46159Aha,said Pwit- Pwit, into the ear of old Mahmoud,"did n''t I tell you I could manage the roar of the Jungle?"
46159And the corroboration of all the other Menial People?
46159Any brothers or sisters?
46159Are you for the second time a father?
46159Born so?
46159But how could they live so long without eating?
46159Canst thou remember the time long before we came to this pleasant place, when, for many weary months, we were separated, my beloved?
46159Did he get away?
46159Did n''t Grandfather get the hook after all?
46159Do n''t seem to have much appetite for red feathers to- day, do they?
46159Do try half a dozen raw, dearie, wo n''t you?
46159Do you find it hard going without?
46159Do you know what Dozel says about you?
46159Do you mean to say,said Pwit- Pwit, in surprise,"that Fatimah found the baby in the water to begin with?"
46159Do you suppose the sparrow has already told her of Mahmoud''s command?
46159Eh?
46159Good morning, Mr. Kelly,he said politely,"are you feeling quite well?"
46159Have you lost your appetite?
46159He''ll never swallow any more fish- hooks, will he, John?
46159How old are you?
46159If the sparrow were only here,said the Princess,"there would be a lot of gossip about it; would n''t there, Toots?"
46159Is it indeed true?
46159Look, Friend of my Youth,he said, after a moment,"is it the chirp of our merry little gossip, the sparrow, that I hear?"
46159My little daughter calls you''Toots''; what''s your real name?
46159Oh, would that be possible, sir?
46159Pride of my Heart,said Mahmoud, turning eagerly to his faithful mate and stroking her cheek,"do you hear?
46159Reel him in, why do n''t you?
46159So that''s your opinion of''em, too, is it, Dozel, my dear? 46159 That so?"
46159That''s so,answered John, good naturedly;"maybe you''d rather put him in the spring, and keep him for a pet?"
46159The lions,said Mahmoud, eagerly,"are the lions ready?"
46159Well, what do you think of that?
46159What are they talking about?
46159What are you up to now?
46159What does he say?
46159What on earth are you laughing at?
46159What''s the matter, old chap?
46159Where are Fatimah and the new baby?
46159Where will the little pickerels get another father?
46159Why are you so sad this morning?
46159Why, certainly,answered Caliph,"where would you expect to find a new baby hippopotamus?"
46159Would it hurt?
46159Would you believe it?
46159Again the lion cubs roared at Pwit- Pwit as he was passing, demanding the news:"Where did the hippopotamus baby come from?
46159And of a truth this is meet, for is not the sparrow official news- gatherer and gossip for all the Menial People?
46159And thy lameness this morning, my beloved, hath it disappeared?"
46159And where wert thou, my Lord, during that dreary time of our separation?"
46159At length he replaced the irons, looked the boy sharply in the face, and asked:"How would you like to wear it like the other one, for a change?"
46159But how about bait?
46159By the way, Pwit- Pwit, little one, how are Cleopatra and her monkey baby this morning?"
46159Can it be that my ears are growing dull, also, that I failed to hear the clank of the iron on his leg?"
46159Did n''t you hear her roaring at the little upstart to behave himself?
46159Did somebody leave the door open?"
46159Did you not observe them flying in all directions?"
46159Did you notice what a horrid big mouth she has?"
46159Didst thou say, my Lord, that the Master People imprison those scorching red tongues in iron boxes?"
46159Do n''t you know it rained last night?
46159Do you hear?
46159Do you insist on bringing that young person into this respectable family?"
46159Do you recall, O Light of my Life, how the little Limping Boy stood at our door and talked softly to himself?
46159Grandfather Pickerel cast his eye over his audience, and asked:"Where is my son?"
46159Have you named the baby yet, Fatimah?"
46159How is it, Pwit- Pwit, that so much fuss is made over a single baby?
46159Hum, ha, where did you get that story about the elephant skin- grafting you''ve just been telling?"
46159Is n''t it disgraceful?"
46159Is n''t it pitiful?
46159Is there any one among all the Menial People whose word you will accept as the eternal truth?"
46159Is this the truth?
46159Look, Pwit- Pwit, little one, do you see that prong, broken short off?"
46159Now will you be good?"
46159Oh, what shall I do?
46159Presently she said, with surprise and some reproach in her tones:"Why hast thou concealed thy wounds from me, thy faithful mate, my Lord?
46159Pwit- Pwit flew up and alighted on one of the prongs and chirped merrily into the deer''s ear:"Glorious fun, this snow, is n''t it, old fellow?"
46159She cuffed them right and left, saying:[ Illustration]"How often have I told you not to disturb your grandfather when he is taking his nap?
46159Surely this is since we came from the Jungle?
46159The sparrow hopped up on the rim of Mahmoud''s ear, and said cheerily:"Why do n''t you go home for a visit?"
46159The sparrow hopped upon that of Mahmoud, and said:"Where are your eyes, old friend?
46159These blue laws are beastly, are n''t they?"
46159Toots reflected for several moments, and then inquired:"What becomes of the hook, John?"
46159Verily, is not he the only one of our world that is not locked fast in a yard or in an iron cage by the Master People?
46159Were the other eggs eaten by the crocodiles?"
46159What do you say to that?"
46159What does your father do?"
46159What does your mother do?"
46159What has befallen in the Lion House that gives cause for rejoicing?"
46159What shall I do?"
46159What''s the matter with you?"
46159When the other voices had subsided, up spoke the aged striped hyena in his evil- tempered voice, demanding:"Wherefore rejoice?
46159With these words the sparrow flew at the eyes of the oldest bear, pecking away with all his might, and chirping:"Come, now, will you wake up?
46159You do n''t happen to have a cigar about you, I suppose?"
46159[ Illustration]"Well,"chirped Pwit- Pwit,"did you hear the verdict of old Caliph?"
46159chirped the sparrow, exultantly;"what about the tail?"
46159he said finally;"the beautiful young Indian doe at whom you have been making eyes through the wires of your cage ever since she arrived?"
46159only one?
46159said Pwit- Pwit, astounded and quite off his guard,"you do n''t mean to say you smoke?"
45975Am I?
45975Am I?
45975Am I?
45975And about my mother?
45975And are you very dull, my boy?
45975And you want nothing?
45975Are you very dull here?
45975Ca n''t the world be made a little more level? 45975 Did I not tell you some people called me by that name?
45975Do n''t you think it''s-- just a little old and shabby, for a prince?
45975Do you? 45975 Does he?"
45975Forsake you? 45975 He ought to be far more forward than he is now, ought he not, brother?
45975How old is his Royal Highness?
45975How shall I be able to rule all this great people? 45975 How?"
45975I wonder-- is there a remedy now, and could I find it?
45975Is n''t it rude?--won''t they think us-- intruding?
45975Is that the King?
45975Might he come and play with me? 45975 My pretty bird, what am I to do with you?
45975Nurse-- dear nurse,said he,"I do n''t mean to vex you, but tell me-- what is a king?
45975Outgrow-- what?
45975Shall I turn back?
45975Such a heap of untidy books; and what''s this rubbish?
45975Suppose I say''Abracadabra?''
45975Tell me what, dear godmother?
45975What does it matter though?
45975What in the world am I to do?
45975What is it?
45975What is kissing?
45975What is the matter with him?
45975What shall we do now?
45975What sort of thing?
45975What will be fun?
45975Where is the King?
45975Who spoke to me? 45975 Why do you call me poor?"
45975Will you tell her to come and see me then?
45975Yes, I am a prince, and my name is Dolor; will you tell me yours, madam?
45975You have never used it; you dislike it?
45975You will not leave me now that I am a king? 45975 You''ve had enough, I suppose, of seeing the world?"
45975And above it, high in air, how could he expect to find a well, or to get even a drop of water?
45975And did he enjoy them?
45975And even if he slung or flung himself down, and by miraculous chance came alive to the foot of the tower how could he run away?
45975And it contained-- what do you think?
45975And this was being dead?
45975And what did he see?
45975And what of the little lame prince, whom everybody seemed so easily to have forgotten?
45975And what of the travelling- cloak?
45975And what was the fact?
45975As he spoke, there sounded behind him a slight tap- tap- tap, as of a stick or a cane, and twisting himself round, he saw-- what do you think he saw?
45975But even if you did not know it, how dared you presume to hint that her most gracious Majesty is called Dolorez?"
45975But he crouched down, silent and quiet; what was the use of making a fuss?
45975But why do you talk of bearing it?
45975But, suppose you were to see it from the upper air; where, with your eyes and ears open, you could take in everything at once?
45975Can not you?
45975Could n''t you show me just one little boy?"
45975Did Prince Dolor become a great king?
45975Did his reign last long-- long and happy?--and what were the principal events of it, as chronicled in the history of Nomansland?
45975Did nobody remember?
45975Did you know that all clay was mud made by the washing away of rocks?
45975Do you?
45975For what do you think the clever godmother did?
45975Godmother, dear, have you quite forsaken me?"
45975Had he got all the things he wanted, which another ought to have had?
45975He ca n''t see you, but perhaps you might like to go and take a look at him, in a way I often do?
45975He had nearly come to the end of his provisions-- and what was to happen next?
45975His nurse and his godmother-- what would they say to one another?
45975How did anybody know?--I mean, what business has anybody--?"
45975How would you feel about it?
45975I wonder"--the boy was always wondering--"Nurse"--and one day he startled her with a sudden question--"tell me-- shall I ever be a king?"
45975If I take you into my room and shut you up there, you, a wild skylark of the air, what will become of you?
45975If legs are no good, why can not one have wings?
45975In case of my death, you will take care of my poor little boy?"
45975In spite of his disappointment he examined it curiously._"]"And what use will it be to me?"
45975Is there not something wrong about him?"
45975May I ask who you are?
45975Perhaps my mother?"
45975Promise never to forsake me?"
45975Shall I show you the royal palace?"
45975She was not a stupid woman, and Prince Dolor was by no means a stupid boy; so they got on very well, and his continual entreaty"What can I do?
45975So, even kings died?
45975Something might happen-- who could tell?
45975The idea came to her-- what harm would it be, even if he did know his own history?
45975True, it kept out of the way; and though his nurse sometimes dimly heard it, and said,"What is that horrid noise outside?"
45975Was he, though little more than a boy,"the father of his people,"as all kings ought to be?
45975Was that it?
45975Was there one-- was it his little lark, whom he had almost forgotten?
45975Well for you that you have a godmother called----""What?"
45975What has happened, I wonder?
45975What he did there, or where he is now, who can tell?
45975What sort of cloak was it, and what good did it do the Prince?
45975What such want could possibly happen to the heir of the powerful monarch of Nomansland?
45975What was Prince Dolor''s?
45975What was he like, this great, bad, clever man?
45975What would it look like?
45975What, I wonder, would be most people''s idea of a king?
45975Where is your travelling- cloak?"
45975Who could oppose the good King, who was not a young king now?
45975Why was this given me, I wonder?
45975Will her coming drive you away, godmother?"
45975Will you come and play with me?"
45975Yes-- perhaps-- If you please, godmother, could you bring me just one more thing?"
45975You will be so miserable, and suppose my nurse should find you-- she who ca n''t bear the sound of singing?
45975[ Illustration:_"How old is his Royal Highness?"
45975_ Why_ not?"
45975a lark, for instance?"
45975and what in the world am I to do with it?
45975shall I ever be one?"
45975what can you be thinking of?
45975what can you find me to do?"
45975what has become of your Royal Highness all this time?
20052An accident? 20052 And did you enjoy the_ pater''s_ smashing the Doulton bowl?"
20052And what do you suppose she came for?
20052And what do_ you_ propose to do in that case?
20052And why did my son put my most cherished work into a stranger''s hands without my knowledge?
20052And will you promise not to tell anybody that I''m trying-- not a single creature-- not even Felix or Jack?
20052And you wo n''t work so hard again, will you?
20052Are you coming?
20052Are you hurt, old fellow? 20052 Are you two coming, or are you not?"
20052Are you_ sure_ about this?
20052Art filled with fears for Thursday''s function?
20052But why this absurd disguise, if all this is true?
20052Ca n''t you behave yourselves, you young rascals?
20052Ca n''t you find anything better to do, Jack, than encouraging Betty to be rude and unladylike?
20052Coming, boys?
20052Could such an accident--I''d told him that Fee had struck his back against a chair and then fallen--"do anybody--_harm_?"
20052Did you think I was wound up to- night?
20052Do n''t you know me, old fellow?
20052Do n''t you want to get up?
20052Do you hear me?
20052Does n''t know you, old man, does she?
20052Does that satisfy you? 20052 Fee, dear,"she said in an undertone,"do n''t you feel well?
20052Fee,I whispered,--I did n''t want Nora to hear,--"can I do anything to help?
20052Felix and I are here, papa; what can we do for you?
20052Had n''t I better help you up, Fee?
20052How is your head?
20052I am, eh?
20052I suppose you think, as Nora does, that we''re a pretty mean set?
20052I wonder if Chad will be round?
20052I wonder what''s up?
20052I''ll see to that; do you suppose I''m_ utterly_ useless? 20052 I''m afraid Mädel will be off in a few minutes, too, if we do n''t quiet Kathie; had n''t I better call Nannie?"
20052I-- I-- mean-- were you going to burn-- your book?
20052If it is nervousness, why do n''t you do something for it?--go to a physician and get cured?
20052In fact, I think it is good; only, instead of three of you going at papa about it, why not let one speak for all? 20052 Is it the same trouble?"
20052Is that what you call it, Philip?
20052Jack,called papa,"are there anymore of them to come?
20052Jack,he said,"will you sit with Felix for a while?
20052Jack,she said softly,"say our verse for the day, will you?"
20052May I put this at your back?
20052May I walk with you part way home?
20052Meet whom? 20052 No,_ really_?
20052No?
20052Oh, Fee,I said nervously,"do you suppose he is ill,--that anything is going to happen to him?
20052Oh, Jack, is everybody awfully mad? 20052 Oh, Phil,"she said, as soon as she saw him,"come right in here, wo n''t you?
20052Oh, papa,I pleaded,"_ why_ are you doing this?
20052Oh,_ wo n''t_ you go?
20052Phil,_ Phil_, are n''t you coming to bed? 20052 See here, what''s the matter with Felix?"
20052Shall I give your love?
20052Shall I tell her first?
20052Shall we go separately?
20052So that''s what you''re up to, is it?
20052Still here, Jack? 20052 Sure you feel all right, Master Felix?"
20052Talking about conceit,--where do you put yourself?
20052Tell me honestly, Jack,he said,"do you think that Phil cares as much for me as he used to,--I mean before that fellow Chad came?"
20052Tell us, what_ did_ he do, Jack?
20052Then where did the enjoyment come in?
20052They feel just as badly as I do about you, but we thought''twas best for one to speak for the three; and I being the eldest,--you understand?
20052Turn over,he said;"I want to talk to you,--d''you hear me?"
20052Well, he''s years older than they, is n''t he?
20052Well,he said breathlessly, taking a seat on the edge of the big table,"well, everything went off all right; quite a success, was n''t it?
20052Well? 20052 Wha-- what''s wrong?"
20052What are the stakes?
20052What are_ you_ doing down here?
20052What does the doctor say about him?
20052What has Mr. Erveng to do with my book?
20052What have you done?
20052What''d he do?
20052What''ll we do to- morrow evening?
20052What''re you staring at, I''d like to know?
20052What''s the matter?
20052What''s the_ matter_ with you?
20052What''ve I done?
20052Who do you think has been here to- day?
20052Who is taking my name in vain?
20052Who''s going to take care of father?
20052Who''s with you?
20052Who, me? 20052 Why did n''t you let me know sooner?
20052Why did n''t you say right out that you thought my dressing up and coming over to your house that way was very queer and unladylike?
