42299--If worth lay in a flatt''ring tongue, You would not want a service long; For if you do with caution use it, Where is the ear that will refuse it?

47400An''how can I help it, Judy?
47400Any luggage, sir?
47400Arrah, Pat, why did yez bring me here into this dark hole now? 47400 At what hour did Mr. Heartwell quit this office?"
47400At what hour, madam?
47400At what hour?
47400At whose suit?
47400But are you not soon to leave me, Frank?
47400But do they serve the officers so?
47400But if this destruction of tea is to go on, what are_ we_ to do? 47400 But in Ormond Street,"urged the magistrate,"there you possibly had better light and more time-- what took place there?"
47400But why are you dressed thus?
47400But( we asked in continuation of our conversation) how could you talk with Buonaparte-- did he speak English?
47400By whose authority?
47400Can these be clocks?
47400Can you bear an introduction to one who is able to explain every particular?
47400Can you grope your way? 47400 Cease, my friends,"continued Polverel;"know ye not that deputies have arrived from San Domingo to sit in the great council of the nation?
47400Cork is it? 47400 D''ye think, sir, that the gods above Shave themselves with razors?"
47400Danger, sir?
47400Did Mr. Heartwell take his timepiece with him?
47400Did n''t you heear me call vater afore?
47400Did you ever hear of such a_ dreadful_ creature?
47400Did you see any more of him, sir?
47400Did you see wot a imperent grin the little beast give?
47400Do n''t be foolish, Mary,said my host, scarcely less frightened;"what should it be but the old sign?
47400Do they call them Jem Pansies? 47400 Do you intend to open the window?"
47400Donder und blitzen-- what wo n''t do?
47400Donder und vind-- where are the crew?
47400Euphemius Hipson, my dear, you can assist me to another lump of sugar?
47400Fools!--do you believe in such nonsense as ghosts and spectres?
47400Has anything occurred?
47400Hauled his wind out of this?
47400Have I been dreaming? 47400 Have I the honour to address his worthy lady?"
47400Have a slice o''cold pudden, Bill?
47400Have n''t I been a faithful and thrue wife to yez? 47400 Have not the wretches denounced me, because of the money they owed me, and their base designs upon my child?
47400Have you seen my tiger?
47400Have you seen the tiger? 47400 Have you seen the tiger?"
47400How-- what is this?
47400I have put a plain and simple question to you, sir; will you oblige me with an answer?
47400I knew I was right,said he:"Brady, do you know me now?"
47400I suppose, sir, we had better_ get the man together_?
47400I''ll have a bit of fish, waiter,--which do you recommend to day?
47400I''m bless''d, young gentleman, but you do shake a cloth or two in the wind-- but there, what''s the odds so as you''re happy? 47400 In the event of your leaving, would the gentleman you have named feel disposed to part with it, think you?"
47400In the name of wonder,said he,"what''s the matter?"
47400In vain,she cried,"your powers, Take any shape you may; Are hearts less wise than flowers, That know the night from day?"
47400Is it a fairy,said the Jewess,"or a household demon?
47400Is there any strange watch or clock in the house that you know of?
47400Is your tea agreeable, my dear Miss Dibsley?
47400It must be some trick,said Mrs. Heartwell;"can you hear it distinctly?"
47400Keep her right before it, my man; how''s her head now?
47400Lately, why have n''t you heard? 47400 Mr. Heartwell has been heard of; but are you really able to endure whatever of joy or sorrow may betide--""Joy?--joy?"
47400My dear fellow, I''m going out-- a particular engagement-- been kept in all the morning;--will Friday do? 47400 My dearest madam,_ you_ eat a sausage?"
47400Now, Tim, who_ is_ that? 47400 Now, then, young imp, wot''s the damage?"
47400Of course I must,replied the gentleman;"I can not expect you to trust me; what can I do?
47400Of whom are you speaking?
47400Of_ what_?
47400Oh, what is this, Frank?
47400Pray, Mr. Shipkins, do you remember the number of the coach in which Mr. Heartwell left here last night?
47400Pray,said the magistrate, addressing the coachman,"had you sufficient light or opportunity to observe the person of the officer?"
47400Shall we take possession of the land, in the name of his most Christian Majesty?
47400Shipkins has been taken,said Mr. Wendover,"and he has confessed--?"
47400Should you know the gentleman again?
47400So when master said,''Well, Jacky, will you have any more pudding?'' 47400 So you''ve heard tell of that, have you?"
