9784The answer he gives is that of Schiller:"Welche der Religionen?
9784The question is, Does a man really love Truth, or only the market price of it?
9784The strong man, what is he?
9784Then where is the place for a Creator?
9784Then why do n''t you kill yourself, sir?
9784These limbs, whence had we them; this stormy Force; this life- blood with its burning passion?
9784Treason never prospers, what''s the reason?
9784Warum?
9784Was ever woman in this humour woo''d, Was ever woman in this humour won?
9784Were it permitted, I would pray, but to whom?
9784What can we say, but that the cause which pleased the gods had in the end to please Cato also?
9784What in these days are terrors of conscience to diseases of the liver?
9784What is all work but a drudgery?
9784What is this but Byron''s cry,"I am not happy,"which his afterwards stern critic compares to the screaming of a meat- jack?
9784What is to be done with my_ empty Head_?
9784What portion of this globe have ye tilled and delved till it will grow no more?
9784What then is left for Carlyle''s Creed?
9784What were the doctrines which in his view Calvinism shadowed forth and which were so infinitely true, so ennobling to human life?
9784Who will celebrate their yet undefined successors, who will train Germany gracefully to bear the burden of prosperity?
9784Who would be great at such a price?
9784Who would buy so much misery with so much labour?
9784Why, ask patriotic Scotsmen, did he not take up his and their favourite Knox?
9784Will swift railways and sacrifices to Hudson help me towards that?
9784Will you teach me the winged flight through immensity, up to the throne dark with excess of bright?
9784Yes, 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?
9784fit him, like Ruskin''s verdict,"What can you say of Carlyle but that he was born in the clouds and struck by the lightning?"
9784nay, shall it be America and Concord?
9784shall it be Scotland?
20263E perche? 20263 Quid tam nudum inveniri potest, quid tam abruptum undique quam hoc saxum?
20263Um,said he,"e nel Papa?
20263What 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?
20263And why?"
20263And yet why trust a greasy cook?
20263Are not you very proud of your Ode to Midnight?
20263But is not that the case in every miscellaneous collection, even in that excellent one published by Mr. Dodsley?
20263But to proceed; can a man make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land from the Island of Great Britain, without the aid of navigation?
20263But who is this the fire of whose look flames infinitely beyond the rest?
20263Can a man of acknowledged ignorance and stupidity, write a tragedy superior to Hamlet?
20263Can a man walk in the Mall at noon, carrying his breeches upon an enormous long pole, without being laughed at?
20263Can any thing be more condescending, and at the same time shew more the firmness of an heroick mind, than this letter?
20263Could you come?
20263Could your Lordship find time to honour me now and then with a letter?
20263Dear BOSWELL,--How shall I begin?
20263Dear ERSKINE,--Can a man walk up the Cowgate after a heavy rain without dirtying his shoes?
20263Dear ERSKINE,--What sort of a letter shall I now write to you?
20263Derrick''s versifications are infamously bad; what think you of the Reviewers commending such an execrable performance?
20263Did you ever suspect me of believing your marriage?
20263Did you really believe it?
20263For 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?
20263He therefore advanced, and addressed himself to me,''Sir, is it proper for me to speak?''
20263How goes it with the elegant gentle Lady A----?
20263How is my honest Captain Andrew?
20263I could now tell why I should not write; for who would write to men who publish the letters of their friends without their leave?
20263I liked to see their natural frankness and ease;[97] for why should men be afraid of their own species?
20263I ventured to object:"But why has not Providence interposed sooner?"
20263If these things continue, who is safe?
20263In the name of every thing that is upside down, what could the people mean by marrying me?
20263Is Dodsley to sell you for a shilling, or not?
20263Now, my dear Captain, tell me how is it with you, after reading this?
20263Or give to meat the time of play?
20263Plures tamen hîc peregrini quam cives consistunt?
20263Pray shall we not see you here this winter at all?
20263Pray what is become of the Cub?
20263Say, who could e''er indulge a yawn or nap, When Barclay roars forth snip, and Bainbridge snap?
20263Shall I cram it from top to bottom with tables of compound interest?
20263Swells the full song?
20263Tell me how our second volume is received; I was much pleased with N----''s lines; how did he get them inserted?
20263Tell me how you was affected; could you speak any?
20263Tell me, dear Erskine, should not I My favourite path of fortune try?
20263The exordium is a passionate address to Captains all; amongst whom, who can more properly be reckoned than Captain Andrew?
20263Upon my arrival, the captain of the guard came out, and demanded who I was?
20263Well, and what then?
20263What can her keeping of Turkeys be owing to?
20263What sort of a son had Cicero, and what had Marcus Aurelius?"
20263What would I not do to gain your pardon?
20263When 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?
20263While ev''ry trout gulps down a hook, And poor dumb beasts harsh butchers slay?
20263Why do n''t you send me a copy?
20263Why, then, should I suppress it?
20263Why,''out of the abundance of the heart,''should I not speak?"
20263With what feeling are you most strongly possessed?
20263[ 77][ Footnote 76:"ADAMS.--But, Sir, how can you do this in three years?

