33055May I be allowed to look into that telescope, madam?
33055Mistress Graves, are you here? 33055 My dear, may I ask you to mind your own business?"
33055Now-- at once?
33055Poor Alex, is the lowest yet most important step of the ladder distasteful to you? 33055 Shall I proceed to Sydney Place, sir?
33055Surely, Caroline, the life or death of a friend is of more importance than an anthem?
33055Surely, by a safe hand?
33055That''s an untruth,said Graves;"but what do I hear him saying about the ladies?"
33055The Lady Betty is your aunt?
33055The chairs?--who said I wanted a chair? 33055 Then may I hope that Mr. Herschel will give me lessons?"
33055Then you came for pleasure?
33055Was Miss Mainwaring ill?
33055Was it very charming at Slough, Leslie?
33055Well, Alex, is that you? 33055 Well, what if I am?"
33055Well,Griselda said,"I have brought you money to buy food, and surely you want a fire; and where is your bed?"
33055What amuses you, Danby?
33055What are you going there for, pray, if I may be so bold?

33055What have you done with Sir Maxwell Danby, child?
33055What is it? 33055 What is the matter?"
33055What?
33055Where am I?
33055Where are your manners, not to invite him to come in?
33055Where have you been?
33055Where is the young lady?
33055Whither away, my fair lady, with that puppy?
33055Who hinders you, sir?
33055Who is the lady?
33055Who opened that door?
33055Who said I had turned spy?
33055Who will you take up with next? 33055 Why do you look so miserable?
33055Why so cruel to me,he asked,"when I would be your slave?
33055Will she be kind to me?
33055Will you be sure to let me know if I can do aught for her? 33055 Will you come?"
33055Will you find out Brian Bellis for me? 33055 Will you not be disturbed by passers- by?"
33055Will you pray for me?
33055Yes; where is Alexander?
33055You can then judge of truth or falseness by the unerring instinct which is one of the gifts of true womanhood? 33055 You did find her?
33055You do n''t feel inclined for a compromise, then?
33055You have copied the score for Ronzini, Caroline?
33055You look charming,Sir Maxwell began;"but why no colour to relieve this whiteness?
33055You were pleased with the music last evening, Mistress Mainwaring?
33055_ Is_ the boy, Brian Bellis, come back?
33055_ Who is she?_Then an exceeding bitter cry echoed through the rafters of the chamber as if it would pierce the very roof.
330556, Crown Alley?"
33055Am I not one of the chief patronesses of the ball?
33055And now Graves hesitated a little:"I gave it to his care as soon as I went down this morning; but----""But what?"
33055Are you Brian Bellis?
33055Brian Bellis was standing in the entrance- hall, and Griselda went eagerly towards him:"Have you brought me tidings?"
33055But Claverton Down!--how should she reach it?
33055But Griselda had passed out of hearing before Lord Basingstoke''s friend inquired:"Who is the other?
33055But Norah-- the child?"
33055But about six o''clock Alexander appeared, and said:"Did you hear carriage- wheels roll off not long ago?"
33055But is not the canker at the root of many a fair flower of womanhood in the higher circles of our own time?
33055But may I venture to address a few words to your fair ward?
33055But the true womanly instinct asserted itself, and pointing to an open door leading into another garret, she said:"May I go in there?"
33055But where is Lady Betty?
33055But who were the people she was seated with?
33055But why should you be distressed?"
33055But you would not go to scoff, Miss Griselda?"
33055But, Graves, that letter--_did_ you send it?"
33055But,"he said, checking himself,"I am at your service now about the trinkets, or shall we pay a visit to the poor folks first?
33055By- the- bye,_ your_ star of beauty is not here to- night; has she set behind a cloud?
33055Can I be of any assistance?
33055Can I help to arrange the telescope?"
33055Can it be true?
33055Can we help, Leslie?"
33055Can you handle a sword?"
33055Can you write it?"
33055Could you not make it alone?"
33055Deeply had the mother suffered-- would her child be like her in this, as in outward form and semblance?
33055Did I not tell her to remove every speck before it was placed by the window?
33055Did you ever behold such airs and graces?"
33055Did you ever see anything like the feet of the young one?
33055Did you know that my father was the actor who died in Crown Alley?--that Norah, the beggar- child at your door in Rivers Street, is-- is my sister?"
