21105he exclaimed,"can I believe my eyes?--is it really you?"
21105is that your reason, brother- in- law?
21105the man said, his voice being much pleasanter than his looks,"where do you hail from?
21105what are you doing there?"
5271''Like it,''is it? 5271 All right, Uncle Steve, I wo n''t; but why do you make it down there?
5271All right,said Midge;"but, Carter, row us a little farther down stream, wo n''t you, before you turn around?"
5271All right,said Molly,"what shall we do?"
5271All right; what shall be the automobile-- the bed?
5271And I''m glad to be here, Carter; and I have some seeds to plant; will you help me plant them?
5271And how did it happen?
5271And the dogs?
5271And what shall I remember to do for you, Rosy Posy?
5271Are there any ducks this year, Carter?
5271Are there children?
5271Are ye drowned?
5271Are you Marjorie?
5271Are you sure?
5271But how CAN we?
5271Ca n''t you think of any way, Mops?
5271Can we all go, Carter?
5271Carter,said Marjorie, putting her head in at the door,"are you very busy?"
5271Cats, is it? 5271 Come up yet, is it?
5271Did anybody ever have so many birthday gifts? 5271 Did n''t you know, child, that it is not becoming for a Maynard to go around the streets peddling things?"
5271Did your grandmother say you could go, Miss Midget?
5271Did your mother ask you what you wanted them for?
5271Do n''t laugh, Uncle, but you see, it''s such an awfully hot day and I really think it would comfort them to have--"A pink fan apiece, all''round?
5271Do n''t tell me, Eliza, because Uncle Steve said I must n''t ask questions about it; but do you think I''ll like it?
5271Do n''t you want to buy some pennyroyal extract?

5271Fifty cents a bottle, if you give the bottle back,said Stella, who felt that the lady''s friendliness toward her demanded that she should answer?

5271Grandma,she said,"then must I obey every rule that you would make if you thought of it, and how shall I know what they are?"

5271I''ll take these three,she said;"how much are they?"
5271Is it a picnic? 5271 Is n''t it gay?"
5271Is n''t it warm?
5271Is that all it''s worth, truly?
5271Is this Mrs. Dunn''s house?
5271It must be, indeed, handy to have in the house,she said;"where did you get it?"
5271It''s lucky, is n''t it, that I do n''t get punished for all the naughty things I do? 5271 It''s them crazy children in their tree- house,"he exclaimed;"but what the mischief do they be settin''off firecrackers for, in the pouring rain?
5271Know him? 5271 Made it yourselves?"
5271Marjorie, what can I do with you? 5271 May I have one when I am twelve, Mother?"
5271May I, may I?
5271Molly did suggest it, Grandma, but that does n''t make her the one to blame, for I did n''t have to do as she said, did I?
5271No, but I want to see it; and oh, Carter, do n''t you think you could teach me to row?
5271Now, what''s all this about pineapple extract?
5271Now, what''s the other pink thing, Midget?
5271Oh, Carter,cried Marjorie,"never mind us, but ca n''t you take Stella to the house somehow?
5271Oh, Carter,she cried,"have my seeds come up yet?
5271Oh, Marjorie, is she dead?
5271Oh, Midget, will you never learn commonsense? 5271 Oh, Uncle Steve, what is it for?"
5271Shall we go home?
5271Stepped in through the window, is it? 5271 Struck by lightning, is it?
5271Was n''t she lovely? 5271 We''ll all go together, wo n''t we?"
5271Well, I''ve had enough of it,said Marjorie;"now, how are we going to get back again?"
5271Well, Marjorie Maynard, where HAVE you been?
5271Well, Midget Mops,he said,"you have cut up a pretty trick, have n''t you?
5271Well, Midget,said Uncle Steve, as they were seated at the supper table,"does the old place look the same?"
5271Well, then, I must surely buy some,said the lady, smiling;"how much is it?"
5271What HAVE you been doing?
5271What WILL you do next, Marjorie?
5271What about the cow; does she miss me?
5271What are the seeds?
5271What are they, then?
5271What are we going to do this afternoon?
5271What are we going to do?
5271What are you trying to say, child?
5271What can we do,said Molly,"to get cooler?"

5271What then?
5271What will the punishment be, Grandma?
5271What''s in the basket, Carter?
5271What''s the house for? 5271 What''s your idea?"
5271Whatever has become of them two witches?
5271Where are the bottles?
5271Where can they be?
5271Where is it?
5271Which are you more sorry for, Marjorie,he asked:"because you did wrong or because you were punished?"
5271Which did?
5271Why did n''t you stay at Stella''s and not try to come home through this rain?
5271Why not, Grandma?
5271Why not?
5271Why,she said, looking at Stella,"are n''t you Guy Martin''s little girl?"
5271Why?
5271Wo n''t you come in?
5271Would n''t she let us make the extract?
5271Yes, Grandma, and_ I_ am so sorry, but please, oh, Grandma dear,--can''t you just postpone the punishment till to- morrow? 5271 Yes, and is n''t it funny that they can rhyme so well, too?"
5271Yes, but who''s going to push me off when I go down?
5271Yes,said Marjorie;"do you know Uncle Steve?"
5271Yes,said Molly;"can we take off our shoes and stockings and hang our feet over the sides of the boat?"
5271Yes; but how?
5271You mean just where the path turns to go to the garden?
5271_ I_ think you''ll take all three of us, and we''ll sit as still as mice, wo n''t we, Molly?
5271And I think we''ll make quite a lot of money, do n''t you?"
5271And how did ye get in now?
5271And what are the flowers?
5271Anything else?"
5271Are they all for me?"
5271Are you sending them something nice?"
5271Because if people are really struck by lightning they burn up, do n''t they, Marjorie?"
5271Busy, is it?
5271Busy?
5271But as the good- natured old man watched Marjorie''s face, and saw the look of disappointment settling upon it, he said:"But what matters that?
5271But how can we fire them in this awful rain?
5271But what kind of a baste is thot ye have there?
5271But what''s this thing at the back, Mopsy?
5271CHAPTER XI THE DUNNS"Marjorie,"said Mrs. Sherwood, one morning,"do you know where Mrs. Dunn lives?"
5271CHAPTER XVI FIRECRACKERS"Is she dead?"
5271Ca n''t we all go home, Carter?
5271Can I open them now?"
5271Did Grandma tell you?"
5271Did you bring them baskets for us?
5271Did you do it all for me, Grandma?"
5271Did you fall down?"
5271Did you hear them, Carter?"
5271Do I get anything to eat?"
5271Do come out and see it, wo n''t you?"
5271Do n''t you know that people who sell goods without a license must be arrested?
5271Do n''t you like her?"
5271Do you know, Eliza?"
5271Do you mean real chocolate creams, Uncle?"
5271Do you mean to say that you do n''t know that there''s a little post office in the lowest branch of that old maple- tree down by the brook?"
5271Do you suppose we could fire off some of those, and Carter would hear them?"
5271Do you yike it, Mopsy?"
5271Does n''t she want to go boating?"
5271Dunn?"
5271Dunn?"
5271Good land, Miss Marjorie, whatever did ye give me such a scare for?
5271Have a glass of milk?"
5271Have you a license?
5271Have you any here now?"
5271Have you anything that reminds you of that day?"
5271He glared at the girls with a ferocious expression, and then went on, in even louder tones:"What do you MEAN by such doings?
5271How did you ever come to think of it?
5271How did you ever guess that a key would unlock something?
5271I know you, little Miss Curly Head, you''re Steve Sherwood''s niece, are n''t you?"
5271Is Carter out there?"
5271Is it a truly picnic?"
5271Is it for birds?"
5271Is n''t it horrid?"
5271Is n''t she pretty?"
5271Is she a good little cat, Miss Midget dear?"
5271Is that your kitten?"
5271Is they piggy- wigs there?"
5271It was Marjorie''s turn to speak, and greatly encouraged by their late success, she began:"Would you like to buy some pennyroyal extract?
5271Just listen to it:"DEAR MOPSY: Why Are you away?
5271Let''s write letters to each other this winter; shall we?"
5271May I ask Molly to go with me?"
5271May I wear it always, Mother?"
5271May n''t I just take a broom and brush up a little?
5271NOW, will ye be good?"
5271Not a ladder, exactly, but do n''t you know how people sometimes escape from prisons by tying sheets together and letting themselves down?"
5271Now, how can we tell where to plant them when we do n''t know if they''ll come up lilies of the valley or elephant''s ears?"
5271Now, such a short vacation as that is n''t worth worrying about, is it?"
5271Oh, Carter, can we take Molly, too?"
5271Oh, we''ll have lots of fun, wo n''t we?"
5271Please, Carter, may n''t we just put our hands in the water if we keep our feet in the boat?"
5271See?"
5271Shall we pin or sew?"
5271There is n''t any one else I can send this morning and I have just heard that she is quite ill.""They''re awfully poor people, are n''t they?
5271This is Mrs. Clarke''s house; shall I talk here?"
5271Truly, Grandma, they''re a funny lot, and if you go there this afternoon, may n''t we go with you?"
5271Was it reckless driving, or did you collide with something?"
5271Was she out in the rain?"
5271We all have nicknames at home; do n''t you?"
5271What CAN we do?"
5271What are they, Mopsy?"
5271What are they?"
5271What can it be?"
5271What do people do when they''re shipwrecked?"
5271What have you been up to now?"
5271What makes you so good to me, anyhow?"
5271What will them youngsters be up to next?"
5271What would YOU do, Molly, if I said''boo''to you?"
5271What''ll your grandma say?"
5271What''s the matter, Dibbsy dear?"
5271What''s the use of having an Uncle Steve if you ca n''t play with him?"
5271What''s the use of worrying?
5271What''s your name?"
5271What''s yours?"
5271Whatever have you been a- doin''all this time?"
5271Whatever will the Missus say?
5271Where be ye?"
5271Where do you purchase these sateen affairs?"
5271Where is Blossom Banks, Uncle?"
5271Where shall we have it?"
5271Who broke it?"
5271Why not make it up here at the house?"
5271Whyever did ye go to yer tree- top shanty in such a shtorm?
5271Will that do?"
5271Will you get the book to- morrow?"
5271Will you remember that?"
5271Wo n''t that be nice?"
5271Would you have believed that little bits of yellow chickens, in an incubator, could write a nice, clear letter like this?
5271Would you mind telling me WHY you prefer the wardrobe flat on its face instead of in an upright position?"
5271Would you rather have a party, a picnic, or a present?"
5271You do n''t mind, do you?"
5271You never told me not to slide down the roof, did you?"
5271You wo n''t faint or anything, will you?"
5271cried Marjorie, waking, flushed from her nap, and delighted at having some one to speak to;"do you know why I''m here?
5271cried Molly, aghast,"whatever shall we do now?
5271exclaimed Molly,"what IS the matter with Stella?
5271screamed Molly,"What can that be?
20699A million?
20699A mop?
20699A piece of the shell?
20699A shilling?
20699A thousand dollars?
20699A what?

20699And what about your Aunt Maria? 20699 Any of your friends sick there?"
20699Ask me will I go?
20699But how would you feel to have me die in the night?
20699But who fired the guns?
20699Crazy?
20699Dear me, child, what are you doing with my starch?
20699Did I?
20699Did it? 20699 Did she?
20699Did what, child? 20699 Did you hear me say I did not believe he was in need of charity?"
20699Did you know,said Dotty,"I have n''t had any breakfast to- day?

20699Fwhat?

20699Has you got a pain, gamma?
20699Have n''t you a piece of apple pie, or a cup custard, to give a poor man that''s been in prison for you in the south country? 20699 Have you seen anything of my little Charlie?"

20699If I good would her put me in the closet? 20699 Is Prudy telling about the party?"
20699Is grandma busy, Aunt''Ria?
20699Is that a true story, now, honest?
20699Is that what kitty''s claws were made for?
20699Is um the Polly?
20699Is um_ you_?
20699It is n''t my turn,whispered she;"what are you nudging me for?"
20699It was you that did it, was it, you wicked mizzable kitty?
20699It''s growing wet here; have n''t you noticed it? 20699 Jennie,"said Miss Dimple, gravely, as they were walking with Katie between them,"do they ever read the Bible to you?"
20699Little maidens,said he, in gentle tones,"have you anything to give a poor tired wayfarer?"
20699Look at those little puddles in the road,said she;"do n''t they make you think of pudding- sauce-- molasses and cream, I mean-- for hasty- pudding?"
20699May her, gamma?
20699Must I?
20699Nicer than turnipers?
