7993 | Whence this love for every place and every country but that in which we reside-- for every occupation but our own? |
7993 | Whence this romantic turn that all our family are possessed with? |
7993 | Where is Charles? |
7993 | Who will not say that Goldsmith had not the best of this petty contest? |
7993 | Why do you get up before the cloth is removed? |
7993 | Why is a cow''s tail long? |
7993 | Why is a fox''s tail bushy?" |
7993 | Why the plague, then, so fond of Ireland? |
7993 | Will you have some apples?" |
7993 | You are perhaps the worst-- eh, eh?'' |
7993 | _''What, yon solemn- faced, odd- looking man that stands near? |
7993 | and from whom? |
7993 | but how? |
7993 | cried Garrick,"with twopence halfpenny in your pocket?" |
7993 | do you mean tardiness of locomotion?" |
7993 | exclaimed the bishop,''is that the hawthorn- bush? |
7993 | glancing at an old woman''s stall; then, recollecting the print- shop window:"Sam,"said he,"have you seen my picture by Sir Joshua Reynolds? |
7993 | replied I,''cut down the bush that supplies so beautiful an image in The Deserted Village?'' |
7993 | say, philosophic sage, Whose genius suits so well this tasteful age, Is the Pantheon, late a sink obscene, Become the fountain of chaste Hippocrene? |
7993 | take courage, come do,''...''Who, I? |
7993 | this desire of fortune, and yet this eagerness to dissipate? |
7993 | your good worships, how could they be wiser, When both have been spoil''d in to- day''s''Advertiser''?" |
16895 | ''Why?'' 16895 All her suffering did not endear her to you?" |
16895 | And Ellen? |
16895 | And Wells? |
16895 | And now? |
16895 | And so the great romantic passion comes to this tame conclusion? |
16895 | And what is such a prejudice? |
16895 | And what of your compatriot, George Moore? 16895 And your''Ballad of a Fisher Boy''?" |
16895 | Are n''t you a little deaf still? |
16895 | Are you talking of Oscar Wilde? |
16895 | As I can do no good,I said,"do you mind letting me sleep? |
16895 | But I will give you more,I cried,"what will clear you?" |
16895 | But if I got you a petition from men of letters, asking you to release Wilde for his health''s sake: would that do? |
16895 | But suppose he retorted and said you led him astray, what could I answer? |
16895 | But they could give you some cotton wool or something to put in it? |
16895 | But why should he have fame and state and power? |
16895 | But,I said,"will you?" |
16895 | Did you ever care for Hardy? |
16895 | Do you believe I should be left to suffer? 16895 Do you know my word for them, Frank? |
16895 | Do you know that my wife is dead, Frank? 16895 Do you remember Verlaine, Frank? |
16895 | Do you see that? |
16895 | Have you consulted a doctor? |
16895 | Have you ever learned how wonderful a thing pity is? 16895 Have you written any of it?" |
16895 | He is charming, Frank, and well read, and he admires me very much: you wo n''t mind his dining with us, will you? |
16895 | He''s got his money back; what more can he want? 16895 How absurd such schools are, are they not?" |
16895 | How can you talk of such intimacy as love? 16895 How dared those little wretches condemn me and punish me? |
16895 | How 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? |
16895 | I should rebel,I cried;"why do you let it break the spirit?" |
16895 | I think, I believe... would another fifty be too much? |
16895 | I wonder if any punishment will teach humanity to such people, or understanding of their own baseness? |
16895 | I''m sorry,he said, looking for his hat;"will you come out in the morning and see the''gees''?" |
16895 | I''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?" |
16895 | In Naples? |
16895 | In notes please, will you? 16895 Is n''t she a dear old lady?" |
16895 | Is that what you are suffering from? |
16895 | Is there anyone else? |
16895 | Is there nothing I can do? |
16895 | Is there nothing else I can do? 16895 It is,"I said,"a great scene; why do n''t you write it?" |
16895 | May I come in? |
16895 | Might he come? |
16895 | Now you have talked about romance and companionship,I went on,"but can you really feel passion?" |