33055Did you take the soup?
33055Do n''t you understand?
33055Do ye hear?"
33055Do you hear, miss?"
33055Do you hear?"
33055Do you hear?"
33055Do you know Mr. and Miss Herchel, madam?"
33055Do you see?"
33055Do you suppose I can brook that?"
33055Do you take the waters, miss?"
33055Do you think, sir, Lady Betty and myself might venture to pay our respects to Mr. and Miss Herschel?"
33055Do you understand?"
33055Does the gentleman know?"
33055Graves, did you go?"
33055Graves, why do n''t you speak?"
33055Graves-- do hearts break?
33055Griselda exclaimed;"what does she say?"
33055Griselda stood where Graves left her, her hands clasped together, and exclaimed:"What shall I do?--wait till he writes?
33055Griselda tore the note in pieces, and said:"Why does he not send his ridiculous billets to the person who wants them?
33055Griselda''s eyes flashed angrily; and then, recovering herself, she said:"At what hour shall we order the chairs?"
33055Had I made too much of the misery, and want, and wretchedness of that poor man?"
33055Had she not promised to befriend her?
33055Harrison, do you hear?"
33055Have I not been besieged for cards?
33055Have you a torch handy?"
33055Have you been long a visitor to Bath, madam?"
33055Have you been playing as usual?"
33055Have you been to Crown Alley?
33055Have you never seen her by the help of a reflector before?"
33055Have you taken care of your mother, William and Alex?"
33055He hastened to relieve Griselda''s evident embarrassment by saying:"May I have the honour of presenting you to my mother, Miss Mainwaring?
33055He is an old hand-- and you?
33055Herschel''s?"
33055How about the violins and the harpsichord?
33055How do you fancy my new curtshey?"
33055How was it possible she could be the sister of the orphan child, and the daughter of an actor, who had died sunk in the depths of misery and poverty?
33055I Do you think he has found it out, and that this keeps him away?"
33055I am no longer the pleasure- seeker then?"
33055I could fancy this last is a thief: the odds and ends vanish, who knows how?
33055I feel it for my son-- and how much more is it full of danger for you?"
33055I heard, by- the- bye, Travers, that the voice of the Assembly Room is unanimous in declaring Miss Mainwaring the reigning beauty; but----""But what?"
33055I myself hope to be present; and may I hope to have the honour of meeting you there?"
33055I say, where is Miss Mainwaring?"
33055I want someone, do n''t I, Mr. Travers?
33055I will return hither, mother; meantime, may I hope you and Miss Mainwaring will have some conversation which will be agreeable to both?"
33055If a bad man got hold of you, what then?
33055Is Miss Mainwaring here?
33055Is anything amiss?"
33055Is it not so, Caroline?"
33055Is not Phyllis glad to see father safely back again?"
33055Is there no mistake?"
33055It is, I warn you, a sad spectacle-- can you bear it?
33055May I dare to hope it is so?"
33055May I have the honour of seeing you to North Parade?"
33055May I, sir, introduce myself as Dr. Watson, and may I follow up this acquaintance by a call to- morrow?"
33055Might I ask her?"
33055Nineteen millions of miles, or eighteen and three- quarter millions?
33055No love- story is new to her, is it, Graves?"
33055No; who can tell what to- morrow may bring?
33055No?
33055Now, brother, shall we return to the top of the house?"
33055Now, mother, you do not see sin and wickedness in star- gazing, surely?"
33055Now, what do I care for scolding?"
33055Presently Griselda received a nudge from one of the young ladies''rather sharp elbows:"Pray, miss, who''s that fine gentleman walking with?
33055Promise you will not quarrel with him?
33055Say it is not a dream, those blessed words you spoke in the church, Griselda?"
33055Shall I ever accomplish it?
33055Shall I leave the house?--shall I go to Mrs. Travers?
33055Shall we go to the dining- parlour at once?"
33055Shall we visit him to- day?"
33055So you have two happy people still here, I see?"
33055Stand back, Graves; what do you mean?"
33055Suddenly a flash of intelligence came into those large dark eyes, and the man started up and gazed at Griselda, repeating:"Who is she?--who is she?"
33055Surely there are those who stand in the place of parents to you?"
