22816XX BUSTER BEAR CARRIES OFF THE PAIL OF FARMER BROWN''S BOY The question is, did Buster Bear steal Farmer Brown''s boy''s pail?
55583''Whatever has happened to you?''

55583And did men travel fast?
55583And now her leg was utterly useless, here was Kahwa a helpless cub: what was she to do?
55583And what of all the insects and smaller things that must be perishing by millions every minute?
55583And what of all the living things that had died?
55583And what should we find to eat in all this smoking wilderness?
55583Besides, what else were we to do?
55583But how about me?
55583But how could you expect me to be friendly to man after all that I have suffered at his hands?
55583But if she could not fight four men, could not we?
55583But what could we do?
55583But what was a bear doing abroad at high noon of such a day, and crashing through the bushes in that headlong fashion?
55583But what was the use of climbing a tree, when we had just seen the osprey killed on the top of one much higher than any that we could climb?
55583But what was the use, when it never got cold and my meals came every day?
55583CHAPTER VIII ALONE IN THE WORLD Have you any idea how frightfully stiff one is after nearly five months''consecutive sleep?
55583Could she not climb out?
55583Had the animals and birds that had passed us earlier in the day escaped?

55583How far away, we asked, were the men?
55583If so, had they again, while we slept, dragged her off somewhere else?
55583Is it hours or days or weeks since you were last awake?
55583Kill him?
55583Was it an animal, or a fungus, or only a mound of earth?
55583We could easily have caught him had we wished to, but why should we?
55583Were those the ropes with which they had dragged Kahwa the night before?
55583What company were they to me?
55583What could any dog expect who dared to face such a bear as Wooffa fighting for her children?
55583What could it be?
55583What more could I have done had I had my freedom longer?
55583What was it?
55583What was to be done now?
55583Where should we go?
55583Why could not men live in peace with us as we were willing to live in peace with them?
55583Why does man do it?
55583Would it not be glorious, I asked?
15528A_ pig_?
15528And Father''s?
15528And when is Silkie''s?
15528Are they going fishing?
15528Are you ill? 15528 How long will it be before I learn to box well?"
15528How much did you drink?
15528Is it a new kind of rabbit?
15528Is that soon?
15528Say, Cuff-- what was yer doin''up on that rock?
15528This maple- sugar-- does it taste as good as the sweet sap?
15528Want any more?
15528Well, now-- why on earth do you want a pig? 15528 What do you call those?"
15528What do you say?
15528What do you want?
15528What is it?
15528What''s that?
15528What''s that?

15528Where are they going, Mother?

15528Whose little bear are you? 15528 Will the ice go out of the river to- day?"
15528Yer want ter learn ter box, do n''t yer?
15528And he climbed up on his father''s knees and said--"Will you go and get a little pig, Father?"
15528And though he was no longer afraid that the man would catch him, he began to be afraid of something else.... A punishing?
15528And whatever is the matter with your face?"
15528And would you not naturally suppose that anybody with so many legs to carry him would be the champion walker of the world?
15528Are you my Cuffy?"
15528Have you the black measles?"
15528If any further recommendation is necessary, would it not be well to resort to the court of final appeal, the child himself?
15528Was it really himself he was looking at?
15528Well-- what do you think happened?
15528What do you suppose he was going to do?
15528What puzzled him most was this thought: How would he ever be able to eat again, with that horrid thing over his nose?
15528What shall I do?"
15528What would you do with a pig?"
15528When is my birthday?"
15528Where are your manners?"
15528Which do you think won-- Cuffy''s nose or his legs?...
15528Who has been playing with you?"
15528You remember that something is always happening in the forest?

40869Where is it, Ed?
40869Why do n''t you come on, I say, and help me catch him?
40869Why do n''t you eat him?
40869Would you undertake to get a genuine grizzly in this State?
40869*****"Are there any true grizzly bears in California?"
40869And do I know him?
40869And what became of Sil Reese?
40869And what became of the big black twin babies?
40869And what became of the boy?
40869And where is he now?
40869But how does a bear die?
40869Can you not see how it is?
40869Could he?
40869Do you know why a beast, a bear of all beasts, is so very much afraid of fire?
40869Dog?
40869He sat down on the grass, and, wearily wiping his forehead, he said to Monnehan,"Mr. Monnehan, how big was the bear that you saw?"
40869How will you have him-- dead or alive?"
40869Is he the representative of another genus?
40869Lie down and be eaten up while you lie there and kick up your heels and enjoy yourself?
40869Now, do you think you could find them?"
40869Or is he the Sloth Bear,_ Prochilous_( or_ Melursus_)_ labiatus_?
40869Pretty women are to be preferred; but pretty men?
40869The boy?
40869Were they running away from a thunder- storm?
40869What did it all mean?
40869What had become of this strange little army of silent brown boys?
40869What made these ugly rows of scars on my left hand?
40869What next?
40869When he had completed his investigation and stood once more before Monarch''s cage, he was asked:"Well, what is he?"
40869Where are they?"
40869Where had they gone and what did all this silent mystery mean?
40869Why ca n''t they live up in the chaparral, as they did before we came here to plant trees and try to make the world beautiful?
40869Why do n''t you come, I say, and help me catch him?"
40869Why do n''t you come?
40869Why not have the little black fellows fight a duel also?
40869Why not set the dog on him?
40869Why, if they''re so blasted dangerous, how did your missionaries ever manage to drive them up here from Mexico, anyhow?"
40869Will he?
40869Would he come any farther?
40869Would he?
40869Would n''t that be a fix?"
40869You like?"
40869You want to know what the boy is doing?
38733Are you there, my boy?
38733But what will we do with the big fish? 38733 Did n''t my little boy get stung by the bees?"
38733Do n''t you remember that sweet, sticky stuff you had on your bread last year, when your Uncle Grumpy came to visit us?
38733Father, what is that buzzing sound?
38733Father, where do we get honey? 38733 Have n''t you ever seen the bees flying around the flowers?
38733Honey from the flowers?
38733Honey growing, how do you mean?
38733How about it, my boy?
38733How do you know when you have a fish on the line?
38733How do you like the looks of it, boy?
38733How much corn can we have?
38733How will you manage today, father? 38733 If the flowers have honey, why do we have to come all this way to get the honey?
38733It is well to be able to take care of yourself, is n''t it?
38733May I eat a little of the honey, or must I wait till I get home?
38733Now, my boy,cried his father,"how much longer are you going to be?
38733Oh, my, what''s the matter with the boy? 38733 Oh,"said Bobby, astonished,"was that honey?"
38733Shall we go fishing?
38733What am I going to do for a big jar?
38733What do you do, father?
38733What makes the hole so black, father? 38733 Where?"
38733Why do n''t we get the honey, father? 38733 Why, where do they all come from?"
38733Will you run right away and never come near me again?
38733You did, eh? 38733 A small tree with very bright green leaves had bent over and touched Bobby on the shoulder and had whispered in his ear:What about Jane Bird?
38733After dinner, Bobby came timidly to his mother and asked:"Can I help you wash the dishes?"
38733Ai n''t It a Grand and Glorious Feeling?
38733And where''s the honey?
38733Are n''t you always glad to have Bobby help you?"
38733Bobby Bear, noticing this, said:"Why do you look to see if your claws are sharp, father?
38733But did he think for a minute of giving up?
38733Ca n''t we go right home now?"
38733Did n''t you bring any?"
38733Did you hear that?"
38733Do we dig it out of the ground?
38733Do you know what they were doing?
38733Do you see it?"
38733Do you think he showed it, though?
38733Have I ever eaten any?"
38733OFF FOR THE HONEY"Father, what is honey?
38733Or does it grow on trees?"
38733THEY VISIT THE FARMER''S CORNFIELD"Where are you going to get the corn?"
38733The first thing she said was:"Where''s the honey?
38733Then, with a glance at Mother Bear, who was standing by smiling he added:"Perhaps it is because you''re all through with your house work, eh?"
38733What about little Bobby Bear all this time?
38733What do we have to take along?"
38733What, the fish he had caught himself?
38733When are we going to start eating the fish?"
38733Where are they all going?"
38733Why ca n''t we go to the flowers the way the bee does and get all the honey we want?"
38733Why do we walk around all day?"
38733asked the little bear,"and what are they doing up there?
4704Are n''t we having the darndest luck getting you a cub for a house- pet, Nanette?
4704D''ye remember when you fell out of the canoe, Boy?
4704Miki, old boy, you have n''t forgotten a thing-- not a dam''thing, have you? 4704 Remember how you''n''the cub were tied in the bow, an''you got to scrapping and fell overboard just above the rapids?
4704Then could you, with one of my Indians and a team, arrange to swing around by way of the Jackson''s Knee? 4704 What''ll we do?
