| 17208 | Am I come hither,said the proud, ill- bred girl,"to serve you with water, pray? |
| 17208 | And how will you do that? |
| 17208 | Are they my brothers? |
| 17208 | Does she live far off? |
| 17208 | God grant it,replied the Queen;"but is there no way to make the eldest, who is so pretty, have any sense?" |
| 17208 | How can that be? |
| 17208 | How is it,said he,"that the key of my closet is not among the rest?" |
| 17208 | I am coming,answered his wife; and then she cried,"Anne, sister Anne, dost thou not see any one coming?" |
| 17208 | One moment longer, if you please,said his wife; and then she cried out very softly,"Anne, sister Anne, dost thou see anybody coming?" |
| 17208 | One moment longer,said his wife, and then she cried out,"Anne, sister Anne, dost thou see nobody coming?" |
| 17208 | Well, mother? |
| 17208 | What are you doing there, my good woman? |
| 17208 | What is it I see there? |
| 17208 | Who''s there? |
| 17208 | Who''s there? |
| 17208 | Will you not come down? |
| 17208 | Are you dissatisfied with my birth, my wit, my humor, or my manners?" |
| 17208 | As she was doing this, they said to her:--"Cinderella, would you not be glad to go to the ball?" |
| 17208 | At this Cinderella, smiling, replied:--"Was she then so very beautiful? |
| 17208 | Blue Beard, having examined it, said to his wife:--"How comes this stain upon the key?" |
| 17208 | Can you pretend this, you who have so great a share, and desired so earnestly to have it? |
| 17208 | Could I not see her? |
| 17208 | Do you know that this house belongs to a cruel Ogre who eats little children?" |
| 17208 | He had already taken hold of one of them when his wife said to him:--"What need you do it now? |
| 17208 | Her godmother, who was a fairy, said to her,"You wish you could go to the ball; is it not so?" |
| 17208 | How happens this, my child?" |
| 17208 | I suppose this silver tankard was brought purely for your ladyship, was it? |
| 17208 | Is it reasonable that persons of wit and sense should be in a worse condition than those who have none? |
| 17208 | Putting aside my ugliness and deformity, is there anything in me which displeased you? |
| 17208 | So soon as her mother saw her coming, she cried out:--"Well, daughter?" |
| 17208 | The fairy then said to Cinderella,"Well, you see here a carriage fit to go to the ball in; are you not pleased with it?" |
| 17208 | What are they now doing in the forest? |
| 17208 | Will you not have time enough to- morrow?" |
| 17208 | Would you not be glad, my dear, to have the same gift? |
| 17208 | You wished to go into the cabinet? |
| 17208 | cried out his wife,"could you really take the children and lose them?" |
| 17208 | cried the mother,"what is it I see? |
| 17208 | dear madam,"answered Little Thumb( who, with his brothers, was trembling in every limb),"what shall we do? |
| 17208 | my Lord Marquis,"cried the King,"and does this castle also belong to you? |
| 17208 | poor babies, where do you come from? |
| 17208 | said he,"my merry lads, are you there? |
| 17208 | said the Princess,"this is very pretty; how do you do it? |
| 17208 | she cried;"but must I go as I am in these rags?" |
| 17208 | what have I done?" |
| 17208 | where are my children now, my poor children?" |
| 17208 | where are our poor children now? |
| 26885 | And pray, Leonora,said Mrs. Lenox,"what is your wish?" |
| 26885 | And to what place, my dear,cried the old woman,"was your mamma going when you lost her?" |
| 26885 | But why should I pity you? |
| 26885 | But would not your thoughts change with your fortune? 26885 Can you then,"said the tutor to Billy,"take pleasure in seeing innocent creatures suffer, and hear their cries without pity?" |
| 26885 | Do not you observe,said his father to him,"how agreeable the change is of every thing before you? |
| 26885 | Do you not think, Tommy,said his father to him,"that summer has its delights as well as winter and spring?" |
| 26885 | In what manner,she would sometimes say,"can I think of requiting you, to my own satisfaction, for the tender care you have taken of me?" |
| 26885 | Is it possible that I have some recollection of your features? 26885 My dear Frederick,"he would sometimes say,"what could I have done to deserve being treated in this manner? |
| 26885 | Pray who told you that I was vexed? 26885 This is a very good old man,"said he;"but would God have punished me, had I taken these pears without his leave?" |
| 26885 | To what purpose,said she to herself,"am I dressed in these fine clothes? |
| 26885 | What is it makes you look so pensive now,said her father,"since it is but a few minutes ago when you were so remarkably cheerful?" |
| 26885 | What is the matter with you, my dear child? |
| 26885 | What is the matter with you, my little dear,said one,"that you cry so sadly?" |
| 26885 | What would your pain be then,said the tutor,"were I thus to pluck all the hair off your head? |
| 26885 | Who is that,said Stephen,"that you intend to be revenged on?" |
| 26885 | Will you buy a pretty bird or two, Miss? |
| 26885 | ''Am I,''said he,''to squander my fortune upon you? |
| 26885 | ''What, where my mother is?'' |
| 26885 | --"And your father?" |
| 26885 | --"Me, mamma, me?" |
