584 | But I want to know what is going to be done with her about getting pious? |

584 | Come, tell me, who is''t? |
584 | Did God make you? |

584 | Thought you were getting handsome, did she? 584 Was her FATHER rich?" |
584 | Well, aunt, what can I do? 584 What are our joys but dreams? |
584 | What can she do to help you? |
584 | What experience? |
584 | What is to be done with her,asked Mrs. B.,"after she is moved there with Nab?" |
584 | What was Mary''s story? |
584 | What were you saying? |
584 | What will you do? |
584 | What would become of her? 584 What would mother say?" |
584 | What''s the fuss? |
584 | What''s the fuss? |
584 | When? |
584 | Where are your curls, Fra? |
584 | Where could she sleep? |
584 | Where''s Frado? |
584 | Who made Aunt Abby? |
584 | Who made your mother? |
584 | Who''ll take the black devils? |
584 | Who? |
584 | Who? |
584 | Why do you have it so, John? |
584 | Why not? |
584 | Why, you know she is serious, do n''t you? 584 Would n''t the Bellmonts take her?" |
584 | Yes, but who ever thought of having a nigger go, except to drive others there? 584 And I feel sick; who cares for that? 584 As she took her accustomed seat, he asked,Are you afraid to stay with me alone, Frado?" |
584 | At dark Jack came in, and seeing Mary, accosted her with,"So you thought you''d vent your spite on Nig, did you? |
584 | But had she not better run away? |
584 | But he had told them to repent;"what was that?" |
584 | But where? |
584 | Do YOU know where she is? |
584 | Do n''t you know that every night she will want to go toting off to meeting? |
584 | Do you ask the destiny of those connected with her EARLY history? |
584 | Flushed with anger, she rose and greeted her with,"What are you gone so long for? |
584 | Frado pondered; her mistress was a professor of religion; was SHE going to heaven? |
584 | Had you rather spare the other one?" |
584 | Have I not testimonials plain, Of thy unchanging truth? |
584 | He took her hand and said:"We''re going to move, by-''m- bye; will you go?" |
584 | Her doubt was, IS there a heaven for the black? |
584 | Herself was burden enough; who would have an additional one? |
584 | His mother was a stranger to her, of course, and had perfect right to interrogate:"Is she good looking, Jack?" |
584 | How could she meet this case? |
584 | I heard,''why was I made? |
584 | Is she YOUR prisoner?" |
584 | Mag raised her eyes, full of amazement, and uttered a sonorous"What?" |
584 | Nig looked for a change in her tyrant; what could subdue her, if the loss of her idol could not? |
584 | Oh, what have I to live for? |
584 | Same old story, is it; knocks and bumps? |
584 | She asked her if James did not wish her to come and see him; what could it mean? |
584 | She knew there was one for James, and Aunt Abby, and all good white people; but was there any for blacks? |
584 | Should she"want to go there if she could not see him?" |
584 | The neighbors dropped in to inquire after the sick, and also if Frado was"SERIOUS?" |
584 | The next time she went to the sitting- room she asked her mother,--"Why does not Aunt Abby visit James as she has done? |
584 | Turning to her husband, she asked,"Will you sit still, there, and hear that black nigger call Mary a liar?" |
584 | Was it strange SHE should seem a desirable companion, a treasure as a wife? |
584 | Was it strange if she were officious, with such relief in prospect? |
584 | Was it strange that, to a disconsolate child, three years should seem a long, long time? |
584 | What can the child mean? |
584 | What could mother mean?" |
584 | What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits?" |
584 | What though thy wounded bosom bleed, Pierced by affliction''s dart; Do I not all thy sorrows heed, And bear thee on my heart? |
584 | Where IS Frado?" |
584 | Where is she?" |
584 | Where? |
584 | Which is most likely to be true, what a dozen agree they saw, or the contrary?" |
584 | Which you rather have, a black heart in a white skin, or a white heart in a black one?" |
584 | Who made me so?" |
584 | Who would take her? |
584 | Why ca n''t you let her alone? |
584 | Why could n''t you try to do better, and not disgrace your parents?" |
584 | Why did n''t he make us BOTH white?" |
584 | Would you answer the letter, or not?" |
584 | You would have that little nigger trample on Mary, would you? |
584 | and Sundays, too? |
584 | and if--""Had n''t they better be all together?" |
584 | and what our hopes But goodly shadows in the summer cloud?" |
584 | do you hear it?" |
584 | do you think he is in his right mind?" |
584 | is this the way you answer me?" |
584 | long for? |
584 | said Pete;"Mag Smith, you want to marry?" |
584 | what do you want to bring such a poor being into the family, for? |
584 | why ca n''t I die? |
35045 | ''Oh,''said she,''has the train gone?'' 35045 A letter for me?" |
35045 | A letter, Flora? |
35045 | Are the major and Mrs. Benson going to live with you? |
35045 | Are you going back? |
35045 | Are you? 35045 Are you?" |
35045 | But how can I? |
35045 | But what am I to do with the potato? |
35045 | But what else was there for me to do? 35045 But what have you put it in there for?" |
35045 | But, how do you know all that? |
35045 | Can I get you anything, aunt? |
35045 | Can you not guess? |
35045 | Did ever returned prodigal receive a more hearty welcome than I? |
35045 | Did n''t you, Hal? |
35045 | Do you mean the wedding? |
35045 | Do you mean to come here to live? |
35045 | Do you really think so? |
35045 | Do? |
35045 | Does he come here often? |
35045 | Father? 35045 Flora, will you lend me that paper?" |
35045 | Have I been false to my trust? |
35045 | How about Lottie''s father? |
35045 | How about Lottie? |
35045 | How are you to help me, if I do n''t tell you just what I think and feel? |
35045 | How could that be? |
35045 | How did you know? |
35045 | How did you know? |
35045 | How would you have had things, if you could have had your way? |
35045 | I can not leave my stall-- who would wait on my customers? |
35045 | I suppose you were pretty angry with me, when you went? |
35045 | I was right, was I not, Harry? |
35045 | In Brinton, perhaps? |
35045 | In the first place, Aunt Emmeline,said Joel, calmly,"I suppose you know me?" |
35045 | Is Ruth your daughter? |
35045 | Is it possible that you have left your poor, sick aunt all alone? |
35045 | Is it? 35045 Is my sister here?" |
35045 | Is that so? 35045 Is that so? |
35045 | It seems so strange that both your brother and mine should be returned runaways, does n''t it, Flora? |
35045 | It''s well that it is agreeable to all; but suppose it was n''t? 35045 Jem? |
35045 | Live here? 35045 Lottie Piper, is this you?" |
35045 | May I draw up the shades, Aunt Sarah? |
35045 | Maybe to see your old friend? |
35045 | Me? 35045 Never?" |
35045 | No,said Flora,"I did not, nor did I know you were so ill. And now tell me, can I do anything to render you more comfortable?" |
35045 | Nothing? 35045 Now, Jem,"went on Flora, argumentatively,"suppose we did have all the fine things you named, how much happier would that make us all?" |
35045 | Now, Major Joe,she exclaimed, softly, for fear of disturbing the sick man,"whom does this little sobersides remind you of?" |
35045 | Oh, Flora, are you sure? 35045 Oh, I guess I had better go and see her; had n''t I?" |
35045 | Oh, Joel, what made you so? |
35045 | Oh, Lottie, how could you? |
35045 | Oh, Lottie, who is it? 35045 Oh, but_ have_ you tried yet?" |
35045 | Oh, do you mean Joel Piper? |
35045 | Oh, you could n''t? |
35045 | Oh,commented Flora to herself,"why_ should_ he talk so straight at me? |
35045 | One class is in need of a teacher,he said;"will you not take it? |
35045 | Really? 35045 Ruth, you''re not going to leave me, are you?" |
35045 | Shall I tell you? |
35045 | Shall we go, mother? |
35045 | So I am a girl,answered Jem, indignantly;"do n''t you see I''ve gut a napron on wif pockets in?" |
35045 | Sorry for me? 35045 Steal?" |
35045 | Surely you''re not afraid to trust us, are you? |
35045 | The doctor does not think he will die, does he? |
35045 | The old proverb,''a friend in need is a friend indeed,''is true, is n''t it? |
35045 | To me? |
35045 | To you? 35045 Truly,"she thought,"that peace has entered my soul, and how can I have aught but''good will to men''?" |
35045 | Try to go to sleep now, wo n''t you? |
35045 | Was n''t he always that? |
35045 | Was n''t, or is n''t, your grandfather named Joseph Benson? |
35045 | Well, Flora dear; what will you do about it? |
35045 | Well, Jemima, what do you want in here? |
35045 | Well, and who are you? 35045 Well, friend, how goes the world with you?" |
35045 | What a cute little girl Jem is,said Flora to Ruth;"is she your sister?" |
35045 | What about? 35045 What are they?" |
35045 | What are you going to do? |
35045 | What can_ you_ do? |
35045 | What do you intend to do? 35045 What do you want to ride to Major Joe''s for?" |
35045 | What does the dear boy say-- anything of importance? |
35045 | What has all this to do with me? |
35045 | What have I been thinking about not to have been doing this before? 35045 What have you done, Aunt Sarah?" |
35045 | What is it you mean, my boy? |
35045 | What is it? |
35045 | What is that in the jar? |
35045 | What is your name? |
35045 | What is yours? |
35045 | What of it? |
35045 | What on earth do you want with a whole house? |
35045 | What was your mother''s name? |
35045 | What would you say if I told you we had found somebody who belongs to you? |
35045 | What? 35045 What? |
35045 | What? |
35045 | What? |
35045 | Where did you come from? 35045 Where is father, Lottie?" |
35045 | Where is my father? |
35045 | Who can it be? |
35045 | Who is she? 35045 Who is this?" |
35045 | Who is writing to you, dear? |
35045 | Who keeps house for you? |
35045 | Who told you I had a mother? |
35045 | Why do n''t you come in and shut the door? |
35045 | Why do you want to know? |
35045 | Why not, may I ask? |
35045 | Why? 35045 Will it grow?" |
35045 | Will you not tell me what you are reading? |
35045 | Would you like to see him again? |
35045 | Would you not like to come with us to church, this morning? |
35045 | Yes, Joseph Major Benson; but how did you know? |
35045 | Yes, but what was her last name? |
35045 | You do? 35045 You do? |
35045 | You mean a''begonia,''do n''t you, Jem? |
35045 | ''I''m sorry,''said I,''but who is your friend?'' |
35045 | ''That''s my sister,''said I;''do you know her?'' |
35045 | And Flora? |
35045 | And suppose your mother is not here, do n''t you think she knows all about it? |
35045 | And what had become of Harry Hazeley in all this time? |
35045 | Are you both ready? |
35045 | Are you going to live here all alone?" |
35045 | Are you sure? |
35045 | At length, as they took no notice of her, she determined to assert herself; so, going up to Flora, she demanded:"What do you think of_ my_ yard?" |
35045 | Aunt Bertha was her confidante for all her plans, or rather, dreams; she could do nothing without Aunt Bertha, for had not she the means? |
35045 | But Joel seemed to understand all about the matter, and began right away:"You''ve had a rough time, eh? |
35045 | But mother----""Did n''t you know? |
35045 | But suppose I had run away, when things were dark and discouraging, would I now have anything to be happy over?" |
35045 | But tell me, Harry, where have you been, and why did you not write to us, and keep us posted?" |
35045 | But tell me, what will be best to do?" |
35045 | But what did all this arguing amount to? |
35045 | But what is the good of thinking about these things? |
35045 | But what will my aunt say? |
35045 | But, let me see,"he added, turning to the clock,"what time is it? |
35045 | But, suppose she will not have me back again; what then?" |
35045 | But, you know who helped me bear them, do n''t you, Lottie dear?" |
35045 | Could you not put a newspaper under you to catch the cuttings, another time?" |
35045 | Did n''t expect it, now, did you, when you started out? |
35045 | Do you know?" |
35045 | Flora,"she added, an instant later, as she glanced at the window,"is n''t that a potato in that jar?" |
35045 | Give up your situation here for good, or just ask for leave of absence?" |
35045 | Going to have a good time, enjoy yourself, and all that? |
35045 | Have n''t been getting along so well lately, I guess?" |
35045 | Have you?" |
35045 | He was interrupted by Flora''s inquiry:"Why widows especially?" |
35045 | He was the first to ask, however,"Have n''t I met you before?" |
35045 | Hearing a noise at the fence, she turned, and recognizing Flora, smiled and asked:"Wo n''t you come in?" |
35045 | Here, you Jacob, git up, will you?" |
35045 | How are you?" |
35045 | How many homes has he ruined, and hearts broken, and hopes destroyed? |
35045 | How many noble men has Satan conquered and then cast off? |
35045 | How old are you, Ruth?" |
35045 | How? |
35045 | I said,''Yes; did you want to get on?'' |
35045 | I wonder why?" |
35045 | Is n''t it tasteful? |
35045 | Must she die? |
35045 | Not my brother Joel?" |
35045 | Not your mother?" |
35045 | Now that he was there, what should he say? |
35045 | Shall I read it?" |
35045 | Suppose it meant the loss of his soul as well? |
35045 | Suppose the money had been left in trust to Flora? |
35045 | The very same?" |
35045 | They do n''t care about making improvements, and buying or speculating as a general thing, like----""Like what?" |
35045 | They left Flora at her door, Ruth asking if she had enjoyed the service, and added:"Will you not come to Sunday- school with us this afternoon?" |
35045 | True, he went down pretty far, and his rescue was effected by rather severe means; but what mattered that, so he was saved? |
35045 | Was it suddenly?" |
35045 | Was not the money Mrs. Graham''s to do with as she pleased? |
35045 | We mean to try and live right-- don''t we, Alec?" |
35045 | What are you doing here?" |
35045 | What can I do about that?" |
35045 | What could I do without you?" |
35045 | What do you think of this?" |
35045 | What does it all mean?" |
35045 | What encouragement is there for a girl in my place to try to do right?" |
35045 | What is it to you, anyway?" |
35045 | What is the difference? |
35045 | What is the matter? |
35045 | What is to become of you when you are called to lay aside the possessions you are striving so hard to get?" |
35045 | What next?" |
35045 | What was she going to do? |
35045 | What will you do?" |
35045 | When was he taken ill? |
35045 | Where does your aunt live? |
35045 | Where had he gone and what would he do? |
35045 | Where was his judgment? |
35045 | Where was she going? |
35045 | Where?" |
35045 | Why ca n''t she come too?" |
35045 | Why not read it, and see?" |
35045 | Why should she? |
35045 | Why?" |
35045 | Will you not come back to it?" |
35045 | Will you turn your head away when you feel it snap, and find yourself dying, with nothing to hold on to, I wonder?" |
35045 | With whom?" |
35045 | Would Esther have done more than I have done? |
35045 | You did n''t suppose I was pretending, did you?" |
35045 | You''d like to turn right about face now, and go back to your mother, perhaps?" |
35045 | and what do you mean by coming in here that way?" |
35045 | go back to Aunt Emmeline?" |
35045 | said Flora;"but could n''t you go to see her?" |
472 | Am I glad to see you? 472 An''I s''pose you''re happy, John?" |
472 | An''who''s it from? |
472 | And are you glad to see me, mother? |
472 | And can I learn to be a lawyer, sir? |
472 | And have children? |
472 | And now, darling,pleaded Tryon,"will you not fix the day that shall make me happy? |
472 | And now, my dear George,exclaimed the doctor,"to change one good subject for another, tell us who is the favored lady?" |
472 | And what about our mother? |
472 | And where are you staying, my dear? |
472 | And you are visiting your mother? |
472 | And you married into a good family? |
472 | Anything wanted, Dave? |
472 | Are you really colored? |
472 | Are you sure you do n''t care, mamma? |
472 | But would he marry me if he knew? |
472 | Ca n''t I go ter town fer you atter I''ve seed her home, Mars Geo''ge? |
472 | Can we not love each other for a while? |
472 | Can you read writin''? |
472 | Can you tell me anything about Judge Straight''s office hours? |
472 | Can you tell me who lives there? |
472 | Did he have on a linen duster? |
472 | Did you ask when he''d be back? |
472 | Did your people lose any niggers? |
472 | Did your wife leave any kin? |
472 | Do you mean ter''low that she wuz changed in her cradle, er is she too good- lookin''to be my daughter? |
472 | Do you see this fifty- cent piece? |
472 | Do you think I''m competent to teach the school? |
472 | Does Mis''Molly Walden live here? |
472 | Does she go to church or anywhere else with Jeff Wain, Plato? |
472 | Does-- does you mean ter say, Mis''Walden, dat-- dat dis young lady is yo''own daughter? |
472 | Fergot him? 472 Frank,"she asked,"can I git you to do somethin''fer me soon in the mo''nin''?" |
472 | George,she cried, in melting tones,"dear George, do you love me? |
472 | Gone where? 472 Gone where?" |
472 | Has any search been made for her? |
472 | Hello, Plato,called Tryon,"do you want a lift?" |
472 | Hello, Plato,replied the young man,"what are you doing here?" |
472 | How do you do? |
472 | How long have these weighty thoughts been troubling your small head? |
472 | How much do you love me? |
472 | How should I know anything about''em? |
472 | I think we ought to ask him to stay with us while he is in town, do n''t you? |
472 | I wonder if that wuz him? |
472 | I wonder who dat is? |
472 | If he found her out, would he by any possibility marry her? |
472 | Is Miss Rena here? |
472 | Is he married? |
472 | Is he married? |
472 | Is he sick, or in trouble? |
472 | Is he well off, Ed? |
472 | Is she gwine fur? |
472 | Is she tall and fair, and dignified and stately? |
472 | Is that you, Frank? |
472 | Is the doctor in? |
472 | Is there anything the matter with him? |
472 | Is your teacher white? |
472 | John Walden?--Walden? |
472 | Let me see-- you went away a few years before the war, was n''t it? |
472 | Look a- here, nigger, what are you doin''with this white woman? |
472 | Me, Mars Geo''ge? |
472 | Mis''''Liza who? |
472 | Miss Rena,said Plato to her on Tuesday,"ai n''t it''bout time I wuz gwine home wid you ag''in?" |
472 | My dear sister,he replied,"why should he know? |
472 | Plato,remarked Tryon impressively, as they drove into the town,"do you think you could keep a secret?" |
472 | Rena, darling,said her lover,"when shall it be? |
472 | Rena,asked her mother,"how''d you like to go an''pay yo''r brother John a visit? |
472 | Sho''ly, Miss Rena, you''re gwine ter honah me wid one dance? 472 That is yours, is n''t it?" |
472 | Then I need not be black? |
472 | Then the message comes through you from somebody else? |
472 | There''s a man here, doctor, who''s been taken suddenly ill. Can you come in a minute? |
472 | Very well; would you not be willing, for his sake, to keep a secret-- your secret and mine, and that of the innocent child in your arms? 472 W''at is it, Mis''Molly?" |
472 | Was there some one here? |
472 | Wat you callin''dat w''ite man marster fur? |
472 | Well, Cousin Molly,said Mary B. to Mis''Molly in the kitchen,"how does the plan strike you?" |
472 | Well, Plato, what news? |
472 | Well, Plato,he asked,"why are you absent from the classic shades of the academy to- day?" |
472 | Well, Rena, dear,he asked with a smile,"what''s the matter? |
472 | What Walden can that be? 472 What did he say?" |
472 | What is the matter, George, dear? |
472 | What would be the use? |
472 | When did you last see my son? |
472 | Where are you goin''with her? |
472 | Who could have dreamed that she would blossom out like that? 472 Who is he, John?" |
472 | Who is the lady, Tryon? |
472 | Who was the lady, Plato? |
472 | Who''s dead? |
472 | Who''s it fur? |
472 | Who''s there? |
472 | Why are you not at school to- day? |
472 | Why should n''t it be the other way, if the white blood is so much superior? |
472 | Why, indeed, should he not be a lawyer, or anything else that a man might be, if it be in him? |
472 | Why? |
472 | Will he or will he not? |
472 | Would he have loved me at all,she asked herself,"if he had known the story of my past? |
472 | Yes, George? |
472 | You ai n''t gwine ter be gone long, is you, Miss Rena? |
472 | You are aware, of course, that you are a negro? |
472 | You do n''t think, Frank,asked Rena severely,"that I would leave my mother and my home and all my friends, and NEVER come back again?" |
472 | You love your children, mother? |
472 | You''ve got a child? |
472 | You''ve got a message from my son, you say? |
472 | ''Bout w''at time shill I come over?" |
472 | And what would I do with a mule, anyhow? |
472 | And you ARE a gentleman now, John, ai n''t you-- sure enough? |
472 | Are you staying long?" |
472 | At what time shall I call for Miss Warwick this evening? |
472 | But as I was saying, this girl is a beauty; I reckon we might guess where she got some of it, eh, Judge? |
472 | But had he not aided in his own deception? |
472 | But perhaps there''s a loadstone in South Carolina to draw you back? |
472 | But to which of the two men, and to what end? |
472 | But we''ll spare you if you''ll answer one question-- is it serious?" |
472 | But what assurance was there that Frank would always be discreet about the affairs of others? |
472 | But where is Rena? |
472 | But would he not see Rena in her best attire, and might she not perhaps, in passing, speak a word to him? |
472 | But would her lover still love her, if he knew all? |
472 | Could he still have held her in love and honor? |
472 | Could she have divined his thought? |
472 | Did you ever hear of the Dred Scott decision, delivered by the great, wise, and learned Judge Taney?" |
472 | Do n''t you think, if you should go part of the way, that I might take your place for the rest, while you did my errand?" |
472 | Do you belong in town?" |
472 | Do you imagine he would be any happier than he is now, or than if he should never know?" |
472 | Do you know where she lives-- down on Front Street, in the house behind the cedars?" |
472 | Do you remember how you cried when I went away?" |
472 | Do you remember my wife thirty years ago, judge?" |
472 | Do you-- love me?" |
472 | Does n''t such a course seem just the least bit selfish? |
472 | For after all, they argued, in spite of her airs and graces, her white face and her fine clothes, was she not a negro, even as themselves? |
472 | Had God ordained the crime that the punishment might follow? |
472 | Had not Rena compared herself to the child''s nurse, and had he not assured her that if she were the nurse, he would marry her next day? |
472 | Had not Warwick told him distinctly that they were of no family, and was it not his own fault that he had not followed up the clue thus given him? |
472 | Had not the Witch of Endor called up the shade of Samuel the prophet? |
472 | Had not the spirit of Mis''Molly''s dead son appeared to her, as well as the ghostly presence of another she had loved? |
472 | He could scarcely call at her boarding- place,--what possible proper excuse could a young white man have for visiting a colored woman? |
472 | How had he been so blind as not to have read long ago the character of this wretched girl who had bewitched him? |
472 | How is that for a pedigree? |
472 | How many others of his friends would do the same, if they but knew of it? |
472 | How much do you love me? |
472 | How was he to imagine that persons of their appearance and pretensions were tainted with negro blood? |
472 | How would you like to lose yo''r one child?" |
472 | I wonder ef she''d know me er speak ter me ef she seed me? |
472 | I wonder w''at dat man''s gwine ter do wid her handkercher? |
472 | I wonder who the other is, and what was the trouble?" |
472 | I wonder,"he mused,"if he will find her out?" |
472 | If a man is noble and brave and strong, if a woman is beautiful and good and true, what matters it about his or her ancestry? |
472 | If he had married Rena in ignorance of her secret, and had learned it afterwards, would he have put her aside? |
472 | If not, could he have given her the outward seeming of affection, or could he have been more than coldly tolerant? |
472 | If she had met misfortune before, what were her prospects for happiness now? |
472 | Is there anything you want-- money, or what? |
472 | Is you got a roasted''tater you could gimme, ma''m?" |
472 | Kin I ride wid you?" |
472 | Miss Leary had no doubt that there was a woman at the bottom of it,--for about what else should youth worry but love? |
472 | No doubt that seems to you a long time, young gentleman?" |
472 | No? |
472 | Nobody knows the old story?" |
472 | Or, having loved me, could he blame me now for what I can not help?" |
472 | Sacrifices must be made, but if the world without love would be nothing, then why not give up the world for love? |
472 | Shall I fetch''i m?" |
472 | So one of old Duncan McSwayne''s notes went so far as that? |
472 | Suppose he had married me and then had found it out?" |
472 | The flower would soon be his; why should he care to dig up the soil in which it grew? |
472 | The sound that came from them seemed to be:--"Is Dr. Green in? |
472 | The spirit of a thing, after all, is what counts; and what is lacking here? |
472 | There are the dear old books: have they been read since I went away?" |
472 | W''at wuz dat you say?" |
472 | Wain''s?" |
472 | Wain?" |
472 | Was it the name, or some subtle resemblance in speech or feature, that recalled Tryon''s image to Rena''s mind? |
472 | What ails the girl?" |
472 | What do you mean?" |
472 | What horrible fate was it that had involved him-- nay, that had caught this sweet delicate girl in such a blind alley? |
472 | What is it, Dave?" |
472 | What is your father''s name?" |
472 | What is your name, child, and where were you brought up? |
472 | What should she do? |
472 | What would I do in Clarence now? |
472 | What''s yo''r business?" |
472 | When shall it be? |
472 | Wherein lay the great superiority of his position, if he was denied the right to speak to the one person in the world whom he most cared to address? |
472 | Who else could comfort you so well as she?" |
472 | Who has not known some even- tempered old man or woman who seemed to have drunk of the fountain of youth? |
472 | Who has not seen somewhere an old town that, having long since ceased to grow, yet held its own without perceptible decline? |
472 | Who the devil are you, sir, that wish so strange a thing as to become a lawyer-- everybody''s servant?" |
472 | Why not speak to her now, and thus give himself the best possible protection against stray flames of love? |
472 | Why not?" |
472 | Why should I seek the society of people whose friendship-- and love-- one little word can turn to scorn? |
472 | Why should he, by revealing his presence, sow the seeds of doubt or distrust in the garden of her happiness? |
