21740	Ah, that was the time that my own dear mother received such a shock, I suppose?

21740	And how are you sure of knowing him, if, as you say, you have never seen him?
21740	And it ai n''t an accident, is it?
21740	And what was my son doing when you passed him at that frightful speed-- you could_ see_ him, I suppose?
21740	And what was the result?

21740	Deary me-- what''s wrong?
21740	Did n''t I say it could cut through the poker, mother?
21740	Did n''t you though?
21740	Did you wish to speak with me about anything in particular, Mr Tipps?
21740	Do expresses often pass your cottage in that way?
21740	Do n''t you think,said Tipps, in an apologetic tone,"that leading a Christian life is rather the result of having become a Christian?
21740	Do you always take your dinner in that uncomfortable way?
21740	Do you mean to say that you are really short of that sum, and in debt?
21740	Does it not disturb you at night?

21740	Father is safe, thank God,replied Loo, with a choking voice,"and Gertie also, but mother--""She is not dead?"
21740	Father,said Leo, over whose face a deep crimson flush had spread,"_ surely_ you do n''t for a moment believe it?"
21740	Has Garvie, then, been aware all this time that Davis is one of the thieves, and kept it secret?
21740	Here, write down the address on that piece of paper-- you can write, I suppose?
21740	How do you know that?
21740	How does it stand? 21740 How long are you here at a time?"
21740	How many did you say?
21740	How should I know?
21740	How? 21740 I have called,"began Tipps, bowing to Emma and shaking the captain''s hand,"to introduce my-- my-- eh!--ah, my-- what''s the matter?"
21740	I hope I see you quite well?
21740	I hope Mrs Marrot is not hurt?
21740	I say, Netta, what about this fifty pounds that mother was talking of?
21740	I''m quite sure he will be delighted to do that,said Loo;"wo n''t he, Will?"
21740	Indeed, who d''ye think it is?
21740	Is it?
21740	Is n''t Loo enough for you?
21740	Is n''t it a fact, daddy?
21740	Is sixty miles an hour_ very_ much faster than the rate of ordinary trains?
21740	Is that the usual rate of travelling on your railway?
21740	Is that train going up to the station just now, Jim?
21740	Is that your bundle, sir?
21740	Is there_ no_ chance of savin''it?
21740	Is your missus at''ome?
21740	It''s all over?
21740	Joe,he whispered, as the guard came up to lock the door,"just keep an eye on these three fellows, will you?
21740	May I come in, Sam?
21740	My darling,said Mrs Tipps,"how_ can_ you charge me with having made an error somewhere?
21740	My good woman,said the lawyer with a perplexed look,"what is your objection to Miss Tipps?"
21740	No: but_ is_ it, Bill?
21740	No; why not?
21740	Nor Willum ai n''t maimed, is he? 21740 Not for the little poodle dog, ma''am, that you carry under your shawl?"
21740	Not hurt, I trust?
21740	Nothing wrong?
21740	Now, what was the result? 21740 Now, you wo n''t refuse me this favour, dear nurse?
21740	Nurse,she said, hurriedly,"when did you say you proposed paying your brother in London a visit-- about this time, was it not?"
21740	Objection? 21740 One of the directors,--don''t you know?"
21740	Pray, what sort of ring is it? 21740 So,"said the latter at length, in a very stern voice,"_ this_ is your friend, Mr Tipps?"
21740	Sure? 21740 Sure?"
21740	Surely that name is familiar? 21740 Surely you must be very tired?"
21740	Tell me, darling,said Garvie, in an anxious tone,"is father safe, and mother, and Gertie?"
21740	Then Garvie does not suspect him of being connected with the robberies?
21740	Then what have you to say to me?
21740	To the great Clatterby Works, where the big hammer is?
21740	Under physic, then?
21740	W''ere? 21740 W''y, what_ do_ you make of''em all?"
21740	Was any one else hurt, father?
21740	Well, Blunt,said Mr Superintendent Sharp, coming up at that moment,"what has brought you here?"
21740	Well, I s''pose the big''ammer that Bob says is as''eavy as five carts of coals must be''ereabouts?
21740	Well, Jack,he said, going up to his friend''s couch and taking his hand,"how d''you feel now-- better?"
21740	Well, and ai n''t you good?
21740	Well, anything more about these Gorton robberies?
21740	Well, my good man, what do you wish me to do for you? 21740 What are you thinking of, darling?"
21740	What do I find-- eh? 21740 What if they get into a carriage that''s already nearly full?"
21740	What is it, Edwin?
21740	What is it?
21740	What is''e doin''?
21740	What of Bob''s appointment?
21740	What''s that?
21740	What''s to be done with it, then?
21740	What_ is_ that?
21740	Where are you travelling to?
21740	Where do you intend to take me?
21740	Where ever do they all go to?
21740	Where''s my wife?
21740	Which class, sir?
21740	Who have we here?
21740	Why do you take me to Langrye instead of back to town?
21740	Why so, Sam, you ai n''t used to mind night dooty?
21740	Why then,you will say,"attempt description?"
21740	Why, how will the sending of a new porter to the station throw light on the matter?
21740	Why, mother,exclaimed Bob,"you did n''t surely expect to see two large holes in it for a giant''s thumb and fingers, did you?"
