38532A change? 38532 A past?"
38532About what?
38532Ah, ah,said the big City alderman;"you received my note, in which I announced my visit?"
38532Ah, and who told you all these details?
38532Ah, my dear de Lussac-- no news yet?
38532Ah, why do you choose that one?
38532Always that picture,said Dora to Lorimer;"my head is dazed; why do we not go to supper and put an end to this?
38532Am I?
38532And after six years of marriage you are still in the region of romance? 38532 And our English women, General?"
38532And shall I tell you what I think? 38532 And so you have nothing?"
38532And suppose I insist,said Philip, who was the first to break the silence,"and, what is more, suppose I expect you to do what I wish?"
38532And those?
38532And was the piece produced?
38532And what will you call it?
38532And when she is ugly?
38532And when you are old, who will occupy the other side of the chimney corner? 38532 And,"said Lorimer,"how can a man love or respect a woman who buys him, and degrades him in his own eyes?"
38532Another cup?
38532Are you coming?
38532Are you joking with me? 38532 Are you not rich enough yet?
38532Are you off?
38532Are you pleased with it?
38532Are you speaking seriously?
38532But do I not share all your honours? 38532 But what do you mean, my dear Hobbs?"
38532But what shall I mix?
38532But whose fault is it?
38532But, my dear doctor, the room is too dark; I can not see; is it evening already?
38532But,said Gabrielle,"why is Philip not here?"
38532Come, come,said Dora tenderly,"tell me, have you any troubles, any little worry?"
38532Daddy, daddy, what is the matter?
38532Did she scold you?
38532Did you ring, ma''am?
38532Did you see any more of him after that?
38532Do I look as if I were joking? 38532 Do n''t you think ours is a very romantic life?"
38532Do tell me,Dora said to Lorimer,"who is that woman who puzzles me so?
38532Do you hear, darling? 38532 Do you know half?"
38532Do you think the Commission will soon arrive at a decision?
38532Do you think you have what I want? 38532 Do you wish to see the house, ma''am?"
38532Does he invite that man to his house to dine, and then miss a train, so that they may be thrown together_ en tête- à- tête_ for a whole evening? 38532 Does n''t she look bored, poor woman?"
38532Does wrong become right by multiplication?
38532Dora, for God''s sake, tell me, what does it mean? 38532 Dora, what are you saying?
38532Dora, what has happened? 38532 Dora,"said he,"why keep up this farce any longer?
38532Eva?
38532For Miss Eva? 38532 For me?
38532Framed or unframed?
38532Has he forgotten his promise? 38532 Has your Excellency been long in London?"
38532His shell fell on us like a bomb, eh? 38532 Hobbs, you do n''t happen to know who the people are that are living in our old house, I suppose?"
38532How can a woman love or respect a man who allows himself to be purchased for a title of nobility?
38532How can a woman of her age go about so outrageously uncovered? 38532 How can you say such things?
38532How dare I?
38532How do you find him to- day?
38532How long is this ass going to stay here boring us, I wonder?
38532How shall I ever be able to excuse myself to him? 38532 I allow two; have you a light?"
38532I am so proud you approve of the shell-- then you will have it taken up by the Russian Government? 38532 I should think I did, sir; I clean the rooms, I do the cooking"..."And what about your wages?"
38532If Mr. Lorimer does not come to see you, why do n''t you write and ask him to come? 38532 In the lump?
38532Is he a painter?
38532Is it really you who dare speak to me in that way?
38532Is it true that mama was a little girl first?
38532Is n''t it funny though?--Where is daddy?
38532Is that man gone?
38532Is there a woman with a past in it?
38532Let him be what he likes; what on earth does it matter to me?
38532Let me go; you hurt me,cried Dora, distracted with indignation;"how dare you treat me so?"
38532Look here, Hobbs,said the doctor,"how does Mrs. Grantham manage to get a living here?
38532Mama, are n''t you coming out for a walk with us?
38532Mama, mama, are we not going to be happy any more?
38532Mama, what is the matter?
38532Must I go through with this?
38532My dear Mrs. Grantham-- Mr. Lorimer, how do you do?
38532No milk, I think-- a little rum and some lemon,_ à la Russe_?
38532No, it is true I have not, but what is there that I can say to him? 38532 No,"she said;"what is it?"
38532Now, then, who is that horrible creature painted and dyed, with eyes half out of her head and an eternal sickly smile on her face?
38532Of me?
38532Oh, my dear friend,rejoined Lorimer,"you must not overdo anything, if it comes to that-- you allow a cigarette?"
38532Oh, that is your reason, eh? 38532 Oh, what shall we do with her, Hobbs, if she is so naughty?"
38532Oh, why, ma''am?
38532Once for all, is it possible that you do not see the rôle that your husband is playing? 38532 Once more, what is it you would have me to do?"
38532Out of countenance? 38532 Philip was always a good shot-- he himself was not hurt?"
38532Philip, how can you? 38532 Philip, where are you?"
38532Philip,said she,"what are you thinking of?"
38532Quite a little girl, and then as tall as that-- and that-- and that?
38532Really!--and for how much?
38532Really,replied Mrs. W. G. van der Leyd Smythe,"when was that?"
38532Really?
38532Sabaroff? 38532 Shall I?"
38532She does not know who it is that is living there, of course?
38532Still in love, I see,_ cher ami, hein_? 38532 Tear up this letter?
38532Thanks,said the patron of arts..."I came"..."To arrange for a portrait?"
38532Then we are going to be happier than ever?
38532Then what kind of man shall you marry?
38532Then why do you come here, old fellow?
38532Then you would like to see the studio first, perhaps?
38532They have come again, eh?
38532This General Sabaroff, why is he so often here? 38532 To St. John''s Wood?"
38532To nurse sick people and take care of the poor who are suffering?
38532Very romantic? 38532 Well, and how goes the portrait?"
38532Well, and how much is your rent?
38532Well, doctor,said she,"is it over?"
38532Well, my dear Hobbs, and how are things going by this time?
38532Well, my dear doctor,said Lorimer,"we have had an afternoon''s work, but it has been successful, eh?"
38532Well, then, you had a mama, too, that''s grandma, is n''t it? 38532 Well, what is it?"
38532Well, what''s your news?
38532Well?
38532What did he say?
38532What did you do?
38532What do you mean to say? 38532 What do you mean?"
38532What do you mean?
38532What do you think of my new acquaintances?
38532What do you want me to do?
38532What does he say about her?
38532What famous picture?
38532What have you discovered, dear friend?
38532What is my little wife thinking of so deeply that she does not notice the sound of her husband''s footsteps?
38532What is this?
38532What is your definition of happiness?
38532What letter is that?
38532What will be my thanks? 38532 When do you wish to take possession, madam?"
38532When you were seventeen?
38532Where has he been?
38532Where have you been and where have you come from?
38532Where in the name of fortune have I put my manuscript?
38532Where is Philip? 38532 Where is he?"
38532Where? 38532 Who is gone?"
38532Why do I look at you?
38532Why do I look at you?
38532Why do you say that?
38532Why more? 38532 Why move?
38532Why not?
38532Why then, why do n''t you?
38532Why, old fellow, what on earth is the matter with you?
38532Why?
38532Will your Excellency offer your arm to my wife?
38532Yes, but at what cost? 38532 Yes, is n''t he?
38532Yes,said Philip,"and how we made the dinner shorter, so as to be able to afford the price of two seats in that upper circle?"
38532Yes; who sends them?
38532You are not offended with me?
38532You do n''t say so,said Lorimer, amazed;"an old uncle about to depart this life?"
38532You want me to ask that man to come and see me as a friend, after what I have told you?
38532You wonder how I dare? 38532 _ Hein!_ Georges, do n''t you think I knock''em with my songs?"
38532Again, what does it all mean?
38532And after that?"
38532And how I cooked all the meals, and how you never enjoyed them better?
38532And this is my reward?
38532And what is yours?"
38532And why should n''t I?
38532And why?
38532And yet, why do I say_ will kill her_, when it is just this living souvenir that keeps her alive-- that will keep her alive, perhaps?
38532And, by the way, do you know that you have made over a thousand pounds this year, and that we have kept very nearly half of it?
38532And, remarking that Dora had brought in a handful of pansies, he added--"More pansies?"
38532Are the flowers for Philip or for me?
38532Are you fond of storms yourself?"
38532Are you glad?"
38532Are you indeed so blind?
38532Are you satisfied, or shall I call him back to offer him the rest?"
38532As for this portrait, I''ll throw it in the fire or pitch it out of the window, do you hear?"
38532Besides, had she not in firm clear tones given her promise to love, honour, and obey him?
38532Besides, where is it now, that beautiful house where I was brought up?
38532But ca n''t you see I loathe the life I lead?
38532But he?
38532But where can daddy be?
38532But why do you stare so, Hobbs?
38532But, what if he should not have forgotten her, if he still loves her?
38532Ca n''t you see, man, I''m in such a fever of impatience, that I ca n''t hold a brush, my hand is trembling so?
38532Can you conceive such a thing?
38532Can you suggest something?"
38532Did you ask her here to- night?"
38532Did you ever hear such cheek?
38532Do you believe me when I tell you that I felt as if I recognised some of our own dining- room furniture through the window?
38532Do you know that by obstinately refusing to listen to reason, a woman cuts herself off from friendly sympathy?
38532Do you know what she did once?
38532Do you remember, for instance, how we enjoyed the play when, once a month, obscure, unknown to everybody, we went to the upper circle?
38532Do you remember-- ah, I do!--how for many weeks you put away ten shillings a week so as to be able to buy it for me on my birthday?
38532Do you see this little ring?"
38532Do you think it is only men who feel?
38532Does he miss the train when he knows that his wife will be alone with that man for a whole evening?
38532Does one offer rich wine to a weary traveller, and, when he has taken but one sip from the cup, dash it from his lips and bid him begone?
38532Dora went pale; she put the packet aside, and was going to tear up the letter when Lorimer interrupted--"What are you going to do?"
38532Dora will be down in a minute... only, dear boy, do not mention the shell, will you?
38532Dora, what have you to say in reply?"
38532Everyone has his fads here on earth, has he not?
38532First of all, what do you mean by all his obligations towards his wife?
38532For me?
38532Grantham?"
38532Had there been a romance in his life, before she had known him?
38532Have n''t I already told you how glad I was that you came in time to sit down with us?
38532Have we not musicians by the score, who have had to resort to Italian_ noms de guerre_, to get a hearing in this country?
38532Have you a new piece on hand?
38532Have you answered his letters?"
38532He never explained all that to you?
38532How can one be silent and make music?"
38532How can you turn a cold face to such a husband as yours for such a man as this?"
38532How could I be happier than I am?"
38532How do you mean?"
38532How does she keep you and herself?
38532How many men have succeeded in keeping on virtue''s path altogether?
38532I am fairly satisfied with it,"said Philip;"it is like her, is it not?
38532I missed the nine o''clock train and there was an accident... but what is the use of trying to explain anything to you in your present state?
38532I never can remember names-- what is his name again?"
38532I suppose you still have the spare thirty- six by fifty to fill up, eh?"
38532If I am not right, what is the meaning of all this that I see around us?"
38532If we have not the income to keep a house like this, why do we live in it?
38532Is it an accident... or a diabolical plot?
38532Is it not droll?
38532Is n''t it enough for a woman to know that she is loved, by the substantial proofs of affection that are given her?"
38532Is she worse?"
38532Is that kind of thing a natural consequence of the complete absorption?"
38532Is that your absorption, too?
38532It makes me so miserable to see what is going on in this house-- tell me, what does it all mean?
38532Just fancy?"
38532Just to please me, would you mind taking this palette and these brushes, and seating yourself in front of that easel?"
38532Look at me well,"he said, seizing her arm;"do I look like a man who can be so lightly played with?"
38532Look here, I have a little business in the neighbourhood, my time is my own; may I come at four o''clock to ask you for a cup of tea?"
38532Mr. Lorimer is gone, I suppose?"
38532No, I have drunk the bitter draught, I have gone through the mire of degradation; and now, is the nightmare ended?
38532Now, do n''t you think I''m right?"
38532Now, do you know the holiday of my life that I shall never forget?"
38532Now, had you not?"
38532Now, what have you got that would fill them?"
38532Now, what is the matter?"
38532Now, what is your definition of happiness?"
38532Now, why?
38532Of whom had they been speaking?
38532Oh, Gerald, do look at that imposing- looking matron; who is she?"
38532Oh, I see, you work too?"
38532Oh, you wo n''t let him do it, you wo n''t, will you?
38532On my fingers?
38532Or does he, too, believe that he was encouraged by me?
38532Perhaps I am a little puritanical; but what can you expect?
38532Perhaps I should have told you this before, but when I have been on the point of doing so, I always said to myself,''What is the use?''
38532Philip was probably seeking to solve this problem: How can I make eight thousand pounds a year with a capital of hardly forty thousand pounds?
38532Philip, if it should be so, you wo n''t throw me into the society of this man, will you?
38532Professions, which ninety- nine times out of a hundred bring in little besides disappointments, disillusions, a miserable pittance, and often despair?
38532Shall I introduce her to you?"
38532Shall I sign?
38532Some pictures that you have finished lately?
38532Speak, speak, what is it?"
38532Taking her hands in his own, he said--"Well, darling, how do you feel?
38532The General is gone, of course?"
38532The General is interested in my shell-- I am convinced that Russia will offer me a fortune for it; but why do you look at me in that way?"
38532The very air chokes me-- where is Philip now?
38532Their past life had been an unbroken chain of happy days; what did the future hold in store?
38532Then she would resume:"Eva?
38532Then, looking at Dora, who seemed agitated, he added--"What do you mean?"