4704What''s the sense of sleeping on a day like this? 4704 You mean to say that Miki-- this dog-- has killed a man?"
4704And who will know where you are gone, if the cage door is left open?
4704And why not?
4704Because he had freed her from the bondage of The Brute?
4704Because he had killed Jacques Le Beau, her husband, in defence of her?
4704Besides, had he not whipped the big owl in the forest?
4704But tell me this: WHAT MAKES NEEWA SO BIG?"
4704COMPRENEZ?
4704Can you tell me why wolves sometimes go mad in the heart of winter when there is no heat or rotten meat to turn them sick?
4704Can you tell me why, m''sieu?
4704Did you ever see Nanette Le Beau?"
4704Do you hear?
4704Do you know her, Challoner?
4704Do you remember?
4704Do you understand, Henri Durant?
4704Do you want to go with us and see the fun, Nanette?"
4704Eh, wo n''t you like that?
4704Go for a hunt?"
4704Got anything to add to that, Miki?
4704He had often shaken himself in the canoe; why not here?
4704How much was it?"
4704How the deuce could she have taken care of you and the cub, eh?
4704I say, what will happen to Durant''s dog when they meet at Post Fort 0''God?
4704I wonder what happened to the cub?"
4704NON?
4704Pretty late for a call, is n''t it?"
4704Remember what I told you, that I was going to take you and the cub down to the Girl?
4704Remember?
4704Shall I bring in the skins, MADAME?"
4704The Girl I said was an angel, and''d love you to death, and all that?
4704Then why was it that she ran away, and did not come back?
4704This wonderful creature with eyes that were glowing fire and defiance, and a look in her face that he had never seen in any woman''s face before?
4704Was it possible that Miki could have made friends with any other bear than the cub of long ago?
4704Was she sleeping here, as she had slept in the darkness of their den?
4704Was that ill- jointed lop- eared offspring of the man- beast an enemy, too?
4704Was this Nanette, his slave?
4704Were those twisting convolutions of this new creature''s body and the club- like swing of his tail an invitation to fight?
4704What could the Factor want of him at that hour, he wondered?
4704Why do you always keep his squalling until I come in?
4704Why had she run away with that terrible cry when he killed the man- beast?
4704Will you give him back-- NOW?"
4704Will you let us take him?"
4704Would Noozak, his mother, come up presently out of one of those dark forest aisles?
4704Would he do that for HIM?
4704You saw that sunset to- night?
4704Your outfit starts for your post up in the Reindeer Lake county to- morrow, does n''t it?"
28302Are n''t you glad now, Bo,he said proudly,"that I proposed this boat business?
28302Are you sure you have reformed, Horatio?
28302Bo, do you suppose our camp fire is still burning back yonder?
28302Bo,he said faintly,"do all boats do that?"
28302Bo,he said presently,"you''re a friend of mine, are n''t you?
28302Bo,said Horatio meekly,"did you bring the fiddle?"
28302Bosephus,said his companion, as they paused,"were those people you lived with nice people?
28302But I say, Ratio,interrupted Bo again,"how did it come you never learned to play the second part of that tune?"
28302But go on with your story, Ratio; what happened to you after you fell out of the Christmas tree?
28302But he came to a cabin and an old gray man, And says he,''Where am I going? 28302 Ca n''t we let the money go this time and not have any make- believe?"
28302Ca n''t you move up a little faster, Bo? 28302 Could I have him if it was?"
28302Could we rob them?
28302Do n''t you wish we had some of those?
28302Do you expect him to climb up your pole? 28302 Do you like roasting ears?"
28302Fat enough for what?
28302Has Zack Todd got a gun, Bosephus?
28302How many dogs do you suppose there are, Bo?
28302How many times does that gun shoot?
28302I hate to leave old Arkansaw, do n''t you, Bo?
28302Is it?
28302Is that a long range gun, Bo?
28302Is this what you call conquering the world, Ratio?
28302It is, is it? 28302 It was the old man that abused you, was n''t it?"
28302Knocked you about and half starved you?
28302Little dogs, Bo? 28302 Look here, Bo; you''re not thinking about putting me on that cyclone thing they call a train, are you?"
28302Muzzle loader?
28302Oh, Ratio, will you?
28302Ratio,he said at last,"do n''t you suppose when we get a lot of money-- a big lot, I mean-- we might give some to those people I used to live with?"
28302Ratio,said Bo, pausing suddenly,"what is that I hear scurrying through the bushes every now and then?"
28302Ratio,said the little boy, confidentially,"did you really intend to-- to have me-- you know, Ratio-- for-- for supper until I taught you the tune?
28302Suppose we move on and give Mr. Jay Bird a chance?
28302Then the stranger asked the fiddler''Wo n''t you play the rest for me?'' 28302 These fat babies-- little darky babies-- are very amusing, too, Bosephus, do n''t you think so?"
28302What are you beating that cub for?
28302What do you suppose is in that bundle, Bo?
28302What have you been doing?
28302What have you to say for yourselves?
28302What is it, Bo? 28302 What shall we do, Bo, what shall we do now?"
28302What violin? 28302 Where did you come from?"
28302Where do they have those boxes, Bo?
28302Who are you, and what are you doing here?
28302Why do n''t you play the rest of that tune, Horatio?
28302Why do n''t you pull?
28302Why, Zack would n''t care for us collecting rent, would he?
28302''Oh, ridy- diddy, diddy- diddy----''how does it go?
28302A true friend?"
28302Are you ready to begin, Ratio?"
28302Are you waiting for him to make his toilet before he appears?
28302By and by, when he gets fat-- how long do you suppose it will take him to get fat, Bo?
28302Did you, Ratio?"
28302Do you always think the world''s coming to an end when you are taken that way?"
28302Fat enough, I mean?"
28302Furthermore, you can call me Ratio, too, see?
28302Have you got one, too?"
28302Having fun all alone?"
28302How do I look, Bo?
28302How was that?"
28302How?"
28302I----""You can sing it?"
28302Is my hat becoming, Bo?"
28302Little snapping dogs?"
28302Nice fat people, I mean?"
28302No doubt they had caught and killed him by this time, and what would he do now without his faithful friend?
28302Now you are sorry and want to go to them, do you?"
28302Tell me, Bo, how do I look?"
28302Then he said thoughtfully:--"Do you suppose, Bo, it was that nice fat one?"
28302Water that you drink, and drown things in?"
28302What do you say, Ratio?
28302What does the boy mean?"
28302What friends?"
28302What happened then?"
28302Where?"
28302Why had he not heeded Bo?
28302You do n''t mind dogs, do you?"
28302You mean to do so, do n''t you?"
28302You would n''t mind a steamboat, would you, Ratio?"
28302[ Illustration:"HOW DO I LOOK, BO?"]
28302said Bo;"and w- what happened, Horatio?"
28302says he----""Maybe you can do what the stranger did, Bosephus-- maybe you can play it yourself, eh?"
28302where are you?"
23499And why not?
23499Are you sure he came into the timber?
23499Do you track''i m thur, Mark?
23499Had I missed my aim? 23499 How do you tell that?"
23499Is he in it?
23499The snow all around me was dyed to a crimson; but what had become of my terrible antagonist? 23499 To swim to the shore?
23499Was there no way of approaching them? 23499 Whar''s the bar?"
23499What could I eat? 23499 What could it mean?
23499What is it, doctor?
23499What next? 23499 What was to be done?
23499Where, doctor? 23499 Where?
23499Why how could they be two,asked the guide in astonishment,"when it rained yesterday before sun- up?
23499You have killed one hundred and forty- five, then?
23499You may ask why I had n''t a fire? 23499 Your sure it''s no grizzly?"
23499` How? 23499 ` How?''
23499` I''m a- comin'',''he replied;`''Taint so easy to get through hyar-- that you, Redwood? 23499 ` What is it?
23499` What?'' 23499 ` Who the hell''s thar?''
23499But after getting through this shell, where should we find the inmates?
23499But how many other animals have these crude naturalists omitted to describe?
23499But how to cook it?
23499But how was I to get away from the spot?
23499But the question was, could I reach it before the bull?
23499But what caused the dust to rise?
23499But what was there in their presence to draw down the maledictions of the padre, which he continued to lavish upon them most unsparingly?
23499But where was the fifth of the bears?
23499But why should the''coon not` tree''upon it, as well as any other?
23499By heading for Independence we should at once get clear of the buffalo- range, and what other game was to be depended on?
23499Could I climb the tree?
23499Could they do so in the light?
23499Could we trust our fair companions with a secret?
23499Eh, Mark?"
23499Even could I have done so, might not the dog follow and seize me in the water?
23499Had he taken to one?
