7993I know not whether I should tell you-- yet why should I conceal these trifles, or, indeed, anything from you? 7993 Is there anything I can do for you at Paris?
7993It is,replied Goldsmith,"for fear of something that he has resolved to kill himself; and will not that timid disposition restrain him?"
7993Mr. Goldsmith,said he,"what do you mean by the last word in the first line of your Traveler,''remote, unfriended, solitary, slow?''

7993Yet what shall I say now I am entered? 7993 ''And what did you answer,''said I,''to this gracious offer?'' 7993 ''But where is your justice? 7993 ''But, pray, who have they pilfer''d?''... 7993 ''How does he know we will_ permit_ him? 7993 ''My two shirts,''cried he, in a tone that faltered with confusion;''what does the idiot mean?'' 7993 ''Pray what does Miss Horneck? 7993 ''What signifies_ handsome_, when people are thieves?'' 7993 ''What signifies_ justice_? 7993 ''_ He''ll be of us?_''growled he. 7993 ...''I, Sir? 7993 Ah, not Then what was his failing? 7993 And the women here speak it in its highest purity; for instance, teach one of your young ladies at home to pronounce the''Whoar wull I gong?'' 7993 Boswell.--Will you not admit the superiority of Robertson, in whose history we find such penetration, such painting?"
7993Bunbury?''
7993But how is poor Goldsmith to raise the ways and means?
7993But how was he to get there?

7993But what has he to be either proud or vain of?
7993But what shall I say?
7993But who are those who make the streets their couch, and find a short repose from wretchedness at the doors of the opulent?
7993Can we wonder that, with all the love for his native place, which is shown throughout Goldsmith''s writings, he had not the heart to return there?
7993Can you dress the boys''hair?"

7993England was to him as completely a foreign land as any part of the Continent, and where on earth is a penniless stranger more destitute?
7993Foote?"
7993Goldsmith immediately carried the war into Boswell''s own quarters, and pinned him with the question,"what he would do if affronted?"
7993Granting the poems were not ancient, were they not good?
7993Granting they were not the productions of Rowley, were they the less admirable for being the productions of Chatterton?
7993Have you a good stomach?"
7993Have you got an engraving?"
7993Have you seen it, Sam?
7993He had been teasing him with many direct questions, such as What did you do, sir?
7993He''s done wi''Paoli; he''s off wi''the land- louping scoundrel of a Corsican; and whose tail do you think he has pinn''d himself to now, mon?
7993How amid all that love of inferior company, which never to the last forsook him, did he keep his genius so free from every touch of vulgarity?"

7993How does my poor Jack Goldsmith?
7993How was it to be taken by the stripling officer?

7993I will not be baited with_ what_ and_ why;_ What is this?
7993In such a state as ours, who would not wish to please the chief magistrate?"
7993Is it not strange that two of such like affections should be so much separated, and so differently employed as we are?
7993Is poverty a careless fault?
7993Is this the good that makes the humble vain, The good philosophy should not disdain?
7993It was necessary to appear in a decent garb before the examining committee; but how was he to do so?
7993Johnson.--"Why, who are before him?"
7993Or art thou tired of th''undeserved applause Bestowed on bards affecting Virtue''s cause?
7993Or do thy moral numbers quaintly flow, Inspired by th''_ Aganippe_ of Soho?
7993The country is a fine one, perhaps?
7993Then, perhaps, there''s more wit and learning among the Irish?
7993There are good company in Ireland?
7993To what could I attribute this silence but to displeasure or forgetfulness?
7993Was ever poet so trusted before?"
7993Was the Jessamy Bride a witness of this unlucky exploit?
7993Well, now that I am down, where the d-- l_ is I_?
7993Were the bright eyes of the Jessamy Bride responsible for this additional extravagance of wardrobe?

7993What is The Deserted Village but a pretty poem of easy numbers, without fancy, dignity, genius, or fire?

7993exclaimed the bishop,''is that the hawthorn- bush?
7993glancing at an old woman''s stall; then, recollecting the print- shop window:"Sam,"said he,"have you seen my picture by Sir Joshua Reynolds?

16895And Ellen?
16895And Wells?
16895And now?