38532There is nothing here, is there?
38532To- day he is the Russian Minister of War-- it is quite possible, even probable; but then?
38532Two people supposed to be sensible, billing and cooing over a package of old flowers, after being married, let me see-- how long?"
38532Upon this a servant came rapidly downstairs, and Philip stopped him in the hall to ask--"Where are you going?"
38532Was Dora completely mad, or was this some marvellous and mysterious metamorphosis?
38532Was it any wonder that I went half mad and ran into all kind of excesses?
38532Was n''t it lovely?
38532Was she pretty, like you?"
38532Was there ever such a goosikins?"
38532We have an idea in our heads, and you shall help us by and by to put it into execution; so, for the present, not one word, you hear?"
38532Well, did n''t we do it after all?
38532Well, what then?
38532Well?"
38532What can it be all about?"
38532What could have happened since?
38532What could it possibly be?
38532What did the time of day matter to her now?
38532What do you say to the offer?"
38532What do you think I am made of?
38532What has become of those happy days when we loved each other so much, and when you thought only of your art?
38532What has been happening here to put you in such a state?"
38532What has happened that he is not here?
38532What if it be the Colonel Sabaroff that I met eight years ago at Monte Carlo?
38532What is he doing?
38532What is she doing?
38532What is that frantic applause for?...
38532What is the matter?
38532What is to be my reward?"
38532What more can I wish for?
38532What more do you ask?"
38532What to do?
38532What was it?
38532When I am in the bill at_ Les ambassadeurs_, the place is always full of English-- my songs are_ canaille_, are n''t they?
38532When I said just now,''What''s your news?''
38532Where is my share?
38532Where is the danger?
38532Where is the father who would advise his son to work at art, music, or literature for a livelihood?
38532Where is the head of the family who would not dread for his sons these often illiberal professions?
38532Who sent it?
38532Why did they refuse my shell?
38532Why do you call your husband?
38532Why do you look at me in that strange fashion?"
38532Why do you look at me like that?"
38532Why had Philip mentioned the story of the pansies to Monsieur de Lussac?
38532Why had Philip shown him the packet?
38532Why should I?"
38532Why should she not conquer her antipathy for him and make use of a little diplomacy to render me a service?
38532Why should we live beyond our means?
38532Will you allow a bachelor, an intimate friend of your husband''s, to congratulate you with all his heart?
38532Will you listen a few moments?"
38532Will you, please, go up at once, ma''am?"
38532Would she sell the canvas?
38532Would they take right or left?
38532Would you believe it?
38532Yes, that is the point things have come to; now, do you hear what I say?
38532You are not going to remain here and let me go without you, surely?"
38532You understand, do n''t you?
38532You will help me, wo n''t you?"
38532You wo n''t ask me to make him welcome here?"
38532Your husband is an artist, I suppose, ma''am?"
38532am I mad?
38532are n''t you glad you''re not a little girl any longer?"
38532exclaimed Philip, his eyes shining with joy--"shall I be rich?
38532he cried,"what have I done?
38532open the letter for me, will you?"
38532said Dora, startled,"and what happened then?"
38532said Dora,"and do you also remember how you were once turned out of the kitchen for kissing the cook?
38532said Dora;"have I slept a long while?
38532said de Lussac;"is it the price of laxity hidden in the emblem of chastity?
38532she said;"gone?"
38532was it of her?
38532what did you say?"
38532what matters it?
38532what now?
38532what''s this?"
38532where are we going?"
18445A blonde? 18445 A pretty question-- what is her name?"
18445A rope dancer?
18445Ah, but where does this animal come from?
18445Ah, naughty girl,said the artist, sadly tapping his hand lightly on his mistress''breast,"what have you got inside here?"
18445Ai n''t he too good?
18445All the same,said Sidonie,"what does she want with Seraphin when she is in love with Marcel?
18445Allow me,rejoined Schaunard, thrusting his plate under his nose,"what part do you call that?"
18445An important one?
18445And does he know your present situation?
18445And madame?
18445And my chapter on ventilators?
18445And my wages?
18445And my word, then?
18445And that,added Schaunard, pointing to the star- adorned petticoat that was lying on a chair,"it is not an adornment of mine, perhaps?
18445And that?
18445And the coin?
18445And the lover of whom she is so fond?
18445And the rent?
18445And then?
18445And these?
18445And what do you think of that modest leg of salt marsh mutton?
18445And what is his road in literature?
18445And who is this new idol? 18445 And you,"asked Marcel,"do you still love him?"
18445And,asked Mimi,"what did he do on leaving the room we had occupied, what did he say on abandoning the room in which he had loved me so?"
18445Anything there?
18445Are they Monsieur Rodolphe''s too?
18445Are you a pupil of Vernet''s?
18445Are you angry, Rodolphe, that I have come here?
18445Are you coming to bed?
18445Are you crazy?
18445Are you going out so?
18445Are you really a Turk?
18445Away, what would you with me?
18445But are you sure that the gentleman can make very melancholy verses?
18445But how did you get into such a state in so short a time?
18445But look, will you?
18445But otherwise,said Colline,"literature apart, what is your opinion of him?"
18445But since when?
18445But the bird, the bird?
18445But what for?
18445But what have you been doing since I wrote to you?
18445But what means--"But I assure you--"Oh, what can be this mystery?
18445But what proves that you are in love with one another? 18445 But what would you think of me if I let you go, knowing where you are going to?
18445But where shall we go?
18445But whither?
18445But why do you want money?
18445But why not at once?
18445But why wo n''t you come in?
18445But will you come back?
18445But you yourself,said Marcel,"whence came you on the wings of this four- wheeler?"
18445But your furniture?
18445But,added Marcel and Rodolphe together,"where do you hope to draw this amount of capital from?"
18445But,asked Barbemuche,"for what reasons could they refuse to admit me among them?"
18445But,resumed Schaunard, whose voice betrayed a commencement of alarm,"do you hear that?"
18445But,said Marcel, going up to his friend,"are you quite sure, certain sure, that we have no money left anywhere hereabout?
18445But,said Marcel,"if you move, shall you take your furniture with you?"
18445Buy what?
18445By the way, Monsieur Marcel, you do not know why I have called on you?
18445By the way,asked Marcel,"what did you want?"
18445Can a man want three hats when he had but one head?
18445Can he be sending already to ask for his money again?
18445Can not you tail on to your analysis a little, or rather a long criticism of the piece, eh?
18445Can there be no more? 18445 Can you ask?
18445Candidly now,said Musette to Marcel,"where were you going just now?"
18445Come, are you coming Schaunard?
18445Did he treat you well?
18445Did you see?
18445Do I love him?
18445Do I remember?
18445Do you accept this serious offer?
18445Do you know what I should like, Monsieur Rodolphe? 18445 Do you live far off?"
18445Do you make it a cabinet question?
18445Do you mind going there, Schaunard? 18445 Do you really think that I put myself out about him?"
18445Do you remember last year''s?
18445Do you think I care for public opinion? 18445 Do you want to know my opinion?
18445Do you want to lock yourself in?
18445Do your remember_ Romeo and Juliet_?
18445Does that shock custom?
18445Eh? 18445 Eh?
18445Excuse me, one more question,said the landlord,"What is your profession?"
18445Excuse me, sir,continued the landlord, with a bow to the young man now left alone with him,"to whom have I the honour of speaking?"
18445Find what?
18445Five hundred, half a thousand; did you never see one before?
18445For sure?
18445For the sake of art?
18445For what?
18445For what?
18445For whom?
18445Furnished lodging?
18445Good fellow,repeated Marcel,"is not that a term of ridicule?"
18445Good heavens, what am I about? 18445 Good, but why defend yourself?
18445Guillotine who? 18445 Happy,"replied Lazare,"what do you call happy?
18445Has anything happened which will oblige us to put it off?
18445Have I not a right,asked the Englishman,"to bathe in my rooms?"
18445Have I read him? 18445 Have you been playing tricks on the viscount, then?"
18445Have you change for five hundred francs?
18445Have you got a bell in your pocket, for it to jingle as loud as that?
18445Have you lost your senses?
18445Have you often found such accommodating people as myself?
18445Have you thought of what I told you this morning? 18445 He is grieving, that is certain, but what am I to do?
18445He shall not have any coffee, eh, madame?
18445How are you all?
18445How can they refuse it, without all the vermilion of my Red Sea mounting to their cheeks, and covering them with the blush of shame?
18445How did it come there?
18445How do I know?
18445How do you wish to have your portrait taken?
18445How is that?
18445How is this?
18445How large do you wish it to be?
18445How long has it been the fashion to breakfast two days running?
18445How long is it since I have heard the story of the Battle of Studzianka?
18445How much did you make out of your last benefit?
18445How much will it be?
18445How so?
18445How? 18445 How?
18445Humph-- and you, do you still love him?
18445I am an artist,she replied, then added,"My dear sir and neighbor, will you do me the honor to dine and spend the evening with me?"
18445I imprison my liberty in the bonds of matrimony? 18445 I say,"said Rodolphe,"what are you driving at?
18445If it is so completely finished,said Marcel, who had read through Rodolphe''s verses,"why do you write verses about her?"
18445If it were Musette who had returned, what would you do?
18445If she is so fond of him, what is the use of Seraphin, almost a lad, and who had never had a mistress?
18445If we looked under the furniture, in the stuffing of the arm chairs? 18445 If we were to liquify the explanation?"
18445In print?
18445Is it a respectable place?
18445Is it not a miracle?
18445Is my room ready?
18445Is n''t it Paul and Virginia?
18445Is she pretty?
18445Is she pretty?
18445Is that the manuscript of your work?
18445Is this Monsieur Bernard''s?
18445Is your tenant not going to make room for me soon?
18445It is general pay- day then?
18445It is like that that you passed the night?
18445It is possible,said Mimi,"he was so worn out by the night before, but the next day?"
18445It is very fine,said Colline,"but could you also explain to me the mysteries of this splendid outer covering that rendered you unrecognizable?
18445Money down?
18445Monsieur Schaunard?
18445Most willingly, but how? 18445 Mourning?"
18445Murat, who used to work in a cellar, eh? 18445 My dear Monsieur Marcel,"said she,"are you a true knight?"
18445No matter, how many lines do your opinions fill?
18445On what terms are you?
18445Poor Musette, she was very pretty though, and she loved me dearly, is it not so, little bouquet? 18445 Really and truly?"
18445Really,said the poet,"are you in love again already?"
18445Seen whom?
18445Shall we work tonight?
18445Thanks, we do not take the same size, only you would greatly oblige me by the loan of--"Twenty nine sous to buy a pair? 18445 Then will you deprive me of the pleasure of being agreeable to you?"
18445Then,observed Rodolphe,"this gentleman is quite right, and we are in his place?"
18445Then,said Marcel uneasily,"you still mean to move?"
18445Think I do n''t know it?
18445To go to the masked ball?
18445To kill Tybalt with?
18445Wages? 18445 We will open to him the vistas of literature; but do you think he will consent?"
18445Well then,said the philosopher pointing to the rope ladder,"what is that?"
18445Well what else have I been saying for an hour past?
18445Well, afterwards?
18445Well, are you satisfied now?
18445Well, have you got a hundred francs to lend me?
18445Well, my dear Louise, when and where shall I see you again?
18445Well, philosopher,said the latter,"what do you think of this?"
18445Well, to put a case-- you understand?
18445Well, what more?
18445Well, what of it?
18445Well, what then?
18445Well,asked Marcel of the girl when they were alone together,"what took place last night?"
18445Well,asked Marcel,"did you succeed?"
18445Well,quoth the delegate,"when do we begin?
18445Well,said Juliet,"this is the moment to go into the balcony and bid one another despairing farewells-- what do you think of it?"
18445Well?
18445Well?
18445Well?
18445Well?
18445Well?
18445Were you at the Odeon Theater last night?
18445What are his hopes?
18445What are those?
18445What are you doing here?
18445What are you driving at?
18445What are you driving at?
18445What are you up to?
18445What are you up to?
18445What are you waiting for?
18445What did he say? 18445 What do I mean to do?"
18445What do I owe you?
18445What do you mean to do with that garden?
18445What do you mean?
18445What do you mean?
18445What do you mean?
18445What do you mean?
18445What do you think of my first chapter?
18445What do you want to do?
18445What do you want, Durand?
18445What do you want, gentlemen?
18445What do you want? 18445 What does he mean by his Venetian glass?"
18445What does that matter to me? 18445 What has become of you?"
18445What have you been drinking?
18445What is he harping about Thursday?
18445What is he playing off his politeness on me for?
18445What is his condition in the world? 18445 What is his profession?"
18445What is it?
18445What is it?
18445What is the matter with you?
18445What is the matter?
18445What is the matter?
18445What is the matter?
18445What is the matter?
18445What is the matter?
18445What is the matter?
18445What is the matter?
18445What is the matter?
18445What is the social position of your principal?
18445What is to be done then?
18445What is to be done? 18445 What matters the autumn leaves?"
18445What shall we do with it?
18445What shall we have?
18445What sort of man is Alexis?
18445What the deuce are you doing here?
18445What the deuce brings you here and at this time of night?
18445What the deuce have we been up to?
18445What would you have?
18445What would you?
18445What''s the document?
18445What''s the matter with you?
18445What, did you not know? 18445 What, do you think of going?"
18445What, you are not yet thirty, and are already thinking of doing your Russia?
18445What,replied the dresser,"you do not know?
18445What,said he,"is it St. Cupid''s Day and can not I take a step without running up against people in love?
18445What? 18445 What?"
18445What?
18445What?
18445What?
18445What?
18445Where are you going so late in this region?
