19309You Professor Newcomb?
19309Zeke, where is the pen out of that case?
19309Am I doing right or wrong?
19309Am I going forward to success in life, or to failure and degradation?
19309And how, the reader may ask, did it happen that these observations were not published by the astronomers who made them?
19309As I walked and walked, the question in my mind was, what am I doing and whither am I going?
19309But how, with what sort of instruments, and on what plan, must the photographs be taken?
19309Can I not now go on with the study of the botanic system?"
19309Can it be possible for anything to be made that would not have any shape?

19309The Boston Athenæum had a very fine library; is it not possible that this may have a beginning of something of the same sort?
19309The most difficult and delicate question arose in the beginning; shall the telescope be a reflector or a refractor?

19309When a little over four and a half, one evening, as I came home from school, you ran to me, and asked,"Father, is not 4 and 4 and 4 and 4, 16?"
19309Who is he?
19309Why go farther?"
19309Why should they have lain unused and forgotten for two hundred years?
19309did you not hear what he called us?
10202''What are their duties?'' 10202 ''Why do you ask me about our government?''
10202And what of the boys? 10202 But is there any limit to the different positions of human beings around you?
10202I asked, as modestly as I could,''Have you any pupils in Latin and mathematics?'' 10202 I confess to a feeling of mortification when one of these girls asked me,''Did you ever read the translation of a Russian book?''
10202I had heard that she was not a women''s rights woman, and she said,''Who could have told you that? 10202 I stopped; and he asked,''Shall we lose our ice- crop this winter?''
10202I turned to the young American girl who sat next to me, and said,''Miss S., did you ever hear that expression except on the street?'' 10202 If for four hours a day you studied, year after year, the science of language, for instance, do you suppose you would not be a linguist?
10202Indeed, if a cardinal should, at the Hall of Sopre Minerva, call out to Secchi,''Watchman, what of the night?'' 10202 Miss Mitchell,"asked one good missionary,"what is your favorite position in prayer?"
10202The English are far beyond us in their highest scholarship, but why should they be ignorant of our scholars? 10202 There is no observatory in this land, nor in any land, probably, of which the question is not asked,''Are they doing anything?
10202They plied me with questions:''Do you have women in your faculty? 10202 They talk as I expected Southern people of intelligence to talk; they lament the evil, and say,''It is upon us, what can we do?
10202Through long halls, up winding staircases, occasionally stopped by some priest who touched his broad hat and asked''Parlate Italiano?'' 10202 What is that fine building on the hill?"
10202What would we not give to see Julius Caesar and the soothsayer, just as they stood in Rome as Shakspere represents them? 10202 What would you think of it, if the director of any observatory were one of the President''s cabinet at Washington, in virtue of his position?
10202What''s that?
10202Will it really unroll to us at some future time? 10202 ''And,''I asked,''some Latin?'' 10202 ''Are you interested in questions of government?'' 10202 ''Do women vote in Russia?'' 10202 ''Is it a penny?'' 10202 ''Not married?'' 10202 ''Oh,''I said,''the passports are all right; where are they?'' 10202 ''On what money?'' 10202 ''What did she say?'' 10202 ''What shall I have the honor of showing you?'' 10202 ''What was I that I should love them, save for feeling of the pain?'' 10202 ''Where were you raised?'' 10202 ''Which way be ye coming?'' 10202 ( Was it, never sleeps?) 10202 *****When a student asks me,''What specialty shall I follow?''
10202--"Five dollars a day?"
10202--''And why are you to be sold?''
10202--''I do n''t know,''he replied.--''Why did n''t you read the sign?''
10202After, perhaps, fifteen minutes, Dr. Whewell said,''Will you sit?''
10202All well enough,--but why call it a college?
10202And if so, does not it condemn the ablest women to a single life?
10202And in our deep ignorance of what is truth, shall we dread the search for it?
10202As he stepped into the meridian- room, and saw the instruments, he said,''Collimators?''
10202At which Professor Mitchell drew herself up with the air of a tragic queen, saying,"And is my time worth no more than to boil eggs?"
10202But is the region of truth limited?
10202But one fine day a letter came to Mrs. Airy from Lady Herschel, and she asked,''Would not Miss Mitchell like to visit us?''
10202But why look back at all?
10202But why not for men?
10202Can the study of truth do harm?
10202Could I be in error twelve days?
10202Did he mean to say,''Better to believe a lie''?
