43886And dost thou say so, my dear?
43886But did you not,said he,"when you were at a stand, pluck out and read your note?"
43886But,said Christian,"are there no turns or bends by which one who has not trod it may lose his way?"
43886Look, doth it not go straight on by the side of the way?
43886Look,said Christian,"did not I tell you so?
43886Well, then,said Faithful,"what is that one thing that we shall at this time found our speech on?"
43886And why should a man run such risks, just on the word of a strange guide?"
43886And with that he saw Evangelist come forth to meet him; and thus did he speak with Christian:"What dost thou here?"
43886At last one came to the door, and did ask who was there?
43886At last there came a grave man to the gate, whose name was Goodwill, who sought to know who was there?
43886At this Pliable said in sharp tones,"Is this the bliss you have told me all this while of?
43886But I pray, will you tell me why you ask me such things?"
43886But are these things to form our bliss?
43886But did you not see the house that stood there on the top of the hill, on the side of which Moses met you?"
43886But were you led by him?"
43886But what is the next thing by which you would prove to make known the work of grace in the heart?"
43886But when the man at the lodge, whose name is Watchful, saw that Christian made a halt, he did cry to him and say,"Is thy strength so small?
43886But, my good mate, do you know the way to this place?"
43886But, when I got free from the shock, I would know why it was he dealt with me so?
43886Did not the Shepherds bid us take heed of the Flatterer?
43886Hath it not let some in their way?"
43886He did ask them,"Why?"
43886He said, too, that faith made a man grow strange to the great, and made him own and prize the base:''and is not this,''said he,''a shame?''"
43886He then, in this gear, came out with his friends to the gate, and there he would know of the Porter"if he saw one pass by?"
43886He would know, too,"If the Shepherds did not bid them take heed of the Flatterer?"
43886How far do you think he may be on the road?"
43886How is it, then, that thou hast run off from thy king?
43886How shall we get to share in them?"
43886I then saw a man whose name was Evangelist come to him and ask,"Why dost thou cry?"
43886I then would know what kin he had?
43886If we have such ill speed as we first set out, what may we not look for ere the time we get to the end of our road?
43886In what, now, is thy state a whit more good than ours?"
43886Is there hope?
43886It will not be said then,''Did you have faith?''
43886Look right in front of thee; dost thou see this strait way?
43886May I now go back and go up to the small gate?
43886Now, as they came up to these parts, lo, the Gardener stood in the way; to whom the men said,"Whose fine vine and fruit grounds are these?"
43886Shall I not be sent back from thence in shame?"
43886So Christian came up with him once more, and said,"Sir, is not your name Mr. By- ends, of Fair- speech?"
43886So they drew up nigh him, who thus held speech with them:_ Chr._--"Sirs, whence came you, and where do you go?"
43886So when he was got in, the man of the gate said to him,"Who told him to come to that place?"
43886The Porter, in like way, sought to know whence he was; and to what place he was bound?
43886The Shepherds then said,"Did you not see, a short way down these mounts, a stile that leads to a mead on the left hand of this way?"
43886The man read it, and said,"To what place must I flee?"
43886The name of the one was Timorous, and of the next Mistrust; to whom Christian said,"Sirs, what doth ail you?
43886Then Christian did call to Demas, and said,"Is not the way rife with risks?
43886Then Christian did call to him,"Come you on, man: why do you stay back so?"
43886Then Faithful gave a step forth once more, and said to Talkative,"Come, what cheer?
43886Then I did ask his name, and where he dwelt?
43886Then did Christian muse thus:"These beasts range in the night for their prey; and if they should meet with me in the dark, how should I shift them?
43886Then did the men talk of the best course to take; and thus they spoke:"Friend,"said Christian,"what shall we do?
43886Then he did ask them and said,"Where did you lie the last night?"
43886Then said Charity to Christian,"Have you bairns, and have you a wife?"
43886Then said Christian to Hopeful( but in a soft voice),"Did I not tell you he sought to shirk us?
43886Then said Christian to the Porter,"Sir, what house is this?
43886Then said Christian,"Is there no hope, but you must be kept in the steel cage of gloom?"
43886Then said Christian,"What doth this mean?"
43886Then said Christian,"What means this?"
43886Then said Christian,"What means this?"
43886Then said Christian,"What means this?"
43886Then said Christian,"What means this?"
43886Then said Christian,"Why doth this man thus shake?"
43886Then said Evangelist to him,"Art not thou the man that I found in tears back of the walls of the City of Destruction?"
43886Then said Evangelist,"Do you see yon small gate?"
43886Then said Evangelist,"How did it fare with you, my friends, since the time we last did part?
43886Then said Evangelist,"If this be thy state, why dost thou stand still?"
43886Then said Evangelist,"Why not will to die, since this life is full of ills?"
43886Then said Hopeful to the Shepherds,"I see that these had on them, each one, a show of the road, as we have now, had they not?"
43886Then said Pliable,"Ah, friend Christian, where are you now?"
43886Then said he,"Friends, for what are ye come?"
43886Then said the Interpreter to Christian,"Hast thou thought well on all these things?"
43886Then said the Shepherds, each to his friend,"Shall we show these wights with staves some strange sights?"
43886Then said the old man,''Thou dost look like a frank soul: wilt thou stay and dwell with me for the pay that I shall give thee?''
43886These men then did ask,"What must we do in this pure place?"
43886This done, he spoke to Evangelist in words and sense thus:_ Chr._--"Sir, what think you?
43886To this man Faithful spoke in such wise:"Friend, to what place dost thou go?
43886Well, when they, as I said, did greet in turn, Mr. Money- love said to Mr. By- ends,"Who are they on the road right in front of us?"
43886What shall we do to be rid of him?"
43886When Christ said,''Do you know all these things?''
43886When I came to the foot of the hill known as Difficulty, I met with an old man, who would know what I was, and to what place I was bound?
43886When he was come to the place where they were, he did ask them whence they came, and what they did there?
43886[ Illustration: Faithful saw a man whose name is Talkative, who said,"Friend, to what place dost thou go?
43886[ Illustration:"Come on, man, why do you stay back so?"
43886_ Apol._--"Thou hast erst been false in thy turns to serve him; and how dost thou think to get pay of him?"
43886_ Apol._--"Whence came you?
43886_ Char._--"And why did you not bring them on with you?"
43886_ Char._--"But did you not with your vain life damp all that you by words made use of as force to bring them off with you?"
43886_ Char._--"But what could they say to show cause why they came not?"
43886_ Chr._--"And what did you say to him?"
43886_ Chr._--"But canst thou not now grieve and turn?"
43886_ Chr._--"But how didst thou get in this state?"
43886_ Chr._--"But how do you think to get in at the gate?
43886_ Chr._--"But what have you to show at that gate, that the gate should be flung wide to you?"
43886_ Chr._--"But what was it that made you so quake at this sight?"
43886_ Chr._--"But will it not be thought a wrong done to the Lord of the town where we are bound, thus to break his law which he hath made known to us?"
43886_ Chr._--"But, pray tell me, did you meet with no one in the Vale of Humility?"
43886_ Chr._--"Do you not know that one of the Shepherds bid us take heed of the Enchanted Ground?
43886_ Chr._--"Is this the way to the Celestial City?"
43886_ Chr._--"Met you with naught else in that vale?"
43886_ Chr._--"Pray did you know him?"
43886_ Chr._--"Pray, sir, what may I call you?"
43886_ Chr._--"Sir, which is the way to this good man''s house?"
43886_ Chr._--"Well, and what close came the old man and you to at last?"
43886_ Chr._--"Well, but what art thou now?"
43886_ Chr._--"Why came you not in at the gate which stands at the head of the way?"
43886_ Chr._--"Why, what did he say to you?"
43886_ Chr._--"You say true: but did you meet none else in that vale?"
43886_ Evan._--"What said that squire to you?"
43886_ Fai._--"Do you know him then?"
43886_ Fai._--"It is this: do you in your heart feel this first part of what I said of it?
43886_ Fai._--"Say you so?
43886_ Fai._--"Well, if you will not, will you give me leave to do it?"
43886_ Fai._--"What would you have me to do?"
43886_ Good._--"But did none of them go in quest of you, to urge you to go back?"
43886_ Good._--"But how is it that no one came with you?"
43886_ Good._--"But why did he not come through?"
43886_ Good._--"Did one or more of them know that you meant to come here?"
43886_ Good._--"Oh, did he light on you?
43886_ Hope._--"But how if this path should lead us out of the way?"
43886_ Hope._--"How far might they go on in the way, in their days, since they, in spite of this, were thus cast off?"
43886_ Hope._--"Why, my friend?
43886_ Pi._--"And what saw you else in the way?"
43886_ Pi._--"But did you not come by the house of the Interpreter?"
43886_ Pi._--"But you saw more than this, did you not?"
43886_ Pi._--"How was it that you came out of your land in this way?"
43886_ Pilgrim''s Progress._]_ Chr._--"Who was that that bid him stay his hand?"
43886_ Pli._--"And do you think that your book is true?"
43886_ Pli._--"This is right good; and what else?"
43886_ Por._--"But how doth it hap that you come so late?
43886_ Pr._--"And what is it that makes you so long to go to Mount Zion?"
43886_ Pr._--"Do you not yet bear hence with you some of the things that you well knew there?"
43886_ Pr._--"Do you think at times of the land from whence you came?"
43886_ Wor._--"But why wilt thou seek for ease this way, as such dire ills go with it?
43886_ Wor._--"How now, good friend; where dost thou go bent down with such a weight?"
43886_ Wor._--"Who bid thee go this way to be rid of thy load?"
43886_ Wor._--"Wilt thou give heed to me, if I tell thee what course to take?"
