| 25947 | Has any one seen him this morning? |
| 25947 | Has he received no letter? |
| 25947 | He tried to shoot you? |
| 25947 | He wept? |
| 25947 | He? 25947 How are you feeling to- day?" |
| 25947 | How can I be impudent, though, when you are so polite to me? |
| 25947 | How dared she speak like that? |
| 25947 | How do you do, Karl? |
| 25947 | How do you do? |
| 25947 | How do you know I want a new gown? |
| 25947 | How do you know it? |
| 25947 | How do you know that? |
| 25947 | How? 25947 How?" |
| 25947 | I left a letter lying here on the table; did you, perhaps, pick it up? |
| 25947 | I never want to see him again, because----"Because you love him? |
| 25947 | I sad? 25947 I wonder what it will be like there?" |
| 25947 | I wonder why? |
| 25947 | Is Mr. Karl at home? |
| 25947 | Is he with your master? |
| 25947 | Is she dressing? |
| 25947 | Is there a mirror in your studio? |
| 25947 | Is this never to finish? |
| 25947 | Is your master up? |
| 25947 | It is finished forever? |
| 25947 | It was wrong, and now we realize it, do n''t we? 25947 Karl, will you help me off with my cloak?" |
| 25947 | Karl-- and what did he say? |
| 25947 | Letter? |
| 25947 | Look here, Karl, do you think you are wise to be a fool? |
| 25947 | Madam is waiting for the artist? |
| 25947 | Madam, you did n''t really? |
| 25947 | Monsieur? |
| 25947 | Must I think and speak as you wish? |
| 25947 | No; where is it? 25947 Oh, did you?" |
| 25947 | Oh, how could you? |
| 25947 | Oh, is n''t that good for us? |
| 25947 | Oh, is this life really a serious matter? |
| 25947 | Oh, what of it? |
| 25947 | Oh, you are divorced? |
| 25947 | Pardon for what? |
| 25947 | Perhaps you know my nickname-- Saucy Elsa? |
| 25947 | Ran away? 25947 Shall I tell Dr. Millar you are here?" |
| 25947 | Shall we end the conversation, then? |
| 25947 | Shall we leave now? |
| 25947 | Should I listen to all this? |
| 25947 | That cloak is lined with fur, is n''t it? |
| 25947 | That? 25947 The weather; is n''t it snowing beautifully? |
| 25947 | Then how can we make him tell us? |
| 25947 | Then what has happened? |
| 25947 | Then you did not come as a model to- day? |
| 25947 | Then you do love me, Karl? 25947 Think of it-- this man dared to----""How long has your husband been dead?" |
| 25947 | Was I mistaken? 25947 Was he fond of you?" |
| 25947 | Well, I----"What of her husband? |
| 25947 | Well, Karl, how are you getting along with Elsa? |
| 25947 | Well, children, where is the picture? 25947 Well, now you understand, why do you not take it off?" |
| 25947 | Well? |
| 25947 | What are you doing here? 25947 What are you going to do now?" |
| 25947 | What are you talking about? |
| 25947 | What can that be? |
| 25947 | What did he say? |
| 25947 | What did you tell him about my cloak? |
| 25947 | What do you mean, Karl? |
| 25947 | What do you mean? 25947 What do you mean?" |
| 25947 | What do you mean? |
| 25947 | What do you want? 25947 What does short on wheat mean?" |
| 25947 | What for? |
| 25947 | What have I written? |
| 25947 | What have you been doing all this time? |
| 25947 | What is it? |
| 25947 | What is it? |
| 25947 | What is not true? |
| 25947 | What is that? |
| 25947 | What is the matter with me? |
| 25947 | What is the matter? |
| 25947 | What is this-- a conspiracy? |
| 25947 | What letter, dear heart? |
| 25947 | What shall I do first? |
| 25947 | What shall I do? |
| 25947 | What strange influence do you possess that compels me to obey your will? 25947 What time is it?" |
| 25947 | What was it? |
| 25947 | What''s that? |
| 25947 | When you made the wager? |
| 25947 | Where in the devil have you heard all of this? |
| 25947 | Where? |
| 25947 | Who are you? 25947 Who is that terribly rude person who seems to be frightening every one?" |
| 25947 | Who is this man? |
| 25947 | Who rang? |
| 25947 | Who was that? |
| 25947 | Who? |
| 25947 | Who? |
| 25947 | Who? |
| 25947 | Who? |
| 25947 | Whose picture is that? |
| 25947 | Why are you not in the ballroom? |
| 25947 | Why are you sad, Karl? |
| 25947 | Why did you come here? |
| 25947 | Why did you play that evil trick on me to- night? |
| 25947 | Why did you stop him? |
| 25947 | Why do you hover over me? 25947 Why do you look around, then?" |
| 25947 | Why do you stand there? 25947 Why do you tell me that?" |
| 25947 | Why not? 25947 Why not? |
| 25947 | Why not? |
| 25947 | Why not? |
| 25947 | Why not? |
| 25947 | Why, how do you do? |
| 25947 | Why, you dull, young artist? 25947 Why? |
| 25947 | Why? |
| 25947 | Why? |
| 25947 | Why? |
| 25947 | Will you help me off with it, Herman? |
| 25947 | With me, I mean? |
| 25947 | With whom did you make such a wager? |
| 25947 | Wo n''t you drop the subject? |
| 25947 | Wo n''t you have some cognac before you go out? 25947 Wo n''t you please stay?" |
| 25947 | Wo n''t you sit down? |
| 25947 | Yes; do you dislike it? |
| 25947 | Yes; what is it to you? |
| 25947 | You are glad? |
| 25947 | You are not afraid of me, are you? |
| 25947 | You are not going to listen at key- holes? |
| 25947 | You are not jealous? |
| 25947 | You are the lady who wished to see me at once? |
| 25947 | You did not tell him----"What? |
| 25947 | You do n''t mean to protect her from me? |
| 25947 | You do n''t possess so many weapons as a married woman who knows love already-- who-- may I say something improper? |
| 25947 | You do n''t think he is really jealous? |
| 25947 | You do, eh? |
| 25947 | You wish to see the artist? |
| 25947 | Your views seem against marriage; why? |
| 25947 | Yours? |
| 25947 | ''Where is the picture? |
| 25947 | Am I not invited?" |
| 25947 | Am I right, Karl?" |
| 25947 | Am I right?" |
| 25947 | And just now, a moment before you came, we agreed----""So it was she?" |
| 25947 | Are n''t you coming?" |
| 25947 | Are you Karl''s secretary?" |
| 25947 | Are you worried?" |
| 25947 | Art; are you preparing anything for the spring exhibition at the Royal Academy?" |
| 25947 | Bewildered, Karl cried out:"What does all this talk mean? |
| 25947 | But do you not see, madam, that it would be an admission on your part?" |
| 25947 | But why is Karl so sad amid all this merry- making?" |
| 25947 | Do I make myself clear? |
| 25947 | Do n''t you feel warm?" |
| 25947 | Do n''t you want to speak to her?" |
| 25947 | Do you hear? |
| 25947 | Do you know where Karl''s heart is?" |
| 25947 | Do you understand? |
| 25947 | Do you understand? |
| 25947 | Do you understand? |
| 25947 | Do you want her to be loyal to that big boor of a husband when she loves you?" |
| 25947 | Do you want to know why?" |
| 25947 | From whom shall I learn?" |
| 25947 | Has he such a sharp tongue or an evil mind? |
| 25947 | Have you such a cloak now?" |
| 25947 | He pointed his finger at her accusingly, and cried:"Why are you wearing that cloak in the house?" |
| 25947 | He was more amazed when the man cried out in the voice of genial comradeship:"Hello, Karl; how do you do?" |
| 25947 | He wheeled in his seat and looked at the visitor, who went on with perfect coolness:"How do I know? |
| 25947 | How do you know I am not nude beneath this cloak?" |
| 25947 | I picked it up, saying to myself, as I turned the gold piece over in my hand,''I wonder when you got there?'' |
| 25947 | If a man wants to have another sweetheart, what can we do? |
| 25947 | If not to- day, perhaps to- morrow?" |
| 25947 | In Chapter IX, quotation marks were removed in front of"Do n''t you want to speak to her?" |
| 25947 | Is it not so?" |
| 25947 | Is n''t it rather warm for that, dear?" |
| 25947 | Is that fair?" |
| 25947 | Karl cried roughly:"And did you succeed?" |
| 25947 | Looking at Karl, he said:"Why did n''t you stay at home? |
| 25947 | Madam Hofmann clinging to her husband''s arm as if she were begging him to protect her----""Protect her?" |
| 25947 | May I see him?" |
| 25947 | Millar smiled his cynical, sinister smile and answered:"Afraid? |
| 25947 | Millar stood erect, without changing his expression of ironical amusement, and said:"Do you wish to offend me?" |
| 25947 | Mimi looked at him and waited, but as he did not speak, she ventured timidly:"Are n''t you going to paint me to- day?" |
| 25947 | Now that the situation is forced upon us, why not be honest? |
| 25947 | Oh, Karl, ca n''t we postpone this? |
| 25947 | Olga exclaimed;"when everything can depend upon one''s getting here a few moments before or a few minutes after 3 o''clock?" |
| 25947 | Olga gasped,"If I had understood----""If you had understood, would you have taken off the cloak?" |
| 25947 | She looked away as Karl approached her and said tenderly:"Are you afraid? |
| 25947 | Tell me, did you see Dr. Millar give a letter to your master?" |
| 25947 | That I am in love with Karl? |
| 25947 | The poet sings his greatest song when he is about to die, and is a poor, weak, human mortal to live without wine and song and women''s lips? |
| 25947 | The servant went out and he continued to Elsa:"I know the reason of this marriage, but you-- you do n''t know the reason, or----""Or what?" |
| 25947 | Then Mimi said:"Is madam to have her portrait painted?" |
| 25947 | Then she asked, without looking at Millar, and her voice was dry with pain:"Did-- did Karl read the letter?" |
| 25947 | Then she whispered shyly:"Did my letter surprise you?" |
| 25947 | To think he believed me capable of----""Of what?" |
| 25947 | Turning to Herman he asked:"By the way, have you seen the sketch of madam Karl made yesterday? |
| 25947 | Was not a letter delivered to you this morning?" |
| 25947 | We are n''t in love any more, are we, Karl?" |
| 25947 | What am I confessing here to myself? |
| 25947 | What do I care what sort of a girl she is? |
| 25947 | What do you want? |
| 25947 | What does she want?" |
| 25947 | What in the world were you talking about all that time?" |
| 25947 | What may I do for you, madam?" |
| 25947 | What mischief? |
| 25947 | What shall I do?" |
| 25947 | What time is it?" |
| 25947 | What time shall I return for Olga?" |
| 25947 | What will become of me?" |
| 25947 | Where do you come from?" |
| 25947 | Where does he come from? |
| 25947 | Who is in it? |
| 25947 | Who is there? |
| 25947 | Who sent you?" |
| 25947 | Who should know better than he the confession which she had written and which was now destroyed? |
| 25947 | Who was that? |
| 25947 | Who was this man, this personification of evil? |
| 25947 | Why did you come here?" |
| 25947 | Why should I be afraid of a moralizing, joyless bridegroom?" |
| 25947 | Why should I be gay? |
| 25947 | Why should he say that? |
| 25947 | Why should it not be a matter of course?" |
| 25947 | Why should she run away?" |
| 25947 | Why should you drink to- night?" |
| 25947 | Why, he must have fallen in love with----""Do n''t you think it silly to shoot a friend on account of a woman?" |
| 25947 | Will you permit me to acquaint him of the pleasure that awaits him?" |
| 25947 | With flaming face and a voice that shook with anger, he cried:"Are n''t you two afraid of me?" |
| 25947 | You are coming to the ball to- night, Karl? |
| 25947 | You have made me reveal all that is evil in me to the woman----""To the woman you love?" |
| 25947 | You know you really are the guest of honor; is n''t he, Olga?" |
| 25947 | You were fond of him and can speak like that?" |
| 25947 | am I too late? |

| 46185 | [_ Rises._ But"What''s the time?" |
| 46185 | [_ She goes to him above table at head of couch, takes his head in her hands._ Do n''t you_ like_ me? |
| 46185 | [_ Silence._ DEVIL What''s the matter? |
| 46185 | [_ Silence._ OLGA Did you understand my husband just now? |
| 46185 | [_ Speaking to OLGA:_ You go home with your husband, and he does n''t speak-- and if you ask him:"Why do n''t you say something?" |
| 46185 | [_ Takes mirror.__ What_ am I to do? |
| 46185 | [_ The two girls look at each other in silence--- for what seems like a minute._ ELSA Mimi, who is that man? |
| 46185 | [_ The_ DEVIL_ goes to big chair and kneels on it L._ DEVIL So you do love your husband? |
| 46185 | [_ The_ DEVIL_ looks into her eyes._ ELSA,_ proudly_ Now tell me, can I or can I not choose the man I will marry? |
| 46185 | [_ Throws himself face down on couch._ What do you want? |
| 46185 | [_ To_ DEVIL,_ whispers_: Is that better? |
| 46185 | [_ To_ HEINRICH,_ reluctantly_ Did you see Dr. Miller give a letter to your master? |

| 46185 | [_ Uncomfortable silence._ DEVIL You seem annoyed-- KARL,_ comes back C., as if in a mood to quarrel_ Do you want to know why? |
| 46185 | _ He_--is-- in-- there? |
| 46185 | _ They come down the steps._ OLGA Had n''t we better leave the young couple alone? |
| 46185 | one must wait until another train comes ELSA You loved him and can speak like that? |
| 46185 | or the day after tomorrow? |
| 46185 | under some strange-- ELSA Influence? |
| 31053 | ''twas the Devil to be sure, it could be nobody else? |
| 31053 | After we were come home, I ask''d him what he meant by all this, and what he thought of it? |
| 31053 | Am I to be crush''d, and be no more the firstborn Son on Earth, but bow and kneel to him? |
| 31053 | And how at first didst thou come there? |
| 31053 | And how was poor_ Aaron_ bewilder''d in it too? |
| 31053 | And what is at the Bottom of it, while one Eye is upon the Prayer- book, and the other adjusting their Dress? |
| 31053 | And what''s next, says he, when shall I see the Lady for whose sake I have done all this? |
| 31053 | Are they not sacrificing to_ Venus_ and_ Mercury_, nay, and the very_ Devil_ they dress at? |
| 31053 | Art thou a steam from some contagious damp exhal''d? |
| 31053 | Ay, Madam,_ says I_, as sure as ever you did your self; besides, said I, can you question that? |
| 31053 | Besides, what had the_ Devil_ to do to detect Thieves, and restore stollen Goods? |
| 31053 | But since the fatal Truth we know, Without the matter whence or manner how: Thou high superlative of Sin, Tell us thy nature, where thou didst begin? |
| 31053 | But suppose the passage to be nine Days, according to Mr._ Milton_, what follow''d? |
| 31053 | But what to me is more wonderful, and which, I think, will be very ill accounted for, is, how came seeds of crime to rise in the Angelic Nature? |
| 31053 | But who are those Saints? |
| 31053 | But who is he? |
| 31053 | Could he have agitated the Parties on both Sides, and inflam''d the Spirits of three Nations, if he had appears in his own Dress, a meer naked DEVIL? |
| 31053 | D-- m ye, Sir, says the D----, then I shall go_ no where_; I wonder where you intend to go? |
| 31053 | Do not the Sons of God make Assignations with the Daughters of Men in the very House of Worship? |
| 31053 | Do they not talk to them in the Language of the Eyes? |
| 31053 | For example, What if he has had any concern in the late affair of_ Thorn_? |
| 31053 | From what dark state? |
| 31053 | From what strange uncreated race? |
| 31053 | Had it been possible for him to have raised the Flames of Rebellion and War so often in this Nation, as he certainly has done? |
| 31053 | He tells you_ Adam_ hung back a little at first, and trembl''d,_ afraid to trespass_:_ What ails the_ SOT, says the new Termagant? |
| 31053 | Hence also we find_ Ahaziah_ the King of_ Israel_ sent to_ Baalzebub_ the God of_ Ekron_, to enquire whether he should live or die? |
| 31053 | How comes this but by the Devil''s putting those Spirits of the Soul into so violent a Ferment, into a Fever? |
| 31053 | How did it consist, that Pride and perfect Holiness should meet in the same Person? |
| 31053 | How didst thou pass the Adamantine Gate; And into Spirit thy self insinuate? |
| 31053 | How does he reach us, which way does he come at the Affections, and which way does he move the Passions? |
| 31053 | How happy is it, that this great Secret comes thus to be discover''d to mankind? |
| 31053 | How many Governments in the World are wholly in his Administration? |
| 31053 | How many have had their Throats cut for their Money, have been murther''d on the Highway, or in their Beds, for the Desire of what they had? |
| 31053 | How should contagion be intail''d, On bright seraphic Spirits, and in a place Where all''s supreme, and Glory fills the Space? |
| 31053 | How sweet her Voice? |
| 31053 | How then did first defilement enter in? |
| 31053 | How weak a thing is it then, for any Man to expect Performance from the_ Devil_? |
| 31053 | I answer that Question by a Question; who would buy him? |
| 31053 | I know,_ says she_, hastily, what d''ye mean by that? |
| 31053 | I then ask''d him what Reason the_ Devil_ could have for it, if his Consent to the Fact in Sleep had not been criminal? |
| 31053 | If it should so fall out, as who can tell But there may be a GOD, a_ Heaven_ and_ Hell_? |
| 31053 | In what Seraphic Orb didst thou arise? |
| 31053 | In what bright form didst thou appear? |
| 31053 | Is not_ your Grace_ a little inconsistent there? |
| 31053 | Is that the best Language you can give your Wife, says my Lady? |
| 31053 | Is there no dealing with him in a Way of human Nature? |
| 31053 | It is also a great Enquiry here, whether the_ Devil_ knows our Thoughts or no? |
| 31053 | Now in order to make our History of him complete, the next Question before us is, how, and in what manner he acts with Mankind? |
| 31053 | Now the Ceremony being over, he ask''d the Witch if the Business was done? |
| 31053 | Now the great Enquiry before us is, How comes the DEVIL to a Parley with us? |
| 31053 | O, Madam, says I, do n''t say,_ Am I?_ why you know what you are, do n''t you? |
| 31053 | O, Madam, says I, do n''t say,_ Am I?_ why you know what you are, do n''t you? |
| 31053 | Pray who am I talking to now? |