18445Where are you going, sir?
18445Where are you going?
18445Where could I go to?
18445Where did you find the money?
18445Where is Musette?
18445Where is young Seraphin?
18445Where shall we dine today?
18445Where the deuce has all the money gone?
18445Which is better; to allow oneself always to be deceived through believing, or never to believe for fear of always being deceived?
18445Who else would have seen it? 18445 Who is Laura?"
18445Who is that gentleman?
18445Who is the victim?
18445Who is there?
18445Who is this Ali Baba?
18445Who knows?
18445Who the deuce can it be at this time of night?
18445Whom is this piece by?
18445Why be in such a hurry? 18445 Why did n''t you tell me before?
18445Why did you not come sooner?
18445Why do n''t you borrow the sum of the lady herself?
18445Why do n''t you go and tell her yourself?
18445Why not?
18445Why so?
18445Why so?
18445Why, why should you go? 18445 Why?"
18445Why?
18445Why?
18445Why?
18445Why?
18445Why?
18445Will she stay there?
18445Will there be any ladies?
18445Will there be some women?
18445Will those scoundrels never be quiet?
18445Will you allow me to call on you?
18445Will you be so good as to tell me what you think of the love scene?
18445With Rodolphe?
18445With whom and with what?
18445Wo n''t the fire light?
18445Wo n''t you say good night?
18445Would it be impolite, Monsieur Schaunard, to inquire your new address?
18445Would not you like to keep Christmas Eve?
18445Would you believe it,said the uncle,"that I have been forced to borrow money from my shopman to meet a bill?"
18445Would you like me to come with you a bit?
18445Yes, by the way,said the porter,"whom do you want?"
18445Yes,said Marcel,"what does he play on?"
18445You are no longer a viscountess, then?
18445You are sure?
18445You are the household, are you not?
18445You are working-- verses?
18445You do n''t know anyone who would do that for me cheap? 18445 You got Marcel''s letter all right?"
18445You have no gloves, shall I lend you mine?
18445You have seen the new piece, then?
18445You know the gentleman?
18445You think so?
18445You understand music?
18445You were saying that business was not flourishing?
18445You will not refuse another glass?
18445_What are those sundries?"
18445''"_"What did we buy that was useful?
18445''To be or not to be?''
18445''What matter the bottle, so long as we draw intoxication from it?''"
18445''Why do you want to take that off?''
18445***** One evening, when she was humming in a low tone to herself, Vicomte Paul said to Mimi,"What are you singing, dear?"
18445A poor pun, eh?
18445Again, I ask, was I not right in my prophecies; and would you believe me now, if I tell you that you will not stop at this?
18445Am I asking you for money?"
18445Am I not soon going to be in possession of my lodging?
18445Am I to believe the rumors that are current, and that this misfortune has broken down to such a degree your robust philosophy?
18445And are not the independence, the freedom of mannerism of which we boast so loudly, very mediocre advantages?
18445And he added carelessly,"Do we breakfast today?"
18445And how could he repulse her, this charming creature who came to him armed with all the seductions of a beauty at its dawn?
18445And the chapter on stoves-- where are you in that?"
18445And then for whose sake was she false to him?
18445And these, again,"he continued, recognizing his slippers on Marcel''s feet,"are not those my papouches, the gift of a beloved hand?
18445And what is his name?"
18445And you, Marcel?"
18445And you,"he continued, laughing,"would you like to be sixty?"
18445And you?"
18445Another head?
18445Are we not all here?"
18445Are you ready?"
18445Are you really a good one?"
18445At the conclusion of the second chapter, the poet interrupted his host:"Do n''t you feel your throat a little dry?"
18445Besides, was not Mimi clever enough to prove to him at need that he was mistaken?
18445But in that case why is he not black?"
18445But what then?"
18445Can not you still be my friend, because you have been something else?
18445Can you not also satisfy the void of my heart, which has been so long empty?"
18445Come, now, how shall I manage to accord it?
18445Did Carolus make you pay?"
18445Did I hire a room here and pay you a deposit to bind the bargain?
18445Did he speak to you about me?"
18445Did she transmit it to you?"
18445Do we not owe passive obedience to these ladies?
18445Do you forget that this is the twentieth, and at this time of the month their wardrobe is up to the very top of the spout?"
18445Do you keep a dancer?"
18445Do you presume to speak to me with your cap on?"
18445Do you remember, young lady, you who now walk hand- in- hand, and who, up to two days back, had never seen one another?
18445Do you think I am carrying away my furniture in a handkerchief?"
18445Do you think it is really true that he no longer loves me at all?"
18445Do you understand?"
18445Do you understand?"
18445Does Allah lend your plans no helping hand?
18445Does not that prove that she loved me better than you?"
18445Eh?"
18445Every stroke diffused itself through the room in mocking sounds which seemed to say to the unlucky Schaunard,"Are you ready?"
18445Fancy, he wanted to make me learn orthography; what the deuce should I have done with it?
18445Follow my idea?"
18445For a moment I really thought that he was going to die in my arms, or that, at least, he would go mad, as he almost did once before, you remember?
18445For after all, what is the use of all your papers that no one can understand?
18445For, after all, is it a life we lead?
18445Four square meals of my childhood, what has become of you?"
18445Had this philosophical article burst upon the gaze of astonished Europe?
18445Hang it; what am I to do?"
18445Have you brought me any money?"
18445Have you read Shakespeare?"
18445Have you really got something to do?"
18445How can you call a passion, which brings a man to the condition in which Jacques is at this moment, happiness?
18445How is she?
18445How is this chasm to be filled?"
18445How many pages like that are wanted for the skirt?"
18445How much do I owe, Adele?"
18445How much does your friendship for me amount to?"
18445How refuse his hand to this little white one, delicately veined with blue, that was held out to him full of caresses?
18445How say,"Get you gone,"to these eighteen years, the presence of which already filled the home with a perfume of youth and gaiety?
18445How shall I fill up these twelve eternities?"
18445I am at the town hall, am I not?
18445I am the father of a family, am I not?
18445I go to the cafe for a game at dominoes?
18445If he had suffered deeply on account of her, was not this suffering the expiation of the immense joys she had bestowed upon him?
18445In gold?"
18445Indeed, what will happen if we continue this monotonous and idle vagabondage?
18445Is a palace not sufficient security for the rent of a garret?"
18445Is it long since you saw him, Marcel and is it true that he is much altered?"
18445Is that good style?"
18445Is there anyone who wants to be buried?"
18445Is there anything new in the world except virtue?"
18445Is there no other place in the vicinity where you could step in without being hindered by any mathematical difficulties?"
18445Is there not anything else saleable here?
18445Is there nothing sacred for you, atheist that you are?"
18445Is this the eighth of April?
18445Jacques rose, and said, looking fixedly at him,"it is over, is it not-- there is no longer any hope?"
18445Like a personage in a tragedy, he ejaculated:"Can I believe my eyes?"
18445Little white hands with the blue veins, little white hands to whom I had affianced my lips, have you too received my last kiss?"
18445Mademoiselle Marie, so you are no longer in mourning?"
18445Monsieur Schaunard,"cried he, blocking up the artist''s way,"do n''t you remember that this is the eighth of April?"
18445Monsieur Schaunard?"
18445Musette read a challenge in this sentence, and quickly replied,"And it will not perhaps be the last, eh?"
18445Now do you see it?"
18445On seeing her master in such a state, she set up a shriek, and asked,"what are they doing to him?"
18445On the other hand, by wearing this veil up, it was it that risked escaping notice, and in that case, what was the good of having it?
18445Play the traitor to whom?"
18445Pretty brown curly head that has slept so long on this spot, will you never come back to sleep here again?
18445Rodolphe saw him coming, and at once recognized him; as indeed, who would not who had once seen him?
18445Rodolphe waiting for a cab?
18445She only asked one thing-- whether he kissed her hands as often as he used to kiss her own?
18445Speak sir,"she continued, raising her head towards the young man,"what do you wish?"
18445Suppose we went into the country on the Boulevards?"
18445That calm, that tranquillity which he had hoped for on separating from his mistress, had he found them again after her departure?
18445That is what we all are-- monstrous egoists-- who love love for love''s sake-- you understand me?
18445That makes altogether---?"
18445Then Musette would look at him laughingly, and say--"What would you have, my dear fellow?
18445To the Grand Turk?
18445True liberty consists of being able to dispense with the aid of others, and to exist by oneself, and have we got to that?
18445Volumes of poetry with a portrait of the author in spectacles?
18445Was it not the ordinary vengeance of human fate which forbids absolute happiness as an impiety?
18445Was my love killed on learning that Mimi was to die?"
18445We shall be ready, shall we not, ladies?"
18445We were like some wretched copy of a masterpiece?
18445Well, and the muff?
18445Were not the Bourbons right to guillotine him, since he had played the traitor?"
18445What a blow it must have been to his heart no longer to find me there on coming home, eh?"
18445What am I to wear?"
18445What are the police about?"
18445What books are they?
18445What can it have been?"
18445What cataclysm had then taken place in his existence?
18445What could I be thinking of?
18445What did he do with them?"
18445What did you want a glass for?
18445What do I see?
18445What do you do with so much money?
18445What do you mean by this and that?
18445What do you say to my project, philosopher?"
18445What do you sleep on?"
18445What do you think about it, philosopher?"
18445What do you think of this one, eh?
18445What does he live on, and where does he live?
18445What for?"
18445What has given me the pleasure of this visit?"
18445What has happened to us?"
18445What is all that to me?
18445What is he doing?
18445What is it?"
18445What is there to be wondered at in that?"
18445What is there to prove that you were not waiting for her?"
18445What must she think of my absence?
18445What they call a cataclysm-- you understand?"
18445What times we had up there; do you remember?
18445What will become of you?
18445What will madame say?"
18445What will my life be like within these four walls?"
18445What would you have done in my place?"
18445What would you have, reader?
18445What, indeed, had he gained by their rupture?
18445What, it is the 15th of April?
18445When did you see her last?"
18445When the dresser returned he took him by the hand and said these words:"My friend, suppose that the letter I wrote to you a week ago was true?"
18445Where am I to find them?
18445Where and when did you make her acquaintance?"
18445Where are you going to dine this evening?"
18445Where are you going?"
18445Where do you suppose it could come from?"
18445Where is it?"
18445Who are you?"
18445Who can affirm that intelligence absolutely ends where insensibility begins?
18445Who can say that the passions fade away and die exactly at the last beat of the heart which they have agitated?
18445Who can tell?
18445Who''s to pay for it?"
18445Why and wherefore this lecture?"
18445Why sits this pallor on your noble brow?
18445Will you allow me to offer you some box tickets?
18445Will you allow me to seize the present one?"
18445Will you be good enough, sir, to help me to look for it?
18445Will you come with me?
18445Will you dissect it?"
18445Will you order the dinner?"
18445Will you stay to dinner?"
18445Will you take the trouble to come downstairs?"
18445Wo n''t it be fun?"
18445Yes or no?"
18445You are going?"
18445You can, can you not?
18445You have become rich, then?"
18445You have not seen her again?"
18445You know the tall fellow who laughs in my face when I take him his bill?"
18445You must have gone round by the Pyrenees?"
18445You understand astronomy?"
18445_ Another Reader_: And Mademoiselle Francine, where about is she, then?
18445asked the artist,"can not you guess?
18445cried the stranger,"what do I see?
18445cried the widow,"do they talk about him in the papers?
18445exclaimed Colline,"what did he take my greatcoat for?"
18445exclaimed Musette,"why should you say that to me?
18445exclaimed Phemie, dazzled on seeing her lover so elegantly got up,"where did you find that jacket?"
18445exclaimed Rodolphe,"who has blown the candle out?"
18445exclaimed the porter on seeing his former tenant,"Monsieur Schaunard, how did you come here?"
18445it''s you, is it?"
18445my friend Rodolphe, what has happened to change you thus?
18445quoth Schaunard,"have you any more sauce there?"
18445said Colline in a tone of raillery,"what can one be waiting for when one is twenty, when there are stars in the sky and songs in the air?"
18445said Colline, and he began to recite:"Wilt thou begone?
18445said Rodolphe uneasy,"you are going to wear''Methuselah''?"
18445said Rodolphe,"do n''t you hear?
18445said Rodolphe,"who is this animated sonnet loitering here?
18445said Rodolphe,"you are going into society in a colored shirt?"
18445said he to himself when he got into the street,"what shall I do?
18445said the other, and she added,"and you, is your benefit soon coming on?"
18445shouted Rodolphe,"do n''t you see, you wretch, that he is talking of''tin''?
18445so I am not the Monsieur Schaunard to whom formal notice to quit is given at a cost of five francs?
18445so you want to show me the door?"
18445what is it?"
18445what?
18445where did you get that sermon?
18445you''ve used up one faggot already?"
4520''” “ What by that? ” said Aaron.
4520--and I said,''Chi?
4520A fair man?
4520A maudlin crying to be loved, which makes your knees all go rickety. ” “ Think that''s it? ” said Jim.
4520A red light? ” “ Oh, that''s only the pit- bank on fire, ” said Robert, who had followed her.
4520A rug for your knees?
4520Ah, my dear fellow, what is life but a search for a friend?
4520All right?
4520Almost angered him?
4520Am I not right? ” “ Quite.
4520And I may be no other to her-- ” “ Then why not let it be so, and be satisfied? ” said Lilly.
4520And I thought to myself: have I lost my cloak?
4520And Tanny is all right, you say?
4520And did she?
4520And if I can fall in love-- But it''s becoming so damned hard-- ” “ What, to fall in love? ” asked Lilly.
4520And if I do n''t choose to let you see me crying, that does n''t prove I''ve never had a bad half hour, does it?
