43119 | And all the men have gone down as usual this morning? |
43119 | And in the meantime you can wait; you are very happy, are you not? |
43119 | And it_ may_ come in at any moment? |
43119 | And my boy? |
43119 | And now, Gwladys,proceeded Gwen,"I mean to go to- morrow morning; and can you come with me, and can you show me the way?" |
43119 | And was it not infectious? |
43119 | And when we find Him? |
43119 | And who''s to brush h''out your yellow hair, my maid? 43119 And why not? |
43119 | And you were not frightened? |
43119 | And you''ll keep it a secret, and never let it out to mortal? |
43119 | Angry? 43119 But why? |
43119 | But you are getting up a lot of coal now out of the mine? |
43119 | But, Nan, Nan, suppose the water does burst in? |
43119 | But, perhaps-- perhaps,I murmured,"they are not all drowned; is there no place of escape in the mine?" |
43119 | Can you stay with me to- night? 43119 David,"I said suddenly,"you are not yourself, is anything wrong?" |
43119 | David,I said,"do you love God better than any one?" |
43119 | Dear mother, did you not hear him say so? |
43119 | Did Maggie die of the fever? |
43119 | Do you not know-- can you not guess? 43119 Do you want him so quickly? |
43119 | Does she know? |
43119 | Father, father,_ do_ you call Miles brave and noble now? |
43119 | For what? |
43119 | Gwen,I said,"what is it to be buried alive?" |
43119 | Gwen,_ do_ you know about Owen? |
43119 | Gwladys, I wish you would tell me about Amy? 43119 Gwladys, how old are you?" |
43119 | Gwladys, my maid,she said,"will you help your old nurse at a pinch?" |
43119 | Gwladys, why-- why do you say this? |
43119 | Gwladys, you have been keeping something from me; what is the matter, what is wrong? |
43119 | Had you any light? |
43119 | Has not David gone to look for Owen? |
43119 | Have they buried the baby yet? |
43119 | Have we not cause to praise the Lord? 43119 Have you? |
43119 | How can you say that? |
43119 | How do you know that your prayers are answered? |
43119 | How nice the old place looks? |
43119 | How old are you? 43119 How soon? |
43119 | How soon? 43119 I do n''t understand you, Gwen, what do you mean?" |
43119 | I''m sure that was true,I said,"that was very much what Miles said himself, do n''t you remember? |
43119 | I_ do_ love Him better than any one, Gwladys; but why do you ask? |
43119 | Is anything wrong with the mother? 43119 Is my mother up? |
43119 | Is my white dress ready? 43119 Is the mine dangerous?" |
43119 | May I sit here,pointing to a stone at the right side of the ruin,"may I sit here and think, and not speak to any one for half- an- hour?" |
43119 | No one is up but you? |
43119 | No, Gwen, what is it? |
43119 | No, I ai n''t,said Nan, gravely and solemnly,"it ai n''t years only as makes us babies or womans,''tis--""What?" |
43119 | Not my brother? |
43119 | Not my son? |
43119 | Now is n''t that wrong and faithless? |
43119 | Now, Gwladys, my maid, what is it? 43119 One moment,"he said;"do you love me well enough not to flatter me; well enough never to flatter me again; well enough to help me?" |
43119 | Or Owen? |
43119 | Owen, can you ever forgive me? 43119 Shall I sing a hymn? |
43119 | Shall I tell the lady about Stephie? 43119 Shall we sing` The Cross?''" |
43119 | Something you have been keeping from me? |
43119 | Tell me, dear, tell me all about it? |
43119 | The mine is all safe, there has been no accident? |
43119 | Then of course we must be rich before long? |
43119 | Then there can not be danger? |
43119 | Then why do n''t you ask to be forgiven now-- right away? |
43119 | Then, Nan, they may be out to- night? |
43119 | To live with us at Tynycymmer? |
43119 | We are going to be rich again, before long? |
43119 | We nearly missed the train this morning, and I have unfortunately failed to get reserved seats, but you do n''t mind a crowd? |
43119 | Well, my dear, what is it? |
43119 | Well, what is the story? 43119 Well, where''s the use of making a fuss about nothing?" |
43119 | Well? |
43119 | Well? |
43119 | What a splendid fellow he is? 43119 What did the Lord do for you, Nan?" |
43119 | What did you sing, Miles? |
43119 | What do I imagine him to be? |
43119 | What do I imagine? |
43119 | What do you know of the mine? 43119 What do you mean?" |
43119 | What do you mean? |
43119 | What does it mean? 43119 What is it? |
43119 | What is it? |
43119 | What is that? 43119 What is that?" |
43119 | What kind of voice had Madame Edith Wynne, mother, and did you hear Sims Reeves? |
43119 | What kind of woman was his wife? |
43119 | What was it? 43119 What was it?" |
43119 | What was it? |
43119 | What was it? |
43119 | What was the reason? |
43119 | What''s hard? 43119 What''s the cross you''ve got to bear? |
43119 | What''s this? |
43119 | What? |
43119 | What? |
43119 | What? |
43119 | What_ do_ you mean, now? |
43119 | When are you going down? |
43119 | Where have you been? 43119 Which? |
43119 | Which? |
43119 | Who is Miles Thomas? |
43119 | Why did you hesitate? 43119 Why not, when I ask you? |
43119 | Why? 43119 Why?" |
43119 | Will the mine then be safe''n a year? |
43119 | Yes, that I will, Gwen,I replied, heartily;"what is it you want me to do?" |
43119 | Yes, why not? |
43119 | You are going away from Tynycymmer? |
43119 | You are not afraid to go down into the mine? |
43119 | You did not think you were so long in the stall? |
43119 | You said last night you were tired of Tynycymmer? |
43119 | You want the lads home first? |
43119 | You would never be angry with God whatever He did? |
43119 | ` And_ you_ are willing to give up your child for that?'' 43119 All this adds to our money, Owen; is it right that we should grow rich in that way? |
43119 | And I-- had I, too, got back my Owen? |
43119 | And he looked at''er amost scornful, for h''all he loved her so; and he said,` Does_ thee_ tell me to forsake the little sickly lad?'' |
43119 | And of what had I not accused him? |
43119 | Are n''t you dreadfully tired? |
43119 | As this was so, why should I pray to Him? |
43119 | But I ask you one question, Is it right that we should have this money at the risk of the colliers''lives? |
43119 | But was it not possible, in the airs which life played, she might leave this harsh note unsounded? |
43119 | But why do I speak of myself? |
43119 | But_ why_ is Owen away? |
43119 | Can I ever forget that day? |
43119 | Could it be the case? |
43119 | Could they be true? |
43119 | David, you wo n''t be hard on him-- you will--""How can you ask me, mother? |
43119 | Did Owen put the wicked bull in the field? |
43119 | Did Owen take the child to the eye- well? |
43119 | Did the Bishop preach? |
43119 | Did you catch the first train this morning? |
43119 | Do n''t it look, Gwladys, something like the coming home again of the prodigal?" |
43119 | Do you not love him?" |
43119 | Does n''t your head ache? |
43119 | God grant it, lady; yes, there are rises and levels, they may have got into them, but how are they to be got out? |
43119 | Gwen,"in a tone of some alarm,"what are you keeping back from me? |
43119 | Gwen-- what?" |
43119 | Gwladys, ai n''t the Lord good to the little''uns?" |
43119 | Gwladys,"starting upright,"do you want to put me on the rack? |
43119 | Had my love for Owen really died? |
43119 | Had you ceased to love me?" |
43119 | Has n''t we the surface of the earth, green and pleasant, without going down into its bowels; but there, Gwladys, shall I finish the dream?" |
43119 | Have you no idea where he is?" |
43119 | His first question when we got back, and mother raised her white, agitated face to his, was--"Where is Owen? |
43119 | How can you say such things of your brother?" |
43119 | How could I go to Him in my misery? |
43119 | How could you leave Tynycymmer? |
43119 | How did he bear the terrible news? |
43119 | How had I treated him-- with any true love, with any real sympathy? |
43119 | I am bitterly cold; and could you get me something to eat?" |
43119 | I did want to kiss Nan, and father once, but Mr Morgan--""Well, what about Mr Morgan?" |
43119 | I exclaimed, when I could find my voice,"is it true? |
43119 | I looked at my watch again, the time had nearly come for me to tell him; was he not himself making it easy? |
43119 | I never connected disgrace and Owen; how could I? |
43119 | I said;"do tell me about it; and who is Stephie? |
43119 | I should like it; but can we not get back to Ffynon to- night?" |
43119 | I stood by the woman, looked hard into her eyes, and said,"Well?" |
43119 | I want you tell me all you know about the mine; and, first, has my brother come up?" |
43119 | I was one of many suffering women at Ffynon? |
43119 | I''ll be lonesome, but what of that?" |
43119 | In God''s sight, was he the worst? |
43119 | In a few days what had not befallen us? |
43119 | In this particular instance might I not have reminded him of the old shaft, and so have saved little David''s life? |
43119 | In whom should I confide? |
43119 | Is it any wonder I should tell you I have been mad?" |
43119 | Is it possible that they''ll all be saved? |
43119 | Is n''t David awfully cut up about it? |
43119 | Is not David master here? |
43119 | Is the baby dead?" |
43119 | Is the music ringing in your ears? |
43119 | It takes a long time for a young face like mine to show signs of grief; but would not my voice shake? |
43119 | Meanwhile, as day after day went by, each day filled with more of despair, and less of hope, what had become of Owen? |
43119 | Mother and Owen quite well?" |
43119 | Mother, I will tell David, only I may tell him in my own way, may I not?" |
43119 | Nan, is it possible? |
43119 | No, Owen had not returned perfect, but was I perfect? |
43119 | Now, are you coming to live here? |
43119 | Now, for the first time, I had to face the question,"How shall I tell him?" |
43119 | Of course, I do n''t_ quite_ believe in the eye- well as much as you do, but still, who knows?" |
43119 | On the contrary, had I not weakened them? |
43119 | One evening I said to David--"` David, can you forgive me?'' |
43119 | Shall I ever forget the spot where I stood and listened to it? |
43119 | Shall I go to her and find out if she can come with us?" |
43119 | Should we know our darling? |
43119 | Still, why did not David return? |
43119 | The question now was, which did he care most for, the gold he would win from the mine, or the safety he would secure for the people? |
43119 | Then I ventured to put the question which was hanging on the top of my lips--"What was his sin?" |
43119 | There is a lion in my path at this juncture, how shall I overcome him?" |
43119 | This should be my task; how could I accomplish it? |
43119 | WHY DID YOU HESITATE? |
43119 | Was I heartless? |
43119 | Was he not my hero, my darling? |
43119 | Was she worthy of that noble fellow?" |
43119 | Well, my daughter, you do n''t want me to treat you like a child-- do you?" |
43119 | Were there crowds of people? |
43119 | What did it mean? |
43119 | What did not a change, even from one end of Glamorgan to another, mean to me? |
43119 | What had I thought, hitherto, of Jesus Christ? |
43119 | What had we done that He should crush us to the earth? |
43119 | What if little David was took with the croup, and me to lose my senses; and what could the Squire do? |
43119 | What is it to be buried alive?" |
43119 | What is wrong? |
43119 | What was it Owen did, Gwen,--what was his sin?" |
43119 | What was it like, was it glorious? |
43119 | What was to be done? |
43119 | What would he think of me? |
43119 | Why do I say, I, I? |
43119 | Why not? |
43119 | Why should not I too enjoy this season of serenity and bliss? |
43119 | Why should you know? |
43119 | Why so? |
43119 | Why was my heart thus hard and unforgiving? |
43119 | Why, wot was mines invented for? |
