30394 | Easy enough to talk, but how are you going to get your hands on those miniatures? |
30394 | Everybody fixed and ready? |
30394 | For? 30394 Goin''to offer any reward for capturin''that feller?" |
30394 | Going for a ride, eh? |
30394 | Got a seat in the parlor car? |
30394 | Had n''t you better hold back a bit, Dave, so they do n''t see you? |
30394 | Had n''t you better tell father or Uncle Dunston about this? |
30394 | Has n''t your dad got a big rival in Aaron Poole? |
30394 | Have n''t heard a thing, have you? |
30394 | Have n''t you got any fresher than that? |
30394 | Have we really got to listen? |
30394 | Have you any preference? |
30394 | Have you had any trouble lately? |
30394 | Have you heard anything of this Ward Porton since? |
30394 | How about your shoulder? |
30394 | How are matters going between you and Jessie? |
30394 | How are you and Roger getting along with your civil engineering course? |
30394 | How are you anyway? |
30394 | How can human beings live like this, Dave? |
30394 | How did you like your trip outside las''night? |
30394 | How far is it from here? |
30394 | How far is that from here? |
30394 | How in the world did that fellow get here, and what is he doing? |
30394 | How is our little boy, Shadow, to- day? |
30394 | How is your father getting along, Ben? |
30394 | How long ago since he was in the bank? |
30394 | How many have you in the camp here? |
30394 | How much will you pay us if we keep still until you have finished? |
30394 | How soon will you be ready? |
30394 | How would you fellows like to go and see it? |
30394 | How''d you like to go outside, Roger, just as you are, and have a snowball fight? |
30394 | I do n''t quite understand? |
30394 | I do n''t suppose any of the other girls or the doctor touched them? |
30394 | I do n''t suppose his clerk is around? |
30394 | I do n''t suppose there are any blizzard pictures among those miniatures, Ben? |
30394 | I suppose they are paintings of celebrated individuals-- kings, queens, and like that? |
30394 | I suppose your mother feels dreadfully about it? |
30394 | I wonder if the girls are up yet? |
30394 | I wonder what will happen next? |
30394 | I wonder where he went and if it would do any good to look any further for him? |
30394 | I wonder who it can be? |
30394 | If it''s Porton what in the world tempted him to follow you to this place? |
30394 | If you pass the examination, what will you do next? |
30394 | In Texas? 30394 Is Bixter much of a place?" |
30394 | Is it your civil engineering report? |
30394 | Is n''t it just glorious weather? |
30394 | Is n''t it queer that he does n''t want to follow in the footsteps of his father and take up politics? |
30394 | Is n''t it queer? 30394 Is n''t she growing tall, Dave?" |
30394 | Is n''t that fine? |
30394 | Is n''t this the limit? |
30394 | Is that Lawson, the ranchman? |
30394 | Is this you, Dave Porter? |
30394 | Is your father actually suffering for the want of some cash? |
30394 | It ca n''t be their intention to blow up the bridge? |
30394 | Look like you? |
30394 | May I ask where you come from? |
30394 | Miniatures, eh? |
30394 | My trip outside? |
30394 | Now that the others are downstairs do n''t you think we had better have something to eat? |
30394 | Now will you behave yourself and come with me, or do you want some more? |
30394 | Of course you tried to follow? |
30394 | Oh, Dave, do you think the grays will behave themselves to- day? |
30394 | Oh, well, what of that? 30394 Perry Watson, eh?" |
30394 | Pick up stories? |
30394 | Quite an adventure, is n''t it? |
30394 | Say, Dave, how would you like to be back at Oak Hall? |
30394 | Say, Paul, what do you say if we go into the woods later on and lay low for that feller? 30394 See here, have you anybody staying here who looks like me?" |
30394 | Shadow, which way did he go? |
30394 | So that is the way you are going to try to swindle me out of my money, is it, Dave Porter? |
30394 | Strange? 30394 Swindle?" |
30394 | That was our expectation,replied Dave, who had followed his sister;"but it looks pretty fierce outside, does n''t it?" |
30394 | That''s all right enough for us boys,put in Roger,"but how about the girls?" |
30394 | That''s the railroad station up this way, is n''t it? |
30394 | The son of a United States senator, eh? 30394 Then I suppose you do n''t want to settle that bill?" |
30394 | Then they have n''t any word at all about Ward Porton? |
30394 | Then what in the world does the estate consist of? |
30394 | Then you do n''t think we''re going to get back to Crumville to- day? |
30394 | Turn back? |
30394 | Ward Porton''s father, eh? 30394 Was he smoking a cigarette?" |
30394 | Was n''t father going to let Mr. Wadsworth see them? |
30394 | Was the fellow alone? |
30394 | Was this Ward Porton alone? |
30394 | Well, Dave, no more bad news I hope? |
30394 | Well, Wash, what are the prospects for getting away this morning? |
30394 | Well, as we are going out sleighing this afternoon, why do n''t you drive to Coburntown and drop into his shop and explain matters? |
30394 | Well, did you catch Porton? |
30394 | Well, how did you make out? |
30394 | Well, what does it consist of? |
30394 | Well, what of that, Dave? |
30394 | Well, where in the world did this Mr. Enos get money enough to buy such things? |
30394 | Were n''t you in the shop when I let Porter have some of those goods? |
30394 | Were they seen at all? |
30394 | What are you going to do about this letter? |
30394 | What are you going to do if Wecks says you really had the shoes? |
30394 | What are you talking about? 30394 What brought you? |
30394 | What did Mr. Wadsworth do? |
30394 | What did you do then? |
30394 | What do you make of that? |
30394 | What do you mean, Wash? 30394 What do you mean?" |
30394 | What do you say if we take a swim this evening? |
30394 | What do you say, Dave-- shall we go? |
30394 | What do you see? |
30394 | What do you think about our trying to get back to Crumville? |
30394 | What do you think it is, Wash, a blizzard? |
30394 | What do you think? 30394 What do you want, Dave?" |
30394 | What for, Dave? |
30394 | What has become of Nat Poole? |
30394 | What in the world are you doing in there? |
30394 | What in the world does Mr. Dickley mean by writing to me in this fashion? |
30394 | What is it, Dave? |
30394 | What is it? |
30394 | What is taking you to New York? |
30394 | What is that for? |
30394 | What is that sound? |
30394 | What of him? |
30394 | What shall we do? |
30394 | What was that? |
30394 | What would be the use? 30394 What''s the difference when we''re alone?" |
30394 | What''s the matter, Dave? |
30394 | What''s the name of that fellow? |
30394 | What''s the trouble? |
30394 | What''s the use? 30394 What''s true, Mother?" |
30394 | What? |
30394 | What? |
30394 | When did you meet the other fellow, and where? 30394 When do you expect them to arrive?" |
30394 | When do you have to start? |
30394 | When does that examination of yours come off, Dave? |
30394 | When was it purchased? 30394 When was this?" |
30394 | Where do you mean-- in the bank? |
30394 | Where do you suppose they are going? |
30394 | Where in the world did you come from? |
30394 | Where was that? |
30394 | Where was the place? |
30394 | Where? |
30394 | Which road are you going to take-- through Hacklebury or around Conover''s Hill? |
30394 | Who are they? |
30394 | Who are you? |
30394 | Who is going to drive-- you? |
30394 | Who is it? |
30394 | Whom is it from? |
30394 | Why do n''t you take it up? 30394 Why in the world did they want to blow up the bridge?" |
30394 | Why should you get out? |
30394 | Why, it was you, was n''t it? |
30394 | Why, who could be guilty? |
30394 | Will you come and join me? |
30394 | With you, of course? |
30394 | Would n''t we have the dandy time snowballing each other, and snowballing old Horsehair? |
30394 | Would you like to go with me? 30394 Would your father consider it if it did come in?" |
30394 | You did n''t expect to meet me out here, did you? |
30394 | You do n''t mean it? |
30394 | You do n''t suppose it''s one of those Mexican raiders, do you? |
30394 | You have n''t any idea where he went? |
30394 | You have n''t been to our house? |
30394 | You mean and cut Ward Porton out of the deal? |
30394 | You remember my telling you about that fellow who looks like me-- the fellow named Dave Porter? |
30394 | You''re going to write to me regularly, are n''t you? |
30394 | You''ve been acting in a fine way, have n''t you, Porton? |
30394 | Am I blind or is it really Dave Porter?" |
30394 | And I suppose Roger has that same old eagle eye of his on your sister Laura?" |
30394 | And do n''t you remember what Ward told his father-- that he had left the miniature cases hidden on the other side? |
30394 | And do you know who it is? |
30394 | And then as another handshake followed he continued:"What are you going down to New York City for? |
30394 | And then he added quickly:"Do you remember-- was he smoking?" |
30394 | And then, as the farmer looked at him in increasing wonder, he added:"Did a young man who looks very much like me go past here to- day?" |
30394 | And what is more, do you know who I think is guilty?" |
30394 | And you know what sometimes happens to a fellow when he gets older?" |
30394 | Are you sure you left the coat and cap on this rack?" |
30394 | Are you sure?" |
30394 | Back again, are you?" |
30394 | Basswood?" |
30394 | Besides, did n''t you give me your name as Dave Porter, and ask me if I did n''t remember you?" |
30394 | Besides, if it was n''t Porton, why would he run away?" |
30394 | CHAPTER IX SOMETHING ABOUT MINIATURES"Miniatures?" |
30394 | CHAPTER VII FACE TO FACE"If you catch Porton, Dave, what will you do-- turn him over to the authorities?" |
30394 | CHAPTER XII TIM CRAPSEY''S PLOT"Who are you talking to, Port?" |
30394 | CHAPTER XVI HOW THE MINIATURES DISAPPEARED"The miniatures are gone?" |
30394 | CHAPTER XXII IN TEXAS AT LAST"So you are going to join our engineering department, eh?" |
30394 | Ca n''t he, Dave?" |
30394 | Could you beat it?" |
30394 | Did n''t the fellow who got those things from you look somewhat different from me?" |
30394 | Did n''t we meet him in Clayton? |
30394 | Did n''t you come in here and get a fedora hat, some shirts and collars and neckties, and a pair of fur- lined gloves, and a lot of underwear? |
30394 | Do you ketch the idee?" |
30394 | Do you suppose they have been stolen?" |
30394 | How about it, Uncle-- am I right?" |
30394 | How about yourself?" |
30394 | How are they going to tell him from you?" |
30394 | How did he manage to get on my trail so quickly?" |
30394 | How did it happen?" |
30394 | How do you think you like it?" |
30394 | How ever did he get here?" |
30394 | Humph, what good are they?" |
30394 | I suppose you can ride?" |
30394 | I was caught with the goods, was n''t I?" |
30394 | I''ll help you,"returned Dave, quickly 256 DAVE PORTER AND HIS DOUBLE CHAPTER I OFF FOR A SLEIGH- RIDE"What is the matter, Dave? |
30394 | If he went past here perhaps you can tell me where he has gone?" |
30394 | Just the same, why should he give me such a hard look? |
30394 | Now what do you think of that, Hibbins?" |
30394 | Of course, you have n''t had any breakfast? |
30394 | Porter and Morr, I believe-- but which is which?" |
30394 | Ramsdell?" |
30394 | Renwick?" |
30394 | See here, Porter, what sort of tom- foolery is this?" |
30394 | Then I think you already know what I am going to do?" |
30394 | Then like a flash another thought came into his mind-- was Ward Porton connected in any way with this affair? |
30394 | To pick up some new stories?" |
30394 | Watson?" |
30394 | Watson?" |
30394 | What are you fellows up to?" |
30394 | What do you think about it?" |
30394 | What do you think of that? |
30394 | What ever would a person do with them?" |
30394 | What have I done?" |
30394 | What have you to say for yourself?" |
30394 | What if you should have trouble with some of those awful Mexican bandits?" |
30394 | What is that?" |
30394 | What is the matter-- can''t you find them?" |
30394 | What is yours?" |
30394 | What''s going on here?" |
30394 | What''s the matter here?" |
30394 | Where did you go?" |
30394 | Where is he?" |
30394 | Who is that?" |
30394 | Why did n''t you stop when I called to you before?" |
30394 | Will you kindly let me know why you do not settle up as promised? |
30394 | Wo n''t it be fine?" |
30394 | Wot is he-- your twin brother?" |
30394 | You do n''t mean it? |
30394 | You do n''t want to face that wind, do you? |
30394 | You would n''t call him horrid, would you, when he looks so very much like Dave?" |
30394 | are you going to do all those wonderful things?" |
30394 | are you going to start right away?" |
30394 | are you sure he has those pictures?" |
30394 | are you sure?" |
30394 | but it''s some cold, is n''t it?" |
30394 | but this is the worst yet, is n''t it?" |
30394 | could it be that awful Ward Porton?" |
30394 | did n''t you suspect it might be a trick?" |
30394 | do you call those revolutionists?" |
30394 | do you mean it?" |
30394 | do you suppose he is armed?" |
30394 | do you think they have run away?" |
30394 | getting up already?" |
30394 | has he got those miniatures?" |
30394 | how''ll I know that feller if I do find him?" |
30394 | is that you?" |
30394 | not even cigarettes?" |
30394 | then you will really have to go away down there?" |
30394 | were you sure it was that Ward Porton?" |
30394 | what are you going to do if you do n''t pass?" |
30394 | what can that mean?" |
30394 | what do you suppose I did?" |
30394 | what do you suppose we had better do?" |
30394 | what would you do with a hundred thousand dollars''worth of soft soap?" |
30394 | what''s the matter now?" |
30394 | what''s this?" |
30394 | who''s that up there?" |
12734 | A train? |
12734 | And were you the only man who had the drop on us? |
12734 | And what is that mistake, sir, if you please? |
12734 | Anyone hit? 12734 Anyone you want us to catch? |
12734 | Anything more to say to me? |
12734 | Are any of the others going? |
12734 | Are the cross- hairs, as you see them through the telescope, just on the mark? |
12734 | Are there many like Mr. Peter Bad in these hills nowadays? |
12734 | Are you homeward bound--- when you go? |
12734 | Are you, indeed? |
12734 | Assassins coming to wipe out the camp? |
12734 | Black, do you draw any comfort from feeling that you''re boss of such an outfit? 12734 Blaze, wo n''t you take us inside and put us in our high chairs?" |
12734 | Boston or Binghamton? |
12734 | But who can the villains be? |
12734 | But who_ is_ going to boss the camp? |
12734 | But why should he do it purposely? |
12734 | By the way, Mr. Rutter-----"Well? |
12734 | Ca n''t you two tenderfeet mind your own business? |
12734 | Can Your Road Save Its Charter Now? |
12734 | Can that pond be easily forded? |
12734 | Can you run a level well? |
12734 | Can you tell us now, Mr. Blaisdell, what we''re to do today? |
12734 | Cheap baggage, are we? |
12734 | Come over here and read it, sir? |
12734 | Come through a hot fire? |
12734 | Country surveyors, these gentlemen, I suppose? |
12734 | Cub engineers, eh, tenderfoot? |
12734 | Cub, you heard what Black said? |
12734 | Did Mr. Newnham tell you that you could promise that? |
12734 | Did Mr. Rutter leave any orders for me? |
12734 | Did Pete show these young men his fighting front? |
12734 | Did you aim at him? |
12734 | Did you call me here for any such fool talk as that? |
12734 | Did you ever hear of ways of cutting out a telegraph wire and then attaching one of the cut ends to a box relay? |
12734 | Did you have to go very far for it? |
12734 | Did you hear from him or of him in any way? |
12734 | Did you see Bad Pete today? |
12734 | Do we have to walk all the way back to camp? |
12734 | Do you all know Black by sight? |
12734 | Do you belong with the telegraph construction crowd? |
12734 | Do you blame people for loving the Rocky Mountains? 12734 Do you call murder romantic?" |
12734 | Do you expect me, young men, to detail an experienced engineer to move about with you as instructor until you learn enough to be of use to us? |
12734 | Do you happen to know the hiding- place of the camp? |
12734 | Do you know how long I''ve been looking for this sort o''thing, pardner? |
12734 | Do you know the name of the operator at Brewster''s? |
12734 | Do you mean to tell me,broke in Rutter,"that Bad Pete, when he turned his revolver loose on you, was shooting nothing but blanks?" |
12734 | Do you see that bald knob of rock ahead, to your left; about a quarter of a mile away? |
12734 | Do you see what he has done to my revolvers"How did Reade come to have it? |
12734 | Do you think I''m fool enough to ditch the train? 12734 Do you want to have the trigger of that pistol pulled?" |
12734 | Do you want us to show him to you? |
12734 | Do you? |
12734 | Doctor,began Tom,"will you give me your word of honor that Mr. Thurston is in his right mind?" |
12734 | DoctoredField Notes? |
12734 | Does he? |
12734 | Does it mean that the state would then turn around and sell this road to the W.C.& A. at a good profit? |
12734 | Down this way to see your first train go through? 12734 Drilled me through the head--- with what?" |
12734 | Eat this grass, too? |
12734 | Eh? |
12734 | Eh? |
12734 | Following your own advice? |
12734 | From what technical school do you come? |
12734 | From whom can you get orders? |
12734 | Gentlemen, what is your pleasure? |
12734 | Going to shoot, is he? |
12734 | Harry, could anything be tougher? 12734 Has Fulsbee any suspicions?" |
12734 | Have a cigar? |
12734 | Have you the courage to try? |
12734 | Hazelton, do You carry a pocket glass? |
12734 | He is, oh? |
12734 | Hello, Black--- is that you? |
12734 | Here, what''s the trouble? |
12734 | How are our sick men? |
12734 | How are you going to do it? |
12734 | How are you on drawing, Reade? |
12734 | How are you, Peter? |
12734 | How do you do, sir? |
12734 | How do you like it? |
12734 | How does it seem to know that you have only to beckon and that men must follow? |
12734 | How far is that? |
12734 | How long before that train will be here? |
12734 | How long before you expect to have the line up with the camp? |
12734 | How long will it take them to get well? |
12734 | How many men has Bad Pete killed? |
12734 | How soon shall I go to work, sir? |
12734 | How would Black, by turning in some wrong backsights and foresights, expect to delay the building of the road, even if he wanted to do it? |
12734 | How''s Reade? |
12734 | How? |
12734 | How? |
12734 | How? |
12734 | Howdy, pardners? |
12734 | However, can you tell us the way to the camp? |
12734 | I beg your pardon, sir,galled Tom,"but can you tell us-----""Who are ye looking at?" |
12734 | I have predicted, all along, that we''d have the road through in time, have n''t I? |
12734 | I wonder if the cub suspects the game I''m playing here? 12734 I''ll get bounced out of mess on account of two pasty- faced tenderfeet like those boys, will I?" |
12734 | I? 12734 Idling, as usual, Reade?" |
12734 | If he does? |
12734 | If that fellow''s a westerner, driver,Tom persisted,"have you any idea how many days he has been west?" |
12734 | Is Mr. Newnham likely to make much of a shake- up? |
12734 | Is Reade really so valuable, then? |
12734 | Is any one of our fellows hit? |
12734 | Is anything wrong? |
12734 | Is assassination in the plans of the people behind''Gene Black''s treachery? 12734 Is either one of them fit to talk with the president?" |
12734 | Is he really bad? |
12734 | Is he? |
12734 | Is that the way the meals are brought out every day? |
12734 | Is that the way you take your exercise? |
12734 | Is that what you mean by hustling? |
12734 | Is that why you have n''t a rifle yourself? |
12734 | Is the doctor staying with Reynolds? |
12734 | Is your own work all done? |
12734 | It looks lazy,yawned Tom,"but what can I do? |
12734 | It''s our railroad, is n''t it? 12734 Journey?" |
12734 | Let me see, Reade,continued Mr. Thurston, turning once more to Tom,"what is your salary?" |
12734 | Let you go--- before the road is running? |
12734 | Lonely, Reade? |
12734 | Master? |
12734 | May I ask, sir, if you verified any of the sights on Nineteen? |
12734 | May I go along, sir, to serve as the other rodman? |
12734 | May I make a suggestion, sir? |
12734 | May we come in? |
12734 | Mr. Fulsbee, do you accept the offer of six thousand as chief detective for the road,"Does a man accept an invitation to eat when he''s hungry? |
12734 | Mr. Rutter,asked Tom, approaching the temporary chief, soon after the evening meal,"what do you want Hazelton and myself to do this evening?" |
12734 | Much obliged, are you? |
12734 | My turn? |
12734 | Never had any training in that line? |
12734 | New men in the chain gang? |
12734 | Not do any more work, What do you mean, Reade? 12734 Not do us any good?" |
12734 | Not going to stay behind and sit in an easy chair this morning, Reade? |
12734 | Nothing in particular? 12734 Now tell me, Reade, whether you want the post I have offered you?" |
12734 | Now, what shall we do? |
12734 | On my cot? |
12734 | Orders? |
12734 | Out for the air, Reade? |
12734 | Pete? |
12734 | Poison? |
12734 | Prove it? |
12734 | Rattler? |
12734 | Reade and Hazelton, you''ve had the pleasure of meeting Pete, I believe? |
12734 | Reade, do n''t you really believe that the stress is over--- that we shall triumph tonight? |
12734 | Reade, have you noted any signs of my mind failing lately? |
12734 | Reade, is this true? |
12734 | Reade, why should there be such scoundrels in the world? |
