt say?
512Beautiful shall I call her, or inexpressibly terrible?"
512Bless my wits, what is the matter with me?"
512But I trust you do not mean to desecrate this exquisite creature with paint, like those staring kings and admirals yonder?"
512But by what conveyance, think you, can his lordship have voyaged or travelled hither?
512But come, will you mend this poor thimble of mine?"
512But how is this?
512But such must have been Reuben''s own fate had he tarried another sunset; and who shall impute blame to him if he shrink from so useless a sacrifice?
512But what is this cloud of pale- cheeked, slender girls, who disturb the ear with the multiplicity of their short, dry coughs?
512But what then?
512But, were I to go on with thee, how should I meet the eye of that good old man, our minister, at Salem village?
512Can a breast, where it has dwelt so long, be purified?"
512Can it have been my work?
512Can not you remove this little, little mark, which I cover with the tips of two small fingers?
512Could it be Beatrice''s breath which thus embalmed her words with a strange richness, as if by steeping them in her heart?
512Did he caper for joy, when you remembered the profligacy of his only son?
512Did he sting, when you thought of your brother''s health, wealth, and good repute?
512Did it contain water, reddened by the lurid light?
512Did not I make thee?
512Did you ever hear of a blacksmith being such a fool as Owen Warland yonder?"
512Dim and faded did you call him?
512Do you find this old mansion gloomy?
512Does it gnaw you?"
512Does none answer to the call?
512Greatheart?"
512Had Goodman Brown fallen asleep in the forest and only dreamed a wild dream of a witch- meeting?
512Had I taken that very fairy to be the wife of my bosom?
512Had a sudden weariness overcome the youthful hunter?
512Have I my senses?"
512Have you created it at last?"
512Have you no trust in your husband?"
512Have you slain the deer and fallen asleep over him?"
512Have you succeeded in creating the beautiful?"
512How comes on the beautiful?
512How is it that, possessing the idea which you have now uttered, you should produce only such works as these?"
512I would fain speak; but being without wits, what can I say?"
512If they should be cruel to one another, who was there to be kind to them?
512Is it alive?"
512Is it an objection that I have triumphantly defended myself against slander and vindicated my purity in a court of justice?
512Is it so unusual a misfortune, so rare a triumph?
512Is it the perfume of your gloves?
512Is not that the truth?"
512Is not this a marvellous tale?"
512Is this beyond your power, for the sake of your own peace, and to save your poor wife from madness?"
512Must I tell her that he travelled three days''march with me from the field of battle and that then I left him to perish in the wilderness?
512No reptile there?
512Oh, was there not, from the first, more poison in thy nature than in mine?"
512Oh, what is death after such words as thine?
512Or do you complain because your wife has shown the proper spirit of a woman, and punished the villain who trifled with her affections?"
512Or, if you prefer a female figure, what say you to Britannia with the trident?"
512Ought not, then, the desert of humanity around them to press this insulated pair closer together?
512Roderick, amidst the throng of the street, laid his hand on this man''s chest, and looking full into his forbidding face,"How is the snake to- day?"
512Shall I confess the truth?
512Shall I exorcise him?"
512Shall we bid the trumpet sound again?
512Shall we not quaff it together, and thus be purified from evil?"
512Should you meet one of these and guide them hither, who can tell but that I may sit by my own fireside again?"
512Tell me, Roderick Elliston, is there any remedy for this loathsome evil?"
512Then, would he add another verse to any strain that he had left unfinished here?
512Think you that my last moments will be eased by the thought that I leave you to die a more lingering death?
512Was it his mother?
512Was it merely the tooth of physical disease?
512Was it sorrow?
512Was this garden, then, the Eden of the present world?
512Well, what did you expect?
512Were it not better to lie down and die by your side than to return safe and say this to Dorcas?"
512What class is next to take its place in the procession of mortal life?
512What could it be that gnawed him?
512What could it be that gnawed the breast of Roderick Elliston?
512What could the witch expect?
512What has befallen you?
512What have I done?"
512What if I should let him take his chance among the other men of straw and empty fellows who go bustling about the world?"
512What inspired hand is beckoning this wood to arise and live?
512What say you, daughter Annie?"
512What shall be their principle of union?
512What were the recollections now breaking upon him?
512What would you?"
512What, my sweet, pretty wife, dost thou doubt me already, and we but three months married?"
512What, then, will be your fate?
512Where did I leave him?"
512Where shall I find a name vile enough to call thee by?
512Whither am I wandering?
512Whither, then, could these holy men be journeying so deep into the heathen wilderness?
512Who could the phantom be?
512Who else could assume the guidance of a procession that comprehends all humanity?
512Who has done this?"
512Whom shall we choose for his companion?
512Whose guilt had blasted it?
512Whose skeleton is out of its grave now, I wonder?"
512Whose work is this?"
512Why do I find you thus?"
512Why tarriest thou?
512Why tarriest thou?
512Would his mother''s voice arouse him?
512Wouldst thou, then, have preferred the condition of a weak woman, exposed to all evil and capable of none?"
512and shall his son pass me like a stranger in these old streets of Padua?
512did I grow up side by side with your father?
512do n''t you know that my daughter Annie is engaged to Robert Danforth?
512exclaimed the brother hater--"what do you mean?"
512or was it blood?
512or, perchance, a liquid flame?
512replied her husband"But why do we speak of dying?
512thought the old witch,"what step is that?
2081A very great favor, do you say? 2081 A very great one?"
2081Again, what is the matter?
2081And at this very instant you feel her to be your dearest friend?
2081And by which of my qualities,inquired he,"can you suppose me fitted for this awful ministry?"
2081And how have you prevailed with such a woman to work in this squalid element?
2081And how is it with you?
2081And of what nature?
2081And on the whole, which of the two characters do you like best?
2081And so you think she''s drowned herself?
2081And what is that?
2081And what is your answer now?
2081And what was your purpose?
2081And why not?
2081And you will not join me?
2081Angry with you, child? 2081 Are you angry with me?"
2081Are you deserting us?
2081As for the present moment, if we could look into the hearts where we wish to be most valued, what should you expect to see? 2081 But how can there possibly be any interest or connecting link between him and her?"
2081But how can you be my life- long friend, except you strive with me towards the great object of my life?
2081But how if she were sixty, and a fright?
2081But she loves you now, of course?
2081But,said I,"whence can you, having no means of your own, derive the enormous capital which is essential to this experiment?
2081Can I do you any service?
2081Can not we soften it a little?
2081Can you tell me,I inquired,"what families reside in any of those houses opposite?"
2081Despise her? 2081 Did I call you hither from among the masqueraders yonder?
2081Did you bring Priscilla with you?
2081Did you come away of your own free will?
2081Do not you need this?
2081Do you despise woman?
2081Do you know Hollingsworth personally?
2081Do you love her?
2081Does Hollingsworth know that you are here?
2081Does she love her?
2081Does that fact lessen my availability for your purpose?
2081Dost thou hesitate,said the Veiled Lady,"to pledge thyself to me, by meeting these lips of mine, while the veil yet hides my face?
2081Has my pale little girl a bloom?
2081Has there been any call for Priscilla?
2081Have not you learnt as much from your chamber window? 2081 Have we our various parts assigned?"
2081Have you any objection,said I,"to telling me who made those little purses?"
2081Have you anything to ask of this lady?
2081Have you bewitched her?
2081Have you given up Blithedale forever?
2081Have you learned anything of his history?
2081Have you none to care for you?
2081Have you nothing dismal to remember?
2081Have you nothing to do in life,asked Hollingsworth,"that you fancy yourself so ready to leave it?"
2081Have you seen Zenobia,said I,"since you parted from her at Eliot''s pulpit?"
2081How can you decide upon her so easily?
2081How could I possibly make myself resemble this lady merely by holding her letter in my hand?
2081How do you find yourself, my love?
2081How is it possible to doubt that, Priscilla?
2081I wonder, sir,said he,"whether you know a lady whom they call Zenobia?"
2081I would first inquire whether you have supposed me to be wealthy?
2081Is Zenobia to take a part in your enterprise?
2081Is it all true, that Mr. Coverdale and Zenobia have been saying?
2081Is it irksome to you to hear your own verses sung?
2081Is it wise to go, and is it your choice to go?
2081Is it you, Coverdale?
2081Is it you, Miles Coverdale?
2081Is not she worth a verse or two?
2081Is not that a little more than you are entitled to inquire?
2081Is she crazy? 2081 Is this true?"
2081It is genuine tragedy, is it not?
2081Like a gentlewoman and her maid- servant, I fancy?
