43971	I''m dying,she said;"if it happens a little sooner, or a little later, does it matter very much?
43971	I''m earnest, and discouraged, too.... Is it impertinent to ask if_ you_ had experiences like mine when you were younger?
43971	I? 43971 If I waited, do you think I might see him?"

43971	Mamie?
43971	May I ask if you write yourself?
43971	May I come in?
43971	Miss Millington is almost perfect as''Daisy,''is n''t she?
43971	No? 43971 Oh, merely----""Merely?"
43971	Oh, were you?
43971	Oh, you can understand that?
43971	On the Continent alone?
43971	Pleasuring?
43971	Really? 43971 Really?
43971	Shall I serve dinner, sir?
43971	Shall we go to the waiting- room?
43971	Shall we have another muffin?
43971	Should I have come to tell you so?
43971	So you ought to; but what does it matter if you do n''t? 43971 That I had a theory?
43971	The days are drawing in fast, Mr. Heriot, are n''t they? 43971 The hall- porter at the Club----""What club?
43971	They seem very absurd to you, I daresay?
43971	This street is awfully stupid, is n''t it?
43971	Though you had nothing in common?
43971	To Balham?
43971	To cast her off?
43971	To cast her off?
43971	To marry you?
43971	To refuse while I thought I had a future, and to say''yes,''now that----How can you ask me? 43971 To set your teeth and work morning, noon, and night sounds very fine, but what does it amount to?
43971	To whom are you ridiculous?
43971	Was it necessary for her to have a gift at all?
43971	Was she interested in your career? 43971 We may see you in New York, Sir George?"
43971	We might go to a theatre to- night,he said;"would you like to?"
43971	We were both unlucky; but perhaps it does n''t matter so much to you?
43971	Well, it''s nearly over.... Are you glad?
43971	Well, we''ll go to the Vaudeville, or somewhere to- night, Mamie-- that''s arranged?
43971	Well, why does n''t she go on the stage in America? 43971 What are''extras''--you do n''t mean''supers''?"
43971	What can I say?
43971	What do you mean?
43971	What do you think of Miss Pierways?
43971	What does he write?
43971	What does it matter?
43971	What for? 43971 What have you been doing?"
43971	What purpose would it serve?
43971	What shall I do?
43971	What''s your line?
43971	What,muttered Mamie,"what did he say?"
43971	What?
43971	Where does she come from?... 43971 Where has dear Mamie gone?"
43971	Where?
43971	Where?
43971	Who can tell? 43971 Who is she?"
43971	Why distress yourself? 43971 Why do n''t you go, George?"
43971	Why should I?
43971	Why''stage- struck''then? 43971 Why, I thought you said that the paper was a''rag''and that you would n''t dream of consenting?"
43971	Why,said Heriot labouredly, after another pause,"why would it mean so much?"
43971	Why? 43971 Why?
43971	Why?
43971	Why?
43971	Will you come with me?
43971	Will you, Miss Cheriton?
43971	With another man?
43971	Wo n''t you come and have some tea first?
43971	Wo n''t you come in?
43971	Wo n''t you sit down?
43971	Would it be inconsiderate to ask you to recite to- night, Miss Cheriton?
43971	Would it have lasted another five?
43971	Would you have recognised me?
43971	Yes; he did n''t speak very nicely, did he?
43971	You are going to be adapted? 43971 You are moving to Balham?"
43971	You are not satisfied with it-- it falls short of what you meant? 43971 You brought her down to Eastbourne to- day?"
43971	You counted on_ me_? 43971 You do n''t mean that you regret giving up Art?"
43971	You have n''t told me how it was you came to the States?
43971	You lost your wife, you wrote me?
43971	You may have heard it mentioned?
43971	You mean it''s possible to be really clever, and yet not to come to the front?
43971	You promised it?
43971	You went to him?
43971	You will miss your niece?
43971	You''re doing well?
43971	You''re going on the stage as a supernumerary instead?
43971	You''re really in earnest then? 43971 You''ve been here ten days?"
43971	You-- want to marry me? 43971 You?"
43971	You?
43971	Your daughter paints?
43971	''Had''it?
43971	''Left you?''
43971	''Oh,''said he in his superior way,''would you?
43971	''Oo shall I say?"
43971	''Too old for her''?
43971	Admitting the element of romance, what of it?"
43971	After a long pause, she said:"Was she pretty?...
43971	After all, why should he not remove to Belle Vue Mansion if he wished?
43971	Ah, Mamie, how could you do it?"
43971	Ah, you wo n''t divorce her, Mr. Heriot?
43971	Am I to reject a career because I''m not starving?
43971	Am I''enthusing''again?"
43971	And the literary flâneur-- the half- hearted seducer of passionless ladies-- is he out of date?
43971	And what is it?
43971	And would she like to return to Duluth?
43971	And you?
43971	Anybody in particular?"
43971	Are n''t you going to tell me all about it?"
43971	Are they still denying it to- day?
43971	Are you going to cut me?"
43971	But I''m sorry; I may say that?
43971	But at least I do n''t talk like Americans in your comic papers, do I?"
43971	But girls ca n''t be barristers, and----""Will you open the window for me?"
43971	But if nobody made you an offer, what then?"
43971	But it''s very fatiguing_ making_ friends, do n''t you think so?
43971	But perhaps you often come to Eastbourne?"
43971	But perhaps_ no_ form of art appears to you necessary?"
43971	But why the sense of gratification with which he had learnt where she lived?
43971	But, my dear fellow, what companionship had you?
43971	But... What was I going to say?
43971	But_ was_ her Aunt Lydia willing?--was she expected to write to her and inquire?
43971	Ca n''t you recognise ambition?"
43971	Can you like me well enough to be my wife?"
43971	Cheriton replied by two questions: What was Field''s will?
43971	Could she understand your ways of thought?
43971	Dearest, what do you relinquish by marrying me now?
43971	Did it give her another face, another form, another brain?
43971	Did this especial sin make of a woman somebody else?
43971	Did unfaithfulness transform her personality?
43971	Did you care for him so much?
43971	Do you like the long evenings, or the long afternoons best?
43971	Do you really think they will?"
43971	Do you stay over here long?"
43971	Do you suppose the only clever actresses alive are those who''re known?
43971	Do you think we need talk about it much?
43971	Er-- down here, I daresay, when I come to know her better---- Have you met Van Buren?"
43971	Field,''I presume?"
43971	For Heaven''s sake, why?"
43971	Fortunately you wo n''t have time to be very bored, though; will you?"
43971	Good- night, old chap; shall I see you to- morrow?
43971	Had she blundered more terribly than when she married?
43971	Had she forgotten it; or was it that she had been incapable of transferring that?
43971	Had she-- it was a horrible thought-- had she been mistaken?
43971	Have I deserved that from you?"
43971	Have you been on his books long, Miss----?"
43971	Have you ever wanted to shriek?
43971	Have you noticed how everybody is saying,''New York''now?
43971	Have_ you_ far to go?"
43971	He murmured deprecation:"Why?"
43971	He said he had''a duty to himself,''and that the man could marry you when you were divorced; which I suppose he_ would_ have done if he had lived?
43971	Heriot?"
43971	Heriot?"
43971	Heriot?"
43971	Heriot?"
43971	Heriot?"
43971	Heriot?"
43971	How can you think me so ridiculous?"
43971	How did he know that it was Field-- had she mentioned his name in the letter?
43971	How did this relative come to be at the hotel?
43971	How do you mean?"
43971	How does it strike you, Miss Cheriton?
43971	I do n''t like walking here alone; ca n''t you come with me?"
43971	I do n''t think you ever saw my sister, did you?
43971	I mean, do you think you were wise to encourage her hopes in such a direction at all?
43971	I recited to you, if you remember, and----""Did you?"
43971	I said to him,''Dear Mamie''s away, the servant tells me?''
43971	I say perhaps it''s all for the best, Mr. Heriot, eh?
43971	I scarcely hoped---- How are you, old man?
43971	I suppose you can hardly remember England, can you?"
43971	I wonder if you know anybody who could give her any introductions?"
43971	I---- Oh, what am I to tell her?
43971	I----Won''t you sit down?"
43971	If he had lived and married you, would you be happy?"
43971	If she did write a play that was produced one day, or if she did n''t, what earthly consequence was it?
43971	If she had made a blunder, would it improve matters to perpetuate it?
43971	If you think it necessary to remain---- I see you have taken a room?
43971	If----""Wo n''t you go on?"
43971	In the meantime you''ll stay where you are, eh?
43971	Is Mrs. Baines at home?"
43971	Is it any more ridiculous to aspire to one profession than another?
43971	Is it necessary for us to talk about it much?
43971	Is n''t it some mistake?
43971	Is n''t it wonderful?"
43971	Is this sort of thing worthy of you?"
43971	It is a great success, is n''t it?"
43971	It might prove a start for you; who knows?
43971	It seems extraordinary that influenza should prove so serious?
43971	It was funny, your being here, was n''t it?...
43971	It was n''t so?"
43971	It will suit the Pall Mall down to the ground, and I should like it done there, only----""Only what?"
43971	It would n''t be repugnant to you?"
43971	Let me see you to Victoria; I suppose that''s where you are going?"
43971	Mamie, wo n''t you stay?"
43971	Mamie?"
43971	Mamie?"
43971	May I tell them to bring you some tea now?"
43971	My darling, what have you to look forward to?
43971	My name is Mabel Forbes; but I daresay you heard Passmore speak to me?"
43971	My telegram must have prepared you?
43971	Nice pieces?"
43971	Not of your-- er-- work?"
43971	Now, I read the piece out to you, dear, did n''t I?
43971	Now_ I_----""Yes?"
43971	Of what consequence was it where she was staying?
43971	One does n''t ask a great deal of women, but had you any single thing in common?"
43971	Only----Do you think, if-- if there''s anything afterwards, that a woman who''s gone wrong like me will be punished?"
43971	Operas, and drives, and all manner of things to soothe your conscience he gave you, no doubt?"
43971	Or is that phase of English government now also to pass?
43971	Or they might have impromptu dances?
43971	Passmore had n''t got anything for you, had he?"
43971	Passmore''s?"
43971	Passmore?"
43971	Passmore?"
43971	Perhaps there was music, and the girl sang?
43971	Perhaps you''ll stay and dine?''
43971	Prettier than_ I_ used to be?"
43971	Really?
43971	Shall I-- will you care to hear what he says?"
43971	Shall you ever come to America again, Sir George?"
43971	Shall you-- will you speak to me again after this evening, or is this the last talk we shall have?
43971	She did not speak, and after a minute he said:"Will it jar upon you if I say,''Let us talk''?"
43971	She must be a woman, Cheriton?"
43971	She''ll make an admirable mother, and that''s the main thing, I suppose?"
43971	Should she marry Lucas or not?
43971	So you are going away?"
43971	Suppose we all dine together at the hotel, and go on from there?
43971	Surely in those hours she had loved him?
43971	Surely it ca n''t be so difficult to get an opening like that, if one knows how to set about it?"
43971	That I may last two years, perhaps, instead of one?
43971	That had not been gratitude-- a sense of duty merely?--had she not loved him then?
43971	The life was appalling, but when all was said, was it more limited than Aunt Lydia?
43971	The violet in the hedgerow''bloomed unseen,''--or''died unknown,''was it?
43971	Then why should it be impossible?
43971	There''s a delicacy, a spiritual----""Has she been trained?"
43971	These women you''ll be thrown amongst----""Some, at least,"she said,"will be like myself, surely?
43971	They were not looking at each other any longer, and her voice trembled a little as she replied:"You were n''t fond enough of her?"
43971	This Mrs. Payne-- or Baynes-- is not a connection you will be proud of, I take it?"
43971	Though, I suppose, with_ him_ you were out among gaieties every night?"
43971	Was he awake?
43971	Was it real?
43971	Was it?
43971	Was she a companion?"
43971	Was she used to your world?
43971	We shall see Miss Cheriton at Sandhills, I hope?
43971	What after all had they done to her, what change in the beloved identity had they wrought, those months that were past?
43971	What did you do in Chicago, Cheriton?"
43971	What do you say?"
43971	What else do you propose?"
43971	What if they do n''t consent?"
43971	What is it?
43971	What of it?"
43971	What on earth does the public care?
43971	What shall you do?"
43971	What should I be if I faltered because the path is n''t strewn with roses?
43971	What sort of pieces do you say, dear?
43971	What steps do you mean to take, Miss Cheriton?
43971	What the devil do you want?"
43971	What was to become of her if they separated?
43971	What_ can_ I do to get an engagement?"
43971	When are you going to Niagara?
43971	When did you arrive?"
43971	When do you marry?"
43971	When does the-- how do you say it?
43971	When does your holiday end?"
43971	Where do you find her weak?"
43971	Where were you last?"
43971	Which line of conduct did she prefer?
43971	Which of them would be lucky to- day?
43971	Who had telegraphed?
43971	Why ca n''t you say''yes''?"
43971	Why do you disappoint me now?
43971	Why have n''t you?"
43971	Why should you care?
43971	Why talk about it?...
43971	Will you come with us?"
43971	Will you come?"
43971	Will you marry me?"
43971	Will you, Mamie?"
43971	Wo n''t you consent?
43971	Wo n''t you say you''re glad to see me?"
43971	Would it indeed be weakness-- would it not rather be strength, the courage of his convictions?
43971	Would you, if I sent?"
43971	Yes, I suppose he_ could_ marry her then, could n''t he?
43971	Yes,"Grosvenor Road,"and then-- what next?
43971	Yet were he but"weak"enough?
43971	You do n''t mind my saying that I hate the adjectives you used, though, do you?
43971	You do n''t say a person is''paint- struck,''or''ink- struck,''or anything else''-struck''; why the sneer when one is drawn towards the theatre?
43971	You do n''t think I''m too old for her?"
43971	You do n''t write plays?"
43971	You don''t-- you do n''t intend to have a divorce?"
43971	You go up to one of the principals, and say,''Lord Tomnoddy, where''s that bracelet you promised to send me when I saw you at Kempton Park?''
43971	You know I''ve lost him-- she told you that?
43971	You know that, I''m sure?"
43971	You know-- you know I saw Mr. Heriot after you''d gone, do n''t you?"
43971	You understand?
43971	You''ll not be so mad as to refuse at the last moment?"
43971	You''re American, are n''t you?"
43971	You''re not discouraged?"
43971	You''re still at the Bar, eh?"
43971	You''ve been with_ her_?"
43971	_ A Clever Man''s Son_?"
43971	_ You_ never married, eh?"
43971	_ You_ would rather grow potatoes than roses, eh?"
43971	do you mean it?"
43971	do you remember saying that?
43971	exclaimed Mamie;"it''s frightfully warm, do n''t you think so?"
43971	he asked;"any better?"
43971	said Mrs. Baines...."Whatever are you saying, Mr. Heriot?
43971	she said presently;"were you in New York all the time?"
43971	was there ever a face more pure?
43971	what''s the use of blinking the matter now?
10429	''See,he said,"how long have they been married?"
10429	A civil wedding? 10429 Ai n''t it nice with nobody home?"
10429	Ai n''t you been to that big hotel in Savannah, Georgia?
10429	An inheritance-- really? 10429 And Bobby Larkin?"
10429	And get turned out of this house, as you would be?
10429	And what instruments do you play?
10429	And what of that? 10429 Anything about Lulu?"
10429	Are you going to take Jenny and Bobby too?
10429	Are you serious, Nin?
10429	Bedtime,his wife elucidated, and added:"Lulu, will you take her to bed?
10429	Bobby,said Di,"are you going to let her lead you home?"
10429	But if we do n''t tell, what''ll they think then?
10429	But is it him?
10429	But then how can you tell what songs to order?
10429	But why not?
10429	But you''re not so very used----Oh, was n''t he?
10429	But, Dwight-- is it_ nice?_from his Ina.
10429	But, Lulu, do n''t you think it might be better to keep, well-- out of sight for a few days?
10429	Ca n''t I make her a little milk toast?
10429	Ca n''t you get mother to come out?
10429	Ca n''t you remember?
10429	Ca n''t you understand anything?
10429	Can I sell you an upright?
10429	Can we?
10429	Can you imagine how such a ridiculous report started?
10429	Could you give me the address of Mr. Ninian Deacon?
10429	Could you risk it with me?
10429	Could you tell me,she said timidly,"the name of the principal hotel in Millton?"
10429	Di,she said,"if you and Bobby want to get married, why not let us get you up a nice wedding at home?"
10429	Did n''t I just tell you?
10429	Did n''t he write to you?
10429	Did n''t it occur to you,said Dwight,"that he might have told you that because he did n''t want to have to go on with it?"
10429	Do n''t I?
10429	Do n''t I?
10429	Do n''t you like ragtime?
10429	Do you know of any job that I could get me? 10429 Do you know something?"
10429	Do you know why you think that? 10429 Do you need this?"
10429	Do you think I want everybody to know my brother did a thing like that?
10429	Do you think you could possibly stay here with me?
10429	Dwight darling, are you sure there''s no danger?
10429	Dwight-- I thought if you would n''t mind if I opened it--"Opened it?
10429	Eh, Lulu?
10429	Filling teeth?
10429	For pity sakes,she said,"do n''t you know how to do anything?"
10429	Gave you your choice?
10429	Had it up in the city, on expense?
10429	Had n''t we all better get the four- thirty to Warbleton?
10429	Have good weather?
10429	Have you been buying flowers?
10429	Her satchel?
10429	How I do what?
10429	How did you know?
10429	How does it?
10429	How long till another train?
10429	How much is salmon the can now?
10429	How the dickens did you think of pianos for a line?
10429	How would it hurt Di?
10429	How''s that, Lulu-- what are_ you_ wearing a bridal robe for-- eh?
10429	Hungry_ now?_Mrs. Bett was hungry now.
10429	I do n''t think you ought to-- holy things----what''s the_ matter_, Dwightie?
10429	I?
10429	If everything is over between you, why should you?
10429	If there was anything I could do at any time, you''d let me know, would n''t you?
10429	Ina,said Lulu,"first ca n''t we hear something about your visit?
10429	Is he coming?
10429	Is it Miss Lulu Bett?
10429	Is it about getting work?
10429	Is n''t he here? 10429 Is n''t he?"
10429	Is n''t it a pretty city?
10429	Is n''t it understood that my mail ca n''t wait like this?
10429	Is n''t she coming to her supper?
10429	Is n''t that like a woman?
10429	Is that all you can think of?
10429	Is that what it is, papa?
10429	Is that why you made fun of me all the time?
10429	It would mean running away, would n''t it?
10429	It''s Ina, is n''t it?
10429	It''s nothing to you that we have a brother who''s a bigamist?
10429	Just a little? 10429 Last night?"
10429	Leave your mother? 10429 Let''s see-- you mean Dwight Deacon, I guess?"
10429	Letters-- documents of any sort? 10429 Look here,"Dwight went on persuasively,"had n''t you and he had some little tiff when he told you?"
10429	Look here,said Dwight Herbert,"who is it sits home and has_ ice_ cream put in her lap, like a queen?"
10429	Look here,said Ninian,"are n''t you going?"
10429	Lulie, was your husband married?
10429	Lulie,she said,"was his other wife-- was she_ there_?"
10429	Lulu sing? 10429 Lulu,"said Dwight,"on Di''s account will you promise us to let this thing rest with us three?"
10429	Lulu,said Dwight,"really?
10429	Lulu?
10429	Mamma,Di whispered then, like escaping steam,"is n''t Uncle Ninian coming too?"
10429	Married?
10429	Marrying folks, then?
10429	Me too?
10429	Me?
10429	Mother,said Lulu,"when Di went away just now, was she carrying a satchel?"
10429	My dear Lulu, now why revive anything? 10429 Nice?
10429	Nothing else?
10429	Nothing whatever?
10429	Of course,said Lulu,"of course you won''t-- you wouldn''t--""Say anything?"
10429	Oh, Bobby, will you pump while I hold this?
10429	Oh, how''d you get along last night?
10429	Oh,she said,"what will mamma say?"
10429	Or Mrs.?
10429	Proofs?
10429	Really, darling?
10429	See that? 10429 See them to talk to?"
10429	See-- where were they then?
10429	See? 10429 Shall I wait for the butter- woman or get some creamery?"
10429	Should you, Miss Lulu?
10429	So I can come in, ca n''t I?
10429	Sue him? 10429 Suitors?"
10429	Sure you liked it, Miss Lulu?
10429	Sure?
10429	That is very nearly salmoney, is n''t it?
10429	That your apology?
10429	Then what are you going to do?
10429	Then you care nothing for our feelings in this matter?
10429	They were?
10429	They''re so-- so--"You have n''t had but two, have you?
10429	To have a thing like that in the family? 10429 To the city?"
10429	Truly, Lulu,said Ina,"would n''t that be best?
10429	Vanilly or chocolate?
10429	Was he-- about the letter, you know?
10429	Was n''t she married when she thought she was?
10429	Was n''t you expecting anybody to meet you?
10429	Was there anything to prevent your speaking of that before?
10429	Well then, what are you doing here?
10429	Well, but he''s here with you, is n''t he?
10429	Well, but mercy,said Ina,"could n''t he find out now?"
10429	Well, ca n''t I tell Bobby and Jenny she''s here?
10429	Well, then, why did n''t he say so here?
10429	Well, what have we on the festive board to- night?
10429	Well, where have_ you_ been?
10429	Well, why do n''t you say what for?
10429	Well,said Ina practically,"what does he say?"
10429	Well--"I mean, did Ninian give you any money?
10429	Well?
10429	What about_ my_ pride?
10429	What are you two whispering about? 10429 What can anybody be thinking of to call just at meal- time?"
10429	What did they say?
10429	What did you think it was? 10429 What did you wish to see me about?"
10429	What difference does it make what they think?.
10429	What do I think of him? 10429 What do people say to people,"she wondered,"when it''s like this?"
10429	What do you mean?
10429	What do you think I came for to- night?
10429	What do you think I have to tell you?
10429	What else?
10429	What excuse have you to offer?
10429	What if I brought him up to- night?
10429	What if it was Di?
10429	What is it, Lulu?
10429	What made him conclude, by then, that you ought to be told?
10429	What may we expect?
10429	What next do you say?
10429	What on earth did you do it for?
10429	What say?
10429	What time did you get home?
10429	What would the folks think of me, going on so?
10429	What would you have me do?
10429	What you talking?
10429	What''d he say?
10429	What''s that to you?
10429	What''s that?
10429	What''s the use of finding fault with Inie? 10429 What''s them?"
10429	What''s this?
10429	What''s this?
10429	What''s this?
10429	What''s your name?
10429	What?
10429	Where did you get a wheel- chair, for mercy sakes?
10429	Where did you go?
10429	Where is little daughter to- night?
10429	Where were you two-- since you make such a mystery?
10429	Where you been mostly?
10429	Where''d you have it?
10429	Where''s Di?
10429	Where''s Lulie?
10429	Where''s my beautiful straw hat? 10429 Where''s your mother, Ina?"
10429	Where?
10429	Where?
10429	Which kind of a Mr. are you?
10429	Who said he''s here?
10429	Who said we wanted to be married?
10429	Who, me?
10429	Who?
10429	Whom did you see?
10429	Whose Bert?
10429	Why could n''t I have said that?
10429	Why did he tell you at all, then?
10429	Why did you do it?
10429	Why do n''t she?
10429	Why do n''t she?
10429	Why not all walk down? 10429 Why not say the wedding service?"
10429	Why not?
10429	Why not?
10429	Why set people wondering till we have to?
10429	Why should I have anything to do about Lulu?
10429	Why, Di,she said,"do you feel that way too?"
10429	Why, not till you tell me I can,said Cornish,"but wo n''t everybody know now?"
10429	Why, what would they think?
10429	Why?
10429	Why?
10429	Will you be more careful of your grammar or shall I speak to you again?
10429	Wo n''t you please write it down for me?
10429	Would it, Ina? 10429 Would n''t it be fun to elope and surprise the whole school?"
10429	Would you have done that?
10429	Would you?
10429	Yes, but, Dwight, what do you think of him?
10429	Yes, but, Dwight, where has she gone? 10429 Yes-- well, what did he_ say_?"
10429	You certainly did not so far forget us, Lulu, as to go on the street in that dress?
10429	You do n''t mean just the cooking?
10429	You do n''t? 10429 You dress for me; Ina, are n''t you jealous?
10429	You folks expect me?
10429	You know that, do n''t you?
10429	You like sacred music?
10429	You opened the letter?
10429	You sure?
10429	You tell me this: Do they know? 10429 You think that?"
10429	You want me to promise what?
10429	You were with her-- where in the world had you been? 10429 You will?"
10429	You will?
10429	You wo n''t give it to me?
10429	You''ll be all right, mother?
10429	You_ bought_ it?
10429	You_ picked_ the flower on the plant?
10429	Your feeling?
10429	Your new one?
10429	_ Di?_He had Lulu''s eyes now.
10429	_ No_ salmon?
10429	_ What''s_ this?
10429	_ Where_ are you going?