33055Surely, Aunt Betty, you have not encouraged this gentleman to pursue a suit which is distasteful to me?"
33055That bad man''s evil eye was on us in the church that day-- that bright, beautiful day-- when was it?"
33055The necessary figures were jotted down, and then Caroline said:"Do you think Leslie Travers was going off in that carriage?"
33055There may be a bow in the dark cloud-- who can tell?"
33055There''s the score of that quartette in G minor, Alex-- is it safe?"
33055Was it possible that Leslie Travers could think her unmaidenly to write as she had done?
33055Was she trying your patience-- you poor dear old Graves-- past bearing?
33055Well, girls, shall we take a turn?
33055What answer shall I take to Danby?"
33055What are you about, Danby, to let another get before you?
33055What are you dreaming about, child?"
33055What boy?"
33055What child?--and whither did she go?
33055What did you hear there?"
33055What do I say?
33055What do the gentry want with stabbing one another to the heart about paltry quarrels?
33055What is amiss, Sir Maxwell?"
33055What is it, Samuel?"
33055What is it?"
33055What next, I wonder?"
33055What of that?"
33055What would our mother say at all this?"
33055What''s all this rubbish?"
33055Where are you going, pray?"
33055Where is my mother?"
33055Where was Griselda?
33055Who can tell what may be discovered?
33055Who shall dare to limit the love and forgiveness of God in Christ?
33055Why does the reality of love so often flee away, and only a ghost- like shadow and pale semblance remain?
33055Why is it that it is so often missed?
33055Why is she absent to- night?
33055Why not?
33055Why wo n''t you speak, Graves?
33055Why, child, do n''t you know he is a great catch?"
33055Why-- why do I see no choice exotics in your hand, or on your breast?
33055Will you ask your brother if I may have lessons?"
33055Will you come and comfort her?"
33055Will you come, sir?"
33055Will you discover from Miss Herschel if the tale is true-- now-- I mean now?
33055Will you have the lanthorn; you can leave it as you come back?"
33055Will you sell some for me?
33055Will you take me at once to a shop in the Abbey Churchyard, and inquire for me the price they will fetch?
33055Wo n''t you take a seat here?"
33055Yes, I have seen him; but what is he to me?"
33055Yes, I''ll order the chair-- maybe two; but you''ll dine first?
33055Yet it is not like him to cast me off, is it, Graves?"
33055You are walking?
33055You know the_ on dit_ is that she is to be Lady Danby?"
33055You know, then, her story was true?"
33055You will be a good little maid to her?"
33055You will make Him your Friend, my dear?
33055You will send the boy Zack for a chair, wo n''t you?"
33055and how could she fulfil her promise?
33055and were you kind in your manner to the poor little girl?
33055can not you do something for us?
33055did you see that?"
33055light a torch, and light these ladies on their way; or shall he call a chair, madam?"
33055must I make the way easy?"
33055or the son of man, that Thou considerest him?''
33055she asked in a low voice--"are you sure?
33055she said;"did-- did he die?
33055that beautiful sacred name, for it was my mother''s?"
33055what will you do when I am gone?"
33055what,"Mr. Herschel said,"did I say?
33055would the truth have changed the aspect of things for him-- made the situation more or less painful?
33055you have been such a long, long time; and have you brought her-- the lady-- the young lady?"
56227''Twould be interesting to know,further trumpeted Lady Maria,"which of these gentlemen is supposed to have run away with the widow Bellairs?"
56227( Child, how do you spell quarrel?) 56227 A mask?
56227After all,said she as she tripped along, and the dimples deepened as the smile broadened,"who knows?
56227Ah, Jasper, lad,cried Tom Stafford, and struck him upon his shoulder,"lying in wait for us?
56227Ah, Kitty,whispered Mr. Stafford in Mistress Bellairs''shell- like ear,"do you like them so tender- green?
56227Ah, is it so? 56227 Ah, madam,"cried he reproachfully,"is''t not enough to keep me for ever in Hades, must you needs add to my torture by showing me another in Paradise?
56227All the afternoon? 56227 Alone?"
56227And I never asked,said she, in a melting tone,"after your wound?
56227And after?
56227And did you think,said she, laying the case on the table,"that I would have the face to ask a_ rich_ lover to elope with me?"
