50575 | And if Rome, the Mistress of the World, was so ill- provided, what must have been the condition of other places? |
50575 | But if fire can not be entirely prevented, could not some method be devised of automatically quenching the flames directly they break forth? |
50575 | But probably a novice would ask,"Where is the boiler? |

21695 | ''Ow much d''you think''e''ll get, Bloater? |
21695 | Ah, Joe,--that you? |
21695 | Ah, why indeed? |
21695 | An''she''ll not take no denial, wo n''t she? |
21695 | And w''ere abouts may she live? |
21695 | Bin much doin'', Bob? |
21695 | But how could the burning of his goods put him all right? |
21695 | But how do they mean to go about it? |
21695 | But tell me, Joe, how has the operation succeeded? |
21695 | But what if he was too strong for you? |
21695 | But what_ is_ this new plan? |
21695 | But, tell me, what did Mrs Dashwood want with you? |
21695 | By the way, have you heard of that new method of putting out fires that somebody has invented? |
21695 | Come in, Mr Sparks, you''ve heard of your poor brother- in- law''s accident, I suppose? |
21695 | Did you get your tasks well to- day, Fred? |
21695 | Did you not hear? 21695 Did your conscience tell you that?" |
21695 | Did''e ask you to let''i m''ide''ere? |
21695 | Did_ you_ do that? |
21695 | Do n''t I know''is name-- at least part of it; an''the''abitation of''is wife, or sweet-''eart, or sister, or suthin''o''that sort? |
21695 | Do n''t you remember, Joe, how perseveringly we followed you in former days when_ I_ was the Bloater and_ he_ was Little Jim? |
21695 | Hallo, Jim, wot''s up? |
21695 | Have a glass, Joe? |
21695 | Have you got anything to do yet? |
21695 | Have you? |
21695 | How do you know that? |
21695 | I say, that''s drawin''it rather fine, ai n''t it? |
21695 | If I do n''t suit you, why did you marry me? |
21695 | It''s''ard work to''ave to go playin''at fires doorin''the day, an''puttin''of''em out doorin''the night, Joe; ai n''t it? |
21695 | No? 21695 No?" |
21695 | Not dead? |
21695 | Now ai n''t it wexin''? |
21695 | Now then, Gunpowder, come on; wot do you mean by it-- eh? 21695 Number 6, I believe; but why are you so particular in your inquiries about her?" |
21695 | Oh, Phil, how are you? |
21695 | Oh, you are anxious to see the bobbies, are you? 21695 So, you wo n''t tell me before you go, what sort of employment you''ve got?" |
21695 | Take a good look at him, Jeff; you''ll know him again? |
21695 | The number? |
21695 | Therefore,said the Bloater, with emphasis,"you and I shall''ave to keep our heyes on''i m, sha n''t we?" |
21695 | W''y not, Molly? 21695 W''y not, Molly?" |
21695 | W''y,''ow should''ee know hanythink about streets? 21695 Was that a good reason for neglecting your dooty?" |
21695 | Well, Bob, what''s the news? 21695 Well, Jim,"asked the strapping youth, as he gazed pensively on this prospect,"what d''you think of it?" |
21695 | Well, that bein''''ow it is, we han''t let''i m off just yet, d''ye see? 21695 What do you refer to, Bob-- our view or the wedding?" |
21695 | What''ll never be? |
21695 | What''s Joe wanted for? |
21695 | What''s the lady''s name, Martha? |
21695 | Where away? |
21695 | Whereabouts is it? |
21695 | Who''s Martha? |
21695 | Who''s let''i m off, stoopid? |
21695 | Why not, Phil? |
21695 | Why not, Phil? |
21695 | Will you not consent to give up a thorough scoundrel, who every one condemns? |
21695 | Women are tryin''hard, I believe, to get the right to vote for members; w''y not go the whole hog and vote themselves in? |
21695 | Wot_ is_ to be done? |
21695 | Would you shelter a_ guilty_ man? |
21695 | You do n''t mean to say, Mag, that he''s a- goin''to-- to-- knock under? |
21695 | You''ll come and have a cup of tea, Phil? 21695 You''re sure it was Sparks, are you?" |
21695 | Ai n''t it funny?" |
21695 | And what of the loss? |
21695 | Are you ready?" |
21695 | As Mrs Crashington replied only by sobbing, he continued, after a few minutes--"Does the doctor say it''s all up, Mag?" |
21695 | At the conclusion of a remark, he looked up in Mrs Dashwood''s puzzled face, and said,"That''s''ow it is, d''ye see?" |
21695 | Bob, what''s up?" |
21695 | But ought they to be asked to sacrifice so much? |
21695 | But, I say, Bloater, d''ye think it was right to let''i m off like that?" |
21695 | By the way, Joe,"continued Bob,"has Sparks been took yet?" |
21695 | Do n''t it, Phil?" |
21695 | He opened his eyes, and whispered with difficulty,"Forgive you, Maggie? |
21695 | I ask you, ai n''t it right to''and a guilty man over to justice?" |
21695 | In the first place, my friend and patron--""That''s the old gentleman with the ruddy face and the bald head?" |
21695 | Now, Mr Sparks,_ alias_ Blazes, no doubt_ you''re_ a precious specimen of hinnocent''unmanity, ai n''t you?" |
21695 | Only think-- what would be said to me if I was called to a fire, and did n''t go because I wanted to play with May Dashwood?" |
21695 | Surely you would not have me stand by and look on, while he insulted you and knocked down the boy?" |
21695 | That''s one way in which fires are raised,--ain''t it Joe?" |
21695 | Then, turning to Mrs Dashwood,"What sort of operation is it they''re goin''to perform on Ned?" |
21695 | They''ll have engines of course, I suppose?" |
21695 | Thus admonished, Mr Sparks asked in a hoarse whisper,"what was up?" |
21695 | Try to make out wot they''re up to and then--""Then wot?" |
21695 | Useful things matches, not only for lightin''a feller''s pipe with, but also for-- well; so she_ must_ have it by to- morrow afternoon, must she?" |
21695 | W''y wot more would you''ave, Ned? |
21695 | Well, wot I want to know is, does Martha think as you does?" |
21695 | What are you thinking of?" |
21695 | Who let you out o''the cruet- stand? |
21695 | Wot then? |
21695 | Wotever do you do it for?" |
21695 | You ai n''t a coward, air you? |
21695 | You could n''t lend me half- a- crown, could you?" |
21695 | You do n''t seem to like that? |
21695 | You never heard me preach, did you?" |
21695 | You wo n''t forget?" |
21695 | You wo n''t forget?" |
21695 | You''ve heard o''that proverb, no doubt?" |
21695 | are you going to jilt me?" |
21695 | exclaimed Maggie, unable to repress her grief,"can you-- can you ever forgive me?" |
21695 | exclaimed Sparks,"take blood out o''your husband and put it hot and livin''into Ned? |
21695 | exclaimed the Bloater, smiting his knee with his fist,"you ca n''t_ feel_!--what have_ feelings_ to do with knowledge? |
21695 | have you found a fire in_ this_ cupboard, as well as in the one o''the old house?" |
21695 | repeated Ned in surprise;"why not?" |
21695 | run you down at last, have we?" |
21695 | what?" |
21695 | you''re reasonable now, are you? |
26875 | And meantime no one can use it? |
26875 | And where anyone who wanted to could keep tabs on him pretty well, eh? 26875 And you''re going to let us look out for them?" |
26875 | Are n''t you afraid the fire may spread this way? |
26875 | But where''s Tom Binns? |
26875 | Coming, Pete and Chris? |
26875 | Could you smell it as far as this? |
26875 | Do many trains pass here that do n''t stop? |
26875 | Do n''t the fires start other ways, too? |
26875 | Do n''t you think I can see through your game, eh? |
26875 | Do you really think they did that? |
26875 | Do you remember the night we got to the lake, and Jim Burroughs and Miss Benton were lost in the woods? |
26875 | Do you think they''ll try to put the place on the bum, sir? |
26875 | Does n''t anyone live in it? |
26875 | Gee, Dick,said Pete,"that makes us like a couple of sure enough detectives, do n''t it?" |
26875 | Gee, Jack, I wonder if we''ll ever get to be Patrol Leaders and Scout- Masters? |
26875 | Gee, Jack,he said,"who''d ever guess that a sweet girl like that would have such an old curmudgeon of a father? |
26875 | Gee,said Pete,"I thought that fire we helped to stop near the city was big enough, but this beats it all hollow, does n''t it, Jack?" |
26875 | Gosh, but they do n''t look like the crowd that we see coming to work every morning, do they, Jack? 26875 Have n''t you got a gun, Hank?" |
26875 | He is n''t a Scout, is he? |
26875 | Hey, Carrots,he cried,"ai n''t you afraid of settin''yourself on fire?" |
26875 | Hey, Tom,said one of the men, gruffly, looking at his watch,"got them tied? |
26875 | How about the others? |
26875 | How about when a fire just starts? 26875 How can we do that, Jack?" |
26875 | How do those fires in the woods start, Jack? |
26875 | How far away is the fire, Jim? |
26875 | How will we know when we''ve gone seven miles? |
26875 | How''s your arm, Jack? |
26875 | How, Dick? 26875 I never said you did, did I?" |
26875 | I wonder how that new pitcher the Raccoons have will do? |
26875 | I wonder if that young whelp''s shammin'', or if we really knocked him out with the dope? |
26875 | I wonder if there were only three of them? |
26875 | In the big house in the woods there, you mean? |
26875 | Is n''t there any way to prevent that? |
26875 | Is that so, Pete? |
26875 | Is there any danger of the fire coming this way, Jim? |
26875 | Is there anyone we know in the pictures, Captain? |
26875 | Is there no duplicate? |
26875 | It''s been a mighty dry summer, has n''t it, Jack? |
26875 | It''s lucky for these farmers that Mr. Durland knows a fire when he sees it, is n''t it, Jack? 26875 It''s you, is it, you young whelp?" |
26875 | Let''s do it, Jack, shall we? |
26875 | Looks bad, does n''t it? |
26875 | Molly, who are these people? |
26875 | Money? 26875 Mr. Durland says have you warned men working in the fields?" |
26875 | Risk? 26875 Say, Jack, if fellows make that hike alone, who''s going to tell whether they really did it or not? |
26875 | Say, would n''t it be fine to live in a place where you can go swimming all the year round, like Florida, or California, or some place like that? |
26875 | She''s all right, is n''t she, Jack? 26875 Shovels, is it? |
26875 | Sleepy, Pete? |
26875 | Sure the tie will throw her off the rails? |
26875 | Tain''t no consarn of your''n, be it? |
26875 | That is n''t a storm, is it, coming along? |
26875 | That''s pretty dangerous, is n''t it? |
26875 | The one they say is haunted? |
26875 | Then why should they have told her they could find me, if it really is I she''s looking for? |
26875 | They ca n''t see us if we keep in the shadow, can they, Jack? |
26875 | They have a fire patrol in some places, do n''t they? |
26875 | They''ll be expecting us up at the Bentons, wo n''t they, Jack? |
26875 | They''ll grow again, wo n''t they, Jack? |
26875 | Think you can learn me my business? |
26875 | This is almost as good as being in the militia, is n''t it, Jack? |
26875 | Tom Binns and Pete Stubbs are devoted to him, are n''t they, Dick? |
26875 | Want any help, Jack? |
26875 | Watching us, Pete? 26875 Well, what do you want? |
26875 | What do you mean, Captain? |
26875 | What have you done with him? 26875 What next?" |
26875 | What of it, Tom? 26875 What will we do with these shovels when we get them?" |
26875 | What would happen if you did n''t? |
26875 | What would you advise, Jack? |
26875 | What''s he trying to do now? |
26875 | What''s it like over there, Jack? |
26875 | What''s the matter with Hudson? 26875 What''s the next station below this?" |
26875 | What''s the time, Bo? |
26875 | What''s the trouble here? |
26875 | What''s wrong, Pete? |
26875 | Where are you, honey? |
26875 | Where shall we go, Jack? |
26875 | Where''s Silas? |
26875 | Who gave you leave to dig your ditch here? |
26875 | Whose land is this, Jack? |
26875 | Why do they call that Bald Mountain, I wonder? |
26875 | Why does n''t Hudson answer? |
26875 | Why not, Tom? 26875 Why, how could a ghost hurt you, Tom? |
26875 | You did n''t strain it yesterday, did you, digging that ditch? |
26875 | You mean I might be the one they were looking for, Dick? |
26875 | You mean they might make an attempt at a rescue? |
26875 | You remember Jim, the fellow that is engaged to Miss Benton, up at Eagle Lake? |
26875 | You talk to all of them, I guess, do n''t you? |
26875 | You think that Scout Danby is entitled to his badge, then? |
26875 | Your friends have n''t gone off without their clothes? |
26875 | Ai n''t everythin''we do risky? |
26875 | Ai n''t those his clothes there?" |
