26889 | A soldier-- but what Government employs cannibals as soldiers? |
26889 | Ah, but will it? 26889 And Madame Berselius, how is she?" |
26889 | And Madame Berselius? |
26889 | And at the skyline? |
26889 | And how did you like the Belgians? |
26889 | And how is Monsieur le Capitaine? |
26889 | And the malaria? |
26889 | And then? |
26889 | And this happened to him,said she,"when he was trying to save a servant''s life?" |
26889 | Are you a good shot? |

26889 | Are you brave enough to look at material evidence? |
26889 | Are you going to practise in the States? |
26889 | Are you sure? |
26889 | As doctor? |
26889 | As mad as Berselius? |
26889 | Back? 26889 Bauchardy?" |
26889 | But can an injury change a person like that? |
26889 | By the way,said he,"where is the_ Chef de Poste_?" |
26889 | Did anyone else come with you as well as the white men? |
26889 | Do you feel me touching you? |
26889 | Do you feel that? |
26889 | Do you know anything special against Captain Berselius? |
26889 | Do you remember? |
26889 | Do you remember? |
26889 | Do you see the skyline? |
26889 | Do? 26889 Drugs?" |
26889 | Even after all this time? |
26889 | Expose who? |
26889 | Going with Captain Berselius as a friend? |
26889 | Has he regained consciousness? |
26889 | Have you any cartridges? |
26889 | Have you any pain? |
26889 | Have you had much experience amidst big game, and can you make out your own list of requirements, or shall I help you with my advice? |
26889 | How about a guide? |
26889 | How are you to- day? |
26889 | How do I know? |
26889 | How do you know? |
26889 | How far are we from the river now? |
26889 | How long is it since they passed here? |
26889 | How many men are making up your party? |
26889 | How many miles away was it? |
26889 | How on earth do you know? |
26889 | How so? |
26889 | How so? |
26889 | How would you like to go on a big- game shooting expedition to the Congo? |
26889 | I? 26889 Killed him?" |
26889 | M''Bassa? |
26889 | My dear sir,said Stenhouse,"did you ever meet a bad man worth twopence at his trade who had not good qualities? |
26889 | No news? |
26889 | Not Captain Berselius? |
26889 | Now,said Adams in triumph,"do you remember that?" |
26889 | Oh, we''ll get there,said Adams,"and shall I tell you why? |
26889 | One moment; why did I not think of it before? 26889 Overwork?" |
26889 | Paris? |
26889 | Right or Left? 26889 Shall we try back?" |
26889 | So you are back from-- where was it you went to? 26889 Some pressure?" |
26889 | Sure? 26889 That is the road we came by?" |
26889 | The thing is there-- has been there for years-- can you destroy the past? |
26889 | This is due to the result of the injury, is it not? |
26889 | Well,said Adams,"what''s wrong?" |
26889 | Well? |
26889 | What are the exports here? |
26889 | What caused the trouble? |
26889 | What did you bring this thing for? |
26889 | What is it? |
26889 | What is it? |
26889 | What would you do? |
26889 | What would you have? 26889 When I dream I become my old self again-- is that not strange?" |
26889 | Where are you going? |
26889 | Where did you lose the white men? |
26889 | Which way? |
26889 | Who is Monsieur Pugin? |
26889 | Who, then, was Bauchardy? |
26889 | Whom are you going with? |
26889 | Why had they not told? |
26889 | Why not? |
26889 | Why, since you are back sound and whole, it seems to me you have not done so badly-- but perhaps you have got malaria? |
26889 | Why, what on earth could you want with such an obsolete weapon as that? |
26889 | Why? |
26889 | Why? |
26889 | Will you give me this man''s address? 26889 Yes?" |
26889 | Yes? |
26889 | Yes? |
26889 | Yes? |
26889 | You can see all right? |
26889 | You have had to do with big game? |
26889 | You know M. Thénard intimately? |
26889 | You know your name? |
26889 | You mean to say that everyone knows what I know? |
26889 | Your mother? |
26889 | _ Did you kill those people by the Silent Pools?_The awful man at the table was beginning to work himself up. |
26889 | _ Did you kill those people----?_"Punishment,stuttered Meeus. |
26889 | _ Ma foi!_said he,"it is terrible what you tell me, but what are we to do?" |
26889 | ''What are we to do?'' |
26889 | Adams?" |
26889 | Ah, but is he? |
26889 | Ah, yes-- you require a complete outfit, I suppose?" |
26889 | And Berselius? |
26889 | And how are the tigers? |
26889 | And how is Madame Berselius?" |
26889 | And now came the question, How would the soldiers take the death of the_ Chef de Poste_? |
26889 | And now,"looking at his watch,"will you do me the pleasure of staying to_ déjeuner_?" |
26889 | And which was the nobler instinct? |
26889 | Are you prepared to act as medical attendant to my new expedition?" |
26889 | As you give me so short a time to make my decision about you, I suppose you have already made your decision about me?" |
26889 | Can you atone for your vices by losing your smell and taste for vice, and slip out of your debt for crime by becoming another man? |
26889 | Captain Berselius?" |
26889 | Could he do this? |
26889 | Did you notice whether we were in the track for the last mile or so of our journey yesterday?" |
26889 | Do we know how he answered it? |
26889 | Do we know how she answered that question? |
26889 | Do you feel yourself able to talk for a bit?" |
26889 | Do you think he did not take that into his consideration when he planned the affair and laid down the factory? |
26889 | Does the old man ever die? |
26889 | Everything needful was in the instrument- case, but had it escaped destruction? |
26889 | Have you any plans?" |
26889 | He saw death, and to shut out the sight he put his big hands before his face----""And you?" |
26889 | He was dying, but what beast full of life is more dangerous than the dying tiger? |
26889 | Here in the open he had a hundred tiny indications on either side of him, but amidst the trees how could he find his way? |
26889 | How could a man whose memory was almost entirely obscured lead them right? |
26889 | How do you find it here, M. Meeus, when you are by yourself?" |
26889 | How much is she?" |
26889 | I have put it off, but I feel I must speak-- what has happened to him?" |
26889 | I would not be tormented with the other self which is me, now?" |
26889 | Is not that so?" |
26889 | It is only the reasoning mind that fears death, the mind that can still say to itself,"What will come after?" |
26889 | Now tell me, if you operate and remove the pressure, may I become myself again?" |
26889 | Of what use? |
26889 | Only for a moment he hesitated, then leading the way across the warm and flower- scented hall, he opened a door and said,"Will monsieur take a seat?" |
26889 | Only in sleep do I become myself again-- do you understand me? |
26889 | Say, how much is this thing?" |
26889 | See here, why do n''t you start in Paris?" |
26889 | The level eye that raised to no man and lowered before no man, the aspect of command and the ease of perfect control and power-- where were they? |
