16460What mean these sobs, these tears, this heart- break?
16460What this meant who can tell?
16460What would he do?
16460Who can say what passed in those closing moments, while the life- blood was ebbing away?
16460Who is there to record for us the prayer- meetings held in the British camp?
16460Who knows whether they will ever meet on earth again?
16460Who shall describe how rough men became as gentle women, and how those racked with pain themselves yet tried to minister to the wants of others?
16460Who shall tell the tale of agony?
16460Who that has not seen these Highlanders march can have any idea of their perfect bearing and splendid condition?
16460Who were they-- British?
16460Who''s that in front?
16460You speak to him on the subject''How long did you lie there?''
16460You thought I liked a good innings, but why should not every blood- bought and blood- washed one be the same?
16460You will ask, why this great sickness and mortality?
16460if some, why not all?
16460sir, when do you think Buller will get through?''
16460who shall tell the heroism then displayed?
16460you are shaking, are you?
34907A close shave,he adds;"but what matter?
34907And how did you know they were Army Service officers?
34907And tell us now, have ye left us a Gerry at all alive to get a pelt at, and we new at the game?
34907And where''s the good, sir?
34907Hello, Irish,they cried;"how is King Carson getting on?
34907Hello, there; what are you up to?
34907How deep is it with you?
34907How many?
34907If we brained them on the spot, who could blame us? 34907 Is it bad news ye bring, crying in that way?"
34907Tell me what happened,said the commanding officer, when the sergeant came to make his report;"were you surprised?"
34907Well,said the dentist to a Munster Fusilier,"where''s this bad tooth that''s troubling you?"
34907What have you there?
34907What struck me most?
34907What would you call unusual?
34907What would you do if you saw five battleships steaming across the field?
34907Where''s that blessed village we''ve got to take?
34907Where''s the machine''s belt and ammunition?
34907Who will now say that the Germans are not sportsmen?
34907Why do you beat the poor animal so much?
34907Why should the man lose a day?
34907Why so, sir?
34907Will no one come to me?
34907''Would you like some Irish rebellion?''
34907A Connaught Ranger, back from such an expedition, related that, hearing the Gerrys talking, he called out,"How many of ye are there?"
34907And in which category must be placed the equally amusing retort of another Irish sentry to his officer-- the naïvely simple, or the slyly jocular?
34907And what of the men as they waited in the assembly trenches for the word?
34907And why not?
34907But can it really?
34907But instead of that the chorus of their song, set to a hymn tune, was this--"Will you fight for England?
34907But were n''t the Dublins in the divil of a hurry back to billets?
34907But, to round off the story, what motive of a material kind would impel the Welsh Regiments to greater military exertions?
34907Did n''t I see their swords stuck behind their ears?"
34907Did n''t the officers tell us before we left the trenches that there was to be no going back?"
34907Even if death should come, what is it but the shadowy gate which opens into life everlasting and blissful?
34907How can you tell that these laughable things are said and done by Irish soldiers without any perception of humour or absurdity?
34907How could it be with stern, black- visaged Death always watching with wolfish eyes to see men die?
34907How could it possibly be repeated?
34907If it was crying they were, would n''t they be roaring and bawling?
34907If they were shot in the attempt, what matter?
34907Is he alone in the whole wide world, the solitary survivor of this terrible war?
34907Is it not better to be funny without knowing it than to suffer the rather common lot of attempting to be funny and fail?
34907Is n''t a miss as good as a mile?"
34907Oh, holy mother of God, where''s my arm?"
34907Shall we say any one of the three inducements mentioned-- pay, grub or grog, or, better still, all of them together?
34907So he wrote,"May we take our wounded man in?
34907Some of them would"get the beck"--the call from Death-- but what matter?
34907The sentry looked so shy and inexperienced that the officer put to him the question,"What are you here for?"
34907There is an ancient Gaelic proverb which says:"What is there that seems worse to a man than his death?
34907Were their comrades slain only a moment since to go unavenged?
34907What could you do in that case, but what I did?
34907What more can one do, it may be asked, than one''s duty?
34907What the mischief was the matter with them, anyway?
34907Whence came these shells?
34907Where was the enemy?
34907Why should He not work also through the agency of the religious emblems of His angels and saints?
34907Will you face the foe?
34907Would any of ye be so kind as to lend me the loan of a hammer?"
34907Would it be possible for them to extricate themselves from the fearful labyrinth in which they were involved?
34907Would there be any of them left for the final dash at their objective?
34907and have you got Home Rule yet?"
34907says he;''what the divil are ye doin''there beside my officer?
16089Can you help me, sir?
16089Did you foresee it?
16089Fattigay?
16089For what can it be intended but to attack England?
16089Have you ever done any machine work before?
16089How many years have we been at war?
16089If I go down to the shed and say:''Girls!--there''s a bit of work the Government are pushing for-- they say they must have-- can you get it done?'' 16089 Is it possible that all this is the work of eighteen months?"
16089Narpoo? 16089 Probably,"I said,"you would like to find the men?"
16089So you are still, in England, taking the war lying down?
16089Was he not,asks a well- known Eton master,"that tall, smiling, strong, gentle- mannered boy at White- Thomson''s?"
16089Well, my boys, you could stick it all right?
16089What country has ever raised over sixty per cent of its total recruitable strength, for service beyond the seas in a few months?
16089What do they think we are about?
16089Why are you so anxious to go to Egypt?
16089Why do n''t they give more Red Crosses to the_ working nurses_? 16089 Will_ they_ come out?
16089You have your passes?
16089You''re Welsh, then?
16089''And what''ll our men at the front do, if we go holiday- making?''
16089A more practical religion"lifting mankind again"?--a new St. Francis, preaching the old things in new ways?
16089And the New Armies?--"Kitchener''s Men"?
16089And what are the results?
16089And what of the Dominions?
16089And yet-- was it after all so slow?
16089Are we?
16089Are you yet fully awake-- yet fully in earnest, in this crisis of England''s fate?
16089As to Dilution, it is now accepted by the men, who said when it was proposed to them:"Why did n''t you come to us six months ago?"
16089At the same moment he turned to address a young artillery- officer in the road:"Is your gun near here?"
16089At the same time, what is Great Britain doing_ for her Allies_?
16089But since then?
16089But the war itself-- the deadly struggle of that distant line to which it all tends?
16089But what are we getting for our money?
16089But what of the men, the Armies, for which these munitions are being made and hurried to the fighting- lines?
16089By whom has this result been brought about?
16089Can we keep it up?
16089Compree?"
16089Could any one have made such an omelet without breaking a great many eggs?
16089First-- what have the rich been doing?
16089For what had we paid so sore a price?
16089Hours?
16089Hours?
16089How far are we from them?
16089If not, what sort of relations will shape themselves, and how quickly, between the Central Empires and America?
16089In one of his latest letters, quoted by a friend in a short biography, Robert Palmer wrote:--"Who is n''t weary to death of the war?
16089Is it defects of administration, or a certain"cussedness"in the Scotch character, which resents any tightening of law?
16089Knows what?
16089May n''t they be glad of it some day?
16089Meanwhile, what has Germany been doing in her shipyards all this time?
16089Seafaring, tillage, house- building, horse- taming, so muses Sophocles, two thousand three hundred years ago; how did man ever find them out?
16089Shall I always regret that lost opportunity?
16089The great Allied attack on the West-- was it ready,_ at last_?
16089The shell has sped on its way to the German trenches-- with what result to human flesh and blood?
16089The temper of the nation?
16089Was the return adequate, and not only to our safety, but to our prestige?
16089Was your own vast levy in the Civil War without them?
16089What are these lines of light among the pine woods?
16089What is Dilution?
16089What is it that alone has secured us the time to make the effort we have made?
16089What is the proof of this-- the proof which history will accept as final-- against the vain and lying pleas of Germany?
16089What of the mothers who reared them, the schools and universities which sent them forth?--the comrades who are making ready to carry on their work?
16089What of the_ young_, of all classes and opportunities, who have laid down their lives in this war?
16089What strange moving bodies are those, scudding along over the dim surface, like the ghosts of sea planes?
16089What vast and effective stir, for a great end, was ever made in the world without them?
16089What will happen?
16089When has our naval supremacy ever hurt them?
16089When will they come out?"
16089Where was my friend who had hoped to come for me himself?
16089Where was the boat?
16089Will Germany give way?
16089Will he recover?
37628''Ow can I keep me''orses fit,he used to say,"if a bloomin''bank clerk goes drivin''''em at a stretched gallop the''ole o''Saturday?
37628''Ow should I know?
37628Anything happen after I left?
37628Are you certain,I repeated,"that you''ve only got your own telescope and sight clinometer?"
37628Did you pass any of our infantry on your way?
37628Do you know what to- day is?
37628Fuze two-- more_ right_ I said-- damn them, they''re still advancing-- what price the old----th now?...
37628How do you mean, sir?
37628Jolly, is n''t it?
37628Never mind,I replied,"but would it be disturbing your arrangements at all if I watered my horses and gave my men some food here?
37628Nice box- up here, is n''t it? 37628 Steady now-- get back, will yer?"
37628Well,said some one else,"he''s been posted to B sub; why not call him Bilfred?"
37628What do you mean? 37628 What is it, Tony?"
37628What price the news?
37628What the devil have you got there, Tebbut?
37628What the hell shall I do now?
37628What will these keep out?
37628What''s happened here, and where the devil have you been all day?
37628Where have you come from?
37628Who are_ you_?
37628Will I take his place?
37628Wot about yer''orses, Snatty?
37628Yes, sir: but have you seen our oven?
37628You are an officer, are n''t you?
37628You shut yer mouth and get on with yer work,was the rejoinder,"Wot do you know about guns, I''d like to know?"
37628And he made it unmistakably plain that what he meant was:"Do you think I''m such a fool as to let you go?
37628Any letters for me?"
37628At intervals, every half- hour or so, a mighty shout would go up,"Are we downhearted?"
37628But did we"take over"this position?
37628But how soon?
37628But what will happen now?
37628Can you do anything?
37628Could tact have gone further?
37628D''you reckon''e''ll get orl right, sir?"
37628Did you get''em?"
37628Does our escort( twenty armed men under a sergeant) fear a combined revolt, I wonder, or is this done merely to annoy us?
37628Get an orderly, will you, Tony?"
37628He would growl at each one as he groomed him, or scold him as one does a naughty child, and his"Naow_ then_, stand still, will yer, Dawn?"
37628However, the patriotism of the canteen contractor( who, need I say?
37628Is it worth all the trouble, the science, the skill, the organisation?
37628Is n''t that so?"
37628Is there not a derelict railway station less than a mile away, and are not piles of rubble placed along the roadsides for mending purposes?
37628It is as if they said, in so many words,"Who the deuce are you?
37628It was his right, he had earned it by nine months of drudgery-- and who the devil, anyway, he felt, was this old fool to thwart him?
37628Now?"
37628Oats were plentiful-- what else mattered?
37628Our pit could n''t keep the rain out last night-- what''ll it do if a shell comes along?"
37628PART II"AND THE OLD"BILFRED... Fellow- creature I am, fellow- servant Of God: can man fathom God''s dealings with us?
37628See?"
37628Should he hide all the colonel''s clothes and only reveal their whereabouts when the application had been forwarded?
37628Supposing he were to lose half a dozen wagons or thousands of rounds of howitzer ammunition, would his colonel get sent home?
37628The sergeant- major, for instance, who is the personification of respectful efficiency-- what does he think of this infant unit?
37628Then he said slowly:"Are you English?"
37628Then''e suddenly calls out:''Is that there telephone workin''yet?''
37628Then, after a pause, he added recklessly,"Would you have come back, sir, if you''d been me?"
37628They are happy now because they''re thinking only of to- morrow, but what of the day after?
37628Understand that?"
37628Well, do not the winds that shriek across this flat country blow down trees sometimes?
37628What about them fags, Tom?
37628What of the future of these maimed and broken men?
37628What say to going down the road?"
37628What''s going to happen to- morrow?"
37628When can I join?
37628Which one had they in your brigade when you went over there last night-- the right one or the wrong one?"
37628Why did n''t you tell me that before?"
37628Why not have left the poor devil in his hospital?
37628Will they be remembered or forgotten?
37628Would he stamp his feet and toss his head proudly when he heard of the Greys at Waterloo or the Light Brigade at Balaclava?
37628a husky voice exclaimed,"stand still, will yer, Dawn?"
37628and who knoweth more?
37628did yer?
37628she exclaimed to me in the tones of an anxious mother-- and then added in an excited whisper,"A- t- il vu les Boches, ce petit sous- lieutenant?"
37628some one asked him;"who''s going to''ave them when you''re gorn?"
37628what of the thousands of days after?
62571''Do you think you could find it?'' 62571 ''What have you got there, sir?''
62571''What, looking for money, my lad,''said he,''eh?'' 62571 ''Why do n''t they come on like men,''they cried,''whilst we''ve strength left in us to fight them?''
62571A distressing circumstance connected with this( shall I confess it?) 62571 Apparently not noticing what I said, he continued his lamentations, and,''Vil you no stop, sare, I say?''
62571Did you ever see a man so wounded recover?
62571Do you think I am dying?
62571What pen can describe the scene? 62571 ''And why particularly Driver Crammond?'' 62571 ''But what creature turned you out? 62571 ''But where are you going?'' 62571 ''But you will perhaps have the goodness to tell me where you are going yourself?'' 62571 ''Captain Mercer, are you loaded?'' 62571 ''D-- you for a fool,''he said;''what sort of a shot do you call that? 62571 ''Have you no orders?'' 62571 ''What can it mean?'' 62571 ''What is the matter with you, dear?'' 62571 ''Who do you belong to?'' 62571 ''Who turned you out?'' 62571 At length Captain Leech observed her, and called out to the company--''Does any man here know what has happened to Cochan?
62571But was it really a French battery which was wrecking Mercer''s guns?
62571Did He Deserve it?
62571Do you think you are fighting here with your fists that you are running into the teeth of the French?''
62571Do you think you can retire quick enough afterwards?''
62571I smiled at his energy, and, pointing to the remains of my poor troop, quietly asked,''How, sir?''
62571I told him that they were nearly so, and added,''I suppose they wo n''t be wanted, at all events, before to- morrow?''
62571If French, how came he here to die alone so far in the rear of our lines?
62571Is it necessary to define my sensations?
62571Is it possible that I am not understood at once?
62571Is there nothing in this to excite emotion?
62571It may be asked what impulse sent a youth of this type-- under- sized, lean, frugal, canny-- to a soldier''s life?
62571It struck me that I knew his face, and, turning back, I stopped him, asking if he was not Robert Liston, formerly a corporal in the 95th Rifles?
62571Meeting one next morning, a very little fellow, I asked what had happened to them yesterday?
62571Men began to look into each other''s faces, and ask the question,''Are we ever to be halted again?''
62571Musther Hills,''I heard him say,''where the d-- l is this you''re taking us to?''
62571Or, in the mad inevitable distraction of a great battle were the Allied gunners destroying each other?
62571Query-- Who, and what was he firing at?
62571Signed,''& c.,& c."Where is Strytem?
62571The Duke turned roughly upon him,"What the devil do you want, sir?"
62571The usual salutation on meeting an acquaintance of another regiment after an action was to ask who had been hit?
62571The wretches had probably already done mischief elsewhere-- who knows?"
62571Vere is de Dook von Vellington?
62571What could I do?
62571What does each separate human atom feel, when caught in that whirling tornado of passion and of peril?
62571What is all this noise?
62571What was this to a parcel of men who had scarcely eaten a morsel for three days?
62571and for what this sudden move?
62571are we off, sir?''
62571but on this occasion it was,''Who''s alive?''
62571do you remember what happened to me at Salamanca?''
62571he said, as he grasped hold of me,''who the---- do you think is to stay hum- bugging all day for such a fellow as you?''"
62571mine Gott!--mine Gott; vil you no stop, sare?--vil you no stop?
62571no shoes, Harris, I see, eh?''
62571thought I, where are my ammunition waggons?
62571vat for is dis?
62571vat is it you doos, sare?
62571vere is de Dook von Vellington?
62571what would such as you have done in the Pyrenees?''
34188''Are you a minister?'' 34188 ''Can you bury this man?''
34188''Canna we sing something first? 34188 ''What do you think the brave fellow did?
34188''What price this little lot, doctor?'' 34188 ''When did you get this?''
34188Did you hit him?
34188Have you thought of your own soul?
34188His drawn face lit up with a smile, and he whispered in broken English:''Salvation Army? 34188 Is there a priest here?"
34188My first thoughts were: What is it like; shall I be able to stand the sight of it? 34188 Padre, did you see me at the service last night?"
34188The beauty of it is we are not troubled with fear at all-- who could be in the presence of the Master?
34188Well, what did you do?
34188Well,said the lady,"I suppose you killed your man?"
34188What is his religion-- the dead man? 34188 ''And who will do the schorin''fur the ould tame now? 34188 ''Do you belong to it?'' 34188 ''How many?'' 34188 ''Is n''t it wonderful how quickly this sort of thing tells upon a man? 34188 ''Supposing a shot came for you next,''he said,''how would it be for you?'' 34188 ''This is better than the last time we crossed it, is n''t it, sir? 34188 A recruit was asked,What are you?
34188After all, why should not nations emulate the example of their soldiers?
34188After this who will call parsons cowards?
34188And as the train steams out those brave lads ask again,"Are we downhearted?"
34188And the question is to what sort of a Church will they come?
34188And they?
34188And what about the_ Christian_ soldier?
34188And yet are these nations Christian?
34188Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?
34188Are the people at home praying?
34188Are they conscious of sin within, and of their need of a Saviour?
34188Are they conscious that they have such terrible engines of destruction on board which on occasion they will use?
34188Are they praying for us doing our bit out here, or are they still going on the old way?''...
34188Are we down- hearted?
34188But how did he come by the name Thomas Atkins?
34188But to the ordinary man- of- war''s man has there come an accession of seriousness, such as has come to the men in the sister service?
34188But what will the new army be like?
34188Can I doubt His tender mercy, Who through life has been my Guide?
34188Can you give it to us?''
34188Church or Catholic?"
34188Do these thoughts ever come to a Jack Tar, and how do they affect him?
34188Does the thought of death affect them?
34188Does the thought of it ever appal them?
34188Down- hearted?