12734 | Reade,came in another whisper,"can you--- have you the courage to take the post of acting chief?" |
12734 | Reade,he demanded,"Did that thing strike you?" |
12734 | Reade? |
12734 | Really bad? |
12734 | Rich men''s sons, coming out to learn the ways of the Rookies? |
12734 | Rutter, do you feel equal to running this field corps until either Blaisdell or I can take charge again? |
12734 | Say, are you two tenderfeet trying to git fresh with me? |
12734 | Say, was n''t Old Dut Jones, of the Central Grammar, rough on boys who used putty- blowers in the schoolroom? |
12734 | See here, Harry, in the field we tried to do the work of a man and a half each, did n''t we? 12734 See the nail head in the top of the stake?" |
12734 | See the time? |
12734 | See those transits? |
12734 | Seriously, Tom, do n''t you believe that you''d better take one of the revolvers that I bought and wear it on a belt? |
12734 | Shall I drop him, Black? |
12734 | Shall I pull the trigger, Black? |
12734 | Shall we step over there and announce ourselves? |
12734 | Sick? |
12734 | So that''s your trick? 12734 So you cut the wire, oh, and attached box relays?" |
12734 | That burro outfit in sight? |
12734 | That you, Pete? |
12734 | That,grinned Reade,"was when he started in to reload? |
12734 | The cub? 12734 The young man will be all right, squaw?" |
12734 | Then I suppose you have no objections if I sit in here a while? |
12734 | Then do you mind telling us just how we should approach the chief engineer? |
12734 | Then who''ll call us? |
12734 | Then why does n''t Blaisdell look out that no such treacherous work is done by any member of the engineer corps? |
12734 | Then why,he asked,"did you come here? |
12734 | Then you believe that is the word, do you? |
12734 | Then you must really be working for the road that wants to steal the charter away--- the W.C.& A.? |
12734 | Then you think Bad Pete is a coward, young man? |
12734 | Then you''re going to stay boss for the present? |
12734 | This grand, massive scenery makes a human being feel small, does n''t it? |
12734 | This--- er--- Bad Pete is n''t an--- er--- that is, a road agent, is he? |
12734 | Thurston did n''t seem extremely cordial, did he? |
12734 | Trouble? |
12734 | Twenty dollars? |
12734 | Want any? |
12734 | Want it? |
12734 | Was that the trick you played on me? |
12734 | We''ve got to have it, have n''t we? |
12734 | Well, Rutter, I take it you are running the camp from now on? |
12734 | Well, are there many like Peter Bad in these mountains? |
12734 | Well, why should he be cordial? |
12734 | What are you going to do with the State University students? |
12734 | What are you talking about? |
12734 | What are you? |
12734 | What became of the reptile that did the trick? |
12734 | What can I do for you, sir? |
12734 | What can you do? |
12734 | What d''ye want of the camp? |
12734 | What did you do with those you had last night? |
12734 | What do you know about this, Harry? |
12734 | What do you mean by shooting at a flag of truce? |
12734 | What do you mean? |
12734 | What do you mean? |
12734 | What do you mean? |
12734 | What do you want of the camp? |
12734 | What do you want, pardner? |
12734 | What does he know about us? 12734 What does he think the W.C.& A. will try to do?" |
12734 | What does this mean? |
12734 | What happened? |
12734 | What have you been doing? 12734 What have you to say to this, cub?" |
12734 | What nonsense are you talking, Reade? 12734 What of it?" |
12734 | What time do we turn out in the morning? |
12734 | What were you going to say? |
12734 | What''s going to stop me? |
12734 | What''s that noise? |
12734 | What''s the first thing you''re going to do? |
12734 | What''s the matter with it? |
12734 | What''s the matter with the company? |
12734 | What''s the matter? |
12734 | What''s the row, chief? |
12734 | What''s the use? |
12734 | What''s up, Tom? |
12734 | What''s your hurry, Peter? |
12734 | What? 12734 Whatter yer names?" |
12734 | When will Mr. Thurston be back? |
12734 | When? |
12734 | Where are the revolvers? |
12734 | Where are you? |
12734 | Where be you, pardner? |
12734 | Where did that party ahead come from, driver? |
12734 | Where do you want your kit boxes placed? 12734 Where is the wagon?" |
12734 | Where''s Blaisdell, then? |
12734 | Where''s Tom? |
12734 | Where''s the boss? |
12734 | Where''s the boy? |
12734 | Where''s the chief engineer? |
12734 | Where''s the chief? |
12734 | Which leg was it? 12734 Who do you suppose is holding the white cloth?" |
12734 | Who else would have any interest in blocking us? |
12734 | Who gives the main orders? |
12734 | Who is he? |
12734 | Who is that party? |
12734 | Who is, then? |
12734 | Who''s doing that work? 12734 Why am I discharged?" |
12734 | Why are you uncertain about me? |
12734 | Why do I need a rifle? |
12734 | Why do n''t you go on with it? |
12734 | Why do they call him''Bad''? |
12734 | Why, not? |
12734 | Why, what do you mean? |
12734 | Will you give us our orders on drawing before you go, sir? |
12734 | Will you please tell us where Mr. Thurston is? |
12734 | With all the political pull our crowd has behind it do you suppose we fear a little thing like that? |
12734 | With all the work there is ahead of us, sir? |
12734 | Without a clock to ring an alarm? |
12734 | Wo n''t be out of work, eh? |
12734 | Wo n''t you oblige us by going at once, Pete? |
12734 | Would that statement go in court, or before a legislature? |
12734 | Would we need that much? |
12734 | Yes--- sir? |
12734 | Yes; but how did I come to do it? |
12734 | Yes; is Mr. Reade here? |
12734 | Yes? |
12734 | Yet why? |
12734 | You baby--- papoose? |
12734 | You believe, then, that she can pull Reade through? |
12734 | You ca n''t spare me from the day''s work? |
12734 | You can get an extension of time, ca n''t you? |
12734 | You do n''t for a moment suppose we''d trust you with original work until we had tried you out, do you? 12734 You fully believe that he knew just what he was doing?" |
12734 | You guessed it--- and yet the camp has been left undefended? 12734 You idiot--- what are you doing?" |
12734 | You know more I do? |
12734 | You know something about rattlesnake bites, I believe? |
12734 | You know what to do----eh? 12734 You mean the party ahead at the bend of the trail?" |
12734 | You never smoked? 12734 You remember the unfordable pond that came in one of my courses yesterday?" |
12734 | You think I make death medicine? |
12734 | You think me heap fool? |
12734 | You try out a lot of men here, do n''t you? |
12734 | You''re going back to the construction camp? |
12734 | You''re going back to the construction force? |
12734 | You''re going to say, I suppose, that the man is just some freak escaped from the pages of a dime novel? |
12734 | You''ve already been over this work that we''ve been doing? |
12734 | You''ve been away? |
12734 | You''ve ordered all the men in? |
12734 | _ All_? |
12734 | _ Do_ I want any? |
12734 | & L. through within charter time?" |
12734 | & L.''s field camp of engineers?" |
12734 | A forty- man boss is quite a little figure in politics, is n''t he, sheriff?" |
12734 | After lecturing me the way you did, you are not going to get cold feet, are you?" |
12734 | Am I discharged from this corps?" |
12734 | Are you going to pay me now?" |
12734 | Are you sure that you know all you owlet to know about leveling?" |
12734 | Are you visiting the camp?" |
12734 | Assistant chief engineer?" |
12734 | Black?" |
12734 | Blaisdell?" |
12734 | Blaisdell?" |
12734 | But have you got the money?" |
12734 | But why should you care? |
12734 | CHAPTER IX"DOCTORED"FIELD NOTES? |
12734 | CHAPTER XXII"CAN YOUR ROAD SAVE ITS CHARTER NOW?" |
12734 | Ca n''t we do what we please with our own road?" |
12734 | Ca n''t you get rid of him?" |
12734 | Ca n''t you see that, Reade?" |
12734 | Can he be the enemy''s spy within our lines--- sent to prevent our finishing the road on time?" |
12734 | Can you guess what it is?" |
12734 | Can you place me in immediate wire communication with professor in charge of party? |
12734 | Can your road save its charter_ now_?" |
12734 | Did you notice what snapping black eyes the man has? |
12734 | Do you imagine Mr. Newnham will care about a little thing such as I''ve promised the men? |
12734 | Do you know, Reade, I''ve taken a big liking to you?" |
12734 | Do you see dust near there?" |
12734 | Do you see the problem?" |
12734 | Do you see what that means?" |
12734 | Do you think you can fire me--- and get away with it?" |
12734 | Drawing?" |
12734 | Eighteen dollars, is n''t it?" |
12734 | For the last time, are you going to answer my question?" |
12734 | Got the line? |
12734 | Had n''t Mr. Fulsbee better get his force together as soon as possible? |
12734 | Harry, do you think that Black could possibly be serving with this outfit as the paid tool of the rival road, the W.C.& A.? |
12734 | Have n''t you something hotter?" |
12734 | He glanced at Tom''s drawing with some contempt, then inquired:"Drawing, boy?" |
12734 | He has a code of signatures for train orders--- a different signature to be used for messages at each station?" |
12734 | How are you, Reade?" |
12734 | How soon will it be safe to start?" |
12734 | I wonder if anyone here knows where ice can be had? |
12734 | I wonder what effect she expects an Indian song to have on snake poison?" |
12734 | I wonder why Mr. Thurston never hit upon the idea of adding such a force?" |
12734 | If a fellow is n''t afraid of anything, then why does he have to carry firearms to protect himself?" |
12734 | In the meantime what was the squaw doing with Tom? |
12734 | Mr. Reade, have you seen anything through the glasses that looks interesting?" |
12734 | NOW, will your through train reach Lineville tonight? |
12734 | Newnham?" |
12734 | Now, do you believe you will get your train through tonight?" |
12734 | Or is putting me under the sod merely an addition that Black has made for his own pleasure?" |
12734 | Reade, what are you doing?" |
12734 | Savvy that? |
12734 | Savvy?" |
12734 | That little scratch?" |
12734 | That, in fact, you seem wholly indolent in the matter?" |
12734 | Then Black turned again to the operator, saying:"Ask the other box relay man if anything has happened near him?" |
12734 | Then, realizing that he was about to say too much, he went on:"What did you find wrong with my sights on Nineteen?" |
12734 | Understand? |
12734 | We''ll blow out the roadbed here, and then where are you?" |
12734 | We''re fools, are we?" |
12734 | We''re trying to break in here and make a living, but how does he know that we''re not a pair of merely cheerful idiots?" |
12734 | Were they to stand and throw rocks at an enemy armed with rifles? |
12734 | Were you struck?" |
12734 | What are you going to do with him?" |
12734 | What have you to say, Hazelton?" |
12734 | What made you think that you could break in as engineers?" |
12734 | What''s the hind- leg of his name?" |
12734 | Whatcher want here, pardner?" |
12734 | Where are the revolvers, Reader? |
12734 | Where is the ice to go?" |
12734 | Where shall we find it in these mountains in midsummer?" |
12734 | Where''s your operating tent?" |
12734 | Where''s your through train? |
12734 | Why should he? |
12734 | Will everyone of you pledge himself on his honor to drop all feeling that might interfere? |
12734 | Will you all stand loyally by Reade, take his orders and help boost him and all the rest of us through to victory in this big game?" |
12734 | Will you bring them here with all speed and let us try them out? |
12734 | Ye know where Bandy''s Gulch is?" |
12734 | Yet does n''t it seem too''fresh''in a cub like myself to take such a post?" |
12734 | You have n''t taken any steps to protect the company''s rights and property at this point?" |
12734 | You realize at last--- eh?---that you''ve lost your train and your charter--- your railroad?" |
12734 | You see?" |
12734 | You''re another Peter Bad, are you?" |
12734 | sneered Black"We''re people whom you can beat with your cheap little tricks about a different signature for each station on the line, are we? |
14369 | A baby? 14369 A general, or only a colonel?" |
14369 | All going right, Corbett? |
14369 | Am I to infer, Prenter, that you are going to follow your occasional tactics and try to laugh me out of my decision as president of the company? |
14369 | Am mah eardrum done gone busted? 14369 Am''yo''gwine beliebe dat yo''kain''t wish no kind oh a trick ober on me?" |
14369 | An army officer? |
14369 | And Greg? |
14369 | And he refuses? |
14369 | And try to find the bombs? |
14369 | And you never called me? |
14369 | And you''ll have the money? |
14369 | And you''ll throw them down harder than before? |
14369 | And you, Mr. Prescott--- may I depend upon you, also, to preserve silence? |
14369 | Another explosion? |
14369 | Any beard? |
14369 | Any decent cigars here? |
14369 | Are all the others up? |
14369 | Are there any visitors in camp to- night who should n''t be here? |
14369 | Are you going to have the water dragged? |
14369 | Are you going to jump your bail, and leave me to pay the bond? |
14369 | Are you going to run for assistance now, Tom? |
14369 | Are you going to stand for it, men? |
14369 | Are you going to try to keep me out of all the excitement and fun? |
14369 | Are you going to wait for daylight? 14369 Are you hurt?" |
14369 | Are you trying to signal us, Sambo? |
14369 | At what hour shall I call you? |
14369 | Be careful, wo n''t you, sir? |
14369 | Black or white? |
14369 | Break yo''bail? |
14369 | But do you know Evarts? |
14369 | But eef he do? |
14369 | But how could I know that the night would be pitch dark? |
14369 | But what have you to do with one? |
14369 | But where on earth did Nicolas learn that trick? |
14369 | But why should he want to please Evarts in such a matter? |
14369 | But you suspect it, do n''t you? |
14369 | But you, Senor? |
14369 | But, Senor, suppose thees scoundrel free himself? |
14369 | Ca n''t you guess? |
14369 | Color of his clothes? |
14369 | Conlon, are you pushing the engines for all it''s worth? |
14369 | Corbett, you have the handcuffs I gave you the other night, have n''t you? |
14369 | Could you pick him out of a crowd of negroes? |
14369 | Dem gamblers an''bootleggers ain''done got bail yet, has they, sah? |
14369 | Den de w''ite gemman who done fu''nish yo''bond will be feelin''bad, wo n''t he? |
14369 | Den yo''wo n''t call me Tar Baby no mo? |
14369 | Did Evarts pay you fellows a salary, or commission? |
14369 | Did n''t I come forward promptly on your bail? |
14369 | Did you ever see more wicked neglect of important duty? 14369 Did you hear that, man?" |
14369 | Did you notice, sir, that I turned the light right up at the sky, first- off? |
14369 | Did you really find out anything? |
14369 | Did you think that I could feel any other way about it? |
14369 | Do n''t you make out the motor boat''s lights yet? |
14369 | Do you call me a prisoner, too? |
14369 | Do you feel that you''ll keep within the appropriation by making enemies who deliberately blow up our masonry? |
14369 | Do you mean to ask whether I was scared by the cowardly, unsigned letter that I received this evening? |
14369 | Do you mean to say that you are going to go on with your fool way of doing things? |
14369 | Do you mean to say that you would n''t use the knowledge? |
14369 | Do you see what caught my eye? |
14369 | Do you share Mr. Prenter''s infatuation for those two young men? |
14369 | Do you think you ever saw him before? |
14369 | Do you want them for fighting, sir? |
14369 | Do you want to take charge of these? |
14369 | Does the hundred dollars come out of the company treasury, Reade, or from your own pocket? |
14369 | Eh? |
14369 | Eh? |
14369 | Eh? |
14369 | Evarts, why on earth did you send for me? |
14369 | Evarts? 14369 Even though at least eight thousand dollars in damage was done last night?" |
14369 | Give in? |
14369 | Going to board her on the quarter? |
14369 | Going to employ spotters on the camp? |
14369 | Harry,Tom broke in,"just what did that negro look like?" |
14369 | Has Mr. Bascomb put in an appearance here? |
14369 | Have you a pair of pliers in your tool box that''ll cut small wires? |
14369 | Have you any ideas whatever on the subject of Hazelton''s disappearance? |
14369 | Have you any notion of giving in to that extent? |
14369 | Have you any telegraph blanks here? |
14369 | Have you paper, pen and ink here? |
14369 | Hazelton--- killed? |
14369 | He furnished a five thousand surety? |
14369 | He is n''t going to interfere with any amusements that are properly carried on--- eh, Reade? |
14369 | He''d have hailed us, then, in passing, would n''t he? |
14369 | Hear what? |
14369 | Here, what are you trying to do? |
14369 | How about the contract, sir, between your company and Reade& Hazelton? 14369 How can I look at them?" |
14369 | How could that Mexican wallop a giant? |
14369 | How did it happen, sir? |
14369 | How did the enemy come to catch you napping, Corbett? |
14369 | How did you know I was here? |
14369 | How did you like West Point? |
14369 | How does it seem to be an army officer? |
14369 | How long are we to keep our hands up? |
14369 | How long can you stay with us? |
14369 | How many hours does it take you to get awake when you''re called in the middle of the night? |
14369 | How much? |
14369 | How much? |
14369 | How on earth do you think you could defend a contract against a wealthy company like ours? 14369 However, old fellow, we''re not going to fight, are we? |
14369 | Humph, Evarts, a lot of good you can do us here, ca n''t you? |
14369 | Hurt? 14369 I wonder if he is going to get cranky?" |
14369 | I wonder if that boat can be in the service of those who are annoying us? |
14369 | I--- I''ll wait here, Mr. Renshaw, will you keep me company? |
14369 | I? |
14369 | Insult you? 14369 Is Mr. Bascomb here?" |
14369 | Is he, too, one of the conspirators? 14369 Is he?" |
14369 | Is it against any law for an outsider to come into camp? |
14369 | Is it any of your particular business? |
14369 | Is n''t my meaning clear enough? |
14369 | Is that proposition number two, sir? |
14369 | Is that revolting row all over? |
14369 | Is that you, Evarts? |
14369 | Is there a warrant out against him? |
14369 | Is this blackmail never to cease? |
14369 | It''s about time to turn in, is n''t it? |
14369 | It''s not to go back and fight, single- handed, is it? |
14369 | Just what are you doing here? |
14369 | Kain''t yo''? |
14369 | Keep your eyes open, wo n''t you? 14369 Let this crowd of scoundrels shoot up the jail guards, and do they think the citizens would ever allow the gang to operate in camp? |
14369 | Man, do n''t you think I have a nose? |
14369 | Man, have n''t you come to your senses yet? |
14369 | Maybe yo''d like de job ob tendin''to Boss Reade yo''so''f? |
14369 | Meaning that the larger crowd may be a sort of vice trust, operating in many fields at the same time? |
14369 | Men,he demanded,"are you going to be free, or are you going to allow yourselves to be treated like a lot of slaves by this boy?" |
14369 | Mr. Bascomb,Tom called,"did you tell Evarts that he might visit this camp?" |
14369 | Mr. Corbett, did none of your men patrolling on the wall report any signs of strangers? |
14369 | Mr. Reade, how are you going to protect the works to- night? |
14369 | My cowardice has made a dreadful mess of things in a lot of ways, has n''t it? |
14369 | Nebber heard ob it befo'', eh, boss? |
14369 | Now, Reade, does n''t that amount of wanton, revengeful mischief teach you the folly of trying to regulate camp life outside of working hours? |
14369 | Now, do you think it''s going to be well to interfere so much with the movements of the men? |
14369 | Now, see here, my man, if I did n''t want you why on earth would I call you out in the middle of the night? |
14369 | Now, what fool or rogue could have signed that fellow''s bail bond? |
14369 | Now, what is the nature and extent of the mutiny? |
14369 | Now, what is up? |
14369 | Now, what''s all this row that you wired us about? |
14369 | Now, what''s the programme? |
14369 | Oh, it''s you, is it, Prenter? |
14369 | Oh, it''s you, is it? |
14369 | Oh, then you''d rather wait and be forced out? |
14369 | Or have I been listening to human signals? 14369 Peters, we have plenty of really good men among our laborers, have n''t we?" |
14369 | Prenter,suggested the president of the company,"what do you say if you and I prowl in some other direction? |
14369 | Pulling my work to pieces, are you, Tom? |
14369 | Reade, are n''t you going to take us down to the water front and show us the extent of the damage? |
14369 | Reade, how long would it take you to get an electric light service going? |
14369 | Reade,he finally blurted out,"how long were you hiding there before Evarts found you there?" |
14369 | Real birds? |
14369 | Rest? |
14369 | Say, where''s Greg? |
14369 | Scars? |
14369 | See here, just what is your errand in this camp? |
14369 | See him anywhere now, chum? |
14369 | See them--- the two upper ones? |
14369 | Senor Hazelton, where is he? |
14369 | Shall I land you there, sir? |
14369 | Sleep? 14369 So this is the way our newly- found enemies will fight us?" |
14369 | So this is you, Nicolas? |
14369 | So you''ve openly joined the enemy, Evarts? |
14369 | So, Nicolas, you rascal, you have n''t gone to bed? |
14369 | So? |
14369 | So? |
14369 | Start? |
14369 | Such as what, sir? |
14369 | Suppose we run into the bombs, and they prove to be contact exploders, too? |
14369 | Tell me who''s at the wheel? |
14369 | That convicts me of cowardice, does n''t it, in not having come to your aid at the moment of attack? 14369 That negro simply burst his bonds--- and now where is he? |