43886and by what means have you so held on in it?
43886and doth your life and walk bear proof of the same?"
43886and how got you in the way?
43886and may I lodge here this night?"
43886and to what place are you bound?"
43886and what he would have?
43886and whence he came?
43886and whose be the sheep that fed on them?"
43886but''Did you_ do_ or_ talk_?''
43886by what tongue or pen can such vast joy be told?
43886dost thou go to the blest land?"
43886dost thou go to the blest land?"
43886how is it now?"
43886how should I get free from their fangs?
43886said Faithful to his friend,"who comes yon?"
43886said Obstinate,"I heed not your book: will you go back with us or no?"
43886said Obstinate,"and leave our friends and all that brings us joy and ease?"
43886what have you met with, and what has been your life?"
43886why did they not stay; that we might have gone on with them?
11025And a wheelbarrow to carry home the fish, sir?
11025And did you throw off the old Creeds for the sake of the civilisation which you fancied that they forbid?
11025And for me also?
11025And in the meanwhile claim him as a new verger for the Reformed Church Catholic?
11025And what was that then?
11025And which effect, I presume, was not increased by her denying to you any share in the same?
11025And yet you say you can not answer the Professor?
11025Before that event happened, my dear fellow? 11025 But are you not asking me to do just the same, when you propose to me to start as a Scientific Dialectician?"
11025But can you submit quietly to such a barefaced contradiction?
11025But how can I tell, Socrates?
11025But how will proving to me that certain people once thought a thing right prove to me that it is right? 11025 But if each is equally sincere in speaking what he believes, is not each equally moved by the spirit of truth?"
11025But why not ignore it, if mother- wit does as well?
11025But you do n''t mean to assert that there is nothing in any of these theories?
11025By the American professor? 11025 Can one help being severe when one hears irreverence poured forth from reverend lips?
11025Certainly not,said I;"why do you haggle so, Alcibiades?"
11025Common Sense? 11025 Did I not tell you,"interrupted Alcibiades,"how the old deceiver would try to put me to bed of some dead puppy or log?
11025Do you really wish to know?
11025How can I tell?
11025How so, thou hair- splitter?
11025How so? 11025 How then, hair- splitter?
11025How then?
11025I am therefore, it seems, to get up Platonic Dialectics simply in order to teach my ploughmen to use their common sense?
11025I? 11025 My dear fellow, may not a man employ Reason, or any other common human faculty, all his life, and yet employ them very clumsily and defectively?"
11025No reason? 11025 Not quite an animal yet, it seems?"
11025Obscure and ancient? 11025 So the Professor''s grandchildren will have either turned Papists, or be bowing down before rusty locomotives and broken electric telegraphs?
11025What do you mean?
11025What next?
11025What next?
11025What now?
11025What then?
11025What trap are you laying now? 11025 What?
11025What? 11025 Which you would have me disperse by lightning- flashes of Dialectics, eh?
11025Which, then?
11025Why not? 11025 Why not?
11025Why not?
11025Why so?
11025Why so?
11025Why then?
11025Why''but''? 11025 Why, what are Dialectics, or any other scientific method, but conscious common sense?
11025Why, what on earth have you to do but to abhor and flee me?
11025Why?
11025Would the doctor visit you the less, because it was your own fault that your head ached?
11025Would you call Dick Turpin a good man, because he was a good highwayman?
11025Would your having a headache be a reason for the medical man''s running away from you, or coming to visit you?
11025You recollect to whom the Bible applies that text?
11025''-What do you suppose Protagoras would be able to answer, if he faced the question boldly?"
11025Alcibiades distinguishes, he says, between objective fact and subjective opinion?"
11025And so-""And so what?"
11025And what is common sense, but unconscious scientific method?
11025Are you about to''gib''after all, just as I was flattering myself that I had broken you in to go quietly in harness?"
11025But can you not understand, now, the causes of my sympathy even with Windrush and his''spirit of truth''?"
11025But does it not follow, that when you were enamoured of this spirit, you did not possess it?"
11025But how comes it then that you and Phaethon can not agree?"
11025But if I did not possess the spirit of truth, how could I see any truth whatsoever?"
11025But in the meantime- was it my fault?
11025But is it any wiser to say:''Go to, I will be conscious of being unconscious of being conscious of my own forms of thought''?
11025But tell me first- What has all this to do with your evident sympathy for a man so unlike yourself as Professor Windrush?"
11025But tell me now, Alcibiades, did the opinion of Protagoras altogether please you?"
11025But tell me, Alcibiades, with what matters does religion deal?"
11025But tell me- Is not the man who does what he believes, as much moved by this your spirit of truth as he who says what he believes?"
11025But tell me- a horse, when he shies at a beggar, does not he also do so by the spirit of truth?
11025But then- if she is wrong, is he right?
11025But what are these faculties, so strangely beyond my friend Templeton''s reach?
11025But what did you think of him?"
11025But what has happened to you, who are not as apt as I am to do nothing by trying to do two things at once?"
11025But why are you both here so early, before any business is stirring?"
11025But you, Phaethon"( turning to me),"how did you like the periods of Protagoras?"
11025But, my friend, used we not to read Plato together, and enjoy him together, in old Cambridge days?
11025But, my good friend, you surely do not take Professor Windrush for a fair sample of the great American people?"
11025But, tell me, what was it in his oratory which has so vexed the soul of the country squire?"
11025But, tell me- We agree that Zeus''s conception of his own justice will be exactly commensurate with his justice?"
11025Can truth do anything but conquer?"
11025Can we find no escape?"
11025Did I not just say that any man might be a dialectician?
11025Do you not see that?"
11025Do you not think that Socrates might at all events have driven the Professor into a corner?"
11025Eh?"
11025For he who possesses a thing can surely employ it freely for all purposes which are not contrary to the nature of that thing; can he not?"
11025For we have been all along defining truth to be''facts as they are,''have we not?"
11025Have you forgotten his vindication of your friend, the radical voter, and his''spirit of truth''?"
11025How are intellectual things defined, Phaethon?
11025How can I be anything but a wretched dilettante, when I have no principles to ground my criticism on, beyond bosh about''The Beautiful''?
11025How do I know?
11025How do you define it?"
11025How do you know that he is not fighting for wife and child, and the altars of his gods?
11025How do you know till you have tried, whether I can help you or not?"
11025How does that derogate in any wise from her excellence?"
11025How then can we obtain such a spirit ourselves?"
11025I suppose I do not belong to such a very bad sort of men, but that it may be worth my while to become a good specimen of it?"
11025I try to make the boys grow up plucky and knowing- though what''s the use of it?
11025If one should mistake concerning God, will his error be one of excess, or defect?"
11025If you made a mistake concerning numbers, as that twice two made five, might it not be hurtful to you?"
11025In the very Creed which excludes me?"
11025Is it not certain that two equally honest men may differ in their opinions on the same matter?"
11025Is it not so?"
11025Is not Zeus more perfect than all other beings?"
11025Is not that, now, a pretty fair formulisation of his doctrine?"
11025Is that, then, what you were writing about all last night?"
11025It seems that you thought you found in that school a wider creed than the one to which you had been accustomed?"
11025Nevertheless, shall I tell you a myth?"
11025Now tell me, can the less see the greater as it is?"
11025Only she would then be saying what is not true?"
11025P."But shall we despise and hate such, Oh Socrates?"
11025P."But why one of the greatest?"
11025P."How so?"
11025P."Restrain the spirit of truth, Socrates?"
11025P."What, then, are we to say of those who speak fearlessly and openly their own opinions on every subject?
11025P."Why then?"
11025S."-Though not necessarily true objectively, that is, absolutely and in itself?"
11025S."And belonging to him?"
11025S."And conversely?"
11025S."And does not the same thing follow from what we said just now, that God''s conceptions of himself must be the only perfect conceptions of him?
11025S."And doing- what, with regard to facts as they are?
11025S."And he who discovers facts as they are, discovers truth; while he who discovers facts as they are not, discovers falsehood?"
11025S."And in this case also, be punished, not by any anger of the lyre against you, but by those very necessary laws of music which you had mistaken?"
11025S."And is one in love with that which is oneself, or with that which is not?"
11025S."And processes for what purpose?"
11025S."And so be punished, not by any anger of two and two against you, but by those very necessary laws of number, which you had mistaken?"
11025S."And so on of each of his other properties?"
11025S."And therefore his error concerning Zeus, would be in this case an error of defect?"
11025S."And therefore to be less just, according to the argument, than he really is?"
11025S."And when it is a fact as it is not, it is objectively false; for such a fact would not be true absolutely, and in itself, would it?"
11025S."But does not that seem to you hurtful?"
11025S."But if he sees anything only as it seems to him, and is not in fact, he will not, with regard to that thing, see it by the spirit of truth?"
11025S."But if, again, she said the same thing to Phaethon, she would still speak by the spirit of truth?"
11025S."But man''s conception thereof, it has been agreed, would be certainly less perfect than Zeus''s?"
11025S."But not, I presume, between objective truth and subjective truth, whereof Protagoras spoke?"
11025S."But perhaps it might see them as they are, and find it expedient, being of the same temperament as I, to hold its tongue about them?
11025S."But possibly true so?"
11025S."But what shall we say that this expression, in its turn, means?
11025S."Can lifeless and material things see?"
11025S."Did we not prove just now concerning Zeus, that all mistakes concerning him were certain to be mistakes of defect?"
11025S."From me, good fellow?"
11025S."Have we not proved it to be common to man and animals; but are not those passions which we have in common with animals to be restrained?"
11025S."Here, then, is another case in which it seems proper to restrain the spirit of truth, whatsoever it may be?"
