38005And where are the luminous streaks of the far- off land?
38005And why did you want to see me quite near, little princess with the wings?
38005And why, dear father,whispered Psyche, secretly,"has Emeralda a heart of ruby?..."
38005And would Emeralda permit me to sue for her love and her hand?
38005And you, wise Astra, Royal Highness of the Star, will you, like Emeralda, allow me to sue for your hand and heart?

38005Behind us, under us...."Why did you not descend sooner?
38005Behind us...."But I do not see them.... Have we passed them without my seeing them? 38005 But Psyche, do you know what it is?"
38005But first tell me: why are you here and sleeping by the Sphinx?
38005But if they go to dust, of what value are they?
38005But tell me, Psyche, what conditions do you impose upon me?

38005How far and how wide is the widest sphere?
38005I do n''t quite know, my child...."Why have I wings, and Astra a living star upon her head, and Emeralda eyes of jewels?
38005I see wood and meadow, towns and mountains.... Is the world, then, the same everywhere? 38005 I was, long ago....""Your eyes glow: have you a fever?"

38005Is little Psyche ill?

38005No, Psyche, I am not a king, and that Land...."--And that Land...?
38005No...."Chimera, is that the land of happiness? 38005 No....""Do you hear nothing?"
38005No...."Then it is gone...."Whither?
38005No...."Why not?
38005Not now...."When, then?
38005Princess, what is it?
38005Psyche,said he, gently,"will the Sphinx give me an answer to my question this morning?"
38005Should she go back?
38005So soon? 38005 Splendid, beautiful horse,"said Psyche,"who are you?"
38005Tell me, Psyche, what is the matter?
38005The night is dark, Astra: there are few stars in the sky, and the torches are not yet lit...."No? 38005 Then why do n''t you remain in the wood, devil, she- devil?"
38005There is another kingdom...."What kingdom?

38005What, Psyche?
38005What, little Psyche?
38005What...? 38005 Where am I?"
38005Where are you going?
38005Where are you going?
38005Where do you come from? 38005 Where do you come from?"
38005Where do you wish to go?
38005Where is she? 38005 Where is she?"
38005Where is the land of silver light, the land of the people of light? 38005 Where?"
38005Where?
38005Whither are you going?
38005Who am I? 38005 Who are you?"
38005Who are you?
38005Who are you?
38005Who comes there?
38005Who compels you, O powerful horse, quick as lightning?...
38005Who could love him, and not weep over him?
38005Who could see the Chimera and not love him more than me?
38005Who lays the task upon you, witch, devil?
38005Who speaks there?
38005Who will tell me where Psyche is?
38005Why do you fly from one end to the other, O splendid Chimera? 38005 Why have you called me, little princess?"
38005Will he come again? 38005 Will you always stay with me, little Psyche?
38005Will you hold fast to my neck?
38005Will your Majesty not permit me to ask for the hand and heart of your third daughter, the princess?
38005Wo n''t you just see them?
38005Yes, will you go thither?
38005Am I dead, or do I live?
38005Am I dead...?
38005And so she only stammered:"None, prince....""Could you love me?"
38005And still much more, O Psyche, I ask the Sphinx, that I will not tell you now, because....""Because...?"
38005And what are nymphs?
38005And what is going on around me?
38005And what is the viol that is playing?
38005And where are you taking me to, Chimera?
38005Are the torches not yet lit?
38005Are these the fore- spheres of the farthest sphere...?
38005Are those groves of light, cities of light, in a land of light?
38005Are those spheres?
38005Are you going to ascend higher, higher still?
38005Are you not thirsty?
38005Are you not tired, and never dizzy and cold?
38005Are you seeking here for the Jewel, or the Glass that magnifies?"
38005But if she loves you, then I will give her up to you, for then she will be happy....""Tell me, Psyche, will you be my wife?"
38005But may I suffer it with you?
38005But no lands of light.... And yet there, in the distance, very far away-- what is that, Chimera?
38005But tell me, who am I now, and what am I?
38005But we are always very merry and sociable together; but you must come once....""Are you going?"
38005But why are you now spreading out your wings?"
38005But why this restless flying from East to West, from West to East?"
38005But yet... there, behind the horizon, behind the sand of the desert, is a dazzling scene.... Are those silver grottos on a sea of light?
38005But your wings I do not feel.... Have you none now?
38005But... no.... Is that trouble?
38005CHAPTER VIII"Psyche, where do you wish to go?"
38005Can grief... be happiness in the Present?"
38005Can you not go faster?
38005Chimera, are you king there?"
38005Chimera, is that the rainbow?"
38005Chimera, what are those circles all round us, the splendour of which makes me giddy?
38005Chimera, where are you going so high?
38005Could not everything be possible?
38005Did she hear aright?
38005Do I not shine like a light?
38005Do n''t you know anything about it?"
38005Do they get wider and wider?
38005Do we remain there together?"
38005Do you dare, Psyche?"
38005Do you never, never rest?
38005Do you see anything?"
38005Do you see those distant regions yonder, of silver and opal?
38005Do you still see its faint splendour between my grey hair?
38005Does not Psyche feel happy?"
38005Does she long for the Chimera?"
38005Does the light there wave like water?
38005Eros, do I love you out of gratitude and respect, my husband and my king...?"
38005Eros, do you love me?
38005For what are flowers, men, the stars?
38005Had he not followed the track of her tears?
38005Have they been cut off?
38005Have you found the Mystery of the Godhead, and,"--Do you rule with me the Universe and God?"
38005He had forsaken her.... Why...?
38005He smiled, and she said:"Why do you come here in the desert?
38005Here in the desert?"
38005How dare you?
38005How long did we travel...?
38005How long have I slept?
38005I am old, but you-- are you still young?
38005I have trusted, hoped, given my soul in happiness.... Is happiness then punished?
38005I will go down into Hell; I will seek.... Shall I find?
38005Is it dark about me?
38005Is it good to be what we have to be?
38005Is it not good to hope, to trust, and to love?
38005Is it not true?"
38005Is that Paradise?"
38005Is that a black star?"
38005Is that happiness?
38005Is that the kingdom of happiness?
38005Is that the land of happiness, and are you the king?"
38005Is that the rainbow?
38005Is that the way through circles to... the....?
38005Is that water, or air, or light?
38005Is the night dark?
38005Is the night too dark?
38005Is there then sadness in my kingdom?
38005Is this the happiness of the Present?
38005May I not leave her any more, alone by the brook?"
38005My God, what have I done?
38005Naked she stood before Emeralda, and said:"Emeralda, do n''t you recognise me?
38005O Chimera, where are you taking me to?
38005O father, father, why have you left me?
38005Oh, why are you going so soon, splendid Chimera?"
38005On the purple strand I see a town of light, palaces of light, gates of light.... Do beings of light dwell there...?
38005Or have I seen him for the first and last time?"
38005Or is it not the horizon?
38005Ought I then to have mistrusted and hated?
38005Poor sister, are you blind?
38005Psyche, dear Psyche, listen: shall I tell you something....?
38005Put me down somewhere.... Can you not rest with me in a beautiful valley, amongst flowers, near a brook?
38005She saw someone coming; along every winding of the brook, she saw someone approaching.... Who was it coming there?
38005Spider, were it not more human to love, to live, and even to sin, than to weave web upon web?
38005Surely you will rest here with me in the soft violet night and amongst the blue flowers?
38005Tell me why?
38005Tell me, Chimera, do people of light live there?
38005Tell me, do you forgive me for that?"
38005Tell me, have you any wish that I can satisfy?
38005Tell me, what do you see?"
38005Tell me, would n''t you like to see them?"
38005Tell me, ye wise men of the land-- tell me, Astra, my sister, does the Jewel exist?"
38005That, that was her great grief-- that, that made her think, what were they for, those wings on her shoulders?
38005The nymphs find your wings pretty, but what do you want with things that are pretty, yet of no use whatever?
38005The....""The...?"
38005Then after weeks... after months, perhaps, you will see me again in the air....""You will forsake me?
38005Then he said to her, gently:"Your Highness is called Psyche?
38005Then she turned to a saleswoman and asked:"What is the feast for?"
38005Was she dreaming?
38005Was the answer not always more distinct and unchangeable?
38005We are going to the South, and Prince Bacchus is seeking for you.... What are you doing here, and why are you crouching down and weeping?
38005What are Bacchantes?
38005What are you for?"
38005What are you yourself for?
38005What are you?
38005What are you?"
38005What could Emeralda do to her to make her afraid?
38005What did the shepherds know of Emeralda?
38005What do I ask?
38005What do you know of soul and life and power?
38005What do you mean?
38005What do you say, Chimera?"
38005What do you see?
38005What has happened?
38005What have I done?
38005What is a Satyr?
38005What is that I see on the horizon?
38005What is that beautiful country?
38005What is their life there in the wood?
38005What is your object?
38005What land is that?
38005What round things are falling over my fingers?"
38005What strange element is this?
38005When shall I see him again, and when shall I soar again...?
38005Whence?
38005Where are the limits?"
38005Where are the opal islands?"
38005Where is it gone?"
38005Where is she?"
38005Whither shall I flee?
38005Whither?
38005Whither?
38005Whither?
38005Whither??
38005Whither??
38005Who are going up with us-- ethereal faces, ethereal forms?
38005Who is the Sphinx?
38005Who is there to love me now?
38005Who knows?"
38005Why did she not tell it?
38005Why do you punish me so?
38005Why is everything so dazzlingly bright about us?
38005Why was she not afraid?
38005Will the Future not prove to be a delusion...?"
38005Will you hear them?
38005Will you not graze and lie in a meadow?
38005Will your Majesty permit me to kneel and pay my homage to you as an obedient vassal?"
38005With me you will refresh yourself with dates and water?
38005Would the castle, the Babel of pinnacles, the town of towers remain ever inaccessibly high in the clouds?
38005You are safe here, are you not?
38005You have come to bring me jewels?"
38005You have come to bring me jewels?"
38005You will let me sleep in the shadow of your wings, and watch over me during the dreadful night?"
38005a Satyr?
38005are you blind?"
38005had he not found her in the arms of the Sphinx?"
38005had she not trod a paradise, the sweet Present, the adorable garden of a moment, so little and so short in duration?
38005said Psyche,"born in the moss, withering when you are plucked, what do you know of gods and mortals?
38005said he,"what are you doing here, so far away from all of us?
38005she whispered, trembling,"why have you gone?
38005where is Psyche?"
38005who to protect me now in the world?
38005wo n''t you just see me dance again?"
27425''And can you live comfortably on it, Captain?'' 27425 ''And it never occurred to you, my lord, that there might be a danger in leaving me ignorant of your marriage?''
27425''And where will you go, what will you do?'' 27425 ''Do you like reading?''
27425''Francis must be a big boy now; what are you going to make of him?'' 27425 ''Major,''he said,''what are you thinking of?
27425''Then that story of yours about an inheritance was a pure invention?'' 27425 ''What can I think of you when I hear from other people that you are married?''
27425''What does that matter? 27425 ''What is the matter with you, Miss Francis?''
27425A stranger here?
27425And are you sorry I am going away?
27425And did the king do nothing for the daughters?
27425And do you know for what purpose this money was required?
27425And has Miss Mordaunt been married since?
27425And how did the party pass off for Miss Mordaunt in that curious dress?
27425And if she refuses to come?
27425And now?
27425And the gentlemen-- no doubt they reciprocated her nonchalance?
27425And was it contrary to your intentions to cause my grandfather the shock which led to his death?
27425And what did she read?
27425And where shall we go?
27425And why did you not send me word immediately?
27425And why not, Francis? 27425 And why should it be impossible, Francis?"
27425And you have never since heard a word of Miss Roselaer?
27425And you have never since heard of this''My lord?''
27425And you?
27425And you?
27425And, in the name of goodness, for whom?
27425And-- am I then no longer contemptible in your eyes, Francis? 27425 Apropos the service you came to ask of me-- the strap?"
27425Are the women so much our superiors in this respect?
27425Are they real ones, Rudolf?
27425Are you afraid Jonker van Zonshoven will not observe how great your merits as quartermaster are? 27425 At his age, by what means?"
27425Aunt Sophia,repeated the General;"had the d''Hermaeles the foresight to make Sophia Roselaer godmother to one of their children?"
27425Because of Rudolf?
27425But Francis is your only grandchild-- or stay, I have heard you had a son, General; has he children?
27425But let us suppose it to be true; what would your answer be?
27425But why can not Rudolf share mine?
27425But you do not need her permission to sell the Castle?
27425But you, who are so proud, how can you suppose that a man will consent to be protected by a woman?
27425But, Leopold, what are you thinking of?
27425But, madame,interposed Overberg, evidently growing angry,"do you mean to say you suspect the impartiality of the magistrate?"
27425But, my dear, who told you I had come to show myself here? 27425 But, you foolish girl, why do n''t you seek a reconciliation with your Cousin van Zonshoven?
27425By heavens, Francis, what do you mean by such a question? 27425 By the way, Leopold, what hour is your carriage ordered for?"
27425By the way, nephew, what has become of the six other Miss d''Hermaeles, your mother''s sisters?
27425By whom? 27425 Can Rolf have done it?"
27425Can you be so hard- hearted, Francis?
27425Did you think me such a fool, Francis, as to assist you in your insane idea?
27425Do you imagine I have no eyes? 27425 Do you imagine, then, that I have no taste at all, because I have put on this shaggy cloak to protect me from the east winds?"
27425Do you know any such people here?
27425Do you know what you must do, Rolf? 27425 Do you think it a light charge for me, in my position, to bring up a child, and provide for its mother whom I have sent to a private asylum?"
27425Do you think the news will be agreeable to her?
27425Even after she had received the packet from me?
27425Francis,he cried,"why did you stay out so long when I have such good news to tell you?"
27425Had he also the beak?
27425Have I been a burden to you, Francis?
27425Have you a strap amongst your luggage which I can use as a riding- whip? 27425 Here, into my room?"
27425How are we to understand that remark, madame?
27425How so?
27425I advised you to stay,replied the Captain;"why need you go off in such a hurry?"
27425I have made the same calculation, General, and it is for this reason----"You do n''t come to talk to me about family affairs, I hope?
27425I saw he grew pale, but he answered with great coldness--''Has Sir John only just told you that?
27425I think I have the best right to question you, and to ask who you are?
27425I?
27425I?
27425In which category must I put you? 27425 Is it a long walk?"
27425Is it possible you are not disengaged?
27425Is it then only a whim of Major Frank, who will surrender to no man, but prefers his savage kind of independence?
27425Is it, then, such a difficult matter?
27425Is n''t it so, grandfather?
27425Is she deformed? 27425 It could be done privately-- as in the case of the farms?
27425Leo, what are you doing?
27425Lord William is dead,she went on;"will you read this letter addressed to me, together with a copy of his will?"
27425May I help you with a word it seems to cost you trouble to pronounce? 27425 Miss Mordaunt promised me an interview; is it strange that I should seize the first occasion that offers?"
27425Need you ask me that, Francis? 27425 Not now,"she cried;"what good would it do?
27425Now, what do you say to this?
27425Oh, I bear you no malice, Francis, on that account; but how is it you are so embittered against my sex?
27425On what do you ground your right? 27425 Ought I not to follow her?"
27425Ought I to accept it, Leopold?
27425Really? 27425 She married a French nobleman, if I recollect aright?"
27425Should I have spoken to you in this way, Francis, if I had not been your sincere friend?
27425So you have brought a travelling- bag?
27425That''s but too true; and do n''t you, Francis, consider it a great insult that people dare to call you by such a name?
27425That''s just what I have to tell you, grandfather; but what can have pleased you so much? 27425 Then with regard to the diamonds, you have some certain proofs?"
27425Then you never delivered my letter to your master?
27425There''s nothing I desire more ardently; but, once for all, with whom? 27425 These are private grounds; do you understand that?
27425Well, what can she say more than that we are an engaged couple? 27425 What about your wife?"
27425What am I to do?
27425What am I to think of the false letters of exchange in which you forged your father''s signature? 27425 What can I say, mon cher?
27425What could you expect? 27425 What do I say to it?
27425What do you say?
27425What is your business at the Castle, sir?
27425What is your business with Miss Mordaunt?
27425What long voyage are you alluding to?
27425What shall I say, chère amie? 27425 What shall I say, uncle; did I take too great a liberty in reckoning on an invitation for a few days?"
27425What shall I say? 27425 What strange whim is this?"
27425What would you expect from him, uncle? 27425 What''s the matter with the Bible?"
27425Who knows? 27425 Whom do you mean by that?"
27425Why do n''t you sell the Castle, uncle?
27425Why not at the Club?
27425Why not invite your cousin Van Zonshoven to stay the night; he can leave early to- morrow morning?
27425Why not?
27425Why too late, Francis?
27425Will you play?
27425Without having become your fiancé?
27425Would you like to see the person you referred to just now?
27425Would you not like to see the house whilst you are in Utrecht? 27425 Yes, do n''t you like the name?
27425Yes, rich people''s sickness-- there''s no great danger; but the young gent there, that''s another thing, eh? 27425 You and I must break with old customs, Captain,"she said softly, but with emphasis,"for we have been on the wrong track-- have we not, Jonker?"
27425You do not mean me to take this reproach seriously?
27425You persist? 27425 You''ve got nothing to drink here?"
27425After a moment''s hesitation I asked--"Are we again good friends?"
27425All this is far from poetic, is it not?
27425An adjutant of the Colonel''s, or a protégé of Francis''s?"
27425And do you think I can be happy to find that all this was but a comedy?
27425And he imagines I shall give way?
27425And he, had he not deceived me by leaving me in ignorance of what it was most important for me to know?
27425And how could I begin to speak about a subject on the termination of which I am still in doubt?''
27425And is this not true, Francis?"
27425And what right had I to be jealous?
27425Are we again good friends?"
27425But I should like to know to which class of majors you belong, tambour- major or sergeant- major?
27425But for you the consequences are a rich and childless uncle?"
27425But how was it she did not receive my packet?
27425But if you should be recognized yourself?"
27425But is it quite certain you do not come to trouble the General about business?"
27425But is there not a Van Zonshoven Minister for Foreign Affairs in the present Government?"
27425But perhaps it will not interest you to listen to my old stories?"
27425But where are you going to?"
27425But why did you not confide this terrible secret to me sooner?
27425But why so many difficulties?
27425But you are sure that he is gone?"
27425But you, sir, who are you?
27425But, tell me, what did you take me for at first sight-- for an apparition of the wild huntsman?"
27425By the way, do you know her name, or where you are to go in order to make her acquaintance?"
27425Ca n''t you see by her elegant dress she desires to appear herself-- Miss Mordaunt?"
27425Can it be?
27425Can such a surprise be disagreeable to you?"
27425Can we not show our good taste even in the simplest and plainest attire?"
27425Could I have talked to you on such a subject?
27425Could I have told you the history of his stay with us if I still loved him?"
27425Could a gentleman have treated me so?
27425Did I deceive myself when I thought I was not altogether indifferent to you?"
27425Do n''t you think he would receive me with open arms?"
27425Do you know her?"
27425Do you know our bed- room is in the stable with the horses?
27425Do you mean it as such?"
27425Do you play the doctor?"
27425Do you see this portrait of the fifteenth century?
27425Do you think I should have taken such a liberty if I had not conceived the idea, fostered the hope, of your one day consenting to become-- my wife?"
27425Do you think the women are much respected because they are so politely assisted to mount their horses during the performance?
27425Do you understand me?
27425Francis is gone----""She is not ill, however?"
27425Francis, could you suspect me of such infamy?"
27425Francis, turning on me brusquely, cried,"It is not true, Leopold?
27425Guessing the reason, I whispered to the Captain--"Do n''t you perceive you annoy my cousin by always addressing her by that hateful nickname?
27425Have you acted like a gentleman?''
27425Have you made a prisoner?
27425Have you not succeeded in inspiring me with esteem for you by your proud and dignified behaviour, and the elevated sentiments you professed?
27425Have you now satisfied your curiosity?"
27425Have you really business at the Castle?
27425Her grandfather is ruined----""And by whom?"
27425How am I to act in the matter?"
27425How can I any longer believe in your love?
27425How can you oppose such a desire?"
27425How dare he show his face here?
27425How is it possible you have never perceived it yourself?''
27425I ask you if, like most men, you have sometimes suffered from the intermittent fever called love?"
27425I ask you, cool- headed man of the law as you are, whether that is not enough to turn the brain of a simple mortal like myself?
27425I could scarcely give a civil answer to his question--"Slept well, Jonker?"
27425I have had all sorts of adventures-- but can I tell you all now?"
27425I obeyed, and she began--"Tell me, first of all, do you now understand why I do not like receiving company?"
27425I taught him to ride----but Francis, my angel, you are quite pale; have you also sold your beautiful English saddle- horse?"
27425I threw aside the paper, and, approaching the piano, I whispered--"Do you remember how this charming little opera ends?"
27425In a moment of passion?"
27425Is her name Francis Mordaunt?"
27425Is it a young girl like you that I should choose out by preference, in whom to confide the sad secrets of my unhappy marriage?
27425Is it not a certain unfortunate incident with regard to your coachman?"
27425Is it not horrible?"
27425Is she a coquette?"
27425Is she a fright?"
27425Is this not a question of a child which you are obliged to maintain?"
27425Is this the first time you have met my granddaughter?"
27425Jool?"
27425Leopold?"
27425Let me be to you more than a friend; permit me----""More than a friend?"
27425Looking her steadfastly in the face, I said--"And suppose my visit to the Werve were expressly for the purpose of seeking your hand in marriage?"
27425May I hope you will come to the Werve to have a last interview with me?
27425May I stay here until he regains consciousness?"
27425Must I go back to the ruin?
27425Now I am ready to confess it before all the world that I did you wrong; will you pardon me without reserve?"
27425Now I ask you if that was not done to annoy us and to wound our feelings?"
27425Now do you understand I had reasons for being angry this morning?"
27425Now what shall I write to Overberg?"
27425Now, Leopold, do you think I could draw a man I really loved into such a maëlstrom as this?"
27425Now, seriously, Francis, could you take me for your Romeo?
27425Oh, the fact is I would not make her more unhappy by telling her what I suspect----""What then?"
27425Ought he not to have foreseen the danger into which he was leading me by his kind and affectionate treatment?
27425Rolf soon joined us, and demanded humbly--"What says my Major-- do I not deserve a word of praise?"
27425Shall I be rich enough to buy back the Werve?"
27425Shall I make you some coffee?
27425Should I follow and overtake her?
27425Smithson?"
27425Still, does this justify my aunt''s inexorable hatred?
27425That time''s past; what does it matter how Major Frank dresses?"
27425The Jonker has certainly heard of all these things?"
27425The proud lady burst forth in indignation--"''Can you imagine I would become a party to such deception?''
27425Then you are the happy mortal?"
27425Was this simplicity or maliciousness on her part, to address such a question to me?
27425What became of the widow and children?"
27425What can I say?
27425What can I tell you more, dear William?
27425What can we do?
27425What could I do now?
27425What could be her meaning?
27425What do you mean by it?
27425What do you think my father would say if he found them to- morrow morning on his pillow?
27425What had become of Francis?
27425What has happened to her?"
27425What is this sum in comparison with what you have cost him, and all the suffering you have caused him and me?
27425What is your relationship to him?"
27425What must she have thought of my silence?
27425What of that?
27425What say you, Leo?"
27425What''s the old ruffian doing here?"
27425When and where have you met her?"
27425When he had somewhat allayed his hunger, he began--"Francis, my darling, where am I to pass the night?
27425Where are you going, Leo?"
27425Who could say that the comparison, which she could not fail to make now, would be to my disadvantage?
27425Who is it?"
27425Who knows but she''ll accept my present?"
27425Why did I swerve from my principles?
27425Why did you not send for me, if you wished to ask me anything?"
27425Why have you brought all these useless dainties again?"
27425Why have you not studied for a barrister?"
27425Why should you throw yourself into this abyss of misfortunes and miseries, in which I am sinking?
27425Why was I led astray by other people''s ideas?"
27425Will that do?"
27425Will you grant me that favour?"
27425Will you listen to my advice?"
27425Will you spend the evening with us?
27425Would you renew his distress, and put him to these tortures again?"
27425You have not been made heir to Aunt Roselaer''s property, have you?"
27425You have received my packet, and read Aunt Sophia''s letter?"
27425You have sent away Harry Blount?"
27425You have told me your early education was neglected; but you have read Schiller?"
27425You will ask where?
27425You will stand by me, wo n''t you?"
27425You would disgrace me and my daughter by taking him away?
27425Yours left nothing?"
27425and why to- day above all others?''
27425how do you make that out?"
27425on your word of honour?"
27425or have you heard it before?"
27425or is this some one to be quartered on us?"
27425she responded, quite red with emotion;"you surely do not suspect me of anything unworthy?
27425was that the reason you brought in all those dainties this morning?"
27425you have seen the old gossip?"
37770Am I deluding myself, or is it so? 37770 Am I not a Madonna?"
37770Amy, what''s the matter?
37770An idea?
37770An uncalled- for civility, do n''t you think?
37770And Amélie, who spoke of him... but she knows nothing.... What is there in him, what lurks behind him: his visionary image? 37770 And Benjamin, what about Benjamin?"
37770And I, have I anything to forgive you?
37770And Joseph, mamma, what did Joseph say?
37770And do you too,she continued, airily,"think me incapable of loving any one very much?"
37770And is all this a sin calling for absolution?
37770And is it?
37770And now, why is it not good for you?
37770And suppose I were suddenly to run away and leave you alone?
37770And that is...?
37770And what is that other?
37770And why are you now sorry that I am not''a person apart,''as you call it?
37770And you, Anna?
37770And you?
37770And you?
37770Are n''t they in the box with the counters?
37770Are the girls fond of cards?
37770Are these your two children?
37770Are you content to be so?
37770Are you cross, Jules?
37770Are you fond of reading?
37770Are you happy here, then?
37770Are you often unhappy?
37770Auntie, he is going away, because of... because of..."Because of what, Jules?
37770Because you read me and gave me happiness?
37770But tell me, what was your idea?
37770But that is not the only thing?
37770But why?
37770Ca n''t you wait till I''m dressed? 37770 Can we do that if I continue to see you?
37770Can you be so ignorant about women as not to know how every one of us has a longing to solace and relieve, in fact, to play at being a Madonna?
37770Can you forgive me?
37770Can you see the way?
37770Cecile, tell me, Cecile,she said, suddenly, through her sobs,"do you believe in God?"
37770Come, what is it?
37770Did I?
37770Do I bore you?...
37770Do n''t you know?
37770Do you keep in touch with modern literature?
37770Do you know Emerson?
37770Do you know that you are taking all sorts of pains to fathom me and that I know nothing whatever about you? 37770 Do you look upon it with so much scorn?"
37770Do you take them out much nowadays?
37770Do you think so?
37770Does he bring happiness? 37770 For calling to see me?
37770Happy?
37770Have I done so?
37770Have I leave to speak to you like this?
37770Have the boys gone to bed?
37770Have you been crying, Mamma?
37770Have you been well all this time?
37770Have you forgotten?