26889 | The rotation of the earth? |
26889 | Then he said,"You notice a change in your father?" |
26889 | These had raised their voices calling for Justice-- with what result? |
26889 | Thénard?" |
26889 | Was Berselius under the influence of forced amendment of this sort? |
26889 | Was it possible that Berselius would guide them back? |
26889 | Was it possible that God''s world could hold two such creatures, and that God''s air should give them breath? |
26889 | Was it possible that memory could lead him through that labyrinth once it grew dense? |
26889 | Well, and how did the expedition go off?" |
26889 | What are you doing with yourself?" |
26889 | What do you know about him?" |
26889 | What is the advice?" |
26889 | What is this thing that has happened to me?" |
26889 | What things have not slaked their thirst in this quiet water flooding past Matadi-- and wallowed in it? |
26889 | When do you start?" |
26889 | Whether he was dazed, or whether he knew that he had miscalculated his chances, who knows? |
26889 | Who knows? |
26889 | Why should I torment your heart as well as my own?" |
26889 | Why should I turn away my face from suffering? |
26889 | Why should he be haunted like this? |
26889 | Why waste the other three? |
26889 | Will an operation remove that pressure?" |
26889 | Will you go to- morrow and see Monsieur Pugin? |
26889 | Would Berselius be able to guide them amidst the trees? |
26889 | Would Berselius be able to penetrate that jungle? |
26889 | Would Berselius remember and turn, or would he get confused and go on in a straight line? |
26889 | Would you like to come with me?" |
26889 | You come to seek sympathy for this people amongst the French public? |
26889 | You remember what you said to me when we parted? |
26889 | do you remember that tree? |
26889 | said Stenhouse,"when is it with a medical man, especially when he is just starting? |
26889 | what do I care? |
26889 | you there!--where are you going?" |
12556 | Above the water- gate? |
12556 | And I-- well, I once had a practice at home; and got into a row over a woman; and when the row was through, well, where was the practice? 12556 And buried themselves in the slime?" |
12556 | And if not? |
12556 | And if you please, why should n''t it be? 12556 And she''s''My Lady''now, if she only knew?" |
12556 | And smash up the telegraph instruments afterward, so that it could not be contradicted till it was well under way? |
12556 | And they are quite unworthy of protection? |
12556 | And we may be blown up against the sky as a thin kind of rain any minute? 12556 And what about the rifles, sir?" |
12556 | And what would be the result of that, do you think? |
12556 | And where''s that? |
12556 | And who pays the piper? 12556 And why not? |
12556 | And you remember what you told me on that steamboat? 12556 And you''d still marry this woman if she had another husband living?" |
12556 | And you''re thinking she''d be a nice plum if we could pluck her in anywhere? |
12556 | And-- er-- previous employment? 12556 Beg pardon, sir?" |
12556 | Beg pardon,said Kettle,"he takes yours, does he? |
12556 | But about the missionary brute? |
12556 | But do you want,said the lady,"no present?" |
12556 | But how can we move? 12556 But how did you guess, man, how did you know where we were bound?" |
12556 | But how? 12556 But is it true what this gentleman''s been telling me?" |
12556 | But then you speak languages? |
12556 | But what are you two doing down there? |
12556 | But you know what they are? |
12556 | But, tell me, what did the little chap go overboard for? |
12556 | Captain Kettle,said the sulky Mate,"that was in the Congo Pilot Service?" |
12556 | Come, what is it now, Captain? |
12556 | Did n''t you hear the report they''ve just sung off from the boats? 12556 Did you know that we came here to stir up a war between our folks at home and the Transvaal?" |
12556 | Did you threaten to get him into trouble over it? 12556 Do all your crowd understand the language?" |
12556 | Do much business in your particular line? |
12556 | Do n''t I tell you, Captain, I''m on my own hook? 12556 Do you know Captain Tazzuchi?" |
12556 | Do you know you''re asking me to ruin myself? |
12556 | Do you mean to say we can retake her? 12556 Do you say,"she demanded,"you onwilling marry me?" |
12556 | Do you say,the Lady Emir repeated,"you onwilling marry me?" |
12556 | Does Mr. Hamilton know you? |
12556 | Does he, indeed? 12556 Does this Mr.--"Kettle referred to the passenger list--"Hamilton''s the rogue''s name, is n''t it?" |
12556 | Does this thief Cranze? |
12556 | Done what? |
12556 | Drunk as usual, are you? 12556 Dunkhot? |
12556 | Fat, is she? |
12556 | Fine full- rigger, has n''t she been? 12556 For why?" |
12556 | Fuddled again, are you? 12556 Funny, was n''t it?" |
12556 | Good Heavens, Skipper, what are you talking about? 12556 Good Lord, man, why? |
12556 | Good old smell,said Nilssen,"is n''t it? |
12556 | Great heavens,he thought,"was the mate dead?" |
12556 | H''m,said the mate thoughtfully;"but will Wenlock be as civil and limp next time you call, sir?" |
12556 | Has n''t that missionary brute sent for it yet? |
12556 | Have I ever been anything else all my life? |
12556 | Have n''t you got a better? |
12556 | Have you been getting their backs up, then? |
12556 | Have you heard anything then? |
12556 | Have you searched the ship? |
12556 | Him? 12556 How did you get hold of it?" |
12556 | How do they spell the name? 12556 How do you mean, sir?" |
12556 | How do you think those crafty imps have managed it? |
12556 | How long would I be before I had that joker in irons? |
12556 | How shall we get off again? |
12556 | How''s it managed? |
12556 | How''s that, umpire? |
12556 | How? |
12556 | Howdy? |
12556 | Hullo, have n''t they told you? |
12556 | Hullo, what''s up now? 12556 Hullo,"he said,"postman, were you; not conjuror? |
12556 | Hullo,said Sheriff,"what''s that mean? |
12556 | Hullo,said he,"those two niggers gone already? |
12556 | Hullo? |
12556 | I see your way of looking at it: the whole crowd of stock operators are a gang of thieves that no decent man would care to touch? |
12556 | I suppose the people at home think you carry the Glad Tidings only? |
12556 | I suppose you know something about it? 12556 I wonder what spiflicating is?" |
12556 | If we are spilt getting ashore,said White,"how do you say we''ll get off again?" |
12556 | Is it? |
12556 | Is she the head chief''s favorite wife, then? |
12556 | Look here, you want that old sinner Nilssen cured? |
12556 | Look here,he said to Tazzuchi one morning,"what price those gentry ashore having found the wreck already? |
12556 | Me no savvy? |
12556 | Now,he said,"where''s Rad? |
12556 | Now,he said,"you seen my_ ju- ju?_ You savvy him too- big_ ju- ju_? |
12556 | Now,he said,"you seen my_ ju- ju?_ You savvy him too- big_ ju- ju_? |
12556 | Oh, am I? |