472 | Why, of all created beings, should this particular woman be chosen to teach the colored school at Sandy Run? |
472 | Will you be able to look over them to- day? |
472 | Will you go with me?" |
472 | Will you not grant me one interview? |
472 | Will you stay with the ladies awhile, or go back down town with me?" |
472 | Will you wait for me here, George, or will you drive down to the office? |
472 | Wo n''t you set down in de private office an''wait fer''i m, suh?" |
472 | Would God have made hearts to so yearn for one another if He had meant them to stay forever apart? |
472 | Would he love me, if he knew?" |
472 | Would the girl, denied marriage, accept anything less? |
472 | Would the young man''s love turn to disgust and repulsion, or would it merely sink from the level of worship to that of desire? |
472 | Would you involve all of us in difficulties merely to secure your own peace of mind? |
472 | Would you mind driving her over? |
472 | Would- be- lawyer?" |
472 | You know who I mean, do n''t you, judge?" |
472 | You love him, I imagine, and wish to make him happy?" |
472 | and how have you been getting along?" |
472 | and since the slaves had been freed, was not one negro as good as another? |
472 | do n''t you know me?" |
472 | exclaimed Dr. Green vivaciously,"insult our town by staying only one day? |
472 | exclaimed his neighbor, with a well- simulated air of mystification,"what are you talkin''about?" |
472 | exclaimed the stranger,"who''ve you got there?" |
472 | he exclaimed suddenly, striking his knee with his hand,"why should n''t I run up to Patesville while Rena''s gone? |
472 | or if one''s love affairs run smoothly, why should one worry about anything at all? |
472 | she exclaimed weakly,"what is it?" |
472 | she inquired with interest? |
472 | she moaned,"what shall I do with out her? |
16741 | ''Ah ma''am,''said Lucy,''what shall I do now she is gone? 16741 ''But do n''t the laws protect them?'' |
16741 | ''But what induced him, Lucy, to do such a wicked thing?'' 16741 ''But what induced you?'' |
16741 | ''But what made you get a black one,''said Harriet,''why did you not get a dark green or a brown one?'' 16741 ''For a horse and chaise, all day?'' |
16741 | ''Lor, ma''am, do you think I cared for that? 16741 ''Lucy,''I said,''when was that placed there?'' |
16741 | ''Miss Ellen,''says I,''as sure as there''s a God in heaven you are Mr. Lee''s wife, and why do n''t you say so, and stand up for yourself? 16741 ''Oh, master,''said Simon,''wo n''t you take me back? |
16741 | ''The deacon did not even give me a nod until he had scrutinized the condition of the horse and chaise, and then he said,''How are you?'' 16741 ''Well, Mrs. Brown,''said Arthur, for I was looking in the glass cases and under the counter for the pretty face,''have you any rusk?'' |
16741 | ''What do you mean?'' 16741 ''What is it, Miss Ellen?'' |
16741 | ''Where on earth has she put that cake?'' 16741 ''Where''s that''lection cake I told you to bring here?'' |
16741 | ''Why do n''t you make the boy clothes enough, Julia?'' 16741 ''Will you give us some, and some cakes, or whatever you have? |
16741 | ''Yes, Miss Janet, but if God give me a better life, shall I not esteem it a greater blessing? 16741 A great many of your slaves run away through the year, do n''t they?" |
16741 | Ai nt you ashamed to talk so about Miss Alice, when she''s always coming to you, bringing you something, and trying to do something for you? |
16741 | Alice, I charge you, as in the presence of God, to tell me truly: do you love Walter Lee? |
16741 | Alice, what is the matter? |
16741 | And are they such trouble to you, Arthur? |
16741 | And did you think I was going to steal besides running off from her and the poor baby? |
16741 | And how did they get them? |
16741 | And if such laws do exist,said Arthur,"where is the cause? |
16741 | Any thing the matter, Bacchus? |
16741 | Are you ill? |
16741 | Are you not a runaway? |
16741 | Are you talking of gloom? |
16741 | Art thou,said Paul,"called being a slave? |
16741 | Barbecue or campmeeting, Bacchus? |
16741 | Besides, Abel,continued Arthur,"what right have you to interfere? |
16741 | But am I one of the beloved? |
16741 | But can you advocate the enslaving of your fellow man? |
16741 | But how can I write to Arthur, when I know I am not treating him as I would wish him to treat me? |
16741 | But is not Walter our equal? |
16741 | But suppose he does not know how to do so,said Mrs. Moore,"what then? |
16741 | But that was doing very well,said Alice;"do n''t you think so, Aunt Phillis? |
16741 | But you love me, Alice; and will you see me go from you forever, without hope? 16741 But you must remember the_ spirit of the age_, Arthur, as Mr. Hubbard calls it?" |
16741 | But, do your laws always secure you from ill- treatment? |
16741 | But, my dear,said he,"do you think it right to give such things in charge of a servant?" |
16741 | Ca n''t you experiment upon us, Arthur; test us chemically? |
16741 | Can it be possible? |
16741 | Children,said Miss Janet-- for she had gently approached them--"do you know when and where happiness is to be found? |
16741 | Come back here,said Phillis,"you real cornfield nigger; you goin there naked?" |
16741 | Come in, child,said she,"and warm yourself; how is your cough? |
16741 | Could he die agin, Miss Janet? |
16741 | Dead, what do you mean? |
16741 | Dear Alice,said Ellen, fixing her large dark eyes on her;"how can I ever be grateful enough to you?" |
16741 | Did God make de nanny- goats, too? |
16741 | Did Lucy ever hear of her children? |
16741 | Did n''t he though? 16741 Did you bring Lucy home with you, Cousin Janet?" |
16741 | Did you ever hear de like? |
16741 | Did you hear what Cousin Janet said to Lydia, to- night, mother? 16741 Do n''t you hear the wind?" |
16741 | Do n''t you know your duty better than to be interfering in the concerns of these people? 16741 Do n''t you want some needles,"he said,"or a waist ribbon, or some candy? |
16741 | Do you not see me before you, Peggy? |
16741 | Do you think that the African slave- trade can be defended? |
16741 | Does you hear that, master? |
16741 | For what? |
16741 | From whom did you get them? |
16741 | Had I not better wake the doctor? |
16741 | Have they come again, too? |
16741 | Have we not always been as brother and sister? |
16741 | Have you any more orders to give, sir? 16741 Have you had a pleasant ride?" |
16741 | Have you tried it on? |
16741 | He is what? |
16741 | High,said Phillis;"where''s the sore foot you had this morning?" |
16741 | How did you get here? |
16741 | How is her pulse? |
16741 | How is yer health dis evenin, master? 16741 How is your grandmother, child?" |
16741 | How is your mother, Bacchus? |
16741 | I do n''t want any thing, Willie; but will you be sure to return to- night? 16741 I hope you will not be angry with me, master?" |
16741 | I reckon you''re sick, Aunt Peggy,said Phillis;"why did n''t you let me know you was n''t well?" |
16741 | In what respect? 16741 In what sense?" |
16741 | Is anything the matter at home, Anna? |
16741 | Is it failing? |
16741 | Is it the same? 16741 Is that your gratitude,"was the indignant reply,"for all that we''ve done for you? |
16741 | Is this you, Phillis? |
16741 | Is you got de headache now, Miss Alice? |
16741 | Its an improvement, honey,said Phillis;"but what''s the use of getting drunk at all? |
16741 | Mammy, she''s well,said the young gentleman;"how''s you, master?" |
16741 | Miss Janet,said Lydia, speaking very softly,"who made de lightning- bugs?" |
16741 | Miss Janet,said Lydia,"ai nt Miss Alice white?" |
16741 | Mother,said Esther,"will you take this medicine-- it is time?" |
16741 | Nancy,she said,"did n''t you think it was strange your grandmother slept so quiet, and laid so late this morning? |
16741 | No-- no-- foolish child; what gives you such ideas? |
16741 | Nonsense,said Arthur,"do n''t you think I can judge for myself, as regards that? |
16741 | Not when she was''live? |
16741 | Of whom are you speaking? |
16741 | Oh, Mr. William, is it you? |
16741 | Oh, mammy,she said to her attendant, for she had always thus affectionately addressed her;"did you ever see any one as handsome as Willie?" |
16741 | On the bridge,said William, laughing;"did you think I was going to jump my horse across?" |
16741 | Phillis, you do n''t mean me to wear dis here to meetin? 16741 Phillis,"said Bacchus, appealingly,"you ai nt much used to jokin, and I know you would n''t tell an ontruth; what do you mean?" |
16741 | Phillis,said he,"do you b''lieve in sperrits?" |
16741 | Robert,said Esther,"you''re a born fool; do you mean to say you want me to marry you?" |
16741 | Sarah,he said, and she looked up as before, without any doubt, in his open countenance,"are you a good worker?" |
16741 | Then if it is not your country, for what reason do you concern yourself so much about its affairs? |
16741 | Think I did n''t see her yesterday? 16741 Time old people were in bed, Aunt Peggy,"said she;"what are you settin up for, all by yourself?" |
16741 | To_ your_ heart? 16741 Was Washington a cheerful man?" |
16741 | Well, Bacchus? |
16741 | Well, but what shall I do? |
16741 | Well, of course you are a great deal happier now than when you were a slave? |
16741 | Well, what does it mean? |
16741 | Well,said Abel,"how can you defend your right to hold slaves as property in the United States?" |
16741 | Well,said Mr. Weston,"what did he say?" |
16741 | What can I do? |
16741 | What could you do? |
16741 | What do you mean by that? 16741 What do you say such a foolish thing as that for, Lydia?" |
16741 | What do you think is the meaning of the text''Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren,''Hubbard? |
16741 | What does he do with it? |
16741 | What have I to forgive? 16741 What induced you to run away? |
16741 | What is here? |
16741 | What is it about, Arthur,said Abel Johnson,"it is too hot to read this morning, so pray enlighten me?" |
16741 | What is it, Alice? |
16741 | What is it, master? |
16741 | What is that large vault open to- day for? |
16741 | What is the matter, Bacchus? |
16741 | What is the woman''s name, Bacchus? |
16741 | What makes her so white? |
16741 | What makes you think so? |
16741 | What put such a dreadful thought into your head, child? |
16741 | What they going to laugh at me about? |
16741 | What was to fall? |
16741 | What would be done with the slaves in the mean time? |
16741 | What you doin here? |
16741 | What''ll I have? 16741 What''ll you have, Jake?" |
16741 | What''s come over you? |
16741 | What_ is_ the matter? |
16741 | When people are dead they do n''t hear nothin; where''s the harm? |
16741 | When? |
16741 | Where are the little girls? |
16741 | Where is Martha? |
16741 | Where shall you go first? |
16741 | Who brought this paper into my room? |
16741 | Who cares for tar and feathers? |
16741 | Who is there? |
16741 | Who says I was ever tired of her? 16741 Who will say what God intends to do? |
16741 | Who would have thought she could have made so wise a will? 16741 Who''s I got to set up wid me?" |
16741 | Whose can they be? |
16741 | Why did not Walter come in? |
16741 | Why did you do so? 16741 Why do n''t you go to bed, then?" |
16741 | Why do you not_ take_ your freedom? |
16741 | Why think of that now, my love? |
16741 | Why, Jupiter,said Phillis,"is this you? |
16741 | Why, how are you going to cross Willow''s Creek? |
16741 | Why, how,said she, as Bacchus, in a most cramped condition endeavored to raise himself,"did the lid fall on you?" |
16741 | Why, lord a massy,said he,"Phillis, what do you call dis here? |
16741 | Why, whar''s the ruffles? |
16741 | Why, what a fool you be,said one of the men;"Did n''t I tell you to bring your mistress''purse along?" |
16741 | Why, what on earth? |
16741 | Will any body listen to the boy? 16741 Will you have any thing, sir?" |
16741 | Would I, sir? 16741 Would n''t he be a good subject for tar and feathers, Arthur? |
16741 | Yes, I am; but why do you ask me? |
16741 | You ai n''t in earnest, Esther? |
16741 | You are Abolitionists, I''spose? |
16741 | You are afraid of the night air, Cousin Janet? |
16741 | You are not in love with him now, are you, Alice? |
16741 | You call it a misfortune, do you, Bacchus? |
16741 | You do n''t think, then,said Mr. Hubbard, argumentatively,"that God''s curse is on slavery, do you?" |
16741 | You never liked him, Anna,said Mr. Weston;"why was it?" |
16741 | You, with your smooth cheeks and bright eyes, may well think of passing a winter in Washington; but what should I do there? 16741 [ A] Although she is here speaking of slavery_ politically_, can you not apply it to matrimony in this miserable country of ours? |
16741 | ''And where is Abednego?'' |
16741 | ''Are they all dead?'' |
16741 | ''Father,''said he, scarcely waiting until the sentence that General Washington was uttering, was finished,''what do you think? |
16741 | ''Is it possible that they are gone, and I am no longer to be plagued with them? |
16741 | ''Well, what has become of them?'' |
16741 | ***** ARTHUR''S New Juvenile Library BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED, 1. WHO IS GREATEST? |
16741 | ***** Mr. Weston alighted from his horse, and hurried to the sitting- room,"Have you waited tea for me?" |
16741 | ***** WHAT IS CHURCH HISTORY? |
16741 | *****"Now,"said Abel,"having a couple of particularly good cigars, where did we leave off?" |
16741 | 2. WHO ARE HAPPIEST? |
16741 | After a great deal of mental exercise, the brain jumps at a conclusion,"What are these dogs kept here for?" |
16741 | Again Lydia spoke,"If I was to stay all time in de house, and never go in de sun, would I git white?" |
16741 | Alice, darling, is your head better?" |
16741 | Am I not a daughter of the Old Dominion, a member of one of the F.F.V''s? |
16741 | And Arthur, can it be right for me to be engaged to him, and to deceive him, too?" |
16741 | And have I not a right to insist, for my native State, upon all that truth will permit? |
16741 | And what did they say to the slavery that existed then and had been entailed upon them by the English government? |
16741 | And what to thee, thou faithful servant? |
16741 | And who can read the history of the world and say this curse has not existed ever since it was uttered? |
16741 | And, finally, she was desired to open her mouth, that they might see whether her teeth had been extracted to sell to the dentist?" |
16741 | Anna, did you send for the doctor?" |
16741 | Are are all my tears and prayers to fail? |
16741 | Are not all these curses recorded, and will they not all be fulfilled? |
16741 | As she looked into Mr. Weston''s grieved and honest face, the question suggested itself,--Is it right thus, to keep him in ignorance? |
16741 | As to"Whether she had been born a slave, or had been kidnapped? |
16741 | Ask mammy if I ai nt?" |
16741 | But a bitter smile passed over his countenance, and in a stern voice he said,"And you, Alice, what are you to do?" |
16741 | But does this curse authorize the slave- trade? |
16741 | But how can that man be loved who has put away his wife from him, because he is tired of her? |
16741 | But what is this, coming along the side- walk?" |
16741 | But what was she now? |
16741 | But why do n''t the Abolitionists buy our slaves, and send them to Liberia?" |
16741 | But, Phillis, have you no wishes to express, as regards your children?" |
16741 | But, what will the Abolitionist say to this scene? |
16741 | Can anybody fail to make the inference, what the practical result will be? |
16741 | Can it be that in this case the wise Creator will visit the sins of the father upon the child? |
16741 | Can we judge of society by a few isolated incidents? |
16741 | Can we not remodel our husbands, place them under our thumbs, and shut up the escape valves of their grumbling forever? |
16741 | Canst thou change his employments, and elevate his condition? |
16741 | Christian of the North, canst thou emancipate the Southern slave? |
16741 | Could a man capable of such an act deserve the blessing of a just and holy God? |
16741 | Could aught escape_ their_ vigilance? |
16741 | Did Bacchus know it?" |
16741 | Did I heed his advice? |
16741 | Did I not tell you of the time I hired his horse and chaise? |
16741 | Did ever any one hear of a soldier being amiable? |
16741 | Did he condemn the institution which he had made? |
16741 | Did he establish universal freedom? |
16741 | Did it ever occur to her, that Northerners might go South, and buy a great many of these slaves, and manumit them? |
16741 | Did not my father wear crape on his hat at his funeral? |
16741 | Did not my grandfather ride races with General Washington? |
16741 | Did she ever have any thing but sweet potato pealings? |
16741 | Did you ever think of the consequences of such an act?'' |
16741 | Do n''t you see all these graves around you?" |
16741 | Do n''t you see how people sneer at you when they see you?'' |
16741 | Do you commend that morbid affection which clings to its object not only through sorrow, but sin? |
16741 | Do you see any thing like apprehension? |
16741 | Does not this exhibit the impression of the Jews as regards the character of Ham? |
16741 | Each heart asked itself, When? |
16741 | Except in crossing a corduroy road in the West, where can one hope to be so thoroughly shaken up? |
16741 | For, is a professed gambler better than a common thief? |
16741 | Gradually the chest lid opened a little way, and a sepulchral voice, issuing from it, uttered in a low tone these words:"Phillis, gal, is that you?" |
16741 | Had Christ left it to them to carry out, in this instance, his revealed will? |
16741 | Had she ever been ducked? |
16741 | Had she ever been shut up in a dark cellar and nearly starved? |
16741 | Had the apostles authority to do it away? |
16741 | Had you an unkind master?" |
16741 | Has he in the wide world an enemy who can bring aught against him? |
16741 | Has she heard those cheering words? |
16741 | Has this curse failed or been removed? |
16741 | Have I not often told you that God is a spirit? |
16741 | Have not they been fulfilled? |
16741 | Have you any right to claim for yourself superior holiness? |
16741 | Have you never told Alice her history, cousin?" |
16741 | Have you no children, Lucy?'' |
16741 | Have you not pitied him when you reflected that he was alone, far away from such good influences? |
16741 | Have you so little pride? |
16741 | Havn''t I been crossing it these fifty years? |
16741 | He came on an errand of mercy to the world, and he was all powerful to accomplish the Divine intent; but, did he emancipate the slave? |
16741 | Here is one whom he has loved, whose voice he is accustomed to hear; shall he, through neglect or mismanagement, make a void in many hearts? |
16741 | How came you to do that?'' |
16741 | How can you stand it? |
16741 | How could such a man die? |
16741 | How could you ask me?" |
16741 | How do you all feel?" |
16741 | How does he fare? |
16741 | How is he to draw the nice line of distinction? |
16741 | How many times a week she had been whipped, and what with? |
16741 | How much did I know of death? |
16741 | I am in a hurry now, tell me what I am to pay you?'' |
16741 | I am told you are turned preacher?" |
16741 | I guess you think the rags on your back good wages enough?" |
16741 | I have been anxious for your health, but is there not more cause to fear for your happiness?" |
16741 | I meant, did you not fear His power, who could not only kill your body, but destroy your soul in hell?'' |
16741 | I rather think, that you''d think the first stray horse you could find an indication of Providence-- shouldn''t you?" |
16741 | I said to one of them, a large fat negro,''What''s your name, uncle?'' |
16741 | In reply to the question,"Are you free?" |
16741 | In the times of the apostles, what do we see? |
16741 | Is he not a curiosity? |
16741 | Is it for my country, or for my party and myself? |
16741 | Is it so?" |
16741 | Is it your wish too?" |
16741 | Is that it, Arthur?" |
16741 | Is there any place in the world like this?" |
16741 | Is there not a charm in it? |
16741 | It has been, that master and slave were friends; and if this can not continue, at whose door will the sin lie? |
16741 | It was dreadful to see her thus agitated; and Alice, throwing her arms around her mother exclaimed,"What is it, dearest mother? |
16741 | It was without any agitation that she asked what was the matter? |
16741 | Johnson?'' |
16741 | Lydia said inquiringly,"Was n''t Jesus Christ God, ma''am?" |
16741 | Men of business and mechanics in the land, they know that one who ever defended their interests is gone, and who shall take his place? |
16741 | Miss Alice, ai nt she never told you bout de time she seed an elerphant drink a river dry?" |
16741 | Mr. H. has just returned from a tour in the Southern States, and he is to lecture to- night, wo n''t you go and hear him?" |
16741 | Need I say it was joy when she called me, Mother? |
16741 | Need I say that I was happy when she nestled there? |
16741 | Need he essay to penetrate the future? |
16741 | Now, has there been any law reversing this, except in the States that have become free? |
16741 | Now, is not this infamous?" |
16741 | Now, was not that trading in human bodies and souls in earnest? |
16741 | Perkins?" |
16741 | See any little graves thar? |
16741 | Shall he, from want of skill, bring weeping and desolation to a house where health and joy have been? |
16741 | She asks the question,"_ What_ can any individual do?" |
16741 | She sighed and continued,"Am I not deceiving the kind protector and friend of my childhood? |
16741 | She was not for him; and why should he not seek, as others had done, to drown all care? |
16741 | She''s got a pleasant voice, has n''t she, sir? |
16741 | Shut down the window, Miss Ellen, do n''t you feel the wind? |
16741 | So, ma''am, if God died onct, could n''t he die agin?" |
16741 | The day when there was a tie between master and slave,--is that departing, and why? |
16741 | The young men laughed, and Arthur said"What will he do with his money? |
16741 | There is one thing concerning death in which we are apt to be sceptical, and that is,"Does he want me?" |
16741 | There, you''re sneezin; did n''t I tell you so?" |
16741 | This dread crisis past, and what would be the result? |
16741 | This is slavery indeed, and where is the man, come from God, who will show us a remedy? |
16741 | Tom evidently considers himself as too good for this world; and after making these proposals to his master, he is asked,"How are you?" |
16741 | Walter?" |
16741 | Warn''t dat what you said, sir?'' |
16741 | Was she allowed more than one meal a day? |
16741 | Was the dreaded messenger here? |
16741 | Watcher by the couch of suffering, sayest thou so? |
16741 | We may observe his dealings with man, but we may not ask, until he reveals it, Why hast thou thus done? |
16741 | Well may he bare his breast and say, for_ what_ is my voice raised where his has been heard? |
16741 | Well, Mark, I hope the little fellow is getting well?" |
16741 | Were the exertions of the Abolitionists successful, what would be the result? |
16741 | Weston?" |
16741 | What can be the matter with you? |
16741 | What can be the meaning of it?" |
16741 | What do you think about it, Arthur?" |
16741 | What has brought you here?" |
16741 | What has come over you?" |
16741 | What has it been elsewhere? |
16741 | What might it bring forth; joy or endless weeping? |
16741 | What might the short summer bring? |
16741 | What right have you New England people to the farms you are now holding?" |
16741 | What says that vision of languishing and loveliness to the old man whose eyes are fixed in grief upon it? |
16741 | What to him is the love of country, or the memory of Washington? |
16741 | What to thee, oh, mother? |
16741 | What was it a doin?" |
16741 | What was there? |
16741 | What will this gentleman think of me?" |
16741 | When did he die?" |
16741 | When is he comin, any how, sir?" |
16741 | When we are thirsty water is better than any thing else; and when we ai nt thirsty, what''s the use of drinking?" |
16741 | When were thy first thoughts of death? |
16741 | When will stay the tumultuous beatings of their hearts? |
16741 | When will they sleep in the shadow of the old church? |
16741 | When will you set out, and how will you travel? |
16741 | Where are now the hopes of half thy lifetime, where the consummation of all thy anxious plans? |
16741 | Where are such roads to be found? |
16741 | Where is Canaan?" |
16741 | Where is her beauty-- and her grace and talent? |
16741 | Where is that mother? |
16741 | Where were the whip and the cord, and other instruments of torture? |
16741 | Whether she had ever been sold? |
16741 | Which was the blacker, her eyes or her visage; or whiter, her eyeballs or her hair? |
16741 | Who could expect a woman to preserve her composure under such circumstances? |
16741 | Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high? |
16741 | Why are you so still and silent? |
16741 | Why ca n''t you repent? |
16741 | Why did n''t you fry''em a little more?" |
16741 | Why did you not inform me of it, that I might have sent him off?" |
16741 | Why do you judge for him? |
16741 | Why need he recall the past? |
16741 | Why, Bacchus, how come it, you forgot old Jupiter? |
16741 | Why, sir, do you mean to say, that the life of a slave is in the power of a master, and that he is not under the protection of our laws?" |
16741 | Why, you look sober; not regretting Washington already?" |
16741 | Will any one hear her coughin? |
16741 | Will it pass, or will it rest upon thee forever? |
16741 | Will she close thine eyes with her loving hand? |
16741 | Will she drop upon thy breast a daughter''s tear?" |
16741 | Will she perpetuate the name of thy race? |
16741 | Will you not join her there? |
16741 | Will you not taste the sublime joys of faith? |
16741 | Will you promise me you will try to be?" |
16741 | Will you yourself speak the word that sends me forth a wanderer upon the earth?" |
16741 | William?" |
16741 | Would you leave me for Walter, Alice?" |
16741 | Would you like again to see Mr. Caldwell, and receive the communion?" |
16741 | Would you run such a risk? |
16741 | Would you then, sir, destroy the fabric, by undermining the Constitution? |
16741 | [ B] And now, Phillis, are you satisfied? |
16741 | aged woman? |
16741 | and ai nt I up to all its freaks and ways? |
16741 | are you sure?" |
16741 | but does he offer to share in the loss? |
16741 | but what does he do that really advances his interest? |
16741 | daddy, is that you?" |
16741 | have so many years passed away, that thou hast forgotten the bitterness of thy first sorrow, or is it yet to come? |
16741 | have you ever stood by the dying bed of a slave? |
16741 | if your father had been here to have saved him-- but who could have saved him? |
16741 | master,"said Phillis,"what shall I say to you? |
16741 | said Abel,"there is that idiot, with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, across the street: was he born equal with you?" |
