33510Why, dear Isabella, did you not say so? 33510 --Nonsense,"answered Madeline;"grandpa is not going to the ball himself, and how will he know whether you wear it or not?

33510In what way?
33510Juliet, did you ever see any thing like Ned''s face?
33510Miss Caldwell, you intend to betray us; to disclose the whole plan to Mrs. Middleton?
33510So how could we have any respect for her?
33510So, how can you expect me to be inconsolable?
33510Tell me now, do any of you feel the better for last night''s frolic?
33510Well, Bob, what say you?
33510What, after contributing to the expense of the feast, will you really leave us before it begins, and go dismally to bed?
33510What, wo n''t you give them to me?
33510When Edward took his leave at Madeline''s door, she shook hands with him, saying,"Am I not a wild creature?
33510When shall my happiness begin?
33510Why did grandpapa give you such a short necklace?
33510Why do you look so dubious?
33510Why should I pretend to grieve for aunt Medford when I have never seen her since I was six years old?
33510Will you, for once, be discreet, and refrain from repeating to your aunt Marbury, what you unluckily overheard last evening?"
33510You have caused much mischief; and who has been the gainer?
33510_ Adelaide._ But without application how is it possible to learn?
33510_ Edward._ And who is Madeline Malcolm?
33510_ Edward._ Is it five weeks since you have seen Cecilia Selden?
33510_ Edward._ Is not this the recompense I am entitled to, for keeping your secret?
33510_ Juliet._ And who else?
33510_ Juliet._ But even if I never visit Madeline myself, how shall I prevent her running in to me as she does, two or three times a day?
33510_ Juliet._ But sympathy for your father--_ Madeline._ Why, where is the use of sympathy?
33510_ Juliet._ How?
33510_ Miss Brownlow._ What had you?
33510_ Miss Snodgrass._ And were you not so in reality?
33510_ Miss Thomson._ Did Madame Disette never find you out?
33510_ Miss Wilcox._ But how did you get such nice things in the evening?
33510_ Rogers._"Well, Juliet, how is your friend, Cecilia Selden?"
33510_ Rosalind._ But where is the use of learning every thing before we grow up?
33510_ Rosalind._ Why, then, do you remain in bed?
33510and what is the meaning of all this?"
33510exclaimed Rosamond,"do you think I would be so wicked as to tell aunt Marbury what you have just been saying about her?"
33510or where is the use of twanging and jerking the strings of a harp?
20877''Then where did you get the bag of acorns?'' 20877 Chug- a- rum,"said Great- Grandfather Frog, gruffly,"how should I know?"
20877Chug- a- rum?
20877Did I hear someone say''foolish, green flies?''
20877Did my grandfather a thousand times removed lose the half of his tail, and was it shorter then than mine is now? 20877 Do I see Bowser the Hound?"
20877Do you want me to play with you?
20877Has Johnny Chuck got a new home? 20877 Hello, Jimmy Skunk,"said Peter Rabbit,"ca n''t you see where you are going?
20877How should I know?
20877Now what can be the matter?
20877Now what is Peter Rabbit up to?
20877Reddy Fox and Jimmy Skunk and Billy Mink are sure to bring somethink[ Transcriber''s note: something?] 20877 Well, what if I have, Peter Rabbit?"
20877What are you laughing at?
20877What are you running so for, Peter Rabbit?
20877What are you talking about, old Mr. Toad? 20877 What can you do, Jimmy Skunk?"
20877What does Mr. Toad do with his old suit, Grandfather Frog?
20877What is it that you want me to do for you, Danny Meadow Mouse?
20877What is it you want this morning?
20877What is it?
20877What''s all this about?
20877What''s the matter, Bumble?
20877When they reached the nut trees, what do you suppose they discovered? 20877 Where is Reddy Fox?"
20877Where, Little Breeze, where?
20877Who has seen Bobby Coon?
20877Who stole Happy Jack''s nuts? 20877 Will you tell us why it is that Hooty the Owl never comes out to play with us on the Green Meadows?"
20877You wo n''t tell any one?
20877You wo n''t tell, will you, Peter Rabbit?
20877''What are you toting in the bag across your shoulder?''
20877''Where are all my little meadow people and why do they not come to give me greeting?''
20877''Will you do a favor for me?''
20877And how did he come to lose the half of it?"
20877And presently Grandfather Frog began:"Once upon a time-- a long, long while ago--""When the world was young?"
20877And was that thing dragging behind him his splendid tail?
20877And what would he do to him?
20877And what''s the good of climbing trees anyway?
20877But what was a big mouth for if not to use?
20877Could it be Reddy Fox?
20877Do you know what it is?
20877I like, so what is the use of spending my time hunting for what someone else will get for me?"
20877It must be you have something on your mind; what is it?"
20877Now what did Grandfather Frog mean by that?"
20877Now, what do you think is the name of this little bush?
20877Sure enough, where was Reddy Fox?
20877Toad?"
20877Toad?"
20877Was all their fun to end in something terrible to sunny- hearted, merry Johnny Chuck, whom everybody loved?
20877Was it, old Mr. Toad?
20877What are you crying for?"
20877What are you talking about?"
20877What do you think they were doing?
20877What should he do with it?
20877What should he do?
20877What was there he could do better than any one else?
20877What''s the matter with you?"
20877Where are you going in such a hurry?"
20877Where is it?"
20877Where were his white waistcoat and beautiful red coat?
20877Where?
20877Will you, Grandfather Frog-- will you?"
20877Would Reddy Fox catch Johnny Chuck?
20877said Johnny Chuck to himself,"and what does he keep looking behind him for?"
20877said Johnny Chuck to himself,"to send Peter Rabbit after Bowser the Hound?"

16046And what do you think she put all around the flower bed?
16046At last Edith stopped laughing and began to sing:"Old woman, old woman, Old woman, said I. Oh whither, oh whither, Oh whither so high?
16046At last Miss Smith said,"Shall we have a Christmas tree this year in school?"

163Dear Thistle, what mean these fair things, and why are we in this lovely place?
163Do you not know that Spring is coming? 163 Do you suffer much, dear Gauzy- Wing?"
163Harebell, if a silkworm spin one yard of Fairy cloth in an hour, how many will it spin in a day?
163Have you a tale for us too, dear Violet- Eye?
163Heed,said the mother rose,"daughter mine, Why shouldst thou seek for beauty not thine?
163How beautiful they are,whispered Eva,"but, dear Rose- Leaf, why do you keep them here, and why call you this your fairest sight?"
163How shall I find the Spirits in this great sea, with none to help or guide me? 163 I am here, what would you with me, little Spirit?"
163Now, Star- Twinkle, what have you to teach?
163Now, little Sunbeam, what have you to tell us?
163Primrose, where lies Violet Island?
163Rosebud, if a Cowslip opens three leaves in one day and four the next, how many rosy leaves will there be when the whole flower has bloomed?
163Thistle, dear Thistle, where are you?
163Twinkle, if there lay nine seeds within a flower- cup and the wind bore five away, how many would the blossom have?
163What do they here?
163What do you seek with me, fair little Spirit, that you come so bravely here amid my ice and snow? 163 What shall we do to you, naughty Elf?"
163Where have you brought me, and what mean these lovely sounds?
163Who are you, lovely little thing?
163Why are you all so gay, dear birds?
163Why are you so slow in blooming, little one? 163 And can I, heedless of their beauty, doom them to pain and grief, that I might save my own dear blossoms from the cruel foes to which I leave them? 163 But shall I never see YOU more? 163 But while I eat, tell me, dear Violet, why are you all so sad? 163 But, dear sisters, see you not how high the sun is getting? 163 Do you ride on butterflies, sleep in flower- cups, and live among the clouds?
163Do you see yonder lovely spirit singing with my sister Moonlight?
163Have they not won their lovely home?
163Here he lay weeping bitterly, till a voice beside him said,"Poor little Elf, what has befallen you?
163How could you harm the little helpless one, that never did aught to injure you?"
163How then may we keep our frail blossoms from his cruel spirits?
163I have scarce seen a happy face since my return from Rose Land; dear friend, what means it?"
163May I not go in?"
163My four are here, and this also; what think you of it?"
163Now will you stay with us, and learn what even mortals seek to know, that labor brings true happiness?"
163Now, Eglantine, what have you to tell us of your rosy namesakes on the earth?"
163Order, patience, industry, who can teach so well as they who are the emblems of these virtues?
163Ought we then to leave them to die uncared for and alone?
163The earth is broad, and we can find them in any land, then why should you care what happens to their kindred if your own are safe?
163Then shouldst thou not be grateful for all this kindly care, And strive to keep thyself most innocent and fair?
163Then why dost thou take with such discontent The loving gift which he to thee hath sent?
163Then, when he sees them fading on his breast, will he not sigh that there is no warmth there to keep them fresh and lovely?
163They give to us their all; ought we not to toil unceasingly, that they may bloom in peace within their quiet homes?
163Where can this fine egg have come from?
163Who will be our messenger for the last time?
163Who will give us counsel?
163Will you be King of Flower- Land, and own my gentle kindred for your loving friends?
163Will you do this?"
163Will you give it me for what I offer, little Spirit?"
163Will you possess unfading peace and joy, and the grateful love of all the green earth''s fragrant children?
163answered Violet sadly,"do you not know that beneath the flowers''bright leaves there beats a little heart that loves and sorrows like our own?
163good little Fairy, will you teach me how?"
163is it another and a lovelier dream, or is the earth in truth so beautiful as this?"
163she asked, as their cheerful voices sounded far and near;"is there a festival over the earth, that all is so beautiful and bright?"
163sighed the weary little Spirit,"shall I never see the light again, or feel the warm winds on my cheek?
14958''Oh, Mother Nature, how can I ever thank you?'' 14958 ''Then why do n''t you build you a fine house on the land?''
14958''What good does it do to wash my food, if I eat it out of dirty hands?'' 14958 ''What were you thinking about so hard?''
14958A reminder of what?
14958An''do Ah understand that all of your fam''ly have red haids?
14958But what, Grandfather Frog?
14958But who taught his mammy?
14958Do n''t you know that it is very impolite to disturb people when they are having a nap?
14958Do n''t you suppose I know what I hear?
14958Do you mean to say that you do n''t know?
14958Has Grandfather Frog been telling a story?
14958I mean, where is your house?
14958If you please, Grandfather Frog, why does Reddy Fox wear a red coat?
14958If you please, Grandfather Frog, why does n''t Mr. Greensnake wink at us when we wink at him?
14958If you please, how does your cousin happen to have a black head?
14958Is Buzzard really your fam''ly name?
14958May Ah ask yo''a question, Brer Buzzard?
14958Now, why do you go over to the sweet- clover patch every day?
14958Of course I know you live in the Smiling Pool, but where is your house? 14958 Oh, Grandfather Frog, why is it that Jimmy Skunk never hurries?"
14958Oh, Grandfather Frog,he panted, as soon as he reached the edge of the Smiling Pool,"has Buster Bear got a tail?"
14958What do you wonder?
14958What is the reason that you stay in the dear Old Briar- patch when Reddy Fox is around?
14958When the world was young?
14958Where do you live?
14958Where do you live?]
14958Why do n''t you fold your hands the way I do, Peter Rabbit?
14958Why does Miner the Mole live under ground all the time?
14958Why does Reddy wear a red coat?
14958Why not?
14958Why not?
14958Will you tell me if I come again some time when you are not so sleepy?
14958Will you tell us next time why Bobby Coon wears rings on his tail?
14958You would suppose that he would have mended him ways, would n''t you?
14958''Can it be possible that any one really lives here?''
14958And as they danced they sang:"Who is it hops and skips and jumps?
14958Can you guess what it is?
14958Could n''t you see whether or not he has a tail?"
14958Do you suppose they can wink?"
14958Funny place to build a house, is n''t it?"
14958HE SHOUTED,"WHERE DO YOU LIVE?"
14958Have you noticed how very plump he looks?''
14958He had just seen Buster Bear for the first time, and what do you think had impressed him most?
14958He had n''t said a word to any one about Spotty, so how could Grandfather Frog know what he had come for?
14958He was perfectly happy and satisfied there, and what is there in life better than to be happy and satisfied?"
14958I wonder--""Well, what do_ you_ wonder?"
14958I wonder--""What do you wonder?"
14958If you please, how did you know that I was coming and what I was coming for?"
14958If you wanted to know about Spotty the Turtle, why did n''t you come earlier?"
14958Is it in the bank or down under water?"
14958It pays to make the best of what we have, does n''t it?"
14958Muskrat?''
14958Now what do you think, Peter Rabbit?"
14958She said a lot of nice things to him, and when at last she sent him away, what do you think she had given him?"
14958So what do you think he did?
14958Then very slowly he asked:"What are your eyes for, Peter Rabbit?
14958Then what do yo''think Mistah Buzzard do?
14958They danced over to him and formed a ring around him while they sang:"Who is it never, never hurries?
14958Unc''Billy Possum''s grandfather a thousand times removed was--""Was this way back in the days when the world was young?"
14958Well, what is it this time?"
14958What are you looking so wistful for, Peter Rabbit?"
14958What do you mean by frightening an old fellow like me this way?"
14958What ever can I do?''
14958What is it this time?"
14958What is it you want to know now?"
14958What shall I do?''
14958What will we do with him?''
14958What would you do with a big tail, if you had one?
14958What''s the matter with the coat I have got, Peter Rabbit?
14958Where are your manners, Peter Rabbit, that you forget to speak to your elders?"
14958Where else should I live?"
14958Who is it dearly loves to play, But when there''s danger runs away?
14958Who is it does just what he pleases, Just like us Merry Little Breezes?
14958Who is it never, never worries?
14958Who is it sometimes loudly thumps?
14958Who''s got a handsomer one?"
14958Why did n''t we think of him before?"
14958Why not make Mr. Lynx think he had a lot of friends with him?
14958Why was it that Unc''Billy Possum played dead instead of trying to run away when he was surprised by his enemies?
14958Would you like to know how he comes by such a queer tail?"
27085A million what?
27085All six of you and your balloons, where you going?
27085And now will you answer the second question second-- why do you have two freckles on your chin?
27085And now,he asked his mittens,"shall I take you off or keep you on?
27085And the tin copper cup?
27085And the wooden mug?
27085And where do you go when you get back where you came from?
27085And why do you have a little thimble on the top button of your coat?
27085And will you tell me how they get back to the moon after they slide down the toboggan?
27085Are you going to blow loose the tin brass goat on my roof?
27085Are you going to blow loose the tin brass goose on my roof?
27085But what if you want a hat when you are frying with the frying pan?
27085Did I understand,he said, speaking to Mrs. Bimber, Blixie Bimber''s mother,"do I understand you sent for me to clean the cistern in your back yard?"
27085Do I sniff something or do I not?
27085Do n''t you never get tired?
27085Do n''t you never have no new style hats?
27085Do you know what we got here under our left elbow?
27085Has never the father or mother nor the uncle or aunt nor the kith and kin of Flim the Goose told him the what and the which of this?