14369 | The discharged foreman? |
14369 | The officers? 14369 The two details we now need,"Reade continued,"are, first, who was the negro? |
14369 | Then I''m to be a prisoner? |
14369 | Then he was n''t one of our men in this camp at any time? |
14369 | Then how are you going to meet it? |
14369 | Then what theory can explain it? |
14369 | Then why did n''t you hear from him further? |
14369 | Then you acquit me of cowardice? |
14369 | Then you approve, sir, of my intention to keep him out? |
14369 | Then you do n''t believe me? |
14369 | Then you do n''t believe that Mr. Bascomb''s evil record of past years affects his honesty now? |
14369 | Then you do n''t need us, after all? |
14369 | Then you have n''t a theory? |
14369 | Then you were near us, Mr. Prenter, when Evarts and the negro charged us? |
14369 | Then you''re inclined, now, to believe that it was purely imagination? |
14369 | Then--- then I--- I can rely upon your silence? |
14369 | Then--- then--- y- y- you heard all of my talk with Evarts? |
14369 | There are gambling and bootlegging going on in this camp to- night, are n''t there? |
14369 | There are no others of their kind here, then? |
14369 | Tom, you remember the big black man I imagined that I saw last night? |
14369 | Two more of Evarts''s bootleggers, eh? |
14369 | Unless what? |
14369 | Used to be your foreman? |
14369 | W''at am dat, massa? |
14369 | W''at yo''talkin''''bout? |
14369 | W''ate''s his name--- de ahmy man''s? |
14369 | Warranted? |
14369 | Watchmen are an item of expense, are n''t they? |
14369 | Well, then, where is the fellow? |
14369 | Well, what are you howling about? |
14369 | Well, what are you standing there for? |
14369 | Well, what do you think you''re going to do with me? |
14369 | Well, where is he? |
14369 | Wha''yo''do to mah magernetto? |
14369 | Wha''yo''doing heah? |
14369 | Wha''yo''want heah, anyway? |
14369 | Whah am dat''splosion? |
14369 | What are the detectives doing, anyway? |
14369 | What are these men doing with our outfit? |
14369 | What are they? |
14369 | What are you doing here? |
14369 | What are you doing here? |
14369 | What are you doing in these waters? |
14369 | What are you doing in this camp? |
14369 | What are you going to do to find Nicolas? |
14369 | What are you going to do? |
14369 | What are you up to? |
14369 | What could it have been? |
14369 | What craft is that? |
14369 | What did I tell you about earlier hours? |
14369 | What did I tell you, boys? |
14369 | What did you do when you came to, Nicolas? |
14369 | What do you mean by that? |
14369 | What do you mean, Reade? |
14369 | What do you take me for? |
14369 | What happened to you? |
14369 | What have rest and I to do with each other just now? |
14369 | What is it? |
14369 | What is that, sir? |
14369 | What on earth can Bascomb be doing here? |
14369 | What on earth can be keeping good old Tom? |
14369 | What part has Mr. Bascomb been playing in this mystery that he''s so afraid of having become public? |
14369 | What row? |
14369 | What shall we do first? |
14369 | What was all the row about? |
14369 | What was that, Tar? |
14369 | What would the negro want of Nicolas? |
14369 | What''s all this dispute about anyway, Bascomb? |
14369 | What''s his name? |
14369 | What''s the idea, sir? |
14369 | What''s the matter? |
14369 | What''s the plan? |
14369 | What''s your name? |
14369 | What--- me? 14369 When are you going to change your seat and stop making me feel like a very thin pancake?" |
14369 | When you have your mind made up about--- what? |
14369 | Where in the world have you been? |
14369 | Where is Mr. Hazelton then? |
14369 | Where on earth are they? |
14369 | Where to? |
14369 | Where''s Evarts? |
14369 | Where''s this man''s gang- master? |
14369 | Which especial way of being thrown out do you prefer then? |
14369 | Which way are you going? |
14369 | Who are you, and what are you doing around here? |
14369 | Who are you? |
14369 | Who dar? |
14369 | Who doin''dat? |
14369 | Who started this craft against my orders? |
14369 | Who''ll take charge here? 14369 Who''s there? |
14369 | Who''s there? |
14369 | Who''s there? |
14369 | Whose permission? |
14369 | Whose voice was it? |
14369 | Why did n''t you wire me? |
14369 | Why not? |
14369 | Why on earth should he bail out Evarts? |
14369 | Why should I mind? |
14369 | Why should he want to be watching us? |
14369 | Why, what are you going to do to me? |
14369 | Why, you did n''t doubt but that I''d turn up as surely as any other bad egg, did you? |
14369 | Why? |
14369 | Why? |
14369 | Will they? |
14369 | Will you come down to the water, and go out with me to look at the damage, sir? |
14369 | Will you trust me with the boat? |
14369 | Yes, sir, and who do you suppose went on his bond? |
14369 | Yes? |
14369 | Yet_ is_ Mr. Bascomb really fit to be trusted? |
14369 | You admit having chased out the gamblers, do n''t you? |
14369 | You did n''t know that torpedoes are used for wicked work either, eh? |
14369 | You did? |
14369 | You do n''t, eh? |
14369 | You have n''t had any sleep lately, have you, Dick? |
14369 | You look for trouble to break to- night? |
14369 | You want me? |
14369 | You''ll do it--- just like this, eh? |
14369 | You''re a gang- master? |
14369 | You''re a nice crew, are n''t you? |
14369 | You''re not going to try to raise the things with the boathook, are you? |
14369 | You''re the president of the company, are n''t you? |
14369 | You''ve seen the leader? |
14369 | You''ve solved the mystery and caught the fellow who has been dynamiting the wall? |
14369 | You, Senor? |
14369 | _ Quien vive_? |
14369 | ''"_"Is that a declaration of war?" |
14369 | ( who''s there?) |
14369 | Ah got plenty ob dat accommerdation""What magneto are you talking about?" |
14369 | And what are they?" |
14369 | Are you coming out of that boat--- or shall I come back after you?" |
14369 | Are you wide awake, now?" |
14369 | Are you working on the breakwater job?" |
14369 | As an army officer and an engineer what do you think of it?" |
14369 | Bascomb?" |
14369 | But are you going to do anything to protect the wall to- night, Tom?" |
14369 | But do you and Tom continue to find engineering the grandest career on earth?" |
14369 | But--- are you thoroughly awake, now?" |
14369 | By the way, how much will it cost to repair the damage to the retaining walls?" |
14369 | CHAPTER XVIII THE ARMY"ON THE JOB""You, Dick?" |
14369 | CHAPTER XX A SECRET IN SIGHT"Mr. Prenter,"asked Tom suddenly,"is there anything about which you wish to see me just now?" |
14369 | Ca n''t I get enough of that when I go aboard a Pullman again and am riding out to Colorado? |
14369 | Can you get one?" |
14369 | Comprenay? |
14369 | Did you imagine that you could keep on defying all the laws? |
14369 | Did you notice it, too, Bascomb?" |
14369 | Do you fellows reckon you want Mr. Reade to bump in here and shake you out?" |
14369 | Do you think you understand me?" |
14369 | Do you, Reade?" |
14369 | Do you?" |
14369 | Doan''ye''done wish dat ye''had been to camp- meeting a few times in yo''life? |
14369 | Doan''yo''wish ye''been honest most er de time, an''been a hahd- wo''kin'', pay- ye''-bills niggah lak some ob de rest oh us? |
14369 | Doan''yo''wish yo''been mo''''spectable yo''se''f? |
14369 | For the last time, my man, who are you and what are you doing here?" |
14369 | Harry described the negro who had attacked him on the retaining wall, after which Tom asked:"Have any of you men ever seen that negro? |
14369 | Harry, do you mind remaining out here while I run back and get the boat out?" |
14369 | Harry, send in our workmen, will you?" |
14369 | Have you any idea who he is, and where he can be found?" |
14369 | How much money have you in the world? |
14369 | How ye''feel erbout it now? |
14369 | Huh?" |
14369 | I ca n''t do anything out here to help you, can I?" |
14369 | I lie down?" |
14369 | I wonder if the fellow is going to use more than four tubes?" |
14369 | I wonder whether the scoundrels back of Sambo have any more novel ways for setting off their big firecrackers around our wall?" |
14369 | Is n''t that so, Reade?" |
14369 | Is peace better than war? |
14369 | May I therefore ask, sir, if there is any especial reason why Evarts should be allowed in this camp?" |
14369 | Me? |
14369 | Men, do you realize that there''s foul play afoot out on the retaining wall? |
14369 | Mr. Bascomb, why do n''t you yourself disclose this little affair in your past history to the board of directors? |
14369 | My man,"turning to the messenger,"are you going back to Evarts?" |
14369 | Now what is the second proposition, sir?" |
14369 | Now, do you understand?" |
14369 | Officer, do you demand the assistance of all present in any police duty that may come up?" |
14369 | Or a cold- foot?" |
14369 | Police?" |
14369 | Reade?" |
14369 | Reade?" |
14369 | Reade?" |
14369 | Reade?" |
14369 | Regular cabin cruiser, is n''t she, about forty feet long?" |
14369 | Savvy? |
14369 | Scipio, why have n''t you started that fellow away from here?" |
14369 | Second, who was behind the negro in this rascally work?" |
14369 | So Mr. Bascomb demanded your resignation?" |
14369 | So you''re the bootlegger who is bringing this stuff into camp to sell to the men? |
14369 | Speaking of mystery, could anything be stranger, or harder to explain, than what happened to poor Hazelton?" |
14369 | Then Nicolas came along and put the negro out of the fight, and---""Nicolas?" |
14369 | There are other vendors here, too, are there?" |
14369 | To what effect? |
14369 | Understand? |
14369 | W''at yo''done think yo''_ can_ do?" |
14369 | Want me to dump the pitcher of water on you? |
14369 | What do you suppose I did, Mr. Reade, as soon as the explosion sounded?" |
14369 | What do you suppose has happened?" |
14369 | What time do you want to be up, Tom?" |
14369 | What''s wanted?" |
14369 | When you know how the Melliston Company feels toward you, you do n''t want to be impudent enough to insist on hanging on, do you?" |
14369 | Where are you, and what are you doing?" |
14369 | Where could he run to? |
14369 | Where is Nicolas, for that matter? |
14369 | Where is he?" |
14369 | Why should n''t vice be?" |
14369 | Why, if he were killed, what became of the body?" |
14369 | Would n''t you like to go over through the camp with us?" |
14369 | Yet how could he have vanished so completely, and what possibly could have happened to his assailant or assailants? |
14369 | Yet tell me, how did you happen to be at hand to- night in time to save me from Mr. Sambo Ebony?" |
14369 | You''re finding your voice, are you, my man?" |
14369 | You''ve seen the breakwater work? |
3612 | A good broad chest, eh? |
3612 | A hundherd a year is twelve- pound a month, is n''t it? |
3612 | A hwat? |
3612 | A salary, is it? |
3612 | A theory? |
3612 | After all, you must have had a fancy or two yourself, eh? |
3612 | After staying away eighteen years he can harly expect us to be very anxious to see him, can he now? |
3612 | Ah then, how could you stay at a public house? |
3612 | Ah, hwy ca n''t you hold your tongue, Patsy, before Father Dempsey? |
3612 | Am I interfering with him? |
3612 | Am I to be towld dhis afther all me sufferins? |
3612 | An d''ye mean to tell me to me face that you''ve ever been in love before? |
3612 | An how can I help you? |
3612 | An how could I let any other man touch me after that? |
3612 | An how do you like it? |
3612 | An hwy could n''t you wait to tell us until Father Dempsey was gone? |
3612 | An is it the afthernoon it is already? |
3612 | An is that yourself, Misther Grasshopper? |
3612 | An so you''re thinkin o comin to Ireland for a bit? |
3612 | An tell me dhis: have yanny Coercion Acs in England? |
3612 | An who are you, to offer to taitch me manners? |
3612 | An whose things was I to lave behind? |
3612 | An would you let me demean meself like that, just to get yourself into parliament? |
3612 | And has Mr Doyle not come with you? |
3612 | And how have you been all this time? |
3612 | And how will you drag our acres from the ferret''s grip of Matthew Haffigan? |
3612 | And that your shadow might never be less? |
3612 | And wished you more power to your elbow? |
3612 | And yet what else have I to write about? |
3612 | Anybody been looking for me? |
3612 | Are n''t you ashamed to talk about such things? |
3612 | Are you afraid of a poor insect because I pretended it was talking to me? |
3612 | Are you drunk, Patsy Farrell? |
3612 | Are you one? |
3612 | Are you really mad, Mr Keegan? |
3612 | Are you sure he''s such a fool after all, Aunt Judy? |
3612 | Are you wanting to get back to England already? |
3612 | Arra hould your whisht: who''s goin to send him into parliament? |
3612 | Arra how could he be Larry, woman alive? |
3612 | Arra hwat ud happen to her? |

3612 | Arra what d''ye mean, you young fool? |
3612 | Arra why should n''t they? |
3612 | Arra why? |
3612 | Arra would you mind what the like of him would tell you? |
3612 | Arra, hwat am I to call you? |
3612 | Besides, you do n''t seriously suppose that Haffigan can humbug me, do you? |
3612 | But did you ever say anything that would justify her in waiting for you? |
3612 | But do n''t you want to see your country again after 18 years absence? |
3612 | But how soon? |
3612 | But hwat man in his senses ever wanted to give land to Patsy Farrll an dhe like o him? |
3612 | But really and truly now, were n''t the people rather disappointing? |
3612 | But sure Larry''s as good as English: are n''t you, Larry? |
3612 | But this is such a horrible doubt to put into my mind-- to-- to-- For Heaven''s sake, Miss Reilly, am I really drunk? |
3612 | But was n''t it only because you knew more Latn than Father Dempsey that he was jealous of you? |
3612 | But what about your present member? |
3612 | But what sane man can deny that an Englishman''s first duty is his duty to Ireland? |
3612 | But what''s the use of talking to you? |
3612 | By the way, had n''t I better see about a room at the hotel? |
3612 | By the way, have you a photograph of her? |
3612 | Ca n''t you tell the difference between your priest and any ole madman in a black coat? |
3612 | Can you deny these qualities and habits in yourself, sir? |
3612 | Can you start tonight-- from Paddington? |
3612 | Can you tell me where it is? |
3612 | Could you have told me this morning where hell is? |

3612 | Did I tell you to carry that hamper carefully or did I not? |

3612 | Do you mean to say that you are going to refuse me? |
3612 | Do you remember me? |
3612 | Do you remember where I put my revolver? |
3612 | Do you suppose Tom Broadbent would gow off himself to arness a orse? |
3612 | Do you suppose a man need be a Celt to feel melancholy in Rosscullen? |
3612 | Do you think I''m humbugging you? |
3612 | Do you think it will bear two, Larry? |
3612 | Do you think so? |

3612 | I do n''t wish to be impertinent, as you know, Larry; but are you sure she has nothing to do with your reluctance to come to Ireland with me? |
3612 | I mean how old were you when she came? |
3612 | I should think the girls must have seemed rather coarse and dowdy after the foreign princesses and people? |
3612 | I suppose now you''ve come out to make yourself miserable by admyerin the sunset? |
3612 | I was so startled-- It''s a beautiful night, is n''t it? |
3612 | I''m not your first love? |

3612 | Is it a dangerous part you''re going to, sir? |
3612 | Is it making love to me you are? |
3612 | Is it still Larry the bould Fenian? |
3612 | Is it to throw meself at your head the minute the word is out o your mouth? |
3612 | Is that all you have to say to me, Larry? |
3612 | Is that the truth? |
3612 | Is that you, Larry? |
3612 | Is that your religion, to be afraid of a little deeshy grasshopper? |
3612 | Is that yourself, Mat Haffigan? |
3612 | It''s all right and comfortable and happy now, is n''t it? |
3612 | MATTHEW[ glowering disdainfully at Hodson, and sitting down on Cornelius''s chair as an act of social self- assertion] N are you the valley? |
3612 | Man alive, hwere have you been living all these years? |
3612 | May I ask how long it took you to come to business? |
3612 | May I say how deeply I feel the kindness with which I have been overwhelmed since my accident? |
3612 | Miss Doyle: my wandering fit has come on me: will you excuse me? |
3612 | Miss Reilly is not a waitress, is she? |
3612 | Musha what sort o disease is zhouragassid? |
3612 | N d''ye call this airly, God help you? |
3612 | N how d''ye make dhat out, if I might ask you, Mr Broadbent? |
3612 | No doubt; but may we venture to ask what is the mystery of this world? |
3612 | No, really? |
3612 | Not any-- er--? |
3612 | Now do you understand? |
3612 | Now that you know what a travelled man I am, what can I do for you? |
3612 | Now what is it? |
3612 | Oh you have, have you? |
3612 | Oh, Larry, how could you ask him such a thing? |
3612 | Oh, by the way, did I tell you that we''re engaged? |
3612 | Oh, d''ye think I''ll die before the year''s out, Fadher? |
3612 | Oh, how do I know? |
3612 | Oh, what''s the use of talking to such a man? |
3612 | On this holy ground, as you call it, eh? |
3612 | Once more, Tom, will you listen to me? |
3612 | Only a whimsical Irishman, eh? |
3612 | Or was I sober enough to be bound to repeat it now that I am undoubtedly sober? |
3612 | Patsy: what did I tell you about callin me Father Keegan an your reverence? |
3612 | Perhaps so: what is it? |
3612 | Quite sure? |
3612 | Rather a failure, this first meeting after eighteen years, eh? |
3612 | Revolver, sir? |
3612 | Savin Fadher Dempsey''s presence, eh? |
3612 | Shall I fetch him, sir? |
3612 | Shall I go for her? |
3612 | Shall we go down to the road and meet the car? |
3612 | Shall we sit down? |
3612 | She would n''t like it, would she? |
3612 | Should I be expected to carry a revolver, sir? |
3612 | Since when? |
3612 | Stop laughing: do you hear? |
3612 | Suppose it was a divil, what call have you to fear it? |
3612 | That helps you to face out the misery and the poverty and the torment, does n''t it? |
3612 | That''s what you call a fortune in Rosscullen, is it? |
3612 | That''s where I come in: eh? |
3612 | The point is, was I drunk enough not to be morally responsible for my proposal? |
3612 | The valley? |
3612 | Then hwat did you mane be talkin about givin him lan? |
3612 | Then why did n''t you if you''re an honorable man? |
3612 | Then you are not the first martyr of your family, Mr Haffigan? |
3612 | Three cheers for ould Ireland, is it? |
3612 | Tired? |
3612 | Tom: why do you select my most tragic moments for your most irresistible strokes of humor? |
3612 | Toujours Ballyhooly, eh? |
3612 | Was I fit for the responsibility or was I not? |
3612 | Was Patsy Farrll ever ill used as I was ill used? |
3612 | Was he industrious? |
3612 | Was that all you used to be thinking about? |
3612 | Was that it, Tom? |
3612 | We all have to stretch it a bit in politics: hwat''s the use o pretendin we do n''t? |
3612 | Well, Tim, will you come with me and help to break the ice between me and your warmhearted, impulsive countrymen? |
3612 | Well, what is there to say? |
3612 | Well, what shall we do? |
3612 | Well, what was I to do? |
3612 | Well, why could n''t you say so at once? |
3612 | Well, why not? |
3612 | Well-- er-- er-- well, to put it plainly, was I drunk? |
3612 | Well? |
3612 | Well? |
3612 | Were yever thinkin o goin into parliament at all, Larry? |
3612 | Were you at all hard hit? |
3612 | Were you spyin on me? |
3612 | Were you thinking of your money, Nora? |
3612 | What I say is, why not start a Garden City in Ireland? |
3612 | What am I to say to him? |
3612 | What are you doing here? |
3612 | What are you laughing at? |
3612 | What call have you to look down on Patsy Farrell? |
3612 | What call have you to look down on me? |
3612 | What d''ye mean by Hm!? |
3612 | What did Father Dempsey tell you about it? |
3612 | What did he ever suffer, I''d like to know? |
3612 | What did n''t? |
3612 | What did you think? |
3612 | What difference does that make? |
3612 | What do you expect me to do? |
3612 | What do you mean? |
3612 | What do you say? |
3612 | What do you want? |
3612 | What does it all come to? |
3612 | What good was it to them? |
3612 | What has Larry to do with it? |
3612 | What horse can go forty mile an hour? |
3612 | What is he to say to me? |
3612 | What is it like in your dreams? |
3612 | What is it? |
3612 | What is it? |
3612 | What is it? |
3612 | What is the use of giving land to such men? |
3612 | What is there behind it? |
3612 | What is there to laugh at? |
3612 | What might rethrenchment mane now? |
3612 | What more do we want to make us merry? |
3612 | What need you do? |
3612 | What of? |
3612 | What ought I to do? |
3612 | What sort of thing ded you mean, sir? |
3612 | What story have you heard about that? |
3612 | What the jeuce does Nora want to go to the Roun Tower for? |
3612 | What use do you suppose all this drivel is to men with serious practical business in hand? |
3612 | What was he doing here? |
3612 | What were you doin there, Patsy, listnin? |
3612 | What wickedness have you done to bring that curse on you? |
3612 | What would he be doing with a theory? |
3612 | What would you say if I proposed a visit to YOUR father? |
3612 | What''s that got to do with our English national character? |
3612 | What''s that you say? |
3612 | What''s that? |
3612 | What''s the good of the man that''s starved out of a farm murdering the man that''s starved into it? |
3612 | What''s the matter? |
3612 | What''s the matter? |
