15320[_ Who set the house- pillar upside- down?
15320signifies really,"What wanton has bewitched him?"
15320when shall we meet?"
56985''Where away?'' 56985 And did n''t ye jest tell me,"Kathleen replied,"that Japan is an island in the Pacific Oshin?
56985And is it really the case,said Frank,"that a Japanese baby never cries?"
56985And so these things come here in cans, do they?
56985And were lost in it, I suppose?
56985And what are norimons and cangos?
56985And what is sa- kee, please?
56985And what is the difference between Buddhism and Shintoism?
56985And what was the edict?
56985And you''ll let me go with them, wo n''t you, father?
56985Another thing,said Fred--"why is it that the grooms are covered with tattoo- marks, and wear so little clothing?"
56985Anything else?
56985But does every Chinese who goes to a foreign country understand how to talk pidgin English?
56985But you wo n''t let him go all alone, father, now, will you?
56985Ca n''t we go first to Yeddo?
56985Can I get any kind of money with this letter, father?
56985Can it be? 56985 Did n''t you find that an orange would buy more cherries or apples at one time than at another?"
56985Did they destroy the cities that we see in ruins?
56985Do my eyes deceive me? 56985 Do you mean the island of Pappenberg?"
56985Doctor Bronson has been there before, has n''t he, father?
56985How can I tell?
56985How do you know which way to turn?
56985How long shall we be on the voyage, Doctor?
56985How was that?
56985How was that?
56985I ca n''t think of it,replied Frank;"what is it?"
56985If they did no work,said Frank,"how did they manage to live?"
56985Is there any law about it?
56985Now,continued Frank,"there are thirty- two points of the compass; do you know them?"
56985Please, Doctor,said Frank,"what is the nature of the notices they put on the sign- board?"
56985Please, Doctor,said Mary,"what do you mean by legal tender?"
56985Something Japanese?
56985Then the emperor is called the Mikado, is he not?
56985Well, how did he live all that time?
56985Well, then, as they are both women, or girls, as you may choose to call them, why do n''t you take up the subject of women in Japan? 56985 Well, what did you expect to find?"
56985Well, what is it?
56985Well, what is it?
56985Were you ever sea- sick, Doctor?
56985What did you do then, Doctor?
56985What do they use for the burning?
56985What do you suppose it was? 56985 What is it?"
56985What is it?
56985What is that?
56985What is the jin- riki- sha?
56985What is the reason they do n''t strike the hours here as they do on land?
56985What is the use of writing up our Canton experiences,said Frank,"till we know what we are to do?
56985What puts that into your head, Kathleen?
56985What time in the evening must we go,said Fred,"so as to be there in season for the beginning of the performance?"
56985What was that?
56985What''s that to do with the crow?
56985Where are we going, please?
56985Where away?
56985Why are we like that chambermaid over there?
56985Why do n''t they work on the ground instead of climbing up there?
56985Why do they call that the Golden Gate?
56985Why is that network we have just been looking at like a crow calling to his mates?
56985Why so?
56985Why so?
56985Why, everything,Frank answered;"the crow makes ye- caw- go, does n''t it?"
56985Why, what could pirates have to do with this boat, I wonder?
56985Why? 56985 Will we stop anywhere on the way?"
56985Would n''t it be well to go the day before?
56985Would the money be lost altogether?
56985You mean those little things the Japanese sleep on?
56985But then what could you expect of a lot of heathens like the Japanese?
56985Could anything be more fortunate?
56985Curious custom, is n''t it, according to our notions?"
56985Do n''t you see that Bishop Berkeley wrote before railways were invented, and before people could travel as they do nowadays?
56985Do you observe that one side of the island is like a precipice?"
56985Do you see that little hollow down there?"
56985Do you see that low bank there, in front of a mud- wall to the left of the fort?"
56985Do you think my old drawing- master at home could do the same thing?
56985Frank inquired,"or must I take it in pounds sterling?
56985He had just strength enough to say, in a troubled voice, to the man nearest him,"Say, stranger, how far does this thing fly before it lights?"
56985I wonder if they make much money out of the music they are playing?
56985Is n''t it a grand idea?"
56985Perhaps you have seen New York Bay on a pleasant afternoon in summer when every boat that could hoist a sail was out for an airing?
56985Then the question naturally arose,"How is the operation performed?"
56985Then the question very naturally arose,"What is pidgin English?"
56985Thus:''Can do walkee?''
56985Very kind, is n''t it?
56985Very sensible advice, I think-- don''t you?
56985What do you mean?"
56985What is the meaning of this?"
56985What was it?"
