7295 | Will this sun of freedom, now peepin''troo de black cloud, come cl''ar out, an''make a bright day? |
7295 | Will you direct me to a lawyer who will aid me? |
7295 | Will you see if that fellow has gone out? |
7295 | Will you telegraph me if you do not succeed in getting the passes in Chicago? |
7295 | Wo n''t you stand by me? |
7295 | Would such an arrangement be any satisfaction to you? |
7295 | Yes, but how came you here again? |
7295 | Yes, that is the doctor we''ve been sewing for, is it? |
7295 | You are not Wesleyan Methodists, are you? |
7295 | You have plenty of vermin to deal with, I suppose? |
7295 | ''Here''s a roll of linsey for our cloze, shall we take it?'' |
7295 | ''If they fine that trunk o''money or silver plate you''ll say it''s your''n, wo n''t you?'' |
7295 | ''Jule, you wo n''t go, will you?'' |
7295 | ''Now you see you''ve got to die or stop prayin''; will you stop this d----d prayin''?'' |
7295 | ''Now, Jule, you''ll say it''s yourn, wo n''t you?'' |
7295 | ''Now, auntie, you all ready,''they say? |
7295 | ''Tom, see here, what a lot of goodies we got; wo n''t we live well?'' |
7295 | ''What ails you, Phil? |
7295 | ''What''s de matter o''me? |
7295 | ''Why not? |
7295 | ''Yes, sir,''I said, an''they look to Jule an''say,''You want to go?'' |
7295 | ''You shall go the other side of that line, never to return?''". |
7295 | ( and without waiting for a reply),"Is your wife with you?" |
7295 | A stay at the infirmary for two months and a half was a_ burden_, but was it"intolerable to the tax- payers"of our county? |
7295 | A tall gentleman now entered the room and addressed me:"Madam, are you the lady who wished to see me?" |
7295 | A woman came one evening with the following queries:"Missus, whar all dese clo''es come from? |
7295 | About two hours before he died he looked at his mother, smiling, and said,"There''s Mary; do n''t you see her, standing at the foot of my bed?" |
7295 | After looking them over, he asked:"What can I do for you?" |
7295 | After she had washed and combed her hair she asked,"How does my hair look? |
7295 | After studying for words I said,"What is the matter?" |
7295 | Again she came to me with"What shall I do?" |
7295 | Am I in some large city, or in a country place? |
7295 | Among the slave- irons you found, were there any of those new- fashioned gags?" |
7295 | An old pious colored woman said to one who was losing all his family, and called upon her to assist them:"Now, who is plotting insurrection? |
7295 | An''I hurried de supper on de table; an''I say, Missus, can Dilla wait on table till I go to de bush- spring an''git a bucket o''cool water?'' |
7295 | An''I tole''em,''Wa''n''t I''count good many years ago?'' |
7295 | And did n''t wake up, ha? |
7295 | And did you see Surgeon Powers?" |
7295 | And do my eyes look as if I''d been crying?" |
7295 | And how did you find things there?" |
7295 | And looking at the one standing near,"And what is his name?" |
7295 | And what are you doing here?" |
7295 | And where''s the pink aprons and green striped dresses? |
7295 | Another thing I''d like to know, why is this difference in the soup? |
7295 | Another thing I''d like to know-- are these not our citizens?" |
7295 | Are all these Union soldiers?" |
7295 | Are they not as intelligent as were the children of Israel when they left Egypt? |
7295 | Are you aware of the responsibility you assume in this?" |
7295 | As I entered his room he threw up both hands, saying,"God will have mercy on poor me, wo n''t he?" |
7295 | As I was passing out of the door his partner, Michael Walsh, came to me( in a gruff, commanding tone),''What is that you say, Lacy?'' |
7295 | As he handed it to me he said,"I suppose you will recognize his handwriting, so you''ll know it''s from him?" |
7295 | As the thought struck me that he had been a slave, I cried out,"My son Harvey, art thou free?" |
7295 | As this boisterous company appeared before us, Hughes turned to the two men behind us, and said,"Are your pistols ready?" |
7295 | At length one ventured,"Will you please excuse me, madam, if I ask you where you are taking all this company?" |
7295 | At the close of the meeting, said one of the elders to another,"Did thou ever hear just such a sermon from a Friend? |
7295 | At these few words she became calm, and said, as she looked up,"Can you tell me where my daughter is?" |
7295 | At this the astonished doctor said:"I reckon this is not Mrs. Haviland, is it?" |
7295 | But as her mistress repeated the calls, she at length came to me with the child, asking,"What shall I do? |
7295 | But the Judas who betrayed Jack ought to be brought to justice; but how could they do it? |
7295 | But where, O, where are the other two?" |
7295 | But while waiting for the glass of water, said Caleb McComber,"Child, how old art thou?" |
7295 | But why do I not find this rest for this weary heart? |
7295 | But why not always be my place, if it is my duty now? |
7295 | By de time we got to de las''line of third verse de people was cryin''for mercy an''down on dair knees crying,''Lo''d, what shall I do to be saved? |
7295 | Ca n''t you go to Malden an''see all my family? |
7295 | Can God forgive sich an ole sinner as me? |
7295 | Can I fin''Jesus so quick as poor Mary Jane did afore she died? |
7295 | Can death, that is called the last enemy, look pleasant? |
7295 | Can not you see to their release?" |
7295 | Can you not donate these expenses to this good cause? |
7295 | Can you not trust such a Redeemer?--such a loving Father as is our God, who saves to the uttermost all who ask with believing hearts?" |
7295 | Can you tell us what to do? |
7295 | Champlin was there at the hour, with the stern query,"Are you ready, sir, to give me your authority, or abide the consequences?" |
7295 | Den, if you dies, whar''d we go to? |
7295 | Did General Tuttle see those papers you gave me?" |
7295 | Did I not take this an hour ago? |
7295 | Did I take this yesterday? |
7295 | Did n''t you think you ought to have it?" |
7295 | Did you not secure a pass to Chicago and return, three years ago, of Mr. Campbell, at Adrian?" |
7295 | Did you see Surgeon Powers?" |
7295 | Do n''t you hear it?" |
7295 | Do n''t you hear that sweetest of all music?" |
7295 | Do n''t you see them? |
7295 | Do n''t you think so?" |
7295 | Do we prize this precious privilege as we ought? |
7295 | Do you believe he can?" |
7295 | Do you know how quick these black people read faces?" |
7295 | Do you think I can teach a small school?" |
7295 | Does gov''ment send''em to us?" |
7295 | Give up? |
7295 | Had I better wait till it''s three o''clock? |
7295 | Have n''t you written an article for a paper some time?" |
7295 | Have you ever experienced religion?" |
7295 | He also asked for a glass of water, and while receiving it, says to Elsie:"Auntie, where does this road lead to, that crosses the river east?" |
7295 | He died in the Union army; but what does all this terrible sacrifice amount to? |
7295 | Her first query was,"How is our dear mother?" |
7295 | Here come in four sojers with swords hangin''to their sides, an''never looked at mistess, but said to me,''Auntie, you want to go with us?'' |
7295 | How do you find them?" |