20052Why do n''t you run away to the house?
20052Why do you want this-- why do you want me to live?
20052Why, are n''t you going to school-- I mean college?
20052Why, did n''t you hear him say last evening that he was going out of town for two or three days?
20052Why, do n''t you remember I took you almost up to your room the other night?
20052Why, you''re not ill, are you?
20052Why, you''ve been doing that for a long time, have n''t you?
20052Will Nora make us go to bed right away?
20052Yes,Helen said, with a smile,"he is quite unlike any of the boys we know; who_ does_ he look like, Nora?
20052Yes; but wo n''t it take an awfully long time at that rate to save enough to send Fee?
20052You here?
20052You look as sober as a judge; did n''t you enjoy yourself this evening?
20052You mean to say you enjoyed sitting on that lounge and seeing Miss Devereaux snub that unfortunate little woman in the hideous bonnet?
20052You think that''s very smart, do n''t you?
20052_ Glad?_echoed Fee,"_ glad?_ why, I''m--"His voice failed, and turning hurriedly from us, he buried his face in the sofa cushions.
20052_ Glad?_echoed Fee,"_ glad?_ why, I''m--"His voice failed, and turning hurriedly from us, he buried his face in the sofa cushions.
20052_ Poetry!_--d''ye mind that, Mr. Wegge? 20052 _ What_ did he do?"
20052_ Why?_ Because we love you!
20052All right?"
20052And I''ve come to ask you, for Phil, Felix, and myself, to let the hateful old book go, and just get well and strong again; will you?"
20052And Phil kept saying,"Oh, Jack, he''ll soon be better,--don''t you think so?
20052And even if it were so you could get to her, what do you suppose Nannie''d say when she found you had all_ run away from home_?"
20052And he said,''A- a- h, what d''you take me for?
20052And what excuse do you propose to offer Mr. Erveng when he makes his appearance here, as he will in a few minutes?"
20052And while this thought was going through my brain, I heard myself say,"Did you tell your mother what I said to you?"
20052And yet we were all_ very_,_ very_ glad and happy; queer, was n''t it?
20052And yet-- a week more of nights to come home as he did last night, and the night before that--_ought_ I to let that go on?
20052Are you coming or not, Felix?"
20052Are you hurt?
20052Are you ready?"
20052Are you, Fee?
20052Are you, like Nora, hankering after the unattainable in the shape of daily receptions?"
20052Before I had time to ring the bell, Nora opened the front door; she looked very much excited, and asked breathlessly,"Did you meet them?
20052Betty and Jack,_ are_ you going to bed, or not?
20052But Felix only said,"How''s father?
20052But he shook my hand again two or three times, saying impatiently,"Why do n''t you promise?
20052But who_ could_ she be,--this double of mine?
20052Ca n''t you find something for them to do, Nora?
20052Can you carry him up?
20052Come to notice, you do look rather white about the gills; do you feel ill, old fellow?"
20052Coming over later in the evening to the corner of the room where Helen, Fee, Jack and I were, she said to Helen,"Is n''t he nice?
20052D''you s''pose I knew''twas_ your_ brother?''
20052Dear mamma used to say that everybody had to have some responsibility or other; why not begin to take up yours now?
20052Did you see the expression of his face as he looked around our shabby old schoolroom, and took in the simple birthday refreshments?
20052Did you see the way he offered me his arm to the piano?
20052Do you suppose they are crazy?"
20052Dr. Archard was away, out of town, the sleepy boy who answered the bell told me; but Dr. Gordon, his assistant, was in,--would he do?
20052Erveng?"
20052Esmeralda Dorothea?
20052HAVE YOU HURT YOURSELF?''"]
20052Had I better just let things drift along as they are until we get in the country, and then speak to him?
20052Have you seen them?"
20052He asked, in a tone as if he meant it,"May n''t I bring you a cup of tea?"
20052Hilliard did not come in with us, and when Mr. Erveng found that neither Phil nor I would answer Hannah''s"Please, what name shall I say?"
20052I asked,"or shall I call"--I was going to say"Nannie or Phil,"but remembered they were helping papa, and ended up with"somebody?"
20052I flashed out scornfully,"are you_ afraid_ of a thunder storm?"
20052I hope you''re not hurt?"
20052I sat on the steps listening, and what d''you think?
20052I tell you what, Betty, I''m going to try to be a very,_ very_ good boy; now are n''t you glad for me?"
20052I was afraid there''d be a fuss, so I sung out quickly,"Why do n''t_ you_ do it, Betty?
20052I wondered if Hilliard had told his mother what I said; and what she thought of me?
20052I''m going to save it up until I get a lot, and then,--what d''you think?
20052I''ve always been a poor useless creature,--and now,_ now_, of what good am I in the world?
20052I?"
20052In a minute I was by his side, exclaiming,"Why, what''s the matter, Fee?"
20052Indeed I_ was_ glad, and I told him so; and then what do you think he said?
20052Is n''t it strange?
20052Is n''t that a splendid scheme?
20052It is n''t honourable to do those things,--don''t you know that?
20052It seems as if I were an awful cry- baby those days; but how could a person help it, with such dreadful things happening?
20052It was on the tip of my tongue to answer sharply,"I_ have_ fallen into the water; did you expect me to be dry?"
20052Just poke that history under my head, will you, Jack?
20052Kathie saw the likeness, too, for she pulled my elbow and whispered:"Oh, Jack, does n''t she look like Punch?
20052Like a flash, Nannie was beside me on the floor, crying,"Oh,_ Fee!_ are you hurt?"
20052May I count on your being kind to him?"
20052Mr. Erveng said, appearing in the doorway behind us;"will you young people come in and have some breakfast?"
20052My dear, is it your back again?"
20052Nannie is miles and_ miles_ away from here by the cars, and how''re children like you ever going to get to her without money or anything?
20052Now I''m sure you want to resume looking over that''Abbé Marité;''is n''t it quaint?
20052Of course-- for old times''sake-- I looked her up and called,--handsome house, is n''t it?
20052Oh, Felix, is n''t it_ splendid_?"
20052Oh, may n''t I?"
20052Oh, where_ am_ I to go?"
20052Oh, why, then, did He not give me a body to match?
20052Perhaps some of you would come over and see her?
20052Say, who''s_ she_?"
20052See?
20052See?"
20052Shall I run after him and_ make_ him come back?"
20052Shall we make the selection?
20052She said:"What''s wrong, Miss Elizabeth?"
20052She was so sorry to hear that I was not well; was there nothing that she could do for me?
20052So when I said,"Well, Jack, how''d you get along this morning?"
20052Stop your noise this minute,--do you hear me?"
20052That was the reason I wanted to go back to Chad''s that night,--was it_ only_ last night?
20052The boys do n''t know I''ve come,--I thought I''d surprise them; and so I will, with the good news: you''ll promise, wo n''t you, papa?"
20052The policemen may turn you out, and where will you all go_ then_?
20052Then all at once I thought of that day I found Felix lying on the floor,--could this be an attack like that, only worse?
20052Then he added abruptly,"_ Why_ did I do it?
20052Then he added to himself,"I wonder if any one else in the world has such children as I have?"
20052Then in the other hymn, where it says,"Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless?
20052Then presently, after Phil''d gone, he said:"Would you mind taking a seat over there in the window, Jack?
20052Then, without waiting for an answer, he sat down on the edge of the bed, and went on, in an excited tone of voice,"Did you hear about the_ pater_?
20052Well, let him; who cares?
20052What are_ you_ doing here, in that outrageous costume, and in a stranger''s house?
20052What can I do for you?"
20052What d''you mean by behaving like this?"
20052What d''you mean?"
20052What do you think, Nannie?"
20052What is the title of this''remarkable work''?"
20052What possessed you?
20052What shall we do to celebrate the occasion?
20052What would_ she_ say to do?"
20052What''d your pa say to such doin''s, an''Miss Marston?
20052What''re you blushing for?"
20052What''s the matter?"
20052What''s up?"
20052What''s up?"
20052Whatever made you do it?
20052Who else is to be a victim, Nancy?"
20052Who is it to be,--Phil?"
20052Why did n''t they ask_ you_?"
20052Why do n''t you do it, old fellow?"
20052Why do n''t you send Betty a few lines, Jack?
20052Why do n''t you speak to them, Nannie?"
20052Why so silent, most noble Felix?"
20052Why, what are you doing?"
20052Will you be kind enough to state your business as briefly as possible?"
20052Will you, Jackie- boy?"
20052Will you, dearie?"
20052Will you?
20052Without even a"how d''you do?"
20052Wo n''t you?
20052Would she send me home?
20052You do n''t feel any worse for our talk,--do you, father?"
20052You know nothing about cards; why do n''t you look on?"
20052You know this park''s all very well for the day- time; but when night comes, and it gets dark, what''ll you do?
20052You see,"he went on eagerly,"I''ve been praying for a way for Fee to go,--you have, too, have n''t you?
20052[ Illustration:"''FEE, DEAR,''SHE SAID IN AN UNDERTONE,''DON''T YOU FEEL WELL?
20052[ Illustration:"''OH,_ FEE!_ DID YOU FALL?
20052[ Illustration:"''WHY, YOU''VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A LONG TIME, HAVEN''T YOU?''
20052_ I_ thought he was rather a nice sort of fellow; what''s the matter, Betty, want any assistance?"
20052_ did_ you?"
20052_ do n''t_ you, Jack?
20052and what''ll they do to us?"
20052are n''t you glad?
20052are you, Fee?"
20052burn_ what_?"
20052cried Nora, wheeling round on me,"and Jack?
20052do you know why, Jack?
20052dost thou see them On the holy ground, How the powers of darkness Rage thy steps around?
20052exclaimed Phil, suddenly,"I say,--come to think of it,--how d''you suppose the_ Blackwoods_ enjoyed the orgy?"
20052have you hurt yourself?"
20052he exclaimed breathlessly,"what''s the matter?
20052he exclaimed in astonishment;"_ two_ here?
20052he gasped,"do you_ honestly_ think so?
20052how do you do, my dear?"
20052how is Fee?"
20052in bed?
20052is_ that_ so?"
20052now is n''t it?
20052nurse will be there in a minute,"adding impatiently to me:"What are you gaping at?
20052really quite well?"
20052really?"
20052she asked anxiously;"before we get any dinner?"
20052she exclaimed in astonishment,--adding, in a lower tone,"What''re you laughing at?"
20052so polite, and different from the generality of boys,--don''t you think so?"
20052we heard her say; then,"Have we time, Sanders?
20052what''s happened to you,--crazy?"
20052what_ have_ them boys been doin''?"
20052what_ is_ the matter?"
20052why''d you stop crying?
20052will you?"
20052you here?"
11470''Do you think we have been planted in this beautiful garden by mistake?'' 11470 ''Is that our fate?''
11470''What are you here for?'' 11470 ''Why did you tell us to wait?''
11470Ah, nurse,she said, in her bright, brisk way;"he is like a cat, is n''t he?
11470Am I a very selfish person, granny?
11470Am I going to die?
11470And I wonder which has the biggest soul?
11470And is it hard being a soldier? 11470 And is that a will?"
11470And what can a one- legged Bertram do?
11470And who gave Rob to you, old chap?
11470And who may ye be, a- wall climbin''and a breakin''over in folks''gardens to steal their fruit?
11470And who will walk in mine when I''m dead, granny?
11470And why have not two idle boys more time than a busy shopkeeper to do such a thing?
11470And will he be sent to fight very soon?
11470And wo n''t you like to come and live with me here?
11470Are n''t you awfully hungry? 11470 Are you a drunkard?"
11470Are you a fighter?
11470Are you a liar?
11470Are you going out this evening?
11470Are you very hurt? 11470 But I shall go too, sha n''t I, Aunt Judy?"
11470But most of the soldiers are n''t bad, are they?
11470But will it?
11470But, Aunt Judy, of course fighting is dreadful, but it is a soldier''s duty, is n''t it?
11470Can we make our souls big?
11470Can you lift yourself up, old Principle? 11470 Can you mend everything?"
11470Did he get killed?
11470Did the men stop swearing?
11470Do legs_ never_ grow again like teeth?
11470Do n''t you like Rob?
11470Do n''t you like him?
11470Do n''t you wish we could have a huge dust hole to empty all the nasty people and things in that we do n''t like?
11470Do you believe in-- in God?
11470Do you know Rob? 11470 Do you like it, David?"
11470Do you think he is dead?
11470Do you think he likes it?
11470Do you think he might be strong enough? 11470 Do you think we ought to teach him?"
11470Do you think your legs are broken like mine were?
11470Does that mean he is going to cut it off?
11470Dudley, are you asleep?
11470Dudley, do you know what a will is?
11470Dudley, we''ll always keep friends, wo n''t we?
11470From Rob?
11470Good- afternoon, Mrs. Cullen, how''s your husband to- day?
11470Good- bye, Roy, ask to see me again, wo n''t you?
11470Granny, if a person you like will do anything you like, ought you to make that person do what you like instead of what they like?
11470Has he been wounded? 11470 Has he learned to read while I have been ill?"
11470Has the hedge grown since our fathers were little boys?
11470Have you been a naughty boy, Rob, and has old Hal been thrashing you? 11470 Have you ever been lost, Aunt Judy?"
11470Have you ever killed anybody?
11470He is an opportunity, and a pretty big one, is n''t he?
11470He is busy in a cave now,said Dudley, eagerly;"would you like to come and see it one day?"
11470He wanted to go first, and you did n''t like it, do n''t you remember?
11470How are they going to cure me?
11470How can we follow somebody we ca n''t see?
11470How did it happen?
11470How did you find us? 11470 How shall we get in?"
11470How?
11470Hulloo, you fellow,shouted Dudley in his shrill boyish treble;"where do you come from?
11470I say--he gasped at last;"do you think-- I''m going to die-- this time?"
11470I say, Roy,Dudley asked, very cautiously;"do n''t you feel very funny without it?"
11470I shall have a lot of friends to stay with me, of course, and then I shall marry; men always do that, do n''t they?
11470I wish,said Roy, reflectively,"that this cave was nearer home; it would be so lovely to come out whenever we wanted to, would n''t it, Dudley?
11470I''m going to try and be very patient and not be cross once, for you''re our opportunity, or one of them, is n''t he, Dudley?
11470I''m so sorry, old chap,he said, nervously;"do you feel really better?
11470I''m very sorry, but do tell me if I died before I grew up, would Dudley have my house?
11470I''ve always thought it would be very exciting to be lost,Roy said with a sigh;"but it does n''t seem very nice, does it?
11470I''ve only made six mistakes and three blots,he said;"now may I drop the sealing wax over it?
11470In the battle,''mid the rattle, and the deadly hail of lead, The two were in their glory-- What did they know of dread? 11470 Is it Master Roy?"
11470Is it straight on?
11470Is little Master Roy there?
11470Is that all?
11470Is that all?
11470Is that the lad that brought you back? 11470 Is that the stream at the bottom of the back meadow?"
11470Is that what makes a good soldier?
11470It''s an opportunity, is n''t it, Dudley? 11470 John, it''s the most extraordinary thing-- oh, you are not here!--Where is Mr. Selby?
11470Master Dudley, is it true, is he going to lose his legs?
11470May I come in, granny?
11470No,was the sleepy answer,"are n''t you well?"
11470Now then, you rascals, what are you doing to my donkey? 11470 Now will you tell us the very bravest thing that you ever saw any soldier do?"
11470Now, Aunt Judy, you would n''t have liked me not to have got out to that baby?
11470Now, laddie, do n''t harden your heart, are you one of the Lord''s own children?
11470Nurse,said Dudley that night as he was creeping into bed under her charge;"is Roy going to die?"