3612 | What''s to grieve them? |
3612 | What''s wrong with you today, Larry? |
3612 | What? |
3612 | Where else can I go? |
3612 | Where is Mr Haffigan? |
3612 | Where the devil did you pick up that seedy swindler? |
3612 | Where''s Mr Doyle? |
3612 | Where''s your father? |
3612 | Where''s your manners to go skyrocketin like that out o the box in the middle o your confession[ he threatens it with his stick]? |
3612 | Which of us has any right to reproach the other? |
3612 | Which would you say this counthry was: hell or purgatory? |
3612 | Who are you? |
3612 | Who are you? |
3612 | Who can blame him, Miss Doyle? |
3612 | Who can blame him? |
3612 | Who did he mean be that? |
3612 | Who''s there? |
3612 | Whose bruddher? |
3612 | Why are you so bitter? |
3612 | Why are you so down on every Irishman you meet, especially if he''s a bit shabby? |
3612 | Why ca n''t you say a simple thing simply, Larry, without all that Irish exaggeration and talky- talky? |
3612 | Why could n''t he throw the pig out into the road? |
3612 | Why could n''t they pay as well as Billy Byrne that took it after them? |
3612 | Why did n''t Mr Broadbent stop the car when the pig was gone? |
3612 | Why did n''t he wait? |
3612 | Why did n''t you give it up? |
3612 | Why did you stay here? |
3612 | Why do you talk to me in that unfeeling nonsensical way? |
3612 | Why not? |
3612 | Why not? |
3612 | Why not? |
3612 | Why should I be glad? |
3612 | Why should he come? |
3612 | Why should n''t it satisfy me? |
3612 | Why would you be such a fool as to let him take the seat in parliament from you? |
3612 | Why? |
3612 | Why? |
3612 | Will Doolan help you to get a license for your hotel? |
3612 | Will I come to Madagascar or Cochin China wid you? |
3612 | Will you always be duped by Acts of Parliament that change nothing but the necktie of the man that picks your pocket? |
3612 | Will you take it or leave it? |
3612 | Wo n''t you come down to Doolan''s and have a dhrop o brandy to take the shock off? |
3612 | Wo n''t you stay to tea? |
3612 | Wot else? |
3612 | Wots wrong with you, old chap? |
3612 | Would he len me five hunderd, d''ye think? |
3612 | Would it? |
3612 | Would n''t I? |
3612 | Would you have done such a thing? |
3612 | Yes of course I do: why should I tell you lies about it? |
3612 | Yes sir? |
3612 | Yes, sir? |
3612 | Yes, yes, yes? |
3612 | Yes: why not? |
3612 | Yes? |
3612 | You DO remember the places, then? |
3612 | You HWAT??? |
3612 | You HWAT??? |
3612 | You HWAT??? |
3612 | You agree with me, Mr Keegan, do n''t you? |
3612 | You answer the letters? |
3612 | You are satisfied? |
3612 | You are sure you are not allowing your enthusiasm for our principles to get the better of your judgment? |
3612 | You do n''t feel nervous about it, I suppose? |
3612 | You do n''t suppose I believe it, do you? |
3612 | You do n''t suppose I believe you, do you? |
3612 | You feel at home in the world, then? |
3612 | You feel better now, do n''t you? |
3612 | You find that contact with English ideas is stimulating, eh? |
3612 | You have some distance to go, Mr Haffigan: will you allow me to drive you home? |
3612 | You know the English plan, Mr Haffigan, do n''t you? |
3612 | You mean that it''s an act of treachery to Larry? |
3612 | You schoopid ass, what d''ye mean? |
3612 | You understand me? |
3612 | You wo n''t mind me axin, will ye? |
3612 | You''re glad of that? |
3612 | You''re goin to Ireland, then, out o sympithy: is it? |
3612 | You''re not going to cry, are you? |
3612 | You''ve come to me quicker than he has, have n''t you? |
3612 | You''ve nothin against that, have you? |
3612 | [ Before moving his plate] Have you done? |
3612 | [ Beginning to reflect] But look here: when were you drunk? |
3612 | [ Fluctuating] You really think so? |
3612 | [ Frightened a little] Who''s that? |
3612 | [ Genteelly] An what do you think of Ireland, Mr Broadbent? |
3612 | [ Going closer to her, anxiously and tenderly] You have n''t got neuralgia, have you? |
3612 | [ He sits down at the writing table opposite Larry, and adds, casually, but with an anxious glance at his partner] You''re coming with me, of course? |
3612 | [ Pleasantly, to the subject of this description] Are we, Mat? |
3612 | [ Shouting] Hallo, Patsy Farrell, where are you? |
3612 | [ Snarling angrily at Cornelius] Am I to be compared to Patsy Farrll, that does n''t harly know his right hand from his left? |
3612 | [ To Broadbent] Why d''ye put up with his foolishness, Mr Broadbent? |
3612 | [ To Keegan] What''s the true version of the story of that black man you confessed on his deathbed? |
3612 | [ Whispering] Do n''t you want to stay an vote against him? |
3612 | [ pointing with his stick to the sunset] that''s the gate o glory, is n''t it? |
3612 | and hwat have you been dreaming of? |
3612 | d''ye see? |
3612 | did you now? |
3612 | do you think he''s had n axidnt? |
3612 | eh? |
3612 | how is that possible? |
3612 | is it Jews you want to make of us? |
3612 | is it the sofa you''re afraid of? |
3612 | is this English sentiment so much more efficient than our Irish sentiment, after all? |
3612 | it''s all right: do you think I''d let you do it if it was n''t? |
3612 | not less than forty- two inches-- no: do n''t fuss: never mind the conventions: we''re two friends, are n''t we? |
3612 | that I appear drunk to you, Miss Reilly? |
3612 | that you do n''t care for me? |
3612 | the man that told the story of Haffigan''s pig Barney Doran''s way or Broadbent''s way? |
3612 | then? |
3612 | they''ve transferred the honor to you, have they? |
3612 | to see your people, to be in the old home again? |
3612 | what do you mean? |
3612 | what does it matter where an old and broken man spends his last days, or whether he has a million at the bank or only the workhouse dole? |
3612 | where are you jumpin to? |
3612 | where''s me pig? |
3612 | which would you rather give it to? |
3612 | why did n''t you tell me that before? |
3612 | you ask my advice about Miss Reilly? |
12777 | A pipe? |
12777 | A rattlesnake? |
12777 | Am I to take that stuff and dump it down the ravine? |
12777 | And for what are we fighting? |
12777 | And how could we find a rattler--_here_? 12777 And plenty of papers to go with it?" |
12777 | And then they gave you the tobacco for cigarettes, did they? |
12777 | And what will you be doing? |
12777 | And where are our tents and the other stuff? |
12777 | And you did n''t believe them? |
12777 | And you told them-----? |
12777 | And you''re leaving the coast clear for that purpose? |
12777 | And you''re with us, Ferrers? |
12777 | Any color today? |
12777 | Any real excitement going on? |
12777 | Anything up? |
12777 | Are the tents gone? |
12777 | Are you a baby? |
12777 | Are you a doctor? |
12777 | Are you afraid of snakes, Alf? |
12777 | Are you at the bottom of the shaft, sir? |
12777 | Are you going down now, sir? |
12777 | Are you going to get away from here? |
12777 | Are you going to leave our camp? |
12777 | Are you going to let the scoundrel start? |
12777 | Are you going to pack the charge? |
12777 | Are you leaving anything to eat? |
12777 | Are you miners--- or machinists? |
12777 | Are you still hearing the snakes? 12777 Are you?" |
12777 | Armed? |
12777 | At your age? 12777 But do n''t you hear the rattlesnake?" |
12777 | But do you feel differently, Tom? |
12777 | But how did that mine come to be there? |
12777 | But how did you come to be on hand, Leon? |
12777 | But how did you guess, Tom? |
12777 | But if some one should? |
12777 | But let me ask you men,continued Tom, facing the quartette,"do you claim that you ever made legal entry of your asserted title here?" |
12777 | But suppose Dolph Gage and his crew come over here, and you''re not armed? |
12777 | But the work? 12777 But what are you going to do when the men who have a grudge against you pack guns?" |
12777 | But who got behind you and scared you in that fashion? |
12777 | But why did you follow me? |
12777 | But you did n''t"What if some one comes now? |
12777 | But, just the same, you have n''t my faith in the mine, have you? |
12777 | By the way, sir,suggested Tom,"you are not going to use all of your men today?" |
12777 | Ca n''t we arbitrate? |
12777 | Ca n''t you use some of my muscle in helping you to loot our camp? |
12777 | Can you make a noise by grinding your molars together--- your grinding teeth? 12777 Cigarettes? |
12777 | Could n''t you get hold of an engineer at Dugout? |
12777 | Daylight? 12777 Did n''t I state that Dolph Gage shot him?" |
12777 | Did n''t it occur to you to wonder where Mr. Hazelton was? |
12777 | Did n''t that fellow kill my brother in a brawl? |
12777 | Did n''t you hear that? |
12777 | Did ye--- did ye kill''em for us, Dolph? |
12777 | Did you ever hear of''square gamblers''? |
12777 | Did you hear my advice? |
12777 | Did you really get a button? |
12777 | Did you see us? |
12777 | Did you think I was going to run into danger? |
12777 | Did you think, Jim, that we had never earned any money? |
12777 | Did you, Harry? |
12777 | Did you, Leon? |
12777 | Did--- I get--- lost? |
12777 | Do I get the makings? |
12777 | Do n''t happen to want a cigarette, either, do you? |
12777 | Do n''t you s''pose I know rattlers when I hear''em? |
12777 | Do you believe yourself to be so valuable that any one will want to steal you? |
12777 | Do you expect me to believe any such fairy tales as that? |
12777 | Do you know Jim? 12777 Do you know him?" |
12777 | Do you miss anything? |
12777 | Do you often see a finer lump than this? |
12777 | Do you really want to work for Dunlop? |
12777 | Do you steal food, too? |
12777 | Do you tell me, on your sacred honor,proposed Alf,"that you have n''t heard a single rattler this afternoon?" |
12777 | Do you think he''s going to die, Jim? |
12777 | Do you think it a good plan to take up the invitation of these gentlemen, Timmins? |
12777 | Do you think you look as healthy as I do? |
12777 | Do you want me to tell you, sir? |
12777 | Does it really sound like the click of a rattler? |
12777 | Does it? 12777 Does the vein run with the top of the ridge?" |
12777 | Doing anything? |
12777 | Drew, do you think you look as healthy as I do? |
12777 | Dynamite? |
12777 | Eh? |
12777 | Eh? |
12777 | Encourage us? |
12777 | Fair fight? |
12777 | Father, why ca n''t you come out of this wild country? 12777 Ferrers, do you know what ails this boy?" |
12777 | Fifty dollars? |
12777 | Fine, is n''t it? |
12777 | Fine, is n''t it? |
12777 | For nothing, boss? |
12777 | For that reason, are n''t we doubly wasting our time here? |
12777 | For what reason? |
12777 | For what? |
12777 | From the camp? |
12777 | Getting anything out of those ore- tests of yesterday''s dump? |
12777 | Going after the guns, now? |
12777 | Going prospecting? |
12777 | Going to get back? |
12777 | Good pulse, eh? |
12777 | Got a sliver in your hand? |
12777 | Got any shooting irons about you? |
12777 | Got the makings? |
12777 | Got what? |
12777 | Harry, what''s our office address? 12777 Has he asked for me?" |
12777 | Has it been prospected, sir? |
12777 | Has n''t he pot- shotted at me? 12777 Have I?" |
12777 | Have we? |
12777 | Have you any such paper to show us? |
12777 | Have you been inspecting the dump as the stuff came up? |
12777 | Have you looked at the sky? |
12777 | Hear that snake? |
12777 | Heard a new one? |
12777 | Heard o''Bald Knob? |
12777 | Hiding here--- with the officers looking for you? |
12777 | Him? 12777 How about that?" |
12777 | How did that happen? |
12777 | How did they come to be here? |
12777 | How do you do the trick, anyway? |
12777 | How do you know we have n''t? |
12777 | How do you know? |
12777 | How much do you figure there is in the dump? |
12777 | How much is it worth, boss? |
12777 | How much ore did you take it from? |
12777 | How much tobacco have you? |
12777 | How much will you young men want? |
12777 | How soon do you begin operations? |
12777 | How? |
12777 | Hunter,Tom asked,"are you good for going down a hundred feet or so on a knotted rope?" |
12777 | I s''pose you''re going to take some of the boys over with us, in case Gage tries to put up any shooting bluff? |
12777 | I see it does? |
12777 | I wonder if Ferrers can get back tonight? |
12777 | I wonder, Tom, if we''d better get out and hustle for Jobs? |
12777 | I''d get some lumber together, and make a pair of skis,suggested Jim, the next day,"but what is the use? |
12777 | I? 12777 I? |
12777 | If we left a paying mine, Jim, what would we want? |
12777 | If you go out to look for him, you''re not going armed, are you? |
12777 | In what line? |
12777 | Is Dolph Gage hunting it? |
12777 | Is Mr. Ferrers going to Dugout City? |
12777 | Is he? |
12777 | Is it as bad as that? |
12777 | Is it going to be cold enough to put a crust on the snow? |
12777 | Is it magic, Jim? |
12777 | Is that Pringle''s own signature? |
12777 | Is that the way you fight, you young cub? |
12777 | Is that your partner''s name? |
12777 | Is the pain severe, Harry? |
12777 | Is there that much money on the Indian Smoke? |
12777 | It does look rather poor, does n''t it, Harry? |
12777 | It was in the mine, sir, was n''t it? |
12777 | It''ll make his fever worse, wo n''t it? |
12777 | It''s none of my business, as I very well know, but may I inquire what all this trouble is about? |
12777 | Jim,called Tom, as he ran toward their mining party,"have you any idea what''s wrong with the Gage crowd?" |
12777 | Just so you can find a store where you can buy cigarettes? |
12777 | Just that,nodded the cook,"we had trouble, once, and you came out on top, did n''t you?" |
12777 | Just what are you up to? 12777 Just what kind of excitement?" |
12777 | Lad, do n''t you know that I''ve been all over this country with old- time prospectors? 12777 Lead at twelve cents a pound? |
12777 | Leon,Tom demanded,"what have you been doing to that poor little shrimp of a helper?" |
12777 | Lost your money in your claim, have n''t you? |
12777 | May I ask, Tom, what you''re up to, anyway? |
12777 | May I stay here? |
12777 | Mining engineers? |
12777 | Mining what? |
12777 | Mining? |
12777 | Mr. Hazelton in here? |
12777 | Mr. Reade, shall we try to pick up a trail and follow it? |
12777 | Notice how still the air is? 12777 Now I can go, ca n''t I?" |
12777 | Now, Harry, is that all you know about me? |
12777 | Now, are you going to stand aside? |
12777 | Now, then, Gage, do you claim that this strip has been claimed by one, Pringle? |
12777 | Now, what do you want us to do? |
12777 | Now, what''s the matter with you? |
12777 | Oh, what''s the use? |
12777 | On the capital that we have left? |
12777 | On the other hand, you have n''t engaged us, either"Wo n''t you keep the matter open until our return? |
12777 | Or does our vein run in scattered pockets? |
12777 | Outfit the camp liberally? |
12777 | Read? |
12777 | Say, do n''t you carry the makings? |
12777 | Say, how many years you been smoking, Jim Ferrers? |
12777 | Say, what was that big explosion? |
12777 | Say, wo n''t you take me with you? |
12777 | Smoke, is it? 12777 So Jim Ferrers is over in your camp, is he?" |
12777 | So that the law would say that Gage fired in self- defense, eh? |
12777 | So you think that, when men see you smoking cigarettes, they immediately imagine you to be one of them? 12777 So you think you can come here and take it from us, do you?" |
12777 | So you were hanging about, ready to back up the kid? |
12777 | So you''ve got the''makings,''have you? |
12777 | So, my bright little hero, you sold us out for a toy bale of cigarettes, did you? |
12777 | Some trick about that rattling? |
12777 | Tell you something straight? |
12777 | That seems like a foolish risk, does n''t it? |
12777 | That wo n''t last us long, will it? |
12777 | The fighting risk? |
12777 | The street corner where you''re to find the money, eh, Jim? |
12777 | The wires? |
12777 | Their bill would be a claim against our mine would n''t it? |
12777 | Then can you stay a few days? |
12777 | Then had n''t we better get out of it early, and go to work for some one who pays wages? |
12777 | Then the killing came about through the bad practice of carrying a revolver? |
12777 | Then there''s no reason, Jim, under mining customs, why we should n''t ride over there and stake out that claim? |
12777 | Then this is where you are? |
12777 | Then what did you come up for? |
12777 | Then why are we fooling around here? 12777 Then why does n''t he get better?" |
12777 | Then you have n''t engaged any engineer? |
12777 | Then you were at their camp? |
12777 | Then you wo n''t be sociable? |
12777 | Then you''ll come over to our camp, right away? |
12777 | Then you''re not coming over to our place? |
12777 | Then--- what? |
12777 | There are no more men to your crowd? |
12777 | There, did n''t you hear it? |
12777 | They are? |
12777 | They do n''t, eh? |
12777 | They were guessing the size of Ferrers''s army, were they? |
12777 | Those little chances go with being involved in a Nevada mining dispute, do n''t they? |
12777 | Those men over there? |
12777 | Tim, do you know anything about temperatures and drugs? |
12777 | Tim, have you ever had any practice in looking after sick people? |
12777 | Tim, what does this treachery mean? |
12777 | Tim, what shall I do next? |
12777 | Today''s send- up, then? |
12777 | Tom, how are we going to spend the money when we get it? |
12777 | Tom, who''s going to take the first trick of watch tonight? |
12777 | Tom, you everlasting joker, what happened? |
12777 | Too late? 12777 Want me?" |
12777 | Want the team yet? |
12777 | Wanter know? |
12777 | Was that all right, Tim? |
12777 | Was your brother killed? |
12777 | We ran up against one of that brood in Arizona, eh, Harry? |
12777 | Well, I-----"What did the men want to know about? |
12777 | Well, are n''t you three working for your living, too? |
12777 | Well, from one of four men, then? 12777 Well, sir?" |
12777 | Well, we shall have Dolph Gage and his crowd to guard against, wo n''t we? |
12777 | Well, what could be a safer place than right where we''re wanted? |
12777 | Well? |
12777 | What am I going to do, then? |
12777 | What are you going to call it? |
12777 | What are you going to do with the cartridges, though? |
12777 | What are you going to do with these guns, then? |
12777 | What are you going to do, Tom? |
12777 | What are you running so fast for, Harry? |
12777 | What are you talking about? |
12777 | What brings you in this section again? |
12777 | What did you do to please the four men? |
12777 | What did you tell them, then? |
12777 | What do we really want with fortunes? |
12777 | What do we want such a thing as that for? |
12777 | What do you mean? |
12777 | What do you say, Hazelton? |
12777 | What do you smoke then? |
12777 | What do you think about it? |
12777 | What do you think about it? |
12777 | What do you think of the sky? |
12777 | What do you want to do that for? |
12777 | What do you want? |
12777 | What for? 12777 What for?" |
12777 | What for? |
12777 | What has a baby to do with a''new one''? |
12777 | What has been the trouble, doc? |
12777 | What is it? |
12777 | What kinds? |
12777 | What on earth are you talking about? |
12777 | What on earth is he doing, anyway? |
12777 | What on earth is the matter, mosquito? |
12777 | What shall we call the claim? |
12777 | What was it? |
12777 | What was the racket? |
12777 | What''ll the feller pay me in? |
12777 | What''s the game here, Tom? |
12777 | What''s the matter, boss? |
12777 | What''s the matter, youngster? |
12777 | What''s the matter? |
12777 | What''s the need of waiting? |
12777 | What''s the use of a strong young fellow like him dying? |
12777 | What''s this? |
12777 | What''s to be done? |
12777 | What''s your idea of an optimist, anyway? |
12777 | What? 12777 What?" |
12777 | What? |
12777 | What? |
12777 | When? |
12777 | Where are the rest of your men? |
12777 | Where are we going to get any? |
12777 | Where are you going to find any? |
12777 | Where are you going to set the stuff off? |
12777 | Where are you going, Tim? |
12777 | Where be you, Dolph? |
12777 | Where can we begin to look? |
12777 | Where did you get it? |
12777 | Where did you leave the little fellow, Jim? |
12777 | Where does it hurt you most, chum? |
12777 | Where is Pringle? |
12777 | Where is the stuff now? |
12777 | Where is your camp? |
12777 | Where on earth can Harry be? |
12777 | Where''s Harry? |
12777 | Who are you, anyway? |
12777 | Who are you? |
12777 | Who is he, and how did he become bald? |
12777 | Who''s going to prowl? |
12777 | Who''s having Fourth of July around here? |
12777 | Who''s that coming? |
12777 | Who''s the very smart man that''s looking after your friend? |
12777 | Whose boss? |
12777 | Why are you trying to sneak away before your work is finished? |
12777 | Why did n''t the law take up Gage''s case when your brother was killed? |
12777 | Why did n''t you call me before, Tom? |
12777 | Why did you ever take up smoking? |
12777 | Why did you fire on those men without provocation? |
12777 | Why do n''t you go up, with my message, Hunter? |
12777 | Why do n''t you look the stuff over? |
12777 | Why not? |
12777 | Why not? |
12777 | Why on earth are you leaving the camp at that fellow''s mercy? |
12777 | Why on earth did n''t you tell me that before? |
12777 | Why should we blow ourselves up? 12777 Why will you be so foolish--- so nervous? |
12777 | Why, Reade? |
12777 | Why, how does that happen? |
12777 | Why? |
12777 | Why? |
12777 | Why? |
12777 | Will you call me in an hour, if I lie down? |
12777 | Will you look after the wood, Harry? |
12777 | Will you people try to keep an eye over the claim while I''m gone? |