43119 | Will he ever be that?" |
43119 | Will you never understand what I feel for Owen?" |
43119 | Would I? |
43119 | Would mother have sat alone then in her velvet and lace to meet the returning hero? |
43119 | Would not my voice, choked and constrained from long silence, betray me? |
43119 | Yes, David, go on, tell me quickly, what did my darling do?" |
43119 | You are sure he has gone to look for him?" |
43119 | You were much better after your dream, were you not? |
43119 | _ As he was_--what was he now? |
43119 | _ Have_ you come to live with us? |
43119 | _ did_ you get a new fashion for my blue silk gown?" |
43119 | and do not he and mother love every stone in the old house, every tree in the old ground? |
43119 | and is it right that the timber supports should be made thinner than is safe? |
43119 | and who''s to make things comfort for my mistress? |
43119 | could the gossip the girl had heard be correct? |
43119 | dear me, Gwen, what is that?" |
43119 | dear,"added the small thing, with her heavy old world sigh,"ai n''t it a weary world, Miss Morgan?" |
43119 | does not the place belong to David, as it did to his father before him? |
43119 | had my hero returned? |
43119 | has he not brought this trouble upon you?" |
43119 | has not Squire Morgan sacrificed his life for you to- day?" |
43119 | have we not hope that the prayer that has gone up earnestly has been answered abundantly? |
43119 | have you come to stay? |
43119 | however are they to be got at? |
43119 | is David ill?" |
43119 | is it right, in order that we should have a little more gold, that the coal pillars should be cut away, until the roofs are in danger of falling? |
43119 | my God, there is nothing wrong with the little lad?" |
43119 | my maid; what''s the trouble?" |
43119 | said David, looking at me affectionately,"are you very glad to come to the Messiah with me? |
43119 | was the laurel- crowned coming back with his long tale of glorious victories? |
43119 | was this my brother, once dead to me, now alive again? |
43119 | we asked breathlessly,"who were the doomed ones?" |
43119 | what would I_ not_ have done to- day? |
43119 | what? |
43119 | where and how is Gwen?" |
43119 | who has been telling you such lies?" |
43119 | would not the idea, the most distant idea, of going away break their hearts?" |
43119 | yes; does it not? |
18832 | After the admiration of the work comes the reward to the author; does it not, madame? |
18832 | And instead of taking a much needed rest at night, you watch over your godmother? |
18832 | And now that I am here, may I inquire what your wishes are? |
18832 | And the school is under the direction of M. Louis Richard''s wife?'' 18832 And then?" |
18832 | And what has become of that pretty blue victoria, with the dapple grays, you placed at our disposal yesterday morning? |
18832 | And what kind of a man is he? |
18832 | And what name shall I sign? |
18832 | And when she is dead, you will provide for me, I suppose? |
18832 | And where are those two ten- sous pieces?--Will you answer me? |
18832 | And who is this worthy man, in whose name these young girls are so generously dowered? |
18832 | And why does this Père Richard do so much good after his death? |
18832 | And why, pray? |
18832 | And you hoped to find me dead on your return, eh? |
18832 | Are you really in earnest? 18832 At the_ Pont au Change_--Are you a stranger in Paris?" |
18832 | But can you tell me the time? |
18832 | But did you receive my letter at Dreux? |
18832 | But what did she have to confess? |
18832 | But what in the deuce have you to announce? 18832 But what was your purpose?" |
18832 | But why do you call it the_ six marriages_? |
18832 | But why should he name it_ Saint- Ramon_? |
18832 | But, godmother, that money--"Well, what about that money? |
18832 | But, madame,remonstrated the maid,"if you dislike him so, why do you marry him?" |
18832 | But, monsieur, what does the letter contain? |
18832 | Can you not write? |
18832 | Certainly, my young friend, but--"Can you explain, monsieur, how the name and address of Mademoiselle Mariette Moreau came to be scribbled on it? |
18832 | Chemises worth three hundred francs apiece, ordered from Madame Jourdan? 18832 Could I better prove my interest in him?" |
18832 | Did he say anything? |
18832 | Did n''t you tell him that my god- mother was ill and could see no one? |
18832 | Did she tell you so? |
18832 | Did the gentleman leave any other message? |
18832 | Did your father leave you many of these pretty coins, Monsieur Louis? |
18832 | Do I look like a swindler; a_ Robert Macaire_? |
18832 | Do n''t you know? |
18832 | Do you believe me capable of discounting my father''s death? |
18832 | Do you imagine I would sell myself for money? |
18832 | Do you know his name? |
18832 | Do you know that more than a hundred and fifty persons assembled here owe everything to the good old man? |
18832 | Do you know what I think when I get over my bad humor? |
18832 | Do you see that portrait, Juliette? |
18832 | Do you think I can now blame his avarice? |
18832 | Do you want to kill her on the spot? |
18832 | Do you wish me to draw up a petition, a request, or write a letter? |
18832 | Does M. Richard reside here? |
18832 | Does madame like the diadem as it is now? |
18832 | Foedora,repeated her aunt, tugging gently at her sleeve,"what are you dreaming about?" |
18832 | Forget him?'' |
18832 | Had I acted differently, what would have been the result? 18832 Has M. Louis''family consented to the marriage?" |
18832 | Has madame forgotten that her marriage takes place a week from to- day? |
18832 | Has madame given her orders for the twentieth of the month? |
18832 | Has my father returned? |
18832 | Have I the honor of addressing Monsieur Louis Richard? |
18832 | Have you already forgotten what you wrote, Louis? 18832 Have you heard of the terrible accident on the Versailles road?" |
18832 | He, your friend? |
18832 | His name is Jerome Porquin, my dear Louis,sneered Saint- Herem,"and it seems admirably chosen, does it not?" |
18832 | How did she lose that hand? |
18832 | How is it that the contrary was told Mariette? |
18832 | How is that, Michel? |
18832 | How much do I owe you, monsieur? |
18832 | How then can you expect that a miser should have the courage or will to release his hold on such a talisman? 18832 I admit that prodigality is the usual dispenser of these long- hoarded treasures; but where do you see philanthropy in that?" |
18832 | I am glad to hear it, my boy, and-- but will you have some dinner? 18832 I am sorry to disturb you at such a time, Monsieur Louis,"said the concierge timidly,"but the coachman--""What coachman?" |
18832 | I believe you also approve me for inviting him, as well as many of his colleagues, to the inauguration of their united work? |
18832 | I can not understand how this letter could have produced such a sad effect on you? |
18832 | I have the most brilliant acquaintances in Paris: dukes, counts, marquises--"What''s that to me? |
18832 | I may count on you then? |
18832 | I regret my inability to return the compliment; but why should it matter to me whether he thinks well or ill of me? |
18832 | I shall be there at midnight-- and what shall I learn? 18832 I therefore found frequent occasion to admire you god- daughter; I think her beautiful and charming, and--""And you want to buy her from me?" |
18832 | I want to speak to the son, M. Louis Richard; is he at home? |
18832 | I wonder what he thinks of my son? 18832 I!--your client? |
18832 | Is it a dream? 18832 Is it a dream?" |
18832 | Is it from the provinces? |
18832 | Is my uncle in Paris? |
18832 | Is she a cripple? |
18832 | Is that really what the letter says? |
18832 | Is the princess in the drawing- room? |
18832 | Is this a jest, monsieur? |
18832 | Is this all, my child? |
18832 | It must be given him to- morrow morning as he goes out, and without his father''s knowledge; do you understand? |
18832 | Know what? |
18832 | Louis, can you really answer thus, when I appeal to your affection for me? |
18832 | Madame Justin,she said to the woman, who stood on the threshold,"have you been up to see if my godmother wanted anything?" |
18832 | Made someone else write? |
18832 | Mariette only? |
18832 | Monsieur de Saint- Herem,she said, still hesitatingly,"you have been very indulgent to me-- will you allow me one more question?" |
18832 | Monsieur means that large mansion which has been in course of construction for so many years? |
18832 | My dear Foedora, what are you thinking about? |
18832 | My dear aunt,she said sweetly,"will you be kind enough to examine the carriage well?" |
18832 | My dear duke, do you know the habits of the bees? |
18832 | My dear fellow, who would appreciate the excellence of arms, if not the warrior? 18832 My father, rely on--""On you? |
18832 | My letter?--what letter? |
18832 | Only son of M. Richard, public scribe? |
18832 | Porquin?--nonsense; what makes you imagine such an absurdity? |
18832 | Positively refuse? |
18832 | Really? |
18832 | Robbed? |
18832 | Shall I get you some fresh eggs? |
18832 | Shall I warm up your milk? |
18832 | Should we have become better? 18832 So he is a miser? |
18832 | So you are Louis Richard? |
18832 | Thank heaven?--can it be that you were lonely at Dreux? |
18832 | Thank you, monsieur,rejoined the man, pocketing the money;"but what do you expect me to do for it?" |
18832 | The miser''s disinterestedness? 18832 Then why in the deuce do you hire cabs by the hour and in the night, too, besides promising twenty extra francs for speed? |
18832 | Then--"Go on, madame,"I can not understand why--"Why do you hesitate? 18832 This agglomeration of the masses is stifling; and though the apartments are spacious--""Foedora, are you ill?" |
18832 | To me? |
18832 | To me?--Louis Richard? |
18832 | To whom does it belong? |
18832 | Torture? |
18832 | Truly? |
18832 | Very well!--You believe your father to be almost in want, do you not? |
18832 | Was he young or old? |
18832 | Was not his only aim to enrich me, to place me in a position to gain more wealth, or to make a generous use of the possessions he left me? 18832 Well, then?" |
18832 | Well, what did they do? |
18832 | Well, what has happened? |
18832 | Well? |
18832 | What an amusing story we shall have to relate at the embassy!--but, my dear Foedora, why do n''t you answer?--what ails you? |
18832 | What are you doing? |
18832 | What can you have against that poor man? |
18832 | What cousin? |
18832 | What do you mean, godmother? |
18832 | What do you mean? |
18832 | What do you mean? |
18832 | What do you mean? |
18832 | What do you mean? |
18832 | What do you mean? |
18832 | What do you want? |
18832 | What else can it be, to inhabit a large dilapidated house, so empty, so cold and gloomy, that a tomb would be a cheerful dwelling in comparison? 18832 What gentleman?" |
18832 | What happened her? |
18832 | What has happened? 18832 What idea, godmother?" |
18832 | What is it, my child? |
18832 | What is it, my dear duke? |
18832 | What is it? |
18832 | What is it? |
18832 | What is it? |
18832 | What is it? |
18832 | What is it? |
18832 | What is it? |
18832 | What kind of a man must this M. Ramon be, that you were so displeased? |
18832 | What orders? |
18832 | What will you do now? 18832 What will you eat, Mariette?" |
18832 | What will you, madame? 18832 What will you? |
18832 | What will you? 18832 What would you ask, monsieur?" |
18832 | What? |
18832 | When all these sad formalities have been gone through, can I dispose of my father''s possessions? |
18832 | Where am I? |
18832 | Where do I see it? 18832 Where have you been?" |
18832 | Where is my bouquet? |
18832 | Where would I find the time, monsieur? 18832 Which was that?" |