4520And is n''t it a great deal of honour for one man?
4520And it does make a difference, does n''t it, Tanny dear? ” “ A great difference, ” said Tanny.
4520And it does n''t matter, not to anybody but myself. ” “ What becomes of anybody, anyhow?
4520And it is n''t natural, quite, to break it.--Do you know what I mean? ” She paused a moment.
4520And she likes him too, does n''t she? ” said Tanny.
4520And so-- you see-- everything goes-- ” “ But you will begin again? ” “ Yes.
4520And supposing I am as you say-- are you any different? ” “ No, I''m not very different.
4520And that if I enter into an undertaking, it will be successful. ” “ And your life has been always successful? ” “ Yes-- almost always.
4520And then shot him dead. ” “ Was he dead? ” said Aaron.
4520And then what?
4520And was it not his privilege?
4520And what did you think of it? ” “ Very fine. ” “ I think it is.
4520And what have they learnt?--Why did so many of them have presentiments, as he called it?
4520And what''s the bonum publicum but a mob power?
4520And when will you be moving in? ” said Francis.
4520And why?
4520And will you practise with me, so that I can accompany you? ” said Manfredi eagerly.
4520And wo n''t you let me take the accompaniment?
4520And you are in the Nardini just across there, are you?
4520And you can tell me if it is foolish to you.--Shall I tell you?
4520And you have a family in England?
4520Any relation of Robert? ” “ Oh, yes!
4520Anybody? ” “ Rather! ” came the deep voice of Clariss.
4520Are n''t you better off without him? ” “ I am.
4520Are n''t you yourself seeking? ” “ Oh, that''s another matter, ” put in Argyle.
4520Are n''t you?
4520Are you all of you? ” “ Absolutely wild, ” said Lilly laconically.
4520Are you all right? ” she said.
4520Are you as keen on innocence as Manfredi is? ” “ Innocence? ” said Aaron.
4520Are you as keen on innocence as Manfredi is? ” “ Innocence? ” said Aaron.
4520Are you going to play without music? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron.
4520Are you quite all right here?
4520Are you quite comfortable?
4520Are you sure you have everything?
4520At what time?
4520At what time? ” “ Any time, ” said Aaron.
4520Bach?
4520Because the Germans are the only people who could make a war like this-- and I do n''t think they''ll ever do it again, do you?
4520Been going to the dogs, eh? ” “ Or the bitches, ” said Aaron.
4520Beethoven inspires that in me, too. ” “ He makes you feel that all will be well with you at last? ” “ Yes, he does.
4520Better-- better-- ” “ Good-- you say?
4520Bring it, will you?
4520But I keep myself from realising, do n''t you know?
4520But I often wonder what will become of me. ” “ In what way? ” She was almost affronted.
4520But I was n''t really. ” “ Then you expected him? ” “ No.
4520But I''d rather meet her abroad than here-- and get on a different footing. ” “ Why? ” “ Oh, I do n''t know.
4520But ah, what is it, you know?
4520But as one must frown at something, why not at the bowler hat?
4520But did you go up, now, to the belvedere? ” “ To the top-- where the vines are?
4520But did you go up, now, to the belvedere? ” “ To the top-- where the vines are?
4520But do n''t you give private recitals, too? ” “ No, I never have. ” “ Oh! ” cried Francis, catching his breath.
4520But do you think I might? ” “ Oh, yes.
4520But here you are in bed like a woman who''s had a baby.--You''re all right, are you? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron.
4520But in the heart--?
4520But it drives us, and eats away the life-- and yet we love each other, and we must not separate-- Do you know what I mean?
4520But my God-- what do you think of it? ” “ Seems pretty mean, ” said Aaron.
4520But my LIFE seems alone, for some reason-- ” “ Have n''t you got relations? ” he said.
4520But then what does a white mouse like that need?
4520But there''s nothing doing for me in France.--When do you go back into the country, both of you? ” “ Friday, ” said Lilly.
4520But they hardly count over here. ” “ Why do n''t you get married? ” he said.
4520But was he HURT--? ” “ I do n''t know.
4520But what could be better?
4520But what did you FEEL about it, privately? ” “ I did n''t feel much.
4520But what do you call the common good? ” replied the little doctor, with childish pertinence.
4520But what if you have n''t got much education, to speak of? ” “ You can always get it, ” she said patronizing.
4520But what is that for a life? ” cried the Marchese, with a hollow mockery.
4520But what is the something? ” “ I do n''t know.
4520But what was it you played? ” Aaron told him.
4520But what was the good?
4520But where ELSE?
4520But where is it, when it comes to?
4520But whether to go and live with him?
4520But why console him?
4520But why, why?
4520But why?
4520But will you try? ” “ Yes, I''ll try. ” “ Manfredi is just bringing the cocktails.
4520But you and Tanny; why, there''s the world, and there''s Lilly: that''s how I put it, my boy. ” “ All right, Argyle.--Hoflichkeiten. ” “ What?
4520Ca n''t stand that fellow, can you?
4520Ca n''t you pull yourself together? ” But Aaron only became more gloomily withheld, retracting from life.
4520Ca n''t you rouse him up? ” “ I think it depresses him partly that his bowels wo n''t work.
4520Can I have it with soda?
4520Can the heart ever beat quite alone?
4520Can you find it satisfactory? ” “ Is it even true? ” said the Major.
4520Can you find it satisfactory? ” “ Is it even true? ” said the Major.
4520Can you help me out, Mr. Sisson?
4520Chi sono chi vengono?
4520Chi?''
4520Chianti?
4520Coffee will no doubt be served. ” “ Will you take my arm, Sir? ” said the well- nourished Arthur.
4520Come at half- past six, as today, will you?
4520Could any race be anything but despicable, with such an antecedent?
4520Could he have expected so much, in one life- time?
4520Damn them all, why do n''t I leave them alone?
4520Did he know many people?
4520Did he need consolation?
4520Did he scorn fortunes and fortune- making?
4520Did he want to be Anthony to Cleopatra?
4520Did n''t we hear that Lilly was in Germany? ” “ Yes, in Munich, being psychoanalysed, I believe it was. ” Aaron looked rather blank.
4520Did you ever see anything like it? ” “ No.
4520Do I speak the truth? ” “ Yes.
4520Do n''t break it, will you? ” Marjory was shaking the bell against her ear.
4520Do n''t you agree, Aaron?
4520Do n''t you find it rather hot? ” “ Is there another bottle of beer there? ” said Jim, without moving, too settled even to stir an eye- lid.
4520Do n''t you find it rather hot? ” “ Is there another bottle of beer there? ” said Jim, without moving, too settled even to stir an eye- lid.
4520Do n''t you hate them? ” “ I do n''t like them.
4520Do n''t you know? ” “ No, ” said Aaron.
4520Do n''t you remember?
4520Do n''t you think it all works out rather stupid and unsatisfying? ” “ Ah, but a civil war would be different.
4520Do n''t you think so? ” “ Oh, quite, ” said Angus, whose observations had got no further than the black cloth of the back of Aaron''s jacket.
4520Do n''t you think that is very probable? ” “ I have no idea, ” said Aaron.
4520Do n''t you think we might hear him again?
4520Do n''t you try to earn all you can? ” “ Ay, ” said Aaron.
4520Do n''t you?
4520Do they want him? ” A faint smile came on her husband''s face.
4520Do you believe it--? ” “ Yes, ” said Levison unwillingly.
4520Do you feel the same? ” “ No, not that way, worse luck.
4520Do you hear me? ” “ Miss Smitham''s coming in.
4520Do you know what I mean? ” “ I do n''t know, ” said Aaron.
4520Do you know what Josephine Ford confessed to me?
4520Do you know, I think that''s the very best drink in the tropics: sweet white wine, with soda?
4520Do you like being in the country? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron.
4520Do you mean us in this box, or the crew outside there? ” he jerked his head towards the auditorium.
4520Do you mind that I call you Aaron? ” “ Not at all.
4520Do you take this as my gospel? ” “ I take it you are speaking seriously. ” Here Lilly broke into that peculiar, gay, whimsical smile.
4520Do you think a cuckoo in Africa and a cuckoo in Essex is one AND the same bird?
4520Do you think it would hurt Robert? ” She screwed up her eyes, looking at Tanny.
4520Do you think you''d prefer orange in yours? ” “ Ill have mine as you have yours. ” “ I do n''t take orange in mine.
4520Do you understand me at all in what I say?
4520Do you want a God you can strive to and attain, through love, and live happy ever after, countless millions of eternities, immortality and all that?
4520Do you want to know anybody here, or do n''t you?
4520Do you? ” replied Julia.
4520Do-- and try me. ” “ And you will tell me what you feel? ” “ Yes. ” Aaron went out to his overcoat.
4520Does it? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron briefly.
4520Eh?
4520Eh?
4520Eh? ” asked Jim.
4520Else perhaps, where should I be?
4520English moneys, eh?
4520Enlighten us. ” “ Nowhere, I suppose. ” “ But is that satisfactory?
4520Enough light will come in from here. ” “ Sure? ” said Manfredi.
4520Every time. ” “ Then what''s to be done? ” “ Nothing, as far as I can see.
4520Except that-- ” “ You do n''t care about anything?
4520Fancy yourself snug in bed, do n''t you?
4520Get up now, we''re going indoors. ” “ What do you reckon stars are? ” he persisted.
4520Goodbye! ” “ You''ll come to Rackham? ” said Jim, leaning out of the train.
4520Had he not gained it?
4520Half past eight? ” “ Thank you very much. ” “ Then at half past eight the man will bring it in.
4520Has a wild creature ever absolute trust?
4520Has your experience been different, or the same? ” “ What was yours? ” asked Lilly.
4520Has your experience been different, or the same? ” “ What was yours? ” asked Lilly.
4520Have another cushion?
4520Have n''t I loved you for twelve years, and worked and slaved for you and tried to keep you right?
4520Have n''t I loved you?
4520Have n''t I, Juley? ” “ Yes, ” said Julia, vaguely and wispily.
4520Have you drunk your tea?
4520Have you found it like that?
4520Have you got a divine urge, or need? ” “ How do I know? ” laughed Aaron.
4520Have you got a divine urge, or need? ” “ How do I know? ” laughed Aaron.
4520Have you some engagement in Venice? ” “ No, ” said Aaron.
4520He made out that the woman was asking him for his name--“Meester--?
4520He wanted to say “ Friday then? ” “ Yes, I''d rather you went Thursday, ” repeated Lilly.
4520He was breaking loose from one connection after another; and what for?
4520Her own soul will wish to yield itself. ” “ Woman yield--? ” Aaron re- echoed.
4520How can he be so alone? ” said the Marchese.
4520How had he got his job?
4520How is it to be? ” “ I do n''t vitally care either about money or my work or-- ” Lilly faltered.
4520How is the cocktail, Nan? ” “ Yes, ” she said.
4520How old are you? ” “ Thirty- three. ” “ You might almost be any age.--I do n''t know why I do n''t get married.
4520How old? ” “ Oldest eight-- youngest nine months-- ” “ So small! ” sang Julia, with real tenderness now-- Aaron dropped his head.
4520How should they?
4520I am not to be badgered any more. ” “ Am I badgering you? ” said Aaron.
4520I believe you''ve got the flu. ” “ Think I have? ” said Aaron frightened.
4520I could kill him for it. ” “ Were you ever happy together? ” “ We were all right at first.
4520I do n''t know. ” “ Too emotional?
4520I enjoyed Beecham''s operas so much. ” “ Which do you like best? ” said Aaron.
4520I feel I''ve come out of myself. ” “ Yes, it is a wonderful sight-- a wonderful sight-- But you have not been INTO the town? ” “ Yes.
4520I feel that I myself have a special kind of fate, that will always look after me. ” “ And you can trust to it? ” “ Yes, I can.
4520I felt myself go-- as if the bile broke inside me, and I was sick. ” “ Josephine seduced you? ” laughed Lilly.
4520I have not been able to get over it all day. ” “ What was it? ” said Aaron.
4520I hope you do n''t object to our catechism? ” “ No.
4520I know she is not happy, I know I am not-- ” “ Why should you be? ” said Lilly.
4520I know you do n''t believe it. ” “ What do I believe then? ” said Lilly.
4520I left her as I shall leave the earth when I die-- because it has to be. ” “ Do you know what I think it is, Mr. Sisson? ” put in Lady Franks.
4520I like her so much. ” “ And him? ” “ Mr.
4520I like the WE, do n''t you?
4520I loathe the slimy creepy personal intimacy.--''Don''t you think, Mr. Bricknell, that it''s lovely to be able to talk quite simply to somebody?
4520I mean does it interest you? ” “ What-- the flute? ” “ No-- music altogether-- ” “ Music altogether--!
4520I mean does it interest you? ” “ What-- the flute? ” “ No-- music altogether-- ” “ Music altogether--!
4520I mean, does something drive you from inside? ” “ I ca n''t just rest, ” said Aaron.
4520I never expected the mountains. ” “ You never expected the mountains?
4520I only want to be left alone. ” “ Not to have anything to do with anybody? ” she queried ironically.
4520I say, wo n''t you play for us one of these Saturdays?
4520I should have been all right if I had n''t given in to her-- ” “ To whom? ” said Lilly.
4520I think it does not. ” “ And will it ever again? ” “ Perhaps never. ” “ And then what? ” “ Then?
4520I think it does not. ” “ And will it ever again? ” “ Perhaps never. ” “ And then what? ” “ Then?
4520I think it does not. ” “ And will it ever again? ” “ Perhaps never. ” “ And then what? ” “ Then?
4520I thought I''d better come and see, so that we can fetch you at lunch time.--You''ve got a seat?