34188Everybody is asking, Where is the Grand Fleet?
34188Fierce is the conflict, the turmoil, and strife; Fraught with such peril, danger so rife, Are we down- hearted?
34188Fortunately the attempt failed, but what profit would it have been if this life- giving ship had been sunk?
34188Has not Germany by its adoption of a false philosophy forfeited the title of Christian?
34188Has there been one lacking in courage?
34188Have the things of eternity become more real?
34188He closes his letter with the verse: All the way my Saviour leads me; What have I to ask beside?
34188He looked down at his shaking legs and said,"You''re shaking, are you?
34188His chum did n''t miss him until we had gone several hundred yards, and then he says,"Where''s----?"
34188How can they march?
34188How did the Christian men spend theirs?
34188How have they borne themselves-- these men who have been transferred from the pulpit to the battle- field?
34188How is it possible that such things could take place in this age of education?
34188How tackle it?
34188I said"a distressing thing,"but is it not a tragedy?
34188I wonder if this is a record for such an institution?
34188Is it not a grim tragedy that men who can thus fraternise on Christmas Day should a few hours after be sending each other to their death?
34188Light- hearted and merry as ever, have they the joy of the Lord?
34188May I first speak of the courage of our chaplains?
34188Not bad for a blood- thirsty Briton, eh?
34188One great shout by hundreds of eager young lads,"Are we downhearted?"
34188Pick them up, will you?''
34188Presently a voice cries out,''What hymn will you have, men?''
34188Staff- Sergeant Barlow proceeds to describe his first impressions of this awful work:"What were my first impressions?
34188The question was, Whose name should be put in there?
34188The war will end some day, and then, what then?
34188Then, as an afterthought,''What Ambulance did you say?''
34188They have seen something, and that something which is responsible for the question they so frequently ask,''What is it like at home?
34188What do we see in the gathering of men under the fo''castle?
34188What does a charge from the trenches feel like to a Christian"Tommy"who is taking part in it?
34188What effect has the imminence of death upon the character of the men?
34188What is the general impression that it leaves?
34188What of them?
34188What wonder after this that we are told that most of the wounds received in those early days were septic on their arrival at the base hospital?
34188When the war broke out, we found ourselves asking,"How will it be with us now?"
34188Where am I to begin?
34188Why?
34188Will it be as susceptible as the old?
34188Will the men still thrill when the Gospel story is told?
34188Will they think only of that, or will their hearts also be"strangely warmed"by tidings of their Saviour''s love?
34188With forty million mouths to feed and only six weeks''supply of food in the country, how will it be with us now?
34188people"and others work?
34188tent?
34188why should I hit him?
56924Abandon my proper rôle for this?
56924If its full strength can be employed in the charge,it"represents, even against troops using the rifle"( what troops?
56924The resistance of a body of equal strength( a body of what?
56924( 2) If so, should the resulting collision be a shock- collision?
56924And Sir John French?
56924And he comes back to what?
56924And on how many occasions did mounted riflemen, destitute of these weapons, capture transport and guns and rout reserves?
56924And the escort and main body?
56924And the lesson of South Africa?
56924And what kind of Cavalry do our Cavalrymen count upon meeting in our next war?
56924And what of illustrations and examples from modern war?
56924And what of the action of Cavalry against other Arms?
56924And what of the"tenacity and stiffness"with which we must not"seek to endow"Cavalry?
56924And what of these other sorts of fights defined under their various heads?
56924And yet, if you do n''t weaken the firing line, how are you to guard the led horses against attack from some other quarter?
56924But Cavalry acting against Cavalry( supposing, we wonder, they turn out_ not_ to be Cavalry?)
56924But Infantry, riflemen without horses, who can not gallop, but can only run?
56924But can they, in this particular matter?
56924But has nothing notable happened since 1865?
56924But how can detachments, perhaps twenty miles away on the other flank, be said to screen the Cavalry mass?
56924But what has the sword to do with the bayonet?
56924But what is a"locality,"an attack on which is distinguished from a battle of encounter?
56924But why is Sir Evelyn Wood singled out?
56924But why, I asked, could not the act be performed on even one single occasion in three years of war in South Africa?
56924But"Where am I?"
56924But, as I asked at page 121, what has the bayonet got to do with the lance and sword?
56924By whom was the real offensive work done?
56924CHAPTER III THE BRITISH THEORY OF THE ARME BLANCHE AND now, what in Great Britain is the real theory on this question?
56924Can we trace any further this alleged"terror of the cold steel"?
56924Did the 900 troopers of the Imperial Light Horse who carried it out suffer from the lack of swords and lances?
56924Did the presence of the lance and sword on the field of combat make any difference to the result?
56924Did their work compare unfavourably with that of the Cavalry Division, 6,000 strong, in the relief of Kimberley?
56924Do we find that steel- armed mounted troops had greater moral effect upon the enemy than troops armed only with the rifle?
56924Does not the reader feel his brain going when he reads a sentence like this?
56924Have not they fully as much need of those qualities as Infantry?
56924If Cavalry have to do the same work as Infantry, should not they carry bayonets?
56924Is it any matter of surprise that the Germans are slow to listen to General von Bernhardi?
56924Is it likely to be"exhaustive,""convincing,""complete"?
56924Is it not plain that we are dealing here with a matter of faith, not of reason; of dogma, not of argument; of sentiment, not of technical practice?
56924Is it practicable for men to remain in their saddles and wield steel weapons against men armed with modern rifles?
56924Is not the reader conscious of an extraordinary artificiality and unreality in the terms employed?
56924Is there a mutual deadlock, both remaining in"defence"?
56924Is there no lesson from South Africa here?
56924Is there no lesson from South Africa here?
56924Men who read that will say:"Why waste time at all, then?"
56924Mounted, however, and"charging in close formation,"it can attack even a stronger enemy( what sort of enemy?
56924On what single occasion were lances and swords of the smallest value in attacks on transport?
56924Perfectly true-- we agree; but what bearing has this obvious truth on the combat value of the lance and sword?
56924Supposing our gallant Colonials had said that at Sannah''s Post?
56924That is nearly four miles away, and the questions at once arise, Who are these invisible troops with Artillery?
56924The issue before us is this: Is a certain mode of fighting possible in modern days?
56924Then, why, we ask, all this reasoned instruction about Cavalry making its way to the crisis and delivering its charge?
56924There are, of course, two distinct questions involved:( 1) Should the Independent Cavalries concentrate at the outset?
56924Very good; but why not have followed the same principle in earlier chapters, instead of talking of Cavalry charging Infantry under cover, etc.?
56924Were"these measures,"then, only to screen the Cavalry mass?
56924What antithesis can there be between Cavalry"pursuing in the open"and Cavalry conducting a"parallel pursuit"?
56924What do they enjoin?
56924What does he suppose their Cavalry leaders would have thought of his theories?
56924What does"Independent"mean?
56924What fresh matter, either for German exposition or for British eulogy, could there be?
56924What is going to happen?
56924What is it?
56924What is that range?
56924What is the battle of encounter?
56924What is the connection with his previous chapters on reconnaissance?
56924What is the enemy''s Cavalry supposed to be doing?
56924What is the result?
56924What is the use of a rule like that?
56924What is their strength and composition?
56924What is there to regret?
56924What is to happen when both sides are at grips on terms of fire?
56924What lies behind this ambiguous language, which, remember, is the outcome of pure"speculation"?
56924What principle is he trying to express?
56924What wars, then, according to the German expert, are the uneducated German Cavalry to study?
56924What will there be to regret in that?
56924What, then, if not a charge?
56924What, then, of the charging patrols and squadrons?
56924When will our soldiers base their rules on war facts?
56924When, in his opinion, is this rifle to be used?
56924When, indeed?
56924Where are these customs?
56924Where would Sir John French''s argument lead him, if he only followed it up and supplied the missing links?
56924Where, then, is the battle of encounter?
56924Where, then, is the theoretical advantage of the lance and sword over the modern rifle?
56924Which Arm really displayed the most"offensive spirit"in South Africa?
56924Why appeal to Frederick the Great?
56924Why does he not warn his countrymen, instead of telling them that these German speculations are brilliant, logical, conclusive, complete?
56924Why not Lord Roberts, who has, and who is the only living British officer with a European reputation?
56924Why not have begun with it?
56924Why not have said at the outset that their normal action must be something quite different?
56924Why not have them placed in the forefront of our own Cavalry Manual, in the approaching revision of that important work?
56924Why not in one single recorded case in a year''s war in Manchuria?
56924Why not say at once that the proper or normal rôle of Cavalry is fire- action, and the exceptional or abnormal rôle shock- action?
56924Why should I have mentioned it?
56924Why speak of Cavalry driving the hostile Cavalry off the field, with more emphasis than of Infantry doing the same to Infantry?
56924Why talk, then, about"relief from the onus of choice"?
56924Why"commence"only?
56924Why"principally"?
56924Would the General be well pleased?
56924Would they?
56924_ Cadit quæstio._ Why not have begun"Cavalry in War and Peace"with these illuminating axioms?
56924how composed?)
56924of the time of the Cavalry soldier, and make it officially subordinate to steel weapons which can only be used by its indulgence?
56924of what strength?
25829Ah,she cried,"is n''t it a jolly morning?
25829Ah,she said, with a little tremble in her voice,"if I do marry you-- will you be kind to me?"
25829Am I to set for the three, sir?
25829And she''s a woman, after all, is n''t she?
25829And what about you?
25829And why, may I ask, did you do it?
25829And-- er-- your wife''s not here with you?
25829Anything wrong?
25829Are n''t you?
25829Are you busy?
25829Are you going to stand outside in this moth- eaten passage the rest of the night, or will you come in with me and have a whisky and soda? 25829 Are you sure,"asked Miss Marley, gently,"that you will manage this time?"
25829Are you trying to pay me back for falling asleep?
25829Army, you were going to say, were n''t you?
25829Been telling lies, have they? 25829 But ca n''t horrid women be pretty, too?"
25829But do you care for her knocking about so with young Rivers and that chap Roper? 25829 But how much heart have you got?
25829But it ca n''t matter what people say if it is n''t true, can it?
25829But my dear Lady Staines,she urged,"surely you tried kindness?"
25829But they do n''t mind us, do they?
25829But why do n''t you put your skates on?
25829But why should she marry?
25829But you could n''t talk things over with them or answer their questions, could you?
25829But you knew we were always going out in March did n''t you?
25829By Jove,he thought to himself,"can she be as beautiful as she looks?"
25829By Jove,said Lionel, thoughtfully;"simple, d''you call it?
25829Ca n''t you see,she asked bitterly,"that our life together is the most awful tragedy?"
25829Can you listen to what I say?
25829Could any one,she said under her breath,"think any harm of him?
25829Did n''t want me to have it, I suppose?
25829Did you bag those fellows yourself?
25829Dinner as usual?
25829Do you mean to tell me I''ve wasted that three hundred pounds, Sarah?
25829Do you mean you''ve sent Lionel away?
25829Do you mind just getting up and touching the bell? 25829 Do you really think she''s pretty?
25829Do you see that woman,he asked Claire,"the pretty one over there by the pillar?
25829Do you think I want to leave you? 25829 Do you_ want_ me to love Estelle?"
25829Does he?
25829Flirt? 25829 Has he complained of my keeping him here?"
25829Has he talked to you about it?
25829Have you been down the Cresta?
25829How can I explain to people,Claire went on,"what he''s been like?
25829How can you possibly tell?
25829How did you get hold of it?
25829How do you mean?
25829How far are they behind you?
25829I admit things are awkward for you-- damned awkward-- still it''s no use sitting down under them when you might have a row and clear the air, is it? 25829 I dare say,"said Winn after rather a long pause,"you see what I mean?
25829I do n''t want to blame her, but it''s no use counting her in; besides, honestly, Father, I do n''t care a rap-- why should I expect her to? 25829 I have n''t any right to now, have I?
25829I mean,she said,"have you got to consider anybody else?
25829I mean--_nonsense_ ca n''t_ count_ against any one?
25829I must stay with you, must n''t I?
25829I say,he began,"do n''t you think we''ve got rather off the track?
25829I say,he said after a moment''s pause,"would you mind marrying me?"
25829I suppose I ought n''t to kiss him?
25829I suppose you mean you''re a bit sick of me, do n''t you?
25829I suppose,she said, prolonging a small sob,"you do n''t care what I feel about going to India?"
25829I thought you were staying over the week- end?
25829I thought,she said indifferently,"you liked that man you insisted on having instead of Lord Arlington at the wedding?"
25829I wonder if you like him?
25829I wonder,he said, leaning towards her,"would you mind very much if I kissed you?"
25829I''m sure, as a man of the world, you''d advise me to keep out of it, would n''t you? 25829 I''ve told you I''m married, have n''t I?
25829I-- I suppose he really is gone?
25829Is anything the matter?
25829Is n''t she all right as she is? 25829 Is n''t that what we damned well settled?"
25829Is n''t there any one else up here not going in for it that you could lick into shape?
25829Is that what you''re up to?
25829Is that worrying you?
25829Is there anything the matter with her?
25829It''s not much in your line, is it?
25829It''s not so bad as all that, is it? 25829 Keep away from me if you think I''m getting into trouble, because I sha''n''t be getting into trouble, I shall be getting out of it, d''you see?"
25829Life--he said,"yes-- well-- how do I know how much longer I shall have to bother about life?"
25829Might n''t it mean promotion?
25829Miss Marley,Claire began,"do you think it matters what people_ think_?"
25829No, but it only shows you that I''m much the most wicked, does n''t it?
25829Nonsense,said Lady Staines firmly,"I presume you wash your hands before dinner, do n''t you, you can get the dirt off then?
25829Now look at me-- if we did have trouble where''d I be? 25829 Now we''ll see what submarines can do;''member the Japs?"
25829Oh, I say, you know,he ventured,"you''re not playing very fair, are you?
25829Oh, Major Staines, you wo n''t toboggan?
25829Oh, come, you know,said Maurice, jauntily,"I''m not responsible for poor old Bouncing''s death, am I?"
25829Oh,she cried a little breathlessly,"you''re not going away, are you?
25829Oh,she said,"what are you going to do to me?
25829Only,she said,"up here there is n''t any mist, is there?"
25829Possibly she does, but what difference does it make to me when I do n''t know which times?
25829See you through being all right?
25829Shall I be a broken- winded, cats''-meat hack?
25829Shall I bother you if we talk a little?
25829Shall I go over and bring your brother to you? 25829 Tell me,"she whispered,"did you ever even think-- you liked her as much?"
25829That snow place?
25829That''s one point of view, of course,he said slowly;"but how do you know I want to have her more with me?
25829The question is,he said firmly,"can I make you do what we both want and what you are holding back from?
25829Then,she laughed,"I''m important enough to have my own way, are n''t I?"
25829Well, she sets out to be pretty, does n''t she?
25829Well, what about it?
25829Well, what else have you to suggest to me about my husband-- out of your friendship for me?
25829Well, you can see for yourself, ca n''t you? 25829 Well,"he said,"where''s Maurice?
25829Well,she asked at last,"what is it you want to talk about?
25829Well,she said,"what on earth am I to do?
25829What about me?
25829What d''you mean?
25829What do I have''em for? 25829 What do you intend to do?"
25829What do you mean by that?
25829What do you suppose they''d say?
25829What does that mean?
25829What news of Estelle?
25829What ought I to do, Major Staines?
25829What the hell do you expect to gain by it? 25829 What''s it to you whether I hurt her feelings or not?"
25829What''s that he says? 25829 What''s that?
25829What''s the boy done?
25829What''s up with those boys?
25829What''s up?
25829What,said Miss Marley, rolling another cigarette,"are your plans?"
25829When it''s over I''ll begin to think; but I need n''t really think till then, need I? 25829 Why are you anxious?"
25829Why ca n''t you shake a little sense into your wife? 25829 Why do you pity her?"
25829Why not? 25829 Why off to- night?"
25829Why should I? 25829 Why should I?"
25829Why the devil should I?
25829Why the devil should n''t we?
25829Why, how do you suppose you can stop me? 25829 Why?"
25829Winn dearest, do you know what I came down for this evening?
25829Winn,she asked in a whisper,"did you go because of me-- or because of you?"
25829Winn,she said,"do you love me enough for anything?
25829Wo n''t have it?
25829Would it,he asked quickly,"have made any difference-- about Lionel, I mean?"
25829Would you like to know,she asked,"what I''d really like for lunch?"
25829Would you mind opening your eyes?
25829Yes,she said;"why not?
25829You are Estelle, my dear, ai n''t you?
25829You ca n''t have a row with a piece of pink silk, can you?
25829You can take it if you''ve got it; but my point is, if you have n''t got it, you ca n''t take it, can you? 25829 You did n''t get a telegram, too?"
25829You did not act solely, I presume, from an idea of thwarting my suggestions?
25829You did, did you?
25829You like her, then?
25829You mean,said Lionel,"that it''s got too thick between you and Estelle?
25829You think we are going to have war?
25829You will help me with Maurice?
25829''Nuff to kill a horse-- where do they come from?"
25829A woman?
25829Ah, it''s there, is it-- then why the devil did n''t you give it me before?"
25829And Winn had gone into the house and asked Estelle what the devil she meant?
25829And had he missed it?
25829And might I suggest the carrying out of a few minor precautions?
25829And what good would it do you, my dear old chap, if I did?
25829And you''re going to marry my second son, ai n''t you?"
25829And you''ve got such a sharp way of speaking to waiters, perhaps you would n''t mind hauling him over the coals for me when he comes?"
25829Are n''t you glad you are alive?"
25829Are you sure you''re quite comfortable, and all that?"
25829Been with Bouncing?"
25829Before he had gone out of earshot Sir Peter asked Lionel what his father would do if presented with a possible daughter- in- law so markedly frail?
25829Besides, you see, she''s young; she''s got her life to live, and, then, ought I to have married her at all?
25829But I do n''t think they''d mind so awfully always, do you?
25829But has anybody ever owned up when they were being spiteful?
25829But he''s turned out well, do n''t you think?
25829But if she does n''t care for you, and you do n''t care for her, ca n''t anything be done?"
25829But that was n''t quite the point, was it?
25829But there''s no use making a fuss about it, is there?
25829But you feel all right, do n''t you?"
25829But you''ll come back again, of course?"
25829But, I say, look here-- will you ever forgive me?