11470Of course I do; what do you mean? 11470 Oh, nurse, he''s very bad, is n''t he?
11470Oh, that''s the last idea, is it? 11470 Old Principle, do you think we ought to make opportunities?"
11470P''raps you do n''t know about Jesus Christ?
11470Please, can I speak to you on business, Master Roy?
11470Regular little heroes, were n''t they?
11470Shall I sing you something more cheerful?
11470Shall I tell you a little story while we are waiting for tea?
11470She ca n''t be lost; when did you have her last?
11470Sit down, Fitz Roy; you are getting a big boy; have you been measured this morning?
11470Sleep? 11470 Supposing if he does, and gets killed?"
11470That''s a much nicer letter, is n''t it?
11470Then there is hope I may do something,said Roy, brightening up;"I like that story about the walnuts, do n''t you, Dudley?"
11470Then where were you going to sleep to- night?
11470We have done him good already, have n''t we?
11470We''re lost,shouted Dudley;"who are you?
11470Well, I suppose they have been sailors?
11470Well, old Principle, how are you?
11470Well, what are you doing?
11470What are you going to do, Rob?
11470What do you mean?
11470What do you think of my house, Rob?
11470What have you been doing with yourselves? 11470 What is Rob going to do?"
11470What is a philanthropist?
11470What was it about?
11470What''s the matter, Roger?
11470When shall we have a letter from him?
11470Where did you find it?
11470Where do you live? 11470 Where do you live?"
11470Where from?
11470Who is Rob?
11470Who is she?
11470Who? 11470 Why do you write you''re my friend?"
11470Why not?
11470Would He forgive me, and help me?
11470Would you rather see him die in lingering pain?
11470Yes, please; we love a good rattling story; and make plenty of adventures in it, wo n''t you?
11470Yes, what about it?
11470Yes, what did you do with it?
11470Yes,Dudley struck in:"you seem rather down, do you want anything that we can give you?"
11470You are not going to die, Roy?
11470You going to keep him back? 11470 You said a long time ago you could mend anything but broken hearts, but you ca n''t mend broken legs, can you?
11470You think I''m like the dog in the manger? 11470 You''re going to get well, old chap, are n''t you?
11470''Comrades,''he cried;''would any of you allow your mother to be called evil names in the barrack- room?''
11470And are you lads still devoted friends?"
11470And how does he look in his clothes?"
11470And is he really going?
11470And what''s your name?"
11470And where do you sleep?
11470And who else has been benefited by your good deeds?"
11470Are you a thief?"
11470Are you afraid?"
11470Are you glad?"
11470Are you hurt?
11470Are you there?"
11470Are your legs broken?"
11470But I suppose you can learn, ca n''t you?"
11470But we have helped to send you out to India to do it, Rob, so you wo n''t fail us, will you?
11470But you did like saving a drowning fellow, did n''t you?"
11470Ca n''t you think of him marching up to the enemy?"
11470Can you tell me if it is far to fall?"
11470Can you tell us where Crockton village is?"
11470Could n''t I help you to roll over on your back, would n''t that be better?"
11470Could you give him one of mine?
11470Could you have put yourself in front of the sergeant, Dudley?"
11470Could you teach him one day, and me the next?
11470Did I make him go?"
11470Did I send Rob to his death?
11470Did you find Dudley very much heavier to carry than me?"
11470Did you hear us shouting?"
11470Did you tie up your feet like that yourself?"
11470Do n''t you feel easier?"
11470Do n''t you know much about God, Rob?"
11470Do n''t you know who we are?
11470Do n''t you long for something of that sort, eh?"
11470Do n''t you think that''s a nice idea?"
11470Do n''t you think we''d better be going in?"
11470Do n''t you?"
11470Do they let soldiers shoot rabbits on their half- holidays?
11470Do you find broken bottles a soft cushion?"
11470Do you not remember that I like you to come to me every afternoon about this hour?"
11470Do you remember the picture gallery at the general''s the other day, Dudley?"
11470Do you ride on a horse, and can you fire off the cannon?
11470Do you see the outline of the fish?
11470Do you think I''m a very poor body to look at, Rob?
11470Do you think an opportunity is the same as an adventure?
11470Do you think as how I could do it too?"
11470Do you think that will do?"
11470Does the band play while you are at dinner?
11470Does the newspaper mention his name, Aunt Judy?"
11470Dudley read the desired bit, and then with a deep drawn breath Roy said:"He acted out the song of the drummer boys, did n''t he?
11470Dudley subsided at once; then after a silence he asked meekly,"Is that enough?"
11470Dudley was silent for a minute, then he asked, solemnly,"And where is it, nurse?"
11470Dudley, you just go and fetch him in, will you?"
11470Have you been in many scrapes lately?"
11470Have you been skylarking on the top of the greenhouse, and smashed through on Hal''s pate?"
11470Have you brought me any message from your aunt?"
11470Have you got a gun of your own?
11470Have you got a sword and a medal?
11470Have you made a choice of any profession yet, either of you?"
11470He is well again, is n''t he?"
11470He is what you call a discoverer, is n''t he?"
11470How did you learn?"
11470How do you think you two atoms could have got the better of a man like that?
11470How is your friend old Principle?
11470How is your grandmother?
11470How many masters have you got?
11470How many soldiers are there in the same house with you?
11470I am going to the cave again-- will you come with me?"
11470I do n''t think you have adventures of doing good, do you?"
11470I like to think that Dudley may have it, he would make a grander master than me, would n''t he?"
11470I never shall be much of a fellow, I know; but even with my cork leg I can do a good deal, ca n''t I?"
11470I said''Are you comfortable, corporal?''
11470I say, do you think we could teach Rob cricket?"
11470I suppose I would rather Rob was properly brave like that, than do great things in battle; but I should think he might do both, do n''t you think so?"
11470I think I could stand fire like that, could n''t you?"
11470I think I would rather die first, would n''t you?"
11470I wish I could get you some water, but there''s none here, is there?"
11470I''ve had a fall, have n''t I, Ben?"
11470IV AN AWKWARD VISIT"And how do you know a river has been here?"
11470Is he going to die?
11470Is he still unearthing wonders and keeping them in his kettles?"
11470Is it not a greater honor to help to save a soul from destruction, than bring glory to yourself by some feat of physical strength or skill?
11470Is n''t that him walking along over there?
11470Is n''t there enough room for me to get in, Dudley?"
11470Is there anything else we can do for you?"
11470It''s an opportunity, is n''t it?"
11470It''s rather difficult to explain, but God punished Him_ instead_ of us, do you see?
11470Now shall we go on with the reading?"
11470Now tell me, are you really and truly happy?"
11470Now tell me, could you do it?
11470Now then, you do n''t mind my asking you a few questions, do you?
11470Now what comfort can you find, may I ask, in such a blazing breakneck seat?
11470Oh, dear, what can I do?
11470Quite a Little Party of Friends to See Him Off Old Principle Laughed at Dudley''s Notion"Now Then, You Rascals, What Are You Doing to My Donkey?"
11470Roy did not speak for a minute, then he said, slowly,"You remember my will that I made when I was so ill?"
11470Roy lay back on his pillows to consider this; then he said in a tired voice:"Will you write what I want?"
11470Roy nodded, then asked anxiously:"Dudley, were you rude to granny before you went out?
11470Roy spoke scornfully, but his aunt shook her head at him:"Do you know this is the room I love best in the house?
11470Said the Colonel,''How can babies of battle bear the brunt?''
11470Selby?"
11470Shall we try again?
11470Tell me, was it my fault?
11470That is n''t very bad, is it?"
11470That would be following him though he was dead, would n''t it?"
11470Then after a pause--"I suppose he''ll be glad to see us?"
11470There now, ai n''t that better?"
11470They feel very heavy, and our stems ache with holding them up; do you think it just possible there may be something inside?''
11470They had been talking about Rob, when Roy said wistfully,"Rob used his opportunity when he got it, did n''t he?
11470They never rode through a wood without having an adventure, and it was always doing good, was n''t it, granny?"
11470They shut them up in it to talk, do n''t they, Aunt Judy?"
11470We ca n''t get a word out of him; is there going to be any fighting?
11470What are you doing?"
11470What are your clothes like, and what are you to be called, now you''re a soldier?
11470What did she mean?
11470What do you have to eat?
11470What do you think?"
11470What have you been talking about?
11470What is drill?
11470What is the use of trying to grow?
11470What mischief have you been up to?"
11470What shall we do?
11470What would you have done if I had n''t jumped in to save you?"
11470What''s the good of being a soldier if you do n''t have any battles?"
11470What?
11470When do you begin to fight?
11470When shall we see you again?"
11470When will you be a sergeant, and is there any fighting coming off soon?
11470Where are you?"
11470Where have you been?
11470Where?"
11470Which do you?"
11470Which is the elder?
11470Why did she look so funny?"
11470Wo n''t they make Rob see how he ought to write?"
11470Would you like that?"
11470XI A GIFT TO THE QUEEN"Can I see Master Roy, please?"
11470You never guessed, did you?
11470You will come with me, wo n''t you?"
11470You wo n''t send me away, will you?"
11470You would like to be free from it, would n''t you?"
11470[ Illustration:"''Now then, you rascals, what are you doing to my donkey?''"]
11470and oh, General Newton, is n''t that the Victoria Cross on his coat?"
11470asked Dudley, eagerly;"the one with the hedge in front?"
11470asked Rob;"are you quite sure He would care to have me for a servant?"
11470asked Roy, anxiously;"do you like being a soldier?"
11470asked Roy, eagerly, after their first greetings had been exchanged;"you are n''t going home again?"
11470asked Roy;"why are you muttering away and shaking your head so?"
11470laughed the sparrows;''who ever heard of the inside being better than the outside?
11470questioned Roy, flushing up with eagerness;"do you think it will?
4296Where be''est going?
4296''Ai n''t I to have no supper?''
4296''Alfred,''said Ellen,''do you know where Harold is?
4296''All what?''
4296''And before that?''
4296''And can nothing be done, Sir, when he feels so sinking and weak?''
4296''And does that make you glad?''
4296''And he seems to be the chief sufferer.--Are you in much pain, Paul?''
4296''And how did he teach you?''
4296''And may I think that all my faults will be taken away and forgiven?''
4296''And what did he say to that boy?''
4296''And what did he say?''
4296''And what good will that be to- night?''
4296''And when he was not?''
4296''And where did you say--?''
4296''And where''s the grub?''
4296''And who is the boy that came to help you?''
4296''And you did n''t see which way he was gone?''
4296''And you do not grieve over your year of illness?''
4296''And you have not sent him to the workhouse yet?''
4296''Ay?
4296''But did she say so?''
4296''But does it mean me?''
4296''But how ought I to believe, Sir?''
4296''But if I ca n''t do anything to make up for them, what''s the use?
4296''But is n''t it punishment?''
4296''But of this?''
4296''But where did he come from?''
4296''But where-- which way is he gone?''
4296''But who taught him about Cayenne?''
4296''But why do you think he would be?''
4296''But you do n''t think I shall get well, Mother?''
4296''D''ye know where Paul Blackthorn is?''
4296''D''ye think I''d care for stuff like that?''
4296''Did I?''
4296''Did Miss Selby give you those flowers?''
4296''Did he say so, Mother?''
4296''Did n''t the inspector want you to go to a training- school?''
4296''Did they ever know who he belonged to?''
4296''Did you ever make out a bill?''
4296''Did you like it?''
4296''Did you never think it hard to be kept strictly, and punished by your good mother?''
4296''Did you wish it?''
4296''Do you know he slept all night on a hay- cock?''
4296''Do you know if many of the boys are gone to the merry orchard?''
4296''Do you know who the fellow was?''
4296''Do you remember when we used to bathe together, Harold, and go after the minnows?''
4296''Do you think you can keep the ticket safe if I give it you now, Paul?''
4296''Does he think he shall get well?''
4296''Eh?''
4296''Every one is sinful,''said Alfred slowly;''but why have some more to bear than others that may be much worse?''
4296''Have they?
4296''Have you not seen him since?
4296''Have you seen my boy Harold?''
4296''Here, Nelly,''as she moved about, tidying the room,''do you hear?
4296''How can you, Alfred, speak so to Mother?''
4296''How has he ever got the dog up the ladder?''
4296''How is he, Paul?''
4296''How long ago was this?''
4296''How shall I, Sir?''
4296''How should I know?''
4296''However did you do it?''
4296''I say, Harold, do n''t ye never put one of they letters in your pocket?''
4296''I say, would n''t you like to be one of they chaps at Ragglesford School?''
4296''Is Harold come safe?''
4296''Is it-- is it very dreadful?''
4296''Is not he come home?''
4296''Is that another new parson?''
4296''Is that boy gone?''
4296''Is that he upon the bridge-- that chap about the size of our Harold?''
4296''Is the ointment come?''
4296''Is the pain so very bad?''
4296''It is nothing infectious, of course, Sir?''
4296''May I go up?''
4296''Mother, Mother,''Alfred cried in a whisper, so eager that it made him cough,''you ca n''t never send him to the workhouse?''
4296''No, Mother; but if it ai n''t here long?
4296''No,''he said, beginning to get sulky because he felt he was wrong;''only Peggy lost a shoe--''''Lame?''
4296''Nobody got at the horses?''
4296''Not all for me?''
4296''O Mother, must you speak the truth?''
4296''O mother, what do you think?
4296''Oh, did n''t you hear?
4296''Oh, will you tell Grandmamma?''
4296''So you have this youth here?''
4296''That''s to settle for me, then,''he said; and Harold who was at tea, asking,''What''s that?''
4296''The Reverend-- what''s his name?
4296''The lad?''
4296''The place is n''t to be harbouring thieves and vagrants, or who''s to pay the rates?
4296''Then she did n''t think I''d taken the eggs?''
4296''Then what did you bring all that good- for- nothing set roaring and shouting up the road for?
4296''Then what''s all this?
4296''Then you do n''t think he is getting any better, Sir?''
4296''Then you think this poor lad will be ill a long time, Sir?''
4296''Then you ventured to wait?''
4296''Then you wo n''t?''
4296''There, wo n''t you be raised up to see her?
4296''Upon your word and honour?''
4296''Was he there?''
4296''Was it pain that kept you awake?''
4296''Well, Alfred, how are you to- day?''
4296''Well, Paul, then he is not worse?''
4296''Well, and what you do think now you''ve tried your liberty?''
4296''Well, but am I?''
4296''Well, old chaps, have you quarrelled yet?
4296''Well, what are you doing here?''
4296''Well, what is become of them?''
4296''Well,''he said,''and what wilt get by it?''
4296''What are you gaping at?''
4296''What did you say?''
4296''What do you mean, Mother?''
4296''What do you say, Harold?''
4296''What do you see, Mother?''
4296''What is he, then?
4296''What is it?
4296''What was the chaplain''s name?''
4296''What, Alfy dear?
4296''What, Mrs. King?
4296''What, and turned him off?''
4296''What, is he asleep?''
4296''What, quarrelling here?
4296''What, the dirty boy?
4296''What?
4296''What?''
4296''Who taught you all this, Paul?''
4296''Who told you I was with bad company?''
4296''Who told you to put in your word, John Farden?''
4296''Who''s there?
4296''Who?
4296''Who?
4296''Who?''
4296''Why did n''t you bring him up with you?''
4296''Why did n''t you lick him?''
4296''Why did you never let me know how you were treated?''
4296''Why do n''t thee cut?''
4296''Why, did not we tell you what a real beautiful sermon the new clergyman preached on Sunday?
4296''Why, do n''t we all know that you''re one of the parson''s own sort?
4296''Why, how do you know?''
4296''Why, old chap, what is it?
4296''Why, what harm is there in eating a few cherries?''
4296''Why, what would he do to her?
