48602 | Is there such a word for a meeting in Gaelic? |
48602 | Morpeth M. and B.? |
48602 | No? |
48602 | No? |
48602 | No? |
48602 | No? |
48602 | No? |
48602 | Norham M. and B.? |
48602 | Now what can this rammed gravel mean but an expedient to avoid the danger of building in stone on freshly heaped soil? |
48602 | Now what was the nature of these fortifications, which the_ Anglo- Saxon Chronicle_ uniformly calls_ burhs_? |
48602 | Originally? |
48602 | Peterborough Motte only? |
48602 | Runcorn 916 No motte; a mediæval castle(?). |
48602 | Tynemouth? |
48602 | We may presume that he built with stone the decagonal[ shell?] |
48602 | Were they intended for serious military defence? |
48602 | Who among Saxon nobles was more likely to possess a castle than the powerful Earl Godwin, and his independent sons? |
48602 | Why, then, had the chroniclers no fresh word for a thing which was in its essential nature so novel? |
48602 | [ 1025] LOCKHART.--Stevenston, in Ayrshire, takes its name from Stephen Loccard, and Symington, in Lanark, from his son(? |
48602 | [ 392] But let us assume the statement about the_ castrum_ to be true; the question then to be answered is this: of what nature was that castrum? |
27881 | And is_ that_ all, Zelphine, and do n''t you think it about time that they should learn better; and who is the_ he_ in question, anyhow? |
27881 | And pray who is this M. La Tour that you are all quoting? 27881 And what have we done to deserve such an opinion?" |
27881 | And where did you come across them? |
27881 | And why did Louis, the Father of his people, the good King Louis, imprison Ludovico all those years? |
27881 | Are they crows''nests? |
27881 | But how do they manage to sleep with the ghosts of all these good men who have been murdered here haunting the place at night? |
27881 | Chenonceaux being Diane''s château and this her own room, what more natural than that her cipher should be here, as Rousseau says? 27881 Do n''t be_ too_ comforting, Walter, and why did n''t you tell me before that M. La Tour could not go with us to- morrow?" |
27881 | Gentle Dauphin,she said to him one day,"Why do you not believe me? |
27881 | How could I help asking him,this in Walter''s most persuasive tone,"when he has taken the trouble to come over here to dine with us? |
27881 | How is Archie ever going to find out whether Lydia cares for him, Zelphine? |
27881 | Pourquoi lui avez- vous coupé la gorge? |
27881 | Then why have you added to Archie''s troubles by urging M. La Tour to go with us to- morrow? |
27881 | Well, and even if she had been more than ordinarily nice to La Tour why do you trouble yourself about it, Zelphine? 27881 What became of her after Catherine turned her out of her château?" |
27881 | What does it all mean? |
27881 | What have we to do with St. Peter and his body? 27881 What is the little black- eyed woman talking about?" |
27881 | Where the deuce does the fellow get them? |
27881 | Why did you kill the Emperor Maximilian? |
27881 | Why not tell him yourself, Zelphine? 27881 Why_ my_ friend?" |
27881 | Yes, of course, how could I forget that evening? 27881 [ B]"And does he bring his family with him?" |
27881 | And darest thou then To beard the lion in his den, The Douglas in his hall? |
27881 | And hopest thou hence unscathed to go? |
27881 | And what do you think that heartless Lydia said between her laughter and her sobs? |
27881 | Angela immediately looked up trains and finding that the next train would be one hour too late for the boat, what do you think she did? |
27881 | At first he looked perplexed and then indignantly turned to us for an explanation:"What ailed the lady, and why was she displeased? |
27881 | Can you imagine anything more picturesque, or, as Miss Cassandra says, anything more unhealthy? |
27881 | Did he kill the beasts with his big stick?" |
27881 | Did you ever hear of anything so delicious? |
27881 | Do n''t you think so yourself, Miss Cassandra?" |
27881 | Do you remember how Angela and the Doctor trotted off to see the ruins at Exeter by moonlight?" |
27881 | Do you remember what he said about having a tree planted over his grave? |
27881 | Do you wonder that Lisa calls this a fairy journey? |
27881 | Have you seen Chaumont, which she so unwillingly received in exchange? |
27881 | I can hear you say,"Why not take them to Tours, for the French there?" |
27881 | If her means were equal to her charitable intent, what would she not do for the benefit of mankind in all quarters of the globe? |
27881 | It is quite evident that Brantôme''s eyes were bedazzled by the glitter of royalty, or was it the glitter of royal gold? |
27881 | Not even when Miss Cassandra asked her favorite question in royal palaces,"How many in family?" |
27881 | Now what is it to pass away, is it not to die, to vanish from the earth?" |
27881 | Philippe is my name; why not Philippe?" |
27881 | Polly has learned some English phrases from the numerous guests of the house, and cordially greets us with"Good- by"when we enter and"How do you do?" |
27881 | Pourquoi avez- vous tué l''Empereur Maximilian?" |
27881 | Walter calls it a piece of American effrontery, but I call it quickwitted, do n''t you? |
27881 | We asked"Why?" |
27881 | What did the good priest do when he landed on the island? |
27881 | What do you think we have been doing this evening? |
27881 | When she exclaimed with fervor,"Have you ever seen any one to be compared with the King?" |
27881 | Why do many of the people, who do the châteaux so conscientiously, skip Angers?" |
27881 | Why do n''t you and Mr. Leonard come too?" |
27881 | You remember that her only reply was,''Is the King yet dead?'' |
27881 | no, we do n''t spoil sport; do we, Zelphine?" |
37180 | And is not the coast very dangerous? |
37180 | And when there is a wreck? |
37180 | And why have you kept it in that state instead of washing it? 37180 Are there not wrecks sometimes along those reefs we see there?" |
37180 | Are they pearls of my mother- in- law''s? |
37180 | Are you quite sure? |
37180 | Fie, fie,he cried, striking that horrid relic out of his brother''s hand,"are these fit sights for a lady, you hog, Simon?" |
37180 | Hundreds and thousands of years ago? |
37180 | It is too cold for you here,he said very tenderly after a moment,"had you not better go back to your rooms?" |
37180 | Well, my dear? |
37180 | What do you mean, Davies? |
37180 | What do you say to that? |
37180 | What has the sea- wall to do with my illness? 37180 Where have you seen drowned people, Penelope?" |
37180 | Where is Davies? 37180 Where is she going, do you know?" |
37180 | Why do you suspect these pearls of coming from the sea? |
37180 | Would it not be worth while to break through such a habit,I asked,"to have a physician here at the proper time? |
37180 | You are sure Davies is safe? |
37180 | *****"Eustace,"I asked,"how did it begin? |
37180 | And even the shameful question, asked with burning cheeks,"Did you know all?" |
37180 | And if you were not spying for their benefit, why were you watching me as I came up the glen the day I was taken ill? |
37180 | Are n''t you glad? |
37180 | Are we not together, quite together, and together for always?" |
37180 | At the turn of the road? |
37180 | But Eustace, why should not our child be born in your house and mine?" |
37180 | But I loosened your hands and kissed them one by one, and said,"Nay, Eustace, why should you grieve? |
37180 | But have I been perfectly loyal in hiding my wonder, my disappointment, my sorrow? |
37180 | But how elude the vigilance of our gaolers and overcome the obstacles they had built up around us? |
37180 | But what to do? |
37180 | But why have I recourse to such explanations? |
37180 | But why have remained here? |
37180 | Did I dream-- or did you find me lying by the fountain on the terrace-- the fountain of your poor water snake?" |
37180 | Did he or did he not know? |
37180 | Did it ever happen? |
37180 | Did you-- was it picked up then or only now? |
37180 | Do we not love each other? |
37180 | Do you remember when I proposed sending you to Bath for our child''s birth? |
37180 | Does he know yet? |
37180 | Good God, is my husband a mere pensioner of all this hideousness, as his wretched brother seems to have been? |
37180 | Had his suspicion been awakened? |
37180 | Has any man been such a man in his gentleness and humility? |
37180 | Have I a right to it? |
37180 | Have you not learned your Catechism, my dear? |
37180 | He sighed deeply,"A bishop? |
37180 | I asked,"do your uncles go out to save the poor people with those boats?" |
37180 | I cried,"do n''t you care? |
37180 | I knew what she meant-- for are not my own thoughts for ever going over that same ground? |
37180 | Indeed, may it not be that in taking away our child while yet unborn He did so in His mercy to it and to its wretched parents? |
37180 | Is he our fellow- victim or the ringleader of this usurping gang of ruffians? |
37180 | Is that hideous thing true? |
37180 | Is that it?" |
37180 | No one except-- except that dead man?" |
37180 | Not in the house, at least, there is no one in the house? |
37180 | On hearing the door open he started to his feet and cried in a terrible voice"What do you want with me?" |
37180 | Only one evil chance remained, and that we none of us dared to mention: what if Hubert, as is sometimes the case, should stay behind? |
37180 | Or is some shred of nightmare returning ever and again out of the black depths of my sickness? |
37180 | Salvat''s?" |
37180 | Shall I ever know whether it really happened? |
37180 | Was Eustace there? |
37180 | Was he ailing? |
37180 | Was he detained on business? |
37180 | Was it a coincidence; or had he overheard us appoint it as a signal, and was he mocking and torturing Eustace as well as me? |
37180 | Was it a desire to threaten, a stupid, taunting spirit, or the reckless frankness of one who thought herself doomed? |
37180 | Were ever those small words spoken so greatly? |
37180 | What do you mean, dear Lady Brandling?" |
37180 | What has befallen Eustace? |
37180 | What made me say those last words? |
37180 | Where shall I begin? |
37180 | Why did I not recognise that your soul was strong enough to bear the truth? |
37180 | Why do you talk only of plans and difficulties? |
37180 | Why do you want to send me away, to leave me all alone when our child is born?" |
37180 | Why should I believe one word of what you tell me?" |
37180 | Why should I believe that you are with_ me_, and against_ them_?" |
37180 | Why should I believe that you have really changed so completely? |
37180 | _ I suppose some one else found it? |
37180 | he asks insolently, and the notes seemed to ooze out from under his fingers,"have I got the tune right? |
37180 | he cries--"is she gone?" |
37180 | he said,"what is the matter?" |
37180 | is it so?" |
21455 | Are you going to send a boat? |
21455 | Are you going, you villains? |
21455 | Are you quite sure that you did not run away? |
21455 | But whereabouts on the ground? |
21455 | Ca n''t I have a little milk? |
21455 | Ca n''t you find a shirt and a pair of trousers for the poor fellow? |
21455 | Ca n''t you get any of your friends to go also? 21455 Can you swear this is the keg you took from the prisoner?" |
21455 | Could n''t you get Sir Reginald to advance the money? |
21455 | Could they have set the place on fire? |
21455 | Do n''t you wish you may get it? |
21455 | Do you bring any message for him? 21455 Do you feel better?" |
21455 | Do you know you are whitened all over? |
21455 | Has no one a further proposal to make? |
21455 | Has no one any opinion to offer? |
21455 | Has no one else an opinion to give? |
21455 | Has your ship gone to the bottom? |
21455 | Have n''t I? |
21455 | Have they not been retaken? |
21455 | Have you examined the keg, men,said the squire,"to ascertain if it contains spirits?" |
21455 | Have you got far to go home? |
21455 | Hillo, youngster, where are you going to? |
21455 | How did you get up there? |
21455 | I axes you, Captain Longfleet, whether you think this ere stuff is fit food for British seamen? |
21455 | I say, Mr Riddle, were you ever shipwrecked? |
21455 | I wonder what was the matter with Burden? |
21455 | If it were not for young Cheveley, where should we be by this time, Captain Longfleet? |
21455 | If, as I before observed, we were to kill the captain, officers, and crew, what''s to become of the ship without any one to navigate her? 21455 Is there any other case before me?" |
21455 | Is this the young stowaway, Mr Huggins? |
21455 | No, I do n''t think I ever saw you before,he answered;"but how do you happen to know my name?" |
21455 | None of you young gentlemen have ever been to sea, I suppose? |
21455 | Now where have you been all this time? |
21455 | Oh, Master Cheveley, what did bring you aboard? |
21455 | Out of your pay, Dick? |
21455 | Please, sir,I said,"could you tell me where that ship is going to?" |
21455 | Said Joe to Toney,` What are you doing in these''ere parts, old Ship?'' 21455 Shall we trust the young rascal?" |
21455 | Well, Mr Jack Cope, what have you to say for yourself to induce me to refrain from making out a warrant to commit you to gaol? |
21455 | Well, boy, what do you want? |
21455 | What about Nero and Pincher? |
21455 | What are you going to do with me? |
21455 | What business had he to stow himself away, and make us all fancy that a ghost was haunting the ship? |
21455 | What business had you to come aboard, boy, without leave? |
21455 | What business had you to go to trouble Sir Reginald about that young scapegrace Riddle? |
21455 | What can have made all that row? |
21455 | What have I done, sir? |
21455 | What is your name? |
21455 | What ship do you belong to? |
21455 | What ship is that? 21455 What ship is that?" |
21455 | What will become of them, Brother Doublechops? |
21455 | What''s all this about? 21455 What''s that you''re talking about, you mutinous rascals?" |
21455 | What''s this about, you young rascal? |
21455 | Where are you bound for, youngster? |
21455 | Where did you come from, and for what port are you bound? |
21455 | Where have you been, Master Dick? |
21455 | Where you been all dis time, Dick? |
21455 | Whereabouts were you sleeping? |
21455 | Who are you, youngster? |
21455 | Who are you? |
21455 | Who are you? |
21455 | Who have you got with you, my son? |
21455 | Who is it from? |
21455 | Who would have thought of finding you, Dick, all alone by yourself out on yonder rock? |
21455 | Who''s that? |
21455 | Who''s to take the ship round Cape Horn, if we do away with the officers? |
21455 | Whom have you got here? |
21455 | Why, Jack, I do believe it''s a boy,exclaimed a fourth;"we must get him up whatever he is, but how could he have come there?" |
21455 | Why, my lad, who are you, and how came you here? |
21455 | Why, what can that be? |
21455 | Why, who are you? 21455 Why, youngster, how did you come aboard here? |
21455 | Would you like to make some blocks? 21455 You contrived to live down in the hold in an extraordinary manner-- how did you manage it?" |
21455 | You think Liverpool a very fine place? |
21455 | ` Are you going to join or are you not?'' 21455 ` Are you hungry, my man?'' |
21455 | ` Come, my man, are you ready for your grub?'' 21455 ` This seems a curious job,''he said to himself;` have they taken me for a bale of goods and hove me down here to stay till they discharge cargo?'' |
21455 | ` Who are you?'' 21455 And so you wish to become a second Nelson? |
21455 | And this is John Cheveley''s boy, is he? |
21455 | And what about the terrier? |
21455 | And yet it must be; and are you really Dick Cheveley?" |
21455 | Are you a good hand at figuring? |
21455 | At last he said--"To what did Sir Reginald allude when he talked of your connexion with young Riddle?" |
21455 | But how was I to get to sea? |
21455 | But then the thought occurred to me, will the door be closed so that I shall be unable to open it? |
21455 | Ca n''t you swim, master?" |
21455 | Could it be possible that they intended to leave me here to perish by hunger? |
21455 | Desert your family and me, your affectionate aunt, and the kind friend who so generously consents to become your patron from the regard he has for me? |
21455 | Did I not mistake what you said? |
21455 | Do n''t you hear me? |
21455 | Do n''t you know me, Dick?" |
21455 | Do you happen to know what a midshipman''s half- pay is? |
21455 | Do you mean Mark Riddle?" |
21455 | Do you recognise them?" |
21455 | Do you want another dose of this rope?" |
21455 | He made further inquiries about how I had been found, and asked the men whether they had before known of my being on board? |
21455 | How did you know I wanted to get into the boat?" |
21455 | How have you got into this plight? |
21455 | How many days out?" |
21455 | Hungry as I was I could not help exclaiming,"What, do n''t you know me, Mark?" |
21455 | I was about to follow the latter course, when I heard the captain''s voice shouting,"Halloa, youngster, where on earth do you come from?" |
21455 | I wonder whether the captain would like me as a midshipman? |
21455 | I''ve just to ask you, Aunt Deb, what England would be without her navy, and what the navy would be unless boys were allowed to go into it?" |
21455 | If I did so, what hope could I have of escaping? |
21455 | If he would promise not to poach again, will it not be kind to let him off?" |
21455 | In case of your father''s death, what would become of you all? |
21455 | Is it not so?" |
21455 | Is it not?" |
21455 | Is that it?" |
21455 | Is there no other way in?" |
21455 | It had probably stood many a storm, but would it stand fast now? |
21455 | My lad? |
21455 | Oh, Aunt Deb, do tell me is she really dead?" |
21455 | On getting up with me, he inquired,"What made you try to run off? |
21455 | Putting up my hand, I felt a beam above my head; could it be one of the rafters, or the roof? |
21455 | Shall we heave him over the cliffs, or what shall we do with him, mates?" |
21455 | Should I be discovered? |
21455 | Should I make a signal, and try to attract the attention of those on board? |
21455 | So, brother rats, is not mine a bright idea, a grand idea, a superb idea? |
21455 | Still, what other chance had I to get to sea? |
21455 | Suddenly the idea seized me, should I stow myself away on board, and not appear until the ship had sailed out to sea? |
21455 | Suppose just for one moment that we should succeed, and that we should put to death every human being on board, what would become of the ship? |
21455 | Tell me what? |
21455 | The act would be too diabolical for the worst of wretches to think of, and yet what other reason could they have for shutting me up in such a place? |
21455 | The question, however, was, when would any one come down? |
21455 | To throw away the brilliant prospects which through my means have been opened out to you? |
21455 | What became of the rest of the crew, and the men engaged in landing the cargo?" |
21455 | What do you say, John?" |
21455 | What has happened?" |
21455 | What if the pickles and biscuits had shared the same fate? |
21455 | What if the ship should prove to be a pirate, instead of an honest trader? |
21455 | What is your name, prisoner?" |
21455 | What''s that?" |
21455 | What''s your name?" |
21455 | When are you going to finish off the mounseers?'' |
21455 | When the water rushes in, what will become of us? |
21455 | Where do you come from? |
21455 | Where have you been ever since we sailed from the Mersey?" |
21455 | Where have you been? |
21455 | Who are you?'' |
21455 | Who will second me?" |
21455 | Why should we not do so through whole planks? |
21455 | Will any one come to take me out of this place? |
21455 | Will you promise to keep quiet?" |
21455 | Would the captain take me without further introduction, if I should offer myself? |
21455 | Would they have any suspicion of what had become of me? |
21455 | Would you mind coming with me?" |
21455 | You are pleased with your excellent prospects in his office, I hope?" |
21455 | Youngster; what made you try to get away from us?" |
21455 | inquired a rough, surly- looking old seaman, who was handling a large case? |
21455 | shouted father,` what business have you here?'' |
39340 | ''Course he did; why should n''t he? 39340 ''Tain''t Christmas, what''s the horrid row? |
39340 | A little bit of chicken and bread- sauce done with broiled bacon-- at least I think so, dear-- why do you ask? |
39340 | An''nen I says,''How can I be dood? 39340 And how do you come to have them all?" |
39340 | And what did you buy with your half- crown? |
39340 | And what do they yub on them when they do n''t fight bravely? |
39340 | And what is his name? |
39340 | And who may the young gentleman be? |
39340 | And who may you be, little boy? |
39340 | And why not? |
39340 | And why? |
39340 | And you know I remembered last night when I was lying awake that Catherine would have done this----"What Catherine? |
39340 | Anybody might have seen you, and then what would they think? |
39340 | Are you afraid? |
39340 | Are you catching cold with the draught, Hugh John? |
39340 | Are you not coming? |
39340 | But did you ever hear such rot? |
39340 | But look here, how are we to get back Donald unless we split? 39340 But suppose, father, that there was some one always there to see that they did behave, would you mind?" |
39340 | But tell me, Toady Lion,she went on,"does Hugh John like going to church, and being washed, and things?" |
39340 | But you won''t-- will you, dear Toady Lion? |
39340 | But,said Prissy,"perhaps you forgot that a soft answer turneth away wrath?" |
39340 | By the way, what is your name? 39340 Can I have the biggest and nicerest saucer of the scrapings of the preserving- pan to- night?" |
39340 | Could n''t you say it now? |
39340 | Course I would,agreed his officer,"do n''t you know that''s what generals are for?" |
39340 | Course she does,sneered Napoleon;"think she''s out screeching like that for fun? |
39340 | Did I not tell you not to go to the orchard? |
39340 | Did n''t the fool ride a horse? |
39340 | Did you call names at my mother? |
39340 | Did you strike this boy to- day in front of his mother''s gate? |
39340 | Did''oo find the funny fing behind the stable, Hugh John? |
39340 | Do field- marshals_ all_ smell like that? |
39340 | Do get me some mustard, Janet,he said, swinging his wet legs;"and where on earth have you put the pickles?" |
39340 | Do n''t you know that''s the stuff they rub on the wounded when they have fought bravely? 39340 Do n''t you think the town''s people would if you gave them the sixpences all for themselves?" |
39340 | Do n''t you think we should have the other children here? |
39340 | Do n''t''oo know? 39340 Do you know me?" |
39340 | Do you remember what you once made me say here, Cissy? |
39340 | Do you take sugar? |
39340 | Does Prissy have any of-- the missionary money? |
39340 | Eh, what? |
39340 | Father--she went a little nearer to him and stroked the cuff of his coat- sleeve--"does the land beyond the bridge belong to you?" |
39340 | Father,she said at last,"you do n''t really want to keep people out of the castle altogether, do you?" |
39340 | Get away out of my field, little boy-- where are you going? 39340 Go''way, Lepronia Lovell,"growled Billy;"do n''t you see that this is the young lady that cured my dog?" |
39340 | Have you got a match- box? |
39340 | Heavens and earth, Master Hugh-- what be you doing here? 39340 Hello,"cried Hugh John jovially,"at it already?" |
39340 | How could you tell such a whopper? 39340 How different?" |
39340 | I declare,she cried,"can you not give the poor little boy what he wants? |
39340 | I say, Ashwell Major,he said,"about that Good Conduct Prize-- who are you going to vote for?" |
39340 | Is n''t there something somewhere about helping the fatherless and the widow? |
39340 | Is which? 39340 Jane,"he said to Mrs. Carter,"what does Cissy like most of all for supper?" |
39340 | Just a little one to be going on with? |
39340 | Just once? |
39340 | Little girl,he said very gravely,"who has been putting all this into your head? |
39340 | My wee man,she said,"what have they done to you?" |
39340 | No, Prissy,he said wonderingly,"but what do you know about such things?" |