26875 | And a fine chance we''d have of ever seeing them ag''in if we let you have them, would n''t we? |
26875 | And why does this fellow Broom, if that is really his name, have to hear this? |
26875 | And you did n''t think I''d leave you alone here, or to go home alone, did you? |
26875 | Be ready to slam it shut as soon as you hear me coming, will you?" |
26875 | But wo n''t you come to see us, and perhaps you will be able to help us in our search?" |
26875 | CHAPTER VI THE ATTACK ON THE STATION"What time does the Thunderbolt go through?" |
26875 | Ca n''t you see that we''ve saved your farm?" |
26875 | Can you not tell us what you know of his movements?" |
26875 | Coming along all right with them?" |
26875 | Do n''t you see?" |
26875 | Do n''t you think so?" |
26875 | Do n''t you think you could follow his example, and trust us?" |
26875 | Do you like it?" |
26875 | Do you suppose these people can be mixed up with that scoundrel? |
26875 | Do you think you can keep a sharp enough lookout to be able to spot those fellows when they come in?" |
26875 | Do you?" |
26875 | Get''em, and bring''em here, will you?" |
26875 | How about your other qualifications? |
26875 | Hurt, there, sonny?" |
26875 | I can start working for it as soon as I''m a First- Class Scout, ca n''t I?" |
26875 | I think we''ll have to see if we ca n''t help him solve that mystery, do n''t you?" |
26875 | If they do n''t, they''ll all be in jail anyhow, wo n''t they, Captain Haskin?" |
26875 | Is that Broom? |
26875 | Is that the one you dragged ashore, Jack?" |
26875 | It seems silly, does n''t it? |
26875 | Look at the time-- it''s the middle of the afternoon, is n''t it? |
26875 | Now the question is what to do to prevent them from doing anything else?" |
26875 | Now why does anyone want to know about you? |
26875 | Now, how about you, boys? |
26875 | Say, that''ll be a great joke on Ed Willis and those other toughs he''s got on his side, wo n''t it?" |
26875 | Say, this is a confused affair, is n''t it?" |
26875 | See that rock up there, that sticks out from the side of the mountain? |
26875 | See?" |
26875 | Sure you feel well enough, though? |
26875 | That happens sometimes, does n''t it?" |
26875 | That''s where you came from, is n''t it?" |
26875 | The man who carried him off from the camp was entirely willing to kill him-- planned to do so, did n''t he?" |
26875 | They call them forest rangers, do n''t they?" |
26875 | They take all the water there is when the rain falls and keep it for the dry weather, do n''t they, like a camel?" |
26875 | Want to go swimming with us, Tom?" |
26875 | We can do it, too, ca n''t we?" |
26875 | What do you make of that?" |
26875 | What do you say? |
26875 | What do you think we''d better do?" |
26875 | What do you want?" |
26875 | What''ll you do?" |
26875 | Where are they now?" |
26875 | Who are you, I''d like to know?" |
26875 | Why do n''t you make a long hike and go up there? |
26875 | Why not wait him out and make him pitch over the plate?" |
26875 | Why should anyone do that?" |
26875 | You are looking for a boy, are you not?" |
26875 | You are not related to them, are you?" |
26875 | You know that pretty girl, that Miss Burton, who was on the burning launch? |
26875 | You would n''t like never to see the snow, or to be in a place where it never froze and made ice for skating, would you?" |
26875 | Your father will meet you there, I suppose, wo n''t he?" |
30453 | ''Allo, you get heem broke foot, mebby? |
30453 | Are you all ready, Nipper? |
30453 | Bet it will burn up the beach, eh, fellows? |
30453 | Bully-- how''s it done? |
30453 | But say, here we''ve been talking about giving the town a flag, now what''s it to look like? |
30453 | But what''s to prevent? |
30453 | But why do n''t you make a couple of scaling ladders? 30453 By Jiminy, what do you think of that?" |
30453 | By Jove, she looks like a real fire fighter, does n''t she? |
30453 | Can you do all that? |
30453 | Corking crowd, eh, Bruce? |
30453 | Do they line''em up like a lot of sprinters and start''em when a pistol is fired? |
30453 | Et will take you all ze Wintair for ze work mebbe, huh? |
30453 | Good, I''ll learn your names later, boys, and if I do n''t, I''ll give you names that''ll be just as good, wo n''t I, May? 30453 Have I your permission to take a hand?" |
30453 | Hello, boys, how''s she working? |
30453 | How about it, fellows? 30453 How about ladders?" |
30453 | How about the flag? |
30453 | How are you, Scouts? |
30453 | How does it suit? 30453 How fast can they go?" |
30453 | How''er we goin''t''get some light into t''hole t''see the brute? 30453 How''er you''re goin''to hitch anything around_ that_ animal, I''d like to know?" |
30453 | How''ll yuh do it? 30453 Huh, you have n''t? |
30453 | In the movies, eh? 30453 Is Mr. Ford at headquarters?" |
30453 | Is that so? 30453 Is that what it was? |
30453 | It does seem like a dream, does n''t it? |
30453 | Jove, we''ll have some celebration, eh, fellows? |
30453 | Letter? |
30453 | Like it, boys? |
30453 | Look at who-- what? |
30453 | Oh- ho, so you are the chaps Mr. Herrick was telling me about-- have motorcycles and all that sort of rigging, eh? 30453 Rather early in the morning to risk one''s neck, eh? |
30453 | Rebuilt the bridge, eh? 30453 Say, did you see''em scrapping over who should carry the fire trumpet?" |
30453 | Say, hang it all, you Scouts know a thing or two, do n''t yuh? |
30453 | Say, how do they race? |
30453 | Say, is n''t it great? |
30453 | Say, was that opportunity, after all? |
30453 | So that''s the line, eh? 30453 So this is the famous Old Harbor Beach race course?" |
30453 | Struck it? 30453 The Guardians of the Highways and--""Well, why in tarnation did n''t yuh guard''em then? |
30453 | Well, Scouts, it surely looks like a good plan, but will it catch''em, that''s what we want to know? |
30453 | What sort of a flag is it to be? 30453 What the dickens is the matter with us anyway, are we lazy?" |
30453 | What''re you making such a row for? 30453 What''s a supe?" |
30453 | When are you going to be ready for the official tryout? |
30453 | When you come into heem woods for cut um down? |
30453 | When''ll you be ready? 30453 Where are you fellows from?" |
30453 | Where? |
30453 | Who do you know at Old Harbor Beach, Bruce? |
30453 | Who, me? |
30453 | Why, what the dickens struck you? 30453 Will it take long?" |
30453 | Will that elephant mind his trainer? |
30453 | Will we be able to see the races? |
30453 | Woodbridge, Vermont? 30453 Would you like to ride on the tandem behind me?" |
30453 | Yes, but first why not get the troop together and see if we can get ten good swimmers whose parents will let them go? 30453 And I guess we must have put on about three thousand lamp sockets during the last few days, have n''t we? |
30453 | And if you do n''t mind, will you scrape up a few of those papers? |
30453 | And say, fellows, we''ll have to erect our poles at Firemen''s Field, do you realize that? |
30453 | And, by the way, did you notice that the pamphlet from the Mayor''s office named Mr. Ford among the members of the judging committee in this contest?" |
30453 | And, say-- listen-- what''s the fuss up the street? |
30453 | Any one been up to the hospital?" |
30453 | Anything we can do for you? |
30453 | Anything you want? |
30453 | Are the tents ready and the rest of the equipment in order? |
30453 | Are you ready now, gentlemen? |
30453 | Are you ready?" |
30453 | Are you sure--?" |
30453 | Are you willing to do a good turn for the welfare of us all?" |
30453 | Are you with us?" |
30453 | Boy Scout, do you know anything about old Nanny-- Nanny Haskell? |
30453 | But what''s that side car paraphernalia, that long box and the cigar- shaped tin can and the reel with wire cable on it, and all that?" |
30453 | By jiminy, I thought all moths could fly, did n''t you? |
30453 | Ca n''t you see him?" |
30453 | Ca n''t you send one to the Woodbridge Theater?" |
30453 | Can you read them?" |
30453 | Come, spit it out, and if it is n''t any better than the rest we''ve been listening to, we''ll maul you-- won''t we, fellows?" |
30453 | Could he make it? |
30453 | Could he make the turn? |
30453 | Could this be done? |
30453 | Cracky what''ll we do? |
30453 | Dad said so, and he knows, and, say, speaking of Haystack Mountain,"added Bruce,"why not go up there for our tree? |
30453 | Did n''t any of you see it?" |
30453 | Did your fire make all that smoke, Romper?" |
30453 | Do n''t it look fine, eh? |
30453 | Do n''t you ever read the papers?" |
30453 | Do you boys want it? |
30453 | Do you understand?" |
30453 | Doctair Lyman heem line run cross by that blaze over tair; you see heem, huh? |
30453 | Elephant-- in-- in--''What the dickens is he talking about? |
30453 | Get my idea? |
30453 | Had Dave Connors come down the wood road, or had he gone wandering blindly through the forest to be trapped and burned to death? |
30453 | Had he brought the scouts out on a dangerous but useless mission? |
30453 | Had he tried to crawl to the door? |
30453 | Had they the time to accomplish the task? |
30453 | Has Bruce heard from Chief Blaney yet? |
30453 | Has n''t he, gentlemen? |
30453 | Hear''em shoutin''? |
30453 | Hi, Buster, what did you let that fire go out for? |
30453 | How about it?" |
30453 | How about it?" |
30453 | How about it?" |
30453 | How about it?" |
30453 | How are the wire stringers getting along?" |
30453 | How are you? |
30453 | How do you like that for a programme?" |
30453 | How do you like that, boys?" |
30453 | How does it work? |
30453 | How does that strike you?" |
30453 | How does that suit you?" |
30453 | How is she to- day? |
30453 | How long will it take''em to go the full length of the beach?" |
30453 | How long would it be before the flames reached the office and burned the old man alive? |
30453 | How would you like the job, boys?" |
30453 | How would you like to be my supes? |
30453 | How''ll that suit you fellows?" |
30453 | How''ll we ever get him out? |
30453 | How''s''Old Nanc''?" |
30453 | Hurry it, will you, fellows?" |
30453 | I believe your Northern Light was a forest fire, or-- or-- say, is n''t that smoke rising above those trees there?" |
30453 | I could n''t get that last, could you, Bruce?" |
30453 | I guess we''re all going to stay up and see the circus go through town, if it is n''t raining, are n''t we, fellows?" |
30453 | I wondered if any one was caught in it, same as we were nearly caught?" |
30453 | I-- Hi, Bruce, what''s getting you, you''re as pale as a ghost?" |
30453 | I--""Say, Romper, is your fire really out?" |
30453 | If I can I-- Listen, is that some one coming? |
30453 | Is it ready to test? |
30453 | Is it? |
30453 | Is that the machine? |
30453 | It all grew out of watching a vacuum cleaner, eh? |
30453 | It also says that the female Brown Tail moth is attracted by strong lights and can be found fluttering around arc lamps almost any warm--""Does it? |
30453 | It means-- ah-- er-- well--""Sure it does, we knew it all the time, did n''t we, Romper?" |
30453 | McCabe?" |
30453 | Now be honest, have you?" |
30453 | Now where do we stand, I''d like to know?" |
30453 | Now, slower-- what''s this idea? |
30453 | Oh, well, we do n''t mind, do we, boys?" |
30453 | Quarry Troop''s Christmas CHAPTER I THE MOTORCYCLE FIRE BRIGADE"By Jiminy, that was some fire for an old hay barn, was n''t it, fellows?" |
30453 | Remember? |
30453 | Say what can they make fifteen miles in? |
30453 | Say, did you get your letter?" |
30453 | Say, fellows, can it be a forest fire? |
30453 | Say, fellows, what do you say to going down and looking over the garages before breakfast?" |
30453 | See the lights down there by the old quarry hole? |
30453 | See the plan?" |
30453 | See''em-- that string of lights coming down Willow Street-- hear that rumble of the wagons?" |
30453 | Standing at attention, Bruce saluted in regulation Boy Scout fashion and asked briefly:"Chief, can the Boy Scout Engineers take a hand in this? |
30453 | Thanks, that looks much better, does n''t it? |
30453 | That should help the troop''s treasury a little, eh, boys?" |
30453 | That should make a real hit, eh, fellows? |
30453 | The tests can be conducted up to midnight Saturday, ca n''t they?" |
30453 | Then he added:"Sure enough, but by gollies I smell some-- I hope it isn''t-- gee, look over to the west there above the trees: Is that smoke? |
