4359 | After joint stock banking was permitted in the country, people began to inquire why it should not exist in the Metropolis too? |
4359 | And at first it is natural to ask why should everybody, or almost everybody, be well off together? |
4359 | And then the plain problem before the great dealers comes to be''How shall we best protect ourselves? |

4359 | At the present moment how much reserve do you say the Bank of England should keep? |
4359 | B. as good as he used to be? |

61081 | Who are these two nuts, anyway?" |
61081 | Who are you?" |
61081 | Will you come right over?" |

18981 | A letter-- you have a letter from a lawyer then, and with you? |
18981 | A week? |
18981 | About how much did this sudden and surprising inheritance amount to, Richard? |
18981 | An accident, Richard? |
18981 | And a half then? |
18981 | And about this boy-- what will you do? |
18981 | And what day do you mean-- the time he brought the securities over, and it fell to your lot to place them in the vault? |
18981 | And what have you decided, Dick? 18981 Are you in the habit of corresponding with anyone in Boston, Richard?" |
18981 | But he did not happen to think of it? |
18981 | But he didn''t-- don''t tell me he said_ I_ was a failure? |
18981 | But he handled the packet, you admit? |
18981 | But the position that was open to me here, with a chance to rise? |
18981 | But what are you doing inside the railing now? |
18981 | But who put this here-- a lady''s handkerchief, too? 18981 But why should he, mother? |
18981 | By the way, Mr. Goodwyn, do n''t you think it would be wise to have this packet placed in the safe right away? 18981 Can you take these notices with you, Dick?" |
18981 | Curtains-- shade-- where was this? |
18981 | Did you ever hear of such a marvelous coincidence in your life, Goodwyn? 18981 Did you see that packet again after that?" |
18981 | Do you mean with Mr. Cartwright, sir? |
18981 | Do you really think he has found them? |
18981 | Do you think they''ll send for Mr. Graylock, then? |
18981 | Do you think we could fix it with a rail lashed under the axle? 18981 Do you wish to ask me anything more, sir?" |
18981 | From the lawyer you engaged to look up that company? |
18981 | Good news, Dick, guess what it is? |
18981 | Have you this letter? |
18981 | How d''ye do, Dick? 18981 How do you mean, Richard?" |
18981 | How much was that? |
18981 | If he did n''t take the securities, then who did? |
18981 | If that letter could be found on the meadow somewhere, and brought to you, sir, would it help clear me in your eyes? |
18981 | Is your father going with you? |
18981 | It''s you, is it, Dick? 18981 Just how?" |
18981 | Madam, is what your son tells me true? |
18981 | Meaning whom, Richard? |
18981 | My name? |
18981 | Not for sale, young man, when your mother came to me and begged me to take it off her hands? 18981 Not the resumption of paying dividends by that company?" |
18981 | Not two, Dick? |
18981 | Richard, have you noticed Mr. Graylock around this morning; he has not been in the bank, but you have gone out several times, I believe? |
18981 | Say, is n''t that great? 18981 Served him just right-- three dollars a week, eh? |
18981 | Still, there is no fear of the company going to smash, is there, so that you would lose all you have invested there? |
18981 | Take hold of it, Richard; tell me does it seem quite as full as when I first placed it in your hands? |
18981 | Then I am not discharged, sir? |
18981 | Then you do n''t blame me for thinking such a thing, sir? 18981 Then you expect to go away?" |
18981 | Was this the package I gave you? |
18981 | Well, boy, what do you want here? |
18981 | Well, what is it? |
18981 | What did I tell you, mamma? |
18981 | What did I tell you, son? |
18981 | What did you think, Richard; tell me? |
18981 | What do you mean, my son? |
18981 | What has happened to make you feel badly, mother? |
18981 | What is the matter-- have you had an accident, son? |
18981 | What news? |
18981 | What wages do you pay, in case you needed anyone, and I applied for the job? |
18981 | What was it you were about to say, Dick? |
18981 | What would Mr. Graylock do with the papers in case he did take them out of the envelope that day? |
18981 | What''s this, a lady''s soft handkerchief, with an initial in the corner-- B; now that stands for Bessie, eh? |
18981 | What, me? 18981 What? |
18981 | What_ are_ you here for anyway? |
18981 | Where are ye goin''fishin'', son? |
18981 | Where away, Dick? |
18981 | Where were you when the letter was snatched out of your hand by the wind? |
18981 | Who brought me into the conversation first? |
18981 | Who''s this boy, Payson? |
18981 | Why, that''s the bank examiner, is n''t it? 18981 Will you put in a good word for me, then, Charlie?" |
18981 | With the securities still on the table? |
18981 | Wo n''t you go home with me to get dried out, Dick? |
18981 | Wonder if Bessie would know me with my old regimentals on? 18981 Yes, and what did she say?" |
18981 | You found it, then? |
18981 | You wo n''t say anything to a living soul? |
18981 | Ai n''t it just bully? |
18981 | All right, who cares? |
18981 | And do you imagine I can stand it right along? |
18981 | And you say, Mr. Winslow that he took to the idea at once?" |
18981 | And you used to catch bass there that far back? |
18981 | Anything else?" |
18981 | Archibald Graylock& Son, wo n''t look half bad, eh? |
18981 | But how can anybody get into his house to find them? |
18981 | But what can you do to prove the truth? |
18981 | But, Mr. Winslow, could a man do such a thing? |
18981 | CHAPTER X THE MEETING IN THE BANK"Am I right in assuming that you are looking for a position, Richard?" |
18981 | Can you give me a hand, Dick, or are you in a hurry?" |
18981 | Can you go to work to- day, Richard? |
18981 | Can you guess who it was?" |
18981 | Can you start to work at once, Richard?" |
18981 | Could it be that he was having troubles financially? |
18981 | Dick put his hand in his pocket and drawing it out, said:"Guess how much for my morning''s catch?" |
18981 | Did their beautiful home burn down-- what a pity that would be? |
18981 | Did you ever hear of such luck, and just when it looked as if we were near the bottom of the heap, too? |
18981 | Do you happen to know how business is just now, and whether the bank has need of any more help? |
18981 | Do you know I can telegraph to that office and discover the truth?" |
18981 | Do you suppose he will be arrested and made to produce the missing documents, son?" |
18981 | Do you think I do n''t notice it? |
18981 | Getting along all right in the bank? |
18981 | Gibbs?" |
18981 | Got a steady job?" |
18981 | Graylock?" |
18981 | Graylock?" |
18981 | Graylock?" |
18981 | Have a chair, wo n''t you?" |
18981 | Have you found them, sir; were they mislaid; or did some one in your employ take them after all, so that you feel disposed to make their loss good?" |
18981 | Have you had a letter?" |
18981 | How could so humble a personage as the bank messenger boy have anything to do with the financial standing of a big merchant like Mr. Graylock? |
18981 | How d''ye suppose I''m ever going to lug that heavy thing back up to the road now?" |
18981 | I can trust you to perform this service promptly, Richard, can I not?" |
18981 | I had nothing to do with it, and never even touched his old motor- cycle until I offered to help him get it out of the ditch? |
18981 | I understand that you have already been making a start in that line?" |
18981 | I understand?" |
18981 | I wanted to ask you about that affair up at old Gibbs''place; they say you saved Bessie''s life?" |
18981 | In what way could I attempt to dispose of such things, since I have never been out of Riverview in all my life? |
18981 | Is it the ripple just back o''Banker Gibbs''place?" |
18981 | Is this so, boy?" |
18981 | Just how long do you think you were in there on that occasion, Richard?" |
18981 | Morrison, what are you doing here? |
18981 | Mr. Cheever-- isn''t that his real name, and he a bank examiner?" |
18981 | No more unexpected fortunes dropping down out of the skies, eh?" |
18981 | Now, tell me just why you thought anything about it, boy?" |
18981 | Now, what is it you want to tell me, and in what way can I give you advice? |
18981 | Perhaps he may turn out better than we think, who knows?" |
18981 | Richard, you may go-- but stay, what is this? |
18981 | Shall we call it a go, madam?" |
18981 | She would only worry about it, and what''s the use? |
18981 | So, that was what had happened, was it? |
18981 | There is really no tangible evidence that he took the securities, sir; you must admit that it is only suspicion as yet with you?" |
18981 | Was it Charles who had done this-- could it be possible that the boasting one really did have more or less influence with the president? |
18981 | What a Paradise we can make of our dear home in time, eh, Dick?" |
18981 | What a day this had been, the evil mingled with the good; would he ever forget it as long as he lived? |
18981 | What are the hours here?" |
18981 | What did Mr. Graylock say to that, Pliny?" |
18981 | What did it mean? |
18981 | What do you suppose father would have done to him if he had been alive? |
18981 | What does he care if your mother''s heart were broken by the fact of her boy being accused of this deed? |
18981 | What new danger have you been in now?" |
18981 | What on earth interest could he have in the matter at all? |
18981 | What you thinking about now? |
18981 | Who could be cheerful under such conditions? |
18981 | Why did you jump off when by a twist of the handlebars you could have saved the machine? |
18981 | Why should that be? |
18981 | Why should this be? |
18981 | Will you get after that company and force them to begin paying dividends again? |
18981 | Winslow?" |
18981 | Winslow?" |
18981 | Wo n''t you accept this, please? |
18981 | Would a dollar and a quarter a day satisfy you, son? |
18981 | Would he be able to discover anything there? |
18981 | You could not accuse him of it openly? |
18981 | You do n''t want to sell it, the house father built?" |
18981 | You know I told you all about that trouble at the time, mother?" |
18981 | You seem to have had good success in fishing?" |
18981 | You will ask for Mr. Jones, and he can put you to work?" |
18981 | You will not hesitate to tell him everything he wishes to know, will you?" |
18981 | [ Illustration:"CAN YOU GIVE ME A HAND, DICK, OR ARE YOU IN A HURRY?" |
18981 | _ you?_"cried Ferd, hardly able to believe his ears,"impossible!" |
18981 | are you sure you are not badly burned, dearest, are you positive?" |
18981 | come into some money? |
18981 | he is, eh? |
18981 | how did it happen, my child? |
18981 | what''s that mean?" |
18981 | you noticed that, did you? |
38472 | Alibi? |
38472 | And after that do you remember the race for two- year- olds, and my theory that in an untried field the odds were all against the favorites winning? 38472 And what sized lots,"he asked,"are you going to trade in?" |
38472 | And what was the first requisite for their plan? 38472 And what was the other paper he spoke of?" |
38472 | And wheat,queried Brooks,"will go up?" |
38472 | Anything else? |
38472 | Are you all right? |
38472 | Are you sure you have the right name? |
38472 | Before you leave? |
38472 | Blagden,he gasped,"what can we do?" |
38472 | Blagden,said Mills solemnly,"do you care to know my genuine, sincere opinion of life in general?" |
38472 | But how do I know,he objected,"when you will be going out there again?" |
38472 | But how does she know,queried Mills,"that there is any secret? |
38472 | But is it right,asked Decency,"to send someone else where you would not venture yourself?" |
38472 | But why so eager about money? |
38472 | Can you grasp it? 38472 Charming?" |
38472 | Could I forget? 38472 Did you have any trouble getting away?" |
38472 | Did you tell me in the cafà © you had a clew? |
38472 | Do n''t you see? 38472 Do you deny that you would like to marry Miss Hamilton?" |
38472 | Do you know Billy? |
38472 | Forgotten them? |
38472 | Good,was his brief comment; then added in a tone that was half a statement, half a query,"You''re not a professional chauffeur?" |
38472 | Got a cigarette? |
38472 | Have n''t you any way of finding out? |
38472 | Have you made up your mind to that? |
38472 | How do you know it is n''t? |
38472 | How far will cotton decline? |
38472 | How''s Liverpool? |
38472 | Hullo, Jim,he hailed,"how are you? |
38472 | I hope so,said Mills somewhat dubiously,"but ought n''t we to wait a while longer? |
38472 | If he seemed to be a pretty smooth proposition, why do n''t you go in with him? 38472 If it''s necessary to see you again,"whispered Blagden,"what is your boat, and when does she sail?" |
38472 | If you were only allowed to play every week or two, and in a very limited way, and under the direction of another person, would that satisfy you? 38472 Is he better?" |
38472 | Is n''t that right, boys? |
38472 | Is there any hope? |
38472 | Mr. Bellingham,he asked earnestly,"do you imagine, sir, that this is true?" |
38472 | Now who the dickens,he wondered,"can that be? |
38472 | Now,she said,"is n''t it wonderful?" |
38472 | Oh, pretty good,the chubby one answered, and pushing the bill of fare toward Atherton, he added,"Here, what will you have? |
38472 | Oh, thanks,retorted Mills with unwonted asperity,"why do n''t you try it yourself? |
38472 | Oh, was n''t it splendid? |
38472 | Oh, well,Blagden retorted,"what do you expect? |
38472 | One moment, Cyrus,he said courteously,"may I interrupt you?" |
38472 | Prevented me from losing? |
38472 | Quit? |
38472 | Satisfactory references? |
38472 | Shall I remain here, sir? |
38472 | Shall we tell him, Tubby? |
38472 | So you know her? |
38472 | That sounds fine,Mills agreed,"but what kind of adventures are we going to have?" |
38472 | The others will be here? |
38472 | The question is,she said slowly,"what can you do best?" |
38472 | Then you know,he said at length,"what the burglary was for?" |