7295 | How long would it be before it could he reopened, should we replace it in the hands of its friend?" |
7295 | How many surgeons have you?" |
7295 | How many will it accommodate?" |
7295 | I am advanced in years; and what have I done in all my life? |
7295 | I asked them why they did not themselves remain in their old homes? |
7295 | I asked;"and where are the balance?" |
7295 | I believe clothing will come; but who will send money to buy bread? |
7295 | I could get that to- day for him, and he''s only eight months old; is n''t be bright?" |
7295 | I heard it again repeated,"What shall we do? |
7295 | I heard you say you are going to Cincinnati; do you know any thing of that lady?" |
7295 | I hesitated, for the next query would be,"What paper? |
7295 | I immediately addressed him:"My son, are you prepared to go hence?" |
7295 | I inquired if there were two ladies here who had sent for me? |
7295 | I returned to Kansas City, and found their hands and hearts full also, and heard the query repeated,"What are we to do for these poor people? |
7295 | I said,"Were you ever a Christian?" |
7295 | I said,''Mistess, would n''t you grieve over your childern, if somebody take''em from you?'' |
7295 | I say is dis me? |
7295 | I say,''What shall I do?'' |
7295 | I thought, must I learn to read again? |
7295 | I told him I designed returning to Cincinnati on the same boat I came on, and it was going out at 4 P. M."Why go so soon?" |
7295 | I took up another iron, and inquired,"What sort of an iron is this?" |
7295 | I turned to brother Diossy, and said,"You can leave your position, and get another to occupy your place here?" |
7295 | I turned to him with,"Ca n''t you do something for their release?" |
7295 | I want from you a direct reply; did I do_ right_, or wrong, in that case? |
7295 | I was met in the door of the sanitary rooms with"Did you succeed in getting a half- fare pass?" |
7295 | I went across the cabin to her relief the third time and inquired,"What is the trouble now?" |
7295 | I went among them, and said to the man I met first:"You concluded to use your freedom in coming into the Union camps?" |
7295 | If the troops shall be withdrawn, what shall we do?" |
7295 | In a moment or two Mrs. Bayliss entered the room, and the deacon said:"Wife, what kind of a text do you think Aunt Lucy has just given me?" |
7295 | In a very surly manner he inquired:"Have you a son here?" |
7295 | In passing through the yard I met their slave man, who said, in a low tone,"Did you see Fairbanks?" |
7295 | In surprise, I inquired:"Did that community allow that to be done in their midst without making an effort to rescue the self- made freeman?" |
7295 | In the front yard the wife came running to him crying out,"O Ben Dodson, is dis you? |
7295 | Is it a wonder the freedmen flee by hundreds and thousands? |
7295 | Is it death- is it death?" |
7295 | Is it not William Anderson, a runaway from Missouri?" |
7295 | Is it possible that He who created this beautiful world can notice a little girl like me? |
7295 | Is it possible that I can go with confidence to that Father who has so long borne with this unbelieving, doubting, rebellious child? |
7295 | Is n''t this home- like? |
7295 | Is there no balm in Gilead? |
7295 | Is there no guarantee for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? |
7295 | Is this the Isaac, I dwelt upon as I was leaving my home, that I may be called to sacrifice? |
7295 | Just then the conductor appeared and cried out:"What are you doing here, you villainous scoundrels? |
7295 | Men and women tantalized them as they were marching through the streets, saying:"That''s the way the Yankees treat you, is it? |
7295 | Mill, why do n''t you go? |
7295 | Mother, ca n''t you see her?" |
7295 | Mrs. Springer, up to boiling rage again,"Hear that; what devils they are; do n''t you believe Aunt Winnie will die? |
7295 | Near the door I was met by Mary, who said but little above a whisper,"Did you see him?" |
7295 | No one can look over these testimonies without exclaiming, with David,"Is there not a cause"for the flight of this persecuted people? |
7295 | Not a word was spoken until we were entirely away from the congregation, and I said,"Mary, have n''t we gone far enough?" |
7295 | Now as you learn of this dark deed, you have no idea of acknowledging that man as a Christian brother, have you?" |
7295 | Now what do you say in regard to this supposed case?" |
7295 | Now, Mill, you wo n''t go with them, will you?'' |
7295 | Now, do n''t you think you can induce Hamilton to bring his family here? |
7295 | Now, if the Yankees do stop, you all run and hide, wo n''t you?'' |
7295 | O what shall the harvest be?" |
7295 | On entering the house the officer placed hand- cuffs on David Gordon, who in surprise asked,"What does this mean?" |
7295 | On giving a description of the ignorance and filth, of the poor whites I called on, Colonel Blair inquired"What would you do with them?" |
7295 | On informing him he inquired,"Have you friends there?" |
7295 | On listening to my explanation,"An''do n''t gov''ment pay you for bringin''''em to us?" |
7295 | On reading them he asked, rather sharply,"What do you want?" |
7295 | One little boy of eleven years said:"Mrs. Smith, do n''t you think God sent all this''cause we prayed so hard the other night?" |
7295 | Perhaps you are acquainted with her husband; why do n''t he come? |
7295 | Placing my hand upon her shoulder I inquired if she had heard bad news that was grieving her? |
7295 | Pointing to another still more glorious in appearance,"And who is that one?" |
7295 | Said I,"Are these the marks of the slave whip?" |
7295 | Said I,"You would n''t kill the women, would you?" |
7295 | Said another, in a low tone,"When did she cross?" |
7295 | Said one woman, whose husband and two sons were soldiers in this battle:"Why did n''t you shoot away as long as one was lef''?" |
7295 | Said one, to whom the largest amount was due,"You do not think of taking your husband''s business and carrying it forward, do you?" |
7295 | Said one,"They say we are free, and what sort of freedom is this, for us to see our families without a board, shingle, or canvas to cover their heads? |
7295 | Said the doctor,"What did the general say?" |
7295 | Settling himself back in his easy arm chair, he said again,"How long a time do you want it for?" |
7295 | Shall I ever know any thing? |
7295 | She had trusted in her Lord and Savior in all these years of toiling, and now must she see that daughter sold down the river? |
7295 | She said her husband came in great excitement and asked her if she wanted to run away to the Yankees? |
7295 | She stepped back to call him, when in an undertone I heard,"Who is it?" |
7295 | Smith?" |
7295 | Soon came the girl, all out of breath:"Did the hounds come to you?" |
7295 | The captain came to me a few days after and inquired if I found it in the way of my duty to relieve the wants of those two ladies? |
7295 | The first query of the medical director, after reading my papers, was"Have you visited the Jackson Hospital? |
7295 | The first words spoken to me after entering the hospital were:"Do you want to go into the kitchen?" |
7295 | The old man was quite blind, but he felt of it; then he exclaimed:"Missus, did you say little white gals made this? |
