858 | If we lived in stage- land and were asked to join any financial scheme, our first question would be:"Is the good old man in it?" |

31648 | Is Lebanese anything like it? 31648 Ivo,"Paul wailed when the doctor had left,"what am I going to do? |
31648 | Like unto this? |
31648 | Paul, do you believe I''d do that to you? |
31648 | Then why do n''t you do it yourself? |

31648 | You will instruction me? |
31648 | *****"Well, how was everything?" |
31648 | And even if he found them, who would believe an actor offstage, delivering such improbable lines? |
31648 | But what about technique?" |
31648 | But which authorities were the proper ones? |
31648 | Currently I happen to be at liberty, but the year before last--""Well, whom should I appear like? |
31648 | Did anyone suspect you were a ringer?" |
31648 | Go to the proper authorities? |
31648 | I was ranting again, was n''t I? |
31648 | Like your President, perhaply?" |
31648 | Paul opened his mouth; Ivo continued without giving him a chance to speak,"No doubt you have often wondered just what I am doing here on Earth?" |
31648 | Should I perhaps pick some fine upstanding figure from your public prints to emulate? |
31648 | What did I do amiss?" |
31648 | What''s the state of the theater there?" |
31648 | Yet what else could he do? |

47116 | Prince Bertram? |
47116 | What makes you feel sick? |
47116 | And then there is that other house, Edward Alleyn''s, rebuilding in Golden Lane, and will not the Council look to it? |
47116 | And what does Ned Howard say at rehearsal? |
47116 | At length the pew- opener ventured to ask:"And who was she, sir?" |

47116 | But what recked the laughing King, when Puritanism was in the dust, and troops of cavaliers were singing,"Up go we?" |

47116 | Gay, John, 342; his first piece, 329; his"What D''ye Call It?" |
47116 | Had not the glorious Elizabeth stigmatised them as"rogues,"and the sagacious James as"vagabonds?" |
47116 | Herbert Croft, or Seth Ward?--or, Isaac Barrow, of Sodor- and- Man, whose father, the mercer, had lived near the father of Betterton? |

43935 | What''s to be done now? |

43935 | You remember how warm it was on Friday? |
43935 | and how many to whom Dickens was but a name were led by the impersonation to study the pages of the great novelist? |
43935 | and will not Sothern and Raymond appeal to a future generation as_ Dundreary_ of the glaring eye, and_ Sellers_ of the uplifted arm? |
43935 | how d''ye do, Doubledot?" |
43935 | laugh at Windsor, where, as tradition has it, he played before the king at this stage of his career? |

43935 | or in"That Blessed Baby"? |
43935 | or in"The Siamese Twins"? |
13483 | Am I not here your grateful guest, opening the session of this philosophical and historic institution? |
13483 | And who shall tell us the ultimate bounds of these waves of light and sound? |
13483 | Are we to suppose that this was a delusion, or that the sensibility of the man was a genuine aid to the actor? |
13483 | But do we therefore bury ourselves? |
13483 | But may there be moral contamination from what is performed on the stage? |
13483 | But what did it amount to? |
13483 | But you may say-- what is nature? |
13483 | Can such not stir, when it is worth the telling, the hearts of men, to whom it comes as an echo from the past? |
13483 | Could anyone but himself attempt such a wonderful variety, such an amazing contrast of character, and be equally great in all? |
13483 | Granted that his art creates nothing; but does it not often restore? |
13483 | Has not this made the passage far more real and human to you than all the thought you have devoted to it? |
13483 | How can any one be temperate in the midst of his passion, lest it be that his consciousness and his purpose remain to him? |
13483 | If I meditate on patriotism, can I but reflect how grandly the boards have been trod by personifications of heroic love of country? |
13483 | Is it not for ever identified with the noblest instincts and occupations of the human mind? |
13483 | Nay, more; has even the tale that is told no significance in after years? |
13483 | Now, what is the art of acting? |
13483 | That he is simply to declaim the words set down for him, without reference to the expression of his face, his bearing, or his action? |
13483 | To 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? |
13483 | What does he then do? |
13483 | What then do I infer? |
13483 | What was it in their performances that chiefly impressed their contemporaries? |
13483 | When 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?" |
47118 | Am I to play Posthumus? 47118 Do you know what I am going to say?" |
47118 | How long, sir,said Kean to Elliston, the manager,"how long am I to play with that--_Jesuit_, Young?" |
47118 | How ought I to look when I see the Ghost? |
47118 | Mrs. Siddons,says Campbell,"omitted Mrs. Crawford''s scream, in the far- famed question,''Was he alive?''" |
47118 | Plausible, am I? |
47118 | Well,said the Duke, having listened to the complaint,"what is it you now want?" |
47118 | What can that be? |
47118 | What now? |
47118 | Who is that shabby little man? |
47118 | Who the devil is she? |
47118 | Who? 47118 _ Jerry Blackacre_, I suppose, sir?" |
47118 | _ Manly_, I believe, sir? |
47118 | ''s favourite actor, and almost personal friend, once play the Hunchback Richard? |
47118 | A similar effect was once produced by Charles Kemble, by transposing, unconsciously, two letters in the phrase,"Shall I lay perjury upon my soul?" |
47118 | Among the offensive queries put by the former to the Duke, was--"Who is that fine- looking fellow at the head of the table?" |
47118 | And is not improbability as great a sin in the richest as it is in the poorest dramatic genius?" |
47118 | As he left the house he whispered,''Have I not pleased the Yankee- doodles?'' |
47118 | But--"what do you think in a house crowded was the first thing I saw? |
47118 | Ford?" |
47118 | Kean, in 1824, writing to Mr. Vizell(?) |
47118 | Macklin looked vacantly at her, and, in an imbecile tone of voice, remarked,"I had forgotten; who plays Shylock?" |
47118 | Mr. Crawfurd, too, asked me if I did not think her the best actress I ever saw? |
47118 | Nevertheless, those who never worked, as well as those who were over- worked, needed amusement; and what was to be done? |
47118 | She may have borne her professional habits into private life and"stabbed the potatoes,"or awed a draper''s assistant by asking,"Will it wash?" |
47118 | Shylock leant over his crutched stick, with both hands; and, looking askance at Bassanio, said:"Three thousand ducats?" |
47118 | The character was"totally without archness,"said Young;"how_ could_ such a countenance be arch?" |
47118 | The house re- opened on the 4th of October, with the"Beggar''s Opera,"and"Is he a Prince?" |
47118 | The latter smiled; and Kean asked him_ wherefore_? |
47118 | The next words Castalio should have uttered were,"What have I done? |
47118 | Thinking of Miss Tidswell, he used to say--"If she was n''t my mother, why was she kind to me?" |
47118 | What could he mean?" |
47118 | Where is this young Isabella? |
47118 | Whereupon Venus looked fondly on him and asked, in a stage whisper, if he loved sugar- plumbs?--and what sort? |
47118 | Who was this unnamed artist? |
47118 | Why not? |
47118 | and also take as a compliment Sheridan''s assurance that he had"entirely_ executed_ his design?" |
47118 | and did not Kemble play Charles Surface? |
47118 | and making of it,"Shall I lay surgery upon my poll? |
47118 | and would be prepared to answer,"Is the day so young?" |
47118 | and would n''t he like some of the best quality when the piece was over? |
47118 | exclaimed Mrs. Kean;"will you write his life? |
47118 | paused, bethought himself, and then added:"Well?" |
47118 | replies the author,''they_ have_ found it out, have they?''" |
47118 | said he;''what are they hissing now?'' |
47118 | said the latter;"well; oh!--look? |
47118 | to whom? |
47118 | what light from yonder window breaks? |
47118 | why not try a new actor? |
47117 | Are you going to make a scholar of him? |
47117 | Did I tell you about Mr. Garrick, that the town are horn- mad after? |
47117 | Has Warwickshire, sir,said Foote,"the advantage of having produced you as well as Shakspeare?" |
47117 | Have you not heard,she wrote to Garrick, in June 1776,"of your poor Pivy? |
47117 | How so? |
47117 | How were you pleased? |
47117 | Is not this tea stronger than usual, madam? 47117 Now what do you think? |
47117 | Who could believe,says Voltaire,"that love could have been introduced into such a story? |
47117 | Who should act genteel comedy, perfectly,asks Walpole,"but people of fashion that have sense? |
47117 | Who upon earth,he says,"has written such perfect comedies? |
47117 | Why do not they give these parts to Porter? 47117 Why, dear lady?" |
47117 | Why,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?" |
47117 | At Mrs. Crawford''s"Is he alive?" |
47117 | But did he deserve it? |
47117 | Can you not see the pair in that first floor in Russell Street? |
47117 | Did I ever attack your head?" |
47117 | Do n''t you want to ask me how I liked him? |
47117 | Express the just? |
47117 | He dies: and with him sense and taste retreat; For, who can now conceive the Poet''s fire? |
47117 | He had failed in tragedy, and was pronounced unfit for comedy; and he asked, almost despairingly,"What the deuce then_ am_ I fit for?" |
47117 | He 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? |
47117 | How are Wilks and the inimitable She photographed for posterity? |
47117 | How is a man, for instance, to demonstrate his virtue in the public assembly? |
47117 | In such wise went her money; but whither has the blood of Oldfield gone? |
47117 | In the second scene of the second act he should have asked his daughter,"Sylvia, how old were you when your mother_ died_?" |
47117 | Is he a lover? |
47117 | Is it, indeed, forbidden to show us the kingdom of heaven by a parable? |
47117 | Kynaston had fallen suddenly ill, and who could learn and play the part of Lord Touchwood in a few hours? |
47117 | Like sturgeon, or like brawn, shall I Bound in a precious pickle lie, Which I can never taste? |
47117 | Lord 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? |
47117 | Mr. Quin,"said he, unhesitatingly,"what shall I do for a little ready money, till Saturday arrives?" |
47117 | She wore spectacles? |
47117 | Sir Francis Delaval, one of the rich amateur actors of his time, touched by her calamity,"made her a present of-- what do you think?" |
47117 | Sylvia laughed, and being put out of her cue, could only stammer"What, sir?" |
47117 | The absurdity of this must have been evident to Garrick, who immediately replied,"My dear friend, have you quite left off writing for the stage?" |
47117 | The fervid transport? |
47117 | Thence the well- known epigram:--"''Well, what''s to- night?'' |
47117 | Urged by my duty, I have ventur''d here; But how for Douglas can I shed the tear? |
47117 | Was it from fear that Garrick declined to play Jaffier to Quin''s Pierre? |
47117 | What are the small or the great faults of this actor of"all the Falstaffs,"when we find his virtues so practical and lively? |
47117 | What do they in the North, When they should serve their sovereign in the West?" |
47117 | What would kind- hearted people have? |
47117 | What_ was_ to be done? |
47117 | When about to retire she wrote to Garrick, with some obliviousness as to dates:--"What signifies 52? |
47117 | When real griefs the burden''d bosom press, Can it raise sighs feign''d sorrows to express? |
47117 | When the play was over, Cibber asked her, in his familiar way,"Nancy, how did you like your new husband?" |
47117 | Whereon Garrick asked,"Should he dress at you in the play, how can you be alarmed at it, or take it ill? |
47117 | Who could or would dare to face a public whose sides were still shaking with laughter at Dogget''s irresistible performance of this character? |
47117 | Who drove you?" |
47117 | Whom did this mysterious Diana marry? |
47117 | Woffington?" |
47117 | cried the more confused justice;"I mean, how old were you when your mother_ was born_?" |
47117 | he exclaimed,"do you mean to say that we have not been playing Shakspeare all this while?" |
47117 | in woollen? |
47117 | on that night was as grand as her"Are you a man?" |
47117 | one to whom they all owed so much, and from whom he, Burke, had learned many a grace of oratory? |
47117 | or the soft desire?" |
47117 | said Warburton,"by what law?" |
47117 | the great? |
47117 | the natural? |
47117 | was as much superior in significance to that of Mrs. Siddons, as the"Was he alive?" |
47117 | what next?" |
47117 | whereon Quin retorted with,"And have you been cured of it?" |
47117 | you are there, are you? |
13928 | And is not that, perhaps, the supreme merit of acting? |
13928 | And still the question remains: how much of this success is due to the playwright''s skill or to the skill of the actors? |
13928 | Are those quite the words one would use about the play in English? |
13928 | Are we always quite certain what we mean when we speak of an artist? |
13928 | Are we capable of realising the difference? |
13928 | Before saying to himself: what would this particular person say or do in these circumstances? |
13928 | But can it? |
13928 | But how? |
13928 | But is not all art a suggestion, an evocation, never a statement? |
13928 | But is not that a trifle too obvious sentiment for the true artist in artificial things? |
13928 | But is there, anywhere but in Ireland, an attempt to write imaginative literature in the form of drama? |
13928 | But might not the experiment be tried? |
13928 | Could Pachmann himself explain to us his own magic? |
13928 | Does anyone"seriously contest"its right not to"rank as Literature"? |
13928 | Does not gesture indeed make emotion, more certainly and more immediately than emotion makes gesture? |
13928 | Does not the play, for instance, lose a little in its acceptance of those narrow limits of the footlights? |
13928 | Does she deliberately choose the plays most obviously not written for her in order to extort a triumph out of her enemies? |
13928 | Elsewhere, how often do we find even so much as this, in more than a single writer here and there? |
13928 | GREAT ACTING IN ENGLISH Why is it that we have at the present moment no great acting in England? |
13928 | Has the most gradual of stage- moons ever caught the miraculous lunar trick to the life? |
13928 | Has the real hedgerow ever brought a breath of the country upon the stage? |
13928 | Here are two arts helping one another; something is gained, but how much is lost? |
13928 | How is it that in this play the actors obtain a fine result, act on a higher level, than in their realistic Sicilian tragedies? |
13928 | How 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? |
13928 | How many English actresses, I wonder, would have been capable of dealing adequately with such a scene as that? |
13928 | In casting away his formulas, has he the big human mastery which alone could replace them? |
13928 | Is Mr. Redford capable of discriminating between what is artistically fine and what is artistically ignoble? |
13928 | Is Paderewski after all a Belus? |
13928 | Is it his many coloured soul that"magnetises our poor vertebras,"in Verlaine''s phrase, and not the mere skill of his fingers? |
13928 | Is 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? |
13928 | Is it reality, is it illusion? |
13928 | Is it technique, temperament, touch, that reveals to us what we have never dreamed was hidden in sounds? |
13928 | Is it through Pachmann''s nerves, or through ours, that this communion takes place? |
13928 | Is not, then, the persistent English habit of"crossing stage to right"a national characteristic, ingrained in us, and not only a matter of training? |
13928 | Is the play weak? |
13928 | Now Busoni can do, on the pianoforte, whatever he can conceive; the question is, what can he conceive? |
13928 | Now, is it possible that Miss Julia Neilson really imagined herself to be capable of rendering this scene as it should be rendered? |
13928 | Or 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? |
13928 | THE 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? |
13928 | The brothers surprise Vivarce on the stairs: was he coming from the room of Giselle or of Léonore? |
13928 | The question is: could any one man be found on whose opinion all England might safely rely for its dramatic instruction and entertainment? |
13928 | The 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? |
13928 | There are many more names, if I could remember them; but where is the serious playwright? |
13928 | There is Mr. Pinero, Mr. Jones, Mr. Grundy: what names are better known, or less to be associated with literature? |
13928 | There is something in her aspect, what shall I call it? |
13928 | Undoubtedly the words lose, and does not the voice lose something also, in its directness of appeal? |
13928 | What fine vision was there to bring down? |
13928 | What is the peculiar quality in this artist which acts always with the same intoxicating effect? |
13928 | What 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? |
13928 | What should we say if he rearranged the composer''s score for the convenience of his own orchestra? |
13928 | What should we say if the conductor of an orchestra committed a single one of these criminal absurdities? |
13928 | What should we say if the first fiddle insisted on having a cadenza to himself in the course of every dozen bars of the music? |
13928 | Who is there on our stage who has completely mastered those two first requirements of acting? |
13928 | Who is there that can give us, not the external gesture, but the inner meaning, of some beautiful and subtle passage in Shakespeare? |
13928 | Why leave the ball- room? |
13928 | Why not? |
13928 | Why should not the visible world be treated in the same spirit as the invisible world of character and temperament? |
13928 | Why wear chains for dancing? |
13928 | Would it have been so effective, that is to say, so real? |
13928 | Yet what method is there besides these two methods? |
13928 | and as"Which?" |
13928 | he says to himself: what would it be effective on the stage for this particular person to do or say? |
13928 | what poetry hid in thought or passion was lost to us in its passage across the stage? |
53225 | ''Will the entertainment be consistent?'' |
53225 | Are you going to sell any of your hats? |
53225 | But,I argued,"how could you do that? |
53225 | Consistent? |
53225 | Dear Mr. Grossmith,--Are you inclined to go on the stage for a time? 53225 Did I?" |
53225 | Did you see that Mr.---- is writing his reminiscences? |
53225 | Do n''t you think it rather a pity that he should do so? |
53225 | Do you seriously want me to do that? |
53225 | How much does a Mayor get here? |
53225 | In what way? |
53225 | Is there no change of costumes? 53225 Oh, I say, George, have you got a piece of sticking- plaister?" |
53225 | Oh,said the clerk, a little puzzled,"one of the guests? |
53225 | What first put it into your head to give entertainments? |
53225 | What? |
53225 | Why 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? |
53225 | After he finished the song, I said:"I presume you desire me to recommend you to Mr. Carte for the chorus?" |
53225 | Are you afraid of the sea? |
53225 | Are you going to give us any of your little funniments-- eh?" |
53225 | At a quarter to five two ladies arrived, and at five the hostess, addressing me, said:"Would you mind commencing now? |
53225 | At the conclusion of the sketch I said to the lady:"I hope I was not too long?" |
53225 | Burnand promptly replied,"Oh, are you going to_ stick_ here all night?" |
53225 | But the great thing is-- what sort of entertainment do you give?" |
53225 | But the''mystery''is, how is it she is_ not_ telling the cards correctly? |
53225 | Ca n''t you spend a Sunday with me? |
53225 | Carte was so puzzled that he said to Mr. X.:"I thought you had shaved your moustache?" |
53225 | Come and sup after the play next Saturday at Dover Street?" |
53225 | Dear Grossmith,--Are you down in this neighbourhood to- morrow any time? |
53225 | Did n''t you hear me do it? |
53225 | Do n''t they know what to do? |
53225 | Do n''t you require any scenery or footlights?" |
53225 | Do you hear?" |
53225 | Do you know nearly everybody takes me for Mr. Grossmith? |
53225 | Do you understand me? |
53225 | Do you want to try your song? |
53225 | Do you? |
53225 | Everybody dead? |
53225 | Flowers:_ You would n''t have me punish a child like that, would you? |
53225 | Flowers_( 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? |
53225 | Gilbert_( still politely): Mr. Snooks, do n''t you appreciate the difference between the accent on"counting"and the accent on"house"? |
53225 | Grain?" |
53225 | Grossmith?" |
53225 | Grossmith?" |
53225 | HAMLET(_ sitting up_)-- What? |
53225 | Have you and Mrs. Grossmith any sharp spuds, and would you like to race me in a drill? |
53225 | Have you?" |
53225 | He enquired how mine was going at the Polytechnic? |
53225 | He leered at me and asked,"What for?" |
53225 | How are you? |
53225 | How do I know who you are? |
53225 | How_ can_ you think of all these things? |
53225 | I do n''t say you are one: still, how am I to know you are_ not_ one-- eh? |
53225 | I enquired what? |
53225 | I enquired, as a matter of course, how his new song was going at the Gallery of Illustration? |
53225 | I 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?" |
53225 | I said:"Sticks, I believe you died of drink?" |
53225 | I said:"Well, were n''t you bored with all the rot I''ve been talking?" |
53225 | I thought a little, and then said:"Would you kindly explain the question? |
53225 | I wonder if my friend Frank Thornton will be offended if I repeat an oft- told story about him? |
53225 | Is it to be wondered at, that it attacked also the school of the Misses Hay? |
53225 | Lots of people come to me and say,"I hope you wo n''t take me off?" |
53225 | May I ask the favour of your vocal assistance? |
53225 | Mr. 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?" |
53225 | Mr. Grossmith, what are you doing here? |
53225 | Mr. Gunn turned to the man and said:"What nationality are you? |
53225 | My father said,"Topic? |
53225 | My victim, seeing his chance, led the attack:"Anything more to say?" |
53225 | Now ought I to have shaken hands with him? |
53225 | One may well exclaim,"What''s in a name?" |
53225 | Presently he said,"What do you want to change your clothes for?" |
53225 | She departed with the baby, and soothed it with the following pleasant remark about myself:"Was''i m frightened by an ugly man den?" |
53225 | She replied,"Oh dear, no; but did any lady really ask you that question?" |
53225 | Sticks, I wish to ask you a few questions?" |
53225 | Sticks, do not think I mean to be disrespectful; but are you drunk now?" |
53225 | Sticks,"I asked,"is it possible to take too much drink in purgatory?" |
53225 | Sullivan then sang,"My name is John Wellington Wells,"and said,"You can do that?" |
53225 | Surely you have never heard it pronounced in any other way? |
53225 | The Chairman replied:"Do you think so, Mr. Grossmith? |
53225 | The Duke, who is tolerably well- known for his brusque and autocratic manner, addressing her Grace in my presence, said,"Has that fellow arrived yet?" |
53225 | The butler continued reading:"''What will be his terms?''" |
53225 | The butler made a note of the terms, and continued:"''Will the entertainment be consistent?''" |
53225 | The first question was:"Can Mr. Grossmith give an entertainment at Aberdeen on Jan.----?" |
53225 | Two 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?" |
53225 | What is it?" |
53225 | What topic?" |
53225 | What''ll be the terms?" |
53225 | Who was John King? |
53225 | Why Leamington? |
53225 | Why, that wo n''t do; For who''s to speak the tag? |
53225 | Will you sing now?" |
53225 | X.?" |
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? |
53225 | everybody? |
53225 | how long have I got? |
53225 | what have I got? |
44065 | How is it possible to be otherwise,said Powel,"when I hear you speak?" |

