9784 | Ask yourself seriously within your own heart-- what right have you to live wisely in God''s world, and they not to live a little less wisely? |
9784 | Belief, he reiterates, is the cure for all the worst of human ills; but belief in what or in whom? |
9784 | But whence, O Heaven, whither? |
9784 | Canst_ thou_ by searching find out God? |
9784 | Carlyle calls evidence from all quarters, appealing to Napoleon''s question,"Who made all that?" |
9784 | Come there not tones of Love and Faith as from celestial harp- strings, like the Song of beatified Souls? |
9784 | Dare I not?" |
9784 | Death? |
9784 | For what are its inhabitants? |
9784 | Have you never done good? |
9784 | Have you never loved? |
9784 | He insisted on the community of the race, and struck with a bolt any one who said,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
9784 | His life is as a tale that has been told: yet under time does there not lie eternity? |
9784 | How find it? |
9784 | How have I deserved this? |
9784 | How is it that of all these countless multitudes no one can... produce ought that shall endure longer than"snowflake on the river? |
9784 | How thick stands your population in the Pampas and Savannahs-- in the Curragh of Kildare? |
9784 | I could only point out to you the fulfilment of duties which can make life-- not happy-- what can? |
9784 | I wonder how many thousand miles Mr. C. has walked between here and there?" |
9784 | If it be not His will, then is it not better so?" |
9784 | Is He One or Three? |
9784 | Is there a man more to be condoled with, nay, I will say to be cherished and tenderly treated, than a man that has no brain? |
9784 | Is there not arsenic? |
9784 | Is there not ratsbane of various kinds? |
9784 | Might it not be asserted with some plausibility that even those which he denominates moral causes originate from physical circumstances?" |
9784 | Not so, now nor at any time.... Virgil and Tacitus, were they ready writers? |
9784 | Of what use towards the general result of finding out what it is wise to do, can the fools be? |
9784 | Our friends of China, who refused to trade, had we not to argue with, them, in cannon- shot at last?" |
9784 | Shall it be Switzerland? |
9784 | The answer he gives is that of Schiller:"Welche der Religionen? |
9784 | The question is, Does a man really love Truth, or only the market price of it? |
9784 | The strong man, what is he? |
9784 | Then where is the place for a Creator? |
9784 | Then why do n''t you kill yourself, sir? |
9784 | These limbs, whence had we them; this stormy Force; this life- blood with its burning passion? |
9784 | Treason never prospers, what''s the reason? |
9784 | Warum? |
9784 | Was ever woman in this humour woo''d, Was ever woman in this humour won? |
9784 | Were it permitted, I would pray, but to whom? |
9784 | What can we say, but that the cause which pleased the gods had in the end to please Cato also? |
9784 | What in these days are terrors of conscience to diseases of the liver? |
9784 | What is all work but a drudgery? |
9784 | What is this but Byron''s cry,"I am not happy,"which his afterwards stern critic compares to the screaming of a meat- jack? |
9784 | What is to be done with my_ empty Head_? |
9784 | What portion of this globe have ye tilled and delved till it will grow no more? |
9784 | What then is left for Carlyle''s Creed? |
9784 | What were the doctrines which in his view Calvinism shadowed forth and which were so infinitely true, so ennobling to human life? |
9784 | Who will celebrate their yet undefined successors, who will train Germany gracefully to bear the burden of prosperity? |
9784 | Who would be great at such a price? |
9784 | Who would buy so much misery with so much labour? |
9784 | Why, ask patriotic Scotsmen, did he not take up his and their favourite Knox? |
9784 | Will swift railways and sacrifices to Hudson help me towards that? |
9784 | Will you teach me the winged flight through immensity, up to the throne dark with excess of bright? |
9784 | Yes, if you are God you may have a right to say so; if you are a man what do you know more than I, or any of us? |
9784 | fit him, like Ruskin''s verdict,"What can you say of Carlyle but that he was born in the clouds and struck by the lightning?" |
9784 | nay, shall it be America and Concord? |
9784 | shall it be Scotland? |

20263 | Um,said he,"e nel Papa? |
20263 | What a thought? 20263 Who upon earth has written such perfect comedies( as Molière)? |
20263 | ''Sir,''said he, with the deepest concern,''may I beg the life of my uncle? |
20263 | And why?" |
20263 | And yet why trust a greasy cook? |
20263 | Are not you very proud of your Ode to Midnight? |
20263 | But is not that the case in every miscellaneous collection, even in that excellent one published by Mr. Dodsley? |
20263 | But to proceed; can a man make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land from the Island of Great Britain, without the aid of navigation? |
20263 | But who is this the fire of whose look flames infinitely beyond the rest? |
20263 | Can a man of acknowledged ignorance and stupidity, write a tragedy superior to Hamlet? |
20263 | Can a man walk in the Mall at noon, carrying his breeches upon an enormous long pole, without being laughed at? |
20263 | Can any thing be more condescending, and at the same time shew more the firmness of an heroick mind, than this letter? |
20263 | Could you come? |
20263 | Could your Lordship find time to honour me now and then with a letter? |
20263 | Dear BOSWELL,--How shall I begin? |
20263 | Dear ERSKINE,--Can a man walk up the Cowgate after a heavy rain without dirtying his shoes? |
20263 | Dear ERSKINE,--What sort of a letter shall I now write to you? |
20263 | Derrick''s versifications are infamously bad; what think you of the Reviewers commending such an execrable performance? |
20263 | Did you ever suspect me of believing your marriage? |
20263 | Did you really believe it? |
20263 | For what should make men attack one who never offended them, who has done his best to entertain them, and who is engaged in the most generous cause? |
20263 | He therefore advanced, and addressed himself to me,''Sir, is it proper for me to speak?'' |
20263 | How goes it with the elegant gentle Lady A----? |
20263 | How is my honest Captain Andrew? |
20263 | I could now tell why I should not write; for who would write to men who publish the letters of their friends without their leave? |
20263 | I liked to see their natural frankness and ease;[97] for why should men be afraid of their own species? |
20263 | I ventured to object:"But why has not Providence interposed sooner?" |
20263 | If these things continue, who is safe? |
20263 | In the name of every thing that is upside down, what could the people mean by marrying me? |
20263 | Is Dodsley to sell you for a shilling, or not? |
20263 | Now, my dear Captain, tell me how is it with you, after reading this? |
20263 | Or give to meat the time of play? |
20263 | Plures tamen hîc peregrini quam cives consistunt? |
20263 | Pray shall we not see you here this winter at all? |
20263 | Pray what is become of the Cub? |
20263 | Say, who could e''er indulge a yawn or nap, When Barclay roars forth snip, and Bainbridge snap? |

20263 | Tell me how our second volume is received; I was much pleased with N----''s lines; how did he get them inserted? |
20263 | Tell me how you was affected; could you speak any? |
20263 | Tell me, dear Erskine, should not I My favourite path of fortune try? |
20263 | The exordium is a passionate address to Captains all; amongst whom, who can more properly be reckoned than Captain Andrew? |
20263 | Upon my arrival, the captain of the guard came out, and demanded who I was? |
20263 | Well, and what then? |
20263 | What can her keeping of Turkeys be owing to? |
20263 | What sort of a son had Cicero, and what had Marcus Aurelius?" |
20263 | What would I not do to gain your pardon? |
20263 | When I said he ought to marry and have a son to succeed him,"Sir,"said he,"what security can I have that my son will think and act as I do? |
20263 | While ev''ry trout gulps down a hook, And poor dumb beasts harsh butchers slay? |
20263 | Why do n''t you send me a copy? |
20263 | Why, then, should I suppress it? |
20263 | Why,''out of the abundance of the heart,''should I not speak?" |
20263 | With what feeling are you most strongly possessed? |