7295 | The papered wall, maps, pictures, and furniture all looked familiar; but where am I? |
7295 | The postmaster said,"Is this your business here?" |
7295 | The preacher asked her,"What have you got to say''bout Jesus, sis?" |
7295 | The question came up, What shall be done for the twenty children for whom no homes are provided? |
7295 | The reply he received was,"Do n''t you know you are niggers, and must not expect the same treatment?" |
7295 | The thought struck me, What will these officers think, to see a little old woman talking to them like this? |
7295 | The words of the dying Christian, beginning"What''s that steals, that steals upon my frame? |
7295 | Then brother Patchin inquired if perfect peace was his at this hour? |
7295 | Then, after a pause,"She is n''t married again, is she?" |
7295 | They had a hearty laugh when I asked if the"smoke- house key was frowed in de well?" |
7295 | They met me at the door of their office, and asked:"What is the news?" |
7295 | This was but little relief to me; but what could I do further? |
7295 | Too weak and trembling to stand, I was again queried whether I would not now preach the Democratic doctrine and vote that ticket? |
7295 | Turning to July, he said,''Will you stop prayin''or die?'' |
7295 | Two men on the opposite side of Licking River hallooed,"Where are you going?" |
7295 | Was Isaac Puffer a child of hell? |
7295 | Was that the work of an abolitionist?" |
7295 | We arrived at Toledo at 7 P. M., and as we left the cars James was, addressed by a man with the question:"Is your name Willis Hamilton?" |
7295 | We repeat, Who can wonder at their flight? |
7295 | Were you ever in Gloucester County?" |
7295 | What a state of society is this for a free country? |
7295 | What amount is wanting?" |
7295 | What can we do, we asked ourselves, for these poor men, some of whom are sick and dying with scurvy? |
7295 | What day of the week is to- day? |
7295 | What do you mean?" |
7295 | What do you think of Surgeon Powers?" |
7295 | What paper have you written for? |
7295 | What right has a copperhead to be lifted up here, where loyal men are needed? |
7295 | What shall we send them? |
7295 | What sort of a lady is she?" |
7295 | What''s the matter?'' |
7295 | When General Sherman came to him, he stopped to look at the bars on his shoulders, and gruffly asked,"Are you a captain?" |
7295 | When I gets into missus''door, I sort o''felt somethin''wrong, an''axt her,''Whar''s Mary? |
7295 | When woman''s heart is bleeding, Shall woman''s voice be hushed?" |
7295 | Where shall we go?" |
7295 | Who pronounced these sentences?" |
7295 | Who you gwine to take to jail now? |
7295 | Who you gwine to whip an''hang now? |
7295 | Why all this painstaking to get away from their masters, if they are so attached to them?" |
7295 | Why did not the writer relieve me by giving the information I most needed? |
7295 | Why do I not find the way to seek for the hidden treasure I so much longed for? |
7295 | Why do n''t you report Judge Attocha?" |
7295 | Why do you allow such a man to occupy the responsible position of surgeon in charge of hundreds of the sick and wounded soldiers?" |
7295 | Why has he not cut off this cumberer of the ground long ago? |
7295 | Why, yes, I thought, they are my daughters; but what are their names? |
7295 | Will that man come? |
7295 | Will you do it?" |
7295 | Will you give them to me?" |
7295 | Will you meet me there?" |
7295 | Willis, in his sudden fright and excitement, could only exclaim:"What shall we do? |
7295 | With a few other satisfactory answers he passed to the next, a man of forty, perhaps:"And what have you to tell us?" |
7295 | With an oath he turned again to me,''Now, have you got enough to stop your praying or will the devil die?'' |
7295 | With the undying interests of the youth so near my heart, it was a trial to have our school suspended a year; but what could I do? |
7295 | Would n''t you like to go to such a beautiful city as that when you die?'' |
7295 | Would you do it?" |
7295 | Would you like to see him?" |
7295 | Would you like to telegraph to the lady assistant?" |
7295 | Would you object to my taking this to the chief of police, if I bring it back within, an hour or two? |
7295 | You see dat white house over de river dar? |
7295 | You understan'', do you?'' |
7295 | You wo n''t take your children away from me, will you, Mill?'' |
7295 | and the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
7295 | and what is my name? |
7295 | and why do n''t the water spill out off Bates''s creek and our well?" |
7295 | are you sick?" |
7295 | do n''t you hear that beautiful music? |
7295 | he exclaimed,"what shall I do? |
7295 | is dis possible? |
7295 | is there no physician there to heal this sin- stricken world, this sin- sick soul of mine? |
7295 | must I see my poor chile''go after all my hope to save her?" |
7295 | that little log house where there was a pile of pumpkins in the yard?" |
7295 | to engage in a contest with you? |
7295 | what did you do?" |
7295 | where has he gone?" |
6058 | ''Marse Hooper,''sez I,''is dat de law?'' 6058 ''Wall, ef I does, I leaves''em ter home fer fear ob wearin''''em out, do n''t I?" |
6058 | A lady? 6058 About yourself?" |
6058 | Accept, man? 6058 Ah, d''ye hear that, b''ys? |
6058 | Ah, you seem to be quite an admirer of her? |
6058 | Am I at liberty to inform him of the nature of the testament which you have made? |
6058 | Am I not with you? |
6058 | An''I sez,''Marse Si War'', sah?'' 6058 An''Peyton Winburn swars ter dat?" |

6058 | An''he sez,''What for do n''t yer like him, den?'' 6058 An''he sez,''Whip much?'' |
6058 | An''he sez,''Why?'' 6058 An''he sez,''Work hard?'' |
6058 | An''how''s de law ter know which is de lawful chillen ef hit ai n''t on dat ar paper? |
6058 | An''you knew my father before me? |
6058 | And Buzzard''s Bay? |
6058 | And Hesden? |
6058 | And are you not? |
6058 | And do n''t know his name? |
6058 | And has any one else offered to turn men off for comin''here? |
6058 | And has every Richards and Le Moyne on the planet a right to challenge my opinions? |
6058 | And that was in 1794? |
6058 | And then-- if-- if there was-- anything wrong? |
6058 | And was Noah and his family well when you bid''em good- by? |
6058 | And would you believe my word if I assured you that this was the fact? |
6058 | And you a white man? |
6058 | And you came across the Sound alone in an open boat? |
6058 | And you do not desire the election held here? |
6058 | And you think such a system might be applied to a Government appropriation? |
6058 | And you would give up your home? |
6058 | Any answer, ma''arn? |
6058 | Anybody hurt? |
6058 | Anybody with you? |
6058 | Anybody you can send for him? |
6058 | Anything the matter, Maggie? |
6058 | Are you in pain, dear? |
6058 | Are you willing to try? |
6058 | Be you the clerk, sail? |
6058 | Blame you? 6058 Born where?" |
6058 | Bre''er Nimbus,said Eliab solemnly,"you gib me your word you git all dis money honestly?" |
6058 | Brekfas'', Miss Mollie? |
6058 | Business wid me? |
6058 | But I heard der was a law---"Have you been living together as man and wife? |
6058 | But did n''t yer leave the house locked when you came here? |