2081Mr. Coverdale,said he softly,"can I speak with you a moment?"
2081Mr. Moodie,said I,"do you remember selling me one of those very pretty little silk purses, of which you seem to have a monopoly in the market?
2081Mr. Moodie,said I,"shall we lunch together?
2081No daughter?--no kind- hearted neighbor?--no means of procuring the attendance which you need? 2081 Priscilla,"I inquired, lowering my voice,"when do you go back to Blithedale?"
2081Priscilla,I inquired,"did you ever see Miss Margaret Fuller?"
2081Priscilla,said I, in the hearing of them all,"do you know whither you are going?"
2081Shall I find you here, on my return?
2081True,--what is it?
2081Up to this moment,I inquired,"how many criminals have you reformed?"
2081Well, boys,cried he peevishly,"what is to pay now?"
2081Well, folks, what are ye about here?
2081What I desire to know of you is,--and you can tell me in one word,--whether I am to look for your cooperation in this great scheme of good? 2081 What can be the reason?
2081What do you think of her?
2081What do you want with me?
2081What does he say?
2081What does the fact mean? 2081 What does the girl mean?"
2081What have I done? 2081 What have they to do with the proposal which I make you?
2081What is the matter now?
2081What is the matter?
2081What is the message?
2081What is the use or sense of being so very gay?
2081What is there further to be said between us?
2081What is to become of Priscilla?
2081What matter of ridicule do you find in this, Miles Coverdale?
2081What now?
2081What on earth should the young woman do that for?
2081What shall it be, Zenobia?
2081What wouldst thou with me?
2081What''s in the wind now, Miles?
2081What, then, is your own view of it?
2081Whither?
2081Who are you,I exclaimed indignantly,"that dare to speak thus of the dead?
2081Who is that laughing?
2081Who is this?
2081Who? 2081 Why are you so secret in your operations?"
2081Why did not the Frenchman make punch of it at once?
2081Why do you ask me that question?
2081Why do you bring in the names of these women?
2081Why do you bring up his name at every turn?
2081Why do you call me a dream? 2081 Why do you trouble him with needless questions, Coverdale?"
2081Why not fling the girl off,said Westervelt,"and let her go?"
2081Why should you think so?
2081Why so?
2081Will you give me that purse, Priscilla,said I,"as a parting keepsake?"
2081Will you give me the letter, Priscilla?
2081With what kind of a being am I linked?
2081You require charity, perhaps? 2081 Zenobia, whither are you going?"
2081A moral?
2081Above all, was it better to have a fever and die blaspheming, as I was like to do?
2081And am I just to her, in surrendering all to this beautiful Zenobia?
2081And did she fling herself along with it?
2081And if so, did the Veiled Lady seek or did she shun him?
2081And is she happy?"
2081And on what conditions was it to be had?
2081And so, my good friend, you have come to see her?
2081And what more do you want of it?
2081And what of that?
2081And what right has he to be the driver?
2081And what subjects had been discussed here?
2081And why, being now free, should I take this thraldom on me once again?
2081And why, when there is enough else to do, should we waste our strength in dragging home the ponderous load of his philanthropic absurdities?
2081And would you like to drink a glass of wine?"
2081And, in either case, will it be possible ever to redeem them?"
2081Are there any figs ripe, do you think?
2081Are they not warm with the beacon- fire which we have kindled for humanity?"
2081Are you a man?
2081But are we his oxen?
2081But have you a literary turn, Mr. Moodie?
2081But how is it with you?
2081But is there not something very characteristic of his nation in Fourier''s manner of putting forth his views?
2081But was it a vision that I had witnessed in the wood?
2081But what can this business be, Mr. Moodie?
2081But what was rank to the colonists of Blithedale?"
2081But what, after all, have I to tell?
2081But what, in good sooth, had become of the Veiled Lady?
2081But, indeed, what could mortal do for her?
2081By the bye, has Hollingsworth ever seen her in this dress?"
2081Can I be of any service to you before my departure?"
2081Can it be you, sir, who thus summoned me?"
2081Can it be, Zenobia, that you ever really numbered yourself with our little band of earnest, thoughtful, philanthropic laborers?"
2081Can you bear with me, if such should prove to be the case?"
2081Can you imagine what is the matter with her?"
2081Could it be that a subtile presentiment had informed her of the young man''s presence?
2081Could you possibly afford me the means of speaking with her?"
2081Could you?"
2081Coverdale!--is it not so?
2081Coverdale?"
2081Coverdale?"
2081Did she fling it into the scheme with the uncalculating generosity that characterizes a woman when it is her impulse to be generous at all?
2081Did you ever see a happy woman in your life?
2081Do I assume to be your judge?
2081Do n''t you mean to get up to- day?"
2081Do we dream the same dream twice?
2081Do you feel suddenly ill?
2081Do you forgive me?"
2081Do you know such a person?"
2081Do you know, Mr. Coverdale, I have been on trial for my life?"
2081Do you know, Mr. Coverdale, that I have been several times on the point of making you my confidant, for lack of a better and wiser one?
2081Do you love this girl?"
2081Do you seriously imagine that any such realities as you, and many others here, have dreamed of, will ever be brought to pass?"
2081Do you suppose he will be content to spend his life, or even a few months of it, among tolerably virtuous and comfortable individuals like ourselves?"
2081Dost thou come hither, not in holy faith, nor with a pure and generous purpose, but in scornful scepticism and idle curiosity?
2081For instance:--"Which man among you,"quoth he,"is the best judge of swine?
2081For, was mine a mere vulgar curiosity?
2081Had all her existence been comprehended within that mysterious veil, and was she now annihilated?
2081Had it never failed her before?
2081Has not thy heart recognized me?
2081Has she no tongue?"
2081Have I not said enough, Zenobia?"
2081Have the pineapples been gathered to- day?
2081Have you any impressions of this nature?"
2081Here,"he added, addressing Hollingsworth,"would you like to keep the shoe?"
2081How can I be dismal, if my heart will not let me?"
2081How do you mean to manage this business?"
2081How else be inspired to say his prayers?
2081How else could he be imbued with energy enough to hope for a happier state hereafter?
2081How should she?"
2081In what attitude did Zenobia present herself to Hollingsworth?
2081Is it finished yet?"
2081Is it their nature?
2081Is she a protegee of yours?
2081Looks this like ostentation?
2081Miles Coverdale, where are you?"
2081No sooner did I behold the bearded enchanter, than, laying my hand again on Hollingsworth''s shoulder, I whispered in his ear,"Do you know him?"
2081One evening, months after Priscilla''s departure, when Moodie( or shall we call him Fauntleroy?)
2081One''s own likeness, in the innermost, holiest niche?
2081Or is it, at last, the result of ages of compelled degradation?
2081Or, supposing them to bear sterling weight, was it a perilous and dreadful wrong which she was meditating towards herself and Hollingsworth?
2081Put passionate warmth into his heart, when it shall be chilled with frozen hopes?
2081Shall I reveal it?
2081Shall I run out and pluck you some roses?
2081Strengthen his hands, when they are weary with much doing and no performance?
2081Tell me fairly,--did you never drink it where the grape grows?"
2081Tell me once again, can I do nothing for you?"
2081The melancholy Jacques, perhaps?
2081To be sure, there are more to be had; but who cares about making a new set of friends, even should they be better than those around us?"
2081Was Westervelt a goblin?
2081Were they formed of a material lighter than common air?
2081Were those words of passion and agony, which Zenobia had uttered in my hearing, a mere stage declamation?
2081What are ye about, now?
2081What are you seeking to discover in me?"
2081What can I do for her?"
2081What can Priscilla do for him?
2081What can you say to that?"
2081What charm was there in his rude massiveness that so attracted and soothed this shadow- like girl?
2081What else could possibly be done for him?
2081What girl had ever laughed as Zenobia did?
2081What girl had ever spoken in her mellow tones?
2081What had I ever had to do with them?
2081What had I to offer him?
2081What had become of her?
2081What is its use, except to fling a golden radiance around those who grasp it?
2081What is your name?"
2081What on earth do you want more?
2081What retribution is there here?
2081What will you do, Priscilla, when you find no spark among the ashes?"
2081What, in the name of common- sense, had I to do with any better society than I had always lived in?
2081What, then, had become of all the fraternity and sisterhood?
2081Where will he find it now?"
2081Why could not she have allowed one of the other women to take the gruel in charge?
2081Why should he seek me?
2081Why should we be content with our homely life of a few months past, to the exclusion of all other modes?
2081Why, then, does he not come forward to defend her character, unless he is conscious that an investigation would only make the matter worse?"