16895 | Now, 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? |
16895 | Of course,I said,"what is it?" |
16895 | Oh, yes, Frank, of course; but how could Shakespeare with his beautiful nature love a woman to that mad excess? |
16895 | On Thursday? |
16895 | Rather dirty, do n''t you think? |
16895 | Really? |
16895 | Really? |
16895 | Shall we get a boat and row across the bay? |
16895 | Surely,I said,"Oscar will not be imprisoned for the full term; surely four or five months for good conduct will be remitted?" |
16895 | The first period was the worst? |
16895 | The interview is over,I said;"will you take me downstairs?" |
16895 | The same champagne, Frank, do n''t you think? |
16895 | Then what would you do,asked someone,"about the lower education of man?" |
16895 | Then you wo n''t help me for the rest of the winter? |
16895 | Then, Frank, you only cared for me in so far as I agreed with you? |
16895 | Tired after a mile? |
16895 | Vous êtes Jules, n''est- ce pas? |
16895 | Was the food the worst of it? |
16895 | What about Bernard Shaw? |
16895 | What about the verse? |
16895 | What about the warders? |
16895 | What 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?" |
16895 | What do you mean? |
16895 | What do you think has happened, Frank? |
16895 | What do you think of Arthur Symons? |
16895 | What is it now? |
16895 | What is it now? |
16895 | What is the matter? |
16895 | What on earth do you mean? |
16895 | What on earth''s the matter? |
16895 | What religion is mine? 16895 What shall we drink?" |
16895 | What would you, Frank? 16895 Where are we going? |
16895 | Who could resist it, Frank? 16895 Why did he not wait? |
16895 | Why do you argue against me, Frank? 16895 Why not?" |
16895 | Why 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? |
16895 | Wo n''t you see what can be done? |
16895 | Wo n''t you tell me what you''ve done? |
16895 | Would any girl take a parting like that? 16895 You were an intimate friend of his, were you not?" |
16895 | You 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? |
16895 | As soon as the means of life were straitened, he became sullen and began reproaching me; why did n''t I write? |
16895 | At Wandsworth I thought I should go mad; Wandsworth is the worst: no dungeon in hell can be worse; why is the food so bad? |
16895 | At length she began to expatiate on the cheapness of things in France; did Mr. Melmoth know how wonderfully cheap and good the living was? |
16895 | Before parting I said to him:"You wo n''t forget that you are going on Thursday night?" |
16895 | But 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? |
16895 | But 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? |
16895 | But 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? |
16895 | But 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? |
16895 | But how in that case could Oscar have felt quite safe with you? |
16895 | But was n''t it mean of him?" |
16895 | But what of defeat? |
16895 | But you wo n''t say anything I have said to you, you promise me you wo n''t?" |
16895 | By the by, I hear that you have been reconciled to your wife; is that true? |
16895 | Can I pay this and get them out? |
16895 | Could Oscar Wilde have won and made for himself a new and greater life? |
16895 | Could you do the first act?" |
16895 | Did I ask you for it at the end? |
16895 | Did you lack respect for others? |
16895 | Do n''t you think that is all anyone can ask of me?" |
16895 | Do you ever think of that? |
16895 | Do you know her history?" |
16895 | Do you know what Liesse is? |
16895 | Do you know, my dear fellow, it was pity which prevented my killing myself? |
16895 | Do you mind? |
16895 | Do you really mean it?" |
16895 | Do 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? |
16895 | Do you remember how Browning''s Sarto defends himself? |
16895 | Do you remember how Socrates says he felt when the chlamys blew aside and showed him the limbs of Charmides? |
16895 | Do you remember talking to me, Frank, of France?" |
16895 | Do you still say, as you said to Robbie in your answer, that I"attribute unworthy motives"to you? |