27085How are you a millionaire?
27085How did it begin?
27085How do you do it?
27085How do you mean diamond rabbits?
27085How like mascots?
27085I asked them,''Whose place is this?'' 27085 Is there anything I can do?"
27085May I ask you again if you would kindly direct us to the union depot? 27085 One of his feet is bigger than the other-- how can you keep steady company with him?"
27085Sad?
27085So far? 27085 The aluminum dishpan and the galvanized iron washtub-- what are they doing by the side of you on both sides on the sidewalk?"
27085They all watch for me,he said to himself,"I am distinquished-- am I not?"
27085What do you do when the parasols are gone?
27085What do you do?
27085What for?
27085What was it-- what happened?
27085What was your dream of the white moon toboggan?
27085Where is the aluminum dishpan?
27085Where is the galvanized iron washtub?
27085Where you going?
27085Which is this, who are they and why do they come?
27085Who fixes it for the pigs to have bibs on?
27085Who is that away up there in the sky climbing like a bird in the morning?
27085Who told it to you?
27085Who wants fleems?
27085Who-- hoo- hoo? 27085 Why do you go with him for steady company?"
27085Why do you keep steady company with him? 27085 Why do you wear that frying pan on your head?"
27085Why is it so bitter cold weather?
27085Why so?
27085Why?
27085Why?
27085Will he ever come down again back to his own people?
27085After a while they began asking each other in the cool of the evening after they had eggs for breakfast in the morning,"Who''s who?
27085And he said to them,"Tell me why are balloons-- that is what I want you to tell me-- why are balloons?"
27085And they would answer,"Yes, and are the mountains standing yet way out yonder where you come from, Wind?"
27085And what''s the answer?"
27085And you must n''t be surprised if the ticket agent wipes sleep from his eyes and asks,"So far?
27085Early in the night the first baby blue fox said to the second,"Who are the snow ghosts the ghosts of?"
27085Have you ever stood in Illinois or Iowa and watched the late summer wind or the early fall wind running across a big cornfield?
27085How do I know?
27085How do I know?"
27085How much?
27085If we meet a corn fairy how will we know it?"
27085In the morning I said,''Good morning, zizzies, did you have a good sleep last night and pleasant dreams?''
27085It was no time for an honest ragman to be knocking on people''s back doors, saying,"Any rags?"
27085It_ was_ a grand procession, do n''t you think so?
27085On the spoons, what did they have?
27085One said,''I got pumpkins-- what did you get?''
27085So I ask you, will you take care of Poker Face the Baboon and Hot Dog the Tiger?"
27085So early?
27085So early?
27085So soon?"
27085So soon?"
27085The four uncles said to her,"Will you let us ask you two questions, first the first question and second the second question?"
27085Then the uncles asked her the first question first,"Where do you come from?"
27085Who marched in the procession?
27085Who-- who-- who?"
27085Young Leather said to Red Slippers,"What is the best secret we have come across this summer?"
27085[ Illustration: Away off where the sun was coming up, there were people and animals]"Do you ask me because you wish me to tell you?"
27085and the second question second,"Why do you have two freckles on your chin?"
27085any bones?
27085any bones?"
27085any bottles?
27085any bottles?
27085any copper, brass, old shoes all run down and no good to anybody to- day?
27085any old clothes, old coats, pants, vests?
27085any old iron?
27085or else saying"Any rags?
27085or else saying,"Any rags?
39706''Good morning, Mr. Porcupine, what brings you out so early?'' 39706 And if there was what good would it do you?
39706Are you going to build it all of mud?
39706Did you speak to me?
39706Do n''t you know that I''m afraid of nothing and nobody?
39706Do n''t you know?
39706Do n''t you want to take a walk with me this fine morning?
39706Do n''t you wish it was yours?
39706Do you know where Striped Chipmunk lives?
39706Do you know where Striped Chipmunk lives?
39706Do you know where Striped Chipmunk lives?
39706Do you mean to say that you''ve just discovered him? 39706 Do you think he is in here now?"
39706Do you want us to go find a breakfast for you?
39706Good morning, Johnny Chuck,panted the first Merry Little Breeze to reach him,"have you heard the news?"
39706Have n''t you anything better to do than make bashful little flowers hang their heads?
39706Have you been to see Jimmy Skunk?
39706Have you seen any beetles this morning?
39706Hi, Johnny Chuck, have you heard the news?
39706Hi, Striped Chipmunk, what are you so busy about? 39706 How are you going to prepare for the long cold winter, Jerry Muskrat?"
39706How did you ever guess it?
39706How do you like my sand pile, Peter Rabbit? 39706 How long will your mother be gone?"
39706However am I going to know when they leave?
39706I know that already,replied Johnny,"but, please, what is it?"
39706I wonder what it seems like not to be afraid of anything in the world?
39706If you''re so brave, why do n''t you drive him out, Reddy Fox?
39706Is Mr. Blacksnake so very dangerous?
39706Is n''t there a short cut so that I can get home before my mother does?
39706Nor Bowser the Hound?
39706Not of old Granny Fox?
39706Now who''s the coward?
39706Oh,said Peter Rabbit, apparently in the greatest surprise,"is this your sand pile, Striped Chipmunk?
39706Please, Peter Rabbit, is it very much farther to the sweet- clover patch?
39706Pooh,said Billy Mink,"how can Jerry Muskrat know anything more about it than we do?"
39706Sammy Jay, are you deaf?
39706Say, Johnny,he whispered,"how is she going to know whether you stay in the yard all the time or not, so long as you are here when she gets home?
39706WHO ARE YOU?
39706We warned Farmer Brown and his boy and his hired man; what more can we do?
39706What are you doing with my fish?
39706What are you doing with those alder twigs, Billy Mink?
39706What are you laughing at, Danny Meadow Mouse?
39706What are you looking for, Peter Rabbit? 39706 What business have you in our Green Forest?"
39706What do you keep doing that for, Peter Rabbit?
39706What do you want me to do, Johnny Chuck?
39706What is an Easter egg rolling?
39706What is it? 39706 What is it?"
39706What is it?
39706What news?
39706What shall I tell you about?
39706What was that?
39706What''s the matter with him?
39706What''s the matter, Peter Rabbit, what''s the matter?
39706What''s the matter?
39706What''s the matter?
39706Where are you going?
39706Where is your new home, Striped Chipmunk?
39706Where''s your old clover patch?
39706Where?
39706Who are you?
39706Who are you?
39706Who is Old Whitetail?
39706Who is he, Reddy Fox?
39706Why not? 39706 Will you do something for me, Bumble?"
39706Will you do something for me?
39706Will you do something for me?
39706''What do you find to eat these hard times?''
39706And what do you think?
39706Are you clerk of the weather?
39706Could he be a relative of Happy Jack Squirrel?
39706Could he have left as mysteriously as he had come?
39706Could it be that Jumper the Hare, the coward, had dared to strike him such a blow?
39706Could it be that the stranger was not afraid of him?
39706Do n''t you think it is a pretty nice sand pile?"
39706Do you agree?"
39706Had the world turned topsy- turvy while he slept?
39706Have you lost something?"
39706If Mr. Blacksnake should happen to call, do n''t mention that you have seen me, will you, Johnny Chuck?"
39706If he did he would surely be lost, and then what should he do?
39706Is this where you live?"
39706It is only fall now-- what can you know about what the winter will be?
39706Looking up to see where it came from he saw-- what do you think?
39706Makes a nice sand pile, does n''t it?
39706Now what does Peter Rabbit want of eggs?"
39706Once more Peter Rabbit closed his eyes, but hardly were they shut when Striped Chipmunk shouted:"Oh, you Peter Rabbit, been out all night?"
39706Over and over, faster and faster, he rolled down the green, grassy bank until he landed-- where do you think?
39706Panther?''
39706Peeping between the stems of sweet- clover he saw-- what do you think?
39706Peter Rabbit yawned lazily as he replied:"What''s the use of going now?
39706Pheasant?"
39706Please wo n''t you show me the way home, Peter Rabbit?"
39706Quack?"
39706Toad?"
39706What are you doing anyway?"
39706What did it mean?
39706What do you think he found when he got there?
39706What do you want of an egg, Peter Rabbit?
39706What does Jimmy Skunk have to do with eggs?"
39706What is all that fuss about over in the big pine?"
39706What new danger could there be now?
39706What should he do?
39706What_ is_ the matter, Peter Rabbit?"
39706Where was the Big Rock?
39706Where were the bulrushes and where-- where was the_ Smiling Pool_?
39706Where were the slippery slide and Jerry Muskrat''s new house?
39706Where''d you come from?"
39706Why do n''t you help put the fire out?"
39706Why do n''t you play a little?"
39706Will you please?"
39706Will you tell us a story, Grandfather Frog?
39706Wo n''t your mother let you?"
39706Would the little red flames burn up Johnny Chuck, as they burned up the grass and the flowers?
4357Am I not a great magician? 4357 Am I really different in some way from all the others?
4357Are there, then, no bandits in Chicago?
4357Are they armed?
4357Are you Jane Gladys Brown?
4357Are you happy now?
4357Are you sure you have made them strong enough?
4357Are you willing to pay for such accomplishments?
4357Are you?
4357But how did you get here?
4357But what are we to do now?
4357Ca n''t I marry a mother, instead?
4357Ca n''t you marry her yourself?
4357Cab, ma''am?
4357Can any of you read?
4357Could you give me something to cure my rheumatism?
4357Did he put the pump in the well?
4357Did n''t you burn the paper?
4357Did you call the police?
4357Do you give up?
4357Ever ben to school?
4357Have you changed two of them into pigs?
4357Have you, indeed?
4357How can a butterfly serve a man?
4357How could a wax dummy run away?
4357How did I happen to catch you?
4357How did you get in?
4357How do you know? 4357 How do you spell Gladys?"
4357How much am I offered for the coronet of the queen of Quok?
4357How shall I do that?
4357How will you do it?
4357How?
4357If I could change a child into a pig by touching it with the magic compound, what could I change a pig into, I wonder?
4357If it were the fashion to wear knooks perched upon women''s hats would you be contented to stay there? 4357 Is everybody going crazy at the same time?"
4357Is n''t it hard work?
4357Is that private fortune you mentioned large enough to repay her?
4357Mine, did you say?
4357No; what''s school?
4357Oh, you do? 4357 Pink is a pretty color,"said the wizard,"and it''s unusual for a dog, is n''t it?"
4357Then what shall I do?
4357Then what shall we do for a living?
4357Then who shall take his place?
4357Then you think the beetle stole the money?
4357They have guns and swords and pistols and axes and-- and--"And what?
4357What about it?
4357What amuses you?
4357What are they for?
4357What are you going to do?
4357What did you do before I gave you the money?
4357What do you suppose possessed the author to make you so hungry for girls? 4357 What do you use that scythe for?"
4357What do you want?
4357What does it mean to be killed?
4357What for?
4357What have we to do with fashions, anyway?
4357What shall we do now?
4357What sort of a dog?
4357What will happen if I give up?
4357What''re ye doin''hear, ye rascal?
4357What''s that?
4357What''s that?
4357What''s that?
4357What''s wrong with you?
4357What, then, shall we do?
4357What?
4357Where did you get the magic compound that cured me?
4357Where is the coronet?
4357Which of us are you going to attack first?
4357Who are you?
4357Why can not you blow me a dog out of glass?
4357Why did n''t he stop her?
4357Why did n''t you stay in the book, where you were put?
4357Why have you treated me so cruelly and set the glass dog on me?
4357Why is it that I''m able to move around while everyone else is-- is-- froze up?
4357Why should I?
4357Why?
4357Why?
4357Will one drop cure my rheumatism?
4357Will you return to me in a year and a day and become my captive, if I allow you to escape?
4357Wo n''t you let me go now?
4357Would you mind, miss, if I just crossed the alley to speak a word to Mrs. Carleton''s girl?
4357Yet you like to live, do you not?
4357You are my friends, are you not?
4357You did n''t expect anything of this sort, did you?
4357And why not?"
4357But I''m a frightful looking creature, nevertheless; am I not?"
4357But what is your errand?"
4357But, tell me, why do you come each day to the brook?"
4357Ca n''t you see what you''ve done?"
4357Can a dummy live?"
4357Can a dummy talk?
4357Can a dummy walk?
4357Can you tell us of a secret cave?"
4357Did you ever hear such superb music?"
4357Do n''t you know who I am?"
4357Do n''t you suppose Mr. Grizzly, you could manage to eat a clown, a donkey and a monkey after you finish the girl?"
4357Do you eat animals, also?"
4357Do you promise?"
4357For how are we to be bandits, let me ask, unless we are wicked?"
4357Have you ever been one yourself?"
4357He looked angry and annoyed, however, and growled out:"Well, when do you intend to release me?"
4357How am I going to live if the chief counselor returns to Mary Ann Brodjinski her millions?"
4357How would Nyana look after you have pulled her teeth of pearls, plucked out her amethyst eyes and shaved her golden head?"
4357I do n''t suppose you want to make an end of all business and pleasure, and war and love, and misery and ambition and everything else, do you?
4357If that artist did n''t know how to draw properly why did he try to make a donkey at all?"
4357Immediately thereafter he spoke to the butterfly in its own language, saying:"Why did you enter this room?"
4357Is her name really in the book?"
4357Is that all you want?"
4357Now, I called on him the other day and asked him to buy the''Complete Works of Peter Smith,''and what do you suppose he did?"
4357Now, then, what do you want?"
4357Now, then,"he added, crossly,"are you going to get that rope off?"
4357The robbers looked at one another with genuine alarm, and Lugui asked, tremblingly:"Are there many of them?"
4357The sister, knowing the shriek to be one of fear, leaped upon a chair and exclaimed:"What is it?
4357Then, recovering from her alarm, she again bent over the beetle, who answered her:"Why should n''t I talk, if I have anything to say?
4357Well-- what are you staring at?
4357What color of glass shall I use?"
4357What do you think of such treatment as that from the''best papa in the world,''eh?"
4357What is it?"
4357What is it?"
4357What law is there, among birds or knooks, that requires us to be the slaves of fashion?"
4357What shall I do?"
4357When the butterfly flew in at the door of the mandarin''s laundry he asked, eagerly:"Well, did you meet a child?"
4357Where are your wings?"
4357Where else could real money come from?"
4357Where is it?"
4357Who ever before heard of a feathered polar bear?"
4357Why, O Jolly One, did you fall into my hole?
4357Wot''ll ye''ave?"
4357You know children, do you not?--boys and girls?"
4357asked Gouie,"or do you still wish to fight?"
4357cried the butcher, angrily;"did n''t ye promise to put that beast inter Plympton''s pasture?
4357cried the glass- blower, throwing down the rope,"have you really such a thing?"
4357moaned the girl;"why did Uncle Walter ever send you here in this chest?"
4357what is it?"
4357what is the matter now?"
33927''Goody,''said he,''can you tell me what will mend a Fairy''s broken wing?'' 33927 ''Has no one gone by?''
