| 7434 | Pa, ai n''t you most through with Joel? 7434 Polly, is n''t it?" |
| 7434 | Polly, why do n''t we ever have any? |
| 7434 | Polly, why do n''t we ever have anything but mush? |
| 7434 | Polly,called little Davie, where he had been crouching timidly in the middle of the big sled,"ca n''t we go home?" |
| 7434 | Polly,cried Joel, suddenly,"could n''t you stay behind the bushes and sing? |
| 7434 | S''pose he did? |
| 7434 | Say, Mammy, how could he, if I took it? |
| 7434 | Say, how''d you get up there? |
| 7434 | Shall I go and see? |
| 7434 | Shall you be glad, Mamsie? |
| 7434 | She stuck the putty in the holes,said Joel, very distinctly;"do n''t you understand? |
| 7434 | Should n''t you, Mammy? |
| 7434 | So you thought she''d really took my head off, did ye? |

| 7434 | That''s nice, Polly, is n''t it? 7434 The bonfire?" |
| 7434 | The same as ever,said Polly, with only half an ear for him, her mind being intent on the splendid surprise;"you know, Joel; what makes you ask?" |
| 7434 | Then I do n''t care what it is,declared Joel, turning off indifferently;"and say, Polly, what have you got for breakfast?" |
| 7434 | Then it must n''t, Polly,said Phronsie, very decidedly,"let the-- What is it Ben put in?" |
| 7434 | Then nothing can stop their fighting? |

| 7434 | Yes, where''s Joel? |
| 7434 | Yes,said Joel;"she''d put the putty in, and put it in----and----""Put the putty in?" |
| 7434 | You could n''t do without me, could you, Polly? |
| 7434 | You know we ca n''t go, so what''s the use? |
| 7434 | You soon put it down on your plate, did n''t you? |

| 7434 | And oh, Polly, you do n''t know what we do; does she, Dave?" |
| 7434 | And please may I have some, Mammy?" |
| 7434 | And the color flew back into Polly''s cheek, and Grandma Bascom kept saying,"Praise the Lord-- and who be ye, anyway?" |
| 7434 | And then everybody got very merry, and Polly said, Could they play a game? |
| 7434 | And what they would have done, no one knows, if Mrs. Beebe had n''t said,"Wo n''t you all walk out into the parlor an''set down to the table? |
| 7434 | And without wasting her breath on words, except to ask David,"Where?" |
| 7434 | And you did n''t go bareheaded, and without your coat?" |
| 7434 | Anybody goin''to Boxford? |
| 7434 | Are n''t you ashamed to get this way when Polly, poor brave girl, has been so sick? |
| 7434 | Are they safe?" |
| 7434 | At last, in a lull, Mother Pepper called,"Polly, what is this stopping at the gate? |
| 7434 | But please will you let us go home?" |
| 7434 | But the difficulty was, should it be a pink one or a white one? |
| 7434 | CIRCUS OR MENAGERIE? |
| 7434 | Ca n''t we go? |
| 7434 | Can we, Mamsie?" |
| 7434 | Did I, Mammy?" |
| 7434 | Did n''t you say his name was-- Joel?" |
| 7434 | Did you like''em?" |
| 7434 | Do n''t we, Dave?" |
| 7434 | Do n''t you remember Mamsie said you''d have to go there the next time you would n''t tell what you''d done?" |
| 7434 | Do n''t you see it? |
| 7434 | Do you hear?" |
| 7434 | Do you think they''d like that?" |
| 7434 | Do you want anything, my boy?" |
| 7434 | Do you?" |
| 7434 | Does n''t Sally know where she is?" |
| 7434 | Does she, Polly?" |