37770Have you never noticed anything odd in Dolf?
37770He asks if he might come this evening?
37770How can I tell?
37770How can you defend those ways of Jules''?
37770How can you know?
37770How do I coddle him?
37770How do I know what it is?
37770How do you do, Auntie? 37770 How should I know?"
37770How so?
37770How?
37770I asked, because..."Because?
37770I do not see you yet...."Would you be in any way interested to know me, to see me?
37770I may write to you, may I not?
37770I should so much like to know in what way you like me?
37770I? 37770 I?...
37770If any one were to see us...."And what then?
37770If he can come and take leave?
37770If you knew the remorse that I feel....She rose and went to him:"What for?"
37770If you know, will you then permit me to say it?
37770In what way? 37770 Is Jules naughty, mamma?"
37770Is it a party?
37770Is it not?
37770Is it true, Auntie? 37770 Is that so very wrong?"
37770It''s me, Auntie; Jules....She knew him now, asked how he came there, what was the matter and if he did not know that she was ill?
37770Jules was really naughty just now, was n''t he, Mummy?
37770Let me always hear from you...."Then these are not to be the last words between us? 37770 Look, Taco, will this do?"
37770May I give you some tea?
37770May he come?
37770Me?
37770No,he said,"but I thought....""What?"
37770No,he said,"but may I tell you, without analysing?"
37770No?
37770Nothing but letters?
37770Oh, of course,she replied, laughing softly,"it was about your idea of me, was it not?
37770One question first: you can not endure people who go in for sport?
37770Possibly; but why does it always give me pain? 37770 Quaerts is a Nimrod and a Centaur and a Hercules rolled into one, are n''t you, Quaerts?"
37770Really? 37770 Really?
37770Really?
37770Rubinstein?...
37770Shall I guess?
37770Shall we go for a walk?
37770So you are a philosopher?
37770Sport?
37770Taco, when are you going to teach me to ride?
37770Tell me, Jules, what makes you like me so much?
37770Tell me, am I not paining you severely?
37770The loan of Emerson''s essays?
37770Then how do you spend your evenings?
37770Then why did you do it?
37770Then you are interested in it?
37770To confess?
37770To take leave?
37770To take leave?
37770To take leave?
37770Too much, with you?
37770Well, shall we say to- morrow? 37770 Well?"
37770What ails me? 37770 What are you doing there, Jules?"
37770What do you mean by''a person apart''?
37770What do you think of my theory?
37770What else do you write then?
37770What idea?
37770What is going to become of you, Jules?
37770What is it? 37770 What is it?
37770What is that?
37770What was the reason?
37770What were you doing?
37770What were you playing, Jules?
37770What''s become of those cards again, Amélie?
37770What''s the matter, Amy?
37770What, Auntie?
37770What?
37770What?
37770Where are the cards, Anna?
37770Where do you really''class''me?
37770Why am I like this?
37770Why do n''t you see a doctor?
37770Why not?
37770Why should I not be happy?
37770Why should you think that?
37770Why speak of that now?
37770Why then?
37770Why?
37770Why?
37770Why?
37770Why?
37770Will you believe me when I swear to you that I have reflected deeply on all this? 37770 Would you like to go to Deli some day?"
37770Yes, but why do you never come of your own accord?
37770Yes,he answered; and he asked again,"And do you desire... nothing more?"
37770Yes....And she relapsed into the wealth of memories of... what?
37770Yes; and he told me to ask you if he might see you once more?
37770Yes; what do you think it is?
37770You are far- sighted?
37770You do n''t much care about Quaerts, do you, Auntie?
37770You have no occupation, I believe?
37770You know a piano is so... so big, a great piece of furniture, is n''t it? 37770 You know; I told you the other day: it''s not right....""What is n''t?"
37770You think I rush into hyperbole?
37770You too, Cecile?
37770You were saying that you read and wrote a good deal: what do you write?
37770You were unable to force yourself to be more moderate?
37770You will forgive me, will you not? 37770 You''re not angry with me, are you?"
377702 Yes, what then?
377703"Is this the first time he has been to see you?"
37770After all, I am not mad, am I?
37770Ah, she had had to restrain herself not to ask him:"Why do you speak to me like that?
37770Amélie sat down beside Cecile:"Is Christie better?"
37770And I venture to ask you if that gift is not a thing for you and me to keep sacred?
37770And could he not return this love, this so petty love of hers, and was that why he did not come to her?
37770And she heard him say:"Now what do you care about that lady''s name?
37770And where, where was her radiant happiness?
37770And, above all, will you forgive me when I swear to you that I am acting in this way because I think that I am doing right?
37770Both of them were glad when they were able to resume their conversation:"What were we talking about just now?"
37770But I deceived you for your own happiness, did I not?
37770But I, can I too be strong, especially now that I know that you have been through the struggle?
37770But from you I first learnt to live, to live without egoism and without desire; I learnt that from you this evening or... this day, which is it?
37770But he guessed her thoughts:"You think me a very odd person, do you not?
37770But he, what did he feel, what were his emotions?
37770But how can I be otherwise with you?"
37770But may I not thank you in human speech for lifting me above humanity?"
37770But now?
37770But why could he not preserve some sort of mean in both?
37770But you are no doubt once more thinking that I am going too far, are you not?
37770CHAPTER XV 1"So you are going on a long journey?"
37770Can you understand that there are in me two distinct individuals?"
37770Cecile threw her arm round his neck:"You are very fond of... Taco, are you not?"
37770Could the past repeat itself, after centuries?...
37770Did he know that her soul''s flight had reached its limit and must now descend again to a commoner sphere?
37770Did he not love her and was not his love already a fact and was not his love earthly enough for her, now that it was a fact?
37770Did he not love her?
37770Did he wish to try his blandishments on her?
37770Did she not, in her love, in the tenderness of her affection for them, spoil and weaken them?
37770Do I dislike him?
37770Do n''t you think so too?"
37770Do n''t you?"
37770Do you feel happy?"
37770Do you know the reason?"
37770Do you know what he thinks of you?"
37770Do you know why I am happy?"
37770Do you know why?
37770Do you not think so too?
37770Do you think I''ve anything to be ashamed of, Taco?"
37770Do you understand now why I was so sorry to see you at Mrs. Hoze''s?
37770Does ecstasy endure only for one moment and did he know it?
37770Even in that case?..."
37770For how shall I go up to my father if the lad be not with me?..."
37770Greta must have fallen asleep, she thought:"Ring again, would you?"
37770Had he really amused himself during that time?
37770Hallo, Taco, are you going just as I arrive?"
37770Hardly able to control herself in her compassion, she rose, moved towards him and laid her hand upon his shoulder:"Tell me, do you mean all this?
37770Have you never met Quaerts before?"
37770Have you taken offence?"
37770He bowed, with a smile:"You will not think me tiresome?"
37770He hesitated, with a smile; but she repeated her suggestion:"Why not, if you care to?"
37770He laughed quietly:"Nevertheless you held my particular predilection in great aversion?"
37770He rose and sat beside her, taking her gently in his arms:"Are you happy?"
37770He smiled, looked at them penetratingly with his small, deep- set eyes and drew them to him:"Am I mistaken, or is the little one very like you?"
37770He took a chair and placed his tall hat on the floor beside him:"I am not disturbing you, mevrouw?"
37770Heavens above, did he not love her?
37770Her earlier aversion?
37770How can you know why you are fond of any one?"
37770How could I possibly, even if you were to take offence?...
37770How had she come to write it?
37770How was he to find the mean between the two poles of his nature?
37770How was it that she had written all this and why?
37770How was it that she suddenly realized this?
37770How would she feel?
37770I came to speak to you about... him....""Him?"
37770I have every reason to be happy otherwise, have I not?
37770I may adore you, may I not, while you yourself are kneeling?
37770I seem to remember that we once were?"
37770If I saw you again and again and yet again, what should I begin to feel and think and wish, unconsciously?
37770In a second or two, however, Greta entered, with a card: was mevrouw at home and could the gentleman see her?
37770In some cases the circles almost coincide, but they always remain separate.... Do you really think this so very mystical?"
37770Is a god afraid of the struggle?"
37770Is he a god?
37770Is it all true?
37770Is it true that you have been living as you say and yet have not been happy?"
37770It''s not right to tell tales, is it, Auntie?"
37770Jules looked up in surprise:"Before Taco?
37770Literature?"
37770May I hope that you will permit me to call on you this afternoon?
37770May I thank you for it... on my knees?"
37770May I thank you for my happiness, for my heaven, my light, O my master, for my joy, my great, my immeasurable joy?"
37770Mrs. Hoze''s voice had a ring of sympathy as she murmured in Cecile''s ear:"So we are getting you back, dear?
37770My God, how can I convey the certainty of it to you?"
37770No, it is not true, is it?..."
37770Nothing....""How do you mean, nothing?"
37770Now do you know why I feel such a sense of security when I am with you?
37770Or are you only making it up?"
37770Or that I am raving?"
37770Ought she to have asked him:"Why do I lower myself when I mix with other people?
37770Ought she to have declared all this, at the cost of her modesty and his happiness?
37770Ought she to have told him that he was deceiving himself?
37770People...""People?"
37770Perhaps I am strange, but how could I possibly be commonplace with you?
37770Shall I tell you why I believe that you took a special aversion in my case?"
37770She did not know how or why this interested her, but she asked Quaerts:"Who is the lady over there, in pale blue, with the dark hair?"
37770She gave a little laugh:"What is the matter?"
37770She had spoken them to break the silence: formerly that silence had never troubled her; why should it now?
37770She laughed brightly:"Is this a compliment?"
37770She was silent again, remembering her former aversion to him: did she still feel it?
37770She wrote no more, she knew no more: why write that she had no words and yet seek them?
37770So we see you to- morrow?"
37770So will you forgive me the past?
37770Sport?...
37770Surely I may say that once aloud, may I not, quite aloud?"
37770Suzette will be a pretty girl, do n''t you think?"
37770The acquaintance was fatally bound to come; and so I waited...."Fate?
37770The boy looked at her, motionless, with large wet eyes, full of astonishment:"Is right?"
37770The child raised his wet face from her shoulder and looked at her deliberately:"Was it really like that?
37770The past a sorrow; the future an illusion.... Why, why illusion?
37770Then Suzette asked, suddenly:"Do you know young Mrs. Hijdrecht, Auntie?"
37770Therefore I have sinned, sinned against myself, have I not?
37770This... this... is not the end?"
37770Was he in any way concerned with her writing down those sentences?
37770Was he not her god?
37770Was it chance or a logical consequence?
37770Was she really good to her little boys?
37770We never know anything, do n''t you agree, Cecile?
37770We were, were we not?
37770Well, what did she want more?
37770Well, what then?
37770Were you happy, I ask you?
37770What concern was it of hers?
37770What did it mean?
37770What do I want with his card?..."
37770What do you mean?"
37770What do you see in me after all?
37770What do you want with a diary?
37770What does he want to see me for?...
37770What has altered?"
37770What is it?"
37770What is there gloomy about that?"
37770What would it bring her?
37770Where was her modulated joy of dreaming happiness?
37770Where was her struggle within herself between what she was and what he saw in her?
37770Which would be the stronger, my soul or the beast that is in me?
37770Why could you no longer picture me returning to society?"
37770Why did he come here?
37770Why did he do it?
37770Why did he not come?
37770Why do I dislike him so?
37770Why do you not rather let them drip down upon me?
37770Why do you raise up your beautiful thoughts to me?
37770Why is everything so bad, Auntie?"
37770Why is it not good for you?"
37770Why not?"
37770Why should he leave a card?
37770Why should she be put out if Cecile was not?
37770Why should she?
37770Why then can I not be happy?"
37770Why was he always tossed from one to the other, as a thing that belonged to neither?
37770Why was it necessary, to sit like this round a fire, listening to music?
37770Why, indeed, had she hidden herself from him?
37770Will you believe me when I swear to you that I suffer at the thought of never being permitted to see you again?
37770Will you believe me?"
37770Will you forgive me now?"
37770Would you allow me to come to you when I am unhappy?
37770Yes, she spoiled them; but how could she change herself?
37770Yet she ventured to ask:"And why... do you believe... that perhaps... you are not mistaken?"
37770You always stayed at home, did n''t you?"
37770You are a great friend of Dolf''s, are you not?"
37770You are coming out of your shell again?"
37770You have no occupation, I believe?...
37770You like me so much: ca n''t you forgive me my laziness?
37770You sat next to him, did n''t you?"
37770You think that I do not look as if I could feel afraid?
37770You thought I had only seen you four times?
37770afraid?"
40656''A good man, do n''t you think?''
40656''Ah!--how did I?--How was that?''
40656''Already?
40656''Am I really myself?
40656''Am I then a man?''
40656''Among human beings?''
40656''And I shall never live among men any more?''
40656''And Simon?''
40656''And Windekind?
40656''And is it always, always so?''
40656''And is there a Sprites''Book, Wistik?''
40656''And shall I find it with you?''
40656''And shall I never find anything, Pluizer-- nothing but--?''
40656''And then?''
40656''And what were you studying just now?''
40656''And whom, then, do you love best?''
40656''Are they really happy, Windekind?''
40656''Are you Jesus?--are you God?''
40656''Are you a man?''
40656''Are you crazy, sluggard?
40656''Ay, indeed?
40656''But does it exist?''
40656''But in what book do you think that the truth is to be found?''
40656''But the stars, what about the stars?''
40656''But what then is the name of that Great Light, Windekind?
40656''But where did this all happen?
40656''But why then, little mouse, do you live among men?
40656''But, Johannes,''said she one day,''how do you know all these things?
40656''Can I have been walking in my sleep?''
40656''Can I have dreamed it?
40656''Can any one go there and enter in?''
40656''Can he be less fond of me than I of him?''
40656''Can such happiness befall me?''
40656''Can you give light?''
40656''Can you hinder me?
40656''Can you not look where you are going?''
40656''Dear me,''said the other,''do not you know that much?
40656''Did King Oberon speak to you?''
40656''Did Windekind send you?''
40656''Did he give you the little key?''
40656''Did you ever hear the crickets of an evening out on the sand- hills, Johannes?
40656''Did you ever see the like?
40656''Did you not like him greatly?
40656''Do not you know?
40656''Do the people see him too?''
40656''Do you believe it?''
40656''Do you hear?''
40656''Do you know anything about it, Robinetta?
40656''Do you know that your king is of the party?''
40656''Do you know what a vocation is, Johannes?
40656''Do you mean God?''
40656''Do you not believe me?''
40656''Do you not know me?
40656''Do you object to that?
40656''Do you remember him?''
40656''Do you understand anything of all this, Dicky- bird?''
40656''Does he think the worse of us because we do not eat?''
40656''Dreamed it?''
40656''Even if I could tell you, what good would it do you?''
40656''God?''
40656''Have you been amused?''
40656''Have you been in the next one?''
40656''Have you forgotten me, Johannes?
40656''Have you forgotten what Death told you?
40656''Have you lost anything, my little fellow?
40656''Have you too deceived me?''
40656''He has heard of a certain book in which it is written why everything is as it is, and we are now going to seek it together, are we not?''
40656''How can he talk of these things?
40656''How do you know who I am?''
40656''How is it that no one has found it yet?''
40656''How is it that the leaves of the ash- trees are so speckled with black?''
40656''How is that possible?
40656''How should I know that?''
40656''How soon?''
40656''I should like to show Johannes this same company once more,''said Pluizer with a grin and a wink,''can I do it?''
40656''Is Oberon here?
40656''Is it real-- is it true?''
40656''Is not this a surprise, Johannes?''
40656''Is that all true?''
40656''Is that not more lovely than the noises of men, Johannes?
40656''Is that true, quite true?''
40656''Is there anywhere such a book?''
40656''May I go home?''
40656''May we go in?''
40656''Must you stay here in the dark passage all the time?''
40656''Now is not that a fine sight?
40656''Now will you come with me?
40656''Now?
40656''Now?''
40656''Of the little key, do you mean?
40656''Oh, Wistik, why should I ask?
40656''Only look, do you know him?''
40656''Or are you a man by chance?''
40656''Pluizer, who tells him where he is to go next?''
40656''Pluizer,''Johannes suddenly asked,''do you know anything about the Great Light?''
40656''Pluizer,''said he,''have men always lived here in such grief and misery?
40656''Pray why?
40656''Robinetta-- where is Robinetta?''
40656''Shall I see Robinetta again?''
40656''So that is the gardener''s little boy?''
40656''So you want to see the Book of Books?
40656''The Men''s Book perhaps?''
40656''Then do you know Wistik too?''
40656''Then how can they ever be so light- hearted?''
40656''Then you are not soldier- ants?''
40656''They why do you not go down there again now?''
40656''This evening?''
40656''To seek diligently, was it not?
40656''Very pretty, is it not?''
40656''Well then, youngster,''grinned Pluizer,''what made you fancy that you could be an elf?
40656''Well who knows?
40656''Well, my little friend, what have you to cry about?''
40656''Well, what is it?''
40656''What are you about, mooning there?''
40656''What are you asking, Johannes?''
40656''What can there be beyond?
40656''What can you find in the sun?''
40656''What did we agree on, little man?''
40656''What do you mean by that?''
40656''What do you mean by this, Johannes?
40656''What do you mean, my child?''
40656''What do you mean?''
40656''What do you suppose?
40656''What do you want, my friend?''
40656''What do you want?''
40656''What do you want?''
40656''What does the boy mean?''
40656''What does the boy want?
40656''What fire is that?''
40656''What folly is this?
40656''What happened to him afterwards?''
40656''What is Windekind?''
40656''What is going on in there?
40656''What is harmony, Windekind?''
40656''What is that?''
40656''What is the campaign about?''
40656''What is the meaning of this?''
40656''What is this?''
40656''What is your name?''
40656''What sort of creature are you really, Johannes?
40656''What took you to talk with men?
40656''What was that?''
40656''What, have you still a hope?''
40656''What, so many?''
40656''What?
40656''Where are you off to?''
40656''Where do you come from?
40656''Where is Robin Redbreast?''
40656''Where is it, Wistik?
40656''Where is the big rose- bush?''
40656''Where were you born?''
40656''Whither are you travelling, elves?''
40656''Who are they?''
40656''Who are you?''
40656''Who are you?''
40656''Who are you?''
40656''Who is he?''
40656''Who is that?
40656''Who put the lime- walk there?''
40656''Who taught you that, my little friend?''
40656''Who was it?
40656''Who will find the Book, Wistik?''
40656''Whom do you most long for?''
40656''Why are you so unhappy, Johannes?
40656''Why do they wilfully deviate from the laws of nature?''
40656''Why do you cry, Johannes?
40656''Why do you look at me so, Johannes?
40656''Why have I never seen Thee till now?''
40656''Why is it not right?
40656''Why is it that he never comes near me now?
40656''Why not-- why not?''
40656''Why not?
40656''Why not?''
40656''Why then have you not yet got it?''
40656''Why then?''
40656''Why, Johannes,''said she,''what have I done to deserve it all at once?''
40656''Why?
40656''Will he come back again?''
40656''Will he come now?''
40656''Will you be my friend?''
40656''Will you keep it safe for us?''
40656''Will you rest them against me?''
40656''Without whom do you think you could not live?''
40656''Yes, certainly; by the pool you mean?
40656''You can see that they are in a hurry and are seeking something, can not you?
40656''You would like to know my name?
40656Am I or is Windekind the false one?
40656Am I, too, really a man?''
40656An elf?
40656And do you not love them?''
40656And have you in your dream had the consciousness that you would presently awake, and all the glory of it vanish?
40656And is the little key to lie there?
40656And the rabbit?
40656And then he inquired of Pluizer:''To whom will you take him?''
40656And to whom must I pray?''
40656And was not that he, his slender form in its blue robe?
40656And what sort of creature are you then, I should like to know?''
40656And where is your friend?''
40656And who is to blame if men pine in misery and disobedience to nature-- they or the all- wise Contriver, compared with whom we are ignorant children?''
40656And yet, was not this fair- haired creature in blue Windekind in person?
40656Are all men like these?''
40656Are you fond of birds?''
40656Are you not waiting for the little golden key?''
40656Are you still such a baby?
40656Are you waiting for Windekind?
40656But Pluizer went close behind him and whispered sharply in his ear, as was his wont--''You can not think?
40656But do you ever think it over?
40656But how was he to find the lime- walk?
40656But what do you mean about the little key?
40656But what is his disorder, do you think?''
40656But where was his father?
40656But will you come and walk with me again?
40656Can I help you seek it?''
40656Can any one now doubt our pre- eminence?
40656Can you take me with you out there?''
40656Did he still long for her?
40656Did he tell you all these things?
40656Did you choose your own father?
40656Did you ever have a beautiful dream of an enchanted garden, with flowers and beasts who loved you and talked to you?
40656Did you fancy that you could not think?
40656Did you not know that it would not heed your advice?
40656Did you not observe that she sat in the corner and never spoke a word when they all laughed at you?
40656Do n''t you see, Johannes, that it was all fancy?
40656Do you feel that?''
40656Do you know of what you are talking, boy?
40656Do you know where I was?
40656Do you know where it is to be found?
40656Do you know where to find it?''
40656Do you like beasts better?''
40656Do you love men more than you love me?''
40656Do you not know how strong I am?''
40656Do you not know that my name is Johannes?''
40656Do you not like human beings?''
40656Do you suppose that a God, or anything at all like one, could take pleasure in governing such a muddle as prevails on this earth?
40656Do you suppose that there is no one so good or so clever as he?
40656Do you think it strange that his dark bedroom with the tiny window- panes filled a large place there?
40656Do you think that Doctor Cypher in your place would look as you do?
40656Do you think that Simon is a common cat, Windekind?''
40656Do you understand?
40656Do you understand?''
40656Does he know you?
40656Everything was confused and dark in his soul--''How can all this exist in me at the same time?''
40656Everywhere-- all about?
40656For a long time Johannes dared not speak; but at last he said in a low voice--''Are you going to take me with you?''
40656Had it been no more than a fearful vision?
40656Had the people who lived there come back?
40656Has it anything to do with my secret?''
40656Has some disaster occurred?''
40656Have the flowers learnt to grieve?
40656Have you asked Robin Redbreast to show you the way?''
40656Have you ever seen me before?''
40656Have you no parents or any one to take care of you?
40656He watched them anxiously; would they show him the way?
40656Home?
40656How are you getting on?''
40656How could you sleep so soundly as not to notice when your master left the boat?
40656How did you come by it?''
40656How else could she give him such a sense of rest and gladness?
40656How many flowers produce fruit, and how many seeds become trees?''
40656I only exist, do you understand?
40656III''Well, where is he, Presto?
40656If I tell you, will you help me?''
40656If a nursemaid lets an innocent child play with fire and it is burned, whose fault is it?
40656Is all I have told you true?
40656Is he a friend of yours?''
40656Is it not so, Dicky- bird?''
40656Is not that far happier?
40656Is not that wonderful?
40656Is that my father-- my own father?
40656Is that your vocation, my boy?''
40656It is as if they were giving a concert, is n''t it?
40656It was a great delight to open the shutter suddenly, and, after the mysterious twilight of?
40656Johannes stared into the hole where it had disappeared and thought to himself:''I wonder if it was Wistik?''
40656Look at Doctor Cypher, does he think it horrible?
40656May we go in?''
40656Mine-- Johannes''s?''
40656No?
40656Now do you hear the gasping?
40656Of what use is brooding sorrow?
40656Of what use would it be?''
40656Of whom are you thinking at this moment?''
40656Or can I be dreaming now?''
40656Or do you not prefer a rabbit- hole?
40656Presently Johannes said:--''Do you believe what Wistik said?''
40656Shall I ever see Windekind again?''
40656Shall I keep it for you?''
40656Shall I live and grow to be a man-- a man like those others who laughed at me?''
40656Shall I not die if I have not Robinetta?
40656Shall I tell you the history of a young cockchafer?''
40656Should he utter Windekind''s name?
40656So soon?
40656So you really think that pretty?
40656Tell me, what is it?''
40656Tell me, where can I hide it?''
40656That you are to become a man, a complete man?''
40656The child''s, who knew nothing about fire; or the nurse''s, who knew that it would burn itself?
40656The doctor looked surprised and asked,''Wistik?''
40656The splendour was but now-- and already----?
40656Then Hein says to them,"Are you looking for me?"
40656Then Johannes opened his eyes very wide and said:''Then it was true?''
40656Then do you now believe in me alone?
40656There in the very heart of the light-- gleaming in a shimmer of gold and blue-- was not that Windekind beckoning to him?
40656There, against that low mound just before you-- Is there not a little dark figure lying?
40656V Have you ever loitered in the woods on a fresh autumn day?
40656Was he dreaming?
40656Was it he who called him now?
40656Was not that the soft little body against which he had slept that first delightful night with the elves?
40656Well, and what matter?
40656Well, how are you getting on, old fellow?''
40656Were not you?''
40656What are you reading?''
40656What are you thinking about?
40656What brings him here?''
40656What did he care for punishment so long as he had Windekind for his friend-- and what would he not endure for Windekind''s sake?
40656What did it all mean?
40656What did this mean?
40656What do you mean, little man?''
40656What does the wind mean?''
40656What have men to do with that?
40656What higher joy can they know?
40656What is that thick book which you are made to read?
40656What is the meaning of it?
40656What is there for cockchafers to do?''
40656What is there remarkable in your father''s case?
40656What more do you want?
40656What must the doctor think of you?''
40656What next, I wonder?''
40656What then had he dreamed, and what was true?
40656What to do there?''
40656What was that?
40656What was that?
40656What was this in his tightly clasped fingers?
40656When would the heavy foot come and crush him to death?
40656Where are the rose bush and the little key, hey?
40656Where can the boy have picked up such a notion?''
40656Where is he?''
40656Where is your little master then?''
40656Where was Windekind?
40656Where was the little mouse who had so faithfully helped him that day in the school- room?
40656Who are you?''
40656Who brings a light here?
40656Who could?''
40656Who did that?''
40656Why can not you go now with me?
40656Why do you care no more for all the gladness of that life?
40656Why do you never think of me?
40656Why do you not laugh at them?''
40656Why do you not run away to the woods?''
40656Why do you not tell me everything?
40656Why do you now sit here grieving instead of going out to the sand- hills as you used to do?
40656Why do you tell men such things?
40656Why does he not come to you?
40656Why does the wind blow through the trees so that they bend and bow?
40656Why had he not a little patience?
40656Why is it so?
40656Why must he come away from them and lose their love?
40656Why must the leaves fall and the flowers die?
40656Why must the winter come?
40656Why should you not be glad since I am your friend?''
40656Why were men thus made?
40656Why-- why?
40656Will you answer it?''
40656Will you be such a man?
40656Will you like that, Johannes?''
40656Will you promise me this?''
40656Will you seek it with me?''
40656With whom has he wandered these two years, do you think, while you were away?
40656Would you like to have these?''
40656Would you try to frighten me with that whippersnapper thing?
40656You are elves as it seems to me-- are you not?''
40656You do not believe me, my little friend, because I am a man?
40656You see nothing there but happy smiling faces?
40656You will not?
40656asked Johannes,''are you a man?''
