34369But where can it be hidden?
34369But who could be so mean, Dad? 34369 But who do you suppose conceived such a plan?"
34369But wo n''t that inconvenience both of you?

34369By the way, how do you explain the will made out in your favor?
34369By the way, what became of the newspaper today? 34369 Can I reach Brookport by train or bus?"
34369Come back and see us often, wo n''t you?
34369Could n''t we go to a hotel and come back in the morning? 34369 Dad, how did you get here?"
34369Did it strike you as queer the way Mrs. Leeds acted when I mentioned we were going to Raven Ridge tomorrow?
34369Did you have any luck today?
34369Did you know Jacob Winters well?
34369Did you leave milk at our doorstep this morning?
34369Did you never see him?
34369Did you notice his appearance?
34369Did you really think the will was genuine, Penny?
34369Did you say Raven Ridge?

34369Have n''t you anything better than this?
34369Hello, what''s the big hurry?
34369Honestly?
34369How did the organist reach the third floor if he did n''t pass through this door?
34369How did you get wind that Mr. Winters''ivories were kept in the house?
34369How did you happen to construct it?
34369How do you suppose it came to be there?
34369How should I know?
34369How would you like to take a little trip?
34369How?
34369I came to find out what you mean by entering Mr. Winters''house when he''s away?
34369I did n''t say so, did I? 34369 I mean, what are you doing in this house?"
34369I suppose it is nothing but a joke,Rosanna acknowledged,"and yet why should a key be enclosed in the letter?"
34369I suppose you thought it was n''t robbery when you decided to cheat Rosanna Winters out of her inheritance?
34369I suppose you were the ghost, Max?
34369I think it would be nice, do n''t you?
34369I wonder how old the girl is? 34369 I wonder if Raven Ridge will be as pretty as this?"
34369I wonder if by any chance she could have picked up your letter and key?
34369I wonder if it could have been that man who passed us on the road?
34369I wonder what Mrs. Leeds and Laponi were up to?
34369I wonder what evidence she referred to?
34369I wonder what got into him all at once?
34369I wonder why Caleb and Max Laponi were going at each other in such dreadful fashion?
34369If Mr. Eckert ca n''t tell us what became of my uncle, who could?
34369If you ca n''t produce the letter or the key, what proof have you that you actually are Jacob Winters''niece?
34369If you did n''t have a key how did you get into the house?
34369Including me?
34369Is Dad home yet?
34369Is he a known criminal?
34369It isn''t-- you do n''t think the house is haunted?
34369Ivories?
34369Jacob Winters is dead is n''t he? 34369 Just what is it that you want me to do?"

34369Locked?
34369May I ask where you found it?
34369May I see the letter which you say you received?
34369Miss Winters, may I speak with you a moment?
34369Mr. Laponi, has this girl lost her senses?
34369Must we stay here tonight?
34369Names?
34369No?
34369Now what shall we do?
34369Now what?
34369Oh, so you read about it?
34369Out early this morning, are n''t you?
34369Penny, what do you intend to do with that weapon?
34369Penny, where did you get that thing?
34369Placed there deliberately, you think?
34369Pray what do you find that is so humorous?
34369Queer noises?
34369See anything?
34369See anything?
34369Shall I call Mrs. Leeds and Alicia?
34369Shall we go on to Andover or stop at the Winters''house?
34369Should n''t we turn back?
34369Sleep well?
34369Sleep well?
34369So you have n''t got it?
34369So you noticed it too?
34369So you''re old Jacob Winters''niece?
34369Tell me, did you ever hear of a lawyer by the name of Elfhedge with an office at Brookport?
34369Tell me, is n''t there a pipe organ on the third floor of Mr. Winters''house?
34369Tell me, is that where old Winters hid his ivory collection?
34369Tell me, why did you write the letters?
34369The mysterious ghost?
34369The will?
34369The will?
34369Then why do you go up there again?
34369Then why were you upstairs at this time of night? 34369 Then you believe he is the one who has been frightening the household by playing on the pipe organ?"
34369Then you did get my wire?
34369Then you have n''t a key?
34369Then you heard it too?
34369They''re three dollars, are n''t they?
34369To see if your name was mentioned?
34369To watch for the ghost?
34369Trying to steal the Winters''booty, were you?
34369Visitors?
34369Want to come along?
34369Was he driving a gray coupà ©?
34369Well, what do you think of it?
34369Well, what is it you want to know this time?
34369Well, what is it you want to know?
34369Well, what''s wrong with the idea?
34369Well, why do n''t you look at it then?
34369What are you doing here, may I ask?
34369What are you doing in my house?
34369What are you going to do?
34369What became of that man who knocked me down?
34369What became of the collection?
34369What can I do? 34369 What did he collect?"
34369What did he look like?
34369What did you mean by asking about a paper she had burned?
34369What do you mean?
34369What do you want of a picture?
34369What do you want?
34369What else can we do?
34369What frightened you so?
34369What ghost?
34369What if something should happen?
