39199 | In what part of Palma did we reside? |
39199 | Is it an inn? |
39199 | Is the house near? 39199 Is the skipper on board?" |
39199 | Que vale en pesetas? |
39199 | The terms? 39199 Then what was for sale? |
39199 | We were from England, then? |
39199 | Were they the food of the mule who drove the machine? |
39199 | What have you done with yourself? |
39199 | What is the use of learning Spanish? |
39199 | When will the carriage start? |
39199 | Will he throw that dish away when it is empty? |
39199 | Would it be possible to ask the señora to divide the loaf? |
39199 | _ Arroz_ to- day? |
39199 | And if to- morrow finds it still undone-- why, what is the future made up of, if not of an illimitable succession of to- morrows? |
39199 | And in turn we climbed up and, bending over, peeped into the open coffin to see, through intervening glass-- what? |
39199 | And this house of the doctor''s, with its spacious_ salon_, its large dining- room, its many sleeping- apartments? |
39199 | And why did she promise to cut off her beautiful hair? |
39199 | As to the future? |
39199 | Besides, when we had come to see a curious old town, why not stay to look at it? |
39199 | But why not take a vacant house and hire what you need? |
39199 | But, as he said in his irreproachable English,"What can we do? |
39199 | Can you not do it for that?" |
39199 | Can you take us for three pesetas a day?" |
39199 | Could they advise us? |
39199 | Could we see it?" |
39199 | Did they think such an idea was feasible? |
39199 | Do n''t they seem to be enjoying it?" |
39199 | Does the office of caretaker conduce to dyspepsia, or does the enforced leisure of the occupation dispose to hypochondria? |
39199 | How are we going to open it, I wonder?" |
39199 | I wonder if she sells them?" |
39199 | In their absence could she be of any service to our excellencies? |
39199 | Is it not fine?" |
39199 | Is this the way you show them the delicacy of the Spaniard?" |
39199 | Methuen& Co. Ltd. 36 Essex Street W.C. London First Published in 1911 FOREWARNING"I hear you think of spending the winter in the Balearic Islands?" |
39199 | Or is it some inherent faculty that teaches children the edible fruits? |
39199 | Or was Francisca merely afraid that he might prove faithless? |
39199 | Or was it because her lover was ill, or in danger by land or sea? |
39199 | Shall I introduce you?" |
39199 | So we lived in Palma?" |
39199 | Spanish? |
39199 | The captain? |
39199 | Throwing out his hands he said humorously:--"Who knows? |
39199 | To what could the notice refer? |
39199 | Was it to avert the fatal issue of some illness of her own? |
39199 | What could it be? |
39199 | Will that do?" |
39199 | Would it be possible for the Man to do a sketch-- just the smallest jotting-- of Antonia, as a memento of the occasion? |
39199 | Would that suit?" |
39199 | Would there be a chance of our getting a house here?" |
39199 | Would we like to see it? |
39199 | [ Illustration: Deyá]"What is this you do?" |
39199 | said pretty Mrs. Consul,"what about the house the Major left last week? |
39246 | Do you know what it is to be truly spiritual? 39246 Sin el vivo calor, sin el fecundo Rayo de la ilusión consoladora ¿ Que fuera de la vida y del mundo?" |
39246 | Again, if this small state were independent, where would she stand? |
39246 | And in what country but democratic Spain would a bishop stroll out with canons and grandees to while away a friendly hour with a miller? |
39246 | Are the stars not inhabited? |
39246 | At the church door the king met her and escorted her in honor, for was not her husband away fighting the infidel for his monarch? |
39246 | Could these enchanting little people belong to the same race, and live only a hundred and fifty miles away? |
39246 | Did not the Asturian lady, the duenna of the Duchess, remark to Don Quixote that her husband was_ hidalgo como el Rey porque era montañés_? |
39246 | Does he portray a degraded race, finger on lips whispering,"Hush, or you will be overheard"? |
39246 | Does not lack of comprehension of old usages often mean lack of the shaping power of the imagination? |
39246 | Does this not give the key to the Escorial? |
39246 | During the French invasion, Gerona stood a siege as terrific as any in history, yet who of us has heard of it? |
39246 | From whence, let me ask, have come this power of hers and these excessive riches except from the enchantment into which she threw all the world? |
39246 | Had he lived would Spain''s evil day have been averted? |
39246 | Had we met the archæologist of the province, a canon in the Cathedral? |
39246 | Had we seen the asylum near Santiago where the insane are treated with such success that noted cures had been obtained? |
39246 | He feels he is loyal to his God, to his King, and to himself,--what better standards can you have? |
39246 | If Alfonso XIII gives his intelligence and life- blood to his people, who can foresee to what heights this strong, uncontaminated race may climb? |
39246 | Is it any wonder Spain can win affection with her good and her evil lying close beside each other in a grand primitive way? |
39246 | Is that business?" |
39246 | Is the poetry of Juan de la Cruz, Luis de León and the prose of Teresa, the work of souls who feared to adore their God freely? |
39246 | Is there any wonder that a people who can claim two such heroines look at one with fearless eyes? |
39246 | Is this province, Spain''s richest and most progressive, to continue under the Spanish crown, to ally herself with France, or to be independent? |
39246 | It was so cluttered that I could hardly get oriented; where was the nave? |
39246 | Jerusalem, Rome, Santiago,--perhaps this claims too much for the Spanish pilgrimage shrine? |
39246 | Secure you ask: Does peace, Or restless seeking plaint come with your wealth''s increase? |
39246 | Should not a poet be judged by his best lines? |
39246 | Should not this act of farseeing wisdom, be set against his stern treatment of the Moors? |
39246 | So confusing was it I could not at first tell by what door we had entered, where was the east, where was the west end? |
39246 | The chatter and movement made me ask, could this be a Spanish church, where irreverence is unknown? |
39246 | Then the Retreat began,--did we know what"the Exercises"were? |
39246 | Two men from the northern mountains meet:"You too are from Asturias?" |
39246 | We began to ask ourselves if this noisy excitement commemorated a solemn time, what would the following week of the Fair be like? |
39246 | Were you asleep that you did not clap this independent thinker into your capacious dungeons? |
39246 | What is it about Spanish ways that makes most Englishmen so pessimistic over her? |
39246 | What were they doing, these cloistered people? |
39246 | When a race can produce in a short fifty years a Pereda, a Valera, a Menéndez y Pelayo, have we the right to call it spent and out of the running? |
39246 | Who was the soul of this indomitable fortitude? |
39246 | Whoever heard of going faster than twenty miles an hour and what more natural than to wait in a station between trains half a night? |
39246 | Why have so few to- day the old- time spaciousness of vision? |
39246 | Why is not their advice followed? |
39246 | Why must a different justice be meted out to Spain? |
39246 | Why must an image in wig and jewels blind one to the remarkable carved statues found side by side with it? |
39246 | Will not Mr. Gilbert Chesterton go there and study some day her untamable grand old qualities and describe her as she should be described? |
39246 | Will the young king of Spain to- day show the world that Isabella''s heritage is worth the claiming? |
39246 | Will"progress"unsettle it? |
39246 | Would Benedict Arnold be accepted as an authority on the American Revolution? |
39246 | Would Catalonia gain by any of the changes she dreams of? |
39246 | he assured us, too polite to ask the question that showed in his voice,--why were two ladies seeking a dismal spot such as Alcántara? |
39246 | we thought, after the strong old Gothic of Burgos, is Valladolid going to be just barren like its Cathedral and chaotic like its University? |
39246 | which were the transepts? |
10924 | Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? |
10924 | But are not people sick in Quarantine? |
10924 | But how is it that the effendis do not speak Turkish? |
10924 | From there,said François, pointing behind us"Where are you going?" |
10924 | Is it true that the angels carry blunderbusses? |
10924 | That effendi in the blue dress,said he,"is the Bey, is he not?" |
10924 | What do you call running away? |
10924 | What is Quarantine for, then? |
10924 | What is it for? |
10924 | What is the name of this village? |
10924 | Where do you come from? |
10924 | Why do n''t you have the ship headed to the wind? |
10924 | Why does she leave, then? |
10924 | Why will he disturb me? |
10924 | Will no one,I cried in distress,"cast out this devil that has possession of me?" |
10924 | Yes,said F."And the other, with the striped shirt and white turban, is a writer?" |
10924 | ''Oh, is that all?'' |
10924 | ''What do you want?'' |
10924 | ''What does the King want with me?'' |
10924 | ("Is this the way to Moudania? |
10924 | After having performed one of his feats, he turns around with a droll glance at us, as much as to say:"Did you see that?" |
10924 | And: How many leagues from here to the Land of Heavenly Glory?'' |
10924 | Augmented by the rain which had fallen, and which seemed to increase as night came on, how could I hope to cross it on the morrow? |
10924 | But what is this? |
10924 | François and I talked entirely in Arabic, and the old man asked:"Who are these Hadjis?" |
