42209The Hyrkanians would enslave me again, and the pirates would--''''What of the_ kozaks_?''
42209The conclusion was obvious; the man who made that track was carrying a burden, and what should it be but the girl the_ kozak_ was seeking?
42209Then he laughed down into the clear eyes, and said:''Why should not a chief of the Free People be preferable to a city- bred dog of Turan?''

42236''You mean you''re going to keep me?
42236''You-- are-- are you Yelaya?''
42236And stop crying, will you?
42236Are you betraying your master, or is he betraying his friends through you?
42236Could he have known about that rotten flagging?

42236Did he know I was here?
42236Did not Zargheba tell you what to say?
42236Did you climb the cliffs?''
42236Did you think you could fool me, you little idiot?
42236Had Zargheba seen him?
42236Had the priests of Keshia arrived?
42236Had those rotten flags simply chanced to give way beneath his weight, or was there a more sinister explanation?
42236How did you get into the valley?''
42236If so, where were they?
42236Oh, Conan, what are they?''
42236Oh, what shall I do?
42236Take me with you?''
42236Tell us, oh mouthpiece of the gods: what is their will concerning Thutmekri the Stygian?''
42236Then why had the door been shut above him?
42236Was it Zargheba, after all, who had struck the gong?
42236Was that indeed Yelaya, as the cold sweat on the backs of his hands told him, or was it that little hussy Muriela, turned traitress after all?
42236Was the man standing on something?
42236Was this the work of the priests of Keshan?
42236What are you crying about now?''
42236What cryptic secret was locked in that marvelously molded form?
42236What happened to you, anyway?''
42236What human could guess the motives or thoughts of these monstrosities?
42236What is your pleasure?''
42236Where is he now, girl?''
42236Where should he search first, in the limited time at his disposal?
42236Where the devil are you?''
42236Where''s the gem you wore in your hair?''
42236Why had the man dwelt in this desolate spot, and to what unknown destination had his servants departed after disposing of their master''s corpse?
42236is there no honesty anywhere?''
42254''A Pict?''
42254''After all,''said Valannus, as if speaking his thoughts aloud,''what do we know-- what does anyone know-- of the things that jungle may hide?
42254''Are you surprised?''
42254''But what thing is it that can cry like a woman and laugh like a devil, and shines like witch- fire as it glides through the trees?''
42254''But what was that-- that thing you killed in the altar- hut?''
42254''But,''Balthus persisted,''if he can order the beasts to do his bidding, why does n''t he rouse them all and have them after us?
42254''Did a man make that?''
42254''Did you ever hear of a Pictish wizard called Zogar Sag?''
42254''Do the soldiers know of this?''
42254''Do you think I''m afraid of a damned Pictish swamp devil?
42254''Have you got a horse?''
42254''How did you get away?''
42254''How do you know they were n''t killed by the Picts?''
42254''Jhebbal Sag?''
42254''Shall we take to the woods?''
42254''Shall we try to break through?''
42254''Sheep?''
42254''Stay here alone with this corpse and a devil hiding in the woods?''
42254''Then others will be on our trail?''
42254''There was no fighting?''
42254''There''s nothing we can do but save our own hides, then?''
42254''They''ll not rebuild the fort?''
42254''Warn Valannus?''
42254''What are we stopping for?''
42254''What are we to do, then?''
42254''What did you say to the Pict?''
42254''What do you mean?''
42254''What is it?''
42254''What is it?''
42254''What shall we do?''
42254''Who knows what gods are worshipped under the shadows of that heathen forest, or what devils crawl out of the black ooze of the swamps?
42254''Who the devil is your brother?''
42254''Who''s there?''
42254''Why did n''t you kill me then, if you could?''
42254''Why do n''t we keep to the canoe and make the trip by water?''
42254''Why do you stand like a sheep waiting for the butcher, Conan?''
42254''Why have the gods of darkness doomed me to death?''
42254''Would they come this far south if they lost the trail?''
42254''You are one of the fort''s garrison?''
42254''You see it''s I, do n''t you?''
42254''You think that was done with a knife or a sword?
42254''You went with the soldiers to the ruins of the fort?''
42254''You''re not a Gunderman?''
42254''Zogar Sag''s dead?''
422545 The Children of Jhebbal Sag''Which way is the river?''
42254Balthus mulled over this delicate ethical question for a moment, then shrugged his shoulder and asked:''How far are we from the fort?''
42254But how do you know it was not a Pict with some kind of a hook that rips instead of slicing?
42254Did you see it?''
42254Do you know why the Picts are not trying to burn the fort with fire- arrows?
42254If we can not hold the fort, how can they hold the town?
42254Mitra, how can anything move so silently?''
42254Perhaps you were there?''
42254The forest is full of leopards; why send only one after us?''
42254There are no ostriches in this forest, are there?''
42254They had covered more than a mile when Balthus said:''Does Zogar Sag catch leopard- cubs and train them for bloodhounds?''
42254What do you make of that?''
42254What new horror would come through that gate to make carrion- meat of his body?
42254Which is worse-- to betray a Pict who''d enjoy skinning us both alive, or betray the men across the river whose lives depend on our getting over?''
42254Who can be sure that all the inhabitants of that black country are natural?
42254Who knows what shapes earthly and unearthly may lurk beyond the dim circle of light our knowledge has cast?
42254Will you take a band of men tonight and endeavour to kill or capture him?
42254You''ve traveled widely?''
42188''And it was he that threw the stone?''
42188''And what now?''
42188''And what of me, sir?''
42188''But if these shapes were men, blasted into iron images by some god or devil, how can they come to life?''
42188''But what are your plans?''
42188''But what is it, then?
42188''Did you not see them?--The statues, moving, lifting their hands, their eyes glaring in the shadows?''
42188''Did you think I had forgot?
42188''Do you suppose there are others?''
42188''Have I not suffered enough?
42188''Hyrkanians?''
42188''It was not-- not_ they_ that destroyed our boat?''
42188''No law?
42188''Quarter?''
42188''Shah Amurath called you a_ kozak_; were you of that band?''
42188''Suppose we meet pirates, or a storm?''
42188''The youth they tortured was like the tall man who came?''
42188''Then we must spend the night here?''
42188''To sail a road of blood and slaughter?''
42188''What are we to do, Conan?''
42188''What are you talking about?''
42188''What did it say?''
42188''What gods?''
42188''What in Crom''s name, girl?
42188''What is it?
42188''What is it?''
42188''What manner of men were these copied from?''
42188''What would you?''
42188''What, Aratus, would you break the law of the Brotherhood, you dog?''
42188''What-- what is it?''
42188''Where are they?
42188''Where is that dog Aratus?''
42188''Where shall we find that?''
42188''Who are you?''