40656asked Johannes,--''home to my father?''
40656asked Johannes;''the big one which used to stand here?''
40656said the second cockchafer rather haughtily, seeing that the other was a youngster,''do you wish to ask me the way?''
40656when?''
40656where is it?
40656where is it?''
40656who is doing that?
40155All, then, is settled, is it not?
40155An unbeliever in what?
40155And did he not know that he spoke with the mighty Emperor?
40155And did you say anything of the hermit and his appearance?
40155And has your brother started for Kashmir?
40155And how goes all yonder?
40155And is it not so?
40155And our young simpleton? 40155 And so you will give my father another lesson from your unbelieving philosophers; is it not so?"
40155And the letter?
40155And those two,asked Siddha,"coming from the other side?
40155And what are they?
40155And what does this betoken?
40155And what is the sentence?
40155And what obliges you to leave us so suddenly?
40155And while waiting, you occupy your time with that nephew of mine I entrusted to your care, is it not so? 40155 And who presented him to you?"
40155And why impossible?
40155And why not,asked he,"if they here or there make mistakes, or show a want of taste, or----""But you are not, I hope, an unbeliever?"
40155And why not?
40155And why so? 40155 And why, noble Rezia, should that not be?"
40155And will that protection avail against Akbar and his favourites?
40155And you told him of my adventure with Gurupada''s tiger?
40155And you, Faizi,he asked,"what is your opinion?"
40155And you,said Siddha,"how go your affairs?"
40155And your answer?
40155And your nephew?
40155And,asked the Padre, gazing earnestly into the Emperor''s face,"may we hope that the seed is fallen in good soil?"
40155Are any others acquainted with these orders respecting the Minister and me?
40155Are you intimately acquainted with all the religious systems?
40155Are you on service now?
40155But I must first be convinced,said Akbar;"or do you wish that I should declare with my mouth what my heart denies?"
40155But how is it that you have come so suddenly to this determination? 40155 But now the plan itself, as it concerns Kashmir?"
40155But say, what has happened?
40155But surely the faith that stands firmly is of importance?
40155But what is that?
40155But what would you have, then? 40155 But why,"said he, as she suddenly drew herself up and quickly escaped from his arms,"why are you now going to leave me?"
40155But would it not be better to ask the Governor for an escort?
40155But, Faizi,asked Abú- l Fazl,"what would you do to make the people wiser and more reasonable?
40155But, honoured master,asked the servant, with hesitation,"must I leave you entirely alone here in the wilderness?
40155But, then, the dangers that threaten your kingdom and throne?
40155But, worthy Gorakh, your prudence was superfluous; we have need of your help in many cases, and should I, without reason, deprive myself of it? 40155 But,"Siddha said, after a moment of silence,"who then is Gurupada?"
40155But,asked Akbar, impatiently,"what do your Mullahs and their followers want?
40155But,asked Faizi,"do I lose sight of the present?
40155But,asked Siddha, doubtfully, after a moment''s thought,"is that honourable?"
40155But,asked Siddha,"what can any one, even though he be the great Akbar, do with such profusion?"
40155But,asked Siddha,"who is your mistress?"
40155Certainly not,replied his companion;"but does not that also call to heaven?
40155Come,he said,"it is time we departed; on occasions like these who can tell what quarrels or disputes may break out?"
40155Crimes demand their penalty; and how can I go forth into the world while it remains unpaid, an object of contempt to myself and others?
40155Did I not give you my word, Siddha? 40155 Did I not tell you?"
40155Did you describe Gurupada''s appearance exactly?
40155Do you expect to return soon?
40155Do you not know that a father has right over his daughter, and in cases of necessity forces her to obey?
40155Do you now understand why it was a foolish trick you played?
40155Does all go well?
40155Flattery?
40155Gurupada?
40155How a failure? 40155 How can the name of that woman affect you?"
40155How now, my singer,said Rezia, laughing;"must I set you the example?
40155How now, what do you mean by that?
40155How, Siddha?
40155How,asked Siddha, in astonishment;"in truth does not Akbar deserve his name?
40155How? 40155 How?"
40155I honour your feelings, noble Sir,said Siddha,"although I regret that you are not one with us; perhaps----""Perhaps what?"
40155I suppose you are now returning to your lodging? 40155 Impossible,"answered Gulbadan;"the door in the garden wall is locked, is it not?"
40155Is it not sad,said Akbar,"that one must make use of such people?
40155Is that right?
40155Is your master awake? 40155 It is said they do this prompted by religious fervour; but if so, why do they choose a day of public rejoicing and festivity to exhibit themselves?
40155May not,repeated Salim,"or will not?
40155Mighty Prince, allow me to call you so by anticipation,answered Gorakh;"if I ask you nothing, simply nothing, that astonishes you, does it not?
40155Never?
40155No further report from your spies?
40155Noble Faizi,said Siddha, interrupting a short silence,"may I ask you a question?"
40155Noble lady,answered Nipunika,"how should I dare to deceive you, and what reason could I have for doing so?
40155Of what?
40155On foot?
40155Religion,said Akbar to himself,"what is it, then?
40155Shaikh Jío,he exclaimed,"I have brought Hakim Ali with me, will you not speak to me?"
40155She with the veil thrown back, and a servant holding a fan of peacock feathers?
40155Should not,asked the other,"the nephew of my old friend and pupil have claim to the interest I feel in him?
40155So you are going to leave us again, worthy Father?
40155That letter,answered Salhana,"has safely reached its destination; and who do you think carried it?
40155That speaks for itself,said Akbar;"but the question is, what is truth, and where is it to be found?
40155Then follows the reconciliation of Krishna and Radha, does it not?
40155Then you thrust me away?
40155To do?
40155Vatsa,said he, beckoning to the man,"have either you or Kulluka''s servant just spoken with a priest?"
40155Very likely,answered Siddha,"But, tell me, how is it that here there are so many people without beards?
40155Very well put, my worthy Faizi,said Akbar;"but true as all that may be, does it content you?
40155Well, what has that to do with it? 40155 Well,"asked Salhana,"is not the news welcome to you?
40155Well?
40155What are you doing here, unhappy one, with me? 40155 What can possess the people?"
40155What can you do?
40155What do you do here?
40155What do you know?
40155What do you mean?
40155What have you to tell me?
40155What induced you to seek my life?
40155What is that?
40155What kind of religion is it?
40155What more would you demand?
40155What right have I to your love? 40155 What splendid poetry, is it not?"
40155What then?
40155What, do you not know him?
40155What, in the name of Shaitan, are you doing here?
40155Who has given you leave to desert your post in Agra? 40155 Who is that?"
40155Who shall decide?
40155Why,asked Siddha, half dissatisfied,"did you not tell me this while we were still there?
40155Would that have been discreet,--should you have approved of that?
40155Yes,answered Siddha, with hesitating speech;"but can we go before the Prince gives the sign for leave- taking?"
40155Yes,replied Siddha, impatiently,"that I know well; but what was he first, before he came here and tamed tigers?"
40155Yes; but who decides that? 40155 You also, my worthy friend?"
40155You are pleased with him, then?
40155You have not, I trust, fallen in love with Gulbadan at first sight? 40155 You mean Kulluka?"
40155You mean by the teachings of your belief, do you not?
40155You mean my own private ones, do you not?
40155Abdul Kadir,"he said, as with a respectful greeting Siddha took his leave,"what do you want with me?"
40155Am I not right, Faizi?"
40155Among the reigning houses around us, how many, through family feuds, have been subjected to our rule?
40155And Salhana the governor; could he trust him?
40155And by what might are they thus subject to me?
40155And can there be more than one truth?"
40155And do you not think that power so exercised has not equal pleasures with yours?
40155And does he himself act with honour in accepting your services and mine while at the same time he has designs on our king and country?
40155And had not Rezia, on her own confession, deceived him more than once?
40155And he described to Parviz his strange meeting, and asked if he knew who the person he described could be?
40155And how do you like your appointment?
40155And if not, has he the power of injuring us?"
40155And in that which concerns the first foundation of enlightenment and cultivation, has Akbar just cause for self- reproach and discouragement?
40155And my uncle Salhana-- is he also mixed up in this?"
40155And so you mean that Salim himself is ready to join these malcontents against me?
40155And so you place more faith in the leaf of a tree than in the word of honour of a nobleman who has pledged you his troth, as you have to him?"
40155And what are we ourselves-- we men?
40155And what do you think of our new city?"
40155And what is my self- sacrifice to hers?
40155And what will you have introduced, and what perhaps will you have made?"
40155And what, if it can not be stopped in time, will be the unavoidable consequence?
40155And when,"she continued, smiling,"I become old and ugly, then----""Then what?"
40155And where is the vindication of the true faith, to which, above all men on earth, the Emperor is called, as the representative of Allah?"
40155And why did he not return to her?
40155And why should we not follow the good advice?"
40155And you, Parviz,"said he, turning to him,"have you also some important business to prevent your enjoying some innocent amusement?"
40155Another poet puts it still more forcibly:''Who knows,''he says,''who knows the secret, who proclaimed it here?
40155Are you out of your mind?"
40155As for your confessions, they are worthless; I already know all that you can tell me excepting one thing, where and how is Gorakh to be found?"
40155As she drew near she hesitated for a moment, and then said,"Are you not, my lord, the noble Siddha, just arrived from Kashmir?"
40155Beaten on all sides, and by whom?
40155But Siddha still lived, he was not dead when you left him?
40155But did you not say there were to be elephant and wild beast fights?"
40155But do I not see Parviz approaching?
40155But does treachery alone seek a home in Kashmir?
40155But excuse me, Kulluka, if I ask what it is you expect from this system of days gone by?
40155But for what?
40155But has not our worthy Gorakh his share for us?"
40155But in future, Vatsa, do not speak to any one of the hermit, whoever it may be that asks you; do you understand?"
40155But is there in truth nothing that can be done?
40155But is there not another subject to which the thoughts of men should be directed, especially those of philosophers?
40155But quickly recovering himself, and looking in the stranger''s open face, he asked, with no further introduction,"Is not Akbar ambitious?"
40155But shall I tell you my suspicions?
40155But should I not rather leave it to you to guess, if you have not already learned from my words that it can be no one but yourself?
40155But should it be so, could you, and would you, submit?"
40155But suppose it came to the worst, and one of my Thugs was really taken, what matters it?
40155But tell me frankly, are not these descriptions a little exaggerated-- at least, they are rather poetical?"
40155But tell me, Siddha, have you never made any verses on me?"
40155But tell me, do you come to serve him, or simply to enjoy the privileges that your rank gives you at his court?"
40155But tell me, is the bird in the trap?"
40155But to what did all this tend?
40155But what can he have to do with Gurupada or Nandigupta?
40155But what can it concern you, if I, who here have nothing to say, nor am of the slightest importance, am not one with your race?
40155But what do you demand as recompense for the services that you render us?
40155But what good would your death have produced, or how could it undo the ill you have done?
40155But what of those dangers, at present secret, but which may become open, and may find support in your own house, encouraged by those of your own race?
40155But what would you have?
40155But who will ever solve for us the enigma of life?"
40155But why did you not ask him yourself who he was?"
40155But why do you ask it?
40155But why should we lose ourselves in thought of what might have been, but can never be?
40155But why should you alone be in possession of the truth?"
40155But you speak of the capital; you know it, I hope?"
40155Can he say that he has not done enough, or at least much, for the welfare of the people entrusted to his rule?
40155Can you forgive me, Siddha, before we bid each other good- bye for ever?"
40155Clapping his hands, he asked the servant who appeared,"Is my nephew Parviz in the house?"
40155Could he remain so long parted without making any effort to see her again, even if it were but for a day?
40155Could it be possible that Siddha took part in such festivals at Agra?
40155Could she have deceived him?
40155Could there be one in the army that deserved it less?
40155Did he still think of her, and daily regard her likeness as she did his?
40155Did you not send me by Kulluka the token that told your last thought was mine?
40155Do not my heart and word remain yours, even though we part?"
40155Do you call that duty and virtue?
40155Do you desire this?
40155Do you not long for something else, something more?"
40155Do you really believe that his only desire is to add more and more kingdoms and peoples to his empire, which already is far too extended?
40155Do you reckon that as nothing?
40155Do you remember that I am a friend of the Governor of Allahabad?"
40155Do you think that I have come hastily to this determination, and that I shall draw back?
40155For are not light and warmth the givers of life, without which nothing could exist?
40155Had Faizi heard all, so that he could warn Akbar?
40155Have I ever laid as much as a straw in their path?"
40155Have not you, you priests, in the West exalted yourselves to tyrannize over the consciences of your fellow- men?
40155Have they not the fullest liberty to think and speak as they will, and to make as many proselytes as they can?
40155Have you not doomed hundreds and thousands to the stake because they differed from you on some point of faith?
40155Have you not introduced the greatest intolerance that the world has ever known?
40155Have you not received here the fullest protection, and been shown all respect and fitting honour?
40155Have you tried my bay that we spoke of the other day?"
40155He from whom all this great creation came, Whether His will created it or was mute?
40155How can you bear that I should approach you-- I, the faithless traitor, laden with the heaviest curse that was ever laid on man?"
40155How could the man know what had happened to him yonder in the mountains, where, excepting his own companion, he had seen no human being?
40155How could this serve yourself or others?
40155How would you bring about this reformation of ideas that the Emperor desires?"
40155I know him, and all is not so well as I could wish, and I agree that he is ambitious; but then, in what way?
40155If some true knowledge was everywhere to be found, why, he thought, should truth be confined to one religion?
40155In my turn I ask, what do you want for yourself?
40155In the meantime what progress have you made?"
40155In truth, did Salim only come to her for state reasons, or were there other motives for his visits?
40155Into what new entanglement had he now fallen?
40155Involuntarily his thoughts turned to Rezia''s letter that he had entrusted to Kulluka; but what could that have to do with state affairs?
40155Iravati, is it possible to say more clearly what I feel for you?
40155Is he also involved in this?"
40155Is it not so, Hara?"
40155Is it not so?"
40155Is it not so?"
40155Is it not, then, to be excused if I have expressed myself too strongly?"
40155Is it only to be found in one religious system, or scattered through many?
40155Is it possible that some day a religious system may arise that will content all, and unite the human race in one bond of love?
40155Is it possible that the holy man has departed?"
40155Is not the name of the translator known?"
40155Is not this a great and useful work?
40155Is that, I ask, virtue and courage?
40155Is your horse ready?"
40155It can only be Salhana; am I not right?"
40155Memory had returned in its full strength, but how?
40155Must I be the one to say to you, be a man!--I, who, in comparison with you, am so weak?
40155Must I leave you, just at this moment when I might be of service?"
40155Nothing for nothing I say with him; but you, what are your wishes?
40155Nothing, certainly; but what harm was there even if he found her charming?
40155Now another question: what would you do with me, Emperor of Hindustan, as I am?
40155Now,"continued he, sinking the whisper in which he spoke to a still lower tone,"do you know for what I hold that man?
40155Of what avail would such tales and empty gossip be?
40155Of what did he think?
40155Of what value to them is the liberty which is shared by unbelievers?
40155One question, however; is there no danger of any part of our plan becoming known?
40155Or was, indeed, the royal beast nothing more than a gigantic cat?
40155Perhaps somewhat imprudent in what----""He has not said what was not fitting to the Emperor?"
40155Returns not"--asked he, in the words of Amaru, as, taking her hand in his, he drew her nearer to him--"Returns not he who departs?
40155Salim----""What, again Salim?
40155Shall we rest with him for a few moments while our horses are watered?
40155Should he go, or stay?
40155Should he not be content with what he already has?
40155Should you now spurn this opportunity, because of an exaggerated idea of political honour?
40155Siddha,"sighed Iravati,"you must forgive me if I do seem rather childish; and does not my uneasiness show you how much I love you?
40155Such a question he had not expected; and what could he reply?
40155Tell me frankly, do you wish to work with me for the good of my kingdom, or do you feel no inclination and no strength for it?
40155Tell me, on what footing are you now with him?"
40155Tell me, who is my betrayer?
40155That letter, for example, that was sent to Kashmir,--supposing it should have got into wrong hands?"
40155The Emperor and his councillors?"
40155The great audience hall, is it open?"
40155The king''s sons, who sooner or later threaten to rise against him, certainly do not act from their own inspiration; but whence, then, does it come?
40155The latter he would gladly do, but how could he reconcile it with honour?
40155The thought of them animates those who come after them; and is not that true immortality?"
40155The time has now arrived: tell me frankly, what is your opinion?"
40155Then perhaps you will come with me for an expedition?"
40155Then she sprang to her feet, asking, with a passion unwonted to her,"Who told you all this?
40155Then there are the Jews, who are not content with this or that, but hold by Moses alone; and then what do you say to our Brahmans?
40155Then why not go himself, without a moment''s further waste of time?
40155To what have false friends and a false ambition led you?
40155Unable to find an honourable death, you declare your intention of living a solitary life in the jungle, devoted to prayer and penance; but for what?
40155Was I the only one pointed out to you by Gorakh as a chosen sacrifice?"
40155Was Rezia really faithful to him, or did she only treat him as she did her husband, who, far more than he, deserved her love?
40155Was it a soldier?
40155Was there ever any certainty about his death?
40155Was there indeed no hope, no chance for him?
40155Well,"continued he to his nephew,"what is my lord the future councillor doing here among warriors in their tents?"
40155Were they idle and foolish dreams with which I flattered myself when I believed that I had found it?
40155What I meant was: has the universal being, of which you speak, its origin in itself, or in another still higher intelligence?"
40155What are we to expect, Salhana, from your brother the Minister of Kashmir?
40155What can it give us?"
40155What could have driven him to this treacherous attack?"
40155What could it be?
40155What could keep him?
40155What did the man want?
40155What do they deserve but a war of destruction?
40155What do you mean?"
40155What do you think, friend Faizi, is it not so?
40155What have you, and what have we, to do with this conception of soul and matter?
40155What is my life in comparison with the greater interests that depend on the speedy execution of your mission?
40155What should he do?
40155What was she to him?
40155What was the meaning of this tone, and what could he really know?
40155What would you have more?
40155What, then, could be the reason of his continued silence?
40155Whence, whence this manifold creation sprang; The gods themselves came later into being; Who knows from whence this great creation sprang?
40155Where did he tarry?
40155Where shall we go?"
40155Who can place the limit where a religious sect becomes dangerous, and where it is not?"
40155Who could it be?
40155Why should I keep silence respecting that which you must long have known?
40155Why should I then complain?
40155Why should he make this declaration?
40155Why should it be refused me?
40155Why, then, beloved, art thou sad?
40155Why?
40155Will he choose our side?
40155Will it please you to follow me?"
40155Will you behave as a weak woman who is not master of her own heart, and give way to unreasonable passion?
40155Will you promise me this?"
40155Will you, then, excuse us if we take our leave, and thank you for your reception-- as kind and friendly as ever it was in days gone by?"
40155With suppressed wrath Loyola''s follower listened to these proud words; but what could he do, what could he say?
40155Would it be fortunate, or unfortunate, should the human race with one consent cease to possess any religion?
40155Would it not be possible so to dress up these abstract ideas as to make them more acceptable to the multitude?"
40155Would you not thrust me into a dungeon, and, if I remained hardened in my unbelief, deliver me to a judge to be condemned to the fire and stake?"
40155Yes, indeed; but what can he be doing here?
40155Yesterday, about midnight, I passed by the palace, and what do you think I saw?
40155You have never possessed the power of restraining yourself in anything; how, then, should you in this?
40155You know Siddha''s handwriting, do you not?"
40155You know who Gurupada the hermit is, do you not?"
40155You naturally will answer that you alone are in possession of truth; but then, I ask, what are your grounds for saying so?"
40155You want to know what I think of him?
40155a monster of the jungle?
40155and for the perpetration of what crime did he allow himself to be used as a tool?
40155and have you not enjoyed the most complete liberty to preach what you will, and to convert whom you can?
40155and how?"
40155and if not, what claim has he on such special loyalty on our side?
40155and if you did not know who I was, who told you that Durga desired my death?"
40155and was I not bound to keep it until you yourself gave it to me back?
40155and were his instructions to be followed, and all that had happened this morning kept secret from Kulluka?
40155and what moves you to speak to me of it?"
40155and what reason had he now for believing that this time she indeed spoke the truth?
40155and what was the cause of so sudden a change?
40155and, perchance, was not forgetfulness both better and happier?
40155as I said before, why did I not know you earlier?
40155could she be other than she had told him?
40155cried Aquaviva, with irrepressible agitation,--"the terrible idolaters?"
40155cried Siddha;"have I deserved such suspicion from you?
40155do they belong to them?
40155is all arranged with caution?
40155is he not, as my father and my tutor have always represented him, a great man as well as a mighty prince?"
40155is it not, rather, a cowardly weakness?"
40155my young friend,"said he, with his hateful laugh, recognising Siddha;"and is this the way you repay the interest that I have shown in you?
40155or do you wish to behave as a man who knows how to rule himself, and who, by so doing, shows me he is worthy to reign over others?
40155or would it not be better to consult him about it?
40155said Iravati, reproachfully;"do you make such remarks on the writings of the ancients?
40155said he, turning to Siddha;"or have I made some fault in the pronunciation?"
40155sighed Iravati;"how can our meeting be unclouded happiness, when we are to part again so soon?
40155was it impossible to return in the slightest degree the love that I had always cherished for you, and which had surrounded you with benefits?"
40155was it possible that he could do it?
40155what do you ask of me?"
40155what means do you know of?
40155why are men thus forcing us to have recourse to such means?"
40155would it be fair?
34678An artist?
34678And are you satisfied with me now?
34678And did you not miss my company on your excursion?
34678And do you think I shall let you go now, that you have just told me what you would do in the evening?
34678And the Rhodes?
34678And then?
34678And then?
34678And what did you say?
34678And when I am gone and you are left with Frank, always with him, will you be happy, Eva?
34678And why did you not do it, then?
34678And you did not know a soul here?
34678And you doubt my word?
34678And-- what then?
34678Are you always so sure of knowing your way?
34678Are you an Englishman?
34678Are you angry, Bertie?
34678Are you cold, dearest?
34678Are you cold, my child; shall we go home?
34678Are you ill, my child?
34678Are you in such a deuce of a hurry? 34678 Are you still jealous?"
34678At nothing,said she; and she went on, still smiling affectionately:"Why did you never become an artist, Bertie?"
34678At what house? 34678 Bertie, my dear fellow, what is the matter?"
34678Bertie, tell me, is it so?
34678But I am not taking you from any one else? 34678 But does not he think of her still?"
34678But for whom? 34678 But of Bertie-- your best friend, who lives with you?
34678But what am I to do-- what am I to do?
34678But what on earth do you want?
34678But what were you thinking then-- what fancies?
34678But what? 34678 But where did you hide yourself?"
34678But where in the world have you really been?
34678But why do you not stay in London?
34678But why have we brains to think with, and why do we feel pain, if we can do nothing to help ourselves? 34678 But why is everything to be at an end between us?"
34678But why then does he pretend to love me? 34678 But why?
34678But why?
34678But you can always get another?
34678But you would never have done such a thing?
34678But, good heavens, why not?
34678Can you really be calm? 34678 Can you really think of no one?"
34678Did no one know that you had written?
34678Did you ever wonder why?
34678Do you think so?
34678Does he ever see her now?
34678Does it take effect quickly?
34678Eva,he began, suddenly recollecting himself,"How-- why--?"
34678Eva,he said,"I will go to Bertie--""To Bertie?"
34678For having distressed you, even for a minute?
34678For the moment-- well and good; but by- and- by?
34678For what?
34678For your eyes?
34678Frank,said she,"you once wrote a letter to Papa, did you not?"
34678Had he been troublesome?
34678Have you forgiven me?
34678How came you here in London?
34678How can you expect me to know Frank''s feelings?
34678How do I sit with Bertie? 34678 How is it possible?
34678How should I know?
34678I did?
34678I say, are you ill? 34678 I wanted to go-- and then Bertie said--""What did Bertie say?"
34678I was in the wrong; why should I not confess it? 34678 In the right?
34678Is he dead?
34678Is he here?
34678Is it possible that I should be the thing I am?
34678Is your business so urgent, then?
34678It was I who--"Who did what?
34678Look-- don''t you see?
34678Not yet?
34678Now?
34678Oh, he is a man who has been very unfortunate,he said evasively, and he presently added:"Has he not made a pleasant impression on you?"
34678Old sins to pay for, eh? 34678 Only in so far as--""You disbelieve me?"
34678Papa, are you tired?
34678Perhaps he was acting for--"Well?
34678So much the better.--Why did you have it?
34678Some interest?
34678Speak Bertie, have I vexed you? 34678 Supper for one, sir?"
34678Tell me, Frank?
34678The fire, sir?
34678Then how was it that you never came?
34678Then it is not the truth?
34678Then it is so?
34678Then it was what Bertie, said?
34678Then there is nothing to tell?
34678Then why should we remain awake in this weariful life? 34678 Then you are a gentleman now?
34678Then you are mine once more?
34678Then you did think of it?
34678Then you do not like him?
34678Then you have nothing to say to this?
34678Then you will come?
34678Then you will not speak to Frank? 34678 This, in your waistcoat- pocket?"
34678To Frank?
34678To- morrow morning?
34678To- morrow?
34678We leave this place to- morrow morning, I suppose?
34678Well, then,she said, gently,"if that is the case, why should I ever be afraid of you since you promise me this?
34678What ails you, Frank?
34678What are you saying?
34678What brings you here?
34678What can I say?
34678What could I have done?
34678What do you know?
34678What good can life do us? 34678 What good do you think I can do?
34678What have you found?
34678What is it?
34678What is that?
34678What is the matter, dearest?
34678What is the matter?
34678What is the name of the next outlandish spot we are going to?
34678What on earth ails you?
34678What should hinder my being happy; I love Frank so dearly?
34678What to do there?
34678What was it you said?
34678What, do you not know the Faery Queen, Una, and the Red- cross Knight, and Britomart? 34678 What, what?"
34678What-- why poor child?
34678What--- what?
34678What?
34678What?
34678What?
34678Who are you? 34678 Who is it?"
34678Who was the fellow?
34678Why am I a fool?
34678Why are you a fool? 34678 Why did you add''Rhodes''?"
34678Why did you never become an artist?
34678Why did you not come yourself? 34678 Why did you not come, yourself?"
34678Why do you ask?
34678Why do you say that?
34678Why does it stand here at all if it is shut up? 34678 Why not go to Norway?"
34678Why not?
34678Why should she not read what she likes? 34678 Why, Bertie?"
34678Why-- why?
34678Why? 34678 Why?"
34678Why?
34678Why?
34678Will you come in-- into the servants''hall?
34678Will you not at least think it over?
34678Will you not hear me?
34678With my money?
34678You ask me to forgive? 34678 You did?"
34678You do not believe me?
34678You were so miserable? 34678 Your guilt?"
34678After all, what is this story you have told me; what does it all mean?
34678Against Fate, who forges her chains blindly, link upon link?
34678And had he not experienced the same shudder as he saw them sitting side by side on the sofa, as if a noose were ready to cast round her neck?
