48313Nobody hurt, I hope?
48313Not know your own name? 48313 Not your name?"
48313Now, how much should you say a fellow would probably get for one of this sort?
48313Of course not,said Phaeton;"but what can you do without Es?

48313Something you want me to furnish money to make a muddle of, I suppose?
48313Soup, or bread- and- milk, for every meal?

48313The Bowl System? 48313 The Es are gone?"
48313The kind-- they-- stuff?
48313The question is, are you going to put up the money?
48313The question is, what_ is_ best?
48313Then I suppose you could help yourself to all the capital you want, out of the bowl?
48313Then it has n''t brought you much good luck, so far, has it?
48313Then what in the world is it? 48313 Then what will you do with the fifteen dollars?"
48313Then why did n''t you say so in the first place?
48313Then why did n''t you tell us that before?
48313Then you know something about it?
48313Then you think he will get well?
48313Then, what must we do?
48313These poems?--were you going to publish them?
48313Those look well, do n''t they?
48313To prevent them from burning?
48313Was he?
48313Was it?
48313Was n''t it, Jimmy?
48313Was there a full account of the other ceremonies at that wedding?
48313Well, then, tell us honestly,said Ned,--"where would you introduce it first?
48313Well, then, what do you think is the next best place?
48313Well, then, what''s this?
48313Well, what then?

48313Why, do n''t you know?
48313Why, do n''t you know?
48313Why, is that all it''s for?
48313Why, what''s the matter?
48313Why?
48313Why?
48313Will it make us a fortune apiece?
48313Will you lend me the money to try it?
48313Will you make those? 48313 Would n''t some people oppose it?"
48313Would you be willing to look at another invention for us?
48313Would, eh?
48313Y- e- s,said Phaeton, with a deep sigh;"and is_ that_ all?"
48313Yes, of course it is,said I;"but what does it mean?"
48313Yes, of course-- why?
48313Yes; but why were they allowed to do so?
48313Yes; why? 48313 You admit that it was bad, then?"
48313You can make money on a book, ca n''t you?
48313You do n''t even know the case, do you?
48313You go up to the couple, and shake hands, and if you''re a girl you kiss the bride-- What did you say? 48313 You mean to let her know that it''s Phaeton''s invention, and not yours?"
48313You?
48313--but"Who rides first?"
48313A new invention?"
48313And besides, what would become of you and Ned?
48313And how do you suppose I am going to print for you, unless I know what to print?"
48313And if there was a mortgage on our tunnel, and they foreclosed it while we were in there, what would become of us?
48313And who would n''t rather have a volume of Jimmy''s poems than a bushel of wheat?
48313And who''s ever going to sit in such awkward- looking old things as those?"
48313Another foolish invention?"
48313Are you going to take a pistol?"
48313But after we''ve left the horse in the pasture, how are we to get back past the dog?"
48313But did none of you call for Miss Glidden?"
48313But how came you to know that about Fay and Jimmy and Holman?"
48313But what of it?"
48313But what of that?
48313But, by the way, Fay, what are you going to do with the twenty dollars you''ve won?
48313Ca n''t you tell them to get Dr. Campbell?
48313Do n''t you know me?"
48313Do n''t you see the paint peeling off already?"
48313Do n''t you understand?
48313Do poets ever repair poetry, as well as make it new?"
48313Do you suppose anything can have happened to him?"
48313Do you think Jimmy''s croaking artery will have to be tied up, Jack?
48313Do you think of any good way in which I could help him with a little capital?"
48313Have n''t you ever noticed that the smaller and snarlier and more worthless a dog is, the surer it is to be called Prince?"
48313Have you given out many of these cards?"
48313Have you made a muddle yet?"
48313How are you?
48313How does he suppose he''s going to make men of us, if we never begin to do anything manly?"
48313How should we ever get out?"
48313How''s that?"
48313However, he soon plucked up courage, and said, with a roguish twinkle:"Mother, will you please lend me two dollars of my money?"
48313I observed that he wore a broad belt of red leather, on which was inscribed the legend: WE HAVE CAN AND WILL"Monkey,"said I,"what''s that?"
48313I suppose you both know what a mortar is?"
48313Is n''t there some way to make more money out of it?"
48313Is this the manuscript?"
48313Of course it was_ totus dexter_,--and who''s the boy that uses that classic expression?
48313Or would you go slow, and try it first in this town, on a rather small scale?"
48313Rogers''before, were you?"
48313Still, I was comforted that he had not merely said,"Who rides?"
48313Suppose he has n''t any show, and never will have one-- what of it?
48313Suppose you came to the five mechanical powers, and the line before ended with_ sticks_, what could you do?
48313This excited a laugh of derision from another, who inquired whether the man with the fine, clear eye"did n''t know a pipe from a chube?"
48313What do you suppose could have become of the Es?"
48313What doctor do they have?"
48313What does this mean?"
48313What odds?
48313What sort of a railroad would that be?"
48313What then?
48313What then?
48313What will you take?"
48313What''s that?"
48313What''s the harm in that?"