18832 | Who has not heard of the most famous gourmand the world has ever known? |
18832 | Who is Madame Lacombe? |
18832 | Who is to be married at this odd hour? |
18832 | Who read it for you, Mariette? |
18832 | Who would care for her if I did not? |
18832 | Whose eyes? |
18832 | Why are these grounds so brilliantly illuminated? |
18832 | Why do you come in without rapping at the door?--I do n''t know you!--who are you? |
18832 | Why not try to place her in the hospital? |
18832 | Why not? |
18832 | Why should I try to deceive you? 18832 Why should you have felt any embarrassment, my child? |
18832 | Why should you preserve these fragments, which can only recall cruel souvenirs? |
18832 | Why this embarrassment, my dear child? |
18832 | Why-- this is not your carriage? |
18832 | Why? |
18832 | Why? |
18832 | Will I have some dinner? 18832 Will it be sufficient?" |
18832 | Will you ever get done? 18832 Will you have some rice?" |
18832 | With two or three millions? |
18832 | With what object? |
18832 | Yes, all this gold; do you hear? 18832 Yes, what then?" |
18832 | Yes-- that''s it, madame,responded Mariette, passing her hand over her brow,"but where am I?" |
18832 | Yet, madame, a few moments ago you were happy to meet the great artist who designed the dome you so much admired, were you not? |
18832 | You accept, then? |
18832 | You alone, then, contribute to her support? |
18832 | You also spoke of another institution? |
18832 | You are absurdly severe toward M. de Riancourt-- what can you be thinking of? |
18832 | You court her? |
18832 | You do n''t mean it? |
18832 | You have a rival? |
18832 | You know Mademoiselle Mariette then? |
18832 | You know Mariette, then? |
18832 | You leave this enchanted palace without regret, without even a sigh, and at the very moment when you would have enjoyed it? |
18832 | You make that offer to me? |
18832 | You may perhaps be able to explain how the idea of this jest-- which, by the way, I should call a base calumny-- entered your head? |
18832 | You must be jesting, monsieur? |
18832 | You must think no more of your marriage--"Does M. Louis write that? |
18832 | You were absent several days, and have not seen Mariette since your return? |
18832 | You, my father? |
18832 | Your key, Mademoiselle Mariette? |
18832 | ''What were these projects?'' |
18832 | A bitter smile flitted over the girl''s lips; but she passed this new sarcasm unnoticed and said gently:"Shall I put fresh bandages on your arm?" |
18832 | Allow me one question: You have just returned from a journey?" |
18832 | And can it be the heir of this miser, the dispenser of his wealth, who rehabilitates him thus? |
18832 | And does not this gold shower spring from that magical reservoir so slowly and perseveringly filled by the miser? |
18832 | And from whom?" |
18832 | And if Mariette were destined to end like them-- would it not be better to yield now?" |
18832 | And is it not for him,_ for him only_, that I hoard up these treasures? |
18832 | And is not a power a great passion that will lead to such renunciation? |
18832 | And really, can there exist a more charming pretext for magnificence? |
18832 | And then how should we live?" |
18832 | And then?" |
18832 | And what is there so strange about it?" |
18832 | And why are these workmen invited to this inauguration? |
18832 | And you call that a happy day? |
18832 | Are you unhappy?--and why, pray?" |
18832 | Besides, if you refuse, do you know what will happen? |
18832 | Besides, is not my son happy as he is? |
18832 | But tell me what has happened? |
18832 | But then, it is all your own fault; how is it that you, the personification of exactitude, did not proclaim the hour of eleven long ago?" |
18832 | But what will you do with the rest of the inheritance?" |
18832 | But who are you, monsieur?" |
18832 | But why are you weeping?" |
18832 | But why did you not try to gain some education when you had finished your apprenticeship?" |
18832 | But why not have an explanation with her?" |
18832 | But why the word_ saint_ prefixed to his name? |
18832 | But why this gloom and silence? |
18832 | But, in that case, why should this stranger request an interview? |
18832 | But-- but-- may not one be dazzled by the sun while gazing at a charming flower?" |
18832 | Did not the good action give you satisfaction and make you happy for the day?" |
18832 | Did this short, urgent letter announce good or bad news? |
18832 | Do you believe in his military title, his cross, his campaigns, his wounds, his duels, and his sonorous name of de La Miraudière?" |
18832 | Do you call that a crime? |
18832 | Do you require securities or advances? |
18832 | Does n''t it make you feel like bursting with pride, Mamma Lacombe?" |
18832 | Fearing he had needlessly humiliated his client, the old man hastened to add:"Poor child, do you suppose me capable of blaming your ignorance?" |
18832 | Florestan, what strange things happen in this world--""What do you mean?" |
18832 | He must be rich then?" |
18832 | He paused for a moment, then asked with renewed interest:"You speak of your godmother; have you no other relative?" |
18832 | How else was he to explain Mariette''s relations with a young and handsome young man? |
18832 | How much is it worth?" |
18832 | I hope you feel less embarrassment now than when you entered?" |
18832 | Is it my fault if I am a cripple? |
18832 | Is it not just that I should now care for her?" |
18832 | Is it not just that the skillful and obscure man who chiseled the golden cup should moisten his lips in it, once, at least, in his life?" |
18832 | Is not abnegation one of the greatest virtues known?" |
18832 | Is this the new proof of love that you ask?" |
18832 | It is very painful, is it not?" |
18832 | It is you, madame, who shall be the divinity of this temple; for you shall purchase it, will you not? |
18832 | Lacombe,"but what about me?" |
18832 | Moreover, do I not share your privations? |
18832 | Now what do you want of me? |
18832 | Now, Louis, is not my comparison good? |
18832 | Now, for instance, take this moment--""Well, what of it?" |
18832 | Now, my dear father, have you ever seen me gloomy or thoughtful? |
18832 | Now, my worthy commander, will you do me the pleasure to speak the truth? |
18832 | Now, young man, was I presumptuous in affecting providential airs toward you? |
18832 | Only tell me how?" |
18832 | Porquin?" |
18832 | Really, Katinka, you are more inquisitive than I am; does one ever know why one marries?" |
18832 | Shall I, yes or no, re- pocket these beautiful louis, which you take so much pleasure in handling?" |
18832 | So if I should receive a letter from M. Louis, would you have the goodness to read it for me? |
18832 | Take a dry, sterile land, and dig a well into it; what happens? |
18832 | Tell me the truth-- have you-- have you always been happy?" |
18832 | The excellence of a horse, if not the cavalier? |
18832 | The excellence of a lute, if not the player? |
18832 | Then seeing Louis take up his hat, he asked anxiously:"Where are you going?" |
18832 | Then turning to the patient, he added kindly:"Do you feel stronger now?" |
18832 | Then, as her eyes fell on the inscription below, she added with increased astonishment:"Saint- Ramon?--Who is he?" |
18832 | There, do n''t blush, my child-- I suppose you will marry some day?" |
18832 | This equipage was so elegant and rich that it attracted general attention-- and who do you suppose was seated in that carriage? |
18832 | Two hundred louis ought to cover the debts of a notary clerk--- come, must you have more? |
18832 | Was it fatigue or weakness that caused your swoon?" |
18832 | Was it not he who gave our French Raphael the subject of one of his immortal pages? |
18832 | Well, what of it? |
18832 | What do you mean to do?" |
18832 | What do you think of it?" |
18832 | What good is a fortune now, when my only desire was to share it with Mariette?" |
18832 | What had become of my wealth? |
18832 | What is it? |
18832 | What is it?" |
18832 | What more can be desired in the mother of a family?" |
18832 | What will become of me, then? |
18832 | Who are all these people? |
18832 | Who can paint those affectionate embraces, those tender words that come from the heart and throw the soul into an ecstacy of bliss? |
18832 | Why do n''t you answer me? |
18832 | Why that aureole around his brow? |
18832 | Why this hesitation and embarrassment on your part, my dear Louis?" |
18832 | Why this mystic appearance? |
18832 | Will you merely state what you wish to write, or do you prefer to dictate to me?" |
18832 | Work, with an income of over a hundred thousand livres?" |
18832 | Would he not be the pride of the proudest of fathers? |
18832 | Would you believe, madame, that my reputation for liberality had spread over Europe? |
18832 | You are, no doubt, just recovering from a serious illness?" |
18832 | after so much joy and happiness? |
18832 | and then, after all, what more could we want?" |
18832 | can it be true?" |
18832 | can you doubt my answer for a moment? |
18832 | do I look like a discontented person?" |
18832 | do you call it no advantage to live in his house without spending a sou? |
18832 | do you call that a daughter?" |
18832 | do you hear me?" |
18832 | do you not share it with me? |
18832 | do you really mean to keep me with you?" |
18832 | do you take her for a monster?" |
18832 | do you take this fellow seriously, my good Louis? |
18832 | echoed the countess, absent- mindedly, giving another glance at the mirror;"why do I marry M. de Riancourt? |
18832 | for one project, one realized dream, would I sacrifice a thousand projects, a thousand realizable dreams? |
18832 | godmother, do you still doubt us?" |
18832 | godmother, why should you distrust Louis so?" |
18832 | he repeated in dismay,"and what matters it to me whether Mademoiselle Ramon is or is not fitted to become a good mother?" |
18832 | how pale you are-- are you ill?" |
18832 | madame, can you believe he would economize to that point?" |
18832 | my God!--""What is it?" |
18832 | was it not prepaid? |
18832 | what are you doing?" |
18832 | what do you say to that?" |
18832 | what do you take me for?" |
18832 | what has happened?" |
18832 | what use had it been put to? |
18832 | you refuse?" |
11556 | A madman, sir? 11556 A submarine boat?" |
11556 | All right, Spade? |
11556 | And Thomas Roch? |
11556 | And has Thomas Roch also sold you the secret of his deflagrator? |
11556 | And who are the persons who have thus disappeared from Healthful House? |
11556 | At what depth are we now? |
11556 | Both of them? |
11556 | But are you not afraid he may give his secret away? |
11556 | But if Ker Karraje''s secrets are known, do you suppose the powers are not also aware of the existence of the Count d''Artigas''submarine boat? |
11556 | But what about our expeditions at sea? |
11556 | But will there not be a great and ever- impending danger in accumulating large quantities of it? 11556 But,"asked the Count,"is Thomas Roch never left alone?" |
11556 | By the entrance gate? |
11556 | By what right, sir? |
11556 | Could n''t he at least pay some attention to us? |
11556 | Could n''t you, Gaydon, get him to talk about his fulgurator? |
11556 | Do these fits to which Thomas Roch is subject last long? |
11556 | Does n''t anybody know about it up at Healthful House? 11556 Gaydon,"demanded the director,"where is Thomas Roch?" |
11556 | Has Back Cup been attacked? |
11556 | Has Thomas Roch,I ask,"made you acquainted with the composition of his explosive?" |
11556 | Has it no bolts? |
11556 | Has the schooner excited suspicion, and been chased to the entrance to the passes? 11556 Have you no idea as to their nationality?" |