2081Will not Nature shed a tear?
2081Will you devote yourself, and sacrifice all to this great end, and be my friend of friends forever?"
2081Will you tell me what I can do for you?"
2081Would it not be well, even before we have absolute need of it, to fix upon a spot for a cemetery?
2081Would my friends like to know what brought it thither?
2081Would you like a bread- fruit, or a cocoanut?
2081Would you like to see her?"
2081are you there, Miles Coverdale?
2081do we part so?"
2081had we come out from among the swinish multitude for this?
2081or have you taken up the advocacy of women''s rights?
2081or what else can have interested you in this lady?
2081where have you left Zenobia?"
33, said he;is it thou?
33Am I mad? 33 And I!--how am I to live longer, breathing the same air with this deadly enemy?"
33And about what?
33And now what wouldst thou with me touching this man?
33And what am I now?
33And what of him?
33And what other time?
33And what reason is that?
33And wherefore?
33And why not, mother?
33And will he always keep his hand over his heart?
33And will he hold out both his hands to me, as when thou ledst me to him from the brook- side?
33And will the minister be there?
33Art thou like the Black Man that haunts the forest round about us? 33 Art thou my child, in very truth?"
33Ay-- how is that, good Master Dimmesdale?
33Better? 33 But did your reverence hear of the portent that was seen last night?
33But how to avoid it? 33 But where is this mother of thine?
33But wilt thou promise,asked Pearl,"to take my hand, and mother''s hand, to- morrow noontide?"
33Child, what art thou?
33Didst thou ever awake and find thy mother gone?
33Do I feel joy again?
33Do you see that woman with the embroidered badge?
33Dost thou know me so little, Hester Prynne? 33 Dost thou know thy mother now, child?
33Dost thou know, child, wherefore thy mother wears this letter?
33Dost thou mock me now?
33Dost thou not think her beautiful? 33 Dost thou remember me, Hester, as I was nine years agone?
33Dost thou think I have been to the forest so many times, and have yet no skill to judge who else has been there? 33 Dost thou think the child will be glad to know me?"
33Doth he love us?
33Doth the universe lie within the compass of yonder town, which only a little time ago was but a leaf- strewn desert, as lonely as this around us? 33 Has he not paid thee all?"
33Hast thou not tortured him enough?
33Hast thou seen it?
33Hast thou?
33Have you another passenger?
33Hester,said he,"hast thou found peace?"
33How can you question it?
33How knewest thou that I was here?
33I wonder if mother will ask me what it means?
33Is it the Black Man?
33Is not this better,murmured he,"than what we dreamed of in the forest?"
33Is the world, then, so narrow?
33Is the worshipful Governor Bellingham within?
33Mother,said she,"what does the scarlet letter mean?"
33Never, sayest thou?
33Now, what mortal imagination could conceive it?
33Sayest thou so?
33Shall we not meet again?
33Shall we not spend our immortal life together? 33 Tell me, then, what thou art, and who sent thee hither?"
33Then why not reveal it here?
33This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die; is there not law for it? 33 Thou wilt not reveal his name?
33Thy mother is yonder woman with the scarlet letter,said the seaman,"Wilt thou carry her a message from me?"
33Welcome home, reverend sir,said the physician"And how found you that godly man, the Apostle Eliot?
33Were it not better,said he,"that you use my poor skill tonight?
33What choice had you?
33What do we talk of marks and brands, whether on the bodice of her gown or the flesh of her forehead?
33What does the letter mean, mother? 33 What does this sad little brook say, mother?"
33What else could I look for, being what I am, and leading such a life as mine? 33 What evil have I done the man?"
33What evil thing is at hand?
33What has the letter to do with any heart save mine?
33What have we here?
33What have you to do with us?
33What is he?
33What is it that haunts and tempts me thus?
33What is it, good Mistress Hibbins?
33What little bird of scarlet plumage may this be? 33 What mean you?"
33What say you, worshipful Master Bellingham? 33 What see you in my face,"asked the physician,"that you look at it so earnestly?"
33What sent you hither?
33What shall I say?
33What should ail me to harm this misbegotten and miserable babe? 33 What should he say, Pearl,"answered Hester,"save that it was no time to kiss, and that kisses are not to be given in the market- place?
33What wouldst thou say, child?
33Whence come you, Hester?
33Wherefore dost thou desire it?
33Wherefore have all the people left their work to- day? 33 Who is he?
33Who is that man, Hester?
33Who speaks?
33Why dost thou smile so at me?
33Why doth the minister sit yonder?
33Why not announce thyself openly, and cast me off at once?
33Why should not the guilty ones sooner avail themselves of this unutterable solace?
33Why, know you not,cried the shipmaster,"that this physician here-- Chillingworth he calls himself-- is minded to try my cabin- fare with you?
33Why, what is this, mother?
33Will he go back with us, hand in hand, we three together, into the town?
33Will not it come of its own accord when I am a woman grown?
33Wilt thou come across the brook, and own thy mother, now that she has her shame upon her-- now that she is sad?
33Wilt thou die for very weakness? 33 Wilt thou go and play, child?"
33Wilt thou go with us to- night? 33 Wilt thou let me be at peace, if I once tell thee?"
33Wilt thou not frown? 33 Wilt thou stand here with mother and me, to- morrow noontide?"
33Wilt thou yet forgive me?
33Wouldst thou avenge thyself on the innocent babe?
33Yes, mother,answered Pearl,"But if it be the Black Man, wilt thou not let me stay a moment, and look at him, with his big book under his arm?"
33You would tell me, then, that I know all?
33( Had Hester sinned alone?)
33And didst thou ever meet him?
33And does he now summon me to its fulfilment, by suggesting the performance of every wickedness which his most foul imagination can conceive?"
33And dost thou go to meet him in the nighttime?"
33And is this his mark?"
33And thou, Arthur Dimmesdale, dost thou yet live?"
33And was this the man?
33And what hast thou to do with all these iron men, and their opinions?
33And wherefore should it not bring you peace?"
33And whither was he now going?
33And, moreover, is there not a quality of awful sacredness in the relation between this mother and this child?"
33Are my purposes wo nt to be so shallow?
33Are you there?"
33Art thou a Christian child-- ha?
33Art thou in life?"
33Art thou not afraid of nightmares and hideous dreams?"
33But dost thou know, my child, what this letter means which thy mother is doomed to wear?"
33But how gat such a guest into my hall?"
33But how?
33But now thou wilt?"
33But now-- since I am irrevocably doomed-- wherefore should I not snatch the solace allowed to the condemned culprit before his execution?
33But where was his mind?
33But where was little Pearl?
33But who art thou, that meddlest in this matter?
33But who can see an inch into futurity beyond his nose?
33But why does he not wear it outside his bosom, as thou dost, mother?"
33Canst thou do nothing for me?
33Canst thou tell me, my child, who made thee?"
33Could it be true?
33Could there be plainer speech than this?
33Couldst thou surely tell, Hester, whether he was the same man that encountered thee on the forest path?"
33Did I make a contract with him in the forest, and sign it with my blood?
33Did he wish to die?
33Did the sun, which shone so brightly everywhere else, really fall upon him?
33Didst thou ever meet the Black Man, mother?"
33Dost know thy catechism?
33Dost thou know the man?
33Dost thou not see what I would say?
33Dost thou remember me?
33Doth this bring thee no comfort?"
33Doth thy sentence bind thee to wear the token in thy sleep?
33Ha, Hester Prynne?"
33Had Mr. Dimmesdale actually spoken?
33Had seven long years, under the torture of the scarlet letter, inflicted so much of misery and wrought out no repentance?
33Hast thou enticed me into a bond that will prove the ruin of my soul?"
33Hast thou exhausted possibility in the failure of this one trial?
33Hast thou forgotten it?"
33Hath he not pleaded well for the poor woman?"
33Hath she affections?
33Hath she any discoverable principle of being?"
33Hath she not expressed this thought in the garb of the poor child, so forcibly reminding us of that red symbol which sears her bosom?"
33How can it be otherwise?
33How fared it with him, then?
33How is it, Hester?
33How may this be unless you first lay open to him the wound or trouble in your soul?"
33Is Hester Prynne the less miserable, think you, for that scarlet letter on her breast?"
33Is it a play- day for the whole world?
33Is it because, when the minister wrote his name in the book, the Black Man set his mark in that place?
33Is it true, mother?
33Is the imp altogether evil?
33Is there no reality in the penitence thus sealed and witnessed by good works?
33Is there not shade enough in all this boundless forest to hide thy heart from the gaze of Roger Chillingworth?"
33Is there such a Black Man?