23499Had the cougar got away, or was he still within the thicket?
23499Hain''t I, Mark?
23499Hain''t I, Mark?"
23499How could Redwood tell that it was the hour of noon?
23499How is the muskrat to get under water there?
23499How then was he to prevent them from escaping by the hole, while we removed the covering or roof?
23499How to get him out?
23499How was the cougar to be started?
23499How was this number to be fed on the way?
23499How were we to capture one or all of them?
23499How?
23499I knew that his shanty sot on high ground, but how wur I to get thur?
23499I saw this with feelings akin to terror, for I knew that the snow would soon blind the trail; and how, then, was my friend to follow it, and find me?
23499I thought of the floating alligator, of its intestines-- what if I inflated them?
23499I was now safe from all immediate danger, but how was the affair to end?
23499I was on an islet, in a lake, only half a mile from its shores-- alone, it is true, and without a boat; but what of that?
23499Is it from this that he derives his trivial name?
23499Is it the quality of the blood or the thickness of the skin that guides to this preference?
23499It wur like a island; but what could hev brought a island thur?
23499Kin we do better than foller''em up?
23499Might not this also succeed with the canvas- backs?
23499S''pose we try''i m, massa?''
23499Should my shot miss, or even should it only wound him, how was I to escape?
23499Should we at once turn our faces to the settlement, how were we to subsist on the way?
23499Should we follow the road?
23499That was gone, and whence was their next morsel to come?
23499The animals must have passed since it rained; but why not immediately after, in the early morning?
23499The doctor, what of him?
23499The next moment was heard Redwood''s voice crying aloud--"Look out thur?
23499The provision saved from the wreck would not last us a week, and when that was consumed how were we to procure more?
23499The tracks were fresh-- the road a large one-- thousands of buffaloes must have passed over it; where were they now?
23499Thur made since the rain, yu''ll admit that?"
23499Upon what do they feed?
23499We would keep the` cimmaron''for to- morrow; next day, the man- root; and the next,--what next?
23499What chance of killing a deer, or any other creature, with these?
23499What course was to be adopted?
23499What do you want?''
23499What else could they be firing at?
23499What had set it dancing?
23499What the hell''s the matter?
23499What was next to be done?
23499What was to be done to prevent this?
23499What was to be done?
23499What was to be done?
23499What would it come to should I not be relieved?
23499Where do these immense flocks come from?
23499Where was A--?
23499Where?"
23499Who could tell a pigeon story?
23499Who had rescued me from his deadly embrace?
23499Who was to do it?
23499Who were the eight cavaliers that accompanied the waggon?
23499Why did the body of the alligator float?
23499Why was Ike''s rifle not heard if he saw the bear treed?
23499and if it does?''
23499cried Redwood, who was first up to the waggon,"whar did ye see''t?"
23499d''you say?"
23499ejaculated Ike,"whur kid the varmint a gone?"
23499in what manner, mio padre?''
23499starve?
23499what are ye hollowin''about?''
23499what is it?''
23499what is to be done?''
23499where?"
23499you will exclaim,"a wild boar in the forests of Missouri?
60209''Well,''Alex said,''why did n''t you shoot him?'' 60209 After a while Alex said,''Well, Mike, where is the bear skin you were going to bring us?''
60209And all the time he was saying,''Oh, why did n''t I mind my papa? 60209 Can you take a long, deep breath, little Cub Bear?"
60209Did n''t you know that that was a porcupine, and that he was covered with quills, on purpose to stick into people that touched him? 60209 Do you think that was the last of him?
60209How can you live on the desert, when there is no water to drink, and nothing to eat there?
60209How did he happen to have such a hole in his mouth? 60209 How many of them are there?"
60209One evening, while the men were telling stories, one of them said,''Did you ever hear of the big grizzly, called Club- Foot?'' 60209 The Papa Bear ran in as fast as he could, and what do you think he saw?
60209''Did n''t you see old Club- Foot?''
60209And how do you suppose they got him on board?
60209And just then the owl saw the animal and said,"Who- o- o?
60209And little Cub Bear said,"What can you do?"
60209And the little Cub Bear said,"What can you do?"
60209And the little Cub Bear said,"What can you do?"
60209And the little Cub Bear said,"What can you do?"
60209And the little Cub Bear said,"What can you do?"
60209And the little Cub Bear said,"What can you do?"
60209And the little Cub Bear said,"What can you do?"
60209And the old owl looked wise and said,"Who- o- o- o?
60209And the owl said,"If you want me to I can be door- keeper, and when any one comes I can ask who he is, because, you know, I can say,''Who- o- o?
60209And they commenced to hunt for the things that they wanted, and what do you think they found?
60209And what do you think happened?
60209And what do you think he saw?
60209And what in the world do you suppose was in this pocket?
60209And when it struck the rock, what do you suppose happened?
60209As soon as it was light the Cub Bear looked way up on the mountain side and saw a cave, and where do you suppose they were?
60209But I do not think that was right, do you?
60209Can you guess what he was dreaming about?
60209Can you guess what he was dreaming about?
60209Can you guess what he was dreaming about?
60209Can you guess what he was dreaming about?
60209Can you guess what he was dreaming about?
60209Can you guess what it was?
60209Can you guess what the little Cub Bear was dreaming about?
60209Can you help us?"
60209Can you help us?"
60209Can you help us?"
60209Can you help us?"
60209Can you help us?"
60209Can you help us?"
60209Could you make so nice a mud house?
60209Did you ever give your papa a bear hug?
60209Did you ever see such a long nose in the whole world?"
60209Do all alligators have such holes in the roof of their mouths?"
60209Do n''t you think they did?
60209Do you know what glycerine is?
60209Do you see why?
60209Do you think that we could make the cave larger for all of the animals?"
60209He could not see the elephant at all, so he called,"Jumbo, Jumbo, where are you?"
60209How am I going to get these awful quills out, anyway?
60209I think that he must have been dreaming?
60209I think that is a good rule, do n''t you?
60209I wonder, if all the animals would help, if we could n''t break down the rock and get into this room?"
60209I would not, would you?
60209It was called a stationary engine, because it stood in one place, and how do you suppose it moved the men?
60209Jumbo said,"How do you do, Madam Kangaroo and the little baby kangaroo?"
60209Just then the Cub Bear looked up at the owl, to see why the owl did not say"Who- o- o?
60209Just then the old owl said,"Who- o- o- o?
60209Just then the owl said,"Who- o- o- o?
60209Just then the owl saw the animal and said,"Who- o- o?
60209Just then the owl saw the animal, and he said,"Who- o- o?
60209Just then the owl saw the animal, and said,"Who- o- o?
60209Just then the owl saw this animal and said,"Who- o- o?
60209Just then the owl saw this animal, and he said,"Who- o- o- o?
60209Not long after, the monkey came and said,"What is the matter?"
60209One man said to Alex,''Why did n''t you shoot?''
60209Perhaps, who can tell?
60209So he said to his papa,"Papa, can you tell me what the hittopotamus can do to help us in building our house?"
60209THE BEAR FAMILY AT HOME[ Illustration: What do you suppose that ant- bear did?]
60209The Papa Bear asked the Circus Bear what the animal was?
60209The animal came nearer and nearer, and, finally, I gave a great leap; and what do you suppose I landed upon?
60209The animals were all as happy as could be in the beautiful forest, and what do you think the little bears of Jimmie Bear called the little Cub Bear?
60209The giraffe finally pulled his head out of the hole, and the Cub Bear said,"What did you see?"
60209The little Cub Bear said,"Suppose he should catch you in a corner, where you could n''t get away, what would you do?"
60209The little Cub Bear said,"Well, what was he nodding his head about when he came up out of the water?"
60209The little Cub Bear said,"What can you do?"
60209The little Cub Bear said,"What can you do?"
60209The little Cub Bear said,"What did you find?"
60209The little Cub Bear said,"Why ca n''t we have a race?
60209The little Cub Bear soon went to sleep, and what do you think he dreamed about?
60209The little bear was dreaming about something?
60209The monkey got his little arms full-- of what do you suppose?
60209The old owl said,"Who- o- o?
60209The owl called out,"Who- o- o- o?
60209The owl said as soon as he saw any one coming he would say,"Who- o- o?
60209The owl said,"Who- o- o?
60209The train was going so fast that we almost missed the rod, but we hung on, and in a moment when we looked down, what do you suppose had happened?
60209Then he felt of his ear and m- o- a- n- e- d. Can you guess what the little Cub Bear was dreaming about?
60209Then the Papa Bear said,"What do you think that we ought to do?
60209Then the camel said,"Why did n''t you ask me before?
60209Then the little Cub Bear went to bed and went to sleep, and that night he dreamed so hard that-- what do you think happened to him?
