44422 | or by rotatory motions? |
44422 | or will he harrow the valleys after thee? |
44422 | or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?'' |
28101 | Ah, yes, would you mind telling us-- we''re from the West, you know-- just which are the-- the improvements, and which the rooms? |
28101 | But,we gasped,"where''s the rest of the things? |
28101 | How much? |
28101 | I want to know,I repeated,"what was all that noise down here last night?" |
28101 | Oh, an''is_ that_ it? 28101 Oh, he did?" |
28101 | Oh, he laughed, did he? |
28101 | So yez''ll be after telling the landlord, will yez? 28101 Thomas?" |
28101 | Wh-- where are-- they? |
28101 | What do you mean? |
28101 | D''y''mind?" |
28101 | Finally she said:--"Well, and when did yez order it turned on?" |
28101 | Griffin?" |
28101 | I demanded,"by making such a horrible racket down here in the middle of the night?" |
28101 | I said:--"What''s the matter with our heat up- stairs?" |
28101 | I thought----""Yez thought you could get it of me, did yez?" |
28101 | Kep''yez awake, eh? |
28101 | Lady Rosa Vere de Smith, Have we no voice to reach you with? |
28101 | People always do in panics, do n''t they?" |
28101 | She answered:--"An''it''s what''s the matter with yer heat, is it? |
28101 | This on the fourth day-- or was it the fifth? |
28101 | Was the janitor murdering her husband? |
28101 | Well, thin, an''what_ is_ the matter with yer heat up- stairs?" |
28101 | What air yez, then, sallymandhers?" |
28101 | Who is it that''s here?" |
28101 | Yez want to know what was the_ ni''se_, do yez? |
28530 | ''Hello, what in h---- are ye doin''down there, Job?'' 28530 ''You cut fer camp, an''bring a rope, an''git me out o''this,_ quick_, d''ye hear?'' |
28530 | How''s that, Job? |
28530 | Just as he stands? |
28530 | Shure an''why not that? |
28530 | What d''ye s''pose he wants wid us, Barney, annyhow? |
28530 | Where in thunder was yer gun? |
28530 | Which does he go shy on, Mr. Toomey, the love or the fear? |
28530 | Will you believe it, boys? 28530 An''what''s he goin''to eat, anyways, I''d like to know? |
28530 | But what was wanted of him? |
28530 | But where was his rifle? |
28530 | Could it be that they wanted him? |
28530 | Do you suppose that grizzly was goin''to be afraid o''_ me?_ He''d seen me afraid o''_ him_, all right. |
28530 | If not Brace Timmins''dog, as every one made prudent haste to acknowledge, then whose dog was it? |
28530 | Let me be now, wo n''t''ee, old mate?" |
28530 | See?" |
28530 | Should he bag this bear, or should he wait and sound his call again a little later, in the hope of yet summoning the great bull? |
28530 | The wolf cocked his ears slightly and looked about carelessly, as if to say,"What''s that?" |
28530 | Was he badly hurt? |
28530 | Was he to die of thirst and hunger on this high solitude before he could recover sufficiently to climb down? |
28530 | What dog indeed could have mastered Anderson''s"Dan"? |
28530 | What monster could it be that was giving so much trouble? |
28530 | What''ll ye take, boys? |
28530 | What''ll you take for him?" |
28530 | Where was the rest of the pack? |
34454 | Ca n''t you see they''re just a couple of puppies larking round? |
34454 | Can ye do it, man? |
34454 | Did ever ye see the likes o''that for nerve? |
34454 | Had n''t ye better be fetchin''the canoe round to the front, where ye kin keep an eye onto it? |
34454 | How''ll ye like it, sleepin''along o''that bunch o''bed- fellers, Tom? |
34454 | It_ is_ becoming, is n''t it? |
34454 | Think''twon''t be too cold fer ye by the door? |
34454 | What''ll ye be givin''me,he inquired, proffering his plug of choice tobacco,"ef I git yer pig back fer ye?" |
34454 | What''s that, now, way down behind them yaller birch trunks? |
34454 | What''s the good o''spilin''good skins by shootin''''em now? 34454 Who''s been lettin''loose the menagerie? |
34454 | Why did n''t ye let me have a hand in the job? |
34454 | _ Kr- rr- rr- eee?_he murmured softly, as if in sarcastic interrogation. |
34454 | But I''d like to know who''s been here afore us, an''_ rolled up_ this here skin so tidy- like? |
34454 | But why were they there? |
34454 | Did ever ye see so many o''them together afore?" |
34454 | Guess we''ll call it square, eh?" |
34454 | How did it happen that the trail had thus grown fresh all at once? |
34454 | If the bird died agonizingly afterwards, who was going to swear that he was the slayer? |
34454 | Or hev I got the nightmare, mebbe?" |
34454 | Should he follow up the trail at once? |
34454 | They have no intuition, so how can they understand?" |
34454 | They''ve et ther rabbits, an''what''s one small rabbit to a_ rale_ hungry bear? |
34454 | What could a moose- cow be thinking about to remain so near the dangerous neighbourhood of a man? |
34454 | What would they want to travel for, when they''d got such a dead easy thing right here?" |
34454 | What''ll ye take now?" |
34454 | Where, then, could she be? |
34454 | Why did n''t I think o''that afore?" |
34454 | Why should the ungodly triumph? |
34454 | Will ye look at them rabbits down yander? |
38675 | Ai n''t yer got enough fresh meat in this''ere cow I''ve foraged fer ye? 38675 But what was that noise we heard, along about an hour back? |
38675 | Did ye think to bring anything to eat with ye? |
38675 | Do ye want to be left to the b''ars and the h''a''nts, in the big black woods, all by yer lonesome? |
38675 | How fur, would ye say? |
38675 | Or would ye rather be et, good an''decent, an''save ye a heap o''frettin''? |
38675 | So ye''re goin''to be Mary''s ma, eh? |
38675 | What did I tell ye? |
38675 | What ye doin''here, sonny? 38675 What''re ye gruntin''about, Tom?" |
38675 | Whatever would we have done without Mary? |
38675 | Which is nearest,queried Jackson,"Conroy''s Upper Camp, or Gillespie''s, over to Red Brook?" |
38675 | Who''d ever''a''thought any bull elk could lick a painter_ that_ quick? |
38675 | But something seemed to tug suddenly at his arm-- or was it at his heart? |
38675 | But what did he care for the disapproval of the sorrel horse? |
38675 | Could he check himself before reaching the brink? |
38675 | Did you shoot anything?" |
38675 | Hain''t yer got no consideration for Mary''s feelings? |
38675 | How long, he wondered, would the sentinel remain tireless? |
38675 | How was it possible that such an awful sound should come from those unmoving wings? |
38675 | Or how long would those ravening watchers remain obedient to the authority that denied their hunger relief? |
38675 | Then he came and glared up at McLaggan, as much as to say:"Did you see that? |
38675 | What d''ye want fer her as she stands?" |
38675 | What d''ye want o''me, anyhow?" |
38675 | What if one of the misguided birds should foul his propeller or come blundering aboard and snap a stay or a control wire? |
38675 | What was the chill and lonely wilderness to him, a dog? |
38675 | What was the great owl trying to get at, when the precious fish were all spread out before her? |
38675 | What''ll ye take?" |
38675 | What, then, was in the basket? |
38675 | Why did not the fugitive stop and make ready some defense? |
38675 | Why should he not climb up and help himself? |
36879 | And is it a name ye''r in want of, Sir? 36879 You big blackguard you, did n''t you get drunk and fall asleep?" |
36879 | ''An ounce a day,''said I,(_ the echo!_)''What is tobacco an ounce?'' |
36879 | ''Now, Sir,''said he,''can you smoke any, will you have a pipe?'' |
36879 | ''Perhaps 7_d._''''And how many years have you been in the habit of taking snuff?'' |
36879 | ''Sinful,''said he, laughing--(_jolly fellow!_)--''how can it be sinful?'' |
36879 | Are we singular in our opinion? |
36879 | I do take snuff: do YOU think there is sin in it, Sir?'' |
36879 | In regard to snuff he is wisely meek; for what were he himself without the stimulating dust in his pocket? |
36879 | It amounts to more than 60_l._ without the interest(_ profound calculation!_) Now, do you think that God will reward you for taking snuff?'' |
36879 | Well, and what do the faculty say with reference to smoking? |
36879 | What charm''d me in the thoughts of past, When mem''ry''s gleam my eyes o''ercast, And burns to serve me to the last? |
36879 | What cheer''d me in my boyhood''s hour, When first I felt Love''s witching power, To bear deceit,--false woman''s dow''r? |
36879 | What does not MOLIERE, their favorite author say, in favor of the herb? |
36879 | What sceptic so rash, dares breathe a doubt of the truth of this statement? |
36879 | What sooth''d me in a foreign land, And charm''d me with its influence bland, Still whisp''ring comfort, hand in hand? |
36879 | What soothes the peasant when his toil is done? |
36879 | What still upheld me since the guile, Attendant on false friendship''s smile, And I in hope, deceiv''d the while? |
36879 | What taught me first sweet peace to blend, With hopes and fears that knew no end, My dearest, truest, fondest friend? |
36879 | than in the inspired lines of thy true admirer Byron? |
36879 | why is it not true? |
18383 | ''Have you heard what has been determined about the horses?'' 18383 Why is this?" |
18383 | ''How?'' |
18383 | ''If you take them at all, why not take them in the face of day? |
18383 | ''You have made a great improvement by so doing,''I replied;''but are the British employed on this work?'' |
18383 | And again,"Can these Goths be the inventors of that architecture vulgarly called Gothic? |
18383 | And what shall we say of those lofty, slender, and finely fluted columns, which appear a part of the sublime structure they support? |
18383 | As for the poor weary wife, she thought of her crockery, and remarking in a matter of- fact way,"What shall we have for supper now?" |
18383 | But how can I help you in the matter, seeing that the work is not mine? |
18383 | But who can any longer consider these as wonders, after having seen so many in Rome? |
18383 | I asked one of the soldiers what they were there for? |
18383 | Milizia says of Theodoric,"Is this the language of a Gothic barbarian, the destroyer of good taste? |
18383 | One day I asked him, how he had attained to such a degree of perfection as to have gained so high a rank among the great painters of Italy? |
18383 | What were the Greeks then doing?" |
18383 | What would the ancients say, could they see our modern imitations of their labyrinths? |
18383 | Which are the most profane-- these pictures, or the Venus Anadyomene of Apelles, the Venus of Titian, and the Leda of Correggio? |
18383 | and are these the barbarians said to have been the destroyers of the beautiful monuments of antiquity? |
18383 | and if Filippo be ill, is that his fault?'' |
18383 | and what dost thou mean us to have for dinner, since thou hast overturned everything?'' |
18383 | do n''t you see that to create form and relief on a flat surface, is a greater labor than to fashion one shape into another?" |
18383 | eh? |
18383 | eh?'' |
18383 | is not Lorenzo there? |
18383 | said one of them,''do you not know what his intentions are?'' |
18383 | why does not he do something? |
18383 | why wilt thou not speak?" |
44518 | And why, fool,said the man of the house,"do not you answer at first, when people ask you who is there? |
44518 | Dog of a humpback, are you there again? |
44518 | Will you have half? |
44518 | --"And my poor arm, you have not forgot that?" |
44518 | --"No more Frenchmen, Brandt, though we beat them sometimes, eh?" |
44518 | --"What will you do with me then?" |
44518 | --"What''s that?" |
44518 | As Backbac went out of the house, three blind men, his companions, were going by, knew him by his voice, and asked him what was the matter? |
44518 | Backbac made no answer, and knocked a second time: the master of the house asked again and again,"who is there?" |
44518 | Do you imagine that I run such a hazard of falling by the hand of my adversary?'' |
44518 | Eat, I pray you; will you have some more sawce to your leek? |
44518 | Monsieur le Baron, shall I help you to a plate of this soup?" |
44518 | One day he knocked thus, and the master of the house, who was alone, cried,"who is there?" |
44518 | Sleep when he wakes? |
44518 | The doctor, astonished, asked him how he had been able to discover this? |
44518 | The judge, perceiving that he looked upon him with his eyes open, was much surprised, and said to him,"rogue, what is the meaning of this miracle?" |
44518 | They then asked for quarter, but Brandt''s only reply was,"Will you take the half of your money?" |
44518 | Tom observing his emotion, eyed him with a frown of indignation, saying,''You an''t afraid, are you?'' |
44518 | When they reached the chamber, the man let go his hand, and sitting down, asked him again what he wanted? |
44518 | Why should a man, whose blood is warm within, Sit like his grandsire, cut in alabaster? |
44518 | Will you be so good, scald knave, as eat it? |
44518 | _ A Scene from Shakspeare.__ Enter Fluellen and Gower.__ Gow._ Nay, that''s right: but why wear you your leek to day? |
44518 | _ Pist._ Must I bite? |
44518 | am I to do nothing but carry about this humpback?" |
44518 | and creep into the jaundice By being peevish?" |
44518 | art thou bedlam? |
44518 | but to no purpose, no one answered; upon which he came down, opened the door, and asked the man what he wanted? |
44518 | d''ye take me to be a savage beast?'' |
44518 | dost thou thirst, base Trojan, to have me fold up Parca''s fatal web? |
44518 | gemmen,"says the merry- andrew,"where are you? |
44518 | replied the challenger, stammering with fear,''what should I be afraid of? |
44518 | replied the other,''d''ye think he thirsts after my blood?'' |
44518 | the worst he can do is to''take my life, and then he''ll be answerable both to God and man for the murder: do n''t you think he will?'' |
44518 | what d''ye mean? |
44518 | why do you give any body the trouble to come and open the door when they speak to you?" |
21198 | Do I? |
21198 | Have you, sir; what is the subject? |
21198 | How do you like it? |
21198 | How do you like my picture? |
21198 | How do you like my picture? |
21198 | How goes it with thee, Rosa? |
21198 | How much? |
21198 | How so? |
21198 | How the devil should you know him? |
21198 | Now who the devil has done this? |
21198 | Of what avail is your threat,replied Giotto,"to a man whom you have doomed to death at any rate?" |
21198 | Pray, sir, what is that old man afraid of? |
21198 | Reasons, and good ones,said the artist, laughing;"see-- where could I find such a picture of life as that, unless among the originals of The Cabin?" |
21198 | Subject? 21198 What do you see, sir?" |
21198 | What does this signify, Giotto? |
21198 | Yes,said Blake,"the Virgin Mary appeared to me and told me it was very fine; what can you say to that?" |
21198 | ''Am I to have nothing more than this?'' |
21198 | ''And how goes it with Salvator?'' |
21198 | After a hearty shake of the hand, the boxer turned to his neighbor the chimney- sweep and said,"Why, Dick, do n''t you know this here gentleman? |
21198 | Dante, one day, quizzed him by asking,"Giotto, how is it that you, who make the children of others so beautiful, make your own so ugly?" |
21198 | Have prices risen or fallen?" |
21198 | I have been disappointed hitherto by the deceit of pretended friends-- shall I offend you if I offer myself next election?" |
21198 | Morland wistfully reconnoitered the house, and at length accosted the landlord--"Upon my life, I scarcely knew it: is this the Black Bull?" |
21198 | Once, when pressed about it, he peevishly exclaimed,"How should I know? |
21198 | One day Bonnycastle said to him, after dinner,"Fuseli, you can write well,--why do n''t you write something?" |
21198 | One day, his friend Donatello met him, and asked him,"What kind of work is this of thine, that thou art shutting up so closely?" |
21198 | Ten days had scarcely elapsed before every one who passed by enquired with eager curiosity,"when the picture would be finished?" |
21198 | The grateful painter once waited on the banker, and said,"I have finished the best of all my works-- the Lazar House-- when shall I send it home?" |
21198 | The_ something new_ startled a man whose imagination was none of the brightest, and he said,"How shall I find something new?" |
21198 | When he rose he enquired of Buonamico, if"he had seen more than a thousand demons wandering about his room, as he had himself in the night?" |
21198 | returned the lady,"pray, Mr. Jervas, what is a handsome ear?" |
21198 | what shall I write?" |
21198 | you will drive me mad-- Reynolds and Raffaelle!--a dwarf and a giant!--why will you waste all your fine words?" |
27933 | Do n''t you know that a beaver''s tail is supposed to be one of the finest delicacies in the woods? |
27933 | Put him back in the water? 27933 Say, Hulbert, what am I going to do?" |
27933 | Why do n''t you eat it? |
27933 | And is it likely that, even if he had tried for weeks and weeks, he could ever have found his wife of the previous summer? |
27933 | But how did his new friend feel about it? |
27933 | But was he hit hard? |
27933 | But was she the same wife who had helped him make the Glimmerglass ring with his shouting twelve months before? |
27933 | But what does that matter? |
27933 | But where was that gap in the fence? |
27933 | But you think he might have stayed with her, anyhow? |
27933 | Did you know that among all God''s creatures the birds are the only ones whose eyes close naturally in death? |
27933 | Do you blame him for not being more faithful to the memory of the bird who was shot at his side only a few months before? |
27933 | Do you suppose they recognized their mother? |
27933 | Do you think he was very inconstant? |
27933 | Do you want to know what they looked like? |
27933 | Does it make you wish you were a loon yourself? |
27933 | Had not she, too, put on a wedding- garment just like his? |
27933 | How could it have happened? |
27933 | Or shall we say the old love of work, and of using the powers and faculties that God had given him? |
27933 | Or, is there something deeper than that? |
27933 | Was it any wonder if he sometimes felt as if he would like to fight every other buck in Michigan, and all of them at once? |
27933 | Was it any wonder if in time the Porcupine came to think himself invulnerable? |
27933 | Was it to be reasonably expected that Mahng, when he was ready to return, would search every pond and stream from the Cumberland to the Gulf? |
27933 | Was not half of his right hand gone, and three toes from his left hind foot? |
27933 | What do you take me for?" |
27933 | Why should one live on rye- bread when one can have cake and ice- cream? |
27933 | Why should the thing that is called genius in a man be set down as instinct when we see it on a somewhat smaller scale in an animal? |
27933 | Would n''t she? |
27933 | Would she go with him? |
27933 | in a triumphant tone;"who says mice are n''t good bait? |
48636 | ''Answer, and answer quickly,''he said;''if you are a Gurkha, by what boat did you cross?'' 48636 ''But what about you, yourself?'' |
48636 | ''Have you bread? 48636 ''Why do you refuse good money for a good action, madame?'' |
48636 | And what did you get? |
48636 | Are the inhabitants of this part of France hospitable? |
48636 | But why do you prefer petticoats? |
48636 | He said they were all French, both Arabs and Frenchmen, and the English were their allies, were n''t they? 48636 I am often asked:''How is the Kaiser able to bear this physical and mental strain?'' |
48636 | I said:''Risbourg, did you tell him you were a German?'' 48636 I told him my trouble,"she said,"whereupon he asked me:''Are you a Pole or a Jew?'' |
48636 | IS THIS THE KAISER? |
48636 | Is this he? |
48636 | Puzzled by this announcement, the officer in command replied,''Who are you? 48636 The English? |
48636 | They did n''t get you, did they? |
48636 | When the French team scored a point,he writes,"I said to one of the Englishmen:''But are n''t you ashamed to let them beat you at your own game?'' |
48636 | Where did you lose it? |
48636 | Who was the grenadier chap? |
48636 | Why do you not wear your cap? |
48636 | Why,replied the man, with a grin,"do n''t you know? |
48636 | All in the same cause? |
48636 | Can you beat it? |
48636 | Did I tell you we got the bullet out, and he has it as a souvenir? |
48636 | Did Private Ewe get a new package of bandages? |
48636 | From the Staff Headquarters? |
48636 | Has the sun broken suddenly into the enemy''s land? |
48636 | How were they to be saved from the ambush into which they were marching? |
48636 | Light and life on all the ruins? |
48636 | May I kiss your hand?'' |
48636 | Some had more than one wound; he had seven? |
48636 | Then he asked me:"''Do you want these fellows shot?'' |
48636 | Then why were n''t they all fed alike? |
48636 | They are not like ours-- gentlemen-- and when they get a chance they gorge themselves and get mad drunk, so what can you expect from their men? |
48636 | They were all wounded? |
48636 | Up to now the shells have spared the wonderful city hall, but will this delightful Flemish city suffer after the manner of Arras? |
48636 | When I asked him what was the trouble he said:''Spik, maman?'' |
48636 | When the war is over and your husband or your son is asked,''What did you do in the great war?'' |
48636 | Where do you come from?'' |
48636 | Who is nursing you? |
48636 | Who would have believed that I was taking it to a hospital?" |
48636 | Would n''t that fease you? |
48636 | You? |
48636 | is he going to hang his head because you would not let him go? |
29839 | Ai n''t he the livin''image of Jim? |
29839 | And will you swear, too? |
29839 | But I thought as how ye would n''t kill anything? |
29839 | But how do you know there are sixteen or twenty beaver in my pond? |
29839 | But tell me, why did you bring me away out here to_ this_ pond, to tell me all this, when you could have done it just as well at_ my_ pond? |
29839 | But what do_ I_ care about_ trapping_ beaver? |
29839 | But why do n''t you_ shoot_ the poor little beggars? 29839 But, father,"protested his wife, in a doubtful voice,"how kin I leave Lidy an''Joe here alone?" |
29839 | But,continued Jabe,"what would ye say would most upset the beaver and make''em careless?" |
29839 | Did ever you see the likes of it, father? |
29839 | Hain''t I never set for hours in the wet ma''sh, never movin''a finger, waitin''for the geese? |
29839 | Hain''t I never sneaked up on a watchin''buck, or laid so still I''ve fooled a bear? |
29839 | Hardly seems fair to take them that way, does it? |
29839 | If we take away their guns, what''s the good of making them swear? |
29839 | So? |
29839 | The children? |
29839 | What are you going to do with them, Jabe? |
29839 | What do you mean by that? 29839 What do you mean?" |
29839 | What is it? |
29839 | What size do you use for the beaver? |
29839 | What''s it mean, Kid? 29839 Why-- where''ve they all gone to?" |
29839 | You do n''t, hey, sonny? |
29839 | You understand? 29839 An''what''s kep''you? 29839 And are you sure you could keep still long enough to see anything? |
29839 | And why did n''t Dave speak? |
29839 | And will you take oath, also, that you will never, in any way, try to get even with either him or me for having downed you this way?" |
29839 | But what''s wrong here? |
29839 | Can I have him, Unc''Joe?" |
29839 | Had he any special business with us, do you suppose?" |
29839 | How were they going to keep this unwelcome visitor from betraying them? |
29839 | IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SAY, WHY NOT? |
29839 | Now, supposin''you was goin''to trap, where would ye set the traps?" |
29839 | See?" |
29839 | That''s quicker for both, and just as easy for you, ai n''t it?" |
29839 | Then he said:"That was a mighty slick shot of yourn, d''ye know it? |
29839 | Then why had she not come? |
29839 | What could it mean? |
29839 | What will you show me?" |
29839 | What''s all this blood all over ye?" |
29839 | Where''s she gone to?" |
29839 | Where''s your camp, men?" |
29839 | Will you do as I ask you, or shall I go and get them?" |
29839 | what''s happened to him?" |
27887 | Ai n''t he a beauty? |
27887 | Could we not save the Buffalo as range- cattle? |
27887 | Did you never meet a Grizzly or a Mountain Lion? |
27887 | Do n''t you draw any color line? |
27887 | Harry, wo n''t you come out and let me take you back to mamma? 27887 If I come in a fur coat, will you treat me?" |
27887 | Now what_ did_ I catch you for? |
27887 | Say, bar- keep, who''s to pay? |
27887 | What is that? |
27887 | What is the meaning of this? |
27887 | What the---- is the---- meaning---- of this----? |
27887 | Where is my gun? |
27887 | Who owns wild beasts? 27887 ***** And afar in Livingston what did the fur dealer care? 27887 As we neared camp he turned on me suddenly and said:Now, Mr. Seton, what_ is_ the meaning of this? |
27887 | Could any simpler, smaller pleasure than his be discovered? |
27887 | Did he take alarm and run? |
27887 | Do any of you want a F- I- G- H- T----!-!-!?" |
27887 | Do n''t you see I''ve made Elk medicine and got her hypnotized? |
27887 | Harry, do n''t you know your mother? |
27887 | How''ll you swap that quirt for my rifle?" |
27887 | How? |
27887 | How? |
27887 | It was a great prize-- or the banker? |
27887 | My wife sat up and exclaimed,"Is n''t it glorious? |
27887 | Now I had him, what was I going to do with him-- kill him? |
27887 | Now what is the meaning of it?" |
27887 | Of what use are courage and strength when one can not reach the foe? |

27887 | Then I said to my wife,"Have n''t_ you_ got nerve enough to help with this box? |
27887 | What had he to fear-- he the little lord of all things with the power of smell? |
27887 | Which is the one?" |
27887 | Who can tell the crack of a small rifle among the louder cracks of green logs splitting with the fierce frost of a Yellowstone winter''s night? |
27887 | Who cares? |
27887 | Who knows? |
27887 | Who''s your friend?" |
27887 | Why did he not carry that little gun? |
27887 | Why did he not realize? |
27887 | Why should travel- worn, storm- worn travellers wake at each slight, usual sound? |
27887 | Why this difference? |
27887 | Why? |
27887 | Wo n''t you please look this way?" |
27887 | You see that pile of logs over there? |
27887 | do n''t you know me? |
27887 | he got his five hundred, and mother found it easy to accept the Indians''creed:"Who owns wild beasts? |
27887 | said one of the cowboys,"would n''t a little fresh milk go fine after all that ptomaine we''ve been feeding on?" |
27887 | what?" |
27887 | you want to see a real old- time Elk fight? |
3031 | A what? |
3031 | How''s things on the Perico? |
3031 | Is n''t this terribly cold? 3031 Nigh about chuck time?" |
3031 | What, you did n''t shoot? |
3031 | Where did you run across him? |
3031 | You did n''t have no reefreshments along? |
3031 | And why had such a notion never come till the Pussywillow Moon? |
3031 | And yet when, long afterward, I told this to one skilled in the occult, he looked grave, and said,"Bingo always turned to you in a crisis?" |
3031 | But why sometimes alone? |
3031 | Could it be of any use? |
3031 | Could it be possible that he had really killed the widow''s sheep? |
3031 | Could it be possible? |
3031 | Did every grave give up its little inmate at the magic word? |
3031 | Driven off thrice with gunshots, would she make another try to feed or free her captive young one? |
3031 | For weeks afterward I was almost daily accosted by some anxious shepherd, who asked,"Have you seen any stray OTO sheep lately?" |
3031 | Had she no head of game for this her only charge, or had she learned to trust his captors for his food? |
3031 | Had the keen huntress failed at last? |
3031 | Have the wild things no moral or legal rights? |
3031 | How came he to know that that would please? |
3031 | How was it to end? |
3031 | I took charge of the horses, vastly relieved, and with an air of assumed unconcern, asked,"All right?" |
3031 | If we were to abandon a yaller dog, a greyhound, and a bulldog on a desert island, which of them after six months would be alive and well? |
3031 | Indeed? |

3031 | Should I ever again see him alive? |
3031 | Sometimes his inspection produced only an air of grave attention, as though he said to himself,"Dear me, who the deuce is this?" |
3031 | The scornful reply of his owner was,"Why do n''t you try to buy one of the children?" |
3031 | Was it the drumming, or the tell- tale tracks of their snow- shoes on the omnipresent snow, that betrayed them to Cuddy? |
3031 | Was it the wild, clanging cry that moved them, or was it solely the inner prompting then come to the surface? |
3031 | Was she begging for mercy-- mercy from a bloodthirsty, cruel fox? |
3031 | What did it all mean? |
3031 | What right has man to inflict such long and fearful agony on a fellow- creature, simply because that creature does not speak his language? |
3031 | What satisfaction would be derived from a ten- page sketch of the habits and customs of Man? |
3031 | What should he do? |
3031 | What sleepless angel is it watches over and cares for the wild animals? |
3031 | What would become of me now? |
3031 | Whence now came the strange wish for someone else to admire the plumes? |
3031 | Who can tell what his horror and his mourning were? |
3031 | Who does not know it and feel it? |
3031 | Who now can say that there is nothing in omens? |
3031 | Why did I let my brother go away alone? |
3031 | Why does a happy boy holla? |
3031 | Why does a lonesome youth sigh? |
3031 | Why not forever with his Brownie bride? |
3031 | Without stirring I said,"Bing, do n''t you know me?" |
3031 | Would she? |
30396 | ''Well, and what then?'' 30396 ''What then? |
30396 | And pray, Master,says Pope with a sneer,"what is a_ note of interrogation_?" |

30396 | Doctor,he said, in his precise and quiet manner--"Doctor-- do you not think that they taste a little-- a very little, green?" |
30396 | Is it not better that he should fall by poison, than by the poignard? |
30396 | Is n''t that going a little too far the other way? |
30396 | What shall we do with Prince Mazare? |
30396 | Where is my march? |
30396 | Why am I to quit more than you? |
30396 | Will you do me the honour of accepting a copy of my works? |

30396 | A gentleman said to her,"Why do you say_ nineteen_? |

30396 | Can you picture to yourselves the palpitation of our hearts as we approached his mansion? |
30396 | Had the finite measured itself with infinity, instead of surrendering itself up to the influence? |
30396 | Haydn?" |
30396 | In going up to a lesson one day, he was accosted by a boy in the same form:"Porson, what have you got there?" |
30396 | Is it not like poetry, that embellishes every object that we contemplate?" |
30396 | Or, when inspired to humanize mankind, Where doth your soaring soul its subjects find? |
30396 | Sydney Smith compares Mr. Canning in office to a fly in amber:"nobody cares about the fly: the only question is, how the devil did it get there?" |
30396 | Two of them, in particular, were very zealously disputing,--one of them calling out to the other,"Well, Jack, what have you got?" |
30396 | Wherefore not eat snails? |
30396 | Why, my dear fellow, you do n''t mean to say that you have really got the gout? |
30396 | Would you believe it? |

30396 | exclaimed the old lady,"d''ye think I dinna ken my ain groats among other folk''s kail?" |
30396 | why, do n''t you see my gouty shoe?'' |
15938 | ''I believe there was,''said she;''but pray what do you want with it?'' 15938 ''What can detain them?'' |
15938 | ''Where have you been, husband?'' 15938 Ca n''t you give us an account of that mutiny at Morristown?" |
15938 | Did any of you ever hear or read an account of the night- attack on General Wayne, near Savannah, just before the close of the war? |
15938 | Did this affair happen before that of Andrà ©''s? |
15938 | Did you say you was with General Stark, at Bennington? |
15938 | Do you mean to say that the coward is the wisest man? |
15938 | Have you ever seen a painting of the fight between Colonel Allan M''Lean and some British troops? 15938 How long did the expedition occupy?" |
15938 | I do n''t want to interrupt your eating, Brown and Hanson,said Colson,"but could n''t you stir us up a little with the drum and fife?" |
15938 | It was almost equal to Alexander and Buce-- Buce-- Alexander the Great, and that wild horse you know he tamed when a boy-- what was its name? |

15938 | Were any of you at Quebec, with Arnold and Montgomery? |

15938 | What was the loss of the enemy that day? |
15938 | What was the number of the troops who arrived safe? |
15938 | Who told you that story? |
15938 | Who was he? |
15938 | Why did n''t he send the Indians to Greene''s camp, or some other American post? |
15938 | Will you tell us about the battle in which he fell? |
15938 | ''Can they have deceived me? |
15938 | ''Friend Roberts,''said the enterprising girl,''may this damsel and myself pass to visit a friend at a neighbouring farm?'' |
15938 | ''Ride him?'' |
15938 | ''What aim?'' |
15938 | And if he had not been, in the circumstances of amazing responsibility in which he was placed, how could he have been brave?" |
15938 | Besides, what wo n''t a woman do to save her husband, at all times?" |
15938 | Brown?" |
15938 | Come, which of you will tell something about George Washington-- the Father of his Country?" |
15938 | Delaplace then said,''By what authority do you demand it?'' |
15938 | Did Wayne slaughter the enemy at Stony Point? |
15938 | Did either of you ever see Henry Lee? |
15938 | Did he desert his post or shrink from the charge?'' |
15938 | Did n''t we, Hanson?" |
15938 | Galloping up to him, he inquired if a regiment of horse and body of infantry had passed that way? |
15938 | Say, was he not your sire? |
15938 | The justice only interrupted him with the occasional inquiry,''Most done?'' |
15938 | Then, turning to Rugsdale, he said,''Speak, sir, what does this mean?'' |
15938 | What could the enemy expect from our regulars?" |
15938 | What could you do with a gun?'' |
15938 | What''s the matter with you?" |
15938 | Which of you can oblige us by giving us your recollections of our first great struggle?" |
15938 | Why answer they not the signal?'' |
15938 | Why did the pilgrim cross the wave? |
15938 | are you going mad? |
15938 | said the old man,''has he misbehaved? |
15938 | why do n''t you disperse?'' |

41036 | Are you trying to commit suicide? |

41036 | Have you ever hit anything with that old gun of yours? |
41036 | How about dropping some of the fire- bars on the tracks? |
41036 | How about putting this in the middle of the track on the chance that it may entangle the wheels? |
41036 | How long since you''ve been wagon- master? |
41036 | I command here,said the Confederate colonel, rising from the middle pit,"and who are you, sir?" |
41036 | If you''re from the North,said one,"why do n''t you show us a Yankee trick before you go?" |
41036 | John, what in the world are you doing there? |
41036 | Little man, can you really drum? |
41036 | Major Keenan,shouted General Pleasonton,"how many men have you got?" |
41036 | Say, grandpa,called out one,"did you fight in the Revolution?" |
41036 | Well, general,answered Andrews slowly,"do n''t you think it''s worth trying? |
41036 | What are you doing down here? |
41036 | What are you doing, old man, wounded on a battle- field in citizens''clothes? |
41036 | What else? |
41036 | What is the meaning of all this? |
41036 | What the devil are you fellows stopping for? |
41036 | What will you do for me? |
41036 | What''s the matter with you fellows anyway,said Allen, as he reached the safety of the rear rank;"do you think I''m going to do all the fighting?" |
41036 | What''s your business,said one,"and what are you doing in that uniform?" |
41036 | Where are ye gaun, ye mason lads, Wi''a''your ladders lang and hie? |
41036 | Where be ye gaun, ye broken men? |

41036 | Why do n''t you get back to the rear where you belong? |
41036 | Why do n''t you play something else? |
41036 | Why trespass ye on the English side? 41036 You do n''t think I am going to die, do you, Bill?" |
41036 | ''Well,''I said,''General, I have only got twelve more bullets; ca n''t I shoot those?'' |
41036 | And as we cross''d the Bateable Land, When to the English side we held, The first o''men that we met wi'', Whae sould it be but fause Sakelde? |
41036 | And when we cam to the lower prison, Where Willie o''Kinmont he did lie--"O sleep ye, wake ye, Kinmont Willie, Upon the morn that thou''s to die?" |
41036 | But who shall break the guards that wait Before the awful face of Fate? |
41036 | General Grant called General Granger up to him and said angrily:"Did you order those men up, Granger?" |
41036 | How they hae ta''en bauld Kinmont Willie, On Haribee to hang him up? |
41036 | I turns around and right behind me was General George Washington, so I saluted and I says,''What is it, General?'' |
41036 | If I get him to you, do you think you can ease his pain?" |
41036 | O have ye na heard o''the keen Lord Scroope? |
41036 | The last verse sang the praise both of the rider and the horse:"What was done? |
41036 | Then loud the warden''s trumpet blew--"O wha dare meddle wi''me?" |
41036 | What can I do for you?" |
41036 | What you hangin''back for?" |
41036 | Where are you going?" |

38423 | Who is going to speak? |
38423 | Why this jumpin up and singin? 38423 A boy came along and asked to be admitted to the club, and the members asked,Are you Irish?" |
38423 | A solum female, lookin sumwhat like a last year''s bean- pole stuck into a long meal bag, cum in and axed me was I a thurst and did I hunger? |
38423 | Can he be successfully imitated? |
38423 | Can we find a measure for such a man? |
38423 | Did he believe, as Mark Twain said, that"Everything human is pathetic; the secret source of humor is not joy, but sorrow?" |
38423 | Did he use his humor to disarm opposition, to gain good will, or to throw a mantle around his own melancholy thoughts? |
38423 | Do n''t you see he''s worrid most to death? |
38423 | During the evening he asked Mr. Evarts, of New York,"why Chicago was like a hen crossing the street?" |
38423 | How do you like that air perfumery?" |
38423 | How do you select those you will let in when you ca n''t see them all?" |

38423 | Sez I,"Square, you would n''t take a small post- offiss if you could git it, would you?" |
38423 | Sez I,"What duz it siggerfy?" |
38423 | Sez I,"William, how so?" |
38423 | Shall one brother put the knife to the throat of anuther brother? |
38423 | Shall the star spangled Banner be cut up into dishcloths? |
38423 | Shall we make a 2nd Mexico of ourselves? |
38423 | Shall we mix our whisky with each other''s blud? |
38423 | Shall we sell our birthrite for a mess of potash? |
38423 | So he said to Mr. Ward,"How did Adam get out of Eden?" |
38423 | So sez I,"marrige is agin your rules, I bleeve, marm?" |
38423 | Sumtimes I ax myself"is it not a dream?" |
38423 | The Committee were lost in admiration for a few moments, when they recovered, and asked one of Honest Old Abe''s boys whose boy he was? |
38423 | The farmer could not let go for fear he would fall and break his head, but he called out to the bull,"Who started this mess, anyway?" |
38423 | This long weskit bizniss, and this anty- matrimony idee? |
38423 | W.] But we''ve got the Afrikan, or ruther he''s got us,& now what air we going to do about it? |
38423 | Was it merely an example of the attraction of opposites? |
38423 | What air you here for?" |
38423 | What say?" |
38423 | What''s the good of continnerly stirrin him up with a ten- foot pole? |
38423 | When the neighbor then asked,"Has she called you''Honey''yet?" |
38423 | When we broke up, sez I,"my pretty dears, ear I go you hav no objections, hav you, to a innersent kiss at partin?" |
38423 | Who knows? |
38423 | Why cumber the shelf with another sketch? |
38423 | Why did his laugh vibrate so far, and why was his humor so inimitable? |
38423 | Would thow like to be a Shaker?" |
38423 | cried I. Sez he,"What did you bring this pussylanermus cuss here fur?" |
2284 | Ca n''t you feed her? 2284 Dead?" |
2284 | Look at that eye, those wings, and did you ever see such a breast? 2284 Luk at thot, would ye-- but ai n''t he a Little Warhorse?" |
2284 | Oh, Mr. Director, can not you persuade him to sell that beautiful creature? |

2284 | That so? |
2284 | What''s the good? 2284 Where''s that thar onsurpassable, fearless, scaired- o''-nort Tarrier?" |
2284 | Who''s dead-- where are you? 2284 Why not have him expressed to Mendoza?" |