| 31053 | Pride swells the Passions; Avarice moves the Affections; and what is Pride, and what is Avarice, but the_ Devil_ in the Inside of the Man? |
| 31053 | Satisfied of what? |
| 31053 | Sir, do not say so, has not God bless''d you? |
| 31053 | St._ Francis_, they tell us, or some other Saint, they do not say who, ask''d the_ Devil_ once, how strong he was? |
| 31053 | Sure there was once a time when thou wert not, By whom wast thou created? |
| 31053 | Tell us, sly penetrating Crime, How cam''st thou there, thou fault sublime? |
| 31053 | That he alone should stand at a Stay, and be just the same unimprov''d Devil that he was before? |
| 31053 | This brings me most naturally to the important Enquiry, whether the_ Devil_ can walk about the World invisibly or no? |
| 31053 | This must be the_ Old Gentleman_, emblematically so called, or who must it be? |
| 31053 | Thou Life of Death, how cam''st thou there? |
| 31053 | Two Witnesses will convict a Murtherer, why not a Traitor? |
| 31053 | Unarm''d, you''ll say, what Arms should I take? |
| 31053 | Very well,_ said I_, then you would be rude to_ God a Mighty_, because you could not be rude to the Devil? |
| 31053 | Very well,_ says she_, suppose you can, what''s that to me? |
| 31053 | Very well; so,_ says she_, I am a real frightful_ Devil_, am I? |
| 31053 | Wast thou a Substance, or an airy Ghost, A Vapour flying in the fluid waste Of unconcocted air? |
| 31053 | We are not arriv''d to a certainty yet, in the settling this great Point, namely, what Magick is? |
| 31053 | Well, but may not the_ Devil_ be fought with some of his own Weapons? |
| 31053 | Well, but says he, have I sold my Soul to the Devil? |
| 31053 | What Jesting, what Scorn, what Contempt did this Work expose the good old Man to for above a 100 Years? |
| 31053 | What Weapons can a Man take to fight the_ Devil_? |
| 31053 | What abundant Use did that Prince of Dissemblers,_ Charles_ V. make of this Foot? |
| 31053 | What ails you? |
| 31053 | What is our Language when we look back with Reflection and Reproach on past Follies? |
| 31053 | What need we put it upon him, seeing his confederates the_ Jesuites_ with the_ Assessorial_ tribunal of_ Poland_ take it upon themselves? |
| 31053 | What reason can there be that we, who have capacious souls, able to receive knowledge, should have it withheld? |
| 31053 | What would this publick Appearance have signified? |
| 31053 | What,_ said I_, could not you help bowing when you were saying your Prayers? |
| 31053 | What,_ says I_, rude to who? |
| 31053 | Whence can all this come? |
| 31053 | Where do his Devotees gratulate one another, and congratulate him, more than at Church? |
| 31053 | Where was thy ancient habitation found Before void Chaos heard the forming sound? |
| 31053 | Whether he did not think the_ Devil_ had the chief Hand in such a Dream? |
| 31053 | Who would have entertain''d him in his own proper Shape and Person? |
| 31053 | Why do n''t you cut the poor Man down? |
| 31053 | Why that''s true,_ said he_, but what can we do? |
| 31053 | Will any Man offer to scandalize the_ Devil_ so much as to say, or so much as to suggest that_ Satan_ had no Hand in it all? |
| 31053 | With that I took it a little away; Do n''t you? |
| 31053 | _ Ahab_ sold himself, who did he sell himself to? |
| 31053 | _ Appearing Form!_ says she, why, what would you make an_ Apparition_ of me? |
| 31053 | _ Cain._ And is it then my Sovereign Parent''s Will? |
| 31053 | _ Cain._ Did you in humble Language represent the Griefs and Anguish which oppress my Soul? |
| 31053 | _ Cain._ Did you my solemn Message too deliver, my Injuries impartially lay down, and due Assistance and Direction crave? |
| 31053 | _ Cain._ Did you, together with my grand Request, a just, a humble Homage for me pay, to the great Sire and Mother of Mankind? |
| 31053 | _ Cain._ I hope with humblest Signs of filial Duty you took it for me on your bending Knees? |
| 31053 | _ Cain._ To punish? |
| 31053 | _ Cain._ What spoke the Oracle? |
| 31053 | _ D._ And what need your Majesty be concern''d at that, if it be so? |
| 31053 | _ D._ But if you offered them, Sir, how are you sure they were not accepted? |
| 31053 | _ D._ Does he Triumph over your Majesty, our Lord and Sovereign? |
| 31053 | _ D._ No, Sir, that can not be, you can not be disturb''d at such a thing; is not the Right of Sovereignty yours by Primogeniture? |
| 31053 | _ D._ Why, who was your school- master pray? |
| 31053 | _ D._ Why? |
| 31053 | _ D._ Yes Sir, and what then? |
| 31053 | _ D._ You are a critical Dog, who taught you to believe these solemn trifles? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ And how do you know''twas the_ Devil_,_ Thomas_? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ And was it true,_ Thomas_, did you lye with_ Jenny S----_ the night before? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ And was that all you saw? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ And what did you do that for? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ But he bid you repent too, you say? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ But how should the Devil know it,_ Thomas_? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ But was it within doors, or out in the street? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ Did it say any thing else? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ How could you see him then? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ Nay,''twas as wise as all the rest; but come,_ Thomas_, to be a little serious, pray did he speak to you? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ So you saw none of his body, but his eyes and his feet? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ Was it dark or day light when you saw him? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ Well then, you had a candle, had n''t you? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ Well, did you answer? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ Well, if you''re sure,_ Thomas_, there''s no contradicting you; pray what clothes had he on? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ Well, so you say he had fire, but gave no light, it was a devilish fire indeed; did it feel warm? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ What kind of voice was it, was it like a man''s voice? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ Why, if it had really been the Devil, do you think the bed- clothes would have secur''d you from him? |
| 31053 | _ Gent._ Why,_ Thomas_, do you think the Devil would have you repent? |
| 31053 | _ Gent.__ Well_, but why should he be angry at that? |
| 31053 | _ Gr._ And you are to go_ no where_ when you die, are you? |
| 31053 | _ Gr._ But how must I be damn''d, if there''s_ no Devil_? |
| 31053 | _ Gr._ But shall I toss another Poet upon you, my Lord? |
| 31053 | _ Here''s finish''d Hell!_ what fiercer fire_ can burn_? |
| 31053 | _ His pride!_ but how came_ Satan_ while an Arch- angel to be proud? |
| 31053 | _ Tho.__ Why no_, that''s true too, I do n''t know what to say to that; but what could it be? |
| 31053 | _ To him!_ says he, why, was that the_ Devil_? |
| 31053 | _ Whether is most hurtful to the World, the_ Devil_ walking about without his Cloven- Foot, or the Cloven- Foot walking about without the_ Devil? |
| 31053 | _ Whether is most hurtful to the World, the_ Devil_ walking about without his Cloven- Foot, or the Cloven- Foot walking about without the_ Devil? |
| 31053 | _ says she_, and looks rufully at me; why do you talk with the_ Devil_ then? |
| 31053 | _ the Devil he did?_ what you''re going to quote Scripture, are you? |
| 31053 | _ the Devil he did?_ what you''re going to quote Scripture, are you? |
| 31053 | _ what are you afraid of? |
| 31053 | a Lady or a Devil? |
| 31053 | am I commission''d then to punish_ Abel_? |
| 31053 | am I to bear the insulting Junior''s Rage? |
| 31053 | and does he not converse with you Face to Face? |
| 31053 | and does not the Government descend to you by the divine Right of Birth and Blood? |
| 31053 | and for what? |
| 31053 | and what follows? |
| 31053 | and what is his present station and condition? |
| 31053 | and where have we had a Witch of Quality among us, Mother_ Je------gs_ excepted? |
| 31053 | and why does the evil tempting Spirit so often prevail? |
| 31053 | and why not a_ Cloven- Foot_ as well as any other Foot, if he thinks fit? |
| 31053 | and why was there not a Proclamation for apprehending him, as there usually is, after such Rogues as break prison? |
| 31053 | and will Satan do all this for nothing? |
| 31053 | are not you Lord_ Adam_''s eldest Son? |
| 31053 | are not you the Oracle to all your growing Posterity, and next after his Sovereign Imperial Majesty Lord_ Adam_, Patriarch of the World? |
| 31053 | are you not the firstborn Glory of the Creation? |
| 31053 | are you not the second Sovereign of the Earth? |
| 31053 | art thou sure of it,_ Thomas_? |
| 31053 | as also what he can not do, and how far we may or may not be said to be exposed to him, or have or have not reason to be afraid of him? |
| 31053 | can God himself take that away, when''tis once given? |
| 31053 | could that nature contaminate and infect, which was always Drinking in principles of perfection? |
| 31053 | could there be offence where there was no crime? |
| 31053 | could untainted purity breed corruption? |
| 31053 | created in a state of perfect, unspotted holiness? |
| 31053 | did you see by the light of the fire you speak of? |
| 31053 | from Heaven we ca n''t pretend it comes; if we must not say''tis the_ Devil_, whose Door must it lie at? |
| 31053 | from what deep place? |
| 31053 | had you ever seen the_ Devil_ before? |
| 31053 | he''s God to me; what just Command d''ye bring, what''s to be done? |
| 31053 | how Power to deliver from Danger or from Death? |
| 31053 | how came ambition, pride, or envy to generate there? |
| 31053 | how does he converse with our Senses, and with the Understanding? |
| 31053 | how he got hither, into this World? |
| 31053 | how is the Change wrought? |
| 31053 | how many Divans and great Councils under his Direction? |
| 31053 | how was it first found in a place where no unclean thing can enter? |
| 31053 | in what manner he works, and how his instruments are likewise allow''d to work? |
| 31053 | is it not wiser to believe_ no Devil_, than to be always terrify''d at him? |
| 31053 | is n''t it? |
| 31053 | nay, who else could it be? |
| 31053 | or is there something else in it, which none of us or themselves understand? |
| 31053 | say you, did he use the Word, the very Word? |
| 31053 | says she, that I am a Devil? |
| 31053 | take it, you Fool, and eat; do n''t you see how I am exalted in soul by it, and am quite another Creature? |
| 31053 | that he does not accept your Offerings? |
| 31053 | was the room hot while he was in it? |
| 31053 | what Fence against a Flail? |
| 31053 | what did you run away from him? |
| 31053 | what he has done ever since he commenc''d Devil, what he is now doing, and what he may yet do before his last and closer confinement? |
| 31053 | what his present state is, and where and to what part of the creation of God he is limited and restrained? |
| 31053 | what is his State to be? |
| 31053 | what is his original? |
| 31053 | what that business is which he is employ''d about? |
| 31053 | what the liberties are he takes or is allow''d to take? |
| 31053 | whence came he? |
| 31053 | whether a diabolical Art or a Branch of the Mathematicks? |
| 31053 | whether is he to wander, and in what Condition is he to remain to that Eternity to which he is still to exist? |
| 31053 | whether they are evil Spirits or good? |
| 31053 | which Deliverance would be in itself a Good, and we know it is not in his Nature to do Good to or for any Man? |
| 31053 | who but the Devil can inject Wit in Spight of natural Dullness, create Brains, fill empty Heads, and supply the Vacuities in the Understanding? |
| 31053 | who taught you to say there is a GOD? |
| 31053 | who,_ as we say_, would give any thing for him? |
| 31053 | why do I bless? |
| 31053 | why then it must follow that the Child I go with( for she was big with Child) will be a_ Devil_ too, will it? |
| 31053 | yes, and why? |
| 31053 | yes, yes, in his favour is Life; what can all the World avail without the Smiles and Countenance of him that made it? |
| 51145 | ''And what other, madam, can it have upon a heart like mine?'' 51145 ''And you, Madam,''said Zanubio, turning to Don Garcia,''after what fashion should you treat a youthful cavalier in such a case?'' |
| 51145 | ''What means this silence?'' 51145 ''Why should I affect to hide these feelings from you? |
| 51145 | An old man of good appearance attracts my attention there,said Leandro Perez;"who, and what, is he?" |
| 51145 | And has he really nothing with which to reproach himself, beyond his fatal awkwardness? |
| 51145 | And now, if you would like to behold a somnambulist, look into the stables of this same house: what see you? |
| 51145 | And was he, now,said Don Cleophas,"the man to use his influence for others?" |
| 51145 | And what are they thrashing him for? |
| 51145 | And who is the happy man? |
| 51145 | And who is this lady? |
| 51145 | And who is this unhappy captive? |
| 51145 | And who, then, told you that it was by him I was taken away? |
| 51145 | And why not? |
| 51145 | And why should that annoy you so much? |
| 51145 | And why? |
| 51145 | And you, dearest Leonora,resumed the Count,"what do you say to it? |
| 51145 | Are you Uriel then? |
| 51145 | Are you aware,said Don Luis to him,"that you have been in bed since yesterday morning?" |
| 51145 | Are you joking? |
| 51145 | But if the King has destined you for another,said Don Luis,"how can you dispense----?" |
| 51145 | But where would you have me see the Count? |
| 51145 | But, Madam,said Don Pedro,"will you then yield without resistance to your brother''s will? |
| 51145 | But,he continued, his voice changing as he spoke,"shall I calmly witness your dishonour? |
| 51145 | Doubtless, some work on morals or theology? |
| 51145 | For whom, then, of all the world, is so magnificent an apotheosis intended? |
| 51145 | Has he been long a slave then? |
| 51145 | He is evidently immersed in some grand project,said Zambullo:"who is he? |
| 51145 | How is my soul, always frank and open, to assume such a disguise, and what will be the fruit of so painful a deception? |
| 51145 | How often have you told me, that a virtuous girl should ever shun such secret conversations,--always wrong, and almost always dangerous? |
| 51145 | How, to chance? |
| 51145 | Is it possible,she cried,"that I may hope again to see Valencia, my own dear native land? |
| 51145 | Is it then really so much more difficult to write the one than the other? |
| 51145 | It has been most probably occupied in some amorous adventure? |
| 51145 | Need I say, Don Juan, that all their efforts to divert my grief add but to its intensity, and that nothing can console me? 51145 Of course then,"said Leandro,"he is a person of distinction?" |
| 51145 | Of what great personage, then, does it contain the ashes? |
| 51145 | Perchance,said Don Cleophas,"you are the renowned Lucifer?" |
| 51145 | Rather say,replied the Demon,"and you will speak the truth, that his fellows shun all company with him: and what now think you is that poor ghost? |
| 51145 | Stay, my father,said he;"moderate, I entreat you, the fury of your wrath: what are you about to do?" |
| 51145 | Tell me,said the Student,"who is that lovely woman at her toilet, talking with that handsome cavalier?" |
| 51145 | That devil and you then,said the Scholar,"are not good friends?" |
| 51145 | The husband of course is French? |
| 51145 | This Payen is undoubtedly a tavern- keeper? |
| 51145 | Well, perhaps you are Beelzebub? |
| 51145 | What ails you, child? |
| 51145 | What am I to infer from the confusion which my proposition to you has occasioned? 51145 What can have disgusted you with your native land, and caused you to look with hate on that which all men love so fondly?" |
| 51145 | What ceremony can call so many good folks together? |
| 51145 | What do I behold? |
| 51145 | What do I hear,cried Don Cleophas;"are you the famed Asmodeus, of whom such honourable mention is made by Agrippa and in the Clavicula Salamonis? |
| 51145 | What do I hear? |
| 51145 | What do I hear? |
| 51145 | What do you mean by her register? |
| 51145 | What have I done? |
| 51145 | What if your friend does find out that you are''missing?'' |
| 51145 | What is your opinion, discreet Marcella? |
| 51145 | What on earth is the matter with him, then? |
| 51145 | What say you, dear Marcella? |
| 51145 | What say you? |
| 51145 | What see I in the street? |
| 51145 | Whence this astonishment? |
| 51145 | Where could you see him so safely? 51145 Who is that woman loaded with saintly medals, who walks, preceded by a footman, in such anxious haste? |
| 51145 | Who is the little man descending from his carriage at the door of that church? |
| 51145 | Why then,returned Don Pedro,"seem you to care so little for a marriage which does you so much honour? |
| 51145 | You are really too polite,replied the Devil;"but can you guess now why I have brought you here? |
| 51145 | You are then a spirit? |
| 51145 | You have perhaps had some other squabble with this gentleman? |
| 51145 | You would be hardly matched,replied the Demon;--"what were one among so many? |