34369What if we should run into that dreadful man-- the organist?
34369What is going on here?
34369What is it?
34369What is it?
34369What is it?
34369What is the meaning of this outrage?
34369What is the meaning of this?
34369What is?
34369What makes you think that? 34369 What makes you think that?"
34369What of the document I found in the drawer of the desk?
34369What other room can you give us then?
34369What place are you looking for?
34369What right have you to say what is to be done here? 34369 What shall we do?"
34369What sort of information?
34369What things?
34369What time is it?
34369What was that you said?
34369What were you saying?
34369What''s that?
34369What''s this?
34369What?
34369What?
34369When do we start for the station?
34369When do we start?
34369When will you send the wire?
34369Where are we to sleep?
34369Where are you going?
34369Where are you?
34369Where do you suppose he went?
34369Where do you suppose we''re going anyway?
34369Where will we go?
34369Where?
34369Who can it be?
34369Why did n''t you call in the police?
34369Why did n''t you send him away at once?
34369Why did you do that?
34369Why did you lock us out?
34369Why does n''t it open?
34369Why not leave this place today?
34369Why not visit this lawyer and have a talk with him? 34369 Why not?"
34369Why should I have a key?
34369Why should n''t I be?
34369Why should that bother him?
34369Why, Mr. Eckert, does n''t this call for some explanation?
34369Will it do us any good to remain?
34369Will the car fare be very much do you think?
34369With you?
34369You are a stranger in Belton City?
34369You are certain it was sent?
34369You are my uncle, are n''t you, Mr. Eckert? 34369 You counted a lot on the inheritance, did n''t you?"
34369You have n''t heard Mrs. Leeds or that Laponi fellow say anything about leaving have you?
34369You mean the imprint on the dusty surface of the organ bench?
34369You mean to say you did n''t hear the music?
34369You mean-- indefinitely?
34369You really do n''t mind?
34369You suspect that because you found the revolver in his room?
34369You''re his niece, are n''t you?
34369You''re not aiming to leave today?
34369After all, my uncle never saw me so why should he have left me any of his money?
34369Are you hurt?"
34369Are you the caretaker?"
34369Ashland is n''t very far from Snow Mountain, is it?"
34369But if he did n''t recognize us, why did he slow down and then speed up?"
34369But what can be the purpose behind it all?"
34369But what can we do about it?"
34369But what of it may I ask?"
34369By the way what''s in the box?"
34369By the way, did n''t the old man have a valuable collection of ivories?"
34369Could she have been mistaken in believing him to be the thief who had stolen the diamond ring?
34369Did n''t Mr. Laponi have proof of it?"
34369Did n''t you, Alicia, my dear?"
34369Did you ever hear of Raven Ridge?"
34369Had Mr. Winters written Rosanna''s name?
34369Have you had supper?"
34369I wonder if Mr. Winters did leave his ivory collection in the safe?"
34369If Mr. Winters''collection of ivory is still in the house, do n''t you think it should be removed to a safer place?"
34369Is n''t it exciting?
34369It is your decision to have no share in the spoils?"
34369Leeds?"
34369Leeds?"
34369Leeds?"
34369May I examine the will?"
34369Penny smiled broadly as she inquired:"Did n''t you enter into an agreement with Mrs. Leeds to defraud Rosanna?"
34369She asked carelessly:"I do n''t suppose your wire has anything to do with Jacob Winters or the estate?"
34369She directed her gaze upon Max Laponi as she questioned:"How did you learn that Mr. Winters kept the ivory collection in this house?"
34369This is n''t another of your jokes?"
34369Was the ring a valuable one?"
34369What if it too were locked?
34369What was he like?"
34369What would the night bring forth?
34369When did you send the wire?"
34369Who tore it out of the album?"
34369Why are you so interested in it?"
34369Why does n''t he play as he''s always done before?"
34369Why should Mr. Winters tell me where he kept his valuables?
34369Winters?"
34369Would he look out?
34369Would they be seen?
34369Yet who had played the joke upon Rosanna and for what purpose?
34369You did n''t see anyone as you came up the stairs to find me?"
34369You do n''t really mind?"
34369You have n''t a car of your own or one you could borrow?"
34369You remember the letter do n''t you, Penny?"
34369You surely do n''t intend to go away from here while she and her daughter are camped in the house?"
34369You told Mrs. Leeds----""Well, you''re not Mrs. Leeds, are you?"
34369You''ll not be afraid to go with me, will you?"
46375''Sweet''?
46375''Terribly thrilled'', are you? 46375 After what?"
46375And may we have Nell and Chick over to- morrow night, Cousin Di?
46375Any snakes?
46375Are n''t they? 46375 Are you afraid?"
46375Are you easily scared?
46375Are you rooming in the old part, then? 46375 Are you trying to burn up the house with a candle?"
46375But can we get out?
46375But did you look in Jan''s den?
46375But how did he get out? 46375 But what else does the ghost do, and who is the ghost anyway?"
46375Could Paulina have locked it by mistake?