33927''Is it your wing that is broken?'' 33927 ''Which way did he go?''
33927''Who speaks?'' 33927 ''Who will kill you?''
33927''Who?'' 33927 A dear child,"he said;"not a bit ashamed of the old folks, was she?
33927A verse?
33927And did_ he_ ever come back?
33927And why did n''t they go to work on the mine at once?
33927And why did you come?
33927Are there any woodpeckers of such and such a species?
33927Are we really?
33927Are you proud of me?
33927Ashamed of you and Aunt? 33927 Bible?"
33927But why not?
33927Ca n''t you tell me now?
33927Can you? 33927 Could n''t he have tied it up and boiled it in milk?"
33927Could she have stolen anything?
33927Did you, really?
33927Do n''t you feel well?
33927Do you know the forest well, and the paths?
33927Do you live here?
33927Do you mean God?
33927Do you really want a stepmother to come in and scold and interfere and spoil all our comfort? 33927 Do you remember how you laughed at the idea, Polly, and said it would be horrid?"
33927Fur?
33927Getting acquainted with the new mamma?
33927Have you the large lunar moth here? 33927 Hepsy, ai n''t supper nearly ready?
33927Hessie, dear, do n''t you know Roger?
33927Hide it? 33927 How can I help it?"
33927How many candles may we have?
33927How will you go to work?
33927How will you send it?
33927How_ does_ it look?
33927I say,began Reuben, who, if he had lived to- day, would have put on his cards"Reuben Marsh, 4th,""what do you think?
33927If the wind were right for it, why should n''t it come this way? 33927 Is it true?"
33927Is n''t it pretty?
33927Is n''t there any such thing, then?
33927Janet,said Mr. Keene, in a voice of displeasure,"what do you mean by calling your mother''Jerusha''?"
33927May n''t we go to bed now?
33927Now, Missy, dear, whatever do you mean by that? 33927 Oh, children, how can you talk so?"
33927Oh, is that the Gale farm, where the silver- mine is said to be?
33927Patty, dear child, where are you?
33927Roger,said the indignant Barbara,"how dare you speak so?
33927Said what?
33927Shall I step down to Hussey''s, and get a shell for you to practise on?
33927She''s a beauty, ai n''t she? 33927 Should you be proud of me if I showed presence of mind?"
33927That was a silly thing for her to do, was n''t it, Bunny? 33927 The new parasol?
33927Was n''t it funny,giggled Dimple,"his telling Pa to fix a lunch?"
33927Was that to please the others?
33927Was there a row of things close by, with tin funnels stuck in them and a cloth over the top?
33927Well, my dears,he cried,"how do you do?
33927Well? 33927 Well?"
33927Well?
33927What can it be? 33927 What did he mean?"
33927What djinnee, what imp of Eblis hath brought thee here?
33927What is it for?
33927What is it? 33927 What is presence of mind, any way?"
33927What is that which is so fascinating?
33927What is the matter? 33927 What is the matter?
33927What will you wear?
33927What''s the matter, dear?
33927What_ is_ he going to do?
33927Where are the children?
33927Where did Jean find the bed?
33927Where did you sit that day, Amy?
33927Where is this?
33927Who is this Miss Maskelyne? 33927 Why are you all alone?"
33927Why does Papa want to marry her, if she''s so horrid?
33927Why is the door open?
33927Why must n''t I?
33927Why, of course; but do you think you can afford it, Robert? 33927 Why, what are you in a hurry about?"
33927Why, what have they done?
33927Why, what''s the matter?
33927Why-- why-- what is the creature at?
33927Will you please bring me some, and leave it by my door? 33927 Wo n''t this do for a trimming, or would you rather have it as it is?"
33927Y- es--"Or would they rather have helped in the work, and did you keep it to yourself because you liked to do it alone?
33927You do n''t think there is any danger of its coming this way, do you?
33927''Yes,''says they,''but what?''
33927And I wanted to ask you about something, and that is what you''d think of Amy''s having one of the dolls for her Christmas?
33927And how much do you think there was?
33927Are there any small things?
33927Are they from you, Mary, darling?
33927Are you alive, or only making believe?
33927At last, in a faint little voice, she half whispered,"Where is this?"
33927But it was n''t the fox that time; it was a teeny- weeny little striped squirrel, and he just said,''It''s a sightly day, is n''t it?''
33927Can we go to the wedding, do you suppose, Patty?"
33927Can you tell me where to look for_ Campanila rhomboidalis_?"
33927Did it ever occur to you what a difference there is in the way in which people use their eyes?
33927Did n''t your ma tell you?
33927Did you arrange them, Janet?
33927Did you ever hear of the famous conjurer Robert Houdin, whose wonderful tricks and feats of magic were the astonishment of Europe a few years ago?
33927Did you see her, Mamma?"
33927Do n''t you know one?"
33927Do n''t you think it''d please her?"
33927Do n''t you think that would be nice?"
33927Do n''t you want to go and help them?"
33927Do you suppose Fairies like to have their wings boiled?
33927Do you want some one else to tell you what to do, and make you mind, instead of me?
33927Do you want to know more about little Effie?
33927Does n''t it seem hard, Mother?
33927For was it not Bunny who broke the long spell of evil fate, and brought good luck back to the Gale family?
33927Had he not saved two"people,"one very small and hard, and the other very big and soft?
33927Half of her was made in this house, did you know that?
33927Have you made up any story yet, Eunice?"
33927Her wish was granted, and was n''t it strange that it should have been granted just_ so_?
33927How could the doll know?
33927How did you come down here, sir?"
33927How fared it meanwhile in the forest slopes above?
33927How much is a greenback, Dot?"
33927How will this do?"
33927I wonder what did make me behave so?
33927I''m not mean; what makes you say I am?
33927If you call a heavy muffin''awful,''what are you going to say about an earthquake or tornado?"
33927Is it a feast that you decide upon?
33927Is it a story, and when did it all happen?"
33927Is it a_ musiker fest_?
33927It does not sound much like the beginning of a story, does it?
33927It is but to fetch the wine now, and then fall to, eh, Landlady?"
33927It was just like-- Oh, what''s that, Bunny?"
33927It''s no use talking about it, Roger; it only makes both of us feel bad.--Did you kill the''broilers''for the hotel?"
33927Mother, why does n''t good luck ever come to us Gales?"
33927Must we call her mother?"
33927Nay, then; wherefore is he not in bed where we left him?
33927Now you''ve waked up, would you like some nice milk to drink?"
33927Now, Missy, how came you to do that?
33927Now, Nursey, own up: Mrs. Thanet was n''t so far wrong, now was she?"
33927Shall I put on my pink or my olive frock this morning?"
33927She looks wonderfully alive, does n''t she, Mother?"
33927Should you think it would be lonely to live so?
33927The dolls are five dollars, are n''t they?"
33927The odd thing was, that the bundle seemed to have legs, and to kick; or was it the wind blowing the old woman''s cloak about?
33927Was it the red horse?
33927What can it be?
33927What did the voice say?
33927What do they want to change for?
33927What do you mean, Aunty?"
33927What do you think of that?
33927What do you think"this"was?
33927What kind of a person is she?
33927What makes you want to know, midget?"
33927What should she do?
33927What was it, indeed?
33927What was it?
33927Where was your Pa, Missy,--and Hiram?"
33927Who gave you the right, I mean?"
33927Who''s to put him in for you, I wonder?"
33927Why do n''t you come and kiss your new mamma?"
33927Why do you speak so to me?
33927Why should you always be queen on Mamma''s birthday?
33927Why?
33927Wo n''t that be fun?
33927You''d be sorry if I gave it up, would n''t you?
33927You''ve had a long sleep, have n''t you, dear?
33927child of sin, contaminated by the unbeliever, is it indeed thou?"
33927is it going to be very awful?"
33927she cried, jumping up;"so that''s the way you treat your little brother, is it?
33927she cried,"what are you doing here?
33927she''s so lovely and so beautiful, but if she keeps on talking like this, what shall I do?"
33927what is that?"
33927why do you wish you were dead?"
30953And which of these is your''ouse, sir?
30953And why should I_ not_ get married?
30953And you an army officer?
30953And you like that?
30953And you_ like_ this?
30953Are n''t you sure, Nolan?
30953Are there any more?
30953Are you a customer of ours?
30953Are you serious?
30953Breeder?
30953But how,he demanded,"how do I get ashore?"
30953But then it will be too late, do n''t you understand?
30953But what will Mr. Wyndham do?
30953But why?
30953But_ how_?
30953Could n''t I jest get a peep at it?
30953Date of birth?
30953Did he ask what have the American rebels ever done for me?
30953Did you see that puppy I gave first to?
30953Do n''t_ you_ go camping out?
30953Do you know them?
30953Do you know who I am? 30953 Do you object to the way he makes it?"
30953Do you suppose I''d come here on purpose?
30953Do you think you ai n''t a- going to take me with you?
30953Do you want us to lose our money?
30953Does any gentleman here want to buy a dog,he says,"to make into sausage- meat?"
30953Have you ever shown him before?
30953He''s''Unknown,''ai n''t he? 30953 Him?"
30953How would you like to see the most beautiful dogs in the world? 30953 How''d you get here?"
30953If you do n''t want anything, why are you holding me up?
30953If you''re going to Hunter''s Island why did n''t you take the Third Avenue to Pelham Manor?
30953Is it as bad as that?
30953Is it far?
30953Is it loaded?
30953It would cheer you up, would n''t it, Kid?
30953It''s early to be hungry,said Jimmie;"when did you have your breakfast?"
30953Mother''s name?
30953Nice dog you''ve got, Miss Wyndham,says he;"would you care to sell him?"
30953No,retorted Jimmie, for was not he also in uniform?
30953Now, sir, might I ask you, sir,says I,"wot is a champion?"
30953Now, will you go easy as a burglar, or shall I tell these men who you are and what I_ do_ want you for? 30953 Oh, he''s yours, is he?"
30953Oh, who would?
30953She must have been a great loss to you?
30953Should I have''em lit?
30953Stick by what boat?
30953That letter I sent this morning? 30953 That''s it, is it?"
30953The barkeeper with the derby hat?
30953Then how''ll this suit you?
30953Then you''re a reporter?
30953This is better''n a private box, ai n''t it?
30953This your dog?
30953Walked?
30953Well,returned the managing editor,"I do n''t think we can wait; do you?"
30953What are you putting over?
30953What do you want with him?
30953What fight? 30953 What fight?"
30953What for?
30953What happened to me?
30953What is it, Reeder?
30953What is it, miss?
30953What is it-- a bet?
30953What is it?
30953What is the matter with my father''s money?
30953What makes you think I want to hurt you?
30953What one?
30953What would one of those things cost?
30953What''ave you got on the back of your hand?
30953What''s he giving hisself airs about?
30953What''s his number?
30953What''s the matter with his ears?
30953What''s the name of the father of your dog, Nolan?
30953What''s wrong with it?
30953What''s your business?
30953What''s your royal suite,he mocked,"to our royal palace?"
30953When he drops the pilot, do n''t I----"How can he drop the pilot?
30953Where is your home?
30953Where_ would_ a Weiss glass be made?
30953Which way did he go?
30953Who are these men? 30953 Who are your people?"
30953Who do you think I am?
30953Who is your father, sonny?
30953Who the devil are you?
30953Who wo n''t let you?
30953Who won the open?
30953Who''s paying his entrance fee?
30953Who?
30953Who_ are_ you?
30953Whose little dog are you?
30953Why in hell did n''t you stop when I told you to?
30953Why was I kidnapped? 30953 Will he understand that they mean our home?"
30953Wot is this-- a circus?
30953Would what? 30953 You a Boy Scout?"
30953You a Scout, Jimmie?
30953You call that fun?
30953You want to fight, do you?
30953You wo n''t turn me off for running away, will you?
30953_ What''s_ not connected?
30953A man on the other side of the rail he says to the Master,"The judge do n''t like your dog?"
30953All I know about Cuba is, I once smoked a Cuban cigar and it made me ill.""Did Lafayette talk like that?"
30953Am I right?"
30953And Jimmy Jocks calls to me,"Did n''t I tell you so?
30953And Miss Dorothy says,"Here he is; what is it?"
30953And the judge picks up a bunch of''em and walks to the two gentlemen who was holding the beautiful dogs, and he says to each,"What''s his number?"
30953And then he asked, with a queer note in his voice, partly of dread and partly of hope,"Am I in time, sir?"
30953And what is there''tainted''about a raincoat?"
30953And why?
30953And-- hello!--will three millions see you through?"
30953Besides, what''s Cuba done for me?
30953But it do n''t seem likely, does it?"
30953But the Master calls out:"Yes, his father was Regent Royal; who''s saying he was n''t?
30953But what''s the good?
30953Did n''t I tell you so?"
30953Do I look like a burglar, you fool?"
30953Do n''t you never want to be a champion?"
30953Do n''t youse know no better than that?"
30953Do you hear me?
30953Do you hear me?"
30953Do you know_ who_ you''re up against?
30953Do you think he will understand?"
30953Do you want to be all torn up?"
30953Do you want to smell of it?"
30953Does the Viceroy live there, Kid?"
30953Has he got anything to do with the fight?"
30953Have I been trespassing?"
30953He answered airily:"Anything you like,"he said;"a million dollars?"
30953He seemed to be exclaiming,"Can such things be?"
30953How did a fellow like you come to mix up with these pirates?"
30953How was I to think of all them places when I had three dogs to cut up at the same time?
30953How would you like that, Kid?"
30953Illustration:"But how,"he demanded,"how do I get ashore?"]
30953Is my little Kid the great Wyndham Kid the dogs all talk about?"
30953Is n''t he wonderful?"
30953Is that your name?"
30953Is this a fighting dog?"
30953It seemed a minute before either of them moved, and then the officer took a step forward, and demanded sternly,"Who is that?
30953Might I speak with you--_alone_?"
30953Now, for instance, what''s your registered name and number?"
30953Now, what do you say?"
30953Or else why on his sleeve was the badge for"stalking"?
30953Or we would n''t have let him go, would we?"
30953PART II"Well, what''s your name-- Nolan?
30953Perhaps you did n''t know you''ve been discharged?"
30953Quick, speak up; shall I?"
30953Run your career for you?"
30953Shall I call out your real name or not?
30953Shall I tell them?
30953Shall we treat ourselves to ice- cream sodas or a trip on the Weehawken ferry- boat?"
30953Should he seek the spy on the nearest hilltop, or, until the owner returned, wait by the car?
30953Some diamonds to put on her head, or pearls to hang around her neck, or does she want a vacant lot on Fifth Avenue?"
30953The gentleman with my father he laughs, and says to the judge,"Thinking of keeping us here all day, John?"
30953There''s no great harm in looking at a fight, is there?
30953They looked up inquiringly as he passed, and the city editor asked,"Any news yet?"
30953They''re certainly up to some mischief, or why should they object to the presence of a perfectly harmless stranger?"
30953Well, there should n''t be any difficulty in our making a deal, should there?
