39013were they safe at Upernavik?
39013what is it?"
39013what is it?"
42059Is it just,said Diego,"that I should suffer for a son which I may never have?"
42059To embark, Villejo? 42059 Villejo,"said the prisoner,"whither do you take me?"
42059What authority had my viceroy to give my vassals to such ends?
42059153; did he propose to those of Venice?
42059154; did he leave a wife in Portugal?
42059Are we sure that he did?
42059Did the cartographers of that time have anything more than conjecture by which to run such a coast line?
42059Did they not come from the Persian gulf, round the Golden Chersonesus, and so easterly, as he himself had in the reverse way tracked the very course?
42059Had it ever been passed before?
42059Had not the great discoverer fulfilled his mission when he unveiled a new world?
42059Had the Admiral not discovered already the course of the ships which sought it?
42059He might better have remembered the words of warning given to Baruch:"Seekest thou great things for thyself?
42059He remembered that Josephus has described the getting of gold for the Temple of Jerusalem from the Golden Chersonesus, and was not this the very spot?
42059How did he command this rich resource?
42059If all this was found on the surface, what must be the wealth in the bowels of these astounding mountains?
42059Is it such?
42059Is that the truth?"
42059Meanwhile, what was going on in the north, where Portugal was pushing her discoveries in the region already explored by Cabot?
42059Rabida, Convent of, 154; at what date was Columbus there?
42059The question which complicates the decision is: When did Columbus consider his sailor''s life to have ended?
42059WAS COLUMBUS IN THE NORTH?
42059WAS COLUMBUS IN THE NORTH?
42059WAS SHAKESPEARE SHAPLEIGH?
42059Was it a fancy or a deceit?
42059Was it a torch carried from hut to hut, as Herrera avers?
42059Was it not certain that something must be wrong, or these accusations would not go on increasing?
42059Was it not that he was slipping easily down this wonderful declivity?
42059Was it on either of the other vessels?
42059Was it on some small, outlying island, as has been suggested?
42059Was it on the low island on which, the next morning, he landed?
42059Was it quite sure that the ability to govern it went along with the genius to find it?
42059Was it the discovery of some of those against whom a royal prohibition of discovery was issued by the Catholic kings, September 3, 1501?
42059Was it the result of one of the voyages of Vespucius, and was Varnhagen right in tracking that navigator up the east Florida shore?
42059Was not Mangi the richest of the provinces that Sir John Mandeville had spoken of?
42059Was the light on a canoe?
42059Was this an honest statement?
42059Was this coast in the Cantino map indeed not North American, but the coast of Yucatan, misplaced, as one conjecture has been?
42059We may perhaps ask, Was Irving''s hero a deceiver, or was he mad?
42059Were not these parrots which Columbus had exhibited such as Pliny tells us are in Asia?
42059What is that source?
42059What next?
42059What were the discoveries of the Phoenicians to this?
42059Where, then, was this Greenland?
42059Why is it that we know no more of these voyages of the Cabots?
42059[ Sidenote: Cabot in Seville?]
42059[ Sidenote: Date of the voyage, 1494 or 1497?]
42059[ Sidenote: Did Columbus hear of the saga stories?]
42059[ Sidenote: Did Columbus land on Thule?]
42059[ Sidenote: Did he exceed his powers?]
42059[ Sidenote: Was Vespucius on this voyage?]
42059[ Sidenote: Was the Florida coast known?]
42059[ Sidenote: What is the coast north of Cuba?]
42059[ Sidenote: Who discovered South America?]

46372''To take the cable ashore?
46372''What do you want?
46372And how did you hear of the opinion formed in England of our fate?
46372And who may you be, pray?
46372But is this true, my fosterer?
46372How did you learn the name of my ship?
46372Was the Deluge,he asks,"a real occurrence?
46372What is there more sublime than the trackless, desert, all- surrounding, unfathomable sea? 46372 Where away?"
46372And is it possible that neither of these causes, that not all combined, were able to blast this bud of hope?
46372And now the great question:--Shall he turn back, or ascend the stream?
46372And what more amusing than the commentaries of the forecastle, and the learned explanations of the veteran salts to the raw recruits?
46372And where shall human tears be shed throughout that solemn sepulchre?
46372But he was saved: and how?
46372But who shall tell the bereaved to what spot their affections may cling?
46372By concealment in the highest mountains?
46372By long- continued swimming?
46372By personal exertion?
46372Can it be possible that this water communicates with Barrow''s Straits and shall prove to be the long- sought Northwest Passage?
46372Can it be that so humble a creature as I am will be permitted to perform what has baffled the talented and wise for hundreds of years?"
46372Can they be dreaming?
46372Did he begin to build when the first showers descended?
46372Did the earth inform him that at twenty, thirty, forty years''distance it would disgorge a flood?
46372Did the stars announce that they would dissolve the terrestrial atmosphere in terrific rains?
46372Had he been accustomed to rains, formerly?
46372Had he never seen rain?
46372He fell in the zenith of his glory, a worthy contemporary?
46372He offered a prize for disquisitions upon the question,"Has the discovery of America been useful or prejudicial to the human race?"
46372How, but by an acknowledgment to that Providence without whose favor the enterprise must have ended in disaster and defeat?
46372Is it the dread abyss where all things cease?
46372Its depth is sublime: who can sound it?
46372Its strength is sublime: what fabric of man can resist it?
46372Tell me, politician, how long did this shadow of a colony, on which your conventions and treaties had not smiled, languish on the distant coast?
46372The question now is, How shall we properly celebrate the consummation of the great event?
46372Thou dazzling meteor, vain as fleeting air, What new dread horror dost thou now prepare?
46372Was it the winter''s storm, or disease, or labor and spare meals, or the tomahawk-- that hurried this forsaken company to their melancholy fate?
46372What could induce him to provide against it?
46372What groves and fields and dwellings are so enchanting as those which stand by the reflecting sea?
46372What is there more peacefully sublime than the calm, gently- heaving, silent sea?
46372What is there more terribly sublime than the angry, dashing, foaming sea?
46372What landscape is so beautiful as one upon the borders of the sea?
46372What more can we desire?"
46372What rocks and cliffs are so glorious as those which are washed by the chafing sea?
46372What shrouds were wrapped round the limbs of beauty, and of manhood, and of placid infancy, when they were laid on the dark floor of that secret tomb?
46372What would be more interesting than the speculations of such a captain upon the cause of the marvellous dispensation?
46372What would be more interesting to- day than the log of the earliest voyage thus accomplished in European waters?
46372When shall it be resolved?
46372Whence did he receive this foreknowledge?
46372Whence, then, had Noah his foreknowledge?
46372Where are the bodies of those lost ones over whom the melancholy waves alone have been chanting requiem?
46372Who bears the keys of the deep?
46372Who can tell what wells, what fountains, are there, to which the fountains of the earth are but drops?
46372Who can tell, who shall know, how near its pits run down to the central core of the world?
46372Who could inform Noah?
46372Who else can heave its tides and appoint its bounds?
46372Who shall find it out?
46372Who shall go down to examine and reclaim this uncounted and idle wealth?
46372Whose else, indeed, could it be, and by whom else could it have been made?
46372Why against water?
46372Why did not that great patriarch provide against fire?
46372Why last year more than the year before?
46372Why think them now of importance?
46372Why this year more than last year?
46372against earthquakes?
46372against explosions?
46372re- echoed the others, who were now just awakening, and who heard the words with a dim, dreamy idea of their meaning;''to take the cable ashore?''
46372why against a deluge?
23107''What has brought thee here, little one, to this isle, which is in the sea and of which the shores are in the midst of the waves?'' 23107 Ar''n''t you Nansen?"
23107Are we about Ice Point?
23107But who in his senses would believe this?
23107Did you see the stripes of the tiger?
23107Do they come from the sun or the moon? 23107 Have ye come through the sky?
23107How else could they have reached us through the woods and rapids which even we find it hard to pass?
23107How far is it to the end of the lake?
23107I perceive,said Imam,"that you are fond of visiting distant countries?"
23107The other end of the lake? 23107 This Davis hath been three times employed; why hath he not found the passage?"
23107Were we to be the fortunate ones to reach this goal, which navigators for centuries had striven to reach?
23107What does this mean?
23107What great creatures are these?
23107What has brought you hither?
23107What is this, Christians? 23107 What kind of a country is it to the north along the river?"
23107What was the name of the owner of the goods?
23107What wind blows so strongly against the side of the house?
23107What, have you no slaves in England?
23107Where are you bound for?
23107Where is Barker?
23107Why do we waste time on this barbarian? 23107 Why have ye come hither unto this land, which the people of Egypt know not?"
23107Why not call it Stanley Pool and those cliffs Dover Cliffs?
23107And the deserted Pizarro?
23107And the people crowded round and asked them,"Who are you that sit weeping here?"
23107And what of Richard Chancellor on board the_ Bonadventure_?
23107And where, on our modern maps, was this little earth, and what was it like?
23107And why?
23107As they came to anchor, a boat shot alongside and a voice cried out in Swedish,"Is it Nordenskiold?"
23107But then had not the Vikings already discovered this country five hundred years before?
23107But to- day we ask: Was it Iceland?
23107But what if there were a northern route?
23107But where is the beginning?
23107CHAPTER III IS THE WORLD FLAT?
23107Could they be Speke and Grant?
23107Did rivers flow into the sea?
23107Did trees and flowers cover the land?
23107Did ye sail upon the waters or upon the sea?"
23107Do they give us light by night or by day?"
23107Do we wonder to read that"one of the ships stole away privily and returned into Spain,"and the remaining men begged piteously to be taken home?
23107Everywhere Cortes and his men were received with friendship and reverence, for was he not the long- lost Child of the Sun?
23107Four centuries have passed away, but--"When shall the world forget The glory and the debt, Indomitable soul, Immortal Genoese?
23107From a photograph by a member of Younghusband''s expedition to Tibet and Lhasa, 1909(?).]
23107Had Pytheas indeed found the end of the world?
23107Here were the fair- skinned men in shining armour marching back to their own again, and Cortes at their head-- was he not the god himself?
23107I raised my hat; we extended a hand to one another with a hearty''How do you do?''
23107IS THE WORLD FLAT?
23107Is it for such a little thing that you quarrel?
23107Is it necessary to add that this Staaten Land was really New Zealand, and the bay where the ships anchored is now known as Tasman Bay?
23107Is it the Niger or Congo?''
23107Is the Lualaba, which Livingstone had traced along a course of nearly thirteen hundred miles, the Nile, the Niger, or the Congo?
23107Livingstone, I presume?''
23107Was he not the"Admiral of the Ocean Sea, Viceroy of the Western Indies,"the only man who had crossed the unknown for the sake of a cherished dream?
23107Was it Lapland?
23107Was it an island?
23107Was it mainland?
23107Was it not one of the largest trade markets in Asia, where rode the strange ships of many a distant shore?
23107Was it one of the Shetland Isles?
23107Was not this the long- sought passage to India?
23107Was there not land beyond?
23107Was there some vexation in the heart of the"Admiral of India"when the command of the new fleet was given to Pedro Cabral?
23107Was this, after all, the source of the Niger?
23107Were Asia and America joined together, or was there a strait between the two?
23107What about El Dorado?
23107What about a North- West Passage leading round Labrador from the Atlantic to the Pacific?
23107What can I give that is acceptable to the King of England?"
23107What had he done?
23107What if the commander himself left a young wife and a son of six months old?
23107What if this act of reckless daring was unsuccessful?
23107What was it like before the first explorers made their way into distant lands?
23107What was the map like?
23107What were we to do?
23107Where is the dawn of geography-- the knowledge of our earth?
23107Where were these tin islands, kept so secret by the master- mariners of the ancient world?
23107Which of us has a horse?
23107Who ever heard of such a thing?
23107Who shall describe the terrors of that homeward voyage, the suffering, starvation, and misery of the weary crew?
23107Why should England not find a way to that glorious land by taking a northern course?
23107Would not such a name deter the seamen of the future?
23107cried the natives, probably surprised at their foreign dress;"and what seek ye so far from home?"
41200And how,he added,"could the sick, and all the women and children they had on board, be saved?
41200Is there one that objects, it being for the royal service, that I turn the Chief Pilot out of the ship?
41200Your worship wishes to kill me,replied the Vicar;"can you not see that I am unable to stand on my feet?
41200A friend said to one of them:"Is your worship one of those who wish to leave this land?"
41200A soldier came out of another tent with his sword drawn, and said:"What is this?
41200And how would you suffer where they look out for us, at losing the reward your labours deserve?
41200And what certainty was there that there was peace in that land?
41200At last he saw me, read much of this narrative, and said:"What right have we to these regions?"
41200At last this man asked her,"What ought he to do who was warned that some wanted to kill others on board the ship?"
41200At this she took great offence, and felt it so much that she said very angrily:"Can not I do what I please with my own property?"
41200But see you not that this ship is only held by a cable that can be clasped with two fingers?"
41200But there did not want those who said:"What hospitals have been founded or served by those that desire to please God and obtain their desires?
41200Do you not know that it is little less than mutiny to sign that paper?"
41200Do you not see that it will be the death of yourself and your companions?
41200Do you wish, solely for your whim, to destroy such Christian aspirations, which have endured so long?
41200Don Luis attacked him, and many others coming up, the soldier retreated inside, saying:"What have I done?
41200Even if they were saved, how could they be fed and taken on their way?
41200For me?
41200For the rest, who could seek to have dead men present with him, or dishonoured men?
41200For this cause the Pilots cried from one ship to another:"Where are we going?"
41200He further addressed them as follows:--"Gentlemen, who is it that deceives you and makes you discontented?
41200He said:"For what evil deeds that I have done do I go sold in this ship, where are some to whom I have done such good deeds, and desire to do more?
41200He said:"Sir Captain, what is it that you want with me?
41200How can there be so little firmness in honourable men?"
41200I have an order, but who orders me to do what is right?"
41200If they should die, who was there that could revive them?
41200In sorrow for their evil condition, they spoke thus:"How long, O pious Lord, is the darkness in which they live to last for these people?"
41200Is it not for the Adelantado to decide what shall be done?"
41200Is there any one who wants to seek my death?"
41200Is this a time for courtesy with pigs?"
41200Like the Camp Master?"
41200Meeting one of those who had signed the paper, he said:"Is your worship a ringleader of the party?
41200On this he asked them what they had left in Peru, and what they had brought from there?
41200She replied that, for the eight days they were going to stay, what danger could there be?
41200Sir Chief Pilot, what goings and comings are these?
41200Some were saying:"Where have you brought us to?
41200Tell me whether you are better off here, or where you importuned me to take you?"
41200The Chief Pilot asked him what it would serve him to enter into hell with the fame of being a good shot?
41200The Chief Pilot reminded him of the uncertainties of the sea, to which he answered:"If we can not find a port, what are we to do?"
41200The Chief Pilot replied:"And how will you get it on board again?"
41200The Chief Pilot replied:"Does a boat laden with what has cost no money, and given with good will by our friend Malope, seem to you to be nothing?"
41200The Chief Pilot said:"What is it that you want me to say to you?
41200The Vicar replied,"I only know what I say;"and the Pilot said:"What sailors have they to take them?
41200The look- out man went down between decks to see the hospital and the sick women, who, when they beheld him, cried out:"What do you bring us to eat?
41200The prisoner said:"I to die?
41200The reply was:"What can we do here?"
41200The soldier cried out:"For me?
41200Then, seeing two pigs on board the ship, he said:"Why do they not kill those pigs?"
41200They answered:"Why can not it be left here?"
41200They complained, saying by signs that if we were friends, why did we kill them, there being peace?
41200They said that"if the land will yield much food, how is it that we get nothing to eat from it?"
41200This brought out the timidity of some, saying:"Whither are they taking us, in this great gulf, in the winter season?"
41200Understand that I am the Master of the Camp, and if we sail together in one ship, and I ordered the ship to be run on some rock, what would you do?"
41200What do you seek?"
41200What do you want?
41200What harm have these natives done to you that you should treat them with such cruelty?
41200What have I done?"
41200What have I done?"
41200What have we come to?"
41200What is the bad conception which makes you think that you can all leave this place with the ease that you promise yourselves?
