28221Another half hour will put us to the gates of Bellvieu, eh, Gerald?"
28221Any relation to Blank, the broker?"
28221As for the money, Herr, is that any reason you should ruin your health?"
28221Besides Jim, Gerald, Aurora, and ourselves, there will be no one but Ephraim, unless you care to invite your old chum, Molly Breckenridge?"
28221But the others exchanged glances, as if to say:"Well, I wonder will she ever get enough?"
28221But what is one night''s loss of sleep, anyway?

28221The question now is, what are we going to do?"
28221The trolleys do not run that far, so how--?"
28221Then what are those lights, my dear?"

28221What ship is that?"
28221When do we start, auntie?"
28221When do you begin your apprenticeship?"
28221Where can I see you to- morrow?"
28221Who knows?
28221Why did I ever let you persuade me to become a party to this speed mania, Gerald Blank?"
28221Why do n''t you go?"
28221Why, surely there are other pupils who have more talent and can make a better showing for you than I?"
28221Wo n''t someone please help me?
28221Would he bring his violin?
28221Would it not, Judge Breckenridge?"
28221You are fascinated with it all, yes?"
28221You know his father failed in business, so that he was forced to sell the houseboat, and that Uncle Seth bought it for you?
28221You must have known Molly and I were only joking?"
28221You surely can not afford so expensive a luxury?"

32556A boarding house?
32556About me, Alfy, what could you have been saying about me?
32556Ah, is it so soon? 32556 Alfy, are you sure you are not crazy?"
32556All right,replied Alfy,"do you need me to do up the back of your dress?"
32556An amusing anecdote, and I do n''t doubt a real one,said Aunt Betty, laughing with the others,"but is n''t that a wonderful old fountain?
32556And did you get a room there where Ruth is, Jim?
32556And how about our concert to- night?
32556And how is Miss Ruth, to- day?
32556And what did you think of it, Alfy?
32556And what is this key hanging here for?
32556Are we all here? 32556 Are you all here?"
32556Are you going out in front to sit with your aunt and Alfaretta, after you have finished?
32556Are you going to sing to- day?
32556Are you sure, dear, you have looked all over everything you have?
32556But have n''t you seen enough of the library now?
32556But is n''t it too bad that the locket just disappeared when we needed it? 32556 But, Aunt Betty,"asked Alfy,"what are you going to wear?"
32556Ca n''t we all go?
32556Can I go with you?
32556Can I wear that new pink dress, Aunty?
32556Can any one stay here and read anything they want, and as long as they want?
32556Can it take us back, then?
32556Could n''t you have walked a little faster, Ruth?
32556Dear, dear child, do n''t you know how foolish that was to do? 32556 Did Mr. Sterling have anything to do with trying to get you the place, Jim?"
32556Did anyone in the passenger cars get hurt?
32556Did you come to keep us company all the afternoon?
32556Did you have an uneventful trip?
32556Do n''t the people in New York care for gardens, aunty dear?
32556Do n''t you think it would be real nice if we four went for a drive this afternoon? 32556 Do the Republicans sit on the left of the Speaker here, and the Democrats on the right, as in the House?"
32556Do you and Alfy want to be audience again, while I play over my pieces once more?
32556Do you know their names? 32556 Do you know,"he repeated,"that I would like to render such service that you would never wish for any other servitor?"
32556Do you suppose I can get them here?
32556Do you suppose we have struck another train?
32556Do you think it is going to be real serious?
32556Do you want me to play again in New York?
32556Do you want to see the stage?
32556Do you want your black wrap? 32556 Dorothy dear, whatever made you forget?"
32556Dorothy girl, are you still in bed?
32556Dorothy, child, what ails you?
32556Dorothy, little Dorothy, did n''t you know before? 32556 Go home?"
32556Guess what?
32556Guess what?
32556Have n''t you any business friends in New York?
32556Have you no other proof?
32556How do they use it?
32556How many shall we need?
32556How, oh how, can I get it? 32556 Hurt her?
32556I ca n''t understand it, can you?
32556I suppose I ought to know, but who is the Speaker, and what does he do?
32556I wonder,said Aunt Betty, slowly, for she had been thinking,"I wonder if it could be?
32556I''m not scared, I''m sure of that; but do you think the people will like me?
32556In the taxi? 32556 Is any one hurt?"
32556Is it here?
32556Is n''t the floor lovely? 32556 Is that Benjamin Franklin?"
32556Is there anything else that you would like to have pressed, now that I am working?
32556Is there anything you would like to ask me?
32556Is this right?
32556Is this the place? 32556 It can take back two cars, sir,"answered the conductor,"and would you object, sir, if I put some other passengers in here with you?"
32556It certainly is simple, and I will surely be able to play at the reception to- morrow afternoon?
32556Jim, dear, you too feel sad?
32556Jim, do you want to stay here and be my audience while I practice and tell me what you think of my playing?
32556Let me see, little miss, how about the proof I must have? 32556 Ma, can I have the sampler?"
32556Ma, ma,and Alfy ran in the kitchen calling louder as she went:"Where did you put my raincoat?
32556Ma, who did you say?
32556May I have it?
32556May I have the sampler, Alfy?
32556May I quote for you a little gem that is aptly expressive of my sentiments?
32556Mr. Ludlow,asked Dorothy,"where shall I stand?"
32556No it is n''t, is it Jim?
32556Oh dear, Dorothy did n''t I get you the book to read?
32556Oh, Dorothy,Gerald called back,"when shall I return for you?"
32556Oh, ca n''t I stay and talk?
32556Or did you just wish to hear Dorothy play?
32556Or taken the stage to the station if you were so tired? 32556 Shall I get the stamps?"
32556Shall I get your things all out and have everything all ready for you?
32556Shall we get a Capitol guide?
32556Shall we ride?
32556That does n''t excuse my little girl,remarked Aunt Betty, and turning to Dorothy,"What is it we are going to hear, dearest?"
32556That saves us a good deal of trouble and expense, does n''t it? 32556 Then I may go?"
32556Then do I understand that all Dorothy has to do is to prove she is Dorothy Winchester Calvert and she will come into this inheritance?
32556Then, maybe our floor will not be burned at all?
32556Was n''t that a nice idea to put the flag back there?
32556Well, Alfy, all ready to go home?
32556Well, Dorothy girl,said Aunt Betty, turning to her,"what will it be?"
32556Well, Dorothy, child,asked Mr. Ludlow,"is everything all right?
32556Well, ca n''t my little girl wait till then and see what more, for herself? 32556 Well, have you all selected those you wish?"
32556Well, what next, Dorothy girl?
32556Well, young man, what is it this time?
32556What Hannah? 32556 What about the concert?
32556What are we going to do now? 32556 What are we to do now?"
32556What are you going to put in?
32556What are you talking about? 32556 What did Aunt Betty have to say?"
32556What did Mr. Van Zandt say?
32556What did he want, dear?
32556What did you do with it?
32556What did you see?
32556What did you want him for, Jim?
32556What do you think of me?
32556What do you think of the fire?
32556What does it represent?
32556What dress do you want to wear?
32556What is Alfy talking about, Aunt Betty?
32556What is a mace?
32556What is it you want to say?
32556What is it, ma?
32556What is that star set in the floor for?
32556What is this next room?
32556What kind of ice cream would you like, Alfy?
32556What may they be?
32556What may you want?
32556What shall I do with these? 32556 What time is it, I wonder?"
32556What would you like to have?
32556What''s that? 32556 What''s the matter, Alfy?"
32556When is another train due here?
32556Where did all these statues come from?
32556Where did you have it last?
32556Where do you suppose?
32556Where is Dorothy? 32556 Where is it near?"
32556Where is it?
32556Where is it?
32556Where next?
32556Who are all these statues of?
32556Who gave you those beautiful violets you are wearing, that just match your eyes?
32556Who is it, then, that uses that beautifully carved high backed chair on that little platform there?
32556Who uses them?
32556Whose room is this?
32556Why has the locket gone?
32556Why not ask Mr. Ludlow? 32556 Why not?"
32556Why, Alfy, what have you there?
32556Would n''t it be odd if it was his mother who made this sampler? 32556 Would n''t that be rather lonesome, Miss Ruth?"
32556Would n''t you rather have someone else here with you?
32556Yes, and are you to sing?
32556Yes, and did you see this one?
32556Yes, do you want to come out with me?
32556Yes, where?
32556Yes,answered Aunt Betty,"what is it?
32556You are to play to- night, are you not?
32556You will miss me?
32556You will promise me then? 32556 You will?"
32556And I can start to- morrow-- yes?
32556And can I wear the red hair ribbon Ma Babcock bought me from Liza Jane''s?"
32556And is Mr. Dauntrey there?"
32556And so you think that perhaps Mr. Van Zandt will find out all about poor little Lem''s parents just from that sampler that Alfy found in the attic?
32556And was she very poor-- poorer than we?"
32556And what is the name?
32556And why are all the lights out?"
32556And why did the train lurch so?
32556And you are a solo violinist?"
32556And, my-- what was that in the corner?
32556Are we to stay right where we are, conductor?"
32556Aunt Betty carefully read the letter through and turning to Jim, asked,"What are you going to do about it, my boy?"
32556Aunt Betty, where are you?"
32556Ca n''t think of anyone else writing me, can you?
32556Can we have oysters, Aunt Betty?"
32556Come now, tell me what you want us to dress for?"
32556Could n''t you guess?"
32556Could you care, not as much as I do, now, but just a little?"
32556Could you?
32556Dauntrey?"
32556Did I do better than I did this afternoon before I went in to see Mr. Ludlow, and did you notice the difference in the playing of the last piece?"
32556Did n''t Mr. Ludlow tell you?"
32556Did n''t you hear a knock?"
32556Did they all belong to Washington?"
32556Do you know where it is?"
32556Do you like it?
32556Do you remember, Jim?
32556Do you think it could be possible that this sampler was made by his mother?
32556Do you think it is becoming?
32556Do you think so, Aunt Betty?"
32556Do you think, Jim, that traveling will hurt Aunt Betty?"
32556Do you want to talk business with me?"
32556Dorothy dear, will you see if you can find my glasses?
32556Dorothy finished her piece and then came over and kissed her aunt, saying,"Dear Aunt Betty, have you and Alfy enjoyed yourselves?"
32556Dorothy had risen, and coming to him, placed her hands in his and said,"Is this all true or just a joke?"
32556Dorothy liked to have Jim assume authority over her in this manner, and questioned gayly:"Well, Father Jim, what did he want?"
32556Dorothy looked at the large room and the many chairs and said hesitatingly,"Will it be crowded?"
32556Dorothy, greatly surprised, questioned,"You are coming back, Gerald?"
32556Have I you to thank for bringing her to me?"
32556Have n''t we, Jim?"
32556How can Jim tell us while you are talking?"
32556I did n''t keep you waiting very long to- day, did I?"
32556I think the first letter is''W,''not''M,''"and turning to Alfy,"what did Ma Babcock say about the name?"
32556I was going to say-- what was I going to say?"
32556Is it of great value?"
32556Is n''t he a handsome man?"
32556Is n''t it all very beautiful?"
32556Is n''t it wonderful?
32556Is n''t that so?"
32556Is there anything now you want to ask me?"
32556Is there going to be people in all of them?"
32556It''s been more than a year since you have seen me, is n''t it?"
32556Jim answered,"Will you tell Miss Boothington that Miss Dorothy Calvert wishes to see her?"
32556Jim seized her hands and asked hurriedly,"Could you love me?
32556Let me see-- just what day is this?"
32556Ludlow?"
32556Ludlow?"
32556Matthew heard her and came running up, saying:"What''s the matter, sis?"
32556Mr. Ludlow usually attends to Ruth himself; I wonder why he has not thought of her?"
32556Mrs. Calvert then asked,"Did anyone see out of the window when the flash of lightning lit up this car?"
32556Mrs. Calvert, who was facing the window, looked out and gasped,"Oh, why do n''t they stop the train?"
32556Now, Dorothy child, what would you like to play?
32556Now, is n''t this a nice, long, newsy letter?
32556Now?
32556Oh, Jim, what day does the 27th of September fall on?"
32556Oh, dear, oh, dear; do you really suppose that I will be a very great violinist?"
32556Oh, did you look in the closet in the barn?
32556Oh, why is it I never get into any such wonderful adventures?"
32556On reaching a small outer office he asked of a pleasant faced girl sitting there,"Can I see Mr. Van Zandt?
32556On the way out from the library, Dorothy asked,"Mr. Ludlow, are all these pictures and pieces of statuary done by Italians and other foreigners?"
32556Please, please tell me?
32556Ruth and Mr. Dauntrey, where are they?"
32556Ruth questioned,"Is he cross?
32556Ruth started off by saying,"Dorothy, do you believe what this guide is telling us or do you think he is fooling us?"
32556Ruth thought this a pretty spot indeed, and exclaimed,"Oh, just see here, is n''t this a romantic spot?
32556See the carved figures?"
32556She said to Mrs. Calvert:"Aunt Betty, what shall I do?
32556She turned and saw Jim on the veranda outside the window, and crossing the room and lifting up the French sash she said,"What is it, Jim?"
32556So you are the Jim she speaks of in the letter, and says I may question concerning these matters?"
32556The fact was suggestive of further danger, and then Dorothy questioned,"What was the crash?
32556The offer is for work in the-- what department is it?"
32556Then Alfy summoned her lost courage and said as calmly as she could,"Who''s there?"
32556Then Ruth broke the silence by asking,"Where is your violin, Dorothy?"
32556Then quickly changing his tone of voice to a more cheerful one, he continued:"Dear, never mind, we can be the same old friends again, ca n''t we?"
32556Then you will come to me, girl?"
32556Then, Dorothy girl, you will give me my answer?"
32556Was it fire?
32556Was someone being robbed, or murdered, or what?
32556We can have this one secret from everyone else, ca n''t we?
32556What are you to play?"
32556What can I give you to sew?
32556What day is it?
32556What did you find to talk about?"
32556What is it?"
32556What is that brass disk for?"
32556What shall I do, oh, what shall I do?"
32556What shall I do?"
32556What shall I wear?"
32556What time is it, I wonder?
32556When did you come into the room, just now?"
32556When she had finished, she laid down her violin, and came and stood in front of her aunt, questioning:"Do you think I played them well enough?
32556When?
32556Where are you?"
32556Where are you?"
32556Where have you been?"
32556Where is she?"
32556Where is that?
32556Where?
32556Who sent them to you?"
32556Why, Dorothy, what has happened?
32556Will you please now tell me what you would like to have me wear?"
32556Will you see that they are placed in Mr. Van Zandt''s hands safely?
32556Would Alfy be the companion?
32556You are not scared, are you?
32556You do not mind playing there, do you?
32556You here, too?
32556You remember her saying that she was tired of boarding house meals, do you not?"
32556You remember the convent we saw in Jackson Park yesterday, where they had all of those Columbus relics?"