16895And so the great romantic passion comes to this tame conclusion?
16895And what is such a prejudice?
16895And what of your compatriot, George Moore? 16895 And your''Ballad of a Fisher Boy''?"
16895Are n''t you a little deaf still?
16895Are you talking of Oscar Wilde?
16895As I can do no good,I said,"do you mind letting me sleep?
16895But I will give you more,I cried,"what will clear you?"
16895But if I got you a petition from men of letters, asking you to release Wilde for his health''s sake: would that do?
16895But suppose he retorted and said you led him astray, what could I answer?
16895But they could give you some cotton wool or something to put in it?
16895But why should he have fame and state and power?
16895But,I said,"will you?"
16895Did you ever care for Hardy?
16895Do you believe I should be left to suffer? 16895 Do you know my word for them, Frank?
16895Do you know that my wife is dead, Frank? 16895 Do you remember Verlaine, Frank?
16895Do you see that?
16895Have you consulted a doctor?
16895Have you ever learned how wonderful a thing pity is? 16895 Have you written any of it?"
16895He is charming, Frank, and well read, and he admires me very much: you wo n''t mind his dining with us, will you?
16895He''s got his money back; what more can he want? 16895 How absurd such schools are, are they not?"
16895How can you talk of such intimacy as love? 16895 How dared those little wretches condemn me and punish me?
16895How did I know how the case would go?... 16895 I do n''t agree with you, Frank,"he said, resenting my tone,"did you notice his eyes?
16895I should rebel,I cried;"why do you let it break the spirit?"
16895I think, I believe... would another fifty be too much?
16895I wonder if any punishment will teach humanity to such people, or understanding of their own baseness?
16895I''m sorry,he said, looking for his hat;"will you come out in the morning and see the''gees''?"
16895I''ve always wondered why you gave Alexander a play? 16895 If you were justified in coming to me, I should do it; but I am no one; why do n''t you go to Meredith, Swinburne or Hardy?"
16895In Naples?
16895In notes please, will you? 16895 Is n''t she a dear old lady?"
16895Is that what you are suffering from?
16895Is there anyone else?
16895Is there nothing I can do?
16895Is there nothing else I can do? 16895 It is,"I said,"a great scene; why do n''t you write it?"
16895May I come in?
16895Might he come?
16895Now you have talked about romance and companionship,I went on,"but can you really feel passion?"
16895Now, Frank, would any girl have come to see you enjoying yourself with other people? 16895 Of course I began to obey him; then I asked:"''What is it?
16895Of course,I said,"what is it?"
16895Oh, yes, Frank, of course; but how could Shakespeare with his beautiful nature love a woman to that mad excess?
16895On Thursday?
16895Rather dirty, do n''t you think?
16895Really?
16895Really?
16895Shall we get a boat and row across the bay?
16895Surely,I said,"Oscar will not be imprisoned for the full term; surely four or five months for good conduct will be remitted?"
16895The first period was the worst?
16895The interview is over,I said;"will you take me downstairs?"
16895The same champagne, Frank, do n''t you think?
16895Then what would you do,asked someone,"about the lower education of man?"
16895Then you wo n''t help me for the rest of the winter?
16895Then, Frank, you only cared for me in so far as I agreed with you?
16895Tired after a mile?
16895Vous êtes Jules, n''est- ce pas?
16895Was the food the worst of it?
16895What about Bernard Shaw?
16895What about the verse?
16895What about the warders?
16895What argument have you against cannibalism; what reason is there why we should not fatten babies for the spit and eat their flesh? 16895 What books have you?"
16895What do you mean?
16895What do you think has happened, Frank?
16895What do you think of Arthur Symons?
16895What is it now?
16895What is it now?
16895What is the matter?
16895What on earth do you mean?
16895What on earth''s the matter?
16895What religion is mine? 16895 What shall we drink?"
16895What would you, Frank? 16895 Where are we going?
16895Who could resist it, Frank? 16895 Why did he not wait?
16895Why do you argue against me, Frank? 16895 Why not?"
16895Why was Wilde so good a subject for a biography that none of the previous attempts which you have just wiped out are bad? 16895 Why will you not be frank with me, and tell me what you owe?
16895Wo n''t you see what can be done?