4520I told you there were two urges-- two great life- urges, did n''t I?
4520I want to get a new tune out of myself. ” “ Had enough of this? ” “ Yes. ” A flush of anger came on Aaron''s face.
4520I want to walk past most of it. ” “ Can you tell us where to?
4520I went away. ” “ What from? ” “ From it all. ” “ From the woman in particular? ” “ Oh, yes.
4520I went away. ” “ What from? ” “ From it all. ” “ From the woman in particular? ” “ Oh, yes.
4520I will read it out to you later. ” “ Are n''t you satisfied?
4520I''d be ashamed if I were you. ” “ Would you? ” said Jim.
4520I''m a shady bird, in all senses of the word, in all senses of the word.--Now are you comfortable?
4520I''m dying. ” “ What of?
4520I''m not sure. ” “ You do n''t look forward to the Saturday mornings? ” he asked.
4520I''m thankful we have none. ” “ Why? ” “ I ca n''t quite say.
4520I''ve got TWO aunts called Tabitha: if not more. ” “ They are n''t of any vital importance to you, are they? ” said Levison.
4520I, too, shall have to learn to play it. ” “ And run the risk of spoiling the shape of your mouth-- like Alcibiades. ” “ Is there a risk?
4520I--? ” she exclaimed.
4520IS he? ” sang Julia.
4520If you do n''t breathe in, you suffocate. ” “ What about breathing out? ” said Robert.
4520In God''s name, why?
4520In the morning he must move: where?
4520Incredibly old, like little boys who know too much-- aren''t they?
4520Is he in love with her?
4520Is it a God you''re after?
4520Is it that you want to love, or to be obeyed? ” “ A bit of both. ” “ All right-- a bit of both.
4520Is it the love urge? ” “ I do n''t know, ” said Aaron.
4520Is my life given me for nothing but to get children, and work to bring them up?
4520Is n''t it awfully unkind to them? ” She rose in her eagerness.
4520Is n''t it his duty to do what he can for himself?
4520Is n''t it so, Sybil? ” “ Yes, I think so, ” said Sybil.
4520Is n''t it strange?
4520Is n''t it wonderful? ” said Lady Franks.
4520Is n''t the result the same? ” “ It matters.
4520Is that all right?--Yes, come just before twelve.--When?--Tomorrow?
4520Is that the nature of love? ” said Lilly.
4520Is that your intention? ” “ That I could n''t say, ” said the Marchesa, smoking, smoking.
4520Is there any harm in it?
4520Is there anything I could get you?
4520Is this your little dodge? ” Again Aaron looked at Lilly with that odd double look of mockery and unwillingness to give himself away.
4520It came naturally, though.--But why did you come, Aaron?
4520It is such fine music. ” “ I find_ Ivan_ artificial. ” “ Do you?
4520It makes me feel so sick. ” “ What-- do you want discords?--dissonances? ” “ No-- they are nearly as bad.
4520It''ll just go on and on-- Does n''t it make you feel you''d go mad? ” He looked at her and shook his head.
4520It''s all much too new and complicated for me.--But perhaps you know Italy? ” “ No, I do n''t, ” said Aaron.
4520It''s no good her foisting her rights on to me. ” “ Is n''t that pure selfishness? ” “ It may be.
4520It''s what does n''t go down. ” “ And how much is that? ” she asked, eying him.
4520Lack of life? ” “ That''s about it, my young cock.
4520League of Nations? ” “ Damn all leagues.
4520Let them die of the bee- disease. ” “ Not only that, ” persisted Levison, “ but what is your alternative?
4520Like to see the ball kept rolling. ” “ What have you been doing lately? ” “ Been staying a few days with my wife. ” “ No, really!
4520Lilly has gone away? ” said Aaron.
4520Lungs are all right so far. ” “ How long shall I have to be in bed? ” said Aaron.
4520Major, where are you wandering off to?
4520Manfredi lives for it, almost. ” “ For that and nothing else? ” asked Aaron.
4520Marriage is a self- conscious egoistic state, it seems to me. ” “ You''ve got no children? ” said Aaron.
4520May we ask what you bought? ” This he did not like.
4520May we ask you another question, Mr. Sisson?
4520May we hear you some time? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron, non- committal.
4520May we look at it? ” Josephine now turned the handle of the French windows, and stepped out.
4520Meester--? ” she kept saying, with a note of interrogation.
4520Miserable tea, but nobody has sent me any from England-- ” “ And you will go on till you die, Argyle? ” said Lilly.
4520Mr. Lilly? ” he asked.
4520Much best make rather a favour of it, than sort of ask them to hire you.--Don''t you agree?
4520Music risky?
4520My mother left me a bit over a thousand when she died. ” “ You do n''t mind what I say, do you? ” said Josephine.
4520My wife''s gone to Norway. ” “ For good? ” “ No, ” laughed Lilly.
4520No-- well, then-- would you like a bath now, or--? ” It was evident the Franks had dispensed much hospitality: much of it charitable.
4520Not by ANY means. ” “ Are you not seeking any more, Lilly? ” asked the Marchese.
4520Not good moneys? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron, rather indignantly.
4520Not he, otherwise whence this homage for the old man with much money?
4520Not later than Thursday. ” “ You''re looking forward to going? ” The question was half bitter.
4520Nothing beyond this hell-- only death or love-- languishing-- ” “ What could they have seen, anyhow? ” said Aaron.
4520Now we try to speak of that which we have in our centre of our hearts. ” “ And what have we there? ” said Lilly.
4520Now, in life, there are only two great dynamic urges-- do you believe me--? ” “ How do I know? ” laughed Aaron.
4520Now, in life, there are only two great dynamic urges-- do you believe me--? ” “ How do I know? ” laughed Aaron.
4520Of me and your children?
4520Of soul?
4520Oh, God''s love, are n''t we fools! ” “ No-- why? ” cried Josephine, amused but resentful.
4520Oh, ROBBIE, is n''t it all right, is n''t it just all right? ” She tailed off into her hurried, wild, repeated laugh.
4520Oh, have n''t I?
4520Oh, yes-- quite at home. ” “ Do you like it as well as anywhere? ” he asked.
4520Oh-- er-- how''s your wife?
4520On what grounds?
4520Once outside the door, the husband asked: “ How shall we go home, dear?
4520One can never be SURE of Providence. ” “ What can you be sure of, then? ” said Aaron.
4520One franc? ” asked the driver.
4520Only when it came he would n''t be there. ” “ Would you? ” “ Yes, indeed I would.
4520Only while it stands I do want central heating and a good cook. ” “ May I come to dinner? ” said Jim.
4520Or do you give the centre of your spirit to your work?
4520Or perhaps you''d like to go home?
4520Or was her fear only a delightful game of cat and mouse?
4520Or was the fear genuine, and the delight the greater: a sort of sacrilege?
4520Or white wine?
4520Other things as well. ” “ But you do n''t like it much any more? ” “ I do n''t know.
4520Paradisal enough for you, is it? ” “ The devil looking over Lincoln, ” said Lilly laughing, glancing up into Argyle''s face.
4520Paris for the most part. ” “ Never America? ” “ No, never America.
4520Plop!--Can the heart beat quite alone, alone in all the atmosphere, all the space of the universe?
4520Plop!--Quite alone in all the space? ” A slow smile came over the Italian''s face.
4520Poor old Algy.--Did I lay it on him tonight, or did I miss him? ” “ I think you got him, ” said Aaron.
4520Pray, why not?
4520Rivets, and we ca n''t get them out. ” “ And where should we be if we could? ” said Aaron.
4520Self, self, self-- that''s all it is with them-- and ignorance. ” “ You''d rather have self without ignorance? ” he said, smiling finely.
4520Shall YOU be any different in yourself, in another place?
4520Shall we leave it at that, now? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron.
4520Shall we? ” She rose from the table.
4520Shall you? ” “ Candles! ” he repeated, putting the piccolo to his mouth and blowing a few piercing, preparatory notes.
4520She the woman, the mother of his children, how should she ever even think to yield?
4520She''s made up her mind she loves me, and she''s not going to let me off. ” “ Did you never love her? ” said Josephine.
4520Sir William Franks?
4520Six- pence a box. ” “ Got any holders? ” “ Holders?
4520Six- pence a box. ” “ Got any holders? ” “ Holders?
4520So what''s the good of talking about advantages?
4520So you found our city impressive? ” “ Very!
4520So you hope to earn your keep here?
4520Tanny and I have been very much alone in various countries: but that''s two, not one. ” “ You miss her then? ” “ Yes, of course.
4520Thank goodness my experience of a man has been different. ” “ We ca n''t all be alike, can we?
4520That is a great pleasure. ” “ So I think.--Does your wife like it, too? ” “ Very much, indeed!
4520That is n''t saying he''s a fool, neither. ” “ And what better is them that''s got education? ” put in another man.
4520That''s a day to live for, what? ” “ Ha!
4520That''s what I should have been if I had had my way. ” “ What instrument? ” asked Aaron.
4520The Germans were false, we were false, everybody was false. ” “ And not you? ” asked Aaron shrewishly.
4520The deaf Jewish Rosen was smiling down his nose and saying: “ What was that last?
4520The piano? ” “ Yes-- the pianoforte.
4520The spirit may move him in quite an opposite direction to the market-- then where is Lilly?
4520Then he said smiling: “ So I''d better sit tight on my soul, till it hatches, had I? ” “ Oh, yes.
4520Then he said to Aaron: “ Were you coming to see me, Sisson?
4520They are very exclusive still, the Venetian_ noblesse_? ” said Miss Wade.
4520They ought to have allowed us six times the quantity-- there''s plenty of sugar, why did n''t they?
4520They were Guelfs, why not remain it?
4520They''ll do a lot of cavilling. ” “ But wo n''t they ACT? ” cried Josephine.
4520Tomorrow morning?
4520Too much feeling for you? ” “ Yes, perhaps.
4520Towards Rome? ” “ I came to meet Lilly, ” said Aaron.
4520Tram or carriage--? ” It was evident he was economical.
4520Wahrhaftiger Kerl bin ich.--When am I going to see Tanny?
4520Was he going to agree?
4520Was it because he was one of her own race, and she, as it were, crept right home to him?
4520Was it illusion, or was it genuine?
4520Was n''t it extraordinary?
4520Was not hers the divine will and the divine right?
4520Was there?
4520We are dilettanti, I suppose. ” “ No-- what is your instrument?
4520We looked at most, I believe. ” “ And what do you remember best? ” “ I remember Botticelli''s Venus on the Shell. ” “ Yes!
4520We''ll be like this again? ” she whispered.
4520We''re all as right as ninepence-- what?
4520We''re all right, are n''t we? ” he said loudly, turning to the stranger with a grin that showed his pointed teeth.
4520We''re the only sober couple in the bunch-- what? ” cried Jim.
4520We''ve got to accept the power motive, accept it in deep responsibility, do you understand me?
4520Well now, and what next?
4520Well now, it''ll be all right if I come up for a minute?
4520Well, how are you?
4520Well, then, what next?
4520Well, well, might do worse.--Is it all right? ” Lilly eyed the suit.
4520Well-- shall we join the ladies?
4520What a nice name! ” “ No better than yours, is it? ” “ Mine!
4520What about him?
4520What are you thinking? ” “ Nothing.
4520What did he clutch the castle- keys so tight for?
4520What did they see when they looked at him?
4520What did you say the address was?
4520What did you say? ” said Francis, leaning forward.
4520What difference did it make, anyhow?
4520What do you care whether you see anybody again or not?
4520What do you make of this this- or- nothing business?
4520What do you say to whiskey and soda, Colonel? ” “ Why, delighted, Sir William, ” said the Colonel, bouncing up.
4520What do you say, Major? ” “ She has all the airs of one, Sir William, ” said the Major, with the wistful grimness of his age and culture.
4520What do you think of him? ” “ He seems sharp, ” said Aaron.
4520What do you want to poke yourself and prod yourself into love, for? ” “ Because I''m DEAD without it.
4520What do you want with more than one master?
4520What do you want? ” “ Why, I keep saying I want to get married and feel sure of something.
4520What does any man?
4520What does he scheme for?--What does he contrive for?
4520What else do you give?
4520What else is there to it? ” Aaron sounded testy.
4520What exactly brought you? ” “ Accident, ” said Aaron.
4520What have n''t they to fight for? ” cried Josephine fiercely.
4520What have you come for? ” “ To look at YOU, ” he said sarcastically.
4520What if I do?
4520What is TO CHEAP? ” “ Cheep!
4520What is it a woman who allows me, and who has no answer?
4520What is it? ” “ To make more money for the firm-- and so make his own chance of a rise better. ” The landlady was baffled for some moments.
4520What is there to care about? ” said the Colonel.
4520What liqueurs have you got? ” demanded Angus abruptly.
4520What makes a child be born out of its mother to the pain and trouble of both of them?
4520What pictures did you look at? ” “ I was with Dekker.
4520What should he do?
4520What should you say, Jimmy? ” she turned to one of the men.
4520What sort of urge is your urge?
4520What time is it, Manfredi? ” “ Half past six.
4520What was it in her face that puzzled him?
4520What was it?
4520What was she going to ask of him?
4520What was there in the female will so diabolical, he asked himself, that it could press like a flat sheet of iron against a man all the time?
4520What was there instead?
4520What were the shots? ” Aaron asked him.
4520What will this beauty be? ” With finicky fingers she removed the newspaper.
4520What would the world be like if everybody lived that way? ” “ Other people can please themselves, ” said Aaron.
4520What''s a soul, to them--? ” “ What is it to you, is perhaps the more pertinent question, ” said Algy, flapping his eyelids like some crazy owl.