25829But, Winn, do n''t you think that we could send for each other then?
25829By the by, are you married?"
25829Ca n''t tell what''s going on inside a pair of bellows-- can they?
25829Ca n''t you see the boy''s marriage has gone to pot?"
25829Ca n''t you see there''s a shower coming?
25829Can you?"
25829Captain Drummond, are n''t you going with him to stop him?"
25829Could n''t he have his bit of spring, his dance of golden daffodils, and then darkness?
25829Could real friends have laughed if they had minded parting with each other?
25829D''you mind telling me if you mean-- you care?"
25829D''you see my point?"
25829D''you see my point?"
25829D''you see?"
25829D''you understand?"
25829Did he have a bad time, poor chap?"
25829Did you want the boy to pick up with a baggage?"
25829Do I know more about the world or do you?
25829Do n''t you think that perhaps a smash, even of something you value, makes you grow?
25829Do you find I ever pay the least attention to''em, Sarah?"
25829Do you intend to stay all night here, or give me your promise?"
25829Do you know what I mean?"
25829Do you think I would have let them?
25829Do you think it''s fair?"
25829Does n''t the air make you feel awfully funny and happy?"
25829Dr. Gurnet had consented, though he had raised his eyebrows and said,"Pair- skating?"
25829Estelle listened thoughtfully for a few minutes, then she asked him if he did n''t think eight bridesmaids would be better than four?
25829For a few minutes neither of them spoke, then Winn said:"Had a jolly dance?"
25829Funny, is n''t it?"
25829Had any difficulty in extracting it?"
25829Had he concealed his marriage?
25829Had he played the game?
25829Had n''t he pulled off races on the scratchiest of polo ponies, when he could n''t afford better, out of sheer intention?
25829Have you quarreled with your friend?
25829He admitted Peter with a change of voice, and asked eagerly if things with lungs were hereditary or catching?
25829He could n''t get it out then; but had he tried again later?
25829He drew a deep breath, then he said:"Did n''t they talk about it?
25829He ought n''t to be missing a good skating morning like this?"
25829He was going; was it possible that there would be no farewell?
25829How about lunch at the Schatz Alp?"
25829How much does he want?"
25829How on earth was he going to stand a fortnight with her when he could barely keep himself in hand for five minutes?
25829I dare say there''ll be trouble later on, and then where''ll you be if you''re an invalid-- have you ever thought of that?"
25829I do n''t know how to put it quite, but if you never did what you thought wrong, would you ever know how big right is?
25829I do n''t know how you feel, of course; but-- well-- I''m sure you are n''t the kind of girl to let a fellow kiss you, are you, and mean nothing?"
25829I do n''t know that I ever mentioned to you I''m married?"
25829I do n''t know that I''m putting the thing straight-- but you know what she''s like?
25829I do n''t know whether you remember my asking you if you knew German?"
25829I do n''t think I''m fitted somehow for domestic life-- what?"
25829I have n''t an idea how it stands, but I''ve been afraid ever since I stayed with you, that you''d made a bit of a mistake over your marriage?"
25829I have n''t seen any one I particularly want to marry yet, if that''s what you mean?"
25829I hope you quite understand that?
25829I know it''s not your fault, but your being ill and my being away and all that?
25829I mean that horrid woman, Mrs. Bouncing in our hotel?"
25829I suppose you do realize how hard?
25829I suppose you think I am as unnatural and-- and temporary as our surroundings?"
25829I told him the other day how difficult it was to get up in the morning, and he said,''Well, then, why not stay in bed?''
25829I want you to marry her eventually-- d''you see?
25829I wonder if I''m going to be ill?"
25829I''ll tell you why I do n''t like her, Major Staines, and who she reminds me of, but perhaps you think her pretty, too?
25829I''m getting weaker every hour; do n''t you notice it?
25829If the world dared judge them, what did it matter?
25829If you once set off with Winn, do you suppose he''ll stop?
25829In about a fortnight?
25829Is anything the matter?
25829Is n''t everything heavenly?
25829Is that what you want?"
25829It is n''t worth while your climbing up the hill just to climb down again, is it?
25829It was fun rather than otherwise; you know what I mean?
25829It was n''t Winn''s place to say,"What the devil are you doing here, sir?"
25829It would be funny if I got well, would n''t it?
25829It would n''t be you that had got her?"
25829It''s her look- out of course, but I suppose she knows she''s running you into the Divorce Court, letting you go out there by yourself?
25829It''s no use fighting over things, is it?
25829It''s rather sickening, is n''t it?
25829Just gout and newspapers and sons getting up ideas about their lungs, but when do I complain?
25829Lady Staines said,"Well-- whoever said she had?"
25829Look at the Germans; we''ve worked considerably into them without seeing''em, have n''t we?
25829Look better, would n''t it?
25829Look here, have you ever had any ideas about love?"
25829Negresses or bar- maids?"
25829Not only for happiness, but, if we had to have dreadful things, enough for dreadful things?"
25829Nothing wrong, is there?"
25829Now are you satisfied?"
25829Odd how there can be two sorts of quiet, ai n''t it?"
25829Only, you know, the other people here are rather awful, are n''t they?"
25829Perhaps he had n''t meant all the nice things he had said or all the nicer things he had n''t said at all, but just looked whenever her eyes met his?
25829Probably you''ve lived in London all your lives?"
25829Rather nice idea, I think, do n''t you, what?
25829Rather odd, is n''t it, that you do n''t get as much as a tip about how jolly a thing could be till you''ve dished yourself from having it?"
25829Remember about the German and-- er-- do you ever flirt?"
25829Rum tale, is n''t it?"
25829Shall I write to him or will you?"
25829She waited for him to speak; but as he still said nothing, she asked with a sudden dimple:"Where does this path lead to?"
25829She''s got the money, has n''t she, and what have you got?
25829Sir Peter preferred this form of the question to"Is my boy going to die?"
25829Sir Peter was silent for a moment, then he said,"Any more children coming?"
25829So that he expected she''d have to teach him a lot-- would she-- if she did n''t mind, and overlook his being stupid?
25829So we''ll just be happy, wo n''t we?
25829So you see, do n''t you, that if either of us was wicked it was me?
25829Suddenly Lady Staines cocked a wintry blue eye in her son''s direction and remarked,"Why ai n''t your wife going with you to Davos?"
25829Suppose things had gone differently; that he''d been too late, and known his fate?
25829Surely he would not leave her without a word?
25829Surely there must be some touch of sentiment to this separation, horrible and inevitable, that lay before them?
25829That rather braces one up, does n''t it?"
25829That shows she noticed I was worse, does n''t it?"
25829The skating competition will just be over then, wo n''t it?
25829Then Claire said suddenly:"Oh, why did you make me hurt him when I liked him so much?"
25829Then Winn said quietly:"You are perfectly sure, Parsons, that Mrs. Staines told you it was_ my_ wish to have the hyacinths?"
25829Then she said:"Anyway, we can be quite happy for a fortnight, ca n''t we?"
25829There were no flowers flung upon them now, only hurried gasping questions,"Are they coming?"
25829There''s a story about this place-- I did n''t mention it to you before, did I?"
25829They might put that in the''Pink''Un,''might n''t they?"
25829Until half- time I thought I should get the better of you; but how did you get that devilish spurt on?
25829Was Claire perfectly safe?
25829Was it really coming, the place at which he would have to be stopped, after all her fruitless endeavors to get him to move in any direction at all?
25829Was it really possible that any one could blame Winn?
25829Was life less controllable than a shoddy polo pony?
25829Was love really like that?
25829We shall do all we can to help you, and then you''ll go back to England, wo n''t you?"
25829What I want to say is-- why not have a row?"
25829What about that dumb weight on his lips when he had tried to tell Claire on the Schatz Alp about Estelle?
25829What are you going to do about it?"
25829What becomes of domesticity?
25829What do you want to marry her off for?"
25829What does she want to go back to her people for?
25829What had he ever done that he could be judged?
25829What have they been lying about?
25829What have you been doing with yourself?
25829What is yours?"
25829What must they think of a wife they are never allowed to see?"
25829What on earth for?"
25829What was to be done against a man who did n''t skate, but tore, who fell upon a ball as a terrier plunges, eyeless and intent, into a rat- hole?
25829What''s marriage for?
25829What''s that he says?"
25829What''s that?"
25829What''s the danger of a country that talks thirteen languages, has no non- commissioned officers, and always gets beat when it fights?
25829What''s the use of saying good- by?
25829Whatever happens, you''ll remember that I''ve been an awfully lucky chap, wo n''t you?"
25829When I''ve got red hot needles eating into my toes, am I likely to like anything?
25829When do you want to attack?"
25829Where the hell''s that medical dictionary?
25829Who the devil do you expect your boys to marry?
25829Who wants concessions?
25829Who wants to be safe?"
25829Who wants to look at other people''s gardens except to find fault with''em?
25829Why are you still dressed?
25829Why ca n''t I?"
25829Why did she want Maurice to be like him?
25829Why did you go away?"
25829Why did you rush off, and what are you looking like that for?
25829Why do n''t you answer me, Charles, when I speak to you?"
25829Why do n''t you get something inside''em, Charles, eh?
25829Why do n''t you have more children instead of sitting sneering at me like an Egyptian Pyramid?"
25829Why have n''t they got a home of their own?
25829Why should he tell her anything?
25829Why the devil do n''t you get a Punch and Judy show down and be done with it?"
25829Will-- will that be all?"
25829Winn looked puzzled; it took him a few minutes to guess whom she meant, then he said wonderingly:"My wife, you mean?"
25829Winn said quietly, as if he said it to her every evening,"D''you mind playing for me, Estelle?"
25829Winn was silent for a moment, then he said,"I suppose you know I''m nearly done?"
25829Winn?"
25829Wo n''t you sit down?"
25829Would many fellows have had his chances and behaved as if they were frozen barbed- wire fences?
25829Would n''t that be splendid?"
25829You ca n''t help young men taking a fancy to you, can you?
25829You follow me?"
25829You know how things run on; and he''d been ill seven years, and one does like a little bit of fun, does n''t one?"
25829You know what I mean?
25829You mean you are n''t going to let me come with you down the pass?"
25829You must have virtue, the place has got to be kept up somehow, has n''t it?
25829You see, Maurice is so young in many ways, and our people having died-- he has n''t had much of a chance, has he?
25829You see, you''re awfully young; there are chances ahead of you, awfully decent other chaps, marriage--""And you,"she whispered--"you?"
25829You wo n''t blame him if I tell you something, will you?"
25829You wo n''t, will you?
25829You''re not--"her voice faltered suddenly--"you''re not angry, are you?"
25829_ was_ respectable or not?"
25829and stared at her while he fumbled at his collar stud; then he lifted his eyebrows and said"War- paint-- eh?"
25829she asked,"full of consumptives?
25829where''s family life?
19710''Ad''e a finance? 19710 ''Ave yer got a fag to spare?"
19710''Ave yer? 19710 ''E is, is''e?"
19710''Eard that?
19710''Oo are you?
19710''Oo''s there?
19710''Ow d''ye feel?
19710''Ow much were yer rushed for it?

19710A hundred and what?
19710A mine blown up?
19710A safe road?
19710A what?
19710After me she came and round to her side I''opped----"Who was on the other side now?
19710Always?
19710And the war started because it had to be? 19710 And you, Pryor?"
19710Any Donegal men in the battalion?
19710Any blisters?
19710Any more of the Section going out?
19710Any others struck?
19710Any volunteers to help to carry out wounded?
19710Any word of Mervin?
19710Anybody hurt?
19710Anything fresh from the seat of war?
19710Anything to report? 19710 Are ye dry?"
19710Are you Pat MacGill?
19710Are you going back to the trenches again?
19710Are you struck, Goliath?
19710Are you sure you''ve got everything you want?
19710At you?
19710Ay, and I sent him five back----( p. 237)"And did n''t do him in?"
19710Badly?
19710Bill,I called to the Cockney, who came by whistling,"what are you doing?"
19710Bill?
19710Blimey, what a stink,muttered Bill,"Why do n''t ye bury them up?"
19710But d''yer know what the stick was for? 19710 But did you ever fire it, son?"
19710But have we?
19710But what does it matter? 19710 Can we go out on the road?"
19710Certainly, what are the others doing, Bill?
19710Could we pot one?
19710Did I think three years ago that I should ever be a soldier?
19710Did they cross on the boats?
19710Did yer''ear''i m yell? 19710 Did you capture the trench?"
19710Did you hit it?
19710Did you not hear it?
19710Did you see the wild ducks to- day?
19710Digging trenches?
19710Do any of you fellows know Marie Redoubt?
19710Do you believe in God?
19710Do you hear the message?
19710Do you know where Bill is?
19710Do you know where the London Irish is put up here?
19710Do you think that God can allow men to go killing one another like this?
19710Do you want to kill men?
19710Do you wear two pairs of socks?
19710Do you work here?
19710First time up this way?
19710For my own part I am more afraid of----"What?
19710For what?
19710Going to bathe, Stoner?
19710Going to have a kip, Pat?
19710Going up to the slaughter line, mateys?
19710Gone?

19710Has the trench been captured?

19710How is that?
19710How many casualties have we had?
19710How much have you got?
19710How?
19710Hungry? 19710 I did n''t know you had fallen in love with the girl,"I said"How did it happen?"
19710I do n''t know why, but I feel strange,I said,"When did you come( p. 179) to this village?"
19710I was busy with Ginger----"Ginger Weeson?
19710I wonder whether we''ll have much bayonet- fightin''or not?
19710I''m gettin''more afraid of these things every hour,he said,"what is the war about?"
19710I''m''ere, old Sawbones,said Bill,"wot d''ye want me for?"
19710In a coal- mine?
19710Inniskillings?
19710Irish?
19710Is it better to be a living coward, Or thrice a hero dead?
19710Is it? 19710 Is that so?"
19710Is that what you fear most?
19710Is the army going to supply it?
19710Is the pantomime parapet manned?
19710Is there something to drink?
19710Is this not a night?
19710Is this the firing- line?
19710It is madness to remain here,she was told, and she asked"Where can I go to?"
19710It''s not that----"Did she answer your letter saying she reciprocated your sentiments?
19710Killed any one yet?
19710Killed?
19710Killed?
19710Killed?
19710Long over?
19710Looking for trouble, mate?
19710Made it well?
19710Madham mosselle,he said, lingering over every syllable,"I get no milk with cawfee, compree?"

19710Stopped a packet, matey?
19710Stretchers?
19710Territorials?
19710That''s done it,he exclaimed,"what the devil was it?"
19710That''s why ye did n''t join it then, is it?
19710The high jump?
19710The night of all the world?

19710What''s that?
19710What''s that?
19710What''s the calf- age?
19710What''s the difference between shouting the odds and shouting the blurry odds?

19710Will it?
19710Will ye have a wee drop of tay, my man?
19710Will yer? 19710 Will yer?"
19710Will you lead me to the place?
19710Will you?
19710Worse than that,he answered with a smile,"''Ave yer a cigarette to spare?"
19710Wot will we do for tea?
19710Wot''s that yer''ve got?
19710Wot''s wrong with it?

19710You''ve seen that bird at the farm in Mazingarbe?
19710''Ool foller me?''

19710''Wot gime?''
19710''Wot''s yer gime?''
19710( p. 096)"Is it true, Bill, are they''ere?"
19710( p. 170)"Did you think I was a shell?"
19710( p. 189)"That''s it, is it?
19710( p. 242)"Quiet?"
19710( p. 266)"Souvenirs?"
19710Albans?"
19710And you never got a scratch?"
19710Any news?"
19710Are her eyes bright?
19710Are her teeth pearly white?
19710Are they the brutes the papers make them out to be?
19710Are you from Chelsea?"
19710Are you going to destroy the London Irish root and branch?"
19710Are you just new out?"
19710Are you the orderly?"
19710But you''ll take care of yourself now, wo n''t you: and not get killed?
19710CHAPTER IX( p. 116) THE DUG- OUT BANQUET You ask me if the trench is safe?
19710CHAPTER XXI( p. 292) IN THE WATCHES OF THE NIGHT"What do you do with your rifle, son?"
19710Can we make the same proud boast?
19710Can you put an edge on the scythe?"
19710Did you see X. of---- Company coming out?"
19710Do they use dum- dum bullets?"
19710Gentlemen, are your glasses charged?"
19710Got me?"
19710Had I any cigarettes?
19710Had I seen the mine explode?
19710Had Mervin got clear, I wondered?
19710Had all been killed and were all those I had met a few days before in the garret when the shell landed on the roof?
19710Has she a fair brow?
19710Have another drop of tay?"
19710How are we goin''to sleep this night, Pat?"
19710How came I to be here?
19710How is your regiment getting along?"
19710How''s yer hoppin''it?"
19710I am not angry with them; I know little of the race; they are utter strangers to me; what am I to think, why should I think?
19710I belonged to the company holding the Keep, did I not?
19710I do n''t care for soldierin''as a profession?"
19710I have a brother----""The same bruvver?"
19710I queried,"what''s that?"
19710Is Bill Teake there?"
19710Is it quiet here?"
19710It might be our turn next, as we might go under to- day or to- morrow; who could tell when the turn of the next would come?
19710Let it come, blow me to atoms, tear me to pieces, what did I care?
19710My nerves were on edge and a coldness swept along my spine.... No, I was n''t struck...."All right, Pryor?"
19710Nark( confound) it, I say, Mad- ham- moss- elle, voo( what''s"give,"Mervin?)
19710Now and again he spoke and his question was always the same:"Are we near the dressing station yet?"
19710Of the glory or the horror of the war?
19710Of their friends whom, perhaps, they would never see again?
19710Of their journey and the perils that lay before them?
19710Ready?
19710See that woman?"
19710Shall we take them?"
19710The head cook copped it in the legs, both were broken, and Erney, you know Erney?"
19710The mine has done no damage?
19710Then round to the other side went I----""Which side?"
19710Then you''re comin''?
19710Then''e arst me:''''Ave yer seen much war?''
19710This was not the way out; why had we come here?
19710Was he asleep?
19710Was it Mervin?
19710Was it because you were alone you felt so very frightened?
19710Were they afraid of something?
19710Were we going back again?
19710What are you doin'', Feelan?"
19710What caused the German gunner, a simple woodman and a father himself perhaps,( p. 259) to fire at that moment?