46375Did I? 46375 Did the boys tell you to ask Nell and me if the ghost walked last night?"
46375Did you ever see my mother?
46375Did you find the ghost''s costume there?
46375Did you know my mother?
46375Did you know that you are going to have supper with us at home to- night, after our picnic dinner in the hills?
46375Did you see the light in the wall, Paulina, that night?
46375Did you sleep well in your new quarters?
46375Do you keep some things up here, too? 46375 Do you mind?"
46375Do you suppose that Jan ever found this?
46375Do you suppose that the boys could fool us in some way?
46375Do you think so? 46375 Do you think that a person would have to know you a long while first?
46375Do you think that my mother could possibly be alive somewhere?
46375Get ready to ride, wo n''t you? 46375 Get your box?"
46375Girls,said Paulina,"did you hear it?"
46375Has Ah got cake foh suppuh? 46375 Has Paulina keys?"
46375Has the''old Dutch house''stood since''way back in''Knickerbocker''times?
46375Have n''t you had any_ breakfast_? 46375 Have you seen yours, yet, Jannet?"
46375Honest, Paulina?
46375Honestly, Jan, did you ever hear or see anything strange?
46375How do you do, Uncle Pieter?
46375How long is it since my uncle''s second wife went away?
46375How old are you, Jannet?
46375How''s the bum back, Uncle Andy?
46375I did it once in a while, half for fun, too, to scare Hepsy and Paulina, but you never heard any of it, so why would your wife want me to do it? 46375 I know how you must feel,--sort of dazed, are n''t you?"
46375I still do n''t believe in''fortunes,''and neither do you, Mister Jan, but it is funny how they hit it sometimes, is n''t it?
46375I want to take something to your aunt, Lina, and to Miss Hilliard, and do you think it would be very piggy just to have this by ourselves? 46375 Is Chick a ventriloquist?"
46375Is it so that you have a workshop and everything, back where I room?
46375Is n''t a soul that I can see, Jannet,she said,"What has become of the ghost?"
46375Is n''t that strange? 46375 Is that so?
46375Is this''Who''s Who,''my daughter?
46375It ca n''t be true, can it? 46375 It''s a real''haunted house,''then?"
46375Jannet Eldon, huh? 46375 May I come in, Paulina?"
46375Nobody_ could_ have made them up and put them there, could they?
46375Now, who can Diana Holt be?
46375Oh, you know, Miss Hilliard, do n''t you, how I have been so glad for you and Miss Marcy and all my friends?
46375Oh,_ are_ you, Uncle Pieter? 46375 Really?
46375Say, Jannet,soberly said Jan,"may I be your second husband?"
46375See this little worn place, with the wood that gives a little? 46375 She helps clean Jan''s den sometimes, does n''t she?"
46375That other room just like this,--are you afraid to go in there?
46375The whole of it?
46375The women now use cigarettes, do n''t they?
46375Uncle Pieter, do you care if I go around the old house and find out all about it? 46375 Very wise remark, Nell; but do n''t you want to find out about it?"
46375Was the bed kept made up, that you knew you would find something?
46375Was there a light in the wall, too? 46375 Well, do n''t you think it possible, Uncle Pieter, that there is a secret passageway of some sort?"
46375Well,said Jannet, as they entered the room again,"shall we wake up Paulina and get things stirred up?
46375Were n''t the girls lovely, Miss Hilliard?
46375Were they playing tricks on you and Nell?
46375What are you doing, Jannet?
46375What are you, most noble ancestress?
46375What did Paulina mean,''over her head''?
46375What did mother tell you, Paulina?
46375What do you mean, child?
46375What does it mean?
46375What ghost would carefully take a blue comforter through walls and finally deposit it neatly, well folded, in the closet where it belongs?
46375What is Chick''s right name?
46375What is the matter with P''lina?
46375What room has been made ready for her, Diana?
46375What''s all this?
46375What''s on the other side of the chimney?
46375What''s that?
46375What''s the matter, Jannet?
46375What''s the matter, Miss Jannet?
46375What?
46375When did you first see Janet?
46375Where are the Van Meters buried?
46375Where have you been?
46375Where''ve you been all this time Miss Jannet?
46375Who can tell what the future will bring my girls?
46375Who is John, Cousin Diana?
46375Who is she, Paulina?
46375Who lives there?
46375Who told you? 46375 Who''s the girl?"
46375Who?
46375Whom are you going to invite, Janet?
46375Why did n''t you tell me all this before?
46375Why do I have Lucy, Jan? 46375 Why do n''t you ring, then, instead of getting in this foolish way?"
46375Why do you want to know that?
46375Why does n''t she take it to a bank?
46375Why should I?
46375Why, Mother,she softly said,"did you come,--at last?"
46375Why, do you?
46375Why, is she dead, too?
46375Why?
46375Why?
46375Will it interrupt your affairs too much, John?
46375Wo n''t it be fine to go to a home where you do about as you please, the way it is at your house?