| 51145 | Zanubio had no sooner gone out than Don Garcia, throwing himself at Aurora''s feet, exclaimed:''Ah, madam, how can you delight thus to perplex me? 51145 ''And the happiness of Donna Theodora,''said Don Fabricio,''shall that then count for nothing? 51145 ''And what reasons, then, can he have for flying me?'' 51145 ''And what, then, do you think I can do with so much money?'' 51145 ''And who, then,''asked Stephani,''was the willing instrument through which you exchanged your communications?'' 51145 ''And you, madam,''said the man of law, addressing the single lady in her turn,''may I ask your age also?'' 51145 ''Can you doubt it?'' 51145 ''Do you think, then, that you will find one worse off than I am?'' 51145 ''Great God,''he cried, transported with delight,''what do I hear? 51145 ''If you are sincere,''said I to him,''why do you not at once apply to Don Luis, her father?'' 51145 ''Ladies, it is for you to choose;--what would you prefer?'' 51145 ''Ladies,''said he, accosting them,''can I be of service to you? 51145 ''My dear friend,''said he, on leaving Floretta,''what is your opinion of the steps I should take in this matter? 51145 ''Of what do you complain? 51145 ''Signor Sanguisuela,''said he,''can you not oblige me with the loan of a thousand ducats?'' 51145 ''To return to the lady without that which she requires is impossible;--and must I, then, abandon so promising an adventure? 51145 ''What ails you then, Madam?'' 51145 ''What ails you?'' 51145 ''What do you mean by following your example?'' 51145 ''What may that be?'' 51145 ''What then is his object?'' 51145 ''What would you like to have, sir?'' 51145 ''What, I wonder, have I done, that I should have been punished by being compelled to listen to the beginning?'' 51145 ''What,''exclaimed Francillo,''is it not time you lived in peace? 51145 ''Where is my wife?'' 51145 ''Who asks me that question?'' 51145 ''Who''s there?'' 51145 ''Would you believe it?'' 51145 ''You must have more money than this,''said he,''for where the devil is the valet- de- chambre who would take you to wife for thirty pistoles?'' 51145 A single copy remained to sell: one of these gentlemen would have it, the other also claimed it; what was to be done? 51145 Alvaro, what news do you bring to me of my lovely captive? 51145 Am I so fortunate as to have an opportunity of serving you? |
| 51145 | And Don Kimen,"added he,"what is become of him? |
| 51145 | And now, will Don Fabricio accuse his friend of ingratitude and perfidy?'' |
| 51145 | And of what do you imagine he is dreaming? |
| 51145 | And what if he deceive himself? |
| 51145 | And what, too, can he who may be successful expect to gain by his victory? |
| 51145 | And why not? |
| 51145 | And you, imprudent Marcella, what have you done? |
| 51145 | Are not my eyes deceived by some fantastic vision?" |
| 51145 | Are you an aristocrat, or a burgess?" |
| 51145 | Are you sure of what you say?" |
| 51145 | As a beginning in the business,''he continued,''what think you I have already done? |
| 51145 | At last, he said to him gravely:''Don Juan, what mean you? |
| 51145 | Besides, to what end would you encounter such a peril? |
| 51145 | Besides, were I willing to deliver yonder prisoner from bondage, how could I effect it?" |
| 51145 | Besides, what have you to fear? |
| 51145 | But is it possible that I can have attracted her attention?'' |
| 51145 | But tell me, dear Asmodeus, what in their lives were those whom these all- breathing marbles represent?" |
| 51145 | But tell me, how happens it that you are on crutches?" |
| 51145 | But what do I say,--all the circumstances? |
| 51145 | But what matters poverty when one is so young,--when our hopes are so vast, our thoughts so powerful and rich? |
| 51145 | But what say I? |
| 51145 | But what, I pray you, had they done, were it a question then of the"DIABLE BOITEUX"illustrated by TONY JOHANNOT? |
| 51145 | But who is this lady that has made such deep impression on your heart?" |
| 51145 | But who knows? |
| 51145 | But, after all, may we not do the Count injustice? |
| 51145 | But, do you conceive it possible to execute the project you conceive?" |
| 51145 | But, do you not deceive me, or are you not deceived yourself? |
| 51145 | But, tell me, are there in other countries widows as generous and women as intriguing?" |
| 51145 | But,"he added a moment afterwards,"my loss, perhaps, is not quite irreparable: why should I despair of seeing the Demon again? |
| 51145 | By what fatal accident is she reduced to this dreadful situation?" |
| 51145 | By what means has he seduced her? |
| 51145 | By what unhappy chance do I find you here? |
| 51145 | Can I doubt that your heart partakes of it? |
| 51145 | Can he hope that, after having staked a lady''s reputation on the quarrel, she will thank him for his folly? |
| 51145 | Can it be possible that I should be so unhappy?" |
| 51145 | Can it be the Donna Theodora whom I see?" |
| 51145 | Can we not find a means, therefore, to communicate to each other that which we mutually want? |
| 51145 | Can you conquer the passion which consumes you, and shall I make no endeavour so to vanquish mine? |
| 51145 | Can you distinguish a lady in a bed with red damask furniture? |
| 51145 | Can your heart, always mistrustful, refuse its assent to my proposal?" |
| 51145 | Could you be cruel enough to expose me to the wrath of an enraged husband?'' |
| 51145 | Could you conceive, to look on him, that you beheld a thunderbolt of war? |
| 51145 | Did you ever hear of a similar caprice? |
| 51145 | Did you fear to disturb my rest? |
| 51145 | Did you not find his sermon extremely forcible? |
| 51145 | Do I force you to take the three hundred and forty ducats? |
| 51145 | Do you assist me in my design? |
| 51145 | Do you intend, or not, to fulfil the promise----?" |
| 51145 | Do you not hear a frightful din in the next street? |
| 51145 | Do you not hear his cries and lamentations? |
| 51145 | Do you not remark a young lady sleeping in a bed of crimson satin, embroidered with gold?" |
| 51145 | Do you notice the mocking style of their salutes? |
| 51145 | Do you observe two young men with an old woman?" |
| 51145 | Do you see those three ill- looking rascals? |
| 51145 | Do you see, in that house opposite to us, a man putting on his cloak, evidently preparing to go out? |
| 51145 | Do you think I should commence with an impassioned and sublime epistle to my Luziana?'' |
| 51145 | Do you think, now, a comic piece less difficult to write than tragedy? |
| 51145 | Does he bestow them in alms? |
| 51145 | Don Juan leaves thee daily for the chase, or to repair to Toledo: would not Love then snatch these happy opportunities with eager joy? |
| 51145 | Don Juan, what have we done that Heaven should thus visit us with its terrible wrath?" |
| 51145 | Don Juan,"ere he had uttered these words, cried the lady he addressed,"is it indeed yourself who speaks to me?" |
| 51145 | Don Juan,"interrupted the widow of Cifuentes,"what dreadful project do you dream of? |
| 51145 | Dost think, child, whom I blush to call mine own, that I know not what has passed? |
| 51145 | Eugenia, the sister of Belflor? |
| 51145 | Has then the honour of my house some blemish of which I am ignorant?" |
| 51145 | Hast thou then cruelty enough to call sweet hopes into my heart, and let the short- lived blisses perish from delay? |
| 51145 | Have I not cause to be alarmed?'' |
| 51145 | Have I not the honour of speaking to the lady Marcella, the chaste widow of the lamented Signor Martin Rosetta?" |
| 51145 | Have I not, a week ago, informed you where to find me?" |
| 51145 | Have you inclined her to listen to my vows? |
| 51145 | Have you your titles of nobility?'' |
| 51145 | How can I sufficiently eulogise the only book truly gay in the French language? |
| 51145 | How can we repay that debt? |
| 51145 | How have you escaped from the frantic passion of Alvaro? |
| 51145 | However, I know your valour, Don Juan: will you accompany me?" |
| 51145 | I am absolutely enchanted by those two kneeling figures-- how exquisitely are they chiselled? |
| 51145 | I am told you have a son, too, who is finishing his studies at Alcala: does he resemble his sister? |
| 51145 | I never trust to words;--actions alone can win me,''--''And what actions, madam, do you ask of me?'' |
| 51145 | If that were so, child, would it be a very great sin to listen to him? |
| 51145 | In taking the life of the Dey, would you restore me to liberty? |
| 51145 | Is he waiting for some pretty waiting- woman to usher him to his lady''s chamber?" |
| 51145 | Is it certain that they would snatch you from the most faithful of lovers? |
| 51145 | Is it not delightful to witness so much tenderness? |
| 51145 | Is it not enough that we should be borne to slavery, and unavenged? |
| 51145 | Is it possible your assurance can fail you now,--you, who have had the daring to look on me? |
| 51145 | Is it possible, that the charming Leonora should be disposed so favourably towards me? |
| 51145 | Is it with fear of these ghostly visitants? |
| 51145 | Is the conquest of a courtezan a glory worth achievement? |
| 51145 | Is the possession of charms common to a whole city worth the peril of a life? |
| 51145 | Is there anything in them so extravagant?" |
| 51145 | Lives there a child, however lost to shame, who can raise his impious hand against a father?" |
| 51145 | Mendoza rushed into the arms of the Toledan, and embracing him, exclaimed:"Must we then separate? |
| 51145 | Mendoza,"cried Don Juan,"what have you done? |
| 51145 | Must we even be denied to bear in union the sorrows to which we are destined? |
| 51145 | Must we, then, my dear Asmodeus, separate for ever?" |
| 51145 | Need I remind you, that when Ajax violated Cassandra in the temple of Pallas, that goddess did not on the instant punish the sacrilegious Greek? |
| 51145 | Need I say how long he has loved you, and how ardently he desires to tell you so? |
| 51145 | On my part, as in duty bound, I will make my kinsman a present of thirty thousand pistoles: is it a bargain?'' |
| 51145 | Ought I not then to repair the injury I have inflicted? |
| 51145 | Patricio,''she said, in a voice which told her affliction;''how can you thus abandon your home? |
| 51145 | Perhaps, however, after all, you remarked something in his person or manner that displeased you?" |
| 51145 | Run your eyes over the rooms: what do you observe?" |
| 51145 | Shall I implore the power of our laws? |
| 51145 | Should he not scruple to break his faith with my daughter, how shall I avenge the insult? |
| 51145 | Should her tenderness for me at all prejudice her virtue? |
| 51145 | Signor Asmodeus,"cried Leandro Perez;"to whom belongs the carriage stopping before that house?" |
| 51145 | Signor Don Pablos, why did you shield me from the vengeance of the law? |
| 51145 | Since you are so gallant as to offer your services, may we trouble you to escort us to some hotel, where we may eat a morsel of something? |
| 51145 | Still, may I not deceive myself? |
| 51145 | Tell me your thoughts, love; you know my affection: does your heart incline towards the Count, or would it be very disagreeable to marry such a man?" |
| 51145 | The Demon then rejoined the Student, who, seeing him return under his former guise, said to him:"Signor Asmodeus, have my eyes deceived me? |
| 51145 | The sermon ended, they left the church together, when the Captain, addressing his companion, said:''Well, what think you of the preacher? |
| 51145 | Then, are you possessed of mediocre talents only? |
| 51145 | Think you that absurd prejudices will induce her to despise that honour?" |
| 51145 | This is a tardy justice, if you will, but it is a justice nevertheless; and besides, of what importance, after all, are these vulgar events? |
| 51145 | To avenge himself, what did Le Sage? |
| 51145 | To what do I owe this happiness? |
| 51145 | To whom did this unlucky house belong, and when was it thus consumed?" |
| 51145 | Vastly pleasant, is it not?" |
| 51145 | Was ever father happier than myself? |
| 51145 | Were you not but now in my shape and figure?" |
| 51145 | What can be said of"Gil Blas"which has not already been written? |
| 51145 | What do I not owe to you, kindest Marcella, for thus relieving me from such torturing suspense? |
| 51145 | What does he with his revenues? |
| 51145 | What dreadful misfortune do these tears, which pierce my heart, forbode?" |
| 51145 | What dreadful misfortune has occurred?" |
| 51145 | What horrible suspicion breaks upon my mind? |
| 51145 | What is the meaning of those sparks of fire which issue from yonder cellar?" |
| 51145 | What lover could resist the temptation thus offered to his eyes? |
| 51145 | What possible objection can you have? |
| 51145 | What shall I do?'' |
| 51145 | What think you of my air and beauty? |
| 51145 | What think you of the Donna Emerenciana?" |
| 51145 | What think you, Don Juan? |
| 51145 | What though, for me, you shunned those fatal eyes, to lead in distant lands a life of woe,--what would it serve me now? |
| 51145 | What will not money do? |
| 51145 | What will they think of me at court? |
| 51145 | Whence arises this unwillingness to accompany me to Donna Theodora?'' |
| 51145 | Where have you been from six this morning, when you left us?'' |
| 51145 | Where have you been until now? |
| 51145 | Which of them is La Chichona?" |
| 51145 | Who knows that he has not been actuated by the purest and most delicate motives? |
| 51145 | Who shall oppose me in so righteous a determination? |
| 51145 | Who would credit it, however? |
| 51145 | Why did I yield them? |
| 51145 | Why did you not let me perish? |
| 51145 | Why has it been concealed? |
| 51145 | Why should I become the victim of their disagreement? |
| 51145 | Will you be dragged to the altar, without complaint? |
| 51145 | Will you go, a willing sacrifice, and abandon me so easily? |
| 51145 | Would one not think thou hadst a hundred pistoles in thy purse, or in thy house? |
| 51145 | You, who know so well that life henceforth must be but one long misery, why have you sought to preserve it?" |
| 51145 | [ Illustration: Belflor climbs up to Leonora''s balcony]"What do I hear?" |
| 51145 | [ Illustration: The page flattering Don Como]"''And who is this lady?'' |
| 51145 | [ Illustration: the magician discovers Asmodeus''s absence]"Why, what''s the matter now?" |
| 51145 | [ Illustration: the miser''s nephews consulting the sorceress]"Where shall we begin? |
| 51145 | _ Inter stultos referatur._""What?" |
| 51145 | a lover to renounce the being he adores, by whom his love is shared, and all lest he should render some poor friend unhappy? |
| 51145 | added he, turning towards the governante;"what think you of this project with which love has so opportunely inspired me?" |
| 51145 | again interrupted the old warrior;''do you expect that Serjeant Hannibal Antonio Quebrantador is going to say that he was frightened? |
| 51145 | all doors are open to you;--are you a man of genius? |
| 51145 | and on what do they found this opinion of themselves?" |
| 51145 | another?" |
| 51145 | ask six hundred and sixty ducats for the loan of three hundred and forty? |
| 51145 | but how?" |
| 51145 | can Religion forbid the preservation of one''s honour?" |
| 51145 | can you conceive that, because I have been so happy as to prevail on you to favour my passion, I should cease to esteem you? |
| 51145 | can you doubt it? |
| 51145 | cried Don Cleophas,"who are those two women in bed together, and laughing so loudly? |
| 51145 | cried Don Luis,"how can I express my satisfaction at the honour you confer upon my son? |
| 51145 | cried Leandro,"is it possible? |
| 51145 | cried Lizana,''is it possible that the barbarous Stephani should not have been contented to exercise his cruelty on me alone? |
| 51145 | cried Marcella in reply;"and why should we leave this poor man so hastily?" |
| 51145 | cried she,"is it possible that you are the cavalier for whom my brother designs me?" |
| 51145 | cried the Scholar,"have you studied the classics?" |
| 51145 | cried the Student in his turn,"is it possible that my incognita is the Count de Belflor''s sister?" |
| 51145 | cried the Student,"who is that personage rubbing his eyes, and rising in such tremendous haste?" |
| 51145 | do you observe this house to my right? |
| 51145 | do you suppose that I would prevent injustice?--that I would snatch the guiltless from destruction? |
| 51145 | est- il un sort plus affreux que le mien? |
| 51145 | exclaimed the Devil--"if there are? |
| 51145 | exclaimed the Student,"were it not better that thousands should be mad, than that they should know themselves for what they are?" |
| 51145 | exclaimed the Student;"what wonderful emotion agitates you thus, and chains your willing tongue?" |
| 51145 | exclaimed the Toledan, approaching the captive,"is it not a vision that deceives mine eyes? |
| 51145 | exclaimed the Toledan, with evident vexation;''why ask you of my friendship what that very feeling should deny you most?'' |
| 51145 | for what object then does he husband his resources? |
| 51145 | he cried, in a transport of fury, which he could not control,"is it thy will that they prevent an union whose innocence is worthy of thy protection? |
| 51145 | he cried;"wretch that I am, what demon has possessed me? |
| 51145 | he exclaimed,"what frightful noises do I hear?" |
| 51145 | he exclaimed,''why is it that the most tender friendship should bring to me nothing but misfortune?'' |
| 51145 | how can you thus neglect your wife-- your children? |
| 51145 | how is this?" |
| 51145 | interrupted the gentle swain:''must I, to prove the excess of my passion, undertake the twelve labours of Hercules?'' |
| 51145 | interrupted the lady sharply,''the law requires nothing of the kind: what matters it to the law what my age may be? |
