720So you have seen it?
720Tell me,he said--"tell me, what have they done to you, your mother and that man?

720To- morrow?
720Tuan,he said,"you remember the girl that man Bulangi had?
720Well, Mr. Almayer, will you answer my question as frankly as it is put to you?
720Well, and then?
720Well, and what?
720What are the white men doing? 720 What are they up to now?

720What are you doing here?
720What did you hear?

720What is the ring you are talking about? 720 What is there to forgive?"
720What is your hate or your revenge to me?
720What news?
720What of her?
720What was all that noise just now?
720What woman?
720What''s that to you, to her, to anybody? 720 What''s that?"
720What? 720 What?
720What?
720Where are the white men?
720Where are you going to? 720 Where are you, Nina?"
720Where is he now?
720Where''s Mem Almayer?
720Who did that, or tried to do it?
720Who is there here for me to deceive, O Rajah?

720Who''s that hiding?
720Why do n''t you go to the Rajah?
720Why do you go back to those Dyaks in the great forest? 720 Why do you say this?

720Would a man willingly remain long in a dark place? 720 Yes,"said Babalatchi,"I am going over at once; and as to Dain?"
720You Abdulla?
720You will allow me to have this put upon the table?
720Alive yet?"
720Am I a Dyak that you should hide at my sight?"
720Am I?
720And all for what?
720And did you see how the white man himself ran away at the sight of the body?
720And if he did return to Sambir, disturbing thereby Lakamba''s peace of mind, what then?
720And if you had to come, why not go behind the curtain where the women sleep?"
720And now again I heard--""Where?"
720And what were the voices saying?
720And what will be my recompense?
720Are our hammocks slung?"
720Are you a slave?"
720Are you glad, little girl?"
720Are you pleased, O Tuan Almayer?
720Are you?"
720Bali, eh?
720Believe me, Rajah,"he went on, with sudden energy,"the Orang Blanda have good friends in Sambir, or else how did they know I was coming thence?"
720But how?
720But if it is n''t true what can we do?
720Can you go?"
720Can you not tell when a man is sleeping and when awake?"
720Could anything be more appalling?
720Could his ears hear only one woman''s voice?
720Could his eyes see only one woman''s image?
720Did he not pour a stream of silver into Mrs. Almayer''s greedy lap?
720Did he not say himself is that she was the light of his life?
720Did he not speak wisdom?
720Did they wish to kill him?
720Did you not see me struggling before your eyes?
720Do n''t you understand?
720Do you believe now?"
720Do you hear me?"
720Do you know that you shall be at first his plaything and then a scorned slave, a drudge, and a servant of some new fancy of that man?"
720Do you know what is waiting for you if you follow that man?
720Do you know where he is?
720Do you see those lights in the big house?
720Do you understand?
720Eh?"
720Girl, why do you want to remember the past when there is a warrior and a chief ready to give many lives-- his own life-- for one of your smiles?"
720Good, is it not?"
720Got bonies?
720Had he given any presents?
720Had he seen the Sultan?
720Have I not lived many years with that man?
720Have we not enough ghosts about this place?"
720Have you felt about you the strong arm that could drive a kriss deep into a beating heart?
720Have you forgotten the teaching of so many years?"
720Have you no pity for yourself?
720Have you no word of comfort for me?
720Have you not heard, then, and do you know nothing?"
720Have you watched the sleep of men weary of dealing death?
720Have you?"
720He waited for a while, and then added meaningly--"Shall I call out to Ali?"
720Hear it?"
720Her that caused all the trouble?"
720Here,"he went on, shaking him slightly,"do we want the boats?"
720How can I?
720How could I know that some of your wretched men were going to be blown up?
720How could he tell what an incomprehensible creature of that sort would or would not do?
720How could she make an outward and visible sign of all she felt for the man who had filled her heart with so much joy and so much pride?
720I am old-- that is true-- but why should I not like the sight of a young face and the sound of a young voice in my house?"
720I am waiting; why does he not come?"
720I bore the memory of my humiliation alone, and why should I tell you that it came to me because I am your daughter?
720If I was white would I stand here, ready to go?
720If dead, had he left any papers, documents; any indications or hints as to his great enterprise?
720In his ears there still lingered the sound of entreating whisper.--"Am I awake?--Why do I hear the voices?"
720Is everybody asleep in this house?"
720Is he not with the Rajah?
720Is it true?"
720Is that your cook?
720Is this not true also?
720It is easy to send out death, but can your wisdom recall the life?