46375Wo n''t we feel silly, Jannet? 46375 Would n''t his sweetheart marry him?"
46375Would you care, then, if the old wreck got hurt again?
46375Yes, how did you know that?
46375Yes, is n''t it? 46375 Yes, is n''t it?
46375Yes, is n''t it?
46375You are not afraid of Paulina''s ghosts, then?
46375You can scarcely get used to our gentle P''lina, can you, Jannet?'' 46375 You do n''t intend to send me away, then, till I get married?"
46375You were in the war, were n''t you, Cousin Andy?
46375Your courage is not quite up to that yet?
46375_ Can_ we have a party and dress up some time?
46375_ Why_ do n''t you think I ought to be here, Paulina? 46375 And what will your uncle Pieter say to us?
46375And where are the steps?"
46375And you never saw me or anything?"
46375Any other woes that you can think of?"
46375Are n''t you afraid of the ghost?"
46375Are you lonesome?"
46375Are you really going to take her something to- morrow, Nell?
46375But Jan, sha n''t we take something for the picnic?"
46375But they would be locked, too, would n''t they?"
46375But where could she put them if she took them from the desk?
46375But who would climb the balcony, other than Jan or Chick or some other boy?
46375But wo n''t it be wonderful to have some kin folks?
46375But you would n''t want_ me_ to go there with you, would you?
46375But you would not mean to cut me off from the people that have been so good to me, would you?"
46375By the way, Jannet, did you know that Andy mounted a horse and rode with me quite a little?
46375By the way, what perfume does Vittoria use?"
46375Ca n''t you?"
46375Can we have a talk?
46375Can you keep a secret, Nell?"
46375Could her uncle have taken them out by a sudden thought of surprising her with them some time?
46375Could it be possible that she had spent all Lina''s lesson period in looking at the books, reading the letters and thinking?
46375Could it be some joke?
46375Could it be, Jannet thought, so short a time since she left the school and came to Uncle Pieter''s?
46375Could it_ really_ be ghosts, that can go in or out of walls?"
46375Could that be your name, Janet?
46375Could there be a burglar?
46375Could there be a crack in the bottom?"
46375Did n''t your fortune say that you would lose something and find it again?"
46375Did she know that poem, or did n''t she?
46375Did the lady tell you that your uncle wants you to go as soon as possible to the Van Meter place in New York and make your home there?"
46375Did you know my mother?"
46375Did you know that I can ride again, Jannet?"
46375Did you like my mother, Paulina?"
46375Did you meet anyone in the halls?"
46375Did_ you_ know that I had a long talk with Uncle Pieter, and that I''m going to stay in the family and not go back to school?"
46375Do n''t you suppose she heard that moaning?"
46375Do the ghosts walk at night, especially when there is a storm?"
46375Do you like Andy?"
46375Do you remember anything about it?
46375Do you suppose that we could see the attic, too?"
46375Do you suppose we''ll have to be up here after_ dark_?"
46375Do you think that you have to do it?"
46375Do you want me to call you John or Jan?"
46375Does Jan know the story?"
46375Does this depress you, Janet?"
46375Don''yo''want to tas''the frostin''out o''the pan?"
46375Finally he said,"Do you remember anything else, Vittoria?
46375First, where were the pearls?
46375Had not Janet been in this school since her sixth year?
46375Had she not just acquired one?
46375Has you seen dat slick- headed gal Paulina takes around to help her clean?"
46375Have you been happy here, Janet?"
46375Have you been here all these years?"
46375Have you had that?"
46375Honestly, Allie May, is there a package for me?
46375How about Paulina?
46375How come you ai n''t been here befo''?"
46375How could any one enter there?
46375How did they lose me, I wonder?
46375How do you get there?
46375How long ago did this separation between her uncle and his wife occur?
46375How many things might have happened to them in these years, and why had not her mother been able to find them?
46375How would it do for you to call personally in a little while, after we hear Janet''s reports about her people?"
46375How would you like to have me take Janet there, or to Albany, rather, where Van Meter says she will be met?"
46375I believe that the pearls were there, and where could they have gone?
46375I can not think that any one could have taken my pearls, yet where_ are_ they?
46375I gather that the ghost has not offered to harm you in any way?"
46375I guess that you''ll get the long trip to Europe with your mother, and how about the''luck when you are found''?"
46375I guess we could squeeze through, could n''t we?"
46375I have n''t heard another sound, have you?"
46375I left it on the ring with the rest, or--""You say''she,''--how do you know that it is n''t''he''?"
46375I suppose, Jannet, that you have been trained to think that school hours are the only thing in the world worth keeping?"
46375I thought that Uncle Pieter wanted me to ride Ben?"
46375I was away,--what was the slip of paper?"
46375I''ll have to go to school some more, wo n''t I?"
46375If_ they_ were not afraid to be up there, why should_ she_ be afraid of the attic?
46375In a storm, who would hear them?
46375Is n''t he a queer old-- fellow?
46375Is this the stump of the old black walnut that nearly killed you when it fell?"