20263 | and how, O how does that glorious luminary Lady B---- do? |
20263 | and in the Pope?" |
20263 | and is the laugh of gaiety no more? |
20263 | and would not the sight of me have made you very miserable? |
20263 | could you fix your thoughts upon anything but the dreary way you was in? |
20263 | has he a landed estate? |
20263 | has the smile of cheerfulness left your countenance? |
20263 | has your flow of spirits evaporated, and left nothing but the black dregs of melancholy behind? |
20263 | or a genteel comedy superior to the Careless Husband? |
20263 | or with long stories translated from Olaus Wormius? |

20263 | what in climate more intemperate? |
20263 | what in the very situation of the place more horrible? |
20263 | what is the length of his walking- stick? |
20263 | what more barren of provisions? |
20263 | what more rude as to its inhabitants? |
20263 | what species of apology shall I make? |
20263 | what transport can you feel, In turning round on either heel? |
20263 | why am I not chained to Donaldson''s shop? |
20263 | why am I not in Edinburgh? |
20263 | with anecdotes of Queen Anne''s wars? |
20263 | with excerpts from Robertson''s history? |
52246 | How do you do, Mr. Lowe? 52246 How so, Sir?" |
52246 | ''About one he came into my room and accosted me,"What, drunk yet?"'' |
52246 | ''Are you?'' |
52246 | ''He then addressed himself to Davies:"What do you think of Garrick? |
52246 | ''I was persuaded that if I had come upon him with a direct proposal,"Sir, will you dine in company with Jack Wilkes?" |
52246 | ''If, Sir,''he once demanded irrelevantly,''you were shut up in a castle and a new- born child with you, what would you do?'' |
52246 | ''Jamie is gaen clean gyte.... Whose tail do you think he has pinned himself to now, mon?'' |
52246 | ''Now, Temple,''he writes,''can I help indulging my vanity? |
52246 | ''Shall I ask him?'' |
52246 | ''Why,''he says,''"out of the abundance of the heart"should I not speak?'' |
52246 | ''Zelide may have had her faults but is she always to have them? |
52246 | And if so how much? |
52246 | And shall not every liberal soul be warm for them?'' |
52246 | And what is it that he succeeded in expressing? |
52246 | And what more or what less could anyone want? |
52246 | Are any of you gentlemen at the Bar able to explain this?'' |
52246 | Ask gravely, Pray do n''t you imagine there is something of madness in that family?'' |
52246 | At the end of all the struggle and the horror, the strange joys and the fantastic dreams, what has happened? |
52246 | But he is offended with that fire which you and I cherish as the essence of our soul; and how can I make him happy? |
52246 | But how was this to be done? |
52246 | But if he does earnest? |
52246 | But what was the final result? |
52246 | Can they be recognised as the same equipment with which he set forth, or has the consuming fire burnt out, and the bright flame grown pale and dim? |
52246 | Could your Lordship find time to honour me now and then with a letter? |
52246 | Do men respect him? |
52246 | Do n''t you consider, Sir, that these are not the manners of a gentleman? |
52246 | Do they love him? |
52246 | Do you think I am so ignorant of the world as to imagine that I am to prescribe to a gentleman what company he is to have at his table?'' |
52246 | Had he, in the first place, any real care for the cause of Corsican liberty? |
52246 | Has he been successful? |
52246 | His Lordship very gravely and with a courteous air said,''Pray, sir, is it true that you are taking lessons of Vestris?'' |
52246 | How much are we to assume from this? |
52246 | How much of Boswell''s respectability came directly from Johnson? |
52246 | I ask him a plain establishing oratory and question, What do you altering the mode of British mean to teach? |
52246 | I hope you are well, Mr. Lowe? |
52246 | I told him my intentions, but he was not satisfied, and said,"Do you know I should as soon have thought of picking a pocket as doing so?"'' |
52246 | I will not be baited with_ what_ and_ why_; what is this? |
52246 | If they were to be written down in full once only, then why not in the proper Johnsonian stores? |
52246 | Is the essential man the same? |
52246 | Johnson is said to have related that one question was,''Pray, Sir, can you tell why an apple is round and a pear pointed? |
52246 | May not time have altered her for the better as it has altered me? |
52246 | Or have his ambitions and desires and the vital force of the man been modified? |
52246 | Or what more than to hold your tongue about it? |
52246 | Or why should this peculiar collection of''Boswelliana''take precedence? |
52246 | Or would he fight with a different object? |
52246 | Secondly, what were the substances present in abnormal quantity which caused the peculiarity? |
52246 | Sir, it is do?'' |
52246 | Temple, would you not like such a son? |
52246 | The Chancellor, as you observe, has not done as I expected; but why did I expect it?'' |
52246 | The Doctor, calling after him authoritatively, said:''What are you thinking of, Sir? |
52246 | The judge said,''I never heard of such a writ-- what can it be that adheres pavimento? |
52246 | The serjeant asked,''Who is this fellow?'' |
52246 | Two questions therefore are to be asked especially with regard to a genius: First, in what way was the conflagration peculiar? |
52246 | Was he deliberately unkind, or negligent, or disagreeable? |
52246 | Was his the hand at the helm?--the breath in the sails? |
52246 | Was the cause worth struggling for, after all is done? |
52246 | Was this the fault of the son? |
52246 | Well, and what then? |
52246 | What care_ I_ for his_ patriotic friends_? |
52246 | What do you take me for? |
52246 | What have you to do with Liberty and Necessity? |
52246 | What is his position in the world? |
52246 | What then is the range of Boswell''s conventionality and what are its limits? |
52246 | What then was Boswell''s reputation among his contemporaries? |
52246 | What think you, Temple, was her answer? |
52246 | What view does the fighter take himself? |
52246 | What would you have me do?'' |
52246 | When Dr. Johnson came in she called to him,''Do you choose any cold sheep''s head, Sir?'' |
52246 | Why do you get up before the cloth is removed? |
52246 | Why then should I suppress it? |
52246 | Why''out of the abundance of the heart''should I not speak? |
52246 | Will that word do? |
52246 | Would he fight on the same side if he could start again? |
52246 | Would he refrain from fighting? |
52246 | Would you not feel a glow of parental joy? |
52246 | [ 3] But how was it that he came so to express himself? |
52246 | _ Boswell_:''If you should happen to love another, will you tell me immediately and help me to make myself easy?'' |
52246 | _ Johnson_:''And if Jack Wilkes should be there, what is that to me, Sir? |
52246 | _ Johnson_:''Well, Sir, what then? |
52246 | _ Johnson_:''What do you mean, Sir? |
52246 | is this realising any of the towering hopes which have so often been the subject of our conversations and letters?'' |
52246 | what is that? |
52246 | why is a cow''s tail long? |
52246 | why is a fox''s tail bushy?'' |
13660 | Dost know me, friend? 13660 Has not Mr. Carey paid you?" |
13660 | Old Fogeyand"Amiable Kuss"? |
13660 | Then has he not paid Carlyle directly? |

