6852And even then all these strange tendencies were distinctly marked in you?
6852And if I take you at your word?
6852And now?
6852And then--"What then?
6852And then?
6852And this is?
6852And threatened to strike you?
6852And what is the significance?
6852And what will you call it?
6852And why not?
6852And will you be my wife?
6852And you?
6852Are n''t you my slave, my property?

6852Are these satisfactory?
6852Are you angry?
6852Are you coming to kill me?
6852Are you happy?
6852Are you ill? 6852 Are you made less happy now, because of this?"
6852Are you ready, Gregor?
6852Are you satisfied now?
6852Are you still alive?
6852At present we have only the choice of being hammer or anvil, and I was the kind of donkey who let a woman make a slave of him, do you understand? 6852 But Severin,"I said placing my hand on his arm,"how can you treat a pretty young woman thus?"
6852But Severin--"But it is so,said I,"and just for that reason--""For that reason you would--"she smiled roguishly--"have I guessed it?"
6852But if I am willing to take the risk with you?
6852But madame, what put the idea into your head?
6852But of what value, for instance, would that be?
6852But why do you despise her, you foolish young man?
6852But, Severin,replied Wanda, almost angrily,"do you believe me capable of maltreating a man who loves me as you do, and whom I love?"
6852But, mistress--"Do you want a taste of the whip?
6852Can he tear himself free?

6852Do n''t you love me any more?
6852Do n''t you want to go on reading?

6852Do you love me any the less?
6852Do you need me any longer, mistress?
6852Do you remember the story of the ox of Dionysius?
6852Do you still love me?
6852Do you still love me?
6852Do you think I am at this moment merely cruel and merciless, or am I also about to become cheap? 6852 Do you think so?
6852Do you understand?
6852Do you want me to show you the agreement?
6852Do you, perhaps, understand some German?
6852For you, too?
6852Gregor?
6852Has anyone been here?
6852Have n''t you even a little bit of pity for me? 6852 Have you any rooms?"
6852He is very young?
6852He?
6852How could you imagine my loving a man of his brutal type? 6852 How do you like that, slave?"
6852How late is it?
6852How will this end?
6852How, so?
6852I am not afraid,I replied smiling,"where are the papers?''"
6852I like that word,she said then,"you are always to call me mistress, do you understand?
6852I might make you_ his_ slave,she replied quickly,"are you not in my power?
6852I need a large--"For a bull- dog, I suppose?
6852I really ca n''t stand it here much longer, and I am beginning to understand--"What, dear lady?
6852I remember it only vaguely, what about it?
6852I suppose you lost it in the Arno?
6852I suppose, I''ll have to be?
6852I want to see you very much in love, do you understand? 6852 I?
6852If I may ask,I finally began,"how did you arrive at these-- these conclusions?"
6852In Constantinople?
6852In what way, may I ask?
6852Indeed?
6852Is it you, Gregor?
6852Is this the expression you need for your picture?
6852It is the expression--he stammered,"but I ca n''t paint now--""What?"
6852Let me sign first,said Wanda,"your hand is trembling, are you afraid of the happiness that is to be yours?"
6852May I really whip him?
6852Must I confess to you, Wanda?
6852Not I?
6852Not even me?
6852Not? 6852 Now have you the courage to sign it?"
6852Now, are you ready to paint again?
6852Now, you are no longer Gregor, my slave,said she,"but Severin, the dear man I love--""And he-- you do n''t love him?"
6852Of course, I know, but why this great fondness for furs?
6852Oh, Wanda, must it be?
6852Papers-- what papers?
6852Perhaps I am a female Dionysius?
6852Perhaps, after all, there is n''t anything so very unique or strange in all your passions, for who does n''t love beautiful furs? 6852 Really-- of course-- but wo n''t you sit down?"
6852Really?
6852Seriously, no?
6852Severin, do you still love me,she suddenly exclaimed passionately,"can you still love me?"
6852Severin,she continued softly,"what is the matter?
6852Sevtchu, nothing,he yelled,"you are to obey, obey, do you understand?"
6852Shall I sign the contract?
6852So-- you are really in love-- with me?
6852Still alive?
6852The curious notes on its back--"Why curious?
6852The martyrs?
6852The way you are treating me,I broke out,"what would you call it?"
6852Too seriously? 6852 Wanda, what are you saying?"
6852Wanda, you--"Who gave you permission?
6852Wanda,I replied with emotion and tears filling my eyes,"do n''t you know how I love you?"
6852Was it through a sudden friendship with this? 6852 Well, has everything gone as you wished?"
6852Well, how do you feel now, half broken on the wheel?
6852Well, how do you like that?
6852Well, how do you like the picture?
6852Well-- am I?
6852Well-- are you still brave enough to put yourself into the power of Venus in Furs, the beautiful despot, for better or worse?
6852Were the martyrs also soft and sensual by nature?
6852What are you doing?
6852What are you looking for here, my dear sir?
6852What do you mean by that?
6852What do you mean?
6852What has given you so much courage, all at once?
6852What have you there?
6852What is disgraceful?
6852What is his name?
6852What is it?
6852What is the matter with you?
6852What is the matter with you?
6852What is the matter? 6852 What is the matter?"
6852What is the matter?
6852What play is this from?
6852What shall I do with you?
6852What theaters does he attend?
6852What worse can you do, than to make your lover, your husband?
6852What, Severin? 6852 Where is my slipper?"
6852Where is the whip?
6852Who says that he does n''t love me?
6852Who?
6852Whom shall I announce?
6852Why do n''t you come up?
6852Why not, if I adore you the more on this account? 6852 Why not?"
6852Why not?
6852Why so late?
6852Why unachievable?
6852Why?
6852Why?
6852Why?
6852Will you let me tie you?
6852Yes courage, to ask anyone to be your wife, and me in particular?
6852Yes, I am guilty,I said,"but have n''t I suffered because of it?
6852Yes, and I suffer more from it than you can imagine?
6852You adore him, Wanda?
6852You are to carry me, do n''t you understand?
6852You are trembling,said Wanda calmly,"shall I help you?"
6852You do n''t share it?
6852You do n''t want to leave then?
6852You forget that I am your mistress?
6852You love me even when I am cruel,said Wanda,"now go!--you bore me-- don''t you hear?"
6852You mean, mistress?
6852You mean?
6852You really insist upon being punished?
6852You really want it?
6852You suffer?
6852You want to remain my slave, even then?
6852You wish to possess me at any price?
6852Your friend?
6852_ Undraped_, of course not, but in furs,she replied smiling,"would you care to see mine?"
6852''Doest thou imagine long the goddess of love took counsel When in Ida''s grove she was pleased with the hero Achilles?''
6852***** Am I mad or is she?
6852*****"And the moral of the story?"
6852*****"Do you really then expect me to embody your ideal?"
6852Am I disappointed in the realization of my dream?
6852Am I not perfectly happy?
6852And I shall be very cruel to you, do you understand?"
6852And she gave up her whole plan as soon as I no longer opposed her and submitted to her imperial whim?