42188''Who are you?''
42188''Who are you?''
42188''Who can tell, at this distance?''
42188''Why should we not take up our journey again?''
42188''Would you be better off with me?''
42188At last a Shemite spoke up above the clamor:''Why do you argue over a dead man?''
42188But who?
42188Did they follow us?''
42188Did you have a nightmare?''
42188How long must my torment last?''
42188In what molds were they cast?''
42188Is there any humiliation, pain or degradation you have not heaped on me?
42188Madman or savage, what could he do, naked, against the mailed chief of Akif?
42188Must I aid my enemies?
42188See how the twigs are broken?
42188Shall I let you come aboard and cut out my heart?''
42188This, then, was the end of the trail-- for what human being could withstand the fury of that hairy mountain of thews and ferocity?
42188To me?''
42188Was it some trick of the moonlight that touched the eyes of the black figures with fire, so that they glimmered redly in the shadows?
42188What do you see?''
42188What lurks in this thicket?''
42188What might be lurking amid those nameless woodlands?
42188What mysteries do you guard, Wise Devil?''
42188What says the law of the Red Brotherhood?''
42188What was that?
42188What would you have, dogs?''
42188What?
42188Who knows?
42188Who''s your chief?''
42188Will you uphold my claims again?''
42227''All this without my knowledge?''
42227''And what did you tell these outcasts to gain their allegiance?''
42227''And what do they in Khauran?''
42227''And what then?''
42227''And what will they say when you ask them to fight for Khauran?''
42227''And where would you secure three thousand Hyborians?''
42227''Are you fit to live, Olgerd?''
42227''Bewitched?
42227''By Crom, what is this?
42227''Can you ask?
42227''Did he not ask your hand today?''
42227''Did you see it, Ivga?''
42227''Do I dream?
42227''Do you deem yourself chief already?''
42227''Do you imagine that by drugging a few of my maids and tricking a few of my guardsmen you have established a claim to the throne of Khauran?
42227''Do you, an Askhaurian princess yourself, suppose that the Queen of Khauran could treat such a proposal with anything but disdain?
42227''For recognizing my usefulness?''
42227''Have you discovered that you still have unshed tears?
42227''He is confined in the south tower?''
42227''How did you know that?''
42227''How, knave, do you know me?''
42227''I?''
42227''Is all clear?''
42227''Listen,''said Olgerd,''even if I were willing to throw away men on such a hare- brained attempt-- what could you expect?
42227''Never a twin sister whose flesh was as soft as yours to caress or hurt?''
42227''She wept?''
42227''Sister?''
42227''Still thinking of that cross, eh?
42227''Very good; but you would not deny me a little-- ah-- amusement first?''
42227''Well, what next?''
42227''What do you mean,_ you_ think not?
42227''What do you mean?''
42227''What have you done?''
42227''What have you done?''
42227''What madness is this?
42227''What-- what have you done to him?''
42227''Who am I?''
42227''Who are you?''
42227''Who are you?''
42227''Who dared give my guardsmen such a command?''
42227''Who''d have ever thought it of Queen Taramis?
42227''Why do you keep up this farce?''
42227''Will you conjure them out of the air?''
42227''You do not love my caresses, sweet sister?''
42227''You know how to reach the dungeons from the palace, Constantius?''
42227''You never had a sister?''
42227''You refused, dear sister?''
42227''You scum of the western hills,''he muttered,''have you dared seek to undermine my power?''
42227''_ What?_''Olgerd glared like a startled wolf.
42227And do you know why they bore me forth to die?''
42227But before you begin putting me in my place-- perhaps you will tell me whose soldiers camp in the plain outside the city walls?''
42227But what of it?
42227But who is that yonder?''
42227Can you wonder?
42227Did you know that Krallides, your faithful councillor, had come skulking back from Turan and been captured?''
42227Do you not remember me, Valerius?
42227Do you think these wolves could besiege and take a city like Khauran?''
42227Does it not grow weary of soft, city- bred flesh?
42227How goes the battle?''
42227How would the people rise against the Falcon''s Shemites?
42227Oh, Ishtar, why was I not slain?
42227Oh, Taramis, how could you betray the people who worshipped you?''
42227We d a bloody- handed adventurer, a man exiled from his own kingdom because of his crimes, and the leader of organized plunderers and hired murderers?
42227What if Khaurani fools learn the truth?
42227Why do you ask?''
42227Why do you come here?''
42227With sticks and pebbles?
42227Would you like to live?''
42259''Agreed; what about your men?''
42259''And what do you fools mean to do?''
42259''And what now?''
42259''And why do they fall back so stubbornly?
42259''Are we to fight his battles for him?''
42259''Are we to squat on our haunches until they smoke us out?
42259''Are we to take all the risks while he reaps the rewards?''
42259''Are you a magician, that you have conquered the Black Seers of Yimsha, Conan of Ghor?''
42259''Are you chief of Khurum?
42259''Are you still dizzy from your flight on the horse- of- air, that you doubt my wisdom?''
42259''But if the girdle aided you in conquering the Master,''she argued,''why did it not aid Khemsa?''
42259''But what good does it do us?''
42259''But what of me?''
42259''Conan?
42259''Did you hear that crash when you struck?
42259''Do you fear them?''
42259''Do you mean that lock of Bhunda Chand''s hair?''
42259''Do you think I ca n''t handle my own people?
42259''Do you think I''d trust you, you Hyrkanian dog?''
42259''Do you want to go there?
42259''Does the chief, Conan, fear them?''
42259''Gold?
42259''How can an ordinary human understand the motives of a Seer?''
42259''How long would it take to reach Yimsha from this point?''
42259''I?''
42259''Is Yezdigerd your vassal?''
42259''Is the dog that licks up the offal in the temple yard the vassal of the god?''
42259''Is there any who questions my authority?''
42259''Point of contact?''
42259''Terms?''
42259''The king dares not trample a worm in the road?
42259''Then what of me?
42259''To Afghulistan?''
42259''To chafe your rump on gold thrones, and listen to the plaudits of smirking, velvet- skirted fools?
42259''Well?''
42259''Were you not seeking me?''
42259''What are you going to do?''
42259''What are you hunting in the Zhaibar by night, Yar Afzal?''
42259''What are you obliged to do?''
42259''What could that have been?''
42259''What do you mean,_ he_?''
42259''What do you mean?
42259''What is that to you, dead man?
42259''What now, Conan?''
42259''What will she do?''
42259''What''s it to you, you Hyrkanian spy?''
42259''What?''
42259''Where am I?''
42259''Where are the seven chiefs held captive in Peshkhauri?''

42259''Where is Kerim Shah?''
42259''Where is Yasmina?''

42259''Who are you?''
42259''Who are you?''