2284 | Ai n''t that foine?" |
2284 | All? |
2284 | And Duskymane? |
2284 | And now what? |
2284 | And the Dogs-- were they closing the gap of start? |
2284 | And the Little Warhorse-- where was he in all this? |
2284 | As the meeting broke up he whispered to Axel Tanberg:"Is his own name on that paper?" |
2284 | But how did he get there before himself with his speedy Horses? |
2284 | But old Sveggum could neither read nor write: how should he know? |
2284 | Did he hang around in doubt? |
2284 | Did he hesitate? |
2284 | Did he hesitate? |
2284 | Did he turn? |
2284 | Everything had been fair so far, and who can say that what followed was unfair? |
2284 | He was in despair, when his eye lighted on the Chickens about the stable; but what''s the use? |
2284 | Hello!--are ye all dead? |
2284 | Honest and straightforward, what could he do against this far- reaching machination? |
2284 | How could she take a back track that she never saw? |
2284 | How is it done? |
2284 | How much is that? |
2284 | It was the Wolf- hunter who broke silence:"That''s Badlands Billy; ai n''t it a voice? |
2284 | It would find no food; what more natural, he thought, than take the living prey lying there so helpless? |
2284 | King had lived in Goat country, and now in Goat language he exclaimed:"You bet, ai n''t that an old Billy?" |
2284 | Loo? |
2284 | Margat?" |
2284 | May I ask you to stand a little aside? |
2284 | Now which way would he go, up or down the cañon? |
2284 | Now''Royal Dick,''or''Royal Sam,''''ow''s that? |
2284 | Oi say, Sammy, wot''s the noime of that island where ye wuz born?" |
2284 | Peering from his gold- rimmed glasses, first at a lot of papers, next across the roofs of the city, waiting, watching, for what? |
2284 | The Dogs run two or three times a day; why not the Jack?" |
2284 | The arena? |
2284 | Then what? |
2284 | Then,"Who is it? |
2284 | Thor?" |
2284 | What fiend was it tempted a gunner in June to lurk on that hill by the margin? |
2284 | What was faster than that for forty miles? |
2284 | What was it? |
2284 | Where was he? |
2284 | Which seemed likelier to decide the nation''s fate, the earnest thinkers indoors, or the ox- like sleeper without? |
2284 | Which shore? |
2284 | Who can look into the mind of the Wolf? |
2284 | Who can show us his wellspring of motive? |
2284 | Who was to take the canoe? |
2284 | Why not send the Slum Cat to the show now coming on? |
2284 | Why paint the despair of a brave little heart in sight of the home he had craved in vain? |
2284 | Why should a timid creature running for his life thus proclaim to all the world his name instead of trying to hide? |
2284 | Why should he do this? |
2284 | Why should he still cling to a place of endless tribulation? |
2284 | Why tell of the race that followed? |
2284 | Why this unkind change? |
2284 | Wolf? |
2284 | what devil directed his gaze to the twinkling of white that came from the blue to the northward? |
2284 | will Corney never come?" |
40758 | And pray, madam, did it cure you?] |
40758 | And pray, madam,he inquired,"what made you go to Bath?" |
40758 | Can not some one whistle it? |
40758 | Difficult, do you call it, sir? |
40758 | How do you manage it? |
40758 | If you were in a strait,asks Thackeray,"would you like such a benefactor? |
40758 | Is that all you have to say in its favor? |
40758 | Very well, father,was the reply;"but where is the shilling to come from?" |
40758 | Well, sir, what did you think of his acting? |
40758 | What in the devil''s name,he writes,"have you to do with either Mr. Disraeli or Mr. Gladstone? |
40758 | Why do you laugh? |
40758 | Why, what''s the matter? |
40758 | Will you do me the honor of accepting a copy of my works? |
40758 | ''Why so?'' |
40758 | Another peculiarity of Newton was that he fancied himself a poet; but who ever saw a verse of his composition? |
40758 | Being asked,"What is a communist?" |
40758 | Besides, did he not write an original cook- book, which still stands for good authority in the cafés of the boulevards? |
40758 | Bracegirdle''s name had been mentioned; when Lord Halifax said:"You all of you praise the virtue of this lady; why not reward her for not selling it? |
40758 | Canst thou be kind, And from thy darling part? |
40758 | Canst thou range earth, sea, and air, And so meet me everywhere? |
40758 | Could we have a clearer instance of monomania? |
40758 | Did I ever attack your head?" |
40758 | Did not Cervantes"laugh Spain''s chivalry away"? |
40758 | Did not Thoreau also affect humility in his rudely built cabin on the borders of Walden Pond? |
40758 | Does not this truthful sketch from life, of a poor wood- sawyer''s son, read like romance? |
40758 | Garrick?" |
40758 | Hall?" |
40758 | Has Luther been crucified for the world?" |
40758 | Have not these historic characters tested the familiar axiom that calamity is man''s true touchstone? |
40758 | How many of our readers remember the one recorded scene when Queen Elizabeth condescended to coquet with Shakespeare? |
40758 | In a poem called"Clio''s Protest; or, the Picture Varnished,"we find the following really beautiful lines:--"Marked you her cheek of rosy hue? |
40758 | Is it not difficult to recall an instance where a pronounced genius has also enjoyed the quiet beauty of domestic life? |
40758 | Is not this a quiet peep behind the curtain?] |
40758 | Is not"Tristram Shandy"a synonym for its author, Sterne? |
40758 | Is there not a ceaseless interest hanging over the domestic and professional habits of these famous men of the past? |
40758 | Marked you her eye of sparkling blue? |
40758 | Must not earth be rent before her gems are found?" |
40758 | Of how many American books, of a similar character, can this be said?] |
40758 | Thackeray''s tender and beautiful thoughts upon this subject occur to us here:"To be rich, to be famous? |
40758 | They are pretty sure to have some idiosyncrasies more or less peculiar; and who, indeed, has not? |
40758 | Was there ever pleasanter or more genial reading than"Cowper''s Familiar Letters,"full to the brim with sparkling humor? |
40758 | When Coleridge once asked Lamb,"Charles, did you ever hear me preach?" |
40758 | Where was all the monarch''s pride of State, his kingly dignity? |
40758 | Who and what is Luther? |
40758 | Who does not enjoy recalling these silent friends, favorite authors grown dear to us by age and long association? |
40758 | Why am I grown old in seeking so unprofitable a reward as fame? |
40758 | Why does not some popular author give us a book upon this theme, and entitle it"Behind the Prison Bars"? |
40758 | Would it not seem, in the light of these many instances, that practical labor forms the best training even for genius? |
40758 | [ Footnote 147: We find these two verses in Thoreau''s published journal: I. Canst thou love with thy mind, And reason with thy heart? |
40758 | [ Footnote 18: Is it generally known that among the accomplishments of his after years was that of music and an instrumental performer? |
40758 | [ Footnote 8:"What can they see in the longest kingly line in Europe,"asks Sir Walter Scott,"save that it runs back to a successful soldier?"] |
40758 | is there no bribing death?" |
37328 | And what do you mean by it, sir? 37328 Are you mad, knocking about here like a magnetised mummy, and Tuesday the passing day? |
37328 | Ay, where''s the doctor''s? |
37328 | Be going for to join, I dessay, sir? |
37328 | Beware of the Jews? |
37328 | Can you take us over the bar? |
37328 | God bless the dear old chap? |
37328 | Going far, ma''am? |
37328 | How much water you? |
37328 | How much? |
37328 | I''m afraid,said my friend(? |
37328 | Is he? |
37328 | Is it indeed, ma''am? 37328 Is it true, sir?--is it true?" |
37328 | Let the gentleman pass, ca n''t you, Jack? |
37328 | Mind yourself now,cried the commander to Quilp; to which he in wrath replied--"What for you stand there make bobbery? |
37328 | My dear sir, excuse me, but it is just our dinner hour; nice roast turkey, and boiled leg of mutton with--"Any pickled pork? |
37328 | Nonsense? |
37328 | Now,said he, as he tendered the waiter a five- pound Bank of England note,"you must not take it amiss, Doctor, but--""No smaller change, sir?" |
37328 | Stabird side, I dessay, sir? |
37328 | Then,you inquire,"it is n''t six bells?" |
37328 | What,said I,"have you anything the matter with your chest?" |
37328 | What,said I,"is your father not then a Jew? |
37328 | Where away to? |
37328 | Where is the doctor''s? |
37328 | Where''s the doctor''s grog? |
37328 | Why so early to- day? |
37328 | You seem cold, ma''am,said I;"will you permit me to offer you a very little brandy?" |
37328 | And if army officers and men have been graciously permitted to wear the moustache since the Crimean war, why are not we? |
37328 | And they all said"Where is the doctor''s?" |
37328 | And what did I see from my elevated situation? |
37328 | Another glass of beer? |
37328 | Cabins? |
37328 | Dick, Dick,"exclaims an honest- looking tar;"I see''d my poor wife tumble down; she had wee Johnnie in her arms, and-- and what will I do?" |
37328 | Did it? |
37328 | Did n''t the Roman youths dedicate the first few downy hairs of the coming moustache to the gods? |
37328 | Does it not even beget a certain amount of respect for the wearer? |
37328 | Does not the moustache give a manly appearance to the smallest and most effeminate? |
37328 | Does the combatant officer treat the medical officer with respect? |
37328 | Go to the American war, embark for the gold- diggings, enlist in a regiment of Sepoys, or throw myself from the top of Saint Paul''s? |
37328 | I repeated, and added"eh?" |
37328 | I suppose you want to go sticking your dirty wet oars in the air, do you?" |
37328 | I''ve got neither sister, wife, nor mother, so surely it''s_ me_ that ought to be making a noodle of myself; but where''s the use?" |
37328 | If so, why is it not used in building ships? |
37328 | Is mahogany much superior to oak? |
37328 | Mahogany, did I say? |
37328 | No? |
37328 | One may well ask why? |
37328 | The first gentleman(?) |
37328 | What becomes of the hundreds of thousands of slaves that are taken from Africa? |
37328 | What do you mean by it?" |
37328 | What if I were plucked? |
37328 | What should I do? |
37328 | What sort of guys would the razor make of Count Bismark, Dickens, the Sultan of Turkey, or Anthony Trollope? |
37328 | What would the pictures of some of the great masters be without it? |
37328 | Why did you not say so at first? |
37328 | and echo answered"Where?" |
37328 | says growler second,"_ I_ knew that ship; that was a mess, and no mistake?" |
37328 | upon what island, tell us, doctor, does the mahogany tree grow, exist, and flourish? |
37328 | what''s your name?" |
37328 | wonder, now, if it makes a great many calls? |
17567 | A royal pair, eh? |
17567 | A thorn- bush-- what matter the precise name? |
17567 | And alone? |
17567 | And the bees? |
17567 | And then? |
17567 | And who should know it if not he, since it was the voice of his wife? |
17567 | And why had it touched up Prickles as if with a live wire? |
17567 | And why? |
17567 | And, anyway, who can blame her? |
17567 | And, by the way, you know the gnu, of course,_ alias_ wildebeest? |
17567 | Another trap? |
17567 | Anyway, the thrush on the lawn was a lady, and-- well, what would you? |
17567 | At least, she had n''t for an hour and a half; but, then, what''s an hour and a half to a cat? |
17567 | Besides, how about the squirrel overhead? |
17567 | But do you think that made any difference? |
17567 | But how was Blackie to know that, little owls being a comparatively new introduction into those parts? |
17567 | But what is size, anyway? |
17567 | But what the fangs and claws was she doing here? |
17567 | By what? |
17567 | Did she, indeed, ever love anything? |
17567 | Did that ratel quit quick? |
17567 | Did yer ever see th''like?" |
17567 | Do n''t you? |
17567 | Do ratels ever quit an unbeaten foe? |
17567 | Got in among the trees-- yes, but dead- beat, and-- to what end? |
17567 | He knew that it would hurt any one to attack him; the cat knew it; all rabbits in their senses knew it; but was that mother- rabbit in her senses? |
17567 | He would have outdistanced you or me easily in no time, but it was not you or I that came, and who could tell how fast that something might travel? |
17567 | His blood was up, and had not all who ever fought him allowed that he was the pluckiest beast on earth? |
17567 | How could one tell? |
17567 | No honey- guide? |
17567 | Now, what is one to make of such a bird? |
17567 | Now, what is one to say of such a cat? |
17567 | Perhaps he saw, too, the gleam of hunger, the wild, cruel gleam that forgets all else, in her eyes; but who am I to say whether he understood it? |
17567 | Pharaoh, old cat, are-- are you in there?" |
17567 | Probably, quite probably, he had met Gulo the Indomitable before, and-- was not that enough? |
17567 | Safe? |
17567 | She certainly did her duty by it; but what was the use of setting up to be a queen, anyway, if she could not do that? |
17567 | Sixteen feet to the ground he bounded, and twenty- two feet out from the bole of the tree he landed, and-- well, what d''you think of that? |
17567 | Something? |
17567 | That was all, but it was enough; was n''t it, boys? |
17567 | The only difficulty was, who was going out first, and who alive, and who dead? |
17567 | The wolf? |
17567 | Then what? |
17567 | Thousands upon thousands of wood- pigeons were asleep above his head, come from Heaven knows where, going to-- who could tell in the end? |
17567 | VIII THE WHERE IS IT? |
17567 | Was he ever anything else than on the war- path if he moved abroad at all? |
17567 | What else did you expect? |
17567 | What meant this unseemly disturbance of_ Phasianus''s_ domain? |
17567 | What''s in a name, anyway? |
17567 | What''s that? |
17567 | What''s that? |
17567 | What''s that? |
17567 | What? |
17567 | What? |
17567 | What? |
17567 | What_ could_ make any difference after_ that_? |
17567 | Where had the old"varmint"gone? |
17567 | Who can tell how much a cat sees, anyway? |
17567 | Who can tell? |
17567 | Who dares check the will of the king''s son?" |
17567 | Who knows? |
17567 | Why should they? |
17567 | You know the size of pythons? |
17567 | You know the ways of a pig? |
17567 | You think it was a battle of patience? |
17567 | from that of a gentleman of the same breed; or, perhaps-- but how do I know? |
17567 | he said very quietly, quickly, gratingly, and tersely; and then, as if expecting an answer, added,"Eh?" |
11506 | ''And what then? 11506 ''Answer me at once,''returned the captain;''which party do you favor?'' |
11506 | ''For whom are you?'' 11506 ''Gilbert, shall I divine your thoughts?'' |
11506 | ''Well, now,_ does_ thee say so?'' 11506 ''What can that be? |
11506 | ''What the devil''s the matter?'' 11506 ''What, against such a host as we have just seen imaged out in the sky?'' |
11506 | ''What, them Hessians, the bloody thieves?'' 11506 ''Why do we stop here,''roared the captain,''when it is as dark as Egypt?'' |
11506 | A sermon? |
11506 | And why shall you always remember the death of those two men? |
11506 | And why so? |
11506 | But what became of the two sons who were captured by the tories and Indians? |
11506 | But what were the circumstances which gave rise to it? |
11506 | But would it be wise? |
11506 | Ca n''t you tell him something about_ the_ man? 11506 Colonel Zebulon Butler, with his family, escaped from the fort before the massacre, I believe?" |
11506 | Did he ever speak to you afterwards about violating the regulations of the army? |
11506 | Did n''t they start a pursuit? |
11506 | Did you ever hear how a Quaker lady, named Lydia Darragh, saved the army under Washington from being surprised? |
11506 | Did you ever hear what became of him? |
11506 | GRANDFATHER,said Thomas Jefferson Harmar,"wo n''t you tell us something about General Washington?" |
11506 | How can cold snow keep men warm? |
11506 | I say, Mr. Higgins,said old Harmar, wishing to change the subject,"do you recollect Jonathan Riley and Frank Lilly, that were in our company?" |
11506 | I suppose Prescott paid for Lee soon afterwards? |
11506 | I wonder where? |
11506 | I''ll tell you of one old Jack Hanson told me-- you recollect old Jack, do n''t you, Harmar? 11506 If he had any conscience?" |
11506 | Is it that story about Captain Edwards and Miss Williams, that Bill Moore used to tell? |
11506 | Just place yourself in their position; and, knowing that several attempts had been made to blow up the ships, how would you have acted? |
11506 | Let me see,said old Harmar;"where did I first meet you, Higgins? |
11506 | Mr. Harmar, did you say the piece was your own composition? |
11506 | Mr. Mortan, what do you think was the most interesting scene you saw during the war? |
11506 | Mr. Smith, ca n''t we have a leaf from your experience in those trying times? |
11506 | Of what use would that have been? |
11506 | Old John Adams? |
11506 | Tell us one of them, wo n''t you? |
11506 | There; will that do for a story, Thomas Jefferson? |
11506 | Was you on the watch? |
11506 | What manoeuvre was that? |
11506 | What''s that for? |
11506 | Where was the scene of it? |
11506 | Who is the Sir Erskine alluded to in the song? |
11506 | Who learnt you to call him Mad Anthony Wayne? |
11506 | Why did n''t each man stay at home, and take care of his own house? |
11506 | Why did n''t they postpone the hanging of the man until there was a clear day? |
11506 | Why? |
11506 | You was n''t? 11506 ''A part-- where are the rest?'' 11506 ''And have they not taken the sword? 11506 ''And what do you say, Tom?'' 11506 ''But why may not the prisoner, too?'' 11506 ''Do n''t_ you_ know that dog?'' 11506 ''Do you think so?'' 11506 ''If that is not Fagan or some of his gang, never trust me!--why did you not give them a shot, the''tarnal thieves?'' 11506 ''Inform me immediately: Are you a mercenary of the tyrant of England, or a friend to liberty? 11506 ''Thee''s from Trenton?'' 11506 An officer galloped up from the house, and cried out,''What are you about? 11506 And how, in the name of wonder, came you here?'' 11506 Are then my dearest wishes gratified? 11506 Brethren, does not the solemn voice of nature seem to echo the sympathies of the hour? 11506 By the way, did you hear how General Nash was killed? |
11506 | I know so; and why should he be here if his master was not?'' |
11506 | I should like to know how you contrived to get into the wilderness from the place where I last saw you?'' |
11506 | I wonder if history ever spoke of a greater and better man?" |
11506 | Nathaniel thought this unnecessary of so cold a night, and a little suspicious--''Will not thy companions enter also?'' |
11506 | Need I exhort you to fight the good fight, to fight for your homesteads, and for your wives and children? |
11506 | Now, in affright, he starts upright, Awaked by such a clatter: He rubs both eyes, and boldly cries,''For God''s sake, what''s the matter?'' |
11506 | Now, tell me, what is your opinion?'' |
11506 | Oh, are you not frightened?'' |
11506 | STORY OF GENERAL WAYNE"Grandfather,"said Thomas Jefferson Harmar,"wo nt you tell us something about Mad Anthony Wayne?" |
11506 | Should I sit down in cowardly inaction, while others are sacrificing their lives in the struggle? |
11506 | Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind? |
11506 | The friend that''s true, remember''d not, And days of auld lang syne? |
11506 | The sentinel again demanded,''Who comes there?'' |
11506 | What can it mean?'' |
11506 | Why do you look incredulous?'' |
11506 | You saw them?'' |
11506 | or do I actually see armies marching through the clouds?'' |
11506 | was n''t it just before the battle of Brandywine you joined the Pennsylvania line?" |
11506 | what say you, old grumbler? |
35513 | An''air ye sure it''s a good one-- good enough to drag us''way out here on? |
35513 | An''why not? |
35513 | And when air ye goin''to start? |
35513 | But whatever did he want o''my mitts? |
35513 | Did anybody see him this mornin''? |
35513 | Did n''t ye, Tug? |
35513 | Did the book agent try to make up to Sis Hopkins? |
35513 | Do n''t you see he''s took to the water? 35513 Do you think I''m goin''to hand over the child to a perfect stranger, just because he comes and says he''s the child''s uncle? |
35513 | Does this belong to you, Andy Stevens? |
35513 | Ef_ you_ do n''t know, Tug,said MacDonald,"who_ kin_ know?" |
35513 | Hain''t ye caught on to Jim''s signs yet? |
35513 | Have a weed? |
35513 | Hev ye got any kind of a_ reel_ clue, d''ye think, now? |
35513 | Hev ye got any reel idee to come an''go on, Tug? |
35513 | How dare you interfere between my nephew and me? 35513 How do ye know it''s yourn, Andy?" |
35513 | If ye''re so skeered o''me as ye look,demanded Peddler, in a crisp voice,"why do n''t ye turn an''vamoose,''stead o''backin''an''fillin''that way? |
35513 | Jim likes the bear, sir,_ does n''t_ he? |
35513 | Most an albino, ai n''t he? |
35513 | Mr. Blackstock, I presume? 35513 Oh, do you think so?" |
35513 | Well,she demanded,"is n''t Harner''s Bend a good place to come away from? |
35513 | What are ye goin''to do about it, Tug? |
35513 | What are you doin''here? |
35513 | What d''ye make o''that? |
35513 | What d''ye suppose he''s found there? |
35513 | What do I care about the old shop? 35513 What do you make of it?" |
35513 | What do you mean by that foolin''? |
35513 | What does that prove? |
35513 | What if there should be a fire at the mill? 35513 What is it, Hawker?" |
35513 | What''ll ye bet that ye''re not mistaken, the both o''yez? |
35513 | What''re you all starin''at me fer, boys? |
35513 | What''s bears to you? 35513 What''s makin''you so sore, Sam?" |
35513 | What''s that bit o''paper ye found under him, Tug? |
35513 | What''s that? |
35513 | Whatever ye been doin''to Jim, Sam? |
35513 | Where am I, Jim? |
35513 | Where is he? |
35513 | Where''s Tug Blackstock? |
35513 | Where''s he gone to? |
35513 | Who''s been lettin''loose the menagerie? 35513 Why do n''t ye search him, Tug?" |
35513 | Why should_ you_ not want to think, Mary? |
35513 | Will you be so good as to direct me to him? |
35513 | Ye bloomin''fool,shouted Hawker, again growing excited,"ye do n''t s''pose he''d be carryin''it on him, do ye? |
35513 | Ye was sayin''as how ye''d jest come up from Cribb''s Ridge? |
35513 | You''d never go back on me, would you, Jim, no matter what I''d done? |
35513 | _ Kr- rr- rr- eee?_he murmured softly, as if in sarcastic interrogation. |
35513 | _ Where_ did you say that hole in the tree was? |
35513 | Ai n''t that a title for ye? |
35513 | An''where in tarnation is that b''ar?" |
35513 | And if so, who? |
35513 | And me a dress- maker? |
35513 | But what I want to know is, what authority have you to demand the child?" |
35513 | But what river- man would come to grief in the Run at this stage of the water? |
35513 | But where was Black Dan, that''s what I want to know?" |
35513 | But why should you thank me? |
35513 | Did it ever strike you that way, Tug?" |
35513 | Do I look like the kind of girl that_ would n''t_ come away from Harner''s Bend? |
35513 | Do n''t it show ye right off the kind of book it is? |
35513 | Do you think I could settle down to spend my life in the backwoods? |
35513 | Do you think I have no dreams beyond the spruce woods of Nipsiwaska County? |
35513 | Do you think I''d ought to have stopped there? |
35513 | Do you think you could imprison_ me_ in Brine''s Rip? |
35513 | Guess we''ll call it square, eh?" |
35513 | Had any one been disagreeable to Woolly Billy? |
35513 | He could see it was a small child''s jacket, but what was he expected to do with it? |
35513 | I guess yer interestin''hipotheesis do n''t quite fill the bill-- eh, Andy?" |
35513 | I s''pose you''re thinkin''about your shop while ye''re away?" |
35513 | Now, what''s the price?" |
35513 | Or hev I got the nightmare, mebbe?" |
35513 | Ought n''t there to be more than one night watchman in such dry weather as this? |
35513 | That there skunk- oil on Dan''s moccasins fooled_ both_ Jim an''me, good an''plenty, did n''t it?" |
35513 | The crowd''s excitement was somewhat damped by this pronouncement, and Hawker''s exasperating voice was heard to drawl:"No_ evidence_, hey? |
35513 | Was it, too, he wondered, coming to attack the terrified sausage, or to defend it? |
35513 | What d''ye mean by foolin''about after woodchucks a time like this? |
35513 | What proofs have you?" |
35513 | Whatever I''ve done, it''s been for Woolly Billy''s own sake-- ain''t it, Billy?" |
35513 | Where''s your wings, Dan? |
35513 | Will ye come out quietly an''give yerself up, or do ye want trouble?" |
35513 | Would n''t the whole village go, like a box of matches? |
35513 | and"Did ye ever hear the likes o''that?" |
42270 | Did n''t she take any notice at all? |
42270 | Did she read it? |
42270 | Did she say anything? |
42270 | Do you see that lady in the white dress? |
42270 | Oh, what did people do before there were tennis and croquet and golf? |
42270 | Shall I ever see it again? |
42270 | What''s the matter? |
42270 | Why could n''t she have settled in some decent place? |
42270 | You do n''t know me, ma''am? |
42270 | You do n''t remember me? 42270 You do n''t say so?" |
42270 | You remember me? |
42270 | You wo n''t go into the Chamber of Horrors, I suppose? |
42270 | _ Now,_said he intensely,"do you wonder at my wanting to come back to my old school?" |
42270 | ''What''s this on the ground?'' |
42270 | And did he ever? |
42270 | And was it too late? |
42270 | And why do n''t you write what you understand?" |
42270 | And why have I never seen such cows as those splendid, big, red Devon cows elsewhere? |
42270 | Are they the real Queen Anne? |
42270 | As for the delicious lurid function, snapdragon, is it obsolete in England yet? |
42270 | But again-- what is there to marvel at? |
42270 | But apart altogether from consideration of such conditions as were of the times and not of her individual choice, did she not know her business well? |
42270 | But suppose the rector of Malling( I know nothing of him) should be an Evangelical? |
42270 | But what could evade the lynx- eyed vigilance of the duenna of old? |
42270 | But why should I say alas? |
42270 | Could anything be more appropriate to the character of the town? |
42270 | Could anything in city planning be happier in effect than the position of the cathedral in its quiet oasis amid the streets? |
42270 | Could even Devonshire have composed a lovelier picture to live with? |
42270 | Dare I hope that I am loved in return?" |
42270 | Did I know this and that and the other about the family? |
42270 | Did I know where the portrait was? |
42270 | Did he say? |
42270 | Do n''t you remember?" |
42270 | Do you mean to say those we had at lunch yesterday were that price?" |
42270 | Does that seem an incongruous association of ideas? |
42270 | For little girls do cotton to little boys, and vice versa, and why not? |
42270 | For where would be the interest and inspiration of life without something to want that you can not get, but that it is open to you to try for? |
42270 | From the old garden, out of the stupendous trees( are there trees in England to rival Norfolk trees? |
42270 | Had I outlived my long, long hope? |
42270 | How was that?" |
42270 | How_ could_ she? |
42270 | In the priest''s chapel, then? |
42270 | Is it not possible that the despisers would give almost anything to be able to say the same? |
42270 | It was too late now, I concluded, and so what was the use of fussing any more? |
42270 | Might it possibly have been the same"something"that he divined? |
42270 | No sooner were we disentangled than my aunt, almost as flustered as I was, sternly demanded of me:"Did you see that?" |
42270 | Now, was not that a sensible idea? |
42270 | One thing I wish I had asked the sweet- maker: Are they allowed to worship in the nuns''chapel? |
42270 | Or the boy I ca n''t bear? |
42270 | Or:"Oh, why did she flatter my boyish pride? |
42270 | Sinking upon a bench in the grateful air I said to my niece:"My dear, do you happen to see amongst all these people anyone you know?" |
42270 | The boy I like( though I may never have exchanged a word with him)? |
42270 | The question:"Was I fit to be left?" |
42270 | Then would we all come back and dine with him to- morrow? |
42270 | Things that have been improved upon ought to go, but why abandon those that still remain desirable? |
42270 | To their excited"Where? |
42270 | Was it, reader? |
42270 | What girl- child makes dolls''clothes-- proper dolls''clothes-- now? |
42270 | What is there to take the place of clogs and pattens in usefulness to the class which once wore them? |
42270 | What must Cockington be in spring? |
42270 | What old man looks back on this experience otherwise than with the feeling that he has seen the Golden Age? |
42270 | What shall I leave my godson?" |
42270 | What, I wondered, did my schoolgirl idol and apostle of beauty, Ruskin, think of this ditch when it was a- making? |
42270 | When I think again, I have to ask myself,"Why should I?" |
42270 | Where is that pleasant- voiced, happy- faced daughter of the old inn now? |
42270 | Where, I wondered, as I looked at the blank windows, where were they now? |
42270 | Where, then, was the harm? |
42270 | Where?" |
42270 | Who asks me to be his? |
42270 | Who can wonder? |
42270 | Who lauds my beauty in such ardent verse? |
42270 | Who sent that? |
42270 | Who sent this? |
42270 | Why was that? |
42270 | You are Mrs C., are you not?" |
42270 | You remember those dances of the fifties, dear reader who went to them? |
42270 | he asked me before us both, and what could I say?" |
42270 | obtruded itself into the settled policy: it logically resolved itself into the further question:"Was I fit to go?" |
42270 | when will parsons learn common- sense? |
47811 | ''Ai n''t you glad to know that I''m to get married?'' 47811 ''But why should you act upon a different rule from other men?'' |
47811 | ''Do I look nice now, mother?'' 47811 ''Do you consider your life worth more than other people''s?'' |
47811 | ''Do you think any of your company would have missed you if you had been killed?'' 47811 ''Honor bright?'' |
47811 | ''How is it, Jake?'' 47811 ''How?'' |
47811 | ''I good- naturedly said to him,''the President replied,''Senator, that is just about from here to the Capitol, is it not?" |
47811 | ''John,''said he,''did n''t you promise to let me do all the swearing of the regiment?'' 47811 ''Never say nothing, if I tell you?'' |
47811 | ''Of course I am,''was the reply;''but,''putting his mouth close to the ear of the other,''have ye asked Morrissey yet?'' 47811 ''Run at the first fire, did you?'' |
47811 | ''Stood your ground, did you?'' 47811 ''Then patriotism and honor are nothing to you?'' |
47811 | ''Then you must value it very highly?'' 47811 ''Well, but have you no regard for your reputation?'' |
47811 | ''Well,''asked the Governor, impatiently,''I suppose you''re innocent like the rest of these fellows?'' 47811 ''Were you honorably discharged?'' |
47811 | ''Were you in the fight?'' 47811 ''What did you say then?'' |
47811 | ''What luck have you?'' 47811 ''Yes, I know you do; but how do you do it?'' |
47811 | ''Yes, sa, I does, more dan all dis wuld, more dan a million ob dollars, sa, for what would dat be wuth to a man wid de bref out ob him? 47811 ''You have n''t two carloads in that basket, have you?'' |
47811 | Blair,said the President,"did you ever know that fright has sometimes proven a cure for boils?" |
47811 | But, Mr. President, could n''t you write a few words to the officers that would insure her protection? |
47811 | Could she do other things than wash? |
47811 | Did Stanton say I was a d-- d fool? |
47811 | Do you mean to say that the President is a d-- d fool? |
47811 | He''s a fair to middling neighbor, is n''t he? |
47811 | He''s been a neighbor of yours for a long time, has n''t he? |
47811 | Hey? 47811 How many men have the Confederates now in the field?" |
47811 | How''s that, Uncle Tommy? |
47811 | I guess he''s killed off enough men, has n''t he? |
47811 | In what respect? |
47811 | Is anybody meddling with her? |
47811 | No, Mr. President, how is that? |
47811 | Part of the time you get along all right, do n''t you? |
47811 | Then with a twinkle in his eye, he continued:''I suppose the Indians out there call it Minneboohoo, do n''t they? |
47811 | Uncle Tommy, you have n''t had any fights with Jim, have you? |
47811 | Was your Betsy Ann an obliging woman? |
47811 | We won the case, did n''t we? |
47811 | Well, now, Uncle Tommy, you see this horse of mine? 47811 What seems to be the matter?" |
47811 | What worst, may I ask? |
47811 | Where is Betsy Ann? |
47811 | Where is your room? |
47811 | Why not? |
47811 | Why, Mr. President, are you sick? |
47811 | ''Hold on,''said the other,''do n''t you want to see the hog?'' |
47811 | ''Why, Mr. Lincoln, what''s the matter with the boys?'' |
47811 | :"''Did you serve three years in the army?'' |
47811 | ="DID YE ASK MORRISSEY YET? |
47811 | ="HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF THIS PLACE? |
47811 | After an astounding display of wordy pyrotechnics, the dazed and bewildered stranger asked:"What will be the upshot of this comet business?" |
47811 | After making it, one of the lawyers, on recovering from his astonishment, ventured to inquire:''Well, Lincoln, how can we get this case up again?'' |
47811 | After they had gone, a friend who was present, said:"Mr. Lincoln, you did not seem to know the young men?" |
47811 | At last Mr. Lincoln asked, with inimitable gravity,"Was Betsy Ann a good washerwoman?" |
47811 | At length the President inquired,"You are a clergyman, are you not, sir?" |
47811 | Finally, Mr. Lincoln, leaning forward, touched the man on the shoulder and said:"Excuse me, my friend, are you an Episcopalian?" |
47811 | Has a man what''s been elected justice of the peace a right to issue a marriage license?'' |
47811 | He looked it over, then said:''Were you ever wounded?'' |
47811 | His response to a question propounded by a citizen ran somewhat in this wise:"''Do they conscript close over the river?'' |
47811 | His wife watched him with an amused smile, but the only remark he made was,"Well, Mary, that''s about the slickest''glass hack''in town, is n''t it?" |
47811 | How am I going to sleep there, I''d like to know? |
47811 | How do you get out of this place?''" |
47811 | Lincoln expressed his thanks to Anderson for his conduct at Fort Sumter, and then said:"Major, do you remember of ever meeting me before?" |
47811 | Lincoln?" |
47811 | Mr. Lincoln got there, however, and when he returned with the horse he said:"You keep this horse for funerals, do n''t you?" |
47811 | Now,"continued Mr. Lincoln,"if''Jake''Thompson is permitted to go through Maine unbeknown to any one, what''s the harm? |
47811 | Said he,"Papa, may I introduce some friends to you?" |
47811 | Stanton?'' |
47811 | The soldier seemed in such good spirits that the gentleman inquired:"You must be very slightly wounded?" |
47811 | This had not escaped Lincoln, and as he shook hands with the judge he inquired,"What is your height?" |
47811 | To whom, did the feet belong, and particularly, the mammoth ones? |
47811 | Upon presenting themselves to the Secretary, and showing the President''s order, the Secretary said:"Did Lincoln give you an order of that kind?" |
47811 | We have four hundred thousand men in the field, and three times four make twelve,--don''t you see it? |
47811 | What nets?" |
47811 | What''s the use in sending volunteers down to him if they''re only used to fill graves?" |
47811 | When she returned to her seat, one of her companions asked mischievously:"Well, Mary, did he dance with you the worst way?" |
47811 | Why did n''t he ask to be the Secretary of the Treasury, and have done with it?" |
47811 | Why do n''t you bring us up some hardtack?" |
47811 | are you not going to the court- house? |
47811 | do you think, after all, the whole world is going to follow the darned thing off?" |
47811 | replied the trustees;"you preach for money? |
48343 | And now,said the divine,"will your Majesty permit me to ask a question?" |
48343 | Are all the guineas found? |
48343 | Better? |
48343 | Do you indeed think so, my dear Lord? 48343 Have you taken it all?" |
48343 | How, then, can you judge of what you have never heard? |
48343 | Mr.----, what is the proper female companion of this John Dory? |
48343 | My Lord Duke,said the tenant,"would it not be better to apply yourself directly to God? |
48343 | Oh, he has, has he? |
48343 | Pray, Sir, do you_ believe_ in a_ cook_? |
48343 | Sir,replied Wesley,"did you ever hear me preach?" |
48343 | Sir,retorted Wesley,"is not your name Nash? |
48343 | WHAT IS AN ARCHDEACON? |
48343 | Well? |
48343 | What is the difference,asked Archbishop Whately of a young clergyman he was examining,"between a form and a ceremony? |
48343 | What is the matter, Donald? |
48343 | Where? 48343 Who wants Dr. Hannes, fellow?" |
48343 | Why, my dear? |
48343 | Why, then, does your Majesty read your speeches, when it may be presumed that_ you_ can have no such reason? |
48343 | Will your deputy suffer eternal punishment for you too? |
48343 | Would not a_ bit_ or two do you more good? |
48343 | _ Quid est caritas?_( What is charity?) |
48343 | _ Quid est caritas?_( What is charity?) |
48343 | --"Suppose I do; what of that? |
48343 | --A friend of Smith inquired,"What is Puseyism?" |
48343 | After the patient was gone, Martin noticed two guineas lying on the table, and asked the doctor how it came that he left his money about in that way? |
48343 | And what if I should say nothing else these three or four hours but these words? |
48343 | But mark the consequence,_ quâ honorarium_: does the patient increase the fee for the pain and misery he is spared? |
48343 | But should I have named him? |
48343 | But what means this sudden lowering of the heavens, and that dark cloud arising from beneath the western horizon? |
48343 | Do n''t you hear distant thunder? |
48343 | Do n''t you see those flashes of lightning? |
48343 | I would here ask one question: I would fain know who comptrolleth the devil at home at his parish, while he comptrolleth the Mint? |
48343 | If the apostles might not leave the office of preaching to be deacons, shall one leave it for minting? |
48343 | In another part of this discourse the Bishop proceeds to ask,"Is there never a nobleman to be a Lord President, but it must be a prelate? |
48343 | Is there a Professor in this University who would so far degrade himself, as to take payment from one of his brotherhood, and a junior?" |
48343 | Is there never a wise man in the realm to be a comptroller of the Mint? |
48343 | Is this a meet office for a priest that hath the cure of souls? |
48343 | Is this his charge? |
48343 | Is this their calling? |
48343 | Is this their office? |
48343 | On his next visit the doctor asked,"What effect has the ptisan produced?" |
48343 | One day his Majesty met the Doctor in the Mall, and said to him,"Doctor, what have I done to you that you are always quarrelling with me?" |
48343 | Preaching on Pilate''s question,"What is truth?" |
48343 | Should we have ministers of the Church to be comptrollers of Mints? |
48343 | Smith.--"Do you believe in the apostolical succession?" |
48343 | The Duke, naturally astonished at his conduct, said,"I suppose you know who I am?" |
48343 | The chaplain, a little annoyed at Barrow''s laconic answer, continued--"_ Quid est spes?_"( What is hope?) |
48343 | The chaplain, a little annoyed at Barrow''s laconic answer, continued--"_ Quid est spes?_"( What is hope?) |
48343 | The consultation took place, and the student offered the fee; whereupon the good Gregory broke out:"Sir, do you mean to insult me? |
48343 | To Dr. Blomfield accordingly the messenger went, and repeated the question,"What is an archdeacon?" |
48343 | Well, well, is this their duty? |
48343 | Wesley once preaching at Bath, Beau Nash entered the room, came close up to the preacher, and demanded by what authority he was acting? |
48343 | What am I to do with this?" |
48343 | What next?" |
48343 | When Dr. Beadon was rector of Eltham, in Kent, his text one day was,"Who art thou?" |
48343 | When, after some difficulty, his Majesty was made to comprehend the system, he exclaimed,"Is any man well in England, that can afford to be ill? |
48343 | Why burst the ties Of nature, that should knit their souls together In one soft bond of amity and love? |
48343 | Why delight In human sacrifice? |
48343 | Why does the writer of a book, so honest and thoughtful as this about dominies, come before the public anonymously? |
48343 | and are frogs, fungos, and toadstools the chiefest dish in a spiritual collation? |
48343 | inquired of Boileau,"if he knew anything of a preacher called Le Tourneau, whom everybody was running after?" |
48343 | my friend,"pleaded the Abbé,"how could you desire me to swallow a quart an hour? |
48343 | where?" |
48343 | why will kings forget that they are men, And men that they are brethren? |
46400 | ''Where?'' 46400 But why did n''t you say''Give me liberty or give me death,''Uncle John?" |
46400 | Did you say one of these Hobson sisters was my ancestor, and did she do anything heroic? |
46400 | Do you not see that these are no questions for you? 46400 For such a thing as this?" |
46400 | I stand before you to know; have you chosen the part of men or traitors? |
46400 | Is Charlie Mackey at home? |
46400 | Is she Agnes Hobson? |
46400 | Make way there, ye spalpeens,he shouted,"sure do n''t ye see the great Ginral Burgyne a comin''along? |
46400 | The General wishes it was in his power to conduct the troops into the best winter quarters; but where are those to be found? 46400 Thinkest thou existence doth depend on time? |
46400 | Tut, tut, my good woman,said he, boiling with rage,"do you know what you are doing? |
46400 | Well, what did Agnes Hobson do? |
46400 | What greater cause could there be? |
46400 | Why are the dead not dead? 46400 Why, Mary,"he exclaimed,"what are you doing there, hugging Frank Cogdell, the greatest reprobate in the army?" |
46400 | Why, Steptoe, is that all? |
46400 | Young maidsaid the gallant Chief Hiawatha,"Is this where the Indians Land?" |
46400 | ''Do you know where he is?'' |
46400 | ''What have you for dinner, Boys?'' |
46400 | ''What is your supper, lads?'' |
46400 | A discussion arose:"What about the girls? |
46400 | Alarmed by the expression of their grief- stricken faces he exclaimed:"Where is Yaho Hadjo? |
46400 | And can you not almost hear Thankful telling her father about the wonderful journey around Cape Horn? |
46400 | Beckon lost music from a broken lute? |
46400 | Brocade, woven with silver thread? |
46400 | Brothers, are you tame? |
46400 | But from which side did they come? |
46400 | But how to land the prize? |
46400 | But pray, how came you here?" |
46400 | But were they not subjects of the British king? |
46400 | But what woman would? |
46400 | By whom could it be authorized? |
46400 | Did he not deserve the name of seer? |
46400 | Did those shouts mean the defeat of her husband; or did they mean his triumph? |
46400 | Had not the troops come out in obedience to acknowledged authorities? |
46400 | Has God led us so far to desert now? |
46400 | Have you been squattin''in the thicket yonder?" |
46400 | He said:"You have something for sale, I presume?" |
46400 | He wuz er standing on dis very spot, and he lif''up his voice like a lion and he sez, sez he--""What did he say?" |
46400 | How could there be anything of humor connected with the struggle? |
46400 | How many times during the war did he clothe his soldiers and supply their wants when the country could n''t? |
46400 | Is it any wonder that in such environment the boy''s dreamy aspirations crystallized into the high resolve of becoming a patriot and statesman? |
46400 | Is not that a pleasing portrait? |
46400 | Mrs. Arnett, in dignified silence, listened until they had finished, and then she asked:"But what if we should live after all?" |
46400 | Of course, was not his motto"cur non?" |
46400 | Of what? |
46400 | Or dig the sunken sun- set from the deep?" |
46400 | Ought it to be so? |
46400 | Renew the redness of a last year''s rose? |
46400 | This is very different from the wills of today, is n''t it? |
46400 | This was the very first voyage ever made around the Cape, and can you not imagine how proud young William Cleghorn was? |
46400 | Toward the loom in the kitchen she drew, She had finished that day, A beautiful blanket of brown and blue,"Was it plaided this way?" |
46400 | Was it justifiable? |
46400 | Was not this unselfish love of liberty of the plainest type? |
46400 | Was resistance practicable? |
46400 | What I have said applies to men, but what about the young women of the same period? |
46400 | What could this crazy skipper mean by attacking a fleet with one dinky little schooner? |
46400 | What was it if not generosity, when at his own expense, he fitted out the ship that brought him and the other officers to this country? |
46400 | What was it? |
46400 | What was this she saw? |
46400 | What? |
46400 | When this story was read to the ladies present, one of the men asked:"Where lives there such a woman now?" |
46400 | Where are her high- heeled silken shoon That stepped in time to the wedding tune? |
46400 | Where are her ruffles of fine point lace? |
46400 | Where are the pearls that graced her head? |