41200What more do you want?
41200What place is this whence no man goes, and to which no man will return?
41200What think you of the words his servant spoke to him?"
41200Who is now going to maintain me?"
41200Why should we avoid such a chance?
41200Why should you lose so much good as surrounds you here?"
41200Will it not bring ruin?
41200Will they kill us, or use force?"
41200With a jump he got into the boat, and, according to the signs he made, he appeared to ask:"Where do you come from?
41200Would you go to New Spain?
41200[ 122] Months(?
41200and have you come to this at the end of so many years of service to the King?
41200as I have on this expedition, or have these people undertaken it at their own charge?
41200for what have I served in all that has been done and seen if this ship is to go the bottom?"
41200such an one, wherefore do you not recite with devotion on that rosary?"
41200what have we here?"
41200what is this that I see?
41200what services are there without requiring that men should be ready to suffer all the blows that may come?
41200wherefore?"
19765How can you stand it? 19765 What man did that?"
19765Who are you?
19765(?)
19765(?)
19765Absurd as it seems that these plunderers of the deep always held prayers before going off on a hunt-- is it any wonder they prayed?
19765An unclaimed world?
19765And why not new worlds?
19765And yet, who that knows of Cook and Vancouver, knows as much of Gray?
19765Beyond-- what?
19765But where did this strange denizen of northern waters live?
19765Did he go as far north on the west coast of America as 48 degrees?
19765Did one party of traders establish a fort on Cook''s Inlet?
19765Do you fear death too much to dare one blow for liberty?"
19765Furious controversy has waged over Drake on two points: Did he murder Doughty?
19765Gray had found the river, but could he enter?
19765Had the little band of Russians gone far inland for water, and the signals been hidden by the forest gloom?
19765How was he to know not a word had come from the governor of Siberia, and the summons{ 328} was sheer bluff?
19765If the worst came, could Bering hold his men with those tied hands of his?
19765In flying from Siberian exile, were they courting a worse fate?
19765Is the man sure enough of himself to leave everything behind, and jump over the precipice into the unknown?
19765Is the quest fair?
19765Judged solely by results, what did he accomplish?
19765Leader?
19765Leader?
19765On a purely material plane, what did Bering accomplish?
19765Paul_, from the 20th of June, when the vessels were separated by storm?
19765Peter_?
19765Service?
19765Should he wait for the delayed instructions from Siberia?
19765Surely, God had heard their vows?
19765Surely, this was Kamchatka?
19765The question arises-- where does Bering stand among the world heroes?
19765This was the very section which Bering and Cook had left untouched; and who could tell where these straits might lead?
19765Was Ledyard beaten?
19765Was it a case of one explorer being jealous of another, or had Billings played Ledyard into the fur traders''trap?
19765Was it ill- luck or destiny, that caught Vancouver in this gale?
19765Was it land or fog, ice or deep water?
19765Was the Saxon planning to scuttle the Pole''s vessel, too?
19765Was the secret of that gold the true reason for Spain''s resentment against all intruders?
19765Was this a decoy to test his strength?
19765Was this fire from volcanoes or Indians?
19765Was this settlement, too, ready to rise if they had a leader?
19765Was this the fabled river of the West, that Indians said ran to the setting sun?
19765Was this their reward for protecting Cook with the wand of the sacred_ taboo_?
19765Were they men?
19765What did it matter?
19765What did the Aleut Indian care for the law''s slow jargon?
19765What did they care?
19765What did they want, these fool fellows, following the rushlight of their own desires?
19765What is Gray''s place among pathfinders and naval{ 239} heroes?
19765What manner of man was he, who in that time had risen from life in a mud hut to the rank of a commander in the Royal Navy?
19765What matter if the flesh was tough as leather and rank as musk?
19765What of this"Gamaland"?
19765What was the Pole to do?
19765What was the crack- brained enthusiast aiming at anyway?
19765What was the explanation of such quick recognition?
19765What was to hinder any common tramp trumping up such a story?
19765What were the merchants of New York and Philadelphia doing, that their ships were not here reaping a harvest of wealth in furs?
19765What were the rewards for all this risk of life?
19765When booty of half a million was to be had for the taking, what Siberian exiles would permit an Indian village to stand between them and wealth?
19765When could he set out to explore the source of the Nile for them?
19765Where did it come from?
19765Where did it come from?
19765Where did it go?
19765Where did she come from?
19765Where did they lead-- the endlessly rolling billows?
19765Where does his life''s record leave him?
19765Where was the money in a venture to the Pacific?
19765Where were nails to come from six thousand miles across the frozen tundras?
19765Where were the tattered fellow''s proofs?
19765Where were they?
19765Where were they?
19765Who can tell?
19765Why did this coasting along unknown northern islands not lead to Kamchatka?
19765Why should they?
19765Why should they?
19765Would Drake accept the lesson, or challenge it?
19765but who knows?
19765{ 26} Everybody congratulated the commander, but he only shrugged shoulders, saying:"We think we''ve done big things, eh?
19765{ 334} How did Baranof, surrounded by hostile Indians, with no servants but Siberian convicts, hold his own single- handed in American wilds?
23643And many and many a man has tried after her, beyond doubt?
23643And one was that you should end your days in Iceland?
23643And what adventure is that?
23643And what country was it that Biorn found first?
23643And what have you to say to it? 23643 And what service do you ask of me?"
23643And who art thou, my child?
23643And who taught you such songs?
23643And why do you call me that? 23643 And why should you refuse it?"
23643And will you not go yourself, and seek out that new country?
23643And you are for Ericshaven?
23643And you go out there without a husband?
23643Are we, dying, come to a city of the dead?
23643Are you drunk, then?
23643Are you minded to see some of the Winelanders, my Gudrid? 23643 But you would not do that?"
23643But your father is a Christian, surely?
23643But,said Gudrid,"if that adventure were settled and done with, would you not then think of seeking the new country which Biorn saw?"
23643Can you have too many children? 23643 Can you take me to that place to- morrow?"
23643Do you know the name I give you in my private mind?
23643Do you offer for my daughter on behalf of a thrall''s son? 23643 Do you see me there, mistress?"
23643Does it please you, lady?
23643Does this not prove to you that Redbeard was your friend? 23643 Get at it, get at it-- what do you fear, man?
23643Gudrid, are you there?
23643Heard any one the like of this, that I should think of everything, and fail for one?
23643How else will they believe you?
23643How long shall we be there?
23643How should I land in a surf like that? 23643 I will ask him-- but if he agrees you will come?"
23643If it should happen ever that I come home again, and want to see Einar, will you give him this from me? 23643 Is all well, daughter?"
23643Is he dead? 23643 Is it done?"
23643Is that all? 23643 Is that in the bargain?"
23643Is that the way of it?
23643Is there, indeed? 23643 It is good to be loved, even by Freydis,"she said to Karlsefne, whose answer was,"Who could help loving you?"
23643May I not go now? 23643 Not unless_ I_ want to see him, you would say?"
23643Oh, Freydis,Gudrid said,"you do n''t grudge me my boy?"
23643Oh, may I?
23643Shall I have at him again, for Einar''s sake?
23643Shall we break bulk?
23643So that''s it, is it? 23643 Tell me, Freydis, now,"she said,"why did you call your girl Walgerd?"
23643The dead are unquiet,she told him when she had him out of range of the others,"and how should I be quiet?
23643Well,he said,"what would you have?"
23643What do they want with us?
23643What do you desire to know?
23643What have you to do with Leif and his affairs? 23643 What is it now, sweetheart?"
23643What is it, host, which makes you so heavy? 23643 What is that which you wear round your neck?
23643What is this he says? 23643 What is your name?"
23643What makes you think so?
23643What need of speech between us two?
23643What will you do, master?
23643Where is Thore?
23643Whither will you go?
23643Who and whence are you?
23643Who are ye? 23643 Why so?"
23643Why then,said Karlsefne,"will you give yourself to me?"
23643Would it please you, then, to reveal certain things to the company?
23643Would she have none of them?
23643Would you have my place? 23643 You know that, then?"
23643You weep at my news?
23643You will not go in the winter?
23643You?
23643And how will you face the hardships of the strange land?"
23643And of what country?"
23643And upon the heels of that thought came another, which she instantly put away, What and if Thorstan was to be her second husband?
23643And what goaded Freydis to her dreadful deeds?
23643And what if Death were a fourth in the party?
23643And what is your name?"
23643And what kind of a token?"
23643And what was I to do in the country with my Norway merchandise still aboard, and my father God knew where?
23643And what would these children do without you?
23643And when I take you to Iceland I suppose you will call him up with that?"
23643And where was the Maggoty Sea?
23643And who would wish to know it?
23643Biorn said,"Why, what can I do?"
23643Bless you-- do you think I do n''t know?"
23643But I have money, do you see?
23643But if it provoke, is it not reasonable to let the imagination go to work upon it?
23643But who knows?
23643But who wants a good wife?
23643But who was the black- kirtled woman who appeared to Gudrid and gave herself the same name?
23643But would he be the second?
23643Can one read_ Laxdale_ and not desire to read through it into the proud heart of Gudrun?
23643Can the bishop?
23643Can the priest?
23643Could that mean that Einar----?
23643Do n''t I tell you that he is a great man, an old settler and what- not?
23643Do you believe it?
23643Do you mean that?"
23643Do you see nothing on the water?"
23643Do you think I am kind to every one?"
23643Do you trust me?"
23643Do you wish her fetched?"
23643Gudrid said,"Why not?
23643Gudrid said:"Why should you stay here?
23643He told me that he was at rest-- and how can you look for rest in this life?"
23643Ho, pale rider, Hast thou leave homeward to fare?"
23643How came Halgerd to betray Gunnar to his foes, how came Nial to be burned in his bed?
23643How could I have said I did not?"
23643How could it be that men were allowed to suffer so?
23643How could you pass it by?"
23643I am willing to believe her story, but what then?
23643I hope you do n''t want to share graves with such an old man as Thore?
23643If I had known that I should have been here long ago-- and then, who knows?
23643If you are not afraid, why should I be?
23643If you are not to be the lucky man, why am I to be thrown aside?"
23643If you take our hardihood from us, what have we left?
23643In Kormak''s Saga, for instance, which I put forward some years ago as_ A Lover''s Tale_, is there no psychology?
23643Is Doomsday come?
23643Is he dead?
23643Is it not so?"
23643Must I stay here?"
23643Now if we go and leave him here, he will die-- and what then?
23643Now who will come out to meet them with me?
23643Now, I daresay my father spoke to you about me, with a nod and wink, as we say?
23643Or would he be the third?
23643Shall dead men ride, Shall they drive spurs in?
23643She nodded, fearing the rest; but he went on--"And the other was that you should outlive me?"
23643She speaks to herself, and then to the dead--"What wraith rideth?
23643That this is his doing-- with prayers to Thor?
23643The Icelanders looked at each other, and Thorwald, who was very pale, said,"Is any man here wounded?"
23643Then he said,"Are you there, Thorstan?
23643Then said Helgi to Hiorleif,"Is the host called?"
23643Then,"Will you kiss me?"
23643Was it not so?"
23643Well, then, suppose it had been you that were to die first-- do you suppose that Thore would have left you for some other girl?
23643What did she tell him?
23643What do you desire of her?"
23643What do you take him for?
23643What else could he say or feel at such a time?"
23643What else do you need?"
23643What had your white Christ brought you but death and misery?
23643What harm can come to a good girl?
23643What has she to do with good women, well brought up?
23643Where do you expect to go when you die, with all that wickedness on your shoulders?
23643Where is she now?
23643Who can foretell his end?
23643Who come here?
23643Who could say what might be the lot of any adventurer?
23643Who does not?"
23643Who should think the worse of thee?
23643Who wants a long life?
23643Whose is the host?
23643Why should she not hear what the world has to say to her?
23643Will you come too, Thorstan?"
23643Will you not see him?"
41098A bearskin? 41098 Ah?"
41098Alrek, when is it your intention to take the time to get furnishings?
41098Alrek?
41098And it comes to my mind to wonder if it could have been your dwarfs that Rolf Erlingsson saw when he was here with Leif the Lucky? 41098 Are they gone?"
41098Are you asleep?
41098Are you ready to tell the tidings you have seen?
41098Are you the chief?
41098Biorn''s foster- son is worth speaking about; what have you done with him?
41098But do you know for certain that you will?
41098But what in the Troll''s name are they?
41098But why take so much trouble to make up a story--"What aid was it expected that we should give?
41098Did it make your hands helpless because no sword was in them to- night?
41098Did you see any Skraellings?
41098Do you know another thing besides yourself that I forgot? 41098 Do you like it so well to die?"
41098Do you not all know?
41098Do you not see that this Skraelling may bring back a host, as happened to Thorwald?
41098Do you not see? 41098 Do you remember that you are playing?"
41098Do you think I am a fool like Brand? 41098 Do you think that any one who eats your cooking needs to be told that Gudrid did not do it?"
41098Hallad?
41098Has he drunk the wits out of him yet?
41098Have I not hands?
41098Have you come back for good?
41098He has grasped the bag too close to move, but it would be possible to pry a finger into the top and see what is inside,--if you would allow it? 41098 How did it come here?"
41098How did you get it?
41098How do you know that he has seen anything?
41098How do you know that it will be you who does the rune- carving?
41098How does that concern you?
41098How does that concern you?
41098How would he have got booty if he had told Karlsefne, who would have forbidden fighting between the settlements? 41098 I advise you to tie yourself on,"one of them jeered; and the other one gibed:"Would you like to hold to my cloak in going down the next hill?"
41098I suppose you remember how King Skiold blew upon a passing ship so that the boom fell over and killed Eystein where he stood by the steering oar?
41098I want to ask Gard Eldirsson what he paid the Skraelling for the skin yonder on the high- seat?
41098I?
41098If a man in the wastes is unable to escape the meddling of fools, what would he not have to endure who remained in camp?
41098If it is impossible why do you trouble yourself over it?
41098If it was not Thorhall, who was it? 41098 If you are not drowned, what is the reason?"
41098Is Alrek there?
41098Is it possible that I could get less honor with him?
41098Is the boy of so much importance that I must carve his rune on a separate stick?
41098It appears likely that you will be the chosen head, since you seem always to speak for your comrades?
41098It is true then that you did slay the Skraelling?
41098It may be that I would better tell him that he owes me thanks for sending the Skraellings to him?
41098It may be then that you would be willing that I should offer them to come under my rule?
41098It seems that your stay was short--"Was Thorwald lacking in hospitality?
41098My red cloak?
41098Now did you think it so terrible? 41098 Slipped away, because my back was turned, and got all the sport for yourself?
41098Suppose it does not happen that you get a chance to tell the Huntsman of your experience?
41098The Huntsman?
41098Then I think I will try my luck in that direction, if so be they will allow a woman to come near?
41098Then why did you not work as you should have done?
41098Thorwald said this cape looked to be a fine place to live in; I wonder how he likes it to be dead here? 41098 Was it not your intention to free me when you ordered all hands to the oars?"
41098What Skraellings?
41098What ails you two that you have done nothing but quarrel since the trading day? 41098 What are you talking about?"
41098What but the ocean?
41098What difference what I prefer?
41098What do you mean by that?
41098What else could he be than drowned? 41098 What has become of the hide, however?"
41098What has come to_ you_ then?
41098What have we here?
41098What in the Fiend''s name has come to the fishing?
41098What kind of jest is this?
41098What of you?
41098What screech?
41098When is it your intention to sail?
41098Where is Alrek?
41098Where is the Weathercock?
41098Which are you the more anxious to know,--that I have remembered or that I have not traded?
41098Which of you wants what of me?
41098Who knows what the next ridge may be hiding?
41098Who says I paid too much?
41098Who wants to prepare for anything so far in the future? 41098 Who--""--thralls, the two in white--""But the man in blue?"
41098Why did he not give the message to the Lawman?
41098Why do you creep up like a cat if you are not willing to risk something?
41098Why not?
41098Why not?
41098Why was this so? 41098 Why, in the Fiend''s name, did you not remind me?"
41098Will you allow your kinsman to die because of your slowness? 41098 Will you put off this chance for treasure, to fight for the Lawman who disbelieved your oaths and showed disrespect to your high- seat?"
