42664 | Am I not beautiful, man? |
42664 | By Crom, Niord,gasped he,"am I alive, or are we all dead and in Valhalla?" |
42664 | Have I been backward in the sword- play, stranger or no? 42664 Have I said so?" |
42664 | Then why do you not rise and follow me? 42664 What know you of the gods of ice and snow, you who have come up from the south to adventure among strangers?" |
42664 | What matter? |
42664 | Who are you to swear by Ymir? |
42664 | Who are you? |
42664 | He is from the south; what does he know of Atali?" |
42664 | In Ymir''s name, Amra, why did you wander off into the wastes of the north? |
42664 | Or the giants in icy mail I slew?" |
42664 | Tell me, woman, have you caught the flash of mail across the snow- plains, or seen armed men moving upon the ice?" |
42664 | Who is the strong warrior who falls down before me?" |
42183 | ''And if we meet them?'' |
42183 | ''Are you afraid?'' |
42183 | ''But what of the worlds beyond the river of death?'' |
42183 | ''But who were these old ones?'' |
42183 | ''Can you pay for your passage?'' |
42183 | ''Make a litter of spears and mantles to bear these jewels-- where the devil are you going?'' |
42183 | ''What matter?'' |
42183 | ''What of your own gods? |
42183 | ''Who are you?'' |
42183 | ''Who invited you aboard?'' |
42183 | ''Who is Bêlit?'' |
42183 | ''Why do the guardsmen pursue you?'' |
42183 | 3 The Horror in the Jungle_ Was it a dream the nighted lotus brought? |
42183 | Conan, do you fear the gods?'' |
42183 | Had it feared to come within reach of fangs that might turn and rend it? |
42183 | See how dark and murky they run? |
42183 | What do you believe, Conan?'' |
42183 | What else shall men ask of the gods?'' |
42183 | What use to call on him? |
42183 | Whence come you?'' |
42183 | Why had not the winged master come to the aid of its slaves when he struggled with them? |
42209 | ''Are they better than the pirates?'' |
42209 | ''Are you looking for someone?'' |
42209 | ''But how?'' |
42209 | ''Can you not kill him?'' |
42209 | ''Do you deem yourself an Agha''s equal?'' |
42209 | ''Do you think I was enamored of you? |
42209 | ''Does a man take a band of warriors with him, when going to a rendezvous with a woman he desires?'' |
42209 | ''How am I to crush these wolves?'' |
42209 | ''Shall we send him a messenger, bidding him climb the cliffs and await our coming?'' |
42209 | ''Well?'' |
42209 | ''What do you mean?'' |
42209 | ''What is it?'' |
42209 | ''Where is_ he_?'' |
42209 | ''Who are you?'' |
42209 | ''Why did n''t you climb the stair and make your escape in my boat?'' |
42209 | ''You said they climbed the walls last night? |
42209 | ''You would force me to play the trollop with this barbarian?'' |
42209 | But why should he select such a place for his slumbers? |
42209 | Do n''t you realize he is out of range? |
42209 | Do you dream that I would have shamed myself before an ale- guzzling, meat- gorging barbarian unless I had to? |
42209 | Had he been followed through the tunnel? |
42209 | Have you cut the heads off many Yuetshi?'' |
42209 | He told me-- he said-- am I mad? |
42209 | Is this a dream?'' |
42209 | Suppose the_ hetman_ had left his warriors near by, and that they should grow suspicious and come to investigate his long absence? |
42209 | The Hyrkanians would enslave me again, and the pirates would--''''What of the_ kozaks_?'' |
42209 | The 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? |
42209 | Then 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?'' |
42209 | What human hands could rear such a mammoth pile as now met his eyes, in the few weeks which had elapsed? |
42209 | What is your name?'' |
42209 | Who are you?'' |
42209 | Who?'' |
42209 | Will you betray us? |
42209 | what nightmare is this? |
42196 | ''And put my neck into a Turanian noose?'' |
42196 | ''And they found a cellar full of corpses?'' |
42196 | ''And what of his magic?'' |
42196 | ''And why did_ you_ want it?'' |
42196 | ''Drink?'' |
42196 | ''How could I, with only a handful of silver to begin with? |
42196 | ''If_ we_ find him?'' |
42196 | ''Well, curse your brown hide, Baal- pteor, where''s the wench you jerked through the wall?'' |
42196 | ''What do you mean by peril?'' |
42196 | ''What is it?'' |
42196 | ''What makes you think I want to spend the night scouring the streets for a lunatic?'' |
42196 | ''What the devil are you looking for?'' |
42196 | ''What were you doing out on the streets this time of night?'' |
42196 | ''Where are you going?'' |
42196 | ''Where do you want to go?'' |
42196 | ''Which proves what?'' |
42196 | ''Who can say? |
42196 | ''Who the devil are you?'' |
42196 | ''Why bother to lie?'' |
42196 | ''Why did you wish your lover to sleep?'' |
42196 | ''Why do n''t the blacks seek their prey here?'' |
42196 | ''Why do n''t the citizens clean out these black dogs?'' |
42196 | ''Why does he always carry off strangers?'' |
42196 | ''Why not enter, barbarian?'' |
42196 | ''You did not win at the gaming- tables?'' |
42196 | ''You will not fail me?'' |
42196 | ''You wish food?'' |
42196 | ''_ I_ have the Star of Khorala? |
42196 | And did I not send what you asked for, out of the love I bear you?'' |
42196 | And how could a human being possess a head like that outlined against the stars? |
42196 | Can you?'' |
42196 | Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? |
42196 | Do n''t you see I''m white, and alone? |
42196 | Do you see that door?'' |
42196 | Hours? |
42196 | How could it be opening now, save by supernatural agency? |
42196 | How could they recognize Aram Baksh in this half- naked, bloodstained figure, with the grotesquely shorn beard and unintelligible babblings? |
42196 | How did they catch you?'' |
42196 | How long can you avoid the fangs of the Poison People? |
42196 | If Aram did not sell them, after doing away with their owners, how came they here?'' |
42196 | Minutes? |
42196 | Now where do you want me to take him?'' |
42196 | The negroes seized me and brought me to this--_what was that?_''Conan had already moved. |