6852Are Americans children that they must be protected from books which any European school- boy can purchase whenever he wishes?
6852Are n''t you afraid of him?
6852Are you ill?"
6852Are you very unhappy?"
6852As soon as you cease being my slave, you must wear a velvet coat with sable, do you understand?
6852But have I still a choice?
6852But now we are through with that, are n''t we?
6852But what am I saying?
6852But what did she tell me?
6852But why talk in superlatives, as if something that is beautiful could be surpassed?
6852But-- what has happened?
6852Can you deny that our Christian world has given itself over to corruption?"
6852Did I persuade you or did you inflame my imagination?
6852Did n''t Lady Venus in your dream prove that to you?
6852Did you see him?
6852Do n''t you think so too?"
6852Do you care to know how?"
6852Do you really wish to marry me?"
6852Do you remember the first time we met?"
6852Do you still love me, or do you already hate and despise me?
6852Do you understand?"
6852Does she know, that she will meet him there?
6852Gogol, the Russian Moliere, says-- where?
6852Has he a wife?"
6852Has she ceased loving me?
6852Has the beautiful stranger taken complete possession of you?"
6852Have n''t I always been honest with you?
6852Have n''t I the agreement?
6852Have n''t I warned you more than once?
6852Have they gone that far?
6852Have you no pity for me?"
6852He does not love you--""Who says that?"
6852Her white hair seems still to be of stone, and her white gown shimmers like moonlight, or is it satin?
6852How I managed to get up courage enough I really do n''t know, but I took hold of her hand, asking,"Could you love me?"
6852How could I have any doubts?
6852How does it make me feel?
6852How much of what was hovering in my memory was true; what had I actually experienced and what had I dreamed?
6852I go up to the gallery, quite close, and ask Wanda"Do you love the painter, mistress?"
6852I have a rendezvous in the Cascine, and you, my dear Chevalier, will accompany me; I know, you will do it, wo n''t you?"
6852I have been delighted, but are n''t you tired of it already, and do n''t you think I am abominable?
6852I stammered,"that you were n''t serious?"
6852I want a slave, do you hear, Severin?"
6852I was already lying in her arms, and like a serpent she was kissing me with her tongue, when again she whispered,"Are you happy?"
6852I will be your dog-""Do you know, you bore me?"
6852I wonder if I can still do it?"
6852If not for her, for whom would princely furs be suitable?
6852Is it Venus, or the widow?
6852Is it an omen?
6852Is n''t that so?
6852Is she afraid of him?
6852Is she afraid that he will strike her?
6852Is she laughing at me?
6852Is that satisfactory to you?"
6852Is that ugly?
6852Is there an understanding between them?
6852It made me start terribly, I do n''t know why?
6852It seems to me as if she were smiling at me saying:"Are you there?
6852Let us be sensible, what do you say?"
6852Or is it fever?
6852Or is it simply that formerly my eye did not see this?
6852Or was I mistaken?
6852Or was it actually only stubbornness?
6852Shall I belong to one man whom I do n''t love, merely because I have once loved him?
6852Shall I put on my fur- jacket?
6852She asks:"And what about the lioness?"
6852She has driven him insane enough to be sure, or is she hatching a new torment for me?
6852Suppose she did abuse my passion, her power?
6852This final tableau does n''t please you so well?"
6852To- day he suddenly turned to me with his vibrant voice and said:"You love this woman?"
6852Wanda looked at me-- how did she look at me?
6852Was it my idea or yours?
6852Was it the result of my present life, or was I so before?
6852We cease to think, to feel, to will; we let ourselves be carried away by it, and ask not whither?
6852We love each other infinitely, we are very happy, will you sacrifice our entire future to a whim?"
6852Well, and why did n''t you leave?"
6852Well, which do you prefer?"
6852Were I say to you: this serene, sensual life, this paganism is my ideal, would you be strong enough to bear it?"
6852What am I really, a little dilettante or a great big donkey?
6852What am I saying?
6852What are her intentions?
6852What are you talking about?"
6852What do you think of him?
6852What do you want now?
6852What does she intend now?
6852What does she purpose to do with me?
6852What have I experienced?
6852What honest woman has ever been as devotedly loved as a hetaira?"
6852What is the matter with you, everything will remain just as it was, even after you have signed, do n''t you know me yet, dear heart?"
6852What is the meaning of this?
6852What shall I do, so that He may punish me?
6852What was occupying her?
6852What will she do with me now, or has she forgotten me, and left me to trim hedges and bind bouquets till my dying day?
6852What will she say?
6852What?
6852Who is cruel there-- woman or man?
6852Who will give warrant that I shall not abuse your insane desire?"
6852Why do you ask?
6852Why does my heart beat so?
6852Why not?
6852Yes, I am_ cruel_--since you take so much delight in that word- and am I not entitled to be so?
6852You are trembling?"
6852Your eyes glow so, do you love me?
6852_ I grant you all the rights of a husband, of a lover, of a friend._ Are you satisfied?"
6852said Wanda, scornfully,"perhaps I can help you?"
6852she asked,"but what is the matter with you, are you ill?"
14323''But if I come to see you, what could we talk about, in the state you yourself are in? 14323 ''Was he softened, weakened by his nights of debauchery, terrified by the audacity of his own sacrileges, ravaged and torn by remorse?
14323''Your aunt lives in Lyons?'' 14323 And Dr. Johannès cures people poisoned in this manner?"
14323And as Gévingey says, where now are the saints who directed them? 14323 And do you know what has become of the terrible Docre?"
14323And do you think,said Gévingey bitterly,"that the profession of astrologer is less decried, less neglected?"
14323And his experiments with Mattei medicine?
14323And homeopathy?
14323And in what has it not been sought?
14323And in what street is the ceremony to take place?
14323And leave me with no hope?
14323And now?
14323And she ran off with another man?
14323And the act is consummated in the same manner as the normal human act?
14323And the black mass?
14323And there?
14323And these hosts consecrated in blasphemous offices, what use is made of them when they are not simply destroyed?
14323And what are you doing?
14323And what is that over there?
14323And you are sure that these are facts?
14323And you do n''t know yet when you will finish your volume?
14323And you will claim,said Durtal,"that you are n''t Satanic?"
14323And you, Monsieur Gévingey, some carrots?
14323Any news of the election?
14323Are these,he asked,"technical works about metals and bell- founding or are they about the liturgy of bells?"
14323Are you angry at me?
14323Are you doing anything this evening?
14323But Dr. Johannès does not cure all sufferers, without discrimination?
14323But come now, you have proofs?
14323But have n''t they tried?
14323But how did a priest fall so low?
14323But if I did n''t love you would I have come to you?
14323But if I did not love you, would I have come to you? 14323 But if the study of the sidereal influence is so important,"said Durtal,"why do n''t you take pupils?"
14323But it is only spirits of Evil that can be evoked?
14323But tell me, what class of people are these modern covenanters with the Devil?
14323But tell me, what the devil is an educated man, of no ordinary intelligence, doing, working as a-- as a day labourer?