| 51145 | interrupted the soldier,''what service can you hope from me?'' |
| 51145 | madam,"interrupted Belflor,"what do you ask of me? |
| 51145 | madam,''said he, smiling,''is this the use you make of these pledges of my affection?'' |
| 51145 | my son,"cried the old man,"with what impatience have I expected you: why did you not inform me of your arrival? |
| 51145 | my son,"replied the old man,"can you have any objection to an union with Eugenia de Belflor?" |
| 51145 | not contented with avowing your passion for her whom I adore, must you tell me too that your love is returned? |
| 51145 | not know his own father''s house? |
| 51145 | our friendship? |
| 51145 | repeated Don Luis;"and where did he see my daughter? |
| 51145 | repeated Zambullo,"do you mean to say that you have not the power so to do?" |
| 51145 | replied Domingo;''do you not know the only daughter of general Don Fernando, our neighbour?'' |
| 51145 | replied Don Luis;"are you not within your father''s house? |
| 51145 | resumed the gardener:"on the faith of your word then, I will seek a Catalonian renegade whom I know, and propose to him----""What say you?" |
| 51145 | said Don Cleophas;"what have you done to deserve so much hatred or scorn?" |
| 51145 | said Don Pedro, utterly amazed,"is it you whom I behold? |
| 51145 | said one;"is it possible that interest can blind a man to such an extent as this? |
| 51145 | said the Demon to the Student,"are you content?" |
| 51145 | said the intendant,--''where does she live?'' |
| 51145 | shall not I be with you?" |
| 51145 | she exclaimed, sighing deeply;"wherefore have you drawn me from the happy state in which I was? |
| 51145 | she exclaimed;"how could I possibly enable you to avert an union which the King proposes for you?" |
| 51145 | tell me,"interrupted the Scholar,"what post is assigned to Flagel?" |
| 51145 | that is very perplexing,"said Leandro;"what is a poor sick devil to do?" |
| 51145 | the door opens with difficulty;--but, are you perchance one of those excelling spirits who appear but from century to century? |
| 51145 | was he not worthy of my regret?" |
| 51145 | what does my ecstacy inspire? |
| 51145 | what is that I see?" |
| 51145 | what is that?'' |
| 51145 | what may it be?" |
| 51145 | what think you of these dreams? |
| 51145 | where art thou going? |
| 51145 | wherefore,"said the duenna,"will you insist he loves you not well enough to seek your hand? |
| 51145 | who is in the right, the innkeeper or his accusers?" |
| 51145 | why did you not tell me this in her presence? |
| 51145 | why have you done so?" |
| 51145 | you my rival?'' |
| 51145 | you will say to me,''does he go there simply to pay his devoirs?'' |
| 42665 | ... that you play cards, squander your gold, and that recently some one had been nearly murdered at your table? |
| 42665 | All of them? |
| 42665 | And as such he is in your service? 42665 And begins to reveal to me his love for humanity, while his confidence in his success is equal only to the quantity of the dollars in his pocket? |
| 42665 | And blood? 42665 And can you tell me_ how_ this happens?" |
| 42665 | And do you know, Mr. Wondergood, why I came here, i.e., in addition, of course, to the pleasure I anticipated in making your acquaintance? |
| 42665 | And do you remember, Toppi, whence you have come? |
| 42665 | And does Satan have duties? 42665 And have you ever heard of any one praising it?" |
| 42665 | And how about the interviews? 42665 And how about those who have no means to buy ham?" |
| 42665 | And how are your affairs, Mr. Wondergood? 42665 And is it you,"said I,"who wants to fool it?" |
| 42665 | And murder... many murders? |
| 42665 | And on what particular throne have you your eye, Magnus? |
| 42665 | And so? |
| 42665 | And the Cardinal? |
| 42665 | And what further, Magnus Ergo? |
| 42665 | And what is your aim? 42665 And what then?" |
| 42665 | And who told you that I want to make people happy? 42665 And why should I not come? |
| 42665 | And would you consider it permissible to give me this information? |
| 42665 | And you who have read no books,he said,"do you know what these books are about? |
| 42665 | And... how long? |
| 42665 | But I thought I heard you speak to him? |
| 42665 | But did n''t you know that all their worship of God and all their faith are nothing but sacrilege? 42665 But what can I do, Your Eminence? |
| 42665 | But what does it seek, Your Eminence? |
| 42665 | But where is your country?----"My country?... 42665 But why does he guard and protect it so assiduously?" |
| 42665 | But why only the throne of God? 42665 But you wanted that love?" |
| 42665 | But you_ love_ them? |
| 42665 | Ca n''t you put it briefly? |
| 42665 | Ca n''t you see that it is everywhere? 42665 Can you listen now? |
| 42665 | Cardinal X.? 42665 Did n''t you know, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Did not Cardinal X. tell you I needed money, Mr. Wondergood? 42665 Did the Cardinal really speak of him and ask you to give him money?" |
| 42665 | Do n''t we despise them, Magnus? 42665 Do you call it only madness?" |
| 42665 | Do you hear, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Do you intend to do some work yet, Magnus? |
| 42665 | Do you want wine? 42665 Fleecing people?" |
| 42665 | Hatred? 42665 Have you a swift car, Signor?" |
| 42665 | How do I know what''s to follow? 42665 How do I picture to myself this future?" |
| 42665 | How do I regard it? |
| 42665 | How is Magnus''... daughter? 42665 How is Signorina Maria''s health?" |
| 42665 | I can not know even the fate and future of my own child; how can I foretell the future of such a great country as Russia? 42665 I waited to see whether he would show Maria to the cardinal?" |
| 42665 | Is not the Campagna beautiful in the morning? |
| 42665 | Is that all? |
| 42665 | Is that so? |
| 42665 | Just one correction, Magnus: I earnestly desired that you should take part...."In what? 42665 Lies once more? |
| 42665 | Love for mankind?... 42665 Madonna?" |
| 42665 | Madonna? |
| 42665 | May I continue? |
| 42665 | Neither duties nor obligations? |
| 42665 | Now, now, I know your devotion, but you were asleep at the switch just the same? 42665 Of political liberty? |
| 42665 | Of what did you warn me beforehand, Signor Magnus? |
| 42665 | Oh, but what about the causes, Magnus? |
| 42665 | Oh, you are jesting again? |
| 42665 | On the wall? |
| 42665 | Open? 42665 Perhaps it contains the same thing?" |
| 42665 | Perhaps they do n''t know how to write, my lord? |
| 42665 | Police? |
| 42665 | So? |
| 42665 | Swine? 42665 Terrible? |
| 42665 | The causes? 42665 The old monkey? |
| 42665 | Then it is not good? |
| 42665 | They? 42665 War?" |
| 42665 | Well, I would have fought until I was killed? |
| 42665 | Well, how do you like it? |
| 42665 | Well? |
| 42665 | Well? |
| 42665 | What Cardinal? 42665 What do you care about them? |
| 42665 | What do you consider your own''Life of Man''and''To the Stars''? |
| 42665 | What does it want? 42665 What is this all about?" |
| 42665 | What is this all about? |
| 42665 | What shall I say, Magnus? 42665 What''s the trouble, Signor Magnus?" |
| 42665 | What''s the trouble, Wondergood? 42665 Where are you going? |
| 42665 | Who was that? 42665 Who-- they?" |
| 42665 | Who_ knows_? 42665 Whom are you torturing, Magnus:--me or yourself?" |
| 42665 | Why a pity? |
| 42665 | Why all of them? 42665 Why go, Mr. Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Why? 42665 Why?" |
| 42665 | Will you betray me? |
| 42665 | Will you have some wine, Mr. Toppi? 42665 Will you have some wine, Your Eminence?" |
| 42665 | Will you order money for the king? |
| 42665 | Will you really come? |
| 42665 | With powder? 42665 Would you like wine or an orange? |
| 42665 | Yes, it is Rome,affirmed Toppi, and raised his hand:"do you hear whistling?" |
| 42665 | Yes, three billion dollars, a mighty power, indeed,he agreed, rather unwillingly--"but what will you do with it?" |
| 42665 | Yes, to be sure, what can I do? 42665 Yes? |
| 42665 | Yesterday, you, and to- day, I? |
| 42665 | You are enjoying the Roman Campagna, Mr. Wondergood? 42665 You are not afraid of it? |
| 42665 | You are pleased? |
| 42665 | You remember that I did not desire your acquaintance and expressed it plainly enough? 42665 You remember the point you made in your story about the boy of the_ boundary_ of the human? |
| 42665 | You spoke on one occasion about_ miracles_? |
| 42665 | You? 42665 _ What_ is there incomprehensible about it? |
| 42665 | ( Not at all badly expressed? |
| 42665 | After a pause commensurate with the respect due to the subject, I asked:"And do you know how to make a_ man_ explode?" |
| 42665 | Ah, if Maria were my slave, I would put a rope around her neck and would take her, naked, to the market place: Who will buy? |
| 42665 | Am I penniless?" |
| 42665 | Americans?" |
| 42665 | And I stretched out my hands to Her and pleaded: Give me back my liberty!--"_ Maria!_"Who called: Maria? |
| 42665 | And Magnus, like the skilled healer of souls that he was, said calmly:"Will you have a glass of wine, Your Eminence?" |
| 42665 | And are you, perhaps, one of them, Your Eminence?" |
| 42665 | And do n''t we need a king too?" |
| 42665 | And do n''t you regard the words''freedom''and''death''as synonymous?" |
| 42665 | And do you know how I concluded that evening? |
| 42665 | And do you know that His Eminence has already been to see Signor Magnus? |
| 42665 | And how about the sight? |
| 42665 | And how could I have acknowledged the greetings when I had no cane with me? |
| 42665 | And how do you feel about it, Signor Magnus?" |
| 42665 | And how do you know all about that?" |
| 42665 | And how is the health of Signorina Maria?" |
| 42665 | And is it possible that I have met a_ brother_ on this earth? |
| 42665 | And is it really necessary for_ man_ to remember that? |
| 42665 | And is it true that you delivered some sort of a sermon?" |
| 42665 | And is that not great wisdom?" |
| 42665 | And murder-- do you remember all that drivel about hands steeped in blood?" |
| 42665 | And murmured:"Do you see these hands? |
| 42665 | And now... is it really I who walks on so hastily, playing with the sand of the arena? |
| 42665 | And so I think: where is the boundary? |
| 42665 | And tell me: do you regard the desire for_ liberty_ as a virtue or a vice?" |
| 42665 | And the thousand kilometers-- are they the thousand years of my life? |
| 42665 | And the truth-- how am I to tell it when even my Name can not be expressed in your tongue? |
| 42665 | And their end? |
| 42665 | And this he said to Me... or did the whole street know that my throne was vacant? |
| 42665 | And this is_ man_? |
| 42665 | And what about the whip? |
| 42665 | And what can a president do? |
| 42665 | And what does this king I hear about want, he who is to visit us some of these days?" |
| 42665 | And what else? |
| 42665 | And what if I should devote your gold to doing evil?" |
| 42665 | And what if there should be a fire? |
| 42665 | And what is this curious habit I have of being reminded of some one? |
| 42665 | And what kind of a liar is he who can fool only others? |
| 42665 | And what will then become of my soul? |
| 42665 | And when you come to_ Me_ and fall under the shadow of my kingdom....""Your kingdom? |
| 42665 | And where are my billions?" |
| 42665 | And where can I get it for you? |
| 42665 | And who has spilled this blood? |
| 42665 | And who knows... who knows... perhaps this mass may really break through this stone wall?" |
| 42665 | And will you, too, remain submissive? |
| 42665 | And you want to ask whether I have a mistress? |
| 42665 | And you yourself are to blame for this, my friend: why is there so little understanding in your reason? |
| 42665 | And, by the way, Mr. Toppi has made an excellent impression upon my Maria"----"Toppi?" |
| 42665 | And, in general, has anybody ever seen_ such_ a Satan?" |
| 42665 | Apparently, I must be mistaken or did I miss anything? |
| 42665 | Are there any other questions? |
| 42665 | Are they to be counted as equal to the great ones? |
| 42665 | Are those_ two_ scoundrels who have robbed me known to you, Your Eminence? |
| 42665 | Are thy lips stretching out to mine? |
| 42665 | Are you listening?" |
| 42665 | Are you not, sir, that American billionaire who seeks to bestow upon humanity the benefits of his billions?" |
| 42665 | Are you satisfied?" |
| 42665 | Are you smiling, dear Magnus, or does it only seem so to me? |
| 42665 | Are you still anxious to have... Maria?" |
| 42665 | Are you sure they really want it? |
| 42665 | As a gentleman, although not much of that, I... cannot remain... at...."Magnus narrowed his eyes derisively:"At such a scene?" |
| 42665 | As we walked up the broad stairs of my palazzo, amid its princely wealth and beauty, I suddenly thought:"Why not send all this adventure to the devil? |
| 42665 | Boundless peace and... Satan!--isn''t that a splendid touch in my play? |
| 42665 | Brains implies logic and what can_ logic_ promise to a rabbit? |
| 42665 | Breathing with difficulty, he repeated:"You? |
| 42665 | Built conservatories and raised heirs-- for the perpetuation of your kind? |
| 42665 | But I am beginning to play with you, dear reader? |
| 42665 | But I should think it permissible to ask of you: how am I to reconcile your present remarks with your former_ contempt_ for man? |
| 42665 | But ca n''t you understand, dear Wondergood? |
| 42665 | But do I know? |
| 42665 | But do n''t you personally believe that he who will give man limitless_ freedom_ will also bring him_ death_? |
| 42665 | But has it not already been found? |
| 42665 | But he interrupted me:"We are facing a very difficult talk, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | But he restrained me with a gracious gesture, pointing to a chair:"Where are you going, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | But how could the pure eyes of_ Maria_ have been deceived? |
| 42665 | But how did it all happen? |
| 42665 | But if I_ should forget_? |
| 42665 | But it is you who are concerned in this, Wondergood:_ how_ do you like it? |
| 42665 | But look at these modest little friends of mine: where in your hell will you find such charming, fearless devils, ready for any task? |
| 42665 | But not this was the awful aspect of it: There was something else: the elusive yet astonishing similarity-- to whom? |
| 42665 | But of whom? |
| 42665 | But suppose Magnus bars the road for me? |
| 42665 | But tell me the truth: are you really... this man''s mistress?" |
| 42665 | But what are we to do now? |
| 42665 | But what can I do when I have left all my weapons at_ home_ and must resort to your poor arsenal? |
| 42665 | But what happened? |
| 42665 | But what would you say, man, if the_ sun_, coming down from its course just one line were to come closer to you by that distance? |
| 42665 | But when will you agree to help me?" |
| 42665 | But when will you get down to_ business_?" |
| 42665 | But whence comes this immeasurable terror in your eyes? |
| 42665 | But who will compel their obedience if both of them are wise? |
| 42665 | But who will give it to you, if not I?" |
| 42665 | But why do they interfere with our movement for freedom? |
| 42665 | But will you give me any money? |
| 42665 | But you remember how bright and serene Maria''s gaze is? |
| 42665 | But, fool, why do I need your aid for which I must pay a commission, when my ante- chamber is filled with a flock of beauties? |
| 42665 | But_ what_ was it that gave you such joy?" |
| 42665 | By my throne,--what was that love I prattled of when I donned this human form? |
| 42665 | Can a man with such sight really see Satan? |
| 42665 | Can a person of such dull_ ear_ hear the so- called"murmurs"born of Immaculate Conception? |
| 42665 | Can you conceive of a republic of saints and the administration of the world on the basis of popular representation? |
| 42665 | Can you imagine the sight when_ my_ dynamite will begin to explode, its consciousness, its will, its eyes directed straight upon its goal?" |
| 42665 | Citizen A will pay heed to Citizen B and Citizen B will pay heed to Citizen A-- is that not so? |
| 42665 | Confess, old man: you are quite enchanted with that old monkey?" |
| 42665 | Could you behold calmly the sight of a blissful sheep and hungry snake lying together, separated only by a thin partition? |
| 42665 | Did you drive him out?" |
| 42665 | Did you say: Maria? |
| 42665 | Did you wish to say something, Toppi?" |
| 42665 | Do I know? |
| 42665 | Do n''t you also find the same striking resemblance, Your Eminence? |
| 42665 | Do n''t you remember about that_ play_? |
| 42665 | Do n''t you think she resembles the Madonna?" |
| 42665 | Do n''t you think so? |
| 42665 | Do n''t you understand that I myself, like you, was deceived by her? |
| 42665 | Do n''t you want to go to sleep, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Do you agree with that? |
| 42665 | Do you believe?" |
| 42665 | Do you believe?" |
| 42665 | Do you ever have such dreams? |
| 42665 | Do you hear how merrily they sing? |
| 42665 | Do you hear me?" |
| 42665 | Do you hear the song of the fools of the world? |
| 42665 | Do you hear, Marquis? |
| 42665 | Do you hear... devil?" |
| 42665 | Do you hear? |
| 42665 | Do you know that from the union of truth and falsehood comes an explosion? |
| 42665 | Do you know the exact estimate of your money, Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Do you know what a line is in measurement? |
| 42665 | Do you know what a puppets''show is? |
| 42665 | Do you like that name: Star of the Seas? |