42196 | Well, did you not ask for it? |
42196 | What became of them? |
42196 | What''s the young reprobate''s name?'' |
42196 | Why did the beggars shun them? |
42196 | Why do you not restore his mind to him? |
42196 | Why should you seek my life?'' |
42236 | ''But Zargheba?'' |
42236 | ''Do you not fear the gods? |
42236 | ''How can a dead woman come to life after all these centuries?'' |
42236 | ''How many men with him?'' |
42236 | ''I''ll carve his liver yet-- Gorulga is a party to this swindle, of course?'' |
42236 | ''Is she alive, after all?'' |
42236 | ''Well, what then?'' |
42236 | ''What do you think the priests will do to you if they find out you''re an impostor?'' |
42236 | ''What else do you suppose I''d do with you?'' |
42236 | ''What game are you playing? |
42236 | ''What in thunder are you doing?'' |
42236 | ''What were you to say as the oracle?'' |
42236 | ''Where is Zargheba?'' |
42236 | ''Why have you followed us? |
42236 | ''Will you quit that blubbering and answer me? |
42236 | ''You mean you''re going to keep me? |
42236 | ''You-- are-- are you Yelaya?'' |
42236 | And stop crying, will you? |
42236 | Are you betraying your master, or is he betraying his friends through you? |
42236 | Could he have known about that rotten flagging? |
42236 | Could it be someone on the same mission as himself? |
42236 | Did he know I was here? |
42236 | Did not Zargheba tell you what to say? |
42236 | Did you climb the cliffs?'' |
42236 | Did you think you could fool me, you little idiot? |
42236 | Had Zargheba seen him? |
42236 | Had the priests of Keshia arrived? |
42236 | Had those rotten flags simply chanced to give way beneath his weight, or was there a more sinister explanation? |
42236 | How did you get into the valley?'' |
42236 | If so, where were they? |
42236 | Oh, Conan, what are they?'' |
42236 | Oh, what shall I do? |
42236 | Take me with you?'' |
42236 | Tell us, oh mouthpiece of the gods: what is their will concerning Thutmekri the Stygian?'' |
42236 | Then why had the door been shut above him? |
42236 | Was it Zargheba, after all, who had struck the gong? |
42236 | Was 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? |
42236 | Was the man standing on something? |
42236 | Was this the work of the priests of Keshan? |
42236 | What are you crying about now?'' |
42236 | What cryptic secret was locked in that marvelously molded form? |
42236 | What happened to you, anyway?'' |
42236 | What human could guess the motives or thoughts of these monstrosities? |
42236 | What is your pleasure?'' |
42236 | Where is he now, girl?'' |
42236 | Where should he search first, in the limited time at his disposal? |
42236 | Where the devil are you?'' |
42236 | Where''s the gem you wore in your hair?'' |
42236 | Why had the man dwelt in this desolate spot, and to what unknown destination had his servants departed after disposing of their master''s corpse? |
42236 | is 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?'' |
42254 | 5 The Children of Jhebbal Sag''Which way is the river?'' |
42254 | Balthus mulled over this delicate ethical question for a moment, then shrugged his shoulder and asked:''How far are we from the fort?'' |
42254 | But how do you know it was not a Pict with some kind of a hook that rips instead of slicing? |
42254 | Did you see it?'' |
42254 | Do you know why the Picts are not trying to burn the fort with fire- arrows? |
42254 | If we can not hold the fort, how can they hold the town? |
42254 | Mitra, how can anything move so silently?'' |
42254 | Perhaps you were there?'' |
42254 | The forest is full of leopards; why send only one after us?'' |
42254 | There are no ostriches in this forest, are there?'' |
42254 | They had covered more than a mile when Balthus said:''Does Zogar Sag catch leopard- cubs and train them for bloodhounds?'' |
42254 | What do you make of that?'' |
42254 | What new horror would come through that gate to make carrion- meat of his body? |
42254 | Which 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?'' |
42254 | Who can be sure that all the inhabitants of that black country are natural? |
42254 | Who knows what shapes earthly and unearthly may lurk beyond the dim circle of light our knowledge has cast? |
42254 | Will you take a band of men tonight and endeavour to kill or capture him? |
42254 | You''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?'' |
42188 | At last a Shemite spoke up above the clamor:''Why do you argue over a dead man?'' |
42188 | But who? |
42188 | Did they follow us?'' |
42188 | Did you have a nightmare?'' |
42188 | How long must my torment last?'' |
42188 | In what molds were they cast?'' |
42188 | Is there any humiliation, pain or degradation you have not heaped on me? |
42188 | Madman or savage, what could he do, naked, against the mailed chief of Akif? |
42188 | Must I aid my enemies? |
42188 | See how the twigs are broken? |
42188 | Shall I let you come aboard and cut out my heart?'' |
42188 | This, then, was the end of the trail-- for what human being could withstand the fury of that hairy mountain of thews and ferocity? |
42188 | To me?'' |
42188 | Was it some trick of the moonlight that touched the eyes of the black figures with fire, so that they glimmered redly in the shadows? |
42188 | What do you see?'' |
42188 | What lurks in this thicket?'' |
42188 | What might be lurking amid those nameless woodlands? |
42188 | What mysteries do you guard, Wise Devil?'' |
42188 | What says the law of the Red Brotherhood?'' |
42188 | What was that? |
42188 | What would you have, dogs?'' |
42188 | What? |
42188 | Who knows? |
42188 | Who''s your chief?'' |
42188 | Will 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. |
42227 | And do you know why they bore me forth to die?'' |
42227 | But before you begin putting me in my place-- perhaps you will tell me whose soldiers camp in the plain outside the city walls?'' |
42227 | But what of it? |