12777 | Wo n''t need to work much longer? |
12777 | Would fanning the crucibles with my hat do any good? |
12777 | Would seventy- five dollars a month for each of you be satisfactory? |
12777 | Yes; but-----"Are you so little of an engineer that you do n''t know a_ mine_ when you see one, Harry? |
12777 | Yes? |
12777 | Yes? |
12777 | You advise me to forget that he shot at me? |
12777 | You are? |
12777 | You began poisoning yourself at the age of thirteen, and you''ve lived a whole year? 12777 You do n''t believe Gage will try to attack us on the way?" |
12777 | You do n''t suppose it''s pneumonia? |
12777 | You got even by placing me under a great obligation? |
12777 | You got it from four men? |
12777 | You have n''t any doubts about getting the gold, have you? |
12777 | You have n''t found the claim yet, then? |
12777 | You have? |
12777 | You have? |
12777 | You heard what I said, did n''t you? |
12777 | You know where to find the corner of Palace Avenue and Mission Street? |
12777 | You must know something about ore and croppings, and the like, Jim? 12777 You said that before; but what''s up?" |
12777 | You said you''d pay me five dollars a month and find me in everything, did n''t you? |
12777 | You saw for yourself, did n''t you? |
12777 | You''ll call me in an hour? |
12777 | You''re an honest man, are n''t you, Jim? |
12777 | You''re feeling better, now, are n''t you? |
12777 | You''re going to stop him? |
12777 | You''re not going to bounce me, are you? |
12777 | You''re not threatening me with your pistol, are you? |
12777 | You''re obeying him by leaving the claim, are n''t you? |
12777 | Your wha- a- at? |
12777 | And did n''t he do it again this afternoon?" |
12777 | And say, will he hand me the lead out of an automatic gun?" |
12777 | As soon as Tom found a chance he asked Dr. Scott:"Will a little excitement of the happiest kind hurt Hazelton any?" |
12777 | But how about the assays for gold and silver? |
12777 | But say, how did that assay read?" |
12777 | But the enemy?" |
12777 | But, as I understand the affair, if your brother had n''t been carrying a pistol he would n''t have been killed?" |
12777 | But--- why, where is the child?" |
12777 | By the way, Jim, where is Alf?" |
12777 | CHAPTER VIII JIM FERRERS, PARTNER"You mean it, do you?" |
12777 | Can you pick up at least six real miners at Dugout City?" |
12777 | Conclusion CHAPTER I ALF AND HIS"MAKINGS OF MANHOOD""Say, got the makings?" |
12777 | Do I make myself plain?" |
12777 | Do n''t you know that?" |
12777 | Do n''t you see?" |
12777 | Do n''t you want to get into the real--- the big performances of our profession?" |
12777 | Do n''t you want to spell me a bit out there, Tom? |
12777 | Do you begin to see, Jim Ferrers, where you come in? |
12777 | Do you forget that he carries a rifle?" |
12777 | Do you know a man anywhere who''d use us more honestly than you would?" |
12777 | Do you know what really ails him? |
12777 | Do you think I''ve waited, Reade, all these years to find a partner like you, and then allow him to go off in a blizzard that would sure finish him?" |
12777 | Do you understand?" |
12777 | Dunlop?" |
12777 | Dunlop?" |
12777 | Find it all reg''lar, too, do n''t you?" |
12777 | Fool with Gage?" |
12777 | Harry, do n''t you long to do some of the big things that are done by engineers? |
12777 | Have you?" |
12777 | Hazelton?" |
12777 | How did it figger?" |
12777 | How do you do the trick?" |
12777 | How long have you been smoking, Drew?" |
12777 | How much money have we now, Tom?" |
12777 | How old do you take us to be?" |
12777 | I guess I''d better write down some of these instructions, had n''t I?" |
12777 | I suppose you would be willing to let this matter remain open for a few days?" |
12777 | I wonder what the trouble can be?" |
12777 | If you do n''t want us to cheer, then what shall we do?" |
12777 | In other words, why do you destroy your five senses with cigarettes in this fashion?" |
12777 | Is he out in this storm?" |
12777 | Is that all, Mr. Reade? |
12777 | Is the money that you may make out here worth all the risk?" |
12777 | It was Dolph Gage, or one of his rascals, was n''t it?" |
12777 | It was Reade''s turn to ask:"Why?" |
12777 | Jim, do you know anything about the use of the medicines in this chest?" |
12777 | Jim, this snow- crust will bear the weight of a pony, wo n''t it?" |
12777 | Jim, you''ve prospected a bit, have n''t you?" |
12777 | Manly?" |
12777 | Mr. Dunlop--- I believe that is your name, sir?" |
12777 | Now, what do you say?" |
12777 | Now, where did they take our tents and the other stuff?" |
12777 | Now, you must have noticed that most of the outcropping rock around here is of a very refractory kind?" |
12777 | Oh, why did n''t I hear about Walsh earlier?" |
12777 | Reade demanded in pretended surprise,"with nearly all the ground in Nevada at your disposal?" |
12777 | Reade?" |
12777 | Reade?" |
12777 | Reade?" |
12777 | Reade?" |
12777 | Reade?" |
12777 | Reade?" |
12777 | Rest? |
12777 | Say, friend, how did that assay come out?" |
12777 | See here--- Reade''s your name, is n''t it?" |
12777 | Shall we hustle after our property?" |
12777 | That''s it, it?" |
12777 | There are laws in this state, are n''t there?" |
12777 | Though the men worked an hour overtime they did not succeed in sending up any more ore."Just one pocket?" |
12777 | To stand guard?" |
12777 | Tom glanced at his chum, then answered, slowly:"I''m sorry, Mr. Dunlop, sorry indeed, if-----""What are you trying to say?" |
12777 | Too cold out there?" |
12777 | Understand?" |
12777 | Want another pellet?" |
12777 | We''ll-----""Neighbors?" |
12777 | What are we going to do with it--- if we get it?" |
12777 | What are you talking about, Reade? |
12777 | What could you do to save me if I lost my hold and fell?" |
12777 | What did you do for the four men?" |
12777 | What do you say, Jim?" |
12777 | What do you want anyway?" |
12777 | What''ll they do to me now, I wonder?" |
12777 | What''s in there?" |
12777 | What''s the matter? |
12777 | Where are our assistant engineers--- where our draftsmen? |
12777 | Where are our foremen that we could summon to great undertakings? |
12777 | Where did you get it?" |
12777 | Where do you expect to wind up with your''makings''and your cigarettes?" |
12777 | Where is the costly equipment that we would need as a firm of really great engineers? |
12777 | Where''s your claim?" |
12777 | Why ca n''t I sleep on the other cot in this tent?" |
12777 | Why did the men chase you out of their shack?" |
12777 | Why not?" |
12777 | Why?" |
12777 | Will you have breakfast with us, sir?" |
12777 | Will you kindly introduce your friends?" |
12777 | Wo n''t it give you more satisfaction to feel that you''ve put Gage day for his bread and water? |
12777 | Yes, it would be like you to put me into danger and to leave yourself out of it, would n''t it?" |
12777 | Yet have you men any idea a how little chance we may have of striking that vein? |
12777 | You know the map of Dugout, do n''t you?" |
12777 | You will probably motor back to Dugout tomorrow morning, wo n''t you?" |
12777 | You''ve got to stop it after this; do you understand?" |
12777 | _ You_ ask me to do it, sir? |
12778 | A caravan? |
12778 | A letter? |
12778 | A map of your possessions only, Don Luis? |
12778 | A romance? 12778 A week? |
12778 | A year ago Alf Drew would have felt at home in this cigarette- puffing, sallow- faced lot, would n''t be? |
12778 | A_ medico_? |
12778 | Abandoned? |
12778 | Ah, so you are afraid? |
12778 | Am I not commanded to keep with you everywhere, and serve you in all things? |
12778 | Am I not paying you? |
12778 | Am I still the servant of the American gentlemen, Don Luis? |
12778 | And how long would we be held_ incommunicado_? |
12778 | And is your mine a profitable one? |
12778 | And now what can I do for you,_ caballeros_? |
12778 | And perhaps Don Luis may be behind the rascal, urging him on and offering to protect him from the law? 12778 And run into Gato?" |
12778 | And then-- what? |
12778 | And then? |
12778 | And this estate was part of the mine property? |
12778 | And what can he be doing in this out of the way part of the world? |
12778 | And what if I had so intended? |
12778 | And what is to become of me,_ caballeros_? |
12778 | And where''s Nicolas, all this time? |
12778 | And who are you? |
12778 | And why not,_ caballeros_? |
12778 | And you are sure you can find the scoundrel? |
12778 | And you have the courage to try to hand a note to Gato? |
12778 | And you will sign the new report-- when? |
12778 | And your friend, who does not appear here in person, is Senor Hazelton? 12778 And, if the engineers were dishonest the capitalists would lose their money, would n''t they?" |
12778 | And, if you ca n''t arrange it--? |
12778 | Any one calling me? |
12778 | Anything in that lot that''s all ready to be eaten without fussy preparation, Nicolas? |
12778 | Are not his excellency, the governor, and I, the best of friends? 12778 Are these your men?" |
12778 | Are they just walking about, aimlessly? 12778 Are they, in the end, going to trick me, Carlos?" |
12778 | Are we going to the mine this morning, Don Luis? |
12778 | Are we to kill the Americanos from ambush? |
12778 | Are you gentlemen, then, mine owners as well as mine experts? |
12778 | Are you going to stay, Tom, and have any further talk with this thief? |
12778 | Are you going to take us to see the other mines? |
12778 | Breaking a contract? |
12778 | Business? |
12778 | But Don Luis will be angry, in any case, if you injure his engineers, wo n''t he? |
12778 | But did you see his other men at any time in the night? |
12778 | But does n''t the governor of Bonista ever hear of the disappearances? |
12778 | But even suppose that these Gringos have absurdly fanciful ideas of honor? 12778 But have you gone as much as a whole week drilling and blasting through blank rock?" |
12778 | But how? |
12778 | But what about saving the victim of the intended swindle? |
12778 | But what are you doing here? |
12778 | But what''s the matter? |
12778 | But why do you put so much enthusiasm into the report, Don Luis, when the mine is not for sale and is not to be run as a stock company property? |
12778 | But why not? |
12778 | But why should Don Luis want to salt his own mine? |
12778 | But will that be suitable to go to breakfast in? |
12778 | But you believe that you will be ready to meet my views? |
12778 | But you do not yet know? |
12778 | Butter,_ caballero_? 12778 By comparison it would make the mines in the United States look poor, would it not?" |
12778 | Ca n''t you guess? |
12778 | Can Gato shoot any better than he fights? |
12778 | Can I serve you further, now,_ caballeros_inquired Nicolas, with great respect,"or shall I bring you the remainder of your breakfast?" |
12778 | Can Nicolas have fallen into any harm? |
12778 | Can it be that the people in Bonista do their work at night? |
12778 | Can you beat it? |
12778 | Could I? |
12778 | Did Don Luis send you after us, Nicolas? |
12778 | Did I not suggest that these Gringos would not be easily controlled? |
12778 | Did any one at the house send you? |
12778 | Did you not see some of the problems before you, while we were going through the mine? |
12778 | Did you notice how much rich ore there was in each tunnel to- day? 12778 Displeased? |
12778 | Do n''t capitalists usually invest large sums on a favorable report from engineers? |
12778 | Do n''t you really know, Reade, what the limits of the property are? |
12778 | Do the other mines pay as well as_ El Sombrero_? |
12778 | Do you agree with your associate, Hazelton? |
12778 | Do you call this last work well done? |
12778 | Do you call yourself a brave man, to fight an unarmed foe like this? |
12778 | Do you care to go, Senor Tomaso? |
12778 | Do you figure out anything concerning him? |
12778 | Do you hear the Gringo, my good Carlos? |
12778 | Do you imagine that Montez will ever allow us to get face to face with the man who''s to be fleeced? |
12778 | Do you intend starting now, senor? |
12778 | Do you know how to use this, senor? |
12778 | Do you mean to tell me,demanded Tom, astonished,"that you could go openly and safely to Gato?" |
12778 | Do you not understand? 12778 Do you really wish to send Gato a letter?" |
12778 | Do you think you could stand life with us, in the United States? |
12778 | Do you want us to keep our hands up forever? |
12778 | Do you wish anything,_ caballero_? |
12778 | Do you wish speed, excellency? |
12778 | Does Don Luis intend to have us arrested, after all, and sent to prison to be held_ incommunicado_, and so make sure of keeping us out of the way? |
12778 | Does Don Luis own this side of Mexico, or this wing of the Mexican Army? |
12778 | Does it take much of your time, may I ask? |
12778 | Does what take much of my time? |
12778 | Don Luis, it will be enough if we give you our answer by the morning of day after to- morrow? 12778 Don Luis?" |
12778 | Eggs? |
12778 | Eh? |
12778 | Eh? |
12778 | Excellency, we shall hope to have some eggs by to- morrow,"Harry, you idiot, why did n''t you ask for mince pie and doughnuts, too? |
12778 | For me? 12778 For what is the use of being strong if I could not tramp after more wood to- morrow?" |
12778 | From that what would you infer? |
12778 | Gato will not attempt to give us any orders, of course? |
12778 | Gato, just what do you mean by your remark? |
12778 | Go away and leave you here? |
12778 | Going afield, sir? |
12778 | Greaser? |
12778 | Harry, is n''t it just as great an ambition to be an honest engineer as it is to be a highly capable one? |
12778 | Harry, will you keep behind our guest of the evening and spur him on if he shows signs of lagging? |
12778 | Has Don Luis come down yet? |
12778 | Has Don Luis gone to the mine? |
12778 | Has he gotten wind of the fact that we have a stranger here? 12778 Have you any further questions that you wish to ask me at present?" |
12778 | Have you any record of the number of times that you have encountered the blank rock, and the number of feet in thickness of the wall in each case? |
12778 | Have you sold your mine? |
12778 | Have you too little courage to answer me? |
12778 | Have you writing materials? |
12778 | He will, oh? |
12778 | He''s stringing Don Luis, of course, but to what end? |
12778 | Here at your table? |
12778 | Here, so close to where the troops might pick us up? |
12778 | How about a steak, Tom? |
12778 | How can I know so soon, senor? |
12778 | How could he be dangerous when you had his weapon? |
12778 | How could that be? |
12778 | How could the American minister learn what was going on in this country? 12778 How dare you, senor?" |
12778 | How do you feel, now? |
12778 | How does it seem to be a rascal, Tom? |
12778 | How far did we go, Tom? |
12778 | How is one to get back the money that he has put into a gold mine? |
12778 | How long have these streaks of blank rock been? |
12778 | How long? |
12778 | How many better mines than_ El Sombrero_ have you seen? |
12778 | How often has it happened? |
12778 | How on earth did you get here? |
12778 | How runs the ore this morning? |
12778 | How should I know? |
12778 | How so? |
12778 | How? 12778 How?" |
12778 | How? |
12778 | How? |
12778 | I signaled you, Don Luis, to inquire if Ellsworth and myself might go on your drive with you? |
12778 | I wonder how many people Nicolas is serving this morning? |
12778 | I wonder if there is any treachery in this? |
12778 | Impossible? 12778 In the state of Bonista especially?" |
12778 | In trouble? 12778 In what direction is the smelter?" |
12778 | Is Don Luis Montez of your number? |
12778 | Is Dr. Tisco around? |
12778 | Is he always as late as this? |
12778 | Is it all that a careful investor would want? |
12778 | Is it ready? |
12778 | Is it suspicious for a foreigner to be walking about in Mexico? |
12778 | Is that the truth? |
12778 | Is the stranger back in your tent, Nicolas? |
12778 | Is there no place where you can buy food for us? |
12778 | Is this ore as good as you usually find in this vein? |
12778 | Is this what you call a run of poor luck? |
12778 | Is your answer ready? |
12778 | It seems strange, does n''t it,asked Harry,"that such a fine girl can possibly be Don Luis''s daughter?" |
12778 | It wo n''t get your relative into any trouble, will it, Nicolas? |
12778 | It would be hard to, would n''t it? |
12778 | It_ is_ a fine mine, is n''t it, Senor Tomaso? |
12778 | Kill a poor_ peon_? |
12778 | Let right triumph, after we''re buried,continued Harry,"and what good would it do us?" |
12778 | May I ask if_ El Padre_ is one of your properties, Don Luis? |
12778 | Meaning our sick man? |
12778 | Mexico is not often at war, is she? |
12778 | Mr. Haynes,Tom asked, anxiously, one day,"would you have done the same as we did, had you been in our place?" |
12778 | My turn for what, senor? |
12778 | Nevertheless, to please me, will you put this report into your own English? |
12778 | Nicolas, can you spare wood enough to start a little campfire? |
12778 | Nicolas,asked Tom, with sudden inspiration,"is there any store hereabouts? |
12778 | No; we simply ca n''t and wo n''t remain here unless-- well, unless--"What are you trying to say, senor? |
12778 | No; why should I want it when I own_ El Sombrero_? |
12778 | No? |
12778 | Not connected? |
12778 | Nothing else? |
12778 | Now, what part is the girl to play here? |
12778 | Now, what? |
12778 | Now, who said anything about that? |
12778 | Now, why on earth did you talk to Don Luis in that fashion? |
12778 | Now, will you set the shovelers at work moving this stuff back a little way? 12778 Odd, is n''t it, Tom?" |
12778 | Of what? |
12778 | Oh, Gato? 12778 Oh, how should I know? |
12778 | Oh, really the manager of the mine, then? |
12778 | Oh, you will eh? |
12778 | Oh? 12778 Perhaps the senor will explain?" |
12778 | Put off breakfast until to- morrow? |
12778 | Refuse? |
12778 | See here, you Nicolas,remarked Tom, protestingly,"why on earth did n''t you stay put? |
12778 | Senor, are you making fun of me? |
12778 | Senor,he asked,"you would not betray me?" |
12778 | Senor-- Haynes? |
12778 | Sergeant, may I send a telegram from here? |
12778 | Sha n''t we all go down? |
12778 | Sir,demanded Mr. Haynes, bluntly,"is the mine a valuable one, or is it a swindle?" |
12778 | So Don Luis has brought you here to show whether you are any good? |
12778 | Suspicion of what? |
12778 | That sometimes happens in_ El Sombrero_,Don Luis replied, smoothly,"How often has it happened?" |
12778 | That-- that-- game? |
12778 | The land of golden eggs? |
12778 | The limits? |
12778 | Then of what does the breakfast here usually consist? |
12778 | Then possibly you have overlooked building any dungeons under the house? 12778 Then what are you doing here, if you bring us no news?" |
12778 | Then what are you talking about? |
12778 | Then what do you think of the Gringo pair, my good Carlos? |
12778 | Then who is_ he_? |
12778 | Then why are we waiting here? |
12778 | Then why do you two not sleep for a while? |
12778 | Then why the soldier? |
12778 | Then you believe that Gato plans something diabolical, just because I walloped him in a fair fight-- or in a fight where the odds were against me? |
12778 | Then you believe that_ El Sombrero_ will not turn out much more profitable ore? |
12778 | Then you know Don Luis? |
12778 | Then you were delighted with the mine? |
12778 | Then_ El Sombrero_ Mine is worthless? |
12778 | These are your American visitors? |
12778 | This game-- interests you? |
12778 | This will be enough for one meal,_ caballeros_? |
12778 | Tom Reade, are you going crazy? |
12778 | Tom, what do you say? 12778 Walking?" |
12778 | Well,_ caballeros_, does it need much discussion to enable you to accept my kindness? |
12778 | What ails the stuff? |
12778 | What ails this lot of ore? |
12778 | What ails you? 12778 What are you going to do now?" |
12778 | What could he want of us that is crooked? |
12778 | What did I say to you, Don Luis? |
12778 | What did I say? |
12778 | What did you think of the young lady, Tom? |
12778 | What do you make of it? |
12778 | What do you mean, Sergeant? |
12778 | What do you mean? |
12778 | What do you really think of this mine, Reade? |
12778 | What do you think? |
12778 | What does Don Luis, then, usually order? |
12778 | What does he eat after that? |
12778 | What does he want us for, then? 12778 What does this mean, Reade?" |
12778 | What have you been doing? |
12778 | What if he does? |
12778 | What is he doing around here? |
12778 | What is it that you have to say? |
12778 | What is it? |
12778 | What is this, Senor Reade? |
12778 | What on earth are the Gringos doing? |
12778 | What on earth is Tom driving at? |
12778 | What on earth will Don Luis think of us? |
12778 | What shall we wear, Tom? |
12778 | What will be the outcome of this adventure, under the law? |
12778 | What''s the game, anyway? |
12778 | What''s the use of the trunks, anyway? |
12778 | What''s up? |
12778 | When do you expect your purchasers? |
12778 | When will you be ready to turn the money over, gentlemen? |
12778 | Where is Senor Reade? |
12778 | Where is the next best mine around here? |
12778 | Where is_ El Padre_( the Priest) located? |
12778 | Where''s the butter, Nicolas? |
12778 | Where? |
12778 | Who are you, senor? |
12778 | Who can say? |
12778 | Who can say? |
12778 | Who on earth can he be? |
12778 | Who, then? |
12778 | Who? |
12778 | Why did you tell him not to mind the butter? |
12778 | Why do n''t you tell your bandit friends that you are angry because of the trouncing I gave you before a lot of men? 12778 Why have they stopped me?" |