4296''Why, what''ll they do to ye?''
4296''Why, what''s put that in your head?''
4296''Why, what''s the matter now?''
4296''Would you take that?''
4296''Yes,''said Harold,''I''d better have told him of that when I was about it; do n''t you think so, Nelly?''
4296''You are quite sure it is not so?''
4296''You going away, Paul?''
4296''You''ll have him too ill to be moved; and then what will you do?
4296''You''ve not sent Harold off for the cart?''
4296''You, going to cut?''
4296''Your lass would n''t like to come too, I suppose, eh?''
4296Alfred answered rather fretfully,''But if it is good to be punished, why ai n''t all alike?''
4296Alfred smiled, and said,''Please, Sir, how old is he?''
4296Am I interrupting--?''
4296And Harold, he is but fourteen-- would he be old enough, Sir?''
4296And if he shot away his half- pence, how should he pay for the shoeing of the pony?
4296And if you could make him look a little more decent?''
4296And the time?
4296And was this his resolution?
4296And what did you say you were to be, Paul?''
4296And what made you so taken up with that new boy that Ellen runs on against, and will have it he''s a convict?''
4296And what''s your name?''
4296And where was Harold?
4296Betsey Hardman?
4296But how did my Lady come to hear of it?''
4296But how ever did he know?''
4296But how long might this life be?
4296But what could she say?
4296But what did Ellen mean?''
4296But what did you say about some eggs?''
4296But what made you go off without a word to nobody?''
4296But who''s that?''
4296CHAPTER VI-- THE MERRY ORCHARD Where was Harold?
4296Can you tell me what books you used to read to this master?''
4296Cope promised me?''
4296Cope pushed it towards him, and said,''Well, will you mind letting me see how you can write from dictation?''
4296Cope repeated,''Eh, Paul?''
4296Cope will know him?''
4296Cope''s doing, or my Lady''s?''
4296Cope''s droll way of putting it,''I never meant--''''Well, but what were you thinking of?''
4296Cope''s got an offer of a place for Paul-- five pounds a year, and board and lodging, to be school- master''s whipper- in, or what d''ye call it?''
4296Cope-- were you there?
4296Could Jem think he had been a wicked boy, and take it as punishment?
4296Dear dear Alf, is it anything dreadful?''
4296Did he make anything out of him?''
4296Did n''t he go to church with you?''
4296Did they disturb the pony?
4296Did you ever see such a figure?
4296Do not these cases often partially recover?''
4296Do you leave him quite alone?
4296Does Mother keep you too short?''
4296Eh?''
4296Go on now, Harold; what about the boy?''
4296Harold made a very queer face, and said,''How is he to do it up in the hay- loft, Mother?
4296Has he been begging?''
4296Has the doctor been?''
4296Have you been jolly together?
4296Have you finished the last?''
4296Have you got knit up with cold, sitting here?''
4296He did once take courage to say to Harold,''Did your sister really say I had run away from gaol?''
4296He heard all, but he chose to seem to be asleep, and, would you believe it?
4296He is merciful, do n''t you know?''
4296He is not gone, is he?''
4296He seemed to have a great mind not to hear, and turned very slowly with his shoulder towards her, making a sound like''Eh?''
4296How d''ye know?''
4296How did you come to think of it?''
4296How did you manage that, Paul?''
4296I hope his majesty does not like bad company?''
4296I see him under that shed, and who is that lad with him?
4296If he should be worse, will you send this to Mr. Carter, at Ragglesford?
4296Is Charlie Hayward there?
4296Is he so very fractious, then?''
4296Is it the other monarch''s charge?''
4296Is n''t that the way you may be to follow Him?''
4296Is that it?''
4296Moreover, whither did that path of suffering lead?
4296Mother, what are you thinking of?''
4296Mr. Blunt, however, came, and at any rate he would have it out with him; so he asked at once very straightforwardly,''Am I going to die, Sir?''
4296Mrs. King felt sorrowful; but, as Ellen said,''What could you expect of him?''
4296My eggs are gone, I tell you, and who should take''em but that lad, I''d like to know?''
4296Nay, had He not raised him up friends already in his utmost need?
4296Now, do you know what they are?''
4296Oh dear, would the night never be over?
4296Old pony tumbled down dead?''
4296Peter?''
4296Please, Sir, when I''m gone away, will you tell them all that I''ll never forget''em?
4296She asked Harold about it, and had for answer,''Do you think he would, after the way you served him?''
4296She would have shrieked for her mother, but he held out his hand, and said, in a low hoarse whisper,''Ellen, is it true?''
4296Sure he is not gone to the merry orchard?''
4296That would just have made it up, but what hopes were there of that?
4296Was it Harold?
4296Was it because he had such an affliction?''
4296Was it brotherly love?
4296Was it the taking up the cross so as to bear it like his Saviour, Who spoke no word of complaining, no murmur against His tormentors?
4296Was not He touched with a fellow- feeling for the lonely boy?
4296Was she coming?
4296Was this patience?
4296Was this the shewing the sincerity of his repentance through his conduct in illness?
4296Well, and ca n''t you stop a minute to say how your poor brother is?''
4296Well, and do you know where this place was?''
4296Well, and how are the bones, Paul?
4296Well, and then may n''t yours be being plagued and bullied, without any friends?
4296What business had every one to set up that great hoarse laugh?
4296What could he have been thinking about?
4296What did they say?
4296What do you think of it, Paul?''
4296What is the matter?''
4296What was his mother saying?
4296What was that she had heard?
4296What will become of me?''
4296What would become of Mother and me?''
4296What would they say at the post- office?
4296What''s the row?
4296Whatever does he want?''
4296Where does he come from?''
4296Which part of England?''
4296Which was nearest being right?
4296Who could have said it?
4296Who did you leave her with?''
4296Who is he, Ellen?''
4296Who said it?
4296Who was ever a good boy if you was not?''
4296Who was he?''
4296Who would have thought, that not six months ago that poor cripple was the merriest and most active boy in the parish?
4296Whom is he helping over the stile?
4296Why did n''t you?''
4296Why do n''t you get some of them boxes of pills, that does cures wonderful?
4296Why do you wish to know?
4296Why had not he asked?
4296Why, Mrs. King, what have I said?
4296Why, what''s the matter?''
4296Will he beg of him?''
4296Wo n''t you?''
4296Would He not help him to bear his friendless lot as a share of His own Cross?
4296You said nothing of Alfred; do you think he will not be well enough?''
4296You''ll be one with me then, Paul?''
4296and she was going to lift him up, but he only murmured a cross''Ca n''t you be quiet?''
4296and so they keep him for a school- master?''
4296are you worse?''
4296cried Alfred, raising himself and panting;''and where did he go first?''
4296cried Ellen eagerly,''is anything the matter?''
4296cried the farmer, turning on Paul angrily;''d''ye mean to waste any more of the day?''
4296does the doctor think so ill of him?
4296exclaimed Alfred, in dismay;''you wo n''t let her come up here, Mother?''
4296how should I know?''
4296not since I''ve been at Friarswood?''
4296or ha''n''t you got the money?
4296said Alfred;''do n''t you know how the Psalm says,"God careth for the stranger, and provideth for the fatherless and the widow"?''
4296said Ellen, who was busy shaking her mother''s bed, and had not heard at the first moment, but now turned eagerly;''what did you say his name was?''
4296said Harold--''an old skinflint like Farmer Shepherd''s old woman?''
4296said John,''what good''ll that do ye?''
4296said Paul,''what do you want of me?''
4296was it not crossing him how impossible it would seem to do anything to vex one who so cared for him?
4296what could he do to her, with all the hay- field and Farmer Shepherd there to take care of her?
4296what is that?''
4296what shall I do?''
4296what would she not have given for power to listen to her mother, and cry at her ease?
52782''Hello,''says I,''when did you git in? 52782 About what matter?"
52782Ah, you''re finding our boy out, eh?
52782Ai n''t you going for to make some sorter effort to git your hosses out of the field?
52782Ai n''t you got no sense? 52782 All the way through the dark for that?
52782And so this is Mr. Simmons, the famous negro hunter?
52782And so you did n''t catch him; and your fine dogs are finer now than they ever were?
52782And then what?
52782And what was you doing all that time?
52782And what wonderful person will do this for you, my boy?
52782And when are you going home to your master?
52782Are you still in the woods, Aaron?
52782But if we find them, Son of Ben Ali?
52782But what was the nigger doing at your place?
52782But, Colonel, if he''s that, what do you want him caught for?
52782But, Colonel,drawled Mr. Simmons,"what under the sun ever got the idee in your head that Addison Abercrombie_ is_ harboring your nigger?"
52782But, Colonel,remonstrated Mr. Jim Simmons,"did n''t you send for me?
52782By what means did you know that the horse had been left without food and water?
52782Can you pass them here?
52782Can you walk, Master?
52782Dat ar Aaron had um atter''i m, an''what''d he do?
52782Den how come I ca n''t fool dem ar dogs?
52782Did I say that? 52782 Did anybody cross from the other side this morning?"
52782Did he go into the cabins?
52782Did n''t you hear him when he butted me?
52782Did you fellows see It?
52782Did you notice,said the young man who was first to see the apparition,"that the Thing that was riding the Thing had no head?"
52782Do n''t he open on track?
52782Do n''t you know dey done foun''out whar you stays at? 52782 Do n''t you know what a runaway is?
52782Do you think you''d''a''caught him, Colonel, taking into account all the circumstances and things?
52782Ear- marks? 52782 Got who?"
52782Have you ever paid Abercrombie?
52782Have you ever visited that country?
52782Have you seen a pistol lying loose anywhere around here?
52782Here?
52782Honey, ai n''t it de trufe?
52782How came it so red, den?
52782How come any chil''out dis time er night?
52782How come, I like ter know?
52782How come? 52782 How come?"
52782How long have you been standing here?
52782How you know?
52782Hurt much, Master?
52782I charged you interest, did n''t I, Simmons?
52782I did n''t say I was going to catch him, did I?
52782I did n''t say he could n''t get away from my dogs, did I?
52782I''d git de meat-- but dey mout ketch''i m, an''den what''d I look like?
52782If they were after the runaway, what on earth did he mean by going in this direction?
52782Is anybody ever hear de beat er dat? 52782 Is dat Aaron?"
52782Is that Sound?
52782Is that so?
52782Is that so?
52782Is that so?
52782Jim Simmons? 52782 Jimmy, you did n''t go and apologize to that old buzzard for what I said, did you?"
52782Kin you handle dish yer paddle? 52782 Man, ai n''t you tired?"
52782Man, what you think?
52782May I ask the old man there a few questions?
52782Me? 52782 Me?
52782Me?
52782Mine? 52782 Nothing?"
52782Of course they are-- how can they help themselves?
52782Of course you believed in the country next door to the world?
52782Oh, have you been admitted to the sanctum?
52782On what bank, Gossett?
52782Only three, Son of Ben Ali? 52782 Shall I go too?"
52782Shall I have Timoleon put in the new stable to- night?
52782Shall I ride him down, Son of Ben Ali?
52782Shall I use a club on you, White Grunter? 52782 Sho nuff?"
52782Suh?
52782Supposing you had,suggested Mr. Simmons,"would you''a''done it?
52782That you, Terrell?
52782The child with the crutches?
52782The missing boat? 52782 Then that''s the reason you think Abercrombie ai n''t harboring my nigger?"
52782Up or down?
52782Was a bateau missing from this side this morning?
52782Was anybody with you in the bateau when you went down the river this morning?
52782Was he in that one?
52782Well?
52782Were the bloodhounds after him?
52782Were you hunting the runaway?
52782Whar yo''huffs? 52782 What Aaron done done?"
52782What are the ear- marks, ma''am?
52782What are you crying about?
52782What dat?
52782What dey doin''out dar?
52782What did you find?
52782What did you see? 52782 What do I think?
52782What do you see in the man?
52782What do you suppose the trouble was?
52782What do you think now?
52782What has this great man ever done for you, Simmons?
52782What horse?
52782What is the noise about, Lucy?
52782What is your name?
52782What kind er folks is you?
52782What two things, Colonel?
52782What was that dog barking at just now?
52782What was the trouble, Randall?
52782What were they talking about?
52782What wid?
52782What yo''name?
52782What you doin''?
52782What you gwine ter do?
52782What you gwine ter lan''on the same side wid Jim Simmons fer?
52782What''s that?
52782What''s that?
52782What''s what?
52782What''s your name?
52782When was that?
52782Where did the voice come from?
52782Where is this country that is next door to the world?
52782Where is your runaway? 52782 Where''s my pistol?"
52782Where''s the ford?
52782Whereabouts is that country?
52782Which way did It go?
52782Which way did he go, Uncle Jake?
52782White er blue?
52782Who are you?
52782Who carried the bateau over the shoals this morning?
52782Who is you? 52782 Who lives there?"
52782Who said anything about fire? 52782 Who was it?"
52782Who was with you in the bateau?
52782Who''s behind you?
52782Who? 52782 Who?"
52782Why did you come?
52782Why, confound it, do n''t you know this horse is as wild as a buck? 52782 Whyn''t you go in an''see whether Aaron was in there?"
52782Would you teach me?
52782Wuz you, sho nuff?
52782Yes, ai n''t that Gossett?
52782Yes, where?
52782You are still anxious to punish the poor man who was hurt by the horse?
52782You gwine dar to Gossett''s? 52782 You know that new school teacher at Abercrombie''s?"
52782You wish what?
52782You''ve saved your$ 30, hain''t you?
52782You? 52782 Your runaway?
52782A runaway sitting by his side and driving a fractious and easily frightened horse without bit or bridle?
52782A''on gwine in dar en put dat ar hoss up?
52782Ai n''t you coming?
52782Am I a horse to be ridden?
52782An''whar de lines?
52782And more than that: do n''t I know from my own niggers that the yaller rapscallion comes here every chance he gets?
52782And the reply was,"Well, why not?"
52782And was it truly true that he had ever worn a shoe as small as that?
52782And who''s going to hurt me, pap?"
52782And why did Susy''s Sam hang back and want to turn his mule around before he had finished the furrow?
52782And why should he come whirling back at dusk,--a red cloud of dust rising beneath the Gray Pony''s feet?
52782Are you fixing to have me killed?
52782But did Aaron have the same power over his own master?
52782But what difference did that make?
52782But what is it to be touched?
52782But where?
52782Ca n''t you put him in his stable?"
52782Ca n''t you talk?
52782Could it be that by some noiseless shifting of the scenery he was even now in the country next door to the world?
52782De speckled pullet hollered shoo ter hawk, but what good did dat do?"
52782Did he know the paths?
52782Did n''t Aaron belong to Chunky Riley''s master?
52782Did n''t he double and turn and go back the way he came, to be caught and killed on dry land?
52782Did n''t he have the Simmons nigger- dogs after him that very day?
52782Did n''t his master try to catch him?
52782Did n''t the Colonel send one of his nigger women to the quarters on the Abercrombie plantation?
52782Did n''t the woman say she had seen the runaway?
52782Did n''t you buy him and pay your money down for him?
52782Did n''t you say,''Glad to see you, Simmons; walk right in and make yourself at home''?
52782Do n''t you know dey er gwine ter hunt you in de mornin''?
52782Do n''t you know dey got de dogs dar?
52782Do n''t you know he''ll ketch you ef you do dat?
52782Do n''t you know some er de niggers''ll see you-- an''maybe de overseer?
52782Do n''t you know you ca n''t git away fum dem dogs fer ter save yo''life?"
52782Do n''t you reckon you could tell when anybody was trying to insult you?
52782Do n''t you think it''s cunning?"
52782Do n''t you want him out of the woods?
52782Do n''t you want ter b''long ter Sally Ward?"