11025S."It was agreed, then, that he who does what he thinks right, does so by the spirit of truth- was it not?"
11025S."Man, then, it seems, would always conceive God to be less just than God conceives himself to be?"
11025S."My fine fellow, and wherefore?
11025S."My good friend, would it not be exactly commensurate with that justice of his?"
11025S."Now, tell me- a thing is objectively true, is it not, when it is a fact as it is?"
11025S."Of facts as they are, or as they are not?"
11025S."Of whom you were not speaking, when you spoke of the spirit of truth?"
11025S."Or if you mistook concerning a brave man, believing him to be a coward, might not this also be hurtful to you?
11025S."Shall we rather say, then, that you were enamoured, not of truth itself, but of the spirit of truth?
11025S."Suppose, then, that he conceived of one of his own properties, such as his justice; how large would that perfect conception of his be?"
11025S."Tell me now, does one long for that which one possesses, or for that which one does not possess?"
11025S."Tell me, Phaethon, is not God to be numbered among facts as they are?"
11025S."The man then who possesses the spirit of truth will see facts as they are?"
11025S."Then he who eats when he thinks that he ought to eat, does so by the spirit of truth?"
11025S."Then if I believed it right to lie or steal, I, in lying or stealing, should lie or steal by the spirit of truth?"
11025S."Then it is indifferent to the spirit of truth whether the action which it prompts be right or wrong?"
11025S."Then it is not hurtful to speak false things of the Gods?"
11025S."They say so; but what has that to do with the argument?"
11025S."What then, fair youth?"
11025S."Why then?"
11025S."With right processes, or with wrong?"
11025S."Without seeing them as they are?"
11025S."You, then, while you were loving facts as they are, and longing to see them as they are, yet did not possess that which you longed for?"
11025Shall I exercise my profession on you?"
11025Should we not think it a shameful thing, if a mistress were to be enamoured of one of her own slaves?"
11025The spirit of truth then should mean, should it not, the spirit of facts as they are?"
11025The spirit which makes facts as they are?"
11025Then Alcibiades, angrily:"What ugly mask is this you have put on, Socrates?
11025There!-blasphemous reprobate fellow, am I not?"
11025Therefore, if he conceived of himself, his conception of himself would be more perfect than that of any man concerning him?"
11025We are not all, surely, like Narcissus?"
11025What is the mighty difference?"
11025What next?"
11025Whence did the discussion arise?"
11025Why not talk over the matter with me fairly and soberly?
11025With respect to such facts, you would be, would you not, in the same position as a mistress towards her slave?"
11025Would it then be still the spirit of truth?"
11025You knew my dear mother?"
11025and how is this blessedness to be attained?"
11025the Lord thy God is one Lord''?"
52356But what, after all, is this appeal that we make to posterity? 52356 How is it these countries are now deserted,"said Momus to Prometheus,"though they were evidently once inhabited?"
52356--Children, children, what game are you playing at?
52356A life at hap- hazard, and of which you would know nothing beforehand, as you know nothing about the New Year?
52356A mistress chaster than Penelope?
52356Again, how many people in the present day read the writings of Francis Bacon?
52356Again, will the affections, imagination, and intellect of men be, as a rule, more powerful than they are at present?
52356Almanacs for the New Year?
52356Am I not right?
52356Am I the nurse of the human race; or the cook, that I should look after the preparation of their food?
52356An empire as large as that of which Charles V. dreamt one night?
52356And does not death seem natural to you?
52356And for what reason?
52356And how can I take enough food to prevent my dying of hunger a few years before reaching the Sun?
52356And how is it you know my name?
52356And how long will your singing or speaking last?''
52356And how will they protect themselves against the cold?
52356And if so, why not some other intelligent animals instead of men?
52356And if the thought of such separation be nothing to us, ought we not to consider their feelings?
52356And meanwhile?
52356And now I would ask you why you imagine we are nearer perfection than our ancestors were?
52356And on my complaining to him of such ill- treatment, he replied:"Dost thou think I made this house for thee?
52356And pray of what use to the Goblins are the mines of gold and silver, and the whole body of earth, except the outer skin?
52356And seest thou, or hast thou ever seen, happiness within the boundaries of the world?
52356And since death is our greatest good, is it remarkable that men should voluntarily seek it?
52356And the book that you carry?
52356And what is to be done about your book?
52356And who does not know that most pleasures are due to the imagination rather than to the inherent qualities of the things that please us?
52356And why also should I keep these slaves of mine alive, if it were not that from time to time they give me children to eat?
52356And yet life is a fine thing, is it not?
52356And your inhabitants, are they mostly happy or unhappy?
52356And, apart from anything else, do we not instinctively fear, hate, and shun death, even in spite of ourselves?
52356And, since I owe it to you that I am here, ought I not to rely on you to assure me, if possible, a life free from trouble and danger?"
52356And, supposing it to have land and water like the other, why may it not be uninhabited?
52356Are facts deniable, simply because they are not in harmony with words?
52356Are these truths, which I merely express, without any pretence of preaching, of primary or secondary importance in philosophy?
52356Are you much disturbed by the dogs that bay at you?
52356Are you so puffed up because of the Czar''s visit,[1] that you imagine yourselves no longer subject to the laws of Nature?
52356As happy as last year?
52356As the year before?
52356At least, you can tell me if your inhabitants are acquainted with vices, misdeeds, misfortunes, suffering, and old age; in short, evils?
52356Beading the following from Cicero''s"Paradoxes"--"Do pleasures make a person better or more estimable?
52356Besides, how could there be an acute sensation at the time of death?
52356Besides, who can say that he has reached your standard of purity?
52356But do you distinctly confess that you do not love the human race in general?
52356But do you not think it is a great failing in women that they prove really to be so very different from what we imagine?
52356But had he no friend or relative to whom he could entrust his children instead of killing them?
52356But have you, or have you not, changed your opinions?
52356But how could a shadow fulfil any promise, much less induce the Truth to descend to earth?
52356But how did you perceive at length that your soul had left the body?
52356But how do you know I am a Canon?
52356But how is it these rogues have disappeared?
52356But how is it they have not already mentioned it?
52356But how shall we do it?
52356But how shall we know in future the news of the world?
52356But how?
52356But if they did wish to die, what should deter them from fulfilling their desire?
52356But if you had to live over again the life you have already lived, with all its pleasures and sufferings?
52356But in what then are we superior to the men of primitive times, who were perfectly unacquainted with philosophy?
52356But must this necessarily continue?
52356But supposing you are right, what ought I to do, if I can not be useful to my race?
52356But tell me, is greatness the same thing as extreme unhappiness?
52356But tell me: do you ever remember having been able at any moment in your life to say sincerely,"I am happy"?
52356But tell me: why am I here at all?
52356But then, if you are not incited by injuries received, nor by hatred, nor ambition, why do you write in such a manner?
52356But what does it matter?
52356But what has that to do with it, if we ourselves do not conform to nature; that is, are no longer savages?
52356But what is pleasure?
52356But what is this other novelty that I discover?
52356But what shall I say to you about men?
52356But why dost thou shun me?
52356But why is it that we live?
52356But, Excellency, how can the little fellows manage that?
52356But, apart from the fact that your heaven is scarcely an inviting place, who among the best of us can hope to merit it?
52356But, reasonably, and not imaginatively, do we really think our successors will be better than ourselves?
52356Children, do you not hear?...
52356Did I ask to come into the world?
52356Did not one of your ancient mathematicians say, that if he had standing room given him outside the world, he would undertake to move heaven and earth?
52356Did you hear that?
52356Did you not say you were inhabited?
52356Do I keep these my children and servants for thy service?
52356Do you also believe that the human race actually progresses daily?
52356Do you believe all the century believes?
52356Do you believe that forty or fifty years ago the philosophers were right or wrong in their statements?
52356Do you clearly understand?
52356Do you feel bad anywhere?
52356Do you hear the delightful sound made by the heavenly bodies in motion?
52356Do you imagine I should oppose the discoveries of the nineteenth century?
52356Do you mean to say he killed his children and himself?
52356Do you mean what you say?
52356Do you not ordain that I am to be unhappy?
52356Do you not recognise me?
52356Do you not remember any particular year which you thought a happy one?
52356Do you not remember that you are dead?
52356Do you not remember we are both born of Decay?
52356Do you not see that if there are no men there will be no more newspapers?
52356Do you not see that the soul necessarily leaves the body when the latter becomes uninhabitable, and not because of any internal violence?
52356Do you think that in these forty or fifty years the human race has changed to the opposite of what it then was?
52356Do you think they will not come unless you call them?
52356Do you think this New Year will be a happy one?
52356Do you understand these names?
52356Do you, however, think books are able to help the human race?
52356Does it not follow that all your inhabitants are animals?
52356Does it perchance hide from thee in the bowels of the earth, or the depths of the sea?
52356Does not memory, wisdom''s ally, lose strength as we advance in age?
52356Does pleasure or pain predominate?
52356Does that seem incredible to you?
52356Does your Excellency feel ill?
52356Dost thou wish for majesty surpassing that of the Atrides?
52356Even in dreams?
52356Far from here?
52356For do we not oftener see the former productive of results than the latter?
52356For do we not see with our own eyes that the needle in these seas falls away from the Pole Star not a little towards the west?
52356For have they not reached the summit of what is called human happiness?
52356For to what end do we shun death, or desire life, save to promote our well- being, and for fear of the contrary?
52356For what is implied in a state of life free from uncertainty and danger?
52356For whose pleasure and service is this wretched life of the world maintained, by the suffering and death of all the beings which compose it?
52356Had he not enlarged the world, multiplied its pleasures, and increased its diversity?
52356Had you then, like Pasiphaë, a calf for your son?