16741 | said Aunt Peggy,"that''s all?" |
16741 | said Mr. Weston,"Is Cousin Janet--?" |
16741 | said Mr. Weston,"and do you continue this disputing in my presence? |
16741 | said Mrs. Moore;"you would n''t have me do a thing my husband disapproves of, would you?" |
16741 | said Mrs. Weston,"and Arthur within a few miles of us? |
16741 | said Phillis;"did she sleep well?" |
16741 | said the Northern gentleman,"were niggers allowed to attend Washington''s funeral?" |
16741 | said the astonished woman:"Surely, is that you, Bacchus?" |
16741 | sir,"said Mr. Chapman, the veins in his temples swelling, and his whole frame glowing with vexation,"what is that you say? |
16741 | t''aint a shirt? |
16741 | that her voice was music to my soul, and her smile the very presence of beauty? |
16741 | what?" |
16741 | young ladies,"he continued,"did she rightly use those talents?" |
12352 | A civil war about what? |
12352 | A few have done? 12352 A member of a colored church? |
12352 | After I had finished the hymn,continued Iola,"he looked earnestly and inquiringly into my face, and asked,''Where did you learn that hymn? |
12352 | Ai n''t dey beauties? 12352 Am I so changed?" |
12352 | An''how''s Miss Nancy? |
12352 | And Iola, would she be satisfied? |
12352 | And did n''t you feel sorry for him? |
12352 | And did you really think that they would accept the terms of freedom and lay down their arms? |
12352 | And how,asked Robert,"do you know what I am thinking about?" |
12352 | And is not that a proof that we are at fault with respect to our institutions? |
12352 | And is this your final answer? |
12352 | And is this your settled purpose? |
12352 | And leave you? |
12352 | And what are they, Iola? 12352 And what then?" |
12352 | And what would grandma and Uncle Robert say? |
12352 | And why let politics alone? |
12352 | And yet you saw Miss Leroy do it? |
12352 | And, Aunt Linda, what did you do? |
12352 | Any more,asked Robert,"than the leaders of the Rebellion did the ignorant, poor whites during our late conflict?" |
12352 | Are you in earnest? 12352 As disfranchisement is a punishment for crime, is it just to punish a man before he transgresses the law?" |
12352 | But do n''t the temperance people want the colored people to vote the temperance ticket? |
12352 | But has not society the right to guard the purity of its blood by the rigid exclusion of an alien race? |
12352 | But how came you to be Aunt Linda''s husband? 12352 But how did they get it?" |
12352 | But how is it in the Church? |
12352 | But what right has public opinion to interfere with our marriage relations? 12352 But, Aunt Linda, if old Miss were able to take care of you, would n''t you just as leave be back again?" |
12352 | But, Doctor, what kind of society would we have if we put down the bars and admitted everybody to social equality? |
12352 | But, Iola,said Dr. Gresham, a little impatiently,"what has all this to do with our marriage? |
12352 | But, Robby, ef alcohol''s so bad, w''at made de Lord put it here? |
12352 | But, Uncle Dan''el, you wo n''t say nothin''''bout our going, will you? |
12352 | But, Uncle Daniel, you''re not too old to want your freedom? |
12352 | But, Uncle Daniel,said Robert,"what''s the use of praying for a thing if, when it comes, you wo n''t take it? |
12352 | But, surely, Robert, you do not think religion has degraded the negro? |
12352 | By what authority? |
12352 | By what authority? |
12352 | Can it be possible dat dis is my little Marie? |
12352 | Captain,said Robert, with a tone of bitterness in his voice,"what had we to be grateful for? |
12352 | Compliments aside,she said, smiling;"what are you driving at, Doctor?" |
12352 | Dat''s jis''de way; you see dat, Miss Iola? 12352 Did he do it?" |
12352 | Did he do it? |
12352 | Did n''t he go to the battle? |
12352 | Do n''t she know that her father is dead? |
12352 | Do n''t you know that if she is as fair as a lily, beautiful as a houri, and chaste as ice, that still she is a negro? |
12352 | Do n''t you remember,asked Robert,"that my mother had a little daughter, when Mrs. Johnson sold her? |
12352 | Do n''t you think,asked Dr. Gresham,"that we have been too hasty in our judgment of the negro? |
12352 | Do n''t your preachers do that? |
12352 | Do you ever go to see old Miss? |
12352 | Do you know dis gemmen? |
12352 | Do you know where she learned it? |
12352 | Do you remember my mother? |
12352 | Do you remember where she came from, and who was her mother? |
12352 | Do you think it would make her feel too happy? |
12352 | Do you think she would go with us? |
12352 | Do you think so? |
12352 | Do you think white folks is your bes''friends? |
12352 | Do you think you can get her away? |
12352 | Do you think,asked Iola,"if you saw the likeness of your sister you would recognize her?" |
12352 | Does she take sides against the girl? |
12352 | Does the United States own one foot of African soil? 12352 Does yer''member Miss Nancy''s Harriet,"asked Aunt Linda,"dat she sole away kase she would n''t let her whip her? |
12352 | Does you know dis place? |
12352 | Even if you would n''t go with us when we left? |
12352 | Go to Africa? |
12352 | Good mornin'', Bob; how''s butter dis mornin''? |
12352 | Good morning,said Leroy, rising and advancing towards him;"how is my ward this morning?" |
12352 | Had you a pleasant journey? |
12352 | Has he? |
12352 | Has she any brothers or sisters? |
12352 | Have you seen her yet? |
12352 | How are you both? 12352 How can you get her away?" |
12352 | How did I know yer? 12352 How did he clear up that charge?" |
12352 | How did he come out? |
12352 | How did she come there? |
12352 | How did you get the papers? |
12352 | How did you succeed? |
12352 | How did you yere it? |
12352 | How do you know it is there? |
12352 | How do you like him? |
12352 | How do you think she will take to her situation? |
12352 | How is yer, ole boy? |
12352 | How long,asked Robert,"do you think it has been since they left here?" |
12352 | How should I, Doctor? 12352 How so?" |
12352 | How so? |
12352 | How was that? 12352 How was that?" |
12352 | How will I get there? |
12352 | How will you do it? |
12352 | How will_ you_ go? |
12352 | How would you like to teach? |
12352 | How''s eggs dis mornin''? |
12352 | How,asked Dr. Gresham,"did you like Dr. Latimer''s paper?" |
12352 | In Europe, Aunt Linda? 12352 In good health?" |
12352 | Is dat de way you foun''her? |
12352 | Is dat so? |
12352 | Is dat so? |
12352 | Is it possible? 12352 Is n''t it funny,"said Robert,"how these white folks look down on colored people, an''then mix up with them?" |
12352 | Is she not faithful to her duties and obedient to your directions? |
12352 | Is she young and handsome, brilliant and witty? 12352 Is she? |
12352 | Is that so? 12352 Is that so? |
12352 | Is that so? |
12352 | Is that the way your old man does you? |
12352 | Mamma, what do you think of that? 12352 Marie, what in the world is the matter with you? |
12352 | Marie,said Robert,"how would you like to leave the South?" |
12352 | Mother, are these people Christians who made these laws which are robbing us of our inheritance and reducing us to slavery? 12352 My dear husband, you may be perfectly right, but are you not preparing our children for a fearful awakening? |
12352 | No; is he good at that? |
12352 | Not at present,said Dr. Gresham;"but may I not hope your friendship will ripen into love?" |
12352 | Now, John Salters,exclaimed Aunt Linda,"ai n''t you''shamed ob yourself? |
12352 | Now, Lindy, ai n''t you ready yet? 12352 Now, would n''t dat hab bin smart ter let on ter you chaps, an''hab you huntin''fer it from Dan ter Barsheba? |
12352 | Oh, Iola,she exclaimed, as her daughter entered,"is this you? |
12352 | Oh, Robert,queried Sybil,"how could he be religious and steal?" |
12352 | Oh, Uncle Daniel, why did n''t you tell us boys all about it? 12352 Oh, mother, what can I do?" |
12352 | Perhaps that''s so, but what are you going to do about it? |
12352 | Robby,she continued,"you''member Miss Nancy''s Jinnie?" |
12352 | She is dead, then? |
12352 | So you wish me to try the faith cure? |
12352 | That is true; and I am not counseling you to be selfish; but, Miss Iola, had you not better look out for yourself? |
12352 | That near? 12352 The officer who escaped from prison and got back to our lines?" |
12352 | Uncle Daniel,asked Robert,"are you still preaching?" |
12352 | Was it not a mistake to have kept you ignorant of your colored blood? |
12352 | Was n''t she religious? |
12352 | Well, Aunt Linda, I suppose by this time you know how to read and write? |
12352 | Well, Aunt Linda, do n''t you wish those good old days would come back? |
12352 | Well, Aunt Linda,said Robert, seating himself near her, and drinking the glass of milk which she had handed him,"how goes the battle? |
12352 | Well, Harry, if you want people to wish you much happiness, why do n''t you do as the doctor has done, get yourself a wife? |
12352 | Well, Iola,said her mother,"what is your skill?" |
12352 | Well, Uncle Daniel,said Robert,"what has that got to do with your going with us and getting your freedom?" |
12352 | Well, chillen, what do you mean to do? |
12352 | Well, what should you keer? |
12352 | Well, when did you see the soldiers? 12352 Well,"said Dr. Gresham,"is all excellence summed up in that branch of the human race?" |
12352 | Well,said Thomas Anderson, turning to Uncle Daniel,"we ca n''t count on yer to go wid us?" |
12352 | Well,said Tom, a little impatiently,"what''s yer gwine to do? |
12352 | Well,said Tom,"ef he lob''d you so much, why did n''t he set you free?" |
12352 | Were you afraid of her? |
12352 | Were you aware of the virulence of caste prejudice and the disabilities which surround the colored people when you cast your lot with them? |
12352 | What about them? |
12352 | What are they? |
12352 | What are they? |
12352 | What are your plans for the future, or have you any? |
12352 | What became of him? |
12352 | What became of them? |
12352 | What did Gundover say? |
12352 | What did Mr. Parker say? |
12352 | What did Uncle Job do? |
12352 | What did he mean? |
12352 | What did he say? |
12352 | What did she do? |
12352 | What did they say? |
12352 | What do you think of Miss Iola? |
12352 | What do you think, Doctor,said Iola,"has he fainted?" |
12352 | What do you think,said Robert, turning to Uncle Daniel;"wo n''t you go with us?" |
12352 | What does Iola say? |
12352 | What does it mean? 12352 What else did the generals say? |
12352 | What in the world are you talking about, Lucille? |
12352 | What is it, Iola? |
12352 | What is it, brother mine? |
12352 | What is it? 12352 What is it?" |
12352 | What is it? |
12352 | What is it? |
12352 | What is that? |
12352 | What is the matter with her? |
12352 | What is the matter with you, Eugene? 12352 What is the matter?" |
12352 | What is the object? |
12352 | What kind of a regiment would you prefer, white or colored? |
12352 | What law, mother? |
12352 | What protection does the colored man receive from the hands of the Government? 12352 What under heaven could have possessed you to do such a foolish thing? |
12352 | What was it? |
12352 | What were you saying? 12352 What will he do about it?" |
12352 | What would mamma say? |
12352 | What''s de news? |
12352 | What''s that? |
12352 | What''s the matter now? |
12352 | What''s to hinder your continuing to think? |
12352 | What, Har''yet, and Robby, an''yer ma? 12352 What, then, is your remedy?" |
12352 | What,said Mrs. Johnson, as we shall call Robert''s mother,"hab become ob Miss Nancy''s husband? |
12352 | Where are the rest of the folks? |
12352 | Where did you see''em? |
12352 | Where do you expect to pitch your tent? |
12352 | Where have you been, Doctor? 12352 Where is Tom?" |
12352 | Where is he? |
12352 | Where is she now? |
12352 | Who tainted it? |
12352 | Who tied them? |
12352 | Who was wronged? |
12352 | Who? |
12352 | Why do you go there? |
12352 | Why do you not battle against public opinion, if you think it is wrong? |
12352 | Why not,asked Dr. Latimer,"write a good, strong book which would be helpful to them? |
12352 | Why not? |
12352 | Why not? |
12352 | Why not? |
12352 | Why not? |
12352 | Why so? |
12352 | Why, Aunt Linda, you never saw a circus? |
12352 | Why, Doctor, what is the matter with you? 12352 Why, Dr. Gresham, is this you?" |
12352 | Why, Eugene, what has come over you? 12352 Why, Iola,"asked Robert,"do n''t you believe in young people having a good time?" |
12352 | Why, Uncle Daniel, did you send anybody to kill me? |
12352 | Why, chile, whar did yer come from? 12352 Why, is it possible,"exclaimed Robert, rising, and shaking hands,"that you are Aunt Linda''s husband?" |
12352 | Why, what have I done,asked Dr. Latimer, in a surprised tone,"that you should impale me on your pen?" |
12352 | Why,asked Dr. Latimer,"should any place be assigned to the negro more than to the French, Irish, or German?" |
12352 | Will you accompany me North? |
12352 | Will you not come in? |
12352 | Will you tell me? |
12352 | With whom? |
12352 | Wo n''t yer hab a glass ob milk? 12352 Yes, darling; do you want to see her?" |
12352 | Yes,said Robert;"while politicians are stumbling on the barren mountains of fretful controversy and asking what shall we do with the negro? |
12352 | Yes,said Tom,"who plants de cotton and raises all de crops?" |
12352 | You are surely not going East again, and leave your mother? |
12352 | You had not forgotten me, then? |
12352 | You have been associating with me at the convention for several days; I do not see that the contact has dragged you down, has it? |
12352 | You have been tried in the fire, but are you not better for the crucial test? |
12352 | You never saw Marie? |
12352 | Your cousin Lorraine? 12352 *****How did you enjoy the evening, Marie?" |
12352 | A startled look stole over Iola''s face, and, lifting her eyes to his, she faltered:--"Do you know her?" |
12352 | A woman as white as she a slave?" |
12352 | Above earth''s pain and sorrow Christ''s dying face I see; I hear the cry of anguish:--"Why hast thou forsaken me?" |
12352 | After all, Alf, is there not an amount of unreason in our prejudices?" |
12352 | Ai n''t yer our Bobby? |
12352 | Ai n''t you got''nuff ob ole Marster, an''ole Marster bin cuttin''you up? |
12352 | Ai n''t you men powerful''ceitful?" |
12352 | Ai n''t you mighty tired? |
12352 | Ai n''t you willing?" |
12352 | Am I presumptuous in hoping that your love will become the crowning joy of my life?" |
12352 | An''I says:''Wat makes you think so?" |
12352 | An''dere''s Uncle Job''s wife; why did n''t she go dat way? |
12352 | An''whar is yer stoppin?" |
12352 | An''what do you think? |
12352 | An''wo n''t he be hoppin''mad when he finds I''m a goner? |
12352 | An''you neber hearn tell ob her sence dey sole her to Georgia?" |
12352 | And have we not been investing our blood in the country for ages?" |
12352 | And how did you come to hear them, Tom?" |
12352 | And now I ask, will you not permit me to clasp hands with you for life? |
12352 | And what did they say to you?" |
12352 | And what do you think her cousin said?" |
12352 | And what would they have been without it?" |
12352 | And when you come to look at it, is n''t it a shame to attempt to reduce that girl to slavery? |
12352 | Are they to blame for it? |
12352 | Are you mad?" |
12352 | Are you not acting on the plan,''After me the deluge?''" |
12352 | Are you not satisfied with the power and possession the law gives you?" |
12352 | Are you sure our interests would be safe in his hands?" |
12352 | Are you thinking of taking priest''s orders?" |
12352 | As the law only allows us one, which is your choice? |
12352 | Bimeby Massa oberseer com''d an''axed,"all bin a workin''libely?" |
12352 | But can nothing be done? |
12352 | But did n''t she step her foot inter it? |
12352 | But how many men would be bound by a sense of honor where the rights of a colored woman are in question? |
12352 | But we are in it, and what can we do?" |
12352 | But what could I do wid my wine ef we did n''t drink it?" |
12352 | But who believes any good can come out of the black Nazareth?" |
12352 | But whom_ are_ you going to marry?" |
12352 | But, Doctor, had you not better defer your love- making till you''re out of the woods?" |
12352 | But, what''s to hinder you from gwine wid us?" |
12352 | Ca n''t you pull a trigger as well as a white man?'' |
12352 | Can you throw any light on the subject?" |
12352 | Can you?" |
12352 | Could a man choose a better place to die?" |
12352 | Could n''t yer come an''stop wid me, or is n''t my house sniptious''nuff?" |
12352 | Did not the whole nation consent to our abasement?" |
12352 | Did you ever hear him pray?" |
12352 | Did you get married since the war?" |
12352 | Did you know Captain Sellers?" |
12352 | Did you know that Captain Sybil was killed in one of the last battles of the war? |
12352 | Did you see dat nice little cabin down dere wid de green shutters an''nice little garden in front? |
12352 | Do n''t it look nice and clar? |
12352 | Do n''t yer''member him?" |
12352 | Do n''t you feel well?" |
12352 | Do n''t you know if my father were here he would crush you to the earth?" |
12352 | Do n''t you know that these beautiful girls have been the curse of our homes? |
12352 | Do n''t you think that there is a large field of usefulness before him?" |
12352 | Do n''t you think the bride looked lovely, with that dress of spotless white and with those orange blossoms in her hair?" |
12352 | Do n''t you think your life- work will be better done if some one shares it with you?" |
12352 | Do n''t you yere dat singin''? |
12352 | Do n''t you''member dem meetins we used to hab in de woods? |
12352 | Do yo''member Miss Nancy''s fardder?" |
12352 | Do you know de las''time I seed yer? |
12352 | Do you know her?" |
12352 | Do you know of whom I speak?" |
12352 | Do you know what he wanted Marster to do''fore he died?" |
12352 | Do you never get lonesome?" |
12352 | Do you remember Uncle Daniel?" |
12352 | Do you remember telling me about your mother and brother?" |
12352 | Do you think these things will last forever?" |
12352 | Doctor, tell me how it is? |
12352 | Doctor, was it a dream, or was it a reality? |
12352 | Does not true patriotism demand that citizenship should be as much protected in Christian America as it was in heathen Rome?" |
12352 | Does you''member Jake Williams an''Gundover''s Tom? |
12352 | Dugdale,"do you feel in reference to our people''s condition in the South?" |
12352 | Finally, he asked how they did it? |
12352 | For ages of poverty, ignorance, and slavery? |
12352 | From whence do your fears arise?" |
12352 | Had father no friends who would assist us?" |
12352 | Had grief dethroned her reason? |
12352 | Had that army, with freedom emblazoned on its banners, come at last to offer them deliverance if they would accept it? |
12352 | Had you not better apply for a patent?" |
12352 | Has our name been a synonym for contempt? |
12352 | Has she come?" |
12352 | Has the negro been poor and homeless? |
12352 | Have we been beaten and bruised in the prison- house of bondage? |
12352 | Have we been despised and trodden under foot? |
12352 | Have we been ignorant and unlearned? |
12352 | Have we been slaughtered, our bones scattered at the graves''mouth? |
12352 | Have you been successful?" |
12352 | Have you had a presentiment of my death, or, as Uncle Jack says,''hab you seed it in a vision?''" |
12352 | He opened the door quietly and whispered:--"Anything new, Tom?" |
12352 | How about dinner, mother?" |
12352 | How could her marriage be set aside and her children robbed of their inheritance? |
12352 | How dare I dream of happiness when my poor mamma''s heart may be slowly breaking? |
12352 | How did it happen?" |
12352 | How did you get along after she died?" |
12352 | How did you hear it, Tom? |
12352 | How did you know me?" |
12352 | How does yer do? |
12352 | How have we dealt with them both? |
12352 | How have you been all this time, and where?" |
12352 | How have you been getting on since freedom?" |
12352 | How have you succeeded?" |
12352 | How is you, chile?" |
12352 | How is your company getting on?" |
12352 | How long have I been here?" |
12352 | How long is yer gwine to stay? |
12352 | How should he reveal himself to her? |
12352 | How will you answer that in the Day of Judgment?''" |
12352 | How''s all yore folks in de up kentry?" |
12352 | How?" |
12352 | I do wish that you would tell me why you take this unprecedented step?" |
12352 | I do wonder what has become of the boys? |
12352 | I wonder whom I can take with me?" |
12352 | I_ do_ wonder what has become of her? |
12352 | If my mother was lawfully married, how could they deprive her of her marital rights?" |
12352 | In telling you this, do you not, can you not, see that there is an insurmountable barrier between us?" |
12352 | Iola, did you ever attend an anti- slavery meeting?" |
12352 | Iola, will you not grant me the privilege of holding this hand as mine all through the future of our lives? |
12352 | Is dat my pore, dear boy I''se been prayin''''bout all dese years? |
12352 | Is he still a libin''?" |
12352 | Is it one of those beautiful Creole girls who were visiting Augustine''s plantation last winter? |
12352 | Is it somethin''good for us?" |
12352 | Is it your pleasure that the poem be read at this stage of our proceedings, or later on?" |
12352 | Is not the most arrant Rebel to- day more acceptable to you than the most faithful colored man?" |
12352 | Is that so?" |
12352 | Is yer gwine wid us, ef yer gits a chance?" |
12352 | It is not natural for people to run away from happiness, and if they are so happy and contented, why did Congress pass the Fugitive Slave Bill?" |
12352 | It was said of Jesus Christ,''How knoweth this man letters, never having learned?'' |
12352 | Leroy?" |
12352 | Look yere, honey, whar did yer come from? |
12352 | Might not sudden joy do what years of sorrow had failed to accomplish? |
12352 | Most of our people take life easily-- why should n''t you?" |
12352 | Nothing of the absent but good?" |
12352 | Now that I have told you my story, what say you?" |
12352 | Now, Captain, ai n''t I right?" |
12352 | Now, own up, Robby, did n''t you feel kine ob mean to go off widout eben biddin''her good bye? |
12352 | Now, what are we to do with them?" |
12352 | Now, what would I say if they all consent?" |
12352 | Oh, children of the tropics, Amid our pain and wrong Have you no other mission Than music, dance, and song? |
12352 | Robby, honey, does you really b''lieve for good and righty dat dem Yankees is got horns?" |
12352 | Robert lay quiet and thoughtful for awhile and, seeing he was wakeful, Iola said,"Have you any friends to whom you would like to send a letter?" |
12352 | Shadows that you merely dread?" |
12352 | She caught sight of the drooping head and grief- stricken face, and rushed to her, exclaiming:--"Whar''s Marse Eugene?" |
12352 | She sez,''Den you wo n''t want ter work for us?'' |
12352 | Tenderly and sadly bending over him, with tears in her dark, luminous eyes, she said,"Is there anything I can do for you?" |
12352 | That morning I came down into the kitchen and asked Linda,''Where''s Robert? |
12352 | Then I noticed a marked resemblance between him and Harry, and I thought,''Suppose he should prove to be your long- lost brother?'' |
12352 | Then growing calmer, she said,"Mother, who is at the bottom of this downright robbery?" |
12352 | Then suddenly raising his head, he exclaimed,"Boys, there''s not one of you loves freedom more than I do, but--""But what?" |
12352 | There was a faint quiver of indignation in Aunt Linda''s voice, as she replied:--"Do n''t yer want yer freedom? |
12352 | To whom to- day is the world most indebted-- to its millionaires or to its martyrs?" |
12352 | Today your friendship springs from compassion, but, when that subsides, might you not look on me as an inferior?" |
12352 | War you much hurt? |
12352 | Was it a bright, beautiful dream, or a blessed reality soon to be grasped by his willing hands? |
12352 | Was it not true that the cause of a hapless people had become entangled with the lightnings of heaven, and dragged down retribution upon the land? |
12352 | Was n''t I always good to you?" |
12352 | Was that so? |
12352 | Wat fer you take me? |
12352 | Well, which is your choice?" |
12352 | Whar did yer ketch up wid her?" |
12352 | Whar did you git any niece from?" |
12352 | What are you doing now, and where are you living?" |
12352 | What are your plans?" |
12352 | What can any woman do when she is placed in the hands of an irresponsible master; when she knows that resistance is vain? |
12352 | What can keep them so long?" |
12352 | What could a set of unarmed and undisciplined men do against the fearful odds which beset their path? |
12352 | What did it mean? |
12352 | What did she mean? |
12352 | What has that got to do with associating with niggers?" |
12352 | What is to hinder you from sharing my Northern home, from having my mother to be your mother?" |
12352 | What matters it if they do forget the singer, so they do n''t forget the song? |
12352 | What under heaven possessed you to do such a thing?" |
12352 | What will you do?" |
12352 | What, under heaven, are they fighting for? |
12352 | When Robert''s mother observed Iola, she said to Robert,"Is dis yore wife?" |
12352 | When through the weary ages Our dripping tears still fall, Is this a time to dally With pleasure''s silken thrall? |
12352 | When will you leave?" |
12352 | Where are they? |
12352 | Where are they?" |
12352 | Where did you learn it?" |
12352 | Where do you stop?" |
12352 | Where else should I be? |
12352 | Where is Gracie?" |
12352 | Where is_ your_ mother now?" |
12352 | Where shall I call?" |
12352 | Where should he go if he left this country?" |
12352 | Where was he educated?" |
12352 | Where will you have it?" |
12352 | Where''s that?" |
12352 | Which is your choice? |
12352 | Who is de gemmen, ennyhow?" |
12352 | Who is his patient now?" |
12352 | Who is the fortunate lady who has bound you with her silken fetters? |
12352 | Who was she, and who were her people? |
12352 | Why do n''t you study theology?" |
12352 | Why has n''t he set the table?'' |
12352 | Why not let well enough alone?" |
12352 | Why not quit this company, and take your place in the army just the same as a white man? |
12352 | Why should she refuse these desirable boons? |
12352 | Why should we yield to its behests?" |
12352 | Why subject yourself to the same experience again?" |
12352 | Will you send her this?" |
12352 | Wo n''t you get a pair of spectacles and learn to read?" |
12352 | Would the most cruel heathen do worse?" |
12352 | Would you be satisfied to have the most beautiful home, the costliest jewels, or the most elegant wardrobe if you were a slave?" |
12352 | Would you be willing to take a school among these people? |
12352 | Would you like to enlist?" |
12352 | You bin dar?" |
12352 | You got my letter?" |