16895Wo n''t you tell me what you''ve done?
16895Would any girl take a parting like that? 16895 You were an intimate friend of his, were you not?"
16895You will turn up to- morrow at lunch at one?
16895_ Au revoir, n''est- ce pas? 16895 ( you are Jules, are n''t you?) 16895 A day or two later Lord Alfred Douglas told me that he had bought some racehorses and was training them at Chantilly; would I come down and see them? 16895 After all why should anyone help you, if you will not help yourself? 16895 After all, what have they done in comparison with what I have done? 16895 And that I knew that for the future my art and life would be freer and better and more beautiful in every possible way? 16895 Are you sure that will be enough?
16895As soon as the means of life were straitened, he became sullen and began reproaching me; why did n''t I write?
16895At Wandsworth I thought I should go mad; Wandsworth is the worst: no dungeon in hell can be worse; why is the food so bad?
16895At length she began to expatiate on the cheapness of things in France; did Mr. Melmoth know how wonderfully cheap and good the living was?
16895Before parting I said to him:"You wo n''t forget that you are going on Thursday night?"
16895But I was not angry with him for that, though he might have behaved as well as Wyndham,[29] who owed me nothing, do n''t you think?
16895But after all no one can hurt us but ourselves; prison, hard labour, and the hate of men; what are these if they make you truer, wiser, kinder?
16895But as soon as I pressed him to write he would shake his head:"Oh, Frank, I can not, you know my rooms; how could I write there?
16895But do you really think that you were worthy of the love I was showing you then, or that for a single moment I thought you were?
16895But how in that case could Oscar have felt quite safe with you?
16895But was n''t it mean of him?"
16895But what of defeat?
16895But you wo n''t say anything I have said to you, you promise me you wo n''t?"
16895By the by, I hear that you have been reconciled to your wife; is that true?
16895Can I pay this and get them out?
16895Could Oscar Wilde have won and made for himself a new and greater life?
16895Could you do the first act?"
16895Did I ask you for it at the end?
16895Did you lack respect for others?
16895Do n''t you think that is all anyone can ask of me?"
16895Do you ever think of that?
16895Do you know her history?"
16895Do you know what Liesse is?
16895Do you know, my dear fellow, it was pity which prevented my killing myself?
16895Do you mind?
16895Do you really mean it?"
16895Do you really think that any period of our friendship you were worthy of the love I showed you, or that for a single moment I thought you were?
16895Do you remember how Browning''s Sarto defends himself?
16895Do you remember how Socrates says he felt when the chlamys blew aside and showed him the limbs of Charmides?
16895Do you remember talking to me, Frank, of France?"
16895Do you still say, as you said to Robbie in your answer, that I"attribute unworthy motives"to you?
16895Do you think I exaggerate?
16895Do you think I should dread the issue or allow myself to be silenced by a judge?
16895Do you think he could have silenced me?
16895Do you think the idea absurd?
16895Do you want to know what this new world is?
16895Do you want to learn what it was?
16895Do you wonder that I can not write, Frank?
16895Every day I said to myself,"I must keep love in my heart to- day, else how shall I live through the day?"
16895Hammer or anvil-- which?
16895Hammer or anvil?
16895Has it come to that between you?"
16895Have you come to grief through self- indulgence and good- living?
16895Have you got my silver spoon[15] from Reggie?
16895He has no passion, no feeling, and without passionate feeling how can one be an artist?
16895His friends came to me, asking: could anything be done?
16895His weakness was pathetic, or was it that his affection was still so great that he wanted to blame himself rather than his friend?
16895How can one desire what is shapeless, deformed, ugly?
16895How can you have the flower of romance without a brotherhood of soul?"
16895How can you idealise it?
16895How could I help believing him, how could I keep away from him?
16895How could I help feeling sure?
16895How could you frighten me as you did?
16895How dared they?"
16895How else was a silly, narrow judge able to wave you to silence?
16895How many names should I get?"
16895How would Oscar Wilde take punishment?
16895I asked in amazement;"did not call forth that pity in you which you used to speak of as divine?"
16895I asked,"or have you learned reason at last?"
16895I can understand how you have opened to him a new heaven and a new earth, but what has he given you?