42259''Who comes?''
42259''Who does not, Your Majesty?''
42259''Who else?
42259''Who knows what might come up the Pass after dark?
42259''Who knows?
42259''Who the devil are you?''
42259''Who the devil are you?''
42259''Who was that man you rode down?''
42259''Why are you trembling?''
42259''Why did you bring me here?''
42259''Why did you do that?''
42259''Why did you do that?''
42259''Why did you not give them to the girl?''
42259''Why did you persecute him?
42259''Why do they not gather and destroy the devils that inhabit it?''
42259''Why should you care if I live or die?''
42259''Why the devil did they get themselves trapped?''
42259''Why?''
42259''Wipe out wizards with swords?
42259''Would you be afraid to attack them?''
42259''Would you make me your king?''
42259''You are Conan?''
42259''You carried me away forcibly from_ my_ people; now will you leave me to die in the hills alone while you go down and sacrifice yourself uselessly?''
42259''You have received no word from the chief of the barbarians?''
42259''You mean-- disobey my masters?''
42259''You must not hold me--''''If the idea''s so repulsive,''he demanded,''why did you yield your lips to me so willingly?''
42259''You will not-- not kill her?''
422596 The Mountain of the Black Seers''Where now?''
42259As he hacked and smote like a man possessed, Conan had time for some chilling doubts-- would Yasmina keep her word?
42259But what of you, Conan?''
42259Do the Wazulis take orders from Yar Afzal, or from a low- bred cur?''
42259Do you flinch?
42259Do you suppose she was coming to aid me?
42259Have n''t I offered you gold?''
42259Have you so quickly forgotten my strength, once lent to you, that you come armed against me, you poor fool?
42259He beat down the din with a bull- like roar, and bellowed:''What devil''s play is this?
42259How can I explain my mystic reasons to your puny intellect?
42259How can you preserve your own life, much less mine?''
42259How is that?''
42259If they have slain the king now, why could they not have slain him months ago?''
42259In the meanwhile our way lies forward, does it not?''
42259Is it you, Conan?''
42259Is it you?''
42259Little fool, do you not realize that your royal pride is no more than a straw blown on the wind?
42259My sister, where are you?
42259That the man was a friend?
42259The Turanians fought their way through the Himelians once, but how many returned to Khurusun?
42259They are close behind you, you say?''
42259They say why should the Afghuli dogs profit by her, when it is the people who take the risk of guarding her?''
42259What do you think, Devi-- will they pay seven lives for a Kshatriya princess?''
42259What king has roamed the countries, fought the battles, loved the women, and won the plunder that I have?
42259What the devil are they doing here?''
42259What the devil do you want?''
42259Where are you taking me?''
42259Where is the gain?
42259Why did you destroy the king of Vendhya?''
42259Why fear the Black Seers?
42259Why should we desire gold?
42259Why will you be a slave, using your powers only to elevate others?
42259Will you go with us, or stay here to be flayed by the Afghulis who are following this man?''
42259Will you sacrifice your men to your own desire?''
42259Will you slay me, to avenge them?''
42259You came with a large attendance?''
42259You have news?''
32759After we have slain them all? 32759 And now what do you intend doing?"
32759And now you think you''ll drag me back to Zarallo''s camp?
32759And will you help us destroy the dragons?
32759Any word you want to send to your people?
32759Are the doors locked?
32759Are you mad, too?
32759Are you telling us we''re prisoners?
32759But afterward?
32759But what do you intend doing?
32759But what else could I do? 32759 But who built it?
32759Ca n''t we get into the trees and get away, traveling like apes through the branches?
32759Can we open the gate? 32759 Could n''t you have done it just as well in the throne room?"
32759Did Tascela send you?
32759Did you hear a lion roar? 32759 Did you think I would not guard against your possible return?
32759Do n''t you know?
32759Do you believe in ghosts?
32759Do you fear someone will hear you? 32759 Do you think I care what happens to you?
32759Do you think I''ve followed you this far, to turn around and ride off empty- handed? 32759 Down there?"
32759God? 32759 Have n''t I made my admiration for you plain ever since I first saw you?"
32759How could you hope to see all that, at this distance?
32759How do these people live?
32759How do we know these are all of them? 32759 How long do you suppose he''ll crouch there?"
32759How long have you dwelt here?
32759Is he running away?
32759Is there anything you have n''t been?
32759Olmec''s wife?
32759Stick your ugly head up here again, you long- necked brute-- or do you want me to come down there and kick you loose from your illegitimate spine?
32759Suppose a dragon comes out of the woods?
32759Tascela?
32759Then you agree?
32759Then your ancestors did n''t build Xuchotl?
32759They?
32759Was that where you were going, when you tried to send me off alone to the coast?
32759Well what?
32759Well, are we going to sit here on our rumps until we starve, like that?
32759Well, are you going to talk?
32759Well?
32759Were you a king in Kosala?
32759What about those fellows who were following us? 32759 What about yourself?"
32759What are you talking about?
32759What are you talking about?
32759What are you waiting down there for, you misbegotten offspring of questionable parents?
32759What are_ you_ doing on my trail?
32759What do you call yourself? 32759 What do you mean?"
32759What do you say?
32759What for?
32759What good will that do?
32759What is all this?
32759What matter?
32759What of the Stygian?
32759What sort of a place can this be?
32759What the devil are_ you_ doing on that thing?
32759What the devil has that got to do with those sticks?
32759What the devil is it?
32759What the devil were you doing bending over me? 32759 What the devil''s going on here?"
32759What the devil?
32759What then, Xatmec?
32759What''s that?
32759What''s the matter? 32759 Where are the fine ships and the bold lads you commanded, now?"
32759Where do I sleep?
32759Where is that?
32759Who are these people?
32759Who are you? 32759 Who can say?
32759Who is Tascela?
32759Who spoke of fear?
32759Who will go with Conan to Xotalanc?
32759Who''d have thought to find a city here? 32759 Whom do you mean by''they''?"
32759Why did you try to drug me?
32759Why do n''t the Xotalancas come over the roofs and shatter those skylights?
32759Why do n''t they open the door?
32759Why do n''t we come to a street?
32759Why do n''t we get out of this infernal palace, and take to the streets?
32759Why do n''t you scream?
32759Why wo n''t men let me live a man''s life?
32759Why, what do you suppose?
32759You mean to say this city is inhabited?
32759You think some of your enemies may be ahead of us, lying in ambush?
32759You-- you slew the dragon- god?
32759Your people came from Lake Zuad?
32759_ What''s that?_It was Valeria who exclaimed, but they both started violently, and Conan wheeled like a cat, his great sword flashing into his hand.
32759And have you found it at last?"
32759Are you trying to tell me that she was a wife fifty years ago?"