10924 | How can the sea be made smaller? |
10924 | How did Phidias charm the Cerberus of his animal nature to sleep, while his soul entered the Elysian Fields and beheld the forms of heroes? |
10924 | How did Plato philosophize without the pipe? |
10924 | How did gray Homer, sitting on the temple- steps in the Grecian twilights, drive from his heart the bitterness of beggary and blindness? |
10924 | How many arrobas does the moon weigh? |
10924 | I then repeated, with as much distinctness as I could command:"Did-- you-- leave-- Jaffa-- to- day?" |
10924 | I thought;"he thinks he is dying, but what is death to madness? |
10924 | I was sauntering slowly along, asking myself"Is this Jerusalem?" |
10924 | Is there any piece of water more unreasonably, distressingly, disgustingly rough and perverse than the British Channel? |
10924 | It is generally supposed that they were intended as tombs: but of whom? |
10924 | My curiosity was now in a way of being satisfied; the Spirit( demon, shall I not rather say?) |
10924 | Out of fairyland where shall I see again such lovely bowers? |
10924 | Passing through the gate and square of Vivarrambla( may not this name come from the Arabic_ bob er- raml,_ the"gate of the sand? |
10924 | Restraining with difficulty a shout of laughter, I said to him:"Did you leave Jaffa to- day?" |
10924 | Shall I cast myself down headlong? |
10924 | Shall I ever feel it again? |
10924 | The road was well travelled, and by asking everybody we met:"_ Bou yôl Moudania yedermi_?" |
10924 | This is Baalbec: what have you to say? |
10924 | Those snow- white cones, uprearing their sharp spires, and spreading out their broad bases-- what could they be but an encampment of monster tents? |
10924 | Was it a Faun, astray among the hills? |
10924 | Was it possible that I was in Judea? |
10924 | Was this the Holy Land of the Crusades, the soil hallowed by the feet of Christ and his Apostles? |
10924 | What is it that he ca n''t do? |
10924 | When he had put down the lamp, he tried''the door, and asked me:"Have you the key?" |
10924 | Where on the earth shall we find a panorama more magnificent? |
10924 | Who says he ca n''t go as far as that limping horse? |
10924 | Who says he''s not fine gold from head to foot? |
10924 | Will your Excellencies take coffee after your dinner?" |
10924 | have you heard the Mountain? |
10924 | he exclaimed;"did you ever see the like?" |
10924 | is this the dawn of the glorious sun, or is it the full moon?" |
10924 | said I,"do you examine twice on entering Seville?" |
10924 | what can you do?'' |
10924 | where are the ships of Tyre?" |
10924 | why are you running away from me?" |
43705 | And you find the wounds of Cupid more incurable than those of Bellona? |
43705 | Are you serious? |
43705 | But have you not heard from time to time of the welfare of your Manuela? |
43705 | But twelve hours, say you? |
43705 | Dead? |
43705 | Do you smoke? 43705 How did he know I was the owner? |
43705 | Is it_ Etica_? |
43705 | Is n''t there every convey''nance? |
43705 | It is: wherefore? |
43705 | Mad? |
43705 | What absurd sophistry is this? |
43705 | What then, my good Antonio,_ is_ the nature of her malady? |
43705 | What,said I, my patience thoroughly exhausted,"has she embraced Mohammedanism?" |
43705 | Where are we to find money? 43705 Where is my wife?" |
43705 | You are quite certain he does not understand Spanish? |
43705 | _ Disparate!_[136] exclaimed the wife;"what does his_ mapeando_ signify if he is an Englishman? |
43705 | _ Ingles?_demanded she, returning to the charge. |
43705 | _ Quien es?_demanded the soldiers from within. |
43705 | ''What are you at_ now_?'' |
43705 | ''_ Juicio!_ señor,''replied the Mayor;''do you not see that I am at dinner?'' |
43705 | But what right have those men to say, this is just, and that is unlawful? |
43705 | Could a people so noted for honour, chivalry, gratitude, and every known virtue, be guilty of so bare- faced an imposition? |
43705 | Do the trees yearly yield us their fruits by chance? |
43705 | Do you not look forward to behold again to- morrow the bright luminary round which this atom of a world revolves? |
43705 | Has a single_ known_ opera ever been produced there? |
43705 | Has any work of man, however cunningly devised, in like manner withstood the effects of time? |
43705 | He was a wag, however, and answered my"Why do you keep your pigs here?" |
43705 | I asked;"are you sure she is yet unmarried?" |
43705 | I exclaimed,"have I not been pardoned? |
43705 | I exclaimed;"_ Why_ was I born in sin? |
43705 | I hastily demanded--"my child, where is he?" |
43705 | If so, how is it that this accidental atom-- this globe we inhabit, has so long held together_ without_ accident? |
43705 | Is it not true, Don Diego, that that rocky path beyond Alcalà is called the road to the infernal regions?" |
43705 | Is it not true, good father? |
43705 | Is not her church music all borrowed? |
43705 | Is not the protecting hand of the Deity clearly perceptible in the unvarying continuance of these phenomena? |
43705 | Is not the trifling guitar the only instrument the Spaniard is really master of? |
43705 | Is not the_ Sostenuto_ bellow of the_ arriero_ almost the only approach to melody that the peasant ever attempts? |
43705 | Is the punctual return of the seasons a mere casualty? |
43705 | Now the question is, Can the ground about Monda be made to agree with these various premises? |
43705 | Suppose I make another attempt to find out from himself what brings him here?" |
43705 | Tell me, I implore you-- what horrible misfortune has befallen?" |
43705 | The Don kept his seat, and coolly asked, whether I thought they could not make as good saddles, and cut as short tails, in Spain? |
43705 | The superior officer of the party had directed, however, that he should not be ill- treated;"what if he be the son of the_ old wild boar_?" |
43705 | We were at the fork of the roads leading from those two places to_ Casa Vieja_, but on which should we direct our march? |
43705 | What is man, I argued, that I should not despoil him, if he possess that which I covet? |
43705 | What should deter me from taking his life, if he stand between me and that which I desire? |
43705 | What, then, has occasioned this delay?" |
43705 | Where are we to look for security?" |
43705 | Why led to commit crime? |
43705 | [ 137] Is it not the same as if a Spaniard were doing it, only that it will be better done?" |
43705 | [ 63] Are they English? |
43705 | are they not our best friends? |
43705 | exclaimed one of the----''s suite, addressing me,"Is your name Blas Maldonado?" |
43705 | he replied,"why came you not earlier?" |
43705 | how can we make him comfortable?" |
43705 | how could that be? |
43705 | murdered? |
43705 | precisely in the words that an Irish peasant replied to a very similar question, viz.,"But am I to have the company of the pig?" |
43705 | put to him by a friend of mine, who had a billet for a night''s lodging on his cabin: to wit,"_ No hay toda comodidad_?" |
43705 | were the answers given to_ my_ question,"Why not?" |
31532 | An accident, driver? |
31532 | And who is this speculator in bloodshed? |
31532 | By- the- bye,said the Shereefa,"do you know any of those people who write for the papers in London?" |
31532 | Driver, why did you not resist? |
31532 | His Highness understands English? |
31532 | How are you, captain? |
31532 | How is Don Guillermo? |
31532 | Is it true that you pardoned two? |
31532 | Is not that arbitrary? |
31532 | Is the Shereef on friendly terms with the Sultan? |
31532 | Maurice, are there any pretty girls here? |
31532 | Monsieur wants a shallop to go to France? |
31532 | What Don Guillermo? |
31532 | What answer did they give to his application for employment? |
31532 | What are those ruins upon the Spanish shore for? |
31532 | Where are you going, may I ask? |
31532 | Where to now? |
31532 | Who is your friend? |
31532 | Who or what is that gentleman? |
31532 | Who the deuce are you? 31532 Who''ll start the conversation?" |
31532 | Who? 31532 Will he understand you?" |
31532 | Will you give in to them? |
31532 | Your papers, señor? |
31532 | ( to myself mentally)"if the august Muley can not brook an English saddle, what must he think of an English wife? |
31532 | A cry of"Who goes there?" |
31532 | Again came the sentinel''s cry,"What people?" |
31532 | And Santa Cruz? |
31532 | And then I meandered back, and began to ask myself, had Marryat aught to do with the sponsorship of this outpost of the British Empire? |
31532 | Are things better now?" |
31532 | Barbarossa-- Royalist- Republicans-- Squaring a Girl-- At Iron--"Your Papers?" |
31532 | Barbarossa-- Royalist- Republicans-- Squaring a Girl-- At Irun--"Your Papers?" |
31532 | But are not those Republicans who affect that they know how to govern a country primarily and principally to blame? |
31532 | But if he who smites his enemy secretly is accursed, what is he who smites his neighbour and then flees away like a coward in the dark? |
31532 | But is there not something inimitable in the epithet"rebels"? |
31532 | But the son of Israel when he has a taste for finery( and which of them has not?) |
31532 | Cabrera?" |
31532 | Did I not see you take a boat for the_ San Margarita_ at Socoa?" |
31532 | Did I want a shallop? |
31532 | Did not a company of"bhoys"trudge over to Lesaca to offer their services recently? |
31532 | Did they fear that Belcha might take a fancy to their probes and forcipes? |
31532 | Do you wonder that I began weaving a romance? |
31532 | Do you wonder that I followed her with joy? |
31532 | Does the reader reflect how many wars we have had in the pacific half- century which is lapsing? |