| 26885 | --"Well, and what of all that?" |
| 26885 | But pray tell me how you have so well managed to get the better of your temper?" |
| 26885 | But what was to be done with the bird without a cage, and Nancy had not money enough? |
| 26885 | Can it be little Francis?" |
| 26885 | Can you think that God will be pleased with such conduct?" |
| 26885 | Have you now any wish to cut those bushes down, which you will perhaps no longer consider as robbers?" |
| 26885 | Her mother, seeing her in tears, jocosely said to her,"My dear, shall I have another slip made up for you against to- morrow?" |
| 26885 | How shall we describe the situation of poor Frederick, who loved his friend tenderly, and for whom he would, on occasion, have sacrificed his life? |
| 26885 | I will watch over you, and serve you: shall I, my dear Miss Bella?" |
| 26885 | Obstinacy?" |
| 26885 | Of what a deal of pleasure do they debar me; and do not all my present sufferings arise merely from the possession of them?" |
| 26885 | Should any of my readers, like Anabella, lose themselves, would they not be happy to meet with so good an old woman as she did? |
| 26885 | Suppose Miss Charlotte''s apples had been ten times finer than mine, would that be any consideration to me? |
| 26885 | What can be the reason, that nature has so suddenly put on such a different aspect?" |
| 26885 | What heart but must melt with pity and admiration at the relation of such facts? |
| 26885 | What heart could fail to relent at these words? |
| 26885 | What, suffer such innocent things as those to be killed by the merciless talons of a cat?" |
| 26885 | When mamma died, you comforted me, though you wept yourself; but now, to whom am I to look for comfort? |
| 26885 | Which, then, is the best bred, you or the farmer?" |
| 26885 | Why has he so many good friends, while I have not a single one?" |
| 26885 | Will you forgive me?" |
| 26885 | Will you let me sing a pretty song to divert you?" |
| 26885 | Wo n''t you be so kind, Sir John, as to let them come out one of these days, and take a mouthful of the country air with us? |
| 26885 | but you must not die; what would then become of me? |
| 26885 | did my dear father die yesterday, while I was thinking of the pleasure I should this day have on seeing him? |
| 26885 | how do you sell your wigs and your muffs?" |
| 26885 | my dearest little friends, how have you contrived to forget this, and thereby make me and yourselves miserable?" |
| 26885 | replied her papa;"why does that seem to rejoice you so much?" |
| 26885 | when will you get up?" |
| 26885 | why do you lie so long? |
| 43854 | And if you were a man,replied the peer,"what then would you do?" |
| 43854 | Can there be any creature,said he,"more lovely than the angel I have married? |
| 43854 | Did you make no enquiry after so great a loss? |
| 43854 | How happy am I,said I to myself,"at once to jump into so capital a place? |
| 43854 | Is it possible,said they,"that our major can be ashamed of having once been what we are at present? |
| 43854 | Is not this,said the lady,"a neat apartment? |
| 43854 | What do you mean,said he,"by taking these freedoms with me?" |
| 43854 | What is the matter with you? |
| 43854 | --"Is it possible,"replied the younger brother,"that you have forgotten us? |
| 43854 | --"Is not your name Nadir?" |
| 43854 | Are you not always uneasy in yourself, and constantly dissatisfied with others? |
| 43854 | At last,"Where am I?" |
| 43854 | Besides, rich as you imagine your father to be, are you sure that, while we are now speaking, he is not a ruined and undone man?" |
| 43854 | But tell me, my dear friend, has it taught you to live alone? |
| 43854 | Can the art of man produce any thing similar to this? |
| 43854 | Can you be any ways surprised, should I be tempted to dispute the instructions of Alibeg, and place her as the partner of my throne?" |
| 43854 | Do you know what you are talking of? |
| 43854 | Has cruel fortune robbed her of all she boasted, of all she valued herself for but a month ago, her fortune and her beauty? |
| 43854 | Have you any clothes to give her? |
| 43854 | How can I dispose of it better than in cherishing the distressed, and in taking virtue by the hand to raise it above the wrecks of fortune?" |
| 43854 | How can I forsake these faithful companions of my retirement, my dogs, my doves, and my cattle? |
| 43854 | How can any person be at a loss for thoughts who has ten children, and fifty children''s children to think for? |
| 43854 | How, in the midst of salt do they preserve a flesh that has not the least taste of it? |
| 43854 | If the rose has thorns, has it not also a balsamic tincture and ambrosial sweetness? |
| 43854 | If the woodbine droops, laden with the dew drops of the morning, when the sun has exhaled them, will it not be refreshed, and yield richer fragrance? |
| 43854 | In the first place, what master has taught them that they had need of any? |
| 43854 | In the third place, who has made these little feathered animals sensible, that they are to hatch their eggs by sitting over them? |
| 43854 | Is it possible, that any one can live without the converse of a friend? |
| 43854 | Is this the whole of your property, my friend?" |