10429	***** When Di and Monona had been excused, Dwight asked:"Nothing new from the bride and groom?"
10429	A very little?"
10429	After waitin''so long?"
10429	Ai n''t this Ina?"
10429	And Ina?"
10429	And Nin into-- say, Nin, what are you, anyway?"
10429	And before they left Lulu said:"Dwight-- you ca n''t tell how long you''ll be gone?"
10429	And he had n''t seen Dwight?
10429	And how should she deal?
10429	And of course I said,''What?''
10429	And on hearing that Lulu had an errand, added still more sisterly;"Well, but mercy, what you so dressed up for?"
10429	And some one"made up a likely story to soothe her own pride-- you know how they do that?"
10429	And then cried rudely:"What are you here for?"
10429	And was he not a magistrate?
10429	And what did Lulu care what Ina liked?
10429	And where did he really hope to get?
10429	And whose disgrace is it, pray?"
10429	And,"Whose dog?"
10429	Any sort of assurance that he was speaking the truth?"
10429	Are n''t_ you_ going to sing?"
10429	Are you a little girl or are you our grown- up young lady?"
10429	Assistant justice or assistant dentist-- which?
10429	At length she was obliged to say,"Like me to- day?"
10429	Bobby now first spoke:"Who''s glum?"
10429	But I did n''t think--""You did n''t think what?"
10429	But Ina said tensely:"_ Is_ it nonsense?
10429	But at length she did say:"Why does n''t Di come?
10429	But what else could I do?"
10429	But what was she to_ do_?
10429	But when all this had spent itself, what was she herself to do?
10429	But why not let Dwight do it in his own way?
10429	But_ how_ did she do that?"
10429	Ca n''t we have a secret if we want one?"
10429	Ca n''t you run up and slip on another dress?"
10429	Come on and hear my prayers, why do n''t you?"
10429	Cornish cried warmly,"then everything_ was n''t_ all right last night?"
10429	Could Dwight and Ina come to her while she was still able to visit?
10429	Could anything be more pleasant?"
10429	Di had no answer save her furious flush, and Mrs. Bett went on:"Did n''t I tell you?
10429	Did Di Deacon take that train?"
10429	Did Mr. Cornish come to see you?"
10429	Did he give you any proofs?"
10429	Do n''t you ever go anywheres?"
10429	Do n''t you think mamma knows best?"
10429	Do n''t you want to?
10429	Do you have to work like this all the time?
10429	Do you like me?"
10429	Do you?"
10429	Dwight''s eyes narrowed:"My dear Lulu,"he said,"are you_ sure_ of that?"
10429	Have n''t I been trying and trying to find out where the black satchel went?
10429	Have n''t you noticed that?"
10429	Have you no delicacy?"
10429	He had found the house all right?
10429	He said he thought about telling us right there in the restaurant, but of course that''d been hard-- wouldn''t it?
10429	Her and Di?
10429	Her first question was:"Who''s going to do your work?"
10429	Her"Could you leave me another bottle of milk this morning?"
10429	His whole manner was a mute testimony to his participation in the eternal query: How did I get into it?
10429	How long was it?
10429	How much, Dwight?"
10429	How should I tell?"
10429	How was she to go on?
10429	I ca n''t....""You''d rather they''d know he fooled you, when he had another wife?"
10429	I mean about your going after her?"
10429	I mean that I''d know how to do?
10429	I s''pose because I''m most thirty- four and new things ai n''t so easy any more-- but what have I got or what''ll I ever have?
10429	I take it you do n''t intend to sue Ninian?"
10429	I''ve often watched you there--""You have?"
10429	III JUNE On a June morning Dwight Herbert Deacon looked at the sky, and said with his manner of originating it:"How about a picnic this afternoon?"
10429	If it was Dwight-- and they did n''t know whether he had another wife, or not, and you wanted to ask him-- oh, do n''t you see?
10429	If_ this_ was why Di was leaving home...."But, Di,"she cried,"do you love Bobby Larkin?"
10429	In October he might be heard asking:"Where''s my beautiful fall coat?"
10429	Ina''s conception of hostess- ship was definite: A volley of questions-- was his train on time?
10429	Ina, with her blank, upward look, exclaimed:"To-_day?_""First class day, it looks like to me."
10429	Is he?"
10429	Is it all right?"
10429	Is n''t everybody?"
10429	Is n''t it?"
10429	Is there anything to this absurd tale?"
10429	It was as if the sound shattered a thousand filaments-- where?
10429	Know what?"
10429	Lulu said:"I thought it was Di that you--""Miss Di?
10429	Lulu was thinking:"What shall I say?
10429	Nature''s tonic-- eh?
10429	Ninian made a great show of selecting a table, changed once, called the waiter"my man"and rubbed soft hands on"What do you say?
10429	No good can come by--""But why should n''t I have his address?"
10429	Oh, but wo n''t he bring up some songs some evening, for them to try over?
10429	Oh, could he?
10429	Oh, would Ina like that?
10429	Or were her own eyes new?
10429	Or,"W- well, it_ is n''t_ Lulu Bett any more, is it?
10429	Say, why do n''t you send it to his brother?
10429	Say, why in time do n''t you come in the other room?"
10429	See?"
10429	Shall it be lobster?"
10429	She caught his speculative look-- he had heard a tale or two concerning her return, as who in Warbleton had not heard?
10429	She cut a fresh cake, filled a plate, called to Di, saying:"Take some out to that Bobby Larkin, why do n''t you?"
10429	She had been there but once, years ago-- how could she ever find anybody?
10429	She heard Dwight''s concerned"Is that so?"
10429	She put it to her sister fairly: Now, no matter what Dwight''s way was, would n''t that be better?
10429	So at last Dwight said tentatively at lunch:"What if I brought that Neil Cornish up for supper, one of these nights?"
10429	So that after all it was a relief to Lulu to hear Dwight ask casually:"By the way, Lulu, have n''t I got some mail somewhere about?"
10429	Take off your hat, why do n''t you?"
10429	Teasing her about him, were they?
10429	The dog- kennel part-- wasn''t that the queerest thing?
10429	The evening had been to her a light from heaven-- how could she find anything to say?
10429	The less you say about it the better, for all our sakes--_you_ see that, do n''t you?"
10429	Their progeny will not eat?
10429	Then he found himself looking off the page, stabbed by a reflection which always stabbed him anew: Was he really getting anywhere with his law?
10429	There, by Jove, now have we entertained you, or have n''t we?"
10429	These details Dwight interrupted: Could n''t Lulu remember that he liked sage on the chops?
10429	To Lulu he said kindly,"Do n''t you play, Miss--?"
10429	To every one with whom they spoke in the aisle after church, Ina announced their news: Had they heard?
10429	Was he not taking her to the city?
10429	Was it possible that Di was suffering in the air of that home as she herself suffered?
10429	We_ did n''t_ elope, did we?"
10429	Well, but whom has she got to blame for it?"
10429	Well, ca n''t you see how it''d hurt her?"
10429	Well, what are you doing here?
10429	Well, where you hiding that handsome husband of yours?
10429	Well, why ca n''t they know the truth?"
10429	Well, you are a funny....""You wanted me to lie?"
10429	What am I going to do?"
10429	What can be supplied?
10429	What did it mean?
10429	What do you s''pose?
10429	What do you say, Ina-- considering Di and all?"
10429	What has she done?"
10429	What have you got that for?"
10429	What is this?
10429	What was one to think?
10429	What was she going to do?
10429	What was this, was their progeny hurt?
10429	What you going to say to that?"
10429	When Dwight inquired playfully,"Do n''t we look like company?"
10429	When only strange names and strange writing presented themselves there, he said:"Tried the parlour?"
10429	When they had gone on,"What do you mean by my having to put up with you?"
10429	When was he coming and what was he coming for?
10429	Where could she go?
10429	Where had she gone, with whom had she talked, what had she told?
10429	Where had you and Aunt Lulu been with mamma''s new bag?"
10429	Where is he?"
10429	Where were you both?"
10429	Where were you?"
10429	Where''d you been if she had n''t married?"
10429	Which way did she go?"
10429	Who was it that had lived in a boat throughout youth if not he?
10429	Who would have thought it of her?
10429	Why did n''t you tell them you''re not?"
10429	Why do n''t I send her over a baked apple?
10429	Why indeed?"
10429	Why not be sensible and leave this alone?
10429	Why, do n''t the disgrace--""What disgrace?"
10429	Would Bobby consider taking charge of the grass?
10429	Would it hurt Di?"
10429	Would n''t that be better?"
10429	Would she be adult if she were let alone?
10429	Yes, it made a man feel a certain confidence...."_ Do n''t_ it?"
10429	You ai n''t been and got married twice, have you?
10429	You came to see me?"
10429	You have it, have n''t you, Dwight?"
10429	You hear him?
10429	You know the kind of girl?"
10429	You said I must n''t tell the truth till I had the proofs...""Tell who?"
10429	You see that, do n''t you?"
10429	You think the disgrace of bigamy in this family is something the whole town will have to know about?"
10429	You wo n''t?
10429	You would n''t mind if I did open it?"
10429	You''d like that, would n''t you-- going South?"
10429	You''ll be sure,"she added,"not to say anything about what was in the letter?"
10429	You_ will_ have to tell now, wo n''t you?
10429	_ Lulu_?"
10429	_ To- night_?
43785	''Ma''who?
43785	''Miss Parker?'' 43785 A guest in her own room?
43785	A relative? 43785 Am I fierce, Erskine?"
43785	And if that delightful arrangement should be found convenient for them, I suppose you would stay on indefinitely?
43785	And this other-- person-- whoever she is, you will not let her absorb you? 43785 And what do you both think I heard just before I left the city?
43785	And who is there to escort you back? 43785 And yet, do you know, I think she has lately suffered a shock and a disappointment?
43785	And you have kept it all these years, ugly as it is, on that account? 43785 And you have really no idea when you are coming home?"
43785	Are you not forgetting your aunts in England, my dear?
43785	Are you sure that you are all right this morning, and that it was only weariness which kept you so close a prisoner last night? 43785 Are you sure?"
43785	But ought not sin to be exposed?
43785	Can a mother forget her child?
43785	Could you put it away?
43785	Did you say my mother looked worn? 43785 Did you take our carriage, dear?
43785	Do I understand that you have not been out, to- day, Friday, though it is? 43785 Do you always feel quite sure that the people for whom you pray will''recognize''Jesus Christ?"
43785	Do you feel like being read to, mamma, or would you rather be entirely quiet to- night? 43785 Do you know, I have been treated always like a little girl?
43785	Do you remember, Erskine, when our old acquaintance Mamie Parker called upon me? 43785 Does n''t it seem queer to you, ma''am, that she does n''t notice baby more?
43785	Educated?
43785	Ellen,Mrs. Burnham had said, catching sight of the girl in the next room,"what has happened here?
43785	Erskine, dear boy, what do you want to do?
43785	Erskine, dear son, I must hurt you, I am afraid; but do you realize what the truth will be to the child? 43785 Erskine, why did n''t you tell me?"
43785	Erskine,she said at last, speaking very tenderly;--"Does God sometimes make a mistake?"
43785	Erskine,she said eagerly,"what do you mean?
43785	Has Erskine come in yet, Mrs. Burnham? 43785 Have you lately lost your mother?"
43785	He grows rapidly, does n''t he?
43785	How did you find my mother?
43785	How did you learn that, Erskine?
43785	How many times must I tell you that I thought mother was resting, this afternoon, and did not disturb her with callers? 43785 How old do you think my son''s wife is?"
43785	How should I know? 43785 How soon do you think she could come to us?"
43785	I expect you have heard a good deal about Jim, have n''t you, from your son? 43785 I have never heard of Mamie Parker, have I?
43785	I mean, of making it a permanent home?
43785	I presume you have already discovered how fond he is of white?
43785	I remember her, perfectly, but--"But I am changed? 43785 Is Erskine very much attached to this place, do you suppose, or has he stayed here just for your sake?
43785	Is any thing wrong?
43785	Is n''t it beautiful here?
43785	Is n''t it nice to be alone together? 43785 Is n''t it possible for you to speak plainly?
43785	Is she worse?
43785	Is that an oak tree over there by the south gateway? 43785 Is that necessary, do you think, mother?
43785	Is this Mr. Parker so much your friend, Erskine, that he will expect your mother to call on his sister, or is that unnecessary?
43785	It seems strange that they both came back to you to die, does n''t it?
43785	Mamma, did you ever see any one get well as slowly as Irene does? 43785 Mamma, do n''t you think Irene has seemed a little better to- day, more quiet?
43785	Mamma, do n''t you think Mrs. Stuart is looking ill? 43785 Mamma,"he had said at last, hesitatingly,"Mamma, does God sometimes make a mistake?"
43785	Mamma,the boy had said as he served her to fruit,"how came you to have pronounced ideas about all sorts of things?
43785	May I take Baby, ma''am? 43785 Maybelle dear, if you call my son''father,''what name does that give to me as my rightful possession?"
43785	Maybelle,she said at last,"is it a hopeless grief?
43785	Mommie, you know just what, and how, always, do n''t you? 43785 My friend, is it possible that you do not understand?
43785	Not Erskine Burnham''s mother? 43785 Not even though the change would be a benefit to her?"
43785	Oh, Harry is here, is he? 43785 Oh, did he change?
43785	Shall you take your mother over with you?
43785	She has never mentioned a visit to you before this, has she?
43785	So you thought she was disappointed? 43785 Sure of what, my beloved dunce?
43785	TWO, AND TWO, AND TWO383 ILLUSTRATIONS"ERSKINE,"SHE SAID EAGERLY,"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
43785	The other girls? 43785 Then it is all Miss Parker''s fault?"
43785	They can all save their time by planning for somebody else, ca n''t they? 43785 WOULD he like to have one or two young people asked to meet them?
43785	Was she able to be as glad over it all as you could wish?
43785	Were you acquainted with my daughter, Miss Parker? 43785 What did you say in reply?"
43785	What do you mean, Ellen? 43785 What do you mean?
43785	What do you mean?
43785	What does that mean, please? 43785 What is it, dearest?"
43785	What tired you so, mamma? 43785 What''things''are supposed to be under consideration?"
43785	Who are these interesting people who seem to have just sprung into existence again?
43785	Who is Maybelle?
43785	Who?
43785	Whose daughter?
43785	Why is Aunt Ruth in such terrific haste?
43785	Why is that, dear? 43785 Why not, mother?
43785	Why not?
43785	Why not?
43785	Why, Ellen, how is this? 43785 Why, because,"said the child, wonderingly,"he_ belongs_, you know, and-- won''t the dear Lord take care of his own?
43785	Will you take me for a friend? 43785 Will you tell me the whole, mamma?
43785	Will you tell me who she is?
43785	Without you, I mean? 43785 Would he like to have her ask Mr. Parker and his sister in to dinner on some evening soon?
43785	You had an afternoon of calls, had you not? 43785 You have but one day here?"
43785	You knew it all the time?
43785	You knew where you meant to land, did n''t you? 43785 You noticed, did n''t you, that she said he was so full of life it wearied her to look at him?"
43785	You said you loved her; it would not be unpleasant to you to have her here, would it?
43785	You will not forget my Erskine?
43785	You will tell me when your daughter truly begins to serve Jesus Christ, wo n''t you?
43785	You woke up the wrong chap that time, did n''t you, mother?
43785	Your daughter?
43785	*****"Am I to tell her, Erskine?"
43785	--_Page 167._]"Why not, I wonder?
43785	A little later she asked:"Where do you find your charge, Ruth?
43785	ACCIDENT OR DESIGN?
43785	After a moment, he said again:"You know that I am not blaming you, do n''t you?
43785	Ai n''t it funny, instead of using their first names?
43785	Alice was superb to- night, was n''t she?"
43785	Am I not almost afraid?
43785	Am I not to know it?"
43785	Am I to be told or simply be left to imagine the steps by which you reached from rosebuds to Baby Erskine?"
43785	And how could anything be arranged for now, under such strange, such startling circumstances?
43785	And if they do not, why not?
43785	And later, had she not herself taken the initiative and opened the way for her husband to do his belated duty?
43785	And must she learn to think"they"and never"him"?
43785	And noting it, how could she possibly have interfered with that cherished corner?
43785	And now,--don''t you think I ought to know all about it, and be making plans to support myself?"
43785	And then-- should she like him by and by, when he had run over two or three more pages, to read to her?
43785	And was not that same woman her mother?
43785	And was the hope well founded?
43785	And what about her brother?
43785	And what are either of them to me?
43785	And why was she not there?
43785	And would she stay, do you think?
43785	And yet, what might not Erskine say when at last he broke it?
43785	And yet-- who could tell?
43785	And-- How would such a masterful young man as Erskine get on with a stepfather?
43785	Are n''t they lovely?
43785	Are n''t you ambitious for him?
43785	Are n''t you feeling well?"
43785	Are you ill, mother?
43785	Are you staying in the neighborhood, and will you not come to us for a visit?"
43785	Are you sure he is your cousin?
43785	Besides, would n''t this be a convenient time to show her cousin some attention?
43785	Burnham?"
43785	But could she shut it out, or get away from it?
43785	But was it not to be supposed that a wife would consult her husband''s tastes as well as her own?
43785	But what was it in her that had won him?
43785	But what was the duty of such a mother toward such a child?
43785	But when I grew old enough to realize what love really is, I knew better; for what is enforced service worth?
43785	But why go over all that ground again?
43785	But-- do you realize the situation, do you think?
43785	CHAPTER IV WOULD SHE"DO"?
43785	CHAPTER XII ACCIDENT OR DESIGN?
43785	CHAPTER XIII WAS IRENE RIGHT?
43785	CHAPTER XVIII JUSTICE OR MERCY?
43785	CHAPTER XXV A CRISIS"DO you think I will ever let you go away from us again?"
43785	Ca n''t I borrow your cousin for this evening, and get even with him?"
43785	Can not you wait, dear?"
43785	Colchester?"
43785	Could Dr. Cartwright speak to him a moment?
43785	Could a girl ever care very much for one who talked and felt as she did about the dearest, kindest, most loving papa that ever lived?
43785	Could he be coming so soon that this was really her last letter?
43785	Could her daughter- in- law hope to make a prisoner of her in her own house?
43785	Could his mother make it a stepping- stone to conversation?
43785	Could it be that continually recurring"we"?
43785	Could it be that this was what was preying upon Irene and causing that retrograde movement?
43785	Could not God take care of his own?
43785	Could not her new mother have helped her through this first strange day?
43785	Could one love people who talked in that way before a child about her dear dead mother?
43785	Could she be feverish?
43785	Could she do other than shrink from her now, after all these strange years?
43785	Could she expect any man to take sides against his wife?
43785	Could she want him to do such a thing even for her?
43785	Could she?
43785	Dear Mrs. Burnham, if she were your daughter and I could be your granddaughter, would not that be perfect?
43785	Dear Mrs. Burnham, may I claim the privilege of an old acquaintance and ask to see you quite alone where there will be no danger of interruption?
43785	Did Mr. Burnham wish this, or that, or the other?
43785	Did Mrs. Burnham know that her friend had the name of always doing the most delicate kindnesses that no one else would have thought of?
43785	Did Mrs. Burnham understand that Miss Parker knew personally any of the family connection?
43785	Did ever grandmother take such triumphant news in such strange fashion before?
43785	Did he blame her for the strange exhibition he had seen that afternoon?
43785	Did he have a pleasant evening, and was the occasion all that it should have been?
43785	Did he understand, would he ever understand, what a mountain weight he had suddenly lifted from his mother''s heart?
43785	Did his face cloud a little?
43785	Did n''t I always insist upon that, mamma, in the days when you did not like him very well?
43785	Did n''t Mrs. Burnham think that was a calamity for a man?
43785	Did n''t he think Miriam was pretty?
43785	Did n''t he think her delightful in conversation?
43785	Did n''t she really go out at all to- day?
43785	Did n''t you notice Parker last Wednesday at the concert?
43785	Did not this infringe upon her solemn covenant with God to shield her daughter- in- law as much as right would permit?
43785	Did other mothers, waiting for the home- coming of their married sons, have such strange thoughts as haunted her?
43785	Did she speak of having cold?"
43785	Did this give her a special advantage?
43785	Did you arrange them, Irene?
43785	Did you hear her say the other day that the Somerville brothers, great English bankers that Ned Lake was asking her about, were her uncles?"
43785	Did you really think I cared for it on that account?
43785	Did you sleep well?"
43785	Do n''t you find it so?"
43785	Do n''t you hope so?
43785	Do n''t you think Erskine is an awful pretty name?
43785	Do n''t you think he is inclined to be over- conscientious, sometimes?
43785	Do n''t you think it is dreadful to see a man cry?
43785	Do n''t you think oaks are ugly?
43785	Do n''t you think so, mamma?
43785	Do n''t you want to drive, Irene?
43785	Do not tell her anything save that you wanted her-- that is true, is it not?"
43785	Do the summer plans include you?
43785	Do you feel a little bit rested?"
43785	Do you not know that to my mother you are the one young woman?"
43785	Do you not know to your grief that in some matters she dominates him?"
43785	Do you realize, dear, that he is your namesake, as well as mine?
43785	Do you really remember Mamie Parker just a little bit?"
43785	Do you remember me sufficiently to realize the possibilities?"
43785	Do you remember that parlor in the house where my dear brother Jim boarded?
43785	Do you think it is like most men to be so constant to a memory?"
43785	Do you think we have forgiven you already for those months of indifference to us?
43785	Do you understand it?
43785	Does he know that I loved her and prayed for her all the time?
43785	Does he mean to talk to me about her, do you think?
43785	Does n''t she, Irene?"
43785	Does she think she deserves the most beautiful, most intelligent grandson that ever drew breath?"
43785	Does the Bible say we must not?
43785	Gone where?"
43785	Had her long- sluggish conscience awakened at last?
43785	Had not Marian Dennis pleaded earnestly for a famous boys''school fifty miles away?
43785	Had not Ruth Erskine, away back in her girlhood, helped her father in his tardy right- doing?
43785	Had not the Lord made good this word?
43785	Had she appeared cold, or indifferent, or, worse than either, jealous?
43785	Had she done so, would she have been thought"sentimental?"
43785	Had she not been reported as having called to see if the girl would"do"?
43785	Had she overwearied herself that afternoon?
43785	Had she simply and deliberately flirted with him, to show that insufferable old man that there were others besides his son who wanted her?
43785	Had she too meant a caution?
43785	Had that pretty- faced, ill- dressed, ill- bred girl secured in some unaccountable way a permanent hold on her son''s heart?
43785	Had the poor young wife, a stranger in a strange home, shut herself up to sleep, or to cry?
43785	Had there been any accident or detention that had worn upon her?
43785	Had there ever been one just like him?
43785	Had you supposed him to be of the material that makes missionaries?
43785	Has n''t he been here before?"
43785	Has n''t it been a perfect day?
43785	Has there been an accident?"
43785	Have n''t I spoken before of his sister?
43785	Have you made her confess, Irene?"
43785	Have you not confused me with some other friend?
43785	Have you not daily proof of the limit of his influence over Irene?
43785	Have you really such queer notions, mother, as Erskine pretends?"
43785	He ought to be in the city; that is the place for a man to rise; and you want him to rise, do n''t you?
43785	He took me to see Grandmother, did you know that?
43785	Heredity was not everything, she reminded herself; and even according to it its full place, had not the boy a father?
43785	How can one shift such responsibilities as that, especially upon a stranger?"
43785	How could I tell you, dearest?
43785	How could I, dear Mrs. Burnham, when he is your son, and you asked me to pray for him?
43785	How could one who knew her so little and had so little in common with her life be expected to be other than indifferent?
43785	How could she have deserted this child?
43785	How could they?
43785	How did you hear of it all, and when?"
43785	How does his sister like that?"
43785	How does that sound, my boy?
43785	How had it been possible for her to deceive Erskine in this way?
43785	How had such a transformation been possible?
43785	How indeed could she help it?
43785	How is one to endure such a state of things for a lifetime?
43785	How long have you known it?"
43785	How should I know what you are talking about?
43785	How should he?
43785	How should she tell him?
43785	How should the place and the interview and her impressions of the entire scene be described?
43785	How was it possible for Alice Warder to be guilty of such long- drawn- out unpardonable hypocrisy as this?
43785	How was it possible for his wife to have spent six months in his home without noting all this?
43785	How was she ever to hope to guide a boy like Erskine successfully through its snares, without even a pastor to lean upon?
43785	How was she to bear this silence?
43785	How would it be possible for a boy with such an inheritance as such a mother would give him, to escape the snares that would assuredly be set for him?
43785	How would they do?"
43785	How, for instance, was she to break this terrible piece of news to Erskine?
43785	I hope the picture is safe?
43785	I hope you have both been out a great deal?
43785	I hope you will let me help?
43785	I make fellows who want my company mind their p''s and q''s, do n''t I, Jim?"
43785	I mean would she stay willingly?
43785	I wonder if it can be possible that she cared for the child''s father, as the Madame hints?
43785	If Irene meant to begin thus early to keep the boy under her constant care and surveillance, what hope was there for his future?