30453 | Then turning to Nipper Knapp, he shouted,"How about the motor, Nipper?" |
30453 | Then,"say, is Mr. Ford here? |
30453 | Think some one is going down there and dive between his legs with your blooming old sling, do yuh? |
30453 | Tough luck, is n''t it?" |
30453 | Want to starve him?" |
30453 | Was everything going to fall through at the last moment? |
30453 | Was it a failure? |
30453 | Was their idea only visionary, alter all? |
30453 | We do n''t mind taking_ that_ sort of pay for a good turn, do we?" |
30453 | We have n''t seen anything as good as this, have we?" |
30453 | We''ll work out a regular rescue exercise, wo n''t we, fellows?" |
30453 | Well, twenty- five acres of woods is a lot of territory, is n''t it, Bruce?" |
30453 | Well, you came a long way to see the races, did n''t you?" |
30453 | What do you mean by a city flag? |
30453 | What do you say? |
30453 | What do you think of the scout''s invention? |
30453 | What do you want, provisions, matches? |
30453 | What does it mean? |
30453 | What for, I wonder? |
30453 | What had happened? |
30453 | What shall I ever do? |
30453 | What you zink of zat?" |
30453 | What''s the matter, Romper?" |
30453 | What''s the matter?" |
30453 | When''ll we start?" |
30453 | Where are the rest of the fellows?" |
30453 | Where are you going to test it?" |
30453 | Where does it say they like strong light?" |
30453 | Where was he? |
30453 | Where--?" |
30453 | Where? |
30453 | Who could be other than happy with Christmas but a week off? |
30453 | Who knows? |
30453 | Who wants to go along?" |
30453 | Why should this be taken from me, too? |
30453 | Why you do n''t fix heem camp up good? |
30453 | Will he? |
30453 | Wo n''t tell a soul until we get a chance to spring a surprise on the whole town, eh, fellows?" |
30453 | Wo n''t you, boys?" |
30453 | Would he? |
30453 | Would the boom hold? |
30453 | Would the truck stay on all four wheels or would it go plunging on madly, end over end, into the lake? |
30453 | Would they be trapped by it? |
30453 | Wow; were there ever fellows as lucky as we are? |
30453 | You fellows be sure and report for duty, will you?" |
30453 | demanded Bruce,"what letter?" |
30453 | how about the blasting mat sling-- is it finished?" |
30453 | is she alive-- really-- honest-- Nanny Haskell-- boy, you''re sure?" |
30453 | roared the furious manager,"but how in tarnation are you going to get it_ under_ his belly? |
30453 | want to freeze us out?" |
30453 | what shall I do?" |
30453 | what was that word? |
6114 | A cistern? 6114 A picnic?" |
6114 | A prisoner? 6114 About water? |
6114 | Ah, how d''ye do, Bert? |
6114 | All ready, now, boys? |
6114 | And where''s the money coming from? |
6114 | Any of''em hurt? |
6114 | Are all the cattle out? |
6114 | Are you all ready? |
6114 | Are you going to arrest Chester? |
6114 | Are you still talking about your force pump? |
6114 | At the Stockton mansion? |
6114 | Bert, ca n''t you go there and make a speech? |
6114 | Blaze? 6114 But what about this queer message?" |
6114 | But what makes you think he is a criminal? |
6114 | But who could be imprisoned there? |
6114 | But, fellows, what do you think of the plan? |
6114 | Ca n''t something be done to save the barn? |
6114 | Ca n''t you borrow a horse and drive it over? |
6114 | Ca n''t you throw any more water on? |
6114 | Can I help you, Bert? |
6114 | Can you do anything? |
6114 | Cattle? 6114 Cole, do you know about how much the authorities at Jamesville would want for their old engine?" |
6114 | Could it have been the old housekeeper? |
6114 | Did he say anything about our boys''department? |
6114 | Did you get burned any? |
6114 | Do any of you fellows know him? |
6114 | Do n''t you favor this? |
6114 | Do n''t you see what I mean? 6114 Do n''t you? |
6114 | Do you boys want to buy it? |
6114 | Do you get any letters for him? |
6114 | Do you know whether they will sell it? |
6114 | Do you suppose he has gambling games in that house? |
6114 | Do you think the boys will like this new plan, Bert? |
6114 | Do you think those horses will jump out there? |
6114 | Do you think you can save part of it? |
6114 | Do you want to be sunk in the deepest part of the lake? 6114 Goin''to drive the horses through?" |
6114 | Going to help put the fire out? |
6114 | Going to parade, Moses? |
6114 | Have n''t you any insurance? |
6114 | Here, where are you boys going? |
6114 | How are the engines, boys? |
6114 | How are you getting on? |
6114 | How do you account for that? |
6114 | How else can we do it? |
6114 | How much? |
6114 | How you goin''to do it? |
6114 | How''s that for the new department? |
6114 | How''s that? |
6114 | How''s that? |
6114 | How''s the fire business? |
6114 | How''s the machine, Vincent? |
6114 | How''s your burn? |
6114 | How? |
6114 | How? |
6114 | However in the world did the boys get it? 6114 I wonder if I could n''t send a letter to him? |
6114 | I wonder if I ever shall see him again? |
6114 | I wonder if Mr. Stockton knows about our new department? |
6114 | I wonder if Mr. Stockton knows it? |
6114 | I wonder if it could have been done by Mort Decker? 6114 I wonder if the town will take any action toward having a regular department now?" |
6114 | I wonder if there''s anything more we can save? |
6114 | I wonder if they can throw a stream as far as my force pump? |
6114 | I wonder if they''re going to keep the engine? |
6114 | I wonder if we can beat those fellows? |
6114 | I wonder if we could n''t get permission to have the church bell rung? |
6114 | I wonder what his plan is? |
6114 | I wonder what it means? 6114 I wonder who in this place can want a stenographer and typewriter?" |
6114 | I wonder who in this town would want a stenographer and typewriter? |
6114 | I wonder why he does n''t shout for the bucket brigade now? |
6114 | In his arms? 6114 Is n''t the hose long enough to reach from there?" |
6114 | Is n''t there an end door? |
6114 | Is the barn insured? |
6114 | Is the fire out? 6114 May I go with you?" |
6114 | Mr. Stimson''s barn? 6114 Muchmore would n''t have tossed out a message like that, I suppose?" |
6114 | My force---"Ai n''t the bucket brigade going to run things? |
6114 | Not take in the men? 6114 Oh, this burn? |
6114 | Parade? 6114 Pretty heavy loss, ai n''t it, neighbor Stimson?" |
6114 | Prisoner? |
6114 | Queer? 6114 Say, have n''t you got anything else to talk about except that force pump?" |
6114 | Shall we start in, Bert? |
6114 | So, that''s why you were there, eh? 6114 So, this is a trick by one of you young rascals, is it?" |
6114 | Suppose I refuse to go? |
6114 | Then do n''t you forward them? |
6114 | Then he is a gambler? |
6114 | Then if I hear an alarm from the church bell I suppose you do n''t want me to call you? |
6114 | Then if I wrote a letter to Mr. Stockton, you do n''t think he''d get it? |
6114 | Then what can it be? |
6114 | Then where is he? |
6114 | Threw him overboard? |
6114 | Well, Herbert,said his mother that night,"you have n''t had much use of your new engine, have you?" |
6114 | Well, I wonder where we''ll be, if they have a regular department? |
6114 | Well, boys, all ready for a blaze? |
6114 | Well? |
6114 | Were you smoking there? |
6114 | What are we going to do? |
6114 | What are we going to do? |
6114 | What are you doing here? 6114 What are you doing, Herbert?" |
6114 | What are you going to do? |
6114 | What can we do about it? |
6114 | What did you do? |
6114 | What did you tell him? |
6114 | What do you make of it? |
6114 | What do you mean, Herbert? |
6114 | What for? 6114 What for?" |
6114 | What for? |
6114 | What good are buckets in a blaze like that? 6114 What good''ll that do?" |
6114 | What has he got in his arms? |
6114 | What have you to say? |
6114 | What is it, Herbert? |
6114 | What is it, Herbert? |
6114 | What is it? |
6114 | What is it? |
6114 | What is that? |
6114 | What is this? |
6114 | What kind? |
6114 | What plan is it? |
6114 | What right have you to be prying into my affairs? 6114 What will you do?" |
6114 | What''d he want; more help? |
6114 | What''ll we do now? |
6114 | What''s that for? |
6114 | What''s that for? |
6114 | What''s that? |
6114 | What''s the good of a department if you have n''t got an engine? |
6114 | What''s the matter with paying the boys for theirs? |
6114 | What''s the matter, boys? 6114 What''s the use of talking? |
6114 | What, and increase the taxes to pay for it? 6114 What? |
6114 | What? |
6114 | When are you going to do it? |
6114 | Where are the ropes? |
6114 | Where are you from? |
6114 | Where are you going to get the engine? |
6114 | Where are you going? |
6114 | Where are you going? |
6114 | Where are you working? 6114 Where did you get it?" |
6114 | Where is a well or cistern? |
6114 | Where is the blaze? |
6114 | Where we going to get our water? |
6114 | Where will we get water? |
6114 | Where will you stay to- night? |
6114 | Where''s the fire? |
6114 | Where''s the key? |
6114 | Where? |
6114 | Who are you? 6114 Who are you?" |
6114 | Who are you? |
6114 | Who are you? |
6114 | Who told you he was a gambler? |
6114 | Who was that fellow? |
6114 | Who wrote it? |
6114 | Who''s runnin''this here fire, I''d like to know? |
6114 | Who? |
6114 | Whose boat is that? |
6114 | Whose place is it? 6114 Why did n''t you bring it along?" |
6114 | Why do n''t you come around front and closer? |
6114 | Why do n''t you do it, then? |
6114 | Why do n''t you mind your own business? |
6114 | Why do n''t you take a hand yourself? |
6114 | Why do n''t you throw the water on the flames, instead of on the ground? |
6114 | Why does n''t he give the word? |
6114 | Why not? |
6114 | Why, mother? |
6114 | Will they see the old engine? |
6114 | Will you, really? 6114 Wonder what he''s doing around here?" |
6114 | Yes, but those uniforms are dear, are n''t they? |
6114 | Yes; but how did you know? |
6114 | Yes; but what? |
6114 | You do n''t expect it''s going to put itself out, do you? |
6114 | You do, eh? |
6114 | You do? 6114 You know how to handle horses, do n''t you?" |
6114 | Your nephew? 6114 All we want to know is, what will become of our department? |
6114 | Appelby?" |
6114 | But did n''t he come out of the Stockton boathouse?" |
6114 | But how are things at the house of mystery? |
6114 | But what do you make of this message?" |
6114 | But what shall I say?" |
6114 | But would the frightened horses leap to safety? |
6114 | CHAPTER VI THE FIRST RUN"How are we going to get it home?" |
6114 | CHAPTER X MYSTERIOUS ACTIONS"Where is it?" |
6114 | Can you boys get them out?" |
6114 | Could the engine be held for us, for a few weeks?" |
6114 | Did n''t we put out the fire at Sim Rockford''s, one day, about two years ago?" |
6114 | Did the bell ring long before you called me?" |
6114 | Do you know his address?" |
6114 | Goin''--to-- the-- fire?" |
6114 | Going swimming or fishing?" |
6114 | Had I better tell the authorities?" |
6114 | Have you discovered anything new?" |
6114 | Have you seen him? |
6114 | How about you?" |
6114 | How do you mean?" |
6114 | How many are in the barn?" |
6114 | How-- could-- I-- when-- it''s-- fast-- on-- the-- cistern?" |
6114 | I am a priso""What''s that last word?" |
6114 | I wonder what Mr. Bergman meant when he said he''d not forget what we did for him?" |
6114 | I wonder what he wants to tell me to- night? |
6114 | I wonder who he was?" |
6114 | In town here?" |
6114 | Is it a joke; or something serious?" |
6114 | Oh, why did he go back? |
6114 | Out for a practice drill?" |
6114 | Say, Vincent, do you know where it is?" |
6114 | Stimson?" |
6114 | Stockton?" |
6114 | Suppose some of the horses should run away and trample on you? |
6114 | The owner of this place?" |
6114 | Tom? |
6114 | Was n''t it queer old Sagger''s place should catch fire?" |
6114 | We have n''t had much use of it lately, have we?" |
6114 | Were you there?" |
6114 | What are you?" |
6114 | What do you think?" |
6114 | What for?" |
6114 | What you going to do?" |
6114 | What''s that?" |
6114 | What''s that?" |
6114 | What''s the matter with buying the second- hand engine of Jamesville?" |
6114 | What''s the matter?" |
6114 | Where are we going to keep it?" |
6114 | Where is he? |
6114 | Where is it, Herbert?" |
6114 | Who is he?" |
6114 | Whom would you have, then?" |
6114 | Why arc you in there?" |
6114 | Why did you warn me away?" |
