2540She had a charming way of clasping her hands, and holding them against her bodice, while she said,''Oh, but-- really now?''
2540She was very earnest, and she had a pleading way of calling out:''O, but are n''t you teasing me?''
2540Still in a noncommittal mood, I asked:''Will she go with me to the back of the lime- kiln?''
2540Tear me from quiet, ravish me from night, And make a thankless present of thy light?
2540Then my Father sternly said:''Where is the accursed thing?''

2540This question,''What is he to be?''

12398And has she not forgiven me?--I am then in statu quo prius with her, am I not?
12398And how was this happy ending to be brought about?
12398And is she dead?--Indeed dead?
12398And let me ask what thou thinkest of it?

12398But are you, to whom the occasion is owing, entitled to rejoice in their distress?
12398But for thy HEART, Belford, who ever doubted the wickedness of that?
12398But if that happens to her which is likely to happen, wilt thou not tremble for what may befal the principal?
12398But is it not true, that those altercations are the foundation of the whole, and therefore a necessary part of the work?
12398But this was her answer;''I have my choice, who can wish for more?
12398But what is this, cousin Charlotte, said I, that is dearer to you than your life?
12398But what should I be the better for killing him?
12398But what title have I to call him to account, who intend not to have him?''
12398But why is death set in such shocking lights, when it is the universal lot?
12398But why, if such were his purpose, did he not let me know it before I left England?
12398But wilt thou write often, when I am gone?
12398But, with respect to the case put, how knew we, till the theft was committed, that the miser did actually set so romantic a value upon the treasure?
12398Can a wise young lady be easy under such censure?
12398Could I have been more than so at the end of what is called a happy life of twenty, or thirty, or forty years to come?
12398Could ever wilful hard- heartedness, the Colonel asks, be more severely punished?
12398Did not the lady herself once putt his very point home upon me?

12398Do I not pay for it now?
12398Do the surgeons actually give her over?
12398Do you think you are among those who know not how to make allowances?
12398Does it not look as if your principal motive to oblige was to obtain applause?
12398For am I not her husband?
12398For is she not mine?
12398For, I suppose, Jack, it is no joke: she is certainly and bonâ fide dead: I''n''t she?
12398For, as I shall make the worst figure in it myself, and have a right to treat myself as nobody else shall, who shall controul me?
12398Had she no repinings?
12398Had the dear child no heart burnings?
12398Have I not earned her dearly?--Is not d----n----n likely to be the purchase to me, though a happy eternity will be her''s?
12398Her sex, did I say?
12398How could she then forgive the wretch by whose premeditated villany she was entangled?
12398How often, with you, has impetuosity brought on abasement?
12398How then can I expect mercy any where else?
12398How, then, for your own honour, can we allow of your excuses?''
12398I came back to the bed- side when the surgeons had inspected the fracture; and asked them, If there were any expectation of her life?
12398I did not ask her, by whom reduced?
12398I must go down to this officious Peer-- Who the devil sent for him?
12398If I marry either a sordid or an imperious wretch, can I, do you think, live with him?
12398In half of any of these periods, what friends might not I have mourned for?
12398In such a case, my Cousin, where shall the evil stop?--And who shall avenge on you?--And who on your avenger?
12398Is not the man guilty of a high degree of injustice, who is more apt to give contradiction, than able to bear it?
12398Is not this Mr. Morden''s hand?
12398Justly, said she, does she call me so; for we had but one heart, but one soul, between us; and now my better half is torn from me-- What shall I do?
12398Let me consider, Lovelace-- Whose turn can be next?
12398Let me know, if the d----d mother be yet the subject of the devil''s own vengeance-- if the old wretch be dead or alive?
12398May I recover?
12398Meantime, continued I, tell me, with temper and calmness, why was you so desirous to see me?
12398Mrs. Carter asked, To what purpose, if the operation would not save her?
12398Now, Lovelace, let me know if the word grace can be read from my pen without a sneer from thee and thy associates?
12398O my Aunt, said Arabella, no more of that!--Who would have thought that the dear creature had been such a penitent?
12398Once more then let me execrate-- but now violence and passion again predominate!--And how can it be otherwise?
12398Pray, do you never travel thirty or forty miles?
12398Shall we suppose, that you sing but indifferently?
12398She, no doubt, is happy: but who shall forgive for a whole family, in all its branches made miserable for their lives?
12398Sir, who is good?
12398Such exalted generosity!--Why didst thou put into my craving hands the copy of her will?
12398Supposing this excellent person absent, who, my dear, if your example spread, shall sing after you?
12398The CHILD so much a woman, what must the WOMAN be?
12398The conquest did not pay trouble; and what was there in one woman more than another?
12398They that have seen him shall say, Where is he?
12398Thou art a pretty fellow for this: For how wouldst thou have saved her?
12398Thou talkest of a wife, Jack: What thinkest you of our Charlotte?
12398To him who had been the cause that thou wert cut off in the bloom of youth?''
12398To what purpose did the doctor write, if she was so near her end?--Why, as every body says, did he not send sooner?-- Or, Why at all?
12398Upon such despicable terms as these, think you that I could bear to live?
12398Upon the whole, Jack, had not the lady died, would there have been half so much said of it, as there is?
12398Was I the cause of her death?
12398Was he unable to work himself up to a resolution, till he knew me to be out of the kingdom?
12398Were she a man, do you think, Sir, she, at this time, would have your advice to take upon such a subject as that upon which you write?
12398What else signifies her forgiveness?
12398What great matters has she suffered, that grief should kill her thus?
12398What have Tourville and Mowbray to do, that they can not set out with you?
12398What mercy can I expect?
12398What methods didst thou take to save her?
12398What though I treated her like a villain?
12398What was the world to her, wringing her hands, now the child of her bosom, and of her heart, was no more?
12398Whence can this particularity arise?
12398Which is Mr. Belford''s?
12398Who can bear such reflections as these?
12398Who could forbear to do so?
12398Who knows but that those things, which will help to secure you in the way you are got into, may convert me?
12398Who, I?
12398Whose else can she be?
12398Why not?
12398Why sentest thou to me the posthumous letter?--What thou I was earnest to see the will?
12398Why should I oppress others, to gratify myself?
12398Why, he asks, did his mother bring him up to know no controul?
12398Why, then, should such cursed qualms take him?--Who would have thought he had been such poor blood?
12398Why, why did my mother bring me up to bear no controul?
12398Will amputation save her?
12398Will it avail you any thing?
12398Will those be an objection?
12398Will you not, dear Sir, favour us with your presence at this melancholy time?
12398Wilt thou then piece the thread where thou brokest it off?
12398Would she not have been mine had I not?
12398Would thy fond love his grace to her controul, And in these low abodes of sin and pain Her pure, exalted soul, Unjustly, for thy partial good detain?
12398Yet who but must pity the unhappy mother?
12398Yet why he should, I can not see: for if she is gone, she is gone; and who can help it?
12398You hate them; and they would be gainers by his death; rejoicers in your''s-- And have you not done mischief enough already?
12398and, being forgiven by her, am I not the chosen of her heart?
12398as if I had never offended?--Whose then can she be but mine?
12398or could I help it?
12398preferable to the talent of singing?
12398said she, and is it come to this?--O my poor Nancy!--How shall I be able to break the matter to my Nancy?
12398said she, did you not tell me I might recover?
12398to see him sit silent in a corner, when he has tired himself with his mock majesty, and with his argumentation,( Who so fond of arguing as he?)
12398what temptations from worldly prosperity might I not have encountered with?
12398what will become of me?--Yet tell me,( for the surgeons have told you the truth, no doubt,) tell me, shall I do well again?
12398when, shall I know a joyful hour?
12398who dare call me to account?
11889''Tis only, simply, a blessing I ask: a blessing to die with; not to lie with.--Do they know that?
11889''Tis true, by my soul!--Has she not hinted this to Miss Howe, do you think?
11889''What then, my dear and only friend, can I wish for but death?--And what, after all, is death?
11889*** Again they asked her if they should send any word to her lodgings?
11889-- And is this the cause of such a disgraceful insult upon me in the open streets?
11889----But am I to go with men only?
11889--And,''Whether they actually did go to town accordingly, and to Hampstead afterwards?''
11889--Besides, dost think I shall grudge to replace, to three times the value, what she disposes of?
11889--But is not the fact quite otherwise?
11889--Have you ever read Prior''s Alma, Mr. Hickman?
11889--May I not ask, if Miss Howe be here?
11889--This I leave to your inquiry-- for-- your--[shall I call the man---- your?]
11889--What say you to that, Sir- r?
11889A blessing for what, sister Clary?
11889A shower falling, as she spoke,''What,''said she, looking up,''do the elements weep for me?''
11889Again--''Whether she and one of her nieces Montague were to go to town, on an old chancery suit?''
11889Am I not worthy an answer, Miss Harlowe?
11889An honour worth a king''s ransom; and what I would give-- what would I not give?
11889And after all,( methinks thou asked,) art thou still resolved to repair, if reparation be put into thy power?
11889And art thou not about to reform!--Won''t this consent of minds between thee and the widow,[ what age is she, Jack?
11889And can not you say?
11889And do you think, if she was thus thrown into a profound sleep, that she is the only lady that was ever taken at such an advantage?
11889And have I half the obligation to her, that à � neas had to the Queen of Carthage?
11889And how do you, Mr. Lovelace?
11889And if no sake is dear enough to move her Harlowe- spirit in my favour, has she any title to the pity thou so pitifully art always bespeaking for her?
11889And is it fair to punish me for what is my misfortune, and not my fault?
11889And is she not answerable to God, to us, to you, and to all the world who knew her, for the abuse of such talents as she has abused?
11889And must I still wait the return of another messenger?
11889And never was bear so miserably baited as thy poor friend!--And for what?--why for the cruelty of Miss Harlowe: For have I committed any new offence?
11889And now, Lord, what is my hope?
11889And thou art a pretty fellow, art thou not?
11889And what must you be, to be able to look her in the face?
11889And what, returned he, shall be my inducement to take what I do at your hands?--Hay, Sir?
11889And when I came to that sentence, praying for my reformation, perhaps-- Is that there?
11889And whether that family would not exult over me, were I to marry their daughter, as if I dared not to do otherwise?
11889And who can be entitled to this power, if YOU are not?
11889And why should more be asked for me than I can partake of?
11889And why?
11889And will you be so good as to tell me, if I may have any hopes?
11889And wo n''t you take it?
11889And would not every one be able to assign the reason why Clarissa Harlowe chose solitude, and to sequester herself from the world?
11889And would not my conscious eye confess my fault, whether the eyes of others accused me or not?
11889And would you, my dear, in the like case[ whispering her] have yielded to entreaty-- would you have meant no more by the like exclamations?
11889And yet you care not, as I see, to leave the house.--And so, you wo n''t go down, Miss Harlowe?
11889Are you not-- are you not Mr. Belford, Sir?
11889At last, I say; for whose heart have I hitherto moved?
11889Ay, Mr. Hickman, that''s the question: I want to know if the lady says she had?
11889But can there be a stronger instance in point than what the unaccountable resentments of such a lady as Miss Clarissa Harlowe afford us?
11889But canst thou suppose that this admirable woman is not all, is not every thing with me?
11889But dost thou not observe, what a strange, what an uncommon openness of heart reigns in this lady?
11889But have you no things to send for from thence?
11889But how does she know what love, in its flaming ardour, will stimulate men to do?
11889But how much must I write for?
11889But in that, must I not now sit brooding over my past afflictions, and mourning my faults till the hour of my release?
11889But now, what is to be the end of this disgraceful violence?
11889But recovering herself, Very well, said she-- why should not all be of a piece?--Why should not my wretchedness be complete?
11889But say you, Sir, for I would not, methinks, have the wretch capable of this sordid baseness!--Say you, that he is innocent of this last wickedness?
11889But what have you farther heard?
11889But what thinkest thou is the second request she had to make to me?
11889But who can supplant her?
11889But who would spare so very absurd a wrong- head, as should bestow tinsel to make his deformity the more conspicuous?
11889But why run I into length to such a poor thing?
11889But why so?
11889But why, said I, out of danger?--When can this be justly said of creatures, who hold by so uncertain a tenure?
11889But you say there is a third thing you blame the lady for: May I ask what that is?
11889But, Sir, had not the lady something given her to make her sleep?
11889But, Sir, if there be any truth in the story, what is he?
11889But, after all, it would be very whimsical, would it not, if all my plots and contrivances should end in wedlock?
11889But, after your letter, what can be said?
11889But, as you say, whom has it moved, that you wished to move?
11889But, dear Madam, why wo n''t you send to your lodgings?
11889But, in the letter you have, does she, without reserve, express her contrition?
11889But, was that the case?
11889Can I help her implacable spirit?
11889Can I vow duty to one so wicked, and hazard my salvation by joining myself to so great a profligate, now I know him to be so?
11889Can it be?
11889Can nobody, joined in another gentleman, be applied to, who will see that so fine a creature is not ill used?
11889Can she be any man''s but mine?
11889Can there be any atonement for her crime?
11889Can they by it purchase a sponge that will wipe out from the year the past fatal four months of my life?
11889Canst thou not form some scheme to come at the copies of these letters, or the substance of them at least, and of that of her other correspondencies?
11889Charlotte asked if I did not still seem inclinable to do the lady justice, if she would accept of me?
11889Cot- so, Sir, I know you are deemed to be a man of wit: but may I not ask if these things sit not too light upon you?
11889Could I ever have thought that my doting- piece, as every one called you, would have done thus?
11889Dear Miss Lloyd, said he, with an air,( taking her hand as he quitted my mother''s,) tell me, tell me, is Miss Arabella Harlowe here?
11889Did ever comedy end more happily than this long trial?
11889Did the two ladies tell you who the gentleman was?--Or, did they say any more on the subject?
11889Do you come hither to persuade me to hate prudery, as you call it, as much as you do?
11889Do you flatter me, Sir?
11889Do you think you are to stay here as long as you live?
11889Do you use spectacles, Mr. Hickman?
11889Does this not show, that revenge has very little sway in her mind; though she can retain so much proper resentment?
11889Dost think she is not a little touched at times?
11889Excuse me, Sir; but is it likely, that he who makes so free with his GOD, will scruple any thing that may serve his turn with his fellow creature?
11889For who is it that would not give these two admirable persons to each other, were not his morals an objection?
11889Had she any money about her?
11889Has she in it no reflecting hints?
11889Have you heard of him?
11889Have you seen it, Sir?
11889He then turned to my mother, resolved to be even with her too: Where, good Madam, could Miss Howe get all this spirit?
11889Her late husband could not stand in the matrimonial contention of Who should?
11889Hickman!--Who can account for the workings and ways of a passionate and offended woman?
11889His whole broad face lifted up at me: Spectacles!--What makes you ask me such a question?
11889How came it over with you?
11889How did she like the people of the house?
11889How is it possible to imagine, that a woman, who has all these consolations to reflect upon, will die of a broken heart?
11889I am surprised, Sir!----Then, after all, you do n''t think of marrying Miss Harlowe!----After the hard usage---- What hard usage, Mr. Hickman?
11889I asked, if they thought the Harlowes deserved any consideration from me?
11889I hope, Mr. Hickman, nobody questions mine neither?
11889I pity him at my heart; but can do him no good.--What consolation can I give him, either from his past life, or from his future prospects?
11889I proceeded-- Have you no commission to employ me in; deserted as you are by all your friends; among strangers, though I doubt not, worthy people?
11889I think your name is Belford?
11889If she would give herself these airs in his life- time, what would she attempt to do after his death?
11889Indeed, I wish they had thought fit to take other measures with me: But who shall judge for them?
11889Is it not better that you make it up?
11889Is it not enough to be despised and rejected?
11889Is it possible she can do herself, her family, her friends, so much justice any other way, as by marrying me?
11889Is not my condition greatly mended?
11889Is your name Clarissa Harlowe, Madam?
11889It seems she was at first displeased; yet withdrew her objection: but, after a pause, asked them, What she should do?
11889Ladies may persuade themselves to any thing: but how can she answer for what other men would or would not have done in the same circumstances?
11889Lady S.| Ay, Sir, what say you to this?
11889Let me know what you have heard, Mr. Hickman?
11889Lord M. What say you, Sir, to this?
11889Miss D''Oily, upon his complimenting her, among a knot of ladies, asked him, in their hearing, how Miss Clarissa Harlowe did?
11889Miss SALLY ANDERSON,[ You have heard of her, no doubt?]
11889More than is absolutely necessary for my own peace?
11889Moreover, has she it not in her power to disappoint, as much as she has been disappointed?
11889My Lord told me, that he believed in his conscience there was not a viler fellow upon God''s earth than me.--What signifies mincing the matter?
11889My sister''s letter, communicating this grace, is a severe one: but as she writes to me as from every body, how could I expect it to be otherwise?
11889O wretches; what a sex is your''s!--Have you all one dialect?
11889Only, as these consequences follow one another so closely, while they are new, how can I help being anew affected?
11889Or will she be here?
11889Pray read on, my Lord-- I told you how you would all admire her----or, shall I read?
11889Prison, friend!--What dost thou call thy house?
11889Prisoner, Sirs!--What-- How-- Why-- What have I done?
11889She asked how long it would be before they returned?
11889She asked if Mabell should attend her, till it were seen what her friends would do for her in discharge of the debt?
11889She asked if they knew Mr. Lovelace?
11889She asked, what was meant by this usage of her?
11889She seems to be a person of condition; and, ill as she is, a very fine woman.----A single lady, I presume?
11889She then spied thy villain-- O thou wretch, said she, where is thy vile master?--Am I again to be his prisoner?
11889Should I not have had a bill delivered me?
11889Should there not?
11889Should you like to be at liberty?
11889The divine Clarissa, Lovelace,--reduced to rejoice for a cup of cold water!--By whom reduced?
11889The latter placing a confidence, the former none, in her man?--Then, whom else have I robbed?
11889The matter now!----Why Lady Betty has two letters from Miss Harlowe, which have told us what''s the matter----Are all women alike with you?
11889Their antiquity always made me reverence them: And how was it possible that thou couldest not, for that reason, if for no other, give them a perusal?
11889Then there are broad freedoms( shall I call them?)
11889Then turning to the officer, Mr. Rowland I think your name is?
11889Then who can write of good persons, and of good subjects, and be capable of admiring them, and not be made serious for the time?
11889Then, if it were, Mr. Hickman, you think she would?
11889There is a widow who lodges in it[ have I not said so formerly?]
11889There, Jack!--Wilt thou, or wilt thou not, take this for a letter?
11889This looks like conscience; do n''t it, Belford?
11889This will save thy word; and, as to mine, can she think worse of me than she does at present?
11889Thou toldest me, that my punishments were but beginning-- Canst thou, O fatal prognosticator, cans thou tell me, where they will end?
11889Unthinking eye- governed creatures!--Would not a little reflection teach us, that a man of merit must be a man of modesty, because a diffident one?
11889Was not her sin committed equally against warning and the light of her own knowledge?
11889Was she not a prisoner?
11889Was that the case?
11889Was the Doctor my friend?
11889We are told he would be glad to marry you: But why, then, did he abandon you?
11889Well, Madam, said I, with as much philosophy as I could assume; and may I ask-- Pray, what was your Ladyship''s answer?
11889Well, Madam; and pray, may I be favoured with the lady''s other letter?
11889Well, Sir, and I suppose what you have to charge me with is, that I was desirous to have all that, without marriage?
11889Well, Sir, and you have no objections to marriage, I presume, as the condition of that reconciliation?
11889Well, but after all, what need of her history to these women?
11889Well, but, Miss Harlowe, cried Sally, do you think these forlorn airs pretty?
11889Were it but in kindness to the people?
11889Were they civil to her?
11889What a punishment should this come out to be, upon myself too, that all this while I have been plundering my own treasury?
11889What a shame to talk at this rate!--Did the lady set up a contention with you?
11889What child could die in peace under a parent''s curse?
11889What could I have done with her in any other place?
11889What do you take our opinion of happiness to be?
11889What friends has the lady?
11889What has the lady said?
11889What have I to do with the world?
11889What heart, thinkest thou, can I have to write, when I have lost the only subject worth writing upon?
11889What is it she scruples, Mr. Hickman?
11889What is the light, what the air, what the town, what the country, what''s any thing, without thee?
11889What is the sum?
11889What once a woman hopes, in love matters, she always hopes, while there is room for hope: And are we not both single?
11889What reasons have you to fear this, Sir?
11889What signifies what the potations were, when the same end was in view?
11889What, Sir, said she, can I do?
11889What, pray, have you farther heard?
11889When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise?
11889When will the night be gone?
11889Where is that?
11889Wherefore is light given to her that is in misery; and life unto the bitter in soul?
11889Who at this instant, ill as she is, not only encourages, but, in a manner, makes court to one of the most odious dogs that ever was seen?
11889Who can be admitted to a place in it after Miss Clarissa Harlowe?
11889Who does?
11889Who ever said an anchoret was poor?
11889Who longeth for death; but it cometh not; and diggeth for it more than for hid treasures?
11889Who will ridicule a personal imperfection in one that seems conscious, that it is an imperfection?
11889Whom else have I injured?
11889Why is light given to one whose way is hid; and whom God hath hedged in?
11889Why may not handsome fellows, thought I, like to be looked at, as well as handsome wenches?
11889Why now, Cousin Charlotte, chucking her under the chin, would you have me tell you all that has passed between the lady and me?
11889Why then should it not be the pious Lovelace, as well as the pious à � neas?
11889Why then, they asked, would she not write to her friends, to pay Mrs. Sinclair''s demand?
11889Why these double locks and bolts all on the outside, none on the in?
11889Why these iron- barred windows, then?
11889Why wo n''t you send to your lodgings for linen, at least?
11889Why, indeed, the people did not prove so good as they should be.--What farther have you heard?
11889Why, you do n''t think of tarrying here always?
11889Will I be any woman''s but her''s?
11889Will Miss Howe permit me to explain myself in person to her, Mr. Hickman?
11889Will not Mrs. Sinclair, proceeded she, think my clothes a security, till they can be sold?
11889Will this, Mr. Hickman, answer any part of the intention of this visit?
11889Will you give me leave, my dear, to close this subject with one remark?
11889Will you not write to any of your friends?
11889Will you then, Sir, compel me to be beholden to you?
11889Wo n''t it strike out an intimacy between ye, that may enable thee to gratify me in this particular?
11889Words are wind; but deeds are mind: What signifies your cursed quibbling, Bob?--Say plainly, if she will have you, will you have her?
11889Would I not repair the evils I have made her suffer?''
11889Would I pretend to say, I would now marry the lady, if she would have me?
11889Would not the look of every creature, who beheld me, appear as a reproach to me?
11889Would she accept of any money?
11889Would the pious à � neas, thinkest thou, have done such a piece of justice by Dido, had she lived?
11889Would you have me and Miss Horton dine in this filthy bed- room?
11889Yes, yes, indeed, ready to sink, my name was Clarissa Harlowe:--but it is now Wretchedness!----Lord be merciful to me, what is to come next?
11889Yet do not honest protestants pronounce her pious too?--And call her particularly their Queen?
11889Yet to forbid you to love the dear naughty creature, who can?
11889You amaze me, Miss Martin!--What language do you talk in?--Bilk my lodgings?--What is that?
11889You say her heart is half- broken: Is it to be wondered at?
11889You see, Mr. Hickman, something of me.--Do you think I am in jest, or in earnest?
11889You will allow, that a very faulty person may see his errors; and when he does, and owns them, and repents, should he not be treated mercifully?
11889You would therefore heighten their severity, and make yourself enemies besides, if you were to come to me-- Don''t you see you would?
11889Zounds, Jack, what shall I do now?
11889and could the cursed devils of her own sex, who visited this suffering angel, see her, and leave her, in so d----d a nook?
11889and do they know that their unkindness will perhaps shorten my date; so that their favour, if ever they intend to grant it, may come too late?
11889and how much reason have I to say, If I justify myself, mine own heart shall condemn me: if I say I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse?''
11889and to refuse admittance to those I like not?
11889and would I not have re- instated myself in her favour upon her own terms, if I could?
11889and,''Whether they brought to town from thence the young creature whom they visited?''
11889can you truly say that he is?
11889for can they by their pity restore to me my lost reputation?
11889for so long a time as you were at Mrs. Sinclair''s?
11889had she those tricks already?
11889men, what mean you?
11889of encouraging another lover?
11889to engage to transcribe for her some parts of my letters written to thee in confidence?
11889was it not, my dear?
11889what a fine time of it would the heads of families have?
11889what would become of the peace of the world, if all women should take it into their heads to follow her example?
11889why didst thou not urge her to explain what she once hoped?
11889why push I so weak an adversary?
11889with what indifference shall I look upon all the assembly at the Colonel''s, my beloved in my ideal eye, and engrossing my whole heart?
2084And are you still as fond of music as ever, Mr Pontifex?
2084And do n''t you like Beethoven?
2084And how is So- and- so?
2084And now let me ask you what answer you have made to this question hitherto? 2084 And pray, where do you consider modern music to begin?"
2084And what do you want, Alice?
2084And what shall it be to drink?
2084And what you think of it?
2084And what,resumed Pryer,"does all this point to?
2084And wo n''t you come too?
2084And you do not find this letter,said I,"affect the conclusion which you have just told me you have come to concerning your present plans?"
2084And you have told your governess about this?
2084Are you quite sure that you have not made any mistake in all this?
2084But how-- if the testimony of the Bible fails?
2084But surely you believe the Bible when it tells you of such things as that Christ died and rose from the dead? 2084 By faith in what, then,"asked Ernest of himself,"shall a just man endeavour to live at this present time?"
2084CAN''T I?
2084Can anything,''said the publisher,"be conceived more impracticable and imprudent?"
2084Could you like,she wrote to him not long ago,"the thoughts of a little sea change here?
2084Do n''t you love the smell of grease about the engine of a Channel steamer? 2084 Do you, or do you not believe that you will one day stand before the Judgement Seat of Christ?
2084Does he write comedy?
2084Goodness gracious,I exclaimed,"why did n''t we sport the oak?
2084Have you considered your prospects on leaving prison? 2084 Have you never really been near us for all these years?
2084How are my father and mother?
2084How can she know how much we think of our darling?
2084How in the name of reason can I be asked to eat a mutton chop?
2084How,everyone asked,"did they manage to live?"
2084I do n''t like long engagements, Mr Allaby, do you?
2084Is n''t that rather dreadful?--Don''t you think you rather--she was going to have added,"ought to?"
2084It may be said that the truth of these statements has been denied, but what, let me ask you, has become of the questioners? 2084 John,"said my hero, gasping for breath,"are you sure of what you say-- are you quite sure you really married her?"
2084Lor''now,said she,"has he really?
2084Mrs Skinner,he exclaimed jauntily,"what are those mysterious- looking objects surrounded by potatoes?"
2084My dear father,I answered,"what did he do?
2084Of course he would buy Joey a living, and make large presents yearly to his sister-- was there anything else? 2084 Oh, Master Ernest,"said Susan,"why did you not come back when your poor papa and mamma wanted you?
2084Papa,said Ernest, after we had left the house,"Why did n''t Mrs Heaton whip Jack when he trod on the egg?"
2084Perhaps; but is it not Tennyson who has said:''''Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have lost at all''?
2084Pontifex,said Dr Skinner, who had fallen upon him in hall one day like a moral landslip, before he had time to escape,"do you never laugh?
2084Shall I cut it out?
2084Shall it be brandy and water? 2084 Then do n''t you like them?"
2084There, Ernest, do you hear that? 2084 Tum,"said Ernest, at once;"is that better?"
2084Well now,she exclaimed,"dear, dear me, and is that manuscript?
2084What can it matter to me,he says,"whether people read my books or not?
2084What can there be in common between Theobald and his parishioners?
2084What care I,said he to me one day,"about being what they call a gentleman?"
2084What do you mean?
2084What has being a gentleman ever done for me except make me less able to prey and more easy to be preyed upon? 2084 What is this horrid Government going to do with Ireland?
2084What will you take for supper, Dr Skinner?
2084Why not take a little shop yourself?
2084Why so?
2084Why, Ellen,said he,"what nonsense you talk; you have n''t been in prison, have you?"
2084Why, my dear fellow, can you really be ignorant? 2084 Will being a gentleman,"he said,"bring me money at the last, and will anything bring me as much peace at the last as money will?
2084Writes for the stage, does he?
2084''When only would he leave his position?
2084A legal right, yes, but had he a moral right?
2084Alethea smiled and said,"I must not say anything to that, must I?"
2084All the boys were fond of her, and was he, Ernest, to tell tales about her?
2084And how should he best persuade his fellow- countrymen to leave off believing in this supernatural element?
2084And mamma held me out at arm''s length and said,''Is he Mr Pontifex''s child, Mrs Burne, or is he mine?''
2084And what is instinct?
2084Are they in reality anything else than literary Struldbrugs?
2084As for not being able to afford marriage, how did poor people do?
2084Besides why should I?
2084Besides, had she not diverted his attention from herself to his approaching dinner?
2084Besides, where were these poor girls to go?
2084Besides, who but a prig would set himself high aims, or make high resolves at all?
2084But if so, what ground was there on which a man might rest the sole of his foot and tread in reasonable safety?
2084But put this on one side; if the man were to be violent, what should he do?
2084But tell me how is my mother?"
2084But what good could he have done if he had?
2084But what was the meaning of the words''pregnant with serious consequences to yourself''?
2084But what were the feelings of Theobald and Christina when the village was passed and they were rolling quietly by the fir plantation?
2084But who can love any man whose liver is out of order?
2084But why had they not treasured up the water after it was used?
2084But would Christ have fled?
2084Can a man who died thus be said to have died at all?
2084Can anyone do much for anyone else unless by making a will in his favour and dying then and there?
2084Could Giotto or Filippo Lippi, think you, have got a picture into the Exhibition?
2084Could any advantage be meaner than the one which Ernest had taken?
2084Could any amount of immorality have placed him in a much worse one?
2084Could anything be more idolatrous?
2084Could he not turn his having lost all into an opportunity?
2084Could it be for any other reason than that he did not want to see it, and if so was he not a traitor to the cause of truth?
2084Could not God do anything He liked, and had He not in His own inspired Book told us that He had done this?
2084Damn you, Gelstrap, how dare you be so infernally careless as to leave that hamper littering about the cellar?"
2084Day after day went by, and what was he doing?
2084Did he get an answer?
2084Did not a good wife rather help matters than not?
2084Did the other boys do so?
2084Did there lurk a threat under these words-- though it was impossible to lay hold of it or of them?
2084Did you ever meet one of them, or do you find any of their books securing the respectful attention of those competent to judge concerning them?
2084Do we see them or hear of them?
2084Do you always look so preternaturally grave?"
2084Do you approve of these Wesleyans?
2084Do you think so?
2084Do you, or do you not believe that you will have to give an account for every idle word that you have ever spoken?
2084During this same absence what had Mrs Goodhew and old Miss Wright taken to doing but turning towards the east while repeating the Belief?
2084Ernest felt that his visits, so far from comforting Mr Brookes, made him fear death more and more, but how could he help it?
2084Ernest was annoyed and surprised, for had not his father and mother been wanting him to be more religious all his life?
2084Granted, but what is this if it is not Christ?
2084Had he not been afterwards Senior Wrangler, First Chancellor''s Medallist and I do not know how many more things besides?
2084Had he not taken I do n''t know how many University Scholarships in his freshman''s year?
2084Had not Christina less than two hours ago promised solemnly to honour and obey him, and was she turning restive over such a trifle as this?
2084Have they been able to hold what little ground they made during the supineness of the last century?
2084Have you anything more to say?"
2084Have you, gentle reader, ever loved at first sight?
2084Having settled then that he was to tell a lie, what lie should he tell?
2084He asked himself, what were they?
2084He believes her; he has a natural tendency to believe everything that is told him, and who should know the facts of the case better than his wife?
2084He could draw a little, but could he to save his life have got a picture into the Royal Academy exhibition?
2084He had been saved from the Church-- so as by fire, but still saved-- but what could now save him from his marriage?
2084He had got the lad-- a pudding- headed fellow-- by the ear and was saying,"What?
2084He had not gone outside Mrs Jupp''s street door, and yet what had been the result?
2084He has done his best, but what does a fish''s best come to when the fish is out of water?
2084He winced, but said"No, not if it helps you to tell your story: but do n''t you think it is too long?"
2084How can a sheep dog work a flock of sheep unless he can bite occasionally as well as bark?
2084How can any boy fail to feel an ecstasy of pleasure on first finding himself in rooms which he knows for the next few years are to be his castle?
2084How can he find out his strength or weakness otherwise?
2084How can we get this without express training?
2084How could he get the school shop- keepers into trouble by owning that they let some of the boys go on tick with them?
2084How could he hope ever to grow up to be as good and wise as they, or even tolerably good and wise?
2084How did their household differ from that of any other clergyman of the better sort from one end of England to the other?
2084How far, in fact, did admiration for the orthodox tragedians take that place among the Athenians which going to church does among ourselves?
2084How had he come to get into debt?
2084How if, as soon as Ernest came in, the tailor were to become violent and abusive?
2084How is she ever to get safe back to Clapham Junction?
2084How long again is the esteem and sympathy of friends likely to survive ruin?
2084How many times did he call upon his father?
2084How was it possible that these things could be taught too early?
2084How was it that all the clever people of Cambridge had never put him up to this simple rejoinder?
2084How, again, would he take the news of his son''s good fortune?
2084How, indeed, is it likely to come unless to those who either are born with interest, or who marry in order to get it?
2084I expect you have n''t forgotten that day, have you?"
2084I said:"But who will listen?
2084I should have given him more pocket- money if I had not known this-- but what is the good of giving him pocket- money?
2084If the priest is not as much a healer and director of men''s souls as a physician is of their bodies, what is he?
2084If they did happen, is it reasonable to suppose that you will make yourselves and others more happy by one course of conduct or by another?
2084In an evil moment he had mentioned Towneley''s name at Battersby, and now what was the result?
2084In what respect had they differed from their neighbours?
2084Is it about love?"
2084Is it moral for a man to have brought such things upon himself?
2084Is it not generous of him?
2084Is n''t there a lot of hope in it?"
2084Is not this enough?
2084Is there a single teacher or preacher in this great University who has not examined what these men had to say, and found it naught?
2084Is there one of your fathers or mothers or friends who does not see through them?
2084It is high time you learned to say''come,''why, Joey can say''come,''ca n''t you, Joey?"
2084Marry beneath her and be considered a disgrace to her family?
2084Master Ernest, whatever can you be meaning?"
2084Might he not even yet do so to- morrow morning if he were so minded?
2084Might he not have apprenticed both his sons to greengrocers?
2084Might he not, if he too sought the strength of the Lord, find, like St Paul, that it was perfected in weakness?
2084Might not his opportunity be close upon him if he looked carefully enough at his immediate surroundings?
2084Must not people take their chances in this world?
2084Nevertheless, what right had Theobald to complain?
2084No doubt, but how-- considering how stupid, idle, ignorant, self- indulgent, and physically puny he was?
2084Now, Ernest, be pleased to tell me whether this appalling story is true or false?"
2084Of course they must be, for if they had not been, would they not have been bound to warn all who had anything to do with them of their deficiencies?
2084Oh, why, why, why, could not people be born into the world as grown- up persons?
2084Or were not they rather compelling him to keep out-- outside their doors at any rate?
2084Presently Ernest said,"May we give you back this"( showing the halfpenny)"and not give you back this and this?"
2084Reader, did you ever have an income at best none too large, which died with you all except 200 pounds a year?
2084Remain at home and become an old maid and be laughed at?
2084Run away?
2084She smiled and said demurely,"Have they not Moses and the prophets?
2084Should he have had the courage to break away even from his present curacy?
2084Should he say he had been robbed?
2084So that is really manuscript?"
2084Study, to do him justice, he had never really liked, and what inducement was there for him to study at Battersby?
2084Surely you believe this?"
2084Take the cuckoo again-- is there any bird which we like better?"
2084Then came an even worse reflection; how if he had fallen among material thieves as well as spiritual ones?
2084Then came the question-- horrid thought!--as to who was the partner of Ellen''s guilt?
2084Then how could he be himself wrong in trying to act up to the faith that he and Towneley held in common?
2084Then, gathering strength, he said in a low voice:"Mother,"( it was the first time he had called her anything but"mamma"?)
2084Then, when all had sat down, Mr Hawke addressed them, speaking without notes and taking for his text the words,"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
2084They had heard nothing but what they had been hearing all their lives; how was it, then, that they were so dumbfoundered by it?
2084This was all very fine, but what was Ernest to do?
2084To whom did he call?
2084To whom had he owed money at any time?
2084Was George Pontifex one of Fortune''s favoured nurslings or not?
2084Was he doing this?
2084Was he not a Christian?
2084Was he not fallen himself?
2084Was he not head- master of Roughborough School?
2084Was he really doing everything that could be expected of him?
2084Was he to drive them from house to house till they had no place to lie in?
2084Was it a prudent thing to attempt so much?
2084Was it for this that he had been generous enough to offer to provide Ernest with decent clothes in which to come and visit his mother''s death- bed?
2084Was it for this that when Christina had offered to let him off, he had stuck to his engagement?
2084Was it not then taking rather a mean advantage of the Apostle to stand on his not having actually forbidden it?
2084Was it possible that she might not be going to henpeck him after all?
2084Was it, could it be, her own son, her darling Ernest?
2084Was there any hope of salvation for her either in this world or the next after such unnatural conduct?
2084Was there not an elder brother?
2084Was this the little lad who could get sweeties for two- pence but not for two- pence- halfpenny?
2084Was this, then, the end of his six years of unflagging devotion?
2084We know so well what we are doing ourselves and why we do it, do we not?
2084Were they not intended to produce all the effect of a threat without being actually threatening?"
2084What boy would not take kindly to almost anything with such assistance?
2084What boys, then, owed money to these harpies as well as Ernest?
2084What chance had they against one who, if she had a mind, could put by out of her income twice as much as they, poor women, could spend?
2084What could he do else that would have been of the smallest use to her?
2084What could he do?
2084What culture is comparable to this?
2084What did it all come to, when he did go to see them?
2084What did it all mean?
2084What do one half of our formularies and rubrics mean if not this?
2084What else could he do?
2084What else could she do?
2084What gentleman could stand this air, think you, for a fortnight?"
2084What happened to him?
2084What head of a family ever sends for any of its members into the dining- room if his intentions are honourable?
2084What if circumstances had made his duty more easy for him than it would be to most men?
2084What interest, pray, do you suppose I have that I could get a living for you?
2084What is Christ if He is not this?
2084What is too heavy a price to pay for having duty made at once clear and easy of fulfilment instead of very difficult?
2084What more could parents do than they had done?
2084What opinion can any sane man form about his own work?
2084What other things?
2084What precedents did not Abraham, Jephthah and Jonadab the son of Rechab offer?
2084What should I not have done if I had had one half of your advantages?
2084What should a boy of his age know about the''Messiah''?
2084What should he do?
2084What was his position?
2084What was the noblest life that perished there?
2084What was''business''?
2084What whisper had ever been breathed against his moral character?
2084What wonder, then, that his imagination should fail to realise the changes that eight years must have worked?
2084What, then, it may be asked, is the good of being great?
2084When should he learn to love his Papa and Mamma as they had loved theirs?
2084Where are they now?
2084Where one could live two could do so, and if Ellen was three or four years older than he was-- well, what was that?
2084Where then was the weak place in George Pontifex''s armour?
2084Where was he to draw the line?
2084Where, where, he asked himself, was it all to end?
2084Which did he now think was most likely to have taken the juster view of life and things, and whom would it be best to imitate, Towneley or Pryer?
2084Who can blame her?
2084Who can wonder at him or do anything but pity him?
2084Who could blame them?
2084Who could hurt him more than he had been hurt already?
2084Who knows but he might meet Lord Lonsford himself, or at any rate some of Lord Lonsford''s other descendants?"
2084Who so fit to be consulted if any difficulty about parish management should arise?
2084Who so_ integer vitae scelerisque purus_, it was asked, as Mr Pontifex of Battersby?
2084Who such a happy mixture of the sincere uninquiring Christian and of the man of the world?
2084Who then should he take first?
2084Who was not to be envied, and if envied why then respected, if Theobald was not enviable?
2084Who would be just good enough to live in the same house with him, and who just not good enough?
2084Whom had he to consult but himself now?
2084Whose friendship have you chosen?