| 43854 | Madam Clarisse perceiving the situation of her amiable servant,"My dear Maria,"said she,"why do you weep? |
| 43854 | Say, are these things true?" |
| 43854 | Surely such unhappy boys must be very ignorant all their lives; for what can they learn without books? |
| 43854 | The richest men in the village had no better beginning, and why may not I do as well as they have?" |
| 43854 | What architect has directed them to chuse a firm place, and to build upon a solid foundation? |
| 43854 | What can be expected from a youth, when he shall arrive at manhood, who has thus passed the morning of his life? |

| 43854 | What tender mother has advised them to line the bottom of them with materials so soft and nice as down and cotton? |
| 43854 | What, my dear sister, will become of us, and what shall we do without them? |
| 43854 | What, said I to myself, can occasion it? |
| 43854 | Who has taken care to forewarn them to get them ready in time, and not to be prevented by necessity? |
| 43854 | Who has taught them that knowledge of calculating time, so as to make them able to know precisely the number of days of this rigorous attendance? |
| 43854 | Who has told them how they must be contrived? |
| 43854 | Who will, in future, be the comfort of my existence? |
| 43854 | Why wouldst thou not at last help me to put an end to them all?'' |
| 43854 | Will beauty make you lovely? |
| 43854 | You must then act the part of father and mother; but how will you be able to do this, if you give way to such immoderate grief? |
| 43854 | and to whom am I to tell my tales of past woe?" |
| 43854 | and yet how many of those children prefer the most idle pastimes to the more invaluable improvement of their minds? |
| 43854 | can you wish to be divested of this genuine test of_ tenderness_, and desire the departure of_ Sensibility_? |
| 43854 | cried he;"and what is it I have heard? |
| 43854 | have I then lost you for ever?" |
| 43854 | have you any house of your own? |
| 43854 | my beloved partner of happiness and misery,"said she,"why am I thus sorrowful and wretched? |
| 43854 | said he to the old cottager,"I suppose you are ill, and obliged to keep your bed?" |
| 43854 | said the young gentlefolks in derision,"and did they serve you so? |
| 43854 | that he gluttonizes on the fruits of his robberies in private? |
| 43854 | what is become of that lovely face, of which the proud Bella so lately boasted? |
| 43854 | why do I thus fly in the face of Providence, for depriving us only of the baubles of life? |
| 33511 | And how do you know that? |
| 33511 | And how would you do that? |
| 33511 | Are you all asleep? 33511 Beauty,"said the monster to her,"will you allow me to look on while you are eating your supper?" |
| 33511 | But, dear sister,said he,"where would you have us go to find the King of the Peacocks?" |
| 33511 | By what wonderful power are you enabled to speak, little Frog? |
| 33511 | Do you think I came here just to draw water for you? |
| 33511 | Does she live far from here? |
| 33511 | How can that be done? |
| 33511 | How comes it,said he,"that the key of the closet is not with the others?" |
| 33511 | How could I have imagined that I should be able to control such wild and fiery horses? 33511 How do you do it? |
| 33511 | How, my Lord Marquis,exclaimed the King,"this castle belongs to you? |
| 33511 | Is it my brothers? |
| 33511 | Is our boat having a dance on the water? |
| 33511 | Is that all? |
| 33511 | Is that all? |
| 33511 | Is there nothing you wish me to buy for you? |
| 33511 | Shall we remain here long? |
| 33511 | Well,he said,"have her brothers, I wonder, told me the truth? |
| 33511 | What are you doing there? |
| 33511 | What do I not owe you, valiant liberator? |
| 33511 | What do you want of me? |
| 33511 | What do you wish to do with me? |
| 33511 | What is the meaning of this? |
| 33511 | What must I do then,replied the Queen,"to soften your heart?" |
| 33511 | What shall we do, my daughter? |
| 33511 | Who is there? |
| 33511 | Why could n''t she ask for wearing apparel as we did? 33511 Why should I cry about my father''s death? |
| 33511 | Will you not come down? |
| 33511 | You consent? |
| 33511 | You would so like to go to the ball, is not that it? |
| 33511 | Are we not more attractive than she is?" |
| 33511 | Are you dissatisfied with my birth, my understanding, my temper, or my manners?" |
| 33511 | At that moment, the enchantment being ended, the Princess awoke, and gazing at him for the first time with unexpected tenderness,"Is it you, Prince?" |
| 33511 | Blue Beard having examined it, said to his wife,"Why is there blood on this key?" |
| 33511 | But confess now, you think me very ugly, do you not?" |
| 33511 | Can you assert this-- you who have so much, and who so earnestly desired to possess it? |
| 33511 | Cinderella smiled, and said,"She was very lovely, then? |
| 33511 | Could not I get a sight of her? |
| 33511 | He had already seized one of them, when his wife said to him,"Why are you doing that at this hour of night? |
| 33511 | He had ridden post- haste, and in great astonishment asked what was the meaning of this horrible spectacle? |