60209Then the little Split- Nosed- Bear whirled around like a flash, and what do you suppose happened?
60209Then the monkey said,"How are we going to know how to start, so we can both start together?"
60209Then the rhinoceros said,"What can I do?
60209Then they said to the brave fellows who stayed on the ground,''Why did n''t you shoot?''
60209Then what do you suppose that ant- bear did?
60209They always called him-- what do you suppose?
60209What can I do for you?"
60209What do you suppose happened to the One- Eared- Bear this time?
60209What do you think had happened?
60209When the Papa Bear had finished the story, he said to the Cub Bear,"What do you think of that story?"
60209When the monkey had finished his story, the little Cub Bear said:"Well, what was it that made such a terrible explosion?"
60209When they were coming back, what do you suppose they saw?
60209Which one do you think won the race?
60209Would n''t that be nice?
60209Would you like to shake hands with him?"
60209You know we thought we would kill him, and he would never get as far as the Irishmen?''
60209You know what a saw- mill is?
60209You remember I showed you this morning how I would catch deer?
60209and the little Cub Bear ran to the mouth of the cave; and what do you think he saw?
60209and they all looked up, and what do you think they saw?
60209several times, and each time the solemn old owl would say,"W- h- o?
60209w- h- o- o- o- o?
60209w- h- o- o- o- o?"
60209who- o- o- o?"
60209who- o- o- o?"
60209who- o- o- o?"
60209who- o- o- o?"
60209who- o- o- o?"
60209who- o- o- o?"
60209who- o- o?"
60209who- o- o?"
60209who- o- o?"
60209who- o- o?"
60209who- o- o?"
60209who- o- o?"
60209who- o- o?"
60209who- o- o?"
60209who- o- o?''"
45098And pray with whom,Peter insisted,"and with what results?
45098And the others of his company-- Platonof, Katkoff, Zaitzoff, Shurin-- what of them? 45098 And the rest,"he asked kindly,"are they wounded too?"
45098And why not, my Bear- eater?
45098And why not, my little English fairy?
45098But what of your wounds-- is there anything serious? 45098 Certainly the lord of Russia,"said Boris,"but why the Tsar that''should be''?"
45098De Kuyper,he shouted,"have you a swimmer on board?
45098How are you, Shurin? 45098 How far to the next post- station, Ivan?"
45098I love the woods and the fields, and--"But if Boris were emperor?
45098Is it not so? 45098 Is it true that he is lost-- my Boris-- and perhaps dead?"
45098Is it true?
45098Is what true, my dear?
45098Let me see,Peter continued, after a pause;"was it you or was it another who saved me from an old she- bear at Archangel some years since?"
45098Now, Boris,said the Tsar,"shall it be you or I?
45098Ogilvie,said Peter, after a prolonged stare through the glass,"what do you make of the erection upon the eastern ramparts?
45098Oh, what have you done with him, and why did you let the Tartars have him?
45098Petka?
45098So you want to be eaten up again, do you? 45098 So you would have throttled him, would you?"
45098Then why on the walls?
45098Was it you or old Ivan the driver?
45098Well,he said,"what is it?"
45098Well?
45098What colour were they?
45098What do you mean? 45098 What is the matter?"
45098What!--withdraw? 45098 What''s the penalty for assault?
45098Where are the two men you speak of?
45098Where to, Nancy? 45098 Who was it behaved rather well that afternoon when the pack of wolves attacked us?"
45098Why are there not more of my poor Russians like this one?
45098Wo n''t you take me-- won''t you have me, Boris?
45098You said your name was Petka, did n''t you?
45098You''ll fight for the lord of Russia, wo n''t you, Boris, in case of need?
45098You''ve come for your''tea- money,''I suppose? 45098 Your Majesty knows why not,"said Boris;"when a bough is rotten who would lean upon it?"
45098_ What!_he cried;"go home, and miss the play?
45098Am I to be afraid of my own officers?
45098And do you still wish to quarrel with Boris Ivanitch, now he is here?
45098As a rule people were afraid of him, and showed him deference: what right had this man to browbeat and threaten him?
45098As concerning the present, my Boris, what brought you so miraculously here at the precise moment when you of all men were the most needed?
45098At last he says,"Are you St. Boris come to save me in answer to my call?"
45098Besides, what do you want me for-- to kill bears?"
45098Boris had asked,--a young fellow about his own age?
45098Boris had shouted, as Mazeppa dashed past at the head of his Cossacks,"is this your sworn love and devotion to the Tsar?
45098Boris, my most miraculous of bear- hunters, whence come you, and why is this ragged body of yours not eaten by Turkish rats?
45098But in that case why had the Tsar''s vengeance not been-- as the vengeance of Peter was wo nt to be-- immediate and terrible?
45098But what is it all about?"
45098Charles had escaped into Turkish territory, indeed; but what cared Peter for that?
45098Come now; is he here, or is he not?
45098Come, who is it?
45098Did you observe him push me aside-- glorious!--as though I had been the cabin- boy?
45098Do n''t be afraid, man-- are we not sworn brothers?"
45098Do n''t you see we could strangle you and the whole villageful of peasants if we pleased?
45098Do you feel inclined to enter my service?
45098Do you know whom this letter is from?"
45098Do you_ all_ desire to quarrel with my friend?
45098Does he not know that we are brothers, and more than brothers, and that all that I have is his?"
45098Four, is it not?--Now, what say you, Boris, to taking them two at a time?
45098Got your sword?"
45098Had he discovered the disaffection of the regiment?
45098Had not the Tsar himself started at the very foot of the ladder?
45098Had you not better stay?
45098Have you killed a man?
45098Have you killed so few bears of late that you must needs work off your spare energies at the expense of my poor servants?
45098He was still bound at the wrists as he marched up to the place of execution; but they would not surely hang him in thongs?
45098How could Boris have been so blind?
45098How did you escape those accursed gray brutes?
45098I am the Tsar; but what of that?
45098I shall see fair play-- is it agreed?"
45098I, his second?
45098If so, how?
45098If this should prove to be the case, he reflected, what course ought he to pursue?
45098Is it agreed?
45098Now then, gentlemen, who is to lay on first?
45098Now, then, no wasting words, for I am due down at the harbour-- is it yes or no?"
45098One of them threw a glass of vodka in his face, and asked him if that was the only sort of stuff he had to offer to gentlemen of quality?
45098Petka who?
45098The simple- minded Boris laughed also, and said,"What dog?"
45098Then Peter said that this was all very well, but could he carry in his arms a strongish man who was unwilling to be so carried?
45098Then after a pause,"Can you sleep to- night, Boris?"
45098They''re not afraid surely?
45098Was there any one living there of the name of Petka?
45098We shall see you sticking bears in the Prussian fashion on our next trip.--Now, gentlemen, how many more of you?
45098What are they doing?
45098What are we to do, and how are we to find the child before the she- wolf carries her far away, or changes her mind and devours her?"
45098What are you called, and where shall I seek you?"
45098What if the whole thing should have been a dream?
45098What is the penalty for assault?"
45098What is your name?"
45098What right had he to take serious action upon so feeble a suspicion?
45098What say you to a visit to Lefort and a taste of his French wine, and perhaps a game or two at cards, to- night?
45098What was the penalty for assault?
45098What would the rest of the officers of the Preobrajensk think?
45098What would they gain by shooting me down?
45098What''s his family name?"
45098What''s this?--a letter?
45098What, Ulanof, is that you?
45098Whither, then, should he go?
45098Who was to keep them in check now that the great Boris was gone?
45098Why are you alive-- have you a plan of Azof-- how did you get out of the place-- has that Yakooshka had his sneaking German tongue cut out of him yet?
45098Why had he not anticipated the sudden action of Boris, and sternly forbidden him to sacrifice himself-- ah, why indeed?
45098Why has he sent you?
45098Why not return to Dubinka?
45098Why should not the whole party retire to Karapselka for a while?
45098Why, after all, should his lord consent to so audacious a proposal from a total stranger?
45098Why, he''s a capital fellow is our Boris-- he''s one of us-- we need n''t be afraid of Boris.--Need we, Boris?"
45098Would the sentinel never pass close enough for his purpose?
45098Would you like to be an empress?"
45098Would your Dutchmen swim those waves?
45098asked Peter;"what''s all the disturbance about?
45098do you suppose he told the Tsar about what that fool Platonof said, and all that?"
45098from whom?"
45098he cried,"Mr. Russian, we are old friends surely?
45098he said;"quick, what is it?"
45098it''s you, is it?"
45098or again,"Who is to persuade the Grand Duke that his brother is a mere usurper?"
45098said Boris, to whom the matter presented no difficulty whatever, for did not Peter desire it?