16926 | And yet,philosophized the lady,"if we are dissatisfied in our prosperity, what must a life be that contains nothing?" |
16926 | Could anything be more beautiful? 16926 Heat? |
16926 | Matches, sir? |
16926 | Matches, sir? |
16926 | My wife a hypocrite? 16926 Now, just where is Ashcroft?" |
16926 | What do you mean? |
16926 | What is it? |
16926 | Where did you get that cat? |
16926 | Why does he not fall into the Thompson and get drowned for accommodation? |
16926 | Why does she not die? |
16926 | Why should a man be anchored to one spot of the geographical distribution like a barnacle to a ship during the whole of his mortal belligerency? |
16926 | And what could be a greater security than a whole mountain full of gold? |
16926 | And what is there here? |
16926 | Are our efforts worth while when we have no immediate prospects of improvement? |
16926 | But how was this revolution in the private disposition of a man to be accomplished? |
16926 | But what vision would he"get busy"on? |
16926 | But where was Cultus Johnny and his sister all this time? |
16926 | By the way, where is your office?" |
16926 | Can you imagine such a condition? |
16926 | Could a sadder instance of degeneration be written in the annals of the human family? |
16926 | Could he cast the blame upon his ancestors? |
16926 | Could it be possible he had two homes? |
16926 | Did he belong to the human family? |
16926 | Do you give orders to Syracusan women? |
16926 | For how many years have the husbands been coming home from work daily to partake of a meal which an attentive and tender wife has prepared for him? |
16926 | G. Has one a tolerable chance of getting there? |
16926 | Had he a cantankerous disposition? |
16926 | Had he boils, like Job? |
16926 | Had he offended the fair sex in any way? |
16926 | Had some false reputation preceded him into the community? |
16926 | Having gained an entrance, he was accosted by his wife, who exclaimed:"Harry, you drunk?" |
16926 | How on earth are we ever to get through all this? |
16926 | I unhappy among all this kingly paraphernalia, and with a queen wife?" |
16926 | I went home puzzled to my wife and said:"Do you know, Teddy is not all ours?" |

16926 | Is she ill, or is she playing a wild, deceitful part? |
16926 | Is she sitting on me with all her weight?" |
16926 | Is the Eskimo destined to everlasting failure-- perpetual degeneration? |
16926 | It was plain that she loved him, for what else in a woman could overlook such darkness in a man? |
16926 | Kill you?" |
16926 | Mother, are you from the palace? |
16926 | Must you and I be satisfied and consent to endure this animal existence to the end of our days because it is our only heritage from our ancestors? |
16926 | My dearest Gorgo, what will become of us? |
16926 | Not one of them could speak French, although a few of them could repeat, parrot- like, the words"Parlez- vous Francais?" |
16926 | Now, after all, was this man not right, and is the Eskimo not to be pitied? |
16926 | Now, just why was he unpopular? |
16926 | Now, what in the world possessed this despotic imbecile to form a senate? |
16926 | Others enjoyed the good things of this life, and why not he? |
16926 | P. Heavenly patroness of needle- women, what hands we hired to do that work? |
16926 | Perhaps they were seeking martyrdom? |

16926 | Was he a German, or an Austrian, or a Turk? |
16926 | Was he a criminal? |
16926 | Was he a plague? |
16926 | Was he a woman hater? |
16926 | Was he an undesirable citizen? |
16926 | Was he inflicted with some loathsome disease? |
16926 | Was he mean, stingy? |
16926 | Was he poor? |
16926 | Was he repulsive in appearance? |
16926 | Was he repulsive? |
16926 | Was he stupid, ignorant, uneducated, brainless? |
16926 | Was he ugly? |
16926 | Was it heredity? |
16926 | What had he done that this measure should be constantly graduated out to him? |
16926 | What is it to you if we are chatterboxes? |
16926 | What is that we see falling like grain before the reaper? |
16926 | What machinery required adjusting? |

16926 | Who designed those beautiful patterns? |
16926 | Why do you not control your storm and calm down like the lake? |
16926 | Why not see everything, know everything? |
16926 | Why should he be denied this one sweet dream? |
16926 | Why this caution? |
16926 | Why was he an outcast? |
16926 | Why was he the Job of Ashcroft society? |
16926 | Why was he the most unpopular man on these sand downs? |
16926 | Will you join us? |
16926 | With what disease then was he afflicted? |
16926 | why do n''t you take care of my dress? |
45386 | ''Et tu Brute?'' |
45386 | ''Who made that noise?'' 45386 ''Why?'' |
45386 | And am I always to remain so? |
45386 | And so I presume you would douse a Cartright man if you had a chance? |
45386 | And why not? |
45386 | But surely, ca n''t you see by the table alone, Judge? |
45386 | But what were you over there for? 45386 But where have you been all the time?" |
45386 | But you know the reputation of the place-- the kitchen? |
45386 | But, tell the Court more precisely? |
45386 | But,said the persevering sufferer,"could n''t you just give me a line to Colonel------- about it? |
45386 | But_ how_ much of a fight? |
45386 | Do n''t know about the snags? |
45386 | Do you want more money? |
45386 | Gentlemen of the Jury, where are the spirits of the fathers of the Constitution? 45386 He''s getting hold of considerable land, hain''t he?" |
45386 | How do you know I do n''t? |
45386 | How much of a fight was it? |
45386 | How was that? |
45386 | How was that? |
45386 | How''s he getting along? |
45386 | I merely wanted to understand,said Uncle Abe,"at which end of the bird you propose to pay?" |
45386 | Is that really the law? |
45386 | Is that so? |
45386 | It was a real fight, was it? |
45386 | Know a lawyer up there named H------g R------s? |
45386 | Maj. Abe, is that you? 45386 Mean? |
45386 | Much acquainted? |
45386 | Oh, you do n''t understand; I axed you s''posin''you did? |
45386 | So honest lawyers were so scarce in Illinois that you were thus distinguished from them? |
45386 | So you are a Lincoln man? |
45386 | Take? 45386 Then, supposing I do, what of it?" |
45386 | Well, how do you sell to- day? |
45386 | Well, was there a fight between these parties? |
45386 | What do you mean about his being so lucky? |
45386 | What for? |
45386 | What has that to do with such a bill? |
45386 | What kind, sah? |
45386 | What number, sah? |
45386 | Who owns the other half? |
45386 | Why do n''t you mend that piece of fence thoroughly, Mr. H------, and keep the pigs out? |
45386 | Why do n''t you quote Shakspeare correctly? |
45386 | Why, is that you, Wilkie? |
45386 | Why? |
45386 | Yes, but where did the bullet strike you? |
45386 | You mean it''s a big''un? |
45386 | ''Indeed, what is your plan?'' |
45386 | ''Now, Pompey, spose dere am tree pigeons sittin''on a rail fence, and you fire a gun at''em and shoot one, how many''s left?'' |
45386 | ''What do you call that?'' |
45386 | ''Why so?'' |
45386 | ( Wonder if Uncle Abe has forgotten how to sail in clear water? |
45386 | Abe stretched his lank neck to its greatest altitudinous tension and said,"What-- so, Sir?" |
45386 | After he''d got a terrible pounding by the school master, someone asked him how he felt? |
45386 | Among other questions, Uncle Abe asked:"Do the Methodist clergy in your State take to secession?" |
45386 | Are they not abroad in all lands, whispering to earth''s downtrodden millions like a voice of hope? |
45386 | Are they not heard in the sigh of the mountain pine? |
45386 | Are they not hovering over us in the air of the still summer day? |
45386 | Are they not wailing upon the winds that sweep over our prairies? |
45386 | As soon as the Judge recovered his equanimity he asked:"Upon what grounds is so extraordinary a motion made?" |
45386 | But how to quit? |
45386 | Can you tell me the use of a man''s nipples?" |
45386 | Cartright?" |
45386 | Charley W------, on going through the fair grounds, looked into the"Richmond House,"and said--"Well, boys, how do you get along?" |
45386 | Demanded old Whitey? |
45386 | Did he wish to woo them? |
45386 | Did n''t run away, did you?" |
45386 | Had he gone-- what? |
45386 | Halleck?" |
45386 | Has it"Gin Out?" |
45386 | However, Abe enquired very minutely, where Snooks lived? |
45386 | I''d like to know what we wants of a parson to make laws for us? |
45386 | Instantly the attention of a countryman was fixed, upon him, who, at the first opportunity accosted him--"From Peoria, Squar?" |
45386 | Lincoln?" |
45386 | Mrs. Lincoln was nearly non- plussed, but exclaimed in a consoling voice,"Is your Honor hurt?" |
45386 | Some one recently asked Uncle Abe why he did n''t promote merit? |
45386 | Then what on airth do you live on?" |
45386 | They surprised and captured the man, and brought him down to the bar- room; but what to do with him? |
45386 | Uncle Abe being asked once why he walked so crookedly? |
45386 | Uncle Abe? |
45386 | What is your opinion about them?" |
45386 | What the-------- are you about?" |
45386 | Where''ve you been?" |
45386 | Whilst Uncle Abe was passing, in his flat- boat, a small town on the Wabash, an old chum accosted him from shore thus:--"Uncle Abe, are you asleep?" |
45386 | Why, gentlemen, would you believe me? |
45386 | and where was this creature then? |
45386 | exclaimed Joe,"that lean, lank gawky? |
45386 | exclaimed Uncle Abe,"and it was you who made me President, was it?" |
45386 | has the printing machine gin out?" |
45386 | just one line?" |
45386 | rejoined Uncle Abe,"can you inform me gentlemen, where General Grant procures his whisky?" |
45386 | said the landlord, brightening up,"in what respect is that?" |
45386 | shouted a voice of thunder, and the body and sleeves? |
45386 | you do n''t want a pilot nor nothin''about this''ere craft, do ye?" |
889 | Were you brought up in Europe and educated? |
889 | : What had Miss Carl been saying? |
889 | A little boy like you come to fight me? |
889 | After Miss Carl had left the Court, Her Majesty asked me one day:"Did she ever ask you much about the Boxer movement of 1900?" |
889 | After she had passed the camera she turned and asked my brother:"Did you take a picture?" |
889 | After that we return to the Sea Palace, and what can we do with this artist? |
889 | And even if this can be satisfactorily arranged, what about the Winter Palace in the Forbidden City? |
889 | And how do you know that these are my favorites and have placed them near me? |
889 | Another thing-- did you notice that Mrs. Conger handed a parcel to Miss Carl out in the courtyard when she came in?" |
889 | Are these good presents? |
889 | Are you all tired?" |
889 | Are you hungry? |
889 | Are you not dizzy turning round and round? |
889 | Are you standing on your head or feet?" |
889 | Before we had time to explain to her, she said:"I see, dresses with tails behind must be more dignified than short ones, am I right?" |
889 | Ca n''t they see that the veranda is wet?" |
889 | Can you guess what it is?" |
889 | Coming again?" |
889 | Continuing, she said:"By the way, how long will it take before this portrait is finished?" |
889 | Could you get Chinese food when you were abroad, and were you homesick? |
889 | Did any of the foreign ladies ever tell you that I am a fierce- looking old woman?" |
889 | Did n''t I tell you she was watching you when you pulled my sleeve? |
889 | Did you enjoy yourself while you were there, and do you wish to go back again? |
889 | Did you really study to acquire all those languages or was it drinking the water that gave them to you?" |
889 | Did you sleep at all?" |
889 | Do n''t you think that our own customs are much nicer?" |
889 | Do they consider me a man of character and do they think me clever? |
889 | Do you have to jump up and down with men? |
889 | Do you know how the Boxer rising began? |
889 | Do you remember what Her Majesty said to you? |
889 | Do you think they are beautiful?" |
889 | Do you think they, the foreigners, really like me? |
889 | Do you think you know enough Chinese to read this map?" |
889 | Does she speak Chinese?" |
889 | Evans?" |
889 | Has she found out yet that you are there simply to keep an eye upon her?" |
889 | He looked surprised and asked:"Can you take pictures, too? |
889 | Her Majesty exclaimed:"Why is it your head is upside down? |
889 | Her Majesty said to me:"Why ca n''t you win once?" |
889 | Her Majesty said:"I would like to see how you jump, can you show me a little?" |
889 | Her Majesty said:"Why must you change your clothes? |
889 | Her Majesty then enquired:"Do you think that this Artist lady will paint my picture to look black also? |
889 | Her Majesty turned to me and said:"Have you ever witnessed such an operation?" |
889 | Her Majesty walked along a little way, then laughed and said to me:"Do n''t I look more comfortable now? |
889 | How dare she suggest that you would say anything against Miss Carl? |
889 | How dare they give orders without receiving instructions from me first? |
889 | How did you learn? |
889 | How is Yu Keng?" |
889 | How is it?" |
889 | How would you like to look after her? |
889 | I can see that it is myself all right, but why is it that my face and hands are dark?" |
889 | I order you to bring all your things to this place, but what is your father going to do? |
889 | I told her that perhaps Mrs. Conger thought I wanted to advise her to refuse this request, but Her Majesty said:"What does that matter? |
889 | I was very much surprised to see Court ladies doing this kind of work and I said to myself, if I come here will I have to do this sort of thing? |
889 | I wonder who made that story up? |
889 | Is it bad luck?" |
889 | Is it true that the foreigners do n''t respect their parents at all- that they could beat their parents and drive them out of the house?" |
889 | Is that true?" |
889 | Is this dress only worn on certain occasions, or is it worn any time, even when gentlemen are present?" |
889 | Matters became worse day by day and Yung Lu was the only one against the Boxers, but what could one man accomplish against so many? |
889 | Now, where can we put her? |
889 | One day Her Majesty asked me:"What kind of medicine does a foreign doctor usually give in case of a fever? |
889 | Plancon say yesterday? |
889 | She again asked me what was my objection to getting married; was I afraid of having a mother- in- law, or what was it? |
889 | She again examined the portrait and said:"Why is it that one side of your face is painted white and the other black? |
889 | She asked me:"How do you like this kind of life?" |
889 | She asked:"Do you not think this food has more flavor than that prepared by the cooks?" |
889 | She came out and said:"I want to see you people eat; why is it that you are standing at the end of the table, the best dishes are not there? |
889 | She could not understand this at all, and exclaimed:"Why has this gone black? |
889 | She looked surprised and said:"Why did n''t you tell me that before? |
889 | She said that I had guessed right, and asked:"Do you know anything about this audience? |
889 | She said to me:"I know you can wear my shoes, for I tried yours on the first day you came, do n''t you remember? |
889 | She said:"How is it that these foreign ladies have such large feet? |
889 | She said:"If her brother has been in the Customs service for so long, how is it that she does n''t speak Chinese also?" |
889 | She said:"Oh, must you jump with music?" |
889 | She said:"What kind of a place is this wonderful Paris I have heard so much about? |
889 | She sat up on the bed, smiled, and said:"Are you glad to come back? |
889 | She smiled and asked:"Have you had a good rest? |
889 | Tell me, have you yet changed your opinion with regard to foreign customs? |
889 | Tell me, is not this so?" |
889 | That night one Court lady came over to me while I was sitting on the veranda and said:"I wonder if you will look nice in Manchu dress?" |
889 | Then I heard Her Majesty say to the Emperor,"Is that correct?" |
889 | Then she asked us:"Is it very tiring to hold half of your dress in your hand when you are walking? |
889 | Then she said:"Has anyone told you to put them away as soon as I am finished with them? |
889 | They asked:"Do you think you would like to live in this place, and how long do you intend to stay?" |
889 | This Li was indeed a bad and cruel man, and said:"Why not beat him to death?" |
889 | Was she really pleased? |
889 | What does the Emperor know? |
889 | What is dancing? |
889 | What is the general opinion amongst the foreigners regarding myself? |
889 | What is the matter with you?" |
889 | What is the use of changing everything? |
889 | When Her Majesty saw me, she asked me:"Where have you been?" |
889 | When will he be able to come to the Court? |
889 | When will it take place?" |
889 | While we were talking Her Majesty said that she felt chilly and asked:"Are you cold? |
889 | Who can the rest of the people be? |
889 | Who told you to come and wake me?" |
889 | Who told you?" |
889 | Why are your arms and neck all bare? |
889 | Why could n''t they leave China to deal with her own subjects and mind their own business a little more? |
889 | Why did n''t you show them to me before?" |
889 | Would n''t it be foolish to have a school at the Palace; besides, where am I going to get so many girls to study? |
889 | and on my brother answering that he had, Her Majesty said:"Why did n''t you tell me? |
889 | it is you, is it? |
19220 | ''And why, Counsellor, would you wish that I were Saint Peter?'' 19220 And is all this really so?" |
19220 | And now, sir,said he to Cumin,"I do n''t see as I am to be better off for this, if I get my second hundred again; but how is that to be done?" |
19220 | By virtue of your oath, are you positive that this is the same hat? |
19220 | Can you say that without a sigh? |
19220 | Did you examine it carefully before you swore in your informations that it was the prisoner''s? |
19220 | Do you ever expect to visit it again? |
19220 | Have you been long out of your native country? |
19220 | How can you so tamely bear the censures I pronounce against your country? |
19220 | How, do you know my name? |
19220 | Moriarty, sir, is my name, and a good one it is; and what have you to say agen it? 19220 Mr. O''Connell, what part of the fowl shall I help you to?" |
19220 | Of what regiment, pray? |
19220 | One- and- sixpence for a walking- stick? 19220 Then you are a man of family?" |
19220 | This is the same hat? |
19220 | Well, Darby,said the Counsellor, taking him on the cross- examination,"you told the whole truth to that gentleman?" |
19220 | Well, what interesting topic engages your attention now? |
19220 | Well,said O''Connell,"he is found guilty?" |
19220 | What is that you say, fellow? |
19220 | What is the matter? |
19220 | What is your name? |
19220 | What then, sir? |
19220 | What''s that you call me, you murderin''villian? |
19220 | What, Roger, wo n''t you buy the poultry? |
19220 | Why then, sir, I am come to demand of you, whether you are the author of this poem( producing it), and the villanous lines on me? |
19220 | Why, what sort of a creature are you,exclaimed he,"to commit a fault which can not be mended?" |
19220 | Will you have an apple- pie, sir? 19220 Yet you do not seem angry?" |
19220 | You''re an Englishman, Sir? |
19220 | Your share of it; now by virtue of your oath, was not your share of it_ all but the pewter_? |
19220 | ''And pray, monsieur,''rejoined John Bull to the Frenchman,''why_ encore_?'' |
19220 | ''And would you burn me?'' |
19220 | ''And would you,''she asked,''burn me alive?'' |
19220 | ''For what?'' |
19220 | ''Why do you not answer me, sir?'' |
19220 | ( How d''ye do, Pat?) |
19220 | --"Well, my Lord, I was hurrying here as fast as ever I could-- I did not even change my dress-- I hope I shall be excused for coming in my boots?" |
19220 | A junior counsel asked the witness,"What is the meaning of the military phrase,''ride him down?''" |
19220 | Are these the materials of which we suppose anarchy and public rapine to be formed? |
19220 | Ay boys, ai nt ye all dry?" |
19220 | Being asked, upon what subject? |
19220 | But your Riverence, I suppose, has law for it? |
19220 | Can you behold him without shame and indignation? |
19220 | Do you think it wise or humane at this moment to insult them, by sticking up in a pillory the man who dared to stand forth as their advocate? |
19220 | Does he disobey the laws? |
19220 | Has the bigoted malignity of any individual been crushed? |
19220 | Have any alarms been occasioned by the emancipation of our Catholic brethren? |
19220 | Have you not marked how the human heart bowed to the supremacy of his power, in the undissembled homage of deferential horror? |
19220 | Have you not marked, when he entered, how the stormy wave of the multitude retired at his approach? |
19220 | He then spelled aloud the name James-- slowly, thus:--"J-- a-- m-- e-- s.""Now, do you mean those words were in the hat when you found it?" |
19220 | He was about to resume his seat, when the judge, Baron M''Cleland, said, with a peculiar emphasis,"Mr. O''Connell, have you a_ brief_ in this case?" |
19220 | His cause would not allow him to be fair; for why is the rule adopted in this single action? |
19220 | His first compliment when he saw her a little time afterwards was,"Pray, madam, are you as proud and ill- natured now as when I saw you last?" |
19220 | How came you to leave all the Lords that you are so fond of, to come here to see a poor Dean?" |
19220 | How long shall mortals bend to gain? |
19220 | How long shall vice triumphant reign? |
19220 | How long shall virtue hide her face, And leave her votaries in disgrace? |
19220 | How otherwise happens it, that modern slavery looks quietly at the despot on the very spot where Leonidas expired? |
19220 | I wonder where you stole''em: Could nothing but thy chief reproach Serve for a motto on thy coach? |
19220 | In the other case, how does the work of sedition go forward? |
19220 | Is this fancy, or is it fact? |
19220 | Is this the man on whom to fasten the abominable charge of goading on a frantic populace to mutiny and bloodshed? |
19220 | Let me see what should I have had? |
19220 | Now there is a market exactly in the road by which I had to pass-- your Lordship may perhaps recollect the market-- do you?" |
19220 | On our coming in,"Hey- day, gentlemen( says the Doctor), what''s the meaning of this visit? |
19220 | On their arrival, the bear was still on duty, and O''Leary stepped up to him, says:--''_Cianos tha''n thu, a Phadhrig_?'' |
19220 | Or do you wish to prepare them for the revocation of these improvident concessions? |
19220 | Or has the stability of the government or that of the country been weakened? |
19220 | Or is one million of subjects stronger than four millions? |
19220 | Speaking of the liberty of the press, he says--"What, then, remains? |
19220 | The assertion is just; but has he treated you fairly by its application? |
19220 | The officer then said,"Is it true Mr. O''Connell has been shot?" |
19220 | Then you are reconciled to your fate?" |
19220 | Think not so poor a book below thy care; Who knows the price that thou canst make it bear? |
19220 | Well, what does Paddy do? |
19220 | What brought you to this country?" |
19220 | What was it?--what was it?" |
19220 | What''s- your- Name?" |
19220 | When they came to the Phoenix park, Swift remarked a new building which he had never seen, and asked what it was designed for? |
19220 | Where am I to seek it? |
19220 | Where do you think he was hit?" |
19220 | Where is there a possibility of obtaining defensive evidence? |
19220 | Who, then, are the parties? |
19220 | Why, you potato- faced pippin- sneezer, when did a Madagascar monkey like you pick enough of common Christian dacency to hide your Kerry brogue?" |
19220 | Will you have a cherry- pie, sir? |
19220 | Will you have a currant- pie, sir? |
19220 | Will you have a gooseberry- pie, sir? |
19220 | Will you have a pigeon- pie, sir?" |
19220 | Will you have a plum- pie, sir? |
19220 | With what feelings can you regard a rank that he has so tarnished, and a patent that he has so worse than cancelled? |
19220 | let him in by all means.--Well, friend, what do you want to say to me about my coffin?'' |
19220 | none here but you_?" |
19220 | or to refuse a letter from any one? |
19220 | said Swift,"and may I command here, as in my own house?" |
19220 | said he,"is it because I am in your power that you dare to take these liberties with me? |
19220 | who can tell the length of Eternity?'' |
19220 | who would listen to_ him?_ I always walk out of the House when he opens his lips,""Come, Peel,"said Lord Westmoreland,"let me hear your opinion." |

15413 | A Test.--A cobbler at Leyden, who used to attend the public disputations held at the academy, was once asked if he understood Latin? |
15413 | After looking at it an instant, he said in an inquiring tone,"Scratch?" |
15413 | At last, losing patience, he asked them why they treated him so unmercifully? |
15413 | At length he put a poser--"And pray, sir, how are turnips this year?" |
15413 | At length, after a great many sarcastic remarks, one of them, yawning, said,"Well, what shall we do with ourselves this evening?" |

15413 | Majestic silence,"& c. Use of H.--"What has become of your famous General_ Eel?_"said the Count d''Erleon to Mr. Campbell. |
15413 | Mr. Proger, however, calling to his cousin, Mr. Powell opened the window, and looking out, asked,"In the name of wonder, what means all this noise? |
15413 | On looking about, he saw a man lying on a bed, whom he hailed thus:"Are there any Christians in this house?" |
15413 | One day the king said to him,"You have, I presume, sir, helped many a man into another world?" |

15413 | The chief justice rose, and leaning over the bench, said, in a half whisper,"Brother, were you ever in the stocks?" |
15413 | The next day, the doctor coming to see his patient, inquired if he had followed his prescription? |
15413 | The physician felt his pulse, and said,"Do you eat well?" |
15413 | The surgeon turned about, but instead of giving any assistance, exclaimed,"You blockhead, what do you do here with a man that has lost his head?" |
15413 | Then addressing himself to the count, he asked if he recognised him? |
15413 | Upon his answering him how long,--"Why,"said the king,"you staid there long enough; how is it you did not convert the pope?" |
15413 | Was I not right when I said that you would repent of it?" |
15413 | What do you say now?" |
15413 | What, sir, does''_ Nisi Dominus frustra_,''mean?" |

18934 | Do n''t you see that they are in for the prize? |
18934 | Do you know Tirano, a hamlet in a nest of vines, where Italian soldiers strut and women sleep in the sun beside baskets of fruit? 18934 Do you know a man, Scudamour? |
18934 | Heard from Henry? |
18934 | How about the children? |
18934 | How did he take it? |
18934 | How? |
18934 | Is it a pigeon? |
18934 | Madame,I reply calmly, and bowing low,"what else was to be expected? |
18934 | No word of Henry''s getting leave of absence? |
18934 | Oh, you know Nottingham,he says, interestedly;"and how do you like Labouchere for a member?" |
18934 | Or was it the day before? |
18934 | She is grateful to me,he concluded,"for drawing away suspicion from the other man, but what can have made the father so amiable? |
18934 | To stay with Alexander? |
18934 | We have a notion,Scrymgeour said, with an effort, on my second night,"that you would rather we did not feast you to- morrow evening?" |

18934 | What has taken him there? |
18934 | What sort of character did he have among the fellows? |
18934 | Where do you get it? |
18934 | Why had I not tried the tobacco,he asked,"instead of taking a third cigar?" |
18934 | With her? |
18934 | You want me to be intercessor? 18934 ''Do n''t you remember Tom Rufus,''Jack asked,''who used to play the female part at the Cambridge A.D.C.? 18934 ''Do you mean to say that in the beginning of May you were taking my prescription daily? 18934 ''One cigar a day, when I ordered you three? 18934 ''Where on earth did you come from?'' 18934 After all, why should I take in a daily paper? 18934 Are you listening? 18934 Are you sure of the date?'' |

18934 | But is this wise? |
18934 | But is_ Rosalind_ to be taken seriously? |
18934 | But stop; does such a passion have a beginning? |
18934 | But who was she? |
18934 | But why was this period riper for magnificent deeds and noble literature than any other in English history? |
18934 | But would it not have been rather hard on me to have had to forsake my books for the sake of Gilray''s flowers and flower- pots and plants and things? |
18934 | But, after all, my mother is older than I am; and who am I, to set my views up against hers? |
18934 | Did I really mean to do this, or was I only trying to cheat my conscience? |
18934 | Did he, or did he not, mean to try that tobacco? |
18934 | Do you fancy me explaining that he is quite right in saying that Nottingham has a large market- place? |
18934 | Do you imagine me thirsting to tell that Mr. Labouchere is the Christian member for Northampton? |
18934 | Do you now note the same symptoms? |
18934 | Do you remember his favorite seat at the door of the saloon?" |

18934 | Have you experienced a sudden sinking at the heart, followed by thrills of exultation? |
18934 | Having given them this warning, can it be said that I was to blame-- at least, to any considerable extent? |
18934 | He cried out,"Who is that?" |
18934 | How happily we entered it; were we the same persons who left it within an hour? |
18934 | How long ago is that?'' |
18934 | I presume, too, that you feel most depressed in the evening-- say, immediately after dinner?'' |
18934 | I put it to any sensible man or woman, could I have been expected to give up my friends for the sake of a chrysanthemum? |
18934 | I said,"Have you killed him?" |
18934 | I said,"Is that the editor?" |
18934 | If I had begun the day with a meerschaum, might it not have shown itself in a new light? |
18934 | Is this love, after all? |
18934 | Is this passion? |
18934 | My brother wrote me saying he had received something from me, for which his best thanks; but would I tell him what it was, as it puzzled everybody? |
18934 | My dream is the following criticism: What is the Critics''Dramatic Society? |
18934 | My father had been very good to me; why, then, should I do that which I had promised him not to do? |
18934 | Nay, more, in a pathetic case of this kind, have I not a certain responsibility? |
18934 | Now, what is to be done? |
18934 | Often they took the form of postscripts:"By the way, are you watering my chrysanthemum?" |
18934 | One day he wrote to me saying that his nephew was going to Bombay, and would I be so good as to give the youth an introduction to my brother Henry? |

18934 | The question for me, therefore, is, Is this the beginning of a tempestuous, surging passion? |
18934 | The question was, what was the proper thing for me to do? |
18934 | Then he said, with affected jocularity:"Well, young man, do you know that you are an uncle?" |
18934 | WHAT COULD HE DO? |
18934 | WHAT COULD HE DO? |
18934 | Was there not less in him than met the eye? |
18934 | Was this right? |
18934 | We were never baffled, for"Jimmy''s touches"were unmistakable; and"Have you seen Jimmy this week in the_ Saturday_ on Lewis Morris?" |