39340 | No,said Toady Lion sadly;"do n''t you know? |
39340 | Now speak up, Soulis,said General Smith;"I ask you would it be dasht- mean?" |
39340 | Now, what''s all this? |
39340 | One lump or two? |
39340 | Say, chaps, did you hear her? 39340 So am I,"retorted Napoleon Smith sternly;"if I was n''t, do you think I would listen at all to your beastly old poetry? |
39340 | Sodjers-- where?--what? |
39340 | Sulky, hey? |
39340 | Thank you,he said;"are you sure that the children are out?" |
39340 | Then why does n''t_ it_ say so? |
39340 | Then,answered Prissy,"would n''t it be all the nicer of you if you were to stop first?" |
39340 | They ca n''t be at the castle all the time,said Billy;"why not let my mates and me go in before they get there? |
39340 | This little boy wants to go on the island to find his brother,said the clergyman;"I suppose I may pass through your field with him?" |
39340 | WILL YE SAY NOW THAT THE CASTLE IS YOUR FATHER''S? |
39340 | Well, billies,he cried jovially,"what do you think? |
39340 | Well, little girl, what is it? 39340 Well, sir, and what is this I hear?" |
39340 | Well, what do you want? |
39340 | Well, what is it? 39340 Well, what is the meaning of this?" |
39340 | Well,said Cissy genially,"and what did you buy?" |
39340 | Well? |
39340 | Well? |
39340 | What are n''t ready? |
39340 | What are you going to do? |
39340 | What did I tell you? |
39340 | What did I understand you to say, little boy? |
39340 | What in the world does he mean? |
39340 | What is his other name? |
39340 | What is it? |
39340 | What is the matter with that boy? 39340 What now?" |
39340 | What other? |
39340 | What were you doing with my cannon? |
39340 | What''s all this, I say-- you? |
39340 | What''s that? |
39340 | What''s this-- what''s this? |
39340 | What''s''decision of character''when he''s at home? |
39340 | When they what? |
39340 | Where did you get all those nice new cannons? 39340 Who asked you to come here anyway to meddle with us? |
39340 | Who found him? |
39340 | Who''s afraid? 39340 Who''s touching your father?" |
39340 | Who''s up there? |
39340 | Who? 39340 Why did you tell the beak''s daughter your name, Bill, you blooming Johnny?" |
39340 | Why do you want to go to the castle island? |
39340 | Why is''oo so moppy? |
39340 | Why, Hugh John,she cried,"have you really come? |
39340 | Why, the same as his father of course, lass-- what else? |
39340 | Wif my half- a- crown? 39340 Will_ you_ say''I love you, Cissy''?" |
39340 | Yes, father; were you calling me, father? |
39340 | You do n''t remember that either, I suppose? |
39340 | You know that I did n''t come to spy or find out anything, do n''t you? |
39340 | A rumble of wheels, a shout from the front door--"Hugh John-- wherever can that boy have got to?" |
39340 | After all what save valour was worth living for? |
39340 | After all, what did it matter about girls? |
39340 | And he say,''What you doing there, little boy? |
39340 | Are you sure there is no mistake?" |
39340 | Besides, there are some dee- licious fruits which I have brought you; and if you will let me come in, I will make you some lovely tea?" |
39340 | Besides, who''s to wash him first off, and him in a temper like that?" |
39340 | But did General Napoleon stop to go to the schoolroom for clean ones? |
39340 | But observing no gleam of fellow- feeling in his quondam comrade''s eyes, he added somewhat lamely,"I mean how do you do, Miss-- Miss Carter?" |
39340 | But what use did they make of these god- like gifts? |
39340 | By hokey, wo n''t I take this out of him with a wicket? |
39340 | Could n''t he say grace? |
39340 | Could there indeed be such dainties in the world? |
39340 | Could this thing be? |
39340 | Could''oo be dood wif all that sand in''oo trowsies?'' |
39340 | Did Sambo not wear a red coat? |
39340 | Did n''t he remember the beginning? |
39340 | Did they play with"real- real trains,"drawn by locomotives of shining brass? |
39340 | Did ye think I was doon at Edam Cross? |
39340 | Did you ever meet them at the tuck- shop down in the town buying fourteen cheese- cakes for a shilling, as any sensible person would? |
39340 | Did you find it, or did some one give it to you?" |
39340 | Did you think it was Blythe?" |
39340 | Did''oo ever get sand in''oo trowsies, Cissy?" |
39340 | Do n''t you see he is bashful before so many people?" |
39340 | Do you hear-- you?" |
39340 | Do you hear?" |
39340 | Do you like to go to church?'' |
39340 | Do you take sugar in your tea?" |
39340 | Does''oo fink so, Cissy?" |
39340 | Drowned in the Edam Water-- killed by a chance blow in the great battle-- or simply hiding from fear of punishment and afraid to venture home? |
39340 | For how could a Justice of the Peace and a future Member of Parliament demean himself to wink? |
39340 | Had Mike or Peter? |
39340 | Had Sammy Carter? |
39340 | Has anybody told you to come to me about this?" |
39340 | He owns the town, does he? |
39340 | How do we know that you are n''t a spy?" |
39340 | How much money had you, did you say?" |
39340 | How were they to reach it? |
39340 | Hugh John-- him?" |
39340 | If that were Toady Lion''s attitude, how would it be with the enthusiastic Cissy Carter? |
39340 | Is n''t it a beauty? |
39340 | It would make him sick, Hugh John thought; but after all, what was a fellow to do? |
39340 | May I sometimes, father?" |
39340 | O- HO, JANE HOUSEMAID, WILL YOU TELL MY FATHER THE NEXT TIME I TAKE YOUR DUST SCOOP?"] |
39340 | O- ho, Jane Housemaid, will you tell my father the next time I take your dust scoop out to the sand- hole to help dig trenches? |
39340 | Of course he knew all about that, but would they join? |
39340 | Oh, our father is the owner of this property, is he? |
39340 | Oh, stone- broke,"laughed Cissy Carter, sitting down beside Toady Lion;"who taught you to say that word?" |
39340 | Oh, the dear, dear lamb that he is; and will thae auld e''en never mair rest on his bonnie face? |
39340 | Priscilla beamed gratefully upon her critic, and proceeded--"_ He rides him forth across the sand_----""Who rides whom?" |
39340 | She turned away, calling over her shoulder to Cissy,"Can I tell your fortune, pretty lady?" |
39340 | Smith?" |
39340 | Smith?" |
39340 | So no one contradicted him, and, indeed, who had a better right to know? |
39340 | That was n''t fair, was it?" |
39340 | There was yet another who rode in a mail- cart, and puckered up his face upon being addressed in a strange foreign language, as"Was- it- then? |
39340 | There-- will that satisfy you?" |
39340 | Thought you hurt, did n''t you? |
39340 | Want to get knocked endways?" |
39340 | Was Sambo not black? |
39340 | Was n''t it nice of him?" |
39340 | Were they not as gods, knowing good and evil? |
39340 | Were they not rather on the side of the Smoutchies? |
39340 | What are you doing there?" |
39340 | What business have you in our castle? |
39340 | What can I do for you?" |
39340 | What did grown- ups know anyway? |
39340 | What do ye want, callant, that ye deafen my auld lugs like that? |
39340 | What does he want with that one too?" |
39340 | What is it? |
39340 | What is the matter, Arthur George?" |
39340 | What then of Toady Lion? |
39340 | What''s the matter, Grip? |
39340 | What, then, could be clearer? |
39340 | Whatever will I say to his faither when he comes hame? |
39340 | Whatever will master say?" |
39340 | When the dust finally cleared away, Peter was found sitting astride of Prince Michael, and shouting,"Are you the general- major, or am I?" |
39340 | Where could he be? |
39340 | Where ha''e ye been, and what ha''e ye done to these twa bairns? |
39340 | Who else could have done that thing? |
39340 | Who invited you into our parks? |
39340 | Who is the youngest?" |
39340 | Whom shall I ask for if you are not about to- morrow?" |
39340 | Why ca n''t we all be nice together? |
39340 | Why should not they against the son of that Smith and his allies? |
39340 | Why should these glorious creations deign to notice him-- shining blades, shouldered arms, flashing bayonets, white pipe- clayed belts? |
39340 | Why then plunder them now? |
39340 | Will you allow me to conduct you across the policies by the shorter way? |
39340 | Will''oo forgive me?" |
39340 | Would it not be all right to split just to get Donald back?" |
39340 | Would they never end? |
39340 | You can have my ivory Prayer- book----""For keeps?" |
39340 | [ Illustration:"''WASN''T IT SPLENDID?''"] |
39340 | cried Prissy,"how could you? |
39340 | ejaculated Hugh John, doubling his fist;"did you ever hear such rot? |
39340 | he cried,"what''oo fink? |
39340 | he demanded in his quick way--"Cissy and your son been fighting?" |
39340 | roared his officer;"do n''t you know enough to salute when you speak to me? |
39340 | said his chief;"who asked for your oar? |
39340 | the herald angels sing, Glory to the new- born King, Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled._""What is''weconciled''?" |
39340 | what have you been up to-- stealing apples, eh? |
39340 | ||||_ Subject._--"Is the Pen mightier than the Sword?" |
13227 | And have you killed one yourself? |
13227 | And is it very dangerous? |
13227 | And our guests, mother-- why linger they still? 13227 And so thou hast we d a rebel, maiden?" |
13227 | And what good is life to me if I take you at your word and fly this spot? 13227 And what good shall we reap from that? |
13227 | And where is Gertrude? 13227 And wherefore should I spare you? |
13227 | And why should thy life be loveless, Wendot? |
13227 | Are both your parents dead, then? |
13227 | Art regretting that thou leavest all for me? |
13227 | Art thou a man, and claimest the blood of princes, and yet canst stoop to frighten an inoffensive child? |
13227 | Art thou daring to raise thine arm against a child, a lady, and thy father''s guest? 13227 Arthyn-- where is she? |
13227 | Brother, what ails thee? |
13227 | But we need not tell him, need we? |
13227 | Does it seem a sad thing to thee, Wendot? 13227 Dost not thou know? |
13227 | Dynevor--did you say Dynevor? 13227 Gertrude? |
13227 | Ha, Arthyn, is it thou, my child? 13227 Has he returned thither?" |
13227 | How knowest thou that? |
13227 | How long stays he, contaminating our pure air? |
13227 | How now, malapert boy? |
13227 | Howel, could she climb to the crag where we can look down upon the eyry if we helped her up the worst places? |
13227 | I would fain see these youths; said you not they were but youths, Poleyn? |
13227 | Is it a last farewell? |
13227 | Is it thus you disgrace your manhood by falling upon the defenceless, and by brawling even within hearing of your sovereign? 13227 Is my father gone?" |
13227 | Kill me not; what good would that do you or your cause? 13227 Llewelyn, Llewelyn, art mad? |
13227 | Llewelyn? 13227 O Alphonso,"she cried,"did you do it on purpose? |
13227 | Oh, who are you? 13227 Pardon? |
13227 | Say, Gertrude, shall we tell Wendot on what we have set our hearts? 13227 Say, young man, wilt thou accept this charge, and be surety for these haughty youths? |
13227 | Seest thou this deed? 13227 Shall I ever see this fair scene again?" |
13227 | Take up arms against that false traitor- kinsman of mine? 13227 Think you I would we d one whose heart was given elsewhere? |
13227 | Thinkest thou so? 13227 Thinkest thou that I will stand patiently by and hear such words? |
13227 | Thinkest thou that such tempers as those will be easily controlled? |
13227 | Wendot,whispered Joanna cautiously,"have you ever hunted a wolf in your mountains?" |
13227 | Wenwynwyn, is it thou? |
13227 | What can we do? |
13227 | What is the matter, Wendot? 13227 What is your name?" |
13227 | What knoweth our father of the matter? 13227 What means all this, Griffeth?" |
13227 | What means this, boy? |
13227 | What sayest thou? 13227 What think you of him, sweet Lady Gertrude? |
13227 | Whence came they? 13227 Where are the other boys?" |
13227 | Where is the maid, mother? |
13227 | Who are these folks? |
13227 | Who is the King of England that he should lay claim to our lands, our homage, our submission? 13227 You are not hurt, you are safe?" |
13227 | You think he will? 13227 Young man,"he said,"I know not if thou hast any memory left of the words I spake to thee when last we met at Dynevor?" |
13227 | -- does not thine own heart tell thee that one faithful heart beats for thee and thee alone? |
13227 | Am I the first to bear the, news, or has it been known before?" |
13227 | And Llewelyn and Howel, where are they? |
13227 | And how came it that our father and our guest were with thee? |
13227 | And how had he treated this act of painful submission? |
13227 | And how long purpose they to stay?" |
13227 | And how old are you, Wendot?" |
13227 | And that will be almost the same as being married, will it not? |
13227 | And what has raised this storm betwixt ye twain?" |
13227 | And when did ever bold Welshmen fall upon unarmed strangers to smite with the sword? |
13227 | And where are these gallant leaders? |
13227 | And why have they thus presented themselves unarmed at Dynevor? |
13227 | And why speakest thou of women and children?" |
13227 | And you will never forget me, will you?" |
13227 | Are there any more of you? |
13227 | Are they not even now returning? |
13227 | Are we not near in blood to Llewelyn of Wales, prince of the north? |
13227 | Art thou, then, to be the one to break her heart, ay, and thine own, too, because thou art too proud to take more than thou canst give? |
13227 | As for little Gertrude, she gazed up into the bold bright face of Wendot, and clasping his hand in hers, she said:"Am I to belong to you now? |
13227 | Brother, why dost thou hesitate? |
13227 | But could he do this? |
13227 | But if she would have stood united against the foreign foe, thinkest thou they would ever have held back? |
13227 | But tell me again, Lady Gertrude, what would be the penalty of such an act? |
13227 | But tell me, have I been wrong? |
13227 | But think you I love him less for his love to his country? |
13227 | But what brings thee out so far from home? |
13227 | But where are Llewelyn and Howel? |
13227 | But why have we come so far to give up all the peril and the sport at the last moment?" |
13227 | By what right are you here wringing our life blood from us? |
13227 | Can we do nought to bring upon us an open war, which is a thousand times better than this treacherous, hollow peace? |
13227 | Come these strangers from the north? |
13227 | Could I have done other than I have?" |
13227 | Could I leave my own brethren to languish in captivity, however honourable, when a word from me would free them? |
13227 | Did Wendot know where they were? |
13227 | Do not I know it? |
13227 | Do we make war upon harmless travellers-- women and children? |
13227 | Do you think when he has done so that he will come here and conquer you, too?" |
13227 | Do you think you could walk along the ridge now, if I were to hold you up and help you? |
13227 | Dost think that thou canst usurp his authority? |
13227 | Doth not the tie of blood as well as the call of loyalty urge us to his side? |
13227 | For is not Gertrude as our own sister in love?" |
13227 | Had he not been born and bred at Dynevor? |
13227 | Had not Wenwynwyn grown old in his father''s service? |
13227 | Had they been here already, and had they carried off the prey? |
13227 | Has she gone on to Iscennen to meet Llewelyn there?" |
13227 | Hast not thou told me a hundred times that it would get me into trouble one of these days? |
13227 | Hast thou broken away from his controlling hand? |
13227 | Hast thou ever thought of such a thing?" |
13227 | Hast thou not come to bid us draw the sword, and wrest our rightful inheritance from the hand of the spoiler and alien?" |
13227 | Have I not lost all that makes life worth living? |
13227 | Have I not seen thee with her times and again? |
13227 | Have we not ever been brothers in all things?" |
13227 | Have we not learned to love them for thy sake and their own? |
13227 | Have we not proved it? |
13227 | Have you any sisters?" |
13227 | He had paid him homage for his lands: did that act bind him to obedience at all costs? |
13227 | He would rise from his sickbed to find-- what? |
13227 | How could I resist? |
13227 | How couldst thou?" |
13227 | How dare you thus insult me? |
13227 | How did our parents receive them? |
13227 | How many men canst thou summon to thy banner, and when can we be on the march for the south? |
13227 | How shall I thank thee for the boon?" |
13227 | How then can it be possible to trust you in the future? |
13227 | How?" |
13227 | If my spirit could not brook such control, how much less could theirs?" |
13227 | If that were so, thinkest thou not that nought but open war would lie before us?" |
13227 | Is he changed from what he was when last you saw him, ere the sickness had fastened upon him?" |
13227 | Is it an errand of peace? |
13227 | Is it meet that she should suffer so cruelly simply because her father has left her well endowed? |
13227 | Is my father angry with them still? |
13227 | Is not that so?" |
13227 | It may be even yet-- for see, is not that bright sky, illumined by those quivering shafts of light athwart our path, an omen of good? |
13227 | Knowest thou the king''s seal? |
13227 | Llewelyn and Howel exchanged glances; and the former asked eagerly,"And the maid?" |
13227 | Moreover, has he not given us a prince of our own, born upon Welsh soil, sprung of a kingly race? |
13227 | Nothing can greatly hurt us now, for are we not one in bonds that no man may dissever?" |
13227 | Now, therefore, he looked eagerly at his mother and said:"What is it he wishes to say Canst thou not tell me thyself?" |
13227 | O Joanna, when shall it be?" |
13227 | O Vychan, Vychan, have not I always said that thou shouldest live to call thyself Lord of Dynevor again?" |
13227 | Or were they only on their way, and had he come in time to thwart their purpose yet? |
13227 | Prince Alphonso, you are the king''s son; will you pardon Wendot his trespass, and stand his friend with your royal father? |
13227 | Rememberest thou the Lady Arthyn, who was with us at Rhuddlan when thou wast there before? |
13227 | Saw I not fear, distrust, and hatred in every line of that smooth face? |
13227 | Say they not that the English tyrant is on our borders now, summoning him to pay the homage he repudiates with scorn? |
13227 | Say, wilt thou still keep thy neck beneath the yoke, or wilt thou do battle like a warrior for liberty and independence? |
13227 | Shall we men of Wales give right cause to the English to call us murderers, traitors, cowards? |
13227 | Shall we repine at leaving the beauties of earth, when the pearly gates of Paradise are opening before our very eyes? |
13227 | So you are a student as well as a soldier? |
13227 | Spakest thou to him of Llewelyn and Howel?" |
13227 | THE BROTHERS"What is that you dare to say?" |
13227 | Tell me, boy, what can I do for thee when I tell this tale to my lord of England? |
13227 | Tell us, has not that hour come? |
13227 | The boy could have shouted aloud in his triumph and joy; but he held his peace, for who could tell what peril might not lie in the way? |
13227 | Then how canst thou hold back, when thou hast confessed thine own love and learned that hers is thine? |
13227 | There was something of sorrow and reproach in his glance as he said gently:"Griffeth, can it really be thou? |
13227 | Think you that I have aught to reproach him with, when I know how he was forced into rebellion by others? |
13227 | Think you that he is happy in the possession of what he sold his soul to gain? |
13227 | Those are not hard names, are they?" |
13227 | Thou hast no secrets for me which they may not hear?" |
13227 | Thou wilt not be grieved to be left with us for a while, little one? |
13227 | Thou wilt not forget me, Wendot?" |
13227 | Thou wilt not pine in his absence?" |
13227 | Understandest thou thus much?" |
13227 | Was his word of honour in any wise pledged to Edward? |
13227 | Was it greatly to be wondered at that their hearts burned with an unquenchable hatred? |
13227 | Was it possible he had forgotten the half- pledge once given him? |
13227 | Was not every son of Wales bound to his country''s cause at such a time? |
13227 | Was that fear or shame or pride?" |
13227 | We could do that, could we not, and come back with the young eaglets in our hands? |
13227 | Wendot, why do you look like that? |
13227 | Were you not all together?" |
13227 | What are lands and gold to a woman if her lover share them not? |
13227 | What better dost thou expect for thyself and thy lord than a lodging in the lowest dungeon of the keep?" |
13227 | What boon hast thou to ask of him or of me? |
13227 | What boy does not like the thought of being looked upon as his father''s substitute? |
13227 | What has brought thee here alone and unannounced? |
13227 | What have you done that we of Iscennen should look upon you as other than a bitter foe? |
13227 | What is it thou fearest? |
13227 | What is life to a man without honour? |
13227 | What kuowest thou, Griffeth?" |
13227 | What need of farther words? |
13227 | What right hath she or any one besides to speak of that tyrant and usurper in such tones?" |
13227 | What think you of this? |
13227 | What thinkest thou of a troth plight with the little maid?" |
13227 | What use is life to one so lonely and bereft? |
13227 | When the party moved on again she stole up to Wendot''s side, and said as she glanced into his troubled face:"He did not mean it? |
13227 | When was not Dynevor in the van when her country called on her? |
13227 | Whence has come this bitter change in thy feelings? |
13227 | Where are Llewelyn and Howell and what have they done with the maid? |
13227 | Where can they have taken her so early?" |
13227 | Where should I fly? |
13227 | Who knows but that thou and she will not yet reign again in the halls of Dynevor?" |
13227 | Who knows the way to his favourite haunts? |
13227 | Who knows where the boys have gone this morning? |
13227 | Why did not our good fellows fall upon them with the sword or drive them back the way they came? |
13227 | Why do you get out that thing? |
13227 | Why dost thou hesitate? |
13227 | Why dost thou ponder still? |
13227 | Why should I not stamp the miserable life out of you as you lie grovelling at my feet? |
13227 | Why shouldst thou come forth with us? |
13227 | Why were they received? |
13227 | Why, does not he himself pay homage to the King of France for the lands he holds in his kingdom?" |
13227 | Will he visit this rash deed upon my brother''s head? |
13227 | Will the Prince of Dynevor be the man to bring ruin upon a noble cause, by banding with the alien oppressor against his own brethren? |
13227 | Will you raise a tumult within hearing of his private apartments? |
13227 | Wilt thou not heed that call? |
13227 | Would he take care of her now, and bring her safe home? |
13227 | Would it have been a sweet or a bitter thing to have felt himself pledged to a daughter of England? |
13227 | Would you have me stain my name for the sake of saving my life? |
13227 | You are not afraid?" |
13227 | You are not going to fight?" |
13227 | You will not take their lives, sweet sire?" |
13227 | Your worthy wife will not refuse me, I trow?" |
13227 | and what are their names?" |
13227 | and what do they know? |
13227 | and what is Wendot doing, who was to act as guardian toward his younger brethren? |
13227 | and why didst thou hail us as if we were wanted?" |
13227 | asked Wendot;"and whence come they? |
13227 | come so quickly? |
13227 | cried Wendot suddenly,"have I done wrong in this thing? |
13227 | do n''t you know me?" |
13227 | he will not do it again?" |
13227 | is not that the sound of a horn? |
13227 | or a series of petty feuds for supremacy, which went far to keep the land in a state of semi- barbarism? |
13227 | or have they been punished and forgiven?" |
13227 | said young Griffeth quickly;"is not our father lord of Dynevor? |
13227 | what should I do? |
13227 | what was that? |
13227 | what was that? |
13227 | why dost thou falter? |
43126 | A boy,she exclaimed,"what kind of a boy? |
43126 | And Ruby? |
43126 | And did I plan to drown Mavis, my own darling little sister? |
43126 | And have you never seen the beautiful lady again? |