45098said the Tsar, in affected surprise;"what, all of you?
45098simple Boris-- our Bear- hunter?
45098some one asked.--"What were they driving in, and where were they coming from?"
45098the bear you ran away from?
45098then why not he?
45098thought the young Tsar;"and where am I to lay my hand upon such another-- even_ one_?"
27993And how should that affect our route of travel?
27993And quite as large too?
27993Are there no bears in Africa?
27993Are we to travel alone, papa?
27993Asia next, I suppose?
27993Bigger_ then_?
27993But for what purpose have you designed this hole?
27993But he has not indicated any route-- has he? 27993 But how about the white bear of the Alps?"
27993But how came you by that?
27993But surely,said Alexis,"you do n''t mean to assert that a bear could pass through such a hole as that?
27993But there is another Bruang?
27993But you say we are not going to Africa?
27993Do n''t you know,said the Finn,"that Black Nalle is always bigger and fiercer than his brown brother?
27993How?
27993If I permit you to travel,continued the baron,"where would you like to go?
27993Indeed? 27993 Not so fast, if you please?"
27993Perhaps to Africa?
27993Say Lapland: I should like to see the little Laps, but where next? 27993 That is all, is it not?"
27993The bear does not tread upon his toes in walking, but lays the whole sole of his foot along the ground-- does he not?
27993Then, surely North America is our next stage?
27993There are some other plantigrade animals besides bears?
27993This black bear is to be found in our own northern forests, is it not?
27993Wal, not jest now, I fancy; I thought you might like to hang on a while?
27993Well, and what of a black one more than any other?
27993Well, brother, what do_ you_ think? 27993 Well, brother, what if we should?"
27993What animals have been included in this family_ ursidae_?
27993What does papa think about it?
27993What is he?
27993What is it? 27993 What is it?"
27993What is it?
27993What is that, brother?
27993What then?
27993Where does the general wish me to go?
27993Where next, brother?
27993Which way do you wish us to go?
27993Who is it to be?
27993Why, he could n''t get out of himself?
27993Why?
27993You mean the bears with a white ring round their necks? 27993 You mean the_ ursus albus_ of Lesson?"
27993You propose, then, to go next to Spain, and kill the Spanish bear?
27993You, Ivan?
27993And how does North America possess more species than any other part of the world?
27993And now,"added he,"what''s to be done?
27993And what are they about below-- those men, women, and children-- a crowd composed of all ages and all sexes?
27993Are the bears of South America?--the sloth bear of India and Ceylon?-- the bruang of Borneo?--and his near congener, the bruang of Java and Sumatra?
27993Are the people themselves left unmolested?
27993BRUIN AT HOME?
27993Besides, where were the tracks of the bear?
27993But is this all?
27993But what is this trade?
27993But whither could they fly?
27993But whither do you desire us to go?"
27993Certainly he was in his den?
27993Could he be under the bear, concealed by the shaggy hair?
27993Could it be horse- flies?
27993Could it have got into the water?
27993Could these have reference to a question of natural history?
27993Did you not say, that a year of travelling was worth ten at a University?"
27993Has he received no specific name from the naturalists?
27993He might be there?"
27993He might see them while approaching, and trot off again before a shot could be fired?
27993He would n''t have taken shelter there, would he?"
27993He''s not a tobacco chewer, is he?"
27993His name?
27993How could they?
27993How did the boy get there?
27993How far do you suppose our travels need to have extended?"
27993How far?"
27993How then can we account for his keeping alive?
27993How was he to be got out?
27993How were they to reach him with their bullets?
27993I shall trust all to you: so take me where you please-- which way, then?"
27993I suppose we shall cross the Atlantic, and then by the isthmus of Panama to the Pacific; or shall we go as Magellan went, around Cape Horn?"
27993I thought you were not going to send us to the University for some time to come?
27993I wonder now what sort is this fellow we are following?
27993If this were done, would Bruin be then likely to come forth?
27993Is the polar bear found only in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere?
27993Is the_ ursus arctos_ of Europe confined to these limits?
27993It certainly proved there was some living creature inside; but how could the Quan tell it was a bear?
27993It has come off his great paws-- not a doubt of it, brother?"
27993It was evident that this extemporised ladder had been constructed for the purpose of climbing the tree, but with what object?
27993Must they retire, and wait patiently till the calls of hunger should urge him forth?
27993Now you comprehend my meaning?"
27993Of course he would n''t be out yonder among those logs?
27993Paris, it is true, was a little out of their way; but what Russian could travel across Europe without paying a visit to Paris?
27993Perhaps bees?
27993Perhaps by making a noise he might issue forth?
27993Perhaps it is that the projections may not press against his body, and thus render his couch uncomfortable?
27993Perhaps some one of my young readers may become the author of that monograph?
27993Perhaps the proximity of the sea has more to do with this phenomenon than the trifling difference of latitude?
27993Prehaps you''d let one o''your leetle boys drive that ere ox over to my house?"
27993Since, then, he was there to be found, why go to Sumatra in search of him?
27993Ten francs was nothing?
27993The hunters did not stay to inquire the reason why Bruin should be thus bathing himself?
27993The mud bank ends here, and he''s gone off it, the way he came?
27993The question was, how he was to be got out?
27993There might be a nest of wild bees somewhere near-- why not in the cedar itself-- and if so, the horses might be attacked by them?
27993They might do the same now?
27993To North America, I suppose?"
27993To North America, then no doubt?"
27993To reach the Alps, where it is said to be found, we should have to recross a meridian of longitude?"
27993Was it possible, however to do so?
27993What are the boys doing up there?
27993What are they doing?
27993What could they do to get at him?
27993What is all this contrivance for-- these nets and tall masts, with"crows''nests"at their tops?
27993What sort of pigeons?
27993What then?
27993What was to be done?
27993What was to be done?
27993What, then, were they to do?
27993Where next?"
27993Where was he?
27993Where?"
27993Why might it not be his cave?"
27993Why, then, should there not be a species in Africa-- perhaps more than one-- though civilised people are yet unacquainted with it?"
27993You propose, then, steering first to South America, and afterwards to the northern division of the American continent?"
27993You wish to see the world, do you?"
27993You would expect to travel in snug railway- carriages, and comfortable steam- ships, and sleep in splendid hotels-- is that your expectation?"
27993Your hair was once black, was n''t it, old Pouchy?"
27993and where do they come from?
27993answered Ivan;"you mean that when Linnaeus published his` System of Nature,''only our own brown bear of Europe was known to naturalists?"
27993asked the ex- guardsman,"do n''t you intend to unearth the brute?"
27993continued Ivan;"it certainly does seem a little eccentric?"
27993he shouted;"ai n''t ye goin''to kill the bar?"
27993inquired Ivan;"I think you spoke of an attendant?"
27993is it a distinct species, or a permanent variety?"
27993said Ivan, interrogatively;"our badger and glutton, for instance?"
27993said Ivan, speaking cautiously, notwithstanding his innocent adjuration;"that must be his tracks?
27993said Ivan;"you do n''t mean to say that he makes food of the heads of the poor negroes?"
27993said the baron, directing his glance upon them,"you have a desire to to travel?
27993to what part of the world would your inclination lead you?"
27993visit all the great cities of the world?"
27993was he dead, and had his body been carried off by the current that rushed rapidly under the snow?
27993what is it?"
27993what was to be done?
27993where go we next?
27993where has the brute gone?"
27993you think so?
46813And from whom?
46813And the_ ikon_?
46813And what of the wolves, your charitableness, and the cow that is eaten up together with her bones and skin?
46813Are you sure it was not a_ bielaya kooropatka_( willow grouse)?
46813Blind man, canst thou see us? 46813 But how can that be?"
46813But who_ are_ you? 46813 But, sirs,"I began,"what am I to do with myself, if I may not----""Take life?"
46813Deaf man, canst thou hear us? 46813 Do you understand the duties of a pastuch?"
46813Have you not made a mistake in the time?
46813How long, your worship?
46813I am dying, my children,she said--"are you all safe?"
46813Is anything the matter, brother?
46813It can not, surely, be time to get up yet?
46813Lame man, canst thou overtake us? 46813 My dears,"says she,"did you notice an island about here?
46813Self- abnegation?
46813Starost, brother,said the stranger, going straight to business,"why do you send your pastuch with milk to sell in our district?
46813Take care of ourselves, mother?
46813Then how are we going to get at them in the open?
46813Was your_ vyedma_, then, in the likeness of a pastuch?
46813Well, little mother,said one,"what are you asking for curses this afternoon?
46813Well, where''s the dog?
46813What do you know-- what can you do?
46813What do you mean?
46813What do you want?
46813What dog?