12556 | Oh, he''s going to kill me, is he? |
12556 | Oh, you are his Worship, are you? |
12556 | Old Cappie Nilssen? 12556 Pah, my good man, what does that matter to you? |
12556 | Run the old shop into a war, would you? |
12556 | Set up as a trader, that is? |
12556 | Shall I be getting derricks rigged and the hatch covers off? |
12556 | Shall I have to wait long before this appointment is confirmed? |
12556 | She was coming home from East Indian ports, was n''t she, and got on fire somewhere off Cape Guardafui? 12556 Should I know your name, sir?" |
12556 | Skirt or photographing? |
12556 | So there is really a woman of that kind there, is there? 12556 So you gluttonous, careless brutes have set fire to her, have you? |
12556 | Supposing they were rifles, what than? |
12556 | Suspect any one? |
12556 | That chap insured; that chap make a will in my favor? 12556 That foul- looking wooden god with the looking- glass eyes?" |
12556 | That you, Murray? 12556 The man that consigned all that parcel of figs for London?" |
12556 | Then we are out of the wood now? |
12556 | There''s something that tickles you, sir? |
12556 | There, sir,said Kettle_ sotto voce_ to Dayton- Philipps,"you see the marvellousness of it? |
12556 | Think I''m going to back down for a tribe of nasty, stinking, man- eating niggers? 12556 Think so?" |
12556 | Trading missionary, is he? 12556 Ugh,"said Kettle,"dog stew, is it? |
12556 | Up country village, eh? 12556 Want a pull into Cardiff or Newport?" |
12556 | We shall have these fellows rebelling next,said the Commandant,"if you push them too hard; and if they join the rest, where shall we be?" |
12556 | Well, Capt''n, now, about this berth? 12556 Well, pilot, what''s the news?" |
12556 | Well, sir? |
12556 | Well,said Kettle,"have they made you a colonel yet, or are they only going to give you the Congo medal?" |
12556 | Well,said Kettle,"what was the message?" |
12556 | Well? |
12556 | Well? |
12556 | Well? |
12556 | Well? |
12556 | Well? |
12556 | Well? |
12556 | Well? |
12556 | Well?'' 12556 What are you driving at?" |
12556 | What did you want it for? 12556 What do you mean?" |
12556 | What does he want to go ashore for at a one- eyed hole like this? 12556 What for?" |
12556 | What other object should white men have up- country in Africa? |
12556 | What rifles? 12556 What ship was it? |
12556 | What were you run in for? |
12556 | What''d be the good of that? 12556 What''s in it?" |
12556 | What''s the use? |
12556 | What''s tripped him? |
12556 | What, my being keen about the money? |
12556 | What, you''ll import a missionary? |
12556 | Which is another way of saying you want me to risk my skin to get you your prescription? |
12556 | Who pays for the cargo Captain Kuttle threw overboard? |
12556 | Why did n''t you say so before? 12556 Why on earth do you two keep on nagging? |
12556 | Why, just went and tackled the passenger- boy and dashed him a case of gin; and when he sobered up again, where was the ju- ju? 12556 Why?" |
12556 | Will they? |
12556 | Will you give Rad dem rifles, you low white fellow? |
12556 | Yes? |
12556 | You are on the Stock Exchange yourself, sir? |
12556 | You deny all knowledge of how he got overboard? |
12556 | You think he''ll get a crew, then, sir, and not our deckhands? |
12556 | You were with Kevendales? |
12556 | You''ve been luckier? |
12556 | You? 12556 Your leg ought to be cut off?" |
12556 | Yucatan,said Cranze,"that''s the ruined cities shop, is n''t it?" |
12556 | _ And what guarantee have I that the firm will pocket even that pittance? 12556 A voice, muffled and foggy, as though it came from a long distance, said in surprise:Why, Captain, have they got you here, too?" |
12556 | Am I asked to be Emir in your country?" |
12556 | Am I to break up the whole of this ship''s company by myself?" |
12556 | And did they bring you straight along here?" |
12556 | And f''why is it, Capt''n? |
12556 | And so with a gulp he said instead:"You''re sure it''s deliberate poisoning?" |
12556 | And that was worth? |
12556 | And then where would be his sighed- for salvage? |
12556 | And who might you be, anyway?" |
12556 | And why? |
12556 | Anyway, what can we do? |
12556 | Are n''t you under promise to get £ 50 from me the moment I''m safely married? |
12556 | Are you a competent medicated practitioner?" |
12556 | Are you competent medicated practitioner?" |
12556 | Are you going to be all night with that bit of stuff?" |
12556 | Are you going to take it?" |
12556 | Are you losing''em much?" |
12556 | Are you sure they were_ pukka_ dead when you put them over the side?" |
12556 | Are you worth your salt? |
12556 | But ca n''t you arrange it by your friend the ambassador?" |
12556 | But had n''t we better ask the Mate for his cargo- book first, so as to make sure?" |
12556 | But it don''matter to you pilot, does it? |
12556 | But perhaps I''m making a mistake? |
12556 | But three? |
12556 | But what could one do? |
12556 | But what guarantee had he that this robbery was not planned to draw plunder from the outside public as well? |
12556 | But what of that? |
12556 | But will the other relatives of the young lady, those that are employing you, I mean, agree to that?" |
12556 | But would they get what I want out of the witch- doctor? |
12556 | But, my good sir, do n''t you see that if you speak out like that, you''ll probably scare the beggar off his game altogether?" |
12556 | By James, do you think you can speak to me as if I was a common railway director? |
12556 | Can you give me the right physic to pull Captain Nilssen round?" |
12556 | Can you handle a drill or a monkey wrench, yourself?" |
12556 | Come now, have you thought out what we can do with the steamer after we''ve finished our job here?" |
12556 | Come, now, where''s the mate?" |
12556 | Commandant Balliot, have you any mechanics amongst your lot?" |
12556 | Cuttle?" |
12556 | Did he bring off the message, sir?" |
12556 | Did none of you ever wash?" |
12556 | Did you ever dabble in stocks?" |
12556 | Did you know it was valuable then?" |
12556 | Did you never see a boat iced up before? |
12556 | Do you know whose house this is?" |
12556 | Do you think my ship''s a blessed detective novel that''s to be run just for your amusement?" |
12556 | Do you want any rousing along?" |
12556 | Do you want proof?" |
12556 | Doc, are you handy with tools?" |
12556 | Got''em all?" |
12556 | Got''em?" |
12556 | Great Scot, Captain Kettle, ca n''t you tell a Dago yet for sure? |
12556 | Guess you''ll know the crowd I mean?" |
12556 | Had good fishing?" |
12556 | Had n''t you better stay? |
12556 | Hamilton?" |
12556 | Have a cocktail?" |
12556 | Have n''t I told you that I''ve thought the whole thing thoroughly over already, and I''m not inclined to stick at trifles? |
12556 | Have they been at you about those rifles, sir?" |
12556 | Have you been messing round with some girl?" |
12556 | Have you forgotten all your''mainsail haul''and the square- rig gymnastics?" |