20263and how, O how does that glorious luminary Lady B---- do?
20263and in the Pope?"
20263and is the laugh of gaiety no more?
20263and would not the sight of me have made you very miserable?
20263could you fix your thoughts upon anything but the dreary way you was in?
20263has he a landed estate?
20263has the smile of cheerfulness left your countenance?
20263has your flow of spirits evaporated, and left nothing but the black dregs of melancholy behind?
20263or a genteel comedy superior to the Careless Husband?
20263or with long stories translated from Olaus Wormius?
20263quid ad copias respicienti jejunius?
20263quid ad homines immansuetius?
20263quid ad ipsum loci situm horridius?
20263the lovely sighing Lady J----?
20263what in climate more intemperate?
20263what in the very situation of the place more horrible?
20263what is the length of his walking- stick?
20263what more barren of provisions?
20263what more rude as to its inhabitants?
20263what species of apology shall I make?
20263what transport can you feel, In turning round on either heel?
20263why am I not chained to Donaldson''s shop?
20263why am I not in Edinburgh?
20263with anecdotes of Queen Anne''s wars?
20263with excerpts from Robertson''s history?
52246How 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?
52246And if so how much?
52246And shall not every liberal soul be warm for them?''
52246And what is it that he succeeded in expressing?
52246And what more or what less could anyone want?
52246Are any of you gentlemen at the Bar able to explain this?''
52246Ask gravely, Pray do n''t you imagine there is something of madness in that family?''
52246At the end of all the struggle and the horror, the strange joys and the fantastic dreams, what has happened?
52246But he is offended with that fire which you and I cherish as the essence of our soul; and how can I make him happy?
52246But how was this to be done?
52246But if he does earnest?
52246But what was the final result?
52246Can 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?
52246Could your Lordship find time to honour me now and then with a letter?
52246Do men respect him?
52246Do n''t you consider, Sir, that these are not the manners of a gentleman?
52246Do they love him?
52246Do 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?''
52246Had he, in the first place, any real care for the cause of Corsican liberty?
52246Has he been successful?
52246His Lordship very gravely and with a courteous air said,''Pray, sir, is it true that you are taking lessons of Vestris?''
52246How much are we to assume from this?
52246How much of Boswell''s respectability came directly from Johnson?
52246I ask him a plain establishing oratory and question, What do you altering the mode of British mean to teach?
52246I hope you are well, Mr. Lowe?
52246I 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?"''
52246I will not be baited with_ what_ and_ why_; what is this?
52246If they were to be written down in full once only, then why not in the proper Johnsonian stores?
52246Is the essential man the same?
52246Johnson is said to have related that one question was,''Pray, Sir, can you tell why an apple is round and a pear pointed?
52246May not time have altered her for the better as it has altered me?
52246Or have his ambitions and desires and the vital force of the man been modified?
52246Or what more than to hold your tongue about it?
52246Or why should this peculiar collection of''Boswelliana''take precedence?
52246Or would he fight with a different object?
52246Secondly, what were the substances present in abnormal quantity which caused the peculiarity?
52246Sir, it is do?''
52246Temple, would you not like such a son?
52246The Chancellor, as you observe, has not done as I expected; but why did I expect it?''
52246The Doctor, calling after him authoritatively, said:''What are you thinking of, Sir?
52246The judge said,''I never heard of such a writ-- what can it be that adheres pavimento?
52246The serjeant asked,''Who is this fellow?''
52246Two questions therefore are to be asked especially with regard to a genius: First, in what way was the conflagration peculiar?
52246Was he deliberately unkind, or negligent, or disagreeable?
52246Was his the hand at the helm?--the breath in the sails?
52246Was the cause worth struggling for, after all is done?
52246Was this the fault of the son?
52246Well, and what then?
52246What care_ I_ for his_ patriotic friends_?
52246What do you take me for?
52246What have you to do with Liberty and Necessity?
52246What is his position in the world?
52246What then is the range of Boswell''s conventionality and what are its limits?
52246What then was Boswell''s reputation among his contemporaries?
52246What think you, Temple, was her answer?
52246What view does the fighter take himself?
52246What would you have me do?''
52246When Dr. Johnson came in she called to him,''Do you choose any cold sheep''s head, Sir?''
52246Why do you get up before the cloth is removed?
52246Why then should I suppress it?
52246Why''out of the abundance of the heart''should I not speak?
52246Will that word do?
52246Would he fight on the same side if he could start again?
52246Would he refrain from fighting?
52246Would 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?
52246is this realising any of the towering hopes which have so often been the subject of our conversations and letters?''
52246what is that?
52246why is a cow''s tail long?
52246why is a fox''s tail bushy?''
13660Dost know me, friend? 13660 Has not Mr. Carey paid you?"
13660Old Fogeyand"Amiable Kuss"?
13660Then has he not paid Carlyle directly?
13660* A small hatchet- faced, gray- eyed, good- humored Inspector, who came with a Translated Lafontaine; and took his survey not without satisfaction?

13660--------- And how many were"printed,"thinks Mr. Phillips?
13660--------- Did you receive a Dumfries Newspaper with a criticism in it?
13660---------- And poor Miss Fuller, was there any_ Life_ ever published of her?
13660All people are in a sort of joy- dom over the new French Republic, which has descended suddenly( or shall we say,_ ascended_ alas?)
13660And if so, I should say, Why not come at once, even as the Editor surmises?
13660And who knows but I may come one day?
13660And you ought to come and look at it, beyond doubt; and say to this land,"Old Mother, how are you getting on at all?"
13660Are English of this day incapable of a great sentiment?
13660Are you a physician, and will you come?
13660Are you bound by your Arabian bounty to a largess whenever you think of your friend?
13660But 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?
13660But he is a good man, and, do you know it?
13660But since you are all bounty and care for me, where are the new volumes of the Library Edition of Carlyle?
13660But there is no more time in this late night-- and what need?
13660But what can I?
13660But what can be said?
13660But what do I read in our Boston Newspapers twice in the last three days?
13660But what had I, dear wise man, to tell you?
13660By some refraction which new lenses or else steamships shall operate, shall I not yet one day see again the disk of benign Phosphorus?
13660By the bye, do you know a"Massachusetts Historical Society,"and a James Bowdoin, seemingly of Boston?
13660Can I ever forget, or think otherwise than lovingly of the man Emerson?
13660Can you remember and tell me?
13660Carlyle to Emerson Chelsea, 8 July, 1851 Dear Emerson,--Don''t you still remember very well that there is such a man?
13660Clark( is not that the name?)
13660Did you find kings and priests?
13660Did you mean to show us that you could not be old, but immortally young?
13660Do not I very well understand all that you say about"apathized moods,"& c.?
13660Do you bethink you of Craigenputtock, and the still evening there?
13660Do you know Beriah Green?
13660Do you know Browning at all?
13660Emerson to Carlyle* Concord, May[?
13660Enough, enough; there will be all Eternity to rest in, as Arnauld said:"Why in such a fuss, little sir?"
13660Ever 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?
13660For example, you must tell Mr. Thoreau( is that the exact name?
13660For 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?
13660From Mr. Everett I learn that your Boston Lectures have been attended with renown enough: when are the Lectures themselves to get to print?
13660Had I kept silence so very long?
13660Hammond l''Estrange says,"Who ever heard of a stammering man that was a fool?"
13660Has your head grown grayish?
13660Have I not a Friend, and Friends, though they too are in sorrow?
13660Have you a physician that can?
13660Have you got proper_ spectacles_ for your eyes?
13660He is abstruse, but worth knowing.--And what of the_ Discourse on England_ by a certain man?
13660He was even a little stern on his nearest relatives when they came to him: Do I need your help to die?
13660How can you explain men to Apes by the Dead Sea?
13660How shall Queen Victoria read this?
13660I fear you wo n''t see Brigham Young, however?
13660I know not what your engagements are; but I say to myself, Why not come at once, and rest a little from your sea- changes, before going farther?
13660I shall think there, a fortnight might bring you from London to Walden Pond.--Life wears on, and do you say the gray hairs appear?
13660In fact I felt punished;--and who knows, if the case were seen into, whether I deserve it?
13660In 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?
13660Is Frederic recreated?
13660Is Frederic the Great?
13660Is it likely we shall meet in"Oregon,"think you?
13660Is not Henry James in London?
13660Is not this the most illustrious of all"ages"; making progress of the species at a grand rate indeed?
13660It is said: here, that you work upon Frederick the Great??
13660It is said: here, that you work upon Frederick the Great??
13660Macaulay''s_ History_ is also out, running through the fourth edition: did I tell you last time that I had read it,--with wonder and amazement?
13660Meanwhile, patience; for us there is nothing else appointed.--Tell me, however, what has become of your Book on England?
13660Never dream of such a thing nay, whom_ did_ you send?
13660Now 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?
13660Or is the case already irremediable?
13660Or possibly I do the poor man wrong by misremembrance?
13660Regrets for old days.--Not left town.--A new top story.--Miss Bacon, her Quixotic enterprise.--Clough.--Thackeray.--To Concord?
13660Shall I believe you, this time?
13660Tell me what is become of_ Frederic,_ for whose appearance I have watched every week for months?
13660The common impious vulgar of this earth, what has it to do with my life or me?
13660The man looks brilliant and noble to me; but how_ love_ him, or the sad wreck he lived and worked in?
13660This is the fact: what more can I say?
13660This war has been conducted over the heads of all the actors in it; and the foolish terrors,"What shall we do with the negro?"
13660To which the Mother will answer,"Thankee, young son, and you?"
13660Very well: could I help it?
13660Was I not once promised a visit?
13660Watchman, what sayest thou, then?
13660What are you doing?
13660What can I tell you better?
13660What do I care for his fame?
13660What have we to do with old age?
13660What news of Naseby and Worcester?
13660What to tell you of my coop and byre?
13660What would I not give for a head of Shakespeare by the same artist?
13660What, you scorn all this?
13660When shall I show him to you?
13660Where all writing is such a caricature of the subject, what signifies whether the form is a little more or less ornate and luxurious?
13660Who can say what he yet is and will be to me?
13660Who is he that can trust himself in the fray?
13660Who 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?
13660Why should I plague poor Clark with them, if it be any plague to him?
13660Why should I regret that I see you not, when you are forced thus intimately to discover yourself beyond the intimacy of conversation?
13660Will this do?
13660Will you come in Winter then, next Winter,--or when?
13660Will your next Letter tell us the_ when?_ O my Friend!
13660You are sending me a book, and Chapman''s Homer it is?
13660You promise us a new Book soon?
13660You remember Charles Buller, to whom I brought you over that night at the Barings''in Stanhope Street?
13660You 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?
13660and having kept us all murmuring at your satires and sharp homilies, will now melt us with this manly and heart- warming embrace?
13660and how the poor?
13660how the Colleges?
13660how the Lords?
13660how the Primate and Bishops of England?
13660how the rich?
13660of Demosthenes?
13660of Plato?
13660or is any competent hand engaged on it?
13660this with the announcement of the Title as given above?
13660why he does not_ give_ us that little Book on England he has promised so long?
31557Aha,say you,"and what is a Black Boy?"
31557And how did you know that crane to be a spirit?
31557And what is Devil- work?
31557But when,I asked,"shall we come to your coffee plantation?"
31557Captain, is it permitted to come on board?
31557Did he lose a ship of John Hart''s?
31557Did you ever see an evil spirit?
31557Do none of you smell flowers?
31557Do you know what the name of that spirit was? 31557 Do you like bathing?"
31557Do you like school?
31557Do you mean to refuse me what I ask?
31557Do you not know they are murdering your king?
31557Had you hidden a tapu?
31557How else can a man prove himself to be brave?
31557How is this?
31557How many pathom he high?
31557How much you got? 31557 How much you want?"
31557How on earth do you know that?
31557How shall I repay your great kindness to me? 31557 How?"
31557If a white chief came up here and smelt this, how would you feel?
31557In short, I am to look for no support, whether physical or moral?
31557Is that royal?
31557Is that true, George?
31557Is the island on the spree?
31557Like Mahinui?
31557My patha he tell me he see: you think he lie?
31557My patha he tell me,or"White man he tell me,"would be his constant beginning;"You think he lie?"
31557Now what is your motive in this?
31557Under what form?
31557What are you doing here?
31557What chief?
31557What did she say to you?
31557What do you want with a gun, Arick?
31557What have you in the canoe that I should smell carrion?
31557What is it?
31557What is that?
31557What is the matter with the man? 31557 Where are you going?"
31557Who asked the Great Powers to make laws for us; to bring strangers here to rule us?
31557Who is that man, father?
31557Who is that?
31557Why do they call themselves Mormons?
31557Why do you not go to help him?
31557Why do you not take these?
31557Why, what is the meaning of all this?
31557Will you be at school to- morrow?
31557Will you take a cigar?
31557With two husbands?
31557You are old,they argued;"soon you will die; what use will it be to you?"
31557You got copra, king?
31557You like some beer?