20699No claws?
20699No-- have you? 20699 Now whose will the ducklings be?"
20699Now you wo n''t think next time you know so much better than older people-- will you?
20699Now, I''m_ one_, Jennie, and you''re_ another_; and is n''t it wicked when we tell the leastest speck of a fib?
20699O, Jennie, who told your step- mother that Charlie Gray was tied up in a meal- bag? 20699 O, Miss Polly, are you dead?"
20699O, dear,thought Dotty,"what''s the use to be good?
20699O, ducks?
20699O, grandma,stammered she,"are there any ducks hatched?
20699O, is it? 20699 O, is it?"
20699O, is your face sore?
20699O, no, I could n''t; could I? 20699 O, there now,"whispered Dotty,"should n''t you think Mrs. Gray might give me three or four eggs for carrying the milk every single night?"
20699O, yes, the cassil?
20699O, you do n''t believe it-- do you?
20699Poll,said she,"do speak, and tell me what you have heard?
20699Put your foot in what?
20699Ruth,said Mrs. Parlin,"you are sure you have always measured the milk in that largest quart, and thrown in a gill or two more, as I directed?"
20699So must I,said grandmamma;"I make such poor work at guessing: I suppose they lived very frugally?"
20699Starch?
20699Stop,said Mrs. Parlin;"why does Mrs. Gray say she wants no more milk?"
20699Strawberrying, did you say?
20699Suppose we make up some poetry?
20699The dust of my feet-- do you hear?
20699The rhyme? 20699 Then, my dear, she did not say you brought too little milk?"
20699They do n''t milk very early at your house-- do they?
20699Well, YOU is n''t dead-- IS you? 20699 Well, mother, they lived to be more than sixty years old; and when they made their wills, how much money do you suppose they had to leave?
20699Well,said Katie, dancing out at the door,"when will the Charlie boy come back?
20699Were you sorry for him?
20699What are you hunting for on your hands and knees, Alice?
20699What did Horace want of squash seeds?
20699What does your grandmother generally have for supper?
20699What for you do n''t?
20699What in this world can you mean, Polly Whiting?
20699What is the nightmare?
20699What made you say Horace stole?
20699What makes her so cruel?
20699What makes you put on so much butter?
20699What party?
20699What will you call the rest of your boys?
20699What''s that?
20699What_ for_ she wo n''t?
20699When he gets well, wo n''t you let him come to our house and play croquet? 20699 Where am I?
20699Where are you going, Jennie?
20699Where is your little boy, Maria?
20699Where is your little cousin?
20699Where''s the sun? 20699 Which chin?"
20699Who knows but he''s a_ griller_?
20699Who told you so?
20699Who told you that?
20699Who''s Lightning Dodger?
20699Who''s this coming in at the gate?
20699Why ca n''t we see him?
20699Why do n''t you eat your luncheon, sir?
20699Why do n''t you hold your head up, darling?
20699Why do n''t you mind in a minute? 20699 Why do you do so?"
20699Why do you smile, little ladies? 20699 Why, Aunt Martha''s horse; do n''t you know?
20699Why, Charlie, darling,said Prudy,"who tied you on?"
20699Why, Katie,said Dotty, in a tone of reproof,"have n''t I told you he is all dead?"
20699Why, Queenie, what should we want of that? 20699 Why, child, barefoot?"
20699Why, dear little damsel, do I really understand you to say you eat chickens? 20699 Why, what time is it?
20699Why, what''s the matter, little Goody- Two- Shoes?
20699Why, where''s the rhyme?
20699Why, you do n''t know how to make up poetry-- do you?
20699Would you pour cold beans into anybody''s hands, Jennie Vance? 20699 Yes,"returned Prudy;"but do n''t you think now we''d better go to sleep?"
20699Yes,''m,said Dotty in a dreary tone;"may n''t Katie come too?
20699Yes,''um,replied Katie;"is you the Polly, and does you feel drefful?"
20699Yes; why?
20699You did n''t came to see big folks-- did you? 20699 You love my little Charlie-- don''t you, darling?"
20699You need n''t talk to me; where''s your orange?
20699_ Would_ you give me the ring now, honest?
20699And do you''spose I can keep my tongue out of the hole?"
20699And should I have gone barefoot if it had n''t been for you?"
20699And then, if we may, can you thpare uth a quart''o milk every thingle night?
20699But Dotty, how could you do such a thing?"
20699But by and by you grew up, Miss Polly, and, when you had a husband, he did n''t make you a dog-- did he?"
20699But is n''t Jennie silly too?
20699But they would not have fired a pistol at the barrel-- would they?
20699But what do you want of pins?"
20699But what is the object, may I ask, of your prowling about the house with this poor little girl at this hour of night?"
20699But where''s my ring?"
20699Ca n''t you say''a pill rolled down hill?''"
20699Did Miss Polly think oranges grew on bushes?
20699Did n''t I see her go off in the stage this morning?"
20699Did you ever go to school?"
20699Did you have a ladies''hoe?"
20699Did you make that up in your own head?"
20699Did_ I_ ask for the stawbollies?
20699Do n''t you know you can_ prove_ to me that you are sorry?"
20699Do n''t you suppose, Maria, that even prosy people, like you and me, might jingle poetry till in time it would become as easy as knitting- work?"
20699Do n''t you think that hen is very slow and very lazy?"
20699Do you think you were a naughty girl last night?"
20699Do_ you_ think much about God?"
20699Gueth what we''ve got over to my houthe?
20699How did I know it was n''t arrow- root?"
20699I did n''t say baskets would, did I?"
20699I never saw such a lazy old hen-- did you?
20699I shall say; and then he''ll come in and ask,''What do you want, mother?''"
20699Is n''t it writ right?
20699Is n''t she ashamed to wear that ring when it''s a sign her father is rich, and ca n''t go to heaven?"
20699Is n''t that funny?"
20699Is n''t that splendid?"
20699Is n''t this a_ hidden- mist_ carpet?"
20699It was little lisping Charlie Gray, saying,"If you pleathe,''m, may we have the Deacon to go to mill?
20699Just nothing but put your foot out?"
20699Just then a wagon drove up to the gate, and Ruth said, as she saw a burly figure alight from it,--"Why, that ca n''t be Uncle Seth?
20699Let me see; do you want me to tell you a conundrum?
20699May I keep the dolly?"
20699May n''t somebody go with me?"
20699Miss Polly,"said she, aloud, re- entering the barn,"is n''t this the longest night you ever saw in all the days of your life?"
20699Must it be asked?
20699My throat''s so far away from my feet, what hurt will it do?"
20699Not so much as a cup of coffee or a slice of beefsteak?
20699Now, you would n''t believe, would you, mother, that those two women could get rich by selling tag- locks?"
20699Perhaps there will be two or three odd ones over; and_ then_ what shall we do, Prudy?"
20699Prudy,_ did_ you?"
20699Ruthie, do n''t you suppose you and I can carry her up stairs?"
20699Shall I seam that stitch or_ plain_ it?"
20699She had been so happy in the thought of riding to Bloomingdale; could she give up that pleasure, and stay at home with Dotty?
20699Should they stand there and be struck by lightning, or try to go on, and only sink deeper and deeper till they choked and drowned?
20699Soft?
20699The Crossman orchard was not very far away now; but when they had reached it, and had crept under the fence, why, where were the strawberries?
20699The other little girl shakes her head, and says,''O, sister what makes you do so?
20699The same who had meal- bags tied to his feet?
20699Then she pours out half her money for the beggar, but scowls all the while.--Which is the''cheerful giver?''"
20699This is the way;''Why is an elephant like a traveller?
20699Was n''t he rich, and did n''t Jennie boast of it as if it was a great thing?
20699Was n''t it bad enough to have to wear Prudy''s old clothes, when Jennie had new ones and no big sister?
20699Was this the same boy who had tried to wash the piggy?
20699We''ll give them our tea and coffee, and we''ll drink-- what d''ye call it?
20699Well, if you scratch''em will they light a lamp?
20699What do you call that but ice?"
20699What had made them think he was going to heaven?
20699What had she said that was wrong?
20699What if I should give you my ring, made of all carrot gold, would you do it then?
20699What makes grandma let me go with her, do you s''pose?
20699What shall we do?"
20699What should they do?
20699What think of that?"
20699What was the use to be generous if people would n''t say"thank you?"
20699What were gold rings compared to ducklings?
20699What''s the use for you to be always getting into trouble?
20699What''s this smell?"
20699When I squeeze my lips together and do n''t say a word?"
20699Where does he travel to?
20699Where''s your gold ring, Jennie Vance?"
20699Who could have carried away those dear, dear little duckies?
20699Who could tell"if ever morn should rise?"
20699Who indeed?
20699Who is it?"
20699Who?"
20699Whose field was this?
20699Why does an elephant carry his trunk?"
20699Why, you know a great deal-- don''t you, Miss Polly?
20699Wo n''t you tell her to stop it?"
20699Would the four weeks never be gone?
20699You said I was a coward; and who''s a coward now?
20699[ Illustration:"MISS PATTY, ISN''T THIS THE LONGEST NIGHT YOU EVER SAW?"
20699and why had n''t somebody particularly warned her to attend to that door?
20699as much as twice; and did n''t you almost laugh out loud in the spelling class?
20699he added, a bright thought striking him;"you got a mop?"
20699is n''t there a barn anywhere in this great pasture?"
20699remarked Prudy;"how can we remember people to anybody, or forget them to anybody either?"
20699said Dotty, raising her little foot cautiously;"certain true?"
20699said Dotty;"who told you so?
20699said grandmamma, in dismay;"how came you in such a plight?
20699said she, aloud;"what is that rattling against the windows?"
20699to Augusta?"
20699to that man who was here yesterday?"
20699what can she have heard?"
20699what if Katie should wake up?"
20699whispered Katie;"is um so tired?"
20699why not?
39081Ah,said he to Leicester;"how do you do, sir, how do you do?
39081Ah,she said,"is this another proprietor of this very remarkable hotel?"
39081Ai n''t goin''to starve them folks, be you?
39081All right, grandma,said Leicester;"we''ll start to- morrow morning right after breakfast; will you go, too?"
39081And does n''t it ever fall down in the water?
39081And sell candy?
39081And you are the proprietor of this hotel?
39081Any of the live stock to go?
39081Anything the matter with that fire?
39081Are there ever any burglars or marauders around this neighborhood?
39081Are they willing to open the locks for you?
39081Are we going to stay on top?
39081At the same rates?
39081But tell us truly, granny, dear, why ca n''t we go away?
39081But you''re going away with your mother, next month, are n''t you?
39081But_ why_ is that its name?
39081Ca n''t we go and live somewhere else, grandmother?
39081Can any of you row?
39081Can you make a cherry pie?
39081Could you tell us, sir,said Leicester,"how we are going to get these trunks and things up to the hotel?"
39081Did they come? 39081 Did you really think we were crazy?"
39081Did_ you_ go to school to- day, my little man?
39081Do n''t you have to pay Mr. Lloyd for his advice?
39081Do you come up this way often?
39081Do you know how?
39081Do you like it, Tessie?
39081Do you propose to live in the whole house?
39081Do you put it on the floor, and all of us sit on the floor around it, like turkeys?
39081Do you suppose there are sheets and pillow- slips and things?
39081Do you suppose we walk on it?
39081Do you think she will be surprised at us?
39081Do you think they would come? 39081 Do you want it shut up again?
39081Do_ you_ think you could?
39081Excuse me,said the strange gentleman,"but can you tell me where I may find the clerk of this hotel?"
39081Fish much?
39081Has Mr. Lloyd found some one who wants to rent the hotel, and must we vacate at once?
39081How did she get out?
39081How did you ever do it in such a minute?
39081How do we get there?
39081How do you do?
39081How do you like the Dorrance Domain?
39081I wo n''t have to do that, will I?
39081I''d like to see Our Domain,said Leicester, thoughtfully;"what''s it like, grandmother?"
39081Im- porrtant, is it? 39081 Is that all you tried to do?"
39081It does n''t, does it, grandma?
39081It is n''t so bad as that, is it, grandma?
39081It must fade your carpets all out, does n''t it?
39081Jack Harris has just written me,he said,"and he wants to come up here and board for a month; what do you think?"
39081Like Jack Sprat''s pig?
39081Like it? 39081 Like the one in Fifty- eighth Street?"
39081Nice name? 39081 Now you''re teasing, grandma,"said Lilian;"truly, when can we go?"
39081Oh Dorothy, what_ do_ you suppose it will be like?