34678And had it anything to do with Frank?
34678And if they should, would anything come of it?
34678And pretty flush, eh?"
34678And she slowly said, expecting to hear her own doom in the first word he should utter:"It is at an end?"
34678And she?
34678And what about, when all is said and done, what about?
34678And what for?
34678And what would Tayle think of me?
34678And where on earth have you been?"
34678And why do you talk of releasing me from my word?"
34678And why, why did nothingness cease to be?
34678And yet we love each other; do we not?"
34678And yet, was Frank to blame because he could not forget Eva?
34678And you did not come to me?"
34678And you would kill yourself for that?
34678And your friend?"
34678And-- oh, what was it I wanted to tell you?--I can not remember.--So you wrote actually three times?"
34678Are you daft?"
34678Are you gone crazy?"
34678As soon as they were alone Bertie began:"For shame, Eva, how could you torment me as you have been doing?"
34678Be a cringing fatalist, like a Turk or Arab, and let day follow day; never think; for behind thought lurks impulse!--Fight?
34678Because Frank is a young man like other young men; because Bertie is a pessimist, and despairs of my ever being happy?"
34678Because he meant to live a new life, and now finds that he can not?"
34678Because once, for a moment in Norway, he fancied he could do without her?
34678Because you can not forget her, because she still is a part of your life, a large part-- perhaps the largest?
34678Bertie, will you have something to eat?"
34678But I am still very fond of reading; and is that so very esthetic?"
34678But how can I help being what I am?
34678But perhaps-- I say, can I have addressed the letters wrongly?"
34678But still I must ask, do n''t you see?
34678But then-- was he really afraid?
34678But was that It?
34678But we have had good times together, have n''t we?"
34678But you will speak to him, will you not, and ask him all about it?"
34678But, you see, I care for you so fondly: you will let me say so, wo n''t you?
34678Can I say two words to you without being seen by any one?"
34678Can any harm come to me?
34678Can he have gone there?
34678Can there be no other woman in the world for you?
34678Can you not put it off?
34678Can you not tell me?"
34678Could Bertie--?
34678Could Frank give him the money?
34678Could he devise some ingenious excuse and try to tempt Frank to leave the place, to fly?
34678Could it be no otherwise?
34678Did he at this moment love Eva?
34678Did she not herself know her lover to be fickle, almost capricious?
34678Did she still doubt him, or had his vehemence, notwithstanding its brutality, made his innocence clear?
34678Do n''t you think it must be splendid to cut your way through the impenetrable bush?
34678Do you despise me for doing such a thing which, perhaps, some other girl would never have done?"
34678Do you hear?
34678Do you know anything about it?"
34678Do you know what makes papa say so?
34678Do you love Dante and Spenser?"
34678Do you place your highest hopes of happiness in a girl?
34678Do you really think of going there?"
34678Do you think I am a liar?
34678Do you think that I ought not to have read''Ghosts''?"
34678Do you understand that much, at any rate, eh?
34678Do you want it now, on the spot?
34678Does a man never know himself and what really lies in him?
34678Does it smell?
34678Does no one live in it?"
34678Energy?
34678For what had he of his own?
34678Frank knew, did n''t he?
34678Frank promised, laughing; and, holding out his hand, the"bad lot"added:"How can I ever repay you?
34678Frank would marry, and he, Bertie?
34678Good God, but why?
34678Great God, why must it be?
34678Had Eva cared for him in fact so little, that when he grovelled at her feet she could find no word even to tell him that all was at an end?
34678Had he ever had such notions in America, when he was toiling and tramping in his daily slavery?
34678Had he guessed the purpose of Fate?
34678Had he not rejected the notion that he had been the cause of it all?
34678Had he not sown the seed of doubt?
34678Had he not then felt, as though the black clouds were an omen of evil hanging over her head?
34678Had he not then regarded himself as a gross materialist, caring for nothing but plenty of good food and unbroken peace?
34678Had not Frank done penance enough for his fit of rage to hold up his head again now?
34678Had not all the woes of the past lain outside them both?
34678Had not his hints been well chosen?
34678Had she not herself felt strong enough to kill--?
34678Had the result been such as he had counted on?
34678Have I done anything I ought not?
34678Have you any suspicion why it should be to William''s interest to suppress them, then?"
34678Have you anything to do?
34678Have you ever seen anything in me to make you think I can lie?
34678Have you forgotten everything?
34678Have you no pity for your child, even if you do not understand her?
34678He asked"what was up?"
34678He had his own corner in it, with his books and his heraldry; why did she let herself be a victim to nervous fancies?
34678He has always loved her; is it so?"
34678He speak to Frank?
34678He?
34678Her eyes smiled in his; she laid her arms round his neck, clasping her hands, and again she asked:"Tell me, foolish boy, what is the matter?"
34678How can you be such a coward?
34678How could he even for a moment have doubted it?
34678How could he live on in such wretchedness?
34678How had he come by all this philosophy, the blossom of his idle hours?
34678How had he come to this; how was it that nowadays he was always thinking of such things?
34678How much do you want?"
34678How should I?"
34678How was she?
34678How was she?
34678How?"
34678I can prove it to you; did I not stick by you when you had lost all your money in America?
34678I despise you?"
34678I do not know what he said in self- defence; but now, still, shall Bertie''s influence come between us to part us?"
34678I know no one here--""Where are you living?"
34678I love you so truly that I can not help asking myself, Will my dear Eva be happy?
34678I ought not to have said so much; perhaps I have saddened you with it all.... Have I?"
34678I own it frankly.--Will you not come and see papa?
34678I should have spoken of you to Tayle at once, but that you begged me long ago--""Then you did not mention my name?"
34678I want to know if you will speak to Frank?"
34678If I had been selfish, should I not have left you then?
34678In Heaven''s name, why?"
34678Irrevocably?
34678Is it so?"
34678Is that so unpardonable in the person you love??
34678Is that so unpardonable in the person you love??
34678Is there, indeed, any such thing as happiness?
34678Is your husband still up?"
34678It is impossible.--I do not know what it is to love a woman, eh?
34678It is.... it is something else-- is it not?"
34678It was I-- do you forgive me?"
34678Kamschatka, for aught he cared; why especially Norway?
34678Kill himself?
34678Let me go to sleep in your arms--""Eva, what do you mean?"
34678Longing for some certainty, she asked Bertie-- his friend:"Tell me, Bertie-- that Something of which you once spoke to me; that mystery: what is it?"
34678My dearest Frank, what is it?"
34678No value?
34678No, no--""Then you think he had some interest?"
34678Not mere curiosity to see what was in them?"
34678Now, would Frank mention the Rhodes?
34678Oh, can you imagine anything more beautiful?
34678Oh, how could he get out of this slough?
34678Oh, why did not things remain as they were?
34678Or can you not do with a bill?"
34678Or could she not make up her mind how to word her forgiveness; was she elaborating her letter as he had elaborated his?
34678Or must I shake it out of your body?
34678Or was he not indeed hiding something?
34678Or was it all over, had she killed his love by her doubt?
34678Or was it only that"distance lent enchantment to the view,"the distance of so few years?
34678Or-- tell me, Frank, are you so horribly jealous?"
34678Ought he not to speak, to tell her what Bertie was?
34678Rum chance, eh, that they should run up against each other in London?
34678Run away?
34678Say a hundred?
34678She knew that-- surely?
34678Should she ask Frank whether he had any silent grief-- if he had anything to trouble him?
34678So she remained, while he held her close; when, presently, twisting her fingers into his waistcoat- pocket, she murmured:"What is this?
34678Suppose she were to show you the door?
34678Surely?"
34678Tell me, Eva, will you be happy?
34678Tell me, rascal, wretch, coward-- bribed him!--With what, in Heaven''s name?
34678Tell me, why did you carry that about with you?"
34678That Bertie pitied her?
34678That I despise you and hate you, hate you?"
34678The lady at the Lyceum; this woman or that, to whom he had bowed?
34678The real truth--""Well, what is the truth?"
34678Then how can we live, or why?
34678Then one day he went with Frank to the Rhodes'', and Eva, taking his hand, said:"We shall be good friends, shall we not?"
34678There was a time when I had none; and do you know how I came by them?
34678This was always the case with friendly travelling- acquaintance, and was it not so throughout life, with every one-- everything-- we love?
34678To ask if you would not be glad that I should release you?"
34678To- morrow?
34678Was all lost?
34678Was he not after all happier in those days and freer from care?
34678Was it not enough that he had three times craved forgiveness?
34678Was it out of a sense of shame at being himself so careless, so foolishly weak about a concern in which others were so cautious and prudent?
34678Was it so?
34678Was it worth while to care for anything?
34678Was not all love a great delusion, by which men blinded themselves to their disgust at life?
34678Was not all this, too, a fatality?
34678Was she angry?
34678Was she, too, suffering?
34678Was that his fault?
34678Was this accident or Fatality?
34678We often talked of you.--Well, afterwards I remembered those talks, and it struck me that Bertie--""Yes?
34678Were you ever in love with a woman?"
34678Westhove had seized him by the shoulders: he shook him, and said in a hoarse roar:"You damned villain, you will not tell me why?
34678Westhove?"
34678Westhove?"
34678Westhove?"
34678What advantage could it be to any one to hinder your getting them?"
34678What are you crying for?
34678What are you thinking of?"
34678What can I do?
34678What can I--?"
34678What can it be?"
34678What concern had he with that one fatal, fateful land, above all others?
34678What could I do, thus tossed, but try to keep my head up?--Strength of will, strength of mind?
34678What could will and energy do against fate?
34678What did it matter?
34678What do you want?"
34678What do you want?"
34678What had brought it about?
34678What had he done?
34678What had they to say to him now?
34678What has happened after all?
34678What has occurred that we should always be miserable?
34678What have I done to make you think it?
34678What have I done?
34678What have you done to him?
34678What is it all?
34678What is that impulse?
34678What is this-- what evil threatens me?"
34678What is your name?"
34678What made you think, of such a thing?"
34678What then, oh, what was this horror?
34678What then?
34678What then?
34678What was he, who was he?
34678What was her mood?
34678What was it?
34678What was it?
34678What was it?
34678What was she thinking; what had she got into her head?
34678What was the use of fostering warm feelings when a few days of sympathetic companionship could only end in parting?
34678What was to be done?
34678What was to be done?
34678What was to become of him?
34678What, in Heaven''s name?"
34678When I am far away-- far from London-- will you be happy?
34678Where are you going?"
34678Where was he to go?
34678Where was the young man who had no acquaintance among them?
34678Where?"
34678Why Norway?
34678Why are we not plants or stones?
34678Why are you so uneasy?
34678Why coward, or simple and loyal and brave, or good and noble?
34678Why did William?--what could they matter to William?
34678Why did he ask me to marry him?
34678Why did not Frank seek some employment-- some sphere of action?
34678Why did not he travel for a while?
34678Why do you not take things as they are?
34678Why do you speak thus?
34678Why do you think that?
34678Why no kiss, why no generous reconciliation, if she understood so well, if she had been so liberally trained?
34678Why should I take all that trouble, and then have this misery into the bargain?
34678Why should he care whether I wrote to you or no?"
34678Why should not everything come right again?
34678Why should this vast, useless universe exist at all?
34678Why should you give me back my word?"
34678Why was it he had never told her?
34678Why would you never tell me anything about him?
34678Why, had this happened?
34678Why, now that he was parted from Eva, could he not forget his passion; why could he not find sufficient comfort in the sweets of friendship?
34678Why, now, must those years rise slowly before him, like ghosts out of the grave of oblivion?
34678Why, then, did he not cut his way out of his own net, to go away, in poverty; and write a single word to Frank and Eva to bring them together again?
34678Why, what did I say?"
34678Why-- what about-- what was he to say?
34678Why?
34678Why?
34678Why?
34678Why?
34678Will you listen?"
34678Will you sometimes think of me, I wonder?"
34678Will you?"
34678Will?
34678With you we got on famously at once, as an amusing travelling companion, but with him-- but perhaps he has not travelled much?"
34678Would Bertie have pitied her so if there really had been nothing in it but his own pessimistic fears for her happiness?
34678Would they meet?
34678Yes, he thought, in some small degree; why else should Frank have craved an interview with Eva at so late an hour?
34678You are not vexed with me?"
34678You do n''t understand?
34678You gave me a hundred pounds, to pay William-- do you remember?
34678You have no complaint to make of me, I suppose?"
34678You know the facts; why do you not believe me?
34678You never see her, do you?
34678You will be sure to come?
34678You will not cast me from you again; you will protect me, your poor little Eva, will you not?
34678You will not do that much for me?"
34678You will not tell me?
34678but why?"
34678come, Eva, what is it that ails you?"
34678every man has a past?
34678good evening, Frank; how are you, old boy?"
34678jealous of Bertie?"
34678said Van Maeren,"what next?"
34678two to me as well?"
34678what do you expect?"
34678what have you here?"
34678what was it?
34678why did you never come near us?"
34678you, Bertie?"
33779A detachment?... 33779 About Berengar?"
33779Am I disturbing you, papa? 33779 And about what did you promise to talk to me?"
33779And about what did you want to speak to me?
33779And are you feeling better?
33779And do they not come to you also without feeling their sins, because they feel that they will get food and lodging for nothing?
33779And how about all those soldiers?
33779And how do you rule so many followers?
33779And how long do they stay, aunt?
33779And how long has he been living here?
33779And in what way?
33779And what did... what did your highness wish to say to me?
33779And what is your advice, professor?
33779And what will you give me then?
33779And when shall I see your highness again?
33779And why, Djalo, need one man always make the other unhappy? 33779 And... the little prince?..."
33779Andro, come here...."Highness, what''s the matter?... 33779 Are you going?"
33779At least, not altogether....They look at each other and laugh:"Imperial eagles are the finest birds, after all, do n''t you think?"
33779Aunt...."Why should n''t you?
33779Balthazar Zanti? 33779 But does God will it so?"
33779But how long do you want him to rest?
33779But is your highness right in going? 33779 But now, mamma, he still belongs to us... to you....""Othomar...""Mamma...""Shall I not have... to lose you also?"
33779But surely he always does?
33779But then why are you unhappy, my boy, my boy?
33779But what do you wish, Othomar?
33779But what for?
33779But what is happening? 33779 But what is it, Mamma?"
33779But what is it?
33779But what''s the matter with you, my boy?
33779But where is Othomar?
33779But who are they?
33779But you take in the peasants who have lost their all through the inundations?
33779But, Berengar,said the empress,"did you expect the man to present arms to you every time you ran past him while you were playing touch?"
33779But, Othomar, I ask you, why do you do this? 33779 But, mamma, I must see what it is that they want....""And what do they want?"
33779But, mamma, will papa approve of it?
33779Ca n''t you see, papa? 33779 Could I talk to you for a moment, alone?"
33779Could you grow fond of Valérie?
33779Did Prince Berengar become so ill suddenly?...
33779Did n''t the sentry present arms to you? 33779 Did you hear?"
33779Did your highness have a bad night?
33779Did your highness not command it, then?
33779Djalo, what is right? 33779 Do n''t be so disconsolate.... Berengar will be better than I.... You''ll tell papa, wo n''t you?...
33779Do n''t you feel giddy?
33779Do you apply your ideas on matrimony here?
33779Do you feel no affection for her?
33779Do you forgive me?
33779Does n''t your highness know? 33779 Does she know?"
33779Does your highness wish to dress? 33779 Does your majesty see?
33779Dutri,whispered the duchess,"how is the prince?"
33779Excellency, will you help me lift his highness?
33779For how can it be helped? 33779 From papa?"
33779Grown old?
33779Has Valérie ever spoken to you about Prince Lohe?
33779Have you done nothing besides?
33779Her majesty...."Well, her majesty?
33779His death?
33779His highness_ was_ very much affected...."But to what does all this tend?
33779His nerves? 33779 How am I to do it?
33779How could I but feel better, aunt? 33779 How deep that is, is it not?"
33779How did it get here?
33779How do you mean?
33779How does your highness propose to do so?
33779How is Valérie?
33779How long do you want his marriage postponed?
33779Huts?
33779I must tell you of my resolve...."What resolve?...
33779I shall fight against it, against that dread of mine.... Do you believe in presentiments?
33779I want to know, mamma...."Othomar,she cried,"will you do what I ask?"
33779I? 33779 Is it almost finished?"
33779Is it to get back your health, Othomar, that you read this sort of thing?
33779Is n''t it really quite reasonable?
33779Is not even the square safe?
33779Is there anything murmuring in the distance? 33779 Is your highness unwell?"
33779It''s rest, then?
33779Mamma, are they blowing up the palace?
33779May I request your highness to go to bed?
33779May we be your guard- of- honour?
33779My marriage?...
33779No, thank you, thank you.... Andro, can you come and sleep in here?
33779No, you''re not disturbing me.... Have you been to see mamma?
33779Not dead, sir, but...."But what?
33779Nothing?
33779Olga, what will the summer bring us, peace or not? 33779 Once more, what are you driving at, Othomar?"
33779Or am I indiscreet?...
33779Othomar, are you raving?
33779Postponed, then?
33779Prince Berengar... the fever has increased... he is delirious, sir, and the doctors...The emperor turned pale:"Is he dead?"
33779Prince Zanti, is he not?
33779Saved Valérie''s life, for instance?
33779Shall I do so, mamma? 33779 Shall I leave you alone for a little, Valérie?"
33779Shall I ring to have them cleared away?
33779Sir...."What? 33779 So you are simply trying to recruit farmers here?"
33779So you say you are forming a settlement here?
33779Terribly melancholy...."Dutri,she murmured, sinking her voice still lower,"would there be no chance for me to see him?"
33779Then why...?
33779There, do n''t you see something?
33779They say that the marquis_ used_ to be one of your intimates, do n''t they?
33779Very well, for myself: but why children, mamma?
33779Wanda, will you pour out the tea? 33779 Was that aide- de- camp also from the Imperial?"
33779Was that young girl his daughter?
33779Well?
33779What about the sentry?
33779What about?
33779What are we really looking for here?
33779What are we to do, excellency, what are we to do?
33779What are you driving at, Othomar?
33779What are you two painting there?
33779What can it be? 33779 What did you want to ask me?"
33779What do you bring me that''s nice? 33779 What do you know about it?"
33779What do you mean by entering your sovereign''s room in this unmannerly fashion? 33779 What do you think of Hélène?"
33779What estate is that?
33779What for?
33779What for?
33779What happened?
33779What has made your highness''ear bleed?
33779What is all this? 33779 What is it then?
33779What is it, Valérie?
33779What is it?
33779What is it?
33779What is it?
33779What is your highness doing here?
33779What law prevents me?
33779What more have I to tell you? 33779 What of?"
33779What shall I have then?
33779What sovereign allows his house to die out, Othomar? 33779 What then?"
33779What then?
33779What was Dutri doing here?
33779What''s the reason of that? 33779 What''s wrong with him then?"
33779What, what, Othomar... my boy?
33779What?
33779Where am I going to?... 33779 Where is his highness?"
33779Who are your neighbours, duchess?
33779Who can tell?...
33779Why did I go on that voyage with Herman?
33779Why did n''t you propose that earlier?
33779Why did you not telegraph for certain when you were coming? 33779 Why do you ask for them?"
33779Why do you call me insane, papa? 33779 Why keep on postponing it?..."
33779Why was n''t the approach to the platform closed to the public?
33779Why, Othomar?
33779Why?
33779Why?
33779Will you tell it to papa?
33779Will your majesty permit us to cast our eyes backwards for a moment? 33779 Wo n''t you go on with the portrait?"
33779Wo n''t you have the carriage shut?
33779Worse?
33779Would not your highness prefer to have the carriage closed?
33779Would you like a doctor fetched from Vaza?
33779Yes, I''m all right, but I am so tired...."But why, my child?
33779You''re not delirious?
33779Your highness was sleeping so soundly, I dared not; your highness was not well yesterday...."And so you just let me sleep? 33779 Your will?
33779_ So much for the race, in the gripe of growing- pains; but what of the nurses? 33779 *****Am I sincere?
33779... What does he know about me?
33779A glass of water?..."
33779A half- European, half- Egyptian dancer from a Cairene or Alexandrian dancing- house?
33779A horse?"
33779A poor sickly boy: how can I become emperor?
33779A punishment for forcing me, against my will?
33779A republic: would a republic be better?
33779A_ demi- mondaine_ from Paris or Vienna, who had stranded in the east and made her fortune in the harem of some great Syrian?
33779And I still wanted to thank you for something....""For what?"
33779And answer me soon, will you not?
33779And does ours merely spring from theirs?
33779And has a prince to go and rest when he gets engaged to be married?
33779And he roared, through the silence,"How did it get here?"
33779And my chaster imperial love, what were you too but earthliness?
33779And ought I to deprive him of his natural rights for the sake of my traditional rights?
33779And papa would be just as glad of an Austrian alliance.... How do you propose to make the journey?
33779And really why should it, in spite of that melancholy, not be even happiness?
33779And she asked, with that strange calm with which this betrothed pair were trying to get to know each other:"Othomar... do you care for nobody?"
33779And she merely said, in a voice that could not but sound plaintively:"So soon?..."
33779And she remembered Othomar''s letter, at the time of last year''s inundations:"Why are we not oftener at Altara?"
33779And that pistol?
33779And the increased garrisons of the forts, the squadron in the harbour?
33779And then it makes you grow old so quickly...."Dutri roars; he ca n''t restrain himself, he chokes with laughing...."What are you laughing at?"
33779And they all laughed at Sofie, including Sofie herself:"Did I speak like that?"
33779And this life of passion, this life of love for so many, was that then the truth?
33779And to know that you have that feeling as a sheer truth in your heart?
33779And to what purpose was the ever- returning, endless, eternal renascence of life?
33779And what am I to have now?...
33779And when do you start?"
33779And where... where would she wish to see me?"
33779And who was right?
33779And why all these strange books?..."
33779And why are we not always at St. Ladislas?
33779And why not?
33779And will my father succeed in preserving our house of peers by this dissolution of the house of deputies?
33779And you think that I shall fall in with that will?..."
33779And, having a husband and a child and a people, an emperor, a crown- prince and an empire, have I then no aim in life?
33779And, having an aim in life-- and such a tremendous aim!--have I not then also happiness?
33779And, if he lacked it, if he, the crown- prince, lacked majesty, was this monstrous lack her fault, the fault of the mother who bore him?
33779And, if he were omniscient, would he always be able to know what would be right?
33779And, when Othomar asked, after an interval:"Are you asleep, Andro?"
33779Are you dying, Othomar?
33779Are you dying, Othomar?
33779Are you more human?
33779Are you more human?
33779Are you tired and do you want to go to sleep, or shall I go on talking?"
33779At last he said, gently:"Your highness wishes to get well, do you not?"
33779At last her eyes caught sight of him; he came up with his fatuous fussiness:"Alexa, it''s impossible....""Have you asked the prince?"
33779At this moment a strange storm seemed to burst... behind the palace, under the palace, where?
33779Before I get so far in my zoological studies....""But what have you heard?"
33779Berengar, if I should be gone before him: is not that enough, mamma?"
33779Besides, he has no money: what would you do if you were with him?
33779Between this boy and the father is a first- born son, who is very, very ill.... Is not all this the end?"
33779But I always am....""But of what, my dear chap?"
33779But can I trace what goes on within me, what I think from one moment to the other?
33779But first tell me: that time with the tiger, you did n''t think me a great coward, did you?"
33779But how am I to do it, how am I to do it?"
33779But it must be so, must n''t it?
33779But love: was it love?...
33779But safe: who is safe nowadays?
33779But she had awakened from her dreams; and where else should she seek her strength but in her duty?...
33779But then... how am I to take you to him?
33779But these words, were they indeed his?
33779But what has he said?
33779But what would the boy think of him, Othomar, for giving away all this magnificence of his own free will?
33779But yet sometimes....""Sometimes what?"
33779Can he,_ can_ he combat the stress of the waters?
33779Children, will you go upstairs and get dressed?
33779Could she picture to herself that he would ever speak thus to her?
33779Could she tell?
33779Did he write like that?
33779Did she know of Alexa?
33779Did she want to live on and did she therefore turn back?
33779Did the young people suspect anything, or not?
33779Did you know that?"
33779Do I ever rest so long?
33779Do I truly feel this purification of my soul, or do I remain the woman I am?
33779Do n''t you agree, Olga?
33779Do n''t you know anything more about him?"
33779Do you hear?
33779Do you know why?
33779Do you know why?
33779Do you see this tree here and this axe?
33779Does not this reproach really affect us also?
33779Does she want to laugh again... or to cry again?
33779Does your highness know that the emperor to- day, for the first time in his whole life, cried, sobbed?
33779Ducardi looked him straight in the face:"What do you think of our prince?"
33779Dutri made graceful gestures of despair:"But, Alexa, ca n''t you really understand... that it is impossible?..."
33779Dutri started in dismay:"How do you mean, Alexa?
33779Dutri still hesitated: what could he do, what should he tell Alexa?...
33779Dutri the voluble began to press his request in rapid sentences following close upon one another''s heels...."The duchess?"
33779Eleonore fell back fainting against the duchess, but Alexa shook her by the arm:"Keep up, keep up, for God''s sake keep up, ca n''t you?"
33779Even if he had a thousand eyes all over the empire, would he be able to see everything that might happen?
33779For does not this day, this night seem to mark the end of your race, my prince?...
33779For what, after all, were they supposed to express, this or that?
33779Gentle sovereign of my soul, what will God have you be but earthly?
33779Go on the stage together?
33779Go to sleep now, down there....""Will you try to sleep also then, my''princie''?"
33779Good God, what excitement?
33779Had I not better send for Prince Dutri?"
33779Had he not felt this in that black night on the Therezia Square?
33779Had she felt remorse on the water, or had she not dared?
33779Has it been renewed?"
33779He bursts out laughing again; and this time she joins in:"I?"
33779He did not know whether he had guessed right and he still hesitated between the two thoughts: was she bearing up, or was she shallow?
33779He felt himself a lowly mortal beside him, when he thought:"What should_ I_ have done, if I had had to act in this case?
33779He looked at her gently, smiling, shrugged his shoulders:"But, aunt, what wish have I in the matter?"
33779He pressed her hand; she retained his:"Was your highness crying when I came in?"
33779He rang for Andro:"Why did n''t you wake me at seven o''clock?"
33779He shrugged his shoulders:"Beautiful?
33779He walked straight up to the crown- prince:"Is your highness aware that there is a detachment of infantry outside?"
33779Heavier?
33779Her excellency told me that your highness wished to speak to her in private and did me the honour.... Will your highness take this key?..."
33779Her happiness was ruined; what was life without happiness?
33779Herman got up; he was a little nervous:"Come,"said he,"shall we go?...
33779His imperial highness the Duke of Xara comes before his excellency, does he not?
33779Holy Mother of God, shall I ever be permitted?
33779How can I have talked so queerly?
33779How could one know, how could one be certain, how could one avoid hesitating, seeking, groping, blind- folded?
33779How did I take it into my head?
33779How did he come to do it?
33779How do you mean?
33779How grand and glorious India was, do n''t you think?
33779How much did it weigh with him for Alexa?