| 7434 | Fisher?" |
| 7434 | Hain''t you seen it?" |
| 7434 | How can you, Joe?" |
| 7434 | I must know; so what is it?" |
| 7434 | I was going to--""Well, tell then, at once; what were you going to do? |
| 7434 | Let me see what''s in it?" |
| 7434 | Ma, did you hear her?" |
| 7434 | Mamsie, is n''t it good that they''re going?" |
| 7434 | Mamsie, where_ did_ you get it? |
| 7434 | Mamsie--"and he turned a troubled face to her--"do you suppose God''s going to let good Mr. Blodgett''s barn burn up?" |
| 7434 | May n''t I go back, now?" |
| 7434 | May n''t we have a little play out in the orchard next Wednesday, and ca n''t Joel and David sit up a little longer to- night to talk it over? |
| 7434 | Mrs. Beebe kept coming out of the little parlor at the back of the shop, and saying,"Ai n''t you through with Joel yet, Pa?" |
| 7434 | My cent?" |
| 7434 | Now what will Mamsie say?" |
| 7434 | Now, Joel, why do n''t you have the animals now? |
| 7434 | O dear me, what can it be?" |
| 7434 | Oh, Joel, are you sure he did n''t bite you anywhere? |
| 7434 | Oh, Mammy, where did you get it?" |
| 7434 | Polly ran over to him,"Why, Davie,"she cried, getting down on the floor by his side,"do n''t you understand? |
| 7434 | So we are seeing his bonfire, ai n''t we, Mammy?" |
| 7434 | Then what would your Ma say to me? |
| 7434 | They had proceeded about a quarter of a mile, when Mr. Tisbett suddenly asked,"Want to drive, Joel? |
| 7434 | Think of Phronsie, and--""What is it, Polly?" |
| 7434 | Tisbett?" |
| 7434 | Tisbett?" |
| 7434 | Want to come and help, Joe and David?" |
| 7434 | Want to go, Marm?" |
| 7434 | Was n''t it, Dave?" |
| 7434 | We_ must_--I mean, what shall we do if we ca n''t go? |
| 7434 | Well, ca n''t either on you eat any more? |
| 7434 | What are you doin''?" |
| 7434 | What d''ye want?" |
| 7434 | What else?" |
| 7434 | What is your mother thinking of, to bring you up in this way?" |
| 7434 | What''s the matter, dear?" |
| 7434 | Which way?" |
| 7434 | Who''s fighting?" |
| 7434 | Why did n''t you let it alone?" |
| 7434 | Why did n''t you show''em to me before?" |
| 7434 | Why do n''t we ever have any pie in the little brown house, Mamsie?" |
| 7434 | Wo n''t you, Mamsie?" |
| 7434 | XX CIRCUS OR MENAGERIE? |
| 7434 | Ye hain''t never known that, hev ye, Polly?" |
| 7434 | Yes, it does look nice, does n''t it?" |
| 7434 | You ate it, did n''t you?" |
| 7434 | You know that pile of old nails that Deacon Brown said Ben might have? |
| 7434 | You''ve been playing up in the apple tree, have n''t you?" |
| 7434 | [ Illustration:"''HEY, WHAT D''YE WANT?'' |
| 7434 | [ Illustration:"OH SIR,''HE CRIED,''PLEASE DON''T WHIP JIM ANY MORE''"]"What''s your name?" |
| 7434 | and"Tell me, Polly, does a kangaroo cry this way?" |
| 7434 | are there any more of them?" |
| 7434 | begged Joel, twisting away to the other side of the bed,"and what are you feeling my legs all over for?" |
| 7434 | cried Davie, fearfully;"a snake, Joel?" |
| 7434 | cried Mr. Beebe, greatly delighted;"well, now, when those are worn out, you come and see me again, will you?" |
| 7434 | cried Polly, an awful dread at her heart, on account of the little guest, as she hung over the wreck, pulling busily at the chairs,"are you all safe?" |
| 7434 | cried Polly,"whatever can have happened to Joel?" |
| 7434 | cried his mother, with a shake;"hain''t you no more manners''n that? |
| 7434 | cried his mother;"hain''t you no manners, an''they''re company? |
| 7434 | exclaimed Polly, aghast,"whatever is the matter?" |
| 7434 | exclaimed Polly, and"What''s this light?" |
| 7434 | exclaimed Polly, clasping her hands,"whatever can we do, Mamsie, to find him?" |
| 7434 | he cried joyfully;"now we can go, Mammy, ca n''t we? |
| 7434 | screamed Joel,"now you will let him go fishing, wo n''t you?" |
| 7434 | she cried in a fright,"are you hurt?" |
| 7434 | she said with a cheery laugh,"are n''t you going to untie Mother''s bonnet- strings, Baby?" |
| 7434 | what you stoppin''down there for? |
| 7434 | whatever can it be?" |
| 7434 | where''d you get''em?" |
| 26122 | ''Much anyway?'' 26122 ''What is it-- what is it?'' |
| 26122 | A_ dog_? |
| 26122 | Acorn Street? |
| 26122 | Alexia Rhys, are n''t you perfectly ashamed to be fighting with that new boy? |
| 26122 | Alexia? |
| 26122 | And I suppose you have a family? |
| 26122 | And Jasper? 26122 And Jasper?" |
| 26122 | And Miss Salisbury announced it; why were you late, Alexia? |
| 26122 | And ca n''t I help you unpack? |
| 26122 | And did you-- did you? |
| 26122 | And do n''t you know that''s just the very reason why she wants it again? |
| 26122 | And finally he asked suddenly,''Do your folks know you''re comin''?'' 26122 And how did they know at the school where you were?" |
| 26122 | And is it possible that you have n''t seen it for yourself, Jasper? |
| 26122 | And is n''t she nice? |
| 26122 | And is this what you have interrupted me to say, at this unseasonable hour, Joel Pepper? |
| 26122 | And now you''ve such a lot of brothers, with Jasper and all those Whitney boys; oh, Polly, do n''t they scare you to death sometimes? |
| 26122 | And the girl who wanted to play on the piano? |
| 26122 | And what do you want us to do? |
| 26122 | And when did you begin to keep a dog, Joel Pepper? |
| 26122 | And where shall we all go? |
| 26122 | And why do n''t you read where you are? |
| 26122 | And, Polly, child, what is the matter? |
| 26122 | And, oh dear me, is n''t this too horrible, what Lily Cushing has done? |
| 26122 | Any other boy? |
| 26122 | Are you all right? |
| 26122 | Are you hurt? 26122 Are you hurt?" |
| 26122 | Are you mad? 26122 Are you sick, Joe?" |
| 26122 | Are you sure you will like it, Alexia? |
| 26122 | Are you sure, Polly,a light coming into her tired eyes,"that you young people would be willing to come to entertain a dull, sick, old woman?" |
| 26122 | But what will it be? |
| 26122 | But why did you promise, sister? |
| 26122 | But, Jasper,began Polly, a little white line coming around her mouth,"what would he think to have me talk to him about his lessons?" |
| 26122 | Ca n''t I come? |
| 26122 | Ca n''t somebody telephone them? |
| 26122 | Ca n''t you untie him to- day, Michael? |
| 26122 | Dave? 26122 David,"cried the instructor, catching Davie''s eye, down by the door,"do you know anything about this dog?" |
| 26122 | Did I ever tell you anything that was n''t so, Pick? |
| 26122 | Did I? |
| 26122 | Did Polly say so? |
| 26122 | Did he? 26122 Did n''t come? |
| 26122 | Did she, Polly? |
| 26122 | Did they have boys at that school? |
| 26122 | Did you ever see such a change in any one? |
| 26122 | Did you not hear me? |
| 26122 | Did you suppose Jim Corcoran lived in a palace? |
| 26122 | Did you? |
| 26122 | Do any of you know who the man was who was killed last night? |
| 26122 | Do n''t know; what''s up, King? |
| 26122 | Do n''t send him off? |
| 26122 | Do n''t you know how she claps her hands when he''s rehearsing, Polly? |
| 26122 | Do n''t you see? |
| 26122 | Do n''t you want to hear any other plans? |
| 26122 | Do you hear me, Joel Pepper? |
| 26122 | Do you mean it, Polly? |
| 26122 | Do you mind telling me all about this little affair of yours, Joe? |
| 26122 | Do you mind, Tom? 26122 Do you really, Polly?" |
| 26122 | Do you suppose he''ll tell? |
| 26122 | Do you suppose she dresses up like that every day, Silvia? |
| 26122 | Do you think I ought to go next Saturday morning out shopping, Mamsie, after I''ve been so naughty? |
| 26122 | Do you? |
| 26122 | Do you? |
| 26122 | Do you? |
| 26122 | Do? 26122 Does he so?" |
| 26122 | Does she always have them carrying around like that? |
| 26122 | Does your arm hurt you, Alexia? |
| 26122 | Eh-- what''s that? 26122 Eh-- what? |
| 26122 | Eh-- what? |
| 26122 | Everything begins next week, does n''t it, Grandpapa? |
| 26122 | Girls, is n''t it lovely that we have this splendid place where we can run, and nobody see us? |
| 26122 | Good? |
| 26122 | Got a bit of string? 26122 Ha, ha-- ain''t it? |
| 26122 | Has Madame any further commands for me? |
| 26122 | Has he got through? 26122 Has she?" |
| 26122 | Hasty? |
| 26122 | Have n''t you gotten over that nonsense yet, Marian? |
| 26122 | Have n''t you so? |
| 26122 | Have n''t you? 26122 Have you?" |
| 26122 | He''s glad to go, is n''t he, Joel? |
| 26122 | Here it is, father,he cried, rushing back and whirling the leaves--"why, what?" |
| 26122 | Hey? |
| 26122 | Hey? |
| 26122 | Honest? |
| 26122 | How are you going to help it,cried Amy Garrett dismally,"when you are in her classes? |
| 26122 | How can we, Polly? |
| 26122 | How can you, Lucy, say such perfectly dreadful things? |
| 26122 | How do you do, Cathie? |
| 26122 | How do you know I want to walk with you? |
| 26122 | How many scholars were there, Miss Salisbury? |
| 26122 | How? |
| 26122 | Hush, boys,warned Polly, hoarsely pointing to him;"is Mamsie with her?" |
| 26122 | I beg your pardon; what can I do for you, sir? |
| 26122 | I ca n''t ever remember names, if I do hear them,said Lucy,"so what is the use of my bothering to hear them, Sil?" |
| 26122 | I got cut in the little brown house once, did n''t I, Bensie? |
| 26122 | I know,said Polly,"but oh, Jasper, is n''t it just too elegant for anything, to think that Mr. Faber says it''s all right with him?" |
| 26122 | If the lessons are done, come over this evening, will you? |
| 26122 | Interesting, are n''t they? |
| 26122 | Is Dr. Marks up? |
| 26122 | Is Dr. Marks up? |
| 26122 | Is Polly sick? |
| 26122 | Is it any harder than in any other school, Tom? |
| 26122 | Is it? |
| 26122 | Is n''t he, sir? 26122 Is n''t it?" |
| 26122 | Is n''t that too fine for anything, girls? |
| 26122 | Is that so? |
| 26122 | Is that so? |
| 26122 | Is the little girl worse? |
| 26122 | It was very hard when the impatient passengers would come back into the car to ask each other,''How soon do you suppose we will get to Mayville?'' 26122 It''s all right, old boy, I verily believe,"Tom cried with sudden energy,"so brace up; what''s the use of your going to pieces, anyway?" |
| 26122 | Jasper, do you suppose? |
| 26122 | Let me, will you? |
| 26122 | Make up lessons? 26122 May I tell him so?" |
| 26122 | May we all git out and go into your barn? |
| 26122 | May we go now, dear Miss Salisbury? |
| 26122 | Miss Anstice? |
| 26122 | Mr. Clemcy? 26122 Must I tell, sir?" |
| 26122 | No, you''re not,said Clem obstinately;"we''re all her dearest friends, are n''t we, Polly? |
| 26122 | Not a really and truly piano? |
| 26122 | Not have our play? |
| 26122 | Not me? |
| 26122 | Nothing? 26122 Now what book?" |
| 26122 | Now what shall we do? |
| 26122 | Now why ca n''t it be broken? |
| 26122 | Now, Joel,he said,"you know this payment comes every week out of your allowance for this dog''s keeping, eh? |
| 26122 | Now, do you want mother to tie it on? |
| 26122 | Now, what will they be, Polly? |
| 26122 | Now, would n''t you put on a pink one to- day, Alexia? |
| 26122 | Oh Alexia,cried Phronsie in great excitement,"will you-- could you get''The Little Yellow Duck''?" |
| 26122 | Oh Jenk, is that you? 26122 Oh Polly, it''s too bad to ask,--were you going to study?" |
| 26122 | Oh Polly,cried Jasper, gaining her side,"ca n''t we help?" |
| 26122 | Oh Polly,cried Jasper,"was there some one killed?" |
| 26122 | Oh Tom, are you there? |
| 26122 | Oh then, some one can go to the nearest station, and telephone, ca n''t they, sir? |
| 26122 | Oh, I know-- but where did he live? |
| 26122 | Oh, Jasper,she cried,"can we all get into your den?" |
| 26122 | Oh, Polly Pepper, where_ are_ you? |
| 26122 | Oh, Polly, are n''t your tiptoes tired? |
| 26122 | Oh, are you sure you are not vexed, Pickering? 26122 Oh, are you worse? |
| 26122 | Oh, beg pardon, and may we girls have Polly? |
| 26122 | Oh, ca n''t we go out to see? |
| 26122 | Oh, ca n''t you see? 26122 Oh, can we?" |
| 26122 | Oh, do you suppose he will marry her? |
| 26122 | Oh, do you want to learn to play on the piano? |
| 26122 | Oh, has anything happened? |
| 26122 | Oh, have you a toothache? |
| 26122 | Oh, is it broken? |
| 26122 | Oh, is n''t that perfectly splendid? |
| 26122 | Oh, is she worse? |
| 26122 | Oh, is that Pepper? |
| 26122 | Oh, may I go too? |
| 26122 | Oh, may I sit here? |
| 26122 | Oh, may we, father, may we? |
| 26122 | Oh, must you go? |
| 26122 | Oh, was n''t that spin just delicious? |
| 26122 | Oh, what good is it to worry him? |
| 26122 | Oh, what is it Jasper? |
| 26122 | Oh, what is it, Jasper? |
| 26122 | Oh, what is it, Joe? |
| 26122 | Oh, what is it? |
| 26122 | Oh, what is it? |
| 26122 | Oh, what is its name? |
| 26122 | Oh, what shall I do? 26122 Oh, where''s Polly?" |
| 26122 | Oh, why ca n''t we, Jasper? 26122 Oh, why do you?" |
| 26122 | Oh, you have concluded to come? |
| 26122 | Pepper-- don''t you know Pepper? |
| 26122 | Pickering here? |
| 26122 | Polly, did you know? 26122 Polly, you must,"said Jasper, for Phronsie was trying to turn in her mother''s lap, and saying in a worried way,"Where''s Polly? |
| 26122 | Polly,--Alexia gave a little push, as she leaned over,--"isn''t it perfectly dreadful to be mewed up here in this way? |
| 26122 | Polly-- Jasper-- where are you? |
| 26122 | Polly-- what is it? |
| 26122 | Polly? 26122 Pretty quick work, eh, Bill?" |
| 26122 | Pretty? |
| 26122 | Really? |
| 26122 | Rose Harding,looking at the girl just back of her,"ca n''t you eat over your own lap, pray tell?" |
| 26122 | Sarah, why could n''t you have kept still? |
| 26122 | Say, Alexia, you do n''t think so, do you? |
| 26122 | Say, Ben, did she? |
| 26122 | Say, if that family has got all that richness, what do you want the club to do? |
| 26122 | Say, where''s Jenk? 26122 School? |
| 26122 | Sewing? 26122 Shall I make her up a bunch, Miss Mary?" |
| 26122 | Shall you really? |
| 26122 | Should n''t we tire you? |
| 26122 | Sure? |
| 26122 | Take my advice; you''ll get your picnic all right; then where would you be with your cakes all eaten up? |
| 26122 | Tell me this very minute, Joel Pepper,she commanded,"what do you mean?" |
| 26122 | Tell on, Alexia; what do you know? |
| 26122 | That old sewing thing where they make clothes for the poor little darkeys down South? |
| 26122 | That so? |
| 26122 | That''s her name,said Tom, nodding at her;"Jemima Fox-- isn''t that a sweet name, Phronsie?" |
| 26122 | That''s likely, is n''t it? |
| 26122 | The stage? |
| 26122 | Then why could n''t you hold some of your rehearsals here? |
| 26122 | There now,crowding them in back of Alexia''s restless head,"is n''t that fine?" |
| 26122 | Think? |
| 26122 | To Moose Island? |
| 26122 | Um,said Berry,"what''s up now, Jenk?" |
| 26122 | Unlock the back door? |
| 26122 | Up the lightning conductor? |
| 26122 | Vexed? |
| 26122 | Was any other boy with you? |
| 26122 | Was n''t it? |
| 26122 | Was that old thing a Salisbury? |
| 26122 | We boys? |
| 26122 | Well, Chairman-- Polly, I mean--Alexia flew into position--"what''s the next list?" |
| 26122 | Well, I do n''t care; and she''s going round the world to- morrow, so what does it signify? |
| 26122 | Well, Polly, then what ought to come next? 26122 Well, Polly, you are going to put off toasting the marshmallows, are n''t you, till to- morrow night, when Pick can probably come?" |
| 26122 | Well, Polly-- how do you do, Cathie? 26122 Well, did you suppose I was going to see you all sprinting off and having such fun, and not try it too? |
| 26122 | Well, now what are we to give her as a wedding present? |
| 26122 | Well, now what number? |
| 26122 | Well, well, Pennell,he exclaimed,"you here?" |
| 26122 | Well, what are you going to do with it? |
| 26122 | Well, what did you want to see me for, Pepper? |
| 26122 | Well, what else? |
| 26122 | Well, what would you say if you should be told that your teacher was going to be married? |
| 26122 | Well, who did, then? |
| 26122 | Well, who has one? 26122 Well, who would n''t?" |
| 26122 | Well, you must acknowledge, Tom, that I want to see something of you, else why would I have brought you home, pray tell? |
| 26122 | Well,said Polly,"I''ll try; and what then, Jasper?" |
| 26122 | Were the other girls who went to Silvia''s, at school? |
| 26122 | Were you Amelia? |
| 26122 | What are you going to do with that dog? |
| 26122 | What are you going to do, Jenk? |
| 26122 | What are you going to do, sir? |
| 26122 | What can I do, Jasper? |
| 26122 | What can it be? |
| 26122 | What did you bring him home for, Joe? |
| 26122 | What did you fellows touch me for? |
| 26122 | What do you know? |
| 26122 | What do you mean, Jasper? |
| 26122 | What do you mean, Jasper? |
| 26122 | What do you want, Polly? |
| 26122 | What is going to happen? |
| 26122 | What is it, Alexia? |
| 26122 | What is it, Alexia? |
| 26122 | What is it, Joe? |
| 26122 | What is it, Pet? |
| 26122 | What is it, my child? |
| 26122 | What is it-- oh, Miss Baker, what is the reason we''re stopping? |
| 26122 | What is it? |
| 26122 | What is it? |
| 26122 | What is it? |
| 26122 | What is it? |
| 26122 | What is the matter? |
| 26122 | What is the matter? |
| 26122 | What is your name? |
| 26122 | What makes it? |
| 26122 | What makes you shake so when you laugh, Battles? |
| 26122 | What next? |
| 26122 | What pin was it, Sally? |
| 26122 | What was his name-- this brakeman''s? |
| 26122 | What''s a fellow to do without you, Joe? |
| 26122 | What''s a grampus? |
| 26122 | What''s all the row about? |
| 26122 | What''s famous? |
| 26122 | What''s got into the beggar? |
| 26122 | What''s lingo? |
| 26122 | What''s scrawny? |
| 26122 | What''s that? |
| 26122 | What''s the matter with you, anyway? |
| 26122 | What''s the matter with you? |
| 26122 | What''s the matter? |
| 26122 | What''s the row? |
| 26122 | What''s this, Mrs. Fox? 26122 What''s up, Pepper?" |
| 26122 | What''s up, Pepper? |
| 26122 | What''s-- what''s the matter, Joe? |
| 26122 | What? 26122 What? |
| 26122 | What? |
| 26122 | What? |
| 26122 | What? |
| 26122 | What_ are_ the health authorities about, to allow such atrocious old holes? 26122 What_ do_ you mean?" |
| 26122 | What_ is_ the matter? |
| 26122 | What_ shall_ we do? |
| 26122 | Whatever do you mean, Polly Pepper? |
| 26122 | When did you get that dog? |
| 26122 | When-- when? |
| 26122 | Where are they going? |
| 26122 | Where are you going, Polly? |
| 26122 | Where are you going? |
| 26122 | Where in time are your shoes? |
| 26122 | Where is Pick? |
| 26122 | Where is she, Mamsie? |
| 26122 | Where is she? |
| 26122 | Where is the thing? |
| 26122 | Where_ are_ we going? |
| 26122 | Where_ have_ you been? |
| 26122 | Which one is''t? 26122 Who do you think is engaged to Mr. John Clemcy?" |
| 26122 | Who is he? 26122 Who is that boy?" |
| 26122 | Who jumped first of all? |
| 26122 | Who''s fighting now with the new boy? |
| 26122 | Who''s talking now,cried Clem triumphantly,"and making a noise?" |
| 26122 | Who,she demanded, hurrying to the centre of the apartment, a red spot on either cheek,"has done this?" |
| 26122 | Who-- Dave? |
| 26122 | Who? 26122 Who?" |
| 26122 | Who? |
| 26122 | Who? |
| 26122 | Why do n''t you boys do something for those lads in there? |
| 26122 | Why do n''t you take boys at our school, Miss Salisbury? |
| 26122 | Why do you boys rush in, in this manner? |
| 26122 | Why does n''t she drop that dirty old cat? |
| 26122 | Why not, pray tell? |
| 26122 | Why should we? |
| 26122 | Why, Ben? |
| 26122 | Why, Bensie? |
| 26122 | Why, I''ve just thought-- you do n''t suppose Miss Salisbury will appoint the day for the picnic, do you, while my arm is lame? |
| 26122 | Why, Joel, why? |
| 26122 | Why, Joey Pepper, did you think for an instant that any one blamed you? |
| 26122 | Why, we''ll give it for money-- father, may we, in the drawing- room? 26122 Why, you have n''t ever been to any other place for your picnic, have you, Polly?" |
| 26122 | Why? |
| 26122 | Will you please tell me-- do you know who the poor man was who was killed? |
| 26122 | Wo n''t he pay attention to what the teachers write to him, Jasper? |
| 26122 | Wo n''t let you? 26122 Wo n''t? |
| 26122 | Would I what? |
| 26122 | Would n''t you like me to smooth your hair, Alexia? |
| 26122 | Would you-- I mean, do you want-- oh, Mrs. Sterling, would you like us to come here some time to recite something to you? |
| 26122 | Would you-- oh, might I unlock the-- the back door? |
| 26122 | Yes, and tear their-- why, what in this world are we stopping for? |
| 26122 | Yes, indeed,answered Polly;"why, where are they?" |
| 26122 | Yes, just sit on that individual, will you, Jasper? |
| 26122 | Yes, well, now what would he say? |
| 26122 | Yes, why do n''t you, Jasper? |
| 26122 | Yes-- er-- Jenk, were going to settle it that night? |
| 26122 | Yes; but what of it? |
| 26122 | Yes? |
| 26122 | You did n''t have to sew at that school, did you, Miss Salisbury? |
| 26122 | You did n''t see? |
| 26122 | You do n''t mean that Pickering Dodge will be expelled? |
| 26122 | You do n''t mean that he thinks Pick will get in without conditions? |
| 26122 | You do n''t mean-- you ca n''t mean, that Pickering will be dropped, Jasper? |
| 26122 | You have n''t broken your jaw, Pick? |
| 26122 | You see,said David, the tears still rolling down his cheeks,"that-- oh dear!--Joel was gone, and--""How did you know Joel was gone?" |
| 26122 | You''ll forgive us all, wo n''t you, Miss Anstice, if we did n''t love you enough? |
| 26122 | You''ve had a bee, have n''t you,asked Pickering,"or something of that sort? |
| 26122 | _ Came out rightly_? 26122 _ What_?" |
| 26122 | ''Did ye s''pose I''d desert that child?'' |
| 26122 | ''Hain''t your folks no sense to let a young thing come out in that way?'' |
| 26122 | Alexia ran over in her mind everything for which she could, by any possibility, be congratulated; and finding nothing, she said,"What for?" |
| 26122 | And Mrs. Whitney, coming over the stairs, saying,"Well, Cousin Eunice, did you have a pleasant journey?" |
| 26122 | And he looked so horribly disappointed, that old Mr. King said,"Why do n''t you take him, Jasper, along with us?" |
| 26122 | And she flashed back,"Did you suppose I would?" |
| 26122 | And she jumped up, and said,''Oh, have you hurt your arm?'' |
| 26122 | And then all was bustle and confusion enough, as how could it be helped with all those boys getting off on such an expedition? |
| 26122 | And we will always keep the anniversary of that picnic, that blessed day, wo n''t we?" |
| 26122 | And what does he say?" |
| 26122 | And where is Joel?" |
| 26122 | And where''s Polly?" |
| 26122 | And, do you know, the thing I''ve longed for all my life was a watch and chain like this? |
| 26122 | At last the conductor came through, and he met a storm of inquiries, all asking the same question,''How soon will we get to Mayville?'' |
| 26122 | Be still, ca n''t you?" |
| 26122 | But Miss Salisbury, to whom the precious parcel had been intrusted, said suddenly,"Why do n''t you give it to her yourselves, girls?" |
| 26122 | But what is there?" |
| 26122 | But your family, little girl-- how can we reach them?" |
| 26122 | By the way, Polly, Jasper made a good speech now, did n''t he?" |
| 26122 | Can you not guess?" |
| 26122 | Could you, sir?" |
| 26122 | Do you hear me?" |
| 26122 | Do you know, Jane?" |
| 26122 | Faber?" |
| 26122 | Fisher?" |
| 26122 | Harrow_?" |
| 26122 | Have n''t you heard?" |
| 26122 | Have you seen him, Phronsie?" |
| 26122 | He looked as if he cared less, and was about to slam down the window, when Mr. King asked,"Does anybody in this office know?" |
| 26122 | How can she keep it after she is married?" |
| 26122 | How could you think it, Alexia?" |
| 26122 | It is clearly understood, Joel?" |
| 26122 | Just then in rushed Polly and Jasper, surrounding him, and in a minute,"Oh, is Tom sick?" |
| 26122 | Let me see, what shall it be about?" |
| 26122 | Mamsie, what is it?" |
| 26122 | May I?" |
| 26122 | Meantime a voice said,"What is it?" |
| 26122 | Not daring to breathe, but clutching the racket tightly, and with one eye on Berry, Jenk cried again in a loud whisper,"Sure, Berry?" |
| 26122 | Now answer me-- yes or no-- was any other boy with you?" |
| 26122 | Now then, how is our little friend here?" |
| 26122 | Now, what do you think of that, Dave Pepper?" |
| 26122 | Now, why did you not come and tell me or sister at once about it?" |
| 26122 | Oh, Joel, what shall I do? |
| 26122 | Oh, Polly, when do you suppose we can ever start?" |
| 26122 | Oh, do you suppose we''ve hurt it?" |
| 26122 | Old Mr. King heard her sigh at his side, and he cried,"Well, what else?" |
| 26122 | Old Mr. King was asking him for the third time,"You found out all about poor Jim''s family, eh?" |
| 26122 | Polly and Jasper looked so very decidedly"Oh, may we go too?" |
| 26122 | Quite near, I presume?" |
| 26122 | Say, Polly, are n''t we?" |
| 26122 | See here, where''s your Cæsar?" |
| 26122 | Should she run out of the room, and leave this dreadful old woman that every one in the house was tired of? |
| 26122 | So Polly said,"Oh, would she like to have us, Miss Salisbury?" |
| 26122 | So you went out with Beresford to find Joel, eh?" |
| 26122 | So your mother and I-- we do, do n''t we, dear?" |
| 26122 | Then she thought,"Oh, what did I say? |
| 26122 | Then she turned her cap- frills full on him, and said in a tone of great displeasure,"What_ is_ the meaning of all this?" |
| 26122 | There, you see this lace?" |
| 26122 | Very sure?" |
| 26122 | Was anything said about it, Polly?" |
| 26122 | We are fine friends, are n''t we, Phronsie?" |
| 26122 | We are only five miles out, but--""Five miles?" |
| 26122 | We can go right after school, ca n''t we?" |
| 26122 | Well, I suppose she was cross as two sticks because he did n''t come, was n''t she, Polly? |
| 26122 | Well, now, Polly, what shall we do? |
| 26122 | Well, now, girls, what shall I do? |
| 26122 | Well, now-- hem-- Mr. Potter,"he said aloud,"and where do you live? |
| 26122 | What are you talking about?" |
| 26122 | What did he look like, Polly?" |
| 26122 | What have I got to give you?" |
| 26122 | What is it, Miss Seymour?" |
| 26122 | What is it, Polly?" |
| 26122 | What is the reason one can eat so very little at a picnic, I wonder?" |
| 26122 | What shall I do? |
| 26122 | What shall we do to raise money?" |
| 26122 | What shall we do with such a lot of boys?" |
| 26122 | What shall we do?" |
| 26122 | What was one broken vase, after all? |
| 26122 | What would your grandfather, Mr. King, say to such a thing, Polly Pepper?" |
| 26122 | What''s gone, Joe?" |
| 26122 | What_ can_ we do?" |
| 26122 | Where are the health authorities, I should like to know, to let such abominations exist? |
| 26122 | Where in thunder is it?" |
| 26122 | Who says I ca n''t pay the beggar back?" |
| 26122 | Who wants to haul him over?" |
| 26122 | Why not?" |
| 26122 | Will you go, Phronsie?" |
| 26122 | Will you please have her come up here? |
| 26122 | Will you, Polly, my child?" |
| 26122 | Would the doctor ever come? |
| 26122 | XIX THE GRAND ENTERTAINMENT"Ought we to, Mamsie?" |
| 26122 | XVI NEW PLANS"Polly,"said Jasper,"could you come into the den?" |
| 26122 | You did bring''em this year, did n''t you?" |
| 26122 | You have n''t, Berry?" |
| 26122 | You will, wo n''t you?" |
| 26122 | and how did you think of it?" |
| 26122 | and"Why did n''t I think of that?" |
| 26122 | asked David in astonishment,"and where''s Joel?" |
| 26122 | asked Polly, poking into a tuft of grass beneath the steps,"your blue one?" |
| 26122 | called Jasper over the stairs,"where are you?" |
| 26122 | cried Polly,"and had he any children?" |
| 26122 | cried the girls who were going to sit up to study,"now is n''t this just as hateful as it can be?" |
| 26122 | did you ever get left?" |
| 26122 | exclaimed Alexia, seizing her with the well hand,"did you suppose I''d be such a selfish old pig as to drag you off from those children of yours?" |
| 26122 | exclaimed Alexia; and,"How do you know she''ll wear the black silk gown to- morrow, Amy?" |
| 26122 | exclaimed Polly with a sorry droop to the bright head, and clasping her hands,"could you, Dr. Pennell, tell me anything more?" |
| 26122 | has the beggar finished?" |
| 26122 | is she, Polly?" |
| 26122 | is that Polly Pepper?" |
| 26122 | repeated Mr. King, wrinkling his brows,"and where may that be, pray tell?" |
| 26122 | repeated Polly,"Oh, where? |
| 26122 | she cried;"Oh, Miss Baker"--the doctor had rushed off to other possible sufferers--"and tell them no one is hurt;--I mean seriously?" |
| 26122 | she exclaimed,"do n''t you ever get tired of everlastingly dressing those dolls, Phronsie?" |
| 26122 | then, was it right? |
| 26122 | they cried,"are you coming-- can you really go?" |
| 26122 | what is it?" |
| 26122 | what ought we to do, Polly?" |
| 26122 | what shall I do?" |
| 26122 | what_ are_ you doing? |
| 26122 | what_ shall_ we do?" |
| 26122 | where are you going?" |
| 26122 | where is the chap?" |
| 26122 | where_ can_ it be?" |
| 26122 | where_ is_ that hat?" |
| 26122 | which one of my scholars can have forgotten herself enough to touch a thing?" |
| 26122 | who has taken it? |
| 26122 | who?" |
| 26122 | who?" |
| 26122 | why is n''t everything just right, so that they all could hear it?" |
| 6987 | A little basket of string; is n''t it funny, and where did you get it? |
| 6987 | All right,said Polly, glad to think there was anything she could really do to please the little old earl,"but would your mother like it, Tom?" |
| 6987 | And I say, Polly,--for now they had scrambled up to the two girls,--"isn''t there room for us on that cloud too?" |
| 6987 | And Jasper can, too, ca n''t he, Grandpapa? 6987 And Polly, now--"asked old Mr. King, cautiously,"and Jasper-- how were they feeling?" |
| 6987 | And ca n''t she come out, to- day? |
| 6987 | And can I see the cows? |
| 6987 | And do you own this mountain, anyway? |
| 6987 | And do you think that I will mind in the least what that beastly doctor says? |
| 6987 | And has it a little white tent on the side, just like my mountain here? |
| 6987 | And how many did you, Polly? |
| 6987 | And how round and yellow they are,said Polly;"just like pumpkins, are n''t they? |
| 6987 | And is n''t Jasper coming back? |
| 6987 | And is n''t it better than a stuffy old carriage? |
| 6987 | And is n''t it good? |
| 6987 | And so you like that, hey? |