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

31557But to whom can we address ourselves?
31557But what had he to do with it?
31557But what were the Consuls doing in this matter of inland administration?
31557But which?
31557But why are these so different?
31557But why are they dead?
31557But why were they previously left in the dark?
31557But why( it will be asked) spin out by these excessive methods a thread of such tenuity?
31557By what criterion is the convert to distinguish the essential from the unessential?
31557By what powers of law was this result attained?
31557By what process known to diplomacy has he risen from his one- sixth part of municipal authority to be the Bismarck of a Polynesian island?
31557Did she understand?
31557Did they like it?
31557Do these unfortunates like the king?
31557Do you not hear something supernatural?"
31557Does it permit a state of society in which a citizen can live and act with confidence?
31557For do we not find, in the case of the municipal treasury, the same disquieting features?
31557For the poor treaty officials, what have they but rights very obscurely expressed and very weakly defended by their predecessors?
31557For why should a mere meteor frequent the altars of abominable gods?
31557Fresh points at once arise:"What are the Israelites?
31557He looked at the missionary, and what did he see?
31557He say chief:--''Chief, you like things of mine?

31557Him they approached with honeyed words and carneying manners--"You are So- and- so, son of So- and- so?"
31557How does their own poet sing?
31557How else could a man prove he was brave?
31557How if both were fathers, one natural, one adoptive?
31557How if the founder of the monarchy, while he worked for his brother, worked at the same time for the child of his loins?

31557I would not have taken copra in a gift: how to express that quality by my dinner- table bearing?
31557I wrote of Parker that he behaved like a boy of ten: what was he else, being a slave of sixty?
31557If he was with Malietoa''s men, which is the real gist of his offence, we who are not Germans may surely ask, Why not?
31557Is a father- in- law one of a man''s own family?
31557Is it a law at all?
31557Is this English law?
31557It 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?
31557It was surely fortunate that there was no one drunk; but, drunk or sober, where else would a scene so irritating have concluded without blows?
31557Kekela he say;''why you want?''
31557Meanwhile, the calf stood looking on, a little perplexed, and seemed to be saying:"Well, now, is this life?
31557Meanwhile, 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?
31557Now, do you remember Misifolo-- a tall, thin Hovea boy that came shortly before you left?
31557On what ground is Malietoa a rebel?
31557Or is not rather the repulsion mutual?
31557Should I not approach her on the still depending question of my rent?
31557So much was accomplished: what was to follow?
31557Something wrong?
31557Taipi might; he ought; it was a chief part of his duty; but would any one regard the inhibition of a Beggar on Horseback?
31557The Captain was got safe off the wicked horse, but how was he to get back again to Apia and the_ Alameda_?
31557They now face empty- handed the tedium of their uneventful days; and who shall pity them?
31557Uncle 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?
31557Was it Luheluhe?"
31557Was it not the same with unchastity, it may be asked?
31557Was not the Polynesian always unchaste?
31557What can they do?
31557What circumstance is common to them all, but that they lived on islands destitute, or very nearly so, of animal food?
31557What do the little girls in the cellar think that Austin does?