29022 | exclaimed Round,"you do n''t mean to say I''ve been putting on more flesh? |
29022 | what was that?" |
42228 | Ah, Conway,drawled the new- comer,"so we have arrived at last, and this is the hotel you recommended, is it? |
42228 | But yourself? |
42228 | But,he continued,"how long start will you give me?" |
42228 | Did you eat meat to- day? |
42228 | Do you mean to tell me that that black fellow can see spoor going at this pace and over such ground as we are now on? |
42228 | Do you think he will be able to track them? |
42228 | Fast, is it? |
42228 | First, why did the chief attack us? 42228 Halt, who goes there?" |
42228 | How on earth does he know that? |
42228 | If so, what then? |
42228 | Is it not written,I said,"''He that lendeth to the poor giveth to the Lord''? |
42228 | Is your head well above water, and can you hang on till I get help from the fort? |
42228 | Look for you? |
42228 | Lost in the bush? |
42228 | Now, what made you come here? |
42228 | Sure, and do n''t I know that? |
42228 | Tracks? |
42228 | Well, and whose fault is that now? 42228 What do you mean? |
42228 | What have they been doing to you to capsize you in this fashion, and why do n''t you take water with your pongello? |
42228 | What have you given the colonel? |
42228 | What the deuce have you been up to, Mike? |
42228 | What''s that? |
42228 | Where are they? |
42228 | Who has been here? 42228 Who the devil has been here, you drunken blackguard?" |
42228 | Why, Davy, what''s the matter? |
42228 | Why, what''s gone wrong with you? |
42228 | Will they become converted and join the Hau Haus? |
42228 | Will you try some, sir? |
42228 | Word of honour? |
42228 | Again I not pointed him out the dangers he ran in attacking a Christian? |
42228 | Again, how did he escape my search and that of other parties who had looked for him? |
42228 | And were we not responsible for the honour of it? |
42228 | And what greater calamity was possible to mortal man than to have an obscene lizard grow out of his hand? |
42228 | And, above all, why did not a lion skoff him? |
42228 | Another thing, what were they doing there? |
42228 | Are you much hurt?" |
42228 | Are you one?" |
42228 | But then why, O Te Parione, did he forbid us food and water? |
42228 | But, then, what will not some men risk for notoriety? |
42228 | By the way, what is the strength of your invading force?" |
42228 | Could I not give him some sound advice? |
42228 | Could he not be allowed to sleep longer? |
42228 | Did you imbibe the faith?" |
42228 | Do n''t you hear the row the boys are making inspanning, or see the river in front of you?" |
42228 | Do n''t you see the waggons? |
42228 | Do n''t you see you are on the road? |
42228 | Do you mind taking him with you? |
42228 | Do you want work of that sort?" |
42228 | Had I not assured him that the mana of the white man''s God was far stronger than the mana of his pagan deities? |
42228 | Had he believed me and taken my advice? |
42228 | Had he brought his dress out with him? |
42228 | Had it not knocked him over and over again, and that with the peaceful end of it? |
42228 | Had it not made him see more stars in a few minutes than he had ever before seen in his whole life? |
42228 | Had not the Waikatos lent us their pah to live in? |
42228 | Have you removed anything from it?" |
42228 | He was game to lead, were the twenty- five game to follow? |
42228 | How could we give it up? |
42228 | How could we give up the pah? |
42228 | How dare you grin over my shoulder like that?" |
42228 | I jumped forward and seized him, saying:"What''s the matter with you? |
42228 | If we had prevented you from obtaining food, how could you have continued to fight?" |
42228 | If you had fallen three days ago where would you have been now?" |
42228 | It was clear that the first thing to be done was to get the natives to come back to their kainga; but how? |
42228 | Long odds, my gentle reader? |
42228 | My friend was raving mad, and wanted me at once to alarm my troopers, but I said:"No; you''d got your gun with you just now, why did you not use it?" |
42228 | No; had they not seen the beast come out of my hand at the very moment I was relating my dream? |
42228 | Now I hold pen instead of carbine and revolver, but why should memories of the old days pass away? |
42228 | Now was that Hau Hau, blood- stained brute as he undoubtedly was, a martyr or only a bally fool? |
42228 | Now what in the name of Comus could Jack want with a wheelbarrow? |
42228 | Oh, how can you say that? |
42228 | Peering over, I could see nothing, so shouted:"Steve, are you much hurt?" |
42228 | Presently along''e comes, and sez''e to me, sez''e:''Brother, wherefore did you assault me while in the water?'' |
42228 | Stubbs, another of the Englishmen, was stabbed by a boy, and when he felt it was his death wound exclaimed:"Am I to be killed by a boy like you?" |
42228 | The General knew they had no water, then why did he risk the lives of his splendid men by ordering futile assaults? |
42228 | The man thereupon brought out the bottle from his haversack, and said to him:"Do you think this would do you any good, sir?" |
42228 | Then he cursed them with unction, but that succeeded no better, till at last, thoroughly angry, he shouted out:"Oh, you want a smash, do you? |
42228 | Then who was to blame? |
42228 | Then, turning to his people, he would say:"What is the use of this crying? |
42228 | True, I only had my sheath knife and fingers to eat with, but what of that? |
42228 | Was I not fighting in the Crimee with your honourable father before he was breeched? |
42228 | Was I spiteful? |
42228 | Was I, fool as I had been, to lose my head and run mad through the bush like an untrained new chum? |
42228 | Was he growing wings like a duck, or, perchance, fins like a fish? |
42228 | Was the river uncrossable? |
42228 | Was there no soda water? |
42228 | Was there not great danger from wild animals and snakes? |
42228 | We were thin, footsore, our legs torn, our kit in rags; but what mattered that? |
42228 | What are you doing here?" |
42228 | What became of his rifle, boots and clothes? |
42228 | What for did yer try to drown me?'' |
42228 | What had happened? |
42228 | What is the cause of this awful smell, and what have you been making such a row about?" |
42228 | What man dare make fun of, or render ridiculous, the dignity and majesty of the head chiefs of the Arawa tribe? |
42228 | What on earth use could the gift of tongues be to a man when there was not to be a single foreigner left in the country with whom to collogue? |
42228 | What then should be done with Pehi and his party? |
42228 | What was to be done? |
42228 | What was to be done? |
42228 | What will I do? |
42228 | What will I do?" |
42228 | What''s that you say? |
42228 | Where was he to sleep? |
42228 | Where, therefore, would be the fun if he could not kill his enemy, eat him, nor turn his bones into useful and ornamental articles? |
42228 | Why did they not go for me? |
42228 | Why now should I let these childish qualms assail me and funk shadows? |
42228 | Why? |
42228 | Will yez call on the blessed saints or not, ye contumacious blaggard?" |
42228 | Would I give it him? |
42228 | Would he do me a very great favour? |
42228 | a horse ca n''t understand you? |
42228 | he was a poor man, he had none; but would I not lend him the gun, just to shoot one Christian with? |
42228 | rifles, and that you will take three or four batteries of artillery, rockets, etc., and that a percentage of your natives will be armed with rifles?" |
42228 | tell me I was too small? |
21755 | ''Ave you never seen''em since? |
21755 | ''Ow much for a fard''n? |
21755 | Ah, ai n''t it prime? 21755 An''did ye see nothin''more of''er arter that?" |
21755 | An''what are statters? |
21755 | An''what was they? |
21755 | Are there many winzes, Captain Jan? |
21755 | Are you all right on deck? |
21755 | Are you an honest boy? |
21755 | Are you goin''to bust yourself wi''larfin'', by way of gettin''a happetite for the breakfast that you hain''t no prospect of? |
21755 | But suppose he is not ruined-- that he manages, by gambling, to support himself? |
21755 | But what if the gambler has no family? |
21755 | Could I find Saint Paul''s, or the Moniment? 21755 Could you find it again?" |
21755 | D''ye want''em? |
21755 | Do you believe that a miser is a morally diseased man? |
21755 | Does he? |
21755 | Does it not? |
21755 | For why? |
21755 | For_ one_ fard''n? |
21755 | Haere du, fiskman,( hear you, fisherman), she cried,"vil du har otte skillings?" |
21755 | How deep is it? |
21755 | How ever did you manage it, Dick? |
21755 | How many child''n, say''ee? 21755 How many have you had altogether, Dan?" |
21755 | Howlet,said the other impressively,"d''ye think the Wilkins is livin''in the same place still?" |
21755 | I see you''re in a hurry; how much do you want? |
21755 | If so, why do you lose interest in the game when there are no stakes? |
21755 | Is n''t that much the same thing? |
21755 | Is not that fatalism of the most pronounced nature, Tom? |
21755 | Man alive I do n''t ye know? 21755 May I sit up in the dining- room to- night, father, till two in the morning?" |
21755 | Please, sir, does the Wilkins stop here? |
21755 | Pump, sur? |
21755 | That, sur? 21755 Then I suppose that you consider gambling, even to the smallest extent, to be sin?" |
21755 | There-- wasn''t that a light? |
21755 | Under which of the ten commandments does it fall? |
21755 | Well, what happened arter that? |
21755 | Well,said he,"what would you think of trying to write a story?" |
21755 | What d''ee want? |
21755 | What disease? |
21755 | What does it pump? |
21755 | What ever is it? |
21755 | What may be your text? |
21755 | What street? |
21755 | What was the use o''my goin''to see''em w''en I''ad nothin''to give''em? |
21755 | What would you advise, old man? |
21755 | What''s that? |
21755 | What''s that? |
21755 | What-- the young man from the country as I''ve see''d standin''at the dock gates day after day for weeks without getting took on? |
21755 | Where away? |
21755 | Where? |
21755 | Why so, Captain Bolter? |
21755 | Why, what ever is the matter with you? |
21755 | Wonder if his mother''as any more like''i m? |
21755 | Would I wait where I was until he returned? |
21755 | Yes-- ain''t it jolly convenient? |
21755 | You do n''t mean it, do you? |
21755 | You mind Dick Wilkin, do n''t you? |
21755 | You see that mark there, sir, on Smith''s Ledge? |
21755 | You''ve not mentioned this to any one, have you, Pat? |
21755 | ` Are you a gardener?'' 21755 ` Did you expect to find me in the dinin''-room?'' |
21755 | ` Do it?'' 21755 ` That?'' |
21755 | ''Ave you forgotten Howlet?" |
21755 | ( will you have eight skillings?) |
21755 | An anxious father says-- if he does not also pray--"What shall I train my boy to be?" |
21755 | And what says the word? |
21755 | But go on, old fellow, what more have you to say against gambling-- for you have not yet convinced me?" |
21755 | But how to do it? |
21755 | But is it not singular that you should doubt the only incident in the story which I personally verified? |
21755 | But what did you dream about''em?" |
21755 | But what fraction of good is done by the gambler in all the wide world?" |
21755 | But what has all this to do wi''your dream?" |
21755 | Comed it soft over the''ousemaid; said I was a gardener in search of a job, an''would she mind tellin''me where the head- gardener was? |
21755 | Did you ever notice that?" |
21755 | Do you know how to tie two blankets or sheets together, so that the knot shall not slip? |
21755 | Do you know how you would attempt to throw water on the walls of one of your rooms, if it were on fire near the ceiling? |
21755 | Do you know of any other mode of exit from your house than by the front or back doors and the staircase? |
21755 | Does not the rich gambler walk away with the money that was due to the poor one''s butcher, baker, brewer, etcetera?" |
21755 | Does the agreement make wrong right?" |
21755 | Fire away, Dick; what see''d you about the statoos?" |
21755 | Has it ever occurred to you to think what you would do if your house took fire at night? |
21755 | Have I not rather, on the contrary, got credit among my friends for being somewhat of a spendthrift? |
21755 | Have you a rope at home which would support a man''s weight, and extend from an upper window to the ground? |
21755 | Have''ee seen anything o''the Red Cross Fleet?" |
21755 | Hence devolves upon every one the responsibility of putting and finding an answer to the question-- How shall I make the best of life? |
21755 | Is it for the sake of getting money that you gamble?" |
21755 | Is it then between themselves? |
21755 | Is not that fair?" |
21755 | Is not this partly owing to that fatal habit of nailing the colours? |
21755 | Is there not something very mean and contemptible in this state of being? |
21755 | Looking at their clean, wholesome faces, neat attire, and orderly demeanour, I thought,"Is it possible that these are the sweepings of the streets?" |
21755 | Man''s first prayer in all his plans of life should be--"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
21755 | Need we say that it was a glorious feast? |
21755 | Or is it a matter for surprise that her temper began to give way under the strain? |
21755 | Shall I consult the Pater? |
21755 | Shall I invite the aid of the police? |
21755 | Suddenly she paused, and in a tone of the deepest solemnity, said--"Haere du, fiskman, vil du har ti( ten) shillings?" |
21755 | That''s fair, is n''t it?" |
21755 | The cure for this is to be found-- as usual-- in the Scripture:"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? |
21755 | Vil du tak am dram? |
21755 | W''ereabouts is the cellar?" |
21755 | Was he not in his native wilds? |
21755 | Was he not the son of a noted brave? |
21755 | Was_ he_ going to submit to the disgrace of losing his way; and, what was much worse, losing his feast? |
21755 | Wery odd, ai n''t it, eh, Howlet, that people never is surprised at anything they sees in dreams? |
21755 | What was he to do? |
21755 | What was it, then?" |
21755 | What was yours?" |
21755 | What, then,_ is_ best? |
21755 | Where was the smallest mite of all the guests? |
21755 | With, such a sea running the venture was perilous in the extreme, but when the mission skipper said"Who''ll go?" |
21755 | You see, I did n''t want for to have no more words wi''the gardener,--for why? |
21755 | ` Look''ere, my man, what d''ee call that there tree?'' |
21755 | ` What d''ee want wi''me?'' |
21755 | because I''d seen all I wanted to see-- d''ee see? |
21755 | but I_ was_ bad-- that bad that it seemed as if I should be cleared out o''my mortal carcase entirely--""Mulligrumps?" |
21755 | har du fisk to sell?" |
21755 | said I,"wait in a draughty level with an extinguishable candle close to the main shaft, with 30 or 40 miles of levels around, and no end of winzes? |
21755 | she cried,"vil du har_ ni_( nine) skillings?" |

48273 | Mr. Lincoln: Is n''t that a little hard on the others, Sallie? |
48273 | Mr. Lincoln: Mother, what in the world is this? |
48273 | Mrs. Lincoln(_ starting up_): John, why do you drop the wood in that noisy way? |
48273 | Mrs. Lincoln: What for? |

48273 | Mrs. Mortimer(_ enters at right_): Children, what in the world are you doing? |
48273 | Mrs. Mortimer(_ jumping up_): For joy? |

48273 | My son fight against the old flag? |
48273 | O what have we to fear? |
48273 | O why should the spirit of mortal be proud? |
48273 | O, what shall we do? |
48273 | O, why did she do it? |
48273 | OLD FLAG Hubbard Parker What shall I say to you, Old Flag? |

48273 | Shall it be love, or hate, John, It''s you thet''s to decide; Ai n''t your bonds held by Fate, John, Like all the world''s beside? |
48273 | Shall the ages bring us another As good and as great? |
48273 | Shall we now see our flag bowed low? |
48273 | Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days of auld lang syne?" |
48273 | The South says,"_ Poor folks down!_"John, An''"_ All men up!_"say we,-- White, yaller, black, an''brown, John: Now which is your idee? |
48273 | The girl pours out a cup of tea for each during the words:"Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? |
48273 | They meet at right- front._) Sally(_ in excited undertone_): Auntie Temp, what do you think? |
48273 | Third: What are its colors? |
48273 | Thomas(_ enters at right_): What''s that, Jack? |
48273 | Thomas: But, how about your sum and my geography lesson? |
48273 | Thomas: What''s the use of_ his_ reading the Life of Washington? |
48273 | What can you mean, Sally Caroline? |
48273 | What could a woman do? |
48273 | What did he make them with? |
48273 | What do you mean? |
48273 | What good will it ever do me, I''d like to know, to get the names of all these islands in my head? |
48273 | What is he going to do? |
48273 | What is your mission now, Old Flag? |
48273 | What more need a fellow know? |
48273 | What need hath he now of a tardy crown, His name from mocking jest and sneer to save? |
48273 | What ruler ever won it like this dead President of ours? |
48273 | What saith Dull history that reckoneth But coldly? |
48273 | What shall we see if we wait? |

48273 | Who made the law thet hurts, John,_ Heads I win,--ditto tails_? |
48273 | Who now can save us? |
48273 | Who shall guard the camp tonight, If no guard here is awake? |
48273 | Why should he? |
48273 | Why talk so dreffle big, John, Of honor when it meant You did n''t care a fig, John, But jest for_ ten per cent_? |
48273 | Why was he famed above other men, His name upon every tongue and pen,-- The illustrious Abe Lincoln? |

48273 | You''re not a fellow, are you? |
48273 | did n''t you, Sallie? |
48273 | how could he ever have gone against the flag of his forefathers? |
48273 | what de wo''ld you- all do dat foh? |
48273 | what was the secret, then, Of his being America''s honored son? |
48273 | who''ll be a Volunteer? |
21267 | ''How is that?'' 21267 ''I suppose the Indians out there call it Minneboohoo, do n''t they? |
21267 | ''You have,''he continued,''seen two men about to fight?'' 21267 And may I?" |
21267 | But was not Mr. Lincoln a man of great humanity? |
21267 | By the way, gentlemen, can either of you tell me where General Grant procures his whisky? 21267 Do n''t you think I was right now?" |
21267 | Do you recollect the argument we had on the way up to Freeport two years ago over the question I was going to ask Judge Douglas? |
21267 | How many stars? |
21267 | How many white stripes? |
21267 | What about him? |
21267 | What day of the month is it? |
21267 | What is Judge Douglas''s popular sovereignty? |
21267 | What''s the matter? |
21267 | Where is he buried? |
21267 | Who is this man that is replying to Douglas in your State? |
21267 | Whose birthday is it? |
21267 | Why not? |
21267 | ( Had not all this terrible scene-- making the mimic ones preposterous-- had it not all been rehearsed, in blank, by Booth, beforehand?) |
21267 | ( So grieved and so wronged below), From the rest wherein thou art? |
21267 | ( Was it only a moon ago? |
21267 | A dream?--what means this pageant, then? |
21267 | AIR,_ What Can the Matter Be?_ Dear, dear, who can believe it? |
21267 | AIR,_ What Can the Matter Be?_ Dear, dear, who can believe it? |
21267 | And could it really be, then? |
21267 | And how shall I deck my song for the large sweet soul that has gone? |
21267 | And what shall my perfume be for the grave of him I love? |
21267 | And what shall the pictures be that I hang on the walls, To adorn the burial- house of him I love? |
21267 | And who does not see, even in this tragedy so recent, how fast the terror and ruin of the massacre are already burning into glory around the victim? |
21267 | And you, amid the master- race, Who seem so strangely out of place, Know ye who cometh? |
21267 | As soon as he observed them, and apprehended their embarrassment, he rose and walked to them, saying,''How do you do, my good fellows? |
21267 | But can we, while our votes will prevent it, allow it to spread into the national Territories, and to overrun us here in these free States? |
21267 | But did he do it for love? |
21267 | But if the negro is a man, is it not to that extent a total destruction of self- government to say that he, too, shall not govern himself? |
21267 | But where could it now find an ally to save it from its own mistake? |
21267 | Can a man be a warm- hearted man who is all head and conscience, or nearly so? |
21267 | Can we cast our votes with their views, and against our own? |
21267 | Can we not come together for the future? |
21267 | Could it be that Lincoln really was a great man? |
21267 | Dead? |
21267 | Dear, dear, who can conceive it? |
21267 | Did anybody here witness that war- like proceeding? |
21267 | Did anybody in this audience hear him use such language? |
21267 | Did ever so many hearts, in so brief a time, touch two such boundless feelings? |
21267 | Do they see it, those patient eyes? |
21267 | Do you mean that he had much of human nature in him? |
21267 | Do you mean, if the above definition is unsatisfactory, that Mr. Lincoln was tender and kind? |
21267 | Do you see that open transom?" |
21267 | From such a perfect text, shall Song aspire To light her faded fire, And into wandering music turn Its virtue, simple, sorrowful, and stern? |
21267 | Had he not lived long enough to keep the greatest promise that ever man made to his fellow men,--the practicable abolition of slavery? |
21267 | Has that argument any foundation in reason, any justification in history? |
21267 | How does this man compare with the acknowledged"Father of his country?" |
21267 | How great was his consequent loss? |
21267 | How many red stripes have you?" |
21267 | In exactly three- quarters of a minute, Old Glory said,"What do you think of that?" |
21267 | In our present differences is either party without faith of being in the right? |
21267 | In some surprise Mr. Lincoln inquired,"For what reason?" |
21267 | In view of our moral, social, and political responsibilities, can we do this? |
21267 | Is David dead? |
21267 | Is Hampden dead? |
21267 | Is Washington dead? |
21267 | Is any man that was ever fit to live dead? |
21267 | Is he dead? |
21267 | Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? |
21267 | Is it true, then, that any right plainly written in the Constitution has been denied? |
21267 | Is there any better or equal hope in the world? |
21267 | Is there heed in the happy skies For tokens of world- wide woe? |
21267 | Is there such perfect identity of interest among the States to compose a new union as to produce harmony only, and prevent renewed secession? |
21267 | Kindly Spirit!--Ah, when did treason Bid such a generous nature cease, Mild by temper and strong by reason, But ever leaning to love and peace? |
21267 | LINCOLN''S GRAVE BY MAURICE THOMPSON May one who fought in honor for the South Uncovered stand and sing by Lincoln''s grave? |
21267 | LINCOLN[31] BY JOHN VANCE CHENEY The hour was on us; where the man? |
21267 | May I?" |
21267 | Mr. Lincoln is acknowledged to have been a great man, but the question is, what made him great? |
21267 | Must Congress protect slavery in the Territories? |
21267 | Now, my friends, can this country be saved upon that basis? |
21267 | O, my Land, stricken dumb in your anguish, Do you feel, do you know, That the hand which reached out of the darkness Hath taken the whole? |
21267 | One of the great key- notes of England''s future is simply this-- what will be her relations with that great republic? |
21267 | Our President dead? |
21267 | Perish?--who was it said Our Leader had passed away? |
21267 | Shall a republic have less power of continuance when invading armies prevent a peaceful resort to the ballot- box? |
21267 | Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by National or by State authority? |
21267 | Shall the ages bring to us another As good, and as great? |
21267 | TWO BOYS FROM WASHINGTON GROUP:"If to please the people we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterwards defend our work?" |
21267 | The black festoons that stretch for miles, And turn the streets to funeral aisles? |
21267 | The cannon''s sudden, sullen boom,-- The bells that toll of death and doom,-- The rolling of the drums,-- The dreadful car that comes? |
21267 | The flags half- mast, that late so high Flaunted at each new victory? |
21267 | The question still is, was Mr. Lincoln a cold, heartless man, or a warm, affectionate man? |
21267 | The storm rose to a whirlwind; who would allay its wrath? |
21267 | These multitudes of solemn men, Who speak not when they meet, But throng the silent street? |
21267 | They met each other as if each would ask the other,"Am I awake, or do I dream?" |
21267 | To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak? |
21267 | Was it, O man beloved, Was it thy funeral only Over the land that moved? |
21267 | Were Mr. Lincoln''s expression and language odd and original, standing out peculiar from those of all other men? |
21267 | Were they not in their ancestral land naked, scarcely lifted above brutes, ignorant of the course of the sun, controlled by nature? |
21267 | What can I do for you? |
21267 | What did the people call Mr. Lincoln? |
21267 | What do you mean by humanity? |
21267 | What does this imply? |
21267 | What force shall it attach to intervening legislation? |
21267 | What lofty pennons flaunt? |
21267 | What mighty echoes haunt, As of great guns, o''er the main? |
21267 | What ruler ever won it like this dead President of ours? |
21267 | What validity to debts contracted for its overthrow? |
21267 | What, in the first place, do we mean by a warm- hearted man? |
21267 | Where did Mozart get his music? |
21267 | Where did Shakespeare get his genius? |
21267 | Where, in the history of nations, had a Chief Magistrate possessed more sources of consolation and joy than LINCOLN? |
21267 | Who can be what he was to the people; What he was to the State? |
21267 | Who can say that the President did not lay down his life by the firmness of his devotion to a great duty? |
21267 | Who is dead? |
21267 | Who shall look on the like again, Or see such host of the brave? |
21267 | Who shall recount our martyr''s sufferings for this people? |
21267 | Whose hand smote the lyre of the Scottish plowman? |
21267 | Why should there not be patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? |
21267 | Will you hazard so desperate a step while any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence? |
21267 | Will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake? |
21267 | Will you sit down?'' |
21267 | Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from? |
21267 | X O how shall I warble myself for the dead one there I loved? |
21267 | XI O what shall I hang on the chamber walls? |
21267 | You I can comfort; but how can I speak to that twilight million to whom his name was as the name of an angel of God? |
21267 | You do n''t know? |
21267 | and stayed the life of the German priest? |
21267 | asks a friend at my elbow, a little angrily; to which I reply,"Has not that question been answered already?" |
21267 | is it not sacred? |
21267 | what was the fault Of the grand old army''s sturdy assault At Richmond''s gates?" |
21267 | who, unmoved by our wailing, Is lying so low? |
43419 | And what''s that? |
43419 | And when will the four- thirty be along, do you think? |
43419 | Any freight trains? |
43419 | Are there any expresses before then? |
43419 | Are you going to learn to be a blower? 43419 Are you quite sure?" |
43419 | Assulting you? |
43419 | Begob,says Pat,"if I could n''t beat that bloomin''thing on the level, what chance did I stand running uphill?" |
43419 | By the way, are we all out of debt? |
43419 | By the way, are you a lawn mower? |
43419 | By the way, dear, do you knew that a Washington man was shot by a burglar and his life was saved by a pajama button, which the bullet struck? |
43419 | By the way, you know Charlie Benson, do n''t you? |
43419 | Can you swim? |
43419 | Did n''t the corpse owe me ten dollars? |
43419 | Did those birds come home? |
43419 | Do n''t you know me, Sim? |
43419 | Do they slice Creoles and serve them as omelettes? |
43419 | Does my hand tell that? |
43419 | G''wan,says the woman,"how''s that?" |
43419 | Good,says I,"but how about her feet?" |
43419 | Have you any poor relatives? |
43419 | Hello, Joe,says I,"why so glum?" |
43419 | Hello, Rufus,says I,"how''s business?" |
43419 | How big is the man? |
43419 | How could you walk ashore? |
43419 | How distant? |
43419 | I say, Tom,says O''Holleran,"do you believe in drames?" |
43419 | I say,says O''Holleran,"what kind of bushes do you call those, Tom?" |
43419 | Is this John Smith''s house? |
43419 | Look here,says she,"is n''t this pretty?" |
43419 | No,says I;"where was that?" |
43419 | No,says Tom,"what was it?" |
43419 | Nothing at all? |
43419 | Now what have you to say in your defense? |
43419 | Of course it would, but what is the use of having good credit unless you can use it? |
43419 | Say, boss,says the old man,"can you tell me if the three- fifteen has left?" |
43419 | Say,says I,"do you know we have been waiting here for an hour and a half?" |
43419 | Say,says I,"have you seen anything worth shooting around here?" |
43419 | Say,says I,"how about that money I lent you? |
43419 | Say,says I,"who the dickens are you and what do you want?" |
43419 | Say,says I,"why in thunder do n''t you assert your independence?" |
43419 | She had a new hat on; did you notice what it was like? |
43419 | Then how were you saved? |
43419 | Then what''s it a sign of when a married man drames he''s a bachelor? |
43419 | Then what? |
43419 | Then why do n''t you drink milk? |
43419 | Valuable? |
43419 | Was he in good spirits when you left him? |
43419 | Was n''t the wine good? |
43419 | Well, how the devil can it be a fair, stand- up fight if he keeps knocking me down all the time? |
43419 | Well, what of it? |
43419 | Well,says I,"did you succeed in getting him to think the same as yourself?" |
43419 | What are the rates? |
43419 | What are you up to, anyway? |
43419 | What brings you here? 43419 What could they do with a boiler so large as that?" |
43419 | What do I want? |
43419 | What has her feet got to do with it? |
43419 | What is the effect of gas? |
43419 | What was in the jug, Mac? |
43419 | What were you scrapping about just now? |
43419 | What''s a ventriloquist, Hiram? |
43419 | What''s the matter, Mac,says I,"was the jug empty?" |
43419 | What''s the matter, old man? |
43419 | What''s yours? |
43419 | What, Mac, you one of the mourners, too? |
43419 | Where are you? |
43419 | Where do you come from? |
43419 | Where''s your fare? |
43419 | Which tooth do you want extracted? |
43419 | Whoi not? |
43419 | Whoi? |
43419 | Whoi? |
43419 | Whoy so, mum? |
43419 | Why wo n''t he? |
43419 | Why, if he eats little green apples, wo n''t he have pains on the inside? |
43419 | Why,says I,"how did you manage it?" |
43419 | Why,says he,"have n''t you heard? |
43419 | Why,says he,"you''re Walter Jones yourself, ai n''t you?" |
43419 | Why,says the grocer,"if it was bad, what do you want more for?" |
43419 | Why? |
43419 | Ye lobster,says Tom,"whoi did n''t you run up the bank as I told you?" |
43419 | You confounded scoundrel,I says,"what do you mean by assulting me?" |
43419 | You do n''t suppose I could tell that by looking at your face, do you? |
43419 | You should not drink that stuff,says the old man,"why do you do it?" |
43419 | You''ve got it in the bank? |
43419 | And you say you''re going to try to collect it eh?" |
43419 | Are you a depositor?" |
43419 | Are you demented?" |
43419 | Are you dissatisfied with what you''ve had?" |
43419 | At the first stop, I went to the guard and said:"Say, this is pretty fast traveling, is n''t it?" |
43419 | By the way, did you ever get into one of those lunch counter, go- outside- and- get- something- fit- to- eat restaurants? |
43419 | By the way, what is it?" |
43419 | Ca n''t I paint well?" |
43419 | Ca n''t you go around and convince him that his life still holds some future brightness for him?" |
43419 | Did you ever notice what a lot of trouble a simple, little girl may make? |
43419 | Do n''t you think you are nuisance enough already?" |
43419 | Do you know anything?" |
43419 | Do you know, I had a deuce of a time in convincing them that it was not I who had stolen the machine? |
43419 | Do you know, all the gentlemen I mentioned in that song I just sang are my friends? |
43419 | Do you think every fellow who goes to Yonkers, has to get loaded to drown his sorrow? |
43419 | Finally, Percy said to the fellow behind the desk:"Are you the proprietor of this hash house?" |
43419 | Has he any marks by which he can be identified?" |
43419 | Have you ever noticed how easy it is to start a fellow extolling the virtues and graces of his chosen before he is married? |
43419 | How did you accomplish that extraordinary feat?" |
43419 | How''s this? |
43419 | I do n''t think I ever told you of the awful time I had, when I went yachting with my friend Rufus Sage, did I? |
43419 | I met a friend and says:"Say, Tom, can you tell me what has become of Walter Jones?" |
43419 | I wonder what would happen if I were to take that?" |
43419 | I wonder why?" |
43419 | Is this all right?" |
43419 | Just to liven things up a bit, I''ll sing you a song entitled"Music On The Installment Plan; or, How Would You Like To Be The Piano Man?" |
43419 | Never knew I was an actor? |
43419 | Now what do you think it was?" |
43419 | Now, who are you?" |
43419 | Say, did you ever go to a dime museum? |
43419 | Say, every one says Lakewood is so healthy, know why? |
43419 | Say, how do you stand on the servant question? |
43419 | Say, was n''t that last part fine? |
43419 | Shall I not give the poor little fly a mackintosh and an umbrella?" |
43419 | So he went over and says:"Kind sir, can you give a poor man who has heart trouble a drop of whiskey?" |
43419 | So, seeing the kid, he says:"Hey, where are the two men?" |
43419 | That made me mad as a hornet, and I says:"Go''way? |
43419 | The deacon looked him over and says:"Will the brother relate his experiences?" |
43419 | The identical girl came to the door, and Smith up and said:"Who the devil said it was John Smith''s?" |
43419 | The tailor came around and said:"See here, Harris, was n''t I kind enough to let you have that coat on tick? |
43419 | Was that the way of it?" |
43419 | What could your lawyer say that would influence my decision?" |
43419 | What were you before you became a loafer?" |
43419 | What would you do if that happened in your case?" |
43419 | When I passed the manager of the shebang, he says:"What''s the matter? |
43419 | Where will you have it sent?" |
43419 | Who is the wall- eyed, bandy- legged, beer- guzzling harp, who borrowed twenty dollars from me, out in Chicago?" |
43419 | Will you give me your heart?" |
43419 | Would n''t have thought it? |
43419 | [ Illustration] Did you hear that peculiar toot the fellow with the big horn gave when I finished up? |
43419 | [ Illustration] Finally the one who was getting the worst of it cried out:"Say, I thought this was to be a fair, stand- up fight?" |
43419 | [ Illustration] I rushed down to the bank, and says to the teller:"Is the cashier in?" |
43419 | [ Illustration] My wife shoved her head out of the window, and says:"Is that you, Billy, dear?" |
43419 | [ Illustration]"Feet, man,"says he,"what are you talking about? |
43419 | [ Illustration]"Get out,"says I,"is that so?" |
43419 | [ Illustration]"Hello, Matt,"says I,"how''s Mamie?" |
43419 | [ Illustration]"That''s a pretty hefty thing to sit on, ai n''t it?" |
43419 | [ Illustration]"What''s the matter?" |
43419 | know why"to"so healthy, know why?" |
43419 | says I,"what do you want?" |
43419 | says I;"toothache?" |
43419 | says he,"drinking beer again, friend Jones? |
7347 | ''Good morning, king,"said the farmer;"where are you folks going?" |
7347 | ''Any theoretical experience? 7347 ''Do I look nice, now, mother?'' |
7347 | ''Do n''t you see him, humped up about half- way up the tree?'' 7347 ''Have you conversed with any one who has read such a book?'' |
7347 | ''Have you ever attended lectures on doorkeeping?'' 7347 ''How did you do it?'' |
7347 | ''Rifle''s all right-- I know it is,''answered the boy;''but where''s your squirrel?'' 7347 ''Well, have you ever been a doorkeeper? |
7347 | ''Well, then, my friend, do n''t you see that you have n''t a single qualification for this important post?'' 7347 ''Well, what in the infernals are you passing for when people are shouting hello?''" |
7347 | ''Well, what in the infernals are you shouting''Hello''for when people are passing?'' 7347 ''Why did he call it a mistake?" |
7347 | ''Will you take us and our trunks out to the steamboat?'' 7347 ''You ai n''t mastered, are you?'' |
7347 | ''You are from the West, are n''t you?'' 7347 But what would you have me do?" |
7347 | But you will not abide the election of a Republican President? 7347 But, say, whatever did you do with that stone? |
7347 | Did I ever tell you the joke the Chicago newsboys had on me? 7347 Did Stanton ever march in the first line, to be shot at like this man?" |
7347 | Did you? |
7347 | Do n''t terrapins have feelings? |
7347 | Do you remember,continued the President,"his story about his going to Missouri to look up some Mormon lands belonging to his father?" |
7347 | Do you think that they would like to have Hannibal Hamlin-- his first vice- president-- here any better than myself? |
7347 | Do? 7347 Does the moon shine that night?" |
7347 | Eh? 7347 Grant, do you know what this reminds me of? |
7347 | Have you not seen Sheridan? |
7347 | Holt, were you ever in battle? |
7347 | How is it on your part? |
7347 | I presume,quietly replied Mr. Lincoln,"that there is room enough in her soil for seventy- five thousand graves?" |
7347 | I remember his saying over and over again,says the governor:"''What has God put me in this place for?''" |
7347 | I suppose you had to make large concessions to him, as he returns from you entirely satisfied? |
7347 | Is that all? |
7347 | Kellogg,remarked Lincoln quickly,"is there not something in the Bible about the shedding of blood for the remission of sins?" |
7347 | Relative of yours? |
7347 | That will be the truth? |
7347 | Then you will not go to war on account of slavery? |
7347 | Well, now, you see this nag of mine? 7347 Well,"said he,"did you meet a man going out as you came in? |
7347 | What I want to know is how are you going to pay_ my_ bill? |
7347 | What are you going to tell her about getting hurt? |
7347 | What in the world are you doing there? |
7347 | What''s the matter? |
7347 | Why did he not ask to be secretary of the treasury and have done with it? |
7347 | Why do n''t you answer him? |
7347 | Why, Dennis, what would you do were you President? |
7347 | Will you engage not to repeat that rowdy( blackguard) talk in the store while I am the master, and leave instanter? |
7347 | You do n''t say so? 7347 You know how that Illinois farmer managed the big log that lay in the middle of his field? |
7347 | Your plan is feasible, sir; but how are you to get the boy out? |
7347 | ''"Have you read any text- book on the subject?'' |
7347 | ''Did n''t the donkey do his duty?'' |
7347 | ''How is that?'' |
7347 | ***** A PUT- UP JOB-- OR CHANCE? |
7347 | ***** DID SHE TAKE THE WINK TO HERSELF? |
7347 | ***** HOW GET HIM OUT? |
7347 | ***** HOW MANY SHORT BREATHS? |
7347 | ***** PEGGED OR SEWED? |
7347 | ***** WHAT''S IN A NAME? |
7347 | *****"HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE?" |
7347 | *****"IS THE WORLD GOING TO FOLLOW THAT COMET OFF?" |
7347 | Accordingly one of them asked, indicating the flatboat:"Who owns this?" |
7347 | An enthusiastic friend of the President said to him:"There is not enough left of_ Hood_ to make a dish- rag, is there?" |
7347 | Any instructions in the duties and ethics of doorkeeping?'' |
7347 | As the pleased writer folded up the paper for its envelope, he quickly inquired:"Why, what are you going to do with it now?" |
7347 | At a reception, a gentleman addressed him, saying:"I presume, Mr. President, you have forgotten me?" |
7347 | At last, one man whispered to the boy as he went by:"''Look here, boy, ai n''t that hoss got the splints?'' |
7347 | At the question''Can you build this bridge?'' |
7347 | Bounce, of Chicago? |
7347 | But Lincoln repulsed him gently and whimsically without hurting his feelings, in this way:"''So you want to be doorkeeper to the House, eh?'' |
7347 | But do any of you know of any machine or invention for preventing the escape of_ gas_ from newspaper establishments?" |
7347 | But the point is, what would you have me do for you? |
7347 | But the two gentlemen were unable to answer the natural question:"Who is this little boy?" |
7347 | But, affecting rage, he blurted out:"Oh, he tore my paper, did he? |
7347 | Can you tell me where Abraham Lincoln lives? |
7347 | Did you never hear it?" |
7347 | Do n''t you know?" |
7347 | Do you expect to find them under a sycamore- tree?" |
7347 | Do you live in the city?" |
7347 | Had she a premonition on the fatal eve? |
7347 | Have you ever had any experience of doorkeeping?'' |
7347 | He paused in his occupation and pointed with his long arm to the long rifle, saying:"''Young man, do you see that gun? |
7347 | He sent the"Dictionary of Congress"his autobiography in a single paragraph of fifty words-- as an example(?). |
7347 | I wonder who he is?" |
7347 | If we remain until November, can_ we_ vote?" |
7347 | In an interval when the vociferator had to take breath, he asked quietly:"Excuse me, my friend, are you an Episcopalian?" |
7347 | In case of disaster, would not a retreat be more difficult by your plan than mine?" |
7347 | Is not this quite Lincolnian? |
7347 | It may be supposed that the student of Shakespeare might quote"When shall we three meet again?" |
7347 | It was as follows:''Why is John Tyler like an ass?'' |
7347 | It was truth that the Irishman uttered when he answered the speaker:''Is not one man as good as another?'' |
7347 | Lincoln said on the subject to Judge Beckwith, of Danville, on the eve:"You have seen two men about to fight? |
7347 | Lincoln scanned him a moment, threw out his large hand, and said:"''You''re a pretty tall fellow, are n''t you? |
7347 | Mr. Harlan, who followed the chief, touched the major key:"What shall we do with the rebels?" |
7347 | Next day he said to this gentleman-- Noah Brooks:"I wonder if Miss Dickinson saw me wink at_ you? |
7347 | Now,"finished the adviser,"if this was good for Mitchell, it was all right; but, if it was not, I have to countermand, eh?" |
7347 | Only when the job was completed by this inner support, the new problem rose: how to get the boy out? |
7347 | President?" |
7347 | See_ Was Lincoln a Spiritualist?_ By Mrs. Nettie Colburn Maynard( 1891).] |
7347 | So he hailed her:''Old lady, are them pies sewed or pegged?''" |
7347 | Suppose( they were seeking a name) we call them, the Wide- awakes?" |
7347 | The President said next day:"Did you notice the sun burst? |
7347 | The Virginia( Illinois)_ Enquirer_, March 1, 1879, had the following:"John McNamer( Namara?) |
7347 | The hearer thought this over for a moment, and then pertly said:"Why do n''t''Governor''Chase print some more?" |
7347 | The neighbor said, innocentlike:''William, I guess that there is not much of that dog left to catch anybody''s fowls?'' |
7347 | The question is, Will it be wiser to take it as it is, and help to improve it, or to reject and disperse?... |
7347 | The worthy agriculturist, greatly astonished, exclaimed:"Is that old Abe? |
7347 | Then, what are you going to do?'' |
7347 | They were immediately dispelled, however, by his cheerily crying out:"Is that all? |
7347 | This had not escaped the curious Lincoln; he asked him, as he singled him out:"What is your height?" |
7347 | Through her cries, he reproached her, and concluded:"How could you disobey mother so?" |
7347 | Weed, did you ever hear, in this connection, of the witness in court asked to state his age? |
7347 | Well, judge, you see the papers crowded in there? |
7347 | What impended, what had fallen? |
7347 | What is yours?" |
7347 | What is yours?'' |
7347 | What shall we do? |
7347 | What will you lay on the thing?" |
7347 | What would be done about it?" |
7347 | What would you do with that?--keep your hogs safe with that?" |
7347 | Whatever_ did_ you do?'' |
7347 | Who could help being so under such circumstances?" |
7347 | Who doubts now that it was attempted Breckenridge in his room?" |
7347 | Why ca n''t a committee of this kind occasionally exhibit a grain of common sense? |
7347 | Why, how did they come to bury those_ two_ men in one grave?''"] |
7347 | You and Uncle Jimmy ought to put up with each other as man and his steed put up with one another; see?" |
7347 | _ lean a little more to the North!_ to the South?'' |
7347 | interrupted Bob,"did you not furnish a special for General- President Harrison?" |
7347 | interrupted Lincoln, looking down at the man panting with excitement;"why do n''t you tell us how many short breaths_ you_ drew?" |
7347 | my_ pen_? |
7347 | off?" |
7347 | said the corporal firmly,"but this here cow has a long tail!--ain''t it?" |
7347 | the mayor?" |
7347 | what do you want?" |
53691 | ''Ow the deuce do I know what muck they puts into''em? 53691 Ah Jack, my boy, how are you? |
53691 | All here? |
53691 | And what room has Jack got? |
53691 | And what sort of a country is Langley? |
53691 | And which is the short way? |
53691 | Are you nearly ready, Ned? 53691 Be we to shoe''un like that, I wonder?" |
53691 | Bromley Wood? 53691 Can yer see ought on''em, ould man?" |
53691 | Dang your ugly mug,says Tom to him, as soon as Sir John is out of hearing;"you thought to come the clever over me and t''hounds, did yer? |
53691 | Dang''i m, how did ay get theer? 53691 Did you breed him on purpose?" |
53691 | Fifty- five minutes, were n''t it, Charles? |
53691 | Ger on with yer,he will say to a crowd of gaping rustics;"ger on with yer-- call last Wednesday''s a run? |
53691 | Has he got a white stocking on the near fore? |
53691 | He did not suppose the hounds would follow her, did he? |
53691 | Hear what? |
53691 | Here, take my horse,says he to one of the men; and as Bell comes up he asks:"What is being done?" |
53691 | Here, you fellah, do you hear-- open this gate, will you? |
53691 | Holloa, old man, what have yer got there? 53691 How are you, Dick? |
53691 | How''s that? |
53691 | I ask you, is that the way to welcome your long- lost cousin? 53691 I ask you, what do they know about hunting? |
53691 | I mind when Mr. Arles-- you knows him I''ll be bound? 53691 I suppose you did not happen to see if Mr. Simpson''s fire was all right, Mildred?" |
53691 | Is that your sort of way of doing business? 53691 Lovely day? |
53691 | Mornin'', mayster,says he to old Tom;"whear be you a- going furst?" |
53691 | My darling child, are you hurt? 53691 Not hurt, I hope?" |
53691 | Now I wonder which end t''ould mon will begin at? |
53691 | Now, where the deuce should t''fox a gotten to, I wonder? |
53691 | Oh, that''s it, is it? |
53691 | Oh,I said,"he came from Bell''s, did he? |
53691 | She landed you once, Bevan, did not she? |
53691 | That''s me; what can I do for you? |
53691 | Then what the devil business have you in front of them? 53691 Well, James, have you got one for us to- day?" |
53691 | Well, then, why the devil did not you answer my letter? 53691 Well, what sort of a day have you had?" |
53691 | Well,continued his interlocutor,"did you have a good run?" |
53691 | Well,replies Joe,"what can they do? |
53691 | What are you two a- chattering about? |
53691 | What did I say this morning? 53691 What did you do it for?" |
53691 | What do you say, Colonel? |
53691 | What do you say, Wilson? |
53691 | What''s that thing for? |
53691 | What''s that? |
53691 | What''s up, my lad? |
53691 | Wheer to, Mayster Wilding? |
53691 | Which is the way to Langley, my good man? |
53691 | Which room has Mr. Simpson got, Milly? |
53691 | Who is talking about judging by appearances? |
53691 | Who is that? |
53691 | Who the deuce can have written all that farrago of nonsense? |
53691 | Why, Doctor, who''d have thought of seeing you to- day? 53691 Why, Mayster Hall, wheer an yer been to?" |
53691 | Why, where the deuce have you arrived from? |
53691 | Will you take yourself away from there? |
53691 | Yes; how the deuce did you know, I wonder? |
53691 | ( Quite so, Mr. Story; but what was that small piece of gold for, that found its way out of your pocket into that of Charles the First Whip?) |
53691 | All the time he is asking the sportsman about the day:"What sort of a run? |
53691 | And the field are all-- where? |
53691 | Anybody else say anything? |
53691 | Are they used in the summer to keep the birds from the peas, or what?" |
53691 | As he rides up they greet him with a hearty"Good- morning, Major; lovely day, is n''t it?" |
53691 | Besides, what fox in his senses would face it?" |
53691 | But Jack does not stop a moment, and with an exultant shout of"Come on, gents, what are yer waiting for?" |
53691 | But how are you all? |
53691 | But where is Mrs. Talford? |
53691 | By- the- way, do you know what sort of cattle Mr. Dawson keeps?" |
53691 | By- the- way, how can uncle ever tolerate such a vulgarian as Simpson?" |
53691 | Can that''oss jump? |
53691 | Caterer and Bellman, Pillager and Marksman, never up in time; and then if I gets on a bit, it''s''Where''s them two couple? |
53691 | D''ye suppose my second whip''s come out as a horniment?" |
53691 | Did anyone hear of a man being asked to subscribe to a school when hounds had just found? |
53691 | Did n''t yer, Bill? |
53691 | Did yer ever see such a fanglement?" |
53691 | Did you ever hear such a thing, Boulter?" |
53691 | Did you see Mayster Story, Charles?" |
53691 | Drop it, will yer?" |
53691 | For, as he puts it,"Without them two where would be the''ounds? |
53691 | Gemmen''s''osses first''s what I say-- do''e hear, slow coach?" |
53691 | Have you?" |
53691 | He says, says he:''Why do n''t yer have a pole made? |
53691 | He''s quite right-- business is business; but when it''s over how many of''em would stand a glass,''specially after a bit of a word?" |
53691 | How are they all at The Grange?" |
53691 | How are you?" |
53691 | How can you tell it is a bag fox?" |
53691 | How long did you say?" |
53691 | How much do you ask?" |
53691 | How the deuce could he know all about it?" |
53691 | How the deuce did she get there? |
53691 | However, turning to Mildred, he said:"Miss Vivian-- ah-- I suppose you follow the hounds to- morrow?" |
53691 | I''ve got to go down to the green lane, and then past Mrs. Wilson''s cottage; but how am I to know which is the right cottage-- and how far it is?" |
53691 | In reply to a question of"Where had he been?" |
53691 | Is that young gray horse fit for me to ride? |
53691 | It was the day as young Mayster Bell jumped atop of Melody; but what''s become of him, sir?" |
53691 | Mr. Hall eagerly snaps at the bait and asks for full particulars-- whether they killed? |
53691 | No damage, eh?" |
53691 | No? |
53691 | None the worse for the fall? |
53691 | Now I ask you, can we expect any sport with such a pack as that? |
53691 | Of course he immediately improved(?) |
53691 | See you out, I suppose, on Friday at Fearndale? |
53691 | She''s a dear, is not she? |
53691 | Simpson?" |
53691 | Stiff big fences, or what?" |
53691 | Suppose you''d been hard pressed and knew of a house you could turn into, would n''t you go for it?" |
53691 | Then perhaps someone will point out that he might make a better thing out of cow- doctoring; but his reply will be:"Oh, that''s your opinion, is it? |
53691 | They tell me you are going to be married again and give up hunting; is it true?" |
53691 | This, coupled with the oft- repeated question at the covert- side of"Holloa, Boulter, got his coin yet?" |
53691 | This, however, does not prevent him from entering a full and true(?) |
53691 | What do yer think?" |
53691 | What is it, gentlemen? |
53691 | What on earth do you go and curl yourself up like a fox- terrier on the hearthrug for, and make people do these pantomime tricks over you? |
53691 | What say you, Minstrel?" |
53691 | What should be done?" |
53691 | What the devil''s the use of taking them up the road? |
53691 | Where to, sir?" |
53691 | Where would you go to, you old growler?" |
53691 | Where''s Bill?" |
53691 | Which is my room, uncle? |
53691 | Who, I wondered, was the old gent? |
53691 | Would you believe it? |
53691 | Yer know the works maybe?" |
53691 | a new hat? |
53691 | and how is the pony?" |
53691 | and on Mr. Tyrol confessing his ignorance, after a pause:"Ah, that maks a''nation difference, doan''t it?" |
53691 | and where they was a- going to draw next?" |
53691 | and without the''ounds where would my bloomin''business go to?" |
53691 | ejaculates Tom;"can anyone tell me how gray shirtings are? |
53691 | going a- fishing?" |
53691 | he ejaculates, as two or three hounds appear outside; and, turning to the boy, he asks:"My lad, are you sure you saw a fox?" |
53691 | how the deuce did he get there?" |
53691 | it shows their ignorance; but what more can I want?" |
53691 | where he left the hounds? |
53691 | where they went? |
53691 | who was up? |