30953What are you doing there?"
30953What boat is this?"
30953What can he mean?
30953What did your great- great dad ever do for_ you_?"
30953What do you say?"
30953What good will it do your sister to have you sunstruck?
30953What had I done?
30953What he said was:"Where''n hell''s my hat?"
30953When she rose from her knees the mother said,"But how can I thank him?"
30953Where did he go?"
30953Where''d you get it?"
30953Where''re we going?"
30953Which is the shortest way back to Bedford?"
30953Who are you?
30953Who is he?"
30953Who''d I think he was?
30953Why am I arrested?"
30953Why are n''t your lights lit?"
30953Why should I?
30953Will you have a cigarette?"
30953With polite insistence he repeated,"Would you mind telling me why I am arrested, and who_ you_ might happen to be?"
30953and the other asks,"Which?"
30953demanded Van Vorst, stiffly,"Captain McCoy?"
30953says he,"wherever have you been educated?
30953she cried,"does n''t it seem sinful to sail away in a''royal suite''and leave this beautiful flat empty?"
30953whistled Gallegher,"where''s it to be?"
27075And do they really go under the Hudson River?
27075But which thing first?
27075Can he give me the scraps when he''s taking his naps? 27075 Come now, Freshie, ca n''t you catch on to what you are?
27075I wonder if we''d better turn the cows out?
27075I wonder what runs on that track?
27075I wonder what this is?
27075If I walk far enough I''ll surely find grass, wo n''t I?
27075In the sun?
27075Is n''t it good we''re all alive?
27075Is that all, John''s Mother?
27075Is that all, Robert''s Mother?
27075Is that all, Ruth''s Mother?
27075Is that over there?
27075Is there anything in that wagon for us?
27075Now Little New Girl, what do you want to do?
27075Now, Little New Girl, what do you want to do?
27075Out o''breath? 27075 Please,"he said,"what river is this?"
27075See here, now,he said in a rasping voice,"what do you think wheels are for anyway if they are not to go round?
27075So what are you going to do about it?
27075Want to go to the Park, Boris?
27075What are the Hudson Tubes and where do they take you?
27075What berth, sir?
27075What berth, sir?
27075What do I think New York is, Boris? 27075 What have you done now?"
27075What is it built on? 27075 What is juice?"
27075What is this?
27075What is this?
27075What other river, boy? 27075 What shall I ever do?
27075What shall we call the calf, Eben?
27075What''s it for?
27075What''s it for?
27075What''s the matter with the vegetables, gardener?
27075What''s the matter with you?
27075What''s the matter with you?
27075What''s the matter with you?
27075Whatever is happening to me?
27075Whatever is happening?
27075Whatever will I do?
27075Where are we? 27075 Where have you been if you have n''t been on the streets?"
27075Which way had I better go?
27075Who are you?
27075Who are you?
27075Who else can show Little New Girl something to do?
27075Who is this?
27075Why not?
27075Why such haste, my brother?
27075Why?
27075Will you, Robert?
27075You silly little road beetle,shouted the great engine,"what on earth''s the matter with you?"
27075*** The old horse heard but how could he understand?
27075A LOCOMOTIVE In the daytime, what am I?
27075Am I mistaken in believing this shows in their language and in their thought?
27075And Marni would watch mother and then she''d say:[ Illustration]"Where water?
27075And after that what do you suppose Marni would say?
27075And amid the noise he heard a little voice say,"Father, is n''t this a brand new subway car?"
27075And can children do any better with the perplexing ideals of the chivalrous knight swept by a human passion?
27075And can children get this without its background, particularly as they have yet no social background in their own world to hold it up against?
27075And do you know what was making the steamer move?
27075And do you know why the tug boat and the steamer were talking like this?
27075And does not the six- year- old boy in the second show that imagination can spring from real experiences?
27075And even where you_ can_ go, you never get trusted if they can possibly trust me, now do you?
27075And he looked( who wants to be the headlight?)
27075And he opened a valve( who wants to be the steam?)
27075And he pulled a handle which let the steam into the whistle and the engine whistled( who wants to be the whistle?)
27075And he pulled a little handle( who wants to be the sand?)
27075And he pulled another lever and the great wheels began to move( who wants to be the wheels?)
27075And in the same way can a child really get the beauty of Siegfried?
27075And in what terms are they told?
27075And mother would put on her little blue sweater saying:"Sweater, sweater Who''s got a sweater?
27075And mother would put on her romper, singing:"Romper, romper Who''s got a romper?
27075And of Siegfried''s naïve passion on his first glimpse of a woman?
27075And please, is the other river the West River then?"
27075And the daisies they laugh As they hear the world pass, What is speed to the growing flowers?
27075And the engine puffed black smoke( who wants to be the smoke?
27075And then what do you suppose happened?
27075And there in the alley, oh what did he see This old horse with his terrified eye?
27075And they left all the houses; for where would we live else?
27075And what are the interpretations?
27075And what bell do you think that was way out there?
27075And what did he see at the end of the street?
27075And what did he show her?
27075And what did this other little girl show her?
27075And what do you suppose happened?
27075And what do you suppose he saw from the platform?
27075And what do you suppose that led to?
27075And what do you suppose the water did when the little hollow was all full?
27075And what do you think he saw there?
27075And what do you think that poor frightened horse saw coming along the road?
27075And what on earth is that rushing towards us?
27075And who do you suppose they were?
27075And why do we come down here under the ground?"
27075And why offer the shell without the spirit?
27075Anyone ready for breakfast?"
27075Are they not of exactly the heroic stuff for little children?
27075Because what do you think New York is?"
27075But after all is said and done, why should we give children stories at all?
27075But at night what do you think the spotted green frog did?
27075But did she understand?
27075But do we find this reasoning valid when we examine these tales free from the glamour which adult sophistication casts around them?
27075But do we wish to build them into a four- year- old''s thinking?
27075But does not the grouping of things because of physical juxtaposition now give way to a conception of"Use"?
27075But please you have n''t told me the name of the other river?"
27075But right near him what do you think he saw?
27075But what can they do For they ca n''t get through And all are so terribly slow?
27075But what river was that out in front of him?
27075But when this wonderful last baby calf had drunk its breakfast, what do you suppose it did?
27075Ca n''t you just hear me creak?
27075Ca n''t you keep in the road?"
27075Can not we seize some of them however imperfectly and learn to build them into the structure of our stories?
27075Can one think that the second child enjoyed his ordered world less than the first enjoyed his confusion?
27075Can we not care for the_ way_ we say things to them and not merely_ what_ we say?
27075Can you go to France and back again?
27075Children will take this sort of story,--what will their eager little minds not take?
27075Did you ever think why men cut the great Panama Canal so that sea could flow into sea?
27075Did you ever think why men use river steamers instead of you?
27075Did you walk all the way from Russia?"
27075Do Greek draperies make prostitution suitable for children?
27075Do n''t you realize you''re an old fuss budget with your steam and your boiler and your fire and what not?
27075Do not these pretty well cover the field of his interests?
27075Does he not think of the world largely in terms of active functioning?
27075Does not Cinderella interject a social and economic situation which is both confusing and vicious?
27075Does the glamour of chivalry explain illicit love?
27075From the dark outside the children heard their mother''s voice,"Children, children, are you there?
27075Has not the typical question of this age become"What''s it for?"
27075He looked around and what do you think he saw?
27075He said,"Will you let me throw my little bag of perfume on you?"
27075How can that preposterous little beetle run without tracks?
27075How could he know that she had said They wanted him no longer?
27075How do they ever get out?"
27075How much of it stimulates fruitful inquiries?
27075How shall I live?
27075Hudson Tubes?
27075I hope you were n''t depending on them?"
27075I said,"Do you want to go to Central Park?"
27075I told him to tell his mother about it and his mother said,"You want to go for another walk?"
27075I wonder why the hay has left the barn?
27075I wonder why the hay has left the barn?
27075If conceived of as motor and personal do they not hold all the material a four- or five- year- old needs for stories?
27075In the darkness, what am I?
27075In the first, does not this five- year- old girl give us her vivid impressions in marvelously simple sense and motor terms?
27075In the hubbub, what am I?
27075In the stillness, what am I?
27075Is it much except confusion?
27075Is it not wiser to wait until children will not be confused by all their straight vigor and beauty?
27075Is it to delight and so should we pay attention to the form?
27075Is it to instruct and so should we pay attention to the content?
27075Is that the way we wish to introduce him to sex?
27075Is there anyone else who can plow so straight a furrow?
27075Is there anyone else who can pull so heavy a load?
27075Just then what do you suppose he saw?
27075May I have a ride?
27075More, what kind can he perceive?
27075Now is n''t that the funniest thing?"
27075Now what activities are appropriate for the first stories?
27075Now what kind of pattern is adapted to a small child,--say a three- year- old?
27075Now, how much of the classical literature follows the lead of the children''s own inquiries?
27075Now, what are the typical relationships which a four- or five- year- old uses to bind together his world into intelligible experiences?
27075Now, what in this wider environment gets his spontaneous attention?
27075O brook, O brook, have you an end ever?
27075Often we are tempted to give him reasons in response to his incessant"why?"
27075Or do you go forever?
27075Plot is present in embryonic form in the omnipresent personal drama:"Where''s baby?
27075Romper, romper Who''s got a romper?"
27075STORY BY TWENTY- TWO- MONTHS- OLD CHILD Where cow?
27075Say, what do you think you were made for anyway, Freshie?"
27075So he began muttering to himself:"What shall I do, oh, what shall I do?
27075So he ventured timidly:"Is n''t this great?
27075So she asked her mother,"Which room is going to be mine?"
27075So what did Barbara show her?
27075So what did Robert show her?
27075So what did Tom show her?
27075Sweater, sweater, Who''s got a sweater?"
27075TIME TO RISE A birdie with a yellow bill Hopped upon the window sill, Cocked his shining eye and said:"Ai n''t you shamed, you sleepy head?"
27075The carpenter is so glad to have a table to eat off of that he says to himself:"Now is n''t it grand?
27075The cultured world has yet another answer to the question,"How shall we give our children adventure?"
27075The next time a three- year- old asks you"why you put on shoes?"
27075Their inquiries take on the character of"how?"
27075Then Horse in the stable looked up, He whinneyed and shook his old head;"Shall I stand here all day without any hay?
27075Then Marni would say:"Where my little pail?
27075Then a little pig came along and he said,"Could you throw me up and throw an apple down?"
27075Then he said,"Can you puff smoke and stuff?"
27075Then he said,"Engine, can you blow your whistle so?"
27075Then he said,"Engine, can you make the sound of your wheels going round?"
27075Then he said,"Engine, can you sprinkle sand?"
27075Then he said,"Engine, can you squirt a stream of steam?"
27075Then he said,"Engine, does your light shine out bright?"
27075Then she''d say,"Where Peter?"
27075This made Boris feel very uncomfortable, but he knew there was another river in the west for had n''t he just walked there?
27075Through this may not children safely gain their needed adventures?
27075To what school of design, what academy of music, what school of literary production, do our common schools lead?
27075Want to know anything more?"
27075Was it"I take back my cotton?"
27075Was not this an evident effort to comprehend an extra- personal relationship?
27075What about the water?
27075What are the relationships which sagas, myths and folk- lore interpret?
27075What are you talking about?"
27075What can I send you today?"

27075What could she mean?
27075What could she mean?
27075What could she mean?
27075What could that mean?
27075What did you see on the streets?"
27075What do we do with them in this hole anyway?"
27075What do we expect a child to get from these pictures of sexual passion on the part of the man,--even though a god,--and of social dependence of woman?
27075What do we want him to make of it?
27075What do you think it_ is_?
27075What does he take from the street life, for instance, to make his own?
27075What is it built on I mean?"
27075What kind does he like?
27075What relationships are they based on?
27075What relationships do such tales interpret?
27075What shall I do?
27075What shall I do?
27075What shall I do?
27075What truths do they give a child upon which to base his thinking?

27075What would the world do without me?
27075What would the world do without me?"
27075What would the world do without me?"
27075What would the world do without me?"
27075When he came in his mother called out,"Did you find the wide green country, Boris?"
27075When the engine felt his boiler full of water he asked eagerly:"Now I have water, Now do I know How I should go?"
27075When the engineer heard the new engine call out, he asked,"What do you want, new engine?"
27075Where Jack- o?"
27075Where do you come from, boy?"
27075Where do you want to go?"
27075Where donk?
27075Where little Aa?
27075Where soap?
27075Where sponge?
27075Whoever heard of a broken tail?
27075Why do we leave it to special occasions and to special people to use these common things as precious play material?
27075Why does a cow have four stomachs?
27075Why does her food come back to be chewed?
27075Why does n''t she get out of the way when an auto comes down the road?
27075Why does she chew sideways?
27075Why does she have to be milked twice a day?
27075You go everywhere?
27075Z- z- zr- zr- zr- zz- zz-- What in the name of all blazes was happening to him?
27075[ B]_ At this point the teacher might ask,"What else?"
27075[ Illustration] Then she heard some one say,"Little New Girl, why do n''t you take off your things?"
27075but when he asks"why?"
39757''But,''said the manager,''what shall we do with that stuffed owl with the unicorn''s horns?'' 39757 ''I brought it in with me, did n''t I?''
39757''Oh, what is a yak, sir?'' 39757 A zygomatic zoophagan?
39757All ready?
39757And ca n''t anybody ever get rid of him?
39757And did n''t you ever have the wonders so badly that you got cross and would n''t eat anything but sweet things for dinner?
39757And did you really know?
39757And is his name Santa Claus, too?
39757And tell me, I pray,''said the boy in drab, Just what''s a Thelphusi- an?'' 39757 And what became of Tiny?"
39757And what happened?
39757And what, pray,cried the king, striding angrily forward to the mutinous poet,"what are you going to do about it?"
39757And you make them get out, do n''t you?
39757Are you comfortable?
39757Are you fond of apples and gingerbread?
39757Are you really?
39757Attagas? 39757 But do n''t you know anything funnier than that?"
39757But do you know where we are?
39757But how did there come to be two of you?
39757But how do I get''em in?
39757But how do you get pleasure out of a garden when you do n''t raise anything in it?
39757But how?
39757But is that all you''re to agree upon?
39757But perhaps you do n''t like rhyme?
39757But what becomes of your war?
39757But what do you raise in your gardens?
39757But what''s the good of it?
39757But where did it go?
39757But you wonder why now, do n''t you?
39757But,asked Jimmieboy,"even if Mr. Podlington''s house had had wings, how could he have made them work?"
39757Ca n''t somebody catch him, and put him into prism?
39757Ca n''t we try it on him?
39757Ca n''t you get it in through the front door?
39757Can we not send a regiment of cold winds out against them, and freeze them to their very marrows and blow out the gas?
39757Can you get it down?
39757Considering what?
39757Could n''t you have let Wobble Doo have just a little bit of cake and jam?
39757Did I write anything?
39757Did he say how he would like to do it?
39757Did he shake it down?
39757Did n''t you like it?