19710What demon guided the shell?
19710What did it hold for us all?
19710What did it matter where a shell hit me now, a weak useless thing at the bottom of a trench?
19710What did it matter?
19710What did they dream of lying there?
19710What had happened?
19710What was I to do?
19710What was happening?
19710What was the history of that house and of the officers who sat down to dinner?
19710What were they going to do?
19710What would Bill think of him?
19710What would they say?
19710What''s the way back?"
19710When we meet he says,"What about the Caly, Pat?"
19710When''s sick parade?"
19710Where did she come from?
19710Where did the cries come from?
19710Where had I seen him before?
19710Where is here?"
19710Where were yer?"
19710Who am I that I should do it; what have they done to me to incur my wrath?
19710Who are you?"
19710Who can say?
19710Who had been struck?
19710Who likes it?
19710Who shall give an answer to the question?
19710Who was he?
19710Who was she?
19710Who were we?
19710Why did n''t ye have something better than water in yer bottle?''
19710Why did n''t ye take it then?"
19710Why did the men under the coffin walk so slowly?
19710Why did they not use a stretcher?
19710Why did they run so quickly?
19710Why do you say it?"
19710Why do you think of such a thing?"
19710Why had they kept us waiting?
19710Why was that horse allowed to remain loose in the stable?
19710Why were we here holding a line of trench, and ready to take a life or give one as occasion required?
19710Why were we there?
19710Why?
19710Why?
19710Will the tragedy ever be told?
19710Would any of us see the dawn?...
19710Would the dawn see us alive or dead?
19710Would they fall into the trench?
19710Would they speak?
19710You ask me if the trench is deep?
19710[ Illustration: Menu of the dug- out banquet]( p. 123)"Wot,"muttered Bill,"wot''s wrong with it?"
19710and I answer,"What about the Sou''West, Jock?"
19710asked questions:"Do your boots pinch?"
19710cried Bill, then asked,"What was the most wonderful thing you ever seen, Mervin?"
19710had the officer in front taken the wrong turning?
19710tell me Shan O''Farrel; tell me why you hurry so?"
19710that the Irish?"
19710who goes there?"
19710who goes there?"
19710will they ever stop this damned caper?
25923A private gambling club?
25923About my eye?
25923And did n''t a truck fall down the embankment and do some damage?
25923And how does that judgment come?
25923And spent it with your friends? 25923 And what would you expect me to do afterwards?"
25923And who''s Mignonne?
25923And you had enough already?
25923And you? 25923 And you?"
25923Are n''t you in town unusually early?
25923Are you all right, Jake?
25923Are you hiding something, Dick? 25923 Are you not?"
25923Are you sure I was n''t delirious?
25923Are you sure you did n''t give her too much steam?
25923Are you trying to be tactful now?
25923As much as, or more than, usual?
25923As you were seldom quite conscious until this morning, how did you know?
25923At the casino?
25923Brooding?
25923But did n''t you want to clear yourself and get taken back?
25923But do n''t you see you are admitting that he should n''t come?
25923But do you know the man he was with?
25923But do you make the deliveries ex- store tally with what went in?
25923But how are you going to get over the difficulty that you_ are_ what you call pushing? 25923 But how much late?"
25923But is that the only entry in your book?
25923But suppose we let that go? 25923 But this does n''t account for everything?"
25923But what about Payne? 25923 But what about your work?
25923But what does that matter?
25923But what does the fiesta they''re holding celebrate?
25923But what were you doing at the hospital?
25923But where is the job and what''s the pay?
25923But why has he gone? 25923 But why?"
25923But wo n''t you sit down?
25923But you do n''t think so?
25923But you surely do n''t mean to let the raider do what she likes? 25923 By a bribe?
25923Ca n''t you find something better?
25923Ca n''t you trust me to see this does n''t happen?
25923Can you remember how the cards went?
25923Can you see the tug?
25923Can you take me?
25923Concrete, in short?
25923Could I follow him to the mill? 25923 Could n''t you have fought it out?"
25923Did Mr. Brandon send you with these letters?
25923Did a tug and three coal barges put into your harbor last night?
25923Did somebody ask him?
25923Did you come straight here?
25923Did you get it? 25923 Did you go straight to Storeton from the hall?"
25923Did you hesitate again, after you knew you''d got the job?
25923Did you see Miss Kenwardine when you came for a game?
25923Did you see them cross the bridge?
25923Did you stay there?
25923Do n''t they call it sub- conscious?
25923Do n''t you practical people rather pride yourselves on being free from our complexities? 25923 Do n''t you see what you''re up against?"
25923Do n''t you understand that they ca n''t be straightened out?
25923Do n''t you?
25923Do n''t you?
25923Do they know when she left the last port?
25923Do you expect Mr. Kenwardine to meet you?
25923Do you know how they were lost?
25923Do you know much about her brother?
25923Do you know much about international law and how far it prohibits a neutral country from selling coal to a belligerent?
25923Do you know where the fellow is?
25923Do you know why he went so soon?
25923Do you reckon I''d pack dirt with a crowd like this if I could help it?
25923Do you still believe I took your papers?
25923Do you suggest that she''s dangerous, too?
25923Do you suppose I ca n''t feel it? 25923 Do you think Kenwardine was his partner?
25923Do you think he told them to send after Kenwardine?
25923Do you think it will drop at sundown?
25923Do you think we mind?
25923Do you think you''ll like your work?
25923Do you want me to hire the man?
25923Does his trouble end with the injury to his eye?
25923Does n''t it mean a petted child?
25923Does n''t it strike you that you''re urging conflicting reasons? 25923 Does n''t this remind you of something?
25923Does that account for your buying the pistol when you came here?
25923From whom?
25923Had n''t I another nurse?
25923Had n''t you better tell us whom you mean by''they''?
25923Has she returned yet?
25923Have I been sitting there all this time?
25923Have n''t you any autos yet? 25923 Have the Germans bought the Adexe wharf?"
25923Have you a cigarette? 25923 Have you a large chart of this coast?"
25923Have you a match, señor?
25923Have you another like the first?
25923Have you been to see her since you came back?
25923Have you got a gun?
25923Have you read his replies?
25923Have you seen him recently?
25923Have you torn off the top sheet in the last few days?
25923He thought he would make it awkward for you to come here, in fact?
25923Hold on, Jake,he said and raised his voice:"Who''s that?"
25923How can I go to sleep when I''m not sleepy and you wo n''t tell me what I want to know?
25923How can he defy you when he knows you can hand him over to the British authorities?
25923How can you find out things that bother you, unless you talk?
25923How did it happen?
25923How did the truck run off the line? 25923 How did you get in?"
25923How did you get in?
25923How did you guess? 25923 How did you hear about the matter?"
25923How did you hear of that?
25923How do you account for that?
25923How do you know when you have come to the line?
25923How do you know?
25923How much do you reckon she has discharged?
25923How will you force him?
25923How''s that?
25923I do n''t know that it''s important, but what''s the matter with them?
25923I do n''t suppose the fellow knows English, but shall I send him down?
25923I expect you mean-- why did I come without getting your servant to announce me?
25923I never heard of him, and perhaps I ought to explain----"What you came for? 25923 I suppose I may congratulate you on your recent promotion?
25923I suppose he wanted to know when the coal would leave?
25923I suppose you did n''t stop?
25923I wonder if you could get me something to drink?
25923I wonder whether she would see me?
25923In fact, you suspect the wine was doped after we went out?
25923Is he running this place as a gambling house?
25923Is n''t Richter German?
25923Is n''t that rather egotistical?
25923Is n''t this a change of attitude? 25923 Is that all?"
25923Is that you, Enrique?
25923Is there anywhere else to go?
25923Is your father at home, Miss Kenwardine?
25923It is very pretty, but why do you want to give it to me?
25923May I ask why? 25923 May I ask why?"
25923Need you ask? 25923 Not at Kenwardine''s?"
25923Not worth while?
25923Now,he said,"do you think it''s sensible to distrust a girl like that?
25923Now,said Jake rather sharply,"what was the shooting about?"
25923One may understand that as a compliment?
25923Profession comes first?
25923Right in thinking my house was unsafe for the lad, and in warning him that you and I were unfit for him to associate with?
25923Say, suppose you try her? 25923 Say, what do you think of this?"
25923Shall we go into the music- room, for a change?
25923Shall we play for half an hour?
25923Since you could n''t steal away, would n''t it have been better not to hint that I was anxious to avoid you? 25923 Suppose I own up that my tally''s got mixed?"
25923Suppose there''s something wrong with your bearing, or you ca n''t make good your course?
25923That''s a quick decision, is n''t it? 25923 That''s rather sudden, is n''t it?
25923Then I''m to understand she''s back in port?
25923Then do n''t you think you are a fortunate man?
25923Then do you know why he kept the letters back?
25923Then have you heard of any señorita, or perhaps a half- breed girl who has taken his fancy?
25923Then he has lost your friendship by taking Dick Brandon''s part?
25923Then suppose it does n''t drop?
25923Then there is a plot?
25923Then they take the dyewood off in boats? 25923 Then what does he expect to gain?"
25923Then where did you go next?
25923Then where has he gone? 25923 Then where is he?"
25923Then who is he afraid of?
25923Then who took the plans?
25923Then why did n''t you give me them when I was doing nothing this afternoon?
25923Then why did you call him?
25923Then why did you quit?
25923Then why do n''t you get it?
25923Then why not try Hamburg?
25923Then you got drunk at his house? 25923 Then you have begun to take your business seriously?"
25923Then you have got some coal? 25923 Then you have heard from my father?"
25923Then you have lived here before?
25923Then you have n''t let up yet? 25923 Then you knew Kenwardine meant to steal away?"
25923Then you know what happened?
25923Then you mean to run the risk?
25923Then you ran a risk of being killed?
25923Then you reckon it was n''t me they wanted the night my partner was stabbed? 25923 Then you trust the fellow yet?"
25923Then you will miss us?
25923Then you''re a bit of an artist?
25923Then you''re looking for somebody?
25923Then you''re not sure he meant to come back?
25923Think they do n''t know what cement is? 25923 Though he would not be much relieved to find you had come to my house instead?
25923To marry some gambling rake?
25923To whom do you propose to offer it?
25923Two hundred yards?
25923Was he hurt?
25923Was it his duty to ruin my father?
25923Was it your father''s notion that you should be an engineer?
25923Was n''t he with Oliva?
25923Was that done by Captain Maitland''s order?
25923Well, I guess I''ve had enough, but if you''re going on---- How do you reckon you''ll get through the shoals ahead?
25923Well,said Jake rather grimly,"what do you think would happen if a drunken man tried to walk along that pipe?"
25923Well?
25923Were you an officer?
25923What about the coal for the Fuller irrigation works?
25923What are you going to do about it?
25923What are you steering by?
25923What berths have you left?
25923What can you do?
25923What did you learn?
25923What did you remember?
25923What do you call yourself?
25923What do you expect? 25923 What do you mean by the''genuine article''?"
25923What do you mean by your not being the man he wanted?
25923What do you think of that young man?
25923What do you want?
25923What does he do in the morning?
25923What does your father''s character matter? 25923 What else could I think?"
25923What have you against him?
25923What have you been writing lately?
25923What is it you want?
25923What is your plan?
25923What kind of things?
25923What made him think we had?
25923What makes you imagine so?
25923What misfortunes has my father to fear?
25923What shall we do next?
25923What sort of a port is San Ignacio, and how far is it?
25923What was that about Adexe?
25923What were you doing in that room?
25923What would you reckon the weight of the stuff?
25923What''s the matter with Dick Brandon?
25923What''s the matter with giving him one? 25923 What''s the matter with it, anyhow?"
25923What''s the matter with the wine?
25923What''s the matter with your arm?
25923What''s the trouble, Payne?
25923When do you go?
25923Where am I?
25923Where can I get fresh water?
25923Where did you get the cement?
25923Where did you go?
25923Where did you learn to make these calculations?
25923Where do you expect to find it?
25923Where do you reckon it went, if it was n''t into the mixing shed?
25923Where does one buy cement in this town?
25923Where have you done your digging?
25923Where is he now?
25923Where is''here''? 25923 Where''s Kenwardine?"
25923Where''s his pyjamas?
25923Which you do n''t want to do?
25923Who are his enemies?
25923Who are_ they_?
25923Who is Don Martin, and does he own the coaling wharf?
25923Who''s that?
25923Who''s that?
25923Who''s the mulatto woman in black?
25923Whom did you expect to get?
25923Whose duty is it to check the storekeeper''s lists?
25923Whose house was it?
25923Why did Lucille call you_ ma mignonne_?
25923Why did he want to see them?
25923Why did n''t you call them first?
25923Why did n''t you put him into his own bed?
25923Why did n''t you tell me this earlier?
25923Why did n''t you tell me you were ill?
25923Why did n''t you warn the captain that his plan was found out, instead of jumping into the launch?
25923Why do you want him?
25923Why not Montreal or Cape Town?
25923Why was he anxious about the tug?
25923Why wo n''t you be warned? 25923 Why?
25923Why?
25923Why?
25923Why?
25923Why?
25923Why?
25923Why?
25923Why?
25923Why?
25923Why?
25923Will you have your luggage put on deck?
25923Will you tell your friends I''ll pay them out in full as soon as I can?
25923With the object of keeping you out of mischief?
25923Would it be safe to go in?
25923Would it make things any easier for you?
25923Would we go back to England?
25923You are afraid some of the others might take advantage of his rashness?
25923You blamed me? 25923 You ca n''t pay back the money you lost?"
25923You did n''t feel that before?
25923You do n''t like Santa Brigida?
25923You do n''t think I could find a carriage?
25923You do not think it was one of the peons employed at the dam?
25923You felt you had to promise the fellow a job because he butted in when the dagos got after you?
25923You have done some yachting, then?
25923You hit it on the back?
25923You knew what they said?
25923You know what they are?
25923You mean his views about the payment of one''s debts?
25923You mean that you blame my father for their loss?
25923You mean-- is she good enough for Dick? 25923 You took some wine at dinner?"
25923You tore it up?
25923Your nerve''s pretty good, but do you want to defy your enemies and show them you have found out their trick?
25923_ Quién sabe?_ The principal has not a German name.
25923_ Tinto''s_ a thin, sour claret, is n''t it? 25923 Admitting that her father makes a few dollars by gambling, can you believe that living with him throws any taint on her?
25923And now would you like some François Villon?"
25923And why did you hint that I must know you had n''t stolen the plans?"
25923Anyhow wo n''t you take the clasp?"
25923Anyhow, why did you buy the flowers?"
25923Are there any full bags not accounted for in the shed?"
25923Are you a judge of character?"
25923Are you going to rush past them, like a dull barbarian, in this kicking, snorting launch?"
25923Are you not needed at the dam?"
25923Are you quite sure you have n''t been writing about anything else?"
25923Are you sure you have made no mistakes, Dick?"
25923Are you sure you want it?"
25923As there''s none at Santa Brigida just now, where''s it coming from?"
25923Beckoning a peon who seemed to be the watchman, Dick gave him a cigarette and asked:"How far are they going to re- face the mole?"
25923Besides, are you sure you do n''t mean patriotic when you say parochial?
25923Brandon?"
25923Brandon?"
25923But I want to know why they''re not satisfied with tying my forehead up?
25923But I wonder whether your notion of relaxing is getting lax?"
25923But can you tell me where I am and how I got there?"
25923But do you find the grade awkward when she''s steaming properly?"
25923But do you like him?"
25923But have you and Señor Brandon only been molested once?"
25923But how did it come here?"
25923But how far can a country go in harboring a belligerent''s agents and supplying her fighting ships, without losing its neutrality?"
25923But since the latter had his formal consent, why had he not used it?
25923But still----""Suppose we do n''t think it a trouble?"
25923But suppose he imagined he might not be found out until he had done what he came to do?
25923But the sewer''s not finished yet; why did you quit?"
25923But then why did I tear your letter up?"
25923But what about the drawings of the new pontoons?
25923But what do you mean to do with Kenwardine?"
25923But what has this to do with your coming here?"
25923But what makes you think Kenwardine_ is_ dangerous?"
25923But why could n''t you leave the girl alone?"
25923But why did n''t you push the car?
25923But why did n''t you stick to the throttle and send your fireman?"
25923But why did you imagine that I should think your visit an intrusion?"
25923But why should anybody wish to injure your comrade?"
25923But you really think he has n''t sent her Kenwardine''s letter?"
25923Ca n''t you understand?
25923Ca n''t you, or wo n''t you, understand?
25923Can you get the letters?"
25923Could I marry my victim, which is what you are if your suspicions are justified?
25923Could the lad understand Clare so well unless he loved her?
25923Dick called his colored servant and asked him:"Why are all the lights burning, and what''s this mess?"
25923Dick decided to wait until he looked round again, and next moment Don Sebastian asked:"Have you plenty coal?"
25923Dick did not answer and, to his surprise, Stuyvesant smiled as he resumed:"It''s England first, with you?"
25923Dick said nothing for a minute, and then asked:"What''s Kenwardine doing in Santa Brigida?"
25923Dick told him after a short silence, and Fuller asked:"Two- thousand- pound tons?"
25923Dick was silent for a few moments with knitted brows, and then asked:"You have a Monroe Doctrine, have n''t you?"
25923Did Miss Kenwardine often pose for you?"
25923Did you examine the bags on the mole, Brandon?"
25923Did you imagine that your promotion depended altogether upon your planning trenches and gun- pits well?"
25923Did you leave home after the war broke out?"
25923Did you leave them behind?"
25923Did you tear up the letter?"
25923Do n''t you see that you ca n''t separate me from my father?
25923Do you believe it''s possible I stole and meant to sell the plans?"
25923Do you feel like taking the launch, Brandon, and trying what you can do?"
25923Do you keep money in the house?"
25923Do you know if your comrade has taken any part in political intrigue?"
25923Do you know of anybody whom your friend has harmed?"
25923Do you know why they''ve fixed this bandage so that it half blinds me?"
25923Do you think you''ve got it right?"
25923Do you want to see him?"
25923Do you?"
25923Does he go down there often?"
25923Does it strike you as curious that while you made yourself responsible for me I had to take care of you?"
25923For all that, his tone was resolute as he asked:"What was the brand of the cement you bought?"