16895 | Do you think I exaggerate? |
16895 | Do you think I should dread the issue or allow myself to be silenced by a judge? |
16895 | Do you think he could have silenced me? |
16895 | Do you think the idea absurd? |
16895 | Do you want to know what this new world is? |
16895 | Do you want to learn what it was? |
16895 | Do you wonder that I can not write, Frank? |
16895 | Every day I said to myself,"I must keep love in my heart to- day, else how shall I live through the day?" |
16895 | Hammer or anvil-- which? |
16895 | Hammer or anvil? |
16895 | Has it come to that between you?" |
16895 | Have you come to grief through self- indulgence and good- living? |
16895 | Have you got my silver spoon[15] from Reggie? |
16895 | He has no passion, no feeling, and without passionate feeling how can one be an artist? |
16895 | His friends came to me, asking: could anything be done? |
16895 | His weakness was pathetic, or was it that his affection was still so great that he wanted to blame himself rather than his friend? |
16895 | How can one desire what is shapeless, deformed, ugly? |
16895 | How can you have the flower of romance without a brotherhood of soul?" |
16895 | How can you idealise it? |
16895 | How could I help believing him, how could I keep away from him? |
16895 | How could I help feeling sure? |
16895 | How could you frighten me as you did? |
16895 | How dared they?" |
16895 | How else was a silly, narrow judge able to wave you to silence? |
16895 | How many names should I get?" |
16895 | How would Oscar Wilde take punishment? |
16895 | I asked in amazement;"did not call forth that pity in you which you used to speak of as divine?" |
16895 | I asked,"or have you learned reason at last?" |
16895 | I can understand how you have opened to him a new heaven and a new earth, but what has he given you? |
16895 | I could not guess; but then I was often punished for nothing: what was it? |
16895 | I do n''t care what they say, I likes him; and he do talk beautiful, sir, do n''t he?" |
16895 | I hope you have made it up with her?" |
16895 | I laughed;"who has inspired this new devotion?" |
16895 | I pray thee speak me sooth What is thy name?" |
16895 | I spoke of your conduct to me on three successive days three years ago, did I not? |
16895 | I stared at him; I had given him a cheque at the beginning of the dinner: had he forgotten? |
16895 | I suppose I said,''Then what on earth has happened to you?'' |
16895 | I think he ought to give me that at the very least, do n''t you? |
16895 | I want you to have a perfect six months, and how can you if you are bothered with debts?" |
16895 | If I go into prison without love, what will become of my soul?" |
16895 | If you do n''t bear fruit why should men care for you?" |
16895 | Is it my fault? |
16895 | Is n''t it extraordinary? |
16895 | Is n''t poverty dreadful?" |
16895 | It is quite clear that he must adopt orphans, is it not? |
16895 | It would not be an avowable reason that we hoped Wilde would write new plays and books, would it? |
16895 | MY DEAR FRANK: How are you? |
16895 | May I have it again this month? |
16895 | My father got into trouble once in Dublin, perhaps you have heard about it?" |
16895 | Need I say that this is a miracle? |
16895 | Need I tell you what I thought of you during the two lonely wretched days of illness that followed? |
16895 | Or did he perchance want to keep the hundred pounds intact for some reason? |
16895 | Or have you ever compared the aforesaid First edition with the original? |
16895 | Or on my frailties why are frailer spies, Which in their wills count bad what I think good?" |
16895 | Oscar stopped on the sidewalk:"And what have I to live for, Bobbie?" |
16895 | She wrote again, saying that she had paid £100 for the scenario: would I see Mr. Kyrle Bellew on the matter? |
16895 | Suppose I like a food that is poison to other people, and yet quickens me; how dare they punish me for eating of it?" |
16895 | Suppose we stop and get some?" |
16895 | Suppose you had been Jesus, what religion would you have preached?" |
16895 | Surely it is not too much to ask him to give me a tenth when I gave him all? |