33779How ought the world to be?
33779How would he handle it, how would he in his turn transmit it to his son?
33779Humiliating, because what public reason could he allege for resigning the succession?
33779I already saw myself floating away, there, there, down there, right round the castle.... Why did I not do it?
33779I am going on a journey....""Where to, highness?"
33779I am only staying a few days longer, and...""Well?"
33779I am so tired sometimes....""Are n''t you well?"
33779I can trust you, ca n''t I?"
33779I imagine that his highness has been leading a very active life in the meantime?"
33779I thought papa preferred the Grand- duchess Xenia?"
33779I thought....""What, Andro?"
33779In Russia: was it good in Russia?
33779In the anteroom he found the chamberlain on duty:"Would the prince be willing to see me?"
33779Is Berengar not more of a monarch than I am?
33779Is happiness anything other than to have found a lofty, a noble aim in life?
33779Is it not too much that is asked of him?
33779Is it water or... or is it my fancy?"
33779Is n''t that it?"
33779Is she not in the least prepared for it?"
33779Is that not why he''s your favourite?
33779Is that you?
33779Is this love?...
33779It irritated him, his want of penetration of the human heart: how could he develop it?
33779It tires you so, that sitting, does n''t it?"
33779Lady Danbury, standing by Xardi''s side, continues:"And the lucky bird?"
33779Leave me alone with them as little as you can...."She suddenly held out her hand to him:"Will you forgive your future empress her broken heart?"
33779Look here: when I begin to go grey, I shall put something on my hair that will make me grey entirely and I will powder it, do you see?
33779May I, too, kiss your hand?"
33779Must the people be chastised to make them attached to their emperor?
33779Must there be kings and emperors, Djalo, or had we better all disappear?"
33779Muttering in his moustache, he went away, returned with his pillow and laid it on the step of the bed of state:"Are you feverish?"
33779My dearest wish is to be allowed to grow old there, and to die far away from the world: but shall I ever be permitted?
33779O God, how am I to do it?"
33779O God, mamma, what right have we to reign over others, over millions?
33779Oh, these problems, these simple problems: who can solve them, my God, who can solve them?..."
33779On the road, preparing to mount, Ducardi asked him, agitatedly:"Shall we return to Castel Vaza, highness?"
33779Or can I speak to you?"
33779Or did his equerries, among themselves, speak of his sisters too as they spoke of the duchess?
33779Or do you think an emperor so happy?"
33779Or was it something... something quite different?
33779Or was the house of deputies right?
33779Or...?
33779Our parents are dead, our brothers dispersed, the castle is deserted and we are separated: when do we see each other?
33779Political excitement?
33779Shall I tell her?
33779She constantly forgot to smile, but, so soon as she remembered, she smiled again:"So soon?..."
33779She sat down beside him, stroked his forehead with her hand:"How do you feel?"
33779She stared at him as though he had gone mad:"Who gives you these books?"
33779She talks vivaciously, asks Dutri:"How are you enjoying your tour?"
33779She took his book from his fingers, read the treasonable title:"Are you reading again, Othomar?...
33779She took his hand, still serious, not yet relapsing into her tone of persiflage:"Dutri, when you hear from him, will you promise to tell me about him?
33779She waited till they had passed through the light and were again walking in the darkness:"Do you ever hear of him now?"
33779Smaller than a horse, but heavier?
33779So what is there beautiful about it?"
33779Still more?...
33779Such a woman as she, was she not quite different from his mother and sisters?
33779Tell me, what happened between you two?"
33779That Gunther was not afraid of having to wear the crown one day, was this a reason why Othomar should be without his fear?
33779That nice thing: what is it?
33779The boy looked at her with the greatest astonishment:"But am I to say that... to the sentry, mamma?"
33779The constitution: was it good for a country to have a constitution or not?
33779The emperor glanced up at him:"Worse than this morning?"
33779The emperor rose:"Do you want to talk to me?"
33779The emperor stood still:"What do you mean?"
33779The empress rose:"Count Myxila,"she said, trembling,"may I beg your excellency to come with me?"
33779The ladies stood in the corridor, waiting for the empress...."Papa, may I go with you and look?"
33779The man looked at him anxiously:"What is the matter with your highness?"
33779The prince drew himself up proudly:"Your will?"
33779The queen looked at her anxiously:"How are you feeling now?"
33779The queen put her arm in Othomar''s and began to walk up and down with him:"And so you are going to leave us?"
33779Then Othomar heard a strange sound: Syria.... Had they ceased talking of the house of peers?
33779Then did the old race of might and authority begin to yield with him, as with a sudden crack of the spine, an exhaustion of the marrow?
33779Then she passed her hand over his forehead:"What''s the matter?"
33779Then why did she row on?
33779Valérie?"
33779Wanda, tell them again, will you?"
33779Was ever parliament opened thus before, with such a display of military force?
33779Was he alone then lacking in that essence of distinction, that sacred golden drop of blood, that divine atom?
33779Was her imperial romance to last so short a time?
33779Was it a riddle of the soul?
33779Was it because of the colossal, fabulous presents of millions contributed from the imperial privy purse to the fund for the victims of the disaster?
33779Was it only a humming in his ears, or... or was it really roaring on again?
33779Was she so shallow that she had already recovered from the great grief which had crushed her the night before?
33779Was there no wish to rule in the boy''s medieval little brain, was there no jealousy in his passionate little heart?
33779We want an hereditary prince, a Count of Lycilia...."His eyes became moist; he laid his head against her:"Two to become emperor?
33779We''re friends now, are n''t we?"
33779Were hatred and violence his?
33779Were their names coupled together by the younger princes and princesses?
33779Were there such things, soul- enigmas, and was it worth while to try to fathom them?
33779What am I?
33779What are you thinking of, to make such a disturbance in the middle of the night?
33779What can the boys have thought of me?"
33779What did he write?"
33779What did it profit that the liberal papers shrieked of intrigue and undue pressure?
33779What did they care for all Europe, so long as they cared for each other?
33779What do I myself know?
33779What do you think?"
33779What does one person know about another?...
33779What else can you do but cheer?..."
33779What else is there in me that''s puzzling?..."
33779What had the boy inherited of this rivalry?
33779What is it?...
33779What is your request?"
33779What mattered to them the disfavour of her uncle the emperor, so long as they loved each other?
33779What of all this applied to her?
33779What pretext would sound plausible enough to conceal the true motive of weakness and impotence?
33779What shall he do, what can he do?
33779What talent do I possess for ruling?..."
33779What the fury of their parents, so long as they loved each other?
33779What was he?
33779What was it that she possessed and he not?
33779What was it then?...
33779What was right, what was just, what was right and just for their empire, this or that?
33779What was she really rowing on for?
33779What was this feeling worth, if it weighed so little in a woman''s heart?
33779What were they?
33779What would be the end, the great end?...
33779What would become of this child of fate?
33779What would become of this child of fate?
33779What''s the matter?..."
33779What, what, what can it be?"
33779When?"
33779Where''s Djalo?"
33779Which of us, do you think, takes most after you... and... our ancestors?"
33779Who knows?
33779Why ca n''t you play without quarrelling?"
33779Why need it have happened like this?..."
33779Why need princes make their people unhappy?
33779Why not?"
33779Why should a young man like the prince be always resting?
33779Why should she not let herself drift away?
33779Why then should I be emperor and he nothing more than the commander- in- chief of my army or my fleet?
33779Why?
33779Will life always remain the same, for ages and ages?..."
33779Will that not be terrible enough for her, when it is decided months hence?
33779Will you now be able to play your part again?"
33779Will you promise?"
33779Will you think of that... and think of your parents, their poor majesties?
33779Will... you... go with me... then?
33779Would it be a good thing to place a restriction upon absolute sovereignty?
33779Would it be a repetition of himself, of his hesitation, his melancholy and his despair?
33779Would it be a repetition of himself, of his hesitation, his melancholy and his despair?...
33779Would you not speak to her before you go?"
33779Yes, they were talking about the crisis, Herman and Thera, but what did talking amount to?
33779Yet the prince''s fatigue was so evident that Ducardi asked him, softly, across the table:"Is your highness not feeling well?..."
33779You acknowledge that Berengar does possess your capacity for ruling and you will not, you_ will_ not have me abdicate?
33779You acknowledge that I am nothing of a prince except by birth?
33779You are fond of him too: it is not only my own blind mother''s love that finds my son lovable and sympathetic?
33779You feel that too, as a woman, do n''t you?
33779You know, those lovely guns on my last birthday?
33779You understand, Othomar, do you not?
33779Your slack brain ca n''t understand that, can it?
33779_ Ca n''t_ you agree with me that Berengar would be better than I?"
33779_ Et toi?_"The marquis laughs loudly and:"Even the crown- princely favour,"he whispers, behind Lady Danbury''s Watteau fan.
33779_"It irritated him, his want of penetration of the human heart: how could he develop it?
48271A family?
48271A legacy?
48271About Grandmamma?
48271About what then?
48271Afraid? 48271 Ago...""What are you saying?"
48271Ah, Ottilie, how do you do?... 48271 Ah, but where has he gone to?"
48271All the time?
48271And Papa was in the_ pasangrahan_ with them?
48271And ca n''t I send my son money if I want to?
48271And he has_ known_, since then?
48271And he too... did he never tell?
48271And how are they all at the Hague?
48271And is old Mamma well?... 48271 And is she going to England now?"
48271And may n''t I be there?
48271And no one knows it?...
48271And so it''s more than sixty... more than sixty years ago since..."Si- ince_ what?_exclaimed the doctor.
48271And so the wedding is to- morrow?
48271And then?
48271And what has he come for?
48271And what is that Latin book?
48271And what sort of thing could it be?
48271And what would you have me do? 48271 And when are you getting married?"
48271And why should they get married?
48271And you''re going to be married: your life is only just beginning..."Because I''m getting married?
48271And, when your wife has n''t you with her, what has she, if she has n''t any children? 48271 Are n''t you really too tired, Lot?"
48271Are you certain of it?
48271Are you going to get divorced?
48271Are you going?
48271Are you sixty?... 48271 Are you so tired, dear?"
48271Are you sure there''s no fever?
48271At last?
48271At this time of night?
48271At what time?
48271Aunt Ottilie has turned sixty, has n''t she?
48271Aunt Thérèse?
48271Because I ca n''t do... as much as you would like me to?... 48271 Because of the country or the people?"
48271Business?
48271But are n''t I?
48271But are n''t you content that I like you as you are?
48271But is n''t it a crime, a crime against nature?
48271But surely the country is alive?... 48271 But then why not ask your father?"
48271But what can it be?...
48271But what is it?
48271But why did she marry? 48271 But, Lot, the influence they exercise...""With a book, a painting, an opera?
48271But, if he''s worth seven hundred thousand guilders?
48271But... you used to_ hear_ him?...
48271But..."But what? 48271 But_ how?_"said Lot.
48271Ca n''t I?
48271Ca n''t it wait for Lot?
48271Ca n''t you remember?
48271Children?
48271Come again to- morrow, sir?
48271Come here.... Look.... Mr. Takma has fallen asleep.... We''d better stay with him till he wakes up, had n''t we?
48271Come, child, what is it? 48271 Could that be what they were talking about?"
48271Could_ she_ know anything?
48271Dead?
48271Dear, is anything the matter? 48271 Deelhof the solicitor was saying the other day...""How much?"
48271Did he die during the night?
48271Did n''t you feel the north, in the air?
48271Did she know anything? 48271 Did she know anything?"
48271Did she know it? 48271 Do n''t be so cross.... Now what about Aunt Thérèse?"
48271Do n''t you know?...
48271Do n''t you then ever think of growing old and of the horror of it?
48271Do n''t_ you_ know how much the old gentleman left?
48271Do you actually feel the south here? 48271 Do you feel certain, Ottilie?"
48271Do you feel so rotten?
48271Do you like your grapes?
48271Do you mean to say that Dr. Roelofsz is dead?
48271Do you really think it so terrible... to grow old... perhaps... later on?
48271Do you remember Grandmamma''s_ baboe_?
48271Do you think he''ll get anything from old Pauws? 48271 Do you think so?"
48271Do you want to go to Mamma''s at once? 48271 Do you want to talk to Hugh alone?"
48271Doctor,said Ina, suddenly,"is it true that, sixty years ago...?"
48271Does Mamma know?
48271Does n''t it tire you, talking?
48271Does she read nicely?
48271Does the old gentleman acknowledge me as his daughter?
48271Eh?
48271Elly, do n''t_ you_ think it terrible to grow old, older every day?...
48271Elly, will you help the mayonnaise? 48271 Elly?"
48271Father, is it a secret?
48271Frits''ll come on presently, wo n''t you, after barracks? 48271 From the Trevelleys?"
48271From whom?
48271Gone for a walk, Lot, gone for a walk? 48271 Grandmamma wo n''t survive them long now.... Uncle, do you know that Aunt Thérèse is coming to the Hague?
48271Grandmamma''s lovers?
48271Grandpapa?
48271Happened? 48271 Harold?"
48271Has anything happened?
48271Has he got Steyn''s room?
48271Have n''t you seen her lately?
48271Have you any more money for me?
48271Have you had a sleep?
48271Have you heard from Elly, Lot?
48271Have you seen her?
48271Have you... have you seen_ him_ lately?
48271He is n''t...?
48271He knew? 48271 He saw?
48271How are things at home, my boy?
48271How are you, Ottilie?
48271How can I help it? 48271 How d''ye do, Stefanie?
48271How did the old man die?
48271How do she and Steyn get on?
48271How do you know it, Ina?
48271How do you know?
48271How do you know?
48271How is Grandmamma to be told? 48271 How is Uncle Harold?...
48271How long has he been ill then?
48271How much do you think the old man will leave?... 48271 How much do you think they''ll have, Papa?"
48271How should I know?
48271How soon can Ottilie be here?
48271How will you find out?
48271I did n''t know you were in Paris.... Are you on your honeymoon?
48271I have come to say good- night.... What were you thinking of so hard, Father?
48271I thought that there was something... moving... over there, under the trees...."What was moving?
48271I thought..."What?
48271I wanted to ask you something, but I dare not...."What are you afraid of, child? 48271 I''d have come to you otherwise: I wanted to speak to you, Lot.... Perhaps I can do so before any one comes....""What is it, Steyn?"
48271I''ll tell you...."Have you quarrelled, has she gone away, has Elly gone away?
48271I''m not disturbing you, I hope? 48271 I?
48271I? 48271 I?
48271I? 48271 I?
48271I?
48271I?
48271I?... 48271 If you were like me, you would n''t have attracted your wife, what do you say, Elly?"
48271In church?
48271In the conservatory?
48271In the street, opposite... or down there, in the road... something white...."Where? 48271 Is Aunt Thérèse upstairs?"
48271Is Dr. Roelofsz dead?
48271Is Mamma quite well?
48271Is Mamma well?
48271Is Reverend Mother at home, sister?
48271Is Uncle Daan ruined?
48271Is Uncle Daan satisfied with the business?
48271Is he ill... or is he... also...."Ill? 48271 Is n''t Hugh my child, is n''t he my son?
48271Is n''t there? 48271 Is that Papa?
48271Is that quite certain?
48271Is that what he says?
48271Is there any one with Mamma?
48271Is there no one with Mamma?
48271Is there no one with her?
48271Is... is he ill, also?...
48271Is_ he_ certain?
48271It has been a long, long, long martyrdom.... O God, can it be that this life is not enough?
48271It''s murder... on a large scale...."Yes, it''s murder...."Does she read you the serial story?
48271Just now?...
48271Ma- Boeten?
48271Mamma, can you tell me? 48271 Mamma,"she said, all of a sudden,"do you know that somebody else is ill?"
48271May n''t I be serious too, once in a way?
48271Money?
48271Mummy, are n''t you in bed yet?
48271My dear, my dear... what is it?
48271No reception?
48271No, Aunt, I agree with Lot.... May I say Aunt?
48271No, Hugh,she replied,"I gave it you all, for the tickets and...""All you had on you?"
48271No, Lot, I''m glad I saw the place, with you; why go back at once and try to repeat...?
48271No, no,said Steyn,"what does Lot want with it?
48271No, not exactly, but..."But what, child?... 48271 No, there''s no one....""Did you think there was some one?"
48271No, who?
48271No, you never said anything... but Mamma''s_ baboe_..."Ma- Boeten?
48271Nothing, Mummy, nothing...."Why are you looking so sad? 48271 Of death?"
48271Of what, Ottilie?
48271Oh, is there nothing moving?
48271Oh, really?... 48271 Oh, so I''m flippant, am I?"
48271Oh?
48271Old things?... 48271 Only sixty?
48271Only sixty? 48271 Only think, I''ve had a letter from Thérèse...""From Aunt Thérèse in Paris?..."
48271Or from Aunt Ottilie? 48271 Out?"
48271Papa''s affairs have n''t gone wrong, have they?
48271Papa, are you ill?
48271Politics do n''t interest you?
48271Remember, Ina, wo n''t you?
48271Roelofsz? 48271 Settle down here at the Hague?
48271Sha''n''t we go now, Anton?
48271Shall I send for Dr. Thielens to come and see you?
48271Shall you look up Aunt Thérèse?
48271Shave me very nicely, wo n''t you, Figaro?
48271She''s my child, surely?
48271Should you say so?
48271Should you say that those old people... are hiding something?
48271Since I came back to Holland, dear?...
48271Sixty years ago.... You were a boy of fifteen then.... Something happened then... that...He looked at her in amazement:"What are you talking about?"
48271Sixty years ago? 48271 Sixty years ago?"
48271Sixty years ago?
48271Sixty years?
48271So at any rate you think my words fine?
48271So no dying, but everlasting resurrection?
48271So you''re going on to Paris to- morrow?
48271So you''re to be married to- morrow? 48271 Something that struck you as terrible?"
48271Something that''s due to us? 48271 Something the matter?"
48271Something? 48271 Stefanus?"
48271Suffer? 48271 That my father tried to kill Takma, with a kris.... That Takma snatched the kris from him, while...""While what?...
48271The doctor?
48271The war?
48271Then can anything have happened?
48271Then he must know something... about the hills, about the_ pasangrahan_...."Ina, what_ can_ it be?
48271Then what has brought Uncle Daan to Holland?
48271Then whom do I get it from? 48271 Then why should_ I_ speak about it?"
48271Theo, Aunt Thérèse''s son?
48271There''s a good many years between you and Grandmamma, is n''t there?
48271This winter?
48271Until Mamma dies?
48271Upstairs?
48271Was Grandpapa buried yesterday?
48271We at home, with Steyn and Mamma: what''s the use of our entertaining people?
48271We said we''d call on them together to- day, did n''t we, Aunt Stefanie?
48271We will wait a little, Aunt.... Tell me, Aunt, do you know why Uncle Daan has really come to Holland?
48271We''re different from Ottilie, Lot, and yet we do n''t grope... or hesitate...."Elly, are you quite sure that you love me?
48271We''ve always got on all right, have n''t we, you and I?
48271Well, Anton, you''re expecting me, are n''t you? 48271 Well, ca n''t I look at a book?"
48271Well, sir, are you pulling round?... 48271 Well, what ca n''t you?"
48271Well, what?
48271Well- well,said the doctor,"d''you think so, Takma?"
48271Well- well- well, here are the children...."Can we go up?
48271Well...?
48271Were you never afraid of getting old?
48271What about?
48271What about?
48271What about?
48271What are all those figures?
48271What are you doing?
48271What are you doing?
48271What are you doing?
48271What did the_ mantri_ say? 48271 What difference does that make?
48271What do you say, doctor?
48271What do you say?
48271What do you think of her?
48271What do you want to do there, all by yourself?
48271What do you want to talk to Hugh about?
48271What does he get for an article?
48271What else did you hear?
48271What has that to do with you? 48271 What have I left?
48271What is it, Dercksz?
48271What is it, Uncle?
48271What is it, dear?
48271What is that?
48271What murder?
48271What shall we do, miss?
48271What sort of thing? 48271 What then?"
48271What was it she saw?
48271What you did not know is that Harold..."Harold? 48271 What''s happened?"
48271What''s she doing there?
48271What''s that, Lot?
48271What''s the matter? 48271 What''s the matter?"
48271What?
48271What?
48271What?
48271When are you going?
48271When did he die?
48271When did she come?
48271When did you sing last?
48271When?
48271Where are the gentlemen,_ baboe_?
48271Where are you going now, children?
48271Where has Steyn gone?
48271Where is your sister, Charles?
48271Where?
48271Which Papa and Uncle Daan..."May have to repay, if..."Do you think so?
48271Which hotel are you going to?
48271While Mamma... while my mother..."Yes- yes?
48271Who can say what he will or will not do again? 48271 Who knows,"thought Lot,"what she may yet feel?
48271Who?
48271Why Aunt Ottilie?
48271Why are you afraid?
48271Why dhoesn''t Dhaan come?
48271Why need the arrival of that young gentleman be kept as a surprise for me to come across in the street?
48271Why not Lot, as Elly''s husband?
48271Why not Lot?
48271Why not, Ottilie?
48271Why not?
48271Why not?
48271Why not?...
48271Why should I tell you that Hugh came with me?
48271Why should n''t we feel the south at once? 48271 Why should_ I_ speak about it, Ina?
48271Why so sad and serious and tempersome lately? 48271 Why you proposed to Elly?
48271Why, Father? 48271 Why, what is it, Lot?"
48271Why?
48271Will the funeral procession go through the Nassaulaan?
48271Will you go to sleep now, you silly Mummy?... 48271 With me?...
48271Wo n''t it tire you, Lot?
48271Wo n''t you tell me?
48271Would it be convenient for her to see me? 48271 Would n''t you let Lot...?"
48271Would you ever believe that Papa was seventy?
48271Would_ you_ mind?
48271Yes, Mamma?...
48271Yes, but is he_ certain?_ No, he is not. 48271 Yes, but we''re here now,"said Lot,"and we must have a talk like sensible people.... Shall we go back to Italy, Elly?"
48271Yes, but_ how_ do you know that there''s something the matter?
48271Yes, child, are n''t you young?...
48271Yes, child?
48271Yes, she''s dead"What did you say her name was?
48271Yes, what''s the matter?
48271Yes, would you like to see her presently?
48271Yes,said Lily,"we might as well be going on, do n''t you think so, Uncle?"
48271Yes- yes... and then?
48271Yes- yes... yes- yes...."What did she see?
48271Yes..."Would you object if they stayed on with us, he and Elly?
48271Yes.... What_ can_ it be?
48271You felt the south just now?
48271You know... everything? 48271 You know?
48271You might speak to Papa, ask him what''s depressing him...."What''s depressing him? 48271 You went to the Conservatoire at Liège?"
48271You''ll sit down first, wo n''t you, Stefanie?
48271You''re going for a walk at this hour?
48271You''re right: what''s the use of wedding- festivities? 48271 You''ve telegraphed to Ottilie?"
48271You, Frans?
48271You?
48271Your pet aversion, Lot?
48271_ Dead?_echoed Steyn, aghast.
48271_ Knew!..._"Harold_ knew?_"Yes!... 48271 _ Must_ you go prying about?"
48271_ Wha- at?_he almost screamed.
48271_ What?_shouted the doctor, deaf.
48271_ What?_shouted the doctor, no longer deaf, but dismayed.
48271_ What_, Aunt?
48271Adèle, are you going up?"
48271Ah, why could she not have died while she was young?
48271Aha, oh, there?...
48271All my life is given to singing....""Why do you only sing at concerts, Ottilie?
48271Am I afraid?
48271And I shall do some writing.... Is Hugh at home?"
48271And Uncle Daan repeated, in a whisper:"Have you known it all this time?"
48271And at Nice Ottilie.... Elly, you know that Ottilie lives with an Italian, she''s not married: will you be willing to see her all the same?"
48271And behind them: what did he keep behind those Latin books?
48271And he tries to utter a scream of fright, but his fright prevents him.... What are they doing, what is happening?
48271And he went on at once to his brother- in- law Harold Dercksz, whom he found at home after lunch:"Harold,"he asked,"what are we to do about Mamma?
48271And he, in his turn, caught hold of one of Daan Dercksz''buttons:"_ What_ have you heard?"
48271And how is Mamma, Charles?
48271And how_ should_ she ever know?
48271And is_ she_ dead now?"
48271And that''s always the way.... How do I come to be so unruffled with such a little fury of a Mamma?"
48271And the companion and Anna, who now went up to her together excitedly, asked:"Mevrouw, mevrouw, what''s the matter?
48271And the doctor mumbled:"Yes- yes, aha, oh, is that what you were asking, Ina?...
48271And the heliotrope, delicious, eh?
48271And to- day it is much stronger than his whole being; and he asks the very old woman:"Was your companion reading the paper to you?"
48271And what did he care about that brat which they had christened Antoinette after him?
48271And what was it about?
48271And what was she to do with her knowledge, with what she alone knew?...
48271And who do you think I saw as well?
48271And who''s benefited by it?
48271And you?"
48271And, if it was a legacy, how much?...
48271And, when that hundred thousand was finished-- in... in a couple of years, perhaps-- what would poor Mamma do then?
48271And... and will you see Ottilie there?"
48271Anna said:"Oh, is that you, ma''am?
48271Are n''t they my children, my own children?
48271Are n''t you well?
48271Are n''t you well?"
48271Are you also siding with that brute against your mother?
48271Are you coming with your master?"
48271Are you going out all the same, this afternoon?"
48271Are you going to Mamma''s too?"
48271Are you going to call on her?
48271Are you really going now, Elly?
48271Are you staying a little longer?"
48271Are you_ sixty?_... Child, do you mean to tell me you''re sixty?"
48271Are you_ sixty?_... Child, do you mean to tell me you''re sixty?"
48271Art, eh, art for art''s sake?...
48271As to_ what_ it is...""But what could it be?"
48271Aunt Floor looked at her stupidly:"What''s brought him?...
48271Aunt Ottilie?
48271Auntie,_ ca n''t_ you remember?"
48271Besides, why should Steyn give Lot anything?"
48271But I did see him for many, many years.... You never saw him?"
48271But I sometimes ask myself, am I not throwing away my life for nothing?
48271But I....""Well?"
48271But Mamma is still in bed, is n''t she, Anna?..."
48271But Papa hoped that, before very long...""What?"
48271But Takma brought his geniality into play:"You, Ottilie?
48271But he wavered and merely remarked, hesitatingly, to Ina:"Are n''t you going upstairs, Ina?"
48271But is he certain?
48271But she said:"Well,_ if_ it rains, may I see you home?...
48271But she shrugged her shoulders: what did it matter?
48271But still I heard Uncle Daan say to Papa,''Have you known it all this time?''
48271But the brothers were consulting Steyn: what did he think?
48271But then what was it?...
48271But there was a ring at the door; and it was Stefanie de Laders, tripping along very nervously:"Does n''t Mamma know yet?"
48271But there''s such a lot of it, such a lot of it.... Could I write a fine history of civilization, I wonder?...
48271But what could have happened with Elly?
48271But what shall we do, Elly?
48271But what''s the use of talking about it?
48271But where''s Elly?"
48271But why do you say that?"
48271But why those legal ties?...