56985Why should we be in a hurry to write up our account, when, in any case, we shall have the time to do so while we are at sea?"
56985Wo n''t that be nice?"
56985You know we expect every kitten in America to play with her tail, and what can she do when she has no tail to play with?
56985You remember the pocket pin- cushion you made for me?
56985[ Illustration]"''"Man- man,"one girlee talkee he:"What for you go top- side look- see?"
56985an American leader for Chinese?"
56985means''Are you able to walk?''
56985said he;"what are those beautiful white birds?"
8130''Akira, do the Japanese always keep their vows to the gods?''
8130''Akira,''I ask,''it can not then be lawful, according to Buddhism, for any one to wear silk?''
8130''And how many pilgrims from other provinces visit the great shrine yearly?''
8130''And the Kami,--the deities of Shinto?''
8130''And your name?''
8130''Are there Buddhists in England and America?''
8130''Are you a Buddhist?''
8130''But do they clap their hands to call the Gods, as Japanese clap their hands to summon their attendants?''
8130''But there are only nine?''
8130''But what is this, Akira?''
8130''But why are those little stones piled about the statues?''
8130''Even in Nirvana?''
8130''In the period when the temple was built upon a larger scale,''I ask,''were the timbers for its construction obtained from the forests of Izumo?''
8130''In what part of the Oho- yashiro,''I ask,''do the august deities assemble during the Kami- ari- zuki?''
8130''Is it really worth while to climb up there in the sun?''
8130''Is not this great temple of Kitzuki,''I inquire,''older than the temples of Ise?''
8130''Then is there no way, Akira, by which Bimbogami may be driven away?''
8130''Then the clapping of hands signifies that in prayer the soul awakens from such dreaming?''
8130''Tsukuri hana!--tsukuri- hana- wa- irimasenka?''
8130''What amusing is?
8130''What do they signify?''
8130''What is more fugitive than a smile?
8130''What is that?''
8130''What time do you think it is?''
8130''Why do you make offerings if you do not believe in Buddha?''
8130''Why is there no image of Buddha in your temple?''
8130''Yes, will you come to my room?''
8130''You understand what I mean by the word"soul"?''
813010''Tera?''
813019''And this,''the reader may say,--''this is all that you went forth to see: a torii, some shells, a small damask snake, some stones?''
81308''Tera?''
81309''Tera?''
8130Again he asked:"What is the cause of your crying?"
8130And I ask:''How many Buddhas are there, O Akira?
8130And even then--''And even then?''
8130And he asked the boy:''Why did you not put the ten?''
8130And the emotion itself-- what is it?
8130And the tale of his descent into that strange nether world, and of what there befell him, is it not written in the Kojiki?
8130As Akira takes his seat before me, on the other side of the hibachi, I ask him:''What was the name I saw on the tablet?''
8130But Ono- no- Kimi pleaded, saying,''How may I go back, not knowing my way through the darkness?''
8130But in what land did ever religious practice and theology agree?
8130But tell me, I pray you; unto what may the Bon- ichi be likened?''
8130But what is the hare?
8130But what, you may ask, has all this to do with the Horse of Bronze?
8130But where are the men, and the old women?
8130But why should the papers be cast into running water?
8130But why that long, loud, weird rapping on the bow with a stone evidently kept on board for no other purpose?
8130Finally he asks me:''Are you a Christian?''
8130Hast thou other sons who should speak?"
8130How can people afford to make such things for four cents, even in this country of astounding cheapness?
8130How describe a torii to those who have never looked at one even in a photograph or engraving?
8130How far is it from here to the next town?--Akasaka?
8130I asked a charming Japanese girl:''How can a doll live?''
8130I turn to the young student, and ask him:''Why do they clap their hands three times before they pray?''
8130IYAJI.--What are you doing there?
8130Illusion?
8130Is the number of the Enlightened known?''
8130KIDAHACHI.--What are you doing?--putting your hand there?
8130KIDAHACHI.--What do you mean?--What are you going to do to me?
8130Or more briefly:''No or yes?''
8130Perhaps you would like to see it?''
8130So how is thy heart?''"
8130Symbolising what?
8130Then Kobodaishi asked the boy:''Who are you?''
8130Then Take- haya- susa- no- wo- no- mikoto said to the old man:"If this be thy daughter, wilt thou offer her to me?"
8130Then he asked him:"What is its form like?"
8130Then he deigned to ask:"Who are ye?"
8130To the question,''Why do they come from the sea?''
8130Unto what, I ask myself, may this be likened?
8130What are the Ma?
8130What are they?
8130What is this but Renan''s thought of a deity in process of evolution, uttered by the heart of a child?