47400That young gemman''s in a very good humour, ai n''t he, Tom? 47400 These, sir?"
47400Vant a cab, sir?
47400Vhere''s shall I drive, sir?
47400Was Mr. Heartwell here yesterday?
47400Was it all a delusion?
47400Was the officer sober?
47400Wel sie valtz, Fraulein?
47400Were you not at all acquainted with the object to which your husband alluded?
47400What cheer, what cheer, my lad, eh?
47400What do you?
47400What does she go?
47400What has I getten to sup t''''morn, Tam?
47400What has she_ done_?
47400What is all this?
47400What is all this?--who do you want?
47400What is it then?
47400What is''t,says he,"your majesty Would wish of me to- day?"
47400What shall it be-- my surtout coat? 47400 What sort of a man was he?"
47400What was that?
47400What write you, troubled spirit?
47400What''s that?
47400What, a real tiger, yer honour? 47400 What, what has he confessed?"
47400What-- what is it?
47400What?
47400What?
47400Where have you been, scoundrels?
47400Where is he, Ben, where is he?
47400Where''s my tiger?
47400Where''s this egg?
47400Who cares for mocking billows, Or demons of the deep? 47400 Who has dared to let him loose?
47400Who has let loose my tiger?
47400Who, and what are you?

47400Will you put that window down, Sir?
47400Will you, Sir, or will you not put down that window?
47400Wine with me, sir?
47400Yes, sir-- we have the same bin now-- the port you mean, sir?
47400You are, I presume, in Mr. Brady''s service?
47400You wish to speak to me, sir?
47400You''ll take a glass of ale or so? 47400 Your H- opposition coach and a pair of horses?"
47400''All right?''
47400''Ay,''says Tom and the others,''now you''ll believe it, von''t you?''
47400''Did n''t you?''
47400''Done vot?''
47400''Lost, how?''
47400''No,''says, he;''shall I say you''re a coming into Bristol?''

47400''Vhy not?''
47400''Vot old chap?''
47400''Well, Quashie,''I said,''you have got here I see, but which of you won?''
47400''and, Mr. Banks,''says I,''what shall I order for your supper?''"
47400( I had light-- very light hair)"vot are yer a looking at now?--a com- paring that ugly phiz o''yourn with a gen''leman''s?"
47400("What, all?"
47400***** P.S.--May we ask who threw That shell in the_ Horse Guards_, With one in the barrack- yards To blow up the_ Gallery_ too?
47400--"Hadn''t I better read it for myself?"
47400--"They were gained,"he would say,"under Nelson, fighting for my king and country-- and what''s the odds so as you''re happy?"
47400--"What danger can there be when there''s hardly wind enough to fill the canvas?"
47400--"Why not, man?"
47400--''But will he pay?''
474001 ready?
47400A thing more gentle, laughing, light, More blythe, more full of play, Than e''er_ he_ was-- that luckless wight!-- The lamb you stuck to- day?
47400Again, mark you his freckles-- whoever saw such in the face of beauty?
47400Am I to read?
47400And Sarah faintly answers,"Yes, did you hear that?"
47400And for the_ life_ of the scene?
47400And thou, O Dog, with deep- set eyes, Wert thou, like Love, once blind; With helpless limbs, of pigmy size, And voice that scarcely whined?
47400And what is friendship but a name, That boils on Etna''s breast of flame?
47400And what''s become of him, my boy?"
47400And when did he first see your phiz Reflected in his own?
47400And when your guns are run out, why what''s the use on''em if you do n''t clap a match to the touch- holes and pour in a reg''lar broadside?"
47400And where could he have found a more fitting place?
47400Are you determined to destroy yourself, or are you aware of your danger?"
47400Art thou descended from the pair From whom the Cæsars came?
47400Asaph?"
47400At last one little quaking Miss ventures half- stifled to whisper,"Sarah, are you awake?"
47400Ay, who, sir, who?
47400Be em a live un or a stuffed un?"
47400Berry well-- me bet you fippenny me make you go-- No?
47400Besides, do not you invite ladies in particular to patronise your omnibus, and promise to accommodate them?
47400Bond?''
47400But are you sure it''s the same?
47400But gracious goodness, what''s the time?
47400But how comes it that my simple little cat( Dummy by name) called up, the other evening, by a very ordinary movement, the image of Cleopatra?
47400But how far does it go?