2084Whose ox had he taken, whose ass had he taken, or whom had he defrauded?
2084Why did he see in a moment that it was a bad one now, though he had been unable to see it when he had taken it from Pryer?
2084Why do you think so?''
2084Why had he felt tacitly rebuked as soon as he had met Towneley?
2084Why had he never treated his sisters in this way?
2084Why might he not stand and preach as he saw the Dissenters doing sometimes in Lincoln''s Inn Fields and other thoroughfares?
2084Why should I complain of being among the mediocrities?
2084Why should she?
2084Why should the generations overlap one another at all?
2084Why then should it have been upon them, of all people in the world, that this tower of Siloam had fallen?
2084Why, Lord love the man, whatever is the matter with him?"
2084Why, then, do I insist upon them?
2084Why?
2084With what shops did they get into debt?
2084Would he greet him as though nothing had happened, or would he be cold and distant?
2084Would his father meet him at the station?
2084Yes, but a fallen one?
2084Yet had he not on the whole tried to find out what the ways of God were, and to follow them in singleness of heart?
2084Yet what happened?
2084Yet which of us in his heart likes any of the Elizabethan dramatists except Shakespeare?
2084how can you say so?
2084why, why, why, are there no harbours of refuge for grown men who have not yet lost them?"
2084you too shun me, Ellen?"
48198About him and Catherine Vernon-- and how it was he went away? 48198 About my pearls?"
48198Am I in any muddles?
48198And I suppose she tells you that I never go near her? 48198 And what do you call your chance?"
48198And where have you seen me? 48198 And who do you think is the prettiest person in the room, Harry?
48198And whom did you say Edward was dancing with?
48198And you are going to this dancing tea?
48198And you think Catherine Vernon will depart from all her habits and take you to that butterfly''s ball?
48198Anything to do with him? 48198 Are they real?
48198Are you all great friends?
48198Are you aware,said Edward, sinking his voice,"that our predecessor, before Aunt Catherine, did something of the kind?"
48198Are you going further, Hester? 48198 But about this_ cotillion_?"
48198But was not my father here as well as my mother?
48198But you are happy with your brother?
48198By the way,he said, after an interval,"where did John Vernon pick his wife up?
48198Congratulate me? 48198 Dangerous-- to please?"
48198Did he think she was going to see_ him_?
48198Did not I see you at Captain Morgan''s? 48198 Did she ruin my father?"
48198Did you ever see such a muff?
48198Did you think Reginald was your relation too?
48198Do n''t I want Catherine Vernon-- to see them?
48198Do n''t you see how thoroughly out of place she looks? 48198 Do n''t you think that in most cases enthusiasm is confined to those people who personally know the least of the object of it?
48198Do n''t you think you have had enough? 48198 Do you call me a cat?"
48198Do you know who she is? 48198 Do you mean that Harry would persevere?"
48198Do you mean to say that-- he is not to get what he wishes? 48198 Do you mind, Hester?"
48198Do you say that always when you leave a place?
48198Do you think life''s so easy a business that you can read it off from the surface, and make sure that everything is as it seems?
48198Do you think your cold is so bad as that? 48198 Do you?"
48198Does Miss Vernon,he said,"take any share in the business of the bank-- I mean, in the work, in the regulations?"
48198Does n''t he know, grandmamma?
48198Ellen says it only tires the others, and what is the use?
48198Goodness, Algy, how can you look so glum about a pound or two, when you see we are doing a great work?
48198Had she anything to do with my father?
48198Have we come to Christmas toasts already?
48198Have you seen the charity flannel at Roby''s, Catherine? 48198 He is the father( is he dead?)
48198Hester,said Ellen Merridew, who was passing, and paused on her partner''s arm to interfere,"why do n''t you dance?
48198Hester,said Mrs. John appearing at the open door,"what do you mean by lingering in the cold, to get your death?
48198Hester? 48198 How old are you?"
48198I have made up my mind to rheumatism to- morrow; but what does that matter in comparison with such a delightful entertainment?
48198I know what you mean; but ca n''t you understand the position I am in, and understand_ me_? 48198 I only say it for-- short,"said Ellen, apologetically;"and how can I help what happens at Aunt Catherine''s?
48198I suppose Mr. Merridew has a right to do what he pleases?
48198I think you are all in a plot against me,said Hester, impatiently;"why was it you were left without a head?
48198I wonder what young Mr. Merridew is-- if he is well off, and all that? 48198 I wonder?"
48198In the name of wonder,cried out Miss Vernon,"what does she expect?
48198Is it Hester Vernon that you mean?
48198Is n''t it the same thing as to say that a great man is never a hero to his valet, or that a prophet has no honour in his own country?
48198Is not that a little hard, Aunt Catherine? 48198 Is that so, my love?
48198Is that so?
48198Is there anything of that sort in prospect, if I may be permitted to ask?
48198Is this because you-- care so much for Reginald Merridew?
48198Is this hypocrisy, or is it kindness to spare me? 48198 It is not necessary, is it, to explain?
48198It used to be quite a pleasure to watch for you; and the summer evenings were so tempting, were n''t they? 48198 John Vernon''s daughter?
48198May I believe you?
48198Mistakes? 48198 My chance, grandpapa?"
48198My old man,she said,"what do you know about the talk of girls?
48198No?
48198Oh, cousin, is it? 48198 Oh, must n''t I?
48198Oh, offence, Cousin Catherine? 48198 Oh,"said Emma again,"then there_ are_ factions?
48198Or the poorest perhaps?
48198Perhaps they do n''t have the mayonnaise sauce?
48198She asked me about her father: and was I going to be so brutal as to tell the poor child what has always been concealed from her?
48198She says that, does she?
48198Tell me what you think of these papers? 48198 Then have you forgotten''Bridget-- Fidget''?"
48198Then what does she mean by it?
48198Then you will ask for an invitation for me?
48198Vernon,said Roland,"do you know that you are very rash, opening out like this to me?
48198Well, and this great handsome fellow, a man of the world, is he your baby that you wanted so much?
48198Well?
48198What can I say? 48198 What can I say?"
48198What could Catherine Vernon have to do with them? 48198 What do we want with the old things here?"
48198What do you mean about''anything taking place''?--and from-- from what?
48198What does he mean by till to- morrow? 48198 What does she sit there for, like a Chinese idol?"
48198What girl?
48198What has made him take this idea?
48198What has that to do with it?
48198What interest can he take in Ellen? 48198 What is it?
48198What is it?
48198What is the use of talking to such a silly?
48198What of Edward?
48198What should I mean more? 48198 What was Job''s lesson?
48198What was your chance?
48198What would be the good? 48198 What''s that you thought likely to happen?
48198When which of you gets the upper hand? 48198 Where is Abroad?"
48198Where was I?
48198Who is that girl?
48198Who put Mrs. John there?
48198Who put it into your head to get a dress like that? 48198 Who was he?"
48198Who was the belle?
48198Why do you change colour so? 48198 Why do you never remind me,"he said,"what an old fool I am?
48198Why do you say so, Hester? 48198 Why has she not her mother with her?"
48198Why should I wish to do her honour? 48198 Why should you go out of your way to meet the evil, that by God''s good grace will never come?
48198Would you rather have it in your power to insult me always?
48198Yes, wo n''t it be nice?
48198You asked how it was that we---- What was it you asked, Miss Hester? 48198 You may have made it a little better,"said Hester;"but why do you go on talking like that?
48198You ought not to dislike state,he said, in an undertone;"you who are a kind of queen yourself-- or, shall I say, grand duchess-- in your own town?"
48198You''ll be here, I suppose, Harry, till closing time? 48198 Your customers-- and their money to invest-- what do mean by that?
48198Am I one of the false things you hate?"
48198Among them all, what could be more likely than that her fate should be found?
48198And as for silk slips----""Oh, hold your tongue, Hester, what do you know about it?"
48198And as it is likely that I shall have a good deal to do with the Vernons----""What do you want with the Vernons?
48198And do you mean to say these are real pearls?
48198And how am I to be so pleasantly occupied?
48198And how does the other affair go on?"
48198And quite right, do n''t you think, when one is in the position of a dependent?
48198And she was very comfortable with Roland-- but if he were to marry, what then?
48198And that is her mother?
48198And what did you do after that?
48198And what of her?"
48198And what should I do without you?"
48198And which of us is most likely to be right?"
48198And why could he not devote himself to her?
48198And you must always take into consideration that at any moment Roland might marry, and then where should I be?
48198And, after all, why should not Emma come?
48198Are you really going out with grandpapa?
48198Are you sure of it?
48198But for you and your steady- going banks, how could we operate at all?
48198But how could she do it?
48198But how could these meetings test what he meant?
48198But if I do n''t settle now, he is sure, of course, to marry some time; and then where shall I be?
48198But in an ordinary way what do girls want but their chance?
48198But it is his trade to speculate, is n''t it, grandpapa?
48198But of course it would be white; at the first ball-- and looked well, you say?"
48198But the captain had an easy victory when he said"Should you like to be the one to tell her?"
48198But then why should I lose any time?
48198But what did that matter?
48198But what will Miss Vernon say if we stay here talking shop all the evening?"
48198But why are we, for instance, so much better than the Merridews and all the rest of the respectable people?
48198Can a man say more than that?"
48198Can you imagine anything more nasty?
48198Catherine may consider poor people''s feelings; but there are some who think it is wrong to do so-- for who is like Catherine?
48198Cinderella, where have you left your pumpkin coach?"
48198Come into the hall, it is cool there, and let us talk instead?"
48198Could he be really so much impressed by her character and position, and the failure of true gratitude and kindness?
48198Dancing teas-- what did it mean?
48198Dear Mrs. Morgan, I wanted to ask you-- Was Catherine----Did Catherine----""What, my dear?"
48198Did even she despise him?
48198Did she mean that_ he_ was not faithful?
48198Did you ever hear anything about my father?"
48198Did you see some one whom you admired, Edward?
48198Do n''t you know I am in bondage?
48198Do n''t you know who I mean, Hester?
48198Do n''t you perceive it?
48198Do n''t you remember, dear, Mousheer D''Egmont and his little violin, Martha?
48198Do n''t you see it is quite possible I might betray you?
48198Do n''t you see that makes all the difference?
48198Do n''t you think I was right, grandmamma?
48198Do n''t you think it is very kind?"
48198Do n''t you think it is very thoughtful of him?
48198Do n''t you think so?
48198Do you know-- I wonder---- Had my father never anything to do with it?"
48198Do you live here?
48198Do you mean that I am mistaken about the triumph?
48198Do you think parents have a right to do what they please?
48198Do you think that is good or bad?
48198Do you think we are a frivolous old pair talking as we ought not-- two old fools upon the brink of the grave?"
48198Do you think, Hester, this gentleman would be so good as to see about my invitation?
48198Does that tell you anything about her conduct to_ me_?
48198Does your mamma ever play the harp now?
48198Go on the stage-- or what?"
48198Had n''t he a right to try, the same as another?
48198Harry?
48198Has she any right to interfere?"
48198Has she anything to do with your pearls?
48198Have I made my peace?
48198He had as good a right to the bank as she had, had he not?
48198He is coming to dine with me to- morrow-- as I suppose he told you?"
48198He might just as likely as not, next time he comes, make you an offer; and then where should I be?"
48198How could I mean that?
48198How could he expect the field to be clear for him, and the rich, childless woman of fortune left at his mercy?
48198How could it be my fault?
48198How could you doubt that?
48198How does it feel to be happy?
48198How long is it since he came, Hester?
48198How should that be?"
48198How would she look among other girls-- how would she receive him?
48198I am sure I am very glad grandpapa is on Catherine''s side; for Elinor said, and then Roland told me---- Who is that?
48198I dare say you do n''t know, Miss Hester, what I mean by a run?"
48198I do n''t know, Catherine,"she added with humility,"if you will think that foolish?"
48198I do n''t think that is nice in a married sister, do you?
48198I have not thought much about it; but I should like to know,"said Hester with more composure,"how it was that she had it and not papa?"
48198I hear she is of good family-- and was it her extravagance that brought about his ruin?
48198I hope she will not wear out the good impression----""Is she not so-- nice?"
48198I suppose people will call when they know I am here?"
48198I suppose she had a pretty dress-- white?
48198I suppose this girl has not any money?
48198I suppose we are going the same way?"
48198I suppose you had an invitation, grandmamma, though you are too old to go?"
48198I wonder if my ivory fan would be old- fashioned?
48198If Hester knew, what would the girl do?
48198If I do n''t get settled, what have I to look forward to?
48198If it was not so, would she be deeply disappointed?
48198If she does n''t do all you want, who do you expect would?"
48198If she liked one better than the other, should the fellow she would n''t have be such a cad as to stand in her way?
48198If they choose to entrust me with their business, is there any reason why I should refuse it?
48198Is he after some girl, and does n''t want Cousin Catherine to know?
48198Is n''t it so?"
48198Is that cynicism?"
48198It is one''s first duty, do n''t you think, to minister to the pleasure of one''s grandparents?
48198It is the settlements that are the things to be considered; or perhaps she is thinking of a title?
48198It would be necessary to say something, and what could be said?
48198John?"
48198Mr. Rule, will you answer me?
48198My mother, with her twenty pounds, what could she do?
48198Oh, but I do; they are just one as good as another, and why should one be rich and another poor?
48198Oh, then, there are_ men_ there?
48198Oh, you know her, do you?
48198On what?
48198One said so to please you; but how can you suppose one meant anything?
48198Or is it----?
48198Pocket the shame and continue to wear them as became Mrs. John''s daughter, or tear them from her neck and trample them under foot?
48198She is looking for something better, I suppose?"
48198She laughed a moment after, and added,"Of course, she would; what could I have expected?
48198She looked at him and at Hester with a little sigh; but who could tell what might happen with patience and time?
48198She was going to be happy-- was she going to be happy?
48198Suspicion produces treachery, do n''t you know?"
48198There is no change in that respect so far as I am aware, Martha, is there?
48198There was a little pause round the table which was somewhat awkward; for what could anybody say?
48198To know exactly how he regarded her would much help her in deciding the other question, not less important, which was, how she regarded him?
48198Unless I had settled, what should I have done?
48198WAS IT LOVE?
48198WAS IT LOVE?
48198Was he in love?
48198Was he in love?
48198Was he in love?
48198Was he in love?
48198Was it her cunning that the old lady meant to praise?
48198Was it possible after all, that perhaps the words upon which they agreed had different meanings to each?
48198Was it possible that any new object that might appear would have the same effect upon her?
48198Was not this what she herself was doing?
48198Was she glad she had gone?
48198Was there a run-- and how did you provide--?"
48198Was this a confession of feminine inferiority?
48198We always said that was what was likely to happen, did n''t we?"
48198What are you doing here behind backs?
48198What are you doing?
48198What can she expect?"
48198What could I have done with you then-- a little thing among lots of people?
48198What could be better for a girl?
48198What could be the cause?
48198What could it mean to the bank?
48198What do you know about it?
48198What do you mean by not dancing?
48198What do you think about all these failures, Catherine?
48198What do you think, Mr. Harry?
48198What does it all mean?"
48198What had happened?
48198What harm could they do to the house that sheltered them, two old, good, peaceful people, who were kind to everybody?
48198What is going to happen?"
48198What is it at the best but making money out of the follies of your fellow- creatures?
48198What is she saving herself for, I wonder?
48198What is that big house, that red one, so near the road?
48198What is that the Bible says about''deceitful above all things''?
48198What is the matter?"
48198What kind of something?
48198What more is needed to enable a young man to make his way with women?
48198What reason could there be for not wearing your mother''s pearls?
48198What right had he to engage you?
48198What should I go for?
48198What should it matter to Edward that Catherine''s eye was upon him?
48198What should we do without you?
48198What was the use of saying any more?
48198What you give in charity ought to be different, do n''t you think?
48198When do you think my invitation will come, grandmamma?
48198When you try to get hold of yourself, did you ever find a more slippery customer?
48198Where are you going?
48198Where could you find steadier married women?
48198Where does she think she will get another such offer?
48198Where have you seen Catherine Vernon, Hester?
48198Whether we are in Paris fashions or our old silks, do n''t we owe it all to you?"
48198Why did I say Cinderella?
48198Why do you talk of Aunt Catherine to me?"
48198Why had he done it?
48198Why have I not pearls?
48198Why is one forced to wear all this upon one?"
48198Why should I be responsible for one who is not me, nor of my mind?"
48198Why should I dress up so fine for Ellen''s parties?
48198Why should Mrs. John''s daughter have rejected so excellent a settlement?
48198Why should it displease her?
48198Why should my life be overshadowed permanently by the action of another?
48198Why should people wait when they are well off enough, and nothing to be gained by it?
48198Why should she care about what I wear?
48198Why should you have a good deal to do with them?"
48198Why should you suppose I would not like it?
48198Would she have done so?
48198Would that be the right thing?
48198Yes, I will say her name; why should n''t I?
48198You ca n''t, till you are quite certain what_ they_ mean, do n''t you know?
48198You do n''t play or bet; you have no claim upon you that you want extraordinary means of supplying----""How can you tell all that?"
48198You only see him in the evening?"
48198You were not at Miss Vernon''s party last year?"
48198Your cousin Edward----""Did Edward tell you so?"
48198_ you_, dear Catherine?
48198and ai n''t we enough to chaperon a couple of dozen girls?
48198and you said something to me about my mother?"
48198but is he likely to marry?
48198he had said to himself, and what then?
48198he said, putting his hands together with a supplicating gesture,"may I put faith in you?
48198of the-- young lady-- who is such a favourite with my grandfather?"
48198or rather, if you have withdrawn from it, what do the boys think?"
48198said Emma,"or are there little factions as there generally are in families?
48198where is she to get another such chance again?
48198who is Miss Ashton?
48197''Can a woman forget?'' 48197 Am I all that?"
48197Am I difficult to understand?
48197And what is Elinor doing?
48197And why did she bring_ you_? 48197 Are they in the bank too?"
48197Are they wicked reports?
48197Are they?
48197Are you Cousin Catherine?
48197Are you a Vernon--_too_?
48197Are you quite sure there is no mistake?
48197Are you so sure that Hester will marry him?
48197Are you sure that our difficulties will increase?
48197Because I am likely to see a great deal of him in the future? 48197 But forgive me, Aunt Catherine, was it not you that asked her to come?"
48197But you have made all preparations? 48197 But-- Catherine?"
48197Certainly; who else, when the credit of the bank is at stake? 48197 Did I say it?
48197Did you wish me to pay you compliments? 48197 Do Englishmen look for flowers?"
48197Do any of the Vernons live in that great white house-- that one, do you see?--on the other side of the red roofs?
48197Do n''t be vexed; why should you? 48197 Do n''t you think it will keep till to- morrow, mother?
48197Do n''t you think so?
48197Do n''t you think you give too much importance to the nonsense of a girl? 48197 Do n''t you think,"he said, softly,"that we are going too fast, Aunt Catherine, in every way?
48197Do n''t you, my poor child? 48197 Do you call it not wrong-- to do what your heart revolts at to please your mother?"
48197Do you call that respect?
48197Do you know many languages?
48197Do you see that?
48197Do you think it would be right to marry a man only because your mother wished it?
48197Do you think me a savage?
48197Do you think so?
48197Do you think that is what I mean? 48197 Do you think,"said Mrs. John, with a little tremor,"that she will be dreadfully angry?
48197Do you wish me to go away, Cousin Catherine?
48197Force-- oh, Mr. Harry, do you think I would force my child? 48197 From the way you speak, ma''am,"said Mr. Rule,"I conclude that you have heard some of the wicked reports that are flying about?"
48197Had he anything to do with the bank?
48197Has he gone away?
48197Have you ill- natured thoughts? 48197 Her nephew?"
48197How are you getting on?
48197How can a girl understand banking business?
48197How much have you?
48197How should I take it? 48197 How was I to know?
48197I have to be my own body- guard, it is true,she said;"but why should I want one at all?
48197I know it was my duty,she cried;"for who is to care for you, to see that you are settled in life, but me?
48197I suppose all this means that you wo n''t have me?
48197I suppose, Captain Morgan,said Hester that evening, when she walked out with him as usual,"that Cousin Catherine was young once?"
48197I suppose,said Hester, from the midst of her curls,"that he finds it dull now without Ellen at the White House?"
48197I wonder if the people_ up there_ have any hand in it?
48197I-- do you know I have been brought up in France? 48197 If you think all that of me, why wo n''t you have me?"
48197Is anything to happen to- morrow?
48197Is he so nice?
48197Is he?
48197Is it Cousin Catherine that has brought us all here?
48197Is it of me you dare to speak so?
48197Is that all that is to be thought of, whether it will turn out well?
48197Is that how people behave in England? 48197 Is there any one so much interested as I am?
48197It is astonishing, is it not, that one should be so much more powerful than others? 48197 Like the people who found the elixir of life, or the Wandering Jew?"
48197Love her? 48197 Many languages?
48197May I stay and talk to you?
48197Might I not replace you, grandfather? 48197 Oh why should it not be discussed between us?"
48197Oh yes, I am afraid I did know who she was-- that she was Cousin Catherine; but then, who is Cousin Catherine? 48197 Oh, Harry, nothing of the sort; but if we do n''t enjoy ourselves when we are young, when are we to do it?
48197Oh, Hester, have I ever thought so? 48197 Oh, why did I let you persuade me to go to bed?
48197Oh, why was I so foolish as to leave you to mismanage everything? 48197 Oh, why will you make such a mistake?
48197Oh, you are surely not going out,he said,"not just when I come?
48197Perhaps you know where he is, ma''am?
48197Should you be sorry to go?
48197Sophistry, is n''t it? 48197 That is not possible,"she cried, holding her head high; and then she said anxiously,"Mr. Rule, tell me what you mean?"
48197The White House? 48197 The bank of course is for that, is n''t it?
48197Then I suppose my father must have had something to do with it, for do you know, though we are poor now, he once lived there?
48197Then does it come to this, that money is everything?
48197Then it is no further gone than that; and yet it is as far gone as that?
48197Then why did he go away?
48197They said they would come and fetch you to spend a day with them, did n''t they? 48197 To keep_ you_ at arm''s length?
48197We have none-- in this world; but do you think my wife would have been what she is with never a child? 48197 Well, it does not look likely, does it?"
48197Well,she said,"are you satisfied?"
48197What are you going to do?
48197What could you teach?
48197What do you do in the day?
48197What does that mean?
48197What is it all to come to?
48197What of Catherine?
48197What papers?
48197What should she think? 48197 What should we do with the White House?
48197What should you know about the business?
48197What was there to gain by it? 48197 What would have been the good,"said the poor lady,"when we could do nothing?
48197What?
48197Where am I to begin?
48197Who else?
48197Who is she? 48197 Who is that, Aunt Catherine?"
48197Who was he?
48197Who was it for?
48197Why did you want me to know this?
48197Why not?
48197Why should I keep away? 48197 Why should I?"
48197Why should n''t you let it stay so? 48197 Why should you come out to catch cold?"
48197Why, she has never seen any one, has she? 48197 Why-- is it Harry?"
48197Why? 48197 Why?"
48197Would that be something wrong?
48197You are surprised to hear me so talkative, Hester? 48197 You will not be long of coming to bed, dear?"
48197A mere politeness, where could have been the harm of that?
48197After all though, is it called for?
48197And how about her teaching and her independence and the_ cours_ she felt herself ready to open?
48197And how can you do this, save by marrying?
48197And that is where you used to live?
48197And then I say it is good policy, do n''t you think so, Mrs. Vernon?
48197And where could she be?
48197And where was Mr. Vernon?
48197Are you doing lessons now?
48197Are you going to marry Harry Vernon, Hester?"
48197Are you going to marry Harry Vernon?"
48197But do n''t you know it is the fashion now for girls to do something?
48197But do you think the world ever looked the same after?
48197But what could Mrs. John do?
48197But what could the clerks do without the principal?
48197But what did that matter?
48197But what is the use of a mother''s remonstrances?
48197But, if so, why was she kind to his wife and child?
48197Come and spend a long day with me, wo n''t you?
48197Could I let her come in and disturb my mother after she was in bed?
48197Could anything have been more kind?
48197Cousin Catherine?
48197Did he think that this round world was hanging on like a big ball, hampering the going of God, do you suppose?
48197Do n''t you know she would not let her in?
48197Do n''t you know, Hester-- they say women always know-- that I''ve been in love with you ever so long?"
48197Do n''t you remember her look on the Thursdays, which we both remarked?"
48197Do n''t you remember we agreed it was the secret of all Hamlet''s tragedy?
48197Do n''t you remember, Martha?
48197Do n''t you see?
48197Do you dislike so much walking alone?"
48197Do you know Cousin Catherine?
48197Do you know?"
48197Do you love her?"
48197Do you think I should have waited for you to- night if I had not wanted to insult you?
48197Does he come and see you often?
48197Does no one go to early mass?"
48197Does that surprise you?
48197Either nothing had been said on the subject, or else-- But what else?
48197For God''s sake, ma''am, tell me how I am to find him?"
48197Good and virtuous and kind children-- what could a woman have more?
48197Had she been against him too?
48197Had you no father like me?
48197Has it never occurred to you that I was anxious to see you, Hester?
48197Have I satisfied you now?"
48197Have you accepted him?"
48197Have you never heard of Vernon''s Bank?
48197Have you seen the other people who live in the Heronry?
48197He could not surely be unkind?
48197He gave a gasp as if those arrested words almost choked him, then said,"Nor anybody?"
48197He said,"Will you come and have a turn in the garden?"
48197How can people tell such lies?
48197How could he be ignorant, ma''am?
48197How is Ellen?
48197I did want a body- guard, some one to see that I was not insulted, to protect me, on a quiet country road, from-- from--""Yes?
48197I do n''t like to trouble a lady, but what can I do?
48197I do n''t say she likes me, but she ca n''t like any one else, can she?
48197I have the greatest respect for the ladies-- where would we without them?
48197I may be of some use to you as your difficulties increase; but I should like to know your name, and what I am to call you?"
48197I said, who would harm me?
48197I suppose he never came back to this country again?"
48197I suppose she is your mother?
48197I suppose your mother has told you a great deal about the Vernons-- and me?"
48197I think I could be happy here, at least as happy as I can ever be now; and what if I must give it all up again for you?"
48197I think I like you, but you may be sure I shall never hate you; why should I?
48197I want to open a_ cours_; do n''t you think I might open a_ cours_?
48197I wonder what Mr. Tennyson could have been thinking of?
48197If you want to keep in favour with Aunt Catherine-- isn''t your name Hester?"
48197Is it Harry?"
48197Is it about business, or anything I may know?"
48197Is it really so bitter to you to be dependent?
48197Is it, perhaps, genius for business, as distinct as genius in poetry, which makes everything succeed?
48197Is not that a great deal to say?
48197Is not that enough?
48197Is she fond of you that she has you to live in her house?
48197Is she your aunt?
48197Is that an hour to wake me, when I have not had my first sleep out?
48197It is not possible,"she cried a moment after,"that you are the little girl?"
48197It must have been born in her, do n''t you see?
48197It was all very strange, she had never seen anything like it before; but what was the reason why papa left?
48197Let me see that pretty lace thing she gave you?
48197May she come?
48197Morgan?"
48197Mr. Kaley was so very civil; did you notice?
48197Mrs. Vernon,"he cried, suddenly,"ca n''t you help us?
48197Oh, she may have a holiday for one day?"
48197Oh, she sees very well how they lie, but is never angry, only laughs; is that the way to make one love her?
48197Perhaps because she was an old woman, and wanted to make up a little for what she had done?
48197Perhaps on the whole it might be better if you would sound her a bit, eh?
48197Perhaps out of remorse and compunction?
48197Perhaps you are thinking that a boy of fourteen is not much?
48197Rule?"
48197Shall I make you a cup of tea?"
48197She asked her son how he could forget that if Catherine''s money went out of the business it would make the most extraordinary difference?
48197She used to listen breathless, wondering at the difference-- for what danger was there, what chance of mortal peril or temptation, here?
48197She was ready to give all she had, and who can do any more?"
48197Should he go to the Old Bank, the life- long rival of Vernon''s, and ask their help to pull through?
48197Should he go to the agent of the Bank of England?
48197Should n''t you say so?
48197Supposing that they have drained all that was best in me out of me for years?
48197Supposing that they have grown alien to me in every respect-- thinking other thoughts, walking in other ways?
48197Supposing that they have made my life hard and bitter to me?
48197Tell me, what would that discovery do to a girl, a daring, masterful spirit like you?"
48197The Vernons are great or they are small, do n''t you know?
48197The first Englishman she had seen; what was he going to do?
48197Then why do n''t they come, Hester?--why do n''t they come?"
48197Then, with a smile, she added,"Am I not to go in?
48197There was a pause, and then he resumed suddenly, and without any preface,"So it is Harry-- who is to be the man?"
48197There was no telegraph in those days, and if he confided Mr. Vernon''s story to the other banks, what would they think of him?
48197They may have some ideal in their heads, though they have never met any one----""Eh?"
48197They say in France that men are all equal; but how can that be when Cousin Catherine-- What gives her so much power?"
48197This was a question not very hard to answer, seeing that the next moment she added to herself,"Who else could it be?"
48197Vernon?"
48197Was Hester too wise to be moved by that hint of opposition, that sense that a thing which is forbidden must be pleasant?
48197Was he, she wondered, going to early mass?
48197Was his confidence justified?
48197Was it like him to reject the kindness of kin, to limit his wife in her affections, to turn a cold shoulder on his grandson?
48197Was it possible she did not observe it?
48197Was it possible that a creature so dazzling, so triumphant, had spoken such words to her?
48197Was it the beginning of the first?
48197Was it worth living?
48197Was not one lady enough to appeal to?
48197Was she angry-- do you know-- last night?
48197Was she not the guardian of her mother, and of her quiet and repose?
48197Well, will you come in?
48197Were you poor?
48197What I think is always what will be the best----""For her?
48197What about?"
48197What advantage do you think there would be in turning everything upside down-- in making a great fuss and disturbance and changing all our relations?
48197What are you learning?
48197What could she do even if she wished to help them?
48197What could that do to Vernon''s?
48197What did Catherine Vernon mean to do with this house?
48197What did it matter what they said or felt?
48197What did it mean?
48197What did it mean?
48197What did it mean?
48197What did they mean by it?
48197What do you suppose I have been coming here for every night?
48197What else could I do?"
48197What had I best do?
48197What had been done to him?
48197What had he done?
48197What has been going on?
48197What is there in the human bosom more strong than the desire to see how the gladiators die?
48197What should she know?
48197What sort of a woman would she be that cared for a man who did not care for her?"
48197What then could she be expected to do?
48197What virtue was that in her?
48197What was he to her that it should matter how he behaved?
48197What was it for?
48197What was it for?
48197What was she anxious about?
48197What was the dreadful drawback?
48197What was to be done?
48197What would Hester say?
48197What would Hester say?
48197What would be the good of it?
48197What would they do with each other?
48197What?
48197When I say that Harry is the man, I do not suppose either that he is worthy of you, or that you think so; but you are a girl, what can you do?
48197When is she coming home?"
48197Where could she find any one who had so much to offer?
48197Where was my father?"
48197Where would they have been without a guide?"
48197Whereas here, living as we are, what can I do?--or you for me?"
48197Who would have thought it?
48197Who would?
48197Why are you so self- willed, child?
48197Why did n''t I stay up-- I could have done it quite well-- and seen Catherine Vernon?
48197Why did they come?
48197Why did those poor girls in white muslin, not being compelled, like Hester, continue to go?
48197Why how could he have so much as looked that way without encouragement?
48197Why interfere so pointedly to prevent the simplest communication between her and the stranger?
48197Why is she so kind?
48197Why should Hester hold me off and on?
48197Why should he be free and I a slave?
48197Why should he go to France without letting any one at the bank know, saying he was only to be absent for a day?
48197Why should he interrupt the innocent talk?
48197Why should not it weigh with her?
48197Why should she be startled?
48197Why was not Hester born in that day?
48197Why was not she a man?
48197Why was she shy?
48197Will you come and help me?"
48197Without that----""Everything will be lost?"
48197Wo n''t that do?"
48197Wo n''t you sit down?
48197Would that do any good?"
48197You can not make coffee in England, can you?"
48197You did not know I had one perhaps?
48197You make a statement to me about your own state of mind, and then you look as if you expected something from me; but what am I to say?
48197and Cousin Catherine, this rich woman who had them all in her power, why had she not more respect for weakness?
48197and then she turned to her brother,"Is n''t it fine?"
48197and whom could she be with?
48197but how could she help it?
48197ca n''t you help us?
48197do you mean that it is me Mr. Rule wants to see?"
48197from-- whom?
48197had lost?
48197he said indifferently,"who can he find to woo about here?"
48197how could they ever pull together-- the one all eagerness and vigour, the other stolid and heavy?
48197is n''t it fun?
48197it would have broken his heart; what was left to him to come for?
48197said Mrs. John,"what do I know about business?
48197said Mrs. John:"have you refused him?
48197said Mrs. John;"do you think fires can be got for nothing?
48197said his wife,"but where''s the money?"
48197send to Mr. Sellon and ask him to help us on that security?
48197she cried in a voice of girlish thunder;"is it possible that you could ever think of scheming-- match- making-- for me?"
48197so you''ve been expecting Ellen Vernon?"
48197the thought passed through his mind as similar thoughts had passed through William''s-- Would all this be sold away from her?
48197was it possible that a woman should avow such possibilities and yet live?
48197what do you know about it?
48197what has happened?
48197what have you done?
48197what should be wrong?"
48197what will mother say?
48197who would harm me?"
12180( briskly) And by what arguments, Sir, do you propose to prevail upon me?
12180A fortnight, Sir?
12180A pretty character for thee, is it not?
12180A skilful physician?
12180Afraid of what, Doctor?
12180And I used to believe him too-- and yet, fond of life, and fearful of death, what do we do, when we are taken ill, but call ye in?
12180And can indignities of any kind be properly pardoned till we have it in our power to punish them?
12180And can this be the act of penitence?
12180And did she send you such a letter?
12180And had he been pardoned, would he not then have been at liberty to do as much mischief as ever?
12180And how could Belton help that?
12180And indeed, either openly or secretly, who has not?
12180And now, Mrs. Smith, said I, where are your gloves?
12180And now, what ought I to say?
12180And should I think myself concerned for your fortune, and not for your honour?
12180And then I read to them several passages in his letter, and asked what foundation she had for giving that fellow such impressions of either of us?
12180And then add:] But were they ever so favourably inclined to me now, what can they do for me?
12180And then recovering himself, with another stretch and a shake, What''s o''clock?
12180And then would my brother, or my cousin Morden, have been more secure than now?
12180And then, Sir, of what avail will be the''eulogies''you shall all, peradventure, join to give to her memory?
12180And to what may this indifference be owing?
12180And were you, Sir, thus earnest?
12180And what are those of the ladies?
12180And what do ye do, when called in, but nurse our distempers, till from pigmies you make giants of them?
12180And what farther, in your opinion, can be done?
12180And what follows?
12180And what have I, more than many others, to answer for on this account in the world''s eye?
12180And what is the difference of a few days to you, when I am gratified rather than discomposed by it?
12180And what is to be the end of your interrogatories?
12180And what must they be every time she turns her head towards it?
12180And what, after all, would this lady deserve, if she has deceived me in this case?
12180And what, pray, is the part I act, and my motives for it?
12180And when he read to them that passage, where you ask Miss Howe,''What can be done for you now, were your friends to be ever so favourable?
12180And where dost think this was?
12180And who but ourselves can make out our characters, were you inclined to let any body see what passes between us?
12180And who knows not that difficulty gives poignancy to our enjoyments; which are apt to lose their relish with us when they are over easily obtained?
12180And who knows where it may yet end?
12180And who, pray, is in this room?
12180And why?
12180And will he come?
12180And will nothing make him serious?
12180And yet go out again this morning early?
12180And, as to you, Sir, she forgives you: she wishes you well; and happier than you will let her die in peace?
12180Are not my days few?
12180Are you not willing, Nephew, are you not most willing, to marry this lady, if she can be prevailed upon to have you?
12180Are you reconciled to them?
12180Are you sent for down?
12180As soon as he discovers that that was only a stratagem to keep him away, he will come up, and who knows but even now he is upon the road?
12180At last she broke silence, asking me, if you were really and indeed so ill as it was said you were?
12180Brand really seems to be?
12180Brother and sister so immovably fixed against the only means that could be taken to put all right with every body?--And what now can be done?
12180But I am not merry-- I am sad!--Hey- ho!--Where shall I find my dear Miss Harlowe?
12180But are there no hopes of her recovery?
12180But did my cousin come purposely to town to see me?
12180But do n''t you think there is something very favourable to my nephew in this letter-- something that looks as if the lady would comply at last?
12180But have you, Sir, that letter of his in which he gives you( as I suppose he does) the copy of mine?
12180But if he come, what shall I do about the screen?
12180But let me ask you, Mr. Lovelace, what is the name of your friend, who is admitted so easily into my cousin''s presence?
12180But my friends may possibly be better justified than the reporters-- For who knows what they may have heard?
12180But since you are loth to answer my question directly, I will put it in other words-- You do n''t enjoin me to go into the air, Doctor, do you?
12180But then what is my tumbling over and over through the floor into a frightful hole, descending as she ascends?
12180But what accounting for it is necessary?
12180But what are the black sweeping mantles and robes of Lord M. thrown over my face?
12180But what do you bid me hope for, when you tell me that, if your mother''s health will permit, you will see me in town?
12180But what is the meaning I hear nothing from thee?
12180But what is this saying, when already I curse the whole world except her-- myself most?
12180But what need the doctor to ask her leave to write to her friends?
12180But what of that?
12180But whither am I running?
12180But who told this hard- hearted and death- pronouncing doctor that she will hold it no longer?
12180But who, that has so many ludicrous images raised in his mind by the awkward penitence, can forbear laughing at thee?
12180But whose is this?
12180But why delay I thus my messenger?
12180But why didst thou not comfort the poor man about the rencounter between him and that poltroon Metcalfe?
12180But with some, indeed, every thing she does must be good, every thing I do must be bad-- And why?
12180But, Jack, though thy uncle''s death has made thee a rich fellow, art thou sure that the making good of such a vow will not totally bankrupt thee?
12180But, Sir, will you permit me to take with me these two letters?
12180But, if you leave me-- what is the world, or any thing in it, to your ANNA HOWE?
12180But, what shall we say?
12180By what warrant says he this?
12180Can I be above the man, Sir, to whom I shall give my hand and my vows, and with them a sanction to the most premeditated baseness?
12180Can you, Sir, remind me of any thing necessary to be done or said to make your office easy?
12180Col. Are you sure, Sir, that Mr. Belford is a man of honour?
12180Col. High language, Mr. Lovelace?
12180Col. Is it possible?
12180Col. Let me put this question to you, Mr. Lovelace: Is it true, as I have heard it is, that you would marry my cousin, if she would have you?
12180Col. Only this: that an officious pragmatical novice has been sent up to inquire into my cousin''s life and conversation: And, would you believe it?
12180Col. What reason, Sir, may I ask, does she give, against listening to so powerful a mediation, and to such offers?
12180Col. Who are you, Sir?
12180Come, said she, what will you give me, and I''ll be as virtuous for a quarter of an hour, and mimic your Clarissa to the life?
12180Confound me for a gaping puppy, how I yawn!--Where shall I begin?
12180Could he not have done it without letting her know any thing of the matter?
12180D----n the fellow, where''s thy penknife?
12180D----n the fellow, why dost struggle thus?
12180Dangerously ill, say you?
12180Dear Mrs. Lovick, tell me what is become of her?
12180Did you not see him?
12180Do n''t you remember the lines of Howard, which once you read to me in my ivy- bower?
12180Do not, my dear friend, be concerned that I call it my last stage; For what is even the long life which in high health we wish for?
12180Do you know Mr. Belford, friend?
12180Do you know me?
12180Do you know who I am?
12180Do you know your poor friend Belton?
12180Except indeed we look forward to the rewards of HEREAFTER, which, morally, she must be sure of, or who can?
12180For does she not brazen out her crime, even after detection?
12180For how is it that I am the enemy of her soul, when I love her both soul and body?
12180For may not the inclination my mother has given up be the effect of a too- fond indulgence, rather than that I merit the indulgence?
12180Had I not, Mrs. Smith?
12180Has any body been here from him?
12180Has he not destroyed my fame and my fortune?
12180Has he not punished me enough for my preference of him to all his sex?