| 42665 | Do you like to feel humble? |
| 42665 | Do you realize that, you beast? |
| 42665 | Do you really think so? |
| 42665 | Do you recollect your real Name?" |
| 42665 | Do you remember that genial American with his cigar and patent gold teeth? |
| 42665 | Do you remember whence you came? |
| 42665 | Do you see him? |
| 42665 | Do you simply go and take the woman? |
| 42665 | Do you think that I am merely afraid? |
| 42665 | Do you understand, Wondergood--_Nothing!_ Why, then, do you want a president who can do nothing?" |
| 42665 | Do you understand? |
| 42665 | Do you violate her? |
| 42665 | Do you want any wine?" |
| 42665 | Do you want to come along with me and be the lord of my billions?" |
| 42665 | Does Satan ever threaten people with the police? |
| 42665 | Does dynamite, too, belong to the domain of psychology? |
| 42665 | Does he fear anything? |
| 42665 | Does that disturb you?" |
| 42665 | Does the spectator concern himself about the fate of the fragments, thrust upon the scrap heap? |
| 42665 | Excuse me, Mr. Wondergood( he recalled my name with great difficulty) but what fool will pay any attention to the representatives of the people? |
| 42665 | Finally I said:"How is the Signorina''s health?"... |
| 42665 | Finally there came a gruff voice, asking from behind the iron door:"Who are you? |
| 42665 | Following a period of silence, I asked:"And how would you have acted, Magnus?" |
| 42665 | Fools and sentimental souls, you understand? |
| 42665 | For three years I sat in this cursed cage, awaiting my chance....""And all that-- in the beautiful Campagna?" |
| 42665 | From what root is this word derived and what does it mean--_ratio_? |
| 42665 | Go on teaching that but why do_ you_ want to do it? |
| 42665 | Habit? |
| 42665 | Has not Toppi lived to grow gray and to a peaceful end? |
| 42665 | Hate? |
| 42665 | Have I prepared all this? |
| 42665 | Have I, like Toppi, previously donned the human form? |
| 42665 | Have not you noticed that? |
| 42665 | Have some wine? |
| 42665 | Have you a customer for my villa, Magnus? |
| 42665 | Have you exhausted your feed? |
| 42665 | Have you never looked at man from this point of view, Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Have you not at your disposal a limitless number of zeros? |
| 42665 | Have you, too, Mr. Wondergood, dropped in on us for a brief visit?" |
| 42665 | He continued, after a pause:"Do you know, Wondergood, that the Cardinal has been here?" |
| 42665 | He gazed at Me long and intently:"Mr. Wondergood? |
| 42665 | He is the banker, he will manage the game and I shall simply do the betting.... Quite a life, eh?" |
| 42665 | He kept raising and lowering his eyebrows and again inquired:"And how soon may we expect your betrothal to Signorina Maria?" |
| 42665 | He laughed again:"Would you be sorry? |
| 42665 | He looked at me quickly:"Now?" |
| 42665 | He looked me over as carefully again and shook his head in doubt:"Is that true, Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | He merely chewed his cigar for a moment and asked:"And what will he do with your money?" |
| 42665 | He placed his hand upon my shoulder and brought his dark, evil, brazen eyes closer to my face:"The passion of love, eh?" |
| 42665 | He sat down and scrutinizing me from all possible angles, as if he did not believe me, he burst out:"You? |
| 42665 | He signed and continued:"You are not a Socialist, Mr. Wondergood? |
| 42665 | He was evidently pained and mumbled:"Ah, Signor-- a model?" |
| 42665 | He_ came_ to see you?" |
| 42665 | Henry Wondergood? |
| 42665 | How about my_ free_ departure? |
| 42665 | How about the living?" |
| 42665 | How can they get along without a king? |
| 42665 | How can you get along without a king: who will be responsible for them before God? |
| 42665 | How can you reform people and make them happy without realizing their shortcomings or by ignoring their vices? |
| 42665 | How dared you deceive me? |
| 42665 | How do I know? |
| 42665 | How do you regard it, dear Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | How is your health?" |
| 42665 | How long do you intend to think about it, you ass? |
| 42665 | How shall I describe it? |
| 42665 | How would you describe it? |
| 42665 | How, then, can I reveal to you the_ third_? |
| 42665 | How, then, did you expect me to desire such love?" |
| 42665 | I am a white- winged schooner and beneath me is an entire ocean, and was it not written of Her: the_ Incomparable_? |
| 42665 | I am rather sorry that I have driven away my painters and my interviewers: I have no one to inquire whom I_ resemble_ with my radiant countenance? |
| 42665 | I ask him:"And can you paint a Madonna?" |
| 42665 | I asked:"How old is this creature?" |
| 42665 | I beg your pardon for disturbing you needlessly, but at that time I thought I should have spoken thus for the sake of style....""Style?" |
| 42665 | I confess that I have begun to fear Magnus somewhat... or is this fear one of the gifts of my complete human existence? |
| 42665 | I drew up my torn sleeve and asked ironically:"And it is this bird of prey that you now wish to give to me? |
| 42665 | I grew as merry as a darkey who has just escaped from hard labor and I whispered to Toppi:"Well, Toppi, and how about the Madonna?" |
| 42665 | I had the strength to smile:"My love for human beings?" |
| 42665 | I have not yet selected my company( would you not like to join it?). |
| 42665 | I hope that Signorina Maria will then become my wife?" |
| 42665 | I moved my cigar to the other corner of my mouth and asked:"And you are ready, of course, to give me a helping hand? |
| 42665 | I need all your_ senses_, undimmed by anything... you did n''t drink anything to- day? |
| 42665 | I need only buy a seat to gaze upon Maria and her fatal resemblance-- admitting that it is only resemblance!--but how must I pay for_ love_?" |
| 42665 | I offered no resistance: why should I? |
| 42665 | I only feel strange... is that how you put it: strange? |
| 42665 | I see a myriad cups about me, but no matter which of them my lips may touch, I find it filled with rust and vinegar: or has man no other drink? |
| 42665 | I shrugged my shoulders, lit a cigar and asked:"Your illustration of the_ very_ wealthy man who has suddenly become a beggar,--does that concern me? |
| 42665 | I strain my neck, all lined with blue veins, and in my throat there rises the final curse-- or blessing? |
| 42665 | I studied this mixture of a monkey, parrot, penguin, fox, wolf-- and what not? |
| 42665 | I suppose you do not know Latin? |
| 42665 | I suspect for some reason that you are not Italian?" |
| 42665 | I think: what happened to me yesterday? |
| 42665 | I thought and with my gaze unchanged, replied:"For money, Your Eminence?" |
| 42665 | I turned about quickly and-- how can I express the extraordinary when it is inexpressible? |
| 42665 | I understand,"Magnus bowed his head politely in acceptance of this truth and turned smilingly to me:"Do you hear, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | I was frightened at first and nearly choked to death----""With a bone? |
| 42665 | I was particularly absorbed in the electric light upon which I fixed my attention: why does_ it_ burn and give light? |
| 42665 | I....""You?" |
| 42665 | If I could not destroy them, like Sodom and Gomorrah, is it worth while speaking of cold shivers and goose flesh? |
| 42665 | If you are Magnus Ergo... what audacity: Magnus Ergo!--then why do n''t you go the limit? |
| 42665 | In Arkansas they tell a story....""Ah, I see, you want to get down to business? |
| 42665 | In my recent contemplations, there... came to me a strange thought: Who is of greater_ use_ to man-- he who hates or he who loves him? |
| 42665 | In short, Signor Magnus: would you agree to have me place my billions at your disposal_ now_?" |
| 42665 | In two weeks?" |
| 42665 | In whose power am I? |
| 42665 | In your play? |
| 42665 | Is he the son of my Father? |
| 42665 | Is he young?" |
| 42665 | Is it possible that you yourself obey this law, Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Is it some_ Master_ who is beating me? |
| 42665 | Is it true that you get drunk every night in the company of your... friends?" |
| 42665 | Is n''t that your noble aim? |
| 42665 | Is not your_ Maria_ a miracle? |
| 42665 | Is that all?" |
| 42665 | Is that not enough?" |
| 42665 | Is that not so? |
| 42665 | Is that not so?" |
| 42665 | Is that not so?" |
| 42665 | Is that so very interesting?" |
| 42665 | Is there immortality there, and, also, what is the price of coal at the stock exchange of Hell? |
| 42665 | Let me make it quite clear: would you like to be my heir?" |
| 42665 | Let me press your hand? |
| 42665 | Let them steal and break down the machinery and you-- you will be concerned only about your salary and the respect due you? |
| 42665 | Let us weep together in the desert, knowing that no one will give heed to us... or perhaps some one will? |
| 42665 | Madonna, where art Thou? |
| 42665 | Madonna, where art Thou? |
| 42665 | Madonna, where art Thou? |
| 42665 | Magnus broke into loud laughter and struck the table with his glass:"Do you hear, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Magnus laughed loudly:"And do you remember what you said about your_ love_ for man? |
| 42665 | Magnus laughed:"And was it not of him I have just spoken? |
| 42665 | Magnus laughed:"Do you remember Giovanni, Maria?" |
| 42665 | Magnus noticed my gaze and shouted angrily:"Why do you look at me like that, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Magnus remained silent for a few moments and then said:"And Maria?" |
| 42665 | Magnus seated himself opposite me and, taking a sip of wine, asked with strange seriousness:"How do you regard explosives?" |
| 42665 | Magnus smiled and immediately regaining his composure continued calmly and without emotion:"I have unwittingly startled you, Mr. Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Magnus was the first to speak:"And so?" |
| 42665 | Magnus, just as ironically, turned to me:"And what do you say, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Make it clearer?" |
| 42665 | Maria... you can do everything and you know everything?" |
| 42665 | Maria?" |
| 42665 | Me?" |
| 42665 | Me?" |
| 42665 | Need I say that I have a nephew? |
| 42665 | No, tell me, in whose power am I? |
| 42665 | No? |
| 42665 | No? |
| 42665 | No? |
| 42665 | Not much,--is that not so? |
| 42665 | Not yet has the earth endowed me with my name and I know not who I am: Cain or Abel? |
| 42665 | Now you know about all there is to know of Maria or the Madonna, as you called her, and I ask you: will you take her or not? |
| 42665 | Now, when I am about to disappear entirely, taking with me the''sediment''of a gentlemen? |
| 42665 | Of course, you do not know that?" |
| 42665 | Of course, you have not forgotten that I am a billionaire? |
| 42665 | On Signor Magnus? |
| 42665 | One must not take anesthetics in such cases as... as....""As vivisection?" |
| 42665 | Or am I really such a clever Don Juan that I can turn the head of an innocent and trusting girl by a few simple, silent meetings? |
| 42665 | Or are n''t you used to having some one else warm your bed? |
| 42665 | Or are there other worlds beside those I know or have forgotten? |
| 42665 | Or are you so used to the work of the_ worms_ that you take it for the elevation of thought and inspiration? |
| 42665 | Or did I simply imagine that I was Satan once? |
| 42665 | Or did the Cardinal try to hide behind this jest his actual fright? |
| 42665 | Or did you lie on this point, too? |
| 42665 | Or does not the"huge, sharp corkscrew"suit you? |
| 42665 | Or has the_ ruin_ of Madonna, which I witnessed, dragged Satan, too, into the same abyss? |
| 42665 | Or has this torn sleeve brought me to this senseless, pitiful wrath? |
| 42665 | Or have I landed in the_ wrong_ place? |
| 42665 | Or have you no conscience at all or any common sense? |
| 42665 | Or is it because on this night of my loneliness, my road is being illuminated by the_ Star of the Seas_? |
| 42665 | Or is it because the extraordinary is inexpressible through pencil? |
| 42665 | Or is this all lodged in my memory-- that which I strain my ear to catch? |
| 42665 | Or must one possess a great mind to appreciate horror, like Mine? |
| 42665 | Or shall I send to the druggist for an eye lotion? |
| 42665 | Or was I not an emperor but simply one of the"victims"when Rome burned down in accordance with the magnificent plan of Nero? |
| 42665 | Or was this the last act of my human masquerade, when man''s spirit descends to the mire and sweeps the dust and dirt with its breath? |
| 42665 | Or, do n''t you, American from Illinois, want to get into the Pantheon?" |
| 42665 | Or?... |
| 42665 | Perhaps I was injured in the wreck, or was it weariness brought on by the flight? |
| 42665 | Perhaps Thomas Magnus is one of these wanderers? |
| 42665 | Perhaps it is really_ great good_? |
| 42665 | Perhaps it was a snake? |
| 42665 | Perhaps this is his native town? |
| 42665 | Perhaps you''ll have some wine? |
| 42665 | Permit me to ask: do you intend to give anything to his Eminence?" |
| 42665 | Pride? |
| 42665 | Private yachts and diamonds for your wife? |
| 42665 | Probably a saint? |
| 42665 | Rest or revolution? |
| 42665 | Rising and facing me, he straightened his body cynically, as if trying to reveal himself in his entirety, and well nigh spat these words at me:"Well? |
| 42665 | See how simple and interesting all this is?" |
| 42665 | Shall I bargain with my judges about another blow of the whip? |
| 42665 | Shall I cry: Away!--or shall I bend mine to her will and follow her? |
| 42665 | Shall I kiss the hand of the executioner? |
| 42665 | Shall I tie the other end of the rope about her and lead her to your bed, kind sir? |
| 42665 | Shall we release this little, extremely little, gentleman?" |
| 42665 | She probably has her own little sins, too....""And how about my top hat, Magnus? |
| 42665 | Signorina Maria, you were my bride? |
| 42665 | So he was really expecting me to reply? |
| 42665 | So that he may continue to bear his hump, yes? |
| 42665 | So what shall we do with this-- planet-- Magnus?" |
| 42665 | So you like the museums, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | So you want me to surrender to that bird of prey of yours?" |
| 42665 | So, I am changing my skin? |
| 42665 | So, those books of yours, your solitary contemplation of life, that little white house and everything was all a lie? |
| 42665 | So... you do not intend to take me along with you?" |
| 42665 | Some write and others do n''t, you understand?" |
| 42665 | Star of the Seas?--that was what you once called her, Wondergood, was it not?" |
| 42665 | Stupidity? |
| 42665 | Suddenly Toppi''s Adam''s apple gave a jerk and he inquired hoarsely:"Has any one ever painted your portrait, Signorina?" |
| 42665 | Suddenly he reappeared at the window and shouted back:"What are you crying about? |
| 42665 | Tell Me, stranger: whither does_ this_ road lead? |
| 42665 | Tell me, shall I or shall I not be compelled to commit... murder?" |
| 42665 | Tell me, was not the celebrated Mark Twain a countryman of yours? |
| 42665 | Tell me-- what is Woman? |
| 42665 | That I wanted to play?" |
| 42665 | The King can do_ everything_, Wondergood, you understand?" |
| 42665 | The devil?" |
| 42665 | The old monkey?" |
| 42665 | The present is always brighter with a dark past as a background... you understand? |
| 42665 | The suspicious resemblance of Maria to the Madonna no longer troubled me: how can I possibly be troubled by the fact that you resemble_ yourself_? |
| 42665 | The wise man need only apply the fire to the fuse, you understand? |
| 42665 | Then Toppi asked me:"And how much does he want?" |
| 42665 | Then he looked again at me piercingly and quietly asked:"And Maria?..." |
| 42665 | Then why not show him the door?" |
| 42665 | There are, there were and there will be so many of them that it is n''t really worth while....""So I am to conclude that you_ lied_?" |
| 42665 | These cursed cuts upon my back? |
| 42665 | They were asking: Why these tears? |
| 42665 | Think: would I be able to kill had I at my disposal only violins or other musical instruments?" |
| 42665 | This is done by a special species of_ faithful watchmen_"--Magnus laughed again:"and did you observe how uncomfortable they feel in the museum?" |
| 42665 | This seems strange to me: how can the father of Signorina Maria be a non- believer? |
| 42665 | This sounds queer to you, who are accustomed to wallow in your own dirt? |
| 42665 | Thou, who art_ above_, dost thou pity him who is_ below_? |
| 42665 | Thou, who art_ divine_, hast thou recognized a friend in him who has become_ human_? |
| 42665 | To be sure, his recipe has one disadvantage: while dispensing_ happiness_ it destroys_ people_... but is that important? |
| 42665 | To invent some sort of a new, evil game? |
| 42665 | To laugh at us human beings? |
| 42665 | To make us dance to your tune? |
| 42665 | To play, you say? |
| 42665 | To tempt? |
| 42665 | To whom do you appeal when you are fooled or when a dog bites your finger? |
| 42665 | To whom was it that I opened my embraces? |
| 42665 | To your wife, the police, public opinion? |
| 42665 | Toppi?" |
| 42665 | Training? |
| 42665 | Very well, but what about your plan: to blow up the earth or something of that kind? |
| 42665 | War or peace? |
| 42665 | Was Maria unwell? |
| 42665 | Was it I who wanted to play? |
| 42665 | Was it I who yearned for the game? |
| 42665 | Was it you... comrade? |