32556You remember them, do n''t you, Dorothy?"
32556You say you think that Mrs. Haley, or Hannah Woodrow, is dead?"
32556You will, will you not?"
32556You will?
32556angrily added Alfy,"why could n''t ma have a dress like that?
32556he questioned,"really miss me?"
32556what have you done?"
26389A lantern, in this moonlight?
26389A nurse, too? 26389 Be I awake or asleep?
26389But your suit? 26389 But-- is it safe?
26389But--"''But''--what? 26389 Ca n''t you talk, kid?"
26389Could it? 26389 Dear, did you ask the man you call Silent Pete if he passed them anywhere along the road?"
26389Do what again, child?
26389Eh? 26389 Fits good, hey?"
26389Girl, how can you?
26389Has Leslie ever been here before?
26389Have you heard it before? 26389 How are you, sonny?"
26389How came you by that Indian rig? 26389 How can anybody be tired in this glorious air?"
26389How''s business, Andy?
26389However could you see it? 26389 Is it as good as the''cabin,''father?"
26389Is it far? 26389 Is n''t it fine?
26389Is n''t it splendid? 26389 Is this the lad with the injured arm?"
26389Is-- is-- he-- dead?
26389Josà ©, where is this place?
26389Lem, do you think you can run San Leon without me for a few days?
26389Leslie? 26389 Like brook trout, Mis''Ford?"
26389Ma''am? 26389 Molly, what''s the matter?"
26389Now, if we are to''inspect''the''Barracks,''is n''t it time? 26389 Odd, is n''t it?
26389Our very own? 26389 Rather-- what''s down?
26389San Lean? 26389 So you''re up against a tough proposition, are you, youngsters?
26389Suit? 26389 That fellow smart?
26389The doctor? 26389 W- h- a- t?"
26389Well, what''s a hen''s business in life but to lay eggs?
26389Well, you would n''t want a half one, would you, Miss Babcock? 26389 Well, young man?"
26389Were you asleep?
26389What does it mean?
26389What on earth does it mean?
26389What then? 26389 What''s a doin'', younkers?
26389What''s happened, Helena?
26389What''s the difference? 26389 What''s the matter, Les?
26389What? 26389 Where do you suppose Wun Sing is?"
26389Where-- am-- I? 26389 Where-- am-- I?"
26389Who is''Barnaby,''Alfy?
26389Why, Lady Gray, I could n''t let a girl like Molly ride away alone, could I? 26389 Why-- why-- aren''t you coming too?
26389Will you come over there and bring me just another such a luncheon, girlie?
26389Yes, dear, but suppose-- suppose something happened? 26389 You men- folks like''em, too?"
26389A bear hunt?
26389Ai n''t he cute?"
26389Ai n''t it awful solemn in such woods in the night- time?
26389Ai n''t she the best ever?"
26389Ai n''t that great?
26389Ai n''t these the heaviest plates and cups you ever saw?
26389Ai n''t you nowise curious to hear how Netty passed the night?"
26389Alfy leapt from her little bed with an answering cry, frightened by Dorothy''s screech, and hurriedly demanding:"Why-- why-- what?"
26389All right, everybody?
26389All the rest afraid, too?
26389All the white tents on the campus and the darling boys walking about in their white--""Nighties?"
26389An Indian is an Indian, is n''t he?
26389And are n''t we happy?
26389And how long at a time does a fellow keep at it?
26389And say, did anybody ever hear of such a thing before?"
26389And what her father-- could he see his madcap at that moment?
26389And, in any case, what better amusement could you have?
26389Anybody want to go in with me on this deal?
26389Are you crazy?
26389At which the girl also laughed and turned to Jim, asking:"What does he say?
26389Brainy?
26389But Matty did it real cute, after all, did n''t he?
26389But as they passed a room just beyond Leslie''s own, he poked his head through the window, to demand of Mateo, lying within:"Any better, boy?"
26389But do n''t you like it?
26389But suppose it_ had_ been a real one-- would it have eaten us up?"
26389But tell me, what shall I call you?"
26389But this thing I''m on-- Call this a horse?
26389But was n''t he just grand-- and hideous?"
26389But when silence followed Leslie impatiently inquired:"Well, why do n''t you?"
26389But why?
26389By the way, Wunny, when did you empty the nest?"
26389CHAPTER VII A RIFLE PRACTICE"Mother, what do you mean?
26389Ca n''t you think anything, see anything but-- stones?
26389Can I run there quick?
26389Can bears-- open-- open-- things?"
26389Can you bring me some water?
26389Can you ride a horse, Little One?"
26389Captain Lemuel, please saddle Azul for Jim Barlow, and, Daniel, will you use him, please, till Jim comes back?"
26389Captain saluted his"chief"and replied, a trifle testily:"That''s what I have been doin''for a purty consid''able spell, ai n''t it, Boss?"
26389Clever?
26389Could I, as a gentleman, let you ride off alone on a lonely road at night?
26389Could a fowl, free from an evil spirit, so conduct itself?
26389Did I hurt you?
26389Did n''t Leslie tell you?"
26389Did n''t you know a thing about it, Dolly Doodles?"
26389Did n''t you understand?
26389Did you ever see such a sleepy head, Nell?"
26389Did you ever wear an Indian costume?"
26389Did you think they was from the Plains?"
26389Did you understand?"
26389Do n''t s''pose with all them men around they''d have let it live very long?
26389Do n''t suppose your folks''d eat a bigger mess''n that, do you?
26389Do n''t you know how to set a table yet, great girl like you?
26389Do n''t you know how to treat a lady?"
26389Do you know those poor lambs have to change their white suits every day?
26389Do you know when your shirt''s buttoned or when it ai n''t?
26389Do you know where he is?
26389Do you know where they are?"
26389Do you know, Papa is getting quite anxious for a stock farm?
26389Do you know-- do you?--where that other hotel is, that Metropolitan?"
26389Do you s''pose I''ll desert her?
26389Do you s''pose I''ll ever do it again?"
26389Do you want something?"
26389Does n''t it, Miss Dorothy?"
26389Donde?_"Dorothy stared at him, then put her hands on each side his chubby face and kissed him.
26389Dorothy listened, asking questions now and then, and finally inquired:"Is this Alaric an Indian?"
26389Eh, Alfy?
26389Eh, Little One?
26389Eh, what?
26389Eh?"
26389Either that-- or-- are you quite sure that no practical joke has been played by any of the boys-- or by yourselves?"
26389Even my father--""Never mind him, then, but tell me how in the world you happened to come just here and now?"
26389Fast?
26389Ford?"
26389Ford?"
26389Ford?"
26389Ford?"
26389Girths tight?
26389Gone to raisin''sheep, have ye?
26389Have n''t I, with my nerves, lived through that ride?
26389He laid his hand upon her head and gently asked:"Was he your brother, little girl?"
26389He looked to the sympathetic girl as if he were very tired and, leaving the rest, she crossed to him and asked:"Who are you, little boy?
26389He recognized Dorothy as the girl to whom he had given his pet lamb and promptly demanded:"_ El cordero?
26389He tried to speak and after several efforts succeeded in asking, audibly:"Where am I?"
26389He will probably be found near at hand, although--""Has n''t he been looked for''near at hand,''then, dear Gray Lady?"
26389He-- When he had reached this point, Alfy shook him demanding:"What makes you such a fool, Wunny?
26389Hear me, Dorothy Doodles?"
26389Hear me?
26389How could I when she came from Jim?"
26389How dared they give me such a thing?"
26389How did you do it, child?
26389How did you get so far away from''em, alone?"
26389How in my senses have you all got away out here to this jumpin''off place of all creation?
26389How in the world did I ever fancy it?
26389How many have you found?"
26389How many will the first buckboard carry?"
26389How much of all that stuff do you really want?"
26389How much''ll you take for her, cooky?
26389How soon do you leave, Mr. Ford?
26389How tell whether a horse is groomed or is n''t?"
26389How''d he come by them?
26389How''s Ma Babcock?
26389How''s Melvin?"
26389How''s Pa?
26389How''s every single one the precious folks up- mounting?
26389However, neither the cabman nor Leslie accepted their offering, and the latter exclaimed:"Ai n''t this rippin''?
26389I can''t-- how can I?--let her go alone?"
26389I have n''t anybody but Jim, that has known me always, seems if, and-- and dear Doctor, wo n''t you please, please find him?"
26389I-- I love you best of all the world, so why should n''t we keep together?"
26389If I had shot him instead of his clothes what would they have done to me?
26389If you thought about me why did n''t you come back to look for me?"
26389If you wo n''t go, will you send somebody?"
26389Is it a surprise?
26389Is it so?
26389Is n''t it fine of Mrs. Roderick to get a meal this time of night, or day, or whatever hour it is?"
26389Is n''t it past breakfast time?"
26389Is n''t there something I-- we-- can do to help you off?
26389Is that your pert valet laid up in yon?
26389Is there a doctor here?"
26389It''s all settled, is n''t it?
26389It''s kindness to let him alone and--"Dolly looked serious and shook her head while Monty again demanded:"Have you heard about Wun Sing''s hen?"
26389Kind of takes a feller''s breath away, do n''t it?"
26389Lady Gray, will you practice with us?"
26389Lessen a little tenderfoot like-- Why, what''s he down for?
26389Like to see where the boys hang out?
26389Mattie put her arms akimbo and stared; then demanded, in turn:"Ca n''t you do anything sensibler than''whip''cream?
26389May I go to the doctor?"
26389Maybe, too, who knows?
26389Miss Milliken, did you ever''cross the plains''before?"
26389Money?
26389Mr. Ford started off at a brisk pace, the young folks trying to equal his long strides, and Alfaretta asking:"Is that cripple crazy?
26389No?
26389Nobody could; eh, what?"
26389Nor one that was n''t living?"
26389Now why?"
26389Now, Captain, ca n''t we go on and find out what wonderful thing is hidden in that corral behind these Barracks?"
26389Now-- here she goes:''Three Blind Mice-- Three Blind Mice-- For mercy''s sake, Helena Montaigne, why do n''t you take it up?
26389Now-- when do you start?
26389Odd, is n''t it?
26389Or father?
26389Or is it my own impatience?"
26389Or try to overtake the others?"
26389Ride, eh?
26389Robson?"
26389Says--"Dorothy looked up from her own task to ask:"Why should he let you buy it then?"
26389See how it shines?
26389Shall I carry it?"
26389Shall we go back?
26389She ended with the question:"Will you go back with me now, Jim?
26389Silver?
26389Sort of needs washin'', do n''t it?
26389Stirrups to suit?
26389Suppose we get old Lem to go with us into the mountains yonder and look for Jim?"
26389That I love best of all the world?
26389That fur away?"
26389That she who so longed to have this home and so enjoyed it should have to leave it to us, a lot of strange youngsters, to use instead?"
26389The Mexican flushed and sighed:"It is that_ el señor_ is not well,_ si_?"
26389The schoolma''am lady, for instance?"
26389The visitors had smiled, too, but with amusement at this odd old ranchman''s discipline; and Monty had whispered:"What makes''em put up with it?
26389Then turning toward Monty, valiantly struggling with this new business, he inquired in real kindness:"Want me to lend a hand, youngster?"
26389They had been a little company of eight and because one was away should the seven be made to suffer?
26389Though I suppose you''ll be willing, we, your guests, shall do as we please?"
26389Tried it on himself?"
26389Want the rest of those berries, girlie?
26389Was he not a free- born American citizen, as good as could be found in all the country?
26389Was it that scared you?"
26389Was n''t he master at San Leon, now?
26389Was that what the young señor had set his heart upon and been denied?
26389Wasting the time when there''s so little of it?
26389Well, Mrs. Ford, have you arranged the company?"
26389Well, are you comin''or not?"
26389Well, señor?"
26389Were the three boys planning to steal off by themselves, despite Captain Lemuel''s warnings?
26389Were they not to show Mr. Ford how well they could carry themselves?
26389What can I do?"
26389What do you say, folks?
26389What do you say?"
26389What does he want?"
26389What does it all mean?"
26389What does this mean?
26389What had not Dolly been to him?
26389What makes you ask?"
26389What right has he to order them around?"
26389What say?"
26389What was that she was saying?
26389What would Aunt Lucretia say?
26389What you goin''to name your lamb, Little One?"
26389What''d he mean by sellin''things to''Cookies''and what''s a''school- ma''am- racket''?"
26389What''d the Boss say?"
26389What''s the matter with the hen, anyway?"
26389What''s the matter?"
26389What''s the use of a ranch on the Rockies and not go bear hunting?
26389What''s the use of making it a work day, then?
26389What''s up, Boss?"
26389What''s up, Sis?"
26389What''s up?"
26389What''s wrong with her, you think, Wunny?"
26389What''s wrong?
26389What''s your name?"
26389What''tragedy''could have happened up here in this lovely place?"
26389What-- here-- why?
26389What-- was-- that?"
26389What?
26389Whenever had he used such an expression?
26389Where are the others, do you think?
26389Where can we look for Wunny?
26389Where did you get that?"
26389Where do you think that buckboard is?"
26389Where is Leslie?"
26389Where''d you find it?"
26389Where?"
26389Who are you?"
26389Who could have sent it?"
26389Who''d have believed it?
26389Who''s afraid?"
26389Why Netty, if you please?"
26389Why did you, Leslie, run away into all that danger against my wishes?"
26389Why do you do that?"
26389Why does n''t he come in?
26389Why should n''t I?
26389Why should there be any difference?
26389Why?"
26389Why?"
26389Why?"
26389Will it please_ el señor_ to listen?"
26389Will you all help me?
26389Will you all take my dear husband''s words for a summer text and make life at this dear San Leon a synonym of''Peace and Good Will''?"
26389Will you take it?"
26389Will you?"
26389Would I have been hung by the neck till you are dead and the Lord have mercy on your soul?
26389Would I?"
26389You do n''t?
26389You knew you were going to an isolated ranch on a mountain, so how could you expect daily papers, visitors, and such things?
26389You like to go along, Helena?"
26389You wo n''t go, eh?
26389_ Wo n''t_ you make them give me the right case?"
26389_ Wun Sing?_ Why that was the name of Aunt Betty''s cook at_ El Paraiso_!
26389could tell if that too studious youth were alive or dead?
26389do you think so?
26389how could I sleep so?
26389is n''t this going to be just a glorious summer?
26389is n''t this rippin''?
26389shrieked the onlookers,"what have you done?"
26389sir, have you found him?"
26389where''s Dad?"
26389you are, eh?
41117And you ai n''t goin''to the gold mine after all?
41117Beautiful, is n''t it, lad? 41117 But how happened you to call me that''Dorothy C.''as only my own people do?
41117But, Alfaretta, do they always call you by your whole, full name?
41117Can you speak freely before the little maid, John Chester?
41117Coffee? 41117 Did Pa Babcock bring his dinner, Martha?"
41117Do you mean that Miss Montaigne is willing, can afford, to provide food for a large company like that? 41117 Dolly Chester, what you thinkin''of?