43785	If Maybelle comes to us, to remain, what is to be said to them?"
43785	If he thought that,--if he blamed her in any way, how would it be possible ever to undeceive him?
43785	If he was acquainted with her present name, might he not look upon the coming of her husband''s mother as an added insult?
43785	If she must be separated from Erskine for the first time in his life, could n''t she be let alone in her own home?
43785	If there is any way in which I can help without infringing on confidences, you will let me, of course?"
43785	Illustration:"ERSKINE,"SHE SAID EAGERLY,"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
43785	In truth she needed no information, but how was Erskine to know that?
43785	Instead of trying to arrange how to break the dreadful news to Erskine, ought she not to be planning how to avoid having him know anything about it?
43785	Irene moved on her pillow so as to get a more direct view of the other''s face as she asked:--"What do you mean?"
43785	Irene was his wife, and he would do his duty at whatever cost, but just what was his duty?
43785	Is it Miss Parker, now?
43785	Is it possible that she is mixed up in our family matters?"
43785	Is it simply the making calls that has exhausted you?
43785	Is n''t it marked, or is it because I have n''t seen her lately?"
43785	Is n''t it so in all our lives?
43785	Is n''t it?"
43785	Is she a young girl, did you say?
43785	Is she an old sweetheart of yours?"
43785	Is she responsible for her?
43785	Is she''Miss Parker''still, after all these years?
43785	Is that so?
43785	Is that so?"
43785	Is there no One who can help?"
43785	It looks as though there was a love affair, somewhere, does n''t it?
43785	It seemed a strange--"Providence-- shall we call it?"
43785	It seemed strange that the girl was not to go out to them; but then, her poor father-- Had Mrs. Burnham been personally acquainted with the father?
43785	It seems strange, does n''t it, when I have never seen her?
43785	It was not as though some terrible calamity had overtaken her, and yet-- could she have done differently if it had been?
43785	JUSTICE OR MERCY?
43785	Lock out her son?
43785	May I claim a little of your time to- day, and tell you just a little bit of the story, for a purpose?
43785	May I give you some coffee?"
43785	May I tell you very briefly just a little of what you have been to me?
43785	Might he bring him to her, and could she care for him until they could plan how to manage?
43785	Might it not be possible that in giving him this awful view of her in sharp contrast with Alice Warder she had but alienated him from herself?
43785	Miss Parker, she believed, was not even remotely related to the girl, not even a relative of the relatives-- was she?
43785	More than once in the years gone by Mrs. Burnham had overheard some such remark as:"It will be hard on that mother when Erskine marries, will it not?"
43785	Mrs. Burnham, do Christian people ever pray for their dead?
43785	Must I trump up an attack of mumps, or dumps, or what?"
43785	Must she learn to say"Mamie"?
43785	Not Mamie?
43785	Now do you wonder that I was simply amazed over such an announcement?"
43785	Now, is n''t that a romantic story, and a startling one?
43785	Now, may I ask you to begin at the beginning and tell me all that you know about this matter?
43785	Of course she could never any more be"dearest"--his special name for her; but-- was he never again for a little while to be just himself, to her?
43785	Of course she is a Christian?"
43785	Of course you know that there was a child, a little daughter?"
43785	Oh, dear friend, do n''t you think he wants you too?"
43785	Oh, it is Friday, is n''t it?
43785	Oh, what shall I do?
43785	Or rather, who did?
43785	Or rather, why was it being brought forward just now?
43785	Or should she put it,"Irene and Erskine"?
43785	Or was it a slight concession, unawares, to that new feeling of resentment?
43785	Or was she too tired to- night for reading?
43785	Or, failing in that, what if she had simply kept her hand off and let things take their course?
43785	Ought she even to exonerate herself?
43785	Ought she to do something to make the other woman feel at home?
43785	Ought she-- the woman who knew the whole dread story, knew many details that the sick one did not-- ought she to be the surgeon to probe that wound?
43785	Pray how is your absence to be accounted for?
43785	Rooms have a great deal of individuality, do n''t you think?
43785	Ruth could not suppress a little start of surprise and-- was it pain?
43785	Shall I read to you, mamma, a little while?
43785	Shall I speak to Madame Sternheim myself about it?"
43785	She but fourteen when Irene was married?
43785	She knew that she would never do it, but ought not Mamie Parker who had mothered the child, to understand?
43785	She was far from being satisfied with this, and was always asking herself:"How long will he do this?"
43785	She was really a wonderful woman?
43785	Should his mother go and try to comfort him?
43785	Should she attempt this?
43785	Should she go down to the guests, apologize for tardiness, and act as though nothing had occurred to disturb her?
43785	Should she let one tear mar this night of her son''s new joy?
43785	Should she lock her door?
43785	Should she tell that to Erskine?
43785	Since Irene''s moral twist with regard to truth was most apparent, why should she be expected to spurn the thought of other immoralities?
43785	Since Miss Warder-- must I call you''Miss Warder''?
43785	So meanly jealous as that?
43785	Somewhere with Maybelle, if that could be brought about; only-- What could be said to Erskine?
43785	Suppose she had not?
43785	Suppose she had taken the child away with her, and mothered it all these years, and, at last, Erskine had married her?
43785	That Miss Parker was by nature more refined than the other ladies?
43785	That is rather surprising, is n''t it?
43785	That is unusual for mother, is n''t it?
43785	That your mother is fifty- three?
43785	That, of course, would be the sensible way; but,--could she do it well, with the closely observing and indignant Ellen to confront?
43785	The question was, What did Erskine want?
43785	The question was, Why had their story interested this sick woman?
43785	The relatives were all in England, were they not?
43785	The sister?
43785	Then he said cheerfully:"That is out at last, is it?
43785	Then why did they not confide in his mother,_ their_ mother?
43785	There is n''t one about the place, is there?"
43785	They were on the porch, they were in the hall; she could hear her son''s voice:--"Where is my mother?"
43785	This-- child?
43785	Those are lawyers''terms, are n''t they?
43785	WAS IRENE RIGHT?
43785	WOULD SHE"DO"?
43785	Wait, must her boy, her one treasure, be away from her influence?
43785	Wait-- ought she to undeceive him?
43785	Was Irene right, also?
43785	Was ever daughter before called upon to receive a new mother in such way as that?
43785	Was ever heavier cross or greater blessing thrust into a life than that girl represented to the girl Ruth Erskine?
43785	Was ever sweeter, purer, more lovable girl born of woman than she?
43785	Was he not her lover?
43785	Was her daughter- in- law''s indifference to her only a trifle?
43785	Was his mother grieved that he had married at all?
43785	Was it absolutely necessary?
43785	Was it always so?
43785	Was it necessary for her to tell all this?
43785	Was it possible that this very serious illness, whose outcome much of the time had been more than doubtful, had wrought changes in Irene?
43785	Was my father of that mind?"
43785	Was n''t it funny?"
43785	Was she afraid that her former husband was still living, and that he and Erskine might, sometime, meet?
43785	Was she also an old acquaintance of mine?"
43785	Was she awake?
43785	Was she being cruel, too, lying quietly there concealing a weapon with which she was presently to stab him?
43785	Was she going to be a jealous woman, with all the rest?
43785	Was she herself what Erskine, if he had made use of the modern slang, might call a"back number"?
43785	Was she not in these later days almost more at home in Flossy''s house than in her own?
43785	Was she perhaps ignorant of the fate of her daughter?
43785	Was that forever the lot of motherhood, to stand aside and have some one else touch the deepest life of her children, whether in joy or pain?
43785	Was that her taste, or Erskine''s fancy?
43785	Was there a woman living who needed prayer more than this child''s mother?
43785	Was there reproach in his voice?
43785	Was this Mamie Parker different?
43785	Was this strange new mood of Irene''s part of the answer?
43785	Was your aunt compelled to remain abroad on account of the climate?
43785	We talk a great deal about sentimental youth, but I think it is the old who are sentimental, do n''t you?
43785	Well, she knew of him probably?
43785	Well, why should she not be sure?
43785	Were n''t there such days?
43785	Were the child''s prayers being answered?
43785	Were you always so?"
43785	Were you brought up in that way?"
43785	Were you in her room?"
43785	What a queer old place this is, is n''t it?
43785	What about him, mamma?"
43785	What am I talking about?
43785	What could I possibly have done for you in the few, the very few times that we met?"
43785	What could be more appropriate for a beautiful old lady?
43785	What could have been her motive?
43785	What could one possibly ask more for them?"
43785	What could this woman mean?
43785	What did he know of the after history of the mother of his child?
43785	What did he think about it all?
43785	What did she hope to accomplish by such a singularly distorted representation of their talk together?
43785	What did you think of him, mamma?
43785	What explanation could she possibly make to him as to her interest in his daughter?
43785	What explanation of her existence, of their intense interest in her, could be given to Erskine?
43785	What had happened to her, after all, but that which fell to the lot of mothers?
43785	What had kept her from saying them?
43785	What had suddenly taken her there?
43785	What had this terrible evening done for him, and for her?
43785	What have you been about, Irene?"
43785	What ideas had they in common?
43785	What if you should be ill in the night?"
43785	What is it you want me to ask for her?
43785	What is she?
43785	What is the matter?"
43785	What must they think of her, at home, and well, and not there to meet them?
43785	What of heredity here?
43785	What ought she to do?
43785	What possible claim can she have on you?
43785	What reason did she give, dear, for not coming down?"
43785	What should it be?
43785	What should she do now?
43785	What should she tell to Erskine?
43785	What strange freak or whim was this?
43785	What was being given as the reason why she was not there to meet them?
43785	What was it that Erskine hoped?
43785	What was making that strange stricture around her heart as though a cold hand had clutched her and was holding on?
43785	What was she to do?
43785	What was that promise?
43785	What was the charm, mommie?
43785	What was there about it that jarred?
43785	What was to be said to her?
43785	What would he be likely to do?
43785	What would you have a poor woman do who was caught as an acquaintance of mine was, a year or so ago?
43785	When he comes, will you ask him if he can give me an uninterrupted half- hour this evening for something special?"
43785	When should people begin to be called old, pray, if not at fifty?
43785	When, before, had he hesitated to urge what he desired?
43785	When, before, had she spent a day in such fashion?
43785	Where are you?
43785	Where did you go?
43785	Where was her Father?
43785	Where would those sweeping assertions you have been making place her?"
43785	Where?
43785	Who could know better than she the cost of such effort?
43785	Who could tell what questions of horror and terror were struggling in her tired brain and wearing out her weakened body?
43785	Who is she?
43785	Who was it?"
43785	Whose father?
43785	Why did n''t you keep her to dinner?
43785	Why did not Erskine, at least, confide in her?
43785	Why did she sit there in that inane way as though she were in very deed a prisoner?
43785	Why does n''t she stay at home and attend to her own affairs, since they are of so much importance?
43785	Why does she especially need a friend?"
43785	Why had Irene chosen just this line of attack?
43785	Why had she done it?
43785	Why had she done it?
43785	Why had she not put tender arms about her and kissed her, and called her"daughter,"and said how glad she was to have a daughter?
43785	Why had she not waited, and watched, and understood better before she attempted anything?
43785	Why is she so interested in this girl?
43785	Why not go down, as a matter of course, and take her proper place as usual?
43785	Why should life without him be called living?
43785	Why should n''t she order one if she wanted it?"
43785	Why should n''t she want him to find that lovely being who must have been foreordained for him?
43785	Why should she be, when Erskine was undeniably happy in the life he had planned?
43785	Why should there be occasion for mentioning that?
43785	Why then, in this supreme decision of his life, had she in a sense been counted out?
43785	Why, no, mother, of course he could not very well make any other arrangement; why should he?
43785	Why, this is a spring month, is n''t it?
43785	Will I''phone for a carriage, ma''am?"
43785	Will not your friend think it very strange in me, a stranger, to intrude upon her home?"
43785	Will you begin at the beginning and let me have all that you know?
43785	Will you let me?"
43785	Will you tell me how you came to know about me, and why you have not told Erskine?
43785	With such antecedents as his how could it have been otherwise?
43785	Wo n''t you try to put it all away for to- night?
43785	Would Erskine think it the right step for her to take?
43785	Would Irene ever be intensely interested in Maybelle?
43785	Would he not insist that the mother should do her tardy duty toward the child?
43785	Would he see Miss Stuart for just a minute about a telegram?
43785	Would her name tell him anything?
43785	Would it be any wonder if the tears wanted to come?
43785	Would she be kind enough to take Irene''s place at table?
43785	Would she come?
43785	Would this woman with her beautiful face and gracious ways and cultivated mind and heart have become Erskine''s wife, and her daughter?
43785	Yet how could she counsel her daughter to pray for her?
43785	Yet where before have I seen that face?"
43785	Yet, was it right to let her son''s good name be smirched unnecessarily in the eyes of this woman who had known him in his spotless youth?
43785	You ca n''t quite control your horror of that, can you?
43785	You have had all sorts of experiences yourself, have n''t you?
43785	You know how she was just bound up in the child, and could n''t seem to think of anything else?"
43785	You know that, do n''t you?
43785	and could she learn such a lesson?
43785	and what good could come in any way from that which now began to look like interference?
43785	and what was said to tire you so?
43785	and"Are such concessions worth anything in the way of character?"
43785	ca n''t you hook it?
43785	could an honorable man condone such small and unnecessary meannesses as that?
43785	do n''t I know all about that?
43785	do you mean it?
43785	do you suppose you know anything about how a boy feels to get his mother again?"
43785	have n''t I put that well?
43785	is she?--of whom you are speaking, she is not,--not alone in the world?
43785	or do you mean that it is your pleasure to ignore her?
43785	or was it what they did n''t say?
43785	or would that indicate a greater degree of intimacy with the young man than he cared to live up to?"
43785	so soon, at least, after her bereavement?
43785	that I may?"
43785	the heart is a curious country, is n''t it?"
43785	what will you think of me?
43785	whom could I mean?
43785	you have n''t any girl at all, have you?
43785	you need a daughter, do n''t you?"
43827	''Why not?''
43827	A fellow- countryman, Cornélie?
43827	A friend? 43827 A poet?"
43827	A story?
43827	An article? 43827 And amusing?"
43827	And are n''t you?
43827	And as regards Urania?
43827	And do n''t you intend to see the ruins?
43827	And how do you manage here, with this old hag?
43827	And promise to help you?
43827	And shall we have a talk now?
43827	And the divorced Dutchwoman?
43827	And the young baroness?
43827	And those two very attractive Dutch girls?
43827	And what are you doing here, at this hour?
43827	And what does Mr. Van der Staal think of it?
43827	And when were you to go to the prince?
43827	And who besides?
43827	And you think that I ought not to sell myself?
43827	And you, has our religion no charm for you?
43827	And your father? 43827 And...?"
43827	Are n''t you tired? 43827 Are n''t you well?"
43827	Are there many titled people in the house?
43827	Are they urgent?
43827	Are we enemies then, for good?
43827	Are you a Catholic?
43827	Are you angry?
43827	Are you dining at home?
43827	Are you feeling better?
43827	Are you fond of Mr. Van der Staal?
43827	Are you going to marry him, Cornélie?
43827	Are you really my friend? 43827 Are you still tired?"
43827	Are you tired?
43827	As I might buy a new coat or a new bicycle?
43827	As strangers?
43827	At the Hague?
43827	Because of the world? 43827 Bread?"
43827	But how?
43827	But is this a thing to fight against? 43827 But perhaps we both wish to go to the same length?"
43827	But then why did you come to Rome?
43827	But what do you do then?
43827	But what does that matter to me? 43827 But what then, my darling?
43827	But who''s going to lead my cotillon presently?
43827	But why did n''t you write to us? 43827 But why?"
43827	But you are studying, are n''t you?
43827	But you despise me, because you consider me a useless creature, an æsthete and a dreamer?
43827	But you nearly ruined your career for the sake of that pattern?
43827	By Rudyard?
43827	By the right of the man, of the strongest?
43827	Can I say good- bye to Prince Ercole? 43827 Can you manage it?"
43827	Care to stay here?
43827	Cornélie, had n''t we better lunch at the_ osteria_?
43827	Did you?
43827	Do n''t you appreciate the beauties of nature?
43827	Do n''t you dream of yourself?
43827	Do n''t you feel Rome here?
43827	Do n''t you know what Rudyard is?
43827	Do n''t you like meeting and studying people?
43827	Do n''t you ride?
43827	Do n''t you think it''s fun to meet your old husband again?
43827	Do they just accept you here, at Nice?
43827	Do you agree?
43827	Do you do all this?
43827	Do you doubt it?
43827	Do you ever think about modern problems?
43827	Do you feel all right?
43827	Do you like going about, as your sisters do?
43827	Do you mean it?
43827	Do you never doubt? 43827 Do you only love one then?
43827	Do you paint?
43827	Do you promise me?
43827	Do you read much?
43827	Do you really mean that? 43827 Do you talk to every one so intimately?"
43827	Do you think it''s discreet on your part... or delicate?
43827	Do you think that a good mode of life?
43827	Do you understand that? 43827 Do you write?"
43827	Dutch?
43827	Enemies then?
43827	For how much are you selling yourself to Urania? 43827 French, German, English, American?"
43827	Have you any knowledge of human nature?
43827	Have you been sight- seeing again?
43827	Have you breakfasted?
43827	Have you done so already?
43827	Have you ever been in love?
43827	Have you ever felt hungry?
43827	Have you ever suffered?
43827	Have you given Miss Hope something too?
43827	He has narrow- minded notions: how can you want to get married for the sake of a world and people like San Stefano and the prince?
43827	He''s in the army, a first lieutenant...."In which regiment?
43827	How can I extinguish that burning?
43827	How can you admire an age of emperors who were brutes and mad?
43827	How can you ask me such a question? 43827 How did you sleep, prince?"
43827	How do you come to speak to me so openly?
43827	How do you know?
43827	How do you mean?
43827	How do you mean?
43827	How do you mean?
43827	How does Van der Staal take it?
43827	How is it possible that you do n''t see the present before you, with the problems of our own time, especially the eternal problem of poverty?
43827	How is that possible? 43827 How so?"
43827	I am unworthy, am I, and petty and rude and not a man and my temperament does n''t suit you? 43827 I do n''t know....""In Italy?"
43827	I thought you were not religious?
43827	I? 43827 I?"
43827	In the Grand- Hôtel?
43827	In what respect?
43827	Is it south?
43827	Is it true, what they say at the Hague? 43827 Is n''t Urania angry?"
43827	Is she a noblewoman?
43827	Is she jealous?
43827	Is that courteous, towards a woman?
43827	Is the prince back then?
43827	Jealous?... 43827 La Belloni?"
43827	May I come with you? 43827 May I give you something?"
43827	May I speak to Miss Hope alone for a moment?
43827	May I walk with you?
43827	Me?
43827	Mrs. Uxeley, is everything going as it should?
43827	Mrs. Uxeley,Cornélie began, in a trembling voice,"may I introduce a fellow- countryman of mine?
43827	My dear child, why are you upsetting yourself like this? 43827 Nor the fair Urania either?
43827	Not free?
43827	Not from Urania?
43827	Not from_ me_?
43827	Not the length to which_ I_ wish?
43827	Of what?
43827	Oh, well, we''re not strangers: we even know each other uncommonly intimately, eh?... 43827 Only what?"
43827	Perhaps you would like to hit me and knock me about?
43827	Perhaps you write too?
43827	Prince Ercole, surely?
43827	Prince,she said, persuasively,"why all this anger and passion and exasperation?
43827	Proofs?
43827	Shall I marry her?
43827	She must be angry with me, is n''t she?
43827	Should I have bowed to you, do you think?
43827	So I am not cultivated?
43827	So I am not modern?
43827	So it''s a struggle for life and death?
43827	So serious?
43827	So there''s no one except the stocking- merchant?
43827	So you are my enemy?
43827	Suffered? 43827 Tell me, what do you advise me to do?"
43827	Tell me; do you still love him?
43827	That German lady?
43827	The curtains?
43827	The woman question? 43827 Then why did you do it?"
43827	Then why do n''t you adopt another?
43827	To- morrow evening? 43827 Too proud?"
43827	Until to- morrow then, at half- past eight?
43827	Unworthy? 43827 Urania''s a bore.... Tell me, what do you advise me to do?
43827	Urania?
43827	We ought never to have got divorced, ought we?
43827	We_ must_ get married at once?
43827	Well?
43827	What about the cotillon?
43827	What about?
43827	What am I doing? 43827 What am I suggesting?
43827	What are you, then?
43827	What can I do, if you thwart me? 43827 What can he be?"
43827	What can you have to say to me?
43827	What do you care about the opinion of''small, insignificant people, who chance to cross your path,''as you yourself say?
43827	What do you know about it? 43827 What do you know about my temperament?"
43827	What do you know about them?
43827	What do you mean?
43827	What do you mean?
43827	What do you say his name is?
43827	What do you see in him?
43827	What do you want to speak to me about?
43827	What has happened?
43827	What if we were alone? 43827 What is he?"
43827	What is it, Cornélie?
43827	What is it, Cornélie?
43827	What is it?
43827	What is it?
43827	What is it?
43827	What is the Signora de Retz doing?
43827	What is there in it? 43827 What shall I order for you?"
43827	What shall I tell him?
43827	What then, dearest?
43827	What used you to say to me in the old days, when you were in love with me?
43827	What used you to say?
43827	What will you have?
43827	What?
43827	What?
43827	What?
43827	Where are you going?
43827	Where are you going?
43827	Where are you going?
43827	Where are you going?
43827	Where is Van der Staal?
43827	Where would you like to live?
43827	Where?
43827	Which Rome?
43827	Which career?
43827	Who is he?
43827	Why are you so vexed with me?
43827	Why ca n''t we be just good friends?
43827	Why did n''t you go to London, or Manchester, or one of those black manufacturing towns?
43827	Why did she object?
43827	Why did you run away from me?
43827	Why do you monopolize Gilio? 43827 Why does she put herself between me and the American stocking- seller?
43827	Why is n''t he here?
43827	Why may n''t I tell you so? 43827 Why mistaken?"
43827	Why not you and I alone?
43827	Why not? 43827 Why not?"
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why not?
43827	Why should I tell you about it?
43827	Why wo n''t you?
43827	Why? 43827 Why?"
43827	Why?
43827	Why?
43827	Why?
43827	Will you allow me to tell you something?
43827	Will you never forget that act of self- defence?
43827	Will you take me?
43827	With a kiss?
43827	Wo n''t it soon be time for the pavane?
43827	Yes, yes, what do you think?
43827	You admit that?
43827	You are Dutch?
43827	You have n''t forgotten me altogether?
43827	You have never been to San Stefano before? 43827 You knew, did you not-- I even now do n''t know how-- you knew for how many millions I sold myself?
43827	You surely do n''t think that you can compel me?
43827	You''re looking at the major- domo?
43827	You''re mad?
43827	_ Subito, subito!_He bought her the bunch of violets:"You''re crazy over violets, are n''t you?"
43827	''t be done, really not....""Do n''t you love me well enough?"
43827	A copy of the code lay on her table, a survival of the days of her divorce; but had she understood the law correctly?
43827	A delightful town, is n''t it?
43827	A friend of the Princess Urania, I believe?
43827	About Van der Staal?"
43827	Am I bound to fight against it?
43827	And did not nearly everybody live more or less so- so, with a good deal of give and take?
43827	And had n''t Aunt Lucia warned him lately that she was a dangerous woman, an uncanny woman, a woman of the devil?
43827	And had n''t he waited an hour, two hours, without sleeping, until he saw them come back and lock the door after them?
43827	And he begged Urania not to give him away: it might injure him in his career--"What career?"
43827	And is everything as it used to be, in your cosy studio?
43827	And she asked the postman, nervously:"Can you send off a telegram for me at once?"
43827	And the marchesa?"
43827	And then what would she have left?
43827	And then, she asked Mrs. Van der Staal, who were"people?"
43827	And then....""Yes?"
43827	And what about yourself?
43827	And what had Gilio said when she once complained of her grievance to him?
43827	And what was the good of thinking about it?
43827	And where?"
43827	And why did she love only him, that painter?
43827	And why did she not speak of Virgilio''s bracelet to Duco?
43827	And will you ask Mr. Van der Staal also to give me the pleasure of his company?"
43827	And with a natural gesture he spread out his arms:"May I thank you, Cornélie?"
43827	And you....""And I?"
43827	And, as for unhappiness,"he continued, pulling a tragic face,"what do I care?
43827	And, in her own case, what was the impulse?...
43827	And... will you come to San Stefano?"
43827	And_ was_ she really no longer his wife?
43827	Are we good friends, you and I?
43827	Are you coming for a little walk with me?
43827	Are you drinking Rome in with your very breath?"
43827	Are you happy?
43827	Are you one?"
43827	Are you seeing me home?"
43827	Are you thinking seriously of marrying her?"
43827	Are you very hungry?"
43827	Are you working on another pamphlet now?"
43827	Because Gilio was rude and Urania prim?...
43827	Because I have a few modern ideas and a few others which are broader- minded than those of most women?
43827	Because of people?"
43827	But can you understand now that_ il povero__ Gilio_ is poorer than he was before he acquired shares in a Chicago stocking- factory?"