10202Did time go backward?
10202Did you feast on''The Marble Faun''?
10202Do men and women hold the same rank?''
10202Do we live up to them?
10202Do you have Worcester''s Dictionary?
10202Does not every true scientist seek only to know the truth?
10202Had the nebula suddenly changed?
10202He went on in the cars with us, and was reading Mallock''s''Is Life Worth Living?''
10202How did they know that those two passports belonged to us?
10202How many American women are interested in questions concerning government?
10202How many thousand women do you suppose are studying science in the whole State of New York?
10202I asked.--''I ca n''t read,''was the reply.--''Oh, no; but why did n''t you ask some one?''
10202I do not wonder that the millionaire founds a new college-- why should he not?
10202I had a good star near it in the field of my comet- seeker, but_ what_ star?
10202I listened with great interest, and said,''I must go there in the morning; what is the name of it?''
10202I returned the questions:''Is there a girl''s college in Moscow?''
10202I said''Can you not say"I shall be happy to have you"?''
10202I sought her at once, and with fear and trembling asked,''Have you a bit of land behind your house in Denver where I could put up a small telescope?''
10202I would fain have gone off into some poetical quotation, such as''The breaking waves dashed high''or''The Pilgrim fathers, where are they?''
10202If you are going to find any more comets, can you not wait till they are announced by the proper authorities?
10202Is it not infinite?...
10202Is there any limit to the peculiarities of circumstances?
10202Is there any one so forgetful of the sovereignty bestowed on her by God that she accepts a leader-- one who shall capture her mind?
10202MY DEAR: Your father just gave me a great fright by"tapping at my window"( I believe Poe''s was a door, was n''t it?)
10202Must a common cook always be a girl?
10202Ought not Mr. Hawthorne to be the happiest man alive?
10202She might model her busts in the clay of her own soil, but who should follow out in marble the delicate thought which the clay expressed?
10202She pointed, not to the hotel, but to a house next to a church, and said,''That''s it-- don''t you see a place on the top?
10202She said,''Oh,''in a tone which plainly said,''Is_ that_ all?''
10202Should I go to a music- school, therefore?
10202Sometimes I am ready to say,''How can I forget you, when you have hung around me so closely for half an hour?''
10202Suppose every man should feel it is his duty to do his own mechanical work of_ all_ kinds, would society be benefited?
10202Suppose for an instant that her commerce is cut off, will they starve?
10202The bright part of this object was clearly the old nebula-- but what was the appendage?
10202The eldest sister asked:''Do women vote in America?''
10202Then I asked,''If there is no future state, is life worth living?''
10202Was I like Alice in Wonderland?
10202Was it a comet, or was it merely a very fine night?
10202Was it really the same old earth, and not another planet?
10202What could be done?
10202What more can you ask to be?
10202What would be beyond seeing them in life?
10202When she gave me a book she said,''May I write your whole name?
10202While the curtain was down, I heard a voice behind me say to the gentleman who was with us,''Is the lady on your left with you?''
10202Who objects?
10202Who settles the way?
10202Why can not a man act himself, be himself, and think for himself?
10202Why do n''t we hear from them?
10202Why turn your eyes to your shadow, when, by looking upward, you see your rainbow in the same direction?
10202Why?
10202Would you, if you lived in Lynn, want to fall into such a mass of idolaters?
10202You and I can never occult, for have we not always helped one another to shine?
10202and Have I seen_ her_?
10202and I asked,''Is it?''
10202and may I say"from your friend"?''
10202and must a boy not cook unless on the top of the ladder, with the pay of the president of Harvard College?
10202said he;''am I talking to a capitalist?
10202would the work be well done?
28613Does Mr. Newton eat, drink, sleep, like other men?
28613How on earth do you know?
28613Understand the structure of a soap- bubble?
28613What have plane figures to do with the celestial orbits?
28613***** Who, then, was the man of first magnitude filling up the gap in scientific history between the death of Galileo and the maturity of Newton?
28613A month, should you guess?
28613And how was the_ Principia_ received?
28613And what about science?
28613And what did his versatile genius accomplish during his fifty- four years of life?
28613And what does it see?
28613And what is the outcome of it all?
28613Are all the bodies in space of this gigantic size?
28613Are perhaps the two smaller stars consumed like spots on the sun?
28613Are there any now who practically repeat their error, and resist new truth?
28613Are there any such gigantic rotating masses of gas in the heaven now?