44065 | And for what Reason? |
44065 | And has not Colley still his lord and whore? |
44065 | And may we not, by a parity of Reason, suppose, that by his Neglect a fourth Part of it_ does_ fall to Ruin? |
44065 | And what less can we call that proud Man who would put another out of the World only for putting him out of Humour? |
44065 | And when I speak of our Errors, why may I not extenuate them by illustrious Examples? |
44065 | And why is there not as much Honesty in owning as in concealing it? |
44065 | And why should not a weak Man have the same Indulgence? |
44065 | And will Sir_ Richard_, then, make us no Compensation for so valuable a Loss in our Interests, and so palpable an Addition to our Labour? |
44065 | And yet had the Actors refus''d this Play, what Resentment might have been thought too severe for them? |
44065 | Are Defects and Disproportions to be the only labour''d Features in a Portrait? |
44065 | Are not you every Day complaining of your being over- labour''d? |
44065 | As, for Instance, how many fruitless Motions have been made in Parliaments to moderate the enormous Exactions in the Practice of the Law? |
44065 | But in_ Dogget_''s Case it may be ask''d, How was he to behave himself? |
44065 | But might not his House be oftener full if the Auditors were oftener pleas''d? |
44065 | But what are narrow Contracts to great Souls with growing Desires? |
44065 | But what is all this to the Theatrical Follies I was talking of? |
44065 | But why am I answerable for that? |
44065 | Could he then foresee he should, one time or other, be turn''d out of_ Drury- Lane_? |
44065 | Do not we find that even good Actions have their Share of it? |
44065 | For 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? |

44065 | How long, too, has the Publick been labouring for a Bridge at_ Westminster_? |
44065 | How many sensible Husbands endure the teizing Tongue of a froward Wife only because she is the weaker Vessel? |
44065 | How many_ Whigs_ and_ Tories_ have chang''d their Parties, when their good or bad Pretensions have met with a Check to their higher Preferment? |

44065 | If 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? |
44065 | If what I have said carries any Truth in it, why might not the original Form of this Theatre be restor''d? |
44065 | In what Shape could we listen to Virtue with equal Delight or Appetite of Instruction? |
44065 | Is it of more use to the Publick to know their Errors than their Perfections? |
44065 | Let them the_ Traytor_ or_ Volpone_ try, Could they Rage like_ Cethegus_, or like_ Cassius_ die? |
44065 | Or 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? |
44065 | Or 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? |
44065 | Or why, indeed, may I not suppose that a sensible Reader will rather laugh than look grave at the Pomp of my Parallels? |

44065 | Why may not I plainly say, it was not the Play, but Me, who had a Hand in it, they did not like? |
44065 | Why then should we not always consider that the Rashness of Abuse is but the false Reason of a weak Man? |

13277 | And you stuck awfully last night? |
13277 | But vy not? |
13277 | But,growled my friend,"why could he not be content with the world''s statement? |
13277 | But,persisted Omassa,"you know him, or how could you speak his name?" |

13277 | Did you ever? |

13277 | In the heels, said you? 13277 Not sick, with that white face and those poor curdling hands?" |
13277 | Oh,she said, in deep disappointment,"ca n''t you remember me at all-- not at all?" |
13277 | One day,said the warden,"she asked to see me for a moment, and I exclaimed at sight of her,''What is it that''s happened?'' |
13277 | Well,said he,"did you know who that bust was?" |
13277 | What in the devil? |
13277 | What was he like, your Frank? |
13277 | What you think I do for my Frank Sen''s birsday? 13277 What''s his other name?" |
13277 | What,I asked,"did the child mean by getting a smacking last week?" |
13277 | Why not? |
13277 | Why,I went on,"did you not take that money, dear?" |
13277 | Why,they ask,"did he not describe Crown Princess Victoria"( the late Empress Frederick)"at least-- how she looked, what she wore? |
13277 | Will it hold? 13277 Y- e- es, you cross, I see-- but what for?" |

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

13277 | While two motherly bodies ask,"What one thing worries an actress the most?" |
13277 | Why add anything to the sight of this?" |
13277 | Why did they permit him to write of himself?" |
13277 | Why had he no reticence? |
13277 | Why 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? |
13277 | Why not, ven he is so goot? |
13277 | Will it hold that beard securely?" |
13277 | Will these few, well- dressed, well- lighted, music- thrilled moments repay you for the loss of home love, home comfort, home stardom? |
13277 | Will 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? |
13277 | Will you kindly set us right?" |
13277 | Yes; but what else can you expect? |
13277 | Yet here it was so bright, and she was-- was, where? |
13277 | You hav''not write for room for zat maid?" |
13277 | You have_ no_ reason for come here, you say? |

13277 | and of course you apprehend trouble with Daly? |
13277 | ca n''t you have that man arrested?" |
13277 | did I not tell you it was a common tale? |

46341 | Is he dead? |
46341 | Is that known in Paris? |
46341 | Is that right? |
46341 | Maybe it will,I agreed,"but we have n''t done any wrong, any harm, so why should we worry?" |