8130What would be thought of our own roughs in such a country?
8130Where is he?
8130Which no doubt means, do I want to see any more temples?
8130Whither?
8130Who presumes to suppose that the gods know English?
8130Why should the trees be so lovely in Japan?
8130Why such a feeling?
8130Why these offerings of horses of straw?
8130Would you like to come with me?''
8130You do not know what an uguisu is?
8130[ 1]''What night?
8130[ 6]''Does the little serpent come to the temple of its own accord?''

8133''A yamabushi, an exorciser?''
8133''And does a European love his wife more than his father and mother?''
8133''And in these days, Kinjuro, do people ever see her?''
8133''And in what manner,''I asked,''came you to learn that you have four Souls?''
8133''And it is better to have many Souls than a few?''
8133''And tell me, O Kinjuro, do there now exist people having more Souls than you?''
8133''And the Souls are never separated?''
8133''And the man having but one Soul is a being imperfect?''
8133''And this I desire to know: Can a man separate his Souls?
8133''And what is the Yuki- Onna?''
8133''But after death what becomes of the Souls?''
8133''But do not some of the pilgrims die of cold, Kinjuro?''
8133''But she can not use her hands while she is carrying a baby that way, can she?''
8133''But why?''
8133''Can they be seen?''
8133''Did you ever see her, Kinjuro?''
8133''Eggs?''
8133''Four?
8133''How?
8133''How?''
8133''Is it possible you never heard of the Kudan?
8133''Naked?''
8133''Nay,''protested the painter, smiling,''what is it that I have done?
8133''Not from the parents, then, do the Souls descend?''
8133''Omae samukaro?''
8133''Omae samukaro?''
8133''Omae samukaro?''
8133''Omae samukaro?''
8133''On what part of the roof?''
8133''So that a man of to- day possessing but one Soul may have had an ancestor with nine Souls?''
8133''Teacher, how do European women carry their babies?''
8133''Then what has become of those other eight Souls which the ancestor possessed, but which the descendant is without?''
8133''What does the Master honourably think concerning it?''
8133''What is a Kudan?''
8133''What is there at Yabumura, Kinjuro?''
8133''Where did he come from?''
8133''Why do they not stay upon the roof for fifty days instead of forty- nine?''
8133''Why?''
8133''Yet a man very imperfect might have had an ancestor perfect?''
8133( Elder Brother probably is cold?
8133( Has the honzon[ 33] been suspended?)

81339 Having asked in various classes for written answers to the question,''What is your dearest wish?''
8133And how far can a woman walk carrying a baby in her arms?''
8133And in the deepest love of another being do we not indeed love ourselves?
8133And the voices continued until the hour of dawn:''Ani- San samukaro?''
8133And what is the waste entailed upon the Japanese schoolboy''s system by study?
8133Are not our ancestors in very truth our Kami?
8133Are we not all One in the unknowable Ultimate?
8133But does it at present atrophy certain finer tendencies?
8133But is not this true?
8133But of any who return for that which is not evil-- where is it written?
8133But tell me, I pray you, what is the use of having more than one or two Souls?''
8133But the danna- sama knows that story?''
8133But what did it mean?
8133But why a lobster?
8133But why charcoal( sumi)?
8133Can he, for instance, have one Soul in Kyoto and one in Tokyo and one in Matsue, all at the same time?''
8133Did the Moon cry?
8133Did you ever hear of such disgusting creatures?''
8133Do I buy tobacco for frogs?
8133Do Japanese enamoured of Western ways propose to have their nation''s history written in similar terms?
8133Do they seriously contemplate turning their country into a new field for experiments in Western civilisation?
8133Do we still think of that infinitely complex Something which is each one of us, and which we call EGO, as''I''or as''They''?
8133For a moment only there was silence; then a sweet, thin, plaintive voice queried, close to his ear,''Ani- San samukaro?''
8133For an instant he hesitated; then he said to himself,''What matters it?
8133If a cat be left alone with a corpse, will not the corpse arise and dance?
8133If he be afraid, will he not call my name, as he was wo nt to do?
8133Is not every action indeed the work of the Dead who dwell within us?

8133Master, said I not rightly this boy has but one Soul?''
8133Nanno gosengoku kimi to neyo?
8133O Heaven, why didst thou take away that dawning life from the world, and leave such a one as I-- old Shokei, feeble, decrepit, and of no more use?
8133One with the everlasting future?
8133One with the inconceivable past?
8133One within the other-- like the little lacquered boxes of an inro?''
8133Parents watch, and friends, for these living moments to whisper caressing things, or to ask:''Is there anything thou dost wish?''