38472 | Then you think they''ll rally? |
38472 | Then you''ll do it? |
38472 | Was it in stocks? |
38472 | Well, Jock,asked Bellingham,"how did Mr. Hamilton come out with Mr. McKay? |
38472 | Well, well,Blagden greeted him,"how goes it, old scout?" |
38472 | Well, what do you know? |
38472 | Well,asked Mr. Hamilton,"how do you find him?" |
38472 | Well,he queried,"what seems to be the big idea?" |
38472 | Well,she queried,"do you believe me now?" |
38472 | What could you have done? |
38472 | What did he call it? 38472 What do you mean by that?" |
38472 | What do you think of''em? |
38472 | What the devil''s happened? |
38472 | What the hell is this? |
38472 | What''s a good stock to sell? |
38472 | What''s up? |
38472 | Where did you say you were going to trade? |
38472 | Where''s this friend of yours? 38472 Who is it?" |
38472 | Would you be kind enough, Marshall,he asked,"to read to us once more the statement showing our profits for the year?" |
38472 | You need hardly have asked me that? |
38472 | You saw it? |
38472 | You''re a good driver? |
38472 | You''re not forgetting our golf? |
38472 | ''The United Brotherhood of Down and Outs''? |
38472 | ''The holy of holies''?" |
38472 | After all we''ve been through? |
38472 | Again his hearers signified assent, and Bellingham, lowering his voice, continued,"Then what is the answer? |
38472 | And after a pause, he added,"How could this man have known? |
38472 | And are you happy?" |
38472 | And at length, summoning all his courage, he asked,"If I should ask you a truthful question, would you give me a truthful answer?" |
38472 | And besides, what does he gain? |
38472 | And every so often he will say,''Would you like some pin money?'' |
38472 | And how has Fortune treated you? |
38472 | And if they were n''t on the links, where were they? |
38472 | And is he the only one, or will others come to tempt their destiny?" |
38472 | And the second is, no matter where they were, what on earth were they doing?" |
38472 | And then without wasting words, he added,"Why? |
38472 | And what in the world is he after? |
38472 | And with a deep- drawn breath she added imploringly,"Oh, is n''t there anything that you can do?" |
38472 | And yet, reasoning from what we know, is n''t this the very time to be suspicious?" |
38472 | Any adventure?" |
38472 | Anything doing?" |
38472 | Are we to understand that in the event of a decline in the market, you stand ready to deposit additional sums as we may require them?" |
38472 | Are you at liberty this evening?" |
38472 | Are you going up to him to ask the time of day, and then will you grab it and run? |
38472 | Are you long or short?" |
38472 | Are you willing to do that?" |
38472 | As long as I keep my ten point margin good, why should you worry?" |
38472 | At once he stepped forward, and asked,"Beg pardon, but may I help you?" |
38472 | Atherton?" |
38472 | But all I''m wondering is, how much lower will they go? |
38472 | But for what purpose had he climbed the tree? |
38472 | But how is all this going to make us rich? |
38472 | But how, at this hour of the morning, was he to make his way to Bellingham''s room? |
38472 | But on the level, Mr. Bellingham, do n''t it beat hell? |
38472 | But the answer is: What''s the use? |
38472 | But what''s the answer? |
38472 | But why do you say that you''desire more?'' |
38472 | By cable? |
38472 | By the way, what''s your name?" |
38472 | Can you make anything out of his figures?" |
38472 | Could the man be a burglar, with a confederate working in the house? |
38472 | Did the whole world know his secret? |
38472 | Do I make myself clear?" |
38472 | Do n''t you understand? |
38472 | Do you believe in God?" |
38472 | Do you believe it?" |
38472 | Do you care for him?" |
38472 | Do you fellows believe it, or do n''t you?" |
38472 | Do you get the idea?" |
38472 | Do you know her, Atherton?" |
38472 | Do you mind letting me tell you what they are?" |
38472 | Do you remember that?" |
38472 | Do you talk about a war between a boa- constrictor and a rabbit?" |
38472 | Do you want this one?" |
38472 | Do you want to drive me there?" |
38472 | Does he make his profits in the same way that a conjuror extracts rabbits from a hat?" |
38472 | Does it appear to be a kind of magic? |
38472 | Easy? |
38472 | For what purpose, and to whom? |
38472 | Gentleman friend? |
38472 | Had you forgotten?" |
38472 | Has it occurred to your pure and youthful mind that the events of last night may have some bearing oh the situation?" |
38472 | Have we been temperance advocates, preachers of the Gospel, haters of women? |
38472 | Have you any real reason for thinking the market is n''t going up?" |
38472 | Have you lived as you planned to live?" |
38472 | Honestly now, can you beat it?" |
38472 | How about it, Tubby; you would n''t do that?" |
38472 | How about that?" |
38472 | How about you, Tubby? |
38472 | How are we going to get our money back?" |
38472 | How can they connect us with him?" |
38472 | How did you get along with the lovely lady? |
38472 | How do you account for that?" |
38472 | How had he come to play this game? |
38472 | How had he dared, he wondered-- how did any of them dare-- to speculate in stocks? |
38472 | How is it with you?" |
38472 | How long, he wondered, had he been dreaming? |
38472 | How much longer do you stay as chauffeur?" |
38472 | How on earth does he stand it? |
38472 | How then will they communicate? |
38472 | I should like nothing so much as a fresh start, but can I get it? |
38472 | I suppose he won, did n''t he?" |
38472 | If I had met you six months ago, where would I be to- day? |
38472 | If a good God ruled the world, why did he implant these fierce desires in the breasts of his children? |
38472 | If she''s got such a good thing-- the tips, I mean, not the gentleman friend-- why is n''t she satisfied? |
38472 | If we knew just what was going to happen to us, every day of our lives, where would the fun be? |
38472 | In spite of himself, Mills felt as if the blood had ceased flowing in his veins, and his voice sounded thick and strained as he cried,"What''s this? |
38472 | In the face of such a showing, do you maintain with seriousness that we may be termed ultra- conservative?" |
38472 | In what possible way, after the strict precaution of years, had he and his associates thus betrayed themselves, or been betrayed? |
38472 | Is Miss Hamilton engaged to be married, or anything like that?" |
38472 | Is he rich?" |
38472 | Is n''t that perfect? |
38472 | Is n''t that so?" |
38472 | Is n''t that stretching things beyond all reason?" |
38472 | Is n''t that the long and short of it?" |
38472 | Is n''t there some way, Blagden, by which I could go along the roofs and down by some other exit?" |
38472 | Is she really so charming?" |
38472 | Mr. McKay keeps his clubs in the machine, does n''t he?" |
38472 | Mr. McKay on the links?" |
38472 | Murderers, are n''t we? |
38472 | No hard feeling, Blagden?" |
38472 | Nolan rose at once, and as soon as they were safely out of earshot, Bellingham continued,"Look here, Jim, do you want to make some easy money?" |
38472 | Now then, you fat guzzler, is n''t that fair?" |
38472 | Now what is the sense in that? |
38472 | Of course he''s a nervous wreck now, but who would n''t be? |
38472 | Oh, and by the way,"he added, as the butler rose to go,"would you mind telephoning Saunders to saddle the bay mare? |
38472 | Or is that too severe?" |
38472 | See what''s happened to him now; do you suppose either of us is going to run into anything like that?" |
38472 | Shall I tell him that you are here?" |
38472 | So I ask you again, why the devil are you so afraid of his being harmed?" |
38472 | So on the whole, Atherton, do n''t you think you''d better withdraw your opposition, and let us go ahead?" |
38472 | So what the devil does it all mean, anyway?" |
38472 | Some fool joke?" |
38472 | Suppose a hundred men start speculating on the same day? |
38472 | Surely not the Law?" |
38472 | Telegraph? |
38472 | Telephone? |
38472 | That fortunes are made over night? |
38472 | That settles number one; what''s number two?" |
38472 | That''s conservative, is n''t it?" |
38472 | That''s what the girl told me; do n''t you remember? |
38472 | The lovely lady is interested in stocks and she has a-- what is the technical word in such cases-- friend, is n''t it? |
38472 | The point is: What are we going to do next? |
38472 | Then Atherton asked, still unbelievingly,"But why does she confide in you? |
38472 | Then Blagden cried, triumphantly,"Did n''t I tell you fellows the truth? |
38472 | Then comes the question: Are they going to win? |
38472 | Then why, he reflected, should a person wish to climb a tree at this time of night? |
38472 | Then, impelled by mere curiosity, he added,"Which is it this time, Martin? |
38472 | Then, turning to Atherton, he asked,"How about you? |
38472 | Then, yielding to a fleeting impulse, he added,"Where are you keeping the car now? |
38472 | There was silence for a moment; then Blagden continued earnestly,"Tubby, if we are right, can you imagine what this is going to mean? |
38472 | There''s no double cross to this? |
38472 | To keep some kind of a watch, or lookout? |
38472 | To signal? |
38472 | Under such conditions, would you use bait?" |
38472 | Was his whole life an open book? |
38472 | Was it a real adventure?" |
38472 | Was it fair? |
38472 | We might have the knowledge but would we dare to use it?" |
38472 | Were n''t you scared?" |
38472 | What are we going to do? |
38472 | What are we then? |
38472 | What day is this? |
38472 | What did they know of real conditions throughout the world? |
38472 | What do you say, Atherton? |
38472 | What do you say, Tubby? |
38472 | What do you say?" |
38472 | What do you suppose that means?" |
38472 | What does the Bible say? |
38472 | What handicap does Mr. Bellingham give you now?" |
38472 | What on earth shall I do? |
38472 | What shall we call ourselves? |
38472 | What''s he going to be doing? |
38472 | What''s his life to you? |
38472 | What''s that?" |
38472 | What''s wrong?" |
38472 | What''s your opinion?" |
38472 | When shall we meet again?" |
38472 | Where can I get hold of you if I want you? |
38472 | Where does it come from?" |
38472 | Where is Martin?" |
38472 | Where would be the romance, the thrill? |
38472 | Who is this owner? |
38472 | Whom do you designate as this owner of the stream? |
38472 | Why did he change a world of joy and beauty into a hell of discontent? |
38472 | Why did n''t you sell me a gold brick and be done with it? |
38472 | Why did she pick out the one impossible story in the world? |
38472 | Why do you ask?" |
38472 | Why does she tell_ you_ her troubles?" |
38472 | Why on earth ca n''t anyone beat it? |
38472 | Why should he escape? |
38472 | Will you remain neutral, and let Tubby and myself go ahead with this plan ourselves?" |
38472 | You could n''t see a man to- night until he was right on top of you-- My God, what''s that?" |
38472 | You have n''t forgotten those?" |
38472 | You think, then, that he speculates with some sort of system?" |
38472 | You''re not going to leak to the bulls?" |
38472 | he asked anxiously,"Are they going lower?" |
38472 | he cried, and advancing toward Mills, he demanded truculently,"What the devil are you doing here?" |
38472 | he exclaimed,"do you mean you''re going to stop now? |
38472 | she cried,"we are not talking of costumes; what do they matter? |
60029 | Let me ask the 25,000 individual independent banks of America, what they would do when the day of contraction and refusal came? 60029 Madison interposed:''Will it not be sufficient to prohibit the making''the bills''a tender''? |
60029 | The question before the Convention was: Shall power be granted to the legislature of the United States''to emit bills of credit''? 60029 What is it that we most need? |
60029 | Am I correct in my understanding of the difference of cost upon these two forms of currency? |
60029 | Am I correct? |
60029 | And again he writes:"Why should a bank keep any reserve? |
60029 | And are we now to do something possibly more than stupid when we are naturally, even in defiance of law, as we have seen, finding our way out? |
60029 | And it worked in New England under the Suffolk system with 500 individual independent banks-- why wo n''t it work here? |
60029 | And where are we going to in the Clearing House matter? |
60029 | Are not these reserves large enough to meet all emergencies? |
60029 | Are you not convinced that it is not money at all, but a mere debt of Uncle Sam and that it is a mere demand for One Dollar in gold, and nothing more? |
60029 | Are you ready to report now? |
60029 | At what price? |
60029 | But after all, is it not the very soul of the whole question? |
60029 | But is it so? |
60029 | But what I want to know now is how many of these meal tickets I''ve got out in one form or another? |
60029 | But what have you to say about this National Bank Note here? |
60029 | But who can estimate the indirect losses or depict the consequences of these bank failures? |
60029 | But why should Boston be favored? |
60029 | But why should borrowers in the smaller townships be forced to travel to their shire towns? |
60029 | But will some advocate say"it is only the bank of all the other banks"? |
60029 | But would any one go back to the days when they had to pay exchange upon a bank note every time they crossed a State line? |
60029 | But, gentlemen, why could I not issue$ 10,000 of my bank notes against my bank credit, and keep the$ 12,000 or$ 15,000 of commercial paper? |
60029 | But, suppose the question should arise and a man should ask, are these notes good? |
60029 | Can any fair- minded, impartial man deny that the conditions today are vastly in favor of better results than they were then? |
60029 | Can any intelligent man doubt the purpose of all these sham declarations and false pretenses? |
60029 | Can anyone doubt that all of their banks and all of their business interests would have gotten all the money they wanted all the time? |