38208 | They have opened the door of the aviary----''''And so my birds have flown away?'' |
38208 | Vatrin was so excited that he had forgotten to say''Good morning''or''How do you do?'' |
38208 | Was he dreaming still? |
38208 | Was it not the cook herself who found him-- who took him by force from the heap of sticks behind which he had sought refuge? |
38208 | Was it possible that he had killed them? |
38208 | Was not I there to doctor him?'' |
38208 | Well, then,''exclaimed the orator, after having read this passage,''what more remains to be said? |
38208 | Well?'' |
38208 | What could have happened? |
38208 | What has the rascal been doing now?'' |
38208 | What is that?'' |
38208 | What shall we call the cat?'' |
38208 | What would his master say? |
38208 | When a mutual sympathy had been produced by this means, a conversation something like this would begin:''Have you a good master?'' |
38208 | Where else would he have it?'' |
38208 | Where may he be?'' |
38208 | Where to, gentlemen?'' |
38208 | Why should his brother take the trouble to stand up on his hind legs when there was nobody to laugh and clap him? |
38208 | Will he ever return? |
38208 | Would you mind my putting a few pellets into your brute of a dog? |
38208 | You are trying to beat me, are you? |
38208 | You recollect his coming to see you?'' |
38208 | You think it is he who steals the eggs? |
38208 | You will ask what the change of government had to do with my beasts? |
38208 | You would beat a woman-- and a former artiste to M. Odry, would you? |
38208 | You''re going to cut up rough, are you? |
38208 | Your dictionary never says that the arararanna, otherwise called the blue macaw, produces young at Caen?'' |
38208 | [ Illustration: PRITCHARD AND THE HENS]''You think he would have the wickedness to say_ that_, Michel?'' |
38208 | [ Illustration: THE LION CAUGHT IN THE PIT] The question is sometimes asked, why does the lion roar? |
38208 | [ Illustration:''AND WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE SAW?''] |
38208 | [ Illustration:''IT''S A REGULAR KENNEL'']''Every day, Michel? |

38208 | [ Illustration:''OH, OSCAR, OSCAR LAD, WHAT_ HAVE_ YOU DONE?''] |
38208 | [ Illustration:{ THE AUVERGNAT AND HIS MONKEY}]''Can he do anything else?'' |
38208 | and----?'' |
38208 | did you actually say that?'' |
38208 | do you hear that?'' |
38208 | do you think Pritchard has a bad opinion of me?'' |
38208 | exclaimed Fan,''is this how my orders are obeyed? |
38208 | he has made friends with his rival in the affections of Mademoiselle Desgarcins?'' |
38208 | he roared to Double Mouth,''what are you about, standing there? |
38208 | my fault? |
38208 | not the worst?'' |
38208 | said I,''Portugo has n''t barked yet, has he?'' |
38208 | what are you about?'' |
38208 | where is he off to now?'' |
38208 | where is the beast?'' |
38208 | who has stolen them?'' |
38208 | why, is its chest delicate?'' |
38208 | yes-- but oh, so frightened!--and what made him smart so dreadfully? |
38208 | you do n''t know_ that_, gentlemen?'' |
38208 | you do n''t see a rabbit sitting? |
36969 | A- coming down here a- spiling our country, and a- robbing our hen- roosts? 36969 AIN''T YOU ASHAMED OF YOU''UNS?" |
36969 | And if we were, what would it matter? 36969 And the love of him whose manly courage and devotion won this tribute is the best blessing God ever gave you, is n''t it?" |
36969 | Are you in pain, Captain? |
36969 | Are you married? |
36969 | But I must see him; I ca n''t live without seeing him; I must hire some one to go and take him up; ca n''t you get some one to take him up? 36969 But do they satisfy their hunger?" |
36969 | But what does the doctor say, for I am mighty anxious to go? |
36969 | Did I say all that? |
36969 | Did you writ all that? |
36969 | Had not you all better go home? |
36969 | How can we reach it? |
36969 | How is that,inquired Pat,"are we not friends?" |
36969 | How perfectly ridiculous,do you say? |
36969 | Is this Colonel Prince? |
36969 | Kin you writ a letter? |
36969 | Lee, Lee? |
36969 | May I ask why he is a prisoner? |
36969 | May n''t I wash your face? |
36969 | She? 36969 Tell me the truth, wo n''t you?" |
36969 | Think you that such as these are not deserving the help of those of us who have been more fortunate? 36969 This little paper is your most precious treasure, is n''t it?" |
36969 | Well, madam,said the Federal officer, with bland politeness,"to what do I owe the honor of this visit?" |
36969 | Well, what are you going to do now, John? |
36969 | Well, what''s the trouble, sir? |
36969 | What do you mean, sir? |
36969 | What do you want here? |
36969 | What is that? |
36969 | What is the matter now? |
36969 | What is the nature of those acts? |
36969 | What is your name? |
36969 | What must I do with her? |
36969 | What''s the matter with this meat, madam? 36969 What''s the matter, man?" |
36969 | When did he join it? |
36969 | Where are the women who represented the six hundred thousand valiant soldiers who constituted the grandest army the world has yet known? 36969 Where can I get a little ice?" |
36969 | Where is the nearest ford? |
36969 | Where''s the General? |
36969 | Which way? |
36969 | Who are you-- one of the Yankees? |
36969 | Who are you? |
36969 | Who was Barbara Frietchie? |
36969 | Why did n''t you take some ham last night? |
36969 | Why do you and your troops rush into my house? |
36969 | Why do you not let the nurse cut your nails? |
36969 | Why, father,said I,"who ever heard of paying ten dollars for needles and thread?" |
36969 | Will you come back to- morrow and go now? |
36969 | Will you let me have your hair cut then? 36969 Will you not let me pray for you?" |
36969 | Wouldst thou have me love thee, dearest, With a woman''s proudest heart, Which shall ever hold thee nearest, Shrined in its inmost part? 36969 You do n''t say so?" |
36969 | ''Who sent you with that message to me?'' |
36969 | *** Standing with the principles of''76 behind us, who can deny them that right?" |
36969 | 39?" |
36969 | After being reassured as to his master''s safety, I asked,"Did he have a comfortable night, John?" |
36969 | Again, I demand why you have burned my home? |
36969 | Ai n''t you ashamed of you''uns? |
36969 | Am I not more than repaid by their thanks? |
36969 | And pray, sir, is he your husband or mine?" |
36969 | And she replied:"Did you eat the mutton chops last night?" |
36969 | And then he told me this interesting story:"Ever been to Frederick?" |
36969 | Answer as you must answer before the Searcher of all hearts, why have you added this cruel, wicked deed to your many crimes? |
36969 | Are n''t you ashamed of yourselves? |
36969 | As one of these was rushing from a hot fire to the rear one day, his colonel shouted to him,"What are you running for? |
36969 | Astonished at the calmness with which he seemed to be submitting to what he regarded as inevitable fate, I said to him,"Have you no defence? |
36969 | At last the call of a sentry brought her to stand, with a hoarse"Who goes there?" |
36969 | B. Gordon shouted,"Stop there, Jim; what makes you run?" |
36969 | But of what importance was the fact that I was homeless, houseless and moneyless, in Richmond, the heart of Virginia? |
36969 | But what has been the result of opening it to them? |
36969 | But what was to be done? |
36969 | But where is he buried?" |
36969 | But, Lord, if we let the South go, as Mr. Lincoln says, where will we get our revenues? |
36969 | But, my dear friends, have we not failed in one paramount duty? |
36969 | Can I say,"God forgive you?" |
36969 | Can ancient or modern history show a nobler or more unselfish and patriotic devotion to any cause? |
36969 | Can life have any more terrible antithesis than this? |
36969 | Catching at the suggestion as a revelation of duty, she asked,"And cheerfulness makes better soldiers of the men, does it not?" |
36969 | Could any one lead a more consecrated life? |
36969 | Could it be that Psyche had stirred one of the delicate plumes of her wing and touched that dormant soul? |
36969 | Daniels?" |
36969 | Declare war? |
36969 | Did they think the night too terrible to be out? |
36969 | Do ye think I would come all the way from Ireland to belong to one State when I have a right to belong to the whole of''em?" |
36969 | Do you see that tender vine binding up the shattered tree and hiding its wounds? |
36969 | Frenzied Finance replied in the words of Mr. Lincoln,"If we let the South go, where will we get our revenues?" |
36969 | Have n''t Lee''s soldiers starved many a day? |
36969 | He answered,"Yes, mother; what is it?" |
36969 | He could not do it, but he said,"Ask your mother how much change she wants?" |
36969 | How came these holes in it?" |
36969 | How can this be? |
36969 | How in the world could all those steel wires be bundled and controlled when a woman rode horseback or had to be packed in a buggy or carriage? |
36969 | How on earth can I be calm? |
36969 | I ai n''t got a single nigger that would be so mean as to force himself where he warn''t wanted, and what do we- uns want with you? |
36969 | I ask who that does not wish infamy and disgrace attached to him forever would serve under you? |
36969 | I asked her if she could get bread enough for her children by her work? |
36969 | I called and said,"What''s the matter, Eddie?" |
36969 | I felt, rather than thought it-- but, had I really found her heart? |
36969 | I have come here to inquire whether you have a lad by the name of McCarthy a prisoner?" |
36969 | I laughed and said:"Did you ever meet Barbara Frietchie?" |
36969 | I tould him,''And what have you to say to what you done to our poor fellows?'' |
36969 | I wonder what is best? |
36969 | I, therefore, a helpless woman whom you have cruelly wronged, address you, a Major- General of the United States army, and demand why this was done? |
36969 | If I turned and lost my way entirely, what would become of me on such a night? |
36969 | If one of my gells comes to you, you''ll give her a fair chance to shoot straight, wo n''t you, boys?" |
36969 | If she drew her faded skirt-- ever a black one, in that case-- from the passing blue, was it"treason,"or human nature? |
36969 | In Richmond, Atlanta, Charleston and elsewhere was she bitter and unforgiving? |
36969 | Indeed, why? |
36969 | Instead of taking it out of his vest pocket, father opened his pocket- book and said,"Did you say you wanted ten dollars or ten cents, my boy?" |
36969 | Is it not, then, wonderful that soldiers whose families have suffered such things could be restrained when in a hostile country? |
36969 | Is it possible that you abandoned your comrades and deserted your colors in the presence of the enemy without any reason?" |
36969 | Is n''t it lucky it''s my left hand?" |
36969 | Is not the whole land before thee? |
36969 | Is she one of them Lees?" |
36969 | Is she the daughter of whom you speak?" |
36969 | Kin you gim me sich a thing as a b''iled sweet pur- r- rta- a- a- tu- ur? |
36969 | My health and life are worth less than those of my brothers, and if they give theirs to the cause, why should not I do the same? |
36969 | Oh, God, shall I ever again hear a cheer which bears a man''s whole soul in it? |
36969 | Perceiving by the light of a brilliant moon that at least a half dozen men in uniforms were on the piazza, I asked:"Who is there?" |
36969 | Said one of his neighbors:"Hello, John; the Yankees whipped you, did they?" |
36969 | Shall I write a letter for you? |
36969 | She is in ward G. What shall I do with her?" |
36969 | She knitted and gazed, and at last inquired"who was them ar''soldiers, and whar''was they a- going to?" |
36969 | She must have felt me shudder, for she turned pale as death, and, catching her breath at every word, she said,''Have you come without your furlough? |
36969 | Slowly the dear old lady rose And tottering forward came, And peering dimly through her"specks,"Said,"Honey, what''s your name?" |
36969 | Some ladies ran from a house which happened to stand just in front of his line, and asked him anxiously,"What shall we do, General, what shall we do?" |
36969 | Somebody''s hand hath rested there, Was it a mother''s, soft and white; Or have the lips of a sister fair Been baptized in their waves of light? |
36969 | Springing from the bed, he said:"What is it, my child?" |
36969 | Tell me, have I saved the honor of Mary and Lucy?" |
36969 | The man stepped out, laid his hand on my bridle and said:"Stop, lady, you can go no further; but where are you going?" |
36969 | The young lady shrunk from the muzzle, and said:"How do I know?" |
36969 | Then what? |
36969 | Then why not, as Greeley and Phillips and thousands of Northern patriots urged, why not let these States go? |
36969 | Then why should there be war? |
36969 | There he said to the"farm hands:""Do n''t you know that a gentleman never dines without his coat? |
36969 | They asked me,''What have you in that bag?'' |
36969 | They had no money-- the city had already given its part-- what could be done? |
36969 | Thus the South was the mother of territories, and was it not natural that she should talk of territories and of her rights in the territories? |
36969 | Tom, old fellow, what makes you start? |
36969 | Turning to the prisoner, I asked,"What did you do when you received this letter?" |
36969 | Was I to fail altogether of my mission? |
36969 | Was it for this that you turned me, my young daughter, and little son out upon the world without a shelter? |
36969 | Was it to the Union or to his State? |
36969 | Was she"unreconstructed?" |
36969 | Was the war between the States in 1861 a war in behalf of slavery on the one side and freedom on the other? |
36969 | What could the Southern States do under such an insulting ultimatum from the triumphant North? |
36969 | What did they do? |
36969 | What did we ever do to you''uns that you should come a- killing our brothers and sons? |
36969 | What for do you want us to live with you''uns, you poor white trash? |
36969 | What had Mrs. Scott and her children done? |
36969 | What of the negro? |
36969 | What right have you to expect anything from us?" |
36969 | What shall I do? |
36969 | What should I do? |
36969 | What surgeons in any age or in any war excelled the Confederate surgeons in skill, ingenuity or courage? |
36969 | What was my offence? |
36969 | What was the ground issue which held the Northern States so desperately on their crusade against the South? |
36969 | What was the main spring of the Free Soil crusade? |
36969 | What was working in that poor mind? |
36969 | When the war is over, where shall we find our old churches, where her noble homesteads, scenes of domestic comfort and generous hospitality? |
36969 | Where the little girls who carded and spun and knitted to help their mothers clothe the naked soldiers? |
36969 | Where the women who with tireless energy ministered night and day to the sick and wounded and spoke words of hope to the dying? |
36969 | Where the young girls who stood by the wayside to feed the hungry and quench the thirst of the men on their long and weary marches? |
36969 | Where was the union? |
36969 | Who begrudges a moment for the record of her patriotic services and unremitting toil? |
36969 | Who can wonder that the heads of these poor ignorant people were turned and their moral natures poisoned? |
36969 | Who does not see in her a glorious lesson? |
36969 | Who was at the head of the domestic establishment? |
36969 | Who was to blame for it all? |
36969 | Who was to look after the sick when, as frequently happened, the physician was miles away? |
36969 | Who was to superintend and see to all this if not a woman? |
36969 | Who were the women of 1861? |
36969 | Who would dare to wipe out to- day a State''s individuality? |
36969 | Who, indeed, if not the mistress? |
36969 | Who? |
36969 | Why do I say this? |
36969 | Why had I fainted? |
36969 | Why not? |
36969 | Why should they suffer? |
36969 | Why was it that I could not meet one of them? |
36969 | Would you mind seeing if he is all right?" |
36969 | and who asked your permission, sir? |
36969 | and"Where are you from?" |
36969 | do you call this mob of retreating cowards an army? |
36969 | how was it?" |
36969 | if you are soldiers, why do n''t you stand and fight the savage wolves that are coming upon us defenceless women and children?" |
36969 | oh, God!-how will- they endure it?" |
23733 | And George Ridenour? |
23733 | And where did you pour it, sir? |
23733 | Any other name? |
23733 | Any what? |
23733 | Are they prisoners? |
23733 | Are you and your folks for the Union? |
23733 | But, General, how shall I get out of camp? 23733 By----, madam, you call them pies, do you? |
23733 | Can I do any thing for you? |
23733 | Can I say or do any thing for you, anywheres? |
23733 | Colonel,said he, as the tears rolled down his cheeks;"Colonel, what shall I do?" |
23733 | Did they fight long upon your ground? |
23733 | Do you ever regret that you came, when you lie here suffering so much? |
23733 | Do you know who you are talking to, sir? 23733 Do you mean to tell me,"said I,"that you have negro blood in your veins?" |
23733 | Does it? |
23733 | For what? |
23733 | Hallo, mister, are you the captain of these ridgements around here? 23733 Have you any other name?" |
23733 | Have you held an inspection of your company at any time since the battle of Arkansas Post, sir? |
23733 | How am I to know you are over age? |
23733 | How dare you disobey me? 23733 How far is it, madam?" |
23733 | How old_ are_ you? |
23733 | How so, Captain? 23733 How''s that?" |
23733 | If,said he,"there are really spirits, why can they not prove it, by knocking this candlestick from my hand?" |
23733 | In what year did you make your appearance on this mundane sphere? |
23733 | Is it m- m- e? |
23733 | Is it the Adjutant? |
23733 | Is it the Colonel? |
23733 | Is it the Quarter- master? |
23733 | Is it the Surgeon? |
23733 | Is it the spirit of a deceased relative? |
23733 | Is n''t that Ned Shoemaker? |
23733 | Is your dwellin''in de tents of wickedness? 23733 Jimmy,"said he,"you know I gave them to Cradle, and told him to sew up the small holes; and what do you think he has done? |
23733 | Look- a- hear,continued the old woman;"this ere soger wants to know if you be for Union?" |
23733 | Mine? |
23733 | My tex''_ requires_ ob you,''_ Whar do you lib?_''Is you strollin''round, wid no hope of de future freedom starrin''you in de face? |
23733 | My tex''_ requires_ ob you,''_ Whar do you lib?_''Is you strollin''round, wid no hope of de future freedom starrin''you in de face? |
23733 | No doubt you are both, John; yet how came you to go to the war, if you felt so? 23733 Now who told you that?" |
23733 | Now, Amy, smartly after me;( You''re sure, dear, it wo n''t bore you?) 23733 Old boy, how are you?" |
23733 | Shall I write to your mother now? |
23733 | Sure, sir,said he;"are you the Col- o- nel of this post? |
23733 | The Adjutant''s? |
23733 | The country is a momentous question,---- Here I ventured to inquire of him as to whom he was addressing his conversation? |
23733 | Them new stockings of yours is breech- loading, ai nt they, Billy? |
23733 | Then, G----d d----n you, sir, how dare you have the impudence to come within my lines? |
23733 | Then, who the d----l are you calling gentlemen? |
23733 | Wal, I know I orto; but, Colonel, ca n''t you do something for me? 23733 Was he killed in the battle?" |
23733 | Was n''t you afraid you''d be killed? |
23733 | Well, Corporal,continued he,"I suppose that is some of the''poured- out''in your canteen, eh?" |
23733 | Well, Jim, what will_ you_ do? |
23733 | Well, by----, what are they here for? |
23733 | Well, sur; plaise to tell me what I must do? |
23733 | Well, you have n''t any sugar? |
23733 | Well,said I,"do n''t he do a large share of it?" |
23733 | Were you there during the fight? |
23733 | Whar did you come from? 23733 Wharfor is dis state ob society, after all de white folks am a doin for you? |
23733 | What are you going to do, you bad woman''s boy? |
23733 | What became,said I,"of Olly Rockenfield?" |
23733 | What did you do when they commenced firing? |
23733 | What do the people say this war is about? |
23733 | What do you call him Cradle for? |
23733 | What is it, Billy? |
23733 | What paper would you choose? |
23733 | What regiment do you belong to? |
23733 | What war? |
23733 | What will become of all of us women? |
23733 | What would_ you_ call him? 23733 When were you born?" |
23733 | When were you forty- five? |
23733 | Where are you soldiers going to? |
23733 | Where do you live? |
23733 | Where was your husband? |
23733 | Who lived in that house? |
23733 | Who''s that man with''Secesh''clothes? |
23733 | Whose relative is it? 23733 Why ca n''t they?" |
23733 | Why did n''t you leave when you found there was going to be a fight? |
23733 | Why did n''t you stop them? |
23733 | Why, Miss Delilah, do you have skunks out here? |
23733 | Why, gracious, what''s them? |
23733 | Why, sissy, what makes you hate Yankees? |
23733 | Why,said the Major,"you do n''t think you will ever be able to walk all that distance, do you?" |
23733 | Will you swear it? |
23733 | You do n''t mean he must die, Doctor? |
23733 | You must have been pretty well scared; were you not? |
23733 | You poured it out, did you? |
23733 | You thought you''d let them rest awhile? 23733 ''How?'' 23733 *****My young colored friend,"said a benevolent chaplain to a contraband,"can you read?" |
23733 | A few nights since, as I was about retiring beneath the umbrageous shade of a lovely maple, a voice from above shouted,"Is''Alf''here?" |
23733 | A portion of the 2d Kentucky was on guard, and as the General rode up he met the stern"Halt"of the sentinel, and the usual"Who comes there?" |
23733 | ARE YOU THE COL- O- NEL OF THIS POST? |
23733 | And how are yees dis mornin''?" |
23733 | And then we do nt enjoy a walk Since all the bows have gone; For what the good to us plain talk If we must trip alone? |
23733 | And told us how to face and wheel, Or charge ahead with pointed steel, While cannon thundered, peal on peal? |
23733 | And what be sogers doin''on here?" |
23733 | And who,"wha hae wi''Wallace"fed, On pork and beans and army bread, Will e''er forget, when he is dead, Lew Wallace? |
23733 | And why should any thing be sacred in this"section,"where traitors have been fostered, and where every vote cast was for secession? |
23733 | Another negro, too old to take, spoke up and said:"What was dat de old man Kidd told you?" |

5407 | After a long fit of musing, the Bishop turned to the chaplain, and asked the question whether nations might not go mad, as well as individuals? |
5407 | And does not Revelation( which our author holds in so deep reverence) teach that man was the last and noblest of the handiworks of the Creator? |
5407 | And if all this be most sober truth, what is there to except this joyful hope from that law to which, in all other deep joys, our minds are subject? |
5407 | And if nature seems inert, is not the rational conclusion that it is so? |
5407 | And now( to speak of less grave matters) when all I had to say about Growing Old seems very poor, do I see it rightly? |

5407 | And who shall reckon up the brains which this social calamity has driven into disease, or the early paralytic shocks which it has brought on? |
5407 | And why may not the highest of all hopes and joys possess the same all- pervading influence? |
5407 | Any more: any more? |

5407 | But by this time we can imagine our readers asking with some impatience, what is the Water Cure? |
5407 | But does not-- what every being likes depend on what it is? |
5407 | But is man at rest in space? |

5407 | Did you not feel somewhat afraid? |
5407 | Did you not see what a chill fell upon him: how stupified he seemed: in short, how much disappointed he was? |
5407 | Do I see it as my reader would always have seen it? |
5407 | Do n''t you all sometimes feel something like that? |
5407 | Do n''t you remember, my friend, how short a time that lonely meal lasted, and how very far from jovial the feast was? |
5407 | Do n''t you see the analogy I mean to trace? |

5407 | Do you not feel, my friend of even five- and- thirty, that there is music yet in the mention of summer days? |
5407 | Do you think, O blue- eyed banditti, Because you have scaled the wall, Such an old moustache as I am Is not a match for you all? |
5407 | Does it ever come across you, my friend, with something of a start, that things can not always go on in your lot as they are going now? |
5407 | Does natural death appear in utter helplessness and powerlessness? |
5407 | Does not a sudden thought sometimes flash upon you, a hasty, vivid glimpse, of what you will be long hereafter, if you are spared in this world? |
5407 | Does ordinary death render a man insensible to the presence of material things? |
5407 | Eh Robin, is this you? |
5407 | First: Why must every phenomenon be felt as inert? |
5407 | Friends, who have held like stations in life, have you not felt, now and then, a little waking up of old ideas and aspirations? |
5407 | Has natural death its essence in the entire separation it makes between dead and living? |
5407 | Has not many a young girl felt, like Cato, a''secret dread and inward horror''lest the pic- nic day should be rainy? |
5407 | Have we, if our religion is real, no anticipation of happiness in the glorious future? |
5407 | Have you ever read the Life of Mansie Wauch, Tailor in Dalkeith, by that pleasing poet and most amiable man, the late David Macbeth Moir? |
5407 | Have you never felt it? |
5407 | Have you never seen it? |
5407 | Have you not wondered at the tenacity of material life, and at the desperate grasp with which even the most wretched cling to it? |
5407 | Have you not, my philosophic friend, had your donkey? |
5407 | He will just be a common dog; and who that has reached your years cares for that? |
5407 | Here are the two things, Man and Nature; with which thing does the inertness lie? |
5407 | Here is the first-- Do n''t you know, my reader, that it is natural to think very bitterly of the misconduct which affects yourself? |
5407 | His race, his form, his name almost, unknown? |
5407 | How could that poor negro weigh the arguments on either side, and be sure that the blessed Faith, which was then his only support, was true? |
5407 | How does it affect his appetite? |
5407 | How does the notion of inertness come at all, then? |
5407 | How shall dissolution take place with due respect to the dead, and with least harm to the health and the feelings of the living? |
5407 | How should disappointment be met? |
5407 | I ask, is it certain that in all cases the second thought is the best;--is the right thought, as well as the calmest thought? |
5407 | If the professional man spends all he earns, what remains when the supply is cut off; when the toiling head and hand can toil no more? |
5407 | If this be the life of man, what is his death? |
5407 | If you had to appoint a postman, would you choose a man because he had no legs? |
5407 | Is corruption less corruption, in man''s view, because worms like it? |
5407 | Is damnation less damnation, in God''s view, because men like it? |
5407 | Is it reasonable to think that he did so in a fashion so blundering or so deceitful that we can only discern it wrong? |
5407 | Is not that just what millions of things actually do? |
5407 | Is not the mind unsoundly sensitive that finds an offence in a request like that? |
5407 | Is not this disappointment ft It everywhere? |
5407 | Is not, man( to say the least) one of the works of God? |
5407 | Is sin to be taken from men, as Eve was from Adam, by casting them into a deep slumber? |
5407 | Is the alternative worth fighting about? |
5407 | Is there no''rest that remaineth for the people of God,''no home and loving heart awaiting us when the toils of our hurried day of life are ended? |
5407 | It must be true, or how could he live?'' |
5407 | Marvel ye at such last words? |
5407 | May we not think upon all this( not dogmatically) in some such fashion as this? |
5407 | Might we not, if we had truly accepted the words of Scripture, have anticipated that it should be so? |
5407 | Mr. Squeers, in his reply, no doubt stated the law of the case: If a man chooses to call his house an island, what is to hinder him? |
5407 | No doubt we are dead: when shall we be quickened to a better life? |
5407 | No doubt, it is wise advice; but how to do all that? |
5407 | Not read it? |
5407 | Now, my friend, have you read Mr. Dickens''story of Martin Chuzzlewit? |
5407 | Now, shall I hate him? |
5407 | Now, was there ever so honest a biographer? |
5407 | Of course the figure is a woman; and the paragraph winds up with the following passage:-- Shall we go to her? |
5407 | Or has it faded into falsehood, as well as into distance and dimness? |
5407 | Or shall it tend to make him underrate himself, and allow inferior men of superior impudence to take the wall of him? |
5407 | Perhaps they have gone to Scotland? |
5407 | Pray go on, gentlemen; and have you, ladies, nothing to say against the wise man of the world that I have depicted? |
5407 | Secondly: Wherefore should we conclude that the phenomenon differs essentially from the fact? |
5407 | Shall Egypt lend out her ancients unto chirurgeons and apothecaries, and Cheops and Psammeticus be weighed unto us for drugs? |
5407 | Shall it lead him to fancy himself a man of very great importance? |
5407 | Shall we eat of Chamnes and Amasis in electuaries and pills, and be cured by cannibal mixtures? |
5407 | Should not I make him howl? |
5407 | Should not he taste the knout? |
5407 | Six times a day would they be expected to say promiscuously to any intelligent friend or stranger,''Have you read the Recreations of a Country Parson? |
5407 | So there we are placed on an equal footing; and what progress has been made in the argument of the question in debate? |
5407 | Taking it, then, as admitted, that the body must return to the dust from whence it was taken, the next question is, How? |
5407 | That harness-- how will you replace it? |
5407 | The friend looked somewhat disconcerted, and said,''Is it absolutely necessary that I should give the Lord''s Prayer?'' |
5407 | The question arises, whether the sorrows of the old or the young are the most acute? |
5407 | The question to be considered is, what is the best way to dispose of the mortal part of man when the soul has left it? |
5407 | The question you have to consider is, What ought your conduct to be towards a wrong- doer? |
5407 | There is that old dog: you Lave had him for many years; he is growing stiff and frail; what arc you to do when he dies? |
5407 | These old friends will die, you think; who will take their place? |
5407 | Thirdly: Why can not''inertness, as being absolute inaction, belong to that which truly is?'' |
5407 | To what is it all tending? |
5407 | Very likely he wants the money; so did the burglar: but is that any reason why you should give it to him? |
5407 | Was it not a curious mode of life? |
5407 | Was not I extremely anxious to catch the express train yesterday, and did not I miss it? |
5407 | We have heard it said that Macready never produced a greater effect than by the very simple words''Who said that?'' |
5407 | We naturally inquire of the first policeman we meet, What is the matter with Glasgow,--has anything dreadful happened? |
5407 | Well, was not the feeling a strange one? |
5407 | What can be cosier than the warm environment of sheet and blanket which encircles you in your snug bed? |
5407 | What do you care for it? |
5407 | What does it mean? |
5407 | What enjoyment of the summer days has the harassed suitor, waiting in nervous anxiety for the judgment or the verdict which may be his ruin? |

5407 | What might that time not do? |
5407 | What more do we want to make us truly man? |
5407 | What more fitting subject for a July Sunday than the teachings of the beautiful season which was passing over? |
5407 | What more magnanimous, you think, than to do the opposite of the wrong thing? |
5407 | What right had he to call one of the most admirable men in Britain''this unjust and unrighteous judge?'' |

5407 | What right had he to speak of Mr. Justice Coleridge as a''stony- hearted man?'' |
5407 | What said Samuel Johnson when Garrick showed him his grand house? |
5407 | What shall be said as to the effect which a solitary life will produce upon a man''s estimate of himself? |
5407 | What shall we call this lacking thing-- this one thing lacking whose absence is felt in every fibre of our being? |
5407 | What should he do? |
5407 | What sort of men are the Glasgow merchants? |
5407 | What talk concerning summer skies is like the sapphire radiance, so distant and pure, looking in through the church windows? |
5407 | What visions of earthly bliss can ever, if our Christian faith be not a form, compare with''the glory soon to be revealed?'' |