39757Did n''t your dream- poet ever write anything funny in you?
39757Do I bite?
39757Do I?
39757Do n''t you know that Jubilees are useful to a man only because other people give him presents in honor of the event? 39757 Do n''t you think that''s nice?"
39757Do they?
39757Do you always speak in rhyme?
39757Do you chew it?
39757Do you like cherries and peaches?
39757Do you live in that?
39757Do you live near here?

39757Does dogs frost- bite?
39757From what?
39757Fuel or illuminating?
39757Had n''t I better send for the doctor?
39757Have I a Jubilee approaching?
39757Here is one of the things I dreamed he wrote upon my leaves:''What''s the use of tears?
39757How did it happen?
39757How do we go? 39757 How would you like to hear some of my poetry?"
39757How''s this? 39757 How?"
39757Howdy do?
39757Hurt him? 39757 I am here and you are there, and I think if we stay just as we are forever there is not likely to be any change, so why repine?
39757I asked the Speeler why He looked so mortal sad? 39757 I suppose it was I that answered my own question, eh?
39757I suppose you''ve come down to see us rehearse?
39757I wonder what he''s going to do with the hose?
39757I''ll go, and we''ll fix Jack so that he wo n''t bite any of our people any more, eh?
39757I''m sound asleep-- can''t you see?
39757If anybody came to steal us, we''d cry, and get so soaked with tears nobody could get us to go off, so what good would we be?
39757In my night- gown? 39757 Is it?"
39757Is n''t it beautiful here?
39757Is n''t that funny?
39757Is n''t that lovely?
39757Is n''t that the most fearfully awfully terribly horribly horribly terribly fearful bit of awfulness you ever heard?
39757Is n''t that too bad?
39757Is that all?
39757Is that all?
39757Is that all?
39757Is that dreadful enough?
39757Is there any way for me to get in there?
39757It''s a cold furnace, eh?
39757Jack? 39757 Make it up yourself?"
39757Me?
39757Never thought of it?
39757No,said Jimmieboy,"what sort of a place is it?"
39757No?
39757Now who trusts you? 39757 Now would you?"
39757Now, here''s another thing I''ve bothered over many a time: What''s the use of weeds?
39757Oh, it does n''t, eh?
39757Oh, that''s it, eh? 39757 Oh, you do n''t know who I mean, eh?"
39757Orphans? 39757 Plane and plain-- don''t you see?
39757Really?
39757Say that again, will you?
39757See?
39757Shall I accede or stand by you?
39757Shall we let it through?
39757Shall we muzzle him?
39757Shall we, Jimmieboy?
39757That would have been awful, would n''t it?
39757The world, surprised, asked''How was it? 39757 Then tell me this,"asked the voice:"Why do you gnaw the apple red?
39757Then why do n''t they put T at the end of it?
39757Then why do you sigh because of the work they have given you to do?
39757Then,said the voice,"Why do you bite the cherry sweet?
39757They wo n''t burn, for sure?
39757They''re all about the same, are n''t they?
39757This is pretty fine, eh?
39757Was that right of him?
39757Well, do n''t I? 39757 Well, if we staid dead how do you suppose we''d be on hand to be killed again the next time you had the story read to you?"
39757Well, what''s the result?
39757What are canthaves?
39757What are you anyhow?
39757What did you expect?
39757What do you do first?
39757What do you mean by to fly with?
39757What do you take me for-- an expressman?
39757What do you think of this: What is the only thing you can crack without splitting it?
39757What do you want?
39757What for?
39757What is one of those things?
39757What is to be done?
39757What is''to alarm?''
39757What language is it in?
39757What magazine?
39757What of that?
39757What shall you do with it now that you have it?
39757What was that?
39757What were you?
39757What''s a Speeler?

39757What''s the use of jeering?
39757What''s the whisk broom for?
39757What''s wanted?
39757What-- a-- at?
39757What?
39757Where can I find him?
39757Where does he live, papa?
39757Where would you have been if it had n''t been for-- for-- well, for a friend of mine?
39757Who all your goings did o''ersee, And got this lofty place for thee? 39757 Who are you, anyhow?"
39757Who are you?
39757Who are you?
39757Who are you?
39757Who comes here?
39757Who comes here?
39757Who is Jack Frost, papa?
39757Who said so?
39757Who thought about that jubilee, And filled Jack Frost chock up with glee? 39757 Why do you crunch your taffy brown?
39757Why have I not been informed of this before?
39757Why is it?
39757Why, that does n''t mean anything, does it?
39757Why, what kind of thoughts do you think, anyhow? 39757 Why?"
39757Why?
39757Why?
39757Wo n''t you come in?
39757Wo n''t you let me have it?
39757Would Nate ever get back home again?
39757Would you like to hear that story, Jimmieboy?
39757Yes; but will it fit the boy?
39757You can slide, ca n''t you?
39757You did n''t want to be a fireman, did you?
39757You do n''t eat gas, do you?
39757You do n''t know why the moon is called she, do you?
39757You know a terrible lot, do n''t you?
39757You think I''m a funny- looking thing do n''t you?
39757You''ve had this story read to you every day now for three years, have n''t you?
39757Your poems are all sad, are n''t they?
39757Your what?
39757''Ca n''t we do something to make him ashamed of himself?''
39757''What does the Dude Giant do with himself on Sundays?''
39757''Where do you wish to sit?''
39757''Will you tell me, sir, ere I go to work-- To toil till the night brings along its murk-- How high peanuts are to- day?''
39757And brought you through S- A- F- E?
39757And then he burst out in song:"But now, O joy?
39757Are you still lit?"
39757Are you the toy peddler?"
39757Are you very busy?"
39757Are you you?"
39757But come, shall we go in?"
39757But what do you think of my scheme?
39757By- the- way,"the Rocket added,"do you know the best kind of tea to have on Fourth of July?"
39757Ca n''t the Twine help you?"
39757Ca n''t you get a smaller size through?"
39757Can you?"
39757Did n''t I tell you it would n''t hurt him?"
39757Did you ever feel as if you wanted to become great, Jimmieboy?"
39757Did you ever have any more like that?"
39757Do n''t you ever suffer because you ca n''t have things?"
39757Do n''t you think it would be wise if I killed Jack just once?"
39757Do n''t you think so?"
39757Do you know enough to tell me anything he does n''t know?"
39757Do you know why they put A at the head of the alphabet?"
39757Down the stairs?"
39757Eh, Santa?"
39757Eh?"
39757Ever been there?"
39757Ever hear about that?"
39757Ever see any turtle soup?"
39757Get off a joke now, will you?"
39757Have you fed the horses?"
39757He walked to the front door and opened it, and what do you suppose it opened into?
39757He''ll come to life again right away just as we Giants do----""Do n''t you stay dead when Jack kills you?"
39757Here the Cracker winked at Jimmieboy, as much as to say,"How is that for a joke?"
39757His father''d never at him shake His head and ask him''Why?''
39757How did he do it so?
39757How did he learn so well to hit So fatally his foe?''
39757How is it?
39757How would you like to see our gardens?"
39757I might sit on your lap if I could n''t keep warm any other way, eh?"
39757I will raise your salary, and send your children a skating- pond on Christmas day; but when is this Jubilee to take place?"
39757Is that what you call a joke?"
39757Is that worth while, my boy?"
39757It''s the only thought for a thinker to think I think, do n''t you think so?"
39757It''s too great a tale for any dog to wag, eh?"
39757Let me see; now, do you know why the Pollywog is always amiable?"
39757Let''s see-- a story of a Giant or of a Dwarf?"
39757Now what are you going to do about it?"
39757Now, why does the sun rise in the morning?"
39757On a cold night like this?"
39757P- l- a- n- e and p- l- a- i- n."[ Illustration:"IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL A JOKE?"]
39757Pleasure, is n''t it?"
39757Queer, was n''t it?"
39757Say, papa,"he cried sitting up,"what is a sasspipedon?"
39757Secretary?"
39757Shall I send him up?"
39757Suppose you ate one of these nuts a minute, do you know how long it would take you, eating eight hours a day, to eat up the whole lot?"
39757That''s a fact, so how could it be nonsense?"
39757The garden?
39757The point is, will you go?
39757The wink he followed up at once with a smile, and then he said:"That you, Jimmieboy?"
39757Then, as he had intimated, the goblin opened the door again, and poking his head out as before, cried:"Is that you, milk broker?"
39757There''s fuel gas, illuminating gas, laughing gas, attagas----""What''s that last?"
39757They end with a tea, do n''t they?"
39757This year you have weeds on your lawn, do n''t you?"
39757Was he quite firm about that?"
39757Well, then, I do n''t mind; but-- er-- how am I ever going to get down there?"
39757What do you say, Jimmieboy?"
39757What do you say?"
39757What do you suppose he would say to it?"
39757What have you done with your leg?''
39757What is it worth in peanuts?"
39757What letter does a Chinaman wear on his head?"
39757What''ll I tell papa that he does n''t know?"
39757What''ll we do about it?"
39757What''s the difference between a man who steals a whole wig and a fire- cracker?"
39757What''s the longest letter in the alphabet?"
39757What''s the use of fears?
39757What''s the use of moping?
39757What?"
39757Where did the Zoo get so much wit?
39757Why did n''t he take a man of his size like papa, for instance, or the grocer man?
39757Why do houses have shutters on their windows?"
39757Why do you chew at all-- at all?"
39757Why do you chew your gingerbread?"
39757Why do you munch your candy ball?
39757Why do you nibble your jumble down?
39757Why in the peach do your teeth meet?"
39757Why would n''t he?"
39757Why?"
39757Why?"
39757Wings are meant to fly with, are n''t they?
39757Would you believe it, Jimmieboy, that the minute I tried to rise and hop off on the search I discovered that my other leg was gone too?"
39757Would you like to be one of our concern, Jimmieboy?"
39757You see what the heat down there is doing?"
39757You''ve heard of houses with wings, of course?"
39757[ Illustration:"THIS IS PRETTY FINE, EH?"
39757[ Illustration:"WHO COMES HERE?"]
39757he answered-- he was quite fond of asking himself questions and then answering them--"why?
39757said Jack,"do n''t you see my point?
19909''Where?'' 19909 A pantry with no window in it?"
19909About myself?
19909Ai n''t we ben two old fools to stay mad all this time?
19909Ai n''t you going to ask your mother about the work- box?
19909All right, pard?
19909And do n''t you believe we should all feel better to kill off them fowls-- all but two or three? 19909 And hath the Dominie Curtius gone indeed, Heer Governor?"
19909And say, Billy, was n''t it fun the day we killed old man Lee''s puddle ducks for wild ones? 19909 And the baby, Nan?"
19909And what are we going to do, Mistress Ely?
19909And what can a boy like you have to think of? 19909 And what did you wish?"
19909And what did you wish?
19909And why will he not pay the taxes, Patem?
19909And you broke my poor old wishbone with your little sister, did n''t you?
19909And your horse, Pose?
19909And, Sister March, how have you been since we last met?
19909Any letter for me?
19909Araminta Kittredge, what does this mean?
19909Are you all right, Nan?
19909Are you sure you can take care of her?
19909Are you tired?
19909Aunt, what makes you keep that gander year after year?
19909But what will we fodder it to?
19909But why does he always and only complain?
19909But wo n''t it cost you too much?
19909But, Mother, if somebody else should buy it?
19909But-- ain''t there a letter-- for me?
19909Buy a paper, sir? 19909 Can you tell me where I can get work,"asked the man, doggedly,"so that I can earn a little something to eat?
19909Cold?
19909Come, now, wo n''t you have something between the soup and the pie? 19909 D''ye think the like of yonder''s a horse thief?
19909Dick, do your ricolleck the fight you and a coon had out on the limb of that tree over yonder, one night?
19909Did n''t Mr. Despondency and Miss Muchafraid and Mr. Readytohalt all dance together in the''Pilgrim''s Progress?''
19909Did n''t see anybody with a horse last night or this morning, eh, John?
19909Did n''t you wish for a bicycle to- day, when you got the big end of the wishbone?
19909Do n''t you know my Aunt Rose from Boston made her and gave her to me?
19909Do n''t you think I ought to ask mother, Submit?
19909Do you know,said he,"that you have been conducting yourself like unto the brawlers in the taverns and ale- houses?"
19909Do you mean I can have the work- box to keep?
19909Do you mean to say you''ve been homesick all this time?
19909Father, when are you going to weigh him?
19909Father,said she,"how much do you think our Thanksgiving turkey will weigh?"
19909Fifteen miles on horseback with that foot? 19909 Has n''t he got to if she says so?"
19909Hath he, hath he, boy?
19909Have a chaw, Dick?
19909Have some cheese with your pie, wo n''t you? 19909 Have we got so pore as all that, Mother?"
19909Have we not done our best from the first? 19909 Have you caught a whole flock of quails?"
19909Have you got the powder- horn, Nat? 19909 How could your wish come true?"
19909How do you suppose I can tell? 19909 How many times must I tell you, Lois, to read your Bible?"
19909How''s that, Bubby?
19909I said to Aaron:''What can I give Nathaniel to carry to sea with him to make him think of home?
19909Is it because he is a kind of watchdog, and keeps troublesome people away?
19909It leaves Thanksgiving out in the cold, does n''t it, Bub? 19909 Joe,"said his wife, suddenly,"where are you going?"
19909Kid, pard?
19909Mice?
19909Now what shall we do with him?
19909Oh, Jason, do n''t you wish it was always going to be Thanksgiving Day after to- morrow?
19909Orful slick- lookin'', ai n''t she?
19909Ready?
19909Said I not so, and will you dare doubt my word, rascal? 19909 Sarah Adams,"said she,"what will you give me if our turkey is bigger than your turkey?"
19909Say, Grandpa,he urged,"go hunting to- morrow and try to kill a turkey for Thanksgiving, wo n''t you?
19909Snakes?
19909So then, Teuny,cried Patem, in his highest key of contempt,"did your wits blow away with your hat out of Heer Snediker''s nut tree yesterday?
19909So this is your place of business?
19909Submit, what does this mean?
19909Sure?
19909That is because you are a schoolmaster,laughed Mrs. October, shaking her head, adorned with a wreath of gayly tinted leaves;"but where is my baby?"
19909That''s the question: why do n''t I? 19909 The poor?"
19909Too much? 19909 Was n''t it lucky we had potpie to- day?
19909We can have Thanksgiving now, ca n''t we, Ma?
19909Well, Obie, what''s happened?
19909Well, Pose?
19909Well, now, Sam, why need you be off on things that''s none of your business?
19909Well,cried several of the boys almost in a breath,"and now what shall we do, Patem?
19909What I want to know is,said Breem, as he glanced sharply round the long room of the camp,"what''s become of that yellow- haired jay-- Bennett?"
19909What ails you now, Pose? 19909 What are you going to do?"
19909What colour was the horse, John?
19909What could I do but eat turkey when it was put on the table?
19909What could_ you_ do?
19909What did she bring you the doll baby for?
19909What did ye tell her?