11556 | Healthful House, where I was sequestrated after Warder Gaydon had been entrusted with the mission of spying upon me in order to rob me of my secret? 11556 How are you going to open it?" |
11556 | How much will you give me for it-- how much? |
11556 | How much-- how much? |
11556 | I am Warder Gaydon, the attendant of Thomas Roch,I continue,"and I want to know why you have carried me off and placed me on board this schooner?" |
11556 | I understand from your remark that I shall be furnished with the means of returning to America when I want to go? |
11556 | Is anybody about? |
11556 | Is he then absolutely mad? |
11556 | Is her voyage one of business or pleasure? |
11556 | Is it possible? |
11556 | Ker Karraje is not here, then? |
11556 | Kidnap us? |
11556 | May I ask,I continue,"how you came to find out that Gaydon, the warder, was Simon Hart, the engineer?" |
11556 | My deflagrator? |
11556 | My invention? |
11556 | My opinion, Mr. Serko? 11556 My work?" |
11556 | Notwithstanding Thomas Roch''s mental condition? |
11556 | Of what use are these millions to him if he is not allowed to enjoy them outside? |
11556 | Of what use could it be to us, Serko? |
11556 | One word, Lieutenant Davon, how did you penetrate to the interior of Back Cup? |
11556 | Shall I be permitted to roam about wherever I please? |
11556 | Shall I weigh anchor? |
11556 | The tug? |
11556 | Thomas Roch, would you dare to fire upon your country''s flag-- the tricolor flag? |
11556 | Thomas Roch? |
11556 | Through the wall of the cavern? |
11556 | Vengeance?--against whom? |
11556 | Well, Mr. Simon Hart,he says,"are you getting accustomed to your tranquil existence? |
11556 | Well, and what then? |
11556 | What I think about it? 11556 What chord?" |
11556 | What do you want to say to me, Simon Hart? |
11556 | What has that to do with us? |
11556 | What is her name? |
11556 | What is his nationality? |
11556 | What is that? |
11556 | What is the use when no one is near to hear you? |
11556 | What is to be done? |
11556 | What is your opinion about it? |
11556 | What is your opinion? |
11556 | What others? |
11556 | What then? 11556 When one is caught in a trap----""One can cry out, I suppose?" |
11556 | Where is the captain? |
11556 | Where is the_ Sword_, Lieutenant? |
11556 | Where? |
11556 | Who are you, then? |
11556 | Who was it then, may I ask? |
11556 | Why so? |
11556 | Why, those men who threw themselves upon Thomas Roch and me, who gagged, bound, and carried us off and shut us up, I know not where? |
11556 | Why? |
11556 | Will she be gone long? |
11556 | Yes, but on this side there is the wall, and if you succeed in climbing it, how are you going to get over it again with Thomas Roch? 11556 Yes, how did you know?" |
11556 | You are perfectly sure about it? |
11556 | You claim that three men threw themselves upon you? |
11556 | You know who I am? |
11556 | You refer to Thomas Roch, I presume, Count? |
11556 | You, of course, sir, have no intention of refusing me permission to go over your schooner? |
11556 | You? |
11556 | 17 was situated, he said:"You managed, I presume, to thoroughly explore the place, and are acquainted with every detail of it?" |
11556 | A Spaniard? |
11556 | A volcano in these parts? |
11556 | Already thinking of leaving us, Mr. Gaydon,--of returning to your dismal pavilion at Healthful House? |
11556 | Am I in condition to reply to the questions that Engineer Serko is dying to put to me? |
11556 | Am I not imprisoned in the hold of a ship under way? |
11556 | Am I not in the power of an evildoer anxious to ensure impunity for his crimes and to defy the law by seeking refuge in this undiscoverable burrow? |
11556 | Am I not meant to understand from this that I must give up all hope of ever recovering my liberty? |
11556 | Am I the dupe of an illusion? |
11556 | And Thomas Roch, what has become of him? |
11556 | And might not this bottle by chance-- an ultra- providential chance, I must avow-- be picked up by a ship passing near Back Cup? |
11556 | And now, Mr. Hart, where is Ker Karraje''s tug?" |
11556 | And that Count d''Artigas, with his Spanish name and Asiatic type, where does he come from? |
11556 | And then what does he care whether the brigand''s name is Count''d''Artigas or Ker Karraje? |
11556 | And then, why does the_ Ebba_ have recourse to this submarine towing system? |
11556 | And was it reasonable, was it permissible, to suppose for an instant that he had been carried off for the benefit of a private individual? |
11556 | And who knows but what one day, he will try the experiment? |
11556 | And who knows but what, in my new position, I may finally discover the secret of Roth''s fulgurator? |
11556 | And why should I not succeed now that Ker Karraje, Engineer Serko, Captain Spade, and the pirates have taken their posts outside? |
11556 | And yet, without the intervention of Providence, what hope is there for me? |
11556 | And, in the first place, am I alone? |
11556 | Are the crew engaged in loading or unloading merchandise? |
11556 | Are they going to drop me overboard to drown like a rat, so as to get rid of a dangerous witness? |
11556 | Are they going to let me out at last? |
11556 | Are they going to put me back in my dark prison at the bottom of the hold? |
11556 | Are they safe and sound like us-- for I suppose that Thomas Roch has also survived? |
11556 | Are we not going to leave this island, which appears to be isolated, to the west? |
11556 | Are you not Simon Hart?" |
11556 | Are you not more closely confined within the walls of this cavern than you ever were at Healthful House?" |
11556 | Besides, how could the vessel have reached the open sea? |
11556 | Besides, what am I to the men who have carried us off? |
11556 | But after all, what does it matter? |
11556 | But does the compartment in which I am confined, really belong to a ship? |
11556 | But has this inventor entirely lost the use of his intellectual faculties?" |
11556 | But how can she escape them since they will swoop back upon her? |
11556 | But if the door was locked, how were they going to get in? |
11556 | But if they have not condemned me to die of thirst, neither have they condemned me to die of hunger, I suppose? |
11556 | But of what use is this knowledge to me? |
11556 | But what I should like to know is, has he acted as the agent of a foreign power, or on his own account? |
11556 | But what about the sailing ship that was to port of us? |
11556 | But what is it? |
11556 | But what is this-- and how on earth could I have failed to notice it before? |
11556 | But what were those reasons? |
11556 | But where is Thomas Roch? |
11556 | But where is it generated? |
11556 | But whither are my thoughts wandering? |
11556 | But who is this Count d''Artigas? |
11556 | But who were the kidnappers? |
11556 | But why do they submit to such an existence? |
11556 | But why should Thomas Roch be landed again? |
11556 | But will the vessels sighted continue on their course in this direction? |
11556 | But with what object? |
11556 | CHAPTER V. WHERE AM I? |
11556 | Can I hesitate at a murder that will bring about the chastisement of so many crimes? |
11556 | Can he be in the throes of a fresh paroxysm? |
11556 | Can there be room for doubt that it was Thomas Roch? |
11556 | Come now, have I made a mistake? |
11556 | Continuing my walk I perceive on the northern side of the lagoon the habitations of this colony of troglodytes-- do they not merit the appellation? |
11556 | Could any circumstance occur to counteract it-- to"exteriorize"him, as it were? |
11556 | Could any plausible hypothesis be deducted from the type presented by Count d''Artigas? |
11556 | Days? |
11556 | Did she then not make straight for the American coast? |
11556 | Did they realize that I was trying to discover by what means the schooner was propelled? |
11556 | Did those brave Englishmen perish in the collision? |
11556 | Do they never leave their rocky retreat? |
11556 | Do you appreciate at their just merit the advantages of this enchanted grotto? |
11556 | Do you imagine you are free, Thomas Roch? |
11556 | Do you know what were their intentions in entering the cavern?" |
11556 | Do you know where Thomas Roch is?" |
11556 | Do you, may I ask, refer to the Frenchman, Thomas Roch?" |
11556 | Does he imagine that Warder Gaydon ever heard of Trophonius? |
11556 | Does he insist upon preparing the explosive in secret and does he intend to keep the formula thereof to himself? |
11556 | Does he perceive the change in his situation? |
11556 | Does he realize the inanity of the hypothesis I try to pass off on him? |
11556 | Does he scour the seas with him, sharing the enviable life enjoyed by the rich yachtsman? |
11556 | Does he think I know more than I will say? |
11556 | Does he think of speaking to one or other of these men, and if they speak to him will he be more reasonable than he was with me, and reply to them? |
11556 | Does he wish to profit alone by Thomas Roch''s invention, and is he in the position to dispose of it profitably? |
11556 | Does it really possess the destructive power that the inventor attributes to it? |
11556 | Frenchman, would you be so criminal as to strike it?" |
11556 | Gaydon, it is you, is it?" |
11556 | Gaydon?" |
11556 | Had he abandoned the Pacific for other seas? |
11556 | Had it been voluntarily caused by the pirates when they realized that escape was impossible? |
11556 | Had this enigmatical personage then come solely for the purpose of visiting Healthful House? |
11556 | Hart?" |
11556 | Has anybody been in here? |
11556 | Has he already forgotten about Healthful House, the pavilion in which he was a prisoner, and Gaydon, his keeper? |
11556 | Has he any idea of the value of money? |
11556 | Has he been banished, is he an outcast of society that he should have selected this place above all others? |
11556 | Has he been killed by one of the projectiles? |
11556 | Has he not obtained what he has so long sought for? |
11556 | Has it ever been tried? |
11556 | Has she been delayed by a buccaneering cruise in the neighborhood of Back Cup? |
11556 | Has she reached her destination? |
11556 | Has the door been opened? |
11556 | Have Americans, English, French, Germans, and Russians reason to fear that an attack in force against the island would be doomed to failure?" |
11556 | Have boats come alongside? |
11556 | Have the English, desirous of avenging the destruction of the_ Sword_, alone undertaken the expedition? |
11556 | Have they missed it? |
11556 | Have they set out on a piracy expedition? |
11556 | Have you given up all hope of recovering your liberty some day or other?" |
11556 | He raises his head, shakes it nervously, and with a disdainful gesture:"What do you mean by''your country?'' |
11556 | He stops, with laughing eyes and mocking mouth, and accompanies a"Good day, how do you do?" |
11556 | How comes it that he knew that a French engineer was performing the duties of attendant to Thomas Roch? |
11556 | How could a frail craft like the_ Sword_ defend itself against the attacks of Ker Karraje''s powerful machine? |
11556 | How could he get all this money except from Ker Karraje, and as the price of his secret? |
11556 | How did this man manage to find out what I was able to keep from the staff of Healthful House? |
11556 | How do I know that I am afloat on the Neuse, though I was conveyed a short distance in a boat? |
11556 | How have I survived it? |
11556 | How is it that Pamlico Sound is so extraordinarily calm? |
11556 | How is it that my heart is not broken? |
11556 | How is this schooner moving? |
11556 | How long have I been asleep? |
11556 | How much longer will this incarceration last? |
11556 | How was it then that he manifested such extraordinary unconcern? |
11556 | How will this adventure end? |