4520What''s his education for?
4520What''s the good of running after life, when we''ve got it in us, if nobody prevents us and obstructs us? ” Aaron felt very queer.
4520What''s the objection? ” asked Struthers.
4520What''s this?--What''s this?
4520What''s your drink? ” “ Mine-- whiskey, ” said Aaron.
4520What?
4520What?
4520What?
4520What?
4520What? ” “ Yes, I think he''s rather nice, ” said Tanny.
4520What_ did_ she mean?
4520Whe''to?
4520When are you coming to dine with me? ” “ After you''ve dined with us-- say the day after tomorrow. ” “ Right you are.
4520When shall we make it? ” he asked.
4520When they had gone, he asked: “ Where is Manfredi? ” “ He will come in soon.
4520When will they learn wisdom? ” “ But what do you call wisdom? ” asked Sherardy, the Hindu.
4520When will they learn wisdom? ” “ But what do you call wisdom? ” asked Sherardy, the Hindu.
4520Where are you going? ” “ Malta. ” “ Malta!
4520Where d''you want to go? ” he heard the hearty tones of the policeman.
4520Where did he live?
4520Where should we be without it? ” Lilly started, went stiff and hostile.
4520Where would their money be otherwise?
4520Where you go?
4520Where''s that--? ” “ Oh, it''s on the map. ” There was a little lull.
4520Where? ” cried Julia.
4520Who have you got sitting up with her?
4520Who was she, what was she?
4520Who? ” they cried.
4520Why break every tie?
4520Why ca n''t they submit to a bit of healthy individual authority?
4520Why ca n''t you gather yourself there? ” “ At the tail? ” “ Yes.
4520Why ca n''t you gather yourself there? ” “ At the tail? ” “ Yes.
4520Why do n''t you be more like the Japanese you talk about?
4520Why do you ask? ” “ I was n''t thinking. ” “ But what do you mean?
4520Why do you ask? ” “ I was n''t thinking. ” “ But what do you mean?
4520Why do you want so badly to be loved? ” “ Because I like it, damn you, ” barked Jim.
4520Why give yourself away, anyhow?
4520Why go forward into more nothingness, away from all that he knew, all he was accustomed to and all he belonged to?
4520Why has n''t this man been taken to the Clearing Station?''
4520Why have you come back to me?
4520Why is it, do you think, that English people abroad go so very QUEER-- so ultra- English-- INCREDIBLE!--and at the same time so perfectly impossible?
4520Why is it? ” “ Shall I say what I think?
4520Why is it? ” “ Shall I say what I think?
4520Why not come with us to Florence? ” said Francis.
4520Why not flower again?
4520Why not remain an infant? ” “ Be damned and blasted to women and all their importances, ” cried Aaron.
4520Why not try and love somebody? ” Jim eyed her narrowly.
4520Why not?
4520Why not?
4520Why not? ” “ If it''s going to, it will, ” said Aaron.
4520Why should I know? ” “ But we must know: especially when other people will be hurt, ” said she.
4520Why should I?
4520Why should I?
4520Why should it?
4520Why should n''t he want to move?
4520Why should you hesitate? ” “ All right, then, ” said Aaron, not without some feeling of constraint.
4520Why were their haunches so prominent?
4520Why when we were in London-- when we were at lunch one morning it suddenly struck me, have n''t I left my fur cloak somewhere?
4520Why, is he in Venice?
4520Why, ten francs a day, you know, pension-- if you stay-- How long will you stay? ” “ At least a month, I expect. ” “ A month!
4520Why?
4520Why?
4520Why?
4520Why?
4520Why? ” They stepped down in the darkness from their perch.
4520Why? ” “ Looking at them even.
4520Why? ” “ You seem to. ” “ Do I?
4520Why? ” “ You seem to. ” “ Do I?
4520Will he never heed?
4520Will he never understand? ” he thought.
4520Will that suit you?
4520Will you come tomorrow? ” Aaron said he would on Monday.
4520Will you do it for us now, and let us see what it is like?''
4520Will you play? ” “ I should love to, ” replied the husband.
4520Will you sit? ” “ Can I have a room? ” said Aaron.
4520Will you sit? ” “ Can I have a room? ” said Aaron.
4520Will you smoke?
4520Will you? ” “ I thought you hated accompaniments. ” “ Oh, no-- not just unison.
4520Wine?
4520Wo n''t they be awfully bothered?
4520Wo n''t they fight for that? ” Aaron sat smiling, slowly shaking his head.
4520Wo n''t you give us hope that it might be so? ” “ I''ve no idea, either, ” said she.
4520Wo n''t you smoke? ” The strange, naked, remote- seeming voice!
4520Wonderful person, to be able to do it. ” “ Where has he gone? ” said Aaron.
4520Would you have us make money?
4520Would you like to play for us some time, do you think? ” “ Do you want me to?
4520Would you like to play for us some time, do you think? ” “ Do you want me to?
4520Would you? ” Aaron lay still, and did not answer.
4520Yes, ten francs a day. ” “ For everything? ” “ Everything.
4520Yes, that. ” “ And you could n''t go back? ” Aaron shook his head.
4520Yes, you can. ” “ What terms? ” “ Terms!
4520Yes-- well!-- Well-- now, why are you going away? ” “ For a change, ” said Lilly.
4520Yes-- what did he believe in, besides money?
4520Yes?
4520Yes? ” Aaron promised-- and then he found himself in the street.
4520Yes? ” said the doctor.
4520Yet I find_ Kovantchina_, which is all mass music practically, gives me more satisfaction than any other opera. ” “ Do you really?
4520Yet what could be more conspicuous than this elegant pair, picking their way through the cabbage- leaves?
4520You are?
4520You ca n''t really be alone. ” “ No matter how many mistakes you''ve made-- you ca n''t really be alone--? ” asked Lilly.
4520You come straight from England? ” Sir William held out his hand courteously and benevolently, smiling an old man''s smile of hospitality.
4520You do n''t want me to say things, do you? ” he said.
4520You know that you have got an urge, do n''t you? ” “ Yes-- ” rather unwillingly Aaron admitted it.
4520You talk, and you make a man believe you''ve got something he has n''t got?
4520You thought her a pretty woman, yes? ” “ No-- not particularly pretty.
4520You wo n''t believe you''re right in the way of traffic, will you now, in Covent Garden Market?
4520You wo n''t go down?
4520You yourself have no definite goal? ” “ No. ” “ Ah!
4520You''d find it rather domestic. ” “ Where do you live? ” “ Rather far out now-- Amersham. ” “ Amersham?
4520You''d find it rather domestic. ” “ Where do you live? ” “ Rather far out now-- Amersham. ” “ Amersham?
4520You''d like a wash? ” But Jim had already opened his bag, taken off his coat, and put on an old one.
4520You''ll be the same there as you are here. ” “ How am I here? ” “ Why, you''re all the time grinding yourself against something inside you.
4520You''ll come in, wo n''t you? ” Aaron nodded rather stupidly and testily.
4520You''re a comic. ” “ Am I though? ” said Jim.
4520You''re a married man, are n''t you? ” The sardonic look of the stranger rested on the subaltern.
4520You''re awfully lucky, you know, to be able to pour yourself down your flute. ” “ You think I go down easy? ” he laughed.
4520You''re quite sure now?
4520You''ve got a love- urge that urges you to God; have you?
4520You''ve got a permanent job? ” asked Josephine.
4520_ Egoisme a deux_-- ” “ What''s that mean? ” “_ Egoisme a deux_?
4520_ Egoisme a deux_-- ” “ What''s that mean? ” “_ Egoisme a deux_?
4520_ Siamo nel paradiso_, remember. ” “ But why should we drink your whiskey?
4520“ A little Bovril? ” The same faint shake.
4520“ A man ca n''t live, ” said the Italian, “ without an object. ” “ Well-- and that object? ” said Lilly.
4520“ A whiskey and soda, Lilly?
4520“ Act? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Ah, my dear fellow, are you still so young and callow that you cherish the illusion of fair play? ” said Argyle.
4520“ All right, I think. ” “ But you''ve been back to them? ” cried Josephine in dismay.
4520“ Always seeking a friend-- and always a new one? ” “ If I lose the friend I''ve got.
4520“ Am I? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Am I? ” she smiled.
4520“ And I''ll come to you.--Shall I come in fifteen minutes? ” She looked at him with strange, slow dark eyes.
4520“ And can you find two men to stick together, without feeling criminal, and without cringing, and without betraying one another?
4520“ And do you send her money? ” she asked.
4520“ And me? ” “ You''ll have to live without a rod, meanwhile. ” To which pleasant remark Aaron made no reply.
4520“ And never finding? ” said Lilly, laughing.
4520“ And so the war hardly affected you?
4520“ And so, Mr. Sisson, you have no definite purpose in coming to Italy? ” “ No, none, ” said Aaron.
4520“ And stay how long? ” “ Oh-- as long as it lasts, ” said Robert again.
4520“ And then what? ” “ Nay, ” interrupted Aaron.
4520“ And what are they going to do about Job Arthur Freer?
4520“ And what are you going to do in Florence? ” asked Argyle.
4520“ And what good will Malta do you? ” he asked, envious.
4520“ And what''s your way out? ” Aaron asked him.
4520“ And where are you bound, Mr. Sisson?
4520“ And where? ” Again she was silent for some moments, as if struggling with herself.
4520“ And who SHOULD have the money, indeed, if not your wives?
4520“ And who knows what you''ve been doing all these months? ” she wept.
4520“ And whom shall I submit to? ” he said.
4520“ And will you sing? ” he answered.
4520“ And yours, Lilly? ” asked the Marchese anxiously.
4520“ Anyhow, ” he said at length, “ you''ll come, wo n''t you?
4520“ Anything you wanted? ” repeated Robert, military, rather peremptory.
4520“ Are n''t we perfectly satisfied and in bliss with the wonderful women who honour us as wives? ” “ Ah, yes, yes! ” said the Marchese.
4520“ Are we to let t''other side run off wi''th''bone, then, while we sit on our stunts an''yowl for it? ” asked Brewitt.
4520“ Are you a miner? ” Robert asked,_ de haute en bas_.
4520“ Are you a socialist? ” asked Levison.
4520“ Are you going out, Father? ” she said.
4520“ Are you here by yourself? ” asked the sick man.
4520“ Are you? ” persisted the child, balancing on one foot.
4520“ Ay, an''what''s the purpose of his life? ” insisted Aaron Sisson.
4520“ Ay, what? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Being yourself-- what does it mean? ” “ To me, everything. ” “ And to most folks, nothing.
4520“ Beldover? ” inquired Robert.
4520“ Besides, Aaron, ” said Lilly, drinking his last sip of wine, “ what do you care whether you see me again or not?
4520“ But DO you want to be with Scott, out and out, or DON''T you? ” said Lilly.
4520“ But I do n''t know why you talk about him. ” “ Is he inexperienced, Josephine dear?
4520“ But I''m not personal at all, am I, Mr. Bricknell? ” said Tanny.
4520“ But ca n''t there be a balancing of wills? ” said Lilly.
4520“ But do you think I might--? ” said Francis moodily.
4520“ But do you think it''s true what he says?
4520“ But does it matter? ” said Lilly slowly, “ in which of you the desire initiates?
4520“ But does it matter? ” said Lilly slowly, “ in which of you the desire initiates?
4520“ But for how long will you settle down--? ” he asked.
4520“ But have you anything to take you to Venice?
4520“ But how can I live in Italy? ” he said.
4520“ But is n''t it? ” she persisted.
4520“ But people always turn up. ” “ And then next year, what will you do? ” “ Who knows?
4520“ But people always turn up. ” “ And then next year, what will you do? ” “ Who knows?
4520“ But that''s not really how you take it? ” she said.
4520“ But was n''t it an extraordinary affair? ” “ Very, ” said Aaron.
4520“ But we can be friends, ca n''t we? ” he said.
4520“ But what can have brought you to such a disastrous decision? ” “ I ca n''t say, ” she replied, with a little laugh.
4520“ But what difference does it make, ” said Aaron Sisson, “ whether they govern themselves or not?
4520“ But what do you really think will happen to the world? ” Lilly asked Jim, amid much talk.
4520“ But what''s the good of going to Malta?
4520“ But where is YOUR SEAT? ” cried Francis, peering into the packed and jammed compartments of the third class.
4520“ But why ca n''t man accept it as the natural order of things? ” said Lilly.
4520“ But why not?
4520“ But why should it?
4520“ But why?
4520“ But why?
4520“ But why? ” said Josephine.
4520“ But wo n''t you come and have coffee with us at our table? ” said Francis.
4520“ But you do n''t want to get away from EVERYTHING, do you?
4520“ But you must earn money, must n''t you? ” said she.
4520“ But you''ll let us do that again, wo n''t you? ” said she.
4520“ But you''re going home to them, are n''t you? ” said Josephine, in whose eyes the tears had already risen.
4520“ But, Josephine, ” said Robert, “ do n''t you think we''ve had enough of that sort of thing in the war?
4520“ Ca n''t you break it? ” “ Yes, if you hit it with a hammer, ” he said.
4520“ Ca n''t you rouse his spirit?
4520“ Ca n''t you settle down to something?--to a job, for instance? ” “ I''ve not found the job I could settle down to, yet, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Can I come up and have a chat? ” “ I''ve got that man who''s had flu.
4520“ Can I have a room? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Christmas- tree candles, and toffee. ” “ For the little children?
4520“ Cigarette, Julia? ” said Robert to his wife.
4520“ DO you agree, Mr. Sisson? ” said the Marchesa.
4520“ Did YOU leave the parlour door open? ” she asked of Millicent, suspiciously.