39081Oh, are these the doves? 39081 Oh, can you?"
39081Oh, come now, granny, we''re not so bad, are we?
39081Oh, dear, do you suppose the house is sold?
39081Oh, how can grandmother climb all those?
39081Oh, how did you know?
39081Oh, is n''t she? 39081 Oh, you mean landing- places on the stair- way?"
39081Oh,cried Dorothy,"do you know of anybody?
39081Oh,exclaimed Dorothy,"have you a parrot?"
39081Oh,_ ai n''t_ it purty?
39081Own it? 39081 Pickaninnies, are they?"
39081Print, pat or tub?
39081Shall we eat in the big dining- room?
39081Shall we really ask them to register, Dot?
39081That''s jist it, is it? 39081 That''s nice; and what did you learn?"
39081Then will you tell me where I can find the proprietor?
39081Up from the dock?
39081We could n''t stay always,said Fairy;"how would we go to school?"
39081We would have to have more servants,said Lilian;"and would n''t that cut down the profits a good deal?"
39081Well what is it, anyhow?
39081Well, anyhow? 39081 Well, my little man,"he said, smiling broadly at Leicester,"did you go to school to- day?"
39081Well, well, what''s the trouble?
39081Well, what_ can_ I do?
39081Well, what_ do_ you raise?
39081What about the laundry- work, Miss Dorothy?
39081What am I?
39081What can I do?
39081What could you do?
39081What do children like you know about such things? 39081 What do you carry in your pocket?"
39081What do you do with a table- top, if it does n''t have any legs?
39081What do you suppose it will be like?
39081What do you think, grandmother?
39081What have you undertaken?
39081What is it you want to do now?
39081What is it?
39081What is the matter, grannymother dear?
39081What shall we call it?
39081What''s Mr. Faulkner like?
39081What''s a motor- boat?
39081What''s the matter, baby?
39081What''s up?
39081What, carry them?
39081What_ is_ the matter?
39081When are they coming down?
39081When our house was last run as a hotel, did they buy their provisions from you?
39081Where did you catch it?
39081Where did you get them? 39081 Where did you learn all these things?
39081Where do you suppose the clerk can be?
39081Where is the place, grandmother?
39081Where would you get these boarders?
39081Who are your millionaire friends?
39081Who keeps it so nice?
39081Who would you sell them to?
39081Why ca n''t we?
39081Why do you suppose they could n''t make it pay as a hotel?
39081Why do you think you would like to have more?
39081Why does n''t she?
39081Why not the Domain?
39081Wo n''t you be seated?
39081Wo n''t you speak to me?
39081Would n''t it be better to sell that house, and invest the money in some other way?
39081Would n''t you like to come over and see the roof- garden?
39081Would you like to go for a little spin around the lake, now, all of you?
39081Would you mind telling us your reasons for wanting to do this thing?
39081Yes, I think so, but how could you earn any?
39081Yes, are n''t we?
39081Yes, he is nice,said Leicester;"and is n''t that jolly about the boats?
39081Yes, is n''t it perfectly wonderful?
39081Yes, it seems to be,said Mrs. Hickox;"but how did you get so poor all of a sudden?
39081Yes, miss,replied the grocer, staring in amazement at the four excited children;"what kind?"
39081Yes, miss; anything else?
39081Yes,said Dorothy, and then turning to the grocer, she said politely,"Have you any bread?"
39081You are fond of walking, then?
39081You consider yourself well acquainted now, do you?
39081_ Are n''t_ you glad we came? 39081 Ah, Miss Dorothy, is that you, thin? 39081 Ai n''t I a funny dirl?
39081An''wud yez be''s afther showin''me to me daughter?
39081And eggs,--do you have eggs?"
39081And is anybody going to build a fire in the kitchen?"
39081And now, Mrs. Faulkner, if you really think of coming, would n''t you like to select your rooms?"
39081And what are you goin''to do there?"
39081Are these your children, madam?"
39081Are they alive?
39081Are they here?
39081Are they stuffed?
39081Are they very big?"
39081Are you looking for board?"
39081Are you really coming to stay with us?
39081As she lay thinking about all this, one warm afternoon, she suddenly heard a voice say:"_ Is_ this a hotel, or is n''t it?"
39081Bob?"
39081Bob?"
39081But what do you mean by saying you can do the housework?
39081But who''d take care of the horse, and who''d drive grandma around?"
39081But, excuse me, my dear, are n''t you very young for these responsibilities?"
39081Can I wear my pink sash?"
39081Did I hear you say you''re going to get supper?
39081Do n''t you ever talk too much, ma''am?"
39081Do n''t you know this is my milk- room?
39081Do there be manny a- comin'', miss?"
39081Do you like to have it all musty and damp?
39081Do you run the whole shooting- match?"
39081Dorothy Dorrance, did your manners come with your Domain, or where did you get that highfalutin air of yours?"
39081Fairy, get the big atlas, will you?"
39081Has anybody been killed?"
39081Has your grandma unpacked her dress patterns yet?"
39081Have n''t got a horse, have you?"
39081Here, wait a minute, I''ll give you some gum- drops; then you''ll remember the glue, wo n''t you?"
39081Hickox?"
39081Hickox?"
39081How can I find out about them?"
39081How can we take care of it?"
39081How did it happen?"
39081How did ye come over?
39081How much money do we have a year?"
39081How_ do_ people get to it, Captain Kane?"
39081I guess your grandma''ll get up all right; but what about all your trunks and things?"
39081I say, Dot, give Jack that other tower room, right over mine, will you?
39081I say, take me in the house, and let me see that, will you?"
39081I would be glad to add to our income, and if you think you could be comfortable here, might we not try it for a week?"
39081I''d be delighted to leave this supper entirely in your hands; but are you sure that you can do everything satisfactorily?
39081If she could succeed with two, why not with four, or even six?
39081If two boarders are good, four boarders are twice as good; and so, what do you think of taking two more guests into our hotel?"
39081Ignoring Fairy and her voluble explanation, Miss Dillingham turned to Mrs. Dorrance, and inquired with dignity:"Are you the lady of the house?"
39081Is it all right?"
39081Is it boorders yez''ll be afther takin''?
39081Is it the thing that runs by electrics?"
39081Is it too far to walk?"
39081Is the place you''re goin''near the hotel?"
39081Is there more than one kind?"
39081Lilian, the practical, after one look at the great building, said excitedly,"Grandmother, where are the keys, quick?"
39081May I ask if you are looking for board?"
39081May I ask your rates, Miss Dorrance?"
39081May I help you unpin your veil?"
39081Now what do we need most?"
39081Now what have you been doing?"
39081Oh, Mrs. Faulkner, do you think we could do it?"
39081Oh, grannymother,_ are n''t_ you glad we came?"
39081Own the Dorrance place?"
39081Pray have you many boarders, and are they all as crazy as yourselves?"
39081Shall I send''em to you?"
39081Shall we all wear caps, and aprons with big white wings sticking out of the shoulders?"
39081Shall we go out rowing this evening, or wait till to- morrow?"
39081Tessie, me darlint, is it indade yersilf?"
39081That''s a nice name, is n''t it?"
39081The baby is asleep, and perhaps she wo n''t waken, but if she does, would Miss Lilian mind holding her for just a little while?
39081The twins chose a pair of rabbits, because they had never had any rabbits before, and as Leicester said,"What''s a Domain without rabbits?"
39081This suggestion silenced Fairy, and Leicester went on:"Do you really mean, Dot, that she proposed seriously to take charge of the Domain?"
39081To this gigantic specimen of femininity Dorothy advanced, and said pleasantly:"I suppose this is Kathleen?"
39081WHAT DO YOU THINK, FAIRY?"]
39081Walk?"
39081Was n''t ye wan yersilf wanst?
39081Were they your grandmother''s?
39081What are the doves?
39081What are their eyes made of?
39081What are their names?"
39081What do the rest of you say?"
39081What do you keep it so shut up for?
39081What do you raise in the garden?
39081What do you say, Leicester?"
39081What do you suppose the house is like?"
39081What do you think, Fairy?"
39081What does etherkle mean?
39081What is the matter?
39081What''s the matter with your hotel, that you ca n''t stay in it?"
39081What''s the use of three sisters if they ca n''t get a fellow some supper?"
39081What''s up now?"
39081When can we go, grandmother?"
39081When would you like to come?"
39081Where are my rolls, Tessie?"
39081Where do you live?"
39081Where might it be?"
39081Where''s the kindling- wood?"
39081Who are they?"
39081Who registered last, Leicester?"
39081Why do n''t you call it the butter- room or the pie- room?"
39081Why do n''t you sit in some of the smaller rooms?"
39081Why musht ye always come so shlam- bang?"
39081Will you be here till Saturday?"
39081Will you dress the salad, Kathleen?"
39081Would n''t it be awful if we were really guests instead of purporietors?"
39081Would you like to look at our rooms, madam?
39081You can broil chickens, of course?"
39081You do n''t know my wife, do you?"
39081You have n''t had much experience in cooking, have you, Tessie?"
39081You know what I can do,--you know the house, and all,--do you think, if I could get them, I could take two or three more boarders?"
39081You must n''t do a single thing extra for us, will you?"
39081You sewed it on again, did n''t you?
39081Yours?"
39081and how do you cut the grass, and how do you water the flowers?
39081and what is tercumerary?
39081asked Fairy;"or does n''t the mud wash off, or do n''t people fall off of it and get drownded?
39081asked Fairy;"or must we go down again?"
39081asked Leicester,"and when do they arrive?"
39081asked Leicester;"are n''t these satin sofas good enough for you?"
39081asked Leicester;"will he say,''well, my little man,''to me?"
39081cried Dorothy,"guess,--which way do you guess?"
39081exclaimed the three girls at once, jumping up, and running towards the lake;"where did she fall in?
39081for the land sake what did you do that for?
39081peas and beans?
39081she cried;"is the house on fire?
39081she exclaimed,"have you come traipsing over here a''ready?
34335A month?
34335A year?
34335All your lives?
34335And did you tell the master?
34335And how came it there?
34335And where is your overjacket?
34335Any bad news?
34335Are you scared of ghosts?
34335But you ca n''t go,--can you?
34335Ca n''t you tell what it seemed most like?
34335Can you see it?
34335Did it have any wings?
34335Did n''t I see you walking in the lane with Tom Cush yesterday?
34335Did n''t I tell you it had n''t any feet or legs to go with?
34335Do you see that little boy?
34335Do you think they''d hurt a fellow?
34335Does he draw?
34335Got well?
34335Gruel is very nourishing, well made,said Grandmother;"but what will Mr. Fry say?"
34335Guess nobody would n''t let ye?
34335Had n''t you better keep those?
34335How big was it?
34335How came you there so late?
34335How far off do you suppose they can see a fellow?
34335How fares ye?
34335Is n''t he pretty young to go away to school?
34335Is this anybody''s cookie- pan?
34335Letters from Billy? 34335 Nor the boys?"
34335Now did anybody ever hear the like?
34335Now what''s the use,said Aunt Phebe,"for folks to cry before they''re hurt?"
34335Of what?
34335Pray what is this?
34335Ruining the boy with kindness?
34335Rumination? 34335 Sha''n''t I do that?"
34335Then how could it go?
34335Two weeks?
34335Well, now, how long can you remember them?
34335Well,Old Wonder Boy said,"how did you get them home?"
34335Well,said Uncle Jacob,"if a boy does n''t know enough to go into the house when it rains, he better come home?"
34335What are these?
34335What are you going to do with my flyflapper?
34335What does''Flying Billy''mean?
34335What is it?
34335What you waiting for?
34335What''s that?
34335Where is it now?
34335Where you going to keep on to?
34335Who?
34335Why did n''t you have some fried eggs?
34335Why not?
34335Why, there''s Towser, now?
34335Why,said Frankie,"do n''t you know the_ publicans_?
34335Wo n''t he want them?
34335You see what he''s got his head on do n''t you?
34335& c. Enter OLD WOMAN.__ Old Woman( speaking in rather high key)._ Do you keep stockings?
34335(_ Lays down pen._)_ Enter ragged BOY, with covered basket.__ Lady._ Have_ you_ found a dog?
34335(_ Speaking to Lady._) Goin''to give six dollars a yard for that?
34335*****_ A Note from Uncle Jacob._ HOW ARE YOU, YOUNG MAN?
34335*****_ Grandmother''s Second Letter._ MY DEAR BOY,-- Do you have clothes enough on your bed?
34335And does Benjie go, and little Bubby Short?
34335And held out his hand--"How are you, Sweet William?"