41117Easy as fallin''off a log, ai n''t it?
41117Fun? 41117 Garden?
41117Gold mine? 41117 Gold mine?
41117Heard? 41117 How could he ever get cream enough to fill such a thing?
41117How- do, Mis''Cecil? 41117 Jim Barlow, have you lost your tongue?
41117Like them? 41117 Looks as if he might be, does n''t he?
41117My little Dorothy, will you come to live with me, and become_ my_ adopted daughter?
41117Over it? 41117 Per day, working on every consecutive day?"
41117Rewrite it? 41117 Say they have n''t sold me that south meadow, do they, friend?
41117See there?
41117Seven fifty-- somebody higher? 41117 Shall we take the pony with us to the circus?
41117Shall you see Mr. Sands again, to- night?
41117Than he wo n''t be-- be murdered?
41117The way to Seth''s shop? 41117 Think?
41117Well, John, what is it? 41117 What you laughing at?"
41117When do you want this picnic?
41117When''s it comin''off? 41117 When?
41117Where-- is-- Dorothy C.?
41117Who''ll go first?
41117Why not? 41117 Why not?"
41117Why, Peter Piper, what you bringin''old Brindle up here for? 41117 Will you believe me-- he is not?
41117Will you promise not to laugh nor-- nor disbelieve?
41117Will you stay for supper, Mr. Babcock, or shall we take some other time for talking about business?
41117Wo n''t you let Mr. Chester take your place in your carriage, Mr. Montaigne, and you walk alongside me? 41117 You wish to hire out?"
41117You''do n''t see why,''Jim Barlow, I feel so worried over what Mrs. Calvert asked? 41117 _ You-- have?_""Often and often.
41117''Not for anything?''
41117''Peter Piper,''are you?
41117--that the man positively refused to take pay for his day''s labor, even though he can ill afford to lose his time?
41117A big girl like you?"
41117A dream misled him-- Thee has heard the story, John?"
41117Advertised for a cow, did n''t you?
41117After a moment of pondering he asked:"Why did n''t your folks see IT if you did?"
41117Ai n''t it queer to be adopted?
41117Ai n''t that queer?
41117Ai n''t you glad you come?"
41117Ai n''t you going to?
41117Alfaretta faced about and keenly scrutinized Dorothy''s face, demanding:"You makin''fun, or not?"
41117Amid the laugh that followed this sally a third man called over the wall from the road beyond:"Hello, mister?
41117An''you stand aside, will you?
41117And do n''t you know your own mountain neighbors?
41117And is n''t Hannah the oddest for-- a cow?
41117And what is a picnic, anyway?"
41117Any ghost be_ harmless_?"
41117Are n''t you a beauty?
41117Are you alive?
41117Are you ever whipped?
41117Are you going to be happy there?
41117Are you hurt?"
41117As for harm-- has he harmed your garden by his presence?
41117Besides, what would my friend Mrs. Calvert think if I deserted her in this base fashion?
41117But Helena drew up with haughtiness, demanding:"What can you be thinking of, Herbert Montaigne?
41117But can that little girl drive?"
41117But whatever shall we do with a whole day?"
41117But where was Dorothy-- who should have been foremost with sympathy and cheer?
41117But who in the world would buy?
41117But why are n''t you in there with all the others?
41117But-- What are the other things you thought about, and made you laugh?
41117CHAPTER XVII ON THE ROAD TO THE CIRCUS"Ai n''t this grand, Dorothy?
41117Calvert?"
41117Can nobody-- nobody save him?"
41117Chester?"
41117Come this way, wo n''t you, Mr.--Mr.--''Skyrie,''is it?"
41117Comfortable, be ye?
41117Contemplation of the creatures gave Martha great pleasure, till Dorothy suddenly propounded the question:"Who''s going to milk Hannah?
41117Could any ghost be_ good_?
41117Could she and Mrs. Calvert have been discussing her in this way?
41117DOROTHY AT SKYRIE BY EVELYN RAYMOND ILLUSTRATED New York THE PLATT& PECK CO.[ Illustration:"HOW MUCH AM I BID FOR THE BEAUTIFUL CALICO PONY?"]
41117Did I hear somebody bid seven dollars?
41117Did Mrs. Calvert know?
41117Did ever anybody see such a beautiful, beau- ti- ful spot as this?
41117Did you come to breakfast, too?
41117Did you ever go to one?"
41117Did you ever see such beauties?
41117Did you see the whole affair?"
41117Do n''t ever let anybody else steal you away from me, will you?
41117Do n''t you ever eat fish?
41117Do n''t you like it?
41117Do you find me right?"
41117Do you know this boy?"
41117Do you know who I am?"
41117Do you know why?"
41117Do you like to fish?"
41117Do you remember that date?
41117Do you sugar your strawberries in the dish?
41117Do you think it is, Jim dear?"
41117Do you wear that kind all the time?
41117Do you-- does thee see my pretty pony?
41117Dorothy Chester, where''s your good sense at?
41117Eh, little Kit?
41117Eh?
41117Eighteen?
41117Ever gather any water lilies?"
41117Ever see one?
41117Ever taste a planked shad?"
41117First, see here?"
41117Fried chicken?
41117Fust off, Dorothy, will you correct me every time I use bad language?"
41117Give me a job, wo n''t ye?"
41117Go on with the ghost, will you?"
41117Have the weeds grown faster or the vegetables less, because of his nightly visitations to it?
41117Have you read it yet?
41117He changed the subject and inquired:"If you seen IT, what did it look like?"
41117He had returned sooner than was expected or desired, but could he relegate his own intelligent task to anybody else?
41117He laughed and Dorothy clapped her hands, demanding:"What was he like?
41117Hot?
41117How can that be, since I came to Skyrie only last night?
41117How can we feed so many people?
41117How come dese yeah dogs done gone got dey chains broke?
41117How could anybody fall upon stones in that way and not be injured?
41117How dare you speak to me like that?"
41117How dare you?
41117How did you know that about the garden and the night- time?
41117How did you know we were going to have one?
41117How do you like Deerhurst?
41117How feed them all?
41117How in the world could our Dolly be a witness in any such affair?
41117How much am I bid for the beautiful calico pony, beloved of a widow and orphans?
41117How much do my parents owe you''on demand''?"
41117How much?"
41117How''d the trial go?
41117How- de- do, Peter?"
41117How- de- do?
41117How- de- do?"
41117How-- how come it?"
41117How-- much?"
41117I do n''t believe one advertisement in a country paper would cost a whole dollar: do you?"
41117I have to believe my own eyes, have n''t I?"
41117I never lived on a farm, you know, and enjoyed your advantages of knowledge: and, by the way, what will we do with the creatures when we get them?
41117I s''pose you''ve been down to the gold mine, ai n''t you?"
41117I say, how dare you knock me down like that?
41117I suppose you''ve heard it, have n''t you?"
41117I tell you, is n''t it a good thing the Lord sent us such a splendid day?
41117I''ve done it now, have n''t I?
41117I-- you''re not a goody- good girl nor a''fraid- cat, now are you?"
41117I--_what shall we do_?
41117Is breakfast ready?
41117Is he one of the''men''you furnished for the day?"
41117Is it another''sale''?"
41117Is n''t he the sort of boy you like?
41117Is n''t life a terrible, terrible perplexity?"
41117Is n''t she the dearest?
41117Is that what you were thinking, my dear?
41117Is thee ready?"
41117Is there any old lumber''round,''t you can spare?"
41117Is there one on these premises?
41117It was the presence of Mrs. Calvert which did the most for us, though the man has more sense than appeared, yesterday, else he wouldn''t-- Why, Jim?
41117It''s ready, ai n''t it, Mis''Chester?"
41117James?
41117Jim always can do what he wants to do; and-- shall we never, never, have our breakfast?
41117Jim, do you believe that Peter Piper is really harmless?
41117Jimmy?"
41117Know how to bound the states?
41117Letter?
41117Look at my hands, will you?"
41117Lookin''for somethin''to put your money on?
41117Martha, why did n''t you look?
41117Masculine, feminine, or neuter?"
41117May Dorothy Chester take your horse and wagon and drive me there?"
41117May I call my darling calf Jewel?
41117May I come and peel the potatoes for you?"
41117Mr. Spence wheeled about and demanded in surprise:"What?
41117Mrs. Calvert, have-- have you forgiven poor Jim for letting the dogs get away?
41117Must I say second- hand or first- class?
41117Must you work in the garden all the time?
41117My paper, please?
41117Never more than now when I wish you to tell me-- Did you rewrite that advertisement sent to the local newspaper yesterday?"
41117Nineteen?
41117No?
41117Not even for a chance to sail along over a lovely piece of water, dabbling your hand in it, and pulling out great, sweet- smelling flowers?
41117Now, do you believe?"
41117Now, how to begin?
41117Now, then, my Hannah, how do you find yourself?"
41117On a day like this?"
41117Or all three at one fell swoop?
41117Or beef?
41117Or enough water to keep it clean?
41117Or will you risk another advertisement, compounded by yourself?"
41117Please thank her for us and tell her that-- that-- Jim, would you like to change''bosses''and come to work for us at Skyrie?"
41117Say, Dorothy?
41117Say, Peter, did Seth Winters send you an''Brindle up here?"
41117See all the berries I''ve picked you?
41117See my arms?
41117See them?"
41117See this pretty little piebald mare?
41117See?
41117See?
41117Set your dog on me, would you?
41117Shall Dolly inquire?"
41117Shall I sit by the roadside and ask every man who passes by if he wants to hire himself out''on shares''?
41117Shall you have a chance to study some?
41117She improved the occasion by calling his attention to Jewel:"See my calf?
41117She''s a gossip, Betty is, and who so delightful to gossip with as an old man who''s known your whole life from A to izzard?
41117Sir, are you a-- Socialist?"
41117So you''ve come to the''Bee,''too, have you?
41117So, I reckon I''d best go see if there''s a good stall in that old barn to put-- Say, Dorothy?
41117Somebody dropped you, did n''t he?
41117Swearing, you mean?
41117That circus, too; shall you go to it, Jim?
41117That hoss?
41117That is-- have you got the money ready, to pay right now?"
41117That there dog''ll get away, an''then what''ll happen?"
41117That there sorrel?
41117That truck o''his''n?
41117That was a big letter that''hero''boy brought, was n''t it?
41117That''s natural, is n''t it?"
41117The latter safely reached Mr. Chester''s hands; but-- the Danes?
41117The whole of Skyrie farm is bounded-- Ever study jogaphy?
41117Thee may have heard that I like to acquire and hold land?"
41117Then he asked:"What of Jim Barlow?
41117Then thinking that this trio of Babcocks might have come upon an errand to Mrs. Chester, she inquired:"Did you want to see my mother?"
41117Thirteen do I hear?
41117Thirteen?
41117This very last night that ever was; and talk about liking this ride?
41117Twenty?
41117Wagons, people, such a crowd-- tell me, John Chester,_ have you advertised again_?
41117Was ever a Quaker really poor?
41117Was he not still a man, with a clear head and infinite patience?
41117Was he not, also, one of the family?
41117Was it a''he''or a lady''haunt''?
41117Was n''t it too bad?
41117Was she not fourteen and, on state occasions, promoted to the dignity of having her abundant hair"done up"by her mother''s own hairdresser?
41117We mean to explore that mine they call the''Folly,''and who knows?
41117Well, am I to come to your picnic, or am I not, Miss Dorothy Chester?"
41117Well, what?"
41117What ails you, Dorothy?"
41117What am I expected to provide as my share of the entertainment?"
41117What are you laughing at?"
41117What became of the cats?
41117What could Mrs. Cecil do?
41117What do you mean?"
41117What do you think of that?"
41117What does thee say?"
41117What if his feet had failed him?
41117What makes you so rough with them?
41117What say, neighbors Chester?
41117What shall we do about the Danes, Jim Barlow?"
41117What shall you name your dear little pig?
41117What sort of a''haunt''is it?
41117What time more fitting to take a temporary leave of our dear Dorothy?
41117What was it?"
41117What will yours be?"
41117What you goin''to name the critter, anyway?"
41117What''s to hinder our doing it right now?
41117What?"
41117Whatever does that mean?"
41117When do you get licked, yourself, Dorothy C.?"
41117When''s your birthday?"
41117When?
41117Where do you suppose he is?"
41117Where is she?"
41117Where''s your dishpan at, Mis''Chester?
41117Where, too, was Peter, the simple?
41117Where?
41117Which critter''ll you drive home, Dorothy?
41117Which one did you say?"
41117Who told you about me?"
41117Who told you to?"
41117Who was to give it?
41117Why are you turning the runabout around to go back the way we came?
41117Why did n''t I know enough to do that myself?
41117Why did n''t you?
41117Why do you suppose he did n''t come?
41117Why hurry so?
41117Why not drive there first and let Miss Helena rest awhile before going further?"
41117Why should I?
41117Why should he come by that road when he was due from another?
41117Will you come?"
41117Will you direct us to it?"
41117Will you go?"
41117Will you secure your greatly needed''hired man''and forever''lay the ghost''of Skyrie at one''fell swoop''?"
41117Will you, if you get a chance?"
41117Will you?
41117Will you?"
41117Would n''t that be fine?
41117You can lead Ponce-- but why did you bring them?
41117You can milk, of course?"
41117You do n''t want to have me cruel, do you, Jim Barlow?"
41117You fetched yours in a basket, did n''t you?
41117You like flowers?
41117You would n''t?
41117You''ll recognize it when it does, and what shall I bring?
41117You''re walking, I suppose?
41117_ And_ eight dollars?
41117_ May_ we begin?"
41117_ Must_ we have a pig, father John?"
41117_ you_ here, Winters?
41117and me too?
41117and shoes, too?"
41117and this man,"Archibald Montaigne,"what did she know about such a person or any dogs which might have run into him?
41117and where could it be most safely kept?
41117and why was he not long ago transplanting those celery seedlings which she had directed him should be his first day''s labor?
41117how can you joke?
41117it''s a dear old world, is n''t it?
41117of course; but do you really think I should n''t fear this one at all?
41117only seven for such a beautiful Jewel and Daisy combined?"
41117or dear little gentle chickens?"
41117or let folks do it theirselves, like Mis''Judge Satterlee does?
41117those rough planks covered with white linen?
41117though, there_ are_ cows to the right of them, pigs underneath them, and horses-- did anybody ever see such a collection?"
41117was that what she meant when she said a calf might turn into a colt?
41117what can it mean?
41117who''ll pay just thirteen unlucky dollars when they can buy a full- blooded bull calf for-- Fourteen, do I hear?
41117would n''t keep visitin''ladies standing, would you?"
41117you love to tease me, do n''t you?
40300''Girl''? 40300 Are you afraid of her?
40300Bless yo''heart, Miss Betty, did you- all done ring dat bell? 40300 But--_what_?
40300Ca n''t you sit down by me for company? 40300 Can it be morning already?