21740	With people in the carriages?
21740	Wot''s the matter_ now_?
21740	Would it not be a good plan to send them a cheque anonymously?
21740	Yes, I do; wo n''t it be delightful?
21740	Yes; I wished to ask you if that fat woman, Mrs---, what''s her name?
21740	Yes; do you wish to see her?
21740	You do n''t mean_ that_?
21740	You do n''t say so?
21740	You look rather pale this morning, Bill?
21740	You mean Mrs Podge, I suppose?
21740	You saw that tall good- lookin''feller wi''the eyeglass and light whiskers?
21740	You seem to be very busy to- night Mrs Davishe observed, inquiringly;"can I assist you?"
21740	You''d better get up at once, then,said Mr Sharp, descending quickly--"what have you got there, my good man?"
21740	You''ve been treating yourself to a new pair of shoes, I see, Jones, what have you done with the old ones?
21740	You''ve heard, I suppose, of the mad fellow who caused such a confusion among Miss Tipps''s Sunday- school children last night?
21740	` Remember what place?'' 21740 ` You''ll be sure to remember the place?''
21740	''s that you?"
21740	After all, what better could we have done?
21740	And the Missis and Gertie?
21740	And what of myself?
21740	And, by the way, was n''t there something about a case of stealing muffs and boas lately?"
21740	And, pray, why am I so indifferent?
21740	Any more physic, I wonder?
21740	Are there not circumstances also in which poverty is unavoidable and the relief of it honourable as well as delightful?
21740	At the same time her husband demanded sternly,"Who said that?"
21740	Besides, have I not had three months of an easy mind, and of utter regardlessness as to my life and limbs?
21740	Bob, before Will could finish his sentence, broke in with--"Now,_ ai n''t_ that a su''cumstance?
21740	But how does the case actually stand?"
21740	But how was this to be accomplished?
21740	But what good fortune has sent_ you_ here this evenin'', Gertie?"
21740	But what have you been discussing?
21740	But what of timid Mrs Tipps?
21740	But what was he to turn to?
21740	But what''s Mr Sharp bin inquiring arter?"
21740	But, I say, Gertie, is young Dorkin to be there?"
21740	By the way,"he added, turning suddenly to Loo,"you delivered that note from young Mr Tipps to his mother?"
21740	Can we feel surprised that he was both astonished and perplexed?
21740	Can you stay to supper with us?
21740	Cut off your steam, will you?"
21740	Davy Blunt, somethin''up?"
21740	Did you require medical attendance?"
21740	Did you speak to him?"
21740	Did your husband never give you the slightest hint about a set of diamonds that he had once lost?"
21740	Do you doubt it, reader?
21740	Does she persist in her ridiculous claim for damages?"
21740	Gertie-- what brings_ you_ here?"
21740	Got your ticket?"
21740	Half- a- guinea-- no head for charities in your estimate, I suppose?"
21740	Hark?
21740	Have I not got it all down here on black and white, as your dear father used to say?
21740	Have you found out anything in regard to it?"
21740	Have you sent for a fly?"
21740	He ai n''t dead?
21740	He felt that it was a last look, because, how could he hope in a populous city to meet with her again?
21740	He laid him gently down again, and was about to hasten away for assistance when the man groaned and said faintly,"Is that you, Jack?"
21740	His only remark, however, was--"Good- evening; I suppose you start for the station in a few minutes?"
21740	How can a round thing saw?
21740	How can you expect to travel at the rate you do, and yet be as safe as if you were in one of the old mail- coaches?"
21740	How could any man lay''old of it to saw?"
21740	How_ can_ you expect me to keep things tidy if you go on so?"
21740	I know it is an unpleasant business, but what else can be done?
21740	If I am crushed to death in a railway accident, or get entangled in machinery and am torn to atoms-- still I say, what matter?