60029 | Can it be possible that they can properly be called"currency"? |
60029 | Can it be said that a measure like the one now pending before the Senate and the country is a measure of a day or an hour? |
60029 | Can you give us the history of that system? |
60029 | Can you, Mr. Banker? |
60029 | Do n''t you admit that this is some sort or kind of money? |
60029 | Do n''t you remember how Mr. Banker pounded that into us; and convinced us all, too? |
60029 | Do n''t you see it''s half past ten o''clock? |
60029 | Do n''t you think so yourselves? |
60029 | Do n''t you think so, Mr. Banker? |
60029 | Do n''t you think so? |
60029 | Do n''t you think that a good and equally helpful business could be carried on by loaning money on city and urban property? |
60029 | Do you all agree that that is a fair assumption under the circumstances? |
60029 | Do you call it a good system? |
60029 | Do you know I flatter myself that the common sense of the American people is the wealth of the country? |
60029 | Do you know that I regard credit as one of the three greatest instrumentalities of modern civilization? |
60029 | Do you mean to tell me it is not money? |
60029 | Do you pretend, Mr. Banker, that all our Silver Certificates are not money either? |
60029 | Do you recollect what you printed on that at the time you issued it, and have been printing on it ever since? |
60029 | Do you see any objection to it, any flaw in it? |
60029 | Do you think it is wise to continue these United States notes indefinitely, as a part of our bank reserves? |
60029 | Does all this prove nothing to us? |
60029 | Does anyone here deny that? |
60029 | Does anyone of common intelligence believe that Aldrich ever changed his scheme below its throat? |
60029 | Does not the fact that the United States Note and the Silver Dollar are legal tender, make them money? |
60029 | Does not this alone create a state of emergency? |
60029 | Does this transaction become a different transaction, forsooth, because it is carried out by a banker? |
60029 | FIFTH NIGHT WHAT IS EXCHANGE? |
60029 | For what would happen to this bank if we should send out such a letter to our depositors? |
60029 | Have the Central Banks of England, France or Germany any power to maintain accounts and establish agencies in foreign countries? |
60029 | Have you investigated it? |
60029 | Have you men ever looked up bank failures in the United States? |
60029 | How about that? |
60029 | How can we do that? |
60029 | How do you make that out, when we have only$ 750,000,000 of bank notes out? |
60029 | How do you think James Gallatin, Moses Taylor and George S. Coe would have provided the money for carrying on the war? |
60029 | How does that strike the rest of you boys? |
60029 | How does this differ from the United States Notes or Greenbacks? |
60029 | How many of those associations would there be in the United States? |
60029 | How much infected meat would it take to do the harm, the damage to the American people that resulted from the panic of 1907? |
60029 | How would you detect, check and stop that sort of thing? |
60029 | However, what is it that you want to talk about? |
60029 | I appeal to you men; am I not right about this matter? |
60029 | I suppose we are through with the Clearing House now, are n''t we? |
60029 | I want to know how many cans of pork and beans I have on hand to meet the meal tickets with? |
60029 | If a bank wanted to take on a speculative deal, it could sell its commercial paper, could it not, and use the money for speculation just the same? |
60029 | If left alone, we shall soon adopt these same principles, now in practice in Scotland, Ireland and Canada? |
60029 | Indeed, the thing by which we are measuring the value of everything? |
60029 | Is it not a fact that Canada has been just as free from these spasms and panics as any country in the world, and yet Canada has no central bank? |
60029 | Is it not the natural sequel to this train of abuses to which the country has been treated? |
60029 | Is it not true that our National Banks are now carrying 20 per cent reserves of which 17 per cent are cash? |
60029 | Is that a correct definition of reserves? |
60029 | Is this putting it too strongly? |
60029 | It is gold, is it not? |
60029 | It is this:"What is a Bank Note? |
60029 | Just think of it; where would it stop? |
60029 | Just what did you mean by that? |
60029 | Just what do you mean by the"functions of money"? |
60029 | Just where are we at now? |
60029 | MANUFACTURER: He could refuse if he chose and demand legal tender, could he not? |
60029 | MANUFACTURER: Just what do you mean when you say that a credit bank note currency will cost no more than a deposit account subject to check? |
60029 | MANUFACTURER: Mr. Banker, have Bills of Exchange and bank acceptances been used very long, or are they something quite new and modern? |
60029 | MANUFACTURER: These institutions you have named do not include the Trust Companies, do they? |
60029 | MANUFACTURER: Well, I assume that we have another guess coming yet, have n''t we? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Are the Canadians using this credit currency system? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Gentlemen, have you estimated how much gold your plan would bring into the American Reserve Bank? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Gentlemen, is n''t it marvelous how that currency adapts itself to the demands of the Canadian crop moving period? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Have you any doubt about the people taking your bank notes, as you suggest? |
60029 | MERCHANT: How is that? |
60029 | MERCHANT: How many such institutions are there? |
60029 | MERCHANT: How much gold is there in the world today? |
60029 | MERCHANT: I am sure we all agree on that point now, but what about this silver certificate? |
60029 | MERCHANT: I would like to ask you whether you think there is anything in this claim that gold is cheaper today than twenty years ago? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Is it not a fact that credit transactions in business are increasing every year? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Is it practical to have the zones conform to State lines? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Is n''t that a simple and very easy thing to do? |
60029 | MERCHANT: It is just a written acknowledgment of a debt, is n''t it? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, do you believe that to be a correct statement? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, just what are the influences that affect the movement of gold to or from the country? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, taking that explanation as correct, what would you say that our currency consists of? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, what amount, or percentage of reserves do you think a banker should carry? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Now just what did you say; value, wealth, property, capital and credit? |
60029 | MERCHANT: That is perfectly plain, but suppose that he could have sold the bonds, he would have gotten his money back, would he not? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Uncle Sam, that''s pretty good preaching; but how are you going to apply it to this banking question? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Well, Mr. Banker, how do you propose to keep credit within safe boundaries, and so insure sound business conditions all the time? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Well, Mr. Banker, what is wrong with it? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Well, Mr. Lawyer, what do you really think about the constitutional question now? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Well, what is a token coin? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Well, what would happen if, when the Supreme Court guesses again, it should guess right? |
60029 | MERCHANT: What is that? |
60029 | MERCHANT: What''s that? |
60029 | MERCHANT: Where would this gold come from? |
60029 | MR. BANKER: How do you make that out? |
60029 | MR. BANKER: Mr. Lawyer, will you allow me to illustrate that distinction? |
60029 | MR. BANKER: Well, Uncle Sam, do you think calling a thing something which it is not makes it that thing? |
60029 | MR. BANKER: What about the gold supply for the future? |
60029 | MR. FARMER: Did you say, Mr. Banker, that all the money there was in the United States were the gold coins? |
60029 | MR. FARMER: How do you think it could have been avoided? |
60029 | MR. FARMER: Mr. Lawyer, just what do you mean by a"standard of value"? |
60029 | MR. FARMER: Then why in thunder do n''t we adopt it now? |
60029 | MR. FARMER: Well, it then came out just as those men said it would, did n''t it? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: Accommodation paper? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: Do you really think that that can be done? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: Just what do you mean by the value of anything? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: Uncle Sam, why do you make these token or subsidiary coins? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: Well, Mr. Banker, do you know what I would do, if I had a deposit in your bank, under those circumstances, and got scared of you? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: What do you mean by Clearing House certificates? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: What do you mean by tying up the capital and deposits of a bank in mortgages and real estate? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: What''s legal tender? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: Where do I come in? |
60029 | MR. LABORINGMAN: Yes, but you have seven districts in every one of your zones, do n''t you? |
60029 | MR. LAWYER: Here is a gold certificate, is n''t that money? |
60029 | MR. LAWYER: How long, O Lord, how long, shall we remain the laughing stock of the rest of the world? |
60029 | MR. LAWYER: Mr. Banker, how would you fare under the Aldrich scheme, if you wanted$ 100,000 of currency to use to move the crops in the fall? |
60029 | MR. LAWYER: Mr. Banker, what are subsidiary coins? |
60029 | MR. LAWYER: Wealth, did you say, Uncle Sam? |
60029 | MR. LAWYER: What difference does that make? |
60029 | MR. LAWYER: Yes, I admit it; but does it smell any worse than oil has been smelling for more than twenty years? |
60029 | Merchant? |
60029 | Mr. Banker, how much of that kind of stuff have I got out? |
60029 | Mr. Banker, what have you to say about our Silver Dollar? |
60029 | Next Wednesday night let us investigate our currency and ask ourselves"What is currency?" |
60029 | Now, at first thought, anyone would say that it would be safe to issue money for this value, or sixteen billion dollars; but who would redeem it? |
60029 | Now, can you beat that as an illustration of our financial and banking needs? |
60029 | Now, do n''t you think, Uncle Sam, that as a matter of business you''d better get rid of these demand debts, these United States Notes? |
60029 | Now, what about that? |
60029 | Now, what have you to offer in support of your theory by the way of any practical illustrations? |
60029 | Now, what is the thing by which we are measuring the value of all credit? |
60029 | Now, what more do you want? |
60029 | Now, what would you think of running a hundred- ton engine, and that kind of a train of cars over a railroad built fifty years ago? |
60029 | Of course we will be up against some legal difficulties, wo n''t we, Mr. Lawyer? |
60029 | One naturally says to himself, if this plan of a Central Bank of issue is good enough for England and Germany, why should we not adopt it here? |
60029 | Or, are you fellows like the Irishman, who said that he was kicking a dead dog to teach him that there was such a thing as punishment after death? |
60029 | Possibly it was more this decision than pressure of business that called for the creation of an additional member of the Court-- was it not? |
60029 | SECOND NIGHT WHAT IS MONEY? |
60029 | SIXTH NIGHT VALUE, PRICE, WEALTH, PROPERTY, CREDIT UNCLE SAM: Well, boys, what about reserves? |
60029 | THIRD NIGHT WHAT IS CURRENCY? |
60029 | Tell me how much gold coin we have scattered about everywhere over the country? |
60029 | Than certain United States senators have been made to smell? |
60029 | Than robbing rebates smell? |
60029 | That is, how would you prevent too much paper from some one merchant, or manufacturer, getting into the banks? |
60029 | That is, what can you call a reserve? |
60029 | That is, what is value anyway? |
60029 | That would make two hundred and ninety- four districts, if you should have as many as forty- two zones, would it not? |
60029 | UNCLE SAM: And you say I have$ 563,000,000 of silver dollars out good for nothing but token or subsidiary coin? |
60029 | UNCLE SAM: By Jove, he''s hit the thing plump and square on the head, has n''t he, boys? |
60029 | UNCLE SAM: Did not Mr. Laboringman just appeal to me to find out whether coöperative societies were going to have a fair show? |
60029 | UNCLE SAM: Say, Mr. Banker, do you know what time it is? |
60029 | UNCLE SAM: There, can you beat that as a precaution against accidents? |
60029 | UNCLE SAM: Well, fellows, you see, do n''t you, that everything gets back, sooner or later, to the producer? |
60029 | UNCLE SAM: What is the total amount of silver in the country then, of all kinds, silver dollars and pieces of silver less than one dollar? |
60029 | UNCLE SAM: Yes, but I do n''t have to pay those National Bank Notes, do I? |
60029 | Upon this evidence will any candid man say that the so- called National Reserve Association is not a Central Bank? |
60029 | Was it at 5 per cent, 6 per cent, 7 per cent, 8 per cent, 9 per cent, 10 per cent? |
60029 | We change it here, what is the result? |
60029 | What Is Currency? |