16895I could not guess; but then I was often punished for nothing: what was it?
16895I do n''t care what they say, I likes him; and he do talk beautiful, sir, do n''t he?"
16895I hope you have made it up with her?"
16895I laughed;"who has inspired this new devotion?"
16895I pray thee speak me sooth What is thy name?"
16895I spoke of your conduct to me on three successive days three years ago, did I not?
16895I stared at him; I had given him a cheque at the beginning of the dinner: had he forgotten?
16895I suppose I said,''Then what on earth has happened to you?''
16895I think he ought to give me that at the very least, do n''t you?
16895I want you to have a perfect six months, and how can you if you are bothered with debts?"
16895If I go into prison without love, what will become of my soul?"
16895If you do n''t bear fruit why should men care for you?"
16895Is it my fault?
16895Is n''t it extraordinary?
16895Is n''t poverty dreadful?"
16895It is quite clear that he must adopt orphans, is it not?
16895It would not be an avowable reason that we hoped Wilde would write new plays and books, would it?
16895MY DEAR FRANK: How are you?
16895May I have it again this month?
16895My father got into trouble once in Dublin, perhaps you have heard about it?"
16895Need I say that this is a miracle?
16895Need I tell you what I thought of you during the two lonely wretched days of illness that followed?
16895Or did he perchance want to keep the hundred pounds intact for some reason?
16895Or have you ever compared the aforesaid First edition with the original?
16895Or on my frailties why are frailer spies, Which in their wills count bad what I think good?"
16895Oscar stopped on the sidewalk:"And what have I to live for, Bobbie?"
16895She wrote again, saying that she had paid £100 for the scenario: would I see Mr. Kyrle Bellew on the matter?
16895Suppose I like a food that is poison to other people, and yet quickens me; how dare they punish me for eating of it?"
16895Suppose we stop and get some?"
16895Suppose you had been Jesus, what religion would you have preached?"
16895Surely it is not too much to ask him to give me a tenth when I gave him all?
16895Surely you did n''t think him an actor?"
16895Surely, I am better worth knowing than Shakespeare?"
16895That I recognised that the ultimate moment had come and recognised it as being really a great relief?
16895That is the book[6] of pity and of love which I am writing now-- a terrible book...."I wonder would you publish it, Frank?
16895That night I said to him:"You know we are going away to- morrow evening: I hope you''ll be ready?
16895That you were"very young"when our friendship began?
16895The difference was Frank was proud of meeting Balfour while Balfour was proud of meeting me: d''ye see?"
16895Then suddenly:"Why do n''t you buy the scenario and write the play yourself?"
16895Then why did he allow himself to be hag- ridden to his ruin by such a creature?
16895Vous ne m''oublierez pas?..._"As we turned to walk along the boulevard I noticed that the boy, too, had disappeared.
16895Was he wrong or was I wrong?"
16895Was his punishment making him a little spiteful or was it the temptation of the witty phrase?
16895We are fated to suffer, do n''t you think?
16895Were you careless of others''sufferings?
16895What am I to do?"
16895What an absurdity it all was, Frank: how dared they punish me for what is good in my eyes?
16895What belief have I?
16895What can Americans know about English literature?...
16895What can it matter to me whether you write or not?
16895What difference is there between one form of sexual indulgence and another?
16895What do you know of the average man or of his opinions?
16895What had I done?
16895What hinders us from indulging in this appetite but prejudice, sacred prejudice, an instinctive loathing at the bare idea?
16895What indeed had he to live for who had abandoned all the fair uses of life?
16895What is the good of it?
16895What right has society to punish us unless it can prove we have hurt or injured someone else against his will?
16895What should I do?"
16895What sweet is there in its bitter?
16895What was the good of me?
16895What was there, as a mere matter of fact, in you that I could influence?
16895What will you make of it?
16895What would he make of two years''hard labour in a lonely cell?
16895When are you going to reach that serenity?"
16895When he got me three or four paces away he said, hesitatingly:"Frank, could you... can you let me have a few pounds?
16895When people asked,''What has Frank Harris been?''
16895When we got into the train again he began:"We stop next at Marseilles, do n''t we, Frank?
16895Who shall say they are wrong?