| 33511 | He was ready to die with mingled joy and sorrow; he called to them with all his might, and they heard him, but how was he to reach them? |
| 33511 | How is this, my daughter?" |
| 33511 | Is it his fault that he is ugly and that he is not clever? |
| 33511 | Is it reasonable that persons of intellect should be in a worse position than those that have none? |
| 33511 | Is she more beautiful than her portrait?" |
| 33511 | Know you not that this is the house of an ogre who eats little children?" |
| 33511 | On hearing this, the Queen could no longer restrain her tears:"Alas, what have I done to you,"she cried,"that you should keep me here? |
| 33511 | Once more she said,"Are we near, are we anywhere near it now?" |
| 33511 | Setting aside my ugliness, is there anything in me that displeases you? |
| 33511 | She had lost almost all her fear of the monster, but she almost died of fright, when he said,"Beauty, will you be my wife?" |
| 33511 | So the two Princes started on their long journey, and they asked everyone whom they met,"Do you know the King of the Peacocks?" |
| 33511 | The King and Queen, however, said to each other,"What worse thing could happen to us? |
| 33511 | The King said to his brother"If the King of the Peacocks is a peacock himself, how can our sister marry him? |
| 33511 | The fairy has ordered a bunch of the most beautiful flowers, and where am I to find them? |
| 33511 | The fairy then said to Cinderella,"Well, there is something in which to go to the ball; are you not well pleased?" |
| 33511 | Then at last, when she asked again,"Are we anywhere near it now?" |
| 33511 | They said to one another,"Why should this wretched little thing be happier than we are? |
| 33511 | To whom have I to talk in these solitudes? |
| 33511 | Too late the poor Queen repented of her rashness:"What could I have been thinking of?" |
| 33511 | What are they now doing in the forest? |
| 33511 | What can have happened that we should be so ill- treated?" |
| 33511 | What have I done to the King that he should banish me? |
| 33511 | When she was fifteen years old, the big Prince said to the King,"Father, my sister is old enough to be married; shall we not soon have a wedding?" |
| 33511 | When the wicked fairy found out that the Queen did not sleep on the ground, she sent for her:"What gods or men are they who protect you?" |
| 33511 | Whilst she was busy with the hairdressing, they said to her,"Cinderella, should you be very glad to go to the ball?" |
| 33511 | Why did I refuse to marry him? |
| 33511 | Will it not be time enough to- morrow?" |
| 33511 | With whom can I share my troubles? |
| 33511 | Would you not be glad to receive a similar gift? |
| 33511 | You must be joking to talk like this of hanging us; have we stolen anything from you?" |
| 33511 | [ Illustration:''_ Grandma, what great ears you have!_''_ Little Red Riding- Hood_]"Who is there?" |
| 33511 | [ Illustration:''_ The King''s son gave her his hand._''_ Cinderella._]"Yes, but am I to go in these dirty old clothes?" |
| 33511 | can you possibly consent to such a cruel thing? |
| 33511 | cried the mother,"what do I see? |
| 33511 | do you not see anything coming?" |
| 33511 | do you not see anything coming?" |
| 33511 | do you not see anything coming?" |
| 33511 | do you not see anything coming?" |
| 33511 | exclaimed the woodcutter''s wife,"Can you find the heart to lose your own children?" |
| 33511 | replied Little Thumbling, who trembled from head to foot, as indeed did all his brothers,"what shall we do? |
| 33511 | responded the Queen,"and what kind of people do you see here? |
| 33511 | she asked her;"is there to be no end to our misery?" |
| 33511 | what have I done?" |
| 33511 | what will become of me? |
| 33511 | what would you ask of me?" |
| 33511 | where are now my children, my poor children?" |
| 33511 | where now are our poor children? |
| 33511 | who would not be so, dear friend? |
| 31431 | ''Alas, dear friend,''said the queen,''who would not be so? |
| 31431 | ''And what must I do to soften your heart?'' |
| 31431 | ''Beauty,''said the monster to her,''may I watch you have your supper?'' |
| 31431 | ''Do you hear that?'' |
| 31431 | ''Do you refuse to come down?'' |
| 31431 | ''Do you think I have come here just to get you a drink?'' |
| 31431 | ''Does she live far away?'' |
| 31431 | ''How can I ever repay you, my gallant deliverer?'' |
| 31431 | ''How can that be done?'' |
| 31431 | ''How comes it,''he said to her,''that the key of the little room is not with the others?'' |
| 31431 | ''How do you know that?'' |
| 31431 | ''How will you manage that?'' |
| 31431 | ''I suppose you think I brought a silver flagon here specially for that purpose-- it''s so likely, is n''t it? |
| 31431 | ''If the King of the Peacocks is himself a peacock,''said the king to his brother,''how can our sister dream of marrying him? |
| 31431 | ''Impossible?'' |
| 31431 | ''Is it my brothers?'' |
| 31431 | ''Is it you, dear prince?'' |
| 31431 | ''Is our vessel doing a dance upon the water?'' |
| 31431 | ''Is that all?'' |
| 31431 | ''Is that all?'' |
| 31431 | ''Is this castle also yours, marquis? |
| 31431 | ''My dear sister,''he said,''where do you suppose that we are to find the King of the Peacocks?'' |