60029 | What Is Exchange? |
60029 | What Is Money? |
60029 | What are the principles involved? |
60029 | What do you all say to that? |
60029 | What do you think the effect would be upon our credit, with all these demand obligations outstanding? |
60029 | What do you think, Mr. Banker? |
60029 | What does experience show? |
60029 | What doubt should there be of the urgency of this legislation? |
60029 | What else can there be? |

60029 | What is it? |
60029 | What is property? |
60029 | What principles, practices and methods will give us the very best financial and banking system in the world? |
60029 | Where would you go for gold with your comparatively small capital and limited credit? |
60029 | Wherein then is the farmer, the planter, the artisan benefited? |
60029 | Whether it is falling in value, and as a consequence prices of everything else, which must be compared with gold, are rising? |
60029 | Why can not 1907 suffice? |
60029 | Why do we want to spend any time on that? |
60029 | Why is that? |
60029 | Why not relieve the millions of depositors from the anxiety they always feel about their money in the banks? |
60029 | Why should it take another wasteful and degrading panic to impress Congress? |
60029 | Why should n''t it, that''s the question? |
60029 | Why should not a bank act just like any other merchant or trader, and adjust its stock of goods to the ever- changing conditions of its business? |
60029 | Why, what does it propose? |
60029 | Will any man assert that any country in the world has a better banking system than Canada has today? |
60029 | Will any man in the United States deny that Canada has a vastly superior banking system to anything we have in the United States? |
60029 | Will any one deny that promissory notes are property? |
60029 | Will any one say that what we wanted during the years of 1913- 4- 5- 6- 7 was more inflation? |
60029 | Will anybody declare that a bank has no property when it has a million dollars''worth of gold coin in its vaults? |
60029 | Will anybody deny that a bank has property, although it may be the owner of one million dollars''worth of promissory notes? |
60029 | Will anybody deny that checks and drafts and bills of exchange are property? |
60029 | Will anyone deny that United States notes are property? |
60029 | Will anyone deny that gold certificates are property? |
60029 | Will anyone deny that gold is property? |
60029 | Will anyone deny that promissory notes are property? |
60029 | Will anyone deny that silver certificates are property? |
60029 | Will anyone deny that silver is property? |
60029 | Will anyone say that the prices in these various countries have in any way shown or reflected the amount of gold taken or absorbed? |
60029 | Would anybody take a step that would substitute a local currency for a national currency of uniform character and quality? |
60029 | Would n''t you think that that was idiotic? |
60029 | Yes, suppose they are, what of it? |
60029 | Your inquiries have always been: What are the facts? |
60029 | of the Bank, nothing but a promise to pay five times twenty- five and eight- tenths grains of gold, nine- tenths fine, to the bearer? |
35120 | Is my credit as good as it used to be, or is it less? |
35120 | ( 2) How can he best draw it into his bank? |
35120 | ( 3) In what parts of the Dominion is money most needed? |

35120 | 1911[?]. |
35120 | :_ M ´_,_ V_,_ V ´_, the_ p_''s and the_ Q_''s? |
35120 | ; if not, what discretion is usually given them? |
35120 | A bill drawn in New York on France, on a bank, for instance, the Crédit Lyonnais, at Paris, and accepted by it, would it be admissible for discount? |
35120 | A hundred people are talked about, and a thousand think--"Am I talked about, or am I not?" |
35120 | A large percentage of the stock exchange business is really handled through the incorporated banks, is it not? |
35120 | A large percentage of your funds is loaned on the stock exchange? |
35120 | A part of your portfolio comes from rediscounting for banks? |
35120 | Accordingly, the question"How far does the note issue under the new system seem likely to prove an elastic one?" |
35120 | All are plausible, but which is valid? |
35120 | All this, except the last, might be true, and yet would any man refuse his assent to the fact of the currency being depreciated? |
35120 | And nothing that requires you to keep any reserve; that is, any amount of cash as against your liabilities? |
35120 | And your discount business is comparatively insignificant? |
35120 | Are a considerable number of your loans on call? |
35120 | Are all loans made to members? |
35120 | Are all of the important banks in the City of Paris members of the clearing house? |

35120 | Are the notes of your issuing banks secured; and if so, how? |
35120 | Are the other banks accustomed to use the Bank of France in order to transfer their funds? |
35120 | Are the seats expensive? |
35120 | Are the small societies at all in competition with the Reichsbank, where they have a branch? |
35120 | Are the smaller banks becoming more closely affiliated with the larger banks? |
35120 | Are there any other banks which you control? |
35120 | Are there particular corporations in which you have a permanent interest? |
35120 | Are they payable at par at your option? |
35120 | Are they small or large? |
35120 | Are you confined by law to business with mortgages? |
35120 | Are you examined at any time and in any way by the Government? |
35120 | Are you members of the stock exchange? |
35120 | Are you not competitors? |
35120 | Are your deposits subject to check? |
35120 | Are your shares held by individuals and corporations? |
35120 | As a matter of fact, a large part of the commercial banking in England is done by about a dozen institutions, is it not? |
35120 | At a lower rate than the Bank of France? |
35120 | At first, incipient panic amounts to a kind of vague conversation: Is A B as good as he used to be? |
35120 | But how evenly are these resources distributed? |
35120 | But not their stock? |
35120 | But what can the poorer unorganized buyer do when retail prices are raised? |
35120 | But you do receive some deposits? |
35120 | By virtue of their being banks? |
35120 | By whom are the shares of the Reichsbank owned? |
35120 | By whom are the shares owned? |

38990 | But what-- what the devil is all this about? 38990 But when we have shaken the tree a little----""One may fall, you think?" |
38990 | But when will there be horses? |
38990 | But when-- when did you first, Clem? |
38990 | But where is it? |
38990 | But where was Thomas-- the man-- then? |
38990 | But why are you here? |
38990 | But why not? 38990 But why-- why in the world did you do that?" |
38990 | But will the forty- five thousand be enough, sir? |
38990 | But you are not hurt? 38990 But you ca n''t pay''em to- day, banker?" |
38990 | But you did n''t expect that Mr. Griffin would come forward? |
38990 | But you do n''t think that there is anything in what he said? |
38990 | But you get as much? |
38990 | But you see him? |
38990 | But you''ll take your egg- flip, Mr. Griffin? 38990 But you''re not going to be angry? |
38990 | But you''re not----"A partner in Ovington''s? 38990 But your face?" |
38990 | But, Betty,in a coaxing tone,"little spitfire that you are, ca n''t you guess why I was short with Rodd? |
38990 | But,he said, as if his mind were beginning to work again,"why should we-- take all this trouble?" |
38990 | But-- but what can we do? |
38990 | But-- but you do n''t mean that there may be a-- a failure? |
38990 | But-- love? |
38990 | But-- without his dinner? |
38990 | By daylight? 38990 By whom, sir?" |
38990 | Ca n''t Arthur get round him? |
38990 | Ca n''t I put down penny for penny with Grounds? 38990 Can I do anything? |
38990 | Can I have a word with you, sir? |
38990 | Can you get away? |
38990 | Can you pay''em all to- day? |
38990 | Can you think of no way of getting it, sir? |
38990 | Can you wear it? |
38990 | Cash? 38990 Changed? |
38990 | Clement is with them, I suppose? |
38990 | Clement? |
38990 | Closed, has it? |
38990 | Come? 38990 Come? |
38990 | Confound it, what do you mean? |
38990 | Could n''t what? |
38990 | D''you forget that, you ungrateful wench? |
38990 | D''you hear? 38990 D''you think there''s any need o''railroads when a man can do that? |
38990 | D''you want me? |
38990 | D''you want me? |
38990 | Did he ask to see me, or----with an effort,"my nephew?" |
38990 | Did n''t you know that? 38990 Did she say,"he asked, lowering his voice,"that he came from the bank?" |
38990 | Did what? |
38990 | Did you go in, father? |
38990 | Did you hear where he was going to in Manchester? |
38990 | Did your father send you? |
38990 | Do I not? |
38990 | Do n''t I? |
38990 | Do n''t love him? |
38990 | Do n''t they? 38990 Do n''t you see how the sunlight touches them? |
38990 | Do you hear? 38990 Do you know who it was,"she said,"who saved you that night, sir? |
38990 | Do you mean Josina, sir? |
38990 | Do you mean that you''ve brought back the money? |
38990 | Do you mean that you''ve got any of the money-- here? |
38990 | Do you mean the shares you pledged with us? 38990 Do you mean, sir,"she stammered,"that I am not to see Arthur?" |
38990 | Do you mean----"Has this really shaken him? 38990 Do you see a box?" |
38990 | Do you think I am going to have my daughter''s husband counterskipping in Aldersbury? 38990 Do you think him honest?" |
38990 | Do you think, then,furiously,"that I am going to run away with it?" |
38990 | Do you understand that your father is willing? 38990 Do you want me?" |
38990 | Does anything matter beside this? |
38990 | Eh? 38990 Eh? |
38990 | Eh? |
38990 | Eh? |
38990 | Eh? |
38990 | Empty? 38990 Entrusted? |
38990 | Faint? 38990 Five thousand in gold and the rest----""What?" |
38990 | For nearly shooting me? |
38990 | Fortunes? |
38990 | From this day? 38990 Garth? |
38990 | Give up the money after you had done the work? 38990 Good gracious, how should I know? |
38990 | Good morning, Sir Charles,he said,"you wanted to see me? |
38990 | Good- bye? |
38990 | Gracious goodness, ca n''t I see that? 38990 Ha''you done, girl?" |
38990 | Ha''you got it? |
38990 | Ha''you got them? 38990 Ha''you never deceived me? |
38990 | Had I not better wait-- till you are over, sir? |
38990 | Had n''t you better,said Josina from the darkness outside,"send Fewtrell to meet him with a lanthorn?" |
38990 | Has my father called? |
38990 | Have they brought it down over the eaves? |
38990 | Have you brought the papers? 38990 Have you drawn a receipt?" |
38990 | Have you had any hint? |
38990 | Have you no ambition? |
38990 | He did n''t tell you where he was going? |
38990 | He is no loser by them, I hope? |
38990 | He is, if----"If it comes to the worst? 38990 He married his master''s daughter, did n''t he? |
38990 | He thought that, did he? |
38990 | He told you this tale yesterday, did he? 38990 He''s a director, ai n''t he?" |
38990 | He''s in bed? |
38990 | He''s in livery, is n''t he? |
38990 | Here? |
38990 | Here? |
38990 | Here? |
38990 | Hope so, by G-- d? 38990 How could I not? |
38990 | How could you? 38990 How did you do it? |
38990 | How do I know what you are? 38990 How do you go about to sell''em?" |
38990 | How do you know? 38990 How do you know?" |
38990 | How much will clear you? 38990 How much-- I mean, what extra amount of reserve,"he asked,"would make us safe?" |
38990 | How much? |
38990 | How was it possible I should not? 38990 How''s my account, sir?" |
38990 | How''s your brother? |
38990 | How, Betty? 38990 I can tell you how-- quite easily, if you will let me explain?" |
38990 | I dare say you know my cousin? |
38990 | I do n''t understand why you think that all this is coming upon us at a moment''s notice, sir? 38990 I hope to God it''s all right, sir?" |
38990 | I suppose it''s old, sir? |
38990 | I suppose you know? |
38990 | I thought that he hated the bank? |
38990 | I thought that you were going to thank-- Mr. Walker of Wolverhampton? |
38990 | I want no message from him, d''you hear? 38990 I want to know what has opened your mouth? |
38990 | I wonder why you''ve got such a color, Betty? |
38990 | I''m afraid that there has been some difficulty,he said,"but I think now----""Have you given your uncle notice?" |
38990 | I, sir? 38990 I? |
38990 | I? |
38990 | If I could have a word with you-- apart, sir? 38990 If I had your permission to speak to her, sir?" |
38990 | If I may, sir? 38990 If he''s off with it? |
38990 | If it is as bad as you say----"Bad? 38990 If the woman feels like that about it, why does she call up the money?" |
38990 | If there is anything I can do? |
38990 | If you will allow me to explain? |
38990 | In a moment? 38990 In cash?" |
38990 | In gold, I think? 38990 In hard times did n''t we share''em and fair clem? |
38990 | In the dumps, father? |
38990 | In the event of the subscriptions exceeding the sum required, what day will suit you to allot? 38990 In whose favor, young man?" |
38990 | Including Stocks? |
38990 | Into Ovington''s? |
38990 | Into the bank? |
38990 | Is anything the matter? |
38990 | Is everybody mad? 38990 Is he alone, Calamy?" |
38990 | Is he dead? |
38990 | Is he here, Woosenham? |
38990 | Is he here, man? |
38990 | Is he really so clever? |
38990 | Is he? 38990 Is it Wolley?" |
38990 | Is it his money or yours? |
38990 | Is it not that which I am doing every day, Clem? 38990 Is it the banker''s son?" |
38990 | Is it the money that is the trouble? |
38990 | Is n''t Rodd here? 38990 Is n''t it painful? |
38990 | Is n''t the stock mine? |
38990 | Is the door closed? |
38990 | Is the door shut, Rodd? |
38990 | Is there a postboy here? 38990 Is there ink enough in the pen?" |
38990 | Is there no hope, Clement? |
38990 | It is blood,she said,"is n''t it?" |
38990 | It''s that way, is it? 38990 Just a word, Mr. Ovington,"he stuttered,"a word, sir, by your leave? |
38990 | Just that; but after all is n''t that worth doing? 38990 Knows all, does he?" |