12778 | Why not ask them here, Senor Tomaso? |
12778 | Why not? |
12778 | Why should I concern myself with the business that belongs to an hidalgo like Don Luis? |
12778 | Why should I? 12778 Why should he bring ore from another mine to_ El Sombrero_?" |
12778 | Why should you need to escape, if you are honest men, engaged in honest business? |
12778 | Why was it necessary to your safety, senor, since you had the fellow''s rifle and his ammunition? 12778 Why was it necessary?" |
12778 | Why, Lieutenant, do you feel that we should have turned a deadly enemy loose? |
12778 | Why, it is n''t a felony to try to get out of Mexico, is it? |
12778 | Why, your news refers to nothing more than a wreck on your Arizona railway system, does n''t it? |
12778 | Why? 12778 Why?" |
12778 | Why? |
12778 | Will it be showing sufficient courtesy to our host? 12778 Will the senor pardon me for saying,"ventured the telegrapher,"that this message reads much as though yourself and a friend are trying to escape?" |
12778 | Will the_ caballeros_ have some more chocolate? |
12778 | Will you be good enough to explain? |
12778 | Will you be good enough to have one of your servants take my horse? |
12778 | Will you be seated,_ caballeros_? |
12778 | Will you furnish us with transportation from here? |
12778 | Will you help to hide me here, and then go away and be silent? |
12778 | Wo n''t you come outside,suggested Tom,"and tell me the object of your call this evening? |
12778 | Worse? |
12778 | Would I? |
12778 | Yes-- but what''s the use? |
12778 | Yes? |
12778 | Yet I wonder if our young engineer does not half suspect that Don Luis has no man at the other end of the wire? |
12778 | Yet what are we doing here? |
12778 | You agree with that statement, do you, Hazelton? |
12778 | You are Senor Reade, are you not? |
12778 | You are confident of that, Reade? |
12778 | You are the expert here at the mine? |
12778 | You are the surgeon at the mine? |
12778 | You did not know this before? |
12778 | You didn''t-- you did n''t knife the scoundrel? |
12778 | You do n''t have much occupation at that game, do you, senor? |
12778 | You have seen my new engineers, Carlos? |
12778 | You mean to Don Luis? |
12778 | You will come with us, Carlos? |
12778 | You will oblige me by coming back to the house, wo n''t you, Don Luis? |
12778 | You will smoke, gentlemen? |
12778 | You will take one last ride with me, will you not? 12778 You will want the big ledger for facts?" |
12778 | You wish me to leave you alone, now? |
12778 | You wish to linger? |
12778 | You, too, have been walking then, Senor Hazelton? |
12778 | You-- go to Gato? |
12778 | You? |
12778 | You? |
12778 | You? |
12778 | _ Caballeros_,he inquired, suddenly,"what did you think of_ El Sombrero_?" |
12778 | _ Quien sabe_? |
12778 | Am I not paying you?" |
12778 | Am I right, Harry?" |
12778 | And did you notice, too, that when blasts were made with us looking on, no ore worthy of the name was dug loose? |
12778 | And now, Senores Reade and Hazelton, shall we resume our interrupted ride in the car?" |
12778 | And suppose the daughter should be at table?" |
12778 | And what, in the end, is to be the fate of poor little Nicolas? |
12778 | Any place where food can be purchased?" |
12778 | Are they such fools as to refuse me when they find that I hold their lives in the palm of my hand?" |
12778 | Besides, what show would a stranger have in the courts in this part of Mexico? |
12778 | But what will be the use-- provided they help you to get the American money into your hands? |
12778 | But why do you ask all this, Senor Tomaso?" |
12778 | But you remember the day well enough, Harry?" |
12778 | But you, Senor Tomaso, would you not like to step inside and lie down for a while?" |
12778 | But, in the meantime, now that we are friends and really partners-- will you not come over and share the comforts of my poor home while we wait?" |
12778 | By"blank rock"Tom meant rock that did not contain a promising or paying amount of metal in the ore."What it means?" |
12778 | CHAPTER VII DON LUIS''S ENGINEERING PROBLEM"Gato?" |
12778 | CHAPTER X THE SPIRIT OF A TRUE ENGINEER"Do you know, Don Luis,"drawled Tom,"that you have one fine quality?" |
12778 | CHAPTER XVIII CRAFT-- OR SURRENDER? |
12778 | Can it be that you mean it?" |
12778 | Can we promise you more?" |
12778 | Could it be that this hard, cruel man had the right to address her in endearing terms? |
12778 | Craft-- Or Surrender? |
12778 | Did they not realize that the nearest railway train was seventy miles away? |
12778 | Do not all men hereabouts obey my orders? |
12778 | Do you comprehend?" |
12778 | Do you see the point that I am raising?" |
12778 | Do you think you can defy me-- that here, on my own estates, you can slap me in the face and ride away with laughter?" |
12778 | Do you want to go with me?" |
12778 | Does Don Luis know all about the man? |
12778 | Does n''t that look as though he wanted to sell? |
12778 | Hardly worthy of the name of tamping, is it?" |
12778 | Harry, do you remember the day that Nicolas was gone so long that you were uneasy about him? |
12778 | Harry, we''re pining for the good old U.S., are n''t we?" |
12778 | Has it escaped you, Don Luis, that some of these obstinate, mule- headed Gringos are guilty of an especial form of ingratitude which they term honor?" |
12778 | Have we been defrauded in any way?" |
12778 | He is ill, then?" |
12778 | He, of a proud hidalgo family, a vile assassin, in thought at least?" |
12778 | How do I know that you are not breaking a contract?" |
12778 | How do I know that you have any right to leave Mexico? |
12778 | How long would it have taken Gato to find his men and bring them down upon us-- three or four guns against one?" |
12778 | How many weapons have they, and of what kind?" |
12778 | If you do not feel like accepting my opinion of you, then will you meet me and explain your conduct as one real man talks with another? |
12778 | In the meantime, since we can not live here, what do you expect us to do?" |
12778 | Is Gato on the warpath for us?" |
12778 | Is he a knave, or only a harmless braggart? |
12778 | Is he a man against whom one should be seriously on his guard? |
12778 | Is he playing on my nerves at this moment?" |
12778 | Is there a revolution, then, in the state of Bonista?" |
12778 | Let me see; at what value do you hold it?" |
12778 | May I ask you what this means?" |
12778 | My Gringo wild- cat is much tamer, is n''t he?" |
12778 | Now, are you not satisfied that I have dealt fairly with you?" |
12778 | Now, honestly, is n''t all that ambition enough to hold us for a few weeks?" |
12778 | Now-- are you listening?" |
12778 | Only he?" |
12778 | Shall we bring him here and look after him?" |
12778 | Shall we start along?" |
12778 | So he exclaimed, aloud:"Fifty thousand dollars a year, Don Luis? |
12778 | So this fellow is in irons?" |
12778 | So? |
12778 | Suppose,_ caballeros_, that we move into the office?" |
12778 | Surely, you do n''t intend to shoulder these trunks to the railway station-- seventy miles away?" |
12778 | The Gringos refuse me-- betray me? |
12778 | Then inquired,"What are we going to do now?" |
12778 | Then your master eats in his own room?" |
12778 | There is one within twenty miles, is there not?" |
12778 | Therefore, will you not be so good as to sign the report?" |
12778 | They have sampled your power,""Yet why do you object, Carlos, to having the Gringo pair put out of the way?" |
12778 | Think you any judge would dare sign a process against me, and send_ peon_ officers of the law to interfere with me? |
12778 | This is yours, is it not?" |
12778 | Tom repeated what he had written, then asking:"Do you think, Nicolas, that it will be safe for you to take this to Pedro Gato?" |
12778 | Tom, do you believe that you could possibly have been deceived as to the valued of this mining property?" |
12778 | Was he not?" |
12778 | We know how to arrange that, eh, my staunch Carlos?" |
12778 | What I meant to say was not''war lord,''but-- but--""Over lord?" |
12778 | What do you say, Harry? |
12778 | What do you say, my boy?" |
12778 | What do you think about that, Nicolas?" |
12778 | What does it matter, to a man who owns_ El Sombrero_?" |
12778 | What will Don Luis think of us? |
12778 | When do you want to go after him?" |
12778 | When shall we go to the mine?" |
12778 | Where are you taking us?" |
12778 | Where can he be?" |
12778 | Who can escape the net that I am able to spread in these mountains? |
12778 | Who can guess?" |
12778 | Who goes there?) |
12778 | Why not? |
12778 | Why not?" |
12778 | Why?" |
12778 | Will you do me the favor of accepting this as a remembrance? |
12778 | Will you give me your word to remain here until I return?" |
12778 | Will you kindly tell the foreman so, Don Luis?" |
12778 | Will you trust me to serve you, senor?" |
12778 | Will_ el gobernador_ ask any awkward questions if two Gringos should stroll through these mountains and never be heard from again? |
12778 | Wo n''t Don Luis merely have us assassinated in the end, if we go on proving stubborn?" |
12778 | Would he give heed to rumors against me, brought by evil- tongued men? |
12778 | Would our fate ever reach the outside world?" |
12778 | You have been traveling for some time?" |
12778 | You? |
33306 | ''We''? |
33306 | A closed door? 33306 A night guard?" |
33306 | Also, you were wearing it that other night, when you heaved a stone down on my office roof? |
33306 | Am I not your friend, too? |
33306 | And the Carson business: you were mixed up in that, too? |
33306 | And the distance to Jack''s Cabin? |
33306 | And the electric signal service system in the upper canyon is a part of the defence for the mine? |
33306 | And the family is Southern-- from what section? |
33306 | And you analysed it? |
33306 | And you have never sought for an explanation?--beyond the one which would stamp him as the vilest, the most inhuman of criminals? |
33306 | And you know who did it? |
33306 | And you say that Mr. Pelham knows this? |
33306 | And you say that the hoodoo has n''t got around to using high explosives yet, eh? 33306 And you think one of the stone- cutters went down from the camp to give Hoskins a jolt?" |
33306 | And you were wearing that rain- coat when you did it? |
33306 | Anybody I know? |
33306 | Anybody been over to- day? |
33306 | Are they frequent in the head basin of the Boiling Water? |
33306 | Are you still determined not to let me efface it for you? |
33306 | Are you sure of that, Aunt June? |
33306 | Are you? 33306 Around the office, you say?" |
33306 | At what time in that day? |
33306 | Beckwith with his game- bag? |
33306 | Been bearding the lion in his den, have you? |
33306 | Blood? |
33306 | Bromley? 33306 But first let me ask you, Bromley: What sort of a rifle marksman was Sanderson?" |
33306 | But to- day? |
33306 | But why should two, or a dozen of them, fire on us in the dark? 33306 Ca n''t the old fellow be conciliated in some way?" |
33306 | Ca n''t you see what would happen-- what is likely to happen if Mr. Wingfield sees fit to make literary material out of all these mysteries? |
33306 | Carload o''hosses? |
33306 | Cloud- bursts? |
33306 | Could n''t he swim? |
33306 | Did I not? 33306 Did he come here horseback?" |
33306 | Did n''t I tell you he is going to be_ my_ guest? |
33306 | Did n''t I? 33306 Did n''t you know it?" |
33306 | Did you kill Macpherson?--as well as Braithwaite and Sanderson? |
33306 | Did you or Mr. Bromley notice what bend o''the river that curve is at? |
33306 | Did you see them do it? |
33306 | Do n''t like the looks of it, do you? |
33306 | Do n''t need a chief, do you? |
33306 | Do n''t we always say that when the trouble is personal? |
33306 | Do you blame me, Loudon? |
33306 | Do you dare to repeat those stories to me? |
33306 | Do you expect me to tell you about it here and now?--with Mr. Wingfield sitting just three seats back of me, on the right? |
33306 | Do you happen to know where she is now? |
33306 | Do you know what you have done? 33306 Do you never change your plans suddenly, Mr. Ballard? |
33306 | Do you think I''m going to lie down and let these cattle- punchers ride rough- shod over me and the company I represent? 33306 Do you want to know how much I trust you? |
33306 | Elsa, dearest, can you look me in the eyes and tell me that you do not love_ me_? |
33306 | Father, are you asleep? |
33306 | For me? 33306 For purely commercial reasons, of course? |
33306 | Getting on your nerves, Jerry? |
33306 | Gold? |
33306 | Good load to- night, John? |
33306 | Had n''t you heard it? 33306 Has any one told you that Mr. Wingfield is making the studies for a new play?" |
33306 | Has nobody ever seen the inside of this Golconda of a mine? |
33306 | Have you? |
33306 | He was willing? |
33306 | Horse- play, is it? |
33306 | How about the cow- puncher-- Grigsby-- who brought my horse over and got my bag? |
33306 | How about your friend? |
33306 | How are you coming on with the work, Loudon? |
33306 | How are you getting on? |
33306 | How can the genial, kindly, magnanimous man we know, or think we know, be such a fiend incarnate? |
33306 | How can you question it? |
33306 | How could she be runnin''any way but forrards? |
33306 | How could there be? |
33306 | How could you know it? 33306 How could you reason your way around to that?" |
33306 | How did they manage to move the sick man? |
33306 | How do you know? |
33306 | How does he get the water up there to make all that greenery? |
33306 | How else would I get there? |
33306 | How is the bullet- gouge by this time? |
33306 | How long does it take you to really get acquainted with people? |
33306 | How long had your train been broken in two before the two sections came in collision? |
33306 | How long have you known this? |
33306 | How many men do you suppose Carson can muster for this cattle round- up? |
33306 | How much have you got of this? |
33306 | How? |
33306 | How? |
33306 | I suppose I do n''t need to ask if you can ride a range pony? |
33306 | I''m not vindictive: why should I be? |
33306 | I? 33306 If you did n''t break in two, what did happen?" |
33306 | If you were called in as an expert, what would you make of that? |
33306 | In the courts, you mean? |
33306 | Is Mr. Bromley to marry your widow? 33306 Is Mr. Bromley your boss?" |
33306 | Is he badly hurt? |
33306 | Is he truly Jack Forsyth''s successor? |
33306 | Is it always going to be''some time''? 33306 Is it going to bump those fellows off of our trail?" |
33306 | Is it loaded? |
33306 | Is that all? |
33306 | Is there anybody in your camp who knows the trail? |
33306 | Is your name Manuel? |
33306 | It was up to me, was n''t it, Colonel Craigmiles? |
33306 | It''s pretty bad, is n''t it? |
33306 | Let me have a look at it, will you? |
33306 | Looking for trouble with Manuel, you would say? |
33306 | Loudon, has it ever occurred to you that the colonel''s mine play is a very large- sized trump card? 33306 Loudon, what manner of man is this Colonel Craigmiles?" |
33306 | Meaning that I have found the man who is responsible for all these desperate and deadly doings? 33306 Meaning that I might let you go and dress for dinner? |
33306 | Meaning that this cow- boy cattle- thief tangle in the lower valley has made you_ persona non grata_ at Castle''Cadia? 33306 Meaning the broken formations?" |
33306 | More accidents? |
33306 | No? 33306 No? |
33306 | Not mention it?--to Bromley? 33306 Now, then, I want to know where you got that sample, Breckenridge?" |
33306 | Of what? |
33306 | Oh, I say, Loudon; has that canyon path been dug out again?--where the slide was? |
33306 | Oh; so there_ was_ a quarrel? 33306 On general principles?" |
33306 | Others? |
33306 | Out of Castle''Cadia? 33306 Perhaps you have met Miss-- er-- the daughter who comes and goes?" |
33306 | Really? |
33306 | Say, Mr. Ballard; what do you do when a horse bucks under you? |
33306 | Say; how many of you did it take to run this here little bluff on us? |
33306 | So it was you who hit Bromley on the head and knocked him into the canyon? |
33306 | Somebody''s private hotel? |
33306 | Strike work, you mean? |
33306 | Summing it all up, what is your conclusion, Wingfield? 33306 That is a very natural question; but does n''t it strike you, Mr. Ballard, that this is hardly the time or place to go into it?" |
33306 | That was Braithwaite''s notion, I suppose? |
33306 | That was almost tragic, was n''t it? |
33306 | That you, Loudon? |
33306 | The danger is immediate, then? |
33306 | The motive? |
33306 | The what? |
33306 | Then Billy Sanderson took it-- you remember Billy, in my year? 33306 Then Pelham and his people were interlopers?" |
33306 | Then you did n''t mean what you were saying? |
33306 | Then you doubtless know who is responsible for all the terrible happenings; the-- the_ crimes_? |
33306 | Then you entirely disregard the little type- written note? |
33306 | There is no connection between the two-- in your mind? |
33306 | There was no one hurt? 33306 There were witnesses, you say? |
33306 | There''s hope f''r the little man, Misther Ballard? |
33306 | They have left you alone? |
33306 | Think so? 33306 This is Mr. Ballard, I believe?" |
33306 | To get ahead of us, you mean? |
33306 | To- night? |
33306 | To-- to Wingfield? |
33306 | Very well.... Jerry, what we are talking about now is strictly between gentlemen: do you understand? |
33306 | Want me to come with it? |
33306 | Was that all? |
33306 | Was that before or after the opening of your father''s mine over yonder? |
33306 | Watch the dam? |
33306 | Well, what do you think now, Breckenridge? |
33306 | Well? |
33306 | Well? |
33306 | Well? |
33306 | Well? |
33306 | Were you near enough to identify the man if-- if you should see him again? |
33306 | What am I to look for? |
33306 | What are you going to do about it, Mr. Wingfield? 33306 What are you two young people plotting about over there?" |
33306 | What are your means of communication with the towns in the Gunnison valley? |
33306 | What do you believe? |
33306 | What do you know about it, Gardiner? 33306 What do you know about such things?" |
33306 | What do you know about the colonel''s house- hold, Loudon? |
33306 | What do you make of it, Loudon?--what does it mean? |
33306 | What do you suppose Mr. Pelham will say when he hears that you have really made love to the cow- punching princess? |
33306 | What does Hoskins say? 33306 What has happened?" |
33306 | What have you been doing all these months that you have n''t dug it out for yourselves? |
33306 | What is finer than true friendship? |
33306 | What is it, Bourke? |
33306 | What is it, Bourke? |
33306 | What is it, child? 33306 What is it, old boy?" |
33306 | What is it? 33306 What is the Mexican doing here?" |
33306 | What shall I do with it? |
33306 | What station was that we just passed? |
33306 | What was it? |
33306 | What was that? |
33306 | What was the story? |
33306 | What will you do? |
33306 | What would you do, O wise virgin of the market- place? |
33306 | What you did n''t do to Carson and his gang was good and plenty, was n''t it, Breckenridge? |
33306 | What''s that? |
33306 | What''s wanted? |
33306 | What''s your notion, Loudon? |
33306 | What? 33306 Where is he?" |
33306 | Where? 33306 Whereabouts does this here back trail end up-- for us easy- marks, Cap''n Ballard?" |
33306 | Whereabouts is your quarry? |
33306 | Which is another way of saying that we have bored you until you are sleepy? |
33306 | Which means that you''re not going to stay here and drive the stone and concrete gangs yourself? |
33306 | Which way did the Mexican go? |
33306 | Which way was she running when you jumped, John?--forward or backward? |
33306 | Who is this Manuel? |
33306 | Who is your father? |
33306 | Who was the third? |
33306 | Whose guest is he? 33306 Why are you waiting? |
33306 | Why do n''t you take a start and grow some? |
33306 | Why not? |
33306 | Why should n''t I tell you all of it? |
33306 | Why should n''t the colonel want to be present at his own funeral? 33306 Why?" |
33306 | Will you do now what I begged you to do at first?--throw up this cursed job and go away? |
33306 | Will you help me tie it up? |
33306 | Will you so regard us? |
33306 | Will youh shot- up arm sanction a day''s travel, Mistuh Ballard? |
33306 | Wo n''t I? |
33306 | Wonder if I c''d knock a two- bagger with that hat o''his''n without mussin''his hair? |
33306 | Would a hungry little dog eat his supper, Mr. Ballard? 33306 Yes; how_ do_ you know?" |
33306 | Yet you have often thought of Braithwaite''s drowning, when you have been rounding that particular curve? 33306 You are come to take poor Mr. Macpherson''s place?" |
33306 | You are nearly through? |
33306 | You are not going to keep Mr. Bromley at the camp, are you? 33306 You are not leaving?" |
33306 | You are trying to give it to me, are n''t you? |
33306 | You are waiting to see me? |
33306 | You brought Miss Craigmiles here? 33306 You did keep it?" |
33306 | You found my note last evening-- when you were returning with Sheriff Beckwith? |
33306 | You give- a the h- order in this valley, señor? |
33306 | You have heard? |
33306 | You have n''t seen young Carson in the last hour or so, have you, Patsy? |
33306 | You still believe there is no hope of a compromise? |
33306 | You stumbled? |
33306 | You think your father will win his law- suit and so break the market? |
33306 | You wo n''t tell me that you are in love with Wingfield? |
33306 | You''ll be ready to quit for the day when we get in, wo n''t you? |
33306 | You''ll come up and see me? |
33306 | You''ll go? |