14323But what are his methods?
14323But what do the curates and other titulary abbés_ do_, if they unload their duties onto the backs of others?
14323But what do these priests want?
14323But what do they burn that smells like that?
14323But what does this abbé do?
14323But why bother?
14323But why, why, want to go so far?
14323But with what?
14323But you are sure he is coming back?
14323But you did not quarrel?
14323But,said Durtal,"why is the sparrow- hawk chosen in preference to other birds?"
14323Ca n''t we help you set the table?
14323Can I commit it?
14323Cold, dear?
14323Come, Monsieur des Hermies, a little more salad?
14323Cross upside down?
14323Dare I ask you in what spirit he received this confidence?
14323Did you expect to meet saints here?
14323Do you believe that he indulges in sorcery, that he celebrates the black mass?
14323Do you find it a bit raw?
14323Do you know what I think?
14323Do you know what this perfume suggests? 14323 Do you mean to say that the number of bells a monastery or church can have is limited by rule?"
14323Do you mean to tell me Flaubert and the De Goncourts were in love with the age?
14323Do you receive, at night, the visit of the incubus which resembles me?
14323Do you suppose that the Angels, who, of earth, obey only the saints, would ever consent to take orders from the first comer?
14323Docre''s?
14323For heaven''s sake, who is this doctor?
14323From whom?
14323Got angry? 14323 Have they rediscovered the incomparable secret of antiquity?
14323Have you ever attended the Black Mass?
14323Have you seen him?
14323He is slightly mad, is n''t he?
14323Here,said Des Hermies,"will you pour hot water slowly into the filter?
14323Holy sodomy, in other words?
14323Honestly,said Durtal,"you believe that the old- time doctors came nearer healing?"
14323How did you happen to make his acquaintance?
14323How do I know? 14323 How do you like our cider?"
14323How many children did he disembowel after deflowering them? 14323 How old?"
14323How will he purify our bodies?
14323How''s that?
14323How''s that?
14323How''s that?
14323How?
14323I do n''t?
14323I want to ask you,said Des Hermies,"does a woman receive the visit of the incubus while she is asleep or while she is awake?"
14323Indeed, what can she have been up to with that abbé who was her confessor and who, by her own admission, launched her into incubacy? 14323 Is Carhaix''s bronchitis cured?"
14323Is he in?
14323Is he so inexorable, your confessor?
14323Is it too much to ask you the name of the abbé who is to officiate?
14323Is n''t it tiresome lying in bed?
14323Is she married?
14323Is that where Docre lives?
14323Just what seems to be the matter with him?
14323Mad? 14323 Monsieur, do you know what has happened?"
14323Nearly there?
14323No merit on our part,replied Durtal,"for what else is there to talk about?
14323Now is it true that I am to come here no more?
14323Now tell me, monsieur, how do you like my foster children?
14323Oh, no; you do n''t believe that at this very hour the devil is being evoked and the black mass celebrated?
14323Oh, would you try to make me think you have never received a woman here?
14323Quite right,he said, resigned,"but what would you have?
14323Shall we dine together?
14323Slightly? 14323 So you do n''t believe in theurgy, white magic?"
14323Soon?
14323Tell me,Durtal asked Des Hermies,"do you know whether a woman who receives visits from the incubi necessarily has a cold body?
14323That I have only to desire them, to desire you, before I go to sleep...."And?
14323That is no reason why--"What do you mean?
14323That so? 14323 That what?
14323That? 14323 The Black Mass?"
14323Then how can there be any assurance of the reality of the phenomena?
14323Then it is n''t possible that you do n''t know what to make of him?
14323Then it must be supposed that Johannès is a man amended ahead of time, an apostle animated by the Holy Ghost?
14323Then there are rich people who have their horoscopes cast?
14323Then,rejoined Des Hermies, putting on his hat,"an author who boasts of being a dilettante, confesses by that very thing that he is no author?"
14323This is a real chapel, is n''t it?
14323Want any help?
14323Well now, what do I risk? 14323 Well, admitting that I too am not indifferent, where is this going to lead us?
14323Well, how shall I proceed when she does come?
14323Well, is n''t cholera transmitted by letters? 14323 Well, then, is a priest absolutely essential to the celebration of these offices?"
14323Well, what in the world is this man, about whom I hear so much?
14323Well,and he smiled,"do you still commit infidelities to me with a false me?"
14323Well,he said,"what have you to reproach me with?
14323Well,said Des Hermies, pursuing his cross- examination,"aside from that, what has Dr. Johannès been doing in this long time since I last saw him?"
14323Well,said Des Hermies,"are you interested in my astrologer?"
14323Were you working when I came in? 14323 What about?"
14323What are a few of them?
14323What are they?
14323What are you reading? 14323 What are you reading?"
14323What are you thinking about?
14323What did the manuscript say?
14323What difference is it to you where you take your airing? 14323 What do you hope for if you have no faith in the coming of Christ?"
14323What do you mean?
14323What do you think of him?
14323What does he do with the precious stones you mentioned?
14323What does he do? 14323 What does she mean?"
14323What does she see in me? 14323 What for?
14323What if I refuse?
14323What indeed? 14323 What is it he''s making you take?"
14323What is the binding- alloy that amalgamates all these beings of hers? 14323 What makes you think that?"
14323What more could have been expected of a used- up sleepy- headed king, the issue of an infamous mother and a mad father?
14323What motive would she have for staying away? 14323 What rôle is the Pope to play?"
14323What sort of a ring was that you spoke of?
14323What sudden change of heart does the Marshal now experience? 14323 What was the conduct of Gilles de Rais toward Jeanne d''Arc?
14323What''s going on in the world?
14323When shall I see you again?
14323When shall I see you?
14323Where is he taking me?
14323Where is that?
14323Where is the leg of mutton?
14323Where shall we go?
14323Which one?
14323Who knows whether she is n''t laughing at me this very moment? 14323 Who knows?
14323Why did n''t you say so?
14323Why do n''t you get a portable stove?
14323Why do they attack him?
14323Why do you say that?
14323Why not?
14323Why, are n''t you feeling well?
14323Why, what did he do?
14323Why, what is this?
14323Why?
14323Why?
14323Why?
14323Will you please pass the gingerbread?
14323Wo n''t you please sit down?
14323Working hard?
14323Would n''t you like to pay a visit to the top of the tower?
14323Would you be sorry if I did not love you?
14323You admit, then, that he is dangerous?
14323You are sure of it?
14323You are sure?
14323You guarantee the truth of this story?
14323You shrug your shoulders, but tell me, how much has naturalism done to clear up life''s really troublesome mysteries? 14323 You think that the Rosicrucians are satanizing?"
14323You think, then, that the Maid of Orleans was really responsible for his career of evil?
14323You will come again soon, wo n''t you?
14323You?
14323After all, what could he reproach her with?
14323Ah, was she Satanic, too?
14323Am I about to send you a page of comic lamentations?
14323And Chantelouve?
14323And anyway, what do you think you can see up there?