32759As for being penniless-- what rover is n''t, most of the time?
32759But Conan renewed his terror by asking:"What was that thing that I fought on the stair?"
32759But how came they in Tecuhltli?"
32759But what peril could have befallen her?
32759But why have you waited so long to strike?
32759But why should Kosalans be building a city this far to west?"
32759Conan?"
32759Could black people build a city like that?
32759Did you really follow me from Zarallo''s camp, or were you whipped forth for a rogue?"
32759He halted, reluctantly, and demanded:"Do you want me to take that toy away from you and spank you with it?"
32759His recent allies eyed him in amazement, and Conan asked, in the Aquilonian tongue:"Who is this madman?"
32759How could the Xotalancas control such a brute?"
32759If the people ran away, why should it have been bolted on the inside?"
32759If you had n''t accidentally touched my face with the petals, you''d have-- why did you do it?
32759Life?
32759Olmec?
32759Rising languidly from her seat she swept the ranks of her subjects with a searching glance, and asked:"Where are Xamec, Zlanath and Tachic?"
32759Some secret weapon you knew was hidden there?
32759Tascela?
32759The Eyes of Tascela_"Why did you bring me into this chamber to bandage my legs?"
32759Was Olmec mad, too?
32759Was a Xotalanca lurking down there?
32759Were all the Tecuhltli madder than he had realized?
32759Were you seeking something, in the pits?
32759What are you gaping about?"
32759What did I tell you?"
32759What do you in Xuchotl?"
32759What grisly food did you find?
32759What had happened to Yasala down there in the thick blackness?
32759What mad travesty of life did you live, in the stark blackness of that eternal night?
32759What race do they belong to?"
32759What''s all this about?
32759What''s that in your hand?"
32759What''s your game?"
32759Whence come you?
32759Where did these people keep their food?
32759Where did they go?
32759Where would you take me?"
32759Where''s Valeria?"
32759Who are you?
32759Who dwelt here?
32759Whom do you fear?
32759Why did they abandon it?"
32759Why did you join Zarallo?
32759Why do you ask?"
32759Why not?
32759Why should n''t I?"
32759Will it not seem strange, to have no foes to fight?
32759With the feud ended, what is left?"
32759Wo n''t they try to storm that door?"
32759You are professional fighters-- why not fight for us?
33432''Who comes here to disturb the royal peace?'' 33432 ''Who is I?''
33432A broken neck?
33432A thousand what, Uncle Munch?
33432About how tall?
33432All those? 33432 And I suppose, then,"said Diavolo,"if you belong to us you''ve got to do pretty much what we tell you to?"
33432And I won a hole, did n''t I?
33432And did n''t the Emperor treat you well, Uncle Munch?
33432And did n''t you ever see him again, Baron?
33432And did the robbers ever get down?
33432And may I ask your name?
33432And still you got him on deck?
33432And were n''t you ever punished?
33432And what did you do with the moose''s antlers?
33432Are you interested in giraffes?
33432Bub,said she, in a whisper,"do you think that was a true story?"
33432But were n''t you sea- sick?
33432But what became of the ivory?
33432But what became of the plough, Uncle Munch?
33432But what do they feed upon?
33432But, you know, do n''t you?
33432Could he talk?
33432Could n''t the fireman stop the engine?
33432Did n''t he see through it when he saw you put the army in your pocket?
33432Did n''t you and she make your last hole on a single stroke?
33432Did you see him do it, Uncle Munch?
33432Do I wish I had? 33432 Do n''t you wish_ you_ had two youngsters like us, Uncle Munch?"
33432Do they hunt men in India??
33432Do they hunt men in India??
33432Do they really relish them?
33432Do you suppose that''s true, Diavolo?
33432Does all heroes get killed?
33432Function-- duty-- what does the duty of a bear- shooer consist in?
33432Hello there, who wants 91162 Nepperhan?
33432How about the royalties on this book?
33432How did you lose Jang, Baron?
33432How the deuce do you make that out? 33432 How was that?"
33432I do n''t think we ever heard of that, did we?
33432I know it was mean, but what could I do?
33432I mean for horse- back riding, which would you rather have?
33432I should n''t think he''d live long if he does n''t eat?
33432I wonder where he can be?
33432In Hades?
33432Is he a blacksmith who shoes bears instead of horses?
33432Is that you?
33432Kept me? 33432 No post- office?
33432Oh, did n''t you?
33432Pebbles?
33432Pretty good catch for an afternoon, eh?
33432Pretty hot for literary work, is n''t it?
33432Saved your life, eh?
33432Seven?
33432Stenographer ready?
33432That is rather curious, is n''t it?
33432That you, Baron?
33432That''s what I thought; and when you ca n''t work ruin stares you in the face, eh? 33432 Then how the deuce am I to get hold of your stuff?"
33432Theology?
33432Those are real candy names, are n''t they?
33432True? 33432 True?"
33432Two? 33432 Uncle Munch,"said the Twins one day, as they climbed up into the visitor''s lap and disarranged his necktie,"was you ever up in a balloon?"
33432Was you in it for long?
33432Well, how about the missionaries?
33432Well,returned the Baron, thoughtfully, as if calculating,"did you ever see the Eiffel Tower?"
33432Well,said Mr. Munchausen,"you''re here again, are you?"
33432Well?
33432Were you killed by a shark?
33432Were you up in the air for three whole months?
33432What became of the June- bug?
33432What country would it have been, Mr. Munchausen,asked Sapphira innocently,"Germany or Siam?"
33432What did Bonaparte say?
33432What did they live on?
33432What did you do for hazards?
33432What did you do?
33432What do you say to that, Sapphira?
33432What does your venerable Dad say about it?
33432What good are they?
33432What is a Gillyhooly bird, anyhow?
33432What kept you, Uncle Munch?
33432What kept you?
33432What kind of a snake did you say he was?
33432What useful what?
33432What was it, Uncle Munch?
33432What was the nature of the letters?
33432What was the other boa doing while you were saving Wriggletto?
33432What what?
33432What''s cannon- ballism?
33432What''s snakes good for except to kill? 33432 What''s the nature of your story?"
33432What''s what, Uncle Munch?
33432What, do they lay Roc''s eggs?
33432What? 33432 What?"
33432What?
33432Where is Wriggletto now?
33432Where the dickens did they come from?
33432Where?
33432Which would you rather do, Angelica,Mr. Munchausen resumed,"go to sea in a balloon or attend a dumb- crambo party in a chicken- coop?"
33432Who was Jang?
33432Who was Wriggletto?
33432Who was he?
33432Why ca n''t we have both stories?
33432Why did n''t you come down?
33432Would you like to lie down and take a rest?
33432You do n''t mean to say that I have never told you about Wriggletto, my pet boa- constrictor, do you?