56227And how have I alarmed you? 56227 And if I grant you yours,"said he, as his heart beat very fast,"what will you give me?"
56227And is that how you would save my reputation? 56227 And merry, and good company?"
56227And what may his arm be doing over my head?
56227And what of the fool that picked them up and read them?
56227And what, sir,interrupted Sir Jasper in an ominous voice--"what, sir, may I ask, was your purpose in walking this way to- night?"
56227And whither went they?
56227And will you go,said the stranger,"without having seen my face?"
56227Are_ you_ the scoundrel, then,said he, marching upon O''Hara,"who dared to lay hands upon an unprotected lady in the very streets of Bath?"
56227As far as your door?
56227Ay,said he,"where should I be now, Kitty?
56227Baah-- baa ooh.... What can I have seen in him? 56227 Bear you malice, is it?"
56227But has the woman a dimple?
56227But what has happened, woman, what has happened?
56227But, think you, was Sir Jasper at home?
56227Come, come, we understand each other,said he;"will you walk with me?
56227Come, devil take it all, Sir Jasper,said he,"and what is it about?"
56227Come,said Mistress Bellairs,"what else have you against him?
56227Could you-- could_ you_ have_ found_ it, Sir Jasper, I wonder? 56227 Did I not tell you your honour was safe with me?
56227Did she say an hour?
56227Did you write that letter? 56227 Do I look like a woman who needs to drink waters for''wholesomeness?''"
56227Do?
56227Eh,cried the Irishman,"what is that ye say?"
56227Eh?
56227Eh?
56227Eh?
56227Expecting visitors, Julia?
56227Faith,cried Stafford,"ca n''t you cover that head of yours, somehow, O''Hara?
56227Fie, fie, who wears a peruke now- a- days, unless it be your country cousin? 56227 Fight you, sir?"
56227Fly to his bosom? 56227 For goodness sake,"moaned the lady from her pillows,"what are you talking about now?"
56227From your tenderest years she sedulously inculcated in you earnest principles and pious practices, did she not?
56227Gad, we have ten minutes yet, we will have her up, eh, Verney? 56227 Good God, and whom did she refer to?"
56227Has she? 56227 He said,"sobbed Julia,"''May n''t a man even go for a stroll?''
56227How dare you ask it?
56227How like you the mode?
56227How now,cried Sir Jasper fiercely,"have you heard from Villiers?
56227How now?
56227How now?
56227How?
56227I asked you, sir,he demanded with an ominous rise in his voice,"if you wore your own hair?"
56227I wonder,she said innocently,"if my carriage be ready, and whether Lady Maria is well installed?"
56227I, vexed?
56227I? 56227 I?"
56227I?
56227If I wept,said she,"must my tears have been for you?"
56227In his bedroom?
56227Is it me?
56227Is it not, perhaps, a thought fly- away? 56227 Is it possible that you and I are of the same sex?"
56227Is it true that you love Lady Standish?
56227Is it we?
56227Is it your intention to live with your mother when you are married?
56227Is n''t poor Denis O''Hara to run away with you merely to save your reputation?
56227Is this your gratitude?
56227La, girl,cried Mistress Bellairs with a scream, and upset her chocolate,"going to fight this morning?
56227Lud, madam, how can I tell? 56227 Madam, and what might that mean?"
56227Madam,said Lord Verney,"what can I do for you?"
56227Madeira?
56227May I not hold your hand?
56227Me darling, sure, wo n''t I love to feel your little pearls of nails on my cheek?
56227Me sisther, man?
56227Mistress Bellairs''love, my lady, and will you read this letter at once?
56227Mr. O''Hara,said Sir Jasper,"will you shake hands with me?"
56227Must I grant your request when you refuse me mine?
56227My poor Bellairs,said she,"how oft has it not been my pleasure and my duty to fill such a glass as this and convey it to his lips?
56227Nay, why should I be vexed?
56227Not-- eh, not-- er, old Colonel Villiers?
56227Now, my lord?
56227Now, whom,said Mistress Bellairs, in a tone of good- humoured banter,"would you choose, I wonder?
56227Oh fie, my lord, who would have deemed you so bloodthirsty? 56227 Oh, Sir Jasper, will you not listen to me?