14323And how many other of these priests she has gone around with have been her lovers also?
14323And if Hyacinthe did not come?
14323And if she did not come?
14323And is n''t it standing in the holy place now?
14323And then, how can I explain to him?
14323And then, what good was this going to do him?
14323And then.... Do you want me to be frank, so frank that I shall doubtless seem a monster of selfishness?
14323And those gentlemen who seem to be hiding in the darkest places?"
14323And though his identity was made pretty patent in the article, the man did not dare prosecute the editors.--What''s the matter with you?"
14323And what can this be?"
14323And what do I look like?
14323And what does this demonstrate, that these demonomaniacs were hystero- epileptics?
14323And what does this manual have to recommend in the treatment of the possessed?
14323And who but God can accomplish such a miracle?"
14323And why would n''t it be?
14323And yet, why had she spoken that way to Des Hermies?
14323And you think you can make any progress against a stream like that?
14323And your husband?"
14323And, knottiest enigma of all, what was money?
14323Anyway, have I not had the best part of you, in that hesitant letter of yours which shook me out of my lethargy for an instant?
14323Are these kingdoms identical or is one to follow the other?"
14323Astonished at once by Durtal''s languor and the ascetic tone of his remarks, Des Hermies exclaimed,"Ah, we had a gay old time last night?"
14323At least it was curious and heterodoxically arranged?"
14323Brought up as they are, what will they do in Life?"
14323But before you go wo n''t you have another little drink?
14323But does this serve to convince the incredulous?"
14323But how explain her infatuation with me?
14323But it would be very nice to come and see you without having evil thoughts to fear, would n''t it?"
14323But look here, are n''t you of the decided opinion that the creatures who so piously, infamously, follow these offices are a bit mad?"
14323But monsieur already knows something about it?"
14323But must you go so soon?"
14323But since you are so well informed, do you know how spells are conjured away?"
14323But speaking of the news, what do you mean by saying there is nothing of pressing importance?
14323But what difference does that make to the clergy and the congregation?
14323But what does it matter?
14323But what say we taste a bit of this crême de céléri which Monsieur Durtal praises so highly?"
14323But what say, now, to putting on your shoes?
14323But where shall I meet her?
14323But who would be playing one on me-- I do n''t know anybody-- and why?"
14323But why should I not tell you that we were mad about each other at one time?"
14323But why was the Marshal a monomaniac, how did he become one?
14323But you have n''t drunk your coffee?"
14323CHAPTER IV"How is Gilles de Rais progressing?"
14323CHAPTER XXII"You like that?"
14323Did I hesitate as soon as I knew?
14323Did he see him whom Bulwer Lytton in_ Zanoni_ calls''the dweller of the threshold''?
14323Did he think himself above the law because of his lofty rank?
14323Did not a chance encounter often decide the entire life of a man?
14323Do n''t they disinfect all mail in the time of epidemics?"
14323Do you know of any way whereby I may see Canon Docre in person?"
14323Do you know that that order, to live up to its professions of poverty, was supposed not to possess even a bell?
14323Do you know your apartment is charming?
14323Do you know, M. Durtal, there are only two men in Paris who can ring chords?
14323Does madame wish me to guide her?"
14323Does she feel more at ease there, or does she think the propinquity of her husband will render the sin more piquant?
14323Does she loathe Chantelouve, and is this a meditated vengeance, or does she count on the fear of danger to spur our senses?
14323Does she really fear disillusion, as she claims?
14323Does she wish to yield nowhere except in her own home?
14323Enough of that, old man, and now where have you been keeping yourself?"
14323Exactly what do you want to know?"
14323Having written you only a short note?
14323He kissed her, then,"Seriously, that man is really a monster?"
14323He swore that he never had, that she was the first...."And you were not really anxious that this-- first-- should come?"
14323He was regaining his entire liberty of mind, but who could tell what trouble this liaison had yet in store for him?
14323Her ideas about his book were mediocre enough, but who would expect her to be a critic?
14323Here?
14323How did he live?
14323How far had you got with your lecture, Des Hermies?"
14323How real is the pretended power which the deicide chemists are alleged to wield?
14323I shall go see him-- agreed?"
14323If I were to die tomorrow, what would become of those two unfortunates?"
14323If you wish to let matters remain just where they are-- and thus cause me a great deal of pain-- will you not tell me so, frankly?''
14323Impunity seems assured him, for what peasant would be mad enough to attack a master who could have him gibbeted at a word?
14323In attempting to fan her flame I kindled myself-- for a spectre-- and at once I received this:"''What shall I do?
14323In the chapel?"
14323In this weather?"
14323Incredible, of course-- and was n''t hypnotism, possession of one soul by another which could dedicate it to crime-- incredible only ten years ago?
14323Is he young or old, handsome or ugly, rich or poor?"
14323Is it Docre who transmitted this knowledge to you?"
14323Is it more surprising that space should also be crammed with spirits and larvæ?
14323Is n''t it revolting?"
14323Is she Satanizing, and is this some of the work of Canon Docre?
14323Is she accessory to Chantelouve''s pecuniary dodges?
14323Is she really thinking how grotesque the amorous somersaults are?
14323It is n''t she, but who on earth is it?"
14323Johannès?"
14323Johannès?"
14323Keep on tantalizing myself for a chimera?
14323Look here, do you sincerely believe in his miraculous cures?"
14323No joking, you believe in a contemporary Satanistic manifestation?
14323No?
14323No?
14323Not having set a date sooner?
14323Now will you love me any better?"
14323Now, briefly, how much truth is there in the stories of the sacrileges of which this priest is accused?"
14323Now, how shall I make her speak up?
14323Once again he put himself this question:"Why, when I went to her house, did she not let me see that I pleased her?
14323Or did he hope to disarm the duke by playing upon his venality, offering him a ransom of manors and farm land?
14323Or is it because the founders no longer invoke Saint Anthony the Eremite when the bronze is boiling in the furnace?
14323Or is she, as I believe, a melancholy and terrible player- around- the- edges, thinking only of herself?
14323Otherwise, how could she arrange to come here at nine o''clock at night, instead of the morning or afternoon on pretence of going shopping?"
14323Progress of what?
14323Progress of whom?
14323Really, you believe in no future amelioration?"
14323Really?
14323Right here on earth how could any of us deny that we are hemmed in by mystery, in our homes, in the street,--everywhere when we came to think of it?
14323Seriously, what is the use of trying to understand the character of this pious harlot?
14323Shall we grant Satanism?
14323Shall we play hide- and- seek with the cat?
14323She murmured, in the cadence of a canticle,"Tell me, dear, you will come tomorrow night, wo n''t you?"
14323She was silent, then in a singing voice she said,"Tell me, you will come to my house tomorrow night, wo n''t you?"
14323So that two questions arise: first, can a child be born of such a union?
14323Tell him the story?
14323Tell me, how does he operate, with the blood of mice, with broths, or with oil?"
14323Tell me, when will you come again?"
14323The Cardinal pointed to a page and asked,''Did you write that?''