31532 | Don Carlos.--"You have served before?" |
31532 | Had these Carlists any glimmer of the sunshine of a victorious issue to their uprising? |
31532 | Have they no consideration for the feelings of others?" |
31532 | He was four months here, and how far did he get into the interior?" |
31532 | How do I know this? |
31532 | How were they to distinguish a neutral or a sympathizer from their foes? |
31532 | In the same company with my brother, perhaps?" |
31532 | Is he not twice and thrice wicked, and to be branded with malediction deeper still? |
31532 | Is it not disgraceful to them? |
31532 | It may be said, why did I not take copious notes in short- hand? |
31532 | No, this is not the Christian, but the Carlist religion''?" |
31532 | Not if fair mysteries like my friend crop up there; but where is she, by- the- way? |
31532 | Now I think of it, there is an inadvisability in my calling them insurgents while in their power; but what phrase am I to employ? |
31532 | Of what were their thoughts-- of home and friends, of the flutters of the casino or the ecstasies of the bull- ring? |
31532 | Or do these Moslems, like some Christians I know, strain at a gnat and swallow a camel? |
31532 | Porqué?" |
31532 | She has been very unhappy, has she not? |
31532 | Still, what were they to do? |
31532 | The Guardia Civil were true to duty, but when the crisis came, what could they do any more than their comrades at Malaga? |
31532 | The association of surcoats of mail and rope slippers is incongruous; but what does that reck? |
31532 | The only question is, Who are the constituted authorities? |
31532 | This may have been a breach of neutrality, but what was I to do? |
31532 | Was it you?" |
31532 | Were they all Republicans? |
31532 | What business had it to be so straight and clean and airy? |
31532 | What could he want to be happy but the love of his people?" |
31532 | What do you want here?" |
31532 | What has that to do with me? |
31532 | What if I had to go to Madrid while such weather as this was brooding? |
31532 | What were these gentlemen to do? |
31532 | What will you? |
31532 | Where did you spring from?" |
31532 | Who dares to deny it? |
31532 | Why does he not repel the impeachment?" |
31532 | Why not again? |
31532 | Why not make pilgrimage to the other? |
31532 | Why should I not visit it? |
31532 | Why should I?" |
43378 | And how many of the_ facciosos_ may there be at Grazalema? |
43378 | And in what force? |
43378 | And is he a man of such determination as report says? |
43378 | And what is_ your_ name, friend? |
43378 | And where did you leave this redoubtable Blas? |
43378 | Blas who, did your excellency say? |
43378 | Can you not,he rejoined,"communicate this to them by letter? |
43378 | Can you write? |
43378 | Did you ever_ see_ me before,demanded my astonished friend,"that you ask me to do this?" |
43378 | Do they smoke? |
43378 | Do you know one Beltran Galindiz? |
43378 | Has he then met the punishment so repeatedly due to his crimes? 43378 His_ fate_? |
43378 | I can probably give you a better account of it than_ they_,said I;"therefore, tell me first what sort of men are they? |
43378 | Is_ he_ faithful to your cause, think you? |
43378 | Tell me first,said I,"do you know those_ gavachos_? |
43378 | That firing must be the skirmishing of Melchor''s party,observed Beltran;"had we not better move on?" |
43378 | Well, Alitéa,said I,"will you return to your father and luxury, or remain to share the poverty of your husband? |
43378 | Were no prisoners made? |
43378 | What description of dance? 43378 What is this?" |
43378 | What want ye of me? |
43378 | When? |
43378 | Where does he say? |
43378 | Who is he,inquired Abenhabuz from within,"that thus unannounced requires entry? |
43378 | Why, I thought you had dispersed them altogether? |
43378 | Yes,_ Señor Critico_,he replied,"but have not houses walls?" |
43378 | You have prudently taken care to have ready the Spanish translation of the French,I observed.--"And so you were yourself in the_ melée_, then?" |
43378 | _ Jesus!_[91]_ Don Carlos_--would exclaim many of my bright- eyed acquaintances--"why were you not at the Bull fight?" |
43378 | _ My companions said to me,''Do you visit her monument?'' 43378 _ Q''uest ce qu''il dit?_"asked the governor, turning to his aide- de- camp. |
43378 | --"And who the deuce is Hoodah?" |
43378 | Are not her shores studded with ruins of the Phoenicians, Carthagenians, and Romans? |
43378 | But how know you,_ Tio_, that his father joined the French?" |
43378 | But how should_ they_ know of my arrival? |
43378 | But what human works are all perfect? |
43378 | But what will not envy stoop to do? |
43378 | But, discovering by our next, more explicit demand,"what can you give us?" |
43378 | Can she not boast of owning monuments of the demi- god Hercules,[2] and other conquerors of the most remote antiquity? |
43378 | Could Alonzo''s illness be feigned? |
43378 | Could I have acted otherwise? |
43378 | Could any sway be more absolute than that of the Spanish sovereigns of the House of Hapsburg? |
43378 | Could it be a mere device of the French to detain me in the_ guet à pans_ of Grazalema, whilst they surrounded me? |
43378 | Did the extraordinary influx of the precious ores, consequent on the discovery of America, occasion her gradual downfall? |
43378 | Did the impolitic expulsion of the Jews and Moors from her territory lead to it? |
43378 | Does the blighting influence of Popery reply to the two- fold query? |
43378 | Does the vacillating rule of Despotism solve the problem? |
43378 | Has his last act of disloyalty to his king and country-- of which I have had tidings-- brought him to the gallows?" |
43378 | Has she not noble works of art of yet more recent times than her Moorish palaces to boast of? |
43378 | I almost fear, however, to ask-- didst thou receive my message?" |
43378 | I ejaculated,"does the old villain attempt to clear his own conscience by accusing me, who have been the innocent victim of his crimes? |
43378 | I exclaimed,"did he not join the French army with his father?" |
43378 | Is it a vile renegade that taunts me with the disfigurement of an honourable wound? |
43378 | Is not the Spanish peninsula one of the most beautiful as well as richest countries in the world? |
43378 | May she not proudly point to the splendid gothic edifices raised since her release from the Mussulman yoke? |
43378 | Pray tell me;_ when_ did this happen? |
43378 | Say, I beseech you, stranger, who are you?" |
43378 | Suppose, however, as their accounts differ so widely, we first have our two spies confronted?" |
43378 | That would be----""But your religion?" |
43378 | The landlady''s reply to our first question,"what can we have?" |
43378 | They were such, nevertheless, as I could depend upon whilst fortune favoured me; and what is friendship after all? |
43378 | Think you a couple of resolute fellows could master them readily?" |
43378 | Very true-- but surely some allowance is due, considering their want of such breakneck sights as horse- races and steeple- chases? |
43378 | Was it astonishing,_ caballeros_, that such black ingratitude should meet with a heavy punishment? |
43378 | Was it in human nature to spurn so confiding, so affectionate a being? |
43378 | Was it possible that my own secretary-- the son of my adoption-- Pépé el_ Alamin_--was it possible that_ he_ would betray me? |
43378 | Was life any longer worth preserving? |
43378 | Was not that true, Caballeros? |
43378 | Was the industrious husbandman to be contented with rags and tatters, whilst lazy priests were clothed in silks and brocade? |
43378 | What keeps her-- gifted as she is by nature with all the germs of prosperity-- in her present state of degradation? |
43378 | What sound is that? |
43378 | Who can fully answer the yet more simple questions-- What_ led_ to the downfall of Spain? |
43378 | Who can_ now_ foresee the day that, phoenix- like, she may arise from her ashes? |
43378 | Who will deny that these things called for a change in the institutions of my country? |
43378 | Will you, therefore, oblige me by carrying them in for me, and lodging them at the house of---- and Co.?" |
43378 | Would it be possible to frame a more liberal constitution than that of 1820? |
43378 | You must, however, I fear, be ill provided with cavalry, since you have been so soon sent again on duty after such sharp service?" |
43378 | [ 146] Dost thou know me? |
43378 | [ 162] Tell him I have some friends with me-- English_ officers_; is it not so?" |
43378 | [ 166]"_ What about Religion? |
43378 | [ 186] I interrupted the Señor Blas here, asking him if Valencia was not an_ open city_? |
43378 | [ 196] Literally,_ do you expend tobacco_? |
43378 | [ 66] Here, brother Sancho, we may thrust our hands( arms?) |
43378 | _ bought_?" |
43378 | and his intention to betray me? |
43378 | and what became of the pious man?" |
43378 | asked the governor, addressing his secretary--"_à Meca? |
43378 | but I answered,''Where but in my heart should she have a tomb? |
43378 | did that miscreant add to his crimes by joining the ranks of the vile enemies of our country? |
43378 | ejaculated Don Benito;"has the infamous villain crowned all his iniquities by so horrible a crime?" |
43378 | exclaimed the youth,"is it a Spaniard who pillages a dying countryman? |
43378 | he exclaimed, starting upon his legs, as if newly invigorated with the breath of life;"is it my Fernando? |
43378 | ne m''avez vous pas dit cela auparavant?_""Because I was never asked the question, please your excellency." |
43378 | or, that has walked the streets of London for a week, since cabs and omnibuses have been introduced? |