| 6987 | And the show is over,said Tom,"why should n''t they run?" |
| 6987 | And we''ll stay over night, father,cried Jasper,"wo n''t we?" |
| 6987 | And what old party are you? |
| 6987 | And wo n''t he feel badly then, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | And you are sorry, Grandpapa dear? |
| 6987 | And you''ll be all well, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | And, oh, Grandpapa, ca n''t we go to Fontainebleau to- day? |
| 6987 | Any room here, Tom, for mother? |
| 6987 | Anybody who will trot round with a kodak hanging to his neck by a villanous strap-- can''t be--"Who''s got a villanous strap hanging to his neck? |
| 6987 | Anything the matter? |
| 6987 | Apple tree at the back? |
| 6987 | Are n''t they most beautiful? |
| 6987 | Are n''t those pictures pretty? |
| 6987 | Are n''t you afraid to leave Polly with her? |
| 6987 | Are there any little children there? |
| 6987 | Are they? |
| 6987 | Are you sick, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | Are you sick, Polly? |
| 6987 | As if what, Polly? |
| 6987 | Awkward? 6987 Bless me, did I really do that?" |
| 6987 | Bless me-- are those your toes, young man? |
| 6987 | But I can not possibly accept it,groaned old Mr. King;"do n''t you see, child, after treating him so? |
| 6987 | But how did you first hear of the fire? |
| 6987 | But she would feel dreadfully for you to send it back, for do n''t you see, father, that would hurt his feelings? 6987 But they are n''t half as nice as ours will be,"whispered Jasper;"how many did you take, Polly?" |
| 6987 | But we ought to see everything,said Polly,"ought n''t we, Grandpapa, when we''ve come so far to see it?" |
| 6987 | But what can we do now, Polly? |
| 6987 | Ca n''t he breathe under the water? |
| 6987 | Ca n''t we? 6987 Ca n''t you make a plain statement, and enlighten us without all this noise and confusion, pray tell?" |
| 6987 | Ca n''t you reconsider it now? |
| 6987 | Can I-- I''d like-- to see my Grandfather, do n''t you know? |
| 6987 | Crying? 6987 Dear me, did I?" |
| 6987 | Dear me, do they have to take their shoes off before they go in the house? |
| 6987 | Dear me, the Broek women have something to do, do n''t they, to keep everything so shiny and clean? |
| 6987 | Dear me, who was it that painted that, Jasper? 6987 Did he say that?" |
| 6987 | Did he, Jasper? |
| 6987 | Did n''t I, though? |
| 6987 | Did n''t you expect it? |
| 6987 | Did n''t you say you wanted to find something, dear? |
| 6987 | Did n''t you suppose they would be? |
| 6987 | Did you ask him, Mamma? |
| 6987 | Did you ever see anything so fascinating? |
| 6987 | Did you like it, Phronsie? |
| 6987 | Did you pick up some of that snow? |
| 6987 | Did you see Phronsie''s face, Jasper, when that light burst out? |
| 6987 | Did you? |
| 6987 | Do I what? |
| 6987 | Do n''t I know? 6987 Do n''t the houses lean over queerly?" |
| 6987 | Do n''t the little Dutch children keep them on? |
| 6987 | Do n''t you know? |
| 6987 | Do n''t you like it, Polly? |
| 6987 | Do n''t you remember how cold it was up on the Rigi, and that was about nine thousand feet lower? |
| 6987 | Do n''t you see it''s got your name on it? |
| 6987 | Do tell me, Jasper, you did bring that, did n''t you? |
| 6987 | Do they live in the woods? |
| 6987 | Do they? |
| 6987 | Do you mean a peasant doll to add to the collection? |
| 6987 | Do you paint? |
| 6987 | Do you play chess, I say? |
| 6987 | Do you really want to go in a dirty old tram- car, Phronsie, instead of in a carriage? |
| 6987 | Do you, Polly? 6987 Does he?" |
| 6987 | Does your head feel better? |
| 6987 | Draughts? |
| 6987 | Eccentric? 6987 Eh-- oh, what?" |
| 6987 | Eh-- what? |
| 6987 | Eh? 6987 Eh? |
| 6987 | Eh? |
| 6987 | Eh? |
| 6987 | Every mountain is bigger, is n''t it, Polly? |
| 6987 | Fanny adores such things, do n''t you, dear? |
| 6987 | Fanny, are you wild? 6987 Fanny, how often must I tell you to wear gloves on shipboard?" |
| 6987 | Fifteen times around make a mile, do n''t they, Jasper? |
| 6987 | Flies? |
| 6987 | Get away, will you? |
| 6987 | Gold? 6987 Goodness me, Jasper, what are you thinking of to ask such a question, after this pull up here? |
| 6987 | Grandpapa, dear, may I speak to you a minute? |
| 6987 | Grandpapa, has he got any little whales? |
| 6987 | Grandpapa, where is it,--the Hook of Holland? |
| 6987 | Grandpapa, why is n''t that boy nice to that poor old man? |
| 6987 | Grandpapa,Phronsie prattled on,"that looks just like a little tent up there-- a little white tent; does n''t it, Grandpapa dear?" |
| 6987 | Grandpapa,asked Phronsie, laying her hand on his knee,"can I have this very same little house next time we come?" |
| 6987 | Grandpapa,asked Polly, suddenly, from the centre of the group,"what makes it so very warm up here, when we are all surrounded by snow?" |
| 6987 | Grandpapa,said Phronsie, pulling at his hand gently, as they walked slowly up and down the deck,"does your head ache?" |
| 6987 | Grandpapa,she whispered, pulling his hand gently to attract attention,"may that little boy and girl come, too, and hear about your whales?" |
| 6987 | Grandpapa,suddenly cried Phronsie, who had n''t taken her eyes from the man''s face,"what are you going to do-- where is he going?" |
| 6987 | Had n''t we better go? |
| 6987 | Have n''t I told you he was awful handsome? 6987 Have n''t those Pepper children got a good berth?" |
| 6987 | Have the goodness to put a string around it, will you? |
| 6987 | Have you found her? |
| 6987 | Here you, ca n''t you tell the name of that donkey? |
| 6987 | Here-- where are you two going? |
| 6987 | Hey, here, what are you about? |
| 6987 | Hey-- what? |
| 6987 | Hey-- who are you-- and what are you listening there for-- hey? |
| 6987 | Hey? |
| 6987 | How are you now, father? |
| 6987 | How can she help it, Polly? |
| 6987 | How can you ask it, Jasper? 6987 How can you?" |
| 6987 | How did she know? |
| 6987 | How did the pin look? |
| 6987 | How did you ever do it? |
| 6987 | How do you know she is n''t with Matilda, Polly? |
| 6987 | How else would you go, Jasper? |
| 6987 | How is it wrong? |
| 6987 | How is that, Tom, for an outing? 6987 I believe they do,"said Jasper,"but it is n''t like home miles, is it, Polly?" |
| 6987 | I mean if I may go with her? 6987 I think there is a round board under the cap,"she confided to Jasper when once out of doors;"how else could they be pulled so tight? |
| 6987 | I will dress Polly Pepper in a twinkling, Mamsie,declared Polly, laughing merrily;"O dear me, where_ is_ my other stocking?" |
| 6987 | If he had, why should he run in this fashion when I was just asking him where he lived? |
| 6987 | In the little brown where? |
| 6987 | Is Polly sick? |
| 6987 | Is it as big as my mountain here? |
| 6987 | Is it down there, Mamsie? |
| 6987 | Is it just exactly the same? |
| 6987 | Is it your birthday too? 6987 Is it?" |
| 6987 | Is n''t he common and horrid? |
| 6987 | Is n''t it good to take a long stretch? 6987 Is n''t it nice to think they do?" |
| 6987 | Is n''t it, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | Is n''t this just richness? |
| 6987 | Is that really so? |
| 6987 | Is that so? |
| 6987 | Is that so? |
| 6987 | Is the park as big as that, Tom? |
| 6987 | Is there, Pet? |
| 6987 | It is a swarm, is n''t it? |
| 6987 | It is all perfectly splendid, Grandpapa; but oh, I mean,_ did_ you hear what that lady said? |
| 6987 | It''s just like buying things for Christmas, is n''t it, Jasper? |
| 6987 | It_ is_ beautiful, is n''t it? |
| 6987 | Jasper, do you suppose the children can have a good time here? |
| 6987 | Jasper, what_ shall_ we do? |
| 6987 | Just as the omnibuses in London are all covered over with posters,said Polly;"were n''t they funny, Jasper?" |
| 6987 | Lady? 6987 Like it?" |
| 6987 | Mamsie, do n''t these Dutch women do up things well, though? |
| 6987 | Mamsie, what is it? 6987 Mamsie,"said Polly,"I do n''t think Grandpapa has kept from doing anything he could to make us happy, do you, Mamsie? |
| 6987 | Marken? |
| 6987 | May I carry her? |
| 6987 | May I, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | May my little granddaughter and I join you in a walk? |
| 6987 | No,said Phronsie,"only where is the hook, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | Not coming back? 6987 Now tell us, was n''t he the most horrible old bore?" |
| 6987 | Now what in the world are you talking of? |
| 6987 | Now, do n''t you want to get off? |
| 6987 | Now, father, do n''t you like it? |
| 6987 | Now, how about the woollen stockings? |
| 6987 | Now, then, what will you have, Polly? |
| 6987 | Now,said Mother Fisher, with a great satisfaction in her voice,"may we sit down here on this bench, Mrs. Selwyn, and have that talk?" |
| 6987 | O dear me, how could I say anything? |
| 6987 | O dear me,said Adela, quite impressed;"well, what makes them not sag any more?" |
| 6987 | O dear me-- oh, what shall I do? |
| 6987 | O dear, dear, ca n''t we help them? |
| 6987 | O dear, did I knock that over? |
| 6987 | Oh, Adela, how_ could_ you? |
| 6987 | Oh, Fanny, why ca n''t you stay? 6987 Oh, Grandpapa, must we go?" |
| 6987 | Oh, Grandpapa, must we really go to bed? |
| 6987 | Oh, Grandpapa, what are they? |
| 6987 | Oh, Jasper, do they really beat each other? |
| 6987 | Oh, Jasper, have you the green one done? |
| 6987 | Oh, Jasper,Polly was saying,"did you really speak to me?" |
| 6987 | Oh, Mamsie, you did n''t think I could put those off? |
| 6987 | Oh, Mamsie,begged Phronsie,"may n''t Polly wear her white one? |
| 6987 | Oh, Mrs. Henderson, and do n''t forget to take over the new cap just as soon as you can, will you? |
| 6987 | Oh, Polly, did n''t you get more than that? |
| 6987 | Oh, Polly, do you see the windmills? |
| 6987 | Oh, Polly, look,said Jasper,"does n''t Amsterdam look fine?" |
| 6987 | Oh, about a dog, you wanted, did you? |
| 6987 | Oh, are you going out? |
| 6987 | Oh, ca n''t we go out right away and begin to buy the presents? |
| 6987 | Oh, dear Mrs. Henderson, do n''t you see it on the floor? |
| 6987 | Oh, did it hurt you? |
| 6987 | Oh, do you ever hunt rabbits? |
| 6987 | Oh, father,exclaimed Jasper, in dismay,"must we go in carriages?" |
| 6987 | Oh, is n''t he big, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | Oh, is that it? |
| 6987 | Oh, is that you, Master Tom? |
| 6987 | Oh, may I carry her home, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | Oh, no, Grandpapa,cried Polly,"I''d so much rather you told her-- please do, dear Grandfather?" |
| 6987 | Oh, sir,Polly lifted her face, flooded with rosy colour up to her brown hair,"if you only will forgive me?" |
| 6987 | Oh, that dreadful boy,said Fanny, carelessly, stretching out in her steamer chair comfortably;"well, who cares? |
| 6987 | Oh, what can we do? |
| 6987 | Oh, what is it, Mamsie-- Is anything the matter with Papa- Doctor? |
| 6987 | Oh, what is it? |
| 6987 | Oh, where is she, Grandpapa dear? |
| 6987 | Oh, will you help me? 6987 Oh, yes, yes, Grandpapa, please"--Phronsie beat her hands softly together--"to ride on top; may we,_ dear_ Grandpapa?" |
| 6987 | Oh,cried Polly, as the little group drew her and Mamsie into their arms,"are we all here?" |
| 6987 | Oh,said Phronsie, much mystified,"and does he go to school?" |
| 6987 | Oh,_ may_ we stay and hear it? |
| 6987 | Ought not to what? |
| 6987 | Our Baedekers will be a sight when we get home, wo n''t they, Polly? |
| 6987 | Phronsie, is your saddle all right? 6987 Phronsie,"Polly bent over and whispered close to the wet little cheek,"do n''t you see Grandpapa is feeling badly? |
| 6987 | Polly, where has the pretty red and pink gone to? |
| 6987 | Polly,he said abruptly,"do you know what I mean to do?" |
| 6987 | Polly,said Jasper, in a low voice,"it is n''t quite right, is it, to disturb the party now? |
| 6987 | Polly,said Phronsie, pulling her hand gently, as she peered up into her face,"are you looking at it?" |
| 6987 | Pray, what is the subject? |
| 6987 | Say, Grandpapa, what makes it? |
| 6987 | See here, Polly Pepper, do you play chess? |
| 6987 | Shall I help you? |
| 6987 | Shall I? |
| 6987 | She means the Hook of Holland,burst out Polly,"do n''t you, Phronsie pet?" |
| 6987 | She would if there were a cat to be found,said Polly;"do n''t you believe, Jasper, but what she would?" |
| 6987 | Should I, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | Sister? 6987 So we could,"cried Jasper;"how would that do, Tom?" |
| 6987 | So you came after your old Grand- daddy, did you? |
| 6987 | Sorry? |
| 6987 | Stay over night? |
| 6987 | Tell me,she begged,"what is it, Grandpapa?" |
| 6987 | The children? |
| 6987 | Then he has n''t any little children? |
| 6987 | Then you can overcome your dislike to Paris enough to go there? |
| 6987 | Then you really will come? |
| 6987 | Then you will be all well, Polly? |
| 6987 | There are forty of those bells, are n''t there? |
| 6987 | There it is, Grandpapa,she cried, clapping her hands in delight,"the very littlest of all, and is n''t it beautiful, Grandpapa, dear?" |
| 6987 | They are terribly common people,said Fanny, her aristocratic nose well in the air,"are n''t they, Mamma? |
| 6987 | They look just like the big sunbonnets that Grandma Bascom always wore when she went out to feed her hens, do n''t they, Jasper? |
| 6987 | They''re awfully common people, are n''t they, Mamma,--those Selwyns? |
| 6987 | They''ve just washed it all up, have n''t they, Jasper? |
| 6987 | Tired, Polly, little woman? |
| 6987 | Under the very eaves of the Cathedral, almost, is n''t it? |
| 6987 | WELL, I GOT HIM HERE,SAID THE LITTLE EARL ILLUSTRATIONS"Now do n''t you want to get off?" |
| 6987 | Wait? 6987 Was anything ever more beautiful?" |
| 6987 | Was it an old fright with a long nose in a blue coat and ruffles, and as big as a turnip? |
| 6987 | Was n''t it good of Grandpapa,cried Polly,"to take us here the first thing after London?" |
| 6987 | We are getting on famously, are n''t we, Polly? |
| 6987 | We would soon get her out of all such notions, if we once had her with us, would n''t we, Mamma? |
| 6987 | We''ll try to, Mamsie,said Polly,"wo n''t we, Pet?" |
| 6987 | Wedding clothes? |
| 6987 | Well, I suppose we are all going to wait a bit? |
| 6987 | Well, are you really here? |
| 6987 | Well, bless me, we are up, are n''t we? |
| 6987 | Well, come on, do n''t you want a game of draughts? |
| 6987 | Well, how did you, Mamsie,Polly begged again,"first hear of the fire? |
| 6987 | Well, now, shall we turn him over to the_ sergents de ville? 6987 Well, was n''t it perfectly beautiful?" |
| 6987 | Well, what are they? |
| 6987 | Well, what can I do about it? |
| 6987 | Well, what colour? |
| 6987 | Well, what is it, then, you''ve lost? |
| 6987 | Well, what of it, Polly? |
| 6987 | Well, what''s the difference? |
| 6987 | Well, what''s to be done, now,--that is the question? |
| 6987 | What are shoals? |
| 6987 | What are those hooks for? |
| 6987 | What can I do for you? |
| 6987 | What can it be, Jasper? |
| 6987 | What did you want a sovereign for? |
| 6987 | What do the poor things do to beat off the flies, pray tell? |
| 6987 | What do you say, Mrs. Fisher? 6987 What do you want with money on board the boat?" |
| 6987 | What do you want? |
| 6987 | What does he stay down there for, then, say, Polly? |
| 6987 | What does it all-- the dreadful thing mean? |
| 6987 | What have you got, Phronsie? |
| 6987 | What in the world can you do with a Dutch cheese, child? |
| 6987 | What is a cad? |
| 6987 | What is a predicament? |
| 6987 | What is all this about? |
| 6987 | What is going over in that corner? |
| 6987 | What is it you have lost? |
| 6987 | What is it, Phronsie child? |
| 6987 | What is it, father? |
| 6987 | What is it-- oh, Grandpapa, what is it? |
| 6987 | What is it? 6987 What is it?" |
| 6987 | What is it? |
| 6987 | What is it? |
| 6987 | What is it? |
| 6987 | What is my donkey''s name? |
| 6987 | What kind of a cat is it you want? |
| 6987 | What makes it so cold up there, Grandpapa, when the sun shines? |
| 6987 | What makes the trunks look so green? |
| 6987 | What makes them sag so? |
| 6987 | What right has he to send such a piece of foolishness to my Polly Pepper? 6987 What''s a porpoise?" |
| 6987 | What''s all this? |
| 6987 | What''s happened? |
| 6987 | What''s that you say, Phronsie? |
| 6987 | What''s that? 6987 What''s this station, I wonder?" |
| 6987 | What''s up, little mother? |
| 6987 | What''s up? |
| 6987 | What, Pet? 6987 What, child?" |
| 6987 | What, sir? |
| 6987 | What? 6987 What?" |
| 6987 | What? |
| 6987 | What_ is_ the matter? |
| 6987 | Whatever can they be, Jasper? |
| 6987 | Where are they? |
| 6987 | Where are those girls? |
| 6987 | Where did you learn to draw so well? |
| 6987 | Where did you put it last night when you took it off, Polly? |
| 6987 | Where is it, Grandpapa? |
| 6987 | Which one would you rather have Polly make a try at, Phronsie? |
| 6987 | Which way? |
| 6987 | Which way? |
| 6987 | Who knows what such talent will do in the world? 6987 Who said I wanted him to come? |
| 6987 | Who was it? |
| 6987 | Who would n''t run with a lot of staring idiots flying at one? |
| 6987 | Who-- who? |
| 6987 | Who? |
| 6987 | Why ca n''t we wait for Polly? |
| 6987 | Why could n''t I, Polly, just like that girl I saw coming out of the door? |
| 6987 | Why did Tom run away so fast? |
| 6987 | Why did n''t we think of it before? |
| 6987 | Why did n''t you? |
| 6987 | Why do n''t some of you speak? |
| 6987 | Why do you tie up the heel? |
| 6987 | Why don''t-- why don''t-- you-- thank him? |
| 6987 | Why not, pray tell? |
| 6987 | Why, Polly Pepper, what are you thinking of? |
| 6987 | Why, where is Adela? |
| 6987 | Why-- what? |
| 6987 | Will he, Polly? |
| 6987 | Will they? |
| 6987 | Will you pass? |
| 6987 | Will you show me that shop to- morrow? |
| 6987 | Will your toes really and truly be happy, Polly? |
| 6987 | With green eyes? |
| 6987 | Wo n''t he ever come back? |
| 6987 | Wo n''t that make the gentleman sorry? |
| 6987 | Wo n''t the gentleman feel sorry? |
| 6987 | Would n''t it be nice? |
| 6987 | Would you, Pet? |
| 6987 | Yes, I am, Phronsie, awfully sorry,confessed the old gentleman;"but what good will that do now? |
| 6987 | Yes, Madam, and glad shall I be to set my foot on Old England again Hey, Tom, my boy, do n''t you say so? |
| 6987 | Yes, Pet,said Polly, looking all along the soft curves of the shore,"there are hundreds of them, are n''t there?" |
| 6987 | Yes, and she saw him and called him,said Polly,"did n''t you hear her?" |
| 6987 | Yes,said Jasper, glancing over at her,"is that your last page, Polly?" |
| 6987 | You are coming home this autumn, are n''t you? |
| 6987 | You do n''t wear gloves, do you, my dear? |
| 6987 | You not tink me nice looking-- so? |
| 6987 | You would-- no matter what you had to do to bring it about? |
| 6987 | _Turn him over?" |
| 6987 | --laughing gaily--"or dear old Badgertown?" |
| 6987 | --want one of those dear sweet little cheeses?" |
| 6987 | All the letters in your mail- bag are answered, you said?" |
| 6987 | An idiot? |
| 6987 | And did you ever see such a clumsy thing as that dreadful boy, and such big hands and feet?" |
| 6987 | And now he met them with,"Well, are you all here-- where''s Phronsie?" |
| 6987 | And oh, do n''t you wish we could run, Jasper?" |
| 6987 | And she threw her arms around her while Mr. Henderson exclaimed,"Of course, why did n''t we think of it, to be sure?" |
| 6987 | And the picture- gallery--""That is in the Maurit-- rit, whatever is the rest of it? |
| 6987 | And would Jasper never come back? |
| 6987 | And, although she did n''t say anything, old Mr. King guessed as much, and broke out suddenly,"Well, are you ready to start, Polly?" |
| 6987 | And--""Was it gold around it?" |
| 6987 | Are you looking at it, Polly? |
| 6987 | Bell?" |
| 6987 | Ca n''t we, Grandpapa?" |
| 6987 | Ca n''t you do it?" |
| 6987 | Can I do anything for you?" |
| 6987 | Did you hear me?" |
| 6987 | Do n''t you know that you will make Grandpapa very sick unless you stop?" |
| 6987 | Do n''t you remember when we first came to Hingham, Polly?" |
| 6987 | Do n''t you suppose there ever will be, Jasper?" |
| 6987 | Do you like it, child?" |
| 6987 | Do you suppose there are little teenty ones, Grandpapa dear, and I might get her a pair?" |
| 6987 | Do you?" |
| 6987 | Eh, my boy?" |
| 6987 | Fisher?" |
| 6987 | Fisher?" |
| 6987 | Fisher?" |
| 6987 | Goodness me, Jasper, what makes you run into a room in this fashion?" |
| 6987 | Gray?" |
| 6987 | Henderson?" |
| 6987 | Here you, stop a bit, will you?" |
| 6987 | Here, call a cab, will you? |
| 6987 | Hey?" |
| 6987 | How did you ever get so many things over here, in all this world, and why did n''t you let me stay with you?" |
| 6987 | How would you like that, Polly?" |
| 6987 | If we are going to send the box, why is n''t it best to begin the work at once? |
| 6987 | Is he your father?" |
| 6987 | Is n''t it beautiful, child?" |
| 6987 | Is n''t it, Jasper-- isn''t it?" |
| 6987 | Is n''t it, Jasper?" |
| 6987 | It was a long speech, and at its conclusion Mrs. Vanderburgh was still demanding,"Who-- who?" |
| 6987 | Mamsie, is n''t this pin for Alexia just too lovely for anything?" |
| 6987 | Mamsie, was n''t Papa Fisher splendid? |
| 6987 | May I tell you of ourselves some time, when a good opportunity offers for a quiet talk?" |
| 6987 | May the baby have this?" |
| 6987 | My sakes!--how many times do you expect me to tell you? |
| 6987 | Now you understand-- eh?" |
| 6987 | Oh, Adela, did you draw this? |
| 6987 | Oh, Polly, was n''t that Pentagonal Tower fine? |
| 6987 | Oh, ca n''t I stay awake? |
| 6987 | Oh, do n''t you want to hear about a funny cat, children? |
| 6987 | Oh, may I have him? |
| 6987 | Oh, yes,"said Polly, starting out of her revery with a little laugh,"you mean the sunset?" |
| 6987 | Porpoises go in schools,--why should n''t whales, pray tell?" |
| 6987 | Say, will you help me? |
| 6987 | Shall we?" |
| 6987 | So what else could he do, pray tell, but say"Yes"? |
| 6987 | Stop, will you?" |
| 6987 | That will be fine, wo n''t it, dear?" |
| 6987 | The next moment Mamsie seemed to say,"Is that my Polly?" |
| 6987 | To- morrow, maybe, when we go down from dis place, eh?" |
| 6987 | Tom''s face was all awry as Mr. King said,"And you mean to say, Mrs. Selwyn, that you really must move on to- morrow?" |
| 6987 | Was n''t father pleased when he got up to us, Tom, to think you had Phronsie in such good shape? |
| 6987 | Well, now you are here, would you like to come back to Scheveningen for a few days, Polly?" |
| 6987 | What are you wasting all this time for, crawling along in this fashion, Hobson, when you know we want to get on?" |
| 6987 | What could be the matter? |
| 6987 | What do you mean, Adela Gray?" |
| 6987 | What else is there to do, pray tell?" |
| 6987 | What in the world shall we do with the thing?" |
| 6987 | What is it they call it in German?" |
| 6987 | What is it, Samuel?" |
| 6987 | What would your father say to such a notion?" |
| 6987 | Where could she be? |
| 6987 | Where?" |
| 6987 | Who did do this?" |
| 6987 | Why did n''t you wake me up earlier, Mamsie?" |
| 6987 | Why, how could I? |
| 6987 | Why, what would be the good of our going up at all, pray tell, if we did n''t devote that much time to it and have a try for a sunrise?" |
| 6987 | Will it, Polly?" |
| 6987 | Would Jasper really persuade him to forget that laugh? |
| 6987 | Would n''t it be fine if we could take some home, to send to Badgertown? |
| 6987 | Would n''t that be nice?" |
| 6987 | Would that suit you, Pet?" |
| 6987 | XXII POLLY TRIES TO HELP"Mamsie, what shall we do?" |
| 6987 | Yes, I have been an idiot of the worst kind,"declared Mr. King,"and all the rest just as I say; rude and-- why, what is the matter, Phronsie?" |
| 6987 | You think they would like it, Phronsie?" |
| 6987 | You''ve got a pair of bright eyes as ever I see in a head; and what''s the good of''em if you ca n''t help in trouble like this?" |
| 6987 | addressing the woman,"how many children have you, pray tell?" |
| 6987 | asked Phronsie, in a rapture;"and do you think he has got any little girls?" |
| 6987 | cried Phronsie;"oh, Grandpapa,"clasping her hands,"how do they stay on?" |
| 6987 | demanded old Mr. King;"whom are you talking about, pray tell, Jasper?" |
| 6987 | exclaimed Mother Fisher, in surprise,"what is the matter? |
| 6987 | exclaimed Polly, springing to a sitting position, thereby giving her brown head a smart thump on the ceiling of the berth,"where are we, Mamsie? |
| 6987 | exclaimed Polly,"do you really mean it?" |
| 6987 | exclaimed her mother, sharply,"what is the matter with you? |
| 6987 | how many times shall I tell you? |
| 6987 | is n''t it''Oats, Peas, Beans, and Barley grow''?" |
| 6987 | not even going to visit one of his beloved hospitals?" |
| 6987 | said Jasper;"who could help it? |
| 6987 | she wailed,"my child; where is she?" |
| 6987 | snorted his father,"do n''t I know that? |
| 6987 | what is it?" |
| 6987 | what-- where?" |
| 6987 | what?" |
| 6987 | why, it is the middle of the night, is n''t it?" |
| 5632 | ''A poor presentment, You will say we give; But cry you mercy, Sirs, and''? |
| 5632 | Afraid? 5632 Ah? |
| 5632 | Ah? 5632 Ai n''t I as good as he?" |
| 5632 | Ai n''t goin''in? |
| 5632 | Ai n''t he a beauty, though? |
| 5632 | All out? |
| 5632 | And he wo n''t come again? |
| 5632 | And how Ben''s putty was everlastingly tumbling out? 5632 And now to come parading her attentions upon me, it"--"Who-- who?" |
| 5632 | And pray what is it? |
| 5632 | And so you wanted me, did you, dear? |
| 5632 | And the door will open, and I''ll have Mamsie and dear Grandpapa? |
| 5632 | And the other is a woman? |
| 5632 | And we ought to do something to celebrate,said Polly,"at least do n''t you think so?" |
| 5632 | And what would the poor people here do without him? |
| 5632 | And who is he? |
| 5632 | And why may I not present a doll to Phronsie Pepper, if I care to, pray tell? |
| 5632 | And why not, pray? |
| 5632 | And you would n''t let her? |
| 5632 | Anything I can help you about? |
| 5632 | Are n''t you glad now that you did n''t find out about the secret? |
| 5632 | Are the persons men? |
| 5632 | Are they on sale yet? |
| 5632 | Are you glad? |
| 5632 | Are you going to give a dinner? |
| 5632 | Are you going to have a good- by party? |
| 5632 | Are you hurt? |
| 5632 | Are you ready? |
| 5632 | Are you really and truly very glad, Polly? |
| 5632 | Are you willing, Ben? |
| 5632 | Are you, Pet? 5632 Auntie, do you know?" |
| 5632 | Bad news? |
| 5632 | Beebe- Beebe, and who is he, pray? |
| 5632 | Beg your pardon,he said awkwardly, pulling open the door,"ai n''t you goin''to ride back?" |
| 5632 | Better? |
| 5632 | Bring Hortense-- where is that girl? |
| 5632 | But I shall ask her if she is willing to do it as a favor, Mrs. Chatterton; you quite understand that, of course? |
| 5632 | But I tell you it''s true,declared Van,"is n''t it, Percy?" |
| 5632 | But how about Joel and Phronsie? |
| 5632 | But whatever in the world do you want that trash for? |
| 5632 | But you? |
| 5632 | Ca n''t I be a Princess unless you sew up that purple paper? |
| 5632 | Ca n''t I bring you some salad? |
| 5632 | Ca n''t we buy them some children? |
| 5632 | Ca n''t we have some of those boys up from the Orphan Asylum? |
| 5632 | Compliment? |
| 5632 | Could you, Mr. Alstyne, give that to some one else? 5632 Cousin Horatio, do you keep a menagerie, or a well- ordered house, I beg to inquire?" |
| 5632 | Crying? |
| 5632 | Dat''s my own hair,said Candace, pointing to the doll''s head with pride,"so I know it''s good; an''ai n''t dat mouf pretty?" |
| 5632 | Dicky, would you like to have a secret? |
| 5632 | Did Papa- Doctor say so? |
| 5632 | Did n''t I say I wanted her? |
| 5632 | Did n''t Mrs. Chatterton save my life,he exploded,"when the real burglar was going for me? |
| 5632 | Did you cut that out? |
| 5632 | Did you ever see such a tea- party as you and I''ll have? |
| 5632 | Did you get my letter? |
| 5632 | Did you tell Polly? |
| 5632 | Did you, now? |
| 5632 | Die? 5632 Do I look just as I did when papa went away six months ago, Dicky?" |
| 5632 | Do I look nicely? |
| 5632 | Do n''t I know it? |
| 5632 | Do n''t I know it? |
| 5632 | Do n''t cry,said the little doctor,"and what''s the matter?" |
| 5632 | Do n''t they? |
| 5632 | Do n''t want to go back? |
| 5632 | Do n''t you believe we''d better put it off till some other night? |
| 5632 | Do n''t you see we are so much the richer, Phronsie? 5632 Do n''t you see,"said Polly, sitting down on the floor and cuddling up his head in her lap,"that Joel is really all right now? |
| 5632 | Do tell me, do n''t you think they will find Percy? |
| 5632 | Do we act as if we had been talked over? |
| 5632 | Do you know, Mrs. Chatterton, gray stuffs are to be worn more than ever this spring? |
| 5632 | Do you like it, Polly? |
| 5632 | Do you mean to say that I could n''t have handled the burglar? |
| 5632 | Do you really wish to go back to school, and put your mind on your books? 5632 Do you remember how you would carry the red- topped shoes home with you, Phronsie?" |
| 5632 | Do you remember when the old stove used to plague you, Polly? |
| 5632 | Do you suppose I''d pound a visitor? |
| 5632 | Do you suppose it, Polly? |
| 5632 | Do you think Sarah''ll ever bring that apple? |
| 5632 | Do you understand,presently began Mrs. Chatterton, fastening her cold blue eyes upon her,"what your position is in this house? |
| 5632 | Do you want it, Grandpapa? |
| 5632 | Do you want us all to go out, Phronsie? |
| 5632 | Do you want us to take this to Phronsie? |
| 5632 | Do you, Dick? |
| 5632 | Do you? |
| 5632 | Does she? |
| 5632 | Does the lady like it? |
| 5632 | Does your head ache often at school, Joel? |
| 5632 | Fight? |
| 5632 | Funny? |
| 5632 | Go out and listen, Percy, will you? |
| 5632 | Grandpapa,she said at last slowly,"I think I''d rather have the first pie, I really would, Grandpapa, may I?" |
| 5632 | Has Jasper got through reading? 5632 Has n''t she any home?" |
| 5632 | Has she been in here? |
| 5632 | Has she come back-- what brought her, pray tell, so soon? |
| 5632 | Has she gone? |
| 5632 | Has the mouse gone? |
| 5632 | Have I, sir? |