42227 | But who is that yonder?'' |
42227 | Can you wonder? |
42227 | Did you know that Krallides, your faithful councillor, had come skulking back from Turan and been captured?'' |
42227 | Do you not remember me, Valerius? |
42227 | Do you think these wolves could besiege and take a city like Khauran?'' |
42227 | Does it not grow weary of soft, city- bred flesh? |
42227 | How goes the battle?'' |
42227 | How would the people rise against the Falcon''s Shemites? |
42227 | Oh, Ishtar, why was I not slain? |
42227 | Oh, Taramis, how could you betray the people who worshipped you?'' |
42227 | We 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? |
42227 | What if Khaurani fools learn the truth? |
42227 | Why do you ask?'' |
42227 | Why do you come here?'' |
42227 | With sticks and pebbles? |
42227 | Would 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 are the seven chiefs?'' |
42259 | ''Where are they? |
42259 | ''Where are they?'' |
42259 | ''Where is Kerim Shah?'' |
42259 | ''Where is Yasmina?'' |
42259 | ''Where is the Devi?'' |
42259 | ''Where went he?'' |
42259 | ''Who are the men they pursue?'' |
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?'' |
42259 | 6 The Mountain of the Black Seers''Where now?'' |
42259 | As he hacked and smote like a man possessed, Conan had time for some chilling doubts-- would Yasmina keep her word? |
42259 | But what of you, Conan?'' |
42259 | Do the Wazulis take orders from Yar Afzal, or from a low- bred cur?'' |
42259 | Do you flinch? |
42259 | Do you suppose she was coming to aid me? |
42259 | Have n''t I offered you gold?'' |
42259 | Have you so quickly forgotten my strength, once lent to you, that you come armed against me, you poor fool? |
42259 | He beat down the din with a bull- like roar, and bellowed:''What devil''s play is this? |
42259 | How can I explain my mystic reasons to your puny intellect? |
42259 | How can you preserve your own life, much less mine?'' |
42259 | How is that?'' |
42259 | If they have slain the king now, why could they not have slain him months ago?'' |
42259 | In the meanwhile our way lies forward, does it not?'' |
42259 | Is it you, Conan?'' |
42259 | Is it you?'' |
42259 | Little fool, do you not realize that your royal pride is no more than a straw blown on the wind? |
42259 | My sister, where are you? |
42259 | That the man was a friend? |
42259 | The Turanians fought their way through the Himelians once, but how many returned to Khurusun? |
42259 | They are close behind you, you say?'' |
42259 | They say why should the Afghuli dogs profit by her, when it is the people who take the risk of guarding her?'' |
42259 | What do you think, Devi-- will they pay seven lives for a Kshatriya princess?'' |
42259 | What king has roamed the countries, fought the battles, loved the women, and won the plunder that I have? |
42259 | What the devil are they doing here?'' |
42259 | What the devil do you want?'' |
42259 | Where are you taking me?'' |
42259 | Where is the gain? |
42259 | Why did you destroy the king of Vendhya?'' |
42259 | Why fear the Black Seers? |
42259 | Why should we desire gold? |
42259 | Why will you be a slave, using your powers only to elevate others? |
42259 | Will you go with us, or stay here to be flayed by the Afghulis who are following this man?'' |
42259 | Will you sacrifice your men to your own desire?'' |
42259 | Will you slay me, to avenge them?'' |
42259 | You came with a large attendance?'' |
42259 | You have news?'' |
32759 | After we have slain them all? 32759 And now what do you intend doing?" |
32759 | And now you think you''ll drag me back to Zarallo''s camp? |
32759 | And will you help us destroy the dragons? |
32759 | Any word you want to send to your people? |
32759 | Are the doors locked? |
32759 | Are you mad, too? |
32759 | Are you telling us we''re prisoners? |
32759 | But afterward? |
32759 | But what do you intend doing? |
32759 | But what else could I do? 32759 But who built it? |
32759 | Ca n''t we get into the trees and get away, traveling like apes through the branches? |
32759 | Can we open the gate? 32759 Could n''t you have done it just as well in the throne room?" |
32759 | Did Tascela send you? |
32759 | Did you hear a lion roar? 32759 Did you think I would not guard against your possible return? |
32759 | Do n''t you know? |
32759 | Do you believe in ghosts? |
32759 | Do you fear someone will hear you? 32759 Do you think I care what happens to you? |
32759 | Do you think I''ve followed you this far, to turn around and ride off empty- handed? 32759 Down there?" |
32759 | God? 32759 Have n''t I made my admiration for you plain ever since I first saw you?" |
32759 | How could you hope to see all that, at this distance? |
32759 | How do these people live? |
32759 | How do we know these are all of them? 32759 How long do you suppose he''ll crouch there?" |
32759 | How long have you dwelt here? |
32759 | Is he running away? |
32759 | Is there anything you have n''t been? |
32759 | Olmec''s wife? |
32759 | Stick 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? |
32759 | Suppose a dragon comes out of the woods? |
32759 | Tascela? |
32759 | Then you agree? |
32759 | Then your ancestors did n''t build Xuchotl? |
32759 | They? |
32759 | Was that where you were going, when you tried to send me off alone to the coast? |
32759 | Well what? |
32759 | Well, are we going to sit here on our rumps until we starve, like that? |
32759 | Well, are you going to talk? |
32759 | Well? |
32759 | Were you a king in Kosala? |
32759 | What about those fellows who were following us? 32759 What about yourself?" |
32759 | What are you talking about? |
32759 | What are you talking about? |
32759 | What are you waiting down there for, you misbegotten offspring of questionable parents? |
32759 | What are_ you_ doing on my trail? |
32759 | What do you call yourself? 32759 What do you mean?" |
32759 | What do you say? |
32759 | What for? |
32759 | What good will that do? |