34335And she said,"Were you sent of an errand here?"
34335And sometimes boys would turn round, and laugh, and holler out,"How are_ you_, teakettle?"
34335And the question we had last was,"Which is the best, Summer or Winter?"
34335And then Dorry called out to him,"How are you, hay- pole?"
34335And then says Aunt Phebe,"What in the world are you doing to your grandmother?
34335And there I sat all bent over with my hands up to my ears, and thought, O, what would become of me if the old house should go?
34335And what should he cry for?
34335And when he''s walking along home and back, and evenings, ca n''t he out with''em and be thinking''em over?"
34335And your boy is, is n''t he?"
34335Are they?
34335Arms?
34335Asked Tommy if he would like to bear the tune the mermaids sang?
34335At first it seemed impossible for me to do anything of the kind;"for,"said I,"how can any one edit who is not an editor?
34335At last Dorry said, just as softly,"Ca n''t you find him anywhere?"
34335Bears?
34335Bubby Short said;"she ca n''t be happy without she''s good, can she?"
34335Bubby Short says he''s sure he''s glad, for if a feller could n''t have fun what would he do?
34335But I guess he''s funning, do you?
34335But how can such a great man like a small boy?
34335But then, what''s a boy''s memory?
34335But, Mike where''s the notice of our darling''s being lost?
34335Ca n''t ye carl agin?"
34335Ca n''t you tell things about me to William Henry and the others, for it is very hard to me to write a letter?
34335Can we sell you anything to- day?
34335Can we sell you anything to- day?
34335D."been dining there, or what is the matter, that about every"l"in your letter comes double?
34335Did grandmother tell you about the Fortune Tellers?
34335Did my father tell you all about that letter that Tom Cush wrote to Dorry?
34335Did n''t you feel homesick any when you were coming away from school?
34335Did you ever hear of anybody being so old?
34335Did you ever see a ghost?
34335Did you ever see any live fences?
34335Did you get into all that shaded pink?"
34335Did you think a grandmother would be sorry about a little bird as that?
34335Do n''t Benjie want to come?
34335Do n''t shopkeepers have the most money of all kinds of men?
34335Do n''t you know how they twinkle when he''s tickled?
34335Do n''t you know that one I wrote about, that kicked and did n''t pay, and that would n''t help water the course?
34335Do n''t you like it, Charley?
34335Do n''t you remember that time I had my head shaved off close, and how it looked like an orange?
34335Do n''t you think I had a pretty good time?
34335Do the Two Betseys keep shop there now?
34335Do you believe it?
34335Do you believe they can whistle?
34335Do you know who''t is writing?
34335Do you learn any lessons at school?
34335Do you mean to do anything or be anything now or ever?
34335Do you see what I mean?
34335Do you suppose they know anything?
34335Do you take bitter medicine?
34335Do you think my father would let me be the boy that sells papers in the cars?
34335Do you think we grown- up women, we jolly, busy women, never shed tears?
34335Does William Henry go to school there now?
34335Does that seem queer to you?
34335Does your grandma think that''t is going to be a fever?
34335Dorry asked him,"How did it look?"
34335Dorry said,"She?
34335Everybody that comes in she says,"Should you like to see the map my little grandson made,--my little Billy?"
34335Father, ca n''t you introduce your friend?"
34335Fences that branch out, and have leaves grow on them?
34335Go into a store?
34335Grey?"
34335Gus Beals-- he''s the great tall one we call"Mr. Augustus"--he called out,"How are you, red- top?"
34335Has father sold the bossy calf yet?
34335Has your pullet begun to lay yet?
34335Have you anything new?
34335Have you seen him?
34335Have your flowers bloomed out yet?
34335He calls me Dordie, I guess I rather have kitty alive than let her be drowned, do n''t you?
34335He out with his jack- knife, and cut the strings, and took out-- have you guessed yet?
34335He said to Dorry:"It is true, then, that my boy would n''t own up to his own actions?"
34335He then said to me, in a very earnest tone,"Mr. Fwy, now will another birdie grow up there?"
34335Here''s a conundrum Dorry Baker made: In a race, why would the singing- master win?
34335How are all the fellers?
34335How can anybody tell when anybody is sick enough to take things?
34335How do you do, sir?
34335How do you like mother''s picture?
34335How do you like this story?
34335How do you like your teacher?
34335How do you suppose they move round?
34335How does my sister do?
34335How long''ll you be in port?"
34335How many presents did you have?
34335How would you like to sit still all the evening?
34335I began to grow red as fire, but all of a sudden I thought, Now, Billy, what''s the use?
34335I guess a red- header blushes up redder than any other kind; do n''t you?
34335I mean remember the beginning after all the other has been piled top of it?
34335I suppose all the boys hate me, do n''t they?
34335I suppose you will say,--what are you feeling so sober about?
34335I think I''m big enough, do n''t you, for bosom shirts?
34335I whittled a great sliver off the base- ball field fence to fetch away; did n''t we use to have good times there?
34335I wonder what makes everybody think boys want to be drowned?
34335I''d just as lives have fifty, and that would come better in the letter, do n''t you believe it would?
34335If they do n''t agree, shall I take the pills or the drops?
34335If you did n''t, who did?"
34335If you was me would you swap off your white- handled jack- knife your father bought you for a four- blader?
34335In his own handwriting?
34335In our quarrels, when there was nothing else left to say, they would call out,--leaving off the Silas,--"Y Fry?
34335Is Gapper Skyblue alive now?
34335Is he living?
34335Is n''t it funny that clams live in the mud?
34335Is n''t it funny that when you are sleepy your eyes keep shutting up and your mouth keeps coming open?
34335Is n''t she a beauty?"
34335Is n''t there a pond near by?"
34335Is the world afire in the middle?
34335Keep your pretty blue boots nice for Brother Billy to see, wo n''t you?
34335Lost?
34335May I go?
34335Mulligan._ An''is it yourself lost a dog, thin?
34335Mulligan._ Faith, an''whose dog should it be, thin?
34335Nothing like being among friends when you''re in trouble?"
34335Now I want to know if a feller can remember all that?
34335Now are n''t you glad you did n''t feel sorry?
34335Now do n''t you know?
34335Now what do you think about it?
34335Now what do you think we made them out of?
34335Now where do you suppose the party is to be?
34335Now who do you think was there?
34335Now, if''t is right inside, why ca n''t it come out right?
34335Now, maybe you''ll say,"But, Billy, Billy, where are you going to get all these fine things?"
34335O, I never did see anything scream so loud as girls can when they''re scared?
34335O, ca n''t you take the horrid animal away?
34335O, dear, lovely one, where are you now?
34335Old Wonder Boy peeped in and says he,"O, there''s quite some jelly in there, is n''t there?"
34335Or was it the hot flannels,--and how many?
34335P. S. Do you think my father would let me go to sea?
34335P. S. What are you fellers playing now?
34335P. S. Will you please send back the picture of that creature we sent you once?
34335Paulina?"
34335Reads the riddle clear to you?
34335Said he wished I''d pull, then he was going to pull too, and would n''t that been a funny way to make up, pulling hair?
34335Say, now, you Dorry, do n''t get too knowing to write to a feller?
34335Says Bubby Short,"Do you believe that''s the honeymoon?"
34335Says I,"Are you scared to whistle?"
34335Send a feller a letter once in a while, ca n''t ye?
34335Shall I get them tapped, or get a new pair, or throw them away, or else keep the legs to make new boots of?
34335Shall I relate how this sweet flower of promise was nipped in the bud?
34335She gave us a dollar to spend; was n''t she clever?
34335Should you care if I brought home Dorry to make a visit?
34335Should you like to hear about our going to take a great big sleigh- ride?
34335Should you think they would?
34335So what could I do but go?
34335So, please, need I say, No, I thank you, ma''am, to''em when they come round?
34335Some men that we met would laugh and call out,"What''ll you take for your span?"
34335Some of us have paid a quarter apiece to get a football, and should n''t you think''t was real mean for anybody to back out, and then come to kick?
34335Then I clapped my hand on his shoulder,"Old Dorrymas, how are you?"
34335Then Tom''s father got up from his chair and said,"Lost?
34335Then he pulled me along, and kept saying,"Who did, if you did n''t?
34335Then he said to me, whispering,"Is this so, William?"
34335Then the emperor asked,"Now will you believe that my religion is right?"
34335Then the trouble was, who should be the minister?
34335Tom''s father said,"And he was willing to sit still and see another boy whipped in his place?"
34335Twenty- five yards?
34335Uncle Jacob wants to know what you were both so cross about?
34335Was it to eat roast onions?
34335Was n''t he a nice little fellow to tell?
34335We three went down to The Two Betseys''Shop with him, and when he saw it, he said,"Why, is that the same old shop?
34335What are all these kinds of strings for?"
34335What are you laying out to make of yourself?
34335What are you lugging off so fast?"
34335What can they be doing?
34335What do boys know?
34335What do companions do?
34335What do we do, and what do we talk about?
34335What have a feller''s ears to do with singing, or with scaling up and down?
34335What shall we do evenings?
34335What should you, if you did n''go to college?
34335What''s a rumination?"
34335What''s the use of that?
34335When I was coming away they said,"Where''s Dorry?
34335When are you coming?
34335When he turned his head round again, says he:"Billy, I''m sick, and what shall I do?"
34335When shall I begin to wear my new shoes every day?
34335When she meets us she smiles and says,"How do you do, William Henry?"
34335When the rain beats against the windows, I think,"Now who will see that he stands at the fire and dries himself?"
34335When you come down you walk up to the lady of the house and say"How do you do?"
34335Where did you find him?
34335Where is he now?
34335Where is he?
34335Where''s Tommy?"
34335Where''s little Tommy?"
34335While I was trying to, I heard a little noise, I looked round, and-- what do you think?
34335Why did n''t you tell me I had a red head?
34335Why do roosters crow in the morning?
34335Would n''t you be a shopkeeper when I grow up?
34335You can remember three words, ca n''t you?"
34335You know our cow that was named Reddie, the one we raised up from a bossy- calf with milk- porridge till''t was big enough to eat grass?
34335You know your pie- plates?
34335[ Illustration] How do you like this picture of that great Mego-- I wo n''t try to spell him again-- eating off the tree- tops?

35281''What ails you, friend?'' 35281 ''What have you there in the box?''

35281''Will you make candlesticks?'' 35281 ''_ Will_ you?''
35281A bushel of shavings, eh? 35281 A monk?"
35281Adored Miss Bullfrog, is it possible that you have changed your mind, and decided to listen to my suit?
35281Ah, Coon,she added reproachfully,"how could you hurt the poor fellow so?
35281And I am to do the whistling?
35281And did they stay together after that?
35281And do you know the difference between right and wrong?
35281And what is the Golden- breasted Kootoo?
35281And what''s jam? 35281 And who is this with you?"

35281Back again already? 35281 Biting his nose off?"
35281But how did you get down here in the first place?
35281But suppose he should mistake you for his dinner, and eat you up?
35281But what became of the first boy after he fell?

35281Did I understand,said the woodchuck cautiously,"that the bogghun_ never_ takes his tail out of his mouth?"
35281Did n''t you hear her say so? 35281 Did you hear any more like it?
35281Did you make up that story, Toto?
35281Do n''t you call them hives? 35281 Do n''t you know which your right foot is?"
35281Do you slink away like beaten hounds because, forsooth, the good beast shakes off a fly, or lashes out his heels in playful sport? 35281 Do you want to lose your ten pounds and your head too?
35281Does he like to receive visitors?
35281Five minutes for refreshments between the two, did you say? 35281 Freckled face?"
35281Gingerbread?
35281Give up the tournament? 35281 Going, before we have thanked you?
35281Have you ever been over there?
35281Have you found a way of teaching me to sing?
35281He_ had_ red hair and a freckled face; but how should you two know anything about him?
35281How came he to take to the show business?
35281How do you do that, Toto?
35281How do you do, Woodchuck?
35281How many ears has she?
35281How_ can_ you stop there? 35281 I do n''t know him, do I?"
35281I wonder how you would like to be pinched up in an abominable, ill- fitting thing like this? 35281 I''m afraid of Coon, am I?
35281Is any one with you, Toto?
35281Is it?
35281Is this one of your own stories that you are going to tell us, Pigeon Pretty?
35281It was very pretty,he said;"why did it want me to marry my grandmother?"
35281May I be permitted to ask a question, Miss Mary?
35281May I speak?
35281My dear boy, what friend have you in the world except your old Granny? 35281 My dear son, are you mad?