12180Has repented of all his baseness: And will nothing do?
12180Has she had good attendance, Sir?
12180Hast thou?--Answer me, man: Hast thou, or not?
12180He was a fearless, cheerful fellow: who''d have thought all that should end in such dejected whimpering and terror?
12180Here, Andrew,[ to her footman,] you want a pair of gloves, do n''t you?
12180How can that be, widow?
12180How can you think of such a thing, Mr. Belford?
12180How could your accursed friend-- And how could her cruel parents?
12180How familiarly dost thou use the words, dying, dimness, tremor?
12180How long have I dozed?
12180How so?
12180How then can the fall of such a one create a proper distress, when all the circumstances of it are considered?
12180How would you like, my dear, to have any of these things said?
12180I am sure I should-- But pray, Sir, how did you leave them?
12180I asked, if I should write to her cousin, as he knew not how ill she was, to hasten up?
12180I asked, what it was they sold?
12180I asked, what was intended by your brother and sister?
12180I can not bear it!--What a dog, what a devil have I been to a goodness so superlative!--Why does she not inveigh against me?
12180I demanded where their rappee was?
12180I do, Sir; and what can I say more?
12180I had but just dispatched your servant, and was asking her nurse if I might be again admitted?
12180I have the honour to be nearly related to her.--Step up, pray, and let her know,( she is sensible, I hope,) that I am here-- Who is with her?
12180I hesitated: For how could I answer for such a man?
12180I looked about me, and above me; and told them I was very proud of my seat; asking, if John were ever permitted to fill this superb niche?
12180I stept to him, and favoured his retreat; she only saying, Are you going, Mr. Belford?
12180I will pay thee a good price, man: do n''t struggle thus?
12180I would be glad to know how I am to take your''s?
12180If he did not, I could not pass it over, though you have nearer relations; for, my dear Cousin, did not your grandfather leave me in trust for you?
12180If she should die, how will all my pertnesses to her fly in my face!-- Why, why, did I ever vex her?
12180If, Madam, your cousin Morden should come, you would be glad to see him, I presume?
12180In which case, would not( on his acquittal, or pardon) resentments have been reciprocally heightened?
12180Is it any merit to admire more than ever a lady who can so exaltedly distinguish?
12180Is it because I was stung?
12180Is it not Belford, pray?
12180Is it not a little hard upon you, that these troubles should fall so thick to your lot?
12180Is it not because the latter allow themselves in any liberty, in order to carry a point?
12180Is it not just language?
12180Is it you?
12180Is my cousin come?
12180Is she within?
12180It is such a horrid thing to think of, that a man who had lived in such strict terms of-- what shall I call it?
12180It may one day, who knows how soon?
12180It opened with the dying man''s asking him, with melancholy earnestness, if nothing-- if nothing at all could be done for him?
12180John hereupon put on a serious, and a less respectful face-- Sir, this house is mine; and-- And what, friend?
12180Joseph, what said John to thee?
12180Just then, turning my eye to the door, I saw a pretty, genteel lady, with a footman after her, peeping in with a What''s the matter, good folks?
12180Let me, therefore, know( if you please) whether you are willing to appear to do yourself, and us, and your sex, this justice?
12180Lord M. But what is all this, but more sacks upon the mill?
12180Lord M. What the devil canst thou mean?
12180Lord M.( interposing again, as we were both for going out,) And what will this do, gentlemen?
12180Mowbray whispered me, What is the cause, Bobby?--Shall I take the gentleman to task for thee, my boy?
12180Mowbray, is this acting like a friend by me, to suppose me incapable of answering for myself?
12180Mrs. Smith standing next him, Why, said he, with great emotion, is my cousin suffered to indulge her sad reflections with such an object before her?
12180Must bold creatures, and forward spirits, for ever, and by the best and wisest of us, as well as by the indiscreetest, be the most kindly treated?
12180Nor ought you take it amiss, if you rightly weigh the matter: For, Sir, whom does a lady want protection against but her injurers?
12180Now if he give you your life, does he not give, think you, a valuable consideration for the money you engage your honour to send him?
12180Now, Jack, what can a man make of all this?
12180Or how will injuries be believed to grieve us, that are never honourably complained of?
12180Poor Lovelace!----What a devil ails thee?
12180Pray, Sir, did she return an answer to this letter?
12180Really, Sir, you take-- Great liberties I hope you would not say, Mrs. Smith?
12180Shall I give thee a faint picture of the horrible uneasiness with which my mind struggles?
12180Shall I go up, and see if Miss Harlowe be there, Mrs. Smith?
12180Shall I, Madam, send my servant post with it?
12180She asked, with great serenity, where you were?
12180She is to send me a letter after she is in Heaven, is she?
12180She said, Whither can I go, Mrs. Lovick?
12180Should not every body that has any thing to bequeath make their will?
12180Sir, replied the good woman, who should controul her?
12180Sir?
12180Smith.--Why should you?
12180So, old acquaintance, how do you now?
12180Suppose you kill one another, will the matter be bettered or worsted by that?
12180Ten days?--A week?--How long, Sir?
12180The Colonel, as Mrs. Smith told me afterwards, asked with great impatience, the moment he alighted, how Miss Harlowe was?
12180The gin, the snare, the net, mean matrimony, I suppose-- But is it a crime in me to wish to marry her?
12180The man whom once I could have loved, I have been enabled to despise: And shall not charity complete my triumph?
12180The question is, if your life is not in the fellow''s power?
12180The remedy I propose is a severe one: But what pain can be more severe than the injury?
12180Then, why do good people take upon themselves to censure, as they do, persons less scrupulous than themselves?
12180These the poets liken to''enamelling''--have you not read in the poets of''enamelled meads,''and so forth?
12180This letter is very different from her preceding one!--You returned an answer to it, Mr. Lovelace?
12180This made a trifling affair important: And what was the issue?
12180Thou, perhaps, wilt ask, what honest man is obliged to keep his promise with a highwayman?
12180Was I right, as to the first, Jack?
12180We all remaining silent, the women having their aprons at their eyes, Why this concern for nothing at all?
12180Well, and Mr. Belford wrote me word that she was exceeding ill. How then can she be gone out?
12180Well, but my good dear Mrs. Smith, where is the lady gone?
12180Well, with all my heart, said I:''tis not for us tradesmen to be saucy-- Is it, Mrs. Smith?
12180What a devil will it signify talking, if thus you are to blow one another up at every word?
12180What a step has he made me take to avoid him!--Who can touch pitch, and not be defiled?
12180What can I say?--But why should not you know the truth?
12180What can it be, Bob.?
12180What canst earn a- day, man?
12180What could Belford do for him?
12180What could I say to an inference so fairly drawn?
12180What do you sell, Sir?
12180What makes you put this question?
12180What must I save you from?
12180What rooms have you to let?
12180What say you, Mrs. Smith, to this?
12180What signifies this transitory eclipse?
12180What will that do for me?
12180What would I give for one year of my past life?--only one year-- and to have the same sense of things that I now have?
12180What''s the matter, my Lord?
12180What, I wonder, has again happened between you and Mr. Hickman?
12180What, but, as we go along, a life of apprehension, sometimes for our friends, oftener for ourselves?
12180Where are they, if a customer shall come in?
12180Where is her servant?
12180Where is this new face?
12180Where, where?
12180Who could be otherwise?
12180Who could have believe there could be parents so implacable?
12180Who knows what may arise from his arrival?
12180Who knows, as it would have come from an associate, and of an associate, it might have affected him?
12180Who the devil could have expected such consequences as these?
12180Whom do you guess me to be?
12180Why so, Mrs. Smith?
12180Why so, Sir?
12180Why so, Sir?
12180Why will he wish to interrupt me in my duty?
12180Why will ye break a leaf driven to and fro?
12180Why will ye pursue the dry stubble?
12180Why will ye write bitter words against me, and make me possess the iniquities of my youth?
12180Why, O why was she not before willing?
12180Why, father Smith, thy wife is a wit, man!--Didst thou ever find that out before?--But where is widow Lovick, dame Smith?
12180Will neither vows nor prayers save her?
12180Will the lady be made happier or unhappier, do you think, by either or both of your deaths?
12180Wilt thou forgive my troubling thee with such visionary stuff?
12180Would any other woman think it so?
12180Wouldst thou think that this varlet Mowbray is sorry that I am so near being happy with Miss Harlowe?
12180You do n''t know, do you, Colonel, that Mr. Lovelace, at all our requests, is disposed to marry the lady?
12180You do n''t look like a hard- hearted gentleman!--How can you thus hunt and persecute a poor lady, whom none of her relations will look upon?
12180You do n''t tell me where she is?
12180You have a young lady lodges here; Miss Harlowe, Madam: Is she above?
12180You have seen what I wrote, no doubt?
12180You never saw me before, did you?
12180Your Lordship has been in Italy, I presume?
12180Your intimacy, Sir, with Mr. Lovelace, and( may I say?)
12180and when will she return?
12180do I want wash- balls?
12180do n''t be afraid-- How long, Sir?
12180for the Lord hath rewarded thee: And why?
12180how can it be?
12180how would they set off one another, and be adorned by the wearer!-- Go to the devil!--I will write!--Can I do anything else?
12180is your''s the new face?
12180more coals upon the fire?
12180or is she gone with Miss Harlowe too?
12180said I, where''s thy pruning- knife?
12180said I; save you from what?
12180said he, what''s here?
12180said he, with his hands and eyes lifted up, can I see her?
12180said she; how kindly are you concerned for me!--Who says I am friendless?
12180so thou wouldst, if thou hadst it on: but thou never wearest thy hat in thy wife''s presence, I believe; dost thou?
12180turning his head this way and that; horror in his countenance; Did you not see him?
12180what will he then think of the poor transitory gratifications of sense, which now engage all his attention?
12180whither fled?
1112''For himself to mar,''quoth''a?
1112''Proud''- and''I thank you''- and''I thank you not''- And yet''not proud''?
1112''When griping grief the heart doth wound, And doleful dumps the mind oppress, Then music with her silver sound''- Why''silver sound''?
1112''Wilt thou not, Jule?''
1112''Yea,''quoth he,''dost thou fall upon thy face?
1112''Yea,''quoth my husband,''fall''st upon thy face?
1112''Your love says, like an honest gentleman,"Where is your mother?"''
1112A cup, clos''d in my true love''s hand?
1112A grave?
1112Ah, dear Juliet, Why art thou yet so fair?
1112Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name When I, thy three- hours wife, have mangled it?
1112Ah, where''s my man?
1112Alack, alack, what blood is this which stains The stony entrance of this sepulchre?
1112Alive in triumph, and Mercutio slain?
1112All this is comfort; wherefore weep I then?
1112Am I come near ye now?
1112Am I like such a fellow?
1112Am I the master here, or you?
1112An honour?
1112And art thou chang''d?
1112And but one word with one of us?
1112And is it not, then, well serv''d in to a sweet goose?
1112And sayest thou yet that exile is not death?
1112And slay thy lady that in thy life lives, By doing damned hate upon thyself?
1112And steep''d in blood?
1112And what to?
1112And why, my Lady Wisdom?
1112Are you so hot?
1112Art thou a man?
1112Art thou gone so, my lord, my love, my friend?
1112Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?
1112Art thou so bare and full of wretchedness And fearest to die?
1112At what o''clock to- morrow Shall I send to thee?
1112Ay, nurse; what of that?
1112Benvolio, who began this bloody fray?
1112But I pray, can you read anything you see?
1112But now, my lord, what say you to my suit?
1112But what say you to Thursday?
1112But where hast thou been then?
1112But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin?
1112By whose direction found''st thou out this place?
1112Came he not home to- night?
1112Can I go forward when my heart is here?
1112Can heaven be so envious?
1112Can vengeance be pursu''d further than death?
1112Can you love the gentleman?
1112Can you not conceive?
1112Can you not stay awhile?
1112Come you to make confession to this father?
1112Come, is the bride ready to go to church?
1112Come, shall we go?
1112Come, what says Romeo?
1112Consort?
1112Did Romeo''s hand shed Tybalt''s blood?
1112Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
1112Did my heart love till now?
1112Did you ne''er hear say, Two may keep counsel, putting one away?
1112Didst thou not fall out with a tailor for wearing his new doublet before Easter, with another for tying his new shoes with an old riband?
1112Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
1112Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
1112Do you like this haste?
1112Do you not see that I am out of breath?
1112Do you note me?
1112Do you quarrel, sir?
1112Dost thou not bring me letters from the friar?
1112Dost thou not laugh?
1112Doth not rosemary and Romeo begin both with a letter?
1112Doth not she think me an old murtherer, Now I have stain''d the childhood of our joy With blood remov''d but little from her own?
1112Doth she not count her blest, Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought So worthy a gentleman to be her bridegroom?
1112Doth she not give us thanks?
1112Evermore show''ring?
1112Evermore weeping for your cousin''s death?
1112Father, what news?
1112Find them out whose names are written here?
1112For what purpose, love?
1112For what, I pray thee?
1112For who is living, if those two are gone?
1112Gentlemen, can any of you tell me where I may find the young Romeo?
1112Good heart, at what?
1112Groan?
1112Ha, banishment?
1112Hadst thou no poison mix''d, no sharp- ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne''er so mean, But''banished''to kill me-''banished''?
1112Hast thou met with him?
1112Hast thou no letters to me from the friar?
1112Hast thou not a word of joy?
1112Hast thou slain Tybalt?
1112Hath Romeo slain himself?
1112Have I thought long to see this morning''s face, And doth it give me such a sight as this?
1112Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
1112Have you delivered to her our decree?
1112Have you got leave to go to shrift to- day?
1112Have you importun''d him by any means?
1112How art thou out of breath when thou hast breath To say to me that thou art out of breath?
1112How cam''st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
1112How canst thou try them so?
1112How doth my lady?
1112How fares my Juliet?
1112How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin- absolver, and my friend profess''d, To mangle me with that word''banished''?
1112How if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo Come to redeem me?
1112How is it with her?
1112How is''t, my soul?
1112How long hath he been there?
1112How long is it now To Lammastide?
1112How long is''t now since last yourself and I Were in a mask?
1112How now, Balthasar?

1112How shall that faith return again to earth Unless that husband send it me from heaven By leaving earth?
1112How should they, when that wise men have no eyes?
1112How, how, how, how, choplogic?
1112How?
1112How?
1112I Pray you, Sir, what saucy merchant was this that was so full of his ropery?
1112I pray, sir, can you read?
1112If thou art fickle, what dost thou with him That is renown''d for faith?
1112In love?
1112Is Romeo slaught''red, and is Tybalt dead?
1112Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken?
1112Is he gone and hath nothing?
1112Is it e''en so?
1112Is it e''en so?
1112Is it good- den?
1112Is love a tender thing?
1112Is my father well?
1112Is she a Capulet?
1112Is she not down so late, or up so early?
1112Is she not proud?
1112Is the day so young?
1112Is there no pity sitting in the clouds That sees into the bottom of my grief?
1112Is this the poultice for my aching bones?
1112Is thy news good or bad?
1112Is your man secret?
1112Is''t so, indeed?
1112Let me be satisfied, is''t good or bad?
1112May not one speak?
1112My dear- lov''d cousin, and my dearer lord?
1112My dear?
1112My noble uncle, do you know the cause?
1112Need you my help?
1112No less?
1112Now, good sweet nurse- O Lord, why look''st thou sad?
1112Now, nurse, what news?
1112Nurse!- What should she do here?
1112Nurse, where''s my daughter?
1112Nurse, will you go with me into my closet To help me sort such needful ornaments As you think fit to furnish me to- morrow?
1112Nurse?
1112O God!- O nurse, how shall this be prevented?
1112O holy friar, O, tell me, holy friar Where is my lady''s lord, where''s Romeo?
1112O honey nurse, what news?
1112O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend In mortal paradise of such sweet flesh?
1112O woe?
1112O, how may I Call this a lightning?
1112O, tell me, friar, tell me, In what vile part of this anatomy Doth my name lodge?
1112O, think''st thou we shall ever meet again?
1112O, what more favour can I do to thee Than with that hand that cut thy youth in twain To sunder his that was thine enemy?
1112O, where is Romeo?
1112O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
1112Of love?
1112On Thursday, sir?
1112One fairer than my love?
1112Or am I mad, hearing him talk of Juliet To think it was so?
1112Or shall we on without apology?
1112Quarrel, sir?
1112Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Profaners of this neighbour- stained steel- Will they not hear?
1112Romeo, will you come to your father''s?
1112Romeo?
1112Said he not so?
1112Saw you him to- day?
1112Shall I be married then to- morrow morning?
1112Shall I believe That unsubstantial Death is amorous, And that the lean abhorred monster keeps Thee here in dark to be his paramour?
1112Shall I not then be stifled in the vault, To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in, And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?
1112Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?
1112Show me a mistress that is passing fair, What doth her beauty serve but as a note Where I may read who pass''d that passing fair?
1112Sin from my lips?
1112Sirrah, what made your master in this place?
1112Spakest thou of Juliet?
1112Speak briefly, can you like of Paris''love?
1112Speak''st thou this from thy heart?
1112Speak, nephew, were you by when it began?
1112Sweet, sweet, Sweet nurse, tell me, what says my love?
1112Tell me in sadness, who is that you love?
1112Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands your disposition to be married?
1112Tell me, good my friend, What torch is yond that vainly lends his light To grubs and eyeless skulls?
1112The fee simple?
1112The heads of the maids?
1112The what?
1112Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste?
1112This afternoon, sir?
1112Thou wilt fall backward when thou comest to age; Wilt thou not, Jule?''
1112Thou wilt fall backward when thou hast more wit; Wilt thou not, Jule?''
1112Tybalt, liest thou there in thy bloody sheet?
1112Tybalt, that murtherer, which way ran he?
1112Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?
1112Uncomfortable time, why cam''st thou now To murther, murther our solemnity?
1112Was I with you there for the goose?
1112Was ever book containing such vile matter So fairly bound?
1112Was that my father that went hence so fast?
1112Wash they his wounds with tears?
1112Wast thou with Rosaline?
1112Well, what was yours?
1112What a pestilent knave is this same?
1112What are they, I beseech your ladyship?
1112What can he say in this?
1112What care I What curious eye doth quote deformities?
1112What counterfeit did I give you?
1112What cursed foot wanders this way to- night To cross my obsequies and true love''s rite?

1112What devil art thou that dost torment me thus?
1112What early tongue so sweet saluteth me?
1112What eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel?
1112What fear is this which startles in our ears?
1112What fray was here?
1112What further woe conspires against mine age?
1112What hast thou found?
1112What hast thou there?
1112What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
1112What if this mixture do not work at all?
1112What is her mother?
1112What is it else?
1112What is the Prince''s doom What sorrow craves acquaintance at my hand That I yet know not?

1112What is there?
1112What is this?
1112What is yond gentleman?
1112What is your will?
1112What less than doomsday is the Prince''s doom?
1112What light through yonder window breaks?
1112What man art thou that, thus bescreen''d in night, So stumblest on my counsel?
1112What mean these masterless and gory swords To lie discolour''d by this place of peace?
1112What misadventure is so early up, That calls our person from our morning rest?

1112What says Romeo?
1112What says he of our marriage?
1112What shall I swear by?
1112What should it be, that they so shriek abroad?
1112What storm is this that blows so contrary?
1112What unaccustom''d cause procures her hither?
1112What villain, madam?
1112What will you give us?
1112What wilt thou tell her, nurse?
1112What wouldst thou have with me?
1112What''s Montague?
1112What''s he that follows there, that would not dance?
1112What''s he that now is going out of door?
1112What''s here?
1112What''s in a name?
1112What''s this?
1112What, Paris too?
1112What, are you busy, ho?
1112What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?
1112What, art thou hurt?
1112What, dares the slave Come hither, cover''d with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?
1112What, dost thou make us minstrels?
1112What, drawn, and talk of peace?

1112What, man?
1112What, not a word?
1112What, shall I groan and tell thee?
1112What, shall this speech be spoke for our excuse?
1112What, still in tears?
1112What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears?
1112What, with a torch?
1112What?
1112Whence come you?

1112Where is my mother?

1112Where shall we dine?
1112Where should she be?
1112Where the devil should this Romeo be?
1112Where''s Potpan, that he helps not to take away?
1112Where''s Romeo''s man?
1112Where''s this girl?
1112Wherefore storm you so?
1112Which way ran he that kill''d Mercutio?
1112Which way?
1112Whither should they come?
1112Whither?
1112Who bare my letter, then, to Romeo?
1112Who calls so loud?
1112Who calls?
1112Who else?
1112Who ever would have thought it?
1112Who is it?
1112Who is''t that calls?
1112Who knocks so hard?
1112Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe?
1112Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach?
1112Who''s there?

1112Why call you for a sword?
1112Why dost thou stay?
1112Why railest thou on thy birth, the heaven, and earth?
1112Why should you fall into so deep an O?
1112Why the devil came you between us?
1112Why''music with her silver sound''?
1112Why, Romeo, art thou mad?
1112Why, how now, Juliet?
1112Why, how now, kinsman?
1112Why, is not this better now than groaning for love?
1112Why, may one ask?
1112Why, what is Tybalt?
1112Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed; Acquaint her here of my son Paris''love And bid her( mark you me?)
1112Will it not be?
1112Will she none?
1112Will you be ready?
1112Will you go to them?
1112Will you pluck your sword out of his pitcher by the ears?
1112Will you speak well of him that kill''d your cousin?
1112Will you tell me that?
1112Wilt thou be gone?
1112Wilt thou provoke me?
1112Wilt thou slay thyself?
1112With Rosaline, my ghostly father?
1112Would''st thou withdraw it?
1112Yea, is the worst well?
1112Yea, noise?
1112Yet''banished''?
1112You will not then?
1112You''ll not endure him?
1112Young Romeo is it?
1112Your love says, like an honest gentleman, and a courteous, and a kind, and a handsome; and, I warrant, a virtuous- Where is your mother?
1112[ aside to Gregory] Is the law of our side if I say ay?
1112[ aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
1112[ to a Servingman] What lady''s that, which doth enrich the hand Of yonder knight?
1112a conduit, girl?
1112and what says My conceal''d lady to our cancell''d love?
1112are you up?
1112drunk all, and left no friendly drop To help me after?
1112or did I dream it so?
1112the cords That Romeo bid thee fetch?
1112turn thy back and run?
1112what day is this?
1112what manners is in this, To press before thy father to a grave?
1112what news?
1112what''s this?
1112what, are you mad?
1112where is my lord?
1112wherefore art thou Romeo?
1112which of you all Will now deny to dance?
9798''As to my charge upon him of unpoliteness and uncontroulableness-- What[ he asks] can he say?
9798''What ails the perverse creature?''
9798***** This man have more terror at seeing me, than I can have at seeing him!--How can that be?
9798A little interruption.--What is breakfast to the subject I am upon?
9798ANGRY!--What should I be angry for?
9798After what I had resolved upon, as by my former, what shall I write?
9798All this violence from you, Miss Clary?
9798And am I to appear before them all?
9798And from whom arises that subject, I pray you?
9798And has he not promised temper and acquiescence, on the supposition of a change in my mind?
9798And have I, but on your account, reason to value what they think?
9798And how do you now, Mr. Hickman?
9798And how must this insolence of his, aggravated as my brother is able to aggravate it, exasperate them against me?
9798And if not, whether she should not marry him as soon as possible?
9798And if not,''Whether I should not marry him as soon as possible?''
9798And if not,''Whether you should not marry him as soon as possible?''
9798And is a brother, an only brother, of so little consideration with you, as this comes to?
9798And is it worthy of your generosity[ I ask you, my dear, is it?]
9798And know you any of the particulars of those sad stories?
9798And my brother''s insolent question comes frequently in, Whether I am not writing a history of my sufferings?
9798And now, my dear, how is it with you?
9798And now, my dear, what shall I conclude upon?
9798And tell me, what argument can you urge, that this true declaration answers not before- hand?
9798And then he fared the better from her, as he always does, for faring worse from me: for there was, How do you now, Sir?
9798And this is your answer, Niece?
9798And this, my dear, is all that Mr. Hickman could pick up about him: And is it not enough to determine such a mind as yours, if not already determined?
9798And what concession she had gained from her dear child to merit this tenderness?
9798And what must that child be, who prefers the rake to a father?
9798And what need you care?
9798And what occasion for the promise, if he had not faults, and those very great ones, to reform?
9798And what then, Brother?
9798And what workman will throw away a sharp tool, because it may cut his fingers?
9798And when you are so well entitled to give them?
9798And who knows but they may have a still earlier day in their intention, than that which will too soon come?
9798And why do they blame her?--Why?
9798And will the pious Clarissa fib to her mamma?
9798And would not you bear with her?--Don''t you love her( what though with another sort of love?)
9798And would you not wish me to judge of your love for her by my own?
9798And would you, in resentment, shew her and the world, that you can voluntarily rush into the highest error that any of our sex can be guilty of?
9798And yet is there any other way than to do as I have done, if I would avoid Solmes?
9798And yet, why was I so affected; since I may be said to have been given up to the cruelty of my brother and sister for many days past?
9798And, besides, can any thing worse be said of Mr. Lovelace, than I have heard said for several months past?
9798And, depend upon it, he will not suffer them quietly to carry you to your uncle''s: And whose must you be, if he succeeds in taking you from them?
9798And, pray, do n''t I bear a great deal from her?--And why?
9798And, rally me as you will, pray tell me fairly, my dear, would it not have had such an effect upon you?
9798And, to see how familiar these men- wretches grow upon a smile, what an awe they are struck into when we frown; who would not make them stand off?
9798Are you, who refuse ever body''s advice, to prescribe a husband to your sister?
9798As how, Betty?
9798As how, Miss Dolly?--Did she not explain herself?--As how, my dear?
9798As it was-- Sir, said I, saw you not some of the servants?--Could not one of them have come in before you?
9798At his going away-- How can I leave you here by yourself, my dear?
9798At last, I asked him, if it were not thought strange I should be so long absent from church?
9798At my expense?--At the price of all my happiness, Sir?
9798Besides, What discredit have I to fear by such a step?
9798Besides, did I not reserve a power of receding, as I saw fit?
9798But for that, I know not what I might do: For who can tell what will come next?
9798But how can we resolve to see you?
9798But if a boisterous temper, when under obligation, is to be thus allowed for, what, when the tables are turned, will it expect?
9798But is not hers the disgrace, more than yours?
9798But is there not more danger from a sharp tool than from a blunt one?
9798But let this be as it will, shall I tell you, how, after all his offences, he may creep in with you again?
9798But tell me, if you can, Is it resolved that I shall be carried to my uncle Antony''s on Thursday?
9798But what a giddy creature shall I be thought, if I pursue the course to which this letter must lead me?
9798But what can be said in the case of an aversion so perfectly sincere?
9798But what condescensions, even from my father, can induce me to make such a sacrifice as is expected from me?
9798But what is the other, Madam?
9798But what would you have said at EIGHTEEN, is the question?
9798But when she was asked, What concession she had brought you to?
9798But who knows what may be the result of my being carried to my uncle Antony''s?
9798But who would wish to drain off or dry up a refreshing current, because it now- and- then puts us to some little inconvenience by its over- flowings?
9798But why should I, who have such real evils to contend with, regard imaginary ones?
9798But why should you, by the nobleness of your mind, throw reproaches upon the rest of the world?
9798But will it not exasperate he more against me?
9798But will you receive, shall you be permitted to receive my letters, after what I have done?
9798But would you expect favours, and grant none?
9798But you tell me, that, in order to gain time, I must palliate; that I must seem to compromise with my friends: But how palliate?
9798But, after all, should I, ought I to meet him?
9798But, how, on this revocation of my appointment, shall I be able to pacify him?
9798But, if it be a rash thing,[ returned she,] should she do it?
9798By whom, Betty?
9798By whose order?
9798Can not such purity in pursuit, in view, restrain him?
9798Can nothing be thought of?
9798Can you stand his displeasure, on first seeing the dear creature who has given him and all of us so much disturbance?
9798Did he learn this infamous practice of corrupting the servants of other families at the French court, where he resided a good while?
9798Did you ever hear of such perverseness, Madam?
9798Do n''t they already think that your non- compliance with their odious measures is owing a good deal to my advice?
9798Do n''t you know where it is written, That soft answers turn away wrath?
9798Do n''t you see how crooked some of my lines are?
9798Do n''t you see, my dear Miss Howe, how they are all determined?--Have I not reason to dread next Tuesday?
9798Do not use those freedoms naturally arise from the subject before us?
9798Do the servants, who, as you observe, see her skittish airs, disrespect you for them?
9798Do they not act in character?--And to whom?
9798Do they not, at such times, look concerned for you?
9798Do you beat me, Bella?
9798Do you call this beating you?
9798Do you then please that I shall hear it?
9798Do you think I could not be permitted to tarry one week longer?
9798Does it not, moreover, manifest a firmness of mind, in an unhappy person, to keep hope alive?
9798Does she suspect that your fervent friendship may lead you to a small indiscretion?
9798Does the man think he is so secure of me, that having appointed, he need not give himself any further concern about me till the very moment?
9798Either, said she, the lady must be thought to have very violent inclinations[ And what nice young creature would have that supposed?]
9798For God''s sake, what, Sir?--How came God''s sake, and your sake, I pray you, to be the same?
9798For have I given the man encouragement sufficient to ground these threats upon?
9798For is not this to suppose myself ever in the right; and all who do not act as I would have them act, perpetually in the wrong?
9798For see you not how irresistible the waves of affliction come tumbling down upon me?
9798Go in before me, child, said Bella,[ vexed to see her concern for me,] with thy sharp face like a new moon: What dost thou cry for?
9798Has what he has said of me, Madam, convinced you of Mr. Lovelace''s baseness?
9798Have I, do you think, a desire to double and treble my own fault in the eye of the world?
9798Have I, or have I not, suffered or borne enough?
9798Have they not prohibited our correspondence upon that very surmise?
9798Have you any thing you are afraid should be seen by your mother?
9798Have you no eyes for this side of the chariot?
9798Have you no new fetch for your uncle Antony?
9798Have you not a Thomas a Kempis, Sister?
9798How can I consent to see him again, when yesterday''s interview was interpreted by you, Madam, as well as by every other, as an encouragement to him?
9798How can I tell, Miss?
9798How can we, when you are resolved not to do what we are resolved you shall do?
9798How can you be so unmoved yourself, yet so able to move every body else?
9798How can you say advanced?
9798How could I avoid making these strong declarations, the man in presence?
9798How could you send such a letter to Mr. Solmes?
9798How do you now, as my mother says to Mr. Hickman, when her pert daughter has made him look sorrowful?
9798How much easier to bear the temporary persecutions I labour under, because temporary, than to resolve to be such a man''s for life?
9798How often, my dear, have you and I endeavoured to detect and censure this partial spirit in others?
9798How seem to compromise?
9798How shall I bear to hear such a creature talk of love to me?
9798How shall I know that?
9798How shall those beauties be valued, which can not be comprehended?
9798How they all gazed upon one another!--But could I be less peremptory before the man?
9798I asked if this was her own insolence, or her young mistress''s observation?
9798I asked my aunt, If it were necessary, that the gentleman should be present?
9798I asked what she would do, were she in my case?
9798I believe he is, Miss-- Would you have him sent for back?
9798I put it to her, in the most earnest manner, to tell me, whether I might not obtain the favour of a fortnight''s respite?
9798I think they seemed to be moving when Mr. Solmes gave me his orders.--But what answer shall I carry to the''squire?
9798I think you have answered Solmes''s letter, as I should have answered it.--Will you not compliment me and yourself at once, by saying, that was right?
9798I to purchase their happiness by the forfeiture of my own?
9798I will hear all that I am to hear; that it may be over now and for ever.--You will go with me, Betty?
9798If I could, did I say?
9798If not, what right have you to treat me thus; and to procure me to be treated as I have been for so long a time past?
9798If persons pretending to principle, bear not their testimony against unprincipled actions, what check can they have?
9798If she be foolish-- what is that owing to?--Is it not to her wit?
9798If the world is unjust or rash, in one man''s case, why may it not be so in another''s?
9798If, Sir, it be suspected, that I have set my heart upon any other, why is Mr. Solmes to give himself any further trouble about me?
9798In short, to make my sake God''s sake, in the sense of Mr. Solmes''s pitiful plea to me?
9798In the first place, let me ask you, my dear, supposing I were inclined to follow your advice, Whom have I to support me in my demand?
9798Is Mr. Solmes gone, Betty?
9798Is it such a mighty matter for a young woman to give up her inclinations to oblige her friends?
9798Is not this cause enough for me to ground a resentment upon, sufficient to justify me for accompanying you; the friendship between us so well known?
9798Is not this usage enough to provoke a rashness never before thought of?
9798Is there, however, no medium?
9798It begins thus: Honoured Sir-- I beg your pardon, Sir, said I: but what, pray, is the intent of reading this letter to me?
9798It may be fancy only on her side; but parents look deeper: And will not Miss Clarissa Harlowe give up her fancy to her parents''judgment?
9798It will be farther tried; of that I am convinced; and what will be their next measure, who can divine?
9798LOVELACE?''
9798LOVELACE?''
9798Let me ask you, If something would have been done, had you been more gently used, than you seem to think you have been?
9798Madam!--How long are we to be at this distance, Clary?
9798Madam, and shaking your head so significantly?
9798Must I not be his, whatever,( on seeing him in a nearer light,) I should find him out to be?
9798Must I, my sweet Cousin?
9798My aunt looked in first; O my dear, said she, are you there?
9798My friends themselves, he says, expect that I will do myself what he calls, this justice: why else do they confine me?
9798My uncle came to me, looking up also to my face, and down to my feet: and is it possible this can be you?
9798Now it is, Why, Miss, do n''t you look up your things?
9798O my beloved creature!--But are not your very excuses confessions of excuses inexcusable?
9798Or shall I embark for Leghorn in my way to my cousin?
9798Pardon me, Madam, I do n''t say you have a hand in it.--But, my dearest Aunt, tell me, Will not my mother be present at this dreaded interview?
9798Questions whether she will not rather choose to go off with one of her own sex than with Lovelace?
9798See you not in her passiveness, what boisterous spirits can obtain from gentler, merely by teasing and ill- nature?
9798Shall I be a pedant, Miss, for this word?
9798Shall I tell you some of the matters charged against him?--shall I, my dear?
9798Shall I tell you-- but why should I?
9798She loves dearly to have weddings go forward!--Who knows, whose turn will be next?
9798She took notice of them-- Why these sighs, why these heavings here?
9798Solmes, why stand you thus humbly?--Why this distance, man?
9798Some of them have been afraid to see me, lest they should be moved in my favour: does not this give a reasonable hope that I may move them?
9798Surely a week would?
9798That the greater their own cowardice, as it would be called in a man, the greater is their delight in subjects of heroism?
9798The ardour with which he vows and promises, I think the heart only can dictate: how else can one guess at a man''s heart?
9798The most admired of our moderns know nothing of this art: Why?
9798The vein is opened-- Shall I let it flow?
9798Then let not Mr. Solmes stay.--Why hold you me thus?
9798Then turning to my uncle, Do you hear, Sir?
9798They wo n''t kill me?
9798This makes me half- afraid to ask you, if you think you are not too cruel, too ungenerous shall I say?
9798This then is the case: They entreat, they pray, they beg, they supplicate( will either of these do, Miss Clary?)
9798To do evil, that good may come of it, is forbidden: And shall I do evil, yet know not whether good may come of it or not?
9798Upon the whole, Madam, said I, can you say, that the inveteracy lies not as much on our side, as on his?
9798Violent girl, however, he called me-- Who, said he, who would have thought it of her?
9798Was I not finely beset, my dear?
9798Was this my spiteful construction?
9798Were I to comply, must I not leave my relations, and go to him?
9798What an honour would it be to him to have such a wife?
9798What are riches, what are settlements, to happiness?
9798What can I advise you to do, my noble creature?
9798What can I do, my dearest Aunt Hervey?
9798What can I do?
9798What can I do?
9798What detriment?
9798What have I done, that I must be banished and confined thus disgracefully?
9798What have I to do with these headstrong spirits?
9798What have you done?--What have you written?
9798What hopes can there be, that a lady will ever esteem, as a husband, the man, whom, as a lover, she despises?
9798What is it, he asks, that he has promised, but reformation by my example?
9798What is there in it, says she, that all this bustle is about?
9798What mean you, Sir,[ struggling vehemently to get away,] to detain me thus against my will?
9798What say you, Mr. Solmes?
9798What say you?
9798What then!--I can but-- But what?
9798What though the contention will be between woman and woman?
9798What will they do, Betty?
9798What will they do?
9798What workman loves not a sharp tool to work with?
9798What would you have had me say, my dear?--I wo n''t tell you what I did say: But had I not said what I did, who would have believed me?
9798What would you have of them?
9798What''s that for?
9798What, Madam, has the man dared to say of me?
9798What, Madam, is now to be done with me?
9798What, pray, Miss, are they?
9798What, taking my hand, can be the matter with you?--Why, my dear, tremble, tremble, tremble, at this rate?
9798Where, asks she[ as you have been asked before], is the praise- worthiness of obedience, if it be only paid in instance where we give up nothing?
9798Whether I am willing or not willing, you mean, I suppose, Mrs. Betty?
9798Whither go you, Niece?
9798Who but pities you, and blames he?
9798Who can forbid tears?
9798Who commands my attendance, Miss?
9798Who is it, then, Madam, that so reluctant an interview on both sides, is to please?
9798Who knows what Tuesday or Wednesday may produce?
9798Who was the old Greek, that said, he governed Athens; his wife, him; and his son, her?
9798Who would not enjoy a power, that is to be short- lived?
9798Who, I, Sir, to find you bowels you naturally have not?
9798Whom now, Clary, said my sister, do you reflect upon?
9798Why should the poor girl be turned out of doors so suddenly, so disgracefully?
9798Why will you send your servant empty- handed?
9798Why, dear, good Sir, am I to be made unhappy in a point so concerning my happiness?
9798Will nothing do, but to have a man who is the more disgustful to me, because he is unjust in the very articles he offers?
9798Will she not so far favour me?
9798Will you doubt, my dear, that my next trial will be the most affecting that I have yet had?
9798Will you give me your hands?
9798Will you go down, Miss Clary, or will you not?
9798Will you see your father?
9798Would a girl, modest as simple, above seventeen, be set a- singing at the pleasure of such a man as that?
9798Would a week?
9798Yet I will ask you, Have you, Miss, no more proposals to make?
9798Yet a club will beat down a sword: And how can you expect that they who are hurt by you will not hurt you again?
9798Yet what can I do?--I believe I shall take it back again the first thing in the morning-- Yet what can I do?
9798Yet why should I be thus uneasy, since, should the letter go, I can but hear what Mr. Lovelace says to it?
9798You are an ungrateful and unreasonable child: Must you have your way paramount to every body''s?
9798You ask me, in a very unbrotherly manner, in the postscript to your letter, if I have not some new proposals to make?
9798You see how determined-- But how can I expect your advice will come time enough to stand me in any stead?
9798Your answer is required, whether you cheerfully consent to go?
9798a stranger, and professedly in disguise!--Would her father and grandmother, if honest people, and careful of their simple girl, permit such freedoms?
9798after this instance of you so lightly dispensing with your promise?
9798and does this suspicion offend you?
9798and that to be withdrawn, whenever I disoblige him?
9798and when I am determined never to encourage him?
9798as well as I do?
9798because they think you merit better treatment at her hands: And is not this to your credit?
9798could escape you penetrating eye?
9798cries one:--''Is she love- sick?''
9798he asked-- Was this the interpretation I put upon his brotherly care of me, and concern for me, in order to prevent my ruining myself?
9798how could my uncle Harlowe so dissemble?]
9798in the eye of that world which, cruelly as I am used,( not knowing all,) would not acquit me?
9798in your behaviour to a man who loves you so dearly, and is so worthy and so sincere a man?
9798is it to make thy keen face look still keener?
9798might not I be obliged with one week, without such a horrid condition as the last?
9798no answer, my dear?--Why so much silent grief?
9798nor how much nobler it is to forgive, and even how much more manly to despise, than to resent, an injury?
9798not if your father or mother command it-- Girl?
9798particularly, upon your own family-- and upon ours too?
9798repeated I: and this from my aunt Hervey?
9798said I-- Had not Mr. Solmes a view in this?
9798said I-- Have you not been in tears, my dear?
9798said my aunt-- Could I have thought a brother would have said this, to a gentleman, of a sister?