6114 | Why not? |
6114 | Will you come?" |
6114 | Wonder who''s in it?" |
6114 | Would he get a sight of the prisoner held there? |
6114 | Would he jump? |
6114 | You will not let him shut me up again, will you?" |
6114 | your friends-- the boys you play ball with?" |
1363 | A chance? 1363 A dye company?" |
1363 | All ready up there? |
1363 | All ready, Tom? |
1363 | And did you? |
1363 | And may I have another cup of tea? |
1363 | And what do you propose doing with it? |
1363 | And when they do will he be able to see? |
1363 | And wo n''t the elevators come for us? |
1363 | And you believe they have yours? |
1363 | Any idea what it is, Ned? |
1363 | Any special object in view? |
1363 | Anybody hurt around here? |
1363 | Anything special on? |
1363 | Are there any fire escapes at your windows? |
1363 | Are there any killed? |
1363 | Are they Field and Melling? |
1363 | Are you going into that line, Tom? |
1363 | Are you going to have a second test, Tom? |
1363 | Are you going to put out any more tree fires? |
1363 | Are you ready to accept contracts for putting out skyscraper blazes in all big cities? |
1363 | Are you sure we shall not have to make another forced landing? |
1363 | Burned in the fire? |
1363 | But did I hear you say they are embarking on a dye enterprise? |
1363 | But do you suppose his plant is large enough to enable me to work there until mine is in shape again? |
1363 | But how are you going to get your chemicals in at the top? 1363 But how did they get here?" |
1363 | But if he lives all alone will it be safe to leave him in his house? |
1363 | But if you have n''t anything new to give them, of what use is it? |
1363 | But was any one in the building? |
1363 | But what makes you so serious? |
1363 | But what of my future? 1363 But where are the crows, and what started the fire?" |
1363 | By the way, what are they doing to this building? 1363 Ca n''t we get down the stairs?" |
1363 | Ca n''t you drop the bomb containers accurately in a wind? |
1363 | Can I do anything for you? |
1363 | Can you give her the rest of the load? |
1363 | De same one whut fizzed up, an''--an''busted me in de eyes, Massa Tom? |
1363 | Did n''t they? |
1363 | Did n''t you have any insurance? 1363 Did we hit it?" |
1363 | Did you call on Mr. Keith when you went to Newmarket with Mary? |
1363 | Do n''t you understand? |
1363 | Do you hear one of the cylinders missing, Ned? |
1363 | Do you mean Amos Field and Jason Melling of the fireworks firm? |
1363 | Do you really think they have them-- actually have the formulae? |
1363 | Do you think he is worse hurt than appears? 1363 Do you think he''ll ever get better, Tom?" |
1363 | Do you think it will be much worse? |
1363 | Do you think you''ve hit on the right combination? |
1363 | Does he say he lost them in the fire of our factory? |
1363 | For long? |
1363 | Go for a ride? 1363 Going away?" |
1363 | Had n''t we better get him into the house, Doctor? |
1363 | Has anything happened? 1363 Has anything happened?" |
1363 | Has n''t some relative of Mary''s an office there, Tom? |
1363 | Have you anything special to do, Tom? |
1363 | Have you my formulae? |
1363 | How about leaving me out? |
1363 | How about you, Ned? |
1363 | How did you get here? |
1363 | How did you happen to be in the building? |
1363 | How is he? |
1363 | How is her uncle, Barton Keith, by the way? |
1363 | How is it? |
1363 | How is that? 1363 How-- how did they get here?" |
1363 | I do n''t know this place, do you, Tom? |
1363 | I''ll be all right presently, and can go home, though-- Oh, well, what''s the use? |
1363 | In what way? |
1363 | In what way? |
1363 | Is Rad worse? 1363 Is Rad-- has anything happened-- shall I get the doctor?" |
1363 | Is anything broken, Tom? |
1363 | Is everything all right, Ned? |
1363 | Is he associated with you? |
1363 | Is he otherwise injured? |
1363 | Is it any of our buildings? |
1363 | Is it-- does it mean danger? |
1363 | Is n''t that where Field and Melling are now? |
1363 | Is n''t that where Field and Melling hang out? |
1363 | Is n''t there a back way down, Uncle Barton? |
1363 | Is n''t there any way out of this fire trap? |
1363 | Is the world turning upside down, Tom, when fires start in this fashion? |
1363 | Is there anything we can do-- any hospital to which we can send him for special treatment? |
1363 | Is this a restaurant-- an inn? |
1363 | Killed? |
1363 | Mad? |
1363 | Mah ole mule, Boomerang-- does yo''''member him, Massa Tom? |
1363 | May I ask the make of it? 1363 No? |
1363 | Of what use to live? |
1363 | Of what-- your new aerial fire fighting apparatus? |
1363 | Oh, Tom, was it your new machine? |
1363 | Oh, have n''t I? 1363 Oh, is yo''goin'', Massa Tom?" |
1363 | Oh, the doctor says he''ll be able to decide about Rad''s eyesight tomorrow, does he? |
1363 | Oh, what ever would we have done without you? |
1363 | Oh, yes, they''re in the same building with Mr. Keith, are n''t they? 1363 Or ca n''t you get them from that Frenchman?" |
1363 | Rad-- he-- he--"Has anything happened? |
1363 | Run? |
1363 | Say, we had some exciting times on that undersea search, did n''t we? |
1363 | Scared? |
1363 | Settles what, Tom? |
1363 | Shall we let them all go at once, Tom? |
1363 | Something new, eh, Tom? |
1363 | Suppose they never come? |
1363 | That was the last of them, was n''t it, Ned? |
1363 | The Swift-- Tom Swift? |
1363 | The doctor will know tomorrow, will he? |
1363 | Then why go closer? |
1363 | Then you want me, and perhaps Mr. Damon to take the stuff up in the machine? 1363 Want to come?" |
1363 | Was I? |
1363 | Was he-- Who was the young lady? 1363 Was the safe destroyed?" |
1363 | We''ll go right over Newmarket, sha''n''t we, Tom? |
1363 | Well, Tom, how goes it? |
1363 | Well, are you all ready, Mary? |
1363 | Well, how goes it? |
1363 | Well, if you''re so anxious to work, Dad, why not give me a hand with my fire extinguisher chemical? |
1363 | Well, to resume where we left off,began Ned, when he and Tom were once more by themselves,"what''s the game?" |
1363 | Well? |
1363 | Were your formulae for the manufacture of fireworks? |
1363 | What about? |
1363 | What are the crowds doing? |
1363 | What are you doing, Tom? |
1363 | What are you going to do, Tom? |
1363 | What are you going to do, Tom? |
1363 | What are you going to do? |
1363 | What are you going to do? |
1363 | What became of it? |
1363 | What can he do? |
1363 | What can you do about it? |
1363 | What caused it? |
1363 | What did happen? |
1363 | What did they''put over''on poor Baxter? |
1363 | What did you do that put out the fire? |
1363 | What do you feel like eating? |
1363 | What do you mean? |
1363 | What do you mean? |
1363 | What do you suppose he means, Tom, saying that Field and Melling stole his formulae? |
1363 | What good will it do? |
1363 | What has that to do with it-- I mean as far as the working of your chemical extinguisher is concerned? |
1363 | What has that to do with it? |
1363 | What have you been doing, and what''s all that white stuff on your coat? |
1363 | What is it? |
1363 | What is their game? |
1363 | What is your next move? |
1363 | What more do you want than this? |
1363 | What sent that blaze to the happy hunting grounds? |
1363 | What strange talk is this? |
1363 | What then? |
1363 | What was it? |
1363 | What''s the idea? |
1363 | What''s the idea? |
1363 | What''s the matter with your aunt, Mary? 1363 What''s the matter, Tom?" |
1363 | What''s the matter, Tom? |
1363 | What''s the matter, Tom? |
1363 | What''s the matter? 1363 What''s the matter?" |
1363 | What''s the matter? |
1363 | What''s the trouble now? |
1363 | What''s the use of talking? 1363 What''s this I hear? |
1363 | What''s this? 1363 What''s this?" |
1363 | What-- what''s the matter? |
1363 | What? |
1363 | When are you coming home, Mary? |
1363 | When are you going to try it? |
1363 | Where are you aiming for now? |
1363 | Where are you going to get the fire? |
1363 | Where are you worst hurt, Rad? |
1363 | Where do you reckon it is? |
1363 | Where does he live? |
1363 | Where is he, and what''s the matter? |
1363 | Where''s that? |
1363 | Where? |
1363 | Which means what? |
1363 | Who could be writing to me? 1363 Who is he?" |
1363 | Who is he? |
1363 | Who sees the light of day? |
1363 | Who''s going to drop the stuff-- Koku? |
1363 | Who? |
1363 | Who? |
1363 | Whose trail? 1363 Whut de doctor man done say, Massa Tom?" |
1363 | Why do n''t you go over to see Mr. Damon? 1363 Why do n''t you play safe?" |
1363 | Why is it necessary always to fight a fire with water? |
1363 | Why not ask Mr. Baxter to help you? |
1363 | Why? 1363 Why?" |
1363 | Why? |
1363 | Will there be any smell? |
1363 | Will yo'', really, Massa Tom? |
1363 | Yes, but how are you going to do it, when you ca n''t even prove that they have them? |
1363 | Yes? |
1363 | You are n''t taking any chances, are you, Tom? |
1363 | You are sure you''ll have my formulae in the morning? |
1363 | You do? |
1363 | You have n''t delved much into chemistry, have you? |
1363 | You have offices here, have n''t you? |
1363 | You mean another experiment? |
1363 | You mean that he-- that he may go blind? |
1363 | You saw what trouble they had this evening to get a stream of water to the top stories of that factory, did n''t you? |
1363 | You still think they took your dye formulae? |
1363 | You''ll not dare cross it too low down, will you? |
1363 | Am dat-- dat big-- dat big nice man heah now?" |
1363 | And as he directed his car as close as was safe to the blazing car, Mr. Damon asked:"Are you going to put out that fire for them, Tom?" |
1363 | And is Eradicate going to get better?" |
1363 | And this, as I understand it, does n''t include what was taken from the wreck of the Pandora?" |
1363 | And while they are thus temporarily hidden may not this opportunity be taken of telling new readers something of the hero of this story? |
1363 | Are you Field and Melling?" |
1363 | Are you able to do anything here?" |
1363 | Are you sure you''re all right, Mary?" |
1363 | Bad news?" |
1363 | Baxter?" |
1363 | Bring the runabout here, will you please, Ned?" |
1363 | But Eradicate caught the sound of his young employer''s footsteps and called:"Yo''goin'', Massa Tom?" |
1363 | But are you sure they took the papers which meant so much to you?" |
1363 | But of course to go out and buy what I need--""Oh I guess we can stand that, ca n''t we, Dad?" |
1363 | But what are you going to do now, Tom? |
1363 | But what do you think of this combination, Mr. Baxter? |
1363 | But what in the name of a volunteer fire department set that tree to blazing, Tom?" |
1363 | But what shall I order for you?" |
1363 | But what''s that smoke down there?" |
1363 | By the way,"he went on, turning to Mr. Baxter,"are you any nearer fastening the guilt on those two rascals, Field and Melling?" |
1363 | CHAPTER III TOM''S NEW IDEA"What''s the matter with him, Doctor?" |
1363 | CHAPTER IV AN EXPERIMENT"That ca n''t be Koku and Rad in one of their periodic squabbles, can it?" |
1363 | CHAPTER IX SUSPICIONS"What''s that?" |
1363 | CHAPTER XXI THE LIGHT IN THE SKY"Well, what do you say, Tom?" |
1363 | CHAPTER XXV THE LIGHT OF DAY"What''s that? |
1363 | Can you get that engine to work?" |
1363 | Can you help me prove anything against them?" |
1363 | Can you run over?" |
1363 | Damon?" |
1363 | Did those men who just left come in a car?" |
1363 | Did you know it was here?" |
1363 | Do n''t you want to try your new apparatus on it?" |
1363 | Do you want an ambulance, Doctor?" |
1363 | Does yo''''member dat?" |
1363 | Has Mary broken the engagement?" |
1363 | Has n''t he, Koku?" |
1363 | Have n''t you seen it?" |
1363 | How are you going to work it?" |
1363 | How is he, Doctor?" |
1363 | How is he?" |
1363 | How?" |
1363 | I jest wanted to ast if yo''done''membered de time mah mule Boomerang got stuck in de road, an''yo''could n''t git past in yo''auto? |
1363 | Is Rad''s case hopeless?" |
1363 | Is he dying, and is his mind wandering?" |
1363 | Is it going to catch fire?" |
1363 | Is it really true, Koku?" |
1363 | Is my father all right, Rad?" |
1363 | Is n''t it a delightful place, Tom? |
1363 | Is n''t there light enough at a blaze, anyhow?" |
1363 | Is there a garage near here? |
1363 | Is there any word you want to send to Uncle Barton?" |
1363 | Is there anything you want?" |