6058 | But how can you, dear? |
6058 | But how did you come to find it? 6058 But how did you come to have dis one-- Ware?" |
6058 | But how do you know that it_ is_ his will? |
6058 | But how shall we repeat the experiment? 6058 But how would you do it?" |
6058 | But if it does not, Hesden? |
6058 | But if my explanation is thus far sufficient, will you allow me to sit down while I tell you the rest? 6058 But suppose I were?" |
6058 | But suppose these states should refuse to submit to such inspection, or accept such appropriation? |
6058 | But suppose-- suppose there should not be; what would be the effect? |
6058 | But was there no equivalent system of local self- government in those states? |
6058 | But whar''bouts in de house yer gwine ter put him, Marse Hesden? |
6058 | But what about Red Wing? |
6058 | But what can you do? 6058 But what for? |
6058 | But what have you in that bundle, Captain? |
6058 | But what reason can you give for this belief? |
6058 | But what then? |
6058 | But what yer gwine ter do wid de ole house? |
6058 | But what, my dear? |
6058 | But why not, Nimbus? |
6058 | But why should this affect you? |
6058 | But you are not a Radical? |
6058 | But you are not bound to do that? |
6058 | But you did n''t lick Ben, did you, Berry? |
6058 | But you must have another name? |
6058 | But your mother, Hesden, what of her? |
6058 | But, see h''yer, Mister, ai n''t de law a doin dis ter make dem lawful chillen? |
6058 | But_ how?_said the other querulously. |
6058 | By the Ku Klux? |
6058 | By whom? |
6058 | Can I see the General, gentlemen? |
6058 | Can not? |
6058 | Can ye see the Gineral, Kurnel? |
6058 | Collect? |
6058 | Could n''t we hab a church here? |
6058 | Cousin Hetty,said the invalid,"will you ask Hesden to come here for a moment?" |
6058 | Dar, now, jes see what yer done git fer being so contrary- like, will yer? |
6058 | Dat did n''t save me from bein''stripped an''beat, did it? |
6058 | Dat''s what dat ar sheriff man said my Nimbus was-- a non--_non_--what, Miss Mollie? 6058 Dead?" |

6058 | Der Lo''d an''der nation, what will happen next? 6058 Dey''s been hunted like''em too, eh?" |
6058 | Did it ever? 6058 Did n''t I tell yer dat Nimbus was safe, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | Did n''t they tell you you''d be worse off with the Yankees than you were with them? |
6058 | Did n''t you believe them? |
6058 | Did what? |
6058 | Did you ever know anything about his family there? |
6058 | Did you ever know anything mean or disreputable about him? |
6058 | Did you ever see such a change? |
6058 | Did you know him then? |
6058 | Did''Gena get away, Nimbus? |
6058 | Died, yer say? |
6058 | Dis yours too, Bre''er Nimbus? |
6058 | Do n''t I? 6058 Do n''t yer see how dey cotch derselves? |
6058 | Do n''t you see that I have been out and gathered leaves and flowers to decorate your room, in honor of the event? |
6058 | Do they keep up their former intimacy? |
6058 | Do you accept the terms? |
6058 | Do you hang it right up after cutting? |
6058 | Do you know whether he ever corresponded with any of our relatives at the North? |
6058 | Do you mean it? |
6058 | Do you mean that you are not accustomed as I am to invalidism, and hardly like the notion of supping in bed as an introduction to strangers? 6058 Do you think so, Hesden?" |
6058 | Do you think-- that-- that this will is genuine? |
6058 | Does she know her good luck? |
6058 | Down ter Red Wing, sah? |
6058 | Due her? 6058 Ebber you see de beat ub dat? |
6058 | Edna Richards-- Edna Richards? |

6058 | Gittin''on, Bre''er Nimbus? |
6058 | Gittin''on, did yer say? 6058 Going away? |
6058 | Has no other complaint been lodged against Colonel Desmit? |
6058 | Have n''t I been kind to you always? |
6058 | Have n''t you got anything to drink, Ware? |
6058 | Have you any further complaint to make against Colonel Desmit? |
6058 | Have you owned him long? |
6058 | Have you seen her? |
6058 | Have you seen my horse, Midnight? |
6058 | How I git it? |
6058 | How about Nimbus? |
6058 | How are they armed? |
6058 | How d''ye, Colonel? |
6058 | How de debble yer come ter sign sech a paper, Berry? |
6058 | How did it happen? |
6058 | How did you come down here? |
6058 | How did you get a boat, then? |
6058 | How did you get here? |
6058 | How do you come to be here? |
6058 | How do you connect with the consequences, which can not be doubted, the cause you assign? 6058 How do you do, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | How do you like him? |
6058 | How is dis, Nimbus? 6058 How many are there?" |
6058 | How much have you got here? |
6058 | How old are you? |
6058 | How old do you think-- twenty- one? |
6058 | How so? |
6058 | How yer do, Berry? 6058 How you get it?" |
6058 | How''d ye hear dat? |
6058 | How''d yer manage ter live t''rough dis yer night,''Gena? 6058 How''s Mr. Ware and the people? |
6058 | How''s all gittin''on wid ye, ennyhow? |
6058 | How''s dat, Berry? |
6058 | How? |
6058 | I beg your pardon, little mother,said Hesden smiling;"but was it to make this inquiry you called me from my business?" |
6058 | I do n''t mean ter ax ef yer''s jes got nothin''agin''him, but is yer that kind ob a friend ez''ll stan''by him in trouble? |
6058 | I''m a Radical? |
6058 | If we do not accept her proposal, you will no doubt become her attorney? |
6058 | If you were in a tight place, would you have confidence in Jordan Jackson as a friend? |
6058 | In his young days? |
6058 | In this county? |
6058 | Indeed? 6058 Indeed? |
6058 | Indeed? |
6058 | Is anybody hurt? |
6058 | Is dat de law, Mister Sheriff? |
6058 | Is dat you, Berry? |
6058 | Is dat you,''Gena? |
6058 | Is he white? |
6058 | Is it anything surprising,said he,"that the day I lost him should be the day he captured him?" |
6058 | Is n''t Hetty one of the family? |
6058 | Is n''t Marblehead near Cape Cod? |
6058 | Is she long or short, fat or lean, dark or fair? 6058 Is that all?" |
6058 | Is that it, Lorency? |
6058 | Is that you, Nimbus? 6058 Is that you, Nimbus?" |
6058 | Is the church all burned down, Nimbus? |
6058 | Is you hurt, honey? |
6058 | Is you willin'', Marse War''? |
6058 | It was not Uncle John''s usual signature, then? |
6058 | Just look at this old sunflower, will you? 6058 Kase white folks wo n''t see good fine- terbacker lan''when dey walks ober it, tain''t my fault, is it?" |
6058 | Kase why? |
6058 | Keep it up? 6058 Lick him? |
6058 | Likely critter, ai n''t it? |
6058 | Marse Desmit? |
6058 | Marse Hesden, does yer mind de loft ober de ole dinin''-room, whar we all used ter play ob a Sunday? |
6058 | Marse Hesden,whispered the colored man, laying a hand trembling with excitement on his shoulder as he came near,"is yer a friend ter''Liab Hill?" |
6058 | Mean? 6058 Might he not have meant any or all of these?" |
6058 | Miss Mollie,he said, tenderly,"will you forgive my not coming before?" |
6058 | Nimbus owns the land, do n''t he? |
6058 | Nimbus what? |
6058 | Nimbus what? |
6058 | Nimbus? 6058 Nimbus? |
6058 | Nimbus? |
6058 | No more tain''t, Nimbus; but do n''t yer s''pose yer Marse Potem''s smartly worried over it? |
6058 | No, Miss Mollie, but do n''t yer know dat de Ku Kluckers ai n''t a- gwine ter fergit it? |