46813What is it, Ivan? 46813 What was this pastuch like?"
46813Where are Katia and Mishka?
46813Where did you buy him, brother?
46813Who knows?
46813Why do you hate them?
46813Worse than what?
46813A big crawfish?
46813Already I can catch a pale, sickly gleam of light, where the Waters look up to the grey sky and cry,"How long, Sun, how long the gloom and the cold?"
46813And a great fear fell upon the man, so that he could scarcely frame words to ask:"Who are you that address me?"
46813And the ducks?
46813Are they freer than I am?
46813Besides, I could not detect the sound of eating: what then could he be about?
46813Besides, the pastuch had declared he would not go out again, and who was to take his place?
46813But Vainka touched my shoulder:"The one with the gun,"he whispered,"is my master: what''s to be done?"
46813But how were we going to get within range of ducks in a puffing and smoking steam- launch?
46813But if the darkness is mysterious and wonderful, and full of subtle, hidden potentialities, what shall we say of the marvellous silence?
46813But if the train from St. Petersburg to Wiborg is slow, what shall be said of that from the latter place to Imatra?
46813But where are the geese?
46813But, shall I be believed?
46813Could I even spread bony arms before his eyes and play the common vulgar ghost upon him, to punish him withal?
46813Could the bull be the spirit of the departed Vasilice?
46813Could the human be asleep?
46813Did I mention that Vainka consumed his share of the two sheep which found their way to our larder?
46813Did I mention that we had taken a few strawberries at 10.30 P.M.?
46813Did not the Church teach that Elijah the prophet went up in a chariot to heaven?
46813Did we submit to be shuttlecocked over your ghastly parody of a road in order to be humbugged by you at the end of it?
46813Do they get more to eat and drink, and pay less for their victuals?
46813Do they then so hate the trouble of travelling?
46813Do you think the wolf- hunters of the_ lià © shuie_ do not know which is the pick of the herd?
46813Give me another hour of it, Ivan?
46813Had the Count so arranged matters in order to keep intruders from his sacred precincts?
46813Had the evil eye fallen upon a moujik or woman of the place?
46813Had the humans organised a chase after me?
46813Has the reader ever seen a Russian country road?
46813Have you no market of your own that you must needs spoil ours by overstocking it, and sending prices down for us?"
46813How dare I float with impunity out here, at night, above these millions of scaly beings, intent on their destruction and fearing nothing for myself?
46813How do I know that a company of elves are not disporting themselves within a yard or two of my tent-- as ignorant of my proximity as I am of theirs?
46813How should we set about to find one little herdsman?"
46813I exclaimed:"where in fortune''s name do_ you_ come from, and how did you escape?"
46813I wonder whether our canonised countryman who gave his name to it was ever here?
46813I wonder whether they use a different leg on alternate nights, or whether the same one is told off for night duty each time?
46813If not spectres, then where are they?
46813Is that the claw of a crawfish sticking on to it, or not?
46813Listen to the sentinel crane-- or is it the boots or the chambermaid of the community awakening the family?
46813Meanwhile, what was the child to him, body or soul, in comparison with his beloved Doonya?
46813Mother started up and rubbed her eyes:"What is it, you tiresome children?"
46813No one would send their cows out under the circumstances-- how could they?
46813No?
46813Now were these birds little white ghosts, or real flesh and blood and feathers?
46813Now what in the name of all that is wonderful did the creature mean by choosing such a place to pass the night in?
46813Pay me ten roubles from the funds and the ceremony shall be performed, and the plague, perhaps, shall be stayed-- who knows?"
46813Review my past?
46813See what a transformation scene the act of man works, in an instant, upon a lovely landscape?
46813Sleep?
46813Surely they are very close indeed?
46813Then this idea suddenly struck me: Why not climb a tree?
46813There was no sign of the humans; poor dead Katia had been taken away and little prisoner Mishka also; but where was mother?
46813They pursue one another, and quack and court, and bathe, and are perfectly and entirely happy and content, as who would not be in their place?
46813Was I expected to seat myself in the dish and pour the contents of the tumbler over me?
46813Was all this not enough to satisfy him?
46813Was this learned man a joker?
46813We had spent twelve hours upon this pleasant moor indeed; but who would be content with twelve?
46813Well, half an hour?
46813Were they Christian ceremonies that the_ rodityelui_ employed?"
46813Were they tame ducks?
46813What about the water- spirits-- the_ Vodyannui_ of Sclavonic folklore?
46813What are those tall posts yonder, outlining themselves against the paling sky?
46813What are you referring to?
46813What better or worthier thing could a human baby do than provide a dinner for one of the Ursidà ¦?
46813What bird ever matched the graceful poise of their heads?
46813What could I do?
46813What could it all mean?
46813What do I see?
46813What had become of the thousands of sportive giants of half- an- hour ago?
46813What has all this"civilisation,"so called, done for them?
46813What if the spirit- gun will not go off?
46813What is it?
46813What is this?
46813What matter if we catch anything or nothing?
46813What need of further evidence?
46813What shall I do to pass away the next hour or two?
46813What should we have caught had we been able to continue our fishing on that marvellous night?
46813What though Jemmie bounded into air-- bird- like-- and nested upon the top of my head, or I on his?
46813What though our shins were black and blue with the misplaced attentions of cartridge cases and gun stocks?
46813What though the dogs whined and grew absurdly angry with one another, showing signs of an imminent general engagement?
46813What youngster ever did?
46813What?
46813Where are the bull Vasilice and the cows Masha and Katia?"
46813Where are these coveys?
46813Where are those coveys, Hermann?
46813Where is it?
46813Where is the money you received for Vasilice and the two cows?"
46813Where was ever so soft a brown as this of theirs, or so pure a white?
46813Where were the fish?
46813Who can say what is the etiquette of the wild goose?
46813Who can tell?
46813Who makes that sound?
46813Why did they not stop here?
46813Why had the brute thus chosen out the_ znaharka_ for special and deliberate insult?
46813Why not make one bold stroke for reputation and fortune, and succeed or perish in the attempt?
46813Why was the invitation to breakfast not accepted?
46813Wolves are notoriously incapable of climbing( after all, what_ can_ a wolf do?).
46813Yet why, after all, should anything be said?
46813and are you baptized?
46813and what do you do down there in the cool waters?"
46813are they not going to alight and join the happy breakfast- party below there?
46813but who could ever give back to these feathered ruins the thing we have bereft them of?
46813but, do they talk ours?
46813cried Ivan Ivanich, starting to his feet;"not one of_ my_ cows, Radion Vasilitch?"
46813he said, laughing loudly and delightedly;"ca n''t you see it?"
46813it is not_ our_ notion of freedom!--do all these things render them the happier?
46813no guns and no rod?"
46813or,''Do you hear how the breeze sighs this evening among the reeds in the stream?''
46813shouted Radion,"are n''t you going to do what is necessary for the safety of the herd before I take them into the woods?"
46813why do you not fly when your mamma gives the lead?
46813you are not going to leave us?"
21734Ah thin, avic, plaze do attind to me at wance; for sure I''ve run four miles to git stuff for a dyin''family-- won''t ye now?
21734Ai n''t it vexin''?
21734Ai n''t you afraid some of the bad- looking scoundrels in these parts may take a fancy to your pick and shovel?
21734Ai n''t you goin''with us?
21734All what, sir?
21734Among the mountains, is it? 21734 An'', may I ax, commodore,"said Larry O''Neil, touching his hat,"wot_ I''m_ to do?"
21734An''I say, stranger,continued the Yankee, while Ned put the finishing touches to his work,"will ye do the inside o''my hut for the same money?"
21734An''who are_ you_ that finds fault wi''the diggers?
21734And are these murders passed over without any attempt to bring the murderers to justice?
21734And did the sharper hear of it?
21734And did you say you were all ready for a start to- morrow, captain?
21734And how would you manage with huge manufactories?
21734And now,said Ned,"may I ask permission to pass the night with you?"
21734And pray, sir,he continued,"may I ask what are office- hours?"
21734And suppose I did n''t care a straw for being called a coward, and would n''t attempt to clear my character?
21734And suppose,answered Ned, with a smile--"suppose that I refused to fight, what then?"
21734And which of the three callings do you propose adopting?
21734And why not, nephew? 21734 And, pray thee, what may that be, most sapient philosopher?"
21734Are grizzly- bears eaten here?
21734Are the victuals gone too?
21734Are we far- distant from the other miners in this creek?
21734Are ye ready to go, Mister McLeod?
21734Are ye sure o''the spot?
21734Are ye sure?
21734Are you badly hurt, my poor fellow?
21734Are you in earnest?
21734Are, then, all the Indian tribes at enmity with the white men?