52356Has humanity progressed in strength and perfection, that the writers of to- day should be constrained to flatter, and compelled to reverence it?
52356Have we not a strong instinctive horror of death?
52356Have you felt no variation in the ennui which oppresses you, from the first day until now?
52356Have you the mandate of Beelzebub?
52356Honours and success, however wicked thou mayst be?
52356How are you?
52356How are you?
52356How can I excuse myself?
52356How can I go unless your Excellency comes?
52356How can I sit?
52356How can there be pain at a time of unconsciousness?
52356How far are these conclusions refutable?
52356How has it become so light?
52356How have I injured you, in making you happy for three or four days?"
52356How long have you been reduced to this kind of life?
52356How many years have gone by since you began to sell almanacs?
52356How should I know?
52356How should we be occupied?
52356How should we be spending our time?
52356How then can it be unnatural to escape from suffering in the only way open to man, that is, by dying; since in life it can never be avoided?
52356How then can order and virtue be said to be encouraged by your doctrine?
52356I am the first Hour of the day, and how can the day exist, if your Excellency does not deign to go forth as usual?
52356I ask you if it be permissible to be unhappy?
52356I care little for the opinion of the world; nevertheless, exonerate me if you have any opportunity of doing so.... What am I?
52356I mean, why do we consent to live?
52356I should be very sorry for that; but what can I do?
52356If a friend begged you to do this, why should you not gratify him?
52356If it be peopled as numerously as our hemisphere, what proof have you that rational beings are to be found there, as in ours?
52356If it be true, why may I not lament openly and freely, and say that I suffer?
52356If man had the power to live for ever, I mean in this life and not after death, do you think he would be happy?
52356If not, why should you expect to feel any violent sensation at its departure?
52356If, however, they are different, why could not the one be separated from the other?
52356Immortal?
52356In answer to Horace''s question,"Why is no one content with his lot?"
52356In short, Don Nicolas, what do you wish to prove by this discourse?
52356In short, to sum it up in two words, do you agree with what the journals say about nature, and human destiny?
52356In what, therefore, are we more advanced than our ancestors; and what means of attaining perfection do we possess, which they had not?
52356Io chiedo al cielo, E al mondo: dite, dite: Chi la ridusse a tale?
52356Is death itself a sensation?
52356Is it not so?
52356Is it that we are better acquainted with the truth?
52356Is it that you have scruples of conscience lest the deed should be treasonable?
52356Is it true that Mahomet one fine night cut you in two like a water melon, and that a good piece of your body fell into his cloak?
52356Is it true that the Arcadians came into the world before you?
52356Is it your own flesh and blood that you are eating?
52356Is not man''s reason daily governed by accidents of all kinds?
52356Is there any one who boasts of the pleasures he enjoys?"
52356May not the same progress which exposes the wound find the salve to heal it?
52356Mine, or that of the Prince, or whose?
52356More joyfully perhaps?
52356More probably, in greater trouble and difficulty; or worse, in a state of ennui?
52356More wealth than shall be found in El Dorado, when it is discovered?
52356My own?
52356My sister?
52356Nature?
52356Not even for a single moment?
52356Now tell me, did you feel any pain at the point of death?
52356Now tell me: are all other actions of civilised men regulated by the standard of their primitive nature?
52356Now, if man be permitted to live unnaturally, and be consequently unhappy, why may he not also die unnaturally?
52356Now, if we remove the Earth from its place in the centre, and make it whirl round and round unremittingly, what will be the consequence?
52356Of a domestic, or wild animal?
52356Of course this was in reality mere fancy, since what could it matter to them when dead, that they lived in the minds of men?
52356Of course, then, you believe that this century is superior to all the preceding ones?
52356Oh, then, what are you?
52356Or am I here unnaturally, contrary to your will?
52356Or instead of land and water, may it not contain some other element?
52356Or is it a member which has to be severed or violently wrenched away?
52356Or, that once passed, they will return if you call out their names?
52356Or, why not return to our primitive condition, and state of nature?
52356Perhaps you think this very extinction of sensibility ought also to be an acute sensation?
52356Perhaps, however, it is because some few men in the present day have learnt that the truest philosopher is he who abstains from philosophy?
52356Say, how did you know you were dead?...
52356Should you not like the New Year to resemble one of the past years?
52356Tell me also: were you sensible of the moment when the soul entered you, and was joined, or as you say agglutinated, to your body?
52356Tell me, do these slaves belong to your tribe or to another?
52356Tell me: among the animals you mentioned, are there any of less vitality and sensibility than men?
52356Tell me: is the spirit joined to the body by some nerve, muscle, or membrane which must be broken to enable it to escape?
52356Tell me; are you really inhabited, as thousands of ancient and modern philosophers affirm-- from Orpheus to De Lalande?
52356Tell me; do you amuse yourself by drawing up my sea- water, and then letting it fall again?
52356That here or there it has rained or snowed, or been windy?
52356That it is hot or cold?
52356That the sun rises and sets?
52356The last hour of the office of the breviary?
52356The matter really resolves itself into this: which is the better, to suffer, or not to suffer?
52356The pleasure of a dream worth more than a real pleasure?
52356The word of honour of a good demon?
52356Then even the fleas and gnats were made for the service of men?
52356Then have you changed your opinion?
52356Then is it impossible for a man to believe that he is actually happy?
52356Then what dost thou want?
52356Then what is death, if it be not pain?
52356Then what is the meaning of this singing freak?
52356Then what life would you like?
52356Then what other life would you like to live?
52356Then what shall you do with your book?
52356Then what sort of creatures are yours?
52356Then why has he done this thing?
52356Then would you recommence it on this condition, if none other were offered you?
52356Then?
52356Thinkest thou then that the world was made for thee?
52356To eat him?
52356To posterity?
52356To sensitive minds, what misery can exceed this?
52356Well, supposing I admit the truth of what you say, how does that alter the matter?
52356Were you ever conquered by any of your inhabitants?
52356What are these judges doing?
52356What colour are your men?
52356What do I hear your Excellency say?
52356What do you infer from that?
52356What do you mean?
52356What do you mean?
52356What do you mean?
52356What do you think of my reasoning?
52356What do you think of the feast of Bairam?
52356What do you think of those people who show you another moon in a well?
52356What does all this uproar mean?
52356What does it matter?
52356What does it matter?
52356What doest thou here, where thy race is unknown?
52356What evil have I done before beginning to live, that you condemn me to this misery?
52356What good are the sun, moon, air, sea, and country to the Gnomes?
52356What has that to do with it?
52356What have such pleasantries to do with so grave a matter?
52356What have you found?
52356What in the world has a thousandth part of the perfection with which your fancy endows women?
52356What is ennui?
52356What is it?
52356What is it?
52356What is it?
52356What is less natural than medicine?
52356What is that life we lived on earth?
52356What is this to do with me?
52356What is truth?
52356What kind of books?
52356What living being, what plant, or other thing animated by thee, what vegetable or animal participates in it?
52356What man can satisfy your inexorable judges, Minos, Eacus, and Rhadamanthus, who will not overlook one single fault, however trivial?
52356What men?
52356What misery, my child?
52356What remedy is there for ennui?
52356What savoury food have you got?
52356What then is this reward?
52356What was it to him that he might gain a reputation on that earth which appeared so hateful and contemptible to him?
52356What will be the fruit of this?
52356Whence will come these praises and honours,--from heaven, from you, or from whom?
52356Where does it dwell?
52356Where, then, is the certainty that posterity will always esteem the kind of writing that we praise?
52356Which are the more numerous among your people, virtues or vices?
52356Which do you consider the more delightful, to see the dear woman, or to think of her?
52356Which of the twenty should you wish the New Year to be like?
52356Who are these unfortunate beings?
52356Who are you?
52356Who art thou?
52356Who doubts the justice of men?
52356Who has been teaching these dead folks music, that they thus sing like cocks, at midnight?
52356Who has killed them?
52356Who troubles himself about Malebranche?
52356Who wants new Almanacs?
52356Who would think of including a little earth in the catalogue of human benefits?
52356Who, for instance, now reads Galileo''s works?
52356Why can not I do it?
52356Why did he do that?
52356Why do you like to stay on the tops of minarets?
52356Why else did I bring him into the world, and nourish him?
52356Why may it not be one immense sea?
52356Why not?
52356Why not?
52356Why not?
52356Why not?
52356Why should not the same reason govern our death which rules our life?
52356Why should this latter, which has no influence over our life, control our death?
52356Why then should suicide alone be judged unreasonably, and from the aspect of our primitive nature?
52356Why?
52356Why?
52356Why?
52356Why?
52356Will you allow it to go down to posterity, conveying doctrines so contrary to the opinions you now hold?
52356Would it not be evident that the happiness or unhappiness of such a person is nevertheless a matter of fortune?
52356Would not the very disposition they boast of be dependent on circumstances?
52356Would they then imagine that everything was made and maintained solely for them?
52356Would you not like to live these twenty years, and even all your, past life from your birth, over again?
52356Yes, what then?
52356Yet, to enable them to attain to their present imperfect state of civilisation, how much time has had to elapse?
52356You believe then in the infinite perfectibility of the human race, do you not?
52356You would throw on me the responsibility of making daylight?
52356[ 2] If immortality wrought such an effect on the gods, how would it be with men?
52356[ 3] Are your women, or whatever I should call them, oviparous, and did one of their eggs fall down to us, once upon a time?
52356[ 4] Are you perforated like a bead, as a modern philosopher believes?
52356[ 5] Are you made of green cheese, as some English say?
52356_?
52356or even uninhabitable?
52356what is this that I hear?
52356what is this?
52356what news?
52356where are you going?
52356who does not know that the world is made for the Gnomes?