6058 | No? 6058 No? |
6058 | No? 6058 Nothing else? |
6058 | Now what''s de use o''votin''agin dat? 6058 Now you, Berry,"said Nimbus, extending his hand heartily,"what for yer no tell me dis afore?" |
6058 | Now, Cousin Nimbus, yer ai n''t in airnest, is yer? 6058 Now, Nimbus, have n''t I always been a good master to you?" |
6058 | Oh, Bre''er Nimbus, yer do n''t mean dat now? |
6058 | Oh, hold on,said Desmit;"how old is it, Lorency?" |
6058 | Oh, my son, what does she know of family pride? |
6058 | Oh, why-- why, Hesden, should she do that? 6058 Only one?" |
6058 | P''litical trouble? |
6058 | Perhaps so,good- naturedly, taking back the certificate;"what do you want me to write?" |
6058 | Poor but honest? |
6058 | Pshaw, now,said Nimbus,"''what sort o''way is dat ter hev things? |
6058 | Reckon you hardly expected me to day? |
6058 | Robbed, did he say? |
6058 | Run away? |
6058 | Say dat agin'', wo n''t yer, Mahs''r? |
6058 | She was a Lomax-- Margaret Lomax, I believe?'' 6058 Sho, sho, Berry,"replied Nimbus, reproachfully;"what makes Sally sech a big fool? |
6058 | Sis,he said, calling her by the pet name of their childhood,"what day of the month is it?" |
6058 | So hit appears; but ai n''t it quare dat I should hev ole Mahs''r''s name widout his gibbin''it ter me, ner my axin''fer it, Mister? |
6058 | So you really think,said the Northerner dubiously,"that such a measure would produce good results even in the present generation?" |
6058 | So you''s done put in dat name-- Desmit? |
6058 | So: you''re the curer at Knapp- of- Reeds, I believe? |
6058 | Sued you? 6058 Sure? |
6058 | Tell the truth, Berry; when did you eat last? |
6058 | That? 6058 The first name he ever knew? |
6058 | Then why are you doing this? 6058 Then why did n''t you take your old mahs''r''s name, like de rest, and not have all dis trouble?" |
6058 | Then,said the old man,"what''s we ter do fer a libbin''? |
6058 | They say your name is Desmit-- Nimbus Desmit,said the officer;"is that so?" |
6058 | Think? 6058 Tink so, Bre''er Nimbus? |
6058 | To return-- when? |
6058 | Very true; but why should not the Nation distribute a like bounty upon the same system? 6058 Wal now, ai n''t dat cool? |
6058 | Wal, now, that was kind of him, was n''t it? |
6058 | Wal,continued Lugena,"do n''t yer see? |
6058 | Wal,''Gena? |
6058 | Want a blank? |
6058 | War that yours, misther? |
6058 | Was he a slave? 6058 Was he then alive?" |
6058 | Was it Marblehead? |
6058 | Was my grandfather a bachelor when he came here? |
6058 | Was n''t that your old master''s name? |
6058 | Was that the way this was bought? |
6058 | Was that you, Nimbus? |
6058 | Well, I thought you were sure that Nimbus was safe? |
6058 | Well, Lorency, Mr. Ware says you have made me a present since I was here? |
6058 | Well, did you ever know anything disreputable about_ me?_keenly. |
6058 | Well, did you find any descendants of this''Red Jim''living? |
6058 | Well, ma''am,said the sheriff,"what do you think should be done now?" |
6058 | Well, on whose land do you work? |
6058 | Well, then, ai n''t it yours too? |
6058 | Well, then, that''s yours, ai n''t it-- your surname-- Nimbus Desmit? |
6058 | Well, were n''t you saucy, Nimbus? 6058 Well, what did I do? |
6058 | Well, what else? |
6058 | Well, what is her name, and when does she wish to take possession? |
6058 | Well, what is it? |
6058 | Well, what then? 6058 Well, why was it?" |
6058 | Well, would you do me a good turn to pay for that? |
6058 | Well,said Hesden,"did you connect him with this will?" |
6058 | Well,said Hesden,"have you found the heirs?" |
6058 | Well,said the clerk as he took up his pen and prepared to fill out the blank,"what is your name?" |
6058 | Well? |
6058 | Well? |
6058 | Well? |
6058 | Well? |
6058 | Well? |
6058 | Well? |

6058 | What de wah ebber take from you, Mister Dossey, only jes yer oberseer''s whip? 6058 What did they say?" |
6058 | What did they say? |
6058 | What did you come here for? |
6058 | What do you mean by''bulking it down''? |
6058 | What do you mean to do? |
6058 | What do you mean, Charles? |
6058 | What do you mean, Nimbus? |
6058 | What do you mean? |
6058 | What do you say, Hesden? 6058 What do you want now, gal?" |
6058 | What do you want to do? |
6058 | What do you want, sir? |
6058 | What does it mean? 6058 What else did yer tink Berry mean, hey? |
6058 | What else? 6058 What has put you in this strange mood, Eliab?" |
6058 | What have you done with that snivelling hop- toad minister? |
6058 | What is dis ting, anyhow, Marse Sheriff? |
6058 | What is it, Mahs''r? |
6058 | What is it? |
6058 | What is your name? |
6058 | What may that have been? |
6058 | What wages d''ye git? |
6058 | What was he like? |
6058 | What was your old master''s name? |
6058 | What you know''bout poll- tax, Berry? |
6058 | What you tink ob dis ting,''Liab? |
6058 | What you wants ob dat, Miss Mollie? |
6058 | What''s the gal''s name? |
6058 | What''s the matter? |
6058 | What''s this all about? |
6058 | What''s your name? |
6058 | What''s your name? |
6058 | What''ud I sell out an''leave for? 6058 What, Berry?" |
6058 | What, sir? 6058 What,"said Hesden, with a start;"what did you say is the name of the heir?" |
6058 | When did this matter of the stick occur? |
6058 | When do you say you saw him? |
6058 | When? |
6058 | When? |
6058 | Where are you going? |
6058 | Where are you going? |
6058 | Where did you come from? |
6058 | Where did you live? |
6058 | Where do you live? |
6058 | Where have you been since? |
6058 | Where is the new- ground this year? |
6058 | Where is''Liab Hill? |
6058 | Where was he then? |
6058 | Where was it? |
6058 | Where''s that? |
6058 | White? |
6058 | Who do you work for? |
6058 | Who ebber seed a man walkin''''roun''wid his head split wide open afo''? |
6058 | Who ever saw such a thunder- cloud? |
6058 | Who is at the head of it? |
6058 | Who is that? |
6058 | Who is there? |
6058 | Who is with her? |
6058 | Who''s dar? |
6058 | Who''s there? |
6058 | Whose ter hender my talkin'', I''d like ter know? 6058 Why ca n''t ye dhrive? |
6058 | Why can I not drive on? |
6058 | Why did you not write to me? |
6058 | Why do n''t you tell us the name of the heir, Captain? 6058 Why do you say that? |
6058 | Why do you say that? |
6058 | Why do you say''strong,''mother? |
6058 | Why should I? |
6058 | Why should I? |
6058 | Why so? |
6058 | Why so? |
6058 | Why, Nimbus, what is this you tell me? 6058 Why, how could that be?" |
6058 | Why, how is that,''Gena? |
6058 | Why, mother, what is it? |
6058 | Why, they hold the League meetings there, do n''t they? |
6058 | Why, what do yer want ter lib dar fer? |
6058 | Why, what do you mean? |
6058 | Why, what does dis mean, Berry? |
6058 | Why, what''s de matter wid yer, Cynthy? |
6058 | Why, you do n''t think he''s hurt-- not seriously, do you? |
6058 | Why? 6058 Will yer come wid me, Marse Hesden-- slip on yer clo''es an''come wid me, jist a minnit?" |
6058 | Will you be my trustee? |
6058 | Will you please read it, sah? 6058 Will you promise me one thing?" |
6058 | Would he let you approach him? |
6058 | Would it cause her less were I to refuse what she has so delicately given? |
6058 | Would you like me to-- to stay-- until-- until this is over? |