43126 | And how are we to go home? |
43126 | And oh, Ruby, do look up at the sky-- isn''t it lovely? 43126 And sometimes you''d like to pat him to sleep, would n''t you?" |
43126 | And the cross? |
43126 | And what can I do to be able to see her? 43126 And what if it is the mermaids?" |
43126 | And when I''m in bed, will you stay beside me, Mavis? 43126 And when you did wake up it was morning, I suppose, and it had all been a dream?" |
43126 | And why did n''t you come back to me in the grotto? 43126 And you were n''t drowned, darling? |
43126 | And you''ll tell us stories after tea, cousin Hortensia, wo n''t you? |
43126 | And you''ll tell us stories, wo n''t you, dear good cousin? |
43126 | And, oh Ruby,she said, as her sister and she were going slowly upstairs,"_ do n''t_ you wish we might sleep in the turret- room?" |
43126 | And-- about Winfried? |
43126 | Are little boats alive? 43126 Are n''t you sorry, Winfried, that you ca n''t stay here altogether? |
43126 | Are you sure it''s safe? |
43126 | Are you sure you can find your way? 43126 Are you sure you did n''t both fall asleep on the shore and dream it all? |
43126 | Are you the fairy in the turret? 43126 Are you there?" |
43126 | Are-- are you a mermaid, or a-- that other thing? |
43126 | Bertrand is behind you, I suppose? |
43126 | Bertrand,she said,"we are going to bed now; do you mind being left alone for the night?" |
43126 | But do n''t you miss the sea things? |
43126 | But if-- if-- they were to hurt or frighten old Adam or Winfried? |
43126 | But might we really come to see your grandfather some day, do you think? |
43126 | But the room looks dingy enough, does n''t it? 43126 But this weather can not last, and you are not cold at night, are you?" |
43126 | But where''s the sea for it to sail on? |
43126 | But wo n''t he miss you terribly? |
43126 | But you can not see me? 43126 But-- they are rather frightening too, do n''t you think?" |
43126 | Called,repeated Miss Hortensia,"why did n''t you_ go_?" |
43126 | Can I? |
43126 | Can it be father? 43126 Can-- can she have landed and dragged the boat ashore somehow?" |
43126 | Could it have been she who put some on the terrace at the castle for us? |
43126 | Could it have been true? |
43126 | Dear princess,she went on,"could n''t you speak to her-- the way you do to me? |
43126 | Did he come when baby was ill? |
43126 | Did he get better? |
43126 | Did n''t you say you and Mavis heard singing the day you were here before-- at the wizard''s cottage, I mean? |
43126 | Did you know, Mavis, that he is going ever so far away? 43126 Did you speak, my dear?" |
43126 | Did_ you_ make them? |
43126 | Do n''t they just? |
43126 | Do you keep the boat here, Winfried? |
43126 | Do you know who he is? |
43126 | Do you mean that Mavis may be drowned or drowning? |
43126 | Do you mean you and me, Bertrand? 43126 Do you see anything?" |
43126 | Do you see, Ruby,she said,"that all the flowers in this garden are our wild flowers, though they are such beauties?" |
43126 | Do you think,she whispered,"do you think, Mavis, that he has seen_ her_, and that that''s it?" |
43126 | Does he indeed? |
43126 | Does she let you do whatever you like? |
43126 | Hast thou seen that lordly castle, That castle by the sea? 43126 Have n''t you been dreadfully lonely without us all this time, dear cousin?" |
43126 | Have you got it? |
43126 | Have you lived here a long time, then? |
43126 | How are we going? |
43126 | How are you, Joan? 43126 How can I bear it?" |
43126 | How can that be? |
43126 | How did you come home, Ruby? |
43126 | How did_ you_? |
43126 | How is your gran different from others? |
43126 | How many days ago was it? |
43126 | I am sure you are very much obliged? |
43126 | If you know so much about it, why do you keep teasing to have it told again? |
43126 | Is it old Adam? 43126 Is it true that there''s something queer about him?" |
43126 | Is n''t she stupid? |
43126 | Is n''t the door locked? |
43126 | Is she a lady, or-- or a fairy, or what is she, if she''s not a mermaid? |
43126 | Is there a current hereabouts, Ruby? |
43126 | Is there anything we can do for you, my poor boy? |
43126 | Is there anything we can do for your grandfather? |
43126 | Is this my own frock? |
43126 | Is-- is she a mermaid? |
43126 | It is n''t a bit slippery now, is it? |
43126 | Mavis, Mavis,she called out every now and then,"are you there darling? |
43126 | Mavis, dear little Mavis, Mavis darling, where are you? |
43126 | Mavis, my dear, what is it? 43126 Mavis, why are you so cross?" |
43126 | Mavis,said Ruby eagerly, pleased to find something to talk about,"have you heard about Winfried? |
43126 | Mavis,said the soft yet clear and thrilling voice,"you see me, my child?" |
43126 | Mavis,was the first word she whispered;"Mavis, are you alive? |
43126 | May I go now, please? |
43126 | May I tell cousin Hortensia? |
43126 | May n''t I come to fetch the young ladies? |
43126 | May we go up into the turret- rooms and everywhere? |
43126 | My child,she said,"do they not_ know_ it would be wrong to do such a thing?" |
43126 | My dear, are you very tired? 43126 My dear,"said Miss Hortensia,"do you know you have not taken off your cap yet? |
43126 | My goodness, are you_ crying_? |
43126 | No, it was n''t like that,said Mavis;"it was more like--""More like what?" |
43126 | Now, let''s see-- where did Ruby say she''d left her cross? 43126 Oh, dear Princess Forget- me- not,"she said to her self,"why do n''t you make them see you, and understand how naughty they are?" |
43126 | Oh, it''s you, is it? |
43126 | Oh, these are out of your garden,said Ruby;"how do you manage to make them grow so well and so late in the year?" |
43126 | Oh,said Ruby disappointed,"then we are to go home?" |
43126 | Queer? |
43126 | Really, Bertrand, my dear,began Miss Hortensia,"what have you brought that wet seaweed here for? |
43126 | Ruby, how could you be so thoughtless? 43126 Ruby,"said a voice,"can you hear me?" |
43126 | Shall we go into the house? |
43126 | She told you the west turret was her own room, did n''t she? 43126 She_ will_ come, you''ll see,"said the boy,"and even if she does n''t, what does it matter? |
43126 | Stop and listen-- hush-- there now, do you hear them ringing? 43126 Suppose the horrid things had bewitched the boat, is that any reason for not showing them up? |
43126 | Then how could I stop them? 43126 Then why do n''t people like him?" |
43126 | Then, where is she? |
43126 | There now,said Bertrand, considerably surprised, to tell the truth, at his own success,"did n''t I tell you I could row?" |
43126 | Try, Mavis, can you turn it? |
43126 | Was it only_ this_ afternoon we went? |
43126 | Was it the pain again? |
43126 | Was our mother like us, Mr Adam? |
43126 | We came out to catch them, did n''t we? 43126 We heard them-- don''t you remember?" |
43126 | Well, here we are at the cove; what are we to do now? |
43126 | Well, why do you laugh? |
43126 | Well,said Ruby,"did you shut your eyes then, or what did you do?" |
43126 | Were n''t you frightened? |
43126 | Were you, dear? |
43126 | What are you gaping at, Mavis? |
43126 | What are you here for? |
43126 | What are you so slow about? |
43126 | What can be the matter with my eyes? |
43126 | What do you mean by that? |
43126 | What do you mean, Ruby? |
43126 | What do you mean? |
43126 | What do you say? |
43126 | What does it matter about old rubbishing grandfathers and stuff like that? |
43126 | What harm does it do? |
43126 | What is it? 43126 What is it?" |
43126 | What was that? |
43126 | What will gran think? |
43126 | What will they do now? 43126 What''s the matter with you? |
43126 | What''s your name? |
43126 | What''s, through there? |
43126 | What? |
43126 | What? |
43126 | When is he coming? |
43126 | Where is Winfried? |
43126 | Which way shall we go? |
43126 | Who can it be? |
43126 | Who can that be? |
43126 | Who could it be that spoke to me so strangely? |
43126 | Who do you mean by` grandfather''? |
43126 | Who ever told you she wore blue, Mavis? |
43126 | Who showed it to you? |
43126 | Who would have thought,said Mavis,"that we should ever be sorry to see him go? |
43126 | Who''s there? 43126 Why ca n''t you give it me now?" |
43126 | Why did n''t he? 43126 Why did n''t you ask me? |
43126 | Why did n''t you come to the garden side? 43126 Why did n''t you come with us?" |
43126 | Why not, pray? |
43126 | Will you sit here? |
43126 | Winfried, do you hear? 43126 You saw her?" |
43126 | You speak as if there are no such things as mermaids; do you not think there are? |
43126 | You will come to see us soon again, wo n''t you, Winfried? |
43126 | You wo n''t, wo n''t you? |
43126 | You''re not frightened of a little bit of the dark, are you? 43126 You''ve had no more headaches, I hope, Miss Mavis? |
43126 | _ Are n''t_ they darlings? 43126 _ Can_ they?" |
43126 | _ Me_ make you come, Ruby? |
43126 | _ Now_,said Ruby, half triumphant and half frightened, in a whisper to Mavis,"now, can you say he''s not a wizard? |
43126 | _ Oh_,he screamed;"_ oh_, what is it? |
43126 | _ What_? 43126 A place where seaweeds and corals and all the loveliest sea things are taken care of, like the wild flowers here? |
43126 | A soft whirr and rush-- where were they? |
43126 | And Mavis, following his eyes, answered,"Yes-- there''s-- oh, there''s a little boat drifting in-- a tiny boat-- is it drifting? |
43126 | And aloud she exclaimed:"My darling, where have you been? |
43126 | And can they plan and feel?" |
43126 | And the boy you met-- has he come to take care of the old man?" |
43126 | And the first thought that flashed through the little girl was,"How could I bear her to look at me if I had been naughty?" |
43126 | And were you afraid up there in the dark all by yourself?" |
43126 | And what about Mavis?" |
43126 | And what are you doing to my eyes?" |
43126 | And what lovely blue ribbon my hair is tied with; and my hands are so white and clean Mavis, did the princess dress me while I was asleep?" |
43126 | And where is Winfried?" |
43126 | And why did you hide yourself up here, Bertrand, instead of coming to me?" |
43126 | And, oh Ruby, is n''t it lovely to think that we may go sometimes to Forget- me- not Land?" |
43126 | And-- oh, just look, Mavis, what a big fire he must have; do you see the red of it in the window?" |
43126 | Are n''t you going to take us by the path between the rocks, down below the field?" |
43126 | Are we out of the world?" |
43126 | Are you both quite well?" |
43126 | Are you not drowned, darling? |
43126 | Are you sure it is n''t yours, Mavis? |
43126 | Are you sure it will?" |
43126 | At least;"and as she raised herself a little she looked round her doubtfully,"at least, not unless this is heaven? |
43126 | At the kitchen- door, did you say, Ulrica? |
43126 | BEGINNINGS? |
43126 | Bertrand, do you think you can manage to get down to your own room?" |
43126 | But is it your boat?" |
43126 | But you wo n''t go far into them, will you, Bertrand? |
43126 | Ca n''t you jump into the water and drag it back?" |
43126 | Ca n''t you make her come to take it away? |
43126 | Ca n''t you trust her to me?" |
43126 | Can you find your way all down the stair alone, Mavis? |
43126 | Did cousin Hortensia keep him for anything?" |
43126 | Did n''t we come round by here, Mavis?" |
43126 | Did you bring it, Winfried? |
43126 | Did you ever hear of him, cousin? |
43126 | Did you know, cousin, that there was a short way home from the sea- shore near old Adam''s cottage? |
43126 | Do n''t you know there''s-- there''s a current hereabouts?" |
43126 | Do n''t you know your mother is our father''s sister?" |
43126 | Do n''t you love playing tricks on people-- people who set themselves up, you know, and preach at you?" |
43126 | Do n''t you think we might run out and see?" |
43126 | Do you know the old man who lives up there?" |
43126 | Do you know who I am?" |
43126 | Do you know, I believe I shall be a sailor too? |
43126 | Do you think father will take me when I''m grown up, cousin Hortensia?" |
43126 | Had Forget- me- not suddenly turned into the old woman who goes up to brush away the cobwebs in the sky? |
43126 | Had she been asleep? |
43126 | Had the fairy lady wrapped her round in her cloak of mist and flown with her to the castle? |
43126 | Have you been working hard at your lessons?" |
43126 | Have you got that boat of yours ready?" |
43126 | Have you never seen her there?" |
43126 | He''d like it; besides, you say yourself you think he''s a fairy boy, so why should he be afraid of fairies?" |
43126 | Her talking was charming, her smile was bewitching, her grave sad looks were like solemn music-- what words have we left to describe her laugh? |
43126 | How could they ever get up these stones?" |
43126 | How do we get to the cottage? |
43126 | How_ did_ you get back?" |
43126 | I can fancy that,"he went on dreamily,"her eyes are a little like the sea, do n''t you think, Mavis?" |
43126 | I may ask you, may I not?" |
43126 | I mean to say, what would be the good of stopping them, if they know already it is wrong?" |
43126 | I wish_ I_ could have got a cut at them-- what are horses for?" |
43126 | I wonder how long he has lived here?" |
43126 | I wonder if possibly I shall see her ever up here? |
43126 | I wonder if she only comes in the night? |
43126 | If so, how had she got home? |
43126 | Is everything going wrong at the first trial?" |
43126 | Is n''t it nonsense, cousin Hortensia? |
43126 | Is n''t it_ very_ queer we never heard of that path before?" |
43126 | Is n''t that a good name? |
43126 | Is not that something to look forward to? |
43126 | Is old Adam a wizard?" |
43126 | Is the princess here? |
43126 | It seemed a long time since Winfried told her and Ruby to wait for him in the grotto; and where was Ruby? |
43126 | Listen,"and he drew her down to him,"do you think perhaps she''ll come again and take away the pain? |
43126 | Look out to sea-- isn''t it splendid?" |
43126 | Mavis, would you be glad for me to be a sailor?" |
43126 | May n''t I go and speak to him, cousin?" |
43126 | Much more interesting than the castle-- indeed, what would any castle or any house be without them? |
43126 | Oh Mavis, will it ever go? |
43126 | Oh dear princess, will you stop them?" |
43126 | Oh, Mavis, Mavis, whatever shall I do?" |
43126 | Oh, Ruby, you ca n''t say you like him?" |
43126 | Oh, cousin Hortensia, we have had_ such_ adventures, and last of all, what_ do_ you think? |
43126 | Oh, where has it gone to?" |
43126 | Shall we put our fingers in our ears, Bertrand?" |
43126 | She was a little girl then, and now she is quite old, and you look as young as-- as--""As who or what?" |
43126 | She was dressed all in white, was n''t she?" |
43126 | She was feeling tired-- and--_was_ it a dream? |
43126 | She_ may_ have crept on shore, and be lying somewhere among those big stones; and if not, ca n''t your precious wizard friends look after her? |
43126 | Some say he''s friends with the mermaids, and that they come to see him-- is that true?" |
43126 | Surely she had been asleep-- for-- was she asleep still? |
43126 | Then she said--"What is it you are afraid of Ruby doing-- Ruby and Bertrand?" |
43126 | Then up, up-- dear, dear, where_ were_ they off to? |
43126 | There now, did you ever look neater or nicer in your life?" |
43126 | There, Ruby-- look-- there he comes; do you see him coming up that little hill? |
43126 | Was it grandfather you meant when you said he was queer?" |
43126 | Was it the reflection from the sky? |
43126 | Well when am I to have something to eat?" |
43126 | What are you looking for?" |
43126 | What are you thinking of?" |
43126 | What could it be? |
43126 | What do you think has become of her?" |
43126 | What is it all about? |
43126 | What shall I do? |
43126 | What were all the adventures you met with?" |
43126 | What will they do? |
43126 | What''s the matter, Ulrica?" |
43126 | Where is he hurt? |
43126 | Which way shall we go, Mavis?" |
43126 | Who are you? |
43126 | Who is it?" |
43126 | Who knows when you may have such a chance again?" |
43126 | Who''s there? |
43126 | Why did she not come back? |
43126 | Why did you, Joan? |
43126 | Why do you repeat my words, and why do n''t you say` Miss,''or` My Lady?'' |
43126 | Why had she taken such a hatred to Winfried and his grandfather, especially since Bertrand''s arrival? |
43126 | Will my eyes ever feel the same again?" |
43126 | Would n''t you like to give your dear Winfried a posy of them?" |
43126 | Would you, cousin Hortensia?" |
43126 | You have n''t got any in the boat, I suppose?" |
43126 | You should n''t have let me come out here, Ruby?" |
43126 | You think it''s all your wonderful cleverness that got the boat round, do you, Mavis?" |
43126 | You were wishing for wings-- isn''t this as good as wings?" |
43126 | You wo n''t be tired will you, dear cousin? |
43126 | ` Are you a fairy?'' |
43126 | about his going to be a real sailor?" |
43126 | ca n''t you answer?" |
43126 | exclaimed Mavis, looking startled,"you do n''t mean that you are going to play him any tricks?" |
43126 | exclaimed Miss Hortensia in surprise,"what does the child mean?" |
43126 | said Ruby,"are we down below the world? |
43126 | said Ruby,--and it must be allowed that goodness is a prettier word than rubbish,--"how in the world did that boat come here? |
43126 | she exclaimed,"I''ve given you a toss up, have n''t I? |
43126 | she exclaimed,"did you see it? |
43126 | she exclaimed;"will it take us straight home? |
43126 | what is it?" |
43126 | who are you?" |
10718 | A lot that would be useful to you, eh? |
10718 | A remarkable discovery, eh? |
10718 | A''? |
10718 | Ah,laughed the old gentleman a trifle uneasily,"and so you''ve discovered the truth at last, eh?" |
10718 | And I suppose he''s just as devoted to her as ever-- eh? |
10718 | And am I to take it that you really do love me, after all? |
10718 | And for ever, eh? |
10718 | And he is your friend? 10718 And how are matters in Paris?" |
10718 | And how does suspicion attach to the girl''s lover? |
10718 | And if the girl really knows? |
10718 | And is that the only reason you wish to meet me in secret? |
10718 | And only you yourself suspect the truth? |
10718 | And pray what is that? |
10718 | And she broke the seals? |
10718 | And suppose it were discovered? |
10718 | And the girl? |
10718 | And there are noises heard there the same as at Hetzendorf, you say? |
10718 | And they''re gossiping as usual, eh? |
10718 | And what about Walter? |
10718 | And what is that? |
10718 | And what is the future without money? 10718 And what need you fear when you have me as your friend?" |
10718 | And what would the world say of me, her stepmother, if it were known that I had done such a thing? |
10718 | And what''s occurring in Paris? |
10718 | And when, pray, has it failed? 10718 And who, pray, Mr. Flockart, makes this allegation against my father?" |
10718 | And yet you are not going to the ball, Gabrielle, eh? |
10718 | And you still have the translations? |
10718 | And you will dare to speak, and place yourself in a ridiculous position, you mean? |
10718 | And you will do it? |
10718 | Are not Flockart and mademoiselle also good friends? |
10718 | At night what do you do with it? |
10718 | But I wonder, Flockart, if I might take you at your word, and ask you to do me a favour? 10718 But can not a trap be laid to secure the thief before he approaches the people in Russia?" |
10718 | But did you really hear them? 10718 But for your wife''s sake?" |
10718 | But how are we to get money? |
10718 | But how are you? 10718 But how can I act?" |
10718 | But if he did, Walter, you would n''t believe him, would you? |
10718 | But in a case like this, when you are worried and excited, as you are at this moment, why not confide in me and allow me to help you? |
10718 | But in this case, how do you account for that report falling into the hands of the people in Athens? 10718 But the girl?" |
10718 | But the match would be an advantageous one-- wouldn''t it? |
10718 | But there is a legend which is supposed to account for them, is there not, dad? 10718 But we are not enemies-- I mean we will not be enemies as we have been, shall we?" |
10718 | But what action of his can you fear? 10718 But what does it all mean?" |
10718 | But what does she know? 10718 But what have you to fear, little one?" |
10718 | But what is the secret, Sir Henry? |
10718 | But what? |
10718 | But while we keep Krail at arm''s length, as we are doing, what have we to fear? |
10718 | But why are you so secret in all your actions? |
10718 | But why do n''t you listen to reason, Gabrielle? |
10718 | But why does Lady Heyburn go out of her way to throw cold water upon you and all your works? |
10718 | But why should n''t I know? |
10718 | But why should we meet in secret like this, when everybody knows of our engagement? |
10718 | But why? |
10718 | But you are not really going? |
10718 | But you know-- I mean you''ve heard the legend, have n''t you? |
10718 | But you''ll let me have the key of the cabinet, wo n''t you, dad? |
10718 | But you''ve made inquiry? |
10718 | But, after all, can not one very often trace the same legend through the folklore of various countries? 10718 But, my dear fellow,"exclaimed the blind man,"why do you suggest such a thing?" |
10718 | By whom? |
10718 | By whom? |
10718 | Ca n''t you sing something in English, Gabrielle? 10718 Can you doubt of my great, great love for you? |
10718 | Cotton, or steel, or soap, or some other domestic necessity, I suppose? |
10718 | Could n''t we somehow watch and see where he hides the safe- key? 10718 Dad,"she cried suddenly,"do I not know all about your affairs already? |
10718 | Dad,she faltered, advancing towards him and placing her soft, tender hand upon his shoulder,"wo n''t you listen to reason? |
10718 | Did I not tell you often that, from her, we had all to fear? |
10718 | Did anyone else hear them? |
10718 | Did he express a wish to see me? |
10718 | Do n''t my father and mother both know that we love each other? 10718 Do n''t you recollect our talk at your house in London two years ago, soon after you came back from school? |
10718 | Do you actually refuse, then, to leave this dismal hole? |
10718 | Do you allege, then, that Lady Heyburn is privy to all this? |
10718 | Do you call placing me in peril nothing? |
10718 | Do you deny that strange noises are heard there when there is so much evidence in the affirmative? |
10718 | Do you know this neighbourhood? |
10718 | Do you regret the end of that woman-- you know whom I mean? |
10718 | Do you think I too am blind? |
10718 | Does Walter really wish me to return? |
10718 | Does she know I''m here? |
10718 | Does the baron know? |
10718 | Done? |
10718 | Eh? |
10718 | Examined them? |
10718 | Fearless? 10718 Ford was very trustworthy, was he not?" |
10718 | From what? |
10718 | Gabrielle is at Glencardine, I suppose? |
10718 | Gabrielle,he said in a low, intense voice,"why are n''t you open and frank with me as you once used to be? |
10718 | Has any one actually heard them? |
10718 | Has anyone else ever tried to glean information from you? |
10718 | Has he brought back her ladyship? |
10718 | Has no one else been able to open your safe and examine its contents? |
10718 | Has she a lover? |
10718 | Has she gone? |
10718 | Have I not already told you that the reason I''m here is to crave your forgiveness? 10718 Have we not often discussed them? |
10718 | Have you not often tried, and failed? |
10718 | Have you the magnifying- glass, dear? 10718 He still believes in me, eh?" |
10718 | He threatened you? |
10718 | He told you that? |
10718 | He wishes to see me? |
10718 | Heyburn the blind man? |
10718 | How are we to do it? |
10718 | How can I tell you? |
10718 | How can we tell? 10718 How can you prove that she knows nothing?" |
10718 | How could I risk being ignominiously kicked out of Glencardine as a spy? |
10718 | How could a poor devil like myself ever aspire to the hand of the daughter of the Baron de Hetzendorf? 10718 How did it happen?" |
10718 | How did the girl manage to return to Glencardine? |
10718 | How do you know he has n''t cleared himself of the suspicion? 10718 How do you know that the documents are stolen?" |
10718 | How do you know that the scandal was started by her? |