40300Dat so, Miss Betty? 40300 Do n''t you?
40300Do you mean, John, that you are losing the use of your feet? 40300 Does your foot hurt bad?"
40300Girl, what''s your name?
40300Half- way? 40300 Hard on her?
40300Have you had your breakfast, too, Jim?
40300Hey? 40300 Hey?
40300Hey? 40300 His adopted daughter, Dorothy C. Have n''t you seen about her in the paper?"
40300How long has Dorothy known this?
40300How- d''ye- do, Mrs. Cecil? 40300 Hungry, Mabel Bruce?
40300Indeed? 40300 Indeed?
40300Johnnie, what was that I saw in your wife''s arms, as I drove by?
40300Lawd, honey, Miss Betty, who- all''s sick?
40300Leave you alone? 40300 My name, you mean?
40300No news?
40300No, sir, I did n''t, but there has to be a first time, a first one, to everything, does n''t there? 40300 Say, Jim, do you like me?
40300Servant? 40300 Shall you be fool enough to take the youngster in, if nobody calls for it?
40300So, so? 40300 Spigots?
40300That man--_Smith_? 40300 Too much?
40300Tu''n yet, Miss Betty? 40300 W- wh-- at?"
40300Was that the day Mr. Chester was taken to the hospital? 40300 Well, what is it?"
40300What I mean is-- can you walk, hoof it, good? 40300 What became of the little boy?"
40300What''s the matter, I say?
40300What''s your name?
40300What-- who-- Where''s Johnnie?
40300Where shall I put them? 40300 Where to?
40300Where''s your celery at?
40300Who is''he''? 40300 Who''s''him''?
40300Why do n''t they go away? 40300 Why do n''t you leave her now?"
40300Why do you do that, Jim?
40300Why go so far, away from everybody we know and care for? 40300 Why, Tige, what''s that?"
40300Why-- why-- what''s the matter with me? 40300 Will you help me get away from here, back to my home?
40300Will-- we never--_never_ get there?
40300Will_ you_ tell him or must_ I_? 40300 You leave to- morrow?
40300You- all know how old yo''be, Miss Betty?
40300You-- can? 40300 You-- you a big, grown- up woman, have to''obey''?
40300Your father? 40300 ''D you say Eutaw Place, er Moun''Ver''n Avenoo?
40300A fine digestion is another of my Father''s good gifts to me; and do you know, laddie, that I rarely have to buy the food to feed my guests?
40300Again lying back upon her pillow, she smiled into the nurse''s face and asked:"What am I doing here, in a bed?
40300Again the stranger demanded:"Who is that girl?
40300Ai n''t you- all done bettah wait a little spell, an''''tend to him, yo''se''f?
40300Allow me?"
40300Already?
40300Already?
40300An''I come, ai n''t I?
40300And had she forgotten that they had no money except his salary?
40300And he retorted with equal spirit:"D''you s''pose I''d haul such a heavy creatur''''s you so fur on a wrong road?"
40300And how is my little girl?
40300And mother Martha have to give up her pretty house she loves so, and go away off to the country where she does n''t know anybody?
40300And see?
40300And that''s what mother means by paying for a quart and not getting a quart, is n''t it?
40300And what is to become of this dear home?"
40300And why on earth should I feel so sorry now for that woman in there?
40300Are n''t you going to take him any of that nice ham?
40300Are you hungry?
40300Are you sure a message was sent to that man how I was waiting?"
40300Are you sure, sure, Mr. Smith, that I am really an heiress and you will help me to get the money that belongs to me?"
40300As she gazed in one direction for the sight of a blue gingham frock a cheerful voice called to her from another:"Howdy, Mis''Chester?
40300At it again, giving the steps a more tombstone effect?
40300Be you a good, free traveler?"
40300But a girl ca n''t eat once and make it last all day, can she?"
40300But dat yere plumber gempleman-- what erbout leabin''him, to go rummagin''''round, puttin''new fixin''s in whe''ol''ones do?
40300But does yo''know, Miss Betty, erbout a man was sunstroke yestiddy, Baltimo''Street way?
40300But her laugh was a nervous one and was instantly followed by the inquiry:"What-- what happened to the child?"
40300But what for you- all done want Ephraim fotch de kerridge?
40300But what, Miss Chester, put this notion into your head?
40300But, my man?
40300But-- why?
40300But----""How long have you known about it?"
40300By the way, is n''t it a case of poetic justice, that he should be thus innocently punished by the child he stole?"
40300By the way, where''s Dorothy?
40300CHAPTER VII AN OFFICE SEEKER AND A CLIENT"Well, little girl, what are you doing here?"
40300CHAPTER XV THE FLIGHT IN THE NIGHT"What does it mean?
40300Ca n''t I stir off these grounds unless somebody is ill?
40300Can one of your''boys''wait on me and hand me my tools?
40300Can we start now-- when she''s shut the door?"
40300Can you remember to have had a blow, or a fall, lately?"
40300Cayn''t yo''business be put off, Miss Betty?"
40300Could one city be so big as this?
40300Could you-- could you possibly spare time to help me?"
40300Decently?
40300Did ever brick pavements hurt anybody else as they were hurting her?
40300Did father like his roses?"
40300Did he fall?
40300Did he hurt himself when he fell?
40300Did n''t Ah done go promise yo''dyin''ma how''t Ah''t take ca''of you- all what''d nevah no sense to take ca''yo''self?

40300Did n''t you have your breakfast?"
40300Did n''t you hear me ring?"
40300Did white shoes always act that way?
40300Did you ever hear of a little girl postman?"
40300Did you go?
40300Do n''t suppose she''s one to run away an''play with some the school children, do you?"
40300Do n''t you know I''ve to go to market and you have the lunch to get?
40300Do n''t you know me?
40300Do n''t you remember?
40300Do you know, Jim Barlow, that it seems longer than all the days put together since I saw my mother?"
40300Do you know, already?"
40300Do you know, does he know, that between you the law is broken?
40300Do you mean''her''to be that dreadful woman?"
40300Do you suppose we have come half- way yet?"
40300Do you want both these spigots to have new washers on?
40300Does he live here?
40300Does n''t matter though, does it?
40300Does nobody ever speak out loud?"
40300Does she go every market day?
40300Dorothy, have you come?"
40300Drive on Sunday?
40300Finally she asked:"Where is this house?
40300Finished your beat already?
40300For such a neighborly turn?
40300For, even if there was hope that the postman might sometime recover, was he not still helpless in a hospital?
40300From Union Station?
40300God sent you, did n''t He?"
40300Has''she''gone to market?
40300Have some more ham, Mabel?"
40300Have we come to it so soon and I not knowing?
40300Have you learned anything?"
40300Have you learned your lesson?
40300Have you lost, or missed, him, dear?"
40300He ai n''t got all his buttons----""Wh- a- t?"
40300He hated to disappoint her, just yet, so asked with interest:"And who is Miss Georgia?"
40300He here?
40300He stood still, panting for breath, and Dorothy lifted her face which she had hidden on his shoulder and-- what was that the child was calling?
40300He went to her and asked:"Feeling bad, Ma''am?
40300He would do right, he must; but-- which was"the rightest right of them two"?
40300Hear me?"
40300Hear,''Mandy?
40300Heiress?
40300Hey, Miss Betty?"
40300Hey?"
40300His own beloved Mabel, ill at that moment with the measles, then epidemic-- what would life be worth without her?
40300Horspittle?
40300How could anybody hurt a girl who was worth five hundred dollars to somebody?
40300How could you?"
40300How dare he send you?
40300How dare you-- anybody-- keep such dangerous creatures?
40300How did this poor little darling ever hurt her tiny foot like that?"
40300How else''d you go around?
40300How far from Baltimore?"
40300How is he doing?
40300How long has she been gone?"
40300How many dem wills has she had writ, a''ready, Dinah?"
40300How many more blocks must she traverse before she came in sight of that wide Broadway with its pretty parks, on which the hospital stood?
40300How, after all, could she enter and learn some dreadful truth?
40300I beg your pardon, and-- May I have my father''s position?"
40300I did n''t eat no noonin'', recollec''?"
40300I must go to see John, this afternoon, too, and----""Martha Chester, have you had a bite to eat?"
40300I wonder which way I must go?
40300I''ll love to picnic out here, but how does it happen?
40300I''ve always longed for pretty things, but-- call_ them_ pretty?
40300I-- Can''t you hide me here, somewhere, and go on by yourself, then send somebody back after me?
40300If they were going to walk, or run, as his talk about trying on rags suggested, how could they travel?
40300In the cottage yonder?
40300Is n''t she a funny old woman?
40300Is n''t that what the Johns Hopkins doctors call the''country''?"
40300Is she deaf and dumb-- or just a plain everyday fool?"
40300Is that long boy your son?
40300Is that woman going to market and not taking me, after all I begged her so?"
40300Is this the hospital?"
40300Is yo''feelin''po''ly again, honey?"
40300Is-- is she sick?
40300It is so good to be out of doors, and-- are you going to take me home, to- night, when you drive in?"
40300It was n''t so much-- to some people-- but ten dollars?
40300It''s perfectly horrible just to hear it, and what must it be to suffer it?
40300John Chester''s little girl?
40300Know wha''dem horspittles is for?
40300Mabel was here yesterday, was n''t she?"
40300May I ask you something?"
40300May I get just what I like?"
40300May I go talk to him?
40300May I?
40300May he show me the way home to Baltimore?"
40300May n''t I see him just a minute, just one little minute,''fore this-- this queer sleepiness gets me?"
40300Me?
40300Mebbe-- Does dey put erbout makin''wills in de papahs, boy?"
40300My sake, girls are orful silly, ai n''t they?"
40300Nobody could n''t do more than that, could they?"
40300Not so the detective, who quietly asked:"Who is this Mabel, and where can she be found?"
40300Now ai n''t I brought you the greatest luck?
40300Now, will you go to sleep?"
40300One mile-- did I say a half?
40300Or did dat Methusalem done it, fo''mischievousness?"
40300Or of that glad reunion with these old friends and neighbors, when Dorothy was once more in their arms, who could fitly tell?
40300Or turn her over to the police to care for, Martha dear?"
40300Pay?
40300Queer, is n''t it?
40300Really, as you said?"
40300Say, Jim, were you afraid you''d''catch''the measles?
40300See, see?
40300See?"
40300Send her to an Orphanage, ourselves?
40300Servant, do you mean?"
40300Shall I call somebody?"
40300Shall I help you to sit up?"
40300She put her white hand to her head in a confused way and returned:"Bad?
40300She stopped Jim as he was moving away and demanded:"Are you ready?
40300She stopped short and addressed the misbehaving members in her sternest tones:"What''s the matter with you to make you hurt so?
40300She was fast drowsing off again, but roused for an instant to ask:"Have you seen my father?
40300Since when have we got so top- lofty?"
40300So what''s the use of writing?
40300Spigots?"
40300Suppose the stuff kills him?
40300Tell-- talk-- why ca n''t you?
40300That man in the wheeled chair, risking his neck to hasten your meeting?
40300The little stone cottage on a rock, half- hidden in vines, empty for years, and now-- Who is that upon its threshold?
40300The more I work the longer I may work, eh?
40300The sight of him amused the plumber and called forth from his mistress the question:"Did anybody ever see such a woe- begone infant?
40300The usual shutting- off, Ma''am?"
40300The very next time you go to market?
40300Then she at once stood up, said something to Jim, and hurried to the house: demanding, as she reached it and with evident alarm:"What''s the matter?"
40300Then she turned away, but Dorothy reached forward, caught the blue denim skirt, and demanded:"Tell me where my mother is?
40300Then some evil thing tempted her to ask:"Do you know where you''re going, Jim Barlow, anyway?"
40300Then there''s that class picnic of yours, and what on earth will Miss Georgia say if you do n''t go this time?
40300Then we came to the door and saw you were both outdoors, so there could n''t have been, could there?
40300Then, as if forcing herself to an interest in small, home matters, she asked:"Were you very lonely after she went?"
40300Think you''ll know us when you see us agin?"
40300This woman did shrink, yet how could it be from fear of infection to herself?
40300Time to get up, already?"
40300To Lexington, or Hollins, or Richmond-- which?
40300Try?"
40300Was it just to learn how to plant things?
40300Was n''t Mabel''s visit a pleasant one?
40300Was n''t this a chance to steal away and start for home?
40300Was there a reproof in this?
40300Well, how''s the girl?
40300Wha''for?"
40300What are they, pray, to make you look so serious?"
40300What are you idling like that for?
40300What childless, child- loving man could help doing so, beholding the pretty sight before him?
40300What did happen to him, anyway?
40300What did he say?"
40300What do you mean, then, by''girl''?"
40300What has happened?
40300What in the world will a postman do without his sound feet and as sound a pair of legs above them?"
40300What is about the milk?"
40300What makes some of the women dress all in white and some in blue?
40300What of it?"
40300What possesses you to be always under foot?
40300What salary do you get?"
40300What say, sister, to that notion?"
40300What shall we do about her?
40300What would anybody want to nail an inside window tight for?
40300What you mean?"
40300What you say?"
40300What you want to see him for?"
40300What''s her name?"
40300What''s that?
40300What''s to be done?
40300What''s wantin'', Miss Betty?
40300What''s yo''''pinion now, Ephraim, boy?"
40300What''s yourn?"
40300What- all be dey like?"
40300What?
40300Wheah yo''live at?
40300When we live in the country may I have all the flowers I want?"
40300Where am I?
40300Where are you, dearest father?"
40300Where did you get her?
40300Where is my mother?"
40300Where we are going and when?
40300Where''d you two come from?"
40300Where''s Dorothy C.?"
40300Where''s your cleanin''things, Mis''Chester?"
40300Where?
40300Who could it be?
40300Who is that little girl?"
40300Who that dainty little woman flying down the path to clasp you in her arms?
40300Who told you?
40300Who''s going to live here?
40300Who''s''him''?
40300Who-- who-- can have sent her?"
40300Whose is it?"
40300Why should I come here to this old truck- farm and a horrid woman and a horrider man and get the measles and give them to him?
40300Why should she bother with anybody in such a different state of life?
40300Why should she imagine it?
40300Why, Dinah?"
40300Why, my dear young lady, how am I ever to do you any good if you mistrust me so on such slight grounds?"
40300Why, since when have you taken to wearing slippers so much too big for you?
40300Why, too, should my father John be let to get an''ataxious''something in his legs, so he had to lose his place?
40300Why- all cayn''t yo''eat yo''breakfast in de house, propah, like a Christian, Miss Betty?"
40300Why?
40300Why?"
40300Will he be there long?
40300Will it never, never end?
40300Will she need it, do you think?"
40300Will that do?"
40300With a little exclamation of distress, she put her hand on the painful spot, and the attendant quickly asked:"Does that hurt you?
40300With a little waning of hope-- the postmaster had been so delightful that she was already sure he would grant her request-- she asked:"Is it bad?
40300Wo n''t you answer?"