| 5632 | Have n''t I told you that you will help your mother only by not telling her? |
| 5632 | Have they? 5632 Have you any more raisins to give us, Grandma?" |
| 5632 | Have you ever had a doll? |
| 5632 | He is quite well, is n''t he? |
| 5632 | Here, my good fellow,to Mr. Tisbett,"you say it''s all comfortable in there for them?" |
| 5632 | Hey, my pet? |
| 5632 | Hey-- what''s this? |
| 5632 | Hey? |
| 5632 | Hey? |
| 5632 | Home? 5632 How can you when Phronsie is getting better? |
| 5632 | How d''ye, boys? |
| 5632 | How do you know we wo n''t? |
| 5632 | How do you like it, Clare and Bensie? |
| 5632 | How in the world do you make the thing roll out straight? 5632 How many dolls are there to refurbish before to- morrow?" |
| 5632 | How would you like to learn how to take care of yourself when you are a big girl? |
| 5632 | How-- how? |
| 5632 | I know Phronsie wants a story; do n''t you, Phronsie? |
| 5632 | I mean, made them want to go to England sooner, do n''t you, mamma? |
| 5632 | I shall not tell,Mrs. Chatterton was saying to herself in the other room;"what good could it do? |
| 5632 | I suppose you want me to cure that leg of yours, and make it as good as the other one, do n''t you? |
| 5632 | I want to go and see dear good Mr. Beebe,she said presently,"and nice Mrs. Beebe, can I, Mamsie?" |
| 5632 | I''m not tired,said Polly, not daring to ask"Is she better?" |
| 5632 | Is Dicky all right? |
| 5632 | Is Phronsie ready to come home? |
| 5632 | Is he all right? |
| 5632 | Is he-- is he-- is he? |
| 5632 | Is it a new dog? |
| 5632 | Is it possible? |
| 5632 | Is it really funny? |
| 5632 | Is n''t Dr. Fisher lovely? |
| 5632 | Is n''t he a fine old chap? 5632 Is n''t it lovely,"cried Mrs. Whitney,"to have a boy who is beginning to find his lungs?" |
| 5632 | Is n''t she a goose? |
| 5632 | Is n''t that splendid? 5632 Is n''t there anything else I can do, Mamsie?" |
| 5632 | Is she dead? |
| 5632 | Is that all? |
| 5632 | Is that all? |
| 5632 | Is that any better? |
| 5632 | Is that your way of making up? |
| 5632 | Is the lace going on all around the bottom? |
| 5632 | It''s almost done, is n''t it, child? |
| 5632 | It''s going to snow to- morrow, I think,observed Jasper, squinting up at the leaden sky,"is n''t it, father?" |
| 5632 | It''s only yesterday since you took me to drive, Dr. Fisher, and you gave me my stove-- is it? |
| 5632 | It''s''stay,''is n''t it, father? |
| 5632 | Jasper, wo n''t she be delighted? |
| 5632 | Jasper, would n''t you like to see Joel''s eyes when Aunt Whitney leads him into the private box? |
| 5632 | Jefferson? 5632 Joel,"exclaimed Jasper suddenly, clapping him on the shoulder,"I''m going round to the gymnasium; want to go with me?" |
| 5632 | Keep still, will you? |
| 5632 | Leave your fingers off from it, ca n''t you? |
| 5632 | Madame,exclaimed Hortense breathlessly, meeting her within the door,"de modiste will not send de gown; you must"--"Will not send it?" |
| 5632 | Mamma,he said at last,"is n''t it good that God did n''t give boys and girls to Mr. Duyckink? |
| 5632 | Mamsie is always right, is n''t she, Jasper? |
| 5632 | Mamsie, do n''t you think she ought to have a shawl on? |
| 5632 | Mamsie, do you suppose his head aches? |
| 5632 | Marian,said old Mr. King, putting his head in at the door of her little writing- room,"ca n''t you get her comfortably out of the way this morning? |
| 5632 | May I bring Elsie Fay? 5632 May I just stretch a wee little bit, Polly,"she asked timidly,"before you pin it up? |
| 5632 | May I read some more? |
| 5632 | May I? |
| 5632 | May we-- may we? |
| 5632 | Miss Mary Pepper? |
| 5632 | Miss Mary Pepper? |
| 5632 | Miss Mary,said the maid, interrupting,"what do you mean? |
| 5632 | Mother Pepper? 5632 Mrs. Chatterton, have you seen him?" |
| 5632 | Must a person keep a promise? |
| 5632 | Must they yet, Grandpapa? |
| 5632 | My neck aches, and my side, and my head,said Mrs. Chatterton irritably;"why do you not do as I bid you?" |
| 5632 | Never had one? |
| 5632 | Never? |
| 5632 | Nicely? |
| 5632 | No, no,said Van;"it''ll be good for him, and knock the other thing out of his head, do n''t you see, Percy? |
| 5632 | Not your pie? |
| 5632 | Now do you want her to stay? |
| 5632 | Now is n''t that fine, Phronsie? |
| 5632 | Now what is it all about? 5632 Now what is to be done about it?" |
| 5632 | Now where shall I get it, and where shall I put it when I do have it? |
| 5632 | Now would you like oysters? |
| 5632 | Now, Clare, you must remember not to give such a shriek when you go on, must n''t he, Jappy? 5632 Now, Phronsie, what do you suppose we are to do next?" |
| 5632 | One of the children that your kindness received in this house? |
| 5632 | Only peg away when I have the mind? |
| 5632 | PHRONSIE GIVING AWAY HER DOLLS, MAMSIE? |
| 5632 | Percy,said Van,"come out in the hall, will you?" |
| 5632 | Phronsie is coming downstairs to- morrow, is n''t she? |
| 5632 | Phronsie, are you sure you are warm enough? |
| 5632 | Phronsie, it''s all very funny, is n''t it? |
| 5632 | Phronsie, wo n''t this be perfectly lovely? 5632 Phronsie,"said Jasper, as the sound of the two voices could be heard in Mother Fisher''s room,"do n''t you want to come into my den? |
| 5632 | Phronsie,said Jasper, bending to speak into her ear,"do you know you are making Polly feel very unhappy? |
| 5632 | Playing games, hey? |
| 5632 | Polly wants something, first; what is it, Joel? |
| 5632 | Polly, did I ever have anything but make- believe in the little brown house; ever, Polly? |
| 5632 | Polly, speak to her,he cried in despair;"where is she? |
| 5632 | Polly, will you? |
| 5632 | Polly,said Alexia in a stage whisper, and jumping up as Jencks disappeared, to run over to the row,"do you suppose they are dolls?" |
| 5632 | Pretty, are n''t they? |
| 5632 | Right away? |
| 5632 | Say, Percy Whitney? |
| 5632 | Say, Polly, do n''t stay away a whole year, will you? |
| 5632 | Say, Polly,cried another girl,"do n''t you have to take a lot of pills and stuff, now that Dr. Fisher is your father?" |
| 5632 | Say, my girl? |
| 5632 | Shall I get you an ice, Miss Polly? |
| 5632 | Shall I, Candace? |
| 5632 | She does n''t stay in this house, does she, Jasper? |
| 5632 | She''s paid to take care of me; what right has she to think of anything else? |
| 5632 | So does any one who does a kind act,replied Mrs. Pepper, wiping her eyes;"well, sir, now how shall we manage about going back?" |
| 5632 | So you always bought your new shoes of the Beebes? |
| 5632 | So you are intending to honor me, are you? |
| 5632 | Still unconscious-- Would no one ever come near her but this detestable maid, with her still more detestable news? |
| 5632 | Tell them? 5632 That heavy plate?" |
| 5632 | The Dickens she did,exclaimed the old gentleman;"so she has had a last word with you, has she? |
| 5632 | The flowers were pretty, but the cake was heavy, do n''t you remember? |
| 5632 | The present may be well enough; though I should think existence with that low, underbred family here, would be a? |
| 5632 | The rest of the family are afflicted in the same way, are n''t they? |
| 5632 | Then I think we''ll decide now to ask him,said Polly,"do n''t you, Jasper?" |
| 5632 | There, now, my boy, how''s that? |
| 5632 | There, will you stay down? |
| 5632 | There,he said, standing up straight,"lie there, will you?" |
| 5632 | These four days will give you strength for your''exams,''wo n''t they, Joe? |
| 5632 | Tie me up? |
| 5632 | To be sure,exclaimed Jasper, looking around,"where is the Princess''s page?" |
| 5632 | To see you? |
| 5632 | Took it twice? |
| 5632 | Well enough,said Joel,"but why did n''t you make more of it? |
| 5632 | Well, Phronsie, you love Dr. Fisher, do n''t you? |
| 5632 | Well, and I did n''t when I said so, but circumstances are changed now-- come, guess quickly, some one? |
| 5632 | Well, and if I may ask, what brought you now, Eunice? |
| 5632 | Well, and what are you thinking of, pray tell? |
| 5632 | Well, is the important conference over? |
| 5632 | Well, sir, how did you like it? |
| 5632 | Well, so Dick rolled off? |
| 5632 | Well, we have had a happy time together, have n''t we? 5632 Well, well, dear, what is it?" |
| 5632 | Well, what are their names? 5632 Well, what is it?" |
| 5632 | Well, what would you do, Polly child, to show the youngsters we''re proud of them, and glad to get them back-- hey? |
| 5632 | Well, who is she? |
| 5632 | Whar''s little Miss? |
| 5632 | What are you doing, Phronsie? |
| 5632 | What are you here for? |
| 5632 | What could you get her,cried Mr. Whitney,"in the way of a doll? |
| 5632 | What did he want Town Talk for? |
| 5632 | What did she say? |
| 5632 | What do you mean? |
| 5632 | What do you suppose he''s doing? |
| 5632 | What do you want? |
| 5632 | What else? |
| 5632 | What for? |
| 5632 | What girls? |
| 5632 | What have you got, Dick? |
| 5632 | What in the world are you firing at? |
| 5632 | What is Dr. Fisher going to do? |
| 5632 | What is a pick- pocket? |
| 5632 | What is it, Joe? |
| 5632 | What is it, Polly? 5632 What is it, Polly?" |
| 5632 | What is it, pray, since you understand it so well? |
| 5632 | What is it? 5632 What is it?" |
| 5632 | What is the matter? |
| 5632 | What is toding? |
| 5632 | What next, Polly? 5632 What were they, pray tell? |
| 5632 | What''s poetic license? |
| 5632 | What''s the fun down there now? |
| 5632 | What''s the matter? |
| 5632 | What''s the trouble up there? |
| 5632 | What''s up? |
| 5632 | What, what? |
| 5632 | What? 5632 What?" |
| 5632 | What? |
| 5632 | When I grow a big girl, will anybody want me to do those things that you are going to teach me? |
| 5632 | When? |
| 5632 | Where are you going? |
| 5632 | Where are you, Dick? |
| 5632 | Where can she be? 5632 Where have you been, Polly?" |
| 5632 | Where is it? |
| 5632 | Where is she? |
| 5632 | Where is the girl? 5632 Where''s Jasper?" |
| 5632 | Where''s Phronsie? |
| 5632 | Where''s Phronsie? |
| 5632 | Where''s Polly? |
| 5632 | Where? |
| 5632 | Who cares? |
| 5632 | Who do you think is going abroad with us? |
| 5632 | Who is he? |
| 5632 | Who is she? |
| 5632 | Who was steering? |
| 5632 | Who, mamma? |
| 5632 | Who-- Polly? |
| 5632 | Who-- who? 5632 Who?" |
| 5632 | Who? |
| 5632 | Who? |
| 5632 | Who? |
| 5632 | Why did n''t he speak? 5632 Why did n''t you tell me, Phronsie,"asked the old gentleman a bit reproachfully as they reached the top step,"how it was, dear? |
| 5632 | Why did n''t you tell us before that it was he? |
| 5632 | Why not say so? |
| 5632 | Why should any one else interfere in the matter? |
| 5632 | Why, what does Grandpapa say? |
| 5632 | Why, where is Phronsie? |
| 5632 | Why? 5632 Will you allow me?" |
| 5632 | Will you come? |
| 5632 | Will you let her stay, Grandpapa-- will you? |
| 5632 | Will you send her back as soon as possible? |
| 5632 | Will you? |
| 5632 | Wo n''t Phronsie be delighted when she hears it talk? |
| 5632 | Wo n''t that be nice, Phronsie? |
| 5632 | Would it be so very wrong to open one box, and just relieve our suspense? 5632 Would n''t I mamma?" |
| 5632 | Yes, of course; but after that, what shall I do? |
| 5632 | Yet what shall I give her if I do n''t buy a doll? |
| 5632 | You always tell her everything, do you, Ben? |
| 5632 | You do n''t mean me, Joey? |
| 5632 | You do n''t think they will, Grandpapa dear, do you? 5632 You want Mother Pepper too, I presume?" |
| 5632 | You''re not hurt anywhere else, are you, Joey? |
| 5632 | You''re sure you wo n''t let me go? |
| 5632 | You''ve had a good time? |
| 5632 | You''ve often wanted to have a cry out? |
| 5632 | Your poor head, does it ache? |
| 5632 | 12 New Work for Polly 13 A Piece of News 14 Mamsie''s Wedding 15 Mrs. Chatterton Has a New Plan 16 Where Is Phronsie? |
| 5632 | Almost, have n''t I?" |
| 5632 | Alstyne?" |
| 5632 | And dropping her fingers quickly and turning away from the glass, she exclaimed,"How dare you, Hortense, come in without knocking?" |
| 5632 | And everything turned dark before her eyes-- Was Phronsie dead? |
| 5632 | And he''ll bring his funny old gig, wo n''t he, and Ill drive sometimes, I suppose?" |
| 5632 | And is that Phronsie? |
| 5632 | And now, will you kiss me, child?" |
| 5632 | And so I''m going to ask you both to get me something to eat, will you?" |
| 5632 | And what is a grinder, please?" |
| 5632 | And where is he, pray?" |
| 5632 | Anybody else in favor of the Peppers?" |
| 5632 | As Polly did not answer, the question was repeated very sharply:"Do you understand what your position is in this house?" |
| 5632 | But he''s a beauty, ai n''t he, though?" |
| 5632 | But how? |
| 5632 | But what was the use of a fine manner when there was nobody but a little back- country maiden to see it? |
| 5632 | Ca n''t some one think of one?" |
| 5632 | Call Hortense, will you?" |
| 5632 | Can you, Jasper? |
| 5632 | Chatterton?" |
| 5632 | Chatterton?" |
| 5632 | Chatterton?" |
| 5632 | Dear me, where are my books?" |
| 5632 | Did n''t Grandpapa help you just one teeny bit to make the legs and the hands?" |
| 5632 | Did you ever think of that, Polly?" |
| 5632 | Do n''t you hear them talking in the library?" |
| 5632 | Do n''t you see? |
| 5632 | Do n''t you suppose something will happen to take her away?" |
| 5632 | Do n''t you understand?" |
| 5632 | Do n''t you want to take them up to the playroom and distribute the dolls?" |
| 5632 | Do you know I love you very much, Jefferson, you''re so very good to me?" |
| 5632 | Do you know what patience means?" |
| 5632 | Do you suppose papa will be always going to Europe then?" |
| 5632 | Do you think she will like it, Polly?" |
| 5632 | Do you want me to tell you how?" |
| 5632 | Do, Polly, will you?" |
| 5632 | Does n''t she fight with everybody?" |
| 5632 | Dr. Fisher could not for his life, refrain from asking curiously, as he did as requested,"Been having a pull at the books, eh, Joe?" |
| 5632 | Find some description of tea gowns, ca n''t you? |
| 5632 | Has she, Jane?" |
| 5632 | Have they no sense, to carry on like this?" |
| 5632 | Henderson?" |
| 5632 | Here, ca n''t you be a little more careful to keep the road?" |
| 5632 | How can I ever teach it, if I do n''t go, pray tell?" |
| 5632 | How d''ye do, Thomas?" |
| 5632 | How''s the leg, Dicky?" |
| 5632 | I believe she''s Mrs. Dr. Fisher, is n''t she?" |
| 5632 | I suppose you have heard the trouble at the Kings? |
| 5632 | I supposed the double ripper all right; did n''t you, Ben?" |
| 5632 | Is it animal, vegetable or mineral, Jasper?" |
| 5632 | Is n''t anybody smart enough to guess them? |
| 5632 | Is n''t that so, Doctor?" |
| 5632 | Is that all you brought me up here to say?" |
| 5632 | It does n''t look the same way, do n''t you see?" |
| 5632 | It''s too bad, is n''t it, that Dick ca n''t be here to- day to rehearse his part?" |
| 5632 | Jasper as wildly reminiscent now as the others, for had n''t he almost as good as lived at the little brown house, pray tell? |
| 5632 | Joel, are you worse?" |
| 5632 | Just a very little bit?" |
| 5632 | Just one, Polly?" |
| 5632 | Just think, child, whatever in the world would Grandpapa do, or any of us, pray tell?" |
| 5632 | Mamma, wo n''t you stop them?" |
| 5632 | Mamsie, is n''t dear Mr. King just the dearest dear, to give all this to the boys? |
| 5632 | Mamsie,"and she rushed over to her,"can we have a baking time to- morrow, just as we used to in the old days? |
| 5632 | Mamsie,"she threw down the brush and ran over to put her head in the closet,"where did she go?" |
| 5632 | May I, Polly?" |
| 5632 | Not a thing, sir, do you hear?" |
| 5632 | Now how shall we manage them?" |
| 5632 | Now that point''s settled about Phronsie''s party, wo n''t you all go out? |
| 5632 | Now what comes next, Phronsie?" |
| 5632 | Now what do you suppose she has for you, Phronsie?" |
| 5632 | Now who are they?" |
| 5632 | Now, then, Jasper, is Jencks ready with the lantern?" |
| 5632 | Now, why can not I read a bit?" |
| 5632 | Obey? |
| 5632 | Oh, Phronsie dear, so you went down to bid Grandpapa good- night, did you?" |
| 5632 | Pepper?" |
| 5632 | Phronsie was about to ask,"Why does not Hortense go up for it?" |
| 5632 | Polly, why do n''t you say something?" |
| 5632 | Rather different, is n''t it, old fellow, from the time when I used to race over from Hingham with Prince at my heels?" |
| 5632 | Rather have the first pie?" |
| 5632 | Say, did n''t she?" |
| 5632 | She knew he wanted her to try a new duet he had gone down town to purchase; but how could she play with such a storm in her heart? |
| 5632 | She put up her eyeglass at the intrusion and murmured"Ah?" |
| 5632 | Should she dare to scream? |
| 5632 | Stay, where is Joel?" |
| 5632 | Suppose we had n''t a Father Fisher who was a doctor, what should we do then?" |
| 5632 | The drama, pure and simple, is forgot In tugging in the moral''"? |
| 5632 | Then I guess she will be glad, do n''t you?" |
| 5632 | Upstairs Polly was at work with happy fingers, Alexia across the room, asking every third minute,"Polly, how does it go? |
| 5632 | Was all the world arrayed against her, to take up with those hateful interlopers in her cousin''s home? |
| 5632 | Was any other ever so bright and beautiful? |
| 5632 | Was this the first meeting with the girls to which she had looked forward so long? |
| 5632 | We have a princess, to be sure''"? |
| 5632 | Well, and how about the wonderful play on the twenty- first? |
| 5632 | Well, how do you like the plan?" |
| 5632 | Well, it''s too bad about Phronsie''s party, is n''t it?" |
| 5632 | Well, what next do you propose to do, Polly?" |
| 5632 | Were not two cases of blankets and household comforts safely packed away in the luggage car? |
| 5632 | What are you talking about? |
| 5632 | What in the world could you do, Polly? |
| 5632 | What news?" |
| 5632 | What next, Polly?" |
| 5632 | What shall we do?" |
| 5632 | What was it all about, Polly?" |
| 5632 | What''s a bit of tissue paper to the glory of being a Princess?" |
| 5632 | What''s next, Jap?" |
| 5632 | Where else is she, if she has n''t run away, pray tell?" |
| 5632 | Why are n''t you at the club spread?" |
| 5632 | Why could n''t Mr. Marks be sick longer than that, if he was going to be sick at all, pray?" |
| 5632 | Why do n''t you ask questions about my secret?" |
| 5632 | Why does n''t Grandpapa come?" |
| 5632 | Why wo n''t this other one behave, and fall into a pretty curve, I wonder?" |
| 5632 | Why, it''s what I''ve been studying and working for, and how else do you suppose I can ever repay dear Grandpapa for helping me?" |
| 5632 | Why, what would she ever do without you? |
| 5632 | Why-- why could n''t I have remembered it?" |
| 5632 | Will it break up your study much?" |
| 5632 | Will no one come to say she is better?" |
| 5632 | Will no one guess?" |
| 5632 | Will your mother ever forgive me, Polly?" |
| 5632 | Would you like Dr. Fisher for a father?" |
| 5632 | XVI WHERE IS PHRONSIE? |
| 5632 | XXII JOEL"Hate school?" |
| 5632 | You are sure Mr. King has n''t persuaded you to like it?" |
| 5632 | You get it, will you, Hannah?" |
| 5632 | You know you wo n''t fight, and I wo n''t again; we both said so a little while back; so what''s the good of holding out now?" |
| 5632 | You must n''t believe him, Polly, You wo n''t, will you?" |
| 5632 | You should n''t fly into such rages; they wear on one fearfully; and especially for a stranger too, and against your own people-- how can you?" |
| 5632 | You wo n''t be frightened, will you, pet, at those dear, sweet old dragons?" |
| 5632 | are they for me?" |
| 5632 | asked Alexia; the uncomfortable walk might be enlivened by a bit of stray gossip;"what is it, Polly? |
| 5632 | asked Phronsie,"a really and truly promise, Grandpapa?" |
| 5632 | asked Polly,"or any children?" |
| 5632 | better, is she?" |
| 5632 | bless my soul, what should I want to marry for at my time of life? |
| 5632 | called Joel, edging up,"why do n''t you talk to me?" |
| 5632 | called Mr. Tisbett, to his smoking horses, and leaning over, he cried,"What''s the matter in there?" |
| 5632 | could you get me a copy of"Town Talk?" |
| 5632 | cried Dick dolefully,"what''s the reason we must wait a whole week, pray tell?" |
| 5632 | cried Dick in a spasm of excitement,"coming right straight away, mamma?" |
| 5632 | cried Dick, turning around in his chair, and regarding her enviously,"all alone by yourself? |
| 5632 | cried Jasper, putting his head in the doorway,"what good fun is going on? |
| 5632 | cried Joel with curiosity;"some more mysteries? |
| 5632 | cried Joel, prancing out of the car first, and"How d''ye do, Polly?" |
| 5632 | cried Phronsie suddenly, and lifting her head, she fastened her brown eyes on the face above her,"was n''t Mamsie''s birthday cake good?" |
| 5632 | cried Polly, and then away they rushed again into"Oh, do n''t you remember this, and you have n''t forgotten that?" |
| 5632 | cried Polly, burrowing deeper within the pillow folds,"why are n''t pleasant things best to do? |
| 5632 | cried Polly, convulsively clinging to her,"are you really here, and is Dicky home?" |
| 5632 | cried Van, rushing over the flat stone, and past Mrs. Pepper,"where''s Joel? |
| 5632 | dear Grandpapa, will Mrs. Chatterton die?" |
| 5632 | demanded Joel belligerently, and advancing on Percy,"say? |
| 5632 | did you fall?" |
| 5632 | do n''t you see it''s only Percy and Van?" |
| 5632 | do n''t you see what it will all tend to?" |
| 5632 | do you suppose she will?" |
| 5632 | exclaimed Alexia, as a turn in the drive brought the two figures in view of the music- room windows,"did you ever see such a sight in your life? |
| 5632 | exclaimed Mr. King sharply, for his surprise was too great to allow of composure,"who has been putting this idea into your head? |
| 5632 | exclaimed Mrs. Chatterton angrily,"and pray how long since your thoughts have been so valuable?" |
| 5632 | exclaimed Polly, seizing the doll, and skillfully evading the question,"what a lovely dress-- and the apron is a dear"--"Ai n''t it?" |
| 5632 | exclaimed the cook, shutting up one eye to look through the other in a spasm of delight at an imaginary pie;"so it''s for Miss Mary, is it?" |
| 5632 | gone for the water? |
| 5632 | have they?" |
| 5632 | he called sharply,"here, where are you?" |
| 5632 | he exclaimed;"are these tall boys and girls the five little Peppers? |
| 5632 | he screamed,"do n''t you see, Thomas?" |
| 5632 | how can you?" |
| 5632 | how could they? |
| 5632 | how could you?" |
| 5632 | how is she?" |
| 5632 | how many of ye be there? |
| 5632 | hummed Phronsie;"is n''t that just lovely?" |
| 5632 | is n''t is possible to be married without sixty- five friends to stare at you?" |
| 5632 | it was perfectly awful, was n''t it, Dave?" |
| 5632 | let me be, will you?" |
| 5632 | said Phronsie, flying off from the lovely corner, to straighten out again into the dignity required;"not when they are little girls, Polly?" |
| 5632 | said the boy;"is this right, Alexia?" |
| 5632 | she begged;"please do tell me, sir?" |
| 5632 | she cried in a tremor of delight,"and will you really have it on the table, and cut it with Aunt Whitney''s big silver knife?" |
| 5632 | she said slowly at last,"well, what do you want to say? |
| 5632 | there is so much,"said Polly despairingly, clasping her hands,"we should n''t get through if we talked ten years, should we, Ben? |
| 5632 | those lovely little lace arrangements,"said Mrs. Whitney hastily;"do n''t you know how exquisite they are at Pinaud''s?" |
| 5632 | turning to him,"why could n''t we have the club next week, Wednesday night?" |
| 5632 | well, did you ever think that-- that your mother might possibly marry again?" |
| 5632 | what do you mean?" |
| 5632 | what has happened?" |
| 5632 | what have I done?" |
| 5632 | what is it, dear?" |
| 5632 | what is it? |
| 5632 | what is it?" |
| 5632 | what is the matter with Joey?" |
| 5632 | what is the matter, Polly?" |
| 5632 | what shall we do, sir?" |
| 5632 | what shall we do?" |
| 5632 | what you goin''that way for?" |
| 5632 | where have you been, Polly Pepper,"said Mr. King, settling his eyeglass to regard her closely,"not to hear the uproar in this house? |
| 5632 | where''d you get that, and where are you going?" |
| 5632 | where''s Grandpapa?" |
| 5632 | where''s Joel?" |
| 5632 | where?" |
| 5632 | whispered Polly, back again,"just look at Mrs. Chatterton''s face, and at poor Phronsie''s; ca n''t you do something, Jasper?" |
| 5632 | who wants to hear about them?" |
| 5632 | who?" |
| 5632 | will she die?" |
| 5632 | will you play that concerto, the one you played when Mary Gibbs was here at tea last week? |
| 5632 | wo n''t it be entrancing to- night?" |
| 5632 | you do suppose it will be good, do n''t you?" |
| 5632 | you would n''t quite do that?" |
| 35178 | ''Some of the a- r- t- i- c- l- e- s--''What in the world is that? |
| 35178 | A common country fellow just now spoke to me on the long path; fancy that, will you? 35178 A letter?" |
| 35178 | Ai n''t you going to have it wrapped up? |
| 35178 | All about what? |
| 35178 | Am I? |
| 35178 | Am I? |
| 35178 | An''Mr. Cabot gib you dat did he, fer a present? |
| 35178 | An''don''you''member how I matched dat pink ribbin? 35178 An''where''d she say that, if you please?" |
| 35178 | And did he get into his sleigh? |
| 35178 | And did you suppose we''d give Grandpapa a pen without a handle, Joey? |
| 35178 | And is n''t Father good to give me a new set? 35178 And now hurry, child, for here''s Ben coming,"as steps sounded in the hall, and then his voice asking,"Where''s Mamsie?" |
| 35178 | And now what? |
| 35178 | And now, what have you done with the check? |
| 35178 | And where do you live? |
| 35178 | And whom have we here? |
| 35178 | Anything I can show you, madam? |
| 35178 | Anything else for second choice? |
| 35178 | Are Matthew and Mark goin''? |
| 35178 | Are n''t they so? |
| 35178 | Are some boys coming? |
| 35178 | Are you Polly? |
| 35178 | Are you going? |
| 35178 | Are you sick, Polly? |
| 35178 | Are you sure you are through? |
| 35178 | Are you sure, madam, that you are not hurt? |
| 35178 | Ask him what? |
| 35178 | At Miss Barnard''s, is she? |
| 35178 | Aunty,--Polly flew down the steps,--"oh, ca n''t we,"she cried desperately,"go over and get Alexia; ca n''t we, Aunty?" |
| 35178 | Ben, what in the world is the matter? |
| 35178 | Bensie, are you here? 35178 But do n''t you understand that these things will hurt Jasper?" |
| 35178 | But if you hain''got''em, why you hain'',said Candace, with decision;"so what''s de nex''bes''ting to do?" |
| 35178 | But the name,--you can not think of it? |
| 35178 | But what have the children to do with it? |
| 35178 | But what is it? |
| 35178 | But where will you keep all your eatables? |
| 35178 | But where? |
| 35178 | But why should I wait before I see him? |
| 35178 | COULD YOU TAKE HIM, BEN? |
| 35178 | Ca n''t I, Polly? 35178 Ca n''t go? |
| 35178 | Ca n''t you let up on him, Bony? |
| 35178 | Ca n''t you play ball with him? |
| 35178 | Ca n''t you read your letter and let Polly tell just the same? 35178 Ca n''t you see the minister comin''? |
| 35178 | Can they? |
| 35178 | Can we go now? |
| 35178 | Can we, Papa Fisher? |
| 35178 | Candace, do you really want Jocko; really and truly? |
| 35178 | Caps? 35178 Check? |
| 35178 | Come on, Ben, where shall we tie him? |
| 35178 | Dear me, yes; what do you suppose could have induced me to go into such a mob? |
| 35178 | Dear me,she said, looking at her palm,"what have we here, Joel?" |
| 35178 | Did I what? |
| 35178 | Did I? 35178 Did n''t you?" |
| 35178 | Did she hear? |
| 35178 | Did you ever see such sweet little fingers? |
| 35178 | Did you promise her? |
| 35178 | Did you say there was a letter come in that box? |
| 35178 | Did you, Mammy? |
| 35178 | Did you? |
| 35178 | Do come out,cried Ben;"whoever heard of trying to put on a coat in a closet? |
| 35178 | Do n''t I though? |
| 35178 | Do n''t say anything, Joel,said Ben, hurriedly, and dragging him off;"here, just look at that steam- engine, will you?" |
| 35178 | Do n''t we? |
| 35178 | Do n''t you know the boys you are going to give the clothes to? |
| 35178 | Do n''t you know what they''ve been doing? |
| 35178 | Do n''t you see they''re a good bit on the way home already? |
| 35178 | Do n''t you see, Mother? 35178 Do n''t you wish you may get''em?" |
| 35178 | Do n''t you wish you may? |
| 35178 | Do you keep gloves? |
| 35178 | Do you like it? |
| 35178 | Do you mean I''m to go without you, ma''am? |
| 35178 | Do you mean it; are we going to do anything, Ben? |
| 35178 | Do you mean we are not to go, Mamsie? |
| 35178 | Do you realize,he said at length,"that you would break down all Ben''s best powers if you had your way with him?" |
| 35178 | Do you suppose for an instant that I''m going to play on that old table when I have a brand- new one that Sister Marian gave me last night? 35178 Do you t''ink any mouse is a- goin''to touch my t''ings when he can hear dat ar monkey a- singin''an''carryin''on? |
| 35178 | Do you want Jocko? |
| 35178 | Do you, Grandpapa? |
| 35178 | Do you, though? |
| 35178 | Does n''t it? |
| 35178 | Does she? 35178 Does she?" |
| 35178 | Don''I? |
| 35178 | Don''you? |
| 35178 | Easy, easy there; sho now, ca n''t you let her get down? |
| 35178 | Elvira,said Polly, getting down on her knees to look into the angry eyes,"what did I tell you? |
| 35178 | Emily? |
| 35178 | For shame? |
| 35178 | For whom? |
| 35178 | Goodness me, have you kept that up all the while I''ve been gone? |
| 35178 | Got a ball, Pip? |
| 35178 | Had n''t I better hold it? |
| 35178 | Had n''t what? 35178 Halloo, Polly, you there?" |
| 35178 | Has any one dared to speak to our Bony? |
| 35178 | Has any one seen Mamsie? |
| 35178 | Has she gone? |
| 35178 | Has that girl got to pay? |
| 35178 | Have I? |
| 35178 | Have n''t you? |
| 35178 | Have we? |
| 35178 | Have you found him, Ben? |
| 35178 | Have you got any caps? |
| 35178 | Having a good time, Pip? |
| 35178 | He ai n''t gone an''chewed up dat ar pincushion you made Mas''r Jasper? |
| 35178 | He won''send him away to de Zoo, will he, honey? |
| 35178 | He''s a-- sweet-- dear-- little thing--at last he made out to say,"isn''t-- he-- Polly?" |
| 35178 | He''s done gone to-- whar''s dat place he come from, Miss Polly? |
| 35178 | Hey-- Harrison road? 35178 Hey-- what is it?" |
| 35178 | Hey? 35178 Hey? |