16895Who shall sneer at their instinctive repulsion hallowed by ages of successful endeavour?"
16895Who would deny to- day that he was a quickening and liberating influence?
16895Why ca n''t you?"
16895Why did he take my advice, if he did n''t want to?
16895Why did n''t I earn money?
16895Why do they do it, Frank?
16895Why do they want to make my life here one long misery?"
16895Why must I take off my boots?''
16895Why not make the effort?"
16895Why should I write any more?
16895Why should he deny himself the immediate enjoyment for a very vague and questionable future benefit?
16895Why?
16895Will you ask me why then, when I was in prison, I accepted with grateful thanks your offer?
16895Wo n''t Sunday do, Frank?"
16895Wo n''t you ask him?"
16895Wo n''t you speak to him, Frank?"
16895Women have infinitely more courage than men, do n''t you think?
16895Would any girl have stared through the window and been glad to see you inside amusing yourself with other men and women?
16895Would n''t you be angry, Frank?"
16895Would you be ready to start South on Thursday next?"
16895Your brain?
16895Your heart?
16895Your imagination?
16895[ 4] Extraordinary, was it not?
16895or has gold flown away from you?
16895Ã   Charing Cross, n''est- ce- pas, Monsieur?
16894''How could you help loving Narcissus?'' 16894 ''How dared you say such a thing about your son and me?''
16894''Was he beautiful?'' 16894 ''Who should know that better than you?''
16894''Why does he give it back to me?'' 16894 ''Would n''t let you''?
16894''You said you were sorry,''questioned his mother, leaning over him,''and asked God to make you a good boy?'' 16894 ''You silly fellow,''I exclaimed,''of course not; I''m always glad to be with you: but perhaps you will be coming up to Trinity too; wo n''t you?''
16894''You will write to me, Oscar, wo n''t you, and tell me about everything?'' 16894 After the second offence you went back?"
16894Among the five men Taylor introduced you to, was one named Parker?
16894And did you find any teacher there like Mahaffy?
16894And you took money from this man who had violated you against your will?
16894But how did he come to know a creature like Wood?
16894But how did such a letter,I cried,"ever get into the hands of a blackmailer?"
16894But the letter?
16894But what can I do, Frank?
16894But what good is it, Frank, what good is it?
16894But what will people say?
16894But where to?
16894But why not?
16894But will Carson call witnesses?
16894But you are innocent,I cried in amaze,"are n''t you?"
16894But you did know that Parker was not a literary character or an artist, and that culture was not his strong point?
16894But you went back to Dr. Wilde''s study after the awful assault?
16894But, Frank, what about the people who have stood bail for me? 16894 Come now, really,"cried Knight,"you can not think much of the play?"
16894Did Charlie Parker go and have tea with you there?
16894Did I say anything in the heat of argument that could have offended Oscar or Douglas?
16894Did Mr. Wilde ever consider the effect in his writings of inciting to immorality?
16894Did Taylor bring Scarfe to you at St. James''s Place?
16894Did Taylor''s rooms strike you as peculiar?
16894Did he ever attempt to repeat the offence?
16894Did he ever repeat it again?
16894Did he tell you that he was employed by a firm of bookmakers?
16894Did n''t you?
16894Did that cause you to drop your acquaintance with Taylor?
16894Did they give you anything?
16894Did you ask him to dinner at Kettner''s?
16894Did you call him''Charlie''and allow him to call you''Oscar''?
16894Did you call him''Fred''and let him call you''Oscar''?
16894Did you ever kiss him?
16894Did you get Taylor to arrange dinners for you to meet young men?
16894Did you get on friendly terms with him?
16894Did you give Charlie Parker a silver cigarette case at Christmas?
16894Did you give Scarfe a cigarette case?
16894Did you give him money or a cigarette case?
16894Did you give him money?
16894Did you give him money?
16894Did you give money or presents to these five?
16894Did you go in for games?
16894Did you go to Paris with him?
16894Did you know Parker was a gentleman''s servant out of work, and his brother a groom?
16894Did you know Taylor was being watched by the police?
16894Did you know Walter Grainger?...
16894Did you know that Charlie Parker had enlisted in the Army?