10718 | How do you know that your action the other night has not aroused her suspicions? |
10718 | How do you know that? |
10718 | How should I know? |
10718 | How? |
10718 | How? |
10718 | I suppose he''s very wealthy? |
10718 | I suppose they throw a good deal of light upon the history of the Grahams and the actions of the great Lord Glencardine? |
10718 | I suppose you''ve already examined the ruins thoroughly, eh? |
10718 | I wonder what he would say if he-- well, if he knew just a little of the truth, of what happened that day at Chantilly? |
10718 | I''ve felt that was the case all along, yet I----"Yet what? |
10718 | If he prefers the society of that chit of a girl of his to mine, how can I possibly help it? 10718 If you knew who it was who deliberately blinded you, why did n''t you prosecute him?" |
10718 | If you really are bent upon providing the halfpenny newspapers with a fresh sensation, pray let me know in plenty of time, wo n''t you? |
10718 | If-- if that man ever makes an allegation against me, you wo n''t believe him? |
10718 | Is he still there? |
10718 | Is it because I have annoyed you, that you perhaps think I am not keeping faith with you? 10718 Is it really the truth?" |
10718 | Is it the truth? |
10718 | Is she also your friend? |
10718 | Is the matter so very serious, dad? |
10718 | Is the mother wicked, then? |
10718 | Is there anything concerning the mysterious fate of Cardinal Setoun within Glencardine? |
10718 | May I dine with you, dad? |
10718 | May not he be the instigator? |
10718 | My dear Winnie,he said,"what''s the use of discussing such an old and threadbare theme? |
10718 | My dear child, what do you mean? 10718 Not for Walter Murie''s sake?" |
10718 | Not-- not if the charge he made against me was a terrible one-- a-- a disgraceful one? |
10718 | Of course you are going? |
10718 | Of what? |
10718 | Oh, Flockart has been asking you, has he? |
10718 | Oh, father, what are you saying? |
10718 | Oh, he''s a mysterious person, is he? |
10718 | Perhaps you''re disappointed over a new frock or something, eh? |
10718 | Pray, what can he suspect? |
10718 | Shall I put the casts into your collection, dad? |
10718 | Shall we try? |
10718 | She defied you-- eh? |
10718 | So you defy me to speak? |
10718 | Suppose I had, in retaliation, spoken the truth? |
10718 | Surely it could not have placed either of you in any greater danger than you are in already? |
10718 | Surely my own daughter can not be my enemy? |
10718 | Surely you can repose confidence in me? |
10718 | Surely your English laws do not allow thieves to go unpunished? 10718 Suspect what?" |
10718 | Tell me, Walter,he said at last,"what kind of place is Glencardine Castle? |
10718 | Tell me, child, what is troubling you? |
10718 | Tell me, child,repeated Sir Henry at length,"what was it that upset you just now?" |
10718 | Tell me,she urged anxiously,"what did he say concerning myself?" |
10718 | The Baron transacts his business there, eh? |
10718 | The Whispers-- eh, Goslin? |
10718 | The clerks will speak, wo n''t they? |
10718 | The truth about what? |
10718 | Then I''m to understand that you refuse my proffered assistance? |
10718 | Then how are we to make the_ coup_? |
10718 | Then how do you now intend to act? |
10718 | Then meetings of Frohnmeyer, Volkonski, and the rest were held here in secret sometimes? |
10718 | Then other people have heard them, eh? |
10718 | Then popular superstition points to the fact that anyone who accidentally acts as eavesdropper is doomed to death, eh? 10718 Then there is no little boy suffering from scarlet- fever?" |
10718 | Then they''re regarded as a bad omen to those who overhear them? |
10718 | Then what is meant by my safe being open? |
10718 | Then why did you make that deliberate attempt upon my life at Fotheringhay? |
10718 | Then why did you write breaking off your engagement? |
10718 | Then why do you treat me like this? |
10718 | Then why not apply for a warrant for his arrest? |
10718 | Then you have enemies? |
10718 | Then you know Sir Henry well? |
10718 | Then you really intend to act vindictively? |
10718 | Then, as far as you are aware, nobody has ever had possession of your key-- not even mademoiselle your daughter? |
10718 | Then, what is the cause? |
10718 | There are stories about her, eh? |
10718 | Therefore, why discuss it? |
10718 | To whom do you allege I have exposed your affairs? |
10718 | Until what? |
10718 | Was his name Edgar Hamilton-- my friend? |
10718 | Was she pretty? |
10718 | Was that not injudicious? 10718 Was the revelation of your financial dealings made in Paris, do you know?" |
10718 | We have been betrayed, eh? 10718 We shall, I fear, never make it, unless----""Unless what?" |
10718 | We were just about to look at those seals Professor Moyes sent you to- day, were n''t we? 10718 Well, my dear Krail,"exclaimed Flockart, after they had shaken hands and stood together leaning upon the sea- wall,"you got my wire in Huntingdon? |
10718 | Well, suppose the worst happened, and it were discovered? |
10718 | Well, they do n''t; so why worry your head, dear, over a mere fable? 10718 Well, what has happened? |
10718 | Well, what''s to be done? |
10718 | Well, you do n''t imagine I should be such a fool as to admit that what you said was true, do you? |
10718 | Well,he asked defiantly, a few moments later, seeing that she had not moved,"are n''t you going?" |
10718 | Well,she asked at last, stirring uneasily in her chair,"and suppose we are not able to raise the money, what do you anticipate will be the result?" |
10718 | Well,she inquired at last in a blank voice,"and who are those others who, you believe, would be prepared to denounce me?" |
10718 | Well,she laughed,"I must therefore content myself with the originals, eh? |
10718 | Well? |
10718 | What about the girl? 10718 What are they like?" |
10718 | What are you doing there, examining my father''s papers? |
10718 | What can this secret meeting mean? 10718 What caused you to suspect?" |
10718 | What could it really mean? |
10718 | What do you make it out to be, dad? |
10718 | What do you mean by the source of dad''s income not being an honourable one? |
10718 | What do you mean? 10718 What do you mean?" |
10718 | What do you mean? |
10718 | What do you mean? |
10718 | What do you mean? |
10718 | What do you mean? |
10718 | What does that matter? 10718 What does the girl do?" |
10718 | What does this mean? |
10718 | What fool was it who, keeping him under surveillance, allowed him to slip from Paris? |
10718 | What has happened? |
10718 | What has this question-- whatever it is-- to do with you? 10718 What have you decided?" |
10718 | What have you discovered concerning him? |
10718 | What is that you say? |
10718 | What is this man saying, dearest? |
10718 | What reason? 10718 What theory? |
10718 | What was their motive? |
10718 | What will he say? |
10718 | What will he think of me when he gets my letter? 10718 What work?" |
10718 | What would Walter think if you elected to dine with me instead of meeting him at table? |
10718 | What''s the matter with you to- day, darling? |
10718 | What''s the use of beating about the bush? |
10718 | What''s your decision regarding the girl? |
10718 | What, dad? |
10718 | What,gasped Lady Heyburn''s friend, his cheeks paling in an instant,"have you been so indiscreet as to inform the police?" |
10718 | What? |
10718 | Whatever you have to say may surely be said in the hearing of a third person? |
10718 | When will his extraordinary energies be suppressed? 10718 Where is he?" |
10718 | Where is my wife? |
10718 | Who has heard them besides myself? |
10718 | Who has not? |
10718 | Who is the owner of Glencardine? |
10718 | Who seeks your downfall, dad? |
10718 | Who''s been trying to frighten you? |
10718 | Whom do you fear? |
10718 | Why are you prying into my affairs? |
10718 | Why do n''t you tell me the truth? |
10718 | Why do n''t you tell me? |
10718 | Why do you ask that? |
10718 | Why do you come here to taunt me like this? |
10718 | Why do you say misfortune? |
10718 | Why do you taunt me like this? 10718 Why have you obtained a key to it?" |
10718 | Why need we speak of him? |
10718 | Why not, dad? |
10718 | Why not? |
10718 | Why should I? |
10718 | Why tell me such a lie? |
10718 | Why worry, my dear Walter? 10718 Why, dear dad, how is it you''re sitting here all alone? |
10718 | Why, what do you mean? 10718 Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Wo n''t you be more explicit? 10718 Yes, but how long can we keep him at arm''s length?" |
10718 | Yes, strange, is n''t it, how two men may drift apart for years, and then suddenly meet in a club, as we have done, Murie? |
10718 | Yes,he said at length,"I suppose the standard of honesty in business is nowadays just about as low as it can possibly be, eh? |
10718 | Yes; but the flowers were a bit expensive, were n''t they? |
10718 | You and your lover have formed another clever plot, eh? 10718 You apparently know this man, dad?" |
10718 | You believe him to be your friend? 10718 You believe that I dare not-- dare not for my own sake, eh?" |
10718 | You believe that Macdonald is dishonest, eh? |
10718 | You dare now, eh? |
10718 | You do n''t think that our friend Flockart had anything to do with the affair? |
10718 | You have no suspicion that any other man may have committed the theft-- that fellow Flockart, for instance? 10718 You live always in Budapest, I suppose?" |
10718 | You love me, do you not? |
10718 | You mean the apparition of the Lady in Green, and all that? |
10718 | You think that I will still remain in this accursed bondage of yours? |
10718 | You threaten me, then? |
10718 | You told him nothing? |
10718 | You want a wash, eh? |
10718 | You would prefer, then, that I should go up to my father and explain all I have seen? |
10718 | You would tell the truth and-- and denounce me? |
10718 | You''ll make nice excuses for me, wo n''t you? |
10718 | You''ve had a letter from the old man, eh? |
10718 | You''ve surely had time to think over it? |
10718 | You-- you intend to give me into custody? 10718 _ Madonna mia!_"he cried, raising his face to the Frenchman,"why, what has happened? |
10718 | _ Per Bacco!_ she''s not going to be such an idiot, surely? |
10718 | _ She shall not!_"How, pray, can you close her mouth? |
10718 | ''Gabrielle,''she said,''what have you done? |
10718 | A little box came this morning from the Professor, did n''t it?" |
10718 | A woman can surely have a male friend without being subject to hostile and venomous criticism?" |
10718 | After the usual conventionalities about the weather, he said,"I suppose you do n''t have very many strangers in Woodnewton, eh?" |
10718 | Ah, shall I ever rid myself of the memory of that fatal afternoon?" |
10718 | Am I not your friend?" |
10718 | Am I right?" |
10718 | And then-- then, what will he believe? |
10718 | And yet was not the barrier between them insurmountable? |
10718 | And yet was she not his most devoted-- nay, his only-- friend? |
10718 | And, if so, did he know him? |
10718 | Are you sure they were not imagination? |
10718 | At one moment she believed in her lover''s strong, passionate devotion to her, for had she not seen it displayed in a hundred different ways? |
10718 | Ay, what then? |
10718 | Besides, what if Flockart spoke? |
10718 | Besides, why should we wait? |
10718 | But I wonder if it really does solve the mystery of the Whispers?" |
10718 | But buried as you are down here instead, what chances have you?" |
10718 | But by whom? |
10718 | But by whom?" |
10718 | But how could I avoid it?" |
10718 | But now, having heard them with my own ears, how can I have further doubt?" |
10718 | But was it worth while? |
10718 | But what charge could he bring against you? |
10718 | But where was Walter? |
10718 | But will you not forgive mademoiselle?" |
10718 | CHAPTER XX TELLS OF FLOCKART''S TRIUMPH"What are you doing here at this hour?" |
10718 | CHAPTER XXVIII THE WHISPERS AGAIN Was it really true what Flockart had told her? |
10718 | CHAPTER XXXIV SURPRISES MR. FLOCKART"Well, you and your friend Felix have placed me in a very pleasant position, have n''t you?" |
10718 | CHAPTER XXXIX CONTAINS THE CONCLUSION THE HOUSE OF WHISPERS CHAPTER I THE LAIRD OF GLENCARDINE"Why, what''s the matter, child? |
10718 | Can not you believe me, your daughter, before this man who is your enemy?" |
10718 | Could she tell him an untruth? |
10718 | Did Walter actually wish to see her again? |
10718 | Did he intend to convey any hidden meaning? |
10718 | Did he, too, believe in the fatal omen, though he was trying to mislead her and poke fun at the local superstition? |
10718 | Disengaging herself, she rose to her feet, and, after a pause, asked,"What reply shall I send to the report, dad?" |
10718 | Do I not act as your secretary? |
10718 | Do they throw any further light upon the secret agreement in 1644 between the great Marquess of Glencardine, whose home was here, and King Charles?" |
10718 | Do you agree?" |
10718 | Do you deny that?" |
10718 | Do you deny writing that letter? |
10718 | Do you know the place?" |
10718 | Do you know the place?" |
10718 | Do you recollect how I spread a rug for her at that spot and preferred myself to stand? |
10718 | Do you remember what Zarathustra says:''Verily, ye could wear no better masks, ye present- day men, than your own faces,''Who could recognise you?" |
10718 | Do you remember what you then told me?" |
10718 | Does she ever question you regarding them?" |
10718 | For that reason, if for none other, is it not better for us to be friends?" |
10718 | For what purpose was the place used, and by whom? |
10718 | Gabrielle, dear, where are you? |
10718 | Had Flockart spoken the truth? |
10718 | Had he seen Krail? |
10718 | Had mademoiselle''s lover had a hand in that revelation? |
10718 | Had not Sister Marguerite always taught her to beseech the Almighty''s aid when in doubt or when in trouble? |
10718 | Had she overheard any of that serious conversation between Lady Heyburn and himself while they walked together in the glen on the previous evening? |
10718 | Hamilton?" |
10718 | Has Miss Heyburn mentioned the man Krail?" |
10718 | Has any girl ever loved a man better than I love Walter?" |
10718 | Has n''t your father ever told you?" |
10718 | Have I not always taken the most extraordinary precautions?" |
10718 | Have I not kept eyes and ears open, and told you of all I have seen and learnt? |
10718 | Have we not arranged a code in order to prevent her from satisfying her woman''s natural inquisitiveness?" |
10718 | Have you ever heard any story concerning their origin?" |
10718 | Have you heard from mademoiselle lately?" |
10718 | He does not even speak of them to his wife; therefore why should strangers evince any interest in them?" |
10718 | He started quickly at her words, and asked,"What do you know about them, dear? |
10718 | Her father started, and raising his expressionless face to hers, asked in almost a snappish tone,"Well, and who has heard them now, pray?" |
10718 | Her response was cold, for was not all her present unhappiness due to him? |
10718 | How are things up at Glencardine?" |
10718 | How are we to avert it?" |
10718 | How can you ask me that question? |
10718 | How can you ask such a question? |
10718 | How could he tell her all that he had heard? |
10718 | How could she tell her father-- the kindly but afflicted man to whom she was devoted-- the bitter truth? |
10718 | How should she act? |
10718 | How should she act? |
10718 | How, indeed, could he know? |
10718 | How?" |
10718 | How?" |
10718 | I could n''t afford to be found prying into the old man''s papers, could I? |
10718 | I hope you have n''t heard them?" |
10718 | I know that you would never willingly betray me to my enemies; but----""Well, but what?" |
10718 | I ought now to have a revolver and threaten you, and then this scene would be complete for the stage-- wouldn''t it? |
10718 | I suppose you fell in love with her, and all that, eh?" |
10718 | I wonder where it has been found? |
10718 | If he asked her point- blank, what could she reply? |
10718 | If she dare, why did she not tell the truth about the safe?" |
10718 | If she did, what then? |
10718 | If she wrote, would it lower her dignity in her lover''s eyes? |
10718 | In order to save her father, should she sacrifice herself-- sacrifice her own life? |
10718 | Is he not over head and ears in love with you? |
10718 | Is it an honest one?" |
10718 | Is it not Tacitus who says,''_ Sua cuique vita obscura est_''?" |
10718 | Is it really worth troubling over? |
10718 | Is it your place to stand between father and daughter?" |
10718 | Is it? |
10718 | Is there much patina upon it?" |
10718 | Is-- is the secret out?" |
10718 | Just serve a snack here for me, will you?" |
10718 | Now, do you believe in ghosts, you man- of- the- world that you are, my dear Felix?" |
10718 | Now, what is it? |
10718 | Or will you still remain buried here?" |
10718 | Shall I open it?" |
10718 | She regretted, yet what was the use of regret? |
10718 | She smiled, with a frantic effort at unconcern, saying,"And what harm, pray, would they have done me, even if I had?" |
10718 | Should she write to Walter? |
10718 | Should she write to him? |
10718 | So what have you to fear?" |
10718 | So why need we waste further words?" |
10718 | Somebody in my own house?" |
10718 | Surely it is not the place of a man to poke fun at his friend?" |
10718 | Surely that''s sufficient guarantee of my friendship?" |
10718 | Surely you can rely upon my secrecy?" |
10718 | Tell me, Gabrielle, where is young Murie just at present?" |
10718 | The Green Lady is Glencardine''s favourite spectre, is n''t she-- perfectly harmless, I mean?" |
10718 | The man placed his hand on her shoulder, saying,"May we not be friends, Gabrielle?" |
10718 | The name does n''t convey much to you, I suppose?" |
10718 | The question was, to what use that secret chamber was put? |
10718 | Then, when they neared the first thatched cottage at the entrance to the village, he halted, asking,"May we not now become friends, Gabrielle? |
10718 | Therefore, why should she now make a secret of their meeting after twelve months''separation? |
10718 | They had been boy and girl together; therefore what more natural than that they should be friends in later life? |
10718 | Though I''m blind, do you consider me a fool? |
10718 | Time had crept on without her heeding it, for what did time now matter to her? |
10718 | To him, what was the benefit of that beautiful Perthshire castle which he had purchased from Lord Strathavon a year before his compulsory retirement? |
10718 | To whom did he deliver it?" |
10718 | Was her ladyship really trying to rid herself of his influence? |
10718 | Was it actually true, as the countryfolk declared, that death overtook all those who overheard the counsels of the Evil One? |
10718 | Was it merely a phenomenon caused by the wind blowing through some crack in the ponderous lichen- covered wall? |
10718 | Was it not only too true, as Lady Heyburn had vaguely suggested a dozen times, that her mouth ought to be effectually sealed? |
10718 | Was it not quite likely that, being Walter''s friend, Hamilton on his return to London would relate the exciting incident of the river? |
10718 | Was it not remarkable that he, Walter''s old friend, should come down into that neighbourhood? |
10718 | Was it one of the omens believed in by the superstitious? |
10718 | Was it possible that her ears had deceived her? |
10718 | Was it possible that the blind man had any suspicion of what was intended? |
10718 | Was it the Lady of Glencardine-- the apparition of the hapless Lady Jane Glencardine? |
10718 | Was it? |
10718 | Was not her refusal to attend the ball perhaps due to some sudden pique or unpleasantness with her giddy stepmother? |
10718 | Was she not calmly and coolly contemplating telling the truth and putting an end to her existence after saving her father''s honour? |
10718 | Was she still his, as she had ever been, or was she playing him false? |
10718 | Was this the Mr. Hamilton who had snatched her from that deadly peril? |
10718 | We were agreed long ago that he is not a gentleman, were n''t we?" |
10718 | Well, this very day I intend to have a long chat with my wife, but before I do so will you promise me one thing?" |
10718 | Well, what have you found out?" |
10718 | What are you saying? |
10718 | What can all this mean?" |
10718 | What can she know?" |
10718 | What cared any of those friends of her step- mother if she were in disgrace and an outcast? |
10718 | What could it all mean? |
10718 | What could it be? |
10718 | What could it be? |
10718 | What could she do? |
10718 | What could she reply? |
10718 | What did he suspect? |
10718 | What do you happen to know about them?" |
10718 | What do you imply?" |
10718 | What do you mean? |
10718 | What does it mean? |
10718 | What else could she say? |
10718 | What had he to say? |
10718 | What has been discovered?" |
10718 | What if he told the awful truth? |
10718 | What if she flung her good name to the winds and actually carried out her threat? |
10718 | What if she really spoke the truth? |
10718 | What indeed? |
10718 | What kind of man is Sir Henry Heyburn?" |
10718 | What makes you think that?" |
10718 | What motive had he? |
10718 | What secret?" |
10718 | What shall I tell your father?" |
10718 | What should she do? |
10718 | What was the_ coup_ in this particular instance? |
10718 | What would he think if the bitter truth were exposed? |
10718 | What would her lover think of her? |
10718 | What would the man gain thereby? |
10718 | What, indeed, did anything matter? |
10718 | What, pray, is it worth? |
10718 | What-- what makes you think that?" |
10718 | When facing her again, he smiled, asking,"Tell me, Winnie, what does all this mean?" |
10718 | When will you be convinced that the answer I gave you long ago was the actual truth?" |
10718 | When would his welcome telegram arrive? |
10718 | Whence did they come? |
10718 | Where is that box from the Professor?" |
10718 | Where was she?" |
10718 | Who is it who compels you to act against your will and against your better nature? |
10718 | Who keeps the key of the safe?" |
10718 | Who knows?" |
10718 | Who''s been telling you about the Whispers, child?" |
10718 | Why are you so indifferent, dearest?" |
10718 | Why did he not allow us to discuss the affair first?" |
10718 | Why did she attempt to shield the man who, by his sudden flight, was self- convicted of an attempt upon her life? |
10718 | Why do n''t you speak to me?" |
10718 | Why do n''t you speak? |
10718 | Why had Gabrielle met Felix Krail-- of all men? |
10718 | Why had Krail attempted to get rid of her in that manner? |
10718 | Why had he not replied to her letter? |
10718 | Why had he not written? |
10718 | Why had she, by her own action in writing to her lover, placed herself in that terrible position from which there was no escape-- save by death? |
10718 | Why had that man followed her? |
10718 | Why had their meeting been a clandestine one? |
10718 | Why had this great calamity befallen her? |
10718 | Why have n''t I seen you to- night?" |
10718 | Why is it? |
10718 | Why should Aunt Emily complain of me? |
10718 | Why should Krail meet her by accident at that lonely spot? |
10718 | Why should all this misfortune fall upon her, to wreck her young life? |
10718 | Why should he be worried on her account? |
10718 | Why should he enjoin such secrecy? |
10718 | Why should not Flockart retaliate? |
10718 | Why should you care now? |
10718 | Why should you two not be happy?" |
10718 | Why under compulsion? |
10718 | Why was Mr. Hamilton in that neighbourhood? |
10718 | Why, are n''t Walter Murie and his mother dining here to- night? |
10718 | Why, darling, what allegation could such a man ever make against you?" |
10718 | Why, does she not stand between us and fortune?" |
10718 | Why, indeed, had he troubled to come there? |
10718 | Why, my dear Walter,"she laughed,"whatever do you want to know about him? |
10718 | Why, was not this man her father''s false friend? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why? |
10718 | Why?" |
10718 | Why?" |
10718 | Why?" |