33Must I sink down there, and die at once?"
33Must it be thou, or I, that shall deal with this poor sinner''s soul?"
33O Thou to whom I dare not lift mine eyes, wilt Thou yet pardon me?"
33Or art thou one of those naughty elfs or fairies whom we thought to have left behind us, with other relics of Papistry, in merry old England?"
33Or is she an elfish spirit, who, as the legends of our childhood taught us, is forbidden to cross a running stream?
33Or might it suffice him that every wholesome growth should be converted into something deleterious and malignant at his touch?
33Or was there, as it rather seemed, a circle of ominous shadow moving along with his deformity whichever way he turned himself?
33Or would he spread bat''s wings and flee away, looking so much the uglier the higher he rose towards heaven?
33Or, if not, thou strange and elfish child, whence didst thou come?"
33Or, must she receive those intimations-- so obscure, yet so distinct-- as truth?
33Prithee, young one, who art thou, and what has ailed thy mother to bedizen thee in this strange fashion?
33See ye not, she is the scarlet letter, only capable of being loved, and so endowed with a millionfold the power of retribution for my sin?
33Shall I lie down again on these withered leaves, where I cast myself when thou didst tell me what he was?
33So thou thinkest the child will love me?"
33That unsunned snow in the matron''s bosom, and the burning shame on Hester Prynne''s-- what had the two in common?
33Then she spoke aloud--"Silly Pearl,"said she,"what questions are these?
33Then what was he?--a substance?--or the dimmest of all shadows?
33Thou wilt love him-- wilt thou not?"
33Was I not all this?"
33Was existence worth accepting even to the happiest among them?
33Was he weary of his labours?
33Was it but the mockery of penitence?
33Was not the secret told me, in the natural recoil of my heart at the first sight of him, and as often as I have seen him since?
33Were such a man once more to fall, what plea could be urged in extenuation of his crime?
33Were there not the brilliant particles of a halo in the air about his head?
33What can a ruined soul like mine effect towards the redemption of other souls?--or a polluted soul towards their purification?
33What can thy silence do for him, except it tempt him-- yea, compel him, as it were-- to add hypocrisy to sin?
33What canst thou do for the child in this kind?"
33What choice remains to me?
33What did it betoken?
33What have they all come to do, here in the market- place?"
33What is that the minister seeks to hide, with his hand always over his heart?
33What kind of business in life-- what mode of glorifying God, or being serviceable to mankind in his day and generation-- may that be?
33What know I of the minister''s heart?
33What mean you?"
33What say you to it, once again, brother Dimmesdale?
33What sayest thou?"
33What think ye, gossips?
33What was it?
33What were they?
33What will now be the course of his revenge?"
33What would the minister have said, mother?
33What, could he, whose sphere was in great cities, be seeking in the wilderness?
33What, in heaven''s name, is she?
33When hast thou been so sluggish before now?
33When the whole had gone by, she looked up into Hester''s face--"Mother,"said she,"was that the same minister that kissed me by the brook?"
33Where are you?"
33Wherefore should we linger upon it now?
33Whither leads yonder forest- track?
33Who is he?
33Who is he?"
33Who made me so?"
33Whom would they discern there, with the red eastern light upon his brow?
33Why did I not understand?
33Why did we not find it sooner?"
33Why does he do so, mother?"
33Why hast thou not avenged thyself on me?"
33Why shouldst thou tarry so much as one other day in the torments that have so gnawed into thy life?
33Why, then, had he come hither?
33Why, with such rank in the learned world, had he come hither?
33Will he continue, then, to keep our secret?
33Will not my aid be requisite to put you in heart and strength to preach your Election Sermon?"
33Wilt thou forgive?"
33Wilt thou give up that only privilege?
33Wilt thou not love him?
33Wilt thou reject that priceless benefit?"
33Wilt thou ride with me some fine night to see thy father?
33Wilt thou tell her this, thou witch- baby?"
33Wilt thou yet purge it out of thee, and be once more human?
33Would he arouse him with a throb of agony?
33Would he have clapped his hand over his heart, and scowled on me, and bid me begone?"
33Would he startle him with sudden fear?
33Would not the people start up in their seats, by a simultaneous impulse, and tear him down out of the pulpit which he defiled?
33Would you bring infamy on your sacred profession?"
33Would you, therefore, that your physician heal the bodily evil?
33and is it Mistress Hester that has a word for old Roger Chillingworth?"
33and why does the minister keep his hand over his heart?"
33and why dost thou wear it?
33can this be you?
33cried Pearl, after listening awhile to its talk,"Why art thou so sad?
33exclaimed a man in the crowd,"is there no virtue in woman, save what springs from a wholesome fear of the gallows?
33or am I given over utterly to the fiend?
33that dares thrust himself between the sufferer and his God?"
33that have made thee feeble to will and to do?
33that will leave thee powerless even to repent?
33what is your purpose?"
33what right had infirmity like his to burden itself with crime?
33why dost thou not come to me?"
35377And can I assist your Majesty in obtaining it?
35377And can not you rest the sky upon a mountain?
35377And do you know,asked the damsel who had first spoken,"that a terrible dragon, with a hundred heads, keeps watch under the golden apple- tree?"
35377And have you never seen him, my fair maiden?
35377And how big was the box?
35377And how broad, I wonder, were the shoulders of Hercules?
35377And how dare you make this disturbance, while I am sacrificing a black bull to my father Neptune?
35377And how happens that? 35377 And how long a time,"asked the hero,"will it take you to get the golden apples?"
35377And how soon shall I be strong enough?
35377And is he a live giant, or a brazen image?
35377And pray what would satisfy you?
35377And was she not his sister?
35377And what do you want in my dominions?
35377And what has become of the pitcher now?
35377And what in the world can be inside of it?
35377And what is there in this magnificent golden rose to make you cry?
35377And what of it?
35377And what say you, venerable sir?
35377And what would become of Ben and Bruin?
35377And where did it come from?
35377And why not?
35377And will you carry me back when I have seen it?
35377And will you never regret the possession of it?
35377And will you stay with us,asked Epimetheus,"forever and ever?"
35377And would Tanglewood turn to smoke, as well as we?
35377And, besides, what would my dear mother do, if her beloved son were turned into a stone?
35377And, pray, who may the Old One be?
35377Are they as good as the first?
35377Are you awake, Prince Theseus?
35377Are you sure, beautiful Medea,asked Jason,"quite sure, that the unguent in the gold box will prove a remedy against those terrible burns?"
35377But can I do nothing to help them?
35377But how shall I ever find him?
35377But is not this enough? 35377 But what must I do,"asked Perseus,"when we meet them?"
35377But where can the monster be?
35377But who gave it to you?
35377But, can you show me the way to the garden of the Hesperides?
35377But,said Perseus,"why should I waste my time with these Three Gray Women?
35377Ca n''t I see into a thick bush as easily as yourself? 35377 Can you believe,"asked Eustace,"that there was once a winged horse?"
35377Can you tell me, pretty maidens,asked the stranger,"whether this is the right way to the garden of the Hesperides?"
35377Cousin Eustace,said Sweet Fern,"did the box hold all the trouble that has ever come into the world?"
35377Did there really come any words out of the hole?
35377Did you ever hear the like?
35377Did you see that flash of light?
35377Do n''t you think that I succeeded pretty well in catching that wonderful pony?
35377Do not you see you are lost, without me as your good angel? 35377 Do you call that a wonderful exploit?"
35377Do you not believe,said he, looking at the damsels with a smile,"that such a blow would have crushed one of the dragon''s hundred heads?"
35377Do you not know that this island is enchanted? 35377 Do you see it?"
35377Do you see? 35377 Do you, indeed, my dear child?"
35377Does it presume to be green, when I have bidden it be barren, until my daughter shall be restored to my arms?
35377Does the earth disobey me?
35377Does your Majesty see his confusion?
35377Dost thou bleed, my immortal horse?
35377Foolish woman,answered Ceres,"did you not promise to intrust this poor infant entirely to me?
35377Have they undergone a similar change, through the arts of this wicked Circe?
35377Have we not an author for our next neighbor?
35377Have you anything to tell me, little bird?
35377Have you brought me the head of Medusa with the snaky locks? 35377 Have you come so far to seek it,"exclaimed Medea,"and do you not recognize the meed of all your toils and perils, when it glitters before your eyes?
35377Have you forgotten what guards it?
35377Have you performed your promise?
35377How could it fail?
35377How will you prevent me,asked Hercules,"from going whither I please?"
35377How, then, can I tell you what is inside?
35377Is it a wholesome wine?
35377Is it much farther?