13660 | All people are in a sort of joy- dom over the new French Republic, which has descended suddenly( or shall we say,_ ascended_ alas?) |
13660 | And if so, I should say, Why not come at once, even as the Editor surmises? |
13660 | And who knows but I may come one day? |
13660 | And you ought to come and look at it, beyond doubt; and say to this land,"Old Mother, how are you getting on at all?" |
13660 | Are English of this day incapable of a great sentiment? |
13660 | Are you a physician, and will you come? |
13660 | Are you bound by your Arabian bounty to a largess whenever you think of your friend? |
13660 | But I hope you are to be at home tomorrow, for if I prosper, I shall come and beg a dinner with you,--is it not at five o''clock? |
13660 | But he is a good man, and, do you know it? |
13660 | But since you are all bounty and care for me, where are the new volumes of the Library Edition of Carlyle? |
13660 | But there is no more time in this late night-- and what need? |
13660 | But what can I? |
13660 | But what can be said? |
13660 | But what do I read in our Boston Newspapers twice in the last three days? |
13660 | But what had I, dear wise man, to tell you? |
13660 | By some refraction which new lenses or else steamships shall operate, shall I not yet one day see again the disk of benign Phosphorus? |
13660 | By the bye, do you know a"Massachusetts Historical Society,"and a James Bowdoin, seemingly of Boston? |
13660 | Can I ever forget, or think otherwise than lovingly of the man Emerson? |
13660 | Can you remember and tell me? |
13660 | Carlyle to Emerson Chelsea, 8 July, 1851 Dear Emerson,--Don''t you still remember very well that there is such a man? |
13660 | Clark( is not that the name?) |
13660 | Did you find kings and priests? |
13660 | Did you mean to show us that you could not be old, but immortally young? |
13660 | Do not I very well understand all that you say about"apathized moods,"& c.? |
13660 | Do you bethink you of Craigenputtock, and the still evening there? |
13660 | Do you know Beriah Green? |
13660 | Do you know Browning at all? |
13660 | Emerson to Carlyle* Concord, May[? |
13660 | Enough, enough; there will be all Eternity to rest in, as Arnauld said:"Why in such a fuss, little sir?" |
13660 | Ever yours, T. Carlyle We returned from Hampshire exactly a week ago; never passed six so totally idle weeks in our lives.--Better in health a little? |
13660 | For example, you must tell Mr. Thoreau( is that the exact name? |
13660 | For the years that remain, I suppose we must continue to grumble out some occasional utterance of that kind: what can we do, at this late stage? |
13660 | From Mr. Everett I learn that your Boston Lectures have been attended with renown enough: when are the Lectures themselves to get to print? |
13660 | Had I kept silence so very long? |
13660 | Hammond l''Estrange says,"Who ever heard of a stammering man that was a fool?" |
13660 | Has your head grown grayish? |

13660 | He is abstruse, but worth knowing.--And what of the_ Discourse on England_ by a certain man? |
13660 | He was even a little stern on his nearest relatives when they came to him: Do I need your help to die? |
13660 | How can you explain men to Apes by the Dead Sea? |
13660 | How shall Queen Victoria read this? |
13660 | I fear you wo n''t see Brigham Young, however? |

13660 | I shall think there, a fortnight might bring you from London to Walden Pond.--Life wears on, and do you say the gray hairs appear? |
13660 | In fact I felt punished;--and who knows, if the case were seen into, whether I deserve it? |
13660 | In short, I am willing, I am willing; and so let us not waste another drop of ink on it at present!--On the whole, are not you a strange fellow? |

13660 | Meanwhile, patience; for us there is nothing else appointed.--Tell me, however, what has become of your Book on England? |
13660 | Never dream of such a thing nay, whom_ did_ you send? |
13660 | Now please to read these things to the wise and kind ears of Jane Carlyle, and ask her if I have done wrong in giving my friend a letter to her? |

13660 | What, you scorn all this? |
13660 | When shall I show him to you? |
13660 | Where all writing is such a caricature of the subject, what signifies whether the form is a little more or less ornate and luxurious? |
13660 | Who can say what he yet is and will be to me? |
13660 | Who is he that can trust himself in the fray? |
13660 | Who knows but I may have adventures-- I who had never one, as I have just had occasion to write to Mrs. Howitt, who inquired what mine were? |
13660 | Why should I plague poor Clark with them, if it be any plague to him? |
13660 | Why should I regret that I see you not, when you are forced thus intimately to discover yourself beyond the intimacy of conversation? |
13660 | Will this do? |
13660 | Will you come in Winter then, next Winter,--or when? |
13660 | Will your next Letter tell us the_ when?_ O my Friend! |
13660 | You are sending me a book, and Chapman''s Homer it is? |
13660 | You promise us a new Book soon? |
13660 | You remember Charles Buller, to whom I brought you over that night at the Barings''in Stanhope Street? |
13660 | You say not a word of your own affairs: I have vaguely been taught to look for some Book shortly;--what of it? |
13660 | _ Ach Gott!_ Is not Anarchy, and parliamentary eloquence instead of work, continued for half a century everywhere, a beautiful piece of business? |
13660 | _ Altum Silentium,_ what else can I reply to it at present? |
13660 | and having kept us all murmuring at your satires and sharp homilies, will now melt us with this manly and heart- warming embrace? |
13660 | and how the poor? |
13660 | how the Colleges? |
13660 | how the Lords? |
13660 | how the Primate and Bishops of England? |
13660 | how the rich? |
13660 | of Demosthenes? |
13660 | of Plato? |

31557 | Do you know what the name of that spirit was? 31557 Do you like bathing?" |
31557 | Do you like school? |
31557 | Do you mean to refuse me what I ask? |
31557 | Do you not know they are murdering your king? |
31557 | Had you hidden a tapu? |

31557 | How many pathom he high? |
31557 | How much you got? 31557 How much you want?" |
31557 | How on earth do you know that? |
31557 | How shall I repay your great kindness to me? 31557 How?" |
31557 | If a white chief came up here and smelt this, how would you feel? |
31557 | In short, I am to look for no support, whether physical or moral? |
31557 | Is that royal? |
31557 | Is that true, George? |
31557 | Is the island on the spree? |
31557 | Like Mahinui? |
31557 | My patha he tell me he see: you think he lie? |
31557 | My patha he tell me,or"White man he tell me,"would be his constant beginning;"You think he lie?" |
31557 | Now what is your motive in this? |
31557 | Under what form? |
31557 | What are you doing here? |
31557 | What chief? |
31557 | What did she say to you? |
31557 | What do you want with a gun, Arick? |
31557 | What have you in the canoe that I should smell carrion? |
31557 | What is it? |

31557 | Why do they call themselves Mormons? |
31557 | Why do you not go to help him? |
31557 | Why do you not take these? |
31557 | Why, what is the meaning of all this? |
31557 | Will you be at school to- morrow? |
31557 | Will you take a cigar? |
31557 | With two husbands? |
31557 | You are old,they argued;"soon you will die; what use will it be to you?" |
31557 | You got copra, king? |
31557 | You like some beer? |

31557 | After all, what was there to complain of? |
31557 | And how about the current? |
31557 | And how was the point brought again before his Honour? |
31557 | And now it might beat upon these ruins, and who should assemble? |
31557 | And shall I not be a little loyal to Mataafa? |
31557 | And suppose the king should fall, what would be the fate of the king''s friends? |
31557 | And the end of it? |
31557 | And this is my mamma? |
31557 | And was he not wise, since that was his complaint, to go to folks who could do more? |
31557 | And where? |
31557 | And why should they be at the bother of two walks? |
31557 | And will you not help me? |
31557 | And you know how much afraid the natives are of the evil spirits in the wood, and how they think all sickness comes from them? |

31557 | But to whom can we address ourselves? |
31557 | But what had he to do with it? |
31557 | But what were the Consuls doing in this matter of inland administration? |
31557 | But which? |
31557 | But why are these so different? |
31557 | But why are they dead? |
31557 | But why were they previously left in the dark? |
31557 | But why( it will be asked) spin out by these excessive methods a thread of such tenuity? |
31557 | By what criterion is the convert to distinguish the essential from the unessential? |
31557 | By what powers of law was this result attained? |

31557 | Did they like it? |
31557 | Do these unfortunates like the king? |
31557 | Do you not hear something supernatural?" |

31557 | Him they approached with honeyed words and carneying manners--"You are So- and- so, son of So- and- so?" |

31557 | I wrote of Parker that he behaved like a boy of ten: what was he else, being a slave of sixty? |
31557 | If he was with Malietoa''s men, which is the real gist of his offence, we who are not Germans may surely ask, Why not? |
31557 | Is a father- in- law one of a man''s own family? |
31557 | Is it a law at all? |
31557 | Is this English law? |
31557 | It is great fun( I have tried it) for the child, and I never heard of it doing any harm to the fishes, so what could be more jolly? |