16895 | Surely you did n''t think him an actor?" |
16895 | Surely, I am better worth knowing than Shakespeare?" |
16895 | That I recognised that the ultimate moment had come and recognised it as being really a great relief? |
16895 | That is the book[6] of pity and of love which I am writing now-- a terrible book...."I wonder would you publish it, Frank? |
16895 | That night I said to him:"You know we are going away to- morrow evening: I hope you''ll be ready? |
16895 | That you were"very young"when our friendship began? |
16895 | The difference was Frank was proud of meeting Balfour while Balfour was proud of meeting me: d''ye see?" |
16895 | Then suddenly:"Why do n''t you buy the scenario and write the play yourself?" |
16895 | Then why did he allow himself to be hag- ridden to his ruin by such a creature? |
16895 | Vous ne m''oublierez pas?..._"As we turned to walk along the boulevard I noticed that the boy, too, had disappeared. |
16895 | Was he wrong or was I wrong?" |
16895 | Was his punishment making him a little spiteful or was it the temptation of the witty phrase? |
16895 | We are fated to suffer, do n''t you think? |
16895 | Were you careless of others''sufferings? |
16895 | What am I to do?" |
16895 | What an absurdity it all was, Frank: how dared they punish me for what is good in my eyes? |
16895 | What belief have I? |
16895 | What can Americans know about English literature?... |
16895 | What can it matter to me whether you write or not? |
16895 | What difference is there between one form of sexual indulgence and another? |
16895 | What do you know of the average man or of his opinions? |
16895 | What had I done? |
16895 | What hinders us from indulging in this appetite but prejudice, sacred prejudice, an instinctive loathing at the bare idea? |
16895 | What indeed had he to live for who had abandoned all the fair uses of life? |
16895 | What is the good of it? |
16895 | What right has society to punish us unless it can prove we have hurt or injured someone else against his will? |
16895 | What should I do?" |
16895 | What sweet is there in its bitter? |
16895 | What was the good of me? |
16895 | What was there, as a mere matter of fact, in you that I could influence? |
16895 | What will you make of it? |
16895 | What would he make of two years''hard labour in a lonely cell? |
16895 | When are you going to reach that serenity?" |
16895 | When he got me three or four paces away he said, hesitatingly:"Frank, could you... can you let me have a few pounds? |
16895 | When people asked,''What has Frank Harris been?'' |
16895 | When we got into the train again he began:"We stop next at Marseilles, do n''t we, Frank? |
16895 | Who shall say they are wrong? |
16895 | Who shall sneer at their instinctive repulsion hallowed by ages of successful endeavour?" |
16895 | Who would deny to- day that he was a quickening and liberating influence? |
16895 | Why ca n''t you?" |
16895 | Why did he take my advice, if he did n''t want to? |
16895 | Why did n''t I earn money? |
16895 | Why do they do it, Frank? |
16895 | Why do they want to make my life here one long misery?" |
16895 | Why must I take off my boots?'' |
16895 | Why not make the effort?" |
16895 | Why should I write any more? |
16895 | Why should he deny himself the immediate enjoyment for a very vague and questionable future benefit? |
16895 | Why? |
16895 | Will you ask me why then, when I was in prison, I accepted with grateful thanks your offer? |
16895 | Wo n''t Sunday do, Frank?" |
16895 | Wo n''t you ask him?" |
16895 | Wo n''t you speak to him, Frank?" |
16895 | Women have infinitely more courage than men, do n''t you think? |
16895 | Would any girl have stared through the window and been glad to see you inside amusing yourself with other men and women? |
16895 | Would n''t you be angry, Frank?" |
16895 | Would you be ready to start South on Thursday next?" |
16895 | Your brain? |
16895 | Your heart? |
16895 | Your imagination? |
16895 | [ 4] Extraordinary, was it not? |
16895 | or has gold flown away from you? |
16895 | Ã 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?" |