43827	But first tell me, how shall I tell Urania?"
43827	But how was she to strive, how to work for their lives and their bread?
43827	But how, abroad?
43827	But how?
43827	But oh, how was she to tell Duco?
43827	But she did like Gilio a little now, did n''t she?
43827	But then?
43827	But we are in a foreign country....""What difference does that make?"
43827	But what could she have done for her family- circle, after the scandal of her divorce?
43827	But what then?
43827	But why did he excite himself?
43827	But why did she not speak of Gilio''s bracelet?...
43827	But why do you want me to tell you about him?"
43827	But why may I not sometimes be cheerful?
43827	But would the majority not always remain feminine, just women and weak?"
43827	But you would n''t care to go, would you?"
43827	But_ was_ she divorced, was everything over between them?
43827	Buy me those violets, will you?"
43827	CHAPTER XI"What do those strangers matter to you?"
43827	Ca n''t we do that as strangers?"
43827	Can I trust you?
43827	Can I trust your advice?"
43827	Come and look at your sketches: will you be starting work soon?
43827	Cornélie raised her eyebrows:"What do you mean?"
43827	Cornélie rose:"May I give you a glass out of my bottle?"
43827	Cornélie was startled:"A joke, you think, Mr. Van der Staal?"
43827	Cornélie, will you be my wife?"
43827	Could n''t you help me too some time, marchesa?
43827	Could she not have managed him, with a little tact and patience?
43827	Cut him.... That dinner, last night, was a torture to me....""My poor boy,"she said, gently, filling his glass from their_ fiasco_,"but why?"
43827	Did I hit hard?"
43827	Did she mind?
43827	Did you like Rome?"
43827	Did you think him absurd?"
43827	Do n''t forget me; and write, wo n''t you?...
43827	Do n''t you know whom I mean?
43827	Do n''t you see how you''re upsetting me?
43827	Do n''t you see that I sometimes feel as if I could cry?
43827	Do n''t you see that it ca n''t be done?
43827	Do n''t you think it dreadful, that we no longer have it?"
43827	Do n''t you think you ought to go home a little earlier to- night?"
43827	Do n''t you understand?
43827	Do you believe me?"
43827	Do you belong to me, tell me, do you belong to me?"
43827	Do you feel sure of your ideas on the training of children?"
43827	Do you forgive me?
43827	Do you hear?
43827	Do you know everything?"
43827	Do you know that you''re a very lovely woman?
43827	Do you know what I''ve got?
43827	Do you know whom I met?"
43827	Do you know whom I think the most to be pitied?
43827	Do you no longer care a straw for the whole boiling of them?"
43827	Do you promise to improve?"
43827	Do you refuse?
43827	Do you remember when...?"
43827	Do you see it before you?
43827	Do you see that little mythological scene up there, by Giulio Romano?
43827	Do you still propose to speak to Mrs. Uxeley?
43827	Do you understand that I do n''t flirt and fence with you?
43827	Do you understand that?
43827	Do you, girls?"
43827	Dollars?
43827	Duco, am I wicked?"
43827	Duco, does n''t the pergola remind you of a classic ode?
43827	Facts are facts.... Will you show me the door now?
43827	Five millions?
43827	Five millions?
43827	For not less than ten millions?"
43827	Had he not always wanted to marry her?
43827	Had she the_ mal''occhio_?
43827	Had the law taught her womanhood or had he?
43827	Had the old woman never heard my name, or has she forgotten it?
43827	Has the hairdresser brought the wigs for the young men?"
43827	Have you always been?
43827	Have you lost your sense of humour?
43827	Have you seen our Mantegnas?
43827	He became nervous, made another attempt to restrain her; but she had already asked the porter:"Is_ il signore principe_ at home?"
43827	He followed after her:"Cornélie,"he began,"is n''t what you are doing rather strange?
43827	He heard nothing, but perhaps Van der Staal was asleep?...
43827	He knows me, do n''t you, Gaetano?"
43827	He laughed:"You can look just as angry as ever.... Tell me, do you ever hear from the old people?
43827	He looked at her in surprise:"Why should I be reticent about myself?"
43827	He looked at her profoundly, with his carbuncle eyes:"So you are in favour of free love?"
43827	He looked up in surprise:"What for?"
43827	He made a satirical bow:"A delightful evening, is n''t it?
43827	He nibbled at them:"Are you so serious?
43827	He pressed her to him till he almost stifled her with the pressure of his arms:"Tell me, do you belong to me?"
43827	He saw that she was pale and trembling all over her body:"What''s the matter?"
43827	He wanted to give me two hundred lire....""You refused, surely?"
43827	He was seething with rage, but he remained very polite and outwardly calm:"Is the important matter settled?"
43827	Her article was accepted; but was the judgement of the editress to be trusted?
43827	Her coolness calmed Urania, who asked:"And do we remain good friends?"
43827	Her drawing- room education passed before her once more, followed by her marriage, by her divorce.... What was the impulse?
43827	How can you accept presents from him and invitations?
43827	How can you ask me, darling?
43827	How can you have been so weak and so terrified?
43827	How dejected and moody he was I But then why would he venture on those silly enterprises?...
43827	How did she come to suspect that Urania''s marriage and her conversion had enriched the marchesa to the tune of a few ten thousand lire?
43827	How did that woman know_ anything_ of her transactions with the old prince and the_ monsignori_?
43827	How do you know?
43827	How do you like this?"
43827	How had the American girl picked up this talent for filling her new and exalted position so worthily?
43827	How is Urania?"
43827	How were you living there?"
43827	How would she be able to get away?
43827	How_ do_ you know?
43827	I am glad to see you again, very glad.... And what do you think of your friend''s marriage?"
43827	I am sitting with Van der Staal....""At this hour?"
43827	I believe that Rome can be dangerous and that an hotel- keeping marchesa, a prince and a Jesuit....""What about them?"
43827	I believe....""What?"
43827	I can no longer do without you.... Do you remember our first walks and talks in the Borghese and on the Palatine?
43827	I do n''t understand you.... May I speak frankly?
43827	I hope that I am not disturbing you with my unexpected company?"
43827	I hope that you soon disposed of my rooms again, marchesa, and that you suffered no loss through my departure?"
43827	I love you... but I am his wife....""Are you forgetting what you were to me in Rome?..."
43827	I told you once before what Gilio said... that there were no family- jewels, that they were all sold: you remember, do n''t you?
43827	I wrote to you, you know: that first meeting at the ball; it was so strange; I felt that....""That what?"
43827	I''ll tell Rudyard.... How much?"
43827	I''m going to cry.... Why did you speak to me, why did you speak to me, why did you come here, where you knew that you would meet me?"
43827	In a week?
43827	In some cases a woman is unfaithful to all her ideas in a single second.... Then what_ is_ it?..."
43827	In the nearly dark street she saw Rudyard and the young Baronesse, almost whispering and mysteriously intimate:"And does your daughter think so too?"
43827	In what way?
43827	Is it exaggerated?
43827	Is n''t it too hot for walking?"
43827	Is n''t she beautiful?
43827	Is n''t she lovely?
43827	Is she herself in Italy to hunt for a title?"
43827	Is there any merit in my little book?"
43827	Is there any occasion for us to quarrel?
43827	Is there no way out of it?
43827	It seemed as though he were willing her not to be ill. She murmured:"Urania, may I introduce... a fellow- country- man?...
43827	It was certainly not good form; but was it not weariness brought about by the wear and tear of life?
43827	La Belloni grumbled a bit, went down the corridor and opened the door of another room:"And this one, signora?...
43827	Let him marry Miss Hope: what do you care about either of them?
43827	Let them live in the vanity of their titles and money: what is it all to you?
43827	Love, no, it was not love; but had she ever thought of love as she now sometimes pictured it?
43827	Mamma, do you think about your line?
43827	May I give you two hundred lire?
43827	May I show you round?
43827	May I?
43827	Moan and groan about it?"
43827	Nor Mrs. von Rothkirch?"
43827	Now is_ that_ like a compliment?"
43827	Now that I have the chance, may I see them?"
43827	O God, what was she to do?
43827	Of my soul, my inner self?
43827	Or do you?
43827	Or have you been spoilt by your luxury at Nice?
43827	Or was he, as a man who was not modern, indifferent to it even as she, a modern woman, was?
43827	Or was it merely the artistic side of him?
43827	Our life has a line, a path, which it must follow...."To be modern: was that not a line?
43827	Passion lasts too short a time to fill a married life.... Mutual esteem to follow,_ etcetera_?
43827	Peace?"
43827	Perhaps....""Perhaps what?"
43827	Shall I go back to him this afternoon?"
43827	Shall I marry her?"
43827	Shall I speak to you seriously?"
43827	Shall we go back to Rome to- morrow, or shall we remain here a little first?
43827	Shall we sit down?
43827	She asked him to tell her about his grandmothers, who used to wear the lace: had they had any adventures?
43827	She asked, in a whisper, were they not going to get married?
43827	She began to cry on his shoulder:"I feel....""What?"
43827	She could not tell Duco that she was going.... She had meant to slip quietly to the station, when he was out.... Or had she better tell him?...
43827	She did not understand what he said:"Where are the others?"
43827	She examined them and scattered them abroad:"Afraid?"
43827	She felt that he had something on his mind:"What is it?"
43827	She had no religion and no morals?
43827	She laughed gaily:"You would never have believed it, would you?"
43827	She laughed:"Well, shall I be nice to you?"
43827	She laughed:"What?"
43827	She laughed:"With a kiss?"
43827	She looked at Duco with a triumphant smile, amused at his confusion:"Will you come, too?"
43827	She looked at him for some time before answering:"Shall I be candid with you?"
43827	She looked at him in dismay, startled out of her blissfulness:"Why?"
43827	She looked at him, for the first time, attentively:"You''re an archæologist?"
43827	She looked into the glass:"Have you your powder on you?"
43827	She lost her temper:"Do you intend to behave like a gentleman or like a cad?"
43827	She made a jesting reply, and he asked if he was disturbing her:"Perhaps you were writing an interesting letter to some one near your heart?"
43827	She smiled and shrugged her shoulders:"What would you have me do?
43827	She threw her arms about him, she hid herself like a child in his breast:"It''s so strange.... You know me, do n''t you?
43827	She took him into the passage and into an empty room:"Well what is it?"
43827	She wanted to repeat some of her phrases, but thought to herself, why?
43827	Should I be any the happier?
43827	Should I feel satisfied in having done something?
43827	Should she show Duco the letter or keep it from him?
43827	So it was only their happiness and friendship, she whispered, as though frightened, and without the sanction of society?
43827	So keep on friendly terms with me and do n''t pretend again to forget an old boarder.... Is this the Princess Urania''s room?
43827	Socialism?
43827	Strange, is n''t it, when one''s abroad like this and has one''s first talk at a_ table- d''hôte_, over a skinny chicken?
43827	Strive?
43827	Tell me, Duco, are you going to work again?
43827	Tell me, I suppose you consider me morbid?"
43827	Tell me, does the prince think of... marrying you?"
43827	Tell me, how am I to tell Urania?
43827	Tell me, may n''t I hope?"
43827	Tell me, what do you know about my father and the marchesa?"
43827	Temperament?
43827	Ten millions?
43827	Ten millions?
43827	The cabmen outside cracked their whips:"_ Vole?
43827	The difficulty was what to wear at the audience: black, of course, but... velvet, satin?
43827	The feminist movement, Italy, Duco.... Was it a dream?
43827	The feminist movement?
43827	The marchesa looked at her haughtily, white with rage:"Lucrative?..."
43827	The peasant entered into conversation with Cornélie, asked if she was a foreigner: English, no doubt?
43827	Their three or four acquaintances at Belloni''s?
43827	Then he asked:"Tell me, what do you really think, inside yourself?"
43827	Then why do you cross their lives?
43827	Tiberius was a bad emperor, was n''t he?"
43827	To find the solution of a modern problem: was that not an aim in life?
43827	To what length?"
43827	To whom ought she to apply?
43827	Unless I take that doom on my own shoulders....""I suppose the fidelity of the husbands is not mentioned in this family tradition?"
43827	Unworthy?"
43827	Urania took her hand:"Which would you prefer, that I accepted Gilio... or not?"
43827	Uxeley?"
43827	Uxeley?"
43827	Vole?_"they shouted.
43827	Was Gilio kind?
43827	Was it all true, their happiness, their love and harmony?
43827	Was it because of Duco''s jealousy?
43827	Was she a woman, or was she ten women?
43827	Was she divorced or was she not?
43827	Was she in love with him?
43827	Was she the devil?
43827	Was she to ask him for it?
43827	Was that not what she had to live for?
43827	Was that woman a witch?
43827	Was the great happiness, the delightful harmony, a dream, and was she waking after a year of dreams?
43827	Were n''t you able to come to London?"
43827	What about?"
43827	What aim?
43827	What am I myself, that I should reproach you with your uselessness?"
43827	What am I to do, Cornélie?
43827	What am I to do?
43827	What are we to do?"
43827	What are you thinking of?"
43827	What can I do for you?
43827	What can he be to you, a coxcomb like that?
43827	What could it be?
43827	What could she do?
43827	What did Cornélie advise her?
43827	What did he mean by it, what did he want?...
43827	What did she care, when all was said?
43827	What did she mean by it?
43827	What do I care?
43827	What do I care?..."
43827	What do inferior people matter to you, Cornélie?
43827	What do you mean, prince, what are you suggesting?"
43827	What do you think of Praxiteles''_ Eros_?
43827	What does he do?"
43827	What else?
43827	What good does it do you?
43827	What have I in my life?
43827	What if he compels you to be his mistress?"
43827	What if he does n''t respect you this evening as his future wife?
43827	What impulse in their lives had prompted them to join in the struggle for women''s rights?
43827	What is he?
43827	What is it to be?"
43827	What objection can you have to my meeting Van der Staal here in the evening?
43827	What part can he play in your life?
43827	What time is the train?"
43827	What use to her was such a life-- socially dependent, though financially independent-- without Duco?
43827	What was happening to Cornélie?
43827	What was it that he asked?
43827	What was she as a living woman of flesh and blood?
43827	What was the inducement?...
43827	What was the law?
43827	What was there about that woman?
43827	When shall I see you again?"
43827	When she left the house that morning, she went straight to the Palazzo Ruspoli:"Has his excellency gone?"
43827	Where else did she go?
43827	Where had she acquired her powers of assimilation?
43827	Where had she got that tact from, that dignified, serious attitude towards that imposing janitor, with his long cane and his cocked hat?
43827	Where had the child learnt that?
43827	Where shall we find Mrs. Uxeley?
43827	Where was the logic in that title which, by the law, was hers no longer?
43827	Which is it, dollars or lire?"
43827	Which room shall we go to?...
43827	Which would be the least painful?...
43827	Who is there that is fond of me?
43827	Who knew her besides?
43827	Whore did she get this love for San Stefano, this love for its poor?
43827	Why are you ashamed?"
43827	Why could n''t the marchesa engage a couple of strong young maids and waiters instead of all those old women and little boys?
43827	Why did he call her by it now?
43827	Why did you come?"
43827	Why did you compel me to come yesterday?
43827	Why did you never come to see us at Nice, as Urania asked you to?"
43827	Why did you not say that you loved me?
43827	Why did you not tell him calmly that he ca n''t claim any rights in you?
43827	Why did you strike him?"
43827	Why do they cross our lines with their petty movements and why are ours never crossed by those which perhaps would be dearest to our souls?..."
43827	Why do you flirt with him?
43827	Why do you make yourself conspicuous with him, as you did yesterday, in a restaurant full of people?"
43827	Why does n''t she make a novel of it?
43827	Why generalize from one''s personal sorrows and why that bitter, warning voice?...
43827	Why had he asked her to go with him?
43827	Why had he done it, why had he pursued her after seeing her once at Nice?
43827	Why had it all been necessary?
43827	Why have n''t you been working?
43827	Why need we get married?
43827	Why not ask us for money?"
43827	Why not be on my side, like a dear friend?"
43827	Why should I make a fuss about it?
43827	Why should I not accept them?
43827	Why should n''t you be too?
43827	Why should she care about the Hague?
43827	Why should she refuse?
43827	Why should she run away to Duco and make herself ridiculous in the eyes of all their acquaintances?
43827	Why should they curl back, forcing her backwards to her original starting- point?
43827	Why should they not be together here?
43827	Why should you want to pester me like this?"
43827	Why, in Heaven''s name, should we, Duco?
43827	Why, so soon as she crossed one of these intersections, did she feel, as though by instinct, that honesty was not always wise?
43827	Why... why had he not gone alone?
43827	Why?
43827	Why?
43827	Will you come with me one day?"
43827	Women''s lines... but had not every woman a line of her own?
43827	Work?
43827	Would Cornélie care to try it?
43827	Would he come soon?
43827	Would he never understand her, would he never grasp anything or know anything for certain of that changeful and intangible vagueness of hers?
43827	Would it be in the evening or quite early in the morning?
43827	Would you care to see it?"
43827	Would you like to live in Paris?"
43827	Would you like to sit next to them at table?"
43827	Write?
43827	You are Dutch, are you not?
43827	You do n''t imagine, do you, that your father has any objection to your becoming Duchess di San Stefano?"
43827	You know how fond I am of you: why should n''t I confess it?
43827	You think-- and the marchesa probably thinks with you-- that I want to take Gilio from you?
43827	You were one of the leaders of the Women''s Congress in London, were you not?"
43827	You will not understand it perhaps, for I do n''t think you are artistic, marchesa?
43827	You''re impatient?
43827	You''re waiting for an answer from Chicago?
43827	[ 1] They look rather dilapidated, do n''t they?
43827	bread?"
43827	cultivated?"
43005	A fellow- countryman, Cornélie?
43005	A friend? 43005 A poet?"
43005	A story?
43005	An article? 43005 And am I not a shadow?"
43005	And amusing?
43005	And are n''t you?
43005	And as regards Urania?
43005	And do n''t you intend to see the ruins?
43005	And does your daughter think so too?
43005	And how do you manage here, with this old hag?
43005	And promise to help you?
43005	And shall we have a talk now?
43005	And the divorced Dutchwoman?
43005	And the young baroness?
43005	And those two very attractive Dutch girls?
43005	And what are you doing here, at this hour?
43005	And what does Mr. van der Staal think of it?
43005	And when were you to go to the prince?
43005	And who besides?
43005	And you think that I ought not to sell myself?
43005	And you, has our religion no charm for you?
43005	And your father? 43005 And...?"
43005	Are n''t you tired? 43005 Are n''t you well?"
43005	Are there many titled people in the house?
43005	Are they urgent?
43005	Are we enemies then, for good?
43005	Are you a Catholic?
43005	Are you angry?
43005	Are you dining at home?
43005	Are you feeling better?
43005	Are you fond of Mr. van der Staal?
43005	Are you going to marry him, Cornélie?
43005	Are you really my friend? 43005 Are you still tired?"
43005	Are you tired?
43005	As I might buy a new coat or a new bicycle?
43005	As strangers?
43005	At the Hague?
43005	Because of the world? 43005 Bread?"
43005	But how?
43005	But is this a thing to fight against? 43005 But perhaps we both wish to go to the same length?"
43005	But then why did you come to Rome?
43005	But what do you do then?
43005	But what does that matter to me? 43005 But what then, my darling?
43005	But who''s going to lead my cotillon presently?
43005	But why did n''t you write to us? 43005 But why?"
43005	But you are studying, are n''t you?
43005	But you despise me, because you consider me a useless creature, an æsthete and a dreamer?
43005	But you nearly ruined your career for the sake of that pattern?
43005	By Rudyard?
43005	By the right of the man, of the strongest?
43005	Can I say good- bye to Prince Ercole? 43005 Can you manage it?"
43005	Care to stay here?
43005	Cornélie, had n''t we better lunch at the osteria?
43005	Did you?
43005	Do n''t you appreciate the beauties of nature?
43005	Do n''t you dream of yourself?
43005	Do n''t you feel Rome here?
43005	Do n''t you know what Rudyard is?
43005	Do n''t you like meeting and studying people?
43005	Do n''t you ride?
43005	Do n''t you think it''s fun to meet your old husband again?
43005	Do they just accept you here, at Nice?
43005	Do you agree?
43005	Do you do all this?
43005	Do you doubt it?
43005	Do you feel all right?
43005	Do you like going about, as your sisters do?
43005	Do you mean it?
43005	Do you never doubt? 43005 Do you never think about modern problems?"
43005	Do you only love one then?
43005	Do you paint?
43005	Do you promise me?
43005	Do you read much?
43005	Do you really mean that? 43005 Do you talk to every one so intimately?"
43005	Do you think it''s discreet on your part... or delicate?
43005	Do you think that a good mode of existence?
43005	Do you understand that? 43005 Do you write?"
43005	Dutch?
43005	Enemies then?
43005	For how much are you selling yourself to Urania? 43005 French, German, English, American?"
43005	Have you any knowledge of human nature?
43005	Have you been sight- seeing again?
43005	Have you breakfasted?
43005	Have you done so already?
43005	Have you ever been in love?
43005	Have you ever felt hungry?
43005	Have you ever suffered?
43005	Have you given Miss Hope something too?
43005	He has narrow- minded notions: how can you want to get married for the sake of a world and people like San Stefano and the prince?
43005	He''s in the army, a first lieutenant...."In which regiment?
43005	How can I extinguish that burning?
43005	How can you admire an age of emperors who were brutes and mad?
43005	How can you ask me such a question? 43005 How did you sleep, prince?"
43005	How do you come to speak to me so openly?
43005	How do you know?
43005	How do you mean?
43005	How do you mean?
43005	How do you mean?
43005	How does Van der Staal take it?
43005	How is it possible that you do n''t see the present before you, with the problems of our own time, especially the eternal problem of poverty?
43005	How is that possible? 43005 How so?"
43005	I am unworthy, am I, and petty and rude and not a man and my temperament does n''t suit you? 43005 I do n''t know....""In Italy?"
43005	I thought you were not religious?
43005	I? 43005 I?"
43005	In the Grand- Hôtel?
43005	In what respect?
43005	Is it south?
43005	Is it true, what they say at the Hague? 43005 Is n''t Urania angry?"
43005	Is she a noblewoman?
43005	Is she jealous?
43005	Is that courteous, towards a woman?
43005	Is the prince back then?
43005	Jealous?... 43005 La Belloni?"
43005	May I come with you? 43005 May I give you something?"
43005	May I speak to Miss Hope alone for a moment?
43005	May I walk with you?
43005	Me?
43005	Mrs. Uxeley, is everything going as it should?
43005	Mrs. Uxeley,Cornélie began, in a trembling voice,"may I introduce a fellow- countryman of mine?
43005	My dear child, why are you upsetting yourself like this? 43005 Nor the fair Urania either?
43005	Not free?
43005	Not from Urania?
43005	Not from me?
43005	Not the length to which I wish?
43005	Of what?
43005	Oh, well, we''re not strangers: we even know each other uncommonly intimately, eh?... 43005 Only what?"
43005	Perhaps you would like to hit me and knock me about?
43005	Perhaps you write too?
43005	Prince Ercole, surely?
43005	Prince,she said, persuasively,"why all this anger and passion and exasperation?
43005	Proofs?
43005	Shall I marry her?
43005	She must be angry with me, is n''t she?
43005	Should I have bowed to you, do you think?
43005	So I am not cultivated?
43005	So it''s a struggle for life and death?
43005	So serious?
43005	So there''s no one except the stocking- merchant?
43005	So you are my enemy?
43005	Suffered? 43005 Tell me, what do you advise me to do?"
43005	Tell me; do you still love him?
43005	That German lady?
43005	The curtains?
43005	The woman question? 43005 Then why did you do it?"
43005	Then why do n''t you adopt another?
43005	To- morrow evening? 43005 Too proud?"
43005	Until to- morrow then, at half- past eight?
43005	Unworthy? 43005 Urania''s a bore.... Tell me, what do you advise me to do?
43005	Urania?
43005	We must get married at once?
43005	We ought never to have got divorced, ought we?
43005	Well?
43005	What about the cotillon?
43005	What about?
43005	What am I doing? 43005 What am I suggesting?
43005	What are you, then?
43005	What can I do, if you thwart me? 43005 What can he be?"
43005	What can you have to say to me?
43005	What do you care about the opinion of''small, insignificant people, who chance to cross your path,''as you yourself say?