35281Once upon a time there was a boy--"What was his name?
35281One or two hives?
35281Please, grandmother,said Toto,"which_ is_ the wrong foot?"
35281Pretty sight, is n''t it, Toto?
35281Really?
35281Red hair?
35281See that I have cards to the Mud Turtle''s wedding, will you? 35281 See that young white rabbit with the black nose and tail?
35281Shall I bring the can in? 35281 Something like honey, is n''t it, only entirely different?
35281That does seem to be a difficulty, does n''t it? 35281 The Princess''s_ what_?"
35281The hippopotamouse?
35281Then Shaw was not the showman?
35281Then how,asked Chucky,"did he eat the molasses candy?"
35281Then why, in the name of common- sense,said the traveller,"do n''t you go_ up_ in the bucket?"
35281They do n''t sleep with their legs, do they, stupid?
35281To fish in a well?
35281Toto, do you hear me?
35281Toto,she said,"were we not promised two stories to- day?
35281Well, Bruin, how do you like jam?
35281Well, Toto,replied the raccoon complacently,"my view of the matter is this: what is the use of having beauty if you do n''t admire it?
35281Well, what do you all say? 35281 Well,"he said breathlessly,"is it all arranged?
35281Well,he said,"what do you want?
35281Well?
35281Well?
35281What are radishes?
35281What are you two quarrelling about?
35281What can have become of the boy?
35281What did happen to him? 35281 What did they do that for?"
35281What do people fish for in this country? 35281 What do you mean by that, Chief Musician?"
35281What do you mean?
35281What do you say, Cracker?
35281What does this mean?
35281What have you been doing to Chucky, you naughty Coon?
35281What have you done with him?
35281What is a hermit?
35281What is a rinktum?
35281What is it, Woodchuck?
35281What is it?
35281What is it?
35281What is it?
35281What mean you, lady?
35281What shall I do, then?
35281What was your cousin''s name?
35281What will you give me for myself?
35281What''s all this?
35281What''s gingerbread?
35281What''s up?
35281What, for instance, is the matter?
35281What_ can_ you do? 35281 What_ do_ you mean, Cracker?"
35281What_ does_ that mean?
35281What_ is_ that brown rabbit doing?
35281When was that?
35281Where are you going, Pigeon Pretty?
35281Where is he to be found? 35281 Where is your trotter?"
35281Where should he be,said the cook,"but at the bottom of the well, where you left him?"
35281Who is he? 35281 Who is your Uncle Munkle?"
35281Who''s to tell the story next time?
35281Who?
35281Whom did he pay it to?
35281Why did n''t you eat him, stupid?
35281Why do n''t you both come and live in the wood? 35281 Why do you live down here?"
35281Why does he live there?
35281Why,he thought,--"why should not my friends be Granny''s friends too?
35281Will you all come to- morrow? 35281 Will you marry me, and be Princess of the Poles?"
35281Would it not be possible to make an exception in this case?
35281Would you like to dance?
35281You are the trotter, eh?
35281_ Did_ you say five minutes for refreshments, Toto, or did I misunderstand you?
35281_ She?_said Cracker inquiringly, looking at Coon.
35281''Do you know what a bell- punch is?''
35281''Have n''t you any marbles?
35281''What do you mean by that?''
35281''What will happen then?''
35281''Where Afric''s sunny fountains,''you know,''roll down their golden sands,''--is that really true?"
35281''Why do you sit moping here in the house, when all the boys are out?
35281''Will you have one to put in your pocket?''
35281*****"Is that all?"
35281A-- where was I?"
35281Among the gallant knights, who so ready for the tournament as our bold Baron?
35281And now,"continued the good bear,"how is my dear boy?
35281And our wood is scraggy, is it?
35281And the Band desires his respects, and would you wish him to play while you are a- dressing, being as you did n''t bring a music- box with you?"
35281And when the grandmother had heard all about it, what did she do?
35281Are you ill?"
35281Bruin?"
35281Bruin?"
35281But how was the Princess''s nose- ring the cause of your misfortunes?
35281But what does the mighty Dragon want, for example?''
35281Butterflies?"
35281By the way, Bruin, you are not an enchanted prince, are you?
35281Can I not persuade you to try the effect?"
35281Can you tell me anything about Toto?
35281Come, my friends, what do you say?"
35281Coon?"
35281Cracker?"
35281Did n''t you, Polly?"
35281Did the boy look as nice as his sister?
35281Difficulty?
35281Do you not know how to teach?"
35281Do you think I am pretty?"
35281Do you understand?"
35281Do you want them?"
35281Does-- a-- does your grandmother scratch?"
35281Eat him?"
35281Going off without a word, after saving my life?
35281Grandmother, is there any gingerbread in the house?
35281Had the bird flown?
35281Has n''t it been a lovely rain, and are n''t you glad it is over?"
35281Have n''t you ever had any more?"
35281Have you anything more?
35281Have you ever tried it, ma''am?
35281He paid us one visit several years ago, and that was enough for him, eh, Bruin?"
35281Here I find society and snails, both of excellent quality; and, with these, what more does one require?
35281How is Africa bounded, old fellow?
35281How is it that I have never seen him?"
35281How many times do you generally say it in the course of the day?''
35281How''s your grandmother?"
35281I have a bone somewhere about me now,"said poor Bruin hesitatingly,"but I do n''t suppose she-- eh?"
35281I see that your nose does not wiggle when you speak, so perhaps you can not eat, eh?"
35281I suppose you can do that?"
35281I suppose you expected me to give you all of them, did you?
35281In truth, it was a goodly sight to see the golden locks of the lady( for was she not known in all the country as Ermengarde of the Fair Tresses?)
35281Indeed, what better reason could he have?
35281Is n''t that it, Toto?"
35281Is there aught you_ can not_ do, Chamchamchamchamkickeryboo?''
35281Just fancy this, will you?
35281No offence, I trust?"
35281No?
35281Now may I go?
35281Now, how would you like to have those shavings turned into gold?"
35281Now, when will you come?
35281Oh, Granny, how_ could_ you make such horrid gingerbread?
35281Or shall the man take away your jacket?''
35281Presently he said in a timid growl,--"Excuse me, ma''am; do you make the gingerbread with those things?"
35281Queer, is n''t it?
35281ROBERTS BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS, BOSTON*****"Do you remember how you used to play''Pilgrim''s Progress''when you were little things?
35281Ride another horse than Berold?
35281Ride him tailless and unadorned?
35281She felt very anxious, very much troubled; but what could she do?
35281She tottered towards the door, and said in a tremulous voice,"Who is there?"
35281So I say, why should n''t you all come over to the cottage in the afternoon, and talk to Granny instead of talking here to each other?
35281So I waked Coon--""Waked Coon?"
35281So he went to a jockey--"What''s a jockey?"
35281Stand there and be rushed at by a thing that was neither horse nor man?
35281Suppose he should have encountered some fierce wild beast, unlike the friendly creatures with whom he played every day?
35281Suppose the boy should have wandered off into some distant part of the forest, and lost his way?
35281That was quite a piece of work, as you may imagine; but when they were finished, a new difficulty arose: how was he to get up on them?
35281The music was a trifle jerky at times; but what of that?
35281Tie the rustic tail of a plebeian cart- horse on Gray Berold?
35281To- morrow afternoon?
35281Was he too late?
35281Well, why_ do n''t_ you marry her?"
35281Were there many of them lying around?
35281What are fourteen miles, compared with two hundred and forty thousand?
35281What became of you after the Princess''s death?"
35281What can it be?
35281What did she say to you, eh?''
35281What did they say?
35281What do you mean by coming into our wood after dark, and then insulting me?
35281What does he look like?"
35281What else should it be?"
35281What is the matter?
35281What is the matter?"
35281What is your pleasure with me, and what might you happen to be?"
35281What kind of creatures make it?
35281What shall I do to the muskrat?
35281What was his name?"
35281What''s that?"
35281What''s the matter?"
35281What''s your business, Toto?"
35281When the man saw Hokey Pokey, he called out,--"''Who are you, and what do you bring to the mighty Dragon, lord of this castle?''
35281Where are the others?"
35281Where are you, boy?
35281Where does he live?"
35281Where is Coon?
35281Where_ can_ he be?"
35281Which will you have?''
35281Whose turn is it to- day?
35281Why ca n''t we all be jolly, as we usually are?
35281Why should I not bring them to see Granny, and let them talk to her?
35281Why will you not stay and spend the night with us?
35281Will that do?"
35281Will that woodchuck be quiet, or will he not?"
35281Will you be my bride, and reign with me as queen?
35281Will you come and try it?"
35281Will you kindly explain to him, dear madam?"
35281Will you let me down in the bucket?"
35281Would pitch or turpentine do as well, do you think?
35281Would they like me to whistle for them, do you think, Chucky?"
35281Would you like to hear one of them?"
35281You just purse your mouth up so, eh?
35281You said this morning it was a kind of vegetable, and now--""Stop quarrelling, and listen to the story, will you?"
35281You will excuse me?"
35281Yours, is n''t it, Cracker?"
35281[ Illustration:"''Who?''
35281[ Illustration:"Would you like to dance?"]
35281_ will_ you look at Cracker?
35281and is that a brook, that is tinkling so pleasantly?"
35281and what did_ he_ give for you?"
35281asked Hokey- Pokey;''and why do you weep, when you are surrounded by the most delightful things in the world?''
35281asked Toto,"and what did he do then?"
35281cried Toto eagerly,"excuse me for interrupting, Miss Mary; but_ are_ the sands really golden?
35281do you mean to say he was not working twice as hard as any of the others?"
35281he asked,--"Coon, or Cracker, or any of those fellows?"
35281inquired Toto;"and who is to have those nice berries?
35281now?''
35281replied the raccoon, rising and shaking himself,"should you like me to bite about two inches off your tail?
35281said Bruin appealingly,"he had no right to steal my honey; now had he?
35281said Toto;"admiring your beauty as usual, eh?"
35281said the Prince,"tell me, oh, tell me, are you really and truly a Rory- Bory?
35281said the raccoon softly,"do I understand that a long nose is considered a beauty in Africa?"
35281too many times?"
35281was that my master?
35281what will become of me?''
35281where are you going?"
35281whom have you there?''
35281you Chucky,"exclaimed Toto,"where are you going?"
35281you''d like to hear a story, would n''t you, Granny?"
41603''An''is there annythin''I can du for ye, to- day, King Michael?'' 41603 ''And what wud ye loike for a prisint, Eily?''
41603A shtory for the hidache?
41603A story, hey?
41603Almonds?
41603Am I not well worth looking at? 41603 And have they stars on their noses?
41603And how have you been in the habit of playing?
41603And so you chose this time for the wedding?
41603And what do they live on?
41603And what else did you do in the way of amusement?
41603And what is this tall black stuff that grows so thick all over it? 41603 And what is to be done with them?"
41603And where have ye been at all? 41603 And_ what_, if I may be so bold as to ask,"said Coon,"_ is_ a comet?"
41603Are their coats of black velvet?
41603Are ye_ quite_ sure that this is what you wish for most, Eileen? 41603 Are you not well, my dear Coon?"
41603BRUIN, what do you think? 41603 Bewitched?
41603But how am I to live, pray? 41603 But how came he to go to China?"
41603But tell me, knowest thou how it will fare with the Putter- on- of- Slippers? 41603 But then, if any of us were to lose our heads, we should be dead, should n''t we?"
41603But what for?
41603But where were the bees all the time?
41603But-- but,cried Mrs. O''Shaughnessy, utterly bewildered by her husband''s wild talk, and by the sight of the jewels,"what does it all mane?
41603Ca n''t you give us a little more of this precious information?
41603Change them, eh?
41603Come along, will you, Coon?
41603Coon,said Toto,"come and sleep on my bed, wo n''t you?
41603Could n''t you manage it, somehow?
41603Cracker, my boy,he said,"I do n''t quite like all this, do you know?
41603Dear Madam, do I_ ever_ mean anything,--anything unkind, at least?
41603Diamonds and pearls?
41603Did I?
41603Did he?
41603Did it?
41603Dig for roots?
41603Diminted?
41603Div ye see that?
41603Do it, now?
41603Do n''t you remember, Coon? 41603 Do n''t you think we might dry ourselves before that fire before we go down?"
41603Do you ever change your name, sir?
41603Do you ever put frogs in your broth?
41603Do you hear me, Coon? 41603 Do you remember that day, when a thunder- shower came up, and you crept into that hollow tree for shelter?
41603Do you remember the famous one we had in the autumn, a little while before we came here?