32759 | What is all this? |
32759 | What matter? |
32759 | What of the Stygian? |
32759 | What sort of a place can this be? |
32759 | What the devil are_ you_ doing on that thing? |
32759 | What the devil has that got to do with those sticks? |
32759 | What the devil is it? |
32759 | What the devil were you doing bending over me? 32759 What the devil''s going on here?" |
32759 | What the devil? |
32759 | What then, Xatmec? |
32759 | What''s that? |
32759 | What''s the matter? 32759 Where are the fine ships and the bold lads you commanded, now?" |
32759 | Where do I sleep? |
32759 | Where is that? |
32759 | Who are these people? |
32759 | Who are you? 32759 Who can say? |
32759 | Who is Tascela? |
32759 | Who spoke of fear? |
32759 | Who will go with Conan to Xotalanc? |
32759 | Who''d have thought to find a city here? 32759 Whom do you mean by''they''?" |
32759 | Why did you try to drug me? |
32759 | Why do n''t the Xotalancas come over the roofs and shatter those skylights? |
32759 | Why do n''t they open the door? |
32759 | Why do n''t we come to a street? |
32759 | Why do n''t we get out of this infernal palace, and take to the streets? |
32759 | Why do n''t you scream? |
32759 | Why wo n''t men let me live a man''s life? |
32759 | Why, what do you suppose? |
32759 | You mean to say this city is inhabited? |
32759 | You think some of your enemies may be ahead of us, lying in ambush? |
32759 | You-- you slew the dragon- god? |
32759 | Your 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. |
32759 | And have you found it at last?" |
32759 | Are you trying to tell me that she was a wife fifty years ago?" |
32759 | As for being penniless-- what rover is n''t, most of the time? |
32759 | But Conan renewed his terror by asking:"What was that thing that I fought on the stair?" |
32759 | But how came they in Tecuhltli?" |
32759 | But what peril could have befallen her? |
32759 | But why have you waited so long to strike? |
32759 | But why should Kosalans be building a city this far to west?" |
32759 | Conan?" |
32759 | Could black people build a city like that? |
32759 | Did you really follow me from Zarallo''s camp, or were you whipped forth for a rogue?" |
32759 | He halted, reluctantly, and demanded:"Do you want me to take that toy away from you and spank you with it?" |
32759 | His recent allies eyed him in amazement, and Conan asked, in the Aquilonian tongue:"Who is this madman?" |
32759 | How could the Xotalancas control such a brute?" |
32759 | If the people ran away, why should it have been bolted on the inside?" |
32759 | If you had n''t accidentally touched my face with the petals, you''d have-- why did you do it? |
32759 | Life? |
32759 | Olmec? |
32759 | Rising languidly from her seat she swept the ranks of her subjects with a searching glance, and asked:"Where are Xamec, Zlanath and Tachic?" |
32759 | Some secret weapon you knew was hidden there? |
32759 | Tascela? |
32759 | The Eyes of Tascela_"Why did you bring me into this chamber to bandage my legs?" |
32759 | Was Olmec mad, too? |
32759 | Was a Xotalanca lurking down there? |
32759 | Were all the Tecuhltli madder than he had realized? |
32759 | Were you seeking something, in the pits? |
32759 | What are you gaping about?" |
32759 | What did I tell you?" |
32759 | What do you in Xuchotl?" |
32759 | What grisly food did you find? |
32759 | What had happened to Yasala down there in the thick blackness? |
32759 | What mad travesty of life did you live, in the stark blackness of that eternal night? |
32759 | What race do they belong to?" |
32759 | What''s all this about? |
32759 | What''s that in your hand?" |
32759 | What''s your game?" |
32759 | Whence come you? |
32759 | Where did these people keep their food? |
32759 | Where did they go? |
32759 | Where would you take me?" |
32759 | Where''s Valeria?" |
32759 | Who are you? |
32759 | Who dwelt here? |
32759 | Whom do you fear? |
32759 | Why did they abandon it?" |
32759 | Why did you join Zarallo? |
32759 | Why do you ask?" |
32759 | Why not? |
32759 | Why should n''t I?" |
32759 | Will it not seem strange, to have no foes to fight? |
32759 | With the feud ended, what is left?" |
32759 | Wo n''t they try to storm that door?" |
32759 | You are professional fighters-- why not fight for us? |
33432 | ''Who comes here to disturb the royal peace?'' 33432 ''Who is I?'' |
33432 | A broken neck? |
33432 | A thousand what, Uncle Munch? |
33432 | About how tall? |
33432 | All 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?" |
33432 | And I won a hole, did n''t I? |
33432 | And did n''t the Emperor treat you well, Uncle Munch? |
33432 | And did n''t you ever see him again, Baron? |
33432 | And did the robbers ever get down? |
33432 | And may I ask your name? |
33432 | And still you got him on deck? |
33432 | And were n''t you ever punished? |
33432 | And what did you do with the moose''s antlers? |
33432 | Are you interested in giraffes? |
33432 | Bub,said she, in a whisper,"do you think that was a true story?" |
33432 | But were n''t you sea- sick? |
33432 | But what became of the ivory? |
33432 | But what became of the plough, Uncle Munch? |
33432 | But what do they feed upon? |
33432 | But, you know, do n''t you? |
33432 | Could he talk? |
33432 | Could n''t the fireman stop the engine? |
33432 | Did n''t he see through it when he saw you put the army in your pocket? |
33432 | Did n''t you and she make your last hole on a single stroke? |
33432 | Did you see him do it, Uncle Munch? |
33432 | Do I wish I had? 33432 Do n''t you wish_ you_ had two youngsters like us, Uncle Munch?" |
33432 | Do they hunt men in India?? |
33432 | Do they hunt men in India?? |
33432 | Do they really relish them? |
33432 | Do you suppose that''s true, Diavolo? |
33432 | Does all heroes get killed? |
33432 | Function-- duty-- what does the duty of a bear- shooer consist in? |
33432 | Hello there, who wants 91162 Nepperhan? |
33432 | How about the royalties on this book? |