16894 | Among the five men Taylor introduced you to, was one named Parker? |
16894 | And did you find any teacher there like Mahaffy? |
16894 | And you took money from this man who had violated you against your will? |
16894 | But how did he come to know a creature like Wood? |
16894 | But how did such a letter,I cried,"ever get into the hands of a blackmailer?" |
16894 | But the letter? |
16894 | But what can I do, Frank? |
16894 | But what good is it, Frank, what good is it? |
16894 | But what will people say? |
16894 | But where to? |
16894 | But why not? |
16894 | But will Carson call witnesses? |
16894 | But you are innocent,I cried in amaze,"are n''t you?" |
16894 | But you did know that Parker was not a literary character or an artist, and that culture was not his strong point? |
16894 | But you went back to Dr. Wilde''s study after the awful assault? |
16894 | But, 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?" |
16894 | Did Charlie Parker go and have tea with you there? |
16894 | Did I say anything in the heat of argument that could have offended Oscar or Douglas? |
16894 | Did Mr. Wilde ever consider the effect in his writings of inciting to immorality? |
16894 | Did Taylor bring Scarfe to you at St. James''s Place? |
16894 | Did Taylor''s rooms strike you as peculiar? |
16894 | Did he ever attempt to repeat the offence? |
16894 | Did he ever repeat it again? |
16894 | Did he tell you that he was employed by a firm of bookmakers? |
16894 | Did n''t you? |
16894 | Did that cause you to drop your acquaintance with Taylor? |
16894 | Did they give you anything? |
16894 | Did you ask him to dinner at Kettner''s? |
16894 | Did you call him''Charlie''and allow him to call you''Oscar''? |
16894 | Did you call him''Fred''and let him call you''Oscar''? |
16894 | Did you ever kiss him? |
16894 | Did you get Taylor to arrange dinners for you to meet young men? |
16894 | Did you get on friendly terms with him? |
16894 | Did you give Charlie Parker a silver cigarette case at Christmas? |
16894 | Did you give Scarfe a cigarette case? |
16894 | Did you give him money or a cigarette case? |
16894 | Did you give him money? |
16894 | Did you give him money? |
16894 | Did you give money or presents to these five? |
16894 | Did you go in for games? |
16894 | Did you go to Paris with him? |
16894 | Did you know Parker was a gentleman''s servant out of work, and his brother a groom? |
16894 | Did you know Taylor was being watched by the police? |
16894 | Did you know Walter Grainger?... |
16894 | Did you know that Charlie Parker had enlisted in the Army? |
16894 | Did you know that Taylor was arrested with a man named Parker in a raid made last year on a house in Fitzroy Square? |
16894 | Did you make friends with any of them? |
16894 | Did you meet him afterwards? |
16894 | Did you say that in support of your statement that you never kissed him? |
16894 | Did you tell anyone of what had taken place? |
16894 | Did you visit him one night at 12:30 at Park Walk, Chelsea? |
16894 | Did you write him any beautiful prose- poems? |
16894 | Difficult to explain, Frank, is n''t it, without the truth? |
16894 | Do you know the meaning of the word, sir? |
16894 | Do you mean it really? |
16894 | Do you mean you will not come and spend a week yachting with me? |
16894 | Do you see those lights yonder? |
16894 | Do you think so, really? |
16894 | Do you understand? |
16894 | Had Mr. Wilde written in a publication called_ The Chameleon_? |
16894 | Had he kept it in his hands, then, all the time you were unconscious? |
16894 | Had he written there a story called''The Priest and the Acolyte''? |
16894 | Had you chambers in St. James''s Place? |
16894 | Has Taylor been to your house and to your chambers? |
16894 | Have n''t you a watch? |
16894 | Have you been to Taylor''s rooms to afternoon tea parties? |
16894 | Have you ever met Sidney Mavor there at tea? |
16894 | Have you ever met there a young man called Wood? |
16894 | Have you ever seen them lit by anything else but candles even in the day time? |
16894 | He was the Gamaliel then? |
16894 | How do you mean? |
16894 | How many young men has Taylor introduced to you? |