41603Do you think we can get through the crack?
41603Does n''t thee know me well enough?
41603Does not my father wear out two pairs of scrubbing- shoes in a month--"Scrubbing- shoes, Granny?
41603Eh? 41603 Fine old bird he must have been, eh?"
41603Full- up?
41603Good Toto, kind Toto, is he gone? 41603 Has our account of the wedding made you pine with envy, and wish yourself a mouse?"
41603Have they four legs?
41603Have you anything to say?
41603Have you ever had a calf taken to the moon? 41603 He''s so agrayable, ai n''t he, now?"
41603He?
41603How about the bogghun, Miss Mary?
41603How goes it with you? 41603 How is that, Toto; pretty, eh?"
41603How so?
41603How was yer Honor maning?
41603How wud she shwally''em, an''have''em in her mouth all the toime? 41603 How?"
41603Howld yer prate, ca n''t ye, an''the docthor waitin''? 41603 I did n''t mean to interrupt, but what_ are_ scrubbing- shoes?"
41603I do n''t see anything for it_ but_ to wring your neck, do you? 41603 I mean_ why_ are you travelling at all?"
41603I-- I-- I sum- summon thee, most Golden and Holy Dragon?
41603Is he gone?
41603Is it possible? 41603 Is it yersilf, Eily?"
41603Is it-- are they-- like other calves?
41603Is your leg better, to- day?
41603It was you, was it?
41603Knowest thou not that the penalty is four hundred lashes? 41603 Made out of your grandfather''s tail, did you say, Toto?"
41603May n''t we try it some day, Granny? 41603 Mean anything?"
41603Mrs. Speckle, Mrs. Spanish, Dame Clucket, where are you all? 41603 My son,"he said,"what is man''s life but a string of beads, which at one time or another must be broken?
41603Not if you sucked your paw?
41603Nothing serious, I trust?
41603Now, then, where are those greens?
41603Phwhat was that I h''ard the other day about the looky bargain yer father-- honest man!--made wid the one- eyed peddler from beyant Inniskeen?
41603Phwhat''s the matther, woman?
41603Pretty wedding, eh, Toto?
41603Shall we go home now, Scrabble?
41603Shall we go in, or send the crow first, to announce us?
41603Showed_ us_ the way?
41603Spirimint?
41603That explains his choice of a wife.--Walk, Toto, did you say? 41603 The cave, eh?"
41603Then why must n''t you speak to me?
41603Toto, dear,said his grandmother,"do you think our Bruin is really_ gone_, without saying a word of farewell to us?"
41603Was it you?
41603Water? 41603 We''ll be missin''the docthor this day, ma''m, wo n''t we?"
41603Well, Coon,said Bruin, in his deep bass voice,"what have you been doing all the afternoon?
41603Well, Eily,he said,"is it back so soon ye are?
41603Well, Eily,said the Green Man,"I suppose ye know who I am?"
41603Well, old fellow,said Toto,"you have done it now, have n''t you?
41603Well?
41603Were you ever so hungry as that, Bruin?
41603What IS the reason? 41603 What ails you, old fellow?"
41603What are we to do this evening? 41603 What can be expected,"said the raccoon loftily,"from a creature who eats hay?
41603What do I think?
41603What do they wind?
41603What do ye mane by that, I''m askin''ye?
41603What do you mean by looking at me in that way?
41603What do you mean?
41603What do you say, Bruin?
41603What else could she be? 41603 What has happened?"
41603What is dragoons?
41603What is it all about? 41603 What is it at all, Docthor alanna?
41603What is it, Molly?
41603What is the matter that you look so down in the beak?
41603What is the matter?
41603What is this?
41603What means this, boy?
41603What nonsense is this?
41603What of it?
41603What seekest thou,asked the leader,"in the court of the Holy Dragon?"
41603What seekest thou,they asked,"in the court of the Holy Dragon?"
41603What trouble did your son have with Coon?
41603What words are these?
41603What''s the matter with them? 41603 What''s_ what_?"
41603What?
41603What_ does_ it all amount to? 41603 When?"
41603Who art thou, and what monstrous burden is this thou carriest so lightly?
41603Who is your master?
41603Who knows but that they may be related?
41603Who lives in that hollow tree, now?
41603Whole ones, you know, rolled in a batter, just like dumplings?
41603Why are you hurrying so? 41603 Why did n''t you give the alarm,"he asked,"or drive off the mice yourself?
41603Why did you chase my pigeon?
41603Why do you look and speak so strangely, Yow- Lay; and where is my father?
41603Why was that?
41603Why, Coon,queried Toto,"what''s the trouble?"
41603Why, Cracker, ca n''t you understand?
41603Why, do n''t you know?
41603Why, what''s the matter? 41603 Why, where_ is_ Bruin?"
41603Will Docthor O''Shaughnessy be King av Ireland? 41603 Will he_ never_ call me?"
41603Would you be so very good as to tell me what you are travelling for?
41603Yarn, or a chain- pump like the one in the yard, or what?
41603You found it so once, did n''t you, Toto?
41603You have a companion, then? 41603 You would n''t have the heart to do that; for then how could I look at you, the delight of my life?
41603Your son Prick- ear? 41603 _ Buttons!_"said Dennis Macarthy;"what do ye mane by buttons?
41603_ King_, is it? 41603 _ Moving?_"said little brown Scrabble, in a tone of horror.
41603Again the little comet hesitated and demurred; but after all, he had already broken one rule, and why not another?
41603Altogether, it was a very pleasant place for two little mice to play in; and as they had it all to themselves, why should they not play?
41603Am I not right, Coon?"
41603An''how wud she get thim to shwally, an''the Countess in Dublin these three weeks, an''her jew''ls wid her?
41603An''these bits o''trash dhrop out o''the choild''s mouth, ye till me, ivery toime she shpakes?"
41603And Eily?
41603And how did this melancholy change come about, pray?"
41603And how do ye like yer gift?"
41603And how long, may I ask, have you been travelling hither and thither through space, without knowing or caring why?"
41603And the gossoon''ll open the dure, and--"''Phwhat''s yer arrind?''
41603And what does it all amount to?"
41603And what have you two been doing, pray, since dinner?"
41603And what shall the story be about?"
41603And what should she wish for?
41603And wo n''t she die av''em, av it''s that manny in her stumick?"
41603And''ow did yer''Ighness leave yer pa and ma?"
41603Are all cows as stupid as that?"
41603Are any bones broken?"
41603Are we to have anything to eat?"
41603Are you afraid, you great clumsy monster?"
41603Are you too proud to speak to your old friends?"
41603As for your calf, why should you be better off than other people?
41603At length--"Miss Mary,"said the raccoon aloud,"what was the color of your lamented husband?
41603At the same moment the door of the grandmother''s room was opened hurriedly, and the old lady cried, in a trembling voice,"What has happened?
41603Be good enough to hand me those nuts, Toto, will you?
41603Besides,"he added,"have you forgotten how you frightened this very hermit when he stole your honey, last year?"
41603Better still?
41603Bossy, are you there?"
41603But now the Emperor waxed wroth, and he said:--"''Are our clothes to be changed, or do we stand here all day in wetness because of this dog?
41603But what_ are_ you thinking about that for, now?
41603But why do you ask?"
41603But you would not have done it, would you, Bruin?
41603But, hark?
41603But, tell me,"he added,"have you never thought of trying our way of passing the winter?
41603But-- what is that great black thing in front of the fire?"
41603Comet Master, eh?
41603Could it possibly be true?
41603Could n''t you dig for roots?"
41603Cracker, my dear, is it not your turn?"
41603D''ye hear me, now?"
41603Did he hear anything?
41603Did that one''s eyelids quiver; did his mouth twitch, as if he were waking from his sleep?
41603Do n''t you think so, Toto?"
41603Do ye think I''m obleeged to shpake the thruth ivery day in the week to an ignor''nt crathur like yersilf?
41603Do you see a track anywhere?
41603Do you think I can dig with that?"
41603Do you think he is dead, Crow?
41603Do you think-- would it be possible-- would you advise me to-- to-- in fact, to shave the hair off my face?"
41603Do you understand?"
41603Dost thou hear me?"
41603Eh, Bruin?"
41603Eh, what do you think?"
41603Eh?
41603Eh?
41603Eily was rather abashed at this, but the little man looked very kind; so she plucked up her courage, and when he asked,"What is yer name, my dear?"
41603Fixing her deep radiant eyes on them, she would reply with thrilling earnestness,"_ Has_ your grandmother sold her mangle yet?"
41603For we do love you; do n''t we, Bruin?"
41603Harshly on her reverie broke in the voice of Mrs. O''Shaughnessy, asking,--"And has yer father sold his pigs yit?"
41603Has the choild swallied''em?
41603Have you ever seen him like this before?"
41603Have you ever_ tried_ sucking your paw?"
41603Have you had a pleasant nap?"
41603Have you_ any_ proper food, at all?"
41603He has n''t been in our part of the wood again, has he?"
41603He stirred and tasted, shook his head, tasted again, and then said,--"You have n''t the top of a young pine- tree anywhere about the house, I suppose?
41603How are you all at home?"
41603How can she shpake buttons, I''m askin''ye?
41603How could she join in the sports and dances of the noble youths and maidens of the court?
41603How could you frighten us so?"
41603How does it happen that you are prowling about at this season?"
41603How does that go, old fellow?"
41603How does the poor old man get his food?"
41603How is anybody who sees you for the first time to know that you are the best and dearest old fellow in the world?
41603I do n''t mean that they moo_ low_, but''moo''_ is_''low,''do n''t you see?"
41603I mean, what do you think I heard at the party, last night?"
41603I suppose that is why the game is called back- gammon, hey?"
41603I suppose there is plenty of room in the forest for another family of mice?"
41603I_ must_, do you hear?"
41603If one made oneself_ very_ small, now?
41603If that thing is not alive, why did it jump off its seat just at the critical moment, and pour hot water over the robber''s legs?"
41603Is he a very shy boy?"
41603Is it a story evening, or dancing- school and games?"
41603Is it a witch has overlooked her, or what is it?
41603Is it true,"he added, turning to Toto,"that he has never left that place, that sty, since he was born?"
41603Is she kilt, or what''s the matther?"
41603Is that it?"
41603Is there no way ye cud cure her, an''lave her at home thin, Docthor?
41603It is n''t true, you know, but what of that?
41603It was a long- drawn sound, something between a snort, a squeal, and a snore; and it came from-- where_ did_ it come from?
41603It was quite dark, but his eye caught the faint glimmer of the boy''s white robe, and seizing his pike, he exclaimed,--"Who goes there?"
41603May I ask for what purpose you keep chickens, sir?"
41603May it please you to enter, worshipful sirs?"
41603My good Bruin, you will cover the fire, and lock up the house?"
41603Now do you understand?"
41603Now, I suppose they are relatives of yours, eh?"
41603Now, phwhat I want to know is, where did ye get thim?"
41603Phwhat ails the choild?"
41603Pick up the kettle, will you, Coon?
41603Putting your tail in curl- papers, eh?"
41603Shall the wise man disquiet himself whether more or fewer beads have passed over the hand?"
41603Shall we climb over it, or go round it?"
41603Shall we travel together?
41603Snowing fast outside, is is n''t it, Bruin?"
41603So he set the coal on the table, and said:--"Pretty little black and red bird, tell me, what shall I do?"
41603So, will you not tell us a story?
41603Some one was to be killed, then?
41603Surely he came in with you, Toto?"
41603Surely there is a smell of water?
41603That takes you out, does n''t it?"
41603The Master would cut you up into inch pieces if you asked him, and the Sun--""Well, what about the Sun?"
41603The first was,--"What is the price of butter?"
41603The goose that laid eggs of gold?
41603The invisible cloak?
41603The magic carpet?
41603The second,"Has your grandmother sold her mangle yet?"
41603There is nothing else to eat in the cupboard, is there?
41603There was a pause, in which the delinquent Cracker found nothing to say, and then his uncle added:--"And in what condition are your teeth, pray?
41603Toto, is my neck- tie straight?"
41603Waking suddenly from her nap, had she failed to see the girl, who had perhaps been sleeping, too?
41603Was it accident, or did the kettle by design give a plunge, and come down with a crash, sending a stream of boiling water over his legs?
41603Was it my fault that the mended leg was a hair- breadth shorter than the others?
41603Was that a movement of yon other man''s arm, as if he were stealthily preparing to rise, to spring upon the sacrilegious robber?
41603Was the breathing of the four priests changing a little,--growing deeper, growing louder?