21740	If I break my neck in the Gap of Dunloe-- what matter?
21740	If I get drowned in Loch Katrine-- what matter?
21740	If I get lost and frozen on the steeps of Ben Nevis or Goatfell-- what matter?
21740	If ill- advised or angry navvies were to refuse to work, what could directors and engineers do?
21740	If you''d said you had no stomach for it I could have understood you; but-- well-- what_ did_ you put it under; sundries, eh?"
21740	If, on the other hand, ill- advised or angry directors and engineers refused to pay, what could navvies do?
21740	Is Jack safe?
21740	Is not all that cheaply purchased at 30 shillings?
21740	Is that logic?"
21740	Is this fair?
21740	Is your husband within?"
21740	It ai n''t thieves and robbers, is it?"
21740	Miss Netta teach my Gertie?"
21740	Moreover, young man, if it''s not yours, why did you bring it into the carriage with you?"
21740	Need we say more to account for the perpetual state of earthquakedom, in which that house was involved?
21740	Now, I have made up my mind to help them whether they will or no, and the question I wish to lay before you is,--how is the thing to be done?
21740	Now, was n''t that clever?"
21740	Poor Tipps could not speak-- he could only gasp the word,"Where?"
21740	Seems to me as if there was something in that, sir?"
21740	Should not this, I ask, infuse a little of the milk of human kindness into the public heart in reference to railways?
21740	Stay, Jenkins, was n''t he in the accident at Langrye station?"
21740	Tell me, now, is there nothing that we could sell?"
21740	The additions checked, eh?"
21740	The war- horse good is the trooper''s theme-- But what are all these to the horse of steam?
21740	The youth turned round indignantly, and, with a flushed countenance, said,"What do you mean?"
21740	There was a momentary deep silence, as if every one had received a shock; then Mrs Marrot exclaimed"What say''ee, boy?"
21740	There''s a clean frock just put on this mornin''only fit for the wash- tub now?"
21740	They have n''t got him yet, I believe?"
21740	They never suspected you, I suppose?"
21740	This having been done, her curiosity got the better of her shame at having been"caught,"and she asked--"How did you know I had a dog with me, guard?"
21740	True, but who is to take home the shame?
21740	We"remember"waiters after having eaten a good dinner, but who, in any sense of the word,"remembers"the cook?
21740	Well, what do I do?
21740	Well, what news have you to- night?
21740	Well, what then?
21740	What are the facts now?
21740	What d''you want done?
21740	What do you mean?"
21740	What makes you so sure that Bill Jones is the thief?"
21740	What was the old woman doin''wi''such a ring tied up in such a queer way?"
21740	What would you have?
21740	What_ was_ he to do?
21740	When the case was made known to John, he at once said,"Why did n''t they apply to the Clearin''House, I wonder?"
21740	Where am I?
21740	Where?"
21740	Why, look here-- this is your child?"
21740	Why, mother, what''s the use of boring your brains with such things?
21740	Will any one out of Bedlam have the audacity to say that in coaching days only half a passenger was killed each year?
21740	Will you promise me to be still?"
21740	Would_ you_ like to travel on the railway, Gertie?"
21740	You''ll go mother, wo n''t you?"
21740	You''ll look after her, Joe?"
21740	You''re not maimed, master?"
21740	You''ve heard the noos, I fancy?"
21740	a b- b- blue one, wi- wi--""With,"interrupted the man,"black outside and noo straps?"
21740	can it do anything else?"
21740	come here; what have you to say for yourself?"
21740	echoed Mrs Marrot;"how many''s that in the year, Bob?"
21740	exclaimed Edwin,"is not leading a Christian life becoming a Christian?"
21740	exclaimed Sharp, in some surprise;"and what of Sam Natly and Garvie?"
21740	exclaimed the lady, blushing;"what do you mean?
21740	he exclaimed with a wild laugh,"have I found you at last, mine enemy?"
21740	interrupted Bob in great excitement;"you do n''t mean that, Loo?"
21740	lift away this beam, will you?"
21740	master, it ai n''t you, is it?
21740	no head for physic?
21740	nurse,"he exclaimed, getting in and sitting down opposite to her;"why, surely it was n''t you, was it, that had such a narrow escape?"
21740	repeated Mrs Marrot;"w''y, what would be the use of a hammer as no one could lift?"
21740	replied Bob;"''ow should I know?
21740	retorted Bob;"you do n''t suppose that the d''rectors is all my partikler friends, do you?
21740	said Netta, with a puzzled smile;"and pray, what is the Flyin''Dutchman?"
21740	sir, is it?"
21740	to give Molly a drink?"
21740	was it the same friend who advised you to claim compensation?"
21740	what''s all this?
21740	you ai n''t goin''to get married already, are you?"