33432 | How did you lose Jang, Baron? |
33432 | How the deuce do you make that out? 33432 How was that?" |
33432 | I do n''t think we ever heard of that, did we? |
33432 | I know it was mean, but what could I do? |
33432 | I mean for horse- back riding, which would you rather have? |
33432 | I should n''t think he''d live long if he does n''t eat? |
33432 | I wonder where he can be? |
33432 | In Hades? |
33432 | Is he a blacksmith who shoes bears instead of horses? |
33432 | Is that you? |
33432 | Kept me? 33432 No post- office? |
33432 | Oh, did n''t you? |
33432 | Pebbles? |
33432 | Pretty good catch for an afternoon, eh? |
33432 | Pretty hot for literary work, is n''t it? |
33432 | Saved your life, eh? |
33432 | Seven? |
33432 | Stenographer ready? |
33432 | That is rather curious, is n''t it? |
33432 | That you, Baron? |
33432 | That''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?" |
33432 | Theology? |
33432 | Those are real candy names, are n''t they? |
33432 | True? 33432 True?" |
33432 | Two? 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?" |
33432 | Was you in it for long? |
33432 | Well, how about the missionaries? |
33432 | Well,returned the Baron, thoughtfully, as if calculating,"did you ever see the Eiffel Tower?" |
33432 | Well,said Mr. Munchausen,"you''re here again, are you?" |
33432 | Well? |
33432 | Were you killed by a shark? |
33432 | Were you up in the air for three whole months? |
33432 | What became of the June- bug? |
33432 | What country would it have been, Mr. Munchausen,asked Sapphira innocently,"Germany or Siam?" |
33432 | What did Bonaparte say? |
33432 | What did they live on? |
33432 | What did you do for hazards? |
33432 | What did you do? |
33432 | What do you say to that, Sapphira? |
33432 | What does your venerable Dad say about it? |
33432 | What good are they? |
33432 | What is a Gillyhooly bird, anyhow? |
33432 | What kept you, Uncle Munch? |
33432 | What kept you? |
33432 | What kind of a snake did you say he was? |
33432 | What useful what? |
33432 | What was it, Uncle Munch? |
33432 | What was the nature of the letters? |
33432 | What was the other boa doing while you were saving Wriggletto? |
33432 | What what? |
33432 | What''s cannon- ballism? |
33432 | What''s snakes good for except to kill? 33432 What''s the nature of your story?" |
33432 | What''s what, Uncle Munch? |
33432 | What, do they lay Roc''s eggs? |
33432 | What? 33432 What?" |
33432 | What? |
33432 | Where is Wriggletto now? |
33432 | Where the dickens did they come from? |
33432 | Where? |
33432 | Which would you rather do, Angelica,Mr. Munchausen resumed,"go to sea in a balloon or attend a dumb- crambo party in a chicken- coop?" |
33432 | Who was Jang? |
33432 | Who was Wriggletto? |
33432 | Who was he? |
33432 | Why ca n''t we have both stories? |
33432 | Why did n''t you come down? |
33432 | Would you like to lie down and take a rest? |
33432 | You do n''t mean to say that I have never told you about Wriggletto, my pet boa- constrictor, do you? |
33432 | You gave up a hole, did n''t you? |
33432 | You 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?'' |
33432 | Beelzy bowed in response to the compliment and observed to the Baron:"You ai n''t here yourself this season, be ye?" |
33432 | Can you not see that it is raining cats and dogs without?" |
33432 | Does the number include being struck by lightning?" |
33432 | Have you got any plumbing in the camp? |
33432 | How did the engine come to run away?" |
33432 | How has this wrong upon the worthy realist of the eighteenth century been perpetrated? |
33432 | How''s that for an offer?" |
33432 | I cried,"Who in thunder do you suppose wants to play golf on a day like this?" |
33432 | I do n''t know whether I ever told you about my first experience with the cannibals-- did I?" |
33432 | I never told you of the bovine lie I got once while playing a match with Bonaparte, did I?" |
33432 | I''m glad they were disappointed, are n''t you?" |
33432 | If you were fast asleep while all this was happening how did you know that Jang did those things?" |
33432 | Is it a Henry James dandy, or does it bear the mark of Caine? |
33432 | Is it an intentional or an unwitting wrong? |
33432 | Is it realism or fiction?" |
33432 | May I inquire what useful function in the ménage of a hotel a bear- shooer performs?" |
33432 | Munchausen?" |
33432 | Munchausen?" |
33432 | Munchausen?" |
33432 | Rather neat idea, eh? |
33432 | Really?" |
33432 | So I answered,''Who is I, O Mtulu, Bravest of the Taafe Chiefs? |
33432 | Suppose 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? |
33432 | The Baron?" |
33432 | The Twins were silent for a few moments and then they asked:"Well, Uncle Munch, what kind of fire- works are safe anyhow?" |
33432 | The question arises,_ why_ is this? |
33432 | Then one of them asked:"But what did you live on all that time, Uncle Munch?" |
33432 | They 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?" |
33432 | Torpeters are n''t any harm, are they, Uncle Munch?" |
33432 | V THE STORY OF JANG"Did you ever own a dog, Baron Munchausen?" |
33432 | We went to see whence it came, and what do you suppose we saw? |
33432 | What can I do for you?" |
33432 | What do you say?" |
33432 | What is its precise charm in your eyes,--the health- giving qualities of the game or its capacity for bad lies?" |
33432 | What''s your number? |
33432 | Where in Hades are you?" |
33432 | Why do you know what happened to me when I was a boy?" |
33432 | Why, am I late?" |
33432 | Would you believe it, I found that my last bullet was the one with which I had saved the balloon from the Prussian shot?" |
33432 | You''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?" |
33432 | asked the Twins,"was n''t the elevator running?" |
23678 | About something else? |
23678 | All night? |
23678 | An''are ye goin''away now, Mister Paul? |
23678 | An''is that you, Mister Paul? |
23678 | An''what brought ye out o''your bed before breakfast like this? |