38029 | And what shall_ I_ be about while you are doing the pulling? 38029 And where are you minded to stroll on this charming afternoon when everybody else is glad to sit in a snug room and take a Saturday rest?" |
38029 | And who is Mammy, may I inquire? |
38029 | Are n''t we here to be done with after that showing? |
38029 | Are n''t you Mrs. Carruth''s little girl? |

38029 | But how''bout dis hyer pol''cy? 38029 But suppose we are able to sell the old place?" |
38029 | But what did you wish to ask me, Mammy? |
38029 | But where was Mike, and what was he doing all that time to_ let_ you do such a thing? |
38029 | But who will_ pay_ for him? 38029 But you surely do n''t want_ all_ that?" |
38029 | But you''ll tell me before_ next_ Saturday, wo n''t you? 38029 But, mother, suppose no one will take old Baltie and give him a home?" |
38029 | But_ how_ did you get Baltie and, greater marvel,_ how_ did you bring him all this way home? |
38029 | Can we buy some? |
38029 | Carruth? 38029 Could n''t you have yo''name whar de Merry Christmas stan''at an''''candies''whar de bong bongs is?" |

38029 | Did you? 38029 Do you happen to know which part of the South you come from?" |
38029 | Do you know what I believe I''ll do? |
38029 | Do you object to telling me just what you wish to do and why you need an office? |
38029 | Do you think it would hurt her to go, Eleanor? |
38029 | Do you want to quite spoil me? |
38029 | Do? 38029 Does Mammy think for the family?" |
38029 | Done wid_ what_? |

38029 | Have you brought the necessary papers with you? 38029 Honey, what I tol''yo''? |
38029 | How about little white moire paper boxes with some pretty flower on the cover? |
38029 | How about those pretty Japanese boxes they have at Bailey''s? |
38029 | How are you this morning? 38029 How could it be an intrusion under the circumstances? |
38029 | How long may he stay there without being killed? 38029 How much am I bid for this garden set? |
38029 | How much are they? |
38029 | How much? |

38029 | Hum; Um: What''s I t''inkin''of? 38029 I do n''t believe you understood what I said, did you?" |
38029 | I guess after all it_ is n''t_ a good afternoon, is it? 38029 I say, what did this fellow do to you, little girl?" |
38029 | Is Miss Jinny the older sister who manufactures that delicious candy? |
38029 | Is mother willing? 38029 Is n''t he a_ dear_, mother, to take so much trouble for me? |
38029 | Is n''t he splendid, mother? |
38029 | Is that the place where they_ kill_ them? 38029 Is yo''here, Miss Jinny? |
38029 | Is yo''writ yo''letter ter him? 38029 It seems to have been interrupted already, does it not? |
38029 | Jean, what do you mean? |
38029 | Lend me some cash, Bob? |
38029 | Little girl, are you from the South? |
38029 | Mammy Blairsdale? |
38029 | Mammy, dear, Listen here, Is n''t this a lark? 38029 Mammy_ what_?" |
38029 | Merciful powers, what_ has_ the child done now? |
38029 | Miss Jinny, is dat de solemn prar- book truf? |
38029 | Must you tell her? |
38029 | Must you? 38029 Ned can, ca n''t he, Professor?" |
38029 | Night errand? 38029 No so''les? |
38029 | Not really? |
38029 | Not two yards of any one pattern? 38029 Now, Constance, what are you planning? |
38029 | Now, young lady, by- the- way, do you mind letting me know your name? 38029 O, but what_ will_ mother say? |
38029 | Oh, Baltie, dear, dear Baltie, how did you get out of your stable and come way off here? |
38029 | Oh, Mammy, did you_ sell_ some? |
38029 | Oh, am I? 38029 Oh, are you playing foot- ball? |
38029 | Oh, did you buy those pieces of matting? |
38029 | Oh, may I give him just_ one_ pat before we go? |
38029 | Oh,_ where_ are you going to take him, please? |
38029 | Oh,_ why did_ you get up to meet me? 38029 Perhaps we would,"agreed Eleanor,"but where will we go if we give up the home? |
38029 | Seriously, Constance, what have you thought of doing, dear? |
38029 | Shall I have the men lead him up to your barn? |
38029 | Somebody gwine tek away dat old horse dat yo''love, an''breck yo''heart? 38029 Strike her? |
38029 | Then why do n''t you add my part? |
38029 | Then you_ will_ let me go to East Riveredge with the candy? |
38029 | Wal, what_ would_ ye do to''em, heh? |
38029 | Wal,''spose he does; what then? 38029 Was there ever such a philosopher as Mammy?" |
38029 | Well, since it is a space we never thought to rent anyway, and could n''t use for anything else if we wished to, suppose we say five dollars a month? 38029 Well, you let me answer that question day after to- morrow, Mumsey? |
38029 | Well_ two_ of us have settled upon our plan of action, now what are_ you_ going to do, Connie? 38029 Wha'', wha'', wha'', yo say, suh?" |
38029 | Wha'', wha'', wha'', yo''say, Baby? |

38029 | What are you hiding under your cape? |
38029 | What are you thinking of Mammy? |
38029 | What can I do for you, young lady? |
38029 | What can I do? 38029 What did she do with her apples? |
38029 | What do_ you_ suggest for my boxes, mother? |
38029 | What do_ you_ think of it, Mammy? |
38029 | What er? 38029 What is burning, I wonder?" |
38029 | What is it, Mammy? 38029 What is it, Mammy?" |
38029 | What is it? 38029 What is the use of asking that? |
38029 | What''ll I do to him? 38029 What''s de matter, honey? |
38029 | What_ is_ the use of being so ridiculously high and mighty? 38029 When are you going to begin this enterprise?" |
38029 | Where has he been all these years, mother, that we have never met him in Riveredge? |
38029 | Where in this world have_ you_ sprung from? 38029 Where is Mammy? |
38029 | Where_ do_ you get hold of those awful expressions, Jean? 38029 Who said I had any notion of leaving school? |
38029 | Who sesso? |
38029 | Who''n thunder air you? |
38029 | Whom? 38029 Why not have an auction then? |
38029 | Why not, I''d like to know? |
38029 | Why nothing to_ you_? 38029 Why what in this world would you do with it if you_ did_? |
38029 | Will you? 38029 Would it not be kinder to end such a hapless existence than to leave it to an uncertain fate, dear?" |
38029 | Wul, why do n''t ye go home then? |
38029 | Yas, Baltie hawse, what dat chile been doin''wid yo''? |
38029 | Yes? 38029 Yo''s a Blairsdale?" |

38029 | _ One dollar!_ Did I hear right? 38029 _ What_, Mammy consent to a Blairsdale going into trade?" |
38029 | _ You_ do n''t know what all the fuss is about, and why Mammy is waiting to give me Hail Columbia? |
38029 | ''Taint so very much worn, is it? |
38029 | ''Tis elergant, ai nt it? |
38029 | Ai n''t I free? |
38029 | Ai nt he mine? |

38029 | An''yo''gwine pertec''him an''keer fer him in his discrepancy? |
38029 | And I really_ have_ got''most five dollars, and would_ that_ be enough for another week?" |
38029 | And now_ you_ want to quit school and go to work? |
38029 | And oh,_ how_ did the auction turn out, mother? |
38029 | And what is the matter? |
38029 | And you think of opening a_ stand_?" |
38029 | Are n''t we_ just right_, Mammy? |
38029 | Are you going to sell this set of furniture? |
38029 | Are you planning to sell candy? |
38029 | Are you the superintendent of the building?" |
38029 | Are you thinkin''of taking out a policy?" |
38029 | Are you_ all_ safe? |
38029 | Are your Pegasus Ponies as profitable?" |
38029 | Are your photos ready to paste on''em?" |
38029 | As he turned to go back a man who occupied a cigar stand near the door nodded and said with a laugh:"Got a new tenant, Mr. Porter? |
38029 | As they drew near the stairway, Miss Willing glanced up, gave an indifferent nod in answer to Constance''s"How do you do, Miss Willing?" |
38029 | Baltie?" |
38029 | Baltie?'' |
38029 | Bernard Carruth''s daughter? |
38029 | But I fear I shall intrude upon you?" |
38029 | But I wonder what it''ll bring? |
38029 | But I''se gotter settle up dis policy fer de fambly so what is it? |
38029 | But how? |
38029 | But is supper almost ready? |
38029 | But since you love horses so dearly, wo n''t you run and give Comet a lump of sugar? |
38029 | But this house must be an awful expense, ai n''t it? |
38029 | But what do you want?" |
38029 | But where are you going?" |
38029 | But yo''ai nt gwine stan''behin''de counter is yo''? |
38029 | But you have n''t asked me what I''m going to charge you for your booth?" |
38029 | By- the- way, apropos of horses, what_ has_ Mammy done to poor old Baltie? |
38029 | By- the- way, how did you get on at the school to- day? |
38029 | CHAPTER II"Baltie""When he''s forsaken Withered and shaken What can an old_ horse_ Do but die?" |
38029 | CHAPTER IV Baltie is Rescued"How old are you, little lassie?" |

38029 | Can I trust you?" |
38029 | Can you tear yourself away from your messes long enough to come up to the attic with me? |
38029 | Carruth?" |
38029 | Come now, out with it--_didn''t_ he?" |
38029 | Connie?" |
38029 | Could''n''de collapse be hild up twell den?" |
38029 | Crowding about the phaeton they asked:"Who makes the candy? |
38029 | De house gwine burn down on top our haids?" |
38029 | Dear, dear, how times have changed, have n''t they? |
38029 | Did n''t Jabe Raulsbury say dat anybody what would tek keer of him could_ have_ him? |
38029 | Did she strike in self- defense?" |
38029 | Did you find him?" |
38029 | Did you get out that mirror that belonged to your great- grandmother?" |
38029 | Did you have time to go and see the prospective ones this afternoon? |
38029 | Did you make''em? |
38029 | Did_ you_ make them? |
38029 | Did_ you_ make''em?" |
38029 | Do n''t I b''long ter de fambly? |
38029 | Do n''t you have to pay board for horses just like people pay their board?" |
38029 | Do n''t you think I ought really to pay more? |
38029 | Do n''t you think that would be a good plan?" |
38029 | Do you always sell it? |
38029 | Do you know him?" |
38029 | Do you mean to tell me''taint all alike?" |
38029 | Do you think I''ll_ ever_ sell it?" |
38029 | Do you think I''m going to miss any of the treat? |
38029 | Do you understand?" |
38029 | Do? |
38029 | Does she make it herself? |
38029 | Does yer want ter kitch yo''deaf cold?" |
38029 | Don''seem right fer a comp''ny ter put sich a boy as yo''is in sich a''sponsible''sition, do it now?" |
38029 | Excitement sharpens one''s appetite does n''t it? |
38029 | Fine day, is n''t it?" |
38029 | Flingin''my earnin''s''way? |
38029 | For a few moments no one had a suggestion to offer, then Constance cried:"Mother could n''t we_ sell_ a good many of the things? |
38029 | For de Lawd''s sake wha''dat chile been at now, an''we all cl''ar''stracted''bout her? |
38029 | Forty hours fer de mile?" |