11556 | I am anxious for the passage to be made, for who knows but what it may be the way to freedom for me? |
11556 | I continually revert to this question, hoping that some incident will occur to enlighten me: Where am I? |
11556 | I question whether there is any other issue than the tunnel, and how on earth could I get through that? |
11556 | I walk up to one of the sailors and inquire:"What is the name of this ship?" |
11556 | I, however, go on:"Thomas Roch, do you remember Healthful House?" |
11556 | If he has seized Thomas Roch, is it not because he is determined to secure the secret of the fulgurator at no matter what cost? |
11556 | If, as I suspect, this name of d''Artigas and this title of Count are assumed, what motive has he for hiding his identity? |
11556 | In the latter place the cisterns have to supply the needs of over ten thousand people, this one of a hundred-- what? |
11556 | In the present state of his mind may he not be induced to disclose the composition of his fulgurator? |
11556 | In this case is it not possible that I was carried into the cellar of a house? |
11556 | In this event, how would you be able to provision the island?" |
11556 | Instead of crossing Pamlico Sound, may we not be going in the opposite direction, up the River Neuse? |
11556 | Is he a personal friend of the Count d''Artigas? |
11556 | Is he going to tell him what is passing, that a squadron is in view of Back Cup, and that his fulgurator will be employed to defend the island? |
11556 | Is he not at last able to carry out the plans he formed years and years ago? |
11556 | Is he not on board? |
11556 | Is he not the owner of these riches accumulated by twenty years of murder and rapine? |
11556 | Is it a big whale rising for air, and is the_ Ebba_ in danger of being shattered by a blow from the monster''s tail? |
11556 | Is it day? |
11556 | Is it known that Thomas Roch and his keeper are confined in Back Cup? |
11556 | Is it known that the abduction was effected in the interest of Ker Karraje? |
11556 | Is it night? |
11556 | Is it not folly to think of such a thing? |
11556 | Is it so? |
11556 | Is it the state of the sea that delays another campaign against Back Cup? |
11556 | Is not he, Thomas Roch, master of Back Cup? |
11556 | Is she a steam- yacht? |
11556 | Is she propelled by electricity-- by a battery of accumulators, or by piles of great power that work her screw and send her along at this rate? |
11556 | Is the danger over? |
11556 | Is the island being bombarded with a view to its destruction? |
11556 | Is the_ Ebba_ now free to proceed?" |
11556 | Is there a manufactory installed somewhere or other in this vast crypt, with machinery, dynamos and accumulators? |
11556 | Is there then a creek in the middle of the rocks where the vessel is secure from the breakers? |
11556 | Is this the port to which she belongs? |
11556 | Just who was this Count d''Artigas? |
11556 | Looking him straight in the face, I reply:"You know who I am, Thomas Roch, but do you know in whose place you are?" |
11556 | Mansion? |
11556 | May not cruisers of other nations be with them? |
11556 | May they not be merely passing on their way to Bermuda? |
11556 | May you not have purchased a composition as inert as a pinch of snuff?" |
11556 | Might not the discovery of the new engine be lost to America forever? |
11556 | Might not the latter, instead of heading for a ship in waiting for it, opposite Healthful House, have been rowed to a point further down the river? |
11556 | Might not the most serious consequences follow? |
11556 | Months? |
11556 | Once we are out at sea, what will they have to fear from me? |
11556 | Or perhaps the Count had been inspired by curiosity to meet Thomas Roch? |
11556 | Otherwise why should he have come to such a place? |
11556 | Serko?" |
11556 | Shall I be left here in this way till morning? |
11556 | Shall I ever be able to escape from Back Cup, denounce the false Count d''Artigas and rid the seas of Ker Karraje''s pirates? |
11556 | Shall I ever be able to get even with him? |
11556 | Shall I ever be afforded another chance? |
11556 | Sheer folly, and yet what other way is there of getting out of Back Cup? |
11556 | Sleep, when I am near the end of a situation that threatened to be prolonged for years and years? |
11556 | Sleep, when my brain is in a whirl of excitement? |
11556 | Then, abruptly, I go on:"If I am not mistaken, you have succeeded in inducing Thomas Roch to disclose the secret of his fulgurator?" |
11556 | Then, what kind of a machine is it that imparts such a marvellous speed to the vessel? |
11556 | They passed lines around the hull of the_ Sword_----""The_ Sword_?" |
11556 | To what nation do they belong? |
11556 | Trophonius after Pluto and Neptune? |
11556 | Twenty minutes later the dinghy returns with the four men towards the tug which was evidently waiting for them before proceeding-- where? |
11556 | Very true, but what if, instead of a bottle a diminutive, tightly closed keg were used? |
11556 | Was I passed through a porthole? |
11556 | Was anybody coming to my cell? |
11556 | Was it Count d''Artigas''intention to wait there till daybreak brought a breeze with it? |
11556 | Was it not dangerous to stay where they were after their daring raid? |
11556 | Was it not the door by which I was going to escape from my prison? |
11556 | Was not liberty awaiting me on the other side? |
11556 | Was she, then, specially privileged, and to be spared the bother of being searched? |
11556 | Was the Count d''Artigas considered too high and mighty a personage to be thus molested, and delayed even for an hour? |
11556 | Was the air renewed while I slept? |
11556 | We shall end by getting Roch''s thunderbolts entirely in our own hand, and then----""Are you sure, Serko?" |
11556 | Were Thomas Roch and Gaydon so safely hidden that their hiding- place could not possibly be discovered? |
11556 | Were these moral means applicable to the case of Thomas Roch? |
11556 | What are the islands or groups of islands to be found in the direction we are going, ere the continent of the Old World is reached? |
11556 | What can I reply to such insensate assertions? |
11556 | What can this compensation be? |
11556 | What could have inspired that Count d''Artigas with the unfortunate curiosity to visit Healthful House? |
11556 | What could he have procured with his piastres and bank- notes in the small markets of New- Berne? |
11556 | What did it all mean? |
11556 | What has been his past? |
11556 | What has happened since the sudden aggression of which I was the victim near the pavilion? |
11556 | What if that bottle contained a letter? |
11556 | What if the madman cries out-- what if he should resist-- what if his keeper gives the alarm?" |
11556 | What is the use of waxing wroth with this jester? |
11556 | What is this? |
11556 | What is to prevent me from knocking his brains out? |
11556 | What was the cause of the explosion? |
11556 | What were they going to do with me? |
11556 | What will the end be as far as I am personally concerned? |
11556 | What would they go further inland for? |
11556 | When Ker Karraje orders the latter to launch his engines against the ships will he remember what I told him? |
11556 | Where am I? |
11556 | Where am I? |
11556 | Where does he hail from? |
11556 | Where does it come from? |
11556 | Where had the band hidden themselves since they had ceased their depredations? |
11556 | Where? |
11556 | Where? |
11556 | Where? |
11556 | Who are they? |
11556 | Who in America would have any idea that the rich yachtsman so well known in all the eastern ports abides in the solitude of Back Cup mountain? |
11556 | Who in Bermuda imagines that a vessel is accustomed to lay up in this secret creek? |
11556 | Who knows but what I may receive more consideration than if I remain Warder Gaydon? |
11556 | Who knows what the future has in store for me? |
11556 | Who were they?" |
11556 | Why am I not permitted to cast one glance over the ocean towards the distant horizon of the Bermudas? |
11556 | Why had they thus abandoned the islet with the intention, as it pretty soon appeared, of never returning to it? |
11556 | Why has he severed himself from the world? |
11556 | Why has she stopped? |
11556 | Why is she not provided with her own means of propulsion, like other pleasure- boats? |
11556 | Why should I not attempt it, since no hope of being restored to liberty is held out to me? |
11556 | Why should he not have recovered his reason? |
11556 | Why should this warship cause a pleasure- yacht to turn out of its way? |
11556 | Why was Thomas Roch abducted from Healthful House in the manner already fully described? |
11556 | Why, therefore, should they have desired to kidnap a mere hospital attendant? |
11556 | Will he be able to resist the temptation if they offer him the exorbitant price that he demands? |
11556 | Will he refuse to obey? |
11556 | Will he succeed better than I did? |
11556 | Will not his crime appear to him in all its horror? |
11556 | Would it not be better to end in this way than to spend years and years amid these infernal and infamous surroundings? |
11556 | Would this pirate break out in a fresh place? |
11556 | Yes, why not dignify it with the title since this habitation has been arranged with a certain art? |
11556 | You remember me, of course?" |
11556 | why can I not go and breathe, if only for a single instant, the vivifying air outside? |
30954 | ''_ Sydney Morning Herald_, November 26th,''ca n''t you make that out? |
30954 | A broken arm? |
30954 | A''m your grandfaither, amn''t I not? 30954 Accuse you of?" |
30954 | Already? |
30954 | Am I? |
30954 | Americans? |
30954 | An observer, sir? |
30954 | And I think it is this very friend you are now trying to repay? |
30954 | And do you mean to say you would land us there to starve? |
30954 | And do you think, Loudon,he replied,"that a man who can paint a thousand- dollar picture has not grit enough to keep his end up in the stock market? |
30954 | And how about Mac? |
30954 | And how have_ you_ fared? |
30954 | And how is the old man? |
30954 | And how long are we to keep up this racket? |
30954 | And now you think better of it, and would like to be off with your bargain? 30954 And perhaps you bought a wreck?" |
30954 | And should n''t you? 30954 And suppose,"said I,"suppose the opium is so securely hidden that I ca n''t get hands on it?" |
30954 | And the bags? |
30954 | And the change of writing? |
30954 | And the other man was rich? |
30954 | And then you will repay me out of Carthew''s pocket? |
30954 | And what am I to do in''Frisco? |
30954 | And what are ye going to do with the Highway boy and the plumber? |
30954 | And what became of the other three Currency Lasses after they left Carthew? |
30954 | And what do you think of that? |
30954 | And what if I have? |
30954 | And what sort of Bedouins encamp among the ruins? |
30954 | And what will Captain Wicks be thinking of the whaleboat? |
30954 | And whatever it was, he has got it.--By the way, where is Mr. Carthew at present? 30954 And where would I be the while you were doin''ut?" |
30954 | And who is_ she_? |
30954 | And who were they? |
30954 | And why should n''t we say the Lord''s Prayer? 30954 And you gave it?" |
30954 | And you so read these instructions that I am to be prohibited from making an honest livelihood? |
30954 | And you would be a good deal surprised if I were to tell you they were gone already? |
30954 | And you''re what ye call a British sayman, I suppose? 30954 And your room?" |
30954 | Any advance on fifty thousand dollars? 30954 Any guess what it all means?" |
30954 | Anything more? |
30954 | Anything wrong with it? |
30954 | Are you Broken- Stool Pinkerton? |
30954 | Are you going to make a sketch of it? |