10718 | Will you be at home in the afternoon?" |
10718 | Will you not listen, and take my advice? |
10718 | With what motive should I open your safe?" |
10718 | Wo n''t you sing another?" |
10718 | Wo n''t you tell me the truth? |
10718 | Would he never write again? |
10718 | Would it be judicious to explain Flockart''s visit, and how he had urged their reconciliation? |
10718 | Would it not be far better if he invited you to return?" |
10718 | Would you?" |
10718 | Yet surely she''s safer with her aunt?" |
10718 | Yet was not his own poignant jealousy misleading him? |
10718 | Yet-- yet is it not cruel that I dare not speak the truth and clear myself of this foul charge of betraying my own dear father? |
10718 | You do n''t know where the old fellow keeps the key?" |
10718 | You do now, I suppose?" |
10718 | You know his daughter, then?" |
10718 | You recollect her?" |
10718 | You surely know what people are saying-- the construction they are placing upon your friendship for Lady Heyburn?" |
10718 | You were alone, I suppose?" |
10718 | You will pardon my resuming, wo n''t you?" |
10718 | You''ve trusted me before,"he added;"why not again?" |
10718 | an''ha''e ye actually h''ard the Whispers?" |
10718 | cried Flockart, his eyes glaring angrily,"do you declare, then, that I am a murderer?" |
10718 | cried Walter,"I wonder where this leads to?" |
10718 | exclaimed the man, halting and looking her seriously in the face;"ha''e ye seen the ghaist?" |
10718 | he cried cheerily, taking her hand,"what brings you over this morning, especially when we were told last night that you were so very ill?" |
10718 | he cried,"what is the matter? |
10718 | he gasped in distinct alarm,"has she told her father the truth?" |
10718 | if ever she did know what was in progress it would be all up for both of us-- wouldn''t it? |
10718 | if she does-- then-- then--""And what, pray, can you do?" |
10718 | inquired Sir Henry,"when she herself admitted that she had been at the safe?" |
10718 | laughed the sightless man,"he''s already beginning to understand the feminine perverseness, eh? |
10718 | she gasped quickly;"do you think he suspects?" |
10718 | then it''s a secret e''en frae the laird, eh?" |
10718 | why, what''s happened?" |
6325 | A change? |
6325 | A dog? |
6325 | A ladder? |
6325 | A little remote from Britton, is n''t she? |
6325 | A middle- aged man with the upper button of his waistcoat off? |
6325 | Admitting that to be true, why should she marry me? |
6325 | Alone? |
6325 | Am I to assume that the newspapers were correct in stating that you mean to support my cause with-- I may say, to the full extent of your powers? |
6325 | Am I to infer that you may have experienced a one- sided leaning toward matrimony? |
6325 | Amberdale? |
6325 | An hour from_ now_? |
6325 | And find me here? |
6325 | And how did you find it out? |
6325 | And now will you be good enough to tell me who I am? |
6325 | And now, Mr. Smart, will you be kind enough to explain this incomprehensible proceeding on your part? |
6325 | And now, what do you say to our trip to the bottom of the castle? |
6325 | And so my study is just beyond this mirror, eh? 6325 And the mother made way with him?" |
6325 | And this Mr. Pless, who is he? |
6325 | And what am I to call you? |
6325 | And what did you say to that? |
6325 | And where am I to get the hot water for shaving, sir? |
6325 | And why not? |
6325 | And-- you do n''t? |
6325 | Any message? |
6325 | Any one else getting off here? |
6325 | Anythink more, sir? |
6325 | Are we not to go searching for it? |
6325 | Are you at home? |
6325 | Are you giving a dinner party? |
6325 | Are you going to hunt for it yourself? |
6325 | Are you hungry? |
6325 | Are you hurt, Colly? |
6325 | Are you in earnest? |
6325 | Are you really, truly in earnest? |
6325 | Are you satisfied, Mr. Smart, that there are no counterfeits among them? |
6325 | Are you so homely as all that? |
6325 | Are you sure? |
6325 | Assuming that you are right in regard to my feelings toward her, Fred, what leads you to believe that I would stand a chance of winning her? |
6325 | Bad notions? |
6325 | Besides, sir, would it not be safer to wait till the tourist party has come and gone? |
6325 | Blows? 6325 Boy?" |
6325 | Breakage? |
6325 | Breakfast or-- you? |
6325 | Britton, what''s all this gossip I hear going the rounds of the castle behind my back? |
6325 | Britton,said I, as he closed the door,"do you think they will carry out their threat to have the law on me? |
6325 | Britton,said I, wearily,"have you ever seen anything like it?" |
6325 | But ca n''t you see how dreadful it would be if I were to kill Rosemary''s father? |
6325 | But do n''t you love the view you have of the Danube? |
6325 | But surely_ you_ see the danger? |
6325 | But why did you suggest such a thing to him? |
6325 | But why should you hide from him? |
6325 | But why worry about that, Mr. Smart? 6325 But your mother? |
6325 | But, of course, as you say, if they can get any pleasure out of it, why should we object? 6325 By the way, whose baby is it? |
6325 | By the way,I said sternly,"how does that bedstead happen to be a yard or so lower than any other bed in this entire castle? |
6325 | By the way,I went on, knitting my brows,"how am I to get into your side of the castle? |
6325 | Ca n''t we effect a compromise? 6325 Ca n''t you see me?" |
6325 | Ca n''t you see? |
6325 | Can you expect me to indulge an extravagant wife, who seeks to become a social queen, and still save anything out of a paltry million? |
6325 | Can you not see for yourself? |
6325 | Can you think of a better way to kill it? |
6325 | Circumstances? |
6325 | Come here a minute, will you? |
6325 | Cosy? |
6325 | Could n''t Rudolph and Max stop them? |
6325 | Count James Hohendahl? |
6325 | Criminal news? |
6325 | Did he leave any message for me? 6325 Did n''t he get his money?" |
6325 | Do about it? |
6325 | Do n''t you ever sit down? |
6325 | Do n''t you know who this gentleman is? 6325 Do n''t you read the newspapers?" |
6325 | Do n''t you see the advantage we gain by fooling him? 6325 Do n''t you think the roses are lovely in that old silver bowl?" |
6325 | Do n''t you think your guests will consider you rather inhospitable if you stay away from them all morning? |
6325 | Do n''t you want to know it? 6325 Do you also contemplate giving notice to the chef and his wife, our only chambermaid?" |
6325 | Do you hear me? |
6325 | Do you hear, sir? |
6325 | Do you know her? |
6325 | Do you know we''ve never given the buried treasure another thought? |
6325 | Do you mean that it will arrive at two o''clock? |
6325 | Do you mean to say that articles have been taken away from the castle since I came into possession? |
6325 | Do you mean to say you wo n''t tell me his name? |
6325 | Do you mean to tell me that these things have been sold and carried away without my knowledge or consent? 6325 Do you mind if I go on arranging them?" |
6325 | Do you really consider him an ingenuous old soul? |
6325 | Do you really think they would put me in prison? |
6325 | Do you recognise it? |
6325 | Do you serve me, or do you serve the lady in the east wing? |
6325 | Do you smell_ that_? |
6325 | Do you suppose, just to oblige you, I''ll get myself mixed up in this wretched squabble? 6325 Do you think I am blind?" |
6325 | Does he? |
6325 | Does it seem so to you? |
6325 | Does n''t this castle belong to me? |
6325 | Eh? 6325 Eh? |
6325 | Eh? |
6325 | For God''s sake,I whispered hoarsely in my humbleness,"say that you forgive me?" |
6325 | Found out? |
6325 | Gentlemen? |
6325 | Going out, Mother? |
6325 | Good looking? |
6325 | Guests? |
6325 | Has anything serious happened? |
6325 | Has she ever said anything to you, old chap, that would lead you to believe she''s keen about him? |
6325 | Has she never mentioned Lord Amberdale to you? |
6325 | Hasn''t-- hasn''t she ever hinted at-- hasn''t she mentioned any one at all? |
6325 | Hate''em? |
6325 | Have I told you, Mr. Smart, that I am expecting my mother here to visit me week after next? |
6325 | Have n''t I just said that I do n''t want to talk about literature? 6325 Have n''t you any more sense than to smash a golf club like that? |
6325 | Have you a cold? |
6325 | Have you had your breakfast? |
6325 | Have you lost interest in it so soon? |
6325 | Have you made out the papers? |
6325 | Have you seen them? |
6325 | Have you suddenly discovered the fact, sir? |
6325 | He did, eh? 6325 He has?" |
6325 | He knew all the time that you were napping in that chair, eh? |
6325 | He owes it, does n''t he? |
6325 | He wants the child and-- and-- well, you can see why he wants her, ca n''t you? 6325 Head her off? |
6325 | Heavenly? |
6325 | Herr Schmick,said I,"will you be so good as to inform me who the dickens that woman is over in the east wing of the castle?" |
6325 | His stomach? 6325 How can you prove that it''s the genuine article?" |
6325 | How can you publicly espouse the cause of one whose name you refuse to have mentioned in your presence? |
6325 | How did it get there? |
6325 | How did you get in? |
6325 | How do you know? |
6325 | How does your valet stand it? |
6325 | How in the world did you guess? |
6325 | How is Rosemary? |
6325 | How is the baby? |
6325 | How soon do they go? |
6325 | I am quite sure, Mr. Smart, that Dillingham is a perfectly trustworthy detective, and--"But why take the slightest risk? |
6325 | I am reading your last book-- Are you going? |
6325 | I am sure you will pardon me if I very politely ask who you are? |
6325 | I beg your pardon, Mr. Smart,he said in fairly good English,"may I have a word with you? |
6325 | I beg your pardon, but would you mind doing me a slight favour? |
6325 | I like_ this!_ Are they my servants or yours? |
6325 | I manage it? 6325 I mean to say, sir, is n''t it true?" |
6325 | I suppose Poopendyke told you the-- the gossip? |
6325 | I? 6325 I?" |
6325 | If I should write you a nice, agreeable letter, explaining as much as I can, wo n''t you be satisfied? |
6325 | In those dark, dank, grewsome cellars? |
6325 | In_ my_ bed? 6325 Indeed?" |
6325 | Is Britton dead? |
6325 | Is it necessary for Mr. Pless to resort to a subterfuge of this character in order to get a message to me? |
6325 | Is it? |
6325 | Is n''t he any good? |
6325 | Is n''t it about time I was doing something for you in return for all that you have done for me? |
6325 | Is n''t it getting to be a habit? |
6325 | Is n''t it jolly, Mr. Smart? 6325 Is n''t it odd that the Countess, an American, should be descended from the old Rothhoefens? |
6325 | Is n''t it perfectly ludicrous? |
6325 | Is n''t it rather odd that he should still think she is here, in the castle? |
6325 | Is n''t it, sir? |
6325 | Is n''t she adorable? |
6325 | Is n''t she lovely? |
6325 | Is n''t what? |
6325 | Is she pretty? |
6325 | Is-- is he a count? |
6325 | Is-- is there anything else? |
6325 | Is_ this_ the way the wind blows? |
6325 | It is something of a climb, is n''t it? |
6325 | Jail? |
6325 | Jappie,said his mother severely,"how often must I caution you not to speak of New York as Jew York? |
6325 | John, will you ever forgive me? |
6325 | Madam,I exploded,"will you be good enough to listen to me? |
6325 | Maude, what do you know about the Roman- Teutonic treaty? 6325 May I enquire, madam, what you are doing in my hou-- my castle?" |
6325 | May I enquire, madam,said I stiffly,"how you came to select my abode as your hiding place?" |
6325 | May I inquire where and from whom you received the impression that I am a rich man? |
6325 | May I inquire, Countess, how you manage to have letters delivered to you here? 6325 May I inquire, sir, where you are taking_ these_?" |
6325 | May I offer you a brandy and soda? |
6325 | Might I suggest that we also engage a chambermaid? 6325 Mr. Brewster gone out yet?" |
6325 | Mr. Poopendyke,said I slowly, darkly,"what do you know about those violets?" |
6325 | Mrs. Titus does n''t seem to realise the risk she runs in--"Risk? 6325 My dear fellow, shall we not shake hands?" |
6325 | Next Thursday? |
6325 | Not at home? |
6325 | Nothing at all, I submit, in view of the fact that it may be the means of saving you from a term in prison for abducting Rosemary? |
6325 | Notice? |
6325 | Now, will you be good enough to get out of this house-- and stay out? |
6325 | Now,_ is n''t_ she lovely? |
6325 | Of course you_ were_ married in New York? |
6325 | Oh, did it prick you? |
6325 | Oh, how can you ask? |
6325 | Oh, is that all? 6325 Oh, you do, eh? |
6325 | Oh, you''ve seen her, eh? |
6325 | Oh,said I, remembering,"I have n''t told you, have I? |
6325 | One of the finest chaps I know, eh, George? |
6325 | Out? 6325 Pains?" |
6325 | Pardon me, sir, but would n''t it be a tip- top idea to have it out with the Schmicks to- night? 6325 Remainder?" |
6325 | Save us a great deal of legging it over town and all that sort of thing, eh? |
6325 | See here,I exclaimed, facing them angrily,"what does all this mean? |
6325 | Shall we set to- morrow for the treasure quest? |
6325 | She is n''t figuring on having it published, is she? |
6325 | She is? |
6325 | She won''t--"Why, you blithering idiot,I roared,"do you know what you are saying? |
6325 | She-- she has arrived? |
6325 | She? 6325 Sir?" |
6325 | So she was out in it too, eh? 6325 Tell Hawkes, will you?" |
6325 | That complicates matters, does n''t it? 6325 That is, who am I supposed to be?" |
6325 | The Count? |
6325 | The Schmicks? |
6325 | The baby? |
6325 | The buy and sell kind? |
6325 | The express stops for him, eh? 6325 The family? |
6325 | The shrinkage? |
6325 | The sixth baron? 6325 The-- the what, sir?" |
6325 | The_ what_? |
6325 | Then how did the woman and her dog get into that part of the castle? |
6325 | Then how_ did_ you get in? |
6325 | Then it is true that you are going to marry? |
6325 | Then why run the risk? |
6325 | Then why wo n''t you admit that you are sorry for her? 6325 Then you do n''t intend to send out the statements?" |
6325 | Then,--then, you are going to marry some one? |
6325 | They have n''t moved it, have they? 6325 They''re very cute, ai n''t they, sir?" |
6325 | Think she''ll have him? |
6325 | Toward whom? |
6325 | Turn you out of this delightful room after you''ve had so much trouble getting it into shape? 6325 Turn you out?" |
6325 | Was it_ really_ signed here, right here in this hall? 6325 Was n''t he paid in full?" |
6325 | Was n''t she at''ome, sir? |
6325 | Was she? |
6325 | Wass iss? |
6325 | We? |
6325 | Well, now that you are here, Mr. Smart, may I be so bold as to inquire what you are going to do about it? |
6325 | Well, of all the-- Oh, I say, Countess, you do n''t believe a word of all this, do you? |
6325 | Well, two days? |
6325 | Well, we are bosom friends once more, are we not? 6325 Well, what does he say?" |
6325 | Well,said I, seeing the point,"what are you doing here?" |
6325 | Well,said I, somewhat feebly,"where do I come in?" |
6325 | Well,said he, slowly and deliberately,"why do n''t you set about it, then?" |
6325 | Well? |
6325 | What about it? 6325 What became of the rag- doll, Britton?" |
6325 | What did she have to say about it, Fred? |
6325 | What do I do now? |
6325 | What do you ask for this thing? |
6325 | What do you know about clubs? |
6325 | What do you mean? |
6325 | What do you mean? |
6325 | What do you mean? |
6325 | What do you mean? |
6325 | What do you take me for, madam? 6325 What does this mean?" |
6325 | What happened to it? |
6325 | What has become of all that? |
6325 | What has happened? |
6325 | What have you been doing all summer? |
6325 | What have you been saying to mother? |
6325 | What is it, sir? 6325 What is it, sir?" |
6325 | What is it, then? |
6325 | What is it? |
6325 | What is it? |
6325 | What is on your mind, Countess? |
6325 | What is she like, Fred? |
6325 | What is the use of going into all that? |
6325 | What is your idea of borrowing, may I ask? |
6325 | What kind of a shot is the baron? |
6325 | What the devil do you mean by that, sir? 6325 What the devil is the matter with you?" |
6325 | What the dickens is it doing down here? |
6325 | What time do we dine? |
6325 | What was her social standing in New York? |
6325 | What would you think of me if I were to tell you I''m not? |
6325 | What''s quite true, sir? |
6325 | What''s that got to do with it? |
6325 | What''s that? 6325 What''s that?" |
6325 | What''s up? 6325 What''s up?" |
6325 | What''s up? |
6325 | When does the next train get in? |
6325 | Where are the keys, you old rascal? |
6325 | Where are you? |
6325 | Where are your sons? |
6325 | Where are your sons? |
6325 | Where is she? |
6325 | Who is he? |
6325 | Who is she? 6325 Who is this mucker?" |
6325 | Who let these people in? |
6325 | Who the devil are you? |
6325 | Why are you so keen to have me take sides with her? |
6325 | Why are you so quiet, so funereal? |
6325 | Why destroy a perfectly good padlock, mein herr? |
6325 | Why did n''t he accept it? |
6325 | Why did you ask if he is a count? |
6325 | Why do you suppose he wants to see you? |
6325 | Why not place a tall ladder in the courtyard and crawl in through one of the windows? |
6325 | Why not? 6325 Why not? |
6325 | Why not? |
6325 | Why the deuce do n''t you stay on the upper floors? |
6325 | Will you be good enough to explain this intrusion? |
6325 | Will you be good enough to leave the room for awhile, Mr. Schymansky? 6325 Will you be good enough to send your-- your army away, or do you prefer to have it on hand in case I should take it into my head to attack you?" |
6325 | Will you believe me if I say to you that I went into it blindly? |
6325 | Will you come in now, and make yourself quite at home? |
6325 | Will you forgive me if I submit that you sleep quite a distance from home? |
6325 | Will you give me three days in which to think it over? |
6325 | Will you have your shave and tub now, sir? |
6325 | Will you please put a chair here so that I may hop down? |
6325 | Will you please put a stop to the noise for a day or two? |
6325 | Will you put in the telephone, sir? |
6325 | Wo n''t he, Blake? |
6325 | Wo n''t you be generous? |
6325 | Wo n''t you take off your veil and stay awhile? |
6325 | Woman, mein herr? |
6325 | Women in the party? |
6325 | Work? 6325 Would it not be better to discuss the question of payments before we go any further, Count Tarnowsy?" |
6325 | Would n''t it? |
6325 | Would n''t your heart be broken? |
6325 | Would you be entertained by a real mystery? |
6325 | Would you be vitally interested in the outcome of such an affair? |
6325 | Would you like to hold her, Mr. Smart? 6325 Would you turn me out of my own house? |
6325 | Yes, mein herr? |
6325 | You are going to let every one think you are his friend and not mine? |
6325 | You are sure there was a treaty, Maude? |
6325 | You did not have to live in the same house with me to find it out, did you? |
6325 | You do n''t despise me? |
6325 | You do? |
6325 | You know my name? |
6325 | You mean since the-- er-- divorce? |
6325 | You mean that there is a plan afoot to-- to smuggle you out of the country? |
6325 | You were not thinking of the workmen just now, were you? |
6325 | You will not fail to look us up when you come to New York, will you, Mr. Smart? 6325 You wish me to accept a third mortgage on the place?" |
6325 | You would n''t have me turn her over to the law, would you? |
6325 | You''ll come? |
6325 | You_ are_ in love with me, are n''t you, John, dear? |
6325 | Your bedroom? |
6325 | Your father bought them? |
6325 | Your husband? 6325 _ Have you deserted me entirely? |
6325 | _ John Bellamy Smart, Esquire._Dear Mr. Smart: Will you put a price on Schloss Rothhoefen? |
6325 | _ What_ will people think of you? |
6325 | ( Is whack the word?) |
6325 | A few weeks ago you were saying he ought to pay it, that it would serve him right, and--""Did I say that?" |
6325 | A long line of Baron Schmarts? |
6325 | A new problem confronted me: what was I to say to her? |
6325 | A rug?" |
6325 | A sickening thought struck me: could it be possible that the Countess herself suspected me of being in love with her? |
6325 | A truce, or something of the sort? |
6325 | After all, was n''t it likely to prove a most unpleasant matter? |
6325 | After all, why should I expend my unpleasant humour on her? |
6325 | After he had mumbled something about rain or wet grounds, I coldly enquired:"Mr. Poopendyke, are you employed by me or by that woman upstairs?" |
6325 | Am I right?" |
6325 | An Englishman?" |
6325 | And Lord Amberdale would grin in his beastly supercilious English way and say:"What else could you have expected from a bally American bounder?" |
6325 | And may I ask who_ you_ are?" |
6325 | And now do n''t you want to come with me to see Rosemary?" |
6325 | And why not? |
6325 | Are all American husbands so perfect that Count Tarnowsy would appear black among them? |
6325 | Are not American women stealing their children from American husbands? |
6325 | Are there no American men who marry for money, and are there no American girls given in marriage to wealthy suitors of all ages, creeds and habits? |
6325 | Are there no bad husbands in America?" |
6325 | Are you going out with us in the boat or would you prefer to browse about a little longer? |
6325 | Are you scowling at me?" |
6325 | Are-- are you all right, my dear?" |
6325 | Are-- are you the author, James Byron Smart? |
6325 | Ask him politely if he could oblige me by telling me whether I was in love? |
6325 | Ask him what? |
6325 | Better, I hope?" |
6325 | But did you hear what I said a moment ago?" |
6325 | But that came later, so why anticipate a joy with realisation staring one in the face? |
6325 | But what I''d like to know is this: What became of the grouse you ordered for dinner, sir? |
6325 | But when they''re still alive and as bad as ever,--well, do n''t you see it''s different?" |
6325 | But why not allow myself the pleasure of enjoying the romantic feast that had been set before me by the gods of chance? |
6325 | But would I ever settle down to work? |
6325 | But, even so, what right had my secretary to constitute himself adviser and mentor to the charming invader? |
6325 | Ca n''t you put them off?" |
6325 | Ca n''t you see?" |
6325 | Can you have luncheon with us to- morrow? |
6325 | Can you imagine these expert, able- bodied men putting laths on a wall with screw- drivers? |
6325 | Can you smuggle her into the castle without any one knowing a thing about it? |
6325 | Can you-- will you pardon the coarse opinions of a conceited ass? |
6325 | Collecting all the sarcasm that I could command at the instant, I inquired:"And you, Mr. Poopendyke,--are you not ticklish?" |
6325 | Could it be possible that there was anything in the speculation of my servants? |
6325 | Could there be anything in what he said? |
6325 | Criminal? |
6325 | D''you see? |
6325 | Damme, I am strong for her, are n''t you?" |
6325 | Detectives?" |
6325 | Did I imagine that he chuckled? |
6325 | Did you come to blows?" |
6325 | Do n''t you see you could have telephoned for me and saved him the trip?" |
6325 | Do n''t you see?" |
6325 | Do n''t you think it would be proper at this point to tell me who you are?" |
6325 | Do you see_ that_?" |
6325 | Do you suppose, Mr. Smart, I would jeopardise my daughter''s--""What''s up?" |
6325 | Do you understand, madam?" |
6325 | Do you understand? |
6325 | Do you understand?" |
6325 | Do you understand?" |
6325 | Do you want Mr. Smart to die of pneumonia?" |
6325 | Does Britton know it?" |
6325 | Does he appear to be unhappy?" |
6325 | Does n''t it seem simple?" |
6325 | Does n''t it simplify matters, knowing this?" |
6325 | Doesn''t-- doesn''t that help matters a little bit?" |
6325 | Eh, Rudolph? |
6325 | Ever meet him? |
6325 | Following close upon this came another and even graver question: what would she say to me? |
6325 | For whom was I to inquire? |
6325 | Get the idea?" |
6325 | Good Heavens, had that idiotic Poopendyke started a menagerie in my castle? |
6325 | Got a match?" |
6325 | Granted that he suspected me of a secret amour, what right had he to concern himself about it? |
6325 | Great Scott, man, do n''t you know a woman''s hair when you see it?" |
6325 | Had he been visiting her without my knowledge or-- was I about to say consent? |
