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	Father, father,_ do_ you call Miles brave and noble now?

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?