16894Did you know that Taylor was arrested with a man named Parker in a raid made last year on a house in Fitzroy Square?
16894Did you make friends with any of them?
16894Did you meet him afterwards?
16894Did you say that in support of your statement that you never kissed him?
16894Did you tell anyone of what had taken place?
16894Did you visit him one night at 12:30 at Park Walk, Chelsea?
16894Did you write him any beautiful prose- poems?
16894Difficult to explain, Frank, is n''t it, without the truth?
16894Do you know the meaning of the word, sir?
16894Do you mean it really?
16894Do you mean you will not come and spend a week yachting with me?
16894Do you see those lights yonder?
16894Do you think so, really?
16894Do you understand?
16894Had Mr. Wilde written in a publication called_ The Chameleon_?
16894Had he kept it in his hands, then, all the time you were unconscious?
16894Had he written there a story called''The Priest and the Acolyte''?
16894Had you chambers in St. James''s Place?
16894Has Taylor been to your house and to your chambers?
16894Have n''t you a watch?
16894Have you been to Taylor''s rooms to afternoon tea parties?
16894Have you ever met Sidney Mavor there at tea?
16894Have you ever met there a young man called Wood?
16894Have you ever seen them lit by anything else but candles even in the day time?
16894He was the Gamaliel then?
16894How do you mean?
16894How many young men has Taylor introduced to you?
16894How old was Parker?
16894How wonderful of you, Frank; what do you like so much?
16894I hope the warders are kind to you?
16894I said to him,''I suppose, Lord Queensberry, you have come to apologise for the libellous letter you wrote about me?'' 16894 I was not at any of the rehearsals; but so far it is surely the best comedy in English, the most brilliant: is n''t it?"
16894Is it possible?
16894Is that going in a book, Oscar?
16894Is the food good?
16894Is there nothing I can do for you, nothing you want?
16894It is impossible, Frank, and ridiculous; why should I give up my friends for Queensberry?
16894Just to show it to you?
16894Loves?
16894May I bring Bosie?
16894Much smoke, then,I queried,"and no fire?"
16894My friend was very silent, I remember, and only interrupted me to ask:''When do you go, Oscar?''
16894No, no,I said,"why should I be angry?
16894Nonsense,I cried;"now where are we going?"
16894Nonsense,I replied,"who would arrest you?
16894Not a literary man or an artist, was he?
16894Not even your father?
16894Nothing,I answered,"why should I bother?
16894Of course he defied you?
16894Oh, Frank, how could I?
16894Oh, Frank,he cried,"how can I do that?"
16894Scarfe was out of work, was he not?
16894Surely you went about with some younger boy, did you not, to whom you told your dreams and hopes, and whom you grew to care for?
16894Thank God,I said,"but why did n''t Sir Edward Clarke bring that out?"
16894The Wood letters to Lord Alfred Douglas I told you about? 16894 The prophet must proclaim himself, eh?
16894The question is,said someone,"will Wilde face the music?"
16894Then they knew you as a great talker even at Oxford?
16894Then why did you mention his ugliness, I ask you?
16894Then why not cease to see Bosie?
16894Then, Oscar,I said,"perhaps you wo n''t mind Shaw hearing what I advise?"
16894They are pork- packers, I suppose?
16894This is the first time you have told about this second and third assault, is it not?
16894Was Taylor at the dinner?
16894Was that a reason why you should say the boy was ugly?
16894Was that story immoral?
16894Was that the reason why you did not kiss him?
16894Was there ever any impropriety between you?
16894What about the inside of the platter, Oscar?
16894What age was he?
16894What are you laughing at, Frank?
16894What can I do, Frank?
16894What could I say, Frank? 16894 What did he give you in return?"
16894What do you mean?
16894What do you say, Oscar, will you come and try a homely French bourgeois dinner to- morrow evening at an inn I know almost at the water''s edge? 16894 What do you think of this view?"
16894What happened?
16894What has happened since?
16894What is it, Frank?
16894What is one to do with such a madman?
16894What letters do you mean, Frank?
16894What on earth can you see in him to admire?
16894What on earth''s the matter?
16894What was there in common between you and Charlie Parker?
16894What was your connection with Taylor?
16894What were the students like in Dublin?