35377Is it not a very pleasant stream?
35377Is the sky very heavy?
35377Is there something alive in the box? 35377 Just take the sky upon your head one instant, will you?
35377Must we wait long for harvest- time?
35377My child,said she,"did you taste any food while you were in King Pluto''s palace?"
35377My dear Epimetheus,cried Pandora,"have you heard this little voice?"
35377My pretty bird,said Eurylochus,--for he was a wary person, and let no token of harm escape his notice,--"my pretty bird, who sent you hither?
35377O Primrose and Periwinkle, do you hear what he says?
35377O brindled cow,cried he, in a tone of despair,"do you never mean to stop?"
35377O daughter of the Talking Oak,cried he,"how shall we set to work to get our vessel into the water?"
35377O my dear son,cried King Ægeus,"why should you expose yourself to this horrible fate?
35377Oh, my sweet violets, shall I never see you again?
35377Oh, what shall we do, sisters? 35377 Oh, where is my dear child?"
35377On what errand?
35377Pandora, what are you thinking of?
35377Perseus,said the voice,"why are you sad?"
35377Pray what is the matter with you, this bright morning?
35377Pray, my good host, whence did you gather them?
35377Pray, my young friend,said he, as they grew familiar together,"what may I call your name?"
35377Pray, nurse,the queen kept saying,"how is it that you make the child thrive so?"
35377Pray, what do you want with me?
35377Pray, who are you, beautiful creature?
35377Quicksilver? 35377 Sacred oracle of Delphi,"said he,"whither shall I go next in quest of my dear sister Europa?"
35377See if you can lift this rock on which we are sitting?
35377Shall I lift the lid again?
35377Shall we not meet her soon?
35377So you have got the golden apples?
35377Tell me,cried he, before the Old One was well awake,"which is the way to the garden of the Hesperides?"
35377That little bird, which met me at the edge of the cliff,exclaimed Ulysses;"was he a human being once?"
35377The Golden Touch,asked the stranger,"or your own little Marygold, warm, soft, and loving as she was an hour ago?"
35377The Golden Touch,continued the stranger,"or a crust of bread?"
35377Then you are not satisfied?
35377Was it the girdle of Venus,inquired the prettiest of the damsels,"which makes women beautiful?"
35377Well, and what of that?
35377Well, but, dear mother,asked the boy,"why can not I go to this famous city of Athens, and tell King Ægeus that I am his son?"
35377Well, friend Midas,said the stranger,"pray how do you succeed with the Golden Touch?"
35377What can it be?
35377What can that be?
35377What could induce me?
35377What do you want there?
35377What does this mean?
35377What hast thou to do with an affair like this? 35377 What in the world do you want here?
35377What in the world, my little fellow,ejaculated Hercules,"may you be?"
35377What is it?
35377What is the matter, Jason?
35377What is the matter, father?
35377What is there to gratify her heart? 35377 What is this wonder?"
35377What kind of a monster may that be? 35377 What mean you, little bird?"
35377What says King Æetes, my royal and upright father?
35377What shall I do,said he,"in order to win the Golden Fleece?"
35377What shall I do?
35377What sort of a staff had he?
35377What will Epimetheus say? 35377 What''s all this?"
35377What''s your name? 35377 What, then, shall I do?"
35377What,said Hecate,"the young man that always sits in the sunshine?
35377Whence can the box have come?
35377Whence come you, strangers?
35377Where are you, Perseus?
35377Where are your two- and- twenty comrades?
35377Where is Proserpina?
35377Where is my child? 35377 Where is she?"
35377Where was the sound, and which way did it seem to go?
35377Where?
35377Which shall I strike at?
35377Whither are you going in such a hurry, wise Ulysses?
35377Whither are you going, Jason?
35377Who are you, I say?
35377Who are you, down at my feet there? 35377 Who are you, inside of this naughty box?"
35377Who are you?
35377Who are you?
35377Who are you?
35377Whose garment is this,inquired Perseus,"that keeps rustling close beside me in the breeze?"
35377Why do you come alone?
35377Why do you squeeze me so hard? 35377 Why should you be so frightened, my pretty child?"
35377Will he give you the Golden Fleece, without any further risk or trouble?
35377Will not you stay a moment,asked Phoebus,"and hear me turn the pretty and touching story of Proserpina into extemporary verses?"
35377Will the dog bite me?
35377Will you be kind enough to tell me whether the fountain has any name?
35377Will you trust the child entirely to me?
35377Wretch,cried Circe, giving him a smart stroke with her wand,"how dare you keep your human shape a moment longer?
35377You silly children, what do you want of more snow?
35377Young man,asked he, with his stern voice,"are you not appalled at the certainty of being devoured by this terrible Minotaur?"
35377Your sister?
35377Alas, what had he done?
35377And almost the first question which she put to him, after crossing the threshold, was this,--"Epimetheus, what have you in that box?"
35377And do n''t you see how careful we are to let the surf wave break over us every moment or two, so as to keep ourselves comfortably moist?
35377And how can I possibly tie it up again?"
35377And how long was his little finger?"
35377And now, my little auditors, shall I tell you something that will make you open your eyes very wide?
35377And pray, adventurous traveller, what do you want there?"
35377And this, then, is Pirene?
35377And was Cousin Eustace with the party?
35377And what could that favor be, unless to multiply his heaps of treasure?
35377And what do you think the snowy bull did next?
35377And what else did Bellerophon behold there?
35377And what is the message which you bring?"
35377And what was to be done?
35377And whence could this bull have come?
35377And whence do you come, in that little cup?"
35377And who are you?"
35377And your companion there?
35377And, as your next effort, what if you should try your hand on some one of the legends of Apollo?"
35377And, indeed, why not?
35377And, on that island, what do you think he saw?
35377And, truly, my dear little folks, did you ever hear of such a pitiable case in all your lives?
35377Are not these gems, which I have ordered to be dug for you, and which are richer than any in my crown,--are they not prettier than a violet?"
35377Are there no better walkers than yourself in the island of Seriphus?"
35377Are you an enchantress?"
35377Are you not terribly hungry?
35377But are you quite sure that this will satisfy you?"
35377But how can you help me to do the things of which you speak?
35377But was it really and truly an old man?
35377But, a little farther on, what should she behold?
35377But, by the by, have you added any more legends to the series, since the publication of the Wonder Book?"
35377But, in the first place, do any of you know what a Gorgon is?"
35377But, pray, have you lost a horse?
35377But, to test how much you have profited under so excellent a teacher, will you allow me to ask you a single question?"
35377Can not I carry the golden apples to the king, your cousin, much quicker than you could?
35377Can you guess who I am?
35377Can you tell me what has become of my dear child Proserpina?"
35377Could he drag the plough so well, think you?
35377Could you help smiling, Prince Jason, to see the self- conceit of that last fellow, just as he tumbled down?"
35377Dear Bellerophon, do you not see that it is no bird?
35377Did the roots extend down into some enchanted cavern?
35377Do n''t you pity me, Primrose?"
35377Do n''t you see me?"
35377Do n''t you think her the exact picture of yourself?
35377Do you imagine that earthly children are to become immortal without being tempered to it in the fiercest heat of the fire?
35377Do you know whether the winged horse Pegasus still haunts the Fountain of Pirene, as he used to do in your forefathers''days?"
35377Do you perceive no nice workmanship in that?
35377Do you see that tall gateway before us?
35377Do you see this splendid crown upon my head?
35377Do you think that you should be less curious than Pandora?
35377Do you think you could tell us another as good?"
35377Do you, then, love this king, your cousin, so very much?"
35377Dost thou not tremble, wicked king, to turn thine eyes inward on thine own heart?
35377Has he as strange a one?"
35377Have I not faithfully kept my promise with you?
35377Have you burnt your mouth?"
35377Have you never made the sunshine dance into dark corners, by reflecting it from a bit of looking- glass?
35377Have you not everything that your heart desired?"
35377How are you, my good fellow?"
35377How could a helmet make him invisible, unless it were big enough for him to hide under it?
35377How many days, think you, would he survive a continuance of this rich fare?
35377How shall I make him believe that I have not looked into the box?"
35377How was the blessed sunshine to be thrown into them?
35377How were they to be purified?
35377If I should lose you, too, as well as my little Europa, what would become of me?"
35377If any such misfortune were to happen, how could he ever get rid of the sky?
35377If you were left alone with the box, might you not feel a little tempted to lift the lid?
35377In those days, spectacles for common people had not been invented, but were already worn by kings; else, how could Midas have had any?
35377Instead of his ordinary milk diet, did he not eat up two of our comrades for his supper, and a couple more for breakfast, and two at his supper again?