48271But, if I were helpless, what would there be for_ me?_... You, you''re young still."
48271But, in that case, why grow older, in ever- increasing loneliness?
48271But, of course, you''re only this moment married.... Well, I''ll see you to your hotel.... Shall we walk?
48271But, on the other hand, what''s the use of all that fuss, as Lot says?
48271But-- the thought was irrepressible-- why get married?
48271But... of_ him!_""Do you believe... that you will see him again?"
48271But_ I''ve_ been wondering to myself, could Uncle Daan have lost all his money?
48271CHAPTER XII Old Mr. Pauws came to meet them at the station, in the evening, at Brussels:"My dear boy, my_ dear_ boy, how are you?
48271Ca n''t Papa hear them?
48271Can it be..._ is_ that my father?"
48271Come here for a second.... Pluck a few pears, will you?
48271Come round to- morrow, to- morrow evening... after the wedding.... And, when you want anything, ask me, do you see?
48271Could he help seeing himself as he was?
48271Could it have to do with a legacy?"
48271Could n''t he say to Elly, who was so sensible, that he preferred to live unbound with her?...
48271Did Aunt Stefanie know about it?
48271Did I murder him?"
48271Did Mamma know that with any of her husbands?
48271Did he not know himself only too well?
48271Did he pretend not to see himself as he was?
48271Did people ever know anything?...
48271Did she remember, as she sat in her straight- backed chair, in that red twilight of the window- curtains?...
48271Do n''t you care about opera?
48271Do n''t you want to get married in church either, Elly?"
48271Do you call_ me_ young?..."
48271Do you know that?
48271Do you like caviare, with these toasted rolls?"
48271Do you promise?"
48271Do you think I want to see that scoundrel?
48271Do you think there''s room for the three of us?
48271Do you think we could afford it?
48271Do you want something?"
48271Do you want to get us both taken up... for murder?"
48271Does everything grow old then, do even the immortals grow old?
48271Does n''t the_ oppas_ hear?...
48271Elly''s father...""Well?"
48271Elly, just ring the bell, will you?
48271Even the dog had just gone off with Steyn: no living creature was nice to her; and why need Lot suddenly go getting married now?
48271Frans?...
48271Go and live in the country, when the winter is over?"
48271Grandmamma?
48271Great albums and portfolios: what was in them?
48271Had he the right to wish it, for himself... and for her?
48271Had it anything to do with money: a legacy to which they were entitled?...
48271Had n''t they enough with their youth and their two vigorous bodies, that they must go coveting his few thousand guilders?
48271Had she her secrets, as he had his, the secrets of his sullen hedonism?
48271Had she not lost everything that she had ever possessed?
48271Had she really grown older?...
48271Harold Dercksz cast about for a word in palliation; he said:"The women were fond of Anton...""Women?
48271Harold saw?"
48271Have n''t you any idea?
48271Have you been crying?"
48271Have you the money for it?"
48271He has been so depressed since he saw Uncle Daan again.... Steyn, do n''t_ you_ know why Uncle Daan has come to Holland?"
48271He is not certain: I know for certain that he does not know for certain.... Why should we bind ourselves with legal ties?
48271He lies and shakes.... How long does it last?
48271He lives in Brussels, does n''t he?"
48271He loves me...""And you will get married?"
48271He murmured heartily, though his salutation was indistinct:"Well, Ottilie?...
48271He must have left Aunt Ottilie something, but how much?
48271He remained standing, irresolutely.... What should he do?...
48271He smiled: he was not a bad sort, there were worse than he; but, in Heaven''s name, why was he getting married?
48271He stood by your bedside for a moment, but you did n''t know him....""Have I been as ill as all that?"
48271He was frightened at first, but now he is cold rather and shivers and does not know why.... What can be happening?
48271He''s the husband of Mamma... who comes into money too... with you...""Mamma?"
48271He, was he Takma''s grandson?
48271His voice mumbled; she did not understand what he meant:"Were you a little confused?"
48271How are you?...
48271How d''ye do, Anton?
48271How did Harold know?
48271How does he come to be here,_ in this house?_""Ah,"said Hugh,"you''re no end of a swell to- day!
48271How long does it last?...
48271How long was it?
48271How long was that ago?
48271How many are there?
48271How- do, Takma?...
48271Hysterical?
48271I also am young still, am I not?...
48271I asked Dhaan,''Dhaan, what on ear- r- rth do you want to gho to Gholland for?''
48271I ca n''t reach them, no more can Lot... Elly, have you seen my grapes?
48271I can not even walk about with it, roam about with it, forget myself in movement....""Ottilie, why are you talking about it so much to- day?
48271I did n''t know what to do, my boy, and at last...""Well?"
48271I do n''t expect you''re tired, are you?
48271I do n''t say that I have got so far myself; but that is_ my_ artistic ideal....""Then will you never write any more novels?"
48271I do worry about money sometimes, because of Lily, who married on nothing: what have Frits and Lily to live on?
48271I felt that I must see Harold, see you, see Mamma, see Takma....""_ Why?_""I do n''t know, I had to see you all.
48271I knew that you...""Did the_ mantri_ know... about_ me?_""Through Ma- Boeten."
48271I only sit and wait.... Look, is n''t that something passing?..."
48271I saw nothing, nothing.... Are you ready?
48271I suppose Elly will get everything?..."
48271I wonder if she is still with her Italian.... Do you know how she met him?
48271I''m glad to have the opportunity of congratulating you.... Mamma?
48271I''m in pain...""Where?"
48271I''m not interrupting you... in your business?"
48271I''ve got a carriage: shall we go home at once?
48271I...""You know?"
48271I_ feel_...""What?"
48271If Hugh is without an appointment for the moment, ca n''t I send him some money?
48271If they want money, ca n''t I send it to them?
48271In the air?"
48271Ina?"
48271Is Aunt Thérèse coming here?"
48271Is Granny better to- day?
48271Is he so fast asleep?
48271Is it about money?"
48271Is it because I am going to be married?"
48271Is it money?"
48271Is it really necessary that we should go and look at those brats?"
48271Is it really_ true?_""It''s true!
48271Is it true?
48271Is n''t it my money?
48271Is she here too?"
48271Is there no news?...
48271Is there nothing I can do for you?
48271It may be business- matters....""No, dear, it''s not business- matters....""Well, then, what_ is_ it?"
48271It might be a pergola, might n''t it?
48271It seems so strange to me, to have you sitting here... but I''m very glad of it.... Was I so ill that Mamma had to telegraph?
48271It''s bad enough of you to object to my seeing much of them, but am I to break with them altogether?
48271It''s charming, is n''t it, Elly?
48271It''s cold, raw weather, is n''t it?...
48271It''s nothing, nothing at all.... Is Dr. Roelofsz dead?"
48271It''s two years since I saw her.... What will she be like?
48271It''s very sad.... Is no one upstairs except Stefanie?
48271Just imagine, if Papa was ruined, what should they do?
48271Just look at my trellis- work of vines?
48271Latin?"
48271Look at my pears: did you ever see such big ones?
48271Look at that whole shelf of Latin books: was Anton as learned as that?
48271Look on while she squanders her money on that boy?
48271Look on?
48271Look out for a smaller house and settle down?
48271Lot and Miss Elly?..."
48271Lot entered the room:"What''s the matter?"
48271Lot...""Hugh...?"
48271Mary, John, Hugh: when do I see Hugh?
48271Modern life goes on?..."
48271Mr. Takma found Ottilie Steyn de Weert waiting downstairs:"You here still, child?"
48271Mr. Takma was well off, was n''t he?
48271Must I give you one?
48271Must they come around him, now that he was growing older?
48271My own dear boy, my_ d- dar- ling:_ when do I see him?
48271No religious ceremony?"
48271No, give it here, Lot, I''ll carve.... And your wedding was very quiet?
48271No?
48271Not because I do n''t admire Lot''s books, I hope?
48271Not everybody lived to be so old as Mamma or Mr. Takma; and she, after all, was seventy- seven: was n''t that a fine age?
48271Nothing....""Oh, my boy, my boy, what''s the matter with you?"
48271Now she is old and what has she left?
48271Of the_ baboe_[1]...""Ma- Boeten?"
48271Oh dear, oh dear, who knows what it can be?
48271Oh, child, are you really sixty?
48271Oh, did he not know himself?
48271Oh, it''s not money that matters to him, child: what matters to him is... is...""What, Grandad?"
48271Oh, not that it interests me to know: other people''s money- matters are_ le moindre de mes soucis!..._ Do n''t you think Papa very depressed, Steyn?
48271Oh, to whom, to whom was she to turn?
48271Oh, was it possible that she might soon return, worn out, and fall asleep in his arms?
48271Oh, what was it, what could it be?
48271Oh, what was the use of insisting?
48271Oh, why had he not remained nice to her, old though she was?
48271Oh,_ baboe, baboe,_ what are we to do?..."
48271Oh?
48271Oh?
48271Old Takma nodded his head:"It''s more than sixty years...""Wha- at?"
48271Only imagine...""Well, what, Lot?"
48271Or go abroad again, go back to Italy?...
48271Or was it Steyn sneaking out again?
48271Or was she thinking of hidden things in her life, things sunk in her life as in a deep, deep pool?
48271Or was there a hereafter yet to come, with more struggling and more remorse and penitence... and punishment perhaps?...
48271Ottilie drew herself up:"Well?"
48271Ottilie entered, anxiously:"Are you awake, Lot?"
48271Ottilie smiled; and Lot stood up:"There,"he said,"give me a kiss.... Wo n''t you?
48271Ought he not rather to hope that she would persevere and live according to the career which she herself had chosen?
48271Papa got up at dessert and said, courteously:"Do you mind, Ina?
48271Papa has slept in the bed, but is not there now.... Where is Papa?...
48271Pauws said:"How can you be such a baby, Lot?"
48271Pauws?"
48271Petersburg?"
48271Poor Grandad, so he''s had a bad night?..."
48271Roelofsz?"
48271Sat waiting... for what?
48271Send me your photographs, wo n''t you?"
48271Shall I ever see her again?
48271Shall we go this afternoon?"
48271Shall we go?"
48271Shall we have a good lunch somewhere afterwards, or shall I be in the way?
48271She found him in his office:"Leopold, can I speak to you?"
48271She had her bit of money now: what_ was_ a hundred thousand guilders, if it was not properly looked after?
48271She had married three times.... Perhaps Ottilie was right after all?
48271She stopped outside his door, recovered her breath, knocked, opened the door and went in with a calm step:"How are you this morning, Grandad?"
48271She too has grown old; and what are we to her?...
48271She tried to withdraw her sentence, not to complete it; but the old woman had at once seized the meaning of those few words:"He''s dead?"
48271She was fond of it, was fond of every piece of furniture in it.... Or would Elly keep the house on?
48271She was frightened and, stealing noiselessly to the door, she opened it and called:"Anna... Anna....""Yes, ma''am?"
48271She went up and kissed him:"I hear you did not sleep well?"
48271Should she go and ask him?
48271Should she put them away, in the wallet, for Steyn?
48271Should she tear them up?
48271Slowly he went down the stairs; and his heart thumped like a young man''s.... Where would she be?
48271So he merely wiped his son''s forehead with some eau- de- Cologne which he saw standing there and asked:"Are you better, old chap?..."
48271So old as those two old people were?...
48271So thin, so thin: had he wasted away so much in a week?
48271So this is Elly?
48271So to- morrow is the great day, Ottilie?"
48271So you know, Dercksz, you_ know?_""Yes, I know."
48271Some more mayonnaise, Elly?
48271Something that''s not quite proper?"
48271Sometimes...""Yes?"
48271Steyn has nothing, has he, Father?
48271Steyn himself would think it odd if I called him Papa.... Do you like the hat like this?
48271Such big children?
48271Suppose I_ was_ mistaken in their father, are n''t they my own children, just as much as you and Ottilie?
48271Sure?
48271Surely, my own child...?"
48271Takma?"
48271Takma?"
48271Takma?"
48271Takma?"
48271Takma?...
48271Tell Mamma of Dr. Roelofsz''death, or keep it from her?...
48271Tell me, when?
48271That cad... for whom you left my father?
48271That is, if you wo n''t have a carriage?"
48271That''s a thing you do n''t suffer from, slack nerves, eh, old chap?
48271The beautiful Lietje?
48271The companion had gone, when the old woman asked, suddenly:"And... and Mr. Takma, Ottilie?"
48271The daughter was startled by the expression on her mother''s face; the dark eyes stared wide...."Mamma, Mamma, what''s the matter?"
48271The doctor started, tottering on his legs, and at last drew up his shapeless bulk and cried:"What is it?
48271The house was now quiet for the night, though it was not yet eleven.... Had she been asleep?
48271The old gentleman felt bewildered for a moment:"Ottilie?"
48271The old man suddenly became very uncertain in his speech:"Do n''t do... do n''t do anything rash.....""What do you mean?.
48271The vision?
48271Then Steyn went to Aunt Adèle; and she asked:"Could n''t we tidy up those papers in the old gentleman''s study, Steyn?
48271Then he can find another happiness, perhaps the lasting one.... What do we poor creatures know?...
48271Then she asked:"Are you ill, Father dear?"
48271Then the months and years pass quietly.... Why are you suddenly talking so very much about it to- day?"
48271Then why should n''t I speak of authors as entertainers?
48271Then, becoming indifferent, he grinned, with eyes like slits:"And what have you seen?"
48271There was a knock; and a woman''s head, crowned with a large black hat, appeared through the open door:"May I come in?"
48271They met the reverend mother in the passage; she was on her way to the chapel:"How did you find your aunt?"
48271They said that...""That a native... with a kris... because of a woman...?"
48271They went past, they went past and loitered and loitered.... Oh, why did they not go faster?...
48271They were all old people now, but... if they had been young now, with modern views, would they have married?
48271They were passing.... Would they come to him, who was still young?
48271This room''s warm, but upstairs, yes- yes, it''s very chilly.... Takma''s always blazing hot inside, eh- eh?
48271Thérèse was quite right to become a Catholic.... Oh, why do I never see her now?
48271Trevelley went out, Mamma would say,''Hugh, where are you going?''
48271Tuck me in at the back, will you?...
48271Uncle Anton?
48271Waiting what for?
48271Was he a cousin of Elly''s?...
48271Was he a man for marriage?
48271Was it Lot coming home?
48271Was it Lot?
48271Was it Steyn?
48271Was it Takma?
48271Was it a big legacy?...
48271Was it beginning so early?
48271Was it coming at last?
48271Was she about to fall ill and die?
48271Was she on her guard?
48271Was she, his sister, a woman, stronger in her views of life than he, a man?...
48271Was that their punishment,_ their_ punishment, the punishment of both of them?
48271Was that woman forty?
48271Was that... was that he coming now?
48271Was the streak continued in her or... was she right and he wrong?
48271Was_ that_ why he had come to Holland?
48271We are too early for the season; but what do we care for smart people?...
48271We ca n''t tell her, can we?"
48271We ought all to be placed under restraint... but whose?
48271Well, suppose he wrote a novel: a novel about two old people like that... and about the murder in Java?
48271Were they merely jokes which she did not understand?...
48271Were they really sitting there as father, mother and child?
48271What am I to do here for five months?
48271What are Mamma and Mr. Takma and Ma- Boeten doing out there in the night?...
48271What came over Dhaan, to want to come to Gholland at this s time of year, I cannott make out....""Why did n''t you stay behind in India, Aunt?"
48271What can I do to stop it?
48271What can it be?
48271What can it matter to you?
48271What could it be?
48271What could it be?...
48271What did she guess?
48271What did she know?
48271What do they talk about?
48271What do you imagine?
48271What do you know about your mother''s money?
48271What do you want me to say, my boy?
48271What good am I to her or she to me?
48271What had Ma- Boeten told him?
48271What had happened?...
48271What had she overheard perhaps... in the conservatory, as she came to them?...
48271What had she, whom had she left?
48271What had they been talking about?
48271What is it?
48271What keeps you so young?"
48271What made you say that?"
48271What makes them come to Holland so suddenly, in the winter?
48271What other room would you have me give him?
48271What should I be afraid of?
48271What the devil, he thought, in a dull, gathering rage, did he care about those young people?
48271What then?
48271What voice had called to him when the letter, half- destroyed and too long preserved, dropped from the hand that played him false?...
48271What voices had he heard, what voice had he heard calling?
48271What was a hundred thousand... to Hugh?
48271What was an instant of love with a still seductive and beautiful woman?
48271What was it all, what were those things and people and bodies and attitudes?
48271What was it that happened?"
48271What was it, what could it be that Papa had known for sixty years, that Uncle Daan had learnt quite lately and that had brought him to Holland?
48271What was it, what could it be?
48271What was she to do, what was she to do with it all?...
48271What was that creaking on the stairs?
48271What was the matter?
48271What was there for her to do now?
48271What was there left of her life?
48271What were a few pleasant, intelligent, artistic friends at Naples, with whom he chatted and dined now and again at a restaurant?
48271What''s depressing you?"
48271What''s it all about, Steyn?"
48271What''s it called?"
48271What''s the matter with you?"
48271What''s the matter?
48271What... what_ do_ you know?"
48271What?"
48271What?...
48271What_ is_ it?"
48271When do I see him?
48271When do I see them?
48271When''s the funeral?"
48271When?
48271When?"
48271Where could Steyn be going?
48271Where is she?
48271Where on earth did he go to every evening?
48271Where was Elly?
48271Where was his wife?
48271Which of her children was any use or comfort to her, except that dear Lot?
48271Who can tell what the years may bring?
48271Who could tell?
48271Who is there now to think and talk about things that are so long past?"
48271Who knows what I shall be saying or doing in a year''s time?
48271Who knows what may be waiting for him to- morrow, what emotion, what passion, what love?...
48271Who knows?
48271Who knows?
48271Who speaks out properly in our family?"
48271Why did I propose to Elly?"
48271Why did she wake suddenly?
48271Why did they all live to be so old and why did the Thing pass so slowly?...
48271Why do you speak like that?
48271Why had he proposed to Elly?...
48271Why had they come?
48271Why had they married?
48271Why must they grow so old?...
48271Why not cull a moment of happiness?
48271Why was he getting married?
48271Why, what''s the matter, my boy?"
48271Why, why get married?
48271Will it bore you?"
48271Will you come, Elly?"
48271Will you have chartreuse or benedictine?
48271Will you stay upstairs, or are you coming down to lunch?"
48271Will you tell her that I have come to call on her?"
48271Wo n''t he wake?
48271Worry?"
48271Would Steyn come back soon?
48271Would he hold his tongue?
48271Would she have time to look?
48271Would she not lose Lot, have to part with him to Elly... as she had had to part with everything and everybody?...
48271Would the_ mantri_ go on holding his tongue?
48271Would they have married?
48271Would you ask him to come to me?"
48271Would_ he_ escape the family curse?
48271Yes, I asked Dr. Thielens:''Doctor,''I said,''is it a good thing that Mrs. Thérèse keeps praying all day long by the mistress''bed?''
48271Yes, I expect she knew....""What_ was_ it, Uncle?
48271Yes, how can you expect a family like ours to keep up a circle of decent acquaintances?...
48271Yes, this evening she was in a serious mood and felt like thinking, a thing which otherwise she did as seldom as possible: what good did thinking do?
48271Yes, yes, certainly: Grandmamma... Grandmamma was a splendid, a splendid woman... even after she was past her first youth....""And what about Ottilie?
48271Yes, yes, she''ll outlive us all yet.... Would you mind waiting a minute, in the morning- room?
48271Yes- yes, that counts, yes- yes.... No,_ I_ can do nothing more, what do you say?
48271Yes- yes, while what?"
48271Yes- yes, yes- yes, a beast: do n''t I know him?
48271Yes... aha... Takma, what made you talk about it?...
48271You did n''t know me....""Did you... speak to Mamma?"
48271You do n''t think me too old, your_ blasé_ husband?...
48271You enjoyed it, after all, and we were working together so pleasantly.... We were very happy there, were n''t we, Elly?"
48271You know everything?...
48271You know, Ina, Aunt Ottilie is...""Takma''s daughter?"
48271You see, Elly, I''m getting... too old to write for very young people; and who else reads novels?"
48271You''ve something so hard about your face, something I''ve never seen there before.... Tell me, dear, you are happy, are n''t you?"
48271Your brother?"
48271[ 2] Now he was going to be married; he was no longer young, for a young man; he must be thirty- eight, surely?
48271_ Has_ she anything to reproach herself with, more than her infidelity to the man who was her husband?
48271_ How_ did Harold know?"
48271_ What_ did n''t I know?"
48271_ What_ had Papa known for sixty years?
48271_ What_ had Uncle Daan only known for such a short time?...
48271_ What_ was it that Papa had known for sixty years and Uncle Daan for only such a short time?
48271_ What_ was it that they were hiding?
48271_ What_ was it?
48271aimless?..."
48271dead?"
48271passing?"
40657''Indeed,''said the other,''do you not know that? 40657 ''What do you want, little friend?''
40657''Who is that?'' 40657 ''Who planted the linden hedge there?''
40657A cigarette? 40657 A real, ordinary brother?"
40657A thousand years?
40657A violin? 40657 About your little key, do you mean?"
40657Ah, Wistik, why should I ask? 40657 Already?
40657Already? 40657 Although he should starve?"
40657Am I a human being?
40657Am I going to be happy?
40657Among human beings?
40657And Simon?
40657And Windekind? 40657 And do ye mean to say it''s my fault that my children perish with hunger, and not the fault of those cursed blood- suckers?
40657And do you know Wistik, too? 40657 And do you know what helped me most to give it up?
40657And do you see that clever contrivance he has made of mirrors and copper tubes? 40657 And has Daatje, too, need of privations?
40657And have you grown still wiser?
40657And that young Hollander? 40657 And the little key, and the book, and Windekind?"
40657And the monkey, Mama? 40657 And then shall we go together?"
40657And then?
40657And what if I am in doubt?
40657And why does he not come oftener, and stay longer? 40657 And yet be thankful only for all those delicious things?
40657Are n''t you hungry, man? 40657 Are n''t you well?"
40657Are not you Fighting- Ants, then?
40657Are not, then, railroads and cities and factories necessities?
40657Are there people here?
40657Are there plant- spirits, too, Wistik?
40657Are there so many?
40657Are there such things?
40657Are they also better than he is?
40657Are they goin''to poison''i m?
40657Are they right, Windekind?
40657Are we falling down below?
40657Are we going to be shipwrecked?
40657Are you a girl?
40657Are you a human being?
40657Are you a man?
40657Are you a poet?
40657Are you afraid already? 40657 Are you afraid?"
40657Are you converted, too, Daatje?
40657Are you going along?
40657Are you going to finish it, Jo?
40657Are you going to leave us, Markus?
40657Are you going with me? 40657 Are you jealous?"
40657Are you looking for new apprentices?
40657Are you mad, you lazy boy? 40657 Are you not going to give it a look, Johannes?
40657Are you not going with me?
40657Are you not told to recompense evil with good? 40657 Are you sketching me?"
40657Are you sorry for that? 40657 Are you sure, Johannes?"
40657Are you tipsy, there, or tired of life? 40657 Art Thou Jesus-- Art Thou God?"
40657Aunt Serà © na,said Johannes, over the top of his penny magazine,"do you know what else you ought to count in?"
40657Aunt Serà © na?
40657But Beethoven wore a high, black hat, did he not, father? 40657 But are there not, for the Father, any evil- doers?"
40657But are they not all there, Jo?
40657But do not you care, Marjon?
40657But does it exist?
40657But how am I to begin? 40657 But how can that make you feel so desperate, my boy?
40657But how does it move?
40657But how, then,cried Johannes,"how?
40657But if He makes you ill, and lets you be ill- treated? 40657 But if I must act?"
40657But in what book, then, do you think the truth is told?
40657But the little book, Pluizer? 40657 But was it_ good_ guidance?"
40657But what do you mean, friend Hein? 40657 But what do you mean?"
40657But what is to prevent all that,_ now_? 40657 But what then is the name of the Great Light, Windekind?
40657But what then? 40657 But who is Markus, Marjon?
40657But why is it so intolerable to think that another will obtain that which we hold dear? 40657 But why, Johannes, can you not assure us about that of which I have so often asked?"
40657But why, Mevrouw?
40657But why, then, was he so sad when I asked him about you?
40657But would it not be well for us to introduce him to the Pleiades?
40657But, Johannes, why have you never told me that? 40657 But, Johannes,"said the countess,"why was not your friend in a burial club?
40657But, Johannes,she once asked,"how do you know all these things?
40657But, Markus, how can I, without you, help people in their sorrow? 40657 But, Mousie, why do you stay in this neighborhood?
40657But, Mr. Singh, can you not, just for this one time, show us something? 40657 But, Pluizer, is there then no little key?
40657But, Windekind, where are the cities? 40657 But, father,"asked Gerbrand,"when is it right to fight, and when is it not?"
40657But, what do you say, then? 40657 Can I give truth, Johannes, where it is not?"
40657Can I have dreamed everything? 40657 Can it not... can it not... from the poor fund...?"
40657Can not you look out for yourself better than that?
40657Can they see me?
40657Can we do it?
40657Can you fancy, Johannes, what that would signify to me to my children... if it were true?
40657Can you not put yourself into communication with her?
40657Can you prevent me? 40657 Can you sing?"
40657Come, come, my boy,said the professor,"are you trying to make sport of us?
40657Could I have been sleep- walking?
40657Could I?
40657Could one get there, and go in?
40657Could you have explained to your forefathers how an electric vehicle of your own time was propelled?
40657Damn ye, are ye a workman?
40657Dante?
40657Did Beethoven fight, father?
40657Did I do that?
40657Did King Oberon speak with you?
40657Did he give you the little key?
40657Did he hit you hard?
40657Did she see you?
40657Did you ever hear the crickets evenings in the dunes? 40657 Did you ever see anything like it?
40657Did you get him out?
40657Did you hear Helà © ne?
40657Did you hear him? 40657 Did you not speak of privileges I must renounce?"
40657Did you not think it a remarkable evening?
40657Did your Saviour when upon earth wear cloth of silver and of gold? 40657 Do I look like them?"
40657Do I not see another air- ship, Windekind? 40657 Do all men now speak the same language?"
40657Do any of you happen to know?
40657Do n''t you know that?
40657Do n''t you wish you could make such poems as that''fop''can?
40657Do the people also see him?
40657Do you also know, Johannes?
40657Do you believe in God, Johannes?
40657Do you believe in it?
40657Do you believe it?
40657Do you believe that I am very bad, Wistik?
40657Do you count me in with them?
40657Do you dare steal?
40657Do you esteem the kingdom of God a trifle, that you array yourself and rejoice, while the world still lies in despair and in shackles? 40657 Do you happen to be a human being?"
40657Do you happen to have any? 40657 Do you have to stay here all the time, in this dark passage?"
40657Do you hear that moaning? 40657 Do you hear the bells, Johannes?"
40657Do you hear the moaning still? 40657 Do you hear, Johannes?
40657Do you know Wistik, too?
40657Do you know him?
40657Do you know that your king is at the party?
40657Do you know then?...
40657Do you know us?