41098Will you tell us about--?
41098You choked him?
41098You know that is an old woman''s story--"For what purpose should you interfere?
41098You saw... me... do it?
41098You scared them away before I had a chance to see them?
41098Above the creak of his skees he heard at the same instant two sounds,--Gard''s voice crying:"Would you kill him?"
41098And what is the reason that he is not back again?"
41098And why the booth is empty?"
41098At which Alrek repeated the last word with lifted eyebrows:"_ Dwarfs?_"Somewhat shamefacedly, Gard explained himself:"I said that in jest.
41098Brand spoke for all when he inquired timidly:"Is this a_ punishment_?"
41098But before Alrek could answer, Karlsefne spoke:"You would have me believe that your chief does not know of this matter?"
41098But when I came upon him suddenly----""You attacked him?"
41098But where had he been, and why was the booth empty at this time of day?
41098Did I not order that you should be shut up for the rest of the voyage?"
41098Do you know where I have been?
41098Do you know who that is?"
41098Do you think it is warm outside?"
41098Eight glances fixed the Ugly One angrily, while Erlend spoke in mild reproof:"What is the need of talking in that way?"
41098Even if I did not care for your orders, would I not be apt to heed Karlsefne''s?"
41098For if you did not touch the deed, how could it stain you?"
41098Fur?"
41098Have you got it into your mind that you have prevented him from fulfilling what lies nearest his heart?
41098Have you got out of your wits?"
41098He broke off impatiently:"Is it not clear to you yet, you blocks of peat?"
41098How is it your intention to deal with them?"
41098I ask of you to tell me what all this is about a ship?"
41098I could give my head another knock-- What is this?
41098I hope your debt to me does not lie heavy on your shoulders?"
41098I hope your journey has been according to your pleasure, and that nothing has happened which you dislike?"
41098I suppose that in the Earl''s camp they would not call it a jest to knock down a chief?"
41098I suppose the reason you share the secret with us is because we can give the help of a ship?"
41098I tell you openly that I know you to be the man who slew the Skraelling----""Slew?"
41098I think I have described to you their homes?"
41098I want to ask if it is the one the Skraellings brought, on that last trading day of which so much has been told?"
41098If I slip through this gate, as I came, will you use the east one, which is also nearer your own booth?"
41098If we were on your ship now----""What is to be said against swimming?"
41098Involuntarily, Gard whirled to dart a glance over his shoulder; and finding nothing, cried out, sharply;"What ails you?
41098Is it in truth your opinion that there is the most manfulness in you?"
41098Is it likely that Ran keeps new cloaks for drowned people?"
41098Is it likely that Valkyrias came down for him?
41098It seemed to me that you were all eager in having him alive to tell you news?"
41098It seems to me that it is his right?"
41098It shattered the stillness startlingly when Njal screamed:"If they are Skraellings, why do they not come out and show themselves?"
41098Poised in mid- air, as it were, they looked over their shoulders at him, crying impatiently:"What is the matter?"
41098Take him hence,--do you hear my words?
41098Tell me before anything else if you are all here, sound and whole?"
41098The Greenlanders looked down at him; then around at one another; then Brand spoke under his breath;"If you dare----""Dare?"
41098The answers rose in his face like a covey of birds:"How else would you expect us to speak?"
41098Thorhall, will you not let us see that chain again, that Alrek may get it clear before his mind what great things are in store for us?"
41098Was I not here at the time the bull frightened them?
41098What are you doing here?
41098What do you think I have seen?"
41098What is the reason that you did not go to him with this one?"
41098What is this on his neck?"
41098What luck?"
41098What should you say if I would show you the paths that lead to the treasure?
41098When he had stood a while looking down at him, Alrek spoke with suppressed scorn:"Are you still trying to spend your money and keep it too?
41098When he saw the others go down into the boat, he began to whimper:"Do you intend, Biorn, to leave me here?"
41098Where is it your intention to voyage when The Fire is built?"
41098Who has gone after the fish?
41098Why do you not stay under the water with the other dead men?"
41098Why should Hallad be dressed in white like a slave?
41098Why will you, Olaf, open that door?
41098Will the entertainment be worth the exertion?"
41098Will you accept the test?"
41098Will you do it?"
41098Will you feel around that bush- clump where I came down at the last leap, while I look over the slope where I stumbled?"
41098Will you keep to what concerns you?
41098Will you not stay with him the little while that I must be in the dairy?"
41098You do not want to bear the burden of your deed, yet you knew when you slew him that some one must suffer for it----""I slay him?
41098You know that it was a dwarf who caused my wreck at Keel Cape?"
41098You remember I had on only one boot when you found me?
41098You remember that Tyrfing was forged by such?
41098and Hallad''s wailing:"Why do you betray yourself?"
41098the second one:"Where--?"

18038Oh, what are you doing, Uncle Marc?
18038Only six of you? 18038 Pedro,"he said to the boy near him,"do you see a light out there?
18038Pedro,he said,"have you told this to any one else?"
18038Pedro,said the Admiral quietly,"what do you think?"
18038People often do, but in what way, especially?
18038See here, young chap,he said,"we are running along the shore of this island and there is no difficulty-- take my place will you, while I get a nap?"
18038Senhor,asked Fernao with sudden daring,"what is beyond the edge of the world?"

18038She was very old, you say?
18038Since all enlisted in the expedition are at his service, why does he demand lackeys?
18038Son,he said seriously,"what do you know of this matter?"

18038Would you like to sail with us?
18038You called him off, eh, General?
18038You have been here only two days,he said,"and already demand an audience with the Emperor?"
18038You heard, you little beggar?

18038--_Page_ 204]"Gentlemen, whence does this fleet come?"
18038A hand was laid on his shoulder, and a friendly voice inquired,"Did you get your share of the plunder, my son?"
18038Alone with all the stars of Christendom He set his course,--if he had known his fate Would he have stayed his hand?
18038And a mountain of ice half a league long and as high as the Giralda at Seville, floating in a sea as blue as this one, and as warm?
18038And how goes the Latin?"
18038And islands with mountains that smoke, appearing and disappearing in broad daylight?
18038And no demand for redress has as yet been made?"
18038And now about this road to India; what have you to suggest?"
18038And shall you be a soldier also, my lad?"
18038And the Captain added,"Who are you yourself?"
18038And where will you find better forest than along that shore?
18038And who may you call yourself, zagallo( strong youth)?"

18038But how in the name of Sao Cristobal did it come here?
18038But now I put thee out of door and set the bandog to guard it; thou art locked out though the door be wide open, seest thou?
18038But what are you scheming?"
18038But what commodity in England decays faster than wood?
18038But why didst do it?"
18038By the way, did the Skroelings in Greenland understand that language the Wind- wife spoke?"
18038Can you not be friends for a day?
18038Could he mean that?
18038Could this be the place?
18038D''you look to see me set up an image to be worshiped?"
18038D''you think we might take him to Granny Toothacre''s, Tom?"
18038Dauntless he fronted the Presence,--and the courtiers whispered low,"Doth Elizabeth send us madmen, to tempt the torture so?"
18038Did it exist, or was it a fairy tale, born of mirage or a lying brain?
18038Did you ever see, in your voyages to Africa or elsewhere, any such carving as this?"
18038Did you go to Greenland?"
18038Do babes take a ship round Bojador?
18038Do you know, old lad, we may be taken for gods ourselves in two months''time?

18038IX WAMPUM TOWN"Elephants''teeth?"
18038Is he a caballero then?"
18038Listen-- is that the call of a man aware of his right?
18038Look at that sea, can there be anything in the world more beautiful?"
18038Now who in Spain will believe that?"
18038Now who is to be surety that yonder interpreter does not change your words in repeating them?"
18038Now why should that be, and he a Spaniard?
18038Say who you are, and from what realm you hail, White spirits that in winged peraguas sail?
18038Shall we go into the house, or will you find it pleasanter in the garden?"
18038THE ESCAPE Why do you come here, white men, white men?

18038The little inn at the Sign of the Rose,--ah, who can forget the place Where Titania danced with the children small and lent them her elfin grace?
18038The road to the capital might be perilous, but what was that to him?
18038The young Indian went on, with the same careless contempt,"You see those mountains over there?
18038Then he slipped away as some companions of his own age, or a little older, came by, and one said enviously,"Where have you been, Hernan''Cortes?
18038Then said Bjarni, for the lot was fairly cast,''What else can be done?''
18038Then spoke the terrible Ivan,"His Queen sits over sea, Yet he hath bid me defiance,--would ye do as much for me?"

21733Do n''t you wish you may get me?
21733Do they understand our language?
21733Does Blackbeard,asked Chingatok, after a few seconds''thought,"expect to find this Nothing-- this Nort Pole, in my country?"
21733Does Oblooria think that no one can fight but the giant?
21733Does he ever speak of a Great Spirit?
21733Does he_ look_ afraid?
21733Does my father wish me to get the kayaks ready?
21733Does the Kablunet,he asked,"think I am afraid to die-- afraid of a noise?
21733For what do you require their help, father?
21733Found what, my son?--his nothing-- his Nort Pole?
21733Go, go,said the Eskimo chief, losing temper as he lost ground in the argument;"what can Kablunets know about such matters?
21733Got your hand on the check- string? 21733 Hain''t Buzzby got nuffin''to say on that''ere pint?"
21733Has Chingatok become a fool, like the Kablunets, since he left home?
21733Has he not come to search for new lands_ here_, as you went to search for them_ there_?
21733Has he seen him-- spoken to him?
21733Has the Great Spirit no word of comfort for His Kablunet children?
21733Has your experience extended further north than this point?
21733Have these men got wives?
21733Have you not called?
21733Have you seen them-- have you spoken?
21733How about a tail, father?
21733How are we ever to know that we''re_ not_ dreaming?
21733How can the world float without wings?
21733How can we prevent it?
21733How far off, now, is your land from this island?
21733How long will they take to kill it?
21733How, Anders?
21733How, boy?
21733I vote that we sit up all night,said Benjy,"the sun does it, and why should n''t we?"
21733If it spinned should we not feel the spinning, and grow giddy?
21733Is he black under the clothes?
21733Is he going to carry it away with him in his soft wind- boat?
21733Is it a devil?
21733Is it not the most glorious and altogether astonishing state of things you ever heard or dreamed of, father?
21733Is not the big oomiak with them?
21733Is that worth Flatlander blood? 21733 Is the Kablunet afraid?"
21733Is the thing he searches for something to eat?
21733Is there not some tradition of a mild climate in the furthest north among the Eskimos?
21733Is this your native land, Chingatok?
21733Kin dey tell whar''gold is to be found, massa Alf?
21733May I speak, my father?
21733May it not be that Leo has influenced them peacefully, my father?
21733Me, massa? 21733 Might not the mystery- bundle that you call_ buk_ explain matters?"
21733Mother,returned Chingatok,"when the white bear stands up with his claws above my head and his mouth a- gape, does my hand tremble or my spear fail?"
21733My son,continued Amalatok,"these Kablunets seem to be stout- bodied fellows; can they fight-- are they brave?"
21733My son,said Grabantak one evening to Chingatok,"if we are henceforth to live in peace, why not unite and become one nation?"
21733No one killed?
21733Not want to''scape?
21733Nothing wrong I hope, uncle?
21733Nothing, my son?
21733Now then, all ready?
21733Now, Benjy, are you to go in, or am I?
21733Of course you do not intend that we should swim there, do you, uncle?
21733Of course,said Alf,"you will allow us to carry small libraries with us?"
21733Of what use would it be, my son? 21733 Shall we submit to insult?
21733Something to drink or wear?
21733Steak-- eh?
21733Surely my friend does not think we would forget him? 21733 Surely you''re not going to try to blow it up piecemeal?"
21733Tell me, my son,gasped Toolooha,"is Oblooria-- are the people safe?
21733The highest, uncle?
21733The use?
21733Then why do you speak to me of danger and death?
21733There_ must_ be One,he continued in a lower tone,"who made all things; but who made_ Him_?
21733Was he always black?
21733We''ll come to another berg ere long, no doubt, sha n''t we, Chingatok?
21733Well, my father?
21733Well, uncle, what''s the news?
21733Well, uncle, where is it?
21733Well, what about that?
21733Well, what am I to do?
21733What I you do n''t believe? 21733 What ails Oblooria, Anders?"
21733What am it, massa? 21733 What are_ you_ thinking of, you lump of charcoal?"
21733What d''ye mean, Butterface?
21733What d''ye think o''that, father?
21733What d''you mean, Butterface?
21733What did you do_ that_ for, father?
21733What do they eat?
21733What do you mean, Ben?
21733What does Blackbeard mean by coming here?
21733What does he mean? 21733 What have you got in the kettle?"
21733What have you got there, lad?
21733What if a chasm or a big hummock should turn up?
21733What induced you to keep on sketching all night?
21733What is it all about, father?
21733What is it to be, father?
21733What is it, Anders?
21733What is that?
21733What is the matter?
21733What is the other string?
21733What made him black?
21733What now, lad?
21733What plan do you intend to follow out, uncle?
21733What power is imprisoned in the machinery?
21733What power?
21733What say you, comrades? 21733 What says Chingatok?"
21733What says Oblooria?
21733What shall we do?
21733What sort o''squeak is that?
21733What you say?
21733What''r''ee doin''this for-- ee-- yaou?
21733What''s come of Alf?
21733What''s de use ob dem?
21733What''s de use?
21733What, my boy?
21733What, not even a box of paper collars?
21733What, the one near the middle of the lake, about four hundred yards off?
21733What, then, is to be your motive power, if not oars or sails-- which last would not work well, I fear, in an india- rubber boat?
21733What, your sketch?
21733What? 21733 What?"
21733When do you mean to start?
21733Where ever did you get it, father?
21733Where has Alf gone to?
21733Where have they gone, think you?
21733Where is he?
21733Where?
21733Where_ is_ the bear?
21733Whereaway, boy? 21733 Which s''uth''ard d''you think of going to, father?"
21733Which? 21733 Who are these, my son?"
21733Who did that?
21733Who made me?
21733Who, and what, is this man?
21733Why comes the ancient one here through the snow?
21733Why did you ask me about it, then?
21733Why did you bring these barbarians here?
21733Why do n''t you launch the boat on the lake?
21733Why do you go then?
21733Why do you hesitate? 21733 Why do you speak French to Englishmen, father?"
21733Why do you think so, Chingatok?
21733Why do you think so?
21733Why do you wish to go to war?
21733Why does it not bark?
21733Why goes my son to the ice- cliff?
21733Why not Great Hope?
21733Why not? 21733 Why not?"
21733Why think you so, my son?
21733Why, what''s wrong with you, Benjy?
21733Wo n''t you give them a blow- up first, father?
21733Would n''t you rather some of the squeak?
21733Yes, cuffy, also tee, and shoogre, and seal st- ate-- what?
21733You''re not losing heart, are you, uncle?
21733You''ve brought plenty of supplies, I hope, Alf?
21733You''ve brought the electrical machine, of course, and the dynamite, Alf?
21733You''ve not been bumped very badly in the tumble, father, have you?
21733You, uncle?
21733` If ignorance is bliss,''the poet saith-- why` if?'' 21733 A gleeful look of triumph caused his face, as it were, to sparkle, and he said, eagerly--We''ll winter at the North Pole, father, eh?"
21733Ai n''t it fun, father?
21733Am I a goose for recognising the fulfilment of an ancient prophecy?
21733Am I not saved from all-- and more than all-- of this?
21733And you must give us biskit an''--what do you call that brown stuff?"
21733At last Grabantak looked up, as if smitten by a new idea, and spoke--"Can Kablunet men fight?"
21733Awaking from his reverie at last, he said, abruptly,"How''s her head, father?"
21733Benjy, is not that Leo standing in front of the rest with another man?"
21733Better, I hope?"
21733But I say, Alf, have you nothing better than geological specimens in your box-- no grubological specimens, eh?"
21733But he''s rader a strong rem''dy, massa, don''you tink?
21733But then, how was it to end?
21733But, I say, daddy, how long are you going to keep us in the dark about your plans?
21733But, uncle, what of the Eskimos?