43005	What do you know about it? 43005 What do you know about my temperament?"
43005	What do you know about them?
43005	What do you mean?
43005	What do you mean?
43005	What do you say his name is?
43005	What do you see in him?
43005	What do you want to speak to me about?
43005	What has happened?
43005	What if we were alone? 43005 What is he?"
43005	What is it, Cornélie?
43005	What is it, Cornélie?
43005	What is it?
43005	What is it?
43005	What is it?
43005	What is the Signora de Retz doing?
43005	What is there in it? 43005 What shall I order for you?"
43005	What shall I tell him?
43005	What then, dearest?
43005	What used you to say to me in the old days, when you were in love with me?
43005	What used you to say?
43005	What will you have?
43005	What?
43005	What?
43005	What?
43005	Where are you going?
43005	Where are you going?
43005	Where are you going?
43005	Where are you going?
43005	Where is Van der Staal?
43005	Where would you like to live?
43005	Where?
43005	Which Rome?
43005	Which career?
43005	Who is he?
43005	Why are you so vexed with me?
43005	Why ca n''t we be just good friends?
43005	Why did n''t you go to London, or Manchester, or one of those black manufacturing towns?
43005	Why did she object?
43005	Why did you run away from me?
43005	Why do you monopolize Gilio? 43005 Why does she put herself between me and the American stocking- seller?
43005	Why is n''t he here?
43005	Why may n''t I tell you so? 43005 Why mistaken?"
43005	Why not you and I alone?
43005	Why not? 43005 Why not?"
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why not?
43005	Why should I tell you about it?
43005	Why wo n''t you?
43005	Why? 43005 Why?"
43005	Why?
43005	Why?
43005	Why?
43005	Will you allow me to tell you something?
43005	Will you never forget that act of self- defence?
43005	Will you take me?
43005	With a kiss?
43005	Wo n''t it soon be time for the pavane?
43005	Would you like to rest a little?
43005	Yes, yes, what do you think?
43005	You admit that?
43005	You are Dutch?
43005	You have n''t forgotten me altogether?
43005	You have never been to San Stefano before? 43005 You knew, did you not-- I even now do n''t know how-- you knew for how many millions I sold myself?
43005	You surely do n''t think that you can compel me?
43005	You''re an archæologist?
43005	You''re looking at the major- domo?
43005	A copy of the code lay on her table, a survival of the days of her divorce; but had she understood the law correctly?
43005	A delightful town, is n''t it?
43005	A friend of the Princess Urania, I believe?
43005	About Van der Staal?"
43005	Am I bound to fight against it?
43005	And did not nearly everybody live more or less so- so, with a good deal of give and take?
43005	And had n''t Aunt Lucia warned him lately that she was a dangerous woman, an uncanny woman, a woman of the devil?
43005	And had n''t he waited an hour, two hours, without sleeping, until he saw them come back and lock the door after them?
43005	And he begged Urania not to give him away: it might injure him in his career--"What career?"
43005	And is everything as it used to be, in your cosy studio?
43005	And she asked the postman, nervously:"Can you send off a telegram for me at once?"
43005	And the marchesa?"
43005	And then what would she have left?
43005	And then, she asked Mrs. van der Staal, who were"people?"
43005	And then...""Yes?"
43005	And was she really no longer his wife?
43005	And what about yourself?
43005	And what had Gilio said when she once complained of her grievance to him?
43005	And where?"
43005	And why did she love only him, that painter?
43005	And why did she not speak of Virgilio''s bracelet to Duco?
43005	And will you ask Mr. van der Staal also to give me the pleasure of his company?"
43005	And with a natural gesture he spread out his arms:"May I thank you, Cornélie?"
43005	And you...""And I?"
43005	And, as for unhappiness,"he continued, pulling a tragic face,"what do I care?
43005	And, in her own case, what was the impulse?...
43005	And... will you come to San Stefano?"
43005	Are we good friends, you and I?
43005	Are you coming for a little walk with me?
43005	Are you drinking Rome in with your very breath?"
43005	Are you happy?
43005	Are you one?"
43005	Are you seeing me home?"
43005	Are you thinking seriously of marrying her?"
43005	Are you very hungry?"
43005	Are you working on another pamphlet now?"
43005	Because Gilio was rude and Urania prim?...
43005	Because I have a few modern ideas and a few others which are broader- minded than those of most women?
43005	Because of people?"
43005	But can you understand now that il povero Gilio is poorer than he was before he acquired shares in a Chicago stocking- factory?"
43005	But first tell me, how shall I tell Urania?"
43005	But how was she to strive, how to work, how to work for their lives and their bread?
43005	But how, abroad?
43005	But how?
43005	But now it ca n''t be done, really not....""Do n''t you love me well enough?"
43005	But oh, how was she to tell Duco?
43005	But she did like Gilio a little now, did n''t she?
43005	But then why would he venture on those silly enterprises?...
43005	But then?
43005	But was she divorced, was everything over between them?
43005	But we are in a foreign country....""What difference does that make?"
43005	But what could she have done for her family- circle, after the scandal of her divorce?
43005	But what then?
43005	But why did he excite himself?
43005	But why did she not speak of Gilio''s bracelet?...
43005	But why do you want me to tell you about him?"
43005	But why may I not sometimes be cheerful?
43005	But would the majority not always remain feminine, just women and weak?"
43005	But you would n''t care to go, would you?"
43005	Buy me those violets, will you?"
43005	CHAPTER XI"What do those strangers matter to you?"
43005	Ca n''t we do that as strangers?"
43005	Can I trust you?
43005	Can I trust your advice?"
43005	Come and look at your sketches: will you be starting work soon?
43005	Cornélie raised her eyebrows:"What do you mean?"
43005	Cornélie rose:"May I give you a glass out of my bottle?"
43005	Cornélie was startled:"A joke, you think, Mr. van der Staal?"
43005	Cornélie, will you be my wife?"
43005	Could n''t you help me too some time, marchesa?
43005	Could she not have managed him, with a little tact and patience?
43005	Cut him.... That dinner, last night, was a torture to me....""My poor boy,"she said, gently, filling his glass from their fiasco,"but why?"
43005	Did I hit hard?"
43005	Did she mind?
43005	Did you like Rome?"
43005	Did you think him absurd?"
43005	Do n''t forget me; and write, wo n''t you?...
43005	Do n''t you know whom I mean?
43005	Do n''t you see how you''re upsetting me?
43005	Do n''t you see that I sometimes feel as if I could cry?
43005	Do n''t you see that it ca n''t be done?
43005	Do n''t you think it dreadful, that we no longer have it?"
43005	Do n''t you think you ought to go home a little earlier to- night?"
43005	Do n''t you understand?
43005	Do you believe me?"
43005	Do you belong to me, tell me, do you belong to me?"
43005	Do you feel sure of your ideas on the training of children?"
43005	Do you forgive me?
43005	Do you hear?
43005	Do you know everything?"
43005	Do you know that you''re a very lovely woman?
43005	Do you know what I''ve got?
43005	Do you know whom I met?"
43005	Do you know whom I think the most to be pitied?
43005	Do you no longer care a straw for the whole boiling of them?"
43005	Do you promise to improve?"
43005	Do you refuse?
43005	Do you remember when...?"
43005	Do you see it before you?
43005	Do you see that little mythological scene up there, by Giulio Romano?
43005	Do you still propose to speak to Mrs. Uxeley?
43005	Do you understand that I do n''t flirt and fence with you?
43005	Do you understand that?
43005	Do you, girls?"
43005	Dollars?
43005	Duco, am I wicked?"
43005	Duco, does n''t the pergola remind you of a classic ode?
43005	Facts are facts.... Will you show me the door now?
43005	Five millions?
43005	Five millions?
43005	For not less than ten millions?"
43005	Had he not always wanted to marry her?
43005	Had she the mal''occhio?
43005	Had the law taught her womanhood or had he?
43005	Had the old woman never heard my name, or has she forgotten it?
43005	Has the hairdresser brought the wigs for the young men?"
43005	Have you always been?
43005	Have you lost your sense of humour?
43005	Have you seen our Mantegnas?
43005	He became nervous, made another attempt to restrain her; but she had already asked the porter:"Is il signore principe at home?"
43005	He bought her the bunch of violets:"You''re crazy over violets, are n''t you?"
43005	He followed after her:"Cornélie,"he began,"is n''t what you are doing rather strange?
43005	He heard nothing, but perhaps Van der Staal was asleep?...
43005	He knows me, do n''t you, Gaetano?"
43005	He laughed:"You can look just as angry as ever.... Tell me, do you ever hear from the old people?
43005	He looked at her in surprise:"Why should I be reticent about myself?"
43005	He looked at her profoundly, with his carbuncle eyes:"So you are in favour of free love?"
43005	He looked up in surprise:"What for?"
43005	He made a satirical bow:"A delightful evening, is n''t it?
43005	He nibbled at them:"Are you so serious?
43005	He pressed her to him till he almost stifled her with the pressure of his arms:"Tell me, do you belong to me?"
43005	He saw that she was pale and trembling all over her body:"What''s the matter?"
43005	He wanted to give me two hundred lire....""You refused, surely?"
43005	He was seething with rage, but he remained very polite and outwardly calm:"Is the important matter settled?"
43005	Her article was accepted; but was the judgement of the editress to be trusted?
43005	Her coolness calmed Urania, who asked:"And do we remain good friends?"
43005	Her drawing- room education passed before her once more, followed by her marriage, by her divorce.... What was the impulse?
43005	How can you accept presents from him and invitations?
43005	How can you ask me, darling?
43005	How can you have been so weak and so terrified?
43005	How did she come to suspect that Urania''s marriage and her conversion had enriched the marchesa to the tune of a few ten thousand lire?
43005	How did that woman know anything of her transactions with the old prince and the monsignori?
43005	How do you know?
43005	How do you know?
43005	How do you like this?"
43005	How had the American girl picked up this talent for filling her new and exalted position so worthily?
43005	How is Urania?"
43005	How were you living there?"
43005	How would she be able to get away?
43005	I am glad to see you again, very glad.... And what do you think of your friend''s marriage?"
43005	I am sitting with Van der Staal....""At this hour?"
43005	I believe that Rome can be dangerous and that an hotel- keeping marchesa, a prince and a Jesuit....""What about them?"
43005	I believe....""What?"
43005	I can no longer do without you.... Do you remember our first walks and talks in the Borghese and on the Palatine?
43005	I do n''t understand you.... May I speak frankly?
43005	I hope that I am not disturbing you with my unexpected company?"
43005	I hope that you soon disposed of my rooms again, marchesa, and that you suffered no loss through my departure?"
43005	I love you... but I am his wife....""Are you forgetting what you were to me in Rome?..."
43005	I told you once before what Gilio said... that there were no family- jewels, that they were all sold: you remember, do n''t you?
43005	I wrote to you, you know: that first meeting at the ball; it was so strange; I felt that...""That what?"
43005	I''ll tell Rudyard so.... How much?"
43005	I''m going to cry.... Why did you speak to me, why did you speak to me, why did you come here, where you knew that you would meet me?"
43005	In a week?
43005	In some cases a woman is unfaithful to all her ideas in a single second.... Then what is it?..."
43005	In what way?
43005	Is it exaggerated?
43005	Is n''t it too hot for walking?"
43005	Is n''t she beautiful?
43005	Is n''t she lovely?
43005	Is she herself in Italy hunting for a title?"
43005	Is there any merit in my little book?"
43005	Is there any occasion for us to quarrel?
43005	Is there no way out of it?
43005	It seemed as though he were willing her not to be ill. She murmured:"Urania, may I introduce... a fellow- countryman?...
43005	It was certainly not good form; but was it not weariness brought about by the wear and tear of life?
43005	La Belloni grumbled a bit, went down the corridor and opened the door of another room:"And this one, signora?...
43005	Let him marry Miss Hope: what do you care about either of them?
43005	Let them live in the vanity of their titles and money: what is it all to you?
43005	Love, no, it was not love; but had she ever thought of love as she now sometimes pictured it?
43005	Mamma, do you think about your line?
43005	May I give you two hundred lire?
43005	May I show you round?
43005	May I?
43005	Moan and groan about it?"
43005	Nor Mrs. von Rothkirch?"
43005	Now is that like a compliment?"
43005	Now that I have the chance, may I see them?"
43005	O God, what was she to do?
43005	Of my soul, my inner self?
43005	Or do you?
43005	Or have you been spoilt by your luxury at Nice?
43005	Or was he, as a man who was not modern, indifferent to it even as she, a modern woman, was?
43005	Or was it merely the artistic side in him?
43005	Our life has a line, a path, which it must follow...."To be modern: was that not a line?
43005	Passion lasts too short a time to fill a married life.... Mutual esteem to follow, etcetera?
43005	Peace?"
43005	Perhaps....""Perhaps what?"
43005	Shall I go back to him this afternoon?"
43005	Shall I marry her?"
43005	Shall I speak to you seriously?"
43005	Shall we go back to Rome to- morrow or shall we remain here a little first?
43005	Shall we sit down?
43005	She asked him to tell her about his grandmothers, who used to wear the lace: had they had any adventures?
43005	She asked, in a whisper, were they not going to get married?
43005	She began to cry on his shoulder:"I feel....""What?"
43005	She could not tell Duco that she was going.... She had meant to slip quietly to the station, when he was out.... Or had she better tell him?...
43005	She did not understand what he said:"Where are the others?"
43005	She examined them and scattered them abroad:"Afraid?"
43005	She felt that he had something on his mind:"What is it?"
43005	She laughed gaily:"You would never have believed it, would you?"
43005	She laughed:"Well, shall I be nice to you?"
43005	She laughed:"What?"
43005	She laughed:"With a kiss?"
43005	She looked at Duco with a triumphant smile, amused at his confusion:"Will you come too?"
43005	She looked at him for some time before answering:"Shall I be candid with you?"
43005	She looked at him in dismay, startled out of her blissfulness:"Why?"
43005	She looked into the glass:"Have you your powder on you?"
43005	She lost her temper:"Do you intend to behave like a gentleman or like a cad?"
43005	She made a jesting reply; and he asked if he was disturbing her:"Perhaps you were writing an interesting letter to some one near your heart?"
43005	She smiled and shrugged her shoulders:"What would you have me do?
43005	She threw her arms about him, she hid herself like a child in his breast:"It is so strange.... You know me, do n''t you?
43005	She took him into the passage and into an empty room:"Well what is it?"
43005	She wanted to repeat some of her phrases, but thought to herself, why?
43005	Should I be any the happier?
43005	Should I feel satisfied in having done something?
43005	Should she show Duco the letter or keep it from him?
43005	So it was only their happiness and friendship, she whispered, as though frightened, and without the sanction of society?
43005	So keep on friendly terms with me and do n''t pretend again to forget an old boarder.... Is this the Princess Urania''s room?
43005	Socialism?
43005	Strange, is n''t it, when one''s abroad like this and has one''s first talk at a table- d''hôte, over a skinny chicken?
43005	Strive?
43005	Tell me, Duco, are you going to work again?
43005	Tell me, I suppose you consider me morbid?"
43005	Tell me, does the prince think of... marrying you?"
43005	Tell me, how am I to tell Urania?
43005	Tell me, may n''t I hope?"
43005	Tell me, what do you know about my father and the marchesa?"
43005	Temperament?
43005	Ten millions?
43005	Ten millions?
43005	The cabmen outside cracked their whips:"Vole?
43005	The difficulty was what to wear at the audience: black, of course, but... velvet, satin?
43005	The feminist movement, Italy, Duco.... Was it a dream?
43005	The feminist movement?
43005	The lines of the women... but had not every woman a line of her own?
43005	The marchesa looked at her haughtily, white with rage:"Lucrative?..."
43005	The peasant entered into conversation with Cornélie, asked if she was a foreigner: English, no doubt?
43005	Their three or four acquaintances at Belloni''s?
43005	Then he asked:"Tell me, what do you really think, inside yourself?"
43005	Then why do you cross their lives?
43005	Tiberius was a bad emperor, was n''t he?"
43005	To find the solution of a modern problem: was that not an aim in life?
43005	To what length?"
43005	To whom ought she to apply?
43005	Unless I take that doom on my own shoulders....""I suppose the fidelity of the husbands is not mentioned in this family tradition?"
43005	Unworthy?"
43005	Urania took her hand:"Which would you prefer, that I accepted Gilio... or not?"
43005	Uxeley?"
43005	Uxeley?"
43005	Vole?"
43005	Was Gilio kind?
43005	Was it all true, their happiness, their love and harmony?
43005	Was it because of Duco''s jealousy?
43005	Was she a woman, or was she ten women?
43005	Was she divorced or was she not?
43005	Was she in love with him?
43005	Was she the devil?
43005	Was she to ask him for it?
43005	Was that not what she had to live for?
43005	Was that woman a witch?
43005	Was the great happiness, the delightful harmony, a dream and was she awaking after a year of dreams?
43005	Were n''t you able to come to London?"
43005	What about?"
43005	What aim?
43005	What am I myself, that I should reproach you with your uselessness?"
43005	What am I to do, Cornélie?
43005	What am I to do?
43005	What are we to do?"
43005	What are you thinking of?"
43005	What can I do for you?
43005	What can he be to you, a coxcomb like that?
43005	What could it be?
43005	What could she do?
43005	What did Cornélie advise her?
43005	What did he mean by it, what did he want?...
43005	What did she care, when all was said?
43005	What did she mean by it?
43005	What do I care?
43005	What do I care?..."
43005	What do inferior people matter to you, Cornélie?
43005	What do you mean, prince, what are you suggesting?"
43005	What do you think of Praxiteles''Eros?
43005	What does he do?"
43005	What else?
43005	What good does it do you?
43005	What have I in my life?
43005	What if he compels you to be his mistress?"
43005	What if he does n''t respect you this evening as his future wife?
43005	What impulse in their lives had prompted them to join in the struggle for women''s rights?
43005	What is he?
43005	What is it to be?"
43005	What objection can you have to my meeting Van der Staal here in the evening?
43005	What part can he play in your life?
43005	What time is the train?"
43005	What use to her was such a life-- socially dependent, though financially independent-- without Duco?
43005	What was happening to Cornélie?
43005	What was it that he asked?
43005	What was she as a living woman of flesh and blood?
43005	What was the inducement?...
43005	What was the law?
43005	What was there about that woman?
43005	When shall I see you again?"
43005	When she left the house that morning, she went straight to the Palazzo Ruspoli:"Has his excellency gone?"
43005	Where did she get this love for San Stefano, this love for its poor?
43005	Where else did she go?
43005	Where had she acquired her powers of assimilation?
43005	Where had she got that tact from, that dignified, serious attitude towards that imposing janitor, with his long cane and his cocked hat?
43005	Where had the child learnt that?
43005	Where shall we find Mrs. Uxeley?
43005	Where was the logic in that title which, by the law, was hers no longer?
43005	Which is it, dollars or lire?"
43005	Which room shall we go to?...
43005	Which would be the least painful?...
43005	Who is there that is fond of me?
43005	Who knew her besides?
43005	Why are you ashamed?"
43005	Why could n''t the marchesa engage a couple of strong young maids and waiters instead of all those old women and little boys?
43005	Why did he call her by it now?
43005	Why did you come?"
43005	Why did you compel me to come yesterday?
43005	Why did you never come to see us at Nice, as Urania asked you to?"
43005	Why did you not say that you loved me?
43005	Why did you not tell him calmly that he ca n''t claim any rights in you?
43005	Why did you strike him?"
43005	Why do they cross our lines with their petty movements and why are ours never crossed by those which perhaps would be dearest to our souls?..."
43005	Why do you flirt with him?
43005	Why do you make yourself conspicuous with him, as you did yesterday, in a restaurant full of people?"
43005	Why does n''t she make a novel of it?
43005	Why generalize from one''s personal sorrows and why that admonishing voice?..."
43005	Why had he asked her to go with him?
43005	Why had he done it, why had he pursued her after seeing her once at Nice?
43005	Why had it all been necessary?
43005	Why have n''t you been working?
43005	Why need we get married?
43005	Why not ask us for money?"
43005	Why not be on my side, like a dear friend?"
43005	Why should I make a fuss about it?
43005	Why should I not accept them?
43005	Why should n''t you be too?
43005	Why should she care about the Hague?
43005	Why should she refuse?
43005	Why should she run away to Duco and make herself ridiculous in the eyes of all their acquaintances?
43005	Why should they curl back, force her backwards to her original starting- point?
43005	Why should they not be together here?
43005	Why should you want to pester me like this?"
43005	Why, in Heaven''s name, should we, Duco?
43005	Why, so soon as she crossed one of these intersections, did she feel, as though by instinct, that honesty was not always wise?
43005	Why... why had he not gone alone?
43005	Why?
43005	Why?
43005	Will you come with me one day?"
43005	Work?
43005	Would Cornélie care to try it?
43005	Would he come soon?
43005	Would he never understand her, would he never grasp anything or know anything for certain of that changeful and intangible vagueness of hers?
43005	Would it be in the evening or quite early in the morning?
43005	Would you care to see it?"
43005	Would you like to live in Paris?"
43005	Would you like to sit next to them at table?"
43005	Write?
43005	You are Dutch, are you not?
43005	You do n''t imagine, do you, that your father has any objection to your becoming Duchess di San Stefano?"
43005	You know how fond I am of you: why should n''t I confess it?
43005	You think-- and the marchesa probably thinks with you-- that I want to take Gilio from you?
43005	You were one of the leaders of the Women''s Congress in London, were you not?"
43005	You will not understand it perhaps, for I do n''t think you are artistic, marchesa?
43005	You''re impatient?
43005	You''re waiting for an answer from Chicago?
43005	[ 2] They look rather dilapidated, do n''t they?
43005	and Marguerite de Valois, came running down the stairs:"What''s become of the others?"
43005	bread?"
43005	cultivated?"
43508	''Especially at this time''--I wonder what he meant by that?
43508	''Everything?'' 43508 ''We?''"
43508	''Well?''
43508	Ah said, Is yo''tuk sick, suh?
43508	Ah,he said with an attempt at airiness, slipping out of the overcoat and extending his hand,"our Empress already has been out?"
43508	Am I in on it?
43508	Am I to get well, or am I to die?
43508	Am I to go to Europe with you, dear-- really?
43508	Am I to understand that you really expect me to believe that you paid for my education?
43508	An odd chance, was n''t it? 43508 And I could not miss you if I did not care for you?
43508	And a remark is none the less true for being repeated, is it?
43508	And am I really to go with you? 43508 And that is?"
43508	And what?
43508	And when she did begin to pine that''s where you''d come in, eh?
43508	And you do n''t suppose I''d go around placarding the fact if that was my intention, do you? 43508 And you took your degree?"
43508	And, if my mother is to be dragged down, if she is to continue in this way, of what use would my life ever be to me? 43508 Another?"
43508	Antoinette, dear, wo n''t you see if you can attract that taxicab man''s attention?
43508	Anybody I know, Blythe?
43508	Anybody above or below me here now?
43508	Are n''t you?
43508	Are we to dawdle here until luncheon time? 43508 Are you going to get out now, or are you waiting for me to throw you out?"
43508	Are you not beside yourself?
43508	Are you prepared to be severely disciplined?
43508	Are you sure that you did not?
43508	Are you sure,he inquired of Judd after a short silence,"that she knows just where you figure in the Riverside Drive establishment?"
43508	Are you trying to regale me with a rehearsal of the flighty mother turned virtuous? 43508 But are n''t you a mite thinner, mother?"
43508	But are you really going so-- so scandalously soon?
43508	But does n''t it beautifully belie its name and its owner''s doldrumish use of it? 43508 But it is all the same, since it is your mother''s, is it not?"
43508	But it''s a bit unusual, is n''t it, Blythe? 43508 But one''s worry for others?"
43508	But the girl?
43508	But what does he want with me?
43508	But where are you going at this hour of the night, child?
43508	But why did you never tell me, mother?
43508	But why did you not tell me these things when my father asked you to become my guardian?
43508	But you must have thought, have n''t you, that it would not be fair for me to marry John Blythe?
43508	But you were pretty wrong, were n''t you? 43508 But you''ll remember, I suppose,"going on suavely,"that you told me that Miss Treharne was a virtual dependent of yours?"
43508	But your education?
43508	But your own life, dear?
43508	But, Louise, if you had meant to tell me these things yourself, what has altered your determination? 43508 But, dear,"said Louise, conscious that her ground was giving way beneath her,"we can not always do that which we want to do, can we?
43508	But, my dear,her mother persisted,"what is it that you have against Mr. Jesse?
43508	But, since on your own say- so she scarcely even nods to you, and you are paying the freight, what''s the answer? 43508 Child, how can the woman a man loves hamper him?"
43508	Dear, he has gone to Curzon Street, has he not?
43508	Demmed handsome, that daughter of yours,Judd commented on Louise to Mrs. Treharne when he saw her the next afternoon,"but-- er-- uppish, what?"
43508	Did he have any comment to make?
43508	Did he tell you, dear?
43508	Did the''disparity''number win, John?
43508	Did you ever come upon such an unspeakable situation, Laura?
43508	Did you ever happen to meet a woman with auburn hair who possessed a-- er-- a frozen or freezing temperament? 43508 Did you know that I always was just a little jealous of you, dear?"