33432You gave up a hole, did n''t you?
33432You told pretty near the truth, too, Uncle Munch, because you are hot stuff yourself, ai n''t you?
33432''A regular lu- lu, eh?''
33432''But how?''
33432''Ca n''t you get closer to him?''
33432''Captain,''said I,''ca n''t you tie an anchor onto a hawser, and bait the flukes with a boa constrictor and make sure of him?''
33432''Have you got a sample of yourself along for me to taste?''
33432''How can we do it?''
33432''Shall we take it over?''
33432''What do you think it is?''
33432''What for?''
33432''What kind?''
33432''What shall we do?''
33432''Who am I?
33432''Who am I?''
33432Beelzy bowed in response to the compliment and observed to the Baron:"You ai n''t here yourself this season, be ye?"
33432Can you not see that it is raining cats and dogs without?"
33432Does the number include being struck by lightning?"
33432Have you got any plumbing in the camp?
33432How did the engine come to run away?"
33432How has this wrong upon the worthy realist of the eighteenth century been perpetrated?
33432How''s that for an offer?"
33432I cried,"Who in thunder do you suppose wants to play golf on a day like this?"
33432I do n''t know whether I ever told you about my first experience with the cannibals-- did I?"
33432I never told you of the bovine lie I got once while playing a match with Bonaparte, did I?"
33432I''m glad they were disappointed, are n''t you?"
33432If you were fast asleep while all this was happening how did you know that Jang did those things?"
33432Is it a Henry James dandy, or does it bear the mark of Caine?
33432Is it an intentional or an unwitting wrong?
33432Is it realism or fiction?"
33432May I inquire what useful function in the ménage of a hotel a bear- shooer performs?"
33432Munchausen?"
33432Munchausen?"
33432Munchausen?"
33432Rather neat idea, eh?
33432Really?"
33432So I answered,''Who is I, O Mtulu, Bravest of the Taafe Chiefs?
33432Suppose the giraffe should be awakened by the roaring of the lion before I got there and should rush off himself to escape the fate that awaited me?
33432The Baron?"
33432The Twins were silent for a few moments and then they asked:"Well, Uncle Munch, what kind of fire- works are safe anyhow?"
33432The question arises,_ why_ is this?
33432Then one of them asked:"But what did you live on all that time, Uncle Munch?"
33432They like to play stunts-- I think it is called stunts, is n''t it, when one boy does something, and all his companions try to do the same thing?"
33432Torpeters are n''t any harm, are they, Uncle Munch?"
33432V THE STORY OF JANG"Did you ever own a dog, Baron Munchausen?"
33432We went to see whence it came, and what do you suppose we saw?
33432What can I do for you?"
33432What do you say?"
33432What is its precise charm in your eyes,--the health- giving qualities of the game or its capacity for bad lies?"
33432What''s your number?
33432Where in Hades are you?"
33432Why do you know what happened to me when I was a boy?"
33432Why, am I late?"
33432Would you believe it, I found that my last bullet was the one with which I had saved the balloon from the Prussian shot?"
33432You''ve given up theology I presume?"
33432_ Chapter III._]"But the chickens?"
33432_ Chapter XIII._] There was a pause for a few moments, when Diavolo said,"Uncle Munch, is that a true story you''ve been giving us?"
33432asked the Twins,"was n''t the elevator running?"
23678About something else?
23678All night?
23678An''are ye goin''away now, Mister Paul?
23678An''is that you, Mister Paul?
23678An''what brought ye out o''your bed before breakfast like this?
23678And how did you know that?
23678And if the man who confesses is not the man who did it, who is?
23678And that was why the ghost no longer opposed the match?
23678And what happened afterwards?
23678And what is this that we are coming to?
23678And what manner of people are they who dare to live here?
23678And what was the phoenix like?
23678And when did I have Danny in the office?
23678And when did you get in?
23678And where does the road through the forest lead, that you so much wish to set forth upon it?
23678And why did the ghost go away?
23678And you open it in the morning?
23678Any passengers?
23678Are there not many poets among the inhabitants of Altruria?
23678Are you not Captain Vanderdecken?
23678But he kept his title?
23678But how could he open the safe?
23678But what are these alluring adventures of yours that stretched through the ages and across the continents?
23678But why talk of those who are dead and gone and are happy?
23678But yesterday morning?
23678By the ghost of one of the witches, of course?
23678Ca n''t I carry yer bag for ye, Mister Paul?
23678Captain Nemo?
23678Did he succeed in driving the ghosts away?
23678Did he succeed? 23678 Did n''t I ever tell you about them?"
23678Did the ghost leave Scotland for America as soon as the old baron died?
23678Did you know the lady herself?
23678Did you recognize him?
23678Did you recognize the strange scenes shown to you by these two instruments?
23678Do I understand you to intimate that both ghosts were there together?
23678Do n''t you?
23678Do n''t you?
23678Do you mean that the Major is n''t guilty?
23678Do you mean to say that the Tuxedo people have somehow been made acquainted with our bids?
23678Do you see that these windows are always fastened on the inside?
23678Do you see those peaks afar in the distance?
23678Does Mr. Wheatcroft wish to see me?
23678Harpies?
23678Has n''t the Major come down yet?
23678Have I ever been a samurai in my subconsciousness?
23678Have n''t I?
23678Have you been out for your lunch yet?
23678How could a ghost, or even two ghosts, keep a girl from marrying the man she loved?
23678How could he get into the store?
23678How could he? 23678 How did I know?"
23678How did he come over,queried Dear Jones--"in the steerage, or as a cabin passenger?"
23678How did he know they were swearing? 23678 How did you know?"
23678How do I know that you and Danny stood on your heads in the corner of the office with your heels against the safe, scratching off the paint? 23678 How was it ye knew that the winder was not fastened that mornin''?"
23678How, then, should I buy it?
23678I encourage him?
23678I hope she was n''t a daughter of that loud and vulgar old Mrs. Sutton whom I met at Saratoga one summer four or five years ago?
23678I''m not late, am I? 23678 If I may not see Pegasus,"I asked,"is there any chance of my being taken to the Castle of the Sleeping Beauty?"
23678If I understand you, Mr. Wheatcroft,Paul Whittier asked,"you are suggesting that there has been something done that is not fair?"
23678If you can recollect the''Shah- Nameh,''Stuyvesant pursued,"no doubt you can recall also Beaumont and Fletcher''s''Custom of the Country?''
23678In 1796?
23678In the clock?
23678In what year?
23678Is she there still?
23678It is a beautiful specimen of weaving, is n''t it? 23678 It is n''t dinner- time, is it?"
23678It seems curious, does n''t it?
23678Luckily?
23678Major,he said, with compassion in his voice,"you wo n''t tell me that it was you who sold our secrets to our rivals?