21733Buzzby,"cried the Captain,"but, I say, Alf, do n''t it seem to smack rather too much of selfishness?"
21733Can anything be clearer than that-- except the nose on Benjy''s face?
21733Can he not look on the great salt lake from the hummocks?
21733Can we pass this barrier, and, if not, what would he advise us to do?"
21733Can you blame him for lowering his spear, untying his eyebrows, and smiling blandly as the held out his hand?
21733Can you recall the great rivers of whale- oil from the sea into which they have been poured, or the blood of men from the earth that swallowed it?
21733Chingatok?"
21733Come along, the birds are growing impatient, do n''t you see?"
21733Could such a place have been made for nothing?
21733Could this be another bear?
21733D''ye know what it is, Chingatok?"
21733D''ye see that goose over there?"
21733D''ye see?"
21733D''ye suppose that nobody can swim but you and Benjy?
21733Did I not say that it could shriek and yell?
21733Did you ever make a friend of an enemy by beating him?"
21733Do I not revel in a regal realm of bliss?"
21733Do n''t you know what variation of the compass is?"
21733Do n''t you see that we are in agonies of suspense?"
21733Do n''t you trace it quite plainly?"
21733Do the maidens that weep rejoice?
21733Do the mothers that pine revive?
21733Do they hunt the walrus or the seal?"
21733Do you hear?"
21733Do you suppose I am so weak as to imagine that you would bring a packing- case all the way from England to the North Pole with nothing in it?"
21733Does Buzzby offer no consolatory remarks for such an occasion as this?"
21733Does it come from the moon or the sun?
21733Does it eat fire and smoke?"
21733Does not Benjy always carry him his morning cup of coffee when the weather is too bad for him to come hither?"
21733Does not this notebook prove him to be a Scot?
21733Eat smoke?"
21733Eh,_ Alf_?
21733Go, if you must go, but who will hunt for your poor old mother when you are gone?"
21733Had not meat to be procured, and then consumed?
21733Had the vehicle been suddenly furnished with wings?
21733Have I not heard him say that the world stands on nothing, spins on nothing, and rolls continually round the sun?
21733Have not all mothers acted thus, or similarly, in all times and climes?
21733Have we not just_ found_ him?
21733He ceased to grind his teeth, and stopping in front of the Captain, who had followed him, said in a low growl,"Do you think I will submit to insult?"
21733He said to me in the quietest way possible, just now,` Why do you give me_ your_ reasons when you tell me the Great Spirit has given His?
21733He says-- How can a man live peaceably with all men, and at the same time go to war with some men, kill them, and take their lands?"
21733How can anything spin on nothing?
21733However, this_ may_ be Greenland''s nose-- who knows?
21733I asked Blackbeard-- How can a world spin upon nothing?"
21733I say, Alf,"said the boy with an earnest look,"has n''t your favourite author got something to say about the bliss of ignorance?
21733I say, Anders, what are these creatures off the point there?
21733I say, may I go ahead of you?"
21733I shall now secure as much of our cargo as we have been able to save, and leave it here_ en cache_--""What sort of cash is that, father?"
21733If not, where did our tales and stories come from?
21733If so, what was he to do, whither to fly?
21733If there is no spirit in us that lives, of what use was it to make us at all?
21733If this Nort Pole is only a name and not a_ thing_, how can it_ be_?"
21733If you had been dreaming that would have wakened you-- wouldn''t it?"
21733In the big oomiak that they lost, some of the men did it, so-- puff, pull, puff, puff-- is it not funny?"
21733Is it land?"
21733Is n''t that a bit of water- sky over there?"
21733Is not war_ always_ loss, loss, loss, and_ never_ gain?
21733Is the World- Maker less wise than Pingasuk?
21733Is there no one up there?
21733Is there_ anything_ that passes the lips of man which he can not understand?"
21733Meanwhile, I''ll induce Teyma to get up an expedition to the island of this Maki- what?"
21733Moreover, had not Leo to act the part of physician and surgeon to the community?
21733Need it be said that an instant and vigorous search was instituted?
21733Need we enlarge on this point?
21733Need we say that the effect of the shot was wonderful?
21733Need we say that the feast was a great success?
21733Need we say that the strangers were at first gazed on with speechless wonder?
21733Need we say that, after this, they were careful how they used their axes and ice- chisels?
21733No one?
21733Now, the question is, how did he get there?"
21733Of what use have been all the wars of Flatland from Longtime till now?
21733Resolved to maintain his reputation for coolness, he said to his followers in imitation of Leo:--"Do you see that gull?"
21733Shall we turn in an''have a nap?
21733Surely He who made me and these Eskimos is capable of guarding us?
21733Surely you did n''t do it on purpose?"
21733Tell me, my son, where do the Kablunets live?
21733The chief frowned, clenched his teeth, and grasped a spear--"When did Kablunet men begin to have Eskimo sisters?"
21733The land may be far off, but am I not strong?
21733There are many stories told by fathers to sons, and fathers to sons, till they have all come down to us, and what do these stories teach us?
21733These are propellers-- human web- feet-- to enable me to walk ahead, d''ye see?
21733This kite system is like fitting a gigantic sail to a lilliputian boat, d''ye see?"
21733Was it large or small?
21733Was not the point in question one of vital importance to the wellbeing of the community-- indeed of the whole Arctic world?
21733What d''ye say to try a race with Leo?
21733What does Chingatok want to know?"
21733What does he mean by the three days of hard work coming to an end?"
21733What good has it done them?"
21733What great creature is that?
21733What is this great sea on which I float?
21733What say you, Chingatok?
21733What says Chingatok?"
21733What shall we call it?
21733What shall we call it?"
21733What time is it?"
21733What was to be done?
21733What_ can_ he be going to do?"
21733When Amalatok and Makitok heard the question propounded, they also said,"Why not?"
21733When did the Pole star become visible?"
21733When he comes to the great open sea what will he do without canoes?"
21733When would you like supper?"
21733Where did you leave him?"
21733Whither was he going?
21733Who ever before heard of the men of an expedition to the North Pole being kept in ignorance of the means by which they were to get there?"
21733Who has not?
21733Who made all that which I behold?"
21733Who will volunteer?"
21733Why came you to me alone?"
21733Why do you look perplexed, Butterface?"
21733Why doubt a fact so clearly proven, stubborn, stiff?
21733Why is this?
21733Why should I not go to see their land?
21733Why, where do you think we have got to?"
21733Will Grabantak allow us to be present at the council, think you?"
21733Will that do?"
21733Will you do me a great favour?
21733Will you send a young man in a kayak to Poloeland with a message from me to my people?
21733Would it not rather be deepened?"
21733Wrapped in my robe of ignorance, what_ can_ I miss?
21733You saw four mock- suns round the real one yesterday, did n''t you?
21733You say there is no chance of Grabantak being able to take the reins of government again for a long time?"
21733You''re sure, Anders, that you understood Chingatok''s description of the place?"
21733am I to lose that goose?"
21733and if there is, does he stay there alone?
21733and that the Eskimos kept for some time hovering round them at a respectful distance, as if uncertain how to act, but with their war- spears ready?
21733and the day before you saw icebergs floating in the air, eh?"
21733and when you have got your rock, and recovered your name, and pleased your fancy, do the brave young men that are dead return?
21733asked Leo,"who is that?"
21733asked Leo;"found your latitude higher than you expected?"
21733asked the Captain;"what says he to that, Anders?"
21733does he think that none but white men can kill far off?"
21733exclaimed the Captain,"are you sure?"
21733goin''t''squeeze''m all?"
21733have you been so long at sea with me and never heard yet about the magnetic pole?"
21733he asked in a low tone, when floating alone one day in his kayak, or skin canoe,"whence came I?
21733just like you; why did you do it?
21733muttered Captain Vane to himself in English; then to the giant in Eskimo,"What says Chingatok?"
21733no; what makes you think so?"
21733not even the Maker of it?
21733one of your enemies?"
21733repeated Alf in surprise,"have I been away all night?
21733shall Flatlanders become slaves?
21733shall the courage of the Poloes be questioned by all the surrounding tribes?
21733shall we sit down like frightened birds and see the black- livered cormorant steal what is ours?
21733that land on which I tread?
21733uncle; evil communications, eh?
21733what do you mean?"
21733what''s this?
21733where?
21733whither go I?
21733whom with?"
21733why, do n''t you see it?
21733would you kill me for_ that_?
21733would you not have me defend the Flatland name?"
21733you do n''t intend to carry the packing- case, uncle, do you?"
4581A matter of so little importance to anyone? 4581 A month?"
4581Ach, my friend,he said,"can you not better read a face?
4581Afraid, you simpleton?
4581After all, what does it matter?
4581And Helga? 4581 And if you fail?"
4581And whence come you? 4581 And you would go ugly for me?"
4581Another man came to me also, on a different errand,--Ragner Thorkelsson,--it may be that you saw him? 4581 Answer me this,--you know and must tell,--is he a high- minded warrior like Leif, or is he a money- loving trader?"
4581Are you blind to the greenness of yonder plain? 4581 Are you going to be forever swallowing?"
4581Are you her father''s thrall?
4581Are you such mannerless churls that I must remind you of what is due to a guest?
4581Because I go on a five days''journey, must it happen that my men lie like drunken swine along the roadside? 4581 But how came it that he was not slain for this?
4581But suppose they should not come soon enough? 4581 But what message?"
4581Can you tell anything yet concerning the drift- ice, foster- father? 4581 Certainly you are good mates to Ann the Simpleton, if you can not tell any better than that what would happen?
4581Certainly; do you not see that the light is only just fading from the mountain tops? 4581 Chief, are you going to turn me out to lie with the swine in the kitchen?"
4581Courage?
4581Despise you, Helga my sister? 4581 Did the ship bring more tidings of the battle?
4581Did they not offer your mother to go out in safety?
4581Did you ever breathe finer air? 4581 Did you know that it was not Thorhall the steward who found the knife that betrayed the English- man?
4581Do they also follow?
4581Do you all think I am a fool, that I do not know what I am doing? 4581 Do you dare tell me to my face that, because I order you to keep the peace, I am a coward?"
4581Do you know this for certain? 4581 Do you know what I just overheard in the crowd?
4581Do you mean by that that you have a right to give him orders? 4581 Do you not see that he believes he has found out her real motive?"
4581Do you not see what that means?
4581Do you not see?
4581Do you observe that he has let his crucifix slide around under his cloak where it is not likely to be noticed?
4581Do you still believe that I would rub salt on your wounds, if it were in my power to relieve you?
4581Do you still say that this is pleasanter than drowning?
4581Do you then imagine that the gold of your hair and the red of your cheeks is all that makes you fair?
4581Do you think it advisable for me to climb a tree?
4581Do you think me a craven, to let you go alone where you might be tricked or murdered? 4581 Do you truly, comrade?
4581Do you wish to drive me crazy?
4581Does a month seem long to you? 4581 Does it in truth exist, or is it a tale to amuse children with?"
4581For what purpose do you wish to know that?
4581Forgive? 4581 Greenland?"
4581Greenland?
4581Has Solveig told you all the latest tidings?
4581Has not my credit improved at ail, after all this time, foster- father?
4581Hatred?
4581Have I nothing to think of besides your follies? 4581 Have the wits been stolen out of you?
4581Have they drawn Earl Edmund''s blood out of you? 4581 He looks to be a man to be bold in the presence of chiefs, does he not?"
4581Heard the tidings as far as Normandy?
4581Help you, chief?
4581Hide your beauty and become a jest where you have always been a queen, for no other reason than to sink so low that I might reach up and pluck you? 4581 How comes it that he will stop before he has found out her real motive?
4581How comes it, then, that more than a year ago you told something concerning him which made Egil Olafsson his mortal foe?
4581How long am I to wait for you to have a free half- day?
4581How much warmer then is the state of my feelings toward one who is also a friend of Sigurd Haraldsson? 4581 How was I to know that Norman writing would be of assistance to you?
4581I admit that he is not the ruler in name, Greenland being a republic, but in fact--?
4581I ask you to tell me what manner of man this Gilli is?
4581I do; but what does that matter, since I can not marry you?
4581I learned in my boyhood; but last summer, on the dairy farm of Gilli of Trondhjem, I practised on sheep- skins--"Gilli of Trondhjem?
4581If I were altogether different, would I look like a Saxon maiden also?
4581If it please me?
4581Is he dead?
4581Is he in his sleeping- room?
4581Is it an insult, Alwin of England, to take you at your word? 4581 Is it anything about the ship that came yesterday?
4581Is it because you value him so highly that you keep him in chains?
4581Is it far from here? 4581 Is it likely that I will wait all day while two thralls quarrel over precedence?"
4581Is it likely that that will do us any good? 4581 Is it not a wonderful thought, Sigurd, that it was in God''s mind so long ago that we should some day want to come here?"
4581Is it not well fitted to succeed? 4581 Is it possible that you are sober after all?
4581Is it sense for a man to trust his slumbers to a dog that has bitten him once? 4581 Is it wasting grief to mourn the death of Alwin of England, than whom God never made a nobler or higher- minded man?"
4581Is it your intention to do anything exciting, like quarrelling with Thorhall as you did last night? 4581 Is it your opinion that I am the only person who is thinking of ghosts to- night?"
4581Is it your opinion that Leif Ericsson needs your protection against wild beasts?
4581Is it your opinion that they are ghosts, or devils?
4581Is my brother Thorstein also in Greenland?
4581Is that all that you made of such a chance as that?
4581Is that all you have to say to news of such importance? 4581 Is that what you told him?"
4581It is your opinion, then, that a man must be a coward to fear me?
4581Jarl- born? 4581 Leif Ericsson,"he returned, fiercely,"when-- for love of good or fear of ill-- have you ever known me to lie?"
4581Not Helga the Fair of Trondhjem,she gasped,"who fled from Gilli to his kinsfolk in Greenland?
4581Oh, comrade, do you indeed think favorably of the plan?
4581Runes? 4581 Saw you ever a prettier spot?
4581Sigurd, do you remember that western land Biorn Herjulfsson saw? 4581 Sigurd?
4581Skroppa?
4581So?
4581So?
4581So?
4581So?
4581Speak you of Gilli?
4581Stones?
4581The western shore? 4581 Then Leif himself has turned Christian?"
4581Then do you promise that she will be given to me? 4581 There is more where this came from?
4581There?
4581They are there; do you not see? 4581 To us it meant life or death, heaven or hell,--was it worthy of a man like you to find amusement in our suffering?"
4581Was it not thus that the first line ran?
4581What are these tidings concerning my kinswoman, which your wife hesitates to speak? 4581 What are you called?"
4581What are you called?
4581What are you smiling at?
4581What are you talking about?
4581What can he mean by such an ending?
4581What do I care for that?
4581What has he done,demanded Valbrand,"that you should so far forget the law as to attack another man''s thrall?"
4581What hast thou, my son?
4581What have I done to make me deserving of such a doom? 4581 What is it your intention to do?"
4581What is the meaning of that?
4581What is the reason of this?
4581What is the rest of her name?
4581What is this I see, chief? 4581 What is to become of Leif''s renown, if the glory is to go to that old pagan?"
4581What is to hinder my biting now?
4581What is your errand with me?
4581What more is there to do about it?
4581What prevents you from getting your sword? 4581 What then is a shield- maiden who is afraid of her kinswoman?"
4581What was the message that you wrote to my mother for Leif?
4581Where are the bracelets and gold laces suitable to your rank? 4581 Where does she live?"
4581Where has Sigurd gone?
4581Where have the other men gone? 4581 Where is my father, Thorhall?"
4581Where shall we go, then?
4581Where shall we go?
4581Whither do you betake yourself now?
4581Who dares interrupt my sleep when the visions of things I wish to know are passing before me? 4581 Who is it that is to command me how I shall choose my servants?
4581Who said that he was banished? 4581 Why can it not happen for a year?"
4581Why do you ask that which is useless?
4581Why should I be angry with you? 4581 Why?"
4581Will you do that?
4581Will you stand there and talk? 4581 Would you stain your honorable sword with a thing so foul as thrall- blood?"
4581Yet after such honors why does he banish him?
4581You finished the records this morning?
4581You have had this power all these months that you have known of my great need? 4581 You have not outrun your curiosity, have you?