| 35178 | Hey? |
| 35178 | Hey? |

| 35178 | His-- his father is dead? |
| 35178 | Hoh, do n''t you wish you may get it, Joe Pepper, do n''t you, now? |
| 35178 | Honest Injun, now? |
| 35178 | How am I going to lose it? |
| 35178 | How can I tell? |
| 35178 | How did you know, Joel? 35178 How is he?" |
| 35178 | How much did it cost? |
| 35178 | How much is it? |
| 35178 | How much is it? |
| 35178 | How much is it? |
| 35178 | How''d she get hurt? |
| 35178 | How''d you know, Master Ben? |
| 35178 | How? |
| 35178 | Hush up, Grayson, ca n''t you have some sense? |
| 35178 | I do n''t believe Ben will want to go very often,said Jasper, with a little laugh,"will you, old fellow?" |
| 35178 | I know you''re sick,contradicted Joel, stubbornly; and bounding to his feet,"Where''s Mamsie?" |
| 35178 | I mean_ she_,--has_ she_ gone? |
| 35178 | I see,said Mother Fisher,"it''s the one Grandpapa gave you last birthday, is n''t it, Phronsie?" |
| 35178 | I''m not going to stay by myself,cried Joel, in the greatest distress,"need I, Polly?" |
| 35178 | I''m not going; I wo n''t, I won''t,--I--"Joey, what_ is_ the matter? |
| 35178 | I''ve got a letter? |
| 35178 | I''ve got a letter? |
| 35178 | Is Aunty Whitney sick? |
| 35178 | Is Mrs. Whitney out in the carriage? |
| 35178 | Is it true-- is Jasper coming home? |
| 35178 | Is it? 35178 Is it?" |
| 35178 | Is n''t Aunty Whitney too lovely for anything to take us out to buy our Christmas presents? 35178 Is n''t home?" |
| 35178 | Is n''t it no end jolly that we''re going, Polly? |
| 35178 | Is that all? |
| 35178 | Is that so, Jane? |
| 35178 | Is there anything else you want, Master Jasper? |
| 35178 | It''s the littlest, ai n''t it? |
| 35178 | Jocko? 35178 Joel, did you promise to go and help Madam Van Ruypen?" |
| 35178 | Let me see,--the old gentleman drummed on the writing- table, rubbing his white hair with an absorbed hand,--"Lef-- Lef? |
| 35178 | Let us in, Pepper, will you? |
| 35178 | Look up, pet; now do n''t you want to buy Grandpapa a big, big present with all of us? |
| 35178 | MR. KING, WHO IS THAT PIP YOU HAVE HERE? |
| 35178 | Madam-- Madam--"Madam Van Ruypen? |
| 35178 | Mammy, ca n''t I carry the letter part way to the minister''s? |
| 35178 | Mammy, ca n''t I read it? |
| 35178 | Mammy, may n''t I read it? 35178 Mammy, may n''t I?" |
| 35178 | May I? 35178 May n''t I? |
| 35178 | Mittens? |
| 35178 | Mr. Bramble, is that true? |
| 35178 | Mr. Cabot gave us a present? |
| 35178 | My lan''o''Goshen, how you know dat? 35178 Naughty?" |
| 35178 | Never mind, what is it? |
| 35178 | No, I did n''t bite you, did I, Pip? |
| 35178 | No, really? |
| 35178 | No, we are not,said Polly,"really and truly we are not; are we, Ben?" |
| 35178 | Not the first evening you were at home? |
| 35178 | Not when we are going to buy them? |
| 35178 | Now ca n''t we open the bundles? |
| 35178 | Now do n''t you see how you are frightening this child to death? |
| 35178 | Now how yer goin''ter git by, an''what be yer runnin''so fur anyway, Mis''Hansell? |
| 35178 | Now is n''t that fine? |

| 35178 | Now then, sir, what is it? |
| 35178 | Now then, what is it? 35178 Now this is jolly, is n''t it?" |
| 35178 | Now which do you choose? |
| 35178 | Now which one of the girls shall you allow to go to Madam Van Ruypen''s? |
| 35178 | Now, Alexia, are n''t you ashamed to act so? |
| 35178 | Now, is n''t he a dear? |
| 35178 | Now, then, Ben, are these all the things you can find here, pray tell? |
| 35178 | Now, then, what is it, my lad? |
| 35178 | Now, what did I tell you? |
| 35178 | Now, what is it, Matilda Hansell? |
| 35178 | Now, what shall we do, Ben Pepper? 35178 Now, who is Polly?" |
| 35178 | O dear, where is Papa Doctor? |
| 35178 | Oh, Aunt will let me quick enough,said Alexia;"but do you really mean it? |
| 35178 | Oh, Ben, what is it? |
| 35178 | Oh, I say,began Pickering, after this had gone on for some minutes,"this is a sweet way to go to Mr. King''s, is n''t it?" |
| 35178 | Oh, Joel, what is it? |
| 35178 | Oh, Joel,--Polly seized his hands and stood quite still,--"you do n''t mean Jasper is coming soon?" |
| 35178 | Oh, Joey, what is it? |
| 35178 | Oh, Mamsie, what_ is_ the matter with Ben? |
| 35178 | Oh, Polly,she exclaimed,"are you sick?" |
| 35178 | Oh, am I? |
| 35178 | Oh, and ca n''t she stay over night, Aunty? |
| 35178 | Oh, are you back again? |
| 35178 | Oh, dem? |

| 35178 | Oh, he won''send him to de Zoo, will he, Miss Polly? |
| 35178 | Oh, how do you do? |
| 35178 | Oh, if you do n''t mind-- are you tired of chess? |
| 35178 | Oh, ma''am,she cried,"ca n''t you tell me who you are, and we will get you home?" |
| 35178 | Oh, mercy me, what you been a- eatin'', Susan? 35178 Oh, no, he wo n''t touch it; will you, Davie?" |
| 35178 | Oh, only one? |
| 35178 | Oh, say,he broke out, and down the book went to the floor,"what shall we do now, I wonder?" |
| 35178 | Oh, that''s good,cried Jasper;"and nothing has happened to him, I hope?" |
| 35178 | Oh, what did you do last night? |
| 35178 | Oh, what was it? 35178 Oh, wo n''t it?" |
| 35178 | Oh, ye''ve waked up, hev ye? |
| 35178 | Oh, you do n''t suppose he does, Ben, do you? |
| 35178 | Oh, you naughty, naughty-- Oh, Ben, what has Jocko got in his mouth? 35178 Oh, you want to pay for it?" |
| 35178 | Outdoors? |
| 35178 | Party? |
| 35178 | Percy-- Van-- what is it, do you know? |
| 35178 | Pickering Dodge, we are n''t near Mr. King''s yet,she declared, peering out;"we have n''t got to-- oh, yes we have-- O dear me, what shall we do?" |
| 35178 | Pip? |
| 35178 | Polly Pepper, where_ are_ you going? |
| 35178 | Polly Pepper,gasped Alexia,"how can you say so? |
| 35178 | Polly, ca n''t I? 35178 Polly, how can you?" |
| 35178 | Polly,said Jasper, and his dark eyes shone,"I think Ben can do just anything, do n''t you, if he tries?" |
| 35178 | Put what back? |
| 35178 | Read what? |
| 35178 | Really, Ben? |
| 35178 | Sakes alive, Mis''Hansell, are you deef? |
| 35178 | Say Matilda could carry the letter part way? |
| 35178 | Say, Polly, did you ever know anything like it? |
| 35178 | See dar now, Miss Polly, did you eber know I had dat in my shop? |
| 35178 | See here, ca n''t you do something for him? |
| 35178 | See, it''s thick and warm, is n''t it? |
| 35178 | Sha n''t you tell her you sent it? |
| 35178 | Shall I read to you, Jasper? |
| 35178 | She''ll get all tired out to begin with,she said to Ben,"then what should we do?" |
| 35178 | She''ll hear us now, anyway,said Joel, thrust into the depths of gloom, his independence completely deserting him;"what''ll we do?" |
| 35178 | Shin? |
| 35178 | Shore? |
| 35178 | So you like it,--eh? |
| 35178 | So you want a cat? |
| 35178 | So? |
| 35178 | Stay,she laid a detaining hand upon his arm;"where did he live?" |
| 35178 | The big man, the one who''s ahead of you all? |
| 35178 | The question is, Will she allow me to send these children to school? |
| 35178 | The what? |
| 35178 | Then what are you whispering for? |
| 35178 | Then will you let Pip alone? |
| 35178 | There''s room enough for us both, is n''t there? |
| 35178 | There, who''s hurt now? |
| 35178 | True? |
| 35178 | WHERE''S PIP? |
| 35178 | Was n''t he kind, Candace? |
| 35178 | Well, Matthew''s our biggest boy, ai n''t he? |
| 35178 | Well, and do you want to take Alexia away? 35178 Well, and then, Polly, what next?" |
| 35178 | Well, do you children want it? |
| 35178 | Well, er-- on what do you recommend him? |
| 35178 | Well, go on, Polly, she took a great fancy to him-- and what then? |
| 35178 | Well, go on, Polly; and so Ben bought things? |
| 35178 | Well, he did n''t bite you,said Ben, with a laugh, and taking possession of the thin little fingers once more,"eh, Pip?" |
| 35178 | Well, let me see, where was I? 35178 Well, now, do n''t you suppose, seeing that you are here, that you can hold that other end for me? |
| 35178 | Well, sir, and now what shall we draw? |
| 35178 | Well, supposing this boy, this Pip, does come,said Madam Van Ruypen, much discomfited,"what of it? |
| 35178 | Well, then, how can you go on so? |
| 35178 | Well, what can be done about it? |
| 35178 | Well, what did they buy, Polly? 35178 Well, what do you want to do now?" |
| 35178 | Well, what do you want your young friend to have with us-- what kind of a position? |
| 35178 | Well, what do you want? |
| 35178 | Well, what does she want? 35178 Well, what has he been doing?" |
| 35178 | Well, what is it? |
| 35178 | Well, what shall we do? |
| 35178 | Well, what''s it all about, anyway? |
| 35178 | Well, when did it come, Polly? |
| 35178 | Well, where is a good place? |
| 35178 | Well, which do you choose? |
| 35178 | Well, who is he? 35178 Well,"said Polly, pushing back the little rings of brown hair from her forehead,"where shall I begin? |
| 35178 | Well? |
| 35178 | Were you picking out toys for the poor children when we saw you yesterday? |
| 35178 | Whar''s dat? |
| 35178 | What are you doing yourself,said Ben,"I sh''d like to know, Joel Pepper?" |
| 35178 | What are you two chaffing about? |
| 35178 | What boys, pray tell? |
| 35178 | What did I tell you? |
| 35178 | What did you go over to Madam Van Ruypen''s for? 35178 What do you choose?" |
| 35178 | What do you mean? |
| 35178 | What do you say, Candace? |
| 35178 | What do you think? |
| 35178 | What for? 35178 What for?" |
| 35178 | What harm will they do, Polly? |

| 35178 | What was it, Ben? |
| 35178 | What was it, Polly? |
| 35178 | What whole thing? |
| 35178 | What would it be like to go to Ben''s house and be with him all the time? |
| 35178 | What you got on? |
| 35178 | What you sittin''there for? |
| 35178 | What''s a journey? |
| 35178 | What''s an old pen, anyway? 35178 What''s been too much?" |
| 35178 | What''s she saying? 35178 What''s that funny noise?" |
| 35178 | What''s that you say, Candace? |