30954 | Are you? |
30954 | Ashamed, Loudon? 30954 Before you pick that wreck, you''ve got to buy her, and how much will she cost?" |
30954 | Beg your pardon, sir,cried the sailor:"gen''lem''n in the white schooner?" |
30954 | Bellairs? |
30954 | But are you a seaman? 30954 But how about clearing? |
30954 | But how did you get in? |
30954 | But how do you explain it? |
30954 | But is it safe? |
30954 | But what have you sold it for? |
30954 | But you saw more of the others? |
30954 | But you_ are_ Irish, ai n''t you? |
30954 | But, Pinkerton, do you think it''s honest? |
30954 | But, my dear dad, what is it all about? |
30954 | By saying disagreeable things? 30954 By the way, which of you is called Wicks?" |
30954 | By- the- bye, who is he? |
30954 | Ca n''t I? |
30954 | Ca n''t you look at them? |
30954 | Ca n''t you? |
30954 | Can you forge hand of write? |
30954 | Captain Jacob Trent? |
30954 | Captain Trent of the wreck? 30954 Captain, sir, I suppose?" |
30954 | Certainly not; why should he? |
30954 | Come and have a drink? |
30954 | Come, come, Mr. Pinkerton; any advance? |
30954 | Cowtops? |
30954 | Did he express his baggage, ma''am? |
30954 | Did he? |
30954 | Did he? |
30954 | Did she break up? |
30954 | Did they say much about the wreck? |
30954 | Did ye see him after the naygresses now? |
30954 | Did you ask a blessing on your present enterprise? |
30954 | Did you get this by heart? |
30954 | Do n''t it look a little as if you were trying to avoid the wreck? |
30954 | Do n''t you know? |
30954 | Do n''t you see what this British officer says about the safety? 30954 Do you call these Dutchmen and Scattermouches[4] Americans? |
30954 | Do you know, Jim, what I''m sorriest for? |
30954 | Do you know, Mr. Dodd,said he, in a queer voice,"this painter''s been cut? |
30954 | Do you mean to leave her? |
30954 | Do you mean to say it was true? |
30954 | Do you mind asking, or letting me ask? 30954 Do you never do anything you''re ashamed of?" |
30954 | Do you pay the men''s passage home? |
30954 | Do you want me to be frank with you? 30954 Do?" |
30954 | Does he write many letters? |
30954 | Does it explain anything? |
30954 | Dreadful stuff, is n''t it? |
30954 | Dreary? |
30954 | Ever try the blackmail? |
30954 | Ever try the mounted police? |
30954 | Excuse me, if I seem to press the subject,he continued;"but if you think my life erroneous, would you have me neglect the means of grace? |
30954 | God knows,said Stennis.--"What is wrong with you? |
30954 | Gone? |
30954 | Good business? |
30954 | Had he done anything very bad? |
30954 | Had n''t we a hundred times better stay by the brig? |
30954 | Hallo,he plainly thought,"this is not the ring I''m fighting, then?" |
30954 | Has he big blonde side- whiskers like tusks? |
30954 | Has he travelled much? |
30954 | Has she any claim on you? |
30954 | Have you a telephone laid on to the_ Tempest_? |
30954 | Have you any idea what this would cost? |
30954 | Have you driven me before? |
30954 | Have you forgotten the circumstances of the case? 30954 Have you heard of your wife again?" |
30954 | Have you taken her back? |
30954 | He could n''t have been particular, you mean? |
30954 | Here is Havens,said one, as if welcoming a fresh topic.--"What do you think of her, Havens?" |
30954 | Here, Gregg,cried my grandfather,"just a question: What has Aadam got to do with my will?" |
30954 | Hey? |
30954 | Him Carthew shot in the companion, and the one I caught in the jaw on the main top- gallant? |
30954 | Honest? 30954 How about the owners?" |
30954 | How are you? |
30954 | How can I make a calculation if you blow hot and cold? 30954 How can I tell you?" |
30954 | How did she strike? 30954 How did that pan out?" |
30954 | How do you mean, father,I cried--"experienced?" |
30954 | How have you managed? |
30954 | How many of them were here? |
30954 | How much do you call that? |
30954 | How on earth do you guess that? |
30954 | How should I? 30954 How the mischief is it I can never keep you to that bankruptcy? |
30954 | How to explain the loss of mine? |
30954 | How was that? |
30954 | How''s that? |
30954 | How? 30954 How?" |
30954 | I beg your pardon, Loudon,began Jim at last,"but why in snakes did you burn her?" |
30954 | I beg your pardon,said the auctioneer;"anybody bid?" |
30954 | I do n''t have any friends in Honolulu, do n''t you know? |
30954 | I do n''t require to tell you the game''s up? |
30954 | I do n''t think we were ever very intimate? |
30954 | I hope it is n''t my business that decides you? |
30954 | I know it''ll shock your delicate self- respect,he said;"but what was I to do? |
30954 | I sought your fazér was immensely reech? |
30954 | I suppose all''s up? |
30954 | I suppose you''ve no tryde? |
30954 | I think she is really grateful? |
30954 | I thought you were a mate? |
30954 | If you will allow me to clothe my idea in a somewhat vulgar form,said he,"I might ask you, did you go to Midway for your health?" |
30954 | In reason? |
30954 | In short, you support her? |
30954 | In that black bag? |
30954 | In what form was your money? 30954 Insured?" |
30954 | Interested? 30954 Is Jim Pinkerton there?" |
30954 | Is Mr. Sebright on board? |
30954 | Is he saying he kicked her downstairs? |
30954 | Is he to lose all? |
30954 | Is my money mine''s, or is it Aadam''s? 30954 Is n''t there some official expression we could use?" |
30954 | Is that cargo out? |
30954 | Is that one of them? |
30954 | Is that so, Jim? 30954 Is that so, indeed, sir?" |
30954 | Is that the line? |
30954 | Is that your last word, sir? 30954 Is the book well known? |
30954 | Is there no survivor? |
30954 | Is this public auction conducted in a subterranean vault? 30954 It did n''t really matter, do n''t you know?" |
30954 | It is kind of lonely, is n''t it? |
30954 | It took time, but I had him cornered at last; and then----"What then? |
30954 | It would sicken a dog, would n''t it? |
30954 | It''s dry and tough enough,said I;"_ a^2+ 2ab+ b^2._""It''s stimulating, though?" |
30954 | It''s touching, is n''t it? |
30954 | It''s what? |
30954 | Jim? |
30954 | Lawyer Bellairs? |
30954 | Looks as if a fellow could stick his head into it, do n''t it? |
30954 | Mac has his arm broken,observed Carthew;"how would he stand the voyage?" |
30954 | Mac, you''ve been in China ports? 30954 Madden, you say his name is?" |
30954 | Master,said I,"will you take me in your studio again-- but this time as a workman?" |
30954 | May I have a word with you? |
30954 | May I use your telephone one moment? |
30954 | Montana Block, I think? |
30954 | Mr. Daniells, will you oblige me by stepping clear of that main- sheet? |
30954 | Mr. Dickson? 30954 Mr. Dodd, I believe,"said he, addressing a smallish, bearded gentleman, who sat writing at the table.--"Why,"he cried,"it is n''t Loudon Dodd?" |
30954 | Mr. Goddedaal, the mate, was n''t here then? |
30954 | Mudding? 30954 Must have rotted and come sweet again.--Queer, is n''t it, Mr. Dodd? |
30954 | My God, Jim, can we pay the money? |
30954 | Nares,said I,"I''ve told you how I first saw Captain Trent in that saloon in''Frisco? |
30954 | Nice place, Hong Kong? |
30954 | No doubt of that,said I;"but the other notion?" |
30954 | No present use for a dollar? |
30954 | No wages? |
30954 | No, but to look at? |
30954 | No,said he, quickly and timidly,"what was it? |
30954 | No,says he, rolling his eyes;"why? |
30954 | None of it? |
30954 | Nor you never heard where he was? |
30954 | Not in this still- life here of the melon? 30954 Not think better of it? |
30954 | Now, gentlemen, what shall we say? |
30954 | O yes, I remember: he was sick all the way to''Frisco, was he not? |
30954 | O yes, you''re from China ways, like us? |
30954 | O, that''s a different story!--What made you do it, you tomfool? 30954 O, the lime- juicers?" |
30954 | O, you''ve heard of the sale, then? |
30954 | Of our geological epoch? 30954 Of sculpture?" |
30954 | One question more,said I:"did you recognise my voice?" |
30954 | One word, Mr. Borden,said he; and then to Jim,"Well, Pink, where are we up to now?" |
30954 | Or, in other words, the whole thing? |
30954 | Pinkerton, what nonsense is this? |
30954 | Pinkerton,I said,"ca n''t you understand that, as long as I was there, I never took the smallest interest in any stricken thing? |
30954 | Pinkerton,said I suddenly,"have you that_ Occidental_ in your pocket?" |
30954 | Please yourself,replied the pilot.--"You could n''t think of offering a man a nip, could you? |
30954 | Rather a strong step, is n''t it? |
30954 | Sacrificed me? |
30954 | Safe? |
30954 | Say, Freshman,he said,"what''s your name? |
30954 | See that sandy- haired man in glasses? |
30954 | Shall we go into the papers? |
30954 | Shall we say Honolulu? |
30954 | Shares in what? |
30954 | She looks kind of pitiful, do n''t she? |
30954 | She seems to me to lie nicely; ca n''t we get your ship off? |
30954 | Should n''t we see the list of passengers? |
30954 | So it is; and what the better are we for that, if it do n''t look so? |
30954 | So that, if I like,concluded my grandfather, hammering out his words,"I can leave every doit I die possessed of to the Great Magunn?" |
30954 | So? |
30954 | Starve? 30954 Suppose I pass you my word that, whatever may have occurred, there were excuses-- great excuses-- I may say, very great?" |
30954 | Suppose I spirit up the hands a bit,I asked,"by the offer of a reward?" |
30954 | Suppose you took him aloft and got him to point out the channel? |
30954 | Surely I know you? |
30954 | That all? 30954 That so?" |
30954 | That you, Bellairs? |
30954 | That''s all we wanted, is n''t it? |
30954 | That''s supposing that I do it? |
30954 | That''s the money Trent tramped and traded with? 30954 That''s what they call Shanghaiing, is n''t it?" |
30954 | The creditors will never believe what fools we were.--And that reminds me,I continued, rejoicing in the transition,"how about the bankruptcy?" |
30954 | The ship''s money? |
30954 | The spirit of my inquiries? |
30954 | Then how the devil am I to get him? |
30954 | Then what can he have come for? 30954 Then you have n''t paid them?" |
30954 | There, what do you make of that? |
30954 | Think it safe, Joe? |
30954 | Tit you effer find a nokket? |
30954 | To Lady Ann? |
30954 | Trade? 30954 Unless you have private knowledge, there will be a good deal of rather violent wrecking to do before you find that-- opium, do you call it?" |
30954 | Was he with the rest in that saloon when you saw them? |
30954 | Was it an old taste? |
30954 | Was n''t that the captain with the red face and coloured handkerchief? 30954 Was there money in that?" |
30954 | Well now, and what did you think of Bellairs? |
30954 | Well, Mr. Dodd, how does that strike you? |
30954 | Well, and talking of Mamie? |
30954 | Well, and where''s your station? |
30954 | Well, but at sea? |
30954 | Well, captain,Jim continued,"you know about the size of the business? |
30954 | Well, is it to be Kauai, after all? |
30954 | Well, sir,said Carthew,"and what_ is_ your price?" |
30954 | Well, sir? |
30954 | Well, that''s neither here nor there,cried Pinkerton;"the point is, how about these dollars lying on a reef?" |
30954 | Well, then, what ails you? |
30954 | Well, then, you wo n''t mind if I ask the lot of you down to tea in the cabin? |
30954 | Well, then,suggested some one,"did you ever smuggle opium?" |
30954 | Well, this ship''s mine, I think? |
30954 | Well, what are we staying for? 30954 Well, what do I care?" |
30954 | Well, what do you think of Douglas B.? |
30954 | Well, what do_ you_ mean? |
30954 | Well, what do_ you_ think of the ryleways, then? |
30954 | Well, what shall we do next? |
30954 | Well, what''s the odds? |
30954 | Well, you ca n''t say fairer than that,the captain admitted;"and now the reward''s offered you''ll talk? |