33306 | You''re forgetting Miss Elsa''s fishing party to the upper canyon, are n''t you? 33306 You''ve been in the country house, then?" |
33306 | You''ve seen something? |
33306 | You-- you do n''t believe it? 33306 Your deductions, Professor?" |
33306 | _ You said that to Dosia?_There was something like suppressed horror in the low- spoken query. |
33306 | *****"Are you quite sure it was n''t all a frightful dream?" |
33306 | All strangers, so far?" |
33306 | All the same, if it is not her father she is trying to shield, who, in the name of all that is good, can it be? |
33306 | All this is very wearisome to you, is n''t it?" |
33306 | Am I making it cleah to you, Mistuh Ballard?" |
33306 | Am I making it sufficiently plain?" |
33306 | Am I right?" |
33306 | Am I safe in assuming so much?" |
33306 | Am I still cleah?" |
33306 | Am I still in time to be in at the death?" |
33306 | And I have?" |
33306 | And did it have any connection with that phrase in President Pelham''s wire:"We need a fighting man"? |
33306 | And how about that arm? |
33306 | And may I call it my discovery?" |
33306 | And the shots?" |
33306 | And then to Blacklock:"Are you in it, too, Jerry?" |
33306 | And then to his hostess:"Are you willing, Miss Craigmiles?" |
33306 | And then, with a note of constraint in her voice that was quite new to him:"You are not obliged to go back to Elbow Canyon to- night, are you? |
33306 | And you are Colonel Craigmiles?" |
33306 | And, as the company''s chief engineer, you could doubtless get in on the''ground floor''that Mr. Pelham is always talking about, could n''t you?" |
33306 | And, by the way, that reminds me: neither of you two youngsters is responsible for the foundations of that dam; is n''t that the fact?" |
33306 | Are n''t you delighted to see us? |
33306 | Are the orders other for me?" |
33306 | Are there any of youh ditch camps at present in the riveh valley below heah?" |
33306 | Are you listening?" |
33306 | Are you obliged to go back to your camp to- night?" |
33306 | Are you picketed?" |
33306 | Are you sure there was no one hurt?" |
33306 | Ballard?" |
33306 | Ballard?" |
33306 | Ballard?" |
33306 | Ballard?" |
33306 | Ballard?" |
33306 | Ballard?" |
33306 | Ballard?--if a man might be asking?" |
33306 | Blacklock, here, has seen this woman; but I''d like to ask if either of you two have?" |
33306 | Bromley?" |
33306 | Bromley?" |
33306 | But what do you know about it?--if I may venture to ask?" |
33306 | But what was the mystery hinted at in Lassley''s telegram? |
33306 | But would the contractor''s men consent to fight the colonel''s battle? |
33306 | But you''ll be lenient with us, wo n''t you? |
33306 | By the way, have there been any more visitations since I went out on the line last Tuesday?" |
33306 | By the way, this is the room, is n''t it? |
33306 | By the way, what was the matter with him while we were eating breakfast? |
33306 | Can you do it?" |
33306 | Could there be anything more than coincidence in these fatalities?" |
33306 | D''ye see?" |
33306 | Did n''t I hear Mr. Pelham say that the watchword-- your watchword-- was to be''drive,''for every man, minute, and dollar there was in it?" |
33306 | Did n''t Mr. Lassley telegraph you not to go to Arcadia?" |
33306 | Did n''t you find him all the things I said he was-- and then some?" |
33306 | Did n''t you say something about being hopeful because I was aware of the existence of an America west of the Alleghanies?" |
33306 | Did some one tell me it was a fever?" |
33306 | Did you come aboard with that party at Omaha?" |
33306 | Did you embroider it for her? |
33306 | Did you have a hand in that?" |
33306 | Did you hear the sick baby?" |
33306 | Do I bring the gun here?" |
33306 | Do I know any of your sight- seers, besides Mrs. Van Bryck?" |
33306 | Do I make myself cleah?" |
33306 | Do n''t you believe it?" |
33306 | Do n''t you find it so?" |
33306 | Do n''t you see?" |
33306 | Do we hike out now?--right away?" |
33306 | Do you blame him so very much?" |
33306 | Do you know a little sand creek in the hogback called Dry Valley?" |
33306 | Do you know who made the attempt?" |
33306 | Do you see that black streak out there on the shale, just about at the path level? |
33306 | Do you think Mr. Wingfield really cares anything for me? |
33306 | Do you-- do you know how your father died, Breckenridge?" |
33306 | Does n''t he ever play for you?" |
33306 | Does none of these things move you?" |
33306 | Does that clear another of the horizons for you?" |
33306 | Does that clear the horizon for you?" |
33306 | Does that patch in the ceiling cover the hole?" |
33306 | Had any of them been seen in the vicinity of the outpost camp? |
33306 | Had n''t you suspected? |
33306 | Had you thought of that?" |
33306 | Has this emotional insanity you are talking about anything to do with the old cattle king''s objection to being syndicated out of existence?" |
33306 | Have either of you two imagination enough to help me out?" |
33306 | Have you arrived at that conclusion, also?" |
33306 | Have you ever seen any of it before?" |
33306 | Have you forgotten that to- day-- a few hours ago-- another attempt was made upon your life?" |
33306 | Have you fully made up your mind to leave me here while you go on down to the railroad? |
33306 | Have you lost him?" |
33306 | Have you really decided that it is quite safe to trust yourself in the camp of the enemy?" |
33306 | Have you seen anything to make you believe that these fellows have a tip from the big house in the upper valley?" |
33306 | He is som''where on da camp?" |
33306 | How are you coming on? |
33306 | How could they know whether we were friends or enemies?" |
33306 | How did you know? |
33306 | How do I know?" |
33306 | How far is it-- six miles, or thereabouts?" |
33306 | How long did you say the colonel had lived in Arcadia?" |
33306 | How long will it take us to get in?" |
33306 | How many drinks did you take in those two hours?" |
33306 | How the dickens did you manage to hear of it?" |
33306 | How''s Bromley? |
33306 | Huccome you to get lef'', Cap''n Boss?" |
33306 | I assume that he has a name, like other men?" |
33306 | I put it to you as man to man; would you have disappointed her?" |
33306 | I suppose it is n''t necessary to ask who tripped you?" |
33306 | I wonder if I can get Bromley?" |
33306 | I wonder if I could see him for a few minutes, before I go back to camp?" |
33306 | If not, who was the murderer?--and why was the colonel''s daughter so evidently determined to shield him? |
33306 | In Cuba?" |
33306 | Is he better?" |
33306 | Is it Mr. Wingfield now?" |
33306 | Is it because I''m only one of many? |
33306 | Is it true that the Colorado irrigation scheme has blotted out three of its field officers?" |
33306 | Is n''t it pathetic?" |
33306 | Is n''t it so?" |
33306 | Is n''t this the Denver car?" |
33306 | Is that all?" |
33306 | Is that the colonel''s country house up yonder in the middle of our reservoir- that- is- to- be?" |
33306 | Is the arm hurting like sin?" |
33306 | Is there annything I can do?" |
33306 | Is your anxiety-- the trouble you refuse to share with me-- any lighter?" |
33306 | Let me see; how many is that?" |
33306 | Macpherson?" |
33306 | May I come again to Castle''Cadia?" |
33306 | Must you go now? |
33306 | My resignation goes in to- morrow morning, and I take it yours will?" |
33306 | Nothing serious, I hope?" |
33306 | Now that is settled, will you take a little walk with me? |
33306 | Of course, you''ll get yourself recalled to New York at once?" |
33306 | Oh, for pity''s sake ca n''t you think of some way to stop him?" |
33306 | Or are you all Mrs. Van Bryck''s guests?" |
33306 | Or are you to figure as the consolation prize for his widow? |
33306 | Or is it your attitude toward all men?" |
33306 | Or, rather, what is at the bottom of it?" |
33306 | P.?" |
33306 | People will be eager to buy it-- won''t they?--with the work all done, and everything in readiness to tap the stream of sudden wealth?" |
33306 | Say; you do n''t happen to have an extra spark- plug about your clothes, either of you, do you? |
33306 | Shall I have Otto bring the car and drive you around to your camp?" |
33306 | Shall I run him off the riservation?" |
33306 | She leaned over the arm of the driving- seat and searched his eyes pleadingly:"Please tell me: how much did Mr. Wingfield find out?" |
33306 | Silence again for a little space; and then:"There is no doubt in your mind that he has hit upon the true solution of all the little mysteries?" |
33306 | Suppose you ask him?" |
33306 | Tell me frankly, is there any good reason why I should n''t?" |
33306 | Tell me, Elsa, dear: is your father always fully accountable for his actions?" |
33306 | Tell me: was Sanderson more than casually interested in the details of Braithwaite''s drowning? |
33306 | That means nothing to you-- does it also mean nothing that your life was imperilled within an hour of your arrival at your camp?" |
33306 | That''s simply ripping good stuff-- worlds of possibilities in a thing like that, do n''t you know? |
33306 | The vital question, under such abnormal conditions as those presenting themselves in your canyon, is, What kind of rock was it?" |
33306 | Then he asked the question for which Ballard was waiting:"How did Mr. Pelham take the new grief?" |
33306 | Then suddenly:"What brought you here-- so late?" |
33306 | Then, abruptly:"Loudon, who uses the path that goes up on our side of the canyon and over into the Castle''Cadia valley?" |
33306 | Then, lowering his voice again:"Is the boy trustworthy?" |
33306 | Then, remembering Bromley''s report of the empty ranch headquarters and corrals:"You think there is danger?" |
33306 | Then:"Will Mr. Pelham come out to the formal and triumphal opening of the Arcadian Irrigation District?" |
33306 | Then:"You''re going to walk?" |
33306 | There was a little space for action, but what could be done? |
33306 | They''ll probably shoot at you, but you wo n''t mind that, with six or eight feet of granite for a breastwork, will you, Jerry?" |
33306 | Want to dodge''em?" |
33306 | Was Macpherson''s death purely accidental?--or Braithwaite''s? |
33306 | Was it possible that the three violent deaths were not mere coincidences, after all? |
33306 | We drove it all right, though, did n''t we, Colonel? |
33306 | What about that?" |
33306 | What are we going to do about that undermined hill?" |
33306 | What could have induced her to substitute a summer in Colorado, travelling under Mrs. Van Bryck''s wing? |
33306 | What do you heah?" |
33306 | What do you say?" |
33306 | What do you want me to do?" |
33306 | What does he know?--more than we know?" |
33306 | What does it mean?" |
33306 | What has happened?" |
33306 | What has upset you so? |
33306 | What if he had overheard the talk in the office? |
33306 | What is the attraction over here?--a summer- resort hotel?" |
33306 | What is the other half, Breckenridge?" |
33306 | What is the reason, the only reason, why Colonel Craigmiles should resort to all these desperate expedients?" |
33306 | What made you lose your head?" |
33306 | What was it you said to me about''two sheer accidents and a commonplace tragedy''? |
33306 | What was it you told me once about the high plane of men- friendships? |
33306 | What was the motive behind the hurled stone which had so nearly bred a tragedy on his first evening at Elbow Canyon? |
33306 | What was the mystery so evidently enshrouding the tragedies at Elbow Canyon? |
33306 | What will they do to him?" |
33306 | What will you do with Hoskins?" |
33306 | What will you do with this po''scoundrel of mine, Mistuh Ballard?" |
33306 | What would the most peerless Arcadia be without its shepherdess? |
33306 | What''s next?" |
33306 | When is it to be?" |
33306 | Where is father?" |
33306 | Where is he?" |
33306 | Where is she now?" |
33306 | Where is your father now?" |
33306 | Who ever tries to make a record of after- dinner fictions? |
33306 | Why did n''t you say something?" |
33306 | Why had Elsa Craigmiles changed her mind so suddenly about spending the summer in Europe? |
33306 | Why had Manuel gone out of his way to stop at the mine? |
33306 | Why have n''t you had him arrested and tried and condemned, like any other common murderer?" |
33306 | Why is it? |
33306 | Why should he expect it? |
33306 | Why should he try to kill you one minute and move heaven and earth to save your life the next?" |
33306 | Why should there be a''gentlemen''s agreement''to exclude your father? |
33306 | Why? |
33306 | Why?" |
33306 | Will you pardon me if I say that it seems to have its compensation in the law of recurrences?" |
33306 | Will you permit me to suggest that it was taking rather a long chance?--your bringing him down here?" |
33306 | Will you send Otto in the car to see if there is anything we can do?" |
33306 | Will you tell Mr. Pelham about the rotten tooth-- to- night, I mean?" |
33306 | Wingfield?" |
33306 | Wingfield?" |
33306 | Wingfield?" |
33306 | Wingfield?" |
33306 | Wingfield?" |
33306 | Wo n''t you be merciful and try me again?" |
33306 | Wo n''t you go along?" |
33306 | Wo n''t you please tell me the worst, Breckenridge?" |
33306 | Would Blacklock be one of the three? |
33306 | Would it pass without its tragedy? |
33306 | Would n''t that jar you?" |
33306 | Would the nerve- shattering mysteries never be cleared away? |
33306 | Would you call that a joke?" |
33306 | Yet do you know you have never once gone back of your college days in speaking of yourself? |
33306 | Yet he was quite unprepared for her grave and frankly reproachful question:"Why are n''t you going to Cuba? |
33306 | You are quite sure you were followed, you and Mr. Ballard, on the day before the dynamiting of the canal?" |
33306 | You are sure it was the colonel who fired at me?" |
33306 | You are tarred a little with the superstitious stick, yourself, are you? |
33306 | You do n''t care to go to the foot of the pass with one of the trains, do you?" |
33306 | You have been waiting some time? |
33306 | You say Wingfield is recovering? |
33306 | You took their word for these little details?" |
33306 | You were saying----?" |
33306 | You will excuse me if I go at once? |
33306 | You''ve had the open door, first, last, and all the time, have n''t you?" |
33306 | Youh-- youh name is Ballard-- Breckenridge Ballard, is n''t it?" |
33306 | are you hit? |
33306 | do you hear that, Jerry?" |
33306 | or did she put in the little hemstitchings for me?" |
33306 | said Bigelow, breaking the silence in which they had been riding for the greater part of the three hours,"what''s this we are coming to?" |
33306 | she asked; adding:"Some time when you are fit?" |
33306 | what have I done?" |
33306 | will he never saw it off and let us get that stone set?" |
33306 | with all the three- sheet- poster evidence staring you in the face? |
37249 | ''Mirapolis''? |
37249 | A city?--in this reservoir bottom? 37249 Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
37249 | And Gomorrah? |
37249 | And about this Massingale affair-- you will not interfere again? |
37249 | And let him blackmail me? 37249 And still you wo n''t print this?" |
37249 | And the government? |
37249 | And the next minute? |
37249 | And the other? |
37249 | And the source could n''t possibly have become contaminated by the Cortwright germs? |
37249 | And the structure itself-- how high is it to be? |
37249 | And what started you off into the memory woods, particularly, to- night? |
37249 | And you are carrying that millstone? 37249 And you are trying to tell me that father made a hundred thousand dollars just in those few hours by buying and selling Mirapolis lots? |
37249 | And you have----? |
37249 | And you met him? 37249 And you-- you believed all this?" |
37249 | And your labor? |
37249 | Another seven? |
37249 | Anything else remarkable up your sleeve? |
37249 | Anything new? |
37249 | Are you never going to forget that senseless bit of twaddle? |
37249 | Are you sure? 37249 Are you-- are you_ plumb_ sure you can spare it?" |
37249 | Are you? |
37249 | As you were saying? |
37249 | Before Congress convenes, you mean? |
37249 | Believing that it was for the best interests of the railroad to come here? |
37249 | Brouillard, do you know what you are talking about? |
37249 | Brouillard,he grated huskily,"does this mean that you''re breaking with us, once for all?" |
37249 | But how? |
37249 | But now you think he is going to make his bluff good? |
37249 | But now,she queried--"now, I suppose, you have become reconciled?" |
37249 | But tell me, what would you do with your pot of rainbow gold-- if you should find it? |
37249 | But where is she now? |
37249 | But will you? 37249 But you did advise Mr. Ford to build the Extension?" |
37249 | But you have made the plans for this power plant, have n''t you? |
37249 | But you have the order? |
37249 | But your part in this horrible plot, Victor? |
37249 | Catching you, too, is it, Victor? |
37249 | Chief engineer, eh? 37249 Comparatively rich, you say?--and you washed this spoonful out of a single pan?" |
37249 | Curious that this particular fly should drop into your pot of ointment on your birthday, was n''t it? |
37249 | Did I? |
37249 | Did it agree with you? |
37249 | Did n''t I? 37249 Did n''t Smith know better than to take her down there at such a time as this?" |
37249 | Did you find out? |
37249 | Did you imagine that your workmen were any less human than other people? |
37249 | Did you sign those notes personally, or as president of the new company? |
37249 | Did you think we were going to cut the melon and hand you out a piece of the rind? 37249 Did you?--and before you had a stake in the game? |
37249 | Do n''t they? |
37249 | Do n''t you ever get beyond that? |
37249 | Do n''t you? 37249 Do you call_ that_ civilization?" |
37249 | Do you do it as other men do?--just to hear how it sounds? |
37249 | Do you know the reason why it was given? |
37249 | Do you know what I''m thinking about, Mr. Brouillard? 37249 Do you know, Brouillard, Hosford gets on my nerves, too? |
37249 | Do you mean to say that real farms with green things growing on them can be made out of that frightful desert we drove over yesterday afternoon? |
37249 | Do you really believe that? 37249 Do you think my daughter could walk it?" |
37249 | Do you want me to be frivolous or serious? |
37249 | Do you want me to say that I should have missed a great deal? 37249 Does he make that a command?" |
37249 | Does it date back to the handicap? 37249 Does n''t he want to make money?" |
37249 | Does the order cover more than the work on the dam? |
37249 | Does this formal notice that the waste- gates will be closed three weeks from to- morrow go as it stands? |
37249 | Even if it should give you another attack of the''seeing things''? |
37249 | Extenuating circumstances-- is that what you mean? 37249 For example?" |
37249 | Fuel for your power plant?--wood I take it? |
37249 | H''m,said the millionaire;"a cement plant, eh? |
37249 | Has it never occurred to you that she may be just a woman-- like other women? 37249 Has she told you so?" |
37249 | Have n''t you heard how the men of the desert camps kill each other for the chance to pick up a lady''s handkerchief? |
37249 | Have you been given to understand that this office is in any sense a tail to your Improvement Company''s kite? |
37249 | Have you heard the talk of the street? 37249 Have you seen Miss Massingale since noon?" |
37249 | He means to give you the casting vote? 37249 How about those notes in the bank? |
37249 | How are you, Mr. Massingale? 37249 How can any one predict that when Congress is not in session?" |
37249 | How can you know that? |
37249 | How can you tell? 37249 How did you know that I have been wanting to come up here once more before everything is changed?" |
37249 | How did you know? |
37249 | How do you know I gave him a hundred thousand dollars? |
37249 | How does that strike you? |
37249 | How is the line to- night, Sanford-- pretty clear? |
37249 | How straight is your tip, Harlan? |
37249 | How was that? |
37249 | How? |
37249 | Huh? |
37249 | I asked you who has been gossiping about me; not Grizzy? |
37249 | I knew, or thought I knew, that you were miles away, over in the Buckskin; and how could I call you? |
37249 | I suppose Harlan is getting ready to exploit the new sensation right? |
37249 | I want you to send a wire to Red Butte telling the smelter people that you will be glad to have them handle the''Little Susan''ore."And if I do? |
37249 | I wonder if you know how little I care? |
37249 | If it had succeeded? 37249 If they should happen to uncover a gold reef just now it would simplify matters immensely for Mirapolis, would n''t it? |
37249 | In less than a hundredth part of that time you''ll be at the top of the Reclamation- Service pay- roll-- won''t that help out? |
37249 | Is it a good reason? |
37249 | Is it business? |
37249 | Is it my fault that Massingale ca n''t pay his debts? |
37249 | Is it so? 37249 Is n''t that your notion?" |
37249 | Is she-- the one incomparable she-- worth it, Victor? |
37249 | Is that all you have to say? |
37249 | Is that all you have to say? |
37249 | Is that all? |
37249 | Is that the new name? |
37249 | It means a great deal to you, does n''t it? |
37249 | It''s about a hundred and twenty miles from this to El Gato, on the Grand Canyon, is n''t it, Mr. Brouillard? 37249 Let''s see,"said the newsman thoughtfully;"what is there worth taking that they did n''t take in the_ sauve qui peut_? |
37249 | May I break in with a bit of bad news? |
37249 | Meaning that he is too uncompromisingly honest to be one of us? 37249 Miss Massingale? |
37249 | My brother? |
37249 | No? |