46341 | Alone? |
46341 | Also how about the returns from a revival of both? |
46341 | Am I not to be envied? |
46341 | And why not? |
46341 | And why should I take myself seriously when nobody else does? |
46341 | Are all the budding geniuses to be strangled at their birth, their dreams to be made delusions? |
46341 | Are they to have no chance to gratify their ambitions, only the remote possibility of being one of an ensemble? |
46341 | Are we? |
46341 | Are you sure?" |
46341 | As for our contemplated plunge into matrimony Gertrude asked,"Why deny that? |
46341 | As 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?" |
46341 | As we stood there I chanced to overhear this remark:"How could you possibly have married such a vulgar little person?" |
46341 | At the end of every act I simply said,"Go on,"and at the finish,"When do we produce that play?" |
46341 | But San Francisco asked,"How can a man be a hero and have red hair?" |
46341 | But 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?" |
46341 | But after all-- what''s in a name? |
46341 | But do the masses know? |
46341 | By what right has the modern actor forsaken his frock coat for the sock and buskin? |
46341 | Can you imagine anything more ludicrous than these psalm singers making arbitrary laws about the temperature of our food? |
46341 | Cowardly? |
46341 | Did he ever cause a ripple of laughter to equal those ripples set running by delightful Willie Collier? |
46341 | Did he ever hold you enthralled in a spell of reverence, as did Salvini or John McCullough in his address to the Senate in"Othello"? |
46341 | Did the public go to see the players or the play? |
46341 | Do n''t you think I am frightened enough without this information?" |
46341 | Do n''t you think him rather amusing? |
46341 | Does it ever occur to these psalm singers that people do this of their own volition? |
46341 | During the several months before my wife finally won(?) |
46341 | Everybody loved him and who could help it? |
46341 | Finally 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?" |
46341 | HE: Did he talk remarkably well to- night? |
46341 | HE: Does he-- really? |
46341 | HE: In what way? |
46341 | HE: Really? |
46341 | HE: Were those stories he told at dinner supposed to be funny? |

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

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

47491 | Say,said Spangler, giving his attention to Josh,"where did you butt inter this game?" |
47491 | So you threaten me, do you? 47491 Surprised?" |

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

47491 | Mebby they''re on the shelf?" |
47491 | Now let me ask you how you and your mother are getting along?" |
47491 | Nugent?" |
47491 | Nugent?" |
47491 | Page 4, removed unnecessary quote after"Legree was about to secure it?" |
47491 | Put a bow- knot on his lunch- hooks?" |
47491 | Raw? |