38990 | Late? 38990 Like the job, Arthur?" |
38990 | Look here, Clement,he said more mildly;"what''s come to you? |
38990 | Lord, now, who told you, mister? 38990 Love you? |
38990 | Love? 38990 Man alive, why did n''t you say so?" |
38990 | Managed it? |
38990 | May I help you over the stile? 38990 Mean, master? |
38990 | Might not worse things happen to us? 38990 More ways of killing a cat than drowning it, eh? |
38990 | Morning? 38990 Mr. Bourdillon here?" |
38990 | Mr. Bourdillon? 38990 Mr. Ricketts,"he said, singling out one,"you are here about those bills? |
38990 | Mrs. Bourdillon has gone? |
38990 | My coat? |
38990 | My coat? |
38990 | My father noticed it? |
38990 | My good name? |
38990 | My mother''s money, sir? |
38990 | Never made love to you? |
38990 | No harm? |
38990 | No one within hearing, lad? |
38990 | No papers? |
38990 | No plum for me, I suppose? |
38990 | No, but----"Projected? |
38990 | No? 38990 No? |
38990 | No? |
38990 | Nobody up? 38990 Not a trade? |
38990 | Not? |
38990 | Nothing in it, man? 38990 Nothing in it?" |
38990 | Nothing in it? |
38990 | Now then? |
38990 | Now, Mr. Medlicott, what do you want? 38990 Now?" |
38990 | Of the Railroad? 38990 Oh, but,"she said,"a farmer? |
38990 | Oh, it''s Clement now, is it? |
38990 | Oh, it''s Mr. Bourdillon now, is it? |
38990 | Oh, that''s it, is it? |
38990 | Open? 38990 Ovington? |
38990 | Parted with them? 38990 Pay me? |
38990 | Perhaps if you and your brother went over it at your leisure? |
38990 | Perhaps not, but if it did? |
38990 | Perhaps,she said with naïvetà ©,"you would like to be a country gentleman?" |
38990 | Pole''s? 38990 Posted? |
38990 | Pretty full, I expect, eh? 38990 Put you out? |
38990 | Release me from the bank, sir? 38990 Responsible as you are?" |
38990 | Rise? |
38990 | Rodd, why did you do it? |
38990 | Rodd? 38990 Rodd?" |
38990 | Said that, did he? |
38990 | Sell? |
38990 | Shall I break them, sir? |
38990 | Shall I do it now, sir? |
38990 | Shall I say forty- eight hours? 38990 Shall I tell him, sir?" |
38990 | Signed and witnessed? |
38990 | Sir Peter Pole and Co.? 38990 Sir?" |
38990 | So he wo n''t face me? 38990 So it''s Rodd now?" |
38990 | Squire Griffin? |
38990 | Steam railroads? |
38990 | Still rising? |
38990 | Still, there is no sign of a change, sir? |
38990 | Stolen property? |
38990 | Summat? 38990 Swimmingly?" |
38990 | Swimmingly? |
38990 | Take this, Rodd, will you? |
38990 | Tell me if that idle dog has cleaned them? |
38990 | That loan of Mr. Griffin''s----"The twelve thousand? 38990 That would n''t do, would it? |
38990 | That you said would pull us through? 38990 That you, Arthur?" |
38990 | That''s what we''re coming to, is it? |
38990 | That''s your virtue, is it? 38990 The Apple Tree? |
38990 | The Secretary''s? 38990 The Squire?" |
38990 | The black and white house, sir? |
38990 | The chap you brought in this morning? |
38990 | The railroad? |
38990 | The truth is you have played truant, have n''t you? 38990 The young lady?" |
38990 | Then could we not,Arthur asked,"by laying our accounts before our London agents obtain the necessary help, sir?" |
38990 | Then go on at once, will you? 38990 Then he''s not to come to Garth, sir?" |
38990 | Then the lad did n''t come up till after? |
38990 | Then what is it? 38990 Then why should he want you?" |
38990 | Then you have an opportunity of stating outside, that you have been paid? 38990 Then you have not missed the others much?" |
38990 | Then you think-- you must think--Arthur''s voice was not quite under his control--"that there is danger?" |
38990 | Then, Clement----"Well? |
38990 | Then-- then I may speak to her, sir? |
38990 | Then----"Oh,she prayed,"can we not go on as we are?" |
38990 | There is no doubt that we are solvent, sir? |
38990 | Thirty pounds a year? 38990 Thirty shillings? |
38990 | This coat? |
38990 | This is the seventeenth? |
38990 | This? 38990 Those snowdrops?" |
38990 | Time I knew it? |
38990 | To Garth? |
38990 | To go on doing nothing? 38990 To me?" |
38990 | Trade? |
38990 | Umph? 38990 Under notice?" |
38990 | Unpopular? 38990 Unpopular? |
38990 | Up the hill? |
38990 | Wait? 38990 Walk? |
38990 | Walk? |
38990 | Walker or Watkins? 38990 Want to know how much I hold?" |
38990 | We could realize the twelve thousand eventually? |
38990 | We might bill him and cry him? |
38990 | Well, I should have thought that he-- ain''t you wanted, Rodd? |
38990 | Well, ai n''t they right? |
38990 | Well, mebbe----"Mebbe? |
38990 | Well, what do you know? |
38990 | Well, what of it? 38990 Well, who axed me? |
38990 | Well, you know,lightly,"what happened to the industrious apprentice, Betty?" |
38990 | Well? |
38990 | What I says, then-- excuse me-- is, if Grounds, why not me? 38990 What ails the girl? |
38990 | What am I to do? 38990 What are you doing here, Betty?" |
38990 | What are you doing? |
38990 | What art talking about, girl? 38990 What be I to do? |
38990 | What did I hear? |
38990 | What did he say? |
38990 | What did he tell you? |
38990 | What do you make of it? |
38990 | What do you mean, girl? |
38990 | What do you mean? 38990 What do you mean?" |
38990 | What do you mean? |
38990 | What do you mean? |
38990 | What does a thousand pounds weigh? |
38990 | What else does he think? |
38990 | What else? 38990 What ha''you been doing?" |
38990 | What has frightened you, man? |
38990 | What have we to do with him? 38990 What have you done to your coat?" |
38990 | What is it, man? 38990 What is it? |
38990 | What is it? 38990 What is it?" |
38990 | What is it? |
38990 | What is it? |
38990 | What is it? |
38990 | What is it? |
38990 | What is that place? |
38990 | What is the meaning of this? |
38990 | What is to be done about him? |
38990 | What other rubbish? 38990 What other way? |
38990 | What shall I do? 38990 What the devil are you doing here? |
38990 | What the devil do you mean, sir? 38990 What the devil has that to do with it? |
38990 | What was it? 38990 What were you looking at so intently, Mr. Ovington, that you did not hear me?" |
38990 | What will you give me to go instead? |
38990 | What you suggest,he said, a faint note of sarcasm in his tone,"comes to this, Mr. Ovington-- that we pool resources? |
38990 | What''ll I be the better? 38990 What''s amiss with him?"'' |
38990 | What''s amiss? |
38990 | What''s come to you? 38990 What''s it all about?" |
38990 | What''s that in return for a man''s life? 38990 What''s that? |
38990 | What''s that? |
38990 | What''s that? |
38990 | What''s the matter now, mother? |
38990 | What''s the matter? |
38990 | What''s the matter? |
38990 | What''s the matter? |
38990 | What''s this they''re saying about Ovington''s, eh? 38990 What''s to be done? |
38990 | What''s young Miss doing up there? |
38990 | What, after all, do you know of-- love? |
38990 | What, me? 38990 What-- what the devil do you mean, man?" |
38990 | What? 38990 What? |
38990 | What? |
38990 | What? |
38990 | When I saw you standing here? 38990 When?" |
38990 | When? |
38990 | Where d''yer come from? |
38990 | Where is Arthur? |
38990 | Where is he? |
38990 | Where is he? |
38990 | Where is she? 38990 Where is the hackney- coach? |
38990 | Where is the rogue? |
38990 | Where''s Arthur? |
38990 | Where''s Clement? |
38990 | Where''s Jos? 38990 Where''s Jos?" |
38990 | Where? |
38990 | Which field? |
38990 | Which is the one you filched? |
38990 | Which way? 38990 While you were supporting him?" |
38990 | Who are you, my lad? |
38990 | Who else, man? 38990 Who is it you want?" |
38990 | Who is it? 38990 Who is it? |
38990 | Who is it? |
38990 | Who is it? |
38990 | Who is that rude boy? |
38990 | Who is this gentleman? |
38990 | Who knows,with humility--"my lad''s a good lad-- what may come of it? |
38990 | Who said anything about Garth? 38990 Who seized them?" |
38990 | Who sent you? |
38990 | Who told you-- this rubbish? |
38990 | Who''s there? 38990 Who''s this?" |
38990 | Who? 38990 Who? |
38990 | Who? |
38990 | Who? |
38990 | Who? |
38990 | Who? |
38990 | Whose? |
38990 | Why ca n''t he do it? 38990 Why did he take his own when we offered it?" |
38990 | Why did n''t you tell me? |
38990 | Why have you come after me? 38990 Why not, indeed? |
38990 | Why not, lad? |
38990 | Why not-- as you put the question, sir? 38990 Why not?" |
38990 | Why not? |
38990 | Why not? |
38990 | Why should anything follow? 38990 Why should n''t he, child? |
38990 | Why should there be? 38990 Why, begad?" |
38990 | Why, the devil, did n''t you seize him? |
38990 | Why, you idle, worthless vagabond, do you think that I do not know what you''re worth? 38990 Why,"innocently, as she lowered the knitting again,"he does not stand to lose anything, does he?" |
38990 | Why-- why, surely you''re not going to turn against me? |
38990 | Why? 38990 Why?" |
38990 | Why? |
38990 | Why? |
38990 | Will he get over it? |
38990 | Will he listen to you? |
38990 | Will you come? 38990 Will you kindly give me the basket?" |
38990 | Will you take it to him? |
38990 | With me? 38990 Wo n''t it be too far, sir?" |
38990 | Wolley wanted his notes renewed, I suppose? |
38990 | Wolley''s Mill? |
38990 | Would you have no man rise, sir? |
38990 | Would you like my opinion, father? |
38990 | Would you like that? |
38990 | Wrong? 38990 You are aware that Poles''and Williams''s have failed?" |
38990 | You are sure that you will be safe now? |
38990 | You are sure-- sure that you are not hurt? |
38990 | You are thinking of the Railroad, Purslow? |
38990 | You believe him against me? |
38990 | You believe me, you do believe me, do n''t you? |
38990 | You could look him up? |
38990 | You counted it, I suppose? 38990 You did n''t quarrel?" |
38990 | You do n''t say so? |
38990 | You do n''t think that there is anything wrong, dad? |
38990 | You do n''t think we need another man? |
38990 | You do think so? |
38990 | You do? |
38990 | You have n''t seen that I loved you? |
38990 | You have n''t seen the mail? 38990 You have them here? |
38990 | You haven''t-- you and Arthur-- made it up? |
38990 | You heard what I said? |
38990 | You held him up in the carriage? |
38990 | You include Rodd, do you? 38990 You know Sir Charles and Mr. Acherley? |
38990 | You may as well hear what Mr. Wolley has to say, though I have told him already----"What? |
38990 | You may be called upon for another six thousand, then, sir? |
38990 | You mean,he said,"that the bank ca n''t afford to take them? |
38990 | You mean-- by G-- d, sir,the Squire broke out,"you mean that you will take my land whether I will or no?" |
38990 | You remember that you signed a paper to try your pen? 38990 You sent for me, sir?" |
38990 | You think we are old enough, Betty? |
38990 | You want cash? |
38990 | You want to carry your railroad over Garth? |
38990 | You will save him if you can, Clement? |
38990 | You wish to know if it''s safe? |
38990 | You wo n''t cash them? 38990 You wo n''t forget that you''re in fault, Clem, will you?" |
38990 | You would n''t wish to do it through Ovington''s? |
38990 | You''ll leave the bank, of course? |
38990 | You''re not agoing----"Do you hear? 38990 You''re surprised to see me?" |
38990 | You''ve brought a cheque? |
38990 | You''ve the securities? |
38990 | You? |
38990 | You? |
38990 | ''Bout the bank? |
38990 | --peevishly--"what mess has the girl made now?" |
38990 | A Mr. Coutts? |
38990 | A Napoleon of- finance? |
38990 | A bank?" |
38990 | A friend? |
38990 | A memory of what? |
38990 | A pack of navigators upsetting the country, killing game and robbing hen- roosts, raising wages and teaching honest folks tricks? |
38990 | A railroad? |
38990 | A run once started-- have there been any withdrawals?" |
38990 | A third had left Dean''s under a cloud, and if he quarrelled with Ovington''s, where was he to go? |
38990 | Acherley?" |
38990 | Agreed, gentlemen? |
38990 | Ai n''t I to have my share of it?" |
38990 | Ai n''t we alone?" |
38990 | Ai n''t you ashamed of yourself?" |
38990 | Ai n''t you getting what I''ve always given?" |
38990 | All gone swimmingly, I hope, sir?" |
38990 | All good notes, I suppose? |
38990 | All there, is it?" |
38990 | All well?" |
38990 | Aloud,"What do you want, my man?" |
38990 | And Arthur himself? |
38990 | And Chirbury-- whose peerage he respected, since it was as old as his own family, if he thought little of the man? |
38990 | And I signed it too, father, by mistake? |
38990 | And I suppose that they all have to be there?" |
38990 | And I thought, sir----""You thought you''d hold them for a bit more? |
38990 | And I''m sure we do n''t want a lot of vulgar purse- proud----""Purse- proud? |
38990 | And Josina? |
38990 | And Josina? |
38990 | And Miss Peacock? |
38990 | And Ovington? |
38990 | And Uvedale and Cludde? |
38990 | And a desperate villain? |
38990 | And am I, your daughter, to-- to accept him, the moment it suits him to marry me?" |
38990 | And at whom was he hinting? |
38990 | And do you think that I will not wait for you, wait until you have climbed up again, or until something happens to bring us together? |
38990 | And do you think that when he can buy up half a dozen of these thickheaded Squires who can just add two to two and make four-- that he''ll not count? |
38990 | And do, man? |
38990 | And for the agreement, who but a fool would ha''signed such an agreement? |
38990 | And get her a horse as you might call a horse? |
38990 | And give me a-- a very small capital to----""To go and idle upon?" |
38990 | And he and his? |
38990 | And he found out through you, did he? |
38990 | And he knows it, does he? |
38990 | And he thought that? |
38990 | And he would not listen to her protests that it was not Clement, that it was not Clement, it was she who--"He thought that? |
38990 | And he''s told you this?" |
38990 | And her love for whom? |
38990 | And him double my size? |
38990 | And his father, young man?" |
38990 | And how am I to be sure it''s no worse? |
38990 | And how be I to know? |
38990 | And how the deuce have you come to be here-- by this time?" |