9798said my uncle, withdrawing his hands from mine: Could I ever have thought of this from you?
9798said she, patting my neck-- O my dear Niece, who would have thought so much natural sweetness could be so very unpersuadable?
9798silent still?--But, Clary, wo n''t you have a velvet suit?
9798that my cousin Morden-- But what signifies wishing?
9798to think of taking so undutiful a step, because you believe your mother would be glad to receive you again?
9798to what end, Sir?--Do I contend for any thing more than a mere negative?
9798what can I?
9798when I myself declared, that if I saw him a second time by my own consent, it might be so taken?
9798who knows what?
9798with a look of pity, as if she understood the meaning of my exclamation-- But must that necessarily be the case?
9296''But if she should be blameless, Madam, how does your own supposition condemn them?''
9296''How will my son, how will my nephew, take this or that measure?
9296''Let me ask you, my dear, said she, how you now keep your account of the disposition of your time?
9296''What did the man mean, she wondered?
9296( But what have I done to myself, to make such a supposition?)
9296** What is it, as she says, that she has not sacrificed to peace?--Yet, has she by her sacrifices always found the peace she has deserved to find?
9296--What could be the reading he has been said to be master of, to wonder, as he did, at these observations?
9296--for who danced, who sung, who touched the string, whatever the instrument, with a better grace than thy friend?
9296A value that can have no merit with the unhappy object of it, because it is attended with effects so grievous to her?
9296A wrong head may be convinced, may have a right turn given it: but who is able to give a heart, if a heart be wanting?
9296Again interrupted!--Am I to be questioned, and argued with?
9296Am not I to live with the man?
9296And do they not make use of your own generosity to oppress you?
9296And even in this point you must be mistaken: For, would a prudent man wish to marry one who has not a heart to give?
9296And have I any encouragement to follow too implicitly the example which my mother sets of meekness, and resignedness to the wills of others?
9296And have you not before now said, that nothing is so penetrating as the eye of a lover who has vanity?
9296And hence, Sir, retorted I, your unbrotherly reflections upon me?
9296And how shall I look upon my awful judges?
9296And how was this to be done, after such a declaration from both my uncles?
9296And is it not your right?
9296And is it you?
9296And now, my dear, let me ask you, Have I come up to your expectation?
9296And so I will, said she-- Did you not bewitch my grandfather?
9296And so in the royal style( for am I not likely to be thy king and thy emperor in the great affair before us?)
9296And so, Clary, it is nothing to him, or to me, is it, that our sister shall disgrace her whole family?
9296And this, said I, is all I have to hope for from my Mamma?
9296And what less did the world think of me now, he asked, than that I was confined that I might not?
9296And what my motive, dost thou ask?
9296And what was this, more than I had offered before?
9296And what, Clary, mean you by that?
9296And when that reason offers, is it not just to express one''s self accordingly?
9296And while he has any, can we be easy or free from his insults?
9296And who says Lovelace wants vanity?
9296And who, besides, can bear to be made the dupe of such low cunning, operating with such high and arrogant passions?
9296And why do n''t you go on, Clary?
9296And why may I not think that I am now put upon a proper exercise of it?
9296And why was it, do you think?
9296And why?
9296And will you give up nothing?
9296And yet, my dear, this may be his usual manner of behaviour to our sex; for had not my sister at first all his reverence?
9296And yet, why say I, I am half ashamed?--Is it not a glory to love her whom every one who sees her either loves, or reveres, or both?
9296Are you in earnest?
9296As to your question, Why your elder sister may not be first provided for?
9296At last, I asked, if it were his pleasure that I should pour him out another dish?
9296At worst, will he confine me prisoner to my chamber?
9296Ay, Clary, put in my sister, what say you to Mr. Wyerley?
9296Bless me, said I to myself, what a sister have I!--How have I deserved this?
9296But I more wonder, how he came to have a notion of meeting me in this place?
9296But I suppose then you will have no objection to see and converse, on a civil footing, with Mr. Solmes-- as your father''s friend, or so?
9296But are not these orders a tacit confession, that they think his own merit will not procure him respect?
9296But can it be, that such a lady, such a sister, such a wife, such a mother, has no influence in her own family?
9296But do you think I will rob my sister of her humble servant?
9296But does he not avow his passion?
9296But how can you expect, when there must be a concession on one side, that it should be on theirs?
9296But if I could not, how can you expect to prevail?
9296But is it not a confounded thing to be in love with one, who is the daughter, the sister, the niece, of a family, I must eternally despise?
9296But is it not a sad thing, I repeat, to be obliged to stand in opposition to the will of such a mother?
9296But let me examine myself: Is not vanity, or secret love of praise, a principal motive with me at the bottom?--Ought I not to suspect my own heart?
9296But now I think of it, suppose you are the reader at your pen than he-- You will make the more useful wife to him; wo n''t you?
9296But pray, is not this estate our estate, as we may say?
9296But supposing it to be true that all his vacant nightly hours are employed in writing, what can be his subjects?
9296But that it could be for Solmes, how should it enter into my head?
9296But then recollecting myself, is there not more in it, said I, than the result of a vein so naturally lively?
9296But this is a point you will not permit me to expatiate upon: pardon me therefore, and I have done.--Yet, why should I say, pardon me?
9296But was it not a little hard upon me, to be kept from blazing on a Sunday?--And to be hindered from my charitable ostentations?
9296But what call you dutiful?
9296But what is person, Clary, with one of your prudence, and your heart disengaged?
9296But what shall I do with this Lovelace?
9296But what then can I plead for a palliation to myself of my mother''s sufferings on my account?
9296But where is Hannah?
9296But whither roves my pen?
9296But who can be worthy of a Clarissa?
9296But whoever was in fault, self being judge?
9296But will it be just, will it be honest, to marry a man I can not endure?
9296But will not t''other man flame out, and roar most horribly, upon the snatching from his paws a prey he thought himself sure of?
9296But''tis a cursed deceiver; for it has many a time imposed upon its master-- Master, did I say?
9296But, Sir, if I am prepossessed, what has Mr. Solmes to hope for?--Why should he persevere?
9296But, pray now-- is it saying so much, when one, who has no very particular regard to any man, says, there are some who are preferable to others?
9296But, to pass that by-- so much engaged!--How much, my dear?--Shall I infer?
9296But, why, dearest Madam, why am I, the youngest, to be precipitated into a state, that I am very far from wishing to enter into with any body?
9296Can I be honest, if I give a hope that I can not confirm?
9296Can not I speak with the poor girl?
9296Can you think such usage, and to such a young lady, is to be borne?
9296Can you wonder, then, that they should embrace the first opportunity that offered, to endeavour to bring you down to their level?
9296Contrive it, did I say?
9296Could any thing be pleasing to him, that you did not say or do?
9296Could you, my dear, have shewn more spirit?
9296Did not this deserve a severe return?
9296Did not your father himself some days ago tell you, he would be obeyed?
9296Did you think I could scold, my dear?
9296Do I want any thing of any body for my own sake?--Does my brother John?--Well, then, Cousin Clary, what would you be at, as I may say?
9296Do n''t you remember how he stared at the following trite observations, which every moralist could have furnished him with?
9296Do you hear, sister Clary?
9296Do you justify duelling at all?
9296Do you so understand the license you have, Miss?
9296Do you think they can use you worse than they do?
9296Does he believe, that the disgrace which I supper on his account, will give him a merit with me?
9296Does not his own sister live unhappily, for want of a little of his superfluities?
9296Does that( pert cousin) make it out that he does not love you?
9296Dreadful alternative-- But is not my sincerity, is not the integrity of my heart, concerned in the answer?
9296For did you ever give up any thing?
9296For me, do you mean, Clary?
9296For must not each of you, by the constitutions of your family, marry to be still richer?
9296Have I not made a very fair proposal as to Mr. Lovelace?
9296Have I not told you there is no receding; that the honour as well as the interest of the family is concerned?
9296Have we not all an interest in it, and a prior right, if right were to have taken place?
9296Have you not refused as many as have been offered to you?
9296Have you the least doubt about what must be the issue of this correspondence, if continued?
9296He an honest man?
9296He is allowed to be brave: Who ever knew a brave man, if a brave man of sense, an universally base man?
9296His a good mind, Madam?
9296How can I tell it you?
9296How can you tell me your heart is free?
9296How can your Anna Howe have such a thought?--What then shall we call it?
9296How comes this man to know so well all our foibles?
9296How dare a perverse girl take these liberties with relations so very respectable, and whom she highly respects?
9296How many hours in the twenty- four do you devote to your needle?
9296How many to letter- writing?
9296How many to your prayers?
9296How shall I stand the questions of some, the set surliness of others, the returning love of one or two?
9296How so, I asked him, when that can not wound without the application?
9296How then can she be so impenetrable?
9296I am afraid you will condemn my warmth: But does not the occasion require it?
9296I asked her once, if she were pleased with the tea?
9296I asked him, If he valued himself upon having a head better turned than theirs for such works, as he called them?
9296I besought her to stay: One favour, but one favour, dearest Madam, said I, give me leave to beg of you-- What would the girl?
9296I made no reply; for what could I say?
9296I must now go down, and make a report, that you are resolved never to have Mr. Solmes-- Must I?--Consider, my dear Miss Clary-- Must I?
9296I was moving to go up-- And will you go up, Clary?
9296I went on, supplicating for my mother''s favourable report: Nothing but invincible dislike, said I-- What would the girl be at, interrupted my mother?
9296If it were, to whom could I appeal with effect against a husband?
9296If you do, Madam, can you think confinement and ill usage is the way to prevent the apprehended rashness?
9296If you really value me, as my friends would make me believe, and as you have declared you do, must it not be a mean and selfish value?
9296If your estate is convenient for him, what then?
9296Is any body else?
9296Is it you, my meek sister Clary?
9296Is my presence an exception to the bold creature?
9296Is she not for ever obliged( as she was pleased to hint to me) to be of the forbearing side?
9296Is the want of reward, or the want even of a grateful acknowledgement, a reason for us to dispense with what we think our duty?
9296It is needless to say any thing to you, who have so sincere any antipathy to him, to strengthen your dislike: Yet, who can resist her own talents?
9296It was rather a mark of his affection, than any advantage to me: For, do I either seek or wish to be independent?
9296It would be an affront to your own judgment, if you did not: For do you not ask my advice?
9296Let me ask you, child, if you will give your pretty proposal in writing?
9296May I be permitted to mention an expedient?--''If I am to be watched, banished, and confined; suppose, Sir, it were to be at your house?''
9296May I not see the honest creature, and pay her her wages?
9296May I, Madam, be permitted to expostulate?-- To what purpose expostulate with me, Clarissa?
9296May not my everlasting happiness be the sacrifice?
9296May not this strange method rather harden than convince?
9296May not, however, so deep a sufferer be permitted to speak out?
9296My extravagancies, Bella!--But did my father ever give me any thing he did not give you?
9296No, not to Miss Howe, Madam, tauntingly: for have you not acknowledged, that Lovelace is a favourite there?
9296Norton!--[You may guess who said this] Will she, or will she not, comply with her parents''will?
9296Not to Miss Howe?
9296Now seest thou not, how many good ends this contrivance answers?
9296O Madam, what can I say to questions so indulgently put?
9296O thou determined girl!--But say-- Speak out-- Are you resolved to stand in opposition to us all, in a point our hearts are set upon?
9296Pray, my dear, be so good as to tell me, What man of a great and clear estate would think of that eldest sister, while the younger were single?
9296Pretty mopsy- eyed soul!--was her expression!--And was it willing to think it had still a brother and sister?
9296Shall I conduct your Ladyship down?
9296Shall I not therefore be allowed to judge for myself, whether I can, or can not, live happily with him?
9296Shall I, Clary, said she, shall I tell your father that these prohibitions are as unnecessary as I hoped they would be?
9296She asked me, upon my turning from her, if she should not say any thing below of my compliances?
9296She desired to be informed, in the name of every body, was her word, what I was determined upon?
9296She owned, that the man was not the most desirable of men; and that he had not the happiest appearance: But what, said she, is person in a man?
9296She, kindly saluting me, said, Why this distance to your aunt, my dear, who loves you so well?
9296Should it be ever so unhappily, will it be prudence to complain or appeal?
9296Should not one fly the man who is but suspected of such a one?
9296Should not they make a common cause of it, as I may say, a cause of sex, on such occasions as the present?
9296So I shall suffer: And in what will the rash man have benefited himself, or mended his prospects?
9296So turning from me, she spoke with quickness, Whither now, Clary Harlowe?
9296So we think, whatever you think: and whose thoughts are to be preferred?
9296Solmes?--Rather than give me hope?
9296Solmes?--Will not that refusal be to give him hope?
9296Tell me why you call it a reflection?--What did I say?
9296Tell me, Bella, if my mamma will condescend to see me?
9296Tell me, Clary, and tell me truly-- Do you not continue to correspond with Mr. Lovelace?
9296That you know your duty, and will not offer to controvert his will?
9296The good woman asked, Whether she was permitted to expostulate with them upon the occasion, before she came up to me?
9296The object so meritorious, who can doubt the reality of his professions?
9296Then addressing himself to me: And how do you find it, Miss?
9296Then he will always be in expectation while you are single: and we are to live on at this rate( are we?)
9296Then you do n''t think him so?
9296This was not ungenerously said: But what will not these men say to obtain belief, and a power over one?
9296Thou art a provoking creature-- But what say you to two or three duels of that wretch''s?
9296Thou art curious to know, if I have not started a new game?
9296Thus are my imputed good qualities to be made my punishment; and I am to wedded to a monster--[ Astonishing!--Can this, Clarissa, be from you?
9296Was not this very intimidating, my dear?
9296Was not this very spiteful, my dear?
9296We all, indeed, once thought your temper soft and amiable: but why was it?
9296Well but, methinks you say, what is all this to the purpose?
9296Were even your brother in fault, as that fault can not be conquered, is a sister to carry on a correspondence that shall endanger her brother?
9296What a name have you got, at a less expense?
9296What an unhappy situation is that which obliges her, in her own defence as it were, to expose their failings?
9296What can I do, Madam?--What can I do?
9296What can I do?
9296What can I say?
9296What could I do but weep?
9296What did I think of Mr. Wyerley?
9296What did you do, that we did not endeavour to do?--And what was all this for?
9296What encouragement for duty is this?--Have I not loved her as well as ever you did?
9296What excuse can be made for his haughty and morose temper?
9296What is the matter with Hannah?
9296What is to follow?
9296What must have been her treatment, to be thus subjugated, as I may call it?
9296What must that cause be that will not bear being argued upon?
9296What must we think of any one of it, who would not promote the good of the whole?
9296What reason then, ungenerous girl, can you have for arguing with me thus, but because you think from my indulgence to you, you may?
9296What say you, my love?
9296What shall I get by it, let things go as they will?
9296What then is this narrow selfishness that reigns in us, but relationship remembered against relationship forgot?
9296What think you was the return?
9296What tho''his mighty soul his grief contains?
9296What will he say to it?
9296What would you say, were I to treat you as Miss Harlowe''s father and mother treat her?
9296What''s all that to an estate in possession, and left you with such distinctions, as gave you a reputation of greater value than the estate itself?
9296What, Madam, to give him hope?--To give hope to Mr. Solmes?
9296What, Miss, will you please to have for breakfast?
9296What, but ringing my changes upon the same bells, and neither receding nor advancing one tittle?
9296What, is this you?
9296What, my dear, if her meekness should not be rewarded?
9296What, think you, makes me bear Hickman near me, but that the man is humble, and knows and keeps his distance?
9296When I returned, my uncle Antony asked me, how I should like Mr. Lovelace?
9296When so little ceremony is made with me, why should I not speak out?--Did he not seek to kill the other, if he could have done it?
9296When your grandfather left his estate to you, though his three sons, and a grandson, and your elder sister, were in being, we all acquiesced: and why?
9296Who can command or foresee events?
9296Who can not esteem him?
9296Who told you Mr. Solmes can not read and write?
9296Who, indeed, as you say, if this be so, would marry, that can live single?
9296Who, that has once trespassed with them, ever recovered his virtue?
9296Why not?
9296Why should I be deprived of all comfort, but that which the hope that it would be a very short one, would afford me?
9296Why should not there be something in blood in the human creature, as well as in the ignobler animals?
9296Why will these wise parents, by saying too much against the persons they dislike, put one upon defending them?
9296Why, I pray you, good Sir, should I be made miserable for life?
9296Why, Niece, if there be not any such hopes, I presume you do n''t think yourself absolved from the duty due from a child to her parents?
9296Why, as I often say to myself, was such a man as this Solmes fixed upon?
9296Will he bear, do you think, to be thus dialogued with?
9296Will he deny me the visits of my dearest friend, and forbid me to correspond with her?
9296Will he set a servant over me, with license to insult me?
9296Will he take from me the mistressly management, which I had not faultily discharged?
9296Will not the least shadow of the hope you just now demanded from me, be driven into absolute and sudden certainty?
9296Will not what I have offered be accepted?
9296Will she, or will she not, be Mrs. Solmes?
9296Will you forgive me; and let me find a sister in you, as I am sorry, if you had reason to think me unsisterly in what I have said?
9296Will you go down, and humble that stubborn spirit of yours to your mamma?
9296Would you have me, Madam, make him desperate?
9296Wyerley''s again?--or whose?
9296Yet tell me, are your affections engaged to this man?
9296Yet what did you say, that we could not have said?
9296Yet why should Shorey( except officiously to please her principals) make a report in his disfavour?
9296You are going to question me, I suppose, why your sister is not thought of for Mr. Solmes?
9296You ask, Why may not your brother be first engaged in wedlock?
9296You know your father has made it a point; and did he ever give up one he thought he had a right to carry?
9296Your aunt Hervey, you say,* has told you: Why must I ask you to let me know them, when you condescend to ask my advice on the occasion?
9296[ Are not all estates stewardships, my dear?]
9296[ bristling up to me]--Tell me what you mean by that reflection?
9296[ changing her sneering tone to an imperious one] But do you think you can humble yourself to go down to your mamma?
9296[ following me, and taking my struggling hand] What?
9296let me repeat: Is that a small point, my dear Uncle, to give up?
9296my love!--But what shall we do about the terms Mr. Solmes offers?
9296not vouchsafe to answer me?
9296repeated my aunt-- So, Miss Clary, I see how it is-- I will go down--[Miss Harlowe, shall I follow you?]
9296that gave it you before us all?--Well then, ought we not to have a choice who shall have it in marriage with you?
9296turn your back upon me too!--Shall I bring up your mamma to you, love?
9296when I love you, as never woman loved another?
9296when your concerns are my concerns?
9296when your honour is my honour?
9296who can be patient under such treatment?
10799''But has goody Moore any other lodgings to let?''
10799''What are our affairs to him?
10799''Wife, Lovelace?''
10799* Might she be assured, she asked him, that her brother, with Singleton and Solmes, were actually in quest of her?
10799* Was it not easy then, thinkest thou, to contrive a shorter letter out of a longer; and to copy the very words?
10799** and before Mrs. Sinclair, and her household, and Miss Partington?
10799*** A gentleman to speak with me, Dorcas?--Who can want me thus early?
10799*** Is all ready, Dorcas?
10799*** Well, Jack!--And what thinkest thou of this last letter?
10799***--And yet why fly I from subjects that, duly considered, might tend to correct and purify my heart?
10799**--And do not I know that it is?
10799-- And what is there so very greatly amiss, AS THE WORLD GOES, in all this?
10799--Was not this a bold put, Jack?
10799--Whither does that path lead?
10799--in this Tomlinson?
10799>>> And thus situated, should he offer greater free- doms, must you not forgive him?
10799>>> But can I think[ you will ask with indignant astonishment] that Lovelace can have designs upon your honour?
10799Absolutely resolved, Madam?
10799All sweetly blushing and confounded-- I know how she will look!--But why should she, the sufferer, be ashamed, when I, the trespasser, am not?
10799And I am truly afraid, that his very generosity is more owing to his pride and his vanity, that that philanthropy( shall I call it?)
10799And I thought I felt drops of scalding water[ could they be tears?]
10799And are we not told, that in being well deceived consists the whole of human happiness?
10799And as to trying her, is she not now in the height of her trial?
10799And can not I, as I have often said, reward her when I will by marriage?
10799And can there, after all, be a higher piece of justice, than to keep one smuggler in readiness to play against another?
10799And can you refuse to ratify your own promise?
10799And do not your sprightly ladies love your smart fellow, and your rakes?
10799And does he imagine, said she, that I could be brought to countenance to them the report you have given out?
10799And freely?
10799And has not my own heart deceived me, when I thought it did not?
10799And how can I receive a visit that must depress me more?
10799And how could I do this better, than by dialoguing a little with him before them?
10799And if she do, may she not forgive the last attempt?--Can she, in a word, resent that more than she does this?
10799And if so, to whom shall I be accountable for what I do to them?
10799And in the protection they offer you, if you are dissatisfied with mine?
10799And is it not in my own power still, by the Divine favour, to secure the greatest stake of all?
10799And is it not now fairly come to-- Who shall most deceive and cheat the other?
10799And is not the widow Bevis my fast friend?
10799And is not your friendship the pride of my life?
10799And is not your friendship the pride of my life?
10799And may not this very contrivance save a world of mischief?
10799And now, Belford, was it not worth while to be sick?
10799And pray, Sir, what is it?
10799And shall such a sneaking passion as this, which can be so easily gratified by viler objects, be permitted to debase the noblest?
10799And shall that of a Clarissa swell the guilty list?
10799And should not my beloved, for her own sake, descend, by degrees, from goddess- hood into humanity?
10799And should she not have charity for me, as I have for her?
10799And that then she may assist privately at your nuptials?
10799And the rather, as the maid told us, that the lady had asked her if such a gentleman[ describing him] was not in the parlour?
10799And then, if there be as much flaming love between these girls as they pretend, will my charmer profit by her escape?
10799And to her''s and to the honour of her sex, if I cannot?--Where then will be the hurt to either, to make the trial?
10799And what dost think was the matter?
10799And what have I to fear from my brother and sister?
10799And what is the sum of the present argument; but that had I not been a villain in her sense of the word, she had not been such an angel?
10799And what must be that love, that has not some degree of purity for its object?
10799And what right has a petitioner to be angry at a repulse, if he has not a right to demand what he sues for as a debt?
10799And what, Sir, said my mother?
10799And what, pray, Captain, was your advice?
10799And what, pray, must be the issue, when her uncle''s friend comes, although he seems to be a truly worthy man?
10799And who knows but it may be the better for the lady the less she makes necessary?
10799And who knows but she may?
10799And whose property, I pray thee, shall I invade, if I pursue my schemes of love and vengeance?
10799And why may it not rather be a servant of your cousin Morden, with notice of his arrival, and of his design to attend you?
10799And why should it be thought strange, that I, who love them so dearly, and study them so much, should catch the infection of them?
10799And why, dearest creature, said I, must every thing that happens, which we can not immediately account for, be what we least wish?
10799And why?
10799And will he not pursue his intentions in my favour, nor be himself reconciled to me, except I am married?
10799And will it not look well to have a lodger who keeps his chariot?
10799And will you be so good as to allow of this, Mr. Lovelace?
10799And will you look upon me to- morrow as if nothing had passed?
10799And wouldest thou think it?
10799And, as the sting of this reflection will sharpen upon me, if I recover her not, how shall I ever be able to bear it?
10799And, in either case, will not the remembrance of thy ever- during guilt, and transitory triumph, be a torment of torments to thee?
10799Another of her feints, I suppose: for how, or with whom, could any thing of this sort have been concerted since yesterday morning?
10799Are not all our engines in readiness?
10799Are we to form our opinion of things by the romantic notions of a girl, who supposes that to be the greatest which is the slightest of evils?
10799As to my spouse herself, has she not reason to be pleased with me for having permitted her to receive Miss Howe''s letter from Wilson''s?
10799Briefly, whether you are actually, and bonâ fide, married to Miss Clarissa Harlowe?
10799But I ask him, how he can already expect any mark of deference or politeness from you?
10799But as to this letter, methinkest thou sayest, of Miss Howe?
10799But did not I tell thee that I had provided for every thing?
10799But did not the sweet soul deserve this turn upon her, for feloniously resolving to rob me of herself, had the application made by Hickman succeeded?
10799But didst thou think, Jack, that there was so much-- What- shall- I- call- it?
10799But if I answer that I am, what then?
10799But if there be infection in that house, how has my beloved escaped it?
10799But if this is so, what,[ it would be asked by an indifferent person,] has hitherto saved you?
10799But let me ask you one previous question-- Do you know Colonel Morden, Sir?
10799But let me see, shall I be angry or pleased when I am admitted to my beloved''s presence?
10799But seest thou not that I have a claim of merit for a grace that every body hitherto had denied me?
10799But suppose you desire to go out of town for the air, this sultry weather, and insist upon it?
10799But this effect of her joy on such an occasion gives me a high notion of what that virtue must be[ What other name can I call it?]
10799But this, indeed, may be said of all worldly delights.--And is not that a grave reflection from me?
10799But was it improper to ask for copies of my proposals, and of her answer, in order to show them to his dear friend, her uncle?
10799But what advantages do I give thee?
10799But what am I about?
10799But what indeed is an imperial crown itself when a man is used to it?
10799But whither, whither, my dearest love, would you go!--Think you not that I will follow you, were it to the world''s end!--Whither would you go?
10799But why must the faults of other people be laid at my door?
10799But why, Jack, is this dear creature so lovely, yet so invincible?--Ever heardst thou before that the sweets of May blossomed in December?
10799But why, my dear, should these men( for Mr. Lovelace is not singular in this) think themselves above giving these beautiful proofs of a feeling heart?
10799But why?
10799But would it not be better to show her uncle the draught of the settlements, when drawn?
10799But, Madam, can not a body just peep into the other apartment; that I may be more particular to my wife in the furniture of it?
10799But, my dear, will you be pleased to consider what answer half a dozen people whence you came, could give to your question?
10799But, pray, Sir, to the immediate purpose of your present commission; since a commission it seems to be?
10799But, to be insulted and defied by a rebel in one''s power, what prince can bear that?
10799But, when I have no such hope, is it right[ you are a serious man, Sir] to make a venture that shall endanger my own morals?
10799Can not I steal to some neighbouring house, where I may be concealed till I can get quite away?
10799Can you take no pleasure in the promised visit of Lady Betty and my cousin Montague?
10799Canst thou be more abandoned than they?
10799Captain Devilson, what care I?--Do you see how you have disordered your lady?
10799Captain Tomlinson, sayest thou?
10799Could the dear creature put Dorcas upon telling this fib, yet want to save me one?
10799Dear Ladies, is there no back- door for me to get out at while you hold him in talk?
10799Devil, as these girls between them call me, what of devil am I, but in my contrivances?
10799Did I court her at first with the allowance of her friends, her brother excepted?
10799Did I not generously spare her, when in my power?
10799Did you never go out by your- self, and discharge the coach or chair, and return>>> by another coach or chair?
10799Didst thou imagine that such a fellow as that had bowels?
10799Do I doubt, Sir, that you have not something to say for any thing you think fit to do?
10799Do n''t I look devilishly down and concerned, Landlord?
10799Do n''t you see, Madam, that your uncle wishes to find that we are married?
10799Do not the lovers, when mutual consent awaits their wills, retire to coverts, and to darkness, to complete their wishes?
10799Do they not both deserve it of me?
10799Do you know anything of Colonel Morden, friend?
10799Do you know such a man as Captain Tomlinson, my dearest life,[ aside,] your uncle''s friend?
10799Do you think I may not insist upon her absolving me from this abominable oath?
10799Does she not invade my province, thinkest thou?
10799Dost think, Jack, that my face did not now also shine?
10799Early riser as I am, how could he think to find me up thus early?
10799For am I not a smart fellow, and a rake?
10799For had not the dear creature already passed for my wife before no less than four worthy gentlemen of family and fortune?
10799Good lack-- good lack!--What may be her story then, I pray?
10799H.*** Now, Belford, what canst thou say in behalf of this sweet rogue of a lady?
10799Habit, habit, Jack, seest thou not?
10799Had I a rencounter with that brother?
10799Had I not a cursed task of it?
10799Had I not given a flagrant proof of this to the once most indulgent of parents?
10799Had not that contrivance its effect at that time, for a procrastination?
10799Had you not better see him?
10799Has he not given you a flagrant specimen of what a man he is, and of what his is capable, by the disguises you saw him in?
10799Has my beloved kept her word with me?--Whether are these billowy heavings owing more to love or to fear?
10799Has she not broken her promise?
10799Hast thou a mind tot see what it was I permitted Miss Howe to write to her lovely friend?
10799Have I not enow of my own?
10799Have I not often said, that human nature is a rogue?
10799Have I not reason to think that she is coming about?
10799Have I not said that human nature is a rogue?
10799Have I not told thee our whole story?
10799Have not those who have a right to her renounced that right?
10799Have they not wilfully exposed her to dangers?
10799Have you more to say than has been said?
10799Have you no wish to see your uncle''s friend?
10799Have you not been in the army?
10799He has promised to keep from your uncle what has happened: but what will he think if he find you hold in this strange humour?
10799He should have been quite angry-- For what gave I him the nod positive?
10799Heartily?
10799Her senses, thought I, are much livelier than mine.--What a devil have I done, that she should be so very implacable?
10799How came she,( thought I, at the instant,) by all this penetration?
10799How can that be?
10799How did the dear creature look, Dorcas?
10799How do you, Mr. Lovelace?
10799How does she look?
10799How goes it with thy uncle?
10799How happy should I think myself to be admitted into their correspondence?
10799How meanly must thou think of her, that thou couldst presume to be so guilty, and expect her to be so weak as to forgive thee?
10799How oddly things come about!--But does any other of the Harlowes know where we are?
10799How often, in the past twelve hours, have I wished that I could cry most confoundedly?
10799I am loth to reproach myself, now the cruel creature has escaped me; For what would that do, but add to my torment?
10799I asked, if she approved of the settlements?
10799I begged excuse for sitting down, and asked, who was the minister of the place?
10799I had a gentle reprimand for this light turn on so heavy an evil--''For what was the loss of beauty to the loss of a good husband?''
10799I hoped she had no objection to my bringing that lady and my cousin Montague up with me?
10799I know the world; and will take the liberty to say, that if the young lady-- Captain Tomlinson, I think you are called?
10799I started, and, in a haughty tone, is this, Sir, a question that must be answered before you can proceed in the business you have undertaken?
10799I told thee, Belford, all I did: Was there any thing in it so very much amiss?
10799I wait here only for a letter from Miss Howe-- that must determine me-- Determine you as to Mr. Lovelace, Madam?
10799I was the affected with it, as I am afraid it was occasioned by the violent contentions between us.--But was I in fault?
10799I was to mistrust myself, was I?
10799If I have not your pardon before Captain Tomlinson comes to town, what shall I say to him?
10799If he were a good preacher?
10799If it be pride that restrains her, ought not that pride to be punished?
10799If my advocate had nothing to say for me, what hope of carrying my cause?
10799If shame, what a shame to be ashamed to communicate to her adorer''s sight the most admirable of her personal graces?
10799If you are absolutely determined, be pleased to let me know what I shall say to your uncle?
10799In what, then, am I so singularly vile?
10799Indeed I heard him talking, thought not what he said, and am indifferent about it.--But what account does he give of himself?
10799Indeed for all you have to spare-- For who knows what my spouse''s brother may attempt?
10799Is it policy to show so open a resentment for innocent liberties, which, in her situation, she must so soon forgive?
10799Is not one country as good to me as another, if I should be obliged to take another tour upon it?
10799Is not thy uncle dead yet?
10799Is she not an Harlowe?
10799Is she not now yielding up her resentment for an attempt which she thinks she ought not to forgive?
10799Is there no possibility of getting to a coach?
10799Is this an answer to my question?
10799Is this deified passion, in its greatest altitudes, fitted to stand the day?
10799Is this the design of your flattering speeches?
10799Is this the forgiveness that was the condition of my obedience?
10799It is necessary that I should answer?
10799It is not that I shall be of party against myself?
10799Lay your hand upon your heart, and answer me, am I your wedded wife?
10799Let me ask any rake in England, if, resolving to carry his point, he would have been so long about it?
10799Let me beg of you-- What askest thou?
10799May I not re- appeal this to your own breast, as well as to Captain Tomlinson''s treaty and letter?
10799May not the ceremony be privately over, before his mediation can take place?
10799Miss Howe''s answer to my last unreceived?--And shall I, Sir, be in such a HURRY, as if I thought my honour in danger if I delayed?
10799Miss R. Give me leave to ask you, Madam, Is there no room to hope for accommodation?
10799Mutual obligation is the very essence and soul of the social and commercial life:--Why should she be exempt from it?
10799My dearest life!--Do you think that he would disapprove of the terms I have offered?
10799My heart was perfectly easy, how could my stomach be otherwise?
10799Need they know all that passes between my relations and you and me?
10799No, Madam, that''s true, if she be good- humoured, as you say-- Has she been with you long, Madam?
10799Not for my own sake, you know, did I wish you to take it; for what is it to me, if I am never reconciled to your family?
10799Not in the way, said I!--Whither can the dogs be gone?
10799Nothing can happen amiss, thou sorrowful dog!--What can happen amiss?
10799Now- a- days!--A fool!--Have not her history- books told her that they were always so?
10799O Jack, with such an invention, what occasion had I to carry my beloved to Mrs. Sinclair''s?
10799O that I had not such a mixture of revenge and pride in my love, thought I!--But,( my old plea,) can not I make her amends at any time?
10799Of Captain Singleton?
10799Once again, why and for what all these convulsions?
10799Once more wilt thou wonderingly question-- All this pains for a single girl?
10799Or should Dorcas attend her for any of her commands on that head?
10799Ought she not to be punished?
10799Patience, puppy!--Canst thou not trust thy master?
10799Perhaps, Sir, you would board, as well as lodge?
10799Poor Miss Rawlins, thought I; and dost thou know how men go?
10799Pr''ythee, Belford, forgive my nonsense, and my Vulcan- like metaphors-- Did I not tell thee, not that I am sick of love, but that I am mad with it?
10799Pray, your Honour, said she, if I may be so bold, was madam ever a mamma?
10799Saw you not how bad I was?
10799Say, are we married, or are we not?
10799See we not the natural bent of idiots and the crazed?
10799See you not my Lord M. and Lady Sarah longing to bless you, for blessing me, and their whole family?
10799Seest thou not that this unseasonable gravity is admitted to quell the palpitations of this unmanageable heart?
10799Seest thou now how the raving girl threatens her mother?
10799Shall I write to the Captain, and acquaint him, that we have no objection to it?
10799She asked her if she would have bread and butter with her tea?
10799She asked him if he thought Lady Betty and Miss Montague intended her a visit?
10799She asked, if he thought I had hopes of prevailing on her to go back to town?
10799She desired to know, if she would not breakfast?
10799She paused-- then resuming-- and think you, Sir, that my uncle will refuse to receive a letter from me?
10799She started, sighing-- Are you going, Sir?
10799She talks of her father''s curse!--But have I not repaid him for it an hundred fold in the same coin?
10799She then came up to me with a wrathful countenance: do you call your servant, Sir, to hinder me, between you, from going where I please?
10799She then espied my new servant walking under the window, and asked if he were not one of mine?
10799Silly fellow!--Did ever any man, thinkest thou, deceive a woman, but at the expense of his veracity; how, otherwise, can he be said to deceive?
10799Sir, you must first allow me to repeat my question: Are you really, and bonâ fide, married to Miss Clarissa Harlowe?
10799Specious seducer!--Only tell me if I can not get away from him by some back way?
10799Surely he must deal with some fiend, or how could he have found me out?
10799That I always took care to keep seals entire, and to preserve covers?
10799That I am not at Sinclair''s?
10799The Captain and I have agreed, that it shall be so insinuated occasionally-- And what''s thy opinion, Jack?
10799The settlements still to be signed?
10799The struggle only, Whether I am to have her in my own way, or in her''s?
10799Then I fear her as much as I love her.--How shall my pride bear these reflections?
10799Then pausing, Is that the way to Hendon?
10799Then the busy Miss Rawlins fished on, to find out from her either a confirmation or disavowal of my story-- Was Lord M. my uncle?
10799Then up from my seat stumped I-- what do you call these window- curtains, Madam?
10799Then, Sir, you have no thoughts-- no thoughts--[looking still more sorrowfully,] of marrying this wonderful lady?
10799Then, turning her face towards London, she seemed, by the motion of her handkerchief to her eyes, to weep; repenting[ who knows?]
10799There''s no casting an eye upon her, is there, without her notice?
10799Thinkest thou that I could bear to be outwitted?
10799This must be all from education too-- Must it not, Belford?
10799Thou knowest I never was a sordid villain to any of her inferiors-- Her inferiors, I may say-- For who is not her inferior?
10799To what purpose brought I this angel( angel I must yet call her) to this hellish house?--And was I not meditating to do her deserved honour?
10799To what purpose meet you?
10799To what purpose should I meet you to- morrow morning?
10799Tomlinson!--Why this undue condescension?
10799Very true: How should she?
10799Very well, Captain-- And was such a person employed on such an errand by her uncle?
10799Was he really of opinion that Lady Betty would pay her a visit?
10799Was it not crime enough to give occasion for those entreaties?
10799Was she so persecuted in favour of a very disagreeable man, one Solmes, as to induce her to throw herself into my protection?
10799Well but, Sir, have you then any commission to me from Mr. John Harlowe?
10799Well observed-- Can''t you, Landlord, lend or sell me a pair of stockings, that will draw over these?
10799Well, friend, what is your business with Mr. and Mrs. Lovelace?
10799Well, my dearest life, what say you to your uncle''s expedient?
10799Were it not for surprises now- and- then, how would an honest man know where to have them?
10799What a triumph has her sex obtained in my thoughts by this trial, and this resistance?
10799What can I have in view but peace and reconciliation?
10799What can be still in his head, to endeavour to pass these stories upon strangers?
10799What can you then think of Tomlinson''s declar- ing himself in favour of it upon inquiry?
10799What canst thou say for her?
10799What defence have I against a man, who, go where I will, can turn every one, even of the virtuous of my sex, in his favour?''
10799What had I to do to go out a license- hunting, at least till I had seen her, and made up matters with her?
10799What hadst thou seen in the conduct of Clarissa Harlowe, that should encourage such an insult upon her as thou didst dare to make?
10799What has my conduct been, that an insult of such a nature should be offered to me, and it would be a weakness in me to forgive?
10799What have been her trials?
10799What hinders, dearest Madam, what now hinders, but that Lady Betty Lawrance, when she comes, may be acquainted with the truth of every thing?
10799What is his name?
10799What is there in being enabled to boast, that I am worth more than I can use, or wish to use?
10799What man or woman, who is covetous of power, or of making a right use of it?
10799What need I( she asks me,) lock myself in,** if I am only reading past correspondencies?
10799What pretence hast thou for tormenting me thus?
10799What right, what title, have you to persecute me thus?
10799What said my dear mother?
10799What then but remorse can follow a forcible attempt?
10799What was his conduct to you afterwards, that you should of a sudden change it?
10799What widow, what servant, asks questions of a man with an equipage?
10799What will the people below, who suppose us one as to the ceremony, think of so great a niceness?
10799What would you have me answer?
10799What''s the matter, Dorcas?
10799What, my dear, would you have me say to the Captain to- morrow morning?
10799What, pray, Sir, is your question?
10799When, Sir, shall you want to come in?
10799When, when was it to be?
10799Whence, however, this strange rhapsody?--Is it owing to my being here?
10799Where can a woman be safe, who has once entered the lists with a contriving and intrepid lover?
10799Where is he?
10799Where, Madam?
10799Whither does that path lead, out yonder?--What is that town on the right hand called?
10799Who can blame him?
10799Who knows, thought I to myself, but more may come of this plot, than I had even promised myself?
10799Who preached at the Chapel?
10799Whom came you from?
10799Why brought I such an angel into such a house?
10799Why must I be thus pursued and haunted?
10799Why not?
10799Why now, Jack, were it not better, upon her own notions, that she seemed not so sensible as she will make herself to be, if she is very angry?
10799Why then thy teasing impertinence?
10799Why will these girls put me upon my master- strokes?
10799Why, Sir, my business is only to know if your honour be here, and to be spoken with; or if you shall be here for any time?
10799Why, Sir, should I be so much afraid of my brother?
10799Will not these trembling fingers, which twice have refused to direct the pen, fail me in the arduous moment?