| 42665 | Was n''t that silly, Mr. Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Was that, too, stupidity and habit? |
| 42665 | We were silent or-- if you regard the following as conversation-- we spoke:"Are those mountains?" |
| 42665 | Weeping and laughing at the same time, I asked:"It''s difficult to be a man, Toppi?" |
| 42665 | Well, what do you say?" |
| 42665 | Well, what of it? |
| 42665 | Were there many victims?" |
| 42665 | What about that flight of yours? |
| 42665 | What after all, is the liver of Prometheus? |
| 42665 | What are the sufferings of your little, shallow American soul in comparison with the pangs of mine? |
| 42665 | What are the ways of Hell? |
| 42665 | What are you looking at, Wondergood: do you find the hour too early? |
| 42665 | What are you thinking of?" |
| 42665 | What could I answer? |
| 42665 | What did I not talk about? |
| 42665 | What did he want?" |
| 42665 | What did you come here for, anyway? |
| 42665 | What do I care about the deceived Magnus or the stupidity of his eyes and brain? |
| 42665 | What do you do, man, when_ that_ happens to you? |
| 42665 | What do you think about it?" |
| 42665 | What do you think, my friend, is the best heating system? |
| 42665 | What do you want me for? |
| 42665 | What do you want?" |
| 42665 | What do you want?" |
| 42665 | What gave me the idea that I hate Magnus? |
| 42665 | What good is it?" |
| 42665 | What insurmountable barriers does love raise for itself when it dares to lift its eyes upon Maria?" |
| 42665 | What is a cough or a catarrh of the stomach? |
| 42665 | What is human blood to Me? |
| 42665 | What is my face when you struck the face of your own Christ and spat into his eyes? |
| 42665 | What is that noble Roman youth to me, who himself unable to find_ comparisons_ was hurled over the head of his Pegasus? |
| 42665 | What is the matter with you? |
| 42665 | What is the matter?" |
| 42665 | What kind of a law is it if they themselves make it? |
| 42665 | What shall I say to you? |
| 42665 | What shall we do about it, Your Eminence?" |
| 42665 | What use is there in the fact that there is a revolver in my pocket? |
| 42665 | What was I to do? |
| 42665 | What will Mr. Wondergood think of me?" |
| 42665 | What will it be necessary to waste to give expression to the great and the unusual? |
| 42665 | What will you say then, scoundrel Wondergood? |
| 42665 | What wise man will agree to obey it? |
| 42665 | What would you have done, in the long run, with your billions, if I had not taken them from you? |
| 42665 | What''s the difference? |
| 42665 | What''s the use of my wasting words? |
| 42665 | What, she will not go? |
| 42665 | When I heaved a particularly deep sigh, Magnus turned quickly and said in a strangely familiar tone:"Do you want some wine, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | When do you usually begin to decay, my friend: on the second, the third day or does it depend upon the climate? |
| 42665 | When you began your affair with Maria... of course with my slight assistance... I finally concluded that you were....""An extraordinary ass?" |
| 42665 | Whence comes this base contempt of yours?" |
| 42665 | Whence comes this motionless light behind my back? |
| 42665 | Whence did I come? |
| 42665 | Whence does it come? |
| 42665 | Whence shall I hear The Call? |
| 42665 | Where is that great Spirit which once illumined it?" |
| 42665 | Where were the stars while awaiting the word of the Lord of the universe to break forth in all their brilliance? |
| 42665 | Where? |
| 42665 | Whither can I take a step? |
| 42665 | Who am I, Henry Wondergood, to undertake the solution of these problems? |
| 42665 | Who are you, Mr. Wondergood of Illinois, that you essay to solve_ these_ problems? |
| 42665 | Who are you, then?" |
| 42665 | Who else did you expect?" |
| 42665 | Who will give you sweet faith in immortality, in eternal life, in everlasting bliss?... |
| 42665 | Who will pay the most for this unearthly beauty? |
| 42665 | Who will then defend you against death? |
| 42665 | Who, meeting_ Madonna_, can escape deception? |
| 42665 | Whom?" |
| 42665 | Why are you so sure of yourselves? |
| 42665 | Why did I fear darkness so much at the beginning? |
| 42665 | Why did it not protest when I walked over its face? |
| 42665 | Why did you refuse to help me? |
| 42665 | Why do they have a king in Germany, a king in England, a king in Italy, and a hundred other kings? |
| 42665 | Why do you not drink, Mr. Wondergood? |
| 42665 | Why does it not come here, I thought: can the window pane possibly keep it out if it should wish to break through?... |
| 42665 | Why not simply we d and live like a prince in this palace? |
| 42665 | Why should I not do what I want to do? |
| 42665 | Why should I not say that she is 20 or 2000 years old? |
| 42665 | Why waste paint and canvas?" |
| 42665 | Will it be warm when the white snow covers my new home? |
| 42665 | Will that be enough?" |
| 42665 | Will you believe me when I say that I sensed the odor of blood and Nero? |
| 42665 | Will you give me my revolver? |
| 42665 | Will you permit me to discontinue, man? |
| 42665 | Will you take breakfast with me?" |
| 42665 | With great effort and concentration, I tried to catch the words and this was what I heard:"And would n''t you rather continue living, Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | With this planet? |
| 42665 | Wo n''t you be good enough, sir, to direct him to the nearest road to Eternity? |
| 42665 | Wo n''t you take Maria for yourself, my earthly friend? |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Would not_ you_, a gentleman of Illinois, also like to be... well, at least, Emperor of_ Russia_, where the_ will_ is still above the law?" |
| 42665 | Would you not consider it a_ miracle_? |
| 42665 | Yes, I remember, I remember.... Do n''t you find, Wondergood, that man, in mass, is a repulsive being?" |
| 42665 | Yes, Wondergood?" |
| 42665 | Yes? |
| 42665 | Yesterday I kissed only red wine... but whence come these burning traces on my lips? |
| 42665 | You are apparently no longer used to this? |
| 42665 | You are astonished? |
| 42665 | You are not angry?" |
| 42665 | You are thinking of my ambition? |
| 42665 | You do not trust Magnus?" |
| 42665 | You find it impossible to drive out the old monkey? |
| 42665 | You have not changed your intention, I hope, of remaining with_ us_?" |
| 42665 | You have not forgotten_ what_ I told you about Maria, of her fatal influence upon the soul? |
| 42665 | You have probably observed, Wondergood, or you, Mr. Toppi, that ice is not as cold as the brow of a_ dead_ man? |
| 42665 | You knit your brow in contempt and ask: Who is this Satan who does not_ know_ such_ simple_ things? |
| 42665 | You know what vanity is, when you crave the praise and plaudits even of a fool? |
| 42665 | You know, I wanted to do something interesting for the sake of amusement and so I let loose this... this emotion....""So it was only_ play_?..." |
| 42665 | You know, of course, that the method of exploding various preparations depends upon their respective compositions?" |
| 42665 | You ought to know that man? |
| 42665 | You probably know them, old man? |
| 42665 | You probably wish to ask also whether I shall ever visit Magnus again? |
| 42665 | You remember how bright it is? |
| 42665 | You remember that heavy moment when I spoke to you of_ blood_? |
| 42665 | You remember what I told you_ about my_ explosive? |
| 42665 | You say we must receive some ex- king? |
| 42665 | You see before you Satan in_ human form_... you understand? |
| 42665 | You see how she listens to me? |
| 42665 | You think so? |
| 42665 | You think_ that is_ not interesting?" |
| 42665 | You understand, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | You understand, Wondergood? |
| 42665 | You understand: now the moon and now the sun? |
| 42665 | You understand: she turned me inside out, like a stocking-- or how shall I put it? |
| 42665 | You understand? |
| 42665 | You understand? |
| 42665 | You understand? |
| 42665 | You understand? |
| 42665 | You understand? |
| 42665 | You understand? |
| 42665 | You understand? |
| 42665 | You understand? |
| 42665 | You understand? |
| 42665 | You understand?" |
| 42665 | You understand?" |
| 42665 | You understand?" |
| 42665 | You understand?" |
| 42665 | You want my liver, too, in addition to my billions?" |
| 42665 | You want to insure the Vatican-- or something else? |
| 42665 | You will probably ask whether I saw Maria''s home? |
| 42665 | You wo n''t object if your secretary remains while we continue our conversation? |
| 42665 | You''ve heard what the poor devils write?" |
| 42665 | You, Wondergood, have transformed your pigs into gold, yes? |
| 42665 | Your hand, my friend?" |
| 42665 | _ An nescis, mi filis quantilla sapientia rigitur orbis?_ Ah, my dear Wondergood! |
| 42665 | _ Mundus vult decipi_... you know our Latin? |
| 42665 | _ What_ did I leave behind the wall of my Unconsciousness? |
| 42665 | and extinguished also is my fear of man and life( or did I merely invent it?) |
| 42665 | or has Maria read them?" |
| 42332 | A day or two? |
| 42332 | A failure? 42332 A gamble? |
| 42332 | A pet of mine,--he answered, smiling slightly--"Did you ever see anything like it before?" |
| 42332 | A very good man,--you could not have a better--he said complacently--"And this book of yours,--when does it come out?" |
| 42332 | All women? |
| 42332 | Alone? 42332 Am I not fully aware of that?" |
| 42332 | Am I? |
| 42332 | An exception? 42332 And after you die?" |
| 42332 | And are the dancers here? |
| 42332 | And have you been thinking? |
| 42332 | And now what do you say-- shall we mention it Bentham?--or shall we not mention it? |
| 42332 | And physical ailments are the only ones worth troubling about, you think? |
| 42332 | And the woman? |
| 42332 | And what does Lady Sibyl say? |
| 42332 | And what of the critics? |
| 42332 | And what was it? |
| 42332 | And what would you have me do? |
| 42332 | And you,--I interrupted him suddenly, and with some warmth--"do you know what_ you_ look? |
| 42332 | And you? |
| 42332 | And your rival, Mavis Clare? 42332 And... the prince... does he like her?" |
| 42332 | Anyhow,resumed Miss Chesney"you''re young enough, to enjoy your wealth are n''t you?" |
| 42332 | Are you a democrat, prince? |
| 42332 | Are you a worker of miracles? |
| 42332 | Are you growing weary of the voyage Geoffrey? |
| 42332 | Are you miserable, for instance? |
| 42332 | Are you not cold, Miss Chesney? |
| 42332 | Are you really? 42332 Are you so blind that you can not perceive why?" |
| 42332 | Are you too blind to see that I am? |
| 42332 | Are_ you_ in the dumps now Lucio? |
| 42332 | Assist me? 42332 But are you not making up your mind rather suddenly? |
| 42332 | But he did know--I said--"Did you not say you exchanged cards?" |
| 42332 | But he seemed to recognise you,--I said--"Have you met him before?" |
| 42332 | But how? |
| 42332 | But surely you are taking too much personal trouble,--I said--"Can''t I help in any way?" |
| 42332 | But there are two other owls in the cage--I said--"What are their names?" |
| 42332 | But why do you do such things? |
| 42332 | But why? |
| 42332 | But why? |
| 42332 | But you--I began--"you say you believe in the soul?" |
| 42332 | But your people--he said--"Your family-- are they literary?" |
| 42332 | But-- who was She? |
| 42332 | By a reliable authority? |
| 42332 | Can I assist you sir? |
| 42332 | Can I be of any service? |
| 42332 | Can he ride? |
| 42332 | Can you ask? 42332 Can you be happy with_ me_?" |
| 42332 | Changed? 42332 Did I not say you would change, Sibyl?" |
| 42332 | Did I? 42332 Did I?" |
| 42332 | Did I? |
| 42332 | Did you give me old Tokay? |
| 42332 | Did you though? |
| 42332 | Did you wish me to be impressed? |
| 42332 | Did you? 42332 Did you?" |
| 42332 | Do n''t use impossible comparisons;--he replied--"Have you ever heard an angel sing?" |
| 42332 | Do n''t you admire her? |
| 42332 | Do n''t you find that people look at you very often as you pass, Lucio? |
| 42332 | Do you believe in hell? |
| 42332 | Do you believe in him? |
| 42332 | Do you call that course of procedure honest? |
| 42332 | Do you consider me empty- headed? |
| 42332 | Do you know Me now, man whom my millions of dross have made wretched?--or do you need me to tell you WHO I am? |
| 42332 | Do you like her? |
| 42332 | Do you mean to tell me McWhing will take that five hundred? |
| 42332 | Do you mean to tell me,I said earnestly"that what I saw just now was the mere thought of your brain conveyed to mine?" |
| 42332 | Do you not feel the world already at your feet? |
| 42332 | Do you not? 42332 Do you not? |
| 42332 | Do you play? |
| 42332 | Do you really mean it? |
| 42332 | Do you take me for such a callous creature as all that? |
| 42332 | Do you want the human race to be perfect? |
| 42332 | Do you want to become her lover? |
| 42332 | Do you? |
| 42332 | Does not everyone approve and admire you? |
| 42332 | Dull then? |
| 42332 | Exactly!--How is it possible? 42332 Excuse me sir,"--he then observed--"but I daresay you''ve noticed that there''s something unpleasant- like about the prince''s valet, Amiel?" |
| 42332 | Famous? |
| 42332 | For you? |
| 42332 | From_ me_? |
| 42332 | Funny? |
| 42332 | Give it way? 42332 Grateful to-- whom did you say?" |
| 42332 | Has the prince retired? |
| 42332 | Has this a good sale? |
| 42332 | Have you dined? |
| 42332 | Have you got a room for Mr Tempest? |
| 42332 | Have you not heard? |
| 42332 | He has a red lamp in his window has he not? |
| 42332 | He is a great friend of yours? |
| 42332 | He is surely a very singular man,--said Mavis thoughtfully--"Do you remember how strangely my dogs behaved to him? |
| 42332 | Heard? 42332 Honest? |
| 42332 | How do you know I am not one? |
| 42332 | How do you know all this you tell me of? |
| 42332 | How so? |
| 42332 | I believe,I said suddenly, addressing the Earl--"you used to live in Warwickshire at Willowsmere Court did you not?" |
| 42332 | I confess I am tired,--I said, and an unconscious sigh escaped me--"And you?" |
| 42332 | I perceive you are a cynic,--I said--"Yet surely you believe that there are some things wealth can not buy,--honour and virtue for example?" |
| 42332 | I suppose you know,--I began with harsh abruptness--"that the sleeping- draught story is a polite fiction? |
| 42332 | I suppose--I said slowly,"you, in your pursuit of science, would infer from this that nothing actually perishes completely?" |
| 42332 | I? 42332 I? |
| 42332 | If that is so,he answered,"why in Heaven''s name do you not let the other planets alone? |
| 42332 | If you do not mean to be her friend, you should tell her so,--I said presently--"You heard what she said about pretended protestations of regard?" |
| 42332 | Is Amiel with you? |
| 42332 | Is Miss Clare at home? |
| 42332 | Is it alive? |
| 42332 | Is it? 42332 Is it?" |
| 42332 | Is not----may not this be a mistaken surmise of yours? |
| 42332 | Is that your humour? |
| 42332 | Is the book such wretched stuff as you make it out to be? |
| 42332 | Is there anything I can do for you sir? |
| 42332 | Is this your first visit to Willowsmere Court? |
| 42332 | It is a pity you should appeal to it then;--he responded with a smile--"If you think so little of the public why give it anything of your brain? |
| 42332 | It is best to be frank, is it not? |
| 42332 | Just now,--when you kissed me? |
| 42332 | Lady Elton would like to hear you sing, prince--she said--"Will you give us that pleasure? |
| 42332 | Listen, my friend,I said earnestly--"You know I have been busy for the last fortnight correcting the proofs of my book for the press,--do you not?" |
| 42332 | Look at this--I said--"Does_ she_ pay five hundred pounds to David McWhing''s charity?" |
| 42332 | Many people would be glad to accept such responsibilities and change places with me--I said with a flippant air--"You yourself, for example?" |
| 42332 | May I come and inquire about you all to- morrow? |
| 42332 | May I come and talk to you sometimes? |
| 42332 | May I keep these? |
| 42332 | Melodramatic? |
| 42332 | Miss Clare, are you going to name a pigeon after Mr Tempest? |
| 42332 | Mr Tempest is going to marry the daughter of the former owner of Willowsmere,--put in Lucio,--"No doubt you have seen it announced in the papers?" |
| 42332 | Mr Tempest? |
| 42332 | My dear fellow, how else should they be done? |
| 42332 | My name? |
| 42332 | My worst enemy? |
| 42332 | No? 42332 No?" |
| 42332 | Nor give? |
| 42332 | Nothing can happen to you against your will--he replied;"I suppose you wish to imply that I am to blame for introducing you to the club? |
| 42332 | Of whom are you speaking, Mavis? |
| 42332 | Oh there is nothing either to fear or to hope--I said with some violence--"_She did it._ And can you guess why she did it? |
| 42332 | Oh, are you so blind,she cried,"as not to see what this means? |
| 42332 | Oh, is that the way these things are done? |
| 42332 | Oh, why? |
| 42332 | Oh, you are happy then? |
| 42332 | Oh, you did, did you? |
| 42332 | Pardon me,I interposed somewhat wearily--"but are you sure you judge the public taste correctly?" |
| 42332 | Perhaps you are in love? |
| 42332 | Perhaps--he continued,"as we''re so near home, you''ll let me know your name? |
| 42332 | Perhaps,I said,"he has not really killed himself? |
| 42332 | Rather an odd name, Mavis, is n''t it? |
| 42332 | Really? 42332 Rimânez? |
| 42332 | Sale? |
| 42332 | Seriously? |
| 42332 | Shall I give you some music now, Madame? |
| 42332 | Shall I see you if I come? |