47400But how was poor Spitz to know what the season was, or tell what his master himself had forgotten?
47400But is n''t this a good deal like cutting his own nose off?"
47400But may not patent- ice pavements be laid down in our popular thoroughfares?
47400But there, what''s the odds so as you''re happy?"
47400But what are we about?
47400But what avails, if fleeting praise Alone the poet''s labour pays?
47400But what is a dun?
47400But what poet ever found a steep so difficult as that_ gradus ad Parnassum_ to the seemingly dislocated donkey?
47400But what''s the odds, my lady, so as you''re happy?"
47400But where was the daughter?
47400But will the advantages end here?
47400Butcher''s cur, is''t true That_ thy_ first parents e''er From Eden''s garden lapp''d the dew, And breathed in rapture there?
47400Butcher- boy, Thou com''st of Adam''s race?
47400By twelve o''clock in the day there was a vast accumulation; and at that hour, the master of the house would say,"James, are all the doors shut?"
47400Can they well be otherwise, when they worship a deity so remorseless and so unfeeling?
47400Can we assume that, in the nature of a mountebank balancing on his chin a ladder surmounted by a long- eared brute, there is no room for vanity?
47400Cavil?"
47400Cold and wet, is n''t it?"
47400Come, roundly, your reason, sir?
47400Commonplace and even plebeian, as is the simple question"Who are you?"
47400Could I think of treading in the boots of a blackleg, albeit they never were his own?
47400Could ever flower with thee compare?
47400Could his eyes have ceased to possess discriminating power?
47400Death?
47400Did I not foretel the death of Louis?
47400Did I not predict the downfal of monarchy in France?
47400Did I not say the king of Sweden was given over to destruction?
47400Did n''t I lock you up for thieving-- didn''t I?"
47400Do you happ''n to know a cove in London by the name o''Ketch-- Jack Ketch?"
47400Do you mutiny?"
47400Do you suppose that a gentleman would come here_ without_ such an_ indispensable_ article of dress?"
47400Do you think other people is as vicked as yerself?"
47400Does Jack heave one sigh in compliment to the illustrious absentees, and in depreciation of the company who_ have_ assembled?
47400Does he mean to say he has ever met with any one of these lines_ before?_][ Footnote 3: Burke.]
47400Euphemius, my dear, will you read?--Martha, you can take away.--Beg pardon, any more tea, Miss Dibsley?
47400Haste then and flee from the wrath to come, for have I not prophesied, and it hath come to pass?--Have I not foretold, and the fulfilment is at hand?
47400Have I not declared that England would be deserted by her allies?
47400Have you ever been to sea?"
47400Have you seen my Ben-- g- g- gal?"
47400He turned to Peach and demanded--"Who and what are you?--how came you here?--who has dared to let you in?--speak-- who are you?"
47400He turns round!--where is the smile of exultation?
47400How canst thou look thus calmly on, And watch them slowly die the while?
47400How grew your legs so like to_ his_, Your growl so like his tone?
47400How is it?"
47400How often do we every day jump from one point to another, as distinct in themselves as the sublime and the ridiculous, and far more widely asunder?
47400How then could a vessel in this forlorn condition continue afloat or contend with so fierce a gale?
47400How?
47400Howsomever I hope I arnt frightened you; but what''s the odds so as you''re happy?"
47400Howsomever, up I gets, and, says I to my box- companion, you wo n''t mind if I goes a little fast, will you?
47400Hurrah!--what''s the odds?"
47400I carn''t conthrol the say or the ship as I would a horse upon the turf-- long life to it-- what would you have?"
47400I guessed his meaning by this time; but affecting ignorance, I asked,"What is that wonderful animal without any inside?"
47400I locked him up last night for robbing the larder, and this morning he is missing; where is he?"
47400I s''pose his mother know_ he''s_ out?
47400I''spose the old man an''her do n''t agree no better?
47400If I recollect right, you had some good wine here once?"
47400If I should demand my Hessians, was there a probability of obtaining them?
47400If talents rare no more can claim Than idle transitory fame?
47400If, when the mind is worn away, Pale misery waits on dim decay?
47400In visions of a future day, I see thy long- lost form appear; And, o''er the counter, whispering, say--"Pray can you make it cheaper,_ dear_?"
47400Is it not so, men?"
47400Is it then asked, why this individual should excite at once in my boyish bosom such lively feelings of horror-- such forebodings of evil?