40300Would it be safe, do you think?"
40300Would n''t it do just to go to some little spot right near Baltimore, where we could come into the city on the cars, at any time?
40300Would n''t that be just lovely?
40300Yet, once in the carriage, with his useless legs stretched out before him, he suddenly demanded:"Why, where''s my girl?
40300You ca n''t?
40300You never have burglars in this out- of- the- way place, do you?
40300You there, too, John?
40300You wo n''t?
40300You''ll let me go home to her, wo n''t you?
40300Younkers, where''d you hail from?
40300Your father''s home Sundays, too, is n''t he?"
40300_ Why?_ An orphan foundling like me-- what should anybody steal me away from my home for?
40300_ Why?_ An orphan foundling like me-- what should anybody steal me away from my home for?
40300and Tiger''s growl made a trio of sounds in the silent house: to which he promptly added his question:"Huh?
40300and why should a pretty little girl be crying on the first Sunday morning in June?
40300and with a crispness that might easily hurt his business, he demanded:"Do you think a hundred dollars too much to pay for the life of a child?"
40300and, Jim, what makes you so sober?
40300please, where_ is_ my father?"
40300there followed the fumbling of somebody with the door''s button, she sprang to her feet and asked:"That you, Jim?
40300what will my mother think of my staying away like this?
40300where are you?
40300why should n''t I want to earn the money for my parents?
40300you awake?"
28805''If Rider Haggard had been Lew Wallace, what would''She''have been?''
28805A man? 28805 All ready, all?"
28805An''waste Mrs. Calvert''s good money, whilst there''s a lot of idlers on her premises, eatin''her out of house and home? 28805 And leave the house wide open this way?"
28805Are you going back there?
28805Are you sorry you started the affair, Dolly Doodles? 28805 Are you sure she is n''t in her room?"
28805But how can we? 28805 But how could her heart, the heart of any woman, remain hard against the sight of her orphan grandchildren?"
28805But if those children are his grandchildren, what are they doing here?
28805But the wool? 28805 But to miss the Fair?
28805But where will you get chicken to fry?
28805But who did solve the silly thing, first off?
28805Can Alfy drive-- safe?
28805Could Luna have stolen it, that foolish one?
28805Cuanto? 28805 Dear Aunt Betty, will you do this for a man you do not like?"
28805Dear Mr. Seth, you love my darling Aunt Betty, too, do n''t you, like everybody does?
28805Did ever you see eyes so bright? 28805 Did he know Rose?"
28805Did n''t she ride home with_ you_?
28805Did n''t you?
28805Did you get it back, lad?
28805Do n''t you change it no more, then, Dorothy C.?
28805Do n''t you know how much curiosity I have? 28805 Do you know the owner?"
28805Do you mean it, Dorothy C.?
28805Do you not? 28805 Do you suppose it blew out of the window and she picked it up?"
28805Does he know? 28805 Dolly, shall you go to The Towers, to see that Montaigne girl?"
28805Ever hear the story of General Lafayette and this creek, Melvin?
28805Go? 28805 Have n''t I?
28805Helena and Melvin? 28805 Helena home?
28805How can it come right? 28805 How could you?"
28805How do you know, Dorothy?
28805How many did you use?
28805How many girls now, Alfy?
28805How?
28805I wonder what it was he told him?
28805I? 28805 Indeed?
28805Is it something Dorothy may hear?
28805Is n''t that Mr. Shelton''s horse?
28805It was n''t your flesh, was it?
28805It''s real purty in here, ai n''t it? 28805 Killing generally does mean death, Jim Barlow, but if you knew that splendid tree was bound to fall some day why did n''t you say so?
28805Leah-- that''s Luna? 28805 Miss Greatorex?
28805Next?
28805Now which shall I fit first?
28805Say, sonny, what made you tumble in the brook? 28805 So the farrier has been talking, eh?
28805So you asked him for a lift down?
28805That bunch? 28805 That man?
28805Then you come from Rosado?
28805They''ve found their own place you see; will it do?
28805This morning, Aunt Betty, in all this rain? 28805 Tramps?
28805Well, why do n''t you get a regular woodman to chop it up, then?
28805Were n''t you scared? 28805 What all shall we cook?
28805What are those men doing to the roof?
28805What in the world do you want of a rope?
28805What is it men and women all despise, Yet one and all so highly prize? 28805 What makes thee think he is unhappy?"
28805What should I be afraid of? 28805 What''s up, boys?"
28805What''s yours, twinsy? 28805 What''they,''Miss Molly?"
28805What? 28805 Where do you come from?"
28805Where''d they pick up two such little owls? 28805 Which one?
28805Who is Luna? 28805 Who left that gate open?
28805Who''s for church?
28805Who''s she? 28805 Whose''Party''is this?"
28805Why do you fancy anything''s amiss, lassie?
28805Why do you leave yours, to sleep on the library couch, Ephraim?
28805Why do you stop just there, Jim, in the most interesting part? 28805 Why not?
28805Why, Aunt Betty, please? 28805 Why, Mr. Seth, what do you mean?
28805Why, would anybody be afraid in a big tent like this?
28805Why? 28805 With what, Dolly dear?
28805With whom did you ride?
28805Wo n''t the horses be afraid? 28805 Your horse?"
28805''Now, who''ll take that to the mill?''
28805''Twill be over in a minute, soon''s we get to the inside and have-- you-- got-- your ticket?"
28805A blessing, Dorcas said?
28805A child yourself?"
28805Afterward, we might have a little dance in the barn-- May we, may we?"
28805Ai n''t they beautiful?
28805Ai n''t you ashamed of yourself, Alfy Babcock?
28805And apropos of that subject: What''s the oldest, most unalterable book of etiquette we have?"
28805And how came you with Oliver Sands?
28805And if you do, what shall I say to them for you?"
28805And there, Luna dear, poor Luna, you see we''re off at last and-- isn''t it just lovely?"
28805And when the neighbors ask:''Whose children has thee found?''
28805And why?
28805And-- is Leah here?"
28805Anybody could spend a night here and take no hurt, could n''t she?"
28805Anybody got a ribbon?
28805Anybody got a rope?"
28805Are n''t you the one who always plans the entertainments-- the social ones-- at your school, Brentnor Hall?
28805Are n''t you?"
28805Are tramps on this mountain?
28805Are we never to hear the end of Oliver Sands?
28805Are you down in the dumps, too?
28805Are you in trouble?
28805Are you really goin''to take that loony Luna to meeting?"
28805As for you, Cousin Seth, what has so wearied you?
28805At that''heavenly''place?
28805Baby, which are you?"
28805Baby, which are_ you_?"
28805Beg pardon, girlie, I do n''t want to be cross, but how can I have a decent party if you do n''t help?
28805Besides, her quick ear had caught that"Luna,"and she now impatiently demanded:"Howcome you''knows he''name, Miss Do''thy, an''nebah tole ole Dinah?"
28805But the ten crisp notes she had so spread out in the sight of all-- where were they?
28805But there was one more objector and that outspoken Alfy, who begged of Dorothy, in a sibilant whisper:"Do you mean it?
28805But they had scarcely cleared the grounds when Molly Martin paused to ask:"Where''s Jane Potter?"
28805But, alanna, what''d this big house be widout''em and their pranks?"
28805But, why hesitate?
28805But-- is there a little old woman here, no bigger than a child?
28805By the way, where are they now?"
28805Ca n''t help it, do n''t you know?"
28805Can I have that?
28805Can I help you?"
28805Can I help?"
28805Can thee afford to waste time like this?"
28805Can you?"
28805Cried she, with that characteristic toss of her brown curls:"Well, if everybody_ must_--what can I do to help?
28805Did anybody ever happen to hear of the Sphinx?"
28805Did n''t you feel as if some enemy were after you?"
28805Did you ever see the beat?
28805Did you have any supper?"
28805Did you think I might be dead, then?
28805Do n''t you know this is Sunday?"
28805Do n''t you like the arrangement?"
28805Do n''t you remember how ill they were from Molly''s supply?
28805Do n''t you remember?
28805Do n''t you think they''re lovely, Littlejohn?"
28805Do you know how she makes jelly?"
28805Do you want to keep me awake all night?"
28805Does n''t it seem too bad to leave her out of this?"
28805Does that mean you want to do so now?"
28805Dolly squeezed herself after and stooped above her guest, anxiously asking:"Did that hurt you?
28805Fact, I''d_ admire_, only if I put on my best dress to go callin''in the morning what''ll I have left to wear to the Party?
28805Finally, a stable lad had suddenly propounded the inquiry:"What did you do with that money, anyway, Ephy?
28805Finally, as he lapsed into a reverie she roused him, saying:"What is your errand, please?"
28805Fo''de lan'', Missy, whe''-all''s yo''pride an''mannehs?"
28805Has n''t he come, too?"
28805Has she told you how the twins came here?"
28805Have n''t you seen?
28805Have you done that, then?
28805Have you settled on the play?
28805He was as anxious now to release her as she was to be set free, but his tormentors insisted:"Her name?
28805He was not a superstitious man but he had dreamed of Deerhurst more than once of late and news from Deerhurst?
28805Hear what the Master said?
28805Here, boy, fetch them peanuts this way?
28805Hey, honey?
28805How about you, Littlejohn Smith?"
28805How came she here?
28805How can she do a thing like that?"
28805How can we ever take them in that stage with us?"
28805How come dat yeah-- dis-- What''s hit mean, li''l gal Do''thy?"
28805How could it be like that, then?"
28805How could we do otherwise?
28805How dare you say such a thing?"
28805How ever in this world?
28805How it was mighty easy to start a panic but impossible to stop one, or nigh so?
28805How much do telegrams cost?"
28805How much for him?"
28805How shall eight people be conveyed to that far- away church?"
28805How should I?
28805Hungry, say you?
28805I love young people; and am I not quite a young person myself?"
28805I meant to stay a bit longer out of business, but-- Mrs. Calvert, when''s the next train cityward, please?"
28805I saw no other person anywhere about, did you?"
28805I wonder if we ought to advertise her in the local newspaper?
28805I wonder what?"
28805If I should bring her back to it, would you let her go out of it sometimes, into the world where she belongs?
28805If I would bring her back?"
28805If he were human where could he go?
28805In other words:"Did she send the money?"
28805Indeed, when there came a knock on the outer door he started, and quickly demanded:"Well?"
28805Inviting them south- siders that made such a lot of trouble when you lived''up- mounting''afore your folks leased their farm?"
28805Is n''t it lovely to be a rich girl and just ask for as much money as you want and get it?
28805Is she here?
28805Is she lost again?"
28805Is she safe?"
28805Is telephoning cheaper?
28805It''s better for them and we should n''t have been let anyway, and-- where''s Helena?"
28805It''s getting real near breakfast time; and dear Aunt Betty, will you please send me another one hundred dollars by the return of the mail?
28805James was listening now and inquired:"What you raking up old times for, Dorothy?
28805Jolly Molly, and Jim to drive?
28805Just as this was Dorothy''s and somebody else managed it; eh, lassie?
28805May I keep them here?
28805May I, please?"
28805Meanwhile, what had this rainy day seen at Heartsease Farm?
28805Molly M. How''d you look, rockin''along on that old mare?
28805Monty is in a fix-- how shall we get him out?"
28805Monty, will you ride to the village and send that telegram to Mabel Bruce?"
28805Most of you know it by sight; eh?"
28805Mouths so wide agape?
28805Mrs. Calvert looked keenly into her darling''s eyes, and after a moment, answered:"I might be willing; but should you desert your guests?
28805Next?"
28805Next?"
28805Nobody, of course, except Alfaretta, and the first thing that girl would be sure to ask would be:"Have you caught your hare?"
28805Now, who''ll accept?
28805Now-- see the pretty horses?"
28805Oliver, does thee hear?
28805Oliver,_ did thee know Rose?_"This was the"plain speech"with a vengeance!
28805On yo''way dar, sah?"
28805Or a little play in the big barn?"
28805Or, do you think it would be kinder to wait and let her people hunt her up?
28805Or-- was it Ananias?
28805Ought you?
28805Partings?
28805Preferred to chop wood, did he?
28805Problem: If a small school dictionary can work such havoc with a young maid''s brain will the Unabridged drive her to a lunatic asylum?
28805Remember how she clung to those bits of gay rags Dinah found on her?
28805Satisfactory all round?"
28805Saturday would be a nice time to begin the Party, do n''t you all think?"
28805See Sapphi-- Ruth, see them stairs?
28805See?
28805See?
28805Sensible, but not too- sensitive, Alfaretta shook her head, and asked:"Do you know how to make a hare pie?"
28805Shall I tell it?"
28805She does n''t look like either-- is she sleep- walking?
28805Six boys-- how many yet Alfy?"
28805Snoring?
28805So gently Dolly moved that he did not hear her, and she had gone around him to stand before his face ere he looked up and said:"Thee?
28805So, as she bade him good- night she asked:"Is it anything I can help, dear Master?"
28805Somebody breathing?
28805Supposing somebody had stolen in and stolen them?
28805Supposing that was why he was sleeping in the library?
28805Tell me, quick, quick; and if you know her home?"
28805That fellow?
28805That is n''t dividing even; and if it''s such an awful long way had n''t we-- shouldn''t-- shan''t we be terrible late to dinner?"
28805That plain old white linen?
28805That''s what society is for, is what it means, is n''t it?
28805The scene at Heartsease?
28805Thee is the little girl that''s had such a story- paper kind of life, is n''t thee?
28805Then I asked:''How much will you pay, Friend Oliver, toward the support of Hiram Bowen at St. Michael''s Hospital?''
28805Then he scratched his head and asked in a whisper:"Can you tell who she looks like?
28805Then, course, you would n''t leave them just anywhere, out of doors, would you?
28805Thence it was presently lifted, when Mrs. Calvert said:"Now the lost is found, I''d like to inquire what shall be done with it?
28805There was a swift exchange of glances between him and the young hostess as she returned:"Shall I say?"
28805This is exceedingly painful to hear, but to what does it tend?"
28805Those grapes knew that you wanted them, that I wanted to get them for you, and see how they act?
28805To see me?
28805Until Mabel Bruce suddenly demanded:"Where''s their other clothes?"
28805Well, Dorothy, what is it?
28805Well, Mabel?
28805Well, my dear?"
28805Were n''t they horrid?
28805What can that mean?
28805What connection had this beauty with riddles, if you please?"
28805What could have become of them?
28805What do you know about her?"
28805What does she want?"
28805What has that poor, learned dear to do with it?"
28805What have you horrid boys been doing out there in the barn so early, waking tired little girls out of their beauty- sleep?"
28805What is it?
28805What is it?
28805What might not be done with a whole one hundred dollars?
28805What next?"
28805What say?"
28805What shall it be?
28805What was that sound?
28805What will Mr. Winters say?
28805What will you do?"
28805What yo''s''posin''my Miss Betty gwine ter say when she heahs ob dis yeah cuttin''s up?