12556 | Have you had enough?" |
12556 | Have you heard about the mate?" |
12556 | Have you seen visions or something?" |
12556 | He saw Tazzuchi on the deck and accosted him with a vigorous handshake, and a"Hullo, Fizz- hookey, old man, how goes it? |
12556 | He shouted up the companion way--"On top there, quartermaster?" |
12556 | He shrugged his shoulders, and said"Sabbey?" |
12556 | He''d his money to his credit anyway-- and what''s money compared with poetry?" |
12556 | Here, who was in the engine room?" |
12556 | How about those three we''ve got on board? |
12556 | How did you get hold of it?" |
12556 | How did you guess it was me?" |
12556 | How do I know that I shall see even the money outpaid again, let alone reasonable interest? |
12556 | How had we better start to find the girl?" |
12556 | How the mischief did you get here, anyway?" |
12556 | I guess you have n''t come just in search of health?" |
12556 | I mean where will the money for your profit come from?" |
12556 | I say, Skipper, ca n''t you come to some agreement with Rad over those blessed rifles? |
12556 | I suppose you go straight home by mail from Aden here?" |
12556 | I wonder if that yellow- faced Belgian doctor will live to give us_ pratique_?" |
12556 | I wonder if you call yourselves white men to let a crowd of niggers clear you out of your ship like that?" |
12556 | I wonder if you think you''re going to jam a knife into me by way of making things snug and safe?" |
12556 | If ever you''ve been in a police court, you''ll always find the magistrate ask,''Who began this trouble?'' |
12556 | If you start knocking about this ship''s company they''ll complain ashore, and then where''ll you be? |
12556 | Is a Mohammedan marriage made here binding for an Englishman?" |
12556 | Is he overboard?" |
12556 | Is it for a sort of introductory present?" |
12556 | Is n''t it the finest thing in the world for her?" |
12556 | Is your prisoner tall?" |
12556 | Kady, are you? |
12556 | Kettle?" |
12556 | Look out of that window; it''s a bit glary with the sun full on, but do you see those rows of stakes the nets are made fast on? |
12556 | My good Skipper, you''re a handy man, I know, but what the blazes do you know about amputation?" |
12556 | Not nervous about yourself, eh?" |
12556 | Now I should have thought there was something about those Everglades that would have appealed to you, Skipper?" |
12556 | Now, Captain, are you going to take my check for that preliminary £ 20?" |
12556 | Now, what are you going to do next? |
12556 | Or am I to clear both ends in this boat by myself?" |
12556 | Or perhaps, to judge from that cauliflower nose of yours, you''re something that''s escaped out of a freak museum? |
12556 | Perhaps you''re a Dutchman or a Dago that''s learnt the language? |
12556 | Remember the remains of those two poor sacrificed wretches we found when we got here?" |
12556 | Run England in for a bloody war, would you, just for some filthy money? |
12556 | Sabby?" |
12556 | Savvy that belaying- pin I got in my fist? |
12556 | Savvy that?" |
12556 | Say, though, you have n''t told me what you''re up here for yet? |
12556 | Second Mate?" |
12556 | See what I mean?" |
12556 | See?" |
12556 | Should the week''s hero pay the bill himself out of his miserable savings? |
12556 | Steward-- where''s a steward? |
12556 | That''s the loneliest place where the cable goes ashore all up and down the coast, and it is n''t British, and what more could you want?" |
12556 | The gin and the guns are left clean out of the tale; and will Boston please send out some more subscriptions, one- time? |
12556 | The head- man noticed his action, and put a smiling question:"You no like dem climb- climb chop? |
12556 | Then you are employed by his lordship, sir?" |
12556 | There was a sound of distant coughing, and then the misty question:"What are you working at?" |
12556 | Thing like that makes you feel homey, does n''t it, sir?" |
12556 | This sort of press- gang work is n''t quite approved of nowadays, is it, Skipper?" |
12556 | Tooth him plenty sore?" |
12556 | Trying to guess where you met it before, eh? |
12556 | Used to be fireman on P. and O. I want arsk you--""Is this the Arabian Nights? |
12556 | Was the man going mad? |
12556 | We''re heading for it, eh?" |
12556 | What about crushed marigolds, eh?" |
12556 | What are you but a rebel? |
12556 | What did he think I should be doing whilst one of my mates was scoffing cargo under my blessed nose?" |
12556 | What did you lose your temper for like this? |
12556 | What do you make her out for?" |
12556 | What do you want, anyway?" |
12556 | What have they collared you for? |
12556 | What have you to do with saints and their days?" |
12556 | What might you be up here for?" |
12556 | What price?" |
12556 | What should I know about the fellow? |
12556 | What was the man that went overboard like?" |
12556 | What''s England ever done for you?" |
12556 | What''s he done?" |
12556 | What''s he want to go for?" |
12556 | Where are you off to now?" |
12556 | Where have you been all your days?" |
12556 | Where''s the swizzle- stick? |
12556 | Who wants to poison you?" |
12556 | Who''d have thought of seeing you here? |
12556 | Why ca n''t they let me alone? |
12556 | Why in the name of mischief should I want to meddle with the poor beggar? |
12556 | Will you chip in and bear a hand? |
12556 | Will you come off in the boat with me, Captain, and hand my lifeline?" |
12556 | Would he have any foolish English sentiment against slavery, and make a fuss? |
12556 | Would it be indiscreet to bring one sweltering day in Bahia to your memory, where you made play with a German( or was he a Scandinavian?) |
12556 | Yer age, Capt''n?" |
12556 | Yes, well?" |
12556 | You fit?" |
12556 | You have n''t a photo about you by any chance? |
12556 | You have n''t shifted them down below, I suppose?" |
12556 | You hear? |
12556 | You know the channel?" |
12556 | You know?" |
12556 | You remember Rad el Moussa?" |
12556 | You remember the wreck of the_ Rangoon_?" |
12556 | You see three trees growing on that island bang ahead? |
12556 | You want any more of it? |
12556 | You wish cargo?" |
12556 | You''ll get married, I suppose, on the strength of the promotion? |
12556 | You''ll have my passage money?" |
12556 | You''ll remember the orders I''ve given you? |
12556 | You''ve seen that big ju- ju in my room?" |
12556 | and a hundredweight drum of good white lead? |
12556 | are you Captain Kettle that piled up the old_ Atrocity_ on that iceberg? |
12556 | do they suppose I''ve got no pride? |
12556 | do you hear me? |
12556 | grunted the Mate,"Robinson''s a sea lawyer, is he? |
12556 | he asked,"or did you just guess?" |
12556 | it''s recruits for the State Army you''re bringing, is it?" |
12556 | said Kettle impatiently;"if he does n''t get back the wooden god, let''s hear what the game is next?" |