37249 | Now for the business end of the deal-- why do n''t you sit down? |
37249 | Now tell me about the''Little Susan''; is the Blue- grass farm looming up comfortably on the eastern edge of things? |
37249 | Of course you do n''t take any stock in the rumor that the government will call a halt? |
37249 | Oh, yes; let me see; are they due to- day? |
37249 | On the dam, you mean? 37249 Ought I to know the gentleman?" |
37249 | Sell it? 37249 Shall I do what you would have me do, Amy? |
37249 | Since when? |
37249 | So you''re_ that_ kind of a fire- eater, are you? 37249 Still you say you do n''t want to scrap?" |
37249 | Supposing it was-- what''s the difference? 37249 Tell me one thing, Brouillard: what is your stake in the Massingale game? |
37249 | That brings on more talk-- about a thousand miles of it, does n''t it? |
37249 | That is your challenge, is it? |
37249 | That night, you mean? 37249 The Cortwright people want the road, do n''t they?" |
37249 | The Massingale mine, eh? |
37249 | The way to keep me from talking is to do it all yourself; what happened to me last night? |
37249 | The-- what? |
37249 | Then it is your opinion that if this were printed it would do the business? |
37249 | Then what happened? |
37249 | Then why are you so anxious to make old David a rich man at my expense? 37249 Then why did you do it? |
37249 | Then you have n''t heard? 37249 Then you will advise against the building of the Extension?" |
37249 | Under guard? |
37249 | We ca n''t stand for any more chaos than the gods have already doped out for us, can we? |
37249 | Well, did you succeed in placing the lady? |
37249 | Well, then, how about the choice between two evils? 37249 Well, what more do you want? |
37249 | Well, what of it? |
37249 | Well, why was n''t it fair? |
37249 | Well,said Grislow again,"what of it? |
37249 | Well,was the millionaire''s greeting,"you waited to be sent for, did n''t you?" |
37249 | Well? |
37249 | Well? |
37249 | Well? |
37249 | Well? |
37249 | Well? |
37249 | Well? |
37249 | What are the spellbinders doing, Grizzy? |
37249 | What are you going to do about it, Victor? |
37249 | What can you possibly know about the Assyrians? |
37249 | What can you, or any man who sets himself apart as you do, know about the troubles and besetments of ordinary people? 37249 What did I say? |
37249 | What did I say? |
37249 | What did he tell you? |
37249 | What do you know, Brouillard? |
37249 | What do you want this time? |
37249 | What does it mean to you-- to you, personally, and apart from the money your father might make out of it, Amy? |
37249 | What fact? |
37249 | What has all this bubble blowing got to do with the building of a temporary power dam and the setting up of a couple of cement kilns? |
37249 | What has given you the impression that you own me, Mr. Cortwright? 37249 What have I done to make you forget how to talk?" |
37249 | What is it? |
37249 | What is the active principle of your''sevens''--or have n''t you figured it out? |
37249 | What is the one thing you would n''t sell? |
37249 | What is your need? |
37249 | What is your tip? |
37249 | What makes you think that? |
37249 | What sort of a bug have you got in your cosmos this morning, Brouillard? 37249 What was the threat?" |
37249 | What would I do? 37249 What would you do with it? |
37249 | What''s come over you, lately, Victor? 37249 What''s doing, and who''s doing it?" |
37249 | What''s got into you? 37249 What''s that up there?" |
37249 | What''s the odds if you go to it and bring back the money? 37249 What? |
37249 | When have I ever bleated when I should have kept still? |
37249 | When is it? 37249 Where does the Honorable All- the- rest keep himself?" |
37249 | Where was it you saw them, Castner? |
37249 | Who is Lord Falkland? |
37249 | Who is your treasurer? |
37249 | Who said that? |
37249 | Why do n''t you drop in once in a while and give me the run of things? |
37249 | Why do you ask me? |
37249 | Why do you doubt it? 37249 Why do you want to know?" |
37249 | Why not? |
37249 | Why not? |
37249 | Why not? |
37249 | Why not? |
37249 | Why should n''t I say it? 37249 Why should n''t we take to- day, the only day we can be sure of having, and use and enjoy it while it is ours? |
37249 | Why should you doubt it? |
37249 | Why should you? 37249 Why the devil did n''t you fellows turn out?" |
37249 | Why''of course''? |
37249 | Will you come along? |
37249 | Will you go with me, Victor? 37249 Wo n''t you?" |
37249 | Yes? |
37249 | Yes? |
37249 | You are Amy-- and this is that other world you used to talk about, is n''t it? |
37249 | You are certain that your information did n''t originate right here in Mirapolis-- in Mr. Cortwright''s office, to locate it more exactly? |
37249 | You are ready to let go, are you? |
37249 | You are selling Mirapolis holdings short to- day, Garner? |
37249 | You could n''t conjure an omen out of that, could you? 37249 You did this deliberately, Victor, weighing all the consequences? |
37249 | You do n''t deny them? |
37249 | You have n''t been tumbling into the ditch with Leshington and Griffith and the rest of us and making love to the little sister, have you? |
37249 | You interested yourself? 37249 You mean that I have brought my cut finger to you?" |
37249 | You saw President Ford after I did; what did he say when he was over here? |
37249 | You say you saw the money in father''s hands; tell me, Victor, did you see him pay it into the bank? |
37249 | You say you''re goin''down to the Buckskin right away? 37249 You say your father has borrowed of the bank-- is Mr. Cortwright mixed up in the loan in any way?" |
37249 | You sent for me? |
37249 | You will marry her? |
37249 | You would n''t let pride-- a false pride-- stand in the way of her happiness? |
37249 | You''ll be up on the stagings yourself, wo n''t you? |
37249 | You''ll bet money h- on dat?--h- all de money you got? |
37249 | You''ll rob an old man first, and then call him a thief and set the sheriff on him, will you----? |
37249 | You''ll surely want to give me my instructions a little beforehand, wo n''t you? 37249 You''re Brillard, the government man, I take it?" |
37249 | You''re giving Garner a blank card to buy for your account? 37249 You''ve borrowed to meet these notes?" |
37249 | You''ve had it out with Cortwright? |
37249 | You, Victor? |
37249 | You? 37249 You?" |
37249 | You? |
37249 | Your business, maybe; it falls right in your line, does n''t it? |
37249 | Your father is n''t at home? |
37249 | Ze dinnare-- she was h- all right, M''sieu''Brouillard? |
37249 | _ He had the money?_ Where did he get it? |
37249 | _ He had the money?_ Where did he get it? |
37249 | Am I making it plain?" |
37249 | And he has spent ninety thousand dollars on the''Little Susan''in sixty days? |
37249 | And how will you get it here?" |
37249 | And the girl on horseback? |
37249 | And then, without any bush beating, the critical question was fired point- blank:"What becomes of all these fellows you are dropping? |
37249 | And then, without warning:"What if I should tell you that the railroad is not coming to the Niquoia, Amy?" |
37249 | And then:"Where is he now? |
37249 | And then:"You''re one of the Reclamation engineers? |
37249 | And your freedom-- how have you made a hundred thousand dollars in these few weeks? |
37249 | And yours is----?" |
37249 | And, besides, there''s Amy; you owe her something, do n''t you?--or do n''t you? |
37249 | Any truth in that?" |
37249 | Anybody seen him since?" |
37249 | Are n''t we just as far from a carbide shop as we are from the dynamo? |
37249 | Are you a silent partner in the''Little Susan''?" |
37249 | Are you all packed?" |
37249 | Are you asleep?" |
37249 | Are you catching on?" |
37249 | Are you going to be_ very_ busy this afternoon?" |
37249 | Are you going to marry the girl?" |
37249 | Are you going? |
37249 | Besides, did n''t Brouillard say I was to get an extension if I could?" |
37249 | Brought the cash, did you? |
37249 | Brouillard took another long minute at the office window before he said:"What would you do if you were in my place, Murray?" |
37249 | Brouillard was pointedly occupying himself at his desk, but he looked up long enough to say:"Whiskey, you mean?" |
37249 | Brouillard?" |
37249 | Brouillard?" |
37249 | Brouillard?" |
37249 | Brouillard?" |
37249 | But about this railroad fizzle; I do n''t relish the notion of having our little joke sprung on us before we''re ready to laugh, do you? |
37249 | But if you had a cut finger you would n''t go to a man in hell to get it tied up, would you?" |
37249 | But in this thing which you are proposing there are issues involved which----""You want time to think it over? |
37249 | But tell me, what are some of the things that may happen?" |
37249 | But what of it?" |
37249 | But why not, Mr. Brouillard? |
37249 | But you say the stock was to be released when the notes were paid-- what was to happen if they were not paid?" |
37249 | Buy corner lots in Niqoyastcà djeburg?" |
37249 | By the way, did you know that he_ is_ Lord Falkland now? |
37249 | Ca n''t you contrive to get word to me, some way-- after it is all over? |
37249 | Can we make the road pay if we bring it here? |
37249 | Can you give me my present figure?... |
37249 | Can you read minds and hearts as you do your maps and drawings? |
37249 | Can you remember the words?" |
37249 | Cortwright?" |
37249 | Cortwright?" |
37249 | Cortwright?" |
37249 | Cortwright?" |
37249 | Cortwright?" |
37249 | Did n''t I say just now that the town was crazy with excitement when I left to come up here?" |
37249 | Did n''t we agree that that money was poisoned? |
37249 | Did old David Massingale get out of J. Wesley''s clutches before the lightning struck?" |
37249 | Digging for information, I suppose?" |
37249 | Do I make it clear?" |
37249 | Do n''t you believe it?" |
37249 | Do n''t you know that it is only the very vainest people who say that?" |
37249 | Do n''t you know that?" |
37249 | Do you believe in Freiborg''s theory of the multiple personality? |
37249 | Do you get that, Murray?" |
37249 | Do you know that I once had the pleasure of introducing your good father to my bankers in Chicago? |
37249 | Do you know what that plank- faced organizer has got up his sleeve? |
37249 | Do you know what the men have named you? |
37249 | Do you know why? |
37249 | Do you remember that?" |
37249 | Do you wonder that I have lost the knack?" |
37249 | Does n''t it look good to you any more?" |
37249 | Does n''t your brother know that it is illegal to shoot a trout stream?" |
37249 | Facing them as I am obliged to face them, I am telling you-- but what''s the use? |
37249 | Father thinks too much of making money-- a great deal too much; and you----""Well?" |
37249 | First rate, I hope?" |
37249 | Fits like the glove on a pretty girl''s arm, does n''t it?" |
37249 | Ford?" |
37249 | Ford?" |
37249 | Garner, cancel my order to sell, will you? |
37249 | Grislow?" |
37249 | Had I ort to?" |
37249 | Had he not expressly declared that the object of the desert automobile trip was mere tourist curiosity? |
37249 | Has Gomorrah changed it?" |
37249 | Has anybody found out yet who touched off the gold- mounted sky- rocket?" |
37249 | Have n''t you any imagination?" |
37249 | Have n''t you met him? |
37249 | Have you ever been in the Blue- grass country?" |
37249 | Have you ever seen any vouchers for the money spent?" |
37249 | Have you got time to''put us next''?" |
37249 | He fights his way to his ends without caring much for the consequences to others; but tell me-- haven''t you been doing the same thing?" |
37249 | He will build the Extension if you advise it?" |
37249 | Honestly, now, Harlan, what do you think about it yourself? |
37249 | Hosford?" |
37249 | How about that?" |
37249 | How did you settle it finally?" |
37249 | How far is it up to where you are going to build your dam?" |
37249 | How is Steve this evening?" |
37249 | How is Steve?" |
37249 | How is the boy getting along? |
37249 | How is young Massingale getting along?" |
37249 | How long would it take you to get action in the Washington matter, do you think?" |
37249 | How much is it going to cost us to stay in?" |
37249 | How much is it going to cost us?" |
37249 | How much money have you got?" |
37249 | How much more time will you need to enable you to get returns from your shipments? |
37249 | How will that do?" |
37249 | How''m I goin''to secure you for this?" |
37249 | How_ can_ you be sure?" |
37249 | I thought you told me you merely went down and took a look-- didn''t butt in?" |
37249 | If there were time-- but you say this is the last day?" |
37249 | If you were the executive committee of the Pacific Southwestern, would you, or would you not, build the Extension? |
37249 | Is a man a mere bit of driftwood, to be tossed about in the froth of any wave that happens to come along, as Freiborg says he is?" |
37249 | Is it ever justifiable to do evil that good may come?" |
37249 | Is it true that you''ve had orders from Washington within the past few days to cut your force on the dam one half?" |
37249 | Is n''t it a part of your job?" |
37249 | Is n''t it worth something to realize that?" |
37249 | Is n''t that about the size of it?" |
37249 | Is n''t that so?" |
37249 | Is n''t there a possibility, just the least little shadow of a possibility, that I do n''t deserve to be punished?" |
37249 | Is that Boyer-- Niquoia National?... |
37249 | Is that all?" |
37249 | Is that asking too much?" |
37249 | Is that explicit enough?" |
37249 | Is that it?" |
37249 | Is that the plan?" |
37249 | Is that true?" |
37249 | Is there anything we can do?" |
37249 | Is your father here?" |
37249 | Is your telephone line up here in operation?" |
37249 | Is your work going to start up again? |
37249 | It figgered out this- a- way in the talk: they said, what''s the use o''takin''the money out o''one pocket and puttin''it into the other? |
37249 | It is to be war between us from this on?" |
37249 | Lack of money? |
37249 | Looks like I needed a janitor to look after my upper story, do n''t it? |
37249 | Massingale?" |
37249 | Massingale?" |
37249 | Massingale?" |
37249 | Mirapolis is already a city of frenzied knaves and dupes; did you realize that you were taking the chance of turning it into a wicked pandemonium? |
37249 | Must I be set down as hopelessly and irreclaimably frivolous just because I have chosen to laugh when possibly another woman might have cried?" |
37249 | Must you carry it?" |
37249 | Not more than that?... |
37249 | Now, then, does that stand the band- wagon upon its wheels again?" |
37249 | Oh, Victor, is it clean money?" |
37249 | Or is it going off for good?" |
37249 | Or shall I do what is best for you?" |
37249 | Shall I go over to the_ Spot- Light_ office and tell Harlan what I know?" |
37249 | Sixty days? |
37249 | Sommtime ve get de railroad,_ n''est- ce pas_, M''sieu''Brouillard? |
37249 | Suppose I should tell you that practically all of your bosses are in with us; what then?" |
37249 | THE TERROR 322 ILLUSTRATIONS"What would I do? |
37249 | Tell me, Mr. Brouillard, have you asked her to marry you?" |
37249 | That would be the reasonable conclusion, would n''t it?" |
37249 | The materials have all been tested, I suppose?" |
37249 | The only question is this: Is the one only and incomparable she worth the effort? |
37249 | The question is: Will they be rediscovered? |
37249 | The''Little Susan''has begun to pan out, has it? |
37249 | Then Miss Amy got word to you? |
37249 | Then he asked a question:"When is this little hell- on- earth going to be finally extinguished, Victor?" |
37249 | Then he put in the word of warning:"I suppose you''ll be dabbling a little in Mirapolis options after you get this note business out of the way? |
37249 | Then the inevitable question:"They''re sayin''on the street that you''re lettin''out half o''your men-- that so?" |
37249 | Then to Brouillard:"Say, young man; you do n''t mean to tell me that your father''s son needs a guardian, do you? |
37249 | Then, with a determined wrenching aside of the subject:"Are you going up on Chigringo this afternoon?" |
37249 | Then, with a purposeful changing of the subject:"Where is Miss Massingale? |
37249 | Then, with business- like directness:"What will you build it of?--concrete?" |
37249 | Then:"What has come over you lately, Brouillard? |
37249 | There were ideals in the beginning; you admitted it, did n''t you? |
37249 | There will be a called meeting of the directors here in this room to- morrow evening at eight o''clock, and----""Who calls it?" |
37249 | Think I do n''t remember how you were always ranting about the dignity of a man''s work and quoting Kipling at me? |
37249 | Think you could manage to get Ford on the wire and encourage him a little more?" |
37249 | To whom?" |
37249 | Want to come along?" |
37249 | Was n''t Massingale personally involved in some way?" |
37249 | Were the field- notes in when you left Washington?" |
37249 | What about a man''s natural limitations?" |
37249 | What about the dam? |
37249 | What are you calling it?" |
37249 | What are your orders from the department?" |
37249 | What are your two evils?" |
37249 | What became of the one hundred thousand dollars you gave old David Massingale?" |
37249 | What did he do with it-- gamble it?" |
37249 | What do we get out of life more than the day''s dole of-- well, of whatever we care most for? |
37249 | What do you mean? |
37249 | What do you say?" |
37249 | What do you say?" |
37249 | What do you think?" |
37249 | What happened when you were twenty- one-- or were you too busy just then chasing the elusive engineering degree to take notice?" |
37249 | What has your pay- roll been?" |
37249 | What have you been doing all these days when I have n''t been able to keep tab on you?" |
37249 | What have you done with old David?" |
37249 | What if I had gone about town contradicting the rumor?" |
37249 | What if the boomers were taking an unauthorized ell for their authorized inch? |
37249 | What is it the Good Book says? |
37249 | What is it?" |
37249 | What is it?" |
37249 | What shall I tell Miss Massingale when she asks about you?" |
37249 | What was the quarrel about, between him and Van Bruce?" |
37249 | What were you doing twenty minutes ago?" |
37249 | What will you do?--build your dam right here and take out your canal through the canyon? |
37249 | What''s the matter with our money? |
37249 | What''s up?" |
37249 | What''s your grief?" |
37249 | What''s your price?" |
37249 | What? |
37249 | When do those notes of yours fall due?" |
37249 | When will you want my expert opinion on your auxiliary dam?" |
37249 | Where did you say I''d find your wire office?" |
37249 | Where is she, and what was the message?" |
37249 | Where is your sense of humor?" |
37249 | Where will you get it? |
37249 | Where''s the boss?" |
37249 | Who has been telling you all these things about me?" |
37249 | Who says so? |
37249 | Why do n''t you care?" |
37249 | Why is Steve proposing to give this thing away? |
37249 | Why is n''t he working the bar himself?" |
37249 | Why should he go out of his way to quarrel with it on high moral grounds? |
37249 | Will you come down and see us off?" |
37249 | Will you saw it off with me that way?--until you''ve made the turn on the ore sales?" |
37249 | Wo n''t you ask me to sit down?" |
37249 | Would he go, if he might have the post of honor behind the pilot- wheel of the new sixty- horse, seven- passenger flyer? |
37249 | Would it go up, or down, with a sudden resumption of work on the dam?" |
37249 | Would n''t that be delightful?" |
37249 | Would n''t that be rather awkward?" |
37249 | Would n''t that set your teeth on edge?" |
37249 | Would the department place the men and the means instantly at his disposal? |
37249 | Would the miracle be wrought? |
37249 | Would you do it?" |
37249 | Would you give a hundred thousand dollars for the privilege of being able to say to her:''Come, dear, let''s go and get married''?" |
37249 | Would you mind telling me just why?" |
37249 | You ai n''t allowin''to use it on her, Victor?" |
37249 | You believe that, Amy? |
37249 | You do n''t need any kindergartner of a construction man to help you solve a little problem like that, do you?" |
37249 | You know that long, narrow sand- bar in the river just below the mouth of the upper canyon?" |
37249 | You say the men clear out when they are discharged-- isn''t that about what you''d do if you were out of a job?" |
37249 | You want something-- is it that damned Massingale business again? |
37249 | You want to keep your job, do n''t you?" |
37249 | You wo n''t forget that, will you?" |
37249 | You wo n''t turn us down on this, Brouillard?" |
37249 | You would say that''Bimi''would be just about the last thing in the world to put anybody to sleep, would n''t you? |
37249 | You''d put us out of business? |
37249 | You''ve eaten here before; what do you pay Bongras for a reasonably good dinner?" |
37249 | You''ve got some sort of an engineers''mess, I take it?" |
37249 | You_ are_ connected with it, are n''t you?" |
37249 | _ Savez?_"The chauffeur was adjusting something under the upturned bonnet of the touring- car and thus hiding his grin. |
37249 | am I really such a transparent egoist as all that?" |
37249 | do n''t you see? |
37249 | do you know that it is after ten o''clock?" |
37249 | in Chicago?" |
37249 | she panted,"is love a thing to be cheapened like that-- to be sinned for?" |
37249 | that touched you, did n''t it?" |
37249 | what in Sam Hill do you take us for?" |
37249 | would n''t that give you a fit of the creepies?--this far from civilization and a dynamo?" |