6325 | Had he, by any chance, traced the fugitive countess to my doors? |
6325 | Had she been unhappy because of my beastly behaviour? |
6325 | Has she not the good, brave m''sieur to-- what you call it-- to shoulder all the worry, no? |
6325 | Have I been dreaming all this?" |
6325 | Have I mentioned that my worthy secretary is six feet four, and as thin as a reed? |
6325 | Have n''t they told you that my great- grandmother was a Rothhoefen? |
6325 | Have you any cousins and aunts?" |
6325 | Have you not read of countless cases over there in which conditions are quite similar to those which make the Tarnowsy fiasco so notorious? |
6325 | Have you seen them?" |
6325 | Have you seen to that?" |
6325 | Have you seen yesterday''s papers? |
6325 | He did n''t? |
6325 | He eyed me rather coldly, as if to say,"What right have you to suggest circumstances?" |
6325 | He was to let me know whether he could play golf with-- eh? |
6325 | Help her to get away? |
6325 | Here was I racing along like a schoolboy, and wherefor? |
6325 | How am I to take it, sir?" |
6325 | How came these doors to be unlocked when the whole place was supposed to be as tight as a drum? |
6325 | How can you think that of me? |
6325 | How could I be expected to devote myself to fiction when fact was staring me in the face so engagingly? |
6325 | How could I have been so slow in grasping this great, bewildering truth? |
6325 | How did she get there?" |
6325 | How is he looking? |
6325 | How was I to know that sobs took refuge behind a simulated interest in philosophy? |
6325 | How was I to know that tears lay close to the surface of those shimmering, vivacious eyes? |
6325 | How was I to know that the beast had treed a lizard in the lower hall and could n''t dislodge it? |
6325 | How''s that?" |
6325 | How-- er-- how did she take it?" |
6325 | How-- how did he like it?" |
6325 | Hurt? |
6325 | I did not repeat the question, but managed to demand rather fiercely:"Are you?" |
6325 | I do n''t like to appear hypercritical, but what did you think of the dinner tonight, sir?" |
6325 | I expected you to glower and growl and--""On a bright, glorious, sunshiny morning like this?" |
6325 | I have wept, have n''t I, Gretel? |
6325 | I insist on knowing who that woman is, why she is here in my hou-- my castle, and-- everything, do you understand?" |
6325 | I suppose you know the whole story?" |
6325 | I''ll be over to- morrow to close the deal, Mr.--Mr.--Now, where is the old Florentine mirror the Count was telling us about?" |
6325 | I--""Oh, what do you know about it?" |
6325 | If not, whose? |
6325 | In the first place I was_ not_ in love, and in the second place whose business was it but mine if I were? |
6325 | Is it quite necessary to have all this pounding and hammering going on in the castle? |
6325 | Is it to the fashionable Bellevue that the nobility and the elect wend their way when they come to town? |
6325 | Is it_ hair_?" |
6325 | Is n''t it a lovely centre- piece? |
6325 | Is n''t it extremely dangerous to have them go through the mails?" |
6325 | Is n''t it true, Hawkes?" |
6325 | Is n''t she a quaint old dear?" |
6325 | Is n''t she delicious?" |
6325 | Is n''t that something?" |
6325 | Is there another train soon?" |
6325 | Is there anything so sad as a glass of champagne when it has gone flat and lifeless? |
6325 | It was she who spent the million?" |
6325 | It would be the simplest way out of our troubles, would n''t it? |
6325 | It''s rather calamitous, is n''t it? |
6325 | Let up on that, will you?" |
6325 | Look for you?" |
6325 | Ludicrous? |
6325 | Max, will you fetch up another scuttle of coal?" |
6325 | May I come too?" |
6325 | May I depend upon you to help me at this trying period? |
6325 | May I enquire how you happen to know that I have my study there?" |
6325 | May I expect you at five-- or thereabouts?" |
6325 | Moreover, if every one was talking about it, what was to prevent the silly gossip from reaching the sensitive ears of the Countess? |
6325 | Mr. Pless did none of these interesting things, so why should I say that he did? |
6325 | My dear Countess, why speak of managing a thing that is so obviously to be desired?" |
6325 | My secret seemed to be safely planted, but what would the harvest be? |
6325 | Need I add that the Hazzards and the Smiths travelled second- class? |
6325 | No? |
6325 | Now do n''t you see your peril? |
6325 | Now we will pass on to the room occupied by all of the great baronesses up to the nineteenth--"A resolute beholder spoke up:"Ca n''t we step inside?" |
6325 | Now what are you going to do about it?" |
6325 | Now why should she throw the''ooks into a fine, upstanding chap like''i m, even if he is an American? |
6325 | Now, do you imagine for a single instant that a beautiful, adorable young woman of twenty- three is going to spend the rest of her life without a man? |
6325 | Of course the Hazzards and the Billy Smiths were possible panaceas, but what could they bring to ease the pangs of a secret nostalgia? |
6325 | Of course, there was a tragic side to the whole matter, but now that I was in for it, why minimise the novelty by adopting arbitrary measures? |
6325 | Oh, I know I must seem awfully foolish and idiotic to you, but-- but it''s too late now to back out, is n''t it?" |
6325 | Oh, mein herr, is it you?" |
6325 | Old Ludwig the Red?" |
6325 | Or could it be possible that he was crying instead of laughing? |
6325 | Or had she betrayed herself by indiscreet acts during the past twenty- four hours? |
6325 | Or is silly the word? |
6325 | Or was I the last of the Rothhoefens and not John Bellamy Smart, of Madison Avenue, New York? |
6325 | Or was it mortification? |
6325 | Pathetic? |
6325 | Playing with Logan, eh? |
6325 | Pless?" |
6325 | Pless?" |
6325 | Put on the gloves with this strapping, skillful boxer? |
6325 | Quite a pretty sentiment, eh?" |
6325 | Schymansky?" |
6325 | See how clever she is? |
6325 | See wot I mean? |
6325 | See wot I mean?" |
6325 | Shall we return to our own ladies?" |
6325 | She knows he''s here? |
6325 | She was taller than I had thought at first sight, or was it that I seemed to be getting smaller myself? |
6325 | She would be adorable, would n''t she?" |
6325 | She''s got a good many months to wait before the matter of the child and the final decree--""Is n''t she worth waiting a year for-- or ten years? |
6325 | Smart? |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | Smart?" |
6325 | So why was I galloping like this? |
6325 | Stupid way for two grown- up men to behave, was n''t it? |
6325 | Surreptitiously?" |
6325 | Tell me, who is she-- or was she?" |
6325 | That one little sentence,_"Have you deserted me? |
6325 | That would go to prove she''s related in some way to some one, would n''t it?" |
6325 | That''s plain- speaking, is n''t it?" |
6325 | The champagne? |
6325 | The doctor was here to- day and he reassured me--""A-- a doctor here to- day?" |
6325 | The next? |
6325 | Then a clear soup, a fish aspec, a-- Why rhapsodise? |
6325 | Then why, in the name of heaven, was n''t he man enough to put a stop to it? |
6325 | They_ are_ onions, ai n''t they, Carrie?" |
6325 | This fine old spinet? |
6325 | Time enough, eh?" |
6325 | Titus?" |
6325 | To be perfectly honest with you, I went into this marriage with my you his queen? |
6325 | Turn''i m down? |
6325 | Turning to Poopendyke, I said:"You have not sent that statement to the newspapers, have you? |
6325 | Two minutes''time would serve to convince him that he was my master, and then where would I be? |
6325 | Understand?" |
6325 | Was I awake? |
6325 | Was I really living in a feudal castle with romance shadowing me at every step? |
6325 | Was I, after all, parting with my money in the way prescribed for fools? |
6325 | Was he right? |
6325 | Was her poor little heart sore over my incomprehensible conduct? |
6325 | Was it not possible for a new and mighty race to rise and take the place of the glorious Rothhoefens? |
6325 | Was it not probable, therefore, that my habitual tendency to turn away wrath with a soft answer might suffer a more or less sanguinary shock? |
6325 | Was it possible that she meant to have old man Titus reward me in a pecuniary way? |
6325 | Was it possible that the corners of Hawkes''mouth twitched? |
6325 | Was it relief at finding her so happy and unconcerned that swept through me? |
6325 | Was n''t it a nice kiss, honey- bunch? |
6325 | Was not I a glory- seeking American and he one of the glorious? |
6325 | Was she preparing to swoon? |
6325 | Was that the way it appeared to her? |
6325 | Was there anger also? |
6325 | Was there anything in this silly twaddle? |
6325 | Was this I, the dreamer of twenty years ago? |
6325 | Was this a part of the bleak, sinister, weather- racked castle in which I was striving so hard to find a comfortable corner? |
6325 | We can afford to laugh in our sleeves, ca n''t we?" |
6325 | We sha n''t feel like stopping for a lot of silly letters-- By the way, sir, when do you expect to start on the romance?" |
6325 | Well, I can only say that Dillingham is a fool, and I do n''t purpose having my own safety threatened by--""Your safety?" |
6325 | Well, is n''t that enough? |
6325 | Well, what did he say?" |
6325 | Well, will you be good enough to tell me what the devil is the meaning of all this two- faced, underhanded conduct on your part?" |
6325 | Well?" |
6325 | Were Tarnowsy''s spies so hot upon the trail that it was necessary for her to abandon the attempt to enter my castle? |
6325 | Were his spies hot upon the trail? |
6325 | What I ca n''t understand, for the life of me, is this: how did you happen to pick up two such consummate bounders as these fellows are?" |
6325 | What are we coming to?" |
6325 | What are you doing out here with a lantern?" |
6325 | What are you driving at?" |
6325 | What business has he to be out?" |
6325 | What could have happened to upset the well- arranged plan? |
6325 | What crime has she committed? |
6325 | What did she mean? |
6325 | What do you mean by that?" |
6325 | What do you mean?" |
6325 | What do you think of that?" |
6325 | What do you think, sir?" |
6325 | What do you want?" |
6325 | What family?" |
6325 | What had become of him? |
6325 | What has the divorce got to do with it?" |
6325 | What have you been up to, madam?" |
6325 | What have you got to be afraid of?" |
6325 | What in heaven''s name was I to do if she took it into her pretty head to do such a thing as that? |
6325 | What in the world was she looking for? |
6325 | What indiscretion had the Countess been up to? |
6325 | What is his name?" |
6325 | What man could have felt otherwise? |
6325 | What more could a sensible, experienced bachelor expect than that? |
6325 | What occasion was there for such unseemly haste? |
6325 | What puts that idea into your head?" |
6325 | What right had he to criticise my manner of speech? |
6325 | What right had he to meddle in Britton''s affairs? |
6325 | What right had he to suggest what she should do, or what her father should do, or what_ anybody_ should do? |
6325 | What say to a half- hour or so every day? |
6325 | What say? |
6325 | What say?" |
6325 | What sort of a rest cure am I conducting here?" |
6325 | What the deuce do you mean, sir, permitting these scoundrels to raise the dead like this? |
6325 | What then must have been the strength of Mrs. Titus''s resolution to overcome the objections he put in her way? |
6325 | What was it that I had been thinking out there in those gloomy halls? |
6325 | What work?" |
6325 | What would become of me? |
6325 | What''s the matter with women, anyhow? |
6325 | What''s the price?" |
6325 | What''s to become of_ me_?" |
6325 | When am I to have the pleasure of meeting the less particular Rosemary?" |
6325 | When are you coming over? |
6325 | When can you give possession?" |
6325 | When would they strike the trail? |
6325 | Where are the originals, Countess?" |
6325 | Where are they to begin, sir?" |
6325 | Where my record as a conqueror? |
6325 | Where the dickens are my trousers?" |
6325 | Where would be the prestige I had gained? |
6325 | Who brought the information?" |
6325 | Who did it?" |
6325 | Who is it that draws the salary checks for yourself and Britton, and who keeps the accounts straight? |
6325 | Who is this woman, and why are you so infernally set upon shielding her? |
6325 | Who knows? |
6325 | Who knows? |
6325 | Who knows?" |
6325 | Who put it into that confounded head of yours that I am-- er-- in love with the Countess? |
6325 | Who would have dreamed of your buying the place and coming here to upset everything?" |
6325 | Who, I repeat? |
6325 | Why add fuel to the already pernicious flame? |
6325 | Why begrudge them the pleasure? |
6325 | Why could n''t Count Tarnowsy have been the one to fall? |
6325 | Why did n''t you write or telegraph Aline? |
6325 | Why did they make her a blonde on the cover?" |
6325 | Why do n''t you come with me when I leave? |
6325 | Why do you call it''The Fairest of the Fair''?" |
6325 | Why do you maintain that an unfortunate alliance with a foreign nobleman is any worse than an unhappy marriage with an ordinary American brute? |
6325 | Why go on making a fool of myself? |
6325 | Why is it that a woman can go downstairs so much faster than a man? |
6325 | Why not head her off?" |
6325 | Why not stay for supper, too?" |
6325 | Why should they be here?" |
6325 | Why should we discommode each other? |
6325 | Why tar all of them with the same stick? |
6325 | Why was I so eager? |
6325 | Why wo n''t you be a little just to her?" |
6325 | Why-- But what use is there in applying why s to a man who does n''t know what God meant when He fashioned two sexes? |
6325 | Will you be good enough, Mr. Smart, to overlook my mistake? |
6325 | Will you be offended if I add that it was rather unexpected? |
6325 | Will you be so very, very kind as to cease bothering me, Mr. Smart? |
6325 | Will you bear with me patiently for a little while longer?" |
6325 | Will you excuse me? |
6325 | Will you explain how it is that it is open to strange women and-- and dogs?" |
6325 | Will you join me?" |
6325 | Will you not let me dress it after this?" |
6325 | Will you shake hands?" |
6325 | Wo n''t you please come and see me? |
6325 | Wo n''t you please understand?" |
6325 | Would I be content to exercise it capably? |
6325 | Would I be serving the Countess ill or well by selling the place to Tarnowsy? |
6325 | Would I cease to be putty in the hands of other people? |
6325 | Would I come to see her the next day? |
6325 | Would he be known there as Pless? |
6325 | Would it be too much trouble if we were to have it in the loggia? |
6325 | Would it not be better for me to face it alone? |
6325 | Would it not be better to live the life of a hermit? |
6325 | Would she become hysterical and go all to pieces? |
6325 | Would the plumbers ever get off the place? |
6325 | Would the prospect of a week of propinquity be too much for her, even though thick walls intervened to put them into separate worlds? |
6325 | You are quite cosy in there, are n''t you? |
6325 | You have no objection, I trust, to my looking over the castle? |
6325 | You have read that book of Mrs. O''Burnett''s, have n''t you?--''The Shuttle''? |
6325 | You knocked Maris down?" |
6325 | You see what I mean? |
6325 | You understand my position?" |
6325 | You will come up to see Mr. Bangs to- night?" |
6325 | You''re not thinking of telling me his name, are you?" |
6325 | You''ve heard of men being wrapped about little fingers, have n''t you? |
6325 | You_ can_ steal up, ca n''t you? |
6325 | You_ do_ know Gretel, then?" |
6325 | You_ do_ see it, do n''t you?" |
6325 | _ That_ woman? |
6325 | or"I''m sure you have thought of it yourself,"or"Is n''t that your idea, too?" |
2433 | ''But frae that moment, think ye there was ony peace i''the hoose? 2433 Ah, but, do n''t you know? |
2433 | Ah, why indeed? |
2433 | Ah, why? 2433 Am I able to help others? |
2433 | An''wha may he be? |
2433 | An''what are we to think o''the man,he said,"at''s content no to un''erstan''what he was at the trible to say? |
2433 | An''what for mak this room less? |
2433 | An''what may that be ower the heid o''them?--A crest, ca''ye''t? |
2433 | An''what may ye be pleast to ca''wark? |
2433 | An''what micht ye think the probability gien they had come intil a lot o''siller whan their father dee''d? |
2433 | An''ye''ll doobtless read the Greek like yer mither- tongue? |
2433 | And after that? |
2433 | And does he stop? |
2433 | And here are thick walls, and hearts careless an timid!--Has any one ever set in earnest about finding it? |
2433 | And is n''t God a man-- and ever so much more than a man? |
2433 | And is not that what the God you believe in does every day? |
2433 | And my poor Davie? |
2433 | And ruin her, and perhaps me too, for life? |
2433 | And shall I be allowed to carry up as much as I please? |
2433 | And since then you have grown a man!--How many months has it taken? |
2433 | And they became the children of another? |
2433 | And which is she likely to take? 2433 And you do n''t want to see her?" |
2433 | Angry because you love me? |
2433 | Are n''t you glad to have such a castle all for your own-- to do what you like with, Arkie? 2433 Are there so many devils about me that an honest fellow ca n''t pray in my company?" |
2433 | Are those the good things then that the Lord says the Father will give to those that ask him? 2433 Are we safe?" |
2433 | Are ye gaein''to the kirk the day, Anerew? |
2433 | Are ye winnin''ower''t, sir? 2433 Are you certain, Sophia,"rejoined Arctura,"that it is self- assurance, and not conviction that gives him his courage?" |
2433 | Are you fond of my brother? |
2433 | Are you quite sure of what you say? |
2433 | Are you so sure we can? |
2433 | Are you suffering much, my lady? |
2433 | Are you sure of that? 2433 Are you sure,"suggested Donal,"that there was not a violin shut up with them? |
2433 | Are you troubled in your mind on the subject? |
2433 | Ashamed of giving me the chance of proving myself a true man? |
2433 | Ay, what is''t? 2433 But are there not things he can not do for us till we believe in Christ?" |
2433 | But could we love him with all our hearts if he were not altogether lovable? |
2433 | But he is not infinite in all his attributes? 2433 But hoo mak ye a livin''that w''y?" |
2433 | But how am I to put a force in operation, while I do not know whether I possess it or not? |
2433 | But how can we love those who are nothing to us? |
2433 | But how could there be an aeolian harp up here? |
2433 | But how often have you gone up and down these walks at dead of night? |
2433 | But how should sinners know what is or is not like the true God? |
2433 | But if there be creatures of God that have turned to demons, may not human souls themselves turn to demons? 2433 But may she not suppose you love her?" |
2433 | But might not that be his fault? |
2433 | But might there not be something good for us to do that we were not told of? |
2433 | But now you have the masons here, why not go on, and make a little search for the lost room? |
2433 | But now, does she not take your words of love for more than they are worth? |
2433 | But suppose I were to take that way? |
2433 | But tell me, Mr. Grant-- how would you set about it? |
2433 | But the thing is worth doing, is it not, even if we do not go so far as to pull down? |
2433 | But then-- excuse me,said Donal,"--why shouldna ye haud yer face til''t, an''work openly, i''the name o''God?" |
2433 | But there''s ae question I maun sattle afore I gang farther-- an''that''s this: am I to be less or mair nor I was afore? 2433 But what can you do with it?" |
2433 | But what first? |
2433 | But what if you are not sure that you do not agree with him? |
2433 | But what then do you call the duties of property? |
2433 | But why bother about his heid more than the rest of his bones? |
2433 | But will there not be some preparations to make? |
2433 | But would there be no objection to my using the place for such a purpose? |
2433 | But ye''re no a shepherd the noo? |
2433 | But you will, dearest? |
2433 | But,said Arctura, in a deprecating tone,"are not those houses which have more influence more important than the others?" |
2433 | But,said mistress Brookes,"beggin''yer pardon, sir, what ken ye as to what they think? |
2433 | Can the darkness be a shield? 2433 Can you ride?" |
2433 | Can you strike a light, and let me see you, Donal? |
2433 | Can you tell me anything about the people at the castle? |
2433 | Certainly not; but would he not be pleased? |
2433 | Come, Davie, I will help you: is Jesus dead, or is he alive? |
2433 | Compelled!--what should compel him? |
2433 | Could you not do it now? |
2433 | Cruel? |
2433 | Damn you? 2433 Davie told me your room was there: do you not find it cold? |
2433 | Davie,he said,"where do you fancy the first lesson in the New Testament ought to begin?" |
2433 | Did it ever occur to ye, sir,he said,"''at maybe deith micht be the first waukin''to some fowk?" |
2433 | Did ye cry, guidman? |
2433 | Did ye no? 2433 Did you ever hear anything about that little room on the stair, mistress Brookes?" |
2433 | Did you ever know a bad woman grow better? |
2433 | Did you ever know a bad woman? |
2433 | Did you ever know a good woman, my lord? |
2433 | Did you ever see a ghost? |
2433 | Didna she sweep oot the schoolroom first whan ye gaed, sir? |
2433 | Didna yer lordship promise an en''to the haill meeserable affair? |
2433 | Dinna ye see the twa reid horse? |
2433 | Do n''t you think we had better tell her all about it? |
2433 | Do n''t you think,suggested Arctura,"when you are not able to say anything, it would be better not to be present? |
2433 | Do ye ken the lass, sir-- to speak til her, I mean? |
2433 | Do you believe it? |
2433 | Do you go any time you like? |
2433 | Do you know any cause for the attack? |
2433 | Do you know why things so often come right? |
2433 | Do you know, my lady,he asked Arctura,"how the aeolian harp is placed for the wind to wake it?" |
2433 | Do you mean to marry her, my lord? |
2433 | Do you mean, go on the roof? 2433 Do you mind being left while I fetch my tools?" |
2433 | Do you not find it very stiff and formal? |
2433 | Do you not owe him justice? |
2433 | Do you not think he would just go on doing the same thing as before? |
2433 | Do you think God would have his child do anything disgraceful? 2433 Do you think he had any knowledge of this plot of his father''s?" |
2433 | Do you think if a man died for a thing, he would be likely to forget it the minute he rose again? |
2433 | Do you think it comes in all storms? |
2433 | Do you think it very silly to mind one''s dreams? |
2433 | Do you think,said Donal,"I ought to tell Simmons?" |
2433 | Do you? |
2433 | Does it need any explanation but that we loved each other? |
2433 | Does she still that same? |
2433 | Does your father often tell you a fairy- tale? |
2433 | Does your lordship think you were in the right-- either towards me or the poor animal who could not obey you because he was in torture? |
2433 | Eppy wha, said ye? |
2433 | Even to the grinding of the faces of the poor? |
2433 | Every day? |
2433 | For no haein''a hoose ower their heads? 2433 For what end were they made?" |
2433 | Gien ye come this gait again,she said,"ye''ll no gang by my door?" |
2433 | H''ard ye never that''afore, maister Grant? |
2433 | Had we not better lock the door, my lady? |
2433 | Has anything fresh happened? |
2433 | Has nothing occurred to wake a doubt in you? |
2433 | Have you attended the scripture- lesson regularly? |
2433 | Have you not suspected him of-- of using you in any way? |
2433 | Have you seen it? |
2433 | He is a man to enjoy having a secret!--But our discovery bears out what we were saying as to the likeness of house and man-- does it not? |
2433 | He wo n''t let me study as I want.--How has he interfered with you? |
2433 | Hoo ken ye that? |
2433 | Hoo ken ye the auld yerl sae weel? |
2433 | Hoo''s a''wi''yersel''? |
2433 | Hoo''s my lord, lass? |
2433 | Hoo''s things gaein''up at the castel? |
2433 | How are we to manage it, mistress Brookes? |
2433 | How can he? 2433 How can that be,"answered Davie,"when you are afraid of him? |
2433 | How can that be-- between a little boy like you, and a grown man like me? |