41603Was this the result of the fairy''s gift?
41603We could n''t wake her if we tried, and why should we try?"
41603What are your ears for, if not for me to tickle?
41603What did Dr. O''Shaughnessy see?
41603What did he see?
41603What did he want?
41603What good does it do?
41603What happened?
41603What has happened?
41603What have I done?
41603What is it?
41603What is it?"
41603What more?"
41603What put such an idea into your head?"
41603What shall we do?"
41603Where are the Madam and Toto?
41603Where are you, Jim Crow?
41603Where did Toto get them, do you think?"
41603Where have ye been, I''m askin''ye?"
41603Where is it to take place?"
41603Who are you, I say?''
41603Who can tell?
41603Who ever heard of calves in the moon?
41603Who is hurt?
41603Who is this comes creeping, while honest men are sleeping?"
41603Who knocked down the kettle?
41603Who would light her father''s pipe, and sing him the little song he always liked to hear while he smoked it after supper?
41603Who wud do ye sich an ill turn as this, whin ye niver harmed annybody since the day ye were born?"
41603Whom did you play with, for example?"
41603Why are you rumpling and humping yourself up in that absurd fashion?"
41603Why did n''t you come too, Miss Mary?
41603Why did n''t you want Madam to know?"
41603Why do n''t they tell it to me?"
41603Why does he not come in, and let me thank him also for his kindness?"
41603Why does n''t she live in the house, with the rest of us?"
41603Why wo n''t you come out and see us, some day?"
41603Will I shtop him?
41603Will I till ye a little shtory that me grandmother he d for the hidache?"
41603Will ye make a tay av it, Docthor, or is it a poultuss ye''ll be puttin''an her, to dhraw out the witchcraft, loike?"
41603Will you do this?"
41603Will you-- ah!--hum-- will you sit down?"
41603With a royal air, and in clear and ringing tones, the princess repeated,--"_ Has_ your grandmother sold her mangle yet?"
41603Wo n''t she, Bruin?"
41603Would your grandmother, possibly-- eh?
41603You are not really vexed with old Bruin?"
41603You do n''t want them_ all_, surely?"
41603You know that your father is slightly deaf?
41603You never knew one of_ us_ to behave in that sort of way, did you, now?"
41603You never were anything but a boy, were you?"
41603You remember old Baldhead?"
41603You see that oak- stump yonder, with the moss on it?
41603You will be a companion for my crow-- By the way, where is my crow?
41603_ Did_ you say he was gone?"
41603_ Why_ do we travel for weeks and months and years?
41603_ Why_ must n''t you?"
41603_ do_ you remember that day, my boy?"
41603and--"Is it thrue that yer mother makes all her butther out av skim- milk just by making the sign of the cross-- God bless it!--over the churn?"
41603are you here?"
41603before you go to sleep, please--_please_, tell me if people ever take calves to the moon from here?"
41603but-- a-- have you ever tried digging for roots in the ground-- with your beak-- I mean, nose?"
41603care to come?"
41603cried Eileen,"what for wud I be sorry?
41603cried Mrs. Macarthy;"phwhat''s that?"
41603cried Toto, indignantly,"who said you were ugly?
41603cried the parrot, eagerly,"is he gone?"
41603cried the raccoon,"will you not?
41603d''ye hear me, now?"
41603exclaimed the grandmother;"why, who can have taken it?"
41603have you anything to say for yourself, before I wring your neck?"
41603he added,"and what is going on in your set?"
41603he cried in his fresh, cheery voice,"how are you to- day, sir?
41603he exclaimed,"you hawk, what do you mean by that?
41603inquired the cow, timidly,"or a different sort of animal?"
41603is it possible?"
41603is it too late to have another story?
41603repeated the bear,"before I wring your ugly neck?"
41603repeated the fairy,"what diamonds and pearls?
41603said Mother Brindle,"can it really be milking- time?
41603said the chief priest in great agitation,"what is your errand?"
41603said the chief priest,"by what right or by whose order comest thou here, to the Sacred Shrine of the Holy Dragon?"
41603said the squirrel, who had been gazing up into the sky,"what''s that?"
41603she cried,"did you put that custard pie out in the snow to cool?
41603shrieked the priest,"_ what_ did you see?"
41603tell me that, will you?
41603thinkest thou that aught would be amiss if I were to take just one peep at the Celestial Footstool?
41603was his wife mistaken?
41603was it you?"
41603was that a whisper of prayer, or was it-- could it be-- the faintest suspicion of a snore?
41603what could it be?
41603what do ye think?
41603what do you think?
41603what else could it be?
41603what is that?"
41603what is that?"
41603what is this paper package which smells so divinely, sending a warm, spicy, pungent fragrance through the air?
41603what shall I do?
41603what was that noise?"
41603what was that sound?
41603what will I do now at all?
41603what wud I have first?
41603what''ll I do at all?
41603what''ll I do?
41603what''s that?
41603what''s that?"
41603what_ do_ you think?"
41603where are you?"
41603where did it come from?
41603who is this?"
41603who--_what_ is that speaking?"
41603will I lose ye this- a- way?
41603will ye hear um?"
41603will you, though?"
41603wudn''t it be beautiful, entirely?"
20963''A guinea, two guineas?'' 20963 ''An inn?''
20963''And is that all your luggage?'' 20963 ''And oh, Mary, what about the noise?
20963''Are you going away, grandmother?'' 20963 ''Are you rested?''
20963''Are you sure everybody''s been asked?'' 20963 ''Asleep?''
20963''Berkeley,''he said gravely,''have you forgotten what I said to you two or three days ago?'' 20963 ''Berkeley,''he said, in his nervous, jerky fashion,''that is not the_ proper_ way from your schoolroom to chapel, is it?''
20963''Berkeley,''it said,''you are Berkeley of the 300th, are n''t you? 20963 ''But how could I go?''
20963''But how did you find out where he had been?'' 20963 ''But suppose it is a_ mad_ dog?''
20963''But, Mary,''I said, pausing in my occupation of putting on my stockings,''are you still thinking of taking this house?'' 20963 ''Ca n''t we be in time?
20963''Do the tops of the beds in Paris ever come down?''
20963''Do you know, Nelly,''she said,''queer things happen sometimes that one would be half inclined to put down to fairies if one did not know better?'' 20963 ''Do you mean that you are frightened, Laura dear?''
20963''Frogs or mice, I know,''but indeed I do n''t know,said grandmother;"why should I wish to turn my boy and girl children into frogs and mice?"
20963''Is n''t it dreadful, Mary?'' 20963 ''Is that the new junior?''
20963''Is that the old house with the terraced garden?'' 20963 ''Laura dear,''she said gravely,''did you say your prayers last night?''
20963''Mary,''I whispered, surprised and somewhat annoyed at my sister''s calmness,''are you going to let her go away? 20963 ''My dear Hugh-- is it you?
20963''Oh, he_ does_ know me then?'' 20963 ''Report me?''
20963''Then the driver,''I said;''could n''t he stay somewhere downstairs? 20963 ''Then why are you so terrified?
20963''To leave us-- thou, our only girl-- to go away to that great Paris, where one is so wicked-- where none would guard thee or care for thee? 20963 ''Well, Berkeley-- glad to see you-- what can I do for you?''
20963''What could be much worse?'' 20963 ''What does it matter?
20963''What has bon papa been saying?'' 20963 ''What have I done,''I said to myself,''to be looked at as if I were wicked and ungrateful?
20963''What is true?'' 20963 ''What?''
20963''What_ shall_ we do?'' 20963 ''Where are we?
20963''Which Grange, Miss? 20963 ''Yes; did you ever see such a specimen?''
20963''You do n''t mean to say it_ is_?'' 20963 ''Your dog?''
20963And Didier, Marie?
20963And I do n''t_ want_ you to die, grandmother dear, do I? 20963 And I think so too,"said Sylvia,"Do n''t you, Ralph?"
20963And are you disappointed that it is n''t?
20963And did the small- pox not spoil your beauty, Marie?
20963And did you grow finer and finer too, Marie?
20963And grandmother, please,said Sylvia,"may Molly and I go out with Marcelline this afternoon to do some shopping?
20963And my mother said gently,''How could''st thou ask such a thing, Marie?''
20963And the stories would be beautiful if I told them-- eh, Molly?
20963And was he put in prison?
20963And what am I to talk about?
20963And what did she say?
20963And what did your grandmother say? 20963 And what does he do it for?"
20963And what then, my dear?
20963And what were you all so busy chattering about when I interrupted you just now?
20963And when, oh, when will you read it?
20963And where are the three others?
20963And why can not my little girl ask it without all those shakes and''bothers?''
20963And why in such a hurry?
20963And you never heard any more noises?
20963Are n''t you ready for tea? 20963 Are they_ the_ apples?
20963Are you-- can you be-- Henry the Fourth?
20963Are you?
20963But how did you hear it? 20963 But suppose she was n''t nice?
20963But the apple- tree did n''t?
20963But what about, my dear child?
20963But what is it?
20963But what, dear?
20963But what_ was_ he doing?
20963Ca n''t you tell it us to- night then, grandmother dear?
20963Carrying wood?
20963Could n''t I read it for you, mother dear?
20963Did he ever come back again?
20963Did he never come home from the Crimea?
20963Did it do well?
20963Did my_ uncle_ buy it?
20963Did she die?
20963Did the road wind uphill all the way? 20963 Did you also make friends with him?"
20963Did you ever try one on, grandmother?
20963Do n''t you know?
20963Do you remember what made me call him a cad? 20963 Do you see it in my eyes?"
20963Do you, my darling?
20963Forgive you, dear? 20963 Grandmother dear,"she said gently,"was n''t the old lady_ dreadfully_ sorry when she heard he was dead?"
20963Grandmother''s arm was round me in a moment, and her kind voice saying,''Why, what is the matter, my little Nelly?'' 20963 Grandmother, will you forgive me?"
20963Had you all those?
20963Has she been a long time with you, grandmother dear?
20963Have you so much to do, my dear little girls, that you have n''t room in your minds to remember even this one thing?
20963How could any stories ever be written if people went on about them like that?
20963How could we_ possibly_ get lost here?
20963How do you do, my dear? 20963 How many are broken then?"
20963How many brooches in all have you, Molly?
20963I am glad you think so, grand- daughter dear; and now, what about going to bed? 20963 I mean, what did you like best?"
20963I wrote a note, where is it?
20963I?
20963If you are not the picture, who are you then?
20963Is Mademoiselle looking for the little demoiselle?
20963Is he a naughty boy? 20963 Is he a poor boy?"
20963Is he-- are his people so very poor that he has to do it? 20963 Is my father thinking of buying it?"
20963Is not a little old lady like me equal to taking care of you all?
20963Is that the superlative of''very pleased,''my dear Molly?
20963It was the pleasantest of old houses; and oh, we were sorry to leave it, were n''t we, mother?
20963Might Mademoiselle wait there? 20963 Might she send them up to the house?
20963Molly, my dear, what are you staring at so? 20963 My dear child, what_ do_ you mean?"
20963My dear child,said grandmother, who, tired of waiting, just then made her appearance in their room,"what have you been doing?
20963Nine kilomètres; between five and six miles? 20963 Not so young as you have been, grandmother dear?"
20963Of course not-- how could a big town be built in a day? 20963 Oh, Molly, how can you be so silly?"
20963Oh, by the by, children, where are your letters for your father? 20963 Shall I run up and tell her to come down?"
20963Shall I run with it to grandmother?
20963Shall we all be like that, grandmother dear, when we get old?
20963So I am_ really_ to be''grandmother dear,''to you, my dear funny little girl?
20963Then how is it you have so many more things to keep in it than Sylvia?
20963Then you did take the Grange, aunty?
20963They just_ what_?
20963To go where?
20963Uncle Jack who was killed in the Crimea?
20963Une petite fille comme Mademoiselle?
20963We were walking through a very narrow street, I was telling you-- was I not? 20963 Well, Ralph, and what have you been doing with yourself?"
20963Well, and if I did,he said somewhat gruffly,"a fellow may be mistaken, may n''t he?
20963Well, my boy?
20963Well, my boy?
20963Well, tell us_ about_ your grandmother: what was she like? 20963 Well?"
20963Well?
20963Well?
20963What are you saying, my dear?
20963What are your pet wishes, children?
20963What called me back? 20963 What can he have been doing that for?"
20963What did she mean, then, do you think?
20963What did you do with them yesterday when you came in?
20963What did you like when you were little, grandmother?
20963What do all those stars mean?