40657Do you know what he would say?
40657Do you know where he is?
40657Do you know, Johannes,he continued,"a great defect in Wistik?
40657Do you mean Father Canisius?
40657Do you mean God?
40657Do you mean Markus Vis?
40657Do you mean a heavenly Father? 40657 Do you mean the Countess?"
40657Do you mean the Pope?
40657Do you not believe me?
40657Do you not hear me?
40657Do you not hear what they are singing? 40657 Do you not know about it, Robinetta, and where to find it?
40657Do you not know me? 40657 Do you not know that yet?
40657Do you not know? 40657 Do you not see what it says over it?"
40657Do you not see, Johannes, that it has all been imagination? 40657 Do you not see?
40657Do you not think him nice? 40657 Do you not think so, Mijnheer van Lieverlee?--Very, very interesting?"
40657Do you not understand? 40657 Do you perchance belong to the family?"
40657Do you recollect what Markus said about remembering?
40657Do you remember him?
40657Do you remember that he said he should soon go away from us?
40657Do you remember what I told you about the field- laborers? 40657 Do you see my flower?"
40657Do you speak in the name of the Triune God? 40657 Do you take me for a theologian-- or for an apostle?"
40657Do you think as much of him as I do?
40657Do you think he will take better care of you than I do, Johannes?
40657Do you think it good?
40657Do you understand anything about it, Birdling?
40657Do you, Bet?
40657Do you? 40657 Doctor Cijfer, have you forgotten me?"
40657Does a converted person keep on doing wrong?
40657Does he often have those whims, Johannes,asked Dr. Cijfer,"when he will not speak?"
40657Does it hurt still?
40657Does that puzzle you? 40657 Dreamed?"
40657Even if you knew, how would it help you?
40657Father,whispered Gerbrand,"surely we are now the happiest and the mightiest beings in the universe, are we not?"
40657For whom, then?
40657God?
40657Has ever a thirsty one continued to wander away from the water, after recognizing his mistake? 40657 Has not Vrouw Huber a spare garment for her?"
40657Has the grace of God become here evident to all, like a shining aureole of wisdom and love and beauty? 40657 Have Pan and Windekind known you, Brother?"
40657Have you any aunts, Marjon?
40657Have you been listening, Markus?
40657Have you been next door?
40657Have you been singing much?
40657Have you come from Windekind?
40657Have you come to register yourself?
40657Have you enough to get there with?
40657Have you forgotten me, Johannes? 40657 Have you forgotten what Death said?
40657Have you found your poor friend?
40657Have you got at it?
40657Have you had a good time?
40657Have you lodgings for us, Vrouw Schimmel?
40657Have you lost anything, little fellow? 40657 Have you never had good guidance, my boy?
40657Have you never seen your father?
40657Have you read all the writings of Phillipus Aureolus Paracelsus Theophrastus Bombastus ab Hohenheim, born in 1493, died in 1541?
40657Have you struck it?
40657Have you such types in Holland, also? 40657 Have you, indeed?"
40657Have you, too, served me a trick?
40657Have you-- ah-- known the family here for long?
40657He has heard of a certain book which tells why everything is as it is; and we are going together to find that book, are we not?
40657Hell? 40657 Hey, Markus, do you greet Kees before you do us?"
40657Hollanders?
40657How about your little comrade?
40657How can all this be in me at the same time?
40657How can that be?
40657How can that which is evil avail for ever? 40657 How can there be any need of your being so plain and sad?
40657How can they ever be cheerful?
40657How can truth be found through untruth?
40657How could I know that?
40657How could that be?
40657How dare you despise it? 40657 How did it end?"
40657How did you come to talk about it to human beings? 40657 How do I know?
40657How do you do, Wistik?
40657How do you do?
40657How do you do?
40657How do you know who I am?
40657How is it, Markus? 40657 How is that possible?
40657How long has he been there?
40657How much have we earned?
40657How would you possibly find your King? 40657 I became fond of another.... Do you think less of me for that?"
40657I ca n''t understand a bit of it? 40657 I know it is not... but....""Your friend may go with you, you know; or does she not care to?"
40657I must go now, Johannes, but will you not take another walk with me? 40657 I ought to explain to him who Windekind, Wisterik, or-- What is his name?
40657If that should take place, Mevrouw, do you fancy that I could remain with you? 40657 If the children are silent here, who is there to speak sense?"
40657If we, poor souls, forgive those who unconsciously wrong us, will not our Father forgive us? 40657 Impossible?
40657In the proletarian class?
40657In what?
40657Is Lord Crimmetart also so clever, Professor?
40657Is Mijnheer van Lieverlee coming soon?
40657Is Oberon here? 40657 Is Windekind here, too, Wistik?"
40657Is any one else going?
40657Is he a friend of yours?
40657Is he a tall dark fellow with a beard, and curling hair, and a jumper?
40657Is he going to die?
40657Is he not?
40657Is he vexed because we are not eating anything?
40657Is he your brother?
40657Is it Italy?
40657Is it enough that I am wiser, Johannes? 40657 Is it not a frightful thought,"said Countess Dolores,"that the poor girl can not yet have rest, but must do penance for her sinful deed?"
40657Is it not frightful here?
40657Is it only a dream, then?
40657Is it true? 40657 Is not that finer than the noise of human beings, Johannes?
40657Is not that nice? 40657 Is not this a great find?
40657Is not this a surprise, Johannes?
40657Is she not a wonderful woman, Johannes? 40657 Is she really so lovely?"
40657Is that Dutch, now?
40657Is that all true?
40657Is that always the way-- always?
40657Is that enough?
40657Is that enough?
40657Is that so, Johannes? 40657 Is that so?
40657Is that so? 40657 Is that so?
40657Is that so? 40657 Is that so?"
40657Is that true, really true?
40657Is that you? 40657 Is that your own idea?"
40657Is that--?
40657Is the book here?
40657Is the whole world as beautiful now, and as well cared for, as my own country?
40657Is the young gentleman a novice in psychical fields?
40657Is there a Book of the Goblins, too, Wistik?
40657Is there any good in that?
40657Is there no help for it, Sister?
40657Is there no hope for me?
40657Is there really such a book?
40657Is there to be a debate?
40657Is this really I? 40657 Is your friend so very poor?"
40657Is_ she_, then, not good and first- rate? 40657 It is a fearful feeling, is it not?"
40657It is not_ your_ first day, though, Markus, is it? 40657 It is well for you that He does not do otherwise, for where then were your salvation?
40657Just go into the doctor''s room, will you?
40657Lodgings? 40657 Love for whom, Windekind-- for one another, or for God?"
40657Marjon,said Johannes, musingly, hesitating an instant before he consented,"do you know who Pluizer is?"
40657Marjon,said Johannes,"how did you know so certainly yesterday that there was nothing to be afraid of?"
40657Marjon? 40657 Markus Vis?"
40657Markus Vis?
40657Markus only?
40657Markus? 40657 Markus?
40657Markus?
40657May I go home?
40657May I not speak to them?
40657May I stay with you, Markus?
40657May I?
40657May he not come indoors? 40657 May we go in?"
40657Men, even if this were so, would it be well that you should always be told it? 40657 More beautiful than Frieda or Olga?"
40657Mr. Ranji- Banji- Singh,said Countess Dolores,"have you made the acquaintance of Professor Johannes, of Holland?
40657Must I go with you? 40657 Must they always remain both deaf and blind to what is best and most beautiful?
40657Must you, for that reason, be low in station and be sorrowful?
40657My Brother,he asked,"who killed Pan?"
40657My dear Johannes, ought ugly things to be retained any longer than extreme need for them demands?
40657My own? 40657 My poor friends,"said Markus,"does it not alarm you that there are wrong- doings of which you are not conscious?
40657Never?
40657No, Marjon, you do not understand me; or do you not wish to understand?
40657No, not afraid,said Johannes, although the truth was that he was trying not to be;"but where are we going to bring up?
40657No?
40657Nothing else?
40657Now is not that a pretty sight? 40657 Now, Johannes, what do you say to this?
40657Now, then, you silly fellow,sneered Pluizer,"how can you fancy yourself to be an elf?
40657Now? 40657 Now?"
40657Observed anything? 40657 Of whom are you speaking?"
40657Oh, Windekind,cried Johannes,"is this a story?"
40657Oh, Wistik, where are we?
40657Oh, Wistik, who is playing? 40657 Oh, Wistik,"he whispered, so moved he could scarcely speak,"are they really human beings, and not elves?
40657Oh, but Mama will give you money-- will you not, Mama? 40657 Ought not he to care as much for me as I do for him?"
40657Ought not the light to be put out?
40657Phrygia?
40657Pluizer,asked Johannes, suddenly,"do you know anything about the Great Light?"
40657Pluizer,he asked,"have these people always lived here-- so dreary and so wretched?
40657Prettily planned; do n''t you think so?
40657Really, do you think this beautiful, too? 40657 Really?"
40657Really?
40657Right away?
40657Shall I cry to God, or to Jesus? 40657 Shall I ever see him again?"
40657Shall I find it here with you?
40657Shall I never live with human beings any more?
40657Shall I see Robinetta again?
40657Shall I, too, find nothing else, Pluizer? 40657 Shall we not make a call upon the invalid?"
40657Shall we not start out again, Jo?
40657Shall we not take a little fly out over the ocean?
40657Shall we then treat one another as we may not our children? 40657 Shall we, then, hate the world, through which alone, in our alienation, the Father reveals to us his beauty?"
40657She? 40657 Shelley too, father?"
40657Should I have to tell him that daytimes it is light, and night- times it is dark? 40657 Should I trust the Devil, then?"
40657Surely you are not common tramps, are you?
40657Surely, you''ve been sharpening the coupon- scissors again, have n''t you?
40657Sympathize?
40657Tell me,she said kindly,"where did you come from, and where did you find that beautiful little song?"
40657The Book of Human Beings, perhaps?
40657The Father Markus speaks about?
40657The big priest has had you in hand, has he not?
40657The words, or the music?
40657Then are there not any wicked people?
40657Then can you steal from me, too?
40657Then did you not die with Father Pan?
40657Then have you no footboard?
40657Then he would surely say that, too, of a book of music?
40657Then is the Lord his Shepherd, too?
40657Then must I not follow after that which is the most beautiful of all I have found in this human world? 40657 Then shall I have to go hack again to Aunt Serà © na, and Daatje, and the dominie?"
40657Then suppose I make a mistake?
40657Then what are you snivelling for, if you do n''t understand?
40657Then what does that mean?
40657Then what have I to do?
40657Then what must I do?
40657Then what was lacking that you found elsewhere but not with them?
40657Then why are you stuttering so? 40657 Then why can you not go there again-- now?"
40657Then why have you not yet got it?
40657Then will you go there with me?
40657Then you are not afraid of me this time, Johannes?
40657Then you are not brothers?
40657Then you do not practise table- tilting, nor slate- writing, nor flower- showering?
40657Then you no longer love that other one more than me?
40657Then you think, children, that all sorrow suffered is one single sorrow? 40657 Then you will do nothing for me?"
40657Then you will not be too proud to cherish my little apple- tree, if I leave it for you to transplant into your own garden?
40657Then, if it is not a blessing to have good things, we ought to long for trials and privations?
40657They killed Socrates also, because he was wise, did they not, father? 40657 Think you, madman, that the wisdom of the Eternal can be comprised within the limits of written or printed pages?
40657This is the great and the eternal, is it not?
40657Tired?
40657To my father?
40657To- night?
40657Trommel,called Felbeck to a clerk who had kept on writing,"where does Vis hang out at present?"
40657Truly and with all your heart?
40657Twenty- five gulden, Sister? 40657 Very pretty, is it not?"
40657Violent?
40657Wait,said the doctor, giving him a sharp look,"are you the boy who assisted me some time ago, and then ran away?
40657Was he going away? 40657 Was it not truly extraordinary, General?"
40657Was that entirely your own composition, Professor Johannes?
40657We all know one another, do we not? 40657 We were to seek, were we not?
40657Well, Johannes,said she,"what have I done to earn this so suddenly?"
40657Well, but what of it?
40657Well, is not that enough?
40657Well, is this the gardener''s little boy?
40657Well, little friend, why do you sit here, crying?
40657Well, then, Johannes and Marjon are not the only ones with ears to hear, are they? 40657 Well, what did they find with their examination?"
40657Well, what have you observed?
40657Well, what is it?
40657Well, why not?
40657Well?
40657Well?
40657Were they too strict?
40657What Romish freak is this?
40657What are they? 40657 What are we going to do now?"
40657What are you doing here? 40657 What are you doing here?"
40657What are you doing, Jo?
40657What are you doing?
40657What are you going to do?
40657What are you here for?
40657What are you moping about there, Johannes?
40657What are you thinking about? 40657 What confounded business is this?"
40657What country is she from?
40657What did I tell you?
40657What did she do?
40657What did you really think of me yesterday, Mevrouw?
40657What did you suppose? 40657 What difference does it make?"
40657What do they want of me? 40657 What do you find in the sun?"
40657What do you mean, Johannes?
40657What do you mean? 40657 What do you mean?
40657What do you mean?
40657What do you mean?
40657What do you mean?
40657What do you mean?
40657What do you think of the way they have fixed me up, children?
40657What do you think?
40657What do you want?
40657What does he look like?
40657What does he really do?
40657What does that boy want?
40657What does that imply?
40657What does that mean? 40657 What does that mean?"
40657What does the boy mean?
40657What does the boy want? 40657 What does this mean, Johannes?
40657What else happened to him?
40657What fellow?
40657What foundry is that?
40657What had he done?
40657What has happened to him?
40657What have you done for the sheep committed to your care-- for the poor and bereaved-- for the oppressed and the disinherited? 40657 What have you to say about it?"
40657What is God, now?
40657What is going on there? 40657 What is harmony, Windekind?"
40657What is it that glitters on that high dome at the summit of the island? 40657 What is it, little friend-- my good mannikin?
40657What is it, my boy?
40657What is it, my dear Johannes?
40657What is outside there?
40657What is that immense creature?
40657What is that?
40657What is the price?
40657What is the reason for this military expedition?
40657What is this place, really?
40657What is your name?
40657What is your name?
40657What kind of being are you, really, Johannes? 40657 What kind of fire is that?"
40657What makes the leaves of the sycamore so spotted with black?
40657What makes you look so sad, Johannes? 40657 What makes you so white, Jo?"
40657What name, sir?
40657What shall I announce?
40657What shall I do, friend Hein? 40657 What shall I do?"
40657What stuff is this? 40657 What was our agreement, Jackanapes?"
40657What was that?
40657What wedding do you hail from?
40657What were you reading just now?
40657What with? 40657 What''s his name?"
40657What''s to become of that boat?
40657When I look at you, my brother, what is it makes me feel so sad?
40657When?
40657Where are you bound for?
40657Where are you going, elves?
40657Where are you going?
40657Where did you leave Keesje?
40657Where do you come from? 40657 Where do you live?"
40657Where do you want to go, Marjon?
40657Where is Robin Redbreast?
40657Where is any idler who has received his discharge? 40657 Where is he now?"
40657Where is it, Wistik? 40657 Where is the big rose?"
40657Where is the monkey? 40657 Where is the people''s King?
40657Where is your memory, Johannes? 40657 Where lies our land?
40657Where were you born?
40657Where, then, do you wish to look for him?
40657Where? 40657 Where?"
40657Where?
40657Whether you are cheated by a fool of a preacher, or by a scissors- grinder, what''s the difference?
40657Which one shall we choose?
40657Who are they?
40657Who are those five people, Windekind?
40657Who are you?
40657Who are you?
40657Who are you?
40657Who besides you?
40657Who can say? 40657 Who has beheld in this pair of wretched human beings the wisdom, beauty, love, and power which are the visible tokens of God''s elect?
40657Who is Markus?
40657Who is he raving at?
40657Who is he, really?
40657Who is he?
40657Who is it for?
40657Who is that little girl?
40657Who is that? 40657 Who is that?
40657Who is that?
40657Who is the little boy?
40657Who is the new papa?
40657Who is the one without whom you think you can not live?
40657Who is your comrade? 40657 Who knows what I may yet do,"said Van Lieverlee,"when the proletariat shall have learned to wash itself?"
40657Who of us does not long for forgiveness and blessedness? 40657 Who says''I shall''?
40657Who taught you that, my young friend?
40657Who tells him, Pluizer, where he is to go?
40657Who was it? 40657 Who will find that book, Wistik?"
40657Who? 40657 Who?"
40657Who?
40657Who?
40657Who?
40657Whom do you long for most?
40657Whom do you love best of all?
40657Whom have they come to see?
40657Why alone?
40657Why are you crying, Johannes? 40657 Why are you not sincere?"
40657Why did you come here again?
40657Why did you do that? 40657 Why do I first see Thee now?"
40657Why do n''t you come in here, Kiddie?
40657Why do they wilfully withdraw from nature?
40657Why do we not travel together, we three,asked Johannes,"just as we used to?
40657Why do we term permanent the creatures of one day? 40657 Why do you ask that?
40657Why do you go away, Johnny, and where are you going to live?
40657Why do you look at me so, Johannes? 40657 Why do you not answer now?"
40657Why do you vaunt your consecration, and prate of your Redeemer? 40657 Why does he speak of those things?
40657Why is it, then, that he lacks so much? 40657 Why is that not right?
40657Why not an explanation?
40657Why not, Mijnheer?
40657Why not? 40657 Why not?
40657Why not? 40657 Why not?"
40657Why not?
40657Why not?
40657Why not?
40657Why not?
40657Why should there not be for the Father what there is for us? 40657 Why so, young people?"
40657Why, then, has no one yet found it?
40657Why, then, will he not reply?
40657Why, then?
40657Why? 40657 Why?
40657Why?
40657Why?
40657Why?
40657Widow-- or divorced?
40657Will he come back?
40657Will he have to stay here?
40657Will he have to turn?
40657Will he not come now?
40657Will he soon be free?
40657Will not he who receives a letter from his distant love kiss the dry paper, and wet the black ink with his tears? 40657 Will you also say, dear lady,"said Johannes that afternoon, when with the children and their mother,"that I truly can not play upon any instrument?
40657Will you always stay with me, Marjon?
40657Will you be my friend?
40657Will you bring the patient Vis from the ward of the calm patients, working- class?
40657Will you help us?
40657Will you join us in truth, Markus?
40657Will you not play some more?
40657Will you not tell us now, Johannes, what you know of this person?
40657Will you openly preserve the penny of your enemy, and reject the noblest gift of the Most High? 40657 Will you rest them against me?"
40657Will you take care of it for us?
40657Will you take something?
40657Will you tell us something of the hereafter?
40657Will you, Daatje?
40657Will your kingdom, then, be more beautiful than theirs?
40657Windekind?
40657Wistik, what is this? 40657 Wistik?
40657With whom rests the decision of our fate?
40657Would she not grow uneasy? 40657 Would the Father, then, have made the mountains, seas, and flowers, gold and jewels, and have desired that we should despise and reject them all?
40657Would they understand me?
40657Would you care to hear it spoken, word for word? 40657 Would you like to go in?"
40657Would you like to know my name, Chappie? 40657 Would you not like to make acquaintance with me and my Museum?"
40657Would you not rather have a glass of wine, and some cake?
40657Would you put a tube to the lips of the Father, that He may speak at your pleasure? 40657 Would you really like that?"
40657Would you, a poet, have washed and combed proletarians, with collars and silk hats? 40657 Would you, like mischief- makers and frivolous bugle- blowers, dictate to your God, and show Him where to bestow His grace?
40657Wrong? 40657 Yes, Gerbrand,"said Hugo;"but indeed they also fought for good reasons, did they not, father?
40657Yes, but where is he who has Keesje?
40657Yes,replied Johannes;"did you know it?
40657You can not do so-- now; but why could you not come back again sometime?
40657You can see, can you not, that they are all in a hurry, and hunting for something? 40657 You did not think to find it so well lighted here,_ did_ you?"
40657You fancied I was very different, did you not, Johannes? 40657 You have been among human beings, have you not?
40657You mean the Bible, do you not, Mijnheer?
40657You mean when he is dead?... 40657 You must not ask,''Why is it done to me?''
40657You will not do it, will you? 40657 You will not let her do it again?
40657You will not? 40657 Your father, then?--Is he dead?"
40657Your father? 40657 Yourself?"
40657***** That whole day, and a good deal of the night, Johannes mused over this one query:"Why--_why_ is that poor girl so afraid?"
40657*****"What shall we do, Marjon?"
40657A little later, she asked:"Where are you going?
40657A nice, polite person like that, with such taking manners, and such a caressing voice?
40657A spinning tambourine, or a violin that plays of itself?
40657After he had eaten, he asked,"Is there a meeting to- night?
40657After six years of torture-- it was nothing else-- something happened... what usually happens in such cases.... Do you understand?"
40657Again Markus began:"My friends, how shall the poor, who compulsorily toil, and the rich, who compel them, comprehend the sacred message of the Father?
40657Again the hammer sounded:"Would any one like to add a few words?"
40657Ah, when shall I be able to rise up out of this lower life, and fly to her who beckons me so winsomely?
40657Already?"
40657Although we know that trials are better?"
40657Am I not yet worthy of that?
40657Am I such an ignoramus?
40657Am I too a human being?"
40657Am I too bad to deserve a true friend?"
40657An apostle?
40657An elf?
40657And Hugo:"Was it as fine as the Chromatic Fantasie, father, or the Pyramids?"
40657And Windekind?
40657And all his retainers whispered and tittered and chattered:"Dante?
40657And although it is not right to slay one''s lord, why should it be right to make him so rich that he becomes idle and lewd and wanton?
40657And because he''s given the priest a dressing- down, and broken an image worth a nickel, must he be shut up in a mad- house?
40657And could she not ride a horse, and spring through hoops, and with those slender hands throw plates up high, and catch and balance them?
40657And did the idea come to you then, that you might wake up soon, and all that happiness be lost?
40657And do you believe that one who has been led astray can plead,''I am not guilty, for I was deceived''?
40657And do you know about the little key, and the book?"
40657And do you not see at whom he is raving?
40657And have you noticed, Walter, what a splendid baritone voice he has?"
40657And how can we keep out of the way if a boat should come along?
40657And how could any one remain patient under such a continual din, and tagged after by the dirtiest and the worst- behaved children in the world?
40657And how did you find that kid?
40657And how is any one to suppose that such evidence exists either on paper or in some secret closet or other-- who knows where?
40657And if He makes you foolish?"
40657And is God less than man that He should do otherwise?
40657And now that I have found something fine, and exquisite, and noble, ought I not to follow it?
40657And that sick boy does need it?
40657And then may I come and bring it to you myself?"
40657And then, after a moment of hesitation, softly, but with emphasis,"It is... Markus.... Do you know whom I mean?"
40657And then, after some hesitation:"Can anything be done to get him out promptly?"
40657And then, looking to right and left at his neighbors:"D''ye hear anything?"
40657And then, slowly, with frequent pauses, she said:"Do you know why I can speak so?...
40657And then, when we do wrong because we know no better, we are punished, Is that fatherly?"
40657And there is a brother of yours here?
40657And there-- still another?"
40657And to whom must I pray?"
40657And turning toward Markus she asked:"Will you not come in and rest?"
40657And was he not, even now, in his warm, comforting presence?
40657And what did the dominie say?"
40657And what do you want of me?"
40657And what particular thing do you take yourself for?"
40657And what was the Father''s voice of which Markus had spoken, if not this inner joy?
40657And where are the factories, with their tall chimneys and dirty smoke?"
40657And where are the iron railways and their sooty stations?
40657And where was the rabbit?
40657And who is at fault if men go astray from nature, in pain and misery?
40657And who knows?...
40657And why are you still sitting up, with a light, till after midnight?"
40657And why do you say''sir''?
40657And why swarm in cramped quarters, high over one another, so long as there is dwelling- room amid the flowers and the verdure?
40657And why tracks of iron, when the broad ways of the air are open and free to all?
40657And will she be saved?"
40657And would you have decided otherwise had I not been what you term impertinent?"
40657And yet you have not murdered anybody, have you?"
40657And yet, was not this fair- haired being in blue, Windekind himself?
40657And you know also who that Shepherd is?"
40657And you were very much afraid of them, were you not?
40657And you with me?"
40657And, Johannes, will you not write out that little song for me?
40657And, alas, of what advantage is it to all those poor people who are perhaps preparing for this lovely life, but who yet are never to see it?"
40657Are all human beings like that?"
40657Are not the poorest ones they who drink wine and eat cake, and yet produce not even bread?
40657Are you an anarchist?"
40657Are you and Frieda and Olga any less beautiful, less lovely, less good?
40657Are you certain that none of you would have been so stupid as to be deceived by it?
40657Are you going to say, Aunt Serà © na, that I must not?"
40657Are you going with us, Markus?"
40657Are you lost?"
40657Are you not ashamed of yourself?"
40657Are you not fond of them?"
40657Are you not waiting for the little gold key?"
40657Are you perhaps the King?
40657Are you still so childish?
40657Are you waiting for Windekind?
40657As soon as they were outside by the rabbit, Johannes said:"Will you not tell us your history, Glow- worm?"
40657At last Johannes could keep silence no longer, and said to the governess:"Did anything bad happen in the night?"
40657At last Markus said:"What does Marjon say?"
40657At last Van Lieverlee rose to go, and the countess, clinging to his hand, with a certain warmth of manner said:"Of course you are coming to dinner?"
40657At last the man spoke, and said:"Who are you, and in whose name are you here?"
40657At last, after a long pause, she asked, in her gentle voice,"What do you mean?"
40657At last, he said softly:"Are you going to take me with you,_ now?_""What do you mean, my child?"
40657At last, he said softly:"Are you going to take me with you,_ now?_""What do you mean, my child?"
40657At this, the glow- worm asked disdainfully,"Can you give light?"
40657Because I can run better, ought you to let me carry you?
40657Because I''m a circus- girl, hey?"
40657Because there is not a black light, is there therefore no night?
40657Begin, then, by accompanying the countess to the church she has promised me to attend-- Have you, indeed, arranged to go?"
40657But Marjon said:"Did you fancy it was not?
40657But Marjon saw it, and asked excitedly:"What is that?"
40657But although your friend were right, how would it help me, and what would it matter to me?
40657But are you keeping it in mind?
40657But did you ever in the daytime see anything so distinct as this?"
40657But do you believe, now, that I am bad?
40657But ere he had a chance to speak about it, his hostess began thus:"Were you alarmed in the night, Johannes?
40657But had he not found his Brother again, and for the second time beheld him in a glorified form, clothed in shining raiment?
40657But have you not remarked that there is a justice from which you can not escape?
40657But how are we going to get down there?
40657But how did my clothes get here?
40657But it is not going to be, is it?
40657But now that you have come and I can cling to your hand, can I not redeem my faults?
40657But perhaps he has other friends, and cares more for them than for me?
40657But she laughed in a friendly way and said:"How d''do, youngster?"
40657But tell me now,--how did you know me?"
40657But what do you mean about the little key?
40657But what do you think his trouble is?"
40657But what does that avail us?
40657But what had he dreamed and what not?
40657But what have you in your hand?