10799Will you permit me to attend you in the morning, before I set out on my return?
10799Will you, Madam, consent that things pass as before with the people below?
10799With a face so unblushing, how darest thou appear in my presence?
10799Would there have been a second of time difference, had you come up slowly?
10799Wouldst thou make a merit to me, that thou didst not utterly ruin her whom thou oughtest to have protected?
10799Yes, Jack-- But is not this girl a CLARISSA?--And who knows, but kind fortune, as a reward for my perseverance, may toss me in her charming friend?
10799Yes, ride, Jack; for am I not lame?
10799Yes, wife, for who knows what cautions the dear fugitive may have given in apprehension of me?
10799Yet have I not always done her justice?
10799Yet what mercy does she show me?
10799You need not question his liberality; but one house can not hold us.--Why, if it would, did I fly from him, to seek refuge among strangers?''
10799You will not wonder that I am grave on this detection-- Detection, must I call it?
10799You will then breakfast with me, Captain?
10799Your servant, Sir,--Mr. Lovelace, I presume?
10799[ But why do I now, when you seem to be in so good a train, puzzle and perplex you with my retrospections?
10799[ Didst thou never hear the good folks talk of taking Heaven by storm?]
10799[ I must write my free sentiments in this case; for have I not seen the angel?]
10799and had I not then reason to fear, that the lady would find enough to make her dislike this house?
10799and that I am not still further prepared to support my story?
10799be not you the inflicter, who have been the cause of it: but spare me, I beseech you, spare me!--for how have I deserved this treatment from you?
10799been my servant upwards of seven years?
10799but can you think of force to such a fine creature?
10799for disappointing me of a promised interview?
10799for dost thou think I would have tamely given up the lady to Townsend''s tars?
10799have I not told thee so twenty times over?
10799hide me!--Is he gone?
10799how can you put such a question?
10799into such company?--And why do I not stop my ears to the sirens, who, knowing my aversion to wedlock, are perpetually touching that string?
10799lie in the house?
10799never, my angel!--Is this forgiveness?
10799or are you not yet married?
10799or have had so much compunction as I have had?
10799said he, who can but pity him?
10799said she, lifting up her lovely face, and clasped hands, what is at last to be my destiny?
10799said she: the license still to be obtained?
10799say.--Who knows, but that I may in time, in compliment to myself, bring her to think well of thee, Jack?
10799so little a way?''
10799that thus far I rave against?
10799thinkest thou that I will take all this roguish pains, and be so often called villain for nothing?
10799who can say as you say?
10799why beat you thus together?
10799wouldst thou have me decline a trial that they make for the honour of a sex we all so dearly love?
10799yet) glittering in the collected riches of his vast empire?
11364''Why was such a woman as this thrown into my way, whose very fall will be her glory, and, perhaps, not only my shame but my destruction?
11364''Yet already have I not gone too far?
11364* And was not cohabitation ever my darling view?
11364* But would I not have avoided it, if I could?
11364*** And what is all this wild incoherence for?
11364*** Where, Lovelace, can the poor lady be gone?
11364--If I am in a violent passion upon the detection, is not passion an universally- allowed extenuator of violence?
11364--In which I demonstrated the conveniencies, and obviated the inconveniencies, of changing the present mode to this?
11364--Yet what name else can I?
11364A stranger, as I hope to be saved, to the principal arts of your sex!-- Once more, what a devil has your heart to do in your eyes?
11364Am I as hateful to you as the vile Solmes?
11364Am I not ready to make you all the reparation that I can make you?
11364And also, if you have heard of any journey, or intended journey, of my brother, in company with Captain Singleton and Mr. Solmes?
11364And am I, Sir, to be thus beset?--Surrounded thus?--What have these women to do with me?
11364And am not I a smuggler too?
11364And are they not both every whit as culpable?
11364And are you sure you are now out of his reach?
11364And can I have taken all this pains for nothing?
11364And can not our fraternity in an hundred instances give proof of the like predominance of vice over virtue?
11364And do n''t you know who gave it to her?
11364And do you think that I would have given my consent to my imprisonment in it?
11364And does he not enjoin us works of mercy to one another, as the means to obtain his mercy?
11364And for how long?
11364And for what should her heart be broken?
11364And from what?
11364And have I any other resource left me?
11364And her punishment, as she calls it, is over: but when mine will, or what it may be, who can tell?
11364And how should we be convinced that any of them are proof till they are tried?
11364And if I do think thee so, have I not cause?
11364And if they were cheerful on the anniversary occasion?
11364And imaginest thou, fairest, thought I, that this will go down with a Lovelace?
11364And is this amiable doctrine the sum of religion?
11364And is this the answer thou returnest me?
11364And must not my next step be an irretrievable one, tend it which way it will?
11364And need I go throw the sins of her cursed family into the too- weighty scale?
11364And now what thinkest thou must become of the lady, whom LOVE itself gives up, and CONSCIENCE can not plead for?
11364And that we have risked more to serve and promote the interests of the former, than ever a good man did to serve a good man or a good cause?
11364And what dost thou think it is?
11364And what is it that I demand, that I have not a right to, and from which it is an illegal violence to withhold me?
11364And what is that injury which a church- rite will not at any time repair?
11364And what sayest thou now to my dream?
11364And what will be my subject thinkest thou?
11364And what will withhold a jealous and already- ruined woman?
11364And what, Madam, meant you by your promise?
11364And what, Sir, said she, with an air of authority, would you commit errors, and expect to be rewarded for them?
11364And who can describe the distress she must be in?
11364And who, thinkest thou, is my cousin Montague?
11364And will she not want the crown of her glory, the proof of her till now all- surpassing excellence, if I stop short of the ultimate trial?
11364And wo n''t this be doing a kind thing by them?
11364And yet why say I completed?
11364Answer me, Madam-- Did you mean any thing in my favour by your promise?
11364Are you recovered of your illness?
11364Arriving here in an instant, the first word I asked, was, If the lady was safe?
11364As to the man you have lost, is an union with such a perjured heart as his, with such an admirable one as your''s, to be wished for?
11364Astonishing, my dear, that you should suspect them!--But, knowing your strange opinion of them, what can I say to be believed?
11364At this rate of romancing, how many flourishing ruins dost thou, as well as I, know?
11364But again let me ask, Does this lady do right to make herself ill, when she is not ill?
11364But as to the arms and crest upon the coach and trappings?
11364But do not physicians prescribe opiates in acute cases, where the violence of the disorder would be apt to throw the patient into a fever or delirium?
11364But dost think, Jack, that I in the like case( and equally affected with the distress) should have acted thus?
11364But for the time she should stay in these parts, she would come up every night-- What say you, niece Charlotte?
11364But have you really and truly sold yourself to him?
11364But how know I, that I have not made my own difficulties?
11364But how was it possible, that even that florid countenance of his should enable him to command a blush at his pleasure?
11364But if I should, Jack,( with the strongest antipathy to the state that ever man had,) what a figure shall I make in rakish annals?
11364But if not, what shall I say severe enough, that you have not answered either of my last letters?
11364But is Thursday, the 29th, her uncle''s anniversary, methinks thou askest?
11364But is not that equivocation?
11364But it is not so, I plainly see: For, who can acknowledge with more justice this dear creature''s merits, and his own errors, than I?
11364But know you where my lady is?
11364But say, are you really ill, as a vile, vile creature informs me you are?
11364But seest thou not that I am under a necessity to continue her at Sinclair''s and to prohibit all her correspondencies?
11364But tell me, of a truth, is Miss Howe really and truly ill?--Very ill?- And is not her illness poison?
11364But that must all be forgotten now-- How do you, my Hannah?
11364But thinkest thou that, after such a series of contrivance, I will lose this inimitable woman for want of a little more?
11364But thinkest thou, that I will give a harlot niece to thy honourable uncle, and to thy real aunts; and a cousin to thy cousins from a brothel?
11364But this must be the last debate on this subject; for is not her fate in a manner at its crisis?
11364But thou hast-- and lain with her too; or fame does thee more credit than thou deservest-- Why, Jack, knowest thou not Lady Betty''s other name?
11364But to no purpose.--May she not thank herself for all that may follow?
11364But to what purpose have I gone thus far, if I pursue not my principal end?
11364But what can I do?
11364But what shall I do, if my father can not be prevailed upon to recall his malediction?
11364But who would have thought there had been such a woman in the world?
11364But woe be to them, if---- Yet what will vengeance do, after an insult committed?
11364But, if she will keep back her hand, if she will make me hold out mine in vain, how can I help it?
11364Can I have a better?
11364Can this particular story, which this girl hints at, be that of Lucy Villars?
11364Could not Morrison bring up the box?
11364Could the divine SOCRATES, and the divine CLARISSA, otherwise have suffered?
11364Could you have thought there was a woman in the world who could thus express herself, and yet be vile?
11364Did I never show thee a scheme which I drew up on such a notion as this?
11364Did Mr. Solmes ever do vilely by me?
11364Did you mean any thing in my favour, Madam?--Did you intend that I should think you did?
11364Do n''t you think him so, Madam?
11364Do we not then see, that an honest prowling fellow is a necessary evil on many accounts?
11364Do you come from Miss Howe?
11364Do you expect any voluntary favour from one to whom you give not a free choice?
11364Do you intend, Madam, to honour me with your hand, in your uncle''s presence, or do you not?
11364Do you know, do you see, my dearest life, what appearances your causeless apprehensions have given you?--Do you know it is past eleven o''clock?
11364Do you live with Miss Howe?
11364Do you think yourself in my power, Madam?
11364Do you think, Madam, that I fear the law?
11364Does he not see that he has journeyed on to this stage, with one determined point in view from the first?
11364Does she not show me that she can wilfully deceive, as well as I?
11364Dost thou ask, What I meant by this promise?
11364Dost thou know my right name, friend?
11364Dost thou not know that a Blunt''s must supply her, while her own is new lining and repairing?
11364Dost thou thus evade my question?
11364Durst ever see a license, Jack?
11364For have we not been prodigal of life and fortune?
11364For here( wouldst thou have thought it?)
11364For what an odd soul must she be who could not have her twelvemonth''s trial?
11364For what?
11364For whom has she to receive and protect her?
11364For why?
11364Forgive you, my dear!--Most cordially do I forgive you-- Will you forgive me for some sharp things I wrote in return to your''s of the 5th?
11364Good Lovelace, let me go to Mrs. Leeson''s?
11364HER''S, or MINE?
11364Had they not, Jack?
11364Have I not told you, that my beloved is a great observer of the eyes?
11364Have I not tried every other method?
11364Have I offered any new injury to you, my dearest life?
11364Have you, Madam, any reliance upon my honour?
11364He asked if she had any partiklar message?
11364He pulled the string-- What need to have come this way?
11364Here I made an hesitating effort to speak, laying down my pen: but she proceeded!--Hear me out, guilty wretch!--abandoned man!--Man, did I say?
11364Hitherto she is all angel: and was not that the point which at setting out I proposed to try?
11364How came the dear soul,( clothed as it is with such a silken vesture,) by all its steadiness?
11364How came you here in this?
11364How do you?
11364How else can I leave you?
11364How often have I known opposition not only cement friendship, but create love?
11364How shall I satisfy you for this kind trouble?
11364How the devil can this be?
11364How then, as I asked her, could I comply, without resolving to lose her for ever?
11364How will you trust to it, if you extort an answer to this question?
11364I axed master, if soe bee he knowed sitch a man as one Captain Tomlinson?
11364I do say, if she come fairly at her lights, at her clues, or what shall I call them?
11364I have lost it again-- This foolish wench comes teasing me-- for what purpose should I eat?
11364I hope Miss Howe is well?
11364I know what you mean, Madam-- Am I then as hateful to you as the vile Solmes?
11364I only asked, What was his business, and who he came from?
11364I repeat, therefore, Am I now at liberty to dispose of myself as I please?
11364I will study for it---- Suppose I suffer her to make an escape?
11364If I go not down to Mr. Hall, Madam, you''ll have no scruple to stay here, I suppose, till Thursday is over?
11364If it be not that,[ and yet what power should her guardian angel have over me?]
11364If these postulata be granted me, who, I pray, can equal my charmer in all these?
11364If thou sayest, it is, however, wrong to do so; I reply, that it is nevertheless human nature:--And wouldst thou not have me to be a man, Jack?
11364If you are, do you choose to come and be with me?
11364Indeed has not at all forgiven me?
11364Is a fancied distress, sufficient to justify this lady for dispensing with her principles?
11364Is her''s, I pray you, a right sort of love?
11364Is it love at all?
11364Is it not wonderful?
11364Is not every man and woman obliged to excuse that fault in another, which at times they find attended with such ungovernable effects in themselves?
11364Is not this the crisis for which I have been long waiting?
11364Is she not?
11364Is this, my dear, preparative to the conversation you led me to expect in the dining- room?
11364It is this: Whether you know any such man as Captain Tomlinson?
11364Let go my hand, Sir-- Take away your arm from about me,[ struggling, yet trembling,]--Why do you gaze upon me so?
11364Let me ask you, Madam, What meant you, when you said,''that, were it not a sin, you would die before you gave me that assurance?''
11364Let me only know, Madam, if your promise to endeavour to wait with patience the event of next Thursday meant me favour?
11364May I not be able to prevail upon him to leave me at my liberty?
11364May I trust to it?--Say only may I trust to it?
11364May not the evil I know be less than what I may fall into, if I can avoid farther villany?
11364Moreover, what a multitude of domestic quarrels would be avoided, where such a scheme carried into execution?
11364Mrs. Moore''s, Madam!--I have no objection to Mrs. Moore''s-- but will you give me your promise, to admit me there to your presence?
11364Must she not live?
11364My dearest creature, said the vile man, gasping, as it were for breath, you shall not alight-- Any letters for me, Dorcas?
11364Nay, how should I know?
11364Noblest of creatures!--And do you think I can leave you, and my interest in such an excellence, precarious?
11364Now, Jack, what terms wouldst thou have me to keep with such a sweet corruptress?
11364Once more I ask thee, Am I, or am I not, at my own liberty now?
11364Or can you conveniently?
11364Or, why was this singular one to fall to my lot?
11364Other name!--Has she two?
11364Pray acquaint me, if they have been there?
11364Pray, Madam, whipping between her and the street- door, be pleased to let me know where you are going?
11364Right sort of love!--A puppy!--But, with due regard to your deityship, said I, what merits has she with YOU, that you should be of her party?
11364Say only, dearest creature, say only, may I trust to your favour, if you go to Hampstead?
11364Seest thou not how she hates me?
11364Seest thou not that she is resolved never to forgive me?
11364Seest thou not, however, that she must disgrace herself in the eye of the world, if she actually should escape?
11364Several weeks past, I should say; ever since I have been with thee?
11364Shall I tell thee my project?
11364She purposes to return to Hampstead as soon as I am gone-- My dear, will you not have a servant to attend you?
11364She put it close to me, Whether I had not corresponded with you from the time of your going away?
11364She refused me her hand!--Was she wise, Jack, to confirm to me, that nothing but terror would do?
11364She so affrights me, when I see her!--Ever since-- when was it?
11364Should he call the next day?
11364Suppose Dorcas should drop the promissory note given her by her lady?
11364Tell me, ungrateful devil, tell me who made the first advances?
11364The brute, or the lady?
11364The coachman stopped: his servant, who, with one of her''s was behind, alighted-- Ask, said he, if I have any letters?
11364The red- hot iron she refuses to strike-- O why will she suffer the yielding wax to harden?
11364The whole sex is indeed wounded by you: For, who but Miss Clarissa Harlowe was proposed by every father and mother for a pattern for their daughters?
11364The would not the distinction be very pretty, Jack?
11364Thou hast seen Lady Betty Lawrance several times-- hast thou not, Belford?
11364To endeavour, Sir, to make myself easy-- were the words---- Till you saw what next Thursday would produce?
11364To prostitute the characters of persons of honour of thy own family-- and all to delude a poor creature, whom thou oughtest-- But why talk I to thee?
11364To what purpose did I ask her consent, if she had not a power over either her own person or actions?
11364Wallis?
11364Was he one of Lovelace''s creatures too!-- Could nobody come near me but that man''s confederates, either setting out so, or made so?
11364Was it necessary to humble me down to the low level of thy baseness, before I could be a wife meet for thee?
11364Was she not talking with you this moment?
11364Was you ordered to wait for an answer?
11364Well, but, after all[ how many after- all''s have I?]
11364Were I to be sure that this foundation is laid[ And why may I not hope it is?]
11364What a d--- l I moves you, to plead thus earnestly for a rebel, who despises your power?
11364What amends can such a one as thou make to a person of spirit, or common sense, for the evils thou hast so inhumanely made me suffer?
11364What answer, Mrs. Margaret, did you give the man, upon his asking for Mrs. Harriot Lucas?
11364What can she do but rave and exclaim?
11364What can this mean!--Who was the messenger you sent?
11364What could I say to such a question?
11364What defence, indeed, could there be against so determined a wretch, after you was in his power?
11364What duration is your reign to have?
11364What have I done to merit so much goodness, who never saw your Lordship in my life?]
11364What have you to say to me?
11364What is it she ought not to expect from an unchained Beelzebub, and a plotting villain?
11364What is she afraid of?
11364What is thy business?
11364What is your business with me, friend?
11364What is your business, friend, with Mrs. Harry Lucas?
11364What nonsense then to suppose that such a mere notional violation as she has suffered should be able to cut asunder the strings of life?
11364What redress lies for a perpetuated evil?
11364What right have you to detain me here?
11364What right have you to stop me, as you lately did; and to bring me up by force, my hands and arms bruised by your violence?
11364What say you, cousin Lovelace?
11364What though the presence of a fine lady would require a different behaviour, are you not of years to dispense with politeness?
11364What vestigia, what remembrances, but such as will inspire abhorrence of the attempter?
11364What will you do for clothes, Madam?
11364What will you do for money, Madam?
11364What, he asks, is the injury which a church- rite will not at any time repair?
11364What, said she, would you have me do?
11364When settest thou out for the Isle of Wight, love?
11364Whence, Jack, can this be?
11364Where will she mend herself?
11364Wherefore then should grief sadden and distort such blythe, such jocund, features as mine?
11364Whether her virtue be principle?
11364Whether, if once subdued, she will not be always subdued?
11364Whether, in a word, you intend to hinder me from going where my destiny shall lead me?
11364Whither, Madam, do you design to go when you get out of this house?
11364Who has a right to controul me?
11364Who now shall provide the nuptial ornaments, which soften and divert the apprehensions of the fearful virgin?
11364Who says that, sleeping and waking, I have not fine helps from somebody, some spirit rather, as thou''lt be apt to say?
11364Who the devil could have expected such strange effects from a cause so common and so slight?
11364Who therefore so fit for an example to the rest of her sex?
11364Whose regret, at times, can be deeper than mine, for the injuries I have done her?
11364Why all these exclamations?
11364Why all this extravagant passion?
11364Why am I to be thus detained against my will?
11364Why did I not send for their coach, as I had intimated?
11364Why do you call Mr. Solmes vile?
11364Why hesitate you, Sir?
11364Why should I seek to conceal that disgrace from others which I can not hide from myself?
11364Why should I?
11364Why then should this enervating pity unsteel my foolish heart?
11364Why then were there not more examples of a virtue so immovable?
11364Why this terror, my life?
11364Why will she make it necessary for me to bring Lady Betty and my cousin to my assistance?
11364Why, Mr. Lovelace, must I be determined by your motions?--Think you that I will voluntarily give a sanction to the imprisonment of my person?
11364Why, why, thought I, as I did several times in this conversation, will she not generously forgive me?
11364Will it not be rather surmised, that she may be apprehensive that some weakness, or lurking love, will appear upon the trial of the strange cause?
11364Will not Col. Morden, as her trustee, put her in possession of it?
11364Will not the consequence of your departure hence be that I shall lose you for ever, Madam?--And can I bear the thoughts of that?
11364Will you eat, or drink, friend?
11364Will you take Dorcas?
11364With what face can I take upon me to reproach a want of prudence in her?
11364Would I dare, she asked me, to offer at a palliation of my baseness?
11364Would she be pleased to assure me that she would stay here only till Tuesday morning?
11364Yet is she not haughty?]
11364Yet what does even my success in my machinations bring me but regret, disgrace, repentance?
11364You are Mrs. Harriot Lucas, I suppose, Madam?
11364You persuade your lady to be afraid of alighting.--See you not that she is just fainting?
11364You thought, Madam, you had given me room to hope your pardon by it?
11364a- year, enable a man to do?
11364and Dorcas whipt to the inner- hall door, and saw her; but, taking her for Mabell, Are you going far, Mabell?
11364and have we not attempted rescues, and dared all things, only to extricate a pounded profligate?
11364and how could you pass me unseen?
11364and when a CLARISSA could not move me?
11364and wherefore these agonizing apprehensions?
11364and whether you bespoke your nephew''s attendance there on Sunday night the 11th?
11364and will you acquit her whom that condemns?
11364and, if you do, whether he be very intimate with my uncle Harlowe?
11364at a time too, when, as it falls out, I have another very sensible disappointment to struggle with?
11364have we not defied the civil magistrate upon occasion?
11364knows not how to forgive with graciousness?
11364one whom she knew to be a rake?
11364or what malefactor ought to be hanged?
11364said he-- But since we are, I will but ask a question-- My dearest life, why this apprehension?
11364said she-- do you authorize these women-- what right have they, or you either, to stop me?
11364what a hand have I made of it!--And all for what?
11364what, in the mean time, shall I do with this admirable creature?
11364when the will, the consent, is wanting-- and I have still views before me of obtaining that?
11364when, of consequence, the affair is irretrievable?
11364with the weapons thou brandishest so fearfully against him.--And to what purpose, when the mischief is done?
48199About Catherine-- Cousin Catherine-- whom I thought you disliked with all your heart?
48199And does it always happen that the bubbles burst?
48199And is that how Edward loses his head?
48199And it_ was_ really so?
48199And who is the lady?
48199And why not?
48199And why should he?
48199And why should not I speculate,said Hester,"if I had any money?
48199Are you come to that?
48199Are you quite sure? 48199 But do you mean-- tell me-- that it is simple speculation-- that this is all that makes you anxious?"
48199But my father himself?
48199But who,said Hester, with a little scorn,"is so silly as to buy things_ when they are dear_?
48199But why should she not have a young man too?
48199But why?--but why? 48199 Can any subject be more important?"
48199Could n''t you divine that I wanted you? 48199 Did I ever doubt what you said to me, Edward?"
48199Did n''t I tell you, Aunt Catherine? 48199 Did n''t she say she would come out for a walk?
48199Did n''t you mean me to do so? 48199 Did you say_ bear_ it better?"
48199Do n''t you think it will only be polite to wait till Catherine comes back?
48199Do n''t you think that a woman could do all that-- and yet that it would be easier for her if she understood what it was, and why it was?
48199Do n''t you_ know_ that I would bear it all if I could? 48199 Do you mean speculation, Edward?"
48199Do you mean to say you did not know-- the man that was such a fool, that left it a ruin on Catherine''s hands? 48199 Do you mean to say you''ve put yourself in Ned''s hands?"
48199Do you often-- take a walk-- so late?
48199Do you really say so?
48199Do you really think,she said,"that the charm of inspiring, as you call it, is what any reasonable creature would prefer to doing?
48199Do you think I want,she cried,"to end my days in peace?
48199Do you think she makes the old people happier? 48199 Do you think we are going to have a storm, Edward?"
48199Eh? 48199 Emma is very amusing, being so frank, but she is right enough when you come to think of it; for what can she do if she does not marry?
48199Gets to look a little absurd, do n''t it, this sort of thing, when you have a deal on your mind?
48199Gracious goodness, what can be going to happen? 48199 Has Mr. Edward gone out?"
48199Has he everything he wishes for?
48199Has it not that effect upon you?
48199Have you come back to us, Hester?
48199Have you seen Catherine Vernon lately? 48199 He is coming back?"
48199How can I explain to you,he said,"here?
48199How can you talk as if it were a matter of business?
48199How do you know what the way is until you hear?
48199How do you know? 48199 I am sure you will mean to be kind, Harry; but tell me quick-- what is it?"
48199I do n''t understand business,she said;"but how can you buy without spending a penny?
48199I felt that you were annoyed; but what could I do? 48199 I like young men to go to balls,"Mrs. John said;"where could they be so well as amusing themselves among their own kind of people?
48199I never said so,cried Hester; and then, after a pause,"but if I did, what does that matter?
48199If I send to you, you will see me, Hester?
48199If I should be killed, what would it matter? 48199 If it will hurt her-- more?
48199If you love any one is it only while he is good?
48199If you think that_ you_ will get a look from her, when she has_ him_ at her feet?
48199Is anything going wrong?
48199Is he wanted-- so much?
48199Is it for this,he said,"that I have been devising delicate operations for you, and explaining all my mysteries?
48199Is it known who it is? 48199 Is it noble to cast him from you because he has gone wrong?
48199Is it not too much for you, Aunt Catherine? 48199 Is she going by the midnight train?"
48199Is she ill?
48199Is that all? 48199 Is there anything that can upset me more?"
48199It is Edward Vernon; may he come in?
48199It is too far for me,said he,"but what does that matter?
48199Mamma, you are very tired, do n''t you think you had better go to bed?
48199May I go with you?
48199Might I speak to Hester?
48199Mr. Ashton, what do you mean by it?
48199Myself? 48199 No?
48199Oh, Aunt Catherine, where is he? 48199 Oh, is it you, Mr. Edward?
48199Pardon me; but do n''t you think that is far less than what you have in your power? 48199 Should I_ not_ have told you so much?"
48199Still with the lady? 48199 That was so?
48199Then you have really given it up?
48199To tell the truth, all I was thinking of was buying and selling,she said;"for business means that, does n''t it?
48199Was this what you were thinking of when you asked me to dance the Thursday before last? 48199 Well, my dear, are you ready?"
48199Well?
48199What are you talking of?
48199What can I say to you beyond what I have said,she cried,"if you heard what we said?
48199What can I say?
48199What can you do? 48199 What do you do on the Stock Exchange?"
48199What does all this mean?
48199What does it matter about fashion? 48199 What emergency?"
48199What has happened? 48199 What is he doing away so often?
48199What is it? 48199 What is it?"
48199What is that about Edward Vernon?
48199What is there to be frightened for?
48199What merit is that?
48199What was there to be misinformed about?
48199What was this great event?
48199What?
48199When will this bondage be over? 48199 Where could I have seen her last night?"
48199Where is he?
48199Who is it?
48199Why can not it be? 48199 Why did n''t he take his share of the work and understand matters?
48199Why did not you tell me you were going out?
48199Why did you come here if you had not made up your mind? 48199 Why did you leave everything in one person''s hands?
48199Why do you want to take Emma away?
48199Why for half an hour, Captain Morgan?
48199Why not?
48199Why not?
48199Why should God bless me for that? 48199 Why should he not be hot and eager?"
48199Why should n''t it happen again? 48199 Why should we be enough for them?
48199Will you come with me to the door? 48199 Will you play for us, Ashton?
48199Would you be glad of an alternative?
48199Yes, which was that?
48199You are sure you are not keeping anything from us about poor dear Catherine?
48199You are tired of your life too, I suppose?
48199You are very young,she said,"not twenty yet, are you?
48199You mean Harry, I suppose? 48199 You think after all he was in the right perhaps?"
48199You will excuse me for my anxiety, sir,he said,"but will you tell me if Miss Vernon is there, and what is going on?"
48199You wo n''t think of proprieties? 48199 You''ll do it for me, Aunt Catherine?
48199--she did not like these pleasantries--"why do you talk so wildly?
48199A fortnight hence what would the mother be thinking, where would the daughter be?
48199A girl ca n''t live without friends, can she, Mrs. John?
48199Am I likely to insist upon anything which would make an end of myself first of all if it went wrong?"
48199And Edward he was aware had paid her furtive"attentions"at Ellen Merridew''s parties; but what could Edward do?
48199And Hester knew that she could confront any danger with him or for him-- but what was it?
48199And after that you will not marry-- for the sake of----""How can I help it?"
48199And how was it unjustifiable?
48199And if I tell you a piece of old news, a thing that everybody knows, is that to make a breach between us?
48199And she was silenced, for what could she say?
48199And then she asked with pleasant expectation--"What was the information, Hester, that you gave Catherine?
48199And was it at her own very door that the tryst was?
48199And was there not cause enough?
48199And what are Circassians?"
48199And what is it, my dear?
48199And what should I do going back to the world, and_ her_ in the arm- chair?
48199And where was he, the cause of it all?
48199And why should we be hampered by imaginary restrictions?
48199And you mean that there was nothing at all, nothing of this-- a mere accident, nothing more?"
48199Anything new would be a blessing; but where am I to look for anything new?
48199Are they nothing-- nothing?"
48199Are you able to do it?"
48199Are you going to see Harry?
48199Are you strong enough to come with me, or must I go alone?"
48199As for all the rest, what did it matter?
48199Besides, do n''t you know I have never been trained to act for myself?"
48199But dear Catherine, used to such large rooms, what could she do in ours, which is the size of a pocket- handkerchief?
48199But how could he do it now?
48199But if she could have looked into the library down stairs, which had been given up to Edward as his room, what would she have seen there?
48199But is it just, is it good, do you think, that you should ask all that and tell me nothing?
48199But sometimes, do n''t you think one likes a person better for not calculating too much, for letting himself be carried away?"
48199But to- day he was as meek as Moses-- What do you think?
48199But what did that matter?
48199But what good will that do to me, to have you work yourself to death, and to be left a widow at my age, with a baby to support?
48199But why did she look so strangely conscious?
48199But why should I try to explain at such a moment-- or you ask me?
48199But why should Vernon''s be affected except to its advantage by really bold speculation?
48199But, after all, he was very young, and he could have had no money to speak of, and what should I have done with him?
48199Ca n''t you understand that this is the very reason?
48199Can not Heaven, can not God, deliver from everything?"
48199Can there be anything wrong with the Captain or old Mrs. Morgan?
48199Could it be Hester, so proud, so reserved as she was, that did this?
48199Dear Catherine, is n''t this long walk too much for you, and on such a cold day?
48199Did Hester think she might yet be carried away by the flood of the other''s will, against her own, that she took her leave so solemnly?
48199Did n''t you know by instinct I was longing for consolation?"
48199Did not he see that it was impossible?
48199Did the boy perhaps think that she would be jealous and stand in the way of his happiness?
48199Did you find the clean things I brought you?
48199Did you know I was coming to- night?
48199Did you never think of coming to London?
48199Did you not get my note?
48199Do n''t you hear steps on the road?
48199Do n''t you see?
48199Do n''t you think you had better leave her with Mrs. Morgan a little longer since she likes to be here?"
48199Do n''t you think you would do better if you warned her, or her mother?"
48199Do you feel able to take some breakfast, dear?
48199Do you hear me, Aunt Catherine, do you hear me?
48199Do you know anything more?"
48199Do you know that every moment I stand here I am in danger?
48199Do you know where Edward is?
48199Do you remember the French boy in Browning''s ballad, Hester, that could not bear it when his Emperor asked if he were wounded?
48199Do you think I could not live in a single room and eat my rations like another?
48199Do you think a man_ ever_ talks to women about these things?
48199Edward had taken it for granted that she was well aware of his love-- how could it be otherwise?
48199Edward, do you know what it looks like?
48199Edward, think of-- Won''t you listen to me?
48199Edward, you are not risking-- other people?"
48199Edward, you can not mean it is play?
48199Father and mother, and home and duty, what were they in comparison?
48199For what could she do?
48199For what, oh Heaven, for what?
48199Go to the White House also and tell Mr. Harry-- What do you think, Hester?
48199Good Lord, what can I do?
48199Goodness me, what would they all say?
48199Had he not gone after all?
48199Had there been no place for Hester at all, nothing but delusion from beginning to end?
48199Has he means enough of his own to go in for it?
48199Has n''t she got enough to bear?
48199He had said it so often that she had no faith in him; and how long was it to go on like this-- how long?
48199He made a little pause, and then he said, looking at her, she felt, severely, with a scoff in his voice--"And where is this explanation to take place?
48199He might have forgotten; it might be fully accounted for-- and, if not, what did it matter?
48199He reflected that the hot water- pipes would be sure to get out of order in winter, and who would now repair them?
48199He told me he was leaving England for ever, and would I come with him?
48199He wanted to know how long Edward had been gone, and where he was, and when he was expected back?
48199Her advice, her intelligent help, her understanding, all ignored, and nothing wanted but a kind of doggish fidelity, an unreasoning belief?
48199Hester said to herself, with fine scorn, that to suppose the question,"Do you love me?"
48199Hester thought to herself, no fear of that-- but how?
48199Hester, tell me,"said the old man, leading her away with her arm in his,"what is this about Catherine?
48199How could he fail to know that as he had looked upon her all those years so she had looked upon him?
48199How could she think of a second?
48199How did you think she was looking?"
48199How long has it been going on?"
48199How long has this been going on?
48199How long has this been going on?"
48199How otherwise?"
48199How should you understand me when I speak of disappearing with my love, getting lost, dying even, if it were together--?"
48199I might have to put your love to the test-- to ask you----""What?"
48199I suppose you gave your mother a hint----""My mother, a hint?
48199I think she must have been dozing, for we could not possibly have gone to Redborough and back in this time, could we, Roland?
48199I will come back in two or three days; but Hester, another time, if it should be for good, would you come?--you would come?--with me?"
48199If Catherine had known that his choice, so far as he had made a choice, had fallen upon Hester, what would her sentiments have been?
48199If Edward did not turn up that night there would be nothing else for it, and what was he to do?
48199If he had been there, would all this page of history have been changed, and wrong become right again?
48199If he had come back, if he was working now at the re- establishment of everything, could Edward ever forgive them?
48199If it had been yours, what would have happened to you?"
48199If you could give me an address where I could telegraph to him?
48199If you had n''t made such a fuss about him, who would have ever trusted him?
48199In what did he lose his head?
48199Is it a doctor?
48199Is it my fault if it was all thrown into my hands?
48199Is it not a partner''s business to look after his own interests?
48199Is it pleasure?
48199Is it to oblige you?
48199Is there anything wrong?"
48199Is there no reason in it when God''s creature lifts a face of anguish to His throne, and asks why?
48199It could not be-- how could it be?
48199It is a long walk for us who are not used to luxury, and what must it be to you?"
48199It was all her self- command could do to prevent her from flinging off from her the girl whose share in all this-- what was it?
48199It was at this moment that a shuffling light step became audible, hurrying along the road, and a voice calling"Catherine-- is it really Catherine?"
48199It would wound them all-- it would break their hearts; and for what reason?"
48199John?"
48199John?"
48199Let me see, is it the right?
48199Match?"
48199No, I confess that was what I thought, and it was a great relief to me to hear-- did you lock the door, Hester?
48199Oh where are you, my boy, my boy?"
48199Oh, Aunt Catherine, if you have any heart at all, where is he, where is he?
48199Oh, how can you have the heart?
48199Or if he had fallen in love-- what then?
48199Perhaps you will come to my room at the bank?
48199Provided always-- but with Edward''s good taste and good sense how could he go wrong in such a choice?
48199Shall I send her word that you are here and staying with me all night?
48199She asked him what he meant, what other sense there was in his words which she had not grasped?
48199She asked in a low, wondering voice,"Did you hear all we said?"
48199She believed him, of course; but yet there was always in her soul a wish to ask-- was he really, really sure that he was true?
48199She did not withdraw her hands, or show any surprise at his confidence; but only whispered"What is it, Edward?"
48199She must lose Edward; had she not lost him now?
48199She opened her eyes and said,"Are you going for a walk, dear?"
48199She said humbly--"Will you tell me what you are afraid of?
48199She thought this almost certain, for had she not turned against him?
48199She wondered sometimes was he in love?
48199Should he go to Ellen''s folly as was his custom?
48199Should n''t you say so Martha?
48199Take my arm-- please take my arm: or wo n''t you come back to our little house and rest, and we''ll send for the carriage?
48199Then what is love or faithfulness?
48199Then why should he take me away?"
48199There is nobody I meet with so original; and is she to stay longer and have her chance?
48199There was a security in their magnitude-- small people could not venture upon them; and what even if it did not succeed?
48199They had no fear that_ he_ would be absent when there was any need for him, but then, when he was present, what could he do?
48199To fly-- how could it be?
48199To make somebody else a hero rather than be a hero yourself?
48199To win a great fortune, or-- to lose-- what?
48199Was he deceiving her?
48199Was it Edward going out notwithstanding his letters?
48199Was it in a sudden fit of passion, which he had repented of?
48199Was it not after all the most likely, the most natural thought?
48199Was it not he who was the virtual head, upon whose judgment and insight everything depended?
48199Was it on the cards still that she might follow him to the end of the world?
48199Was it only last night that all had happened?
48199Was it possible that he thought so?
48199Was it really robbers?--and why was Hester parleying with them?--or were these two of the robbers, and had they made away with her child?
48199Was not Harry there?
48199Was not seeing the humour of it the last thing that remained to the noble soul amid the wonder of life?
48199Was that what they called the natural lot of women?
48199Was there any sacrifice she would not have made for him?
48199We did n''t blame him a bit, did we, Martha?"
48199Well, if you think it really will be better to come back in the afternoon, Hester-- Has Catherine gone out to spend the day?
48199Were these matters to make one''s self unhappy about?
48199Were these the words that would be used?
48199Were you only pretending about Hester?
48199Were you struck with me from the beginning, or only just at the last?
48199What appeal could be more strong than that of those arms so tightly holding her own?
48199What can a young woman desire more than to have such a possibility of choice?
48199What can be nicer for a girl than to have a nice dance to go to, when she is sure of plenty of partners?
48199What can be so important for a girl as settling?
48199What could he have to say that made him come at such an hour-- and was it possible that he ever could get it said?
48199What could you be inspired to do-- make better bargains on your Stock Exchange?
48199What did he expect her to do for him, in ignorance, in blind trust?
48199What did it all mean?
48199What did she mean?
48199What do I care for your maids and their lovers?
48199What do you think about Ned giving up that business all at once, when we both stood up to him about it?
48199What do you think it can be?"
48199What does he deserve, a man that has used a woman like that?"
48199What had an old woman to do with business?
48199What had the crisis been through which he had passed?
48199What has happened?
48199What has he to do with Hester or with Mr. Roland''s business?
48199What has made so great a change in you?"
48199What have you got to do with where we place our money?
48199What if a better thought had struck him?
48199What if, when they all went to the bank, thinking him a traitor, they should find him there, throwing light on everything, putting the wrong right?
48199What is it to me if you have any heart or not?
48199What is it, Edward?
48199What is that?"
48199What is the use, she asked herself, of having a mother if you can not tell her everything, and get her to help you?
48199What is your forgiveness?
48199What is your pride to that?
48199What matter, what matter, she cried, so long as he set himself right, so long as Vernon''s stood by his help and did not fall?
48199What new thing was this?
48199What rival could he have?
48199What shall I do?
48199What time had she to think of Hester?
48199What was he better than the welsher?
48199What was he to her more than Harry was?
48199What was it that turned Medusa into that mask of horror and gave her head its fatal force?
48199What was it?
48199What was she to think?
48199What was the new departure, the burning of the ships?
48199What was the use of it?
48199What was there in that to move a soul?
48199What was this creature to her-- this girl who one way or other had to do with everything that had happened to her, and was the cause of the last blow?
48199What was this test of love that might be required of her?
48199What wonder that a man should think so, when women themselves thought so?
48199What''s that?"
48199What?
48199Where could they meet?
48199Where is Edward?
48199Where was there any one?
48199Whether she lived in the Grange or one of the Vernon almshouses, what did it matter to her?
48199Who are you calling a pack of fools, Harry?
48199Who could say if Hester had not known from the beginning that the attempt would be fruitless?
48199Who could suppose that you and I should meet together a second time in this way?"
48199Who could tell?
48199Who else was there?
48199Who is it?
48199Why should he have made so inappropriate a visit except under the stimulus of having something to say?
48199Why should it be?
48199Why should she be troubled with these anguishes that were beyond her?
48199Why should she suppose evils that had no existence?
48199Why should you say all this?
48199Why was it that this pleasant state of affairs never continued?
48199Why, then, was she made unlike others, or why was it so?
48199Why-- why had he done it?
48199Will you appoint to meet me somewhere with my balance- sheet and my vouchers?
48199Will you come away with me?
48199Will you come with me and be free?"
48199Will you come with me?
48199Will you give up all this for me?