31557 | Kekela he say;''why you want?'' |
31557 | Meanwhile, the calf stood looking on, a little perplexed, and seemed to be saying:"Well, now, is this life? |
31557 | Meanwhile, there was the cow, with the board over her eyes, left tied by a pretty long rope to a small tree in the paddock, and who was to milk her? |
31557 | Now, do you remember Misifolo-- a tall, thin Hovea boy that came shortly before you left? |
31557 | On what ground is Malietoa a rebel? |
31557 | Or is not rather the repulsion mutual? |
31557 | Should I not approach her on the still depending question of my rent? |
31557 | So much was accomplished: what was to follow? |
31557 | Something wrong? |
31557 | Taipi might; he ought; it was a chief part of his duty; but would any one regard the inhibition of a Beggar on Horseback? |
31557 | The Captain was got safe off the wicked horse, but how was he to get back again to Apia and the_ Alameda_? |
31557 | They now face empty- handed the tedium of their uneventful days; and who shall pity them? |
31557 | Uncle Lloyd and Palema made a malanga[21] to go over the island to Siumu, and Talolo was anxious to go also; but how could we get along without him? |
31557 | Was it Luheluhe?" |
31557 | Was it not the same with unchastity, it may be asked? |
31557 | Was not the Polynesian always unchaste? |

31557 | When had it stopped? |
31557 | Who can blame them for their timidity? |
31557 | Who is Dr. Knappe, thus to make peace and war, deal in life and death, and close with a buffet the mouth of English Consuls? |
31557 | Who is responsible now for the care and good treatment of these political prisoners? |
31557 | Who is responsible? |
31557 | Who is the unknown power that sent Mataafa in a German ship to the Marshalls, instead of in an English ship to Fiji? |
31557 | Who told them so? |
31557 | Who was responsible for this? |
31557 | Who was to be punished?--the whaler guilty of the act, the missionary whose denunciation had provoked the scandal? |
31557 | Why ca n''t he talk?" |
31557 | Why go to such lengths for four months longer of fallacious solvency? |
31557 | Why should I wonder? |
31557 | Why should he? |
31557 | Why this change? |
31557 | You ask if we have seen Arick? |
31557 | You remember Tauilo, and what a fine, tall, strong, Madame Lafarge sort of person she is? |
31557 | You would not like to be very sick in some savage place in the islands, and have only the savages to doctor you? |
31557 | and had not every country its own customs? |
31557 | and that keeps separated Faamoina and his wife? |
31557 | and what kind of torrent was that which had swept us eastward in the interval? |
31557 | and what the Kanitus?" |
31557 | and what was their sentiment towards the ruler? |

13583 | All the world cries out, Why_ do you_ publish with Fraser? |
13583 | Always excepting my wonderful Professor, who among the living has thrown any memorable truths into circulation? |
13583 | And can not you renew and confirm your suggestion touching your appearance in this continent? |
13583 | And must not we say that Drunkenness is a virtue rather than that Cato has erred? |
13583 | And now the Heterodox, the Heterodox, where is that? |
13583 | And now why do not_ you_ write to me? |
13583 | And now will you not tell me what you read and write? |
13583 | And see Miss Martineau in the last_ Westminster Review:_--these things you are old enough to stand? |
13583 | And then, How? |
13583 | And what more can a man ask of his writing fellow- man? |
13583 | And yet did ever wise and philanthropic author use so defying a diction? |
13583 | And yet, as you will say, why not even of dollars? |
13583 | Are all these things interesting to you? |
13583 | As you know my whereabout, will you throw a little light on your own? |
13583 | But after all, will it suit America to print an_ unequal_ number of your two pairs of volumes? |
13583 | But has literature any parallel to the oddity of the vehicle chosen to convey this treasure? |
13583 | But now first as to this question, What I mean? |
13583 | But on the whole are we not the_ formalest_ people ever created under this Sun? |
13583 | But the way to find that word? |
13583 | But then where? |
13583 | But what avail any commendations of the form, until I know that the man is alive and well? |
13583 | But what makes the priest? |

13583 | Could you send me two copies of the American_ Life of Schiller,_ if the thing is fit for making a present of, and easy to be got? |
13583 | Could you send us out a part of your edition at American prices, and at the same time to your advantage? |
13583 | Couldst not wait a little? |
13583 | Did I tell you that we hope shortly to send you some American verses and prose of good intent? |
13583 | Did he ever write to you? |
13583 | Did the Upholsterer make this Universe? |
13583 | Did you ever see such a vacant turnip- lantern as that Walsingham Goethe? |
13583 | Did you not tell me, Mr. Thomas Carlyle, sitting upon one of your broad hills, that it was Jesus Christ built Dunscore Kirk yonder? |
13583 | Do not the two together make one work? |
13583 | Do you know English Puseyism? |
13583 | Do you know what I think of doing with it? |
13583 | Do you not believe that the fields and woods have their proper virtue, and that there are good and great things which will not be spoken in the city? |
13583 | Do you read German or not? |
13583 | Do you read Landor, or know him, O seeing man? |
13583 | Do you remember Fraser''s Magazine for October, 1832, and a Translation there, with Notes, of a thing called Goethe''s Mahrchen? |
13583 | Emerson What manner of person is Heraud? |
13583 | Far, far better seems to me the unpopularity of this Philosophical Poem( shall I call it?) |

13583 | Have you received a letter from me with a pamphlet sent in December? |
13583 | How can I speak of them on a miserable scrap of blue paper? |
13583 | How do I know what is good for_ you,_ what authentically makes your own heart glad to work in it? |
13583 | How is it that you do not write to me? |
13583 | How should he be so poor? |
13583 | I am getting on with some studies of mine prosperously for me, have got three essays nearly done, and who knows but in the autumn I shall have a book? |
13583 | I am weary of hearing it said,"We love the Americans,""We wish well,"& c.,& c. What in God''s name should we do else? |
13583 | I ask constantly of all men whether life may not be poetic as well as stupid? |
13583 | I declare, I am ashamed of my intolerance:--and yet you have ceased to be a Teacher of theirs, have you not? |
13583 | I have seen some other Lions, and Lion''s-_providers;_ but consider them a worthless species.--When will you write, then? |
13583 | I know not what he will make of it;-- perhaps wry faces at it? |
13583 | I rejoice rather in my laziness; proving that I_ can_ sit.--But, after all, ought I not to be thankful? |
13583 | I sometimes ask myself rather earnestly, What is the duty of a citizen? |
13583 | I will not love them.--And yet, what am I saying? |
13583 | If it be not His will,--then is it not better so? |
13583 | If you in America wanted more also--? |
13583 | In any case what signifies it much? |
13583 | In this number what say you to the_ Elegy_ written by a youth who grew up in this town and lives near me,--Henry Thoreau? |
13583 | Is he now a preacher? |
13583 | Is it Cromwell still? |
13583 | Is lecturing and noise the way to get at that? |
13583 | Is not all that very morbid,--unworthy the children of Odin, not to speak of Luther, Knox, and the other Brave? |
13583 | Is there, at bottom, in the world or out of it, anything one would like so well, with one''s whole heart_ well,_ as PEACE? |
13583 | It seems then this Mahomet was not a quack? |
13583 | John Sterling scolds and kisses it( as the manner of the man is), and concludes by inquiring, whether there is any procurable Likeness of Emerson? |
13583 | Little and James Brown, 112 Washington St.), or is not this the right way? |
13583 | May I not call it temporary? |
13583 | Meanwhile, however, is it not pitiable? |
13583 | Milnes did get your Letter: I told you? |
13583 | More than one inquires of me, Has that Emerson of yours written nothing else? |
13583 | My copy of the_ Oration_ has never come: how is this? |
13583 | Norton* surely is a chimera; but what has the whole business they are jarring about become? |
13583 | Now, what does your question point at in reference to your new edition, asking"if we want more"? |
13583 | Or are you perhaps writing a Book? |
13583 | Or do you ever mean to learn it? |
13583 | Or perhaps it is not a whit worse; only rougher, more substantial; on the whole better? |
13583 | Or the power( and thence the call) to teach man''s duties as they flow from the Superhuman? |
13583 | Or who knows but Mahomet may go to the mountain? |
13583 | Patience;--and yet who can be patient? |
13583 | People cry over it:"Whitherward? |
13583 | Perhaps in some late number of the_ Zeitgenossen_ there may be something? |
13583 | Probably, there is no chance before the middle of March or so? |
13583 | Read the article_ Simonides_ by him in the_ London and Westminster_--brilliant prose, translations-- wooden? |
13583 | Says not the sarcasm,"Truth hath the plague in his house"? |
13583 | Shall it be Switzerland, shall it be Scotland, nay, shall it be America and Concord? |
13583 | Shall we have anthracite coal or wood in your chamber? |
13583 | Suppose you and I promulgate a treatise next,"How to see"? |
13583 | Tell me of the author''s health and welfare; or, will not he love me so much as to write me a letter with his own hand? |
13583 | Tell me whether you dislike it less; what you do think of it? |
13583 | That he is a better Christian, with his"bastard Christianity,"than the most of us shovel- hatted? |
13583 | That is the right way, is it not? |
13583 | The Cat- Raphael? |
13583 | The Printer is slack and lazy as Printers are; and you do not wish to write till you can send some news of him? |