52356Çâkyamuni, nearly 2500 years ago, asked,"What is the cause of all the miseries and sufferings with which man is afflicted?"
49450What prayers are mine? 49450 [ 10] But tell me, pray, what is the use of this irritation and anger that makes you so on edge?
49450[ 13] Do you not in the poet''s words discern that monster with four heads so deadly to the nature of man? 49450 [ 15] What meant that pale face and wasted figure?
49450[ 22]_ Petrarch._ What is to be done, then? 49450 [ 26] In talking thus do you not perceive that you prayed for one thing but wished another in your heart?
49450[ 31]_ Petrarch._ Whither can I flee? 49450 [ 50] But pray, tell me, do you suppose that at your age it will be more becoming to doat upon an old woman than to love a young one?
49450[ 65] Do you not recognise the verse? 49450 Abandon my unfinished works? 49450 Am I to despair? 49450 And as for reading, what has it profited you? 49450 And do you suppose what has befallen so many others may not befall you? 49450 And have you got no help from it? 49450 And how can a man soothe and flatter others unless he first soothe and flatter himself? 49450 And how shall I express my thankfulness to Her also, the Spirit of Truth, who, unwearied by our much talking, has waited upon us to the end? 49450 And in the common intercourse of human life what can be more injurious than that? 49450 And in what period of your age did this take place? 49450 And of what relevance is it to know a multitude of things? 49450 And since these things are so, what is it, I ask, which holds me back? 49450 And that I may travel more surely to your conclusion, may we send a little more time over the premisses? 49450 And what can be more foolish than thus to waste such enormous labour over a thing of uncertain issue? 49450 And when you were raised up to the higher life, why did you not attach yourself to it more firmly? 49450 And who may that be, pray? 49450 And who, pray, is the author of your woes? 49450 And with the expectation of freedom would he not eagerly listen for the footsteps of his deliverer? 49450 And yet the question still remains, what is it that holds me back? 49450 And you would break them from me, if I would let you? 49450 And, moreover, what boots it that others shall approve what you have said if in the court of your own conscience it stands condemned? 49450 Any man in the world would desire to reach old age on such terms as that; but what limit or check would be to such a state of mind? 49450 Are there not malignant motions of the air beneath some evil star and pestilential sky? 49450 Are there not many things in which you can not rival the skill of the humblest of mankind? 49450 Are there not the falls of those great buildings which, as some one neatly says, are first the safeguards, then the sepulchres of men? 49450 Are you aware of what still makes you turn from the right way? 49450 Are you perhaps inclined to plume yourself on your physical advantages? 49450 Augustine answered her:You are my guide, my Counsellor, my Sovereign, my Ruler; what is it, then, you would have me say in your presence?"
49450Augustine._ And what do you find?
49450Augustine._ And what if that which you think is a middle position is in truth below you?
49450Augustine._ And why?
49450Augustine._ Are you mocking me?
49450Augustine._ But now please tell me what is it that most displeases you?
49450Augustine._ But you surely do not suppose that to be a slight point even in bodily health?
49450Augustine._ Can your peace of mind be disturbed by the opinion of the crowd, whose judgment is never true, who never call anything by its right name?
49450Augustine._ Come, come, does nothing please you?
49450Augustine._ Do you mind giving me some example to confirm the view you have put forward?
49450Augustine._ Do you mind telling me if you have looked in your glass lately?
49450Augustine._ Do you not see what conflict there is between Love and Shamefastness?
49450Augustine._ Do you think I am ignorant of all"Those pleasant dreams that lovers use to weave"?
49450Augustine._ I see, then, that those things which make many other people envy you are nevertheless in your own eyes of no account at all?
49450Augustine._ If I guess right will you acknowledge it?
49450Augustine._ Of what profit has it been to you to read and remember?
49450Augustine._ Then tell me why to hope?
49450Augustine._ Well, has the sin of lust never touched you with its flames?
49450Augustine._ Well, then?
49450Augustine._ What do you find?
49450Augustine._ What have you to say, O man of little strength?
49450Augustine._ What is it you wish me to acknowledge?
49450Augustine._ What was it?
49450Augustine._ What, then, were your thoughts, and what did you say to yourself?
49450Augustine._ Why do you ask?
49450Augustine._ Why-- why do you speak of sighing?
49450Augustine._ You imply both, for what greater riches can there be than to lack nothing?
49450Base desires, then, sometimes you felt, though not long since you denied it?
49450Beside all these, are there not the rage of savage boasts, and of men, and the furious madness of war?
49450But as this subject is so very threadbare that no one can add anything new on it, will you allow me to offer you an old remedy for an old complaint?
49450But can it be enough to desire only?
49450But if so, who so capable to give one as yourself?
49450But if, again, it is not cured, what good will change of scene bring me?
49450But if, fascinated by one who is the image of virtue, I devote myself to love and honour her, what have you to say to that?
49450But now tell me what is it that makes you suffer, apart from what we have been speaking of?
49450But of what profit tis all this dividing?
49450But tell me what is it that is to you the most displeasing of all?
49450But tell me, I pray you, what in your opinion is this thing called glory, that you so ardently covet?
49450But that woman so renowned, whom you imagine as your most safe guide, wherefore did not she direct you upward, hesitating and trembling as you were?
49450But to come back to your body, of what do you complain?
49450But to get a little order into our discourse, does what you see in yourself truly displease you as much as you say?
49450But what great gain is there in that?
49450But you who set such price on her you love, do you not see how deeply by absolving her you condemn yourself?
49450Can you be ignorant that of all the creatures Man is the one that has most wants?
49450Can you bring your mind to think of flight or exile and going right away from the places that you know?
49450Do we not see them striving to merit afterwards what they feel they should have earned before?
49450Do you call these the signs of one in good health?
49450Do you counsel me to court Poverty?
49450Do you feel able, then, now to cast off your sorrow and be more reconciled to your fortune?
49450Do you know what stands in the way of your purpose of heart?
49450Do you mean to assert that if the same soul had been lodged in a body ill- formed and poor to look upon, you would have taken equal delight therein?
49450Do you mean to say I am once more lying?
49450Do you mean to tell me my soul is still bound by two chains of which I am unconscious?
49450Do you mind being more explicit?
49450Do you put no difference between things so entirely opposed?
49450Do you remember where it occurs?
49450Do you remember with what delight you used to wander in the depth of the country?
49450Do you thoroughly know the matter you are to touch upon?
49450Do you wish to banish all remains of honour from the case?
49450Do you wish, like those with fever on the brain, to die laughing and joking?
49450Doubtless it has lain fixed in your mind, has it not?
49450Even supposing the time were certain, is it not reversing the true order to put off the best to the last?
49450For how should the soul thus crushed beneath these weights ever arise to that one and only most pure fountain of true Good?
49450For what are those sad lamentations of the old but because of the early deaths of their young children?
49450For what are you looking?
49450For what miserable destruction is Fate keeping me alive?
49450For what more obvious truth than this can possibly be imagined?
49450For what use in the world are intellect, knowledge, eloquence, if they can bring no healing to a soul diseased?
49450Gracious Heaven, what is yet to come that is more dangerous still?
49450Hath the great city that so long was queen Fallen at last?
49450Have you then for sixteen long years been feeding: with false joys this flame of your heart?
49450How could there be any first unless there was also a second following after?
49450How do you think you will persuade me of that?
49450How is it, then, you have not engraved equally deeply in your heart the words of the satirist--"Why keep such hoarded gold to vex the mind?
49450How many have struck root and borne fruit in due season?
49450How much more will you stagger when I deliver my sharpest thrust of all?
49450How so?
49450I am afraid you are right, but what are the lines to which you allude?
49450I aspire now to joys of nobler nature"?
49450I do not ask for the precise date, but tell me about when was it that you saw the form and feature of this woman for the first time?
49450I read in your face and speech what a happy and peaceful life you lived; for what miseries have you not endured since then?
49450I will do so very willingly, but may I ask you to finish what you were beginning to say about ambition, which I have long desired to hear?
49450If I could say words like these at that time of life, what shall I say now that I am more advanced in age and more experienced in what life is?
49450If I prove you have complained unjustly, will you consent to retract?
49450If it is cured, what more do I need?
49450In a word, what am I to think except what I see before my eyes?
49450In what way do you mean?
49450Is it any weakness of health or any secret trouble?
49450Is it not?
49450Is it some physical trouble, or some disgrace of fortune in men''s eyes?
49450Is it the general course of human affairs?
49450Is it your good health and strength?
49450Is it your wish that I should put all my studies on one side and renounce every ambition, or would you advise some middle course?
49450Is it, then, an old story, pray, by figures of geometry, to show how small is all the earth, and to prove it but an island of little length and width?
49450Is not that the conclusion of your threefold precept?
49450It is needful, then, that one take thought for this man''s life forthwith, and who so fit to undertake the pious work as yourself?
49450Kindly tell me who ever made use of those words?
49450Knowing what you do, are you not ashamed to see that your grey hairs have brought no change in you?
49450Let us see what fresh quarrel you seek with me?
49450Nay, what if you have in truth left the middle far behind, and are become to a great many people a man more to be envied than despised?
49450Now, do you know what this reputation is?
49450O father, what is this I hear?
49450Of the multitude of things you have perused how many have remained in your mind?
49450Of what are you dreaming?
49450Of what profit is it?
49450Of what use is it to make sweet songs for the ears of others, if you listen not to them yourself?
49450On the other side, these mountains and this King sitting on high-- what can they mean but the head placed on high where reason is enthroned?
49450Or have you quite forgotten whence we set out?
49450Or will you rather take some remedy for your mind so pitiable and so far from its true health?