5407 | What would the jury think if told that he will never get a penny of it? |
5407 | When I look back, and see Ailsa as a cloud, is it because it is a cloud and nothing more? |
5407 | When I look back, and see my thoughts as trash, is it because they are trash and no better? |
5407 | When I told you, a long time ago, that this book taught that man is dead and nature living, was this what the words conveyed to you? |
5407 | When will people see its silliness? |
5407 | When will this end? |
5407 | Where did we get the ideas of life and activity, if not from phenomena? |
5407 | Where have they gone? |
5407 | Where shall we discover such a one? |
5407 | Which is the natural way of speaking: to say that the man sees the tree, or that the tree shows itself to the man? |
5407 | Which of these has made best progress towards the end of being a good and efficient preacher? |
5407 | Who does not know this? |
5407 | Who shall say that any one of the successive wants the man has felt is more fanciful, less real, than any other? |
5407 | Who shall say that either disappointed man felt less bitterness and weariness of heart than the other? |
5407 | Who shall say that in one case out of every two, relative success is in proportion to relative merit? |
5407 | Who will believe that Mr. Justice Coleridge is distinguished for his''cold heart and shallow understanding?'' |
5407 | Why are we natural everywhere but in the pulpit? |
5407 | Why are we to depreciate the dweller that we may magnify the dwelling- place? |
5407 | Why believe that we are gratuitously and needlessly deluded? |
5407 | Why call in the aid of paralysis to piety? |
5407 | Why can not a thing exist without doing anything? |
5407 | Why does he put it for the time out of sight? |
5407 | Why does that incomparable monthly act blisteringly upon the writer''s mind? |
5407 | Why is it that Eclipse is first and the rest nowhere, while the legs and wind of Eclipse are no whit better than the legs and wind of all the rest? |
5407 | Why is it that failure in attaining ambitious ends is so painful? |
5407 | Why must a''phenomenon be inert because it is a phenomenon?'' |
5407 | Why on earth not do so? |
5407 | Why on earth should we take to burning the dead? |
5407 | Why this holoplexia on sacred occasions only? |
5407 | Why, I ask again, are we to cry down man for the sake of crying up nature? |
5407 | Why, therefore, should not the secret of nature''s invariableness be, not passiveness, but rightness?'' |
5407 | Wonder ye that one, whose spirit is just entering the separate state, should have this care for the body which he is about to leave to the worms? |
5407 | Would it not have appeared to us a natural result of the study of nature to prove man dead? |
5407 | You see them shabby, and early anxious: can that be the little boy''s rosy face, now so pale and thin? |
5407 | and did not I even then feel a strange pain in the fear that very likely it might? |
5407 | and do n''t you remember how for days you felt haunted by a sort of nightmare that there was what you would be, if you lived so long? |
5407 | but will all this give him his fortune back again? |
5407 | no monument, inscription, stone? |
16349 | ''Oh, you are a runaway foremast hand are you? 16349 ''What on airth do you mean by saying"until you time is out?" |
16349 | A kangaroo, eh? 16349 A nice navigator you are, ai n''t you, Spiller? |
16349 | Am I my brother''s keeper? |
16349 | And did n''t the doctor say I''d be dead before twelve this day? |
16349 | And what sort of a mate-- husband, I mean-- have you got? |
16349 | And where are you living now, Maggie? |
16349 | And you bought a wedding ring? |
16349 | But how can I help it? |
16349 | But if you are caught, Joshua, what then? |
16349 | But, Davy,asked Jack,"where is the port and the shipping, and where are all the settlers? |
16349 | But, Jack, what have you been doing since I met you the year before last? 16349 Ca n''t you scratch it out, then?" |
16349 | Captain,he said,"what has become of the new manager?" |
16349 | Did n''t I show you de black man just now, Miss Sheppard, when he was going to de lake? 16349 Did na ye hear a gunshot just now?" |
16349 | Did you tell the police about''em? |
16349 | Do n''t you see you are going to be drowned? |
16349 | Do you know him? |
16349 | Do you know the names of any of the stars in this part of the roof? |
16349 | Do you know the nature of an oath? |
16349 | Do you mean to insinivate that I took''em? 16349 Do you take me for a blooming fool, Parson? |
16349 | Does she ever throw you? |
16349 | Have you a license? |
16349 | Have you any questions to put to this witness? |
16349 | Have you bought that horse, Mister? |
16349 | Have you ever kept school before? |
16349 | Help it? 16349 How does it happen that Mr. Sellars has not come over from Dresden?" |
16349 | I see, Bob, you meant well, did n''t you? 16349 I was to say nothing, indeed, was I? |
16349 | Is anything the matter? 16349 Is it to cook my dog Watch you mean?" |
16349 | Is that long ago? |
16349 | Know him? 16349 Know ye not that lovely river? |
16349 | Know ye, is it? 16349 Long ago? |
16349 | Maybe you''d like to mutiny, would n''t you? |
16349 | No, what does he say? |
16349 | Oh, I dare say you were a great man at home, were n''t you? |
16349 | Oh, Nosey,she said,"what are you doing to poor Baldy? |
16349 | Oh, it looks too like the Catholics, do n''t you see? 16349 The question is a perfectly fair one, Mr. Armstrong,"said the Judge: and turning to the witness he repeated:"Do you know the nature of an oath?" |
16349 | Three men who want to kill you, eh? 16349 Well, Baldy,"he said,"and what did you hear? |
16349 | Well, Tommy, what is the matter? |
16349 | Well,asked Gleeson,"is anything the matter?" |
16349 | What about the mulatto? 16349 What happened to the clock?" |
16349 | What is his age? |
16349 | What kind of timber do you want? |
16349 | What made you leave Ireland, Jack? |
16349 | What the----should I know about your sheep? |
16349 | What was the biggest battle you ever were in? |
16349 | Where have you been all this time? |
16349 | Where''s the Sheriff? |
16349 | Who are you? |
16349 | Who is gone? |
16349 | Who owns this building? |
16349 | Whose planks are they? |
16349 | Why do n''t you answer the question? |
16349 | Why the blazes do n''t you get up and come out of this rat- hole? |
16349 | Why, Maggie, you do n''t mean to say you have got a mate? |
16349 | Why, Maggie,said Philip,"what on earth is the matter with you?" |
16349 | Why, what can I do? 16349 Wo n''t Mr. Cunningham go after the men?" |
16349 | Would you have any objection? 16349 You did not mean anything about Baldy, I suppose, did you, now?" |
16349 | You do n''t know me, Mat? |
16349 | You say you gave Cecily some money, a horse, saddle, and bridle? |
16349 | A tall stranger came near looked at the group, and said:"My good man, what in thunder are you crying for?" |
16349 | After recovering the power of speech, his first question was,"How is it possible that any man could ever consent to live in a hole like this?" |
16349 | Ai n''t he pale? |
16349 | Ai n''t you got any trade to work at?" |
16349 | Ai n''t your time your own?'' |
16349 | And how am I to get it if I do n''t take it myself? |
16349 | And how could a prayer ever reach heaven in time to be of any use to him, when he could not make it heard outside the deck- house? |
16349 | And is it to hang me now you want to pay me back for the trouble I took for you and all the misery I suffered these long years? |
16349 | And what call had I to say nothing? |
16349 | And who is to blame but your own self for being in this place at all? |
16349 | And who would like to live here for efer a thousand miles from decent neebors? |
16349 | And will the Lord of the Vineyard commend it? |
16349 | Any news to- day?" |
16349 | Are the aboriginals amenable to British law? |
16349 | Are ye runaway Government men? |
16349 | Are you going to stand there all day, and watch me being flogged to death for nothing?" |
16349 | Are you sure it was a kangaroo?" |
16349 | Are you, indeed? |
16349 | As soon as he saw Nosey he exclaimed,"Hello, Nosey, is that you?" |
16349 | At last he said:"''I suppose you know what I mean, Miss Edgeworth?'' |
16349 | At last, in his extreme agony, the cook made a piteous appeal to the seamen:[ ILLUSTRATION 2]"Mates, are you men? |
16349 | Barlow?" |
16349 | Barney lived in Lockport, and in an audible whisper said to us:"Ai n''t he getting on finely? |
16349 | Before leaving the court, he turned to the judge and said,"You hang me this time?" |
16349 | Can as much be said of any year since? |
16349 | Could I help you to look for it?" |
16349 | Curious, is n''t it?" |
16349 | Cuts me dead, do n''t he? |
16349 | Did he believe in or hope for a heaven? |
16349 | Did he ever think of anything-- of his past life, or of his future lot? |
16349 | Did n''t you hear about him and Priscilla?" |
16349 | Did you find out who took''em?" |
16349 | Did you never try ashes? |
16349 | Did you say a word to me until you finished your bloody work? |
16349 | Did you start a station there for Imlay?" |
16349 | Do n''t you see the blacks after you?" |
16349 | Do you expect me to believe that anybody among the crowd there would murder you in broad daylight? |
16349 | Do you know where you are now?" |
16349 | Do you think they are swans?" |
16349 | Do you think you could find him?" |
16349 | Eh?" |
16349 | For what purpose? |
16349 | Had they committed mutiny and murder, or only justifiable homicide? |
16349 | Harrigan?" |
16349 | Has the mulatto a whole soul, half a soul, or no soul at all?" |
16349 | He gazed at the river, which was flowing towards the mountains, and said:"What for stupid yallock* yan along a bulga**?" |
16349 | He has been peeling your neck pretty bad, ai n''t he? |
16349 | He pitied her, and said:"My good woman, have you lost anything? |
16349 | He pointed them out to Campbell, and said:"What kind of birds are they? |
16349 | He said:"Is Dr. Ignatius at home?" |
16349 | He said:"Now, Jack, what are you going to do with that knife?" |
16349 | He said:"Oh, is that you, Pilot? |
16349 | He said:"Ve gates, schoolmeister? |
16349 | He said:"Where''s that Britisher? |
16349 | He said:"You as good as any other man, are you? |
16349 | He said:"You want a place to camp on, do n''t you?" |
16349 | He said:''Who are you, where from, and whither bound?'' |
16349 | He slowly repeated:"Nancy Toomey has been calling me a carroty- headed crawler, has she?" |
16349 | He stayed with us all the time, and when we had eaten, said:"''Well, have you had a good breakfast?'' |
16349 | He was, indeed, very vain and flighty, sidling along his perch and saying:"Sweet pretty Joey, who are you, who are you? |
16349 | Her mother would be certain to miss the watch, and what was she to do with it? |
16349 | Here, Mr. Campbell, would n''t you like to take a roast egg or two for breakfast? |
16349 | How are you getting along?" |
16349 | How could he betray Jemima, his future partner in life? |
16349 | Hugh Boyle held out the bottle, and said,''Here, Mr. McLaggan, would n''t you like a nip yourself?'' |
16349 | I asked him what he would like, a drink of water or a cup of tea? |
16349 | I said dere''s de blackfellow, and he''s got papa''s lowsers on, did n''t I now?" |
16349 | I said:"''I guess, Jonathan, this little kid is about the same age as your youngest boy in Boston, ai n''t he?'' |
16349 | I say, Nosey, you do n''t happen to have seen any dingoes or blacks about here lately?" |
16349 | I suppose you are an honest man; you look like it anyway, and you would not want to see me murdered, now, would you?" |
16349 | I suppose you were asleep, eh? |
16349 | I would like to know what right the Government, or anybody else, has to ask me for twenty pounds for putting up a hut on this sandbank? |
16349 | Ignatius?" |
16349 | Is it a snake you are killing?" |
16349 | Is that it? |
16349 | Is that what you ask? |
16349 | It has been asked, when did life first appear on the earth? |
16349 | Jack said:"Do you see that big fellow there? |
16349 | Know ye not that smiling river? |
16349 | Man alive, do n''t you know the villain wants to murder me?" |
16349 | Mat said:"Hello, you coves, is it robbing my garden ye are?" |
16349 | Mr. Tyers, the commissioner? |
16349 | Neddy said one night:"Do n''t you think, Joshua, this game of yours is rather dangerous? |
16349 | Nosey eyed him with unusual savagery, and said:"Now did n''t I tell you to say no more about your blasted sheep, or I''d see you for it? |
16349 | Now I put it to you, Neddy, as an honest and sensible man, Am I to get no pay for that seven years''work? |
16349 | Now what did you mean? |
16349 | Or is it true that in our inmost souls we wanted them to die, that we might possess their land in peace? |
16349 | Philip said:"Not very lucky to- day, mate?" |
16349 | Philip went up to the Boozer and said:"Well, my friend, what do you want here?" |
16349 | Sambo paused, looked up to the gum tree, and said,"By golly, who''s dere?" |
16349 | Shackson?" |
16349 | She said:"You see dose two ducks, Miss Sheppard?" |
16349 | So I crossed over and met him, and went close up to him and said,''Well, what have you to say for yoursel''now?'' |
16349 | So ye never went to Gippsland at all?" |
16349 | Tell me now, did I murder poor Baldy or did you? |
16349 | The bees or other insects usually take the dust from one flower to the other, but I suppose there are no bees about here just now?" |
16349 | The blacks came nearer, and one of them said,"Gib fig tobacker, mate?" |
16349 | The great question for statesmen now is,"What is to be done for the relief of the masses?" |
16349 | The question is rather, when did the inanimate first appear? |
16349 | The wife said:"What are we boun''to do now, Samiul? |
16349 | Then she said to Mrs. Martin:"Ai n''t it a pity that so respectable a young man should be tramping through the bush like a pedlar with a pack?" |
16349 | Then turning to Cowderoy, he said:"Do you know the nature of an oath?" |
16349 | They look curious, do n''t they? |
16349 | This woke up Bunbury, who sang out:"What''s the matter, Ruffles? |
16349 | To see the isolated and miserable domiciles you occupy and the hard fare on which you subsist? |
16349 | Was I to stand here all day and say never a word for myself until they were ready to hang me? |
16349 | Was it not you who struck him down with the axe without saying as much as''by your leave,''either to me or to him? |
16349 | Was n''t I always on the watch for you every evening looking for you, and the chop on the fire, and the hot tea, and everything comfortable? |
16349 | We found two women cooking supper in the kitchen, and Jonathan said to the younger one,''Is the old man at home?'' |
16349 | Well, about those buoys, eh? |
16349 | Were you ever in Preston?" |
16349 | What do you say, Ned? |
16349 | What do you say, mates? |
16349 | What do you think about it, Nosey?" |
16349 | What doom could they expect but that of damnation and eternal death? |
16349 | What good could it do you? |
16349 | What has the Government done for me or anybody else in Gippsland? |
16349 | What has the poor fellow done to you, I''d like to know? |
16349 | What have you to say to that charge?" |
16349 | What makes you ask?" |
16349 | What of that? |
16349 | What shall I do?" |
16349 | What was to be done with the prisoner? |
16349 | What will my friends of the club in London say, when they hear of it, but that the service is going to the dogs?" |
16349 | What with Jack, and what with herself? |
16349 | What wrong have I done?" |
16349 | What''s all that noise about?" |
16349 | Whatever am I to do? |
16349 | Wheer are me and the childer to go in this miserable lookin''place?" |
16349 | When he went on board he spoke to Ruffles, master of the schooner, and said:"Is the harbour- master aboard? |
16349 | When she returned, Nosey said, in a hoarse whisper:"Is he gan yet?" |
16349 | When the wine has been drawn off from the lees, and time has matured it, of what kind will it be? |
16349 | Where is the sense of that, I''d like to know? |
16349 | Which way shall we go? |
16349 | Who are the men in the boat down the channel?" |
16349 | Who are you? |
16349 | Who are you? |
16349 | Who are you? |
16349 | Who is that cove with the spyglass?" |
16349 | Who''s afeered? |
16349 | Why are you here? |
16349 | Why did n''t you leave me alone when I had the fine holt of him?" |
16349 | Why do n''t you like them?" |
16349 | Why do n''t you parsons make money by your eddication if it''s any good, instead of goin''round beggin''? |
16349 | Why not transport all convicts, separate the chaff from the wheat, and purge out the old leaven? |
16349 | You are a gentleman; you have done yourself proud, and we are thankful, ai n''t we, Jack? |
16349 | You can box it and make a bee- line for Western Port, ca n''t you? |
16349 | You eat me? |
16349 | You may be found out some day by an unlucky chance, and then what will you do?" |
16349 | You''ve done your time once, Nosey, and how would you like to do it again? |
16349 | he said,"and what are you doing here, and where did you come from?" |
16349 | is that you?" |
16349 | or had he any fear of hell and eternal punishment? |
16349 | who are you? |
16349 | you were sent out, were you? |
16349 | you''d like to know who does it, would you? |
16349 | your name is Peter, is n''t it? |
58781 | ''And you have since decided for them?'' 58781 ''Are you a head soldier?'' |
58781 | ''Better than the Great Father?'' 58781 ''But you fought?'' |
58781 | ''Could not your people, whom you love so well, get on with the Americans?'' 58781 ''Do you expect to live here by hunting? |
58781 | ''Do you really think, do your people believe that it is wise to reject the proffers that have been made to you by the United States Commissioners? 58781 ''Have you an implacable enmity to the Americans? |
58781 | ''How long do you think the buffaloes will last?'' 58781 ''If not, are any part of your people disposed to take up agriculture? |
58781 | ''Is your mother living?'' 58781 ''Of the Sioux?'' |
58781 | ''Of what tribe are you?'' 58781 ''What are you?'' |
58781 | ''What does he mean?'' 58781 ''What is your feeling toward the Americans now?'' |
58781 | ''What was he then?'' 58781 ''What will they do, then?'' |
58781 | ''What, then, makes the warriors of your camp, the great chiefs who are here along with you, look up to you so? 58781 ''Who was your father?'' |
58781 | ''Why?'' 58781 ''You are an Indian?'' |
58781 | ''You do not love the Americans?'' 58781 ''You say you are no chief?'' |
58781 | After the introduction was over, and the object of their invitation stated, Red Jacket turned to me familiarly and asked:''What are you? 58781 Ah,"said Red Jacket thoughtfully,"is that it? |
58781 | All want to see the poor Indians? 58781 And all these have come on a friendly visit, too?" |
58781 | And do you allow your children to make sport of their chief? |
58781 | And pray what are they? |
58781 | And the deer? |
58781 | And the tree? |
58781 | And what did fate have in store for you? |
58781 | And will gunpowder grow like corn? |
58781 | Can you tell me where Foster''s house is? |
58781 | Did you not know it? 58781 Do all these men want to talk with Captain Brant, too?" |
58781 | Do you know this Indian name? |
58781 | Do you not plant corn in the ground? |
58781 | Explains what? |
58781 | Have you then,demanded the chief,"any method by which you can change your palates every time you change your plate? |
58781 | How I know he mean me? 58781 How does it happen you are at this kind of work while your neighbors are all murdered around you?" |
58781 | How many lodges did you have? |
58781 | How many men-- how many men are there? |
58781 | How much? |
58781 | How much? |
58781 | How muchee? |
58781 | How old are you? |
58781 | Indeed,answered Sir William,"what did my red brother dream?" |
58781 | Is Saul also among the prophets? |
58781 | Is he a full- blood Indian? |
58781 | May I inquire the reason of my being so honored? |
58781 | My father? |
58781 | My son,said the chief, looking at the captain severely,"do you allow your squaw thus to trifle with your father?" |
58781 | Now you are wrapped up in your children and are happy? |
58781 | Now,said Red Jacket,"what was that for?" |
58781 | Oh, get out,the dude ejaculated;"what''s the use of so much politeness with a lazy, sleepy- looking Indian? |
58781 | Qui bamus ahwah? |
58781 | Shall I shoot him in his tracks? |
58781 | Sir,said their spokesman,"do you wish peace or war?" |
58781 | Then how is it that he has a Mexican or Spanish name? 58781 Then you will be going to Fort Sill in a few days to deliver the President''s message?" |
58781 | Well, do you know the great marked maple tree that stands in it? |
58781 | Well,asked Mae,"Why was it Long Yellow Hair was n''t scalped, when every one else was? |
58781 | Well,said the doctor, after a pause,"what can be done for the Moquis?" |
58781 | Well,says Tom,"do you know where the great meadow is?" |
58781 | What are you doing? |
58781 | What did my pale- faced brother dream? |
58781 | What do you want? |
58781 | What him call? |
58781 | What him call? |
58781 | What is your name? |
58781 | What is your name? |
58781 | What was that? |
58781 | What,he exclaimed,"sue Tiger- Tail? |
58781 | Where him live now? |
58781 | Where is your paint? |
58781 | Who goes there? |
58781 | Why can you not speak whilst I write? |
58781 | Why do you plant it? |
58781 | Why you no go,I asked in astonishment,"when the President motioned for you to come?" |
58781 | Why,demanded Pontiac,"do I see so many of my father''s young men standing in the street with their guns?" |
58781 | You know Bible? |
58781 | ''He will hear everything, but will say nothing until he feels called upon to agitate something with the tribe? |
58781 | ''Was he, is he, a mere medicine man?'' |
58781 | ''What, nothing?'' |
58781 | ? |
58781 | A religious teacher? |
58781 | A squaw entered a trader''s store, wrapped in a blanket, pointed to a straw hat and asked:"How muchee?" |
58781 | Also an answer, from the latest research, of the query, WHENCE CAME THE INDIAN? |
58781 | Am I not as I have been?" |
58781 | Am I too feeble to avenge myself of my enemies? |
58781 | And shall he not lead his people in this? |
58781 | And that Smith, though confessedly an ignorant man and a poor writer, could translate Egyptian, one of the most difficult languages in the world? |
58781 | And what can you get by war if we escape you and hide our provisions in the woods? |
58781 | And who was to decide the matter? |
58781 | And, if so, what more natural than that the hostility of so great a chief as Powhatan would be concealed? |
58781 | Are there buffaloes enough? |
58781 | Are we not men? |
58781 | Are we to understand that you refuse those offers?" |
58781 | Are you the Great Spirit? |
58781 | At last, in a tone expressive of anger and scorn, he said:''For what purpose do you come here? |
58781 | At the luncheon counter the one who could master the most English asked,"Guv''munt pay?" |
58781 | Brant met, in society, a nobleman(?) |
58781 | But how dare I cut off my mother''s hair? |
58781 | But it might be asked how is it these Indians are called Tuscaroras or Tuscoards, and Doegs in North Carolina, and Mandans on the upper Missouri? |
58781 | But it might be asked, is such a thing possible after the lapse of ages? |
58781 | But when did a white man ever keep his sacred word to an Indian? |
58781 | By the way, what has become of that young chief who opposed so eloquently the burying of the tomahawk?" |
58781 | Can the Indian be civilized, and is he capable of a high- class education? |
58781 | Can the Indian chieftain again escape? |
58781 | Can you understand it, gentle reader? |
58781 | Can your people subsist on the game here?'' |
58781 | Captain Brant?" |
58781 | Could it be that a single Sioux would approach a party of their strength? |
58781 | Dere vas de tree, and here vas my position; how can I help? |
58781 | Did I fear the Great White Chief? |
58781 | Did I fear them? |
58781 | Did I know that I was a fool? |
58781 | Did I not assist you in routing them and driving them away? |
58781 | Did I not go to his camp, and say to him, that if he wished to kill the French he must first kill me and my warriors? |
58781 | Did I not take your part? |
58781 | Did you consider him too brave to be scalped?" |
58781 | Did you make all these things, that you talk to us as though we were boys? |

58781 | Did you make the sun? |
58781 | Did you make the world? |
58781 | Do n''t you see that you will probably have the same difficulty in Canada that you have had in the United States?'' |
58781 | Do not some of you feel as if you were destined to lose your old hunting grounds? |
58781 | Do you fear that our brothers, the French, who are now among us, will hinder us? |
58781 | Do you hear that agonizing wail on every side? |
58781 | Do you not really believe that a reduction in your charges would materially enhance your pecuniary profits, as well as be ethically proper? |

58781 | General Terry recapitulated to them the advantages of being at peace with the United States, the kindly(?) |
58781 | Had not their ancestors been saved in the ark? |
58781 | Have I ever lied to you? |
58781 | Have I not shown you the belts I received from our Great Father, the King of France? |
58781 | Have they ever violated the treaties made with the red men? |
58781 | Have they taken anything from you? |
58781 | Having risen very gravely and spoken a few words in Seneca, he noticed her inquire what he was talking about? |
58781 | He asked General Howard:"Is that your order? |
58781 | He got it and handed it to Rain, saying:"Does that look anything like the fight?" |
58781 | He had been a true though mistaken friend, and who would take his place? |
58781 | He immediately ran to see what it meant, and in the darkness saw a canoe approaching, and shouted to its occupant,"Who are you, friend or foe?" |
58781 | He tells us to strike-- why should we not listen to his words? |
58781 | He who was only chief of a small band or village? |
58781 | His last words were still,"Where is the missionary?" |
58781 | How can he answer it to his country? |
58781 | How could I raise it without planting?" |
58781 | How do I know whether or not you are lying to me? |
58781 | How do we know this to be true? |
58781 | How shall we know when to believe, being so often deceived by the white people? |
58781 | I asked,"and will you kindly write it on my note- book?" |
58781 | I once gave counsels to my young men; am I to conform to others? |
58781 | I open it and a voice inquires:"Pokagon, what of your people? |
58781 | I said,''Sweet smell; is that quanah?'' |
58781 | I said:''How so, Isaac?'' |
58781 | I say to myself,''which of all these things can you do?'' |
58781 | I will leave it to the people of the United States to say whether our nation was properly represented in this treaty? |
58781 | I would like to know why you came here? |
58781 | If it had been my fault would I have come so far to talk with you?'' |
58781 | If there is but one religion, why do you white people differ so much about it? |
58781 | If you are not a great chief, why do these men think so much of you?'' |
58781 | In the first place, where he was born? |
58781 | Is Shabbona classed among the_ famous_ Indian chiefs? |
58781 | Is it not remarkable that those plates, though giving an account of_ Jews,_ were engraved in_ Egyptian_ characters? |
58781 | Is it robbery? |
58781 | Is my heart bad now? |
58781 | Is not all this a complete vindication of Red Jacket''s courage? |
58781 | Is not this at once beautiful and pathetic? |
58781 | It read as follows:"Captain Cresap""What did you kill my people on Yellow Creek for? |
58781 | It was in consequence of this_ vision(? |
58781 | My first question to Geronimo was,"Where were you born?" |
58781 | Now let us hear what his explanation will be? |
58781 | Old Joseph was present, and when Mr. Spaulding urged him to sign the treaty, he answered,"Why do you ask me to sign away my country? |
58781 | On receiving an affirmative answer, he continued,"Do you remember saving the life of a wounded lieutenant from Kentucky by the name of Shelby?" |
58781 | Or whether we received a fair compensation for the extent of country ceded by those four individuals? |
58781 | President say:''Wo n''t you go hunting with me in big prairie, and stay week and show us where to find the wolves?'' |
58781 | Shall I dig under her skin for her bones? |
58781 | Shall I take a knife and tear my mother''s bosom? |
58781 | Shall we fight the Americans?" |
58781 | She now addressed the warriors about as follows:"Are you men, old women or children? |
58781 | Should our women say that our livers were white? |
58781 | Should we let strangers take their country from them? |
58781 | So much for the primeval settlement and civilization of South and Central America, but what about the aborigines of the Northern Continent? |
58781 | Some day he will ask Wabasha,''Where is your red brother?'' |
58781 | Sue a man who ai n''t got nothing but a shirt? |
58781 | Tecumseh also directed the Indians, that should the question be asked, why he had come so far? |
58781 | Tell me, do you hate the Americans very much?" |
58781 | The alarmed champion dropped his sword and exclaimed,"Who can you be? |
58781 | The idea of impressing the untutored mind of poor Lo{?} |
58781 | The price was quoted and was followed by another query of"How muchee?" |
58781 | The principal object of this expedition was to find an answer to the question, How was this continent peopled? |
58781 | The reports of this miracle(?) |
58781 | The shirt?" |
58781 | Then he said twice, though very inwardly,''Keen Winsnow?'' |
58781 | Then, stepping close to me, he said, in a low tone:_''Does the mole think that Black Hawk forgets? |
58781 | These three friends in his time of distress shouted their welcome salutation of"Wha- cheer, wha- cheer?" |
58781 | They are not acquainted with our designs, and if they did know them, could they prevent them? |
58781 | They kill buffaloes for what? |
58781 | They remembered his own prophetic appeal--"Who shall take my place among my people?" |
58781 | This he afterward published while at Salem, and in it he said:"Why lay such stress upon your patent from King James? |
58781 | Tom heard him out-- and, with the coolness of a stoic, replied--"Did you not find the meadow I said?" |
58781 | Too- Hool- Hool- Suit answered:"Who are you, that you ask us to talk, and then tell me I sha n''t talk? |
58781 | Turning to the station agent and looking up the track he asked,"How much?" |
58781 | WHENCE CAME THE ABORIGINES OF AMERICA? |
58781 | Was he the great chief of the Apache nation? |
58781 | Was it a rude and savage nature that prompted this attention to a little child, to gladden a mother''s heart? |
58781 | Was it not I and my young men? |
58781 | Was it to insure his own safety, by having a strong guard always present? |
58781 | Was not he, Sitting Bull, a great Medicine Man? |
58781 | Was not this a delicate way of showing gratitude and expressing friendship? |
58781 | Were the remains of Prince Madog''s company represented in these''Doeg''Tuscaroras? |
58781 | What are they? |
58781 | What can a few brave warriors do against the innumerable warriors of the Seventeen Fires? |
58781 | What can you do against us? |
58781 | What did those innocent people do to you that you should kill them, steal their horses, and slip around in the rocks like coyotes? |
58781 | What do you expect to gain by destroying us who provide you with food? |
58781 | What do you fear? |
58781 | What evidence have I of your sincerity? |
58781 | What had that to do with killing innocent people? |
58781 | What have the English done for us?" |
58781 | What have we done that you should want us to stop? |
58781 | What is the matter that you[ General Crook] do n''t speak to me? |
58781 | What is this? |
58781 | What prevents our extermination? |
58781 | What reason have you to complain of the Seventeen Fires? |
58781 | What shall be said of his statement? |
58781 | What was Geronimo then? |
58781 | What was it to them if troops were quartered in Boston? |
58781 | What was the cause of the Black Hawk War? |
58781 | What will be their future?" |
58781 | What would I get? |
58781 | When I am gone to the other world-- when the Great Spirit calls me away-- who among my people can take my place? |
58781 | When he had finished, I said to him:"Rain, if you did n''t kill Long Yellow Hair, who did?" |
58781 | When the chief was introduced to Lafayette he said:"Do you remember being at the treaty of peace with the Six Nations at Fort Stanwix?" |
58781 | When we were seated in the shade the chief said:"What do you want to talk about?" |
58781 | When will the white chiefs be as wise and keep whisky away from their young men? |
58781 | Whence Came the Aborigines of America? |
58781 | Who is there to mourn for Logan? |

58781 | Who then defended you? |
58781 | Who, then, lives to mourn us? |
58781 | Why are you in such a hurry? |
58781 | Why did the ancients say so much about a"great Saturnian Continent"beyond the Atlantic if nobody in prehistoric ages had ever seen that continent? |
58781 | Why do n''t you look at me and smile at me? |
58781 | Why do they think so much of you?'' |
58781 | Why do you not clothe yourselves in skins, as they did, and use the bows and arrows, and the stone- pointed lances, which they used? |
58781 | Why do you suffer the white man to dwell among you? |
58781 | Why not all agree, as you can all read the book? |
58781 | Why not, in the study of ethnology and history, follow the leading of facts, rather than force the facts to prove a pet theory? |
58781 | Why should I? |
58781 | Why this word"unjustly"on the one side and not on the other? |
58781 | Why was it he always sent the raw recruits to find and attack the Indians and kept the best soldiers idle in the camp? |
58781 | Why, then, should it be assumed that he was a coward? |
58781 | Why? |
58781 | Why? |
58781 | Will you let us go in peace?" |
58781 | Would any of them raise steers and go to farming? |
58781 | Would you live with them in peace if they allowed you to do so or do you think you can only obtain peace here?'' |
58781 | You must then suppose that the plates and knives and forks retain the taste of the cookery?" |
58781 | You saw that we, who understand and practice these rules, believed all your stories; why do you refuse to believe ours?" |
58781 | You say you are not a government agent; are you a gambler( meaning a land speculator), or a black- coat( clergyman), or what are you?'' |

44263 | One of our troop addressed the rider thus:"Many up there, mate?" |
44263 | One of the platoon, not seeing the officer, thought the remark was a joke, so he replied,"Yes, why ai n''t the band playing?" |
44263 | Our captain was in a rage and shouted down from the bridge to the officer of the watch,"Is there anyone on board who can speak German?" |
44263 | Peering into the blackness, I called out,"Where are you?" |
44263 | Picquet officer( appearing from a corner of the trench):"What''s the meaning of all these feathers, Brown?" |
44263 | Presently there was a lull, and the American officer was heard to ask,"Say, boys, where is the front line in these parts?" |
44263 | Rank, name, and regimental number were given, and then the orderly asked,"Which division are you from?" |
44263 | Returning to the game, I said to my chum,"Whose move, Joe?" |
44263 | See that? |
44263 | Seen Nobby Clark? |
44263 | Shall I see if I can get him for you?" |
44263 | Sister returned( she was the right stuff) and said:"Hello, what''s happened here? |
44263 | So I just_ wo n''t_ die, to spite yer, see?" |
44263 | Springing smartly to attention, and with a pained look upon his face, old Billy replied:"This''ere, sir? |
44263 | Stores:"You all right, Bill?" |
44263 | Suddenly he stopped, lifted his uninjured arm at the Germans and shouted,"Blimey, wot yer all firing at me for? |
44263 | Ted-- wot d''ye reckon they done it wiv? |
44263 | Tell the colonel, what was it?" |
44263 | Ten minutes later came the same voice:"Is Sergeant Fossell down there?" |
44263 | The C.Q.M.S., not knowing the extent of Brown''s injury, inquired,"What''s the trouble, Brown?" |
44263 | The Tommy replied:"Wot''s the good of making that leg strite w''en the uvver one''s bowed?" |
44263 | The company officer was inclined to be cross with him, and asked him,"But what made you go so far as the enemy position?" |
44263 | The first time I went to see him, he said,"What do you think of it? |
44263 | The jolting of the cart apparently jerked a little life into him, for he asked me,"Got a fag, mate?" |
44263 | The officer said:"Where did you find them?" |
44263 | The officer, becoming annoyed at the delay, sent back the message:"Who''s the fool who lost his gumboot?" |
44263 | The usual form of inquiry was:"Hullo---- what have you got?" |
44263 | Then the padre asked the wheel driver in a very small voice,"My man, can I do anything to assist you?" |
44263 | There came from the line a sergeant, who shouted,"Why do n''t you lads duck?" |
44263 | To the Greek he said,"Hi,''oo the dickens d''you fink you are-- the Lord Mayor? |
44263 | To which a Cockney voice replied,"Blimey, sergeant, where''s the landing stage?" |
44263 | Tommy:"Sitting room inside, mate?" |
44263 | Upon reaching a hatchway leading down to the stokers''mess deck, he called down:"Is there any water coming in down there?" |
44263 | Voice from passing infantryman, in the unmistakable accent of Bow Bells:"Where y''goin'', mate? |
44263 | W''y do orficers lose their third button?" |
44263 | W. Owen( late Corporal, Desert Corps), 9 Keith Road, Walthamstow, E.17._"Parti? |
44263 | Waiting a few minutes, the corporal again passed a message back:"Have n''t you got him out yet? |
44263 | Walters( late Cpl., Royal Fusiliers), 20 Church Street, Woolwich, S.E.18._ When In Greece...? |
44263 | Was the bomb going to burst in the gun and blow us all to bits? |
44263 | We got him out and he stood on dry(?) |
44263 | We shouted down to him,"Where are we, mate?" |
44263 | We were naturally anxious to know what it was like"up there,"and the following conversation took place in passing:"What''s it like, mate?" |
44263 | What have we got?" |
44263 | What next?" |
44263 | What was to be done? |
44263 | What would you do? |
44263 | What''s happened?" |
44263 | When I asked if I could do anything for him, he said:"Are there many hurt?" |
44263 | When he arrived abreast of us he shouted in very good English:"It''s a long way to Tipperary, boys, is n''t it?" |
44263 | When he saw me he called out above the row going on:"I''opes yer do n''t mind me''aving come to the garden party wivout an invertition, sir?" |
44263 | When the bearers came to his stretcher, one said to the other,"What''s it say on his ticket?" |
44263 | When they reached us one of our young officers shouted out:"Are you looking for the hounds?" |
44263 | Where is it? |
44263 | Where the''ell are yer goin''wiv that gun? |
44263 | Where''s the girl in the tights wot rides the''orses?" |
44263 | Wherever''ave yer bin, me old brown son? |
44263 | While we were endeavouring to find the meat at the bottom of the spoilt water we heard a voice say:"Any complaints?" |
44263 | Whilst I was thus engaged he said to me in a weak voice, but with a smile on his face:"How much did yer say it would corst to take them tattoos orf?" |
44263 | Who''s coming with me?" |
44263 | Why ai n''t yer singin''''Let the Great Big World Keep Turnin'',''eh?" |
44263 | Why not, my good man? |
44263 | Why? |
44263 | With a feeble smile he said,"Blimey, sir, this''as been a short week- end, ai n''t it?" |
44263 | With a weary sigh, as if a great truth had dawned upon him, he said pathetically:"Lumme, that do bring the war''ome to a bloke, do n''t it, miss?" |
44263 | Wood, D.S.M., 19 Gracechurch Street, E.C.3._"Wot''s the Game-- Musical Chairs?" |
44263 | Wot abaht this''un? |
44263 | Wot d''yer fink I am-- a blinkin''tiddler?" |
44263 | Would he be spotted by snipers? |
44263 | Would he have to lie out in No Man''s Land all day? |
44263 | You can imagine what a comical sight it was, but the climax came when he was challenged by the corporal,"Where the devil have you been?" |
44263 | You fink I''m goin''ter die? |
44263 | You_ would_ choose just''ere to land, would n''t yer, and give the bloomin''show away?" |

44263 | as he returned to his bully beef.--_Lady Lawford, London, S.W.1._"In Time for the Workman''s?" |
44263 | asked,"How are things going this morning?" |
44263 | broke in the corporal,"you with yer fawncy tyles of Inja? |
44263 | gasped a little Cockney platoon chum squatting beside me,"did yer see that lot? |
44263 | he exclaimed,"did yer_ work_ once, Corp?" |
44263 | he said,''who''d''ave fought of seein''the b---- vicarage in the front line?''" |