13583 | The way to speak it when found?" |
13583 | The"Lectures on the Times"are even now in progress? |
13583 | Then again I think it is perhaps better so; who knows? |
13583 | These voices of yours which I likened to unembodied souls, and censure sometimes for having no body,--how can they have a body? |
13583 | They are delivering Orations about him, and emitting other kinds of froth,_ ut mos est._ What hurt can it do? |
13583 | They are even of benefit? |
13583 | They ask, What shall be done? |
13583 | To fly in the teeth of English Puseyism, and risk such shrill welcome as I am pretty sure of, is questionable: yet at bottom why not? |
13583 | To what use, surely? |
13583 | Varnhagen himself will not bring up your fourth volume to the right size; hardly beyond 380 pages, I should think; yet what more can be done? |
13583 | Very saucy, was it not? |
13583 | Were you created by the Tailor? |
13583 | What am I to do? |
13583 | What can we say in these cases? |
13583 | What could Homer, Socrates, or St. Paul say that can not be said here? |
13583 | What does he at Clifton? |
13583 | What has life better to offer than such tidings? |
13583 | What have you to do with Italy? |
13583 | What help, O James? |
13583 | What is to hinder huge London from being to universal Saxondom what small Mycale was to the Tribes of Greece,--a place to hold your[ Greek] in? |
13583 | What news, my dear friend, from your study? |
13583 | What she is to write I know not, except it be what she has said, holding up the pamphlet,"Is it not a noble thing? |
13583 | What would it avail to tell you anecdotes of a sweet and wonderful boy, such as we solace and sadden ourselves with at home every morning and evening? |
13583 | What, What?" |
13583 | When will you come and redeem your pledge? |
13583 | Wherefore, putting all things together, can not I feel that I have washed my hands of this business in a quite tolerable manner? |
13583 | Why may you not give the reins to your wit, your pathos, your philosophy, and become that good despot which the virtuous orator is? |
13583 | Why not you come over, since I can not? |
13583 | Why will not this_ Appendix_ do, these_ Appendixes,_ to hang to the skirts of Volume Four as well? |
13583 | Will it ever reach him? |
13583 | Will not that do? |
13583 | Will this_ Appendix_ do, then? |
13583 | Will you say to him that he sent me some books two or three years ago without any account of prices annexed? |
13583 | Yet I work better under this base necessity, and then I have a certain delight( base also?) |
13583 | Yet how is it that I do not hear? |
13583 | Yet it was to fulfil my duty, finish my mission, not with much hope of gratifying him,--in the spirit of"If I love you, what is that to you?" |
13583 | Yet perhaps it is the proper place after all, seeing all places are improper: who knows? |
13583 | You can not believe it? |

13583 | You, friend Emerson, are to be a Farmer, you say, and dig Earth for your living? |
13583 | _ Varnhagen_ may be printed I think without offence, since there is need of it: if that will make up your fourth volume to a due size, why not? |
13583 | and WHEREFORE? |
13583 | and_ Mirabeau_ and_ Macaulay?_ Stearns Wheeler is very faithful in his loving labor,--has taken a world of pains with the sweetest smile. |
13583 | canst thou not make a pulpit by simply_ inverting the nearest tub?_"yet, alas! |
13583 | he has to fly again.--Did you get his letter? |
13583 | in the whole circle of History is there the parallel of that,--a true worship rising at this hour of the day for Bands and the Shovel- hat? |
13583 | my horror of_ Lecturing_ continues great; and what else is there for me to do there? |
13583 | or What is your American rule? |
13583 | was it you that defalcated? |
13583 | what designs ripened or executed? |
13583 | what hopes? |
13583 | what thoughts? |
31809 | Captain Payn in the harbour? |
31809 | Do you think it an unusually good guide- book? |
31809 | John, do you see that bed of resignation? |
31809 | Putis described quite differently from your version in a book I have; what are your rules? |
31809 | This ship is on fire, I see that; but why a pantomime? |
31809 | Var? |
31809 | You do n''t look a strong man,said the doctor;"but are you sound?" |
31809 | ( 2) But what does she love me for? |

31809 | 12)720(60 72 Is it possible? |
31809 | All at once? |
31809 | Also, could I have a look at Ewing''s_ précis_? |
31809 | Also, do you remember my strong, old, rooted belief that I shall die by drowning? |
31809 | Also, wherefore not a word, dear Colvin? |
31809 | Am I very sorry? |
31809 | Am I wrong? |
31809 | And O, why have I allowed myself to rot so long on land? |
31809 | And again:"to say all"? |
31809 | And anyway, is not excitement the proper reward of doing anything both right and a little dangerous? |
31809 | And can you believe that, though it is gaily expressed, the thought is hag and skeleton in every moment of vacuity or depression? |
31809 | And do you never come east? |
31809 | And how about me, sir, me? |
31809 | And if I had? |
31809 | And if he fails, why should I hear him weeping? |
31809 | And if the thing you do is to call upon others to do the thing you neglect? |
31809 | And if you are, why take a wilfully false hypothesis? |
31809 | And is it not perhaps a mere folly to attempt, from so hopeless a distance, anything so delicate as a series of papers? |
31809 | And now is this news, Cogia, or is it not? |
31809 | And now to the main point: why do we not see you? |
31809 | And now-- I wonder if I have not gone too far with the fantastic? |
31809 | And that again brings back( almost with the voice of despair) my unanswerable: why is it false? |
31809 | And that you would aiblins pay for me? |
31809 | And who has not? |

31809 | But suppose, for the sake of argument, any money to be left in the hands of my painful doer, what is to be done with it? |
31809 | But the odd problem is: what makes a story true? |
31809 | But to what end should we renew these sorrows? |
31809 | But what is man? |
31809 | But what of that? |
31809 | But whaur? |
31809 | But who is Miss Green? |
31809 | But who was Miss Green? |
31809 | But why has he read too much Arnold? |
31809 | But why should I blame Gladstone, when I too am a Bourgeois? |
31809 | But why should I gird at you or anybody, when the truth is we are the most miserable sinners in the world? |
31809 | But why should you forget yourself and use these same italics as an index to my theology some pages further on? |

31809 | Et vous, mon très cher ami? |
31809 | Even as a boy, the Sibyl would have bust me; but I never read the VIth till I began it two days ago; it is all fresh and wonderful; do you envy me? |
31809 | Excellent, say you, but will you save and will you repay? |
31809 | First, I had to sink a lot of money in the cruise, and if I did n''t get health, how was I to get it back? |

