13483Am I not here your grateful guest, opening the session of this philosophical and historic institution?
13483And who shall tell us the ultimate bounds of these waves of light and sound?
13483Are we to suppose that this was a delusion, or that the sensibility of the man was a genuine aid to the actor?
13483But do we therefore bury ourselves?
13483But may there be moral contamination from what is performed on the stage?
13483But what did it amount to?
13483But you may say-- what is nature?
13483Can such not stir, when it is worth the telling, the hearts of men, to whom it comes as an echo from the past?
13483Could anyone but himself attempt such a wonderful variety, such an amazing contrast of character, and be equally great in all?
13483Granted that his art creates nothing; but does it not often restore?
13483Has not this made the passage far more real and human to you than all the thought you have devoted to it?
13483How can any one be temperate in the midst of his passion, lest it be that his consciousness and his purpose remain to him?
13483If I meditate on patriotism, can I but reflect how grandly the boards have been trod by personifications of heroic love of country?
13483Is it not for ever identified with the noblest instincts and occupations of the human mind?
13483Nay, more; has even the tale that is told no significance in after years?
13483Now, what is the art of acting?
13483That he is simply to declaim the words set down for him, without reference to the expression of his face, his bearing, or his action?
13483To what position in the world of intelligence does the actor''s art entitle him, and what is his contribution to the general sum of instruction?
13483What does he then do?
13483What then do I infer?
13483What was it in their performances that chiefly impressed their contemporaries?
13483When the covers were removed he remarked, on seeing his own sorry fare,"Yes, this is very well; but where''s the entertainment for the man?"
47118Am I to play Posthumus? 47118 Do you know what I am going to say?"
47118How long, sir,said Kean to Elliston, the manager,"how long am I to play with that--_Jesuit_, Young?"
47118How ought I to look when I see the Ghost?
47118Mrs. Siddons,says Campbell,"omitted Mrs. Crawford''s scream, in the far- famed question,''Was he alive?''"
47118Plausible, am I?
47118Well,said the Duke, having listened to the complaint,"what is it you now want?"
47118What can that be?
47118What now?
47118Who is that shabby little man?
47118Who the devil is she?
47118Who? 47118 _ Jerry Blackacre_, I suppose, sir?"
47118_ Manly_, I believe, sir?
47118''s favourite actor, and almost personal friend, once play the Hunchback Richard?
47118A similar effect was once produced by Charles Kemble, by transposing, unconsciously, two letters in the phrase,"Shall I lay perjury upon my soul?"
47118Among the offensive queries put by the former to the Duke, was--"Who is that fine- looking fellow at the head of the table?"
47118And is not improbability as great a sin in the richest as it is in the poorest dramatic genius?"
47118As he left the house he whispered,''Have I not pleased the Yankee- doodles?''
47118But--"what do you think in a house crowded was the first thing I saw?
47118Ford?"
47118Kean, in 1824, writing to Mr. Vizell(?)
47118Macklin looked vacantly at her, and, in an imbecile tone of voice, remarked,"I had forgotten; who plays Shylock?"
47118Mr. Crawfurd, too, asked me if I did not think her the best actress I ever saw?
47118Nevertheless, those who never worked, as well as those who were over- worked, needed amusement; and what was to be done?
47118She may have borne her professional habits into private life and"stabbed the potatoes,"or awed a draper''s assistant by asking,"Will it wash?"
47118Shylock leant over his crutched stick, with both hands; and, looking askance at Bassanio, said:"Three thousand ducats?"
47118The character was"totally without archness,"said Young;"how_ could_ such a countenance be arch?"
47118The house re- opened on the 4th of October, with the"Beggar''s Opera,"and"Is he a Prince?"
47118The latter smiled; and Kean asked him_ wherefore_?
47118The next words Castalio should have uttered were,"What have I done?
47118Thinking of Miss Tidswell, he used to say--"If she was n''t my mother, why was she kind to me?"
47118What could he mean?"
47118Where is this young Isabella?
47118Whereupon Venus looked fondly on him and asked, in a stage whisper, if he loved sugar- plumbs?--and what sort?
47118Who was this unnamed artist?
47118Why not?
47118and also take as a compliment Sheridan''s assurance that he had"entirely_ executed_ his design?"
47118and did not Kemble play Charles Surface?
47118and making of it,"Shall I lay surgery upon my poll?
47118and would be prepared to answer,"Is the day so young?"
47118and would n''t he like some of the best quality when the piece was over?
47118exclaimed Mrs. Kean;"will you write his life?
47118paused, bethought himself, and then added:"Well?"
47118replies the author,''they_ have_ found it out, have they?''"
47118said he;''what are they hissing now?''
47118said the latter;"well; oh!--look?
47118to whom?
47118what light from yonder window breaks?
47118why not try a new actor?
47117Are you going to make a scholar of him?
47117Did I tell you about Mr. Garrick, that the town are horn- mad after?
47117Has Warwickshire, sir,said Foote,"the advantage of having produced you as well as Shakspeare?"
47117Have you not heard,she wrote to Garrick, in June 1776,"of your poor Pivy?
47117How so?
47117How were you pleased?
47117Is not this tea stronger than usual, madam? 47117 Now what do you think?
47117Who could believe,says Voltaire,"that love could have been introduced into such a story?
47117Who should act genteel comedy, perfectly,asks Walpole,"but people of fashion that have sense?
47117Who upon earth,he says,"has written such perfect comedies?
47117Why do not they give these parts to Porter? 47117 Why, dear lady?"
47117Why,said ever- ready James,"what would you have me be?--A lord?"
47117[ 116] And Mrs. Garrick? 47117 And now what of this George''s successor as anauditor?"
47117At Mrs. Crawford''s"Is he alive?"
47117But did he deserve it?
47117Can you not see the pair in that first floor in Russell Street?
47117Did I ever attack your head?"
47117Do n''t you want to ask me how I liked him?
47117Express the just?
47117He dies: and with him sense and taste retreat; For, who can now conceive the Poet''s fire?
47117He had failed in tragedy, and was pronounced unfit for comedy; and he asked, almost despairingly,"What the deuce then_ am_ I fit for?"
47117He was in that closing season when a fop condoled with him on growing old, and asked what the actor would give to be as young as_ he_ was?
47117How are Wilks and the inimitable She photographed for posterity?
47117How is a man, for instance, to demonstrate his virtue in the public assembly?
47117In such wise went her money; but whither has the blood of Oldfield gone?
47117In the second scene of the second act he should have asked his daughter,"Sylvia, how old were you when your mother_ died_?"
47117Is he a lover?
47117Is it, indeed, forbidden to show us the kingdom of heaven by a parable?
47117Kynaston had fallen suddenly ill, and who could learn and play the part of Lord Touchwood in a few hours?
47117Like sturgeon, or like brawn, shall I Bound in a precious pickle lie, Which I can never taste?
47117Lord Chesterfield saw a couple of chairmen helping a heavy gentleman into a sedan, and he asked his servant if he knew who that stout gentleman was?
47117Mr. Quin,"said he, unhesitatingly,"what shall I do for a little ready money, till Saturday arrives?"
47117She wore spectacles?
47117Sir Francis Delaval, one of the rich amateur actors of his time, touched by her calamity,"made her a present of-- what do you think?"
47117Sylvia laughed, and being put out of her cue, could only stammer"What, sir?"
47117The absurdity of this must have been evident to Garrick, who immediately replied,"My dear friend, have you quite left off writing for the stage?"
47117The fervid transport?
47117Thence the well- known epigram:--"''Well, what''s to- night?''
47117Urged by my duty, I have ventur''d here; But how for Douglas can I shed the tear?
47117Was it from fear that Garrick declined to play Jaffier to Quin''s Pierre?
47117What are the small or the great faults of this actor of"all the Falstaffs,"when we find his virtues so practical and lively?
47117What do they in the North, When they should serve their sovereign in the West?"
47117What would kind- hearted people have?
47117What_ was_ to be done?
47117When about to retire she wrote to Garrick, with some obliviousness as to dates:--"What signifies 52?
47117When real griefs the burden''d bosom press, Can it raise sighs feign''d sorrows to express?
47117When the play was over, Cibber asked her, in his familiar way,"Nancy, how did you like your new husband?"
47117Whereon Garrick asked,"Should he dress at you in the play, how can you be alarmed at it, or take it ill?
47117Who could or would dare to face a public whose sides were still shaking with laughter at Dogget''s irresistible performance of this character?
47117Who drove you?"
47117Whom did this mysterious Diana marry?
47117Woffington?"
47117cried the more confused justice;"I mean, how old were you when your mother_ was born_?"
47117he exclaimed,"do you mean to say that we have not been playing Shakspeare all this while?"
47117in woollen?
47117on that night was as grand as her"Are you a man?"
47117one to whom they all owed so much, and from whom he, Burke, had learned many a grace of oratory?
47117or the soft desire?"
47117said Warburton,"by what law?"
47117the great?
47117the natural?
47117was as much superior in significance to that of Mrs. Siddons, as the"Was he alive?"
47117what next?"
47117whereon Quin retorted with,"And have you been cured of it?"
47117you are there, are you?
13928And is not that, perhaps, the supreme merit of acting?
13928And still the question remains: how much of this success is due to the playwright''s skill or to the skill of the actors?
13928Are those quite the words one would use about the play in English?
13928Are we always quite certain what we mean when we speak of an artist?
13928Are we capable of realising the difference?
13928Before saying to himself: what would this particular person say or do in these circumstances?
13928But can it?
13928But how?
13928But is not all art a suggestion, an evocation, never a statement?
13928But is not that a trifle too obvious sentiment for the true artist in artificial things?
13928But is there, anywhere but in Ireland, an attempt to write imaginative literature in the form of drama?
13928But might not the experiment be tried?
13928Could Pachmann himself explain to us his own magic?
13928Does anyone"seriously contest"its right not to"rank as Literature"?
13928Does not gesture indeed make emotion, more certainly and more immediately than emotion makes gesture?
13928Does not the play, for instance, lose a little in its acceptance of those narrow limits of the footlights?
13928Does she deliberately choose the plays most obviously not written for her in order to extort a triumph out of her enemies?
13928Elsewhere, how often do we find even so much as this, in more than a single writer here and there?
13928GREAT ACTING IN ENGLISH Why is it that we have at the present moment no great acting in England?
13928Has the most gradual of stage- moons ever caught the miraculous lunar trick to the life?
13928Has the real hedgerow ever brought a breath of the country upon the stage?
13928Here are two arts helping one another; something is gained, but how much is lost?
13928How is it that in this play the actors obtain a fine result, act on a higher level, than in their realistic Sicilian tragedies?
13928How is it that we get from the acting and management of these two actors a result which no one in England has ever been able to get?
13928How many English actresses, I wonder, would have been capable of dealing adequately with such a scene as that?
13928In casting away his formulas, has he the big human mastery which alone could replace them?
13928Is Mr. Redford capable of discriminating between what is artistically fine and what is artistically ignoble?
13928Is Paderewski after all a Belus?
13928Is it his many coloured soul that"magnetises our poor vertebras,"in Verlaine''s phrase, and not the mere skill of his fingers?
13928Is it not partly the energy, the restless energy, of the English character which prevents our actors from ever sitting or standing still on the stage?
13928Is it reality, is it illusion?
13928Is it technique, temperament, touch, that reveals to us what we have never dreamed was hidden in sounds?
13928Is it through Pachmann''s nerves, or through ours, that this communion takes place?
13928Is not, then, the persistent English habit of"crossing stage to right"a national characteristic, ingrained in us, and not only a matter of training?
13928Is the play weak?
13928Now Busoni can do, on the pianoforte, whatever he can conceive; the question is, what can he conceive?
13928Now, is it possible that Miss Julia Neilson really imagined herself to be capable of rendering this scene as it should be rendered?
13928Or is there in our actor- managers a lack of this very sense of what is required in the proper rendering of imaginative work on the stage?
13928THE SPEAKING OF VERSE Was there ever at any time an art, an acquired method, of speaking verse, as definite as the art and method of singing it?
13928The brothers surprise Vivarce on the stairs: was he coming from the room of Giselle or of Léonore?
13928The question is: could any one man be found on whose opinion all England might safely rely for its dramatic instruction and entertainment?
13928The whole point of the play: has a husband the right to kill his wife or his wife''s lover if he discovers that his wife has been unfaithful to him?
13928There are many more names, if I could remember them; but where is the serious playwright?
13928There is Mr. Pinero, Mr. Jones, Mr. Grundy: what names are better known, or less to be associated with literature?
13928There is something in her aspect, what shall I call it?
13928Undoubtedly the words lose, and does not the voice lose something also, in its directness of appeal?
13928What fine vision was there to bring down?
13928What is the peculiar quality in this artist which acts always with the same intoxicating effect?
13928What should we say if he altered the time of one movement in order to make room for another, in which he would himself be more prominent?
13928What should we say if he rearranged the composer''s score for the convenience of his own orchestra?
13928What should we say if the conductor of an orchestra committed a single one of these criminal absurdities?
13928What should we say if the first fiddle insisted on having a cadenza to himself in the course of every dozen bars of the music?
13928Who is there on our stage who has completely mastered those two first requirements of acting?
13928Who is there that can give us, not the external gesture, but the inner meaning, of some beautiful and subtle passage in Shakespeare?
13928Why leave the ball- room?
13928Why not?
13928Why should not the visible world be treated in the same spirit as the invisible world of character and temperament?
13928Why wear chains for dancing?
13928Would it have been so effective, that is to say, so real?
13928Yet what method is there besides these two methods?
13928and as"Which?"
13928he says to himself: what would it be effective on the stage for this particular person to do or say?
13928what poetry hid in thought or passion was lost to us in its passage across the stage?
53225''Will the entertainment be consistent?''
53225Are you going to sell any of your hats?
53225But,I argued,"how could you do that?
53225Consistent?
53225Dear Mr. Grossmith,--Are you inclined to go on the stage for a time? 53225 Did I?"
53225Did you see that Mr.---- is writing his reminiscences?
53225Do n''t you think it rather a pity that he should do so?
53225Do you seriously want me to do that?
53225How much does a Mayor get here?
53225In what way?
53225Is there no change of costumes? 53225 Oh, I say, George, have you got a piece of sticking- plaister?"
53225Oh,said the clerk, a little puzzled,"one of the guests?
53225What first put it into your head to give entertainments?
53225What?
53225Why a pity?
53225_ Gaoler_( interpreting the learned magistrate): What have you got? 53225 ''Can Mr. Grossmith give an entertainment at Aberdeen on Jan.----?''
53225''Why not get Courtenay Clarke* to give you a lift, my boy?''
53225( To Seymour, the stage manager): Where''s Mr. Grossmith?
53225--"Shall I score the drum parts for you?"
53225:_ And seen it too?
53225:_ I beg your pardon; I fancy you must be well acquainted with that play?
53225:_ Well, if_ you_ do not know it well, I should like to know who does?
53225:_ You''ve heard it often enough?
53225After he finished the song, I said:"I presume you desire me to recommend you to Mr. Carte for the chorus?"
53225Are you afraid of the sea?
53225Are you going to give us any of your little funniments-- eh?"
53225At a quarter to five two ladies arrived, and at five the hostess, addressing me, said:"Would you mind commencing now?
53225At the conclusion of the sketch I said to the lady:"I hope I was not too long?"
53225Burnand promptly replied,"Oh, are you going to_ stick_ here all night?"
53225But the great thing is-- what sort of entertainment do you give?"
53225But the''mystery''is, how is it she is_ not_ telling the cards correctly?
53225Ca n''t you spend a Sunday with me?
53225Carte was so puzzled that he said to Mr. X.:"I thought you had shaved your moustache?"
53225Come and sup after the play next Saturday at Dover Street?"
53225Dear Grossmith,--Are you down in this neighbourhood to- morrow any time?
53225Did n''t you hear me do it?
53225Do n''t they know what to do?
53225Do n''t you require any scenery or footlights?"
53225Do you hear?"
53225Do you know nearly everybody takes me for Mr. Grossmith?
53225Do you understand me?
53225Do you want to try your song?
53225Do you?
53225Everybody dead?
53225Flowers:_ You would n''t have me punish a child like that, would you?
53225Flowers_( thinking this was the usual imputation on the evidence of the police): Then, if you did n''t do it, who did I should like to know?
53225Gilbert_( still politely): Mr. Snooks, do n''t you appreciate the difference between the accent on"counting"and the accent on"house"?
53225Grain?"
53225Grossmith?"
53225Grossmith?"
53225HAMLET(_ sitting up_)-- What?
53225Have you and Mrs. Grossmith any sharp spuds, and would you like to race me in a drill?
53225Have you?"
53225He enquired how mine was going at the Polytechnic?
53225He leered at me and asked,"What for?"
53225How are you?
53225How do I know who you are?
53225How_ can_ you think of all these things?
53225I do n''t say you are one: still, how am I to know you are_ not_ one-- eh?
53225I enquired what?
53225I enquired, as a matter of course, how his new song was going at the Gallery of Illustration?
53225I placed it hastily in my pocket, and was much amused by the lady approaching me shortly afterwards and saying,"Have you got it quite safe?"
53225I said:"Sticks, I believe you died of drink?"
53225I said:"Well, were n''t you bored with all the rot I''ve been talking?"
53225I thought a little, and then said:"Would you kindly explain the question?
53225I wonder if my friend Frank Thornton will be offended if I repeat an oft- told story about him?
53225Is it to be wondered at, that it attacked also the school of the Misses Hay?
53225Lots of people come to me and say,"I hope you wo n''t take me off?"
53225May I ask the favour of your vocal assistance?
53225Mr. Barrington has often come into my room just as I am going on the stage, and chaffingly said,"Why do n''t you make up?"
53225Mr. Grossmith, what are you doing here?
53225Mr. Gunn turned to the man and said:"What nationality are you?
53225My father said,"Topic?
53225My victim, seeing his chance, led the attack:"Anything more to say?"
53225Now ought I to have shaken hands with him?
53225One may well exclaim,"What''s in a name?"
53225Presently he said,"What do you want to change your clothes for?"
53225She departed with the baby, and soothed it with the following pleasant remark about myself:"Was''i m frightened by an ugly man den?"
53225She replied,"Oh dear, no; but did any lady really ask you that question?"
53225Sticks, I wish to ask you a few questions?"
53225Sticks, do not think I mean to be disrespectful; but are you drunk now?"
53225Sticks,"I asked,"is it possible to take too much drink in purgatory?"
53225Sullivan then sang,"My name is John Wellington Wells,"and said,"You can do that?"
53225Surely you have never heard it pronounced in any other way?
53225The Chairman replied:"Do you think so, Mr. Grossmith?
53225The Duke, who is tolerably well- known for his brusque and autocratic manner, addressing her Grace in my presence, said,"Has that fellow arrived yet?"
53225The butler continued reading:"''What will be his terms?''"
53225The butler made a note of the terms, and continued:"''Will the entertainment be consistent?''"
53225The first question was:"Can Mr. Grossmith give an entertainment at Aberdeen on Jan.----?"
53225Two days after, Carte saw him with his moustache on again; but, taking no particular notice, said:"Let me see, have you been to Barraud''s?"
53225What is it?"
53225What topic?"
53225What''ll be the terms?"
53225Who was John King?
53225Why Leamington?
53225Why, that wo n''t do; For who''s to speak the tag?
53225Will you sing now?"
53225X.?"
53225_ Clown_( handing back book): I do not quite follow you?
53225_ Prosecutor:_ Of course I would-- what have I had him brought in here for?
53225_ Prosecutor:_ What for?
53225everybody?
53225how long have I got?
53225what have I got?
44065How is it possible to be otherwise,said Powel,"when I hear you speak?"
44065''How do you know?
44065--''Who have you to act it?''
44065501) says:"Mr. Garrick asked him[ Cibber] if he had not in his possession, a comedy or two of his own writing.--''What then?''
44065And for what Reason?
44065And has not Colley still his lord and whore?
44065And may we not, by a parity of Reason, suppose, that by his Neglect a fourth Part of it_ does_ fall to Ruin?
44065And what less can we call that proud Man who would put another out of the World only for putting him out of Humour?
44065And when I speak of our Errors, why may I not extenuate them by illustrious Examples?
44065And why is there not as much Honesty in owning as in concealing it?
44065And why should not a weak Man have the same Indulgence?
44065And will Sir_ Richard_, then, make us no Compensation for so valuable a Loss in our Interests, and so palpable an Addition to our Labour?
44065And yet had the Actors refus''d this Play, what Resentment might have been thought too severe for them?
44065Are Defects and Disproportions to be the only labour''d Features in a Portrait?
44065Are not you every Day complaining of your being over- labour''d?
44065As, for Instance, how many fruitless Motions have been made in Parliaments to moderate the enormous Exactions in the Practice of the Law?
44065But in_ Dogget_''s Case it may be ask''d, How was he to behave himself?
44065But might not his House be oftener full if the Auditors were oftener pleas''d?
44065But what are narrow Contracts to great Souls with growing Desires?
44065But what is all this to the Theatrical Follies I was talking of?
44065But why am I answerable for that?
44065Could he then foresee he should, one time or other, be turn''d out of_ Drury- Lane_?
44065Do not we find that even good Actions have their Share of it?
44065For though to hide it may be Wisdom, to be without it is impossible; and where is the Merit of keeping a Secret which every Body is let into?
44065His butchers Henley?
44065How came the_ Athenians_ to lay out an Hundred Thousand Pounds upon the Decorations of one single Tragedy of_ Sophocles_?
44065How long, too, has the Publick been labouring for a Bridge at_ Westminster_?
44065How many sensible Husbands endure the teizing Tongue of a froward Wife only because she is the weaker Vessel?
44065How many_ Whigs_ and_ Tories_ have chang''d their Parties, when their good or bad Pretensions have met with a Check to their higher Preferment?
44065How often does History shew us, in the same State of Courts, the same Politicks have been practis''d?
44065How should they have been able to act, or rise to any Excellence, if you supposed them not to feel or understand what you offer''d them?
44065If either of us could be_ good_ Company, our being professed Poets, I hope would be no Objection to my Lord''s sometimes making one with us?
44065If what I have said carries any Truth in it, why might not the original Form of this Theatre be restor''d?
44065In what Shape could we listen to Virtue with equal Delight or Appetite of Instruction?
44065Is it of more use to the Publick to know their Errors than their Perfections?
44065Let them the_ Traytor_ or_ Volpone_ try, Could they Rage like_ Cethegus_, or like_ Cassius_ die?
44065Or did his mere Appetite of Architecture urge him to build a House, while he could not be sure he should ever have leave to make use of it?
44065Or how are you sure your Friend, the infallible Judge to whom you read your fine Piece, might be sincere in the Praises he gave it?
44065Or why, indeed, may I not suppose that a sensible Reader will rather laugh than look grave at the Pomp of my Parallels?
44065Or, indeed, might not you have thought the best Judge a bad one if he had disliked it?
44065The excuse for its introduction was found in these lines from the"Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot":--"Whom have I hurt?
44065To these Questions I can only answer with two or three more, Was he to punish himself because another was in the wrong?