38029 | Goin''to let us have another pretty girl to talk to?" |
38029 | Guess one of us better go along with her had n''t we, Ned?" |
38029 | Has she to you? |
38029 | Have we a record in this office?" |
38029 | Have you saved your ma''s clothes? |
38029 | Have you taken leave of your senses, child?" |
38029 | Have you thought about that?" |
38029 | He was at the gate when I drove up, and what do you think he did? |
38029 | He_ would''nt_ have had to say''Whom? |
38029 | How about_ you_?" |
38029 | How am I ever going to pay for it though? |
38029 | How are you flourishing, Nornie? |
38029 | How came she to do such a thing?" |
38029 | How came you there?" |
38029 | How could Jabe Raulsbury have been so utterly heartless?" |
38029 | How did you happen to hear us?" |
38029 | How far have you come? |
38029 | How is_ that_ for a frolic? |
38029 | How much did I sell last Saturday and how much to- day?" |
38029 | How much does Hadyn Stuyvesant ask you for it anyway? |
38029 | How much is I gotter pay yo''?" |
38029 | How much were the packages of candy? |
38029 | How old are you now?" |
38029 | How would you like to share your quarters with this enterprising young lady? |
38029 | How''s_ that_ for a little thoroughbred?" |
38029 | How- de- do, Auntie? |
38029 | How_ could_ I?" |
38029 | Huccum dat old horse here?" |
38029 | I call that pretty good for a ten- year- old business woman, do n''t you, Mumsey, dear?" |
38029 | I know my candy is good,''cause if it was n''t Mammy could not sell it so easily, and--""Candy? |
38029 | I''m half- starved? |
38029 | I''ve been to East Riveredge with the candy--""_ What_ candy, Jean? |
38029 | I_ know_ she will,"wailed Constance, as a man ran across the hall calling:"Miss Carruth, Miss Constance, where are you? |
38029 | If any one had been found to take him he_ would n''t_ have been there yet, would he? |
38029 | If you''re to be a coach- woman you''ve got to have some sort of an equine creature to hustle along, have n''t you? |
38029 | Is dat so? |
38029 | Is dat so?" |
38029 | Is he coming to get him? |
38029 | Is n''t she a marvel? |
38029 | Is n''t that right and fair, Mammy?" |
38029 | Is n''t that right, Mammy? |
38029 | Is she know yo'', suh?" |
38029 | Is this his horse? |
38029 | Is this your horse?" |
38029 | Is yo''busy? |
38029 | Is yo''see her?" |
38029 | Is your mother here?" |
38029 | Is_ he_ de agen''?" |
38029 | Is_ that_ why she struck you?" |
38029 | It is a pretty wet, horrid one, and not a very nice one to be out in, is it?" |
38029 | It is always easier to talk business when seated, do n''t you think so?" |
38029 | It will make you happier to know he will be comfortable for a little while any way, wo n''t it?" |
38029 | It''s old Baltie; do n''t you know him? |
38029 | It_ does_ seem a shame to sell''em, do n''t it now? |
38029 | Jean told it from beginning to end, and ended by demanding:"Do n''t you really, truly, know anything about the candy Constance is making to sell?" |
38029 | Jis''tell me dat?" |
38029 | Just going? |
38029 | Madam Carruth, as she was often called, shook her niece''s hand, looked at her keenly for a moment and then said:"My stars, Jenny, what ails you? |
38029 | Mek a Blairsdale''ceited?" |
38029 | Miss Nornie would n''t never in de roun''worl''do_ dat_, would she, honey? |
38029 | Mr. Porter laughed in spite of himself, then sobering down again asked:"Have you time to come back to my office? |
38029 | Mrs. Carruth rested her cheek upon it as she replied:"What should I do without my girls? |
38029 | Mrs. Carruth turned toward her and asked with a quizzical smile;"What is spoiling, Mammy?" |
38029 | My goodness, is n''t that a lot? |
38029 | My niece has always been considered a most amiable woman, has n''t she? |
38029 | My, does n''t that sound business- like? |
38029 | Nornie, do n''t you wish_ you''d_ taken to a commercial rather than a professional life? |
38029 | Not Bernard Carruth''s daughter?" |
38029 | Now can I go out?" |
38029 | Now comes the fire insurance settlement and the interest on that wo n''t be over seven hundred at the outside, will it?" |
38029 | Now do you? |
38029 | Now whar in de name o''man_ is_ yo''been ter?" |
38029 | Now what am I offered for this roll of fine Japanese matting? |
38029 | Now what is the first step?" |
38029 | Now, she ca n''t possibly_ feed_, let alone clothe, us for less than twenty dollars a week, can she? |
38029 | Now, suh, who is_ yo''_?" |
38029 | Now_ what_ did you say Haydn Stuyvesant charged you for this house?" |
38029 | O_ where_ is Mammy?" |
38029 | Of this he speedily became aware, and looking at her keenly he asked:"Have you ever eaten any of the old Auntie''s candy? |
38029 | Oh, how long have you been here? |
38029 | Oh, what shall I do for you? |
38029 | One dollar for at least fifteen yards of perfectly new Japanese matting? |
38029 | Placing her arms upon her hips, and raising her head like a war- horse scenting battle, Mammy stamped her foot and cried:"Step down an''out? |
38029 | Porter?" |
38029 | Punch his head?" |
38029 | Say, Professor, do you really know her folks? |
38029 | Say, do n''t you think them Carruths were just a little mite extravagant? |
38029 | Say, where did yer git him?" |
38029 | See her?" |
38029 | She jist a projectin'', ai n''t she?" |
38029 | She was about to turn away when Jean made her way through the crowd to her side crying:"Did you really get them, Miss Pike? |
38029 | She was very white and asked almost breathlessly,"Girls, girls, is anyone hurt? |
38029 | Should it be rebuilt with the money to be paid by the insurance company, or should it be sold? |
38029 | Smack her kase she done plague yo'', or praise her kase she doin''her bes''fer ter mek t''ings go a little mite easier fer her ma?" |
38029 | So dey ai n''t gwine_ trus''_ you, Baby? |
38029 | So yo''want me fer ter state mine an''cl''ar long out, does yo''Mr.''Lijah? |
38029 | Sometimes we would rather sacrifice our time than our temper, do n''t you think so?" |
38029 | Sort o''fits yo''pine blank, don''it now? |
38029 | Stuyvesant?" |
38029 | Stuyvesant?" |
38029 | Successful business women and a firm of which you are proud to be a member? |
38029 | Surely you wo n''t leave Riveredge? |
38029 | That is the set mother felt so bad about selling, is n''t it, Connie?" |
38029 | That leaves fourteen hundred wherewith to feed and clothe five people, does n''t it? |
38029 | That one with the bronze bird on it, see?" |
38029 | The former slight might have been disregarded; the latter? |
38029 | The lad laughed and raising his hand stroked the warm neck as he said:"Found a friend at last, old boy? |
38029 | The superintendent noticing her hesitancy said kindly:"Wo n''t you be seated? |
38029 | Then she asked:"Am I to refrain from making inquiries?" |

38029 | When we were talking about selling these things she almost cried when she spoke about the garden tools and the lamp----""_ What_ lamp, child? |

55813 | ''Tis I, Lindy, do n''t you know my voice? |
55813 | ''Well,''say she,''where is Jake? 55813 ''What fur den you do?'' |
55813 | ''What, you ai n''t gwine nigh it?'' 55813 ''Will you see Ann for me? |
55813 | Ai n''t dey our Massers, and habn''t dey dar own way in ebery ting? |
55813 | Am I my brother''s keeper? |
55813 | Amy, too? |
55813 | Amy,said I, as I rubbed my eyes, to dissipate the film and mists of sleep,"is it very late? |
55813 | And is this you, Charles Allen? |
55813 | And neither of you will ever become the owner of slaves? |
55813 | And what''s wicked in selling a nigger? |
55813 | And where are you going, John? |
55813 | And who sent them? |
55813 | And why should n''t she? |
55813 | And why? |
55813 | And why? |
55813 | And you think she will do you an injury? |
55813 | Ann, did you never hear of the Abolition Society? |
55813 | Ann, is it you? |
55813 | Ann, you are not happy here? |
55813 | Ann,she cried out,"tell me what''s de matter? |
55813 | Are we going to- morrow? |
55813 | Are you one of the Seven Sleepers, that it requires such knocking to arouse you? 55813 Are you sold?" |
55813 | Beaten for what? |
55813 | But are they as free? |
55813 | But did you not want me to get well, Amy? |
55813 | But have we not, each of us, an influence? |
55813 | But have you not forestalled that by telling Henry who she is, and how she has acted toward you? |
55813 | But how is Aunt Polly? 55813 But is it right for us to be so? |
55813 | But tell me, doctor,he added,"do n''t you think he is growin''stronger?" |
55813 | But think of her,he said tenderly, laying his hand on my shoulder;"what can she do without us, or what should I be without her?" |
55813 | But whar is that d----d old hussy? 55813 But where is she?" |
55813 | But who is he? |
55813 | But who will watch with Aunt Polly? |
55813 | But will you keep your promise? |
55813 | But you see I am talking now,and I could not resist a smile;"have you been nursing me?" |
55813 | But, say, Ann, ken I iver git de chilen back? 55813 Could anything induce you to part with it?" |
55813 | Could not the poor class of whites go there and work for wages? |
55813 | Dead? 55813 Den why did you ax me if I wanted to larn to read?" |
55813 | Dey ai n''t sold? |
55813 | Did n''t yer ax him in, hussy? |
55813 | Did she do that? 55813 Did she want to go?" |
55813 | Did they treat you kindly there? |
55813 | Did you ever see a magnolia before? |
55813 | Did you hear that? |
55813 | Do de free colored folks live like de whites? |
55813 | Do n''t yer want to go South? 55813 Do n''t you know her by sight?" |
55813 | Do the night- sweats continue? |
55813 | Do yer charge extry for leeching, doctor? |
55813 | Do you believe the girl''s story? |
55813 | Do you know aught of this? |
55813 | Do you know him, Miss Nancy? |
55813 | Do you know, pa, that Johnny is an Abolitionist? |
55813 | Do you promise most faithfully? |
55813 | Doctor,and I spoke with great timidity,"is she so ill? |
55813 | Does he love you? |
55813 | Does he receive any hire for your services at this hotel? |
55813 | Does he sit up now? |
55813 | Does master know it? |
55813 | Does n''t this make you miserable? |
55813 | Does not the north star point us to our future home? |
55813 | Does she? |
55813 | Does there really exist such a society; or is it only a wild fable that you tell me, for the purpose of allaying my present agony? |
55813 | Exceptions, indeed, they are; but why? |
55813 | Father, father,said Miss Matilda, who until now had kept an austere silence,"why will you persist in this outrageous talk? |
55813 | Father,and she spoke through her clenched teeth,"what makes you affect this horrid vulgarity? |
55813 | For what are you to be tried? |
55813 | Funny is it, father, for your child to love mercy, and deal justly, even with the lowliest? |
55813 | Gal,he said, addressing me,"whar''s yer master?" |
55813 | Has every place been searched? |
55813 | Has n''t a negro human feeling? |
55813 | Has she no counsel? |
55813 | Has she told where they are? |
55813 | Has you bin bought, Miss? |
55813 | Has you hearn anything, Ann? |
55813 | Has you hearn de news? |
55813 | Have I done anything, Miss Jane? |
55813 | Have I not tasted of the worst of life? 55813 Have you baked a pretty cake, and got plenty of nice confections ready to give Henry a celebration supper, good Biddy?" |
55813 | Have you coughed much? |
55813 | Have you got any lawyer? |
55813 | Have you heard who will buy me? |
55813 | How came he to admit you? |
55813 | How dare you, Miss, speak_ to me_ in that tone? 55813 How does he look?" |
55813 | How far is it from here to the river? |
55813 | How have you made the money? |
55813 | How long have I been sick? 55813 How long have you been free, Louise, and how did you obtain your freedom?" |
55813 | How long since you saw her? |
55813 | How long will Christians willingly resist the known truth? 55813 How often do you have sales?" |
55813 | How? 55813 I did not speak of marrying at all; and might I not be an advocate of universal liberty, without believing in amalgamation? |
55813 | I do n''t know? |
55813 | I suppose your fare is miserable? |
55813 | I wonder who Masser will send fur her? 55813 If you want children, I think we can supply you,"said Miss Jane, and, looking round, she asked,"Where are Amy and her sisters?" |
55813 | In the name of h-- ll and its fires, niggers, what does this mean? 55813 In what way and what fur you wake me up?" |
55813 | Is He in dis room? |
55813 | Is he any worse? |
55813 | Is it possible? 55813 Is it wise for us thus to silence our sympathies?" |
55813 | Is master getting well? |
55813 | Is much the matter? |
55813 | Is she willing? |
55813 | Is that all? |
55813 | Is that,I cried,"a prophet warning? |
55813 | Is there no white person about the place? |
55813 | Is there one of''em here? 55813 Is this a magnolia?" |
55813 | Is yer name Ann? |
55813 | Is, then,I asked myself,"all expressed humanity but idle gibberish? |
55813 | It''s me, Polly; what you be''bout dar, dat you do n''t let me in? |
55813 | La, Aunt Polly, is Lindy gone? |
55813 | Law, chile, is dat you stannin''in de dor? 55813 Live years away from you? |
55813 | Look here, nigger- wench, does you think to spile the sale of property in that ar''way? 55813 Mercy, Louise, what''s the matter?" |
55813 | My name is Charles, what is yours? |
55813 | No, indeed; am I among the lot? |
55813 | No, only humane; but have I not seen enough to make me morbid? |
55813 | Not precisely that either; but, granting, for the sake of hypothesis only, that slavery is a wrong, what good would all my arguments do? 55813 Now who is yer? |
55813 | Now, Henry Graham, are we men? 55813 Now, is it not strange that you should have been an object of such especial interest to both of us? |
55813 | Now, sister, ai n''t you ashamed to flatter me so? |
55813 | Now, where are they,_ liar_? |
55813 | Of course I will not; but do n''t you remember that it was your falsehood that gained for me the only post- whipping that I ever had? |
55813 | Of what State are you a native, Miss Nancy? |
55813 | Oh Lord, chile, I kan''t belieb it; fur, if he loves us, why does he make us suffer so, an''let de white folks hab such an easy time? |
55813 | Oh, Ann, have you come with the water? 55813 Oh, Lord, how much longer must these poor people be tried in the furnace of affliction? |
55813 | Oh, Masser, wo n''t you please buy me? |
55813 | Oh, child,she begun,"can you wid yer pretty yallow face kiss an old pitch- black nigger like me?" |
55813 | Oh, dat is funny; but say, sir, whar is my chile? 55813 Oh, is Aunt Polly any sicker?" |
55813 | Oh, laws, chile, what hab us to do wid der Christians? 55813 Oh, please give me some, only a little; I''m nearly starved?" |
55813 | Oh, please, Kitty, will you have dis basket, dis whistle, and dese putty buttons, sent out to Mr. John Jones'', to my ole''ooman Judy?'' 55813 Oh, psha,''taint no use ob talkin wid you, for you is good; but kum, tell me, is dey mad wid me in de house, and did dey say dey would beat me?" |

55813 | Oh, yes, you black rascal, you wants some ob my fust- rate whiskey, does you? 55813 Oh,"cried Lindy,"can I git to see young master before I start? |
55813 | Oh,thought I, when left alone,"am I sold to that monster? |
55813 | Oh,thought I,"is there no mercy throned on high? |
55813 | Or why,he would answer, as his dark eye grew intensely black,"were our ancestors ever stolen from Africa?" |
55813 | Poor Luce-- is dat Luce? |
55813 | Pray, where did you learn that slave- holders ever made such a concession? 55813 Robert Worth? |
55813 | Say, Peterkin, ken you lend me a wagen to take''em over to my pen? |
55813 | See Naples and die, eh? |
55813 | Sisters,continued young master,"will you promise to urge or offer no objection to the furtherance of this sacred wish of your dying brother?" |
55813 | So late? 55813 Step up here to this gentleman, Amy, and say how would you like him for a master?" |
55813 | Suppose father had been here; what do you think he would have said? |
55813 | Tell me what has happened since I have been sick? |
55813 | Tell me, who found him, after-- after-- after_ the murder_? |
55813 | Then tell me what occasioned Amy''s death? 55813 They did not beat you?" |
55813 | To the trader? |
55813 | Wal, Ann,he said, as he swung himself back in his chair,"how''s ole Poll?" |
55813 | Wal, haint I right for to''tect my ole''oman? |
55813 | Wal, then,he said, after finding she would yield to no argument,"have n''t you none others you can let me have? |
55813 | Wal, whar is I to begin? 55813 Wal,"he said, half aloud,"whar is the use of my darters takin''on in the way they does? |
55813 | Was he a good master? |
55813 | Well, Ann, what do you want? |
55813 | Well, Elsy,she cried, when she met that little- respected personage,"Have any more''colored ladies''called during our absence?" |
55813 | Well, what business have you here? |

55813 | What rhubarb, senna, or what purgative drug would scourthe slaveholder''s nature of harshness and brutality? |
55813 | What right has you to think anything''bout it? |