720Master, see?
720No man can bear this; and is this the last, or will the next one be the last?--How much longer?
720Now, when the danger was past, why should she grieve?
720Of her who was the regret and shame of your life?
720One day he noticed her and asked,"Who is that girl?"
720Opium, you mean?"
720Reshid looked at her a while before he asked--"Are you going to Almayer''s house?
720Say something, Nina; have you no sympathy?
720See?"
720Shall I live long enough to see?
720Shall I not believe my eyes sooner than the tongues of women and idle men?"
720She turned her head slightly towards her father, and, speaking, to his great surprise, in English, asked--"Was that Abdulla here?"
720The white men want with Dain?
720Then I saw that you could not understand me; for was I not part of that woman?
720There was a slight rustle behind the curtained doorway, and a soft voice asked in Malay,"Is it you, father?"
720Tuan Almayer,"he went on, lowering his voice,"have you seen Dain this morning?"
720Was he a wild man to hide in the woods and perhaps be killed there-- in the darkness-- where there was no room to breathe?
720Was he alive or dead?
720Was he going mad?
720Was he going to be tormented for ever, sleeping or waking, and have no peace either night or day?
720Was he not now her master?
720Was her revenge to fail her?
720Was it ready?
720Was there a paddle in her canoe?
720What am I to protect great princes?
720What are they?
720What bewitched you?
720What can you do?
720What could a girl want more?"
720What did it matter?
720What did it matter?
720What did she care for all that?
720What did she want?
720What did the Arabs want to know about the white men?
720What did the Sultan say?
720What did you come out for?"
720What do you call my mother, your wife?"
720What do you care?
720What do you want from me, Tuan?
720What do you want now?
720What do you want with Lakamba?"
720What have I been?
720What have you been telling her?
720What have you ever done to make me loyal?
720What if he should let the memory of his love for her weaken the sense of his dignity?
720What if that man should take umbrage at some fancied slight to his honour or disregard of his affections and suddenly"amok"?
720What is it?
720What is life to me without light?"
720What is the bravery of the greatest warrior before the firearms in the hand of a slave?
720What is the matter?"
720What is this sudden madness?
720What is your business with me, after all?"
720What made you give yourself up to that savage?
720What was the matter with her?
720What was the meaning of this?
720What was there in her?
720What was there in that being to make a man speak as Dain had spoken, to make him blind to all other faces, deaf to all other voices?
720What would he buy?
720What would he sell?
720What would she think of him?
720What''s that?"
720What?
720What?"
720When did you leave them?"
720When will you come?
720Where is this Dain?"
720Where was the key?
720Where was the use to wonder at the decrees of Fate, especially if they were propitious to the True Believers?
720Which of you is the man?"
720Who can tell in the fitful light of a camp fire?
720Who ever gave anything for me?
720Who ever heard of a corpse appearing during the night amongst the logs with gold anklets on its legs?
720Who ran away?
720Who spoke the Malay words?
720Why are you angry with me?
720Why count?
720Why did Dain remain so long absent?
720Why did she not help?
720Why do n''t you hang me?"
720Why do you come to my house in the night?
720Why do you speak bad words?
720Why does he not die and end this suffering?
720Why does n''t he cut his throat?
720Why not?
720Why should there be strife?
720Why should we bury a stranger in the midst of our houses for his ghost to frighten our women and children?
720Why too late-- and too late for what?
720Why was she so late?
720Why were you so blind?
720Why?
720Why?
720Why?"
720Will Tuan Dain go to Bulangi''s house till the danger is over, go at once?
720Will he be displeased?
720Will you obey?"
720Would he not allay their fears for his safety, not for themselves?
720Would n''t that be worse than death itself?
720Would she come?
720Would the Rajah see that trusty men manned the canoe?
720Would the current carry it north or south?
720You hear me?
720You shall live a life of lies and deception till some other vagabond comes along to sing; how did you say that?
720You think there is one dead man here?
720You understand?
720Your eyes that for me were like truth itself lied to me in every glance-- for how long?
720can you see?"
720he argued to himself, hazily.--"I can not get rid of the horrible nightmare yet.--I have been very drunk.--What is that shaking me?
720he called out;"what is the matter there?
720how much longer?
720ver''you gome vrom?
720what about the dinner?