44065Was he a Prophet?
44065Was it not written by_ Shakespear_, and was not_ Shakespear_ one of the greatest Genius''s that ever lived?
44065Well, and what then?
44065Were passionate Insults to be born for Years together?
44065What are we to think of his taking this Lease in the height of his Prosperity, when he could have no Occasion for it?
44065What''s all this idle Prate, you may say, to the matter in hand?
44065Why are you not( said I) where you know you only should be?
44065Why do n''t they give Porter those parts?
44065Why is the Account of Life to be so unequally stated?
44065Why may not I plainly say, it was not the Play, but Me, who had a Hand in it, they did not like?
44065Why then should we not always consider that the Rashness of Abuse is but the false Reason of a weak Man?
44065[ 136] If I am ask''d( after my condemning these Fooleries myself) how I came to assent or continue my Share of Expence to them?

44064And is not that Law of a milder Nature which_ prevents_ a Crime, than that which_ punishes_ it after it is committed?
44064And what Grace or Master- strokes of Action can we conceive such ungain Hoydens to have been capable of?

44064But what will not Satiety depreciate?
44064But, prithee,_ Truman_, what became of these Players when the Stage was put down, and the Rebellion rais''d?
44064By what Rule, then, are we to judge of our true National Taste?
44064Can you guess of what Antiquity the representing of Religious Matters, on the Stage, hath been in_ England_?
44064Can you make me more ridiculous than Nature has made me?
44064Does not the general Opinion of Mankind suppose that the Honour and Reputation of a Minister is, or ought to be, as dear to him as his Life?
44064Does not this prove that there is very near as much Enchantment in the well- govern''d Voice of an Actor as in the sweet Pipe of an Eunuch?

44064How does that appear?
44064How gladly, in my time of being a Sharer, would we have given four times her Income to an Actress of equal Merit?
44064How long must a Man so injur''d lie bleeding before the Pain and Anguish of his Fame( if it suffers wrongfully) can be dispell''d?

44064Now, is it not hard that it should be a doubt whether this Lady''s Condition or ours were the more melancholy?

44064When they confine themselves to a sober Criticism upon what I write; if their Censure is just, what answer can I make to it?
44064Whereas the Stage, he could not but know, was generally allow''d, when rightly conducted, to be a delightful Method of mending our Morals?
44064Why am I oblig''d to conceal them?
44064Why are Histories written, if all Men are not to judge of them?
44064Why not?
44064Why so?
44064Why then is an Actor more blemish''d than a Cardinal?
44064Why then was I desired the next Day to give you a second Lecture?
44064Why, dear Sir, does not every Man that writes expose himself?
44064Will it arise from the conscious Pride of having done his weaker Enemy an Injury?

44064Yet even there, how liable is Prejudice to misuse it?
44064Yet if his Scenes really were, as to me they always seem''d, delightful, are they not, thus expeditiously written, the more surprising?

44064[ 111] Where, then, must have lain the Charm that once made the Publick so partial to this Tragedy?
44064[ 176] How unaccountably, then, does a Genius for the Stage make its way towards Perfection?
44064[ 198] Is it possible that such Auditors can receive Delight, or think it any Praise to them, to prosecute so injurious, so unmanly a Treatment?

13277Why,they ask,"did he not describe Crown Princess Victoria"( the late Empress Frederick)"at least-- how she looked, what she wore?
13277Will it hold? 13277 Y- e- es, you cross, I see-- but what for?"
13277Y- your w- what?
13277You do so-- but for_ why_? 13277 Your mutter lets you love her yet-- you would dare?"
13277itlies here now, after all these years; but where are you, Semantha?
13277( Ca n''t you brush your hair up over that thin place?
13277A curl came to the great actor''s lip, then he said inquiringly,"What for?"
13277A large number of writers ask,"What is the greatest difficulty a young actress has to surmount?"
13277A pity?
13277A scene- hand, noticing my amazed face, said,"You do n''t see it, do you?"
13277After a moment she smiled deprecatingly at Mrs. Holmes and whispered:"You forgive me, other day?
13277After due thought I have cast them all together, boiled them down, and reduced them to this,"What is the bane of a young actress''s life?"
13277And Sam wiped his hand on his breeches leg, and, clearing his throat hard, asked"if I''d mind shakin''hands?"
13277And received for answer,"_ What is_ it?
13277And was she a fool, or did she take him for one?"
13277And who had taught her anything?
13277And, by the way, m''child, what in the devil''s name brings yer on the street alone at this hour, say, tell me that?"
13277Are you still dragging heavily through life, or have you reached that happy shore, where hearts are hungry never more, but filled with love divine?
13277As the comedy bit went on, he smiled up at his father, saying audibly,"I like her-- don''t you, papa?"
13277At once the question rose, was it a wax figure or was it not?
13277Barely three nights had passed when Signor Salvini said to his son,"Why does Miss Morris smile at that man''s exit?
13277Besides, could anything new be found for him in a play he has acted for twenty years?
13277But I am asked, Why does he exist?
13277But how to save the approaching death scene from total ruin?
13277But no, this bed was American, and then why was she so heavy?
13277But to answer her instant"Why?"
13277Ca n''t they read?
13277Could an egotist win and keep such affection and gratitude as that?
13277Could it be?
13277Does this poor lady not read her Bible, then?
13277Does this seem a small matter to you?
13277Don''you tink I can ever be von-- eh?"
13277Finally he sighed and remarked:--"She is an actress, your daughter?"
13277G- go by yourself?
13277Get ahead of every one else; do you understand?
13277He beamed with affectionate interest, as he said impressively,"Well, now you know that a bad''stick''generally costs five dollars in this theatre?"
13277He lifted his high silk hat, and with somewhat florid indignation inquired:"My c- hild, was that in- nfamous cur annoying you shust now?
13277He protested she should not walk home alone; she stopped; she spoke,"Will you please allow me to walk home in peace?"
13277He used to say:"The man there?
13277How many do y- you see at this moment, pray, eh?
13277How, one might ask, had this wretch obtained two good husbands?
13277I answered,"do you suppose I would presume to suggest''business''to a Salvini?
13277I cried,"why did you tell him that?"
13277I exclaimed in bewilderment,"where were whose friends?
13277I exclaimed,"how old are you, and how old am I?"
13277I got muddled, and at last I says,"Semantha, hav''yer got no sponds?"
13277I mentioned it to young Salvini, who cried eagerly,"Did you tell my father-- did he see it?"
13277I say mit my husband dat night,''Vill you keek me hard, if you pleas''?''
13277I went on,"Is mamma here?"
13277I whispered frantically:"What is it?
13277If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there also; whither shall I flee from thy presence?"
13277If you are in earnest, you will simply endure the first year,--endure and study,--and all for what?
13277In an instant the great actor felt the broken spell, knew he had lost his hold upon the people-- but why?
13277In another pile of notes the question appears in this guise,"What is the principal obstacle in the way of the young actress?"
13277Is she here?
13277Is there one among you, who, if you had the chance, would care to strike the bread from the hand of one of these?
13277It does not ask what advantage has acting over other professions, over other arts, but"What advantage has it over other occupations for women?"
13277Laugh?
13277Le Moyne_]"You stuck again, did n''t you, Clara?
13277Mr. Daly, white with anger, came behind the scene, gasping out,"Are they utterly mad?"
13277My heart gave a plunge, and I thought: What is it?
13277No?
13277Not for that you come?
13277Not so very hard a day or night, so far as physical labour goes, is it?
13277Now, will you help me out of this awful life?
13277Of whom are you speaking, and why are you so excited?"
13277Oh, what is wrong?
13277Once, I said,"You walk far, signor?"
13277One girl had fallen from our ranks, but what of that?
13277One morning, as her sick- room toilet was completed, Mrs. Holmes said lightly:--"Omassa, who is Frank?"
13277Ought I to point out one other unpleasant possibility?
13277S- say, you''ve got a mother, have n''t you?
13277Say, Semantha, do n''t it dat you like a Kriss- Krihgle present to make to her, eh?''
13277Shall I take you out there?"
13277She danced about joyously:"Oh, Sam,"she cried,"the lady''s gived me a present, and I ca n''t help myself, can I?"
13277She hav''not com''yed?
13277She looked at them in her wistful way, and then very prettily asked,"Please might she eat one right then?"
13277She looked me brightly in the eyes and answered:"You do?
13277She paused a bit, then in that same slow way she said,"You never, never used that soap after all, Clara?"
13277She seemed dazed; quite distinctly I heard her say"off"to some one in the entrance,"But what''s the matter?"
13277She was evidently on the very verge of frightened tears, and from old habit I stooped down and said to her,"Where''s mamma, dear?"
13277Sin?
13277Sin?
13277Surely she could not see her own_ lip_?
13277That Sen that like your Mr.--Mrs.; you nurse- lady, you Holmes Sen. Ito-- big Japan fight man, he Ito Sen, you unnerstand me, nurse- lady?"
13277The dresses?
13277The man shivered at the cold, but kept his gleaming eyes fastened on her white face,"Well?"
13277The question is, What social conditions exist behind the scenes?
13277The question is,"What chance has a girl in private life of getting on the stage?"
13277The question, then, that has been put so many times is,"Can there be any compatibility between religion and the stage?"
13277Then he spoke rapidly to his son, who translated to me thus:"How have I missed this''business''all these years?
13277There is but the one Salvini, and how can he help knowing it?
13277Those beautiful and trained artists take pleasure in first presenting the style other women are to follow, and yet they share the honour(?)
13277Und she do n''t laugh at my vurk, nieder, eh?
13277What great weight was upon her?
13277What is it?"
13277What is the idea?"
13277What was it about?
13277What you think of_ that_?
13277What you think that big American man do for help me little Japan baby-- with no sense?
13277When the curtain fell, one of them remarked,"I''d like to know what that woman will do in the next few hours?"
13277When the simplest fashionable gown costs$ 125, what must a ball gown with cloak, gloves, fan, slippers and all, come to?
13277While two motherly bodies ask,"What one thing worries an actress the most?"
13277Why add anything to the sight of this?"
13277Why did they permit him to write of himself?"
13277Why had he no reticence?
13277Why not become a lovely composite girl, my friend, Miss Hope Legion, and let me try to speak to her my word of warning, of advice, of remonstrance?
13277Why not, ven he is so goot?
13277Will it hold that beard securely?"
13277Will these few, well- dressed, well- lighted, music- thrilled moments repay you for the loss of home love, home comfort, home stardom?
13277Will they not, then, be sweetly demure on Sunday for the sake of the"picture,"spare their sisters the agony of craving for like beautiful apparel?
13277Will you kindly set us right?"
13277Yes; but what else can you expect?
13277Yet here it was so bright, and she was-- was, where?
13277You hav''not write for room for zat maid?"
13277You have_ no_ reason for come here, you say?

13277ca n''t you have that man arrested?"
13277did I not tell you it was a common tale?

46341But how will anyone know we''re going to play?

46341Do you expect to find tomato cans as far down in the bowels of the earth as that?
46341Do you mean she is n''t going to get her divorce?
46341Do?
46341Does that apply to private life in Paris?

46341Governor,said he,"why do n''t you write about this beautiful place in your new book?"
46341Granted,replied Barrymore,"but why censure the lady personally, a foreigner as well?
46341Have you any idea what the price of American beauties is?
46341He''s clever, quite; Whence came he? 46341 How can I write about a place when I ca n''t see?"
46341How did you get them then?