2433 | How can there be any other than a natural cause, my lady? 2433 How can there be free will where the first thing demanded for its existence or knowledge of itself is obedience?" |
2433 | How can you? 2433 How could I, when I do not know what they are required for? |
2433 | How could he have been cruel to her in the house of his brother? 2433 How did either of you know of my existence? |
2433 | How did he get the ring on to your wrist? |
2433 | How do you know I am afraid of him? |
2433 | How do you know I do not mean to marry her? |
2433 | How do you know it is nonsense? |
2433 | How do you know that? |
2433 | How do you know that? |
2433 | How do you know we are? |
2433 | How do you think you will do without it,Donal once rejoined,"when you find yourself bodiless in the other world?" |
2433 | How far are you going? |
2433 | How is it I find you here with this man? |
2433 | How long will he be your guardian? |
2433 | How long will you take to dress? |
2433 | How long, pray, have you loved me? |
2433 | How shall I find master Davie? |
2433 | How was it? |
2433 | How will she bear it,thought Donal;"how after such an experience, can she spend the rest of the day alone? |
2433 | How would they live? 2433 How?" |
2433 | I believe I know the house, my lord,answered Donal,"with strong iron stanchions to the lower windows, and--?" |
2433 | I ca n''t think what made me sleep so long? 2433 I canna preten''to that; but she''s weel kent throu''a''the country for a God- fearin''wuman.--An''whaur''ll ye be for the noo?" |
2433 | I confess you have the better of me.--But is there not a fallacy in your argument? |
2433 | I did not notice it before.--Do you suppose he left me here to die? |
2433 | I do n''t doubt it; but what could he have had it built for, if he was going to open the other wall? 2433 I do remember a certain thing!--Curious!--But what then as to the openin''o''''t efter?" |
2433 | I have had a good deal,he went on,"to shake my belief in the common ideas on such points.--Do you believe there is such a thing as free will?" |
2433 | I have some hope of it.--You are not frightened, my lady? |
2433 | I hope you have known me long enough,he said,"to believe I have contrived nothing?" |
2433 | I remember very well; why the deuce should I not remember? 2433 I should done better.--Where do you live?" |
2433 | I want you to go to the house for me: you do not mind going, do you? |
2433 | I want you to search a certain bureau there for some papers.--By the way, have you any news to give me about Forgue? |
2433 | I will tell my brother what you say,answered Miss Graeme, with victory in her heart-- for was it not as she had divined? |
2433 | I''ve a good hard head, thank God!--But what has become of them? |
2433 | If God be at peace,he would say to himself,"why should not I?" |
2433 | If I should say everywhere? |
2433 | If a man desires God, he can not help knowing enough of him to be capable of learning more-- else how should he desire him? 2433 If he wanted me to talk to him,"he said,"why did he tell me that about Forgue? |
2433 | If she had gone on, she might have got as good as your mother? |
2433 | If the land were of no value, would the possession of it involve duties? |
2433 | If the only way to life lay through a hair, what must you do but split it? 2433 If we do n''t, then we have n''t faith in him?" |
2433 | In what does the property consist? |
2433 | In what does the value of the land consist? |
2433 | Is he making you still, Mr. Grant? 2433 Is is not grand,"it said,"to be all day with a man like that-- talking to you and teaching you?" |
2433 | Is it a threat to warn you that your very consciousness may become a curse to you? 2433 Is it possible?" |
2433 | Is it,returned Davie,"because they were made right to begin with?" |
2433 | Is my leddy safe? |
2433 | Is n''t it just as well to read such a book? 2433 Is not Christ the same always, and is he not of one mind with God? |
2433 | Is she still-- is she-- alive? |
2433 | Is that to say God has not done his part? |
2433 | Is the factor anywhere in the running? |
2433 | Is there anything you think I could do? |
2433 | Is there no chance for Forgue then? |
2433 | Is there not a duty owing to your family? |
2433 | Is your lordship not aware of some not very pressing duty that you are neglecting to do? 2433 Isna she ower ye? |
2433 | It is near the earl''s room: is there no danger of his hearing anything? |
2433 | It will be time enough to answer that question,replied Donal,"when it changes to,''How did an aeolian harp get up here?'' |
2433 | It''s the varra place!--an''the sooner the better-- dinna ye think, my lady? |
2433 | Ken ye my mither? |
2433 | Know a bad woman? 2433 Like Abraham?" |
2433 | Look after my mare, will you? |
2433 | Maister Grant, wull ye ask a blessin''? |
2433 | May he not come here? |
2433 | May it not have been for the sake of shutting out, or hiding something? |
2433 | Mistress Brookes,said lady Arctura,"I want to have a little talk with Mr. Grant, and there is no fire in the library: may we sit here?" |
2433 | More than send his son to die for your sins? |
2433 | Mr. Grant, how could anybody make a dead man live again? |
2433 | Mr. Grant,he said,"will you help me with this passage in Xenophon?" |
2433 | Mr. Grant,said Arctura, in dread of what Davie might say next,"what do you take to be the duty of one inheriting a property? |
2433 | Must even the old titles of the country be buttressed into respectability with money? 2433 My lord,"he said,"I have given my word to the girl: would you have me disgrace your name by breaking it?" |
2433 | No, I do not: who does? |
2433 | No, sir; why should a man fear the presence of his saviour? |
2433 | No; but what then did I give you the lesson for? 2433 Not nonsense to keep imagining what nobody can see?" |
2433 | Now for the girl: who knows about it? |
2433 | Now tell me, were you ever a ghost? |
2433 | Now tell me-- what can the art of writing, and its expansion, or perhaps its development rather, in printing, do in the same direction as necromancy? 2433 Now you know all about the book, do n''t you?" |
2433 | Now, Davie,said Donal,"what have you done since our last lesson?" |
2433 | Now, my lord,said Donal, following his example and sitting down,"will you hear me?" |
2433 | Of what consequence can my opinions be to you, ma''am? 2433 On a still day?" |
2433 | On what grounds then would he say so? |
2433 | One question more: what is faith-- the big faith I mean-- not the little faith between equals-- the big faith we put in one above us? |
2433 | Or frightened? |
2433 | Please, Mr. Grant,said Davie,"may I have a holiday?" |
2433 | Pray what could be the good of that except--? |
2433 | Required of him by what? |
2433 | Shall I try how he takes to trigonometry? 2433 Shall we go on the roof?" |
2433 | Should not the truth be found, whatever it may be? 2433 Suppose he found he had no will, for he could not do what he wished?" |
2433 | Suppose you had been in her image, what then? |
2433 | Suppose you said,''I daresay it is all as good as you say, but I do n''t care to take so much trouble about it,''--what would that be? |
2433 | Suppose you were to say nothing, but go away and do nothing of what I told you-- what would that be? |
2433 | Surely you will not leave me while--.--I thought-- I thought--.--What is it? |
2433 | Surely, Anerew,interposed his wife, holding up her hands in mild deprecation,"ye wudna lat the lassie du wrang gien ye could haud her richt?" |
2433 | Tell me something of your history: where were you born? 2433 The truth alone can be proved, my lord; how should a lie be proved? |
2433 | Then God disowns his children, and when they are the children of another, adopts them? 2433 Then are you not now going to do so?" |
2433 | Then did God repudiate them? |
2433 | Then how are they to be blamed for doing the deeds of their father? |
2433 | Then how should you know how a ghost would feel? |
2433 | Then perhaps it is not a chimney: is there any sign of soot about, Davie? |
2433 | Then she was nearer the image of God than you? |
2433 | Then this may be the varra wa''he biggit? |
2433 | Then what does he live for? |
2433 | Then what is surprising in it? |
2433 | Then what, in the name of God, have you done with my son? |
2433 | Then why does n''t every boy go to him when he ca n''t get fair play? |
2433 | Then why the devil kick up such an infernal shindy about it? |
2433 | Then you allow that it is horrible to think oneself under the influence of the vices of certain wicked people, through whom we come where we are? |
2433 | Then you can do nothing till the music comes again? |
2433 | Then you did really write it? |
2433 | Then you do n''t believe it? |
2433 | Then you have forgiven me? |
2433 | Then you intend neither to meddle nor make? |
2433 | Then you saw a difference between such a woman and your mother? |
2433 | Then you say there are more seeds than are required? |
2433 | Then you think there is no use in going up? |
2433 | Then you wo n''t ride to- day? |
2433 | Then-- then--"What, my lady? |
2433 | This''ll be the Morven Arms, I''m thinkin''? |
2433 | To- morrow then? |
2433 | Understand ignorance? |
2433 | Wad ye lat a stranger put in a word, freen''s? |
2433 | Wad ye objec''to maister ane by himsel''--or maybe twa? |
2433 | Was it very dreadful? |
2433 | Was there injustice than, or was there favour i''that veesitation o''the sins o''their father upo''them? |
2433 | We shall be able at least to see and hear, else where were the use of believing in another world? |
2433 | We shall have no more lessons this morning.--Was your papa with them? |
2433 | We''ll bide till the day comes.--But what are ye stan''in''there for? 2433 Weel, hoo are ye gettin''on wi''the yerl?" |
2433 | Weel, isna''t best to ken what''s intil''t? |
2433 | Weel, wad ye please tell me what ye ca''the justice o''God? |
2433 | Weel, what wad ye mak o''''t? |
2433 | Weel, yoong Eppy, hoo''s a''wi''ye? |
2433 | Well, what then? |
2433 | Well, young man,he said, looking up at him with concentrated severity,"what would you have me do?" |
2433 | Well-- where is the good of knowing that? |
2433 | Were you ever afraid, my lord? |
2433 | What address, please your lordship? 2433 What are sins, Davie?" |
2433 | What are you going to do with her? |
2433 | What are you two whispering at there? |
2433 | What bad things do you do? |
2433 | What book is that you are reading? |
2433 | What ca''they yon castel? |
2433 | What can that be? 2433 What can that be?" |
2433 | What did he die for? |
2433 | What did my father say? |
2433 | What did she say, Davie? |
2433 | What did you marry her for? |
2433 | What do you know about such things? 2433 What do you mean? |
2433 | What do you mean? |
2433 | What do you mean? |
2433 | What do you please to imagine I am doing now? |
2433 | What do you say to that place in the park where was once a mausoleum? |
2433 | What does he do? |
2433 | What does it all mean? |
2433 | What does it matter who said it? |
2433 | What else can it be, standing with the rest? |
2433 | What for no milk? |
2433 | What for no? |
2433 | What for thank ye God for that? |
2433 | What good then can there be in wanting to be learned? |
2433 | What if God be sending fresh light into the minds of his people? |
2433 | What if she knows I do not intend to marry her? |
2433 | What is behind that press there-- wardrobe, I think you call it? |
2433 | What is being wicked? |
2433 | What is his name? |
2433 | What is it? |
2433 | What is it? |
2433 | What is the matter? |
2433 | What kind of a book? |
2433 | What makes a thing your own, do you think, Davie? |
2433 | What makes you say that, mistress Brookes? |
2433 | What makes you think I forgive you, Davie? |
2433 | What name? |
2433 | What objection? |
2433 | What right have you to ask? |
2433 | What shall we do first? |
2433 | What should I say? 2433 What the deuce is that to you?" |
2433 | What the devil are you doing here? |
2433 | What then are all those beech- nuts under the leaves? 2433 What then would you say if the land were your own? |
2433 | What think you of that, sir? |
2433 | What time does he tell them? |
2433 | What times were those? |
2433 | What was it then, uncle? |
2433 | What was it? |
2433 | What was yon''at he said aboot the mirracles no bein''teeps? |
2433 | What were you doing there,she asked, with a strange mingling of expressions,"in such a night?" |
2433 | What were you doing this morning, uncle? |
2433 | What would you like best to do-- I mean if you might do what you pleased? |
2433 | What would you say to me? |
2433 | What would you think of me, Davie,Donal was saying,"if I were angry with you because you did not know something I had never taught you?" |
2433 | What''s that? |
2433 | What''s that? |
2433 | What? |
2433 | Whaur am I wantit, mother? |
2433 | Whaur are ye b''un''for, gien a body may speir? |
2433 | Whaur''s Eppy Comin, gien ye please? |
2433 | When shall we be married? |
2433 | When shall we set about it? |
2433 | When will you bring it me? |
2433 | When would you call a man learned? |
2433 | When you please, my lady.--To- night? |
2433 | When? |
2433 | Where are you, my lady? |
2433 | Where do you mean to pass the night? |
2433 | Where else is the music heard? 2433 Where is he gone?" |
2433 | Where is that, sir? |
2433 | Where is that? |
2433 | Where is the good of fancying what is not true? 2433 Where is the use then of being great?" |
2433 | Where shall we bury them? |
2433 | Where were you, my lady,asked Donal,"when you heard it? |
2433 | Where would Scotland be now but for resistance? |
2433 | Where''s the harm, my lady? 2433 Where''s your money?" |
2433 | Where? |
2433 | Whether that be good or bad? |
2433 | Which of us are you going to tell upon? |
2433 | Which side will you have-- the broad or the narrow? |
2433 | Which way are you going? |
2433 | Who has not that lives? |
2433 | Who is, then? |
2433 | Who said it then? |
2433 | Who taught you? |
2433 | Who will have the property now? |
2433 | Whom else could I mean? |
2433 | Whose children? |
2433 | Whose,insisted Donal,"are the children whom God adopts?" |
2433 | Why did you not open the arches? 2433 Why do n''t you cry to him to deliver you?" |
2433 | Why do things come right so often, do you think, Davie? |
2433 | Why do you ask me? |
2433 | Why do you live there? 2433 Why do you say they are lost? |
2433 | Why do you say-- might have been? |
2433 | Why do you tell me this? |
2433 | Why does he not work here rather than in the archway? |
2433 | Why else should he come and look till he find? |
2433 | Why is he so long about it? |
2433 | Why not? |
2433 | Why not? |
2433 | Why should I not? |
2433 | Why should it look dreadful if it is not dreadful? |
2433 | Why should you mind that? |
2433 | Why so? |
2433 | Why then should you trouble your fancy about them? |
2433 | Why will you not, Arctura? |
2433 | Why, Miss Carmichael, do you think the gospel comes to us as a set of fools? 2433 Why, did n''t you as much as offer to teach me the library? |
2433 | Why, my lord, who said that? |
2433 | Why, what the devil have you to do with it? |
2433 | Why? |
2433 | Why? |
2433 | Why? |
2433 | Why? |
2433 | Why? |
2433 | Why? |
2433 | Why? |
2433 | Will any saying keep her from being so in love with you as to reap misery? 2433 Will it be safe for Davie?" |
2433 | Will peace come out of all storms? |
2433 | Will you come out a bit, Andrew,he said,"--if you''re not tired? |
2433 | Will you come with me? |
2433 | Will you dine with me to- night? |
2433 | Will you let me look at the passage? |
2433 | Will you mind being left? |
2433 | Will you tell her all about it? |
2433 | Will you tell me what you mean by saying you have no ambition? |
2433 | Would it be less mine,said Arctura,"if I was not at liberty to pull it all to pieces? |
2433 | Would not such precaution as that keep you from gaining a true knowledge of many things? 2433 Would she speak to you again if she heard you talking so of the love you give her?" |
2433 | Would that be faith in him? |
2433 | Would you always do what he told you? |
2433 | Would you have me marry the girl? 2433 Would you mind coming to my room? |
2433 | Would you mind coming to the place? |
2433 | Would you mind if I moved the wardrobe a little on one side? |
2433 | Would you not like, my lady,said Donal,"to come to the schoolroom this afternoon? |
2433 | Wrang!--in obeyin''my Maister, whase is the day, as weel''s a''the days? 2433 Wud ye du them a guid turn?" |
2433 | Wud ye hae me lat the lassie tak her chance ohn dune onything? |
2433 | Wull ye hae a drap mair? |
2433 | Ye dinna surely think God fillsna a''thing? |
2433 | Ye dinna think, than, there''s onything wrang in men''in''a pair o''shune on the Sabbath- day? |
2433 | Ye wadna hang the puir craturs, wad ye? |
2433 | Yes,she answered at once;"I should like it much!--Is there not something you could give me to do?--Will you not teach me something?" |
2433 | You are not going to leave me? |
2433 | You are not vexed with your pupil-- are you? |
2433 | You did not? |
2433 | You do n''t like it then? |
2433 | You do n''t mean there is anything like that in me? |
2433 | You do n''t mind if I make a little dust, my lady? |
2433 | You do n''t surely hint,said Donal,"that there''s anything between her and lord Forgue? |
2433 | You do not mind being left alone? |
2433 | You doubt my honour? |
2433 | You have never told her so?--never said or done anything to make her think so? |
2433 | You have not then been much about yet? |
2433 | You have probably guessed why I sent for you? |
2433 | You know as well as I do the word has many meanings? |
2433 | You know they say there is a hidden room in the castle, my lady? |
2433 | You think I should make my castle my husband? |
2433 | You will come out with me? |
2433 | You will not be afraid to be left then when I go down? |
2433 | You will not tell me his name? |
2433 | You will take good care of her, Davie? |
2433 | You will try again? |
2433 | You would not care to come there with me? |
2433 | You would not like having to give away your castle-- would you, Arkie? |
2433 | You would wish then to retire, my lord, I presume? |
2433 | You''ve been into it, my lady?--What-- what--? |
2433 | Your uncle? |
2433 | ''An''hoo are ye to help it, sir?'' |
2433 | ''Cause he seesna fit to gie me her I wad hae, is he no to hae his wull o''me? |
2433 | ''Did n''t you find a man''s head-- a skull, I mean, upon the premises?'' |
2433 | ''Did ye show''t ony disrespec''?'' |
2433 | ''That?'' |
2433 | ''Then is the head in the way of being buried and dug up again?'' |
2433 | ''Tis a night for all ghostly lovers To haunt the best- loved spot: Is he come in his dreams to this garden? |
2433 | ''What do you want with my child?'' |
2433 | ''What''s either but an appearance? |
2433 | --But had your uncle given you anything?" |
2433 | --But what is that?" |
2433 | --But, Mr. Grant, why should you make Arkie speak to me too?" |
2433 | --How much did you drink, sir-- if I may make so bold?" |
2433 | --Suppose now a man was unconscious of any ability to do the thing required of him?" |
2433 | --what would you say?" |
2433 | --would that be to believe in me?" |
2433 | A bed in a chapel, and one dead thereon!--how could it be? |
2433 | All the time her acceptance and defence of any doctrine made not the slightest difference to her life-- as indeed how should it? |
2433 | An''syne what wud the earl say? |
2433 | An''what brings the guid man til''s senses, div ye think? |
2433 | And are n''t you going to teach yourself to me?" |
2433 | And now what was she to conclude from his reading the Apocrypha? |
2433 | And was that again the sound he had followed, fainter and farther off than before-- a downy wind- wafted plume from the skirt of some stray harmony? |
2433 | And what would Sophia say? |
2433 | And why did it content him to have only his head above ground? |
2433 | And would it be more mine when I had pulled it to pieces, Davie?" |
2433 | And you ca n''t say he shuffles, for he never stops till he has done his best to make you!--What have you been saying to him, Hector?" |
2433 | And you wo n''t say any wicked things, will you? |
2433 | Anyhow, what was to be done? |
2433 | Are her fair feet bending the grasses? |
2433 | Are they not the children of the tree?" |
2433 | Are we never ta raise the han''to human bein'', think ye?" |
2433 | Are ye comin''in, or are ye no?" |
2433 | Are ye in want o''onything? |
2433 | Are you sure he is not plotting to devour sheep and shepherd together?" |
2433 | At what point did the aberration begin? |
2433 | Because I believe the Bible, do I believe everything that comes from the pulpit? |
2433 | Because she is mine, ought I of necessity to be enslaved to all her accidents? |
2433 | But I dare not ask mistress Brookes whether she saw me--""You do not imagine you were out of the room?" |
2433 | But I s''come to the table.--Wud ye alloo me to speir efter yer name, sir?" |
2433 | But Miss Carmichael, stepping forward, said,"Mr. Grant, I can not let you go till you answer me one question: do you believe in the atonement?" |
2433 | But are you not in danger-- you will pardon me for saying it-- of presumption?--How can all the good people be wrong?" |
2433 | But could the voice be from the spirit- land? |
2433 | But did he know mistress Brookes well enough? |
2433 | But did you come here in the dark?" |
2433 | But do you suppose I would take any situation on such a condition?" |
2433 | But from the deafness burst and trickled a faint doubtful stream: could it be a voice, calling, calling, from a great distance? |
2433 | But his lordship would see him-- and could Mr. Grant find the way himself, for his old bones ached with running up and down those endless stone steps? |
2433 | But how did it get in to my head?" |
2433 | But how was he to return? |
2433 | But how was it? |
2433 | But how would Forgue carry himself? |
2433 | But if Eppy would meet him, how could he or anyone help it? |
2433 | But if that had been the intent, what could the building of a wall, vaguely recollected by mistress Brookes, have been for? |
2433 | But is it not strange the heart should be less ready to believe what seems worth believing? |
2433 | But is there not something in your being able to write a poem like that about a garden such as you had never seen? |
2433 | But noo I hae a fauvour to beg o''ye-- no for my sake but for hers: gien ye hae the warnin'', ye''ll be wi''me whan I gang? |
2433 | But says he,''No, no, you must not go; who knows what it may be? |
2433 | But surely there was hope for that world yet!--for whose were the words in which its indwelling despair grew audible? |
2433 | But tell me one thing, my lord: if my lady''s horse was lame, how was it she did not know? |
2433 | But the gudewife was a religions woman after her fashion-- who can be after any one else''s? |
2433 | But was it ink? |
2433 | But were there not now just as many evils as then? |
2433 | But what can be the use of it?" |
2433 | But what for sud I no say I dinna see''t? |
2433 | But what was he to do? |
2433 | But why should my lord be frightened so?" |
2433 | But why was she so white? |
2433 | But would not you be sorry to lose another mystery?" |
2433 | But you will understand me?" |
2433 | But-- excuse me, Mr. Grant-- you will understand me presently-- are you-- are you quite--?" |
2433 | By degrees one might, you know,--eh?" |
2433 | By their own power? |
2433 | Ca n''t you teach me this great old castle? |
2433 | Ca n''t you understand a fellow? |
2433 | Can God be God and do anything conceivably to blame-- anything that is not altogether beautiful? |
2433 | Can it be that he suspects something? |
2433 | Can ye gie him a nicht''s lodgin''?" |
2433 | Can you imagine what place it might be?" |
2433 | Could anything be done that would not both be and cause a wrong? |
2433 | Could it have been a draught down the pipe of the music- chords? |
2433 | Could it have been drunkenness? |
2433 | Could they have visited all the places whose remembrance lingered in his brain? |
2433 | Could you not turn him loose upon sir Walter Scott?" |
2433 | Did he actually hear the words? |
2433 | Did you ever see an aeolian harp, my lady?" |