16894What''s impossible?
16894What''s it all about?
16894What''s the matter, Oscar?
16894When did you first meet Ernest Scarfe?
16894When did you first meet Fred Atkins?
16894When did you first meet Mavor?
16894When you heard that Taylor was arrested what did you do?
16894Where are you going?
16894Where did you first meet Parker?
16894Who introduced him to you?
16894Who is Bosie?
16894Why did you mention his ugliness?
16894Why did you not answer Miss Travers when she wrote telling you of your husband''s attempt on her virtue?
16894Why let your imagination run away with you?
16894Why not?
16894Why not?
16894Why not?
16894Yes, Frank, where to?
16894Yet you returned again?
16894You asked him for money?
16894You really would not like the Café Royal?
16894You say that the defendant is''not guilty,''and that is the verdict of you all?
16894You should have gone,I cried in French, hot with indignation;"why did n''t you go, the moment you came out of the court?"
16894You went again and again, did you not?
16894Your brother?
16894*****"Do n''t you want to make them all speak of you and wonder at you again?
16894Again the judge interposed with the probing question:"Did you say anything about chloroform in your pamphlet?"
16894Alfred Douglas?
16894Almost immediately scandalous stories came into circulation concerning them:"Have you heard the latest about Lord Alfred and Oscar?
16894And I went on arguing, if Gattie were right, why_ two_ boys?
16894And how can this man have a fair trial now when the papers for weeks past have been filled with violent diatribes against him and his works?"
16894And then the last verse would be quoted:--"Divine, do n''t ye think?"
16894As we turned into Oakley Street, Oscar said to me:"You are not angry with me, Frank?"
16894At the very door Mrs. Jeune came up to me:"Have you ever met Mr. Oscar Wilde?
16894Being a little short- sighted, I asked:"Is n''t that Mr. Oscar Wilde?"
16894But Carson was not to be warded off; like a terrier he sprang again and again:"Why, sir, did you mention that this boy was extremely ugly?"
16894But after all how could he help it?
16894But at the time all such matters were lost for me in the questions: would the authorities arrest Oscar?
16894But was there a seduction?
16894But why not boys of his own class?
16894But why on earth did Alfred Douglas, knowing the truth, ever wish you to attack Queensberry?"
16894Could anything be done?
16894Could more be desired than perfection perfected?
16894Did Jesus suffer in vain?
16894Did he postpone the sentence in order not to frighten the next jury by the severity of it?
16894Did you ever adore any man?"
16894Do you happen to know where Erith is?"
16894Do you remember Wordsworth speaks''of the wind in the trees''?
16894Do you still hold to that assertion?"
16894Does not the prospect tempt you?"
16894English judges always resent and resist such popular outbursts: why not in this case?
16894Examining Oscar as to his letters to Lord Alfred Douglas, Sir Frank Lockwood wanted to know whether he thought them"decent"?
16894Foreman:"Or ever contemplated?"
16894Frank, would you?
16894Gill:"And Lord Queensberry may be discharged?"
16894Had he acted out of aristocratic insolence, or was he by any possibility high- minded?
16894Had not Wilde also rendered distinguished services to his country?
16894Had the police asked for a warrant?
16894He must be mad, Frank, do n''t you think?
16894He questioned me:"What is the alternative, Frank, the wisest thing to do in your opinion?
16894He surprised me by saying:"A year, Frank, they may give me a year?
16894Here you have the opportunity of making your name known just as widely; why not avail yourself of it?
16894His efforts to collect his ideas were not aided by Mr. Carson''s sharp staccato repetition:"Why?
16894His reputation was always rather--''_high_,''shall we call it?"
16894How can I get evidence or think in this place of torture?
16894How could I verify this impression, I asked myself, so as to warn him effectually?
16894How did he know Dogberry and Pistol, Bardolph and Doll Tearsheet?
16894I asked him could I charter it?
16894I asked, smiling,"or in an article?
16894I asked,"any professor with a touch of the poet?"
16894I gasped; what had happened?
16894I have also got a new sitting- room.... Why are you not here, my dear, my wonderful boy?
16894I questioned,"at whose feet you sat?"
16894I wonder can I do it in a week, or will it take three?