46375Jan telephoned the news to Nell and Chick and stopped Jannet in the hall one time to ask her,"How about the fortune that old Grandma Meer told you?
46375Janet, holding Miss Hilliard''s hand looked up into the kind eyes and asked soberly,"Do you suppose that really is my name, Miss Hilliard?"
46375Jannet continued,"Where''s Vittoria?"
46375Jannet''s fair hair, her quiet, sweet young face, the slender hand under her cheek,--who_ was_ this?
46375Mother must have died before my grandfather, so how could Uncle Pieter cut her out of her rights?"
46375No telling how soon the girls will come back,--but_ who_ locked us in, then?"
46375Now do you know everything you came to ask?"
46375Now, let me see, what were we going to talk about?"
46375Now, where below was there room for the rest of the secret chamber?
46375Oh, how can I do that?
46375Once when she was coming back from a ride, Uncle Pieter, also on his horse, rode up to her and asked,"Any sign of the pearls?"
46375Or was there such a thing as an unhappy ancestral spirit that wandered around at times?
46375Paulina opened it a crack and looked out with the expression of"who wants me now?"
46375Paulina says''Keep Out,''in large letters, does n''t she, Jan?"
46375Perhaps there are boxes of your mother''s in the attic, and there may be chests of bygone ancestors,--who knows?
46375Say, Paulina, who goes into the attic besides you and me?"
46375Second, who had played the part of ghost?
46375See?
46375See?"
46375Shall I look in a little later?
46375Shall we open it?"
46375Shall you feel like going if Uncle takes me traveling a little bit?"
46375She said,''what do we care?
46375She, too, suspected Jan, yet Paulina might have had a hand in it, and how about the maid, Vittoria?
46375Should she go back the way in which she had come?
46375Should she leave the pearls in the desk?
46375Should she tell her uncle about them?
46375So some of the girls have mothers and you want to know about yours?
46375That scrap must refer to the loss of the pearls, yet why should her mother_ write_ to her uncle about it?
46375That was the name of the girl,--so you are Pieter''s niece, then?"
46375The first adventure had been a pleasant one; but how would she fare with Paulina, whom she intended to"beard"in her room that evening?
46375The same old ghost, a burglar, or was Nell only startled at some little sound?
46375The"folks"expected to be out late anyway, and if the storm was too bad, who knew when they_ would_ get home?
46375Then Jannet drew her chair closer and said,"Now may I take time to tell you what has been happening?"
46375Vittoria was too young,--but_ was_ she so very young?
46375Was it a Dutch name, too?
46375Was it really her name?
46375Was n''t it great that her mother had a sense of humor and was smiling over the booklet?
46375Was that what Paulina meant, then?
46375Were there any other letters?"
46375What are we going to do up here besides the picnic lunch, Nell?"
46375What do you mean?"
46375What had Uncle Pieter said about her"having some rights in the home of her ancestors?"
46375What is it?"
46375What should she do first?
46375What time is it, Jannet?"
46375What was Nell saying?
46375What was it?
46375What was the use of doing it all to- day?
46375What''s the idea?
46375Where are the girls, anyway?
46375Where had she gotten the impression that her mother would be buried among the Van Meters?
46375Where has the child been, and what can you both tell me about my husband?"
46375Where is Uncle Pieter?"
46375Who do you suppose she meant when she told me to ask Uncle Pieter?"
46375Who had taken them?
46375Who was P.V.M.?
46375Who was here, then?"
46375Who was she?"
46375Who_ are_ you?"
46375Whose was it, so lovely with its surprised and tender smile?
46375Why did n''t Grandmother Eldon leave me some word about my mother?"
46375Why had Jannet not thought of that when she read the diary just now?
46375Why had n''t she asked Jan?
46375Why had n''t she told Nell to have Paulina take up the hunt with her?
46375Why should he send for me?"
46375Why should you not have it?"
46375Why, did they have snap- shots_ then_?
46375Why, whose pretty slippers were those by the chair?
46375Why?
46375Will I have the same allowance as usual?"
46375Will you get my horse ready while I dress?"
46375Will you mind if I get supper for us?
46375Wo n''t it be fun if I have?"
46375Would n''t you like that?"
46375Would you like that?"
46375You did n''t know that I''m a very fine cook, did you?
46375You do n''t worry about ghosts, do you Jannet?"
46375You feel pretty sure that it was she?"
46375You have always thought that the Janet came from your grandmother''s Scotch ancestry, have n''t you?"
46375You remember that wind storm, Nell?"
46375You were n''t with her all the time, though, were you, Janet?"
46375You will be afraid to go to sleep again, wo n''t you?"
46375You would think that I''d have loads of time, would n''t you?
46375_ Could_ it be Paulina after all?
46375_ Was_ she a Van Meter?
46375asked Janet suddenly,"John that spoke of the''ha''nts''?"
46375asked Paulina,"that blue comforter that I put on your bed?"
46375exclaimed Jannet,"that accounts for some of the noises in the attic, does n''t it?
23738A convent?