25923Had you any other reason for modifying the construction plans?"
25923Had you anything to drink?"
25923Has he made trouble for you in other ways?"
25923Have n''t you been helping François, Fuller?"
25923Have you any opinion on the subject?"
25923Have you cashed it yet?"
25923Have you enough money?"
25923Have you got his promise not to play again?"
25923Have you reckoned what it costs to keep a locomotive two or three hours for the purpose of taking you to Santa Brigida and back?"
25923He turned to Dick and asked:"Do you know, Brandon?"
25923How is it I have n''t seen you about?
25923How long is it since you left him?"
25923How many molded blocks of the top course have we put down at the dam?"
25923How much do you know?"
25923However, you have had some accidents at the dam, have n''t you?"
25923I expect you heard about the collier tramp that was consigned to the French company at Arucas?
25923I guess you know I was put off this camp soon before you came?"
25923I reckon you can shoot?"
25923I suppose I must n''t ask you to forget the line I took?"
25923I suppose you know you were very ill?"
25923If Kenwardine had to be supplied with money, where did it come from?
25923If Kenwardine has bought the wharf, why''s he sending the coal away, instead of using it in the regular bunkering trade?"
25923In a way, of course, it''s plain that Mr. Fuller''s right--""But after all, building dams and removing rocks may very well come first?"
25923In fact, you warn all foreigners to keep their hands off?"
25923In the meantime, can you warn the captain?"
25923Is Mr. Fuller in the habit of disowning his debts?
25923Is he to hang around here nights with his gun?"
25923Is n''t it a rather extraordinary request, after what you said on board the launch?"
25923Is n''t it much the same when one gives the orders that shatter massive rocks and move ponderous stones?
25923Is that enough?"
25923It was obvious that a large quantity of cement would be required and Dick resumed:"Who is doing the work?"
25923Jake grinned as he promised and remarked as they went away:"Makes a good dueña, does n''t he?
25923Mr. Brandon obviously did n''t consult your wishes, but have you any idea what his object was in taking his very unusual line?"
25923Of course, we have n''t seen either of you often, but then----""You liked to feel we were within call if we were wanted?
25923Perhaps you know the latter''s jealousy about European interference in American affairs?"
25923Salvador brought a suit, and Dick, who dragged Jake out of bed, asked:"How did you get into this mess?"
25923She paused and added:"Mr. Brandon''s your cousin?"
25923She paused for a moment and added:"Do n''t you care what I might think?"
25923Sitting down at his table he asked:"Do you keep cement in your warehouse?"
25923Still, I suppose you see that if you''d been a moment later you''d have been smashed pretty flat?"
25923Stuyvesant granted it and Dick resumed:"Do you mind giving me a blank order form?
25923Suppose the Adexe coaling station was intended to be something of the nature of a naval base?
25923Suppose the Creole boy had lost his note or sent it to somebody ashore?
25923Suppose you send Mr. Fuller a note and ask him to dinner to- morrow?
25923That''s what I want to know?"
25923The man took out a note- book and while he studied it Bethune asked,"Will you let me have the book?"
25923The prudent course would be to fight against and overcome his infatuation; but suppose he found this impossible, as he feared?
25923The situation was only tolerable while he was very ill.""Why?"
25923The tug''s engines----""Has she got back?"
25923Then he went out and the storekeeper asked Stuyvesant:"What are you going to do with me?"
25923Then she asked with a level glance:"Why have you come to see me?"
25923Then suppose the owners of the station had learned that they were being spied upon?
25923They''re on our side, and his stuff is pretty good, is n''t it?"
25923What did you do with them?"
25923What do you think became of my note?"
25923What do you think of his manner?"
25923What do you think would happen?"
25923What do you think, Bethune?"
25923What do you think?"
25923What is she like?"
25923What will happen afterwards?"
25923What would they gain by that?"
25923What''s the matter with them, anyway?"
25923What''s your idea of the situation?"
25923What''s your opinion, Don Sebastian?"
25923When do you_ think_ the last blow was struck?"
25923Where are you going, Dick?"
25923Where did you shoot from?"
25923Where do you think of going?"
25923Where do you think she''s bound?"
25923Where has it gone?"
25923Where to?"
25923Where''s Don Sebastian?"
25923Who suggested this?"
25923Why did he interfere?"
25923Why did n''t he write to me?"
25923Why did you change when you were getting better?
25923Why do you ask?"
25923Why do you imagine the vessel you saw was an auxiliary cruiser?"
25923Why does a boiler prime?"
25923Why have you changed?"
25923Why should it make matters better if I''d owned to being drunk?"
25923Will you promise?"
25923Will you show me the cablegram?"
25923Will you take a cigar?"
25923Will you wait while I go to the telephone?"
25923Would any other folk except perhaps the Germans, couple an invitation with a hint that they were ready to trade?
25923Would that please you?"
25923You guessed the captain''s plan from what you heard outside the room?"
25923You have a motorcycle, I think?"
25923You have been attacked once already, I think?"
25923You have been here all the time?
25923You have seen Jake at his work; do you think he''ll make an engineer?"
25923You have seen it?"
25923You pumped up the water pretty high?"
25923You see how luck favors us?"
25923You see what this implies?"
25923You understand it will ruin me?
25923You''re convinced at last?"
25923You''re going on to the lagoon?"
25923You''re something of what they''re pleased to call a progressive, are n''t you?
27908A joke; and you say you''re not getting better.--I say, what were we talking about? 27908 A try?
27908About that? 27908 About the enemy?"
27908After I got out of the snow?
27908Ah, Sergeant, you here?
27908Ah, then he knows that fellow?
27908Ai n''t it wonderful, sir? 27908 Ai n''t it, sir?
27908Ai n''t them two chummy?
27908Ai n''t took bad, am I? 27908 All about what?
27908All about what?
27908All here?
27908All ready?
27908All right, sir; but ca n''t yer tell me what to do?
27908All right, sir?
27908All well?
27908And I ought to shoot as straight as I can, ought n''t I?
27908And after that?
27908And get into the valley on the other side, sir,''fore we go on east''ard?
27908And hide again, sir? 27908 And it do n''t matter, sir, now?"
27908And lastly?
27908And plenty?
27908And rob you all at such a time of need, sir?
27908And send out a few scouts?
27908And that you hit out and kick at people like that without being able to help it?
27908And the rain helps when they''re all in the clouds up there, I suppose, sir?
27908And we sha n''t go-- eh?
27908And what about them yonder?
27908And what about you, sir?
27908And what did I tell you about the old man seeing as far into a millstone as is necessary for being on the safe side?
27908And what did he say?
27908And when we were right up on that farthest peak last week, and looked north, what did we see then?
27908And you are no further with the Dwats?
27908And you do think he is, Doctor?
27908And you, Drummond? 27908 Any one hurt?"
27908Any one touched?
27908Anything else?
27908Anything wrong, sir?
27908Are they going to drive the flock into the courtyard?
27908Are we?
27908Are we?--Just, hark at him.--Where have you been?
27908Are yer, sir?
27908Are you asleep in there?
27908Are you better now?
27908Are you fellows fond of shooting?
27908Bad?
27908Be on the alert for a rush, and fire at once if you see anything.--You will have the gates opened, I presume?
27908Beg pardon, sir,puffed the lad;"would n''t you rayther lead?"
27908Beg pardon, sir; why not lay him on the stone again, and let him slide down easy? 27908 Behind, sir?
27908Better, Gedge?
27908Boys? 27908 Bracy worse?"
27908Bracy, are you deaf?
27908Bracy, my dear boy, you here?
27908Bring your gun?
27908Broken your eyeglass?
27908Bullet-- eh? 27908 But Colonel Wrayford,"said Bracy,"he declined, of course-- at once?"
27908But about you, sir? 27908 But all the snow melts away some time in the year?"
27908But do n''t you remember, sir, any more than that?
27908But had we not better go down and give the alarm?
27908But he said something?
27908But how are you?
27908But how in the world could he fight like the Doctor says he did?
27908But really, sir, do you mean to tell me that when your arm was laid acrost your chest you could n''t get it away?
27908But tell me-- the Dwats are collecting again-- are they not?
27908But the enemy?
27908But the news?
27908But the thing is what?
27908But the wound is not fatal?
27908But what about footmarks afterwards, sir? 27908 But what have you got here-- tiger?"
27908But what''s that you were saying about the enemy?
27908But where are they now?
27908But with a ridgement, sir?
27908But you are hurting me horribly; and ca n''t you see that, carrying me like this, you may receive the next bullet?
27908But you will not be hurt now? 27908 But, by the way, if we two are pig- headed, are n''t you rather hoggish-- hedge- hoggish?
27908But, say, sir, as we''re resting might n''t we just as well have a bite?
27908By the way, Gedge, have you noticed anything particular about Mr Bracy when you''ve been with him?
27908Ca n''t some of us come and help, sir?
27908Call, sir? 27908 Can yer roll off, sir, and lie on yer face?"
27908Can you give me some?
27908Can you keep him up?
27908Can you make out any strong body stealthily approaching, Mr Bracy?
27908Can you make out what they are doing, sir?
27908Can you see that?
27908Can you see them, Gedge?
27908Can you walk at all?
27908Charge through''em, or stop and let''em have it? 27908 Cold water cure-- eh, my lad?"
27908Cold, sir? 27908 Come now; what do you know?
27908Could I eat now, sir?
27908Could you eat now?
27908D''yer hear, sir? 27908 Danger?"
27908Dead?
27908Did I seem incoherent before?
27908Did I?
27908Did any one else see the enemy?
27908Did n''t hear what I said, did he?
27908Did n''t quite hear what you said, sir; safe from what?
27908Did n''t the doctor tell you?
27908Did n''t they get through?
27908Did n''t you say we must soon be thinking of shooting something for rations?
27908Did yer, sir? 27908 Did you do that, Bracy?"
27908Did you get home?
27908Did you hear the firing last night?
27908Did you hear what I said, sir?
27908Did you hit him, Gedge?
27908Did you? 27908 Die?
27908Directly, sir?
27908Disgrace myself, sir?
27908Do n''t think they''re after us-- do you, sir?
27908Do n''t you feel as if you want to shout?
27908Do yer, sir? 27908 Do you feel the cold, Gedge?"
27908Do you smell that?
27908Do you think I''m shamming, then, sir?
27908Do you think that I should let it go on if I could, Doctor?
27908Do you think the bullet is still there, sir?
27908Do you think, sir, I do n''t understand my profession?
27908Do you want me to look upon you as a contemptible cur?
27908Do? 27908 Does n''t it?"
27908Doing what?
27908Drink o''water, sir? 27908 Eh?
27908Eh? 27908 Eh?
27908Eh? 27908 Eh?
27908Eh?
27908Enemies of our visitors this morning?
27908Felt any more of that sprain, Smith?
27908Fight? 27908 Final?"
27908For me, sir?
27908For such mere boys?
27908From the east, sir? 27908 Gedge, are you going to fail me in this terrible emergency?"
27908Get picked off?
27908Get through? 27908 Getting pumped, pardner?"
27908Giving the men a lecture? 27908 Glad of it, sir?"
27908Glad?
27908Goats? 27908 Going?
27908Got it carrying Mr Bracy out of the fire-- eh?
27908Had n''t we better play the same game, sir?
27908Hard, sir? 27908 Have I said something stupid-- a bull?"
27908Have a bit to suck, sir?
27908Have n''t given them all they wanted, have we?
27908Have we had news?
27908Have we passed the rocks along which we saw that body of men moving?
27908Have you everything?
27908He proposed that?
27908He told you that?
27908Hear that, you black- muzzled old women? 27908 Hear that?"
27908Helpless and weak? 27908 Here, Bracy, what''s the matter?"
27908Here, Gedge, how are you getting on?
27908Here, I say-- what does that mean? 27908 Here, how am I to speak if you boys keep on interrupting?"
27908Here-- where is it?
27908Hero, sir? 27908 Hit?
27908How am I to go and leave the gov''nor when he wants me as he does? 27908 How are the supplies?"
27908How are you, my lads-- in much pain?
27908How are you? 27908 How are you?"
27908How can you expect the strength to come till the wound is healed?
27908How could I, sir? 27908 How could they distinguish between our shots and those of the enemy you can hear crackling?"
27908How dare I, sir?
27908How did you get it?
27908How do you know?
27908How do you know?
27908How do, nurse?
27908How far did I come down?
27908How has Mr Bracy been?
27908How high, sir?
27908How is it with them there?
27908How many men down?
27908How many men shall I lose?
27908How near?
27908How would this do?
27908How''s the sprain, my lad?
27908Hurt much, matey?
27908Hurt yer, sir?
27908Hurt, Drummond?
27908Hurt?
27908I do n''t like them games of the guvnor''s,said Gedge to himself.--"Guvnor?
27908I dunno,said another;"but ai n''t the wind cold up here?"
27908I say, old chaps, though-- you do n''t think I am rash, do you?
27908I say, sir,he said,"ketched me a spank right there.--Is my''elmet spoiled?"
27908I say, what do you think of that for a fit?
27908I say,he said,"does your Doctor always talk shop like that?"
27908I should have a bullet through him''fore he could lift his sword,said Gedge to himself;"but what''s the good o''that?
27908I suppose you have not had your two patients taken to the hospital yet?
27908I was not to question you? 27908 I?
27908I? 27908 If I can eat, sir?"
27908If they want to fight, why do n''t they come down and have it out like men?
27908In much pain?
27908Insult yer, sir? 27908 Is his wound serious, Doctor?"
27908Is it good up here?
27908Is it, sir? 27908 Is it, sir?"
27908Is the poor fellow off his head?
27908It is hard-- the worst of it?
27908It''s all right, sir, now, sir; ai n''t it, Mr Bracy?
27908It''s horrid, sir; but, begging your pardon, sir, how''s Mr Bracy?
27908Light cavalry?
27908Like him?
27908Like it?
27908Like it?
27908Like some more ice, sir?
27908Like we did, sir, when you three gentlemen come and whistled us from the side o''them falls?
27908Likely to be any bears, sir?
27908Look for yerself.-- Did n''t yer see, pardners? 27908 Lurch?
27908Me, sir? 27908 Me, sir?
27908Me, sir? 27908 Me?
27908Mean by what, sir? 27908 Mean by-- mean by what?"
27908More like the bleat of an innocent calf,said Roberts--"eh, Bracy?"
27908Much hurt?
27908My patients? 27908 My poor feet ai n''t froze hard, are they?"
27908News? 27908 No news, sir?"
27908Nor those chaps as was stalking us?
27908Not an attack, surely? 27908 Not badly hurt?"
27908Not by the mountains above the Gor Pass, sir?
27908Not by the''elmets, sir?
27908Not coming this way, sir?
27908Not hurt, I hope?
27908Not if we fired both together, sir?
27908Not try at any of the villages?
27908Not uppards? 27908 Not wounded?"
27908Now then-- the lid-- the lid-- and the strap through the buckle, and the buckle-- done it-- me go to sleep-- on dooty, Sergeant? 27908 Now, sir, what do you say?
27908Now, then, are you ready?
27908Now, then, where will they try to break in?
27908Now, what can I do?
27908Of course it does; but what is it, old fellow? 27908 Of course,"said Bracy rather vacantly--"in the night?"
27908Of course; and what is all that but a kind of waking ill- dream, which you invent and build up for yourself? 27908 Oh yes, I heard: but what do these fellows know about it?"
27908Oh, I see,said Drummond, smiling;"been lying in an awkward position, I suppose?"
27908Oh, could n''t he? 27908 Oh, do n''t I, sir?
27908Oh, do n''t I? 27908 Oh, is he?
27908Oh, that was it-- eh? 27908 Oh, that, sir?
27908Oh, then we shall have a better road to- day?
27908Oh? 27908 Once more, are you quite satisfied that you have selected the right lad?"
27908One of the party-- I think it''s the one with the scar on his face, but I ca n''t be sure--"Ca n''t you tell him?
27908Only tulwars and those horrible knives-- eh?
27908Orspital, sir? 27908 Ought I to go and warn that woman of his antics?
27908Our debt?
27908Our lads, sir? 27908 Pain?
27908Perfectly; but can nothing be done?
27908Play? 27908 Pleasant?
27908Quarter of a mile-- eh? 27908 Rats?
27908Ready for another, sir?
27908Ready?
27908Right in among the enemy, my lad?
27908Right, sir; I''m not grumbling; we''re a- going to do it; but do n''t it seem rum? 27908 Right, sir; but had n''t I better lie t''other side of you?
27908S''pose there''ll be a valley t''other side, sir?
27908Safe from what, sir?
27908Safe into camp?
27908Same sort, sir?
27908Say, gov''nor,he cried,"you''ve got a bigger stock than you''ll get shut of to- day.--Eh?
27908See Drummond just now?
27908See a bear on one of the hills?
27908See anything of them?
27908See anything?
27908See that green patch with the snow- pyramid rising out of it?
27908See us, sir?
27908See''em, sir? 27908 Sergeant, sir?
27908Shall I make a fire, sir?
27908Shall us, sir? 27908 Shall we have to go back, Sergeant?"
27908Shall you what?
27908She is quite well now, Doctor-- is she not?
27908Sir?
27908Sir?
27908Snow?
27908So you made a dash?
27908Something like them ways over the snow, like you goes for the bears and sheep, sir?
27908Sometimes? 27908 Standing on ceremony-- eh, gentlemen?"
27908Stiff, Gedge?
27908Suppose, while we''re lying in the snow, one or two of the ruffians come and stumble right over us?
27908Tell me this, though: are you satisfied to go?
27908Tell me, then: can you cure it? 27908 Thanks,"said Bracy.--"You hear that, Gedge?"
27908That mountain with a big point and a little un, sir?
27908That settles the question, then, as to route; but ought n''t we to have flankers out?
27908That was it-- was it? 27908 That you, Gee?"
27908That''s right; so you are,said the Doctor, who had just come to the door.--"Ah, Mr Drummond, you here?"
27908The beggars try to stalk you, then, sometimes?
27908The doctor? 27908 The show''s over; and look-- you can see that?"
27908The what?
27908Then there is something else?
27908Then there''s no fracture?
27908Then they''ve took the beggars''camp, sir?
27908Then why do n''t you try to brace yourself up-- be bracy by nature as well as by name-- eh? 27908 Then would n''t it be a good time for us to be having a refresher, sir?"