| 31431 | ''My sister is old enough now to marry, Sire,''he said;''shall we not soon be celebrating her wedding?'' |
| 31431 | ''Oh, yes, but am I to go like this in my ugly clothes?'' |
| 31431 | ''Shall we remain here long?'' |
| 31431 | ''Well, mother?'' |
| 31431 | ''Well,''said he;''did her brothers speak the truth? |
| 31431 | ''What are we to do, my child?'' |
| 31431 | ''What are you doing, my good woman?'' |
| 31431 | ''What do you seek to do to me?'' |
| 31431 | ''What do you want to do it now for?'' |
| 31431 | ''What is there worse that could happen to us?'' |
| 31431 | ''What possessed me,''she cried,''to think that I could manage such wild and fiery steeds? |
| 31431 | ''What''s the matter with you all?'' |
| 31431 | ''What''s this I have done?'' |
| 31431 | ''What''s this?'' |
| 31431 | ''What?'' |
| 31431 | ''Why is there blood on this key?'' |
| 31431 | ''Why should I lament my father''s death? |
| 31431 | ''Why should this chit be happier than we are?'' |
| 31431 | ''You accept?'' |
| 31431 | ''You are welcome,''he said;''what do you want of me?'' |
| 31431 | ''You do not know at all?'' |
| 31431 | A little later she asked again:''Tell me, tell me, are we near it now?'' |
| 31431 | And at the same moment she cried in a whisper:''Anne, Sister Anne, do you see nothing coming?'' |
| 31431 | Are you dissatisfied with my breeding, my brains, my disposition, or my manners?'' |
| 31431 | Are you satisfied?'' |
| 31431 | Behold, then, the royal pair upon their travels, asking of all whom they met:''Do you know the King of the Peacocks?'' |
| 31431 | Bring me something to eat at once, do you hear? |
| 31431 | But how is it that you are here, my friendly little Frog?'' |
| 31431 | But how was he to reach them? |
| 31431 | But she nearly died of fright when he put this question to her:''Beauty, will you be my wife?'' |
| 31431 | But then, how do I know that you will not bestow on some one else the heartfelt love which once belonged to me? |
| 31431 | Could I not manage to see her? |
| 31431 | Have you not heard that this is the house of an ogre who eats little children?'' |
| 31431 | Her skin, though white and beautiful, had become a little tough, and what animal could he possibly find that would correspond to her? |
| 31431 | Is it his fault that he is so ugly, and has so few wits? |
| 31431 | Is it possible you can consent to such cruelty? |
| 31431 | Is it reasonable that people who have sense should be treated worse than those who have none? |
| 31431 | Is she more beautiful than her portrait?'' |
| 31431 | Once more she asked:''Tell me, tell me, are we near it now?'' |
| 31431 | Once more she cried:''Anne, Sister Anne, do you see nothing coming?'' |
| 31431 | Presently the nurse said to the boatman:''Tell me, tell me, are we near the Land of Peacocks?'' |
| 31431 | Said her godmother, who was a fairy:''You would like to go to the ball, would you not?'' |
| 31431 | Tell me, now, do you not consider me very ugly?'' |
| 31431 | The moment her mother caught sight of her coming back she cried out,''Well, daughter?'' |
| 31431 | Then she called:''Anne, Sister Anne, do you see nothing coming?'' |
| 31431 | To whom can I talk in this solitude? |
| 31431 | To whom can I unburden my grief? |
| 31431 | What are they doing now in that forest? |
| 31431 | What does this mean, dear daughter?'' |
| 31431 | What has brought this unhappy fate upon us?'' |
| 31431 | What have I done that the king should exile me? |
| 31431 | What would the king do if he knew of my great peril? |
| 31431 | Where am I to find them? |
| 31431 | While she was thus occupied they said:''Cinderella, would you not like to go to the ball?'' |
| 31431 | Why did I not wish to marry him? |
| 31431 | Why give me help in that dismal place and refuse it to me here? |
| 31431 | With the exception of my ugliness, is there anything about me which displeases you? |
| 31431 | Would n''t you like to be able to do the same? |
| 31431 | Would you maintain that for a moment-- you, who so markedly have sense, and desired so ardently to have it? |
| 31431 | You must be joking to talk of hanging us-- of what have we robbed you?'' |
| 31431 | [ Illustration:''_ Puss became a personage of great importance_'']''What''s that?'' |
| 31431 | [ Illustration:_ The Friendly Frog_]''By what magic are you endowed with speech, little Frog?'' |
| 31431 | _ Toc Toc._''Who is there?'' |
| 31431 | _ Toc Toc._''Who is there?'' |
| 31431 | answered little Tom Thumb, trembling like all the rest of his brothers,''what shall we do? |
| 31431 | cried her mother;''did I see pearls and diamonds dropping out of your mouth? |
| 31431 | cried her mother;''what do I see? |
| 31431 | cried the wood- cutter''s wife, bursting into tears,''where are now my children, my poor children?'' |
| 31431 | cried the wood- cutter''s wife,''do you mean to say you are capable of letting your own children be lost?'' |
| 31431 | each demanded of the other;''are we not much nicer than she is?'' |
| 31431 | he cried;''have those two dastardly prisoners the impudence to mock me thus, and propose that I should we d such a loathsome creature as that? |
| 31431 | rejoined the princess;''how do you do it? |