8133So I questioned Kinjuro:''Kinjuro, those goblins of which we the ningyo have seen-- do folk believe in the reality, thereof?''
8133So degozarimasu ka?
8133Some declare that the hototogisu does not really repeat its own name, but asks,''Honzon kaketaka?''
8133Such is the geisha''s rôle But what is the mystery of her?
8133Then the Master answered sharply:''Why did none of you tell me of this before?''
8133We can not now fight: what shall be done?"
8133What are her thoughts, her emotions, her secret self?
8133What are the personalities, the individualities of us but countless vibrations in the Universal Being?
8133What care I for koku?
8133What do you think of that?''
8133What has become of the noble and charming qualities they must have inherited from their fathers?
8133What is a nuke- kubi?
8133What is her veritable existence beyond the night circle of the banquet lights, far from the illusion formed around her by the mist of wine?
8133What is here to shave?
8133What is the psychical theory connected with so singular a belief?
8133What offence have these poor people committed that they, too, should not share the benefits of Western civilisation?
8133What?
8133Which signifies,''Thou, the male, King of Korea, dost thou not feel shame to flee away from the Queen of the East?''
8133Why are the honourable ears of the Child of the Hare of the honourable mountain so long?
8133Why bitter oranges( daidai)?
8133Why fern- leaves( moromoki or urajiro)?
8133Why the devil did the man smile?
8133Why?''
8133Would he really?''
8133[ 1]''What is her face like?''
8133[ 4] Or might we think her capable of keeping that passionate promise she utters so deliciously?
8133[ 4]''But why was the God of Mionoseki angry about the Kudan?''
8133[ 7] How far are these antique beliefs removed from the ideas of the nineteenth century?

57861''Do you think so?'' 57861 ''Edith,''he called across the table to Mrs. Roosevelt,''do you hear that?
57861''What about doctor''s bills?'' 57861 ''What''s that you are saying?''
57861''Why do you think I should not kill bears?'' 57861 And why?
57861And you are sure the ema did it?
57861Are you glad to see Japan again, Sugimoto?
57861But do n''t you like to be scrubbed?
57861But do you understand our theory of the garden?
57861But what goes on inside that they ought not to see?
57861But what if the wardrobe should fall over on you?
57861But what the man give it to Mr. Street for?
57861But, dressed this way, wo n''t we look queer?
57861Can you get me some milk?
57861Could you show it to me on the map?
57861Did it cure you, Yuki?
57861Did your eyes hurt you during the two weeks?
57861Do n''t they have fresh milk at these inns?
57861Do you know what the inscription is?
57861Even those who do n''t have to?
57861How am I going to do that, when that old woman is in my place?
57861I suppose you are all of you married?
57861If the others do it,the Japanese militarists have argued,"why should n''t we?
57861If you do n''t like it,he answered,"why do n''t you get back in the basha?"
57861Not really?
57861Poetic? 57861 Say about two hundred years?"
57861Say, how far is it to this town where these people live?
57861Speaking of poetry and the love of Nature,said he,"have you noticed the kimono of our host''s daughter?"
57861That island belongs to the United States?
57861They build their houses for them, do n''t they?
57861This inn has been patronized by an Imperial Prince,exclaimed the linguist, affecting astonishment,"yet you have no whale''s milk?"
57861What did she say?
57861What do you do then?
57861What is this?
57861What kind of milk?
57861What,he asked me,"are the most striking examples of artistic feeling that you have noticed in Japan?"
57861Where Mr. Street get that?
57861Where''s Fuji?
57861Who gave you those theories? 57861 Why did she become one, then?"
57861Why do n''t you take it, then?
57861Why do you say''Dear me!''?
57861Why''of course''?
57861Yes, yes,said my venerable friend,"you have seen a good deal; but as to the history and theory of our gardens, what do you know?"
57861You did n''t do anything else for your eyes?
57861You get in it, then, will you?
57861You work hard?
57861A part of Japan, is n''t it?"
57861ARE THE JAPANESE EFFICIENT?
57861And are you not, moreover, that lordly creature, Man, whereas they are merely women?
57861And as we shook hands he threw his arm over my shoulder, demanding:''Why did you stay for a week in New York?
57861And do you see that I might also call it"The Isles of Contradictions"?
57861And would the working hours be so long?
57861Antagonism?
57861Are its dreams disturbed, one wonders, when big brother slides for second- base?
57861But again, if that was it, would people work as hard as these people seem to?
57861But did I?
57861But were you aware that tea is in its highest sense not a beverage, but a creed, a ritual, a philosophy?