27908Then you do believe me now?
27908Then you do n''t think it''s anything to mind?
27908Then you mean to go on at once?
27908Then you still think that these are enemies?
27908Then you think they''ll renew their attacks, sir?
27908Then you will go with me?
27908Then you would n''t tell the Doctor about it?
27908Then you''re all right for provisions?
27908Then you''re hit by a stone?
27908Then, in the name of all that''s sensible, why do n''t you extract it?
27908Then, what more do you want?
27908There,he said to Drummond,"you heard that?"
27908There; what did I tell you?
27908They ca n''t see us here-- can they?
27908They''re regular curs, are they not, sir-- these Dwats?
27908Think so, sir? 27908 Think so, sir?"
27908Think so, sir?
27908Think there''s a tremenjus fire somewhere, sir?
27908Think they''ll rally, Gedge?
27908Think you could drop down with the stream and land somewhere near the fort to tell them how we''re pressed?
27908This fellow has not been assaulting you, has he?
27908Those boots right, Judkins?
27908Tight? 27908 To make tea or coffee, or to boil eggs, my lad?"
27908To make the rivers, sir?
27908To save yours, sir?
27908Too rich? 27908 Trouble, sir?
27908Very bad, Doctor?
27908Warn''t it, sir? 27908 Was I bleeding to death?"
27908Was I? 27908 Was it likely that I should take them at a time like this?"
27908Was it really well deserved?
27908Was it you who fired?
27908Was n''t it enough to make me weak, my lad?
27908Was that a signal?
27908We are n''t worse, are we, and all this a sort o''nightmare before we loses ourselves altogether?
27908We could keep them off by good shooting, Gedge, while it is light; but what about the darkness?
27908Well hidden, are we not, Gedge?
27908Well, I shall feel more comfortable when my Colonel knows-- eh, Roberts?
27908Well, Sergeant?
27908Well, ca n''t we?
27908Well, do n''t you want to know where we''re going?
27908Well, my lads,said Roberts, stepping to where the three men crouched gazing at the deep, rushing water;"feel strong enough to start?"
27908Well, not quite, but pretty frequently-- eh, Roberts?
27908Well, what are we waiting for?
27908Well, what is it?
27908Well, what of that? 27908 Well,"said Bracy faintly,"what do you make out?"
27908Well?
27908Well?
27908What about ammunition?
27908What about the messengers he has sent, Bracy? 27908 What about your men?
27908What about, sir?
27908What are those two fellows doing there?
27908What are you doing?
27908What are you going there for?
27908What are you going to do, my lad?
27908What are you going to do?
27908What are you laughing at?
27908What comes so soon?
27908What did he say?
27908What do you know about it, stoopid?
27908What do you know about such things?
27908What do you mean?
27908What do you mean?
27908What do you mean?
27908What do you mean?
27908What do you mean?
27908What do you mean?
27908What do you mean?
27908What do you propose doing now?
27908What do you say, Bracy?
27908What do you think of them?
27908What do you think of your patients this morning?
27908What does that mean?
27908What does the Doctor say?
27908What does this mean?
27908What for? 27908 What is going on now?"
27908What is it?
27908What is it?
27908What is it?
27908What is it?
27908What is it?
27908What made you laugh at such a time?
27908What old epitaph?
27908What superfluous fat?
27908What the dickens did you do that for?
27908What was that?
27908What yer swinging about half a mile away for? 27908 What''s a haverlarnsh?"
27908What''s he doing?
27908What''s that you''re thinking-- rather absurd to get out two companies to drive in a flock of sheep?
27908What''s that, Bracy?
27908What''s that?
27908What''s that?
27908What''s the matter?
27908What''s the matter?
27908What''s the meaning of this, sir?
27908What''s to be done?
27908What, and keep the Colonel waiting?
27908What, do you mean?
27908What, the Dwat you may call''ems?
27908What?
27908When you made that sound?
27908Where are the others?
27908Where are the pheasants?
27908Where are you hurt?
27908Where ha''you got to?
27908Where''s Gedge?
27908Where-- where?
27908Which way, sir?
27908Which you mean to be sarcastic?
27908Who told you that stuff?
27908Who''s going to tell tales out of school? 27908 Who''s this?"
27908Whom will you send, sir?
27908Why did n''t Drummond come to see me yesterday? 27908 Why do n''t they make him curnel?"
27908Why do n''t you ask me yourself, Judkins?
27908Why do n''t you, then?
27908Why does n''t Graves send out another company to cover us?
27908Why, Gedge, my lad, how are you-- how are you getting on?
27908Why, you vain peacock of a fellow, who do you think is going to notice the size of your head?
27908Why?
27908Why?
27908Why?
27908Why?
27908Why?
27908Why?
27908Why?
27908Why?
27908Why?
27908Will they-- won''t they?
27908With a regiment of raw boys?
27908With plenty of places for stone- throwers?
27908Wo n''t die-- will he, sir?
27908Worse, sir? 27908 Worse, sir?"
27908Worse? 27908 Would you have thought it so steep that he could have slithered away like that?
27908Would you mind having a look at the other two lots now, sir, to see what they''re doing?
27908Wound trouble you much still?
27908Wuth it, sir, every twinge; and as to being a hopeless cripple, what''s that so long as there''s plenty o''crutches to be had? 27908 Yes, Gedge,"said the young officer thoughtfully;"what next?"
27908Yes, is n''t it? 27908 Yes, sir, that''s it, ai n''t it?"
27908Yes, sir; not inside?
27908Yes,said Bracy thoughtfully; and then:"How long have I been lying here?"
27908Yes; and then?
27908Yes; but has he exhibited any of those peculiar phenomena?
27908Yes; did n''t you hear me hollering?
27908Yes; not big, is it?
27908Yes?
27908Yes?
27908You are quite strong now, Bracy?
27908You can tell the Ghoorkha Colonel--"Yes, sir?
27908You dare not extract it?
27908You did call to me, then?
27908You did n''t take those pills, then?
27908You did that?
27908You do n''t believe in all this being involuntary, Gedge?
27908You do n''t suppose I want to have the poor fellows cut or shot down to keep me busy-- do you?
27908You do n''t suppose I was going to stand still and let the wretches massycree my patients-- do you, Doctor?
27908You do?
27908You have noticed it?
27908You have women and children yonder?
27908You have your band, then?
27908You hear me, sir?
27908You mean that, sir?
27908You mean to stay the winter, then?
27908You others?
27908You spoke as if you did?
27908You think the enemy may make a rush, sir, as soon as the gates are open?
27908You think there is, then?
27908You think they mean to follow us up, Gedge?
27908You would n''t have gone and left me, sir?
27908You''re not sure, of course?
27908You''ve been in a tight corner, then?
27908Yus, sir, going; but what about coming back?
27908''Nother five hundred yards right for that lot o''twenty, and then slide off and open fire-- eh?"
27908''Saulting him, sir?"
27908A few close by are a bit shy; but, look here, when we get right up on the shoulder of that left- hand peak and look north what do we see?"
27908Ah, what does that mean?"
27908Ai n''t I just as likely to be shot if I stop quiet here?
27908Ai n''t I''bliged to keep ree- treating?"
27908Ai n''t going to croak, am I?
27908Ai n''t got froze, have you-- hands or feet?"
27908Ai n''t got such a thing as a doctor about yer, have you?"
27908Ai n''t got the stock skretched, hev it?"
27908Ai n''t hit, are yer?"
27908Ai n''t it really?"
27908Ai n''t this jolly, sir?
27908Ai n''t we come miles this morning?"
27908Aintcher got it bad enough as it is?"
27908All right, sir?
27908And what about you, Gedge?"
27908Any one there?"
27908Anything else?"
27908Are there any symptoms suggestive of what you hint at?"
27908Are these men quite alone?"
27908Are they patches of snow I can see in there among the trees?"
27908Are they well in hiding?"
27908Are you all right, sir?"
27908Are you hurt there?"
27908Are you in pain?"
27908Are you mad?"
27908Are you satisfied now?"
27908Are you shamming, or are you off your head?"
27908As big a man as old Gee?"
27908As to the risk-- is it not risk enough to stay?"
27908Be any use to begin, sir, like for signals to show we''re here?"
27908Be the death of you?
27908Beg pardon, sir; are we going to wade the river?"
27908Better soon; but, I say, did you fetch me in?"
27908But I say, old fellow, can you imagine it to be possible that Gee fell in love with that female dragon?"
27908But I say, sir, who''s hurt?
27908But after you got out of the snow?"
27908But are you mad?"
27908But do n''t you think we ought to make one try to get down to them, sir?
27908But do you really think that dodge would do?"
27908But it do n''t matter, sir-- do it?--not a bit, as the swelling''s going down?"
27908But no flam: can you really make out all that?"
27908But tell me; have I been asleep?"
27908But what about covering for our heads?"
27908But what can you see?"
27908But what d''yer think, sir?"
27908But what then?"
27908But what''s he going to do?
27908But what''s the matter?
27908But who are you?"
27908But why is it?
27908But you-- you?
27908But, I say, you two have n''t had much fighting, I suppose?"
27908By the way, though, have you noticed how splendidly our lads are behaving?"
27908Ca n''t be done, I suppose?"
27908Ca n''t hear what they say, I suppose?"
27908Ca n''t make out anything, can you?"
27908Ca n''t you see him tossing his head about?
27908Ca n''t you see it''s like a smooth wall, with the water running by it like a railway train?"
27908Can yer get out?"
27908Can you keep up, sir?"
27908Can you stop these terrible contractions?"
27908Can you suggest a better?"
27908Can you understand any of his lingo?"
27908Chess?"
27908Climb up the side somehow?
27908Come now-- didn''t you two think something of that kind too?"
27908Come now; when?"
27908Come, you''ll own that you''re well as ever now?"
27908Could n''t we steal a march on''em somehow, sir?
27908Did n''t I say there was life in a mussel?
27908Did n''t Mother Gee give me''em all ready for sewing up bandages and seeing to wounds?
27908Did n''t you hear from our messengers?"
27908Did n''t you see the Colonel put his tongue in his cheek and say,` Likely''?"
27908Did n''t you, sir?"
27908Did yer?"
27908Did you do that, sir?"
27908Did you see how he looked at me?"
27908Did you think I meant to stay here?"
27908Did you, my lad?"
27908Did you, sir?"
27908Did you?"
27908Do n''t say you''re hurt?"
27908Do n''t you see-- right in front, four or five hundred yards away-- those four men stalking us?
27908Do n''t you see?"
27908Do n''t you see?"
27908Do n''t you think we might edge in more towards the snow?"
27908Do n''t you think we''d better lie down behind some of the stones and pick a few of''em off as they come up?"
27908Do n''t you?"
27908Do tell me, sir; are yer all right?"
27908Do you hear?"
27908Do you know I have poor fellows in the next room in a precarious state?"
27908Do you understand me?"
27908Do you, sir?"
27908Does n''t it to you?"
27908Dropped my eyeglass, sir?
27908Feel as if I could drink like a squelchy- welchy.--Here, I s''y, where''s my rifle?"
27908Feel better?"
27908Find Mr Bracy better, sir?"
27908Get yer a drink, sir?"
27908Got the cartridges handy?"
27908Ha''they got any orspitals or doctors?"
27908Had n''t we better get right, into shelter?"
27908Had you any idea of it before this morning?"
27908Has he got a club in the bed?"
27908Has he kicked at you, or struck you, or done anything of that kind?"
27908Have they made us out?"
27908Have you got plenty of cartridges?"
27908He does n''t mean what he says-- eh, Morton?"
27908Hear me laugh, sir?"
27908Hear''em buzz?"
27908Hear''em puffing and breathing?"
27908Here yer are, sir; which''ll yer''ave, strorbry or rarsbry?
27908Here, I s''y; I went down, did n''t I?"
27908Here, I say, mateys, where''s my bay''net?
27908Here, what yer been doing to make my head ache like this here?
27908Here, who did it?
27908Higher than''Amstead, ai n''t it, sir?"
27908Hit him, sir?"
27908Holes?"
27908How am I to go on duty?
27908How am I to see my way?"
27908How are you, Bracy-- not hit?"
27908How can I be stronger when I am as weak as a baby, unable to move hand or foot?
27908How can one trust them?
27908How could he know we were ten thousand foot high?
27908How dare you play me such a trick as this?"
27908How dare you, sir?
27908How did you get on in the night, after you began to breathe again?
27908How many more times are we going to run the gauntlet and not get hit?"
27908How soon are we going to halt for a feed and rest?"
27908How''s your nut?"
27908How''s your wound?"
27908How, then, do you think our lads could get along below there?"
27908Hurt your head a bit-- didn''t you, sir?"
27908I could hear the war- cries.--Yes, Roberts-- the rascals worrying us again?"
27908I do n''t like this exit so close to the vertebrae.-- That hurt?"
27908I heered Sergeant Gee say we should be at it''fore long, and that these here-- what do they call''em?"
27908I know how you feel-- want to come and have another go in at the Dwats?"
27908I may go on doing up your leg, though?"
27908I never went to sleep-- did I, pardner?"
27908I say, I know you''ve got a mother, but have you any sisters?"
27908I say, I suppose we shall follow this stream right away now?"
27908I say, any more of these niggers coming in to make peace?"
27908I say, he''s a rum chap, is n''t he?"
27908I say, heard the news?"
27908I say, lads, how come they to have pipes like our fellows?
27908I say, sir, did you finish your rations?"
27908I say, though, have bears got tails?
27908I say, though, that ice- climbing in the mountains is splendid-- isn''t it?
27908I say, though, think we shall have a row?"
27908I say, though-- never mind that-- have either of you fellows a spare pair of boots?
27908I say, why do n''t he holler?--I could hear him a mile away-- or use his whistle?
27908I say-- think the bullet is still there?"
27908I say; I wonder whether pheasants feel the same as I do when they''re beginning to be driven to the end of a spinney?"
27908I think I can trust you, Gedge?"
27908I was walking up and down like a clockwork himidge.--Sleep at my post?
27908I''d a deal rather make caps with''em; would n''t you?"
27908I''ve been wonderfully successful with all my cases-- have I not?"
27908If every one had acted in that spirit, where should we have been all through India?"
27908If it is n''t so big now it''s getting better,''cos it was getting bigger and bigger last night-- warn''t it, sir?"
27908If they do--""Well, what?"
27908If you get the ridgement o''little chaps and saves the fort, it means your company, do n''t it-- Captain?"
27908Is he much hurt?"
27908Is it much farther?"
27908Is it too hot?"
27908Is n''t it disgusting for the poor fellows?
27908Is the flock coming nearer?"
27908It was, shall I be a goner?"
27908It''s waste of ammunition to fire from here, and-- Who''s that down?"
27908Larks-- eh?
27908Let''em in?
27908Looks more icy.--What say?
27908Me sleep at my post?
27908Mr Drummond would like to see, perhaps, how we arrange for our men who are down?"
27908Mr Drummond, I think?
27908Mrs Gee?"
27908My boys did n''t do that?"
27908Not let him sleep long?
27908Not sleep?
27908Now then, sir, what next?"
27908Now, can you explain to me why it was that as soon as I was marching by those poor women yonder I could think of nothing but my people at home?"
27908Now, then, what did you see?"
27908Now, then, what does he say to that?"
27908Now, what next?
27908Now, which of you, I wonder, will be the first to give me a call?"
27908Of course we must fight; and the sooner the scoundrels give us the chance the better-- eh, Graham?"
27908Oh, Mr Bracy-- sir-- ain''t-- half-- dead-- are-- yer?"
27908Order me to go?"
27908Our lads-- they ai n''t being cut up, sir, are they?"
27908Precious nuisance, is n''t it?"
27908Ready, my lads?
27908Ready, sir?"
27908Ready, sir?"
27908Ready?
27908Same as I said last night?"
27908See?"
27908Seen them?"
27908Shall I bring''em on?"
27908Shall I cut it or will you try and bear a wrench?"
27908Shall I?
27908Shall we ever get away?"
27908Shall we get to the wood?"
27908Shall we have it much worse by- and- by?"
27908Slep''?
27908So did he; did n''t you, Bracy?"
27908So would he-- wouldn''t you, pardner?"
27908Spoiled my lovely looks a bit-- eh?
27908Spoon?
27908Still, you have some confidences to make?"
27908Surely he is not going to trust them?"
27908Surely you have not chosen him for your companion?"
27908Tell me, can you control yourself when those fits come on?
27908The Colonel''s going to let a lot of''em come in and help do duty in the place-- isn''t he?"
27908Then Roberts spoke:"You can swim, Drummond?"
27908Then aloud:"That hurt yer, sir?"
27908Then the Colonel ai n''t retreating?"
27908Then you sews the top edges, turns the thing inside out, and--""Well, and what?"
27908Then, aloud,"How are you getting on there, my lads?"
27908There, sir, will that satisfy you?"
27908There, sir-- hear that?"
27908These thingamy Dwats have come down to make peace-- haven''t they?"
27908They''ll be all that before they get here-- won''t they?"
27908Think I''d cut away from one o''them black- looking, bed- gown biddies?
27908Think Sergeant Gee meant it, sir, or was it only showing off?"
27908Think they get through with the despatches?
27908Think they have seen us?"
27908Think they''ll attack us after dark?"
27908Think we could get right across now?"
27908Think we shall come back this way?"
27908Think you can?"
27908Toothpicks, our lads calls''em; and the little fellows the Toothpick Brigade.--Tired, sir?"
27908Voluntary action, do n''t you call it?
27908WHICH WAS BRAVER?
27908Want the glass?"
27908Want to drown him?
27908Was n''t it right?
27908Was there an attack?"
27908Watching those Dwats?"
27908We''re getting among the wild bees, ai n''t us?
27908We''ve got here.--How do, Captain?
27908Well, Bracy, my lad, wounds easier?"
27908Well, any news, Colonel?"
27908Well, then, draughts?"
27908Well, what next?"
27908Well, why not?
27908Well, you fellows will help us to do the work?"
27908Were n''t you?"
27908Were you in that explosion I heard?"
27908What about those boots?"
27908What about your sheepskin coat?
27908What are you going to do?"
27908What d''yer think o''that, sir?"
27908What did you expect me to say?"
27908What do you mean by that?"
27908What do you say to a game or two every day?
27908What do you say to dominoes?
27908What do you say, Roberts?"