1363 | Is there more trouble with his eyes?" |
1363 | Is yo''goin''off after mo''diamonds, or up to de caves of ice?" |
1363 | Nestor?" |
1363 | Newton?" |
1363 | Now what do you want for dessert?" |
1363 | Shoot''em up through a hose? |
1363 | Short circuit?" |
1363 | So Field and Melling have their offices there?" |
1363 | Suppose I leave you to yourself for a time, Mr. Baxter? |
1363 | Swift?" |
1363 | There was a look on the face of the chemist that caused Tom to exclaim with a good deal of concern:"What''s the matter?" |
1363 | Want to come?" |
1363 | Want to go over it now?" |
1363 | We do n''t have to jump out, do we?" |
1363 | What do you know? |
1363 | What have you been doing? |
1363 | What is it-- your barns or one of your new shops?" |
1363 | What new line of endeavor are you going to aim at?" |
1363 | What then?" |
1363 | What''s it all about?" |
1363 | What''s this?" |
1363 | Why do they call it the Landmark? |
1363 | Will you come along? |
1363 | Would success or failure attend the young inventor''s project? |
1363 | Would the fumes of the liberated chemicals choke the fire, or would it burn on in spite of them? |
1363 | Your dye formulae here in my office?" |
1363 | but what is the matter? |
1363 | ca n''t we do something?" |
1363 | exclaimed Mr. Damon,"what do you want with a searchlight at a fire, Tom? |
1363 | he suddenly cried,"why not ask him to help you?" |
1363 | shouted Mr. Damon,"are we going through that awful furnace again?" |
1363 | what does this mean?" |
1363 | what happened, Tom?" |
1363 | what has happened?" |
1363 | what''s this I hear?" |
1363 | whut''s use worryin''?" |
33242 | Afraid to get here ahead of time, eh? |
33242 | Ai n''t one fire in twenty- four hours enough for you? |
33242 | Ai n''t there anythin''we can do to stop you from tryin''to run Jip down? |
33242 | Ai n''t there anything I can do to help the poor feller out of the scrape? |
33242 | Ai n''t we here on time? |
33242 | Ai n''t you fellers slingin''a terrible lot of style? |
33242 | Ai n''t you''fraid he''ll be mad if he finds you in there? |
33242 | All hands of us swelling, and our kid rushing around at the head with patched trousers? 33242 Am I in it?" |
33242 | And are you allowing to adopt this''ere kid who is setting himself up as a firebug? |
33242 | And write? |
33242 | And you were figuring on that same thing when you stayed here until eight o''clock last night, eh? |
33242 | Are the men always practising? |
33242 | Are they new clothes, sir? |
33242 | Are we goin''to stay here all night? |
33242 | Are you a fireman already? |
33242 | Are you certain that can be done? |
33242 | Are you claimin''to be posted in the fire business, an''do n''t know things like that are given to men who save folks from bein''burned up? |
33242 | Are you goin''to act jest like as if you was a reg''lar fireman? |
33242 | Are you hurt? |
33242 | Are you reckonin''on stayin''there till you catch him? |
33242 | Are you sure he''s over in Philadelphy? |
33242 | At anything special, sir? |
33242 | But how can you help it if you build the fire right close to the door, when there''s no other way for''em to get out? |
33242 | But how''ll he get back? |
33242 | But if Sam''s here with money in his pocket, how shall we stop him from workin''up the case? |
33242 | But of course I''ll sleep at Mrs. Hanson''s same''s I''ve been doin''? |
33242 | But what about us? 33242 But what am I to do''bout this money he borrowed from Joe Carter?" |
33242 | But what does he know about the detective business? |
33242 | But why are you here, Mr. Davis? 33242 But you do n''t allow folks can go''round settin''fire to houses an''tryin''to burn other people up without havin''to pay for it?" |
33242 | Ca n''t I stay till Ninety- four pulls out? |
33242 | Can Sam Barney have him arrested? |
33242 | Care? 33242 Did Josh really put you into physical training as quick as this?" |
33242 | Did n''t I get Jip Collins arrested? |
33242 | Did n''t they give you any lessons in the school? |
33242 | Did n''t you ever go to school, Amateur? |
33242 | Did n''t you find Sam? |
33242 | Did you hear any of Ninety- four''s men say so? |
33242 | Did you make all that to- day? |
33242 | Do n''t you know any better''n to break up what a feller''s fixin''? |
33242 | Do n''t you know you''re liable to be arrested for doing anything of that sort? |
33242 | Do n''t you know? |
33242 | Do n''t you s''pose I know that after all this time? |
33242 | Do n''t you s''pose they''ve got sense enough to wake up before the thing gets too far along? |
33242 | Do the men really work as hard there as they do at a fire? |
33242 | Do they keep you humpin''on the odd jobs, Amateur? |
33242 | Do they, Amateur? 33242 Do you allow he''ll run straight after this?" |
33242 | Do you go around working for thanks? |
33242 | Do you know how he happened to nab him? |
33242 | Do you know where he is? |
33242 | Do you mean Jip? 33242 Do you mean that I''m goin''to school now?" |
33242 | Do you mean that we''re to hire a reg''lar room? |
33242 | Do you mean to say we''re goin''to range a decent house? 33242 Do you mean to say you''re willin''he should burn the shed an''come pretty nigh killin''you?" |
33242 | Do you mean you''re hankering to run to a fire with them good clothes on? |
33242 | Do you mean''cause of what was done last night, Dan? |
33242 | Do you really mean that? |
33242 | Do you really think I stand a better chance of gettin''into the Department because of tryin''to pull the kid through? |
33242 | Do you reckon they believe you''re a detective? |
33242 | Do you s''pose I count on shinin''boots for a livin''all my life? |
33242 | Do you s''pose he could find any one chump enough to lend him money? |
33242 | Do you s''pose he stayed on the street after that? |
33242 | Do you s''pose he''s countin''on doin''this all alone? |
33242 | Do you s''pose he''s countin''on findin''Jip Collins in that fool way? |
33242 | Do you s''pose we ought''er thank Mr. Davis now for findin''the room for us? |
33242 | Do you think you could keep things in proper shape here? 33242 Feeling pretty good this morning, ai n''t you, kid?" |
33242 | Feeling rather sore? |
33242 | Fine? 33242 Found you plenty of work, eh?" |
33242 | Gettin''scared, eh? |
33242 | Going to strike for Seth while the iron''s hot, eh? |
33242 | Got to do it now? 33242 Had a bath this morning?" |
33242 | Had your breakfast? |
33242 | Have n''t got any folks, eh? |
33242 | Have you been here all that time? |
33242 | Have you been with Ninety- four''s crew at this''ere fire, or not? |
33242 | Have you done anythin''yet? |
33242 | Have you given it up? |
33242 | Have you got enough to buy your breakfast with? |
33242 | Have you got the feller yet what stole your money? |
33242 | Have you seen him since he did this terrible fine piece of detective work? |
33242 | Have you seen_ him_? |
33242 | Have you_ got_ to get Jip arrested? |
33242 | He ai n''t on at headquarters Sunday, is he? |
33242 | He did n''t mean a word of it; did you, Jip? 33242 Hello, where are you fellers goin''?" |
33242 | How are you countin''on gettin''your ticket to come back? |
33242 | How are you feelin''this mornin'', kid? |
33242 | How are you feeling, kid? |
33242 | How did he get a chance to do anything like that? |
33242 | How did he happen to be here instead of at headquarters? |
33242 | How did you find it out? |
33242 | How did you get along at headquarters? |
33242 | How did you hear of it so soon? |
33242 | How did''Lish Davis swell''round? |
33242 | How do you count on keepin''awake? |
33242 | How do you know that? |
33242 | How do you mean? |
33242 | How does that fit in with the lesson you read to him? |
33242 | How long are you goin''to keep up sich a racket as that? |
33242 | How long since you turned out? |
33242 | How much did that lay- out cost you last night? |
33242 | How much money have you got laid up? |
33242 | How much will it cost? |
33242 | How will you get another outfit? |
33242 | How''d you get in? |
33242 | How''s Jip gettin''along? |
33242 | How? |
33242 | I can take care of myself as well as you, an''if I do n''t knock''round when there''s a fire, how am I ever goin''to learn the business? |
33242 | I do n''t see very much of you, an''perhaps----"You''re reckoning that we may get a call, and you''ll have the chance to go out with us? |
33242 | I do n''t suppose I could sneak in? |
33242 | I made pretty near forty cents, an''it''s kind''er tough if a feller ca n''t spend fifteen of it, eh? |
33242 | I s''pose we sha n''t see very much of you now you''re gettin''so high up in the Department, eh? |
33242 | I s''pose you think you''re pretty nigh the only feller in this town? |
33242 | I s''pose you''d have gone in there if you was wearing the finest coat ever made, eh? |
33242 | I suppose Sam still holds to it that he''ll pull Jip in? |
33242 | I suppose you had n''t thought you might be needing something to eat? |
33242 | I thought''Lish Davis said he''d have his eye out so''s you could n''t get into the fire lines? |
33242 | I''d like to know why? |
33242 | I''d like to know why? |
33242 | I''d like to know, sir, if I''m to be allowed to pay for these clothes when I get so I can earn money enough? |
33242 | If such was the case, would you admit it? |
33242 | If you ai n''t scared, what are you makin''a row''bout now? 33242 Is Sam Barney still on my trail?" |
33242 | Is he the only feller who owes you anythin''? |
33242 | Is it a bad fire? |
33242 | Is it all over? |
33242 | Is it me they mean? |
33242 | Is that what you call a habit? |
33242 | It''s Dan Roberts, of course, an''I was----"Are you acquainted with the prisoner? |
33242 | It''s coming kind of tough on Ninety- four, eh, Jerry? |
33242 | It''s too late to tackle the job to- night; but what''s to stop all three of us from goin''to the Erie Basin after Sam Barney leaves town? 33242 Kind- er late this mornin'', eh?" |
33242 | Little fidgety about to- morrow''s work? |
33242 | Look here, Sam, s''posen it turns out that you do n''t find Jip, how''ll you get home? |
33242 | Look here, Seth, what kind of a stiff are you tryin''to give me? |
33242 | Mr. Davis took a lawyer there? |
33242 | No; is he goin''to the court? |
33242 | Not sure whether you''re feeling good or not? |
33242 | Now see here, Seth Bartlett, what''s the sense of talkin''that way? 33242 Now, see here, mister, Jip never''d done that----""Where were you?" |
33242 | Now, then, Amateur, what are you staring at? 33242 Now, what''s the matter with my doin''a little thing like that? |
33242 | Of course I''ll black boots here same as I''ve allers done? |
33242 | Of course, we may be in the wrong as to that, but if we ai n''t, how''ll you live? 33242 Oh, has he gone over there?" |
33242 | Oh, you did, eh? 33242 Oh, you do n''t, eh? |
33242 | Sam says Jip is in Philadelphy; now, s''posen all hands chipped in enough to buy a ticket for him to go there? 33242 See here, Amateur, how much money have you on hand?" |
33242 | See here, Seth, are you countin''on keepin''that racket up? |
33242 | See here, ai n''t I a detective? |
33242 | Seen Sam Barney to- day? |
33242 | Shall I have any chance to see you? |
33242 | So Jip Collins had sand enough to try an''burn us out, did n''t he? |
33242 | So the letter is for you, even though you never received one before? |
33242 | So we did, sir; but we met Jip Collins, an''----"The kid who started the fire in the lumber- yard? |
33242 | Something been going on that we have n''t heard? |
33242 | Stuck on the business, eh? |
33242 | Sure you''re all right? |
33242 | That kid has got sand, eh? |
33242 | That''s what----The attorney interrupted him by asking as before:"What is your name?" |
33242 | Them as do n''t know their business gets left; but we have n''t got in with that crowd, eh, William? |
33242 | Then how does it happen he let anybody go through him? |
33242 | Then if we talk smooth he stands a better chance, eh? |
33242 | Then there''s nothin''for the poor fellow but to go up the river? |
33242 | Then what are you goin''up this way for? |
33242 | Then why did n''t you''tend to it when you first came in? |
33242 | Then you believe he''d work''round and be a decently square kind of a boy if he got out of this scrape? |
33242 | Then you did n''t have any row? |
33242 | Then you do n''t feel like backin''out yet? |