12556 | said Kettle,"who''s going to turn me out of Lagos; tell me that, sir?" |
12556 | that''s fine to think about, old man, is n''t it? |
12556 | you were looking on, were you?" |
39061 | ''Pon my soul, I''d forgotten my own birthday, and I have n''t the ghost of a notion what the day of the month is; have you, Barney? |
39061 | A boy, did you say, Barney? 39061 A fluke, was it? |
39061 | A machine gun? |
39061 | A steamer, eh? |
39061 | A wicked uncle, eh? |
39061 | All well? |
39061 | And I suppose you''ve alarmed the camp? |
39061 | And Lokolobolo? |
39061 | And Makoko? |
39061 | And are there pigmies in that forest-- little men, you know? |
39061 | And are your parents still chained to the tree? |
39061 | And did the cratur''give ye the slip, then? |
39061 | And go at them with a rush, uncle? |
39061 | And is she buried under them? |
39061 | And is that the way, sorr, they make the giants at the pantomime? |
39061 | And they have been killed-- not dying by the sleeping sickness? |
39061 | And what do you make of this? |
39061 | And what sort of feeling is now consuming ye, sorr? |
39061 | And what then, sorr? |
39061 | And what''ll ye be afther doing yourself, sorr? |
39061 | And where''s the pipe, sorr? 39061 And wo n''t it be aisy, sorr? |
39061 | And you did not get a pain? |
39061 | And you have not been attacked since? |
39061 | Another alarm, eh? |
39061 | Anything happened? |
39061 | Are we on the right road? |
39061 | Are you going? |
39061 | Are you sure none of the other men know enough English to serve my turn? |
39061 | Arrah thin, ye spalpeen, where''s Samba? |
39061 | Bandoka is sure the white officers are not coming through the forest? |
39061 | Bedad, sorr, is n''t it me that knows ye''d niver do it? 39061 Bedad, why should n''t we have a little rifle practice at''em, sorr? |
39061 | Begorra, I would, sorr; do they deserve any betther? 39061 But Samba, uncle?" |
39061 | But how came he here? |
39061 | But how could you tell that in the dark? |
39061 | But we have seen nothing of Samba; where is he? |
39061 | But what if I never come back, Barney? |
39061 | But what of their courts, Uncle? 39061 But what''ll we do wid the overflow, sorr? |
39061 | But where''s the gold, uncle? |
39061 | But who did it? 39061 Can not we get the people out uv the scoundhrel''s clutches widout fighting, sorr? |
39061 | Can they reach Ilola to- day, coming through the forest? |
39061 | Could n''t we do something to hould the attention uv those villains at the outpost while Samba and the chief are doing their job? |
39061 | Could n''t we leave all the licking to him, uncle? |
39061 | D''you see what has happened? 39061 D''you think we could do it, Barney? |
39061 | Dead, monsieur? |
39061 | Did I? |
39061 | Do n''t you ever have a fit of the dumps, Barney? 39061 Do you know anything of Samba, the son of Mboyo and nephew of Boloko, one of your master''s men?" |
39061 | Do you think it was a move of that Belgian fellow, uncle? |
39061 | Eh? 39061 Faith,''tis Irishmen that speak the best English,"returned Barney;"did I not hear them wid me very own ears in the house uv Parlimint?" |
39061 | Go on the stump like Gladstone? |
39061 | Has he killed many people? |
39061 | Have you called him? |
39061 | He dies, O Lokolobolo? |
39061 | He will not go yet to the Great Spirit, O Lokolobolo? |
39061 | Hi, now, Nando, what are you about? |
39061 | How are you now, Samba? |
39061 | How can that be? 39061 How did they come?" |
39061 | How did you find your way back in the dark? |
39061 | How far now? |
39061 | How many are the villains? |
39061 | How many fighting men are left to escort the canoes? |
39061 | How old is he, Nando? |
39061 | How will you do it? |
39061 | How''s that? |
39061 | I suppose you are going to take us there? 39061 I suppose you are very tired now, Samba?" |
39061 | I suppose you told him our men are not armed? |
39061 | I suppose you''ll just say''Go and be hanged''in answer to that? |
39061 | If he is so very sick, how did he come from the river into the forest? |
39061 | Is it far, Lofundo? |
39061 | Is it quite clear? |
39061 | Is it the fifteenth Psalm? 39061 Is that Ilombekabasi?" |
39061 | Is that the fashion uv keeping gyard? |
39061 | Is the boy getting better? |
39061 | It is the hand of Boloko, who whipped us and killed us, who can say how many? 39061 Just in revenge for not getting the baumba?" |
39061 | Lepoko speaks English, does he? |
39061 | Me fink dis plenty bad; what for man lib for hide in tree and look at Nando? 39061 Might it not be to prevent reinforcements from reaching us, sorr?" |
39061 | Mr. Elbel? 39061 Now I wonder if he could tell us all about it?" |
39061 | Now what are we to do with him? |
39061 | Now, Lepoko,he said, putting himself between the chiefs and sitting on the buffalo''s head,"what is all this about?" |
39061 | O kend''o? |
39061 | Only what could he do, if he came? |
39061 | Perhaps he was fishing? |
39061 | Samba? 39061 Say, was n''t it Macaulay who said he''d write a nation''s history from its ballads? |
39061 | Send him to Oxford? |
39061 | Shall we admit Makole? |
39061 | Shall we go back and send a party to cut him up? |
39061 | Shall we let him go, Barney? |
39061 | Spoiling for a fight, eh? 39061 Suppose the talk of gold turns out to be wind, uncle?" |
39061 | That is the truth, Ifumi? |
39061 | That''s the scout of Massa Barney''s who was captured, is n''t it? |
39061 | The dog has gone too, eh? 39061 The fire is burning out; what does it matter if it burns a little more quickly? |
39061 | The whipping is to be to- morrow? 39061 Then why not take the offensive, uncle?" |
39061 | They taught you history at Rugby, did they? 39061 Three men will certainly be killed; are not the scouts Makoko, Lianza, and Lingombela, three of the best marksmen in Ilombekabasi? |
39061 | Tow him, eh? 39061 True; how did you get away, Samba?" |
39061 | Very good, sorr,said Barney;"but what''ll become uv Ilola? |
39061 | Well, and what is it wid ye thin? |
39061 | Well, do n''t you think that, now our numbers are reduced, it would be as well to move our camp nearer to Imbono''s village? 39061 Well, what are the lines?" |
39061 | Well, what are you driving at, Barney? |
39061 | Well, what is it? |
39061 | Well, what''s become of them, then? 39061 Well, who are you, and what do you want?" |
39061 | Well? |
39061 | Were many of your people killed? |
39061 | What are they singing, Lepoko? |
39061 | What can you do, my boy? |
39061 | What d''you mean? |
39061 | What did I say at all at all? |
39061 | What did he mean by that? |
39061 | What do they say now, Lepoko? |
39061 | What do you make of this? |
39061 | What do you mean-- a bit of her? |
39061 | What do you mean? 39061 What do you say at all?" |
39061 | What do you say, uncle? 39061 What do you think of this, Barney? |
39061 | What does that matter? 39061 What have you been doing?" |
39061 | What have you got in those bundles? |
39061 | What is it, uncle? |