| 42332 | Shall I tell you? 42332 Shall we try?" |
| 42332 | She? 42332 So I heard,"--she said, still observing me curiously--"And you are satisfied with it?" |
| 42332 | So he will never marry? |
| 42332 | So you''re the famous Mr Tempest? |
| 42332 | Surely sir,said Miss Charlotte Fitzroy severely--"you believe in Heaven?" |
| 42332 | Take? 42332 Tell me,"I said with a half- smile--"Do you know how to love yet?" |
| 42332 | Tell me,--quick-- what is wrong? |
| 42332 | That is your christian name--? |
| 42332 | That is your opinion? |
| 42332 | That_ was_? |
| 42332 | The devil? 42332 The end?" |
| 42332 | The paralysed Helen of a modern Troy? 42332 The sun is too strong for you I fear?" |
| 42332 | Then he hates me? |
| 42332 | Then you know the dear Canon? |
| 42332 | Think I''m irreverent, do n''t you? |
| 42332 | Think so? 42332 This must be very bad for your health,"--I said, drawing my chair closer to hers--"Can you not get away for a change?" |
| 42332 | To what article do you allude, Miss Clare? |
| 42332 | Tricksy, what_ is_ the matter? |
| 42332 | True!--but may not inspiration refuse to flow from a full purse and an empty head? |
| 42332 | Two critics? |
| 42332 | Upon my word I think I would rather go to bed than anything--I confessed--"But what about my room?" |
| 42332 | Upon my word, you put me in a very awkward position Geoffrey,--what is to be done? 42332 Was it because you desired to make me happy out of pure love for me?" |
| 42332 | Was she''rapid''? |
| 42332 | We dine at the Eltons''to- night, do we not? |
| 42332 | We shall be delighted,--he mumbled--"when do you take possession?" |
| 42332 | We shall do our best for you, Mr Tempest, shall we not Bentham? |
| 42332 | Well sir, the prince has a_ chef_ of his own has n''t he? |
| 42332 | Well, how old are you really? |
| 42332 | Well? 42332 Well?" |
| 42332 | Well? |
| 42332 | What am I to do? |
| 42332 | What did you feel then? |
| 42332 | What did you marry me for? |
| 42332 | What do you know about it? |
| 42332 | What do you mean, Sibyl? |
| 42332 | What do you think of her? |
| 42332 | What do you want to do that for, with your immense position? |
| 42332 | What does he do with the other servants? |
| 42332 | What does money do for you? |
| 42332 | What for? |
| 42332 | What has she done in literature? |
| 42332 | What has the poor little planet done? |
| 42332 | What have your teachers done with me and my eternal sorrows? |
| 42332 | What is it? |
| 42332 | What is it? |
| 42332 | What is it? |
| 42332 | What is that? |
| 42332 | What is? 42332 What is?" |
| 42332 | What strange song is that? |
| 42332 | When did you arrive in England? |
| 42332 | When, Sibyl? |
| 42332 | Where are you off to? |
| 42332 | Where is Diana? |
| 42332 | Where is she? |
| 42332 | Where is_ your_ friend? |
| 42332 | Who is that? |
| 42332 | Why Lucio, I thought you hated women? |
| 42332 | Why be mortified? |
| 42332 | Why do n''t you read Mavis Clare''s books? |
| 42332 | Why do you join the procession then? |
| 42332 | Why do you now seem to tremble at a mere sentimental idea? 42332 Why do you say that now?" |
| 42332 | Why do you sigh? |
| 42332 | Why should they choose Mavis Clare? |
| 42332 | Why should you imagine he does not? |
| 42332 | Why, what did he do? |
| 42332 | Why, what has happened to you since we parted? |
| 42332 | Why, what''s the matter? |
| 42332 | Why? 42332 Why? |
| 42332 | Why? |
| 42332 | Why? |
| 42332 | Why? |
| 42332 | Why? |
| 42332 | Why? |
| 42332 | Why? |
| 42332 | Why? |
| 42332 | Will you continue your literary career now you have this little fortune left you? |
| 42332 | Will you make up another game with me? |
| 42332 | Will you sit here Geoffrey? |
| 42332 | Will you take a composing draught if I mix it for you? |
| 42332 | With Sibyl? |
| 42332 | With alarm? |
| 42332 | Worries? |
| 42332 | Would you? |
| 42332 | Wrong? 42332 Yes, you-- why not? |
| 42332 | Yes,--it does seem strange,--doesn''t it? |
| 42332 | You are a great friend of Prince Rimânez? |
| 42332 | You are a ruling power then? |
| 42332 | You are a very young man to be a millionaire,--were her next words, uttered with evident difficulty--"Are you married?" |
| 42332 | You are to be married in June? |
| 42332 | You begin to hate her----you?--and why? |
| 42332 | You find it stupid perhaps? |
| 42332 | You have been thinking of your wife? |
| 42332 | You have perceived that, then, Sibyl? |
| 42332 | You know its contents? |
| 42332 | You know the Prince? |
| 42332 | You know the trite saying-- appearances are deceptive? |
| 42332 | You like your purchase? |
| 42332 | You look tired Lady Sibyl,--I said gently--"Are you not well?" |
| 42332 | You love me,--yes, I know, but how? 42332 You never work at night?" |
| 42332 | You speak a trifle bitterly, prince--I said--"But no doubt you have had a wide experience among men?" |
| 42332 | You speak sarcastically of course? |
| 42332 | You think so? |
| 42332 | You think so? |
| 42332 | You understand I suppose, that I shall only issue two hundred and fifty copies at first? |
| 42332 | You will come, will you not? 42332 You will tell Prince Rimânez the news?" |
| 42332 | You will? |
| 42332 | You would wish to be thanked? |
| 42332 | You? 42332 Your book? |
| 42332 | Your face seems familiar to me,--she said, speaking now, as it seemed, with greater ease--"Have I ever met you before?" |
| 42332 | Your fun? |
| 42332 | _ What_ is he? |
| 42332 | ''Originally''? |
| 42332 | ''Originally''an author? |
| 42332 | ''You are not--_hic_--a poet yourself?'' |
| 42332 | --and his eyes sparkled half maliciously--"Can it be a case of genius after all? |
| 42332 | --and yet remain unspoilt and innocent? |
| 42332 | --replied Lucio, carefully drawing on his gloves as he spoke--"Where''s a copy of your book? |
| 42332 | ... or what is this terrible misgiving that is taking possession of me? |
| 42332 | ... what gem of his land was thus tenderly enshrined? |
| 42332 | ... when you know WHO I am?" |
| 42332 | ...""Have you one to give?" |
| 42332 | ...""That the dead Egyptian dancer resembled your late wife?" |
| 42332 | ..._ The_ Mr Tempest?----the great millionaire that_ was_?" |
| 42332 | 2075/ V PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN THE SORROWS OF SATAN I Do you know what it is to be poor? |
| 42332 | A few years, and we all die, and are forgotten even by those who loved us,--why should we lose such joys as we may have for the mere asking? |
| 42332 | A genius? |
| 42332 | A good woman? |
| 42332 | A saint? |
| 42332 | Afterwards however, when he had gone, she turned to me with a grin and remarked--"You saw me kiss Bertie, did n''t you? |
| 42332 | Again I asked myself-- Was there no happiness possible in all the world? |
| 42332 | Almost yourself again, eh?" |
| 42332 | Am I so repugnant to you? |
| 42332 | An angel? |
| 42332 | And I? |
| 42332 | And Sibyl only smiled, that patent ice- refrigerator smile of hers, and asked--''would you prefer to live with Mrs Catsup?'' |
| 42332 | And also about this gentleman, Mr Geoffrey Tempest?" |
| 42332 | And another thing I want to know is this-- what does he do with the other servants?" |
| 42332 | And are you not satisfied? |
| 42332 | And betray the club and all its members? |
| 42332 | And do you not owe me at least some duty?" |
| 42332 | And love-- of course you will fall in love if you have not already done so,--have you?" |
| 42332 | And perhaps a music- hall afterwards if you feel inclined,--what do you say?" |
| 42332 | And should we master it?--or would it master us? |
| 42332 | And so we are to be friends?" |
| 42332 | And that snowy palanquin, carried by lily- crowned girls, that followed his train,--who occupied it? |
| 42332 | And there are others again who get kicked and buffeted and mocked and derided----""Like Christ?" |
| 42332 | And there we have it-- how can one feel, when one''s self is so thoroughly comfortable as to be without any other feeling save that of material ease? |
| 42332 | And this is all that the culture and training of nineteenth- century civilization can do for you? |
| 42332 | And what else have you done with yourself?" |
| 42332 | And why should you wish to comfort folks who, out of their own sheer stupidity generally, get into trouble? |
| 42332 | And why? |
| 42332 | And you found him humorous, did you?" |
| 42332 | Any more of the crew afloat?" |
| 42332 | Are you cold, Sibyl?" |
| 42332 | Are you not going to entertain the Prince of Wales?--and shall anyone be more''eagerly- desired''than he? |
| 42332 | Are you not loaded with jewels?--have you not greater luxuries and liberties than a queen? |
| 42332 | Are you not one of the richest men living?" |
| 42332 | As for''despising''you, have I not said that I admire you? |
| 42332 | As indeed why should they not?" |
| 42332 | As long as no public scandal is made, what harm is done? |
| 42332 | At night, as soon as I had an opportunity of speaking to Rimânez alone, I asked him..."Did you see,----did you not recognize? |
| 42332 | At that very instant she turned to me and said--"You are the famous Mr Tempest, are you not?" |
| 42332 | At what hour would I dine? |
| 42332 | Because it''s true? |
| 42332 | Because they are able to exist independently? |
| 42332 | Besides, are you not always trying to do good?" |
| 42332 | Besides, was not I as willing to be degraded as she was to degrade me?--a very victim to my brute passions? |
| 42332 | But I am not sure whether she will receive you,--"the maid replied--"Unless you have an appointment?" |
| 42332 | But I do not think he ever quite dispossessed himself of the idea itself, did he Bentham?" |
| 42332 | But I will think about it-- where will a letter find you?" |
| 42332 | But I wish you would not analyse yourself so pitilessly,--you have such strange ideas--""You think them strange?" |
| 42332 | But I wonder where he''s going? |
| 42332 | But do you know I think your article was even cleverer?" |
| 42332 | But do you know what your music suggests?" |
| 42332 | But do you think these antics of his are mischievous?" |
| 42332 | But how to do it? |
| 42332 | But is it of much avail to be virtuous? |
| 42332 | But on this matter of Mavis Clare, can you not imagine that badness may hate goodness? |
| 42332 | But what a singularly marked antipathy, is it not? |
| 42332 | But what would you have me be? |
| 42332 | But when are we to make this sensation?" |
| 42332 | But would n''t you like to secure it for yourself?" |
| 42332 | But you, Sibyl-- why do you read such stuff?--how can you read it?" |
| 42332 | But,--where and how to send in my account with him? |
| 42332 | By the way, have you noticed how the legended God still appears to protect the house of Israel? |
| 42332 | By- the- by, where are all the''artistes,''--the musicians and dancers?" |
| 42332 | Can it be that I am losing reason and courage together? |
| 42332 | Can you not realize this, even by way of a legendary story?" |
| 42332 | Can you not understand? |
| 42332 | Can you put them in order, Amiel?" |
| 42332 | Can you reject me when I pray to you thus?--when I offer you all myself,--all that I am, or ever hope to be? |
| 42332 | Can you tell? |
| 42332 | Come along-- come and see the little American, eh? |
| 42332 | Come and dine with us, Mr Tempest,--Lucio, you bring him along with you, eh? |
| 42332 | Death? |
| 42332 | Did you ever imagine that a human being or a human conscience existed that could not be bought? |
| 42332 | Do sit down, wo n''t you?" |
| 42332 | Do you know Geoffrey, when the Judgment Day arrives, who will be among the first saints to ascend to Heaven with the sounding of trumpets?" |
| 42332 | Do you know I used to watch you playing about on the lawns at Willowsmere when I was quite a little girl?" |
| 42332 | Do you know what_ I_ felt?" |
| 42332 | Do you know, it quite frightened me?" |
| 42332 | Do you like her?" |
| 42332 | Do you mean to tell me you have no belief in a future life?" |
| 42332 | Do you mind that?" |
| 42332 | Do you not know your worst enemy?" |
| 42332 | Do you not recognise it?" |
| 42332 | Do you not think so, Geoffrey?" |
| 42332 | Do you think that ever a man was born like you?" |
| 42332 | Do_ their_ griefs affect_ you_? |
| 42332 | Does this redound to your credit? |
| 42332 | For was it possible I should ever hate him? |
| 42332 | From this point of view, am I wrong in calling my kingdom vast?--is it not almost boundless?" |
| 42332 | From what kingdom does he come?--to what nation does he belong? |
| 42332 | Genius thrives in a garret and dies in a palace,--is not that the generally accepted theory?" |
| 42332 | Good God!--what are such women as you made of? |
| 42332 | Had n''t you better inspect the property first? |
| 42332 | Has our dear railway papa''bust up''?" |
| 42332 | Have I grudged you anything? |
| 42332 | Have n''t I got_ you_ as security?" |
| 42332 | Have you never heard of it, Geoffrey? |
| 42332 | Have you never heard that?" |
| 42332 | Have you never thought out any reason why he should be the one flaw,--the one incomplete creature in a matchless Creation?" |
| 42332 | Have you no shame?" |
| 42332 | Have you no wider ambitions? |
| 42332 | Have you not the same base passions as I?--and do you not give way to them as basely? |
| 42332 | He is a born scoundrel,--and has never seen his way to being anything else,--why should you compassionate him? |
| 42332 | He paused a moment, then added--"I wonder how we have managed to get on such an absurd subject of conversation? |
| 42332 | He seeks to soar beyond the furniture man,--and who shall blame him? |
| 42332 | He smiled, a little ironically I thought, then resumed--"Well, in what, at present does your idea of enjoying your heritage consist?" |
| 42332 | Her eyes were wistful,--her face was pensive and expectant; she seemed to say,"Will the world ever know that I am here?" |
| 42332 | Here I pause and ask myself,--Was not I also a libertine? |
| 42332 | History repeats itself,--why should not lovely women repeat themselves? |
| 42332 | Honest?" |
| 42332 | How came I to write the book at all, seeing that it was utterly unlike me as I now knew myself? |
| 42332 | How can I do otherwise if I believe in heaven? |
| 42332 | How do you feel?" |
| 42332 | How should I begin the jesuitical business of committing evil that good, personal good, might come of it? |
| 42332 | How was it that Mavis Clare had telegraphed to me? |
| 42332 | How was it? |
| 42332 | Hullo, what''s this?" |
| 42332 | I am here to make friends with you if you permit,--and to put an end to ceremony, will you accompany me back to my hotel where I have ordered supper?" |
| 42332 | I answered laughing--"What do you say that for?" |
| 42332 | I ask again, will you love me, do you think? |
| 42332 | I asked him jestingly--"Do you mean it?" |
| 42332 | I asked him suddenly--"And in Satan, the Arch- Enemy of mankind?" |
| 42332 | I asked, amused--"Why do you hate the Earth? |
| 42332 | I asked, getting impatient--"Did he want to bring out some patent?--a new notion for a flying- machine, and get rid of his money in that way?" |
| 42332 | I asked--"What would you advise?" |
| 42332 | I can do nothing for you-- you will not have my aid-- you reject my service? |
| 42332 | I did not believe in a God; why should I inconsistently feel regret that she shared my unbelief? |
| 42332 | I did not know you had written one?" |
| 42332 | I echoed amazed--"You surprise me, Mavis,--what have I, or my enemies or friends to do with my wife''s last confession? |
| 42332 | I exclaimed with some astonishment--"Yours is not a title of honour only?" |
| 42332 | I exclaimed--"How can you do such an impossible thing?" |
| 42332 | I exclaimed--"Poor man!--a weak spot in his brain somewhere evidently,--or perhaps he used the expression as a mere figure of speech?" |
| 42332 | I exclaimed--"Surely he does not keep a boarding- house?" |
| 42332 | I exclaimed--"_Who_ is she?" |
| 42332 | I fancy Lady Sibyl has powerfully impressed you?" |
| 42332 | I feel most keenly----""What do you feel?" |
| 42332 | I have read all those books,--and what can you expect of me? |
| 42332 | I hope he has not hurt you?" |
| 42332 | I hope it is improper?" |
| 42332 | I hope you do not think me too proud?" |
| 42332 | I listened in silence till he had finished,--then I asked him--''Love, I suppose, is not to be considered in the matter?'' |
| 42332 | I may do what I choose with you, you say? |
| 42332 | I murmured,--somehow the idea pleased me--"Yes,----why not?" |
| 42332 | I peered into her face,--then at the reflection of that face in the mirror,--and again I grew perplexed,--was it, could it be Sibyl after all? |
| 42332 | I please your fancy, do I not?" |
| 42332 | I repeated bewilderedly--"What on earth do you mean?" |
| 42332 | I repeated bitterly--"How has it been obtained? |
| 42332 | I repeated slowly--"or a devil? |
| 42332 | I repeated--"What do you mean?" |
| 42332 | I said roughly--"You can be frank with me, you know,--angel or devil-- which?" |
| 42332 | I said warmly--"I really am surprised that Lord Elton should condescend----""Condescend to what?" |
| 42332 | I said''Are n''t you going too?'' |
| 42332 | I said, pleased at the friendly familiarity he displayed in thus calling me by my Christian name--"What have you got there?" |
| 42332 | I said--"Would He,--the Divine Brother and Friend of man,--reject me?" |
| 42332 | I said--"You do not really believe what you say?" |
| 42332 | I said--"You yourself are unusually rich,--are you sorry for it?" |
| 42332 | I stared at the twain with dry burning eyes,--what did this portend? |
| 42332 | I started up listening, every nerve strained----Ahrimanes?--or Rimânez? |