31809 | I am pleased that Mr. Gilder should like my literature; and I ask you particularly to thank Mr. Bunner( have I the name right?) |
31809 | I am still of the same mind five years later; did you observe that I had said"modern"authors? |
31809 | I am trying to write out this haunting bodily sense of absence; besides, what else should I write of? |
31809 | I am very sorry to hear you have been so poorly; I have been very well; it used to be quite the other way, used it not? |
31809 | I can imagine how you will wag your pow over it; and how ragged you will find it, etc., but has it not spirit all the same? |
31809 | I did not answer your letter from the States, for what was I to say? |
31809 | I do feel as if I was a coward and a traitor to desert my friends; only, my dear lady, you know what a miserable corrhyzal( is that how it is spelt?) |
31809 | I do not say my attitude is noble; but is yours conciliatory? |
31809 | I fear men who have no open faults; what do they conceal? |

31809 | I like the first? |
31809 | I mean if I fail, why should I weep? |
31809 | I shall be off, I hope, in a week; but where? |

31809 | I suppose, if you please, you may say your verses are thin( would you so describe an arrow, by the way, and one that struck the gold? |
31809 | I think the receipt of such a letter might humble, shall I say even----? |
31809 | I was vexed at your account of my admired Meredith: I wish I could go and see him; as it is I will try to write; and yet( do you understand me?) |
31809 | I wonder did any of my letters from beautiful Tautira ever come to hand, with the descriptions of our life with Louis''s adopted brother Ori a Ori? |
31809 | I wonder how you liked the end of_ The Master_; that was the hardest job I ever had to do; did I do it? |

31809 | If you think it a dream, will Bain get me a second- hand copy, or who would? |
31809 | In the matter of the dedication, are not cross dedications a little awkward? |
31809 | Insatiable gulf, greedier than hell, and more silent than the woods of Styx, have you or have you not lost the dedication to the_ Child''s Garden_? |
31809 | Is it altogether your own? |
31809 | Is it not angelic? |

31809 | Is it possible I have wounded you in some way? |
31809 | Is it possible for a man in Samoa to be in touch with the great heart of the People? |

31809 | Is not this wonderful? |
31809 | Is repentance, which God accepts, to have no avail with men? |
31809 | Is that not pretty? |
31809 | Is there any Greek Isle you would like to explore? |
31809 | Is there no chance of your coming hereabouts? |
31809 | Is there no word of it? |
31809 | Is there not some escape, some furlough from the Moral Law, some holiday jaunt contrivable into a Better Land? |
31809 | Is there one? |
31809 | Is this all? |
31809 | It is one that appeals to me, deals with that part of life that I think the most important, and you, if I gather rightly, so much less so? |
31809 | It scarce seems life to me; what must it be to you? |
31809 | It was strangely like old times to read the other; do n''t you remember the poisoning with mushrooms? |
31809 | Je ne puis même pas m''exprimer en Anglais; comment voudriez vous que je le pourrais en Français? |

31809 | Ninth Objection: But am I not taken with the hope of excitement? |
31809 | No? |
31809 | Now when the spring begins, you must lay in your flowers: how do you say about a potted hawthorn? |
31809 | Now, look here, could you get me a loan of the Despatches, or is that a dream? |
31809 | Of course, if I go in the_ Morning Star_, I see all the eastern( or western?) |
31809 | Perhaps your daughter''s house has not a balcony at the back? |
31809 | Preaching the dankest Grundyism and upholding the rank customs of our trade-- you who are so cruel hard upon the customs of the publishers? |
31809 | Proavidence is a fine thing, but hoo would you like Proavidence to keep your till for ye? |

31809 | Shall I? |

31809 | Sixteen, you say? |
31809 | So I jest, when I do n''t address my mind to it: when I do, shall I be smit louting to my knee, as before the G. O. M.? |
31809 | Suppose that to be the case, will they be of any use to me in my place of exile? |
31809 | Suppose they_ are_ wrong? |

31809 | Thank you again: you can draw and yet you do not love the ugly: what are you doing in this age? |
31809 | Thank you for it; my wife says,"Ca n''t I see him when we get back to London?" |

31809 | That''s a good idea? |
31809 | The lad? |

31809 | There is Smeoroch[8]: is he blind? |
31809 | This is a great order, is it not? |

31809 | To be idle at Dover is a strange pretension; pray, how do you warm yourself? |
31809 | To which of these does B. J. refer? |

31809 | We are like to be here, however, many a long week before we get away, and then whither? |
31809 | We can not get any fruit here: can you manage to send me some grapes? |

31809 | Whaur the devil did ye get thon about the soap? |
31809 | When I saw you ten years ago, you looked rough and-- kind of stigmatised, a look of an embittered political shoemaker; where is it now? |

31809 | Would you be surprised to learn that I contemplate becoming a shipowner? |
31809 | Yes, it is like old times to be writing you from the Riviera, and after all that has come and gone, who can predict anything? |
31809 | Yet we see that he has left an influence; the memory of his patient courtesy has often checked me in rudeness; has it not you? |
31809 | You can give me that much, can you not? |
31809 | You may remember Walter had a romantic affection for all pharmacies? |
31809 | You remember my lectures on Ajax, or the Unintentional Sin? |
31809 | You say you are"a spoon- fed idiot"; but how about Lenz? |
31809 | You see how this d-- d poeshie flows from me in sickness: Are they good or bad? |
31809 | You will tell me, perhaps, that you carry the coin yourself: my dear sir, do you think you can fool your Maker? |
31809 | [ 31] What is a haole? |

31809 | and has it brought you luck? |
31809 | and have you ever read it yourself? |
31809 | and if the latter, is that allowed? |
31809 | and just what the soom was? |
31809 | and one giving a lively, though not flattering air of him in conversation? |
31809 | and the bottles in the window were for him a poem? |
31809 | and though the verse is not all your fancy painted it, has it not some life? |
31809 | and what about the sailors''food? |
31809 | and will you observe again that this passage touches the very joint of our division? |
31809 | et l''enfant? |
31809 | et la femme? |
31809 | how is that? |
31809 | how? |
31809 | is it so long? |

31809 | that he is rarely out of the house nowadays, and carries his arm in a sling? |
31809 | what does it change? |
31809 | what return But the image of the emptiness of youth, Filled with the sound of footsteps and that voice Of discontent and rapture and despair? |
31809 | what was the context? |
31809 | what? |
31809 | when I have held my peace? |
31809 | £ 60!!?? |
31809 | £ 60!!?? |
30714 | And has one man done all this? |
30714 | Be sure we''ll have some pleisand weather, When a''the clouds( storms?) 30714 Has he done his work?" |
30714 | His brother was killed there,pursued Salé; and Belle, prompt as an echo,"Then there are no more of the family? |
30714 | Is this the road across the island? |
30714 | The coast is so rugged,said Salé.--"What?" |
30714 | Ulufanua the isle of the sea,read that verse dactylically and you get the beat; the u''s are like our double oo; did ever you hear a prettier word? |
30714 | Well,said the waiter,"what d''you expect? |
30714 | What do you call that? |
30714 | What do you want with a gun, Arick? |
30714 | What that? |
30714 | White man he gone up here? |
30714 | Why do you do that? |
30714 | ( 1) Will Mataafa surrender? |
30714 | ( 2) Will his people allow themselves to be disarmed? |
30714 | ( 3) What will happen to them if they do? |
30714 | ( 4) What will any of them believe after former deceptions? |