6058 | Yer a''n''t a gwine ter take sech a present ez dis from a pore cullud gal an''not so much ez giv''her someting ter remember hit by, is yer? |
6058 | Yer do n''t mean ter say yer''d go an''leave us fer good, does yer, Miss Mollie? |
6058 | Yer do n''t mean yer gwine ter run away on de''count ob dese yer Ku Kluckers, does yer, Berry? |
6058 | Yer do n''t say so, Nimbus? |
6058 | Yer do n''t tink so? 6058 Yer hain''t seen no ghosteses nor nuffin'', bez ye?" |
6058 | Yer hain''t turned politician, hez yer? |
6058 | Yes, Bre''er Nimbus, but who''s a- gwine ter s''port''em while we''s waitin''fer de white folks ter back down, I wants ter know? |
6058 | Yes, here it is, sure''nough, Nimbus; but did n''t you promise me you would n''t have so many names? |
6058 | Yes, ma''am, I hears; but whar you gwine, Miss Mollie? |
6058 | Yes, sah? |
6058 | Yes,said the clerk, just glancing up, but not intermitting his work;"what do you want?" |
6058 | Yes,was the reply, after a thoughtful pause;"but would not that necessitate a National supervision of State schools?" |
6058 | Yes? |
6058 | You accept the proposal then? |
6058 | You are not likely to lose by it then, in any event? |
6058 | You are quite right, Berry,said Hesden;"but what do_ you_ say is the reason you have come away from the South?" |
6058 | You do n''t mean it, Charles? |
6058 | You do n''t say so? 6058 You do n''t say? |
6058 | You do n''t think they would hurt you-- a woman? |
6058 | You do n''t think, now, that it''s any harm to talk that way before niggers and set them against the white people either, I suppose? |
6058 | You do not think a Richards could have been so dishonorable as to rob his cousin''s orphans? |
6058 | You have adopted, then, the Fourth of July remedy for all national ills? |
6058 | You knows what sort uv a wuk- hand I is in de crap, Bre''er Nimbus? |
6058 | You mean the Peabody Fund? |
6058 | You say you have no complaint to make about that affair? |
6058 | You see dat_ dis_charge? |
6058 | You see dem clo''es? 6058 You think I have said enough?" |
6058 | You think he never wrote? |
6058 | You will have him now, and will prize him for my sake, will you not, Sis? |
6058 | You will leave here, then? |
6058 | You, Nimbus? |
6058 | You? |
6058 | You? |
6058 | Your trustee in what? |
6058 | _ Do n''t_ yer see, Miss Mollie,said the woman impatiently,"dat dey could n''t hab got''em bofe togedder,''cept Berry had found Nimbus fust?" |
6058 | _ Registered_, you mean, I suppose? |
6058 | _ Send_ it to you? |
6058 | _ Wal!_ Do n''t yer see dar would hev been a-- a--_terrible_ fight afore dem two niggas would hev gin up Bre''er''Liab, let alone derselves? 6058 ''Ai n''t dis yer my crap, Marse Hooper? 6058 ''An''when I tole him he sez,''You know who dat is? 6058 ''Bout dat fight? |
6058 | ''D''ye heah dat shot,''Gena? |
6058 | ''Sides dat, dey''s got de bosses an''de guns, an''de''sperience; an''what we got? |
6058 | ''Spose all de white men in Ho''sford is agin us, what''s we gwine ter do? |
6058 | --jes so;''do n''t yer know hit''s in de papers dat ef yer do n''t''bey me an''wuk obedient ter my wishes, yer do n''t git nary cent, nohow at all?'' |
6058 | After a moment he half raised it and said, weakly,"Will you please call Nimbus, Miss Mollie? |
6058 | After a moment''s pause he continued,"Are you willing that I should give Miss Ainslie any statement I may choose of this matter?" |
6058 | After many attempts he wrote as follows:"Miss MOLLIE AINSLIE:"Will you permit me to come and see you, upon the conditions imposed when I saw you last? |
6058 | Ai n''t I ez free ez he is?" |
6058 | Ai n''t I well''nough off whar I is?" |
6058 | Ai n''t what yer''s been a- tellin''on him brekfas''an''dinner an''supper ter him? |
6058 | An''ef we does, ai n''t it jest a shiftin''ub han''s? |
6058 | An''how''s he lef ole Missus an''de gals, I wonder?" |
6058 | An''whar''s Nimbus an''de chillen?" |
6058 | An''who yer tink tuk keer ob me den, Marse Hesden?" |
6058 | An''you de minister? |
6058 | And how did the white brothers and sisters of these messengers of a matchless benevolence receive them? |
6058 | And the crops?" |
6058 | And then-- what came afterward?" |
6058 | And what has he gained? |
6058 | Are we afraid that he will grow wiser than we? |
6058 | Are we afraid to give him a chance to do so? |
6058 | Are you not making that inquiry too soon?" |
6058 | As she did so a cry burst from her lips, and she said,"Oh, Hesden, Hesden, where did you get it? |
6058 | As they walked along the sheriff said,"Did you notice the horse that Yankee schoolmarm rode?" |
6058 | Besides, why should I be juster than the law? |
6058 | Boasting that we could outrun our adversary, would we hamstring him at the starting- post? |
6058 | But could it be possible that a people, a race priding itself upon its superiority, should be unwilling or afraid to see the experiment fairly tried? |
6058 | But whar''s ye gwine ter put''Liab, Marse Hesden?" |
6058 | But what has that to do with the matter? |
6058 | But what is your proposal?" |
6058 | But when the freedman refuses to acknowledge the master''s name as his, who can impose it on him? |
6058 | But where_ shall_ we put him? |
6058 | But why do you give him that name?" |
6058 | By the way, Captain, is it a boy or girl, and is it old or young?" |
6058 | Ca n''t you read it? |
6058 | Calling her serving woman, she asked impetuously:"Maggie, is your Master Hesden about the house?" |
6058 | Can the South and the North ever be made one people in thought, spirit, and purpose? |
6058 | Can you get him something to eat without making any stir?" |
6058 | Can you stand it a few nights more?" |
6058 | Could not intelligence cope with ignorance without fraud? |
6058 | D''ye hear? |
6058 | D''yer h''yer dat,''Liab?" |
6058 | D''yer heah?'' |
6058 | D''yer know,''Gena, wuz enny on''em killed?" |
6058 | D''yer see dat man dar, a- bleedin''an''a- groanin''? |
6058 | D''yer see_ now_, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | Dar''s nobody''s got enny right ter gib me one, an''ef I choose one dis week what''s ter hender my takin''ob anudder nex week?" |
6058 | Dat what yer ax? |
6058 | Den he say,"''Who you b''long to, ennyhow, boy?'' |
6058 | Dey must hev a name, an''I mus''hev one ter gib''em, but how''s I gwine ter git one? |
6058 | Did n''t I make it, jest a- payin''ter you one third on''t for de rent?'' |
6058 | Did n''t I tell yer dar wuz a good time comin''?" |
6058 | Did n''t it ripen mighty uneven, Nimbus?" |
6058 | Did n''t know it, did you? |
6058 | Did n''t my words''spress demselves cl''ar? |
6058 | Did they''buse you,''Gena?" |
6058 | Did you ever hear anything agin''me outside of my politics?" |
6058 | Did you ever hear of such a person as Edna Richards?" |
6058 | Did you suppose we was going to sit still and let them burn and ravage without opposition? |
6058 | Do n''t yer see he''s a talkin''to yer?" |
6058 | Do n''t you think so, Hesden?" |
6058 | Do n''t you think so, Maggie?" |
6058 | Do tell us all about her?" |
6058 | Do yer mean ter say dat Marse Sykes turn you uns offen his plantation while you''se all away, jes kase yer come ter de meetin''yesterday?" |
6058 | Do you hear it, Hesden? |