21734Arrah, now,remarked another Patlander,"do n''t ye wish ye wos up to the knees and elbows in the goolden sands already?
21734At what hour?
21734Av it would n''t displase yer lordship, may I take the presumption to ax how the seal come to be broken?
21734Ay,_ how_ long?
21734Bear- catching?
21734Big''un?
21734Bin long in?
21734Bin there before?
21734But how am I to escape from Mr Jolly?
21734But how do you manage it?
21734But what_ is_ the affair?
21734But where have they gone to?
21734But why not give it now?
21734But,said Ned,"I shall have to get a steward-- is that what you call him?
21734By the way,remarked Ned, as they walked along,"what of Captain Bunting''s old ship?"
21734Can I see Mr Moxton?
21734Can nothing be done, then?
21734Can we?
21734Can you speak English?
21734Capital,cried Ned, laughing heartily;"and you did n''t try for a letter after all?"
21734D''ye mane to tell me,he said, slowly and with emphasis,"that I''m maybe sittin''at this minute on the top o''rale goold?"
21734D''you think so? 21734 DB?"
21734Do I know meself?
21734Do n''t ye see that ye''ve a''most made him faint? 21734 Do n''t you think, messmates,"said Captain Bunting, lighting his pipe,"that if it gets wind the whole colony will be laughin''at us?"
21734Do these storms usually last long?
21734Do you mean that you seven men catch fall- grown grizzly- bears alive and take them down to the settlements?
21734Do you see yonder bird clinging to the stem of that tree, and pitching into it as if it were its most deadly foe?
21734Do you think, then, that you would make a good digger?
21734Do you?
21734Does he expect more to- morrow, think ye?
21734Does he like to have the Bible read to him?
21734Does not this wild spot remind you of the nursery tales we used to read?
21734Drop, you mean,suggested Tom, laughing at the man''s expression;"of course I have, and why not?
21734Excuse me, sir,he said, hesitatingly,"may I ask what room I shall occupy, if-- if-- I come to work here?"
21734Goin''to the diggin''s, I s''pose?
21734Hallo, Ned, what''s keeping you?
21734Halloo, Ned, what''s that I hear about prices? 21734 Have ye spoken to the other men, Elliot?"
21734Have you got your colours with you?
21734How did it happen?
21734How in the world did you get him in there?
21734How moche?
21734How much did you propose?
21734How often am I to tell you that I do n''t and_ wo n''t_ consider the making of money the chief good of this world? 21734 How so, boy?"
21734How so?
21734How was dat?
21734How was that?
21734How-- how much have I swallowed?
21734How?
21734I am not surprised to hear it,said Captain Bunting;"but pray what''s i''the wind?
21734I have not kept you waiting, have I?
21734I s''pose ye''ll not object to let me rest by yer fire, strangers?
21734I say, Bill,he added, pointing to a little tin bowl which stood on an inverted cask outside the door of the ranche,"wot can that be for?"
21734I say, stranger,inquired the Yankee,"d''ye git many bits like that in this location?"
21734I suppose you intend to send this to some fair one in old Ireland?
21734I''ll do that for you, all in good time; meanwhile, will you put on your hat, and run down to Moxton''s office-- you remember it?
21734Indeed,replied Tom, laughing;"how, then, would you have men to live?"
21734Is all right?
21734Is he your husband?
21734Is it a very ghostly one?
21734Is it?
21734Is not` nor''east and by east''our direct course for the harbour of San Francisco?
21734Is that all?
21734Is the trap far off?
21734Is your claim better than the others in the neighbourhood?
21734It''s a wild place, if all reports are true?
21734It''s awkward,said the captain, with a troubled expression, as he slowly raised a square lump of pork to his mouth;"what would you advise me to do?"
21734It''s only me, Ned; can I come in? 21734 Maybe ye can do Irish?"
21734Mister McLeod,said he, when Ned concluded,"will ye shew me the body o''this man?
21734Most true, my sagacious friend,said Tom;"but, pray, how do you prove the fact that things_ are_ wrong?"
21734Mr Collins?
21734My dear uncle,said he,"how can_ I_ manage such a place, without means or knowledge?"
21734Near the Horn, I should think, by this time; but why so anxious?
21734No, you do n''t, do you? 21734 Nor none o''your party, I expect?"
21734Nother do I,said another,"It''s all a sham; come, now, ai n''t it, Bill?"
21734Now, ai n''t that aggravatin''?
21734Now, dear,said Larry,"we have n''t time to waste, will ye go with me to San Francisco?"
21734Now, then, where''ll I steer to?
21734Now, thin, who''s nixt?
21734Now, who is to decide the question if I do n''t give in, Tom? 21734 Of course, you could n''t be expected to have done much in so short a time; but_ how_ much?"
21734One second more and I shall commence,replied Ned;"I beg pardon, may I ask your name?"
21734Or French?
21734Perhaps you will inform me where_ you_ have come from, and what is your errand in these lonesome places at this hour of the night?
21734Perhaps you''ll try the northern diggin''s?
21734Porter there?
21734Pray, sir,began Ned, modestly,"may I take the liberty of asking you what is the meaning of all this?"
21734Sartinly I do,replied the bear- catcher;"an''why not, stranger?"
21734Shall I read to ye, darlin''?
21734Shootin'', is it? 21734 So soon?"
21734Sure do n''t I know me own feelin''s best?
21734Surely the farm connected with such a house must be a large one?
21734Then why did n''t you?
21734Then, do you mean to say that Thompson is gone?
21734There you go again, Tom; you ask me the abstract question,` What do you mean by enjoying life?'' 21734 There''s more than wan,"cried another man, seizing Pat again by the arm;"wo n''t ye come, man?"
21734They''re diggin''goold out o''the cabin floors, are they?
21734Troth, ye''ve got a dash o''the Yankee brogue,said Larry, with a puzzled look;"did ye not come from the owld country?"
21734W''en a thing comes all right, an''tight, an''ship- shape, why, wot then? 21734 Wall, now, stranger, if you choose to be resarved, and we choose to be free- an''-easy, where''s the differ?
21734Wall?
21734Was he well when he left?
21734Well, I do n''t know about that; I suppose you''re right,replied Lizette;"but is n''t it nice?
21734Well, but could n''t you_ converse_ without arguing?
21734Well, now, let me ask you, Ned, how much gold have you brought back from the diggings?
21734Well, what have you got, comrades?
21734What do you do with them when caught?
21734What have we here?
21734What have you to say to me?
21734What is it ye give him?
21734What is it?
21734What like was he?
21734What say ye to that, mister?
21734What shall we do now?
21734What shall we do now?
21734What way is that?
21734What''s his name?
21734What''s that?
21734What''s the price?
21734What, comrades,cried Black Jim, with an oath, and looking fiercely round,"will ye see a messmate treated like this?
21734What, then, do you mean to do?
21734What,said he,"sell the_ Roving Bess_, which stands_ A1_ at Lloyd''s, to be broken up to build gold- diggers houses?
21734What_ can_ he mean?
21734What_ does_ it all mean?
21734What_ is_ to be done?
21734When shall we start?
21734Where away?
21734Where did_ you_ come from, old boy?
21734Where has Larry O''Neil gone?
21734Where have you come from, and how comes it that your clothes are torn, and your faces covered with blood?
21734Where then?
21734Where''s the gold?
21734Who be this Missey Nelina?
21734Who can DB have been?
21734Who can make a torch?
21734Who comes here?
21734Who do you think was the murderer?
21734Who goes there?
21734Who said we were` afraid,''young man?
21734Who''s there?
21734Who?
21734Whose is the best horse?
21734Why did n''t ye ax?
21734Why not, stranger?
21734Why not?
21734Why so, stranger?
21734Why, boy,said Captain Bunting, laying down his knife, and looking at Ned in amazement,"what''s put that in your head, eh?"
21734Why, how did you guess that?
21734Why, then, I''d be compelled to snuff you out slick off?
21734Why, what have you been about?
21734Why, what_ do_ you mean,said he,"who is this extraordinary proprietor?"
21734Why, where are ye goin''?
21734Will that suffice to stock and carry on so large a farm,inquired Ned?
21734Wot wos his name?
21734Yer a cliver fellow,said Larry, as he came up, panting;"sure ye did it be chance?"
21734You don''say dat?
21734You would n''t have me spit in my hat, would you?
21734You''d make a pretty good thing of it if you did,retorted Mr Thompson;"would they not, Lizette?
21734You''ll be goin''up to the bar at the American Forks now, I calc''late?
21734You''re not good at a bargain, I fear,remarked Sinton;"but what of the little girl?"
21734You''ve been in California, since I last saw you, I understand?
21734You''ve come from San Francisco, stranger?