28613Are we then to regard the system as absurd and wholly false?
28613But against the power of Rome what could they do?
28613But all this was working in the dark-- it was only the first step-- this empirical discovery of facts; the facts were so, but how came they so?
28613But did it satisfy the law of speed?
28613But was the change sudden?
28613But what about the shape of the orbit-- Was it after all possible that Aristotle, and every philosopher since Aristotle, had been wrong?
28613But what is it pulling back?
28613But, it may be asked, if Kepler''s third law only gives us the mass of a_ central_ body, how is the mass of a_ satellite_ to be known?
28613But, wait a bit; is it discovered?
28613Can they have been once a single planet broken up?
28613Consider for a moment the denudation import of the tides: how does the existence of tidal rise and fall affect the geological problem?
28613Could he not hit on the device and make an instrument capable of bringing the heavenly bodies nearer?
28613Could it be an outer planet?
28613Could it be expressed no more simply?
28613Could it be that the light particles after passing through the prism travelled in variously curved lines, as spinning racquet balls do?
28613Could it be that white light was compound, was a mixture of several constituents, and that its different constituents were differently bent?
28613Could the observation be wrong by this small amount?
28613Could the rate of description of areas be uniform with it?
28613Could this planet be inside the orbit of Uranus?
28613Did it seem to him as if he had seen far and deep into the truths of this great and infinite universe?
28613Does not the secular variation in excentricity of the earth''s orbit, combined with the precession of the equinoxes, afford a key?
28613Does the elevation of the ocean cause the tidal flow, or does the tidal flow cause the elevation?
28613Genius patience?
28613Have they not succeeded?
28613Have they suddenly vanished and fled?
28613Have we any reason for supposing that the stars we see are all there are?
28613He next examined the various hypotheses that had been suggested to account for them:--Was it a failure in the law of gravitation?
28613How far did it fall?
28613How far is the moon away?
28613How long would it be before you encountered another object?
28613If the earth revolved round the sun, how came it that the fixed stars showed no parallax?
28613In June the earth is 184 million miles away from where it was in December: how can we see precisely the same fixed stars?
28613In other words, have we any reason for supposing all celestial objects to be sufficiently luminous to be visible?
28613Is it 16/3600?
28613Is it not probable that this is_ why_ the moon always now turns the same face towards us?
28613Is it over yet?
28613Is it possible that comets are large meteors which dip into the solar atmosphere, and are thus rendered conspicuously luminous?
28613Is there any connection between their orbital distances, or between their orbits and the times of describing them?
28613Is there any connection or common ancestry possible, to account for this strange family likeness?
28613Is there really nothing in space but the nebulæ, the suns, their planets, and their satellites?
28613Is this force of gravity sufficient for the purpose?
28613It appeared to his contemporaries as if he had almost exhausted the possibility of discovery; but did it so appear to Newton?
28613Kepler had discovered how they moved, but why did they so move, what urged them?
28613Light travels from the stars to our eyes: does it come instantaneously?
28613May there not be an infinitude of small bodies as well?
28613Not itself, surely?
28613Now what can be said of so strange a metamorphosis?
28613Now when we have a spinning body, say a top, overloaded on one side so that gravity acts on it unsymmetrically, what happens?
28613Now, what is the moral to be drawn from such uniformity of behaviour among unconnected bodies?
28613Or has Saturn devoured his own children?
28613Or was it due to a collision with some comet?
28613So far we have dealt mainly with the earth and its moon; but is the existence of tides limited to these bodies?
28613Surely a mistake of calculation?
28613That is what it ought to be: but is it?
28613The doctrine is very familiar to us now, we have heard it, I suppose, since we were four years old, but can you realize it?
28613The main interest of these bodies to us lies in the question, What is their history?
28613The question, therefore,"At what rate does our messenger travel?"
28613The sun is one of the stars: then is it at rest?
28613They rotate with the motion they possess when thrown or shrunk off; but will they remain rings?
28613They say,"If the cart pulls against the horse with precisely the same force as the horse pulls the cart, why should the cart move?"
28613This was evidently a puzzling fact: what on earth can our year have to do with the motion of a moon of Jupiter''s?
28613This was natural enough, but was it moving the right way?
28613Up in Lincolnshire, in the seventeenth century, who was there for him to consult?
28613Very well, then, put this problem:--A vast mass of rotating gas is left to itself to cool for ages and to condense as it cools: how will it behave?