4581You remember hearing of Egil''s father Olaf, who was so ill- tempered that Egil dared not go home and confess that he had become a Christian? 4581 You will come with me to camp, Sigurd my comrade?"
4581You will swear to the truth of the tale?
4581You-- knew--?
4581--"After this she will embroider boar- hunts on tapestry!"--"Embroider?
4581--"Did they quarrel?"
4581--"Has Leif quarrelled with King Olaf, that the King has banished him?"
4581--"Has word come that Eric is dead?"
4581--"In the Troll''s name, why?"
4581--"In three days?
4581--"Is he a coward, or what does he lack?"
4581--"Is it in the Norman tongue that they are speaking?"--"Normandy?
4581--"Is it possible that there is treachery?"
4581--"Is the chief witch- ridden?"
4581--"Was ever such luck as the Lucky One''s?"
4581--"What for?"
4581--"Yes, why?"
4581A guest is come in; Where shall he sit?
4581A horse fight?
4581After a while he said carelessly,"Obliged, chief?
4581After all, what proof had he?
4581Am I to despise a tool that Heaven has sent me because a clod at my feet is jealous?
4581And Thorhild?
4581And could those tales be true that the old women told, of terrible magical beings living on its silent frozen peaks?
4581And do you believe that Thorhild will give me up to him?"
4581And do you not feel the sun upon you?"
4581And do you remember the fine feasts Eric was wo nt to make?"
4581And in what direction?"
4581And of what kin?"
4581And there,--do you remember that black mane?
4581And what lay beyond it?
4581And what of the ship?
4581And why do you steer the ship so close to the wind?"
4581And you found it in Skroppa''s den?
4581Are those ghosts, or devils?"
4581Are you dead or moonstruck that I must shout twenty times before you answer?
4581Are you in a hurry?"
4581Are your accomplishments so limited to your weapons that when you can not use your sword you must lie idle?
4581But so much anguish was betrayed in her face, that Alwin gave another short laugh and asked her:"Who is it now that love is making a coward of?"
4581But will not penance make it right?"
4581Can I not, Tyrker?"
4581Can they be stones that I am able to treat like this?"
4581Can you not see that he is no more thrall- born than you are?
4581Can you not tell me shortly whether or not you got the malt?"
4581Could not his value outweigh his crime?"
4581Courage, the boldness of the devil himself, who of the North but has that?
4581Coward, what are you afraid of?"
4581Despise you for being the bravest comrade and the truest friend a man ever had?"
4581Did a girl ever wear a helmet like a silver bowl, and a kirtle that stopped at the knee?
4581Did you dream of that, Jarl''s son?
4581Did you learn whose it is?
4581Did you not see the black look he gave me as I left?"
4581Did you really care nothing for him yourself?
4581Did you return by Eric''s Fiord, and learn whose ship it is that is coming in?"
4581Do you boast of your deed?"
4581Do you hear?
4581Do you know that he has come to take me away?"
4581Do you know where he is hidden?"
4581Do you not remember Skroppa''s prophecy?
4581Do you not see it?
4581Do you not see?"
4581Do you not think that would be good entertainment?"
4581Do you remember the prophecy,--that when I stand on that ground I shall stand there by the side of Leif Ericsson?"
4581Do you see?
4581Do you think it improves your honor that a stranger should dare to insult your chosen leader in your presence?"
4581Do you think it matters to me how soon my death- day comes?"
4581Do you think men who trade among the Christians are so little- minded as Eric?
4581Do you think that I would live a life that sprang from such a death?
4581Do you think to throw shame upon my hospitality before my guests?
4581Do you think we can climb the bluff before they turn the bend and see us?"
4581Do you understand that it is your enemy that they are ridding you of?
4581Do you wish me to go in with you and break it now?"
4581Does the ocean end in a wall of ice, or would we fall off the earth and go tumbling heels over head through the darkness--?
4581For which?
4581From the darkness, Sigurd''s voice interrupted softly:"Is Kark there?"
4581Has Leif less spirit than a wood- goat?
4581Has it happened, as I supposed, that there is going to be a feast, and Leif is asked to it?"
4581Has it never been given you to hear of shipwrecks?
4581Have the wits left both of you?
4581Have witches sucked the blood out of you, that your mind is so different when you are put to the test?"
4581Have ye not learned yet that cold steel often lies hid under a fair tunic?
4581Have you a weapon?"
4581Have you forgotten how you used to steal me away from my embroidery to hunt with you?"
4581Have you forgotten my hatred against clothes so fine that one must be careful of them?
4581Have you heard that?
4581Have you left your eyes behind you in your hurry?"
4581Have you never heard the love- tale of Hagberth and Signe?
4581Have you not yet learned that in Greenland people do not take long strolls in the winter- time?"
4581He is the strongest man in Greenland; did you know that?
4581He opened his lips to ask,"Why?"
4581He retorted angrily:"Do you suppose that my wits were cut off with my hair, so that I can not tell stones from bread?"
4581He said harshly:"I wonder if she would be wise enough to tell whom Leif will marry you to before the feasting is over?"
4581He who got the victory over the Danes?
4581Her bowerwoman told Helga, and when I met Helga--""Met her?
4581Here is one good job done; what next?"
4581How am I to get my freedom?
4581How am I to save her?
4581How are you entertaining yourself this morning, while he is absent?"
4581How came that?
4581How came you by him?"
4581How can they believe that he has forgotten his faith or given it up, when they can not look at him without seeing also the sign of his God?"
4581How comes it that you have never put forth a hand to help me?"
4581How could I have the heart to remain in safety, without knowing whether Alwin lived or died?
4581How could I spend my days decking myself in fine clothes, while my best friend fought for his life?
4581How dear would this thrall be?"
4581How is it possible that it has held such a secret for four months, and still looks just as usual?
4581How is that likely?"
4581How long am I to wait?"
4581How much will you pay me for him, Karl Grimsson?"
4581How was it possible for me to do otherwise?
4581I ask you to tell me how long I shall have to endure this?"
4581I dare not hope that it is because Leif delayed you with some new friendliness?"
4581I have done nothing that is dishonorable,--should I dare to come before Leif''s face if I had?
4581I warn you that I shall kill the first who laughs,--and who could help laughing?"
4581I will not deny that we may have expected too many opportunities for valiant deeds, yet are there no other ways in which to serve?
4581If I may not pass my last day with the man and woman that I hold dearest, still you are next in my love; you will accompany me, will you not?"
4581If he can not keep that look out of his eyes, why does he not shut them?"
4581If he was going to pry into her motives, what might not the next words bring out?
4581If only Eric were so minded--""Is Eric the ruler in Greenland?"
4581In the name of wonder, what had happened to them?
4581In the northeast corner of the provision shed, was it not, Sigurd?"
4581In what land, and in what form, do the Norman''s thoughts travel?"
4581Is Gilli dead?"
4581Is Gilli of Trondhjem dead?"
4581Is he yours, that you may slay him because you dislike the tilt of his nose?
4581Is his wife going to make a feast to welcome him?"
4581Is it Leif''s intention to keep you dangling at his heels forever, like a tassel on an apron?
4581Is it a time to be riding horseback or catching fish?
4581Is it after such fashion that a jarl- born man with accomplishments addresses his lord in your country?"
4581Is it allowed a dog of a slave to seek entertainment?"
4581Is it because she is my mother that you give that title to me also?"
4581Is it certain that King Olaf Trygvasson is slain?"
4581Is it indeed your wish that I should act as though I cared nothing for him?
4581Is it likely that she knows which end of the needle to put the thread through?"
4581Is it of King Olaf that you are thinking?
4581Is it of any use to hope for wild beasts here?"
4581Is it of any use to try to buy you from him?"
4581Is it possible that you have the accomplishment of writing them?"
4581Is it to be expected that a man would take it well to be fooled by a pair of boys?"
4581Is it worth while for me to give my life for a lie?
4581Is not that a light down there?"
4581Is she in the women''s- house?"
4581Is that a rock or a ship which I see straight ahead?"
4581It is all well enough to scratch pictures on a rock or carve them on a door; but what will you do when you wish to move?
4581It read this way, after the greeting:''Do you remember the child you sent to Eric?
4581It seems that you can read runes: can you also write them?"
4581It would all come right in time; you would not mind the waiting?"
4581Know you of it?"
4581Leif is eager to get renown; suppose he takes it into his head to make this voyage himself?"
4581Or did you imagine that I knew you so little as to think you capable of loving one man in the winter and another in the spring?
4581Or did you think I had not heard to whom your heart had been given?
4581Or do you think that ill luck can change a jarl''s son into a dog?
4581Or was it the grain of truth in the reproach that stayed him?
4581Perhaps she their runes also understands?"
4581Plenty, you say?"
4581She cried out joyfully:"A ship in Einar''s Fiord?
4581She had disappeared,--where?
4581Suppose he should recognize you at once?"
4581Suppose we were to sail still further west?
4581Suppose your disguise should be too shallow?
4581Swallowing enough of the smoked meat in her mouth to make speaking practicable, Helga answered:"He will be away two days yet; did I not tell you?
4581That my ears only had been dead to the love tale which every servant- maid in Brattahlid rolled like honey on her tongue?
4581The anger faded from his face and he said quietly:"Can you not bear so small a thing as that, for so great a cause as the spreading of your faith?"
4581The day after that, Kark dared to say to me,''Is a shield- maiden as fickle as other women, for all her steel shirt?
4581Then it is likely that you can handle a sword?"
4581Then the King said, while he still looked at the torch,''Do you purpose sailing to Greenland in the summer?''
4581Tyrker poked his head out to say"So?"
4581Tyrker stroked his beard, with an- other sidelong glance at his foster- son, as he said, cautiously:"So?
4581Was Astrid away from home?
4581Was all your loyalty to him a lie?
4581Was cloth so costly in Norway that Leif could afford no more for a skirt?
4581Was ever monkish work begun in more unchurch- like surroundings?
4581Was it by a feat of arms that you won your first honor with the chief?
4581Was it possible that reproach rang in those last words?
4581Was it to be expected that I could help coming?"
4581We must leave it in a moment; do you not hear that?"
4581What Sigurd?"
4581What can it matter, now that Hot- Head is dead?
4581What for?"
4581What harm can I do?"
4581What have you fixed upon?"
4581What if her nature is such that she is cross?
4581What if it were all a trap, a plot?--if Rolf had brought him there on purpose to fight, the horses being only a pretext?
4581What if the straight lines were crooked,--if the draperies were wooden,--the hands and the feet ungainly?
4581What in the Fiend''s name do you here, asleep by the road in company with a thrall and a purple cloak?"
4581What is he doing now?"
4581What is he like?"
4581What is it called?"
4581What is it if now and then she herself strikes me?
4581What is it likely that we would come to?
4581What is it that he expects to come through it?"
4581What is it that keeps you?
4581What is it to you if he is chopped to pieces?
4581What is the color of the clothes that priests wear in England?"
4581What kind of luck could that bring?"
4581What know you of my blood?
4581What made it stop there, he wondered?
4581What trouble can we get into if we remain here without speaking, and give them plenty of room to pass by us into the hall?"
4581What will you give to hear good tidings?"
4581When did I say anything against lodging you?
4581When did you ever tell me of your need?"
4581When the steersman had finished, he asked,"Is Kark slain?"
4581Where are your eyes that you can not see anything remarkable?
4581Where does she live?"
4581Where is she?"
4581Where?
4581Where?
4581Who is your master?
4581Who knows what would jump out at us?
4581Who knows what you might not find this time, if you would but take my luck along with you?"
4581Who would have thought of avoiding it?
4581Why could I not have been buried where human feet would pass over me, and human voices fall on my ear at night?"
4581Why could I not have died when Leif cut me down?
4581Why did he not land and explore?"
4581Why did we ever doubt him?
4581Why do you in your face so red grow?"
4581Why do you talk such foolishness, and hinder me from my work?
4581Why is she never spoken of?
4581Why should I care what the Norman is doing?
4581Will you keep them starving while you gabble?
4581Will you not come with us, after all?"
4581With all his prudence, Sigurd began to laugh; and Alwin burst out in a passion of impatience:"For which, you gabbler?
4581Would the chief let this also pass by?
4581Would those jests never grow stale on their tongues?
4581Would we have time to go there to- day?"
4581Would you be merry, had you found Helga the drudge of an English camp?"
4581Would you choke him?
4581Would you have him attend on Leif and do your work as well?
4581Would you save him by deafening each other?
4581Would you think it worth while to do that for me?"
4581Yesterday Freydis, Eric''s daughter, drove over, and all the while she was here she talked of nothing but--""Eric''s daughter?"
4581Yet could it be a girl?
4581Yet what am I to think of these words of yours?
4581Yet will not a roll of fresh white vadmal offer a fair substitute?
4581Yet, how could I believe that a man of your wit would allow such a thing to come to pass?
4581Yonder, bending over that shield?
4581You have got another bowerman in place of my son, whom your father gave to you?
4581You managed to get me banished, and you shot three arrows at me to kill me; and all because of what?
4581You see, my son?
4581_ Aber_,--how have you managed it from him to escape?"
4581and how we were wo nt to plan to run away to it, when I grew tired of embroidering and Leif kept you overlong at your exercises?"
4581has not Sigurd told you of it?--that it is in this new untrodden country that my fate is to be decided?
42925A King to check or hinder us in our rights? 42925 A King?"
42925A credit?
42925A fort at the Prairie?
42925A thousand people? 42925 Am I your wife?"
42925An interpreter?
42925An''now who be ye, an''whar are ye from?
42925And Vigo? 42925 And beyond?"
42925And can you go?
42925And did they open their ears?
42925And did you name a river for Sacajawea, too?
42925And do we not all swear by the King?
42925And does he yet live?
42925And have you any kine- pox? 42925 And have you never served in the field?"
42925And have_ you_ no word of yourself or of Kentucky?
42925And my Mandan?
42925And pray, when will that be?
42925And related to all those great people?
42925And so the Spaniards have come to terms?
42925And the Pawnees?
42925And the land?
42925And was Cresap guilty?
42925And was that when the Spanish lady was here?
42925And was your father a chief, and your father''s father?
42925And what are these bills for?
42925And what became of her finally?
42925And what has William been doing?
42925And what have you learned?
42925And what have you named the young soldier?
42925And what if England wins?
42925And what is the news from Virginia?
42925And what makes your hair so white?
42925And where?
42925And whom shall we call Father, the British at Malden or the Americans at St. Louis? 42925 And will the Americans not trade?"
42925And will you join them?
42925And will you march with the minute men?
42925And will you not come to my father''s house?
42925And you are no longer in the army?
42925And you call us lily flowers?
42925And your great brother, George Rogers Clark?
42925And, sir, may I lead that exploration?
42925Any more of ye?
42925Any settlers comin''? 42925 Are you an officer?"
42925Are you my husband?
42925Boone? 42925 Boundaries?"
42925But Colonel Clark said the weather was warm?
42925But whom can we send on such a monumental enterprise?
42925Can I be of any assistance?
42925Can not provision be made to better their condition? 42925 Can they have spanned the ravine in this brief time?"
42925Can we make one?
42925Can you refute the charge?
42925Captinne, you remember w''en we reach de rivers and you knew not which to follow? 42925 Clark, the invincible, where is he?"
42925Colonel Clark? 42925 Come you alone?"
42925Congress?
42925De country? 42925 Deed not de great Napoleon guarantee our leebertee?"
42925Departed? 42925 Did he intend to do it?"
42925Did he not in the late war deal severely with the hostile tribes? 42925 Did that prevent Governor Hamilton from sending an armed force of British and Indians to besiege Boonsboro?"
42925Did you get the powder?
42925Did you not say the conquerors of Vincennes waded through the drowned lands in February?
42925Did you sign?
42925Do you make gunpowder of them? 42925 Do you remember, Dan,"Phillips would say,"when we had you prisoner at Detroit?
42925Do you see that high, narrow, rocky island at the head of the rapids? 42925 Do you see those hunters?"
42925Do you stand for France, revolution and infidelity?
42925Do you take us for savages?
42925Do you think Americans would strip women and children and take the bread out of their mouths? 42925 Do you think I can take Detroit?"