52782Do you blame me, Colonel?"
52782Do you keep him in a box and permit only your best friends to peep at him occasionally?"
52782Ear- marks?
52782Ef I squeeze too tight, des say de word;"and then,"Whar we gwine, honey?
52782Fer catching the nigger?
52782Fullalove?"
52782Git him out, did I say?
52782Had he seen the horses?
52782Has he escaped?"
52782Have stray dogs crept under the door?
52782He felt that he and his father had been wronged by some one, he could n''t say who, but not by the runaway, for what was a"nigger,"anyhow?
52782He jumped as if he had heard the report of a gun, and cried out in a tone of alarm:--"Who flung dat rock?
52782He knew by the scent of the cigar that the voices he heard belonged to white men: but who were they?
52782Him harbor niggers?
52782Hit''s some trouble ter git de corn off''n de cob, but spozen dey want no corn on de cob, what den?"
52782How am I to do it?"
52782How come dey ai n''t no niggers but de Gossett niggers in de woods?
52782How come you got ter go up de river?"
52782How come you ter know''bout de missin''boat?"
52782How could this be?
52782How did Aaron know that the horse had gone without water and food?
52782How did he know?
52782How did the Swamp know?
52782I tried to make the hoss stand, but he would n''t, and, just then, what should I see but two great big wildcats trying to sneak up on me?
52782I wonder if he''s taken up over here?
52782I''m so small, and-- and so crippled, you know, nobody would ever think I had a runaway?"
52782If Aaron really had any influence over his own master, why did n''t he stay at home instead of going into the woods?
52782If it was too late for him to learn the language of the animals, how could he hope to interpret the prophecies of the constellations?
52782If we find them, shall I use my teeth?"
52782Is anybody ever see de beat er dat?
52782Is that it?"
52782Is we dat close?"
52782Jimmy do n''t owe you nothin'', does he?"
52782Man, who is you?"
52782Marster, how in de name er goodness kin you drive dish yer hoss widout bridle er lines?"
52782May I examine your neck to see what can be done?"
52782Me?"
52782Now what do you pay me fer?
52782Now, how come dat?
52782Now, if he was n''t a nigger what was he trying to play nigger for?
52782Now, was n''t he wise for his age?
52782Now, where does he go?"
52782Oh, is n''t there some one to hear me?"
52782Once there, was there a hound that would venture to take a bath with him?
52782Saddle''em by sun- up?
52782Says he,''Will you please, sir, give me as much as a spoonful of low- wines for to rub on my legs?''
52782Shall I make bacon of you?
52782She''s a scorcher, ai n''t she?"
52782Smoke without fire?
52782Suppose that some quagmire or other in that there swamp has gone and got up a ruction on its own hook?
52782That is, if Aaron could n''t call the elements to his aid-- but suppose he could?
52782Was he following the rolling echoes?
52782Was he listening?
52782Was it Mr. Coon or Cousin Coon?
52782Was it for this,--for this,--her darling child had been born?
52782Was it indeed true?
52782Was it the runaway''s intention to jump suddenly from the buggy and strike the horse with the whip?
52782Was n''t he a runaway?
52782Was n''t there a snap and a snarl when the partridge- pea vine caught his foot?
52782Was n''t there a splash and a splutter as he ran into the quagmire?
52782Was one of the bateaux missing this morning?"
52782Well, then, why did n''t his master keep Aaron while he had him in the buggy?
52782Were n''t the chances ten to one that when she saw him she told him that Simmons would be after him in the morning?
52782Whar you say de key is?"
52782What about foxfire?
52782What am I that my food should be thrown at me through the cracks?
52782What am I to do to- day?"
52782What are you doing now?"
52782What could the Little Master want at this early hour?
52782What could the rest hope for if so fierce a creature as the White Pig could be disposed of in this fashion?
52782What demon was this that had seized the White Grunter and was carrying him off?
52782What does that mean?"
52782What have you done with your hosses?"
52782What living and moving creetur could build a fire in that thicket?
52782What man am I to carry, Son of Ben Ali?"
52782What then?
52782What then?
52782What was he up to?
52782What was the rider''s errand?
52782What was this going on right before his eyes?
52782What yo''name, honey?"
52782What''d I do out dar by myse''f at night?
52782What''s to hinder you?
52782What, then, was to be done?
52782When did you come to like me so well?"
52782When everything was ready, the question arose, how was the horse to be removed to his new quarters?
52782When the time comes for the cart I shall have-- what do you call it?"
52782Where did the nigger go?
52782Where''ve you been?"
52782Who are you, anyhow?"
52782Who else would dare to hurt him, or even threaten to hurt him?
52782Who is dat?
52782Who knows?
52782Who stopped him?"
52782Who talked of turns where the Little Master was concerned?
52782Who''s going to know where the fire is?"
52782Who, then, but Abercrombie?
52782Why could n''t the track dogs catch him?
52782Why did he sit still and allow the runaway to go back to the woods?
52782Why not stay here with me to- morrow, and the next day?"
52782Why should I doubt your word?"
52782Why should he go skimming along the red road at day dawn?
52782Why, then, should a thin but steady stream of blue smoke be constantly rising upwards from the centre of Spivey''s Canebrake?
52782Why, what on the face of the earth do you mean?
52782Why?
52782Why?
52782Why?
52782Will dey ketch you ef I tell?"
52782Would Mr. Coon of the Swamp ever be caught on dry land?
52782Would she hasten it?
52782You ca n''t help seeing what''s right at you, can you?"
52782You reckon he gwine ter foller you ter de landin''en den turn right''roun''in his tracks en go back?"
52782You''d have Jim Simmons''s nigger dogs atter you, an''den what''d you do?"
52782Your name, Son of Ben Ali?"
52782[ Illustration: HE EDGED AWAY AS FAR AS HE COULD]"What is it?"
52782[ Illustration: THE EXCITED HORSE PLUNGED ALONG]"Hurt much?"
52782[ Illustration: THE HORSES WERE RIGHT AT HIS HEELS]"Is anybody ever see de beat er dat?"
52782and"Whar you been, Little Marster, dat we ai n''t seed you sence day''fo''yistiddy?"
52782he cried;"ai n''t he your nigger?
52782he cried;"what queer country is this, where all the birds are headless?
52782how can you put such an idea in the child''s mind?"
52782insisted Mr. Jim Simmons with his careless, irritating drawl,"ai n''t it a plum''fact that this nigger''s been in the woods a month or sech a matter?
32279''What is it, Rosalie?'' 32279 ''What is that, Brother?
32279A what?
32279About Jack?
32279All right,he said bravely,"I''ll go, only-- only, may I kiss mother good- night first?"
32279And Uncle Jack, was he angry too?
32279And did n''t your father ever forgive you?
32279And does that make a difference?
32279And have you no relations who could afford to help you-- no uncles or aunts, for instance?
32279And he thinks-- he thinks that something might be done, so that Jack would be able to walk like other people?
32279And how did you amuse yourself all day in the house?
32279And how is your little brother to- day?
32279And if he is dead, who is the lord now?
32279And is n''t it funny? 32279 And what am I?"
32279And who will be Lord Carresford when you-- after you get through?
32279And why lords in particular?
32279And you have since discovered that I am not such a very solemn person after all, is that it?
32279Are n''t you back earlier than usual, mother?
32279Are n''t you glad you''ve got ancestors?
32279Are you better, mother?
32279Are you happy, Jack, darling?
32279Are you quite sure you''re comfortable, Jack?
32279Are you sure it''s quite safe?
32279Are you sure you were warm enough all the time?
32279Are you very frightened, Jack, dear?
32279Are you very rich yourself?
32279Betty, dear, what do you mean?
32279Betty,she said tenderly,"poor little Betty, what is it?"
32279Betty,whispered Jack, when their mother had left the room, and the two children were alone together,"do you suppose we shall ever see Uncle Jack?"
32279But if she had n''t wanted to know us she would n''t have taken us to drive, would she?
32279But nothing is going to happen, is it, mother?
32279But you''ll come back very soon, wo n''t you, Betty?
32279Could n''t I go there some time?
32279Could n''t we jump out and wade ashore?
32279Did Uncle Jack love him too?
32279Did you ever know any of his people, Charlie?
32279Did you really?
32279Did you say you drew pictures?
32279Did your mother send you for me?
32279Do n''t know him, eh; but your mother knows him, does n''t she?
32279Do n''t lessons cost a good deal, sir?
32279Do n''t you hate being poor, Jack?
32279Do n''t you know what a great help you have been to Miss Clark and me? 32279 Do n''t you think mother might write to him some time?"
32279Do n''t you think you could possibly read it to her after I go home?
32279Do you a favor?
32279Do you like being a lord?
32279Do you mean to tell me that they are almost total strangers to you, and yet that you are willing to take all this trouble for them?
32279Do you really think so?
32279Do you suppose he is to be found on the beach this afternoon?
32279Do you suppose they''ll go to England and live in a castle?
32279Do you think she''s very ill?
32279Do you think the doctor will make her well right away, Betty?
32279Do you think you would like to live in the country?
32279Do you want a cab?
32279Does he know about it?
32279Does it feel funny to be so very rich, Betty?
32279Does n''t he ever go out?
32279Good- evening,said the visitor, smiling pleasantly,"is your mother at home?"
32279Good- morning, little Miss Winnie,he said pleasantly,"and what can I do for you to- day?
32279Has your father been long dead, dear?
32279Have you a particular objection to housekeepers, then?
32279Have you been drifting long? 32279 Have you got any nephews now?"
32279Have you never happened to see any of his sketches?
32279Have you really?
32279He was your twin brother, was n''t he, mother?
32279How could I?
32279How did you get in? 32279 How did your family happen to know him?"
32279How much are they?
32279How old are you?
32279How old is he now?
32279How very sad,said Winifred sympathetically;"how did it happen?"
32279I am sure Betty would enjoy it,she said;"you would like to go, would n''t you, dear?"
32279I do n''t suppose your aunt cares who writes the stories, so long as she gets them, does she, Lulu?
32279I love them,said Jack heartily,"but, Betty, do you suppose mother would like it?"
32279I should not imagine the view could have been very interesting,said Lord Carresford, smiling;"but how did it happen that you so seldom went out?"
32279I think I have seen several in my life,said Mrs. Randall, smiling;"why do you want to know?"
32279I wish I could see her,said Jack wistfully;"do you suppose she would come up here if you asked her?"
32279I wonder why mother is so very particular?
32279If we do will you ask us to stay at your castle?
32279If you please, sir,interrupted Betty--"I mean, your lordship-- do you know whether our families have been very much worried about us?"
32279Is Jack your little brother?
32279Is n''t it perfectly lovely here?
32279Is n''t it strange that we live in the same house and never spoke to each other before?
32279Is n''t it the very loveliest surprise you ever had?
32279Is she better?
32279Is that you, Betty?
32279Is there something the matter with your mother?
32279Is this Miss Betty Randall?
32279Is your lord uncle in England now, mother?
32279Is your mother a teacher?
32279Is your mother at home now?
32279Is your sketch finished?
32279It would be rather a pity to go so far without seeing the ocean, do n''t you think so?
32279It''s really quite like a book thing; do n''t you think so?
32279Jack,he said pleasantly, sitting down beside the little boy,"what would you like to be when you grow up?"
32279Lords do n''t look any different from other people, do they, mother?
32279Lulu writes beautifully, do n''t you think so, mother?
32279May I look at it? 32279 Mrs. Hamilton,"she added rather shyly,"do you suppose Dr. Bell has forgotten Jack, now that he does n''t come to see mother any more?"
32279Must we go right back to New York again?
32279My story is n''t nearly as nice as yours,said Winifred modestly;"are you sure you really want me to read it?"
32279No friends?
32279No, indeed,said Lord Carresford,"I am sure Miss Warren would much prefer your reading to mine, but may I not be permitted to hear the stories too?"
32279No, never; are they worth anything?
32279Not at all a bad idea, and in the meantime wo n''t you make yourselves at home on board my yacht? 32279 Not at all; what is it?"
32279Now,said the gentleman, rising,"do you think you can manage to climb this ladder?
32279Oh, I said you were a very clever boy, and-- why, there''s the door bell; I wonder who it can be?
32279Oh, Jack, what is it?
32279Oh, Jack, you would n''t dare?
32279Oh, Jack, you''re not going to be ill too, are you?
32279Oh, Uncle Jack, I''m so very happy; I was just thinking how beautiful everything is, and I was wishing----"Well, what were you wishing?
32279Oh, are we really going to see the ocean?
32279Oh, do you really think they''ll save us?
32279Oh, is n''t it fun?
32279Oh, mother, what shall we do?
32279Oh, mother,she added eagerly, as the door closed,"did you see?
32279Oh, my little boy, were you very, very much frightened?
32279Oh, no, it is n''t that, only I do n''t think-- Lord Carresford, would you mind telling me something?
32279Oh, what shall we do-- what shall we do?
32279Oh, yes, I am gaining strength every day,said Mrs. Randall with a sigh,"but, Mrs. Hamilton, how can I ever repay you for all you have done for us?
32279Oh, yes, certainly; and the children, what of them?
32279Ought n''t we ask some one first?
32279Ought n''t you to have a doctor come to see you?
32279Please, sir,he said tremulously,"would you mind telling us-- is mother going to be well again pretty soon?"
32279Rather a big wish, is n''t it, my boy? 32279 Shall I begin now, Aunt Daisy?"
32279Shall we go down on the beach and play?
32279Talent for what?
32279That''s where we live,said Winifred;"do you know what the little girl''s name is?"
32279The lord?
32279The scene now changes to a dirty, crowded city street----*****Do n''t you think that''s a nice expression, Aunt Daisy,''the scene now changes''?
32279They are English, are they not?
32279This is the top floor, is n''t it?
32279To spend the night?
32279Too bad, is n''t it?
32279Was it really?
32279Well, I am afraid not always,said Lord Carresford, laughing;"do n''t you think that you may need a share for yourself?"
32279Well, Winnie,said the lady smiling, as they approached the counter,"have you decided which it is to be to- day, macaroons or chocolate éclairs?"
32279Well, and when did you first begin to think of the Thank Offering?
32279Well, but there is a park here, too, is n''t there? 32279 Well, do you think he would mind very much if I spent it all on giving somebody else a good time?"
32279Well, if I behave nicely and am ladylike, wo n''t they think so any way?
32279Well, is it all right?
32279Well, miss, what can I do for you?
32279Well, mother''s a lady, is n''t she? 32279 Well, my boy, and how have you been amusing yourself to- day?"
32279Well, my pet, what is it?
32279Well, young ladies,he said pleasantly,"and what have you been doing all the morning?"
32279Well, young people, are you having a good time?
32279Were the carriages all engaged for the day after to- morrow? 32279 What did you tell her?"
32279What for?
32279What have you been reading?
32279What is it, Jack?
32279What is your uncle''s name?
32279What kind of things do you want to see, Jack?
32279What made him come over to this country?
32279What makes you look so-- so queer? 32279 What was the lord''s name, by the way?"
32279What would you like to do?
32279What''s that?
32279What''s the matter, Lulu? 32279 Where does he live, mother?"
32279Where does this river go to, Lulu?
32279Where is he coming from?
32279Where''s your mother''s park?
32279Where, where?
32279Who taught you to draw?
32279Why are you so anxious on the subject?
32279Why do n''t you take him for a drive sometimes?
32279Why not?
32279Why not?
32279Why were you surprised? 32279 Why, Betty, how could I possibly do such a thing as that?"
32279Why, do n''t you know? 32279 Why, do n''t you know?"
32279Why? 32279 Why?"
32279Will you please go just as soon as you can?
32279Wo n''t it be lovely when Jack gets well? 32279 Wo n''t you come in?"