| 31431 | replied the queen;''and what people are they whom you see here? |
| 31431 | said the queen;''but is there no means by which the elder, who is so beautiful, can be endowed with some intelligence?'' |
| 31431 | she asked;''what do you want of me?'' |
| 31431 | she cried,''what have I done that you should keep me here? |
| 31431 | she cried;''a bird so beautiful as that to be killed and eaten? |
| 31431 | she cried;''what are you doing here? |
| 31431 | she demanded;''have you all gone to sleep? |
| 31431 | she said;''will it not be time enough to- morrow?'' |
| 31431 | she would ask;''are we never to escape from misery?'' |
| 31431 | where are our poor children now?'' |
| 30129 | Am I delivered from this wicked fairy Detestable? |
| 30129 | Am I in the hands of a fairy more powerful than herself? |
| 30129 | Am I not tall and strong? 30129 And I, too,"said Violette,"can I not assist my good mother and Passerose? |
| 30129 | And Violette and my son the prince, will you not extend your goodness to them also? |
| 30129 | And can I not see it before my birthday? |
| 30129 | And how will he ever find us, Passerose? 30129 And the dog, where is he?" |
| 30129 | And the good white cow who brought me milk every day? |
| 30129 | And what have these fairies said to you, my queen, to make you weep so piteously? 30129 And what is the name, may I ask, which has been concealed from you so long?" |
| 30129 | And where could I possibly have found jewels as magnificent as hers? 30129 And why did you weep, my poor boy?" |
| 30129 | And why, Madam Tortoise, should I seek to leave this forest? 30129 And you, dear Violette, have you been resting?" |
| 30129 | Are you pleased, Rosette, to go to this festival? |
| 30129 | Are you very certain of their death, Blondine? |
| 30129 | But how do you know, Blondine, that this seeming neglect is not forced upon them? 30129 But how is it possible for me to leave the park? |
| 30129 | But how shall I escape from the dreadful punishment which his majesty will inflict upon me? |
| 30129 | But now I think of it,said Passerose,"tell me, Violette, how did you get to the bottom of that well without killing yourself?" |
| 30129 | But what dress have you prepared for those three days? |
| 30129 | But what is all this about? |
| 30129 | But what is it that shines so brilliantly under the cloth? |
| 30129 | But what said the fairy? |
| 30129 | But why are you a prisoner? 30129 But why do you go there every day without permitting me to go with you?" |
| 30129 | But why does she wish to hold me captive? 30129 But, father, what is there in the little garden- house?" |
| 30129 | But, father, who and what then is this mouse, who causes you this terrible fear? 30129 But, madam, I thought that the palace of the prince was destroyed and he himself wounded sadly?" |
| 30129 | But,said the nurse, shaking her head,"what dress will you wear, my poor child?" |
| 30129 | Can I not see the queen my mother? |
| 30129 | Can they have forgotten me? |
| 30129 | Dear queen, what is the matter? 30129 Do I love him? |
| 30129 | Do I love you, my cherished child? 30129 For the third and last time,"said the queen, frowning fearfully,"I ask if you will take the princess to the forest? |
| 30129 | Give employment to a bear? |
| 30129 | How could I sleep, dear Ourson, when I was the cause of all your sufferings? |
| 30129 | How did this cream come to be upset on the floor? |
| 30129 | How, if you have ever known me, could I have forgotten your name and features? |
| 30129 | I am here, Beau- Minon; I am following you gladly,said Blondine;"but how can we pass through these bushy thickets? |
| 30129 | I know of no charm and what interest have Bonne- Biche and Beau- Minon in keeping me a prisoner? |
| 30129 | If this Rose is at a distance, will not my absence be perceived? |
| 30129 | Is it done? |
| 30129 | Is it not to their interest to enliven their solitude, Blondine? 30129 Is it so? |
| 30129 | Madam,said she,"will you give me a place to sleep? |
| 30129 | Mother,said Violette, in low voice,"do you love me still?" |
| 30129 | Mother,said Violette,"do you not smell something?" |
| 30129 | Of what are you thinking, dear queen? |
| 30129 | Of what consequence is all this, nurse? 30129 Ought I not suffer even more than I do?" |
| 30129 | Rosalie, do you not hear what I propose? 30129 Rosalie,"said Prudent, with a trembling voice,"I forgot the key of the little garden- house; have you found it?" |
| 30129 | Shall I go and seek mamma, Violette? |
| 30129 | Sir,said Ourson, drawing near,"have you any work to give me?" |
| 30129 | That is true, my good Passerose; but what purpose would your package have served, if my mother and Violette had perished in the flames? |
| 30129 | The cat? 30129 To punish me!--Do you dare to threaten me?" |
| 30129 | Violette,repeated the little soft voice of the lark,"do you love Ourson?" |
| 30129 | Well, my dear Blondine, did you notice the agitation of Bonne- Biche, when you mentioned the Rose? 30129 What are you seeking at the top of this mountain?" |
| 30129 | What are you seeking in my kingdom? |
| 30129 | What can be concealed there? |
| 30129 | What can there be in this casket which is so brilliant? |