55813 | Why? 55813 Will I, though? |
55813 | Will Mr. Monkton''s testimony be taken? |
55813 | Will it do me any good? |
55813 | Will my death- hour ever come? |
55813 | Will scenes like these ever cease? |
55813 | Will you not let me make one of the party for the North? |
55813 | Will you speak to her, young Master, and reconcile her to her situation? |
55813 | Yes, but have n''t you heard? 55813 Yes, but he will,"said Mr. Peterkin, as, with a giant''s force, he broke asunder the slight arms,"you imperdent hussy, arn''t you my property? |
55813 | Yes, but what''s it to you, Amy? |
55813 | Yes, you does; do n''t he, Jake? |
55813 | Yes; why not? |
55813 | You ai n''t, arnt yer, you old fool? 55813 You are a slave?" |
55813 | You d-- n yallow hussy, does you think I buys such expensive chany- ware for you to break up in this ar''way? 55813 You devilish old wretch, Polly, what are you gabbling and snubbling here about? |
55813 | You do n''t want to buy without first seeing her? |
55813 | You do n''t? 55813 You old fool, what''s you''bout, gwine on at this here rate? |
55813 | You take it calmly,he said;"have you no friends?" |
55813 | You think she was sold when you were, do n''t you? |
55813 | You would let her go for a fair price, would n''t you? |
55813 | You? 55813 Your brother?" |
55813 | Your cousin? |
55813 | _ With me?_interrogated the lady. |
55813 | and my baby- boy, whar is he, and my oldest sons? 55813 whar she come from?" |
55813 | when her gwyn away? |
55813 | A black man he evidently was; but how had I heard him spoken of? |
55813 | After repeated knocks at the door of this most wretched hovel, an old crone of a negress muttered between her clenched teeth,"Who''s dar?" |
55813 | Again I attempted to tell the facts of the case, and defend myself, but she interrupted me, saying:"Do you suppose I believe a word of that? |
55813 | Ah, Ann-- is it Ann?" |
55813 | Ah, did I not believe him to be one of God''s blessed angels, lent us for a brief season? |
55813 | Ah, when was the morn of glad freedom to break for me? |
55813 | Ah, you do not believe me; but, good as is this news, it is true; is it not, father?" |
55813 | All flowers were dear to me; but these were particularly precious, and wherefore? |
55813 | Am I to become so utterly degraded? |
55813 | An acknowledgment of contrition, and a determination to do better, are all God requires of the offender; and shall poor, erring mortals demand more? |
55813 | And Miss Jane-- what did she do? |
55813 | And did I not dream that this youth, too, had on earth a mission of love to perform? |
55813 | And did not my uplifted glance tell him who would? |
55813 | And is this thing done beneath the influence of civilized laws, and by men calling themselves Christians? |
55813 | And must the mere fact of his tawny complexion exclude him from the pale of that society which he is so eminently fitted to grace? |
55813 | And now what can you do?" |
55813 | And now, poor old Nace, what pursuit must I recommend to you?" |
55813 | And shall I desert her who has suffered so deeply for me? |
55813 | And what does this amount to? |
55813 | And why may not Ham''s descendants claim a reprieve by virtue of the passion and death of Christ? |
55813 | Ann, how dare you give your mistress impudence?" |
55813 | Are there many women who would have differed from me? |
55813 | Are there no spirits in earth, air, or sky, to lend me their gracious influence? |
55813 | Are there, in the high endurance of the heroes of old Sparta, sufferings such as the unchronicled life of many a slave can furnish forth? |
55813 | Are these aspirings sent us from above? |
55813 | Are they wings lent the spirit from an angel? |
55813 | Are we dogs to lick the hand that strikes us? |
55813 | Are we excluded from the grace of that atonement? |
55813 | Are you a coward, a_ slave_ indeed?" |
55813 | Are you lacking in manliness, in courage? |
55813 | Are you sure you never saw one before?" |
55813 | Are you women or fiends? |
55813 | As I turned the key of Miss Jane''s wardrobe, she came into the room, with an unusually excited manner, exclaiming,"Ann, where is your Miss Tildy?" |
55813 | Astonishing, is it not, how the loaves and fishes of this goodly life will change and sway our opinions? |
55813 | At that suggestion I started, and felt my heart grow chill, as though an icy hand had clenched it; yet why felt I so? |
55813 | Atkins?'' |
55813 | Aunt Polly dead?" |
55813 | Aunt Polly wiped her eyes as she said to me,"Ann, does n''t we niggers hab to bar a heap? |
55813 | Ay, who did kill her? |
55813 | Being free, might they not have held property like other nations? |
55813 | Bidding her a polite good- morning, I inquired if the ladies had risen? |
55813 | But come, Jane, I is powerful hungry; ca n''t you git me something to eat?" |
55813 | But how can you, Henry, thus supinely sit by and see yourself robbed of your life''s treasure? |
55813 | But is it not intolerable that we should now quote them with such brazen self- gratulation? |
55813 | But, after all, why wait for a_ plan_? |
55813 | Ca n''t you be sold somewhere in the city? |
55813 | Can we hope for a mitigation of our wrongs when such men are our sovereigns? |
55813 | Can you not labor to buy yourself? |
55813 | Comes it to me now that I may gird my soul for the approaching warfare? |
55813 | Could I be mistaken? |
55813 | Could I bear to have her name and her sorrow thus rudely spoken of? |
55813 | Could I not have answered,"Thou art the man"? |
55813 | Could you bear silently the constant"wear and tear"of body, the perpetual imprisonment of the soul? |
55813 | Could you distinguish between immigrants of their class, and those who now settle upon our soil? |
55813 | Could you not have instilled better things into their minds? |
55813 | Dare he look me full in the eye? |
55813 | Did Cain love Abel? |
55813 | Did Herod love those innocents, whom, by a bloody edict, he consigned to death? |
55813 | Did I not know that the grave would be to her as a bed of ease? |
55813 | Did he feel no touch of remorse, or was he so entirely sold to the d-- l, as to be incapable of regret? |
55813 | Did he not say God loved all His creatures alike?" |
55813 | Did she care to know that others felt for her? |
55813 | Did she come to it by violence?" |
55813 | Did she not plan and premeditate the deed? |
55813 | Did these thoughts never occur to you?" |
55813 | Did you not know of it?" |
55813 | Did your fathers do so before you? |
55813 | Do Christians, who send off missionaries, realize that heathendom exists in their very midst; aye, almost at their own hearthstone? |
55813 | Do chirruping lips and bright eyes claim all your thoughts? |
55813 | Do n''t you know I is yer master, and will beat the very life outen yer, if yer do n''t git up right at once?" |
55813 | Do n''t you know thar is company in the house?" |
55813 | Do not her thrift and industry disprove the oft- repeated charge of indolence that is made upon the negro race? |
55813 | Do not such faces help to prove the perfectibility of the race? |
55813 | Do not the high and merciful stars, that nightly burn above you, recall me to your heart? |
55813 | Do not thoughts of her often come to your lonely soul with the sighing of the midnight wind? |
55813 | Do they reason? |
55813 | Do we not often wonder why the sky can smile so blue and lovingly, when such outrages are enacted beneath it? |
55813 | Do you dare to ask me not to punish a thief?" |
55813 | Do you know, Miss Emily, that your incendiary principles lost you caste in this neighborhood, where you once stood as a model?" |
55813 | Do you pray?" |
55813 | Do you think they could indict you?" |
55813 | Does God look down with kindness upon injustice like this? |
55813 | Does he come here often, Ann?" |
55813 | Does it not seem like dividing the burden, when we know that there is another who will weep for us? |
55813 | Does not a blush stain your cheeks when you make vaunting speeches about the character of your government? |
55813 | Does not our Declaration of Independence aver, that all men are born free and equal? |
55813 | Does not the African, in his love of gaud, show, and tinsel, his odd and grotesque decorations of his person, exhibit a love of style? |
55813 | Does not the child- loved moon speak to you of times when, as a little thing, I nestled close to your bosom? |
55813 | Does she suit you?" |
55813 | Does the uncut diamond show any of the polish and brilliancy which the lapidary''s hand can give it? |
55813 | Father, do you not promise before these witnesses?" |
55813 | Father, do you not want me to rest quietly in my grave?" |
55813 | Feeling, emotion, is the same in the African and the white woman? |
55813 | For this were the infant colonies applauded; who then shall inveigh against us for a practice of the same heroism? |
55813 | Had I a fellow- creature''s blood upon my hands? |
55813 | Had I found, accidentally, one of those Northern Abolitionists, about whom I had heard so much? |
55813 | Had he prepared or engaged an advocate? |
55813 | Had not his blessed smile elevated and inspired my sinking spirit, and his sweet tone softened my over- taxed heart? |
55813 | Had she not power to read, in that noble youth''s voice and manner, the high enduring truth and singleness of purpose that dwelt in his nature? |
55813 | Had they been the proper subjects of property, what could prevent the application of the principle I have quoted?" |
55813 | Happiness? |
55813 | Has Masser said anything''bout it? |
55813 | Has anything happened to you?" |
55813 | Has he weighed the advantages and disadvantages of both? |
55813 | Has not every social and moral feeling been outraged? |
55813 | Have I not just shown that all that you made was by right of law mine? |
55813 | Have other children supplanted your eldest- born? |
55813 | Have you a good home?" |
55813 | Have you done so? |
55813 | Have you not, from the broken chinks of your lonely cabins at night, looked forth upon the free heavens, and murmured at your fate? |
55813 | Have you spoken to Lindy? |
55813 | Have you, by the white man''s coarse brutality, learned to forget your absent child? |
55813 | He waited a moment, then said:"Are you happy?" |
55813 | Hearing my exclamation, she sprung up, and eagerly asked,"What is de matter, Ann? |
55813 | How can the slave be a philanthropist? |
55813 | How can you inhumanly beat those who have no protectors but you? |
55813 | How can you persecute, to the death, poor, ignorant creatures, whose only fault is a black skin? |
55813 | How dare we, as Americans, boast of this as the home and temple of liberty? |
55813 | How did I suffer? |
55813 | How did she behave? |
55813 | How does you like that, and this, and this?" |
55813 | How long will they bay at heaven with their cruel blasphemies? |
55813 | How much does Miss Nancy ask for you?" |
55813 | How much longer must we bear this scourge, this crown of thorns, this sweat of blood? |
55813 | How much longer will thy divine patience endure? |
55813 | How much longer wilt thou permit a suffering race to endure this harsh warfare? |
55813 | How old would you think me?" |
55813 | How would the man of ermine blush at his own quibbles?" |
55813 | I ask you, reader, if for a sorrow like this there was any word of comfort? |
55813 | I evaded her by saying,"how can I know what master will do?" |
55813 | I exclaimed, as I bent above her,"can this thing last long? |
55813 | I felt my soul shiver and shudder at this; but what could I do? |
55813 | I have n''t killed you, too-- say, Miss Bradly, is he dead?" |
55813 | I heard him ask--"Where is she? |
55813 | I jist wisht Masser sell yer apart, den whar is yer''tection ob one anoder?" |
55813 | I leaned forward, and, in a muffled tone, but with my whole heart hanging on my lip, asked Josh"how is mother?" |
55813 | I murmured,"he who reconciles me to my bondage, who is my only friend? |
55813 | I said,"if ever we meet again, will it be a meeting that shall know no separation? |
55813 | I saw young master clasp his hands fervently, and heard him passionately exclaim--"How much longer, oh, how much longer shall this be?" |
55813 | I thought of the pure, passionless apostle John, whom Christ so loved? |
55813 | I went up to him, kindly saying,"What is the matter, old uncle?" |
55813 | I wonder if we''ll git it?" |
55813 | If the African has not heroism, pray where will you find it? |
55813 | If we drive them hence, what excuse have we for it? |
55813 | If, then, human law recognizes a negro as irresponsible, how much more lenient and just will be the divine statute? |
55813 | In the cross- hall I met Louise, who exclaimed,"Why, Ann, where are you going?" |
55813 | In the exhausted coffers and empty public treasury, is there nothing taught but the lesson of national extravagance? |
55813 | In the threatened famine, see we nothing but an accidental failure of the crops? |
55813 | In the virulence of disease, the increasing prevalence of fatal epidemics, what do we read? |
55813 | Into whose hands shall I fall?" |
55813 | Is all noble philanthropy voted vapid by sober, serious, reflecting manhood? |
55813 | Is he not well enough to bear the excitement of it?" |
55813 | Is it because my face is colored? |
55813 | Is it best for a high- souled being to sit supinely down and bear the vile trammels of an unnatural and immoral bondage? |
55813 | Is it for you, a Northerner and a woman, to put up your voice in defence of slavery? |
55813 | Is it not the white man''s policy to degrade your race, thereby finding an argument to favor the perpetuation of Slavery? |
55813 | Is it only beardless boys who can feel for suffering slaves? |
55813 | Is it right to conquer the spirit, which God has given us? |
55813 | Is it to redeem a brother from a band of lawless robbers, who hold him in captivity? |
55813 | Is it to right some individual wrong? |
55813 | Is it to take part with the weak and oppressed against the strong and the overbearing? |
55813 | Is not the bulb, which enshrouds the snowy leaves of the fragrant lily, an unsightly thing? |
55813 | Is not the poisoned cup drained to its last dregs?" |
55813 | Is not this a matter, upon the injustice of which thy great voice should pronounce a malison? |
55813 | Is there a single female heart that will not divine"the wherefore"? |
55813 | Is there for us one thing to sweeten bondage? |
55813 | Is there no hope? |
55813 | Is there no tomb where, for a short space, thou shalt lie, and then, bursting the bonds of night and death, spring up free, redeemed and regenerate? |
55813 | Is this the blessed quality that is destined to"cover a multitude of sins"? |
55813 | It is dark; I ca n''t see you, where, where are you?" |
55813 | It would, besides, strike a blow at my legal practice, and then what could I do? |
55813 | It''s most day; say, is anything gwine on?" |
55813 | John Peterkin? |
55813 | Let us arrange for the future; but first tell me how much money does Henry lack to buy himself?" |
55813 | Look upon me as a sister; but now that your excited feelings have become allayed, let me ask you why your master sold you?" |
55813 | Looking into his deep, witching eyes, I murmured low, whilst my hand returned the pressure of his,"Is it you, dear Henry?" |
55813 | Looking up to me with that vacant glance which at once explained all, she said:"Who''s dar? |
55813 | Might it not have been well to let Amy go too?" |
55813 | Miss Bradly hearn in de house''bout de''raculous''pearance ob de sperit, and she kum up to me, and say''Polly, whar is de body of Ann?'' |
55813 | Miss Bradly, is that you? |
55813 | Mother, are you changed? |
55813 | Mought he be yer uncle?" |
55813 | Must I conquer them? |
55813 | Must I stifle the eloquent cry of Nature in my breast? |
55813 | Must it not be wretchedness indeed, when the heart refuses to look around upon blooming, vernal Nature, and answer her with a smile of freshness? |
55813 | No answer being made, she garrulously went on:"Was that yer husband what comed to see you this evenin''?" |
55813 | No notice was taken by the citizens of her murder-- why should there be? |
55813 | Noiselessly I was trying to creep away, when young master said in a low voice:"Is this you, Ann? |
55813 | Not much of anything, ha?" |
55813 | Nothing daunted, she went on:"Is yer gwine down the river with the next lot?" |
55813 | Now, do we not make this a practical falsehood? |
55813 | Now, how would the religious slave- holder answer that? |
55813 | Now, what would you think if I did n''t give you a single lick?" |
55813 | Now, why, I ask, have they not as much right to remain here as we have? |
55813 | Obediently he swallowed it, and, as he returned the glass, he asked,"How has this wretched matter terminated? |
55813 | Of what avail, then, would be my''quiddits, quillets; my cases, tenures and my tricks?'' |
55813 | Often I ask myself why is this? |
55813 | Oh, God, what fierce and fiendish feelings did the recollection of her agony arouse? |
55813 | Oh, did they not reach the ear of Almighty love? |
55813 | Oh, does it not seem a mockery for the slave to employ that word? |
55813 | Oh, nation of the free, how long shall this be? |
55813 | Oh, shall I, can I, ever forget that scene? |
55813 | Oh, sisters, know ye not that this Algerine captivity that I have painted, is but a poor picture of the daily martyrdom which our slaves endure? |
55813 | Oh, was not this fearful, fearful ignorance? |
55813 | Oh, where is there to be found injustice like that which the American slaves daily and hourly endure, without a word of complaint? |
55813 | Oh, why, why have we-- poor bondsmen and bondswomen-- these fine and delicate sensibilities? |
55813 | On the evening before our departure, I called Louise to me and asked,"Where is Henry''s grave?" |
55813 | Or do you toil alone, broken in soul and bent in body, beneath the drudgery of human labor, without one soft voice to lull you to repose? |
55813 | Or must they be clipped and crushed as belonging to the evil spirit?" |
55813 | Or, mother, have other ties grown around your heart? |
55813 | Peterkin''s?" |
55813 | Raising himself quickly in the bed, he asked,"What hour is it?" |
55813 | Reverse the case, and take upon yourselves their condition; how would you act? |
55813 | Sally can get a situation as cook; and Ann, where is Ann?" |
55813 | Shall I ever forget the despairing look of Charley? |
55813 | Shall Nebraska and Kansas join in a blood- spilling coalition with the South? |
55813 | Shall it dare to desecrate, with its vile presence, the new territories that are now emphatically free? |
55813 | She sprang from the bed, exclaiming:"La, Ann, whar has yer bin? |
55813 | She started nervously,"Oh, who are you? |
55813 | She was a strange, gifted, unusual woman;--who, then, can suppose that her infancy and youth were ordinary? |
55813 | Should I, could I, ever be_ free_? |
55813 | Summerville?" |
55813 | Summerville?" |
55813 | Sure, and arn''t de one who cooks it got de bes''right to it?" |
55813 | Take her a word from me? |
55813 | Tell me what is to become of us? |
55813 | Tell me why were you sold?" |
55813 | Tell me, honest reader, was not she, at heart, a murderess? |
55813 | The old man''s voice grew very feeble, as he asked,"An de chillen, de boys, how is dey?" |
55813 | The strange workings of my countenance attracted Amy''s attention, and, coming up to me, with an innocent air, she asked:"What is the matter, Ann? |
55813 | The taller girl turned toward me, and asked,"Father, is that the new girl you bought at old Nelson''s sale?" |
55813 | Then I would repeat the often- asked question,"Where shall we live?" |
55813 | Then who can ask me, if I would not rather go back into bondage than_ live_, aye_ live_( that is the word), with the proud sense of freedom mine? |
55813 | Think ye not, oh, gentle reader, that this prayer was heard above? |
55813 | To Master William''s interrogatory,"Is Mr. Atkins in?" |
55813 | Tompkins?" |
55813 | Tossing her bonnet off, she kissed Miss Jane very affectionately, nodded to me, and asked,"Where is Tildy?" |
55813 | Very true, I thought, for the most of them; but who is to blame for their ignorance? |
55813 | Wal, says I, haint your faces black as mine? |
55813 | Was he not one of the sacred chosen? |
55813 | Was it mournfulness that streamed, with a purple light, from them, or was it a sublimated contempt? |
55813 | Was it not sad to behold the depths of degradation into which this creature had fallen? |
55813 | Was she dead? |
55813 | Was she not, now, the weakest and most sordid of mortals? |
55813 | We have been and are cruelly oppressed; why may we not come out with our petition of right, and declare ourselves independent? |
55813 | Well, what''s the damage?" |
55813 | Were they not hideous to look upon, and was he not lovely as a seraph? |
55813 | Were they not low and vulgar, and he lofty and celestial- minded? |
55813 | Whar is he?" |
55813 | Whar is she? |
55813 | What business have negroes going to church? |
55813 | What constitutes worth of character? |
55813 | What could she mean by new friends and a new home? |
55813 | What did you put it here fur? |
55813 | What for you git up out en yer warm bed, and go stand in the night- ar?" |
55813 | What fur you do dat? |
55813 | What gives elevation to him?" |
55813 | What has armed those twelve men with pistols, and sent them on an excursion like this? |
55813 | What has become of that unfortunate girl?" |
55813 | What has been the matter with me?" |
55813 | What have you to say on these material points?" |
55813 | What if some grim phantom dash down this sparkling cup; just as we are about to press it to our eager and expectant lips? |
55813 | What if this imprudence should rapidly develop a fearful disease?" |
55813 | What is a nigger''s hide more than a hog''s?" |
55813 | What is there, in that case, to hinder them from immigrating in large numbers? |
55813 | What makes the man? |
55813 | What right has you to speak, slut?" |
55813 | What then have we to hope for? |
55813 | What think you was the answer of this white mother? |
55813 | What to that broken heart were words of condolence? |
55813 | What torture could await her beyond the pass of the valley of shadows? |
55813 | What was done for me? |
55813 | What was it that reconciled me to the horrible tortures which were awaiting me? |
55813 | What wonder then, that this poor ignorant child sighed for the calm, unfearing, unbroken rest of the grave? |
55813 | What would be my situation without prayer? |
55813 | What would we think of this? |
55813 | What''s I got to live fur?" |
55813 | What''s Masser goin''to do wid us all?" |
55813 | What, to that lightning- burnt soul, were the wounds of the body? |
55813 | What_ had_ she to live for? |
55813 | When did she die? |
55813 | When shall we be sold? |
55813 | When the final amen had been said, she asked,"Ann, what''s to become of me?" |
55813 | When will Miss Nancy be ready to go?" |
55813 | Where and with what Calvary shall this martyrdom terminate? |
55813 | Where are the''inalienable rights''of which our Constitution talks in such trumpet- tones? |
55813 | Where did you find her? |
55813 | Where had they been during the lapse of years? |
55813 | Where is Lindy?" |
55813 | Where is master?" |
55813 | Where is she?" |
55813 | Where is the honesty that could not, under such circumstances, find an argument to justify larceny? |
55813 | Where is the woman that would not have hotly resented such an insult? |
55813 | Where was Remorse, the unsleeping fiend, in that moment? |
55813 | Where was her master? |
55813 | Where was that far and heaven- reaching love, that had seemed to encircle her as a living, burning zone? |
55813 | Where was the exalted philanthropy that I had thought dwelt in her soul? |
55813 | Where were they all? |
55813 | Where will you ever again find such kind mistresses and such a good master?" |
55813 | Where, all this time, was Miss Bradly? |
55813 | Whilst I still loitered near the flower, a very sweet but manly voice asked:"Do you love flowers?" |
55813 | Whither could the figure have fled? |
55813 | Whither went it, oh, angel of mercy? |
55813 | Who but the Maid of Orleans rescued her country? |
55813 | Who can carp at me? |
55813 | Who can hope to find so fair a flower blooming amid the dreary brambles of a negro- trader''s breast? |
55813 | Who could dry up the only fountain in this benighted soul? |
55813 | Who could he be? |
55813 | Who could, who would, who dared, separate the parent from her offspring? |
55813 | Who does not want it, no matter at what costly price? |
55813 | Who ever heard of such impertinence? |
55813 | Who gave him the right to force me from my good home and kind friends?" |
55813 | Who is he? |
55813 | Who is the poor man''s friend? |
55813 | Who is there that could resist? |
55813 | Who is there with enough of Christ''s spirit to speak kindly to the Magdalene, and bid her''go and sin no more''? |
55813 | Who is to be answerable for the short- comings of such a soul? |
55813 | Who is you? |
55813 | Who may tell the silent, unexpressed agony that I there endured? |
55813 | Who of us can refuse sympathy? |
55813 | Who saw it? |
55813 | Who shall say that solitary communing with Nature unfits the soul for active life? |
55813 | Who that listens to the words of Parker, Sumner, and Seward, can believe them other than inspired? |