14323The altar then was the naked buttocks of a woman; in the seventeenth century it was the abdomen, and now?"
14323The lady has gone to bed?
14323The observations of Dr. Richet, expert in such matters, are conclusive, but wherein do they invalidate possession?
14323Then what was to be done?
14323Then, in spite of her age, your wife had needs which you were unable to satisfy?"
14323Then, mademoiselle, you wish to be cured?''
14323Then, what can be believed and what can be proved?
14323Then,"What time is it?"
14323There are curates who think nothing of saying,''Need a man?
14323This Docre, where did he come from, what did he do formerly, how did he happen to become a master Satanist?"
14323This procedure they attribute to miracle workers to explain away the supernatural-- why do n''t they use the method themselves if it is so simple?"
14323To deny it is to deny evidence-- and who wants to be a materialist, one of these silly freethinkers?"
14323Today churches have more or fewer bells as they are more or less rich.... Oh, well, why worry?
14323Today you find people who say,''Are you quite sure that the stars have an influence on the destiny of man?''
14323Understand me?
14323Using purely chemical formulæ, they get along without sacrilege?"
14323Was he rich or just comfortable?
14323Was he tired of living as he did, and did he give himself up, as so many murderers do, because he was irresistibly attracted to punishment?
14323Was it possible to have so desired a woman, only to come to-- that?
14323Was n''t it also he who decreed that the torture must not be repeated twice in the same day, so as to give fear and pain a chance to calm down?
14323Was the story of Ligeia re- enacted?
14323Well, how can we hope that in the future the offspring of the fetid tradesmen of today will be decent?
14323Well, what is this sin of his?"
14323Were not the elixirs of life and the love philtres which the witches sold to the senile and impotent composed of similar or analogous substances?
14323What about this Mattei system of medicine?
14323What about?"
14323What could be going on in the soul of a man who had had the figure of Christ tattooed on his heels the better to trample Him?
14323What did Gilles do when she was captured, how did he feel about her death?
14323What do you find?
14323What dreadful phantom rose from the tomb?
14323What else?
14323What ensued?
14323What faith can we put in the tales of evoked larvæ killing a designated person to order with corrosive oil and blood virus?
14323What has Melchisedek to do with your affair?"
14323What has become of your friend Des Hermies?"
14323What have been their relations?
14323What is his name?"
14323What is she after?
14323What is the meaning of this unexpected invitation for tomorrow night?
14323What is this sin?"
14323What kind of a place did he have?
14323What kind of an excuse will she make to Chantelouve, to get away tonight?
14323What matter, then, if Michelet was the least trustworthy of historians since he was the most personal and the most evocative?
14323What more need be said?"
14323What seems to be the matter?"
14323What shall I do?
14323What significance can this salmagundi of pagan orders have on a Christian church?
14323What was he thinking as he sat, not reading but just looking at the police news?
14323What was love, what the other incomprehensible shaping influences?
14323What were you saying?"
14323What will become of me when it is?
14323What''s it all about, anyway?"
14323What, then, was the matter with him?
14323Where are the little glasses?"
14323Where are you in your history of Gilles de Rais?"
14323Where will you unearth people willing to study twenty years without glory or profit?
14323Wherein is that less miraculous than evocation of demons, than spells cast by magicians or pastors?
14323Which saint is that?"
14323Who does not know that shoddy mage, commercialized to his fingertips?"
14323Who knows what situations a thing like this is going to lead to?
14323Who would suspect that while I wrote it my sole thought was of You?''"
14323Who, then, can despise it-- aside from certain persons whose lamentable lot must often have wrung a tear from you?
14323Whom have I ever visited?"
14323Why reject the divinity of Christ?
14323Why, oh, why, had she had to have those rages of lust?
14323Why, what''s the matter?"
14323Why?
14323Why?"
14323Will you wait?"
14323Wo n''t you stop and rest a minute?"
14323Would you mind if we invited him here to dine?"
14323Yes, but who will put me in touch with this monstrous priest?"
14323You have proofs?"
14323You here?"
14323You know Canon Docre?"
14323You know that legend?"
14323You must have had a quarrel with a kinsman or kinswoman?''
14323Your globules and electric phials at least relieve a few sufferers?"
14323_ The anatomy of the mass?_ Oh, it''s a poor thing, for Protestants.
14323do you know that to witness such things would aid me signally in my work?
14323exclaimed Durtal,"and would it be too much to ask you how this former priest foresees and checks these astonishing assaults?"
14323he said, exasperated,"what are you made of?"
14323said Durtal, dumbfounded by the placid and resolute air of this woman,"but suppose he had strangled you first?"
14323you brought me here on purpose?"
54672''And this busto placed below him?'' 54672 ''And this lusty jolly fellow, crowned, with vine branches and myrtle, who is he?''
54672''And this other blind man?'' 54672 ''Is this possible?''
54672''Six months leave, Madam? 54672 ''Tis Egle, without doubt?"
54672''Where am I?'' 54672 A deperdition of substance, good marquiss,"said a young person,"pray what is that?"
54672And how has your highness caught them in a lye?
54672And how have you lost him?
54672And not to lose ourselves in speculative reasoning,added the favorite,"is not Egle, with all her sprightliness and charms, a model of virtue?
54672And on whom?
54672And ought that perswasion,replied Mirzoza,"to hinder the players from representing the event in the most natural manner?"
54672And what did the good natured Ostaluk say to this?
54672And what is this fine thought, which you meditate?
54672And what rarity was there in that?
54672And which are those two things?
54672And who told you that it is so?
54672And why is she not here?
54672Are there any travels in this part of your history?
54672As how?
54672But at length,said the favorite,"you comforted your self?"
54672But at this rate,says the favorite,"you have never been in love?"
54672But at what hour?
54672But by what part did they think,replied Mirzoza:"for that is the point in dispute?"
54672But if you allow it possible,replied Mirzoza,"who has revealed to you, that they do not actually exist?"
54672But in fine, what is the result of all these experiments? 54672 But sincerely, are you not convinced that the virtue of the women of Congo is but a mere chimæra?
54672But whence proceeds this fury?
54672But who has drawn down these scourges on this wretched country? 54672 But why should Marmolin be safe from the prattle of the Toys?
54672But, madam,replies Mangogul,"it is not her husband that she loves"----"Who then?"
54672But,replied the Sultan,"are you not an astrologer?"
54672But,said Selim to the favorite,"of what would you compose affectionate and sensible women, constant and faithful lovers?"
54672By what then will they speak?
54672Can there be a more dreadful one than the indiscretion of a Toy? 54672 Continue, madam,"said Mangogul,"I understand you; would you not have said, has my highness never acted the beast?
54672Count,says Mangogul to Hannetillon,"then you have been particularly acquainted with Cynara?"
54672Decency is then unknown in those countries?
54672Do you admire the manner in which they are conducted? 54672 Do you not remember the properties of my ring?"
54672Does madam know,says Selim to the favorite,"that poor Codindo is dead?"
54672Does the Sultan allow my system from beginning to end?