57861By what means, then, is the problem to be solved?
57861CHAPTER XXVII_ Our Difficulties with the Language-- The Questionable Humour of Broken Speech--"Do You Striking This Man for That?"
57861Can it be that in this densely populated little country there are more willing hands than there is work for willing hands to do?
57861Can you imagine an Occidental admiral or general, with his tight uniform, heavy braid, and sword, approaching any one upon his hands and knees?
57861Could n''t you tell, just by looking at her, that she was sweet right straight through?"
57861Did n''t the American people like the Japanese people?
57861Do n''t you see?"
57861Do you see why I called Japan"The Isles of Complexities"?
57861Do you striking this man for that?
57861Does he stop for a minute to consider that his advantage is purely one of language?
57861Frequently it stands out of doors] Could any man lose patience with a kurumaya who can get him lost and make him like it?
57861He wants companionship, but when he begins to look for it, what does he discover?
57861Hearing her speaking English, I asked:"How old are you?"
57861How can these people, who still know flowing silken draperies, endure to see their heroes cast in Prince Albert coats and pantaloons?
57861How does it happen that it was in Europe that Japanese prints first came to be highly appreciated as works of art?
57861How long did it take to come all the way from America?
57861In other words:_ What kind of a dancer is he?_ Is not the conclusion obvious?
57861In other words:_ What kind of a dancer is he?_ Is not the conclusion obvious?
57861Is Japanese going to advance a man very far with an American débutante?
57861Is it not then logical to suppose that by following a similar course Japan will likewise prosper?
57861Is n''t it good to eat?"
57861Must work be spread thin in order to provide a task and a living for everyone?
57861Now I ask you, which one of these two men is going to be a success with all those débutantes?
57861Or was it anything at all?
57861Teaism?
57861The Oriental Mind?
57861The following is an imaginary conversation intended to guide the officer in parley with a British bluejacket: What countryman are you?
57861Then, just when I might have begun to wonder if I was ever going to reach my destination, what did I see?
57861What are the essential things for the Japanese to learn about us?
57861What does assimilation mean?
57861What does he told you impolitely?
57861What is Teaism?
57861What is he after?
57861What was America like?
57861What was it we were saying a little while ago about false modesty?"
57861What was the result of all this?
57861What''s the joke?"
57861What''s the matter with it?
57861Where did you learn all this?"
57861Where were we from?
57861Who can sink down upon a cushion with the agility of a little Japanese girl?
57861Why did n''t you come and see me right away?''
57861Why do you strike this jinricksha- man?
57861Why fifteen servants in a house which we would run with six or eight?
57861Why had n''t I made it a mere pleasure trip?
57861Why is he in such a hurry?
57861Why men and women drawing heavy carts that might so much better be drawn by horses or propelled by gasolene?
57861Why several conductors on a street car?
57861Why should he mind antagonism?
57861Why should we waste our time or our critical consideration upon persons who mean nothing to us or whom we dislike?
57861Why so few motors?
57861Why so many motor cars with an assistant sitting on the seat beside the chauffeur?
57861Why these ill- paved narrow roads?
57861Why this waste of labour everywhere?
57861Why this watering of streets with dippers or with little hand- carts pulled by men?
57861Why three servants in an ordinary middle- class home which in America or Europe would be run by one or two?
57861Why, I asked myself, had I so gaily set forth under an agreement to write about Japan?
57861Why, for the matter of that, these delightful rickshas which some jester of an earlier age dubbed"pull- man"cars?
57861Will you tell the Emperor that I shall take the liberty of sending him by you a bear skin?
57861Yet why three men on a locomotive?
54815A secret concerning the new firm?
54815A special train for Tokio?
54815Ah, you wish to sell the information, I suppose?
54815And at its base are the caves?
54815And if we engage you we can become the agents of your English and German firms in this matter of the government contracts?
54815And it was gone when you examined the safe after your father''s death?
54815And run the risk of passing him during the night, eh? 54815 And suppose we do n''t look at it in that light?"
54815And that means a little trifle of twenty thousand pounds, eh?
54815And the other party?
54815And thou escaped from old''Jishin''after all? 54815 And when did you reach that city after leaving my father''s service?"
54815And who will ye take besides me, sir? 54815 And you propose?"
54815Are you afraid?
54815Are you here for the same reason?
54815Are you injured, brother?
54815Bandai- San?
54815But did you see how he acted when he caught sight of us?
54815But does he know them?
54815But first tell me if ye anticipate anything serious? 54815 But how can you?
54815But my friend?
54815But tell us, how did you manage to escape?
54815But what proof can you present? 54815 Can I do anything for you?