19909What difference does it make if one weighs a pound or two more than the other, if there is enough to go round?
19909What do you care if you only have blue beads and lots of candy?
19909What do you do here?
19909What do you say to chicken soup, and then wind up with a thumping big piece of squash pie? 19909 What game is it?"
19909What if she did?
19909What is it, Joe?
19909What is it, Joe?
19909What makes you think so?
19909What shall we do to him for that?
19909What shall we do with him, grandpapa?
19909What shall we have for Thanksgiving dinner?
19909What will we have for Thanksgiving, Ma?
19909What will we_ do_? 19909 What will you give me if it is?"
19909What you crying for?
19909What''s that?
19909When''s yours going to be killed?
19909Where did you get this, Freddie-- what do you mean by finding it in the turkey?
19909Where hast thou gleaned to- day?
19909Where is your mother? 19909 Where?"
19909Who for?
19909Why ca n''t dollies have a Thanksgiving dinner as well as real folks?
19909Why did n''t you buy some blue ones? 19909 Why do n''t ye send Doll?"
19909Why do n''t you fire? 19909 Why do n''t you go hunting, and try to kill you a turkey for Thanksgiving?"
19909Why do n''t you open it?
19909Why do n''t you suggest something?
19909Why is this?
19909Why not?
19909Why should n''t I dance?
19909Why should you care if the Adams''turkey does weigh more? 19909 Why, Jason, is anything the matter?"
19909Why, what did''come of you before I came?
19909Why, what makes you look so sober?
19909Wife all right?
19909Wife, pard?
19909Will you?
19909Yes, but it has n''t any stamp and how could a turkey bring it-- how did it get in him?
19909You did,replied the gobbler coldly,"and you had a fine old time, did n''t you?"
19909You do n''t care because the new minister and his daughter are coming?
19909You like it?
19909You understand? 19909 You''re not going to throw that good old clock away?"
19909You''ve a home to go to, and friends, too, I hope?
19909''What kind of apples do you like best, Ezry?''
19909A cup of tea, then, to go with your pie?"
19909Ai n''t I got four hundred dollars a year for the rest of my natural born days?"
19909Ai n''t it real pleasant here?
19909Ai n''t you always doing something for everybody, and helping every one of these neighbours in all sorts of ways?
19909Ai n''t you the kindest man yourself that ever lived?
19909And Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to his reapers:"Whose damsel is this?"
19909And Boaz, who was good and kind, said to Ruth:"Hearest thou not, my daughter?
19909And a murmur arose among them:"Should not the Master have welcomed us to life?
19909And do n''t it taste good, too?
19909And has not mercy been with us, sooner or later, all along?
19909And here was Nathaniel''s Thanksgiving dinner and Brother Aaron''s-- had it flown away?
19909And his murmurings and her tears sent a shudder all along the long ridges of sickly corn blades, and they asked one of another,"Why does he murmur?
19909And if we ca n''t get a new one wo n''t you tell Beth to send one of hers?
19909And was it not the intention to invite all of the aristocracy of both towns to be present at the marriage feast?
19909And where''s your contribution, boy?
19909Are we idle?
19909Are we indifferent?
19909Are we not doing all we can?
19909Are we not doing it minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day?
19909Are we not doing our best?
19909Are we not watching and waiting against the times of refreshing?
19909Are we obstinate?
19909As nine o''clock struck, the whole scene dissolved and melted; for what well- regulated village would think of carrying festivities beyond that hour?
19909Be kind of a boom for you''n''Corinna, too-- see?
19909But Prudence called to him in a cheerful and kindly tone:"Come, Robert,"said she,"wo n''t you shake hands with your old friend?"
19909But could he not make it easier for us to get our food than by hunting animals and taking fish?
19909But what was that?
19909But when Sylvy came in with the parson, who could look at furniture?
19909Cake, preserves, apples?
19909Can you guess who Chip was?
19909Could it be?
19909Do n''t this soup smell good?
19909Do n''t you see it''s in a''envelope and all sealed and everything?"
19909Do n''t you want to play?
19909Do not you know that the Heer Governor is at royal odds with Dominie Curtius because the skinflint old dominie will not pay the taxes due the town?
19909Do they fall kind o''lovingly but sadly on the little buryin''ground jest beyond the village?
19909Do we slumber or sleep, and let opportunities pass by unused?
19909Do you feel chilly?"
19909Do you think the world goeth but for your pleasures alone?
19909Does this story teach that tarts and pies should never be eaten?
19909Dolly, what hev''you got?"
19909Eat?
19909Eh, my son?"
19909Everybody looked at her inquiringly, for how did Heart''s Delight know Chip had plenty of nuts?
19909Freddie, standing with eyes and mouth wide open, finally said,"Why, Ellen, do you believe it is a letter?"
19909Guess who he is?"
19909Had one of the neighbours''geese stolen away?
19909Has she, too, a master who has lost patience?"
19909Have we let one drop of moisture pass by unused, one moment of warmth come to us in vain?
19909Have we not done our best?
19909Have we not seized on every chance, and striven every day to be ready for the hour of breaking forth?
19909Have you not here at discretion what you love best, and enough to last you ever,_ ever_ so long?
19909He said:"Why ca n''t a poor little mouse have a Thanksgiving dinner as well as we?"
19909He was angry but lately, because the seed he had sown had not yet brought forth; now that it has brought forth, why is he not glad?
19909His wife''s face grew paler still, but she only asked tenderly,"How did you ever get here, Joe?"
19909How ever was his lunch to come in now?
19909How should this colossal tart be cooked?
19909How''s that for a Thanksgiving dinner?"
19909Humph,_''twas_ quite a setup for poor church mice, was n''t it?
19909I was only''leven years old, and what could I?
19909Is it not enough that I must needs send the schoolmaster a- packing, without being worried by graceless young varlets as you?"
19909Is she, too, fading and waiting?
19909Mother says,''Ezry an''Amos, wo n''t you never get through eatin''?
19909Mother, do you suppose our turkey weighs more than Submit''s?"
19909Mother, how much do you suppose our turkey weighs?"
19909No turkey, nor puddin'', nor anything?"
19909Not go to Sylvy''s wedding?"
19909Now what do you think they did?
19909Now wo n''t you let me pay for my dinner?
19909Oh, Jason, Cyrus wo n''t do it, will he?"
19909Or does n''t his eyes quite reach the Holyoke hills?
19909Page, who also had been in deep thought,"do you think we better ask Santa Claus to send her one, or send her one ourselves?
19909Seen a ghost?"
19909Sha n''t I fetch Sylvester over?"
19909Shall we not be found ready at last?
19909Shall we not be found waiting and watching?
19909She simply repeated her first question:"What are we going to do about it, I should like to know?"
19909She was a courageous little body indeed, but what mother would not venture a good deal for her hungry babies?
19909She''s just as fine, is n''t she?"
19909Suppose the Thompson turkey should be larger, and she should lose Thankful-- Thankful that her beautiful Aunt Rose had made for her?
19909Sylvia, will you stand before the sophy?
19909The motion prevailed; and then the poor housewives began to ask the question,"What shall we have for Thanksgiving dinner?"
19909Then Ruth bowed herself to the ground, and said:"Why have I found such favour in thine eyes, seeing I am a stranger?"
19909Then he asked,"_ And_, pard, the baby?"
19909To which he answered, if answer it may be called,"Why are you always so gloomy?
19909Uncouth enough was their aspect; but fashion did not yet reign in Nepash, and if they were warm, who cared for elegance?
19909WHO ATE THE DOLLY''S DINNER?
19909Was n''t it good of him?"
19909What could he mean?
19909What do you do for a living?"
19909What do you say?"
19909What for?
19909What for?
19909What if those bullets should rattle out?
19909What more does he want?
19909What''ll they think?
19909What_ could_ Bert say?
19909What_ had_ he done with it?
19909When moisture was scant, and we throve but little, why did he not rejoice over that little, and wait, as we did, for more?
19909Where is it, Joe?"
19909Where is the Master of the Harvest, that he may claim his own with joy?"
19909Where is the critter?"
19909Where was the vessel?
19909Who can tell how long the feast would have lasted if the King had not given his command that it should cease?
19909Why ca n''t I have a nice little lunch during sermon time?"
19909Why do n''t you dine with her?"
19909Why does he always complain?
19909Why does he murmur?
19909Why does he not rejoice?"
19909Why indeed?
19909Why leave them open?
19909Why should Scripture be quoted about such common things?"
19909Why should she cry?
19909Why?
19909Would the Master of the Harvest ask more?
19909You are sure you do n''t feel chilly?"
19909You have heard me speak of Nathaniel, my oldest boy?"
19909You have n''t forgotten that?"
19909You wo n''t?
19909You''ll come, wo n''t you?
19909Your Majesty,_ must_ we eat it all?"

39871Ca n''t see me? 39871 Ca n''t you cure me over the telephone?
39871Ca n''t you let me off long enough to finish my term at school, and then when vacation comes maybe I''ll come back?
39871Ca n''t you tell me some of the things that perhaps you are that are found up in trees?
39871Can you recite yourself to me?
39871Coz why? 39871 Coz why?"
39871Crowded? 39871 Crowded?"
39871Custard?

39871Did he ever become one of those?
39871Did n''t you ever hear of cat teasers? 39871 Did you die then?"
39871Did you ever see a man fishing?
39871Do I look it?
39871Do n''t you flavor it with anything?
39871Do n''t you have any real good food here?
39871Do n''t you know anything?
39871Do n''t you like that?
39871Do n''t you remember Bikey, who threw you over the lawn mower?
39871Do you prefer homeopathic or allopathic treatment?
39871Do you really have such animals as those?
39871Do you really?
39871Do you see this inn? 39871 Do you see this?"
39871Do you, really?
39871Doing what?
39871Excuse me,said the Dude Brownie anxiously,"but before I answer, must I answer in poetry or in prose?
39871Feel any lighter?
39871Fine display, eh?
39871For me?
39871Got any cannon crackers?
39871Got ten thousand dollars in your pocket?
39871Great haul of children, eh?
39871Have you got it with you?
39871Hear what I said?
39871How about you and my pneumatic pies?
39871How did you capture him?
39871How did you like Europe?
39871How do you do?
39871How far off is Saturn?
39871How long does one have to stay here?
39871How many miles is that?
39871How would you like to be called the Automatic- Musical- Jimmieboy?
39871I am awake, ai n''t I? 39871 I guess you mean potentate, do n''t you?"
39871I just press a button and it''s all over-- see?
39871I know you, and me, and several other things, but that''s not much, is it? 39871 I pray excuse me, Lobster dear, If I should ask you why?
39871I suppose your air biscuits are of the same kind?
39871I thought you said they were asleep?
39871I want to go very much, but----"Howdiknow?
39871I wish I''d seen it; ca n''t you turn back to that page in the book, and have it done all over again?
39871I wo n''t fall, will I?
39871I''m not written-- didn''t I tell you?
39871I''m right here-- can''t you see the stupid little apple- tree that''s keeping the sun off you and stretching its arms up over you?
39871If he is, will you give it to him?
39871Indeed?
39871Is it a queer law which results in the saving of people''s lives?
39871Is it as cold as that at the Pole?
39871Is n''t that just terribly lovely?
39871Is n''t there any chance of my ever seeing you?
39871Is that you Jimmieboy?
39871Is the boy supposed to be me?
39871It looks hopeless, does n''t it?
39871It''s a queer question for him to ask, eh Swanny?
39871Just look at my tires, will you? 39871 Let''s see-- what shall I bring you?"
39871Magic lantern?
39871Me? 39871 Now do you understand?"
39871Oh, were they?
39871On water?
39871Or a bite of my gutta percha gum?
39871Perhaps you''d like an explanation of the explanation?
39871Queer law that, is n''t it?
39871Real? 39871 Really?"
39871Really?
39871Really?
39871Say, Tige,the little voice cried,"what time is it?"
39871Several days to wait, eh? 39871 That wo n''t do any good, and what''s the use anyhow, as long as you did n''t mean it?"
39871That''s a fine ceiling, is n''t it?
39871That''s it, is it?
39871That''s very likely true,said Jimmieboy,"but how are you going to do it?
39871That''s you, eh?
39871The little silver key he carries on the end of his watch chain?
39871The only thing is, how am I to get up there?
39871Then what did Pixyweevil become?
39871This is great, is n''t it?
39871To eat?
39871Two thousand dollars?
39871Understand that, Jimmieboy?
39871Unless what?
39871Unless you are your twin brother; are you your twin brother?
39871Until breakfast is ready?
39871W- where are we g- g gug- going to now?
39871WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?]
39871Was n''t it?
39871Was that what you rang for? 39871 We can stop and rest on one of those if you want to, Jimmieboy,"said Bikey;"are you tired?"
39871Well, if a man can fish, why should n''t a fish man? 39871 Well, then, look sharp, will you?
39871Well, whad yo''want?
39871Well, what are you going to do about it?
39871Well, what kind of a queer thing are you?
39871Well, where are you? 39871 Well, why should he?"
39871Well, young man,said he,"what do you think of air pies up here, now?"
39871What are those things on the top shelf?
39871What are you doing here?
39871What are you laughing at?
39871What cats?
39871What comes next?
39871What did you tell him?
39871What difference does it make in the bill?
39871What do you mean by that?
39871What do you suppose the book was?
39871What do you think you are?
39871What does any conductor mean when he calls out the name of a station?
39871What does he think he is, a telegraph pole? 39871 What does he wear so many pairs of spectacles for?"
39871What does it mean?
39871What flavor will you have?
39871What for?
39871What good''ll the gas do?
39871What is a live wood doll baby?
39871What is a party of sharks off manning?
39871What is custard made of?
39871What is it you do n''t understand now?
39871What is it you want with me? 39871 What is this place?"
39871What kind of a valentime are you?
39871What now?
39871What on earth can you do with a rubber mince pie besides not eat it?
39871What on earth is a Jumping Billikins?
39871What''ll you have?
39871What''s that roaring I hear?
39871What''s that you say?
39871What''s that?
39871What''s that?
39871What''s that?
39871What''s that?
39871What''s the difference between me and Christmas?
39871What''s the grudge?
39871What?
39871What?
39871What?
39871Where have you been, Jimmieboy?
39871Where have you been?
39871Where''s here?
39871Where''s the Dictionary button? 39871 Who are you, anyhow?"
39871Who are you? 39871 Who are you?"
39871Who are you?
39871Who are you?
39871Who?
39871Why not?
39871Why they twinkle? 39871 Why, do n''t you know that gas makes balloons go up?"
39871Why, the room''s full, is n''t it?
39871Why, what time do you have breakfast?
39871Why?
39871Why?
39871Will you?
39871With Bikey? 39871 Wo n''t you spoil your wall doing that?"
39871Would n''t the match light?
39871Writes?
39871Yes, I remember that; but I never really understood whether Pixyweevil ever became King? 39871 Yes, that''s all there; and then you remember how it winds up?
39871You ca n''t think very valuable thoughts, can you?