48199Will you let me give you something to restore you, or will you not, before you speak?
48199Will you let us all be sacrificed, every one, only to keep Edward from harm?"
48199Would experience teach him?
48199Would the women gather themselves together, he wondered, soon enough to send after him, to prevent his journey?
48199You are like Hester, you are not at the ball to- night-- but you go generally, I hope?"
48199You are not a-- gambler?"
48199You believe me-- oh, yes; but then you ask me if really-- really I am saying what is true?
48199You can make others do: you can inspire( is n''t that what Lord Lytton says?)
48199You did not know why she hated you?
48199You did not think I was robbing the bank, or killing Catherine?"
48199You do n''t think I went there on purpose, do you?"
48199You do n''t think it is worth making such a fuss about?"
48199You will come too in the morning, Hester, when I send for you?
48199You will help us, you will save Algy, you will pay the money, wo n''t you?"
48199Your mother told us you were there all night, and now to- day----""What do they say has happened?"
48199and was he going to fly from the ruin he had made?
48199and why-- why be so unjust to me?
48199are you sure he has not come back?
48199but do n''t you think, Mrs. Vernon, you who know the world, that for a girl to go away just when a gentleman is coming to the point, is a great pity?
48199but why Hester?
48199danger, what is danger?
48199did I say it--_bear_ it-- Martha?
48199fly, go away, disappear, whatever might be the word?
48199he cried, in a sort of unconscious aside, with a strange laugh; then added, with mock gravity,"that''s all, my darling; not much, is it?
48199he cried;"oh, Miss Catherine, has it come to this?
48199he said;"did you know of this?"
48199how could I dare to say to her-- What would she think?
48199how could you have had a stepmother, and me surviving your poor dear papa all these years?
48199in what way was her imagination to follow him, groping dimly amid scenes she did not understand?
48199is it horse- racing, or that sort of thing?
48199is it worth while to call Harry?"
48199oh, what is the matter?
48199or appoint an accountant whom you can trust?"
48199or was it in mere horror of herself as the instrument of a lie, of him, him whom she would fain have thought perfect, as falsehood incarnate?
48199or will you get up first?
48199poor young man, with such a creature as that laying herself out----""And who was this whom you are so sorry for?"
48199said Hester, her eyes blazing with the keenest interest;"you knew all his affairs?"
48199she drew her hand out of his arm and then put it back again after a moment''s hesitation,"do you want me to look a wretch even to myself?
48199she had asked triumphantly, how could he disengage himself from that?
48199she said,"why not?
48199that this was what she would have to encounter in the life she should spend with him?
48199to find you at the end not in the least interested in my work or in your possible fortune, but considering everything in the light of Edward Vernon?
48199was he his rival?
48199was it ever known that a woman, a girl like you( if there ever was a girl like my Hester), thought of what would be easiest?
48199what is wrong?
48199what room?
48199what was previous virtue, what was truth, and gratitude, and everything else in life, in comparison?
48199what would she have?"
48199where are you going?
48199why was she so pale, so red, so full of abstraction and agitation to- day?
48199you are not going back again, Edward?"
48199you do n''t mean to say that you can not help us, that you can not save us?
48199you will put it right?"
10462''*--What must that heart be that can triumph in a distress so deep, into which she has been plunged by thy elaborate arts and contrivances?
10462''If Mrs. Fretchville knows not her own mind, what is her house to me?
10462''Let me ask you, Madam, I beseech you tell me, what I have done to deserve this distant treatment?
10462''Whither can she fly to avoid me?
10462*** And now, Belford, what dost think?
10462*** And what must necessarily be the consequence of all this with regard to my beloved''s behaviour to me?
10462----And why did he not fall into this temptation?
10462--And what if she could?--What could Hannah do for her in such a house as this?
10462--Are women only to tease, I trow?
10462--Can you so expect to narrow and confine such a passion as mine?
10462--Could a Lovelace have allowed himself a greater license?
10462--Is there any bearing this, Belford?
10462--May I see the letter?
10462--One favour, dearest creature-- Let me but know, whether Miss Howe approves or disapproves of my proposals?
10462--What sayest thou to this, Belford?
10462--Yet no harm done by me, nor so much as attempted?
10462--creature if you be, forgive me!--forgive my inadvertencies!--forgive my inequalities!--pity my infirmities!--Who is equal to my Clarissa?
10462Am I not a villain, a fool, a Beelzebub, with them already?
10462Am I not obliged to deserve thy compliment?
10462Am I not under a necessity, as it were, of quarrelling with him; at least every other time I see him?
10462Am I not your general?
10462And are not cautions against the perfidy of our sex a necessary part of the female education?
10462And are not lovers''oaths a jest of hundreds of years''standing?
10462And as it gives people the power of being mischievous, does it not require great virtue to forbear the use of that power?
10462And did not Essex''s personal reflection on Queen Elizabeth, that she was old and crooked, contribute more to his ruin than his treason?
10462And do you think, my worthy woman, do you think, that the wilful lapse of such a child is to be forgiven?
10462And for what?
10462And has, besides, overheard a conversation[ who would have thought she had been so near?]
10462And have I so much as summoned this to surrender?
10462And if I do her this justice, shall I not have a claim of her gratitude?
10462And if I do, after prevailing( whether by surprise, or by reluctant consent) whom but myself shall I have injured?
10462And is not the mind of a person strongly indicated by outward dress?
10462And now, Jack, dost thou think she''ll attempt to get from me, do what I will?
10462And so, Sir, taking all you say for granted, your cousin Montague can not come to Mrs. Sinclair''s?
10462And that other great one, of fixing myself here night and day?
10462And then it was with my hopes, and my hopes, and my hopes, that I should have been early admitted to-- What weather is it, Dorcas?
10462And think you, my dear, that Scipio did not blush with indignation, when the charge was first communicated to him?
10462And this will be a further proof of my love, and will demand a grateful return-- And what then, thou egregious contriver?
10462And what a vulture of a man must he be, who souses upon his prey, and in the same moment trusses and devours?
10462And what if she shows a great deal of concern?
10462And what in saying this, and acting up to it, do I offer you, but the frits of a friendship your worth has created?
10462And what shall deter an attempter?
10462And what should it be but of the answer the truly admirable creature had intended to give to my written proposals in relation to settlements?
10462And what the contents?
10462And what were my four friends to her in her present circumstances?
10462And what will being sick do for thee?
10462And what will this do?
10462And what woman answers affirmatively to the question?
10462And who knows but that once indulgent uncle, who has very great weight in the family, may be induced to interpose in my behalf?
10462And why do the sex love rakes, but because they know how to direct their uncertain wills, and manage them?
10462And why sayest thou she loves me?
10462And why shouldst thou punish me, for having more conscience and more remorse than thyself?
10462And will not such a man as this engross all your solitudes?
10462And will she not think herself the obliged, rather than the obliger?
10462And would a man who has nothing but faults( for pray, Sir, what are your virtues?)
10462And wouldst thou have me repent of a murder before I have committed it?
10462And wouldst thou make her unhappy for her whole life, and thyself not happy for a single moment?
10462And you say you have tried Mrs. Norton''s weight with my mother?
10462And, indeed, what is a covetous man to be likened to so fitly, as to a dog in a wheel which roasts meat for others?
10462Are there no pigeons and chickens in every poulterer''s shop?
10462Are these sayings bad, Sir?
10462Are they not now robbing his heirs?--What has thou to do, if the will be as thou''dst have it?--He sent for thee[ did he not?]
10462Are we not children of this world?
10462Are you not men born to considerable fortunes, although ye are not all of you men of parts?
10462Art thou able to say half the things in her praise, that I have said, and am continually saying or writing?
10462As the nymphs below ask, so do I, Why is night necessary?
10462But after all, see you not, my dear, more and more, the mismatch that there is in our minds?
10462But as for thy three brethren, they must do as I would have them: and so, indeed, must thou-- Else why am I your general?
10462But can there be such apprehensions between them, yet the one advise her to stay, and the other resolve to wait my imperial motion for marriage?
10462But didst ever hear who was the wisest woman?
10462But do you call this odd soul''s letter[ no more will I call him old soul, if I can help it] a love- letter?
10462But do you know the subject, Nancy?
10462But here, Jack, what shall I do with my uncle and aunts, and all my loving cousins?
10462But how shall I find this out; since her Dorcas knows no more of her dressing and undressing than her Lovelace?
10462But in a play does not the principal entertainment lie in the first four acts?
10462But is she, in the instance before us, more polite for a woman?
10462But knowest thou not young Newcomb, honest Doleman''s newphew?
10462But let me ask, Has it not been a constant maxim with us, that the greater the merit on the woman''s side, the nobler the victory on the man''s?
10462But otherwise, he had seen as many contrite faces at the Royal Chapel, as any where else: and why not?
10462But should she be so much grieved at this?
10462But suppose a person of your talents were to marry a man of inferior talents; Who, in this case, can be so happy in herself as Miss Clarissa Harlowe?
10462But thou wilt not drown the poor fellow; wilt thou?
10462But what can you promise youself, as to perseverance in them, with an immoral husband?
10462But what hinders you from leaving me?--Cannot I send to you?
10462But what is become of Lord M. I trow, that he writes not to me, in answer to my invitation?
10462But what is person with such a lady as I have the honour to be now writing to?
10462But what is this saying, but that I must be first wiser?
10462But what necessity can there be for hypocrisy, unless the generality of the sex were to refuse us for our immoralities?
10462But what points will not perseverance carry?
10462But what, said I, is the result of your inquiry?
10462But why callest thou the lady innocent?
10462But why do I translate these things for you?
10462But why so, my dear?
10462But why, now, when fairer prospects seem to open, why these melancholy reflections?
10462But why, rather I should ask, will she fight against her stars?
10462But why?--Do they think it so great a disgrace to be found out to be really what they are?
10462But, after all, I am sorry, almost sorry( for how shall I do to be quite sorry, when it is not given to me to be so?)
10462But, if not,[ was it his business, my dear, before I spoke( yet he seemed to be afraid of me) to say, if not?]
10462But, if we are good- natured and humane: if the woman has art:[ and what woman wants it, who has fallen by art?
10462Can a girl be degraded by trials, who is not overcome?
10462Can not I find one yielding or but half- yielding moment, if she do not absolutely hate me?
10462Can she herself think that she deserves not the severest punishment for the abuse of such talents as were intrusted to her?
10462Can you hope, cousin, with such a man as this to be long so good as you now are?
10462Canst thou doubt, that it was all complaisance next time she admitted me into her presence?
10462Could a man act a weaker part, had he been really married; and were he sure he was going to separate from the mother of his own children?
10462Could not the man have fallen into the subject without this parade?
10462Could they expect, that a mother would not vindicate her authority?
10462Courage whenever I assume, all is over: for, should she think of escaping from hence, whither can she fly to avoid me?
10462D. Dear Madam, would you blame me, if to wish you not to marry Mr. Antony Harlowe, is to wish well to myself?
10462D. From Mr. Antony Harlowe, I suppose, Madam?
10462D. How can I expect, Madam, that you should refuse such terms?
10462D. How, Madam, could I think of any body else?
10462D. Then he is to come again, Madam?
10462D. Will you forgive me, Madam?
10462D. Without hearing the whole of the letter?
10462Dear creature!--Did she never romp?
10462Depend they not, generally, upon their fortunes, in the views they have upon us, more than on their merits?
10462Did she never, from girlhood to now, hoyden?
10462Didst thou ever know that a woman''s denial of any favour, whether the least or the greatest, that my heart was set upon, stood her in any stead?
10462Do I what, Madam?--And why vile man?
10462Do n''t you see that his very skin is a fortification of buff?
10462Do n''t you think so, my dear?
10462Do not girls of fortune adorn themselves on purpose to engage our attention?
10462Do not the hunters of the noble game value the venison less than the sport?
10462Do not the sex carry all their points with their men by the same methods?
10462Do you defend these two gentlewomen, Sir, by reflections upon half the sex?
10462Do you know how my poor Hannah does?
10462Do you know, my dear, how this can be?
10462Do you not think, my dear, that I have reason to be incensed at him, my situation considered?
10462Does not the example you furnish, of having succeeded with her, give encouragement for others to attempt her likewise?
10462Does not the keen fox- hunter endanger his neck and his bones in pursuit of a vermin, which, when killed, is neither fit food for men nor dogs?
10462Dorcas is to be attached to her interest: my letters are to be come at by surprise or trick''-- What thinkest thou of this, Jack?
10462Dost think I brought the dear creature hither for nothing?
10462Even suppose the husband is in the wrong, will not this being so give the greater force to her expostulation?
10462For what, with a mind so unequal as his, can be my best hope?
10462For what?
10462For why, in short, should not the work of bodies be left to mere bodies?
10462For why, when they know they can not do good, may they not as well endeavour to gratify, as to nauseate, the patient''s palate?
10462For why?
10462God give us both comfort; and to the once dear-- the ever- dear creature( for can a mother forget her child?)
10462Good!--But how wilt thou manage to bring up blood, and not hurt thyself?
10462Has not she?
10462Hast thou not observed, the charming gradations by which the ensnared volatile has been brought to bear with its new condition?
10462Have I conversed with them so freely as I have done, and learnt nothing of them?
10462Have I not always told thee so?
10462Have I not called thine the plotting''st heart in the universe?
10462Have I not said, that the honour of her sex is concerned that I should try?
10462Have my uncles given their sanction, and made it a family act?
10462Have you not been impoliticly shy of her?
10462He is but an uncle, is he?
10462He owns likewise that he has not the address of Mr. Lovelace: but what a mere personal advantage is a plausible address, without morals?
10462He was full of excuses-- O my dear, what would you, even you, do with such a man as this; and in my situation?
10462How can it be?
10462How can she think to be a wife?
10462How comes it to pass, that I can not help being pleased with this virago''s spirit, though I suffer by it?
10462How could you brook to go backward, instead of forward, in those duties which you now so exemplarily perform?
10462How dare I what, Madam?
10462How dare I what?
10462How dare you curse any body in my presence?
10462How know I then, upon recollection, that my censures upon theirs are not too rash?
10462How my indignation rises for this poor consolation in the courtship[ courtship must I call it?]
10462How should I know, unless the dear creature had communicated them to me?
10462Hudibras questions well,------What mad lover ever dy''d To gain a soft and easy bride?
10462I am said, to doubt her love-- Have I not reason?
10462I am sensible that my pleas and my reasoning may be easily answered, and perhaps justly censured; But by whom censured?
10462I asked her, if she had had the small- pox?
10462I find he was full of expectation that I should meet him with a very favourable, who knows but with a thankful, aspect?
10462I need not bid you respect me mightily: your allegiance obliges you to that: And who that sees me, respects me not?
10462I saw not, I said, begging her pardon, that she liked any body.--[Plain dealing for plain dealing, Jack!--Why then did she abuse my friends?]
10462I took her reluctant hand, and pressed it to my lips.--Dearest, loveliest of creatures, why this distance?
10462I would have flung from him in resentment; but he would not let me: and what could I do?
10462If a woman suspects a rogue in an honest man, is it not enough to make the honest man who knows it a rogue?
10462If he come, it will be in pursuance of that line, I presume?
10462If now she has so little liking to his morals, has she not reason before to have as little?
10462If such a man as Mr. Lovelace knows not this, who should?
10462If they were faulty in some of the measures they took, while they themselves did not think so, who shall judge for them?
10462If women have such things in their heads, why should not I in my heart?
10462If you ask me, my dear, how this caution befits me?
10462If your parents and you differ in sentiment on this important occasion, let me ask you, my dear cousin, who ought to give way?
10462In what light am I to look upon you?
10462Is he not?
10462Is it he?
10462Is it not generally agreed that he can not recover?
10462Is it not plain, my dear, that he designs to vex and tease me?
10462Is not all in a manner over when you come to the fifth?
10462Is not the devil said to be the god of this world?
10462Is not the world full of these deceptions?
10462Is the devil in the girl?
10462Is the passion you boast of to be thus shockingly demonstrated?
10462Is this to be borne by a Lovelace?
10462Knowest thou not, that I am a great name- father?
10462M. And suppose he be?
10462M. Old soul, Nancy!--And thus to call him for being a bachelor, not having a child!--Does this become you?
10462M. That sum has your approbation then?
10462M. What now would the pert one be at?
10462M. What would the girl say?
10462M.[ Lips drawn closer: eye raised] Why, my dear!--I can not but own-- But how, I wonder, could you think of Mr. Anthony Harlowe?
10462May I be allowed to read his letter?
10462Memorandum, To be considered of-- Whether, in order to complete my vengeance, I can not contrive to kidnap away either James Harlowe or Solmes?
10462Mennell?
10462Most confoundedly alarmed!--Lord, Sir, what do you think?
10462Mrs. Sinclair came out at that instant, and asked me, if I did not choose a dish of chocolate?
10462Must I not with such a man, says she, be wanting to myself, were I not jealous and vigilant?
10462Must it not even rise strongest upon a thoughtful mind, when her hopes are the fairest?
10462My cursed character, as I have often said, was against me at setting out--Yet is she not a woman?
10462My dearest creature, need I to have mentioned any thing of this?
10462My dearest life,[ taking her still folded hands in mine,] who can bear an invocation so affecting, though so passionate?
10462My dearest love, are you well?
10462My dearest, dearest creature, would you incur a maternal, as I have a paternal, malediction?
10462Nor was my Rosebud the only girl I spared:--When my power was acknowledged, who more merciful than thy friend?
10462Now, Belford, were I to go no farther than I have gone with my beloved Miss Harlowe, how shall I know the difference between her and another bird?
10462Now, my dear, is not this a particular incident, either as I have made it, or as it was designed?
10462O my beloved creature, will not this be agreeable to you?
10462O my dearest life, said he, why will you banish me from your presence?
10462On my return, meeting Dorcas on the stairs-- Your lady in her chamber, Dorcas?
10462Or shall I roundly accost him, in the words, in the form, which you, my dear, prescribed?
10462Or, for a lady tender- hearted, In purling streams, or hemp, departed?
10462Rememebrest thou not this scene?
10462Seek they not to draw us into their snares?
10462Shall we deprive them of the benefit of their principal dependence?--Can I, in particular, marry every girl who wishes to obtain my notice?
10462She asked, if she might take a copy of Miss Montague''s letter?
10462She found, said he, that I was unable to determine about entering upon it; and now who knows when such a vapourish creature will come to a resolution?
10462She is in my eye all mind: and were she to meet with a man all mind likewise, why should the charming qualities she is mistress of be endangered?
10462She proceeded: What now remains, but that you pronounce me free of all obligation to you?
10462Should she attempt to fly me upon it, can not I detain her?
10462Sick!--Why sick?
10462So likewise her father fears; her brother hears; and what can I do?
10462Suppose I were to be unhappy, what, my dear, would this resolution of yours avail me?
10462Tell me, Madam, I conjure you to tell me, this moment, without subterfuge or reserve, in what light am I to appear to you in future?
10462The dear girl hoped that nothing had passed in her behaviour to give me dislike to her.--Should she bring her to me?
10462The first word he asked Dorcas, was, If I had received a letter since he had been out?
10462The more noble any one is, the more humble; so bear with me, if you would be thought noble.--Am I not your uncle?
10462The women below say she hates me; she despises me!--And''tis true: she does; she must.--And why can not I take their advice?
10462Then so sensual!--How will a young lady of your delicacy bear with so sensual a man?
10462Then turning to him, I asked, if he kept me there his prisoner?
10462There, Belford!--Worse off than Mercury!--Art thou not?
10462They doubt not my generosity, they say: But why for my own sake, in Lord M.''s style, should I make so long a harvest of so little corn?
10462Those, Mr. Belford, who most love, are least set by.--But who would expect velvet to be made out of a sow''s ear?
10462To stand by, and see fair play between an old man and death?
10462Was not this my motive for bringing her hither?
10462Was not this plain speaking, think you, my dear?
10462Well then, will he not be obliged to declare himself?
10462Well, but shall we not be in danger of being hanged for three such enormous rapes, although Hickman should escape with only a bellyful of sea- water?
10462Well, but to the letter-- Yet what need of further explanation after the hints in my former?
10462Well, then, shall this poor privilege, that we may part with a woman if we will, be deemed a balance for the other inconveniencies?
10462Were not hesitation, a self- felt glow, a downcast eye, encouragement more than enough?
10462What a figure should I make in rakish annals, if at last I should be caught in my own gin?
10462What a- devil shouldst thou be sick for?
10462What could I say?
10462What for?
10462What is it, pray?
10462What is the whole world to me, weighed against such a friend as you are?
10462What is there in an easy conquest?
10462What may happen next, whether a storm or a calm, with such a spirit as I have to deal with, who can tell?
10462What room for delicacy now?--Or would you have me write to him?
10462What sayest thou to this, Jack?
10462What signifies her keeping me thus at a distance?
10462What signifies power, if we do not exert it?
10462What signifies thy tedious whining over thy departing relation?
10462What therefore, upon the whole, do we get by treading in these crooked paths, but danger, disgrace, and a too- late repentance?
10462What think you, my dear, of this expedient?
10462What think you?
10462What woulds''t thou more?
10462What''s the matter now?
10462What, in the first place, wilt thou ask, shall be done with Hickman?
10462What, my dearest cousin, shall I plead first to you on this occasion?
10462What, pray, Sir, can be pleaded for the condescension, as you call it?
10462What, pray, is her objection to Mrs. Sinclair''s?
10462What, says he, might have become of me, and of my projects, had not her father, and the rest of the implacables, stood my friends?
10462Whither go, the evening advanced?
10462Who can account for the workings of an apprehensive mind, when all that is dear and valuable to it is at stake?
10462Who is it in this mortal life that wealth does not mislead?
10462Who knows, but on that very Monday night I may be so unhappy as to give mortal offence to my beloved?
10462Who knows, she says, but her dear friend was permitted to swerve, in order to bring about his reformation?
10462Who so proper to assist in making new holding laws, as those whom no law in being could hold?
10462Who, that hath such, will let''em be idle?
10462Why can not I make every day equally happy?
10462Why look you so solemn upon me?
10462Why should I mince the matter?
10462Why should he wish to expose his children to the scorn and insults of the rest of the world?
10462Why should such an angel be plunged so low as into the vulgar offices of a domestic life?
10462Why that word approbation?
10462Why then I shall have the less remorse, if I am to use a little violence: for can she deserve compassion, who shows none?
10462Why then do they keep tormenting him?
10462Why then does my foolish fondness seek to establish for her the same merit in my heart, as if she avowed it?
10462Why then should you hesitate a moment to confirm my happiness?
10462Why, again I repeat, should he have been desirous to bring me into such company?
10462Why, my dear, if you love me, will you not rather give another friend to one who has not two she is sure of?
10462Why, once more, would you banish me from you?
10462Why, why, my dear, will you fright me with your flaming love?
10462Why?
10462Will it not be kind in thee to put him out of his misery?
10462Will you say, your merits, either with regard to them, or to myself, may?
10462Will your indifference never be over?
10462With whom, think you?
10462Would I vouchsafe to say, whether I approved of his compliment to Lord M. or not?
10462Would not a brave fellow choose to appear in court to such an arraignment, confronting women who would do credit to his attempt?
10462Would not the world think there was an infection in my fault, if it were to be followed by Miss Howe?
10462Would to heaven-- but what signifies wishing?
10462Yes, to be sure, when caught-- But is there any likelihood of that?-- Besides, have we not been in danger before now for worse facts?
10462Yet considers not that a woman so perfect can never be displeased with her husband but to his disgrace: For who will blame her?
10462Yet do not her parents richly deserve to be in tears?
10462Yet the former with a freer will than the latter; for how can I leave my goddess?
10462Yet, how my soul thirsts for revenge upon both these ladies?
10462You are sure, that you can go abroad when you please?
10462You give yourself very free airs-- don''t you?
10462You will believe I can not: for how shall I tell him that all his compliments are misbestowed?
10462a man who makes a jest of his vows?
10462all his warnings vain?
10462and after sitting up with you, equally against my will, till a very late hour?
10462and do I not design to be better to you than your father could be?
10462and how do you know, if you once give way, where you shall be suffered, where you shall be able, to stop?
10462and is it thus you would entrap me?
10462and that even my highest expectation is to be the wife of that free- liver, whom he so pathetically warns me to shun?
10462and that our correspondence is safe?
10462and that you hinder me not from pursuing the destiny that shall be allotted me?
10462and to whose precarious situation art is so necessary?]
10462and why should he make them think themselves under obligation to every person of character, who will vouchsafe to visit them?
10462and wouldst thou give operation and completion to that curse, which otherwise can not have effect?
10462are they to be despised?--Well, then, why should I be despised for remembering them, and quoting them, as I love to do?
10462as I have often said, can not you touch a lady''s heart without wounding her ear?
10462betrayed by his own tenderness, and unused to female tears, would have been overcome?
10462expect that I should show a value for him?
10462for what relation has a lover''s heart to a rusty pair of hinges?
10462if this be right to be done, how difficult is it, where modesty and self( or where pride, if you please) is concerned, to do that right?
10462is it not enough that she is teased and tormented in person by me?
10462or both?
10462said I, can you think I have not some curiosity?
10462said I.--If you are a man of honour, what need of all this strange obliquity?
10462she may not yield to nightly surprises?
10462that all his advice is thrown away?
10462was it not, my dear?
10462watchful as you are, what could have happened?
10462when the greatest pride of all my family is, that of having the honour of so dear a creature for their relation?
10462why comest thou not just now, while these black prospects are before me?
10462why this displeasure?--How can you thus torture the faithfullest heart in the world?
10462will my beloved friend ask of her Clarissa?
10462with a trembling impatience, that seemed not affected-- What say you for to- morrow?
10462wouldst thou not have me act in character?
9881''And wilt thou, Lovelace, abuse that power which--''Which what, Belford?
9881''Are not provocations and temptations the tests of virtue?
9881''Do you incline to go to Florence to your cousin Morden?
9881''Forgive me, Madam-- I have just done-- Have I not, in your opinion, hazarded my life to redeem you from oppression?
9881''Is there but one Lovelace in the world?
9881''May not then the success of him, who could carry her thus far, be allowed to be an encouragement for him to try to carry her farther?''
9881''Now, what were her inducements to this correspondence?''
9881''That her regrets increase instead of diminish?
9881''That she shall not be easy while she is with me?
9881''Was a person of virtue to be prevailed upon to break through her apparent, her acknowledged duty, upon any consideration?''
9881( methinks thou askest with surprise) Dost thou question this most admirable of women?--The virtue of a CLARISSA dost thou question?
9881* Canst thou tell me, Jack, who says this?
9881* Why should you not have permitted him to send for Lord M.''s chaplain?
9881* Yet what means the man by foregoing the opportunities he has had to declare himself?--What mean his complaints of my restrictions to Mrs. Greme?
9881*) make me unhappy, when novelty has lost its charms, and when, mind and person, she is all my own?
9881***** What can be done with a woman who is above flattery, and despises all praise but that which flows from the approbation of her own heart?
9881-- But pray, Sir, interrupting him, how came you to apprehend that I should revoke my intention?
9881A Clarissa!--Was your love for such a man above your reason?
9881Above your resolution?
9881All hands at work in preparation for London.--What makes my heart beat so strong?
9881All this is mighty good, Sir: But to what does it tend?
9881Am I already lord of the destiny of a Clarissa Harlowe?
9881Am I already the reformed man thou resolvest I should be, before I had the least encouragement given me?
9881And I verily think I should be inclined to spare her all further trial( and yet what trial has she had?)
9881And again the wretch, instead of pressing his former question, asked me, If I forgave him for the humble suit he had made to me?
9881And am I so reduced, as that, to save the poor remains of my reputation in the world''s eye, I must watch the gracious motion from this man''s lips?
9881And as to this man, what can I do?
9881And can I be a villain to such an angel!--I hope not-- But why, Belford, why, once more, puttest thou me in mind, that she may be overcome?
9881And can she keep this love at bay?
9881And can there be a necessity for me to answer this?
9881And can you not think it is hard for a good parent to imagine herself under the unhappy necessity of so treating her woman- grown daughter?
9881And do I not see that I shall need nothing but patience, in order to have all power with me?
9881And do not her faults bring more disgrace upon a husband than even upon herself?''
9881And does this lady spare me?
9881And for which her own family will not forgive her?
9881And had not the rencounter then happened?
9881And if he had, would not there have been an end of all his pretensions and hopes?
9881And is her virtue founded in pride?--And, if the answer to these questions be affirmative, must she not then be a woman?''
9881And is not the man the most wicked of plotters?
9881And is she capable of affectation?
9881And may not such an apprehension give her an irreconcilable displeasure against me?
9881And now I mention that letter, why dost thou not wish me joy, Jack?
9881And now, Belford, what wilt thou say, if, like the fly buzzing about the bright taper, I had like to have singed the silken wings of my liberty?
9881And now, let me tell thee, that never was joy so complete as mine!--But let me inquire, is not the angel flown away?
9881And shall I marry a woman, who has given me reason to doubt the preference she has for me?
9881And shall I not first see the issue of one application?
9881And shall that necessary increase of care sit uneasy upon us, because we are grown up to stature and womanhood?
9881And then I asked him, what he really, and in his most deliberate mind, would advise me to, in my present situation?
9881And then for a little hint at reprisal-- am I not justified in my resolutions of trying her virtue, who is resolved, as I may say, to try mine?
9881And then, did I ever make him any promises?
9881And what can a lover say to his mistress, if she will neither let him lie nor swear?
9881And what could the lady say to this?
9881And what did you intend to do to Mr. Solmes?
9881And what have you not borne from them?
9881And what results?--''Is then the divine Clarissa capable of loving a man whom she ought not to love?
9881And what was this?
9881And what, Madam, will gaining time do?
9881And what, at this rate, is the general conclusion to be drawn from the premises?--Is it not, That no man ought to be vain?
9881And when our dangers multiply, both from within and without, do not our parents know, that their vigilance ought to be doubled?
9881And whether she be to be a wife at the first or at the second hand?
9881And who ever knew a rake stick at any thing?
9881And who has a right to controul a father''s judgment in his own family, and in relation to his own child?
9881And who knows what opportunities a man in love may have against himself?
9881And who shall put her to this trial?
9881And why is her own reliance on my honour so late and so reluctantly shown?
9881And why shouldst thou tempt her virtue?--Why shouldst thou wish to try where there is no reason to doubt?
9881And will not the reflections upon that wrong( what though it may be construed in my favour?
9881And will you, will you thus ungenerously, Mr. Lovelace, take advantage of my fears?
9881And wo n''t it be admirable, if, either through fear, fright, or good liking, we can get my beloved to accept of Dorcas Wykes for a bed- fellow?
9881And yet, on second thoughts, am I not a rake, as it is called?
9881And you will be honnerable and kind to my dearest young lady, God love her.--But who can be unkind to she?
9881And, if not, was she to be so prevailed upon to prevent an apprehended evil only?
9881And, indeed, for what now should she plot?
9881Are you not gone off?--With a Lovelace too?
9881But I am afraid that you was too scrupulous: for did he not resent that reference?
9881But again, let me stop.--Is there not something wrong, has there not been something wrong, in this divine creature?
9881But are not all rakes sad fellows?--And art not thou, to thy little power, as bad as any?
9881But can it be your opinion, that he intends to humble me down to the level of his mean pride?
9881But can the heart of man be so very vile?
9881But do you think I might not be safe and private in London?
9881But had he not been passive, as you call it, what would you have done to Mr. Solmes?
9881But has she had the candour, the openness, to acknowledge that love?
9881But has she not, as above, already taken steps, which she herself condemns?
9881But here comes the widow with Dorcas Wykes in her hand, and I am to introduce them both to my fair- one?
9881But how came it to pass, that one man could get out at the garden- door, and no more?
9881But how shall I do to make my fair- one keep her temper on the intimation?
9881But how wilt thou hinder the lady from apprizing her friend of the real name?
9881But if she will not, what a selfishness would there be in my love to you, were I to wish you to forego your duty for my sake?
9881But if you had not met him, you see that he was resolved to visit them, and well attended too: and what must have been the consequence?
9881But in exercising that talent, chooses rather to turn its eye outward than inward?
9881But is it not a confounded thing that I can not fasten an obligation upon this proud beauty?
9881But is it not my duty to try for it?
9881But is not that pride abated?
9881But knowest thou not my aversion to the state of shackles?--And is she not IN MY POWER?
9881But let me ask thee, Is not calamity the test of virtue?
9881But let me ask you, Madam, What have you borne from me?
9881But let me, in my turn, ask thee-- Is not, may not her virtue be founded rather in pride than in principle?
9881But once more, consider, could you possibly obtain that delay which seems to be your only dependence, whether you may not be closer confined?
9881But seest thou not now( as I think I do) the wind outstripping fair one flying from her love to her love?
9881But since I can not, will you be so good as to tell me what you would wish to have done?
9881But what could I say to this?--Extorted from him, as it seemed to me, rather as the effect of his compassion than his love?
9881But what dost think Deb''s name is to be?
9881But what, methinks thou askest, is to become of the lady if she fail?
9881But why did not the man show me these letters last night?
9881But why should she be more concerned for the safety of others than they were for their own?
9881But why shoulde it?
9881But why will this admirable creature urge her destiny?
9881But why, as in the chariot, as in the inn, at alighting, all heart- bursting grief, my dearest creature?
9881But why, but why unhappy, my dearest life?
9881But you ask me, if I would treat Mr. Lovelace, were he to be in Mr. Hickman''s place, as I do Mr. Hickman?
9881But you want to clear up things-- what can you clear up?
9881But, once more, can it be?
9881By all this, seest thou not how greatly preferable it is, on twenty accounts, to pursue a difficult rather than an easy chace?
9881By such exalted qualities?
9881Ca n''t you go on, Sir?
9881Ca n''t you go on, Sir?
9881Can I avoid concern, when those bickerings are on my account?
9881Can he, dare he, mock the Almighty?
9881Can she make him, who has been accustomed to triumph over other women, tremble?
9881Can you expect to be happy?
9881Can you think that Heaven will seal to the black passions of its depraved creatures?
9881Common bruit!--Is virtue to be established by common bruit only?--Has her virtue ever been proved?--Who has dared to try her virtue?
9881Did I ever profess a love for him?
9881Did I ever wish for the continuance of his address?
9881Did I not furnish you with stories enough, without hers, against myself, to augment your credit with your cunning masters?
9881Did she ever receive him as a lover?
9881Did she ever, she asks, make him any promises?
9881Did she persist in it against parental prohibition?
9881Did they not, at their own church, cluster together like bees, when they saw me enter it?
9881Did you not do for the best at the time?
9881Didst thou ever before hear of a man uttering solemn things by an involuntary impulse, in defiance of premeditation, and of all his proud schemes?
9881Do n''t you remember his pragmatical triumph, as told you by your aunt, and prided in by that saucy Betty Barnes, from his own foolish mouth?
9881Do not their grandmothers give them one easy rule-- Men are to ask-- Women are to deny?
9881Do you propose, Sir, said I, to take up your lodgings in the house where I shall lodge?
9881Do you think me the jay in the fable?
9881Do you think that my unhappy circumstances will alter my notions of my own duty so far as I shall be enabled to perform it?
9881Does not your brother''s project convince you more and more of this?
9881Does she not outdo me at every fair weapon?
9881Except your mother, who has no will of her own, have any of them common sense?
9881For how should I have resisted a condescending, a kneeling father, had he been able to have kept his temper with me?
9881For in that period do we not generally attract the eyes of the other sex, and become the subject of their addresses, and not seldom of their attempts?
9881For is not a wife the keeper of a man''s honour?
9881Grief so extreme: no pleasure in prospect, nor so much as in wish-- O my dear, who could think of entering into so solemn an engagement?
9881Has not God commanded us to bless and curse not?
9881Has not your family, Madam, some one tradesman they deal with, who has conveniences of this kind?
9881Has she been capable of error?
9881Has she not made me doubt her love?
9881Has she not taken officious pains to declare that she was not averse to Solmes for any respect she had to me?
9881Hast thou not been a witness of my ravings on this score?
9881Hast thou not reason to think it so?
9881Have I not had it in my heart to do some good that thou canst not remind me of?
9881Have I not, in the height of them, vowed revenge upon the faithless charmer?
9881Have I offered to defy the laws of society, as this brother of yours must do, if any thing be intended by this project?
9881Have we not suffered in the same cause?
9881Have you any acquaintance at Windsor?
9881He asked me to give him leave to propose, whether I chose to set out next day to either of his aunts?
9881He asked whether I would choose to lodge in the town of Windsor, or out of it?
9881He asked, if I had considered whither to have them directed?
9881He had the thought which I had not( for what had I to do with thinking, who had it not when I stood most in need of it?)
9881He is not a bashful man.--But you say, I inspire people with an awe of me.--An awe, my dear!--As how?
9881How can I obtain possession without litigation, and but by my trustees?
9881How can a daughter of spirits bear such language; such looks too with the language; and not have a longing mind to disobey?
9881How comes it about, I wonder, that a young lady so noted for predominating generosity, should not be uniformly generous?
9881How could this man, with such powers of right thinking, be so far depraved by evil habits, as to disgrace his talents by wrong acting?
9881How often, Mr. Lovelace, must I repeat, that I will not litigate with my father?
9881How shall I take it?
9881Humble a woman, and may she not be effectually humbled?
9881I am accustomed to be preferred, let me tell thee, by thy equals in rank too, though thy inferiors in merit: But who is not so?
9881I asked him( to hear what he would say) if he could recommend me to any particular place in London?
9881I asked him, if he thought such enormities as these, such defiances of the laws of society, would have passed unpunished?
9881I asked, in some confusion, what he would say?
9881I do to every body; and why?
9881I have but this one chance for it; for is not the day after to- morrow Wednesday?
9881I intended, indeed, to have stood it: And, if I had, how know I by whose name I might now have been called?
9881I may send to you, although you are forbid to write to me; may I not?--For that is not a correspondence( is it?)
9881I now, my dear, began to revive into a little more warmth of attention.--''And all, Madam, for what?''
9881I shall have him[ Who knows?]
9881I think you mentioned one to me, Sir-- Did you not?
9881I told him I designed to do so, through you-- And shall I beg of you, my dear, to cause the honest creature to be sent to?
9881If I can have her without marriage, who can blame me for trying?
9881If all this is heavy, lay your hand to your heart, and ask yourself, why you have deserved it?
9881If he has had any extraordinary trouble on my account, may he not thank himself for it?
9881If his pretences to reformation are but pretences, what must be his intent?
9881If impeccable, how came she by her impeccability?
9881If mutual, does it not imply mutual trust, mutual confidence?
9881If not what her niceness makes her think blameworthy, why does she blame herself?
9881If not, what may be the consequence?
9881If thou designest to be honest, methinkst thou sayest, Why should not Singleton''s plot be over with thee, as it is with her brother?
9881If well, whose modesty is it he distresses, but that of his own wife?
9881If you would have me rely upon your honour, why should you doubt of mine?
9881In justice to the man I shall have, I have vowed this: for, my dear, must I not be miserable, if you are so?
9881In what a strong light, then, must that error appear to her, that should so totally turn her heart against me, herself not a principal in the case?
9881In what manner do you expect to confirm it?
9881Indeed, my dear, I was very ill. And was I, moreover, to be as ready to accept his offer as if I were afraid he never would repeat it?
9881Is every body to take advantage thus of the weakness of my temper?
9881Is it in my power to take your advice, if I should think it ever so right to take it?
9881Is it not dealing ingenuously?
9881Is it now, my dear, a time for you to be afraid of being precipitated?
9881Is it so hard for you, my dear, to be treated like a child?
9881Is it thus, that the more thou knowest me, the less thou seest reason to approve of me?--And can art and design enter into a breast so celestial?
9881Is not that seen every day, from the prince to the peasant?
9881Is not the space from sixteen to twenty- one that which requires this care, more than at any time of a young woman''s life?
9881Is not then the whole sex concerned that this trial should be made?
9881Is this a time, Mr. Lovelace, is this a proper occasion taken, to give yourself these high airs to me, a young creature destitute of protection?
9881It would be a miracle, as thou sayest, if this lady can save herself-- And having gone so far, how can I recede?
9881It would be a pain to either to do so: What then is it in either''s approving of her own natural bias, but making a virtue of necessity?
9881Jack, when I see my angel, when I am admitted to the presence of this radiant beauty, what will become of all this vapouring?
9881James and Arabella may have their motives; but what can be said for a father acting as this father has acted?
9881Joy, of what?
9881Let LOVE then be the motive:--Love of whom?