28805What you goin''to make, yourself, Dorothy Calvert?"
28805What''s the use of spoiling a splendid time?
28805What''s your name, little boy?
28805What-- what-- shall I do?
28805What?
28805Whatever is the matter?
28805Where did you get all that, Dorothy Calvert?"
28805Where is he?"
28805Where is that Seth Winters?"
28805Which kings possess not?
28805Which one have you caught?"
28805Which?
28805Who betters me?"
28805Who ever heard tell of a stove in a barn?"
28805Who had taken them?
28805Who is for that?"
28805Who is he?"
28805Who knows but that was the key to unlock her closed intelligence?
28805Who wants to, anyway?
28805Who''s your next boy?"
28805Who, what can it mean?"
28805Why all that?"
28805Why do you stand like that, pointing out into the night as if you''d seen a ghost?"
28805Why, Dolly darling, you-- what''s wrong, honey?
28805Why, child, do you know whose money that was?"
28805Why?
28805Will you assign the characters and let us get to studying, so we can make a success of it to- night?"
28805Will you forgive and wait?"
28805With such a-- a good man; is n''t he?"
28805Wo n''t you get that bronchitis again?
28805Would n''t we better wait till morning?"
28805Would the man never tell his errand?
28805Would you let her come to visit me?
28805Would you put your pride aside and-- do right?
28805Would you take her to meeting with you as is her birthright?
28805Yet, if there had been thievery there, would n''t he have kept awake, to watch?
28805You awake at last?
28805You seem so anxious to speak?"
28805You?
28805_ Dorothy''s House Party._] CHAPTER XI MORNING TALKS"Did anybody ever know such a succession of beautiful days?"
28805_ I!_ On my way to a circus?
28805and not Aunt Betty?
28805and say, Dolly, which of all them pretty dresses are you goin''to put on?
28805has anybody told him that I suspected him?"
28805her name?
28805is thee possessed?"
28805must we?
28805thee?"
28805will he take the twins away?"
28805with all you young folks in it?
32310''He?'' 32310 ''Heap coals?''"
32310Afraid? 32310 Am I?"
32310And after that? 32310 Are you, dearest?
32310Ate spoiled fish out of a garbage can, did he? 32310 Begging for what, Win?"
32310But how Baal, and why? 32310 Could n''t you talk without stopping?
32310Did you send for me, dear Bishop?
32310Dorothy, will you please ring for a maid to look after Grace? 32310 Forgive you?
32310Go away? 32310 Got any money, Dorothy?"
32310Half- starved, sir? 32310 Has you got any nuts in your pockets?
32310Have you been''inquisitioned''yet?
32310I ca n''t work and talk, too; please be still, ca n''t you?
32310I do n''t know how long I shall be, and why care about nuts while we can have-- this?
32310Is it so far? 32310 It means-- is your father an Earl?
32310Jack, are you in the habit of keeping that animal here, in this room?
32310Likely somebody''s late and she''s waiting to say:''Miss''--whoever it is--''your excuse, please?'' 32310 Lost?
32310Lost? 32310 Lovely, but is n''t it terribly clumsy?"
32310Lovely? 32310 Not belonging?
32310Robin, are you willing to work rather hard, in a good home, for your mother and to provide one for her, too?
32310Robin, would n''t you be afraid?
32310Said you''d got to go, did she? 32310 Seemed to be an old acquaintance of the farmer''s, did n''t it?
32310Shall we try it again, Win? 32310 So this is my old friend Betty Calvert''s child, is it?
32310Speaking of Robins, suppose we write her a round- robin letter? 32310 Staying with Grace?
32310Sure we can be back in time, Robin?
32310There, girlie, what do you say to that? 32310 To this shanty?
32310Want the Metropole, Miss?
32310Was Queen Elizabeth fat?
32310Well, Win, you can be glad without squeezing the breath out of a body, ca n''t you? 32310 Well, dearie, I suppose I dare because Miss Tross- Kingdon--""Did she say you could?
32310Well, if he wanted her to, what harm, Gwen? 32310 Well, now, Dorothy, do n''t that beat all?
32310What Robin?
32310What do you mean, Winifred Christie? 32310 What does that matter, whether she were or not?
32310What in the world do you mean, Baby? 32310 What is it?
32310What is the explanation of this, Dorothy? 32310 What makes him so slippery?
32310What now? 32310 What things, dear?
32310What? 32310 Whatever is the matter with that girl?
32310Where can they go, how can they go, when can they go, Teacher?
32310Where you going, Dolly Doodles? 32310 Where''s your trunk?"
32310Who cares? 32310 Who owns him?
32310Who''m you? 32310 Who''re you going to slide with, Dolly?
32310Why ca n''t they? 32310 Why did I come to Oak Knowe alone?
32310Why did he throw out the barrels?
32310Why did n''t you come back? 32310 Why did you do it?
32310Why for ca n''t I speak, Dorothy? 32310 Why should I be afraid?
32310Why, Gwen, dearest, surely she did n''t make you nervous again, did she? 32310 Why, Mr. Gilpin, what''s the matter?
32310Why, are n''t you stupid, Dolly? 32310 Why, darling, what is this?
32310Why, sir, things ca n''t be done without folks do them, can they?
32310Why-- why-- darling-- can you_ speak_? 32310 Will I not?
32310Will ye? 32310 Win, you darling, what do you mean?"
32310Would you? 32310 Would you?
32310You do forgive, do n''t you, dear old John?
32310You fix it? 32310 You want me to''begin at the beginning''?
32310You''ll be quiet, Winifred, and keep out of mischief?
32310''Tisn''t winter all the year and who wears top- coats in summer?
32310''Where are you going, my pretty maid?
32310A real letter explainin''about the accident, when the lassie''s toboggan got in our way and we got that mixed''twas nigh the death of the lot?
32310A share of the Hallowe''en treat, is it, Dorothy?"
32310Afraid to go into my own house, that was, that my father built with his own hands?
32310After all my meanness to you, could you make yourself like me just a little?"
32310Am I invited?"
32310And Baal?
32310And a boy who in but a week''s time had learned to clean shoes so well and promptly?
32310And am I a bit better-- in myself-- because in reality I belonged to a rich old family, than I was when I washed dishes in Mother Martha''s kitchen?
32310And had Dorothy come suddenly upon his track?
32310And immediately the meal was over, Winifred hurried to the Lady Principal and asked:"Please, Miss Muriel, can you tell me, is Dorothy Calvert ill?"
32310And most of all how came he here in the house?"
32310And say, girlie, where''s that Jack, boot- boy?
32310And this Robin was a paragon, was n''t he?
32310And what you think?
32310And who invited it to the masquerade?
32310And why ai n''t you_ in_ bed,''stead of out of it?
32310And would n''t you rather carry nuts in your pockets for such nice little girls as me, than crawly things inside your smock to bite you?
32310And, Gwen, dear, have you finished your picture yet for the exhibition?"
32310And, please, Lady Jane, may I go now?
32310Anything wrong in the dormitory?"
32310Are n''t you grateful that somebody who could swim, even poor I, was at the pool to help you out of it that day?
32310Are those for me and so soon?
32310Are you hungry?"
32310Are you ill?"
32310Are you mischievous, too, I wonder?"
32310Are you sure you''re quite strong enough to come?"
32310Are you trying to''heap coals''on my head?"
32310Are you_ alive_?
32310As a sort of payment for Dorothy''s assistance at the Maiden''s Bath?
32310At the point where you knew you were to change trains, why did you not keep watch and inquire for direction?"
32310Baal, what say?
32310Back out?
32310But Dolly?
32310But I do n''t know which ones are; do you?"
32310But how came she to have it?
32310But is all your clothes in that satchel?"
32310But now, was the burglar real?
32310But people may travel once in a while, may n''t they?
32310But say, girl, you have n''t told me your name yet?"
32310But what matter?
32310But what sort of sled is this, man?
32310But where''s your jacket?
32310But would n''t you better wait another day?
32310But''he''d admire''to have just one before he died--""He had it, did n''t he?"
32310But, as she spoke, a hand was laid upon her shoulder and a rather gruff voice demanded:"Why, little stranger, what''s a- troublin''ye?"
32310But-- was there not?
32310But_ half did_ have sense and that is-- Who do you think gave me my beautiful toboggan things?"
32310Buttons it right around me-- this way-- so I never could slip out, could I?
32310Ca n''t I have nice feelings same as you?
32310Ca n''t eat it?
32310Ca n''t one man do same''s t''other, I''d like to know, Mis''Dawkins?"
32310Can we get a carriage anywhere and would it take us back without any money to pay it?
32310Can you see Dorothy Calvert anywhere behind?
32310Can you?"
32310Changing the subject, did you get a slide to- day?"
32310Could I-- could I climb out it?"
32310Could it be Dorothy?
32310Could n''t a body believe one''s own eyes?
32310Could she?
32310Did Millikins ever tell you a wrong story in her whole life?"
32310Did n''t the apples sell well?"
32310Did n''t the_ chef_ often say that"Seeing is believing,"when the scullery maid stole the raisins and he found them in her pocket?
32310Did n''t you know about it before?
32310Did n''t you pester the life clean out o''me till I said I''d try?
32310Did she really mean it?"
32310Did you ever see my mother, lady?"
32310Did you say the''whole school''?"
32310Did you see which way they went, Gwendolyn?"
32310Do love her and take her back into your trust, and may I go now to tell her she can go nutting and about Saturday, and may I hurry up?"
32310Do n''t that beat all?"
32310Do n''t you think it was terrible nice for Gwendolyn to give you your things?"
32310Do n''t you think so, Miss Muriel?"
32310Do n''t you think so?
32310Do n''t you?"
32310Do you like them?"
32310Do you mean that she is n''t in her own place?"
32310Do you play at all, on any instrument, or sing?"
32310Do you s''pose we could get a doctor to him?"
32310Do you suppose the Bishop has had it made, or bought it, for me?
32310Do you think I could get it?"
32310Do you think I ought to have them?
32310Do you want to be disgraced before them?"
32310Do you want to hear any more?
32310Do you?
32310Do your young eyes see something or somebody lying beyond in the middle of the road?"
32310Do''reptiles''buzz, Dolly, same as sting- bees do?
32310Doctor, what if it should be something contagious?
32310Does it rain every day in Canada?
32310Does n''t it make you feel you''re a bird of the air?
32310Dorothy Calvert, can you, will you ever forgive me?
32310Dorothy Calvert-- will you forgive me?"
32310Dorothy was frightened and surprised, and quickly asked:"How can anybody call that''sport''which is as dangerous as that?
32310Dorothy?
32310Down on her knees she went, flung her arms around the shaking shoulders, and pleaded:"Well, you poor dear, ca n''t you be glad of that?
32310Dressin''up like the Old Boy, be ye?
32310Else why should she kiss her?
32310Even if you can never like me is n''t it good to be alive?
32310Ever ride in an ox- cart?
32310Ever see a neater yoke o''cattle?
32310First start-- who be ye?"
32310For who could bear to leave behind that one last child of the great family?
32310Gilpin?"
32310Girl, what do you think?
32310Gwendolyn how dared you?
32310Gwendolyn turned toward Dorothy with a smile intended to be cordial, and asked:"Is that so, indeed?
32310Had harm befallen her favorite?
32310Has you?"
32310Have a biscuit, dear?"
32310Have n''t you another pair?
32310Have you an Honorable amongst you?
32310Have you felt any chill?"
32310Have you got anything to eat?
32310Have you?"
32310Have you?"
32310Have you?"
32310He called it''Baal,''as if that was its name; and was n''t it too funny for words?
32310He does n''t mince matters, does he?"
32310He had a dime novel in one pocket, an English sixpence in another-- And what was this?
32310He was so vexed with me because he thought-- May I go now, Ma''am?
32310He''s well now an''why should I go to harboring_ reptiles_ in my buzzum?
32310He?
32310Hey?"
32310How are you?"
32310How be ye all?
32310How can anybody help where they''re born or who their parents are?
32310How can she be right here in this house?
32310How could I?
32310How could there be under this safe roof?"
32310How dare she?
32310How dare you stay in bed so?"
32310How did you get Baal into this room without being detected in it?"
32310How did you keep warm in here, if this is where you lived?"
32310How is she doin'', lass?
32310How long will it be before we can go find the others?
32310I just stepped here to ask is Miss Dorothy Calvert staying the night?"
32310I mean your other one?
32310I wish-- do you suppose-- Ain''t there a winder some''ers nigh?
32310I wonder if I ought to take it back?
32310I wonder was the little Grace scared again, by that ridic''lous goat?
32310I wondered who he meant; but Lady Principal saw me looking in and asked me if''I wished anything?''
32310I''m safe, I''ll grant ye that; but-- sound?
32310I''m seekin''my fortune-- understand?
32310I-- I--""Lost?
32310If I asked you and your mother to come here to live, would you get tired?
32310If you must have an intimate, why not choose her from''our set''?"
32310If you''ll only remember I was n''t saucy then-- A girl you''d raised to hand, like me, could n''t really be saucy, could she?
32310In your mortal''arthly life, did ye?
32310Is Dorothy found?"
32310Is Dorothy in there?
32310Is he old enough?
32310Is it a''he''then and not one of the girls?"
32310Is n''t it fine-- fine?
32310Is n''t it funny?
32310Is n''t it marked plainly enough?
32310Is n''t she the very sight and image of Robin, the lad?
32310Is that why Dorothy went with her?
32310Is this Hall high up?
32310Is this another mystery of yours?"
32310It was her own party, was n''t it?
32310John Gilpin?
32310Just look out of window a minute-- what do you see?"
32310Leave before then?
32310Like to hear how I come nigh- hand to death along of a devil fish?
32310Looks rather rough, does n''t it?
32310Lost, you say?
32310Ma''am, did you hear tell of such a place?
32310May I go now and ask the Bishop, then tell the girls?"
32310May I talk to you a moment?"
32310May I, Madam?"
32310May I?"
32310May she and I give it?"
32310May she?"
32310May we go?"
32310Meanwhile how had the night passed with the imprisoned Dorothy?
32310Met you up with any trouble?
32310Miss Muriel, may I--?"
32310My, what''s this he clenches so tight in hand?
32310Negroes?
32310No living girl could make all that racket; yet-- was that a scream?
32310Nobody could call me all that, could they?
32310Not like the beggar folks come''tramping''by and has''victuals''given to them?
32310Now, what do you think of that?
32310Now-- what do you think of that?"
32310Old John turned his bare, bald head toward her and demanded:"What do you know about Halifax?
32310On Michael''s sled?
32310Or go to the railway stations?
32310Or the Governor General?
32310Or would she dislike to help care for the linen mending?
32310Please explain; are you''Peer''or''Lower House''?"
32310Queen Baltimore, are n''t you glad you''re poor?"
32310Queen, what shall we call you?
32310Right here and now, on the back of this letter of Father''s?
32310Right here in this town?
32310Robin?"
32310S''pose the faculty''ll offer a reward?