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

13583A sore calamity has fallen on us, or rather has fallen on my poor Wife( for what am I but like a spectator in comparison?
13583A_ disjectum membrum;_ cut off from relations with men?
13583After all, why should not Letters be on business too?
13583All the world cries out, Why_ do you_ publish with Fraser?
13583Always excepting my wonderful Professor, who among the living has thrown any memorable truths into circulation?
13583And can not you renew and confirm your suggestion touching your appearance in this continent?
13583And must not we say that Drunkenness is a virtue rather than that Cato has erred?
13583And now the Heterodox, the Heterodox, where is that?
13583And now why do not_ you_ write to me?
13583And now will you not tell me what you read and write?
13583And see Miss Martineau in the last_ Westminster Review:_--these things you are old enough to stand?
13583And then, How?
13583And what more can a man ask of his writing fellow- man?
13583And yet did ever wise and philanthropic author use so defying a diction?
13583And yet, as you will say, why not even of dollars?
13583Are all these things interesting to you?
13583As you know my whereabout, will you throw a little light on your own?
13583But after all, will it suit America to print an_ unequal_ number of your two pairs of volumes?
13583But has literature any parallel to the oddity of the vehicle chosen to convey this treasure?
13583But now first as to this question, What I mean?
13583But on the whole are we not the_ formalest_ people ever created under this Sun?
13583But the way to find that word?
13583But then where?
13583But what avail any commendations of the form, until I know that the man is alive and well?
13583But what makes the priest?
13583By the by, have you not learned to read German now?
13583By the bye, will you tell me some time or other in_ what_ American funds it is that your funded money, you once gave me note of, now lies?
13583Can they not see the necessity of your coming to look after your American interests?
13583Can you have the generosity to write,_ without_ an answer?
13583Can you not have some_ Sartors_ sent?
13583Can you tell me?
13583Carlyle to Emerson Chelsea, London, 13 April, 1839 My Dear Emerson,--Has anything gone wrong with you?
13583Could 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?
13583Could you send us out a part of your edition at American prices, and at the same time to your advantage?
13583Couldst not wait a little?
13583Did I tell you that we hope shortly to send you some American verses and prose of good intent?
13583Did he ever write to you?
13583Did the Upholsterer make this Universe?
13583Did you ever see such a vacant turnip- lantern as that Walsingham Goethe?
13583Did you not tell me, Mr. Thomas Carlyle, sitting upon one of your broad hills, that it was Jesus Christ built Dunscore Kirk yonder?
13583Do not the two together make one work?
13583Do you know English Puseyism?
13583Do you know what I think of doing with it?
13583Do 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?
13583Do you read German or not?
13583Do you read Landor, or know him, O seeing man?
13583Do you remember Fraser''s Magazine for October, 1832, and a Translation there, with Notes, of a thing called Goethe''s Mahrchen?
13583Emerson What manner of person is Heraud?
13583Far, far better seems to me the unpopularity of this Philosophical Poem( shall I call it?)
13583Fear not that!--Do you attend at all to this new_ Laudism_ of ours?
13583For the sake of America will she not try the trip to Leith again?
13583For which last Evangel, the confirmation and rehabilitation of all other Evangels whatsoever, how can I be too grateful?
13583Gustave d''Eichthal( did you hear?)
13583Has the heterodoxy arrived in Chelsea, and quite destroyed us even in the charity of our friend?
13583Has the_ Meister_ ever arrived?
13583Have I involved you in double postage by this loquacity?
13583Have you received a letter from me with a pamphlet sent in December?
13583How can I speak of them on a miserable scrap of blue paper?
13583How do I know what is good for_ you,_ what authentically makes your own heart glad to work in it?
13583How is it that you do not write to me?
13583How should he be so poor?
13583I 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?
13583I am weary of hearing it said,"We love the Americans,""We wish well,"& c.,& c. What in God''s name should we do else?
13583I ask constantly of all men whether life may not be poetic as well as stupid?
13583I declare, I am ashamed of my intolerance:--and yet you have ceased to be a Teacher of theirs, have you not?
13583I have seen some other Lions, and Lion''s-_providers;_ but consider them a worthless species.--When will you write, then?
13583I know not what he will make of it;-- perhaps wry faces at it?
13583I rejoice rather in my laziness; proving that I_ can_ sit.--But, after all, ought I not to be thankful?
13583I sometimes ask myself rather earnestly, What is the duty of a citizen?
13583I will not love them.--And yet, what am I saying?
13583If it be not His will,--then is it not better so?
13583If you in America wanted more also--?
13583In any case what signifies it much?
13583In this number what say you to the_ Elegy_ written by a youth who grew up in this town and lives near me,--Henry Thoreau?
13583Is he now a preacher?
13583Is it Cromwell still?
13583Is lecturing and noise the way to get at that?
13583Is not all that very morbid,--unworthy the children of Odin, not to speak of Luther, Knox, and the other Brave?
13583Is there, at bottom, in the world or out of it, anything one would like so well, with one''s whole heart_ well,_ as PEACE?
13583It seems then this Mahomet was not a quack?
13583John Sterling scolds and kisses it( as the manner of the man is), and concludes by inquiring, whether there is any procurable Likeness of Emerson?
13583Little and James Brown, 112 Washington St.), or is not this the right way?
13583May I not call it temporary?
13583Meanwhile, however, is it not pitiable?
13583Milnes did get your Letter: I told you?
13583More than one inquires of me, Has that Emerson of yours written nothing else?
13583My copy of the_ Oration_ has never come: how is this?
13583Norton* surely is a chimera; but what has the whole business they are jarring about become?
13583Now, what does your question point at in reference to your new edition, asking"if we want more"?
13583Or are you perhaps writing a Book?
13583Or do you ever mean to learn it?
13583Or perhaps it is not a whit worse; only rougher, more substantial; on the whole better?
13583Or the power( and thence the call) to teach man''s duties as they flow from the Superhuman?
13583Or who knows but Mahomet may go to the mountain?
13583Patience;--and yet who can be patient?
13583People cry over it:"Whitherward?
13583Perhaps in some late number of the_ Zeitgenossen_ there may be something?
13583Probably, there is no chance before the middle of March or so?
13583Read the article_ Simonides_ by him in the_ London and Westminster_--brilliant prose, translations-- wooden?
13583Says not the sarcasm,"Truth hath the plague in his house"?
13583Shall it be Switzerland, shall it be Scotland, nay, shall it be America and Concord?
13583Shall we have anthracite coal or wood in your chamber?
13583Suppose you and I promulgate a treatise next,"How to see"?
13583Tell 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?
13583Tell me whether you dislike it less; what you do think of it?
13583That he is a better Christian, with his"bastard Christianity,"than the most of us shovel- hatted?
13583That is the right way, is it not?
13583The Cat- Raphael?
13583The Printer is slack and lazy as Printers are; and you do not wish to write till you can send some news of him?
13583The cost of a copy in sheets or"folded"( if that means somewhat more?)
13583The second volume was just closing; shall it live for a third year?
13583The way to speak it when found?"
13583The"Lectures on the Times"are even now in progress?
13583Then again I think it is perhaps better so; who knows?
13583These voices of yours which I likened to unembodied souls, and censure sometimes for having no body,--how can they have a body?
13583They are delivering Orations about him, and emitting other kinds of froth,_ ut mos est._ What hurt can it do?
13583They are even of benefit?
13583They ask, What shall be done?
13583To 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?
13583To what use, surely?
13583Varnhagen 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?
13583Very saucy, was it not?
13583Were you created by the Tailor?
13583What am I to do?
13583What can we say in these cases?
13583What could Homer, Socrates, or St. Paul say that can not be said here?
13583What does he at Clifton?
13583What has life better to offer than such tidings?
13583What have you to do with Italy?
13583What help, O James?
13583What 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?
13583What news, my dear friend, from your study?
13583What she is to write I know not, except it be what she has said, holding up the pamphlet,"Is it not a noble thing?
13583What 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?
13583What, What?"
13583When will you come and redeem your pledge?
13583Wherefore, putting all things together, can not I feel that I have washed my hands of this business in a quite tolerable manner?
13583Why may you not give the reins to your wit, your pathos, your philosophy, and become that good despot which the virtuous orator is?
13583Why not you come over, since I can not?
13583Why will not this_ Appendix_ do, these_ Appendixes,_ to hang to the skirts of Volume Four as well?
13583Will it ever reach him?
13583Will not that do?
13583Will this_ Appendix_ do, then?
13583Will you say to him that he sent me some books two or three years ago without any account of prices annexed?
13583Yet I work better under this base necessity, and then I have a certain delight( base also?)
13583Yet how is it that I do not hear?
13583Yet 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?"
13583Yet perhaps it is the proper place after all, seeing all places are improper: who knows?
13583You can not believe it?
13583You of course read his sublime"article"?
13583You, 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?
13583and WHEREFORE?
13583and_ Mirabeau_ and_ Macaulay?_ Stearns Wheeler is very faithful in his loving labor,--has taken a world of pains with the sweetest smile.
13583canst thou not make a pulpit by simply_ inverting the nearest tub?_"yet, alas!
13583he has to fly again.--Did you get his letter?
13583in 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?
13583my horror of_ Lecturing_ continues great; and what else is there for me to do there?
13583or What is your American rule?
13583was it you that defalcated?
13583what designs ripened or executed?
13583what hopes?
13583what thoughts?
31809Captain Payn in the harbour?
31809Do you think it an unusually good guide- book?
31809John, do you see that bed of resignation?
31809Putis described quite differently from your version in a book I have; what are your rules?
31809This ship is on fire, I see that; but why a pantomime?
31809Var?
31809You do n''t look a strong man,said the doctor;"but are you sound?"
31809( 2) But what does she love me for?
31809( Why ca n''t I spell and write like an honest, sober, god- fearing litry gent?