39871You can talk, can you?
39871You charge for the view-- is that it?
39871You do n''t expect me to give you toys and look after''em all at the same time, do you?
39871You do n''t owe me five dollars?
39871You do n''t suppose I wanted to commit soozlecide, do you? 39871 You do n''t, eh?"
39871You like those colors better than you do chocolate cream color?
39871You mean snub nose, do n''t you?
39871You mean to say you''d fly?
39871You never coasted on the North Pole, did you?
39871You think you''re bright, do n''t you?
39871You want fun do you? 39871 You would n''t like to taste some of my electric custard, would you?"
39871Your what?
39871_ Five minutes for refreshments._"What_ do_ you mean?
39871_ We_ ca n''t talk, can we Swanny?
39871A bit of toffee or a pie, A cat- boat or a cart?
39871Ah, here--""The what?"
39871And did you begin to make money?"
39871And is n''t it smooth?"
39871Are n''t you, Hosey?"
39871But do n''t you want to come in?"
39871But how is the custard?"
39871But tell me, Mr. Tree, how can I earn the apple?"
39871But, I say, was that what you wanted, or were you after one of my new patent typewriters that you wind up?
39871But, I say, why did n''t you turn aside instead of trying to ride over that lawn mower?
39871But, I say,"he added,"I ca n''t see you-- who are you?"
39871Ca n''t you forgive me?"
39871Ca n''t you tell me how it''s done so that I can tell my papa all about it?
39871Did n''t you know you''d get yourself into trouble?"
39871Do I look like what I told you I looked like?"
39871Do n''t they ever have wheels?
39871Do n''t they sprout out and hide the doll?"
39871Do they ever use honey for anything else but its stickiness?"
39871Do you feel safe?"
39871Do you know that?"
39871Do you know what a jiffy is?"
39871Do you mean to say you''ve summoned me away from my work at this season of the year just to bring you a glass of ice water?"
39871Do you remember the little key your papa uses to lock his new cigar box with?"
39871Do you sell what you think?"
39871Do you sing?"
39871Do you suppose I am in business for fun?"
39871Do you think you can get the key?"
39871Do you want to earn an apple?"
39871Eh?
39871Fine?"
39871Have n''t you seen a boy doubled up after eating an apple?
39871Have you any rubber neck clams?"
39871Have you enjoyed yourself?"
39871Have you got any music torpedoes?"
39871Have you got it with you?"
39871Hear that, Swayny?"
39871Here she goes:"Shall I become a lawyer great, A captain of a yacht, A man who deals in real estate, A doctor, or a what?
39871How do you like that?"
39871How far have you got?"
39871How the fairy had taken Pixyweevil and turned him into an oak sapling, which grew as the years passed by to be the most beautiful tree in the forest?"
39871How the tree shuddered as her tears fell to the ground, and how she thought it was the breeze blowing through the branches that made it shudder?"
39871I got the fagots all ready, lit the match, and what do you suppose happened?"
39871I suppose you know that to- morrow is Decoration Day?"
39871I''d like to take a trip through all the stars and see why they twinkle and----""Why they twinkle?"
39871II_ WHEELING ON THE BIG RING OF SATURN_"Had n''t we better go a little higher?"
39871If you catch''em in your hands you wo n''t be able to see how good they taste, do n''t you see?"
39871Ink bottles?"
39871Instead of saying''good morning, gentlemen who ride bicycles,''I say''good morning, biklemen, is there anything I can do for you?''"
39871Is it one of my new Conversational Brownies you are after?
39871Is n''t he a child?"
39871Is n''t that a trifle queer?"
39871Is that you?"
39871Is that you?"
39871Is the door open?"
39871It''s all very well and very necessary too to get eight hours of sleep every day, but what''s the use of wasting that time?
39871It''s very sticky, is n''t it?"
39871My guests have got to like everything, including me-- I, myself, see?
39871Or do we have to catch the custards in''em as they come out?"
39871Quite a record, eh?"
39871Ready Swayny?"
39871See that glistening thing just on the edge of the pink speck?"
39871See that?"
39871See that?"
39871Shall I buy An apple or a tart?
39871Shall we turn south?"
39871TOTHERWAYVILLE; THE ANIMAL TOWN_ TOTHERWAYVILLE; THE ANIMAL TOWN_"What place is this?"
39871The only point is, now, do you feel small enough to get into this room?"
39871Then you mean to say you are a view stealer, do you?"
39871This is n''t like all the other experiences, is it?"
39871Together and happily they went on until Jimmieboy said:--"Bikey, what''s that ahead?
39871Was it one of those you wanted?"
39871Was n''t that a great thing to do?"
39871Was that it?"
39871Well, how do you like this?
39871Well, now you think lilac is a delicate lavender, rose a pink, and raspberry a red-- eh?"
39871What did you suppose?
39871What do you say to listening to my library a little while?
39871What do you say?"
39871What do you want?"
39871What do_ you_ think it was?
39871What else shall I recite about?"
39871What is an angel?"
39871What is it called?"
39871What is it that''s brown like a cent, is bigger than a cent, is worth less than a cent, yet costs a cent?"
39871What shall I call you?"
39871What''s it short for?"
39871What''s the difference between writing poetry the way some people do and building a steeple as all people do?"
39871Where can the Brownies have gone?"
39871Where do you come from?"
39871Where have you been this time?"
39871Why do n''t you use your mind a little and call it skycycling?"
39871Why do you suppose there is n''t any such color?"
39871Why, if you really guessed, I would n''t know if you''d guessed right-- so what''s the use?"
39871Why, my dear fellow,"ejaculated the landlord,"what could you ask more real than those rubber viands?
39871Wo n''t you come in and look about you and see what an interesting country we have?
39871Wo n''t you let me come in and tell you about myself and see if you do n''t like me?
39871Would n''t that be fine?
39871You are going away?"
39871You ca n''t expect me to come down there with the fire burning, can you?
39871You did n''t know I was planted by a little boy who went to the war and got killed, did you?"
39871You do n''t suppose we''ve been standing still all this time, do you?
39871You know what a battery is, do n''t you?"
39871You like our animals, do you?"
39871You take a key, wind the thing up, having first loaded it with paper, and what do you suppose it does?"
39871said his papa, where have you been?"
39871that''s it, eh?"
19336''Hopeless''? 19336 ''Hopeless''?"
19336''Leading to''?

19336And do n''t you, where you are?
19336And have I got to keep two of these little hoodlums for a whole fortnight? 19336 And is it so bad as that?"
19336And is n''t there a yard, or-- or anything?
19336And is that sellin''his vote?
19336And it''s ours?--a whole automobile?
19336And what-- did you send?
19336And where? 19336 And-- didn''t he say that he''d call again sometime?"
19336Any physicians in your family?
19336Are there two?

19336Are you convinced, then?
19336Are you really positive?
19336B- bad way?
19336Baked ones?
19336Bobby, Bobby, how can you taunt me with it?
19336But what else did Miss Gale say? 19336 But what has that got to do with my dad?"
19336But what_ shall_ we do?
19336But who wants sensible things always? 19336 But whose letter was it?"
19336But why-- are you-- here?
19336But your mother does n''t know-- even that much?
19336But, Billy, do n''t you see? 19336 Ca n''t I do it?
19336Caleb, do you s''pose it''ll get up to the front- chamber window this year-- that rosebush, I mean?
19336Coming? 19336 Did she expect to please me with a thing like that?

19336What else is it, then?
19336What thing?
19336What would you rather have-- more than anything else in the world?
19336What''s the matter? 19336 What?"
19336What?
19336When they going, ma''am?
19336Where did you get this?
19336Where do you keep things for men?
19336Where is it now?
19336Who brings it?
19336Who do you think I am? 19336 Who is he?"
19336Who is this man?
19336Who''d ever have thought it? 19336 Who''ll go first?"
19336Who''s a- sellin''their vote?
19336Why, Herbert, what shall we do? 19336 Why, James!--have n''t you told them?"
19336Why, Sarah, do-- do you think that is quite-- wise?
19336Why, darling, what is it?
19336Why, how did you know that I had-- a brother?
19336Why, mother, it was n''t-- codfish; was it?
19336Why, yes, but--"Well, do n''t you think it is yours?
19336Why-- why did n''t you tell me?
19336Wise? 19336 Wo n''t the rain wash the-- plates?"
19336Would I be askin''if I did?
19336Write? 19336 Yes, but-- how?"
19336Yes, who is it?
19336You do n''t happen to be expecting a letter, do you, Charles?
19336You do n''t like them?
19336You mean that, Julia?
19336You mean you''d like to leave here?--to go to the city?
19336You-- you live here, do n''t you?
19336You-- you said_ you_ were expecting a letter, did n''t you?
19336Zounds, man!--did n''t you hear?
19336Zounds, man!--what did you come for, then?
19336_ Will_ you allow me to speak? 19336 Ai n''t he?
19336An'', oh, I say, what_ is_ yer name, pardner?"
19336An''he did n''t show up?
19336And now, dear Cousin Margaret, can you see a little what that Christmas box has been to us?
19336And now, how can I thank you--_you_ who have done this thing, who have been so wise beyond his mother?
19336And she smiled as she heard her niece''s voice in the drawing- room saying:"High studded, Eben?--these rooms?
19336And the day before?--and the day before that?--and before that?
19336And was yours-- a little girl?"
19336And what I want to know is, how did you find it out-- what Jimmy wanted?
19336And where, for the land''s sake, is the poor lamb going to find that?"
19336And will it talk-- say''papa''and''mamma,''you know?"
19336And yet-- must two thousand dollars be lost, all for the lack of ten dollars and fifteen cents?
19336And, after all, that''ll be lots nicer; do n''t you think so?"
19336And, by the way, how about that omelet?
19336And, oh, I say, me an''Bones are a- goin''off with him an''Rover after I''ve had somethin''ter eat--''t is mos''grub time, ai n''t it?"
19336And-- and-- we''ll never have to choose any more, will we, James?"
19336And_ will_ you inform me what all this is about?"
19336As big as me?
19336At four o''clock Mrs. Wentworth called from the house:"James, will you come here a minute, please?"
19336Bite?"
19336Books?"
19336But is n''t there some one else that could help?"
19336But we hardly knew him, and he was only a third or fourth cousin, anyway, was n''t he?
19336But, after all, what do calls and receptions amount to?
19336But, do n''t you see?
19336But-- where are we going to keep it?"
19336Ca n''t_ anything_ dampen your absurd high spirits?"
19336Caleb, do n''t you remember how lovely that crimson rambler was last year?"
19336Caleb, do you think that rosebush will get up to that window?"
19336Carroll?"
19336Catch who?"
19336Come, will you play to me?"
19336Dere, how''s dat?"
19336Did he not sport an automobile?
19336Did n''t he remember how I loved peppermints, and give me a whole box at Christmas?"
19336Did n''t they get''em?"
19336Did n''t you notice it in your room?"
19336Did our new automobile leave any eggs to make one?"
19336Did you know it?"
19336Do n''t we dig and dig like them?
19336Do n''t you remember?
19336Do n''t you see?"
19336Do you hear?"
19336Do you mean it?"
19336Do you see?
19336Does it cost that-- all that?
19336Had not the Wheelers for weeks past flaunted their ill- gotten wealth in the very eyes of the whole town?
19336Had she come to this-- a common caretaker?
19336Have I been-- naughty?"
19336Have they sent us the whole asylum?"
19336Have you gone clean crazy?"
19336Helen, why do n''t you say something?
19336Helen,_ ca n''t_ you get your mind for one moment off that dreadful store, and think of something higher?"
19336Herbert, what can we do?"
19336How could you have lived forty years-- without him?"
19336How did you know?
19336How ever in the world did you guess that it was beads that I wanted more than anything else in the world?
19336How in the world did you happen to think of a present so original, so cute, and so everlastingly entertaining?
19336How long did ye have ter chase her?"
19336How''m I goin''ter tell what ails me, I should like ter know, if I do n''t ache where I''m sick?
19336I bought''em last--""Spring-- eh?"
19336I like shell- stitch ever so much better, so would you mind doing it over for me?
19336If I shirk responsibility, what can I expect the others to do?"
19336Is it a bargain?"
19336Is n''t there something-- some little thing you would like?"
19336Let''s see, you put your clean dishes here?"
19336Like Mamie, you mean?"
19336Like enough that means I''m comin''down with the mumps; eh?"
19336Love?--the grocer?
19336Mother, it''s just that; do n''t you see?
19336Mrs. Howland was in her own room, on the point of preparing for bed, when there came a knock at her chamber door,"Please, Aunt Ellen, may I come in?"
19336My dear, how did you spend yesterday?"
19336Nice day, ai n''t it?"
19336Now ai n''t ye comin''?"
19336Now that will be fine, wo n''t it?"
19336Now there''s that club-- what was it, president or treasurer that they made him?
19336Now where shall I find Professor Marvin, please?"
19336Now, Hitty, do n''t ye remember?
19336Now, Hitty, which disease is it I''ve got?
19336Of what possible use were the hours it would tick away now?
19336Oh, Herbert, wo n''t it be lovely?"
19336Oh, Penelope, are n''t you glad?"
19336Oh, Polly Ann, Polly Ann, how could you have done such a thing, and got everything so hopelessly mixed?
19336Oh, is n''t it just splendid, Caleb?"
19336Oh, no, they do n''t hurt me, but I do n''t like them as well as I do caramels, so wo n''t you please change them?
19336Polly Ann cocked her head to one side and debated; did she dare ask Aunt Margaret to make the change?
19336Polly Ann, what did you do?
19336Really?
19336Room, sir?"
19336Say, Kitty, ai n''t dis grand?"
19336That is it-- that_ is_ it?"
19336That''s what I want ter know-- which?"
19336The dish- pan?--the wash- tub?--the chicken- yard?
19336There was only the pitiful whitening of a set little face, and the tense question:"How much-- was it?"
19336Think-- have you no son of your own that believes you''re almost-- God Himself?"
19336This is what she read:_ My dear Rose_: Thank you very much for the tidy, dear, but whatever in the world caused you to make it in that stitch?
19336Twenty- four hours later Jason faced a square- jawed, smooth- shaven man who looked sharply into his eyes with a curt,"Well, sir?"
19336Was he not living far beyond his means?
19336Was two thousand dollars to be lost-- and because of a paltry ninety- nine dollars and ninety- five cents?
19336Was ye?
19336What are you talking about?"
19336What be ye goin''ter do?--set here?
19336What did she say?
19336What does he do for a living?"
19336What for?"
19336What if it_ were_ May''s letter, after all?"
19336What if something should go wrong?
19336What is it about-- Herbert?"
19336What mattered the blue of the heavens or the green of the earth outside?
19336What mattered the sheen of silver on the emerald velvet of the valley far below?
19336What''s the use o''mopin''like dis when youse got a invite out ter T''anksgivin''?
19336When had she received a package before?
19336Where are they, Hannah?"
19336Where are you going to keep hens and cows?"
19336Where can Rover have put it?"