23738A lady with bright fair hair, colored like copper- bronze?
23738A-- man I know?
23738Ah?
23738All you have seen? 23738 Although, as to not holding you----""You fancy you hold me?
23738Although, it is rather near a stalemate for us both, is n''t it?
23738And abandon Desire Michell?
23738And all the divorce courts, Phil? 23738 And do you think Rossetti had no truth to base his poem upon?"
23738And the truth?
23738And what may be the explanation?
23738And you came back here?
23738And you will come to the farm soon?
23738And you yourself? 23738 And, Desire Michell?"
23738And, did you like the sight?
23738Anything going on so early?
23738Are you asking me to believe in witchcraft and sorcery?
23738Are you going to stay and hunt for the book tonight, then?
23738Are you sure, then, that it is not all this cabaret glamour you really are in love with? 23738 Because he has worn the uniform, then; proved his courage in war at sea?
23738Better than catnip, Bagheera?
23738But how can you be sure?
23738But how do you explain that Desire knew what I experienced with the Thing from the Barrier, if my experiences were merely delirious dreams?
23738But what are you going to do with her, man?
23738But what of me, Desire? 23738 But why?"
23738But will you not trust me to make a light and give what help I can? 23738 But you will come again?"
23738By what claim? 23738 By what right?"
23738Can you ask me?
23738Can you hear, Roger? 23738 Come, Phillida, you take my sane point of view, I hope?"
23738Cousin Roger? 23738 Cousin Roger?
23738Cousin Roger? 23738 Cousin?"
23738Desire,I said,"why should you be a sufferer for the actions of a woman who died over two centuries ago?
23738Desire?
23738Desire?
23738Did the runaway sister leave any children?
23738Did you know that? 23738 Did you take notice of what I do here?"
23738Do ghosts write?
23738Do n''t you see yourself one little, little bit, Cousin?
23738Do they, perhaps, have visitors there, ladies in retreat for a time, as convents often do abroad?
23738Do you judge she will?
23738Do you know of a lady who wears that scent?
23738Do you mean that you want me to go away from this place?
23738Do you mean to account by nightmare for the wide and repeated experiences that twice brought me to the verge of death? 23738 Do you remember the maxim we used to write in copybooks?
23738Do you suppose they will_ do_ anything dreadful about us?
23738Do you think that all the traditions and learning of the younger world meant-- nothing?
23738Do you?
23738Ethan, what was that?
23738Ethan, what_ are_ you talking about?
23738Expiation of what?
23738For so little, you would brave the Dread One in Its time of triumph? 23738 Gone?"
23738Good, Phil?
23738Has it not been so with all who loved the daughters of my race these two centuries past? 23738 Have none of you young people ever considered the singular emanations from swamps and marshes where rotting vegetation underlies shallow water?
23738Have we not met front to front these many nights? 23738 Have you spoken to such beings, Desire?"
23738He left children?
23738Here, Phillida?
23738Here, after my warning, after last night?
23738Here? 23738 How can there be wrong in facing a situation that I did not cause?"
23738How can you know?
23738How can you say that?
23738How could you tell? 23738 How could you?"
23738How did you happen to come in at this hour?
23738How did you know I was-- ill?
23738How do you know that, Desire?
23738How much do you both trust me?
23738How shall I answer you, Roger? 23738 How shall I make you understand?
23738How should I have harmed him, who came not near him, as ye know? 23738 I can keep you, then?"
23738I do not mean trust my character or my good intentions, but how much confidence have you in my sanity and commonsense? 23738 I, to take happiness like that?"
23738I? 23738 If as you say, this creature was not meant to meet mankind, how can It come after me this way?"
23738If he takes money to leave me?
23738If you are like other men and women, how can you know what happens when you are absent? 23738 Is it distrusting you to ask you to marry me?"
23738Is it not hard enough, my duty? 23738 Is it not victory to have driven back the Dark One?
23738Is n''t it funny, though, that he never will go into your room? 23738 Is n''t it lucky you and Desire could not get started in the car, after all?
23738Is not that an injury? 23738 Is that all?
23738Is there any other way?
23738It will come-- often?
23738Jealousy? 23738 Little?
23738Man, whenever man has summoned Evil since the youngest days of the world have I not answered? 23738 Man,"It spat,"would you see me?
23738Me? 23738 Me?
23738Might n''t you help the lady more if you went away now, and came back?
23738Mr. Locke, can you swallow some of this?
23738Mrs. Hill, did you ever hear of anyone named Desire Michell?
23738Music?
23738My hair pleased you?
23738No baggage?
23738No one at all like that-- with hair warmer in shade than ordinary gold color, and a lot of it?
23738No one who might be able to tell more than yourself?
23738No? 23738 No?
23738No? 23738 Not as sweet as this?"
23738Not even to believe that you will press the knife if I refuse to free you?
23738Not try-- to see me, even?
23738Not-- hurt----?
23738Notice what kind of water this is, Mr. Locke? 23738 Now that it''s a decent hour, do n''t you think Cristina might give us some breakfast?"