43508	Did you meet him last night, Louise?
43508	Did you tell him so?
43508	Did you wish to see him? 43508 Do I?
43508	Do n''t you suppose I know? 43508 Do n''t you_ know_ what the world--_his_ world-- would say if he married me?"
43508	Do you feel so lonesome as all that?
43508	Do you live here, mother?
43508	Do you mean to say you''re going to take the bear end of it?
43508	Do you mean to tell me,exclaimed Laura, laughing,"that, after you''ve been here more than a solid hour, Louise has not told you?
43508	Do you think she will know her mother, Heloise?
43508	Do you? 43508 Does Mr. Blythe know?"
43508	Does he mention me? 43508 Does it?"
43508	Does she know you are here? 43508 Does that monkey- chattering maid of yours sleep all the time, or has she a case on with the butler?
43508	Does your mother know this? 43508 Everything, madame?"
43508	Fair?
43508	From Langdon Jesse?
43508	Get out and stay out till this evening, do you hear?
43508	Good God, man, ca n''t you play the game? 43508 Gracious heaven, is it any wonder that men privately sneer at the way women treat each other?
43508	Has n''t he the run of the house? 43508 Have I not?"
43508	Have n''t you? 43508 Have n''t you?"
43508	Have you asked me that?
43508	Hay- o, folks-- having a little party?
43508	He has sent his card to you? 43508 Heart, did I say?
43508	Heloise,she had said to the devoted French girl,"tell me something, wo n''t you?
43508	His this Miss Tre''arne?
43508	How about her?
43508	How can it be avoided?
43508	How could he avoid knowing, dear?
43508	How could it possibly be viewed as anything else but fair?
43508	How could it?
43508	How could we possibly get ready to go abroad in a week, Laura?
43508	How do you mean--''fair''? 43508 How is that, Sarah?"
43508	How should one know?
43508	How the devil could she help knowing it?
43508	I am staying at the Carlton, and I want to run over there to----"Listen, John: are you going to see that man at his place now, at once?
43508	I do n''t complain of your hellish moods, do I, Tony?
43508	I do n''t want to stir up or start anything anew,he said, not unkindly,"but may I ask what it is that is your fault?"
43508	I marry?
43508	I presume,he said, solemnly,"you had your rooms done this last time to match the Mother Hub-- I mean the mandarin''s coat?"
43508	I say, Tony, what is it?
43508	I suppose John can arrange for our passage?
43508	I think you''ve told me several times,Jesse went on calmly,"that the young woman flaunts you?"
43508	I wonder how I managed to form the impression that you were living in an apartment?
43508	I wonder,she said in an intended tone of detachment,"if you are afraid she has become a bluestocking?
43508	If I have been guilty of so stupid an omission, I can rectify it by asking you now?
43508	Is anybody at home?
43508	Is he not with you? 43508 Is he-- well, nice?"
43508	Is it anything that I can help, Tony?
43508	Is it not enough that I loathe him?
43508	Is n''t Louise looking superb? 43508 Is that all you have to say--''well''?
43508	Is that so hard to say?
43508	Is that so?
43508	Is that so?
43508	Is that you, Laura?
43508	Is there any incompatibility between those two states of mind, mother?
43508	Is there any particular reason why your daughter should have to meet Judd? 43508 It is impossible,"she said,"that you two are quarrelling across the wide Atlantic?
43508	It is what numismatists would call a''first- minted''compliment, is it not?
43508	It''s Jesse, I suppose?
43508	Jesse is calling to see-- er-- your daughter, eh?
43508	John Blythe is to be your guardian? 43508 John Blythe?"
43508	John,she said,"is your solicitude for Louise solely on account of the-- er-- sense of responsibility you feel toward her father?"
43508	Judd,Jesse sneered,"you are, all in all, about the most accomplished damned blunderer in the Western Hemisphere, are n''t you?"
43508	Just you and I, Laura?
43508	Know you, madame?
43508	Laura Stedham?
43508	Let it be that I shall go with you, sir? 43508 Louise, I believe, is in London?"
43508	Louise, did you tell Mr. Blythe that you were to remain with me-- permanently?
43508	Louise,suggested Laura, who had been meditating during Blythe''s raillery,"would you care for a ride now?"
43508	Madame feels badly?
43508	Mademoiselle is awake at last?
43508	Make provision for her-- not necessarily luxurious provision-- under some other roof?
43508	May I?
43508	Mean?
43508	Meaning, I suppose,he said,"that you have an idea that Jesse might take it into his head to marry her?"
43508	Miss me for-- for my guardianly wisdom and ghostly counsel?
43508	More damned extravagance, eh?
43508	Mother,she went on in a broken voice,"come with me, wo n''t you?
43508	Mrs. Laura Stedham is--"Laura Stedham? 43508 My dear, do n''t you know he would say so to you no matter whether it were true or not?"
43508	My dear,she said to Louise, passing a white and still prettily rounded arm around her daughter,"do you hate your little mother?"
43508	Next week?
43508	Not as your guardian, I hope, Louise?
43508	Not in Judd''s car, surely, Tony?
43508	Not saying much, are you, old top?
43508	Not----"How the devil should I remember who told me?
43508	Of course he has!--why should n''t he?
43508	Oh, Madame has, has she?
43508	Oh, pardon the rudeness, wo n''t you?
43508	Oh, she''s not to be seen, hey?
43508	Oh, so you came, eh?
43508	Oh, you did, dear?
43508	Oh, you met Mr. Judd and Mr. Jesse as you came in?
43508	Oh, you''ll stand, hey?
43508	Open the door? 43508 Or are you looking for a death by freezing?
43508	Say, Jesse, I wonder if you feel so much like a clipped and trimmed Lothario as you look?
43508	Shall we all dine together here?
43508	She has to look to you to make provision for her needs-- clothes, hats, ribbons, furbelows, that sort of thing-- doesn''t she?
43508	She has your number all right, and that''s all you need to know, is n''t it?
43508	She no like to be crushed in embrace? 43508 So you''re going to keep on your white domino of pretense, eh?"
43508	Some things have occurred to disturb your mother, dear; so do n''t mind if she seems a bit_ difficile_ tonight, will you? 43508 Still in your villanous humor?"
43508	Stop twisting my words around, will you? 43508 Surely I do n''t, afflicted one-- do I?"
43508	Surely,she went on in a lower tone, her face irradiated by a smile which it thrilled him to observe,"Surely you are not the man who sulks?"
43508	That being the case,inquired Jesse,"why do you keep her around the place?"
43508	That is true, is n''t it?
43508	That refrain again?
43508	That was Jesse''s car in front of the house, was n''t it, Tony?
43508	That''ll let me have the whole damned outfit for my parties for the next ten days or so, eh?
43508	That''s the tune, is it?
43508	The Relation of the Cosmic Forces to-- er-- Mental Healing? 43508 The car?"
43508	Then I have a son, too, Louise?
43508	Then do you suppose, Louise,he said to her, in a vibrant voice of enthrallment,"that anything in this world of God can ever keep us apart?
43508	Then it is true that Louise has n''t told you we are going abroad next week?
43508	Then it was you,said Louise, lighter in spirits than she had been for a long time,"who invited me?"
43508	Then my advising you to tell him was superfluous, was n''t it? 43508 There will be plenty of time to have the place done over-- and it really does sorely need it, now does n''t it?"
43508	Therefore you have sought to entrap me?
43508	They are true? 43508 Tony,"she said, gravely,"why do n''t you show the brute the door?"
43508	Well, Mr. Ogre- Guardian, are you going to be at the pier to wish us_ bon voyage_?
43508	Well, dear?
43508	Well, she is-- er-- well, ripping; is n''t she?
43508	Well, since you both want us to stay, there is no other way for it, is there?
43508	Well, what?
43508	Well, you could see for yourself that she is more than seven years of age, could n''t you?
43508	Well,snarled Judd,"supposing I really thought so?
43508	Well?
43508	Well?
43508	Well?
43508	Well?
43508	Were they----?
43508	What are you shooting at?
43508	What are you talking about?
43508	What are your plans, John?
43508	What do I mean? 43508 What do you know about Mr. Jesse?
43508	What do you mean by that?
43508	What does your father say in his letter?
43508	What else could I mean?
43508	What for? 43508 What have I done, Tony?"
43508	What have you done, you unspeakable brute?
43508	What if Louise does meet them? 43508 What is Antoinette Treharne thinking of?
43508	What is all this-- a scene from some damned imbecile play?
43508	What is it that I must ask Mr. Blythe about, dear?
43508	What is it we were talking about, Louise?
43508	What is it you wish of me?
43508	What is it, Heloise?
43508	What is it, dear?
43508	What is it? 43508 What is the number and street again, please?
43508	What of your daughter?
43508	What other method could I employ save a sort of strategy?
43508	What should we ever have done without him?
43508	What the devil are you doing here?
43508	What the devil difference does it make?
43508	What theatre?
43508	What theatre?
43508	What time tomorrow forenoon will you be fit to be seen?
43508	What you do?
43508	What''s the difference who told me, anyhow?
43508	What''s your idea-- that I should turn her into the street?
43508	When did you reach town? 43508 When does your doctor come today, mother?"
43508	When was it taken? 43508 Where do we go tomorrow, madame?"
43508	Where''s your mistress?
43508	Who has been telling you such scandalous things, child?
43508	Who says she is n''t to be seen? 43508 Whom do you mean?"
43508	Why do that? 43508 Why do you ask such a thing, dear?"
43508	Why not give me a chance to make good with you, Louise?
43508	Why should I be?
43508	Why should n''t the poor child come home for the holidays? 43508 Why the devil do n''t you get to your feet when I come in here, you jabbering chimpanzee?"
43508	Why''sinister,''Louise?
43508	Why, Laura?
43508	Why, mamma,Bella broke out,"do n''t you remember Louise Treharne, my sworn and subscribed and vowed and vummed chum at Miss Mayhew''s?"
43508	Why, particularly''now?''
43508	Why, particularly, from me?
43508	Why, what is that?
43508	Why?
43508	Will you listen to that?
43508	Willing?
43508	Without her-- when?
43508	Wo n''t you please stop your aimless ransacking and come over and talk with me?
43508	Would he, dear?
43508	Would it be unworthy,she asked him after a pause,"if I were not to tell my father-- just yet-- that I am living with my mother?"
43508	Would you prefer to see me privately, or do you elect to have these gentlemen remain?
43508	Yes, I am Miss Treharne-- what is it?
43508	Yes?
43508	Yes?
43508	Yo''all ai n''t sick, is yo''Mistuh John?
43508	You are coming to see me immediately, dear?
43508	You are going up to the Adirondacks with her, are n''t you?
43508	You are ill, are n''t you?
43508	You are not returning to school at all?
43508	You are not supposing that I am going to call the cur out, or tweak his nose in public, or any such yellow- covered thing as that, are you, Laura?
43508	You do n''t think such a thing, do you?
43508	You forget that, if it makes you feel aged, it should make me feel at least middle aged, do n''t you? 43508 You go there, sir?"
43508	You have a car, then?
43508	You have a letter from my father?
43508	You have been with Laura ever since early this morning?
43508	You have visited my mother''s home? 43508 You know how I always loved you as a little girl?"
43508	You know my father?
43508	You mean botched the thing so far as you are concerned, eh?
43508	You mean tonight, dear?
43508	You met her at the station, did you not?
43508	You said something, did n''t you?
43508	You take in those bear- garden affairs at Tony''s-- at Mrs. Treharne''s,catching himself,"right along, do n''t you?"
43508	You take your time, do n''t you?
43508	You tell her that I want to see her, understand?
43508	You were with Laura and John Blythe? 43508 You will enlighten me, of course?"
43508	You will give me time to think it all out, dear, wo n''t you?
43508	You will hook me, Laura? 43508 You will send my love to my father in your letter?"
43508	You wo n''t be annoyed?
43508	You''re becoming confoundedly erect in your ideas, are n''t you?
43508	You''re going to sit down, ai n''t you? 43508 You''ve got a tongue, have n''t you?"
43508	You_ are_ grotesquely tall, are n''t you, dear?
43508	Your guardian?
43508	("Why do n''t all men talk basso?"
43508	*****"Would you care to meet some of my Sunday night people, Louise?"
43508	--don''t you catch the rhythm of it?
43508	A little sad, is it not?
43508	After a space he replied with a monosyllable:"Who?"
43508	Am I right?"
43508	Am I too late for breakfast?"
43508	An odd chance, was it not?"
43508	And a porpoise''s cold- bloodedness?
43508	And how long have you been insane?"
43508	And is he so-- so glorious- looking as this?"
43508	And so he''d been hauled over the coals again on account of that high- and- mighty daughter of Tony''s, had he?
43508	And some toast?
43508	And was there_ ever_ such a happy day since the world began?"
43508	And what does their''They- Saying''amount to?"
43508	And what would be her natural implication?
43508	And where is John Blythe?"
43508	And why did n''t you come to see me the very instant you returned?"
43508	And you are sure Mrs. Stedham has had no accident or is not seriously ill?"
43508	And you''re here, ai n''t you?"
43508	And you, heart of hearts?"
43508	And, by the way, why do you dwell upon her rigidity, so to speak, when she nods''even to you?''
43508	And, say, get me another man, will you?
43508	Annoyed?
43508	Anyhow, count me out of your confounded woman- hunting schemes in future, understand?
43508	Anyhow, why should n''t he have called the young woman"daughter"if he felt like it?
43508	Are n''t you forgetting that I knew you when you still believed in Kris Kringle and Hans Andersen?"
43508	Are we to go out?"
43508	Are you cubs going along with me?"
43508	Are you to tell your mother that I have asked you to marry me, or am I to tell her when I see her?"
43508	Are you waiting to have me tell you that I applaud her judgment?"
43508	Are you?"
43508	At that, why ca n''t you let her alone?
43508	At whose direction?
43508	Blythe?"
43508	Blythe?"
43508	But I want you to tell me just why, since you can not change the conditions, you deem it necessary to go on living there?"
43508	But how to convince Louise of that?
43508	But how to proceed?
43508	But it does n''t much matter what a man says, does it, when he is happier than he has ever before been in his life?"
43508	But my question: Would it be fair?"
43508	But stay: make my devoirs to her, wo n''t you, please?
43508	But what can I do?
43508	But you''re in, eh, and waiting for sixteen cent cotton?"
43508	But, after all, they only think they''re regulating us that way, do n''t they?
43508	But, after all, what difference does it make?
43508	But, before I answer your question, are you willing to grant, at least for the time, that I am a woman?"
43508	But, now that the thing has ambled along to this stage, what''s the use of talking about quitting?"
43508	But, seeing that I have penetrated to the heart of the comedy, why protract the play?"
43508	By the way, Louise,"veering about with diverting instability,"when do you really and privately mean to get rid of the man by marrying him?"
43508	Ca n''t we have some tea in your rooms?"
43508	Ca n''t you see how impossible, how utterly out of the question, how----""Her quitting school now, you mean?"
43508	Ca n''t you take your medicine-- stand for the defeat?"
43508	Can you imagine a more imbecile question?
43508	Can you?"
43508	Coming to a man''s house with a chastising programme?"
43508	Could there be anything more unheard- of, more marvelous, than that?
43508	Devotion, from whom?
43508	Devotion, how?
43508	Did n''t he fairly shower money upon her mother?
43508	Did n''t he humor all of Tony''s extravagances without ever a word of complaint?
43508	Did n''t her mother have his signed blank checks to fill out at her own sweet will and option?
43508	Did n''t they teach you manners at school?
43508	Did n''t you find him rather-- well,_ distingué_, we''ll say, Louise?"
43508	Did you ever happen to encounter a female who delighted in calling herself a''woman of temperament,''John Blythe?
43508	Did you get enough sleep, child?
43508	Do n''t you suppose we''d have fought and barked at each other just the same if we''d been married according to the frazzled old rule?
43508	Do n''t you think she had better be told this?"
43508	Do n''t you think-- don''t you know-- that it is?"
43508	Do you get that?"
43508	Do you mean to say she did not tell you that I was the organizer of this expedition?"
43508	Do you think I''m going to let you treat me as if I were some credulous cub just turned loose from school?
43508	Do you think he is the sort of man I should meet?"
43508	Do you think it would be well for me to send for my daughter?"
43508	Do you think she will be?"
43508	Do you understand me?"
43508	Do you?"
43508	Does n''t she know that she''s dependent upon you?"
43508	Does that please you?"
43508	Everybody seems to know that, mother, except you: and you do n''t know it, do you?"
43508	Except very occasionally, I mean?"
43508	Fair to whom-- to yourself or to John?"
43508	Fellows have been defeated before my time, have n''t they?
43508	Great heaven, am I not old enough as it is?
43508	Had Louise understood his words as he had meant them?
43508	Haughty about what?
43508	Haughty for what reason?
43508	Have all the show girls moved out of New York?"
43508	Have you?"
43508	He bowed low, keeping his eyes upraised on Louise''s face, when he reached her side, and said:"Miss Treharne?"
43508	He had been drinking a little at the time, anyhow, and it was a slip of the tongue; but even if it had n''t been, what was the difference?
43508	He knows that Louise is coming?"
43508	He not only is your guardian, but he is a man-- a regular man-- and your-- oh, well, I do not need to say that he is your friend, do I?"
43508	Hey?
43508	His"devotion as a man?"
43508	How about it, Blythe?"
43508	How about that?"
43508	How about you fellows?"
43508	How can anything stand between us?"
43508	How could I ask Treharne to renew the allowance?
43508	How could she help wondering at the extravagant, vulgar ornateness of Judd''s car?
43508	How could she leave her mother, even for a short time, now that she had rejoined her after a separation of years?
43508	How did I know that your daughter would be there?
43508	How do you ever expect me to forgive you that, child?"
43508	How else could her words possibly be viewed by a sane man?
43508	How has it, how could it, ever involve you, or come between you and the man-- the big- minded man-- who loves you and whom you love?
43508	How is that for one gorgeous plan?"
43508	How long is she going to stay?
43508	How many men ever believed they were considered as possibilities until they endured the travail of finding out?"
43508	How much ground is there around the place, John?"
43508	How the devil would my planting the young woman in a miserable little six- by- eight flat help your case?"
43508	How would her mother explain these things?
43508	I am the only one who could bring her back, am I not?
43508	I make myself plain, I hope?"
43508	I never could be happy with her in such surroundings, could I?
43508	I never have, have I?
43508	I suppose she has been taught to mind her own business?
43508	I think there is no more to be said?"
43508	I wonder how many of us really follow their rules?
43508	I wonder if you were so enormously struck with her as I was?"
43508	I wonder why you decided to tell him, Louise?"
43508	I wonder, Tony, how many times I have heard you give utterance to that phrase during the past few years-- just?"
43508	If she had how long do you suppose she would continue her absurd''salon?"
43508	In all candor, and between man and man, could you possibly have botched things worse than you did upon your mistaken premise?"
43508	In an hour, you said?"
43508	In heaven''s name, what else could you two have been talking about?"
43508	Is it_ banal_ to put it that way?
43508	Is n''t it odd that you should have met him in such a way?
43508	Is n''t she a perfect apparition of loveliness?"
43508	Is n''t that a perfectly natural wish?"
43508	Is n''t that quite the rule?
43508	Is she with you now?"
43508	Is yo''got any fevuh, suh?
43508	Is your case so bad as all that?
43508	It can not be that you, too, are beginning to misunderstand me, as Miss Treharne has from the beginning?"
43508	It is arranged, then?"
43508	It is lovely, is n''t it?"
43508	It is this: Just why are you remaining at that house?
43508	It is too bad, is n''t it, that this did not come just a few months earlier?
43508	It will be the first time she has had her holidays at home since she went away to school-- nearly four years, I think-- isn''t it?"
43508	Judd?"
43508	Just cut out your harpings, in this connection, upon my family and all of that sort of thing, understand?"
43508	Just how can you possibly expect such a change ever to come about?"
43508	Just make up your mind to that, will you?"
43508	Let me have my own way this final once, wo n''t you?"
43508	Listen, dear: I know that it only takes you about fifteen minutes to dress-- of course you are not dressed yet?
43508	Louise, have you had your coffee?
43508	May I come up to see you?"
43508	Missing you, she will come to a realization of what she is sacrificing for-- what?
43508	Mrs. Treharne looked annoyed and there was irritation in her question:"Why not, my dear?"
43508	Now Scammel, with gathered brows, stepped in front of Jesse and inquired of him:"What have you to say to this, Jesse?"
43508	Now, are you going to be sensible and quit this idiotic business?"
43508	Now, hurry, wo n''t you?"
43508	Of course the man has asked you time and again, since we''ve been over here, to marry him?"
43508	Of course you are crazy over it?"
43508	Of course you are going to see him?"
43508	Of course you found him handsome,_ distingué_?
43508	Of course you may call it a trap and all that sort of penny- dreadful rot; but what other way had I to see you?
43508	Once, when I was a young woman("You are so aged and decrepit now, are n''t you?"
43508	One of''em is why the devil you think you''re licensed to treat me--_me!_--as if I were a flunkey?"
43508	Open the door?
43508	Or ask me, perhaps?"
43508	Or is it permissible for one to cross- examine so solemn and cautious a person as an attorney?"
43508	Or maybe a frump?
43508	Or more recently?"
43508	Or, worse still, what you call one of the anointed smugs?
43508	Perhaps your madness is a sort of recurrent mania, with lucid intervals?"
43508	See that you remember it every minute from this time on, will you?"
43508	Shall I sit and twiddle my thumbs?
43508	Shall you be down?"
43508	She has lived here with you, has n''t she?
43508	She must have considered some way out of the hideous mess?"
43508	Since that-- er-- somewhat widely- exploited little affair of his in the West Indies last year?
43508	So stay over there for another month at least, wo n''t you, Petrarch''s Laura and the Laura of all of us?...
43508	So that is the direction of the wind?
43508	So what would be the use?"
43508	Stedham''?
43508	Stedham?"
43508	Suppose we seek a less personal plane?
43508	Surely, she had everything that she wanted?
43508	That is because you do care, then, Heloise?"
43508	That is understood?"
43508	That was n''t going to kill her, was it?
43508	That you do n''t know that the clothes that you''ve got on your back right this minute were bought for you by me?"
43508	That you do n''t know that the roof over your head and the bed you''ve slept in has been paid for by me?
43508	The Real Nub of the Suffragettes''Cause?
43508	The asking is this: Would that be a fair thing to do?"
43508	The problem, briefly stated, was this: What did Louise Treharne think of him?
43508	Then Jesse, his too- prominent lips curving, and seeming to be gazing over the top of Judd''s bare poll, said:"Sumptious, is n''t she?"
43508	Then what are you making such a devil of a rumpus about it for?"
43508	Then why ca n''t they play the game without moaning and kicking to the umpire?"
43508	Then, after a slight pause:"Are you religious, my dear, or-- er-- well, broad- minded?"
43508	Then, swept by a momentary compunction,"You are well, dear?
43508	Then, when there was a pause, he pressed the point:"Is that it, Louise?"
43508	Then:"Are you for the club?"
43508	Thirteen years''difference-- and, by the way, have n''t I heard you affirm that thirteen is your lucky number?"
43508	Unless, of course,"and Judd shot a glance of inquiry at Jesse,"you mean to turn respectable-- it''s about time-- and go in for the marrying idea?"
43508	Upon whose application?"
43508	Very promptly he heard her musically rising"Well?"
43508	Waiting for cotton to touch sixteen cents, eh?"
43508	Was Heloise in a scolding humor?
43508	Was he sorry that such a thing had come to be?
43508	Was it Aspasia or Cleopatra whose hair was of the glorious shade of yours-- or both?"
43508	Was it dear old Jerry Scammel who did this for us?"
43508	Was n''t she living in his house?
43508	We are dining here this evening then?
43508	We are going to be great cronies, are we not?"
43508	We owe each other unselfishness at least, if only on account of our love?
43508	We shall not speak of it again, shall we, mother?"
43508	Well, is it a bargain, Louise?
43508	Well, then, why ca n''t we hit it off?
43508	Were you taken in hand by relatives?
43508	What became of Louise?
43508	What chance has she in this house?
43508	What did I say that was wrong?"
43508	What did you do then?
43508	What difference does it make as to the main facts of your dirty bit of work whether you knew that or not?
43508	What do you know about Mr. Jesse that has caused you to form such an opinion of him?"
43508	What else could any man do who found himself in a state of desperation from his love for a woman?"
43508	What else is there for it but Paris?
43508	What had Louise''s mother''s status to do with Louise?
43508	What have you done?
43508	What is it you wish to tell me, John?
43508	What license had she to be haughty-- especially with him, Judd?
43508	What of that?
43508	What reprisals could he attempt?
43508	What right did she have, anyhow, to look at him as if he were a woodtick?
43508	What right had he to seek to torture her simple utterance into anything more meaningful, more solacing to his wretched self- esteem?
43508	What sort of a place is this as a home for Louise?
43508	What the d----, then, did she mean by flouting him?
43508	What the devil are you trembling and quaking about?
43508	What the devil did Tony mean by snarling at him all the time about this daughter of hers that had come along and messed everything up?