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

47491 | Why was the car moving? |
47491 | Will yez shtay f''r dinner? |
47491 | With his temper at fever heat, what did he care how he injured the runabout just so he evened his score with Motor Matt? |
47491 | Wot was happenin'', I says t''meself, an''w''y was it happenin''? |
47491 | Wot yous done to Klegg?" |
47491 | Wot''s de meanin''o''dat?" |
47491 | Wot''s de play?" |
47491 | Wot''s in yer block, Matt?" |
47491 | Would Matt in any way endanger the car by staying a short time in Fairview? |
47491 | You were n''t moseying out there just to give us a chance to lift that tin box, were you? |
47491 | Yous could n''t make Tomlinson take dis car f''r de odder, could yous?" |
47491 | Yous figgerin''on makin''a getaway wit''de runabout?" |
47491 | asked Matt,"just as you stole Nugent''s?" |
47491 | cried Carl;"vat iss dot?" |
47491 | cried Eliza;"are they following us?" |
47491 | he called,"what are you trying to do?" |
47491 | sang 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? |
34814 | Anything wrong? |
34814 | As much as that? 34814 Aw, what''s the matter with you?" |
34814 | Blonde? |
34814 | But what? |
34814 | Call it acting to walk on and play yourself? 34814 Call that acting?" |
34814 | Did Mr. Hartley-- did my husband say he expected me to wait? |
34814 | Did n''t Tom tell you about it?... 34814 Did you know that the--_the_ lady was coming to Cleveland?" |
34814 | Did-- did Mr. Hartley intimate----? |
34814 | Do 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? |
34814 | Do you mean that''these things''are a part-- a regular part-- of the business? |
34814 | Do you remember the first time you came to me? 34814 Doc, what''s the best time your machine can make? |
34814 | For Heaven''s sake do n''t give us away, will you? |
34814 | For me? |
34814 | Had any experience? |
34814 | He''s just crazy about you, ai n''t he? |
34814 | How do you like being married to a matinée idol? |
34814 | How do you mean-- encouraged? |
34814 | How do you suppose she explains it to----? |
34814 | How does your part pan out? |
34814 | How is the world using you? 34814 How long have you known Fannie? |
34814 | How long will it take him to get here? |
34814 | How was the house last night? |
34814 | I 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? |
34814 | I''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? |
34814 | Is Mr. Frohman in? |
34814 | Is he a manager, or a producer, or?--? |
34814 | Is he? |
34814 | Is it right?... 34814 Is that so? |
34814 | Is that what you were going to show me? 34814 It was decent of the Doc, was n''t it? |
34814 | It''s a beastly day, is n''t it? 34814 It''s a clipping from the Club Window....""Then you''ve seen it?" |
34814 | It''s a long way from Broadway, eh, girlie? |
34814 | Little girl, why do n''t you persuade him to give up the stage and go back to the law? |
34814 | My dear,I responded feebly,"my dear, do n''t you realize what an awful old chestnut that neglected wife story is? |
34814 | My husband... do you think it''s right to him?... |
34814 | O, 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? |
34814 | Of 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?" |
34814 | Play the game? |
34814 | Pretty little figure... what d''ye weigh? |
34814 | Right? 34814 Say, little woman, you did put it all over me there in Cincinnati, did n''t you?... |
34814 | Scared? 34814 Shall you be late?" |
34814 | Show me what? |
34814 | Signed for next season? |
34814 | So that''s what you think, is it?... 34814 So this is why you would n''t join our party, eh? |
34814 | So you''ve turned against me, too, have you? 34814 Suppose one has children?" |
34814 | Then 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? |
34814 | This far? 34814 Was she afraid to go back home?" |
34814 | Well, little girl, what have you got to say for yourself?... 34814 Well, suppose he is?" |
34814 | Well, you look the part all right.... How much experience have you had? |
34814 | Were you in Cleveland? |
34814 | What are you laughing at? |
34814 | What do you think of him trying to put it over me? |
34814 | What do you think of the play? |
34814 | What good would that have done? 34814 What have you been doing to Alice? |
34814 | What kind of a part is it? |
34814 | What knife? |
34814 | What led you to believe she had better sense?--anything in her past performances? |
34814 | What time is it?... 34814 What''s the salary?" |
34814 | What''s this? |
34814 | What--_what_ must you think of me? |
34814 | Where are you going? |
34814 | Where''s the knife-- the fatal dagger? |
34814 | Why confine it to Boston? 34814 Why did n''t they purloin a beer- stein, quiescent on a japanned tray?" |
34814 | Why 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?" |
34814 | Why not? |
34814 | Will-- weren''t they_ horribly_ expensive? |
34814 | Will... do you mean to tell me that you never encouraged this woman? |
34814 | Wo n''t you sit down? 34814 Yes?" |
34814 | You believe actresses are any worse, even as bad, as the women I met at dinner last week? |
34814 | You 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?" |
34814 | You 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?" |
34814 | A minister? |
34814 | ARE YOU INTERESTED in the Preservation of the Race? |
34814 | After all, what did it matter where I went?... |
34814 | After 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?" |
34814 | Agreed?" |
34814 | All art needs fostering, and who better able to help the climbers than----?" |
34814 | And 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?" |
34814 | And had I not already prostituted the best that was in me? |
34814 | And is n''t the boy the livin''image of his father?" |
34814 | And let us assume that he did: How long do you think it would last? |
34814 | And the woman-- and the two little girls... what of them?... |
34814 | And was n''t my Willy furiously angry? |
34814 | And what does this separation lead to in the end? |
34814 | And what manner of men are they who_ do_ marry a girl out of the chorus? |
34814 | And would n''t I look nice climbing on and off trains, and coming into hotels with a baby in my arms? |
34814 | And your missus? |
34814 | And, after all, what did it matter? |
34814 | Anyway, that''s the kind of bunk you''re up against when you marry in the profession.... Where was I?... |
34814 | Are n''t parents a conceited lot?" |
34814 | Are n''t you going to shake hands?... |
34814 | Are you familiar with the symptoms of the grippe?" |
34814 | As he passed on behind her chair he said to her_ sotto voce_,"Headache, eh? |
34814 | As my little friend had put it,"What incentive have they to go straight?" |
34814 | But 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?" |
34814 | But is the economic welfare of the child the prime and only consideration? |
34814 | But, wait awhile.... Have you finished with your tea? |
34814 | Can I give all a man expects from the woman he makes his wife? |
34814 | Can the influence of unwelcome conception upon the child itself ever be computed? |
34814 | Can there be no relationship between man and woman disassociated from sex? |
34814 | Can you beat it? |
34814 | Could n''t you have gone to another hotel?" |
34814 | Did I still love him despite his infidelities, his ever- increasing neglect and selfishness? |
34814 | Did n''t I predict what would happen?" |
34814 | Did she intend to kill him or kill herself? |
34814 | Did you ever see anything like it? |
34814 | Do I flatter myself that I have caught your eye once or twice as the curtain falls? |
34814 | Do I know her?" |
34814 | Do n''t I look a sight?" |
34814 | Do n''t you love it?" |
34814 | Do n''t you think so?" |
34814 | Do they instinctively demand a higher code of honour from their kind while meekly acquiescent to the conventional license for men? |
34814 | Do you know you never sent me that box of candy I won from you in Cincinnati? |
34814 | Do you recognize that? |
34814 | Do you suppose that side of it ever reaches the public? |
34814 | Do you think any yellow sheet ever let an opportunity like that go by?... |
34814 | Do you think it''s right?..." |
34814 | Do you understand my scruples? |
34814 | Doc, who''s he got with him?" |
34814 | Does every wife suspect her husband''s stenographer?" |
34814 | Edith knows how cold- blooded he is, do n''t you, Edith? |
34814 | Edith will call us if she awakens, wo n''t you, Edith?" |
34814 | Electricity had been harnessed, why not love? |
34814 | F.?... |
34814 | For God''s sake, child, what''s happened to you? |
34814 | For the sake of the family they keep up appearances.... She does n''t understand him....""Did_ he_ tell you that-- and you_ believe_ it?" |
34814 | Frohman?" |
34814 | Had I professed or felt any emotion other than which I indicated? |
34814 | Had the husband arrived to demand Heaven only knew what?... |
34814 | Had this man by look or word professed other than friendship for me? |
34814 | Hartley?" |
34814 | Have I succeeded, do you think? |
34814 | Have n''t you one honest, sincere emotion in your nature? |
34814 | Have you ever thought of the time when you will be no longer young? |
34814 | Have you no shame, have you no reverence for the memory of that sainted child?... |
34814 | He forestalled any alarm about his health by saying he was not ill, but had he told the truth? |
34814 | He leaned across the table with a confidential air and smiled quizzically...."Do you remember the last time we had supper together?" |
34814 | He looked at me with his eyes narrowed to mere slits...."Well, little woman, I ca n''t say that of you, can I?... |
34814 | He seemed to have talked himself out...."Which of them is it?... |
34814 | He told me you were Mrs. Hartley in private life.... Well, what''s the answer?" |
34814 | He was what they call the''Acting Manager,''travelled on the road and represented the New York office-- understand? |
34814 | He''ll want a bite to eat anyway, and why not be sociable? |
34814 | Her eyes met mine, then wavered and drooped, and drooping rested upon the violets-- and we both understood...."Wo n''t you sit down?" |
34814 | Her invariable"Now, ma''am, what''ll I fly at next?" |
34814 | How can any one be flattered by the saccharine platitudes which are ground out automatically like chewing- gum from a slot- machine? |
34814 | How dare you conjure with my son''s name?... |
34814 | How do you mean? |
34814 | How does anybody know what I''ve suffered for years living with that man?... |
34814 | How few planned with the wish to bestow the best of one''s flesh and spirit upon the little stranger? |
34814 | How goes your own work? |
34814 | How long do you believe your mad passion would endure, stripped of little appurtenances like wine suppers and suites of rooms in the best hotels?... |
34814 | How long has she been sick?" |
34814 | How long is your wife going to be in town?" |
34814 | How many births the result of accident? |
34814 | How many children, I wonder, are conceived in the same spirit? |
34814 | How will you live? |
34814 | How''s your pulse?" |
34814 | I ask myself, can a woman love more than once? |
34814 | I believe that really was the case, was it not?" |
34814 | I believe with Bernard Shaw:''They say-- what do they say? |
34814 | I could not prevent myself from saying,"Do you think it is nice to befoul your own nest?" |
34814 | I had already tasted of this bitterness-- was I now to be surfeited with it? |
34814 | I have apologized.... After all, what are we rowing about? |
34814 | I indicated the apartment, the piano, the silk négligée-- and the ring on her finger...."Is it worth the price you are paying?" |
34814 | I like the single variety best, do n''t you, Will? |
34814 | I presume you are right.... How did I come to go on the stage?... |
34814 | I said finally...."Leila, is it worth it?" |
34814 | I stopped up my ears to shut out his voice...."How did it begin?" |
34814 | I suppose you''re wondering how I got wise to it? |
34814 | I think he understood, for as I passed him he said to me in a low, intense tone,"Is that beast annoying you?" |
34814 | I want my gurgle of delight to get_ over_--understand?... |
34814 | I 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? |
34814 | I wonder why it is that women invariably punish their own sex and exempt the man? |
34814 | I would tell him the whole miserable experience... and he... what would_ he_ do? |
34814 | I''d----""Do n''t you think you are wearing that threat a little threadbare?" |
34814 | If life was barren now, what should it be without him? |
34814 | If you had some men to deal with... how many of''em can stand up against that sort of thing without losing their heads?... |
34814 | Is it not possible? |
34814 | Is n''t that a proof of my devotion? |
34814 | Is the physical protection the one and uppermost consummation to be desired? |
34814 | Is there a love for youth, a love for maturity?... |
34814 | Is there anything I can do?" |
34814 | It fits you like a glove; and, speaking of parts, what do you think of_ that_ for a star- part? |
34814 | It 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?" |
34814 | It is n''t every wife who can support her husband, is it, old man?" |
34814 | It was the woman who spoke...."Who''ve you got with you?" |
34814 | It was with almost superhuman effort I framed the words...."Shall I... send for his father?..." |
34814 | It''s a mistake to be too fastidious....""Is-- is-- he married?" |
34814 | It''s awfully good of you to bother about me....""Leila?" |
34814 | It''s nice, is n''t it? |
34814 | Jones?" |
34814 | Leila, dear girl, could n''t you make up your mind to stick it out just a little while longer?... |
34814 | Let me think, now, what was his name? |
34814 | May not criminal tendencies and moral delinquencies be traced to such a source? |
34814 | Might I not, after all, with patience, devotion, tolerance and a single- heartedness of purpose lead his wandering steps back to me? |
34814 | My God, where is your sense of honour? |
34814 | No doubt our friend, here, has done his best to put you wise, eh? |
34814 | Now, for the first time, I understood Will''s watchfulness-- perhaps I understood why the star''s wife had so sad a face...."And what?" |
34814 | On what pretence? |
34814 | Perhaps it was not of great consequence, but, does a woman ever forgive a man for wounding her self- respect?... |
34814 | Put your arms around my neck.... You have n''t fainted, have you?" |
34814 | SHALL OUR WOMEN BE SACRIFICED? |
34814 | Shall I be giving, does any man give, what he demands of a woman as the prerogative of his sex? |
34814 | She argued that, since father had left us comfortably fixed, why should I want to worry my head about work? |
34814 | She''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?... |
34814 | Should I be able to steer his craft, even launch it safely,_ preparedly_ on the turbulent sea of life? |
34814 | Simultaneously 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?" |
34814 | So you''re an_ ingénue_"( he pronounced it as if it were spelled_ on- je- new_),"are you?" |
34814 | Suppose I were to divorce my husband, naming you as co- respondent: do you flatter yourself he would marry you? |
34814 | Suppose_ you_ do n''t get away with it... suppose your husband divorces you... what will become of you? |
34814 | That 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? |
34814 | That''s what queered me with C. F.... Then, what d''ye think I did?" |
34814 | The idea was repugnant, but was it not all revolting in the extreme? |
34814 | The streets, the work- house, or suicide.... Have you thought of that?" |
34814 | The way she said,"Yes?" |
34814 | Then why permit the bond to be severed by a wholly suppositious breach? |
34814 | Then, before I go to the performance, we''ll outline some plan of action....""What do you want me to do?" |
34814 | There are so many evil- minded people in the world-- don''t you find it so?" |
34814 | There''s my club address... and, little lady-- don''t be afraid that I''ll ask anything in return-- do you follow me? |
34814 | These damned women are always worse when they get along in life....""What did this''club''woman expect of you?... |
34814 | They''ve got your eyes, though they have inherited Fannie''s regular features...."Would my tongue never stop wagging? |
34814 | This trip I brought Boy to Chicago.... You have n''t seen my young son, have you? |
34814 | Together you can cook up something to placate the irate husband....''Ca n''t you just hear the old Doc roar? |
34814 | Was I, too, become impregnated with the corroding influence of my environment? |
34814 | Was friendship between persons of opposite sex not possible? |