30954 | Well, your Majesty, what is the amount? |
30954 | Well,I remember crying once,"and what is your life? |
30954 | Well,drawled Nares,"there''s sixty pounds of niggerhead on the quay, is n''t there? |
30954 | Well,said he,"you were going on to say?" |
30954 | Well? |
30954 | Well? |
30954 | Well? |
30954 | What about the men? |
30954 | What ails you anyway? 30954 What are they?" |
30954 | What are you talking of? 30954 What can she be?" |
30954 | What did that make for him altogether? |
30954 | What did you say to him? |
30954 | What did you say your ship was? |
30954 | What do you infer? |
30954 | What do you make it? |
30954 | What do you make of Trent? |
30954 | What do you mean by calling my honesty in question? |
30954 | What do you mean by calling my honesty in question? |
30954 | What do you mean by that? |
30954 | What do you mean by that? |
30954 | What do you mean by that? |
30954 | What do you mean? |
30954 | What do you mean? |
30954 | What do_ you_ think of them, if you come to that? |
30954 | What does it all mean? |
30954 | What figure, if you please? |
30954 | What for? |
30954 | What has he got to do with it? |
30954 | What in creation ails you? |
30954 | What is it that bothers you? |
30954 | What is that? |
30954 | What is this? |
30954 | What made you so sure? |
30954 | What matter a few dollars now? |
30954 | What more is there to say? |
30954 | What news? |
30954 | What next? |
30954 | What on earth have you done with it? |
30954 | What on earth is wrong? |
30954 | What papers are they? |
30954 | What ship is she? |
30954 | What size is she? |
30954 | What sort of a place is it inside? |
30954 | What sort of life is she leading now? |
30954 | What the devil''s this? |
30954 | What the devil''s wrong? |
30954 | What was he like, ma''am? |
30954 | What was it, Jim? |
30954 | What were the names of the other two? |
30954 | What would you do, sir? |
30954 | What''s all this? |
30954 | What''s that? |
30954 | What''s the use-- at sea? 30954 What''s this thing about? |
30954 | What''s wrong? 30954 What, the Redeeming Feature?" |
30954 | When did he go? |
30954 | When did he leave? |
30954 | When was this done? |
30954 | Where did you find them? |
30954 | Where has he gone? |
30954 | Where hye ye been a''dye? |
30954 | Where is she bound? |
30954 | Where shall we find him? |
30954 | Where''s the captain of this----? |
30954 | Where''s your mate? |
30954 | Which is Brown, then? |
30954 | Who are they? |
30954 | Who are you? |
30954 | Who can have put up a shyster[3] like that? 30954 Who is he?" |
30954 | Who were the owners? |
30954 | Who''s that? |
30954 | Who? |
30954 | Why did he want to buy her back in''Frisco for these fabulous sums, when he might have sailed her into the bay himself? |
30954 | Why did n''t Trent get her off? |
30954 | Why do n''t he come to see you? |
30954 | Why do n''t he give me a chance then? 30954 Why do we want to visit this old ruffian?" |
30954 | Why do you always say that? |
30954 | Why do you call me that? |
30954 | Why do you want to buy the_ Flying Scud_? |
30954 | Why in snakes did n''t you say so, Loudon? |
30954 | Why in snakes should anybody want to be a sculptor, if you come to that? 30954 Why must Brown go the same way?" |
30954 | Why should not I dash( vocally) into the presence of this mysterious person, and have some fun for my money? |
30954 | Why, Norrie, old chappie, where have you dropped from? 30954 Why, how do you know that?" |
30954 | Why, what was wrong, then? 30954 Why, what''s all this? |
30954 | Why, who''s to take it? |
30954 | Why, you''re never the pilot? |
30954 | Wicks,repeated the doctor;"which of you is he? |
30954 | Will it pay? |
30954 | Would that be a safe, conservative business? |
30954 | Ye hear that, Aadam? |
30954 | Yes-- and why should n''t he? |
30954 | You agree with me that Bellairs was ready to go higher? |
30954 | You ai n''t going to turn us to, to warp her off? |
30954 | You are fond of poetry too? |
30954 | You are still in relations, then? |
30954 | You began; why do you stop and why do I come in? 30954 You do n''t object to that?" |
30954 | You do n''t see any promise? |
30954 | You do n''t think it''s honest? |
30954 | You do n''t want to keep me here for a needless humiliation? |
30954 | You had a secret? |
30954 | You have n''t it here? 30954 You have no idea, Mr. Dodd, of returning upon your determination?" |
30954 | You know I''ve been in trouble, and I do n''t deny but what I struck the blow, and where was I to get evidence of my provocation? 30954 You know a man by the name of Bellairs, do n''t you?" |
30954 | You know a sight, do n''t you? |
30954 | You mean about the bankruptcy? |
30954 | You rather like the berth, I suppose? |
30954 | You the master of this ship? |
30954 | You think Paris necessary? |
30954 | You think you can do what you please with James; you trust to his affection, do you not? 30954 You were once an outsider like your neighbours, I suppose?" |
30954 | You would n''t have me miss a rising tide? |
30954 | You''re a kind of company, ai n''t you, Captain Kirkup? |
30954 | Your questions? |
30954 | Your voice? |
30954 | _ Qu''est- ce qu''il a_? 30954 _ Qu''est- ce que vous me chantez là?_ O, in América,"he added, on further information being hastily furnished. |
30954 | _ Shall I strike out? 30954 _ Tempest_, do n''t you know?" |
30954 | ''Are you tired of me?'' |
30954 | ''Grained you?'' |
30954 | ''If we go ahead?'' |
30954 | ''What''s wrong?'' |
30954 | ( How does that strike you?) |
30954 | A registered letter for me, who had been so long without one? |
30954 | Ai n''t there no more Californians?" |
30954 | Algebra? |
30954 | Am I clear? |
30954 | Amalu? |
30954 | An artist, and straight from Sydney? |
30954 | And do you mean to say that such a circumstance as that can pass without remark?" |
30954 | And has this change-- poor Carthew''s return, and all-- has this not mended matters?" |
30954 | And he has left it?" |
30954 | And he told of the voice in the telephone, and the maddening question:"Why did you want to buy the_ Flying Scud_?" |
30954 | And look here-- hadn''t you better just show our friends over the side?" |
30954 | And mining-- how''s that for risk? |
30954 | And perhaps you''ll be so kind as to tell me what the hell you''re doing on my quarter- deck? |
30954 | And suppose another ship came in to- night? |
30954 | And the sum? |
30954 | And then paused, and his reason coming to him with more clearness, spoke again:"What was I saying Where am I? |
30954 | And then to the driver:"Do you know Black Tom''s?" |
30954 | And then, do n''t you see, if anybody is to win, somebody must lose?" |
30954 | And then, how about all that blood among the chandlery? |
30954 | And there''s his cheque- book to draw upon his owners? |
30954 | And there''s no sense in my trying to deny I was afraid to go to trial, or why would I be here? |
30954 | And what am I to do for a captain, Loudon, with Longhurst gone home an hour ago and the boys all scattered?" |
30954 | And when will it be dated? |
30954 | And where was the American Type? |
30954 | And where''s the use? |
30954 | And, in that lone spot, what else was to be found to speak of but the treasure? |
30954 | Any other ass got any time to waste? |
30954 | Anything wrong?" |
30954 | Are we dipped as bad as that?" |
30954 | Because you consider me in the wrong on one point, would you have me place myself in the wrong in all? |
30954 | Bellairs?" |
30954 | Bellairs?'' |
30954 | But I braced myself up with the_ Flying Scud_.--How did it exactly figure out, anyway? |
30954 | But I lay it before you in all confidence of your acquittal: was the general tone of it"patronising"? |
30954 | But he had his revenge with"Home, Sweet Home,"and"Where is my Wandering Boy To- night?" |
30954 | But how to get the wrong crew there?" |
30954 | But put yourself in my place-- how could I sleep-- how could I dream of sleeping, in this blackness of remorse and despair? |
30954 | But the point is, do you accept?" |
30954 | But the point is, how will your friend take it? |
30954 | But the_ Flying Scud?_ a deep- water tramp, who was lime- juicing around between big ports, Calcutta and Rangoon and''Frisco and the Canton River. |
30954 | But what I want to know is, where is Trent''s Hoyt?" |
30954 | But what is that you say? |
30954 | But when was this? |
30954 | By sight, I may say I know you extremely well, you and your followers, the fellows in the kilts, eh? |
30954 | Ca n''t keep them from talking, ca n''t I? |
30954 | Ca n''t you give us''a dead bird''for a good traderoom?" |
30954 | Ca n''t you see we''re doomed? |
30954 | Ca n''t you see who you are talking to? |
30954 | Ca n''t you talk sense? |
30954 | Can Aadam interfere?" |
30954 | Can I do anything in your way?" |
30954 | Can you lend me a hundred francs until to- morrow?" |
30954 | Captain Trent? |
30954 | Carthew?" |
30954 | Carthew?" |
30954 | Carthew?" |
30954 | Catch the idea? |
30954 | Catch the idea?" |
30954 | Confound it,"I thought,"have I got to the point of envying that ancient fossil?" |
30954 | Could a plain citizen-- myself, for instance-- come and see?" |
30954 | Could it be Norris? |
30954 | Could n''t use it, I suppose, as a medium of advertisement for my article?" |
30954 | Could n''t you get hands on him?" |
30954 | Did I hear you make an advance, sir?" |
30954 | Did he not come here to- day and pretend he would take a situation-- pretend he would share his hard- earned wages with us until you were well? |
30954 | Did n''t I take his?" |
30954 | Did n''t I take my risk when I bought her? |
30954 | Do n''t you know you''ve come into your kingdom?" |
30954 | Do n''t you see the cargo''s valued at ten thousand? |
30954 | Do you know anything against him?" |
30954 | Do you know him well?" |
30954 | Do you know these people are the magnates of the section? |
30954 | Do you make any advance on fifty thousand?" |
30954 | Do you mean to say that wo n''t affect a ship''s compass? |
30954 | Do you mean to tell me that the look- out wo n''t turn to and_ smell_ it?" |
30954 | Do you see those boats there, one on the house and two on the beds? |
30954 | Dodd?" |
30954 | Dodd?" |
30954 | Dodd?" |
30954 | Dodd?" |
30954 | Dodd?" |
30954 | Everything''s got to come to bearings at some port, has n''t it? |
30954 | FOOTNOTES:[ 1]"What''s the matter with him?" |
30954 | For I daresay your lot would turn to and give us a hand?" |
30954 | For it strikes me, when it came to smuggling opium, you walked right up?" |
30954 | For why should this chest have been deserted and neglected, when the others were rummaged or removed? |
30954 | Has he written other works?" |
30954 | Have I a certificate, or what have I to do to get one? |
30954 | Have n''t we enough to bear the way we are?" |
30954 | Have we any choice, then?" |
30954 | Have you forgotten that he knew the address, and did not tell it you until that man had escaped?" |
30954 | Have you never printed an advertisement? |
30954 | Have you read that? |
30954 | He wished, then, to conceal his interest? |
30954 | He''s been a good friend to you, has n''t he? |
30954 | He''s likely to be right, for if he is n''t where can the stuff be? |
30954 | Heard ever any man the match of that? |
30954 | Here are the names on the register; perhaps you would care to look at them while I go and see about the baggage?" |
30954 | His name was not Bellairs?" |
30954 | How are we to stand to one another? |
30954 | How can I prepare a lecture in thirty hours?" |
30954 | How can he come in?" |
30954 | How can we trust him? |
30954 | How come you here in the South Seas, running a trader?" |
30954 | How did the_ Sydney Morning Herald_ get to Hong Kong in thirteen days? |
30954 | How did we come to go so soon?" |