23738Now? 23738 Of what would you convince me?
23738Of what? 23738 Or did Mrs. Hill vamp you and make roast meat of your heart with her eyes?"
23738Or do you propose to shut her up in some third- class boarding house day and night while you hang around here? 23738 Perhaps you felt that shake- up, a quarter- hour ago?
23738Phil, do you put scent on your handkerchief week days as well as Sundays?
23738Phil, will you come home to your father and mother, and consider all this a bit more before you decide?
23738Puny earth- dweller, lost here,Its menace breathed,"what keeps you from destruction?
23738Puny from of old, how should you prevail? 23738 Pygmy, will you think of another pygmy now?"
23738Real? 23738 Really?"
23738See how nice?
23738Someone from your home town or your college town?
23738The book?
23738The convent?
23738The door is barred, but what shall bar out the Enemy who creeps to the nine lamps? 23738 The lake, Vere?
23738Then my nightmare was real? 23738 Then you are still happy?"
23738Then-- were they pretty dreadful to you at home?
23738Unless you are afraid I shall disturb your canaries?
23738Unless you have a choice?
23738Unless you wish me to go?
23738Vere, in your varied experiences in peace and war, did you ever chance to meet a coward?
23738Vere,I said abruptly,"did you know that I thought you were going to desert the farm, when you began to speak?"
23738Vere?
23738Was it?
23738Was there something I can do for you?
23738We are n''t ever going to give up?
23738Well, Vere?
23738Well?
23738What can I tell you? 23738 What crouches behind her, unseen?
23738What danger?
23738What did you think?
23738What does Vere say?
23738What gates?
23738What gates?
23738What have I to do with It, who am more helpless before It than you? 23738 What have I to do with Sir Austin, or he with me?"
23738What is happening outdoors?
23738What kind of a place?
23738What were the noises I heard from the lake, and the shocks we all felt?
23738What? 23738 What?
23738What? 23738 Where are you going?"
23738Where did you buy it, Cousin Roger? 23738 Who are you?"
23738Who are''we''?
23738Who is she? 23738 Who is?"
23738Who was she?
23738Why can you not come again?
23738Why do you tempt me?
23738Why does It hate me?
23738Why have you not spoken of this before?
23738Why not, Vere?
23738Why not? 23738 Why not?"
23738Why not?
23738Why not?
23738Why, how did your lazy, tune- spinning, frivolous cousin get that reputation in this branch of the family?
23738Why? 23738 Why?
23738Will it make them lay?
23738Will you die, then? 23738 Will you give it to me?"
23738Will you go to my chiffonier, there in the alcove, and bring a package wrapped in white silk from the top drawer?
23738Will you meet Phillida at the Grand Central and bring her home? 23738 Will you read, aloud, sir?"
23738Wo n''t you drink the brandy, please? 23738 Would you hear a story of a woman of my house, and her anger, before you doubt too far?"
23738Would you not live, pygmy?
23738Would you take the witch- child to your hearth? 23738 Yes, Roger?"
23738You believe my story, then? 23738 You came from there?"
23738You do n''t care for the lake?
23738You do not find it lonely here, or in any way depressing?
23738You had no luncheon, you say?
23738You like the place, Phil?
23738You mean-- hypnotism?
23738You observe that I have explained every point raised, Miss Michell''s testimony being of the vaguest?
23738You read of the Thing----?
23738You saw her?
23738You served in the war?
23738You trust him so much?
23738You understand, Cousin Roger? 23738 You who have felt Its grope toward your inner spirit?"
23738You will not?
23738You would n''t bolt from it, either, would you?
23738You would not leave me alone in this place, Cousin?
23738You''ll do it?
23738You-- value the braid so much?
23738You? 23738 You?"
23738Your father?
23738Your own theory, sir, being----?
23738_ But what crouches behind her, unseen? 23738 ''Measure a thousand times, and cut once?'' 23738 A clue? 23738 A healthy, normal life? 23738 A spirit or a woman? 23738 A thing of flesh and blood, or clever mechanism? 23738 A truth hinted at by alchemists, Pythagoreans, Rosicrucians, pale students of sorcery and magnificent charlatans, these many centuries? 23738 After all, why? 23738 All this eagerness pressing forward-- where? 23738 Already I had forced my way-- where? 23738 An embarrassment to her family, the heroine of a stolen marriage and Reno freedom, what chance of happiness would she have in her conventional circle? 23738 And Desire? 23738 And who has drawn back, Breaker of the Law? 23738 And why did not Phillida and Ethan suffer the nightmare with me?
23738And why was its owner locked in silence and immobility?
23738And, why?"
23738And-- a new thought!--was she alone in the house?
23738And-- and, will you tell Father and Mother?"
23738Are n''t you working yourself too hard?
23738Are there any interesting stories about the house?
23738Are we not pleasantly urged out of our heroics and into the normal by breakfast, luncheon and dinner?
23738Are you quite well?
23738Are you sure you can not help me at all?