28613Was it always decreasing?
28613Was it due to some unseen but large satellite?
28613Was it due to the presence of a resisting medium?
28613Was it likely that a young and unknown man should have successfully solved so extremely difficult a problem?
28613Was it possible the tables were wrong?
28613Was this impostor going to blacken its face too?
28613We do possess the sense of sight; but is it to be supposed that we possess every sense that can be possessed by finite beings?
28613We have now to ask, Are these spaces really empty?
28613Were his opponents convinced?
28613What about the second?
28613What are comets?
28613What can be better than"heat,""light,""sound"?
28613What can have caused the slowing down?
28613What could have caused it?
28613What happens to these rings?
28613What is the meaning of the equable description of areas?
28613What made the planets move in this particular way?
28613What was the physical cause of this acceleration according to the theory of gravitation?
28613Where is the man to spend his life in evolving the beginnings of law and order from the midst of all this chaos?
28613Wherein, then, lies the difference?
28613Why are you not here?
28613Why did not others make any of these observations?
28613Why did the image thus spread out?
28613Why is this?
28613Why may not some of the stars be dark too?
28613Why not exactly?
28613Why on earth not?
28613Why should it not be the gravitation of the sun that is the central force acting on all the planets?
28613Why should it not reach as high as the moon?
28613Why should it only pull stones and apples?
28613Will an inverse square law of force keep a body moving in an elliptic orbit about the sun in one focus?
28613Will it hold for elliptic orbits?
28613Will they ultimately approach and fall into the sun, or will they recede further and further from him, into the cold of space?
28613Yes, certainly the cart is pulling at the horse; if the cart offered no resistance what would be the good of the horse?
28613[ 17] How can one decide whether such a force is able to pull the moon the actual amount required?
28613and if so, how far back was it so excentric that at perihelion the earth passed quite near the sun?
28613and where were the doctrines they had maintained as irrefragable?
28613or are they rather an abortive attempt at a planet never yet formed into one?
28613or does it loiter by the way?
28613that circular motion was not the perfect and natural motion, but that planets might move in some other closed curve?
28613who cling to any old anchorage of dogma, and refuse to rise with the tide of advancing knowledge?
6574And is this all?
6574Could I, a noble, print This trafficking with Urania in a book? 6574 His book has come From Nuremberg at last; but who would dare To let him see it now?"
6574Is it you?
6574Print it?
6574To what end? 6574 What does it mean?
6574What is the thought, Jeppe?
6574What''s this? 6574 Where?"
6574)_ What think I?
6574-- They laughed,"What do you mean?"
6574--"Afraid of what, Susannah?"
6574--"He has asked a thousand times if it has come; Could we tear out those pages?"
6574--"Kepler, have you not heard Of those who, fifteen hundred years ago, Had eyes and would not see?
6574--"What shall be done, then?"
6574--"You mean The man at Padua, Galileo?"
6574A grain of dust among those glittering legions-- Am I, I only, touched with joy and tears?
6574And would he not bequeath them to his heirs, The children of Christine, an unfree woman?
6574Are you happy now to know Your book is printed, and the new world born?"
6574Can music rise By chance from chaos, as they said that star In Serpentarius rose?
6574Can some deep sleep bereave them of our story As darkness hides all colours from the blind?
6574Can this uncharted boundless realm of ours Drone thro''the sky, with leagues of struggling sea, Forests, and hills, and towns, and palace- towers?"
6574Could I guess At unseen glories, in this deeper night, Make new discoveries of profounder realms, Within the soul?
6574Could I, who put away all earthly love, Deny the Cross to which I nailed this flesh?
6574Could he then be sure That this great sun did not with all its worlds Move round a deeper centre?
6574Could new stars be born?
6574Could they not hear those whispers of the soul?
6574Could this be absolute?
6574Did I forget the subtler truth of Rome And, in my pride, obscure the world''s one light?
6574Did I subordinate to this moving earth Our swiftlier- moving God?
6574Did he mean Simplicio, in his dialogues, for the Pope?
6574Did he not spend Gold that a fool could spend as quickly as he?
6574Did it also move Around the sun?
6574Did they listen?
6574Did this earth Move?
6574Do we think this world So greatly bettered, that the ancient cry,"_ Despised, rejected_,"hails our God no more?
6574Do you recall Those verses, Elsa?
6574Do you remember Old Barley-- how he tried to teach us drawing?
6574Do you remember?