3180911?
3180912)720(60 72 Is it possible?
31809All at once?
31809Also, could I have a look at Ewing''s_ précis_?
31809Also, do you remember my strong, old, rooted belief that I shall die by drowning?
31809Also, wherefore not a word, dear Colvin?
31809Am I very sorry?
31809Am I wrong?
31809And O, why have I allowed myself to rot so long on land?
31809And again:"to say all"?
31809And anyway, is not excitement the proper reward of doing anything both right and a little dangerous?
31809And can you believe that, though it is gaily expressed, the thought is hag and skeleton in every moment of vacuity or depression?
31809And do you never come east?
31809And how about me, sir, me?
31809And if I had?
31809And if he fails, why should I hear him weeping?
31809And if the thing you do is to call upon others to do the thing you neglect?
31809And if you are, why take a wilfully false hypothesis?
31809And is it not perhaps a mere folly to attempt, from so hopeless a distance, anything so delicate as a series of papers?
31809And now is this news, Cogia, or is it not?
31809And now to the main point: why do we not see you?
31809And now-- I wonder if I have not gone too far with the fantastic?
31809And that again brings back( almost with the voice of despair) my unanswerable: why is it false?
31809And that you would aiblins pay for me?
31809And who has not?
31809Are they fairly lively on the wires?
31809Are they wooden, and dim, and no sport?
31809Are we artists or city men?
31809Are you aware that the praiser of this"brave gymnasium"has not seen a canoe nor taken a long walk since''79?
31809Are you, too, not in the witness- box?
31809As for my seamen, did Runciman ever know eighteenth century Buccaneers?
31809As for not giving a reduction, what are we?
31809Besides, in this year of-- grace, said I?--of disgrace, who should creep so low as an Englishman?
31809But 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?
31809But the odd problem is: what makes a story true?
31809But to what end should we renew these sorrows?
31809But what is man?
31809But what of that?
31809But whaur?
31809But who is Miss Green?
31809But who was Miss Green?
31809But why has he read too much Arnold?
31809But why should I blame Gladstone, when I too am a Bourgeois?
31809But why should I gird at you or anybody, when the truth is we are the most miserable sinners in the world?
31809But why should you forget yourself and use these same italics as an index to my theology some pages further on?
31809By the way, have you seen James and me on the novel?
31809By the way, who wrote the_ Lion of the Nile_?
31809By why?
31809Can it be got and sent to me?
31809Can it be?
31809Can the elder hand_ beg_ more than once?
31809Can you help a man getting into his boots for such a huge campaign?
31809Cannae he no be made to understand that it''s beneath him?