54815Can you pay me the money now?
54815Can you tell me exactly where he is, so that I can send and have him arrested?
54815Could yer step back here a bit where we wo n''t be overheard, sir? 54815 Dead?"
54815Did a party composed of foreigners and several coolies with a prisoner pass through here recently?
54815Did they state their destination?
54815Did you hear what that crippled whelp said?
54815Did you notice whether the two other coolies were with them? 54815 Did you see him?"
54815Did you see the others?
54815Do n''t you think this is rather sudden?
54815Do you agree to the conditions?
54815Do you dare to insult my father in his own office? 54815 Do you intend to return to the house, or shall I lock up the bottles?
54815Do you know what that means to us?
54815Do you know what you mean, you puny wretch? 54815 Do you know where Willis Round is?"
54815Do you know who I am?
54815Do you think I am a fool? 54815 Do you think I would tamely submit to arrest and go from here with the certain knowledge that my destination would be a long term in a prison?"
54815Do you think they succeeded in leaving before the shock came?
54815Does it ever reach this far?
54815Fools; what think you?
54815For me to say? 54815 Four hours?"
54815Grant-- what of him?
54815Had n''t we better get out of this house before we talk?
54815Hardly, but----"Grant?
54815Have you a twin brother, sir?
54815Have you anything to prove that you are Grant Manning?
54815Have you heard anything?
54815Have you seen anything of Patrick Cronin?
54815How about the German firms?
54815How are we going to reach the road, I wonder?
54815How dare you interfere? 54815 How do you do, Master Grant?
54815How does the estate stand?
54815How much can we use this quarter?
54815How much farther?
54815How much farther?
54815How under the sun did you get in here?
54815I beg your pardon, sir, but could Oi have a bit of a talk wid yer?
54815I suppose you are afraid of your neck?
54815I suppose you are anxious to know what it is?
54815I suppose you know why I am here?
54815I wonder if there is any way by which they could leave?
54815I wonder what he had to do with that debt?
54815Indeed?
54815Is he dead?
54815Is he one of my countrymen, a youth like yourself, and clad in tweed?
54815Is it as bad as that?
54815Is it possible he has fallen so low as to frequent such a place?
54815Is n''t it at the base of that volcano where those peculiar mud caves are found?
54815Is the information worth twenty pounds, sir?
54815It is to your interest to ruin the new firm before the awarding of the army contracts, eh?
54815It''s mad ye are at me, Oi suppose?
54815May I ask the nature of the contracts?
54815Mr. Udono, will you please accept our bid for the contracts?
54815Nagasaki? 54815 Nattie, when will you ever learn to avoid these disgraceful rows?"
54815Nothing was found of the first receipt?
54815Now what is it?
54815Oh, did n''t we?
54815Phwat is the matter, sir? 54815 Pray tell us, father, have you seen aught of a red- bearded foreigner traveling by horse?"
54815Send me to the offal heap, thou braggart?
54815So Black& Company have wind of the impending contracts, eh?
54815So you are our old bookkeeper after all?
54815So you think there will be no trouble in effecting the capture, eh?
54815So you wish to enter our employ as bookkeeper?
54815Suppose we start at once?
54815Sure and Oi do n''t want to lose th''drink, but----"Yes, or no?
54815That''s the way to the caves,muttered Nattie, then he added, aloud:"How long have they been gone?"
54815Then I am forgiven for disobeying orders, eh?
54815Then how much?
54815Then the scoundrel escaped after all?
54815Then we would have over six thousand dollars to the good if we could prove that father had really paid the English importing merchant?
54815Then you have been away from Japan for some time?
54815Then you have no money?
54815Then you mean to pay it?
54815Then you think?
54815Thought you would give us the slip, eh?
54815To crawl out of the scrape, eh?
54815W- h- hat did you say?
54815Was your father lying upon the floor when you were called?
54815Weel, now,he said, slowly,"can you no explain matters to me?
54815Well, did you ever see the beat of that?
54815Well, do you intend to pay?
54815Well, what do you wish to say? 54815 Well, what is the object of this visit, then?"
54815Well, what of it?
54815Well?
54815What about yourself, brother?
54815What are you afraid of?
54815What are you driving at?
54815What are you talking about?
54815What did you get out of his father and those Germans, Mori? 54815 What do yez want?"
54815What do you mean, dog?
54815What do you mean, you scoundrel?
54815What do you mean? 54815 What do you mean?"
54815What do you mean?
54815What do you think he could have meant?
54815What do you want in here?
54815What do you wish?
54815What does this mean?
54815What have you seen?
54815What have you to do with it?