42925Does he want you to lead an exploring party to the Pacific Ocean?
42925Does not the fame of your youthful achievements linger yet around the woods of Monticello? 42925 Done?
42925Done? 42925 For are not our messengers coming?"
42925For why? 42925 Franklin a great orator?
42925From the south? 42925 General Clark seized Spanish goods?"
42925Go back now? 42925 Go?
42925God knows we would help you if we could, but how do we even know that Kentucky will belong to us? 42925 Going?
42925Has he no recognition?
42925Have they wigwams and much buffalo?
42925Have you found us a tract?
42925Have you heard of John Jacob Astor?
42925Have you spoken thus to all the tribes?
42925Here, Sacajawea, does this belong to your people?
42925Hey and away, and what news?
42925His boats passed in safety, why not ours?
42925How could he do that?
42925How did it happen?
42925How did you dress this sausage so quick, Charboneau? 42925 How did you escape?"
42925How many chiefs will accompany us to Washington?
42925How many of the Clackamas nation?
42925How many of you can stay with me?
42925How much do I owe ye?
42925How much money do you think it would take?
42925How much will you pay for the whole province?
42925How old are you?
42925How? 42925 Hull surrendered?"
42925Hull?
42925I hope my son has been a credit to his country?
42925Is he a chief? 42925 Is it not dangerous to invade the Shawnee country?"
42925Is it, really, now? 42925 Is our fur trade to be cut off by these beggarly rebels and Spaniards?
42925Is there any hope there? 42925 Is this the young Virginian that is sending home all the western Governors?"
42925Jefferson-- bought New Orleans? 42925 Kenton?
42925Land, mother? 42925 Let me fight with you?"
42925Mackinac? 42925 Marie, Marie Antoinette,--did she not use her influence in behalf of Franklin''s mission to secure the acknowledgment of American independence?
42925May I have your portrait as a typical handsome American?
42925May I stay for the night?
42925Miss Judy?
42925Money? 42925 Move Boone and Kenton and Logan back?"
42925My boy- brother in the hands of those monsters?
42925My father,said Wabasha,"what is this I see on the floor before me?
42925My pretty cousin going to marry that ugly man?
42925Napoleon? 42925 Now what shall you do with me?"
42925Now who will go with me?
42925Now, in case we never reach the United States,said Lewis,"what then?"
42925Of what use are beaver?
42925Patterick Hennery? 42925 Peace?"
42925Prairie du Chien lost? 42925 Retreat?"
42925Rising Moose?
42925Science, did you say? 42925 See de colour?
42925Shall I become an Arnold and give up my country? 42925 Shall we accept the missionaries?
42925Shall we be butchered by the Sacs?
42925Shall we expel these American traders from the North Pacific?
42925Shall we listen to Tecumseh?
42925Shall we submit? 42925 Slavery in Missouri?"
42925So remote a frontier? 42925 Son of Boone, de great hunter?
42925Take it, man? 42925 Tecumseh?
42925The Americans taken San Loui''?
42925The Assembly adjourned? 42925 The Big Knives?"
42925The Cherokees sold Kentucky? 42925 The English?
42925The nature of the Insurrection?
42925The precious pier glass my dead mother brought over from France? 42925 The son of Governor Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition, did you say?"
42925They are going to meet in Williamsburg, eh? 42925 Those Bostonians, are they undermining our trade in furs with China?"
42925To the disadvantage of the whites? 42925 Travel by night?
42925Traveller''s Rist, is it?
42925Uncle Clark, when did you first have this carriage? 42925 Virginia is straining every nerve to help Washington; how can she be expected to waste gunpowder on Kentucky?"
42925Wapato? 42925 War with England is inevitable; shall we be able to defend Louisiana?
42925Warm, did you say? 42925 We haf a stockade, you note it?
42925Well, Pompey, did you overtake Colonel Tarleton?
42925Well, sirrah, did you get the powder?
42925What Kaintucke?
42925What accident has happened to your hand?
42925What are you doing?
42925What can have become of Richard?
42925What can it be?
42925What did he say?
42925What did he use?
42925What did we find? 42925 What did we find?
42925What did we find? 42925 What did you find?"
42925What do they say?
42925What do they say?
42925What do you mean?
42925What does it matter to those people beyond the Alleghanies? 42925 What does it mean?"
42925What ees wanted?
42925What for?
42925What has become of my captured Governors?
42925What have we learned? 42925 What have you done?"
42925What is Tecumseh doing?
42925What is it?
42925What is it?
42925What is it?
42925What is that noise at the river?
42925What is the cause of your war?
42925What is the matter?
42925What is this I hear of those Bostonians?
42925What is your plan?
42925What luck?
42925What news of the winter?
42925What next, massa?
42925What now will you have?
42925What shall we give to you?
42925What was it that defeated us? 42925 What wicked design have they on our country?"
42925What will Congress do?
42925What will Kentucky do?
42925What will you pay for all Louisiana?
42925What wish you?
42925What would I have done with the Queen?
42925What, Edmund gone, too?
42925What, Hunt who kept an Indian shop here on the Rue?
42925What? 42925 What?
42925What? 42925 What?
42925What? 42925 What?
42925What? 42925 What?"
42925When did they shoot at your man?
42925When did they start?
42925Where are you going, now?
42925Where are you going?
42925Where do they hide themselves all winter? 42925 Where do you come from and what business have you here?"
42925Where from? 42925 Where is Captain Lewis?"
42925Where is Patrick Gass?
42925Where is my old friend, Daniel Boone?
42925Where is my powder? 42925 Where is our national honour?
42925Where is the garrison? 42925 Where is your master?
42925Where you come from?
42925Which is the true Missouri?
42925Which way did he go?
42925White men, did you say? 42925 Who are these traders?"
42925Who commands at Cahokia?
42925Who could have brought this letter?
42925Who gave you leave to hunt on Osage lands?
42925Who has suffered more for the King than we self- same Cavaliers, we who have given Virginia her most honourable name--''The Old Dominion''? 42925 Who is Black Hawk?"
42925Who owned the peltries the Osages took?
42925Who, then?
42925Why are we safe from Bonaparte?
42925Why did the Indians fall upon us while the Governor sat in the Shawnee towns?
42925Why did you go to war?
42925Why do n''t he go?
42925Why do you go into the wilderness?
42925Why do you live so isolated?
42925Why have you disobeyed my orders?
42925Why is my lord safe in the enemy''s country?
42925Why need we fear? 42925 Why not let us fight?"
42925Why should it not continue over the old Detroit trail to Montreal?
42925Why these fortifications, these bastions and stone towers?
42925Why, then, do you interrupt it?
42925Why, what is the matter?
42925Why?
42925Will anything short of the complete conquest of the Canadas enable us to prevent their influence on our Indians?
42925Will it dismember the Union for the Louisianians to break their fetter from Spain and thereby give us a market clear of duty? 42925 Will the gorge break?"
42925Will you command the army at Detroit?
42925Will you do that?
42925William, have you brought the mulberry cuttings?
42925William, have you the catalpa seeds?
42925You laugh?
42925You? 42925 _ Kah mesika Illahee?_--Where is your country?"
42925_ Katah mesika chaco?_inquired Captain Lewis.
42925_What river is this, Dorion?"
42925About eighteen?
42925Again Lewis put the question,"What stream, Dorion?"
42925An attack?
42925And Arnold?
42925And Fanny?
42925And Menard''s?
42925And again in the Autumn,--"What is it?"
42925And by means of a_ Clark_ at that?
42925And is this to be the end of all our fought- for liberty, that Napoleon should rule America?"
42925And that diaphanous cloud,--was it a dress?
42925And the beautiful Donna De Leyba?
42925And what do you say of the Osage lands?
42925And who can tell it?
42925And who is to pay the bills incurred in the Illinois conquest?
42925And who swore better by the King?
42925And why should he not?
42925And yet Wabasha, dignified and of superior understanding, when asked,"Wabasha?
42925Are not our relation wit de Indian friendly?
42925Are we not Americans?"
42925Are you going to build?"
42925As Washington went forty years before to inquire of the French,"Why are you building forts on the Ohio?"
42925Bones?
42925But Virginia, bankrupt, impoverished, prostrate, answered only,--"We have given you land warrants, what more can you ask?"
42925But from what old treasure stores did those girls bring garments, homespun and new and woolly and warm, prepared against this day of reunion?
42925But how could that be when Milly married while Meriwether was away soldiering on the Ohio?
42925But the Donna?
42925But the chief asked me,''Can ye run fast?''
42925But what could she do?
42925But when did George Rogers Clark ever stop to eat when there was fighting on hand?
42925But where was Dunmore?
42925By what right does he speak?"
42925Can genius surmount destitution?
42925Can we restore fortifications that are in ruins?
42925Can you fit me out in the name of Virginia?"
42925Can you help?"
42925Close the Mississippi for twenty- five years as a price of commercial advantage on the Atlantic coast?
42925Could I have done with less?
42925Could he dream what destruction lay in their course?
42925Could he hold the lawless West?
42925Could he then foresee that Judith would become his wife, or that the verdant Judith Basin would be the last retreat of the buffalo?
42925Could it be possible that the Governor meant all these fine phrases?
42925Could it have been a corrupted tradition of the crucifixion of Christ?
42925Could such a prize be foregone for any defect of eyesight?
42925De cannon at gates?
42925Did he cast regretful eyes this way?
42925Did he commit suicide in a moment of aberration, or was he foully murdered by an unknown hand on that 11th of October, 1809?
42925Did he hope yet to win consent to his marriage with Louisa?
42925Did not Patrick Henry''s father drink the King''s health at the head of his regiment?
42925Did some poor stranded mariner teach the savage this semi- civilised architecture, or was it evolved by his own genius?
42925Did the Spaniard still hope to stay?
42925Did you say the Virginians had come?"
42925Do they preserve you from sickness?
42925Do they serve you beyond the grave?"
42925Do you ask?
42925Do you recall his thoughtfulness in sending for our horses when we feared they might be stolen?
42925Had he not from childhood obeyed John Clark''s command,"Look after your young master"?
42925Had he not led rangers from Fairfax''s lodge to the farthest edge of Bottetourt?
42925Had not the Shawnees harried his border for years?
42925Had some Spanish sailor told of a shore"like his own green Arragon"?
42925Had they brought back gold then what might have been the effect upon the restless, heaving East?
42925Hamilton, with the blood of many a borderer on his head,--what had he to hope?
42925He had lately purchased a three- and- a- half arpent piece of land north of St. Louis for a home for his mother,--or was it for Maria?
42925He was locally regarded as a great literary man, for had not the journals of his expedition been given to the world?
42925His village?
42925How can that be?"
42925How could boats be made to go against the current?
42925How could they withstand the onslaught of Hamilton and his artillery?
42925How did you come?"
42925How long since they burned our boats and cargoes at Fort Bellevue?
42925How much more remained to conquer?
42925How old were you then?
42925How soon might the theatre of action come over the sea?
42925How would you like to lead such a party?
42925I dislike old John Clark?
42925II_ THE CLARK HOME_"What do you see, William?"
42925IX_ THE ROMANCE OF THE MANDANS_"What will they find?"
42925IX_ TRADE FOLLOWS THE FLAG_"_ Bon jour_, Ms''ieu, you want to know where dat Captinne?"
42925If she died who would unlock the Gates of the Mountains?
42925Is he to control us also?"
42925Is he well and enjoying the fruits of his valour?"
42925Is that the boom of distant cannon?
42925Is that true?"
42925Is that why people call our George the''Washington of the West''?"
42925Is this all you promised at the beginning of the war?
42925It was a dastardly deed, but what arm had yet compassed the lawless frontier?
42925Judith, did you say?
42925Kentucky, even Pittsburg, looked for an immediate savage inundation,--for was not all that misty West full of warriors?
42925Louis?"
42925May I inquire whence you come?"
42925Must Kentucky lie still and be scalped?"
42925Now what can be done?"
42925Of all men in the world why should Meriwether Lewis commit suicide?
42925Paint my pictur''?"
42925Patterick Hennery?
42925Pierre Cruzatte was near- sighted and one- eyed, but what of that?
42925Pittsburg?
42925See it boil and roll?"
42925Shall I, a private individual?"
42925Shall we hearken to their teaching?"
42925Should that dismay a trader?"
42925Starving did you say?
42925That same old yarn to frighten the people?
42925The Indian?
42925The Sioux?
42925The Virginians?
42925The battle of Point Pleasant?
42925The frontiersman?
42925The owl inquired,"Who?
42925The scintillating blue eyes burned with an inward light, emitting fire, as Patrick Henry leaned to inquire,"What would you do in case of a repulse?"
42925The young commandant read and bowed his head,--was it a moment of irresolution?
42925Then turning to his brother,"Do you remember Pierre Drouillard, the Frenchman that saved Kenton?
42925Then what bulwark will you have to shield you from the savages?
42925They were pleased to hear of your safe return...."As to Napoleon... the news of his having abdicated the throne--""Napoleon abdicated?"
42925To the sources of the Mississippi?
42925Twenty- five years must we be cut off when the Wilderness Road is thronged with packtrains, when the Ohio is black with flatboats?
42925Twenty- five years when our grain is rotting?
42925Two bobs and a flirt in the dirty Missouri?"
42925Very often the Captains caught themselves asking:"Charboneau, when will dinner be ready?"
42925Wabasha, the Sioux, and Matchekewis--""How do you know?"
42925Wapato?"
42925Was Jefferson thinking of those days when George Rogers Clark gave drafts on New Orleans for the conquest of Illinois?
42925Was he killed by the Indians, or was he drowned?
42925Was it a beginning of that strange new malady that by the next Spring had grown into a devouring plague,--the dreaded Asiatic cholera?
42925Was it because he bore the name of Clark?
42925Was not France our friend in the time of trouble?"
42925Was that the woodpecker?
42925Weeks before, when the land was ringing with his valour, the President had congratulated him and asked,"Do you remember me?"
42925Well, where have you been?
42925Were they not next- door neighbours, hobnobbing over the fence as it were?
42925What Governor before ever lost his head on such a charge?
42925What are your defences?"
42925What arrangement did you make with the Foxes about boundaries?"
42925What did the Governor do?
42925What did they trade at the Saskatchewan?
42925What does the Governor mean?
42925What does this mean?"
42925What had happened?
42925What has Congress?
42925What hope with a foreign nation at our gates?
42925What if he had won Rebecca?
42925What little bird whispered"Oregon"in Carver''s ear?
42925What news?"
42925What shall we have left?"
42925What was he saying?
42925What was he trying to do?
42925What?"
42925What?"
42925When before had Wabasha stood?
42925When was it new?"
42925Where are those promises you made?
42925Where are you going?"
42925Where do they think we are going to pen our people?
42925Where do they think we are going to ship our produce?
42925Where have you been?
42925Where is the Governor?"
42925Where lay that line?
42925Where was Joshua Grinder?
42925Where was Neely himself?
42925Where were those servants?
42925Which was preferable, the tyranny of kings or the Indian firestake?
42925Who better than Clark knew the border and the Indian?
42925Who but chiefs should visit there?
42925Who can tell?
42925Who could say at what hour the waters would resound with their whoops?
42925Who has told it?
42925Who is right and who is wrong?
42925Who is there to mourn for Logan?
42925Who knows what Clark would have called warm weather in February?
42925Who knows what fortune may do for you?"
42925Who shall refuse us?
42925Who shall relieve our distresses?"
42925Who then shall pay it but Congress?
42925Who?
42925Who?"
42925Why, instead of peaceably following the game and providing for your families, do you send out war parties to destroy each other?
42925Why, of all that army, had Wayne chosen the young lieutenant of the Fourth Sub- Legion for this errand?
42925Will Americans endure that?
42925Will Black Hawk apply that spark?
42925Will these presents pay for the men we lost?
42925Will you march with us on New Orleans?"
42925Will you not command of both side de river?
42925Will_ they_ find the Shining Mountains and the River of the West?
42925With an armed boat?"
42925Would Canada now be a peaceful sister of the States?
42925Would he be apt to let the United States get ahead of him?
42925Would he survive a winter among the Blackfeet?
42925Would they not act as a barrier to tribes more remote?
42925XI_ A PRISONER OF WAR_"A prisoner of war?