21734` Four''s bid,''says I, mountin''on a keg o''baccy, and howldin up the knife;` who says more? 21734 ` Now,''says I,` wot for are ye scraggin''this old man?''
21734` Och,''says he,` who''ll sell me a place?'' 21734 ` Why not?''
21734` Why, what do you mean, my lad?'' 21734 ` Wot''s to do?''
21734''Cause why?
21734An''whot am I to do with it?
21734And if not, is it digestible?
21734Any new diggin''s discovered?"
21734As he did not seem inclined to be communicative, however, Ned said again,"What is the meaning of it all?
21734Besides, are we agoin''to let sich a trifle stand in the way o''us an''our fortins?"
21734Besides, has n''t she got an Irish heart?
21734But are you_ sure_ you know her?"
21734But first tell me, how is my young friend, Ned?"
21734But how has it come about?
21734But what''s wrong; you look pale, and, eh?
21734Captain Bunting, how are ye?
21734Come on, and fire together; but aim_ low_, d''ye hear?"
21734Did n''t we lay him hereabouts?"
21734Do n''t I know the mizzen- mast as well as I know me right leg?"
21734Do you feel better to- night?"
21734Do you think we shall manage to reach the diggings to- morrow, Maxton?"
21734Happy, thrice happy, the few who in that hour could truly say to Jesus,"Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
21734Have ye got raisins an''sago?"
21734Have you any more knives like that one?"
21734Have you been successful since I left?"
21734Have you been used to sit at the desk?"
21734Have you ever been in an office before?"
21734Have you no one to look after you?"
21734Have you studied law?"
21734Here Ned whispered a few words to the captain, who nodded his head, and, turning to the Yankee, said--"How much will you give?"
21734Here comes the mate again-- well, Mr Williams?"
21734Horoo, Mister Sinton, darlint, is it yerself?
21734How are ye gittin''on in the goold way, honey?"
21734How are ye, kinsman?
21734How comed ye to larn me name?
21734How did ye break it?"
21734How far is it to the next ranche, landlord?"
21734How''s her head, Larry?"
21734I accept your answer to the general question; but how many people, think you, can afford to put your theory in practice?"
21734I dun know yet very well how I got ashore, but I did somehow--""And did the cart go for it?"
21734I gave up everything for it; I spent all my time in search of it-- and I got it-- and what good can it do me_ now_?
21734I guess you''ve bin raised to that sort o''thing?"
21734I hope you''re not offering to speculate in half- finished holes, or anything of that sort, eh?"
21734I presume that you and your friends have just arrived at the mines?"
21734I say, stranger, ai n''t you a Britisher?"
21734I suppose your friend has told you how the land lies?"
21734I''m not a stranger; do n''t I know all your history from first to last?"
21734If ye ca n''t make things better, wot then?
21734If ye ca n''t, why wot then?
21734If_ he_ lose the boat, do n''t_ we_ lose the tin?
21734In a few minutes he resumed,--"Well, but what do you mean by enjoying life?"
21734Is n''t that a lan''scape?"
21734Is the shooting good?"
21734It began thus:--"My Dearest Boy,--What has become of you?
21734Look alive, will you?
21734Look here, Larry, can you guess what it was?"
21734Look here, Tom, can you decipher this?
21734Maybe there is; who knows?''
21734McLeod, where are you?"
21734Mr Scotchman, I misremimber yer name, wot''s that?"
21734Neither is my friend Sinton, eh?"
21734Now, Mr Jefferson, in what position do you intend to sit?"
21734Now, who will go with me?"
21734Now, why did he do it?
21734On the knocker being applied, the green door was opened by a disagreeable- looking old woman, who answered to the question,"Is Mr Moxton in?"
21734See here, I have had my will drawn up long ago, with the place for the name left blank I had intended-- but no matter-- what is your name?"
21734Shall I tell it you?"
21734Shall we remain?
21734Shure I do n''t mind the blow; it''s done me no harm-- won''t ye, now?"
21734Smitten with the yellow fever, Neddy?
21734So says I,` Wot''ll ye give?''
21734Stay, what was the name of the man who used to visit you?"
21734Suppose we meet at the Parker House, and talk over our future plans while we discuss a chop?"
21734Surely some peculiarity in the atmosphere gives that tree false proportions?"
21734Tell me now, how long did it take afore it growed that long?"
21734The Yankee uttered an exclamation of surprise, and asked,"Why not, stranger?"
21734The result was, as formerly, a disagreeable- looking old woman, who replied to the question,"Is Mr Moxton in?"
21734The rider drew up suddenly, and, leaping off his horse, cried,"Can I have a draught of water, my good woman?"
21734The sick man saw him instantly, and, raising himself slightly, exclaimed,"Who goes there?
21734The square lump of pork disappeared, as the captain thrust it into his cheek in order to say,"What?"
21734These articles having been delivered and paid for, Larry continued--"Ye''ll have brandy, av coorse?"
21734Tom looked up with a flushed countenance and a glittering eye, as he exclaimed--"Who?
21734Tom replied by reining up his steed, pointing to an object in front, and inquiring,"What think you of_ that_?"
21734Tom, are you wounded?"
21734Up goes my rifle like wink, and the red- skin would ha''gone onder in another second, but my piece snapped-- cause why?
21734Very odd, is n''t it?"
21734What can it be that old Thompson''s so anxious about?
21734What can it mean?"
21734What did ye say was your charge for it?"
21734What do you mean by it?
21734What do you mean?"
21734What do you mean?"
21734What have you heard or seen?"
21734What say you to the fact, that I am as much a beggar as yourself?"
21734What say you?"
21734What shall I have to pay him?
21734What think you?
21734What you want?"
21734What''s the matter with ye?
21734What_ does_ it all mean?"
21734What_ has_ done it, uncle?
21734What_ is_ to be done?"
21734Where d''ye stop?"
21734Where have you been, and where are you going next?"
21734Wherever did ye come from?
21734Why are_ you_ here, and what has brought me here?"
21734Will that suit you?"
21734Will ye try a drop?"
21734Wo n''t you step in and take a cocktail or a gin- sling?
21734Work, work you say, an''pay we?"
21734Wos ye goin''there?"
21734Wot''s the differ to us?"
21734You have n''t made your fortune, I fancy?"
21734You tell me you have 500 pounds?"
21734` Wot''s that for?''
21734ai n''t he a bit o''thunder?"
21734an''do n''t I know the way to touch it?
21734and_ who''s_ this-- a wet little girl?"
21734are ye not shot, capting?"
21734but it''s chape postage,"said Larry, lifting the curtain, and stepping out;"could n''t ye say thirty, now?"
21734can you explain what has done it?"
21734captain, where are you?"
21734coughed Ned gravely,"and if we should set up in the_ other_ line, will you kindly come and board with us?"
21734countryman, where''s the sick Irishman and his sister gone, that lived close to ye here?"
21734cried Larry,"free, gratis, for nothin''?"
21734cried Larry;"an''is there no law for sich doin''s?"
21734cried McLeod, who, with Larry, had seized and cocked his rifle,"is that you, Webster?"
21734cried Ned Sinton, laughing in gleeful surprise;"it''s my old boat, is n''t it?
21734do you call this home?"
21734exclaimed Larry,"why did n''t ye tell us the price before we tuck them?"
21734exclaimed Moxton,"you''re young Sinton, I suppose?"
21734exclaimed Ned Sinton, rushing up to his relative,"what_ can_ be the meaning of all this?
21734faix, I''m of opinion I can prove the murder; but, first of all, how is the black villain to be diskivered?"
21734gasped Tom, while the questions flashed across his mind-- Is gold- dust poison?
21734got cleaned out with the trip up, an''trust to diggin''for the future?
21734have ye room for a large party in there?"
21734he shouted, on entering,"are you there?"
21734how much d''ye say?"
21734leave the gold- fields just as the sun is beginning to shine on you?"
21734morther, wot nixt?"
21734now, ye wo n''t tell?"
21734or Indians?"
21734said I,` what do you mean?
21734said Ned, as they entered the somewhat gloomy defile,"which used to begin,` Once upon a time--''""Hist, Ned, is that a grizzly?"
21734said Ned;"but how, in such a matter, can_ we_ help you with advice?"
21734said Sam Scott, in a slightly sarcastic tone,"an''suppose I do n''t stop firin''over your shoulder, what then?"
21734surely you do n''t mind a wetting?"
21734thin, spake, wo n''t ye, darlin''?
21734very good; which is he?"
21734what have we here?"
21734what''s that?"
21734where are you?"
21734why what''s this?
21734wot do you dress your pig- tail with?"
21734wot do_ you_ want?"
21734you do n''t mean to say you''re-- laughing?"
21734you villain, have I got you?"
21734yourself again?"