9881Let me go back, then-- let me, before it is too late, go back, that it may not be worse for both-- What mean you by this forcible treatment?
9881Let me hear, said I,( willing to try if he had any particular view,) what you think most advisable?
9881Lord have mercy upon me!--But can it be?
9881Love you still!--How can I help it, if I would?
9881Lovelace?--said I-- Would you thus expose yourself?
9881Malice and ill- will, sitting in judgment upon my character, may not give sentence in my favour: But what of your own knowledge have you against me?
9881May I send it safely by your old man?
9881May not more Lovelaces be attracted by so fine a figure?
9881May there not be other Lovelaces, thou askest, who, attracted by her beauty, may endeavour to prevail with her?
9881Mean time, would I go to Lady Betty Lawrance''s( Lady Sarah was a melancholy woman)?
9881More than a match?
9881Must I never be at liberty to follow my own judgment?
9881Must not all, the dreadful all follow, that is torture to my heart but to think of?
9881My inducements to this are not owing to virtue: But if they were, what hope could I have of affecting thee by pleas arising from it?
9881My maiden vow, as I may call it!--For did not the sex begin with me?
9881My mind is, that you, Sir, should leave me out of hand-- How often must I tell you so?
9881Nor ask thou, shall the man be guilty, yet expect the woman to be guiltless, and even unsuspectible?
9881O Sir, do you want to be complimented into repentance and salvation?
9881O my dearest creature, do these preparations mean only a trial?
9881Of persisting in that error?
9881One evil draws on another after it; and how knows she, or any body, where it may stop?
9881Or is it Solomon?--King Solomon-- Thou remembrest to have read of such a king, dost thou not?
9881Ought not a balance to be struck; and the credit carried to my account?--Yet I must own too, that I half grudge Johnny this blooming maiden?
9881Shall I go and fetch the worthy woman myself?
9881Shall I send?
9881Shall not others as they please?
9881She consented; and asked what security I expected?
9881She must first know it herself, monkey, must she not?
9881She would not see him in a dishabille for the world-- What can she mean by it?
9881Shun not, therefore, my dear soul, further trials, nor hate me for making them.--''For what woman can be said to be virtuous till she has been tried?
9881So lively the one, so vigilant, so prudent both, who would not wish to outwit such girls, and to be able to twirl them round his finger?
9881So, Sir, you would have me employ a lawyer, would you, notwithstanding what I have ever declared as to litigating with my father?
9881Steps, which the world and her own family did not think her capable of taking?
9881Surely I am my own mistress: surely I need not ask your leave to make what terms I please for myself, so long as I break none with you?
9881Tell me not of politeness; tell me not of generosity; tell me not of compassion-- Is she not a match for me?
9881That I am not one who improve upon her in my conversation and address?''
9881That if I think she deserves the compliments I make her, I may pride myself in those arts, by which I have made a fool of so extraordinary a person?
9881That she knows better than to value herself upon my volubility?
9881That she shall never forgive herself for meeting me, nor me for seducing her away?''
9881That she will take care of herself; and, since her friends thing it not worth while to pursue her, she will be left to her own care?
9881That they are raised( instigated shall I say?)
9881That you are determined to have it in your power to favour or reject me totally, as you please?''
9881That your generosity should fail in an instance where policy, prudence, gratitude, would not permit it to fail?
9881The man to be so bashful; the woman to want so much courting!--How shall two such come together-- no kind mediatress in the way?
9881The wretch you are with, we are told, is every hour triumphing and defying-- Must not these informations aggravate?
9881Then who says Miss Clarissa Harlowe is the paragon of virtue?--Is virtue itself?
9881Then, what a triumph would it be to the Harlowe pride, were I now to marry this lady?
9881Thou seest what bias here takes-- And wilt thou doubt that mine will be determined by it?
9881To banish me from thee, to insist so rigorously upon my absence, in order to bring me closer to thee, and make the blessing dear?
9881To be clamoured at for repairs studied for, rather than really wanted?
9881To be denied a fox- chace, for breaking down a fence upon my own grounds?
9881To leave you now, would be to lose you for ever-- Am I to be thus compelled?
9881To my point--''What must that virtue be which will not stand a trial?--What that woman who would wish to shun it?''
9881To the test then, as I said, since now I have the question brought home to me, Whether I am to have a wife?
9881Upon these principles, what had I to do but to construe her silence into contemptuous displeasure?
9881Was a daughter ever known who had higher notions of the filial duty, of the parental authority?
9881Was he afraid of giving me too much pleasure?
9881Was he not called, by his very soldiers, on one of his triumphant entries into Rome, the bald- pated lecher?
9881Was it Socrates?
9881Was not the great Caesar a great rake as to women?
9881Was there ever a giddier creature?--Yet this is the celebrated, the blazing Clarissa-- Clarissa what?
9881We have had a charming dialogue-- She flung from me in a passion-- So-- What''s now to be done?
9881Well, but how comes all this about?
9881Well, but what in such a situation is to be done?
9881Were not her faults, before this, numerous enough?
9881Were not his objections as to the publicness of the place, I asked him, as strong now as before?
9881What a wicked schemer you are, Sir!--Who shall avenge upon you the still greater evils which you have been guilty of?
9881What an useful lesson would this afford, were it properly inculcated at the time that the tempted mind was balancing upon a doubtful adventure?
9881What books can tell her more than she knows?
9881What can one oppose but sullens, when it would be unpardonable so much as to think of lifting up a finger?
9881What cause have I given you to treat me with so much severity and so little confidence?
9881What could I say?
9881What could he mean by letting slip such a one as that you mention?
9881What do I keep fellows idling in the country for, but to fall in love, and even to marry those whom I would have them marry?
9881What followed this execution?
9881What for a mother?
9881What for an aunt?
9881What for uncles?--Who can have patience with such fellows and fellowesses?
9881What had I to do but to try for a palliation of my confusion, since it served me not?
9881What is that, Sir?
9881What is the conclusion to be drawn from these premises?
9881What is the love of a rakish heart?
9881What likelihood of corrupting a man who has no hope, no ambition?
9881What may not both men and women be brought to do in a mortified state?
9881What mean you, Mr. Lovelace?
9881What means he by it, she asks, yet forego such opportunities as he had?
9881What mind is superior to calamity?
9881What now sayest thou to me, Belford?
9881What politeness can be expected from such a man?
9881What say you, Mr. Lovelace?
9881What sayest thou to the lady, Jack?
9881What signifies wishing, my dear?
9881What will signify expostulations against a ceremony performed?
9881What, my dear, would you clear up?
9881What?--Why will she not,''if once subdued, be always subdued?''
9881When a general must regulate himself by the motions of a watchful adversary, how can he say beforehand what he will, or what he will not, do?
9881When has that been questionable?
9881When we had got in the chariot, and it began to move, he asked me, whether I had any objection to go to Lord M.''s Hertfordshire seat?
9881Whence can this be, but from a likeness in nature?
9881Whence this change, Sir?
9881Whether I chose to go to either of Lord M.''s seats; that of Berks, or that in the county we were in?
9881Whether I chose to have private lodgings procured for me in either of those ladies''neighbourhood, as were once my thoughts?
9881Whither, Sir, do you draw me?--Leave me this moment-- Do you seek to keep me till my return shall grow dangerous or impracticable?
9881Who can avoid hesitating when he thinks of an offence against her?
9881Who has declared that she will not marry me, till she has hopes of my reformation?
9881Who knows what such a man may do?
9881Who will be afraid of a trail for this divine creature?
9881Who will dare to form plots and stratagems against my wife?
9881Who, so unprepared, could seem to be so ready?
9881Whose daughter is she?--And is she not a daughter?
9881Why did you meet him then, chariot and six, horsemen, all prepared by him?
9881Why mention you, my dear, the saving you from mortifications, who have gone off with a man?
9881Why rises it to my throat in such half- choking flutters, when I think of what this removal may do for me?
9881Why said he with a man, instead of with him?
9881Why should I not, when it is as much the desire of my heart, as it is of thine, to prevent mischief?
9881Why should narrowness run away with the praises due to a noble expansion of heart?
9881Why should she hate the man who loves her upon proof?
9881Why this squeamishness then, honest Joseph?
9881Why to Windsor?
9881Why will she defy the power she is absolutely dependent upon?
9881Why will she deny me her company, till she makes me lose my patience, and lay myself open to her resentment?
9881Why will she put me upon looking back?
9881Why will she still wish to my face that she had never left her father''s house?
9881Why would not the dear creature accept of me, when I so sincerely offered myself to her acceptance?
9881Why, Sir, do n''t I neither use ceremony enough with you?
9881Why, is she not here?
9881Why, says he, did I not think of it before?--And snatching my hand, Shall I write, Madam?
9881Why?
9881Will the man you are with part willingly with you?
9881Would I choose to go to London( for a very few days only) in order to furnish myself with clothes?
9881Would she not have me think I have a precious soul, as well as she?
9881Would she not, do you think, my dear, be prevailed upon to have the communication made to her, in confidence?
9881Would you have me visit the owners of the borrowed dresses in their own clothes?
9881Would you stay to be Solmes''s wife?--Can this be your determination at last?
9881Would you thus expose me?--Is this your generosity?
9881Would you, Mr. Lovelace, in earnest, advise me to think of going to London?
9881Yet what stead has either your prudence or your duty stood you in, with people so strangely determined?
9881Yet, in my disapprobation of that, I judge by that event only: for who would have divined it would have been concluded as it did?
9881You would not surely wish, said he, to fall into your brother''s hands by such a violent measure as this?
9881Your advice had great weight with me just then, as well as his reasons, and the consideration of my unhappy situation: But what could I say?
9881Your merits, my dear, but aggravate your fault.--Something of fresh aggravation every hour.--How can any favour be expected?
9881Your poor mother-- but why should I afflict you?
9881Your sufferings then, if you please, Sir?
9881Yourself being judge, I suppose, Sir?
9881[ draw me not thus-- How dare you, Sir?
9881and her sorrow for putting herself out of his reach, that is to say, for meeting me?
9881and if thou pleadest honour, ought not honour to be mutual?
9881and so soon?
9881and warning given of him to the wives, as well as to the daughter of his fellow- citizens?
9881are you so critical then?
9881does she propose to reform me for?
9881for he had the devil of a wife-- Or who?
9881how, that that man kept aloof, as it were, and pursued us not; nor ran back to alarm the house?
9881let me only know whether you intend to leave me; or whether I have only escaped from one confinement to another?
9881methinks thou askest.--Thou, Lovelace, dealest in wonders, yet aimest not at the marvellous!--How did all this come about?
9881of my wishes to prevent mischief?
9881said I.--Know you of any convenient lodgings there?
9881that I had nothing to fear from meeting with parents who so dearly loved me.-- How could I be complaisant, my dear, to such a man as this?
9881thought I,[ but I charge thee, that thou let not any of the sex know my exultation,*] Is it so soon come to this?
9881what had I to do to give him hope that I would personally acquaint him with the reason for my change of mind, if I did change it?
9881yet how, as long as I am situated, can I put them right?
3622About your brother?
3622Ah;--yes;--what is it? 3622 Ai n''t it?
3622All right? 3622 All what, sir?"
3622All?
3622Am I not as clear from blame towards you?
3622Am I?
3622And I suppose seemed when you started to be unnecessary?
3622And Lady Mary?
3622And Silverbridge has said as much?
3622And about--?
3622And are coming back to dinner? 3622 And are you?"
3622And bring me back?
3622And especially so with Lady Mary?
3622And has this been-- odd,--to yourself?
3622And he is a great Nimrod?
3622And he wo n''t be a Liberal?
3622And is that all?
3622And must that be all?
3622And now what are we to do?
3622And now what do you mean to do with yourself immediately?
3622And now, Mrs. Finn, what is to come next?
3622And she has accepted?
3622And should it not have been for you to decide that you would wait?
3622And show me what you write?
3622And so poor Frank has been turned out of heaven?
3622And so you became intimate with the whole family?
3622And suppose he can not marry you, because of his-- aristocracy?
3622And sweeter than any god those pagan races knew? 3622 And that friend of yours came in?"
3622And then?
3622And there is nothing?
3622And therefore you would try him after this fashion? 3622 And what are you doing here?"
3622And what did he say?
3622And what have you settled on since you last spoke to me?
3622And what is your voice?
3622And where are you going?
3622And which do you care for the most?
3622And which is the horse of your colour?
3622And why did n''t you come?
3622And why did you not tell me?
3622And why not her?
3622And why not you a ring?
3622And why not?
3622And why not?
3622And why should I tell you? 3622 And why, when we were at Custins, did you not tell me about yourself?"
3622And why? 3622 And why?
3622And will he be sent down?
3622And will you let me explain something?
3622And you are condemned? 3622 And you can do as I would have you?"
3622And you come here and tell it all to me?
3622And you encouraged it?
3622And you think that Silverbridge would do?
3622And you too, I hope?
3622And you will love him after a fashion?
3622And you will marry her?
3622And you wo n''t stand for the county on the Liberal interest?
3622And you would be glad to see me his wife?
3622And you,--what have you an eye for? 3622 And you?
3622And your father-- the Duke?
3622And your sister?
3622Any news to- day, Silverbridge?
3622Anywhere else then?
3622Approve of what?
3622Are there none others? 3622 Are there other debts?"
3622Are we not friends?
3622Are you angry with me?
3622Are you clear about that, my boy?
3622Are you coming?
3622Are you going to church?
3622Are you indeed, Mr. Longstaff? 3622 Are you not engaged to marry Lady Mabel Grex?"
3622Are you not glad you came over?
3622Are you ready?
3622Are you speaking of Silverbridge now?
3622Are you sure of that?
3622Are you very fond of poetry?
3622As for backing, Silverbridge, do not you think that we had better have done with that?
3622Because of his rank?
3622Because of papa? 3622 But I may have your sanction?"
3622But about money? 3622 But are you ready,--for a straightforward walk off to church before all the world?
3622But as I did n''t?
3622But as it has occurred, Mabel, do n''t you think that he had better go?
3622But at last?
3622But do n''t you think that he does look clever?
3622But do you-- like me?
3622But does love go for nothing?
3622But for the town?
3622But he had; had n''t he?
3622But he is a friend of yours? 3622 But how are you?
3622But how can I wash your young mind clean from the foul stain which has already defiled it? 3622 But how much are you on to win?"
3622But if I do n''t love you?
3622But if I had, and then repented of my fault in doing so, should you not have been willing to help me in setting myself right with myself? 3622 But if I were to break down?"
3622But if he did? 3622 But if he has deserved it?"
3622But if he is a Conservative himself, papa?
3622But if he should come again?
3622But if it should never be settled?
3622But if you love Tregear so dearly, why do you not approve of him for your sister?
3622But in saying so I was accusing you of cowardice;--was I not?
3622But of what is there to be ashamed? 3622 But she will not be bullied out of it?"
3622But we can''t,--can we?
3622But what about the young men?
3622But what can I do?
3622But what did he mean by that?
3622But what has that to do with it? 3622 But what right have you to suppose I shall know how to be a Duchess?"
3622But what shall I say?
3622But what should I do to help time? 3622 But what would be the feeling as to the convict''s granddaughter?"
3622But what?
3622But when everything was against me?
3622But which do you think pays best? 3622 But who is the lady?
3622But why her? 3622 But why not that?"
3622But why not?
3622But you are going to dine here?
3622But you do love me? 3622 But you do mean to fall in love with a rich one?"
3622But you feel sure of her?
3622But you heard the speeches?
3622But you will play to- morrow?
3622But you will send for it, wo n''t you, and have it put on his dressing- table to- night?
3622But your father? 3622 But, Mary,--do ladies generally embrace their lovers in public?"
3622Ca n''t one? 3622 Ca n''t you understand?
3622Ca n''t you?
3622Can this be true? 3622 Can you explain to me what benefit you proposed to yourself when you played for such stakes as that?"
3622Can you not guess? 3622 Can you not imagine what such a gentleman may have to say?"
3622Can you not?
3622Can you shoot?
3622Certainly I love your sister,Tregear had said;"do you object?"
3622Come to what? 3622 Could n''t you bear with him till, according to your own theory, he would grow out of his folly?"
3622Could you not put it off to another year?
3622Dear Lord Silverbridge, who ever dreamed of seeing you? 3622 Dear friends?"
3622Dear me; what is it?
3622Did I speak of my love?
3622Did he give you that?
3622Did he mean it?
3622Did he say how much?
3622Did he say what he meant to give her?
3622Did he speak to you?
3622Did he tell you?
3622Did she know all that you have told me?
3622Did she tell you so?
3622Did you ask him yourself for leave?
3622Did you ever hear anything about him?
3622Did you ever see a salt- mine?
3622Did you ever see her off the stage?
3622Did you go to her, Silverbridge, with such a stipulation as that?
3622Did you not say exactly the same about Lady Mabel?
3622Did you tell her?
3622Did you think it odd,she said after a pause,"that I should ask you to come over again?"
3622Do I?
3622Do I?
3622Do You Ever Think What Money Is?
3622Do n''t I tell you I do n''t want to talk about it? 3622 Do n''t You Think--?"
3622Do n''t they call your hounds the Tiftoes?
3622Do n''t they? 3622 Do n''t you call this a very ugly country?"
3622Do n''t you feel it odd that we should meet here?
3622Do n''t you think Lady Mary very beautiful?
3622Do n''t you think that one always has to be sorry for the young ladies? 3622 Do n''t you think--?"
3622Do you approve of it?
3622Do you believe it possible that he should pass any examination? 3622 Do you believe that?"
3622Do you care what every fellow says about you?
3622Do you dislike Lady Cantrip?
3622Do you envy them that?
3622Do you ever dance with bank clerks?
3622Do you know Mr. Tregear, Duke?
3622Do you know anything about this?
3622Do you know anything of her family?
3622Do you know him, Lady Mary?
3622Do you know him?
3622Do you know my friend Tifto?
3622Do you know why he is coming?
3622Do you like him?
3622Do you mean he should give me-- a salary?
3622Do you mean that you love him, Mabel?
3622Do you mean to say that you have never heard of the University boat- races?
3622Do you mean to tell me that you have engaged yourself to that young man without my approval?
3622Do you not ever go?
3622Do you not know me well enough to be sure that I should be loyal to him?
3622Do you not know that he is not fit to be your husband?
3622Do you not know that he wishes it?
3622Do you not know what my wishes are?
3622Do you not like her?
3622Do you not like her?
3622Do you not regret our mountains and our prairies,said the poet;"our great waters and our green savannahs?"
3622Do you not see that it must be so? 3622 Do you not think her the most beautiful creature you ever saw in your life?"
3622Do you now?
3622Do you really mean,she said after they had been together for some minutes,"that you had the courage to ask the Duke for his daughter''s hand?"
3622Do you recognise no duty but what the laws impose upon you? 3622 Do you shoot much?"
3622Do you suppose I should be here with you if I did not, or that you could have remained in the house after what you did just now? 3622 Do you suppose we do n''t interest ourselves about the Derby in New York?
3622Do you suppose, Dolly, that Miss Boncassen does n''t know all that?
3622Do you think I do n''t know that? 3622 Do you think any answer ought to be made, my dear?"
3622Do you think it would be right that I should interfere for one special man, and that a man of special rank?
3622Do you think that I shall do that, Mabel?
3622Do you think that mother will not want to have seen the house that I am to live in?
3622Do you think we ought to yield?
3622Do you think your father would like it? 3622 Do you understand it?"
3622Do you want him to like you?
3622Do you, dear?
3622Do you?
3622Does Lady Mary like that sort of thing?
3622Does anybody wish to get rid of it, as Sindbad did of the Old Man?
3622Does he ever find them?
3622Does he gamble?
3622Does he not know her, my dear?
3622Does it ever occur to you that going on at that rate you may very soon lose all the fortune that will ever come to you? 3622 Does it not all help?
3622Does n''t the Earl stand to win on Prime Minister?
3622Does not that make it promiscuous?
3622Does papa want to be-- alone here?
3622Does she approve of it?
3622Does she complain again now?
3622Does she ride?
3622Does she understand anything?
3622Does that still fret you?
3622Dressing, I should think; but what is the matter?
3622Expect what? 3622 For long?"
3622For what good? 3622 Going to be married, is he?
3622Had I better send for a doctor from England?
3622Had it been planned?
3622Had you never any such idea yourself?
3622Halloa, Dolly, are you here?
3622Halloa, old fellow, what is this I hear about you?
3622Has Gerald been so great at his sacrifices? 3622 Has Silverbridge come home?"
3622Has anybody else been aware of this?
3622Has he been false to you, Mabel?
3622Has he claims on you?
3622Has he got anything of his own?
3622Has he spoken to her?
3622Has he talked to you much about it?
3622Has it been an appearance with me?
3622Has it come to that?
3622Has it gone deep with her, Duke?
3622Has it gone?
3622Has not Silverbridge ever called you by your Christian name?
3622Has she a right to expect that she should be your wife?
3622Has she got money?
3622Has she though?
3622Has there never been reason to think that you intended to offer your hand to Lady Mabel Grex?
3622Hate you, my darling?
3622Have I done anything to interfere with you? 3622 Have I ever been haughty, unless in my own defence?"
3622Have I not been right? 3622 Have I not offered to face all the world with you?"
3622Have I, my dear? 3622 Have I?"
3622Have n''t you, sir?
3622Have you asked her?
3622Have you been here before?
3622Have you been long in England, Miss Boncassen?
3622Have you deceived me? 3622 Have you doubted my love?"
3622Have you ever said that nothing could alter that love?
3622Have you heard of Miss Boncassen?
3622Have you not heard that, sir?
3622Have you quarrelled with Lady Mabel?
3622Have you seen her since,--since you came home from Italy?
3622Have you seen him this morning?
3622Have you seen him, then?
3622Have you seen my sister?
3622Have you spoken to her?
3622Have you written your letters, dear?
3622Have you? 3622 He did not allude to your sister?"
3622He did say that he thought you ought not to be married, if--"If what, sir?
3622He has lost no money by you?
3622He is n''t intended to-- to--? 3622 He spoke well?"
3622He''s not in debt, then?
3622Horses; eh, Tifto?
3622How can I believe as to your unhappiness when you would have said the same about Lady Mabel Grex a few weeks ago?
3622How can I help it after what I saw yesterday?
3622How can I help you?
3622How can I see him here? 3622 How can I tell?
3622How can I venture to answer that? 3622 How can he?"
3622How can one help it? 3622 How can you talk such nonsense, Mabel?"
3622How could he have had the audacity to write at all?
3622How could you be so foolish as to risk it?
3622How could you be so ill- natured?
3622How did Silverbridge mean to get the money?
3622How did he give way at last?
3622How did you think you were to live? 3622 How do you get on with her husband?"
3622How do you mean not now?
3622How do you think she is looking?
3622How is anybody who has got it to know if anybody cares for him?
3622How is he to pay anything? 3622 How is he, Mary?"
3622How is he, Tifto?
3622How is it now between you and her?
3622How many men, sir, do neither?
3622How many of them have you got now?
3622How possibly can it be told to him? 3622 How shall I answer that without a confession which even I am not hardened enough to make?
3622How shall I cure it? 3622 How should he know?"
3622How should he not, such a loss as it was? 3622 How so?"
3622How was it then?
3622How will it be now? 3622 I ask you whether you do not feel that it is altogether impossible?"
3622I can not be yours, Frank; can I?
3622I do like them; only--"Only what?
3622I hope he does n''t live by it?
3622I knew that;--but could I have given him up?
3622I suppose Captain Green was the leader in all that?
3622I suppose Sunflower''ll be the best animal there?
3622I suppose he has spoken to you about me?
3622I suppose it''s all right about Cream Cheese?
3622I suppose you are surprised to see me?
3622I suppose you do agree with Sir Timothy as to his general policy? 3622 I suppose you do n''t like me well enough?"
3622I suppose your family like pretty things?
3622I think we mean him to start, do n''t we, Silverbridge?
3622I thought you were saying yourself--"Saying what? 3622 I wonder whether he can love her as he did me?"
3622I wonder whether that''s true about Coalheaver?
3622I''ll-- what?
3622If I were to give you a ring,he said,"would not you accept it?"
3622If he be all that you say, ought you not to trust your papa? 3622 If it be so; if it seems to me that it must be so,--then how can I be anxious to prolong her sufferings?
3622If it be that they will certainly be married one day--"Who has said that? 3622 If not, why on earth does my governor take you up?
3622If they do send me down, what''s the odds?
3622If you are unhappy, what must I be? 3622 If you choose to put yourself up to live with a fellow like that on equal terms--""One gentleman with another, you mean?"
3622If you come to that, why not you?
3622If you do n''t approve of Glomax, what do you think of a man like Major Tifto?
3622If your own father refused to welcome her, would not others follow suit?
3622Immediately?
3622In Lord Nidderdale''s house?
3622In coming to this side at all?
3622In the Duke''s house?
3622In what way then?
3622Is Lord Popplecourt intimate here?
3622Is Miss Cassewary nobody?
3622Is Silverbridge obstinate?
3622Is a fellow to have no chance?
3622Is all this going on in the country, or is it in town,--or perhaps in the Colonies? 3622 Is anything more necessary?"
3622Is anything wrong?
3622Is he a betting man?
3622Is he extravagant?
3622Is he fond of Lady Mabel, papa?
3622Is he not handsome as a god?
3622Is he so inexorable?
3622Is he,--is he-- just anybody?
3622Is it a secret?
3622Is it about me?
3622Is it like this?
3622Is it much?
3622Is it not your party?
3622Is it so?
3622Is it so?
3622Is it,--is it,--about Lady Mary?
3622Is n''t Lord Silverbridge a cousin of yours?
3622Is n''t it a great grind, sir?
3622Is n''t it all right yet?
3622Is n''t it odd papa wanting to have Lady Mabel?
3622Is n''t it stupid,--half- a- dozen men getting together in that way?
3622Is n''t that a little strange?
3622Is not that a great deal?
3622Is not that a strong order?
3622Is not that better than stalking?
3622Is not that the proper thing?
3622Is she aware of your-- intention?
3622Is she not your senior?
3622Is that all you say?
3622Is that all?
3622Is that an objection? 3622 Is that in accordance with your idea of what should be the conduct of a young lady in your position?"
3622Is that kind, Lord Silverbridge?
3622Is that lady a great friend of yours?
3622Is that larger?
3622Is that true to me?
3622Is that your notion of a political opinion? 3622 Is there any objection?"
3622Is there anything else wrong,--except about Mary?
3622Is there anything you want?
3622Is there not to be another word?
3622Is this one of them?
3622It has been very sad;--has it not? 3622 It is all right with him then,--now?"
3622It is simply self- protection then?
3622It is very kind of you;--but why?
3622It shall be so;--shall it not?
3622It was she then who thought of my wishes and my feeling;--not you?
3622It''s all very well to say''Get rid of him,''but where am I to get anybody better? 3622 It''s like that; is it?"
3622It''s throwing us over a little, is n''t it?
3622Lady Mabel Grex? 3622 Lady Mary used to ride?"
3622Lawn- tennis?
3622Lord Silverbridge, do you remember anything of last night?
3622Lovely spot; is n''t it?
3622Mary is a very peculiar girl,--with great gifts,--but--"But what?
3622Mary? 3622 May I ask a question, Lord Silverbridge?
3622May I come and call?
3622May I go to the train with you, papa?
3622May I speak to your father?
3622May I tell you something about him?
3622May I tell you why I say all this?
3622Miss Cassewary?
3622Must be given up?
3622Must it be done quite at once?
3622Must it?
3622My being here is not enough?
3622My being here is not enough?
3622Nervous headaches?
3622Never?
3622No; you will not fly back again now;--but was I, or was I not, justified when you came to Killancodlem in thinking that my lover had come there?
3622None the worse for yesterday''s troubles, I hope?
3622Nor rich?
3622Nor to disgrace me; nor to make me feel myself disgraced in my own judgment?
3622Nor writing?
3622Not just like what?
3622Not though the new friend be as lovely as Miss Boncassen?
3622Not to Tregear?
3622Not to guard the honour of your sister?
3622Not with the Duke?
3622Nothing of love?
3622Now tell the truth, Lady Mabel; does he not look conceited sometimes?
3622Oh Frank, was it ever sweet to you?
3622Oh papa, how can I, when of all the people in the world I love him the best?
3622Oh yes, I like her;--but what made you think of her, papa?
3622Oh, Gerald; have you heard?
3622Oh, Mrs. Spooner, what are we to do?
3622Oh, Silverbridge, you will wish me joy?
3622Oh, my own one, who can say of himself that it would be so? 3622 On my behalf, papa?"
3622Or Glasslough?
3622Or Lord Cantrip?
3622Or Major Tifto;--what does it signify?
3622Or Tifto?
3622Or a wife?
3622Or if I gave your father a book?
3622Or may n''t I rather go to the other place? 3622 Or me?"
3622Or that if I chose that he should I would let you stop me? 3622 Ought that to be considered?"
3622Papa,she said,"you do not hate me?"
3622Perhaps you have liked her too well for that, eh, Frank?
3622Perhaps you''d like soda and brandy?
3622Pleasant;--pleasant? 3622 Questions to be asked in Parliament?
3622Read it; why do you not read it? 3622 Safe to run?"
3622Shall I go now?
3622Shall I leave her?
3622Shall I leave you now?
3622Shall I not sit with you, papa, whilst you are eating it?
3622Shall I tell you what I said to him?
3622Shall I write and tell papa?
3622Shall I?
3622Shall we go on to the Fall?
3622Shall you do all that he tells you?
3622She went on to say;--you wo n''t tell of me; will you?
3622Should you indeed?
3622So you have come back again?
3622So you have settled your little business, Mary?
3622Something to tell me?
3622Suppose we go to Mr. Walker first?
3622Supposing I was in love with her,--which I am not,--do you suppose it would make me jealous to see her with another man?
3622That is what you call logic;--isn''t it? 3622 That you met Tregear?"
3622That''s all very well,said Silverbridge,"but where should we have been if there had been no Liberals?
3622That''s rather sudden; is n''t it?
3622The American beauty? 3622 The American young lady?"
3622The first time?
3622Then I am to presume that you have changed your mind?
3622Then how can we tell?
3622Then it ought to be,--oughtn''t it? 3622 Then may I not tell you what I think?
3622Then my opinion might go for something with you?
3622Then the maiden should-- in any class of life-- be allowed to take the man-- that just suits her eye?
3622Then there is nothing to be told? 3622 Then what will your absence do?
3622Then what''s the good?
3622Then why could n''t you let the horse alone?
3622Then why did you tell her? 3622 Then why do you ask me if I am devoted to Lady Mabel?
3622Then why do you say he did?
3622Then why the mischief should you growl at me?
3622Then you have accepted him?
3622Then you refuse to do what I ask?
3622Those are two Christian names I suppose, but what do they call you at home?
3622Though you knew the orders which had been given?
3622Too well for what?
3622Ugly, do you call it?
3622Upon my word, sir, I am very sorry to vex you; but what would you have me do? 3622 Was Crummie- Toddie ugly?"
3622Was I not entitled to think that you-- loved me?
3622Was Percival there?
3622Was he ever-- ever in love with any one?
3622Was he good to you?
3622Was it not a great impertinence?
3622Was it not you who decided that we could not wait for each other?
3622Was it odd?
3622Was it you who called and asked all them questions? 3622 Was n''t it so there?
3622Was she a goddess?
3622Was that Marley Bullock?
3622Was that necessary?
3622Was that very bad?
3622We are n''t very agreeable together, are we? 3622 Well, Dolly,"said he,"what''s the matter now?"
3622Well, Lady Mab, and how are you this long time?
3622Well, Silverbridge,said the Duke,"how are matters going on with you?"
3622Well, sir,said Silverbridge to the Duke when they were out together in the park that afternoon,"what do you think about him?"
3622Well, sir; that was hardly my business, was it?
3622Well;--what do you think? 3622 Well?"
3622Well?
3622Were not you shocked?
3622Were the gentlemen you name concerned with Major Tifto?
3622Were you awake at six?
3622What Am I to Say, Sir?
3622What I mean is, do n''t you think all those conventional rules about men and women are absurd?
3622What about the smoking?
3622What about?
3622What am I to do?
3622What am I to say, papa?
3622What am I to say, sir? 3622 What am I to say, sir?"
3622What am I to say? 3622 What am I to say?"
3622What answer ought I to make?
3622What are we to do?
3622What are you driving at?
3622What are your pretensions?
3622What business have you to come in here?
3622What can I do then?
3622What can I say better? 3622 What can I say more?
3622What can Lord Popplecourt have to say to me?
3622What can it be?
3622What can it be?
3622What can you do when a girl walks out of the room and slams the door in your face? 3622 What can you do, Duke?
3622What can you tell me about him, that I should not like to hear?
3622What control have I?
3622What did I say?
3622What did become of you all to- day?
3622What did he say?
3622What did he stand to win on the Derby?
3622What did she say then?
3622What did she tell you?
3622What did you do?
3622What did you expect to find? 3622 What did you say to him?"
3622What did you say?
3622What did you say?
3622What did you think of the American beauty?
3622What difference will it make?
3622What do I know?
3622What do you advise then?
3622What do you call strange?
3622What do you do with all you slay?
3622What do you guess?
3622What do you know about the Duke''s children?
3622What do you mean by that? 3622 What do you mean by-- wanting two?"
3622What do you mean, Lady Mary?
3622What do you mean?
3622What do you mean?
3622What do you mean?
3622What do you say to Dolly Longstaff?
3622What do you say, Chiltern?
3622What do you tell me that for? 3622 What do you think of Madame Scholzdam, Miss Boncassen?"
3622What do you want me to say? 3622 What does it all mean?"
3622What does that matter when the question is one of your daughter''s happiness? 3622 What does that matter?
3622What does''well''mean?
3622What else?
3622What had Silverbridge to do with it?
3622What has he done?
3622What has that to do with it? 3622 What has that to do with it?"
3622What have you done?
3622What is all settled?
3622What is all that?
3622What is all this about Prime Minister? 3622 What is it then?"
3622What is it, papa?
3622What is it, then?
3622What is it? 3622 What is not important?
3622What is that?
3622What is the beautiful city?
3622What is the difference? 3622 What is the good of chaps of that sort if they are not made to pay?"
3622What makes you fancy that?
3622What makes you say that?
3622What makes you so fierce, Miss Boncassen?
3622What makes you so foolish?
3622What makes you think so?
3622What makes you think that?
3622What more do I want to know?
3622What on earth made you tell him crammers like that?
3622What on earth makes you sit there? 3622 What on earth makes you walk about here on a Sunday morning?"
3622What ought I to do then?
3622What ought I to do?
3622What person?
3622What purpose?
3622What shall I ask for?
3622What shall I order?
3622What shall we do for carriages to get us to the inn?
3622What sort of a doctor ought I to have?
3622What sort of a fellow is he?
3622What sort of thing?
3622What temple?
3622What the d---- does this mean?
3622What the deuce are you doing here?
3622What the deuce makes you always in such a hurry?
3622What the mischief is it?
3622What the mischief is up?
3622What the mischief is up?
3622What the---- is the good of that?
3622What thing?
3622What things?
3622What was he talking about?
3622What was that about?
3622What was the text?
3622What will the governor say?
3622What would it matter?
3622What would you do?
3622What would you not be justified in asking? 3622 What would your father say if you wanted to marry someone who had n''t a shilling?"
3622What wrong? 3622 What''s the matter?"
3622What''s the meaning of it all?
3622What''s the use of your going on with all that before me? 3622 What''s up?"
3622What, old Sarcinet?
3622Whatever does he want here?
3622When I heard,said the Duke smiling,"of your being in close conference with Sir Timothy--""I, sir?"
3622When I wrote to say that I was coming why did you not stay at home for me this morning?
3622When do you go, papa?
3622When on earth did you come up?
3622When you say this do you not think of yourself?
3622Where are you going this autumn?
3622Where are you going to dine, sir?
3622Where are you going?
3622Where did your brother pick him up?
3622Where is Isabel?
3622Where is Miss Cassewary?
3622Where is Pook?
3622Where''s Spooner?
3622Where''s the governor?
3622Which at the present moment,asked Miss Boncassen,"is the greater favourite with the public, Madame Scholzdam or Coalheaver?"
3622Which would n''t suit;--would it?
3622Who am I, Duke, that I should answer such a question?
3622Who am I?
3622Who are they?
3622Who can call a man Plantagenet? 3622 Who can tell what may come to pass?"
3622Who can tell with whom he may be in a room? 3622 Who does all the work?"
3622Who does''We''mean?
3622Who else?
3622Who else?
3622Who has known it?
3622Who has not?
3622Who has said anything to the contrary? 3622 Who is Maclean?"
3622Who is Major Tifto?
3622Who is that?
3622Who is the gentleman with her?
3622Who is the girl?
3622Who is there? 3622 Who is to be the judge?
3622Who on earth would have thought that they''d have been so punctual? 3622 Who said I would n''t?
3622Who said he made an ass of himself?
3622Who says I am tired? 3622 Who says so?"
3622Who should it be, then?
3622Who talks of locking anybody up? 3622 Who the---- is she?"
3622Who told you that? 3622 Who were playing?"
3622Who would come? 3622 Who''s here?"
3622Who?
3622Who?--Tregear? 3622 Whom should they elect but a Tregear?"
3622Whom would you like to have here?
3622Why Not Like Romeo If I Feel Like Romeo?
3622Why are you glad?
3622Why are you not dancing, my Lord?
3622Why are you so abstemious?
3622Why ca n''t you hunt here at home, if you must hunt?
3622Why come to me?
3622Why did n''t he tell?
3622Why did n''t you get it?
3622Why did you tell me such an infernal--, I would say lie, only perhaps you might n''t like it?
3622Why did you twit me with changing my love?
3622Why do n''t you stay? 3622 Why do you ask?"
3622Why do you hate her?
3622Why do you not answer me? 3622 Why does he not try to please me?"
3622Why else should you be here? 3622 Why glad?"
3622Why have you not shown me your book?
3622Why is it all over? 3622 Why is it inconvenient?"
3622Why misery?
3622Why not answer?
3622Why not love him?
3622Why not me especially?
3622Why not take it?
3622Why not yet, dear?
3622Why not, Mary? 3622 Why not?
3622Why not? 3622 Why not?
3622Why not?
3622Why not?
3622Why not?
3622Why not?
3622Why not?
3622Why on earth did n''t you take a special for yourself?
3622Why should I ask her, sir? 3622 Why should I be made to say what I think on so delicate a matter?
3622Why should I be troubled with all this?
3622Why should I think anything of her?
3622Why should he be angry with you?
3622Why should he not have come to me at Grex?
3622Why should he rise up against it?
3622Why should he think about her at all?
3622Why should it be the last? 3622 Why should it be?"
3622Why should it vex him at all? 3622 Why should it?
3622Why should n''t Lord Silverbridge have his father to dine with him?
3622Why should n''t he?
3622Why should she not be like others?
3622Why should she not?
3622Why should that bring him up?
3622Why should you hope not?
3622Why should you wish that? 3622 Why should your Grace go back to that?"
3622Why the deuce would n''t you go when I told you?
3622Why then did you not come?
3622Why to Cornwall?
3622Why to her?
3622Why, Lady Mab?
3622Why, papa?
3622Why:--what difference does it make,--to you?
3622Why?
3622Will Silverbridge stand for the county, papa?
3622Will he continue to be fond of her when he has heard this? 3622 Will that tell me?
3622Will the Duke go down in his carriage?
3622Will you allow me a moment?
3622Will you go?
3622Will you have my arm?
3622Will you let me see Mr. Tregear myself, and talk to him about it?
3622Will you tell me, Mary, that you will not see him again?
3622With me, sir?
3622With whom will you live?
3622Would Lord Grex allow Percival to have his friends living here?
3622Would it not be better to buy the other share?
3622Would you do me the great honour to introduce me to his Grace?
3622Would you mind coming up to the temple?
3622Would you mind ringing the bell?
3622Would you not take a ring from a-- real friend?
3622Would you wish her to go there, Duke?
3622Would you wish to see her?
3622Would you, dear? 3622 Would your papa wish it?"
3622Yes, but how? 3622 Yes-- you have n''t heard?"
3622Yes; and she particularly wants to be introduced to you; you wo n''t betray me, will you?
3622You can hunt here?
3622You can not be happy without her?
3622You did n''t make by him?
3622You did?
3622You do n''t go to races?
3622You do n''t mean it?
3622You do n''t mean to say that it is arranged?