31809Could you get any one to tell me particulars?
31809Could you send her this?
31809Dear Thomson, have I ony money?
31809Dear artist, can you do me that?
31809Did I ever tell you that the Admiral was recognised in America?
31809Did I tell you that S. C. had risen to the paper on James?
31809Did you ever read St. Augustine?
31809Did you see my sermon?
31809Did you see that I had written about John Todd?
31809Do n''t you like it?
31809Do ye no think Henley, or Pollick, or some o''they London fellies, micht mebbe perhaps find out for me?
31809Do you blench?
31809Do you ever read( to go miles off, indeed) the incredible Barbey d''Aurévilly?
31809Do you feel( you must) how strangely heavy and stupid I am?
31809Do you know our-- ahem!--fellow clubman, Colonel Majendie?
31809Do you know that Dew Smith has two photographs of him, neither very bad?
31809Do you know that_ Treasure Island_ has appeared?
31809Do you know what they called the_ Casco_ at Fakarava?
31809Do you not feel so?
31809Do you play All Fours?
31809Do you remember acting the Fair One with Golden Locks?
31809Do you remember making the whistle at Mount Chessie?
31809Do you remember, at Warriston, one autumn Sunday, when the beech nuts were on the ground, seeing heaven open?
31809Do you see the situation?
31809Do you think you are right to send_ Macaire_ and the_ Admiral_ about?
31809Does nature, even in my octogenarian carcase, run too strong that I must be still a bawler and a brawler and a treader upon corns?
31809Et vous, mon très cher ami?
31809Even 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?
31809Excellent, say you, but will you save and will you repay?
31809First, 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?
31809For then, what is life?
31809From your leads, do you behold St. Paul''s?
31809Had you not better send me the bargains to sign?
31809Has Davie never read_ Guy Mannering_,_ Rob Roy_, or_ The Antiquary_?
31809Has Hyde[35] turned upon me?
31809Has her house the proper terrace?
31809Have I at last got, like you, to the pitch of being attacked?
31809Have I fallen, like Danvers Carew?
31809Have I other means?
31809Have I yet asked you to despatch the books and papers left in your care to me at Apia, Samoa?
31809Have you a_ Tourgueneff_?
31809Have you heard that he became a stout, imperialist conservative?
31809Have you no rich Catholic friends who would send him an organ that he could play upon?
31809Have you observed that the famous problem of realism and idealism is one purely of detail?
31809Have you read Meredith''s_ Love in the Valley_?
31809Have you read_ Huckleberry Finn_?
31809Have you seen Hyde''s( Dr. not Mr.) letter about Damien?
31809Have you that fetish still?
31809Have you, like Pepys,"the right to fiddle"there?
31809Health?
31809Herewith I pause, for why should I cast pearls before swine?
31809Home no more home to me, whither must I wander?
31809Hoo mony pages will there be, think ye?
31809How about a law condemning the people of every country to be educated in another, to change sons in short?
31809How am I to vote?
31809How ape your agreeable frame of mind?
31809How are you?
31809How came it that you never communicated my rejection of Gilder''s offer for the Rhone?
31809How does your class get along?
31809How goes_ Keats_?
31809How has the_ Deacon_ gone?
31809How is Miss Boodle and her family?
31809How much do you make per annum, I wonder?
31809How should I come through?
31809Hudson, Mrs. Hudson, Rowland, O, all first- rate: Rowland a very fine fellow; Hudson as good as he can stick( did you know Hudson?
31809I am pained indeed, but how should I be offended?
31809I am pleased that Mr. Gilder should like my literature; and I ask you particularly to thank Mr. Bunner( have I the name right?)
31809I am still of the same mind five years later; did you observe that I had said"modern"authors?
31809I am trying to write out this haunting bodily sense of absence; besides, what else should I write of?
31809I 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?
31809I 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?
31809I did not answer your letter from the States, for what was I to say?
31809I 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?)
31809I do not say my attitude is noble; but is yours conciliatory?
31809I fear men who have no open faults; what do they conceal?
31809I have never dared to say what I feel about men''s lives, because my own was in the wrong: shall I dare to send them to death?
31809I like the first?
31809I mean if I fail, why should I weep?
31809I shall be off, I hope, in a week; but where?
31809I should say he would not use this privilege(?)
31809I 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?
31809I think the receipt of such a letter might humble, shall I say even----?
31809I 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?)
31809I 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?
31809I wonder how you liked the end of_ The Master_; that was the hardest job I ever had to do; did I do it?
31809I wonder if I anywhere misapprehended you?
31809I wonder if I have managed to give you any news this time, or whether the usual damn hangs over my letter?
31809I wonder if Trélat would let me cut?
31809I wonder if you saw me plunge, lance in rest, into a controversy thereanent?
31809I wonder if you saw my book of verses?
31809I wonder whether there are already enough, and whether you think that such a volume would be worth the publishing?
31809I wonder, has Omond?
31809If I ever write an account of this voyage, may I place this letter at the beginning?
31809If I were there I should grind knives or write blank verse, or---- But at least you do not bathe?
31809If it is, how can I help what is true?
31809If it might be-- could it not be smoothed?
31809If it was_ Captain Singleton_, send it to me, wo n''t you?
31809If not, what do you complain of?
31809If you have not got them, would you like me to write to Dew and ask him to give you proofs?
31809If you knew I was a chronic invalid, why say that my philosophy was unsuitable to such a case?
31809If you think it a dream, will Bain get me a second- hand copy, or who would?
31809In the matter of the dedication, are not cross dedications a little awkward?
31809Insatiable 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_?
31809Is it altogether your own?
31809Is it not angelic?
31809Is it not strange?
31809Is it on the proper side of the hospital?
31809Is it possible I have wounded you in some way?
31809Is it possible for a man in Samoa to be in touch with the great heart of the People?
31809Is it quite fair then to keep your face so steadily On my most light- hearted works, and then say I recognise no evil?
31809Is not this wonderful?
31809Is repentance, which God accepts, to have no avail with men?
31809Is that not pretty?
31809Is there any Greek Isle you would like to explore?
31809Is there no chance of your coming hereabouts?
31809Is there no word of it?
31809Is there not some escape, some furlough from the Moral Law, some holiday jaunt contrivable into a Better Land?
31809Is there one?
31809Is this all?
31809It 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?
31809It scarce seems life to me; what must it be to you?
31809It was strangely like old times to read the other; do n''t you remember the poisoning with mushrooms?
31809Je ne puis même pas m''exprimer en Anglais; comment voudriez vous que je le pourrais en Français?
31809Je regrette beaucoup le dédicace; peutêtre, quand vous viendrez nous voir, ne serait- il pas trop tard de l''ajouter?
31809Little?
31809Longman fetched by_ Otto_: is it a spoon or a spoilt horn?
31809Look at the names:"The Solitude"--is that romantic?
31809MY DEAR CHARLES,--Will you please send £ 20 to---- for a Christmas gift from----?
31809MY DEAR MISS FERRIER,--Are you really going to fail us?
31809Martha, Martha, do you hear the knocking at the door?
31809May I beg you, the next time_ Roderick_ is printed off, to go over the sheets of the last few chapters, and strike out"immense"and"tremendous"?
31809Millais( I hear) was painting Gladstone when the news came of Gordon''s death; Millais was much affected, and Gladstone said,"Why?
31809Must we likewise change religions?
31809My wife, hearing the order given about the boats, remarked to my mother,"Is n''t that nice?
31809Ninth Objection: But am I not taken with the hope of excitement?
31809No?
31809Now when the spring begins, you must lay in your flowers: how do you say about a potted hawthorn?
31809Now, look here, could you get me a loan of the Despatches, or is that a dream?
31809Of course, if I go in the_ Morning Star_, I see all the eastern( or western?)
31809Perhaps your daughter''s house has not a balcony at the back?
31809Preaching the dankest Grundyism and upholding the rank customs of our trade-- you who are so cruel hard upon the customs of the publishers?
31809Proavidence is a fine thing, but hoo would you like Proavidence to keep your till for ye?
31809Proavidence( I''m no''sayin'') is all verra weel_ in its place_; but if Proavidence has nae mainners, wha''s to learn''t?
31809Query two plates?
31809R. L. S. When will your holiday be?
31809Seraphina made a mistake about her Otto; it begins to swim before me dimly that you may have some traits of Seraphina?
31809Seriously, do you like to repose?
31809Shall I ever have money enough to write a play?
31809Shall I?
31809Shall we never shed blood?
31809Should we not gain all around?
31809Sixteen, you say?
31809So 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.?
31809Suppose that to be the case, will they be of any use to me in my place of exile?
31809Suppose they_ are_ wrong?
31809TO EDMUND GOSSE[_ Saranac Lake, March 31, 1888._] MY DEAR GOSSE,--Why so plaintive?
31809Take a larger view; what is a year or two?
31809Tenth Objection: But am I not taken with a notion of glory?
31809Thank you again: you can draw and yet you do not love the ugly: what are you doing in this age?
31809Thank you for it; my wife says,"Ca n''t I see him when we get back to London?"
31809That sounds rather lofty work, does it not?
31809That''s a good idea?
31809The lad?
31809The last is a great thing for life but-- query?--a bad endowment for art?
31809The palm- trees?--how is that for the gorgeous East?
31809The physician must heal himself; he must honestly_ try_ the path he recommends: if he does not even try, should he not be silent?
31809The reason of my_ dèche_?
31809The thermometer was nearly down to 50 ° the other day-- no temperature for me, Mr. James: how should I do in England?
31809The valet is no end; how long can you live on a valet?
31809The whole piece is marked allegro; but surely could easily be played too fast?
31809There are you; has the man no gratitude?
31809There has been offered for_ Treasure Island_--how much do you suppose?
31809There is Smeoroch[8]: is he blind?
31809This is a great order, is it not?
31809This is lightness of touch indeed; may I say, it is almost sharpness of practice?
31809To be idle at Dover is a strange pretension; pray, how do you warm yourself?
31809To which of these does B. J. refer?
31809To"say all"?
31809Was I well inspired?
31809Was she there in the summer of 1884?
31809We are like to be here, however, many a long week before we get away, and then whither?
31809We can not get any fruit here: can you manage to send me some grapes?
31809We should be paid if we give the pleasure we pretend to give; but why should we be honoured?
31809Well, am I not tolerated, are you not tolerated?--we and_ our_ faults?
31809Well, what can we do or say?
31809Well, what is the odds?
31809Well, what then?
31809Were they as tall as alps, if still unsavoury and bleak, what matters it?
31809Wha kens?
31809What are Cassells to do with this eccentric mass of blague and seriousness?
31809What are you about?
31809What can I say?
31809What do you do when people to whom you have been the dearest of friends requite you by acting like fiends?
31809What do you say, my dear critic?
31809What do you think this is?
31809What does it prove?
31809What is man''s chief end?
31809What is the reason?
31809What reasons can you gather from this example for your belief that Mr. S. is unable to write any other measure?"
31809What ship?"
31809What, it would not have been the same if Dumas or Musset had done it, would it not?
31809What, then, to do with them?
31809Whaur the devil did ye get thon about the soap?
31809When I saw you ten years ago, you looked rough and-- kind of stigmatised, a look of an embittered political shoemaker; where is it now?
31809When will this activity cease?
31809Where does he learn that?
31809Where has fleeting beauty led?
31809Where, then, is the ground of this horror in any intelligent Servant of Humanity?
31809Wherefore now Should Locker ask a verse from me?
31809Who would?
31809Why am I so penniless, ever, ever penniless, ever, ever penny- penny- penniless and dry?
31809Why did I hold my peace?
31809Why do people babble?
31809Why do we sneer at stockbrokers?
31809Why had Apollonius no pimples?
31809Why have I not written my_ Timon_?
31809Why not do something of the same kind for the"culchawed"?
31809Why should_ you_ hear_ me_?
31809Why throw cold water?
31809Why was I silent?
31809Why was Jenkin an amateur in my eyes?
31809Why will he avoid-- obviously avoid-- fine writing up to which he has led?
31809Why will people spring bills on you?
31809Why?
31809Will Cassell stand it?
31809Will the correspondents be more copious and less irrelevant in the future?
31809Will this beginner move in the inverse direction?
31809Will you oblige me by paying in for three articles, as already sent, to my account with John Paton& Co., 52 William Street?
31809Will you please send me the Greek water- carrier''s song?
31809Will you pray send us some?
31809Will you take this miserable scrap for what it is worth?
31809Will_ Treasure Island_ proofs be coming soon, think you?
31809With every good wish from me and mine( should I not say"she and hers"?)
31809Would I like to see the Scots Observer?
31809Would it bloom?
31809Would n''t I not?
31809Would not the Englishman unlearn hypocrisy?
31809Would not the Frenchman learn to put some heart into his friendships?
31809Would you be surprised to learn that I contemplate becoming a shipowner?
31809Yes, it is like old times to be writing you from the Riviera, and after all that has come and gone, who can predict anything?
31809Yet we see that he has left an influence; the memory of his patient courtesy has often checked me in rudeness; has it not you?
31809You can give me that much, can you not?
31809You may remember Walter had a romantic affection for all pharmacies?
31809You remember my lectures on Ajax, or the Unintentional Sin?
31809You say you are"a spoon- fed idiot"; but how about Lenz?
31809You see how this d-- d poeshie flows from me in sickness: Are they good or bad?
31809You 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[_ Campagne Defli, St. Marcel, January 1883._] MY DEAR MR. SYMONDS,--What must you think of us?
31809[_ Saranac Lake, February 1888?_] MY DEAR ARCHER,--It happened thus.
31809[_ Saranac Lake, Winter 1887- 88._] MY DEAR ARCHER,--What am I to say?
31809[_ Wensleydale, Bournemouth, October 1884?_] DEAR BOY,--I trust this finds you well; it leaves me so- so.
31809_ Apropos_ of old days, do you remember still the phrase we heard in Waterloo Place?
31809_ Bonallie Towers, Bournemouth[ December 1884?
31809_ Business._--Will you be likely to have a space in the Magazine for a serial story, which should be ready, I believe, by April, at latest by autumn?