| 30129 | What charm? |
| 30129 | What do you mean? 30129 What do you want with this key, Rosalie?" |
| 30129 | What do you wish, my child? |
| 30129 | What has become of the gazelles who waited upon us so gracefully? |
| 30129 | What is it, dear Violette? 30129 What is the evening to me or the morning? |
| 30129 | What is the matter, father? |
| 30129 | What is the matter? |
| 30129 | What is the matter? |
| 30129 | What is the name of your papa? |
| 30129 | What shall I do now in order to arrive quickly at home? 30129 What shelter do I want?" |
| 30129 | What sort of work, Ourson? |
| 30129 | What then, my prince, is this tree which is so carefully concealed? |
| 30129 | What will become of me, all alone in this vast forest? 30129 Where do you find her so beautiful? |
| 30129 | Where do you live, my dear little Violette? |
| 30129 | Where shall we lay her? |
| 30129 | Who are you and from whence do you come? |
| 30129 | Who are you and what do you want? |
| 30129 | Who are you, then, wicked mouse? |
| 30129 | Who will govern your people? |
| 30129 | Whose portraits are these, madam? |
| 30129 | Why did you send for this Rosette, who has such dazzling jewels and makes herself admired and sought after by all these foolish kings and princes? 30129 Why does my sweet and sensible Blondine weep like a bad little girl?" |
| 30129 | Why has our Ourson the charge of this little girl? 30129 Why so, beautiful Parrot? |
| 30129 | Why, then, did you summon a fairy to be the godmother of Rosette, when you gave to us only queens for our godmothers? |
| 30129 | Will you be done talking, wicked bear? 30129 Will you?" |
| 30129 | With whom have you been talking, Blondine? |
| 30129 | Would you purchase his life at the price of your happiness? |
| 30129 | You are going, then, to your father''s court, my dear Rosette? |
| 30129 | You are willing, then, that I shall embrace you? 30129 You have then a great desire to arrive there, little boy?" |
| 30129 | You have then a great desire to pass here, my boy? 30129 You know me then?" |
| 30129 | You say nothing Are you ill, Gourmandinet? |
| 30129 | You wish it, then, my daughter? |
| 30129 | You, then, madam, also sent me the Tortoise? |
| 30129 | Your wife, dear brother? 30129 A large Toad issued from a pile of stones, advanced before her, and said:--What are you seeking? |
| 30129 | A prisoner? |
| 30129 | After half an hour''s walk, he said to her:"Violette, you are no longer afraid of poor Ourson, are you?" |
| 30129 | And Gourmandinet, how will he dare go back to the palace without me? |
| 30129 | And how could I show my deformity in the midst of the festivals given on your return to your kingdom? |
| 30129 | And then, what did those awful words of the wicked Parrot signify:"You have caused the destruction of your friends"? |
| 30129 | Are we in the midst of the Carnival, that a workman ventures upon such a ridiculous masquerade? |
| 30129 | Are you and your faithful Passerose ready for the journey?" |
| 30129 | Are you not every day and every hour of the day the consolation and happiness of my life and of that of my excellent mother?" |
| 30129 | At the last words of the fairy he turned towards Violette, and seeing that she was weeping, he said:--"Why do you weep, my Violette? |
| 30129 | But if it was some wild animal, would I not hear it roar or howl or shake the house? |
| 30129 | But what is the matter? |
| 30129 | But who will take care of my poor mother during my absence? |
| 30129 | But why does he go there himself every day? |
| 30129 | By whom is my life threatened?" |
| 30129 | Can I not have the happiness of hearing you once more?" |
| 30129 | Do I not owe all my happiness to you? |
| 30129 | Do you fear that I will blush for you-- that I will not dare to testify before my whole court the tenderness with which you inspire me? |
| 30129 | Do you not know that I could tear you to pieces with one stroke of my claws?" |
| 30129 | Does he still weep my absence? |
| 30129 | Has not the good fairy interfered to prevent the misfortunes which the wicked fairy wished to bring about?" |
| 30129 | Have you not committed some crime?" |
| 30129 | Have you not made me gay and happy-- me who was so wretched and so miserable before? |
| 30129 | Have you not occasioned the death of your friends by the basest ingratitude? |
| 30129 | Have you saved the casket?" |
| 30129 | He sprang forward to receive her, offered his arm and said with eagerness:--"Well, dear princess, what did the fairy say to you? |
| 30129 | He will be scolded, perhaps beaten and all this is my fault because I would leave my carriage to gather lilacs? |
| 30129 | Her heart prompted her to ask,"But when shall I see my father and sister?" |
| 30129 | How can I ever testify my profound gratitude, my tender affection?" |
| 30129 | How can you have changed so in a few days?" |
| 30129 | How can you seat upon your throne a creature so repulsive as your poor Violette? |
| 30129 | How is this? |
| 30129 | How shall I ever pass this pit?" |
| 30129 | How shall I ever repay him for all I owe him? |
| 30129 | How shall I manage it? |
| 30129 | How then can I gather one?" |
| 30129 | How will you dare to brave the raillery of your subjects and of the neighboring kings? |