4520“ Did you ever intend to marry Jim Bricknell? ” he asked.
4520“ Did you ever keep count? ” Tanny persisted.
4520“ Did you indeed?
4520“ Did you see the row yesterday? ” asked Levison.
4520“ Did you want anything? ” Robert enquired once more.
4520“ Did you want anything? ” asked Robert, from behind the light.
4520“ Do n''t I?
4520“ Do n''t you agree? ” He turned wolfishly to Clariss.
4520“ Do they?--Don''t you think it''s nice of them? ” she said, gently removing her hand from his.
4520“ Do you believe in them less than I do, Aaron? ” he asked slowly.
4520“ Do you feel ill, Sisson? ” he said sharply.
4520“ Do you feel quite well? ” Josephine asked him.
4520“ Do you find it a tight squeeze, then? ” she said, turning to Aaron once more.
4520“ Do you find it so? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Do you find this room very cold? ” she asked of Aaron.
4520“ Do you hate the normal British as much as I do? ” she asked him.
4520“ Do you know how vilely you''ve treated me? ” she said, staring across the space at him.
4520“ Do you love playing? ” she asked him.
4520“ Do you mean that, Aaron? ” he said, looking into Aaron''s face with a hard, inflexible look.
4520“ Do you mean to say you do n''t MEAN what you''ve been saying? ” said Levison, now really looking angry.
4520“ Do you recognise anyone in the orchestra? ” she asked.
4520“ Do you see anybody we know, Josephine? ” she asked.
4520“ Do you see signs of the old maid coming out in me?
4520“ Do you seek nothing? ” “ We married men who have n''t left our wives, are we supposed to seek anything? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Do you seek nothing? ” “ We married men who have n''t left our wives, are we supposed to seek anything? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Do you think so, my dear? ” said the old man, with his eternal smile: the curious smile of old people when they are dead.
4520“ Do you think so? ” he answered.
4520“ Do you think you''re wise now, ” he said, “ to sit in that sun? ” “ In November? ” laughed Lilly.
4520“ Do you think you''re wise now, ” he said, “ to sit in that sun? ” “ In November? ” laughed Lilly.
4520“ Do you think, Lilly, that we''re the world? ” said Robert ironically.
4520“ Do you want to be believed? ” “ No, I do n''t care a straw.
4520“ Do you, Aaron? ” “ I do n''t WANT to, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Do you? ” said Lady Franks.
4520“ Does a man care? ” “ He might. ” “ Then he''s no man. ” “ Thanks again, old fellow. ” “ Welcome, ” said Lilly, grimacing.
4520“ Does he seek another woman? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Does it? ” asked Lilly of the Marchese.
4520“ Does n''t SHE love you? ” said Aaron to Jim amused, indicating Josephine.
4520“ Does n''t it go more here? ” “ No no, no no, not at all.
4520“ Eh--? ” and Jim stooped, grinning at the smaller man.
4520“ Eh?
4520“ Eh?
4520“ Eh? ” Aaron looked up.
4520“ Eh? ” “ Are you going out? ” She twisted nervously.
4520“ Eh? ” “ Are you going out? ” She twisted nervously.
4520“ Enough of what? ” she said.
4520“ Er-- what bed do you propose to put him in? ” asked Robert rather officer- like.
4520“ Father, shall you set the Christmas Tree? ” they cried.
4520“ Give him time. ” “ Is he also afraid-- like Alcibiades? ” “ Are you, Aaron? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Give him time. ” “ Is he also afraid-- like Alcibiades? ” “ Are you, Aaron? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Glad to see you-- well, everything all right?
4520“ Go up there? ” said Aaron, pointing.
4520“ Have a drink, Josephine? ” said Robert.
4520“ Have another? ” said Jim, who was attending fixedly, with curious absorption, to the stranger.
4520“ Have n''t I?
4520“ Have n''t you got the music? ” She rose, not answering, and found him a little book.
4520“ Have one? ” Aaron shook his head, and Jim did not press him.
4520“ Have you got any Christmas- tree candles? ” he asked as he entered the shop.
4520“ Have you noticed it? ” “ No, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Have you really broken your engagement with Jim? ” shrilled Tanny in a high voice, as the train roared.
4520“ Have you? ” He lifted his head and looked at her.
4520“ He wants Julia to go down and stay. ” “ Is she going? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Help him up to my room, will you? ” he said to the constable.
4520“ How are you, darling? ” she asked.
4520“ How are your wife and children? ” she asked spitefully.
4520“ How do I look, eh?
4520“ How do you come here? ” “ I play the flute, ” he answered, as he shook hands.
4520“ How do you do?
4520“ How do you like Lilly?
4520“ How do you like being in London? ” “ I like London, ” said Aaron.
4520“ How is everybody? ” asked Tanny.
4520“ How is the night? ” she said, as if to change the whole feeling in the room.
4520“ How long ha''you been married?
4520“ How lovely for you!--And when will you go to Norway, Tanny? ” “ In about a month, ” said Tanny.
4520“ How many children have you? ” sang Julia from her distance.
4520“ How many do you want? ” he said.
4520“ How many do you want? ” “ A dozen. ” “ Ca n''t let you have a dozen.
4520“ How much? ” said Aaron to the driver.
4520“ How old are you? ” “ I''m twenty- five.
4520“ How shall you escape it? ” said Levison.
4520“ How strange!--Why is it burning now? ” “ It always burns, unfortunately-- it is most consistent at it.
4520“ How''s that? ” “ Why, because, in a way the people of India have an easier time even than the people of England.
4520“ How, act? ” “ Why, defy the government, and take things in their own hands, ” said Josephine.
4520“ How--? ” she said, with a sudden grunting, unhappy laugh.
4520“ How? ” “ You can live by your writing-- but I''ve got to have a job. ” “ Is that all? ” said Lilly.
4520“ How? ” “ You can live by your writing-- but I''ve got to have a job. ” “ Is that all? ” said Lilly.
4520“ I could n''t make it out, could you? ” “ Oh, ” cried Francis.
4520“ I do n''t even want to believe in them. ” “ But in yourself? ” Lilly was almost wistful-- and Aaron uneasy.
4520“ I do n''t know why I cry. ” “ You can cry for nothing, ca n''t you? ” he said.
4520“ I hope personification is right.--Ought to be_ allegory_ or something else? ” This from Clariss to Robert.
4520“ I say, do you hear the bells? ” said Robert, poking his head into the room.
4520“ I say, ” said Robert suddenly, from the rear--“anybody have a drink?
4520“ I suddenly saw that if there was a man in England who could save me, it was you. ” “ Save you from what? ” asked Lilly, rather abashed.
4520“ I suppose so. ” “ And why? ” she cried.
4520“ I think I''ll retire. ” “ Will you? ” said Julia, also rising.
4520“ I think they''re anything but angels. ” “ Do you though?
4520“ I went to the Uffizi. ” “ To the Uffizi?
4520“ I wish I were in the country, do n''t you?
4520“ I wonder what he''s doing here. ” “ Do n''t you think we might ASK him? ” said Francis, in a vehement whisper.
4520“ I wonder what will become of him-- ” “--Of the one who climbed for the flag, you mean?
4520“ I''m not so late, am I? ” asked Aaron.
4520“ I''ve been awfully bored. ” “ Have you? ” grinned Jim.
4520“ I''ve got it now in my overcoat pocket, ” he said, “ if you like. ” “ Have you?
4520“ I''ve nothing to lose. ” “ And were you surprised, Lilly, to find your friend here? ” asked Del Torre.
4520“ If childhood is more important than manhood, then why live to be a man at all?
4520“ If it is a good government, doctor, how can it be so bad for the people? ” said the landlady.
4520“ Is Mr. Lilly here?
4520“ Is it pretty much the same out there in India? ” he asked of the doctor, suddenly.
4520“ Is it that man Aaron Sisson? ” asked Robert.
4520“ Is it true for you? ” “ Nearly, ” said Aaron, looking into the quiet, half- amused, yet frightening eyes of the other man.
4520“ Is it very heavy? ” asked Millicent.
4520“ Is music your line as well, then? ” asked Aaron.
4520“ Is n''t it nasty? ” she said.
4520“ Is n''t there a lift in this establishment? ” he said, as he groped his way up the stone stairs.
4520“ Is n''t there something we could do to while the time away? ” Everybody suddenly laughed-- it sounded so remote and absurd.
4520“ Is that your flute? ” asked Lilly.
4520“ It IS he? ” said Josephine quietly, meeting Jim''s eye.
4520“ It IS the chap-- What? ” he exclaimed excitedly, looking round at his friends.
4520“ It was, was n''t it? ” she said, turning a wondering, glowing face to him.
4520“ It''ll do tomorrow morning, wo n''t it? ” he asked rather mocking.
4520“ It''s what chickens say when they''re poking their little noses into new adventures-- naughty ones. ” “ Are chickens naughty?
4520“ Jolly-- eh? ” said Jim.
4520“ Keb?
4520“ Leave a message for you, Sir? ” Lilly wrote his address on a card, then changed his mind.
4520“ Let''s, everybody-- let''s. ” “ Shall we really? ” asked Robert.
4520“ Like me to tuck the sheets round you, should n''t you?
4520“ Look, Father, do n''t you love it! ” “ Love it? ” he re- echoed, ironical over the word love.
4520“ Look, Mother, is n''t it a beauty? ” “ Mind the ring does n''t come out, ” said her mother.
4520“ Make haste and get better, and we''ll go. ” “ Where? ” said Aaron.
4520“ May I stay till Monday morning? ” said Aaron.
4520“ May he not be Guest? ” he asked, fatherly.
4520“ Me?
4520“ Me?
4520“ Me?
4520“ Me? ” he said.
4520“ Me? ” he said.
4520“ Me? ” said Sisson.
4520“ Mind if I stay till Saturday? ” There was a pause.
4520“ Must it be bloody, Josephine? ” said Robert.
4520“ My dear fellow, the only hope of salvation for the world lies in the re- institution of slavery. ” “ What kind of slavery? ” asked Levison.
4520“ My hat and coat? ” he said to Lilly.
4520“ No, I like to have it in my bedroom. ” “ You do n''t eat bread in the night? ” said Lilly.
4520“ No, I want none of that. ” “ Then--? ” But now she sat gazing on him with wide, heavy, incomprehensible eyes.
4520“ No-- I do n''t mind it. ” “ Do you feel at home in Florence? ” Aaron asked her.
4520“ No-- where''s the loaf? ” And he cut himself about half of it.
4520“ Not asleep?
4520“ Not good, eh?
4520“ Not that you loved any other woman? ” “ God save me from it. ” “ You just left off loving? ” “ Not even that.
4520“ Not that you loved any other woman? ” “ God save me from it. ” “ You just left off loving? ” “ Not even that.
4520“ Now Marchesa-- might we hope for a song? ” “ No-- I do n''t sing any more, ” came the slow, contralto reply.
4520“ Now then--_siamo nel paradiso_, eh?
4520“ Now? ” he said.
4520“ Now? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Of what?
4520“ Oh, what would you?
4520“ Or what, then? ” “ Or anything.
4520“ Please do take another-- but perhaps you do n''t like mushrooms? ” Aaron quite liked mushrooms, and helped himself to the_ entree_.
4520“ Robert is so happy with all the good things-- aren''t you dear? ” she sang, breaking into a hurried laugh.
4520“ Shall I go away? ” he said at length.
4520“ Shall I? ” she said.
4520“ Shall we be lovers? ” came his voice once more, with the faintest touch of irony.
4520“ Shall we be lovers? ” he said.
4520“ Shall we go into the sala and have real music?
4520“ Shall we illuminate one of the fir- trees by the lawn? ” “ Yes!
4520“ Shall we listen to it for a minute? ” She led him across the grass past the shrubs to the big tree in the centre.
4520“ She does n''t love me. ” “ Is that true? ” asked Robert hastily, of Josephine.
4520“ Sir William Franks? ” said Aaron.
4520“ So you feel you have no country of your own? ” “ I have Italy.
4520“ Stay all night? ” he said.
4520“ Tell me, ” said Francis, “ will you have your coffee black, or with milk? ” He was determined to restore a tone of sobriety.
4520“ Thank goodness the Italians are better than they used to be. ” “ Are they better than they used to be? ” “ Oh, much.
4520“ That goes much lower down-- about here. ” “ Are you sure? ” said Lady Franks.
4520“ That man''s sitting in it. ” “ Which? ” cried Francis, indignant.
4520“ That''s how it looks on the face of it, is n''t it? ” he said.
4520“ That''s the chap. ” “ Who?
4520“ The nearest? ” said the policeman.
4520“ Then it''s no engagement? ” said Robert.
4520“ Then upon what grounds did you abandon your family?
4520“ Then what''s the use of going somewhere else?
4520“ Then who would be the masters?--the professional classes, doctors and lawyers and so on? ” “ What?
4520“ Then who would be the masters?--the professional classes, doctors and lawyers and so on? ” “ What?
4520“ Then will you come and have dinner with us--? ” Francis fixed up the time and the place-- a small restaurant at the other end of the town.
4520“ Then wo n''t you come on-- let me see-- on Wednesday?
4520“ There now, is n''t it handsome?
4520“ They''re old-- older than the Old Man of the Seas, sometimes, are n''t they?
4520“ Think they have? ” he laughed.
4520“ Three. ” “ Girls or boys? ” “ Girls. ” “ All girls?
4520“ Three. ” “ Girls or boys? ” “ Girls. ” “ All girls?
4520“ To see her people?
4520“ To whom? ” said Lilly.
4520“ We are sure to run across one another. ” “ When are you going? ” asked Aaron.