23678May I see what it is that''s so very strange?
23678Mike,he said, pausing on the door- step,"do you think you ought to smoke while you are cleaning out our office in the morning?"
23678My mystery?
23678My subconsciousness?
23678Not a single word of truth in it?
23678Not true?
23678Now how could it be the ghost of a witch, since the witches were all burned at the stake? 23678 Oh, it''s you, is it?"
23678Oh, that''s how you knew, is it?
23678On the North Sea?
23678Perhaps he kept his countenance veiled?
23678Picked up here and there-- like your bric- à- brac?
23678Possible?
23678Profitless?
23678Sailing east or west?
23678She accepted him, of course?
23678Sixteen years without a birthday? 23678 So you know me?"
23678So, besides being the owner of a haunted house in Salem, he was also a haunted man in Scotland?
23678Spooks?
23678That is your last word?
23678That?
23678The Tuxedo Company have taken away three contracts from us in the past two months,cried the junior partner;"we can be sure of that, ca n''t we?"
23678The phoenix?
23678Then how came it that the father and son were lost in the yacht off the Hebrides?
23678Then how do you come to know anything about it? 23678 Then where was the photographer hidden?"
23678There have n''t been two men at our books, have there?
23678There''s no use talking about these things, is there?
23678These, then, are the Happy Hunting- Grounds?
23678This a real grandmother you are talking about,asked the journalist,"and not a fairy godmother?"
23678Was it the guardian- angel ghost warning him off the match?
23678Was not Rustem a Persian Hercules, so to speak?
23678We all suspected this, as you know,the elder Whittier said;"have you anything new to add to it now?"
23678Well, Paul,said the father,"have I got down here before you after all, and in spite of your running away last night?"
23678Well, Wheatcroft,Mr. Whittier said,"what is all this mystery of yours now?"
23678Well, what of that?
23678Well,he said, holding out his hand,"and how are you after your nap?"
23678Were you concealed here yourself?
23678Were you lookin''through the window?
23678Were you peekin''in thro''the winder, Mister Paul?
23678What did he do?
23678What did he do?
23678What do you mean?
23678What good was it that ye got out o''bed before breakfast and come down here so early in the mornin''?
23678What has all this got to do with your ghost?
23678What kind of a mistake?
23678What morning was it?
23678What of it?
23678What was he like?
23678What was it, Uncle Larry?
23678What was the date when they left Russia?
23678What was the merry jest?
23678What''s strange?
23678What''s that you say?
23678What?
23678When does Bob get down here?
23678When he does come, tell him I want to see him at once-- at once, do you understand?
23678Where Rasselas lived?
23678Where are you bound?
23678Where bound?
23678Where did they get the banjo?
23678Where do you hail from?
23678Whittier, Wheatcroft& Co.?
23678Who is he?
23678Who makes up the bids on these important contracts?
23678Who was here Sunday?
23678Who was she?
23678Who were they?
23678Who would chase a tame goat?
23678Who writes the letters making the offer-- the one with actual figures I mean?
23678Who-- who is it?
23678Why did the Japanese ambassador sell you his dream- gown in a Nuremberg curiosity- shop?
23678Why not the sea- serpent also?
23678Why not?
23678Would I get up if I had n''t got to get up to get my livin''?
23678Ye was late in comin''down yesterday, was n''t ye?
23678Yes,Paul explained;"yesterday morning you let him light his cigarette from your pipe-- didn''t you?"
23678Yesterday mornin''?
23678You are not Time himself?
23678You do n''t dictate them to a typewriter?
23678You do n''t mean to say that they knew any just cause or impediment why they should not forever after hold their peace?
23678You do n''t mean to tell me that the ghost which haunted the house was a woman?
23678You have seen the phoenix?
23678You have seen what two of my instruments contain; would you like now to examine the contents of the other two?
23678You sleep here always, do n''t you?
23678You wo n''t have the cheek to declare that you do n''t remember the''Legend of Sleepy Hollow,''will you?
23678You would like to have him out at the Ramapo Works,said Paul, smiling at the little man''s violence,"and put him under the steam- hammer?"
23678You, too?
23678Your little bird has two legs, has n''t it?
23678An''if he was n''t here, how could he see me givin''ye a light from me pipe?
23678And do you know Rip Van Winkle?"
23678And how could this knowledge have been obtained except by an employee?
23678And what need is there of knowing the time when one has for companions only comely and well- conditioned men and fair women of sweet disposition?
23678And why should you think so?
23678Are you sure there is such a fellow?"
23678As the messenger drew near, a red- headed office- boy blocked the passage, saying, somewhat aggressively,"Well?"
23678But how about my Persian dragon and my Iberian noblewoman?"
23678Could he hear them?"
23678Did n''t it?"
23678Do I look so very old, then?"
23678Do you mind my using it?"
23678Do you see that grove of trees there at the base of the mountains?"
23678Do you think somebody else is the Tuxedo Company again?"
23678Do you understand?"
23678Do you understand?"
23678Have I a forelock?
23678Have I a scythe?
23678Have I an hour- glass?
23678He demanded, in stammering accents,"Who are you?"
23678How did she lose the one she was entitled to in 1808?
23678I recognize them, of course----""You recognize them?"
23678Is n''t that a very large order?"
23678Is that what you mean?"
23678Paul, may I trouble you to see that the door is closed so that we are out of hearing?"
23678Paul?"
23678She was n''t on a Russian ship again, was she?"
23678Stepping back to close the glass door behind him, that they might be alone, he said:"Mike, who shuts up the office at night?"
23678That is n''t accident, is it?
23678The faithful horse''s name was Rakush, was n''t it?"
23678The first is----""Persian, is n''t it?"
23678The real culprit, the man who is photographed here, is your son, is n''t he?
23678Then he made a final appeal:"Would you not wish to know even the matter of your end?"
23678There was a moment''s silence, broken by Wheatcroft suddenly saying:"The Major''s son?
23678This bit here was probably meant to suggest''the well where the head was washed,''--see?"
23678Those who attain to its borders never come back again-- and why should they leave it?
23678We''ve lost a contract, I suppose; but that must have happened lots of times before, has n''t it?"
23678Well, well, but you have heard of Rip?
23678Were you ever told that I was on a visit to Hendrik Hudson the night Rip went up the mountain and took a drop too much?"
23678What if it were the assassin of her son?
23678What would you say, if I declared that I had gazed on the dances of Salome and of Esmeralda?
23678Wheatcroft?"
23678Wheatcroft?"
23678Why, he''s dead, is n''t he?
23678You have heard of scrying, I suppose?"
23678You have read the''Shah- Nameh?''"
23678You know the story?"
23678You never heard of anybody who was burned having a ghost, did you?"