| 30129 | How, if it had so much power, could you keep it so long a prisoner and why can you not put it in prison again?" |
| 30129 | I have prepared it as you ordered and now will you assist me to pass this precipice?" |
| 30129 | In fact, who would ever know it? |
| 30129 | Is any one ever in danger when you are present? |
| 30129 | Is he happy since he lost me?" |
| 30129 | Is it possible I may be deceived? |
| 30129 | Is not this the third time you have saved Violette''s life?" |
| 30129 | Is this an illusion or have I indeed grown and developed thus during the night?" |
| 30129 | Now, can you conduct me to my papa, who is certainly in despair because of my absence?" |
| 30129 | Of what importance is the fate of Blondine to you? |
| 30129 | Ourson was more and more surprised and asked:"Why are you alone in this forest?" |
| 30129 | Say, dear Violette, shall it be so?" |
| 30129 | She opened the window with alacrity and said:"Is it true, my beautiful Parrot, that you bring me news of my dear father? |
| 30129 | Speak, Violette, do you desire to change your costume?" |
| 30129 | Speak, madam, what must I do to escape this terrible fate?" |
| 30129 | Tapping softly upon the door, she said:"Who are you, and what can I do for you?" |
| 30129 | Tell me, madam, tell me if they yet live and if I may dare hope for the happiness of rejoining them?" |
| 30129 | That I will conceal what you have done for me or forget the bonds which attach me to you for ever? |
| 30129 | The Cat said to him:"What are you doing here? |
| 30129 | The cat brought a vessel of milk to the middle of the room and upset it there?" |
| 30129 | Was it not Passerose, after all, who got you out of that terrible hole? |
| 30129 | Was it to humiliate us, my father, that you called us to the court at this time?" |
| 30129 | What answer do you give me?" |
| 30129 | What are you seeking beyond my wall?" |
| 30129 | What can I do for you?" |
| 30129 | What can it be? |
| 30129 | What does this little house contain which frightens you so much?" |
| 30129 | What is he doing and how is he?" |
| 30129 | What kind of work----?" |
| 30129 | What possible danger can I encounter in that lovely place and under her protection?" |
| 30129 | What shall we do?" |
| 30129 | What will King Ferocious, your husband, say if he should ever discover us?" |
| 30129 | What will become of me now that I am alone and desolate in the world?" |
| 30129 | What will become of us?" |
| 30129 | What will my poor papa think when I do not return? |
| 30129 | What would be her fate, if they should close their doors against her? |
| 30129 | When his eye fell upon him he did not finish his phrase; his eyes flashed with rage and he stammered out:--"What foolery is this? |
| 30129 | When may I demand your hand of the king your father?" |
| 30129 | Where is Brunette?" |
| 30129 | Where is the queen? |
| 30129 | Who can have caused you this great grief? |
| 30129 | Who, then, miss, has given you all these beautiful things?" |
| 30129 | Why am I here? |
| 30129 | Why are you so pale and thin? |
| 30129 | Why do you seek us now? |
| 30129 | Why have you not given to us your most superb jewels and your richest robes? |
| 30129 | Will you make my whole life wretched by forcing me to accept this sacrifice? |
| 30129 | Will you not be so kind as to allow me to enter and pass the night with you?" |
| 30129 | Will you now keep your promise and pass me over to the other side?" |
| 30129 | Wo n''t little cub give his hand to Violette? |
| 30129 | Would she indeed learn the fate of her dear friends at the palace? |
| 30129 | Would these kind friends ever receive her, ever pardon her? |
| 30129 | [ Illustration:"_ What are you seeking little one?_"]"What are you seeking, little one?" |
| 30129 | [ Illustration:"_ What are you seeking little one?_"]"What are you seeking, little one?" |
| 30129 | and what has brought you here?" |
| 30129 | by what fatality did I forget it?" |
| 30129 | cried Blondine,"my poor friends, Bonne- Biche and Beau- Minon, why can I not atone by my death for the sufferings I have caused them?" |
| 30129 | if it has indeed been in my power to render you some little service, have you not changed my whole existence? |
| 30129 | said Blondine, in an agony of grief,"shall I never again see my father whom I love so tenderly? |
| 30129 | said she,"why is my dear father alone? |
| 30129 | said she,"why will not Bonne- Biche allow me to walk in this beautiful forest? |
| 30129 | said the Doctor;"and how is it possible that you have gained this summit?" |
| 30129 | she said to herself,"in order to punish me for all I have made my father and my cousin endure? |
| 30129 | tell me, what can I do to prove my gratitude?" |
| 30129 | what have you done? |
| 30129 | what shall I do?" |
| 30129 | when, my dear Rosette, will you permit me to ask your hand of your father? |
| 30129 | who can ever love you well enough to deliver you from this horrible curse? |
| 30129 | who is she? |
| 30129 | why was she alone in the wood? |
| 30129 | why will not the fairy permit me to make this exchange, which is allowed to another who may love you? |
| 30129 | you are no longer afraid of me?" |