43508	What worth- while man of his age has n''t?
43508	What would they be worth to me without you?
43508	What''s it all about?"
43508	What''s the answer?"
43508	What''s the matter, anyhow?
43508	What, after all, had they amounted to?
43508	What, in Heaven''s name, has your mother''s departure from-- from rule to do with you?
43508	What, then, is the most convincing manifestation of your insanity?"
43508	When did you see him last?"
43508	When is Louise arriving?"
43508	When it comes to that, why should n''t I?
43508	When, by the way, did you gather the idea that Jesse was a marrying man?
43508	Where did you say his place is?
43508	Where is Laura-- she is with you, of course?"
43508	Where is he?
43508	While Louise had been speaking he had been grinning malevolently at Jesse, the grin saying, as plainly as words:"Well, I was right, was n''t I?
43508	Who has been telling you things about him?"
43508	Who sent for her?
43508	Why ca n''t we be bully good friends?
43508	Why do n''t you let it go at that?
43508	Why fence with me?
43508	Why not let the girl in upon your-- your tangled affairs a little more gradually?
43508	Why should I be?
43508	Why should I hamper him?"
43508	Why should not Mademoiselle Louise know her mother?"
43508	Why should she be immune from a furtiveness, and the indulgences thereof, which he had so often studied at first hand?
43508	Why should she be less clever at dissimulation than many others he had known?
43508	Why should she not, she thought, since he seemed to be so well acquainted with her parents-- and was her father''s attorney besides?
43508	Why should she not?
43508	Why was she thus repressing her impulses?
43508	Why worry yourself through all the years with wishing so impossible-- I was going to say so insane-- a wish?
43508	Why you no let go?"
43508	Why''even to you?''"
43508	Will you open this door and let me go?"
43508	Will you shake hands on it?"
43508	Will you solemnly promise me to be here on the stroke of eight?
43508	Will you want to see them?"
43508	Wo n''t you be seated?"
43508	Wo n''t you come with me-- come now?"
43508	Wo n''t you come, mother?"
43508	Wo n''t you sit down and tell me all about my father and my mother and myself and yourself and-- and everybody?
43508	Wo n''t you tell me what it is all about?"
43508	Would it not be rather presumptuous, not to say downright unfair, for me to take advantage of these things?"
43508	Would n''t it have been a victory for Art if he had succeeded in demolishing that bronze libel on Burns?
43508	Would she, indeed, explain to her daughter at all?
43508	Would you have minded my fetching him up, Laura?
43508	Write me just how he contrived to meet Louise, wo n''t you?"
43508	You and Louise are to spend hours with me, are you not, telling me of your conquests in Europe?
43508	You are fond of motoring?"
43508	You are not annoyed because I ask?"
43508	You are not imbecile enough to suppose that my daughter is to endure them, too?
43508	You are to be home for the holidays?"
43508	You do n''t for an instant suppose that, even if I implored him, he would forego any of his-- his privileges here?"
43508	You do n''t mind asking it again?"
43508	You know that badly- batted- around modern word,''uplift''?
43508	You ride, of course, dear?"
43508	You will not mind my going out for a long walk?
43508	You''ll depend upon your old friend Laura?"
43508	You''ll keep the seat, wo n''t you?
43508	You''re properly shrivelled, are n''t you?"
43508	You''ve got a man''s gizzard, have n''t you?
43508	You''ve got your nerve with you to ask me to figure in any such a dirty subtle scheme as that, have n''t you?"
43508	You?"
43508	[ Illustration:"BUT, WHY DID YOU NEVER TELL ME, MOTHER?"]
43508	inquired Heloise, her eyes widening,"Winter costumes-- everything?"
43508	say anything to my detriment?"
11052	A divorce? 11052 A gentleman--?"
11052	A good match? 11052 A jeweller?
11052	A vision?
11052	Abner-- can you really manage it all right?
11052	About me? 11052 Act mean?"
11052	Ah-- and the husband? 11052 Ah?
11052	Ai n''t I here to look out for your future?
11052	Ai n''t she a peach?
11052	All to make yourself more beautiful for a man who''s blind with your beauty already?
11052	Am I awfully in the way, sir? 11052 Am I?"
11052	An American? 11052 And about the other business-- that''s a go too?
11052	And besides, what on earth does it matter? 11052 And he never came?"
11052	And he stopped writing?
11052	And that''s what you''re proposing to me? 11052 And the rest-- why should n''t the rest be sent over to Europe after us?
11052	And what are you going to do next?
11052	And what do you think I''ve been doing? 11052 And you WILL let me help?"
11052	And you''ve never seen him since?
11052	Another mistake? 11052 Any other day?
11052	Anybody--?
11052	Anything I can do for you across the pond?
11052	Are n''t we all bound by our mistakes-- we women? 11052 Are there sides already?
11052	Are you as sorry as all that?
11052	Are you going to be tied to business all your life?
11052	Are you going to marry me?
11052	As if I did n''t HAVE to go anyhow?
11052	As swell? 11052 Asked for YOU?"
11052	Before my marriage-- did you know they had n''t told me?
11052	Belong to?
11052	But I telephoned--He said to himself:"Is THAT the lie?"
11052	But are there never any gentlemen present?
11052	But do n''t you see?
11052	But does n''t Undine know him? 11052 But have n''t we met before?
11052	But if he''s engaged to a rich girl, why on earth do WE have to pull him out?
11052	But is the lady you allude to more than a hypothesis? 11052 But not this part, do they?
11052	But surely you understood at the time that it wo n''t be possible till his wife inherits?
11052	But the money-- where''s the money to come from?
11052	But they ca n''t prevent it, can they?
11052	But why should n''t I?
11052	But why? 11052 But, my dear young lady-- what would your friend''s situation be if, as you put it, she''got rid''of her husband on so trivial a pretext?"
11052	Ca n''t you imagine all it will make up for?
11052	Ca n''t you see the man''s doing his best to make a fool of you?
11052	Ca n''t you understand that, knowing how they all feel about me-- and how Ralph feels-- I''d give almost anything to get away?
11052	Capri? 11052 Clare?
11052	Could n''t your people do something-- help us out just this once, I mean?
11052	Did Laura telephone?
11052	Did YOU?
11052	Did he happen to explain THAT, I wonder?
11052	Did n''t I knock? 11052 Did n''t come?
11052	Did n''t she ever send you over any of those splendid clippings that came out the time they were married? 11052 Did n''t they receive you right, daughter?"
11052	Did n''t you get a letter?
11052	Did we meet there?
11052	Did you read the description of yourself in the Radiator this morning? 11052 Differently?
11052	Do anything to her?
11052	Do n''t tell me the party''s over, and the guest of honour gone to bed?
11052	Do n''t you know it''s the thing in the best society to pretend that girls ca n''t do anything without their mothers''permission? 11052 Do n''t you think, dear, you may be mistaken?"
11052	Do n''t you?
11052	Do they back him up in that kind of talk?
11052	Do you know Mrs. Fairford too?
11052	Do you know what a box costs?
11052	Do you like Paris?
11052	Do you mean that disgusting scandal you told me about? 11052 Do you mean to say Mabel would be worse off, then?
11052	Do you mean to say Undine''s in the United States?
11052	Do you mean to say it''s not going through?
11052	Do you mean to tell me that Undine''s divorcing ME?
11052	Do you mean to tell me you''re going back to Ralph?
11052	Do you really mind the heat so much? 11052 Do you s''pose I''d drag him down?"
11052	Do you suppose I had to wait for him to tell me? 11052 Do you suppose I''ll let you cross the ocean on the Sorceress?"
11052	Do you suppose he does?
11052	Do you suppose there''s time? 11052 Do you think I''d care a cent for all the rest of it if I was n''t?"
11052	Do you want my blessing again?
11052	Does he also tell you what''s said of her?
11052	Does it cost anything like that to buy your daughter''s dresses?
11052	Does it cost anything like that to print his poetry?
11052	Does it strike you that it''s such an awfully easy thing to do?
11052	Does n''t that show you the story''s all trumped up?
11052	Does she imagine I wo n''t fight it?
11052	Does she suppose Van Degen''s going to marry her?
11052	Does she want me to?
11052	Does the price come higher than the dress?
11052	Driscoll tell you to come here?
11052	Elmer Moffatt-- you ARE?
11052	Elmer, if you''re going away it ca n''t do any harm to tell me-- is there any one else?
11052	Elmer? 11052 Engaged?
11052	Europe? 11052 Everything fixed up for them, same as it is for the husbands, eh?
11052	Father, I did what you wanted that one time, anyhow-- won''t you listen to me and help me out now?
11052	Father-- has mother told you? 11052 Father?
11052	Feverishly adding to a fortune already monstrous?
11052	Fond of these pink crystals?
11052	For Europe?
11052	For Europe?
11052	For desertion?
11052	Forget what? 11052 Free?
11052	From my-- from Undine''s lawyers? 11052 Get anything?
11052	Go to Switzerland, you mean?
11052	Go-- after that?
11052	Going all alone in a box?
11052	Going up to your office? 11052 Good God, Undine Marvell-- are you sitting there in your sane senses and talking to me of what you could do if you were FREE?"
11052	Good- bye-- now? 11052 Got anything you can put over your head?
11052	H''m-- are you sure that''s a good sign?
11052	HE saw you, did n''t he?
11052	Ha, Ralph, my boy, how did you pull it off? 11052 Hallo, Ralph, old man-- did you run across our auburn beauty of the Stentorian?
11052	Hallo-- what were you doing in there with those cut- throats?
11052	Hallo-- where have they all gone to? 11052 Has father telephoned?"
11052	Has the common stock dropped a lot?
11052	Have I got to write the note, then?
11052	Have I?
11052	Have n''t you just said so? 11052 Have they turned him so completely against me?
11052	He DID say more?
11052	He ca n''t do anything to her, can he?
11052	He does n''t give us nearly as much as father does,she said; and, as Ralph remained silent, she went on:"Could n''t you ask your sister, then?
11052	He gave you a reason? 11052 He was a stunning chap last time I saw him.--Excuse me if I''ve put my foot in it; but I understood you kept him with you...?
11052	He was feeling pretty good, sitting there alongside of you, was n''t he? 11052 He''s a mighty fine fellow and no mistake-- but is n''t he rather an armful for you?"
11052	Her husband? 11052 Here, now, just you look at these clippings-- I guess you''ll find a lot in them about your Ma.--Where do they come from?
11052	How big is it? 11052 How can I remember what I promised last Sunday?
11052	How can I? 11052 How could I get a divorce?
11052	How dare you speak to me like that? 11052 How did you know?"
11052	How do I know it is? 11052 How long is it since she went?"
11052	How on earth can I go on living here?
11052	How should I know? 11052 How''d he look?
11052	How''s Undie getting along?
11052	How''s that?
11052	I beg your pardon most awfully-- am I breaking up an important conference?
11052	I did have rather a rush to get here-- but had n''t I better join the revellers? 11052 I do n''t s''pose you''re thinking of taking mother and me?"
11052	I do n''t suppose YOU''VE known what it is to be lonely since you''ve been in Europe?
11052	I guess you know where those come from, do n''t you?
11052	I know... How did you come? 11052 I only meant to say-- what''s the use of raking up things that are over?"
11052	I ought n''t to have said it, ought I? 11052 I presume you''re here to see me on business?"
11052	I presume you''re settled here now?
11052	I say, Popp-- was that where you learned to mix this drink? 11052 I should have given you one anyhow-- shouldn''t you have liked that as well?"
11052	I suppose even money-- a great deal of money-- wouldn''t make the least bit of difference?
11052	I suppose he did himself a lot of harm by testifying in the Ararat investigation?
11052	I suppose it''s awfully gay here? 11052 I suppose she''s gone with Van Degen?"
11052	I suppose there is n''t anybody else--?
11052	I suppose you''ve been to that old church over there?
11052	I wonder what you DID marry me for?
11052	I wonder what you''ve done to me but make a discontented woman of me-- discontented with everything I had before I knew you?
11052	I-- my-- to Ralph? 11052 IS it to be a break between us?"
11052	If I''m right-- you WILL let me help?
11052	If he was yours?
11052	If they''re as rich as you say, I suppose Hubert means to pay you back by and bye?
11052	If we two chaps stick together it wo n''t be so bad-- we can keep each other warm, do n''t you see? 11052 If: you''re as detached as that, why does the obsolete institution of marriage survive with you?"
11052	In March?
11052	In love with your husband? 11052 In that kind of way?
11052	Indeed? 11052 Is it Raymond who keeps you shut up here?
11052	Is it because your mother had n''t time for you? 11052 Is it the fellow who was over at Nice with you that day?"
11052	Is it yes?
11052	Is n''t it better to be frank? 11052 Is n''t that the key to our easy divorces?
11052	Is she afraid he''ll get round her again-- make up to her? 11052 Is she terribly set on this trip to Europe?"
11052	Is that all she says?
11052	Is that all?
11052	Is that another of his arguments? 11052 Is that the precious stuff he tells you?"
11052	Is that the way you cross- examine Clare?
11052	Is this what you wanted to tell me last night?
11052	Is this your doing?
11052	It is n''t a reason, is n''t it? 11052 It might be nice-- but where could we get anything to eat?"
11052	It sounded like old times, I suppose-- you thought father and I were quarrelling? 11052 It was Fleischhauer who brought a man down to see the tapestries one day when I was away at Beaune?"
11052	It was your husband''s sister-- what did you say her name was? 11052 It''s less interesting than you expected-- or less amusing?
11052	It''s true, then?
11052	Just tell me one thing-- did you never miss me?
11052	Just to ask you-- to beg you-- not to say anything of this kind again-- EVER--"Anything about you and me?
11052	Last night?--Is it in the papers?
11052	Laura Fairford-- is that the sister''s name?
11052	Less fussy?
11052	Let us run over occasionally and call on you: we''re dying for a pretext, are n''t we?
11052	Lipscomb? 11052 Look here,"he asked,"where are we going to dine to- night?"
11052	Look here-- the installment plan''s all right; but ai n''t you a bit behind even on that?
11052	Look where? 11052 MOTHER?
11052	Married gentlemen?
11052	Marvell-- what Marvell is that?
11052	Meet anybody? 11052 Mistaken?
11052	More bills?
11052	Mr. Rolliver, my dear?
11052	Mrs. Heeny, you''ve got to tell me the truth-- ARE they as swell as you said?
11052	My Papa?
11052	My husband? 11052 My poor girl, what''s the matter?
11052	My wife--? 11052 Never went to America?
11052	Next year?
11052	No-- I know it; but what''s he doing here? 11052 No-- why should she?"
11052	Not New York in July?
11052	Not come back? 11052 Nothing... I do n''t know... I suppose I''m homesick...""Homesick?
11052	Nothing? 11052 Now-- at once?"
11052	Of course she''s not worrying about the boy-- why should she? 11052 Of course what they charge for is the cut--""What they cut away?
11052	Of course, you know, the tapestries are not for sale--"That so? 11052 Oh did n''t I tell you?
11052	Oh, Ralph, what does it matter-- what can it matter?
11052	Oh, a PROFESSION, you call it? 11052 Oh, are you?
11052	Oh, ca n''t you leave me alone, mother? 11052 Oh, really?
11052	Oh, why do you? 11052 Oh-- Miss Hicks, you mean?"
11052	Oh-- you''re not going?
11052	Ordered you home?
11052	Our dear Lili''s so good- natured... she so hates to do anything unfriendly; but she naturally thinks first of her mother..."Her mother? 11052 Paris?
11052	Paul?
11052	Popple''s giving a tea?
11052	Present where? 11052 Rake up?
11052	Ralph do n''t make a living out of the law, you say? 11052 Ralph-- Ralph-- is it anything she''s done?"
11052	Ralph?
11052	Ralphie, dear, you''ll come to the opera with me on Friday? 11052 Rather stand?..."
11052	Refuse? 11052 Risk?
11052	Sat here-- all alone? 11052 Say, Undine-- it was good while it lasted, though, was n''t it?"
11052	Sell it? 11052 Settled?"
11052	Shall I go up and speak to her?
11052	Shall you encourage that?
11052	She WAS-- Wasn''t she, Harriet?
11052	She wants you to, eh?
11052	She''s gone, you mean? 11052 She''s not going to take him away from us?"
11052	She''s so crazy about him?
11052	So you''re to see the old gentleman for the first time at this dinner?
11052	Some other woman?
11052	Sorry-- sorry? 11052 Sorry-- you''re sorry?
11052	Such luck?
11052	THIS man... THIS man...was the one fiery point in his darkened consciousness...."What on earth are you talking about?"
11052	Take''em? 11052 Talking?
11052	That one died a long long time ago, did n''t he? 11052 That ruled out of court too?
11052	That so, Puss? 11052 That so?
11052	That so? 11052 That so?
11052	That so? 11052 That so?
11052	That so?
11052	That the heir apparent?
11052	That was Raymond de Chelles''mother I saw there yesterday? 11052 That''s all you feel, then?"
11052	That''s all you''ve got to say, then?
11052	That''s all?
11052	That''s what you want the money for?
11052	The Sorceress? 11052 The fellow next to Miss Spragg?
11052	The first--?
11052	The man next to her? 11052 The nerve for what?"
11052	The privilege of painting me? 11052 The right man?
11052	The trouble?
11052	The way they''ve acted to me and mother? 11052 The wife?
11052	The wrong set? 11052 Then I''m powerless?"
11052	Then I''m the only one left out?
11052	Then he knew it all along-- he admits that? 11052 Then why not-- why should n''t we--?"
11052	Then you DO mean to marry Chelles?
11052	Then you call it a mere want of imagination for a man to spend his money on his wife?
11052	Then you think if you had the cash you could fix it up all right with the Pope?
11052	They certainly do things with style over here-- but it''s kinder one- horse after New York, ai n''t it? 11052 They have n''t been taking it out of you about that, have they?"
11052	They wo n''t? 11052 Things going wrong again-- is that the trouble?"
11052	This week? 11052 Till General Arlington dies, you mean?
11052	To Switzerland, then? 11052 To be re- strung?"
11052	To feel badly? 11052 To tell Undine?
11052	To- night? 11052 Undie-- you did n''t see anybody-- I mean at the theatre?
11052	Undine and Moffatt? 11052 Undine asked him to dine?"
11052	Undine''s to be married next week, is n''t she?
11052	Undine, honour bright-- do you think he''ll marry you?
11052	Undine, listen: wo n''t you let me make it all right for you to stay?
11052	Undine-- what''s the matter?
11052	VULGAR?
11052	Warned her of what? 11052 Was n''t he ever TAUGHT to work?"
11052	Was n''t that a bad time to leave Wall Street?
11052	Was the cook got down to chaperon you?
11052	We''ll go up to Switzerland?
11052	Well, I-- That''s about the stiffest,he murmured; and as she made no answer he added:"Afraid I''ll ask to be introduced to your friend?"
11052	Well, did he?
11052	Well, how much have you made out of it? 11052 Well, that sounds aristocratic; but ai n''t it rather out of date?
11052	Well, what do you say to stopping at Lecceto on the way? 11052 Well, what''s the trouble with it?"
11052	Well, why not?
11052	Well, you''re not going, are you?
11052	Well-- I''ll stay a little mite longer if you want; and supposing I was to rub up your nails while we''re talking? 11052 Well-- and are you going to?
11052	Well-- doesn''t he prove it? 11052 Well-- don''t you know me yet?"
11052	Well-- now you''ve got your divorce: anybody else it would come in handy for?
11052	Well?
11052	Well?
11052	Were the old people there? 11052 What CAN he say?"
11052	What Popple? 11052 What can such women know about anything?"
11052	What did Lili tell you to tell me?
11052	What did you and he talk about when you were smoking?
11052	What difference does that make?
11052	What do I care, in a one- horse place like this? 11052 What do you call the end?"
11052	What do you call the weak point?
11052	What do you call''making it all right''? 11052 What do you mean by a good stroke of business?
11052	What do you mean by what I''ve said?
11052	What do you mean by''something different''?
11052	What does it matter what I do or do n''t do, when Ralph has ordered me home next week?
11052	What does it mean?
11052	What earthly good will that do me?
11052	What is it you want, Undine? 11052 What is it you wanted to say?"
11052	What is it, dear? 11052 What is it, my dear?"
11052	What is it? 11052 What made you do it?"
11052	What makes you think he did?
11052	What on earth is it, then-- except that you''re ashamed of me, one way or another?
11052	What on earth''s the matter?
11052	What sort of a thing?
11052	What the devil is SHE cabling you about?
11052	What was the name of the first nurse?
11052	What was the understanding between you, when you left Europe last August to go out to Dakota?
11052	What''s said of her?
11052	What''s the day of the week?
11052	What''s the good of Oh Abner- ing? 11052 What''s the matter-- anything wrong down town?"
11052	What''s the matter? 11052 What''s the matter?
11052	What''s the matter? 11052 What''s the matter?"
11052	What''s the mystery? 11052 What''s the use of encouraging him to speak of her when he''s never to see her?
11052	What''s the use of saying such things?
11052	What''s this about Paul?
11052	What-- lend you a hand? 11052 What-- the heirloom you used to eat your porridge out of?"
11052	What? 11052 When has n''t one to think of it, in my situation?
11052	Where are you off to?
11052	Where did that necklace come from?
11052	Where is she-- out?
11052	Where on earth did your brother pick up anybody respectable? 11052 Where was it you ran across him-- out at Apex?"
11052	Where''s the victim of my vulgarity? 11052 Where''s your trouble, then?"
11052	Who DOES he belong to, anyhow?
11052	Who did, then?
11052	Who got him when you were divorced? 11052 Who knows?
11052	Who told you it was a tea?
11052	Who told you? 11052 Who''s that?
11052	Who''s the funny man with the red face talking to Miss Spragg?
11052	Who''s the lady over there-- fair- haired, in white-- the one who''s just come in with the red- faced man? 11052 Who''s the man?
11052	Who''s the solemn person with Mamma? 11052 Who''s there?
11052	Who''s your friend-- an Ambassador or a tailor?
11052	Who? 11052 Who?
11052	Why SHOULD she? 11052 Why ca n''t they leave me alone?"
11052	Why ca n''t you answer? 11052 Why did he come to YOU about it?"
11052	Why did n''t you let me know you were still in town?
11052	Why do n''t he tell you so himself? 11052 Why do n''t you get him back, then?"
11052	Why do n''t you take your mother out shopping a little?
11052	Why do you never come to see me? 11052 Why is mother married to Mr. Moffatt now?"
11052	Why not say:''That''s like you?'' 11052 Why not?
11052	Why not? 11052 Why not?"
11052	Why not?
11052	Why on earth are you staring at me like that? 11052 Why on earth did we ever leave Apex, then?"
11052	Why should n''t I? 11052 Why should n''t she have heard my name?
11052	Why should she, when she knows nothing about it?
11052	Why so pale and sad, fair cousin? 11052 Why, Elmer-- marry you?
11052	Why, I thought you were going home next week?
11052	Why, I understood as much...Ralph pushed on:"You knew it the day I met you in Mr. Spragg''s office?"
11052	Why, Paul Marvell, do n''t you remember your own father, you that bear his name?
11052	Why, do n''t you s''pose he BOUGHT it for her, Mrs. Heeny? 11052 Why, do you know the Marvells?
11052	Why, do you mean to say you know him, Indiana?
11052	Why, hullo, old chap-- why, what''s up?
11052	Why, let me see: has n''t Dakota been a state a year or two now?
11052	Why, she is one, ai n''t she?
11052	Why, what else do you expect me to feel? 11052 Why, what on earth are you doing down here?"
11052	Why, what''s the matter? 11052 Why, what''s wrong, dear?
11052	Why, what''s wrong? 11052 Why, what''s wrong?"
11052	Why? 11052 Will you trust me with your present for the boy?"
11052	Wish you''d dine with me some evening at my club; and, as Ralph murmured a vague acceptance:"How''s that boy of yours, by the way?"
11052	With ME?
11052	With your reputation? 11052 Without consulting you?
11052	Without your having to pay?
11052	Wo n''t you take just a sup of milk before you go to bed?
11052	Would n''t it be a happy thought to tell them to bring tea?
11052	YOU do n''t? 11052 Yes; but WHY?
11052	Yes; but supposing things went wrong?
11052	You DID? 11052 You could n''t lend me the money-- manage to borrow it for me, I mean?"
11052	You could n''t make time to do it yourself, I suppose?
11052	You could n''t? 11052 You did n''t know?
11052	You have n''t got the nerve?
11052	You invited the whole dinner- party, I suppose?
11052	You mean she''s out-- she''s not in the house?
11052	You mean that I''M the bore, then?
11052	You mean that the first thing to do is to find out what she''s up to?
11052	You mean that what he wants is the influence of a home like ours? 11052 You mean they do n''t want to go round with her?
11052	You mean they''ve lost their money? 11052 You mean you might sell the property to him?"
11052	You mean you want me to go round and hire a box for you?
11052	You mean you''ve asked-- you''ve consulted--?
11052	You refuse, then?
11052	You rushed off where, may I ask?
11052	You seen Elmer again?
11052	You sent for him?
11052	You want to be put onto something good in a damned hurry?
11052	You went without knowing his parents, and without their inviting you? 11052 You wo n''t have that reset?"
11052	You wonderful woman-- how did you do it? 11052 You would n''t?
11052	You''d like that, would n''t you?
11052	You''d love that, would n''t you? 11052 You''re LIVING in New York, then-- you''re going to live here right along?"