33242 | Then you will keep the officers from arrestin''him? |
33242 | There''s a brick building butts up against the back end of that lot, so your only chance of getting out would be to come through the lumber- yard? |
33242 | They tell me you''re counting on being a fireman one of these days? |
33242 | They''re beginnin''to find out that I''m no slouch of a detective after all, hey? |
33242 | We''ve got the money, sir,Seth replied;"but seein''''s we belong to Ninety- four jest now, why ca n''t we stay till she pulls out?" |
33242 | Well, how did you sleep last night? |
33242 | Well, how do you like it so far''s you''ve gone? |
33242 | Well, s''pose he has? 33242 Well, s''posen I am?" |
33242 | Well, s''posen they should? 33242 Well, sha n''t I be in time-- and not such a terrible long while either? |
33242 | Well, what are you doing here so early? 33242 Well, what do you think of it?" |
33242 | Well, what have you done with your firebug? |
33242 | Well,Seth said after a brief reflection,"if you ca n''t help him, what''s the use of standin''here?" |
33242 | Well,he cried, stepping directly in front of the boys,"what do you think_ now_''bout my bein''a detective?" |
33242 | Were they to wait there for me? |
33242 | Wha-- wha-- what? |
33242 | What about the fire? |
33242 | What are you countin''on doin''right now? |
33242 | What are you counting on wearing? |
33242 | What are you doing here? |
33242 | What are you goin''to do to- morrow? |
33242 | What did he say''bout givin''Joe Carter sich a yarn? |
33242 | What did he say? |
33242 | What do you call home now the carpenter- shop has gone up in smoke? |
33242 | What do you do to the company? |
33242 | What do you mean by arson? |
33242 | What do you mean by takin''up the case? |
33242 | What do_ you_ want of Jip? |
33242 | What does that''mount to? 33242 What is it to you, so long as we''re satisfied?" |
33242 | What is it you''ve been gettin''up, Bill? |
33242 | What kind of a blow- out do you mean? |
33242 | What kind of a detective do you allow I am if I do n''t know that? 33242 What makes him sell it so cheap?" |
33242 | What things? |
33242 | What would be the use? 33242 What would you do if you should meet him right here this very minute?" |
33242 | What you been doin''? |
33242 | What''s he waitin''for? |
33242 | What''s makin''you so foolish all of a sudden? 33242 What''s that?" |
33242 | What''s the matter? |
33242 | What''s the news''bout Seth? |
33242 | What''s the reason you have n''t got as much of a one with me as you had with Seth? 33242 What''s the use of givin''anything away when folks are howlin''''bout your bein''so brave? |
33242 | What''s the use of that? |
33242 | What''s to be done with the kid who started the fire? |
33242 | What? 33242 What? |
33242 | What? |
33242 | When are you willin''I should come? |
33242 | Where are the medals to be presented? |
33242 | Where are we goin''? |
33242 | Where are we goin''? |
33242 | Where are you counting on sleeping to- night? |
33242 | Where do you count on starting the fire? |
33242 | Where is the exhibition to be held? |
33242 | Where was Dan an''Bill when they sent you to tell me? |
33242 | Where were you when he set fire to the shed in Baxter''s lumber- yard? |
33242 | Where you goin''? |
33242 | Where''s Teddy? |
33242 | Where''s the baby? |
33242 | Where''s your father? |
33242 | Who asked you to? 33242 Who did you think was in the alley?" |
33242 | Who? 33242 Who? |
33242 | Who? |
33242 | Why could n''t I black boots at odd times? |
33242 | Why did n''t he come back on the next train if everybody was ready to lend him money? |
33242 | Why did n''t you stay there? |
33242 | Why do n''t somebody send in an alarm? |
33242 | Why do n''t you come with me? |
33242 | Why do n''t you hunt him up? |
33242 | Why do n''t you kind er loaf here till they have hitched up, an''perhaps we''ll get another chance to stay in the engine- house? |
33242 | Why do n''t you leave this place for two or three days, and find some other quarters? |
33242 | Why do n''t you tackle her? |
33242 | Why not have it settled now? |
33242 | Why not, if it comes cheap enough? 33242 Why not? |
33242 | Why not? |
33242 | Why not? |
33242 | Why not? |
33242 | Why not? |
33242 | Why should n''t I be? 33242 Why, how did you know where he was?" |
33242 | Why, how''d he raise the money? |
33242 | Why, in the shed, of course, we----"Had you heard the prisoner threaten to set fire to the shed? |
33242 | Why? |
33242 | Will Ninety- four''s men be there? |
33242 | Will he get out of the scrape? |
33242 | Will that settle matters for me? |
33242 | Will you come up to the Basin? |
33242 | Will you wear your uniform? |
33242 | Wo n''t, eh? 33242 Would you be willin''to send a feller to jail so''s you might get ahead in the business?" |
33242 | Would you turn tinker, or tailor, or candlestick- maker, Jerry Walters, in order to avoid risking your life two or three times a day? |
33242 | Yell for the perlice, will yer? 33242 Yes, I did, an''of course you can have me sent up the river for it; but what good will that do you? |
33242 | Yes, sir; but I do n''t s''pose it can make much difference if I''m here a little before time,''cause then I''ll get more done, do n''t you see? |
33242 | Yes, that I know, else I would n''t be standing on my feet this minute; but suppose you had missed your hold? 33242 Yes; but yet you did n''t think he''d do so much, eh?" |
33242 | You ai n''t scared of him, are you? |
33242 | You ai n''t thinking of getting him taken on here, are you,''Lish? |
33242 | You can read, ca n''t you? |
33242 | You do, eh? 33242 You''re goin''to lend me money after what I did?" |
33242 | You''ve still got the fool idea in your mind that you''re going to be a fireman? |
33242 | Your firebug has his chance this forenoon, eh? |
33242 | After what seemed like a long time in waiting, Jip''s attorney asked the witness:"What is your name?" |
33242 | Ai n''t gettin''discouraged so soon, are you?" |
33242 | Ai n''t he got the nerve to be snoopin''''round here? |
33242 | Amateur in trouble again?" |
33242 | Anything gone wrong?" |
33242 | Are you hearing what I''m saying?" |
33242 | At that moment some one stepped to the side of the wagon and asked the driver:"Shall we send an ambulance?" |
33242 | Been swelling all the morning till your head is so big that you need to borrow a new cap?" |
33242 | Been to breakfast?" |
33242 | But say, I do look pretty fine, eh?" |
33242 | Ca n''t Ninety- four''s men stop it?" |
33242 | Could n''t you find the mistake before then?" |
33242 | Dan did not reply, but changed the subject of conversation by asking Bill:"What er you goin''to do''bout Sam Barney?" |
33242 | Davis?" |
33242 | Davis?" |
33242 | Davis?" |
33242 | Did n''t come up here reckonin''he or I''d got it, did you?" |
33242 | Did n''t you hear the man call my name? |
33242 | Do n''t you reckon all the firemen were boys once?" |
33242 | Do n''t you reckon you''d stand the heat from a blaze better and longer than them who need to have it mighty nigh cold?" |
33242 | Do n''t you s''pose the driver would kind- er help somehow?" |
33242 | Do you know of any place where we can stop for a night or two till I''ve had time to look''round more?" |
33242 | Do you know, lad, it''s a mighty dangerous thing to jump for a horse in that fashion?" |
33242 | Do you mean that''s really you?" |
33242 | Do you reckon I can show myself down- town now?" |
33242 | Do you s''pose we''d lay still after he''s been an''done what he did? |
33242 | Do you think I''d give you any fairy story about the place? |
33242 | Do you want to consult with him?" |
33242 | Goin''to run a bank, or keep a hotel, or do somethin''like that?" |
33242 | Got a big job?" |
33242 | Got anything on your mind?" |
33242 | Has Mr. Davis turned out yet?" |
33242 | Has the imitation detective caught him yet?" |
33242 | Have n''t been getting into trouble with Josh, I hope?" |
33242 | Have n''t been to breakfast yet, have you?" |
33242 | Have n''t you got the right? |
33242 | He has, eh? |
33242 | He shall come into the Department, eh?" |
33242 | He was----""Where''s them swell Brooklyn chums of yours?" |
33242 | He''s always doin''that, an''what does he''mount to?" |
33242 | How about getting first water now, Amateur?" |
33242 | How did you get inside the lines?" |
33242 | How long can I stay here? |
33242 | How much have you seen of the building so far?" |
33242 | How was Jip lookin''?" |
33242 | How would it look for a fireman to be around blackin''boots? |
33242 | I allow you''re counting on that suit of clothes?" |
33242 | I do n''t reckon you''ve got any big pile of money left by this time, eh?" |
33242 | I reckon you lost everything you owned, eh?" |
33242 | I s''pose that''s what you call bein''a chum of mine?" |
33242 | I thought you shipped that bloomin''detective over to Philadelphia?" |
33242 | I wonder why he could n''t be yanked up for lyin''to Joe Carter when he borrowed that money? |
33242 | I''m goin''to turn in, for what''s the use of payin''for a bed if you only get into it for the sake of sleepin''? |
33242 | If I keep on sellin''papers an''do n''t try to do anything else, I''ll never get some other kind of a job, will I? |
33242 | Instead of immediately acting upon his own suggestion Seth hesitated, and after a moment the driver asked:"What are you hanging in the wind now for? |
33242 | Is Ben Dunton in the house?" |
33242 | Is Bill over to the room?" |
33242 | Is Dan all right?" |
33242 | Is n''t the work here enough to satisfy you, but that you must needs look around for more?" |
33242 | It seems to me you''ve knocked off work kind- er late to- night?" |
33242 | Let me see, you live in the rear of Baxter''s carpenter shop, do n''t you?" |
33242 | Look here, I''ve got to be up at seven o''clock to- morrow mornin'', an''why could n''t I shine your boots to- night?" |
33242 | Neither Dan nor Bill spoke for several seconds, and then the former exclaimed with emphasis:"Say, but you''re gettin''there with both feet, eh?" |
33242 | Now you all know I''m tryin''to work into the Department, an''what kind of show would I stand if there was a record like that against me? |
33242 | Of course you''re countin''on seein''him off?" |
33242 | S''posen you get another feller to do the shinin''an''I come''round evenin''s to tell you what''s been goin''on? |
33242 | S''posen you got the shop this very minute, an''wanted to write a letter, or figger up how much anythin''cost? |
33242 | Sam?" |
33242 | Say, Seth, wo n''t you let me square it somehow?" |
33242 | Say, ca n''t you come down by the post- office now?" |
33242 | Say, goin''into the house now, or do you count on swellin''''round a spell first?" |
33242 | Say, have you seen Sam Barney?" |
33242 | Say, you know Dan made up his mind to own a store on Third Avenoo?" |
33242 | See here, my lad, supposing you could practise here two or three hours a day, would it tire you out so that the regular duties might be slighted?" |
33242 | Seth Bartlett?" |
33242 | Seth made no attempt to read the account, and Dan cried impatiently as he held the sheet in front of him:"Why, do n''t you see what it says? |
33242 | Seth made no attempt to take the missive until Mr. Fernald asked quite sharply:"Why do n''t you take it? |
33242 | Still here, eh?" |
33242 | Suppose I slap your face, how''ll it be then?" |
33242 | Supposing you could drink that while it was boiling? |
33242 | That''s a big step- up for a bootblack to make, an''I wonder how''Lish Davis will like it?" |
33242 | The driver leaned over him once more, and asked almost tenderly:"Will I send you up to the house, Amateur?" |
33242 | Then Seth said interrogatively:"Of course Teddy knew what he was talkin''''bout?" |
33242 | Then Seth turned to the attorney, who was yet talking with Jip, and asked:"How''s he goin''to pay you for lookin''after him?" |
33242 | Then he cried eagerly:"Say, you do n''t want to take another feller in, I s''pose? |
33242 | Well, why do n''t you start?" |
33242 | What about that firebug of yours? |
33242 | What about the team?" |
33242 | What did the lawyer say?" |
33242 | What does he know''bout bein''a detective? |
33242 | What else could he want of me?" |
33242 | What else has come up?" |
33242 | What kind of a fist would you make of it?" |
33242 | What little game_ have_ you got? |
33242 | What made you late in getting down- town? |