16894 | How old was Parker? |
16894 | How wonderful of you, Frank; what do you like so much? |
16894 | I hope the warders are kind to you? |
16894 | I 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?" |
16894 | Is it possible? |
16894 | Is that going in a book, Oscar? |
16894 | Is the food good? |
16894 | Is there nothing I can do for you, nothing you want? |
16894 | It is impossible, Frank, and ridiculous; why should I give up my friends for Queensberry? |
16894 | Just to show it to you? |
16894 | Loves? |
16894 | May I bring Bosie? |
16894 | Much smoke, then,I queried,"and no fire?" |
16894 | My friend was very silent, I remember, and only interrupted me to ask:''When do you go, Oscar?'' |
16894 | No, no,I said,"why should I be angry? |
16894 | Nonsense,I cried;"now where are we going?" |
16894 | Nonsense,I replied,"who would arrest you? |
16894 | Not a literary man or an artist, was he? |
16894 | Not even your father? |
16894 | Nothing,I answered,"why should I bother? |
16894 | Of course he defied you? |
16894 | Oh, Frank, how could I? |
16894 | Oh, Frank,he cried,"how can I do that?" |
16894 | Scarfe was out of work, was he not? |
16894 | Surely 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? |
16894 | Thank God,I said,"but why did n''t Sir Edward Clarke bring that out?" |
16894 | The Wood letters to Lord Alfred Douglas I told you about? 16894 The prophet must proclaim himself, eh? |
16894 | The question is,said someone,"will Wilde face the music?" |
16894 | Then they knew you as a great talker even at Oxford? |
16894 | Then why did you mention his ugliness, I ask you? |
16894 | Then why not cease to see Bosie? |
16894 | Then, Oscar,I said,"perhaps you wo n''t mind Shaw hearing what I advise?" |
16894 | They are pork- packers, I suppose? |
16894 | This is the first time you have told about this second and third assault, is it not? |
16894 | Was Taylor at the dinner? |
16894 | Was that a reason why you should say the boy was ugly? |
16894 | Was that story immoral? |
16894 | Was that the reason why you did not kiss him? |
16894 | Was there ever any impropriety between you? |
16894 | What about the inside of the platter, Oscar? |
16894 | What age was he? |
16894 | What are you laughing at, Frank? |
16894 | What can I do, Frank? |
16894 | What could I say, Frank? 16894 What did he give you in return?" |
16894 | What do you mean? |
16894 | What 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?" |
16894 | What happened? |
16894 | What has happened since? |
16894 | What is it, Frank? |
16894 | What is one to do with such a madman? |
16894 | What letters do you mean, Frank? |
16894 | What on earth can you see in him to admire? |
16894 | What on earth''s the matter? |
16894 | What was there in common between you and Charlie Parker? |
16894 | What was your connection with Taylor? |
16894 | What were the students like in Dublin? |
16894 | What''s impossible? |
16894 | What''s it all about? |
16894 | What''s the matter, Oscar? |
16894 | When did you first meet Ernest Scarfe? |
16894 | When did you first meet Fred Atkins? |
16894 | When did you first meet Mavor? |
16894 | When you heard that Taylor was arrested what did you do? |
16894 | Where are you going? |
16894 | Where did you first meet Parker? |
16894 | Who introduced him to you? |
16894 | Who is Bosie? |
16894 | Why did you mention his ugliness? |
16894 | Why did you not answer Miss Travers when she wrote telling you of your husband''s attempt on her virtue? |
16894 | Why let your imagination run away with you? |
16894 | Why not? |
16894 | Why not? |
16894 | Why not? |
16894 | Yes, Frank, where to? |
16894 | Yet you returned again? |
16894 | You asked him for money? |
16894 | You really would not like the Café Royal? |
16894 | You say that the defendant is''not guilty,''and that is the verdict of you all? |
16894 | You should have gone,I cried in French, hot with indignation;"why did n''t you go, the moment you came out of the court?" |
16894 | You went again and again, did you not? |
16894 | Your brother? |
16894 | *****"Do n''t you want to make them all speak of you and wonder at you again? |