27908What do you think that thick- lipped, black- bearded ruffian proposed?"
27908What do you think?"
27908What do you think?"
27908What does this mean?"
27908What for?
27908What has size got to do with it?
27908What have you got there, Jones?"
27908What is it?"
27908What makes you do it, sir?"
27908What next?"
27908What the dickens do you mean?"
27908What then?"
27908What yer want me to do?"
27908What''s a chap to do?"
27908What''s that?"
27908What''s the boss saying?"
27908What''s the good o''saying you could n''t help it, sir?
27908What''s the matter with you?
27908What''s the matter?
27908What''s the matter?
27908When am I to start?"
27908When ought I to start?"
27908Where is the lunch?"
27908Where''s Mr Drummond?"
27908Whereabouts is it?
27908Which way will you go, sir?
27908Who indeed?"
27908Who says hoky- poky?"
27908Who thinks you disagreeable?"
27908Who would n''t be a sergeant?
27908Who would n''t be a soldier of the Queen?"
27908Who''s a- going to halt with them firing at us like that from behind?
27908Who''s got my''elmet?"
27908Whom would you select-- the best you know?"
27908Why in the world does n''t he try another way to Ghittah?"
27908Why?
27908Will you come and look?"
27908Wo n''t be able to see''em much longer-- will you, sir?"
27908Wo n''t come back to fetch it-- will they?"
27908Wolves?
27908Would n''t have had a one- legged un in the ridgiment, sir-- would yer?"
27908Would you mind ordering me to see if there''s any bits left?"
27908Wound hurt?"
27908You boys had any sport to- day?"
27908You do n''t believe in these fellows, then?"
27908You do n''t expect to?
27908You do n''t mean that the Scotch and Irish pipes had their origin out here?"
27908You do n''t mean to say that you can see more in that direction?"
27908You do n''t think I''m wild and harum- scarum, do you-- regularly rash?"
27908You do n''t want to go?"
27908You hear, Mrs Gee?"
27908You heard about me getting in for it?"
27908You in white night- gowns?"
27908You understand?"
27908You wo n''t back out, will you?"
27908You would n''t play tricks with a fellow like that?
27908and if the snow- peaks were out of sight would n''t this be just like a Scottish glen?"
27908and tell you all the movements I can make out?
27908and was old Bracy safe?"
27908are you?"
27908cried Bracy;"the sergeant''s chevrons?"
27908down?"
27908he cried,"what''s come to him?"
27908he cried;"''most done?
27908he cried;"who, in the name of wonder, are you?
27908he muttered;"what do I care about''em now?"
27908if I only had a snug shelter and plenty o''cartridges I think I could stop that little game.--Hurt yer much, sir?"
27908or_ That''s a stinger_!-- was n''t we, Gedge, mate?"
27908people from the station come to meet us?"
27908said Drummond anxiously;"did you?"
27908said the Colonel; and then sharply,"What casualties?"
27908said the Doctor kindly;"try to move?"
27908sir; what game''s this?
27908that flashing in the sunshine?"
27908there is danger?"
27908this is your doctor, is n''t it?"
27908thought Bracy;"or have we been deceived?"
27908thought the young officer; and then,"Shall I get across alive?"
27908to get down below?
27908to keep him up, sir?
27908up on the ramparts?"
27908were you thinking that your master was a bit off his head?"
27908what does that mean?"
27908what is it?
27908what is that, Mr Drummond?"
27908what''s amiss?"
27908what''s that?"
27908what''s the matter?"
27908where are you taking us?"
27908who cares?
27908who''s to know what that means, with his` Yes-- no-- yes-- no''?
27908why ai n''t I got my rifle?"
27908why does it keep dark down there so long when it''s getting quite light up here?
27908would you?
27908yer own arm, sir?''
21311''Tisn''t--?
21311About water?
21311About what?
21311Ah, I see,he said,"you are Mr Vincent, I suppose?"
21311Ah, Salaman, is it morning?
21311Ah, Vincent, my lad, feel a bit sore after our gallop?
21311Ah,cried Brace;"you know?"
21311Ah? 21311 All here?"
21311Allowed? 21311 Am I doing right?"
21311And Lieutenant Haynes, the doctor, and Sergeant Craig?
21311And Sergeant Craig?
21311And if they had kept together?
21311And if we refuse to surrender, what then?
21311And some day a general, to command others?
21311And suppose the rajah takes me away?
21311And that I shall be a job for Dr Danby, and you will have to nurse me?
21311And that as an officer and a gentleman I ought to have knocked Barton down?
21311And the rajah? 21311 And the wretches who have done all this?"
21311And their English officers?
21311And then?
21311And this is to be a bit of practice for our men?
21311And what have you learned?
21311And what is that?
21311And what next?
21311And what next?
21311And what then? 21311 And when is he coming again?"
21311And when we are there?
21311And where are you going?
21311And who would fire the train, Haynes?
21311And yet how can I shake hands with you, rajah?
21311And you knew this?
21311And you let them gallop off,cried Brace, angrily,"to alarm their comrades?"
21311And you wo n''t leave me behind, sir, to the crows?
21311And you would be quite an old man before you became a general?
21311And you yourselves?
21311And you?
21311Any luck?
21311Any one seen him?
21311Anybody hurt?
21311Are there sentries in the gardens?
21311Are we going straight?
21311Are you a surgeon?
21311Are you allowed to knock people about like that?
21311Are you going to put any of that smarting stuff on?
21311Are you in much pain?
21311Are you pleased at what I propose?
21311Arm? 21311 Artillery?"
21311Ask a certain beautiful young lady what?
21311Asleep, Vincent?
21311At Delhi?
21311Awake, Gil?
21311Be quiet,he said, grimly; and then--"May I ask, Mr Barton, what this means?"
21311Better, my lad?
21311Better?
21311Better?
21311Brace says you have not been hurt, does he?
21311Brace, do n''t you know me?
21311But are you sure it is the party we are tracking?
21311But both regiments? 21311 But can you, Dost?"
21311But have you nothing more to say?
21311But have you sent messengers?
21311But how are we to get at the horses without being discovered?
21311But if the rajah, with his fugitives, meets the returning force, and they come back and attack us?
21311But is any one coming down?
21311But my boy-- wounded?
21311But ought you not to advance at once, father?
21311But suppose the rajah comes back to- night to try and surprise us?
21311But tell me this,I said eagerly;"where are our people now?"
21311But tell me this-- the fight yesterday?
21311But the jolting and shaking, my man?
21311But the major-- Lieutenant Barton?
21311But the major? 21311 But the rajah?"
21311But the risk?
21311But the sentries?
21311But the wounds-- the clawings?
21311But the young sahib does not want his great rewards?
21311But what are you going to do now?
21311But what can you do?
21311But what can you expect?
21311But what did it mean?
21311But what would the rajah say at your having people so near?
21311But when will you come again?
21311But where is Dr Danby? 21311 But where?"
21311But who-- who did all this? 21311 But why are you like this?"
21311But why have you let the chance go by?
21311But why-- why have the men mutinied?
21311But why?
21311But you are sure they stand fast here for the present?
21311But you could make out his horse?
21311But you will not go on to Arbagh, sahib?
21311But you?
21311But, Lacey, the nursing?
21311But, father,I said excitedly;"you can hold the place now?"
21311But,I said, hesitating, and afraid to hear the news, in case it should be very bad,"mother and sister Grace?"
21311By becoming my greatest officer?
21311Ca n''t I wash first?
21311Ca n''t you see the gent''s a horficer?
21311Ca n''t you take me with you, Dost?
21311Can any one suggest a ruse by which we could capture them?
21311Can it be possible?
21311Can we get across?
21311Can we have failed?
21311Can we trust him?
21311Can you all hear me?
21311Can you not see? 21311 Chupatties?
21311Come on?
21311Could n''t he bear the motion of the elephant?
21311Crushed-- scattered-- where are my friends?
21311Dead?
21311Defeated?
21311Did my lord call?
21311Did n''t you hear him speak?
21311Did that syce, Lieutenant Barton''s man, bring this just now?
21311Did the rajah say when he was coming again?
21311Did you make the end quite fast?
21311Did you see him?
21311Dirty finger?
21311Do I understand you rightly?
21311Do n''t drink, do n''t smoke, and I suppose you ca n''t ride?
21311Do n''t drink-- don''t smoke? 21311 Do n''t object to my having one, do you?"
21311Do n''t often have any one so thin and young as I am to measure for a uniform, do you?
21311Do you hear me, Dost?
21311Do you hear, Haynes?
21311Do you know why the fierce beast did not eat him?
21311Do you mean I am a disgrace to the troop?
21311Do you mean that as an insult, sir?
21311Do you see those two mounted men in white, with lances?
21311Do you see what they mean?
21311Do you surrender?
21311Do you think an English gentleman would make such a false promise, knowing that he could not keep it?
21311Do you think he is treacherous?
21311Do you think the first tiger I see will get into my howdah and maul me?
21311Do you wish him to manage that for you?
21311Do? 21311 Do?"
21311Doctor?
21311Does n''t it make your heart beat to hear the rattle of the wheels and the snorting of the horses? 21311 Does the sahib go to the hunt to- morrow?"
21311Drowned? 21311 Eh, morning?"
21311Eh, where? 21311 Eh?
21311Eh? 21311 Eh?
21311Eh? 21311 Eh?
21311Eh?
21311Enemies?
21311Fear?
21311Fight him?
21311Fight?
21311Fishing, then?
21311Gil!--your mother-- your sister?
21311Glad?
21311Going to charge, are n''t they?
21311Good night,I said, as he walked away;"however can it be a good night for me again?"
21311Hard? 21311 Have I been asleep long?"
21311Have I been asleep?
21311Have I not promised you enough?
21311Have we very far to go?
21311Have you a plan yet?
21311Have you doctored his scratches?
21311Have you found him?
21311Have you given him a bath?
21311Have you?
21311Haynes, can you suggest anything?
21311He is not worse?
21311Head ache?
21311Heard anything?
21311Help us? 21311 Here, what is it?"
21311Holiday, boy?
21311How can I tell, sahib? 21311 How can I?"
21311How could it end?
21311How could you? 21311 How did it come in?"
21311How did you escape?
21311How did you know there was to be a hunt to- morrow?
21311How did you manage to get up?
21311How do you know?
21311How do you know?
21311How far is Nussoor from here?
21311How far is it?
21311How far shall you follow them?
21311How is he?
21311How is the old man?
21311How long do you think it is now since they started?
21311How long have our men been gone?
21311How long have you been back home?
21311How long shall we stay here?
21311How long shall we stay here?
21311How long will the colonel be?
21311How many got back?
21311How many men have you on sentry?
21311How these old impostors of fakirs do deceive the people,I thought, as I glanced at Dost; then aloud--"Well, suppose I were sleeping?"
21311How was it?
21311How''s Brace?
21311How?
21311How?
21311Hurt yourself?
21311Hurt? 21311 Hurt?"
21311Hurt?
21311I am, am I?
21311I hope it will,I said;"but, I say, look here, Salaman, have you washed your hands since you touched him?"
21311I say, you do know some one in the India House, do n''t you?
21311I suppose we can do you no good, Danby?
21311I will hold my tongue directly,I cried;"but tell me this-- were you at the fight?"
21311I will not,he said firmly; and then, to change the subject,"How did you think our horses looked?"
21311I? 21311 I?"
21311I?
21311Into the court?
21311Is Colonel Vincent there?
21311Is Lieutenant Barton in his rooms?
21311Is he safe?
21311Is he worse?
21311Is it a big cut?
21311Is it a sword- cut?
21311Is it all my fault?
21311Is it any or all of these?
21311Is it near morning, Brace?
21311Is it not enough?
21311Is it so trifling a thing, that I should laugh over it?
21311Is it? 21311 Is my lord asleep?"
21311Is that a bullet wound?
21311Is that all, my brave, fire- eating captain? 21311 Is that something moving?"
21311Is the sahib strong enough to climb the rope?
21311Is there a town there?
21311Is there any news of the fight going on?
21311Is there anything wrong?
21311Is there anything you want? 21311 Is there something the matter?"
21311Is this some horrible dream?
21311Is this true?
21311Is this your friendship?
21311Is your sword sharp?
21311It is all over; but have I done my duty like a man?
21311It would be long years before you could command a troop?
21311Killed?
21311Left of them?
21311Let''s get out of here,said my new friend;"but had n''t you better change your clothes?"
21311Let''s see; you came over with Brace, did n''t you?
21311Like this?
21311Look here, sir,said the colonel;"have you ever read the Bible?"
21311Look there,I said, steadying my eyes with my hand;"is n''t that the rajah mounting?
21311Matter?
21311May I speak?
21311Must?
21311My clothes?
21311My horse, my Arab?
21311My lord is glad there is fighting?
21311My own uniform?
21311My wife-- her sister-- two of my little children-- the whole of the English residents, and-- Oh, why do n''t you pursue? 21311 News?"
21311No horses, I suppose?
21311No, I''m not ill."Then why do you look so strange?
21311No, my lord,said Salaman, humbly;"but what can thy servant do?"
21311No?
21311Not coming?
21311Not dead, father?
21311Not from your friend?
21311Not hit?
21311Not tell him you killed the snake?
21311Not tell the rajah about the snakes?
21311Not true?
21311Nothing?
21311Now tell me, what are we going to do?
21311Now, my lads, give way.--I say, how are you?
21311Now, sahib; ready?
21311Now, then, what next? 21311 Now, what is it?"
21311Of course I do,I cried passionately;"why are you so ready to condemn me unheard?"
21311Oh yes; but can you not see that I make you at once a great man? 21311 Oh yes; that''s all right,"I said;"but my arm: shall I ever get the full use of it again?"
21311Oh, Gil, dear brother,she sobbed;"must we all be killed?"
21311Oh, by the way,I said as indifferently as I could,"what about swords?"
21311Oh, why did n''t you rouse me?
21311Oh,shouted another,"how can we hold our hands after this, sir?"
21311On that little elephant coming up the valley; is n''t it one of our men?
21311Please, sir, may n''t we cheer?
21311Pleased? 21311 Put it down?"
21311Rajah? 21311 Ready to start, Dost?"
21311Ready, Gil?
21311Rut?
21311Salaman?
21311Satisfied, sir?
21311Searching the rooms?
21311Shall I bring in some food?
21311Shall I fire?
21311Shall I go, sir?
21311Shall I make them walk?
21311Short, sir?
21311Smartest, sir?
21311So soon, sir?
21311So we have run the rajah to earth, eh? 21311 Some dead animal?"
21311Soon got a job ready for me, then, Brace?
21311Sowars of the native cavalry; and that little half troop behind-- you can tell what they are?
21311Suppose I tell you that you must?
21311Swaddies?
21311Tell me this too; the rajah, will he be here to- day?
21311Tell me,I said quickly;"Captain Brace-- my troop?"
21311That makes your eyes sparkle, sir, does n''t it?
21311That the men of the native regiment meant to mutiny,cried Brace,"and did not warn us?"
21311That will do, wo n''t it?
21311The doctor, then; will he be here?
21311The first, then?
21311The holy man has gone?
21311The lancers-- where are the lancers?
21311The lotus flower?
21311The man who was with you just now?
21311The sahib wants his servant?
21311Then I am a prisoner?
21311Then I shall look out for a charger for you?
21311Then he has escaped?
21311Then he is n''t killed, sir?
21311Then he was not beaten and driven away?
21311Then how did you manage?
21311Then the English are not driven out?
21311Then the Hindoos do n''t like it?
21311Then there are troubles there too?
21311Then there is no one on guard in the day?
21311Then what do you propose doing?
21311Then what place is this? 21311 Then what will you do?"
21311Then what would you propose?
21311Then who did?
21311Then why did you bear it?
21311Then why does n''t he think the rupee is defiled?
21311Then why wish to go?
21311Then you accept?
21311Then you have been out in India before?
21311Then you know nothing of Nussoor?
21311Then you mean that he has gone away on his travels-- pilgrimage, we call it?
21311Then you refuse his highness''s mercy?
21311Then you think I have done very wrong?
21311Then you think it unjust, sir, that one so young as I am should get his commission?
21311Then you think they have stopped there to drill?
21311Then you were kept locked in the barracks?
21311Then you will give me what I ask?
21311Then you will lend us a dhooly for this man, and people to carry him?
21311Then you will put the plan in force?
21311Then you would like me to stop, and not go to the tiger- hunt?
21311Then you would not give them any arms but the cannon?
21311Then your master is going?
21311Then, pray, what''s the matter?
21311Then,I cried, snatching at the chance of escape,"if you knew I should be faithful, why did you propose such a thing?"
21311There, Vincent,said Brace;"what do you say now?"
21311Think so?
21311Think-- think it was that?
21311Those who love you?
21311Thought out anything?
21311Time to get up already?
21311Tired out?
21311Tired, Gil?
21311To be cut down-- slain, after I have taken such pains to save your life?
21311To certain death?
21311To disguise yourself as a fakir?
21311To me?
21311To my place? 21311 To plunder?"
21311To rush on your death? 21311 Too late?
21311Trouble, sahib? 21311 Trust?"
21311Unless help comes.--But you would move out?
21311Very tempting,said my father;"but is all this safe?"
21311Vincent, why do n''t you answer? 21311 Waiting?
21311Was he telling me travellers''tales about the crocodiles-- muggers, as he called them-- and the risk of bathing?
21311Well, Dost, what now?
21311Well, are you in the service, and going out to India?
21311Well, sir,he said shortly,"what is it?"
21311Well, sir,said the colonel,"have you a despatch or message?"
21311Well, what about him, sir? 21311 Well, what did he say?"
21311Well, what do you want?
21311Well, what is it?
21311Well, what then?
21311Well,I said, speaking cheerfully now,"what is your other news?"
21311Well,I said,"do you hear me?
21311Well,cried Brace, after a few explanations,"how is the major?
21311Well,he said gravely,"have you no questions to ask-- about your fellow- countrymen?"
21311Well,he said,"are you counting the tigers?"
21311Well,he said,"are you satisfied?"
21311Well,he said,"have you anything to say?"
21311Well,said Brace,"how are the spirits now?"
21311Well,said Captain Brace one evening, after we had had a run together on the shore,"what do you think of the Cingalese?"
21311Well,said my companion,"what do you think of our brigade?"
21311Well?