| 42332 | I suppose my looks expressed my thoughts, for Rimânez, who had observed me intently, presently added--"Did he not tell you of his luck? |
| 42332 | I suppose you were-- originally I mean-- an author by profession?" |
| 42332 | I suppose you''re one of the richest men about just now, are n''t you?" |
| 42332 | I thought of Sibyl and her incomparable beauty----Sibyl, who had told me she could not love,--had we both to learn a lesson? |
| 42332 | I took possession of this one myself in rather a weird fashion,--will the story bore you?" |
| 42332 | I watched him for a moment,--then with sudden irrelevance I said--"Put that abominable''sprite''of yours away, will you? |
| 42332 | I whispered--"Sibyl, what is wrong with us both? |
| 42332 | I wonder how she does it, Geoffrey?" |
| 42332 | I wonder why it is that some women are so fond of playing the hypocrite in love? |
| 42332 | I? |
| 42332 | I?" |
| 42332 | If I offer you a chance to turn an honest penny shall your paid pack of''readers''prevent your accepting it? |
| 42332 | If I seem churlish I''m sorry-- but the fact is I am disgusted...""At what?" |
| 42332 | If a lady has lovers, and her husband beams benevolence on the situation what can be said? |
| 42332 | If we do things that shame our sex, is it not because you set us the example? |
| 42332 | If you have finished your tea, will you come and see them?" |
| 42332 | If you remember, you promised to explain it to me----""Are you ready to receive such an explanation?" |
| 42332 | In the same bitter school, under the same formidable taskmaster? |
| 42332 | In these''matters scientific''you have not tested my skill,--yet you ask--''how can I know?'' |
| 42332 | Innocent?--ignorant? |
| 42332 | Is Morris disgusted or alarmed?" |
| 42332 | Is it well or ill for us I wonder, that the future is hidden from our knowledge? |
| 42332 | Is there a more flagrant example of topsy- turveydom than yourself for instance? |
| 42332 | Is there a time on which you can look back, and looking, see my face, not here but elsewhere? |
| 42332 | It is Nature''s revenge on the outraged body,--and do you know, Eternity''s revenge on the impure Soul is extremely similar?" |
| 42332 | It may be only an attempt?" |
| 42332 | It was very good of him to lend it to me,--you had better have it as security for this pocket- book,--by- the- bye how much is there inside it?" |
| 42332 | Know you not that the changeless, yet ever- changing Essence of Immortal Life can take a million million shapes and yet remain unalterably the same? |
| 42332 | Love and joy? |
| 42332 | Madame"--here he addressed Lady Elton;"are you fond of music?" |
| 42332 | May I stay a little?" |
| 42332 | May I your study?" |
| 42332 | May we ask whether you require any cash advances immediately?" |
| 42332 | My darling, what do you take me for?--what is all this nonsense in your mind about buying and selling? |
| 42332 | No? |
| 42332 | Now I make no pretences of the kind,--I have only one faith--""And that is?" |
| 42332 | Now as to this five hundred"--"Keep it, man, keep it"--he interposed impatiently--"What do you talk about security for? |
| 42332 | Now, how had this happened, I asked myself? |
| 42332 | Or are you tired, and would you prefer a long night''s rest?" |
| 42332 | Or could this startling, this stupendous piece of information be really true? |
| 42332 | Or found a newspaper? |
| 42332 | Or in other words how do you mean to begin spending your money?" |
| 42332 | Or,--did she mean to bewitch and subjugate Lucio? |
| 42332 | Papa, are you an extemporized fire- screen?" |
| 42332 | Particularly the''base usurer''who is allowed to get the unhappy Christian into his clutches nine times out of ten? |
| 42332 | People must look after themselves you know-- eh?" |
| 42332 | Reform her? |
| 42332 | Reform myself? |
| 42332 | Shall I enumerate them for your consideration?" |
| 42332 | Shall I read your petition for forgiveness here?" |
| 42332 | Shall we see what she is like?" |
| 42332 | She looked at me in the same way again and said--''To the_ Catsups_? |
| 42332 | She writes with inspiration,--and always has something so new to say--""That of course all the critics are down upon her?" |
| 42332 | Should my present apartment be retained?--or was it not satisfactory? |
| 42332 | Should we steer our ways clearer from evil if we knew its result? |
| 42332 | Six weeks ago, what were you? |
| 42332 | Such a love as yours!--what is it? |
| 42332 | Surely_ you_ know that?" |
| 42332 | Take Mavis Clare----""Oh, you were thinking of Mavis Clare, were you?" |
| 42332 | Tell me,--think for a moment!--can you remember me? |
| 42332 | That I did this very melodramatically I hope you will admit? |
| 42332 | That is what I do occasionally,--you would not think it of me, would you?" |
| 42332 | That the confirmed drunkard may hate the sober citizen? |
| 42332 | That the outcast may hate the innocent maiden? |
| 42332 | The remark they usually made to me wherever I went was--"You have written a novel, have n''t you? |
| 42332 | The sooner I interview them the better,--don''t you think so?" |
| 42332 | Then he glanced up at me with a half- smile--"Would you like to see a city resuscitated?" |
| 42332 | Then turning to us, she went on--"Isn''t he a lovely owl? |
| 42332 | Then, if you are alive, where are you, Sibyl?----where are you?" |
| 42332 | This is the end of March,--will you be ready to marry me in June?" |
| 42332 | Thursday shall it be?" |
| 42332 | To kill the poor thing who managed to find life in the very bosom of death, is a cruel suggestion, is it not? |
| 42332 | Was I going mad, or sickening for a fever? |
| 42332 | Was I not one still? |
| 42332 | Was I to be given credit for nothing but my banking- book? |
| 42332 | Was he afraid I might trouble him for further loans? |
| 42332 | Was he-- my friend-- a traitor? |
| 42332 | Was human nature as base and abandoned as this man declared it to be? |
| 42332 | Was it indeed my wife?--this frozen statue of a woman, watching her own impassive image thus intently? |
| 42332 | Was it my fancy, or had his musical voice the faintest touch of a sneer as he uttered the last words? |
| 42332 | Was it my fancy-- or did I hear peals of wild laughter circling round the brilliant pavilion and echoing away, far away into distance? |
| 42332 | Was it then merely a vision I had seen?--a ghastly sort of nightmare? |
| 42332 | Was she Mavis Clare? |
| 42332 | Was she,--was Sibyl-- more to blame than I myself for all the strange havoc wrought? |
| 42332 | Was she-- my wife-- false? |
| 42332 | Was there no God but Lust? |
| 42332 | We have more knowledge you will say,--but how can we be sure of that? |
| 42332 | We''ve got three or four hours to spare before we take the train back to town,--suppose we take a saunter through the grounds?" |
| 42332 | Well!--millionaire as you are, and acknowledged lion of society as you shortly will be, there is no objection I hope, to the proposed supper? |
| 42332 | Well, I flared up, and said of course I thought it possible,--why should n''t it be possible? |
| 42332 | Well, what are you going to do?" |
| 42332 | Well,--after all, why should I expect him to be different to other men? |
| 42332 | Well,--and are you not famous?" |
| 42332 | Were men and women lower and more depraved in their passions and appetites than the very beasts? |
| 42332 | What are you?--why do you talk to me so strangely? |
| 42332 | What belongs to the earth tends earthwards,--surely you realize that? |
| 42332 | What can be done against her? |
| 42332 | What could I do with a woman such as she to whom I was now bound for life? |
| 42332 | What dark cloud is on your mind? |
| 42332 | What did she mean? |
| 42332 | What do you mean? |
| 42332 | What do you propose to make of your life? |
| 42332 | What do you take me for?" |
| 42332 | What does it mean?" |
| 42332 | What had I done, I demanded indignantly of myself, to deserve this wretchedness which no wealth could cure?--why was fate so unjust? |
| 42332 | What had I done? |
| 42332 | What had I missed out of life? |
| 42332 | What has the poor little planet done to merit your abhorrence?" |
| 42332 | What have I seen in you from day to day that I should take you as an example? |
| 42332 | What have_ you_ done for your fellow- men? |
| 42332 | What have_ you_ done, you as my husband, to change those ideas? |
| 42332 | What if death were not what the scientists deem it,--suppose it were another form of life? |
| 42332 | What is it worth?" |
| 42332 | What is it? |
| 42332 | What is your story about? |
| 42332 | What more do you want of Fate or Fortune? |
| 42332 | What pleasure comes from goodness?--what gratification from self- denial? |
| 42332 | What shall we do with the rest of the evening? |
| 42332 | What should I do then? |
| 42332 | What was it all about? |
| 42332 | What was the''something alarming''that had happened? |
| 42332 | What will you take to bring it out?" |
| 42332 | What_ can_ there be wrong about you, Tempest? |
| 42332 | When I asked if you were the famous Mr Tempest, I meant to say were you the great millionaire who has been so much talked of lately?" |
| 42332 | When the thunder crashes down a second after the lightning, does it not seem to you that the very clouds combine in the holy war? |
| 42332 | When would I be pleased to lunch? |
| 42332 | Where are you off to?" |
| 42332 | Where in the world did you study?" |
| 42332 | Where were you wrecked? |
| 42332 | Where?" |
| 42332 | Which would you say she is?--you, who sometimes declare that you believe in Heaven,--and Hell?" |
| 42332 | Whither were we bound? |
| 42332 | Who is your presenter?" |
| 42332 | Who will believe that anything so strange and terrific ever chanced to the lot of a mortal man? |
| 42332 | Who will credit it? |
| 42332 | Whom do you mean?" |
| 42332 | Why could I not answer? |
| 42332 | Why did I not start a theatre? |
| 42332 | Why did you not come out of the shadow of that elm- tree and see the play to a better advantage?" |
| 42332 | Why did you stop so long in front of the daïs?" |
| 42332 | Why do you strive to fathom their mysteries and movements? |
| 42332 | Why had I thus invited the public to accept me at a false valuation? |
| 42332 | Why should n''t a book get noticed on its own merits without any appeal to cliquism and influential wire- pulling on the press?" |
| 42332 | Why should the wicked flourish like a green bay- tree? |
| 42332 | Why should they? |
| 42332 | Why should you call curses down upon me? |
| 42332 | Why then should I be blamed or my desires considered criminal? |
| 42332 | Why was it? |
| 42332 | Why, in Heaven''s name do you not give it way?" |
| 42332 | Why, the very love that now consumes me is----""What?" |
| 42332 | Why, what harm has this Mavis Clare done to you? |
| 42332 | Will they be taught, I wonder, the lesson I have learned? |
| 42332 | Will you come on to my club and dine with me?" |
| 42332 | Will you come?" |
| 42332 | Will you come?" |
| 42332 | Will you give me the name and address of the agents?" |
| 42332 | Will you risk that non- existent quantity for the chance of winning a thousand pounds?" |
| 42332 | Wilt thou serve Self and Me? |
| 42332 | Win fame,--true fame,--after all? |
| 42332 | Wo n''t you sit down?" |
| 42332 | Would I prefer a''suite''similar to that occupied by his excellency? |
| 42332 | Would you believe it, that before we reached Chamounix we had become the best friends in the world? |
| 42332 | Would you have me tell humbugs that I know them as such?,--and liars that I discern their lies? |
| 42332 | Would you have them all the slaves of man''s lust or convenience? |
| 42332 | Yet of what use is it to pray against eternal Law? |
| 42332 | Yet what she said was in no way contrary to my own theories,--how then could I complain? |
| 42332 | You can fancy a''swagger''lady of Elizabeth''s time asking a friend--''O do you mind, my dear, if I bring one Master William Shakespeare to see you? |
| 42332 | You dare to talk of love? |
| 42332 | You expected to see an old man you say? |
| 42332 | You have lately spoken of buying a country estate-- what say you to Willowsmere Court in Warwickshire? |
| 42332 | You imply that I assert my wealth in my face; do you know what_ you_ assert in your every glance and gesture?" |
| 42332 | You know Who it was that said''Bless them that curse you, and do good to them that hate you''? |
| 42332 | You know that my wife poisoned herself intentionally?" |
| 42332 | You know the words,''Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil''? |
| 42332 | You know they do not,--you know you never think of them,--why should you? |
| 42332 | You look incredulous? |
| 42332 | You remember what Shelley wrote of critics? |
| 42332 | You seem to take a perverse delight in running yourself down!--but you know the old adage,''the devil is not so black as he is painted''?" |
| 42332 | You shudder?--the thought of her hideousness is repellent to your self- conscious beauty? |
| 42332 | Your house- party is fixed for September, I believe?" |
| 42332 | Your''cursed luck''you think, has caused Lynton''s death? |
| 42332 | _ She_ thought as I do,--and with reason,--for what has God done for her? |
| 42332 | _ You_ are going to buy Willowsmere?" |
| 42332 | and I felt distinctly annoyed--"You do n''t think my book original enough to stand alone?" |
| 42332 | and I stopped to gaze intently into her fair face--"And how did you learn?" |
| 42332 | and he laughed bitterly--"Have you not found that out yet? |
| 42332 | and he pointed to a mass of white bloom in one of the windows--"Are they not far more beautiful creatures than men and women? |
| 42332 | and he smiled apologetically--"a little brusque? |
| 42332 | and he smiled;"Can you not explain?" |
| 42332 | and her blue eyes danced with fun as she handed me my cup of tea--"You really do n''t suppose I was hurt by your critique, do you? |
| 42332 | and she drew a flower from the knot at her bosom, and began fastening it in my coat--"Geoffrey what is the good of pretence? |
| 42332 | and she raised her arms with a tragic gesture;"Is there any flaw in the piece of goods you wish to purchase? |
| 42332 | are you not?" |
| 42332 | asked Sibyl suddenly, apparently to change the subject--"Why does he so seldom come here now?" |
| 42332 | continued Lady Sibyl, in accents of studied courtesy--"Would you not like to come nearer the fire?" |
| 42332 | echoed Lady Sibyl,--"Do you believe the world will ever come to an end?" |
| 42332 | echoed Mavis surprisedly--"Does he hate women? |
| 42332 | echoed Sibyl--"But you surely will not leave us so soon? |
| 42332 | exclaimed Lord Elton at this juncture--"You do n''t look it, does he Charlotte?" |
| 42332 | exclaimed Lord Elton--"you do n''t call this play low or immoral do you? |
| 42332 | have they had supper?" |
| 42332 | he answered, his accents vibrating with intense melancholy--"Can you think I am happy? |
| 42332 | he asked derisively--"Is it not already disposed of? |
| 42332 | he asked--"Weary of those two suggestions of eternity-- the interminable sky, the interminable sea? |
| 42332 | he demanded somewhat impatiently--"Do you think_ anything_ in the world is done without money? |
| 42332 | he exclaimed cheerfully--"Why do n''t you light up?" |
| 42332 | he exclaimed with a laugh--"Why so cruel to her Geoffrey? |
| 42332 | he exclaimed--"You do n''t mean to tell me you have written a novel Mr Tempest?" |
| 42332 | he queried half playfully, half ironically--"Like a football, waiting to be kicked? |
| 42332 | he responded--"Shall I enter a horse for you?" |
| 42332 | he retorted--"and do I not speak for myself? |
| 42332 | he said still smiling--"you really think so? |
| 42332 | he said--"Do you want to be called up to identify? |
| 42332 | he said--"Nothing but perfect beauty will suit you, eh? |
| 42332 | he said--"Will you love me then?" |
| 42332 | he went on--"Going to try and place that unlucky novel? |
| 42332 | he went on--"Have not they, and the unthinking churches, proclaimed a lie against me, saying that I rejoice in evil? |
| 42332 | inquired Lucio--"Condescend to take two thousand guineas a year? |
| 42332 | now?" |
| 42332 | or God only?" |
| 42332 | or some- one sent to say that the novelist could not receive us? |
| 42332 | pursued Sibyl--"Or because you wished to add dignity to your own position by wedding the daughter of an Earl? |
| 42332 | queried Lucio, laughing--"Or with disgust?" |
| 42332 | said Lucio with an air of pious rapture--"and why? |
| 42332 | said Mavis, addressing the spiteful- looking creature in the sweetest of accents--"Haven''t you found any mice to kill to- day? |
| 42332 | save repent,--and could repentance at so late an hour fit the laws of eternal justice? |
| 42332 | she asked laughing,--such a delicious little low laugh--"Because I tell you the truth? |
| 42332 | she cried--"Is this the prince''s idea?" |
| 42332 | she demanded--"For my sake or your own?" |
| 42332 | she exclaimed, laughing also,"Why, you do n''t suppose you can give any sort of big entertainment without them do you? |
| 42332 | she murmured--"Have you a heart? |
| 42332 | she rejoined, with a faint mocking smile--"And why, being made as I am, was I born an Earl''s daughter? |
| 42332 | she repeated wonderingly--"Do I not know? |
| 42332 | she said laughing--"Are they not pretty creatures? |
| 42332 | she said quickly, her eyes flashing as she spoke--"My ideas have been repugnant to you, you say? |
| 42332 | she said, surveying me critically--"Why, it''s simply splendid for you is n''t it? |
| 42332 | what else did you expect? |
| 42332 | what shall I say?" |