46933 | !_ What? |
46933 | ''Peru,''she began to read,"''the ancient kingdom of the Incas--''""Of the whichers?" |
46933 | Ai n''t the teacher comin''? |
46933 | Almost the only novel which I condescended to include in my list is''Don Quixote,''and why did I do that? 46933 And the lasso that hangs above them?" |
46933 | And the stuffed bloodhound? |
46933 | And this hen? |
46933 | Are you sure that is what it is? |
46933 | Are you sure there was such a man? |
46933 | As I go over my reading for the past five years at Upidee, in what do I find it to consist? 46933 Ca n''t you roll me a cigarette? |
46933 | Daniel? 46933 David, are you there? |
46933 | Did anything come of it? |
46933 | Did n''t they make you take a green card? |
46933 | Did n''t yer put a feller out, or somethin''? |
46933 | Did you look under''periodicals''? |
46933 | Do you suppose,she whispered,"that it is the great condor of the Andes?" |
46933 | Does n''t it? |
46933 | Gibbon is a man then? 46933 Going to have some sweet- peas?" |
46933 | Got any new books? |
46933 | Have I? 46933 Have you ever read it?" |
46933 | Have you had trouble with him before? |
46933 | Have you it right there? |
46933 | Here are some smaller animals,said Mr. Gooch;"do you know this fellow with the sharp nose?" |
46933 | Him? 46933 How about Shakspeare?" |
46933 | How did you get all these weapons? |
46933 | How do you do it? |
46933 | How long do they have to keep that up? |
46933 | How many cards you got? |
46933 | How many of them are there? |
46933 | How would that do? |
46933 | I beg your pardon? |
46933 | Is it awfully dry? 46933 Is n''t it? |
46933 | Is that necessary? |
46933 | Is this the library? 46933 Is this the library?" |
46933 | Is this the one you want--''The Halfback''? 46933 Is_ that_ what it means?" |
46933 | It is a mongoose, is it not? |
46933 | Jane, do you mean to say that you do not know how to mulch? |
46933 | Keep what up? |
46933 | Know anything about it? |
46933 | Know who Beowulf was? |
46933 | Let''s see-- Swift, Jane Austen and Spenser are the ducks you say I ought to look up? |

46933 | Miss Patterson? 46933 Mister, you ai n''t got the lady''s job away from her, have yer?" |
46933 | No; what good are they? |
46933 | Now, Willie,she said,"which do you like best, story- books or nature books?" |
46933 | Oh, would that make any difference? |
46933 | One moment,I interposed,"how do you classify your animals? |
46933 | Sam, what Bailey is it they are to look it up in? |
46933 | Say, I guess yer got into some trouble here last week, did n''t yer? |
46933 | She was the woman that was married three or four times, and ought to have been two or three other times, was n''t she? |
46933 | So you''ve only got to- day and to- morrow? |

46933 | The one with which he killed the Lord of Luna?'' 46933 The snakes are an especially fine part of the collection,"Mr. Gooch remarked;"do you see this swamp adder? |
46933 | There is n''t any such thing,she said presently;"do n''t you mean perennials? |
46933 | They look much more harmless than Bob Acres''pistols, do they not? 46933 This? |
46933 | To be what? |
46933 | Trouble? 46933 Was he the fellow who said we were all descended from monkeys?" |
46933 | Was it any good? |
46933 | Was there never an Indian raid? |
46933 | Well, let me see, how about Browning? |
46933 | Well, what could we have? 46933 Well, why could n''t we have that?" |
46933 | Well, why_ did n''t_ you mulch''em? |
46933 | Well, you know who Swinburne was, do n''t you? |

46933 | What was that? |
46933 | What will happen to them? |
46933 | What would the scientific name be? |
46933 | What''s that? |
46933 | What, the author of''Winged Warblers of Waltham''and''Common or Garden Birds''? |
46933 | What? |
46933 | Where is he? |
46933 | Where''s that copy of''Thelma''? 46933 Where''s the teacher?" |
46933 | Who are they? |
46933 | Who? 46933 Whom did you see in there?" |
46933 | Why, it does n''t say that, does it? |
46933 | Will we? 46933 Will you please ask Miss Bixby to look it up, and let me know as soon as possible?" |
46933 | Would you mind getting me a rain- coat? 46933 You do n''t? |
46933 | You wanted to see me? 46933 _ What?_ Tripped you up?" |
46933 | _ What?_ Tripped you up? |
46933 | A man( mopping his brow):"Say, what''s this''open- shelf''business,--d''ye have to find your own books? |
46933 | A serious- faced man, evidently a workingman in his best clothes:"Have n''t you got the Encyclopà ¦ dia Britannica here? |
46933 | A small boy:"Have you any books about explosions? |
46933 | A small girl:"Please, can I keep this book on how to bring up parrots till next week?" |
46933 | A tall and very resolute- looking woman, with three books under her arm:"Have you got''The Leopard''s Spots''in this library? |
46933 | A voice from the rear of the crowd:"Why do n''t you do something about it?" |
46933 | A woman leading a child:"Haf you de Deutsches Balladenbuch?" |
46933 | A woman with poppies on her hat:"How do you do, Miss Vanderpyl? |
46933 | A woman:"Just let me take that pencil of yours, a minute?" |
46933 | A young lady, an acquaintance of Miss Grant, who thinks she is doing a little slumming:"Oh, Miss Grant, how do you do? |
46933 | Ai n''t you?" |
46933 | And this is the book you want to take?" |
46933 | And who was Pamela Pingree who died in 1689?" |
46933 | And your husband, I presume, will represent the marquis?" |
46933 | And, look here, is n''t this page 719?" |
46933 | Another man:"That''s because it''s Carnegie''s library, ai n''t it, miss?" |
46933 | Another small boy:"Have n''t you got the Mutt and Jeff book yet? |
46933 | Are there not some events that would be suitable? |
46933 | At the time when I began to take down their conversation, the young woman was saying:"What''s''Gibbon''? |
46933 | Bailey who? |
46933 | Browning?" |
46933 | Bunkum?" |
46933 | But what was that about Grub Street? |
46933 | But what will I say to Aunt Ella?" |
46933 | But, say, how is that? |
46933 | Buying sweet- peas?" |
46933 | Can you do nothing to remedy this state of things? |
46933 | Central gave me the wrong number.... Hello, is this central? |
46933 | Could it have been because his poems are easy to understand and that I thought it would seem more''scholarly''to put in Browning? |
46933 | D''ye see this postal? |
46933 | David? |
46933 | Dear me, is that your ancestor?" |
46933 | Did not General Washington and Mrs. Washington visit our town?" |
46933 | Did she?" |
46933 | Did you call for us?" |
46933 | Did you look under''periodicals''?" |
46933 | Do n''t say he lived in the Craigie House on Brattle street, and wrote''Evangeline,''will you? |
46933 | Do n''t yer know how to work that?" |
46933 | Do n''t yer? |
46933 | Do you mean to say that you own only_ one_ copy of such an important work?" |
46933 | Do you recognize the canary?" |
46933 | Do you s''pose I can work that gag now, an''get''By England''s Aid''?" |
46933 | Do you suppose an authority like Mrs. Bunkum would write a book on gardening, and not mention such common things as sunflowers? |
46933 | Do you understand? |
46933 | During the interval that followed, the operator at central asked three times:"Did you get them?" |
46933 | Ever hear of him?" |
46933 | Gracious, is that clock right? |
46933 | Have you a history of Peru? |
46933 | Have you any books about birds?" |
46933 | Have you any other animals in it?" |
46933 | Have you anything sufficiently mournful?" |
46933 | Have you ever raised any?" |
46933 | Have you ever read this book?" |
46933 | Have you ever tried it?" |
46933 | Have you got it here or have n''t you? |
46933 | Have you got it?" |
46933 | Have you something there in which you have absolutely no interest-- some book or article that is dry as dust?" |
46933 | Have you the book right there? |
46933 | Have you''The Blandishments of Belinda''in this library?" |
46933 | Hello, is this the Public Library? |
46933 | Henderson''s glue factory? |
46933 | How are you for pigs''feet to- day?" |
46933 | How are you on Swift, Addison and that crowd? |
46933 | How do you do it?" |
46933 | How does it go?" |
46933 | How many yer got?" |
46933 | How old was the man?'' |
46933 | I ca n''t see it over the telephone, can I? |
46933 | I do n''t see what this''Sunbonnet''means, do you? |
46933 | I had often read of this custom in times of mutiny, so I remarked:"I suppose it was by your orders, Captain?" |
46933 | I had to sit and listen to this chatter:"What yer got?" |
46933 | I understand that you answer inquiries by telephone? |
46933 | I''d like to read his book-- I wonder if they''ve got it here?" |
46933 | If that''s so, how under the sun, I''d like to know, was he married to Pamela Perkins in 1706?" |
46933 | In Freedom Bailey''s Cyclopà ¦ dia of Agriculture, or any dictionary.... Did you find it? |
46933 | Is n''t she there?" |
46933 | Is that Miss Fairfax? |
46933 | Is that central? |
46933 | Is that you? |
46933 | Is there no other way? |
46933 | Is this Miss Fairfax? |
46933 | Is this the library? |
46933 | Is this the library? |
46933 | It does n''t look earthly, does it? |
46933 | It has n''t been discharged-- who brought this in? |
46933 | It was about so high-- oh, I forgot, you ca n''t see over the telephone, can you? |
46933 | It was to appear next April, and now who knows whether I shall be there ready to reply to the attacks which I know it will provoke? |
46933 | Kookle?" |
46933 | Let me see; I believe I sent you an advance invitation? |
46933 | Miss Fairfax has gone to her supper? |
46933 | Miss Fairfax? |
46933 | Miss French, the other librarian, laying a very dirty slip of paper on Miss Grant''s desk:"What do you suppose this means? |
46933 | Miss Grant:"Oh, yes-- just write her a note, will you, Miss French? |
46933 | Miss Grant:"Perhaps you took it from the central library, or one of the other branches?" |
46933 | Miss Grant:"Why, how old is he?" |
46933 | Miss Patterson? |
46933 | Miss V.( becoming rather red):"Your card?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Ca n''t you tell me about the book,--what it was about, I mean?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"He means''One Way Out,''--see if there is a copy in, will you?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Is that it?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"It must keep him rather busy, do n''t you think, running all his libraries?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Was it a story? |
46933 | Miss V.:"Was it fiction-- a novel?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"What book do you want?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"What was the title?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Which same one? |
46933 | Miss V.:"Who was the author-- who wrote it?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Why, I ca n''t give you a book unless you have a card,--haven''t you ever borrowed books from the library?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Will you look it up in the catalogue, please? |
46933 | Miss V.:"Yes, your library card,--haven''t you one?" |
46933 | No, please hold the line; I have n''t finished yet.... Is that you, Miss Fairfax? |
46933 | Not by authors, I take it?" |
46933 | Now how many of these will you take? |
46933 | Now what would you advise? |
46933 | Now, can you tell me what the name of the book is, Miss Patterson?" |
46933 | Now, do you remember what it was?" |
46933 | Now, if I should describe it to you do you think you could look it up in some of your books?" |
46933 | Now, if you''ll just--"A high school student:"Can I get a copy of''The Merchant of Venice,''the Rolfe edition?" |
46933 | Now, what do you suppose it is?" |
46933 | Now, what shall I do-- shall I sit down here and help you?" |
46933 | Now, would you let x equal the age of the uncle, or the man?" |
46933 | Oh, Miss Anderson? |
46933 | Oh, Miss Anderson? |
46933 | Oh, Miss Tyler and Miss Hancock, out at the desk, of course, and who? |
46933 | Oh, how do you do? |
46933 | Oh, is n''t that''The Long Roll''over there on that desk? |
46933 | Oh, you did-- you''re returning it? |
46933 | One of the little boys began to cry, and Mr. Fernald, remarking,"I guess that will do, wo n''t it?" |
46933 | Over there, you see that big crowd? |
46933 | Perhaps you recognize the other?" |
46933 | Say, have you ever read any of Alger''s?" |
46933 | Shall I put him out?" |
46933 | Smith?" |
46933 | Something about your son?" |
46933 | Still, my little museum-- you have never seen it? |
46933 | That peculiar machine in the corner? |
46933 | That''s so, ai n''t it? |
46933 | The confidential man( beginning to lose his patience, at last):"_ About?_ Why, it was about a lot of things!" |
46933 | The confidential man:"Huh?" |
46933 | The confidential man:"Lord, I dunno!--Just let me have it, will yer?" |
46933 | The confidential man:"The title?--Oh, the_ name_ of it?" |
46933 | The man:"Why, I thought he run it, do n''t he?" |
46933 | The personage( mystified):"Card?" |
46933 | The personage:"Who made that rule?" |
46933 | The personage:"Why not?" |
46933 | The small man:"I beg pardon?" |
46933 | The small man:"Oh, those_ horrid_ cards? |
46933 | The two swords next to Horatius''s-- who owned them?" |
46933 | The very large woman:"What? |
46933 | The what? |
46933 | The woman with poppies:"Oh, is that so?" |
46933 | There were my beloved Goethe and Schiller-- should I start with them? |
46933 | This is a cigar- cutter''s knife-- a curious weapon, is n''t it? |

34038 | After I left you,said he,"the thought struck me,--Why can not I control the muscles of my system as well as my appetites and passions? |
34038 | And do you think,he added,"that I must die?" |
34038 | And how long is it usual to wear it? 34038 And who is Hezekiah?" |
34038 | And you have no positive knowledge of but one permanent cure among them all? |
34038 | And you think, do you, that this highly seasoned food is the cause of your dyspepsia? |
34038 | Any one else? |
34038 | Are the public, then, fully determined to act against their own interest? 34038 Are you not aware,"I added,"that physicians seldom take their own medicines or give them to their families?" |
34038 | Are you quite sure there_ is_ any gain or prize, after all? |
34038 | But can you do nothing with my face? |
34038 | But for what purpose would you give her pumpkin- seed tea? 34038 But he was very confident he could cure him?" |
34038 | But how many have been cured by it? 34038 But our poor pathology and worse therapeutics-- shall we ever get to a solid bottom? |
34038 | Do I understand you? 34038 Do n''t you think he is struck with death, doctor?" |
34038 | Do we know, for example, in how many instances such a treatment fails, for the one time it succeeds? 34038 Do you know what Dr. Thornton thinks about it?" |
34038 | Do you know,added Dr. Tisdale,"that we do a great deal more harm than good with medicine?" |
34038 | Do you mean to ask if I believe Mr. Browning was really cured? |
34038 | Do you mean to do nothing? |
34038 | Do you mean to intimate that the bountiful provision you make for others renders it necessary for you to overeat? 34038 Do you really think so?" |
34038 | Do you wish me to learn to swim, if possible? 34038 Has any one been really cured by it?" |
34038 | Has the doctor ordered my daughter no milk punch? |
34038 | Have you drank it? |
34038 | Have you much confidence in a method of treatment that succeeds once in fifty times, or even once in twenty? |
34038 | How could I doubt what I have seen and known? |
34038 | How do you do? |
34038 | How do you know? |
34038 | How long have you been troubled with it? |
34038 | How, then,she asked,"can the ninny expect she can ever have any nourishment for that_ boy_?" |
34038 | Is it a favorite remedy with her? |
34038 | Is there, then, no choice between medication and no- medication? 34038 Nonsense, my son,"said the father;"do you think coffee is powerful enough to give a man a lame knee? |
34038 | There is no possibility of accounting for it, my son, and why should we talk about it? 34038 To what larger transgression, my dear father, will you be more ready to refer it? |
34038 | Tried it? 34038 What can it mean?" |
34038 | What have you been doing? |
34038 | What have you done for it? |
34038 | What,said they, with much surprise,"has become of the rum?" |
34038 | What_ is_ tic douloureux? |
34038 | Where is your distress? |
34038 | Who hath woe,--as Solomon says, with respect to a very different description of human character,--if not this poor widow? |
34038 | Who is this? |
34038 | Why do medical men,I asked,"give us such strange names? |
34038 | Why was it,said I,"that you could get no more blood?" |
34038 | Why, then, is it not oftener done? |
34038 | Why,said they,"what does the man mean? |
34038 | Will it not be needful for you to call again? |
34038 | Would you do nothing more? |
34038 | Would you, then, do nothing at all but bind it up and keep it still? |
34038 | --"But is there nothing of a healing nature I can use?" |
34038 | --"Do you think you could bear to know the truth? |
34038 | --"On the upper part of the foot?" |
34038 | --"What do you want bleeding for?" |
34038 | --"Why not?" |
34038 | ----?" |
34038 | Almost out of patience, the doctor at length replied:"Struck with death? |
34038 | An earnest mind, in connection with an indomitable will-- what may it not accomplish? |
34038 | And are our physicians and our medicines likely to bring us there? |
34038 | And by what means? |
34038 | And does not salting it so harden or toughen it, or, as it were, fix it, that it will resist the natural tendency to decomposition or putrefaction? |
34038 | And does not this fully account for a most remarkable fact? |
34038 | And if so, is it not desirable to let well enough alone?" |
34038 | And if we are to begin it at once, on whom shall the work devolve? |
34038 | And in therapeutics, is it better yet, or worse? |
34038 | And is it all over? |
34038 | And may not this be one reason why a foreign language has been so long retained in connection with the names of diseases and medicines? |
34038 | And was I not bound to do what I believed he would do, in similar circumstances? |
34038 | And was the physician, think you, an uninterested spectator? |
34038 | And what had become of the one barrel which had disappeared? |
34038 | And what is the hope of his patient? |
34038 | And whence all this? |
34038 | And who are you with whom I am conversing?" |
34038 | And why did not he? |
34038 | And why, indeed, may I not coin terms as well as others? |
34038 | Any objections to eating two sour apples after breakfast and dinner?" |
34038 | Any salt fish? |
34038 | Are they the result of chance or hap- hazard? |
34038 | At least, how do we know but it may be so? |
34038 | But could I avoid such a conclusion? |
34038 | But could he have been thus worn out at the age of fifty- eight? |
34038 | But did he cure? |
34038 | But does he secure to himself the most pleasure who thinks most about it? |
34038 | But for what purpose, as a final end? |
34038 | But he was now gone to his final account, and on whose arm could Mary lean for medical advice? |
34038 | But how is it known? |
34038 | But how is it to be done? |
34038 | But how was this to be done? |
34038 | But is it not equally true that when he is resolutely going up hill, they are equally ready to help him on? |
34038 | But is not plain,"unvarnished"truth sometimes not only"stranger,"but, in a work like this, better also, than any attempts at"fiction"? |
34038 | But is there no medicine I can take that will_ partially_ restore me? |
34038 | But what could I do? |
34038 | But what could I do? |
34038 | But what good would it have done? |
34038 | But what shall hinder or prevent our coming to similar results, in the investigation, in time to come, of other diseases? |
34038 | But what then? |
34038 | But what would this do towards giving me a liberal education? |
34038 | But why should such a young man be found at a seminary of learning? |
34038 | But would there have been any advantage in such a recovery, over one which was equally rapid and perfect without the aid of medicine? |
34038 | But, is it probable that this better day will dawn on a world which, in respect to health and longevity, is going in the other direction? |
34038 | But, is this benefit immense? |
34038 | By whom? |
34038 | Can I eat tripe-- corned beef-- oysters-- lean pork steak? |
34038 | Can any one suppose, for a moment, that so curious and complicated an organ as the skin, and one of such considerable extent, has nothing to do? |
34038 | Can he reasonably expect, even with the aid of a skilful surgeon, ever to have a good leg? |
34038 | Can it be so? |
34038 | Can it be that she has been compelled, in this form, to pay a fearful penalty for her former abuses? |
34038 | Can it kill him? |
34038 | Can there be such a difference in the effects when there is only a difference of one degree in temperature? |
34038 | Can you get rid of an effect till you first remove the cause?" |
34038 | Could Hippocrates or Galen have done more? |
34038 | Could I carry out my plan? |
34038 | Could I possibly reach it? |
34038 | Danforth and Hubbard? |
34038 | Did I say I learned these important truths from this source? |
34038 | Did the end either sanction or sanctify the means? |
34038 | Do not such facts as these point, with almost unerring certainty, to the inefficiency of all medical treatment? |
34038 | Do not these attract each other? |
34038 | Do our diseases spring out of the ground? |
34038 | Do they choose to be humbugged?" |
34038 | Do we know how large a proportion of cases would get well without any treatment, compared with those that recover under it? |
34038 | Do you mean as you say?" |
34038 | Do you regard this assertion as extravagant or unfounded? |
34038 | Do you suppose I have any power to grant you an immunity from the evil effects of high living while that high living is persisted in? |
34038 | Do you think it would hurt her?" |
34038 | Does it make much practical difference which? |
34038 | Does it not operate like a charm?" |
34038 | Either of these causes may, as it is most fully believed, produce disease; but if so, what is not to be expected from a combination of the two? |
34038 | Every one said:"How can it be?" |
34038 | Facts of similar import, in very great numbers, some more and some less striking, might be related, to almost any extent; but can it be necessary? |
34038 | For example, when I spoke of my patient being worn out, prematurely, by overworking, it was asked by one man,"But how is this? |
34038 | For if it was unfavorable, would it not be too much for you in your enfeebled condition?" |
34038 | For if so, what necessity is there of the medical profession? |
34038 | For residing, as we did, only a few miles apart, why had I not heard of it? |
34038 | Grant that I saved, or seemed to save, the patient;--was she really saved? |
34038 | Had I a moral right thus to do? |
34038 | Had I the needful strength? |
34038 | Had water, moreover, as his only drink, nothing to do with the cure? |
34038 | Has the surgeon or physician, in such circumstances, much reason to hope? |
34038 | Has the"glorious"_ Fourth_ gone by and I have not acted up to the dignity of a well- formed and glorious resolution? |
34038 | Have I not great reason to fear that my advice was not sufficiently pointed and thorough? |
34038 | Have all diseases, then, their exciting causes? |
34038 | Have we judged-- have we deduced our results, especially in the last science-- from_ all_, or from a selection of facts? |
34038 | Have you,"he added,"been into the cellar?" |
34038 | He was evidently affected by the stramonium; but how, I said to myself, can this be? |
34038 | How can a person, male or female, begin its use at forty and continue it to seventy years of age, and yet be, for the most part, strong and healthy? |
34038 | How could I have done so? |
34038 | How could this happen, you will naturally ask, if opium is such a deadly narcotic as some medical men proclaim it to be? |
34038 | How is it that treatment so exactly opposite should be almost, if not quite, equally successful? |
34038 | How long is it, pray, since you began to use the chalk and egg plaster?" |
34038 | How much at a time? |
34038 | How would it do, thought I, to commence at once the practice of medicine? |
34038 | How would one of Lee''s pills defend me from it, even for two days? |
34038 | I had the leisure, had I the needful strength? |
34038 | I said, only half awake;"and where is the side of the mountain? |
34038 | If honest, must we not acknowledge that, even in the natural history of disease, there is very much_ doubtful_, which is received as_ sure_? |
34038 | If not, and if a radical change is desirable, when is it to be made? |
34038 | In one of my most lucid intervals, therefore, he said to me,"Do you expect to recover from your disease?" |
34038 | In these circumstances, I repeat, what could be done? |
34038 | Is chewing gum from spruce trees injurious?--or birch bark? |
34038 | Is it an arch enemy? |
34038 | Is it not that man is made to live, and is tough, so that it is not easy to poison him to death? |
34038 | Is it not to prevent change? |
34038 | Is it not true-- the old adage, that while"God,"in his mercy,"sends us meats, the Devil,"in his malignity,"sends us cooks?" |
34038 | Is it the Divine Being? |
34038 | Is it to keep up the idea of mystery, as connected with the profession, in order thus to maintain an influence which modest worth can not secure?" |
34038 | Is milk bad in case of liver disease? |
34038 | Is she not doing as well as could be expected? |
34038 | Is there a personage, spiritual but real, that strikes? |
34038 | Is there any objection to baked sour apples and milk, or to sour apples after using a little milk or bread? |
34038 | Is there any objection to my using all these now, in proper quantities? |
34038 | Is_ perhaps_ to be our qualifying word forever and for aye? |
34038 | It might, perhaps, be successful; but what if it should prove otherwise? |
34038 | L.?" |
34038 | May we not trust much more than we have heretofore believed, in the recuperative efforts of Nature? |
34038 | Mr. Browning had something on his face, and it got well; but do we know it was a cancer? |
34038 | Much of this was needed; and yet how could it be obtained? |
34038 | Must I go down to the consumptive''s grave? |
34038 | Must I perish at less than thirty years of age, and thus make good the declaration that the wicked shall not live out half his days? |
34038 | Must the case be abandoned? |
34038 | Must the disease be"touched off"with hot or impure air, by hard colds, by excitements of body and mind, and in a thousand and one other ways? |
34038 | Must the igniting spark be applied? |
34038 | Must we forever be obliged to hang our heads when the chemist and natural philosopher ask us for our laws and principles?... |
34038 | Must we not, therefore, look for some other cause? |
34038 | My father had credit, and could raise money for me; but_ would_ he? |
34038 | Need I say here that a medical man-- one who rode daily on horseback-- paid a proper regard to the laws of exercise? |
34038 | Now how do we know whether it is the disease that kills or the medicine? |
34038 | Now, how do you account for it?" |
34038 | Now, which is the best for me to use on my bread, at supper time-- cream, milk, molasses, or a little butter?--or with my other meals? |
34038 | Observe, too, he says he feels no temptation to eat between his meals; but why? |
34038 | One day, rather unexpectedly, I met him again, and inquired familiarly how he got along with his cholera? |
34038 | Or have your remarks a reference to a supposed necessity of eating rich food?" |
34038 | Or should a few stitches be taken? |
34038 | Or was there some other way, some_ new_ way, by means, of which it could be reached? |
34038 | Or, if Heaven more than persuades-- somewhat more-- does not man still decree? |
34038 | Ought I not to have used the same plainness that he would have used? |
34038 | Perhaps, at my age, entire restoration from such a hydra disease as dyspepsia is hardly to be expected; but can you not patch me up in part?" |
34038 | Port;"what is the matter with it?" |
34038 | R."Is it doing well?" |
34038 | R., how are you?" |
34038 | Reader, are here no confessions of medical importance? |
34038 | Shall I be able to render up my account of the intercourse I had with them, in the great day, with joy, or must it be with grief and shame? |
34038 | Shall I tell you how they were gradually and successfully overcome? |
34038 | Shall I tell you the whole story?" |
34038 | Shall we ever have fixed laws? |
34038 | Shall we ever_ know_, or, must we always be doomed to_ suspect_, to_ presume_? |
34038 | Shall we wait till we have run down a century or two longer, or shall we begin the work immediately? |
34038 | Should I not be thankful? |
34038 | Should you lose that little girl of yours, simply because you are anxious to carry out a theory, will you not be likely to regret it? |
34038 | Somebody must assist him; and though the case was a troublesome one, why should I not take my share of troublesome cases among the rest? |
34038 | Soon after I made a beginning, the thought struck me,"Why not make the experiment of frequently bathing the eyes in cold water?" |
34038 | Starting up, he said,"Do you think my disease is consumption?" |
34038 | The neighbors, almost as weak as herself, would come in and say:"Why do n''t your doctor give such or such a thing? |
34038 | The rest of the family drank freely of the water, why did not they sicken as well as we? |
34038 | The thought struck me as quickly as the imaginary blow did-- have I not taken the disease? |
34038 | Their appeals were not wholly ineffective; indeed, what else could have been expected? |
34038 | There was no other surgeon within a reasonable distance, and why should I refuse to do my best for him? |
34038 | These young doctors, just from the schools, what can they know, the best of them?" |
34038 | They admitted the danger of such cases generally; but how could the boy be injured, and not the rest of them? |
34038 | This he called rheumatism; but was it so? |
34038 | This was, in no trifling degree, an educational process; for is it not well known that,"Teaching we learn, and giving we retain?" |
34038 | This, however, neither interested me much nor encouraged me; for( reader will you believe it? |
34038 | True, she asked after the first swallow,"what will the doctor say to this?" |
34038 | Under such circumstances what ground was there for hope? |
34038 | WHO HATH WOE? |
34038 | WHO HATH WOE? |
34038 | Was I not his follower? |
34038 | Was all this the result of mere accident? |
34038 | Was he with"birds of a feather?" |
34038 | Was it a hasty or forced one? |
34038 | Was it any thing, I said to myself, which was imbibed or received from the mother? |
34038 | Was it safe, in my present condition, to run the risk? |
34038 | Was it strange even, if I approached at times, the very borders of despair? |
34038 | Was it, then, safe for me to go? |
34038 | Was not such a trial almost too great? |
34038 | Was there any absolute gain in the end? |
34038 | Was there any great risk in trying one? |
34038 | Was there room, then, for a single gleam of hope? |
34038 | Was there, now an opportunity? |
34038 | We asked her if she could think of any other physician that she would like to see? |
34038 | Were not, then, all my difficulties practically overcome, at least prospectively? |
34038 | What am I to eat this winter-- next spring-- next summer? |
34038 | What could be done without it? |
34038 | What could be the cause? |
34038 | What could be the possible cause, I often asked myself, of this downward tendency? |
34038 | What do they mean by it? |
34038 | What do you mean? |
34038 | What evidence then was there that it had been useful now? |
34038 | What food shall I be obliged to avoid to keep my passions in check? |
34038 | What if it had given offence? |
34038 | What kind of meats? |
34038 | What kinds of meat and fish will do for me to eat? |
34038 | What knew they about precocity and its effects on the after life? |
34038 | What more could have been possible? |
34038 | What more could my friends have expected? |
34038 | What more or greater could I have asked? |
34038 | What next? |
34038 | What now should I do? |
34038 | What should now be done? |
34038 | What though the forcing plan seems to have succeeded quite happily in my own case? |
34038 | What, then, I repeat it, can these things mean? |
34038 | What, then, let us inquire, is that meaning? |
34038 | What, then, were the agencies employed in the air- cure? |
34038 | What_ kind_ of puddings, pies, and cake will answer? |
34038 | When a disease is destined by_ Nature_ to be long, do we very often materially diminish it?" |
34038 | When life is threatened, do we very often save it? |
34038 | When will it be fully and practically received? |
34038 | Who has not observed the difference, amid a general conflagration, between a most perfect stillness and a blustering or windy moment? |
34038 | Why can I not declare independence of all external remedial agents, and throw myself wholly on nature and nature''s God? |
34038 | Why do you so strongly object to cream toasts, or cream on bread? |
34038 | Why might not I? |
34038 | Why must I, at the early age of twenty- eight, be doomed to tread the long road of decline and death? |
34038 | Why not annihilate it at once?" |
34038 | Why should it not? |
34038 | Why this deposit of an article so doubtful? |
34038 | Why, the whole world-- I mean the whole civilized world-- use it; and do they all have stiff knees?" |
34038 | Why, then, did I not call on some inquiring and highly experienced physician? |
34038 | Why, then, may not children sometimes kill their parents? |
34038 | Why, then, should I not persevere? |
34038 | Why, then, was it made an adjunct, and more than an adjunct, in the first promulgation of the gospel, and this, too, by the gospel''s divine Author? |
34038 | Why, what is our object in salting down butter? |
34038 | Why, what rational man in the world will believe that a little coffee, once a day, will entail upon a person severe rheumatism?" |
34038 | Will a little plain sauce do with my supper? |
34038 | Will you allow me to eat any simple thing between meals?" |
34038 | Will you not answer me soon, and give me your opinion on this and other subjects? |
34038 | Would it not be the part of wisdom to meet them now, rather than postpone? |
34038 | Would it not be well for you to take charge of something or of somebody? |
34038 | Would it not otherwise soon become acid and disagreeable? |
34038 | Would not the prospect of doing good, rather than of giving offence, have been worth something? |
34038 | Would not this have greatly added to the severity of the disease? |
34038 | Would there, in the latter case, have been no hazard to the constitution? |
34038 | Yet if they are endangered who are least predisposed to this or any other disease, where is the safety of those who inherit such a predisposition? |
34038 | Yet what could I do in the premises? |
34038 | Yet, in the progress of society towards a more perfect millennial state of things, must it not come? |
34038 | and suffer you to go on sinning?" |
34038 | do you know?" |
34038 | for, practically, the great question was,_ cui bono_? |
34038 | have you tried it?" |
34038 | how can these doctors wish to starve folks? |
34038 | is it Satan himself? |
34038 | is it not to trifle with the most solemn considerations? |
34038 | now go on to woe irretrievable? |
34038 | or, are they not the heaven- appointed penalties of transgression? |
34946 | ''Oo the''ell arst yer to? |
34946 | ''Ow many dead chickens are there, Sammy? |
34946 | A doctor? |
34946 | Ai n''t nobody drunk? |
34946 | And corrosive sublimate? |
34946 | And has the Chief''s wife slept well? |
34946 | And is not this the Chief''s hut? |
34946 | And is the Chief''s wife pleased with the new shawl chosen by Sikoro as a gift from the Chief to his wife? |
34946 | And that your partner had been killed and your cattle taken away? |
34946 | And the slaves of her house, have they slept well? |
34946 | And what''s in all these pill boxes? 34946 And why,"said Sikoro,"do you sit on the Chief''s mat?" |
34946 | And you will yourself die to- night? |
34946 | Any cattle dead? |
34946 | Any luck? |
34946 | Are n''t you a professional? |
34946 | Are not the things in the basket yours? |
34946 | Are not those others dead? |
34946 | Are they not drums? |
34946 | Are you Lizizi? |
34946 | Are you going to build it, Morena? |
34946 | Are you indeed the Great Doctor? |
34946 | Are you out of your bath? |
34946 | Are you ready to start? 34946 Are you ready?" |
34946 | Are you sure you are on the right track? |
34946 | Been here long? |
34946 | But what are they all for? |
34946 | But, Morena--"Well? |
34946 | But,I said,"who do you expect to buy in a place like this? |
34946 | Can a man have too much money or too many guns? |
34946 | Can you kill people by means of charms and medicines? |
34946 | Can you make good stemalas? |
34946 | Certainly not, but who are the other two? |
34946 | Certainly, but will it fit you? |
34946 | Come far to- day? |
34946 | Corrosive sublimate? 34946 Could I learn it?" |
34946 | Could you build a stemala for me? |
34946 | Did I do that? |
34946 | Did he also tell you that the Barushu had risen? |
34946 | Did it take you long to learn? |
34946 | Did n''t I find him lightheaded? |
34946 | Did they threaten to kill you? |
34946 | Did you catch all those? |
34946 | Did you do anything to prevent the Barushu from taking your cattle? |
34946 | Did you see the hyena? |
34946 | Did you see the train, Jimmy? |
34946 | Did you send that message to the servants of the white men, saying that they were not to work? |
34946 | Do n''t you? 34946 Do you drink it?" |
34946 | Do you kill snakes when you see them? |
34946 | Do you mean to say you fired the thing into the air? |
34946 | Do you mean,pursued William,"that I am a free man?" |
34946 | Do you think you hit him? |
34946 | Do you? 34946 Done to it?" |
34946 | Found anything? |
34946 | Good, and then? |
34946 | Good, many of them? |
34946 | Great? |
34946 | Had n''t he spun me some queer yarns? |
34946 | Have another? |
34946 | Have another? |
34946 | Have they killed your partner? |
34946 | Have you any nitrate of potash, doctor? |
34946 | Have you eaten this morning? |
34946 | Have you ever seen one? |
34946 | Have you ever shot a lion? |
34946 | Have you got a job? |
34946 | Have you not given me back my life? |
34946 | How are you this morning? |
34946 | How could I? 34946 How did I find the old man?" |
34946 | How did you do it? |
34946 | How did you get through? |
34946 | How do you do? 34946 How do you use it?" |
34946 | How long have you been here? |
34946 | How many go with me? |
34946 | How many wives have you? |
34946 | How on earth do you do it? |
34946 | How should I know the Morena''s thoughts? |
34946 | How should I know? 34946 How the devil do you suppose I could see to shoot in this pitch darkness?" |
34946 | How? |
34946 | How? |
34946 | Hullo, Soames, what are you doing here in my patch of country? |
34946 | Hurt? 34946 I do n''t know, why?" |
34946 | I expect so; why? |
34946 | I have told you that the Barushu are up, that they----Wrenshaw interrupted the man:"Did you see his dead body?" |
34946 | I hope you have slept well? |
34946 | I should say not, but where does he live? |
34946 | If I receive a gift from a man, must I not give one in return? 34946 In that hole?" |
34946 | Iodine, what''s that for? |
34946 | Iodine? 34946 Iodine? |
34946 | Is anyone at home? |
34946 | Is he dead? |
34946 | Is it a game? |
34946 | Is it a very hard game? |
34946 | Is not Chiromo a doctor? |
34946 | Is not that the Chief''s new shawl? |
34946 | Is not the stemala made of iron? |
34946 | Is that your basket? |
34946 | Is the fellow deaf as well as a brainless idiot? |
34946 | Is there anything you want besides nitrate of potash? |
34946 | Is there going to be a rising? |
34946 | Is this the fellow who has been making the white man''s stemala? |
34946 | It is late, what do you want? |
34946 | It is only that I wanted to know, for has not the Morena been absent for a great many days? |
34946 | Look''ere, you snip, wot''ave I told yer? 34946 Looking for one?" |
34946 | Lose any cattle in the thirst country? |
34946 | May I come, too? |
34946 | Morena, what day is it to- day? |
34946 | Morena, what day is it to- day? |
34946 | Morena,he said,"what is to- day?" |
34946 | Nanzela the Barushu? |
34946 | No violence, I hope? |
34946 | No, what? |
34946 | None of these things are yours? |
34946 | Now then, you, what do you want? |
34946 | Of what do you accuse Chiromo? |
34946 | Oh no,said the boy,"but what is the number of the day?" |
34946 | Oh, it''s a servy- yet yer want, is it? 34946 Oh, so you wondered, did you?" |
34946 | Oh, so you''re the magistrate, are you? |
34946 | One day one said:''Are we not tired of making clothes? 34946 One more question: who told you that the Barushu had beaten the police?" |
34946 | Pills? 34946 Poor old Rogers,"they said,"who would have thought it? |
34946 | Right, but what are you going to do to them? |
34946 | Rogers drunk? |
34946 | Shall I mark out the head skin for you, Sir? 34946 So I have killed your bull for you, have I?" |
34946 | So it seems, but what''s the matter with your hands, with your coat? |
34946 | Sorry, are you? 34946 Stop,"said the Commissioner,"what are your plans?" |
34946 | That do n''t matter,replied Hobday,"you two fellows take sides, I''ll do top and bottom; our partners-- well, they''re in England, do n''t you see?" |
34946 | That is true, but if a man builds a hut as high as Heaven, is not a pole necessary? |
34946 | The King of all the white men? |
34946 | The Missionaries? 34946 The train''s in and nobody drunk? |
34946 | Then Chiromo took hold of my son''s arm at the elbow and said:''Do you feel pain here?'' 34946 Then Chiromo took hold of my son''s leg just above the knee, like this, and said:''Do you feel pain here?'' |
34946 | Then Chiromo took hold of my son''s other knee and said:''Do you feel pain here?'' 34946 Then you did n''t see them kill him?" |
34946 | Then you have some more? |
34946 | To- morrow? |
34946 | War drums? |
34946 | Was n''t it? |
34946 | Was that the messenger I saw in the compound? |
34946 | Well, I''d better go and look out for-- what did you say his name was? |
34946 | Well, ai n''t you goin''to get drunk on it? |
34946 | Well, what are you going to do about it? |
34946 | Well, what did you want me to do? |
34946 | Well, will you sell us up? |
34946 | Well? |
34946 | Well? |
34946 | What are the messages? |
34946 | What are the news, my Chief? |
34946 | What are the others? |
34946 | What are you doing here? |
34946 | What are you doing here? |
34946 | What are you doing now, honest man? |
34946 | What are you doing to these children? |
34946 | What are you doing, honest man? |
34946 | What are you drinkin'', might I ask? |
34946 | What are you going to do? |
34946 | What did he say? |
34946 | What did they kill him with? |
34946 | What did you come for? |
34946 | What did you tell the other boys to do? |
34946 | What did you? |
34946 | What do you mean, the day of the month or of the week, and why do you ask? |
34946 | What do you mean? |
34946 | What do you think of my house, my friend? |
34946 | What does the white man use stemalas for? |
34946 | What for? |
34946 | What for? |
34946 | What for? |
34946 | What is in the basket? |
34946 | What is that sound? |
34946 | What is the number of the day to- day? |
34946 | What is their message? |
34946 | What is this? |
34946 | What is this? |
34946 | What is your name? |
34946 | What of it? |
34946 | What of that? |
34946 | What the devil are you doing, you damned young fool? 34946 What the devil did you let fly for?" |
34946 | What then? |
34946 | What was it all about? |
34946 | What will be done with him? |
34946 | What will he do? |
34946 | What''s that? |
34946 | What''s that? |
34946 | What''s the matter with the natives? |
34946 | What''s the matter? 34946 What''s this?" |
34946 | What''s up? |
34946 | What? 34946 When a man builds a small hut, is a pole from the ground to the roof necessary?" |
34946 | Where are the cattle now? |
34946 | Where does he live? |
34946 | Where is Lizizi? |
34946 | Where is he now? |
34946 | Where is he now? |
34946 | Where is he? |
34946 | Where is he? |
34946 | Where is your wife? |
34946 | Where''s there, you fool? |
34946 | Where? 34946 Where?" |
34946 | Where? |
34946 | Where? |
34946 | Where? |
34946 | Where? |
34946 | Where? |
34946 | Where? |
34946 | Whisky or gin, sir? |
34946 | Who accuses this man of law- breaking? |
34946 | Who are you? |
34946 | Who can tell? |
34946 | Who forbids you? |
34946 | Who is Lizizi? |
34946 | Who is it? |
34946 | Who is this slave? |
34946 | Who is this who brings ivory? |
34946 | Who the hell are you shovin''? |
34946 | Who then will build this bridge? |
34946 | Who was in charge of the cattle? |
34946 | Who''s Lizizi? |
34946 | Who''s Lizizi? |
34946 | Why ca n''t you work to- day? |
34946 | Why do n''t you kill the wretched rat? |
34946 | Why do the Barushu carry their assegais in their toes to- day? |
34946 | Why do you bring the dead man to me? |
34946 | Why my cook? |
34946 | Why should I? 34946 Why the hell did n''t you answer my shots?" |
34946 | Why, indeed? |
34946 | Why? |
34946 | Why? |
34946 | Will not the Missionaries prevent it? |
34946 | Will the Great Doctor help me with medicines? 34946 Will you please ask him what this great occasion is of which he is going to sing?" |
34946 | Will you teach me? |
34946 | Will you tell the Commissioner? |
34946 | With his people? |
34946 | Wo n''t eat''em, wo n''t yer? |
34946 | Wot, yer do n''t like''em, do n''t yer? |
34946 | Would you like to hear some African music, Sir? |
34946 | Yer wo n''t? |
34946 | Yes, and you? |
34946 | Yes, why not? 34946 Yes,"said Warner vaguely,"but who are you?" |
34946 | Yes; can you give me some clean kit? |
34946 | You have worked for a white man? |
34946 | You hit a bull? |
34946 | You mean you have a sore throat? |
34946 | You see this? |
34946 | You want some medicine for it? |
34946 | You wo n''t give me away? |
34946 | You wo n''t tell the other two? |
34946 | You wo n''t work to- day? |
34946 | Your shots? |
34946 | Your what? |
34946 | ''Ave some bully?" |
34946 | ''Ow many died yesterday and''ow many did yer find dead this mornin''?" |
34946 | Addressing Chiromo, the official asked:"Is it true that you are the killer of people?" |
34946 | All things being equal in sport, and rank apart, and as man to man, to whom belonged the skin? |
34946 | Almost the first question she asked was:"Oh, have you any tobacco? |
34946 | Am I to be shamed? |
34946 | And had not the case- bearer of yesterday said:"Chiromo has the skin of a black tsipa?" |
34946 | And supposing they did wipe him out, what then? |
34946 | And the third thing? |
34946 | And what do you use chlorodyne for?" |
34946 | And what is in this funny little box marked''Sovereign Remedy''?" |
34946 | And what''s nitrate of potash for?" |
34946 | And where''s my plug?" |
34946 | And why not two hundred and fifty right arms and two hundred and fifty left; or why not all right or all left? |
34946 | And you?" |
34946 | Any you can spare, I mean?" |
34946 | At length Warner asked the question point blank:"How is your wife?" |
34946 | Before William could explain that he did n''t drink, the barman said:"I know his poison, do n''t I, Bill?" |
34946 | But Black? |
34946 | But did she care? |
34946 | But how could an ex- ink- slinger be expected to have any horse- sense to do anything requiring a glimmer of intelligence? |
34946 | But what are these to a life?" |
34946 | But what do black people know or care about qualifications? |
34946 | But what of the man? |
34946 | But why do you ask?" |
34946 | Can a man smile who is in pain? |
34946 | Coming across to my table, he winked heavily, and said in a hoarse stage- whisper:"P''raps you''ve''eard a bloke say that afore?" |
34946 | Corrosive sublimate? |
34946 | Could I mend a shot- gun? |
34946 | Could it mean anything of importance and, if so, what? |
34946 | Did I bury Mobita? |
34946 | Did I not take the thundering smoke from a certain person? |
34946 | Did he not give medicine to all who asked for it, no matter what the disease might be? |
34946 | Did he not hate this woman for her overbearing pride? |
34946 | Did n''t you recognise me at once?" |
34946 | Did n''t you see the train come in to- day?" |
34946 | Did not some of those to whom he gave medicine recover? |
34946 | Did not the doctors know it, and had they not all moved to a safer place? |
34946 | Did she care enough to make her home with him in this rough country? |
34946 | Did you hear that?" |
34946 | Do n''t we, Black?" |
34946 | Do not the people say so? |
34946 | Do you hear, woman? |
34946 | Do you know Hobday? |
34946 | Do you not like the things my people use? |
34946 | Do you play?" |
34946 | Do you remember our last dance? |
34946 | Does he not jump into the river and come out alive on the third day?" |
34946 | Does he not make all men well? |
34946 | Does not a smile mean pleasure? |
34946 | Entering the tent Wrenshaw asked:"What''s your name?" |
34946 | Ever seen a ruby? |
34946 | Fish? |
34946 | Five hundred wretched monkeys-- and what for? |
34946 | For many a day the natives of Kazungula commanded a ready audience anywhere in the country, for had not they, and they alone, seen white men at play? |
34946 | Gone to lunch, eh?" |
34946 | Good Heavens, what was the matter with that bull? |
34946 | Good man; so he had caught some that very evening? |
34946 | Had I a drop of good Scotch? |
34946 | Had he ever asked anyone for payment? |
34946 | Had he seen a lion? |
34946 | Had n''t he talked of that kind of thing?" |
34946 | Had not his trusted servant declared that the egg had cost sixpence? |
34946 | Had not she and Miyobo fooled him more than once, and had it not been the merest chance which had delivered them into his hand? |
34946 | Had not the doctor killed the boy in a strange way? |
34946 | Had she seen any? |
34946 | Had the driver seen the lion? |
34946 | Have I not killed many in battle? |
34946 | Have you had warning of it?" |
34946 | He presently became aware that there was something strange about them; what was it? |
34946 | He referred to his feet as,"My goot luck, is n''t it?" |
34946 | He said:"Are you the magistrate of these parts?" |
34946 | He simply said:"Can either of you gentlemen fix this up for me?" |
34946 | He stopped and, addressing the old, old man, said:"What are you doing here?" |
34946 | He thought the old man had been saying"How do you do?" |
34946 | How do you know he''s dead?" |
34946 | How many men in a thousand had heard native African music? |
34946 | How many? |
34946 | How should he end it? |
34946 | In the meantime, what about the ravages of the white ant? |
34946 | Is it against the law for the Chief''s slave to hunt elephants for the Chief?" |
34946 | Is it not the custom that a gift shall be received with a gift? |
34946 | Is n''t that so, Black?" |
34946 | Is that you, Exchange? |
34946 | Is the thing a ghost? |
34946 | It was late, nearly eight o''clock; what the deuce were his people about? |
34946 | Mine''s a gin and tonic; what''s the boy goin''to drink?" |
34946 | Mr. Williams, was this bull hit before I killed him?" |
34946 | Nitrate of potash? |
34946 | No answer from Mr. Barble? |
34946 | No doubt the sport which he had planned to provide would be excellent, but what about the evenings spent round the camp fire after dinner? |
34946 | No witch doctor could practise for long in his district, for was not his medicine stronger than that of any witch doctor? |
34946 | No, not out of a ring? |
34946 | Now what did I think they should pay him for showing them where the ruby mine was? |
34946 | Now why is it, I wonder, that old men ca n''t come quickly to the point? |
34946 | Pills?" |
34946 | Plenty he wanted to say, but what more could he say? |
34946 | Pointing to the bangles on the woman''s arm, Sikoro asked:"What are you doing with the Chief''s ivory?" |
34946 | Private Hay, if awake, said nothing, whilst his companion in arms muttered:"What''s up?" |
34946 | Shall I shoot?" |
34946 | Soup, fish, chickens, the cold pig''s head and a hot plum pudding; what more could two men want? |
34946 | Stalking him, were they? |
34946 | Suddenly Lindsay said:"Why should n''t we have a dance? |
34946 | Surely a big bull accompanied such a herd of cows? |
34946 | Surely the fool was n''t going to die? |
34946 | Tell them? |
34946 | The Chief addressed Moyo:"Tell me, old man, what mischief was in your heart when last you left my village?" |
34946 | The Commissioner, who was a good linguist, addressed the seated man direct:"So you have killed a man?" |
34946 | The dogs began to bark loudly but it did n''t matter now: was he not a stranger travelling from Sijoba to Katora? |
34946 | The end? |
34946 | The making of this very primitive out- station occupied less than a couple of days, and then the question,"What the devil shall we do now?" |
34946 | The question"Have another?" |
34946 | The simple people became impatient to pay their tax; was not the white man also playing this new game? |
34946 | Then there was the half- caste at the fire; well, after all, what could two men do against so many? |
34946 | Then to Rogers,"What about your drink?" |
34946 | Then----"What will you bet?" |
34946 | They build this bridge from the north bank and from the south, but where is the pole to hold up the roof of the bridge?" |
34946 | They do not know and may not know for many days, and anyhow, what could they do?" |
34946 | To all Mkuni held forth:"Am not I an old man now? |
34946 | Turning to his companion, he said:"You''d like a hot bath, would n''t you?" |
34946 | Upset Rogers''drink, have you? |
34946 | Was he communicating in some strange way with the absent Commissioner? |
34946 | Was he making medicine with which to harm the people? |
34946 | Was n''t Warner always accessible? |
34946 | We both said we could, and both asked:"But what about the lioness?" |
34946 | Well, I could n''t help him in the matter of the gun, so what was the next thing? |
34946 | Well, is n''t this the very first train to get here from the South?" |
34946 | What could it all mean? |
34946 | What could the mystery be? |
34946 | What did it mean? |
34946 | What do you want it for?" |
34946 | What does it matter how many people I have; does not the Government want money, and is it not right that I should give all I have to the Government?" |
34946 | What else was there? |
34946 | What have I, a very poor man, of value equal to the life which the Doctor has given back to me? |
34946 | What is there?" |
34946 | What more was there to say? |
34946 | What on earth have you done to the thing?" |
34946 | What sport had the Commissioner had? |
34946 | What was the trap? |
34946 | What was there for dinner? |
34946 | What would not that great traveller and hunter, Gordon Cumming, have given for what amounts to a portable soda- water factory? |
34946 | What would they say to the Commissioner on his return? |
34946 | What, then, shall I give to the Great Doctor? |
34946 | What? |
34946 | When?" |
34946 | Where the devil had that sovereign gone to? |
34946 | Where the devil is he? |
34946 | Where was the bull? |
34946 | Where''s the brush?" |
34946 | Who accused this man?" |
34946 | Who are you to speak of fighting? |
34946 | Who can say what fair forms and faces they saw there? |
34946 | Who goes there?" |
34946 | Who had left his beat and jumped their claim? |
34946 | Who is Mobita? |
34946 | Who then knows so much of the building of bridges as I?" |
34946 | Who was this poaching? |
34946 | Who, then, could have done this killing by witchcraft? |
34946 | Who, then, was the intruder? |
34946 | Why not a pill? |
34946 | Why not write to her? |
34946 | Why not?" |
34946 | Why on earth did Randall collect monkeys? |
34946 | Why run unnecessary risk? |
34946 | Why, then, are you afraid?" |
34946 | Why?" |
34946 | Will not the Great Doctor kill this sickness? |
34946 | Will you have a sparklet with it or do you prefer water?" |
34946 | Will you have water or a sparklet with your gin?" |
34946 | William blinked at Joe during this harangue, and then quietly asked:"Do I understand you to mean, Joe, that I''m sacked?" |
34946 | Wo n''t you have one?" |
34946 | Wo n''t you have some supper?" |
34946 | Wot''ave I kep''on tellin''yer? |
34946 | Would a couple of hundred be a fair thing? |
34946 | Would she care? |
34946 | Would the darned things never come? |
34946 | Would the man never come out? |
34946 | Wrenshaw got some paper and an indelible pencil and began: MY FRIEND... At this he stuck for a long time; what on earth could he write about? |
34946 | Yes, it was"Da- wi- ni"; was not that the hole in his beak which the angry greyhound made? |
34946 | Yes, this surely was Chiromo; did he not wear, suspended from a string round his waist, the skin of a black tsipa cat? |
34946 | You do n''t drink and you wo n''t take good money?" |
34946 | You do n''t mean to say that you fired the thing off with the plug in it?" |
34946 | You know where the Gwai River runs into the Zambesi?" |
34946 | You say they have taken your cattle; how many?" |
34946 | You''ll want to keep this head?" |
34946 | asked Gonye, and added--"May I come in?" |
34946 | where is that lion? |
15667 | ''Going to leave?'' 15667 ''What for?'' |
15667 | ''With what hand did you do it?'' 15667 A beggar woman whined at the window:"''Could ye give me a trifle for a cup of coffee, lady?'' |
15667 | A purty good- sized one, is it, Bud? |
15667 | A wish? |
15667 | After thinking it over for twelve months,said Kitchener,"you still wish to marry?" |
15667 | Ai n''t what nice? |
15667 | All the people in the bank? |
15667 | An elopement, eh? 15667 And did you actually go to Rome?" |
15667 | And how did it turn out? |
15667 | And how old is your little boy, madam, please? |
15667 | And now does n''t he threaten to split your head with an ax? |
15667 | And what is the name of your country? |
15667 | And what made you think he was intoxicated? |
15667 | And what,he asked, having spent a whole afternoon changing the goldfishes''water,"shall I do now, sir?" |
15667 | And where did you hide it? |
15667 | And which is the foreman? |
15667 | And who, monsieur,he queried in a tender tone,"shall I have the misery of announcing?" |
15667 | And you lost the cat all right? |
15667 | And you want to get married again, with your wife only two months dead? |
15667 | And you would rather talk to a gentleman? |
15667 | And,queried a cynical member of the group,"shall we mention the name of the trust?" |
15667 | Anything going on here to- night? |
15667 | Are you going away? |
15667 | At ony rate ye''ll be a frien''o''the corp? |
15667 | Bigger than General Grant? |
15667 | Bigger than God? |
15667 | Bigger than President Wilson? |
15667 | Bill,said the younger brother, breaking a painful silence,"why ca n''t you leave things that you do n''t understand to me? |
15667 | But I''m not one, am I? |
15667 | But did they not belong to some bird? |
15667 | But do n''t you think he was a little weak around the lamp- posts? |
15667 | But how do you know one is an officer at this distance? |
15667 | But it is broken? |
15667 | But suppose,suggested the thirsty passenger,"that the train should go on without me?" |
15667 | But when do you do your literary work? |
15667 | But you do n''t expect to get it, do you? |
15667 | But, Mollie,she demanded,"do n''t you trust him?" |
15667 | But, Mr. Reynolds, suppose there should be no waiters and cab drivers at the conference? |
15667 | But, Sandy, man,objected the host,"ye''re not goin''yet, with the evenin''just started?" |
15667 | By the way,said the chief life- saver,"can you swim?" |
15667 | Caddy,he said, addressing the silent youth who stood alongside,"that was awful, was n''t it?" |
15667 | Columbus did n''t do such a wonderful thing, after all, when he found this country, did he, now, sir? 15667 Could n''t you go back and come from somewhere else?" |
15667 | Could you be President? |
15667 | Could you not have settled your differences by a peaceful discussion of the matter, calling in the assistance of unprejudiced opinion, if need be? |
15667 | Did I not tell you not to leave your post? |
15667 | Did he run? |
15667 | Did he take them back? |
15667 | Did n''t we say that after your wedding tour you would make your home at the Old Manse? |
15667 | Did you ever see a worse player than I am? |
15667 | Dis heyah registrashum fo''de draf''am a whole lot like''lection votin'', ai n''t it? |