33242 | What task have they set for you this morning?" |
33242 | What''s all this talk I hear of your showing the members of the Department how to effect a rescue?" |
33242 | What''s he standin''out there all by his lonesome for?" |
33242 | What''s up?" |
33242 | When did you have a bath last?" |
33242 | When you goin''to leave here?" |
33242 | Where did you get''em?" |
33242 | Who''ll write to Joe Carter''bout it?" |
33242 | Why did n''t you leave headquarters as he told you?" |
33242 | Why not take a spin as far as the post- office?" |
33242 | Would n''t most any feller who''s got as near into the Department as you have?" |
33242 | You do n''t allow that when this''ere company takes it into their heads to fit out a kid they''re going to do it on second- hand rigging, do you?" |
33242 | You do n''t allow we''re running an ambulance for such kids as you, eh?" |
33242 | You goin''to do any more shinin''?" |
33242 | got your eyes open again, eh?" |
33242 | the driver asked gravely, and Seth replied with another question:"Would n''t you, sir?" |
23380 | A fire, lad; was it a big one? |
23380 | A fireman, Willie? |
23380 | A funny place-- eh? 23380 A note, boy, from Mr Auberly?" |
23380 | Ai n''t there none in the house? |
23380 | Ai n''t there sitch a name in the house? |
23380 | Am I to bring the answer back to you, sir? |
23380 | An''ca n''t you eat nothin''now? |
23380 | An''stations along the line? |
23380 | And a bill at three months for the balance? |
23380 | And what,continued Auberly,"would become of the fine arts if all men delighted in dirt, dust, dullness, and desks? |
23380 | And who are you? |
23380 | And you can spell-- eh? 23380 And_ you_ do n''t mean to tell me, do you, that a clerk in a fire insurance office does not know it?" |
23380 | Answer me, boy,said Mr Auberly with an impressive look and tone;"were you sent here by a fireman?" |
23380 | Any leaves? |
23380 | Anyone inside? |
23380 | Are ye jokin'', Frank? |
23380 | Are you mad? |
23380 | Are you sure of what you say, fireman? |
23380 | Ay, but how? |
23380 | B- but it''s awful to think of,said Boone;"suppose it''s found out?" |
23380 | Boy,said Miss Tippet, turning suddenly to Willie,"your name is William Willders, I believe?" |
23380 | Boy,said Mr Auberly,"will you be so good as to walk behind me?" |
23380 | Business gittin''on well? |
23380 | But I''m lookin''at you, and ai n''t that better? 23380 But have you really such an unconquerable love for painting?" |
23380 | But how''s that to be managed? |
23380 | But suppose,said Mrs Denman, with a faint smile,"that the fire is burning in the stair, and the house full of smoke, what am I to do?" |
23380 | But what about your message to the relation in the City? |
23380 | But what if I refuse to be released, Frank? |
23380 | But where is William? |
23380 | But where is Willie Willders? |
23380 | But why? 23380 But you will let me do something for you?" |
23380 | By the way, Baxmore,said Dale,"what was that false alarm at 2 p.m. when I was down at Watling Street?" |
23380 | Can any o''you fellers lend me a bit o''baccy? |
23380 | Can you direct me to Nottin''Hill Gate, missus? |
23380 | Can you not ask some other favour, such as I could grant? |
23380 | Certainly, my son; why does he want you? |
23380 | Come now, wo n''t you have somethin''to eat? 23380 Come, Fred,"said the former,"we can chat here without interr-- hallo--""What''s wrong?" |
23380 | Come, missus, do n''t be cross; wot''s the price o''yer apples now? |
23380 | Conv''shas''n wi''me? |
23380 | Could nothing be done with Mr Auberly? |
23380 | Could we not manage to get her a situation of some sort with light work and good pay? |
23380 | D''ye git nothin''better at other times? |
23380 | D''you kape turpentine? |
23380 | D''you know Mr Tippet well, sir? |
23380 | D''you like bein''a fairy? |
23380 | D''you suppose I''m an ass? |
23380 | D''you want one? |
23380 | Did n''t you hear about it? |
23380 | Did n''t you say he put a blanket round you? |
23380 | Did you ever hear of a coincidence that was not strange, lad? 23380 Did you hear whose house was burned, Willie?" |
23380 | Did you look in at Frank''s lodging in passing to- night? |
23380 | Do n''t you know me, David? |
23380 | Do n''t you know,said Frank,"that we have about four fires_ every_ night? |
23380 | Do n''t you see that the shutters are neither shut nor barred, Matty? |
23380 | Do n''t you think, Fred, that time will soften your father? |
23380 | Do n''t you? 23380 Do you think I would have come to such a pass as this for a trifle? |
23380 | Do you? |
23380 | Does Mrs Denman stop here, my dear? |
23380 | Does your_ mother_ know you''re here? |
23380 | Eh? 23380 Frank,"said Willie, assuming a tone of deep seriousness, while a glow suffused his cheeks,"can you keep a secret?" |
23380 | Going home, lad? |
23380 | Han''t ye got a bit o''hard baccy for the tooth? |
23380 | Has mother, then, not told you anything about my circumstances of late? |
23380 | Have your door- steps cleaned, sir? |
23380 | Here she is;--by the way, what''s your name? |
23380 | How are you, doctor? |
23380 | How are you, my dear? |
23380 | How can it be found out? |
23380 | How can you stay with him? |
23380 | How goes it, Frank? |
23380 | How goes the inimy? |
23380 | How is your sister? |
23380 | How many? |
23380 | How so? |
23380 | How''s Thompson? |
23380 | How, Frank? |
23380 | How, boy; what do you mean? |
23380 | How? |
23380 | I grieve to hear this, Willie,said Frank,"but how comes it that you take so great an interest in these people?" |
23380 | I know you''d like some, would n''t you? 23380 I rather think he is,"replied Willie, with a grin;"who shall I say calls on him-- eh? |
23380 | I say, lads,cried Frank Willders,"what d''ye say to send along to the doctor for another bottle o''cough mixture, same as the first?" |
23380 | I say, youngster, would you like a cup o''chocolate? |
23380 | I sh''pose a living corpse would n''t do, would it? 23380 I suppose the fire has not been got under yet, has it?" |
23380 | Is William Willders at''ome? |
23380 | Is he at home, Betsy dear? |
23380 | Is it go on? |
23380 | Is that you, Gorman? |
23380 | Is that your boat? |
23380 | Is the other engine back? |
23380 | Is the young woman waiting, Hopkins? |
23380 | Is there nothing that I can do? |
23380 | Is your friend a medical man? |
23380 | It is,replied the waterman in surprise,"you do n''t want to go on the water on such a night, do you?" |
23380 | Jolly stuff that, ai n''t it? |
23380 | Just so, William; and your surname-- your other name? |
23380 | Kensington, Fred? 23380 Let_ you_ make hay, you mean?" |
23380 | Managed? 23380 May I make so bold as to ask how Miss Loo was when you seed her last?" |
23380 | Mr Auberly is not to be there, is he? |
23380 | My surprise is greater than yours, lad; how d''you know that, and where is she going to? |
23380 | No lives lost, I hope, Willie? |
23380 | No one bin askin''for me? |
23380 | No tipple? |
23380 | No, indeed, I wo n''t,repeated Mrs Denman;"how can I? |
23380 | No, nothing; what could she tell me that I do not already know? |
23380 | No? |
23380 | Nor drink? |
23380 | Not even the edges, nor the legs? |
23380 | Not much, I hope; thank you for inquiring; but how come you to know about the fire, and to be interested in my sister? |
23380 | Now then, pig- sticker, what d''ye mean by that? |
23380 | Now then, what next? |
23380 | Now, ai n''t that jolly? |
23380 | Now, then, young bottle- imp, what did you mean by that? |
23380 | Now, then,said Gorman, with a business air,"first of all, how stands the stock in the shop?" |
23380 | Of course you''ve no objection to make a fifty pound note or so? |
23380 | Oh, Willie, how comes it that you know? 23380 Oh, can you?" |
23380 | Oh, it''s you, is it? 23380 Oh, mother, you''re a nice deceiver; you''re a sly old lady, ai n''t you? |
23380 | Oh, then there''s_ another_ other boy, sir? |
23380 | Oh, then, you have news, too, have you? |
23380 | Oh, you have, have you? |
23380 | Perhaps not, Willie,said Frank with a quiet smile;"but_ that_ is not what you want to speak about, then?" |
23380 | Please, sir,said Willie, consulting the back of a note;"are you Mister T- Tom-- Tupper, Esquire?" |
23380 | Please, sir,said Willie, going up to him,"is Frank Willders inside?" |
23380 | Poor Mrs Denman,said Miss Tippet, pouring out the tea;"it must have been an awful shock; think of a( Sugar, brother? |
23380 | Ruination? |
23380 | See any one saved, is it? 23380 See that house?" |
23380 | She does, boy, what d''ye want with her? |
23380 | So you were at a fire last night, Willie? |
23380 | Something like_ me_? |
23380 | Stay-- what is your name? |
23380 | Stop, sir, are you mad? |
23380 | Surely this is not your chum, John? |
23380 | Sympathy, Fred? |
23380 | That depends on how you behave in future,said Dale with a laugh;"but what d''you want with Frank Willders?" |
23380 | That you, Willders? |
23380 | That you, Willie? |
23380 | That''s right,said Gorman, clapping Ned on the shoulder and endeavouring to conciliate him;"now, then, the question is, how am I to get''un?" |
23380 | That''s very sad; where is he? |
23380 | Then it''s of no use our turning out, I suppose? |
23380 | There''s gunpowder in the back- shop somewhere, I''m told, sir; shall I go in for it? |
23380 | They ai n''t biled to make''em puff out, are they? |
23380 | W- why not? 23380 WHEN ONE IS ANOTHER WHO IS WHICH?" |
23380 | Was Frank there? |
23380 | Welcome you? 23380 Well, Miss Ward, what can I supply you with to- day?" |
23380 | Well, Sam, what news? |
23380 | Well, boy, was ye comin''here? |
23380 | Well, boy, what do you want? 23380 Well, boy?" |
23380 | Well, but could n''t you think? |
23380 | Well, but what_ is_ the news you''ve got to tell me? |
23380 | Well, have you made the arrangements as I directed you last night? |
23380 | Well, my lad, what''s_ your_ business? |
23380 | Well, my son? |
23380 | Well, t''ain''t easy to explain, but it means two things happenin''together in a most onlikely way-- d''ye see? |
23380 | Well, then, he could get us a corpse, you know-- couldn''t he? |
23380 | Well, what d''ye want, you noisy scamp? |
23380 | Well, what''s the news? |
23380 | Well, you''ll speak to him, wo n''t you, and I''ll make it worth while for both of you? |
23380 | Were there people in the house? |
23380 | Wery sad, ai n''t it, sir? |
23380 | What are they diggin''for? |
23380 | What book am I to read you? |
23380 | What can it be she wants? |
23380 | What d''ye think of my workshop? |
23380 | What did you say, boy? |
23380 | What do you think I should do? 23380 What does a body cost?" |
23380 | What for, lad? |
23380 | What for? |
23380 | What is he? |
23380 | What is his name? |
23380 | What is it you see, Boone? |
23380 | What mean you? |
23380 | What say? |
23380 | What was it? |
23380 | What would you do, madman? |
23380 | What''s that, Joe? |
23380 | What''s that? |
23380 | What,asked Barret,"would become of the town, if all men thought as you do?" |
23380 | What? |
23380 | What` darling''s life,''and what` thing''in Beverly Square? |
23380 | When had you dinner? |
23380 | When was that? 23380 Where are ye goin''?" |
23380 | Where away now? |
23380 | Where was the fire, Willie? |
23380 | Where? |
23380 | Where? |
23380 | Which is to begin first? |
23380 | White satin, Joe? 23380 Who told you about her, Loo?" |
23380 | Why do n''t you go on? |
23380 | Why not? |
23380 | Why, Blazes, do you not know--? 23380 Why, lad, where got ye all those things?" |
23380 | Why, mother, who would have expected to hear_ you_ standing up for the red- coats in this fashion? |
23380 | Why, what are you chucklin''at, Blazes? |
23380 | Why, what d''ye mean?--what d''ye take me for? |
23380 | Why, youngster,said Dale, laying his hand on Willie''s head,"ai n''t you the boy that pulled our bell for a lark the other night?" |
23380 | Why? |
23380 | Will that do? |
23380 | Will you conduct me to their abode? |
23380 | Will you take a message to your mother? |
23380 | Will you_ do_ it? |
23380 | Wo n''t you welcome me? |
23380 | Ye- yes-- why not? |
23380 | Yes, it was gallopin''down Ludgate Hill, was n''t it? |
23380 | Yes, sir, and thankee,said Willie;"where did you say I was to call, sir?" |
23380 | You are a fireman, I understand? |