30714 | A subject? |
30714 | Adela, Adela, Adela Chart, What have you done to my elderly heart? |
30714 | Aha, say you, and what is a black boy? |
30714 | Also could any trace be found through Nether- Carsewell? |
30714 | Am I beginning to be sucked in? |
30714 | Am I right in thinking you were a shade bored over the last chapters? |
30714 | And AM I HANGIT? |
30714 | And I dare say the consuls say,"Why, then, does he write them?" |
30714 | And I thought the French were a polite race? |
30714 | And Old X----? |
30714 | And first, how about blunders? |
30714 | And hence, how to sugar? |
30714 | And if I had done so, what would have been the result? |
30714 | And if so, why is the lava sharp? |
30714 | And rest? |
30714 | And then the problem that Pinkerton laid down: why the artist can_ do nothing else_? |
30714 | And then? |
30714 | And was that last chapter worth the trouble it cost? |
30714 | And who is the true champion of Samoa? |
30714 | And why ca n''t R. L. S.? |
30714 | And why did I read it to an end, W. E. G.? |
30714 | And will you please to observe that almost all that is ugly is in the whites? |
30714 | And without an opinion, how to string artistically vast accumulations of fact? |
30714 | Apropos, I want a book about Paris, and the_ first return_ of the_ émigrés_ and all up to the_ Cent Jours_: d''ye ken anything in my way? |
30714 | Are you Great Eaters? |
30714 | Are you a reader of Barbey d''Aurévilly? |
30714 | Are you going to do it? |
30714 | As he left I heard the villagers asking_ which was the great lady_? |
30714 | As yet we have not had it at Vailima, and, who knows? |
30714 | At last we had him spread- eagled to the iron bedstead, by his wrists and ankles, with matted rope; a most inhumane business, but what could we do? |
30714 | B._ map? |
30714 | Balfour_? |
30714 | Because? |
30714 | Boys switched out of college into a pulpit, what chance have they? |
30714 | But Marbot and Vitrolles are dead, and what has become of the living? |
30714 | But could I, in my present disposition, do much more with it? |
30714 | But did you ever hear of anything so tantalizing as for you to tell me the story and not send me your notes? |
30714 | But in this out- of- the- way place, are these extreme experiments wise? |
30714 | But then with what colour to relieve it? |
30714 | But what are they made of? |
30714 | But what did he want with me? |
30714 | But what have you to do with this? |
30714 | But what was his errand with me? |
30714 | But what would it matter? |
30714 | But what would the ex- Slade professor do about the letter Y? |
30714 | But when or where to say so? |
30714 | But which is it to be? |
30714 | But why has it not come? |
30714 | But will you not run dry of fairy stories? |
30714 | By the by, did you ever play piquet? |
30714 | By the by, was it not over_ The Child''s Garden of Verses_ that we first scraped acquaintance? |
30714 | Can I finish it for next mail? |
30714 | Can I really have found the tap- root of my illustrious ancestry at last? |
30714 | Can that be the difference? |
30714 | Can you give us any advice as to a fresh field of energy? |
30714 | Can you help? |
30714 | Can you not see that the work of_ falsification_ which a play demands is of all tasks the most ungrateful? |
30714 | Certainly Kipling has the gifts; the fairy godmothers were all tipsy at his christening: what will he do with them? |
30714 | Could it be again at the circuit town? |
30714 | Could we ever stand Europe again? |
30714 | Could you get me further back? |
30714 | Did I ask you to send me my books and papers, and all the bound volumes of the mag.? |
30714 | Did I go and dedicate my book[64] to the nasty alien, and the''norrid Frenchman, and the Bloody Furrineer? |
30714 | Did ever anybody see such a story of four characters? |
30714 | Did you ever blow the conch shell? |
30714 | Did you observe the dedication? |
30714 | Did you read the_ Witch of Prague_? |
30714 | Did you see a silly tale,_ John Nicholson''s Predicament_,[15] or some such name, in which I made free with your home at Murrayfield? |
30714 | Did_ no one_ of them write memoirs? |
30714 | Do I then prefer a famine to a war? |
30714 | Do I wish to advertise? |
30714 | Do you appreciate the height and depth of my temptation? |
30714 | Do you know I picked up the other day an old Longman''s where I found an article of yours that I had missed, about Christie''s? |
30714 | Do you know anything of Thomson? |
30714 | Do you know anything of it? |
30714 | Do you know barbed wire? |
30714 | Do you know the story of the man who found a button in his hash, and called the waiter? |
30714 | Do you know the_ Chevalier des Touches_ and_ L''Ensorcelée_? |
30714 | Do you know where the road crosses the burn under Glencorse Church? |
30714 | Do you know, and have you really tasted, these delightful works? |
30714 | Do you know, it strikes me as being really very good? |
30714 | Do you know, though we are but three miles from the village metropolis, we have no road to it, and our goods are brought on the pack- saddle? |
30714 | Do you know, when I am in this mood, I would rather try to read a bad book? |
30714 | Do you mind the SIGNAL of Waterloo Place?--Hey, how the blood stands to the heart at such a memory!--Hae ye the notes o''t? |
30714 | Do you mind the youth in highland garb and the tableful of coppers? |
30714 | Do you not suppose that makes me proud? |
30714 | Do you see me doing that with a catarrh? |
30714 | Do you think I have an empty life? |
30714 | Do you think it would look like affectation to dedicate the whole edition to his memory? |
30714 | Do you understand? |
30714 | Do you wish to illustrate_ My Grandfather_? |
30714 | Does it not amaze you? |
30714 | Does it shake my cast- iron faith? |
30714 | Expect to find a gold watch and chain?" |
30714 | Fiction? |
30714 | For how many centuries did literature get along without a sign of it? |
30714 | For what is this that you say about the Muses? |
30714 | Gay designation? |
30714 | Had the secret oozed out? |
30714 | Has he changed his mind already? |
30714 | Have the Neilston parish registers been searched? |
30714 | Have you any document for the decapitation? |
30714 | Have you any old notes of the trouble in the West Indian business which took Hugh and Alan to their deaths? |
30714 | Have you been as forgetful as Lloyd? |
30714 | Have you buried it in a napkin? |
30714 | Have you identified Nether Carsewell? |
30714 | Have you seen it coming out in Longman''s? |
30714 | Have you seen no more of Graham? |
30714 | He asked me why I had not been to see him? |
30714 | He was helping his wife on the verandah, and gaily talking, when suddenly he put both hands to his head, and cried out,"What''s that?" |
30714 | He writes very prettily, and then afterwards? |
30714 | Heads or tails? |
30714 | Heard you ever of him? |
30714 | Heavenly apologue, is it not? |
30714 | Here is a long while I have been waiting for something_ good_ in art; and what have I seen? |
30714 | Here, you boy, what you do there? |
30714 | History for Children? |
30714 | How about my old friend Fountainhall''s_ Decisions?_ I remember as a boy that there was some good reading there. |
30714 | How can anybody care when or how I left Honolulu? |
30714 | How could I have dreamed the French prisoners were watched over like a female charity school, kept in a grotesque livery, and shaved twice a week? |
30714 | How do journalists fetch up their drivel? |
30714 | How does it strike you? |
30714 | How does_ The Wrecker_ go in the States? |
30714 | How had they acquired so considerable a business at an age so early? |
30714 | How have I seen this first number? |
30714 | How if he should put dynamite under the gaol, and in case of an attempted rescue blow up prison and all? |
30714 | How is it that amateurs invariably take better photographs than professionals? |
30714 | How is that for high? |
30714 | How should the grave Be victor over these, Mother, a mother of men?" |
30714 | How to get back? |
30714 | How would Rarotonga do? |
30714 | How, then, to choose some former age, and stick there? |
30714 | I always suspect_ you_ of a volume of sonnets up your sleeve; when is it coming down? |
30714 | I am sending you a lot of verses, which had best, I think, be called_ Underwoods_ Book III., but in what order are they to go? |
30714 | I can not bear this suspense: what is it? |
30714 | I do n''t think I ever saw this engraved; would it not, if you could get track of it, prove a taking embellishment? |
30714 | I have not got beyond James Stevenson and Jean Keir his spouse, to whom Robert the First(?) |
30714 | I have the old petty, personal view of honour? |
30714 | I have_ carte blanche_, and say what I like; but does any single soul understand me? |