43378 | replied he;"then to answer you with another proverb--''_à perro viejo no has tus tus_''[190]--how can I serve you?" |
43378 | said I,"and what has he been about?" |
43378 | sans phrases!_ you know this Blas well?" |
43378 | to the incomparable paintings of the divine Murillo? |
43378 | to the statuary of a Cano? |
43378 | what further proof is required of his being so? |
18764 | ''And from Mekka to Jerusalem?'' 18764 ''And thence to the second heaven?'' |
18764 | ''And you are really circumcised? 18764 ''Canst thou play chess?'' |
18764 | ''Did he find his bed still warm on his return?'' 18764 ''Dost thou think such a thing possible; to travel three thousand five hundred years and back, and find one''s bed still warm on returning?'' |
18764 | ''How long did this take?'' 18764 ''In his famous ride on El Borak[ Lightning] where did Mohammed go?'' |
18764 | ''Is he mad?'' 18764 ''Then, wilt thou play with me?'' |
18764 | ''Thence to the fifth?'' 18764 ''Thence to the fourth?'' |
18764 | ''Thence to the seventh?'' 18764 ''Thence to the sixth?'' |
18764 | ''Thence to the third?'' 18764 ''Who''s there?'' |
18764 | ''Why is the defendant not here?'' 18764 ''Wouldst thou know them if you sawst them?'' |
18764 | And in the night time? |
18764 | And what happens to him in the day time? |
18764 | And when abroad? |
18764 | And when at home? |
18764 | But how does this poor fellow come in for it? |
18764 | But what has that to do with the gun? |
18764 | Canst read, O Moses? |
18764 | Dost suppose that my master is a dog of a Nazarene, that he should keep his word to thee? 18764 Enough? |
18764 | For how much? |
18764 | How can I befriend you? |
18764 | How did he die? |
18764 | How did you lose your property? |
18764 | How doest thou? |
18764 | How dost thou find thyself this morning? |
18764 | How fares thy house? |
18764 | Is any incredulous here? 18764 Is it not so?" |
18764 | Is nothing wrong with thee? |
18764 | Is that So- and- so? |
18764 | My home? 18764 No ill, praise God; and thyself, O Sáïd?" |
18764 | Now, my friends, which among you will do business with the palms of all these faithful ones? 18764 Now, where is the good man and true who reveres the name of this holy one? |
18764 | Oh, indeed, so you like the Christians? |
18764 | So? 18764 The kaïd was there, and when he saw us he exclaimed,''There you are, are you? |
18764 | Thou know''st my complaint and my only cure: Why, then, wilt thou heal me not? 18764 Well, how now?" |
18764 | Well, what dost thou want? |
18764 | What for? |
18764 | What will you do with your palace when you leave it? |
18764 | What? 18764 Who art thou?" |
18764 | Who is willing to yield himself wholly and entirely to Mulai Abd el Káder? 18764 Who says they are harmless? |
18764 | Who wishes to have a good conscience and a clean heart? 18764 Why run,"they ask,"when you might just as well walk? |
18764 | Wonderest thou still, O Bashador, that I prefer the Nazarenes, and wish there were more of them in the country? 18764 _ Have_ I? |
18764 | ''Dost thou think me a fool, to come here to discuss the science of religion, and to be put off with a game of chess?'' |
18764 | ''O victorious of God,''they with one voice replied,''since God, the High and Blessed, is our King, what have we to fear? |
18764 | ''Who mayest_ thou_ be,''they asked,''who dost not wish peace to the Resigned?'' |
18764 | ("And when at home?'') |
18764 | = FOREWORD= Which of us has yet forgotten that first day when we set foot in Barbary? |
18764 | A creaky voice here breaks in from round the corner--"Hast thou not a copper for the sake of the Lord?" |
18764 | A piece is leisurely handed down, and the customer inquires in a disparaging tone,"How much?" |
18764 | After the usual salutations have been exchanged, the eager inquiry is made,"Is there a steamer yet?" |
18764 | Against such methods who can compete? |
18764 | And in the majority of cases there is at least a question: What were the victims doing there? |
18764 | And what has Mulai Abd El Azîz replied to French complaints and demands respecting the now historical dismissal of the military_ attachés_? |
18764 | And why, lying down, keep your eyes open?" |
18764 | As already agreed, the Nazarene was the first to question:"''How far is it from the Earth to the first heaven?'' |
18764 | But as this is only a means to an end, who can tell what that may be? |
18764 | But what can one expect with such a standard of honour? |
18764 | But what chances have they? |
18764 | Can they have realized what it all means? |
18764 | Can we shut our eyes to the deliberate provocations they are giving the Makhzen in almost every part of the sultanate? |
18764 | Could ever bell send thrill like that? |
18764 | Did they kill your father?" |
18764 | Had not thirty- four correspondents descended on Tangier alone, each with expenses to meet? |
18764 | Had they not done so, who would answer for the consequences? |
18764 | How can I tell thee where that was, when I was brought away so early? |
18764 | How convince such people that brigandage is an art unknown south of the Oom Rabya? |
18764 | How could it be otherwise? |
18764 | I am often asked,"What would a Moor think of this?" |
18764 | In spite of all our comfortable ca nt about justice to less powerful races, who in England cares about justice to Morocco and her Sultan? |
18764 | Is it thus thou beginnest the world? |
18764 | It was a fine present, was it not, Bashador? |
18764 | Now, who knows? |
18764 | Presently your scattered thoughts are recalled by a chirping voice from within--"Who''s that?" |
18764 | Shall I try it on thee?" |
18764 | That the prayer of the Shluh, when a Nazarene visits their land, is that nothing may happen to bring trouble on the clan? |
18764 | The inscription on their marble tomb in the church above tells how that the Moors having been conquered and heresy stamped out(? |
18764 | Then comes a policeman, a makházni, who seats himself amid a shower of salutations--"Hast thou any more of those selháms"( hooded cloaks)? |
18764 | What avails it that grace of a generation''s span is allowed them, that they may not individually suffer from the change? |
18764 | What can you give me?" |
18764 | What is the pleasure of my Lord?" |
18764 | What is your trouble?" |
18764 | What might he not do next? |
18764 | What more could be wished? |
18764 | What next?" |
18764 | When both cease for lack of breath, after a brief pause the new arrival asks,"Have you any of that''Merican?" |
18764 | Where else did Rome find so near a match, and what wars cost her more than did those of Africa? |
18764 | Where would they have stopped? |
18764 | Who has heard, who wants to hear, the Moorish side of the question? |
18764 | Who says their fangs are extracted?" |
18764 | Who will dedicate himself from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head? |
18764 | Who will say a prayer to Mulai Abd el Káder?" |
18764 | Why should we trouble them? |
18764 | Why sit, when lying down gives so much more rest? |
18764 | Why stand, when sitting is so much less fatiguing? |
18764 | Why walk, when standing would do? |
18764 | Will they never cease? |
18764 | Would they ever have been driven out, or would St. Paul''s have been a second Kûtûbîya, and Westminster a Karûeeïn? |
18764 | _ Sultan._"How much does he ask?" |
18764 | _ Sultan._"Is there anything I can do for such good friends?" |
18764 | _ Sultan._"What sort of place is that on the Marshan?" |
18764 | not drink it?" |
18764 | what is that weird, low sound which strikes upon our ear and interrupts our musings? |
40776 | ''Frou- Frou''? |
40776 | And the guitar I made for you,he said, turning to Perez,"you gave it to S----?" |
40776 | Are you artists? |
40776 | Are you here? |
40776 | Books? |
40776 | But do n''t you understand? 40776 But is there no water at all?" |
40776 | But why did you arrest him? |
40776 | But,he persisted,"you do n''t mean to say that you are that kind of persons? |
40776 | But,said Jan at last to Coneni,"can you not dance a Spanish dance?" |
40776 | But,said Luis,"have you not by chance a disc of Spanish music? |
40776 | But,said the doctor''s wife in amazement,"if you wish to find out something about anybody, how do you do so? |
40776 | But,they said,"we wonder if she knows where to come for her things when she does arrive?" |
40776 | C''est très amusant, hein? |
40776 | Did you see that? |
40776 | Do you know''Frou- Frou''? |
40776 | Do you want milk? 40776 From whom did I learn, Señor? |
40776 | Good heavens,thought we,"is that all?" |
40776 | Good tobacco from Gibraltar,growled"Swart";"will you buy?" |
40776 | How much is that? |
40776 | In Madrid, eh? 40776 Les Gusta? |
40776 | No hay extraordinario? |
40776 | Oh, do n''t you know? 40776 Oh, no,"replied Antonio;"did n''t I tell you that she had smallpox? |
40776 | Opium? |
40776 | Puede usted recomendarme una fonda barata? |
40776 | Señor,said one of Emilio''s friends,"what can I do for you? |
40776 | Señora,she exclaimed,"que es eso? |
40776 | Six what? |
40776 | Tell me,he exclaimed,"what do you think of the playing of Don Ambrosio?" |
40776 | Three''fat dogs''? |
40776 | We want a cheap one, understand? |
40776 | Well,answered the gendarme with a beard,"what of it? |
40776 | What are those? |
40776 | What do you want me to do, then? |
40776 | What do you want? |
40776 | What is she doing? |
40776 | What is the matter? |
40776 | What, then, can those do who are unable or unwilling to work? |
40776 | Where are you going now? |
40776 | Where is Blas? |
40776 | Where, then, does it branch off? |
40776 | Who are these people? |
40776 | Who will come with me? |