23678and then he looked up at Cosmo Waynflete and asked:"What are those buttons?
23678asked Mr. Wheatcroft--"the Major, and also the fellow who has been photographed?"
23678he cried, suddenly;"where was she living in 1804?"
23678that I had beheld the combat of Achilles and Hector and the mounted fight of Saladin and the Knight of the Leopard?"
23678was not that beyond the uttermost borders of the earth?
42243''A traitor, eh?''
42243''Ah, gods, what is this?
42243''Amalric crowned Valerius?''
42243''And Xaltotun draws his power from this symbol?''
42243''And do the people thrive under his benevolent rule?''
42243''And what is this damnable source?''
42243''And what of Zorathus?''
42243''And what of the people of Acheron?''
42243''And where''s Tarascus?''
42243''And you will go to Tarantia?''
42243''Are the guards out?''
42243''Are you a follower of Asura?''
42243''Are you a magician, too?''
42243''Are you leading me into a trap?''
42243''Are you lost, dog?''
42243''Are you mad, that you seek your doom?
42243''Are you mad, to invade the holy shrine of Set?''
42243''Are you sure he still sleeps?''
42243''Are you sure?''
42243''Bring that thing_ back_?''
42243''But what does this portend?''
42243''But wo n''t they skin you alive for stealing these keys?''
42243''Ca n''t you at least offer me a beaker of wine?
42243''Can any man see what I have seen and remain wholly sane?
42243''Conan?''
42243''Did he cross before the flood?''
42243''Did you hear it?
42243''Did you read naught from the sands?''
42243''Do Nemedian jackals set themselves up as executioners and hang my subjects at will?
42243''Do you know me, dogs?''
42243''Do you know me?''
42243''Do you mean the city of Tarantia?''
42243''Do you think to escape me?
42243''Do you yield?''
42243''For how long a voyage?''
42243''From what hell have you crawled, you nighted dog?''
42243''Have all the gates been closed?''
42243''Have you forgotten Valkia?
42243''Have you found the man who attacked me?''
42243''Have you wondered why the Shirki did not come down in flood and trap Conan on the other bank?
42243''He is dead?''
42243''How can we thwart him?''
42243''How did I come aboard here?''
42243''How did you know that?''
42243''How man?''
42243''How went the battle, my fair lord?''
42243''How, Arideus?''
42243''How, Beloso,''quoth Valbroso;''has he spoken?''
42243''How,"came"?''
42243''I wonder if that could have been Tarascus who fumbled at my cell door awhile ago?''
42243''If Xaltotun has been dead three thousand years, how can this man be he?
42243''If they are black magicians,''he had said,''how will they suffer you to harry them?
42243''If we are close enough to hear the drum,''said Valerius,''why do we not hear the shouts and the clang of arms?
42243''Is Poitain in revolt then,''asked Conan, watching the other closely,''that a man in Aquilonian harness is halted and questioned like a foreigner?''
42243''Is all well with the king?''
42243''Is aught amiss?''
42243''Is he in this temple?''
42243''Is he mad?
42243''Is there no wizard in the world who could make magic to fight Xaltotun''s magic?''
42243''Is there peace, then, between Stygia and Argos?''
42243''Is this death, then?
42243''King Tarascus has returned--''''What?
42243''Mad?''
42243''Man, are you mad?''
42243''No flood?''
42243''None has entered or left the pavilion this night?''
42243''Of whom did this man speak?''
42243''Oh, my lord, are you there?''
42243''Oh, what has happened?''
42243''So it is more than the whim of a brainless beast?''
42243''So long?
42243''Suppose there were torrential rains far to the north, at the head of the Shirki?
42243''The corsair?''
42243''The merchant Publio dwells here?''
42243''Then how was he ever overthrown?''
42243''Then if this was all planned,''Conan grunted skeptically,''all a plot to trap my host, why did not the"child of darkness"kill me in my tent?''
42243''Then why trouble to bring me back to life?''
42243''Then you do not know that Xaltotun brought the king of Aquilonia a captive to this palace?''
42243''Was it a mortal''s sword that felled you in your tent before the fight?
42243''Was it chance that led the man who wore your harness to lead his knights into the defile?--chance that brought the cliffs crashing down upon them?''
42243''Well, lead me out of this accursed temple, will you?''
42243''Well,''exclaimed Conan impatiently,''why do you sit with your head bent, staring at the hearth?
42243''Well,''growled Conan,''if you mean to murder me, why do n''t you do it and get it over with?''
42243''Well,''said Conan harshly,''is it not better to die honorably than to live in infamy?
42243''Well,''said Conan,''have you no word of greeting, Publio?''
42243''Well?''
42243''What are these but words?
42243''What are you doing?
42243''What are you saying?
42243''What are you saying?''
42243''What devil''s trick is this?''
42243''What did he bring from Messantia?''
42243''What did you find there?''
42243''What do you here?''
42243''What do you mean, your Majesty?''
42243''What do you mean?''
42243''What do you mean?''
42243''What do you mean?''
42243''What do you mean?''
42243''What do you mean?''
42243''What do you require of me?''
42243''What do you wish here?''
42243''What do you wish of me?''
42243''What does it matter?
42243''What does the dog say?''
42243''What else?''
42243''What enigma?''
42243''What game is this?''
42243''What grudge had those Nemedian dogs against you?''
42243''What is an hour-- or a day, or a year, or a century, for that matter?
42243''What is that about your waist?''
42243''What is your command, sire?''
42243''What is your present intention?''
42243''What is your wish, your Majesty?''
42243''What lousy tub is this?''
42243''What matter names?''
42243''What matter?''
42243''What matters it?''
42243''What means this unseemly mirth, dog?''
42243''What mortal can fight against sorcery?
42243''What now?
42243''What of Xaltotun?''
42243''What of the camp?''
42243''What place is this?''
42243''What purgatory can be worse than life itself?
42243''What ship is this?''
42243''What the devil did you do to me?''
42243''What then?''
42243''What then?''
42243''What word, Publio?''
42243''What''s your price?''
42243''What, then?''
42243''What?
42243''What?''
42243''Where are the officials of my court?''
42243''Where are we?''
42243''Where are you, curse you?
42243''Where else?''
42243''Where is Conan, he who was king of Aquilonia?''
42243''Where is he now?''
42243''Where is the headsman?''
42243''Which way did he go?''
42243''Who am I, even I, Thutothmes, to know what powers lurk and dream in those crimson deeps?
42243''Who am I?''
42243''Who are you, girl?''
42243''Who are you, knave?''
42243''Who are you, you filthy dog?''
42243''Who are you?''
42243''Who are you?''
42243''Who are you?''
42243''Who are you?''
42243''Who are you?''