32310See?"
32310She asked merrily:"Is it there we keep our consciences?
32310She had accused him of"trying to kill her"as well as Gwen and little Grace; but he"kill anything"?
32310Slow and sure''s their motto and what''s an hour, more or less, in a little girl''s lifetime?
32310So I fastened''em together on the insides-- See?
32310So still that they were both frightened and Dolly asked:"How can we get him there, if they would take him in?
32310So that the sensitive girl was alarmed and asked:"Is it something that I''ve done but ought not?"
32310So you think it''s ptomaine poisoning, do you Doctor Jack- o''-my- thumb?
32310So-- Well, I suppose I''ll have to stay, then, for who wants to get took up?
32310Sound?
32310Still, as she turned to follow the teacher, she obediently saluted the physician and, glancing up into his face, saw-- was it possible that he winked?
32310Suppose he should get lost?"
32310Sure you could manage it on this steep incline?"
32310That seemed a very long answer to impatient Dawkins and she clipped it short by asking:"Then, Ma''am, where do you suppose she is?"
32310That was so funny she smiled, seeing it, and asked him:"Ca n''t you explain this, Jack?"
32310The simple country treat of nuts, popped corn, and cider had proved enjoyable to other schoolmates-- why should n''t it to Gwendolyn?
32310Then he dropped what the schoolgirls called his"preachy manner"and asked:"How do you like tobogganing?"
32310Then what do you want?"
32310This wo n''t be very different, will it?"
32310Understand?
32310Want to feel your hair rise on end and your arms get reg''lar goose- fleshy?
32310Was it laughter-- terror-- wild animal-- or what?
32310Was that what made him so top- lofty and up- steppin''?
32310Well, good- by, Queenie, with aching heart from you I part; when shall we meet again?
32310Were n''t you just awfully scared all the time?"
32310What are the things you''re talking about?"
32310What are they doing now?"
32310What did this mean?
32310What difference does it make, and who will know?
32310What do think?
32310What do you mean?
32310What do you mean?"
32310What do you take me for?
32310What do you think it was that happened?
32310What do you think now?
32310What do you think?"
32310What else do they l''arn children over in the States?
32310What has frightened you?"
32310What in creation makes you drag so on that strap and keep lookin''back?
32310What is it you want?
32310What is it?
32310What made her darling so incorrigible?
32310What makes you laugh, Winifred?
32310What next?
32310What of the latter''s realization?
32310What sent you out of bed, just in your nightgown?
32310What shall I do-- what shall I do?"
32310What sort of baby were you-- good, bad, or indifferent?
32310What stunts can you do?"
32310What was your bit of a roll down that smooth ice compared to what our girls went through?"
32310What wicked word is that you speak?"
32310What would Aunt Betty think of her heedless action?
32310What you carry me for, running so?"
32310What you doing in my house?
32310What''d he go for?
32310What''s it, lassie, you want?"
32310What''s that?"
32310What''s that?"
32310What''s the use standing here?"
32310What''s the use?
32310What''s yours, Dorothy?"
32310What?
32310Whatever are you talking about?
32310When may I, may we, go to see Robin?"
32310When''d you come?
32310When?"
32310Where are your suit case and hand bag?"
32310Where did he come from?"
32310Where do you hail from?"
32310Where have you kept him, Jack, and how?"
32310Where were you born?
32310Where''d the beast come from, anyway?
32310Where''d you come from?"
32310Where''s Robin now?"
32310Where''s your bath robe?"
32310Who are you, anyway, and what makes you stay in cubicle so long after breakfast?
32310Who are you?
32310Who can tell?
32310Who cares where it came from or how much it cost?
32310Who had done this thing?
32310Who would get it?
32310Who''ll win?"
32310Who''s the candidate you''re electioneering for?"
32310Whom do you mean?"
32310Why did I violate the privacy of Oak Knowe by setting them to search?
32310Why do n''t he come back?"
32310Why do you walk in it, Winifred?"
32310Why for ca n''t I be alive?
32310Why had she done it?
32310Why not go right away?
32310Why should she be made to feel so guilty and insignificant?
32310Why was I such a fool as to dance that jig instead of eating that pudding and beans?
32310Why, is that Ephraim a negro?"
32310Why, it''s only an hour ago, or not much more, since he spoke of it, and how could anybody go to town and back in that little while, in such a storm?"
32310Why?
32310Will she kindly advance and receive it?"
32310Will you be afraid?"
32310Will you be here?"
32310Will you see to it, Miss Muriel, that Dorothy has a toboggan rig provided?
32310Will you show me?"
32310Winifred caught the others about the waist and whirled them indoors again, first gleefully kissing her father''s bit of writing and asking:"Think so?
32310With more decency than she had hitherto shown, she finally asked:"However did you come to know so much botany, Miss Calvert?"
32310Wo n''t that be fine?"
32310Wo n''t the Lady Principal be angry if I do n''t get examined?"
32310Wo n''t you go with_ me_, dear?
32310Worst is, what''ll dame think?
32310Would Miss Tross- Kingdon pay it, do you think?
32310Would n''t I be able to talk for you?"
32310Would n''t I?
32310Would n''t cheaper ones answer for messing around in the snow?"
32310Would n''t you?"
32310Would she ever reach Oak Knowe, and how would this escapade be regarded there?
32310You are n''t real poor, are you, Dolly?
32310You did n''t get told, did you?"
32310You do n''t want it?
32310You got a box?"
32310Your duty--""Why, Lady Principal, you would n''t have us''pass by on the other side,''would you?
32310Your luggage, Miss, allow me?"
32310and say, look at the Aldrich ten-- can you see Dorothy?"
32310and should I dress before the supper?"
32310and when do you want us, Mother and me?"
32310dear, you know what I mean, do n''t you, dear Dawkins?"
32310do you mean it?
32310is n''t it good to see them?
32310may I?"
32310old woman, what''s the matter with you?
32310or your mother a Duchess?
32310ran Gwendolyn''s thoughts, and she showed her annoyance by asking:"Miss Calvert, will you oblige me by not screaming quite so loud?
32310remarked Bessie Walters; at which the others laughed and Annie Dow inquired,"Who is Robin?"
32310that style?"
32606A friend of yours, Madam?
32606Afraid? 32606 And mine, for my great- great- grandfather''s sister was-- How was that, dear Colonel?
32606And who''d ride it?
32606And without it, where could Ephy sleep and Chloe cook? 32606 Are there any fish here?"
32606Are those monkeys for sale?
32606Aunt Betty, are n''t you well? 32606 Aunt Betty, what does that''of T''mean after that queer Colonel''s name?"
32606Aurora Blank? 32606 Be you goin''to stay to my house all your life?
32606Boy, are you always so cross before breakfast?
32606But are n''t you glad, Jim?
32606But, Cunnel, how''bout you? 32606 But, Dorothy, are n''t you afraid?
32606Can he be ridden?
32606Cruising in the woods, you mean, eh? 32606 Did you ever notice?
32606Did you get a beam? 32606 Did you plant this celery?"
32606Dillingham? 32606 Do you stay here alone those times, ma''am?
32606Do you suppose it was really to find the''buried treasure''the Colonel came? 32606 Dolly Doodles-- what you sayin''?"
32606Eh, what? 32606 Elsa Carruthers?"
32606Engineer James Barlow?
32606Ephraim, did you ever live in a house- boat?
32606Evah lib in a house- boat? 32606 Fall into the Eddy?
32606Fifteen?
32606Foolish girl, do n''t you know that there ca n''t be two heads to any management?
32606For me? 32606 For sale?"
32606Got money left for your''passage?''
32606How about me, dear? 32606 How can we dare, how could we if we dared, try the Bay?
32606How do you know it''s French if you do n''t know French?
32606How much yo''tax''em at?
32606How much?
32606How? 32606 I say, Dolly Calvert, have you lost your senses?"
32606I-- I could n''t do very much-- with a paperknife, could I? 32606 If we had any papers, and we haven''t-- who''d we show them to, anyway?"
32606Is it really, truly mine, to do with exactly as I want?
32606Is n''t it the queerest thing? 32606 Is n''t she?
32606It''s like a church, is n''t it? 32606 Jim, do n''t you want to take a chance?
32606Lost? 32606 Lucetty?
32606Mabel Bruce?
32606Master Engineer, John Stinson?
32606Miss Calvert, did you know that you make the thirteenth person?
32606Mr. Ephraim Brown- Calvert?
32606Mrs. Charlotte Bruce?
32606Mrs. Chloe Brown, assistant chef and dishwasher?
32606Mrs. Elisabeth Cecil Somerset Calvert?
32606My dear sir, what have I said? 32606 None the rest?
32606Oh, we''re both right on hand, do n''t you know? 32606 Ottawotta Run?
32606Papers? 32606 Please, sir, wo n''t you try to make him go?"
32606Say? 32606 Shall I ever forget?
32606Ship''s papers, child alive? 32606 Story?
32606They''re terribly alive, indeed, do n''t you know? 32606 They-- why-- why-- what have you done?
32606Twenty- five?
32606Twenty?
32606Was it the color of his smock made him measly? 32606 Wattymillyouns?
32606Well, now, mate, how d''ye_ know_ them''s cows''tracks? 32606 Well, what is it, Sainty?"
32606Well, what of it? 32606 What about a horse, or a mule?
32606What about your monkey, Gerry?
32606What did his brother say, please?
32606What does Mr. Stillwell do, your husband, to tire him, so''t he needs the woods to rest him? 32606 What seest thou, lad?
32606What''s that? 32606 What''s that?
32606What''s the use eyeing a fellow like that? 32606 What''s up?"
32606What''s-- happened?
32606Wheah''s he gwine at?
32606When we go house- boating may I invite anybody I choose to go with us?
32606Where did Elsa take those monks? 32606 Where is he?
32606Where you come from? 32606 Where''s other brother, Saint Anne?
32606Why not, indeed, Aunt Betty? 32606 Why, babies dear, what''s the matter?
32606Why, good people, what''s the matter?
32606Why, little ones, what are you doing? 32606 Would that take long?
32606Yeah''m I?
32606Yes, is n''t it? 32606 You had money enough to buy fool monkeys, did n''t you?"
32606''Spect we''d be let to sail out o''port''ithout showin''our licenses?
32606''What you- all doin''ter mah li''l lamb?''
32606''Why- fo''?''
32606A doctor?
32606A moment later, when he had recognized the befused and battered teamster, demanding:"Who you fightin''with now, By Smith?
32606About Billy?
32606About our great- great- grandmother''s-- father''s-- relationship?
32606Afraid to stay alone back there?"
32606After a moment of surprise Melvin broke the silence, asking:"Do you have this kind of thing often in Maryland?"
32606Ai n''t it de trufe?"
32606Ai n''t it de trufe?"
32606Ai n''t that the limit?"
32606All these days what have you done?"
32606Almost all the autumn flowers are either purple or yellow or white?
32606And I say is n''t this the beastliest slow- poke of a hole you ever saw?
32606And do n''t you s''pose we could carry Gerry there, just the same as we brought him here?
32606And have a man from the shop attend to it?
32606And how did you know all that about the colors?"
32606And if Mrs. Betty''s so poor, what you doing with a house- boat, anyway?"
32606And in this"look ahead"Dorothy was asked:"What shall you do with the Water Lily, when this year''s cruise is over?"
32606And what fool would give such a thing as a house- boat to a chit of a girl like our Dorothy?"
32606And what was that I heard about quitting?"
32606And, Colonel Dillingham, ca n''t you ride Billy alongside, on the shores we pass?
32606And, after all, what does it matter where we live or what we have so long as there is peace and good will in one''s heart?
32606And, look- a- here?
32606Are all those letters from your summer- friends?
32606Are n''t we all?
32606Are n''t we going to be gloriously happy?
32606Are n''t you glad that''Uncle Seth''gave me the''Water Lily''?"
32606Are n''t you glad to see me, again?"
32606Are n''t you glad you came?
32606Are they people or just dear, dear animals?"
32606Are you all up there?
32606Are you taking them for their''constitutional''now, Elsa dear?"
32606As he finished the"Learned Blacksmith"drew his beloved ward to his side and looked into her sparkling eyes, asking:"Well, Dolly Doodles, what say?"
32606At this his fury burst forth again and he slouched upon poor Cap''n Jack with uplifted fists and the demand:"Whe''s my team at, you thief?
32606Aunt Betty, Uncle Seth?"
32606Aunt Betty, is n''t that fine?
32606Aunt Betty, too, grew more serious and she asked the practical question:"Is it a very expensive thing to run?
32606Auntie, do n''t you like him?
32606Auntie, that boat would hold a lot of people, would n''t it?"
32606Back so soon?
32606Besides, ladies in distress?
32606But do n''t you know a lot of Baltimoreans, or Marylanders, write their names that way?
32606But even then her timidity moved her to say:"Suppose something happens?
32606But have you no greeting for your old acquaintance, Mr. Stinson?
32606But how does a person transport monkeys?"
32606But how is the man conducting himself now?"
32606But how?
32606But if this little girl would like to have them we are delighted to make her a present of them, do n''t you know?
32606But is n''t it going to be just lovely, living on the Water Lily?
32606But now, has everybody had all the breakfast wanted?
32606But the face clouded when he asked:"Got any money, Sis?"
32606But what''s the odds?
32606But where is Jim?
32606But, at that moment, Mr. Carruthers himself appeared on the roof of the cabin, demanding:"What''s up, Cap''n Jack?
32606But, tell-- tell-- how came you up there?"
32606But, what were you going to say?"
32606But-- shall I, folks?
32606But-- what can you expect?
32606By the way, Dorothy, who deals out the provisions on this trip?"
32606Ca n''t pay?
32606Ca n''t you be glad to get home without begging for money?
32606Ca n''t you read?
32606Calvert?"
32606Calvert?"
32606Calvert?"
32606Can anybody see the tender?"
32606Can we go on board and inspect?"
32606Can you see?
32606Captain Hurry, Captain Barlow, Captain Blank, Captain Cook----""What do Barlow and Cook know about the water?
32606Captain Jack Hurry?"
32606Cayn''t you, Billy?"
32606Cheat an honest man of his earnin''s, will you?"
32606Chicken''s nice, ai n''t it, with gravy?
32606Corny Stillwell, do you know what day this is?
32606Corny''s my papa, do n''t you know?
32606Cruise?
32606D''ye happen to see Billy, anywhere?"
32606Did Gerald need me?"
32606Did anybody know where his clothes were?
32606Did n''t I warn ye''twas comin''?
32606Did n''t you see the signs''No Trespassing''everywhere?
32606Did n''t you want to come?
32606Did you never get into the woods and smell the ferns and things?
32606Did you, boys?"
32606Did your mother save any for herself?
32606Dillingham of T?
32606Do I know what sort of mule Cunnel Dillingham has?
32606Do n''t it appear like the doctor''s rig?
32606Do n''t it beat all?
32606Do n''t know how?
32606Do n''t like it?