34814 | Was it a case of self- hypnosis and was I really feeling the interest and friendliness I pretended? |
34814 | We looked into each other''s eyes.... After a while I managed to say,"Well, dear?" |
34814 | We''ve been worried to death... she''s asleep now, after the most racking night... do you mind not waking her for the present?... |
34814 | What am I to do? |
34814 | What did Will mean by"need your presence"? |
34814 | What did she want?" |
34814 | What do you say?" |
34814 | What have I to give? |
34814 | What in the name of wonder ever took you on the comic opera stage? |
34814 | What incentive has a girl like me to be good? |
34814 | What manner of woman had I suddenly become? |
34814 | What of the spiritual, the moral side of the stage- child? |
34814 | What of?" |
34814 | What on earth was the trouble? |
34814 | What right have you to expect_ anything_ from your wife? |
34814 | What right have you to judge? |
34814 | What was it which held me to my husband? |
34814 | What was the woman to me that I should exert myself to put her at ease with herself? |
34814 | What was there to say? |
34814 | What will you wager that I can guess what that paper is the very first time?" |
34814 | What''s the matter? |
34814 | When are you coming out of the nunnery?..." |
34814 | Where are you stopping? |
34814 | Where do you carry it all?" |
34814 | Where had I met her husband and when? |
34814 | Where were you sitting? |
34814 | Where_ did_ you learn to make love? |
34814 | Who did you mean by''the rest''--women as a class-- the class you go about with-- or the women of the stage?" |
34814 | Why did n''t you hand him one? |
34814 | Why did n''t you smack his face?" |
34814 | Why did n''t you tell me you were coming?" |
34814 | Why did n''t you tell me you were married? |
34814 | Why do n''t I get on? |
34814 | Why do n''t you introduce me to some of your gentlemen friends?" |
34814 | Why honour parents who are not qualified to command either respect or affection? |
34814 | Why not Philadelphia, Washington or----?" |
34814 | Why waste money?... |
34814 | Why were not all husbands and wives as much in love with each other as were Will and I? |
34814 | Why, do n''t you know who he is? |
34814 | Why? |
34814 | Will was not altogether satisfied with his rôle, but what actor ever is? |
34814 | Would n''t that be Frank just down to the ground? |
34814 | Would the dinner never come to an end? |
34814 | Would they never go? |
34814 | You can show up bright and early to- morrow-- don''t you intend to take the engagement?" |
34814 | You do n''t think he turns''em_ all_ down, do you? |
34814 | You know how they feel about the stage....""What about me?" |
34814 | You remember the nice things she wrote about me when I played Chicago the last time? |
34814 | You''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?" |
38610 | Afraid of what? |
38610 | After making such a fizzle to- day? 38610 Ah, Brandon,"he said to the officer,"another one?" |
38610 | All? |
38610 | Am I so famous as that? |
38610 | An insane person? |
38610 | An''did he hev ther gall to write to ye? |
38610 | An''got drownded? |
38610 | And I suppose you think this is my hoodoo? |
38610 | And all that money is yourn? |
38610 | And did not find another? |
38610 | And he is in Denver? |
38610 | And these are the witnesses? |
38610 | And where is the lady who makes the charge? |
38610 | And yeou faound it? |
38610 | And you refused? |
38610 | Are you certain? |
38610 | Are you sick? |
38610 | Are you sure there was n''t any money in it when you examined it? |
38610 | Are you sure? |
38610 | At what? |
38610 | Be yeou goin''to hit where ye''re lookin''? |
38610 | Blanche,he whispered, huskily,"can you forgive your old dad for treating you as he has? |
38610 | But 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?" |
38610 | But what''s the matter? 38610 But why should she be on this train?" |
38610 | But you were not at the hotel last night? |
38610 | By that I presume you mean he is a bucker? |
38610 | Can you get your business here done to- day? |
38610 | Did he come down from there? 38610 Did he know them?" |
38610 | Did ye git ther critter? |
38610 | Did you mistake this person for the veiled woman I meant? |
38610 | Did you say you were at liberty? |
38610 | Disappeared-- gone? 38610 Do n''t let who get away?" |
38610 | Do they keep you shut up in that room? |
38610 | Do ye? |
38610 | Do you actually refuse? |
38610 | Do you call him your friend? |
38610 | Do you mean that I am insane? |
38610 | Do you mean this? |
38610 | Do you own him? |
38610 | Do you remember me? |
38610 | Do 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? |
38610 | Does he snore loudly? |
38610 | Driver,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?" |
38610 | Find her? |
38610 | For what? |
38610 | For what? |
38610 | Good for that? 38610 Got two thousand dollars?" |
38610 | Haow did it happen? |
38610 | Haow much''ll yeou hev arter yeou divide? |
38610 | Has he ever been ridden? |
38610 | Has he fallen heir to a fortune? |
38610 | Hate them, Hodge? |
38610 | Have n''t you any way of getting hold of money? |
38610 | Have you been able to raise enough to take us all back to Denver, Frank? |
38610 | Have you? |
38610 | Hawse or kaow? |
38610 | He has n''t come? |
38610 | He was trying to throw you over? |
38610 | Her heart? |
38610 | Hev ye gotter hit him real hard? 38610 How can you be?" |
38610 | How did it happen? 38610 How do you know, Havener?" |
38610 | How do you know? |
38610 | How do you like the looks of it? |
38610 | How do you mean? |
38610 | How have I acted to make you fancy me demented? |
38610 | How is that? |
38610 | How long ago? |
38610 | How much have you raised? |
38610 | How much time have you now? |
38610 | How was she dressed? 38610 How?" |
38610 | How? |
38610 | How? |
38610 | How? |
38610 | I did? |
38610 | I presume you are thinking of getting back to New York? |
38610 | I presume you will pay Lloyd Fowler two weeks salary? |
38610 | I suppose you must have one that has some reference to college? |
38610 | I thought you were on the road with your show? |
38610 | I wonder how he takes it? |
38610 | If this woman follows you, what will you do? |
38610 | Is it possible she is one of those foolish women who fall in love with actors? |
38610 | Is it possible you have read that paper you hold in your hand? |
38610 | Is it possible? |
38610 | Is n''t this rather late for a call? 38610 Is that so?" |
38610 | Is that so? |
38610 | Is the old fellow bound out to you? |
38610 | Is this the best saddle horse you have? |
38610 | Is this true? |
38610 | Is this yere your tenderfoot what yer told us ye was goin''ter learn a lesson, Hough? |
38610 | It''s all right to say let him go, but what are you going to do without him? 38610 Jumped?" |
38610 | Kin you ride? |
38610 | Know whom? |
38610 | Look here, young man,he cried,"I''d like to know where you ever learned to ride bucking bronchos?" |
38610 | Madam,he said,"what have I ever done to you that you should attempt to injure me in this manner?" |
38610 | Madam,said Frank, hurriedly,"are you demented? |
38610 | May we come in? |
38610 | Me? |
38610 | Merry,he said, at last, beginning to tremble all over,"are you sure this is good? |
38610 | Monotonous? 38610 News?" |
38610 | Now, can you produce the receipt given you for that treasure? |
38610 | Now, what''s the matter with you? |
38610 | Of whom-- Havener? |
38610 | Oh, there are? |
38610 | Perhaps you know him? |
38610 | Shall not? |
38610 | She? |
38610 | Sick? |
38610 | Singing? |
38610 | Sir? |
38610 | Skipped? |
38610 | So yeou could git yeour share of the boodle? |
38610 | So you are Mr. Frank Merriwell? |
38610 | So you are going to turn me down because I made that talk? 38610 So you refuse me an engagement, do you, Merriwell?" |
38610 | Somebody else? |
38610 | Surely you are not in earnest, Merriwell? |
38610 | That? |
38610 | That? |
38610 | Then I trust you will permit me to remain, and see that you do not meet with any misfortune? |
38610 | Then he got erway? |
38610 | Then it is a female? |
38610 | Then it was Fowler with him? |
38610 | Then some of the others have a new engagement? |
38610 | Then what is crawling over you? 38610 Then why do n''t you let the show business alone and go back to college on that?" |
38610 | Then you contemplate returning to college? |
38610 | Then you have been arrested in Denver before? 38610 Then you have found Prof. Fillmore''s relatives?" |
38610 | Then you saw-- you knew it was a man? |
38610 | Then your backer is all right? 38610 They? |
38610 | Think I could n''t follow Bill Dover and his spotted nigh hawse? |
38610 | Use? 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?" |
38610 | Waal, whut in time''s sake is goin''on here, I''d like ter know? |
38610 | Was I? 38610 Was it a spook?" |
38610 | Was n''t? |
38610 | Well, I presume you will give me a chance when you take the play out again? |
38610 | Well, I wonder what that means? |
38610 | Well, how in the world did you happen to get such a foolish notion into your head? |
38610 | Well, what are you going to do about it? |
38610 | Well, what do you think of him? |
38610 | Well, what shall we do? |
38610 | Well, where is Merriwell? |
38610 | Well,he said,"did you find her?" |
38610 | Well? |
38610 | Wh-- a-- at? |
38610 | What about him? |
38610 | What ailed her? |
38610 | What ailed her? |
38610 | What ails him? |
38610 | What ails you? |
38610 | What are those fellows doing to that poor man? |
38610 | What are you doing with a play? 38610 What are you doing? |
38610 | What are you going to do without a backer? |
38610 | What are you talking about? |
38610 | What can I do for you? |
38610 | What can we do? |
38610 | What did she do? |
38610 | What did you mean by that, Frank? |
38610 | What did you see? |
38610 | What do yeou think of that? |
38610 | What do you make of it? |
38610 | What do you make of it? |
38610 | What do you mean? |
38610 | What do you take me for? 38610 What do you think about it now?" |
38610 | What do you want? |
38610 | What has happened? |
38610 | What have we struck? |
38610 | What is his name? |
38610 | What is it? |
38610 | What is it? |
38610 | What is the charge? |
38610 | What is the matter with your eyes? |
38610 | What is the matter? |
38610 | What is the matter? |
38610 | What is the use to take it differently? |
38610 | What makes you think so? |
38610 | What makes you think so? |
38610 | What sort of a part is it? |
38610 | What was he doing out here? |
38610 | What was the matter? |
38610 | What was the name before? |
38610 | What woman? |
38610 | What''s happened? |
38610 | What''s that? |
38610 | What''s that? |
38610 | What''s the matter with me? |
38610 | What''s the matter with your face? 38610 What''s the matter, Bart?" |
38610 | What''s the matter? |
38610 | What''s the matter? |
38610 | What''s the matter? |
38610 | What''s the use to remember unpleasant things? |
38610 | What''s the use? 38610 What''s this for?" |
38610 | What''s this mean? 38610 What''s this?" |
38610 | What''s this? |
38610 | What-- what is it? |
38610 | What? |
38610 | What? |
38610 | What? |
38610 | What? |
38610 | What? |
38610 | When are you coming East? 38610 When?" |
38610 | When? |
38610 | Where are they? |
38610 | Where are you going? |
38610 | Where did you stay last night? |
38610 | Where is Cassie? |
38610 | Where is all the money coming from? |
38610 | Where is our energetic young manager? |
38610 | Where is the lady, Brandon? |
38610 | Where is the lady? |
38610 | Where is the masher? |
38610 | Where''s the rest of them? |
38610 | Where? |
38610 | Where? |
38610 | Where? |
38610 | Where? |
38610 | Which ones? |
38610 | Who are you? |
38610 | Who can answer that? 38610 Who knows anything about this affair?" |
38610 | Who knows her? |
38610 | Who knows? 38610 Who says so?" |
38610 | Who was the lady? |
38610 | Who was the woman? |
38610 | Who''s Mrs. Hayward Grace? |
38610 | Who''s that? |
38610 | Who? |
38610 | Who? |
38610 | Who? |
38610 | Whut be yeou goin''to do abaout it? |
38610 | Whut happened to um? |
38610 | Whut in thunder do yeou s''pose she''s up to? |
38610 | Whut is it? |
38610 | Whut''s up? |
38610 | Whut? 38610 Whut? |
38610 | Why are you not dressed in the garments of your sex? |
38610 | Why confined there? |
38610 | Why did n''t you put a bit in his mouth? 38610 Why did she go out there?" |
38610 | Why do you wish me to, speak again? |
38610 | Why 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? |
38610 | Why in the world did you let her in? |
38610 | Why not? |
38610 | Why not? |
38610 | Why not? |
38610 | Why not? |
38610 | Why should that make you think so? |
38610 | Why would n''t it be a purty good thing fer ther young chaps all ter take a drink? |
38610 | Why, who is this fellow that seeks to create a disturbance? |
38610 | Why? |
38610 | Will you come to the station? |
38610 | Will you kindly tell me what occurred on the street? |
38610 | Will you listen to his base falsehoods? |
38610 | Will you sit down? |
38610 | Wo n''t? |
38610 | Wonder what made her laugh like that? |
38610 | Would you keep a lady standing on the street? |
38610 | Wouldst 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? |
38610 | You are very kind,she fluttered;"but where is the officer? |
38610 | You confess that? |
38610 | You do n''t mean to say you will keep him after what has happened? |
38610 | You do n''t suppose anything has happened to detain him, do you? |
38610 | You do? |
38610 | You give your word to that? |
38610 | You have? |
38610 | You know it is a drama of college life-- life at Yale? |
38610 | You know me? |
38610 | You-- you''ve what? |
38610 | You? |
38610 | You? |
38610 | Young man,he said,"dost know what thou hast done? |
38610 | Your money? |
38610 | Your play? |
38610 | 231?" |
38610 | Acknowledge that I failed in this undertaking? |
38610 | Ai n''t this a fine day? |
38610 | Ai n''t yeou glad yeou''re livin''?'' |
38610 | And did he climb back up this swaying, loosely dangling rope?" |
38610 | And why did he come here?" |
38610 | And you are accused of insulting a lady?" |
38610 | Are n''t you getting tired of the West? |
38610 | Are you sure there is no crooked business behind it?" |
38610 | But what about the veiled man who was disguised as a woman? |
38610 | But what happened to detain you?" |
38610 | But where is this purse you snatched from her?" |
38610 | But where was the fellow? |
38610 | But where was the woman? |
38610 | Ca n''t you find time to write to us and let us know? |
38610 | Ca n''t you see? |
38610 | Carson?" |
38610 | Carson?" |
38610 | Could it be Hodge had been mistaken? |
38610 | Could it be that Burns, the old actor, whom he had befriended, had sought his life? |
38610 | Do n''t yeou s''pose he might hit back?" |
38610 | Do people usually ride with hackamores out here?" |
38610 | Do you suppose the Wall Street magnates could have become millionaires if they had permitted their conscience to worry them over little points?" |
38610 | Dost think I-- I who have played_ Hamlet_,_ Brutus_,_ Lear_ and_ Othello_--would stoop so low? |
38610 | F.''Now, I wonder what one of my enemies can be fitted to those initials?" |
38610 | Had Merry gone mad? |
38610 | Had his misfortune turned his brain? |
38610 | Had she moved to escape observation? |
38610 | Haow''s that?" |
38610 | Have I interrupted you?" |
38610 | Have n''t I had enough troubles?" |
38610 | Have you ever met him? |
38610 | Have you lost your senses?" |
38610 | He could not see Havener, but heard his voice, and eagerly asked:"Did ye ketch the dratted critter?" |
38610 | He had failed? |
38610 | He''s goin''to take it back to Denver?" |
38610 | He''s standing by you?" |
38610 | How can you do better?" |
38610 | How did he escape? |
38610 | How do you know it was her?" |
38610 | How had anything gained admittance? |
38610 | How had he entered? |
38610 | How long will it take to get your play in shape again?" |
38610 | How many of the craowd saw what happened''tween yeou an''the woman?" |
38610 | How now, fellow?''" |
38610 | How?" |
38610 | I suppose you have a plan of it?" |
38610 | I suppose you will get rid of him in a hurry now?" |
38610 | I suppose you''ll be thinking of rewarding the ladies and gentlemen who called here a short time ago and attempted to bulldoze you?" |
38610 | If not for robbery, what then? |
38610 | Is it possible there are two William Shakespeare Burns in the city of Denver?" |
38610 | Is she alone?" |
38610 | Merriwell?" |
38610 | Merriwell?" |
38610 | Merriwell?" |
38610 | Merriwell?" |
38610 | Merriwell?" |
38610 | Naow whut do yeou think of that? |
38610 | Naow, what du yeou think of that? |
38610 | Next the bobbing man was questioned:"Did you witness the assault on the lady, sir?" |