6574Do you wonder?
6574Do you_ mean_ more?"
6574Fixed in their sphere, How else explain that vast unchanging wheel?
6574Fools in their hearts have said,"Whence comes this Power, Why throw the riddle back this one stage more?"
6574For who, if one lost star could lead the kings To God''s own Son, would shrink from following these To His eternal throne?
6574Had he heard Some hint of scandal that he could not breathe To you, because he honoured you too well?
6574Had our own Some distant comrade, lost among the stars?
6574Have not all ages seen A like illusion baffling half mankind In life, thought, art?
6574Have they not brought it yet?
6574Have they not brought it?
6574Have you no song, then, of that nobler war?
6574Have you not heard The very heavens opening?
6574Have you not heard, in some great symphony, Those golden mathematics making clear The victory of the soul?
6574He stood Tapping his music- rest, lost in his own thoughts And( did I hear or dream them?)
6574He wondered, will she shrink from me in fear Or loathing?
6574How could he choose between them?
6574How could he help Despising them a little?
6574How could he talk to children, but in words That children understand?
6574How should men find it?
6574How should the Church escape, then?
6574I know their orbits; but what path have I?
6574I shall come back with knowledge and with power, And you-- will wait for me?"
6574II(_ Scheiner writes to Castelli, after the Trial._) What think you of your Galileo now, Your hero that like Ajax should defy The lightning?
6574Into whose hands can I entrust it all?
6574Is he mad?
6574Is it a dream, These crowding midgets, dense as clustering bees In some great bee- skep?
6574Is there a world whose light is not as my light, A midget world of light- imprisoned men?
6574May not their flesh have sealed that fount of glory, That pure ninth sense which told us of mankind?
6574Men?
6574Must he die To affirm a discord that himself denied?
6574Must such things always be When truth is born?
6574O, what shall now stand sure?"
6574Of which things, we see no more Than images only, flashed through nerves and brain To our small sensories?
6574Shall I try To throw it back to you?"
6574Shall we side With Heraclitus or Democritus?
6574She cooed,''Is Mr. Pepys within?''
6574Strange, is it not, How nearly Scheiner-- even amidst his hate-- Quoted the Prophets?
6574Tell me now How shall I mix it?
6574The silence?
6574Then said the king,"If earth so lightly move, What of my realm?
6574Thus it ran:''Master, have you forgotten Jeppe, your dwarf, Who used to lie beside the big log- fire And feed from your own hand?
6574Was I wrong?
6574Was earth a loadstone Holding them to their paths by that dark force Whose mystery men have cloaked beneath a name?
6574Was the eye contrived by blindly moving atoms, Or the still- listening ear fulfilled with music By forces without knowledge of sweet sounds?
6574Was the sun Their sovran lord then, as Pythagoras held?
6574Was the sun the centre of our scheme?
6574Was there an unknown planet, far beyond, Sailing through unimaginable deeps And drawing it from its path?
6574Was this great earth, so''stablished, so secure, A planet also?
6574Was this my infidelity, was this Less full of beauty, less divine in truth, Than their dull chaos?
6574Were there not great estates bestowed upon him In wisdom''s name, that from the dawn of time Had been the natural right of Junkerdom?
6574Were they men or children?
6574What am I?
6574What became Of your Copernicus then?
6574What delays my book?
6574What does it mean?
6574What has decided me?
6574What has delayed them?
6574What is it moves this body?
6574What of that?
6574What shaft had pierced him?
6574What think you of your Galileo now?
6574What will they christen it?
6574What''s that?
6574What''s this?"
6574When shall we reap the fruits of all this toil?
6574Whence arises all This order, this unbroken chain of law, This human will, this death- defying love?
6574Where was the gambler that would stake so much,-- Time, patience, treasure, on a single throw?
6574Whither?
6574Who can lead Two lives at once?
6574Who that once has seen How truth leads on to truth, shall ever dare To set a bound to knowledge?
6574Whose are the might and music that enfold me?
6574Whose faith,-- His friends'', his Protestant followers'', or his own?
6574Whose is the law that guides me thro''the Deep?
6574Why mar the tune, why dislocate a world, For one slight clash of seeming fact with faith?''
6574Why not acquiesce?
6574Will not some one go And tell them that my strength is running out?
6574Will she even come at all?
6574Will your English guest Turn up his nose at dandelion leaves As crisp and young as these?