16894 | Again the judge interposed with the probing question:"Did you say anything about chloroform in your pamphlet?" |
16894 | Alfred Douglas? |
16894 | Almost immediately scandalous stories came into circulation concerning them:"Have you heard the latest about Lord Alfred and Oscar? |
16894 | And I went on arguing, if Gattie were right, why_ two_ boys? |
16894 | And 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?" |
16894 | And then the last verse would be quoted:--"Divine, do n''t ye think?" |
16894 | As we turned into Oakley Street, Oscar said to me:"You are not angry with me, Frank?" |
16894 | At the very door Mrs. Jeune came up to me:"Have you ever met Mr. Oscar Wilde? |
16894 | Being a little short- sighted, I asked:"Is n''t that Mr. Oscar Wilde?" |
16894 | But 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?" |
16894 | But after all how could he help it? |
16894 | But at the time all such matters were lost for me in the questions: would the authorities arrest Oscar? |
16894 | But was there a seduction? |
16894 | But why not boys of his own class? |
16894 | But why on earth did Alfred Douglas, knowing the truth, ever wish you to attack Queensberry?" |
16894 | Could anything be done? |
16894 | Could more be desired than perfection perfected? |
16894 | Did Jesus suffer in vain? |
16894 | Did he postpone the sentence in order not to frighten the next jury by the severity of it? |
16894 | Did you ever adore any man?" |
16894 | Do you happen to know where Erith is?" |
16894 | Do you remember Wordsworth speaks''of the wind in the trees''? |
16894 | Do you still hold to that assertion?" |
16894 | Does not the prospect tempt you?" |
16894 | English judges always resent and resist such popular outbursts: why not in this case? |
16894 | Examining Oscar as to his letters to Lord Alfred Douglas, Sir Frank Lockwood wanted to know whether he thought them"decent"? |
16894 | Foreman:"Or ever contemplated?" |
16894 | Frank, would you? |
16894 | Gill:"And Lord Queensberry may be discharged?" |
16894 | Had he acted out of aristocratic insolence, or was he by any possibility high- minded? |
16894 | Had not Wilde also rendered distinguished services to his country? |
16894 | Had the police asked for a warrant? |
16894 | He must be mad, Frank, do n''t you think? |
16894 | He questioned me:"What is the alternative, Frank, the wisest thing to do in your opinion? |
16894 | He surprised me by saying:"A year, Frank, they may give me a year? |
16894 | Here you have the opportunity of making your name known just as widely; why not avail yourself of it? |
16894 | His efforts to collect his ideas were not aided by Mr. Carson''s sharp staccato repetition:"Why? |
16894 | His reputation was always rather--''_high_,''shall we call it?" |
16894 | How can I get evidence or think in this place of torture? |
16894 | How could I verify this impression, I asked myself, so as to warn him effectually? |
16894 | How did he know Dogberry and Pistol, Bardolph and Doll Tearsheet? |
16894 | I asked him could I charter it? |
16894 | I asked, smiling,"or in an article? |
16894 | I asked,"any professor with a touch of the poet?" |
16894 | I gasped; what had happened? |
16894 | I have also got a new sitting- room.... Why are you not here, my dear, my wonderful boy? |
16894 | I questioned,"at whose feet you sat?" |
16894 | I wonder can I do it in a week, or will it take three? |
16894 | If you were in France, everyone would be asking: will he come back or disappear altogether? |
16894 | In one hour she would be free of the Thames and on the high seas--(delightful phrase, eh?) |
16894 | Is it not dreadful the way they insult the fallen?" |
16894 | Is this true, or do you not know of it? |
16894 | Mr. Carson:"Of course the costs of the defence will follow?" |
16894 | Mr. Justice Wills:"Were you agreed as to the charge on the other counts?" |
16894 | My contempt for Courts of law deepened: those twelve jurymen were anything but the peers of the accused: how could they judge him? |
16894 | On all sides one was asked:"Have you seen Oscar''s latest?" |
16894 | Oscar then rose and asked,"Where shall I be taken?" |