55813 | Who that lives beneath your shelter, would dare to say they are not wise and sacred as the laws of the Decalogue? |
55813 | Who that looked upon him, with his quiet, reflective eye, but knew that an angel sat enthroned within his bosom? |
55813 | Who the witnesses? |
55813 | Who tole you to put yer mouth in?" |
55813 | Who was with her? |
55813 | Who were her accusers? |
55813 | Who would feel the same interest in her that I do? |
55813 | Who would nurse her? |
55813 | Who would think it injustice to"commend the poison- chalice to her own lips"? |
55813 | Who''s bought you?" |
55813 | Whose hand but woman''s dealt the merited death- blow to one of France''s bloodiest tyrants? |
55813 | Why am I thus self- bound? |
55813 | Why and how can your womanly heart turn away from its true instincts? |
55813 | Why and how was this? |
55813 | Why are we cursed with slavery? |
55813 | Why are you weeping?" |
55813 | Why ban the African?" |
55813 | Why can not the means of happiness come to us when we have the capacity for enjoyment? |
55813 | Why could n''t mother come with me, or I stay with her? |
55813 | Why did my eye droop beneath that warm, inquiring gaze; and why did he ask so low, in a half whisper:"Should I die who will grieve for me?" |
55813 | Why do n''t she come to me? |
55813 | Why do not the States themselves interpose their power to put down at once and forever, such nefarious business? |
55813 | Why do we love? |
55813 | Why do you tremble so, Ann?" |
55813 | Why have we houses of prostitution, where beauty is sold for a price? |
55813 | Why have we pest and alms- houses? |
55813 | Why is you and Aunt Polly sittin''up at dis time ob of de night? |
55813 | Why may n''t it be you?" |
55813 | Why separated from my mother and friends? |
55813 | Why should dey?" |
55813 | Why should it be? |
55813 | Why should they not go a step further, and forbid all traffic in slaves, such as is pursued among your people? |
55813 | Why should we? |
55813 | Why was_ I_ sold? |
55813 | Why will you mortify and torture us in this cruel way?" |
55813 | Why, why is the gate of heaven shut against me? |
55813 | Will she, must she die? |
55813 | Will you grant it? |
55813 | Will you walk in?" |
55813 | With quiet, saintly manner, taking his seat at the table, he said,"Is not the abolition power strong at the North, Miss Emily?" |
55813 | Would it not be better for me if I could repress all the lofty emotions and generous impulses of my soul, and become a spiritless thing? |
55813 | Would n''t his white complexion contrast well with that of the sable orator?" |
55813 | Would you refuse to make me happy? |
55813 | You axed whar Lindy was found? |
55813 | You did n''t see who she was talkin''wid?" |
55813 | You do n''t dare to say you are not happy_ here_?" |
55813 | You kan''t write, neither ken I. Oh, what shill we do?" |
55813 | You will not refuse me?" |
55813 | You, who are clad in satin, and decked with jewels, albeit your face is as white as snow, can not boast of emotions different from ours? |
55813 | and catching hold of my ear he pulled me round in front of him, saying,"Well, you are likely- looking; how much work can you do?" |
55813 | and do we submit to these things?" |
55813 | and for her own carelessness and mistake had Amy been sacrificed? |
55813 | and how can you be so very_ idiosyncratic_"( this was a favorite word with her)"as to say you never use them? |
55813 | and is she not half- distracted?" |
55813 | and when?" |
55813 | and where is the young gentleman who supped with them on that awful night?" |
55813 | cried Mr. Peterkin, as his eye met the calm, clear, fixed gaze of his son,"where did you get that look? |
55813 | dead? |
55813 | did n''t he promise? |
55813 | does not one who has real trouble, heart- agony, sicken when he hears of these affectations of grief? |
55813 | had that last and only soul- stay been taken from me? |
55813 | has aught happened to him?" |
55813 | have they company?" |
55813 | have you heard the horn blow for the hands to come in from work?" |
55813 | how? |
55813 | if I die, what will become of me? |
55813 | is there for us no redress? |
55813 | is this right? |
55813 | mine to do what I pleases with; and do you dar''to oppose me?" |
55813 | must I give up the angel- sealed honor of my life in traffic for trinkets? |
55813 | my son John?" |
55813 | said Mr. Peterkin to me, one day,"are you agoin to die, too, Ann? |
55813 | she cried out; then, turning to me, said,"does Henry know it?" |
55813 | she groaned forth,"oh, is I gwine down de ribber? |
55813 | slave, in your heart a single pleasant memory? |
55813 | that another heart wept for her grief? |
55813 | wast thou not, to my old and weary friend, a messenger of sweet peace; and was not the tomb a gateway to new and undreamed- of happiness? |
55813 | what did you say, Lindy?" |
55813 | what do you think? |
55813 | what shill I do?" |
55813 | what''s that''bout Aberlitionists?" |
55813 | where from?" |
55813 | where is thy warning voice? |
55813 | who can equal you? |
55813 | who''s dar? |
55813 | you haint driv the_ chile_ off? |
15265 | A love affair--she paled with something like fear--"and I"--she started to speak, but could not--"I want to know what you think about Zora?" |
15265 | About darky schools? |
15265 | About how much? |
15265 | Ai n''t you got no money? |
15265 | All the truth? |
15265 | Always-- tell-- the truth? |
15265 | Am I? 15265 And Sanders?" |
15265 | And Zora? |
15265 | And cotton? |
15265 | And criticise the party? |
15265 | And culture and work? |
15265 | And do the people believe that? |
15265 | And how long have you been buying it? |
15265 | And if that strong influence were found? |
15265 | And is--she struggled at the word madly--"is she pure?" |
15265 | And kill the plantation system? |
15265 | And leave a pa''cel of niggers behind to shoot your lights out? 15265 And let your neighbor sell them poison at all hours? |
15265 | And more beautiful? |
15265 | And no appointment? 15265 And now,"he said,"Miss Wynn, what can I do for you?" |
15265 | And part of the price is putting the colored schools of the District in the hands of a Southern man and depriving us of all voice in their control? |
15265 | And say,as Easterly was turning away,"you know Congressman Smith?" |
15265 | And so you ca n''t leave? |
15265 | And the Board of Education abolished? |
15265 | And the other planters? |
15265 | And then? |
15265 | And these Cresswells today? |
15265 | And throw the rest of our capital after the fifty thousand dollars we''ve already lost? |
15265 | And what brings you to town afoot this time of day? |
15265 | And what shall you do? |
15265 | And what were you to pay for it? |
15265 | And what''s beyond the swamp? |
15265 | And where do you live, Buddy? |
15265 | And who is Elspeth? |
15265 | And why do you hate it? |
15265 | And why does she hold a lily? |
15265 | And will they all be represented? |
15265 | And with the teachers of it? |
15265 | And yet you will stay? |
15265 | And yonder to the west? |
15265 | And you are still friendly with him? |
15265 | And you? |
15265 | And, Zora, what way do you seek? 15265 Any witnesses?" |
15265 | Any witnesses? |
15265 | Are kisses illegal here? |
15265 | Are they honest and kind? |
15265 | Are they not hard working honest people? |
15265 | Are you going back there when you finish? |
15265 | Are you happy? |
15265 | Are you men fools, or rascals? 15265 Are you sure of the path, Zora?" |
15265 | Are you sure? |
15265 | Are you the-- er-- the man who had a letter to the Senator? |
15265 | Are you walking? |
15265 | Are you-- in a hurry, Miss Smith? |
15265 | As Treasurer? |
15265 | Aunt Rachel? |
15265 | Back, is she? 15265 Behind where the sun comes up?" |
15265 | Bigger? |
15265 | Black or white? |
15265 | Bles,she began didactically,"where are you from?" |
15265 | Bles,she cried,"how can I grow pure?" |
15265 | Bles,she said impulsively,"shall I tell you of the Golden Fleece?" |
15265 | Bles,she said primly,"have you absolutely no shame?" |
15265 | Brethren,he began,"the plan''s good enough for talkin''but you ca n''t work it; who ever heer''d tell of such a thing? |
15265 | But could n''t you hire some good workers? |
15265 | But did n''t you say they were engaged? |
15265 | But did n''t you settle at Christmas? |
15265 | But how about your raw material? 15265 But how can I know?" |
15265 | But how do they hope to make Mr. Alwyn blunder? |
15265 | But how shall we help him? |
15265 | But how''s cotton? |
15265 | But if she escapes, why not you? |
15265 | But if we can not trust to the justice of the case, and if you knew we could n''t, why did you try? |
15265 | But in the tenth case-- suppose he should stick to it? |
15265 | But is it necessary? 15265 But others-- a man''s a man, is n''t he?" |
15265 | But surely you did n''t join her in advocating that ten million people be menials? |
15265 | But that''s been decided, has n''t it? |
15265 | But the other gown? |
15265 | But the seed? |
15265 | But the unselfish work she does-- the utter sacrifice? |
15265 | But what do Teerswell and Stillings want? |
15265 | But what_ can_ turn up? |
15265 | But where are the houses? |
15265 | But where have you sent them? |
15265 | But where is it? |
15265 | But where is it? |
15265 | But who gave it to you? |
15265 | But why do n''t the planters do something? |
15265 | But why is lies evil? |
15265 | But why prolong the thing? |
15265 | But you believe in some education? |
15265 | But you mean to say you ca n''t even advise her? |
15265 | But, Mrs. Vanderpool,she protested,"is it right? |
15265 | But, Zora, must you folk ape our nonsense as well as our sense? |
15265 | But,--presently,--"how can we sell it without the Cresswells knowing?" |
15265 | But-- I do n''t understand, Miss Smith-- why ca n''t you accept my offer? |
15265 | But-- but I thought they had already started to work a crop on the Tolliver place? |
15265 | But-- but how are-- all? |
15265 | But-- but, dear Mrs. Vanderpool, you would n''t want your children trained that way, would you? |
15265 | But-- will he? |
15265 | By the bye, I met some charming Alabama people last winter, in Montgomery-- the Cresswells; do you know them? |
15265 | Ca n''t I have the girl Zora? |
15265 | Called? |
15265 | Can I go? |
15265 | Can I speak with you a moment, Colonel? |
15265 | Can it be, Bles Alwyn,she said,"that you do n''t know the sort of girl she is?" |
15265 | Can you not stop and see some of the classes? |
15265 | Can you put trust in that sort of help? |
15265 | Can you? |
15265 | Cash? |
15265 | Colton,he asked,"are you sending any of your white children to the nigger school yet?" |
15265 | Come, is you? 15265 Cotton is a wonderful thing, is it not, boys?" |
15265 | Could I buy a lunch from the dining- car? |
15265 | Could I help? |
15265 | Could I trust you with a human soul? |
15265 | Could she pass? |
15265 | Did Helene attend the ball four years ago? |
15265 | Did he say he meant to sign such a contract? |
15265 | Did n''t I tell you there was lots to learn? |
15265 | Did n''t you know that this Child Labor business was opposed to my interests? |
15265 | Did you get that novel for me, Harry? |
15265 | Did you know that he is to be invited to make the principal address to the graduates of the colored high- school? |
15265 | Did you make that pin? |
15265 | Did you see Colonel Cresswell sign this paper? |
15265 | Did you suggest anything? |
15265 | Do crazy folks forget? |
15265 | Do fools like the American people deserve salvation? |
15265 | Do n''t white folks make books? |
15265 | Do n''t you hate the deception? |
15265 | Do n''t you know that Colonel Cresswell will attach our cotton for rent as soon as it touches the warehouse? |
15265 | Do n''t you know that is a wicked, bad habit? |
15265 | Do n''t you know we''re not going to interfere with Colonel Cresswell''s tenants? |
15265 | Do n''t you see,he said angrily,"that that will ruin our plans for the Cotton Combine?" |
15265 | Do n''t_ you_ want to be different? |
15265 | Do they get that-- ten cents an hour? |
15265 | Do you ever tell lies, Zora? |
15265 | Do you go to school? |
15265 | Do you happen to have any whiskey handy? |
15265 | Do you hear the bodies creaking on the limbs? 15265 Do you know how?" |
15265 | Do you know me? |
15265 | Do you know my people? 15265 Do you know no one in town?" |
15265 | Do you live about here? |
15265 | Do you live in Washington? |
15265 | Do you mean it? |
15265 | Do you mean to intimate that Mr. Alwyn''s appointment is held up because he is colored? |
15265 | Do you mean to say he''s actually slated for the place? |
15265 | Do you mean to say that you are going to keep in this school a girl who not only lies and steals but is positively--_immoral_? |
15265 | Do you s''pose mammy''s the witch? |
15265 | Do you stay there now? |
15265 | Do you work for pay? |
15265 | Does he furnish you rations? |
15265 | Does he? |
15265 | Does she think them immodest? |
15265 | Does you own the land? |
15265 | Does you want-- a collection? |
15265 | Does, eh? 15265 Dreams?" |
15265 | Enough to marry me? |
15265 | Even if it hurts me? |
15265 | Except who? |
15265 | First, there''s England-- and all Europe; why not bring them into the trust? |
15265 | For what? 15265 General philanthropy?" |
15265 | Gentleman is asking if you forgits it''s Saturday night, sir? |
15265 | God is the father of all the little babies, ai n''t He, Bles? |
15265 | Goobers? |
15265 | Good white folk? |
15265 | Got my letter? |
15265 | H''m, they''re way behind, are n''t they? 15265 Harry, will you do me a favor?" |
15265 | Hate what? |
15265 | Have I shocked you? |
15265 | Have n''t I a right to have a gun? |
15265 | Have you been in your sitting- room? |
15265 | Have you got the deed? |
15265 | Have you had the civil- service examinations? |
15265 | Have you heard of the Vanderpools? |
15265 | Have you hired a maid? |
15265 | Have you many settlements? |
15265 | Have you never heard of the Golden Fleece, Bles? |
15265 | Have you seen Senator Smith yet? |
15265 | Have you seen the Easterlys? |
15265 | He deserved it, did n''t he? |
15265 | He''s a fair God, ai n''t He? |
15265 | Heavenly Father, was man ever before set to such a task? |
15265 | Helen? |
15265 | Helps folks that they love? 15265 Here you, Jim, take the big mules and drive like-- Where''s that wench?" |
15265 | Hired? |
15265 | How about fighting for exercise? |
15265 | How am I to know this is true? |
15265 | How dare you? |
15265 | How do you do, Miss Smith? |
15265 | How do you mean? |
15265 | How do you spell that? |
15265 | How does_ you_ know He does? |
15265 | How is my sister? |
15265 | How long before the stalks will be ready to cut? |
15265 | How much is that? |
15265 | How much of it? |
15265 | How much-- farther will it drop? |
15265 | How much? |
15265 | How so? |
15265 | How you know? |
15265 | How''s his cotton? |
15265 | How''s the school getting on? |
15265 | How? |
15265 | How? |
15265 | How? |
15265 | I beg pardon, does the Miss Wynn live here who got the prize in the art exhibition? |
15265 | I beg your pardon? |
15265 | I do hope the thing can be managed, but--"What are the difficulties? |
15265 | I do n''t suppose you know any one who is acquainted with any number of these Northern darkies? |
15265 | I hate it, Bles, do n''t you? |
15265 | I mean, what work? |
15265 | I mean, would the Cresswells approve of educating Negroes? |
15265 | I see-- everybody is raising his price, is he? 15265 I suppose my salary would stop?" |
15265 | I suppose you hear from the school? |
15265 | I think they are; but-- well, you know Carrie Wynn better than I do: suppose, now-- suppose he should lose the appointment? |
15265 | I thought it was the lazy, shiftless, and criminal Negroes, you feared? |
15265 | I wonder what I shall make out of her? |
15265 | I''m driving round through the old plantation,he explained;"wo n''t you join me?" |
15265 | I''ve gambled-- before; I''ve gambled on cards and on horses; I''ve gambled-- for money-- and-- women-- but--"But not on cotton, hey? 15265 I-- er-- came; that is, I believe you sent a group to the art exhibit?" |
15265 | I-- er-- meant to ask if Colonel Cresswell, in signing this paper, meant to sign a contract to sell this wench two hundred acres of land? |
15265 | If not I, who? |
15265 | In your dark lives,he cried,"_ who_ is the King of Glory? |
15265 | Inclined to be a little nasty? |
15265 | Indeed? 15265 Indeed? |
15265 | Indeed? |
15265 | Indeed? |
15265 | Is it off? |
15265 | Is it ready, Zora? |
15265 | Is it wrong,asked Zora,"to make believe you likes people when you do n''t, when you''se afeared of them and thinks they may rub off and dirty you?" |
15265 | Is it? 15265 Is it?--is it?" |
15265 | Is it?--is it? |
15265 | Is n''t Bles developing splendidly? |
15265 | Is n''t it so-- anywhere? |
15265 | Is n''t the census building wretched? |
15265 | Is she very sick? |
15265 | Is that all? |
15265 | Is that so? |
15265 | Is that wrong? |
15265 | Is that you, Smith? |
15265 | Is the Congressional business very heavy? |
15265 | Is there any water near? |
15265 | Is there anything in Washington that the South does not already own? |
15265 | Is this a new gag? |
15265 | Is this about this? |
15265 | Is you afeared, honey? |
15265 | Is-- is anything the matter? |
15265 | It is so late and wet and you''re tired tonight-- don''t you think you''d better sleep in your little room? |
15265 | Jim Sykes? |
15265 | Just begun? |
15265 | Just what is your plan? |
15265 | Know dem? 15265 Like it? |
15265 | Look like a fool, do I? |
15265 | Mary, has that Alwyn nigger been here this afternoon? |
15265 | Me? 15265 Mean? |
15265 | Miss Smith''s school? |
15265 | Miss Smith, how much money have you? |
15265 | Miss Smith, is yo''got a speller fo''ten cents? |
15265 | Miss Smith, is yo''got just a drap of coffee to lend me? 15265 Miss Smith, who do you think has been here?" |
15265 | Miss Smith, would Jim do to drive? |
15265 | Miss-- Wynn? |
15265 | Mr. Cresswell would be their local representative? |
15265 | Mr. Taylor, have you any money in this? |
15265 | Mr. Taylor,said the lawyer carelessly,"were you present at this transaction?" |
15265 | Mrs. Grey talked to you much? |
15265 | Must you do as he wants? |
15265 | My God-- it walks-- like my wife-- I tell you-- she held her head so-- who is it? |
15265 | My people?--my people? |
15265 | Never? |
15265 | Never? |
15265 | No,he pressed her,"with your bargain?" |
15265 | No-- well, what can I do for you? |
15265 | No-- what? |
15265 | Now what the devil does this mean? |
15265 | Now, Bles,she began,"since we understand each other, can we not work together as good friends?" |
15265 | Now, about the niggers,the chairman had asked;"how much more boodle do they want?" |
15265 | Now, what do you know,she asked finally,"about Negroes-- about educating them?" |
15265 | Now, what have you got there? |
15265 | Now, what''s his game? |
15265 | Of Colonel Cresswell? |
15265 | Oh, you''ve noted it, too?--his friendship for that impossible girl, Zora? |
15265 | Ought I to tell? 15265 Our success?" |
15265 | Promise you wo n''t tell? |
15265 | Really, now, you do not mean to say that there is a danger of-- of amalgamation, do you? |
15265 | Robert, where is the land Cresswell offers you? |
15265 | Said that, did he? |
15265 | Sam, is it? 15265 Say, Harry, how about that darky, Sykes?" |
15265 | Say,he whispered another time,"do n''t you want to buy these gold spectacles? |
15265 | See those boys over there? 15265 Sell it? |
15265 | She gets a salary, does n''t she? |
15265 | She lives in the swamp-- she''s a kind of witch, I reckon, like-- like--"Like Medea? |
15265 | So''m I,answered the boy, fumbling at his bundle; and then, timidly:"Will you eat with me?" |
15265 | So? 15265 So? |
15265 | Some time you''ll tell me, please, wo n''t you? |
15265 | Something political? |
15265 | Still thinking of going, are you, Sam? |
15265 | Stillings? |
15265 | Stuff? |
15265 | Surely there must be many friends of our race willing to stand for the right and sacrifice for it? |
15265 | Taylor, what does this mean? |
15265 | The Cresswells? |
15265 | The Silver Fleece? |
15265 | The Tolliver place? |
15265 | The brotherhood of man? |
15265 | The snake-- what is he? |
15265 | The world? |
15265 | Then what''s the use of seeing the world? |
15265 | Then why do they go? |
15265 | Then you can leave the place, Zora? |
15265 | Then you care-- for me? |
15265 | Then you lies sometimes, do n''t you? |
15265 | There are so many ahead of me and I am in a hurry to get to my school; but I must see the Senator-- couldn''t I go in with you? 15265 There''s something in it,"he admitted,"but what can we do? |
15265 | They are-- wealthy people? |
15265 | They may accommodate you-- how much would you want? |
15265 | They want us to revive the Farmers''League? |
15265 | This is a great cotton country? |
15265 | Tickets? |
15265 | Tightening up on the tenants? |
15265 | To be sure,she murmured,"but what sort of folks?" |
15265 | Todd asks: Who is Vanderpool, anyhow? 15265 Todd just let fall something of a combination against us in Congress-- know anything of it?" |
15265 | Tolerable, how are you? |
15265 | True; but ca n''t we force them to it? |
15265 | Two hundred acres? 15265 Want to go?" |
15265 | Was n''t what I said true? |
15265 | Was she pretty? |
15265 | Was the child born dead? |
15265 | We wo n''t work any more today, then? |
15265 | We''se both crazy, ai n''t we? |
15265 | We''ve cornered the market all right-- cornered it-- d''ye hear, Cresswell? 15265 We?" |
15265 | Well, I wants to see Mr. Harry very much; could I wait in the back hall? |
15265 | Well, Uncle Jim, why are n''t you at work? |
15265 | Well, Zora, what have you there? |
15265 | Well, all right, if--"Harry, I feel a little-- hysterical, tonight, and-- you will not refuse me, will you, Harry? |
15265 | Well, are you all moved, Aunt Rachel? |
15265 | Well, are you getting things in shape so as to enter school early next year? |
15265 | Well, did he intend so far as you know to sign such a paper? |
15265 | Well, nigger, what are you going to do about it? |
15265 | Well, sir? |
15265 | Well, what do you want? |
15265 | Well, what do you want? |
15265 | Well, what is it? |
15265 | Well, what then? |
15265 | Well, who''d have dreamed it? |
15265 | Well, why do n''t you go to the office? |
15265 | Well,asked Cresswell, maintaining his composure by an effort,"how are things?" |
15265 | Well,shortly,"now for that talk-- ready?" |
15265 | Well? |
15265 | Were they kind to their slaves? |
15265 | What Smith? |
15265 | What about Johnson? |
15265 | What are prospects in March? 15265 What are you going to do with it?" |
15265 | What bargain? |
15265 | What can I do for you? |
15265 | What can I do to help you? |
15265 | What can I do? |
15265 | What can be done with Negroes? |
15265 | What damned mummery is this? |
15265 | What did you disagree about? |
15265 | What do the colored people want, and who can best influence them in this campaign? |
15265 | What do you do? |
15265 | What do you mean? |
15265 | What does Miss Wynn do for a living? |
15265 | What does it amount to a year? |
15265 | What does she intend to do? |
15265 | What else? |
15265 | What for? |
15265 | What for? |
15265 | What for? |
15265 | What is Todd''s bill? |
15265 | What is it? |
15265 | What is it? |
15265 | What is planted over there? |
15265 | What is the matter, Bles? |
15265 | What is the matter, Zora? |
15265 | What is the matter, Zora? |
15265 | What is the world like? |
15265 | What is your plan? |
15265 | What kinds? |
15265 | What of it? 15265 What of it?" |
15265 | What of them? |
15265 | What pin? |
15265 | What shall we offer him? |
15265 | What sort of people are the Cresswells? |
15265 | What the hell are you going to do? |
15265 | What was the trouble? |
15265 | What will you say in your speech? |
15265 | What would the interest be? |
15265 | What would you expect as pay? |
15265 | What would you have? 15265 What you run for?" |
15265 | What!--and no appointment? |
15265 | What''s a shame? |
15265 | What''s over there? |
15265 | What''s that got to do with it? |
15265 | What''s that? |
15265 | What''s that? |
15265 | What''s that? |
15265 | What''s that? |
15265 | What''s that? |
15265 | What''s that? |
15265 | What''s the charge here? |
15265 | What''s the matter, Rob? |
15265 | What''s the matter? |
15265 | What''s the use, Miss Smith-- what opening is there for a-- a nigger with an education? |
15265 | What''s this nigger charged with? |
15265 | What''s this stuff about the Civic Club? |
15265 | What''s this? |
15265 | What''s your name? |
15265 | What-- what did you do? |
15265 | What? |
15265 | What? |
15265 | What? |
15265 | What? |
15265 | When we cry they mock us; they ruin our women and debauch our children-- what shall we do? 15265 When?" |
15265 | Where can we buy them? |
15265 | Where did this come from? |
15265 | Where did you get it? |
15265 | Where did you get these facts? |
15265 | Where does it go? |
15265 | Where does this road come out? |
15265 | Where have you been? |
15265 | Where is it? |
15265 | Where is she now? |
15265 | Where is she? |
15265 | Where is the deed? |
15265 | Where now, Zora? |
15265 | Where shall I put these? |
15265 | Where to, Madame? |
15265 | Where you going? |
15265 | Where''s Zora? |
15265 | Where''s that? |
15265 | Where''s your lawyer? |
15265 | Where''s-- Nell''s? |
15265 | Where? |
15265 | Where? |
15265 | Where? |