38990 | And how was he going to extract his money, his six thousand, from this unreasonable old dotard-- for so he styled him in his wrath? |
38990 | And how we loved? |
38990 | And how-- how in the world was he to explain the matter to his uncle? |
38990 | And if I have n''t dared to make love to you of late, surely you have known what was in my mind? |
38990 | And if he obtained the money, what was he to do with it? |
38990 | And if it could be made clear to him that he ran no risk?" |
38990 | And if it gets about, sir?" |
38990 | And if my customers do n''t pay cash-- as you know it is not the custom to pay-- where am I to get the cash to pay the wool men?" |
38990 | And if such- an- one"went,"what of Blank-- with whom he himself had business? |
38990 | And if the bank closed where''d I be? |
38990 | And if the worst comes to the worst, your father''s told you, I suppose, that I ca n''t prosecute-- family name, eh? |
38990 | And if you''re not going to get anything out of it, but to leave your own in, as I hear talk of-- what then? |
38990 | And in her surprise"Clement?" |
38990 | And lose you?" |
38990 | And more than hope, for almost before he had crossed the threshold a sleepy boots came out of the bar and met him, and"Horses? |
38990 | And no one here but you?" |
38990 | And now profits are up, the world''s full of money, as I hear in Aldersbury, and be you to take all and us none?" |
38990 | And now you''ve come to give me another dose of fine words to keep me quiet till the shutters go up? |
38990 | And now-- what am I to say to your uncle?" |
38990 | And now-- why, damme, what do you mean by it?" |
38990 | And send for the cook, sir, and the two clerks-- to advise us?" |
38990 | And set himself against coaches as you set yourself against the railroad?" |
38990 | And she meant it? |
38990 | And she was nesh, was she? |
38990 | And talk of the Rights of Men and money- bags, eh? |
38990 | And that''s all you think of, when at any minute your master-- oh, dear, dear, what can have happened to him?" |
38990 | And the Squire-- what would he say? |
38990 | And the other? |
38990 | And their corn and their beans? |
38990 | And then, again, what was this story about that unlucky night which had cost him his sight? |
38990 | And there must be some reason? |
38990 | And titivate her, and pull her ears bytimes same as you with your grand- darters? |
38990 | And to Bourdillon, who had no more right to it than you had? |
38990 | And to buy out my lord and drive your coach and four into Aldersbury, and splash dirt over better men than yourself?" |
38990 | And to- day----""Why did n''t you tell me?" |
38990 | And what I say is, if Grounds, why not me? |
38990 | And what are the legs of a horse when it''s a race wi''ruin?" |
38990 | And what if he is late? |
38990 | And what is the Squire? |
38990 | And what more secret? |
38990 | And what security had he for those other things? |
38990 | And what was it his uncle had said? |
38990 | And when she did not reply to him at once,"Do you forget that he saved my life?" |
38990 | And when she had done this,"Do you see that cupboard? |
38990 | And when she had replied that she was there,"Where is Arthur?" |
38990 | And when the lad had brought in the money, and the account was settled,"Are you returning to- night?" |
38990 | And when they had left the man behind,"What does he want?" |
38990 | And where''d he go but where he knows? |
38990 | And who would be the loser? |
38990 | And why had the man been silent about that night? |
38990 | And with fifty thousand what could one not do? |
38990 | And would he be able to find the door again? |
38990 | And you are Miss Griffin, are you not?" |
38990 | And you think he''ll make for Manchester?" |
38990 | And you think to be one of them, do you? |
38990 | And you want my leave?" |
38990 | And you,"jealously,"when, sweet, did you first-- think of me?" |
38990 | And, by the way, are you going to Garth on Saturday?" |
38990 | And-- the sand? |
38990 | Any other rats?" |
38990 | Anything the matter with them?" |
38990 | Are n''t you cold? |
38990 | Are n''t you starving?" |
38990 | Are they there? |
38990 | Are you all asleep? |
38990 | Are you going to? |
38990 | Are you hurt?" |
38990 | Are you minding me?" |
38990 | Are you paying, or drawing?" |
38990 | Are you sure?" |
38990 | Arthur answered, good- humoredly,"and save yourself the trouble of two journeys? |
38990 | As it was, for what was he spending himself and undergoing these hardships? |
38990 | At Welshes? |
38990 | At his son''s moniment as is at his elbow? |
38990 | At last,"Did you call at your father''s?" |
38990 | At last,"Do you wish me to do that?" |
38990 | At last,"No one will lose, sir?" |
38990 | At last,"Ovington''s son wants to marry you?" |
38990 | Ay, and Acherley, who, rotten fellow as he was, was still Acherley of Acherley? |
38990 | Ay, and earned it by a service as great as one man could perform for another? |
38990 | Ay, when? |
38990 | Ay? |
38990 | Bank''s going, I hear?" |
38990 | Because I''m going to charge your mother rent? |
38990 | Before Arthur came up?" |
38990 | Besides, I am riding Clement''s mare, and if I do n''t go, how is he to come back?" |
38990 | Better leave five pounds to keep the account open?" |
38990 | Between love of him and fear of the Squire, what was she to do? |
38990 | Bevan?" |
38990 | Boumphry?" |
38990 | Bourdillon''s? |
38990 | Bourdillon, will you take a note? |
38990 | Bourdillon?" |
38990 | Bourdillon?" |
38990 | Bourdillon?" |
38990 | Brownjohn?" |
38990 | Brownjohn?" |
38990 | Brownjohn?" |
38990 | Business men? |
38990 | But Betty? |
38990 | But Clement? |
38990 | But I ca n''t see"--Mrs. Bourdillon spoke with sudden sharpness,"what you have to do with it?" |
38990 | But I never-- my dear sir, I never----""Authorized a sale?" |
38990 | But Purslow and Grounds and Wolley? |
38990 | But a fall-- a general fall at any rate-- what sign is there of it?" |
38990 | But after a pause, during which she stood watching his face,"And if he does not recover his sight?" |
38990 | But could he maintain his anger against one who had saved his life at the risk of his own? |
38990 | But from this to noon to- morrow you will not do it in that time, my lad, at night? |
38990 | But he bore the pang gallantly, for had not the boy earned his right to the money and to his own way? |
38990 | But he concealed his satisfaction and a smile, and"Is n''t there a provision for calling it up?" |
38990 | But his manner on the present occasion, and the way in which he closed the door, prepared Ovington for something new, and"What is it, Rodd?" |
38990 | But honest? |
38990 | But how long-- the doubt tortured him-- would it be his? |
38990 | But if A. and B. and C. were also short, what then, lad?" |
38990 | But if the money- bags crumbled and sank beneath his feet? |
38990 | But if things went down, sir? |
38990 | But if things were as bad as Acherley said, was even Dean''s safe? |
38990 | But if you would prefer that it should be paid to Mr. Welsh-- my father thought that that might be so?" |
38990 | But in the event of a sudden fall, of one big failure leading to another-- in the event of a sudden rush to present our notes?" |
38990 | But lor'', master, a dark sullen chap with a black eye and legs a little bandy? |
38990 | But perhaps you are a poet?" |
38990 | But presently, and without warning,"Why do n''t you ha''the lad?" |
38990 | But seven, or it might be ten? |
38990 | But the agreement----""Agreement? |
38990 | But the thing is done, and what am I to do now? |
38990 | But what could she do to requite him, apart from her father? |
38990 | But what if he repented later? |
38990 | But what is it?" |
38990 | But what victory? |
38990 | But what''s the use of a postboy when there''s no horses?" |
38990 | But where''d your profit be, if your father who rode post to London had stood pat where he was? |
38990 | But whither? |
38990 | But why, you ask, this sudden alarm-- now? |
38990 | But would it have an odd look, Josina wondered, standing before the glass in her room, if she ran across to the Cottage for ten minutes about sunset? |
38990 | But you have not given up hope? |
38990 | But you''ve not brought the eggs?" |
38990 | But"--Clement boggled a little over the considered phrase, he was nervous and his voice betrayed it--"he thought-- I was to say----""It''s all there?" |
38990 | But"Do you hear?" |
38990 | But, of course, if you are against me, if you are not going to help me----""How can I help you? |
38990 | But-- a brace and a wood- pigeon? |
38990 | But-- where is he? |
38990 | But----""Eh?" |
38990 | But----""What is it, sir?" |
38990 | But----,"with a steady look at him,"which is the cook and which is the goose, Acherley? |
38990 | Ca n''t you guess why I do n''t particularly love him? |
38990 | Ca n''t you think of any way, sir?" |
38990 | Calamy?" |
38990 | Can I bring you anything up, sir?" |
38990 | Can you do nothing with that boy? |
38990 | Can you see nothing? |
38990 | Capital, indeed? |
38990 | Carry your eyes right of the hill, over the coppice at the corner of Archer''s Leasow?" |
38990 | Cheek by jowl with every grocer and linen- draper in the town? |
38990 | Clement came forward with his father''s invitation-- oysters and whist at five on Friday-- and his opinion on a glass of''20 he was laying down? |
38990 | Clement had a retort on his lips-- for what could be more unfair than this? |
38990 | Clement knew him, and"Is Mr. Bourdillon here?" |
38990 | Come with you? |
38990 | Confound him, what had the lad been doing? |
38990 | Could he be right? |
38990 | Could he hold out till Wednesday? |
38990 | Could he refuse to pardon one, but for whom he would be already lying in his grave? |
38990 | Could it?" |
38990 | Could n''t you find a man?" |
38990 | Could not Mr. Rodd go?" |
38990 | Could there be a fool so foolish as to look at the matter thus? |
38990 | Could they make, could they have made themselves, as he had? |
38990 | Coward as well as rogue, is he? |
38990 | D''you hear, sir? |
38990 | D''you hear, wench? |
38990 | D''you hear? |
38990 | D''you hear? |
38990 | D''you hear? |
38990 | D''you hear?" |
38990 | D''you know him?" |
38990 | D''you know that he got to London in sixteen hours, in the night- time?" |
38990 | D''you see it? |
38990 | D''you see it?" |
38990 | D''you see this?" |
38990 | D''you think I do n''t know that there is something? |
38990 | D''you think that that''s what I pay you for?" |
38990 | D''you understand, girl?" |
38990 | Dad"--brusquely--"what does he mean?" |
38990 | Did Arthur?" |
38990 | Did he take the oats?" |
38990 | Did n''t Arthur tell you?" |
38990 | Did not the proverb say that it was ill- work waiting for dead men''s shoes? |
38990 | Did they mean to draw out the amount next morning? |
38990 | Did they think to browbeat him? |
38990 | Did they think to bully him? |
38990 | Did you bring those deeds from Welsh''s?" |
38990 | Did you ever see a greater change in men''s faces-- from what they were this time two years? |
38990 | Did your father think that I could not be trusted to see things through? |
38990 | Did''ee ever watch him in church? |
38990 | Director of the-- oh, the Railroad Shares? |
38990 | Do he make much of her, James Fewtrell? |
38990 | Do n''t I tell you that I''ve spoken to the Squire? |
38990 | Do n''t they say so? |
38990 | Do n''t you know that your master is not in, and it is nearly eight?" |
38990 | Do n''t you know they''re the worst of all? |
38990 | Do n''t you know yet, mother, that Jos has no more will than a mouse? |
38990 | Do you hear, Miss? |
38990 | Do you hear? |
38990 | Do you hear? |
38990 | Do you hear? |
38990 | Do you hear? |
38990 | Do you hear? |
38990 | Do you hear? |
38990 | Do you hear?" |
38990 | Do you hear?" |
38990 | Do you hear?" |
38990 | Do you know that your father is still out? |
38990 | Do you know what Mr. Rodd says?" |
38990 | Do you know?" |
38990 | Do you mean it? |
38990 | Do you mean that it was you who drove Thomas off? |
38990 | Do you mean to say that I would?" |
38990 | Do you mean-- he was there, Arthur?" |
38990 | Do you mean-- quite blind?" |
38990 | Do you say it''s over?" |
38990 | Do you see that stable?" |
38990 | Do you think I am going to be left alone, and the door open? |
38990 | Do you think that they''ll be able to put him on one side? |
38990 | Do you understand-- I do n''t think you do? |
38990 | Does it matter?" |
38990 | Eating my heart out-- doing nothing?" |
38990 | Eh? |
38990 | Eh? |
38990 | Excuse me, have you heard? |
38990 | Failing her? |
38990 | Faint? |
38990 | Fancy my credit''s good enough?" |
38990 | Fetch her?" |
38990 | Find you capital and see you loiter your life away with your hands in your pockets? |
38990 | For he''s taking the plate to Birmingham to pledge, is n''t he? |
38990 | For presently in a voice as dry as usual,"Do you see the gable of Wolley''s Mill, girl? |
38990 | For what else was it? |
38990 | For what?" |
38990 | Four hundred and thirty, or thereabouts?" |
38990 | Four thousand? |
38990 | From Aldersbury? |
38990 | Get you some water?" |
38990 | Gittins?" |
38990 | Give you capital? |
38990 | Go back to the clodhopping life your grandfather lived before you and from which I lifted you? |
38990 | Good heavens, if he said so much now, what would he have said in that case? |
38990 | Got a barker, sir?" |
38990 | Got your book?" |
38990 | Griffin?" |
38990 | Grounds? |
38990 | Ha''you got that down? |
38990 | Ha''you got the pen, girl? |
38990 | Ha''you turned banker?" |
38990 | Had he been rash? |
38990 | Had he heard? |
38990 | Had he in truth intended to beard him and claim her in the road that morning-- when they met? |
38990 | Had he killed her? |
38990 | Had it been really so? |
38990 | Had n''t I better keep it till morning?" |
38990 | Had n''t you better seal it, sir?" |
38990 | Had not the Bank of England sent down a special messenger bearing unstinted credit? |
38990 | Had she been blind, and had he been feeling all this while she guessed nothing of it? |
38990 | Had the day''s work been too much for him? |