49450Or would it be better to hasten them on, and, if God gives me grace, put the finishing touch to them?
49450Perhaps you will ask me for whom did he live?
49450Petrarch._ While the doctor is finishing his advice, will he allow the patient, in the throes of his malady, to interrupt him for a minute?
49450Remember you not you are mortal?
49450Shall I pride myself on much reading of books, which with a little wisdom has brought me a thousand anxieties?
49450Since we are agreed on this, that no one can become or be unhappy except through his own fault, what need of more words is there?
49450Tell me briefly what are the remedies I must use?
49450Tell me then, since we have first mentioned love, do you or do you not hold it to be the height of all madness?
49450Tell me, then, can you recall the years when you were a little child, or have the crowding cares of your present life blotted all that time out?
49450Tell me, then, what is it that has hurt you most?
49450Tell me; when you have noticed these signs of change in your body, has it not brought some change also in your soul?
49450The pains of the body, the onsets of fever, attest the fact; and whom has the favour of Heaven made exempt?
49450This stepdame, who in a single day with her ruthless hand laid low all my hopes, all my resources, my family and home?
49450To scrape through life on water and dry bread That you may have a fortune when you''re dead?
49450To this his friendship, his very real patriotism, and( must we not add?)
49450Unless haply to you it seems otherwise?
49450Was I quite destitute of any accomplishment?
49450Was it necessary in a life so short to weave such long hopes?
49450Was it not at her coming the sun shone forth, and when she left you, night returned?
49450Was it not this lady with whom for you every day, whether feast or fast, began and ended?
49450Well then, has poverty yet made you endure hunger and thirst and cold?
49450Well, have we rested long enough?
49450What God or what magician has promised me any surer warrant of security?
49450What are you in doubt about now?
49450What can man, the frailest of all creatures, hope for?
49450What do you call sinking down into my heart?
49450What does it prove?
49450What floods of tears have I shed, and all to no purpose?
49450What greater power than to be independent of every one else in the world?
49450What hope have I then left?
49450What if as a matter of fact you have for a long while enjoyed a really middle place, enjoyed it abundantly?
49450What is it you are most pleased with in this way?
49450What more illustrious example could I need?
49450What need for me to speak of eloquence?
49450What need to say more?
49450What possible obscurity is there in it?
49450What remedy were you likely to find in a place all lonely and remote?
49450What should I say but that such a calamity would be the climax of all my miseries?
49450What suffering is this?
49450What then?
49450What were all the wishes of my youth but solely to please her who above all others had pleased me?
49450When I bid you think on your own whitening forehead, do you quote me a crowd of famous men whose locks were white also?
49450When once the question was raised,"Why so pale and wan, fond lover?"
49450When your eyes behold some ancient building, let your first thought be, Where are those who wrought it with their hands?
49450Who spoke either of riches or of power?
49450Who was not a child yesterday, or to- day, as far as that goes?
49450Why and wherefore, I ask, this perpetual toil, these ceaseless vigils, and this intense application to study?
49450Why ask me to do what you can quite well do for yourself?
49450Why did she not take you by the hand as one does the blind, and set you in the way where you should walk?
49450Why let pass unused the better part of a time so short?
49450Why not?
49450Why should such madness still delude mankind?
49450Why should you not believe it?
49450Why, do you not see that if a man bears his wound with him, change of scone is but an aggravation of his pain and not a means of healing it?
49450Why, then, are you not afraid of a danger you have so often experienced?
49450Why, then, continue to torment yourself?
49450Why, then, seek to take one''s life or that of others?
49450Will not you yourself readily confess how often the putting any confidence in this has proved vain?
49450Will you boast, then, of intellect after that?
49450Would you mind, therefore, postponing it to another occasion?
49450Yet do you not feel that in many things your intellect fails you?
49450You call these things chains?
49450You will be asking me what is that kind of life, and by what ways you can approach it?
49450_ Petrarch._ And am I not right to hate her?
49450_ Petrarch._ And what do you mean by that?
49450_ Petrarch._ And, pray, what do you ask that question for?
49450_ Petrarch._ But to say the same thing?
49450_ Petrarch._ Do I remember indeed?
49450_ Petrarch._ Have you never heard how cruelly Fortune used me?
49450_ Petrarch._ Have you some now terror in store for me?
49450_ Petrarch._ How so?
49450_ Petrarch._ How so?
49450_ Petrarch._ How so?
49450_ Petrarch._ I am grateful for your compassionate feeling, but of what avail is any human succour?
49450_ Petrarch._ I wonder why?
49450_ Petrarch._ In what way are we so mad?
49450_ Petrarch._ Is that all?
49450_ Petrarch._ Of what use is desire, then?
49450_ Petrarch._ Pray do not wander from the subject; for what has this to do with the question we were discussing?
49450_ Petrarch._ So then you mean I care nothing at all about death?
49450_ Petrarch._ That I may not get lost in tracks unknown to me, may I ask when you propose to return to this point?
49450_ Petrarch._ Then you would say there is no distinction between falling and remaining fallen?
49450_ Petrarch._ What conditions do you mean, and how would you have me use words differently?
49450_ Petrarch._ What has that to do with the subject, I would like to know?
49450_ Petrarch._ What is this third point?
49450_ Petrarch._ What kind of notes?
49450_ Petrarch._ What makes you say that?
49450_ Petrarch._ What may these chains be of which you speak?
49450_ Petrarch._ What must I do, then?
49450_ Petrarch._ What then?
49450_ Petrarch._ What?
49450_ Petrarch._ Why to fear?
49450_ Petrarch._ Why, then, should I not hope?
49450_ Petrarch._ Yes, that is my view also; in the meanwhile, however, have you not forgotten my first question?
49450_ Petrarch._ You know Virgil: you remember through what dangers he makes his hero pass in that last awful night of the sack of Troy?
49450and when you see new ones, ask, Where, soon, the builders of them will be also?
49450do you mean to say that I, I am not free from the reproach of cupidity?
49450what is this I hear?
49450where direct my ship?
31579''How could you have presumed that she was my sister?'' 31579 ''Perhaps you will find yourself less incommoded if you take off your veil?''
31579''Where did you learn to smoke, madam?'' 31579 ''You remain here?''
31579''_ Est- il possible? 31579 A black woman?"
31579Am I right? 31579 And from whom?"
31579And love me?
31579And that beautiful lady all over jewels?
31579And that fine equipage?
31579And the paper and packet?
31579And when you go, when will you come again?
31579And who gave you this?
31579And you are, I presume, equally ignorant of the party who gave it to you?
31579And your father and your brother?
31579And your petition?
31579Any ground- rent?
31579At the old place, Signor?
31579Bless me, Maya!--what are you afraid of? 31579 But what is here?
31579But what must we do with these tubs, Cockle?
31579But why a sky- blue domino?
31579But you must have been sweet upon her, Cockle?
31579By the beard of Mokhanna, how can I tell?
31579Can a duck swim, Cockle?
31579Curse me, Andrew? 31579 Did I not tell you that I would be here in an hour?
31579Do n''t you recollect that the winter months are coming on?
31579Do you love me as you say, and as I love you?
31579Have you given it?
31579Have you let it, papa?
31579How is that, Cockle?
31579How is the wind, now?
31579How many can we dine in this room?
31579How me shine, Massa Cockle, when you neber gib me_ shiner_?
31579How mean you? 31579 How''s the wind, Mr Growler?"
31579I''ll tell you-- in the first place, what have you for dinner?
31579Indeed!--and to this, also, you plead total ignorance?
31579Indeed, Mr Mayor, is it possible that I mistook you? 31579 Is all right, Felippo?"
31579Is it?
31579Is not the entrance handsome?
31579It has, though,thought Jack,"for it gets a man in the wind; but I wo''n''t tell her so; and,"continued he,"you do n''t mind a raw nip, do you?"
31579It stares me in the face, Bob; what must be done?
31579It was the wind you love, and who has long loved you,replied the same voice;"do you wish to see me?"
31579Male or female?
31579May it please your Majesty,replied the earl,"my opinion is that either we were in the hands of the fairies, or else----""Else what?"
31579Me tell you all de tory, sar-- first I see Missy O''Bottom, and I say,''How you do, how you find yourself dis marning? 31579 Me, miss?"
31579Moonshine, what have we got for dinner?
31579Moonshine, where are you going, you thief?--when did you ever see me drink cold water, or offer it to my friends?
31579My dear fellow,said the Admiral,"how''s your head now?"
31579No, you would n''t, would you?
31579Now, Bob,said Cockle,"what d''ye say to a_ seven bell- er_?
31579Only £ 27, 10_s._"And the taxes?
31579Pray, Mr Smithers, what term of lease do you let at?
31579Pray,says the traveller from London to one of my tenants,"whose superb mansion is that?"
31579Say, Mr Mayor, where are your proofs of what you have now asserted?
31579She was now without a veil; and what do you think was her reason for the concealment of her person?
31579So I will-- Now, sir, as you''ve got me into this scrape, you must get me out of it.--D''ye hear?
31579That will not do for me; will you love only me?
31579That you never will, Mr Moonshine; what''s o''clock now? 31579 That''s all, is it?
31579The fellow''s_ ironing_ me, Bob, ar''n''t he?
31579The long and the short of it is, Bob, that we have nothing but a piece of pickled pork; can you dine off that?
31579There''s that fellow, Bob; what is he about?
31579They step out well, do n''t they? 31579 Well done, Moonshine, now I forgive you; but how did you manage it?"
31579Well then, what is your point?
31579Well, Cockle, my boy, how are you?
31579Well, Colonel,said I, as he made a sudden stop,"what occurred after that?"
31579Well, and suppose I did, dearest?