38610 | Now, is this more of your joking, Merriwell? |
38610 | Placing 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? |
38610 | Shall we put you down for a song?" |
38610 | The policeman came up and forced his way through the crowd, demanding:"What does this mean? |
38610 | The sergeant turned sharply on the little man, to whom he fired the question:"Did you witness this assault on the unknown lady, sir?" |
38610 | Then be yeou goin''to keep right on with the play?" |
38610 | Then he jumped up, almost shouting:"Why, man alive, do n''t you understand that we are charged with murder-- with murder?" |
38610 | Then the sergeant came at the gallant man with the same question:"Did you witness the assault on the lady, sir?" |
38610 | There were excited faces at the glass in the door, and a trainman came out, demanding:"What is all this? |
38610 | To go back to Yale, was it not?" |
38610 | Use? |
38610 | Was he in Denver? |
38610 | Was he in his hour of need to receive this immense sum of money? |
38610 | Was it in the piece, or in the way it had been played? |
38610 | Was it possible that he was not dreaming? |
38610 | Was it some good spirit that hovered near to protect him? |
38610 | Was the masked man waiting for him in the darkness of the alcove? |
38610 | Was the woman aware that she was being watched? |
38610 | Was there anything in those letters you did not like?" |
38610 | Well, I apologized, did n''t I?" |
38610 | Well, now, sir, what do you think of that?" |
38610 | Well, say, why ca n''t you come out to my ranch and do the work?" |
38610 | What are you made of, anyway?" |
38610 | What do you take us for-- a lot of chumps? |
38610 | What do you think? |
38610 | What do you want, anyway? |
38610 | What do you wish me to say?" |
38610 | What does it mean?" |
38610 | What in the name of creation do you suppose I meant?" |
38610 | What in the world do you fancy is the matter with my eyes?" |
38610 | What is happening here?" |
38610 | What is the meaning of this?" |
38610 | What was it they had expected? |
38610 | What was it? |
38610 | What was that? |
38610 | What was the matter? |
38610 | What was there in that room? |
38610 | What were you working for? |
38610 | What''re yer givin''us, anyway?" |
38610 | What''s the matter?" |
38610 | When Merry finished, Bart exclaimed:"How did the woman look?" |
38610 | Where is she?" |
38610 | Where was Scudder? |
38610 | Where was the fault? |
38610 | Who is going to ride them to- night?" |
38610 | Who is she?" |
38610 | Who was Old Eli?" |
38610 | Who''s this that''s comin''here to spoil our fun?" |
38610 | Who?" |
38610 | Why are you out here? |
38610 | Why ca n''t you make a visit to Yale before vacation time? |
38610 | Why did n''t those old duffers use English, and save us poor devils no end of grinding? |
38610 | Why did n''t you draw one on''The First Sand Bank of Denver''? |
38610 | Why did she try such a trick on the street?" |
38610 | Why do you suppose Latin and Greek were invented? |
38610 | Why had the man sought the bed? |
38610 | Why should I not? |
38610 | Why should n''t I call him my friend? |
38610 | Why should that unfortunate old fellow wish to harm me, who has been his friend?" |
38610 | Why was the man veiled and disguised thus?" |
38610 | Why? |
38610 | Will you give it to me?" |
38610 | Will you have a drink with me?" |
38610 | Will 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?" |
38610 | Wo n''t my boy at Yale be surprised when I write him you''ve been visiting me? |
38610 | Would I? |
38610 | Would you have me do that?" |
38610 | Wouldst do me a favor? |
38610 | Wut was her little game?" |
38610 | You are talking about putting your play out again, but how will you do it?" |
38610 | You do not fancy for an instant that Burns was the man, do you?" |
38610 | Your very valuable(?) |
38610 | but how can I thus lower myself?" |
38610 | do n''t you think you can arrange it so you can come East this summer? |
38610 | he exclaimed;"is it you?" |
38610 | wot cher doin''?" |
33537 | A lifetime almost? |
33537 | Ah, yes, yes, that''s what we want to get at-- who is that mother? 33537 And your name is-- er?" |
33537 | Are you going on? |
33537 | Are you mad, girl? |
33537 | But what are you going to do at night? |
33537 | But what can I do for a horse? |
33537 | But where, in the name of Heaven, did you get your information? |
33537 | But,I objected,"he had been dead many hours before the song came to me?" |
33537 | But,cried Mr. Davenport,"where''s-- w- who''s_ Emilia_?" |
33537 | But_ of_ what? |
33537 | Can you go on there? |
33537 | Can you not see, Father,he said,"these lines are spoken in a frenzy? |
33537 | Could I do those two lines? |
33537 | Cut out? |
33537 | D- d- don''t you know me? |
33537 | Did she now? |
33537 | Die? 33537 Do I think so?" |
33537 | Do I wish it? |
33537 | Do you hear? |
33537 | Do you think so? |
33537 | Do you think so? |
33537 | For me? |
33537 | I to play that child? 33537 If Miss Cushman is not a murderess, pray how can she act_ Lady Macbeth_--who is?" |
33537 | If you were to live with your brother, might not that help to keep you strong? |
33537 | Leading business here? |
33537 | Mother,I called, the door being open between our rooms,"Mother, did you hear me singing just now?" |
33537 | Mother,said I,"is there anything in that paper that will interest me?" |
33537 | Mr. Barrett,I asked,"do you wish me to play_ Marie_ now?" |
33537 | Mr. 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? |
33537 | No benefit for our poor? 33537 No,"she said;"were you?" |
33537 | No? 33537 No?" |
33537 | Now can you tell me who that is a miniature of? |
33537 | Oh,I cried,"can you tell me what it was I sang?" |
33537 | Oh,laughed the first,"I see, you mean that Mrs. Ellsler will claim the leading parts as long as she lives? |
33537 | Paid him? |
33537 | Perhaps you''d have some of the men carry knives,sneered Cazauran,"and then she could be stabbed?" |
33537 | Ready, Miss Morris? |
33537 | Suit the action to the word? |
33537 | Tell me,he went on,"have you ever been annoyed by anyone?" |
33537 | That''s it,he said,"that''s whom it means; but are you sure the word''queen''belongs right there?" |
33537 | The piano? |
33537 | The third what? |
33537 | Then,I asked,"why not extreme emotion acting upon a weak heart?" |
33537 | Three years? 33537 Well,"he smiled,"''just Clara,''have you formed any idea of this_ Marie''s_ character?" |
33537 | Well,she exclaimed, a bit impatiently,"what do you_ want_ to do? |
33537 | What are you going to wear, Miss Morris? |
33537 | What do you mean? |
33537 | What in the world are you thinking of, Miss Clara? |
33537 | What is it? |
33537 | What is it? |
33537 | What is it? |
33537 | What''s that got to do with it? |
33537 | What''s the matter with you? |
33537 | What,I asked, dully,"what is a message?" |
33537 | What? |
33537 | What? |
33537 | Who are you? |
33537 | Who gave it to you? |
33537 | Who is she-- have you seen her-- the wonderful Columbus ballet- girl, who wins tears with tears, real ones, too? |
33537 | Who? |
33537 | Why, what on earth has Clara done? |
33537 | Yes, sir? |
33537 | Yes,I broke in impatiently, and turning to her a pair of reproachful, tear- filled eyes,"yes, but why? |
33537 | You do n''t send your handkerchiefs to the wash, do you? |
33537 | You think her a great, great way from you? |
33537 | You 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?) |
33537 | A big boy on the corner yelled after me:"S- a- a- y, Sis, where''s the fire?" |
33537 | A cold terror seized upon me-- a terror of what, the public? |
33537 | A governess in a rich purple? |
33537 | A trick? |
33537 | Act it, in cold blood, there, in the gray, lifeless daylight? |
33537 | After a little silence, he said:"You can not sanction this scene, then, Father?" |
33537 | Again I find:"Undoubtedly you are the strongest, the most original, and the youngest leading lady in the profession-- but why take any risk? |
33537 | Again he repeated the words, adding, impatiently:"I ca n''t place that silver foot-- the bow, the lyre, yes; but the foot? |
33537 | And as I resumed my run I said to myself:"What is it that has tried so hard to tell me-- to warn me? |
33537 | And in my own exaggerated, impatient words I found my first hint--"why_ not_ begin to die in the first act?" |
33537 | And swiftly I made answer:"A writing- desk; why?" |
33537 | And those children-- were they not charming? |
33537 | And when he saw my bewilderment, he added:"Do n''t you see? |
33537 | And while I ran away to change, he called after me:"Say,''Jones''s Baby''is n''t on to- night, is it?" |
33537 | And why should I not make a favorable impression? |
33537 | And why should Mr. Daly wish to see me privately? |
33537 | And wigs? |
33537 | Are you afraid even to be seen listening to me?" |
33537 | As I obediently returned to my room, I said, in a troubled voice:"What do you suppose it means, mother?" |
33537 | As 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?" |
33537 | As I signed my name on the salary list I hesitated perceptibly and he laughingly said:"Do n''t you know your own name?" |
33537 | As Mr. Couldock was heard approaching that morning, his daughter quickly whispered to Mrs. Ellsler:"Ask pa how he liked California?" |
33537 | As he said laughingly to a friend, at the end of the first season:"Good work, eh? |
33537 | Baby, are you hurt?" |
33537 | Bad? |
33537 | Between the acts he said to me:"Have you any opinion of_ Marie_, Miss er-- er?" |
33537 | But I only thought of that woman of the dim future, who was to conquer the public-- who was she? |
33537 | But another said, quietly:"Just get a glass of water for her, she has a touch of hysteria-- I wonder who caused it?" |
33537 | But did I not say they were love- birds? |
33537 | But if I had not"_ one_ two threed"in Cincinnati on that grinning old piano, where would the organ- scene have been? |
33537 | But 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? |
33537 | But what then was to be done for the benefit? |
33537 | But, Clara, you remember that time when money could have saved her? |
33537 | But, oh, what was it that he sang? |
33537 | But-- Mr. Daly? |
33537 | CHAPTER TWENTY- SEVENTH I play"Marie"to Oblige-- Mr. Barrett''s Remarkable Call-- Did I Receive a Message from the Dying or the Dead? |
33537 | Ca n''t you see?" |
33537 | Can I ever forget the thrill I felt when I received my first thousand dollars? |
33537 | Can you keep quiet about this part?" |
33537 | Cold, hard, dictatorial, superior? |
33537 | Could I? |
33537 | Could he be going to ask me to read the part over to him? |
33537 | Daly?" |
33537 | Daly?" |
33537 | Dear Mr. Daly do n''t you see, I should ruin the play?" |
33537 | Did he know then how near Death was to him? |
33537 | Did you never run? |
33537 | Do n''t you know Murdoch is a gentleman?" |
33537 | Do you forget that''twas I who turned the great sensation scene of a play into a side- splitting farce?" |
33537 | Do 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? |
33537 | Early during that first week my friend, John Norton, said to me:"Have you spoken to Mr. Daly about your salary yet?" |
33537 | Everything there pretended to be something else, and at last I said solemnly to Blanche:"Is everything only make- believe in a theatre?" |
33537 | Fisk?" |
33537 | Flowers? |
33537 | Good work, eh? |
33537 | Had I received any note, any message beforehand? |
33537 | Had she met with an accident? |
33537 | Had we any common acquaintance? |
33537 | Hattie opened the door, and then I heard her exclaiming:"Why-- why-- what?" |
33537 | Hattie stammered:"A man, he lied though, said that Wilkes Booth-- but he did lie-- didn''t he?" |
33537 | Have they blown you up for your didoes to- night? |
33537 | Have you been telling that to people?" |
33537 | Have you thought yet how to deliver it?" |
33537 | He added,"About your home, say?" |
33537 | He almost gasped the words:"What does this mean, sir?" |
33537 | He glared angrily at me, and began:"Since when have the ladies of the ballet taken to criticising the work of the stars?" |
33537 | He 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?" |
33537 | He laughed a little and nudged his Ellen, then went on:"I mean-- who are your people?" |
33537 | He laughed first, then pulled up sharply, saying:"Perhaps you did not notice that your comment contained a criticism of my judgment, Miss Morris? |
33537 | He laughed rather sheepishly, and said:"Well, you are not stupid, if you are innocent,"then asked:"Are you a stranger here?" |
33537 | He leaned forward, asking, eagerly:"Do you mean that?" |
33537 | He looked up quickly, for I stood all the time, and asked:"What''s that, do n''t speak to you? |
33537 | He make me to ask you right away, very quick, can you play that part of_ Anne_?" |
33537 | He neither bowed nor smiled, but crossly asked:"Is Miss Morris here?" |
33537 | He passed his long, thin fingers wearily across his closed eyes several times, then, as he opened them, he asked, sharply:"Can you obey orders?" |
33537 | He sank down, he wiped his brow, he looked almost stupidly at me, then, very faintly, he said:"You-- haven''t-- heard-- anything?" |
33537 | He smiled indulgently, and said:"It seems so funny-- does it? |
33537 | He 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?" |
33537 | He stopped, stepped in front of me and asked:"What do you most wish for?" |
33537 | He took my hand and asked:"Miss Morris, have you been putting these slights on me by order?" |
33537 | He used to hail me with:"Where''s my crummie girl? |
33537 | He 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? |
33537 | He was furious, he stamped his feet, he turned to the manager:"What''s all this infernal nonsense? |
33537 | He wasted no time over greetings or formalities, but curtly asked:"Can you play_ Anne Sylvester_?" |
33537 | Hot? |
33537 | How about Julia Dean, too? |
33537 | How shall I call that strange influence that dumbly tries to warn, to prepare? |
33537 | How the devil am I to compose that march they want with this room still as the dead? |
33537 | How, I wondered, could they do it? |
33537 | I almost ran in my anxiety to obey orders; my mind was in a state of happy confusion-- what could it all mean? |
33537 | I also apologized, and added:"If you please, sir, does this belong to you? |
33537 | I answered, interrogatively, feeling very hot and uncomfortable,"have I too much on?" |
33537 | I asked it:"Of what am I to die?" |
33537 | I 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?" |
33537 | I could never afford to waste all that time; but what could I do? |
33537 | I cried,"but you know how very forward_ Juliet_ is in speech? |
33537 | I cried,"do you mean fire?" |
33537 | I exclaimed,"please, do n''t you think that would be rather melodramatic? |
33537 | I had felt myself uncomfortable before, but now? |
33537 | I 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?" |
33537 | I interrupted,"you are going to cut something out?" |
33537 | I laughed aloud, Bertie barked excitedly, I faced about and went forward almost gayly to meet-- what? |
33537 | I look like a sprinter, do n''t I? |
33537 | I persisted;"what kills me? |
33537 | I question him,''Did you rehearse that business to- day, John?'' |
33537 | I remarked,_ sotto voce_:"Did you expect to find ink in him?" |
33537 | I 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? |
33537 | I see-- it''s that--''er--_Aline?__ Justine?_ No, no! |
33537 | I see-- it''s that--''er--_Aline?__ Justine?_ No, no! |
33537 | I suffered most when I had to play some lady of quality, for what, in heaven''s name, had I to dress a lady in? |
33537 | I suppose you were doing it to aggravate me, though?" |
33537 | I suppose, of course, so famous an actress as yourself can faint at command, if need be? |
33537 | I thought you''d want her spoken of most particularly?" |
33537 | I thought,"he is n''t going to do it all over again-- out here, is he?" |
33537 | I 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?" |
33537 | I was surprised, and rather quickly answered:"Well, have I treated him as if he were not a gentleman?" |
33537 | I wonder what the_ danseuse_ of to- day would think of the costume worn by her sister of the"sixties"? |
33537 | I wondered day and night, could I act well enough to please New York? |
33537 | I''m sorry you have to bear the brunt alone, but you will be brave, wo n''t you?" |
33537 | If I was original and strong in the West, why should I wait ten years before venturing into the East? |
33537 | If 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?" |
33537 | In a few moments the call- boy came back again:"Are you ready? |