4520“ We might begin to be ourselves, anyhow. ” “ And what does that mean? ” said Aaron.
4520“ We''re so happy in a land of plenty, AREN''T WE DEAR? ” “ Do you mean I''m greedy, Julia? ” said Robert.
4520“ We''re so happy in a land of plenty, AREN''T WE DEAR? ” “ Do you mean I''m greedy, Julia? ” said Robert.
4520“ We''ve got one! ” “ Afore I have my dinner? ” he answered amiably.
4520“ Well now, what do you base your opinion on? ” Mr. French gave various bases for his opinion.
4520“ Well then, what is it?
4520“ Well, and how have you spent your morning? ” asked the host.
4520“ Well, and what have you been doing with yourself? ” said he.
4520“ Well, then, Angus-- suppose we do that, then?--When shall we start? ” Angus was the nervous insister.
4520“ Well, then, ” said Francis, “ you will be in to lunch here, wo n''t you?
4520“ Well, then?
4520“ Well, who AM I to think of? ” she asked.
4520“ Well, ” he said, “ you''ve got men and nations, and you''ve got the machines of war-- so how are you going to get out of it?
4520“ Well, ” said Argyle, “ what have you been doing with yourself, eh?
4520“ Well, ” said the little Hindu doctor, “ and how are things going now, with the men? ” “ The same as ever, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Well-- shall I say?
4520“ Were you on your way home? ” asked Robert, huffy.
4520“ What SHOULD I drink? ” said Aaron, whose acquaintance with wines was not very large.
4520“ What about it, then? ” asked Aaron.
4520“ What about the bridegroom, Algy, my boy?
4520“ What about the wife and kiddies?
4520“ What about the wife? ” said Robert-- the young lieutenant.
4520“ What am I going to do this winter, do you think? ” Aaron asked.
4520“ What am I to put it in? ” he queried.
4520“ What are you bothering about? ” he said.
4520“ What are you doing today? ” Aaron was not doing anything in particular.
4520“ What are you going to do about your move on? ” “ Me! ” said Lilly.
4520“ What becomes of me?
4520“ What ca n''t you? ” “ Choose.
4520“ What did you do yesterday? ” “ Yesterday? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What did you do yesterday? ” “ Yesterday? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What do I call the common good? ” repeated the landlady.
4520“ What do I call wisdom? ” repeated the landlady.
4520“ What do YOU care for? ” asked Lilly.
4520“ What do YOU think, Josephine? ” asked Lilly.
4520“ What do the words mean? ” he asked her.
4520“ What do you make of the miners? ” said Jim, suddenly taking a new line.
4520“ What do you make of''em, eh? ” he said.
4520“ What do you reckon stars are? ” asked the sepulchral voice of Jim.
4520“ What do you want to do? ” “ Nay, that''s what I want to know. ” “ Do you want anything?
4520“ What do you want to do? ” “ Nay, that''s what I want to know. ” “ Do you want anything?
4520“ What do you want to know for? ” He made no other answer, and turned again to the music.
4520“ What do you want to see in me? ” he asked, with a smile, looking steadily back again.
4520“ What does he do? ” “ Writes-- stories and plays. ” “ And makes it pay? ” “ Hardly at all.--They want us to go.
4520“ What does he do? ” “ Writes-- stories and plays. ” “ And makes it pay? ” “ Hardly at all.--They want us to go.
4520“ What else could I tell them?
4520“ What gives you such a belly- ache for love, Jim? ” said Lilly, “ or for being loved?
4520“ What gives you such a belly- ache for love, Jim? ” said Lilly, “ or for being loved?
4520“ What have I been able to say to the children-- what have I been able to tell them? ” “ What HAVE you told them? ” he asked coldly.
4520“ What have I been able to say to the children-- what have I been able to tell them? ” “ What HAVE you told them? ” he asked coldly.
4520“ What have they to fight for? ” “ Why, everything!
4520“ What have you come for? ” she cried again, with a voice full of hate.
4520“ What have you come here for? ” His soul went black as he looked at her.
4520“ What have you had enough of?
4520“ What have you to do this morning? ” she asked him.
4520“ What is cheap, please?
4520“ What is it on the clock? ” The taxi was paid, the two men went upstairs.
4520“ What is it? ” cried Julia.
4520“ What is it? ” he asked.
4520“ What is it? ” he said, to a rather sniffy messenger boy.
4520“ What is that light burning?
4520“ What is the difference then between you and me, Lilly? ” he said.
4520“ What is there to say? ” ejaculated Lilly rapidly, with a spoonful of breath which he managed to compress and control into speech.
4520“ What is there to talk about? ” “ Usually there''s so much, ” she said sarcastically.
4520“ What makes you think so? ” “ Circumstances, ” replied Aaron sourly.
4520“ What sort? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What the hell do you take that beastly personal tone for? ” cried Lilly at Tanny, as the three sat under a leafless great beech- tree.
4520“ What time is Manfredi coming back? ” said he.
4520“ What train? ” said Arthur.
4520“ What was it?
4520“ What was it? ” It was the socialists.
4520“ What was the interesting topic? ” he said cuttingly.
4520“ What were they on about today, then? ” she said.
4520“ What will Robert do? ” “ Have a shot at Josephine, apparently. ” “ Really?
4520“ What will Robert do? ” “ Have a shot at Josephine, apparently. ” “ Really?
4520“ What would you like to drink?
4520“ What you give-- he?
4520“ What''re you laughing at? ” repeated Aaron.
4520“ What''s amiss? ” said Aaron Sisson, breaking this spell.
4520“ What''s her name? ” “ Mrs.
4520“ What''s that?--What would be romantic? ” said Jim as he lurched up and caught hold of Cyril Scott''s arm.
4520“ What''s the good of that? ” he said irritably.
4520“ What''s the matter with the fellow? ” he said.
4520“ What''s tomorrow? ” said Jim.
4520“ What, do n''t you think they''re wonderful? ” “ No.
4520“ What?
4520“ What?
4520“ What?
4520“ What? ” said Aaron, looking up.
4520“ What? ” “ Afraid of spoiling your beauty by screwing your mouth to the flute? ” “ I look a fool, do I, when I''m playing? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What? ” “ Afraid of spoiling your beauty by screwing your mouth to the flute? ” “ I look a fool, do I, when I''m playing? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What? ” “ Afraid of spoiling your beauty by screwing your mouth to the flute? ” “ I look a fool, do I, when I''m playing? ” said Aaron.
4520“ When are you going? ” he asked irritably, looking up at Lilly, whose face hovered in that green shadow above, and worried him.
4520“ When did I make that start, then? ” “ At some unmentionably young age.
4520“ When did you come to Florence? ” There was a little explanation.
4520“ Where are you going to have it? ” he called.
4520“ Where from? ” “ Watch Ireland, and watch Japan-- they''re the two poles of the world, ” said Jim.
4520“ Where is Scott to- night? ” asked Struthers.
4520“ Where is n''t it?
4520“ Where is there a doctor? ” he added, on reflection.
4520“ Where shall I come to you? ” he said.
4520“ Where shall I say? ” Lilly produced the map, and they decided on time and station at which Lois coming out of London, should meet Jim.
4520“ Where to? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Where were YOU all the time during the war? ” “ I was doing my job, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Where''s the beer? ” he asked, in deep tones, smiling full into Josephine''s face, as if she were going to produce it by some sleight of hand.
4520“ Where''s the wine list?
4520“ Where?
4520“ Which room? ” said the policeman, dubious.
4520“ Who knows all the vile things you''ve been doing?
4520“ Who threw the bomb? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Who''s your husband?
4520“ Who--?
4520“ Who? ” said Tanny.
4520“ Who? ” “ Those two who were here this evening. ” “ Miss Wade and Mr.
4520“ Why I left her? ” he said.
4520“ Why are n''t you satisfied? ” “ I''m not satisfied.
4520“ Why are you crying? ” he said.
4520“ Why are you such a baby? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Why do you have those people? ” he asked.
4520“ Why must you interfere? ” “ Because I intend to, ” said Lilly.
4520“ Why not carry it out-- eh?
4520“ Why not?
4520“ Why not? ” Both were watching blankly the roaring night of mid- London, the phantasmagoric old Bloomsbury Square.
4520“ Why not? ” replied Robert, answering for her.
4520“ Why not? ” “ I do n''t want to. ” “ Why not? ” she asked.
4520“ Why not? ” “ I do n''t want to. ” “ Why not? ” she asked.
4520“ Why not? ” “ It''s just my nature. ” “ Are you a seeker?
4520“ Why not? ” “ It''s just my nature. ” “ Are you a seeker?
4520“ Why should I? ” And she looked away into the restless hive of the theatre.
4520“ Why should n''t I? ” she persisted.
4520“ Why should n''t you be, anyhow? ” he said.
4520“ Why, have you left valuables in your overcoat? ” “ My flute, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Why, how do you mean, what sort?
4520“ Why, what more could a man want from life?
4520“ Why? ” she exclaimed.
4520“ Why? ” “ I know it.
4520“ Will he heed, will he heed? ” thought the anxious second self.
4520“ Will he never hear?
4520“ Will you be alone all winter? ” “ Just myself and Tanny, ” he answered.
4520“ Will you be leaving in the morning, Mr. Sisson? ” asked Lady Franks.
4520“ Will you come to dinner tomorrow evening? ” said his hostess to him as he was leaving.
4520“ Will you get the flute? ” she said as they entered.
4520“ Will you have supper? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Will you really come?
4520“ Will you stay to dinner? ” said the Marchesa.
4520“ Will you tell me why you left your wife and children?--Didn''t you love them? ” Aaron looked at the odd, round, dark muzzle of the girl.
4520“ Wo n''t it break? ” she persisted.
4520“ Wo n''t they be expecting you? ” said Robert, trying to keep his temper and his tone of authority.
4520“ Wo n''t you come and have a cocktail? ” she said.
4520“ Wo n''t you go home to them? ” she said, hysterical.
4520“ Wo n''t you kiss me? ” came her voice out of the darkness.
4520“ Wo n''t you let me try some accompaniment? ” said the soldier.
4520“ Wo n''t you stay? ” she said, in a small, muted voice.
4520“ Wo n''t you take off your coat? ” she said, looking at him with strange, large dark eyes.
4520“ Wo n''t you? ” “ Yes, ” he said quietly.
4520“ Would n''t you? ” he asked.
4520“ Would you like a little tea? ” “ Ay-- and a bit of toast. ” “ You''re not supposed to have solid food.
4520“ Would you like me to play it? ” he said.
4520“ Would you like tea or anything? ” Lilly asked.
4520“ Would you like to be wrapped in swaddling bands and laid at the breast? ” asked Lilly, disagreeably.
4520“ Would you like to see the room where we have music? ” he said.
4520“ Would you rather take a bus? ” she said in a high voice, because of the wind.
4520“ Would you rather? ” she said, keeping her face averted.
4520“ Yes, I prefer it. ” “ You like living all alone? ” “ I do n''t know about that.
4520“ Yes, and THEN WHAT? ” cried the landlady.
4520“ Yes, why not? ” said Tanny.
4520“ Yes-- shall you buy us some, Father?
4520“ Yes.--May I have another whiskey, please? ” She rose at once, powerfully energetic.
4520“ Yes? ” he said.
4520“ Yet you can give no reasons? ” “ Not any reasons that would be any good.
4520“ You agree? ” “ Yes, on the whole. ” “ So do I-- on the whole.
4520“ You are new in Florence? ” he said, as he presented the match.
4520“ You are sure it wo n''t be too much for you-- too far? ” said the little officer, taking his wife''s arm solicitously.
4520“ You believe in love, do n''t you? ” said Jim, sitting down near Aaron, and grinning at him.
4520“ You brought the flute? ” she said, in that toneless, melancholy, unstriving voice of hers.
4520“ You ca n''t REMEMBER us, can you? ” she asked.
4520“ You can take a sudden jump, ca n''t you? ” he said.
4520“ You did n''t expect me, then? ” “ Yes, oh, yes.
4520“ You do everything for yourself, then? ” said Aaron.
4520“ You do know, do n''t you? ” she insisted, still with the wistful appeal, and the veiled threat.
4520“ You do n''t mind if I play it, do you? ” he said.
4520“ You do n''t mind? ” “ No-- why-- It''s just as you see it.--Jim Bricknell''s a rare comic, to my eye. ” “ Oh, him!--no, not actually.
4520“ You do n''t want emotions?
4520“ You have n''t eaten?
4520“ You have n''t heard from your husband? ” he added.
4520“ You know what I mean-- ” “ You like your own company?
4520“ You know you''ve been wrong to me, do n''t you? ” she said, half wistfully, half menacing.
4520“ You mean the bird of your voice?
4520“ You seriously think so? ” said Miss Wade.
4520“ You want to stay? ” he said.
4520“ You wanted the book of_ chansons_? ” she said.
4520“ You will stay to dinner tonight, wo n''t you? ” she said.
4520“ You wo n''t forget our candles, will you, Father? ” asked Millicent, with assurance now.
4520“ You would n''t like me to wire to your wife? ” said Lilly.
4520“ You''ll come and have dinner with me-- or lunch-- will you?
4520“ You''ll eat a mince- pie in the kitchen with us, for luck? ” she said to him, detaining him till last.
4520“ You''ll go to bed, wo n''t you? ” said Lilly to Aaron, when the door was shut.
4520“ You''ll take another glass yourself, Sir? ” “ Yes, I will, I will.
4520“ You''re going in the morning? ” said Arthur.
4520“ You''re not offended, are you? ” he asked.
4520“ You''ve got a husband, have you? ” “ Rather!
4520“ You''ve known some life, have n''t you? ” he asked.