30954 | How do you make out that?" |
30954 | How do you suppose I bought the_ James L. Moody_ for two hundred and fifty, her boats alone worth four times the money? |
30954 | How does that affect the islands?" |
30954 | How had he sacrificed the absent? |
30954 | How much was it worth? |
30954 | How old was Corot before he struck the vein of his own precious metal? |
30954 | How was I to command chance? |
30954 | I asked him,"or a sudden fancy?" |
30954 | I cried,"who is there to rob you in a place like this?" |
30954 | I do pilot him, to the inexpressible entertainment of the picnic, for I am( why should I deny it?) |
30954 | I exclaimed;"have n''t we Depew City, one of God''s green centres for this State? |
30954 | I hope we''re all Prodestans here?" |
30954 | I just said to myself,''What is most wanted in my age and country? |
30954 | I suppose that''s understood?" |
30954 | I thought the name near enough, claimed the despatch, and found it was from Pinkerton:"What day do you arrive? |
30954 | I trust you told him nothing about Carthew?" |
30954 | I wonder if there ever was a captain yet that lost a ship with his log- book up to date? |
30954 | I''ll wire you in the office cipher, and we''ll make it a kind of partnership business, Loudon:--Dodd and Son, eh?" |
30954 | I''m not going to give you the run of the books of this firm, am I? |
30954 | I''m not in the bankruptcy at all?" |
30954 | I''m working me passage; I got no share in that two thousand pounds, nor nothing in my pockut; and I''ll be glad to know what you have to say to me?" |
30954 | If any carpenter comes tinkering here where''ll he go first? |
30954 | If we fail, like these old feudal monarchies, what is left?" |
30954 | In what new imbroglio should I alight on the Pacific coast? |
30954 | In what other city would a harmless madman who supposed himself emperor of the two Americas have been so fostered and encouraged? |
30954 | Is Mr. Pinkerton in the thing at all? |
30954 | Is he more astute than I was? |
30954 | Is n''t the fairest kind of shipowning to risk men''s lives? |
30954 | Is that you, Mr. Bellairs? |
30954 | Is there nothing for you to do? |
30954 | It wasn''t"--he faltered--"it was n''t because you were dissatisfied with me?" |
30954 | It''s what you call Pythagoreanism, is n''t it? |
30954 | Jim watched her go and shook his head; he looked miserably old and ill."What is it now?" |
30954 | Looks as if he had brought her here on purpose, do n''t it? |
30954 | Loudon?" |
30954 | Money was undoubtedly to be made, or why should so many vessels cruise about the islands? |
30954 | My dear sir, what is your name?" |
30954 | My heart sank; perhaps my idiotic jest had indeed driven him away; and again I asked myself,"Why?" |
30954 | Nares?'' |
30954 | No advance on fifty thousand? |
30954 | No advance, gentlemen? |
30954 | No other gentleman inclined to make any advance? |
30954 | No? |
30954 | Not here? |
30954 | Number two was in a different style:--"MY DEAREST LOUDON,--How am I to prepare you for this dire intelligence? |
30954 | O my dear laddie, why were nae you and Davie here? |
30954 | Of course, Loudon, you''ll dine with me later on?" |
30954 | Or was it really the eye, and not rather the heart, that identified the shadow in the dusk, among the shoreside lamps? |
30954 | Perhaps, sir, you would n''t mind going right up to Mr. Denman? |
30954 | Presently Pinkerton scribbled,"What can it be?" |
30954 | Really?" |
30954 | Schooners are begging just now; I can get my pick of them at two hundred and fifty a month; and how does that foot up? |
30954 | Sebright?" |
30954 | See? |
30954 | See?" |
30954 | Sell much of it? |
30954 | She might have been too far gone; and where would I have been? |
30954 | Should I ring up at once? |
30954 | Sometimes he would appeal to one of the men--"That was how it was, Jack?" |
30954 | Son of Big Head Dodd? |
30954 | Speedy, that I can send you to the penitentiary?" |
30954 | Stood by you, and all that? |
30954 | Suppose Bellairs had given me the slip? |
30954 | Suppose he was now rolling on the road to Stallbridge- le- Carthew? |
30954 | Suppose you tried a big bluff? |
30954 | That''s the name? |
30954 | The Irrepressible, did I say? |
30954 | The large desk( to resume our survey of the office) stood about the middle, knee- deep in stacks of handbills and posters of"Why Drink French Brandy?" |
30954 | The thing for you to consider is just this, Am I to deal with you or direct with your principal? |
30954 | Theology? |
30954 | This sort of thing has to be done strictly, or where''s the use?" |
30954 | Urquart?" |
30954 | Very handsome, and, as you say, very just; but will you allow me to say that it had better, perhaps, be put in black and white?" |
30954 | Walking this way, Mr. Dodd? |
30954 | Was he an author of distinction? |
30954 | Was he trembling for his certificate? |
30954 | Was it the result of recent shock, and had he not yet recovered the disaster to his brig? |
30954 | Was the wreck worth more than we supposed? |
30954 | We''ve got six lives to save, and a pot of money; and the point is, where are we to take''em?" |
30954 | Well, at each place, what is it? |
30954 | Well, come, call it a dollar?" |
30954 | Well, what is this? |
30954 | Well, where is the boat Trent lowered when he lost the hands?" |
30954 | Well, why you no savvy a little sooner, sonny?" |
30954 | What are we to do about the_ Flying Scud_ and the dime novel?" |
30954 | What can I do for you?" |
30954 | What could it mean? |
30954 | What could that mean? |
30954 | What could they make of it?" |
30954 | What did you accuse me of?" |
30954 | What did you-- what did Nares expect to gain by burning her?" |
30954 | What do they care for a ship or two? |
30954 | What do they care for sailors''lives alongside of a few thousand dollars? |
30954 | What do you mean by sacrifice?" |
30954 | What does it mean?" |
30954 | What had he done? |
30954 | What have you done? |
30954 | What if I had been right? |
30954 | What if my childish pleasantry had frightened the principal away, and thus destroyed our chance? |
30954 | What is it?" |
30954 | What is that?" |
30954 | What kind of an accident?" |
30954 | What kind of mercy did you have on that Gilbert merchant?" |
30954 | What mischief was he up to now? |
30954 | What new bowl was my benignant monster brewing for his Frankenstein? |
30954 | What other name?" |
30954 | What port are you to sail for?" |
30954 | What shall it be? |
30954 | What ship is that?" |
30954 | What vessel was this_ Leslie_, anyhow?" |
30954 | What was his name, out of a thousand guesses? |
30954 | What was the charge?" |
30954 | What was the use of words? |
30954 | What was the value of a lay? |
30954 | What would my father think of it? |
30954 | What''arm does the aristocracy do? |
30954 | What''s algebra?" |
30954 | What''s that to me? |
30954 | What''s wrong? |
30954 | What''s your figure? |
30954 | What? |
30954 | When had a young man been more derided( or more justly so) than the god of my admiration, Balzac? |
30954 | Where else would bankers and merchants have received his visits, cashed his cheques, and submitted to his small assessments? |
30954 | Where else would even the people of the streets have respected the poor soul''s illusion? |
30954 | Where else would he have been suffered to attend and address the exhibition days of schools and colleges? |
30954 | Where else, in God''s green earth, have taken his pick of restaurants, ransacked the bill of fare, and departed scatheless? |
30954 | Where had he gone? |
30954 | Where had my shyster wandered? |
30954 | Where was his culture? |
30954 | Where were all his generous, progressive sentiments? |
30954 | Where''s Hoyt?" |
30954 | Where''s the mate? |
30954 | Who are you?" |
30954 | Who can this person be? |
30954 | Who cares whether I smiled or not?" |
30954 | Who could doubt we were the usual Americans, travelling with a design of self- improvement? |
30954 | Who could it be? |
30954 | Who has a better right to a holiday than I have? |
30954 | Who is that?" |
30954 | Who was to guess that one was a black- mailer, trembling to approach the scene of action-- the other a helpless, amateur detective, waiting on events? |
30954 | Why did we bust so soon? |
30954 | Why do n''t you play for the lump sum?" |
30954 | Why do we never come across Elias Goddedaal?" |
30954 | Why not come with me?" |
30954 | Why not go indeed, and keep a watch upon Bellairs? |
30954 | Why prolong it? |
30954 | Why, look here,"he went on,"you''re a young swell, are n''t you? |
30954 | Will you allow me to express an opinion, in which I may be quite wrong, but to which I am entirely wedded? |
30954 | Would you like to be left here in the chicken- ranch? |
30954 | You do n''t call it American to treat men like dogs?" |
30954 | You think me weak? |
30954 | You''re to take the_ Norah Creina_ to Midway Island, break up a wreck, call at Honolulu, and back to this port? |
30954 | You''ve got a brig, to be sure, and what use is she? |
30954 | Your partner, Mr. Dodd? |
30954 | Your presence on this ship has no connection with our interview?" |
30954 | ai n''t that good enough to fetch a fleet? |
30954 | and pulled you through for all he was worth?" |
30954 | and who was_ Go- eath_? |
30954 | asked Carthew,"what are they?" |
30954 | born to be enthroned under the gilded, echoing dome of the new capitol, whither was she now to drift? |
30954 | come by that second chest, with which( according to the clerk at the What Cheer) he had started for Honolulu? |
30954 | cried Carthew;"Brown, where are you?" |
30954 | cried Hadden,"how do you mean to manage? |
30954 | cried Havens--"that about the opium and the wreck, and the black- mailing, and the man who became your friend?" |
30954 | cried Nares,"you savvy plenty, do you? |
30954 | for what base purposes be ultimately broken up, like an unseaworthy ship? |
30954 | he cried sharply; and then to Wicks:"What''s that? |
30954 | he cried, not unkindly,"is this to be run shipshape? |
30954 | he cried,"are you the man in the telephone?" |
30954 | he cried; and then, somewhat recovered,"Mr. Pinkerton''s partner, I believe? |
30954 | he thought,"am I gambling again?" |
30954 | honest?" |
30954 | how do you know I think it a favour?" |
30954 | how he came with his men, one of them a Kanaka with a canary- bird in a cage? |
30954 | is it insurance? |
30954 | is it piracy? |
30954 | is n''t all speculation a risk? |
30954 | or is it a Dutch grab- racket?" |
30954 | or perhaps there already and laying before a very white- laced auditor his threats and propositions? |
30954 | or shall I start another?'' |
30954 | or, like me, does he give it up? |
30954 | or, with withering scorn,"Not know Mr. Dodd of the picnics? |
30954 | or,"I say, am I alone in this blame''ship? |
30954 | quoi?_"cried he, relapsing into French. |
30954 | resumed that gentleman, plainly ogling Pinkerton,--"what shall we say for this remarkable opportunity?" |
30954 | said I, gasping and winking after my first plunge into this fiery fluid;"and what does''Warranted Entire''mean?" |
30954 | said Jim;"and so this is what you call rushing around?" |
30954 | says Jim,"this is Captain Nares, is it? |
30954 | she cried,"am I really like that? |
30954 | stolen the chest before he proceeded to ship under a false name and domicile? |
30954 | what can it be_ for_?" |
30954 | what do you mean by this?" |
30954 | what is it_ about_? |
30954 | what is that honour?" |
30954 | what would it matter what you did or did n''t? |
30954 | where was I to find the ingenuity? |
30954 | why go on with this?" |
30954 | why seek to explain to Pinkerton the knotted horrors of"Americo- Parisienne"? |
30954 | you may ask, and why am I gone Soft Tommy on this Museum of Crooks? |