38990 | Hallo, Rawlins, is that you? |
38990 | Hang it, man, do you think I''ve nothing better to do with my money in these days than pay you fellows to the day? |
38990 | Has he come?" |
38990 | Has my father come?" |
38990 | Have n''t I seen you blush like a rose when you looked at it-- many and many a time? |
38990 | Have n''t spoken, but let her know? |
38990 | Have we not always been meaning this-- you and I?" |
38990 | Have you done anything?" |
38990 | Have you heard anything about Wolley, Rodd?" |
38990 | Have you heard anything? |
38990 | Have you thought of that?" |
38990 | Have you thought what you are saying?" |
38990 | He came back to town with you?" |
38990 | He could not hope to reach her, could not hope to gain her, could not in honor even aspire to her? |
38990 | He felt himself capable of all, for had not all succeeded with him? |
38990 | He gave you that punch in the face, I guess?" |
38990 | He has given me leave to speak to you-- to ask you to be my wife?" |
38990 | He has seen Clement----""Clement, eh?" |
38990 | He may explain, sir?" |
38990 | He owes his life to me, and that''s not a small thing-- is it? |
38990 | He valued the good opinion of his world, and what, he reflected, if the Squire were right? |
38990 | He was not unprepared, therefore, even for Clement''s rejoinder, and,"Miss Griffin?" |
38990 | He went to raise the money with which he was entrusted----""Entrusted?" |
38990 | He would extend, opening branches at Bretton and Monk''s Castle and Blankminster, and the railroad? |
38990 | Help him? |
38990 | Help the d-- d rascal who has robbed me? |
38990 | Help, indeed? |
38990 | Her mother? |
38990 | Here?" |
38990 | Hollow? |
38990 | How account to him for his confidence in the issue? |
38990 | How be I to know?" |
38990 | How can I talk of such things when I remember----?" |
38990 | How could I see you and not love you?" |
38990 | How could he speak before the man? |
38990 | How could he wrest himself from the inaction-- it must seem to her the ignoble inaction-- which pressed upon him? |
38990 | How could they escape? |
38990 | How could you-- love me?" |
38990 | How did you do it?" |
38990 | How is he, doctor?" |
38990 | How is he?" |
38990 | How long could he ensure it for others? |
38990 | How much do you need for that?" |
38990 | How much is there?" |
38990 | How was he to get them? |
38990 | How was this bill to be met, and who would renew that one? |
38990 | How would he hold up his hands? |
38990 | How would she bear it, how take it? |
38990 | How would she bear it? |
38990 | How would she meet, how bear the shock that a short hour must inflict on her? |
38990 | How would you do it?" |
38990 | How''s the wine? |
38990 | How, then? |
38990 | How? |
38990 | Howsumdever, if you''ll give me your word you''ll act the gentleman?" |
38990 | Hundreds, eh?" |
38990 | I am late, am I? |
38990 | I am sure that your father values him highly as a clerk, and would value him still more highly as----""What?" |
38990 | I am to stand by and-- and play the coward still-- go on playing it?" |
38990 | I did not mean to wear it again, but in my hurry----""Do you mean the night that my father was hurt?" |
38990 | I did not think that you would rob another----""What do you mean?" |
38990 | I do n''t think that there is anything else? |
38990 | I have the plans here----""What do you want?" |
38990 | I must go on waiting? |
38990 | I see no way unless----""Yes, sir? |
38990 | I suppose the bank will accommodate me by taking them?" |
38990 | I suppose you are not in love, eh?" |
38990 | I suppose you have the certificates?" |
38990 | I suppose you know that much?" |
38990 | I suppose, gentlemen, you would wish him to take his seat at once?" |
38990 | I take it, it is all right, sir?" |
38990 | I think that four or five hundred was mentioned? |
38990 | I thought that to- night, with father just back----""I would n''t go? |
38990 | I trust that that does not mean that you are-- making any change?" |
38990 | I''ve been mayor twice and him not even on the Council? |
38990 | If I do not seek you for my wife, what is before us? |
38990 | If I had not made the business at which you do not condescend to work? |
38990 | If Josina would not mind running down for it?" |
38990 | If Woosenham knew his own business, and Acherley were not up to his neck in debt, they''d not let themselves be led by the nose by----""By whom, sir?" |
38990 | If he borrowed it for a month, what harm would there be? |
38990 | If he lost the footing, the one footing that money now gave him? |
38990 | If in the crisis that was coming they toppled over, and his father failed, as he might fail? |
38990 | If it really was young Ovington who had come to his rescue and beaten off Thomas, why had not Arthur said so? |
38990 | If it were indeed he who had done the thing, why had he been quiet all this time, and never even said"I did it"? |
38990 | If people thought that we were afraid----""We? |
38990 | If she did, what ought he to do? |
38990 | If so- and- so failed, would not such- an- one be in trouble? |
38990 | If that is the way you look at it, why do you do it? |
38990 | If there was going to be all this difficulty about the particulars, what about the certificates? |
38990 | If you are prepared to do that?" |
38990 | If you deceive me in this, wench-- what matter if the notes be short or not, or what comes of it?" |
38990 | If you will bring them through to me-- yes, if you please?" |
38990 | If you will look at the plans?" |
38990 | In Bishopsgate? |
38990 | In heaven''s name, why? |
38990 | In that event, what might not be the end? |
38990 | In the concern? |
38990 | Instead,"How is he?" |
38990 | Instead,"What?" |
38990 | Is Acherley at the bank?" |
38990 | Is Pugh there? |
38990 | Is anything the matter?" |
38990 | Is anything wrong?" |
38990 | Is he here?" |
38990 | Is he here?" |
38990 | Is it Arthur?" |
38990 | Is it as bad as that? |
38990 | Is that little Jenkins-- Tom Jenkins of the Hollies?" |
38990 | Is the door closed? |
38990 | Is there enough ink in the pen?" |
38990 | Is there no way of getting it? |
38990 | Is there"--and Josina saw with compassion that her mittened hands were trembling--"is there anything-- wrong?" |
38990 | It does n''t double----""Double itself in a month, Grounds? |
38990 | It is his job, too?" |
38990 | It is within my reach now, and surely, surely,"his voice shook with the fervor of his pleading,"you will not be the one to dash it from my lips?" |
38990 | It was Bourdillon you asked for? |
38990 | It was"Where''s Arthur?" |
38990 | It went well?" |
38990 | Jenkins? |
38990 | Jos?" |
38990 | Just bring me the note- issue book, will you? |
38990 | Lizzie Clough said yesterday I''d a cast in one eye, but does it worry me? |
38990 | Lord, man,"with a little contempt in his tone,"what do you do with your gun all day? |
38990 | May we not send it for you? |
38990 | Meanwhile,"Another cup of tea?" |
38990 | Might you not die and I be left alone? |
38990 | More of lucre than of love? |
38990 | More of the heiress than of the sweetheart? |
38990 | Most unlucky-- great scarcity of silver-- Government''s fault-- should they book it? |
38990 | Mr. Acherley,"to the other,"pardon me, will you? |
38990 | Mr. Ovington? |
38990 | Mrs. Bourdillon did not, indeed, say when he entered,"What, here again?" |
38990 | Must you all come to town? |
38990 | My dear girl, do n''t you understand? |
38990 | Nay, after this, would not he, too, rank as sound and staid and well established, he who had also ridden out the storm? |
38990 | Never to look at his own son''s moniment?" |
38990 | No Gibbons''or Garrards'', eh?" |
38990 | No idea? |
38990 | No man gave time, no man trusted another, and for those in the bank the question was, How long would they trust Ovington''s? |
38990 | No other sign of returning credit, Rodd? |
38990 | No turn for it? |
38990 | No, they''ll not open? |
38990 | No, you do n''t? |
38990 | No? |
38990 | Nor on the shelves?" |
38990 | Not on no terms?" |
38990 | Not to- day? |
38990 | Nothing?" |
38990 | Now I hear that he''s going to burst up, and where''ll you be, my lad? |
38990 | Now have you all ready? |
38990 | Now look down the valley-- d''you see five poplars in a row?" |
38990 | Now look out, and tell me if they''ve finished thatching that wagoner''s cottage at the Bache?" |
38990 | Now those notes with CO. on them they''re money anyways, I suppose? |
38990 | Now, are you going to obey me, girl?" |
38990 | Now, do you understand?" |
38990 | Now, if he gave way, what would they say? |
38990 | Now-- now that he''s in trouble, Josina?" |
38990 | Of Wolverhampton? |
38990 | Of course, if you are not----""What can I do? |
38990 | Of misgiving? |
38990 | Of what use was a warning when his lot was cast and he was the head and front of the matter, President of the Company, Chairman of the Board? |
38990 | Oh, Bourdillon? |
38990 | Oh, it''s Mr. Walker, is it? |
38990 | One day it was,"What about your coat, lad?" |
38990 | Open? |
38990 | Or Clement? |
38990 | Or Friday''s prices? |
38990 | Or because fifty years ago I came into a cumbered estate and have pinched and saved and starved to clear it? |
38990 | Or for the matter of that in your bank either?" |
38990 | Or he-- against a Griffin? |
38990 | Or if he were stayed farther up the road? |
38990 | Or might I not die, and you lose me? |
38990 | Or on the road? |
38990 | Or perhaps-- if I called at Garth tomorrow?" |
38990 | Or rather, why not now? |
38990 | Or suppose that when they met before others, she blushed; or that they thought the meeting strange? |
38990 | Or that any railroad that''s ever made will beat that? |
38990 | Or that you were likely to do better?" |
38990 | Or what he may n''t have done to you? |
38990 | Or what risk? |
38990 | Overtaking her in the hall,"Betty, what is the matter?" |
38990 | Ovington''s was a new concern; was anything wrong? |
38990 | Ovington?" |
38990 | Ovington?" |
38990 | Ovington?" |
38990 | Ovington?" |
38990 | Pay it into Dean''s? |
38990 | Pay? |
38990 | Peddle with pennies and sell ducks and chickens in the market? |
38990 | Perhaps she did not comprehend, and,"Jos,"he said, inviting her to be serious,"do you understand that this is our parting?" |
38990 | Poor Jos, indeed? |
38990 | Presently, and more certainly,"Why did you have it-- at full cock?" |
38990 | Presently,"Josina, what are you doing there?" |
38990 | Presently,"When will you tell him?" |
38990 | Pretty full?" |
38990 | Put no sense into him? |
38990 | Queen Bess, indeed, what were Queen Bess''s days to these? |
38990 | Quite empty?" |
38990 | Rodd''s?" |
38990 | Rodd, Betty?" |
38990 | Rodd? |
38990 | Rodd?" |
38990 | Rodd?" |
38990 | Safe, ma''am, safe?" |
38990 | Save his bank? |
38990 | Saved? |
38990 | See him? |
38990 | Shall I go?" |
38990 | Shall I lock up the counterpart-- downstairs, sir?" |
38990 | Shall I see to it now? |
38990 | Shall I write the letter for you to sign?" |
38990 | Share with his men? |
38990 | Share? |
38990 | She avoided the question, and instead,"Then it was your coat that was spoiled?" |
38990 | She clung to him, telling him of the coat, of the great stains that she had seen upon it; and at last,"Why did you hide this?" |
38990 | She had not grasped the fact that the Squire had sanctioned his suit, and, controlling his voice as well as he could,"Are you really in earnest, Jos?" |
38990 | She had seen to it that the fire was clear and the lamps burned brightly; had she not visited the room a dozen times to see to it? |
38990 | She meant what she had written? |
38990 | She was very, very unwilling to comply, but what was she to do? |
38990 | Should he or should he not go to the bank? |
38990 | Signed and witnessed, eh?" |
38990 | Since the day that we cut our names on the old pew? |
38990 | Sir Charles, will you sit on my right, and Mr. Acherley here, if you please? |
38990 | So he''s sent him?" |
38990 | So that was the point of it all, was it? |
38990 | So that''s your story, is it? |
38990 | So you did n''t go to London? |
38990 | So, instead of snubbing her,"Why dreadful?" |
38990 | Squire Acherley''s gone through on his bay, and Parson Hoggins with him, and''Where''s that d-- d young banker?'' |
38990 | Still, Clement thought it better to go with him, and in the stable,"Be you the gent that offered five pounds?" |
38990 | Still, if he does not-- what then? |
38990 | Suddenly,"Who was your grandfather?" |
38990 | Suppose you lost us?" |
38990 | Surely after services so notable-- and Lord, what luck he had had-- the Squire would be willing to listen to him? |
38990 | Surely the Squire was not getting out of bed? |
38990 | Take this over?" |
38990 | Taken a loan of it for a month or two-- and for what? |
38990 | Talked to your father and saw things differently? |
38990 | That is how I understand you?" |
38990 | That it is indeed his wish that we should marry?" |
38990 | That next week we may be beggars, and my father a ruined man? |
38990 | That was the long and short of it, was n''t it? |
38990 | That was-- how would it be with him when he walked back? |
38990 | That you? |
38990 | That''s in your mind, is it? |
38990 | That''s it, is it? |
38990 | That''s right, is it?" |
38990 | That''s understood, eh?" |
38990 | That''s what you call it, is it?" |
38990 | That''s what you mean, man, is n''t it?" |
38990 | That''s what you''ve come for, I suppose?" |
38990 | That''s your honesty that you brag so much about? |
38990 | That''s your notion, is it, by G-- d?" |
38990 | The lad''s straight and comely and a proper age-- and what else do you want? |
38990 | The night you were-- hurt?" |
38990 | The opportunity which he valued so highly, the opening on which he had staked so much-- was he to forfeit them through her folly? |
38990 | The panel, right side of the fireplace-- are you minding me? |
38990 | The parson, aged and apathetic, knew better than to cross his will-- had he not to get in his tithes? |
38990 | The role of secret lover had charmed for a time-- what more shy, more elusive, more retiring than young love? |