21311Well?
21311Well?
21311Well?
21311Well?
21311What about Major Lacey?
21311What about a night attack with lights and plenty of shouting?
21311What about the fighting? 21311 What about?"
21311What are they?
21311What are you doing here? 21311 What are you doing here?"
21311What are you doing?
21311What are you doing?
21311What are you going to do?
21311What are you going to do?
21311What are you laughing at?
21311What are you thinking?
21311What city?
21311What could that poor handful of men do against my thousands?
21311What did it say?
21311What do you make of them, Gil?
21311What do you mean?
21311What do you mean?
21311What do you mean?
21311What do you mean?
21311What do you say, doctor? 21311 What do you say, sir?"
21311What do you say?
21311What do you say?
21311What do you think of it now?
21311What do you want?
21311What does it mean?
21311What does it mean?
21311What does this mean?
21311What for? 21311 What has been the matter, Vincent?"
21311What have you decided?
21311What is a dood?
21311What is it, Denny? 21311 What is it?"
21311What is it?
21311What is it?
21311What is it?
21311What is it?
21311What is it?
21311What is it?
21311What is it?
21311What is it?
21311What is this? 21311 What is this?"
21311What news?
21311What regiment are you in, sir?
21311What shall I do, my lord?
21311What shall I do?
21311What shall we do, then?
21311What shall we do?
21311What was that?
21311What were you doing here?
21311What''s that?
21311What''s that?
21311What''s the matter? 21311 What''s the matter?"
21311What? 21311 What?"
21311What?
21311What?
21311What?
21311What?
21311What?
21311What?
21311What?
21311What?
21311What?
21311What?
21311When-- when did he go?
21311Where are the budmashes gone?
21311Where are the budmashes now?
21311Where are they now?
21311Where are you from?
21311Where did you hear the sounds?
21311Where is he?
21311Where is my servant?
21311Where is the rajah?
21311Where is the village?
21311Where is their regular officer, then?
21311Where shall we make for, Dost?
21311Where will the master be when I want to follow him?
21311Where would you have gone to- night,he said,"supposing that you had not fallen and killed yourself, or been cut down by my guards?"
21311Where''s Dost-- staying with the major?
21311Where''s your officer?
21311Where?
21311Where?
21311Which are Lieutenant Barton''s quarters?
21311Which was he doing?
21311Which will you do, Gil?
21311Who can eat at a time like this?
21311Who can ever trust a Hindu again?
21311Who can say, my lord? 21311 Who can tell?
21311Who is Dost?
21311Who is that? 21311 Who knows, my lord?
21311Who knows, my lord? 21311 Who told you that?"
21311Who was it rode me down? 21311 Who were on duty?"
21311Whom shall you send?
21311Why are you like this?
21311Why are you not asleep?
21311Why are you not gone, sir?
21311Why do n''t the lancers charge again?
21311Why do n''t they throw her a life- buoy?
21311Why do n''t you?
21311Why do you laugh?
21311Why do you say that?
21311Why do you wish to have these troops?
21311Why does he not act?
21311Why not come?
21311Why not have sent a messenger?
21311Why not yet?
21311Why not?
21311Why should I go?
21311Why should thy servant try to escape?
21311Why wait for the darkness, and the confusion it will cause?
21311Why were you hiding there?
21311Why wish to go?
21311Why, Craig, man,I said,"what is it?"
21311Why, Gil, lad,he said sharply,"what is it?
21311Why, hallo, Dost,I said, as I saw that the man was trembling,"what''s the matter?
21311Why, what is the matter?
21311Why, you did not want them to fight, did you?
21311Why, you do n''t mean to say that he loves our Grace?
21311Why? 21311 Why?"
21311Why?
21311Why?
21311Why?
21311Why?
21311Why?
21311Why?
21311Why?
21311Why?
21311Will he be safe?
21311Will he come to- day?
21311Will he go on to- day?
21311Will it kill him?
21311Will my lord have food?
21311Will my lord return to the tent?
21311Will you come at once?
21311Will you drink, sir?
21311Will you help me-- will you take charge of the guns at once?
21311Worse? 21311 Would it have bitten and poisoned me?"
21311Would it take very long?
21311Would my lord like a cool drink?
21311Would n''t it be better to stop till later? 21311 Yes, and is n''t it wonderful that so few Englishmen should keep so many millions of the natives in subjection?"
21311Yes, it is; you can tell me this-- what is your name?
21311Yes,I said dreamily; and then as I realised what had passed--"Did I faint?"
21311Yes,I said; but hesitated to make the request that rose to my lips, and deferred it for the moment;"where have you been?"
21311Yes,said Brace;"and how are you going to feed the poor beasts when you have them in the compound?
21311Yes; and what did he say?
21311Yes; and what then?
21311Yes; but tell me-- Captain Brace?
21311Yes; did you not know?
21311Yes; what do you want?
21311Yes; what is it?
21311Yes; what is it?
21311Yes; who are they?
21311Yes? 21311 Yes?
21311You are not upset, then, by your night''s experience? 21311 You are thinking as I have been for the last quarter of an hour, are you not?
21311You ask me that?
21311You believe that, Dost?
21311You can see them plainly now?
21311You did this, Dost?
21311You do n''t despair of overtaking them?
21311You do n''t think there is going to be war, do you?
21311You do not agree with me, of course?
21311You do not trust him?
21311You have killed him?
21311You have never seen one, I suppose?
21311You have put it in the sun?
21311You haven''t--? 21311 You heard?"
21311You know what I want, I suppose?
21311You mean to keep to that mad idea of yours, then, about recapturing the guns?
21311You promise this?
21311You refuse it?
21311You refuse, then?
21311You sail in three weeks, long before your father could get your letter, eh?
21311You see those, Haynes?
21311You think I need not mind sleeping?
21311You think so-- that the mutiny is widespread?
21311You think you could sit up now?
21311You think, then, that there is a wider trouble than that at the station?
21311You want to take me with you?
21311You wish it?
21311You wish to speak to me, sir?
21311You''ve heard, then, sir?
21311Your liberty?
21311A prisoner?"
21311About the country?
21311Acting on the impulse of the moment, I said aloud,"What''s that?
21311Ah, my dear fellow, what news?"
21311Am I not your surgeon?"
21311Anything wrong?"
21311Are you strong enough to walk or run with me many days?"
21311As I arrived at this pitch, I felt uncomfortable, for something within me seemed to ask the question--"Would n''t you?"
21311As we paused before one of these, I whispered--"Suppose we come upon them suddenly?"
21311At last, though, after lying quite still, holding my faithful follower''s hand, I whispered--"How did you get here?"
21311Back in his place by the great tree, or a captive taken away and condemned at once as a spy?
21311Brace was silent for a few minutes, and then he said sharply--"Look here, old man, you can walk?"
21311But about rations; how long can we hold out?"
21311But about you and the major?"
21311But had it been a success?
21311But have you no other clothes?"
21311But how?"
21311But suppose the wrong man received the blow?
21311But was it a note?
21311But what are you going to do?"
21311But what to do?
21311But will he not eat?"
21311But you must keep a strict watch over that temper of yours, eh?"
21311By the way, you know Captain Brace?"
21311Ca n''t you see what I want?"
21311Ca n''t you see what''s going on?"
21311Call?
21311Can I come with you as a sort of aide- de- camp?"
21311Can I get anything for my lord?"
21311Can I have a horse?"
21311Can you hear the horses?"
21311Can you?"
21311Colonel Vincent, do n''t you know me?"
21311Come, I ca n''t afford to have you ill.""Ill?"
21311Come, you are-- aren''t you?"
21311Could it be a body of sowars?
21311Did I go off in a faint?"
21311Did I not see you carry them off after I had captured them, and was training my men?
21311Did I pitch on to my helmet, then?"
21311Did he come, or was it a dream?"
21311Did n''t he say he was smoking?"
21311Did the men see me come in?"
21311Do n''t you see that it will require strength and dash?"
21311Do n''t you want to tog out?"
21311Do you feel-- well, to be plain-- frightened?"
21311Do you hear?"
21311Do you see?
21311Do you see?"
21311Do you tell me that you could not drill and teach my soldiers?"
21311Do you think I am a child because I have been forbearing?
21311Do you think we could safely take him on the ammunition- waggon?"
21311Do you understand?"
21311Dock water?"
21311Doctor, you will ride with him?"
21311Dost, tell me; the major-- where is he?"
21311Feel the sun too much?
21311Fond of shooting?"
21311Get back it''s use?
21311Going, Brace?"
21311Got your servants yet?"
21311Had n''t you better put me out of my misery at once?"
21311Had they failed to batter down the gate?
21311Had we not better go back and make a fresh start?"
21311Has he given you yours?"
21311Has n''t another quarter of an hour gone yet?"
21311Have I been ill?"
21311Have I been ill?"
21311Have I not seen you often?
21311Have you got it?"
21311Have you thought what it means?"
21311Haynes, will you follow me?"
21311He clapped his hands, and a grave- looking native in white entered, salaamed, and said softly--"Sahib?"
21311He has not been alarmed?
21311Hear him?
21311Here, who was your surgeon?"
21311His head?"
21311How are the sahibs to know where to get food or shelter, or to get news without me?
21311How are you?
21311How are you?"
21311How can I break my oath?
21311How can I call you less than` my lord''?"
21311How could I hold back?
21311How did he get hurt?"
21311How did it all happen?
21311How is he?"
21311How is poor Captain Brace?"
21311How to manage it?
21311How would it be to--""Eh?
21311How?
21311However did you learn to ride like that?"
21311Hurt?"
21311I asked; then, in a startled way,"He is not killed?"
21311I felt afraid that I was going to dislike him as one unworthy to be known, as I cried angrily,"But what can you do?"
21311I felt better at this, but I was damped down directly, for my man I had spoken to growled out--"Horficer?
21311I have not exaggerated, have I?"
21311I replied in a curiously faint voice--"better?
21311I said coolly;"what do you mean?"
21311I said excitedly,"is he wounded?"
21311I said, or does it mean anything?
21311I said;"that you wish me to be your chief artillery officer?"
21311I should have liked to ask,"What are you going to do?"
21311I turned away in misery, for, with the place so firmly watched, how were my friends to reach me?
21311I was making every effort possible, as soon as I heard through spies that you were alive, to rescue you; but when--""Well, when what?"
21311I whispered,"and will bring back others?"
21311If I was made a prisoner, had the guns been taken?
21311If aught befel my lord from the holy man''s curses, what should I do?"
21311If he does, shall I have strength enough to hold out, and refuse to promise; or shall I, at last, quite in despair, give way and act as he wishes?"
21311If the English were driven out of India, who would know or care anything about me?
21311If the horse comes to- morrow, shall we try and escape at night?"
21311If they saw my lord''s white face, they would fall upon him, and then when his highness came and said,` Where is my lord?''
21311Is it utterly impossible for you to live in unity with your fellow- students?"
21311Is my horse hurt?"
21311Is my rifle ready?"
21311Is the commission for the Horse Artillery?"
21311Is your pistol charged?"
21311Just then there was the clattering of hoofs, and an officer galloped up,"Where''s Colonel Vincent?"
21311Let''s see, what was your uncle?"
21311Like an escort to meet you?"
21311Look here, my friend; why do you want to get back?
21311No fear of their getting out?"
21311Not ill?"
21311Now am I right, lad?
21311Now do you ask me what I mean?"
21311Now, Dost-- ready?"
21311Now, gentlemen, are you with me?
21311Oh, why was I not there?"
21311Ought to be in your favour, eh?
21311Our people were not beaten?"
21311Prick him with the point of my sword?"
21311Rajah, you will let the hathees bear us back?"
21311Retreat and leave these scoundrels in possession?"
21311Sergeant Craig?"
21311Shall I describe it?
21311Shall I make him do it?"
21311Shall we try and escape to- morrow night?"
21311Shall we try to the right or the left?"
21311So you shall have a change.--Well?"
21311So you would be Ny Deen''s artillery general, eh?"
21311Stop; what are you going to do?"
21311Suppose there had been such a sudden rising at Nussoor, where my father''s regiment was stationed, what of my mother and my sister Grace?
21311Tell me,"I cried excitedly,"how did the fight end?"
21311Tell me,"he said gently,"do your servants attend you well?"
21311That door where the syces are with the horses?"
21311That man came and tempted you to go?"
21311That we are too late?"
21311That woman-- was she saved?"
21311The captain is following the enemy up to get back the guns and horses, of course?"
21311The doctor''s?
21311The little cakes?"
21311The question was, how could it be done?
21311The rebellion is widespread; but what of that?
21311The sepoys of the native regiment?"
21311The sun?
21311Then I''ll tell my servant to see that a bath is prepared; and, by the way, you have no servant yet, I suppose?"
21311Then aloud, with importance--"Is it shady where you have placed it?"
21311Then approaching me, he said humbly, and with a low reverence--"Will my lord grant his servant''s prayer?"
21311Then look here, Solomon, did you bury that great snake?"
21311Then the next best thing is to keep our men out of sight, Gil, eh?"
21311Then the troop; where was the troop?
21311Then to me:"Did you understand what he said?"
21311Then we move east at once?"
21311Then, as I lay there, confused and troubled, a fresh thought struck me-- the firing?
21311Then, as if remembering the great aim he had in view--"Did the scoundrels go up the valley toward the rajah''s?"
21311Then, turning to the old Hindu--"Is there no one left in the village?"
21311Then, turning to the rajah,"You will give us safe conduct down to your place?"
21311Then, turning to the sergeant--"You feel sure that the officers''horses are not gone?"
21311There are plenty of tigers, I suppose?"
21311To be killed by a snake?"
21311To take up your old position as a junior officer?"
21311Vanity?
21311Was he fighting?"
21311Was it likely, sir, that they''d think them enemies?"
21311Was that I?
21311We rose and followed him, the doctor whispering sharply,"Am I a non- combatant, Brace?
21311We''ve got to keep our fighting for the Queen''s enemies, eh?"
21311Well, how do you like Brace?"
21311Well, how do you like Rambagh?"
21311Well, perhaps so; but what lad of my years would not have done the same?
21311Well, what is it?"
21311Well?"
21311What about Sergeant Craig?"
21311What about him?"
21311What about riding?"
21311What about you?
21311What about your clothes?"
21311What are you among so many?
21311What are you doing?"
21311What are you looking at?"
21311What can I get you?
21311What did you do?"
21311What did you say?"
21311What do you mean-- the wounded?"
21311What do you say, Brooke?"
21311What do you say?"
21311What do you think of a little steel cap, something like mine, with a white puggaree round it, and a little plume in front?"
21311What does it all mean?"
21311What for?
21311What for?"
21311What for?"
21311What is going on now?
21311What is he about?"
21311What is it?"
21311What is it?"
21311What is it?"
21311What is the matter?"
21311What is their trouble, then?"
21311What rajah?"
21311What shall I do to wake him?
21311What shall I do?
21311What then?"
21311What was to be done?
21311What''s that?"
21311What''s the matter?
21311What''s wrong?"
21311What, then-- pistol?"
21311What, you in trouble again, Ny Deen?"
21311What?"
21311When am I to attack?"
21311When they did, I could only whisper huskily--"May I go to my guns?"
21311When would you like your horse?"
21311Where are they?"
21311Where can you flee better?"
21311Where is Captain Brace?"
21311Where was he?
21311Where would you make for?
21311Where''s Barton?"
21311Who could call him sahib when he is like that?"
21311Who else would think it was a secret sign?"
21311Who has been talking to you about Russia?
21311Who is in command here?"
21311Who is in the barracks now?"
21311Who is it?"
21311Who was that?"
21311Who''s there?"
21311Who''s to prevent it?"
21311Whom have you got there-- the rajah''s son?"
21311Why do n''t I act like a real` my lord,''and order these people about more?"
21311Why do n''t they get shot?"
21311Why do n''t you ride?"
21311Why does he not come?"
21311Why is this door fastened?"
21311Why, were you not occupying rooms in the rajah''s palace?"
21311Why, what do you mean?"
21311Will he come and see?"
21311Will my lord come to his tent?"
21311Will the colonel see them?
21311With that plan of yours for getting the guns and horses back?"
21311You accept?"
21311You agree with me?"
21311You are better?"
21311You are my officer, and--""You will have me killed?"
21311You do not wish for my guest to look-- there as you do now?"
21311You feel much stronger?"
21311You find that you are steadily growing strong up here?"
21311You have friends at home in England?"
21311You hear?"
21311You heard the firing?"
21311You heard?"
21311You know me?"
21311You like it?"
21311You mean to go on?"
21311You will accept?"
21311You will be brave, and bear what I do without being faint?
21311You will let me go?"
21311You will let us have these two elephants as far as Rajgunge?"
21311You wish to rise and become the chief of a troop of artillery?"
21311You would not wish to see me degrade myself?"
21311You, Vincent, can you propose anything?"
21311` An''what''s a moskayto?''
21311` Oh,''she said, in a hoarse whisper,` is thim moskaytoes?''"
21311a hospital?"
21311and had they limbered up and retired?
21311as a British officer in the service of a rajah?"
21311cried Brace, excitedly;"what is it?
21311cried the officer; and then, in a choking voice,"Why, Gil, my boy, is this you?"
21311do you think I keep you to do nothing but sleep?
21311for that?"
21311he cried;"not so well?"
21311he said sharply;"where?"
21311he said;"an accident?"
21311he said;"that lady?
21311how could I face his fierce wrath?"
21311how did you get on?"
21311how often am I to tell you to go to the visitors first?"
21311off already?"
21311one whom I trust in everything, and who will be next in my country to myself?
21311promoted?"
21311said my father;"come with me, or stay with the major who is in command here?"
21311said one of the gentlemen, smiling; but I was looking at the other, who was Captain Brace, as I said in a puzzled way--"Better?
21311so you want to get on active service again, eh?"
21311some fresh outrage?"
21311tell me,"cried Brace, as we pressed up to the men--"is it all true?"
21311the rajah?"
21311were the niggers mutinied too?"
21311what was that?"
21311what would my poor ould mother say, if she saw what I''ve done?"
21311what''s that?"
21311what''s this?"
21311what''s this?"
21311what''s up?"
21311where your father''s regiment is stationed?"
21311who are you?"
21311who was that?"
21311why could n''t they call you Solomon?
21311wounded?"
21311you ran that risk on purpose?"