56227Oh, faith,said he, without a shade of uneasiness,"should n''t I be a poor fellow if I did not contrive to persuade you on the way?
56227Oh, heavens,said Mistress Bellairs,"is what I hear true?
56227Oh, how can I explain? 56227 Oh, how can you think such a thing of me?
56227Oh, indeed?
56227Oh, madam, how could that be?
56227Oh, merciful heavens,_ what_ gossip mean you?
56227Oh, what have you done, what have you made me do?
56227Oh,said she,"it is true, then, what I heard?"
56227Pistols or swords?
56227Pray, sir,with an angry titter,"how will even your fertile wits prove that?"
56227Pray,said Mistress Kitty inquisitorially_ ex cathedra_,"how many times a day do you tell that unfortunate man that you love him?
56227Pretty, man?
56227Punch?
56227Safe?
56227Say you so?
56227Shall I wait upon Lord Verney and suggest pistols at seven o''clock to- morrow morning in Hammer''s Fields? 56227 Sir Jasper, what do you suspect?
56227Sir Jasper? 56227 Sir Jasper?"
56227Sir, would you know better than I?
56227Sir,interrupted he at this juncture,"excuse me, but I should be glad to know if you wear your hair or a wig?"
56227Sir?
56227So if I scream, sir, and give you a scratch or two, you will bear me no malice?
56227So madam,he turned again to his wife,"this is your choice, eh?
56227So,said Mistress Kitty,"he has been a brute again, has he?
56227Somewhat irregular?
56227Speak not to him of lambs,whispered Stafford;"do not you see he is all for blood and thunder?"
56227Sure what else can I say to you, with my eyes upon your angel face?
56227Sure, did n''t I see the little pink foot of you step out, and did n''t I know it before ever it reached the ground?
56227Sure,''tis mad, I know ye are, lepping mad, Sir Jasper, but ought you not to be ashamed of yourself before the lady? 56227 Surely you do not mean me to understand that Lady Standish has any connection with this extraordinary scene?"
56227Surely you would not contradict a lady?
56227Swords?
56227Tell me,cried he panting,"what did these letters contain?"
56227Tell me,said he, and bent to her,"tell me was it Lord Verney after all?"
56227Tell me,she said with a parched lip,"what shall I do?"
56227Then I may read it?
56227These servants grow monstrous unpunctual,she said;"are we not to dine to- day?"
56227To be sure,thought he,"do n''t I know it''s only some old hen being joggled home to roost, after losing sixpence and her temper at piquet?
56227Tom Stafford,said Sir Jasper, for the twentieth time,"how goes the hour?"
56227Tush-- you mean he is good- natured, I suppose?
56227Was I not there?
56227Was that your pet name for your husband?
56227Weeping?
56227Well, Lydia, well?
56227Well, my Verney?
56227Well, my good creature, and what say you?
56227Well, then?
56227Well, well,said the lady, mollified,"and what says the rest of your Bath acquaintance?"
56227Well, what said he?
56227What did I say?
56227What has come to you?
56227What have you there?
56227What in the world---- And d''ye think I did n''t know you?
56227What is it, my dear? 56227 What is it?"
56227What is my pretty Bellairs up to now? 56227 What is the difficulty, what is the difficulty?"
56227What is this, now?
56227What is to be done now?
56227What is to be done?
56227What means this?
56227What of_ Red Curl_, madam? 56227 What shall I do?
56227What will you do?
56227What''s come to me at all?
56227What''s that, what''s that, nevvy?
56227What,said the injured husband,"what if they should have taken another road?"
56227What?
56227When you have done your little conversation, gentlemen,said Mr. O''Hara good- naturedly,"perhaps you will let me put in a word edgeways?"
56227Whence?
56227Where are you going?
56227Where is she?
56227Where''s my wife, sir?
56227Who are you?
56227Who cares for Sir Jasper? 56227 Who is that remarkably agreeable person?"
56227Who then were your tears for, if they were not for me? 56227 Why do you fight?"
56227Why then the more reason,she said, cutting him short;"must I not show myself duly discreet?
56227Why will you men write?
56227Why, who knows?
56227Why, you know me, you know me well,said she,"am I not Mistress Bellairs, Kitty Bellairs-- am I not, Kitty?"
56227Will you not give me your arm to my carriage?