54815What have you to say, Nattie Manning?
54815What is it, my lad?
54815What is it?
54815What is it?
54815What is it?
54815What is that on the edge of the lake? 54815 What is the matter now?"
54815What is the matter, Manning?
54815What is the matter?
54815What is the matter?
54815What is the matter?
54815What is the meaning of it all, brother?
54815What is the meaning of this, sir?
54815What is your plan?
54815What nonsense is this?
54815What of it?
54815What on earth is the matter with you?
54815What shall it be, back gate or a search through the blessed shanty? 54815 What shall it be, home?"
54815What time does the next train leave for the capital?
54815What was he doing in there, then?
54815What was it, an earthquake?
54815What will we do with Patrick Cronin?
54815What would you do, blowhard?
54815What would you do?
54815What would you give if they were rendered unable to bid for them?
54815What''s a dislocation, anyway? 54815 What''s that you say?"
54815What''s the difference?
54815What''s up now, dad?
54815What, what''s that?
54815When can we leave?
54815When shall we close up?
54815Where are the others?
54815Where are you going?
54815Where art thou now, Raiko? 54815 Where have you been?
54815Where have you been? 54815 Where in the deuce have they gone?"
54815Where is Willis Round?
54815Where is he now?
54815Which are caused by internal convulsions of the volcano, I suppose?
54815Which shall we take?
54815Which way did the scoundrels go?
54815Who was in the office when your father-- er-- when the sad end came?
54815Why did n''t I bring matters to a point in the office? 54815 Why do n''t yez lift that fine- tooth comb thing and go out and fight them?"
54815Why do n''t you come in and rescue your brother, you coward?
54815Why do n''t you storm the castle like the knights of old?
54815Why do n''t you try for the contracts then?
54815Why do you ask? 54815 Why?"
54815Would it do any good to notify the American Consul?
54815Would yer like to capture him?
54815Would you delay us, man?
54815Yes; but you intend to remain here until morning?
54815You do n''t know the name of your antagonist?
54815You do n''t say?
54815You do n''t think he intended to lead us into a trap?
54815You mean about that debt?
54815You refer to the army contracts?
54815You remember Mori Okuma?
54815You think so?
54815Am I right in believing that you are open for valuable contracts?"
54815And through whom?
54815And where is the foreigner, old Red- Beard?"
54815Answer me, yes or no?"
54815Any mention made of purchases?"
54815Are they more brave than we?"
54815As I understand it, you wish me to invest twenty thousand_ yen_ against your experience and the orders on hand?"
54815As they left the craft, Yoritomo leaned over the clumsy rail, and called out, sneeringly:"How about that four hundred_ yen_ and the free pardon?
54815BROTHER, IS IT YOU?"
54815Brother, is it You?"
54815Brother, is it you?"
54815But for what class of articles?"
54815But had n''t we better leave this neighborhood?
54815But how is Ralph?
54815But then would it not be advisable for the sake of future peace to have Round behind prison bars?
54815But what do you intend to do now?"
54815But what in thunder can I do?
54815But where are the fugitives?
54815But where, and how?
54815But who would believe that miracles could happen in this century?
54815By the way, what is your name?"
54815By the way, what was in that letter?"
54815Ca n''t you see that a horse could n''t pass here?
54815Can you pay it to- day?"
54815Can you telegraph from here?"
54815Can you tell me anything of him?
54815Did the fellow really use those words?"
54815Did the old man do any betting?"
54815Did you like this story?
54815Dinner first, eh?
54815Do n''t you think we should feel ashamed?"
54815Do you agree?"
54815Do you know anything about the place?"
54815Do you really mean to say that you have a plan promising success?"
54815Do you think I would leave you and Grant in the lurch?
54815Do you think it is time to get up and circumvent those fools?
54815Has Mr. Grant absented himself before?"
54815Have either of you heard?"
54815Have you ever heard of the firm of Manning& Company, dealers and importing merchants?"
54815He added, sneeringly:"Are you awakening from your''Rip Van Winkle''sleep?
54815He presently gasped:"Who is-- is here?
54815How about bringing him here this afternoon?
54815How did you get in?"
54815How do we know that we were not seen in Yokohama?
54815How does this sound?
54815How is everything in London?"
54815How is it you could find no trace of the payment at the bank or among your canceled checks?
54815How is your shoulder?"
54815How long will it take you to start a special train?"
54815I mean those who were with Ralph at the castle?"
54815I must-- what''s that?"
54815I suppose you have come to beg for time, as usual?"
54815I think-- what is up now?"
54815I wonder what he thinks about the failure of his confederate, Willis Round, to injure us?