16894 | Robert Ross urged him to accept Mathew''s offer; but he would not: why? |
16894 | Seeing that I did not respond he challenged me:"What do you think of it?" |
16894 | Shall I come to Salisbury? |
16894 | Still she could not give him much; the difficulty was only postponed; what was to be done? |
16894 | Subtle, was n''t it?" |
16894 | Suddenly the younger of the boys asked:"Did you sy they was niked?" |
16894 | That is our duty to our neighbour, Frank; but sometimes we mislay it, do n''t we?" |
16894 | The issue had narrowed down to terrible straits: would it be utter ruin to Oscar or merely loss of the case and reputation? |
16894 | The judge here interposed with the crucial question:"Did you know that you had been violated?" |
16894 | The jury having consulted for a few moments, the Clerk of Arraigns asked:"Do you find the plea of justification has been proved or not?" |
16894 | The man turned round, recognised Him and said,''I was blind; Thou didst heal me; what else should I do with my sight?''" |
16894 | The uncle wonders why Lord Dartmoor wants to marry an American and grumbles about her people:"Has she got any?" |
16894 | They allow you books, do n''t they?" |
16894 | To my astonishment he faced me and said:"And my sureties?" |
16894 | To my surprise he was cold and said, a little bitterly, I thought:"''You seem glad to go?'' |
16894 | Was it worth while to stir up all the foul mud again, in order to beat the beaten? |
16894 | What am I to do?" |
16894 | What can I do?" |
16894 | What could I say?" |
16894 | What did he mean by saying that Oscar was a"centre of extensive corruption of the most hideous kind"? |
16894 | What do I care? |
16894 | What was to be done next? |
16894 | What was to be done? |
16894 | What will this professor of Æsthetics make of it? |
16894 | What would people think if they saw you?'' |
16894 | What 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_? |
16894 | Where Whistler had missed the laurel how could he or indeed anyone be sure of winning? |
16894 | Where did he get this new knowledge? |
16894 | Who had given him the new and precise information? |
16894 | Who was inspiring him? |
16894 | Why are you alone in London, and when do you go to Salisbury? |
16894 | Why did he not tell him his case could not possibly be won? |
16894 | Why give up like that? |
16894 | Why had he taken the risk? |
16894 | Why had not Mr. Carson put some of the young men he spoke of in the box? |
16894 | Why is Pears''soap successful? |
16894 | Why not? |
16894 | Why on earth did Sir Edward Clarke not advise Oscar in this way weeks before? |
16894 | Why should I belabour the beaten? |
16894 | Why should I cringe to this madman?" |
16894 | Why should any taste be ostracised? |
16894 | Why? |
16894 | Wilde rose and cried,"Can I say anything, my lord?" |
16894 | Will civilisation never reach humane ideals? |
16894 | Will men always punish most severely the sins they do not understand and which hold for them no temptation? |
16894 | Willie''s friend seemed amused at the lyrical outburst of the green spinster, for smiling a little she questioned him:"''Speranza''is Lady Wilde?" |
16894 | Would Sir Edward Clarke fight the case as it should be fought? |
16894 | Would he be able to do that? |
16894 | Would he bridle his desires, live savingly, and write assiduously till such repute came as would enable him to launch out and indulge his tastes? |
16894 | Would he put Taylor in the box? |
16894 | Would the huntsman give the word? |
16894 | Would vanity do anything? |
16894 | Would you in your position as editor of_ The Fortnightly_ come and give evidence for me, testify for instance that''Dorian Gray''is not immoral?" |
16894 | You''ve never seen the mouth of the Thames at night, have you? |
16894 | and declare his own mission?" |
16894 | half the possible sentence: the middle course, that English Judges always take: the sort of compromise they think safe?" |
16894 | or will he manifest himself henceforth in some new comedies, more joyous and pagan than ever?" |
16894 | or would they allow him to escape? |
16894 | why did you add that?") |
16894 | why? |