38990 | The sum is large, and-- and--"stammering a little--"but I think you will understand my position?" |
38990 | The worst, is n''t it?" |
38990 | Then another idea, hardly more welcome, occurred to him: had the banker come on his nephew''s account? |
38990 | Then he found the answer, and"One of them, eh?" |
38990 | Then lead the way, will you?" |
38990 | Then sharply,"Where''s my nephew? |
38990 | Then that''s all?" |
38990 | Then what do you say to it?" |
38990 | Then why did he take his money, when he knew how things stood?" |
38990 | Then, after a moment''s thought, rattling the money in his fob,"Is Farmer coming to- day?" |
38990 | Then, as the banker, lost in troubled thought, his eyes on the money, did not speak,"It goes badly then, sir, does it?" |
38990 | Then, changing the subject abruptly,"What did Clement Ovington want?" |
38990 | Then, covering her confusion as well as she could,"Mr. Ovington? |
38990 | Then, for the risk, what was it, when examined? |
38990 | Then, when? |
38990 | Then, when? |
38990 | Then, with an effort which cost him much, but which he thought was due to his position,"You are sure that you will take nothing?" |
38990 | Then,"Tell me, father, why did Mr. Rodd take that money-- when you need all that you can get together, and he knows it? |
38990 | Then,"You do n''t want me?" |
38990 | Then,"You''ll stay to eat something after your ride?" |
38990 | There may be a big subscriber taking three or four hundred shares?" |
38990 | There was a twist o''plait round the cord?" |
38990 | There was only one large account in the room-- should he call it up and pay it? |
38990 | They are agents for sixty or seventy, are n''t they?" |
38990 | They are hundreds, are they? |
38990 | They are----""Wait?" |
38990 | Thin papers? |
38990 | Things are as bad as that, are they? |
38990 | Thirty pounds a year? |
38990 | This was not lessened when the old man asked,"How long has this been going on, eh?" |
38990 | Though I told Jane to tell him----""Who is it?" |
38990 | Thought better of it, eh, young man? |
38990 | Three months, eh? |
38990 | Three thousand a year? |
38990 | Thursday, Sir Charles?" |
38990 | Till Thursday? |
38990 | To be sure, it''s Mr. Ovington, is n''t it? |
38990 | To join them and be another Peel, or one of Pitt''s money- bag peers? |
38990 | To pay''em all down on the nail,"truculently,"and tell''em all to go and be hanged? |
38990 | To rob hundreds instead of borrowing from one money that you know will be returned-- returned with interest in a month? |
38990 | To wait for eight or ten years, dependent on the whims of an arbitrary and crotchety old man? |
38990 | To what can we look forward? |
38990 | To what future? |
38990 | Unless?" |
38990 | Unwarily he jumped out of his chaise, and"No horses?" |
38990 | Up? |
38990 | Very unfortunate, indeed?" |
38990 | Very urgent? |
38990 | Walker of Wolverhampton? |
38990 | Walker?" |
38990 | Was Arthur working against him in his own house as well as opposing him out of doors? |
38990 | Was he gone? |
38990 | Was it a trick? |
38990 | Was it some one we''ve obliged? |
38990 | Was it true that the young spark was thinking more of Garth than of the girl? |
38990 | Was n''t he hand in glove with them? |
38990 | Was n''t he the oldest present, and was n''t it his duty to stop this folly if he could? |
38990 | Was she to go back on it? |
38990 | Was this of a piece with them? |
38990 | We are all agreed, I think, that such a railroad will be a benefit to the trade and district?" |
38990 | We are not ruined yet?" |
38990 | We have not arranged that, I think?" |
38990 | Well, if he does, what then? |
38990 | Well, is n''t the Cottage mine? |
38990 | Well, lad?" |
38990 | Well, suppose we say the money to be paid and the articles of partnership to be signed four months from now?" |
38990 | Well, tell me as he told you, do you hear? |
38990 | Well, where be he a- looking? |
38990 | Well?" |
38990 | Well?" |
38990 | Welsh?" |
38990 | Were they going to open? |
38990 | Were we not made for one another? |
38990 | What I want to get from him is-- has he anything definite to tell us? |
38990 | What a little island of light they make among the brown leaves?" |
38990 | What about it?" |
38990 | What ails her?" |
38990 | What am I then but a coward? |
38990 | What are they at, lad?" |
38990 | What are we in this room? |
38990 | What are you doing here, girl? |
38990 | What are you doing?" |
38990 | What are you starving the house for, standing there?" |
38990 | What bad news?" |
38990 | What became of him?" |
38990 | What can have become of him, child? |
38990 | What can he do, simpleton?" |
38990 | What could come of it? |
38990 | What could he be doing? |
38990 | What could he do? |
38990 | What did Arthur tell you? |
38990 | What did he tell you-- this morning?" |
38990 | What did it matter whether a few more or a few less pounds had been drawn out, whether the drain had waxed or waned in the last quarter of an hour? |
38990 | What did it mean? |
38990 | What did the rogue mean? |
38990 | What did you get?" |
38990 | What did you hear, sir?" |
38990 | What do you know of it? |
38990 | What do you make of it?" |
38990 | What do you mean?" |
38990 | What do you mean?" |
38990 | What do you say to it?" |
38990 | What do you want?" |
38990 | What else do you want, eh? |
38990 | What end? |
38990 | What good can you do, standing out there? |
38990 | What had I better do? |
38990 | What had aroused the mother''s misgivings? |
38990 | What had brought that look of alarm to her eyes? |
38990 | What had he done, after all, at which they need made mouths? |
38990 | What had he done? |
38990 | What has bought you up? |
38990 | What has the lease to do with it?" |
38990 | What have you done? |
38990 | What if in going into this scheme he had made a mistake? |
38990 | What if the Squire had repented of his generosity? |
38990 | What if the help, heaven- sent, beyond hope and beyond expectation, which had removed their fears, were after all to fail them? |
38990 | What if there were no horses at Meriden? |
38990 | What if there were not enough to go round? |
38990 | What if you have to begin the world again? |
38990 | What is in it?" |
38990 | What is it that is amiss with you? |
38990 | What is it to them what I hold? |
38990 | What is it, lad?" |
38990 | What is it, man? |
38990 | What is it, man?" |
38990 | What is it, may I ask?" |
38990 | What is it? |
38990 | What is it? |
38990 | What is it? |
38990 | What is it?" |
38990 | What is it?" |
38990 | What is it?" |
38990 | What is it?" |
38990 | What is it?" |
38990 | What is it?" |
38990 | What is the total?" |
38990 | What is the worth of my love, Jos, if I have not the courage to ask for you?" |
38990 | What is there in it? |
38990 | What joke is this? |
38990 | What lips first let drop the fatal syllables, a fall? |
38990 | What makes you think that things are going down?" |
38990 | What mare''s nest, what bee in the bonnet, was this? |
38990 | What might he not do, what might he not have it in his mind to do? |
38990 | What might not already have happened there? |
38990 | What next? |
38990 | What other money is there, that''s due? |
38990 | What the devil do you mean?" |
38990 | What the devil have we in this room to do with popularity? |
38990 | What the devil is he doing in your Company? |
38990 | What took you-- to back up that ass in the bank just now?" |
38990 | What was happening there? |
38990 | What was he going to do? |
38990 | What was he going to say? |
38990 | What was he to do next? |
38990 | What was he to do? |
38990 | What was in his mind? |
38990 | What was it in his power to do? |
38990 | What was this run? |
38990 | What would Woosenham say of it? |
38990 | What would her father say? |
38990 | What''ll they say of you then-- and of us?" |
38990 | What''s a paltry thousand or two thousand? |
38990 | What''s all this, if it''s over and-- and done with?" |
38990 | What''s amiss with her, eh?" |
38990 | What''s come to you?" |
38990 | What''s he doing there?" |
38990 | What''s that? |
38990 | What''s up?" |
38990 | What, rob his children for fear of a stuffy old man''s black looks? |
38990 | When I left them----""Yes?" |
38990 | When she had gone he sought under the pillow for his keys, and after handling them for a time,"Is the door shut? |
38990 | When she heard his footsteps on the road,"Is it you?" |
38990 | When was she going to summon Clement, and give him leave to speak? |
38990 | When''s that money due?" |
38990 | When? |
38990 | Where are you going?" |
38990 | Where are you?" |
38990 | Where be the common? |
38990 | Where did the Squire keep the title deeds of Garth? |
38990 | Where does that lead to?" |
38990 | Where is he to- day?" |
38990 | Where is he?" |
38990 | Where is the girl? |
38990 | Where shall I sell my coach- horses and hackneys and my tenants their heavy nags? |
38990 | Where was felt the first shiver of distrust? |
38990 | Where was it?" |
38990 | Where was the gaffer? |
38990 | Where would the Railroad scheme be? |
38990 | Where''ll you be? |
38990 | Where''ll you draw the line? |
38990 | Where''s Clement?" |
38990 | Where''s Jos?" |
38990 | Where''s the pen?" |
38990 | Where''s your arm? |
38990 | Which way, sir? |
38990 | Whither? |
38990 | Who else?" |
38990 | Who has dared to raise his eyes to my girl-- a Griffin? |
38990 | Who is he?" |
38990 | Who is it?" |
38990 | Who it was?" |
38990 | Who should he be?" |
38990 | Who the devil is this man Ovington? |
38990 | Who the devil wants you?" |
38990 | Who was he?" |
38990 | Who was it who whispered the first word of doubt? |
38990 | Who was it?" |
38990 | Who''ll lose, man?" |
38990 | Who''s to stop me between here and Garth?" |
38990 | Who? |
38990 | Whom can he trust now, Arthur?" |
38990 | Why did n''t you?" |
38990 | Why do you do it? |
38990 | Why do you want to mix yourself up with him? |
38990 | Why had he been silent about the bank''s difficulties and the peril in which his money stood? |
38990 | Why had he sent for his daughter? |
38990 | Why not have everybody''s? |
38990 | Why not me, sir?" |
38990 | Why should I? |
38990 | Why should it not restore him a second time? |
38990 | Why should they escape? |
38990 | Why should we stop him?" |
38990 | Why should we----""Stop him?" |
38990 | Why, Lord ha''mercy on us, where would you find such another, young and pretty and all, and Garth in her pocket? |
38990 | Why, confound it, man, what are you afraid of?" |
38990 | Why, damme, Woosenham, if_ we_ do these things, if we once begin to go on''Change''and sell and buy, where''ll you draw the line? |
38990 | Why, hang their infernal impudence,"wrathfully,"do they think their business must come before everybody''s? |
38990 | Why, if I''ve----""Quakers? |
38990 | Why, if Ovington lives another ten years what do you think that he will be worth? |
38990 | Why, man,"in astonishment,"are you tarred with the same brush?" |
38990 | Why, man,"with bravado, though Clement fancied that his eyes wavered and that the brag began to ring false,"what have I done? |
38990 | Why, man?" |
38990 | Why, oh, why were there such things as banks in the world? |
38990 | Why-- why, I do n''t know what to say to you?" |
38990 | Why?" |
38990 | Why?" |
38990 | Wi''that young man?" |
38990 | Will he be the same man again?" |
38990 | Will that serve you? |
38990 | Will you leave the bank when you can, young man?" |
38990 | Will you see them, sir?" |
38990 | Will you see to that, Bourdillon?" |
38990 | Will you see, Bourdillon, if all is ready in the bank?" |
38990 | Will you sit here, Jos?" |
38990 | Will you tell him that his assistance has been of material use to me, and that I shall not forget it? |
38990 | Will you try it on this? |
38990 | Winter time, too? |
38990 | With fifty thousand pounds, free money, added to the bank''s resources, what might not be done? |
38990 | Without warning?" |
38990 | Without warning?" |
38990 | Wolley? |
38990 | Work for her, wait for her, live for her? |
38990 | Would Arthur ever thank him? |
38990 | Yapp?" |
38990 | Yapp?" |
38990 | Yes, Bourdillon?" |
38990 | Yes, Rodd? |
38990 | Yes?"--anxiously--"well?" |
38990 | Yet if he left it at Ovington''s and it were lost, what then? |
38990 | Yet what could he do? |
38990 | Yet what could he do? |
38990 | Yet why did not the Squire come? |
38990 | Yet, what other course was open to him? |
38990 | Yet-- why not? |
38990 | You are anxious about the Railroad money? |
38990 | You are one of these moneyed gents, I suppose? |
38990 | You are pleased with Clement, father, are n''t you? |
38990 | You are sure that it was Thomas? |
38990 | You do n''t doubt that? |
38990 | You do n''t mean it, sir? |
38990 | You do n''t mean that you''ve changed your mind, and you so fond of her? |
38990 | You do n''t understand me? |
38990 | You do n''t want to talk to the village, I suppose? |
38990 | You ha''got the certificate?" |
38990 | You have been with us-- how long? |
38990 | You have gone over to that prig, have you? |
38990 | You know that your cheek''s bleeding?" |
38990 | You know that?" |
38990 | You remember? |
38990 | You there? |
38990 | You understand?" |
38990 | You will do your best to forgive me?" |
38990 | You wo n''t forget that, will you?" |
38990 | You''ll not forget that, Woosenham? |
38990 | You''ll take a bed?" |
38990 | You''ll take them, I suppose-- for cash, of course? |
38990 | You''re on? |
38990 | You''ve a tongue, I suppose?" |
38990 | You''ve heard, I suppose? |
38990 | Your clean hands? |
38990 | Your father-- your father has sent you?" |
38990 | but I am not aware, sir, that this is---- Surely a railroad is on another footing?" |
38990 | he retorted, contemptuously,"Do you think that she will give evidence against me? |
38990 | heavily,"what have you come to say? |
38990 | losing all control over himself,"you do n''t think my support worth buying, do n''t you? |
38990 | roughly-- for how could he meet this save by bluster? |
38990 | she wailed,"what have you brought us to? |