42925are ye going to run aff and leave me all to mesilf?"
42925bought the Mississippi?
42925bought the entire boundless West?"
42925going to war?"
42925he cried,"and be the divil, will yez try to make sport of mesilf?"
42925still hope to conquer America?
42925who cud tek cah o''Mars Clahk so well as old Yawk?"
30298''Twas me hailed yez, and what of it?
30298A coward? 30298 A summons?
30298Am I so engaged in affairs that I can not see the obvious, my dear?
30298An officer, did ye say?
30298And did I, Mr. Jefferson? 30298 And how did Arcturus perform for you this morning?"
30298And no man has come into the camp from below-- no horseman?
30298And so Captain Lewis is going to have his way as usual? 30298 And what have you found?"
30298And what of that, my son? 30298 And what of you, Governor?"
30298And what then?
30298And why not? 30298 And why not?"
30298And yet you try to evade the truth? 30298 And you are done your ride?"
30298And you did not fear for me, then-- gone overnight in the woods?
30298And you did that? 30298 And you followed me?
30298And you say you will not relinquish me, you will not let me go to that fate which surely is mine? 30298 And you waited-- so long?"
30298And your powder?
30298Are you still carrying all the weight of the entire world?
30298Are you sure, Governor, that your strength is sufficient?
30298Are your men ready, your supplies gathered together?
30298As I thought, Will,said Lewis, nodding; and again, to the Indian girl:"Do you remember this place?"
30298As long as I can?
30298As you say, your case is hopeless?
30298Beaver?
30298But shall I let that stain rest on his name?
30298But what then? 30298 But why have you come?
30298But you will-- you will come back again?
30298But your husband is not here? 30298 But,"she still expostulated, looking up at him,"how can you cook?
30298But--_suppose he does not know_?
30298Can you fancy what all this means to me?
30298Can you then call it good fortune?
30298Capt''in,she said one day,"what for you no laff?
30298Captain,began the victim,"what do you mean?
30298Captain,inquired Chouteau at length,"your luggage, your boxes-- where are they?"
30298Certainly you carried it for me-- why did you not bring it to me long ago?
30298Come back-- when?
30298Coming back to_ you_? 30298 Coming back?"
30298Could a few francs transfer all that marvelous country from Spain to France? 30298 Did I know men, then?"
30298Did I not say right? 30298 Did he ever speak to you of her?"
30298Did you get my letters?
30298Did you wish to see me?
30298Divide and conquer?
30298Divide that unknown country, the West, and how long would this republic endure?
30298Do not I love him also? 30298 Do you believe that of me-- and you my father?"
30298Do you forget your friends so soon? 30298 Does a woman''s wish mean nothing to you?
30298Excuse me, sor, ye are sayin''ye are goin''up the Missouri? 30298 For both of us?"
30298Forgotten him? 30298 Gass, Patrick Gass, you said?"
30298George,said he to young Shannon,"George, saw ye ever the like of yon?
30298Go back? 30298 Go, then, my savage gentleman, and let me----""And let you never see my face again?"
30298Going away-- where, then, my friend?
30298Guilty as I have been, sinning as I have sinned-- tell me, was I alone in the wrong? 30298 Had I no eyes for what went on at my side this very evening, at Mr. Jefferson''s dinner- table?
30298Hand and glove, then, so soon? 30298 Has any boat passed up the river within the last day-- for instance, while we were away at the hunt?"
30298Have I not seen it? 30298 He rides always with his rifle across his saddle?"
30298He starts tomorrow-- is that sure?
30298He told you what?
30298Hold with it? 30298 Hold with the theory of Colonel Burr, sir?"
30298How can I? 30298 How can we help meeting here in the society of this little town, whose people are like one family?
30298How did you know?
30298How do you know, mother? 30298 How do you know?"
30298How is your salt, Will?
30298How long do you suppose his Majesty will endure such slights as they put on us here day by day? 30298 How, then?"
30298I have touched you on the raw once more, have n''t I, Merne?
30298I march only with destiny, yonder-- do you not see, gentlemen?
30298If you can not leave me happiness, can you not at least leave me partial peace of mind?
30298Is Shannon here?
30298Is it not a beautiful world, Madam?
30298Is it so?
30298Is not my father also? 30298 Is that the reason?"
30298Just what do you mean?
30298Listen-- tell me, Will, why did you do this?
30298Loaded, I presume-- and his pistols?
30298Madam,he inquired,"could you entertain me and my party for the night?
30298Make down my bed for me-- I am ill. And tell me, where is my powder? 30298 Mebbe we could n''t, eh?
30298Mr. Jefferson, how is he?
30298Mr. Jefferson,ventured he,"you will pardon me----""Yes, my son?"
30298My heart-- did I say that I had need of another, a better? 30298 My matches-- my thermometers-- my instruments-- how did they perform?"
30298No? 30298 Perhaps, my dear,"said he at last,"you come regarding Captain Lewis?"
30298Plans? 30298 Purchase?
30298Saw you ever such nights, Merne, in all your life? 30298 Say you so?"
30298Shall I fetch your coat?
30298Shall I fire on yez to make yez answer a civil question? 30298 Shall we cast off?"
30298She is at Richmond, Merne?
30298So you are ready, Captain Lewis?
30298Some game?
30298Suppose, under coercion, our sovereign did cede it to Napoleon, who claims it now? 30298 Tell me"--he lifted his own reins now to proceed--"you saw nothing of my daughter, Mrs. Alston?
30298Tell me, Merne, what are you thinking of? 30298 Tell me, can we get beyond the Mississippi this fall, do you think?"
30298That is to say, you know him well?
30298The beaver-- did you find the beaver yonder?
30298Then what do you mean by saying something about the way of a woman with a man?
30298Then you mean that you will go on?
30298There is some mighty Hand that seems to guide us-- is it not the truth?
30298There would be prospects for him?
30298Think you that I have won?
30298Think you that I would ask of you anything to my own dishonor, or to your dishonor? 30298 Think you that I would have come here for any other man?"
30298This republic, what is it? 30298 Torment you, sir?"
30298Treachery? 30298 Treasure?"
30298Tut, tut, Merne-- moralizing again?
30298We are going to start?
30298We''ll be off at sunup?
30298Well, what of that? 30298 What Great Father is that?"
30298What are you doing here?
30298What are you saying? 30298 What benefit, indeed, to me?
30298What can I do, father?
30298What changed you?
30298What did he say?
30298What did she promise you?
30298What do you mean, Colonel Burr?
30298What do you mean, Merne? 30298 What do you mean, Theodosia?
30298What do you mean? 30298 What do you mean?"
30298What halted the cause of Colonel Burr here in the West? 30298 What have I done?
30298What have I done?
30298What have I done?
30298What is it, Captain?
30298What is it, Captain?
30298What is it, Cruzatte?
30298What is it, Merne? 30298 What is it, Merne?"
30298What is it, Merne?
30298What is it, Theodosia?
30298What is it, boy?
30298What is it, father-- are you ill?
30298What is it, my son?
30298What is it, sir?
30298What is it, then, your excellency?
30298What is it?
30298What is it?
30298What is that you''re saying?
30298What is the matter with you, Merne?
30298What is wrong with the Governor, think you?
30298What letter? 30298 What river is this which goes on to the left?"
30298What shall you do? 30298 What sort of men have you in your party, Merne?"
30298What treasure? 30298 What woman, father?"
30298What''s wrong, Merne?
30298What, is it, George?
30298What, then?
30298What? 30298 What?
30298What? 30298 What?"
30298When are you coming back to me, Merne?
30298When could we learn?
30298When was all this?
30298Where is he?
30298Where, then, could we meet after this is over?
30298Which is the river? 30298 Which is the roight river, then?"
30298Which way, Captain Lewis-- upstream or down?
30298Which way, Sacajawea?
30298Which way, Sacajawea?
30298Which way, Will?
30298Who brought it?
30298Who calls there? 30298 Who goes there?"
30298Who hailed us?
30298Who is she, Henry?
30298Who shall make the fire? 30298 Whom had he ever harmed?"
30298Why are you here? 30298 Why are you here?"
30298Why did Colonel Burr hesitate, why did he give up his plans here-- why, indeed, did he fail? 30298 Why did I do what?
30298Why did you come thus, unattended? 30298 Why did you kill it, Cruzatte?"
30298Why do you give it to me now, boy?
30298Why do you think----"Am I not your leader? 30298 Why is it that you always come to torment me the more?
30298Why might we not walk down with you to the wharf, if you are so soon to go?
30298Why must you see him?
30298Why not enlist with us? 30298 Why not, Merne?"
30298Why not, then?
30298Why should I not know?
30298Why should she not? 30298 Why should the spring grudge a draft to a soul aflame with an undying thirst?
30298Why should we not go also?
30298Why? 30298 Will Spain fight?"
30298Will,said he at length,"do n''t you recall what I was telling you this very morning?
30298Wo n''t you take my hand, Merne?
30298Wo n''t you?
30298Would Spain fight-- and would Great Britain, if need were and the time came?
30298Would you match them for me in the East? 30298 Yes, Sergeant Ordway?"
30298Yes, but are you happy? 30298 Yes, my son?"
30298Yes? 30298 You also have caught the secret of this climate, eh?
30298You can speak thus with me?
30298You do n''t mean that we should return?
30298You found the sea? 30298 You give me no long shrift, mother?"
30298You have been with the colors? 30298 You hear that, Merne?"
30298You know him, then?
30298You left him well?
30298You promised them a country, Colonel Burr-- from what?
30298You refuse, then, Mr. Jefferson? 30298 You say the Tenth?"
30298You should be, Merne, but are you?
30298You think I will not do?
30298You think it aisy to find a way across yonder range? 30298 You will explain more fully, Colonel Burr?"
30298You will love, my boy, but with your nature how could love mean happiness to you? 30298 You will see him in the morning?"
30298You-- give your presence to one who is now a social pariah? 30298 Your Excellency plans to go by land, then, and not by sea?"
30298Your brother, General Clark, how is he?
30298Your burden is grievous hard, and yet----"Yes, my son?
30298Your men, will they be free to make return up the river with trading parties?
30298_ All bridges burned?_The deep voice of Aaron Burr almost trembled.
30298_ Letters?_said he at length.
30298_ What letters?_Her eyes looked up at him luminously.
30298''Tis a monstrous good likeness, they tell me; but would you not rather it were myself?
30298''Twas a fair New York maid, was it not?
30298***** What of Theodosia Alston, loyal and lofty soul, blameless wife, devoted and pathetic adherent to the fallen fortunes of her ill- starred father?
30298A statue to her?
30298A torment?
30298Across what wide prairies did you come-- among what hills-- through what vast forests?
30298After a time the President went on gently:"My dear, would you wish him to come back-- would you condemn him further to the tortures of the damned?
30298After all, what is life?
30298Against that, what could he measure?
30298Agree with him?
30298Ah, did he not see it now?
30298Ah, you can not tell?
30298Am I not Meriwether, too?"
30298Am I not your mother, and therefore a woman?
30298And as for you?
30298And can we talk freely as such among ourselves?"
30298And did he?"
30298And do we not know, my daughter, who that woman is?"
30298And how d''ye know jist how the Alleghanies was crossed first?
30298And she-- what had been her perils?
30298And should a woman complain?
30298And what for me?
30298And where is my rifle- powder?
30298And why not?
30298And why send you?"
30298And why should she not ride with a gallant at sunrise for an early cup of coffee, egad?"
30298And would you halt him while he is trying to do his duty as a man and a soldier?
30298And you call me by that name?
30298And you will not hear new evidence?"
30298And you would do that-- you would take that chance?"
30298Are all the men on the roll tonight?"
30298Are any of your men able to strike the eye of a deer, the head of a grouse, at fifty paces with the rifle?
30298Are my words good in your ears?"
30298Are other faces of women in your mind?
30298Are the men ready?
30298Are the winds keen and biting?
30298Are they so much to you as you thought they would be?
30298Are we such men, gentlemen?
30298Are you alone, aloof, deserted, perhaps suffering, with none to comfort you?
30298Are you among the Gauls, the Goths, the Visigoths, the Huns, the Vandals, or the Cimbri?
30298Are you cold and hungry?
30298Are you in rags as you read this?
30298Are you in the mountains?
30298Are you mad?"
30298Are you my enemy, too?
30298Are you on the prairie still, Meriwether Lewis?
30298Are you ready to start?"
30298Are you ready, Captain Lewis?
30298Are you warm?
30298Are you well fed?
30298Arguing, justifying, defending?
30298At what time are you going to turn back and come to us once more?
30298Breathed you ever such air as these plains carry in the nighttime?
30298But Spain still rules the South, just as Britain rules the middle country out beyond; and what is left?
30298But after that?"
30298But how?
30298But if you came with me to my villages, women would say,''Who is that woman there?
30298But in what way could this effect our friend, Captain Lewis?
30298But now tell me, boy, what can I do for you-- what can I ever do for you?"
30298But now-- you know our other new interpreter, the sullen chap, Charbonneau-- that polygamous scamp with two or three Indian wives?"
30298But suppose all the world were set to wondering?
30298But tell me, Merne, can you not tear her from your soul?
30298But tell me, what would make you most happy now, of these things remaining?
30298But then, you said, you come to me about him?"
30298But to what end-- what is the purpose of all this?
30298But to what purpose?"
30298But what then?"
30298But what were you saying now?"
30298But where is Sacajawea?"
30298But why did not his laugh sound high like that of his friend?
30298But why-- why?
30298But will you stay there?
30298But you have heard the last news regarding him?"
30298But you-- how can you be content to punish yourself for so long?
30298But, seriously, why take life so hard, Merne?
30298But, that being so beautiful, ought I to allow you to turn it to ruin?
30298Buy land?
30298By what possible title could that region yonder ever come to this republic?
30298CHAPTER VI WHICH WAY?
30298CHAPTER XII WHAT VOICE HAD CALLED?
30298Ca n''t I ask a place in a good man''s heart-- an innocent, clean place?
30298Ca n''t the Governor of the new Territory wear a coat that shows his own quality?
30298Can I forgive you?
30298Can I not see your life-- all your life-- as plainly as if it were written?
30298Can you begin to see what responsibility rested on you?
30298Can you do what we can?
30298Can you forget that time-- can you forget what you said?
30298Can you get an extra man or two?
30298Can you make him out, Drouillard?"
30298Can you make the thunder come?
30298Can you not hear me now, calling to you across all the distances to come back to me?
30298Can you see me, Meriwether Lewis, your childhood friend?
30298Captain Meriwether Lewis, will you stand up for a moment?
30298Come what may, no matter what power shall move you, you will be faithful in this great trust?
30298Could I fail to observe his look to you-- and, yes, am I not sensible to what your eyes said to him in reply?"
30298Could I save him from himself-- and from myself?"
30298Dead?
30298Did I say I had need of courage and resolution-- all these things combined?
30298Did I say that I had need of eyes and brains, of thews and sinews, of calm nerves and steady blood?
30298Did any eye see Meriwether Lewis as he sat there in the dark at his last camp fire?
30298Did any guilty eye look on him making his last fight?
30298Did ever a wandering flake of ashes, melting, rest on its bosom for so great a journey as that toward the sea?
30298Did he turn back?
30298Did it carry a scattered drop of a man''s lifeblood, little by little thinning, thinning on its long journey?
30298Did she-- not wait?"
30298Did the little brook in Tennessee ever find its way down to the sea?
30298Did the sound of a voice in the wilderness, passing across the unknown leagues, ever reach an ear that heard?
30298Did they make it the first toime they thried?
30298Did you think that this country could do that for either of us?"
30298Do I make you suffer by looking at you with reproach in my eyes-- as I do now?
30298Do I not know you, then?
30298Do I not know-- your mother?
30298Do I not know?
30298Do we not collect the revenues?
30298Do you begin to see?"
30298Do you blame me now?"
30298Do you call that leadership, Captain Lewis?
30298Do you forget that promise?
30298Do you hear?"
30298Do you not remember?"
30298Do you see me now?
30298Do you suppose I did not know whose they were?"
30298Do you think I am sincere?"
30298Do you think I speak only in despair, my boy?
30298Do you think I would ask this for myself?