32279Wo n''t you please be a little kind to Betty too? 32279 Wo n''t you sit down?"
32279Would n''t it be nice if Winifred Hamilton came to see us this afternoon,Jack remarked rather irrelevantly;"I do like her very much, do n''t you?"
32279Would n''t you like to come in and speak to her yourself?
32279Would n''t you like to go to Navesink and make Lulu a visit?
32279Would n''t you like to go to Navesink too?
32279Yes, I did think so; and the little lame boy-- isn''t he a Hamilton either?
32279Yes, do you want to see it?
32279Yes, mother; do you think I might? 32279 Yes; how did you know I had a little brother?"
32279You are fond of the sea, then?
32279You did n''t hurt yourself, did you?
32279You did n''t say so, did you?
32279You did n''t take it, did you?
32279You do n''t know where he lives in England, do you?
32279You do n''t love Winifred better than me, do you?
32279You go to school, do n''t you?
32279You have n''t ever been away from your mother before, have you?
32279You have n''t really, have you, mother?
32279You mean that you would like to spend your five dollars in hiring a carriage to take that little cripple boy and his sister for a drive?
32279You mean the thing about you-- oh, Jack, you mean about your being made to walk?
32279You want to make money, eh? 32279 You would n''t mind so much if you could be a great artist and paint beautiful pictures, would you, Jack?"
32279You''ll save us if you possibly can, wo n''t you?
32279You''re not a single mite jealous, are you?
32279''The Indian''is a nice name, is n''t it?
32279''Where is that strange figure that you saw, Rosalie?''
32279*****"Do n''t you think it was rather poor taste in the lady and gentleman to be so elegantly dressed under the circumstances?"
32279A lord is n''t a bit different from anybody else,"to which Jack replied,"No, only rather nicer than most people, do n''t you think so?"
32279Are you going in, Miss Warren?"
32279Are you going to the beach, Lulu?"
32279Are you not feeling as well this morning?"
32279Are you quite sure it''s all true, and not a dream?"
32279Are you sure you can really get away for a whole day, father?"
32279Bradford?"
32279But I mean the kind of ladies who have lords for their relations-- do they ever work?"
32279But if your little brother wants to go so very much, and if it''s his birthday, do n''t you think your mother might possibly let you have the money?"
32279But look, is n''t that the very child you are talking about?
32279By the way, how long is it that you have been laid up like this?"
32279CHAPTER XIV JACK''S NEW FRIEND"May I inquire what you are thinking of so intently, Miss Lulu?"
32279CHAPTER XV SOMETHING HAPPENS"Is it finished, Winifred?"
32279Ca n''t you really come and make me a visit?
32279Can you tell me which is Mrs. Randall''s apartment?"
32279Did n''t you always expect to be one?"
32279Did n''t you get it, after all?"
32279Did n''t you say to- morrow would be the little boy''s birthday?"
32279Did you ever go to Manhattan Beach, Uncle Will?"
32279Did you ever live there?"
32279Did you ever see any one who was very ill, Winifred?"
32279Did you think she was Winifred''s sister?"
32279Do n''t you feel very well, sir?"
32279Do n''t you know anything about her family, Charlie?"
32279Do n''t you like teas, Lord Carresford?"
32279Do you enjoy teas yourself?"
32279Do you suppose it looks like this at Navesink?"
32279Do you think Jack would like to have me stay with him for a while?
32279Do you think we shall all perish, sailor?"
32279Do you think your friends will be very much frightened about you?"
32279Do you want to come too, Jack?"
32279Does Betty know about what we''re doing?"
32279Have you ever heard your father speak of Lord Carresford?"
32279Have you got a beautiful castle in England, like the one Fauntleroy had?"
32279Have you got a park with deer in it?"
32279How did she obtain her superior knowledge about lords?"
32279How shall we let them know we want them to help us?"
32279I come-- that is, I want-- oh, Dr. Bell, will you please do me a very great favor?"
32279I never do play with dolls-- boys do n''t, you know, but a boy doll-- well, that seems a little different, does n''t it?"
32279I should like to see him, should n''t you, Betty?"
32279I suppose you would n''t care to go with us?
32279I wish we had an uncle, do n''t you?"
32279If anything had happened-- Jack, old fellow, how can I thank you?"
32279If you ever could be made to walk, Jack, would n''t you be the very happiest boy in the whole world?"
32279Is Jack all right?"
32279Is n''t it lovely having mother so much better?
32279Is n''t that where your friends, the Bells, are spending the summer?"
32279Is that the reason why you hate to accept things from people, mother?"
32279Is yours done yet, Winifred?"
32279It could n''t be more than a dollar, do you think it could?"
32279It seems so queer not to know a person who lives in the same house that you do, does n''t it?"
32279It was with a very bright face, however, that the little girl came running back into the sitting room, in answer to Jack''s eager"What is it, Betty?"
32279It''s very interesting to look at things, do n''t you think so?"
32279Jack was so happy; how could she tell him that their cherished plan must be given up?
32279May I go?"
32279No more difficulties about drawing lessons, eh?"
32279Oh, Betty, I do think birthdays are lovely things, do n''t you?"
32279Oh, Betty, you did n''t really think I could, did you?"
32279Oh, do n''t you believe they''re going to help us after all?"
32279Oh, mother, dear, do you really think we could?"
32279Oh, mother, dear, does n''t it all seem just like a fairy story that''s come true?"
32279Oh, papa, dear, you wo n''t be angry, will you?"
32279Oh, what shall we do-- what shall we do?"
32279Oh, what shall we do?"
32279Oh, what will become of us?
32279Oh, what''s the matter?
32279Please, sir, would you mind telling me if it''s very bad?"
32279Randall?"
32279See those two men?
32279Shall I send these things, ma''am, or will you take them with you?"
32279Shall I take you in to have a peep at her?"
32279They never work, do they?"
32279They never work, do they?"
32279Too bad your little brother ca n''t get out these fine spring days, is n''t it?"
32279Was n''t it kind of her to send them?
32279Were you very much frightened?"
32279What day is it?"
32279What does it feel like to be jealous?"
32279What if Dr. Bell were angry-- what if he refused to go?
32279What is it?"
32279What''s the matter, Jack-- are mosquitoes biting?"
32279What''s the use of it now when we have to live in a flat, and mother has to give music lessons and do all the housework herself?
32279When her father came in she asked,''How did you get rid of him, father?''
32279Where do you live, by the way?"
32279Where''s mother?"
32279Why do n''t you have a doctor come to see your mother?"
32279Why do n''t you light the gas stove, Betty, and get her slippers nice and warm?
32279Why do you want to know?"
32279Why, my darling, what are you crying for?
32279Why, what''s the matter-- is Jack ill?"
32279Will you tell your mother that Mrs. Martin called?
32279Wo n''t that be fun?"
32279Wo n''t they be surprised when they see who is with us?"
32279Would n''t you like to begin by being a brave little soldier boy now?"
32279Would n''t you like to have me get you some water or something?"
32279Would you like to have me ask him to come and see your mother?"
32279Would you like to read some of them now?"
32279Would you like to see it?"
32279Would you mind coming to look at her, Winifred?
32279Would you please tell me how much it would cost to hire a carriage to take us to Central Park?"
32279You do like chocolate éclairs very much, do n''t you, Jack, dear?"
32279You do n''t mind our going, do you?"
32279You do n''t think, do you, that anything dreadful is going to happen?"
32279You have never heard very much about your father, have you, darling?"
32279You know the five- dollar gold- piece that Uncle Will gave me for Easter?"
32279You know you are to leave this house the day after to- morrow; now where should you like best to go?"
32279You never heard my mother play on the piano, did you?"
32279You will be good to the children, and love them for my sake, wo n''t you, Jack?"
32279You will stay with her till the nurse arrives?"
32279You wo n''t forget my message, will you?"
32279You wo n''t forget to write, Mollie?"
32279You would like to do something to help your mother get well, would n''t you?"
32279You would like to go, would n''t you, Jack, darling?"
32279Your mother''s awake now, is n''t she, Betty?
32279and may I ask what your name is?"
32279and what will you do with the money when it is made?"
32279he asked eagerly;"is it too far for any one to carry me?"
32279he cried eagerly;"are we going to have the carriage?
32279he repeated;"no aunts or cousins?"
59967''To meet again''--those are lovely words, Aunt Lizzie, are they not?
59967A fairy tale?
59967A flower? 59967 A picture of what?"
59967A secret?
59967A telegram?
59967A telegram?
59967A what? 59967 About me, Aunt Lizzie?"
59967About what war? 59967 Ah, dost thou not know that this is heaven, and that thou hast wings?"
59967And Fritz; will he be there? 59967 And I shall see thee again, father?"
59967And Violet will have wings!--thou knowest that?
59967And art thou going out to see the angels?
59967And besides,the doctor added kindly,"what should we all do here in Edelsheim without our little Violet?
59967And can thy father never bake any more bread, nor stand any more at the door in the evening and kiss hands up to me?
59967And didst thou not always say thy prayers every morning and every night?
59967And father?
59967And hast thou been long alone, poor little maiden?
59967And hast thou been sick always?
59967And he gave her wings?
59967And he is to go away to the war?
59967And he will not even try?
59967And is any one hurt?
59967And is he dark, or fair?
59967And is it well now, Evelina?
59967And is thy father very sick? 59967 And must he always walk with crutches, always, always?"
59967And no one was here to tell the good news?
59967And that is thy mother''s hair? 59967 And the children, the little cousins at Gützberg,--will not they too be delighted?"
59967And the children?
59967And this is all true, is it not, Evelina?
59967And thou wilt be there, dearest mother?
59967And thou, Evelina, wilt thou not be an angel too? 59967 And thy father-- what is he like?"
59967And thy mother,--canst thou remember her?
59967And thy mother-- was she dark also?
59967And wert thou ever in a battle, father?
59967And what did she say?
59967And what does he put into them?
59967And who is this little cherub with the red cheeks? 59967 And who was she?
59967And why is the whole town up early-- why, Evelina?
59967And will it be a long way off, down a far, far street?
59967And will it be soon?
59967Art thou searching for a wood- fairy amongst the leaves?
59967Art thou sick?
59967Aunt Lizzie will be glad when father comes home; will she not, Evelina?
59967Aunt Lizzie, is it father? 59967 Aunt Lizzie, is it the drum?
59967Aunt Lizzie, what is Fritz shouting about over there at the window? 59967 Aunt Lizzie, wilt thou do one more thing for Violet?"
59967Aunt Lizzie?
59967Beautiful, shining, silver wings; and no more hump and no more pain?
59967Before the winter?
59967Bones?
59967But Fritz''s father can not be sent to the war; he is not a soldier, father?
59967But are any of them sick-- sick, I mean, like me?
59967But are they true?
59967But dost thou see it, father?
59967But has he any children, Fritz?
59967But he does not want thee; he has not sent for thee?
59967But in thine arms, Evelina; couldst thou not take me such a little way in thine arms?
59967But thou rememberest the little sick girl in the book, dost thou not, Evelina?
59967But thou wouldst like it, wouldst thou not?
59967But we were not talking nonsense, were we, father? 59967 But what is it?
59967But what would they say?
59967But where is she? 59967 But where-- where?
59967Can she, will she live, do you think, until he returns?
59967Certainly; what is it?
59967Come along, let''s have some fun.--May we take down all those old beasts overhead and have a game with them?--may we, Violet? 59967 Could not I go with the other little angels?"
59967Couldst not thou dress me, father?
59967Couldst not thou hold my hand on the pencil and show me how?
59967Couldst thou not go across and see if she will soon be here? 59967 Darling, what is it?"
59967Did any one ever hear of such an idea?
59967Did the good Lord Jesus call my little mother away?
59967Didst thou not hear them, Evelina? 59967 Didst thou see any violets there?"
59967Does she sleep? 59967 Dost thou know what Kate said to Violet once?"
59967Dost thou mean Evelina?
59967Dost thou mean what is in thy hump-- this thing?
59967Dost thou not see in the picture there, low down on the page, where it is written,''No more tears''? 59967 Dost thou see my face, father?"
59967Ella did not make thee cry, Violet, did she? 59967 Ella, thou great goose, thou stupid little child, what art thou saying?
59967Evelina, what was that dreadful noise?
59967Evelina, where art thou?
59967Fairy tales? 59967 Father will not forget his Violet; for thou seest I am his little Violet-- am I not, Aunt Lizzie?
59967Father will write to Violet?
59967Father, is it thou? 59967 Fritz asked was that why they called thee Violet, because thou also hast a hump?
59967Fritz, what didst thou say? 59967 Fritz,"she said one evening suddenly, as he and she sat alone in the deep window- seat,"Fritz, tell me this one thing: dost thou love Evelina?"
59967From the street?
59967Go on,said Violet anxiously;"what more did Fritz say?"
59967Good- evening,said the doctor as they met presently face to face;"how goes it with thee, William?
59967Has she spoken at all to- day of her father?
59967Has the king seen thee, father?
59967Hast thou heard the news, Violet?
59967Hast thou heard, Violet?
59967He is not dead?
59967Hist,he cried, leaning down and trying to catch the attention of some one immediately beneath the window,"what has happened?"
59967How does he know about her?
59967How dost thou know?
59967How goes it with the little girl upstairs?
59967How is that?--neither hat nor coat?
59967How is this?--quite alone, little one?
59967How long has she slept like this?
59967How much do I owe thee for them?
59967How soon?
59967I fancied I had heard her crying this morning very early; was it not so?
59967I may see Ella to- morrow, may I not?
59967I suppose,replied Evelina with a short laugh,"any one who does not know thy father must be a blockhead, eh?"
59967If-- if, dearest Lizzie, it should please God that I should not return-- what then? 59967 In my arms, dear love?
59967In the basket?
59967In what book?
59967Is Fritz at the window?
59967Is Fritz''s father safe?
59967Is Madam Adler coming?
59967Is it all over?
59967Is it little Violet who has sent thee for them?
59967Is it night?
59967Is there not something inside of every poor hunchback''s hump?
59967Is what true?
59967It was not a fairy tale?
59967It will not be for_ very_ long, will it?
59967John, where is my darling? 59967 Kate, Kate, where art thou going?"
59967Kate, Kate, where is father?
59967Kate,she said presently, in a low, coaxing voice,"couldst thou not carry me in thy arms in there?
59967Little goose,replied the girl, turning away her head suddenly from the sight of those pleading eyes;"how can I tell thee?
59967Mother, dear, why dost thou want me in the night?
59967Mother, what did he say I was? 59967 My father is not gone to heaven too?"
59967My father is not in the Reserve?
59967My father? 59967 My father?"
59967My little life, my heart''s blood, what ails thee? 59967 No, my child; what was it?"
59967No, no-- in a minute thou shalt see it; but first thou wilt tell me one thing, wilt thou not, Fritz? 59967 Not about the war?"
59967Not to stay-- not to sleep? 59967 Of whom art thou speaking, darling?"
59967Oh, how can I tell? 59967 Oh, wilt thou?"
59967Or Ella?
59967Poor child, why does she ask me such questions?
59967Seest thou? 59967 Selling fish?"
59967She is happy?
59967Sick like thee?
59967So many friends,she said softly; then added almost in a whisper,"and also, Aunt Lizzie, the Lord Jesus; he is my friend too, is he not?"
59967So thou art thinking already of sending me back to Gützberg?
59967That God gives the little hunchbacks these humps?
59967The basket- bell? 59967 The children at Gützberg would not dare to speak to me like that; they have better manners.--Wilt thou have thy dinner now?"
59967Then thou_ wilt_ take me? 59967 There, darling,"she cried, placing it on Violet''s head,"is not that lovely?
59967They love me?
59967Thinking of what?
59967Thou art certain?