33537 | In conversation with one of the ladies, I remarked:"As a Western woman, I suppose I have various expressions to unlearn?" |
33537 | In darkness or in light did it ever miss that exact spot? |
33537 | In referring to the article at the theatre one evening, he said, in reproachful tones:"Now was n''t that a truly stupid lie?" |
33537 | Interrupt me? |
33537 | Is not that wail chilling? |
33537 | It chilled me, all my high spirits flattened down suddenly; I turned, and said:"Did_ you_ see, mother?" |
33537 | It 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? |
33537 | It 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?" |
33537 | John, are you such a fool you do n''t understand her commercial value? |
33537 | Looking utterly bewildered, he exclaimed:"Why, for God''s sake, Effie, you are not going on for_ Desdemona_, are you?" |
33537 | Lovers? |
33537 | M._"What?" |
33537 | Miles, surprisedly, said:"Why, you have ridden with me twice this week without a sign of fear?" |
33537 | Miss 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?" |
33537 | More sharply, she asked:"Do you hear?--what are you going to do when the theatre closes?" |
33537 | Mother called out presently:"Do you know what time it is? |
33537 | Mr. Daly glanced up, and said, sharply:"What''s that? |
33537 | Mr. Daly''s fingers trembled like aspen leaves, his eyes dilated to perfect blackness, and almost he whispered the words:"Well, child-- well?" |
33537 | Mr. Ellsler finally burst open the door, and there stood_ Louis XI._ in his under- garments, and his clothing-- where? |
33537 | Mr. Navoni was clattering down- stairs and pounding on our door:"What does this mean? |
33537 | Mr. Palmer said:"Nonsense, Cazauran; purple is not appropriate;"and then,"How would blue-- dark blue or brown do?" |
33537 | Mrs. Ellsler, in answer to that rude question, laughed, and said:"Well, I believe the leading woman generally does play_ Desdemona_?" |
33537 | Mrs. Kean asked:"Were both of your parents actors, child?" |
33537 | My bird, what brings you here? |
33537 | My heart sank like lead-- was even the comedy part to be taken from me? |
33537 | My heart seemed to suffocate me-- I thought, stupidly,"Why do n''t I pray?" |
33537 | Next 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?" |
33537 | No further signal came, what should I do? |
33537 | No matter how small your charge, the question will be, where have you taught? |
33537 | Not hunger, not cold, but the very dust and ashes of life? |
33537 | Now how did I know you were crying?" |
33537 | Now what can_ Miss Multon_ die from? |
33537 | Now you and I will mind the P''s and Q''s of this great city, wo n''t we, my dear? |
33537 | Now you take some money-- you_ have_ some money saved, I suppose?" |
33537 | Now, are you going to tell the people all about when you received it?" |
33537 | Now, how are you going to say it?" |
33537 | Of what? |
33537 | Oh, Lord, who has a small grammar about them? |
33537 | Oh, could I? |
33537 | Oh, well might he ask"How now?" |
33537 | Oh, what has happened to them?" |
33537 | Oh, what shall I do?" |
33537 | On that first night he had said:"Good Lord, Will, what is that girl doing out here in the West? |
33537 | One day he said to me:"Say, you ai n''t cooking up a huge joke on these gas- balloons, are you, Clara? |
33537 | One 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?" |
33537 | Perhaps you have the advantage of them in being all- beautiful within?" |
33537 | Poor? |
33537 | Presently the"old- man"turned and, noticing my eagerness, laughingly said:"Well, what is it, Clara? |
33537 | Run? |
33537 | Salary? |
33537 | Seymour?" |
33537 | Shall I speak for you?" |
33537 | She keeps good time, eh, does n''t she? |
33537 | She looked up hastily:"Drink your coffee, and I''ll----""Is there?" |
33537 | She touched my forehead, asking,"Are you ill? |
33537 | Shook''s bass voice was heard for the first time, as he asked, conclusively:"Whom can we get for_ Armand_ on such short notice?" |
33537 | Should I do this, should I do that? |
33537 | Some women asked, anxiously:"Will that girl cry to- night, do you think?" |
33537 | Such notices as were given of the performance, and what was particularly dwelt upon, think you? |
33537 | Tell her it is urgent-- you understand? |
33537 | Tell me, little woman-- don''t be afraid-- have you been obeying an order?" |
33537 | That young girl, then, is my sister-- the sister whose happiness I have stolen? |
33537 | The ancient fancy- work, perhaps? |
33537 | The curtain fell, and-- why, what, in the name of heaven, was happening to me? |
33537 | The fan forgotten on the mantel- piece? |
33537 | The father said:"Who will trust so young a girl to instruct them? |
33537 | The friend said:"Why, I''m surprised-- I thought Miss Morris suffered from her spine?" |
33537 | The gentleman removed his hat, and coming to the centre of the room held out his hand, saying:"Miss Morris-- you_ are_ Miss Morris?" |
33537 | The little boots and slippers-- you remember Sallie''s instep? |
33537 | The star seemed particularly gentle-- he removed his coat leisurely and said:"You played_ Salanio_ last night?" |
33537 | Then Hank turned to me and asked, suspiciously:"Has he been filling you full of P''s and Q''s?" |
33537 | Then I cheerfully remarked:"I''m looking for Mr. Daly; can you tell me where I am likely to find him?" |
33537 | There was applause-- of course, was not Miss St. Clair there? |
33537 | There was no stove yet, they had not been burned; where then were they? |
33537 | They were:"Yes, as far as theft is concerned, they are safe enough, but in case of fire? |
33537 | This is the end of me, is n''t it? |
33537 | This one had already been refused, when Mr. Roberts suddenly exclaimed:"Who was it made those announcements last night? |
33537 | Two women came in, one said:"Why, what on earth''s the matter? |
33537 | Uncle Dick, behind me, said:"Would you like me to d----n poor Brad''s bones for you, Clara? |
33537 | Unspeakably 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?" |
33537 | Very doubtfully, I remarked:"I suppose a smelling- bottle would not be important enough to cross the room for?" |
33537 | Was I not grateful? |
33537 | Was I not happy? |
33537 | Was she ill? |
33537 | Well, Crummy, how are you?" |
33537 | Well, how long have you been at it, Ogden?" |
33537 | Well, now, who can deny that she did all these things? |
33537 | Well, will you let me give you a bit of advice, Ogden?" |
33537 | Well, will you show me the way to Dovey''s by eleven to- morrow?" |
33537 | Well, you do n''t find_ them_ made up, do you? |
33537 | Were they not gorgeous( a lady star had given them to her)? |
33537 | Were you not welcomed----"I broke his speech with laughter, but he would not smile:"Were you not properly treated? |
33537 | What could this mean? |
33537 | What could_ you_ do to make yourself cry seven times a week, for nine or ten months a year? |
33537 | What do you do at the fall of the curtain?" |
33537 | What does it mean? |
33537 | What had he said to me-- word for word, what had he said? |
33537 | What in---- are you scratching her back for?" |
33537 | What need you care, you pleased the audience?" |
33537 | What should_ you_ think about it, girls?" |
33537 | What was it that was trying dumbly to warn her? |
33537 | What was the matter with me, if you please, mum?" |
33537 | What wife? |
33537 | What will Mr. Booth think has become of me, and what, in heaven''s name, do you think of me?" |
33537 | What''s on to- morrow night? |
33537 | What-- is-- there-- left-- for-- me to live for?" |
33537 | What-- what do you call it_ sheol_? |
33537 | What? |
33537 | When anyone praised some wife, he would look up and say:"Wife-- whose wife? |
33537 | When can Lucy get here?" |
33537 | When it strikes does not the rocker always find your ankle- joint? |
33537 | When my husband mournfully asked if"There was not even one hot biscuit to be had?" |
33537 | Where did the money come from that paid for such finery?" |
33537 | Where, I thought, was the manager all this time? |
33537 | Who on earth is she, anyway?" |
33537 | Who shall draw a line and say: here genius ends and madness begins? |
33537 | Who was lacking in courtesy?" |
33537 | Who was the woman who inspired great Shakespeare''s one unnatural scene? |
33537 | Why else did the people pack her houses season after season? |
33537 | Why not let me have all the help my gown can give me? |
33537 | Why, it''s just a little toy play- house-- is it not?" |
33537 | Why, what''s the matter with you? |
33537 | Will you come and be a regular member of the company for the season that begins in September next?" |
33537 | Will you help me?" |
33537 | Will you study Greek or the Rogue''s Vocabulary? |
33537 | With a regretful sigh he went on:"I suppose you know you are a strong attraction?" |
33537 | With trembling hands I clutched my tarlatan skirts and peering down at my tights, I groaned:"Are they twisted, or run down, or what?" |
33537 | With 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?" |
33537 | Would he write to one or two managers for me, or give me a line of introduction to them? |
33537 | Would she do for a model? |
33537 | Would the other two be as effective? |
33537 | Yes, I know you do n''t need it-- but you''re in love, do n''t you see? |
33537 | You do n''t expect to shed real tears, do you?" |
33537 | You do n''t look for brains in a man''s legs, do you? |
33537 | You doubt that? |
33537 | You know those confounded crooked ones, with three infernal crinkles in the middle to keep them from falling out of the hair? |
33537 | You said:''What''s the matter-- are you nervous?'' |
33537 | You 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?" |
33537 | You speak of the matter, and your family exclaim:"What on earth ever brought him to your mind?" |
33537 | You think I exaggerate the matter? |
33537 | You took my hand and, stroking it, gently said,''Is n''t it awful?'' |
33537 | You want me to go on for that? |
33537 | _ Claudine?_ that''s the name of the maid. |
33537 | _ now_ what? |
33537 | a farce yet? |
33537 | afraid to disturb me? |
33537 | and I cried out, aghast:"Purple? |
33537 | and the Asylum needs help so badly!--''er-- a''frenzy''you said, my son? |
33537 | and the pretty warming of one foot? |
33537 | bless my soul, what''s the matter? |
33537 | could such things happen to a star? |
33537 | cried_ Romeo_:"How now, Balthazar?" |
33537 | did I not hold a membership in the library, and were we not both lightning- quick readers? |
33537 | did you see that ascent of stool, chair, and table? |
33537 | do n''t you see that-- that air was his message to you? |
33537 | do n''t you see your words contradict each other?" |
33537 | eh? |
33537 | he answered,"you saw that, did you? |
33537 | he 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?'' |
33537 | he asked, with wide- open, wondering eyes,"you will go back to who?" |
33537 | he cried;"where are your splendid spirits? |
33537 | he exclaimed,"Cushman not play_ Lady Macbeth_--for heaven''s sake, why not?" |
33537 | he said,"will you do as I tell you?" |
33537 | how? |
33537 | must it be like that?" |
33537 | next turned on his heel, and called:"Everybody ready for the first act? |
33537 | said I to myself,"what are they gazing at-- they look fairly frightened?" |
33537 | said 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? |
33537 | say, answer up, now, before it gets hold of you-- what''s your name?" |
33537 | she asked, and I answered with another question:"Mary, were you ever in a great fire?" |
33537 | she cried,"did n''t you see her flaunting herself around the stage last night in silks and laces no honest girl could own? |
33537 | the color of royalty, of pomp, of power? |
33537 | the reins were in the hands of the public, and it would drive me-- where? |
33537 | then, delightedly:"Yes-- yes, you''re quite right, it_ is_ a neat thing-- cut full at the knee, eh? |
33537 | this-- this is not nervousness, is it?" |
33537 | was I to lose my treat, just for lack of a little legal knowledge? |
33537 | well, what of it? |
33537 | what are you thinking of? |
33537 | what did you do it for? |
33537 | what was it?" |
33537 | what''s your name? |
33537 | who cared whether they were becoming or not? |
33537 | who ever saw, who would have wished to see"rare old Bill"in a good humor? |
33537 | whose future I have shattered? |
33537 | why do ye no pull down yer kilties, instead o''kickin''there? |
33537 | why venture into New York, where you may fail? |
33537 | why_ do n''t_ I die?" |
33537 | with a circle of grinning, sardonic faces, ready to be vastly amused over my efforts? |
33537 | would 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? |
33537 | yer no decent-- do you ken?" |
33537 | you all know whom I mean-- the-- the actor with the_ hungry eyes_?" |
33537 | you do n''t mean_ my_ theatre, do you?" |
33537 | you have been absent and heavy all morning-- what''s the matter?" |
33537 | you,_ you_ have to go on in a farce after playing Shakespeare''s_ Emilia_ with E. L. Davenport? |
7508 | Mr. 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? |
7508 | A drunken chorus lady; trying to get her home? |
7508 | A good makeup, is n''t it? |
7508 | After a long silence Kate said:''I''ve been very ill, have n''t I? |
7508 | After the usual salutations--''How do you do, old boy? |
7508 | All he could say was,''Oh, my darling, I''m so sorry; you will forgive me, wo n''t you?'' |
7508 | And I suppose you walk up Piccadilly with him after the play?'' |
7508 | And Ralph? |
7508 | And by whose order was a human creature tortured thus cruelly?'' |
7508 | And how have you been?'' |
7508 | And what can you do? |
7508 | And will he take us to see the play?'' |
7508 | And will you come back and lodge here?'' |
7508 | And, remembering their little dispute, Kate said:''Well, dears, is it a robber or a sweetheart?'' |
7508 | Anyhow, it does n''t matter now, does it, doctor? |
7508 | Are n''t you thirsty?'' |
7508 | Are n''t you well? |
7508 | Are n''t you well?'' |
7508 | Are they going to go away?'' |
7508 | Are you all right?'' |
7508 | Are you coming my way?'' |
7508 | Are you game, Mortimer? |
7508 | Are you going to buy the paper- cutter?'' |
7508 | As she entered the shop Mrs. Ede, who was in the front kitchen, cried,''Well, is that you, Kate? |
7508 | As 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? |
7508 | At 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?'' |
7508 | At last he said:''But where have you been all the day? |
7508 | At last he said:''I like these apartments very well; and you say that I can have breakfast here?'' |
7508 | At last he said:''Where are you going?'' |
7508 | At last she said:''Will you take me to church to- day?'' |
7508 | At 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?'' |
7508 | Besides, had he not told her that he was going to be out all day? |
7508 | Besides, what could he do? |
7508 | Besides, what harm? |
7508 | Brown?'' |
7508 | But I do n''t know how I can talk to you like this, for how can you respect me? |
7508 | But 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?'' |
7508 | But do tell me, Kate, what is the matter? |
7508 | But do tell me, Mrs. Ede-- is he the one in the cocked hat?'' |
7508 | But do you love me? |
7508 | But how do you get on with Miss Hender?'' |
7508 | But how long shall we have to wait? |
7508 | But if she is a nun, why is n''t she in a habit? |
7508 | But is this altogether sure?'' |
7508 | But tell me, is there anyone listening?'' |
7508 | But tell me, what were they doing downstairs? |
7508 | But tell me-- you will, wo n''t you? |
7508 | But 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? |
7508 | But the only answer they received was,''Now what does it matter who Mr. Simpson is? |
7508 | But the question: what has become of Dick? |
7508 | But this patchwork quilt is yours, I suppose?'' |
7508 | But what are we to do? |
7508 | But what compartment shall we take? |
7508 | But what could be said against him for requesting the removal of a drunken man? |
7508 | But what matter the food? |
7508 | But what shall she say after?'' |
7508 | But what''s the matter, Kate? |
7508 | But which of the three illustrious composers, Hervà ©, Offenbach and Lecocq, should he choose to write the music? |
7508 | But which way are you going?'' |
7508 | But wo n''t you kiss me before I go?'' |
7508 | But wo n''t you sing something, Mrs. Ede? |
7508 | But would Dick produce a new piece? |
7508 | But you''ll be able to manage the song, wo n''t you? |
7508 | But, interrupting herself suddenly, she cried:''Dick, who has been scratching you? |
7508 | By Witt or by MacColl, excellent writers both? |
7508 | Ca n''t you see that I''m only very hot?'' |