56227Would you lay hands upon the Lord''s anointed? 56227 Wretched girl,"cried Julia, and her eyes flashed,"what dost thou mean?"
56227You do not, then?
56227You goad me, sir; do_ I_ want to fight Villiers? 56227 Zounds, man, would you have him sit down in his dishonour?"
56227''Ha, have I got you now, my friend?''
56227''I''m Misther O''Hara''s sister,''says she----""And am I not?"
56227''Insulted you,''says I,''and where are you running to?
56227''Sure, is n''t it all mad we are more or less?
56227''Tis their nature man; and then, must they not follow the mode?
56227''Tis you, you----""What are you staring at, girl?"
56227''Well, what matter of that?''
56227''Why, what did he do to you?''
56227''Would you?
56227( thus she prayed Sir Jasper in a frightful whisper) would he in mercy walk softer?
56227("And did I doubt my own taste?"
56227--''Ha, would you step between me and my wife?
56227A lady, Ned?
56227A little conundrum, eh?
56227Am I not right, Mr. O''Hara, in believing you to have written a letter to my wife?"
56227And Master Stafford?
56227And hark ye, where are the pistols?"
56227And how is it you are not overjoyed, Sir Jasper?
56227And she wo n''t go away, eh, Ned?"
56227And so Sir Jasper''s left you; so Sir Jasper''s gone; and with whom, my dear?"
56227And then she added:"Has there not been enough of this?"
56227And then, what would the world say if you did not marry me after travelling all night with such a wild Irish devil?
56227And what do people think of that?"
56227And what woman is not ready to judge her sister woman-- above all, what maid to condemn her mistress?
56227And when did you see Death, my lord?"
56227And when you are shot,''twill be a fine satisfaction to think that your wife can console herself with the owner of the red curl, eh?
56227And where is Sir Jasper supposed to fight my Lord Verney?
56227And who''s she got with her in tow now?
56227And why Lord Verney, may I inquire?"
56227And with whom does Sir Jasper fight?"
56227And, blast me, is not the pistol the deadlier weapon and therefore the most suited?
56227And, indeed,"What had come to him?"
56227And, oh dear, oh dear; what_ am_ I to do?"
56227And, pray, if you spend all you have, and empty your purse, do you think your purse becomes a very valuable possession?
56227And, worse still, how many times a day do you want him to say that he loves you?
56227Any sign of the Duchess?"
56227Are these your thanks?"
56227Are they all rats now- a- days?
56227Are you a good hand at the barkers, Jasper?"
56227Bless me,"she cried to herself testily;"is a woman to have no choice between mid- winter, green spring, or the dog days?
56227But then, Colonel, did not he think you had cut him out with his wife, and was not that a compliment?
56227But what''s to prevent me beguiling myself for a bit by dreaming of some lovely young female coming to visit me in me misfortune?
56227But where are they supposed to fight?
56227But, indeed, ma''am, as Mr. Mahoney says, what does it matter to a gay gentleman like Mr. O''Hara?
56227By the way, Verney, were n''t you also to have walked with the jealous husband this morning!--Ah, by the same token, and you too, Spicer?
56227Ca n''t you indeed?
56227Can not a husbandman detect a poacher on his land and yet laugh as he sets the gin?
56227Colonel Villiers?"
56227Could it be he, think you?
56227Could it be?
56227Did Sir Jasper take any luggage?"
56227Did ever woman spend a more ridiculous hour-- and in Heaven''s name, what''s to be done?"
56227Did he kiss you on the forehead instead of on the lips?
56227Did you not see?
56227Do I not understand from our friend here that he called Lord Verney a rat?
56227Do I understand you correctly, my dear child?
56227Do n''t you see the lady has fainted?"
56227Do you mean, sir-- am I to understand, Sir Jasper--?
56227Do you not believe me?"
56227Do you want to be the only husband in Bath whose wife is not in the fashion?
56227Does it hurt you?
56227Egad, Lord Verney, would you be last at the meeting?"
56227Faith, Tom, me boy, is that you?
56227Fie, fie, and must I not think of my reputation?"
56227Free, madam?"
56227Go on; what has Lady Standish been found out in, pray?"
56227Had I killed Sir Jasper, could I have looked upon myself other than as a murderer?"