40776 | Why could n''t you bring them to the proper entrance? |
40776 | Why did n''t you bring your own? |
40776 | Why did n''t you tell me before? 40776 Why do you do this? |
40776 | Why have you come to my dram shop? |
40776 | Why not? 40776 Why?" |
40776 | You are book people? |
40776 | Adam bit the apple, and we pay his debts, but why load ourselves with compound interest at many hundreds per cent.? |
40776 | After all was over they said to us:"Was n''t it a beautiful fiesta?" |
40776 | And how do you carry on conversations?" |
40776 | And were n''t you terribly frightened yesterday, going down into the bulls? |
40776 | Are you doing this for the cinematograph? |
40776 | Are your father and mother alive? |
40776 | But if you say something different from''cebollas,''how can I know that you need cebollas?" |
40776 | But where then was the Spanish dancing? |
40776 | Ca n''t you hear? |
40776 | Ca n''t you see that in a minute you''ll bring the whole place down? |
40776 | Come, who will dance with me?" |
40776 | Did you know that?" |
40776 | Do n''t you understand what we say?" |
40776 | Do you by any chance know of a house?" |
40776 | Do you like Spanish food? |
40776 | Do you like painting? |
40776 | Eh?" |

40776 | Had this infernal European mechanical civilization quite driven all feeling from the land? |
40776 | Have you any milk-- no?" |
40776 | Have you got any children? |
40776 | Have you heard my piece which represents a battle? |
40776 | He spoke in French:[ Illustration]"What can I do for you?" |

40776 | How can one describe the revulsion? |

40776 | How much has one not dreamed of southern romance beneath skies of ultramarine? |
40776 | How old are you? |
40776 | Hum"--he looked at Conchita--"I suppose she is going to see him now?" |
40776 | I asked:"What time is lunch?" |
40776 | I got a strong hold over my tongue, and said slowly in Spanish:"Tiene cebollas? |
40776 | I tried once not to answer, but my audience then demanded:"Are you deaf? |
40776 | If so, how much was one to bribe, and how was one to do it? |
40776 | If you have no children, as we have too many, would you like a baby to take away with you? |
40776 | In the face of a human catastrophe who could paint pictures? |
40776 | Is it to make picture postcards from? |
40776 | Is n''t this moment exciting?" |
40776 | It''s life, is n''t it?" |
40776 | Luis said in a low murmur:"Does n''t your heart beat? |
40776 | Not eat seventeen pesetas worth when one had paid for it? |
40776 | Père Chicot said gruffly,"What are almond shells for?" |
40776 | Shall we ask him now?" |
40776 | Somebody went on:"And are those all you have?" |
40776 | Then, to take off the raw edge left by the chaffering, Jan said:"I do n''t suppose you get many foreigners here, Señor?" |
40776 | Was there not a chance then that it was alcoholic? |
40776 | We had for some days bought candles at this shop, but Mrs. Garcia said:"Why do you spend all this money on candles? |
40776 | Were these things contraband? |
40776 | Were you not terribly frightened? |
40776 | What is a''royal''?" |
40776 | What was all this; where the sierras of its youth; into what strange place had it come? |
40776 | What was it? |
40776 | What''s the good of playing if nobody dances?" |
40776 | What''s the matter? |
40776 | What? |
40776 | What? |
40776 | When the drawing was finished, the old man exclaimed:"But that is excellent; will you not give it to me, Señor?" |
40776 | Where were the jotas, the malagueñas, the baturras? |
40776 | Who would like to win a magnificent picture, framed complete for ten chances a penny?" |

40776 | Why should not they do as they like? |
40776 | Will you not come down a little, and then we could settle the matter?" |
40776 | You may walk into any house or garden if moved to do so by curiosity if you, previous to entering, utter the magic formula:"Se pueda entrar? |

38767 | And you owned up that he was a Protestant? 38767 Are there burial services for these?" |
38767 | But do n''t you think she may have been a trifle more agreeable? |
38767 | But what am I to do with them? |
38767 | But what can one do in this country? |
38767 | But what country uses the slaughter- house as a spectacle and a sport? 38767 But what use in revolutions? |
38767 | But why should I give you a_ peseta_? |

38767 | What of it? |
38767 | What use to care for Spain? 38767 What will you give him, matarile, rile, rile? |
38767 | What''s your price? |
38767 | When does that boat start? |
38767 | Who is the little pigeon, Black and white together, That speaks so well without a tongue And flies without a feather? |
38767 | Who were the Christians in that circus? |
38767 | Why to Castile For your fortune go? 38767 Will no one tell me what she sings? |
38767 | Will you buy a little jar of honey? |
38767 | Will you eat? |
38767 | Work, sir? |
38767 | Would n''t you like some roses? 38767 Would n''t you rather have a cigarette?" |
38767 | Would you like to go with us to the picture gallery this afternoon? |
38767 | Yes, it is all a pack of lies,said a thoughtful Catholic,"but what is one to do? |
38767 | You admire the Alhambra? 38767 You are English?" |
38767 | You are always glad of your choice? 38767 You are cold? |
38767 | You have a book and can read,she said,"and you will understand it all, but what can I understand? |
38767 | You will let us have the two at seven_ pesetas_, señor? |
38767 | You wish them clean, all of them? |
38767 | Your little honey- jars are good? |
38767 | _ A la limón, á la limón!_ What kind of money may yours be? 38767 _ Ambó, ató, matarile, rile, rile? |
38767 | ''A candle here?'' |
38767 | ''And how does he call his beautiful dame?'' |
38767 | ''Oh, what are the tidings that you bear?'' |
38767 | ''What wilt thou give me, sailor, sailor, If I rescue thee?'' |
38767 | ''Where is light?'' |
38767 | ''Who''re thy playmates way up there?'' |
38767 | ''Will you come with me, my Rosebud?'' |
38767 | A Castilian mother plays Peek- a- boo with her baby quite as an English mother does, except that the syllables are_ Cú? |
38767 | A maid, leaning over the railing of an upper story, would call down the challenge inherited from good old fighting times,"Who comes here?" |
38767 | A man can not believe in religion-- and yet how to live without it? |
38767 | After all, what was the significance of that assembled host? |
38767 | Afterward? |
38767 | Ambó, ató, matarile, rile, ron?_ 1. |
38767 | And as for Cipriano''s definition of God-- it is good, yes; it is great, yes; but who can shut God into a definition? |
38767 | And how did mortal hand ever achieve the intricate, curling, unfolding, blossoming marvel of those capitals? |
38767 | And the deer? |
38767 | And their faces darkened as if a storm- cloud had blown over from the Sierras?" |
38767 | And what have those staring stone faces above that antique doorway looked upon to turn them haggard with horror? |
38767 | And what was the meaning of that long line of roughs, stretching far out from the third- class ticket office? |
38767 | And where are they? |
38767 | And who save kings, Wambas and Rodericks, Sanchos, Alfonsos, and Fernandos, should mount these magnificent stairways? |
38767 | And why do I not work for that new Spain? |
38767 | And why has the Queen never seen the Alhambra? |
38767 | Another child, on the outside, runs around and around the ring, singing:--"Who are these chatterers? |
38767 | Any fine morning they may all come clattering out into the_ Plaza de Armas_--and where will the United States be then? |
38767 | Are stolen cheeses sweet-- O?" |
38767 | Are we to sit here all the night for such stingy shows as that?" |
38767 | Ashamed? |
38767 | But as to the meeting itself, what was it all about? |
38767 | But how to help it? |
38767 | But if she could drop her prejudices then to be at one with the feeling of her capital, why not now? |
38767 | But is it not good while it lasts?" |
38767 | But is it? |
38767 | But troubled? |
38767 | But what of that? |
38767 | But who can understand this ever baffling Spain? |
38767 | But why should I pity the bulls, when they are mad with battle? |
38767 | But why was the station so jammed and crammed with broad- hatted Spaniards? |
38767 | But why? |
38767 | Did he hope to keep me chasing after those bands all the forenoon? |
38767 | Do the Spanish painters of to- day derive only from Goya and Ribera? |
38767 | Do you not have slaughter- houses in America? |
38767 | Do you not understand? |
38767 | Do you see the peace of Christ in the faces on the Paris streets? |
38767 | Does not the stag suffer more in his flight than the bull in his struggle? |
38767 | Even, if you will pardon the illustration, in the deliverance of the Filipinos from Spanish tyranny?" |
38767 | Fifty_ centimos_? |
38767 | For how can cadet, This side of Heaven, Keep a wife On his dollars seven? |
38767 | Grasshopper dear, how could I say no? |
38767 | Had I not bethought me that, even in the ecclesiastical centre of Spain and on this solemn festival, there might be peril for a stranger''s purse? |
38767 | He had saved her neighbor''s son; would he not save hers? |
38767 | Hens? |
38767 | His may seem to the Yankee onlooker but a losing play, and yet-- who knows? |
38767 | How can I buy enough? |
38767 | How far by idle curiosity, by the Spanish passion for pomps and shows, and, above all, for a crowd, by that strange Spanish delight in_ mucha gente_? |
38767 | How far was it drawn by devotion to the man, and how far by devotion to the idea for which he stood? |
38767 | How had we lived so long without it? |
38767 | How many shirts Have you woven of rain? |
38767 | How may a man work? |
38767 | I started from my first doze at some hubbub of arrival to ask drowsily,"Is this Madrid?" |