2433 | Did you never make yourself unhappy about what might be on its way to you, and wish you could know beforehand something to guide you how to meet it?" |
2433 | Do n''t you know that, besides being himself, and just because he is himself, Jesus is the living picture of God?" |
2433 | Do you believe yourself one to be so trusted?" |
2433 | Do you hear, Grant? |
2433 | Do you know where to find him?" |
2433 | Do you think Jesus came to deliver us from the punishment of our sins? |
2433 | Do you think if the devil could create, his children could ever become the children of God? |
2433 | Do you think it a good law, sir?" |
2433 | Do you think there is any instrument in it from which such a sound might have proceeded? |
2433 | Does God never visit the virtues of the father on the child? |
2433 | Does it always take so much labour?" |
2433 | Donal thought little of such things himself, but did that affect his duty in the matter? |
2433 | Donal''s bosom swelled with delight; then came a sting: was he already forgetting his inextinguishable grief? |
2433 | Examining it with his hands, he believed it the same he had ascended in the morning: even in a great castle, could there be two such royal stairs? |
2433 | Few indeed have reached the point of health to laugh at disease, but are there none? |
2433 | Five hundredth hand rather? |
2433 | For the question had come to him-- might not the music hold some relation with the legend of the lost room? |
2433 | For what can there be in heaven or earth for a soul that believes in an unjust God? |
2433 | For who is a god But the man who can spring Up from the sod, And be his own king? |
2433 | Gien a man ought to defen''himsel'', but disna du''t,''cause he thinks God wadna hae him du''t, wull God lea''him oondefent for that? |
2433 | God bless you!--You will let me think of you as a friend?" |
2433 | God is the causing Nature.--Tell me, is not the music heard only in stormy nights, or at least nights with a good deal of wind?" |
2433 | Grant!--Mustn''t he, Arkie?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Grant?" |
2433 | Had he any right to do anything? |
2433 | Had he in any way been the earl''s companion through such a long night as it seemed? |
2433 | Had he or had he not ever seen the place before? |
2433 | Had he really seen it? |
2433 | Had he remembered the fact, would he not have come to him to attempt securing his complicity? |
2433 | Had he sent her mother to think her full of roses? |
2433 | Had her presence dispelled darkness and death, and restored the lost chapel to the light of day? |
2433 | Had it been slowly coming without his knowing it? |
2433 | Had she haunted it ever since, dead yet alive, watching for his return to pardon him? |
2433 | Had she sought refuge there from some persecutor? |
2433 | Had the woman-- for Donal imagined the form yet showed it the body of a woman-- been carried thither of her own desire, to die in a holy place? |
2433 | Had they not both a claim upon Donal for the truth? |
2433 | Hae ye ony w''y o''approachin''the place?" |
2433 | Haena ye to du as she tells ye? |
2433 | Harper?'' |
2433 | Have you any sins, Davie?" |
2433 | Have you been discovering anything more?" |
2433 | Have you brought Simmons with you?" |
2433 | He could hardly believe it? |
2433 | He might be a priest in the temple; but was there not a Samuel in the temple as well as an Eli? |
2433 | He might think little of money, but would he therefore look on while a pocket was picked? |
2433 | He put out his hand to him, and said,"You''ll stand my friend, Grant?" |
2433 | He that hath seen me hath seen the father, and how sayest thou then, Show us the father?''" |
2433 | He thought she needed not have run away as from something dangerous: why did she not pass him like any other servant of the house? |
2433 | He was gazing into a void-- was it not rather a condition of things inappreciable by his senses? |
2433 | Head and all must soon follow.--But how am I to get rid of this plaster without being seen?" |
2433 | His lordship maun be loot ken, as ye say; but wull his lordship believe ye, sir? |
2433 | How can you worship a God who gives you all the little things he does not care much about, but will not do his best for you?" |
2433 | How could he be asleep so early in the night? |
2433 | How could she? |
2433 | How do you know it?" |
2433 | How is a Graeme to serve under a bumpkin?" |
2433 | How is a power to be known but by being a power, and how is it to be a power but in its own exercise of itself? |
2433 | How many would loathe the sin? |
2433 | How many would remain capable of doing all again? |
2433 | How quickest could he go? |
2433 | How should such a one either enjoy or recommend her religion? |
2433 | How then am I made in his image? |
2433 | How then should they be beyond his reach? |
2433 | How was he to feel sure of it? |
2433 | How was she able to love the God she said she believed in? |
2433 | How was she ever to know? |
2433 | How was she to be accepted of God, who did not accept her own neighbour, but looked down, without knowing it, upon so many of her fellow- creatures? |
2433 | How was she to know that he could not even feed himself? |
2433 | How was she to please God, as she called it, who thought of him in a way repulsive to every loving soul? |
2433 | How was she to think aright with scarce a glimmer of God''s truth? |
2433 | How?" |
2433 | I doubt if her love was of the deepest she had to give; but who can tell? |
2433 | I left her fast asleep, and I hope she''ll sleep through it.--Did you ever hear anything strange about the house before we came?'' |
2433 | I must think it all over!--It was after his wife''s death, you say?" |
2433 | I thoucht wi''mysel'', is''t possible she disna believe me? |
2433 | I trust you have not brought Davie with you?" |
2433 | I''ll go an''get it, my lady.--But wouldna''t be better for you and me, sir, to get a''that dune by oorsel''s? |
2433 | If I did not do my best for the poor girl, I dared not look my Master in the face!--Where is your honour, my lord?" |
2433 | If I were to make a creature needing all my love to make life endurable to him, and then not be kind enough to him, should I not be cruel? |
2433 | If a fact, how could it have been? |
2433 | If a fancy, how was he so weary? |
2433 | If ever we hear a far- off rumour of angel- visit, it is not from some solitary plain with lonely children? |
2433 | If he thought he was doing so well with Davie, why not send the two away together till things were settled? |
2433 | If she died there, would Donal come one day and find her? |
2433 | If there are in it rogues that look like honest men, how is any one, without a special gift of insight, to be always sure of the honest man? |
2433 | If there should be ever so slight a leaning in the direction, might he not so give a sudden and fatal impulse? |
2433 | If you admire her so much you must have behaved to her so much the more like a genuine lover? |
2433 | If you saw a great dark cloak coming along the road as if it were round somebody, but nobody inside it, you would be frightened-- would you not?" |
2433 | In the epistle to the Galatians, whose child does he speak of as adopted? |
2433 | Is he not the Lord God merciful and gracious?" |
2433 | Is it down in the dungeon of the castle, my lady?" |
2433 | Is it in the farthest corner of the room? |
2433 | Is it necessary to say she was not a weak woman? |
2433 | Is it not enough to know that if the devil were the greater, yet would not God do him homage, but would hang for ever on his cross? |
2433 | Is it not the evil thing?" |
2433 | Is it such? |
2433 | Is it true, Mr. Grant, that you are a dangerous man? |
2433 | Is not the great misery of our life, that those dear to us die? |
2433 | Is that a thing Jesus would have done when he was a little boy?" |
2433 | Is there any way of truly or worthily receiving a message without understanding it? |
2433 | Isna the blin''man to say he''s blin''?" |
2433 | It came as of itself to her lips, and she said,"Mr. Grant, how are we to know what God is like?" |
2433 | It''s agreed I canna be the same: if I canna be the same, I maun aither be less or greater than I was afore: whilk o''them is''t to be? |
2433 | Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? |
2433 | Ken ye ony dacent, clean place, whaur they wad gie me a room to mysel'', an''no seek mair nor I could pey them?" |
2433 | May not a man well long after personal communication with this or that one of the greatest who have lived before him? |
2433 | Might a man so lose hold of himself as to be no more certain he had ever possessed or could ever possess himself again? |
2433 | Might he not poison her, smother her, kill her somehow, anyhow that was safest? |
2433 | Miss Carmichael looked at lady Arctura as much as to say--"Is he speaking the truth?" |
2433 | Mr. Carmichael was older, and might be more experienced; but did his light shine clearer than Donal''s? |
2433 | Mr. Grant would like to have your advice as to what--.--You''ll come and see them, wo n''t you?" |
2433 | Must God be ever on the cross, that we poor worshippers may pay him our highest honour? |
2433 | Must I, because I love her, hoard her gowns and shoes?" |
2433 | My uncle--""Shall we go into the picture- gallery?" |
2433 | Naebody there? |
2433 | Noo, wad ye no say this was a veesitin''o''the sins o''the father upo''the children?" |
2433 | Now where is the beginning of this marble?" |
2433 | Now you are safe!--You were not afraid, were you?" |
2433 | Now, I ask you, Davie, was it worth while for Jesus to do this for us? |
2433 | Of course Lazarus was going to die again, but can you think his two sisters either loved him less, or wept as much over him the next time he died?" |
2433 | Oh, why would not God tell her something about himself-- something direct-- straight from himself? |
2433 | On the other hand it may have been known to many who held their peace about it.--Would you not like to know the truth concerning that too?" |
2433 | Only the spiritual and the natural blend so that we may one day be astonished!--Would you like to join the music- hunt, my lady?" |
2433 | Only what was a poor girl to do who did not know how to feed herself, but apply to one who pretended to be able to feed others? |
2433 | Opening it-- was it a thinner darkness or the faintest gleam of light he saw? |
2433 | Or gien a body stan''s up i''the name o''God, an''fronts an airmy o''enemies, div ye think God''ill forsake him''cause he''s made a mistak? |
2433 | Or is God less beautiful and good than that?" |
2433 | Or might there not be somebody else? |
2433 | Or was it a stilled human moaning? |
2433 | Ought a woman to get rid of it, or attend to it herself?" |
2433 | Ought the chance to be allowed the nameless youth of marrying his cousin? |
2433 | Ought the next heir to the lordship to go without his title? |
2433 | Sae ye see, sir, we''re like John Sprat an''his wife:--ye''ll ken the bairns''say aboot them?" |
2433 | Said Davie,"Must a woman, Mr. Grant, marry a man she does not love?" |
2433 | Said the worm at his side, Sweet fool, Turn to thy bride; Is the night so cool? |
2433 | Shall I go and fetch Miss Carmichael?" |
2433 | Shall I go on, and see what it is?" |
2433 | Shall I stay to look on her nearer? |
2433 | Shall we leave it for the present?" |
2433 | She did not know she could: how should she? |
2433 | She had been listening intently: was the cloven foot of Mr. Grant''s heresy now at last about to appear plainly? |
2433 | She had heard the music, she said-- very soft: would he go on the roof? |
2433 | She lay quiet, slowly waking to fuller consciousness.--Was there not a strange air, a dull odour in the room? |
2433 | She started: had she not heard it a hundred times before, as she lay there in the dark alone? |
2433 | She tried to unclasp it, but could not: which of her bracelets could it be? |
2433 | Should I be able?" |
2433 | Should he tell the earl, or should he not? |
2433 | Simmons tells me I may have as much coal and wood as I like: will you help me to get them up?" |
2433 | So I can not tell a bit what God is like? |
2433 | So long as she is able still to love, she is never quite to be pitied; but when the reaction comes--? |
2433 | Some ghaists hae a cat- like natur for places, an''what for no for banes? |
2433 | Something must be true: why not the worthy-- oftener at least than the unworthy? |
2433 | Suddenly he stopped: were those the sounds of a scuffle he heard on the road before him? |
2433 | That a wall had been built he did not doubt, for he believed he knew the wall, but why? |
2433 | That which is confessedly false and worth nothing?" |
2433 | That would account for a good deal-- would it not?" |
2433 | That''s no the w''y o''his kingdom!--I suppose there''s nae doobt wha?" |
2433 | The branch which could produce such scions, might well be itself a false graft on the true stem of the family!--if not, what was the family worth? |
2433 | The earl himself wrote in reply, saying-- had he been out of the country that he did not know she was dead and six weeks in her grave? |
2433 | The end must come, and what will it be? |
2433 | The father might have a right to know, but had he a right to know from him? |
2433 | Then how am I to love him? |
2433 | Then how did it get into the place? |
2433 | They''re weel eneuch worth duin''the best I can for them; but the morn''s Sunday, an''what hae ye to put on?" |
2433 | Those high, intense, burning tones-- so soft, yet so certain-- what are they? |
2433 | Unreal knowledge is worse than ignorance.--Would not Miss Graeme be a better friend?" |
2433 | Wad he say things''at he didna mean fowk to un''erstan''whan he said them?" |
2433 | Wad ye direc''me to the manse?" |
2433 | Was God indeed to be reached by the prayers, affected by the needs of men? |
2433 | Was anything required of him? |
2433 | Was he in a terrible dream? |
2433 | Was he not more childlike, more straightforward, more simple, and, she could not but think, more obedient than those? |
2433 | Was he the fool of weariness and excitement, or did he actually hear his own name? |
2433 | Was he to hold his tongue and leave the thing as not his, or to speak out as he would have done had the case been his own? |
2433 | Was it God coming to her? |
2433 | Was it a lost music- tone that had wandered from afar and grown faint? |
2433 | Was it a moan of the river from below? |
2433 | Was it a rude utterance? |
2433 | Was it a vision she had had? |
2433 | Was it anything? |
2433 | Was it not while we were yet sinners that he poured out his soul for us? |
2433 | Was it one of those mysterious sounds he had read of as born in the air itself, and not yet explained of science? |
2433 | Was it then true? |
2433 | Was it there, or had he only imagined it? |
2433 | Was it, I say, a thing worth doing, to let us see that they are alive with God all the time, and can be produced any moment he pleases?" |
2433 | Was not that another glimmer on the floor-- from the back of the room-- through a door he did not remember having seen yesterday? |
2433 | Was she going out of her mind? |
2433 | Was she going to die? |
2433 | Was she there to assure him that he might yet hope for the world to come? |
2433 | Was the man out of his mind, or only a sleep- walker? |
2433 | Was the thing a fact or a fancy? |
2433 | Was there anything very strange about it last night? |
2433 | Was there no sin of murder on his soul? |
2433 | Was this a case of the sins of the father being visited on the child? |
2433 | We know very little about these things; but what if the brain give the opportunity for the action which is to result in freedom? |
2433 | We love one another, not ourselves-- don''t we, Davie?" |
2433 | We will call upon her another day.--It is funny, is n''t it, Davie, to go a bird''s- nesting after music on the roof of a house?" |
2433 | What a priori reason do you see why I should not be able to write verses? |
2433 | What business had ye to come efter me this gait, makin''mischief''atween my lord an''me? |
2433 | What can be o''mair importance nor doin''richt i''the sicht o''God?" |
2433 | What could be done? |
2433 | What could he do? |
2433 | What could he do? |
2433 | What could it mean? |
2433 | What could it mean? |
2433 | What could it mean? |
2433 | What could ye lat me hae''t for by the week? |
2433 | What do you know about horses?" |
2433 | What do you think, Davie?" |
2433 | What does it mean? |
2433 | What for sud I threip''at I oucht to hae her? |
2433 | What for sudna I be disapp''intit as weel as anither? |
2433 | What gives you a right to speak?" |
2433 | What ground could such a parent have to complain of his children?" |
2433 | What had befallen him? |
2433 | What hae we sic as yersel''set ower''s for, gien it binna to haud''s i''the straicht path o''what we''re to believe an''no to believe? |
2433 | What idea can a man have of religion who knows nothing of it except from what he hears at church?" |
2433 | What if I imagine myself set in charge over young minds and hearts? |
2433 | What if I know you better than the good man whose friendship for your parents gives him a kind interest in you? |
2433 | What if there should come to him no answer? |
2433 | What if there should, without the brain, be no means of working our liberty? |
2433 | What is the imagination here for?" |
2433 | What king was it, sir, that made the law that no lady, however disagreeable, was to have her ears boxed? |
2433 | What matters the word but for the spirit? |
2433 | What might be the cause of it? |
2433 | What might not a man in the mental and moral condition of the earl, unrestrained by law or conscience, risk to secure the property for his son? |
2433 | What ought he to attempt? |
2433 | What salary do you want?" |
2433 | What should he do? |
2433 | What was Donal to do or think now? |
2433 | What was he then?" |
2433 | What was he to do? |
2433 | What was he to do? |
2433 | What was he to do? |
2433 | What was it I told you?" |
2433 | What was it to him? |
2433 | What was it? |
2433 | What was it? |
2433 | What was required of him? |
2433 | What would the earl think of him? |
2433 | What''s a poet?" |
2433 | What''s any thing of all the damned humbug but appearance? |
2433 | Whaur wull ye be?" |
2433 | When at last he lay quiet,"Will you promise to walk out if I let you up?" |
2433 | When he calls my name shall I not answer?" |
2433 | When he puts joy in my heart, shall I not be glad? |
2433 | When he stopped,--"Now have you eased your mind?" |
2433 | When it was ready,"Now, my lord,"said Donal,"will you come?" |
2433 | When what may be makes no show, what more natural than to imagine about it? |
2433 | When you are my teacher, Davie, I try-- don''t I-- to do everything you tell me?" |
2433 | Whence then this sense of something akin to shame? |
2433 | Where is the refuge of the child who fears his father? |
2433 | Where was the use of giving in, when I kept her in hand so easily that way? |
2433 | Who dared make changes in his house? |
2433 | Who knows what the thing we call air is? |
2433 | Who would know the shape of a chair who took his idea of it from its shadow on the floor? |
2433 | Whose fault is that?" |
2433 | Why did n''t you come and wake me, Davie, my boy?" |
2433 | Why had he such a fancy for his old bones? |
2433 | Why her mother? |
2433 | Why say all you think?" |
2433 | Why should I fear the best thing that, in its time, can come to me? |
2433 | Why should he be ashamed of anything coming upon him from without? |
2433 | Why should he move? |
2433 | Why should she only hear of him at second hand-- always and always? |
2433 | Why should the dead haunt their bones as if to make sure of having their own again?" |
2433 | Why should we draw his plough?" |
2433 | Why should you compel a confession of my faith?" |
2433 | Why should you want to learn me?" |
2433 | Why should you want to write one?" |
2433 | Will it be in the library?" |
2433 | Without means, what was he to do? |
2433 | Would God leave his creature who trusted in him at the mercy of a chance-- of a glass of wine taken in ignorance? |
2433 | Would I not be to blame? |
2433 | Would his factor otherwise have dared such liberties with him, the lady''s guardian? |
2433 | Would his wife so receive him at the last with forgiveness and endearment? |
2433 | Would it have been a breach of your promise if you had gone to the castle on some service to the man you almost murdered? |
2433 | Would she be prudent, or spoil everything by precipitation? |
2433 | Would she claim his promise thence, tempting him thither? |
2433 | Would she start and vanish away? |
2433 | Would that be like a father? |
2433 | Would the souls of the mariners shipwrecked this night go forth into the ceaseless turmoil? |
2433 | Would they then be victorious over God, too strong for him to overcome-- beyond the reach of repentance? |
2433 | Would you have done it?" |
2433 | Would you like some now? |
2433 | Would you say you had it solely for your own and your family''s good, or for that of the tenants as well?" |
2433 | Wouldst thou lie like a stone till the aching morn Out of the dark be born? |
2433 | Ye hae seen a mither ower her wee lassie''s sampler? |
2433 | You can examine it when you please.--If only you could find my bad dream, and drive it out!--Will you come now?" |
2433 | You did n''t think I was afraid of him?" |
2433 | You did not really see anything, did you?" |
2433 | You do n''t mind, do you?" |
2433 | You have testimonials?" |
2433 | You said you heard the music in your own room: would you let me look about in it a little? |
2433 | You say he hears prayer: why should n''t you ask him? |
2433 | You threaten to leave the house-- can you pay for a railway- ticket?" |
2433 | You will not obey my orders: am I to obey yours?" |
2433 | You''ll do as you please-- will you? |
2433 | and I think that is what we must come to.--But where shall we bury them?--where they lie, or in the garden?" |
2433 | and on the altar what was hardly more than the dusty shadow of a baby?" |
2433 | and once in possession of the property, who would dispute the title? |
2433 | and why then should I want to hurt him?" |
2433 | are you? |
2433 | but because you love his memory must I regard him as a Solon? |
2433 | could she be down in the chapel? |
2433 | cried his lordship almost eagerly;"you intend giving your life to teaching?" |
2433 | cried his lordship, glad to turn at right angles from the path of the conversation;"you do n''t surely believe in that legendary personage?" |
2433 | did you say, Stephen? |
2433 | dinna ye ken, sir? |
2433 | do n''t you know that yet? |
2433 | does he wear his sheepskin so well? |
2433 | hae na ye h''ard?" |
2433 | he asked reproachfully:"do you not feel well?" |
2433 | he kept repeating to himself; but what was it? |
2433 | or how far can it be called free, consistently with the notion of a God over all?" |
2433 | repeated the clergyman, with something very like a sneer;"--but what if I think that all a very great deal? |
2433 | returned Andrew,"what ken ye aboot what''s no i''scriptur''? |
2433 | said Donal sternly,"if you saw any impropriety in the ceremony, why did you perform it? |
2433 | said Donal:"what could necromancy, which is one of the branches of magic, do for one at the best?" |
2433 | second hand? |
2433 | she''ll get it the easier oot o''her hert? |
2433 | something might suggest itself!--Is it the room I saw you in once?" |
2433 | that to know yourself may be your hell? |
2433 | that you may come to make it your first care to forget what you are? |
2433 | thought Donal with himself;"an old withered grief looks almost as pitiful as an old withered joy!--But who is to say either is withered? |
2433 | wha ever saw him cheenge word wi''brither man?" |
2433 | what else are we offered in Jesus but the absolutely human? |
2433 | what is that behind you?" |
2433 | what was that shape in the middle?--what was that on the black pillow?--what was that thick line stretching towards one of the head- posts? |
2433 | what were your parents?" |
2433 | what''s come o''the bairn?'' |
2433 | where and how was it to be met? |
2433 | will you preach to me?" |
2433 | would a man deny his own father or mother?" |
2433 | you have seen something?" |
2433 | you would not have God against you?" |