15265 | Which would the South prefer-- Todd''s Education Bill, or Alwyn''s appointment? |
15265 | Who is dis what talks of doing the Lord''s work for Him? 15265 Who is he?" |
15265 | Who is he? |
15265 | Who is it, and what do you want? |
15265 | Who is it? |
15265 | Who''ll be the committee? |
15265 | Who''s John Taylor? |
15265 | Who''s a- feared of the dark? 15265 Who''s going to get what''s made on this land?" |
15265 | Who''s going to tend this land? |
15265 | Who''s going to work on the place? |
15265 | Who''s running it? |
15265 | Who''s speaking? |
15265 | Who''s that? |
15265 | Who''s that? |
15265 | Who''s that? |
15265 | Who''s that? |
15265 | Who''s this? |
15265 | Who? |
15265 | Whom? |
15265 | Whose child is this? |
15265 | Whose is that? |
15265 | Whose work is this, Senator? |
15265 | Why did n''t you tell me? |
15265 | Why did you send your exhibit when you knew it was not wanted? |
15265 | Why did you speak so to Miss Taylor? |
15265 | Why do you say these things? |
15265 | Why is it yours? |
15265 | Why not bigger? |
15265 | Why not make a speech on the subject? |
15265 | Why not, then, admit that you draw the color- line? |
15265 | Why not? |
15265 | Why not? |
15265 | Why should it be? |
15265 | Why should n''t people do anything they wants to? |
15265 | Why should we trust him? |
15265 | Why, Aunt Rachel, how are you? |
15265 | Why, Bles, what''s the matter? |
15265 | Why, Zora? |
15265 | Why, certainly,Mrs. Vanderpool agreed, and then curiously:"What?" |
15265 | Why, dangerous? |
15265 | Why, how do you do, Robert? |
15265 | Why, it''s civil- service, is n''t it? |
15265 | Why, one must live; and why not be happy? |
15265 | Why, what''s there? |
15265 | Why, yes--faltered Miss Taylor;"but-- wouldn''t that be difficult?" |
15265 | Why,he said at length,"are n''t you promoting it?" |
15265 | Why,in abrupt recognition,"it is our Venus of the Roadside, is it not?" |
15265 | Why? 15265 Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Will it take long? |
15265 | Will you come to hear me? |
15265 | With his bargain? |
15265 | With that hair? |
15265 | Wo n''t you come in? |
15265 | Wo n''t you try? |
15265 | Work? 15265 Would Bles care if I told?" |
15265 | Would it not be worth a fight? |
15265 | Yes, but ought you to tell them? |
15265 | Yes, this is it-- good- bye-- I must--"Wait-- what is your name? |
15265 | Yes-- but back of it all, what is it really? 15265 Yes?" |
15265 | You are a stranger? |
15265 | You are interested in bronzes? |
15265 | You are worse, father? |
15265 | You can depend on Taylor, of course? |
15265 | You do n''t mean that any one can advise a black man to vote the Democratic ticket? |
15265 | You had quite forgotten what you were waiting for-- isn''t that so, Sis? |
15265 | You know the Cresswells, then? |
15265 | You know the people pretty well, then? |
15265 | You mean it will stand in law? |
15265 | You mean the Smiths of Boston? |
15265 | You mean you can pay what we ask? |
15265 | You mean youse gwine to git yo''livin''off it? |
15265 | You remember our visit to Senator Smith? |
15265 | You wished to see-- Caroline Wynn? |
15265 | You would not like me to act dishonestly, would you? |
15265 | You''d let a nigger vote? |
15265 | You''ve found some things worth knowing in this world, have n''t you, Zora? |
15265 | Zora,he said,"sometimes you tell lies, do n''t you?" |
15265 | Zora,she faltered,"will you leave me?" |
15265 | Zora,she presently broke into the girl''s absorption,"how would you like to be Ambassador to France?" |
15265 | Zora,she said evenly,"why did n''t you come to class when I called?" |
15265 | Zora--he gasped,"how-- how did you do it?" |
15265 | Zora? 15265 Zora?" |
15265 | _ The_ problem, you mean? |
15265 | A horror crept over Mary Cresswell: where had she lived that she had seen so little before? |
15265 | After all why should he care? |
15265 | After all, he kept saying to himself, what guarantee, what knowledge had he that this was not a"damned Yankee trick"? |
15265 | After all, which was worse-- a Cresswell or an Alwyn? |
15265 | After all, why should n''t it be? |
15265 | Ai n''t that all?" |
15265 | Always before she had been veiled from these folk: who had put the veil there? |
15265 | Alwyn?" |
15265 | Alwyn?" |
15265 | And Bles-- was Miss Taylor deceived?--or was he chuckling? |
15265 | And Carrie Wynn-- poor Carrie, with her pride and position dragged down in his ruin: how would she take it? |
15265 | And how much have you paid a year?" |
15265 | And if it were? |
15265 | And suppose I had?" |
15265 | And then, brightening, he asked gayly:"And we''ll be friends always, wo n''t we?" |
15265 | And who could furnish that illumination better than Zora, the calm, methodical Zora, who knew them so well? |
15265 | And why are you afraid for her?" |
15265 | And why not?" |
15265 | And yet, once in the hands of these past- masters of debt- manipulation, would her school be safe? |
15265 | And yet, why should she hesitate? |
15265 | And you graduated, I suppose, and all that?" |
15265 | And, Sam, ca n''t you find us a sandwich and something cool? |
15265 | Anything on?" |
15265 | Are you blind? |
15265 | Are you dumb? |
15265 | Are you willing to try?" |
15265 | Are you?" |
15265 | As the black porter passed her she said gently:"Is smoking allowed in here?" |
15265 | As the two white riders approached the buggy one said to the other:"Who''s that nigger with?" |
15265 | At any rate, who was better? |
15265 | At last, however, she said happily to Zora:"Well, the battle''s over, is n''t it?" |
15265 | Aye, face it boldly-- what? |
15265 | Bles, where was he? |
15265 | But Bles asked coldly:"Why did n''t you have him arrested?" |
15265 | But before?" |
15265 | But could she do it? |
15265 | But could she live? |
15265 | But did he desire her as a wife? |
15265 | But do you know I like the girl? |
15265 | But do you know that we''re encountering opposition from the most unexpected source?" |
15265 | But how about the Smith School? |
15265 | But how had it been saved? |
15265 | But if she talked again of mere men would these devotees listen? |
15265 | But if she went there what would she see and do, and would it be possible to become such a woman as Miss Smith pictured? |
15265 | But if she were especially invited? |
15265 | But it does n''t, does it?" |
15265 | But these are not my children, they are the children of Negroes; we ca n''t quite forget that, can we?" |
15265 | But to Miss Taylor:"I beg pardon-- er-- Miss Smith?" |
15265 | But what did I say so funny?" |
15265 | But what does it matter? |
15265 | But what of that? |
15265 | But who? |
15265 | But why lonely? |
15265 | But would she make a satisfactory maid? |
15265 | But, pshaw!--he poured himself a glass of brandy-- was he not rich and young? |
15265 | By the way, what did that letter say about a''sister''?" |
15265 | Ca n''t we keep wages where we like by threatening to bring in nigger labor?" |
15265 | Can you be ready by eleven?" |
15265 | Child? |
15265 | Could it be possible that all unconsciously she had dared dream a forbidden dream? |
15265 | Could it be that this Negro had dared to misunderstand her-- had presumed? |
15265 | Could she be brought back to a useful life? |
15265 | Cresswell?" |
15265 | Cresswell?" |
15265 | Cresswell?" |
15265 | Did God ask that, too? |
15265 | Did John think she had nothing else to do? |
15265 | Did colored people attend the ball? |
15265 | Did he know of the mortgage, too? |
15265 | Did he understand? |
15265 | Did n''t you see her while she was here? |
15265 | Did she intend to exhibit? |
15265 | Did she want him to find her? |
15265 | Did you notice how unhealthy the children looked? |
15265 | Do n''t they ever get there?" |
15265 | Do n''t we own the mill? |
15265 | Do n''t you remember those fine bales of cotton that came out of there several seasons ago?" |
15265 | Do n''t you see the two schemes ca n''t mix? |
15265 | Do n''t you see you''re planning to cut off your noses? |
15265 | Do n''t you want to come up and help me look?" |
15265 | Do you dance and laugh, and hear and see not? |
15265 | Do you expect to buy that land for five dollars an acre?" |
15265 | Do you know the man that stands ready to gobble up every inch of cotton land in this country at a price which no trust can hope to rival?" |
15265 | Do you know-- I''ve wondered if-- quite unconciously, it is you? |
15265 | Do you think the plantation system can be maintained without laborers? |
15265 | Does n''t Cresswell know this?" |
15265 | Does one"appeal"to the red- eyed beast that throttles him? |
15265 | Dr. Boldish, naturally the appointed spokesman, looked helplessly about and whispered to Mrs. Vanderpool:"What on earth shall I talk about?" |
15265 | Ever met him?" |
15265 | Faith without works is dead; who is you that dares to set and wait for the Lord to do your work?" |
15265 | Fight? |
15265 | Find out for us just what this revolt is, how far it goes, and what good men we can get to swing the darkies into line-- see?" |
15265 | From the other side the words came distinctly and clearly:"--other children, doctor?" |
15265 | From these Southerners?" |
15265 | Glad? |
15265 | Had Mrs. Stillings heard of the new art movement? |
15265 | Had Zora thought of them? |
15265 | Had he dreamed? |
15265 | Had he seen a haunt? |
15265 | Had it been real? |
15265 | Had she herself hung it before her soul, or had they hidden timidly behind its other side? |
15265 | Had she met this stately ceremony with enough breeding to show that she too was somebody? |
15265 | Had you heard?" |
15265 | Harry Cresswell laid his hand on his father''s arm and said quietly:"And where do we come in?" |
15265 | Harry Cresswell was not a bad man-- are there any bad men? |
15265 | Has John written you?" |
15265 | Have I got a little of the year''s wage coming to me?" |
15265 | Have I made my clothes and food? |
15265 | Have I paid my old debts to you? |
15265 | Have you a young man named Alwyn on your eligible list? |
15265 | Have you seen this?" |
15265 | He bent to her fiercely:"Who?" |
15265 | He frowned as he noted the footprints pointing to Elspeth''s-- what did Mary Taylor want there? |
15265 | He had not thought that white people had such troubles; yet, he reflected, why not? |
15265 | He leaned against his hoe and talked half dreamily-- where had he learned so well that dream- talk? |
15265 | He watched her silently, till, waking from her daydream, she abruptly asked:"Where you from?" |
15265 | Helen regarded her brother through her veiling lashes: what meant this sudden assumption of warmth and amiability? |
15265 | Her heart answered back:"What is impossible to youth and resolution?" |
15265 | Her little hands groped and wandered over his close- curled hair, and she sobbed, deep voiced:"Will you-- marry me, Bles?" |
15265 | His voice came slow and firm:"Emma? |
15265 | Hit''s hot, ai n''t it? |
15265 | How could she find out? |
15265 | How dares the black puppy to ignore a Cresswell on the highway? |
15265 | How goes the great battle for black men''s rights? |
15265 | How is she, and where?" |
15265 | How is you?" |
15265 | How large is your place?" |
15265 | How much had Mrs. Cresswell ever known of Zora? |
15265 | How much? |
15265 | I do n''t like work-- do you?" |
15265 | I found''em and I dassen''t sell''em open, see? |
15265 | I hope John''s well?" |
15265 | I said:"''Judge, a friend is expecting me at two,''it was then half- past one,''would I not best telephone?''" |
15265 | I wanted to go in the trap-- take me?" |
15265 | I was so afraid he would miss it and think that Right did n''t win in Life, that I wrote him--""You wrote him? |
15265 | I wonder if I''m selling my birthright for six thousand dollars?" |
15265 | I''d marry Carrie-- but how can I help you?" |
15265 | I''ll put stuff into him that''ll make him wave the bloody shirt at the next meeting of the Bethel Literary-- see? |
15265 | If his intense belief happened to be popular, all right; but if not? |
15265 | If it failed, would not they fail? |
15265 | If she was not careful--"But what is it you want?" |
15265 | If the former, how far could they trust him; if the latter, what was his game? |
15265 | If this went on, the day would surely come when Negroes felt no respect or fear whatever for whites? |
15265 | If, now, you could drop a word here and there--""But why should I?" |
15265 | In that time what had happened? |
15265 | In the parlor and have the servants astounded and talking? |
15265 | In town?" |
15265 | In vain her shrewd New England reason asked:"What can a half- taught black girl do in this wilderness?" |
15265 | Is it fair-- to the children?" |
15265 | Is it fair? |
15265 | Is it yo''s?" |
15265 | Is it you, little wife, come back to accuse me? |
15265 | Is n''t that your idea, Miss Smith?" |
15265 | Is that an excuse for saying it?" |
15265 | Is that woman''s brother going to spend this money? |
15265 | Is that you, Mr. Cole? |
15265 | It might rain only an hour or so, but, suppose it should rain a day-- two days-- a week? |
15265 | It occurred to her that she had heard that name before-- but where? |
15265 | It seemed to her that every breeze and branch was instinct with sympathy, and murmuring,"What''s the use?" |
15265 | It was all right, and yet why so suddenly had the threads of life let go? |
15265 | Mary?" |
15265 | Mr. Cresswell says they own almost no land here; think of it? |
15265 | Mrs. Vanderpool was right: culture and-- some masses, at least-- were not to be linked; and, too, culture and work-- were they incompatible? |
15265 | Must I study five years?" |
15265 | Must she live? |
15265 | My father writes me that they are showing signs of expecting money right off-- is that true? |
15265 | New York?" |
15265 | No spontaneity either-- rather languid, did you notice? |
15265 | Nothing? |
15265 | Now here,_ every_thing seems to be happening; but what is it that is happening?" |
15265 | Now, I wonder where they got the music? |
15265 | Now, have n''t you a girl about here who would do?" |
15265 | Now, if I get the job, how would you like to be my assistant?" |
15265 | On the porch and have Mr. Maxwell ride up? |
15265 | Or had it been some witch- vision of the night, come to tempt and lure him to his undoing? |
15265 | Or was it simply a brute fact, regardless of both of them? |
15265 | Or was the elf- girl real? |
15265 | Or, was he happy? |
15265 | Our?--was_ our_ right? |
15265 | Perhaps a mortgage on the strength of the endowment? |
15265 | See? |
15265 | Senator Smith regarded him again: was Cresswell playing a shrewd game? |
15265 | Shall I make him an enemy? |
15265 | Shall I resign and beg, or go tilting at windmills? |
15265 | Shall I try in addition to reform? |
15265 | She answered dully, groping for words, for she was tired:"Who is it?" |
15265 | She continued after a pause:"May I venture to ask a favor of you?" |
15265 | She did not expect this, but she asked the porter:"Do you know where I can get a lunch?" |
15265 | She dreamed and sang over that dark field, and again and again appealed to him:"S''pose it should n''t come up after all?" |
15265 | She felt impelled to go forward and ask-- what? |
15265 | She had thought of him as a boy-- an old student, a sort of confidential servant; but what had he thought? |
15265 | She held her burning head-- was not everything plain? |
15265 | She helped herself to a chocolate and called out musically:"Pa, are you going to town today?" |
15265 | She must be sent to boarding- school, somewhere far away; but the money? |
15265 | She must offer this unsullied soul up unto God in mighty atonement-- but how? |
15265 | She rang the bell, asking the trim black maid:"Is there a person named Caroline Wynn living in this house?" |
15265 | She seemed to feel rather than hear his presence, and she inquired softly:"Who''s it, Bles?" |
15265 | She smiled and said sweetly,"Wo n''t you sit?" |
15265 | She tried to think it out: what could have happened? |
15265 | She was thinking rapidly-- Was this the Way? |
15265 | She wondered how she had done her part-- had she been too eager and school- girlish? |
15265 | She''ll be reasonable, wo n''t she, and placate the Cresswells?... |
15265 | She''s planning to call some day-- shall you be at home?" |
15265 | Should he be one? |
15265 | Somewhat to Miss Taylor''s surprise Miss Smith said nothing until they were parting for the night, then she asked:"Was Miss Cresswell at home?" |
15265 | Successful? |
15265 | Suppose Mr. Alwyn should take this occasion to make a thorough defence of the party?" |
15265 | Suppose he asked Caroline Wynn to help him in this case? |
15265 | Suppose such a conjunction should come to pass? |
15265 | Teerswell nodded and said:"Well, what do you think of last night?" |
15265 | That''s the way it is now, see? |
15265 | The Negroes are not, then, very efficient?" |
15265 | The Silver Fleece, how was it? |
15265 | The Sun, the Swamp? |
15265 | The World, the great mysterious World, that stretched beyond the swamp and into which Bles and the Silver Fleece had gone-- did it lead to the Way? |
15265 | The lagoon had been level with the dykes a week ago; and now? |
15265 | The swamp, the eternal swamp, had been drained in its deepest fastness; but, how?--how? |
15265 | The teacher in Miss Taylor strove to rebuke this unconventional greeting but the woman in her spoke first and asked almost before she knew it--"Why?" |
15265 | The way where?" |
15265 | Then Mary Taylor, whose conscience was uncomfortable, said:"But, Mr. Cresswell, you surely believe in schools like Miss Smith''s?" |
15265 | Then Miss Taylor said, absently:"Zora, what do you propose to do when you grow up?" |
15265 | Then after a pause:"When will you go, Zora?" |
15265 | Then faint and fainter whisperings: what could be worse than death? |
15265 | Then he said:"Colonel Cresswell, who drew this contract of sale?" |
15265 | Then in sudden fury,"Ye generation of vipers-- who kin save you?" |
15265 | Then she said dreamily:"We''se known us all our lives, and-- before, ai n''t we?" |
15265 | Then there was Zora; what had she said and hinted to Mary? |
15265 | Then what? |
15265 | Then with a puzzled look:"I wonder why?" |
15265 | They ca n''t concentrate; notice how some slept when Dr. Boldish was speaking? |
15265 | Treat Alwyn well and call on Miss Wynn as usual-- see?" |
15265 | Used to be one of our servants-- you remember? |
15265 | Usually, while he played at loving, women grovelled; for was he not a Cresswell? |
15265 | Was Cresswell back of Taylor? |
15265 | Was Death the Way-- the wide, dark Way? |
15265 | Was Elspeth now at peace? |
15265 | Was it all straight, or did the whole move conceal a trick? |
15265 | Was it not a rather dangerous experiment? |
15265 | Was it not the King''s Highway? |
15265 | Was it possible that the price of Alwyn''s manhood would be her husband''s appointment to Paris? |
15265 | Was not everything clear? |
15265 | Was there a change, sudden, cataclysmic? |
15265 | Was there, after all, some"nigger- loving"conspiracy back of the cotton combine? |
15265 | Was this rain beating down and back her love for him, or had she never loved? |
15265 | Was this--"Nell''s"? |
15265 | We''ll get this committee which Taylor suggests appointed, and send it on a junket to Alabama; you do the rest-- see?" |
15265 | We''ll put the cotton inspection bill through in the last days of the session-- see? |
15265 | Well, I''m going to give you some money-- do you know why?" |
15265 | Well, why has he no appointment? |
15265 | What a world it was, and after all how far was this black boy wrong? |
15265 | What did he care? |
15265 | What did he ever do? |
15265 | What did she think? |
15265 | What do you propose?" |
15265 | What does de good Book say? |
15265 | What does it look like?" |
15265 | What else could she have dreamed? |
15265 | What for?" |
15265 | What good will it do?" |
15265 | What had happened? |
15265 | What had happened? |
15265 | What kind of a woman was Zora now? |
15265 | What must he pay for success? |
15265 | What new force was he loosening against his black folk-- his own black folk, who had lived about him and his fathers nigh three hundred years? |
15265 | What of the morning? |
15265 | What school?" |
15265 | What should she do? |
15265 | What time?" |
15265 | What was Washington, and what was this fine, tall, quiet residence? |
15265 | What was he to her? |
15265 | What was she doing? |
15265 | What was the use of trying for anything? |
15265 | What was"Nell''s"? |
15265 | What would Elspeth do? |
15265 | What would happen to her? |
15265 | What would they say if he failed to get the office? |
15265 | What''s a maid?" |
15265 | What''s your name?" |
15265 | What? |
15265 | When shall I begin?" |
15265 | Where can we get land, with Cresswell owning every inch and bound to destroy us?" |
15265 | Where had Mrs. Cresswell seen her before? |
15265 | Where had she known him? |
15265 | Where is it? |
15265 | Where should she receive him? |
15265 | Where was that black and flaming cabin? |
15265 | Where was the girl-- the soul that had called him? |
15265 | Where was the poor spoiled woman? |
15265 | Where was the use of imagining? |
15265 | Where was"Nell''s"? |
15265 | Where, Zora? |
15265 | Where, and what mark?" |
15265 | Who ever heer''d of such working land on shares?" |
15265 | Who had rushed the news to this woman? |
15265 | Who was caring for her, and what was she doing? |
15265 | Who was doing it? |
15265 | Who was he to falter when she called? |
15265 | Who was he to stand and judge this unselfish woman? |
15265 | Who was putting her to bed and smoothing the pillow? |
15265 | Who would win-- the witch, or Jason? |
15265 | Who''s responsible?" |
15265 | Who, then, should be nominated? |
15265 | Whom do you think that''s for?" |
15265 | Why had he not known? |
15265 | Why had he not stood his ground? |
15265 | Why had it not occurred to her before in her blindness? |
15265 | Why had neither Mary nor John Taylor mentioned this? |
15265 | Why had she asked for her? |
15265 | Why had she asked for this girl? |
15265 | Why had she not bound him to her? |
15265 | Why had they not let her see the child-- just one look at its little dead face? |
15265 | Why had they stolen from her? |
15265 | Why is you trying to make dis ole world better? |
15265 | Why not go back to the South where she had gone? |
15265 | Why not go see him? |
15265 | Why not send Zora? |
15265 | Why not take this young man in hand and make a Negro leader of him-- a protagonist of ten millions? |
15265 | Why not? |
15265 | Why should he be elbowed into the roadside dust by an insolent bully? |
15265 | Why should he not be as other men? |
15265 | Why should he pose as better than his fellows? |
15265 | Why should not he go back, too? |
15265 | Why should we who have sacrifice the substance for the shadow?" |
15265 | Why should you spoil this black girl and put impossible ideas into her head? |
15265 | Why was it? |
15265 | Why was she drifting in vast waters; in uncharted wastes of sea? |
15265 | Why was she restless and vaguely ill at ease so often these days? |
15265 | Why were her eyes wet today and her mind on the Silver Fleece? |
15265 | Why worry with more?" |
15265 | Why, are you daft? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Why? |
15265 | Will you go South with Mr. Cresswell? |
15265 | Will you go?" |
15265 | Will you hear? |
15265 | Will you marry me?" |
15265 | Wo n''t you take a stand on some of these progressive matters-- this bill, or the Child Labor movement, or Low Tariff legislation?" |
15265 | Would Rob become a tenant when she asked? |
15265 | Would Uncle Isaac help her build a log home? |
15265 | Would Zora make one or would this blow send her to perdition? |
15265 | Would he be amenable to her training and become worldly wise? |
15265 | Would not comradeship on the basis of the new friendship which she insisted on, be the death of love and thoughts of love? |
15265 | Would she go? |
15265 | Would she, could she, lay aside her pride and cynicism, her dainty ways and little extravagances? |
15265 | Would the boys help her some time to clear some swamp land? |
15265 | Would they fall? |
15265 | Would this woman recognize that fact and respect him accordingly? |
15265 | Would you like it?" |
15265 | Yes-- how about Mrs. Grey''s education schemes?... |
15265 | Yes?" |
15265 | Yet how should she do it? |
15265 | You can wheel the planters into line-- will you do it?" |
15265 | You do n''t really expect to keep the darkies down forever, do you?" |
15265 | You never had a witch for a mammy-- did you?" |
15265 | You remember that day when Mr. Easterly called?" |
15265 | You see? |
15265 | You surely remember that awful scarlet dress? |
15265 | _ Eleven_ THE FLOWERING OF THE FLEECE"Zora,"observed Miss Smith,"it''s a great blessing not to need spectacles, is n''t it?" |
15265 | _ Thirty- one_ A PARTING OF WAYS"Was the child born dead?" |
15265 | bang!_"Who''s that?" |
15265 | do n''t you love to be frank and open?" |
15265 | inwardly commented Miss Taylor--"literally born in cotton, and-- Oh, well,"as much as to ask,"What''s the use?" |
15265 | it is n''t as bad as that all over the world, is it?" |
15265 | now where is that paper?" |
15265 | on Saturday?" |
15265 | vaguely--"dreams? |
15265 | was not all her life simply the want of him?--why had she not bound him to her when he had offered himself? |
15265 | where do you teach?" |
15265 | where is she? |