30714 | I helped the chiefs who were in prison; and when they were set free, what should they do but offer to make a part of my road for me out of gratitude? |
30714 | I know what kind of effect I mean a character to give-- what kind of_ tache_ he is to make; but how am I to tell my collaborator in words? |
30714 | I never could fathom why verse was put in magazines; it has something to do with the making- up, has it not? |
30714 | I observe with disgust that while of yore, when I own I was guilty, you never spared me abuse-- but now, when I am so virtuous, where is the praise? |
30714 | I pulled it off, of course, I won the wager, and it is pleasant while it lasts; but how long will it last? |
30714 | I remember acknowledging with rapture_ The Lesson of the Master_, and I remember receiving_ Marbot_: was that our last relation? |
30714 | I said,"all these villages and no landing- place?" |
30714 | I say, have you ever read the_ Highland Widow_? |
30714 | I see with some alarm the proposal to print_ Juvenilia_; does it not seem to you taking myself a little too much as Grandfather William? |
30714 | I thought Bourget was a friend of yours? |
30714 | I thought_ Aladdin_[37] capital fun; but why, in fortune, did he pretend it was moral at the end? |
30714 | I wonder exceedingly if I have done anything at all good; and who can tell me? |
30714 | I wonder if any one had ever the same attitude to Nature as I hold, and have held for so long? |
30714 | I wonder if you think as ill of mine as I do of yours? |
30714 | I wonder if you think as well of your purple passages as I do of mine? |
30714 | I wonder is there nothing that seems to prolong the series? |
30714 | I, as a personal artist, can begin a character with only a haze in my head, but how if I have to translate the haze into words before I begin? |
30714 | I. JAMES, a tenant of the Mures, in Nether- Carsewell,|| Neilston, married( 1665?) |
30714 | If that was Heaven, what, in the name of Davy Jones and the aboriginal night- mare, could Hell be? |
30714 | If this be so, might not the Cauldwell charter chest contain some references to their Stevenson tenantry? |
30714 | Is he still afloat? |
30714 | Is it next Christmas you are coming? |
30714 | Is it possible for me to write a preface here? |
30714 | Is something of this sort practicable for the dedication? |
30714 | Is that your mother''s breakfast? |
30714 | Is there any book which would guide me as to the following facts? |
30714 | Is this the reason why war has disappeared? |
30714 | Is this, then, a new_ drive_[83] among the monkeys? |
30714 | It is great fun( I have tried it) for the child, and I never heard of it doing any harm to the fishes: so what could be more jolly? |
30714 | It is not all beer and skittles, is it? |
30714 | It sounds cheering, does n''t it? |
30714 | It was Kirriemuir, was it not? |
30714 | It was about four, I suppose, that we met in the Lothian Road,--had we the price of two bitters between us? |
30714 | It''s done, and of course it ai n''t worth while, and who cares? |
30714 | It''s no forgery? |
30714 | J. Horne Stevenson( do you know him?) |
30714 | Jack saw it, and he was appalled; do you think he thought of shying? |
30714 | Last, will it mark sufficiently that I mean my wife? |
30714 | Lives of the Stevensons? |
30714 | Looked at so, is it not, with all its tragic features, wonderfully idyllic, with great beauty of scene and circumstance? |
30714 | Make another end to it? |
30714 | May I tell the sister of my father? |
30714 | Might I ask if you have any material to go upon? |
30714 | My good man, is it three or five years that you have been to sea?" |
30714 | O I know I have n''t told you about our_ aitu_, have I? |
30714 | Of A----, B----, C----, D----, E----, F----, at all? |
30714 | Of course you will send me sheets of the catalogue; I suppose it( the preface) need not be long; perhaps it should be rather very short? |
30714 | On Friday, Henry came and told us he must leave and go to"my poor old family in Savaii"; why? |
30714 | On Thursday, a policeman came up to me and began that a boy had been to see him, and said I was going to see Mataafa.--"And what did you say?" |
30714 | On the return journey on Sunday, they were led by Austin playing(?) |
30714 | On the way down Fanny said,"Now what would you do if you saw Colvin coming up?" |
30714 | Or is it only afternoon tea? |
30714 | Or suppose he took the other version, how would he meet the case, the two N.''s? |
30714 | Or would that look like sham modesty, and is it better to bring out the three Roberts? |
30714 | Or-- might Lieutenant G. be her tutor, and she fugitive to the Pringles, and on the discovery of her whereabouts hastily married? |
30714 | Query, in a man who has been so much calumniated, is that not justifiable? |
30714 | Query, was that lost? |
30714 | Question: How far a Historical Novel should be wholly episodic? |
30714 | Samoa? |
30714 | Shall I be suffered to embark? |
30714 | Shall I become a midnight twitterer like my neighbours? |
30714 | So you have tried fiction? |
30714 | So you think there is nothing better to be done with time than that? |
30714 | So, at last, you are going into mission work? |
30714 | Stevenson?" |
30714 | Stevensons? |
30714 | Surely you had not recognised the phrase about boodle? |
30714 | TO HENRY JAMES_ December 5th, 1892._ MY DEAR JAMES,--How comes it so great a silence has fallen? |
30714 | TO SIDNEY COLVIN_ Saturday, 24th(?) |
30714 | Talking of which, ai n''t it manners in France to acknowledge a dedication? |
30714 | The thought began to haunt him, What if his power of earning were soon to cease? |
30714 | Then he asked quickly,"Do I look strange?" |
30714 | Then my wife asked him,"So you refuse to break bread?" |
30714 | Then_ viator_( though it_ sounds_ all right) is doubtful; it has too much, perhaps, the sense of wayfarer? |
30714 | They may be seen to shrug a brown shoulder, to roll up a speaking eye, and at last secret burst from them:"Where is the bottle?" |
30714 | This makes a cheery life after Samoa; but it is n''t what you call burning the candle at both ends, is it? |
30714 | Those who had accompanied them cried to them on the streets as they were marched to prison,"Shall we rescue you?" |
30714 | True; but why did he go? |
30714 | Was it grateful? |
30714 | Was it politic? |
30714 | Well, suppose we call that cried off, and begin as before? |
30714 | Well, then, what is curious? |
30714 | Were they arrested? |
30714 | What about my Grandfather? |
30714 | What ails you, miserable man, to talk of saving material? |
30714 | What am I to do? |
30714 | What did I mean? |
30714 | What do I please? |
30714 | What do I think of it all? |
30714 | What do the little girls in the cellar think that Austin does? |
30714 | What do we know of yours? |
30714 | What do you care for ours? |
30714 | What do you suppose should be done with_ The Ebb Tide_? |
30714 | What do you think of it for a year? |
30714 | What do you think of that for a vicissitude? |
30714 | What does my village want? |
30714 | What else are you doing or thinking of doing? |
30714 | What else is to be done for these silly folks? |
30714 | What for he take my pig?" |
30714 | What has gone on? |
30714 | What is wrong, then? |
30714 | What is your love to his love? |
30714 | What was in it? |
30714 | What will Cedercrantz think when he comes back? |
30714 | What will he do with it? |
30714 | What would you do with a guest at such narrow seasons?--eat him? |
30714 | When Mataafa was taken, who was our support but Tusitala? |
30714 | When shall I receive proofs of the Magnum Opus? |
30714 | When your hand is in, will you remember our poor Edinburgh Robin? |

30714 | Where there are traders, there will be ammunition; aphorism by R. L. S. Now what am I to do next? |
30714 | Where would this trial have to be? |
30714 | Whether to add one or both the tales I sent you? |
30714 | Whether to call the whole volume_ Island Nights''Entertainments_? |
30714 | Who could foresee that they clothed the French prisoners in yellow? |
30714 | Who has changed the sentence? |
30714 | Why did I take up_ David Balfour_? |
30714 | Why do you not send me Jerome K. Jerome''s paper, and let me see_ The Ebb Tide_ as a serial? |
30714 | Why does n''t some young man take it up? |
30714 | Why have I wasted the little time that is left with a sort of naked review article? |
30714 | Why should I disguise it? |
30714 | Why should not young Hermiston escape clear out of the country? |
30714 | Why should they not then? |
30714 | Why should you suppose your book will be slated because you have no friends? |
30714 | Why the devil does no one send me Atalanta? |
30714 | Why? |