6058 | Do you hear that, Hesden? |
6058 | Do you think you could ride him?" |
6058 | Do you understand me now?" |
6058 | Do you understand?" |
6058 | Does it make ary difference-- at least enough ter speak on-- whether a white man hez his wuk done by one nigger er another?" |
6058 | Does you read all de papers yer signs, Squar''Nimbus? |
6058 | Dunno? |
6058 | Ef we leave one man, how''s we gwine ter git wuk wid anodder? |
6058 | Got a half- dollar?" |
6058 | HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE? |
6058 | HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE? |
6058 | HOW? |
6058 | Had n''t we better just set the cabin afire and let it burn?" |
6058 | Had she not lived in the old"Or''nary,"taught in their school, advised, encouraged, and helped them? |
6058 | Hain''t I been a- sojerin''nigh onter two year now? |
6058 | Hain''t I he d pay an''bounty, an''rations too? |
6058 | Hain''t I jes''de same right ter talk ez you er Marse Sykes, an''would n''t you call me a damn rascal ef I''d done ez he did? |
6058 | Has he sued me?" |
6058 | Hath the bird spoken? |
6058 | Have you any baggage?" |
6058 | Have you any solution to offer?" |
6058 | Have you lost all spirit since you became a Radical?" |
6058 | He came with his hat in his hand, saying respectfully,"How d''ye, Marse Desmit?" |
6058 | He dragged Nimbus through the crowd to intercept his wife, crying out as soon as they came near:"H''yer, you Sally Ann, what yer tinks now? |
6058 | He had not quite looked for her to be so calm, and he was almost annoyed by it; so dropping her hand, he said, weakly,"Shall I never see you again?" |
6058 | He had set before him this problem:"New England Puritanism and Southern Prejudice; how shall they be reconciled?" |
6058 | He says you and''Liab enticed away his servant-- what''s his name? |
6058 | He was answered after a moment''s delay by a colored woman, who came out from the kitchen and exclaimed,"Who''s dah?" |
6058 | He would come and ask, and she-- would give? |
6058 | Hers? |
6058 | Hesden refuses to be my heir, and you refuse to be my devisee; must I give it to the poor?" |
6058 | Hesden''s? |
6058 | Hesden, are you mad? |
6058 | Hev you ebber ben ter de school, Mr. Sheriff? |
6058 | How I gwine ter know what''s in dat paper, hey? |
6058 | How are you, and how have you left all at home?" |
6058 | How can such a girl think of associating with niggers and teaching a nigger school? |
6058 | How can you know the meanings of words, and yet not apprehend the thought conveyed?" |
6058 | How could he ask her to come where sneers and insults awaited her? |
6058 | How could he endure insults upon his love? |
6058 | How could he? |
6058 | How could she face sneers? |
6058 | How d''ye do, Mahs''r?" |
6058 | How did your first barn cure up, Nimbus?" |
6058 | How funny that you should strike upon the very name?" |
6058 | How should I be? |
6058 | How would it do for a polling- place?" |
6058 | How''s dat fer cousinin'', eh? |
6058 | How''s that, Nimbus?" |
6058 | How''s we gwine ter s''port dem widout home or wuk?" |
6058 | How, pray, was it done at the North? |
6058 | How? |
6058 | I hope the stock and hands are in good condition?" |
6058 | I say, old fellow, when did you leave the ark?" |
6058 | I thought I''d ax, if ye should git in a notion of selling, what yer''d take fer yer place here?" |
6058 | I wonder if they did n''t bring over niggers too?" |
6058 | I wonder why it is that cripples are always so queer, anyhow?" |
6058 | Is it a Kurnel ye is, an''do n''t know that? |
6058 | Is it a signature? |
6058 | Is that enough, sir? |
6058 | Is this woman able to give away such a fortune?" |
6058 | It is evident that they have not been in the past; can they become so in the future? |
6058 | It would perhaps be well for countries which are to- day wrestling with the question:"What shall we do with our poor?" |
6058 | It''ll do you a power of good-- you an''yours-- but what good wud it do if a poor crippled feller like me he d it? |
6058 | It''s very partickler the General is about insthructin''us ter ax the names of thim that''s wantin''an''inthroduction to him, ye know?" |
6058 | Jes let''em know I''m on der way, will yer? |
6058 | Jest ez I''d got de basket nigh''bout full, who should start up dar, outen de bushes, on''y jes Marse Hooper; an''he sez, mighty brisk- like,''So? |
6058 | Just as they stepped upon the bridge Desmit heard a lank Hoosier ask,"What is in them bar''ls?" |
6058 | Just to shield my father''s name?" |
6058 | Le Moyne to her son, as he sat by her bedside while she read this letter,"will you not write to Miss Ainslie?" |
6058 | Le Moyne''s health such as to permit her considering this matter now?" |
6058 | Le Moyne, to make such a measure of present interest in the cure of present evils?" |
6058 | Le Moyne,"said the former, after a long and thoughtful pause,"is there any remedy for these things? |
6058 | Le Moyne,"were you in earnest in what you said yesterday in regard to receiving any benefits under this deed?" |
6058 | Le Moyne?" |
6058 | Le Moyne?" |
6058 | Listen at him now?" |
6058 | Married or single?" |
6058 | May I ask to whom it belongs?" |
6058 | May I hope that he will be known henceforth only as Midnight? |
6058 | No? |
6058 | None?" |
6058 | Nothing very bad, I hope?" |
6058 | Now what I want ter change it fer, er what I want ob enny mo''? |
6058 | Now what''s yer gwine ter do''bout it? |
6058 | Now you heah dat, do n''t yer?" |
6058 | Now, Miss Mollie, what yer s''pose hez come ob dat ar mule an''carryall? |
6058 | Now, do n''t yer know dat ef he was dead dey would n''t be a suin''on him an''a swearin''he''d run away?" |
6058 | Now, how''s we gwine ter lib during dat time? |
6058 | Now, what''s we gwine ter do? |
6058 | Now, what_ you_ think, Berry?" |
6058 | One is inclined to ask, with a laugh,"Well, what of it?" |
6058 | Opening the door he called out:"Who''s dar?" |
6058 | Or is it your new- found cousin you feel so bad for? |
6058 | Our grandfather, James Richards, came here from Pennsylvania, did he not?" |
6058 | Please come out h''yer a minnit, wo n''t yer?" |
6058 | Quick ez he look at it he say,''Whar you git dat, boy? |
6058 | S''pose I take ole Marse War''s name ober dar?" |
6058 | Sally, you jest interduce Cousin Nimbus ter de rest ob dis family, will yer?" |
6058 | Say, how d''y''e like de soun''? |
6058 | She looked at him and said,"You were very fond of your horse?" |
6058 | She sez ter me, sez she,''Maggie, ebber you see anybody look so much like de Mistis made young again?''" |
6058 | So she smiled artlessly, and said:"Only two days? |
6058 | So what I lock de do''fer? |
6058 | Stealin''corn, is yer?'' |
6058 | Still another said:"Will our people suffer a covert danger to rankle in their midst until it gains strength to burst into an open enemy? |
6058 | Suppose I call you George Nimbus?" |
6058 | The man was gathering up his reins when Nimbus said:"When did yer say ole Mahsr''s funeral was gwine ter be?" |
6058 | The new song her lips had been taught to sing had made thin and weak every melody of the past, Shall care cumber the heart of the bride? |
6058 | The sheriff nodded awkwardly to the ladies, as if doubtful how much deference it would do to display, said,"How d''ye,''Liab?" |