31579Well, my dear, what do you think now? 31579 Well, then,"replied Littlebrain,"you''ve no objection to_ half- and- half_?"
31579Well,said the king, as soon as the company had departed,"what think you of this, Rochester-- were we visited by the fairies last night, think you?"
31579What can all this mean? 31579 What can he want with me?
31579What can it be, but the mad king at his pranks as usual?
31579What child is that?
31579What could be the cause of it?
31579What did you say the rent was, Mr Smithers?
31579What do you come for, Signor?
31579What have we got in the house, Moonshine?
31579What have we here?
31579What have you to fear between this and Pisa? 31579 What is all that noise, dearest?"
31579What is the meaning of this rudeness, Signors?
31579What must be done?
31579What nonsense it is your talking that way,would his opponent say,"Why do n''t you come to the point?"
31579What the deuce is all this?
31579What the devil is the house built of then?
31579What''s the matter!--do you think I do n''t know? 31579 What, have you got the first watch, as well as me?"
31579What_ is_ the matter?
31579When, you scoundrel?
31579Where are you going, Alfred?
31579Where did you get it?
31579Where is he?
31579Where the devil did all this come from?
31579Who gave it to you?
31579Who gave you the basket?
31579Who is he, dearest?
31579Who is he, dearest?
31579Why not, my soft one?
31579Why the deuce did I come here in a sky- blue domino, or any domino at all?
31579Why, Mr Littlebrain,said one of the captains, for Jack had actually laid the paper down on the table,"what''s in the wind now?"
31579Why, what the devil''s this?
31579Why, what''s that?
31579Why, who was it that spoke?
31579Why, you an''t jealous of a Nor- wester, are you?
31579Will you ever find your way back to your lawful owner?
31579Will you take your oath, Moonshine, that you did not drink any last night?
31579Yes, that is right; but could you not have said it instead of writing it, Mr Littlebrain?
31579You call me, sar?
31579You do n''t say so?
31579You do n''t say so?
31579You no ab money-- you no ab tick-- how I get grog, Massa Cockle? 31579 ''But,''say Missy O''Bottom,''why he no send for some?'' 31579 ''_ Eau de mille fleurs._''''_ Eau de mille fleurs!_ Did not I tell you last week that I was tired of that villanous compound? 31579 (_ Agnes runs up to her._)_ Agnes._ My dear Lucy, has she frightened you too? 31579 (_ Aloud._) And now, my love, how long have you resided in this city? 31579 (_ Aloud._) Captain what''s- your- name, shall I tell you your fortune? 31579 (_ Aloud._) Did you hear me, Lucy? 31579 (_ Aloud._) Well, sir, what''s that to you? 31579 (_ Aloud._) Why, Beppa, are you mad? 31579 (_ Aloud._) Why, my lady, if he must go----_ Lady Eth._ Must go? 31579 (_ Aloud._) Will you not answer? 31579 (_ Aloud._) Youth, have you any mark, should you be sought, Might lend a clue to your discovery? 31579 (_ Aloud_) But, Sancho, was she quite satisfied with your assertion of his being killed? 31579 (_ Aloud_) You know this Nina-- this girl of his? 31579 (_ Aside to Etheridge._) Why do n''t you ask after your sister? 31579 (_ Bursts into tears._)_ San._ Why do you grieve? 31579 (_ Enter Sancho._) How now, Sancho,--what have you discovered? 31579 (_ Enter Sancho._) So, comrade, what''s your business now? 31579 (_ Gives the letter._)_ Adm._ How do you know? 31579 (_ Goes up to Mr Cadaverous._) Not better, my dear sir?--don''t you feel stronger? 31579 (_ Holding up his cane._)_ Peter._ Did n''t I tell you that you did? 31579 (_ Inez kisses Isidora, and they separate._) Thou say''st he is a stranger? 31579 (_ Isidora kneels a short time in silence, and proceeds._) Anselmo-- Virgin holy, will no name But his rise from my wretched heart in pray''r? 31579 (_ John and Thomas come forward._)_ John._ I say, Tom, how are you off for nineteen pounds nineteen and six? 31579 (_ Kneels._) Tell me, dearest Agnes----_ Agnes._ Tell you what? 31579 (_ Lucy appears fainting, Etheridge supports her._) Are you angry with me, Lucy? 31579 (_ Lucy silent._) Answer me, girl, I say, have you before heard anything of this? 31579 (_ Mr Seedy is about to fold up the papers._)_ Gum._ I beg your pardon, sir, but is there no other codicil? 31579 (_ Pause._) Averted still!--Oh, Isidora, who, Who pour''d such cruel thoughts into thy breast? 31579 (_ Puts up purse hastily._)_ Enter Beppa.__ Bep._ What''s that you''ve put into your pocket? 31579 (_ Rubbing his shoulders._) But did n''t you say that Mrs Bargrove would confess? 31579 (_ Seats himself._) My dear, where are you? 31579 (_ The Admiral shakes his head in mournful silence._) Edward, will you not answer me? 31579 (_ Throws off friar''s gown._) What then appears? 31579 (_ To Captain Mertoun._) Arn''t you of my side? 31579 (_ To Clementina._) Did not I tell you, Miss, that if you did not change your mind, others might? 31579 (_ Turning to Mertoun, and curtseying haughtily._) Your friend? 31579 (_ Weeps._)_ San._ Why, Nina, did he not basely leave you? 31579 --Then pray where does he?"
31579--Was not that grand?
31579And do you really tell the truth?
31579And is the tender sanction of that saint, Our more than mother, nothing?
31579Answer me seriously: do you think it possible for a man to describe what he never saw?
31579Answer me, Lucy, am I then indifferent to you?
31579Anything else which may proceed from your prolific brain, Barnstaple?
31579Are you armed?"
31579Are you content, and is it a bargain?"
31579Are you mad?
31579Are you mad?
31579Are you sure of that?
31579Are you sure that he has had his draught with his pill?
31579Art thou at peace within, or does thy youth Regret its vow, and yield to vain repinings?
31579Barnstaple?
31579Beppa-- false?
31579Besides, mamma, have we not been playmates since we have been children?
31579But can you prove it?
31579But should there not have been a marriage previously to this happy awful climax?
31579But tell me, Ansard, what is your plot?
31579But to proceed:--they are seated at table; can you describe a grand dinner?
31579But to reply to your strange request, who is the lady I am commanded not to woo, and upon what grounds?
31579But to the purpose-- by what sins hast thou, Since last we met, endanger''d thy poor soul?
31579But were I to tell you what is known only to yourself, would you then credit my asserted powers?
31579But what are these to thee, Thou monk Anselmo?
31579But what can I do?
31579But what can be done?
31579But what dainty lasses are these that come this way?
31579But what''s the matter with you, Peter?
31579But why ca n''t I say at once a silk nightcap?
31579But will you tell it truly?
31579But, Barnstaple, what shall I give for him?
31579But, even if he did, would you mind a few blows for the certainty of being one day Sir Peter Etheridge?
31579But, now I look at you, have n''t we met before?
31579Can I retreat?
31579Can not you create some difficulty or dilemma, in which to throw her, so that the hero may come to her rescue with_ éclat_?
31579Can you describe them?
31579Cockle and I burst out laughing,"Well, and what did Mrs Rowbottom say to that?"
31579Come, Mrs Jellybags, no disguise,--tell the truth;--no soup-- warm jelly-- heh?
31579Come, what d''ye say, Bill?
31579Could n''t we have some built?"
31579Den I hold de bottel up and say to you,''Massa, shall I help you?''
31579Den dey say,''Where you massa?''
31579Den dey say,''You sure of dat?''
31579Describe views,& c. of which you are ignorant-- so are most of your readers; but have we not the art of engraving to assist you?
31579Dick and Bill come forward with the poultry picked._)_ Dick._ Well, missus, ban''t he a soft cove?
31579Did I hear rightly?
31579Did I hear rightly?
31579Did I not, Sir Gilbert?
31579Did he mention her name?
31579Did you never hear of a girl called Nelly Armstrong?
31579Did you not say that for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, you would be mine, till death did us part?
31579Did you not wish him dead?
31579Did you press her hard to marry you at once, as I advised you?
31579Did you speak to them?
31579Do holy thoughts prevail?
31579Do n''t you long to hear it?
31579Do n''t you see?
31579Do n''t you think I might eat something, my dear Mrs Jellybags?
31579Do n''t you think so, ma''am?"
31579Do our young gallants create disturbances with our good citizens?
31579Do you dispute my passage?
31579Do you know your name?
31579Do you know, Ansard, that by getting up this work, you really injure the popularity of a man of great talent?
31579Do you mean Lucy Bargrove''s?
31579Do you refer to the advantages that you had in being educated with me?
31579Do you take this for a mocking matter?
31579Do you think that I shall hear from him?
31579Do you think that you can proceed now for a week, without my assistance?
31579Do you think, Edward, that this matter could not be hushed up?
31579Do you understand me?"
31579Do you understand?
31579Do you wish to serve him?
31579Do your disembodied spirits now float around me, and, shrouded in this horrible veil of nature, glare unseen upon vitality?
31579Does he not fear his ghost?
31579Does he not pry into my conscience as far as he can?
31579Does your friend stay dinner, Edward?
31579Don Gaspar, are you satisfied?
31579Dost thou not think The plumed helm will better fit this head, Than the dull friar''s cowl?
31579Dost thou say to part?
31579Doth he continue steadfast and devout?
31579Down on my knees too?
31579Eh, missus?
31579Eth._ Am I then to consider this as a mere act of duty, Lucy?
31579Eth._ May I ask, my dear Lady Etheridge, if you refuse me as your son, or is Lucy refused to me as your daughter?
31579Eth._ My dear father, why do you submit to such tyranny?