54672Doubtless,replied the Sultan;"what is your opinion, madam?"
54672Frenicol,continued Sophia,"we want two----What, do n''t you understand?"
54672Frequent journies?
54672Have the philosophers, who presided over your highness''s education, ever entertain''d you on the nature of the soul?
54672How can the ladies bear to pass whole nights round a Pharaoh table, to tremble in expectation of an ace or a seven? 54672 How did you set about it?"
54672How do you sell them?
54672How have you said, prince?
54672How long since this adventure?
54672How so?
54672How, by the Pagoda Pongo Sabiam,cried Husseim,"my wife''s Toy speaks, and what can it say?"
54672How, madam,replied the old courtier,"was it possible not to have them, without passing for a man come from the other world?
54672How, perhaps,reply''d Ismene, piqued at this injurious doubt,"what have I to fear from them?"
54672How,said Mangogul,"have you not a memorial on this subject to present to my Seneschal?"
54672How,said the Sultan,"do I intend to use it?
54672How?
54672I am as sensible of the impending danger, as you can be,answered Sophia, with an air of indifference;"but how to shun it?
54672I do not allow, that you have hit it off,says Mangogul:"but supposing you have, do you know a remedy?"
54672I think it a good one,says Mangogul:"But who knows the stories of all those fools; and tho''they were known to any, who could relate them like you?"
54672If Toys have the faculty of speech naturally,say they,"why have they not made use of it till now?
54672Is that a dream of very difficult interpretation?
54672Is the child able to stand alone? 54672 Is the child born?
54672Is this,said they in the public walks and coffee- houses,"is this governing a state?
54672It is?
54672Madam,answered Selim,"might one ask from whom you have it?"
54672Madam,said Mangogul,"have you not advantage enough by your wit and figure, without taking the robe to your aid?
54672Madam,said he,"how long is it since you have lost your husband?"
54672Madam,says Selim to the favorite,"might not Fulvia be of use to you in some station or other?"
54672No, madam,replies Mangogul;"for pray tell me what he would say?"
54672No, madam: how would you have me understand, when you say nothing?
54672No, that is not probable: has he found it too bad to deign to attack it? 54672 No,"answered Mangogul:"her banishment shall be at an end, but have you no apprehensions that it may be at the expence of her virtue?
54672Once more who wants me, and for what? 54672 Pray, how that?"
54672Pray, madam, may I ask you what that injury is?
54672Pray, madam,replied Mangogul,"what interest can these have in disguising the truth?
54672Pray, what connexion is there between Frenicol, Eolipila, muzzles, and the danger which threatens us? 54672 Pray, who disputes that with you?"
54672Pray, why not, Sir?
54672Pray,replied the Sultan,"why will you extend your hatred so far?
54672Prince,says she,"what ails you, you say nothing to me of Zaide?"
54672Shall I eternally have this huge Flandrian Valanto? 54672 Should Mirzoza happen to lose the few charms which she is thought to have, would Mangogul love her still?"
54672Sir,answered Velvet- Paw,"who doubts, it?
54672That is vexatious,replied Mangogul;"but what think you of my secret?"
54672The poor man,continues Fadaes,"was strangely embarassed: why did he not take them both?"
54672Then the true taste of eloquence is lost in Congo? 54672 Then, in your opinion, this virtue is a very ambiguous thing?"
54672This is the first word I heard of it, but what did he the of?
54672Upon what account?
54672Was the fate of the other charms the same?
54672Well, Seneschal, will you believe me another time?
54672Well, delight of my soul, what do you think of my definitions?
54672Well, gentlemen,says he to them,"ye whom nothing escapes, that passes in the empire of gallantry, what news from thence?
54672Well, madam,replies Bloculocus,"do you know what might be said of those who pass these judgments?"
54672Well, my poor Selim, then you abandon me? 54672 Well, prince,"said Mirzoza,"has the account of Cypria''s travels done you any good?"
54672Well, prince,said she upon seeing him,"who has won the day, you or Orcotomus?
54672Well, prince,said she,"what are your thoughts of my system?"
54672Well, prince,said she,"what have you heard?
54672Well, what do you think of them?
54672What ails you, my soul''s delight?
54672What defect is that?
54672What do I hear in all assemblies? 54672 What do they do there?"
54672What do you ask me? 54672 What do you say?"
54672What do you tell me, Selim?
54672What do you want, my son?
54672What have I done to these monsters to dishonour me? 54672 What have you said, my soul''s delight?"
54672What is to be done then?
54672What neighbors?
54672What the devil are you then?
54672What will the world say? 54672 Which Toy,"says one,"and what has it said?"
54672Whither do all the thoughts of a child tend, what are his pleasures, when, secure on his legs, his feet have acquired the habit of moving? 54672 Who?"
54672Why did he not address some of the vestals, of which our monasteries are full? 54672 Why not for Eolipila?"
54672Why not?
54672Why so?
54672With all my heart,says Mangogul:"but who is this same Philoxenus?"
54672Your notions to me appear just,replied Mangogul:"why do you not publish them?
54672Zaide?
54672_ Every thing, if they knew as much as I._"And what do you know?
54672_ Exactly._"And with whom, pray? 54672 _ No._""Comedians?"
54672_ No._"Have I had intrigues, adventures?
54672_ No._"Mr Impostor, you are at your wits end?
54672_ To what do you reduce me, Ismene?_said the Toy, breathing a deep sigh.
54672_ Well then, virtuous Ismene, have you quite forgot young Osmin, the sangiac Zegris, your dancing master Alaziel, your music master Almoura?_"Ah! 54672 _ Without doubt._""And of what nature?
54672''And are these deserts made for you?''
54672''And how do you employ them?''
54672''And to what purpose?
54672''And which is that?''
54672''But by what chance,''replied I,''is the divine Plato here, and what does he do among these madmen?''
54672''Does madam stand it at last?''
54672''For what value?''
54672''Into what labyrinth have I thrust my self?''
54672''Is that all?''
54672''Pray, what would you have me ask of her?''
54672''What answer will you give to Brama, before whom you are going to appear?''
54672''What means this blower of bubbles, and all these decrepit infants employ''d in making them fly about?
54672''What seek you here, madam?''
54672''Which?
54672--"What is the business, ladies?
54672--''Good, who can fix such fribbles?''
54672--''How,''said I, interrupting him,''had Socrates a straw, and did he blow bubbles?''
54672--''Not at all?''
54672--''Speak, madam, what is the cause?''
54672--''Well then know, my dear, that I resolved to be converted''--''You, to be converted?''
54672--''What is it then?''
54672--''Who will collect these scraps,''continued Plato,''and restore us Socrates''s robe?
54672----"But perhaps one might"----"One might do nothing, I tell you"----"But speak, my dear, what might one do?"
54672----"Can this be true, my dear?"
54672----"Have you not told me that you are translating Philoxenus, and that he wrote in Greek?"
54672----"Is that true, madam?"
54672----"Then you understand Greek?"
54672----"Well,''tis: who would have thought it?"
54672----"What is it?"