59967Thou art sure, dear heart?
59967Thou dost not know?
59967Thou hast not been very long by thyself, hast thou, my sweet one?
59967Thou thinkest so, my treasure?
59967To die?
59967Violet can not go down to the station and see her father off to the war, can she, Aunt Lizzie?
59967Violet can see so much better all up and down the street, and thou canst put thy arms round me, and hold me so tightly;--is it not so, Kate?
59967Violet, hast thou heard the news? 59967 Violets have got humps on their backs; and thou-- thou-- art a violet too, and thou hast a hump on thy back; and is not that funny?"
59967Was she a little hunchback like me?
59967Was she what? 59967 We must not quite cover up thy face for all that, my angel,"she added laughing,"or what would the old policeman say?"
59967Well, Violet, what art thou thinking of, with thy great big eyes so wide open?
59967Well, and what didst thou say?
59967Well, and what is it, Fritz? 59967 Well, and what then?"
59967Well, darling, hast thou been long awake?
59967Well, now that father is returned, dost thou know-- canst thou guess what he has been about all the afternoon?
59967Well, well, what does it signify? 59967 Well, well?"
59967Well, what is it? 59967 Were there any poor little hunchbacks at the station at Edelsheim?"
59967What about the wings?
59967What about?
59967What ails my treasure?
59967What ails sweet mother?
59967What are they all crying for in the street below?
59967What art thou doing, Ella?
59967What book?
59967What do you wonder about? 59967 What does Fritz say?"
59967What does it matter what we are like here? 59967 What does it matter?"
59967What does it say?
59967What good news?
59967What hast thou been doing all this morning, Ella?
59967What hast thou been reading?
59967What is it, my little girlie?
59967What is it, then?
59967What is it? 59967 What is it?
59967What is it? 59967 What is it?"
59967What is it?
59967What is that?
59967What is that?
59967What is the Reserve?
59967What is the boy doing up there?
59967What is this?
59967What little girl?
59967What paper?
59967What rod?
59967What secret?
59967What thing, Fritz?
59967What town?
59967What troubles thee? 59967 What were they crying about?"
59967What will not be for long?
59967What would they say, Evelina?
59967What? 59967 What?
59967What?
59967What?
59967What?
59967What?
59967When the lambs are very tired, and can not walk any more, the Lord Jesus lifts them in his arms and carries them, does he not?
59967When? 59967 When?"
59967Where did Aunt Lizzie see so many tears?
59967Where is dear mother, and why does she want me in the night?
59967Where is father?
59967Where is mother, dear father? 59967 Where is mother?"
59967Where is thy maid?
59967Where shall I put this Bible, darling?
59967Where?
59967Who gave thee the book, Violet?
59967Who gave thee this new book, and what story hast thou been troubling thy poor head with?
59967Who is the child?
59967Who told her of it?
59967Whom?
59967Why am not I like other children?
59967Why can not you write it for her, eh?
59967Why did they take her away?
59967Why not? 59967 Why some other day?
59967Why, Fritz, did she say that?
59967Why, dear Fritz?
59967Why, father?
59967Why? 59967 Why?"
59967Why?
59967Will Evelina soon be here?
59967Will father say''Good- bye''to Violet?
59967Will she know I am there? 59967 Wilt thou not carry Violet across to her chair?"
59967Wilt thou not, Evelina?
59967Yes, certainly; why not? 59967 Yes, here is Fritz; what is it, dear Violet?"
59967Yes, my own Violet; what is it?
59967Yes, thou and Fritz,she echoed softly;"and then I can go down the hill and see the place where mother is asleep; can not I, father?"
59967Yes, yes; why not? 59967 Yes?"
59967You are very kind to our Violet?
59967Ah, is that it?
59967Ah, seest thou not now Violet has wings?"
59967And dost thou know what Fritz said?
59967And he has known thee all thy life?"
59967And if he does, I must go; must I not, Violet?
59967And now thou wilt not be an ungrateful little girl, when Evelina has done all this for thee?
59967And now thou wilt say''Good- night,''wilt thou not?
59967And shall I see glow- worms, too, and those little mice which have wings?"
59967And the Lord Jesus answered her, in a low, sweet voice,"Dost thou not know this is the little Violet from Edelsheim?
59967And we shall have such fun; shall we not, thou little heart''s love?
59967And who is the friend who has given our little Violet this beautiful present?"
59967And-- and-- who is that sitting in the window beside thee?"
59967As she did so, Violet looked up and said, rather wearily,--"Aunt Lizzie, canst thou help me?"
59967At last she said, with a weak and somewhat complaining voice,"Evelina, why art thou making the room ready so early?
59967Aunt Lizzie shook her head at this history; and Violet said in a very low voice,--"O Fritz, is not Ella joking?"
59967But at the door he paused, and looking at Aunt Lizzie he asked, with an eye which for the moment burned with a suppressed anger,"Where is the girl?"
59967But oh, there is such a lovely story in her book, Fritz, and I want so much to ask of thee,''Is it true?''"
59967But was it, after all, so terrible that the women should faint, and the angels hide their faces in their hands?
59967But what harm?
59967But what is the use of talking?
59967But who is to open this telegram and tell us what is in it?"
59967Canst thou not answer me, Kate?
59967Canst thou not tell me where is my little mother gone?"
59967Did not he, Aunt Lizzie?"
59967Dost thou think thou art an angel already?"
59967Eh, little heart''s darling, what sayest thou?"
59967Eh, my darling?"
59967For was not she herself called Violet?
59967For why had her mother called her in the middle of the night and said good- bye to her?
59967Had the good doctor been to pay her a visit; was the canary well; did the poor back ache much?
59967Has she spoken at all since morning?"
59967Hast thou no sense, Master Fritz, but to go and ring bells in people''s ears when they are asleep?
59967Hast thou not seen him?
59967Hast thou seen the doctor?"
59967He will cry out,''Where is my own little Violet?''
59967Her hands were just like claws, and-- but what is the matter with thee?
59967How can I tell?
59967I am afraid father is a poor old stupid, is he not?"
59967I am not so heavy as Ella, am I, father?"
59967I am what?"
59967I could almost die of laughter.--But what is the matter with the child?
59967I have but one or two nails to put in this hood, and then thy carriage will be finished; that is good, is it not?"
59967I met him just at the corner by the flower- shop, and told him all about that promised drive to the hill this afternoon; and what dost thou think?
59967I suppose thou art too grand to wear one of my hats?"
59967I think now we may let her cry a little; is it not so, sir?"
59967I will try to love thee better every day.--And all the poor sick hunchbacks have wings, have they not; and I, too, I shall have wings?"
59967Is it not so, Evelina?"
59967Is it not so, Evelina?"
59967Is it not so, John?
59967Is it not so, Violet?"
59967Is it not so, my loved one?"
59967Is it not so?
59967Is it not true, mother?"
59967Is mother gone out too?
59967Is not Evelina good to thee?"
59967Is not that lovely, Aunt Lizzie?"
59967Is not that lovely?"
59967Is not that lovely?"
59967Is not this what thou meanest, dearest child?"
59967Is she in the next room?"
59967Is she too far up, father?"
59967Is there anything more I can do for thee?
59967It is at least likely; but wherefore, darling child, dost thou ask Aunt Lizzie this question?"
59967It is quite true about the carriage, is it not?
59967It was Noah of course-- only, what does it matter?
59967Kate, canst thou not see them too?"
59967Let me see now;--where is thy hat?
59967May Aunt Lizzie come in?"
59967May I have it?"
59967Mother must say adieu to her poor sick girlie; but father will love thee, oh, so well.--Is it not so, beloved?
59967My father, where is he?
59967Now where are the violets?"
59967O Evelina, can not I go in the carriage as Ella often goes in Fritz''s wooden cart?
59967She has come all the way from Gützberg to take care of thee; is it not so, my treasure?"
59967She hesitated a moment, then seeing Violet''s eyes open she asked her softly,--"Am I to open it, darling?
59967So Ella and I laughed, for she would have a long way to run to tell her father-- would she not, Violet?"
59967The doctor gazed out of the window for a moment, and then turning to her he said quickly,--"You are very good to the child-- careful, gentle, patient?
59967Then suddenly raising her voice till it sounded quite shrilly through the house, she cried out,"Mother, mother, may I not go into thy room?
59967Then turning her head suddenly, she said quickly,"Fritz, dost thou hear what the doctor says?
59967There was a short pause, and then Violet said earnestly,--"Aunt Lizzie, wilt thou go to the shop and buy me some violets?
59967They will look up and they will say,''Where is little Violet?''
59967Thou art one of God''s own little children, and is not that the best thing of all?"
59967Thou rememberest all this, Evelina?"
59967Thou rememberest, dost thou not?
59967Thou wilt be brave, sweetest child, for his sake, wilt thou not?
59967Thou wilt not say good- bye to- night?"
59967Was ever anything so funny?"
59967Was it not, Violet?"
59967Was not that good of her?"
59967Was she, after all, so unlike an angel, this"fat Miss Ella,"at whose appearance Evelina could not restrain her laughter?
59967What ails thee, my sweetest treasure?"
59967What ails thee?
59967What art thou crying for, Violet?"
59967What art thou doing?"
59967What do you want to know?
59967What does that mean, mother?"
59967What dost thou see, father?"
59967What is it, my little darling?"
59967What is to become of my poor child?"
59967What makes thee cry?
59967What troubles thee?
59967What wouldst thou have had me to do?"
59967When will father be here?"
59967Where was she going?
59967Who gave it thee?"
59967Whose hat is it?"
59967Whose turn will it be next?"
59967Why dost thou call for him so?
59967Why is it a secret, and why should Ella not tell me?"
59967Will he not, mother?"
59967Will no one come to Violet?"
59967ah, well; but is not this the time for his school?"
59967all alone?"
59967and are they only fireworks?"
59967and is not his father also going away to the war?"
59967and is that the reason why I sit in this chair and can not walk?"
59967and what did she know of that peace which the doctor said passed all understanding?
59967and what is in it that it pains me so?"
59967and why did his mother slap him?
59967but are fairy tales never true?"
59967can she eat?
59967canst thou not also give wings to Violet?
59967canst thou not hear me, mother?
59967cried Evelina, putting her arms suddenly round Violet''s neck and kissing her;"why art thou in such a hurry to leave us all?
59967cried Violet eagerly;"why, didst thou see him?"
59967cried her aunt excitedly, who had been standing all this time by the bedside with her eyes full of tears;"is it possible?"
59967cried the old woman distractedly--"is the child dead?--tell me now at once, is our Violet dead?"
59967echoed Violet in a tone of such concentrated interest that Evelina looked up startled and astonished;"when shall I have wings?"
59967for me?"
59967gasped Violet, still keeping her face pressed in close to the old man''s heart;"and thou art sure that they are only fireworks?"
59967how couldst thou frighten her so?"
59967is it not lovely?"
59967is she also a friend?"
59967is she heart- broken?"
59967it is not a fairy tale, father?"
59967or hast thou perhaps found out the name of the little mother?"
59967or shall I give it to thee?"
59967said Violet, opening her eyes suddenly and looking up;"is that true?
59967said Violet, with a sound of such unmistakable dismay in her voice that Fritz looked up surprised;"thou dost not care for Bible stories, Fritz?"
59967said the doctor, turning his eyes slowly away from her and looking at the sealed package on the table close to him;"what have we here?
59967said the doctor;"and there was no name?"
59967screamed Violet passionately;"he is not coming to call my father to the war?
59967she asked curiously;"and why has Fritz not been at school?
59967the splendid Leghorn with the blue silk ribbons?
59967thou shouldst have heard all he said, and the names he called me; because why?
59967thou wilt not even look at it?"
59967what does the child say?"
59967what is it, my poor little girlie?"
59967what is that, and where is it?"
59967what was her name?"
59967what was that other sound without?
59967what?"
59967where art thou?
59967where art thou?"
59967where?"
59967where?"
59967who ever heard of such a thing?"
59967who is that?"
59967who listens to such a chattering magpie?"
59967why art thou crying?
59967why didst thou call so?"
59967why dost thou not answer?"
59967why not now?"
59967will Violet soon have wings?"
59967will he come home soon?"
20071''As yer brought news of Sue, boy?
20071''Ave he missed me yet?
20071''Ow is father?
20071''Ow long''ud they be wicked enough to keep me there fur what I never did?

20071A little, fat, podgy kind o''woman- gel, wid a fine crop o''freckles and sandy hair?

20071And I''ll see him to- night?
20071And did she ever make you go a little, tiny bit in front of her?
20071And did she tell you the names of the poor little critters?
20071And had that''ere Harris much money?
20071And is he coming to see you one day?
20071And she wore a big, big cloak, with pockets inside?
20071And then wot became of you?

20071Burned, father?
20071But Giles-- Giles?
20071But are you strong enough to be moved, Giles?
20071But please-- please,said Ronald, who had suddenly lost all his fear,"may Connie come, too?"
20071But tell me, Ronald,continued Connie,"how was it yer got the fever?"
20071But tell me-- do tell me-- is his father really dead?
20071But what could she do with us?
20071But what do you think, Connie? 20071 But what is she stayin fur?"

20071But wot did you want? 20071 But,"said Connie, her voice trembling,"is he wery, wery ill?"
20071Ca n''t people be like that now?

20071Can I help you, ma''am?
20071Can us see her?
20071Can you bear a bit o''pine?
20071Can you recall his name?
20071Certainly; but where is the boy?
20071Cinderella,he said,"am I to act as yer prince or not?"
20071Connie back?
20071Connie dear, could n''t we send her a message to come straight home to me now? 20071 Connie"--the man''s whole tone altered--"what will you give me if I let you go?"
20071Connie, Connie-- where are we?
20071Connie, if we can unpick the lock and get the door open, where shall we go?
20071Connie, wot were that as I read last?
20071Connie,he said after a minute,"be yer really meanin''to spend the night with me?"
20071Connie,he said after a time,"it''s the worst of all dreadful things, is n''t it, to pretend that you are what you are n''t?"
20071Connie?
20071Could n''t you try?
20071Cut up? 20071 Did yer never yere of a man called Tennyson?
20071Did yer''ear wot he said now?
20071Did you ever see them before? 20071 Did you like it?"
20071Do n''t I know wot a dear little boy wants? 20071 Do n''t fit yer, do n''t they?"
20071Do n''t they? 20071 Do n''t yer think, Cinderella, as it wor_ he_ put the locket in your pocket?"
20071Do n''t yer?
20071Do n''t you think as you could jest keep back to- day, Mary Jones? 20071 Do yer believe that, Sue?"
20071Do yer mean that Giles is goin''--goin''right aw''y?
20071Do yer promise?
20071Do yer think as he''ll come soon?
20071Do yer, promise?
20071Do you mean dead? 20071 Do you really, really think so?"
20071Do you think that matters?
20071Do you think, by chance, that his name was Harvey?
20071Ef yer please, parson, may I speak to yer''bout Giles and me?
20071Eh?
20071Father John,said Ronald--"who is he?"
20071Father,said Connie again,"may I go and spend the night''long o''Giles?
20071Find her?
20071Giles is worse, Pickles,said Connie,"an''wot''s to be done?"
20071Giles, I need n''t, need I? 20071 Has any one come down from the top floor?"
20071Has my father come back?
20071Has my father missed me?
20071Has n''t Connie come back?
20071Have I?
20071Have yer no name for the pore child?
20071Have you a father, Connie?
20071Have you heard from him? 20071 Have you no plan in your head?
20071Have you?
20071He could n''t manage to run away and escape afterwards?
20071Help?
20071How be yer, Ronald?
20071How can you tell that_ was_ what Big Ben said?
20071How can you tell?
20071How could he hear?