6574Would his Excellency Like sugared rose- leaves better?"
6574Would not the fruit fall earthward, though it grew High o''er the hills as yonder brightening cloud?
6574Would not the selfsame power that plucked the fruit Draw the white moon, then, sailing in the blue?
6574You can not see them?
6574You may call it Weakness, and yet could any man do more, Alone, against a world, with such a trust To guard for future ages?
6574You''ll leave me here An hour or so?"
6574said the king,"Is earth a bird or bee?
6574said the king,"O, where?
31598A cat is n''t exactly big game for thieves, is it? 31598 A chant should rhyme, should n''t it?"
31598Afraid a brand- new mystery might end without you getting a piece of it?
31598An Arab country?
31598And how do you know?
31598And you made copies of concrete? 31598 Any relation to Ali, I wonder?"
31598Are they dry yet?
31598Are we at Giza already?
31598Are you Ali Moustafa?
31598Are you Fuad Moustafa?
31598Are you all right?
31598Are you lonely, little cat?
31598Are you the dragoman Dr. Farid sent?
31598But how can that be?
31598But how? 31598 But is the overseas airmail so crowded you would n''t trust a parcel to the regular mail system?"
31598But why a cat? 31598 But why do you want it?"
31598But why does n''t he drop the sail and try to lose headway?
31598But why would a thief want the cat?
31598But why would anyone want the cat?
31598Can you ask them what''s up?
31598Can you take us to Abd El Aziz Street?
31598Cat catch mouse last night?
31598Christmas mail is to and from Christians, is n''t it? 31598 Could Hassan''s car have broken down?"
31598Could n''t leave our pal, could we? 31598 Could there be something inside the cat?
31598Did n''t you ever hear of Project Ozma?
31598Do jackals always bark at night?
31598Do they always bark at nothing?
31598Do you know what is in the cat?
31598Do you know why the cat is important?
31598Do you really think we''re in any danger?
31598Do you suppose Bartouki was telling the truth?
31598Does it matter, if it was some kind of intelligence?
31598Excited? 31598 Excited?"
31598Footsball? 31598 Get it, or else?"
31598Ghouls, ghosties, or long- legged beasties?
31598Going to take her a bouquet of Egyptian poison ivy?
31598Hassan, what do you think is in here?
31598Hassan, when do you think Youssef will come back?
31598He say you get this?
31598How about Moustafa?
31598How about scrambled eggs for New Year''s Eve dinner?
31598How did you know the cat in the pyramid was n''t the cat we brought from America?
31598How did you know the cat in the pyramid was not the right one?
31598How do you know Steve?
31598How do you know it is n''t the right one?
31598How do you like our baby?
31598How far, Hassan?
31598How is it going?
31598How will we work it?
31598How you say? 31598 How''s this?
31598How?
31598I do n''t suppose I can go, too?
31598I do n''t suppose you could promise to leave Rick and Scotty at home?
31598In the east?
31598Indeed? 31598 Is Mr. Moustafa here?"
31598Is he guilty of anything?
31598Is it a saying of some kind?
31598Is it cold out today?
31598Is n''t it pretty careless, leaving the cat at the project?
31598It kind of throws a monkey wrench into our plan, does n''t it?
31598It was obvious, was it not? 31598 It would not be an imposition?"
31598Listen, who sends mail at Christmas time?
31598Look, what went on in that store, anyway? 31598 May I ask a personal question?"
31598Meanwhile, what do we know about anything? 31598 Mr. Bartouki?
31598No co- operation? 31598 Not so tired?"
31598Not suspicious of the others?
31598Now you speak Arabic? 31598 Now, where is the cat?"
31598Now,Scotty asked,"what do we do with the children?"
31598Otherwise, why go to all the trouble of trying to get it in the bazaar, then taking the risk of searching our room?
31598Rick, can you come to the library in five minutes? 31598 Sandstone?"
31598Second question: ca n''t you just pick up Youssef on a kidnapping charge?
31598See anything?
31598Sentimental value?
31598Shall we eat?
31598Shall we say that I had a cat expert examine it? 31598 So they wo n''t get us in a public place, huh?
31598That''s more evidence that it was moving contrary to normal direction?
31598The people of Cairo would n''t want reproductions, would they?
31598The wizard of Ozma?
31598Then how''s this?
31598There are plenty of people who wait until the last few days before Christmas, but where are they? 31598 They did n''t get it?"
31598They taught you English?