54672----"What will you do?"
54672----''Almost to the end of the novel''----''And with whom?''
54672----''And whither did all this lead ye?''
54672----''And who knew that you were at Banza?''
54672----''And why not?''
54672----''And you love her?''
54672----''But,''answered Fannia,''Amisadar is a lier perhaps: do you imagine that there are women so daring as to abandon themselves without shame?''
54672----''If Marteza was indifferent to me; if Cydalisa was dearer to me than ever, what would you do?''
54672----''No, Sir, how, are you there still?
54672----''Nothing''----''How, nothing?''
54672----''That is singular''----''And what singularity is there in it?''
54672----''Then it must be Zumpholo?''
54672----''Then madam has seen him lately?''
54672----''Then you are going?''
54672----''Trust not to such foresight?
54672----''What is that to me, madam?''
54672----''Why then do you hide such beautiful things?''
54672----''You enjoyed?''
54672----I was departing, but Cydalisa pull''d me by my Doliman, and turned back in a hurry.----''Does madam want to speak with me?
54672A man bless''d with an amiable person, a fine genius, and excellent character, would not be heeded?"
54672A woman adorn''d with talents, wit and beauty, would not touch?
54672After yawning several times;"this is not Alonzo, what''s o''clock, who wants me?
54672Am I not certain of Fulvia''s love?
54672Am I then a Sultan for nothing?
54672And after all, what does it signify, whether it be a woman''s Toy or her lover that proves indiscreet?
54672And have you not remarked, that in Volucer and Zelindor the head is submissive to the feet?
54672And in fact, what is their natural philosophy, their astronomy, their navigation, their mechanics, their calculations, in comparison of ours?
54672And indeed, who is the person that can see clear in that place?
54672And is not its certainty evinced by the number of phænomena, to which it extends?"
54672And of what importance are rules to me, provided a writer pleases me?
54672And what organs?
54672And what would become of these ladies, if their husbands were of your humour?
54672And what would you do, if I sent them to you in quality of ambassadors?
54672And who are all these folks?''
54672And who are the unhappy women, whom these will fit?
54672And who knows what a Toy may have in its soul?"
54672And why may not our eloquence and poesy have the superiority likewise?"
54672Are things less exposed?"
54672At length Zelida ceased.----"Well,"said she,"the business relates to our Toys, our own Toys, do you understand me, Mr. Frenicol?
54672Besides, I do not see, that those loving women, whom they set us as models, are happier than others''----''Who told you so, madam?''
54672Besides, did mortals ever speak as we declaim?
54672Besides, do you believe, prince, that a lover is satisfied with a kiss, such as a woman bestows on her pug- dog?"
54672Besides, when the mouth and Toy of a woman contradict each other, which to believe?"
54672Between us, is this true?"
54672But after all what will it say?"
54672But do you love any thing at present?''
54672But even tho''the_ Bijoux indiscrets_ should be found behind your toilet, do you think it would be a matter of wonder?
54672But how to help that?
54672But if credit were given to us, is it not true, Mr. Ricaric, that literature would shine with greater lustre?"
54672But if her residence varies in infancy and youth, why should it not vary thro''every stage of life?"
54672But is not all this hightened?"
54672But was the other so diverting?"
54672But what did Orcotomus say?
54672But what then?
54672But why should she lose it?
54672But_ à propos_, do you know that Zulemar is daily at her toilette?"
54672By what mechanism does it fall out, that one of the mouths is forcibly kept shut, while the other speaks?
54672Can I without horror see the dearest object of my love perish?
54672Can Zima now think, that it becomes her to play the scrupulous?
54672Can you desire me, madam, to drown my self, in order to oblige you?''
54672Can you tell any particulars?"
54672Could you give me a sample of his morals?
54672Did Orcotomus boast of silencing a Toy that had never utter''d a word?
54672Do kings and princes walk otherwise than a well- bred man?
54672Do n''t you guess at the cause?''
54672Do princesses speak in a shrill squeaking tone?
54672Do you bring fresh matter for our conversations?"
54672Do you hesitate still?
54672Do you know that you are mad?
54672Do you not admire the fecundity of my principle?
54672Fatme, how well concerted was your disorder?
54672Folly is a good girl.----Will madam be pleased to take a turn in the garden?
54672For what do not people of this stamp find fault with?
54672For what would the world say, if there was any suspicion of my being here?"
54672From another quarter was heard:"Forty years ago, were the new cookery and the liquors of Lorraine so much as known?
54672From which of the two would you please to purchase the distemper?
54672Has he forgot your services?
54672Has he not a lusty footman who is a better man?
54672Has she any commands for me?''
54672Have I been really in Love?"
54672Have they ever gesticulated like persons possessed or raging mad?
54672Have they not preached many extravagances to you on that article?"
54672Have you a mind to vex a child of four years old?
54672He had an affable air, a smiling mouth, a noble gait, a mild look; and I went directly to him, and asked him without ceremony:''Who are you?
54672He has walk''d with her for more moons than one?
54672He is for the affectionate women''----''And you too without doubt?''
54672He thought himself beloved by Mirzoza: but did not Zaide love Zuleiman better still?
54672He was kill''d in the last battle, and six children are the only legacy he left me"--"He left you?"
54672His enemies,( and who is there without them?
54672Hitherto you have, in my opinion, found your account in our connection; why would you run the risk of breaking it off?
54672How come these beasts to deserve the preference?
54672How do you like my little lodge; it is as good as some others, is it not?"
54672How far are you advanced?''
54672However, she one day said to the Sultan:"Prince, might not your ring, which has saved Kerfael''s life, put an end to Egle''s banishment?
54672I desire to be loved, I am, and who has told me that Zuleiman is more so than I?
54672I have it,''tis young Imola?''
54672If Cydalisa was constantly the most lovely of her sex in my eyes; and if I never had the least design on Marteza; once again what would you do?''
54672If you ask Selim, who thoroughly well knows the catechism of Cythera,''what is love?''
54672If you employ it for the discovery of truth, and the happiness of your subjects, can you think the Genius will be offended?
54672In effect, the moment before, what was Codindo?
54672In fine, madam, what shall I tell you?
54672In vain did you envelop yourself in darkness, in vain did you choose mute accomplices: do you not hear them at present?
54672Is it in the schools that politeness is to be sought for?
54672Is it not thy injustice, greedy incredulous man?
54672Is it possible that you give into those pitiful notions?
54672Is it true, sir?
54672Is not Amisadar a lucky man?''
54672Is the subject a conspiracy?
54672Is there any other rule but the imitation of nature; and have we not as good eyes as those who studied her?"
54672Is this your opinion, madam?
54672L._ Platonic Love._"But is this Zaide an unique?
54672Let me die, if ever you run into devotion''----''I will, I tell you: there is no sincerity in man''----''Pray has Mazul fail''d you?''
54672Libertin Toys, and what next?
54672Madam, how stands this matter?"
54672May I be informed what brings ye hither?"
54672May I presume to entreat you to walk to this bed?"