39061 | What is this, Makole? |
39061 | What might that be, sorr? |
39061 | What on earth for? |
39061 | What was the firing? |
39061 | What would be the good uv doing anything else, sorr? 39061 What would be the good uv it, sorr? |
39061 | What would he be doing that for, sorr? 39061 What would ye have any truck wid Elbel''s scoundhrels for?" |
39061 | What''s that? |
39061 | What''s the matter with you, man? |
39061 | What''s the matter, Nando? |
39061 | What''s the meaning of it, I wonder? |
39061 | What''s this? 39061 What''s to be done, my boy?" |
39061 | What? |
39061 | Where are they? |
39061 | Where are they? |
39061 | Where are you going? |
39061 | Where is Samba then? |
39061 | Where is he? |
39061 | Where''s that villain Nando? |
39061 | Which one? |
39061 | Who are you? |
39061 | Who is he? |
39061 | Who is he? |
39061 | Who on earth''s Pat? |
39061 | Who was the chief of these bad men? |
39061 | Why did he send you? 39061 Why do you say that?" |
39061 | Why do you wish to leave Limpoko? |
39061 | Why does he smile? |
39061 | Why not say Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, uncle? |
39061 | Why not, sir? 39061 Why, sorr, why not drop down some uv them boulders we keep for repairing the wall? |
39061 | Why? 39061 Why?" |
39061 | Will you tell? |
39061 | Would it be indiscreet to ask your reasons? |
39061 | Would you be meaning to go for them, sorr? |
39061 | You are the servants of Mutela? |
39061 | You did not provoke Bomolo? |
39061 | You have another white man with you now, besides Elobela? |
39061 | You leave to- morrow? |
39061 | You mean that I''m deserting my ally, eh? |
39061 | You mean that the enemy might try to divert the stream if they attacked our camp? |
39061 | You mean? |
39061 | You refuse me, Ngondisi? |
39061 | You see what they are at, Barney? |
39061 | You think so, monsieur? |
39061 | You told me that none of the men speak English but yourself,said Mr. Martindale;"is that true?" |
39061 | You zink so? 39061 _ Reductio ad absurdum_, uncle?" |
39061 | ''An''what would ye be afther, Mike?'' |
39061 | ''An''who is it this time but that same Patsy?'' |
39061 | ''Bedad,''says he,''what will have come to Biddy at all?'' |
39061 | ''Catch him?'' |
39061 | ''Catch what?'' |
39061 | ''He that walketh uprightly----''I can not remember, Jack.--Is that boy Samba better? |
39061 | ''Is n''t it meself that''s just got a penny for that same news?'' |
39061 | ''Ku? |
39061 | ''What is it ye''d be maning?'' |
39061 | --don''t ye hear him, sorr?--''what in the world will I want wid all these disgraceful lookin''objects? |
39061 | --here Barney helped out his meaning with pantomime--"nor dream all that terrible wild stuff you have just been telling us?" |
39061 | ... are your practices legal, Mr. Elbel? |
39061 | A directorate-- a few directorates-- a snug place at Court-- who knows? |
39061 | And Barnio!--was it not Barnio who had led them to the stockade with that wild war- cry of his? |
39061 | And bedad, if he''d had good things to say uv the State officers, would n''t he have said''em? |
39061 | And besides, did he not writhe and groan with every blow? |
39061 | And did he not try to murder ye before the fight began? |
39061 | And how will ye go to work wid the bogie, sorr?" |
39061 | And is n''t it all his deeds that prove it, with his whips and his forest guards-- blagyards I call''em-- and all? |
39061 | And the white man, the Son of Heaven, wanted_ botofé_; it had some value for him? |
39061 | And the white men of Bula Matadi-- did not they sometimes seize black boys, and make them soldiers or serfs? |
39061 | And what could he say to convince Imbono that he was no friend of the white men who authorized or permitted such things? |
39061 | And what would his uncle say to it? |
39061 | And what''s this blood brother business anyway? |
39061 | And who are you?" |
39061 | And who is this? |
39061 | Any other men in the hut?" |
39061 | Are not these things happening every day? |
39061 | Are you absolutely inhuman? |
39061 | Arlington?" |
39061 | As for right, what right has the Inglesa to interfere? |
39061 | As soon as they came in sight the leader of Jack''s escort cried--"O etswa? |
39061 | Barney, Barney, will you never come? |
39061 | Bimeby man come down like snake, creep, creep,''long,''long; me go too, what for? |
39061 | But Samba''s the ould wan himself at schaming; will I fetch him?" |
39061 | But are we near Banonga, Nando?" |
39061 | But are ye sure Imbono would be willing to have us for close neighbours?" |
39061 | But the young fellow was certainly very polite; why not humour him by letting him talk? |
39061 | But they knew Lokolobolo; had he not time and again brought Elobela''s schemes to nought? |
39061 | But what can we do, O Lokolobolo? |
39061 | But what do you think of the idea?" |
39061 | But what does it all mean, anyway?" |
39061 | But what on earth did the fellow want with the boy?" |
39061 | But what thin? |
39061 | But what was this animal they had brought with them? |
39061 | But what was this? |
39061 | But what will you be after doing at all, sorr?" |
39061 | But where are the huts?" |
39061 | But where are the people?" |
39061 | But who are the two white men wid him, thin? |
39061 | But who is in the litter?" |
39061 | But why did ye not bring it, me darlint?" |
39061 | But you talk of fighting Elbel; have you thought of the risk?" |
39061 | But''tis the morning for Lingombela to go to the village for eggs; could he not find out what you wish to know?" |
39061 | Can you lend me an interpreter?" |
39061 | Can you stomach native food? |
39061 | Could he get down the gully side, I wonder?" |
39061 | Could he have done otherwise than he had done? |
39061 | Could he trust Barney to continue his work if he should be removed? |
39061 | Could he venture to build a fire? |
39061 | Could his sudden departure from the village, Jack wondered, have been his first move in this direction? |
39061 | Could n''t we persuade Boloko to keep his men in order-- bribe him, perhaps?" |
39061 | Could n''t we wait an hour or two and see if he appears?" |
39061 | Could they pick it up again-- trace him to the tree and follow him up? |
39061 | Could this be Bula Matadi, Samba wondered, the white man whom his grandfather, the chief Mirambo, had seen long ago at Wanganga? |
39061 | Could we rush the camp before the main body could be brought to its relief?" |
39061 | D''you know you''ve thrown away a nugget worth I do n''t know how many dollars?" |
39061 | Dat is de English vay-- de boxe, hein?" |
39061 | Did not Samba say that Lokolobolo gave him his last bottle of devil water?" |
39061 | Did the forest contain_ botofé_? |
39061 | Did they not say the Great White Chief loved us and wished to do us good? |
39061 | Did ye, or did ye not, eat a big supper uv anything at all last night?" |
39061 | Did you ever see such a big man? |
39061 | Did you explain that we do n''t belong to the Great White Chief, Nando?" |