23380 | You can only ruin me, but do you not know that I will have the power to denounce you as a fire- raiser? |
23380 | You do n''t mean to say there''s been a fire? |
23380 | You do n''t suppose I keep a stock of assorted subjects on hand, do you? |
23380 | You have not told me what it is; how can I answer you? |
23380 | You know Barret, Frank? |
23380 | You know the alternative if you do n''t? |
23380 | You want a situation in my office as a clerk? |
23380 | You want a situation of some sort-- a clerkship, I suppose? |
23380 | You wo n''t let_ him_ come near when you give it, will you? |
23380 | You wo n''t let_ him_ give it me, will you? 23380 You''re hard up, rather, just now?" |
23380 | You''re not going to be married, are you? |
23380 | You''re off, are you-- eh? |
23380 | Your father does not return till late, I suppose? |
23380 | Your father is rich, is he not? |
23380 | Your lodgin''s an''t far off, are they? |
23380 | Ziza, darling, are you feeling better, my lamb? |
23380 | _ Know_ about what? |
23380 | ` Where away?'' 23380 ` Why did you deceive me, sir?'' |
23380 | After that you''ll lay in the stock-- fifty pounds''worth; and it wo n''t be sham; it''ll be real--""But where is the money to come from?" |
23380 | Ai n''t that economy gone mad? |
23380 | Any more in the house?" |
23380 | Are you able?" |
23380 | Are you alone?" |
23380 | Are_ all_ here?" |
23380 | But as I was saying, it makes one shudder to think of; and-- and-- how does your leg feel_ now_?" |
23380 | But how could-- you know it was me? |
23380 | But suppose, ma''am, your house gets alight in spite of you-- well then, the question is what''s best to do?" |
23380 | But where was David Boone all this time? |
23380 | By the way, Auberly,"said Barret, glancing over his shoulder,"Is n''t Tom Tippet a sort of connection of yours?" |
23380 | Come, what do you think of doing?" |
23380 | Could it have been thee, Hopkins? |
23380 | Could n''t you deliver your message? |
23380 | D''ye know what that is, boy?" |
23380 | D''ye understand?" |
23380 | D''you know where my office is, and what it is?" |
23380 | Dale guessed at once what it was, and ran down the staircase, calling out as he passed:"Here, Willders, Corney, Baxmore, lend a hand, will you?" |
23380 | Did n''t know you wash a poet-- eh? |
23380 | Did you hear ever of his noo machine for makin''artificial butter?" |
23380 | Do n''t that sound grand, mother?" |
23380 | Do you doubt this, reader? |
23380 | Do you imagine that your friends will continue to care for a man who cares not for himself? |
23380 | Do you know what your friend intends to do with it?" |
23380 | Do you think that_ she_ would give_ you_ up for the sake of Auberly''s dross?" |
23380 | Does Miss Tippet live here?" |
23380 | Frank made no reply for a few moments, then he said with a sad yet gratified smile--"So you refuse to be released?" |
23380 | Frank?" |
23380 | Has this foe been properly met? |
23380 | Have you anything to say to me?" |
23380 | Have you lost much?" |
23380 | Have you not received warning enough?" |
23380 | Have you seen or heard of him lately?" |
23380 | He sent out an army of boys with pots of whitewash and brushes, with directions to print in rough but large legible letters the words,"Who''s Boone?" |
23380 | He''ll be quite a loss to the neighbourhood; wo n''t he, sir?" |
23380 | He''s ill, you say?" |
23380 | History records it; nature records it; experience-- everything records it; who has the temerity, or folly, to deny it? |
23380 | How came he by the sprain?" |
23380 | How long would you have me wait-- eh? |
23380 | How many would you have?" |
23380 | How much may the profits be?" |
23380 | How was it done?" |
23380 | How would you like that, William Willders-- eh?" |
23380 | How would_ you_ like to have been carried out of a burning house in such a way by a big rough man?" |
23380 | I always forget), what was I-- oh, yes; think of a fireman seizing one round the( Cream, Willie? |
23380 | I am always extremely happy to do anything for-- yes, I suppose of course you can write, and, what d''ye call it-- count-- you can do arithmetic?" |
23380 | I have got a very comfortable lodging with-- who do you think? |
23380 | I hope that Miss Tippet is well?" |
23380 | I hope you can_ spell_, Edward, a-- I mean Thomas-- is it, or William?" |
23380 | I mean fellow-- is up to just now?" |
23380 | I s''pose Frank can get along without me for a little while-- eh?" |
23380 | I shall never,_ never_ get over it; and so little, so_ very_ little clothing on me--""How much had you on?" |
23380 | I suppose, now, if it was all sold off you would n''t have enough to pay up my loans?" |
23380 | I''m greatly in want of an intelligent lad who can use his hands; but, by the way, can you use your hands? |
23380 | In addition to all this, these weak- minded( shall we call them?) |
23380 | Is Willie at home?" |
23380 | Is it possible that anything so spruce, dignified, almost stately, could have fallen so very low? |
23380 | Is your father poor?" |
23380 | It must be a dead one-- eh?" |
23380 | It was such a funny account; you heard of it, brother( ring the bell again, dear), did n''t you?" |
23380 | It was you that asked the doctor, was n''t it, for another bottle?" |
23380 | It would only be required for a time, because I mean to-- ah, well, no matter-- but how and where is it to be got? |
23380 | It''s so difficult to read ladies''hands; they''re so abominably angular, and-- where_ are_ my specs? |
23380 | John Barret, has town life so marred your once fine intellect, that you put such a question in earnest? |
23380 | Look at her, Jim; ai n''t she like her old self?" |
23380 | Meanwhile, what is to be done for the Cattleys?" |
23380 | Mr Tippet, leaning on his bench and looking into Willie''s face with a benignant smile, said--"Done, my boy? |
23380 | No?) |
23380 | Now, d''ye know, or do the servants know, or does anybody in the house know, where the trap in the roof is?" |
23380 | Now, lad, if I were to take you in, what would you say to 5 pounds a year?" |
23380 | Now, then, who bids for the old harm- chair? |
23380 | Only I feel sort o''sorry for''em, somehow, and I''m awful anxious to see a real live fairy, even though she_ is_ ill.""When are you going?" |
23380 | Perhaps love had something to do with them-- perhaps not-- who knows? |
23380 | Pray, what does Matty stand for?" |
23380 | Rather say, where was he not? |
23380 | Shall I ask Mrs Smith to stay with you again, till we come back?" |
23380 | Shall I ring for water?" |
23380 | She observed the action, and said--"Are you going to read and pray with me, sir?" |
23380 | Sitting in my chair in dishabille, when a man-- a Man, Miss Dee--""Well, I know what a_ man_ is,"said the Eagle bitterly;"why do n''t you go on?" |
23380 | Six bob? |
23380 | Six bob? |
23380 | So now, is your heart ready to receive the flood of my sorrows?" |
23380 | So old Auberly wants to see me to- morrow forenoon?" |
23380 | Stay,"he added, in a softened tone,"have you breakfasted?" |
23380 | Strange wish-- why d''you want to be one?" |
23380 | Suppose I answer it by another: What would become of the country if all men thought and acted as you do?" |
23380 | That''s a neat sum, ai n''t it, Boone?" |
23380 | The fact is I felt nettled, for, after all, what is Miss Ward? |
23380 | The house is insured, of course?" |
23380 | This brought the slang phrase,"Does your mother know you''re out?" |
23380 | W''at''ll you''ave to- night, sir?" |
23380 | Was I going to sit there and hear him talk of Frank''s presumption as if he were a chimney- sweep?" |
23380 | Was the fireman_ very_ tall?" |
23380 | Was your mother drowned, too?" |
23380 | Well, of course,_ both_ o''the boys will go; they ca n''t help it, there''s no gittin''over that; but, then, which of''em will git the situation? |
23380 | Well, what say you about the body? |
23380 | Well, where is it?" |
23380 | What are my brains doin''night an day-- eh? |
23380 | What are you staring at, boy?" |
23380 | What d''ye bid? |
23380 | What d''ye think of it, Frank? |
23380 | What do you mean?" |
23380 | What had you for dinner?" |
23380 | What have you got to tell me; nothing serious, I hope?" |
23380 | What is your name, boy?" |
23380 | What things are you careless in?" |
23380 | What think you of it?" |
23380 | What_ do_ you call them?" |
23380 | Where are the rest o''the lads?" |
23380 | Where d''ye stop?" |
23380 | Where is it?" |
23380 | Who bids for this''ere venerable garment? |
23380 | Who may this pretty fire- raiser be?" |
23380 | Who said one- an''-seven? |
23380 | Who said six bob?" |
23380 | Why do n''t your friend speak out like a man; state what he wants it for, and get it in the regular way?" |
23380 | Why do you ask?" |
23380 | Why, what do you call the style of carrying on business that you started with seven years ago, and have practised more or less ever since?" |
23380 | Why, what''s the matter with you?" |
23380 | Why, when do you mean to stop growing?" |
23380 | Why?" |
23380 | Will you accept of this purse?" |
23380 | Wo n''t she be fit to bu''st?" |
23380 | You could n''t make me a fireman, could you, ma''am?" |
23380 | You did n''t see-- see-- any one saved, did you?" |
23380 | You do n''t sh''pose I keep a stock of''em on hand ready- made, do you-- eh?" |
23380 | You do n''t suppose I would do that, I hope?" |
23380 | You know Forest, mother, the man that we''ve heard so much of? |
23380 | You know it would never do to risk the loss of such valuable stock by fire-- eh, Boone? |
23380 | You remember it, Willie?" |
23380 | You remember my tellin''you about little Cattley and the auction, do n''t you?" |
23380 | You seem to have heard of him before, mother?" |
23380 | You talk of meeting your brother to- night at home; do you not live together?'' |
23380 | You were saying, as we came along, that your father is sterner than ever, were you not?" |
23380 | You''ll call at the station on your way home, Willie?" |
23380 | You''re not going to turn to my profession as a last resort, I hope?" |
23380 | You''re uncommon careful about that, I hope?" |
23380 | You''ve heard how he came by the other mishap?" |
23380 | ` Finished it all?'' |
23380 | ` Now,_ which_ is it?'' |
23380 | ` Your mother,''he gasped,` Mrs Willders-- my sister- in- law-- the waterman''s widow?'' |
23380 | and what about the insurance?" |
23380 | another cup, Ziza?" |
23380 | are you good at writing and ciphering?" |
23380 | caused Emma Ward to open her eyes to the utmost possible extent, and exclaim,"Where?" |
23380 | cried Miss Tippet;"was it_ your_ brother that saved Loo?" |
23380 | cried Willie, advancing and giving his brother''s hand a warm shake;"the cut head mending-- eh?" |
23380 | cried Willie;"why did n''t he_ drop_? |
23380 | cried the same stalwart fireman who had seized the small boy, stepping out and laying his hand on Hopkins''s shoulder, whereabouts is it? |
23380 | d''you mean to say that you were at the fire in-- in Holborn that night?" |
23380 | did you hear of Joe Corney, and what''s- his-- fireman''s visit to Mrs Denman? |
23380 | do n''t it? |
23380 | do you know about it, too?" |
23380 | exclaimed Miss Tippet;"do you mean to say that you will return to your dreadful profession when you recover? |
23380 | exclaimed the horrified Mrs Denman,"was she killed?" |
23380 | exclaimed the other,"what am I paid a salary for? |
23380 | he cried angrily on being startled again,"was n''t the last wan all a sham? |
23380 | how are ye?" |
23380 | how could I help it? |
23380 | how_ dare_ you, sir?" |
23380 | is she not saved? |
23380 | is that you?" |
23380 | my girl,"interrupted Mr Auberly with a frown,"nor use exclamations of any kind in my presence; what are the` some things''referred to?" |
23380 | oh, Blazes,"said Willie sadly,"has money told on you so fearfully already? |
23380 | said Frank with a smile, as he wiped his pen;"what set it alight, lad?" |
23380 | say, what is this?" |
23380 | the one with the porch before the door?" |
23380 | was he indeed at that sad fire, and did he help to put it out?" |
23380 | what d''ye mean?" |
23380 | what does she draw-- corks?" |
23380 | where?" |
23380 | wherefore?" |
23380 | who may_ you_ be?" |
23380 | you dare to defy me?" |
23380 | you have made up your mind, have you?" |
23380 | you wo n''t have it at no price? |
23380 | you''re asleep, are you, and not to be waked up-- eh? |