54672Might not madness also consist in this?
54672Might not one say, that your wife''s Toy is the only one that has not common sense?
54672Might not the Genius, from whom you had it, have intended some more important end?
54672Might one be informed what sort of woman would hit your taste?''
54672Must you condescend to wait for my awaking?"
54672Nothing has withheld you, neither the condition I was in, the injury you were doing me, nor the word you had given me?"
54672Nothing seemed more equitable than their requests: but on what fund to ground pensions which amounted to millions?
54672Now, pray, is there any thing like this in the tragedies which you extol to us?
54672On the recital which the Sultan made her of this adventure,----"Prince, what do you say?"
54672Ought I not to have learnt, once for my whole life, by my adventure with Cydalisa, that true love was too prejudicial to happiness?"
54672Pray does it speak still?
54672Pray, how are they feasted?"
54672Pray, is it the conversation of the Bramin Brelibibi, that has wrought your conversion?''
54672Prince, what ails you?"
54672Prince,"continued she directing her discourse to the Sultan,"apply to----whom shall I name?
54672Prince,"cry''d the favourite,"what have you said?"
54672Prince,"replied Mirzoza with vivacity,"what do you tell me?
54672Prince,"replied the melancholic Selim,"why did I not follow the advice of Mirzoza; and the misgivings of my own heart?
54672Ricaric?"
54672Selim, to morrow at Fulvia''s, do you hear?
54672Selim, to whom do you sacrifice me?
54672She has built a little chapel in her house, doubtless for the Sala, which supposes an Iman: and''tis this place which I ask''----''What say you?''
54672Sir,''cried she, disengaging herself from his arms,''what sort of man are you?
54672Speak, ladies, what are your commands?"
54672That which appears supported by the graces carved on the sides of his pedestal?''
54672The Sultan, taking the advantage of this incertainty, and addressing the ladies, said:"You have Altars then?
54672The invisible Sultan step''d up to him, and whispered in his ear:"Have you enough?"
54672Then have you forgot Haria''s pack?
54672Then immediately addressing Phenice:"Madam,"said he,"was not your husband a Pacha?"
54672Then turning to the servant, he ask''d:''Does not thy master see butterflies?
54672Then was her Toy heard to cry out:"Why do you fly me?
54672Thus the affair is settled, is it not?
54672To tyrannize over a pretty woman, to lay her under contribution, on pain of military execution: can you discover Selim in this proceeding?"
54672Utremifasolasiututut, said the latter, is excellent when he is good, but he sleeps at times; and, pray, to whom does not that happen?
54672Was Mangogul in the right?
54672Was Mangogul in the right?
54672Was it before, was it after my marriage?
54672Was it not enough then that our conduct was in the power of our Toys, without our reputation being dependent on their discourses?"
54672Was not Cydalisa''s esteem of greater value than the favors of a Marteza?''
54672Was she handsome?
54672Was she ugly?
54672We were uniques: but now, my dear, we shall be like a hundred thousand others; do you look on this as a hard fate?"
54672Well, what have you learnt?
54672Well, you have studied women much?
54672What advantage is there in fixing to one?''
54672What advantage will accrue to me, in case the favorite should win a castle; and what will be my fate, if she loses it?
54672What business has my Toyman here, and what is a muzzle?"
54672What can it be, when the heart says nothing?"
54672What can one do with Lazuli?
54672What do I say of admiration?
54672What do you pretend to do with this troop of extravagants?"
54672What do you think of this furniture?"
54672What has befallen your master?''
54672What have you pronounced on women?"
54672What is all this to me?
54672What is the business?"
54672What use is made of them?"
54672What was Mangogul doing all this time?
54672What would have become of me, great Brama, if I had fallen to the share of one of those insipid wretches, who are always upon the watch?
54672What would he not have attained, if he had been a genius?
54672What, do n''t you find genius, invention, fire, details, characters, and fine strokes of wit in them?
54672When Alphana was almost naked, then did she perceive that Hippomanes was undressing her.--"What are you doing?"
54672When a Toy has nothing ridiculous to tell, what does it signify, whether it be silent or speak?"
54672When he is on the point of birth, what would become of his head, body and arms?
54672Where am I?
54672Who could believe, that a body formed by the graces, sometimes enclosed a heart molded by the furies?
54672Who ever knew how to declaim, and who will ever speak a part like the old man?
54672Who has made ye insolent enough to lie in my presence?
54672Who knows?
54672Who will compose light catches, voluptuous airs, and symphonies in character like the young one?
54672Who will let me into the secret of these things?''
54672Why did you not send me notice?
54672Why do you make me uneasy?
54672Why do you not consult him?"
54672Why do you not go to Manilla''s house?"
54672Why has none of them spoke of aught but the same subject?
54672Why has not the same Toy spoke more than once?
54672Why then do you delay to shake off the yoke of Cadabra, and return under the mild laws of Brama?
54672Will Bloculocus give me the explanation of this phænomenon?"
54672Will you suffer her to remain longer miserable?"
54672With Petits- maitres, military men, senators?"
54672Without esteem, what is love?
54672Would you be understood, that inconstancy must dishonour a woman?
54672Would you please to have some rare Toys?"
54672Would you undertake to clear up this chaos?"
54672Wretch, what have I said?
54672Yet how to resist the clamors and persecution of these women, by whom you, sir, are particularly teazed?"
54672You believe it, and that is sufficient?"
54672You have then cleared up your unjust suspicions?
54672Zuleiman, you cast down your eyes, what ails you?
54672_ A propos_, have you not taken a course in that sublime school, before you entered the Seraglio?"
54672and how long are you here?''
54672and what is Selim''s?
54672are you there, my queen?"
54672as to that,"says Hippomanes,"I shall be very modest: and how is it possible not to be as devote as an angel in a private lodge?
54672cried he most mournfully,''why did I not stick to my little milliner?
54672dear and tender lover,"says Zaide,"why have I not always found you such as you are at present?
54672does not the soul reside in those places, where she almost only manifests herself, and where she feels the most agreeable sensations?
54672far from me this cruel thought.--He hates me,''tis true; he has quitted me for Bimbreloqua, but perhaps some time or other----why do I say, perhaps?
54672fy,"cried the little wench,"fie"--"Fell mine little Shoul,"answered the Swiss,"fat you ail?
54672madam, who could imagine you were in Banza?
54672madam,"rejoined Selim,"is it the heart that speaks at the age of eighteen or twenty?"
54672nothing?"
54672prince,"cried the favorite,"if men refused a soul to the greatest monarch upon earth, to whom could they allow one?"
54672prince,"replied Selim with vivacity,"Fulvia is faithful to me:""faithful, or not,"answered Mangogul,"what is that to your happiness?
54672prince,"said she,"what is become of your oaths?
54672replied Mirzoza,"did you gather nothing at all from her narrative?"
54672says the young maiden.----''Is what you have told me true?''
54672what a question do you propose to me,''said he with a sigh,''and what thoughts do you bring back to my mind?
54672what can I expect from it?
54672you expect to be loved, you?''