35377Is it because I too am a king, that you desire so earnestly to speak with me?
35377Is it not possible, at the risk of one''s life, to slay him?"
35377Is there nothing which I can get you to eat?"
35377May I not run down to the shore, and ask some of the sea- nymphs to come up out of the waves and play with me?"
35377Now, who do you imagine these two voyagers turned out to be?
35377Of that you may be certain; else how could the book go on a step further?
35377Of what use would wings be to a horse?
35377Oh, what a good time was that to be alive in?
35377On which side of us does it lie?
35377Or could it be the beating of her heart?
35377Or is he afraid of wetting his fine golden- stringed sandals?
35377Or was it merely the singing in Pandora''s ears?
35377Pray, how big may your soul be?"
35377Pray, what may I call your name?
35377Pray, what would you advise me to do with him?"
35377Pray, why do you live in such a bad neighborhood?"
35377Proserpina, did you call her name?"
35377Quicksilver?"
35377Shall I never hear them again?
35377So you have made a discovery, since yesterday?"
35377THE MIRACULOUS PITCHER The Hill- Side_ Introductory to"The Miraculous Pitcher"_ And when, and where, do you think we find the children next?
35377Tanglewood Play- Room_ After the Story_"Primrose,"asked Eustace, pinching her ear,"how do you like my little Pandora?
35377Tanglewood Porch_ After the Story_"Was not that a very fine story?"
35377Tell me, for pity''s sake, have you seen my poor child Proserpina pass by the mouth of your cavern?"
35377Tell me, now, do you sincerely desire to rid yourself of this Golden Touch?"
35377Tell me, you naughty sea- nymphs, have you enticed her under the sea?"
35377The Hill- Side_ After the Story_"How much did the pitcher hold?"
35377The Three Golden Apples Did you ever hear of the golden apples, that grew in the garden of the Hesperides?
35377The ancient poets remodelled them at pleasure, and held them plastic in their hands; and why should they not be plastic in my hands as well?"
35377The gentle and innocent creature( for who could possibly doubt that he was so?)
35377This showed some intelligence in the oak; else how should it have known that any such person existed?
35377Was Theseus afraid?
35377Were we to drown the world with them, could the world blame us?
35377What are all the splendors you speak of, without affection?
35377What are kings made for, save to succor the feeble and distressed?
35377What can I do with him?"
35377What can have been the matter with them?"
35377What can we do to drive them away?"
35377What could it be, indeed?
35377What do you think has happened?
35377What do you think of this, my brave Jason?"
35377What does he mean to do?
35377What harm can the lady of the palace and her maidens do to mariners and warriors like us?"
35377What harm can there be in opening the box?
35377What if you should take my burden on your shoulders, while I do your errand for you?"
35377What in the world could we do without her?
35377What mortal, even if he possessed a hundred lives, could hope to escape the fangs of such a monster?
35377What say you, Sweet Fern, Dandelion, Clover, Periwinkle?
35377What should it be but the most magnificent palace that had ever been seen in the world?
35377What sort of a contrivance may that be, I wonder?
35377What will the king say to the one- sandalled man?"
35377Whence has he come?
35377Where are you all?
35377Which of the three is Medusa?"
35377Which of these two things do you think is really worth the most,--the gift of the Golden Touch, or one cup of clear cold water?"
35377Why did not I think of him before?
35377Why do you come hither?
35377Why, friend, are you in your senses?
35377Why, what could have become of the child?
35377Will not you like to ride a little way with me, in my beautiful chariot?"
35377Will you go with me, Phoebus, to demand my daughter of this wicked Pluto?"
35377Would any of you, after hearing this story, be so foolish as to desire the faculty of changing things to gold?"
35377Would he be less so by dinner- time?
35377Would it not be better to set out at once in search of the terrible Gorgons?"
35377Yet, what other loaf could it possibly be?
35377You have been gathering flowers?
35377Your mother, beholding you safe and sound, will shed tears of joy; and what can she do more, should you win ever so great a victory?
35377and where did you receive your education?"
35377asked Theseus,"if the labyrinth so bewilders me as you say it will?"
35377cried Perseus, to whom this seemed only a new difficulty in the path of his adventure;"pray who may the Three Gray Women be?
35377cried little Marygold, who was a very affectionate child,"pray what is the matter?
35377cried the student,"do you think I was there, to measure him with a yard- stick?
35377cried these kind- hearted old people,"what has become of our poor neighbors?"
35377do you smell the feast?
35377do you think me so?"
35377he cried;"how came you by it?"
35377if the fathers and mothers were so small, what must the children and babies have been?
35377must you go so soon?"
35377nor taste those nice little savory dishes which my dearest wife knew how to serve up?"
35377shouted Hercules, very wrathfully,"do you intend to make me bear this burden forever?"
35377sisters, what Nymphs does he mean?"
35377thought Cadmus;"or have I been dreaming all this while?"
35377was there ever such a gentle, sweet, pretty, and amiable creature as this bull, and ever such a nice playmate for a little girl?
35377what is the young man talking about?"
35377what shall we do?
35377why did n''t we go without our supper?"
35377why have you opened this wicked box?"
13707''Where are you going, my pretty maid?''
13707A procession of the regicide judges of King Charles the martyr?
13707All have been her victims; who so worthy to be the final victim as herself?
13707And did you also hear them?
13707And did you really see him at the province- house?
13707And do you feel it, then, at last?
13707And how,inquired I,"did his wife bear the shock of joyful surprise?"
13707And must I also pick up such worthless luggage in my travels?
13707And shall not the youth''s hair be cut?
13707And so, Peter, you wo n''t even consider of the business?
13707And the cost, Peter? 13707 And this dancing bear?"
13707And what shall be the token?
13707And what,inquired Ralph Cranfield, with a tremor in his voice--"what may this office be which is to equal me with kings and potentates?"
13707And who is there by this green pool that can bring thee news from the ends of the earth?
13707And yet,whispered Alice Vane,"may not such fables have a moral?
13707Are we grown old again so soon?
13707Are you mad, old man?
13707Are you sure it is our parson?
13707Art thou here with me, and none other? 13707 But did Ponce de Leon ever find it?"
13707But how if he wakes?
13707But in what capacity?
13707But what has good Parson Hooper got upon his face?
13707But what if the world will not believe that it is the type of an innocent sorrow?
13707But what is the meaning of it all?
13707But who were the three that preceded him?
13707But will ye lead him in the path which his parents have trodden?
13707But would it be possible,inquired her cousin,"to restore this dark picture to its pristine hues?"
13707Call you this liberty of conscience?
13707Can that be my old playmate Faith Egerton?
13707Can there be a funeral so late this afternoon?
13707Can ye teach him the enlightened faith which his father has died for, and for which I-- even I-- am soon to become an unworthy martyr? 13707 Catharine, blessed woman,"exclaimed the old man,"art thou come to this darkened land again?
13707Come,said I to the damsel of gay attire;"shall we visit all the wonders of the world together?"
13707Couldst thou have thought there were such merry times in a mad- house?
13707Cruel?
13707Dark old man,exclaimed the affrighted minister,"with what horrible crime upon your soul are you now passing to the judgment?"
13707Did not my great- grand- uncle, Peter Goldthwaite, who died seventy years ago, and whose namesake I am, leave treasure enough to build twenty such?
13707Did not the door open?
13707Did you never hear of the Fountain of Youth?
13707Didst thou see it too?
13707Dighton,demanded the general,"what means this foolery?
13707Do we not all spring from an evil root? 13707 Do you see no change in your portrait?"
13707Does Fate impede its own decree?
13707Dost thou desire nothing brighter than gold, that thou wouldst transmute all this ethereal lustre into such dross as thou wallowest in already? 13707 Edith, sweet Lady of the May,"whispered he, reproachfully,"is yon wreath of roses a garland to hang above our graves that you look so sad?
13707Elinor,exclaimed Walter, in amazement,"what change has come over you?"
13707For heaven''s sake, what is the matter?
13707Friend Tobias,inquired the old man, compassionately,"hast thou found no comfort in these many blessed passages of Scripture?"
13707Had not you better let me take the job?
13707Hath she not likewise a gift to declare her sentiments?
13707Have any ever planned such a temple save ourselves?
13707Have you a mother, dear child?
13707Have you done much for the improvement of the city?
13707Have you torn the house down enough to heat the teakettle?
13707Hide it under thy cloak, sayest thou? 13707 How came it there?"
13707How dare you stay the march of King James''s governor?
13707How many stripes for the priest?
13707How, fellow?