7508 | Can I get you anything?'' |
7508 | Can you think of anything, dear? |
7508 | Can you-- will you-- my own darling Dick, give me another trial?'' |
7508 | Chappel, will you be good enough to play the"Just put this in your pocket"chorus over again?'' |
7508 | Clarke, has my husband come in?'' |
7508 | Cold beef, chicken and ham, or a little soup?'' |
7508 | Could n''t you ask someone to go for you?'' |
7508 | Could they do nothing without him? |
7508 | Could you fetch him? |
7508 | Cox?'' |
7508 | Dick is very good to me; but if I tell you something you promise not to mention it?'' |
7508 | Dick, Dick, are you going to leave me?'' |
7508 | Did I speak crossly? |
7508 | Did he count for nobody? |
7508 | Did he intend to insult her-- was that it? |
7508 | Did he only keep her to work for him? |
7508 | Did he say that?'' |
7508 | Did n''t I, Miss Hender?'' |
7508 | Did n''t you see Bret passing? |
7508 | Did she tell you of it?'' |
7508 | Did their thoughts never wander from their work? |
7508 | Did they fancy that it was nothing to him if his wife and child were dead or alive? |
7508 | Did they see you?'' |
7508 | Did this man never wish to go to bed? |
7508 | Did you ever hear of such a thing? |
7508 | Did you fix a day?'' |
7508 | Do n''t you know that?'' |
7508 | Do n''t you remember, Dick, the first night I played Florette in_ The Brigands_? |
7508 | Do n''t you think so, sir?'' |
7508 | Do n''t you think so?'' |
7508 | Do n''t you think you''ll be able to hold out till then?'' |
7508 | Do n''t you wish he''d get ill again? |
7508 | Do tell me the real truth; do you think I shall ever be able to sing?'' |
7508 | Do they abuse me very much?'' |
7508 | Do you approve of my manner of writing the hexameters?'' |
7508 | Do you deal with them?'' |
7508 | Do you happen to have any in the house?'' |
7508 | Do you love him so much?'' |
7508 | Do you see anything you like here?'' |
7508 | Do you see?'' |
7508 | Do you suppose I want to hear about that woman?'' |
7508 | Do you suppose it is to talk to you that I came here? |
7508 | Do you take me for a fool? |
7508 | Do you think you could manage with that?'' |
7508 | Do you think you would have liked me to have kissed you?'' |
7508 | Do you want another? |
7508 | Does he get tired easily? |
7508 | Does he like change?'' |
7508 | Does n''t he treat you well?'' |
7508 | Drawing the letter from her pocket, she said to the hall- keeper:''Will you kindly give Mr. Lennox this letter? |
7508 | For you are my friend, are n''t you?'' |
7508 | For you know what a position I am in: if Dick were to desert me to- morrow what should I do?'' |
7508 | Had I better send her to the hospital?'' |
7508 | Had n''t we better put it off until morning?'' |
7508 | Had not the doctor told her she required a little stimulant? |
7508 | Had she not earned it, and was he going to rob her of it? |
7508 | Had the place taken fire? |
7508 | Has anything fresh happened? |
7508 | Has he arrived yet?'' |
7508 | Have n''t I told you twenty times that there''s nothing between me and Miss Vane? |
7508 | Have things gone pretty well with you?'' |
7508 | Have you ever heard how he fancied the waiter was calling him in the morning when the policeman was hauling him off to the station?'' |
7508 | Have you ever heard the waltz?'' |
7508 | Have you got any cigarettes?'' |
7508 | Have you got the ether?'' |
7508 | Have you had any bad news?'' |
7508 | Have you seen the piece? |
7508 | Have you welcomed in another Charms you missed in me, and grace? |
7508 | Have you, Vincent?'' |
7508 | He asked if she suffered from a sense of uncomfortable tension, fullness, weight, especially after meals; if she felt any pain in her right shoulder? |
7508 | He said:''You did n''t know Dick before he came to lodge in your house at Hanley, did you?'' |
7508 | How are we to live if you come between me and my business?'' |
7508 | How are we to reduce expenses except by cutting down the salaries?'' |
7508 | How are you to meet me at the station?'' |
7508 | How can you talk like that? |
7508 | How can you think that I would have my husband ill so that I might go to the theatre with Mr. Lennox? |
7508 | How can-- you-- talk to me like that? |
7508 | How could he define what were and what were not proper conversations for the dressing- rooms? |
7508 | How could she expect him to think of her when he was thinking of his breath? |
7508 | How could this be? |
7508 | How did all this come about?'' |
7508 | How did your face get torn like that-- who''s been scratching you?'' |
7508 | How do you think she''ll do in the part?'' |
7508 | How far are the nearest?'' |
7508 | How long would she remain on the doorstep? |
7508 | How''s business?'' |
7508 | How''s that? |
7508 | I beg of--''''Oh, you wo n''t, wo n''t you? |
7508 | I believe you''re going to nurse Mrs. Lennox through this illness?'' |
7508 | I ca n''t put it plainer than that, can I?'' |
7508 | I dare say it''s very amusing; but if you''d try to combine business with pleasure--- Now, who did I put in section one?'' |
7508 | I 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?'' |
7508 | I do n''t think you''d tell me a lie; it would be too cruel, would n''t it? |
7508 | I helped you famously, did n''t I, Miss Hender?'' |
7508 | I hope my poem touched a chord in your heart? |
7508 | I knew her when she was so high, and it was I who gave her her first part, was n''t it, Lucy?'' |
7508 | I must get well; but tell me, doctor, how long will that take?'' |
7508 | I suppose the two little girls are here?'' |
7508 | I 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?'' |
7508 | I told you so, did n''t I?'' |
7508 | I want you to tell me how the pain in your side is?'' |
7508 | I was only going to take a little milk, I suppose there''s no harm in that?'' |
7508 | I wrote for them,''she replied, hesitating;''but do n''t you think--?'' |
7508 | I''ll go with you now, Mrs. Rawson, and you''ll perhaps come to- morrow, Dick, to see her?'' |
7508 | I''ll take off these things and we''ll go for a walk through the town-- will that do? |
7508 | I''m afraid you wo n''t be able to eat it?'' |
7508 | If I did n''t love you, could I kiss you as I do?'' |
7508 | If it were wrong do you think I''d bring you in here? |
7508 | If she had n''t why did she think of Villiers Street? |
7508 | If you wanted to desert me, why did you ever take me away from Hanley? |
7508 | In the newspapers that quoted from the original document? |
7508 | Is he here?'' |
7508 | Is it contagious? |
7508 | Is 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?'' |
7508 | Is n''t Annie going to marry the man who''s lost his wig?'' |
7508 | Is n''t he going to act it himself? |
7508 | Is n''t it odd? |
7508 | Is n''t it so, Mrs. Ede? |
7508 | Is n''t what I say true? |
7508 | Is the--?'' |
7508 | Is there no one here to save me?'' |
7508 | It was n''t a nice part, was it?'' |
7508 | It was n''t an undergra--?'' |
7508 | It 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? |
7508 | It would be dreadful to act so soon after my poor baby''s death, would n''t it?'' |
7508 | It''s sad to lose her, is n''t it? |
7508 | Kate was asking herself the same question-- what was to become of her? |
7508 | Kate, dear, what is the matter? |
7508 | Lennox?'' |
7508 | Let him take you away from me? |
7508 | Let me finish it for you--''that outweighs all other qualities''But does it? |
7508 | Let me go, will you?'' |
7508 | Let me see, whom could we get to play in it?'' |
7508 | Lodgers often make love to their landladies; what would she do if Mr. Lennox made love to her? |
7508 | May I suggest an emendation that will render the recitation more easy and more effective?'' |
7508 | Montgomery, will you oblige me by playing over that sailor- chorus?'' |
7508 | Montgomery?'' |
7508 | Mr. Lennox said he''d meet us here, did n''t he?'' |
7508 | New member of the com- company, eh?'' |
7508 | Not that little thing with fair hair who sings in the chorus?'' |
7508 | Now then, girls, are you ready?'' |
7508 | Now, Miss Leslie, ca n''t you wait until this rehearsal is over?'' |
7508 | Of course, I ca n''t judge at present what your complexion is; but have you noticed any yellowness about the skin lately?'' |
7508 | Of what could she be thinking? |
7508 | Oh, Dick, what shall I do?'' |
7508 | Oh, what will become of me? |
7508 | On 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?'' |
7508 | Or in absence are you true? |
7508 | Perhaps he''s the man in white who is being dragged away from his bride? |
7508 | Poor man, why should n''t he have a few friends up in the evening? |
7508 | Ralph 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?'' |
7508 | Saturday? |
7508 | Shall I do you a book entitled_ Lovers in Lent_, or_ A Lover''s Lent_? |
7508 | Shall I get you a glass of water?'' |
7508 | She asked herself passionately if she was always going to remain a slave and a drudge? |
7508 | She had been drunk, she knew that, but where was Dick? |
7508 | She passed away from him and entered her husband''s room, and Ralph said:''Well, who was it?'' |
7508 | She said:''Do you think it''s anything very dangerous? |
7508 | Should he, or should he not, knock at the door? |
7508 | Simpson? |
7508 | So many poor girls are in trouble; how many in the crowd passing before her door? |
7508 | Stopping long here?'' |
7508 | Suddenly a voice cried in a high key:''Who do you take me for, Dick? |
7508 | Supposing my husband was to come in now and find us here?'' |
7508 | The giant snoring, and her baby stirring in her cradle with the limelight upon her, or was she dreaming? |
7508 | The servant brought up two glasses of grog, and when Kate had taken off her bonnet, she said:''Do you think I''m much altered?'' |
7508 | Then, what time is it?'' |
7508 | They 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? |
7508 | They would work for their child; a boy or girl, which? |
7508 | This was difficult to do, but, after a slight hesitation, she said:''Then you really do believe that Miss Leslie and Mr. Bret are lovers?'' |
7508 | Tuck into this plate of chicken; will you have a bit of tongue with it?'' |
7508 | Was Dick going to desert her? |
7508 | Was I very violent? |
7508 | Was it Ralph coming down the staircase? |
7508 | Was it a distant country? |
7508 | Was it a scene of revelry? |
7508 | Was it not he who drove her to it? |
7508 | Was it not her own money? |
7508 | Was it possible that he was culpable? |
7508 | Was it possible, he asked himself, that she would never love him again? |
7508 | Was n''t I in a fright? |
7508 | Was n''t I your husband once?'' |
7508 | Was she never going to do anything else but work? |
7508 | Was that the way he cut his legs? |
7508 | Was there a chance of their doing a bit of business in the town? |
7508 | We have some very nice ones at two pounds ten; but perhaps you would not like to give so much?'' |
7508 | We''re just like strangers, so many things have occurred; I''ve married since-- but perhaps you did n''t hear of it?'' |
7508 | Well, then, we ca n''t have anyone better-- and what shall we take out?'' |
7508 | Were it not for you, do you think I should be drinking? |
7508 | Were there any ladies there? |
7508 | Were there bills up in all the public- houses? |
7508 | Were they likely to do good business? |
7508 | Were they or were they not going to accept half salaries? |
7508 | Were you down at the bank cashing a cheque?'' |
7508 | What are you doing in London?'' |
7508 | What broader road could a woman hope to walk in than the one that lay before her in all its clear and bland serenity? |
7508 | What can I do for you, dear?'' |
7508 | What can he be arranging?'' |
7508 | What could he do? |
7508 | What could it mean? |
7508 | What did he think? |
7508 | What did it matter to her? |
7508 | What did it matter whether Dick saw it or not? |
7508 | What did she care for these actresses? |
7508 | What did they want with him? |
7508 | What do they say about me? |
7508 | What do you fancy there is between us that makes you say such a thing as that?'' |
7508 | What do you mean? |
7508 | What do you mean?'' |
7508 | What do you say to that?'' |
7508 | What do you say to two- ten?'' |
7508 | What do you say to_ The Happy Pair_?'' |
7508 | What do you think, Leslie?'' |
7508 | What do you think, Montgomery? |
7508 | What do you think?'' |
7508 | What does he know? |
7508 | What does it matter to you if I excite myself or not?'' |
7508 | What explanation would be given to them? |
7508 | What had he been doing all this while? |
7508 | What had she said to him? |
7508 | What has happened?'' |
7508 | What have I done to offend you? |
7508 | What have you got to say, my hero, to me about my rendering of these lines? |
7508 | What lunch? |
7508 | What more could she desire? |
7508 | What pleasure could it be to her to see her lover, looking hideous, drag a bride away from her intended? |
7508 | What right have I? |
7508 | What shall I do? |
7508 | What shall I say to him?'' |
7508 | What shall it be?'' |
7508 | What such as I in glory Compared with such as thee? |
7508 | What then?'' |
7508 | What time is it now?'' |
7508 | What was it to her what they said or what they thought of her? |
7508 | What was to be done? |
7508 | What was to be done? |
7508 | What would n''t you give to be straying about in those fresh woods far away?'' |
7508 | What''s the matter, dear?'' |
7508 | What''s the name of the hotel you were speaking of, Williams?'' |
7508 | What''s the screw?'' |
7508 | When he had mastered the contents a good- natured smile illumined his chub- cheeked face, and he said:''Well, what do you want to say? |
7508 | Where are you staying?'' |
7508 | Where could she get them? |
7508 | Where had he been? |
7508 | Where had he gone? |
7508 | Where have you been hiding yourself?'' |
7508 | Where have you been? |
7508 | Where is it?'' |
7508 | Where shall I get in?'' |
7508 | Where was he now, she''d like to know? |
7508 | Where were they now? |
7508 | Where''s Montgomery? |
7508 | Where''s that damned property- master?'' |
7508 | Where, then? |
7508 | Which is the way?'' |
7508 | Which was she to believe? |
7508 | White,''she said,''might I ask you to get me a jug of hot water?'' |
7508 | Who can say he has not lived before, and is it not as important to believe we lived herebefore as it is to believe we are going to live hereafter? |
7508 | Who did you marry?'' |
7508 | Who has any liquor? |
7508 | Who''s in love with the Countess?'' |
7508 | Why after all should n''t she marry Dick? |
7508 | Why did he want to be always running after a lot of other women? |
7508 | Why did n''t she take the rooms?'' |
7508 | Why did n''t she tell me that before? |
7508 | Why did n''t you come down to the theatre?'' |
7508 | Why did you ever have anything to do with me? |
7508 | Why do n''t you bring home the printed score?'' |
7508 | Why do you hesitate?'' |
7508 | Why had he done this thing? |
7508 | Why had n''t she asked for this reparation before? |
7508 | Why not go for a walk with Montgomery?'' |
7508 | Why should Dick desert you? |
7508 | Why should I be angry?'' |
7508 | Why should I? |
7508 | Why should n''t I spend the Sunday in Leamington and go to church? |
7508 | Why should n''t I? |
7508 | Why should n''t you stay if it pleases you, dear? |
7508 | Why should she not go and fetch it, and insult him with the confession of her sin? |
7508 | Why was n''t he faithful to her who had given up everything for him? |
7508 | Why was she not rehearsing there with them? |
7508 | Will you come near the fire?'' |
7508 | Will you do this thing for me?'' |
7508 | Will you let me feel your pulse?'' |
7508 | Will you let me feel?'' |
7508 | Will you let me have your room?'' |
7508 | Will you let me see them?'' |
7508 | Will you never care again for any of these fine ladies?'' |
7508 | Will you promise to come?'' |
7508 | Will you take my card?'' |
7508 | Wo n''t you come with me?'' |
7508 | Wood?'' |
7508 | Would he appear as a king, a monk, a shepherd, or would he wear a cocked hat? |
7508 | Would her cold get worse or better? |
7508 | Would it be possible for her to find work to do that would keep her mind away from the drink? |
7508 | Would it not give them courage to work? |
7508 | Would it not give them strength to live? |
7508 | Would she never find happiness, then, in this world? |
7508 | Would she never grow tired and sit down? |
7508 | Would they learn to hate her? |
7508 | Would you like an omelette?'' |
7508 | Would you like to be in my arms?'' |
7508 | Would you like to come to- night?'' |
7508 | Would you like to go in front?'' |
7508 | Written out by whom? |
7508 | X''Is this the stage entrance?'' |
7508 | XIX''Well, what are you going to give her? |
7508 | XXVII''Oh, Dick, dear, what did I do yesterday? |