46341Is he dead?
46341Is that known in Paris?
46341Is that right?
46341Maybe it will,I agreed,"but we have n''t done any wrong, any harm, so why should we worry?"
46341Shall I send you the script to read?

46341Well,said Charley,"you like him as an artist, do n''t you?"
46341What do you tell me all this for? 46341 What do you think of Gertrude''s suggestion?"

46341A trifler?
46341After that what could a true- born American do?
46341Alone?
46341Also how about the returns from a revival of both?
46341Am I not to be envied?
46341And why not?
46341And why should I take myself seriously when nobody else does?
46341Are all the budding geniuses to be strangled at their birth, their dreams to be made delusions?
46341Are they to have no chance to gratify their ambitions, only the remote possibility of being one of an ensemble?
46341Are we?
46341Are you sure?"
46341As for our contemplated plunge into matrimony Gertrude asked,"Why deny that?
46341As he gave the imitation a friend of mine, seated in the front row, looked over and very audibly asked,"Well, what do you think of that, Nat?"
46341As we stood there I chanced to overhear this remark:"How could you possibly have married such a vulgar little person?"
46341At the end of every act I simply said,"Go on,"and at the finish,"When do we produce that play?"
46341But San Francisco asked,"How can a man be a hero and have red hair?"
46341But Time looks sadly down upon the merry makers and the measured swing of the pendulum of thought and argument questions,"How long will it last?"
46341But after all-- what''s in a name?
46341But do the masses know?
46341By what right has the modern actor forsaken his frock coat for the sock and buskin?
46341Can you imagine anything more ludicrous than these psalm singers making arbitrary laws about the temperature of our food?
46341Cowardly?
46341Did he ever cause a ripple of laughter to equal those ripples set running by delightful Willie Collier?
46341Did he ever hold you enthralled in a spell of reverence, as did Salvini or John McCullough in his address to the Senate in"Othello"?
46341Did the public go to see the players or the play?
46341Do n''t you think I am frightened enough without this information?"
46341Do n''t you think him rather amusing?
46341Does it ever occur to these psalm singers that people do this of their own volition?
46341During the several months before my wife finally won(?)
46341Everybody loved him and who could help it?
46341Finally one of them approached Goodi and pulling off his cap asked,"It''s all right, guv''nor, but what do we get for our time?"
46341HE: Did he talk remarkably well to- night?
46341HE: Does he-- really?
46341HE: In what way?
46341HE: Really?
46341HE: Were those stories he told at dinner supposed to be funny?

46341Had he built a playhouse, like the man of his hour and time, Edwin Booth?
46341Had he during the last decade created any characters?
46341Had he produced any original plays, made any production, or even leased a theatre, like Mansfield, or Sothern, Irving, or Possart?
46341Has he maintained the dignity of the drama?
46341He continued,"Well, you do drink, do n''t you?"
46341He doubtless ruminated,"I must produce it; but how?"
46341He finished his remarks with,"Do you and your enlightened countrymen consider Mr. Corbett a good actor?"
46341He just looked at me a minute, his black eyes nearly popping out of his head, then indicating the bills and silver in his hand said solemnly,"Me?
46341He listened to their patronizing suggestions as to a consummation of the deal and, pointing to Rob, asked,"Is my pal included in this?"
46341He looked at them for a moment, then turned to one of his companions, saying:"Where is the per- per- picture of our Saviour?"
46341He was standing in the wings and as I came off I said,"What can I do, Mr. Robson?
46341Holy?
46341How long will it last?
46341How many knew the author or Joseph Brooks who presented us?
46341Humor?
46341I said,"Surely, you are not going to make good a promise made in jest?"
46341I shouted,"What''s the matter?"
46341I simply asked,"How did Mr. Warren like me?"
46341I think it was the summer of 1898( but what difference does it make?)
46341I was about to leave friends, family and a woman who was sure to loathe my name when she heard of my act-- and all for what?
46341I wonder how many readers cut out the pictures of those little cherubs,"Alan Dale"and"Vance"Thompson, and paste them in their scrap books?
46341I wonder if people go to see clever George Cohan or George Cohan''s play?
46341I wonder?
46341If the commercial gentlemen who wield the sceptre do but command submission what does it signify who pays the price of admission?
46341If they draw the money, what matter to the booking agent what amount of money has been invested?
46341If we worshipped you down here, what must they be doing for you now?
46341In a word did Mansfield ever make you really laugh or truly sob?
46341Instead of either of them I brought back a manuscript of a comedy called"What Would a Gentleman Do?"
46341Irving quietly looked up and queried,"And was it?"
46341Irving, calmly wiping his glasses, looked at him for a moment and asked,"Why not try one of the Scilly Islands?"
46341Is he still going strong in America?"
46341Is he supposed to be a comic man in your country?
46341Is it a crime to be respectable?
46341Is it a crime to have an honest fireside?
46341Is there anything in that frank, boyish countenance which even suggests a cold blooded, conscienceless murderer?
46341Jefferson, who was very literal, asked,"Is Sol tired?"
46341John Daly, the gambler?
46341Lackaye said,"Where are you going to- night, Sydney?"
46341ME, bet on a prize fight?
46341Never?
46341No art?
46341Now they thoroughly understand the story and wo n''t you please come to- night and tell the story over again?"
46341Now, do n''t you think it''s wise for me to paper the house?"
46341Of course not?
46341Of whom does he remind you, Rob?"
46341Oh why did I not go to Washington?
46341Out of my mouth issued these words:"Wo n''t you please come in, Max?"
46341Possessed of subtlety?
46341Rob asked,"How did he take it?"
46341SHE: By way of anecdotes and funny stories?
46341SHE: Of course; did n''t you hear the guests laugh?
46341Said Jefferson,"What load is he carrying?"
46341Shall I ever again enjoy that pleasure?
46341Shall we be?
46341Shall we join them?
46341The manager looked at him and replied:"My boy, where could I get the thousand?"
46341The owner started after him, but Travers held him back, saying,"Nev- nev- never mind the d- d- dog, wha- wha- what''ll you take for the rat?"
46341The real reason?
46341The star''s wife turned to me and asked,"What is the matter?
46341Then I turned and with all the force at my command snarled,"How now?"
46341Then ensued the following dialogue:-- SHE: Do you think him vulgar?
46341Then some extremely clever reviewer of prize fights comes forth with this headline:--"Why do Beautiful Women Shake Nat Goodwin?"
46341They had no thought of her anguish, her future and as for me-- of what matter my end?
46341Think of it, gentle(?)
46341To gratify his wife''s ambition would I secure her an opening on the stage or put her with some good tutor?
46341To which does he turn?
46341True, the man''s personality always transcends the characterization, but is n''t that true of all great actors?
46341Was he,"The Dean,"anything like what the author intended Bob Acres to be?
46341Was it fair to break up this happy home?
46341Was it her acting or the unwholesome notoriety that preceded us that had opened his discerning eyes?
46341Was this fair to her?
46341Was this fair to the public, to the author, to anyone?
46341Were the others?
46341What are you talking about?"
46341What did they know of me except through the newspapers?
46341What does it matter after all?
46341What edification can that give?
46341What honest actor does not?
46341What is he?
46341What is it?
46341What of it?
46341What will man not do for gold?
46341What will the verdict be?
46341When he had finished, I said,"For the love of heaven, Cazauran, why did you select me to play that gruesome tragedy rôle?"
46341Where began his gentle schooling?
46341Where does he come in?
46341Which star do John and the brilliant men I have mentioned occupy?
46341Which will it be?
46341Who does not find a hazardous game attractive?
46341Who shall say it is not the fault of those who have pointed the finger of scorn at a woman seeking only to do right?
46341Why be fair with anything or anybody?
46341Why ca n''t---- do this?"
46341Why cause the Indiana flowers to cry for a gardener-- for who will sing their praises when dear Jim has gone?
46341Why clog"The Old Swimmin''Hole"with weeds?
46341Why did he concentrate his force upon one sister at that interview and demand obedience?
46341Why did n''t he shut up all the barber shops and revoke the Gillette Safety Razor patent?
46341Why did n''t you put it in the bad eye?
46341Why do we court conflict with Fate when we know Fate is merciless?
46341Why is it so many women are such consummate actresses off the stage and such impossible amateurs on?
46341Why make humanity weep and chill our hearts?
46341Why not kill her and her paramour?
46341Why not?
46341Why should he disguise the fact that he was her friend?"
46341Why, oh why, did my mad passion for fish cakes cause me to tarry at the Metropole?
46341Why?
46341Will history do the little corporal justice?
46341Will the world ever be rid of this form of human parasite?
46341With all her powers, envied by the many, rich in worldly goods-- did those searching liquid orbs denote complete happiness?
46341Wo nt you give me an appointment tomorrow?
46341Would she exchange one for the other?

47491If this man, Tomlinson, got back his stolen property,asked Legree,"what became of the thieves?"
47491Is der money in der pox?
47491Is he coming on?
47491Is that man the one who helped rob Tomlinson, Matt?

47491We''re goin''t''take de hull outfit into Fairview?
47491Well, you made sure, did n''t you?
47491What are you going to do, Carl?
47491What business had you doing a thing like that?
47491What can your father do?
47491What did you leave the hang- out for?
47491What did yous do?
47491What do you think of that, O''Grady?
47491What does he say? 47491 What does it mean, Frank?
47491What o''that?
47491What trap?
47491What will you get for your work?
47491What you been doing?
47491What''re you doing here?
47491What''s he doing?
47491What''s it to you?
47491What''s that?
47491What''s that?
47491What''s the matter here?
47491What''s the matter with you, Legree?
47491What''s the matter?
47491What''s the use of denying yourself a good bed when you can just as well have one?
47491What''s the use of peppering them?
47491What''s this for?
47491What-- what happened?
47491What?
47491Where are you going, Matt?
47491Where are you taking me?
47491Where are you, Spang?
47491Where did th''lot av yez come from?
47491Where do you live when you''re at home?
47491Where''d Legree''s kid spring from? 47491 Where''s Brisco?"
47491Where''s Carl?
47491Where''s Motor Matt? 47491 Where''s the kid?"
47491Who are you, if you have n''t any objection to answerin''a straight question?
47491Who gets it, Matt?
47491Why did n''t you tell Motor Matt what you''ve told me?
47491Why did you get into that car? 47491 Why didun''yo''mascot dat''ar company so dat Brisco could n''t do lak what he done?
47491Why not get an officer here and----"Do you want to divide with an officer what the cattleman is willing to pay?
47491Why, yes, if you want to; but had n''t you better leave that box here?
47491Wot d''yous want me t''do, Matt? 47491 Wot d''youse take me fer?"
47491Wot did yous t''ink it was chased us up dem trees?
47491Wot keeps''i m in a trance?
47491Wot kin we do?
47491Wot kind of a smell is dat, cull? 47491 Wot yous goin''t''do, Matt?"
47491Wot''s dat fer?
47491Wot''s dat mug doin''dat for?
47491Would n''t I?
47491Would n''t dat crimp yous?
47491Would n''t dat frost yous?
47491You did n''t have a hand in robbing Mr. Tomlinson, did you?
47491You drugged both of us, then?
47491You knew the boy in Denver?
47491You say that both cars are in that''well,''as you call it?
47491You were keeping the box in the hope that Brisco would came after it and give you a chance at him, were n''t you?
47491Yous do n''t like t''hear anyt''ing rattle, hey?
47491Yous is wise t''why I went off wit''Brisco in dat runabout now, ai n''t yous? 47491 Aber meppy he hat his reasons, hey?
47491After that escape, what difficulty could come up that Motor Matt was not able to conquer?
47491Ai n''t dey no wagons in dis country?
47491And Eliza?
47491And what would Legree think?
47491And where have you been since you left Fairview?"
47491And why had he changed, and where had he left the car?
47491And you had n''t the least notion it was empty, had you?
47491And_ why_ had he gone?
47491Are we bot''goin''t''blow in dere an''try t''make a run wit''de red car?"
47491But wot''s yer game, cull?"
47491By th''same token, Oi felt loike tratin''th''mon white, d''yez see?
47491Ca n''t y''swim?"
47491Can we get there before they overtake us?"
47491Can you come Monday morning?"
47491Can you hear?"
47491Could he, by quick work, get one of the ropes around Klegg''s hands before he was thoroughly awake and able to struggle?
47491Could the villains really mean to destroy the Red Flier?
47491Did yous t''ink we was goin''t''have a race?"
47491Dis is almost too good t''be true, ai n''t it?"
47491Do you remember coming this way?"
47491Do you think Matt would pull out and leave you?"
47491Great, ai n''t it, how luck takes a shoot, once in a w''ile?
47491Had Brisco been tracking the unfortunate actors, and had he attempted to make way with the tin box just as Legree was about to secure it?
47491Had Carl, giving rein to some wild impulse, cranked up the car and started for a night ride?
47491Had he been drugged now?
47491Had they taken it away to destroy it?
47491Have you any idea?"
47491He had heard that voice somewhere before-- but where?
47491Heah dat, Unc''Tawn?"
47491How did you happen to get hold of the scoundrels?"
47491How in blazes do you think that happened?"
47491How much water does it take ter drown yous, Uncle Tom?
47491How much yo''willin''tuh pay fo''an official mascot by de monf?"
47491How vill dot pox helup you ged holt oof Prisco?"
47491How we goin''t''git away wit''de car if dey do n''t want us to?"
47491How''d he come to be along with King?"
47491How''ll you have us in the car, Motor Matt?"
47491I suppose you''re looking for Motor Matt?"
47491I''m wonderin''w''y Brisco dropped yous widin a short walk o''de hang- out-- dat is, if he was fixin''t''stay at de place?"
47491If I do n''t, and if anything happens to it, I''d look nice making my report to Tomlinson, would n''t I?"
47491If dat---- Wot''s de matter w''id yous?
47491If he could n''t get the Red Flier, why not take the runabout?
47491If it''s so valuable, why did n''t Legree take care of it himself?
47491If so, why, and by whom?
47491Is he killed?"
47491Is there a boy who has not longed to possess one of these swift little machines that scud about the roads everywhere throughout the United States?
47491Is there a boy, therefore, who will not be intensely interested in the adventures of"Motor Matt,"as he is familiarly called by his comrades?
47491Iss dere a pear aroundt here?"
47491Leedle Efa do n''t seem to cut mooch ice mit Legree, hey?

47491Now let me ask you how you and your mother are getting along?"
47491Nugent?"
47491Nugent?"
47491Page 4, removed unnecessary quote after"Legree was about to secure it?"
47491Put a bow- knot on his lunch- hooks?"
47491Raw?
47491See dat black splotch on de side o''de hill by de road?"
47491See?
47491See?

47491What d''ye think that infernal kid done ter him?"
47491What next, Matt?"
47491What was there he could do, afoot and seventy- five miles from town?
47491What were you and Topsy walking along by the river for?"
47491What yo''unnerstan''about luckosophy an''mascots?
47491What''s become of the automobile?"
47491What''s the news from the rear, Josh?"
47491Where had Brisco exchanged his seat in the runabout to the saddle of the horse?
47491Where had he gone?
47491Where''d those boys go?"
47491Where''d yous come from, yerself?
47491Where''s Motor Matt?"
47491Which one shall we take?
47491Who are they, Carl?
47491Who iss der odder peobles, Efa?"
47491Why did he trust it to you?"
47491Why doan''yo''-all git intuh de wagon?