32606Do n''t they sell hay up home at Baltimore?
32606Do n''t you know?
32606Do n''t you really know, either?"
32606Do n''t you think so?"
32606Do n''t you''member?
32606Do you know her and where she lies?"
32606Do you know one?"
32606Do you know this doctor and dislike him?
32606Do you know where he is?"
32606Do you mean you want him right beside you?"
32606Do you mention that hated name to me?
32606Do you remember?"
32606Do you suppose the monkeys can catch it?
32606Do you want a job?"
32606Does he farm it?"
32606Does it seem it can be true that it''s really, truly ours?"
32606Does n''t she look exactly like one?
32606Does n''t that seem queer?
32606Dorothy held her dripping bit of melon at arm''s length and quickly asked:"What do you mean?
32606Eh, Cunnel?
32606Eh?
32606Eh?
32606Eunice?
32606Evah kiss a cat''s lef''hind foot?
32606Even Mommer calls herself Mrs. Edward Newcomer- Blank of R.""Why''of R?''
32606Ford an''deers feedin''?
32606Fourteen eaters and twelve halves of broiled chicken-- Problem, who goes without?"
32606Funny old snoozer, ai n''t he?"
32606Funny, was n''t that?
32606Gerald Blank stared and asked:"In what way, please?
32606Gerald Blank?"
32606Go thirds with us in''em?"
32606Good?
32606Got any melons?
32606Got it?"
32606Had this down- trodden"worm"actually"turned"?
32606Has the wild raging of the Patapsco scared the lady passengers?
32606Have a cup of tea, Miss-- Calvert, is it?"
32606Have a swallow, Commodore?"
32606Have n''t tumbled out of a balloon, have ye?
32606Have n''t you seen it in the papers?"
32606Have you hurt yourselves?"
32606He added to them:"Dorothy Calvert makes me think of my mother, do n''t you know?
32606He finished by asking:"Is there any house near where we can take this boy?
32606He may get restless and Corny-- Did he take his gun?"
32606He said, my papa said:''Suppose younkers we start a circus of our own?''
32606He was saved, was n''t he?
32606Hear that?
32606Here was a solution to their own dilemma--"what shall we do with the monks?"
32606Hey?
32606His expression hurt her, somehow, and she turned away her eyes, asking a practical question of her own:"Would three hundred dollars do it?"
32606How can a Calvert tell a guest to go home again after that?"
32606How could a fellow lose anything in this hole, even if he tried?
32606How dare you?"
32606How did he get here?
32606How do you suppose, in this mortal world, those women and girls had gumption enough to run away with that house- boat?
32606How on earth do you put in your time?
32606How''d you do it?
32606How''s farming?
32606How''s this for medicine?"
32606I allow my faithful Billy to set foot on that soil?
32606I can talk, ca n''t I?
32606I could fancy I was still on shipboard, do n''t you know?"
32606I did n''t know-- I''m sorry, I''ll plant them right back-- I only did what the others said-- Nobody warned me-- us--""_ Us?_ Are there others then?
32606I did n''t know-- I''m sorry, I''ll plant them right back-- I only did what the others said-- Nobody warned me-- us--""_ Us?_ Are there others then?
32606I go to Ottawotta?
32606I hope Jim will find the little Saint right soon and be back, too; but do n''t you think they''ll be frightened about you?
32606I tell you he''s a character----""Billy?
32606I was coming after the monkeys, they''re mine you know-- or half mine, but-- do they act that way often?"
32606I''ll slip off again without seeing Elsa, and you understand?
32606I''m a''hireling,''too, d''ye mind?
32606I''ve invested all I can afford in monkeys just now, do n''t you know?
32606I----""Young man, do you doubt my word, sir?"
32606If it had chicken on it could you hold it right side up and not lose a single bit?
32606If you''ll tell me where the hoe is, please?"
32606Is Billy lookin''comf''table?"
32606Is aught wrong beyond already?"
32606Is he comf''table?
32606Is it far to Deer- Copse?"
32606Is it still full of those ill- bred men, who swarmed over this boat as if they owned it?"
32606Is n''t grass really hay?
32606Is n''t it just glorious?
32606Is n''t there a man here?"
32606Is n''t there any sort of light we can get?"
32606Is our good lady sick?"
32606Is that the truly nautical way to speak?
32606Is they, Billy?"
32606Is''t a bargain?
32606It just came to me-- what can they think, when they come back and find you gone, except that you were out of your mind and wandered off?
32606It''s awful bad luck to fight at sea, do n''t you know?"
32606It''s nicer''an buttermilk, ai n''t it?
32606Jim finished his recital with the eager inquiry:"Now, sir, do n''t you think you can sell Billy and put a reasonable price on him?"
32606Jim tried to keep his face straight as he inquired:"What is the price of Billy, sir?"
32606Josephine?
32606Just because a healthy boy got caught in a''gust''?
32606Just me alone?
32606Just suppose?
32606Likely these whole States have been dug over, foot by foot, same''s our Province has, do n''t you know?
32606Lost wallet?
32606Lost your wagon, have you?
32606Love is the most beautiful thing in all the world, is n''t it?
32606Metty looked up and sat up-- with a groan:"Say, Mister,''d you evah hab de tummy- ache?"
32606Most of these nodded to him as they passed, with an indifferent"Howdy, Cunnel?"
32606Must ye go, boys?
32606My old one I gave Miss Molly, do n''t you know?
32606Never really at peace''cept when ye''re rowin'', are ye?"
32606No radiance followed, and, watching from the doorway, Cap''n Jack triumphantly exclaimed:"Did n''t I know it?
32606No?
32606Not Wesley, nor Saint Augustine, nor Dorcas, nor Sheba, nor teeny- tiny David boy?
32606Not much, do you think?"
32606Now ai n''t that clever?
32606Now as he held the telegram in his hand his face clouded, so that Griselda, watching, anxiously inquired:"Is something wrong?
32606Now-- how much money have you on hand?"
32606Odd, is n''t it, Madam?"
32606Of course, girlie, I do n''t mean that fully, but is n''t it a queer notion?
32606Only, what about Gerald?
32606Or ai n''t you no memory left in that rattle- pate o''you- all''s?
32606Or to-- to make up friends with his daughter?"
32606Or would you be afraid?"
32606Or, rather, to go back and start over again-- if we dare?"
32606Or, will you come, too?"
32606Path?
32606Pay?
32606Price of melons?
32606Queer, ai n''t it?
32606Rising, he asked:"Mr. Stillwell, can you show us the way to Deer- Copse, or tell us I mean?
32606S''posing he left one his hairs on that chicken?
32606Say for about three months?"
32606Say, Daddy dear?
32606Say, Dorcas,''twouldn''t not do to give mamma grapes what have fell into dirty grass, would it?
32606Say, Elsa----""Gerald, I mean Mr. Blank, is all that true?"
32606See?
32606Seems if they''s gone a dreadful spell, do n''t it?
32606Shall I send down a tug to tow you back to the city?
32606Shall we wait for him?
32606She scarcely heard and wholly failed to understand Dorothy''s repeated question:"May I, dear Aunt Betty?"
32606Six dollars a meal, eighteen dollars a day, how long will what is left of three hundred dollars last, after we pay for Billy, as you said we must?"
32606Six whole dollars for one single breakfast?
32606So they''ve at last called upon my house- boat friends, have they?
32606Sometimes, do n''t you know?
32606Stillwell?"
32606Stream o''water?
32606Suppose he were to contract pneumonia?
32606Suppose we should get lost?
32606That just a little bit of ignorance can hide important things from a fellow, that way?
32606That slender slip of a woman does almost all their farm work, herself?
32606The sick boy has all he wants, do n''t he?
32606The"good side"of Gerald came uppermost and he awkwardly apologized:"Just forget I was a cad, will you, boys?
32606Then his good nature made him explain:"What''s a wharf- master for, d''ye s''pose?
32606Then standing as upright as he could, he shouted:"Now face that way-- North, ai n''t it?
32606Then, too, Jim, did you know that poor Mabel Bruce has lost her father?
32606Then-- Did you ever hear a colored woman holler?
32606There was a boat- hook hanging on the rail-- that''s a long thing with a spike, or hook, at one end, to pull a boat to shore, do n''t you know?
32606They are all new, are n''t they?
32606They are welcome, sure, but-- what''s wrong here?"
32606They look terrible little, do n''t they, now they''re cooked?
32606They''ll be trying it, but the Water Lily''s your boat now, is n''t it?"
32606This is her racket, is n''t it?
32606This was so evident that she smiled as she asked:"Who thinks best to give up this trip?
32606This was too much for the lads and a laugh arose; but the old man merely peered over his specs at them and mildly asked:"What you- all laughin''at?
32606Undoing the fastening and lifting the lid of this inner"shrine"there lay revealed-- What?
32606Want to see''em?"
32606Warn''t that the purtiest leetle blow''t ever you see?
32606Was another frightful tempest coming?
32606Was he down in Tony''s Eddy?"
32606Was n''t it a pretty notion to paint the tender green like a real lily''Pad?''
32606Was n''t none of''em your sons, were they, Ma''am?"
32606Was n''t that funny?
32606Was this the poor, timid Elsa who now faced him with flashing eyes?
32606Wat- ty- mill- youns?
32606We may n''t take the same route you''d have chosen, but-- will you come?
32606Well, ship''s comp''ny, how''d ye like it?
32606Well, what you say?"
32606Well?"
32606Were you sorry for me, along with the rest?"
32606What are monkeys?
32606What are they doing?
32606What can I do to make it pleasanter for you?"
32606What do I say?
32606What do you mean by that?"
32606What do you mean?"
32606What do you mean?"
32606What do you say?
32606What do you say?"
32606What does it mean?"
32606What had happened?
32606What in reason''d ye hire me for, then?
32606What in the world can you, could you, do with a house- boat?"
32606What is in that box you brought along?
32606What is it?
32606What job?"
32606What makes you look so queer, Mr. Corny?
32606What next?
32606What papers?"
32606What sort of a man are you, anyway?
32606What will befall her there?
32606What would these here women an''childern do if it was n''t for Cap''n Jack Hurry a pertectin''of''em?
32606What you doing?"
32606What you found now?"
32606What you jabbering about now?
32606What''ll we do?"
32606What''s doing?
32606What''s the fun of pulling things up that way?"
32606What''s the price, sailor?
32606What''s the use?
32606What''s them new- fangled notions wuth in a case o''need?
32606What''s to hinder you two boys, you and Corny, following along in your wagon yonder with the monkeys''cage?
32606What''s up?
32606What''s up?
32606What--_what_--_is this_?"
32606What?
32606What?
32606Wheah''s it at-- dat t''ing?"
32606Where are the rest?
32606Where can we get a breakfast?"
32606Where they at?"
32606Where you going to stow them all, child?"
32606Where you going?
32606Where''d you find him, our little brother?
32606Where''s he at, quick?"
32606Where''s your gumption at?"
32606Where?
32606Which is the way home?"
32606Who do they suspect?"
32606Who told you he was a captain, or had ever been afloat?"
32606Who''d see any of your new clothes?"
32606Why ain''yo''tote one dese yeah bastics?"
32606Why are n''t you back yonder with the rest?
32606Why are n''t you up and at it?
32606Why are you despoiling my property, trampling my choicest ferns, trespassing upon my private park?"
32606Why did n''t you choose your own familiar friends?"
32606Why do n''t we go aboard and start?"
32606Why do n''t you start-- if it''s you who''s to manage this craft, as you claim?
32606Why do you look so sober all of a sudden?"
32606Why do you look so''sollumcolic?''
32606Why does he sit sidewise and gloom at everybody, that way?"
32606Why else?''
32606Why have n''t you come before and why have you come now?
32606Why not take it easy?
32606Why not, Auntie, darling?"
32606Why should he have gone away from the Stillwell cottage before you, in that sudden way you mentioned?"
32606Why should he, whom Gerald had openly despised, be chained to that boy''s bedside?
32606Why should his own holiday be spoiled for a stranger, an interloper?
32606Why were all those people running away so fast?
32606Why worry or hurry?
32606Why, boy, what''s the matter?
32606Why, folks, do you know?
32606Why, for instance, the two Blanks?"
32606Why, what would any of us have done if she had n''t been here?
32606Why-- what-- are you ill, Colonel?"
32606Why?"
32606Will the man who owns that grass like to have him graze it that way?
32606Will they be of any use on a house- boat?"
32606Will you be real careful?
32606Will you go back to the Lily and get more help?
32606Will you see that, lads?"
32606Will you tell her?
32606Will you, dear?"
32606Will you?"
32606Winters?"
32606With-- a-- boat- hook, d''ye hear?"
32606Wo n''t it be grand to have it for a surprise?
32606Wo n''t it cost a great deal to let Billy do that, if hay is worth much?"
32606Wo n''t they laugh at us?"
32606Wo n''t you?"
32606Wonderful, ai n''t it?
32606Woods, says you?
32606Would n''t you, Melvin?
32606Would you like to come and see it done, Eunice?"
32606Would you like to see the monkeys?
32606Would you trust them with me away from home?
32606Would you?"
32606You black idiot, do you reckon a gentleman who can afford to give away a mule''s goin''to take money for a few trumpery water- melons?
32606You do n''t mind, really, do you, Auntie, darling?
32606You do n''t_ see_ cows around, do ye?
32606You have''em, too, do n''t you?
32606You keep real far back, wo n''t you?
32606You should, do n''t you know?"
32606You wo n''t join?"
32606You would n''t like to tell a wrong story, would you, Mamma dear?
32606You would n''t want to make poor darling mamma sick, like the Geraldy boy, would you, Sheba Stillwell?
32606You''ll be my guest, wo n''t you?
32606You''re not half bad, do n''t you know?
32606You''re safe now and-- are you hungry?"
32606You''re so smart with those detestable monks, suppose you go on training''em and exhibit when you get back to town?
32606Your company all back?"
32606Your name''s Calvert, ai n''t it?"
32606_ Afraid!__ I?_ Why that_ is_ a joke, indeed!"
32606_ I cayn''t sell Billy._""Ten dollars?"
32606_ Invited_ him, do n''t you see?
32606_ Mistress?_ Well, I''ll have you to know, you young hireling, that I''m my own master.
32606and is n''t it just jolly?
32606and look- a- here, have n''t you held on to your grudge long enough?
32606and that cute little row- boat a reddish brown, like an actual''Stem?''
32606and what are you peering at with your bright eyes?
32606answered the sailor, with offended dignity;"and do n''t you know, you Simple Simon,''t they always has to be a head to everything?
32606chanted Gerald Blank, in irony;"Is anybody seasick?
32606demanded Melvin, running to where Chloe stood, holding her sides and shaking with laughter,"where have they gone?"
32606is it you-- truly-- really-- you darling Uncle Seth?
32606is n''t that sweet?
32606or a''Howdy''for the doctor?
32606what was that she was saying?
32606what?
32606where, how is Billy?"
32606you old villain, here again be ye?