6058 | The slip of paper which she held contained only the following apparently unintelligible scrawl:"And you never saw it but once?" |
6058 | Then to the occupant of the carriage:"What did yer honor say might be yer name, now? |
6058 | Then was Pharaoh greatly astonished, and he said, How is this? |
6058 | Then, after a pause,"Do you know how I got him?" |
6058 | Then, glancing quickly around, he said in a low, earnest voice:"Hez ye heerd from Red Wing lately, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | Thought you could go and take a man''s"hands"right out from under his nose, and not get into trouble about it, did n''t ye?" |
6058 | Uncle Nimbus,"said Berry, very thoughtfully,"dat dis yer ting_ freedom_ waz a durn curus affair fer we cullud people, ennyhow?" |
6058 | WHAT SHALL THE END BE? |
6058 | WHAT SHALL THE END BE? |
6058 | Wal, whar yer''spose dat''backer gone ter, hey?" |
6058 | Ware''s?" |
6058 | Ware?" |
6058 | Ware?" |
6058 | Warn''t you better off as a slave than I am free?" |
6058 | Was any one else hurt?" |
6058 | Was she not_ their_ Miss Mollie? |
6058 | We ai n''t proud, not a bit proud, Bre''er Nimbus, an''yer ai n''t a gwine ter forgit us, is yer? |
6058 | We''s got ter lib an''so''s our wives an''chillens? |
6058 | Well, Desmit is your surname, then, ai n''t it?" |
6058 | Well, now, mister, do n''t you know that the General is too nervous to see company to- day? |
6058 | Whar''is Sally?" |
6058 | Whar''s we gwine ter lib? |
6058 | What YOU gwine ter do''bout dis yer matter, Uncle''Liab?" |
6058 | What am I to my race? |
6058 | What are you going to do, Brother Berry? |
6058 | What are you here for, anyhow? |
6058 | What can that have to do with this horrid matter?" |
6058 | What can you do?--what can you do?" |
6058 | What did the bird say unto thee? |
6058 | What does dis mean? |
6058 | What does it all mean anyhow? |
6058 | What does it mean, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | What good did fightin''er prayin''either used ter do in ole slave times? |
6058 | What is his history?" |
6058 | What is this thing anyhow?" |
6058 | What makes you think there is anything to be known about it?" |
6058 | What reason was there for complaint or apprehension, on his part? |
6058 | What right I got ter his name? |
6058 | What was your old master''s name?" |
6058 | What will I do, Miss Mollie, what will I do? |
6058 | What wonder that it was ravished from their care? |
6058 | What would not the newspapers give to know that of you, Hesden?" |
6058 | What yer gwine ter do''bout it, Nimbus?" |
6058 | What yer s''pose dem fer,''Liab? |
6058 | What yer say now, you Sally Ann, ai n''t yer''shamed fer what yer sed''bout Bre''er Nimbus only dis yere mornin''?" |
6058 | What yer tinks ob dat now?" |
6058 | What yer''spect it mout be, cousin?" |
6058 | What you say to him, you little fool?'' |
6058 | What you say, now?" |
6058 | What you tinks on''t,''Liab?" |
6058 | What''ll I do? |
6058 | What''ll I do?" |
6058 | What''s de use? |
6058 | What''s he ebber done, I''d like ter know, ter be debbled roun''dis yer way? |
6058 | When he had finished, she said,"And you say the land mentioned there is the plantation you now occupy?" |
6058 | Where are you from?" |
6058 | Where do you think?" |
6058 | Where is''Liab? |
6058 | Where_ did_ you get it? |
6058 | Who or what could interfere with my right?" |
6058 | Who''s Berry ebber hurt? |
6058 | Who''se a better right, I''d like ter know? |
6058 | Whose is it?" |
6058 | Whose yer spose''tis?" |
6058 | Why I nebber tink ob dat afo''? |
6058 | Why de debble I nebber tink ob dat afo''? |
6058 | Why did n''t yer say nuffin''''bout bein''registered yo''self, eh? |
6058 | Why did n''t you go out of the room when I begged you to? |
6058 | Why do n''t you go back to the Yankees that you ran away to? |
6058 | Why do you ask all these questions? |
6058 | Why not?" |
6058 | Why should she give up all this for our sakes?" |
6058 | Why, Hesden, what_ do_ you mean? |
6058 | Why, does the girl propose to give away all this magnificent property for nothing?" |
6058 | Why? |
6058 | Why?" |
6058 | Will they stand idly and supinely, and witness the consummation of such an infamous conspiracy? |
6058 | Will they tamely submit while Hesden Le Moyne rallies the colored men to his standard and hands over Horsford to the enemy? |
6058 | Will yer go, sinner- mans? |
6058 | Will yer go? |
6058 | Will you allow me to do so?" |
6058 | Will you be my wife?" |
6058 | Will you hear me?" |
6058 | Work? |
6058 | Would n''t you have done that to a nigger that called you a''grand rascal''to your face?" |
6058 | Would one of you be kind enough to go for a doctor?" |
6058 | Would ye like an inthroduction, Kurnel?" |
6058 | Yer do n''t know Nimbus''s gwine away, does yer? |
6058 | Yer do n''t mean dat, pop- suah, does yer now?" |
6058 | Yer do n''t s''pose Nimbus am a- gwine ter turn thief at dis day, does yer?" |
6058 | Yer do n''t tell me? |
6058 | Yer hain''t done forgot Berry, I s''pose? |
6058 | Yer heah dat man? |
6058 | Yer see dem big pines dar, straight ez a arrer an''nigh''bout de same size from top ter bottom? |
6058 | Yer see dem sinners, eh?" |
6058 | Yer sees dat mule out dar?" |
6058 | Yer t''ought yer was damn smart, did n''t yer, not takin''enny store orders, an''a- tryin''to fo''ce me ter pay yer cash in de lump? |
6058 | Yer would n''t go back on yer relations, would yer, Nimbus? |
6058 | You are not discouraged?" |
6058 | You are not in debt?" |
6058 | You are sure he had never married before?" |
6058 | You damned black rascal, do you stand there and tell me I owe her anything?" |
6058 | You do n''t think he has the fever, do you?" |
6058 | You do n''t want dem to be different from others and have no surname?" |
6058 | You hear dat, Nimbus?" |
6058 | You hear dat,''Liab? |
6058 | You rascal, do you threaten me with the''Bureau''?" |
6058 | You told her, I suppose?" |
6058 | You were n''t hurt, were you?" |
6058 | _ Nimbus Ware?_ Where did you get dat name?" |
6058 | _ Nimbus Ware?_ Where did you get dat name?" |
6058 | asked the sheriff, casting his eye over the field;"forty thousand?" |
6058 | asked,"Want ary boy, Mahs''r?" |
6058 | cried Nimbus, his distress overcoming his fear,"is you hurt bad? |
6058 | cried a voice from the midst of a group of those first arriving,"how yer do dis mornin''? |
6058 | ha: what else?" |
6058 | he asked of Berry,"Baggage? |
6058 | he cried,"do you expect me to flinch at the thought of danger? |
6058 | he cried,"is it-- can it be our Miss Mollie, or has Nimbus gone clean crazy wid de rest ob his misfortins?" |
6058 | he made his Radicalism pay, did n''t he? |
6058 | little-- what''s yer name? |
6058 | said Berry,"what Berry want ob any brekfas''? |
6058 | said Goodspeed, with some eagerness,"and what may that be?" |
6058 | she exclaimed,"not the little nigger teacher at Red Wing?" |
6058 | sinner- mans, will yer go?" |
6058 | what yer gwine ter name him, Mahs''r? |
6058 | what''ll he ebber do widout Nimbus ter keer fer him?" |
6058 | what''s dat?" |
6058 | what''s de use ob bein''a fool? |
6058 | will yer go? |
6058 | wo n''t dat er be fun, jes makin''ole Mahs''r trot up ter de lick- log fer meanness ter a nigger? |