47491Why was the car moving?
47491Will yez shtay f''r dinner?
47491With his temper at fever heat, what did he care how he injured the runabout just so he evened his score with Motor Matt?
47491Wot was happenin'', I says t''meself, an''w''y was it happenin''?
47491Wot yous done to Klegg?"
47491Wot''s de meanin''o''dat?"
47491Wot''s de play?"
47491Wot''s in yer block, Matt?"
47491Would Matt in any way endanger the car by staying a short time in Fairview?
47491You were n''t moseying out there just to give us a chance to lift that tin box, were you?
47491Yous could n''t make Tomlinson take dis car f''r de odder, could yous?"
47491Yous figgerin''on makin''a getaway wit''de runabout?"
47491asked Matt,"just as you stole Nugent''s?"
47491cried Carl;"vat iss dot?"
47491cried Eliza;"are they following us?"
47491he called,"what are you trying to do?"
47491sang out Legree from the top of the pine:"is everybody all right?"
34814( Hope is always promise- crammed, is n''t it?) 34814 And who''s to blame for that, my lady, but the player himself?
34814Anything wrong?
34814As much as that? 34814 Aw, what''s the matter with you?"
34814Blonde?
34814But what?
34814Call it acting to walk on and play yourself? 34814 Call that acting?"
34814Did Mr. Hartley-- did my husband say he expected me to wait?
34814Did n''t Tom tell you about it?... 34814 Did you know that the--_the_ lady was coming to Cleveland?"
34814Did-- did Mr. Hartley intimate----?
34814Do have a pillow!--there, is that more comfortable? 34814 Do you know, girlie,"he said,"do you know that with a little more fullness of figure and a pair of two- inch heels, you''d make a grand Lady Macbeth?
34814Do you mean that''these things''are a part-- a regular part-- of the business?
34814Do you remember the first time you came to me? 34814 Doc, what''s the best time your machine can make?
34814For Heaven''s sake do n''t give us away, will you?
34814For me?
34814Had any experience?
34814He''s just crazy about you, ai n''t he?
34814How do you like being married to a matinée idol?
34814How do you mean-- encouraged?
34814How do you suppose she explains it to----?
34814How does your part pan out?
34814How is the world using you? 34814 How long have you known Fannie?
34814How long will it take him to get here?
34814How was the house last night?
34814I ca n''t kill you very well without a knife, can I, Jack? 34814 I think I know what it is.... Will you lay me a wager?
34814I''ll give her back to you in a minute.... Mrs. Hartley, the ladies want to know how it feels to watch your husband make love to another woman?
34814Is Mr. Frohman in?
34814Is he a manager, or a producer, or?--?
34814Is he?
34814Is it right?... 34814 Is that so?
34814Is that what you were going to show me? 34814 It was decent of the Doc, was n''t it?
34814It''s a beastly day, is n''t it? 34814 It''s a clipping from the Club Window....""Then you''ve seen it?"
34814It''s a long way from Broadway, eh, girlie?
34814Little girl, why do n''t you persuade him to give up the stage and go back to the law?
34814My dear,I responded feebly,"my dear, do n''t you realize what an awful old chestnut that neglected wife story is?
34814My husband... do you think it''s right to him?...
34814O, come now-- don''t spring that old gag on your friend the Doc.... What do you care as long as he does n''t get on to it?... 34814 O... so you''ve been listening to gossip, have you?
34814Of course I''ve seen it, silly man-- hasn''t everybody seen it? 34814 One season on the road with Mr. O''Brien''s Company, but of course I''ve played in amateur theatricals for....""Voice strong?"
34814Play the game?
34814Pretty little figure... what d''ye weigh?
34814Right? 34814 Say, little woman, you did put it all over me there in Cincinnati, did n''t you?...
34814Scared? 34814 Shall you be late?"
34814Show me what?
34814Signed for next season?
34814So that''s what you think, is it?... 34814 So this is why you would n''t join our party, eh?
34814So you''ve turned against me, too, have you? 34814 Suppose one has children?"
34814Then so far, it is clear, is it not?... 34814 Then, in the name of common sense, dear girl, why did you go on the stage?
34814This far? 34814 Was she afraid to go back home?"
34814Well, little girl, what have you got to say for yourself?... 34814 Well, suppose he is?"
34814Well, you look the part all right.... How much experience have you had?
34814Were you in Cleveland?
34814What are you laughing at?
34814What do you think of him trying to put it over me?
34814What do you think of the play?
34814What good would that have done? 34814 What have you been doing to Alice?
34814What kind of a part is it?
34814What knife?
34814What led you to believe she had better sense?--anything in her past performances?
34814What time is it?... 34814 What''s the salary?"
34814What''s this?
34814What--_what_ must you think of me?
34814Where are you going?
34814Where''s the knife-- the fatal dagger?
34814Why confine it to Boston? 34814 Why did n''t they purloin a beer- stein, quiescent on a japanned tray?"
34814Why do you always bring my husband into the conversation? 34814 Why not buy several hundred feet of red- backed books, like a certain politician who wanted to fill up the wall space in his library?"
34814Why not?
34814Will-- weren''t they_ horribly_ expensive?
34814Will... do you mean to tell me that you never encouraged this woman?
34814Wo n''t you sit down? 34814 Yes?"
34814You believe actresses are any worse, even as bad, as the women I met at dinner last week?
34814You do n''t suppose you can carry that Buster around in your arms, do you? 34814 You infer, then, that the society lady sins for love only-- and that the actress bestows her affection for purely mercenary motives?"
34814You wanted to see Mrs. Hartley, did n''t you? 34814 You''re not much of a drinker, are you?"
34814_ O, is it?_retorts the leading man.
34814( Why_ will_ doctors condemn the corset?)
34814..."Doctor, will you answer me a question-- truthfully, I mean?"
34814..."Has the sister arrived?"
34814A minister?
34814ARE YOU INTERESTED in the Preservation of the Race?
34814After all, what did it matter where I went?...
34814After he had"let her out a bit"and showed me what she could do, he slowed up and turned to me with a little laugh,"That''s going some, is n''t it?"
34814Agreed?"
34814All art needs fostering, and who better able to help the climbers than----?"
34814And do you mind how ye locked him up in your bathroom when you went to the theatre and how he ate the matting off the floor while ye was gone?"
34814And had I not already prostituted the best that was in me?
34814And is n''t the boy the livin''image of his father?"
34814And let us assume that he did: How long do you think it would last?
34814And the woman-- and the two little girls... what of them?...
34814And was n''t my Willy furiously angry?
34814And what does this separation lead to in the end?
34814And what manner of men are they who_ do_ marry a girl out of the chorus?
34814And would n''t I look nice climbing on and off trains, and coming into hotels with a baby in my arms?
34814And your missus?
34814And, after all, what did it matter?
34814Anyway, that''s the kind of bunk you''re up against when you marry in the profession.... Where was I?...
34814Are n''t parents a conceited lot?"
34814Are n''t you going to shake hands?...
34814Are you familiar with the symptoms of the grippe?"
34814As he passed on behind her chair he said to her_ sotto voce_,"Headache, eh?
34814As my little friend had put it,"What incentive have they to go straight?"
34814But even the officer laughed when Santy touched him on the arm and in a"tough"dialect asked him,"Say Bill, do youse believe in fairies?"
34814But is the economic welfare of the child the prime and only consideration?
34814But, wait awhile.... Have you finished with your tea?
34814Can I give all a man expects from the woman he makes his wife?
34814Can the influence of unwelcome conception upon the child itself ever be computed?
34814Can there be no relationship between man and woman disassociated from sex?
34814Can you beat it?
34814Could n''t you have gone to another hotel?"
34814Did I still love him despite his infidelities, his ever- increasing neglect and selfishness?
34814Did n''t I predict what would happen?"
34814Did she intend to kill him or kill herself?
34814Did you ever see anything like it?
34814Do I flatter myself that I have caught your eye once or twice as the curtain falls?
34814Do I know her?"
34814Do n''t I look a sight?"
34814Do n''t you love it?"
34814Do n''t you think so?"
34814Do they instinctively demand a higher code of honour from their kind while meekly acquiescent to the conventional license for men?
34814Do you know you never sent me that box of candy I won from you in Cincinnati?
34814Do you recognize that?
34814Do you suppose that side of it ever reaches the public?
34814Do you think any yellow sheet ever let an opportunity like that go by?...
34814Do you think it''s right?..."
34814Do you understand my scruples?
34814Doc, who''s he got with him?"
34814Does every wife suspect her husband''s stenographer?"
34814Edith knows how cold- blooded he is, do n''t you, Edith?
34814Edith will call us if she awakens, wo n''t you, Edith?"
34814Electricity had been harnessed, why not love?
34814F.?...
34814For God''s sake, child, what''s happened to you?
34814For the sake of the family they keep up appearances.... She does n''t understand him....""Did_ he_ tell you that-- and you_ believe_ it?"
34814Frohman?"
34814Had I professed or felt any emotion other than which I indicated?
34814Had the husband arrived to demand Heaven only knew what?...
34814Had this man by look or word professed other than friendship for me?
34814Hartley?"
34814Have I succeeded, do you think?
34814Have n''t you one honest, sincere emotion in your nature?
34814Have you ever thought of the time when you will be no longer young?
34814Have you no shame, have you no reverence for the memory of that sainted child?...
34814He forestalled any alarm about his health by saying he was not ill, but had he told the truth?
34814He leaned across the table with a confidential air and smiled quizzically...."Do you remember the last time we had supper together?"
34814He looked at me with his eyes narrowed to mere slits...."Well, little woman, I ca n''t say that of you, can I?...
34814He seemed to have talked himself out...."Which of them is it?...
34814He told me you were Mrs. Hartley in private life.... Well, what''s the answer?"
34814He was what they call the''Acting Manager,''travelled on the road and represented the New York office-- understand?
34814He''ll want a bite to eat anyway, and why not be sociable?
34814Her eyes met mine, then wavered and drooped, and drooping rested upon the violets-- and we both understood...."Wo n''t you sit down?"
34814Her invariable"Now, ma''am, what''ll I fly at next?"
34814How can any one be flattered by the saccharine platitudes which are ground out automatically like chewing- gum from a slot- machine?
34814How dare you conjure with my son''s name?...
34814How do you mean?
34814How does anybody know what I''ve suffered for years living with that man?...
34814How few planned with the wish to bestow the best of one''s flesh and spirit upon the little stranger?
34814How goes your own work?
34814How long do you believe your mad passion would endure, stripped of little appurtenances like wine suppers and suites of rooms in the best hotels?...
34814How long has she been sick?"
34814How long is your wife going to be in town?"
34814How many births the result of accident?
34814How many children, I wonder, are conceived in the same spirit?
34814How will you live?
34814How''s your pulse?"
34814I ask myself, can a woman love more than once?
34814I believe that really was the case, was it not?"
34814I believe with Bernard Shaw:''They say-- what do they say?
34814I could not prevent myself from saying,"Do you think it is nice to befoul your own nest?"
34814I had already tasted of this bitterness-- was I now to be surfeited with it?
34814I have apologized.... After all, what are we rowing about?
34814I indicated the apartment, the piano, the silk négligée-- and the ring on her finger...."Is it worth the price you are paying?"
34814I like the single variety best, do n''t you, Will?
34814I presume you are right.... How did I come to go on the stage?...
34814I said finally...."Leila, is it worth it?"
34814I stopped up my ears to shut out his voice...."How did it begin?"
34814I suppose you''re wondering how I got wise to it?
34814I think he understood, for as I passed him he said to me in a low, intense tone,"Is that beast annoying you?"
34814I want my gurgle of delight to get_ over_--understand?...
34814I watched you to- night, and the way you manipulated the glasses was a scream.... Do you know you made a great hit with the doctor?
34814I wonder why it is that women invariably punish their own sex and exempt the man?
34814I would tell him the whole miserable experience... and he... what would_ he_ do?
34814I''d----""Do n''t you think you are wearing that threat a little threadbare?"
34814If life was barren now, what should it be without him?
34814If you had some men to deal with... how many of''em can stand up against that sort of thing without losing their heads?...
34814Is it not possible?
34814Is n''t that a proof of my devotion?
34814Is the physical protection the one and uppermost consummation to be desired?
34814Is there a love for youth, a love for maturity?...
34814Is there anything I can do?"
34814It fits you like a glove; and, speaking of parts, what do you think of_ that_ for a star- part?
34814It goes without saying that I should not escape the inevitable question,"How did I feel when I saw my husband making love to another woman?"
34814It is n''t every wife who can support her husband, is it, old man?"
34814It was the woman who spoke...."Who''ve you got with you?"
34814It was with almost superhuman effort I framed the words...."Shall I... send for his father?..."
34814It''s a mistake to be too fastidious....""Is-- is-- he married?"
34814It''s awfully good of you to bother about me....""Leila?"
34814It''s nice, is n''t it?
34814Jones?"
34814Leila, dear girl, could n''t you make up your mind to stick it out just a little while longer?...
34814Let me think, now, what was his name?
34814May not criminal tendencies and moral delinquencies be traced to such a source?
34814Might I not, after all, with patience, devotion, tolerance and a single- heartedness of purpose lead his wandering steps back to me?
34814My God, where is your sense of honour?
34814No doubt our friend, here, has done his best to put you wise, eh?
34814Now, for the first time, I understood Will''s watchfulness-- perhaps I understood why the star''s wife had so sad a face...."And what?"
34814On what pretence?
34814Perhaps it was not of great consequence, but, does a woman ever forgive a man for wounding her self- respect?...
34814Put your arms around my neck.... You have n''t fainted, have you?"
34814SHALL OUR WOMEN BE SACRIFICED?
34814Shall I be giving, does any man give, what he demands of a woman as the prerogative of his sex?
34814She argued that, since father had left us comfortably fixed, why should I want to worry my head about work?
34814She''s been so upset at not hearing from you.... Do you mind stepping into the hall where we can talk more freely without danger of disturbing her?...
34814Should I be able to steer his craft, even launch it safely,_ preparedly_ on the turbulent sea of life?
34814Simultaneously Mr. Jones appears L. I. E."I''m sorry,"he says,"but I could n''t butt in through the stone walls of the castle, now could I?"
34814So you''re an_ ingénue_"( he pronounced it as if it were spelled_ on- je- new_),"are you?"
34814Suppose I were to divorce my husband, naming you as co- respondent: do you flatter yourself he would marry you?
34814Suppose_ you_ do n''t get away with it... suppose your husband divorces you... what will become of you?
34814That was the last I heard of it until rehearsal was called and I learned that you had been engaged.... Tell me, honestly, what''s the matter with me?
34814That''s what queered me with C. F.... Then, what d''ye think I did?"
34814The idea was repugnant, but was it not all revolting in the extreme?
34814The streets, the work- house, or suicide.... Have you thought of that?"
34814The way she said,"Yes?"
34814Then why permit the bond to be severed by a wholly suppositious breach?
34814Then, before I go to the performance, we''ll outline some plan of action....""What do you want me to do?"
34814There are so many evil- minded people in the world-- don''t you find it so?"
34814There''s my club address... and, little lady-- don''t be afraid that I''ll ask anything in return-- do you follow me?
34814These damned women are always worse when they get along in life....""What did this''club''woman expect of you?...
34814They''ve got your eyes, though they have inherited Fannie''s regular features...."Would my tongue never stop wagging?
34814This trip I brought Boy to Chicago.... You have n''t seen my young son, have you?
34814Together you can cook up something to placate the irate husband....''Ca n''t you just hear the old Doc roar?
34814Was I, too, become impregnated with the corroding influence of my environment?
34814Was friendship between persons of opposite sex not possible?
34814Was it a case of self- hypnosis and was I really feeling the interest and friendliness I pretended?
34814We looked into each other''s eyes.... After a while I managed to say,"Well, dear?"
34814We''ve been worried to death... she''s asleep now, after the most racking night... do you mind not waking her for the present?...
34814What am I to do?
34814What did Will mean by"need your presence"?
34814What did she want?"
34814What do you say?"
34814What have I to give?
34814What in the name of wonder ever took you on the comic opera stage?
34814What incentive has a girl like me to be good?
34814What manner of woman had I suddenly become?
34814What of the spiritual, the moral side of the stage- child?
34814What of?"
34814What on earth was the trouble?
34814What right have you to expect_ anything_ from your wife?
34814What right have you to judge?
34814What was it which held me to my husband?
34814What was the woman to me that I should exert myself to put her at ease with herself?
34814What was there to say?
34814What will you wager that I can guess what that paper is the very first time?"
34814What''s the matter?
34814When are you coming out of the nunnery?..."
34814Where are you stopping?
34814Where do you carry it all?"
34814Where had I met her husband and when?
34814Where were you sitting?
34814Where_ did_ you learn to make love?
34814Who did you mean by''the rest''--women as a class-- the class you go about with-- or the women of the stage?"
34814Why did n''t you hand him one?
34814Why did n''t you smack his face?"
34814Why did n''t you tell me you were coming?"
34814Why did n''t you tell me you were married?
34814Why do n''t I get on?
34814Why do n''t you introduce me to some of your gentlemen friends?"
34814Why honour parents who are not qualified to command either respect or affection?
34814Why not Philadelphia, Washington or----?"
34814Why waste money?...
34814Why were not all husbands and wives as much in love with each other as were Will and I?
34814Why, do n''t you know who he is?
34814Why?
34814Will was not altogether satisfied with his rôle, but what actor ever is?
34814Would n''t that be Frank just down to the ground?
34814Would the dinner never come to an end?
34814Would they never go?
34814You can show up bright and early to- morrow-- don''t you intend to take the engagement?"
34814You do n''t think he turns''em_ all_ down, do you?
34814You know how they feel about the stage....""What about me?"
34814You remember the nice things she wrote about me when I played Chicago the last time?
34814You''ve been discussing me between you, is that it?
38610''What is a man If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed? 38610 A man?"
38610Afraid of what?
38610After making such a fizzle to- day? 38610 Ah, Brandon,"he said to the officer,"another one?"
38610All?
38610Am I so famous as that?
38610An insane person?
38610An''did he hev ther gall to write to ye?
38610An''got drownded?
38610And I suppose you think this is my hoodoo?
38610And all that money is yourn?
38610And did not find another?
38610And he is in Denver?
38610And these are the witnesses?
38610And where is the lady who makes the charge?
38610And yeou faound it?
38610And you refused?
38610Are you certain?
38610Are you sick?
38610Are you sure there was n''t any money in it when you examined it?
38610Are you sure?
38610At what?
38610Be yeou goin''to hit where ye''re lookin''?
38610Blanche,he whispered, huskily,"can you forgive your old dad for treating you as he has?
38610But Mr. Folansbee''s goin''to take keer of this comp''ny, ai n''t he? 38610 But do n''t you have any papers, any letters, anything to tell you the things you wish to know?"
38610But what''s the matter? 38610 But why should she be on this train?"
38610But you were not at the hotel last night?
38610By that I presume you mean he is a bucker?
38610Can you get your business here done to- day?
38610Did he come down from there? 38610 Did he know them?"
38610Did ye git ther critter?
38610Did you mistake this person for the veiled woman I meant?
38610Did you say you were at liberty?
38610Disappeared-- gone? 38610 Do n''t let who get away?"
38610Do they keep you shut up in that room?
38610Do ye?
38610Do you actually refuse?
38610Do you call him your friend?
38610Do you mean that I am insane?
38610Do you mean this?
38610Do you own him?
38610Do you remember me?
38610Do you think I would not know him anywhere-- under any circumstances? 38610 Do you think I would take that man for a woman with a perfect figure, such as you described?
38610Does he snore loudly?
38610Driver,he cried,"did n''t you take a person on in woman''s clothes at the station and let one off in man''s clothes just now?"
38610Find her?
38610For what?
38610For what?
38610Good for that? 38610 Got two thousand dollars?"
38610Haow did it happen?
38610Haow much''ll yeou hev arter yeou divide?
38610Has he ever been ridden?
38610Has he fallen heir to a fortune?
38610Hate them, Hodge?
38610Have n''t you any way of getting hold of money?
38610Have you been able to raise enough to take us all back to Denver, Frank?
38610Have you?
38610Hawse or kaow?
38610He has n''t come?
38610He was trying to throw you over?
38610Her heart?
38610Hev ye gotter hit him real hard? 38610 How can you be?"
38610How did it happen? 38610 How do you know, Havener?"
38610How do you know?
38610How do you like the looks of it?
38610How do you mean?
38610How have I acted to make you fancy me demented?
38610How is that?
38610How long ago?
38610How much have you raised?
38610How much time have you now?
38610How was she dressed? 38610 How?"
38610How?
38610How?
38610How?
38610I did?
38610I presume you are thinking of getting back to New York?
38610I presume you will pay Lloyd Fowler two weeks salary?
38610I suppose you must have one that has some reference to college?
38610I thought you were on the road with your show?
38610I wonder how he takes it?
38610If this woman follows you, what will you do?
38610Is it possible she is one of those foolish women who fall in love with actors?
38610Is it possible you have read that paper you hold in your hand?
38610Is it possible?
38610Is n''t this rather late for a call? 38610 Is that so?"
38610Is that so?
38610Is the old fellow bound out to you?
38610Is this the best saddle horse you have?
38610Is this true?
38610Is this yere your tenderfoot what yer told us ye was goin''ter learn a lesson, Hough?
38610It''s all right to say let him go, but what are you going to do without him? 38610 Jumped?"
38610Kin you ride?
38610Know whom?
38610Look here, young man,he cried,"I''d like to know where you ever learned to ride bucking bronchos?"
38610Madam,he said,"what have I ever done to you that you should attempt to injure me in this manner?"
38610Madam,said Frank, hurriedly,"are you demented?
38610May we come in?
38610Me?
38610Merry,he said, at last, beginning to tremble all over,"are you sure this is good?
38610Monotonous? 38610 News?"
38610Now, can you produce the receipt given you for that treasure?
38610Now, what''s the matter with you?
38610Of whom-- Havener?
38610Oh, there are?
38610Perhaps you know him?
38610Shall not?
38610She?
38610Sick?
38610Singing?
38610Sir?
38610Skipped?
38610So yeou could git yeour share of the boodle?
38610So you are Mr. Frank Merriwell?
38610So you are going to turn me down because I made that talk? 38610 So you refuse me an engagement, do you, Merriwell?"
38610Somebody else?
38610Surely you are not in earnest, Merriwell?
38610That?
38610That?
38610Then I trust you will permit me to remain, and see that you do not meet with any misfortune?
38610Then he got erway?
38610Then it is a female?
38610Then it was Fowler with him?
38610Then some of the others have a new engagement?
38610Then what is crawling over you? 38610 Then why do n''t you let the show business alone and go back to college on that?"
38610Then you contemplate returning to college?
38610Then you have been arrested in Denver before? 38610 Then you have found Prof. Fillmore''s relatives?"
38610Then you saw-- you knew it was a man?
38610Then your backer is all right? 38610 They?
38610Think I could n''t follow Bill Dover and his spotted nigh hawse?
38610Use? 38610 Waal, he did n''t sign his name Hayward Grace, so it seems he ai n''t her husband; do n''t it, Frank?"
38610Waal, whut in time''s sake is goin''on here, I''d like ter know?
38610Was I? 38610 Was it a spook?"
38610Was n''t?
38610Well, I presume you will give me a chance when you take the play out again?
38610Well, I wonder what that means?
38610Well, how in the world did you happen to get such a foolish notion into your head?
38610Well, what are you going to do about it?
38610Well, what do you think of him?
38610Well, what shall we do?
38610Well, where is Merriwell?
38610Well,he said,"did you find her?"
38610Well?
38610Wh-- a-- at?
38610What about him?
38610What ailed her?
38610What ailed her?
38610What ails him?
38610What ails you?
38610What are those fellows doing to that poor man?
38610What are you doing with a play? 38610 What are you doing?
38610What are you going to do without a backer?
38610What are you talking about?
38610What can I do for you?
38610What can we do?
38610What did she do?
38610What did you mean by that, Frank?
38610What did you see?
38610What do yeou think of that?
38610What do you make of it?
38610What do you make of it?
38610What do you mean?
38610What do you take me for? 38610 What do you think about it now?"
38610What do you want?
38610What has happened?
38610What have we struck?
38610What is his name?
38610What is it?
38610What is it?
38610What is the charge?
38610What is the matter with your eyes?
38610What is the matter?
38610What is the matter?
38610What is the use to take it differently?
38610What makes you think so?
38610What makes you think so?
38610What sort of a part is it?
38610What was he doing out here?
38610What was the matter?
38610What was the name before?
38610What woman?
38610What''s happened?
38610What''s that?
38610What''s that?
38610What''s the matter with me?
38610What''s the matter with your face? 38610 What''s the matter, Bart?"
38610What''s the matter?
38610What''s the matter?
38610What''s the matter?
38610What''s the use to remember unpleasant things?
38610What''s the use? 38610 What''s this for?"
38610What''s this mean? 38610 What''s this?"
38610What''s this?
38610What-- what is it?
38610What?
38610What?
38610What?
38610What?
38610What?