54815I wonder what they expected to do after the awarding of the contracts?
54815I wonder where Patrick is?"
54815I wonder where Ralph is?
54815I would have fought for thee if mortal enemies threatened, but what is my puny arm to that of the underground demon?"
54815If Oi----""Then it is''no,''eh?
54815If we had money could we continue the business with any success?"
54815In the meantime how had Nattie and his party fared in their pursuit of the wily Irishman?
54815Is he safe?"
54815Is it Grant-- Grant Manning?"
54815Is it going to sea we are in a train of cars?
54815Is this the new member of the firm?
54815Just then a maudlin voice came from outside:"Phwere is the lock, Oi wonder?
54815Know they not that the demon of the mountain, old''Jishin''himself, lives there?
54815Legitimate expenses, you understand?
54815Men and provisions, eh?
54815Now what are we going to do?"
54815Now what can be his reason?"
54815Now where is Willis Round?"
54815Now where is he?"
54815Okuma?"
54815Patrick Cronin, did ye live to see the day when forty men would scoot from the sight of yer face?"
54815Phwy do n''t yer git fat?
54815Remember the cowardly thrust thou gavest my brother?"
54815Remember the night at the_ matsura_?
54815Round may have stolen the receipt?"
54815Round?"
54815Round?"
54815Round?"
54815Rushing bareheaded into the street, Grant grasped one of the lads by the arm, and exclaimed:"What under the sun does this mean, Nattie?
54815So the Germans are hobnobbing with our esteemed enemy, eh?
54815So you would try to wheedle me with lies?
54815Sumo, who is a good man to send to the nearest town for police?"
54815Suppose Round-- if it were he-- should take it into his head to enter one of the private apartments?
54815Surely you must remember his son, Nattie Manning?"
54815The first question in such a case is, who will it benefit?"
54815The old company has called in native blood, eh?
54815The others----""What of them?"
54815The police are coming at last, eh?
54815They surely could not hope to keep Grant a prisoner for many months?"
54815Was it theft of valuable silks or deliberate incendiarism?
54815What about him?"
54815What absurdity is this?"
54815What are you going to say about this affair?
54815What can he hope to do against the authorities?"
54815What could be the man''s object?
54815What could the fellow mean?
54815What could you do in a row with three or four cutthroats?
54815What did the Blacks agree to pay you?"
54815What do you say?"
54815What do you say?"
54815What do you think about it?"
54815What do you think of it?"
54815What do you think of it?"
54815What do you think of it?"
54815What do you want to come out in this wet for when you have a cozy nook in yon house?
54815What had he learned?
54815What have I to do with it?"
54815What have you seen?"
54815What if the truth should be discovered?
54815What is the cause of this disgraceful row?"
54815What is the matter with all of the old merchants, eh?
54815What kind of a man was he?"
54815What mystery do you mean?"
54815What of him?
54815What part?"
54815What was Nattie''s object in leaving the Manning residence in face of Mori''s warning?
54815What was his object in paying a visit to his enemy at such an hour of the night?
54815What would I do with a vacation?
54815What would you give if the contracts were placed in your way?"
54815When can you see him?
54815When do you want to start, sir?"
54815Where had the man gone?
54815Where is the animal?"
54815Where is the engine that brought the train in a few moments ago?"
54815Whither go you?"
54815Who will take the bet?"
54815Why am I dragged out here like a drunken sailor?
54815Why ca n''t you come also?"
54815Why do you ask these questions?"
54815Why this haste?"
54815Will you mention your suspicions?"
54815Will you please give me a reply?"
54815Willis Round, Cronin, do you intend to abide by Ralph Black''s murderous proposition?"
54815Wo n''t ye make it twenty pounds, sir?"
54815Wonder if I have any matches in my pocket?"
54815Would it really be worth the candle to bring the ex- bookkeeper to justice?
54815Would the excellency call at once?
54815Would the excellency condescend to visit him at his house in a street hard by the Shinto temple?
54815Would you add to our misery?
54815Yes?
54815You Grant Manning?
54815You do not think you could ruin them single- handed?"
54815You have been a prisoner in your time, eh?"
54815You have doubtless heard rumors of trouble with China about Corea?"
54815Your little plan did n''t work, eh?
54815do you know what day this is?"
54815is n''t that provoking?"
54815or why did n''t I strike him down while I had the chance a moment ago?
54815so it''s ye, me bold Nattie?
54815there will be loads of fun, and-- what under the sun is the matter?"
54815where are the backers of the other side?
54815why do I ask such a question?
54815wo n''t they groan in bitterness of spirit when I send over for the money?"