30298Do you think that an officer of the army has no better business than that?
30298Do you think this is not hard for me also?"
30298Do you understand?"
30298Do you want to be drummed out of camp tomorrow morning?
30298Do you want to be shot?
30298Do you want to be whipped?
30298Do you want to go part way with us?
30298Do you wish to leave me still feeling that I am in your debt?
30298Do you wish to make yet happier the woman whom you have so many times made happy-- who has cherished so much ambition for you?
30298Does Spain not govern it still?
30298Does a man never forget?
30298Does every girl dream of a continuous courtship and find a dull answer in the facts?
30298Does n''t a man have two lungs, two arms, two limbs, two eyes?
30298Does n''t he marry the one at hand-- the one that is ready and waiting?
30298Does not your duty lie toward the east, and not further toward the west?
30298Does something take mine to you, across all the wilderness, across all the miles, across all the long and bitter months?
30298Does the snow lie deep?
30298Doubtless you have important papers?"
30298Duty?
30298Failed?
30298From whom?"
30298Go back to her-- how could he, now?
30298Go on, therefore, if you would ruin me, my father-- your own future; but will you go on if you face possible ruin_ for your own country_ by so doing?
30298Had it taught him to forget?
30298Had the hardships of the wilderness at last taken their toll of him-- as had sometimes happened to other men?
30298Happiness?
30298Have I no appeal for you?"
30298Have n''t I told you to be more careful about these things?
30298Have not your ears been deaf to me, even when I spoke to you direct?
30298Have not your eyes thus far been blind to me?
30298Have they lost themselves as women''s faces so often-- so soon-- are lost from a man''s mind?
30298Have you bodily comforts?
30298Have you found that lonely grave which is sometimes the reward of the adventurer thither?
30298Have you found the dinosaur or the dragon or the great serpents of a foregone day?
30298Have you found the great unicorn or the mammoth or the mastadon which Mr. Jefferson said you were likely to meet?
30298Have you grown savage, my friend-- have you come to be just a man like the others?
30298Have you horses for the journey?"
30298Have you no arts of the toilet that can overcome the story of your megrims?
30298Have you not heard me?
30298Have you physical well- being?
30298He sought to disrupt this country?
30298Heavy, eh?"
30298How can I answer all these questions?
30298How can I repay you for what you have done today?
30298How can we women read their hearts-- what do we know of men?
30298How can you make the lodge?
30298How can you mind my garrulous pen-- my vain pen-- my wicked, wicked, wicked, shameful pen-- since you can not see what it says?
30298How could I-- how can I-- with this terrible thought in my soul that I am writing to a man whose eyes can not see, whose ears can not hear?
30298How could that be?"
30298How could they tell of it?
30298How had they reached him?
30298How long will it be before you come back to higher office and higher place?
30298How long, great river, was your journey, sufficient to afford so tremendous a gathering of the waters?
30298How many air there in your party?"
30298How many thousands of hours will it take to ascend to the mountains?
30298How many you''ll shot, Captain?"
30298How often does a woman ever confess her own, her inner and real heart?
30298How will you get your boats across the mountains?
30298I can but guess how or where these presents may find you; for how shall I know how wise or how faithful my messenger has been?
30298I do n''t want you to go away, Merne, but if you do-- if you must-- won''t you come back?
30298I have lost you, then, it seems?
30298I may be dead as you read-- would you care?
30298If I knew as absolute truth that conviction now in my heart-- that you never can come back-- how then could I go on?
30298If he laid that wish on us, ought we not to respect it?
30298If so, do you sleep well?
30298If the Great Father has such medicine as this I give you, do you think we could go back to him and say the Sioux would not let us pass?
30298If we have failed, why did we fail?
30298If we succeed, what then?"
30298If ye said it where he could hear ye-- that man ahead-- do you know what he would do to you?"
30298If you go yonder, what will be the fate of Meriwether Lewis?
30298In these unsettled times, who knows what may happen?
30298In two days, or four, or six?
30298In what labor was the President of the United States engaged on this particularly eventful day?
30298In what region grew this great pine which swims with you to the sea?
30298Is all the world''s misery yours?
30298Is he alone?"
30298Is it always to remain with you?
30298Is it not four in the afternoon?"
30298Is it not my business to know?
30298Is it not so?"
30298Is it not so?"
30298Is it not true?
30298Is it not true?
30298Is it winter?
30298Is my recompense to be only your assertion that I torment you, that I torture you?
30298Is n''t it enough to be astronomer and doctor and bookkeeper and record- keeper and all that?
30298Is not the whole system of law enforced under the flag of Spain, all along the great river yonder?
30298Is the taste of all your triumphs so sweet as you have dreamed, Meriwether Lewis?
30298Is there any among you who has a black skin, like the man with us?
30298Is there any news?"
30298Is there anything I can do?
30298Is there anything in all this talk I have heard about Colonel Burr?
30298Is there no house near by?
30298Is there no reward for that?
30298Is there no torture for me as well?
30298Is there none in a man''s-- in yours-- for me?
30298Is this not Eden?
30298Is this the placing his Majesty''s minister should have at the President''s table?
30298Is this what we should demand here?"
30298It draws you, does it not?"
30298It is not that woman?"
30298It is your right to believe that he and I were-- that is to say, we might have been-- ah, sir, how can I speak?"
30298It was for him, yes-- but whence had it come?
30298Jefferson?"
30298Jefferson?----""You surely have heard that my administration is in sad disrepute?
30298Livingston, Monroe, and the others-- what are they doing with Napoleon Bonaparte?
30298Look here, my man, do you want to serve?"
30298Love?
30298Major Neely, would you be so kind as to join the men and assure them of bringing on the horses?"
30298May I give you a cup of coffee there?"
30298May not we shield him-- and her-- no matter what the cost to us?
30298Merne, was_ that_ why the wilderness called to you?
30298Merne, what is wrong?"
30298Minister?"
30298My boy has done all that?
30298My son kill himself?
30298No, he had delayed, he had gone on, and he had cost her-- what?
30298No, why buy it, when taking it was so much more simple and delightful?
30298Of course, I know you do n''t practise what you preach-- who does?"
30298Oh, I know-- I know, but why should you meet?"
30298Oh, Merne-- may I not call you Merne once more before I let you go?"
30298Oh, Theo, what have I done?"
30298Oh, wo n''t you, Merne?"
30298Only the question is, at what sacrifice, through what appeal to his chivalry, can his assistance be carried to us?"
30298Papers, perhaps-- bills-- documents-- money?
30298Perhaps, however, you do not hold with the theory of Colonel Burr?"
30298Sacajawea, what of her?
30298Shall I get you some sort of bitter herbs?
30298Shall I let you go down in savagery?
30298Shall I, his friend and his chief, halt him at such a time?
30298Shall I, then, who have been his scholar and his friend?"
30298Shall you condemn him, or shall you rescue him?
30298She might have a second cup of your good coffee?"
30298Should I complain?
30298Should I not now be happy?"
30298Should one ally one''s self with a foredoomed failure?
30298Should you call that a torment?
30298Should you call the flowers that change in sweetness as we ride along through the wood a torment?
30298Some face, eh?
30298Something there-- yes, eh?"
30298Sor, I ask yer pardon--''twas only the whisky made me feel sportin''like at the time, do ye mind?"
30298Still, what difference, whether or not you be living?
30298Suppose we join you there?"
30298Suppose we leave it to my daughter to fashion her own campaign?
30298Suppose, my dear madam, there were a woman concerned in this matter?"
30298Tell me, did you know this when you came to me?"
30298Tell me, do you see me now before you?
30298Tell me, do you think there was but one woman made for each of us men in all the world?
30298Tell me, have you heard anything of Colonel Burr''s plan?
30298Tell me, how about that old affair of which you once used to confide to me when we were soldiering together here, years back?
30298Tell me, is he bound down the river?
30298Tell me, why is it that I think of you lying where the wind is sweet in the trees?
30298Tell me, why is it that in the glimpses the sages give us of paradise they no more than lift the curtain-- and let it fall again?"
30298Tell me-- and believe that I am not blind-- is not Captain Lewis going into the Missouri country in order to forget a certain woman?
30298The servants paid no attention to the shots, if they had heard them-- and why should they not have heard them?
30298The thought that I have done this covertly, secretly-- what do you think that costs me?"
30298Then there is another?"
30298There was to have been a dinner, was there not-- or am I mistaken of the hour?
30298There-- have I not said all that a woman could say to a man, living or dead?
30298They both love you-- do I not know?"
30298They sent me----""They?
30298This wilderness which you love, the wilderness to which you fled for your comfort-- what has it done for you?
30298To her he was-- what?
30298To the contrary, shall I allow you to hasten into the usual ruin of a man?
30298To what end, my friend?
30298To whom shall I present the greetings of his British Majesty?"
30298Tomorrow?
30298Torment you?
30298Vows?
30298WHAT VOICE HAD CALLED?
30298WHICH WAY?
30298Was I wrong?"
30298Was Meriwether Lewis indeed gone mad?
30298Was ever thinking woman who could doubt what a strong man would do?
30298Was it Gass, Cruzatte, Drouillard, Reuben Fields, or McNeal?
30298Was it a uniform, do you believe?
30298Was it any wonder that they stood now, grave and dignified, feeling almost for the first time the weight of what they had done?
30298Was it in defiance or in compliance that this act was done?
30298Was it not true what she had said?
30298Was not he, who had forgotten honor, subject now to any command that she might give him?
30298We believe, or try to believe, or say that we believe; but always----""And a woman may divide not love, only love of love itself?"
30298We could not afford to wait months-- three months, four, six-- has it been so long as that since you left us?
30298We missed her at the house, and have feared her abduction by some bold young Virginian, eh?"
30298Were that not a wiser thing?
30298Were there, after all, those great Stony Mountains of which men told fables?
30298Were they all done-- should he never hear from her again?
30298Were you trying to run away without ever saying good- by to me?
30298What adversities have been yours?
30298What am I writing now?
30298What avail now, if he did return?
30298What benefit to you?"
30298What can I do?"
30298What can I give you in return for all that-- in return for these?"
30298What cascades and rapids lie on ahead?
30298What cavalier at any time of the world has not instinctively leaped forward at such sound?
30298What concern is that of yours?
30298What did I say?"
30298What did it mean-- about the water?
30298What did she mean?"
30298What do they weigh with me-- with you?
30298What do you know?
30298What do you make of it?
30298What do you mean?"
30298What do you mean?"
30298What does he here?
30298What does it say?"
30298What face was it?
30298What fat lands reared this heavy trunk, which sinks at last, to be buried in the sands?
30298What for you all time think, think, think?
30298What for you no eat?
30298What had it done for him, after all?
30298What hand pointed out the way for her?
30298What has it done?"
30298What have I done?
30298What have I done?"
30298What have vows to do with this?
30298What if accident had befallen either of them?
30298What is devotion-- what is your country?
30298What is it that you plan?
30298What is it that you_ see_ when you lie awake at night under the stars?
30298What is it you are saying?
30298What is it?"
30298What is the condition?"
30298What is the latest news in the village, Merne?"
30298What is this you tell me?
30298What is your impulse?
30298What is your motive?
30298What jewels lie under your flood?
30298What lay beyond it?
30298What manner of men are you that you will not listen to reason?
30298What matter?
30298What messenger had brought them?
30298What must she think of him now-- that he was not only a dishonorable man, but also a coward running away from the responsibility of what he had done?
30298What need now to ask you to come back?
30298What need to reproach you any further?
30298What news for us?"
30298What of Lewis, then gone so long?
30298What plans?
30298What purchase?"
30298What rich minerals float impalpably in your tawny waters?
30298What shall I say-- what can we say to each other?
30298What should he do-- cast this letter from him into the river?
30298What should the public know of a life such as his?
30298What then?"
30298What was I saying, Meriwether Lewis, to you but now, even though you were blind and deaf?
30298What was it she had said?
30298What was it she had written to him long ago?
30298What was it that she said?
30298What was the leaning of the Governor of the new Territory, a man closer to the administration at Washington than any other?
30298What were her thoughts?
30298What would make you happiest?"
30298What, Merne?
30298What, forsake Mr. Jefferson-- leave me?"
30298What?
30298What?
30298What?
30298When are you going to come back to us, Merne?"
30298When one loses, what mercy is shown to him?
30298When will it be, my son?
30298Whence came these messages, and how, by whose hand?
30298Where are the bullets for my pistols?
30298Where are the other men?
30298Where are you?
30298Where is Major Neely?
30298Where, then, is his suite?"
30298Which do you prefer-- what do you decide to do?
30298Which enterprise, think you, will win?
30298Which is our river here?"
30298Which of these had secretly carried the letter?
30298Which of your men, Ordway, will best serve to find Shannon and meet us up the river?"
30298Which was the stronger?
30298Which was the way?
30298Which was the way?
30298Which was the way?
30298Which, now, was the Missouri?
30298Who are they?"
30298Who are you strangers, who come from so far?"
30298Who are you that would stop us?"
30298Who can tell?
30298Who goes?"
30298Who guided her in such unbelievably strange fashion?
30298Who had brought those mysterious letters?
30298Who is she?"
30298Who is this new man that is so careless?
30298Who knows the way across?
30298Who shall make tea?
30298Who shall mend your moccasins?
30298Who shall spread down the robes?
30298Whoever he was, why did he not bring another?
30298Whose letter is it, Merne?
30298Why are we not away for the journey home?"
30298Why deceive your heart about it, since I have not deceived my own?
30298Why did Meriwether Lewis never laugh?
30298Why did he always think, think, think?
30298Why did she make it?
30298Why did you not wait one day?"
30298Why do n''t you answer?"
30298Why do n''t you relax-- why do n''t you swim with the current for a time?
30298Why do we delay?
30298Why do you not exult-- what is it you can not forget?
30298Why do you not keep the horses up?
30298Why fly in the face of prophecy and of Providence?
30298Why had there grown between him and his friend that thin, indefinable reserve?
30298Why have they not come up?"
30298Why have you kept secrets from your commanding officer?
30298Why linger?
30298Why not come with us, and not attempt the impossible?
30298Why not turn, then, to a future which offers certainties?
30298Why should I not?
30298Why should he pay so little heed to the playful advances of Arcturus, inviting him for a run along the shady road?
30298Why should not your mother know?"
30298Why should we care to note his curious concern over details?
30298Why should you seek to stop me when I am trying to blot your face out of my mind?
30298Why you want to go more farther West?
30298Why?
30298Why?
30298Will it be six months hence?"
30298Will such a man forget his promise always to kiss away the tears of that companion to whom he has come in rescue?
30298Will you always see me with tears in my eyes?
30298Will you fight me, or are you afraid?"
30298Will you forget this?"
30298Will you go?"
30298Will you not also listen to the call of your own ambition?
30298Will you throw that away, for the sake of a few dried skins and flowers?
30298Will, what shall I do?
30298Would any of the tribesmen like to go to the far East, to see the Great Father?
30298Would you ask him back-- for any cause?"
30298Would you call that treason-- conspiracy?
30298Would you excuse me for just a moment?"
30298Would you ruin me?
30298Would you see his career blighted when it should be but begun?"
30298Would you see me go to ruin?"
30298Would you shame yourself-- and her-- and me?"
30298York rides ahead, do you see?
30298You are a man altogether, then?"
30298You are happy now, are you not?"
30298You ask me what to tell him?
30298You ask me why these things were?
30298You do not wish to be my boy any longer?
30298You know his castle there?"
30298You know how his heart was racked at times?"
30298You mean to tell me you are still so foolish?
30298You said fifty thousand?"
30298You said those other gentlemen were to join you there?"
30298You say you will not let me be savage?
30298You still refuse?"
30298You will love-- why should you not, a man fit to love and be loved by any woman?
30298You will not obey me as your officer, and will not fight me as a man?
30298You will not reopen this case?"
30298You would go with me-- do you know what is our journey?"
30298[ Illustration:"''Oh, Theo, what have I done?''"]
30298_ Ask him to come back to Theodosia Burr and happiness_--do you understand?"
30298_ Does_ no one know?"
30298_ Mon Dieu_, what shall we do?"
30298was his sole announcement"50"''Oh, Theo, what have I done?''"