23678 | And how did you know that? |
23678 | And if the man who confesses is not the man who did it, who is? |
23678 | And that was why the ghost no longer opposed the match? |
23678 | And what happened afterwards? |
23678 | And what is this that we are coming to? |
23678 | And what manner of people are they who dare to live here? |
23678 | And what was the phoenix like? |
23678 | And when did I have Danny in the office? |
23678 | And when did you get in? |
23678 | And where does the road through the forest lead, that you so much wish to set forth upon it? |
23678 | And why did the ghost go away? |
23678 | And you open it in the morning? |
23678 | Any passengers? |
23678 | Are there not many poets among the inhabitants of Altruria? |
23678 | Are you not Captain Vanderdecken? |
23678 | But he kept his title? |
23678 | But how could he open the safe? |
23678 | But what are these alluring adventures of yours that stretched through the ages and across the continents? |
23678 | But why talk of those who are dead and gone and are happy? |
23678 | But yesterday morning? |
23678 | By the ghost of one of the witches, of course? |
23678 | Ca n''t I carry yer bag for ye, Mister Paul? |
23678 | Captain Nemo? |
23678 | Did he succeed in driving the ghosts away? |
23678 | Did he succeed? 23678 Did n''t I ever tell you about them?" |
23678 | Did the ghost leave Scotland for America as soon as the old baron died? |
23678 | Did you know the lady herself? |
23678 | Did you recognize him? |
23678 | Did you recognize the strange scenes shown to you by these two instruments? |
23678 | Do I understand you to intimate that both ghosts were there together? |
23678 | Do n''t you? |
23678 | Do n''t you? |
23678 | Do you mean that the Major is n''t guilty? |
23678 | Do you mean to say that the Tuxedo people have somehow been made acquainted with our bids? |
23678 | Do you see that these windows are always fastened on the inside? |
23678 | Do you see those peaks afar in the distance? |
23678 | Does Mr. Wheatcroft wish to see me? |
23678 | Harpies? |
23678 | Has n''t the Major come down yet? |
23678 | Have I ever been a samurai in my subconsciousness? |
23678 | Have n''t I? |
23678 | Have you been out for your lunch yet? |
23678 | How could a ghost, or even two ghosts, keep a girl from marrying the man she loved? |
23678 | How could he get into the store? |
23678 | How could he? 23678 How did I know?" |
23678 | How did he come over,queried Dear Jones--"in the steerage, or as a cabin passenger?" |
23678 | How did he know they were swearing? 23678 How did you know?" |
23678 | How 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''?" |
23678 | How, then, should I buy it? |
23678 | I encourage him? |
23678 | I 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? |
23678 | I''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?" |
23678 | If I understand you, Mr. Wheatcroft,Paul Whittier asked,"you are suggesting that there has been something done that is not fair?" |
23678 | If you can recollect the''Shah- Nameh,''Stuyvesant pursued,"no doubt you can recall also Beaumont and Fletcher''s''Custom of the Country?'' |
23678 | In 1796? |
23678 | In the clock? |
23678 | In what year? |
23678 | Is she there still? |
23678 | It is a beautiful specimen of weaving, is n''t it? 23678 It is n''t dinner- time, is it?" |
23678 | It seems curious, does n''t it? |
23678 | Luckily? |
23678 | Major,he said, with compassion in his voice,"you wo n''t tell me that it was you who sold our secrets to our rivals? |
23678 | May I see what it is that''s so very strange? |
23678 | Mike,he said, pausing on the door- step,"do you think you ought to smoke while you are cleaning out our office in the morning?" |
23678 | My mystery? |
23678 | My subconsciousness? |
23678 | Not a single word of truth in it? |
23678 | Not true? |
23678 | Now 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?" |
23678 | Oh, that''s how you knew, is it? |
23678 | On the North Sea? |
23678 | Perhaps he kept his countenance veiled? |
23678 | Picked up here and there-- like your bric- à- brac? |
23678 | Possible? |
23678 | Profitless? |
23678 | Sailing east or west? |
23678 | She accepted him, of course? |
23678 | Sixteen years without a birthday? 23678 So you know me?" |
23678 | So, besides being the owner of a haunted house in Salem, he was also a haunted man in Scotland? |
23678 | Spooks? |
23678 | That is your last word? |
23678 | That? |
23678 | The 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?" |
23678 | The phoenix? |
23678 | Then how came it that the father and son were lost in the yacht off the Hebrides? |
23678 | Then how do you come to know anything about it? 23678 Then where was the photographer hidden?" |
23678 | There have n''t been two men at our books, have there? |
23678 | There''s no use talking about these things, is there? |
23678 | These, then, are the Happy Hunting- Grounds? |
23678 | This a real grandmother you are talking about,asked the journalist,"and not a fairy godmother?" |
23678 | Was it the guardian- angel ghost warning him off the match? |
23678 | Was not Rustem a Persian Hercules, so to speak? |
23678 | We all suspected this, as you know,the elder Whittier said;"have you anything new to add to it now?" |
23678 | Well, Paul,said the father,"have I got down here before you after all, and in spite of your running away last night?" |
23678 | Well, Wheatcroft,Mr. Whittier said,"what is all this mystery of yours now?" |
23678 | Well, what of that? |
23678 | Well,he said, holding out his hand,"and how are you after your nap?" |
23678 | Were you concealed here yourself? |
23678 | Were you lookin''through the window? |
23678 | Were you peekin''in thro''the winder, Mister Paul? |
23678 | What did he do? |
23678 | What did he do? |
23678 | What do you mean? |
23678 | What good was it that ye got out o''bed before breakfast and come down here so early in the mornin''? |