31809_ Marseilles, June 1884._ DEAR S. C.,--Are these four in time?
31809_ N.B._--Where I have put an"A"is that a dominant eleventh, or what?
31809_ Saranac Lake, January''88._ DEAR CHARLES,--You are the flower of Doers.... Will my doer collaborate thus much in my new novel?

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

30714His brother was killed there,pursued Salé; and Belle, prompt as an echo,"Then there are no more of the family?
30714Is this the road across the island?
30714The coast is so rugged,said Salé.--"What?"

30714What do you want with a gun, Arick?
30714What that?

30714Why do you do that?
30714( 1) Will Mataafa surrender?
30714( 2) Will his people allow themselves to be disarmed?

30714A subject?
30714Adela, Adela, Adela Chart, What have you done to my elderly heart?
30714Aha, say you, and what is a black boy?
30714Also could any trace be found through Nether- Carsewell?
30714Am I beginning to be sucked in?
30714Am I right in thinking you were a shade bored over the last chapters?
30714And AM I HANGIT?
30714And I dare say the consuls say,"Why, then, does he write them?"
30714And I thought the French were a polite race?
30714And Old X----?
30714And first, how about blunders?
30714And hence, how to sugar?
30714And if I had done so, what would have been the result?
30714And if so, why is the lava sharp?
30714And rest?
30714And then the problem that Pinkerton laid down: why the artist can_ do nothing else_?
30714And then?
30714And was that last chapter worth the trouble it cost?
30714And who is the true champion of Samoa?
30714And why ca n''t R. L. S.?
30714And why did I read it to an end, W. E. G.?
30714And will you please to observe that almost all that is ugly is in the whites?
30714And without an opinion, how to string artistically vast accumulations of fact?
30714Apropos, 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?
30714Are you Great Eaters?
30714Are you a reader of Barbey d''Aurévilly?
30714Are you going to do it?
30714As he left I heard the villagers asking_ which was the great lady_?
30714As yet we have not had it at Vailima, and, who knows?
30714At 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?