38767 | I think that''s too dear, do n''t you?" |
38767 | If you turn to your attendant Spaniard and ask,_ sotto voce_,"But is this truly the Gypsy King?" |
38767 | If you would go yourself-- just once-- no? |
38767 | In nature, perhaps? |
38767 | In religious Seville the dialogue runs:--"''A candle here?'' |
38767 | In society, perhaps? |
38767 | Is it always no? |
38767 | Is it more religious to sit dull and dismal by the fire? |
38767 | Is it on candle- flame Butterfly settles? |
38767 | Is it worth the toothache? |
38767 | Is the express gone?" |
38767 | It takes time, but if time is filled with human kindliness and social courtesies, why not? |
38767 | Keep thy wife and keep thy daughters, What care I for them? |
38767 | Ladies and gentlemen, will you please walk out to dinner?" |
38767 | Life is very sweet, brother; who would wish to die?'' |
38767 | Maxims on love, culled chiefly from French authorities, are succeeded by an eighteenth- century love- catechism:--"_ Question._ Art thou a lover? |
38767 | My sister''s grave is pretty, is it not? |
38767 | No Rare Ben Jonson has thundered in his ears:--"Art thou a man? |
38767 | Now is the Pink your leader, Or go you with the Rose? |
38767 | Now is the Rose your leader, Or go you with the Pink? |
38767 | Now, truly, truly, were you not the least bit frightened that morning of the battle?" |
38767 | Of the art galleries, who can say enough? |
38767 | Oh,''tis a secret, The fourth? |
38767 | One day a mischievous impulse led me to inquire, in connection with a chat about the Escorial,"And how do you like Philip II?" |
38767 | Or shall we put thee in a sugar- bowl and send thee back to mamma?" |
38767 | Right or wrong? |
38767 | Seventy- five_ centimos_? |
38767 | Should a king dictate the fashion of a man''s garments? |
38767 | Sir Priest, Sir Priest, now tell us aright, In whose house did you sleep last night? |
38767 | Sixty_ centimos_? |
38767 | That is not so bad a way to die, is it? |
38767 | The sons? |
38767 | Then a customer wanders by, asking,"Who sells honey- jars?" |
38767 | This or the other? |
38767 | Titirinela, bread and cheese:''What is your father''s worshipful name?'' |
38767 | To practise such a servile kind of life? |
38767 | True or false? |
38767 | Was he not ashamed and troubled? |
38767 | We approached a factory and asked of the workman at the entrance,"What do you manufacture here?" |
38767 | We had a hundred reasons for lingering-- but what are reasons? |
38767 | Were the children troublesome to- day?" |
38767 | What are these creatures, to be punished so?" |
38767 | What can the rabble know of the mysterious compoundings and touchings from which sprang these splendors of color that outshine the centuries? |
38767 | What country outblooms Andalusia?" |
38767 | What do friars do? |
38767 | What do you want, matarile, rile, ron? |
38767 | What enemy has he now to guard against with that array of bolts and bars? |
38767 | What gives thy spirit pain? |
38767 | What is time for? |
38767 | What matter? |
38767 | What more does a mortal want? |
38767 | What should it be? |
38767 | What use in anything? |
38767 | What will the devil say to that? |
38767 | What will we play? |
38767 | What will you give him, matarile, rile, ron? |
38767 | What wo n''t the rascals dare? |
38767 | Where art thou, on the wing?'' |
38767 | Where is the rain? |
38767 | Where may it be? |
38767 | Where was the army of Isabel II defeated? |
38767 | Where were the stately ranks of Montserrat? |
38767 | Whither away?'' |
38767 | Who cares? |
38767 | Who could remember dollars? |
38767 | Who cut them, who? |
38767 | Who dares to tread-- O Within the shadow?" |
38767 | Who has not heard of that unlucky woman, who, after spinning late and long, stepped to the window for a breath of air exactly at twelve o''clock? |
38767 | Who knows where Roderick sleeps? |
38767 | Who shall draw the line between faith and superstition? |
38767 | Who washed my handkerchief? |
38767 | Who were we that would creep into Compostela de Santiago under cover of night, in an irregular conveyance piled high with trunks and boxes? |
38767 | Who will eat them up? |
38767 | Who''ll bring a taper For the Blind Hen? |
38767 | Why is that good? |
38767 | Why not take the cab for the hour and look up a procession on our way to the station? |
38767 | Why should any one think that Spaniards are cruel?" |
38767 | Why should ladies be going to Galicia? |
38767 | Why under the fanciful moon should I set my heart on Calderon? |
38767 | Why?'' |
38767 | Will all the dexterity of foot- police and mounted guards ever succeed in disentangling this snarl of equipages? |
38767 | Will no one give us word of him? |
38767 | Will you not do your humble servant the honor of coming to- morrow afternoon?" |
38767 | Will you take my cloak? |
38767 | Would it never end? |
38767 | Yet some pain is necessary in everything, is it not? |
38767 | Yet when the devil has that soul, will he find it made of gold?" |
38767 | You are a heretic, and like my figure, do you not? |
38767 | You are tired? |
38767 | You never miss the friends of your childhood?" |
38767 | _ Chorus._"Who would say that the charcoal woman, Sooty, sooty charcoal woman, In all the city and all the land Could find a lover to kiss her hand? |
38767 | _ Lily._ Then with whom did you make your bed? |
38767 | _ Little Mary._ What''s your bidding, mother dear? |
38767 | _ Little Mary._ What''s your bidding, mother dear? |

38767 | _ Rose._ Then with whom did you make your bed? |
38767 | and sham''st thou not to beg? |
33833 | Ah, you are going into the church? |
33833 | Alphonse, how can you look upon that face, which has the divine image upon it and the divine glory, and be sad? |
33833 | And Rosalie? 33833 And had the enterprising pair taken nothing but the keys?" |
33833 | And have you seen no ghost since we left? |
33833 | And now, señor, do you think that I could let well alone: or, rather, that fortune could still turn to me a smiling face? 33833 And suppose Caro had turned his back upon him?" |
33833 | And the bones of the hermit-- where are they? |
33833 | And the parents? |
33833 | And the skeletons? |
33833 | And the waiter? |
33833 | And when are you going to be married? |
33833 | And who knows? 33833 And you also look upon it in this light?" |
33833 | And you love the donkeys, we hear? |
33833 | And you never regret the choice you have made? 33833 And you really love it?" |
33833 | And you would rather put up with the grapes and the oranges in the market- place? |
33833 | And your lover? 33833 Are the people of Gerona poetical?" |
33833 | Are these donkeys all your living? |
33833 | Are those wedding people still at it? |
33833 | Are we not very much like boys robbing an orchard, Francisco? |
33833 | Are you entering the cathedral? |
33833 | Are you equal to a vigil? 33833 Beat her?" |
33833 | But are they not in purgatory? |
33833 | But life is not quite such hard lines with you, Miguella? |
33833 | But our luggage? 33833 But what brings you here? |
33833 | But what do you mean? |
33833 | But where are they prepared? |
33833 | But where is the supplement? 33833 But where was the honey?" |
33833 | But why the Panama Canal? |
33833 | But you,we observed, feeling the question a delicate one,"why have you never married? |
33833 | Can I be of any service to you in a place where I am very much at home? |
33833 | Can a prophet come out of Galilee? |
33833 | Can a prophet come out of Galilee? |
33833 | Can a prophet come out of Galilee? |
33833 | Can she be the mother of that lovely girl? 33833 Can this be true?" |
33833 | Can you not guess? |
33833 | Can you transfer the power to others? |
33833 | Charm, señor? 33833 Did you ever see such outlines, such a vision of beauty? |
33833 | Did your father ever cane his wife? |
33833 | Do you call that music? |
33833 | Do you mean to ask if they write poetry, like Dante and Shakespeare? 33833 Do you not remember taking two strangers through the streets of Burgos more than a year ago, and seeing them safely to their door?" |
33833 | Do you think I can be troubled with luggage on such a night as this? 33833 Do you think so?" |
33833 | Do you want to enter also? |
33833 | Do you wonder at my frugal living when I hear of these wrecked lives? 33833 Does your wife beat you?" |
33833 | For what reason? |
33833 | From the singular likeness,she said,"I think you must be related to the Duke de Nevada in Madrid? |
33833 | Gentlemen,in his deepest diapason,"what is the meaning of this? |
33833 | Has Loretta not told you that? |
33833 | Has your wife long been blind? |
33833 | Have you any children? |
33833 | Have you come to see me? |
33833 | Have you forgotten us? |
33833 | Have you never heard him speak of the Señor de Costello? |
33833 | Have you never heard of Esau? |
33833 | How did you leave Burgos? |
33833 | How is it that you, a Frenchman, come to be living on Spanish ground? |
33833 | How is it you are allowed so much freedom? |
33833 | How is this, ladies? |
33833 | How often do you wash? |
33833 | How shall you do it? |
33833 | Hugo, have you dined? |
33833 | In want? 33833 Is he your wonderful midnight player?" |
33833 | Is it always so quiet and deserted? |
33833 | Is it possible? |
33833 | Is there any legend connected with its origin? |
33833 | It is a fast- day,he said;"how can I turn it into a feast?" |
33833 | It is an annual fair, then? |
33833 | Juanita, is my breakfast ready? |
33833 | May we ask? 33833 Monsieur donc knows the St. Julien? |
33833 | Not even as ghosts? |
33833 | Now would you like to go into the church and have some music? 33833 Of what are you thinking?" |