56227Hath a man ever had from_ me_ an unsolicited avowal?
56227Have I ever thrown the most ardent lover more than a''perhaps''and''it may be,''a smile, a dimple, a finger- tip?
56227Have I not learnt of the great Angelo Malevolti himself?
56227Have I not read your letter?
56227Have you brought another bath- chair for our man?
56227Have you understood, rascal?
56227He folded the letter, placed it beside its fellow, and once more, with a sort of bellow, he cried,"_ Patience!_"*****"Well, Lydia?"
56227He strove to unfasten the chair door, when:"What?"
56227He turned for a moment to bellow again into the room:"Tim, you limb of Satan, where are you at all?
56227Here, I say!--Selina, fool, have you gone to sleep?"
56227Hey?"
56227How could I ever have called him a cucumber?
56227How dare you come and tell me such a pack of nonsense?
56227How dare you hold her?"
56227How long have I been with you, sir, alone?
56227I exclaimed as he reached the door,''not a word for poor Julia?''
56227I write such brimstone nonsense?
56227If he is killed, how will you feel then?"
56227In God''s name how comes he upon Colonel Villiers?
56227Is anything wrong with my face?"
56227Is he not handsome, child?"
56227Is it not enough that a poor woman''s heart should be set a- fluttering by over- much love, must it now go pit- a- pat again for over- much hate?
56227Is not me own first cousin a real raw lunatic in Kinsale Asylum this blessed day?
56227Is not this business the merest fooling; sheer waste of time when the real fellow-- villain!--has eluded me?"
56227Is that devil Sir Jasper going to fight Lord Verney this morning?
56227Is that the heart of a cucumber?
56227Is this your help?
56227Julia, is there anyone, anything between us?"
56227Kitty, Kitty,"dropping from her height of tragedy very quickly and landing on a whimper again,"is it not sad?
56227Light up, light up-- who can speak in the dark?"
56227Look at it, you cruel woman; is n''t it all yours, and are n''t you sticking pins into it for sheer devilment, this minute?
56227Look over it, eh?"
56227Lydia, you untruthful, impertinent girl, how dare you tell me such a story?"
56227Might he, might he?
56227Mistress Bellairs?
56227My Lord Verney, will you give me those three minutes?"
56227Now tell me-- I gather that your worthy husband has set forth upon an affair of honour, eh?
56227Now, damn you body and soul, Sir Jasper, how dare you ask me such a question?"
56227O''Hara?"
56227Of course you must have heard the hour?"
56227Oh, heavens, what has happened?
56227Oh,"pursued Mr. O''Hara, waxing louder and more voluble still,"sure what could I say, with my heart in my mouth stopping the way?
56227One word, fairest:--When may I dream again?
56227Or will she keep it and let it speak to her, every hair a tongue, of the burning flame of love that she has kindled in this mortal breast?
56227People talk so in this giddy place, and have you not your aged aunt to wait upon?
56227Poor Ned, he made a discovery something like yours, eh?
56227Rabbit me!--what''s that?"
56227SCENE XVI"And now, child, what''s the town talk?"
56227See, now, is that small ale that bursts from the wounds?
56227Shall I refuse aid to the bruised sinner or to the smoking lamp whose conscience is awakened?
56227Shall I,"she sniffed,"be stricter than becomes a Christian?
56227Shall he not mortally avenge himself upon him who has robbed him of his honour?
56227Shall we not have more trust in the ruling of a merciful Heaven?
56227Shall we say a duel?"
56227Sir Jasper shook himself and interrupted with a snarl:"To what, sir, do I owe the honour?"
56227Speak, or must I drag the words from your throat?"
56227Squire Juniper?
56227Stafford was weak with laughter, and tears rolled from his eyes as he gasped:"Let us see, who can the Judas be?
56227Stay, is she tall and fair and slight?"
56227Sure, after our little game the other night, was n''t he that dove- like, poor fellow, a child might have milked him?"
56227Sure, am I not here?
56227Sure,"said he, with a wink,"what else could a poor woman do to save her reputation?"
56227Tell him all?
56227Tell me, madam, how can I serve you?
56227That is the case, is it not?
56227The Bath Comedy SCENE I"What?
56227The one man I thought... the one man I could have.... Oh, how did you dare?