20963What do you mean, Ralph? 20963 What do you think?"
20963What is it about, grandmother? 20963 What is it?"
20963What is the little story about?
20963What is the matter now, my dear?
20963What is the matter, dear?
20963What is the story of Marie''s apple- tree, grandmother?
20963What nice funny things grandmother says, does n''t she, Sylvia?
20963What place?
20963What shall I do?
20963What shall we do to- morrow? 20963 What was that, grandmother?"
20963What were the private reasons? 20963 What would you have it?
20963What''s the good of muddling up what I say, and making my head feel_ so_ uncomfortable when you know quite well what I_ mean_? 20963 What_ can_ I call aunty, unless I say she''s a very jolly fellow?"
20963What_ could_ the child have had in her head?
20963What_ will_ Walter think of us,said aunty piteously, referring to the children''s father,"if we begin by losing one of them?"
20963What_ would_ we have done if she had been very tall and stout, and fierce- looking, with spectacles and a hookey nose?
20963When you ca n''t find your gloves, because you did n''t put them away carefully, is it the fault of the shape of the chest of drawers?
20963Where is Stéfanos, Marie?
20963Where was I?
20963Which is n''t yet begun-- eh, Molly?
20963Who are you?
20963Who is he? 20963 Who was it that took a box of matches in her pocket to Holyrood Palace, and was going to strike one to look for the blood- stains on the floor?
20963Whose drawer is this?
20963Why are you so frightened, Mademoiselle?
20963Why did you leave it, grandmother dear?
20963Why do n''t you say something too, Ralph?
20963Why do they call it''Salle Henri II.?'' 20963 Why?
20963Will you really come too, dear grandmother?
20963Wo n''t you explain to them, mother?
20963Yes, grandmother,said Ralph, looking rather abashed,"do n''t you remember, grandmother-- the day I called Prosper de Lastre a cad?
20963You both forgot?
20963You never saw your uncle Jack, of course; has your father ever told you about him?
20963You ran down to the lodge to see the soldiers passing; do n''t you remember, just when you had half taken off your things?
20963You remember my calling one of the boys in my class a cad-- what Molly began about last night?
20963_ All?_exclaimed Sylvia.
20963_ As you broke them?_repeated grandmother.
20963_ Ca n''t_ you tell it to us to- night then, grandmother dear?
20963_ Did_ I, my dear boy?
20963_ I_ thought of something that would make a great lot of people happy, if you and aunty would do it, grandmother dear?
20963_ Mind_, my Ralph? 20963 _ Mother!_ how did you find out what I was doing?"
20963_ WHERE_ IS SYLVIA?
20963_ Where_ is Sylvia?
20963_ Would_ I, grandmother dear?
20963''Are these all your clothes?
20963''Dead?''
20963''Do n''t you, grandmother?''
20963''I mean, what is the_ good_ of saying your prayers if you do n''t believe what you say?''
20963''I think it is a delicious house, do n''t you, Mary?''
20963''Is n''t it_ awfully_ cold?
20963''It is dreadfully cold, is n''t it?''
20963''Laura dear, what has made you so nervous all of a sudden?''
20963''Oh yes-- what is the matter, Laura?''
20963''Shall I go back with you to Kadikoi?
20963''That dear boy?''
20963''There could n''t be any one as nice, could there?''
20963''Was Sawyer ill?''
20963''Were we at Ryeburn together?''
20963''What was this something?''
20963''Why did n''t you bring us here past the Grange?
20963''Why not?''
20963''Will you tell me why?
20963''You wo n''t make me take it back to the old man?
20963***** Will_ you_ answer little Molly''s question, children dear?
20963--''But we can lock the door from the tapestry room into the passage, from our side, ca n''t we?''
20963A beautiful feeling, but strange too, you know, Sylvia?
20963A franc-- half a franc-- how much was equal to a sixpence or a shilling?
20963A little demoiselle dressed like Mademoiselle?
20963An old woman like me, can I have much influence with a boy?
20963And Molly, my dear little girl, why can you not learn to be more considerate?
20963And how are we to get to them?
20963And how far to the Grange?''
20963And oh, grandmother, will you really forgive me?''
20963And this salmon- coloured satin, with the pea- green slip-- will the stuffs they dye now keep their colour like that a hundred years hence?''
20963And what is your name?
20963And, Ralph, we might think of something for a little Christmas present for her, might we not?
20963And_ is n''t_ my plan a good one?"
20963Are n''t you awfully hungry, Sylvia?"
20963Are you not delighted?
20963Besides, what was there to see?
20963Boys are aggravating creatures, are they not?
20963But how was this?
20963But is n''t she nice?"
20963But tell me now what was in your mind, Molly?
20963But the dear ladies have not been anxious about her?
20963But the next time you make a plan for teaching yourself any good habit, talk it over with me first, will you, dear?"
20963But those people who have n''t learnt when they were little, they ca n''t teach others, grandmother, when they do n''t know themselves?"
20963But why should I be grumpy?
20963But, grandmother dear,"she went on,"would you mind telling me one thing?
20963Can you fancy this house ever feeling_ home- y_, Mary?
20963Dear me, is this a new fashion?
20963Did he ever tell anybody?
20963Did she hear it?''
20963Did she scold you?"
20963Did you ever hear anything so strange, Nelly?''
20963Did you ever hear of it?"
20963Did you never hear of old Alderwood Grange?"
20963Did_ you_ like lessons when you were little, grandmother dear?"
20963Do n''t you think the one to the south with the crimson curtains will be best for father?''
20963Do you intend to make a joke of what you should be so ashamed of, your own carelessness?"
20963Do you know what''tact''is, Molly?
20963Do you know, Sylvia?
20963Do you remember me, Berkeley?''
20963Do you understand at all better, dear?
20963Does he not do his lessons well?"
20963For you see we owe you some reparation for indirectly forcing you to leave Ryeburn-- you might have risen there-- who knows?
20963Had her thoughts of him this very afternoon been a sort of presentiment of evil?
20963Has my voice no weight with you?
20963Have you not got hold of the wrong end of the story, Molly?"
20963How could there be two little demoiselles,"tout- à- fait pareilles?"
20963How could there be two''tout à fait pareils''?"
20963How did you get down?"
20963How did you get on at school, to- day, Ralph?"
20963How do you know what poor Mr. Sawyer said to himself when he was alone in his room that day?
20963How far is it from here to East Hornham?''
20963How is it it is so much smaller than Sylvia''s?"
20963How it will be in heaven I wonder often-- for friends so changed to meet again?
20963How much more is there?"
20963How was it that she could not manage to keep the resolutions so often and so conscientiously made?
20963How-- how much do you think would please the boys?''
20963How_ can_ you, Molly?"
20963Hung round with black and tapers burning?"
20963I cried, more and more angry,''What is it to you what I do?
20963I do not ask you now to say you care for me, you are too young, but I thought you would perhaps learn, but to think of you going away to Paris?
20963I do not wish to make him unhappy, but what can I do?
20963I glanced round at her; she was fast asleep; there was no danger; what harm_ could_ it do for me to take the cup into my hand for a moment?
20963I said to myself, Who could have done more?
20963I suppose his relations are not likely to interest themselves in his protégée?"
20963I think I may trust you with them, may I not?"
20963If it had n''t been, how would grandmother have known about it?"
20963If it is fine this afternoon,"he added,"may I stay out later?
20963Is he in the house, do you know?''
20963Is he too in the army?''
20963Is my cap crooked?"
20963Is n''t it nice?"
20963Is there a good crop this year?"
20963It is only seven, but if you are tired?"
20963It was a brave thing to do-- was it not?
20963It was-- did I say so before?
20963Let me see, where was I?
20963Mademoiselle can judge, are not the apples good?
20963Marie, you know how I care for you, how I have always cared for you, you know what I hope may be some day?
20963Molly, by this time almost in tears, remained behind for a moment to whisper to Sylvia,"Is grandmother dreadfully angry, do you think, Sylvia?
20963Now, do n''t they, grandmother dear?
20963Now, is n''t it true, Sylvia, is n''t our grandmother just like a_ real_ one?"
20963Of course I mean can grandmother remember her-- did she know her?
20963Oh dear, oh dear, what_ shall_ I do?''
20963Oh, Mary, what_ shall_ we do?
20963Oh, Nelly, never_ never_ plant that seed, for once it has taken root who can say how difficult it may be to tear it up?''
20963Oh, grandmother dear,"she went on, clasping her hands in entreaty,"just tell me this,_ do_ you ever tell stories?"
20963Oh, grandmother_ dear_, are n''t you glad she''s found?"
20963Please, grandmother dear,_ may_ I have that cup when you die?"
20963Ralph, you''ll sit up with me a little longer, wo n''t you?"
20963Rather like poor Mary, is she not?
20963Shall I pay them an unexpected visit-- eh, Molly?"
20963Shall I tell him to come up to speak to you?''
20963Shall he return in an hour, Berkeley?''
20963Shall we ask grandmother, Sylvia?"
20963She had fallen asleep with her head on the apple- woman''s stall; when she looked round her again where was she?
20963She is getting old, you see, and old people are always fond of talking, they say-- like your poor old grandmother-- eh, Molly?"
20963She is very fond of the little wood up the road, grandmother: shall I go and look for her there?"
20963She shall be called''Marie, shall she not?
20963So each of the three said"Well?"
20963So no wonder that poor Carlo repeated in amazement,"''_ Report_ me?''
20963Supposing anybody''s grandmother died before they were born, then they would n''t ever have had one, would they now?"
20963Sylvia lost in the Louvre"Whose Drawer is this?"
20963Then Sylvia said gently,"Did you tell your father and mother all about it, grandmother?"
20963There was a bag in the carriage-- should he bring it in?''
20963There was no special reason for it, was there?
20963Was grandmother''s own sight, hitherto quite to be depended upon, playing her some queer trick?
20963Was her sight, as well as her hearing, failing her?
20963Was it at that place?"
20963Was n''t she_ dreadfully_ sorry when she heard he was dead?"
20963We met Ralph in the town, and I''m sure he did n''t want us to see him, for what_ do_ you think he was doing?"
20963We never thought we''d have such adventures, did we?
20963We went up to the drawing- room, there was nobody there-- my father went out of the room and called up the staircase,''Mother, where are you?''
20963What can be nicer than a nice grandmother?"
20963What could Miss Wren be talking about?
20963What could be much worse?
20963What did I see?
20963What does he want?''
20963What does it matter to us?
20963What is it called?"
20963What is it?''
20963What shall I do with her?''
20963What shall I do?"
20963What shall we go to see first?"
20963What should I say?
20963What was the''plan''?"
20963What would my feelings have been had I been away in Paris?"
20963What_ is_ the meaning of it?
20963What_ was_ lost upon grandmother?
20963When did he die?
20963When people write stories how do they know all the things they tell?
20963Where could she be?
20963Where had she ever seen this old- world figure before?
20963Where is it, my dear?
20963Where was I?
20963Where_ are_ my gloves?
20963Which house shall we go to see first?''
20963Who is it?
20963Who_ can_ be above it really?
20963Whose could it be?
20963Why not believe it now?
20963Why should my life be given up to the fancies of a foolish old man like bon papa?''
20963Why would people praise me when I did not deserve it?
20963Will you do this?''
20963Will you please forgive me?"
20963Will you try to remember it, Molly?"
20963Will you write to my mother after I am gone, and tell her?
20963You are_ sure_, Miss, you were not dreaming?''
20963You do n''t mind, grandmother?"
20963You may be sure grandmother gave her a present, I rather think it was of a five- franc piece, which was very extravagant of grandmother, was n''t it?
20963You see you''re so much younger, and then I do n''t think anybody_ could_ tell stories like her, could they?
20963You understand it all now?
20963You will keep the cup now?''
20963You would look so beautiful telling stories, would n''t she now, Sylvia?"
20963[ Illustration:''WHOSE DRAWER IS THIS?'']
20963_ Had_ he ever seen him before?
20963_ Will_ you think of some?"
20963_ just_ like her?
20963exclaimed Sylvia and Molly--"oh, grandmother, what_ did_ you do?"
20963exclaimed all the children-- Molly adding,"Had_ you_ ever a grandmother, grandmother dear?"
20963how do you mean, aunty?"
20963is she quite alone in the world?
20963she went on, turning again to her sister,"how_ can_ you talk about dear grandmother dying?
20963to the other two, and stood waiting, as if they were playing the old game of"Who speaks first?"
20963was she like you?"
20963was she seeking some one?"
20963what did you do that for, and where did you get it?"
20963what''s his name?"