33833 | Or if you must do so now, why not return? 33833 Or life and death; for surely they are fitting emblems? |
33833 | Perhaps you have some cake there? |
33833 | Poetical, sir? |
33833 | Qu''est- ce que vous nous chantez là? |
33833 | Regret? |
33833 | So the scent has failed? |
33833 | Spirit of the dead and gone, wherefore art thou here? 33833 Surely you have not been offering to elope with the Dragon?" |
33833 | Surely you would not visit the barbarous exhibition? |
33833 | Tell us,we said;"what about the dragging of the well? |
33833 | The Dragon? |
33833 | Then we can not prevail upon you to be with us this evening? |
33833 | Then you do n''t believe the legend? |
33833 | They ate fruit, or how could Eve have tempted Adam with an apple? |
33833 | Two skeletons? |
33833 | Was the donkey never claimed, Loretta? |
33833 | Was your gold plate safe, and madame''s diamonds? |
33833 | Wash, señor? |
33833 | Well,he said,"have you enjoyed my music? |
33833 | Were you, then, sent here for any special reason? |
33833 | What can be more perfect? 33833 What can it mean?" |
33833 | What do you see in it? |
33833 | What do you think of it, Joseph? 33833 What does the señor mean?" |
33833 | What have you prepared? |
33833 | What is it? |
33833 | What is that distant object? |
33833 | What is that? |
33833 | What is the hour? |
33833 | What is your name? |
33833 | What object could I have in coming here at this dark hour? 33833 What will you?" |
33833 | What would you, señor? 33833 When shall we meet again?" |
33833 | Where have you learned your charm? |
33833 | Which is that? |
33833 | Who is it? |
33833 | Who is that for? |
33833 | Who would have supposed anything so weighty within this little town? |
33833 | Why are you here, Loretta? |
33833 | Why are you here? |
33833 | Why do n''t you join them, and take your share of the spoil? |
33833 | Why leave us? |
33833 | Why not try again with those eyes of yours? |
33833 | Why so? |
33833 | Why, Pedro,said the colonel-- we were standing just a little above the people--"what brings you here to- day? |
33833 | With you to tempt me, Alphonse, how could I resist? 33833 Would n''t a silken thread be more poetical?" |
33833 | Would the señor deign to come and see the wife, and talk to her a little of France and the French? 33833 Would you be admitted with all those broken vows upon your conscience?" |
33833 | You are then in the habit of coming here? |
33833 | You believe in all the miracles, legends and traditions time has gathered round the image? |
33833 | You do n''t approve, Sebastien? |
33833 | You have long ceased to labour? |
33833 | You think I have no business to judge of these matters? |
33833 | You will not give us all the experiences of your past life, spiritual and otherwise?--all you went through in your transition state? |
33833 | _ For Smokers?__ Quel horreur!_ Monsieur the Inspector, you must be mad, or you have dined too well--_l''un ou l''autre_. 33833 ''Where have you come from?'' 33833 ''Will you love my donkeys?'' 33833 A land of abundance, is it not, Miguella? |
33833 | All the centuries that have since rolled on, changing and destroying much of its charm? |
33833 | An escape in a deluge would not have been romantic-- and where could they escape to? |
33833 | An excellent opening in the world presented itself-- might we take this as an indication that Heaven favoured our desires? |
33833 | And after that?" |
33833 | And if not altogether that now, who has she to thank but herself? |
33833 | And is it so much to give up for Heaven? |
33833 | And the monkeys? |
33833 | And was he, too, fond of black- pudding?" |
33833 | And what do you think came up?" |
33833 | And what does it matter for a few human bones? |
33833 | And where will you find pillars so lofty and massive? |
33833 | And who is a bit the better for it?" |
33833 | And why not? |
33833 | And why not? |
33833 | Are you not in his jurisdiction?" |
33833 | Are you really going to- day, señor? |
33833 | Beggars? |
33833 | But do they read and appreciate the poetry of others? |
33833 | But how comes it, madame, if I may be so indiscreet, that my fair travelling companion should not herself eventually have become Madame de Nevada?" |
33833 | But how could you think I should change my mind and forget my engagement? |
33833 | But what am I doing?" |
33833 | But what can you do? |
33833 | But what wonder that in my misery I learned to seek oblivion in the wine cup? |
33833 | But who can legislate for what shall happen after death?" |
33833 | But who is this frail creature? |
33833 | But why did you not tell us that to- morrow was your wedding- day?" |
33833 | But why do you call it a power? |
33833 | But will you come back to spend a whole month at Gerona? |
33833 | But your repast-- would you not lose it?" |
33833 | But, after all, what mattered? |
33833 | But, if we may ask it again without indiscretion, whence have you this indulgence and power?" |
33833 | C.?" |
33833 | Can I ever forget your largesse on that occasion? |
33833 | Can we do aught to ease thee of thy burden? |
33833 | Can you wonder that I should like to inhabit yonder cave? |
33833 | Could by any possibility a way of escape be found for her? |
33833 | Could his sense of hearing be unduly awakened? |
33833 | Did you ever see so charming, so devoted a couple? |
33833 | Did you notice the peasants in the fields as we came along, sitting at work with their knees up to their ears? |
33833 | Did you sleep comfortably in your beautiful rooms?" |
33833 | Did you think there was so much in them? |
33833 | Do ghosts of the past haunt it with long- drawn sighs? |
33833 | Do n''t you think we might take the woman as a conductor and so combine the two?" |
33833 | Do you imagine that I could be in this room and remain insensible to such charms as few women possess?" |
33833 | Do you know his''Spiritual Letters,''señor?" |
33833 | Do you mean to say you have heard him?" |
33833 | Do you not also find the air of Gerona conducive to sleep? |
33833 | Do you observe the fineness of the colours, the rich deep blue that contrasts so well with the emerald green? |
33833 | Do you patronise the French or Spanish cuisine? |
33833 | Does the council still sit in the Apostles''Gateway?" |
33833 | Generally speaking they all turn up again after a time, like bad money; but on this occasion who knows? |
33833 | Had he thrown in his lot amongst them? |
33833 | Had her spouse also forgiven the gay Lothario, or had they arranged for coffee and pistols? |
33833 | Had the mediæval bishops feared a reversal of things-- serenades from fair dames yielding to the charm of forbidden fruit? |
33833 | Has it been done?" |
33833 | Has it ever struck you in the same way, this strange mingling of natural and artificial light? |
33833 | Has it had more than its share of Abelards and Héloïses, Romeos and Juliets? |
33833 | Has it seen many sorrows? |
33833 | Has some sorrowful Atala been borne under its branches to a desert grave, some Dante mourned here his lost Beatrice, some Petrarch his Laura? |
33833 | Has the Archbishop any relics of the Cid?" |
33833 | Has the señor visited the famous monastery?" |
33833 | Have I given you new ideas, revealed unsuspected beauties? |
33833 | Have the hours passed as moments? |
33833 | Have they kept you spell- bound, all the thoughts of the great masters of the past? |
33833 | Have we fallen into the hands of the Philistines?" |
33833 | Have you a cellar, or any other place in which a murdered body might be concealed?" |
33833 | Have you seen his wife, señor? |
33833 | Have you the gift of eternal youth?" |
33833 | Have you the heart to consign us to that_ chambre de tortures?_"He paused a moment, revolving the momentous situation. |
33833 | Heaven has blessed me with means; how can they be better employed than in ministering to others, whether rich or poor? |
33833 | Here it is, señor; will you not come in and look at it? |
33833 | Here the magnificent surroundings were less seen, but what mattered? |
33833 | How could we live without it?" |
33833 | How did you find out, señor? |
33833 | How had she fallen so low? |
33833 | How had we sauntered back? |
33833 | How is this, Loretta?" |
33833 | How it is that to you, a comparative stranger, I have promised to speak of the past, open my heart, disclose secrets unknown to the world? |
33833 | How often am I to report you to the Father- Superior for carelessness?" |
33833 | Humble? |
33833 | I have your promise?" |
33833 | I hope you are not going to forbid the marriage?" |
33833 | I sacrificed home, country and honour; I ruined all my worldly prospects; and for what? |
33833 | I was wrong in saying it was an enemy, for are we not all friends of the lovelier sex? |
33833 | If I know nothing of its horrors, how can I join in a crusade against them? |
33833 | If she at all exaggerated, who could wonder? |
33833 | If we felt a slight grievance, who could wonder? |
33833 | If we had regretted the donkeys before seeing it, what did we do now? |
33833 | If you thought her beautiful then, what would you say now to that calm, radiant face, those clear, steadfast eyes? |
33833 | In England we have a proverb which speaks of a round man in a square hole; might it not almost be applied to you?" |
33833 | Introspective or retrospective? |
33833 | Is it a plot to keep us here? |
33833 | Is it a success?" |
33833 | Is it likely? |
33833 | Is it not a splendid view, señor? |
33833 | Is it not a sublime scene?" |
33833 | Is it not so?" |
33833 | Is it not the very spot for such a soul as Señor Ancora''s?" |
33833 | Is it that these ghostly shadows inspire you as nothing else can?" |
33833 | Is it you, señor, who have influenced the stars against him?" |