47400Is the room actually filled with clocks, or am I the victim of enchantment?"
47400It may be said"What''s in a hat?"
47400It was a Squire, a gentle squire, Came spurring darkly down below; His steed was splashed with foam and mire, Oh, what but love could urge him so?
47400It was the same man who responded to the"Why?"
47400Look''d Cheops much the same?
47400May it not, therefore, be looked upon as a wise and kind ordination of providence, to prepare the mind for disastrous events that are to follow?
47400Miffler,_ what do you do that for_?
47400Mr. Gunn consented, Mrs. Gunn consented, Sarah consented, and they all consented; could anything be fairer?
47400Márid?"
47400No Punch and Judy now; it''s unlegal by the law; ai n''t you awor o''the New Police Act what''s put it down?"
47400Now Mrs. Framp,_ what did you do that for_?
47400Now prayers and cards are all the go-- How''s that you ask?
47400Now we cry,"When_ will_ it leave off?"
47400Now, my excellent good Fred,_ what the deuce did you do that for_?
47400Now, reader, what song do you suppose this young gentleman, who scarce sings at all, will select?
47400Now, vot do you stand ringing o''the money for?
47400Now, what on earth_ do you do that for_, Brown?
47400One half sleep on our pillows, While t''others deck- watch keep; Who cares for lightning''s flashing, boys, Or noisy thunder''s roar?
47400Or shall I see you at the club?"
47400Pat, an why did yez bring me here?"
47400R. O. D. What more remains?
47400Rather an old- fashioned sort of thing, an enigma, eh?
47400Ses I,''Vhy do n''t you get down then?''
47400Shall we caulk the ship, or set up the rigging?
47400Shall we darn our stockings, or go on shore for fresh water?
47400Shall we mend the sails, or mend our clothes?
47400She sat and watch''d one summer''s eve-- Why doth she so?
47400So I ses, ses I,''Vot''s the row, sir?''
47400So at that I puts the werry top o''my eyes over the bed- clothes, and there I saw----""What?"
47400So you''d better answer it at once, Laura, declining it, you know-- eh?"
47400Springing forward therefore quickly, we exclaimed,"For heaven''s sake, madam, what are you about?
47400Stephen''s Chapel_?
47400Still no egg came; the bell rang once more:"Where_ is_ the egg?"
47400That''ll do-- thank you-- charming!--These Chinese, I believe, have nothing of a navy?"
47400The Mighty Watcher had fallen asleep, but who could say that he never again was to wake up?
47400The bellows which yet bear the inscription,"Who rides on these bellows?
47400The officer took up the newspaper and read for ten minutes, then wondered why his egg did not arrive, and rang the bell.--"My egg?"
47400The one a feeble pup; A babe the other, fondly nursed-- How_ have_ ye been brought up?
47400The servant- maid looked aghast, yet the accustomed spirit of inquiry, Who was he?
47400The"any orders?"
47400Then Adam''s gold has much alloy!-- Was this_ his_ form and face?
47400There was a dun at the very entrance to their"shades below;"how could any place of torment be complete without one?
47400There''s nothin''very pleasant in rising blisters in the mouth-- is there, sir?"
47400Those who know Krähwinkel( and who, I should like to know, is not acquainted with that famous city?)
47400Tom, is that''ere elderly lady come, as ve vaited for last trip?

47400Upon meeting, the following colloquy took place:--"Well, Tom, how goes it at the Placquet, eh?
47400Vell, old Tom Martin was the boots; he as come arterwards to our place, you know, Juggles?"
47400Vot has give you the blues?"
47400WHAT DO YOU DO THAT FOR?
47400Was I, therefore, what the statement I have quoted would lead anybody to infer I was, the companion of dustmen, hodmen, coal- heavers, and scavengers?
47400Was ever star so soft and fair?
47400Was he a man of sober habits and reputable character?"
47400Well, but this Primly-- what can_ he_ want?
47400Well, now, sir, what do you think I should find when I goes the first thing on Monday morning to our office?"
47400Well, one day at dinner, Jacky had only had once of meat, but he''d two helps of pood;""Of what?"
47400What account was taken of the roadside tent- holders, and the number of the families of these real"potwallopers?"
47400What answer could I make?
47400What are yours?"
47400What can she be about?
47400What can she mean?
47400What can you do?
47400What connexion is there between shirt- frills and glass bottles?
47400What do you do that for?