| 35178 | What? |
| 35178 | What_ are_ you doing, Polly Pepper? |
| 35178 | What_ have_ you been about, Joe? |
| 35178 | What_ you_ got? |
| 35178 | Whatever in the world are you talking of? |
| 35178 | Whatever shall we do with Candace, and what_ will_ happen to Jocko? 35178 When did it come? |
| 35178 | When is he coming? |
| 35178 | Where ai n''t I goin'', Mammy? |
| 35178 | Where are they? |
| 35178 | Where are you going, Joe? |
| 35178 | Where are you going, sir? |
| 35178 | Where are you going? |
| 35178 | Where are you going? |
| 35178 | Where be you, Elviry? |
| 35178 | Where did he get the pins? |
| 35178 | Where is he? 35178 Where is he?" |
| 35178 | Where''d you get''em? |
| 35178 | Where''s Elviry? |
| 35178 | Where''s Pip? 35178 Where''s the big man?" |
| 35178 | Where''s the other boy? |
| 35178 | Where''ve you been, and what''ve you got? |
| 35178 | Where? |
| 35178 | Where? |
| 35178 | Where? |
| 35178 | Which one? |
| 35178 | Who is he? |
| 35178 | Who sent you here, anyway? |
| 35178 | Who''s Santa Claus? |
| 35178 | Who''s keeping us waiting now, I wonder? |
| 35178 | Who, Jane? |
| 35178 | Who, Polly? |
| 35178 | Who? 35178 Who?" |
| 35178 | Who? |
| 35178 | Who? |
| 35178 | Who? |
| 35178 | Who? |
| 35178 | Who? |
| 35178 | Whoever do you mean? |
| 35178 | Why did I? 35178 Why did you pull me back?" |
| 35178 | Why not? |
| 35178 | Why, what is it? 35178 Why, where is the whip?" |
| 35178 | Will she allow it? 35178 Will that suit your Majesty?" |
| 35178 | Will the mother allow it? |
| 35178 | Will you for shore, Mas''r Ben? |
| 35178 | Will you, Joel? |
| 35178 | Without Jasper? |
| 35178 | Would n''t he? |
| 35178 | Would n''t it be good fun to go up to the mountains, where those poor children came from, next summer? |
| 35178 | Would n''t the bureau handle be better? |
| 35178 | Would you rather tie? |
| 35178 | Yes, I know, that would have been dreadful, would n''t it, Candace? |
| 35178 | Yes, and likely enough you''ll forget all about it and stick your own hand in,said Ben,"then, says I, what''ll you do, Joel?" |
| 35178 | Yes, ca n''t we? 35178 Yes, to all of us; was n''t he dear?" |
| 35178 | You and I would have some sport, eh, Ben? |
| 35178 | You are, dear? |
| 35178 | You can have a nice time looking out of the window, eh, Pip? |
| 35178 | You did n''t say anything of the shopping plan, Ben? |
| 35178 | You knew Emily? |
| 35178 | You know I did n''t, Polly, do n''t you? |
| 35178 | You know Jocko--"Hey? |
| 35178 | You mean when you were coming home in the carriage? |
| 35178 | You must n''t and you ca n''t, because--"Because what? |
| 35178 | You see,she began--"Oh, would you please wait?" |
| 35178 | You''re Ben, are n''t you? |
| 35178 | You''re coming up? |
| 35178 | Your name, girl, and your brother? |
| 35178 | _ In the closet?_repeated Larry, his blue eyes opening their widest. |
| 35178 | _ My_ monkey? |
| 35178 | _ What?_roared the old gentleman, amazed beyond his control. |
| 35178 | _ You''ve got a box._"I? |
| 35178 | ''Fraid- cat,"said Matilda, scornfully,"ca n''t you scrouge back?" |
| 35178 | --Joel plunged into him;"where''ve you been?" |
| 35178 | --he started and put out a strong hand to catch her as she swayed in her chair,--"what is it? |
| 35178 | Ain''dat fine, dough?" |
| 35178 | And now he shivered as her thin, high voice piped out,"Where''s that other boy?" |
| 35178 | And there''s a telegram come,--and, oh, Ben, can it be Jasper?" |
| 35178 | And what are you in such a hurry to get to Madam Van Ruypen''s for? |
| 35178 | Are n''t these just fine?" |
| 35178 | Are n''t you ashamed?" |
| 35178 | At last he broke out,"Oh, Grandpapa, may we all go? |
| 35178 | At this the young man deserted his figures, thrust his pencil in the thicket of tow hair, and said,"Hey, that you, McKenzie?" |
| 35178 | Ben Pepper, what_ are_ you saying?" |
| 35178 | Bramble?" |
| 35178 | Bramble?" |
| 35178 | But have you been all this time picking out a paltry one?" |
| 35178 | But he was last, and he looked back; then somebody sang out,''Where''s Pip?''" |
| 35178 | But is n''t it perfectly splendid that we can go alone, you and I, and, just think, Polly Pepper, can take the children?" |
| 35178 | But what I want to know from you, Joel, is, will you help me out with those boys?" |
| 35178 | But where should she fly? |
| 35178 | But why couldn''you take a white one, honey? |
| 35178 | Ca n''t I, Grandpapa?" |
| 35178 | Ca n''t you see for yourself, Ben?" |
| 35178 | Ca n''t you see you ought not to do it?" |
| 35178 | Cabot?" |
| 35178 | Can it be? |
| 35178 | Come, Polly, you''ll come, wo n''t you?" |
| 35178 | Cornelius Leffingwell was--""Cornelius?" |
| 35178 | Could n''t ye have done as I said? |
| 35178 | Could she be the same person as this woman, wiping her eyes, so touched by the little cheer he had given to her perplexity? |
| 35178 | Did Mr. Cabot really give it to you?" |
| 35178 | Did you think I meant to leave Polly out?" |
| 35178 | Do n''t you see you''re only making us feel worse?" |
| 35178 | Do you hear me?" |
| 35178 | Do you hear?" |
| 35178 | Do you understand, Joe?" |
| 35178 | Do you understand, Pip?" |
| 35178 | Do you want it?" |
| 35178 | Does any one know where he is?" |
| 35178 | Don''you''member how you brung it down here for Candace to match you some pink cord to go right round de aidge?" |
| 35178 | Get in, ca n''t ye? |
| 35178 | Has Madam Van Ruypen really sent for those poor children up in the mountains?" |
| 35178 | Have n''t you made a mistake and brought it too early, Hobson? |
| 35178 | He could n''t turn, for what might be back of him in the darkness? |
| 35178 | He read on-- whirled a page-- what was that, a sigh? |
| 35178 | Here, why do n''t you bunch for me?" |
| 35178 | How shall we begin, we''ve so very much to tell? |
| 35178 | I have accepted for the others; why not for you?" |
| 35178 | Is Polly going?" |
| 35178 | Is n''t it, Ben?" |
| 35178 | Is that his name?" |
| 35178 | Is that the idea?" |
| 35178 | Joel, racing along the hall at the sound of the arrival, panted,"What is it? |
| 35178 | Laws, you''d''a''thought it was jus''made for it, would n''t you now, Miss Polly?" |
| 35178 | Madam Van Ruypen?" |
| 35178 | May I?" |
| 35178 | Meantime Jasper was asking,"Well, Father, how are you going to get Jocko down to Candace''s?" |
| 35178 | Mr. King, who is that Pip you have with you?" |
| 35178 | Mr. St. John,"you understand, do n''t you, that Matthew and Mark are to go, and one of the girls, to visit Mrs. Van Ruypen?" |
| 35178 | Must we wait for this tiresome boy?" |
| 35178 | Not that boy who almost killed Jasper King?" |
| 35178 | Now how many want to put in their money to buy one big, nice present for Grandpapa instead of little bits of ones? |
| 35178 | Now may we go, Mamsie?" |
| 35178 | Now then, Joel, do you know what I wanted to see you for, and the errand that made me take all the trouble to call on you the other day?" |
| 35178 | Now will you do it, Joel? |
| 35178 | Now, how big is the boy you want it for?" |
| 35178 | Now, then, will you get up?" |
| 35178 | Now, what is it?" |
| 35178 | Oh, Hobson, who is it for?" |
| 35178 | Oh, Jasper, do n''t you suppose we can go?" |
| 35178 | Oh, Mamsie, what would a college education amount to for me? |
| 35178 | Oh, Polly, what for?" |
| 35178 | Oh, do you mean it?" |
| 35178 | Oh, goody,"and,"O dear, how can she?" |
| 35178 | Oh, is that you?" |
| 35178 | Oh, then, you do n''t like the plan, Joe?" |
| 35178 | Oh, what''s she saying?" |
| 35178 | Oh, why had she given way to her passion? |
| 35178 | Oh, you are almost through, are you?" |
| 35178 | Polly had n''t half finished,"Is Alexia Rhys here, and can I see her?" |
| 35178 | Presents? |
| 35178 | S''posin''she does? |
| 35178 | Seeing which Jasper spoke up:"Oh, it would be fine to have them go to school, would n''t it?" |
| 35178 | She did not add,"And how can I, without anything to wear?" |
| 35178 | Tell me, Polly, what is it?" |
| 35178 | That is, if Candace will allow it?" |
| 35178 | Thunder an''lightnin'', an''that was where ye were goin''?" |
| 35178 | VII"WHERE''S PIP?" |
| 35178 | WHO WILL HELP? |
| 35178 | Was Bob really to be pursued by the shark, or would the good sailor who had befriended him before, save him now? |
| 35178 | Well, Mrs. Hansell, what do you say?" |
| 35178 | Well, anyway,--Polly, where are you?" |
| 35178 | Well, do you want it?" |
| 35178 | Well, now, do you vote for it, Joe?" |
| 35178 | Well, somebody was fool enough to scream out,''Where''s Pip?'' |
| 35178 | Well, what else?" |
| 35178 | Well, what shall we choose, Ben?" |
| 35178 | Well, where is the monkey now?" |
| 35178 | Well, who cares about your Pip?" |
| 35178 | What are you crying for?" |
| 35178 | What are you talking about?" |
| 35178 | What can be the matter?" |
| 35178 | What can it be, Joel?" |
| 35178 | What can it be?" |
| 35178 | What do you want to buy now?" |
| 35178 | What does she want you to do, Joe?" |
| 35178 | What is it, Jasper,--eh?" |
| 35178 | What is it?" |
| 35178 | What is it?" |
| 35178 | What is that you are saying?" |
| 35178 | What was it?" |
| 35178 | What would you send to poor children for their Christmas?" |
| 35178 | What''d you say? |
| 35178 | Whatever did you speak of that mountain camp for now, Jasper King?" |
| 35178 | Whatever makes you, Polly?" |
| 35178 | When they had turned into a convenient corner,"See here,"said the salesman, and his face paled,"you wo n''t tell on me, will you?" |
| 35178 | Where are all the others, Ben?" |
| 35178 | Where be ye goin''?" |
| 35178 | Where in the world were the two boys just come home from school? |
| 35178 | Where is it?" |
| 35178 | Where is she?" |
| 35178 | Where''s that other boy that was at supper last night?" |
| 35178 | Where''s your room?" |
| 35178 | Which shall it be?" |
| 35178 | Who brung him?" |
| 35178 | Why ca n''t you stay to tea with her? |
| 35178 | Why do n''t I ask you to come and help me tie laurel strips?" |
| 35178 | Why had she told Jasper about the monkey? |
| 35178 | Why, Ben Pepper, what are you thinking of? |
| 35178 | Why, you are all to stay; did n''t you hear Mamsie say so?" |
| 35178 | Will you tell Carson to bring them in?" |
| 35178 | Will you?" |
| 35178 | Would you please tell Alexia to hurry?" |
| 35178 | XVI WHO WILL HELP? |
| 35178 | XXVI"COULD YOU TAKE HIM, BEN?" |
| 35178 | XXVII"MR. KING, WHO IS THAT PIP YOU HAVE HERE?" |
| 35178 | Yer Gran''pa''s done gib me dat ar monkey, an''don''yo''suppose I''m goin''ter gib nuffin''? |
| 35178 | You ca n''t read it either,"said Mrs. Hansell at length, in the midst of Mark''s"What did I tell you, Mammy? |
| 35178 | You know my ole safe?" |
| 35178 | You showed them to Phronsie once for her dolls, do n''t you remember?" |
| 35178 | You''re not to do it if you do n''t wish to, of course, so what''s the use in feeling so? |
| 35178 | You''ve got a letter, Mammy, in the box, and may n''t I read it?" |
| 35178 | [ Illustration:"DID YOU EVER SEE SUCH SWEET LITTLE FINGERS?" |
| 35178 | and pointing off toward the back drawing- room,"Say, Hannah, has she?" |
| 35178 | asked David, who always followed Joel''s movements with attention;"what are you going to do with a pin, Joel?" |
| 35178 | ca n''t we?" |
| 35178 | cried Jasper,"ca n''t you find some candy? |
| 35178 | cried Phronsie, in great delight;"and was n''t he a nice Santa Claus?" |
| 35178 | cried Polly, in consternation, all the color gone out of her face;"what shall we do?" |
| 35178 | demanded Joel, who had caught the words, and whirling around suddenly;"sha n''t you tell her about any of the things?" |
| 35178 | exclaimed Grandpapa;"and of course David wants to go-- eh, Davie, my lad?" |
| 35178 | exclaimed Mr. Bramble, in a mighty shout that puffed out his red cheeks like small bellows,"''tain''t so bad as that, is it? |
| 35178 | gasped Alexia, wringing her long fingers together,"I did n''t mean-- oh, what have I done?" |
| 35178 | he asked in a dreadful whisper; and clutching the maid''s arm,"has she, Hannah?" |
| 35178 | he demanded, his black eyes flashing and his eyes working dreadfully;"say, tell me, has she?" |
| 35178 | how did that fellow dare to address me?" |
| 35178 | screamed Joel,"where''ve you been?" |
| 35178 | she cried to Phronsie, sitting there in a small heap and sobbing pitifully,"how''d she get hurt?" |
| 35178 | she exclaimed in alarm, and seizing the end of his blouse,"you wo n''t refuse to help me? |
| 35178 | she exclaimed, flying off from the sofa;"what is the matter with Ben?" |
| 35178 | she exclaimed,"what''s the matter?" |
| 35178 | the little man whirled around to stare at him,--"your brother then?" |
| 35178 | where_ is_ the other armhole?" |
| 35178 | who''s got those peanuts?" |
| 35178 | why, where,"--Ben was beaming at him now, as Pip lifted his face,--"how did you learn to draw like that?" |
| 6418 | A Cooking Club is to be formed''--didn''t you hear her? |
| 6418 | A beggaire, is it? |
| 6418 | A boy? |
| 6418 | A what? |
| 6418 | After your mother died, what place was there for her to go? 6418 And Larry''s''most killed, and----"Jasper interrupted him sharply,"What do you say, Frick?" |
| 6418 | And Mrs. Sterling wants them invited in here to wait? |
| 6418 | And Polly-- oh, goody!--now do n''t you see we wo n''t have to ask the boys to join this? 6418 And if God wants it to rain, why we must be glad, must n''t we, Grandpapa, if he really wants it?" |
| 6418 | And is that the way you respond to your invitations, my boy? |
| 6418 | And may she stay here for ever and ever,cried Phronsie,"and not go back to that un- nice old lady? |
| 6418 | And may we have your scissors, Mamsie? |
| 6418 | And may we have your scissors, Mamsie? |
| 6418 | And so you wanted Ben to help you with it, eh? |
| 6418 | And was she ever a little girl? |
| 6418 | And what are you two whispering about? |
| 6418 | And what''ll Mis''Cabot and Mis''Alstyne say? |
| 6418 | And what''s the other, this side? |
| 6418 | And where is Alexia? |
| 6418 | And you said no, eh, Joel? |
| 6418 | And you want me, eh? |
| 6418 | And, boys, you know Joel would have gone if he could, do n''t you? |
| 6418 | Any boys here yet? |
| 6418 | Any harm in that? 6418 Anything in our line to- day, sir?" |
| 6418 | Are they all gone, Mamsie? |
| 6418 | Are they so? |
| 6418 | Are you all deaf? 6418 Are you sick, Grandpapa?" |
| 6418 | Are you sure you can manage them? |
| 6418 | Are you, really? |
| 6418 | Aunt, where are you? 6418 Bless me; what have we here?" |
| 6418 | But it''s awfully pretty,said Peletiah;"it runs all down over the stones, and under the trees and----""Where is it?" |
| 6418 | But this would make a set, yours and mine,said Polly breathlessly, and coming up to shake the downcast shoulders,"do n''t you see? |
| 6418 | But what could have tired her so? |
| 6418 | But what was he doing out on the pond in such a storm? |
| 6418 | But where shall we look for him? 6418 But who is this little gal?" |
| 6418 | Butter- pat? |
| 6418 | Ca n''t I stand up, Grandpapa? |
| 6418 | Ca n''t Peletiah come? |
| 6418 | Ca n''t one of you girls play? |
| 6418 | Ca n''t we have some mucilage? |
| 6418 | Ca n''t we sit in the dining- room? |
| 6418 | Ca n''t you keep out from under the horses''heels, I''d like to know? |
| 6418 | Can I keep''em just forever? 6418 Can I really go, Polly?" |
| 6418 | Can you, dear? |
| 6418 | Chil-- dren--it was Polly''s voice--"oh, where are you?" |
| 6418 | Child, child,she said in reproach,"what_ is_ the matter?" |
| 6418 | Could n''t he be the one to give out some of the letters, and help Jasper? |
| 6418 | Could n''t he, Ben? |
| 6418 | Could n''t you come first? |
| 6418 | Dear me,exclaimed old Mr. King again,"when do you ever expect to sell all those, Jasper?" |
| 6418 | Did I hurt you, child? |
| 6418 | Did Joel say he wanted pep''mints? |
| 6418 | Did he, Pet? |
| 6418 | Did n''t I tell you to let me alone? |
| 6418 | Did she ever play? |
| 6418 | Did we not? |
| 6418 | Did you ever see anything so dreadful? |
| 6418 | Did you ever see such perfectly dreadful boys to kick up such a dust? 6418 Did you hurt you? |
| 6418 | Did you know Mrs. Chatterton had come back? |
| 6418 | Did you think I did n''t know what was proper? |
| 6418 | Did you want me, Jack? |
| 6418 | Did you? |
| 6418 | Do I slip one stitch and then knit two? |
| 6418 | Do n''t you believe she will, Polly? |
| 6418 | Do n''t you know it''s your place to serve me? |
| 6418 | Do n''t you like it, Pet? |
| 6418 | Do n''t you see? |
| 6418 | Do n''t you understand? 6418 Do n''t you?" |
| 6418 | Do n''t you? |
| 6418 | Do n''t_ you? 6418 Do you give up your puzzles in favor of our making Jack''s pictures?" |
| 6418 | Do you have to obey a servant? |
| 6418 | Do you like it? |
| 6418 | Do you mean me? |
| 6418 | Do you mean that, honest true, black and blue? |
| 6418 | Do you mean, learn to make things on the kitchen range? |
| 6418 | Do you? |
| 6418 | Does any other boy have something to propose? |
| 6418 | Does n''t God know we want to help the poor children? |
| 6418 | Does n''t she, girls? |
| 6418 | Does she, Pele-- Pele-- say, does she? |
| 6418 | Does she? |
| 6418 | Does your head ache? 6418 Eh, what?" |
| 6418 | Eh-- eh, sor? 6418 Eh? |
| 6418 | Eh? |
| 6418 | Eh? |
| 6418 | Eh? |
| 6418 | Eh? |
| 6418 | Eh? |
| 6418 | For ever and always? |
| 6418 | Going somewhere, maybe? |
| 6418 | Had the row? |
| 6418 | Has n''t it, Alexia? |
| 6418 | Has she gone-- that dreadful, bad, old woman? |
| 6418 | Have Mrs. Alstyne and Mrs. Cabot bought those dolls? |
| 6418 | Have n''t I, Jasper, written a letter for the post office? 6418 Have n''t we?" |
| 6418 | Have n''t you ever had a child? |
| 6418 | Have you, dear? |
| 6418 | Have you, though? |
| 6418 | He hain''t done nothin''wrong, Jack hain''t? |
| 6418 | Hey, what have we got here? |
| 6418 | Hey, who is it? |
| 6418 | Hey-- what? |
| 6418 | Hey? 6418 Hey?" |
| 6418 | Hey? |
| 6418 | Hey? |
| 6418 | Hey? |
| 6418 | Hey? |
| 6418 | How are the letters coming on, Jasper? 6418 How are you, snob? |
| 6418 | How can I tell her about that dreadful green floss and those patterns? |
| 6418 | How did you hurt your arm? |
| 6418 | How did you know I am very fond of white meat, Joel? |
| 6418 | How in the world are they to know? |
| 6418 | How in the world did that spool get in here? |
| 6418 | How in the world does Jane ever make a bed, I wonder? |
| 6418 | How is it, Frick? |
| 6418 | How is she going to hear with the door shut, pray tell? |
| 6418 | How many? 6418 How much?" |
| 6418 | I hain''t got to go, have I, Ma? |
| 6418 | I mean till I get through my five- o''clock tea,cried the girl;"ca n''t you understand? |
| 6418 | I should say it was,declared Jack, fingering it lovingly as Joel thrust it into his hand with a,"Do you play?" |
| 6418 | I suppose you did n''t want to go, eh, Joel? |
| 6418 | I want to know what else? |
| 6418 | I would--he lifted a red and ashamed face--"only my arm----""Is it hurt?" |
| 6418 | I? 6418 In a bird''s nest? |
| 6418 | In that case,observed old Mr. King most gallantly,"let me lead you down, and will you give me the honor?" |
| 6418 | Is Alexia there? |
| 6418 | Is it really? |
| 6418 | Is it? |
| 6418 | Is old Miss Bedlow dead, Ma? |
| 6418 | Is she? 6418 Is that Jack laughing?" |
| 6418 | Is that all? 6418 Is that all?" |
| 6418 | Is that right? |
| 6418 | Is that so, sor? |
| 6418 | Is that so, sor? |
| 6418 | Is that true? |
| 6418 | Is this your room? |
| 6418 | Is your aunt in the closet, did you say? |
| 6418 | Is, she, Mamsie? |
| 6418 | It is a pleasant place, is n''t it? |
| 6418 | It is n''t as she says, is it? |
| 6418 | It''s aft- noon? 6418 Jane? |
| 6418 | Joel, are n''t you coming with that letter bag? |
| 6418 | Joel, what did you say? |
| 6418 | Joel? |
| 6418 | Just look on the top of the bookcase, will you? |
| 6418 | Keep still, ca n''t you? |
| 6418 | Ma,he cried, putting his head into the room to which it opened,"do you know where Jack is?" |
| 6418 | Mamsie will fix up things, wo n''t she, Grandpapa? |
| 6418 | Me? |
| 6418 | Mrs. Fisher, do you think you could be troubled enough to get Dicky boy''s purse, too? |
| 6418 | My little girl may come, ca n''t she, Grandpapa? |
| 6418 | My scissors? |
| 6418 | Never tell? |
| 6418 | No use--began another man, but Hamilton Dyce cried,"Which one can run the fastest for Doctor Fisher?" |
| 6418 | No, dear-- not to- day, because it would n''t be right; the parson and his wife only loaned you to me for to- day, but----"What''s''loaned''? |
| 6418 | No, is it? |
| 6418 | No,gasped Phronsie,"but oh, Polly, will you sit down on the grass?" |
| 6418 | Not a bit of it,declared that lady,"but, oh, Polly, do you suppose any one saw me?" |
| 6418 | Now do n''t pay any attention to Pickering,said Alexia, turning a cold shoulder to the last- mentioned individual;"do tell us, Jasper, what is it?" |
| 6418 | Now may I dance? |
| 6418 | Now then, Nell, are you a sensible girl? |
| 6418 | Now what else? |
| 6418 | Now what next? |
| 6418 | Now where are those two, Polly and Jasper? |
| 6418 | Now why ca n''t you sit down here and amuse me? |
| 6418 | Now, child----"Oh, Grandpapa, may I have the milk? |
| 6418 | Now, what is it? |
| 6418 | Now, you boys,cried Gibson, hurrying in, her cap strings flying in her perturbation,"do n''t you know no better than to jump up like that?" |
| 6418 | Oh, Alexia, how could I? |
| 6418 | Oh, Aunt, what''s that tagging after you? |
| 6418 | Oh, Candace, are you sure? |
| 6418 | Oh, Father, ca n''t I? 6418 Oh, Joel, where_ are_ you?" |
| 6418 | Oh, Van, if he went with Papa Fisher, how could he? 6418 Oh, an''the Pepper children ai n''t hurt?" |
| 6418 | Oh, have you collected butterflies? |
| 6418 | Oh, have you, Joel? 6418 Oh, is n''t it too bad that we ca n''t any of us find that ten- dollar bill Joel lost at the garden party?" |
| 6418 | Oh, it''s a plan, is it? |
| 6418 | Oh, misery!--where? |
| 6418 | Oh, really? |
| 6418 | Oh, shut up that, kid, will you? |
| 6418 | Oh, that? 6418 Oh, that?" |
| 6418 | Oh, well, you ai n''t acted so badly after all; maybe the pretty little lady has come to see me, hey? |
| 6418 | Oh, what can I do to help? |
| 6418 | Oh, what will Jane say? |
| 6418 | Oh, you wo n''t tell anybody but me, will you? |
| 6418 | Oh, your work?--is that it, Joel? |
| 6418 | Peletiah, what does your father want, do you know? |
| 6418 | Polly, what is all this? |
| 6418 | Polly, will you come? |
| 6418 | Polly, you and Alexia keep on hunting, wo n''t you? |
| 6418 | Polly,said Phronsie, with a gentle little twitch on her arm,"can you find any pink ribbon?" |
| 6418 | Rag? 6418 Relations?" |
| 6418 | Right away now? |
| 6418 | Say, Phronsie, where were you all this morning? |
| 6418 | Say, Polly, what do you want me for? |
| 6418 | Say, ca n''t I? 6418 See here,"he said,"we ought not to go, do n''t you know?" |
| 6418 | Shall I call him in? |
| 6418 | Shall I give him a lick? |
| 6418 | Shall you? |
| 6418 | She beat you? |
| 6418 | Since the things are gone, what is the use of talking about the matter? |
| 6418 | So Frick and the boys wanted you, eh? |
| 6418 | So sorry? 6418 So you have come, Rachel?" |
| 6418 | So you kept on at the door, eh, Frick? |
| 6418 | So you thought you''d rather stay and finish your hour on it, eh, my boy? |
| 6418 | So you want me to tell you how to arrange them, eh? |
| 6418 | Study? |
| 6418 | Sure, honey? |
| 6418 | Take care, child; where are you going? |
| 6418 | Tell me, please, what things? |
| 6418 | That''s what? |
| 6418 | That? |
| 6418 | The squirrel gave you? |
| 6418 | The storm is almost over, to be sure--glancing out of the window--"but where can he be?" |
| 6418 | Then ca n''t I sit there now? |
| 6418 | Then has any one of you any puzzles? |
| 6418 | Then may I dance again? |
| 6418 | Then why did n''t you go? |
| 6418 | Then why does he let it rain? |
| 6418 | There, old fellow, what did I tell you? |
| 6418 | There, who''s going to get up in Ben''s room first? |
| 6418 | To give to me? 6418 To whom?" |
| 6418 | Up in the closet? |
| 6418 | W''y could n''t you''a''looked whar you''re goin'', Mas''r Joel? |
| 6418 | Was it Pennsey''s where she was going for the sugar, Miss Rhys? |
| 6418 | Was n''t it? |
| 6418 | We need n''t wait for that, need we, Mamsie? |
| 6418 | We? |
| 6418 | Well, I was ahead first,declared Percy,"was n''t I, Polly-- wasn''t I?" |
| 6418 | Well, Jasper, do you think that smilax ought to be trained up there? |
| 6418 | Well, Joanna is going, is n''t she, Mamsie? |
| 6418 | Well, and so Mrs. Sterling has invited your friend, Joel, to some festivity, I suppose, eh? |
| 6418 | Well, how shall we begin, Polly? |
| 6418 | Well, is she Gran? |
| 6418 | Well, is that any reason why you should act so and scare the mistress to death? |
| 6418 | Well, is the conference over? |
| 6418 | Well, that''s the same thing,said Rachel;"she''s your Gran, is n''t she?" |
| 6418 | Well, we ca n''t, so what''s the use of saying that? |
| 6418 | Well, what does she say? |
| 6418 | Well, what else? |
| 6418 | Well, what have we here? |
| 6418 | Well, what is it? |
| 6418 | Well, what makes you save these? |
| 6418 | Well, what shall I say, then? |
| 6418 | Well, what you goin''to do about it? |
| 6418 | Well, what''s the next thing? |
| 6418 | Well, what''s the use? |
| 6418 | Well-- oh,''Will you please come to the first meeting?'' |
| 6418 | Were you beaten, you poor little thing? |
| 6418 | What are some of them? |
| 6418 | What are they, Jack? 6418 What are they?" |
| 6418 | What are they? |
| 6418 | What are you about there? |
| 6418 | What are you doing, Phronsie, sitting down in the middle of the stairs? |
| 6418 | What are you talking about, Joe? |
| 6418 | What are you whispering about? |
| 6418 | What big bill? |
| 6418 | What boys? |
| 6418 | What can we do for him? |
| 6418 | What did she do, child? |
| 6418 | What did yon say, Mr. Filbert? 6418 What did you say such dreadful things for, Alexia?" |
| 6418 | What did you say was the matter in the kitchen? |
| 6418 | What did you say? 6418 What did you say?" |
| 6418 | What do you know about these miserable Peppers that infest my cousin''s house, pray tell? |