38610When?
38610Where are they?
38610Where are you going?
38610Where did you stay last night?
38610Where is Cassie?
38610Where is all the money coming from?
38610Where is our energetic young manager?
38610Where is the lady, Brandon?
38610Where is the lady?

38610Who knows her?
38610Who knows? 38610 Who says so?"
38610Who was the lady?
38610Who was the woman?
38610Who''s Mrs. Hayward Grace?
38610Who''s that?

38610Why are you not dressed in the garments of your sex?
38610Why confined there?
38610Why did n''t you put a bit in his mouth? 38610 Why did she go out there?"
38610Why do you wish me to, speak again?
38610Why in the name of everything peculiar does n''t he get into gear and do something-- if he''s going to do anything at all?
38610Why in the world did you let her in?
38610Why not?
38610Why not?
38610Why not?
38610Why not?
38610Why should that make you think so?
38610Why would n''t it be a purty good thing fer ther young chaps all ter take a drink?
38610Why, who is this fellow that seeks to create a disturbance?
38610Why?
38610Will you come to the station?
38610Will you kindly tell me what occurred on the street?
38610Will you listen to his base falsehoods?
38610Will you sit down?
38610Wo n''t?
38610Wonder what made her laugh like that?
38610Would you keep a lady standing on the street?
38610Wouldst offer me such a part? 38610 You always were a practical joker,"he growled;"but do n''t you think it''s about time to let up?
38610You are very kind,she fluttered;"but where is the officer?
38610You confess that?
38610You do n''t mean to say you will keep him after what has happened?
38610You do n''t suppose anything has happened to detain him, do you?
38610You do?
38610You give your word to that?
38610You have?
38610You know it is a drama of college life-- life at Yale?
38610You know me?
38610You-- you''ve what?
38610You?
38610You?
38610Young man,he said,"dost know what thou hast done?
38610Your money?
38610Your play?
38610231?"
38610Acknowledge that I failed in this undertaking?
38610Ai n''t this a fine day?
38610Ai n''t yeou glad yeou''re livin''?''
38610And did he climb back up this swaying, loosely dangling rope?"
38610And why did he come here?"
38610And you are accused of insulting a lady?"
38610Are n''t you getting tired of the West?
38610Are you sure there is no crooked business behind it?"
38610But what about the veiled man who was disguised as a woman?
38610But what happened to detain you?"
38610But where is this purse you snatched from her?"
38610But where was the fellow?
38610But where was the woman?
38610Ca n''t you find time to write to us and let us know?
38610Ca n''t you see?
38610Carson?"
38610Carson?"
38610Could it be Hodge had been mistaken?
38610Could it be that Burns, the old actor, whom he had befriended, had sought his life?
38610Do n''t yeou s''pose he might hit back?"
38610Do people usually ride with hackamores out here?"
38610Do you suppose the Wall Street magnates could have become millionaires if they had permitted their conscience to worry them over little points?"
38610Dost think I-- I who have played_ Hamlet_,_ Brutus_,_ Lear_ and_ Othello_--would stoop so low?
38610F.''Now, I wonder what one of my enemies can be fitted to those initials?"
38610Had Merry gone mad?
38610Had his misfortune turned his brain?
38610Had she moved to escape observation?
38610Haow''s that?"
38610Have I interrupted you?"
38610Have n''t I had enough troubles?"
38610Have you ever met him?
38610Have you lost your senses?"
38610He could not see Havener, but heard his voice, and eagerly asked:"Did ye ketch the dratted critter?"
38610He had failed?
38610He''s goin''to take it back to Denver?"
38610He''s standing by you?"
38610How can you do better?"
38610How did he escape?
38610How do you know it was her?"
38610How had anything gained admittance?
38610How had he entered?
38610How long will it take to get your play in shape again?"
38610How many of the craowd saw what happened''tween yeou an''the woman?"
38610How now, fellow?''"
38610How?"
38610I suppose you have a plan of it?"
38610I suppose you will get rid of him in a hurry now?"
38610I suppose you''ll be thinking of rewarding the ladies and gentlemen who called here a short time ago and attempted to bulldoze you?"
38610If not for robbery, what then?
38610Is it possible there are two William Shakespeare Burns in the city of Denver?"
38610Is she alone?"
38610Merriwell?"
38610Merriwell?"
38610Merriwell?"
38610Merriwell?"
38610Merriwell?"
38610Naow whut do yeou think of that?
38610Naow, what du yeou think of that?
38610Next the bobbing man was questioned:"Did you witness the assault on the lady, sir?"
38610Now, is this more of your joking, Merriwell?
38610Placing it on his head, he thrust his right hand into the bosom of his coat, struck a pose, and cried:"''Are yet two Romans living such as these?
38610Shall we put you down for a song?"
38610The policeman came up and forced his way through the crowd, demanding:"What does this mean?
38610The sergeant turned sharply on the little man, to whom he fired the question:"Did you witness this assault on the unknown lady, sir?"
38610Then be yeou goin''to keep right on with the play?"
38610Then he jumped up, almost shouting:"Why, man alive, do n''t you understand that we are charged with murder-- with murder?"
38610Then the sergeant came at the gallant man with the same question:"Did you witness the assault on the lady, sir?"
38610There were excited faces at the glass in the door, and a trainman came out, demanding:"What is all this?
38610To go back to Yale, was it not?"
38610Use?
38610Was he in Denver?
38610Was he in his hour of need to receive this immense sum of money?
38610Was it in the piece, or in the way it had been played?
38610Was it possible that he was not dreaming?
38610Was it some good spirit that hovered near to protect him?
38610Was the masked man waiting for him in the darkness of the alcove?
38610Was the woman aware that she was being watched?
38610Was there anything in those letters you did not like?"
38610Well, I apologized, did n''t I?"
38610Well, now, sir, what do you think of that?"
38610Well, say, why ca n''t you come out to my ranch and do the work?"
38610What are you made of, anyway?"
38610What do you take us for-- a lot of chumps?
38610What do you think?
38610What do you want, anyway?
38610What do you wish me to say?"
38610What does it mean?"
38610What in the name of creation do you suppose I meant?"
38610What in the world do you fancy is the matter with my eyes?"
38610What is happening here?"
38610What is the meaning of this?"
38610What was it they had expected?
38610What was it?
38610What was that?
38610What was the matter?
38610What was there in that room?
38610What were you working for?
38610What''re yer givin''us, anyway?"
38610What''s the matter?"
38610When Merry finished, Bart exclaimed:"How did the woman look?"
38610Where is she?"
38610Where was Scudder?
38610Where was the fault?
38610Who is going to ride them to- night?"
38610Who is she?"
38610Who was Old Eli?"
38610Who''s this that''s comin''here to spoil our fun?"
38610Who?"
38610Why are you out here?
38610Why ca n''t you make a visit to Yale before vacation time?
38610Why did n''t those old duffers use English, and save us poor devils no end of grinding?
38610Why did n''t you draw one on''The First Sand Bank of Denver''?
38610Why did she try such a trick on the street?"
38610Why do you suppose Latin and Greek were invented?
38610Why had the man sought the bed?
38610Why should I not?
38610Why should n''t I call him my friend?
38610Why should that unfortunate old fellow wish to harm me, who has been his friend?"
38610Why was the man veiled and disguised thus?"
38610Why?
38610Will you give it to me?"
38610Will you have a drink with me?"
38610Will you not lift your veil and permit me to see your face, so that I may know who has brought me into this unpleasant position?"
38610Wo n''t my boy at Yale be surprised when I write him you''ve been visiting me?
38610Would I?
38610Would you have me do that?"
38610Wouldst do me a favor?
38610Wut was her little game?"
38610You are talking about putting your play out again, but how will you do it?"
38610You do not fancy for an instant that Burns was the man, do you?"
38610Your very valuable(?)
38610but how can I thus lower myself?"
38610do n''t you think you can arrange it so you can come East this summer?
38610he exclaimed;"is it you?"
38610wot cher doin''?"
33537A lifetime almost?
33537Ah, yes, yes, that''s what we want to get at-- who is that mother? 33537 And your name is-- er?"
33537Are you going on?
33537Are you mad, girl?
33537But what are you going to do at night?
33537But what can I do for a horse?
33537But where, in the name of Heaven, did you get your information?
33537But,I objected,"he had been dead many hours before the song came to me?"
33537But,cried Mr. Davenport,"where''s-- w- who''s_ Emilia_?"
33537But_ of_ what?
33537Can you go on there?
33537Can you not see, Father,he said,"these lines are spoken in a frenzy?
33537Could I do those two lines?
33537Cut out?
33537D- d- don''t you know me?
33537Did she now?
33537Die? 33537 Do I think so?"
33537Do I wish it?
33537Do you hear?
33537Do you think so?
33537Do you think so?
33537For me?
33537I to play that child? 33537 If Miss Cushman is not a murderess, pray how can she act_ Lady Macbeth_--who is?"
33537If you were to live with your brother, might not that help to keep you strong?
33537Leading business here?
33537Mother,I called, the door being open between our rooms,"Mother, did you hear me singing just now?"
33537Mother,said I,"is there anything in that paper that will interest me?"
33537Mr. Barrett,I asked,"do you wish me to play_ Marie_ now?"
33537Mr. Gould,he cried( my heart gave a jump at the name; to save my life I could not help glancing back at them),"how dare you pass the stage- door?
33537No benefit for our poor? 33537 No,"she said;"were you?"
33537No? 33537 No?"
33537Now can you tell me who that is a miniature of?
33537Oh,I cried,"can you tell me what it was I sang?"
33537Oh,laughed the first,"I see, you mean that Mrs. Ellsler will claim the leading parts as long as she lives?
33537Paid him?
33537Perhaps you''d have some of the men carry knives,sneered Cazauran,"and then she could be stabbed?"
33537Ready, Miss Morris?
33537Suit the action to the word?
33537Tell me,he went on,"have you ever been annoyed by anyone?"
33537That''s it,he said,"that''s whom it means; but are you sure the word''queen''belongs right there?"
33537The piano?
33537The third what?
33537Then,I asked,"why not extreme emotion acting upon a weak heart?"
33537Three years? 33537 Well,"he smiled,"''just Clara,''have you formed any idea of this_ Marie''s_ character?"
33537Well,she exclaimed, a bit impatiently,"what do you_ want_ to do?
33537What are you going to wear, Miss Morris?
33537What do you mean?
33537What in the world are you thinking of, Miss Clara?
33537What is it?
33537What is it?
33537What is it?
33537What''s that got to do with it?
33537What''s the matter with you?
33537What,I asked, dully,"what is a message?"
33537What?
33537What?
33537Who are you?
33537Who gave it to you?
33537Who is she-- have you seen her-- the wonderful Columbus ballet- girl, who wins tears with tears, real ones, too?
33537Who?
33537Why, what on earth has Clara done?
33537Yes, sir?
33537Yes,I broke in impatiently, and turning to her a pair of reproachful, tear- filled eyes,"yes, but why?
33537You do n''t send your handkerchiefs to the wash, do you?
33537You think her a great, great way from you?
33537You wo n''t forget your promise about doubling the salary?
33537_ Alixe?_I cried.
33537_ Will_ you speak louder?
33537''er, Miss Morris, what are you going to do there as the curtain falls?
33537( Yes, what the blankety, blankety, blanknation does bring you here, crummie girl?)
33537A big boy on the corner yelled after me:"S- a- a- y, Sis, where''s the fire?"
33537A cold terror seized upon me-- a terror of what, the public?
33537A governess in a rich purple?
33537A trick?
33537Act it, in cold blood, there, in the gray, lifeless daylight?
33537After a little silence, he said:"You can not sanction this scene, then, Father?"
33537Again I find:"Undoubtedly you are the strongest, the most original, and the youngest leading lady in the profession-- but why take any risk?
33537Again he repeated the words, adding, impatiently:"I ca n''t place that silver foot-- the bow, the lyre, yes; but the foot?
33537And as I resumed my run I said to myself:"What is it that has tried so hard to tell me-- to warn me?
33537And in my own exaggerated, impatient words I found my first hint--"why_ not_ begin to die in the first act?"
33537And swiftly I made answer:"A writing- desk; why?"
33537And those children-- were they not charming?
33537And when he saw my bewilderment, he added:"Do n''t you see?
33537And while I ran away to change, he called after me:"Say,''Jones''s Baby''is n''t on to- night, is it?"
33537And why should I not make a favorable impression?
33537And why should Mr. Daly wish to see me privately?
33537And wigs?
33537Are you afraid even to be seen listening to me?"
33537As I obediently returned to my room, I said, in a troubled voice:"What do you suppose it means, mother?"
33537As I raised my head from kissing my mother a Happy New Year, I remarked:"The streets are in a terrible condition for a great fire-- are they not?"
33537As I signed my name on the salary list I hesitated perceptibly and he laughingly said:"Do n''t you know your own name?"
33537As Mr. Couldock was heard approaching that morning, his daughter quickly whispered to Mrs. Ellsler:"Ask pa how he liked California?"
33537As he said laughingly to a friend, at the end of the first season:"Good work, eh?
33537Baby, are you hurt?"
33537Bad?
33537Between the acts he said to me:"Have you any opinion of_ Marie_, Miss er-- er?"
33537But I only thought of that woman of the dim future, who was to conquer the public-- who was she?
33537But another said, quietly:"Just get a glass of water for her, she has a touch of hysteria-- I wonder who caused it?"
33537But did I not say they were love- birds?
33537But if I had not"_ one_ two threed"in Cincinnati on that grinning old piano, where would the organ- scene have been?
33537But there, just as I start to speak of my third season, I seem to look into a pair of big, mild eyes that say:"Can it be that you mean to pass me by?
33537But what then was to be done for the benefit?
33537But, Clara, you remember that time when money could have saved her?
33537But, oh, what was it that he sang?
33537But-- Mr. Daly?
33537CHAPTER TWENTY- SEVENTH I play"Marie"to Oblige-- Mr. Barrett''s Remarkable Call-- Did I Receive a Message from the Dying or the Dead?
33537Ca n''t you see?"
33537Can I ever forget the thrill I felt when I received my first thousand dollars?
33537Can you keep quiet about this part?"
33537Cold, hard, dictatorial, superior?
33537Could I?
33537Could he be going to ask me to read the part over to him?
33537Daly?"
33537Daly?"
33537Dear Mr. Daly do n''t you see, I should ruin the play?"
33537Did he know then how near Death was to him?
33537Did you never run?
33537Do n''t you know Murdoch is a gentleman?"
33537Do you forget that''twas I who turned the great sensation scene of a play into a side- splitting farce?"
33537Do you suppose you could tie the shoe of Eliza Logan, one of the greatest actresses that ever lived-- but yet not good enough for New York?
33537Early during that first week my friend, John Norton, said to me:"Have you spoken to Mr. Daly about your salary yet?"
33537Everything there pretended to be something else, and at last I said solemnly to Blanche:"Is everything only make- believe in a theatre?"
33537Fisk?"
33537Flowers?
33537Good work, eh?
33537Had I received any note, any message beforehand?
33537Had she met with an accident?
33537Had we any common acquaintance?
33537Hattie opened the door, and then I heard her exclaiming:"Why-- why-- what?"
33537Hattie stammered:"A man, he lied though, said that Wilkes Booth-- but he did lie-- didn''t he?"
33537Have they blown you up for your didoes to- night?
33537Have you been telling that to people?"
33537Have you thought yet how to deliver it?"
33537He added,"About your home, say?"
33537He almost gasped the words:"What does this mean, sir?"
33537He glared angrily at me, and began:"Since when have the ladies of the ballet taken to criticising the work of the stars?"
33537He held the picture of a group of statuary up to me:"This is you on the right; it''s not so dreadful, now, is it?"
33537He laughed a little and nudged his Ellen, then went on:"I mean-- who are your people?"