31598Was it valuable?
31598We will exchange stories over coffee, eh? 31598 What I want to know is, did the hall porter just happen to step out at the right moment for the thief?
31598What about Felix?
31598What are you driving at?
31598What data are buried in your subconscious that make you distrust Bartouki?
31598What do you mean?
31598What do you want?
31598What does that mean?
31598What else are they here for?
31598What else is made for tourists?
31598What is it?
31598What is that?
31598What is the space object?
31598What kind of problem is it?
31598What pyramids are those, Hassan?
31598What we do now?
31598What will you do with it now?
31598What''ll we do?
31598What''s Bartouki a doctor of?
31598What''s the problem everyone has with kittens? 31598 What''s up?"
31598What''s_ la samah Allah_?
31598What? 31598 What?"
31598When do we start?
31598Where did you get it?
31598Where you like to go?
31598Where''s the cat?
31598Where?
31598Who does not?
31598Who sends messages from space?
31598Who was the man who pretended to be your brother Ali?
31598Why did n''t he use someone disguised as a tourist?
31598Why did n''t you give him the cat, anyway?
31598Why do you carry a pistol?
31598Why does n''t he correct his course?
31598Why is the cat so important?
31598Why not go over to see the pyramids? 31598 Why not?
31598Why the soldiers?
31598Why they stop? 31598 With Hassan?"
31598Wonder if they''d like to have you, too?
31598Would it be all right for us to go?
31598Would n''t that throw them for a loop? 31598 Would you like company?"
31598You are probably wondering who I am, and how I appeared so opportunely, eh? 31598 You ever play football?"
31598You know El Mouski?
31598You let me see, please?
31598You want to actually hear this thing?
31598You will excuse me? 31598 You wish to see me?"
31598_ Monsieur l''Inspecteur? 31598 A guide who could n''t read? 31598 A pal of our little cat?
31598A technician asked,"Sir, do these peaks occur no matter how the antenna is pointing?"
31598Ah, but this is evening in Cairo, is it not?"
31598And how about Bartouki?"
31598And these are your young friends?"
31598And where is the original?"
31598And where was the real Ali Moustafa?
31598And where were the brothers Moustafa?
31598And who were the people that wanted it?
31598And you?
31598Any bright ideas, ol''chum?"
31598Are n''t you enjoying the suspense?"
31598Are you familiar with radio astronomy?"
31598Are your passports and health cards up to date?"
31598As Hassan drove off, at the usual high velocity, Rick asked,"Do you know Fuad Moustafa?"
31598Barby asked wistfully,"Could n''t I meet some real Egyptians, too?"
31598Buffaloed?"
31598But first, how are your bank balances?
31598But for whom?"
31598But how could he?
31598But if not in the city, where?
31598But suppose you''re right, and it is n''t lead?
31598But what?
31598But what?"
31598But why is the cat so important?"
31598But, Hassan, if you ca n''t read or write, how did you learn such good English?"
31598Can I order breakfast first?"
31598Can you describe the men who attacked you at the Egyptian Museum?"
31598Can you make the duplicates?"
31598Can you tell me what color dress my sister Barbara wore at your reception, and the color of her hair and eyes?"
31598Come, shall we go to the outside?
31598Could n''t we just get a map instead?"
31598Could n''t you, Rick?"
31598Could they trust this man?
31598Did he ask us who jumped us in the pyramid, or why?
31598Did he explain why he carries a Luger?
31598Did you see my friend last night?"
31598Do n''t you?"
31598Do we walk, or take the elevator?
31598Do you follow me?"
31598Do you have any plans?"
31598Do you know him?"
31598Do you want the pieces?"
31598Dr. Kerama called,"Hakim, can you help with these tracings, please?"
31598Fat or thin?"
31598Finally, he found a dragoman who knew nothing of their whereabouts, but added,"Why you not wait in room?
31598For a moment Rick hesitated, then asked,"Is there another Ali Moustafa in the bazaar?"
31598For perhaps the hundredth time he asked,"Why is the cat valuable?
31598Going to tell Winston and the others about this morning?"
31598Got the kitty?"
31598Got the map?"
31598Guess what?
31598Had Scotty met Kemel Moustafa at seven?
31598He asked,"Why all the honking, Hassan?"
31598He could have it put in the hotel vault, but what assurance had he that it would be safe there?
31598He knew he would be searched; why else would Youssef come?