3622You do n''t mean to say that you were going to Matching?
3622You do not correspond with him?
3622You do not know? 3622 You do not mean to say that you will tell?"
3622You do not suppose that you will be allowed to see him again?
3622You do not think that she should have gone to papa at once?
3622You got the ring safe?
3622You had heard it before?
3622You have got gentlemen?
3622You have heard of her mother''s fortune?
3622You have just come up from Matching?
3622You have n''t seen the Duke since?
3622You have never shot much?
3622You have never thought of any one?
3622You have not spoken to her about it?
3622You have seen Lord Silverbridge then?
3622You know Lady Mabel Grex?
3622You know that Frank came to see me at Grex?
3622You know that fellow Tregear, do n''t you?
3622You know that your awful governor wo n''t let him stay any longer in Carlton Terrace?
3622You like Mabel, do you not? 3622 You mean Frank Tregear?"
3622You mean Prime Minister?
3622You mean to call yourself a swell?
3622You mean to say you do n''t know?
3622You mean to stand for Silverbridge?
3622You never were at the Beargarden;--were you, sir?
3622You remember what you said to me down at Matching?
3622You saw Mary, did you?
3622You think there will be a row?
3622You will dance with me?
3622You will let me have one kiss?
3622You will not be long gone, I suppose?
3622You will not see him?
3622You will not tell any one that I love you?
3622You will suffer less if I am with you; wo n''t you, papa? 3622 You wo n''t be at Custins?"
3622You would n''t have me tell a lie?
3622You would n''t mind taking the team down and back yourself; would you, Dolly?
3622You would not have her-- break her heart?
3622You would not like me for a sister?
3622You would not offer it now?
3622You would not wish me so to guard you that you should have no power of sending a letter but by permission?
3622You would not wish to see her overwhelmed by sorrow?
3622You''ll cross the ford, Fowler?
3622You''ll hunt to- morrow, I suppose?
3622You''ll take a turn; wo n''t you?
3622You''re not going to murder me now you''ve got me up here alone?
3622You''ve been long enough to hear that?
3622Your father, I believe?
3622''May I see Lady Mary?''
3622''Till what?''
3622A big hotel, and a lot of cockneys?
3622A greatcoat can not be endured, and without a greatcoat who can endure a May wind and live?
3622A wife would be a good thing for him; and where could he possibly find a better wife than Mabel Grex?
3622After all, what does it matter to you?"
3622After all, what was she but a"pert poppet"?
3622After all, would it not be best that he should trust Lady Cantrip?
3622After that, do you think that your sister wishes me to give her up?"
3622Am I so hard, do you think that I can love no one?
3622Am I to return his courtesy by bringing a great trouble upon him?"
3622An England without a Duke of Omnium,--or at any rate without any Duke,--what would it be?
3622And am I not trustworthy?"
3622And because I did not at once tell you all the truth, because I did not there say that my heart was all yours, were you right to leave me?"
3622And can you say you did not know; you, you, you yourself?
3622And do n''t I know that you trust me in all things?
3622And had he not declared to himself over and over again that between such a one and himself there should be no intercourse, no common feeling?
3622And had he remained always unmarried, devoted simply to politics, would not the troubles of the world have been lighter on him?
3622And how could he have the courage to face her in his father''s house if he intended to treat her in such a fashion?
3622And how is she to do better?"
3622And how should he treat this matter in his coming interview with his son;--or should he make an allusion to it?
3622And how would it be possible to ask Lady Mabel to come to Matching to meet Miss Boncassen in the presence of Silverbridge?
3622And if he did, might she be there to hear him?
3622And if it had been a little crooked, why would it have been less enjoyable?
3622And if men, why should not women?
3622And if not between all, who was to maintain the limits but they to whom authority in such matters is given?
3622And if she suspected that object, should she not at any rate have given him the opportunity?
3622And if so, would it not be his duty to take his girl away from Lady Cantrip?
3622And if the fight were over, why should he rob his boy of one sparkle from off the joy of his triumph?
3622And if they had changed, what did it matter?
3622And in her case had not the opposition which had been made to her wishes been most fortunate?
3622And in what way had he been selected?
3622And is he not good- tempered, and loving; and has he not that perfection of manly dash without which I do not think I could give my heart to any man?"
3622And now shall I tell you what I expect?
3622And now what have you been doing?"
3622And now what have you got to say?"
3622And now what was he to do?
3622And now, Lord Silverbridge, do you mean to say that there is not something in the wind about Lady Mary?"
3622And so it is to be Mabel Grex?"
3622And the Major?"
3622And then do girls generally defend their brothers''friends as she had defended Tregear?
3622And then would it not be so much better for him that he should marry her, one of his own class, than this American girl, of whom nobody knew anything?
3622And was it not his duty to fortify and maintain that higher, smaller, more precious pinnacle of rank on which Fortune had placed him and his children?
3622And was not the President of the United States as good as the Queen of England?
3622And was she really so exact a judge of pace as she pretended to be?
3622And was she, Mabel Grex, the girl to stand in his way and to force herself upon him, if he loved another?
3622And were there not feminine wiles,--tricks by which women learn to have their way in opposition to the judgment of their lords and masters?
3622And what business have you to interfere?"
3622And what could she lose?
3622And what good could she have done by one such interruption?
3622And what was the use of voting?
3622And what would he say when he did know them?
3622And when are we to meet again?"
3622And where was he to seek for that sympathy which he felt to be so necessary to him?
3622And why did you offer?"
3622And why should n''t they?
3622And why should such a man have been flattered by a woman who was in all respects his superior?
3622And yet how could she do that?
3622And yet how would it be with her father?
3622And yet if she were to be silent how could she forgive herself?
3622And you;--what have you been doing?"
3622And, after all, how high was the garret window?"
3622And, if so, who could be so nice as Lady Mabel?
3622Are friends so plentiful with you that one so staunch as I may be thrown over?
3622Are not you one of us?
3622Are there not always trumpets when a marriage is contemplated, magnificent enough to be called an alliance?
3622Are you a Dobbite?"
3622Are you not such a one that a girl would naturally love,--were she not preoccupied?
3622Are you not true enough to your friendship to exert yourself for him?"
3622Are you sure of yourself?"
3622Are you to be this or that in accordance with your own liking or disliking for some particular man?
3622Are you unwilling to see the Duke?"
3622Are you, Lord Silverbridge?"
3622As for love, do n''t you see he is over head and ears in love with Miss Boncassen?"
3622As his friend, would it not be right that she should tell him what the world would say?
3622As it was, might it not be possible that the young man should be induced to make himself agreeable to the young lady without any further explanation?
3622As to conviction, had he ever known an instance of a man who had been convinced by an adversary?
3622Because he had yielded to such fascination, was she to desert him, and also to desert herself?
3622Before the month was up she wrote to him as follows: DEAR LORD SILVERBRIDGE, Why do you not come and see me?
3622Boncassen?"
3622But I venture to ask whether you can dare to keep us apart if her happiness depends on her love for me?
3622But I would not wish you to remember what I said just now, if-- if--""If what, Mrs. Finn?
3622But are you sure,--I am not,--that I am such stuff as an English lady should be made of?
3622But being what he was, having been born to such privileges and such limitations, was he not bound in duty to maintain a certain exclusiveness?
3622But could she love him?
3622But how am I to look upon this that she has done?"
3622But how can I say that I like her?"
3622But how could he joke with a woman with whom he had quarrelled after this internecine fashion?
3622But how could he serve to support and strengthen that nobility, the endurance and perpetuation of which should be the peculiar care of every Palliser?
3622But how should she serve Tregear without risk of offending the Duke?
3622But how to make an effort,--and to whom should he speak?
3622But how was it to be done?
3622But how would his father look at him?
3622But how would it be with him?
3622But if it be altogether so, what of that?
3622But if it be true that she is as devoted to me as I am to her, can I be wrong in pleading my cause?
3622But if it was manifestly his duty to act after this fashion, must he not do his duty?
3622But if so, had not that opinion been given to him very plainly when he was told that he was both proud and diffident?
3622But if--""If what?"
3622But in whose hands?
3622But is it not cruel?
3622But is it not joyful that it should all be settled?
3622But is it not very impudent in me to be finding fault with you the first time I have ever seen you?
3622But it had succeeded in one case, and why should it not succeed in another?
3622But may not the door be occasionally opened to an outsider, so that the exterior force be diminished?
3622But might it not be possible that Sir Timothy should get on without Lord Drummond?
3622But now what do you think I''ve done?
3622But seeing how it was, had she any further ground for hope?
3622But then how should the matter be spoken of to the young man?
3622But then what right have I to expect it?
3622But then, where should he place her?
3622But was it not clear that he was absolutely in love with this other girl?
3622But were there not other considerations?
3622But what does all this mean?"
3622But what does it amount to?
3622But what good things were in store for her?
3622But what had that to do with it?
3622But what has that to do with hammering a nail into a horse''s foot?
3622But what if he were not so satisfied?
3622But what if it were not tomfoolery at all?
3622But what if this Tregear and the dream were one and the same?
3622But what must she think of him if it were so?
3622But what of that?
3622But what shall I do?
3622But what should I be?"
3622But what the deuce is a fellow to do?
3622But what then?
3622But what will my life be here, if they who are your friends turn their backs upon me?
3622But what would she think of him?
3622But when a girl is possessed of so many things,--rank, beauty, intelligence, large fortune,--""Will Lady Mary have much?"
3622But when you spoke so like a Romeo of your love--""Why not like a Romeo, if I feel like a Romeo?"
3622But where is there another who will treat him so well?"
3622But who does not know how hard it is for a man in such matters to keep his word to himself?
3622But who has ever seen a nose to be eloquent and expressive, which did not so spread?
3622But who should be the happy man?
3622But who was to go with him?
3622But why are you asking about him, Lady Cantrip?"
3622But why do I say that?
3622But why had he sent her the ring?
3622But why should he not admire her?"
3622But why should he think that she would die?
3622But why should we contest this?
3622But why?"
3622But will you teach me right?
3622But would it become him to be deterred from doing right because she for a time might find that she had made the world bitter to herself?
3622But yet, had he a right to set his heart there, where he could make his fortune,--having none of his own?"
3622But you will be good enough,--won''t you, to see that there is nothing else in it?"
3622But, Mrs. Jones, will you do me a favour?"
3622But--""But what?"
3622CHAPTER LXI"Bone of My Bone""How is it now between you and her?"

3622CHAPTER XXXV"Do n''t You Think--?"
3622Ca n''t you forgive as much as that to me?"
3622Can I not interest myself in human beings without wishing to make them flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone?
3622Can I receive a message for her, my lord?"
3622Can any girl suppose that such words as these are to mean nothing when they have been spoken?
3622Can you enlighten me?"
3622Can you help me?
3622Can you put yourself in my place?
3622Can you say that you will love me in return?"
3622Come home, do you say?
3622Could Mr. and Mrs. Finn come to Matching on the 20th of November?
3622Could it be possible that the Duke had heard anything;--that he should wish to receive her?
3622Could it be possible?
3622Could it be that Lady Mary had fallen violently in love with him?
3622Could it be that Miss Boncassen had been mistaken?
3622Could it be that she knew that he had offered to make her his wife?
3622Could it be that she thought it possible a second attempt might be successful?
3622Could it be well that the heir of the house of Omnium should marry an American girl, as to whose humble birth whispers were already afloat?
3622Could she be so irrational, so unjust, as to be sick for his love, as to be angry with him because he seemed to prefer another?
3622Could the Chancellor of the Exchequer say a word on the matter?
3622Could you do that?"
3622Could you manage it with Mr. Moreton?
3622Did girls break their hearts in such emergencies?
3622Did he not know of himself that there was no father who would do more for the welfare of his daughter?
3622Did he not wrong me?"
3622Did it never occur to you that you owed something to me?"
3622Did n''t I leave a card?
3622Did not the people of Polpenno think that it might be as well to send Mr. Carbottle back to the place from whence he had come?
3622Did she not feel that it would be better for him that he should become a man before he married at all?
3622Did the Duke when inviting her know anything of his son''s inclinations?
3622Did you ever get anything better than that spotted chestnut in your life?"
3622Did you ever hear of a gentleman who had always to roll a stone to the top of a hill, but it would always come back upon him?"
3622Did you ever swear that you loved any one else?"
3622Did you give me warrant for thinking that you were my lover?"
3622Did you hear it all?"
3622Did you know of this?"
3622Did you know that?"
3622Did you not even tell your father that I should be your wife?
3622Did you persuade him to come to these races?"
3622Do n''t he put his money on his''orses?"
3622Do n''t you feel that?"
3622Do n''t you like the Duke?"
3622Do n''t you think it is going to rain?"
3622Do n''t you think she''d make a good wife for you?"
3622Do n''t you think the Duke will come round a little now?"
3622Do n''t you think this place very much nicer than London at this time of the year?"
3622Do not men think of high titles and great wealth and power and place?
3622Do not men try to get them;--and are they not even applauded for their energy?
3622Do persons marry because they mean it?
3622Do they know that you love me?
3622Do you care for scenery, Mabel?"
3622Do you ever think what money is?"
3622Do you know Reginald Dobbes?"
3622Do you love me?
3622Do you mean to be another Pitt?"
3622Do you mean to say that it would make no difference whether you were here with me or with Miss Cass?"
3622Do you mean to say that you would be this or that in politics according to your personal liking for an individual?"
3622Do you not know that I would tell you every secret of my heart,--if my heart had a secret?
3622Do you not know that everyone was looking at you last night?"
3622Do you not know that he wishes it?"
3622Do you not know that you have made me the wretch I am?
3622Do you object to her knowing it?"
3622Do you often come?"
3622Do you remember how Miss Cassewary looked?"
3622Do you remember that?"
3622Do you remember what you were saying when you walked down to the House with me from your club that night?"
3622Do you remember when I nearly cut over old Sir Simon Slobody?
3622Do you remember when she flew into your arms in this room?"
3622Do you remember, my Lord,"--and now the Major sank his voice to a whisper,--"when I come up to your bedroom that morning?"
3622Do you suppose that I want to have visits paid to me of which I am afraid to speak?
3622Do you suppose that a man wants no rest after inspecting all the pots and pans in that establishment?
3622Do you think I can hear you speak of her as though she were the only woman you had ever seen without feeling it?
3622Do you think I do n''t care a straw about it?"
3622Do you think I like none but those with whom I should think it fitting to ally myself in marriage?
3622Do you think I should have done it if you all had not been there?"
3622Do you think I would keep a Briton from his duties?"
3622Do you think I would not sleep in the stables, and give you up my own bed if there were no other?
3622Do you think ill of me because I say this?"
3622Do you think that Frank is going to make love to me again?"
3622Do you think that I should have brought you all the way up here to tell you that I was in love with anybody else?"
3622Do you think that a man can be thwarted in everything and not feel it?"
3622Do you think that if I liked you well last night I do n''t like you better now?"
3622Do you think that love is a passion that can not be withstood?"
3622Do you think that that is the common fortune of young gamblers when they fall among those who are more experienced than themselves?"
3622Do you think we care nothing about it here?"
3622Do you understand me?"
3622Do you want to see me begging my bread about the streets?
3622Do you write to him?"
3622Do you, Lord Silverbridge?"
3622Dobbes?"
3622Does n''t it look like it, Miss Cassewary?"
3622Does she know of this?
3622Does your father know it, and your sister?
3622Even if she suspected nothing of his object, did she not owe it to their friendship to be more courteous to him than she had been?
3622Even though she were to accept him, what would that be worth to him if she did not love him?
3622Finn?"
3622Finn?"
3622Finn?"
3622Finn?"
3622Finn?"
3622Finn?"
3622Finn?"
3622Finn?"
3622Frank, is it wicked that I should love you?"
3622Go and get her if you can;--but why tell me about it?"
3622Had he done so, what would have become of the name of a Roman citizen?
3622Had he not better avoid the error of putting too fine a point upon it, and tell himself at once that a dream in this instance meant a-- lover?
3622Had he not given her the ring which she well knew he valued?
3622Had he not known from the first that the woman was an adventuress?
3622Had he not told her in London that he loved her?
3622Had it been so with his wife?
3622Had not Silverbridge plainly shown that he understood what was expected from him when he selected Lady Mabel?
3622Had she been allowed to have her own way when she was a child, what would have been her fate?
3622Had she not almost expressed an opinion that they ought to be allowed to marry?
3622Had we benefited only those who love us, would not the sinners also,--or even the Tories,--have done as much as that?
3622Has any other one of my family known of this?"
3622Has she refused you?"
3622Has there been reason for such expectations?"
3622Have I said a word even to that young lad, when I might have said a word?
3622Have I?"
3622Have you a right to treat me like that;--when I tell you that you have all my heart?"
3622Have you and the Duke been good friends?"
3622Have you deceived me?"
3622Have you met Miss Boncassen yet?"
3622Have you not a strength which I can not have?
3622Have you not always found it so?"
3622Have you the same freedom?"
3622He had been alive to the value of underhand information from racing- stables, but who wo n''t use a tip if he can get it?
3622He might now and again have told a lie about a horse-- but who that deals in horses has not done that?
3622He paused for a moment and then asked a straightforward question, very quickly--"You have never thought of any one yet, I suppose?"
3622He was in Parliament now, and what may not be done for a young man in Parliament?
3622He''s going to be about the richest man in England;--and what the deuce better are you for it?"
3622His Royal Highness Lord Silverbridge--""What do you mean, Mabel?"
3622How am I to tell you?"
3622How came it to pass that you of all men should submit yourself to such a tyrant?"
3622How can I after all that has passed?
3622How can I answer about you when I do n''t quite know whether I have done anything wrong or not myself?
3622How can I answer for her?
3622How can I take it quietly when he is more than all the world to me?"
3622How can a fellow help it?
3622How can a wood like that be all right without a man about the place who knows anything of the nature of a fox?
3622How can you torture me by such a threat?"
3622How could I laugh when you were all the world to me?
3622How could I love him after what has passed?
3622How could a man be more unfit?
3622How could he expect her to be true to him unless he took some means of showing himself to be true to her?
3622How could he have spoken plainer?
3622How could he have told that story to the Duke, while there was that other infinitely more important story of his own, which must be told at once?
3622How could her love serve her,--how could her very life serve her, if things were to go on like that?
3622How could it be an accident?
3622How could it be otherwise?
3622How could it be so, when you would have all the world against you?
3622How could she swear to her fox?
3622How did he look?
3622How did you dare to talk to me as you did talk when you were in London?
3622How did you look?"
3622How do you do, Lord Silverbridge?"
3622How does it stand between you two at the present moment?"
3622How had it been commenced in his own case?
3622How long was it, Frank, after you had left me before you were basking happily in the smiles of Lady Mary Palliser?"
3622How long would it be before Silverbridge would write an article, or Gerald sign his name in the service of the public?
3622How often can it happen to a man in his life that he shall own a favourite for the Derby?
3622How old are you?"
3622How old was she?
3622How should he express himself to her?
3622How should it be commenced?
3622How should you?
3622How was I to make myself pleasant when I found myself so completely snuffed out by your American beauty?
3622How was he to be in two places at once?
3622How was he to bring her out into the world?
3622How was he to decide whom she should or whom she should not marry?
3622How was he to get over the remembrance of such an offence?
3622How was he to guide her through the shoals and rocks which lay in the path of such a girl before she can achieve matrimony?
3622How was he to know whether she would be true to him?
3622How was it possible that in such circumstances she should assume the part of the girl''s confidential friend and monitress?
3622How was it that she was so old a woman, while he was so little more than a child?
3622How was it that the Duke came round at last?"
3622How was it to be done?
3622How was she to bear it?
3622How was this transfer of her love to be effected?
3622How will that suit with Plato?
3622How would it be between him and his father now?
3622How would it be if he put off the telling of his story for yet another week, till she should be gone?
3622How would it be if he should consent to go back to the Liberal party on being allowed to marry the girl he loved?
3622How would you like to be shut up at a place like The Horns?"
3622I am so sorry that I have got you into this trouble; but what can I do?
3622I believe, sir, that you have no means?"
3622I do not wish to hate her, but how can I help it?
3622I have done it; but never before the world like that; have I, Frank?
3622I have given up everything,--and what good have I done?"
3622I hope you think that Silverbridge is looking well?"
3622I suppose we shall all meet at dinner?"
3622I suppose you''ll go down, my Lord?"
3622I wonder what has become of that poor devil?"
3622If I had money, do you think I would n''t like to give it to the man I loved?"
3622If I want to be Duchess of Omnium, why should n''t she?"
3622If a man''s house be on fire, do you think of certain rules of etiquette before you bid him send for the engines?
3622If a wild beast be loose, do you go through some ceremony before you caution the wanderers abroad?
3622If he had made money by losing the race,--where was it and whence had it come?
3622If he should confirm himself in his opinion that he had been right, then would any answer be necessary?
3622If he was to be told, how would it be if he could not approve?
3622If he were to find that by persevering in this course he would doom her to death, or perchance to madness,--what then?
3622If in ten years''time you found that others did not think so,--that, worse again, you did not think so yourself, would you be true to me then?"
3622If not, would he mind my bringing someone?
3622If on that side the marriage were approved, why should she destroy her own hopes?
3622If she be as firm as you, can you bear to see her pine away in her misery?"
3622If she did not put out her bait would there not be other hooks,--others and worse?
3622If so, had he not received plenty of evidence that the dream had not yet passed away?
3622If so, what''s the harm?
3622If that''orse had a nail run into his foot,--and I do n''t say he hadn''t,--who was the man most injured?
3622If the choice could be put to him plainly by some supernal power, what then would he choose?
3622If there had been a girl whom you loved and who loved you, would you not have wished it?
3622If there had been no other man, why not you?
3622If there were anything to tell me, you would let me know;--would you not?"
3622In all of that, if I have told the story truly, where has been my offence?
3622In all that he was doing was he governed by anything but a sense of duty?
3622In the first place was it not clear that she, Lady Mary, ought not to be a party to asking Miss Boncassen to meet her brother at Matching?
3622In this way he won the Duchess''s heart, and having done that, was it odd that he should win the heart of the daughter also?
3622In thus performing your duty to your order would you feel satisfied that you had performed that to your child?"
3622Is he not all the world to me?"
3622Is he not such a man as a girl would love?"
3622Is he not true?"
3622Is he pretty?"
3622Is it a sell?
3622Is it a sign of strength to wail under a sorrow that can not be cured,--or of truth to perpetuate the appearance of a woe?"
3622Is it coming to that,--that when the House sits you will never be absent?"
3622Is it not best to put an end to such a thing at once?"
3622Is it not evident to you that she is made of such stuff that she will not be controlled in her choice,--even by your will?
3622Is it not so?
3622Is n''t it pleasant?"
3622Is n''t it true?
3622Is not Lady Mabel Grex in the ascendant just now?"
3622Is not that enough?"
3622Is she fair?
3622Is she here?"
3622Is she heroine- like in her form and gait?
3622Is she vulgar, or ill to look at, or stupid?"
3622Is she-- firm?"
3622Is there any chance of his coming to town?"
3622Is there any gentleman here who would like to bet me fifteen to one in hundreds against the two events,--the Derby and the Leger?"
3622Is there anything I can do for you?"
3622Is there to be no duty in such matters, no restraint, no feeling of what is due to your own name, and to others who bear it?
3622It is all very well for you and me to be pals, but of course it will be expected that Mary should marry some--""Some swell?"
3622It is now, and here, that I should drive out the fiend, as I have sworn to myself that I would do,"--and yet has failed?
3622It might be well for her to become his wife, but could it be well for him that he should become her husband?
3622It often does rain, but why on this special day should it come down out of buckets?"
3622It was not very long,--as months go; but why should it have been less long, whether for months or days?
3622Longstaff?"
3622Look here, Major Tifto; you have come here to confess that you have done me a great injury?"
3622Lord Grex is there, I suppose?"
3622Love him?
3622May I call you Mary?"
3622May I come to you to- morrow?"
3622May I guess?"
3622Might it not come to pass that he should some day become the great authority in England upon races, racehorses, and hunters?
3622Might she not have been alive now, and perhaps happier than she had ever been with him?
3622Morton?"
3622No marriage there is possible; but perhaps the young lady might suit you?"
3622Notices of motions, Amendments in Committee, and that kind of thing?"
3622Now shall we not say, Good- bye?"
3622Now, if you were on your oath, what is she worth?"
3622Of all whom you know, who could best tell me the truth on such a subject?
3622Of course I ask for nothing from you on my own behalf,--but on her behalf may I not add my prayers to hers?
3622Of course it is all paint,--but how would the poor girl look before the gaslights if there were no paint?
3622Of course there would be great plunder, and where would the plunder go?
3622Of course you are surprised to see me?"
3622Of course you mean to marry?"
3622Of course you will invite that Miss Cassewary too?"
3622Of what avail to you is it to have filled granaries with corn if you can not get your corn to the consumer?
3622Of what service could betting be to him whom Providence had provided with all things wanted to make life pleasant?
3622Of what sort was the eldest son of the man of whom the neighbourhood had been so proud?
3622Of what use had been all his"square"work to him?
3622Oh Gerald, where to?
3622Oh Mary, can it be true?"
3622Only as it has gone so far, and as English people are too stupid, you know, to understand all these new ways,--don''t you think perhaps--?"
3622Or Moore''s Melodies?
3622Or could anything be more handsome, more attractive to a girl, more good- humoured, or better bred in his playful emulation than Silverbridge?
3622Or could it be that she was really jealous of the American girl?
3622Or of what use would be my thoughts?
3622Or was it possible that she had not understood his meaning?
3622Ought I not to tell you to go away?"
3622Papa, you do not want me to marry Lord Popplecourt?"
3622Perhaps so;--but then if she desisted would others desist?
3622Perhaps your Grace has heard all that?"
3622Salmon, is it?
3622Shall I go to heaven for doing that?"
3622Shall I tell you what I thought?"
3622Shall I tell you what I told him?
3622Shall you attack us very bitterly?"
3622Shall you have a horse at Ascot?"
3622She wants to see me--""Well?"
3622Should he abandon racing altogether, sell his share of Prime Minister and Coalition, and go in hard and strong for committees, debates, and divisions?
3622Should he get rid of his drag, and resolve to read up parliamentary literature?
3622Should you be disposed to eat and drink in bestial excess, because the laws would not hinder you?
3622Should you like to think of a sister as being engaged to a man without the knowledge of any of her family?"
3622Silverbridge, what did you say to me when you came to me that morning in the Square?"
3622Sir, do you not feel what you owe me?
3622So you bearded the Duke in his den, and asked him for Lady Mary''s hand,--just as though you had been a young Duke yourself and owned half a county?"
3622Spooner?"
3622Sprottle?"
3622Still, you see, as the thing is,--how am I to help myself?"
3622The sweet bloom of her maiden shame?
3622Then her last word had been almost the worst of all,"Who can tell what may come to pass?"
3622Then she added, in a lower voice:"Why does n''t papa speak to me about it?"
3622Then why urge him on to tasks for which he was by nature unfitted?
3622There could be no cruelty without dishonesty, and did he not always struggle to be honest?
3622They''ve pretty good claret, here, eh, Silverbridge?"
3622Though he might write the most appropriate letter in the world, would there not certainly be a reply?
3622Tregear?"
3622Tregear?"
3622Tregear?"
3622Tregear?"
3622Tregear?"
3622Tregear?"
3622Tregear?"
3622Tregear?"
3622Tregear?"
3622Was I not good?"
3622Was I not right?"
3622Was ever anything prettier than the girl in her country dress, active as a fawn and as graceful?
3622Was ever anything so base?
3622Was he not sure of the tenderness of his own heart?
3622Was he to send his girl into the world in order that she might find a lover?
3622Was he with you yesterday, sir?"
3622Was his girl to be exposed to this?
3622Was it beyond her powers?
3622Was it fitting that she should be cross with him, seeing that he was resolved to throw at her feet all the good things that he had in the world?
3622Was it for such cockney purposes as those that Scotland had been created, fit mother for grouse and deer?
3622Was it his fault that he was so thin- skinned that all things hurt him?
3622Was it likely I should lame him?
3622Was it not all romance?
3622Was it not clear that a conspiracy might have been made without his knowledge;--and clear also that the real conspirators had levanted?
3622Was it not more than probable that if this matter were referred to him he would refuse to give a verdict against his late partner?
3622Was it not often the case that duty required that someone should die?
3622Was it not one and the same thing?
3622Was it not palpable to all the world that he was unfit?
3622Was it not so?
3622Was it personal pride or love of personal aggrandisement?
3622Was it to be endured that the Runnymede farmers should ride to hounds under a Master who had been guilty of such an iniquity as that?
3622Was it to win the money which these men had in their pockets?"
3622Was n''t you rough?"
3622Was not the matter which had been so far discussed of vital importance for both of them?
3622Was she not afraid of the snow?
3622Was she not well aware that she herself did not love him;--but that she did love another man?
3622Was she tall?
3622Was the Duke very angry about your not standing for the county?"
3622Was there not an idea that Mr. Boncassen would be the next President?
3622Was this thing beyond her reach?
3622Well, Gerald, how are they all at Lazarus?"
3622Well, Silverbridge, how''s the Prime Minister?"
3622Well;--of course he must marry someone, and why not Lady Mab as well as any one else?
3622Were he now to abandon his scheme, would it not be tantamount to abandoning everything?
3622What am I to do?
3622What am I to do?
3622What am I to do?
3622What am I to think of you?
3622What an ass must he have been to risk such a sum on the well- being and safety of an animal who might any day pick up a nail in his foot?
3622What are you thinking of doing now?"
3622What can I do for you?"
3622What can a girl do?"
3622What can a man gain by going on when a girl has spoken as I have done?"
3622What can be more interesting to a girl than this first visit to her future home?
3622What chance of success was there for her?
3622What comfort would there be in his companionship?
3622What could I say?
3622What could be so mean as that a man should seek to live by looking out for a wife with money?
3622What could be so nice as a marriage between the heir of the house of Omnium and Lady Mabel Grex?
3622What could he do to make a girl happy?
3622What did I say to you when we first began to know each other?"
3622What did he do?
3622What did he say, sir?"
3622What did he say?
3622What did it matter to me?"
3622What did you do?
3622What did you mean?
3622What did you say?
3622What do you say, Bell?"
3622What do you think I did?"
3622What do you think I have been doing?"
3622What does Isabel say?"
3622What does Mr. Simcox say?"
3622What does he do with his man?"
3622What does he mean?"
3622What does she think about it now?
3622What does your father say about it?"
3622What further inch of ground was there for a fight?
3622What good can I do here?
3622What good does that do?
3622What good would the money have done him had he won it?
3622What had he better do to give his father some comfort?
3622What harm can come?
3622What has he ever said about me?"
3622What has that to do with it?
3622What have I to look forward to?
3622What have you done with your American beauty?
3622What high point would ever be reached if caution such as that were allowed to prevail?
3622What if he felt that any labours of his would be vain, and all self- abnegation useless?
3622What if he were to abdicate the title and become a republican?
3622What if he were to consult Lady Cantrip?
3622What if it were good, genuine, earnest love- making?
3622What is Frank doing?"
3622What is a fellow to get by playing high,--a fellow like you and me?
3622What is a man to do when he feels like that?
3622What is it all for but for you and your brother and sister?
3622What is it probable that such a girl as I would say when such a man as your brother asks her to be his wife?
3622What is the engagement which Silverbridge has made with Lord Percival?"
3622What is the good of approving of a thing that is impossible?"
3622What is the meaning of good?
3622What is the use of life without something to make it sweet?
3622What is there in those fellows down there to make a fellow feel that he ought to bind himself to them neck and heels?"
3622What is to be done?
3622What made them pick you out from the lot of us?"
3622What might not be open to him?
3622What more can I say?
3622What more could he have than he now enjoyed?
3622What other course would you recommend me to take?
3622What other young man was there who could offer so much, and who was at the same time so likely to be loved for his own sake?
3622What ought she to do-- at once?
3622What place could be better for putting the question he had to ask?
3622What power had he over Silverbridge,--or for the matter of that, even over his daughter?
3622What right had a gentleman to talk of marriage who had no means?
3622What right had she even to think of inconstancy?
3622What right had the Duke to expect that any ordinary friend should act duenna over his daughter in accordance with his caprices?
3622What right have you to speak in that way?"
3622What she?"
3622What should he now do in this matter?
3622What was I to do?
3622What was he to believe about that dream?
3622What was it doing for her?
3622What was there that his father would not forgive?
3622What were you doing at The Horns?"
3622What will Lord Popplecourt say if I tell him that?
3622What will your father say?
3622What will your life be, if, through all that, you continue to love me?"
3622What would love be worth if it could be forgotten in that way?"
3622What would papa say if he heard that I was going to give a lecture at an Institute?"
3622What would she be in ten years, she who already seemed to know the town and all its belongings so well?
3622What would the Duke say to her, or Mary, or even Gerald?
3622What would you think of me if I said No?"
3622What young men have done before can not you do?
3622What''s the good of young chaps of that sort if they are n''t made to pay?
3622When I found that you were in earnest at Killancodlem--""Why did you ever doubt me?"
3622When have I been fickle?
3622When is it to be?"
3622When men combine to do much, how should there not be disagreement?
3622When men combine to do nothing, how should there be disagreement?
3622When shall I see you again?
3622When some coarse man said to him that which ought not to have been said, was it his fault that at every word a penknife had stabbed him?
3622Where is the individual who does not assert to himself that he would be more loyal to a falling than to a rising friend?
3622Where is the young man who can not do so;--how few are there who do not do so when their first fit of passion has come on them at one- and- twenty?
3622Where on earth has she gone to?"
3622Where shall I go?"
3622Where was he to live?
3622Where was there a girl more likely to make her way to the top?"
3622Where will you find any young man equal to Frank Tregear?"
3622Where would she like to live?"
3622Which do you like best, Tennyson or Shakespeare?"
3622Which nature must he now regard as the higher?
3622Which of the kings did you branch off from?"
3622Whither will such progress without reflection take you?"
3622Who can explain his feelings in such a matter?
3622Who does not feel that?
3622Who does not know it?
3622Who does not know it?
3622Who does not know that look of ubiquitous ivory produced by teeth which are too perfect in a face which is otherwise poor?
3622Who had sent for him?
3622Who has admitted that?"
3622Who is Miss Boncassen that we are all to be put on one side for her?"
3622Who is the fortunate woman?"
3622Who is there that I could possibly ask?
3622Who owns the horse now?"
3622Who should be the happy man?
3622Who should do it?
3622Who was Mr. Carbottle?
3622Who was she that she should exact terms from him after this fashion, and prescribe days and hours?
3622Who will go with you?"
3622Who would get the money which poor Silverbridge would lose?
3622Whom do you mean?"
3622Whom does it hurt?
3622Whom else has he got?"
3622Whom should he select to play the part which he had undertaken in that other arrangement?
3622Why Mr. Carbottle rather than anybody else?
3622Why are you a recreant?"
3622Why are you not Thomas or Abraham?
3622Why ask any man for an opinion, and tell him at the same time that his opinion might probably not be taken?
3622Why did he do it?
3622Why did he let him come?
3622Why did they ask me to come here?"
3622Why did you bring him?
3622Why did you do it?"
3622Why did you mention Lady Mabel''s name?
3622Why did you not come before?"
3622Why did you sit down to play?
3622Why did you want to extract their property from their pockets, and to put it into your own?
3622Why do I malign him, and make so little of myself?
3622Why do n''t you try again?
3622Why do you ask that?
3622Why do you desert me now?
3622Why does she want to see you?"
3622Why else had he followed her, and spoken such words to her?
3622Why had Tregear gone to Grex, and having gone there why had he kept his journey a secret?
3622Why had he come to Polpenno?
3622Why had n''t Silverbridge taken him down to Scotland for the grouse?
3622Why had she been asked to the dinner at Richmond?
3622Why is it all over with Lady Mabel Grex?"
3622Why not;--to her or whomsoever else he might like best?
3622Why not?
3622Why not?"
3622Why should I refuse him?
3622Why should I stay here?
3622Why should I tell falsehoods now?
3622Why should I?
3622Why should I?
3622Why should he be treated as no other father would be treated?
3622Why should he have come after what had occurred yesterday?
3622Why should he wish to make me unhappy all my life?"
3622Why should he?
3622Why should it be supposed that he would desire to send his girl away from him?
3622Why should n''t he be safe to run?"
3622Why should not Silverbridge be as well entitled to his choice as she considered herself to be?
3622Why should not a young lady have her privileged communications?"
3622Why should not he do as others always did?
3622Why should not the girl have the man if he were lovable?
3622Why should she have prolonged her visit?
3622Why should she lose the prize if it might still be her own?
3622Why should she not?
3622Why should she remain at Matching for the sake of being mixed up in a scene the acting of which could not fail to be disagreeable to her?
3622Why should she?"
3622Why should the Duke of Omnium wish to meet her?
3622Why should there have been a tear?
3622Why should they not be lovers?
3622Why should you ask all this?
3622Why should you not fly high?
3622Why should you?
3622Why should your father be so sure of it?"
3622Why was it that, for him, such a world of misery had been prepared?
3622Why was she invited to Custins?
3622Why wo n''t you be as honest to me?
3622Why would n''t she come?"
3622Will they not, papa?"
3622Will you answer me a question?"
3622Will you call me vain if I say that I almost think you do?
3622Will you come with me?
3622Will you ever come to that?"
3622Will you love me, Isabel?"
3622Will you please to tell me what it is you are afraid of?
3622Will you send for it?"
3622Will your Duchesses and your Countesses give her theirs?"
3622Wo n''t you bring your sister to see me some day?"
3622Would Lord Silverbridge be so good as to pay the money to Mr. Green Griffin and debit him, Tifto, with the share of his loss?
3622Would he be made to know them now, during this visit?
3622Would he not die for her,--or for them,--if he could so serve them?
3622Would he speak in the next Session?
3622Would it be proper that he should marry an American?
3622Would it help me in my prospects if your friend Lord Silverbridge knew that I was here?"
3622Would it not be better that he should be absent?
3622Would it not be imperative on her part to tell her father the whole story?
3622Would it not be sweet?
3622Would n''t it be a change, Miss Cass?"
3622Would not many an old Roman have said as much for some favourite Greek slave,--for some freedman whom he would admit to his very heart?
3622Would not such a one, so soft, so easy, so prone to be caught and so desirable for the catching, be sure to be made prey of by some snare?
3622Would not that be tomfoolery too?"
3622Would not this be a good opportunity for breaking the matter to his father?
3622Would she not have all his family with her,--and all the world of England?
3622Would that be fair?"
3622Would that suit you?"
3622Would the ground on which the sacrifice had been made then justify itself to you?
3622Would you dare to tell Lady Mary that you had been sitting alone with me on the rocks at Grex?"
3622Would you have me for a sister?"
3622Would you like the Finns?"
3622Would you mind reading that letter?
3622Would you not be happier if you would let me write to Lady Cantrip, and tell her that you will go to her?"
3622Would you not have worshipped her for showing that she was not ashamed of her love?"
3622Would you think that another man would be doing well for himself by marrying Miss Boncassen?"
3622Would your marriage with an American lady vex him less?"
3622Yes; and where to?
3622You deceived, but did not mean to deceive me?"
3622You do n''t imagine that I would take it from you?"
3622You do n''t know any fellow that would buy half- a- dozen hunters; do you?"
3622You do n''t suppose that I think he would be disgraced?
3622You do n''t suppose that if she were here I would let her see you in my house without her father''s leave?"
3622You do not believe that?"
3622You do not suppose that anybody had planned it?"
3622You felt it so?"
3622You have n''t heard about Gerald?"
3622You have never seen Grex?"
3622You have no objection to his coming, papa?"
3622You heard of that row about the hounds?"
3622You mean that I must n''t paint any man''s house?
3622You mean to imply that you can save money by leaguing yourself with Major Tifto?"
3622You understand that; do you not?"
3622You will believe me?"
3622You will help me?"
3622You will not be angry?
3622You will not give it up?"
3622You will not remember that against me?"
3622You will tell him soon?"
3622You wo n''t tell; will you?"
3622You would not put one that you love into such a position?"
3622You''ll stop your time out, I suppose?"
3622You, no doubt, will say that I am flying high?"
3622Your Lordship could n''t do anything for me?
3622Your father has already told you that;--has he not?"
3622and where is Isabel?"
3622but if I were to bid you to cut my throat, would you do it?"
3622what comes of it?
3622where to?
3622why should I,--I who have been preaching that comfortable doctrine of hypocrisy?