33833 | Is not this better than all the passionate vows which rarely survive one''s early youth, and too often die under the strain of life''s daily work? |
33833 | Is your weatherwise astronomer for once proving a false prophet?" |
33833 | It may yet be half a lifetime-- who knows? |
33833 | It might have been a warning to them, but when was love ever warned? |
33833 | May we offer you a really good specimen bottle, just to show you its excellence? |
33833 | Miguel,"to a young man in attendance,"where are the keys? |
33833 | Monsieur will allow me to change the wine?" |
33833 | Never was truer proverb What says Shakespeare?" |
33833 | Nor would I wish it otherwise as long as I have to minister to mortals, or how could I sympathise with the sin and sorrow and suffering around me? |
33833 | Of what nature were his thoughts? |
33833 | Oh, Nerissa, my life''s joy, my best beloved, in what realms is your pure spirit now wandering? |
33833 | Or did he live, a solitary being, in one of the surrounding hermitages? |
33833 | Or mistrusting their own strength had wisely put temptation out of reach? |
33833 | Or was it only the contents of the flask that was a century old?" |
33833 | Or was the emblem so fitting as to be self- evident? |
33833 | Or would reflection have brought a change of plans and an early pillow? |
33833 | Perhaps he was a man who liked the tragic side of life-- and where is it more suggested than on the banks of the Seine? |
33833 | Perhaps, sir, you are to be the new poet- laureate?" |
33833 | Romance and sunshine? |
33833 | Sceptical? |
33833 | Señor, you have been with Anselmo and he has told you our story-- or how could you know?" |
33833 | Shall I tell you how I came to keep donkeys? |
33833 | She is not the angel she looks----""Are you not rather hard upon the angels,_ Sereno_?" |
33833 | She still lives?" |
33833 | She was about to leave me to the temptations and tender mercies of the world-- how would it fare with me in the years to come? |
33833 | Should it be earth or heaven? |
33833 | Should we survive it: or, surviving, find a way out again? |
33833 | Surely the old guardian at Poblet knows nothing? |
33833 | Surely the señor is French too?" |
33833 | Surely they deserve it?" |
33833 | Surely you can not be in want?" |
33833 | Surely you have made your offering to the country and your boy is now at Tarragona?" |
33833 | Surely you need me to perfect your happiness?" |
33833 | Tell me, did I exaggerate its beauty? |
33833 | The perils it went through and did not altogether escape in those terrible days of''93 when, condemned, it was saved by a miracle? |
33833 | Then from a distant corner we heard an anxious murmur:"What about dinner?" |
33833 | They were happy in each other; life was a paradise; and when did such a perfect condition of things ever last? |
33833 | This was true enough; but how find our way to the cathedral and back again to the hotel? |
33833 | Was Nerissa still lingering here, or, as she had said, had her sightless eyes opened to the world beyond? |
33833 | Was he a Spaniard or an Englishman? |
33833 | Was he dwelling upon some terrible Might- have- been? |
33833 | Was he thinking of days that were past, or of the life to come? |
33833 | Was it a judgment upon the wife who had proved faithless to her husband, the man who had betrayed his friend? |
33833 | Was it all due to inward fever, to the wine- cup, or to artificial aid? |
33833 | Was it not the spirit telling her in advance how soon her youth should indeed return to her? |
33833 | Was it true that Queen Victoria was carried wherever she went, because she suffered from rheumatism? |
33833 | Was not Joseph a carpenter? |
33833 | Was not he the worst of the three, and would have the last word?" |
33833 | Was our visit friendly or the opposite? |
33833 | Was such a fate to be ours? |
33833 | Was the mysterious being that haunted our corridors prowling these precincts in search of relics? |
33833 | Were regret and remorse his portion, or resignation to his present surroundings? |
33833 | Were they not all fellow- sufferers? |
33833 | Were they, this moonlight night, going into the interior? |
33833 | Were we trying to worm military secrets out of the men with the intention of starting another Peninsular war? |
33833 | What brought him apparently at home amidst the Jesuits, he who evidently belonged to another order? |
33833 | What can be lovelier than the view from the summit of that rugged hill crowned by its imperishable monument? |
33833 | What could I do? |
33833 | What could it all mean? |
33833 | What did it mean? |
33833 | What did it mean? |
33833 | What do you say to it?" |
33833 | What does it mean? |
33833 | What have I done? |
33833 | What higher mission or greater privilege could there be? |
33833 | What if the night- porter failed us, as he had failed in Lerida? |
33833 | What now? |
33833 | What other five sisters would live together in such harmony? |
33833 | What power are you exercising? |
33833 | What shall it be?" |
33833 | What strange charm was about this man? |
33833 | What to her the lookers- on? |
33833 | What to him was that tragedy that was passing at the other end of the town? |
33833 | What was the matter, and what could it mean? |
33833 | What was this monk in the strange garb? |
33833 | What would the performance resemble? |
33833 | What''s to be done? |
33833 | When are you coming? |
33833 | When indeed does Providence_ not_ direct the paths of its children? |
33833 | When our present neighbour was a bishop, would he too uphold the good and condemn the evil? |
33833 | When shall we meet again?" |
33833 | When there came for him the great apocalypse of the soul how would it find its way to the realms of paradise? |
33833 | When was there ever an old institution in Spain without its legend? |
33833 | When was this ever otherwise where sympathy was the keynote of the disposition? |
33833 | When we went in she was smiling sweetly upon H. C."What does it all mean?" |
33833 | Whence its sad, romantic name? |
33833 | Where had the moments flown? |
33833 | Where had we met? |
33833 | Where indeed do we find such beautiful and graceful hills as in Spain? |
33833 | Where is there another sea like the Mediterranean? |
33833 | Where was the kingdom of Heaven and what was it like? |
33833 | Where will you discover such a feeling of devotion, so mysterious a chiaroscuro? |
33833 | Which of Spain''s treasures did they leave untouched?" |
33833 | Whichever way you gaze you are met by a forest of pillars-- a true forest, full of life and breath, for are not those growing like spreading palms? |
33833 | Who can they be, and what do they want in this forsaken spot?" |
33833 | Who could love again after such a love, such a marriage as mine? |
33833 | Who could resist such an appeal? |
33833 | Who else would have treated you to a homily on black coffee and strong waters as I did this morning? |
33833 | Who indeed could dream of Titiens, never having heard of her? |
33833 | Who that has gone down its broad winding course can forget the charms of its ancient towns? |
33833 | Who was he? |
33833 | Who would have supposed such an idyll in the quiet town of Lerida? |
33833 | Who would have thought it would be so sudden? |
33833 | Who would not dwell in such a fools''paradise?" |
33833 | Why are the skies of Rome more beautiful than any other? |
33833 | Why are they not here? |
33833 | Why are you not at school?" |
33833 | Why did Heaven take the child and spare the mother?" |
33833 | Why did you not leave me yesterday to my solitude and devotions, and pass on, as others have done? |
33833 | Why not give us cells in the monastery, where, in presence of the Father- Superior, ghosts would hardly venture to intrude?" |
33833 | Why so carefully secured? |
33833 | Why wander in this unrest? |
33833 | Will it ever be realised?" |
33833 | Will our earthly prayers and sympathy avail thee in thy land of shadows?" |
33833 | Will you not come again, if only to ride the gentle Caro?" |
33833 | Will you not go with me on my way that I may show you one of the loveliest spots in Gerona?" |
33833 | Will you persuade me a man with so terrible a death- bed was ever sceptic at heart? |
33833 | With a railroad at our very doors, who can say that we are now out of the world? |
33833 | With that glorious sun shining, who could waste moments in sleep? |
33833 | Would he hold us to it? |
33833 | Would you like me to give you some music?" |
33833 | Would you like some in your coffee?" |
33833 | Would you not be allowed to dine with us this evening? |
33833 | Would you sacrifice your birthright for a mess of pottage?" |
33833 | Yet in what would you be the better? |
33833 | Yet who can tell? |
33833 | Yet, how can I say so, for who enjoys it more when fate brings me here?" |
33833 | You agree, colonel?" |
33833 | You did not take compassion upon him?" |
33833 | You doubt me? |
33833 | You have doubtless heard of the engagement?" |
33833 | You have seen Anselmo to- day, señor?" |
33833 | You must often have done the same, señor?" |
33833 | You think I have no right to give an opinion? |
33833 | You will come?" |
33833 | Your door is still open; so is mine; but who can be sure of the morrow? |
33833 | and did not our Saviour work in the carpenter''s shop? |
33833 | how is this? |
33833 | our candles wax dim and blue-- or is it fancy? |
33833 | said H. C."Have they discovered that I am a poet, and all this is a little delicate attention on their part? |
33833 | the companionship you have given up? |
33833 | the right of calling Anselmo husband? |
33833 | the sacrifice of motherhood, which is said to be sweetest of all earthly ties to woman?" |
33833 | when will it be?" |