23678 | What has all this got to do with your ghost? |
23678 | What kind of a mistake? |
23678 | What morning was it? |
23678 | What of it? |
23678 | What was he like? |
23678 | What was it, Uncle Larry? |
23678 | What was the date when they left Russia? |
23678 | What was the merry jest? |
23678 | What''s strange? |
23678 | What''s that you say? |
23678 | What? |
23678 | When does Bob get down here? |
23678 | When he does come, tell him I want to see him at once-- at once, do you understand? |
23678 | Where Rasselas lived? |
23678 | Where are you bound? |
23678 | Where bound? |
23678 | Where did they get the banjo? |
23678 | Where do you hail from? |
23678 | Whittier, Wheatcroft& Co.? |
23678 | Who is he? |
23678 | Who makes up the bids on these important contracts? |
23678 | Who was here Sunday? |
23678 | Who was she? |
23678 | Who were they? |
23678 | Who would chase a tame goat? |
23678 | Who writes the letters making the offer-- the one with actual figures I mean? |
23678 | Who-- who is it? |
23678 | Why did the Japanese ambassador sell you his dream- gown in a Nuremberg curiosity- shop? |
23678 | Why not the sea- serpent also? |
23678 | Why not? |
23678 | Would I get up if I had n''t got to get up to get my livin''? |
23678 | Ye was late in comin''down yesterday, was n''t ye? |
23678 | Yes,Paul explained;"yesterday morning you let him light his cigarette from your pipe-- didn''t you?" |
23678 | Yesterday mornin''? |
23678 | You are not Time himself? |
23678 | You do n''t dictate them to a typewriter? |
23678 | You do n''t mean to say that they knew any just cause or impediment why they should not forever after hold their peace? |
23678 | You do n''t mean to tell me that the ghost which haunted the house was a woman? |
23678 | You have seen the phoenix? |
23678 | You have seen what two of my instruments contain; would you like now to examine the contents of the other two? |
23678 | You sleep here always, do n''t you? |
23678 | You wo n''t have the cheek to declare that you do n''t remember the''Legend of Sleepy Hollow,''will you? |
23678 | You 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?" |
23678 | You, too? |
23678 | Your little bird has two legs, has n''t it? |
23678 | An''if he was n''t here, how could he see me givin''ye a light from me pipe? |
23678 | And do you know Rip Van Winkle?" |
23678 | And how could this knowledge have been obtained except by an employee? |
23678 | And 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? |
23678 | And why should you think so? |
23678 | Are you sure there is such a fellow?" |
23678 | As the messenger drew near, a red- headed office- boy blocked the passage, saying, somewhat aggressively,"Well?" |
23678 | But how about my Persian dragon and my Iberian noblewoman?" |
23678 | Could he hear them?" |
23678 | Did n''t it?" |
23678 | Do I look so very old, then?" |
23678 | Do you mind my using it?" |
23678 | Do you see that grove of trees there at the base of the mountains?" |
23678 | Do you think somebody else is the Tuxedo Company again?" |
23678 | Do you understand?" |
23678 | Do you understand?" |
23678 | Have I a forelock? |
23678 | Have I a scythe? |
23678 | Have I an hour- glass? |
23678 | He demanded, in stammering accents,"Who are you?" |
23678 | How did she lose the one she was entitled to in 1808? |
23678 | I recognize them, of course----""You recognize them?" |
23678 | Is n''t that a very large order?" |
23678 | Is that what you mean?" |
23678 | Paul, may I trouble you to see that the door is closed so that we are out of hearing?" |
23678 | Paul?" |
23678 | She was n''t on a Russian ship again, was she?" |
23678 | Stepping back to close the glass door behind him, that they might be alone, he said:"Mike, who shuts up the office at night?" |
23678 | That is n''t accident, is it? |
23678 | The faithful horse''s name was Rakush, was n''t it?" |
23678 | The first is----""Persian, is n''t it?" |
23678 | The real culprit, the man who is photographed here, is your son, is n''t he? |
23678 | Then he made a final appeal:"Would you not wish to know even the matter of your end?" |
23678 | There was a moment''s silence, broken by Wheatcroft suddenly saying:"The Major''s son? |
23678 | This bit here was probably meant to suggest''the well where the head was washed,''--see?" |
23678 | Those who attain to its borders never come back again-- and why should they leave it? |
23678 | We''ve lost a contract, I suppose; but that must have happened lots of times before, has n''t it?" |
23678 | Well, well, but you have heard of Rip? |
23678 | Were 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?" |
23678 | What if it were the assassin of her son? |
23678 | What would you say, if I declared that I had gazed on the dances of Salome and of Esmeralda? |
23678 | Wheatcroft?" |
23678 | Wheatcroft?" |
23678 | Why, he''s dead, is n''t he? |
23678 | You have heard of scrying, I suppose?" |
23678 | You have read the''Shah- Nameh?''" |
23678 | You know the story?" |
23678 | You never heard of anybody who was burned having a ghost, did you?" |
23678 | and then he looked up at Cosmo Waynflete and asked:"What are those buttons? |
23678 | asked Mr. Wheatcroft--"the Major, and also the fellow who has been photographed?" |
23678 | he cried, suddenly;"where was she living in 1804?" |
23678 | that I had beheld the combat of Achilles and Hector and the mounted fight of Saladin and the Knight of the Leopard?" |
23678 | was 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. |
42243 | 4''From What Hell Have You Crawled?'' |
42243 | Am I such a fool that I''m not aware that this fine mansion was built on my sweat and blood? |
42243 | And suppose the Gundermen come up while the hosts are locked in battle? |
42243 | And where did you get them so cheaply, while other merchants were paying their weight in silver to the Stygians for them? |
42243 | And where would a priest of Set carry it but to Stygia? |
42243 | Are Amalric, Tarascus and Valerius all but puppets dancing on your string? |