| 6418 | Whatever shall[ we] do[ now]? |

| 6418 | Who''s Gran? |
| 6418 | Who, child? |
| 6418 | Who, dear? |
| 6418 | Who? |
| 6418 | Who? |
| 6418 | Who? |
| 6418 | Who? |
| 6418 | Whose is it? |
| 6418 | Why ca n''t we have a cooking club? |
| 6418 | Why could n''t Joey be a letter carrier, to help give out the letters? |
| 6418 | Why did n''t you come when I bade you? |
| 6418 | Why did n''t you say so before? 6418 Why did n''t you tell me that before?" |
| 6418 | Why did n''t you tell us before? |
| 6418 | Why do n''t we just say,''A Cooking Club is to be formed''? |
| 6418 | Why do n''t you come on? 6418 Why do n''t you have''em put back in your doll, Phronsie?" |
| 6418 | Why do n''t you say something? |
| 6418 | Why not put it in the other corner? |
| 6418 | Why not? |
| 6418 | Why, Phronsie, child, what are you going to do with them? |
| 6418 | Why, are you here, Alexia? |
| 6418 | Why, ca n''t you see? 6418 Why, does n''t it rain on your side?" |
| 6418 | Why, is n''t that enough? |
| 6418 | Why, my dear, are you ill? |
| 6418 | Why, of course not; do n''t you see I''m here? |
| 6418 | Why, what is the matter, child? |
| 6418 | Why, where--? |
| 6418 | Why, you are going to a working bee just the same as the big girls, are n''t you? |
| 6418 | Why-- where? |
| 6418 | Why? |
| 6418 | Will she be made unhappy by Jerusha, you mean? |
| 6418 | Will you bring us a tray of some of the nice things you always can get up, Gibson? |
| 6418 | Will you come into his study, then? |
| 6418 | Will you-- will you? |
| 6418 | Would n''t come where? |
| 6418 | Would you mind, Miss Alexia, doing this up yourself? |
| 6418 | Yes, and now what is it? |
| 6418 | Yes, yes, how do you do? 6418 Yes,"said the boy, as if he were going to add,"Well, what are you going to do about it?" |
| 6418 | You ai n''t? |
| 6418 | You do? |
| 6418 | You do? |
| 6418 | You have n''t the least idea, Frick, where to look for him, eh? |
| 6418 | You mean you''d made the bargain to do this work and you could n''t back out? |
| 6418 | You tell, Polly,cried Alexia, and"Let Polly Pepper tell, ca n''t she, Miss Mary?" |
| 6418 | You''ve come to- day? |
| 6418 | Young ladies,said Gibson, coming out softly,"would n''t you wish to go down into the drawing- room? |
| 6418 | --to herself--"what shall I do? |
| 6418 | And by and by the doctor is going to let you go to see him, and----""What things?" |
| 6418 | And many asked,"Who is that child?" |
| 6418 | And nobody would have bought it when it was done, except my mother-- I''d made her-- so what''s the use of finishing it? |
| 6418 | And now,"she added brightly,"I want you to come into the drawing- room, and----""What''s''drawing- room''?" |
| 6418 | And she burst out:"Where did you lose it, you nin--? |
| 6418 | And, Alexia, how is your aunt?" |
| 6418 | Are n''t you one of the postmen?" |
| 6418 | Are you killed?" |
| 6418 | As if to make matters worse, a voice out in the hall was heard:"_ Alexia?_""Misery me!" |
| 6418 | But Grandma did n''t hear, so he picked up Polly''s letter, which was open, and began in a singsong tone:"''Dear Mrs. Henderson--''""Hey?" |
| 6418 | But Joel, not hearing her, and hating to be dictated to by Percy, cried out persistently:"Say, Phron, what were you doing all the morning?" |
| 6418 | But Van burst out:"And the flowers''ll all be gone, so what''s the use of trying to have it then?" |
| 6418 | But she''s_ your_ Gran, is n''t she?" |
| 6418 | Ca n''t I make him come in?" |
| 6418 | Ca n''t she, Polly?" |
| 6418 | Ca n''t some one get this poor child a bit to eat?" |
| 6418 | Cummings?" |
| 6418 | Did Mrs. Henderson tell you to give it to me?" |
| 6418 | Did you s''pose I''d tell him after that?" |
| 6418 | Do n''t you know where he is? |
| 6418 | Do n''t you remember, I hurried over to Grandma Bascom''s with the little Pepper letters, and you said you''d talk it over with me when I got home? |
| 6418 | Do n''t you think that is fine, to have something to think of beside dismal things, when you lie in bed?" |
| 6418 | Do n''t you want to come with me to the fire?" |
| 6418 | Do n''t you want your oar?" |
| 6418 | Do n''t you?" |
| 6418 | Do you carry about such a face as that for nothing?" |
| 6418 | Do you promise?" |
| 6418 | Do you remember that scene, Elinor, at Geneva?" |
| 6418 | Do you think we might take this child?" |
| 6418 | Do you want to go too?" |
| 6418 | Does n''t he, Pick?" |
| 6418 | Dyce?" |
| 6418 | Fraser?" |
| 6418 | Grandpapa, wo n''t you take him to Doctor Fisher''s office? |
| 6418 | Hain''t she hurted bad?" |
| 6418 | Have n''t you ever heard that? |
| 6418 | Hey, there?" |
| 6418 | How are you, Polly? |
| 6418 | How could I, Alexia?" |
| 6418 | How d''ye, Polly, and Alexia, and all the rest of you?" |
| 6418 | How much did you say it was, Miss Angell?" |
| 6418 | How much is it?" |
| 6418 | I mean-- oh, dear me!--where, I say?" |

| 6418 | Is n''t that so?" |
| 6418 | Is that all, Polly?" |
| 6418 | It seemed an eternity to Jasper, for Joel perhaps even now might be in peril, before the next question was answered,"What row?" |
| 6418 | May I do''em?" |
| 6418 | May I go down and tell him now? |
| 6418 | May I, Grandpapa? |
| 6418 | May I, Grandpapa?" |
| 6418 | May she? |
| 6418 | May we?" |
| 6418 | My Grandpapa----"He was drowned in a storm of yells:"Your granddaddy? |
| 6418 | Now what do you say, Almira, to her coming here to us?" |
| 6418 | Now what shall we do first?" |
| 6418 | Now what you goin''to do about it?" |
| 6418 | Now, will you have some choc''late? |
| 6418 | Oh, Alexia, are you coming to help?" |
| 6418 | Oh, Polly, do you suppose it''s lightening and thundering now?" |
| 6418 | Oh, may she? |
| 6418 | Oh, what is it?" |
| 6418 | Oh, why had n''t she tried to keep cheerful instead of giving way to the general gloom? |
| 6418 | Old Miss Parrott gasped:"Why, my dear Pastor, and Mrs. Henderson, can the child sing like that?" |
| 6418 | Old Mr. King was rapidly exclaiming:"No, no; bless you, did you think I''d come at you in such a way? |
| 6418 | Over by the table Jasper was saying to Polly:"Now what shall we do with this dreadfully long evening? |
| 6418 | Patterson?" |
| 6418 | Percy, is that you?" |
| 6418 | Phronsie popped her head up like a bird out of its nest, and piped out:"Oh, please, Mamsie, may she stay?" |
| 6418 | Please, may she?" |
| 6418 | Polly, my child"--he leaned over her--"can''t you think up something to get us out of it?" |
| 6418 | Say, can I?" |
| 6418 | Say, did n''t I tell you?" |
| 6418 | Say, have n''t I?" |
| 6418 | Say, is she?" |
| 6418 | So what is it, Alexia?" |
| 6418 | So you fell upon him because he asked you to go somewhere, eh?" |
| 6418 | Sterling?" |