20071How is the little chap?
20071How long were you with her, Ronald?
20071How long were you with that woman Warren?
20071I did wot?
20071I do n''t want you to worry yourself, dear; but can you recall anybody ever calling to see your mother-- anybody who might be a relation of yours?
20071I dunno; only Big Ben----"Giles dear, wot_ do_ yer mean?
20071I fond o''poetry?
20071I guessed long ago-- didn''t I, Connie?
20071I make''lowance fur yer tears-- ye''re but a gel, and I allow as the picture''s dark-- but who hever is Giles? 20071 I suppose,"she added,"there''s no doubt in yer moind that I''_ ave_ come from the parients of the boy?"
20071I want to go wid yer; only wot am I to do with Giles?
20071I''m right, ai n''t I?
20071In the woods is he, now?
20071In this room, sir?
20071Is Father John looking for her too?
20071Is he likely to come soon?
20071Is he quite right in the''ead now?
20071Is his name Harvey-- same as mine?
20071Is it Connie Harris?
20071Is it Ronald?
20071Is my father in?
20071Is n''t it cold?
20071Is this real, real country?
20071Is your father in London?
20071Is''e wery bad?
20071It is certainly against the rules, but-- will you stay here for a few minutes and I''ll speak to the ward superintendent?
20071It''s a beautiful verse, is n''t it, Connie?
20071Little Ronald''s a real gent--_''e''s_ the son of a hofficer in''Is Majesty''s harmy, an''the hofficer''s name is Major Harvey, V. C."What?
20071Lor'', now, did he?
20071Lost-- you say? 20071 Lost?"
20071Ma''am,said Connie,"wot do yer mean by his death not bein''confirmed?"
20071May I go, Giles? 20071 May I speak to yer, ma''am?"
20071May I take Connie along, please, sir?
20071May n''t I speak, sir?
20071Mother,interrupted Sue,"does yer think as Providence''ull get me constant work at the sewing, enough to keep Giles and me?"
20071Mr. Harris,said Sue, all of a sudden,"you were cruel to Connie last night; but w''en she comes back again you''ll be different, wo n''t yer?"
20071Must I''ave a new name too?
20071My father guv you your breakfast?
20071Next clue-- shall I''elp yer a bit? 20071 No doubt, my dear,"said the policeman;"but of course you wo n''t object to be searched?"
20071No news of his sister, I suppose?
20071No one has paid her, dear?
20071No talk o''dark rooms and nasty nightmares and cruel old women? 20071 No, madam?"
20071Not there? 20071 Now must I give her a blow, or must I not?"
20071Now, Cinderella,he began,"you say as ye''re hinnercent o''that''ere theft?"
20071Now, Jamie, what do you mean?
20071Now, ai n''t I good?
20071Now, what hever do yer mean by that?
20071Now,said the widow,"what can I do for you?"
20071Of course, there is little doubt that Major Harvey is dead; but you could call at the War Office and inquire, mother, could n''t you?
20071Oh Giles-- wot?
20071Oh, have you got a mother?
20071Oh, how so, Connie?
20071Oh, how will he get in? 20071 Oh, please, father,"said Connie,"ef you be goin''out, may I go''long and pay Giles a wisit?
20071Oh, why-- why did I let her go?
20071Oh, worn''t he?
20071Oh,said Ronald,"do n''t you even know that?

20071You have news of her?
20071You saw Sue to- day?
20071You surely do n''t mean little Connie Harris? 20071 You wo n''t say?
20071You would n''t be inclined, now, that we should have hour talk hover a pint of hot coffee? 20071 You would n''t know your way back again?"
20071You would n''t tell a lie, would you, girl?
20071You''d win the V. C., Ronald, would n''t you, now?
20071You''re not afraid of the streets, my poor little child?

20071Agnes, now, can go and tell yer father, and bring wot clothes yer want to- morrow.--Agnes, yer''ll do that, wo n''t yer?"
20071Ai n''t it natural that Mrs. Warren should want yer to stay now she ha''got yer?
20071Ai n''t it now?"
20071Ai n''t yer hin luck not to be in prison, and ai n''t that a subject for rejoicing?
20071All those things quite forgot?"
20071An''did yer never read that most touching story of the consumptive gel called the''May Queen''?
20071And am I to have naught but grumbles for my pains?
20071And does she find it wery beautiful?"
20071And ef poor, ugly Mammy Warren''ave made herself still uglier for yer sweet sakes,''oo can but love''er for the ennoblin''deed?
20071And may I ax how old you are, my love?"
20071And now, do n''t you feel very anxious about your father and your old friends?"
20071And she come''ere-- and I turned her off?
20071And what amount of money ought I to give you for the woman?"
20071And when''ull she be back?"
20071And where are the stones?
20071And would Father John look for her?
20071And would her own people ever find her?
20071And you would n''t like to give her a kiss fur me?"
20071And''oo''s he?"
20071And''ow''s Giles?"
20071Are you taking me to him?"
20071Are you?
20071As soon as she entered the room he said one word to her--"When?"
20071Be yer fond o''poetry yerself, Agnes?"
20071But I ca n''t remember where the country is-- can you, Connie?"
20071But about Sue?
20071But do you want me to help you?"
20071But now, ca n''t yer guess where she his?"
20071But now, wot do you think of it all?"
20071But where be she?
20071But''ave yer nothing else to say''bout her?"
20071C.?"
20071Ca n''t you take me back to him now-- can''t you?"
20071Can I help you?"
20071Connie was the name of one----""Connie?"
20071Connie, wull yer sing to me?"
20071Could she not get out of that house and go back to Sue and Giles?
20071Cricket?"
20071Dare you?"
20071Did Connie tell you about that?"
20071Did yer never see the country?"
20071Do n''t I work for yer, and toil for yer?
20071Do n''t yer s''pose as yer''ll be advertised?"
20071Do n''t yer think as it''ull break_ his_ heart ef yer is tuk ter prison?
20071Do n''t you believe it?"
20071Do yer mind?"
20071Do you know anything about her?"
20071Do you know why?"
20071Do you promise?"
20071Do you think I''d allow yer to spile yer purty face with the fire beatin''on it?
20071Do you think, Connie, that Mammy Warren could have invented that story about him?"
20071Dressed shabby, no doubt, and wid hard- hearted sisters-- but had n''t she small feet, now?
20071Ere we to betray the hinnercent?"
20071Father did worse things than that-- why should I be afraid?"
20071First, tell me, how is the little lame chap as is fretting fur his sister wot is kept in the country?"
20071Ha''n''t I jest rescued yer from the hands o''that''ere nipper?"
20071Ha''n''t she, stoo- pid?"
20071Had anything happened?
20071Hanythink else?"
20071Harris?"
20071Have you been in a fire?"
20071Have you brought news of Ronald?
20071Have you ever considered what a truly fascinating thing a girl''s hand is?"
20071He''ll be a nice companion for yer, Connie, and yer''ll like that, wo n''t you?"
20071Her father and I are in great trouble about the child----""What child?"
20071How do you do?"
20071How do you s''pose, mother, as the locket did get inter Cinderella''s pocket?"
20071How long?
20071I ca n''t go back, can I, Giles-- can I?"
20071I know all about it: Yer''ll stop that-- d''yer''ear-- d''yer''ear?"
20071I s''pose, as the disguise is ter change me, will it make me beautiful?
20071I think w''en they''re full- grown----""Wot then?"
20071I was not a bit frightened at first, of course, for my father''s boy must n''t be a coward, must he, Connie?"
20071I''d manage so to terrify him aforehand that he''d have ter confess----""And then he''d be put in prison?"
20071I''m going away to a much better place, ai n''t I, Connie?"
20071In his case, that is the best sort of illness, is it not?
20071Is he wery cut up?"
20071Is it in love you be-- an''you not fourteen years of age?
20071Is that other little party alive or dead?
20071Is that what she''s staying fur?"
20071Is the furnace in proper order?"
20071Is there a neighbor who would sit with him?"
20071Is your story quite true, little girl?"
20071It has been a long time-- wery, wery long-- but have I been patient''bout Sue all this long time, Connie?"
20071It said in cheerful tones:"Why have n''t you fire here, and a candle?
20071It''s a little bit hard to be very patient, is n''t it, Connie?"
20071It''s a''most like''eaven to think of the country-- ain''t it, Connie?"
20071Machine- work-- attic work?--Shop?"
20071May I come?"
20071Mr. Harris, wot does yer think?
20071Never neglect a friend-- eh?
20071Not to''ome?"
20071Now speak the truth, full and solemn; be yer hinnercent?"
20071Now then, look spruce, wo n''t yer?"
20071Now then-- yer ai n''t frightened, be yer?"
20071Now, Cinderella, wot kind o''man wor that''ere Peter Harris wot went wid yer to the shop?"
20071Now, Pickles, my boy, wot have you got in the back o''your''ead?
20071Now, do you want to have a shelter for yourself and your little brother to- night?''
20071Now, w''en a stranger seeks yer hout, is n''t it safe to s''pose as he brings news?"
20071Now, will you speak?
20071Now, wot''s yer favorite character?
20071Now-- do yer promise?"
20071Oh, could the awful moment ever come when Giles would look at him with reproachful eyes-- when Giles would turn away from him?
20071Oh, sir, will you, jest because mother did trusten so werry much?"
20071On their way Connie turned innocently to her companion and said:"Why ever did yer say as we lived in Portland Mansions?"
20071One word has been changed from the original to correctly identify the speaker, Agnes, replying to Connie''s question: p. 27 original:"Wot sort?"
20071Or do yer want somethin''better?
20071Please, Father John,_ you_ wo n''t ask me?"
20071Please, please, Pickles, where is she?"
20071Shall I take yer''ome first, or wull yer come with me?"
20071Shall I tell you other things that father did?"
20071Shall I?"
20071Shall us both come in?"
20071She put her hand on my shoulder and said,''Wotever are you doing here?''
20071She went to the door and, before opening it, called out,"Who''s there?"
20071She worn''t a wandering sort o''gel, as neglected her home duties, wor she?"
20071She would n''t''ave tuk all her things ef she meant to come; would she, Ronald?"
20071She''s not a real kind person, is she, Connie?"
20071So late?"
20071Suddenly, however, he winked, and said in a shrill, cheerful tone:"Well, then, plucky''un,''ow does yer find yerself now?"
20071Sue, did you never consider that maybe ef we''re good and patient Lord Christ''ull take us to''eaven any day?"
20071That was''ow I pulled''i m round.--Wasn''t it, Ronald, my dear?"
20071Them be thieves, bean''t they?"
20071There now,''oo''s that a- knockin''at the door?"
20071There, now-- ain''t that fine?"
20071This child is n''t for us; let her alone in future.--Are you ready, Connie?"
20071WHAT WAS HARRIS TO HER?
20071WHAT WAS HARRIS TO HER?
20071Warren''s?"
20071Warren?"
20071Warren?"
20071Warren?"
20071Warren?"
20071Was any one within?
20071Was he drunk?
20071Was it more than a coincidence?
20071Was it the roar of human voices or the roar of something else-- a devouring and awful element?
20071Was she late?
20071Was this another and a rougher way of taking her to the lock- up?
20071Was this queer boy friend or foe?
20071Was this the man she was to be so dreadfully afraid of?
20071Welcome my lass home?
20071Well now, madam, will you see to this?
20071What did the girl mean?
20071What new and dreadful departure was this?
20071What was it?
20071What was the matter?
20071What was the matter?
20071What was this cowardly Harris to her that she should risk so much and suffer so sorely for his sake?
20071What was to be done?
20071What was wrong with pretty Connie, and why did she not go with her?
20071What would she not give to hear his magnificent voice as he preached to the people once again?
20071What would yer mother s''y ef she knew?"
20071What_ did_ Cinderella mean?
20071What_ has_ happened, Connie-- what_ has_ happened?"
20071Where are yer to go to?
20071Where be she?
20071Where could she be?
20071Where in all the world could she be?
20071Where is she?
20071Where was she?
20071Where''ud she be likely ter be?
20071Where?
20071Wherever is my little gel?"
20071Who are you running away from?"
20071Who could tell if his father himself might not have returned, and might not be there, and might not hear him if he sang loud enough and sweet enough?
20071Who, I''d like to know,''ud employ a prison lass-- and what else''ud you be?"
20071Why be you so chuff to poor Sue, and whatever''ave you got to say?"
20071Why did that boy speak like that?
20071Why did yer say so?"
20071Why did you run away?"
20071Why should n''t it be for you?
20071Why was she absent?
20071Why, Connie, ca n''t you guess that we''ve been praying for you?"
20071Why, oh why did not his father come to fetch him?
20071Why, to mother, of course-- where else?"
20071Why?
20071Will it cost you so much money to keep yourself and Giles in that little attic?"
20071Will yer take a message back to Sue?"
20071Will you come in, and I''ll fetch him?"
20071Will you come?"
20071Will you wash first and have a bit of breakfast, or shall I tell you now?"
20071Will you write the note, Connie?"
20071Worn''t Cinderella wot might''ave bin called beautiful?
20071Wot be Giles to me?"
20071Wot could be wrong?
20071Wot did yer do with her, Father John?"
20071Wot do yer take me fur?
20071Wot do yer think I come''ere for so often but jest to comfort the poor thing an''bring her news o''Giles?
20071Wot do yer think Mammy Warren wanted yer for?"
20071Wot''s to be done?
20071Wot''s up?
20071Wotever''s the hour?
20071Wotever''s the matter with yer, Connie?"
20071Wottever is to be done, father?"
20071Wottever is to be done?
20071Wottever''ud take her to the country at this time o''year?"
20071Would Sue be satisfied that Connie was not quite lost?
20071Would any one in all the world think of the little machinist if she sallied forth in purple silk and Paisley shawl?
20071Would he again turn her out into the street?
20071Would he give her up for ever?
20071Would n''t I jest jump at gettin''into your shoes if I could?
20071Would not her own father search heaven and earth to find his only child?
20071Would that long day ever come to an end?
20071Would you like to see her again?"
20071Wull yer do that, Agnes-- wull yer, now?"
20071Yer do n''t think as yer father''ll be''ome to- night, Connie?"
20071Yer want to know who''s_ he_?
20071Yes, she knows all, Sue does; but, Mr. Harris----""Yes; wot have I to say to this tale?
20071You and me wo n''t disgrace our fathers, will we, Giles?"
20071You could n''t help me, now, ter find a guilty party?"
20071You go out arter you ha''been at my house?
20071You ha''never seen little Giles Mason?"
20071You have n''t an idea what it is like, have you?"
20071You know the way there; you wo n''t let yourself be kidnapped any more, will you, Connie?"
20071You know wot to do?"
20071You refuse my goodness?
20071You surely have not been frightening her with the base idea that we would give her up, my boy?"
20071You wants ter live in a cottage in the country, do n''t yer?"
20071You would n''t mind my treating yer, jest fer once, would yer?"
20071You yere me, Connie?
20071You''asn''t, so to speak, lost something lately-- thimble, or a pair of scissors, or something o''that sort?"
20071You''ll take me to see him, and then you''ll bring me back, wo n''t you, Connie?"
20071You_ ai n''t_ goin''to work to- day-- be you, Connie?"
20071_ You would_ like that, would n''t you?"
20071ai n''t the world strange and difficult to live in?
20071and ai n''t it lucky for the kid?
20071and wot''s yer name, boy?"
20071but, mother, may n''t I tell her my own self?
20071continued Mrs. Nelson,"w''y hever should Sue be so late-- and this night, of all nights?"
20071could n''t yer take her a little bit of a present?"
20071have yer heard of her?"
20071how hever could he?"
20071how is he?
20071is she really lost?
20071replacement:"Wot sort?"
20071said Connie--"burglars?