42243 | Are there any further orders?'' |
42243 | Are you Xaltotun?'' |
42243 | Are you only a craftily trained feathered creature, or some devil in the form of a bird? |
42243 | Because some obscure elemental principle prevented the flood do you deem me helpless? |
42243 | Besides, who would not sell his miserable soul for a throne?'' |
42243 | But are you mad to come, a stranger and a foreigner, to the forbidden temple of Set?'' |
42243 | But do you realize the futility of sacrificing your subjects in a vain attempt to regain your crown?'' |
42243 | But his eyes flamed with exultant savagery and he panted:''Why do you stand afar off, dog of Belverus? |
42243 | But how shall we steal it? |
42243 | But what are you doing here? |
42243 | But what could we do? |
42243 | But what is this? |
42243 | But what means this glimpse of Zamorian thieves sneaking through a subterranean temple of Set, in Stygia? |
42243 | But what now?'' |
42243 | But what of the riddle you would read me this morn?'' |
42243 | But what of you? |
42243 | But what, in Crom''s name, is this notable Heart?'' |
42243 | But who am I to say? |
42243 | Can it be that the power to conquer Xaltotun lurks in that crimson bauble?'' |
42243 | Can you do nothing but wag your idiotic heads when I speak of ousting these dogs?'' |
42243 | Can you rely upon them for the winning back of your kingdom?'' |
42243 | Could he not, indeed, carve out another kingdom for himself? |
42243 | Crom''s devils, do n''t you see we''ve drifted inshore during the fight? |
42243 | Did Xaltotun set you on my trail? |
42243 | Did any of you recognize the man?'' |
42243 | Do you doubt what I have said?'' |
42243 | Do you see? |
42243 | Do you see? |
42243 | Do you think we can sail into the harbor and take the city by storm? |
42243 | Do you think-- are you sure-- do you believe such rains will fall?'' |
42243 | Do you want to run aground and be retaken by the Argosseans? |
42243 | Has he sent you here to mock me?'' |
42243 | How could he know that this terrible figure out of the past was leading him to freedom? |
42243 | How could the priests of Set know that the Heart had come southward? |
42243 | How far is Conan from Tanasul?'' |
42243 | How is it that a priest of Mitra knows of the Heart of Ahriman, and the incantations of Skelos?'' |
42243 | How many cargoes from my galleys passed through your shop?'' |
42243 | How many men can you spare me?'' |
42243 | How, boy, do they flee?'' |
42243 | If 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?'' |
42243 | Is death worse than oppression, slavery and ultimate destruction?'' |
42243 | Is the long agony ended? |
42243 | Living? |
42243 | Suppose the river came down in such flood as to render the crossing at Tanasul impassable? |
42243 | Tarascus?'' |
42243 | Tell me but this: has a galley, a black racing- galley returning from Argos, put into Khemi within the last few days?'' |
42243 | The Heart of Ahriman-- I dreamed I had found it again-- where is it?'' |
42243 | The Heart stolen from Xaltotun?'' |
42243 | There was no one to lead us----''''Was there not Count Trocero of Poitain?'' |
42243 | Was that child of the night guiding armed men on your trail?'' |
42243 | Was 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? |
42243 | Were the gods smiting blindly, like swordsmen in a fog? |
42243 | What ails the men of Aquilonia? |
42243 | What are fifty thousand Nemedians? |
42243 | What are your demands?'' |
42243 | What devil''s work is this?'' |
42243 | What deviltry is your master up to now? |
42243 | What hand could grip so hard as to leave its print on that thick wrist? |
42243 | What has he to do with this?'' |
42243 | What if I told you I might set you back on the throne of Aquilonia?'' |
42243 | What if the Nemedians have taken Tarantia? |
42243 | What if the governor should learn of our past connections with him?'' |
42243 | What is that?'' |
42243 | What is the year?'' |
42243 | What of the wizard?'' |
42243 | What of this stranger who men say gives counsel to Tarascus?'' |
42243 | What ransom for my body?'' |
42243 | What''s the shortest way out of this?'' |
42243 | Where is Conan?'' |
42243 | Where''s Lord Valbroso?'' |
42243 | Where''s Thutothmes?'' |
42243 | Who am I to know the minds of the priests of Set? |
42243 | Who are you?'' |
42243 | Who are you?'' |
42243 | Who is this veiled man who communes at midnight with Valerius and his allies, as men say, who appears and disappears so mysteriously? |
42243 | Who shall stand before us? |
42243 | Whom shall I announce?'' |
42243 | Why are you so urgent upon that point? |
42243 | Why could they not trust Prospero? |
42243 | Why did it cease when he died?'' |
42243 | Why did you grow wealthy so much quicker than your competitors? |
42243 | Why not? |
42243 | Why should I bring you up out of the pits to betray you now?'' |
42243 | Why should he not seek forgetfulness, lose himself in the red tides of war and rapine that had engulfed him so often before? |
42243 | Why should he put us on our guard with his boasting? |
42243 | Why should it not be himself? |
42243 | Would a dog like him sacrifice himself? |
42243 | Would you look into the past for a clue of the present?'' |
42243 | Yet what creature but man breaks bones for their marrow? |
42243 | You do not know me, do you, what of this scar your hangman burned upon me? |
42243 | You know where it is?'' |
42243 | You rowed in chains for the Argossean dogs: will you row as free men for Amra?'' |
42243 | You said I would not sacrifice myself to trap you? |
42243 | You saw the ruins of Emilius Scavonus''plantation?'' |
42243 | You understand me?'' |
42243 | _ Amra!_''''Who else?'' |
42243 | _ Mitra, what is this?_''He staggered as the walls of the tent swayed drunkenly. |
42243 | _ Who am I?_''And from the waist rose a shout that swelled to a mighty roar:''Amra! |
42243 | shrilled a woman, pointing eastward, and another bawled:''Who is this rogue?'' |