33537He laughed first, then pulled up sharply, saying:"Perhaps you did not notice that your comment contained a criticism of my judgment, Miss Morris?
33537He laughed rather sheepishly, and said:"Well, you are not stupid, if you are innocent,"then asked:"Are you a stranger here?"
33537He leaned forward, asking, eagerly:"Do you mean that?"
33537He looked up quickly, for I stood all the time, and asked:"What''s that, do n''t speak to you?
33537He make me to ask you right away, very quick, can you play that part of_ Anne_?"
33537He neither bowed nor smiled, but crossly asked:"Is Miss Morris here?"
33537He passed his long, thin fingers wearily across his closed eyes several times, then, as he opened them, he asked, sharply:"Can you obey orders?"
33537He sank down, he wiped his brow, he looked almost stupidly at me, then, very faintly, he said:"You-- haven''t-- heard-- anything?"
33537He smiled indulgently, and said:"It seems so funny-- does it?
33537He stood at the door as I came down- stairs, and as soon as I reached him he asked, sharply:"Do you go home alone of nights?"
33537He stopped, stepped in front of me and asked:"What do you most wish for?"
33537He took my hand and asked:"Miss Morris, have you been putting these slights on me by order?"
33537He used to hail me with:"Where''s my crummie girl?
33537He was down in the orchestra speaking to the leader when I came to the end of the act, and the words:"The mother whom I have insulted?
33537He was furious, he stamped his feet, he turned to the manager:"What''s all this infernal nonsense?
33537He wasted no time over greetings or formalities, but curtly asked:"Can you play_ Anne Sylvester_?"
33537Hot?
33537How about Julia Dean, too?
33537How shall I call that strange influence that dumbly tries to warn, to prepare?
33537How the devil am I to compose that march they want with this room still as the dead?
33537How, I wondered, could they do it?
33537I almost ran in my anxiety to obey orders; my mind was in a state of happy confusion-- what could it all mean?
33537I also apologized, and added:"If you please, sir, does this belong to you?
33537I answered, interrogatively, feeling very hot and uncomfortable,"have I too much on?"
33537I asked it:"Of what am I to die?"
33537I believed myself alone, and when the memory- haunted woman roared out:"Yet, who would have thought the old man to have had so much_ blood_ in him?"
33537I could never afford to waste all that time; but what could I do?
33537I cried,"but you know how very forward_ Juliet_ is in speech?
33537I cried,"do you mean fire?"
33537I exclaimed,"please, do n''t you think that would be rather melodramatic?
33537I had felt myself uncomfortable before, but now?
33537I heard, or thought I heard, the words:"The first shall be last and the last shall be first,"and I called from my bed:"Did you speak to me, mother?"
33537I interrupted,"you are going to cut something out?"
33537I laughed aloud, Bertie barked excitedly, I faced about and went forward almost gayly to meet-- what?
33537I look like a sprinter, do n''t I?
33537I persisted;"what kills me?
33537I question him,''Did you rehearse that business to- day, John?''
33537I remarked,_ sotto voce_:"Did you expect to find ink in him?"
33537I said, egged on by one of those imps who hover at the elbow of just such women as I am,"ca n''t you see he is a minister''s son?
33537I see-- it''s that--''er--_Aline?__ Justine?_ No, no!
33537I see-- it''s that--''er--_Aline?__ Justine?_ No, no!
33537I suffered most when I had to play some lady of quality, for what, in heaven''s name, had I to dress a lady in?
33537I suppose you were doing it to aggravate me, though?"
33537I suppose, of course, so famous an actress as yourself can faint at command, if need be?
33537I thought you''d want her spoken of most particularly?"
33537I thought,"he is n''t going to do it all over again-- out here, is he?"
33537I told him I wanted a dreadful scar-- then I wanted to veil it always; and he broke in with,"Then why have the scar, if it is to be veiled?"
33537I was surprised, and rather quickly answered:"Well, have I treated him as if he were not a gentleman?"
33537I wonder what the_ danseuse_ of to- day would think of the costume worn by her sister of the"sixties"?
33537I wondered day and night, could I act well enough to please New York?
33537I''m sorry you have to bear the brunt alone, but you will be brave, wo n''t you?"
33537If I was original and strong in the West, why should I wait ten years before venturing into the East?
33537If she could stand while receiving that awful shock about her mother''s shame she would hardly fall afterward, from mere horror of her own thoughts?"
33537In a few moments the call- boy came back again:"Are you ready?
33537In conversation with one of the ladies, I remarked:"As a Western woman, I suppose I have various expressions to unlearn?"
33537In darkness or in light did it ever miss that exact spot?
33537In referring to the article at the theatre one evening, he said, in reproachful tones:"Now was n''t that a truly stupid lie?"
33537Interrupt me?
33537Is not that wail chilling?
33537It chilled me, all my high spirits flattened down suddenly; I turned, and said:"Did_ you_ see, mother?"
33537It seems like taking a mean advantage of a tender heart, I know-- what Bret Harte would call"playing it low down"on it; but what else could I do?
33537It was well Mr. Kean was there to hold it down; but as a troubled voice from within said:"I''m caught somehow-- don''t you see, Charles?"
33537John, are you such a fool you do n''t understand her commercial value?
33537Looking utterly bewildered, he exclaimed:"Why, for God''s sake, Effie, you are not going on for_ Desdemona_, are you?"
33537Lovers?
33537M._"What?"
33537Miles, surprisedly, said:"Why, you have ridden with me twice this week without a sign of fear?"
33537Miss St. Clair groaned, Mr. Barras snuffled loudly, and stammered:"W-- what did you expect, if the others ca n''t study it, how can she?"
33537More sharply, she asked:"Do you hear?--what are you going to do when the theatre closes?"
33537Mother called out presently:"Do you know what time it is?
33537Mr. Daly glanced up, and said, sharply:"What''s that?
33537Mr. Daly''s fingers trembled like aspen leaves, his eyes dilated to perfect blackness, and almost he whispered the words:"Well, child-- well?"
33537Mr. Ellsler finally burst open the door, and there stood_ Louis XI._ in his under- garments, and his clothing-- where?
33537Mr. Navoni was clattering down- stairs and pounding on our door:"What does this mean?
33537Mr. Palmer said:"Nonsense, Cazauran; purple is not appropriate;"and then,"How would blue-- dark blue or brown do?"
33537Mrs. Ellsler, in answer to that rude question, laughed, and said:"Well, I believe the leading woman generally does play_ Desdemona_?"
33537Mrs. Kean asked:"Were both of your parents actors, child?"
33537My bird, what brings you here?
33537My heart sank like lead-- was even the comedy part to be taken from me?
33537My heart seemed to suffocate me-- I thought, stupidly,"Why do n''t I pray?"
33537Next night I did not play at all, but came to look on, and being invited to the dressing- room, Mr. Kean suddenly asked me:"Who are you, child?"
33537No further signal came, what should I do?
33537No matter how small your charge, the question will be, where have you taught?
33537Not hunger, not cold, but the very dust and ashes of life?
33537Now how did I know you were crying?"
33537Now what can_ Miss Multon_ die from?
33537Now you and I will mind the P''s and Q''s of this great city, wo n''t we, my dear?
33537Now you take some money-- you_ have_ some money saved, I suppose?"
33537Now, are you going to tell the people all about when you received it?"
33537Now, how are you going to say it?"
33537Of what?
33537Oh, Lord, who has a small grammar about them?
33537Oh, could I?
33537Oh, well might he ask"How now?"
33537Oh, what has happened to them?"
33537Oh, what shall I do?"
33537On that first night he had said:"Good Lord, Will, what is that girl doing out here in the West?
33537One day he said to me:"Say, you ai n''t cooking up a huge joke on these gas- balloons, are you, Clara?
33537One evening I said:"Mr. Fisk, I''m afraid you have cast too much bread upon the waters; it''s said to be very fattening food when it returns?"
33537Perhaps you have the advantage of them in being all- beautiful within?"
33537Poor?
33537Presently the"old- man"turned and, noticing my eagerness, laughingly said:"Well, what is it, Clara?
33537Run?
33537Salary?
33537Seymour?"
33537Shall I speak for you?"
33537She keeps good time, eh, does n''t she?
33537She looked up hastily:"Drink your coffee, and I''ll----""Is there?"
33537She touched my forehead, asking,"Are you ill?
33537Shook''s bass voice was heard for the first time, as he asked, conclusively:"Whom can we get for_ Armand_ on such short notice?"
33537Should I do this, should I do that?
33537Some women asked, anxiously:"Will that girl cry to- night, do you think?"
33537Such notices as were given of the performance, and what was particularly dwelt upon, think you?
33537Tell her it is urgent-- you understand?
33537Tell me, little woman-- don''t be afraid-- have you been obeying an order?"
33537That young girl, then, is my sister-- the sister whose happiness I have stolen?
33537The ancient fancy- work, perhaps?
33537The curtain fell, and-- why, what, in the name of heaven, was happening to me?
33537The fan forgotten on the mantel- piece?
33537The father said:"Who will trust so young a girl to instruct them?
33537The friend said:"Why, I''m surprised-- I thought Miss Morris suffered from her spine?"
33537The gentleman removed his hat, and coming to the centre of the room held out his hand, saying:"Miss Morris-- you_ are_ Miss Morris?"
33537The little boots and slippers-- you remember Sallie''s instep?
33537The star seemed particularly gentle-- he removed his coat leisurely and said:"You played_ Salanio_ last night?"
33537Then Hank turned to me and asked, suspiciously:"Has he been filling you full of P''s and Q''s?"
33537Then I cheerfully remarked:"I''m looking for Mr. Daly; can you tell me where I am likely to find him?"
33537There was applause-- of course, was not Miss St. Clair there?
33537There was no stove yet, they had not been burned; where then were they?
33537They were:"Yes, as far as theft is concerned, they are safe enough, but in case of fire?
33537This is the end of me, is n''t it?
33537This one had already been refused, when Mr. Roberts suddenly exclaimed:"Who was it made those announcements last night?
33537Two women came in, one said:"Why, what on earth''s the matter?
33537Uncle Dick, behind me, said:"Would you like me to d----n poor Brad''s bones for you, Clara?
33537Unspeakably wounded, I asked, timidly:"But if I work hard and learn to act well, ca n''t I hold a position as well as anyone else?"
33537Very doubtfully, I remarked:"I suppose a smelling- bottle would not be important enough to cross the room for?"
33537Was I not grateful?
33537Was I not happy?
33537Was she ill?
33537Well, Crummy, how are you?"
33537Well, how long have you been at it, Ogden?"
33537Well, now, who can deny that she did all these things?
33537Well, will you let me give you a bit of advice, Ogden?"
33537Well, will you show me the way to Dovey''s by eleven to- morrow?"
33537Well, you do n''t find_ them_ made up, do you?
33537Were they not gorgeous( a lady star had given them to her)?
33537Were you not welcomed----"I broke his speech with laughter, but he would not smile:"Were you not properly treated?
33537What could this mean?
33537What could_ you_ do to make yourself cry seven times a week, for nine or ten months a year?
33537What do you do at the fall of the curtain?"
33537What does it mean?
33537What had he said to me-- word for word, what had he said?
33537What in---- are you scratching her back for?"
33537What need you care, you pleased the audience?"
33537What should_ you_ think about it, girls?"
33537What was it that was trying dumbly to warn her?
33537What was the matter with me, if you please, mum?"
33537What wife?
33537What will Mr. Booth think has become of me, and what, in heaven''s name, do you think of me?"
33537What''s on to- morrow night?
33537What-- is-- there-- left-- for-- me to live for?"
33537What-- what do you call it_ sheol_?
33537What?
33537When anyone praised some wife, he would look up and say:"Wife-- whose wife?
33537When can Lucy get here?"
33537When it strikes does not the rocker always find your ankle- joint?
33537When my husband mournfully asked if"There was not even one hot biscuit to be had?"
33537Where did the money come from that paid for such finery?"
33537Where, I thought, was the manager all this time?
33537Who on earth is she, anyway?"
33537Who shall draw a line and say: here genius ends and madness begins?
33537Who was lacking in courtesy?"
33537Who was the woman who inspired great Shakespeare''s one unnatural scene?
33537Why else did the people pack her houses season after season?
33537Why not let me have all the help my gown can give me?
33537Why, it''s just a little toy play- house-- is it not?"
33537Why, what''s the matter with you?
33537Will you come and be a regular member of the company for the season that begins in September next?"
33537Will you help me?"
33537Will you study Greek or the Rogue''s Vocabulary?
33537With a regretful sigh he went on:"I suppose you know you are a strong attraction?"
33537With trembling hands I clutched my tarlatan skirts and peering down at my tights, I groaned:"Are they twisted, or run down, or what?"
33537With wonderful self- control he asked, as the clothing was being cut from his stricken body:"Is this the end of me; am I going to die, doctor?"
33537Would he write to one or two managers for me, or give me a line of introduction to them?
33537Would she do for a model?
33537Would the other two be as effective?
33537Yes, I know you do n''t need it-- but you''re in love, do n''t you see?
33537You do n''t expect to shed real tears, do you?"
33537You do n''t look for brains in a man''s legs, do you?
33537You doubt that?
33537You know those confounded crooked ones, with three infernal crinkles in the middle to keep them from falling out of the hair?
33537You said:''What''s the matter-- are you nervous?''
33537You shall have one of my prettiest dresses for the court scene, and I guess you have a white muslin of your own for the garden scene, have not you?"
33537You speak of the matter, and your family exclaim:"What on earth ever brought him to your mind?"
33537You think I exaggerate the matter?
33537You took my hand and, stroking it, gently said,''Is n''t it awful?''
33537You want me to go on for that?
33537_ Claudine?_ that''s the name of the maid.
33537_ now_ what?
33537a farce yet?
33537afraid to disturb me?
33537and I cried out, aghast:"Purple?
33537and the Asylum needs help so badly!--''er-- a''frenzy''you said, my son?
33537and the pretty warming of one foot?
33537bless my soul, what''s the matter?
33537could such things happen to a star?
33537cried_ Romeo_:"How now, Balthazar?"
33537did I not hold a membership in the library, and were we not both lightning- quick readers?
33537did you see that ascent of stool, chair, and table?
33537do n''t you see that-- that air was his message to you?
33537do n''t you see your words contradict each other?"
33537eh?
33537he answered,"you saw that, did you?
33537he answers:''No, I did n''t rehearse it, it just came to me in the scene, and I could n''t help doing it; but it went all right, did n''t it?''
33537he asked, with wide- open, wondering eyes,"you will go back to who?"
33537he cried;"where are your splendid spirits?
33537he exclaimed,"Cushman not play_ Lady Macbeth_--for heaven''s sake, why not?"
33537he said,"will you do as I tell you?"
33537how?
33537must it be like that?"
33537next turned on his heel, and called:"Everybody ready for the first act?
33537said I to myself,"what are they gazing at-- they look fairly frightened?"
33537said the policeman, and, sure enough, suddenly the dread word"theatre"was tossed into the air, and everyone was still in a moment, waiting for-- what?
33537say, answer up, now, before it gets hold of you-- what''s your name?"
33537she asked, and I answered with another question:"Mary, were you ever in a great fire?"
33537she cried,"did n''t you see her flaunting herself around the stage last night in silks and laces no honest girl could own?
33537the color of royalty, of pomp, of power?
33537the reins were in the hands of the public, and it would drive me-- where?
33537then, delightedly:"Yes-- yes, you''re quite right, it_ is_ a neat thing-- cut full at the knee, eh?