39061 | Do n''t the streets uv London prove it whin the County Council has been taking up the drains?" |
39061 | Do n''t you think, Barney, a lighted candle behind the paper would make a very decent sort of bogie?" |
39061 | Do the spalpeens think they''ll catch us napping, begore?" |
39061 | Do ye think Barney O''Dowd would have hung out a white rag and surrindered? |
39061 | Do you blame me now, sir?" |
39061 | Do you know what I would do in your place, sir? |
39061 | Do you remember I said at Banonga that I was n''t a philanthropist and was n''t set on starting a crusade? |
39061 | Do you think anything has happened to him? |
39061 | Does n''t it seem to you odd that Uncle says nothing about the rubber question? |
39061 | Eh? |
39061 | Elbel?" |
39061 | Elbel?" |
39061 | Even Samba, forest- bred, had barely survived the perils of a solitary journey: how could a white man expect to fare so well? |
39061 | Even if he escaped the former, what chance was there of success? |
39061 | For how many maimings and murders had this man been responsible? |
39061 | For why are the niggers here not lazy, sorr? |
39061 | Getting a little appetite, eh? |
39061 | Had Elbel at last fathomed the secret of his water supply? |
39061 | Had Providence, moving in mysterious ways, arranged all this-- that one should suffer for the sake of many? |
39061 | Had Samba escaped the clutches of his enemy and got back to the fort? |
39061 | Had Samba escaped? |
39061 | Had he fallen into the enemy''s hands? |
39061 | Had he to contend with a regular officer of the State as well as an official of the Concession? |
39061 | Had his movement been detected? |
39061 | Had his ruse succeeded? |
39061 | Had news of the storming of the camp been carried, he wondered, by fugitives to the flotilla? |
39061 | Had not he, Mirambo, seen Bula Matadi, the friend of the black man? |
39061 | Had not many of them tried in vain to discover the secret which Samba would be forced to betray? |
39061 | Had not the Arabs of the Soudan shown this? |
39061 | Had the enemy taken advantage of the sudden flood to organize an attack in force? |
39061 | Had the white men no fathers? |
39061 | Has Mutela arrived?" |
39061 | Has he not made big puddle in massa''s canoe? |
39061 | Have you any food about you, Nando?" |
39061 | He had never heard Pat whine; the dog barked at everything; why had he changed his manner of speech? |
39061 | Here, Nando, are you sure of this?" |
39061 | Him say how massa get him?" |
39061 | How can I rush? |
39061 | How can he help knowing of it? |
39061 | How can we get him into the fort? |
39061 | How can we praise him-- Lokolobolo? |
39061 | How could the negro distinguish? |
39061 | How could they do it? |
39061 | How does it go on? |
39061 | How is the rubber to be paid for?" |
39061 | How long must he remain helpless here, unable to lift a hand in defence of the oppressed? |
39061 | How many huts did it contain? |
39061 | How supply the strangers too? |
39061 | How would he find his uncle? |
39061 | I do n''t want Uncle to fall into Elbel''s hands, but how can I stop it?" |
39061 | I have learn dat your men have rifles; I see dem myself; dey even hold deir rifles at de salute, dey have military training, hein? |
39061 | I shall certainly go; the question is, shall I go armed?" |
39061 | I think I have the pleasure of addressing Monsieur Elbel?" |
39061 | I''ve too little flesh on me bones now; what would I be if I grizzled?" |
39061 | If he could capture the stores, would he not have the main body at his mercy? |
39061 | If that happened, Samba wondered, would he be able to disengage himself from the tangle of branches and swim clear? |
39061 | If the canoe did not meet with disaster from without, why not from within? |
39061 | Ilombekabasi? |
39061 | Is it fire? |
39061 | Is it legal to incite a night attack on peaceable travellers?" |
39061 | Is it legal to shoot and maim the natives as you have been doing for a hundred miles and more along the river? |
39061 | Is it water? |
39061 | Is n''t the cause of the negroes every bit as good as the cause of the Bulgarians or Macedonians or Armenians? |
39061 | Is there any such freedom? |
39061 | It was very foolish, he thought; they were both such good fellows: it was quite clear that they ought to be friends; but what was a dog to do? |
39061 | Jack, are you there?" |
39061 | Lepoko fink bofe make two holes-- how can do uvver way?" |
39061 | Lokolobolo had brought water into their camp; but who had made water run in a swift river where no river had ever been before? |
39061 | May I make you a proposal? |
39061 | Monsieur Elbel summoned us----""Where is Monsieur Elbel, monsieur?" |
39061 | Mr. Arlington, you are no longer a member of Parliament, I believe?" |
39061 | Mr. Martindale-- I zink dat is de name-- have found de gold he sought?" |
39061 | Muss see; s''pose he go fetch bad man and shoot massa? |
39061 | Nando go to Boma with old massa; what den? |
39061 | Nando, when shall we get to this Banonga we''ve heard so much about?" |
39061 | Nando, where''s Samba?" |
39061 | Nando?" |
39061 | No father and mother!--Barnard said there was gold; why ca n''t he find it?--No, that''s not a nugget, that''s---- Only a dog, eh? |
39061 | No mercy had been shown to them: why should they show mercy? |
39061 | Now Mr. Nando, would you plase tell us if you ate a big supper uv maniac last night?" |
39061 | Now, Jack, ready? |
39061 | Of what good are knives against guns? |
39061 | On the way the shouts of the paddlers became more coherent; what was this they were saying? |
39061 | Only a few escaped-- they wander in the forest, who knows where? |
39061 | Only wan thing, sorr; ye would not have any inshuperable objection to Pat, sorr?" |
39061 | Or perhaps his eyes had deceived him? |
39061 | Or say, Jack, d''you think we are being watched?" |
39061 | Or would they be so much alarmed that nothing but flight would occur to them? |
39061 | Ought he in any case to leave the fort? |
39061 | Ought he to think of it? |
39061 | Rubber and parrots; what next, I wonder? |
39061 | Samba hab got Nando him knife: what for Nando no hab nuffin at all?" |
39061 | Savvy?" |
39061 | See?" |
39061 | Shall I fish for that nugget?" |
39061 | Shall we go and get some hippo meat? |
39061 | Shall we join hands in this? |
39061 | She gave me a screech and went black in the face, an''sure''twas for the same fun I''m here this blessed minute?'' |
39061 | Should he let them loose, to work their will upon their oppressors? |
39061 | Should he risk all, spring overboard, and swim for the bank? |
39061 | Should he take him? |
39061 | So it had happened to other villages: how could he hope that Banonga would be spared? |
39061 | So that when Barney met him as he re- entered the fort, and asked eagerly,"Well, sorr, and did the patient swallow the pill?" |
39061 | Something must be done; yet what? |