56227These suspicions of his are unfounded?
56227This friend of ours has had a mortal affront, has he not?
56227Verney, you dog, what is this?
56227Verney-- Lord Verney?
56227Was a man so lightly swayed?
56227Was all a woman''s loving heart to count for so little, and a pretty gown, a new shoe, a coquettish manner for so much?
56227Was it last night or a hundred years ago that we met?
56227Was it so easy really?
56227Was the, ah-- quarrel about cards, or some such social trifle?"
56227We shall find all our happiness with each other, shall we not?
56227Well, Jasper, what did I say?
56227Were there two of them, a black and a ruddy?
56227What are you going to fight old Villiers about, I should like to know?"
56227What could a Christian do, a gentleman and a shepherd of souls, but catch her lest she fall?
56227What do these insinuations mean?
56227What in the name of God do you mean?
56227What is it now?
56227What is the use of them if they do not do their business?
56227What makes you mumble so?
56227What of Mr. Stafford, now?"
56227What of the man who kissed the dimple, madam?
56227What pleasantry is this?"
56227What says my Verney?"
56227What shall I do?
56227What signify these manners?
56227What would you say to the Marquis, Lydia?"
56227What would_ you_ advise me to do in the matter?
56227What''s taken you?
56227What_ is_ the difficulty?"
56227Where are my eyeglasses?
56227Where is my Lord Verney?"
56227Where is that brimstone idiot, my servant?
56227Where is that woman of yours?"
56227Whisper, Foulks, is he going to shoot in his cage-- beg pardon, I mean his chair?"
56227Who am I,"she said with the most angelic humility,"that two such gallant gentlemen should stake their lives for me?
56227Who can it be?
56227Who cares for gifts?
56227Who did you say?
56227Who''s that over there?
56227Who''s that, did you say?
56227Who, shall it be?
56227Who?
56227Who?
56227Wholesome, sir?
56227Why now, if Kitty prevents the first duel, can not I prevent the second?
56227Why should you fight at all?
56227Why, my lady, what can a poor servant- maid like me know of the goings on of gentles?
56227Will she cast it from her?
56227Will that serve you?"
56227Will you be able, think you, to face the fatigues to- morrow night?"
56227Will you leave it to me?"
56227Worshipper, vastly well; but husband?
56227Would you have me coquette with my husband, as if-- God forgive me for even saying such a thing-- as if I were not wife, but mistress?"
56227You are my mother''s oldest friend; will you give me the support of your company and protection?"
56227You are vexed with me?
56227You know what you are to do to- night?"
56227You want reasons, my Lord Verney?"
56227You were always a pious woman, were you not?
56227You would like to have the approval of the Church upon your acts, would you not?"
56227You?
56227Zooks, my boy, remember he has some prior claim-- what shall I say?
56227_ How could you_?"
56227_ I_ elope with the widow Bellairs, Lady Maria, ma''am?
56227_ I_ treacherous, my Lady?
56227ahem?"
56227cried Kitty, and kicked her little toes under the silk counterpane with exquisite enjoyment,"and what does the Bishop answer, I wonder?"
56227cried Lady Standish,"what have I done?
56227cried Mistress Kitty,"what said he?"
56227cried Sir Jasper, in awful tones,"did you write this letter?
56227cried Sir Jasper, pricking his strained ear,"d''ye hear?"
56227cried a faint voice from behind the folds of lace,"what conduct is this?"
56227cried poor Lady Standish, and felt her knees tremble,"what is this now?
56227cried she,"_ you_ love Lord Verney?"
56227cried the Colonel, and struck away Sir Jasper''s hand with a furious blow,"I?
56227in God''s name can not a man lose a throw in the game of happiness and yet laugh?
56227is there one of you that is not a great- grandfather?
56227or my mistress?
56227or my pleasure?''
56227said she,"would your mother say?
56227shall not a gentleman be ever ready to meet his fate with a smile?
56227she thought to herself, with a great thump of the heart, astonished at her ravisher''s silence,"what if it should be someone else after all?"
56227were all the accessories of the play to be so perfect, and was the chief character to prove such a lamentable failure in his part?
56227when you upset a dish of tea over his waistcoat?
56227who shall blame him if he seek a pleasant glint of vice to change him of you?"
56227you would, would you?"