40657But what master is it then of whom we have need?
40657But what of that?
40657But what put you in mind of that Jackanapes?"
40657But why do you not help me now?
40657But why was it not red, in the glow of that sunset?
40657But, Aunt Serà © na, if I am pious I shall go to heaven, too, shall I not?"
40657Ca n''t that perfesser see that Markus knows more in his little finger than the whole scurvy lot of them-- patients, doctors, perfessers, and all?
40657Ca n''t you do it, or do n''t you dare to, that you send me off to those murderers?"
40657Ca n''t you say something about the stars?
40657Can I be dreaming now?"
40657Can Johannes say, I am?"
40657Can human beings be so beautiful?
40657Can not what?"
40657Can she do anything to you?"
40657Can you love only because you have promised to?
40657Can you realize now, that Johannes had a great awe of him?
40657Can you run?
40657Can you take me there?"
40657Can you think who it was?"
40657Can you, wife?"
40657Corrupt my child?
40657Could I make a violin, and then play on it?"
40657Could Olga or Frieda be ill?
40657Could Pluizer be in the room?
40657Could not Johannes have run quickly to the pool, and told what he knew?
40657Could that be the Evil One?
40657Could you not help me?"
40657Dante?
40657Dante?"
40657Deer?"
40657Did I not once think the dunes the most beautiful of all, and fear I never should feel at home anywhere else?
40657Did I not say so?
40657Did I not write you my name?
40657Did he teach you all those things?
40657Did not that prove that he was in the right way?
40657Did she give you a kiss?"
40657Did the flowers teach you that?
40657Did they enlighten you?"
40657Did ye ever see such scoundrels?
40657Did you ask Robin Redbreast the way?"
40657Did you consider me such a dunce as not to have perceived that?"
40657Did you ever have a splendid dream of a magical garden where the flowers and animals all loved you and talked to you?
40657Did you ever, late at night, when you ought to have been in bed, read a very captivating book?
40657Did you fancy you could not think?
40657Did you hear anything?"
40657Did you indeed fancy it?"
40657Did you make your own selection?
40657Did you not know it?
40657Did you not see how they listened to me, and trusted, for an instant?
40657Did you not see that she stayed in the corner, and said not a word when they all laughed at you?
40657Did you think I could endure that?
40657Did you think I was sleeping?
40657Did you think it a fine one?"
40657Do I lie, or does Windekind?
40657Do my clothes dream, too?"
40657Do n''t you know him?
40657Do n''t you think so?
40657Do n''t you think so?"
40657Do you agree?
40657Do you believe, Windekind, that Simon is an ordinary cat?"
40657Do you call that childish ignorance?"
40657Do you fancy that any kind of god could take pleasure in anything on this earth-- such a medley as there is here to be ruled over?
40657Do you feel that?"
40657Do you hear?
40657Do you hear?
40657Do you hear?
40657Do you hear?
40657Do you know how to find it?"
40657Do you know this Shepherd?
40657Do you know what he says?
40657Do you know what_ that_ is?"
40657Do you know where I was?
40657Do you know whom I mean?
40657Do you know whom I mean?"
40657Do you know, little fellow, what you are chattering about?
40657Do you know?"
40657Do you know?"
40657Do you like animals better?"
40657Do you like birds?"
40657Do you love human beings more than you love me?"
40657Do you mean that I ought to do that, Johannes?"
40657Do you not know Jesus Christ?"
40657Do you not know how strong I am?"
40657Do you not know that I am Johannes?"
40657Do you not know whence you came?
40657Do you not like human beings?"
40657Do you not see that they carry my flower in their hands?
40657Do you not think it silly, Markus?"
40657Do you not think so, Dolores?"
40657Do you not think so, young man?"
40657Do you not think so?"
40657Do you not think so?"
40657Do you not wish to become wiser yourself?
40657Do you promise?"
40657Do you read the papers, young man?"
40657Do you remember when he used to visit us in the land of elves and flowers?
40657Do you remember, Johannes, when you sat down in the street beside the scissors''-wheel, and how I reproved you?
40657Do you remember?"
40657Do you see those two women there-- sitting in front of their door?
40657Do you see?
40657Do you still hope to?"
40657Do you think Doctor Cijfer in your place would look as you do?
40657Do you think no one else so good-- so clever?
40657Do you understand what a calling is, Johannes?
40657Do you understand?
40657Do you understand?
40657Do you understand?"
40657Do you understand?"
40657Do you want to be rid of me, Johannes?"
40657Do you wish me to?"
40657Do you wish to do that?"
40657Do you, Johannes?"
40657Does he find it dreadful?
40657Does he know you?
40657Does it make you dizzy?
40657Does it not seem to you that Johannes had advanced?
40657Does it seem strange that his little dark bedroom, with the diamond window- panes, held also a large place?
40657Does n''t he say, also, that it''s the same thing if you stand on your head or on your heels?"
40657For them, what can be higher?
40657For whom do you wear, In the morning bright, Those glistening tears of dew?
40657Gently, yet not without some bitterness, Marjon asked:"But, Markus, is he worthy of that?
40657Gerbrand, the younger son, knitting his brows as he regarded the awe- inspiring spectacle, asked:"How many people have worked upon it, father?"
40657Gravely, without any consolation in the look he gave him, Markus said:"Do you think, Johannes, that I shall tell you every time what you ought to do?
40657Had he been dreaming, and had he been walking with one or other of the Fair- goers?
40657Had he utterly lost his senses?
40657Had it been only a frightful vision?
40657Had it, then, all been a fraud?
40657Had not good Death told him it was well worth while to be a good man?
40657Had the supremely good Father ever permitted him to see more beautiful creatures?
40657Half in kindness, half in compassion, she said:"But, my boy, my boy, what has got into your head?"
40657Has Johannes forgotten me and my words?"
40657Has he never told you about his Mahatma?"
40657Has not the best already been said-- two thousand years ago?
40657Has something good happened?"
40657Has the light of the grace of God pointed hither?
40657Has there been an accident?"
40657Have you been pilfering?
40657Have you been under water?"
40657Have you come?
40657Have you ever known what it was to doubt, Johannes?"
40657Have you ever seen me before?"
40657Have you knowledge of your lasting faith?
40657Have you no parents, then, nor any one who cares for you?
40657Have you not shed tears over him?
40657Have you spoken with Ranji- Banji- Singh?"
40657Have you tried their champagne?--No?
40657Have you, then, no right to the pleasures of life?
40657He alone had named him that; should he call him now?
40657He asked, imploringly:"Father Pan, shall I find the book?"
40657He comes here often; and you also like it here, do you not?"
40657He could only say, thinking of Marjon,"Oh, how shall I describe all this?"
40657He intended not to; but what is his promise worth, without knowledge?
40657He said, however, as politely and modestly as possible:"But, Mevrouw, would I really be in place there?"
40657He was to teach you who Jesus is, was he not?
40657Her laugh was a confirmation; and accompanying her question with a shake of the head, she continued:"Really, do you not understand yet?"
40657Hey?
40657His hostess, now full of sympathy, said:"Do you remember, Johannes, what we promised Father Canisius?
40657How about them?
40657How can I be certain of the right way to live?
40657How can I make you look friendly when you come again?"
40657How can I?
40657How can it be done?"
40657How could that be?
40657How could you forsake me?
40657How could you sleep so soundly and not notice the little master get out of the boat?
40657How could you?"
40657How did I?
40657How did any one dare to say such words as if it were nothing?
40657How did you come by it?"
40657How did you manage it?"
40657How did you meet him?"
40657How do you know what the May- bugs think, what the thrushes sing, and how it looks in a rabbit- hole, or on the bottom of the water?"
40657How do you know?"
40657How goes it with you?"
40657How long have you known this friend-- and whom of the people have you known besides?
40657How many flowers bring forth fruit, and how many seeds grow to be trees?"
40657How otherwise could I have touched you?"
40657How was it possible-- how_ could_ it be possible, that he only now perceived this?
40657How was it?"
40657How will that do?"
40657How will you ever learn to run, yourself?"
40657How would he ever have enough strength left over to help the people?
40657How, then, could Johannes now accompany her to their daily work?
40657However, Marjon was not angry, but said gently:"Were you making verses?"
40657I alone exist, do you understand?
40657I am already eighteen, and are you not that also?"
40657I''ll see you again, presently, eh?"
40657I?
40657III Where is he, Presto?--Where is he?
40657If He lets you do wrong, and then leaves you to cry about it?
40657If a nursemaid lets an innocent child play with fire, and the child is burned, who is to blame?
40657If he were always to have his Leader with him, how could he forget?
40657If they do not belong in heaven, who does?"
40657Imperturbably, Markus proceeded:"My poor friends, did ever an artist create a grand masterpiece, and desire that no one should admire it?
40657In amazement, he asked:"What body is this I have on, Wistik?
40657In his uncertainty, Johannes looked round at Markus and asked:"What shall I do?"
40657Indeed, what is there you can not be?
40657Is Markus with you?"
40657Is he a friend of yours?"
40657Is he not flesh and blood?"
40657Is he not much uglier?
40657Is he related to her?"
40657Is it a girl?"
40657Is it a riddle?"
40657Is it far?
40657Is it fire?"
40657Is it here that Dante was?"
40657Is it my secret you have come for?"
40657Is it not sad to be guilty and not to know it?"
40657Is it not so, Birdie?"
40657Is it not so, Johannes?
40657Is it not so, Johannes?"
40657Is it not so, Markus?
40657Is it not so, Wistik?
40657Is it not so, Wistik?"
40657Is it not so?"
40657Is it not so?"
40657Is it not the way it should be?"
40657Is it not too bad?"
40657Is it not?
40657Is it not?
40657Is it really true?"
40657Is it truly so?
40657Is n''t that lovely, Markus?
40657Is n''t that so, Kees?"
40657Is n''t that so, Sjaak?"
40657Is not that a little form lying there?
40657Is not that lucky?
40657Is not that remarkable?
40657Is that it, Dominie?"
40657Is that it?
40657Is that my father-- my own father?
40657Is that not so, Freule?"
40657Is that so?"
40657Is that what you call it?"
40657Is that wicked?"
40657Is that you Vissie?
40657Is that your comrade?
40657Is there a bowl of coffee for me, too?
40657Is there anything good in plainness and sadness?"
40657Is there nothing at all?"
40657Is there one such?
40657Is there still time?"
40657Is what I have told you true?
40657Is_ she_ a foolish person?"
40657It had something to do with eating, he knew, but how was he to get to the linden hedge?
40657It is better so, is it not?
40657It is more beautiful than the dunes, is it not?"
40657It was a great satisfaction to Johannes when, at his request that he be allowed to go with her, she replied:"Certainly, dear boy; why not?"
40657It''s a_ casus perditus_, anyway, is n''t it?
40657Johannes also stood up, and said anxiously:"Markus, You are not going away?"
40657Johannes heard her ask:"How much did you get?"
40657Johannes looked at her, and asked, softly:"Do you mean your own father?"
40657Johannes peered into the round, black opening, and thought--"Could it be Wistik?"
40657Johannes pressed her hand, and asked passionately:"How do you know that?
40657Johannes rested his hand on her arm, and asked, imploringly:"You were not in earnest, were you?"
40657Johannes said to himself that it certainly must be his own imagining( for what could such a great man have to do with a little boy?)
40657Just now so glorious-- and already...?
40657Just then Marjon came up:"Why do you sit there bungling, Jo, and let me do all the work?
40657Laborers, have you not, I ask, practised patience long enough?
40657Let us see something wonderful?
40657Marjon whispered:"Who would have thought, Jo, that you cared so much for me?
40657Marjon would not go with him, that was certain; and ought he to desert her again?
40657Marjon, having listened, asked:"Markus, if he really saw the whole world as it is to be, why did he neither see nor hear anything of Markus himself?"
40657Markus continued:"Why do not_ you_ now reply?
40657Markus replied,"And Keesje, then?
40657Markus said:"Professor, will you not let me rest in peace?
40657Markus turned toward her and said with great earnestness:"Who are they who have their portion?
40657May I hear them?"
40657May n''t I give you a kiss, now?"
40657May we both go?"
40657May we go in?"
40657Maybe you think he has no wits, either?"
40657Mine, perchance?
40657Mine-- Johannes''?"
40657More practical, Marjon immediately asked,"What would it cost, Sister?"
40657Must I join with the hapless, hopeless throng And bind my sorrowful fate to theirs, Until the Great Leveler bring surcease?"
40657Must I, in my sixty- fourth year, give away all that I have, and go out house- cleaning?
40657Must the little key stay where it is, then?
40657Must they see and hear nothing of this?
40657Must you fill the hungry stomachs of your little ones with palaver about wisdom and charity?"
40657Must you, then, let what is high and noble be so misunderstood and defiled?"
40657Near the pond, is it not?
40657No?
40657Not a mirror, is it?
40657Not getting on very fast, are you?"
40657Nothing of your parents, nor of your youth?"
40657Now the future to it... and then we should be....""Where, Wistik?"
40657Now this Hein asks:''Are you looking for me?''
40657Now was not that good news for Johannes?
40657Now what if I have no other duds?"
40657On your mouth?"
40657One thought alone prevailed over all others; what would she say when he should have another talk with Countess Dolores, and what should he reply?
40657Or about the river, or the sun, or about the autumn?"
40657Or are you God himself?"
40657Or cross myself?"
40657Or do not you believe it yet?
40657Or do you not smoke yet?"
40657Or do you reject my offer of brotherhood?"
40657Or must he renounce all that beauty-- the most beautiful of all things he had found in the world?
40657Or who would continue to err after confession?
40657Ought any one then to contest our precedence?
40657Ought we not to admit that he was making good progress?
40657Ought you to have grieved your old aunt so?
40657Pluizer called out:"Does Death know about it, Johannes-- that you are already here?"
40657Possibly splendid results, do n''t you think?"
40657Quite certain?
40657Rather rare._"Is Van Lieverlee here, also?"
40657Ratsbane?"
40657Really, what has my grief to do with theirs?
40657See?
40657Sha n''t we?"
40657Shall I keep on living, and be a man-- a man like those who laughed at me?"
40657Shall I not die without her?
40657Shall I not see Windekind again?"
40657Shall I sometime-- sometime be able to get there?
40657Shall I take, and keep it?"
40657Shall I tell you the story of a young May- bug?"
40657Shall we disturb you?
40657Shall we ever be forgiven them?"
40657Shall we try to find him?"
40657Shall, then, a builder say that the house he has built defines the boundary outside of which he can not go?"
40657She loosened his chain, and said gently and affectionately:"Coming with me, Kees?
40657She stared with the fixed, glittering look of one in a fever, and said:"What do I say?
40657Should he give vent to what was boiling in his breast?
40657Should he go walk in the town park, or between the sunny polders?
40657Should he speak Windekind''s name?
40657Should he turn away so long as he could cling to it?
40657Singh?"
40657Snug and cozy, is it not?
40657So she is your hostess?
40657So soon?
40657So you, also, feel that we need to be converted?"
40657Suppose they gave the prize to the wrong fellow?"
40657Surely upon a more modest scale?
40657Tell me-- what is that?"
40657That I had horns and a tail?
40657That does not seem fair, does it, Aunt Serà © na?"
40657That half- luny fellow with the black curly- pate?
40657That surely was no illusion?"
40657The beautiful is of the Father, is it not?"
40657The doctor looked surprised and asked,"Wistik?"
40657The ignorant child, or the maid who knew that the child would burn itself?
40657The property of another?
40657The text was:"Who shall understand his errors?
40657Themselves, or the All- wise Designer, to whom they are as ignorant children?"
40657Then Aunt Serà © na, with a self- restrained but severe manner, asked:"What tree do you mean, Johannes?"
40657Then Johannes asked:"Do you believe what Wistik said?"
40657Then Johannes opened his eyes wide and said:"Is it really true?"
40657Then do you now believe in me alone?
40657Then he asked, although he well knew what the reply would be:"Are you, then, going to stay with me always?"
40657Then he asked,"Does not that bore you?"
40657Then he looked at his neighbors, right and left, and asked:"Have you been childish again, Sjaak?
40657Then he suddenly heard Marjon''s voice:"Has he hurt you?
40657Then he went to the head nurse and asked, softly and modestly:"When is the funeral to be, Sister?"
40657Then in a milder way, Marjon proceeded:"Do you know what Markus says, Jo?
40657Then said Johannes:"But, dear Markus, what has it availed, and what will be the good of it?
40657Then said Johannes:"So you, and Aunt Serà © na, and I, have a good time now, because we have no need of all that misery?
40657Then said Johannes:"What shall we do without him, Marjon?"
40657Then said Markus:"You will be faithful and remember me and my words, and act as if I were with you, will you not?"
40657Then softly,"Shall we ask to see him-- now?"
40657Then the Honorable Lady chimed in with:"Shall we not sing something?
40657Then the father said to his elder son,"Do you not know when Bismarck lived, and what he did, Hugo?"
40657Then the one about the material basis of ideas?"
40657Then why do n''t you laugh at the snobs?"
40657Then why does he not come?
40657Then will you give me a direct reply?"
40657Then, after a period of pipe- gurgling, Mijnheer van Lieverlee asked:"Are you there?"
40657Then, glancing toward the window, she added:"Who are those young scamps looking in?
40657Then, in a quiet, courteous tone, he said:"Will you not permit us, Mijnheer, to take your head measure?
40657Then, in assumed calmness, she asked:"Is there any news?"
40657Then, pointing with his finger:"Do you consider yourself the one to decide?"
40657Then, turning to husband and wife:"May they sing here a little?"
40657There is indeed no family, is there?
40657They are the richest, are they not?
40657To the house?
40657To which of them must we be converted?"
40657Very feeble, is it not?
40657Visitors still?
40657Was he dreaming?
40657Was he still longing?
40657Was he?"
40657Was it a cloud?
40657Was it a glacier?
40657Was it a mouse?
40657Was it not his dearest friend who was concerned; and had he not, like a coward, left him alone?
40657Was not that Windekind, beckoning him?
40657Was not that he, there, in the blue garment?
40657Was not that what He was teaching-- He at whose blessed side he should henceforth go?
40657Was not the world bestowed upon you by the Father as the noblest and most precious gift of the dearest of friends?
40657Was not this the soft little body against which he had rested that first, blissful, elf- land night?
40657Was that your vocation, my boy?"
40657Was the great enigma about to be solved now, and every trouble smoothed away?
40657Was there not there an undefined bit of nature, the same as on the dunes of his native land-- beside the sea?
40657We have been singing of money, and of those who had more money than sense; but have you more sense than money?
40657We should be men-- men, do you understand?
40657We''ll just see if you ca n''t have the use of this arm again, shall we not?
40657Weeping, he could only utter,"Why is it?
40657Well, then?"
40657Were not you?"
40657Were you not satisfied with what they taught you?
40657What am I now doing?"
40657What are you doing?"
40657What are you reading?"
40657What brought you here?"
40657What clothes are these?"
40657What could that mean?
40657What did all this mean?
40657What did that mean?
40657What did you receive this morning?
40657What do you mean, child?"
40657What do you put yourself across the channel for-- and without a light?"
40657What do you think of him?"
40657What do you think, Dearest?"
40657What do you want of him?"
40657What does it say?"
40657What does one do when he is a May- bug?''
40657What does that mean?
40657What does that signify?
40657What does the wind want?"
40657What had he to do it with?
40657What harm did he do?"
40657What has happened?
40657What have human beings to do with it?
40657What have you agreed to do?"
40657What have you been doing with yourself?
40657What have you to say about it, Markus?"
40657What is it you have that is better than either?"
40657What is the difference whether that is your father or not?
40657What is the matter?"
40657What is the thick book I have seen you reading in?
40657What is the use of being so wretched?
40657What is your name, my boy?"
40657What makes you think so?
40657What more do you want?
40657What more?
40657What must the doctor think of you?"
40657What sort of fellow was that, with the long hair, the silly old cap, and frayed- out trousers, who sat there, pottering?
40657What was he going to do?
40657What was it he felt in his tightly shut hand?
40657What was it that had befallen him?
40657What was it that took you from them?"
40657What was that?
40657What was that?
40657What would be the use of it?"
40657What would really be beyond?
40657What, then, am I now doing?"
40657What, then, shall be done that it be otherwise?''
40657What-- what is to be done with... with him?"
40657What_ are_ you to each other?"
40657When did he live, and what did he do?"
40657When the fairies danced, over mossy ways, In the still moonlight,''Neath the stars so bright, When yet the world was young?
40657When would the heavy foot come and crush him?
40657When, ah, when?"
40657Where are we, dear Wistik?"
40657Where are we?
40657Where did the boy get that notion?"
40657Where did you swim from?
40657Where have you been the whole long day?
40657Where is Robinetta?"
40657Where is he?"
40657Where is it?"
40657Where is that?"
40657Where is the monkey?"
40657Where is the people''s Queen-- his peer-- who supports and supplements him?
40657Where is your friend?"
40657Where now is thy beauty?
40657Where to?"
40657Where was Windekind?
40657Where was he?
40657Where was he?
40657Where was the little mouse which had warned him so faithfully that day at school?
40657Where, then, are the rose- bush and the little key?
40657Which of you is the girl in disguise?"
40657Who are you thinking about, this instant?"
40657Who are you?"
40657Who brings a light here?
40657Who called it?"
40657Who can prophesy without full knowledge?
40657Who can see just how and what people and things are?
40657Who did that?"
40657Who else could give him that feeling of rest and happiness?
40657Who is Markus?"
40657Who is Windekind?"
40657Who is Windekind?"
40657Who is doing that?
40657Who knows what he will do?
40657Who that is forgetful can be relied on?
40657Who then shall term that which the human intellect can grasp, the extreme limit?"
40657Who was it Johannes saw there?
40657Who was right-- Father Pan or Aunt Serà © na?
40657Who_ could_ like them?"
40657Why are you not thinking about it now?
40657Why can you not go again with me to all those places?
40657Why do you babble of a dead dust which would establish a limit to the life of the soul?
40657Why do you eat nothing?
40657Why do you not fear now?"
40657Why do you not go far away-- to the woods?"
40657Why do you not laugh at them, as well?"
40657Why do you not take part in all that life and gladness?
40657Why do you not tell me all?
40657Why do you stay here crying, instead of going to the dunes as you used to?
40657Why do you tell them these things?
40657Why does he not come?
40657Why does the wind blow through the trees, making them bend and sway?
40657Why gaze at me so mournfully?
40657Why have you had so little to do with me?
40657Why is he here?"
40657Why is it so?
40657Why look those eyes so earnestly?
40657Why look those eyes so mournfully?
40657Why must he leave them-- forego their love?
40657Why must the leaves fall, and the flowers die?
40657Why must the winter come?
40657Why not a bit more patient?
40657Why not?"
40657Why should not I respect it?
40657Why should you not be glad, since I am your friend?"
40657Why thus bedight, This morning bright With glistening tears of dew?
40657Why thus bedight, This morning bright With glistening tears of dew?
40657Why was that?
40657Why were human beings as they were?
40657Why were you never more kind to me then?"
40657Why, then, have I so much more given me than Daatje has?
40657Why, then, should it go to his heart as if he were flung aside and trampled upon, now that another was about to take the place of her husband?
40657Why?"
40657Why?--Why?
40657Will that do?"
40657Will the monkey come, too?"
40657Will ye believe me, Markus, and not despise''em for''t, nor turn yer back on''em for''t, Markus?"
40657Will you answer it?"
40657Will you answer me?
40657Will you believe me?"
40657Will you come soon?"
40657Will you go to church with me to- morrow?
40657Will you go, Jo?"
40657Will you have some coffee, too?"
40657Will you help me if I tell you?"
40657Will you not give us some further information concerning him?
40657Will you search for it with me?"
40657Wistarik?...
40657Wistik, are those the butterfly- spirits?
40657With a sullen look the woman turned away, and Johannes asked in a whisper:"Are these doctors more clever than Markus?"
40657With whom do you think he has taken his walks, during the past two years-- while you were away?
40657Wo n''t you have something to eat?
40657Would Frieda and Olga belong to it also?
40657Would Markus come now?
40657Would he be afraid of this dark friend at the bedside?
40657Would he not, Van Lieverlee?"
40657Would it not make of you conceited fools?
40657Would not the reality revenge itself frightfully upon yourselves, and upon those fawners and flatterers?
40657Would not your friend be able to compose music for this?
40657Would she stroke his hair, or even press a kiss upon it, as once she had done-- the same as with her two little daughters?
40657Would that be enough?"
40657Would they show him the way?
40657Would you be a priest of the Most High?
40657Would you frighten me with that dunce?
40657Would you like a magnifying glass?"
40657Would you like that, Johannes?"
40657Would you like these?"
40657Would you like to be such a man?
40657Would you like to go to him?"
40657Would you not like to be able again to draw on your own blouse, to cut your meat, and to fill your pipe?
40657Would you not like to have a chat with him?"
40657Would you perform an operation with unclean knives?
40657Would you take part in the labor agitation?
40657XII"Shall we go to the beach this morning?"
40657Yes?
40657Yet even here-- upon this earth-- we may learn to know and to admire; for why else were we placed in this world?
40657Yet he could not refrain from asking-- because he had been so much with Pluizer:"Why might not that be a cheat?"
40657Yet the professor took no notice of these ironical remarks, and proceeded:"Now just tell me, frankly, my friend, are you a prophet?
40657Yet where was his father?
40657You all listen to that eagerly, do you not?
40657You did n''t think we would be,_ did_ you?"
40657You do?
40657You have so many friends-- do you know some one who can help me?"
40657You have?
40657You knew then, did you not, that it was not good for you-- that you would be sorry for it?
40657You know that_ It_ is behind you, do you not?"
40657You know well, do you not, what it was?
40657You know, do you not, those characters in Johannes''life?"
40657You know, however, do you not, that the flock has need of a Shepherd?
40657You must act, you understand?
40657You see nothing now, do you, but lovely, laughing faces?
40657You see, do you not, Johannes, that you made a mistake?"
40657You think that very stupid, do you not?
40657You understand me, do you not?"
40657You want to stab that prig, do n''t you?
40657You''d have me believe you mean it?
40657Your name, indeed, was Johannes, was it not?"
40657_ I_ not exist?
40657a blue- white cloud?
40657asked Johannes,"the big one that used to stand here?"
40657but did you chaps hear that kicker?
40657but,''Why can not I overcome it?''
40657do you know him?"
40657do you still know me?..."
40657exclaimed Johannes, quivering with awe and suspense,"do you know me?
40657him?"
40657is''t remembrance of olden days, When the exquisite nightingale sung?
40657may I yet find there my Father''s spirit, That dwells beyond sun and sea and clouds?
40657murmured the countess; and turning to Johannes, she asked very seriously:"And have you really met with these elementals?"
40657said Death; and then, to Pluizer,"To whom are you going to take him?"
40657said Pluizer,"to take the people away from this?
40657said she, looking at him through her lorgnette,"Have you a visitor?
40657said the second one condescendingly, observing that it was a novice:''Do you want to inquire the way?''
40657w hat are you talking about?
40657what commands he?
40657where is it?
40657where spreads our roof?
40657why not?"