39061 | Suppose we shot Elbel? |
39061 | Supposing he failed, what would happen to the hundreds of people who depended on him? |
39061 | Surely, surely, he was not in danger-- he would not die? |
39061 | The huts will not hold half of us; and who are you?" |
39061 | The intruder was alone, and a negro; Why not try to capture him? |
39061 | The other continued--"Well, monsieur, what is the position? |
39061 | The sentries are arranged for the night, eh?" |
39061 | Then a thought occurred to him: Why wait upon chance? |
39061 | There are no cannibals in these days-- eh, Jack?" |
39061 | There''s Elbel himself, do you see? |
39061 | These people were strangers; why should they have better habitations and stronger defences than they themselves? |
39061 | This boat''s rather low down now, but d''you think we could make a bump?" |
39061 | Vat good is de American or de English in de Congo Free State? |
39061 | Ve must not be indiscreet, hein? |
39061 | Was he hurt, he wondered? |
39061 | Was he very ill? |
39061 | Was it a wild beast, he wondered, prowling for food? |
39061 | Was it because Samba was going away? |
39061 | Was it he, Lieutenant Jennaert, who was being called upon to surrender? |
39061 | Was it possible that the crocodile, though wounded, was still following? |
39061 | Was it possible to cut off the main body from its stores? |
39061 | Was not his place at the fort, at Ilombekabasi, with Barney and Imbono and Mboyo, the people for and with whom he had already toiled and fought? |
39061 | Was the fort, indeed, still there? |
39061 | Was there much forest about it? |
39061 | Was there not enough of it and to spare in the forest? |
39061 | Was this the Captain Van Vorst, he wondered, who, Elbel had told him, was coming up the river? |
39061 | Was this the end of the bright young life, so full of promise? |
39061 | Was this villain to remain unpunished? |
39061 | Was this, apparently his only opportunity, to be lost? |
39061 | We''ll aim at the nearest, as you say; are you ready?" |
39061 | Well, it does n''t raise my opinion of Mr. Elbel; you know a man by the company he keeps, eh?" |
39061 | Well, that''s settled, eh? |
39061 | Well, what does it mean when they return? |
39061 | Were not the drumsticks in his village made of_ botofé_? |
39061 | Were these atrocities going on throughout the Congo Free State? |
39061 | Were they indeed a part of the system of government? |
39061 | What about your bet, eh, Jack?" |
39061 | What about your wound?" |
39061 | What am I to do with the boy, supposing he gets better? |
39061 | What can he do?" |
39061 | What can we do for him, Barney?" |
39061 | What can we do with him? |
39061 | What can we do with him?" |
39061 | What can we do? |
39061 | What cared they if several of their number fell before the tyrants''rifles? |
39061 | What chance was there of fulfilling his uncle''s wishes there? |
39061 | What could have happened? |
39061 | What could he do? |
39061 | What could it be? |
39061 | What d''ye think that little varmint has done now?" |
39061 | What de good of anyfink? |
39061 | What did he try to write?" |
39061 | What did they see? |
39061 | What do you say, Dathan? |
39061 | What do you suggest?" |
39061 | What do you think of this? |
39061 | What do you think, Jack?" |
39061 | What does he want now?" |
39061 | What does the white man mean by talking to us? |
39061 | What else could have delayed him? |
39061 | What else is there inflammable?" |
39061 | What for black boy go walk alone? |
39061 | What for two speak Inglesa one time? |
39061 | What for? |
39061 | What for? |
39061 | What for? |
39061 | What for? |
39061 | What for? |
39061 | What for? |
39061 | What had become of the boy? |
39061 | What had startled them? |
39061 | What has happened? |
39061 | What has he to gain by routing the little band behind? |
39061 | What hope was there of his parents''rescue now? |
39061 | What if the man''s assurances were false, and there had never been any intention of seeking his father? |
39061 | What is he doing here?" |
39061 | What is it about wicked doers? |
39061 | What is that? |
39061 | What is the good of you? |
39061 | What of the natives who for so many months had looked to him for guidance and leadership? |
39061 | What on earth can we do? |
39061 | What other course was open to him? |
39061 | What was Barney doing? |
39061 | What was Barney doing? |
39061 | What was he doing? |
39061 | What was it called? |
39061 | What was this? |
39061 | What were his chances? |
39061 | What would be its effect on the enemy? |
39061 | What would be the fate of the poor people committed to his charge? |
39061 | What would happen to them? |
39061 | What would happen to uncle''s mining venture? |
39061 | What would have happened if ye had got knocked on the head in that sortie uv yours? |
39061 | What would he do when morning came and yet the absent had not returned? |
39061 | What would they do, asked Jack, when the enemy came back? |
39061 | What''ll we do to get ready for him, sorr?" |
39061 | What''s that? |
39061 | What''s that?" |
39061 | What''s the good of firing when you ca n''t take aim? |
39061 | What''s the meaning of it? |
39061 | What''s this? |
39061 | Where does Leopold get his dollars from? |
39061 | Where indeed? |
39061 | Where is he now, Sad Elobela? |
39061 | Where is your fire now? |
39061 | Where was his village? |
39061 | Where was that bright twinkling eye that looked so shrewdly out from beneath a shaggy brow? |
39061 | Where would the white man''s authority be if this kind of thing were permitted? |
39061 | Where''s Nando?" |
39061 | Who are you?" |
39061 | Who had fired that shot which had so shaken Monsieur Elbel''s hand? |
39061 | Who is Lokolobolo?" |
39061 | Who pays for the estates he is buying, the palace he is building, the fine public works he is presenting to Belgium? |
39061 | Who saved Imbono? |
39061 | Who so hospitable as the men of Banonga? |
39061 | Who was its chief? |
39061 | Whom do we praise? |
39061 | Why did not his uncle return? |
39061 | Why do we laugh? |
39061 | Why do we laugh? |
39061 | Why do we sing? |
39061 | Why do we sing? |
39061 | Why not make his own opportunity? |
39061 | Why not turn their knowledge to good account? |
39061 | Why not use it as a raft to carry him on his way? |
39061 | Why not? |
39061 | Why on earth could not he let Nando come and do the translating?" |
39061 | Why should he go to Boma? |
39061 | Why should not he do the same? |
39061 | Why should we stay to be killed like that? |
39061 | Why was I such a fool? |
39061 | Why was he delaying? |
39061 | Why was the world so sad to- day? |
39061 | Why were they permitted to remain in Imbono''s country at all? |
39061 | Why, me hab got wife in Ilombekabasi; what for leabe wife? |
39061 | Why, sorr, whin ye knocked him down the other day, why did n''t he stand up fair and square and have it out wid ye? |
39061 | Why? |
39061 | Will I niver get a chance at all?" |