31579Eth._ Not to my father, I trust?
31579Eth._ Those you love better than yourself, Lucy; who are they?
31579Eth._ To make you miserable, my dear Lucy?
31579Eth._ Well, my dear father, where is Agnes?
31579Eth._ Well, then, madam, have I your permission?
31579Eth._ What can have annoyed her?
31579Eth._ What can it be?
31579Eth._ What does Lucy think of it?
31579Eth._ What is all this disturbance, my dear father?
31579Eth._ What would you infer, my lady?
31579Eth._ What, my dear Lucy?
31579Eth._ Where is my sister Agnes, my dear mother?
31579Fair lady, can I serve you?
31579Father, surely thou mistak''st?
31579Float ye upon this intolerable mist, in yourselves still more misty and intolerable?
31579Forgot his vow to love and cherish you?
31579Good hugging people, are you man and wife?
31579Good woman, will you not tell me more?
31579Has he explained to you what has occurred?"
31579Has he not dashed my cup of bliss to the ground?
31579Hast thou no more?
31579Hast thou perform''d the penance I enjoin''d For the sad stumblings thou did''st last confess?
31579Hast thou then Been so unwise as to receive a stranger?
31579Hast thou then seen him?
31579Hav''n''t you taken my purse and my money, for your intelligence that I was changed in my cradle,--and what has been the consequence?
31579Have you discovered who your rival may be?
31579Have you forgotten your origin, proud lady of the Hall?
31579Have you no relations or friends in whose opinion you wish to stand well?
31579Have you profited by my instructions?
31579Have you ten thousand guilders?"
31579Have you, then, heard anything, my love?
31579Henri, did you order the hind- spring to be repaired?
31579Here goes-- heads or tails?
31579Hold ye high jubilee to- night?
31579Holy father, saw you The other party in the contest?
31579How are you, and your husband, and how is pretty Lucy?
31579How are you, my good fellow?
31579How can I help it?
31579How can he submit to it?
31579How could''st thou utter That which, to me, must be the knell of death?
31579How dare you insult me thus?
31579How do you do, sir?
31579How does Miss Agnes to- day?
31579How is it that she is not here to receive her brother?
31579How is your mistress?
31579How long has this change taken place?
31579How long hast thou thus lived in sin?
31579How long is it now since I have dared perform that sacred duty?
31579How shall I address her?
31579How should I possess ten moidores?
31579How the devil are you to get your fellow out of that state of asphyxia?
31579How the devil shall I be assisted by a poodle?
31579How was it possible that a man could navigate a ship, with only one quarter point of the compass in his head?
31579How, sirrah?
31579How?
31579However, we can always command a bottle of port and a beef- steak, and_ what more_ in this world can you have?
31579I am she-- Where is it?
31579I have retired from business altogether; in fact, as my daughters are both married, and we have enough to live upon, what can we wish for more?
31579I have therefore known Lucy from her infancy; and ought I to be ashamed to say, how much I am in love with her?
31579I knew the voice, the knell----_ Felix._ Where are you hurt?
31579I never meant to quarrel with the old woman; what d''ye think, Bob-- is it all right?"
31579I say, Etheridge, that''s a dead cut; who is your friend?
31579I say, Mr Peter, what can you want with my lady?
31579I say,''Miss O''Bottom,''pose you no tell?''
31579I say,''What all dis for, massa?''
31579I see more grog on de table: so I take up de bottel and I say,''Massa Cockle, you go up stairs?''
31579I watched-- and watched-- and watched--_ Peter._ Well, and what did you discover?
31579I will, by some means, warn them at the Hall-- a letter, but how to get it there?
31579I wonder whether, if I were to take to study, if I could not in time write a Shakespeare myself?
31579If I''m basely born Why do I spurn the common herd of men?
31579If I''m to blame, good father, are not you?
31579If he should come, what shall I say?
31579If my father consents to our union, will you be satisfied, without the concurrence of my mother?
31579If this should be true( and why raise such a report without foundation?
31579If you admit a young traveller into your carriage-- what then?
31579If you long to tell it?
31579In the first place, am I always to continue in this style?
31579Indeed, I hardly know whether I dare go home and get my victuals, Wo n''t you trust me?
31579Is Lady Etheridge ill?
31579Is a little money, then, to sway my affections?
31579Is he not here?
31579Is he not, too, a Guzman, and my cousin?
31579Is it necessary to introduce Mertoun?
31579Is it not well, Anselmo----_ Ans._ Isidora, Are racking tortures well?
31579Is it so, Agnes?
31579Is it thus you address your mother?
31579Is such your opinion of my constancy?
31579Is that sea- brute to remain, or am I to quit the house?
31579Is the harvest moon at full?
31579Is there no feeling towards me?
31579Is there then any foundation for that vile report?
31579Is this a night To stay away, false, yet loved Don Gaspar?
31579Is your watch out?"
31579Isidora, is thy virgin heart Thus mated to a wild apostate monk?
31579It had been placed on the rock to save the lives of his brother seamen; and were he to remove it, would he not be responsible for all the lives lost?
31579It shall be done, Barnstaple; but have you not another idea or two to help me with?
31579It was neck or nothing with me then; was n''t it, Bob?"
31579Know''st thou this form,--these features?
31579Knowest thou this form?
31579Lady Etheridge, will you honour us so far as to give your consent?
31579Mer._ And was this the only cause for your change of behaviour towards me, Agnes?
31579Mer._ Not to Miss Etheridge?
31579Mer._ What?
31579Mother, why, what_ is_ the matter?
31579Mrs Bargrove, where is your accomplice, Nelly Armstrong?
31579Mrs Jellybags, have you adhered punctually to my prescriptions?
31579Must I sink deeper and deeper with these villains?
31579My dear girl, what has vexed you?
31579Now tell me, how long have you been thus scrupulous?
31579Now, Barnstaple, what''s to be done?
31579Now, Sir Gilbert, am I to be protected, or am I to submit to insult?
31579Now, am I to believe this?
31579Now, have you thought of nothing new, for we must not plagiarise even from fashionable novels?
31579Now, tell me, how do you get on?
31579Now, what am I to do?
31579Now, what''s to be done, Bob?"
31579Of course I followed: who could resist such a challenge?
31579Of what consequence is it when I dine?
31579Of what family are you?
31579One word,--although it bid me die?
31579Or, borne away by youthful phantasies, Neglect the duties of our sacred order?
31579Pray have you heard anything of this before?
31579Pray who is the gentleman to whom your mistress is making love?
31579Pray, has he had anything in the way of drink?
31579Pray, may I ask, my dear Mrs Jellybags, were you present at the making of the will?
31579Pray, sir, what liberties have you taken with Lady Etheridge?
31579Say, Manuel, hast thou discover''d aught?
31579Say, then, that you quitted the hospitable roof of your worthy and excellent- hearted relation, Mr Forster, and felt----_ A._ Felt how?

31579Seven had been satisfactorily got through; then came the eighth, a very simple one:--"What is your course and distance from Ushant to the Start?"
31579Shall I finish the first chapter with that_ fact_?
31579Shall I not marry the man of my affections?
31579Shall I tell you what the gipsy woman said when she told me my fortune?
31579She does not beat him?
31579She say,''What he fraid for?''
31579Speak, sir, what means this?"
31579Suppose it were proved true, you would not look down upon me as the child of your inferiors?
31579Suppose, now, I should prove you a gentleman of ten thousand a year; what would you give me then?
31579Talk not to me of Heaven''s vicegerent: Can man absolve from compact made with God?
31579Tell me what sum do you think that I should possess to warrant my demanding the hand of your daughter?"
31579Tell me, for lately thou hast not confess''d, How throbs thy heart?

31579Warn''t that a good un?
31579Was it well done to send out hired stilettos When you had challenged me to measure swords?
31579Was there no crime, Anselmo, when thou stol''st, Like a disguised thief, this trusting heart?
31579We had also to contend with letters and notes in the same way, brought to us at haphazard:"Does Mr So- and- so live here?"
31579Well then, who are the other gentlemen who are to bring forward the proofs?"
31579Well, before you state your case, tell me, how did the novel go off?
31579Well, good husband, how could I help it?
31579Well, how''s our patient?--better?--heh?
31579Well, sir-- what do you want?

31579_ Ans._ And is not all love holy?
31579_ Ans._ Nay, Isidora, Does not the father, he whose spiritual sway I yet acknowledge, grant me this sweet bliss?
31579_ Ans._ Why call in question that which ne''er can be?
31579_ Ant._ And are you still alive?
31579_ Ant._ But, sir, is there not danger in thus assuming a holy character, if it were known-- the Inquisition?

31579_ Ant._ How did you escape them in the city, senor?
31579_ Ant._ May I be so bold as to ask how?
31579_ Ant._ Now, how did he get there?
31579_ Ant._ Pardon me, sir; but will you risk your noble person against one but too well practised in the sword?
31579_ Ant._ Pray, may I ask, what has made you in such a sermonising humour to- day?
31579_ Ant._ Shall I go now?
31579_ Ant._ What dost thou there?
31579_ Ant._ What said she then?
31579_ Ant._ Why not?

31579_ B._ And so they want something bad, eh?

31579_ B._ To be sure; you exclaim mentally,--why should you not in a whisper?
31579_ B._ What do you mean to imply by a fashionable novel?

31579oh, Mr Cadaverous, how can you fatigue and annoy yourself with such things as wills?
31579or do ye crouch behind these monitorial stones, gibbering and chattering at one who dares thus to invade your precincts?
31579or who would have believed it for a moment, but a fool like him?
31579said I,''and pray what is the next thing which you wish?''
31579say you; Who was this treach''rous woman?