15667 | Do you like Omar Khayyam? |
15667 | Do you like it? |
15667 | Do you mean it? |
15667 | Do you really believe,he asked her,"that there is no salvation outside of the Roman Catholic Church?" |
15667 | Do you think so? 15667 Do you think that I am going to let any foreigner lick me?" |
15667 | Do you want oysters, Louise? |
15667 | Do you wish me to read it first, sir? |
15667 | Enjoy my meals? |
15667 | Even if I am a liar I guess I''ve got a right to be sensitive about it, ai n''t I? |
15667 | Fadder,he asked,"is marriage a failure?" |
15667 | Father,asked Prince Edward, placing his finger on the Colonel''s picture,"Mr. Roosevelt is a very clever man, is n''t he?" |
15667 | Gifted? |
15667 | Go South, eh? 15667 Has any one seen my b- b- blanket?" |
15667 | Has any one seen my t- t- trousers? |
15667 | Has he had his hair cut? |
15667 | Has n''t he choked you into insensibility? |
15667 | Has n''t he dragged you the length of the room by your hair? |
15667 | Have n''t I a perfect right? |
15667 | Have you ever tried gargling it with salt and water? |
15667 | Have you had any nourishment? |
15667 | He cain''t-- yo''says he cain''t work? |
15667 | Hi, there, who are you? |
15667 | Hold- all? |
15667 | How about Macaulay, the greatest essayist in England, and Homer, the prince of ancient poets, with seven birthplaces? 15667 How about the cavalry?" |
15667 | How can that be,continued the storekeeper,"when it was cured only last week?" |
15667 | How could you expect me to have any respect for a man who could not succeed in preventing me from doing the things I did? |
15667 | How dare you, sir, abuse our hospitality? |
15667 | How did you know what was the matter with me? |
15667 | How do you manage to get it all in? |
15667 | How goes it? |
15667 | How is it,she snapped,"that you''re so unlucky at the races, and yet you always win at cards?" |
15667 | How many are there? |
15667 | How much do I owe you? |
15667 | How much does it cost now? |
15667 | How much money do you want? |
15667 | How''s yours? |
15667 | I presume you carry a memento of some kind in that locket you wear? |
15667 | I suppose you have such a thing? |
15667 | I suppose,said Mr. Root,"you speak French?" |
15667 | If my learned friend, counsel for the defence, and myself were to bang our heads together, would he get concussion of the brain? |
15667 | If you should see an armed party approaching, what would you do? |
15667 | Is he going to stay? |
15667 | Is n''t he gifted in any way? |
15667 | Is that true? |
15667 | Is the young lady your sister? |
15667 | Is this a good one? |
15667 | Is your husband in? |
15667 | It did n''t hurt as much as you expected it would, did it? |
15667 | It''s only half- past eight now, and John never did show up till about three A.M.WHY NOT? |
15667 | John,said Dickson,"you enjoyed it?" |
15667 | John,she said to the manservant,"can you find out without asking the cook whether the tinned salmon was all eaten last night? |
15667 | Joseph, where are you? |
15667 | Just so, Winterbottom, just so,said the treasurer, and he cleared his throat and added:"Both treated well, I hope?" |
15667 | Kind sir,he suddenly exclaimed,"will you not give me a loaf of bread for my wife and little ones?" |
15667 | Married? 15667 Mary,"he said to the Irish waitress at the hotel where he was stopping,"you''ve been in this country how long?" |
15667 | Mommer,he panted,"do you know Archie Sloan''s neck?" |
15667 | My dear sir, what more do you want? |
15667 | Naw, sah, naw, sah, you ai n''t one; but s''pose somebody''d call you de kind o''rascal you_ is_, what''d you do? |
15667 | Nay, nay, Andy,answered the good spouse;"I couldna''marry anither man, fer whit wull I daw wi''twa husbands in heaven?" |
15667 | No, I''m no''a brither o''the corp."Weel, ye''ll be his cousin? |
15667 | No, what was it? |
15667 | Not a fast liver, or anything of that sort? |
15667 | Not a word had passed between us for more than a week, and that night when we rolled up in our blankets he suddenly asked:''Hear that cow beller?'' |
15667 | Not at all"Possibly you did? |
15667 | Nothing else? |
15667 | Now, then,continued the teacher when Jimmy had returned to his place,"can you find a better form for that sentence?" |
15667 | Oh, Mr. Dunne,she twittered,"how did you enjoy the madame''s dancing?" |
15667 | Oh, she broke it? |
15667 | Please, ma''am,Edgar piped out,"do you want us to draw a hen or a rooster?" |
15667 | Pleathe, thir,lisped the latest graduate from the infant class,"where ith the flea?" |
15667 | Razor? |
15667 | Really? |
15667 | Remember the laughing hyena? |
15667 | Run? |
15667 | Say, conductor,he whispered, hoarsely,"did that man I was talking to get off at the last station?" |
15667 | Sick, eh? |
15667 | Stranger in the town, sir? |
15667 | Tell me, Number One,he said,"how many men are there in that trench- digging party over there?" |
15667 | The camel, eh? 15667 The old gentleman was very dear to you?" |
15667 | Then how do you know his funeral is going to take place on Friday? |
15667 | Then would you mind telling me who it was? |
15667 | Then, mother,said the boy,"why ca n''t I keep that ten cents a week you gimme for the Sunday- school collection? |
15667 | This very mornin'',said he,"she asked me:''Lysander, do you know how many pancakes you have et this mornin''?'' |
15667 | Tompkins,he whispered,"is it trembling you are for your dirty skin?" |
15667 | Toothbrush? |
15667 | Twelve o''clock, eh? |
15667 | Was it you I kissed in the conservatory last night? |
15667 | Water''s all on the outside-- can''t none get in nohow? |
15667 | We did n''t do a thing to you Germans, did we? 15667 Well, Aunt Mary, how did you spend this afternoon?" |

15667 | Well, Rena? |
15667 | Well, are n''t you? |
15667 | Well, did Cousin Nick have anything to do with it? |
15667 | Well, did n''t he do you any good? |
15667 | Well, do n''t you know? 15667 Well, now,"said Ian Hay,"is n''t that provoking? |
15667 | Well, then, what is going to become of me? |
15667 | Well, what impressed you most? |
15667 | Well, why not? |
15667 | Well, you are one, are n''t you? |
15667 | Well, you do n''t seem to be dead; what are you doing around here? |
15667 | Well,countered Mr. Wu,"why do you wear your foolish moustache?" |
15667 | Well,said the dentist,"how can I tell when he''s unconscious?" |

15667 | Would you mind,asked the agent,"giving me a little testimonial to that effect?" |
15667 | Ye ken auld John Clemmens? 15667 Yes, sir,"said the recruit, in a voice of cool desperation,"and do you know that this is an anthill?" |
15667 | Yes, sir; did you lose anything? |

15667 | A DEEP- LAID PLAN"Would you mind letting me off fifteen minutes early after this, sir?" |
15667 | A LONG STORY"May I ask the cause of all this excitement?" |
15667 | A dapper little undersized colored brother stepped briskly up and inquired,"What kind of a lookin''lady_ is_ yoh wife?" |
15667 | A dramatic pause, then:"Now, gentlemen of the jury, do you honestly think that if the defendant had a quart of whiskey he would sell it?" |
15667 | A little boy''s mother in the congregation whispered to her son,"Is n''t it wonderful? |
15667 | AN ANGLOMANIAC"What are you studying now?" |
15667 | AN EXPERT"So,"said the old general,"you think you would make a good valet for an old wreck like me, do you? |
15667 | Abner, ai n''t that nice?" |
15667 | After some months of life in New York, a friend met him and said,"Henry, what are you doing?" |
15667 | After the farmer had driven on, the mother asked:"Why did n''t you take the cherries when he told you to?" |
15667 | After the old gentleman left the two sons came in and said:"Senator, are you fond of livestock?" |
15667 | After the usual preliminaries the judge inquired:"Why did you hit this man?" |
15667 | And may I ask who is that little man, with the dreadfully sad countenance, walking by the old lady''s side?" |
15667 | And one of them said breathlessly:"What have you been doing?" |
15667 | And that''s Cousin James, and that''s a friend of ours, and that-- oh, now, who do you think that is?" |
15667 | And where do you go?" |
15667 | Are ye sure yez printed''This side up with care''on it?" |
15667 | Are you aware, sir, what is the matter with this great country?" |
15667 | Are you suffering from indigestion, Johnny?" |
15667 | Art thou weary, art thou languid?'' |
15667 | As the conversation proceeded the New Yorker said:"I suppose you have always lived around here?" |
15667 | At a house where I was calling one cold day the fat and pompous butler entered the drawing- room and said:"''Did you ring, madam?'' |
15667 | At the end of the lesson the usual test questions were put, among them:"Can any girl tell me the three foods required to keep the body in health?" |

15667 | But, Jedge, s''pose somebody''d call you a damn black rascal, would n''t you hit''em?" |
15667 | But, look here, do you promise to give my nose-- er-- ideal beauty?" |
15667 | But, my dear, is n''t it worthwhile to learn something, even by making such a mistake?" |
15667 | By the way, which do you prefer, Dickens or Thackeray?" |
15667 | CAN THIS BE TRUE? |

38752 | John,she said,"when will the reign of ignorance and superstition end?" |

38752 | Swallowed benzine, did she? 38752 That long drive?" |
38752 | The baby''s better, is n''t it? |
38752 | The doctor has n''t come yet? |
38752 | The doctor,said the old man meditatively, as if wondering that anybody should be calling for him--"the doctor-- you mean Dr. Blank, I reckon?" |
38752 | Then how could she run it into the ground? |
38752 | Then it was all right? |
38752 | Then what in thunder did you send for me for? |
38752 | They wo n''t? 38752 They''re going to make day hideous and night lamented, are n''t they?" |
38752 | This is Mrs. Blank is it not? |
38752 | This is his--"Hello, what is it? |

38752 | Wo n''t, eh? |
38752 | Wo n''t_ you_ tell''i m to come down to Sairey Tucker''s? 38752 Worse tonight? |
38752 | Would n''t you like to go to the country? |
38752 | Would you give her any aromatic spirits of ammonia? |
38752 | Yes, what is it John? |
38752 | Yes..... Who is this?.... 38752 Yes?" |
38752 | You are at the office then? 38752 You did? |
38752 | You do n''t do it, do you? |
38752 | You do n''t think it will hurt me then? |
38752 | You got Mrs. Dorlan''s message did you? |
38752 | You have to go some place, do you? |
38752 | You make all the babies''dresses, do n''t you? |
38752 | You slice the onions and put sugar on them, do n''t you? |
38752 | You think he would? |
38752 | You''ll never, never tell if I do? |
38752 | You''re the doctor''s wife, ai n''t ye? |
38752 | Your harness is broken, have you got a string? |
38752 | _ Another_ patient? 38752 _ This_ is Dr. Blank''s office?" |
38752 | _ Well_, when will he be back? |
38752 | _ Where do you live!_"_ Where do you live?_"Well maybe it does. 38752 _ Where do you live?_""We live on Oak street." |
38752 | ''Mary,''he said in a helpless sort of way,''It struck_ seven_--what_ time_ is it?'' |
38752 | ''s compliment?" |
38752 | A giggle and a loud girlish voice in his ear asking,"Is this you, Nettie?" |
38752 | A lady''s voice was asking,"Who_ is_ this?" |
38752 | A quart?" |
38752 | A solemn voice asked,"Have you made your will?" |
38752 | A spirited dialogue was taking place between a young man and a maid:"Where_ are_ you, Jack?" |
38752 | A subdued voice asked,"What are you going to do now, Doctor?" |
38752 | About two o''clock there came a tragic pounding at the door and when the doctor went to open it a voice asked,"What''s the matter down here?" |
38752 | After some time Mary was awakened by her husband''s voice asking,"What is it?" |
38752 | And did n''t I hear you commanding Jack just the other day to take the hoe right out of the house and to go out the same door he came in?" |
38752 | And give her a spoonful of mustard-- anything to produce vomiting...... She has? |
38752 | And if, after waiting, he still failed to find the doctor? |
38752 | And not give him anything at all? |
38752 | And when at last he came her lips could hardly frame the question,"How is he, John?" |
38752 | Another little laugh,"You do n''t think it would?" |
38752 | Are you doing it? |
38752 | As he passed out the doctor stopped to inquire,"How''s that sore breast? |
38752 | As his wife went back to the kitchen her daughter called,"Mother, did you take the loaf of bread in there with you?" |
38752 | As they drove off she asked,"You came pretty near catching a tartar, did n''t you?" |
38752 | Blank''s?" |
38752 | Blank''s?" |
38752 | Blank''s?" |
38752 | Blank, do n''t you think red is God''s favorite color?'' |
38752 | Blank, do you know who the Hammell''s are?'' |
38752 | Blank, will you do me a great favor?'' |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Blank?" |
38752 | Brownson?" |
38752 | Brownson?" |
38752 | But I am very thirsty, might I have a glass of water?" |
38752 | But are good things about me so rare that you made a note of it?" |
38752 | But it was the voice of a friend and it surprised Mary with this question:"Mrs. Blank, if you were me would you have your daughter operated upon?" |
38752 | But what could she tell her? |
38752 | But what makes you think it is red?'' |
38752 | But what would be the use? |
38752 | But you might push a little on the brandy, or the strychnine-- how much brandy have you given her since I saw her?" |
38752 | By the way, Mr. Nelson, will you just''phone the doctor at the office, please? |
38752 | Can I begin giving him a little more today? |
38752 | Can he have some ice- cream for dinner? |
38752 | Can we move Henry out into the yard? |
38752 | Can we move Jennie into the house? |
38752 | Can you come up to my house right away?" |
38752 | Can you find out who it was?" |
38752 | Can you get him awake?" |
38752 | Come where?.... |
38752 | Could n''t you have taken the tent farther out?" |
38752 | Curtis?" |
38752 | Did she hear footsteps down the walk? |
38752 | Do n''t you know I have the reputation of being the meanest man in the county?" |
38752 | Do n''t you want to see how much she''s growed?" |
38752 | Do you remember me?" |
38752 | Do you remember that drive we took a week or two ago up north?" |
38752 | Do you suppose it''s a felon?.... |
38752 | Do you think I''d choose a day like this for a pleasure trip?" |
38752 | Do you think it would help my aunt?" |
38752 | Do you think she wo n''t have any more?" |
38752 | Do you think we will need any more?.... |
38752 | Do you understand?" |
38752 | Do you want to wait that long?" |
38752 | Do you_ have_ to?" |
38752 | Doctor, will it hurt Jennie to eat some tomatoes this morning-- she craves them so? |
38752 | Doctor, you know those pink tablets you left? |
38752 | Dorlan''s?" |
38752 | Down near Dyre''s? |
38752 | Father, mother and baby all doing well?" |
38752 | Felton?" |
38752 | For an instant the doctor did not speak; then he asked,"Are you sure that this is true?" |
38752 | Going, one morning, to speak to a friend about some little matter she heard her husband say:"What is it, doctor?" |
38752 | Going, one morning, to speak to a"Doctor, will it hurt the baby to bathe it every morning?" |
38752 | Had an occasion arisen now? |
38752 | Had some wild beast escaped from a passing menagerie and was it coming in to devour the household? |
38752 | Haig?" |
38752 | He curved one hand around his ear and said again,"Hey?" |
38752 | He rang and put the receiver to his ear:"Did you put your washin''out today?" |
38752 | He takes it down and hears a voice say leisurely,"D''ye get them?" |
38752 | Her companion looked at her and said,"Hey?" |
38752 | How are they to know? |
38752 | How did you_ do_ it?" |
38752 | How do you make it?" |
38752 | How does it happen I get the house?" |
38752 | How long will that morphine last?" |
38752 | How long will you be in the office this morning, Doctor?...... |
38752 | How many people do you know who want to see the new moon over the left shoulder? |
38752 | How much?... |
38752 | How old is he?" |
38752 | How soon do you think he will be back?" |
38752 | How would you like a star- light drive?" |
38752 | How''s the doctor?" |
38752 | Huntley?" |
38752 | I am young and you are growing old, Doctor, but will you take this word from me? |
38752 | I say on which side of Wilson''s mill?.... |
38752 | I suppose I can disconnect it but--""But you do n''t see how you can? |
38752 | I''ve been giving her digitalis; what do you think about that?" |
38752 | I''ve been"Doctor, will it hurt the baby to bathe it every morning? |
38752 | I''ve been"Likes to see it''s mamma?" |
38752 | If a woman has n''t a right to a night''s sleep once in awhile what_ is_ she entitled to?" |
38752 | If red is his favorite color why should he put it where it ca n''t be seen?'' |
38752 | In a minute a voice said,"What is it?" |
38752 | In a minute he exclaimed,"Say, Mary, what was the rest of that story?" |
38752 | In what way?" |
38752 | Is it a boy or a girl added to the world today?" |
38752 | Is n''t she pretty?" |
38752 | Is she suffering much?.... |
38752 | Is that all right?" |
38752 | Is there a''phone there?" |
38752 | Is there anyone here to do it?" |
38752 | It was Fanny, and he settled back on one elbow and asked,"What you doing, Fanny?" |
38752 | It was a woman''s voice asking,"How much of that gargle must I use at a time?" |
38752 | It''s a hurry call, is it? |
38752 | Lemonade wo n''t hurt Helen, will it? |
38752 | Mary listened with interest to what was to come:"?" |
38752 | Mary, from the living room, heard her husband''s voice:"What is it?" |
38752 | Milton?" |
38752 | Mrs. Dorlan''s on Brownson street, will you remember it?" |
38752 | Now what is it?" |
38752 | Of what was he thinking? |
38752 | On which side? |
38752 | Parkin?" |
38752 | Presently he said,"Mr. Stirling, will you come here a minute?" |
38752 | Richards?" |
38752 | Right next to Wilson''s mill?.... |
38752 | See how many there are?" |
38752 | Shall she speak? |
38752 | She heard the same voice ask,"Is this you, Doctor?" |
38752 | She hurried out to the porch,"Is n''t papa here?" |
38752 | She went to the''phone, expecting to hear a querulous woman''s voice asking,"Has the doctor started yet?" |
38752 | She would take down the receiver and ask,"What is it?" |
38752 | She''s going to sleep..... Well, I guess she_ ca n''t_ see very well with her eyes shut..... Then you wo n''t come down?.... |
38752 | Shortridge?" |
38752 | Should she step out doors where the cherry tree would not be in the way? |
38752 | Should she take it for granted? |
38752 | Soon the same voice says,"Are you there yet, Doctor?" |
38752 | Tell her to put her finger down her throat and vomit some more..... No, I think it wo n''t be necessary for me to come down..... You would? |
38752 | Ten, you say? |
38752 | The doctor answered solemnly,"The baby''s fat and healthy is n''t it?" |
38752 | The doctor came out, and the little boy looking up at him asked,"Is they any more babies down in the woods?" |
38752 | The doctor turned to go then paused to ask,"How''s the baby?" |
38752 | The old, old question:"Is the doctor there?" |
38752 | The other two began,"Yes,""Well,""What is it?" |
38752 | The pleasant voice spoke again,"This is Dr. Blank, is it?" |
38752 | The voice went on,"Mrs. Blank, could n''t you just speak to the druggist about it so I could get it right away?" |
38752 | Then she asked,"Is there a''phone at Mr. William Huntley''s?" |
38752 | There came into his mind the image of Mary as she had asked so earnestly,"How are they to know? |
38752 | They did n''t? |
38752 | Torren''s?" |
38752 | Twitchell''s?" |
38752 | Very pleasantly, almost apologetically she asks,"What is it?" |
38752 | Was he going to reprimand her? |
38752 | Was n''t it? |
38752 | Well, where is the_ doctor_?" |
38752 | West? |
38752 | What does it mean?" |
38752 | What had I better do with this Polish girl''s hand?" |
38752 | What had happened at home? |
38752 | What have you been doing to prevent it?" |
38752 | What in h- ll did you cut us off for?" |
38752 | What is it?" |
38752 | What is it?" |
38752 | What is it?.... |
38752 | What kind is this?" |
38752 | What must I do with it?" |
38752 | What''s a wife for? |
38752 | What''s the matter?" |
38752 | What''s wanted?" |
38752 | What_ you_ doing?" |
38752 | When I opened the door he asked as he always does,''Any laundry?''" |
38752 | When he came home Mary asked,"Did you stop the leak?" |
38752 | When he gets off, will you please tell him?" |
38752 | When he got the number and asked,"Is this you, Fanny?" |
38752 | When the young girl entered the room her mother said,"Gertrude, you answered the''phone awhile ago, did n''t you?" |
38752 | When they were in the buggy again Mary said,"But what if the baby goes blind after all? |
38752 | Where can the boys have got to? |
38752 | Where do you live?" |
38752 | Where is it?" |
38752 | Where is she? |
38752 | Where was he to go?" |
38752 | Where were you then?" |
38752 | Where''s the doctor?" |
38752 | Where''s the doctor?" |
38752 | Where''s the doctor?" |
38752 | While the light was being brought he asked,"Did this inflammation begin when the baby was about three days old?" |
38752 | Who is to blame for the blindness in the first place? |
38752 | Who is to tell them? |
38752 | Who is to tell them?" |
38752 | Who was calling Dr. Blank a while ago?" |
38752 | Who''s sick out there?" |
38752 | Who''s sick out there?" |
38752 | Who''s?" |
38752 | Who_ did_ tell ye?" |
38752 | Whose sick out there?" |