30714Boys switched out of college into a pulpit, what chance have they?
30714But Marbot and Vitrolles are dead, and what has become of the living?
30714But could I, in my present disposition, do much more with it?
30714But did you ever hear of anything so tantalizing as for you to tell me the story and not send me your notes?
30714But in this out- of- the- way place, are these extreme experiments wise?
30714But then with what colour to relieve it?
30714But what are they made of?
30714But what did he want with me?
30714But what have you to do with this?
30714But what was his errand with me?
30714But what would it matter?
30714But what would the ex- Slade professor do about the letter Y?
30714But when or where to say so?
30714But which is it to be?
30714But why has it not come?
30714But will you not run dry of fairy stories?
30714By the by, did you ever play piquet?

30714He writes very prettily, and then afterwards?
30714Heads or tails?
30714Heard you ever of him?
30714Heavenly apologue, is it not?
30714Here is a long while I have been waiting for something_ good_ in art; and what have I seen?
30714Here, you boy, what you do there?
30714History for Children?
30714How about my old friend Fountainhall''s_ Decisions?_ I remember as a boy that there was some good reading there.
30714How can anybody care when or how I left Honolulu?

30714I always suspect_ you_ of a volume of sonnets up your sleeve; when is it coming down?
30714I 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?
30714I can not bear this suspense: what is it?
30714I do n''t think I ever saw this engraved; would it not, if you could get track of it, prove a taking embellishment?
30714I have not got beyond James Stevenson and Jean Keir his spouse, to whom Robert the First(?)
30714I have the old petty, personal view of honour?
30714I have_ carte blanche_, and say what I like; but does any single soul understand me?
30714I 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?
30714I 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?
30714I never could fathom why verse was put in magazines; it has something to do with the making- up, has it not?
30714I 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?
30714I pulled it off, of course, I won the wager, and it is pleasant while it lasts; but how long will it last?
30714I remember acknowledging with rapture_ The Lesson of the Master_, and I remember receiving_ Marbot_: was that our last relation?
30714I said,"all these villages and no landing- place?"
30714I say, have you ever read the_ Highland Widow_?
30714I see with some alarm the proposal to print_ Juvenilia_; does it not seem to you taking myself a little too much as Grandfather William?
30714I thought Bourget was a friend of yours?
30714I thought_ Aladdin_[37] capital fun; but why, in fortune, did he pretend it was moral at the end?

30714I wonder if you think as ill of mine as I do of yours?
30714I wonder if you think as well of your purple passages as I do of mine?
30714I wonder is there nothing that seems to prolong the series?
30714I, 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?

30714If that was Heaven, what, in the name of Davy Jones and the aboriginal night- mare, could Hell be?

30714Is this, then, a new_ drive_[83] among the monkeys?
30714It 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?
30714It is not all beer and skittles, is it?
30714It sounds cheering, does n''t it?
30714It was Kirriemuir, was it not?
30714It was about four, I suppose, that we met in the Lothian Road,--had we the price of two bitters between us?
30714It''s done, and of course it ai n''t worth while, and who cares?
30714It''s no forgery?
30714J. Horne Stevenson( do you know him?)
30714Jack saw it, and he was appalled; do you think he thought of shying?
30714Last, will it mark sufficiently that I mean my wife?
30714Lives of the Stevensons?
30714Looked at so, is it not, with all its tragic features, wonderfully idyllic, with great beauty of scene and circumstance?
30714Make another end to it?
30714May I tell the sister of my father?
30714Might I ask if you have any material to go upon?
30714My good man, is it three or five years that you have been to sea?"
30714O I know I have n''t told you about our_ aitu_, have I?
30714Of A----, B----, C----, D----, E----, F----, at all?
30714Of 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?
30714On Friday, Henry came and told us he must leave and go to"my poor old family in Savaii"; why?
30714On 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?"
30714On the return journey on Sunday, they were led by Austin playing(?)
30714On the way down Fanny said,"Now what would you do if you saw Colvin coming up?"
30714Or is it only afternoon tea?
30714Or suppose he took the other version, how would he meet the case, the two N.''s?
30714Or would that look like sham modesty, and is it better to bring out the three Roberts?
30714Or-- might Lieutenant G. be her tutor, and she fugitive to the Pringles, and on the discovery of her whereabouts hastily married?
30714Query, in a man who has been so much calumniated, is that not justifiable?

30714Samoa?
30714Shall I be suffered to embark?

30714So you think there is nothing better to be done with time than that?
30714So, at last, you are going into mission work?
30714Stevenson?"
30714Stevensons?
30714Surely you had not recognised the phrase about boodle?

30714TO SIDNEY COLVIN_ Saturday, 24th(?)
30714Talking of which, ai n''t it manners in France to acknowledge a dedication?
30714The thought began to haunt him, What if his power of earning were soon to cease?
30714Then he asked quickly,"Do I look strange?"
30714Then my wife asked him,"So you refuse to break bread?"
30714Then_ viator_( though it_ sounds_ all right) is doubtful; it has too much, perhaps, the sense of wayfarer?
30714They 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?"
30714This makes a cheery life after Samoa; but it is n''t what you call burning the candle at both ends, is it?
30714Those who had accompanied them cried to them on the streets as they were marched to prison,"Shall we rescue you?"
30714True; but why did he go?
30714Was it grateful?
30714Was it politic?
30714Well, suppose we call that cried off, and begin as before?
30714Well, then, what is curious?
30714Were they arrested?
30714What about my Grandfather?
30714What ails you, miserable man, to talk of saving material?

30714Why does n''t some young man take it up?
30714Why have I wasted the little time that is left with a sort of naked review article?
30714Why should I disguise it?

30714Why should they not then?
30714Why should you suppose your book will be slated because you have no friends?

30714Will you give my heartiest congratulations to Mr. Spender?
30714Will you kindly send an able- bodied reader to compulse the parish registers of Neilston, if they exist or go back as far?

30714Would you like me to introduce the old gentleman?
30714Yet who among you is so great as Tusitala?
30714You ask me in yours just received, what will become of us if it comes to a war?
30714You have reached a trifle wide perhaps; too_ many_ celebrities?
30714You know the vast cynicism of my view of affairs, and how readily and( as some people say) with how much gusto I take the darker view?
30714You mention the belated Barbeys; what about the equally belated Pineros?
30714You no get work?
30714You say carefully-- methought anxiously-- that I was no longer me when I grew up?
30714You would get the Atlantic and the Rocky Mountains, would you not?
30714Your three talents, Savaii, Upolu, and Tutuila?
30714Yours is a fine tool, and I see so well how to hold it; I wonder if you see how to hold mine?