11052	You''re glad, then?
11052	You''re not going to write a book HERE?
11052	You''ve just come from the studio?
11052	You?
11052	Your friend''s divorced?
11052	''Will you ALLOW your daughter to dine with me?''
11052	A broker?"
11052	A woman who''s in love with another woman''s husband?
11052	ANYBODY YOU DIDN''T WANT TO SEE?"
11052	ARE you dining with him?"
11052	Ai n''t he always been ahead of the game?"
11052	Ai n''t you ever heard of ancestral jewels, Mrs. Spragg?
11052	And I''ve got a lot saved up-- money of my own, I mean...""Your own?"
11052	And YOU promise, Elmer?"
11052	And dear Laura-- was she well too, and was Paul with her, or still with his grandmother?
11052	And from something Mr. Popple said to her about going to one of the new plays, she thought--""How on earth do you know what I thought?"
11052	And it made no earthly difference to him at the time?"
11052	And my mother-- and my grandfather?
11052	And now--?
11052	And once the hotel bills were paid, what would be left for the journey back to Paris, the looming expenses there, the price of the passage to America?
11052	And what about his trips to Dijon?
11052	And what did he see?
11052	And what do they know of drawing- rooms, anyhow?
11052	And what do you suppose he does with himself when he runs up to Paris?
11052	And what''s the result-- how do the women avenge themselves?
11052	And whose fault is that?
11052	And why do you suppose they never invite you to dine?
11052	And why in the world should it upset her?"
11052	And why not-- when the book was done?
11052	And, since he had n''t made a success of it after all, why should n''t he turn back to literature and try to write his novel?
11052	Anybody been saying anything against me?"
11052	Are THEY stylish?"
11052	Are n''t you ever the least bit bored?
11052	Are they all upstairs with my grandfather?
11052	Are they as swell as the Driscolls and Van Degens?"
11052	As far as Venice, anyhow; and then in August there''s Trouville-- you''ve never tried Trouville?
11052	As to travel-- had not Raymond and his wife been to Egypt and Asia Minor on their wedding- journey?
11052	At the old stand still?"
11052	At their dinners?
11052	At this hour?
11052	Because her son wants to marry me?"
11052	Besides, to whom else could he look for help?
11052	Bowen?
11052	But could this be a proper model for Mrs. Spragg?
11052	But how long would their virgin innocence last?
11052	But how on earth can I be ready?
11052	But how''ll mother know what to say?"
11052	But is it a bargain-- fair and square?
11052	But shall I tell you what I think, my dear?
11052	But the fact is I''m unhappy-- and a little hurt--""Unhappy?
11052	But then Mrs. Marvell''s gowns are almost as good as her looks-- and how can you expect the other women to stand for such a monopoly?"
11052	But there was no threat-- there was scarcely more than a note of dull curiosity-- in the voice with which he said:"You mean to talk?"
11052	But they have n''t all got sisters, have they?
11052	But was not that merely the sign of a quicker response to the world''s manifold appeal?
11052	But we''ll get old Popp, and Mrs.--, Mrs.--, what''d you say your fat friend''s name was?
11052	But what could I do?
11052	But what if she was to get nervous and lonesome, and want to go after him?"
11052	But what''s mine going to be for months and months?
11052	But why do you let her coop you up here?
11052	But why, he asked, why allude before others to feelings so few could understand?
11052	But why?
11052	But you say you want to make a quick turn- over?
11052	By countermanding a tiara?"
11052	Ca n''t you guess how they treat me from the way they''ve acted to you and mother?"
11052	Ca n''t you see the sort of woman who''d love his sort of play?"
11052	Can we go right through to St. Moritz?
11052	Can you put up fifty?"
11052	Certainly it was an odd coincidence that Moffatt should have called while she was there..."What did he want?"
11052	Claud Walsingham Popple-- the portrait painter?"
11052	Could it be that next week was not yet here?
11052	Could it be that the hand now adorned with Ralph''s engagement ring had once, in this very spot, surrendered itself to the riding- master''s pressure?
11052	Could n''t her father understand that nice girls, in New York, did n''t regard getting married like going on a buggy- ride?
11052	Could n''t she even go round as much as she does now?"
11052	Cut the gentleman when we meet?
11052	Did he suppose she was marrying for MONEY?
11052	Did he tell you that?"
11052	Did he want to throw her straight back into the Lipscomb set, to have her marry a dentist and live in a West Side flat?
11052	Did n''t Abner E. Spragg tell you he''d seen me down town?"
11052	Did n''t I offer him enough?"
11052	Did n''t he see it was all a question, now and here, of the kind of people she wanted to"go with"?
11052	Did n''t he tell you so?
11052	Did n''t you know?
11052	Did n''t you know?"
11052	Did n''t you see in the papers that Indiana''d fixed it up with James J. Rolliver to marry her?
11052	Did n''t you tell him I was out?"
11052	Did n''t you think of going to the Adirondacks?"
11052	Did not the worshipper always heap the rarest essences on the altar of his divinity?
11052	Did she ever think of it at all?...
11052	Did you ever know such luck?"
11052	Did you speak to him?"
11052	Did you suppose Hubert''s creditors would be put off with vanilla eclairs?"
11052	Did you?"
11052	Differently?
11052	Divorce without a lover?
11052	Do n''t people generally come here earlier?"
11052	Do n''t they generally call it desertion?"
11052	Do n''t you feel well?"
11052	Do n''t you know what that sort of thing means out here?
11052	Do n''t you see Mr. Marvell over there?
11052	Do n''t you see that''s what I hate, and will never let myself be dragged into again?"
11052	Do n''t you want him to know you''re here?"
11052	Do n''t you want me to speak to you?"
11052	Do you go round a great deal with the American set?"
11052	Do you know where her people come from?
11052	Do you know, I think there''s something very beautiful about the Roman Catholic religion?
11052	Do you mean anybody I know?
11052	Do you mean she does n''t want me to call?"
11052	Do you suppose I''d let him talk to me about such things?
11052	Do you suppose they ever ask themselves that?
11052	Do you want to succeed to half the chorus- world of New York?"
11052	Domestic bliss, I suppose?
11052	Fairford''s?"
11052	For a moment his throat contracted as it had when he had tried to question his sister; then he asked:"Where''s Undine?"
11052	From the fireplace she turned to add--"if we had n''t been saying good- bye?"
11052	Got him with you?"
11052	HE reproaches me for that?
11052	Had Undine at last lost her power of wounding him?
11052	Had he not expected too much at first, and grown too indifferent in the sequel?
11052	Had n''t he better call up the Malibran?
11052	Had n''t we better begin at once?
11052	Had the Dagonet boundaries really narrowed, or had the breach in the walls of his own life let in a wider vision?
11052	Had the other fellow done him a good turn any time?"
11052	Had they not spent days and days in the saddle, and slept in tents among the Arabs?
11052	Hallo, Charles-- have you been celebrating too?"
11052	Has he been misbehaving himself?"
11052	Have n''t they finished yet?"
11052	Have n''t they got the means to have a home of their own?"
11052	Have n''t you had enough of trying for him yet?"
11052	Have you accepted?"
11052	Have you any idea what a dinner- dress costs in New York--?"
11052	Have you never been to Paris before?"
11052	Have you told her we''re engaged?"
11052	Having a lover, I suppose-- like the women in these nasty French plays?
11052	He admires you so tremendously; and I thought--""You''ll do as I ask, please-- won''t you?"
11052	He ca n''t forbid that, can he?
11052	He had to go through a laborious process of readjustment to find out what it had to say.... Twelve o''clock.... Should he turn back to the office?
11052	He knew he could count on half the amount from his grandfather; could possibly ask Fairford for a small additional loan-- but what of the rest?
11052	He made no rejoinder, but presently asked:"Who''s that you''re waving to?"
11052	He pushed her through the swinging doors, and added with a laugh, as they reached the street:"You''re not afraid of being seen with me, are you?
11052	He regained his balance and said:"Would n''t a couple of good orchestra seats do you?"
11052	He said it almost as Popple might have said"A DENTIST?"
11052	He stood still in the middle of the room, casting a slow pioneering glance about its gilded void; then he said gently:"Well, mother?"
11052	He supposed he must have been worrying about the unfinished piece of work at the office: where was it, by the way, he wondered?
11052	He''ll tell you he''s giving me the picture-- but what do you suppose this cost?"
11052	He''s marrying an American?"
11052	Heard of a soft thing that wo n''t wait, I presume?
11052	Heeny?"
11052	Heeny?"
11052	Her colour deepened, but she instantly rejoined:"Why, what happened?
11052	Her sole graces, her unaided personality, had worked the miracle; how should she not trust in them hereafter?
11052	Here was the evening nearly over, and what had it led to?
11052	How can I help it if I do n''t look like the cure''s umbrella?
11052	How could he have given way to the provocation of her weakness, when his business was to defend her from it and lift her above it?
11052	How could he have wasted his time in thinking of anything else while that central difficulty existed?
11052	How had it happened, whither would it lead, how long could it last?
11052	How in the world can she have her marriage annulled?"
11052	How much does he let her share in the real business of life?
11052	How much does he rely on her judgment and help in the conduct of serious affairs?
11052	How on earth can I be mistaken?"
11052	How should they receive me?
11052	How soon can you be ready to start?"
11052	How''d they expect her fair young life to pass?
11052	How''s the bride?
11052	How, for instance, was he to meet the cost of their ruinous suite at the Engadine Palace while he awaited Mr. Spragg''s next remittance?
11052	Hurt?"
11052	I do n''t believe they''ve even called on mother this year, have they?
11052	I do n''t suppose you ever thought you''d see them here?"
11052	I guess that''s the only good reason,"he concluded; and he added, looking at her with a smile:"It was what you were always after, was n''t it?"
11052	I hope you''ll come--""--TO DINE WITH ME TOO?"
11052	I suppose she''s too deep in dress- making to be called on?
11052	I suppose,"she added in an undertone,"we ca n''t give him your explanation for his wife''s having forgotten to come?"
11052	I tried to find out who you were the other day at the Motor Show-- no, where was it?
11052	I''m going to a big dinner at the Chauncey Ellings''--but you must be going there too, Ralph?
11052	I''ve had a talk with her-- didn''t she tell you?
11052	I''ve never stooped to spy on him....""And the women in your set-- I suppose it''s taken for granted they all do the same?"
11052	If Mrs. Van Degen did n''t go to restaurants, why had he supposed that SHE would?
11052	If a girl like Indiana Frusk could gain her end so easily, what might not Undine have accomplished?
11052	If we cared for women in the old barbarous possessive way do you suppose we''d give them up as readily as we do?
11052	In Popple''s society who would n''t forget the flight of time?"
11052	In a cab?"
11052	In a year?
11052	In some woman''s drawing- room or in their offices?
11052	In the Dagonet coffers?
11052	Is Mrs. Fairford peculiar?"
11052	Is he ill, or what''s happened?"
11052	Is it any one I know?"
11052	Is n''t Hubert ever going to pay back that money?"
11052	Is n''t everything all right?"
11052	Is n''t it queer?
11052	Is talking to a woman in that way one of the things you call decent and honourable?
11052	Is that his sister he''s with?"
11052	Is that it?"
11052	Is that it?"
11052	Is that the island we saw from Naples, where the artists go?"
11052	Is that what she means by''talking''?"
11052	Is this what they call their season?
11052	It ai n''t a business?"
11052	It is awfully late?
11052	It was really stupid of her father to have exceeded his instructions: why had he not done as she told him?...
11052	It''s worse than that--""What can be?"
11052	Just the same?"
11052	Left me?
11052	Lipscomb?
11052	Look round?
11052	Marry-- but whom, in the name of light and freedom?
11052	Marvell?"
11052	Mrs. Fairford presented an amazed silence to the rush of this tirade; but when she rallied it was to murmur:"And is Undine one of the exceptions?"
11052	New York''s not very friendly to strange girls, is it?
11052	Newport?
11052	No?
11052	Nobody meddles or makes trouble if you know the ropes?"
11052	Now do you see where we''re coming out?"
11052	Of what good were such encounters if they were to have no sequel?
11052	Of what use were youth and grace and good looks, if one drop of poison distilled from the envy of a narrow- minded woman was enough to paralyze them?
11052	Oh, Ralph, what''s the use of pretending?
11052	Oh, that YOU, Mrs. Lipscomb?
11052	Oh, you LIVE here, do you?
11052	On Undine''s assenting, the smile grew more alert and the lady continued:"I think you know my friend Sacha Adelschein?"
11052	One day when he was n''t feeling very well he thought to himself:''Would she act like that to ME if I was dying?''
11052	One of those five- barrelled shows at the Français?
11052	Or should they go a fortnight later, in a slow boat from Plymouth?
11052	Or that Harry Lipscomb had been"on the wrong side"of Wall Street?
11052	Paying my bills?
11052	Peter Van Degen does?"
11052	Playing''Holy City''on the melodeon, and knitting tidies for church fairs?"
11052	Politics?"
11052	Popple?"
11052	Popple?"
11052	Presently the older man asked:"How did you get acquainted with Moffatt?"
11052	Ralph Marvell?
11052	Ralph looked at her in surprise, and she continued:"Why do you suppose she''s suddenly made up her mind she must have Paul?"
11052	Raymond jealous of you?
11052	Remember that walk down Main Street?
11052	Rolliver?"
11052	Seen this morning''s Radiator?
11052	Sell Saint Desert?"
11052	Seven- o- nine-- got it?"
11052	Shall I go on?"
11052	Shall I send Harry over to tell him?"
11052	Shall it be the eleven train, dear?
11052	She answered with a shade of reproach:"Why do you say that?
11052	She approached Madame de Trezac effusively, and after an interchange of exclamations Undine heard her say"You know my friend Mrs. Marvell?
11052	She did not make the mistake of asking:"Then why do you never come?"
11052	She faltered the word after him:"Yes--?"
11052	She felt a flash of resentment at any other intruder''s venturing upon her territory--("Looty Arlington?
11052	She found a poignant pleasure, at this stage of her career, in the question:"What does a young girl know of life?"
11052	She freed her hand, and as she turned to go Paul heard Mr. Moffatt say:"Ca n''t you ever give him a minute''s time, Undine?"
11052	She listened intently to what he told her; then she said:"You tell me it will cost a great deal; but why take it to the courts at all?
11052	She made no answer, and Mr. Spragg continued:"Did your husband give them to you?"
11052	She made no answer, and he repeated irritably:"Why do n''t you call her?
11052	She nodded, and he added in a still lower tone:"I suppose I can congratulate you, anyhow?"
11052	She says she does it to save fires; but if we have a fire downstairs why ca n''t she let hers go out, and come down?
11052	She was silent, and he insisted:"Are you really thinking of marrying Chelles?"
11052	She''s married?
11052	Since she had not been"sure"of Van Degen, why in the world, they asked, had she thrown away a position she WAS sure of?
11052	Since wedding- journeys were the fashion, they had taken them; but who had ever heard of travelling afterward?
11052	So in one way your folks did me a good turn when they made Apex too hot for me: funny to think of, ai n''t it?"
11052	Spragg?"
11052	Stunning as ever?
11052	Suddenly he looked up and said:"Ai n''t you in love with the fellow, Undie?"
11052	Suppose we walk along a little ways?
11052	Surely you''re not thinking of getting married?"
11052	THAT was man''s province; and what did men go"down town"for but to bring back the spoils to their women?
11052	THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY by EDITH WHARTON 1913 THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY I"Undine Spragg-- how can you?"
11052	That ruled out too?
11052	That the size of it?"
11052	That the time had come when Elmer Moffatt-- the Elmer Moffatt of Apex!--could, even for a moment, cause consternation in the Driscoll camp?
11052	That you and I should do like the rest of''em?"
11052	That you do n''t want to give up what you''ve got?"
11052	That''s the idea, is it?
11052	That''s what I''d say if I was you... His father takes considerable stock in him, do n''t he?"
11052	That''s what they ought to charge for, ai n''t it, Popp?"
11052	The American man doesn''t-- the most slaving, self- effacing, self- sacrificing--?"
11052	The Fairfords and Marvells?
11052	The answer''s obvious, is n''t it?
11052	The money-- how on earth was he to pay it back?
11052	The next moment an angry suspicion flashed across her: what if the cable were a device of the Marvell women to bring her back?
11052	The one question she invariably asked:"You heard from Undie?"
11052	The one they hurried out when I came in?"
11052	The right man?
11052	The twinge it gave her prompted her to ask:"Do n''t you ever mean to get married?"
11052	The whole incident passed off so quickly and easily that within a few minutes she had settled down-- with a nod for his"Everything jolly again now?"
11052	Then he asked:"You say your husband goes with other women?"
11052	Then you KNOW him-- you''ve''met him?"
11052	There-- do I look white NOW?"
11052	They both smiled, and Paul, seeing his mother''s softened face, stole his hand in hers and began:"Mother, I took a prize in composition--""Did you?
11052	They look down on us-- can''t you see that?
11052	They walked on in silence, and presently he began again in his usual joking strain:"See what one of the Apex girls has been up to?"
11052	This discovery resulted in her holding her vivid head very high, and answering"I could n''t really say,"or"Is that so?"
11052	Those big chaps who blow about what they call realism-- how do THEIR portraits look in a drawing- room?
11052	To Mrs. Spragg this conveyed even less than to her daughter,"''way down there?
11052	To save her from Van Degen and Van Degenism: was that really to be his mission-- the"call"for which his life had obscurely waited?
11052	Undine asked eagerly; while Mrs. Spragg, impressed, but anxious for facts, pursued:"Does she reside on Fifth Avenue?"
11052	Undine heard Mrs. Fairford breathe to Mr. Bowen; who replied, at the same pitch:"It''s a Van Degen reason, is n''t it?"
11052	Undine''s gesture implied a"What indeed?"
11052	Undine-- do you know what you''re saying?"
11052	Undine-- what CAN we talk about?
11052	Undine?
11052	Undine?
11052	Undine?"
11052	WHY wo n''t seats do you?"
11052	Wait awhile?
11052	Was Van Degen her lover?
11052	Was he to wear his life out in useless drudgery?
11052	Was it going to be as dreary here as there?
11052	Was it her fault that she and the boy had been ill?
11052	Was it insolence or ignorance that had prompted Moffatt''s speech?
11052	Was it not what Moffatt had always said of himself-- that all he needed was time and elbow- room?
11052	Was it possible that he had ever thought leniently of the egregious Popple?
11052	Was it possible that he might become a"bother"less negligible than those he had relieved her of?
11052	Was it possible that the redoubtable element had prevailed?
11052	Was it really he who was speaking, and his cousin who was sending him back her dusky smile?
11052	Was it the Adelschein who made you go such lengths?"
11052	Was n''t it ever as hot as this in Apex?"
11052	Was that why you tried to cut me last night?"
11052	Was this a time to torment her about trifles?
11052	Was this fellow we''re supposing about under any obligation to the other party-- the one he was trying to buy the property from?"
11052	Was this to be the end?
11052	Well-- why not, again?
11052	What business is it of Laura Fairford''s?"
11052	What can he do, then?"
11052	What could be more delightful than to feel that, while all the women envied her dress, the men did not so much as look at it?
11052	What could be the possible object of leaving one''s family, one''s habits, one''s friends?
11052	What d''you know about him?"
11052	What d''you think of''em, by the way?
11052	What do I care how I shall feel in a year?"
11052	What do they want to know you for, I wonder?"
11052	What do you say to going down to Saint Desert?"
11052	What does she think refined, I''d like to know?
11052	What does she write about?"
11052	What else has he heard?"
11052	What if white paper were really newer than pigeon blood?
11052	What is Mr. Lipscomb''s occupation?"
11052	What is it they call you-- a Marquise?"
11052	What is it?"
11052	What is it?"
11052	What made you think I thought it was?"
11052	What on earth are you talking about?"
11052	What on earth can he say that''ll hurt HER?"
11052	What on earth could the people be doing-- what rarer delight could they be tasting?
11052	What on earth-- he did n''t come HERE?"
11052	What on earth--?"
11052	What right had Laura Fairford to preach to her of wifely obligations?
11052	What should she say to her father when he came back-- what argument was most likely to prevail with him?
11052	What sinister change came over her when her will was crossed?
11052	What the devil had he taken it out for?
11052	What was he laughing about?
11052	What was he talking about?
11052	What was the use of being beautiful and attracting attention if one were perpetually doomed to relapse again into the obscure mass of the Uninvited?
11052	What would it lead to?
11052	What''s Elmer to her?
11052	What''s happened?"
11052	What''s the matter with her mother?"
11052	What''s the matter, daughter?"
11052	What''s the matter, then?
11052	What''s the matter?"
11052	What''s the use of talking like that?"
11052	What''s up?"
11052	When did you come over?
11052	When she shone on him like that what did it matter what nonsense she talked?
11052	When you''re as white as a sheet?"
11052	When?
11052	Where are they?"
11052	Where did he find anything as good as that?"
11052	Where do you manage to hide yourself, chere Madame?
11052	Where does the real life of most American men lie?
11052	Where had she seen before this grotesque saurian head, with eye- lids as thick as lips and lips as thick as ear- lobes?
11052	Where to?"
11052	Where''d you say you were staying?
11052	Where''s your chaperon, Miss Spragg?"
11052	Which is he?"
11052	Who brought the boy, then?"
11052	Who can have put such a mad idea into your head?"
11052	Who cares what they do over here?
11052	Who is she?
11052	Who wants it about if it is n''t?
11052	Who''d have thought old Harry Lipscomb''d have put us onto anything as good as that?
11052	Why ca n''t we be married to- morrow, and escape all these ridiculous preparations?
11052	Why ca n''t you coax your mother to run over to Paris with you?
11052	Why ca n''t you say it right out?"
11052	Why did n''t the nurse take him?"
11052	Why do I never see anything of you any more?
11052	Why do n''t you answer?
11052	Why do n''t you go and kiss your new granny?"
11052	Why do n''t you sell it if it''s so fearfully expensive?"
11052	Why do n''t you send right over and get him?
11052	Why do they live with somebody else?
11052	Why do you all behave as if love were a secret infirmity?"
11052	Why do you call it that?"
11052	Why do you stand it?
11052	Why does SHE want me?
11052	Why does the European woman interest herself so much more in what the men are doing?
11052	Why had n''t they stayed in Apex, if that was all he thought she was fit for?
11052	Why have n''t we taught our women to take an interest in our work?
11052	Why indeed had she let herself be cooped up?
11052	Why not come back and have tea with me?"
11052	Why not give the money to Undine instead of to your lawyers?"
11052	Why not go south again-- say to Capri?"
11052	Why not telephone again?
11052	Why not, I''d like to know?"
11052	Why not?
11052	Why not?"
11052	Why on earth did he go and speculate?
11052	Why on earth did n''t the four of you fix it up together?"
11052	Why on earth did you let him come up?"
11052	Why on earth do n''t you cut it and come up to Paris?"
11052	Why should a woman like you be sacrificed when a lot of dreary frumps have everything they want?
11052	Why should n''t you believe me?
11052	Why should she have thought it necessary to give back the pearls to Van Degen?
11052	Why wo n''t you come and see me?
11052	Why wo n''t you let me straighten things out for you?"
11052	Why would n''t you?
11052	Why''s she afraid of Elmer Moffatt?"
11052	Why, have you seen him?
11052	Why, we read in the papers you were going to live in some grand hotel or other-- oh, they call their houses HOTELS, do they?
11052	Why, what can he do for you?"
11052	Why, what earthly difference will it make to YOU?"
11052	Why, what''s the matter?
11052	Why, what--?"
11052	Why, when are you sailing?"
11052	Will that lace thing do?
11052	With another man?"
11052	With my religion--""Why, you were born a Baptist, were n''t you?
11052	Wo n''t they give their fancy ball, then?"
11052	Would she consent to sail that very Saturday?
11052	XXVIII"What do you say to Nice to- morrow, dearest?"
11052	YOU''RE sorry?
11052	You MADE him?"
11052	You just ask me to pass the sponge over Elmer Moffatt of Apex City?
11052	You look about as old as you did when I first landed at Apex-- remember?"
11052	You must let me come and talk to you about it... About the picture or your hair?
11052	You say your wife was discontented?
11052	You see, Mr. Van Degen has seen you''round with me, and the very minute I asked him to come and dine he guessed--""He guessed-- and he would n''t?"
11052	You''ll see me?"
11052	You''re an American, ai n''t you?
11052	You''re buying jewels?"
11052	You''re not going to have one?
11052	You''re tired of travelling?
11052	Your Pa never--?
11052	Your decree gave him to you, did n''t it?
11052	Your marriage annulled?
11052	and answered:"Where from?"
11052	do you say to that?"
11052	he added earnestly:"How many more do you think there''ll be?"
11052	she said,"do you want to get into that again?