13707I am a woman-- I am but a woman; will He try me above my strength?
13707If I hide my face for sorrow, there is cause enough,he merely replied;"and if I cover it for secret sin, what mortal might not do the same?"
13707In mine? 13707 In the devil''s name, what is this?"
13707Is he one whom the wilderness- folk have ravished from some Christian mother?
13707Is it known, my dear uncle,inquired she,"what this old picture once represented?
13707Is the man thinking what he will do when he is a widower?
13707Is there not a change?
13707Is, then, the picture less like than it was yesterday?
13707Mistress Dudley, why are you loitering here?
13707Mr. Peter,remarked Tabitha,"must the wine be drunk before the money is found?"
13707Must he share the stripes of his fellows?
13707My dear old friends,repeated Dr. Heidegger,"may I reckon on your aid in performing an exceedingly curious experiment?"
13707My poor boy, are you so feeble?
13707No,said his bride,"for how could we live by day or sleep by night in this awful blaze of the Great Carbuncle?"
13707Oh, Tabitha,cried he, with tremulous rapture,"how shall I endure the effulgence?
13707Oh, maiden,said I aloud,"why did you not come hither alone?"
13707Pray, how was it effected?
13707See you not he is some old round- headed dignitary who hath lain asleep these thirty years and knows nothing of the change of times? 13707 Shall I tell the secrets of yours?
13707Shall we go on?
13707Shall we not waken him?
13707So, Faith, you have kept the heart?
13707Stern man,cried the May- lord,"how can I move thee?
13707That, I suppose, will be provided for off- hand by drawing a check on Bubble Bank?
13707The portraits-- are they within?
13707Then who shall divulge the secret? 13707 Then you are going toward Vermont?"
13707They are not under the sod,I rejoined;"then why should I mark the spot where there is no treasure hidden?
13707To what purpose?
13707Valiant captain,quoth Peter Palfrey, the ancient of the band,"what order shall be taken with the prisoners?"
13707Walter, are you in earnest?
13707We are not wo nt to show an idle courtesy to that sex which requireth the stricter discipline.--What sayest thou, maid? 13707 What castle- hall hast thou to hang it in?"
13707What does this old fellow here?
13707What does this rascal of a painter mean?
13707What else have you brought to insure a welcome from the discontented race of mortals?
13707What grievous affliction hath befallen you,she earnestly inquired,"that you should thus darken your eyes for ever?"
13707What hast thou to do with conscience, thou knave?
13707What have you been doing in the political way?
13707What is here? 13707 What is it, mother?"
13707What is that to the purpose?
13707What is the coroner''s verdict? 13707 What may this portend?"
13707What means the Bedlamite by this freak?
13707What means this blaze of light? 13707 What new jest has Your Excellency in hand?"
13707What pale and bright- eyed little boy is this, Tobias?
13707What sweeter place shall we find than this?
13707What thing art thou?
13707What worthies are these?
13707What''s here?
13707When did you taste food last?
13707When have I triumphed over ruined innocence? 13707 Whence did he come?
13707Where has this mad fellow stolen that sacramental vessel?
13707Where in this world, indeed?
13707Where in this world,exclaimed Adam Forrester, despondingly,"shall we build our temple of happiness?"
13707Where is the Lady Eleanore?
13707Where is your great humbug?
13707Who is this gray patriarch?
13707Who is this insolent young fellow?
13707Who is this man of thought and care, weary with world- wandering and heavy with disappointed hopes? 13707 Who is this venerable brother?"
13707Who undid the door?
13707Whose grand coach is this?
13707Whose voice hast thou stolen for thy murmurs and miserable petitions, as if Lady Eleanore could be conscious of mortal infirmity? 13707 Why do I waste words on the fellow?"
13707Why do you haunt me thus?
13707Why do you look back?
13707Why do you seek her now? 13707 Why do you tremble at me alone?"
13707Why had that young man a stain of blood upon his ruff?
13707Why should we seek farther for the site of our temple?
13707Will not Your Excellency order out the guard?
13707Wilt thou betray me?
13707Wilt thou still worship the destroyer and surround her image with fantasies the more magnificent the more evil she has wrought? 13707 Would Your Excellency inquire further into the mystery of the pageant?"
13707Would you forget your dead friends the moment they are under the sod?
13707Wouldst thou hear more?
13707Wretched lady,said the painter,"did I not warn you?"
13707Wretched lunatic, what do you seek here?
13707Yes,said she, blushing deeply; then, more gayly,"And what else have you brought me from beyond the sea?"
13707You positively refuse to let me have this crazy old house, and the land under and adjoining, at the price named?
13707Young man, what is your purpose?
13707Am I not thy prophet?"
13707And could such beings of cloudy fantasy, so near akin to nothingness, give valid evidence against him at the day of judgment?
13707And did her beauty gladden me for that one moment and then die?
13707And did she dwell there in utter loneliness?
13707And had he found them?
13707And has he sent for me at last?
13707And the man?
13707And were the Lily and her lover to be more fortunate than all those millions?
13707And what are the haughtiest of us but the ephemeral aristocrats of a summer''s day?
13707And what is time to the married of eternity?"
13707And what means it?"
13707And what news from Boston?"
13707And what speak ye of James?
13707And what the feast?
13707And who are these on whom, and on all that appertains to them, the dust of earth seems never to have settled?
13707And who was the Gray Champion?
13707And will Death and Sorrow ever enter that proud mansion?
13707And wilt thou sink beneath an affliction which happens alike to them that have their portion here below and to them that lay up treasure in heaven?
13707And, after all, can such philosophy be true?
13707Are the murderers apprehended?
13707Are there any two living creatures who have so few sympathies that they can not possibly be friends?
13707Are they spent amiss?
13707Are we not all in darkness till the light doth shine upon us?
13707Are you all satisfied?
13707Are you quarrelling with the Old Scratch?"
13707Are you ready for the lifting of the veil that shuts in time from eternity?"
13707Are you telling me of a painter, or a wizard?"
13707Art thou come to bear a valiant testimony as in former years?
13707As we went on--""Have I not borne all this, and have I murmured?"
13707At"Yet... profit?"
13707But did the dead man laugh?
13707But how is he to attain his ends?
13707But what cares Annie for soldiers?
13707But what dismal equipage now struggles along the uneven street?
13707But what think ye now?
13707But what was the wild throng that stood hand in hand about the Maypole?
13707But where are the hulks and scattered timbers of sunken ships?
13707But where is the Lady Eleanore?"
13707But where was the Gray Champion?
13707But where was the mermaid in those delightful times?
13707But where would Annie find a partner?
13707But why had she returned to him when their cold hearts shrank from each other''s embrace?
13707But would it influence the event?"
13707By her long communion with woe has she not forfeited her inheritance of immortal joy?
13707Can I decline?
13707Can it be that nobody caught sight of him?
13707Could Mr. Hooper be fearful of her glance, that he so hastily caught back the black veil?
13707Could it be that a footstep was now heard coming down the staircase of the old mansion which all conceived to have been so long untenanted?
13707Did Annie ever read the cries of London city?
13707Did he seek to hide it from the dread Being whom he was addressing?
13707Did his broken spirit feel at that dread hour the tremendous burden of a people''s curse?
13707Do ye touch bottom, my young friends?
13707Do you believe it?"
13707Do you not envy her, Elinor?"
13707Do you not feel it so?"
13707Do you remember any act of enormous folly at which you would blush even in the remotest cavern of the earth?
13707Do you remember it?
13707Do you see that bundle under his head?"
13707Does any germ of bliss survive within her?
13707Does he strive to be melancholy and gentlemanlike, or is he merely overcome by the heat?
13707Doth he stand here among this multitude of people?
13707Doubtless you know their purport?"
13707Eh?"
13707Eh?"
13707Forget them?
13707Had I created her?
13707Had I ever heard that sweet, low tone?
13707Had it passed away or faded into nothing?
13707Had the changes of a lifetime been crowded into so brief a space, and were they now four aged people sitting with their old friend Dr. Heidegger?
13707Has it been merely this?
13707Has it talked for so many ages and meant nothing all the while?
13707Hath he cast me down never to rise again?
13707Hath he crushed my very heart in his hand?--And thou to whom I committed my child, how hast thou fulfilled thy trust?
13707Have I not achieved it?
13707Have men avoided me and women shown no pity and children screamed and fled only for my black veil?
13707Have not I resolved within myself that the whole earth contains no fitter ornament for the great hall of my ancestral castle?
13707Have not my musings melted into its rocky walls and sandy floor and made them a portion of myself?
13707Have you been hanged, or not?"