33537this-- this is not nervousness, is it?"
33537was I to lose my treat, just for lack of a little legal knowledge?
33537well, what of it?
33537what are you thinking of?
33537what did you do it for?
33537what was it?"
33537what''s your name?
33537who cared whether they were becoming or not?
33537who ever saw, who would have wished to see"rare old Bill"in a good humor?
33537whose future I have shattered?
33537why do ye no pull down yer kilties, instead o''kickin''there?
33537why venture into New York, where you may fail?
33537why_ do n''t_ I die?"
33537with a circle of grinning, sardonic faces, ready to be vastly amused over my efforts?
33537would I dare to risk so much-- to spend all my little savings toward the summer vacation for this trip that might end disastrously after all?
33537yer no decent-- do you ken?"
33537you all know whom I mean-- the-- the actor with the_ hungry eyes_?"
33537you do n''t mean_ my_ theatre, do you?"
33537you have been absent and heavy all morning-- what''s the matter?"
33537you,_ you_ have to go on in a farce after playing Shakespeare''s_ Emilia_ with E. L. Davenport?
7508Mr. Baillie, do you like brown eyes and cherry lips?
7508''"Who speaks ill of Serpolette?"''
7508''A real actor coming here to lodge?''
7508''Abuse you?
7508''All these years, am I forgotten?
7508''An apple?''
7508''An orange?''
7508''And all mixed up; how is that?
7508''And are you certain that a lady might have called about ten or half- past without your having seen her?''
7508''And did n''t ums know the sea was salt, and did ums think it very nasty, and not half as nice as a brandy- and- soda?''
7508''And did she care for you?''
7508''And do I get nothing for guessing right?''
7508''And do you think that you wo n''t get tired of me?
7508''And how did he manage to do that, marm?''
7508''And how did the fit come on?''
7508''And how did you think I looked?
7508''And how long have you been doing that?''
7508''And how will you save me from meeting him if he''s there before us?''
7508''And how''s the baby?''
7508''And is mother dead?''
7508''And is n''t she here?
7508''And meet all those girls?''
7508''And so you found your way, dear?''
7508''And what did you say to that?
7508''And what part does he play in_ Madame Angot_?''
7508''And what time is it now?''
7508''And what was Mr. Lennox like?''
7508''And what would your mistress do in the case of not being able to supply a lady with rooms?''
7508''And where''s the difference?''
7508''And who are the heroes that you''ve written about?''
7508''And who are your heroes, may I ask?''
7508''And who were you with?''
7508''And why not, pray?''
7508''And why not?
7508''And why should n''t she?
7508''And why-- why not?''
7508''And why?''
7508''And will that be nice?''
7508''And will you give me Mrs. Hurley''s address?''
7508''And will you take me with you?''
7508''And you will want a hood and cloak?
7508''And you, Annie?''
7508''And, Mr. Lennox, you will see that I''m not shoved into the back row by Miss Dacre, wo n''t you?''
7508''Are n''t you coming in?''
7508''Are n''t you happy with him?
7508''Are those men going to stop there all night?''
7508''Ask you what?''
7508''Bear what?''
7508''Besides, he said,''how can I put you into a leading business all at once?
7508''Brandy balls?''
7508''But I like walking fast,''she said;''perhaps I walk too fast for you?''
7508''But are n''t you going to act, Di--?
7508''But are n''t you going to act, sir?''
7508''But are you going?''
7508''But do you really love me?
7508''But do you think, doctor, it will be an expensive illness?
7508''But how could God forgive her her sins if she persevered in them?''
7508''But how did you get here?''
7508''But how do you think she''ll play the Countess?''
7508''But if he does n''t answer?''
7508''But if it is n''t a policeman, who would you like it to be, Lizzie?''
7508''But if you believe that we live hereafter, why should you deny pre- existence?''
7508''But is this paid for?''
7508''But law, mum, why are n''t you on the stage now?''
7508''But may I ask, ma''am, if you be Mrs. Lennox?
7508''But surely if they''re doing the same play you do n''t want to see it again?''
7508''But tell me, was n''t it you who sent me the verses?
7508''But the cigarettes,''she said,''used to relieve you; do you still smoke them?''
7508''But those two gentlemen-- the actors-- what will happen?
7508''But what are you so cross about?''
7508''But what can have brought him down?''
7508''But what did he say I must do to get well?''
7508''But what do you want me to do?''
7508''But what have you been doing?
7508''But when will you have your opera ready?''
7508''But where have you been?
7508''But where''s Bret?''
7508''But who will play Clairette?''
7508''But why have n''t you been to see me lately?
7508''But why in London?''
7508''But wo n''t you kiss me-- just a kiss, so that I may have something to think of?''
7508''But you''ll come and see me?
7508''But your side-- is it sore when you touch it?
7508''But, Dick, dear, why not at once?
7508''Ca n''t you guess?''
7508''Can he?
7508''Can we?
7508''Could you never love me again if I were very kind to you?''
7508''Could you tell me where Mr. Lennox would be likely to be found?''
7508''Dick, do you think you''ll always love me as you do now?''
7508''Did he really?''
7508''Did n''t Mr. Lennox tell you that you had to sing my song, the market- woman''s song, in the first act?''
7508''Did n''t he order anything else?''
7508''Did the doctor say so?''
7508''Did yer ever''ear of anyone spraining an ankle on purpose?''
7508''Did you ever see so many graves?''
7508''Did you say you would n''t marry her?''
7508''Did you see nobody else?''
7508''Do for me?''
7508''Do n''t you care to drink anything?
7508''Do n''t you remember, Dick was married with a scratched face?''
7508''Do n''t you see,''tis he who does the policeman?
7508''Do n''t you think we might open something?''
7508''Do they?''
7508''Do you belong to the company?''
7508''Do you ever find it necessary to take any stimulant?''
7508''Do you know that the fellow who owns that building has made a fortune?''
7508''Do you know the address?''
7508''Do you know who''s going to be at the wedding breakfast?
7508''Do you really think so?
7508''Do you think I can leave her?''
7508''Do you think that paper- cutter would do?''
7508''Do you think you could manage?''
7508''Do you think, Mr. Montgomery, that to take an encore for my song will interfere with the piece?''
7508''Drunk, Kate?
7508''Eat with you?
7508''Especially at night- time?''
7508''For hours, Ralph?''
7508''Go up to your room?''
7508''Hansom, or four- wheeler?''
7508''Hardly anything; and yet if I may venture a criticism-- would you mind passing your manuscript on to me for a moment?
7508''Has nothing happened?
7508''Has your heart from its allegiance Turned to greet a fairer face?
7508''Have you been to America?''
7508''Have you bought your present?''
7508''Have you got the eggs?''
7508''Have you heard that the chorus have clubbed together to buy Dick a chain?''
7508''Have you known Dick,''she asked suddenly,''a long time?''
7508''Have you seen mine?''
7508''Have you seen my wife?''
7508''He''s an invalid, is n''t he?''
7508''Hey, old pal, what is it?
7508''How am I to go?
7508''How are you, o- o- old man?
7508''How can he make such a beast of himself?''
7508''How can he take us to the play?
7508''How can you be so unkind, or is it that you''ve no thought for that poor sick child?''
7508''How could I fix a day?''
7508''How could she leave Dick and return to Hanley?
7508''How dare you accuse me of being drunk?
7508''How did you get out, dear?
7508''How did you like the piece, dear?''
7508''How do you do, old man?
7508''How do you like that?''
7508''How do you mean a disgrace?''
7508''How do you mean, dressing?''
7508''How do you mean?
7508''How does she manage the dressmaking?
7508''How much did you get?''
7508''How thirty- five?
7508''How very sharp you are, Mr. Mortimer,''answered Dolly in her pertest manner;''and what are you going to give?
7508''How will you manage that?''
7508''How''s that?
7508''How''s that?''
7508''I broke it?''
7508''I ca n''t think how you treat me as you do; what have I done to you to deserve it?
7508''I do n''t know and I do n''t care; what''s that to me?
7508''I do n''t know; do you think it dangerous?''
7508''I hope you did n''t wait supper for me?''
7508''I know what it means,''cried Lizzie;''you see that old chap on the right?
7508''I must be off now,''he said,''there''s no help for it; but you wo n''t disappoint me, will you?
7508''I shall be so glad if you will; but Market Street-- I think you said Market Street?
7508''I should like it so much; but what excuse can I give for being out till half- past ten at night?''
7508''I suppose he will come back for me,''Kate said;''or perhaps I''d better go on?
7508''I suppose you know London well?''
7508''I suspected Beaumont was not quite right, perhaps; but you do n''t mean to say there is n''t one?
7508''I think the idea very fine, but----''''But?''
7508''I wonder what it''s for,''said another;''it went all right, I thought-- didn''t you?
7508''If I did n''t love you, why should I ask you to go away with me?
7508''If you will permit me?''
7508''Indeed you do n''t, and what do you get for it?
7508''Is Mrs. Forest in?''
7508''Is Mrs. Lennox here?''
7508''Is Mrs. Lennox staying here?''
7508''Is it for a new- born infant?''
7508''Is it really?''
7508''Is it there that it pains you?''
7508''Is it?''
7508''Is mother in a great rage because I wo n''t let her in?''
7508''Is n''t it extraordinary that Bret can never be up to time?
7508''Is she suffering much?''
7508''Is that you, Kate?
7508''Is that you, dear?''
7508''Is the railway company going to stand us treat this journey?''
7508''Is there any lady missing?''
7508''Is this woman coming to meet him?''
7508''Is your appetite good?
7508''It is pretty, is n''t it?
7508''Late for what?''
7508''Led me into what?
7508''Long, long years I have been waiting, Bearing up against my pain; All my thoughts and vows have vanished, Will they ever come again?
7508''Look out for an engagement?''
7508''Lor, marm, why did yo''buy those things?''
7508''Love me?''
7508''Making a change?
7508''May I ask you, Montgomery, for a slice of bacon?
7508''Meanwhile,''Dick answered,''will you leave my room?''
7508''Might I ask,''she said,''if you''re one of the directors of the theatre?''
7508''My opera?''
7508''No, no; why should you love me?''
7508''Not a nice picture at all, and all mixed up?''
7508''Not bad,''said another;''I got one like it last year at Sheffield,''''But what shall I do with it?''
7508''Not stop here-- eh, eh?
7508''Now I wonder if your husband would consent to your going on the stage?''
7508''Now then, ladies, are you ready?''
7508''Now, who,''she asked,''can have been sending him these_ Classical Cartoons_, number four?''
7508''Oh yes, that''s where he''s gone to, is it?''
7508''Oh, Dick, dear, what shall we do if we find him waiting on the platform?
7508''Oh, Kate, what are you doing?''
7508''Oh, do you think so?
7508''Oh, is that you, Kate?''
7508''Oh, is that you, Mrs. Ede?
7508''Oh, now really, Kate,''he cried, shocked by the unfairness of the accusation,''how could I know that you were going to hit me there?''
7508''Oh, what is it?''
7508''Old people are very pious, generally, are n''t they?
7508''On what floor?''
7508''Putting aside the question of what you owe and what you do n''t owe, I''d like to ask you where you could find a nicer wife?
7508''Reasons I do n''t know of?
7508''Reduce expenses?
7508''Satisfied with you?''
7508''Scotch or Irish?''
7508''Shall I put that down in the bill, or will you give me the money now, ma''am?''
7508''Shall I write to him to- day, then, and say that we can let him have the rooms from next Monday?''
7508''Sleep with you?''
7508''So you think I ought to marry her?''
7508''So you''re going,''she said;''and when shall I see you again?''
7508''Sorry, Kate?
7508''Speak so?
7508''Supposing she said something like this, eh?
7508''Take the first turn to the right, and you''re in Church Street; but there may be bits of the delf in the wound?''
7508''The organ is there, and there''s no fluffing the notes; they come out clear, do n''t they?''
7508''Then I''m really downright mad?''
7508''Then shall I get you breakfast, sir?''
7508''Then what shall I do?''
7508''Then why derange these ladies and gentlemen by asking them to attend at this meeting?''
7508''Then you wo n''t let me?''
7508''Then you''ll come?''
7508''There''s Market Street; do n''t you remember, Dick, where you met me the day you took me to the potteries?''
7508''There,''she said,''have n''t I proof of your baseness?
7508''Think you ought to marry her?''
7508''This way, sir; what will you take, sir?
7508''To what?''
7508''Was Dick in love with Miss Leslie before he knew me?''
7508''Was it for such a success as this that he took me away from my home?
7508''Was she really spoons on the actor?''
7508''Was this life,''he asked himself,''or death?
7508''Was this life?''
7508''We can not talk here,''Dick said;''is n''t there a quiet street near by?''
7508''We shall be off in a minute, dear,''whispered Dick softly in her ear,''and then----''''Whose carriage are you going in, Dick?''
7508''Wear it first on one hand and then on the other, dear; that will puzzle him,''''But supposing he comes to meet me at the stage- door?''
7508''Well, Dick, what is it?''
7508''Well, do n''t you agree with me?''
7508''Well, have you brought the drink I sent you for?
7508''Well, my dear-- mad?
7508''Well, never mind,''said Kate;''did you ever see such beautiful clear water?
7508''Well, tell me the truth: do you think he can be constant to a woman?
7508''Well, was it all right?''
7508''Well, what did you say?''
7508''Well, what do you want me to do?''
7508''Well, what do you want me to do?''
7508''Well, what does it matter if I do?
7508''Well, what will that matter?
7508''Well, what''s the matter?
7508''Well, what?''
7508''Well, will you go?''
7508''Were you ever in love with anybody?''
7508''What are we to do?''
7508''What are you crying about?''
7508''What are you crying for?''
7508''What are you going to give, Annie?''
7508''What are you going to give?''
7508''What are you laughing at, Kate?''
7508''What are you thinking about?
7508''What are your words, dear?''
7508''What can he be saying?
7508''What did I say?
7508''What did he say, then?''
7508''What did you hit me like that for?''
7508''What did you intend giving for it?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you think, dear?''
7508''What do you want?
7508''What does it matter what the time is?
7508''What does it matter?
7508''What does it matter?
7508''What does that matter?
7508''What does this mean?''
7508''What does this mean?''
7508''What happened when I got my decree of divorce?''
7508''What harm can they do me?''
7508''What has happened?''
7508''What have I done now?''
7508''What have you got for us?''
7508''What is it, Dick?
7508''What is it, dear?''
7508''What is it?''
7508''What is that?''
7508''What matter if she does?
7508''What matter?
7508''What reasons?''
7508''What shall I get, then?''
7508''What shall we do now?''
7508''What time?''
7508''What were you speaking about when it began?''
7508''What will the Lennoxes do?''
7508''What will the husband do?''
7508''What will work out all right?
7508''What will you have, dear?''
7508''What''s that?''
7508''What''s the cue?''
7508''What''s the matter, dear?''
7508''What''s the matter, my dear?
7508''What''s the matter, sir?
7508''What''s the use of grumbling?
7508''What, Hender your wife?''
7508''What, over those hills?
7508''What, you, Dick, in Manchester?
7508''What-- do you look so fri- frightened at?
7508''When you were a little girl you used to come here to play, I suppose?''
7508''Where are you going... shall you be coming back again?''
7508''Where are you living, dear?''
7508''Where had he gone?''
7508''Where on earth are you going at that rate?''
7508''Where were you last night?''
7508''Where''s Mr. Simpson''s lunch?''
7508''Where''s Mr. Simpson''s lunch?''
7508''Where''s he off to?''
7508''Where''s the stage entrance of the Opà © ra Comique?''
7508''Which, then, is the most important in your eyes-- Mr. Peppencott''s sermon or my breath?''
7508''Who attended the rehearsal to- day, then?''
7508''Who is she?''
7508''Who left this here?''
7508''Who would do the dressmaking for him?''
7508''Who would look after poor baby if I were taken away?''
7508''Who''s Mr. Simpson?
7508''Why a new work?''
7508''Why did n''t she ask me to come to her at five to- day?''
7508''Why did n''t she take a little more trouble with her make- up?''