| 6418 | VII THE DISAPPOINTMENT"Will it stop, Grandpapa?" |
| 6418 | Was that really Curtis Park, whose rap on the door had announced him? |
| 6418 | We''re all waiting for you, do n''t you understand?" |
| 6418 | Well, he was a gre-- at big- bug, an''----""Who was?" |
| 6418 | Well, how do you do?" |
| 6418 | Well, now, I must n''t hinder you from your work"--old Mr. King turned briskly to his writing again--"or I shall be as bad as Frick-- eh, Joel?" |
| 6418 | What business is it of yours?" |
| 6418 | What can we do?" |
| 6418 | What could it possibly be that Clem was to make? |
| 6418 | What did make him come this afternoon?" |
| 6418 | What do you mean, and how could you see him?" |
| 6418 | What do you suppose she has been doing?" |
| 6418 | What note do you mean?" |
| 6418 | What should she do now to divert this little girl from her terror and distress? |
| 6418 | What''ll it be?" |
| 6418 | What''s ben a happenin''that Polly''s sorry?" |
| 6418 | What''s your name, little girl?" |
| 6418 | What?" |
| 6418 | What_ shall_ I do?" |
| 6418 | Whatever would she have to do with the Mistress''s beads? |
| 6418 | When she could speak she gasped,"What is it, Mary?" |
| 6418 | Where''s Peletiah?" |
| 6418 | Who''d ever b''lieve it?" |
| 6418 | Why, Pet, have I run too fast?" |
| 6418 | Why, you are not going out?" |
| 6418 | Will you have choc''late?--you must, Lady-- what''s your name, anyway?" |
| 6418 | Will you have some choc''late?" |
| 6418 | Wo n''t that do, ma''am?" |
| 6418 | Wo n''t you please make Joe hurry up and come?" |
| 6418 | XIV"CAN''T GO,"SAID JOEL"Joel-- where are you?" |
| 6418 | You ai n''t going to tell the old gentleman?" |
| 6418 | You did n''t notice that when you read the letter, did you, Almira?" |
| 6418 | You read the first part-- how they ran across the girl, and all that?" |
| 6418 | Your aunt was in the closet?" |
| 6418 | and how do you know?" |
| 6418 | and so they sent you for Joel?" |
| 6418 | asked Mrs. Sterling,"or conundrums? |
| 6418 | cried Alexia, throwing her arms around her,"you have n''t been struck, have you? |
| 6418 | cried Joel, on top of the messenger, and pommeling away briskly,"Say, did n''t I tell? |
| 6418 | cried Phronsie, as soon as she could get her breath,"when you all take your bags and work on things?" |
| 6418 | cried Phronsie, in a transport,"and can she have some of Polly''s clothes, Mamsie?" |
| 6418 | demanded Rachel impatiently--"anybody''s Gran-- just Gran? |
| 6418 | do I hurt?" |
| 6418 | exclaimed Miss Parrott, pulling her head out of the cupboard,"did you hurt yourself, child?" |
| 6418 | exclaimed Mr. King, leaning back in dismay,"whatever can you mean, my boy?" |
| 6418 | exclaimed old Mr. King, laying down his pen,"have you really got through, Joe?" |
| 6418 | he cried, in dismay, and his face grew terribly red,"did I upset that?" |
| 6418 | laughed Joel, snapping his fingers in derision,"you have n''t finished one yet, and beside, who can read your chicken tracks?" |
| 6418 | may I just have one good squint at that?" |
| 6418 | she said, running down from the stair- landing,"what are you doing?" |
| 6418 | what have I done?" |
| 6418 | what have we here?" |
| 6418 | what is it?" |
| 6418 | what''s this?" |
| 6418 | what_ are_ you doing?" |
| 6418 | when one is working over any thing it looks so different, does n''t it?" |
| 6418 | who is the first one to ask?" |
| 6418 | who''s the smart one now? |
| 6418 | why did you say such dreadful things?" |
| 6418 | why do n''t you throw it away?" |
| 6418 | you knew it?" |
| 7498 | A journey, Grandpapa? |
| 7498 | A surprise party? 7498 About Charlotte, you mean, Grandpapa?" |
| 7498 | Agreed? |
| 7498 | Ah-- King- Fisher, how is that? 7498 All?" |
| 7498 | Almshouse, I suppose, eh? |
| 7498 | Amy-- how can I tell it? 7498 And I suppose Christmas Day belongs to everybody, eh, Bayley?" |
| 7498 | And Polly strung all the pop- corn, and fixed the candle- ends somebody gave Mamsie, and--"Candle- ends? |
| 7498 | And did I have any? |
| 7498 | And did n''t Amy do nicely? |
| 7498 | And did we? |
| 7498 | And do n''t you remember it? |
| 7498 | And how can you question what your father does? |
| 7498 | And is he going to die? |
| 7498 | And left Mrs. Fargo without any little girl? |
| 7498 | And now you wo n''t make Polly see that Charlotte Chatterton ought not to be stuck into that Recital? |
| 7498 | And now, dear Papa Fisher, you''ll take it all back, wo n''t you? |
| 7498 | And so what is it that you want to tell me now? 7498 And so you really think you are getting on in your practice?" |
| 7498 | And the folks are coming home next week; that is, our folks-- good news-- eh, Charlotte? |
| 7498 | And then we''ll do something for you some time,declared Alexia,"all for yourself, wo n''t we, Clem-- something perfectly elegantly splendid?" |
| 7498 | And there is her Recital-- what will she do about that? |
| 7498 | And were n''t the gilt balls pretty? |
| 7498 | And what am I to do now, pray, to please you? |
| 7498 | And why should you stay at home? |
| 7498 | And will you never try me again-- and never give me music lessons? |
| 7498 | And will-- will you be disappointed in me? |
| 7498 | Any answer? |
| 7498 | Anything more to tell? |
| 7498 | Are Grandpapa and Jasper really coming? |
| 7498 | Are Joel and David Pepper soon to be in? |
| 7498 | Are n''t you glad? |
| 7498 | Are n''t you going to say anything? |
| 7498 | Are you afraid of me? 7498 Are you hurt anywhere?" |
| 7498 | Are you really and truly home, Polly? |
| 7498 | Are you sick, Polly? |
| 7498 | Are you strong enough? |
| 7498 | Are you sure of getting work when you reach Fall River? |
| 7498 | As if everybody did n''t know it? |
| 7498 | BUSINESS ALL RIGHT?] |
| 7498 | Bingley, could you manage to do this? |
| 7498 | Blame you? 7498 Bless me, what is Joel doing?" |
| 7498 | But if she should be worse? |
| 7498 | But now tell why Polly and Mr. King and all the family act so funnily? |
| 7498 | But what of that, child, pray? 7498 Ca n''t I, though? |
| 7498 | Ca n''t go to- night? |
| 7498 | Ca n''t tell me everything? |
| 7498 | Ca n''t we give it to another printer? |
| 7498 | Ca n''t you see for yourself? |
| 7498 | Can I leave him, Grandpapa? |
| 7498 | Can I leave the Ransom bills I was checking off? 7498 Can I see you a minute?" |
| 7498 | Can I? |
| 7498 | Can you suppose it? |
| 7498 | Can you take the night express? |
| 7498 | Charlotte poor? |
| 7498 | Charlotte, my girl, go and tell Polly to get in, will you? |
| 7498 | Charlotte, what are you talking about? |
| 7498 | Charlotte, why, what are you doing out here? |
| 7498 | Charlotte? |
| 7498 | Christmas Day? 7498 Could you go with me when I tell father?" |
| 7498 | Did I? |
| 7498 | Did Polly break her arm at-- at the first? |
| 7498 | Did Polly really say so? |
| 7498 | Did n''t we? |
| 7498 | Did she say she would-- did she-- did she? |
| 7498 | Did you suppose I thought he would? |
| 7498 | Die? 7498 Do I?" |
| 7498 | Do forgive me, but need I tell? |
| 7498 | Do n''t like it-- eh? |
| 7498 | Do n''t you say so, father? |
| 7498 | Do n''t you think you ought to hurry back to Brierly? |
| 7498 | Do n''t you want to write a note first? |
| 7498 | Do tell me what''s come over Polly, and why does Mr. King act so queerly? |
| 7498 | Do you all want to have it done to- night? |
| 7498 | Do you know that Grandpapa is going to take us all to- morrow to see Jasper? 7498 Do you mean I am not to go to Miss Carruth?" |
| 7498 | Do you mean it,Pickering put himself in front of Jasper''s advancing strides,"that you will not speak to Polly for me?" |
| 7498 | Do you remember how we used to run behind the wood- pile when we wanted to plan the Tree, Polly,asked Ben,"to get away from Joel and Dave?" |
| 7498 | Do you want some more? |
| 7498 | Dobbs has planned it to--"Dobbs?" |
| 7498 | Does Miss Pepper care for Pickering Dodge? |
| 7498 | Does it make you sorry, Grandpapa dear, to have me want Charlotte to have the money with me? |
| 7498 | Does n''t the fellow know better than to come when we are home for the Christmas holidays? |
| 7498 | Eh-- what? |
| 7498 | Eh? |
| 7498 | Eh? |
| 7498 | Eh? |
| 7498 | Father,said Jasper,"you are not going?" |
| 7498 | For me? |
| 7498 | Forgive you? 7498 Girls, come over this evening, wo n''t you?" |
| 7498 | Glad to see you-- sit down, wo n''t you? |
| 7498 | Go without''em? |
| 7498 | Gone-- and left me here like a dog? |
| 7498 | Gone? |
| 7498 | Good- night, Bingley; sure you do n''t want any help to your room? |
| 7498 | Goodness-- who''s fighting? |
| 7498 | Grandpapa,asked Phronsie suddenly,"how much money did Mrs. Chatterton say I was to have?" |
| 7498 | Grandpapa,asked Phronsie, looking intently at him,"is n''t Charlotte very, very poor?" |
| 7498 | Grandpapa,cried Polly in a tremor,"could you let me talk to you a little just now? |
| 7498 | Grandpapa,said Phronsie,"was n''t Mrs. Chatterton aunt to Charlotte?" |
| 7498 | Has Helen died? |
| 7498 | Has n''t any one seen him? |
| 7498 | Has no one seen him? |
| 7498 | Have n''t I? |
| 7498 | Have n''t you any more sense, Cathie Harrison, than to speak of it? |
| 7498 | He is awfully handsome, is n''t he? |
| 7498 | He''s as handsome as a picture, is n''t he? |
| 7498 | Here, will somebody take this child down where she belongs? |
| 7498 | Hey-- what''s that? |
| 7498 | Hey? 7498 Hey? |
| 7498 | Hold your tongue, will you? |
| 7498 | How are you, old fellow? |
| 7498 | How can I? 7498 How can you ask me, Uncle?" |
| 7498 | How could I see, pray tell? 7498 How could he, Grandpapa? |
| 7498 | How d''ye do? |
| 7498 | How d''ye, Johnson? |
| 7498 | How did he make the balls? |
| 7498 | How did you guess? |
| 7498 | How do I know-- how can I tell? |
| 7498 | How do I know? 7498 How do I know? |
| 7498 | How do you do, Pickering? 7498 How do you do?" |
| 7498 | How do you know that Grandpapa would like to have him along? |
| 7498 | How do you know that Loughead is coming back? |
| 7498 | How do you know? |
| 7498 | How do you know? |
| 7498 | How in all this world can I do anything in the matter? |
| 7498 | How long have I been here? |
| 7498 | How would you like to take a little journey, just you and I, to- morrow? |
| 7498 | How''s that? |
| 7498 | How, Polly? |
| 7498 | Hush-- oh, Van, how can you? 7498 I did n''t say they were engaged,"began Mr. Cabot frantically,"I-- I"--"Did n''t say that Polly and Pickering were engaged?" |
| 7498 | I help you? |
| 7498 | I know that, but what can I do? 7498 I lovely? |
| 7498 | I''ll do it gladly,said Jasper, quite shocked at Jack''s appearance;"anything more, Loughead? |
| 7498 | I''m afraid a cigar would n''t help me much,said Jasper, with a laugh;"but if you must have one, I can get it, eh?" |
| 7498 | I? 7498 If Mr. Whitney says you are not needed, is n''t that enough? |
| 7498 | Impossible? 7498 Indeed,?" |
| 7498 | Is Johnny your only little boy? |
| 7498 | Is Pickering Dodge with you? |
| 7498 | Is he very rich? |
| 7498 | Is it true? |
| 7498 | Is n''t Miss Pepper going to give a Recital pretty soon? |
| 7498 | Is n''t he? |
| 7498 | Is n''t it good that dear Aunty is so much better? |
| 7498 | Is n''t it? |
| 7498 | Is n''t it? |
| 7498 | Is n''t that beautiful? |
| 7498 | Is n''t the sleighing superb? |
| 7498 | Is n''t there anything I could do? |
| 7498 | Is n''t there really anything in here with you, Charlotte? |
| 7498 | Is that all? |
| 7498 | Is that so? 7498 Is that so?" |
| 7498 | Is that so? |
| 7498 | Is that so? |
| 7498 | Is that the way to show your acknowledgment, sir? |
| 7498 | Is that the way you order cigars? |
| 7498 | Is that true? |
| 7498 | Is this Mr. Jotham Higby''s house? |
| 7498 | Is this you, Miss Chatterton? |
| 7498 | It is n''t money I want, Mr. King,and she threw her head back proudly,"but oh, will you come and see father?" |
| 7498 | It is n''t possible, Polly,cried Mr. King, looking down at her,"that you like this fellow-- enough, I mean, to marry him?" |
| 7498 | It isn''t-- Marian? |
| 7498 | It''s dreadfully selfish in me to keep you,said Mrs. Whitney,"when you love your work so; and what will the music scholars do, Polly?" |
| 7498 | Jealous? |
| 7498 | Joel-- Joel, what is it? |
| 7498 | Just look at him now,said Alexia softly,"is n''t he sweet? |
| 7498 | Last night''s performance over Joel? |
| 7498 | Late? 7498 Leave him? |
| 7498 | Leave me alone, ca n''t you? |
| 7498 | Let you what? |
| 7498 | Looks as if he owned the whole town, eh? |
| 7498 | Loves his work? 7498 May I have some of it, if I am black?" |
| 7498 | May I lay them down by him? |
| 7498 | May I see you-- just now? |
| 7498 | May n''t she stay at home-- mayn''t she? |
| 7498 | Me? |
| 7498 | Morse Brothers? |
| 7498 | Mrs. Fisher-- may I speak? |
| 7498 | Must we have it Christmas Day? |
| 7498 | Nice? |
| 7498 | No inroad at all, at least a pleasant one,old Mr. Loughead kept saying, while Polly ran up to Jasper:"Did Pickering''s uncle come with Papa Fisher?" |
| 7498 | No one needs me there; Mrs. Cabot is a host in herself, and those boys may-- who knows? 7498 No one of your party was hurt, I believe?" |
| 7498 | Nor suppers, and a bit of card- playing, eh, Percy? |
| 7498 | Not Jasper? |
| 7498 | Now for breakfast,cried Jasper, his own toilet quickly made,"then I presume you want to see me in my business surroundings, father?" |
| 7498 | Now how do you know that Polly does n''t like my eyeglasses? |
| 7498 | Now then, what''s the matter, pray tell? |
| 7498 | Now what shall we do? |
| 7498 | Now will you go? |
| 7498 | Now you wo n''t feel lonely ever, will you? |
| 7498 | Now, Pet, so you are glad to get your old Grandpapa home, eh? |
| 7498 | O, Ben Pepper, what do you mean? |
| 7498 | O, Ben, ca n''t you go? |
| 7498 | O, Ben, is he sick? |
| 7498 | O, Mr. Cabot-- Mr. Cabot,cried his wife, flying after him,"you do n''t mean to say that Pickering and Polly are betrothed? |
| 7498 | O, dear me, where are you, Ben? |
| 7498 | Oh, Bensie, can you ever forget that? |
| 7498 | Oh, Grandpapa, is n''t your cap pretty? |
| 7498 | Oh, I shall fly crazy to hear them go on,cried Alexia to a little bunch of girls back of the crowd;"will nothing stop them?" |
| 7498 | Oh, Mamsie,cried Polly in dismay,"must Papa Fisher know?" |
| 7498 | Oh, Miss Pepper, what is it? |
| 7498 | Oh, Mr. King, may n''t Polly stay home? 7498 Oh, Mrs. Fisher, where? |
| 7498 | Oh, Percy, what do you mean? |
| 7498 | Oh, Phronsie Pepper, you ca n''t mean that? |
| 7498 | Oh, Phronsie, ca n''t you see-- I never thought of it till now-- but He has given you somebody else instead of Helen, to love and to do things for? |
| 7498 | Oh, Phronsie, what are you going to do? |
| 7498 | Oh, Polly, are you hurt? |
| 7498 | Oh, Polly, how? 7498 Oh, Polly,"when the kiss and two or three others had been dropped on the rosy cheek,"you are sure you can stay with me?" |
| 7498 | Oh, ca n''t you see how much nicer it is in God to make Mrs. Fargo happy for always with Helen, instead of just a little bit of a while down here? |
| 7498 | Oh, darling-- how can I tell you? 7498 Oh, dear me,"groaned Cathie Harrison,"is n''t it perfectly dreadful to have that dear sweet Mrs. Whitney hurt?" |
| 7498 | Oh, dear, why did you come in with such a noise, Joe Pepper? |
| 7498 | Oh, hang it, Uncle, why ca n''t you let me alone? |
| 7498 | Oh, here''s Clem,and, rushing out, Charlotte could hear a whispered consultation with,"Did you ever?" |
| 7498 | Oh, is Dr. Fisher here? |
| 7498 | Oh, is that you, Loughead? |
| 7498 | Oh, now what has he been doing? |
| 7498 | Oh, what can I say? 7498 Oh, what do you mean, Jasper?" |
| 7498 | Oh, what is it? |
| 7498 | Oh, yes-- well, it''s all going on well, the Recital, I mean, is n''t it? |
| 7498 | Oh, you are coming to, are you? |
| 7498 | One thing, King,said Jack gratefully,"will you have an eye to my uncle? |
| 7498 | Out on the road? |
| 7498 | Percy, ca n''t I do something for you? 7498 Percy, may I take those things out and fold them over again?" |
| 7498 | Phronsie is going to take that little rat into her home? |
| 7498 | Phronsie, wait; what is it, dear? |
| 7498 | Phronsie,said Polly, hearing her footsteps joining the others out in the hall,"will you go in and see how Charlotte is getting on with Johnny? |
| 7498 | Phronsie? 7498 Pickering, do you know?" |
| 7498 | Pickering,said Polly, with shining eyes,"who do you think you and Ben saved so bravely? |
| 7498 | Pickering-- where-- where--she could n''t ask"are Phronsie and Ben and Grandpapa?" |
| 7498 | Please ca n''t we have it now? |
| 7498 | Please may I wash my hands? 7498 Please, Grandpapa dear, may she have a little cricket up here? |
| 7498 | Polly, will you marry me? 7498 Polly, you wo n''t leave me, will you, till I get able to sit up?" |
| 7498 | Polly,it said, just as plainly as if Mrs. Fisher had spoken,"is this my girl? |
| 7498 | Polly,said a voice-- it was Jasper''s--"won''t you undo the door? |
| 7498 | Polly-- Polly, did you really like it all? |
| 7498 | Polly? 7498 Polly? |
| 7498 | Polly? |
| 7498 | Polly? |
| 7498 | Really ought? |
| 7498 | Really, Polly? |
| 7498 | Really? |
| 7498 | Right? |
| 7498 | See here,cried old Mr. Loughead suddenly, as Ben was rushing out,"ca n''t I see your sister? |
| 7498 | Sent? 7498 Shall we?" |
| 7498 | Since when? |
| 7498 | So soon, Grandpapa? |
| 7498 | So this really is you, Jack? 7498 So we would-- wouldn''t we, Birdie?" |
| 7498 | So what is it, Joe? 7498 So you are glad to get us home, eh?" |
| 7498 | So you really think my sister will amount to something, Miss Pepper? |
| 7498 | So you''ve heard about me? |
| 7498 | So you''ve looked him up, have you, Jasper? |
| 7498 | So, Dicky, my lad, you do n''t think I did just the right thing for Jasper-- eh? |
| 7498 | Something the matter with Pickering? |
| 7498 | Stop him? 7498 Strong enough?" |
| 7498 | Sure you do n''t want any help? |
| 7498 | Sure? |
| 7498 | Surprised? |
| 7498 | Thank you? 7498 That''s nothing,"she finished, meeting his look,"it''s all fixed as good as can be, and has nothing to do but get well-- has it, Ben?" |
| 7498 | The Sydney, Australia, house? |
| 7498 | Then I''ll do it; and perhaps God wants me to like Heaven better; does he, Polly, do you think? |
| 7498 | There is n''t anything the matter with Polly? |
| 7498 | There now, sir, do you know what a blessed old care you are? |
| 7498 | This evening, do you mean? |
| 7498 | To whom is that? |
| 7498 | To- night? 7498 Trouble?" |
| 7498 | Very glad that Polly has asked that Chatterton girl to sing? |
| 7498 | We pulled an old fellow out of the wreck, at least Ben did the most of it-- Polly wanted us to; and who do you suppose he is? 7498 Well said; that you, Jasper? |
| 7498 | Well, Amy child, how can I help you? |
| 7498 | Well, and so you want a Christmas Tree for him, Phronsie child? |
| 7498 | Well, and when that''s done, why, what can be said upon it, pray tell? 7498 Well, dear me, we are not working much,"cried Alexia, pulling off her gloves;"how many notes have you to write, Joe?" |
| 7498 | Well, do tell us, what did Miss Salisbury say? |
| 7498 | Well, how are you getting on? 7498 Well, how did you track me here, for goodness''sake?" |
| 7498 | Well, how''s Baby? |
| 7498 | Well, is that all? |
| 7498 | Well, my dear, what is it? |
| 7498 | Well, now are you sure I ca n''t do anything for you, Bingley? |
| 7498 | Well, then, will you promise to make Polly Pepper do what she ought to, Miss Salisbury? |
| 7498 | Well, what about Polly? |
| 7498 | Well, what brought you? 7498 Well, what did she say about making Polly listen to reason?" |
| 7498 | Well, what is it, Pet? 7498 Well, what is it, Uncle? |
| 7498 | Well, what is it? |
| 7498 | Well, where is he? |
| 7498 | Well, who does know anything about it, why Mr. Bayley has gone off suddenly? |
| 7498 | What are you going to do, Jack? |
| 7498 | What are you going to do? |
| 7498 | What are you prowling in there for? |
| 7498 | What can we do; is n''t there anything to do? |
| 7498 | What can you do here, pray tell, by staying? 7498 What danger?" |
| 7498 | What did Ben say? |
| 7498 | What did Mamsie say? |
| 7498 | What did she run off for? |
| 7498 | What do you mean, Charlotte? |
| 7498 | What do you mean? |
| 7498 | What do you say? |
| 7498 | What do you say? |
| 7498 | What do you take me for? |
| 7498 | What do you wish to say? |
| 7498 | What for, pray? |
| 7498 | What for? |
| 7498 | What is it about Polly? |
| 7498 | What is it, Dobbs? |
| 7498 | What is it, Joey? |
| 7498 | What is it, Polly? |
| 7498 | What is it, dear? |
| 7498 | What is it, dear? |
| 7498 | What is it, father? |
| 7498 | What is it, my boy? |
| 7498 | What is it,cried Jasper at last, coming close to him,"that has brought you?" |
| 7498 | What is it? 7498 What is it? |
| 7498 | What is it? |
| 7498 | What is it? |
| 7498 | What is the matter with Polly, Jasper? 7498 What is the matter, Jane? |
| 7498 | What is the matter? |
| 7498 | What is there to talk about, I''d like to know? |
| 7498 | What shall I do? |
| 7498 | What would Queen Bess do to you? |
| 7498 | What yarn are you spinning now, Percy? |
| 7498 | What''s come over you, any way? 7498 What''s the doctor wanted for?" |
| 7498 | What''s the matter, Phronsie? |
| 7498 | What''s the matter? |
| 7498 | What''s the matter? |
| 7498 | What''s the matter? |
| 7498 | What''s the matter? |
| 7498 | What''s the reason? |
| 7498 | What''s the riot? |
| 7498 | What, Polly? |
| 7498 | What-- that child? |
| 7498 | What? 7498 Whatever can have been said to you, Phronsie?" |
| 7498 | Whatever in the world is the matter? |
| 7498 | Where are the fellows? |
| 7498 | Where are you going, Polly? |
| 7498 | Where are you going? |
| 7498 | Where have they buried that woman? |
| 7498 | Where is he? |
| 7498 | Where shall we go to- day? |
| 7498 | Where''s Baby? |
| 7498 | Where''s Davina? |
| 7498 | Where''s Jasper? |
| 7498 | Where''s Polly? |
| 7498 | Where''s my girl? |
| 7498 | Which way? |
| 7498 | Who did he say? |
| 7498 | Who do you think is coming to- night? |
| 7498 | Who has been telling you things? |
| 7498 | Who is it, Phronsie? 7498 Who is it?" |
| 7498 | Who is this young Loughead? |
| 7498 | Who shall I tell him wants to see him? |
| 7498 | Who the Dickens is that cad? |
| 7498 | Who''s Tree? |
| 7498 | Who, Pickering? |
| 7498 | Who? |
| 7498 | Who? |
| 7498 | Whom are you talking of, Mason? |
| 7498 | Whom do you mean? |
| 7498 | Why I-- I-- of course you must know;''pon me word, you must, Miss Mary, for it began five years ago, before you went abroad, do n''t you know? |
| 7498 | Why could n''t Polly see you? |
| 7498 | Why did God take away Helen? |
| 7498 | Why did Jencks put you in here? |
| 7498 | Why did n''t Miss Pepper come this evening? |
| 7498 | Why not go to Madam Dyce''s and ask her to loan us some of her old brocades and bonnets? |
| 7498 | Why not, you ridiculous boy? |
| 7498 | Why was any person put in my room? |
| 7498 | Why, Alexia, where are your eyes? |
| 7498 | Why, Jack,cried Amy, no little offended,"what''s the matter? |
| 7498 | Why, Jasper? |
| 7498 | Why, Percy Whitney, why not, pray tell? |
| 7498 | Why, Polly Pepper, what do you mean? |
| 7498 | Why, Polly Pepper, what do you mean? |
| 7498 | Why, did you see him? |
| 7498 | Why, did you think we''d forget you, Phronsie? |
| 7498 | Why, do n''t you know? 7498 Why, does n''t Charlotte Chatterton sing well?" |
| 7498 | Why, he goes back to William the Conqueror, does n''t he? 7498 Why, how can I help you to tell me, child,"cried old Mr. King in astonishment,"when I do n''t know in the least what it is you want to say?" |
| 7498 | Why, is n''t the money my very own, Grandpapa? |
| 7498 | Why, of course I''ll go-- delighted to be of use-- who for? |
| 7498 | Why, was n''t he dead when we brought him out? |
| 7498 | Why, what makes you ask such a question? 7498 Why, where am I?" |
| 7498 | Why, where are you, Alexia? |
| 7498 | Why, where--"Oh, she''s gone home,"answered Alexia, stepping forward hastily--"Hasn''t she, girls?" |
| 7498 | Will I make Polly Pepper do as she ought to? |
| 7498 | Will I what? |
| 7498 | Will you, Phronsie? |
| 7498 | Will you, Polly? |
| 7498 | Will you? |
| 7498 | Wo n''t Jasper be surprised? |
| 7498 | Wo n''t Mr. Cabot let you go? |
| 7498 | Would it? |
| 7498 | Would n''t it make her very glad if I gave Charlotte some of the money? |
| 7498 | Yes, sir? |
| 7498 | Yes,said Mrs. Higby;"what do you want? |
| 7498 | Yes; well, you''re sure you''re all right except this? |
| 7498 | You are sure you wo n''t bother yourself too much with Charlotte? |
| 7498 | You are sure you wo n''t make your head ache thinking about it, Grandpapa? |
| 7498 | You do look so funny,burst out Alexia with a laugh;"does n''t he, girls?" |
| 7498 | You do n''t mean to say you think Polly would feel bound by what she said when we all thought he was dying? |
| 7498 | You have n''t had another fuss with Pickering? 7498 You here?" |
| 7498 | You mean, you are in love with Polly Pepper? |
| 7498 | You should think mischief enough had been done by Charlotte? |
| 7498 | You went to Joe Pepper''s room for the purpose of lamming him? |
| 7498 | You wo n''t? |
| 7498 | --"is the matter?" |
| 7498 | A rap at the door, and Jane put in her head, in response to Mrs. Fisher''s"What is it?" |
| 7498 | And as soon as Pickering Dodge is able to be moved home, why, the rest of us will finish our trip, and give you that surprise party-- eh, Jasper?" |
| 7498 | And is n''t it lovely that he is to have such a beautiful home?" |
| 7498 | And now what can Charlotte have heard to make her want to go home?" |
| 7498 | And then, most of the little knots heard the commotion, and came hurrying up with"What is it?" |
| 7498 | And this time she waited for Charlotte to speak, at last exclaiming,"Do n''t you see it must be so?" |
| 7498 | Anything more?" |
| 7498 | Are you sick?" |
| 7498 | As the last note died away,"Who is that girl?" |
| 7498 | At the sound of his voice, somebody called over the stairs,"O, Ben, are you home? |
| 7498 | Bayley?" |
| 7498 | But how was I to know of that beastly wreck?" |
| 7498 | But,"he broke off abruptly,"got a cigar, Jasper?" |
| 7498 | Ca n''t see me? |
| 7498 | Cabot?" |
| 7498 | Cabot?" |
| 7498 | Call Mrs. Higby, will you? |
| 7498 | Can I help in any way?" |
| 7498 | Can you tell me if I shall wrong Pickering Dodge if I speak to her?" |
| 7498 | Cathie Harrison, why do n''t you say something, instead of staring that wall out of countenance?" |
| 7498 | Charlotte is a big girl; how can I help her?" |
| 7498 | Could you?" |
| 7498 | Dave, ca n''t you keep him from that?" |
| 7498 | David flung wide the door,"where are you?" |
| 7498 | Dear, dear, am I never to be any good to Polly?" |
| 7498 | Did you not say that another attempt was to be made on my grandson?" |
| 7498 | Do n''t you see, Charlotte, that I ought not to promise?" |
| 7498 | Do n''t you see, child, that I really ought to be told?" |
| 7498 | Do n''t you suppose so, Grandpapa?" |
| 7498 | Do n''t you think it must, Miss Chatterton?" |
| 7498 | Do n''t you understand?" |
| 7498 | Do n''t, Polly, how can you?" |
| 7498 | Do tell us where Polly is?" |
| 7498 | Do you gamble?" |
| 7498 | Do you hear, young people,"raising his voice,"or does that little scamp of a baby take all your ears?" |
| 7498 | Do you want a Christmas Tree?" |
| 7498 | Fargo?" |
| 7498 | Fisher?" |
| 7498 | Fisher?" |
| 7498 | Girls,_ did_ you see Jack Loughead down at the door?" |
| 7498 | Grandpapa, it''s just"--"Well, what, my dear?" |
| 7498 | Has n''t she, girls?" |
| 7498 | Higby?" |
| 7498 | How can I think of anything when you are in trouble?" |
| 7498 | How could I speak so, and to you, who know so much more of duty than I ever could imagine? |
| 7498 | How could you help things when you were not here? |
| 7498 | How do you know she does n''t like them?" |
| 7498 | How in the world can I go at him?" |
| 7498 | How in the world could she know of Jasper''s affairs, pray tell?" |
| 7498 | How is the arm?" |
| 7498 | I believe you wish to go as soon as you can, do you not,"to Jasper,"that is, after you have given me the report of the business you did on the trip?" |
| 7498 | Illustration:"WELL, AMY, CHILD, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?"] |
| 7498 | Is n''t he nice?" |
| 7498 | Is n''t it sent here?" |
| 7498 | Is that all that detains you?" |
| 7498 | It takes you and me to get up celebrations, does n''t it?" |
| 7498 | It was Phronsie; and she cried in a grieved little voice,"Polly, are you here? |
| 7498 | It will kill his mother-- oh, how could he?" |
| 7498 | It would any girl; ca n''t you see it, Pick?" |
| 7498 | Jasper was saved from answering by old Mr. King coming in with a"Oh, how d''ye, Loughead? |
| 7498 | Jasper?" |
| 7498 | King?" |
| 7498 | LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS"Well, Amy child, how can I help you?" |
| 7498 | Loughead, that you?" |
| 7498 | Loughead?" |
| 7498 | Marlowe?" |
| 7498 | Marlowe?" |
| 7498 | May he, Mamsie?" |
| 7498 | Might n''t it be just as if he had n''t spoken, Mamsie?" |
| 7498 | Move on, will you? |
| 7498 | Mrs. Fisher, may I sit down by you here?" |
| 7498 | Must they die like animals in a trap? |
| 7498 | Need I?" |
| 7498 | Now for the first thing; what do you say we should do, Charlotte?" |
| 7498 | Now have any of you remarks to make?" |
| 7498 | Now may I see your arm?" |
| 7498 | Now then, what is it?" |
| 7498 | Now what shall we do in the way of a simple, appropriate fandango-- a perfect idyl of a thing, you know?" |
| 7498 | Now what''s the matter?" |
| 7498 | Now, oh, what can I do?" |
| 7498 | Now, then, Charlotte, how do you say begin?" |
| 7498 | Oh, dear me, what shall I say?" |
| 7498 | Oh, she left you everything she had, Phronsie; a couple of millions or so it is; why?" |
| 7498 | On the other side of it, looking at them, his hands out of his pockets, he stood, saying,"What do you want?" |
| 7498 | Polly kept saying to herself,"Oh, dear, dear, what could I have said to make him think I would go with him?" |
| 7498 | Polly, are you losing your senses?" |
| 7498 | Polly, child, what do you mean?" |
| 7498 | Right? |
| 7498 | Seeing that something was expected of him, Jasper made out to say,"You do?" |
| 7498 | So wo n''t you give him to me, dear? |
| 7498 | So you thought you''d come on and see for yourself, eh?" |
| 7498 | The loss must be charged back to Withers& Co.""Is that so?" |
| 7498 | There''s nothing wrong?" |
| 7498 | There, Papa Fisher, are they all gone?" |
| 7498 | There, Pet, now you are all right, are n''t you?" |
| 7498 | There, now, will you be still?" |
| 7498 | Well, David, my man, are you back so soon?" |
| 7498 | Well, Mr. Loughead, and what would you like to do for these poor children of Phronsie''s Christmas Day? |
| 7498 | Well, was ever anything so fine in all this world?" |
| 7498 | Well, were any of the others hurt?" |
| 7498 | Well, will you go?" |
| 7498 | What did you do next, Polly?" |
| 7498 | What do you suppose, Miss Salisbury, she''s gone and-- oh dear, I did n''t mean to-- but what do you suppose Polly has just done?" |
| 7498 | What have you been doing lately? |
| 7498 | What have you got into your head, Phronsie?" |
| 7498 | What is going to happen?" |
| 7498 | What is it?" |
| 7498 | What is there to prevent, pray tell?" |
| 7498 | What shall I do?" |
| 7498 | What was father thinking of?" |
| 7498 | What was it, Miss Polly?" |
| 7498 | What will you do?" |
| 7498 | What would Polly say to see you going for me like this, I''d like to know?" |
| 7498 | What would she say now? |
| 7498 | What''s the matter, Phronsie?" |
| 7498 | When did we ever get up a poor Tree, pray tell?" |
| 7498 | When it was over, and Polly sat quite still,"What are you going to do with that horrible boy?" |
| 7498 | Where did you pick him up?" |
| 7498 | Where in time is that thing? |
| 7498 | Where should I have been if Polly Pepper had n''t taken me up?" |
| 7498 | Who is the fellow, any way?" |
| 7498 | Who wants him?" |
| 7498 | Who''s talking of Phronsie?" |
| 7498 | Why are n''t you up at the house?" |
| 7498 | Why did n''t you go over more ground?" |
| 7498 | Why did n''t you have whole ones?" |
| 7498 | Why do n''t you have it out now? |
| 7498 | Why in the world do n''t you think how everybody is loving you and wanting to make you happy?" |
| 7498 | Why should n''t he, pray tell-- when we were all going home in a day or two? |
| 7498 | Why would the girls who now seemed to be so glad to have her in the center of all their plans, persist in calling her Miss Chatterton? |
| 7498 | Why, Charlotte, what has gotten into you?" |
| 7498 | Why, what would the Dunraven children do, Phronsie, if you took that day away from them?" |
| 7498 | Why, where is Phronsie?" |
| 7498 | Will you be so kind as to arrange it?" |
| 7498 | Will you go down the lane, Miss Pepper, while I can tell you?" |
| 7498 | Will you go?" |
| 7498 | Will you run to the doctor''s and fetch him? |
| 7498 | Will you, Miss Rhys?" |
| 7498 | Will you?" |
| 7498 | Would no one come to help them? |
| 7498 | Would they really all be together in a week? |
| 7498 | You are all right?" |
| 7498 | You are sure it wo n''t hurt you?" |
| 7498 | You have n''t come to tell of anything else bad, have you?" |
| 7498 | You must be Grandfather King?" |
| 7498 | [ Illustration:"ARE YOU SICK, POLLY?" |
| 7498 | [ Illustration:"And did we,"cried Phronsie"find it out, Polly, and spoil it all?"] |
| 7498 | [ Illustration:"OH, POLLY, ARE YOU HURT?"] |
| 7498 | [ Illustration:"OH, WHY DID I SPEAK?" |
| 7498 | [ Illustration:"WHAT DO YOU SAY?" |
| 7498 | [ Illustration:"WHY DO YOU PUT YOUR APRON UP THERE?" |

| 7498 | and"Oh dear, what''s the matter?" |
| 7498 | are you sure you are right?" |
| 7498 | asked Jasper, still marching up and down the floor;"was n''t she home?" |
| 7498 | asked Livingston Bayley, sauntering up, and whirling his walking- stick,"eh?" |
| 7498 | began Dick wrathfully"Oh, why did I speak?" |
| 7498 | begged Phronsie, all sorts of dreadful surmises seizing her,"do tell me, Polly, wo n''t you?" |
| 7498 | could n''t they go fishing any other day?" |
| 7498 | cried Alexia, thoroughly annoyed,"are n''t you ashamed of yourself? |
| 7498 | cried Mr. King, more and more horrified,"is this what you all come to college for? |
| 7498 | cried Percy,"what''s that?" |
| 7498 | cried Phronsie, in intense excitement, emerging from the depths of the Tree, the better to look at Polly,"did we, Polly, and spoil it all?" |
| 7498 | cried Polly over and over"Are you sick, Polly?" |
| 7498 | cried Polly under her breath, still kneeling on the floor,"oh, boys, can you?" |
| 7498 | cried Polly"Oh, Polly, are you hurt?" |
| 7498 | cried Polly, her brown eyes flashing,"that you are not to tell? |
| 7498 | exclaimed Jasper, unable longer to keep silent,"how could I take charge of any department, until I had learned it all myself?" |
| 7498 | exclaimed Mrs. Cabot in consternation,"what shall I do? |
| 7498 | exclaimed the young girl, with a pang at her heart,"has he left your business?" |
| 7498 | exploded Ben,"what do you mean, Phronsie?" |
| 7498 | have I had the doctor?" |
| 7498 | he cried, flirting his fists in the air,"or will you leave my room?" |
| 7498 | how can you say so?" |
| 7498 | how could I have said that-- how could I? |
| 7498 | how mean,"interrupted Polly at this point, with flashing brown eyes;"how could he?" |
| 7498 | how will you bear trouble when it comes, old chap?" |
| 7498 | interrupted the old gentleman sharply,"what family? |
| 7498 | is she?" |
| 7498 | is this the place?" |
| 7498 | oh, girls, did you hear?" |
| 7498 | oh, not Polly?" |
| 7498 | roared Joel, aghast at what he had done, yet swinging his arms with deadly intent on either side,"or, do you want some more?" |
| 7498 | said Pickering quite jauntily, and extending the tips of his fingers;"just got here, I take it, Loughead?" |
| 7498 | said his father,"well, what is he doing here this morning, pray tell?" |
| 7498 | screamed Phronsie, clapping grimy little hands and darting off,"have they come?" |
| 7498 | she cried,"do you think it can be right to take Jasper away from his work?" |
| 7498 | turning off to the little knots of his party scattered over the platform,"where are you all?" |
| 7498 | we would n''t ever think of not carrying a Christmas to Dunraven, would we, Pet?" |
| 7498 | what do you mean?" |
| 7498 | what do you suppose, Miss Salisbury, she has gone and done?" |
| 7498 | what have I said? |
| 7498 | what shall I do? |
| 7498 | what shall I do?" |
| 7498 | what shall we do, girls?" |
| 7498 | what will you do, Jasper?" |
| 7498 | what''s the matter with Miss Polly?" |
| 7498 | what''s the matter?" |
| 7498 | who has told you such nonsense?" |
| 7498 | why did I speak-- why did I?" |
| 7498 | why did I speak?" |
| 7498 | why do n''t some of you say something?" |
| 7498 | you here, Bingley?" |
| 7498 | you wo n''t keep him waiting to know that, will you?" |