13707He often paused with his axe uplifted in the air, and said to himself,"Peter Goldthwaite, did you never strike this blow before?"
13707He then added with his usual good- nature,"How can Cupid die when there are such pretty maidens in the Vineyard?"
13707Heap of diseased mortality, why lurkest thou in my lady''s chamber?"
13707Honestly, now, doctor, have you not stirred up the sober brains of some of your countrymen to enact a scene in our masquerade?"
13707How came I among these wanderers?
13707How came it in your mind too?"
13707How could I ever reach her?
13707How does Winter herald his approach?
13707How does our worthy Governor Winthrop?
13707How goes it, friend Peter?"
13707How mean you, good sir, to enjoy the prize which you have been seeking the Lord knows how long among the Crystal Hills?"
13707How shall the widow''s horror be represented?
13707How, then, came the doomed victim here?
13707If not sunshine, what can it be?"
13707If the murder had not been committed till Tuesday night, who was the prophet that had foretold it in all its circumstances on Tuesday morning?
13707Is Annie a literary lady?
13707Is Mr. Higginbotham''s niece come out of her fainting- fits?
13707Is he in doubt or in debt?
13707Is he-- if the question be allowable-- in love?
13707Is it accomplished?
13707Is not little Annie afraid of such a tumult?
13707Is not the kindred of a common fate a closer tie than that of birth?
13707Is the doorkeeper asleep?"
13707Is there not a deep moral in the tale?
13707Is this a toyshop, or is it fairy- land?
13707Is this like Elinor?"
13707It was musical, but how should there be such music in my solitude?
13707Kind patrons, will not you redeem the pledge of the New Year?
13707May I rest its weight on you?"
13707May I rest its weight on you?"
13707Nevertheless, as slight differences are scarcely perceptible from a church- spire, one might be tempted to ask,"Which are the boys?"
13707Not a soul would ask,''Who was he?
13707Now think ye that I would have done this grievous wrong to my soul, body, reputation and estate, without a reasonable chance of profit?"
13707Now, hoping no offence, I should like to know where this young gentleman may be going?"
13707Now, think ye that I would have done this grievous wrong to my soul, body, reputation and estate without a reasonable chance of profit?"
13707Now, what should an old woman wish for, when she can go but a step or two before she comes to her grave?
13707Now, which of these slabs would you like best to see your own name upon?"
13707Now, would you deem it possible that this rose of half a century could ever bloom again?"
13707Of sunken ships and whereabouts they lie?
13707Of what mysteries is it telling?
13707Oh, when the deliverer came so near, in the dull anguish of her worn- out sympathies did she never long to cry,"Death, come in"?
13707Or, in good truth, had a lovely girl with a warm heart and lips that would bear pressure stolen softly behind me and thrown her image into the spring?
13707Perhaps little Annie would like to go?
13707Peter?"
13707Possibly, could it be made visible, it might prove a masterpiece of some great artist; else why has it so long held such a conspicuous place?"
13707See how lightly he capers away again!--Jowler, did your worship ever have the gout?
13707Shall I put these feelings into words?"
13707Shall thy silken bridegroom suffer thy share of the penalty besides his own?"
13707Shall we waken him?"
13707She broke forth with sudden and irrepressible violence:"Tell me, man of cold heart, what has God done to me?
13707Supposing the legend true, can this be other than the once proud Lady Eleanore?
13707Take a passenger?"
13707The boy has been baptized in blood; will ye keep the mark fresh and ruddy upon his forehead?"
13707Then would she mark out the grave the scent of which would be perceptible on the pillow of the second bridal?
13707Time-- where man lives not-- what is it but eternity?
13707Unhang the old gentleman?
13707Was he not alive within five years, and did he not, in token of our long friendship, bequeath me his gold- headed cane and a mourning- ring?"
13707Was her existence absorbed in nature''s loveliest phenomenon, and did her pure frame dissolve away in the varied light?
13707Was it an illusion?
13707Was it delusion?
13707Was it not for liberty to worship God according to our conscience?"
13707Was it not for the enjoyment of our civil rights?
13707Was it worth while to rear this massive edifice to be a desert in the heart of the town and populous only for a few hours of each seventh day?
13707Was not Martha wedded in her teens to David Tomkins, who won her girlish love and long enjoyed her affection as a wife?
13707Was not her white form fading into the moonlight?
13707Was not his own the form in which that Destiny had embodied itself, and he a chief agent of the coming evil which he had foreshadowed?
13707Was she the daughter of my fancy, akin to those strange shapes which peep under the lids of children''s eyes?
13707Was the King of Terrors more awful in those days than in our own, that wisdom and philosophy have been able to produce this change?
13707Was the old fellow actually murdered two or three nights ago by an Irishman and a nigger?"
13707Were we not like ghosts?
13707What but the mystery which it obscurely typifies has made this piece of crape so awful?
13707What cares the world for that?
13707What clouds are gathering in the golden west with direful intent against the brightness and the warmth of this summer afternoon?
13707What does old Esther''s joy portend?"
13707What has she to do with weddings?
13707What have we to do with England?"
13707What have we to do with this mitred prelate-- with this crowned king?
13707What have you been about during your sojourn in this part of infinite space?"
13707What heart could resist him?
13707What if Remorse should assume the features of an injured friend?
13707What if he should stand at your bed''s foot in the likeness of a corpse with a bloody stain upon the shroud?
13707What if the fiend should come in woman''s garments with a pale beauty amid sin and desolation, and lie down by your side?
13707What if this embassy should bring me the message of my fate?"
13707What is guilt?
13707What is his purpose?
13707What is the mystery in my heart?"
13707What is there for me but your decay and death?
13707What made him hide it so snug, Tabby?"
13707What miracle shall set all things right again?
13707What news from the camp- meeting at Stamford?"
13707What other shelter is there for old Esther Dudley save the province- house or the grave?"
13707What saith the people''s orator?
13707What say you, again?"
13707What sort of a man was Wakefield?
13707What to me is the outcry of a mob in this remote province of the realm?
13707What were you thinking of?"
13707What''s the latest news at Parker''s Falls?"
13707What, then, in sober earnest, were the delusive treasures of the chest?
13707What, then?
13707Whence come they?
13707Whence comes that stifled laughter?
13707Where do they build their nests and seek their food?
13707Where would be Death''s triumph if none lived to weep?
13707Wherefore have all other adventurers sought the prize in vain but that I might win it and make it a symbol of the glories of our lofty line?
13707Wherefore have we come hither to set up our own tombstones in a wilderness?
13707Wherefore, I say again, have we sought this country of a rugged soil and wintry sky?
13707Whither did the wanderer go?''
13707Who are the choristers?
13707Who but the fiend and his bond- slaves the crew of Merry Mount had thus disturbed them?
13707Who can this old man be?"
13707Who has not heard their name?
13707Who heeds the poor organ- grinder?
13707Who knows but I may take a glimpse at myself and see whether all''s right?"
13707Who reared it?
13707Who shall enslave us here?
13707Who stands guard here?
13707Whom had my heart recognized, that it throbbed so?
13707Why should not an old man be merry too, when the great sea is at play with those little children?
13707Why should we follow Fancy through the whole series of those awful pictures?
13707Why will they disturb my pious meditations?
13707Why, at least, did no smile of welcome brighten upon his face?
13707Will she ever feel the night- wind and the rain?
13707Will you meet me there?
13707With that sentiment gushing from my soul, might I not leave all the rest to him?
13707Would it not be so among the dead?
13707Would you go to the sole home that is left you?
13707Would you have me wait till the mob shall sack the province- house as they did my private mansion?
13707Yet why should it be so?
13707You are repairing the old house, I suppose, making a new one of it?
13707asked Dr. Heidegger,"which Ponce de Leon, the Spanish adventurer, went in search of two or three centuries ago?"
13707cried Mr. Brown, again;"what the devil are you about there, that I hear such a racket whenever I pass by?
13707cried old Gascoigne;"is the stream yet pure from the stain of the murderer''s hands?"
13707have you already asked yourselves that question?"
13707inquired he of the domestic; then, recollecting himself,"Your master and mistress-- are they at home?"
13707or"Peter, what need of tearing the whole house down?
13707or, rather,"Which the men?"
13707said Colonel Killigrew, who believed not a word of the doctor''s story;"and what may be the effect of this fluid on the human frame?"
13707where the corpses and skeletons of seamen who went down in storm and battle?
13707where the corroded cannon?
13707where the treasures that old Ocean hoards?
13707will she die?
13707you do not fear to sit beneath the gallows on a new- made grave, and yet you tremble at a friend''s touch?