7508''Why did n''t you come to the theatre?
7508''Why did you want her to stay?''
7508''Why do n''t you go away and leave me?
7508''Why do n''t you go yourself?''
7508''Why do you ask?''
7508''Why do you want to kiss me?
7508''Why should n''t I let my rooms to Mr. Lennox if I like?''
7508''Why should n''t there be two understudies?''
7508''Why should you do that, when she is in love with Bret?''
7508''Why,''she said,''do you think it''s the best thing that could happen to me?''
7508''Why?
7508''Will he never speak and let me go?''
7508''Will that be enough,''said Dick,''to place her in an asylum?''
7508''Will you require any dinner?''
7508''Will you?
7508''Wo n''t you come in?''
7508''Would n''t you really?''
7508''Yes, a romp; but what is a romp?''
7508''Yes, sir, certainly; but if I may make so bold, you''re looking very tired-- may I offer you a glass of beer?
7508''Yes, that''s easily arranged,''said Dick,''but what about the tour?
7508''You are n''t joking?''
7508''You do n''t mean to tell me that you turned her out?
7508''You have n''t heard Dolly''s story of the undergraduate?''
7508''You little silly, ca n''t you guess who they''re for?
7508''You mean, Kate, that you would play the mad woman?
7508''You promise?''
7508''You remember her, Leslie, do n''t you?
7508''You surely do n''t want to concert that, do you?''
7508''You were a friend of hers, then?''
7508''You were in bed, then?''
7508''You were n''t at the theatre last night?''
7508''You will excuse me, I hope, madam, addressing you, and if I do so it is because I am in an official capacity here, but may I offer you a parasol?''
7508''You will find these of the very best quality; will you feel the warmth of this, ma''am?''
7508''You wo n''t be angry if I tell you?''
7508''You wo n''t do that, will you, dear?
7508''You would strike me, would you?
7508''You''ll come a- nd and see me again to- to- morrow, wo n''t you?''
7508''You''ll have the same, Dolly?''
7508''You''ll take me out to tea, Dick?''
7508''You''re going out?
7508''Your husband is an actor, I believe?''
7508''Your wife?
7508A drunken chorus lady; trying to get her home?
7508A good makeup, is n''t it?
7508After a long silence Kate said:''I''ve been very ill, have n''t I?
7508After the usual salutations--''How do you do, old boy?
7508All he could say was,''Oh, my darling, I''m so sorry; you will forgive me, wo n''t you?''
7508And I suppose you walk up Piccadilly with him after the play?''
7508And Ralph?
7508And by whose order was a human creature tortured thus cruelly?''
7508And how have you been?''
7508And what can you do?
7508And will he take us to see the play?''
7508And will you come back and lodge here?''
7508And, remembering their little dispute, Kate said:''Well, dears, is it a robber or a sweetheart?''
7508Anyhow, it does n''t matter now, does it, doctor?
7508Are n''t you thirsty?''
7508Are n''t you well?
7508Are n''t you well?''
7508Are they going to go away?''
7508Are you all right?''
7508Are you coming my way?''
7508Are you game, Mortimer?
7508Are you going to buy the paper- cutter?''
7508As she entered the shop Mrs. Ede, who was in the front kitchen, cried,''Well, is that you, Kate?
7508As they walked home up the dark street when all was over, she laid her hand affectionately on his arm:''Tell me, Dick, are you satisfied with me?
7508At last he said:''But what did you mean just now when you said that it was more necessary than ever that you should go on the stage?''
7508At last he said:''But where have you been all the day?
7508At last he said:''I like these apartments very well; and you say that I can have breakfast here?''
7508At last he said:''Where are you going?''
7508At last she said:''Will you take me to church to- day?''
7508At last, as they stopped before the door of a small family hotel, he said:''It''s now something like four years since we parted, ai n''t it?''
7508Besides, had he not told her that he was going to be out all day?
7508Besides, what could he do?
7508Besides, what harm?
7508Brown?''
7508But I do n''t know how I can talk to you like this, for how can you respect me?
7508But by walking very slowly she contrived to reach the stage- door of the Opà © ra Comique, feeling very weak and ill.''Is Mr. Lennox in?''
7508But do tell me, Kate, what is the matter?
7508But do tell me, Mrs. Ede-- is he the one in the cocked hat?''
7508But do you love me?
7508But how do you get on with Miss Hender?''
7508But how long shall we have to wait?
7508But if she is a nun, why is n''t she in a habit?
7508But is this altogether sure?''
7508But tell me, is there anyone listening?''
7508But tell me, what were they doing downstairs?
7508But tell me-- you will, wo n''t you?
7508But the idea of God did not arrest his attention, and his thoughts fixing themselves on the child, he asked himself, what was this new life to him?
7508But the only answer they received was,''Now what does it matter who Mr. Simpson is?
7508But the question: what has become of Dick?
7508But this patchwork quilt is yours, I suppose?''
7508But what are we to do?
7508But what compartment shall we take?
7508But what could be said against him for requesting the removal of a drunken man?
7508But what matter the food?
7508But what shall she say after?''
7508But what''s the matter, Kate?
7508But which of the three illustrious composers, Hervà ©, Offenbach and Lecocq, should he choose to write the music?
7508But which way are you going?''
7508But wo n''t you kiss me before I go?''
7508But wo n''t you sing something, Mrs. Ede?
7508But would Dick produce a new piece?
7508But you''ll be able to manage the song, wo n''t you?
7508But, interrupting herself suddenly, she cried:''Dick, who has been scratching you?
7508By Witt or by MacColl, excellent writers both?
7508Ca n''t you see that I''m only very hot?''
7508Can I get you anything?''
7508Can you think of anything, dear?
7508Can you-- will you-- my own darling Dick, give me another trial?''
7508Chappel, will you be good enough to play the"Just put this in your pocket"chorus over again?''
7508Clarke, has my husband come in?''
7508Cold beef, chicken and ham, or a little soup?''
7508Could n''t you ask someone to go for you?''
7508Could they do nothing without him?
7508Could you fetch him?
7508Cox?''
7508Dick is very good to me; but if I tell you something you promise not to mention it?''
7508Dick, Dick, are you going to leave me?''
7508Did I speak crossly?
7508Did he count for nobody?
7508Did he intend to insult her-- was that it?
7508Did he only keep her to work for him?
7508Did he say that?''
7508Did n''t I, Miss Hender?''
7508Did n''t you see Bret passing?
7508Did she tell you of it?''
7508Did their thoughts never wander from their work?
7508Did they fancy that it was nothing to him if his wife and child were dead or alive?
7508Did they see you?''
7508Did this man never wish to go to bed?
7508Did you ever hear of such a thing?
7508Did you fix a day?''
7508Do n''t you know that?''
7508Do n''t you remember, Dick, the first night I played Florette in_ The Brigands_?
7508Do n''t you think so, sir?''
7508Do n''t you think so?''
7508Do n''t you think you''ll be able to hold out till then?''
7508Do n''t you wish he''d get ill again?
7508Do tell me the real truth; do you think I shall ever be able to sing?''
7508Do they abuse me very much?''
7508Do you approve of my manner of writing the hexameters?''
7508Do you deal with them?''
7508Do you happen to have any in the house?''
7508Do you love him so much?''
7508Do you see anything you like here?''
7508Do you see?''
7508Do you suppose I want to hear about that woman?''
7508Do you suppose it is to talk to you that I came here?
7508Do you take me for a fool?
7508Do you think you could manage with that?''
7508Do you think you would have liked me to have kissed you?''
7508Do you want another?
7508Does he get tired easily?
7508Does he like change?''
7508Does n''t he treat you well?''
7508Drawing the letter from her pocket, she said to the hall- keeper:''Will you kindly give Mr. Lennox this letter?
7508For you are my friend, are n''t you?''
7508For you know what a position I am in: if Dick were to desert me to- morrow what should I do?''
7508Had I better send her to the hospital?''
7508Had n''t we better put it off until morning?''
7508Had not the doctor told her she required a little stimulant?
7508Had she not earned it, and was he going to rob her of it?
7508Had the place taken fire?
7508Has anything fresh happened?
7508Has he arrived yet?''
7508Have n''t I told you twenty times that there''s nothing between me and Miss Vane?
7508Have things gone pretty well with you?''
7508Have you ever heard how he fancied the waiter was calling him in the morning when the policeman was hauling him off to the station?''
7508Have you ever heard the waltz?''
7508Have you got any cigarettes?''
7508Have you got the ether?''
7508Have you had any bad news?''
7508Have you seen the piece?
7508Have you welcomed in another Charms you missed in me, and grace?
7508Have you, Vincent?''
7508He asked if she suffered from a sense of uncomfortable tension, fullness, weight, especially after meals; if she felt any pain in her right shoulder?
7508He said:''You did n''t know Dick before he came to lodge in your house at Hanley, did you?''
7508How are we to live if you come between me and my business?''
7508How are we to reduce expenses except by cutting down the salaries?''
7508How are you to meet me at the station?''
7508How can you talk like that?
7508How can you think that I would have my husband ill so that I might go to the theatre with Mr. Lennox?
7508How can-- you-- talk to me like that?
7508How could he define what were and what were not proper conversations for the dressing- rooms?
7508How could she expect him to think of her when he was thinking of his breath?
7508How could this be?
7508How did all this come about?''
7508How did your face get torn like that-- who''s been scratching you?''
7508How do you think she''ll do in the part?''
7508How far are the nearest?''
7508How long would she remain on the doorstep?
7508How''s business?''
7508How''s that?
7508I beg of--''''Oh, you wo n''t, wo n''t you?
7508I believe you''re going to nurse Mrs. Lennox through this illness?''
7508I ca n''t put it plainer than that, can I?''
7508I dare say it''s very amusing; but if you''d try to combine business with pleasure--- Now, who did I put in section one?''
7508I do n''t know Mrs. Wood, but it''s very kind of Mrs. West to recommend us; and how has Hender been getting on with the skirt?''
7508I do n''t think you''d tell me a lie; it would be too cruel, would n''t it?
7508I helped you famously, did n''t I, Miss Hender?''
7508I hope my poem touched a chord in your heart?
7508I knew her when she was so high, and it was I who gave her her first part, was n''t it, Lucy?''
7508I must get well; but tell me, doctor, how long will that take?''
7508I suppose the two little girls are here?''
7508I think the ring a very nice one; let''s see how it looks on your hand,''''You do n''t mean that I''m to wear it?''
7508I told you so, did n''t I?''
7508I want you to tell me how the pain in your side is?''
7508I was only going to take a little milk, I suppose there''s no harm in that?''
7508I wrote for them,''she replied, hesitating;''but do n''t you think--?''
7508I''ll go with you now, Mrs. Rawson, and you''ll perhaps come to- morrow, Dick, to see her?''
7508I''ll take off these things and we''ll go for a walk through the town-- will that do?
7508I''m afraid you wo n''t be able to eat it?''
7508If I did n''t love you, could I kiss you as I do?''
7508If it were wrong do you think I''d bring you in here?
7508If she had n''t why did she think of Villiers Street?
7508If you wanted to desert me, why did you ever take me away from Hanley?
7508In the newspapers that quoted from the original document?
7508Is he here?''
7508Is it contagious?
7508Is it the ten shillings a week he pays for his room and the few pence you make out of his breakfast you''re hankering after?''
7508Is n''t Annie going to marry the man who''s lost his wig?''
7508Is n''t he going to act it himself?
7508Is n''t it odd?
7508Is n''t it so, Mrs. Ede?
7508Is n''t what I say true?
7508Is the--?''
7508Is there no one here to save me?''
7508It was n''t a nice part, was it?''
7508It was n''t an undergra--?''
7508It was on her tongue to ask him why he had chosen to play the policeman, but all that was over; why should she trouble him with questions?
7508It would be dreadful to act so soon after my poor baby''s death, would n''t it?''
7508It''s sad to lose her, is n''t it?
7508Kate was asking herself the same question-- what was to become of her?
7508Kate, dear, what is the matter?
7508Lennox?''
7508Let him take you away from me?
7508Let me finish it for you--''that outweighs all other qualities''But does it?
7508Let me go, will you?''
7508Let me see, whom could we get to play in it?''
7508Lodgers often make love to their landladies; what would she do if Mr. Lennox made love to her?
7508May I suggest an emendation that will render the recitation more easy and more effective?''
7508Montgomery, will you oblige me by playing over that sailor- chorus?''
7508Montgomery?''
7508Mr. Lennox said he''d meet us here, did n''t he?''
7508New member of the com- company, eh?''
7508Not that little thing with fair hair who sings in the chorus?''
7508Now then, girls, are you ready?''
7508Now, Miss Leslie, ca n''t you wait until this rehearsal is over?''
7508Of course, I ca n''t judge at present what your complexion is; but have you noticed any yellowness about the skin lately?''
7508Of what could she be thinking?
7508Oh, Dick, what shall I do?''
7508Oh, what will become of me?
7508On the first landing he stopped her, and laying his hand on her arm, said,''And would you really be very glad if I were to stay with you?''
7508Or in absence are you true?
7508Perhaps he''s the man in white who is being dragged away from his bride?
7508Poor man, why should n''t he have a few friends up in the evening?
7508Ralph did not answer, but after a long silence he said:''It''s a pity, ai n''t it, that we did n''t pull it off better together?''
7508Saturday?
7508Shall I do you a book entitled_ Lovers in Lent_, or_ A Lover''s Lent_?
7508Shall I get you a glass of water?''
7508She asked herself passionately if she was always going to remain a slave and a drudge?
7508She had been drunk, she knew that, but where was Dick?
7508She passed away from him and entered her husband''s room, and Ralph said:''Well, who was it?''
7508She said:''Do you think it''s anything very dangerous?
7508Should he, or should he not, knock at the door?
7508Simpson?
7508So many poor girls are in trouble; how many in the crowd passing before her door?
7508Stopping long here?''
7508Suddenly a voice cried in a high key:''Who do you take me for, Dick?
7508Supposing my husband was to come in now and find us here?''
7508The giant snoring, and her baby stirring in her cradle with the limelight upon her, or was she dreaming?
7508The servant brought up two glasses of grog, and when Kate had taken off her bonnet, she said:''Do you think I''m much altered?''
7508Then, what time is it?''
7508They would all be friends yet; that is to say, if Mrs. Ede would permit of it; and why should she stand between people and make enemies of them?
7508They would work for their child; a boy or girl, which?
7508This was difficult to do, but, after a slight hesitation, she said:''Then you really do believe that Miss Leslie and Mr. Bret are lovers?''
7508Tuck into this plate of chicken; will you have a bit of tongue with it?''
7508Was Dick going to desert her?
7508Was I very violent?
7508Was it Ralph coming down the staircase?
7508Was it a distant country?
7508Was it a scene of revelry?
7508Was it not he who drove her to it?
7508Was it not her own money?
7508Was it possible that he was culpable?
7508Was it possible, he asked himself, that she would never love him again?
7508Was n''t I in a fright?
7508Was n''t I your husband once?''
7508Was she never going to do anything else but work?
7508Was that the way he cut his legs?
7508Was there a chance of their doing a bit of business in the town?
7508We have some very nice ones at two pounds ten; but perhaps you would not like to give so much?''
7508We''re just like strangers, so many things have occurred; I''ve married since-- but perhaps you did n''t hear of it?''
7508Well, then, we ca n''t have anyone better-- and what shall we take out?''
7508Were it not for you, do you think I should be drinking?
7508Were there any ladies there?
7508Were there bills up in all the public- houses?
7508Were they likely to do good business?