16894If you were in France, everyone would be asking: will he come back or disappear altogether?
16894In one hour she would be free of the Thames and on the high seas--(delightful phrase, eh?)
16894Is it not dreadful the way they insult the fallen?"
16894Is this true, or do you not know of it?
16894Mr. Carson:"Of course the costs of the defence will follow?"
16894Mr. Justice Wills:"Were you agreed as to the charge on the other counts?"
16894My contempt for Courts of law deepened: those twelve jurymen were anything but the peers of the accused: how could they judge him?
16894On all sides one was asked:"Have you seen Oscar''s latest?"
16894Oscar then rose and asked,"Where shall I be taken?"
16894Robert Ross urged him to accept Mathew''s offer; but he would not: why?
16894Seeing that I did not respond he challenged me:"What do you think of it?"
16894Shall I come to Salisbury?
16894Still she could not give him much; the difficulty was only postponed; what was to be done?
16894Subtle, was n''t it?"
16894Suddenly the younger of the boys asked:"Did you sy they was niked?"
16894That is our duty to our neighbour, Frank; but sometimes we mislay it, do n''t we?"
16894The issue had narrowed down to terrible straits: would it be utter ruin to Oscar or merely loss of the case and reputation?
16894The judge here interposed with the crucial question:"Did you know that you had been violated?"
16894The jury having consulted for a few moments, the Clerk of Arraigns asked:"Do you find the plea of justification has been proved or not?"
16894The man turned round, recognised Him and said,''I was blind; Thou didst heal me; what else should I do with my sight?''"
16894The uncle wonders why Lord Dartmoor wants to marry an American and grumbles about her people:"Has she got any?"
16894They allow you books, do n''t they?"
16894To my astonishment he faced me and said:"And my sureties?"
16894To my surprise he was cold and said, a little bitterly, I thought:"''You seem glad to go?''
16894Was it worth while to stir up all the foul mud again, in order to beat the beaten?
16894What am I to do?"
16894What can I do?"
16894What could I say?"
16894What did he mean by saying that Oscar was a"centre of extensive corruption of the most hideous kind"?
16894What do I care?
16894What was to be done next?
16894What was to be done?
16894What will this professor of Æsthetics make of it?
16894What would people think if they saw you?''
16894What would you give, when a book of yours comes out, to be able to write a long article drawing attention to it in_ The Pall Mall Gazette_?
16894Where Whistler had missed the laurel how could he or indeed anyone be sure of winning?
16894Where did he get this new knowledge?
16894Who had given him the new and precise information?
16894Who was inspiring him?
16894Why are you alone in London, and when do you go to Salisbury?
16894Why did he not tell him his case could not possibly be won?
16894Why give up like that?
16894Why had he taken the risk?
16894Why had not Mr. Carson put some of the young men he spoke of in the box?
16894Why is Pears''soap successful?
16894Why not?
16894Why on earth did Sir Edward Clarke not advise Oscar in this way weeks before?
16894Why should I belabour the beaten?
16894Why should I cringe to this madman?"
16894Why should any taste be ostracised?
16894Why?
16894Wilde rose and cried,"Can I say anything, my lord?"
16894Will civilisation never reach humane ideals?
16894Will men always punish most severely the sins they do not understand and which hold for them no temptation?
16894Willie''s friend seemed amused at the lyrical outburst of the green spinster, for smiling a little she questioned him:"''Speranza''is Lady Wilde?"
16894Would Sir Edward Clarke fight the case as it should be fought?
16894Would he be able to do that?
16894Would he bridle his desires, live savingly, and write assiduously till such repute came as would enable him to launch out and indulge his tastes?
16894Would he put Taylor in the box?
16894Would the huntsman give the word?
16894Would vanity do anything?
16894Would you in your position as editor of_ The Fortnightly_ come and give evidence for me, testify for instance that''Dorian Gray''is not immoral?"
16894You''ve never seen the mouth of the Thames at night, have you?
16894and declare his own mission?"
16894half the possible sentence: the middle course, that English Judges always take: the sort of compromise they think safe?"
16894or will he manifest himself henceforth in some new comedies, more joyous and pagan than ever?"
16894or would they allow him to escape?
16894why did you add that?")
16894why?