19336Where did you get them, then,--those medical books?"
19336Where was ninety- nine dollars and ninety- five cents to come from in the few days yet remaining?
19336Where, indeed, was the thousand to be found?
19336Which two are you going to keep?"
19336While John and Julia-- dear, dear, what shall I do?
19336Who wants it to?"
19336Why ca n''t he-- help?
19336Why did n''t she, Theron,--why did n''t she?"
19336Why did n''t ye tell a feller?"
19336Why not?"
19336Why, child, what ails you?"
19336Why, daughter, how could you be so careless?"
19336Why, doctor, how-- how many are thar?"
19336Wo n''t they take it?
19336Would n''t he, if he knew?"
19336You have them, have n''t you?"
19336You saw that, did n''t you?
19336You understand?
19336You were well before, were n''t you?"
19336You''re not so high up, are you?"
19336_ Are n''t_ you nearly ready?"
19336_ Now_ what have I said?"
19336hain''t fellers what''s pardners oughter do a turn fur''t odder?"
19336he reproached the man; then to the Girl:"_ Does_ ye know him?
19336the floorwalker?
19336the milkman?
19336what-- what is it?
19336who cares for Danny O''Flannigan?"
60625A nut cracker?
60625A rat, is she?
60625A real, live little girl in the snow?
60625Am I dreaming? 60625 Am I spilling the clothes pins?"
60625And may we come?
60625And that would spoil my skates, would n''t it?
60625And they wo n''t hurt me, will they?
60625And wear my best clothes?
60625And will you please let me help this poor family? 60625 And will you take the things down the black chimneys?"
60625Are Toodle and Noodle in the house?
60625Are n''t you birds sad because you have freckled eggs? 60625 Are n''t you going to use that fine car any more?
60625Are you a little camel?
60625Are you going to be gone long?
60625Are you going to blow the New Year in, also?
60625Are you sure you are n''t going for_ yourself_?
60625But I always get away from them; do n''t I?
60625But I ca n''t have any fire- crackers now, can I?
60625But ca n''t you just look in at the party, Uncle Wiggily? 60625 But how am I going to get in with the animal boys and girls?
60625But how can you?
60625But how did I get this way?
60625But how did you get your stockings so clean, without going home and changing them?
60625But is that your only sorrow-- wishing you were back in the circus?
60625But now, Wiggy,she went on,"if I get the baskets ready, will you start out with them?"
60625But tell me, why are n''t you with the show now?
60625But was n''t it lucky that tree fell when it did?
60625But what is the matter?
60625But why are you taking your old boots along?
60625But why does he do it? 60625 But why in the world did you bring away the cranberry sauce?
60625But will you please take my scissors with you, Uncle Wiggily?
60625But will your little birds be speckled, too?
60625Ca n''t I go to Alice''s party if it rains?
60625Ca n''t I stay home to- morrow?
60625Ca n''t I?
60625Ca n''t you help the children, Uncle Wiggily?
60625Ca n''t you please be a little quiet? 60625 Ca n''t you tell by the way you feel-- inside, you know,"asked the bunny,"what became of your cud?"
60625Can you sharpen scissors?
60625Can you?
60625Careful? 60625 Cherry pie?
60625Could n''t I help wash the dishes or make the beds?
60625Could you give me some honey for a good boy with bad mumps?
60625Did I put on my garden trousers that have patches?
60625Did he fall down and bump himself?
60625Did she take an umbrella?
60625Did you do that?
60625Did you ever eat a cherry pie?
60625Did you get the candles, Cora?
60625Did you get your sister, Beckie, any Fourth of July things?
60625Did you make that wild rabbit stop his digging?
60625Did you run away, too, as the lion did?
60625Did you say''bumps,''Doctor?
60625Did you?
60625Do n''t the animal ladies buy your needles, pins and spools of thread? 60625 Do n''t you think so, Nurse Jane?"
60625Do you mean to say you are going to hurt good, kind Uncle Wiggily, who has just given me a cherry pie?
60625Do you s''pose that can be the Fuzzy Fox or the Woozie Wolf?
60625Do you s''pose, Billie,he asked the goat boy,"that your old horns could be made into blowing ones for New Year''s?"
60625Do you think it is April Fool, and are you going to wear an old hat so the animal boys wo n''t play tricks on you?
60625Do you think you can?
60625Do you want to go on?
60625Does more furniture need dusting?
60625Does the Woozie Wolf or the Fuzzy Fox wish to nibble my ears?
60625Eh? 60625 Has anything happened?"
60625Have I?
60625Have they?
60625Have you found something to play with?
60625Have-- have they come after me?
60625He wo n''t try to catch us, will he?
60625How about torpedoes?
60625How are you going to stop me?
60625How did you come to lose it-- or miss it?
60625How do you mean help them?
60625How in the world did Santa Claus get down our black chimney?
60625How you going to blow?
60625How?
60625How?
60625I am not hungry and----"Is that thunder?
60625I do n''t s''pose I could even have a Roman candle, or a pinwheel, could I?
60625I fooled you, did n''t I? 60625 I s''pose if Nurse Jane were here she might ask what good that would do?"
60625I wonder how I can help that girl?
60625I wonder how I could get a New Year''s horn for that poor boy?
60625I wonder if I can catch you?
60625I wonder if I could n''t find some way of amusing them? 60625 I wonder if I said a little verse, such as I have read in fairy books, whether they would go away?"
60625I wonder if that can be the lion again?
60625I wonder if that funny rabbit, dressed up like a little old man, could have brought me the cotton?
60625I wonder if there is n''t any way of making that bad boy good?
60625I wonder what I can do to make that little girl feel happier? 60625 I wonder what he means?
60625I wonder what is it she has tried to take off with lemon juice? 60625 I wonder what that funny noise is?"
60625I wonder where he is?
60625I wonder who it is that ca n''t be in the story books any more? 60625 I wonder who it was?"
60625I wonder who that is?
60625I wonder who that rabbit was?
60625I wonder whom they are going to bring back?
60625If she''s only a little one-- almost a baby-- couldn''t we put her on one of our sleds?
60625Is Santa Claus coming to your house?
60625Is anybody there?
60625Is he?
60625Is it anything I can eat that wo n''t hurt my mumps?
60625Is it going to rain or snow?
60625Is n''t Brother going to school?
60625Is n''t there some way you can stop that boy from throwing sticks and stones at us?
60625Is that what you want us to do?
60625It may be fun for_ you_, but how about whoever it is you''re going to scare stiff? 60625 Johnnie, do n''t you want to come and be a nut cracker for some children?"
60625Let me see, how can I do it without letting him see me? 60625 Let me see, what else would the animal children take?"
60625May I come down?
60625May I help? 60625 May I see the eggs in your nest?"
60625Now how can I get her to follow me through the woods, to see the nest, when I ca n''t talk to her?
60625Nurse Jane will say I''m queer; but what matter? 60625 Oh, I wonder if we could take this squirrel home with us, as we took the Wild Tame Rabbit?"
60625Oh, is that a fairy story?
60625Oh, may I go?
60625Oh, so you have run away from the circus also, like the lion and tiger?
60625Oh, what shall we do?
60625Oh, what''s that?
60625Oh, where did you get the candles?
60625Oh, where is my house?
60625Oh, why ca n''t I eat something that wo n''t hurt my mumps?
60625Oh, why have n''t we some cotton?
60625Oh, wo n''t we have fun, blowing the New Year in?
60625Oh, you''re a tiger, are n''t you?
60625Or cats or dogs, either?
60625Rabbit tracks?
60625Shall I call them out?
60625So Baby Bunty wants to go, does she? 60625 So they are going to play tick- tack on the Little Old Lady of Mulberry Lane; are they?"
60625So this is her home, is it?
60625Some honey for a good boy with the bad mumps?
60625Something over in the woods, Baby Bunty?
60625Suppose I lift you upon my back and carry you that way?
60625Take your scissors? 60625 Talking about what?"
60625Then it ca n''t nibble your ears; can it?
60625Then why not go for a ride in your auto?
60625This cud of yours-- may I ask what it is?
60625Tired of what?
60625Uncle Wiggily? 60625 Was that you making the noise like a storm?"
60625Water around their tent?
60625We could give them something to eat,spoke Nurse Jane,"but how are we going to get it to them?
60625Well, mine did; else how could this live rabbit be here, and my toy one gone?
60625Well, what can this be?
60625Well, what''s in the woods, Baby Bunty; the Fox, the Skeezicks or the Pipsisewah?
60625Well, why does n''t he go and dig up some of the bones he must have buried? 60625 What I think, Baby Bunty?"
60625What are Indians?
60625What are you going to do with the rope?
60625What are you going to do?
60625What baskets are you speaking of?
60625What boy?
60625What can we do?
60625What can we play with?
60625What do you want from the store?
60625What do you want?
60625What else would he eat?
60625What for?
60625What has happened to me?
60625What in the world are you doing, Uncle Wiggily?
60625What in the world can be the matter?
60625What is going on out there?
60625What is it she wants the sun to make go away? 60625 What is it?"
60625What is the matter?
60625What is the matter?
60625What is the matter?
60625What made you do it, Boysie?
60625What made you think so?
60625What others?
60625What was gone?
60625What was that?
60625What will happen if it did?
60625What you s''pose is the matter of me, Mother?
60625What you think has happened?
60625What you think it is?
60625What you think? 60625 What you think?
60625What you want''em for?
60625What''s it all about?
60625What''s that? 60625 What''s that?
60625What''s that? 60625 What''s that?"
60625What''s that?
60625What''s that?
60625What''s the matter now?
60625What''s the matter now?
60625What''s the matter with you?
60625What''s the matter, Boysie?
60625What''s the matter, Bully?
60625What''s the matter, Wiggy? 60625 What''s the matter?
60625What''s the matter?
60625What''s the matter?
60625What''s the matter?
60625What''s the matter?
60625What''s the trouble?
60625When do you s''pose there''ll be skating?
60625Where are you going, Tame Rabbit? 60625 Where are you going, Wiggy?"
60625Where are you going?
60625Where are you going?
60625Where are you going?
60625Where did you get the horns?
60625Where does the Old Year go when you blow it away?
60625Where is Baby Bunty, Nurse Jane?
60625Where is he?
60625Where shall I drive to, Lady Cat?
60625Where''s any wolf?
60625Where''s that piece of rope?
60625Where''s your box of paints?
60625Who are you, and what is the matter?
60625Who brought you home, Bumps?
60625Who did it?
60625Who do you s''pose did?
60625Who is Nurse Jane?
60625Who is taking my carrots, Nurse Jane?
60625Who is?
60625Who sent it to you?
60625Who''s scattering that gravel?
60625Whoever heard of a rabbit like that? 60625 Whoever heard of snow on the Fourth of July?"
60625Why are you so restless?
60625Why are you spoiling my garden?
60625Why be careful to- morrow, more than on any other day in the year?
60625Why ca n''t I find it?
60625Why ca n''t we go out and play?
60625Why do n''t you scratch sand and gravel in his eyes as you did in the face of the bad boy?
60625Why do you put them there?
60625Why does n''t it stop?
60625Why does the dog run away from that good boy? 60625 Why is he so anxious to catch you?"
60625Why not?
60625Why not?
60625Why not?
60625Why not?
60625Why not?
60625Why will our girl birdies cry?
60625Why, who could have left it?
60625Why?
60625Why?
60625Will it ever stop?
60625Will the wolf bite?
60625Will you come with me, and help save a real boy?
60625Will you ever learn to walk without stumbling?
60625Will you put salve on it for him, Nurse Jane?
60625Will you-- er-- have a cup-- I mean a_ washtub_ of tea?
60625Will you? 60625 Wo n''t teacher be surprised when I put this on her desk and tell her Uncle Wiggily gave it to me?
60625Wo n''t you be good enough to hide me and the cranberry sauce until after Thanksgiving? 60625 Would n''t you like to come to the party?"
60625Would n''t you like to?
60625Would n''t you?
60625Yes, but how did she get home?
60625You are n''t thinking of going out in this storm; are you?
60625You are?
60625You hit him, but what good did it do?
60625You''ll be all right, wo n''t you?
60625_ What_ in the world have you brought with you, Mr. Gobble Obble?
60625A_ gold_ wolf?
60625And then, all at once, there was a rustling in the bushes and a voice asked:"Who calls for help?"
60625And they''ll be lighted, and I can blow them out and cut the cake and pass it around; ca n''t I, Mother?"
60625And why does n''t he go to the duck pond and get a drink, I wonder?"
60625Anybody there?"
60625Are n''t you coming?"
60625Are n''t you glad, Uncle Wiggily?"
60625Are you going to make a bedquilt?"
60625Better run; what?"
60625But are you Uncle Wiggily Longears?"
60625But how can you get it home?
60625But we know better than that; do n''t we?
60625But we know it was n''t a dream; do n''t we?
60625But we know it was n''t the wind; do n''t we?
60625But what do you know of my friends, the lion and tiger?"
60625But what happened?"
60625Ca n''t you do something to stop it, Mother?"
60625Ca n''t you get some cotton without going to the store?"
60625Ca n''t you mend your best petticoat with all those?"
60625Can you please tell me where it is?"
60625Cow?"
60625Did n''t you bring the nut cracker?"
60625Did you ever fall into a mud puddle when you had on your very best clothes, with white stockings that showed every speck of mud?
60625Did you like it, Baby Bunty?"
60625Do n''t you think so?
60625Do you mean it is the kind you animal boys sometimes get up; where you charge two pins to get in and three pins for a seat?"
60625He did get the snuffles, but of course that could n''t be helped, and it was n''t much for falling through the ice; was it?
60625How can I get in?"
60625How can I make them disappear so I will be beautiful?
60625How could you play such a trick?"
60625How did you get them?"
60625How would an old rabbit gentleman and two funny puppy dog boys look walking into a real circus?
60625I do n''t see anybody but a big elephant?"
60625I wonder how I can make that boy believe this?
60625I wonder how I can?
60625I wonder if I can help him find his way home?"
60625I wonder if I can help?"
60625I wonder if I could leave on his doorstep something he would like-- something that he would n''t have to chew and which would slip down easily?"
60625I wonder if I could make that bad boy good?"
60625I wonder if I could see their nest and eggs?
60625I wonder what it is?"
60625I wonder who is squeezing the rubber ball?
60625I wonder who she is, and what''s the matter?"
60625Is anybody there, trying to play Hallowe''en tricks on a poor, lone body like me?
60625Is n''t that dreadful?"
60625Is the chimney on fire again?"
60625Is the house on fire?"
60625Is this a fairy?
60625Is this how you help me?"
60625It was better to wait until your mumps were gone; was n''t it?
60625Just stop for a moment?"
60625Now let me see; what shall we have next?
60625Now we can go coasting; ca n''t we, Mother?"
60625Now what do you suppose that boy did?
60625Now would you like to hear a story about Uncle Wiggily and the tiger?
60625Patches?"
60625Please take me coasting?"
60625Please turn skipping rope for us?"
60625Rheumatism again?"