31598He wondered as Hassan drove them to the hotel below the pyramids: had the business in the pyramid been staged so Kemel could come to the rescue?
31598How about going to the Egyptian Museum this morning?"
31598How about it?"
31598How about you?"
31598How can you eliminate all of it?"
31598How could he establish Bartouki''s identity for certain?
31598How did this concern Scotty and him?
31598How do you find the right one?"
31598How full can life get?"
31598How had he known?
31598I believe you gave one to a man who showed up here?"
31598I think you have probably had enough of Khufu''s tomb by this time, eh?"
31598If Scotty had the cat, had he delivered it?
31598If part of the circuit is n''t causing the trouble, what is?"
31598Instead, he asked Hassan,"Could there be another Ali Moustafa in El Mouski?"
31598Is it the one under your arm perhaps?"
31598Is n''t that about it?"
31598It''s a problem that has us... what''s the American expression?
31598Just came along for the ride, I suppose?"
31598May I speak to Kemel?"
31598Maybe around back?"
31598Notice that no one saw the ruckus?
31598Now co- operate, will you?"
31598Now we start?"
31598Now, Mr. Brant, where is the cat?"
31598Now, ask yourself-- who can get past customs with no difficulty?
31598Now, can you tell me anything about a Mr. Fuad Moustafa?
31598Now, if you knew there was evidence against you, and you were completely ruthless, what would you do?"
31598Now, since you created this situation, how are you going to get out of it?
31598Now, what had led Barby to offer Rick''s services as a messenger?
31598Only how do we do it?"
31598Only where was big, fat, jolly Ali Moustafa?
31598Only, now what do we do with the cat?"
31598Or could I be wrong about the description?"
31598Or did I create it, through my careless eagerness?
31598Or is he in the act somehow?"
31598Rick asked Winston,"Could it really be coming from a single source in outer space?"
31598Rick asked, still chuckling,"Hassan, do camels always complain like that?"
31598Rick protested,"But why should he trust his finances to a stranger?
31598Rick started to get out, then he asked curiously,"How do you know, Hassan?
31598Right?
31598Right?"
31598Scotty asked Hassan, with mock seriousness,"You know Sahara Wells?"
31598Scotty asked bluntly,"Why is the cat so important?"
31598Scotty asked incredulously,"Did n''t you think carrying a cat wrapped in paper was pretty strange?"
31598Scotty asked,"Why do they want to make changes?
31598Scotty interrupted,"Can you speak in English please?"
31598Scotty said,"I''m sure you have lots of theories, but honestly-- what do you really think?"
31598Should we go into the crypt or stay out here?"
31598So what will they think?"
31598So why would the airmail to Egypt be jammed?"
31598So, as the year closes, where are we?
31598Someone leave?"
31598Suppose I suggest one with a car?"
31598Suppose they''ll try the project?"
31598Suppose we pick up from there?"
31598That would n''t be in the city, because who would pay any attention to a car parked and locked at the curb?
31598The attraction for tourists are things that are clearly Egyptian in origin, no?
31598The big question was, of course, what would happen to them?
31598The boy said quickly,"Yes, sir?"
31598The cat was no good to him, was it?
31598The guide parked directly in front of the museum and asked,"I go with you?"
31598The question was who had taken him?
31598They did not harm you?"
31598This is acceptable?"
31598This is correct?"
31598This was the case?"
31598Until then, why not take it easy?"
31598Want to go in?"
31598Was not Bartouki''s word enough?"
31598Was that you?"
31598What are footsball?"
31598What are you getting at?"
31598What basis did he have for mistrusting the charming little Egyptian merchant?
31598What could be valuable enough to cause all these wild goings- on?"
31598What did that leave?
31598What do we do next?"
31598What do we do with the Egyptian cat?"
31598What does kitty have that people want?"
31598What else could he recall of Youssef''s talk?
31598What else would travel across normal star directions giving out signals?"
31598What had Youssef said?
31598What kind of changes?"
31598What number street he live?"
31598What then?"
31598What was going on?
31598What was he to do with it?
31598What was it?
31598What''s the next step?"
31598Where is it?"
31598Where is the cat?"
31598Where is the real Ali Moustafa?"
31598Where shall we begin?
31598Where was the thief taking him?
31598Which dynasty invented plastics?
31598Who was he?
31598Who were the men, and why did they want the cat?"
31598Who would you rather have on your trail, Moustafa or Youssef?"
31598Who''s coming?"