42243''Who are you?''
42243''Who are you?''
42243''Who can look upon it without desire?''
42243''Who could doubt your loyalty?
42243''Who do you think you are?''
42243''Who goes there?''
42243''Who has n''t?''
42243''Who is this madman?''
42243''Why are you in conclave?''
42243''Why did he go to Messantia?''
42243''Why did you not employ the Heart to further your own power?''
42243''Why do you delay, headsman?''
42243''Why do you do this?''
42243''Why do you harry me with your squawking?
42243''Why do you not put a spell on his army to slay them all?''
42243''Why do you seek him?''
42243''Why do you tarry, dog?''
42243''Why have you allowed so many of your allies to fall pierced by arrows and spitted on spears?''
42243''Why have you come back from the gray lands of death to terrify me?
42243''Why have you delayed?''
42243''Why have you given me life?''
42243''Why have you hounded me?''
42243''Why not to me, or to Tarascus?''
42243''Why should Conan cross the river?''
42243''Why should he spare the Cimmerian?''
42243''Why should you risk your lives for me?''
42243''Why to you?''
42243''Why?
42243''Why?''
42243''Will he tell us how to open the box?''
42243''Will you give me quarter?''
42243''Would you know of what goes on in Aquilonia?''
42243''Xaltotun of Acheron-- man, are you mad?
42243''You are aware of that, are you not?''
42243''You did not recognize him?''
42243''You did not see him, my lord?''
42243''You do not fear to sit in the hut of a witch?''
42243''You have heard of Princess Akivasha?''
42243''You have seen Xaltotun unveiled?
42243''You know nothing of what has passed in the palace tonight?''
42243''Your master is within?''
42243''Your servant?''
42243''_ What?_''Tarascus started upright, and blood gushed from his opened wound.
422434''From What Hell Have You Crawled?''
42243Am I such a fool that I''m not aware that this fine mansion was built on my sweat and blood?
42243And suppose the Gundermen come up while the hosts are locked in battle?
42243And where did you get them so cheaply, while other merchants were paying their weight in silver to the Stygians for them?
42243And where would a priest of Set carry it but to Stygia?
42243Are Amalric, Tarascus and Valerius all but puppets dancing on your string?
42243Are there any further orders?''
42243Are you Xaltotun?''
42243Are you only a craftily trained feathered creature, or some devil in the form of a bird?
42243Because some obscure elemental principle prevented the flood do you deem me helpless?
42243Besides, who would not sell his miserable soul for a throne?''
42243But are you mad to come, a stranger and a foreigner, to the forbidden temple of Set?''
42243But do you realize the futility of sacrificing your subjects in a vain attempt to regain your crown?''
42243But his eyes flamed with exultant savagery and he panted:''Why do you stand afar off, dog of Belverus?
42243But how shall we steal it?
42243But what are you doing here?
42243But what could we do?
42243But what is this?
42243But what means this glimpse of Zamorian thieves sneaking through a subterranean temple of Set, in Stygia?
42243But what now?''
42243But what of the riddle you would read me this morn?''
42243But what of you?
42243But what, in Crom''s name, is this notable Heart?''
42243But who am I to say?
42243Can it be that the power to conquer Xaltotun lurks in that crimson bauble?''
42243Can you do nothing but wag your idiotic heads when I speak of ousting these dogs?''
42243Can you rely upon them for the winning back of your kingdom?''
42243Could he not, indeed, carve out another kingdom for himself?
42243Crom''s devils, do n''t you see we''ve drifted inshore during the fight?
42243Did Xaltotun set you on my trail?
42243Did any of you recognize the man?''
42243Do you doubt what I have said?''
42243Do you see?
42243Do you see?
42243Do you think we can sail into the harbor and take the city by storm?
42243Do you think-- are you sure-- do you believe such rains will fall?''
42243Do you want to run aground and be retaken by the Argosseans?
42243Has he sent you here to mock me?''
42243How could he know that this terrible figure out of the past was leading him to freedom?
42243How could the priests of Set know that the Heart had come southward?
42243How far is Conan from Tanasul?''
42243How is it that a priest of Mitra knows of the Heart of Ahriman, and the incantations of Skelos?''
42243How many cargoes from my galleys passed through your shop?''
42243How many men can you spare me?''
42243How, boy, do they flee?''
42243If you can show me that much, these shreds of vision which mean nothing, disjointed, why can you not show me all that is to occur?''
42243Is death worse than oppression, slavery and ultimate destruction?''
42243Is the long agony ended?
42243Living?
42243Suppose the river came down in such flood as to render the crossing at Tanasul impassable?
42243Tarascus?''
42243Tell me but this: has a galley, a black racing- galley returning from Argos, put into Khemi within the last few days?''
42243The Heart of Ahriman-- I dreamed I had found it again-- where is it?''
42243The Heart stolen from Xaltotun?''
42243There was no one to lead us----''''Was there not Count Trocero of Poitain?''
42243Was that child of the night guiding armed men on your trail?''
42243Was this in truth that blood- thirsty ogre of the southern seas who had so mysteriously vanished years ago, but who still lived in gory legends?
42243Were the gods smiting blindly, like swordsmen in a fog?
42243What ails the men of Aquilonia?
42243What are fifty thousand Nemedians?
42243What are your demands?''
42243What devil''s work is this?''
42243What deviltry is your master up to now?
42243What hand could grip so hard as to leave its print on that thick wrist?
42243What has he to do with this?''
42243What if I told you I might set you back on the throne of Aquilonia?''
42243What if the Nemedians have taken Tarantia?
42243What if the governor should learn of our past connections with him?''
42243What is that?''
42243What is the year?''
42243What of the wizard?''
42243What of this stranger who men say gives counsel to Tarascus?''
42243What ransom for my body?''
42243What''s the shortest way out of this?''
42243Where is Conan?''
42243Where''s Lord Valbroso?''
42243Where''s Thutothmes?''
42243Who am I to know the minds of the priests of Set?
42243Who are you?''
42243Who are you?''
42243Who is this veiled man who communes at midnight with Valerius and his allies, as men say, who appears and disappears so mysteriously?
42243Who shall stand before us?
42243Whom shall I announce?''
42243Why are you so urgent upon that point?
42243Why could they not trust Prospero?
42243Why did it cease when he died?''
42243Why did you grow wealthy so much quicker than your competitors?
42243Why not?
42243Why should I bring you up out of the pits to betray you now?''
42243Why should he not seek forgetfulness, lose himself in the red tides of war and rapine that had engulfed him so often before?
42243Why should he put us on our guard with his boasting?
42243Why should it not be himself?
42243Would a dog like him sacrifice himself?
42243Would you look into the past for a clue of the present?''
42243Yet what creature but man breaks bones for their marrow?