23738Are you-- did I wake you up?
23738As for the book''s existence, I had only to accept guidance from It----?
23738As for the hair, is n''t that a matter of bottled polish and hairdressers?
23738At the fire on the hearth or the cold phosphorescence of swamp and marsh?
23738Basil, maybe?"
23738Because he had the glamour about him of real adventure and cabaret glitter?
23738Because he is strong and supple and has curly hair?
23738Before you go upstairs to him, will you tell me where to find that bookcase?"
23738Books or newspapers?"
23738Both; as each time before?
23738Brown like forest water, sort of green- lighted because the bottom is like turf; neither mud nor sand, but a kind of under- water moss?
23738But can you conquer again, and again, and again?
23738But does that sort of thing matter to you women?
23738But how can either you or I forgive the cruelty that took it from its owner?
23738But is there no knowledge not yet commonplace?
23738But now, what of Desire Michell?
23738But she has to come to me; it''s her right, do n''t you think?
23738But surely the lady was not vanished like the nightmare?
23738But the telephone wire came across the place right past the garage, you know----""The tree tore the wire down, too?"
23738But what sane man had nightmares like these?
23738But what was That just vanishing into the darkness beyond my window- sill?
23738But where, then, was I next to seek?
23738But you will admit the provocation to my curiosity?
23738But you, so rich in all things, free and happy-- how should it matter to you if a voice in the dark speaks or is silent?
23738But, are you fairy or automaton?"
23738But, how did she know of the Thing''s visit to me?
23738But-- in what land unknown to man towered the vast mountains in whose shadow I panted and strove?
23738But-- one servant?
23738By what swollen conceit could I hope to win against Them?
23738CHAPTER XVII"They say-- What say they?
23738Ca n''t we, Drawls?"
23738Could I bear the agony of Its presence, the stench of death and corruption that was Its atmosphere?
23738Could I care for this matter while I was here?
23738Could I meet that Thing tonight, and tomorrow night?
23738Could anyone fail to be pleased with that most magnificent braid?
23738Could n''t a note be left for her, telling her to come to us?"
23738Could that be what Desire had meant me to understand?
23738Could this rest and calm hold me content here, where I had meant merely to pause and pass on?
23738Cousin Roger----?"
23738Creature of clay, crumbling now in the sea of mortality, do you brave my immemorial age?"
23738Desire Michell, what has the Horror to do with you?"
23738Desire of mine and of the unhuman Thing, did we grasp at Eve or Lilith?
23738Did I fear to know the truth?
23738Did I hear a movement, or only a stirring of the orchard trees beyond the windows?
23738Did I imagine a slight uneasiness in those eyes, a wary readiness in gathered limbs and muscles bulking under the old cat''s scant fur?
23738Did I not hear a wistful reluctance in her tone?
23738Did Phillida allow him in the house, or not?
23738Did Something uprear Itself out there in the black fog?
23738Did Vere comprehend me better?
23738Did anything slip out over the window- sill when you were waking up?"
23738Did n''t you know that?"
23738Did the others share my repugnance?
23738Did the wind wake you, too?
23738Did you actually know what Roger experienced in these excursions before he told you of them?"
23738Did you measure it?"
23738Do n''t you know, Cousin Roger, that the most important things in the world are those most people never know about?"
23738Do not Ennemoser and many writers record it?"
23738Do you have to write your lovely music at night, Cousin Roger?
23738Do you not know what it means to take a gift from the Dark Ones of the Borderland?
23738Do you see nothing there stranger than a path through the woods even when trodden by a wilful woman?"
23738Do you think Mother and he ever will, Cousin Roger?"
23738Do-- do I look queer, Cousin?
23738Down-- shall your race affront mine?"
23738Drawls, will you light the alcohol lamp on the tea- table?
23738Eight hours?
23738Ethan?
23738Even in your world, does not evil hate good as naturally as good recoils from evil?
23738Even with your voice in the dark?
23738Flight?
23738For none of these reasons?
23738For what?
23738For what?
23738For whom?"
23738Good heavens, Vere, do you realize what either life would be for an nineteen- year- old girl brought up as she has been?"
23738Ha, was not Beauty the lure, and shall it not be the vengeance?
23738Had I brought with me or did I hear now a whispered:"_ Pygmy, again!_""Cousin, Cousin, are you very ill?"
23738Had I called or cried out?
23738Had I fallen so low as to heed the caprices of a pet cat?
23738Had I met one of these beings, inimical to man as a cobra, intelligent as man, hunting Its victim by methods unknown to us?
23738Had any of us the right to lay hands upon her existence and mould it to our fancy?
23738Had not my weeks of endurance earned me this right?
23738Had she a home, or did she need one?
23738Had the girl told the truth in her wild explanation?
23738Had the old- world trinket been left to bewilder me?
23738Had we ever really expected to go?
23738Had you chosen the place, or shall I?"
23738Have I not a right to curiosity?
23738Have I not brought my presence to the magician''s lamp?
23738Have I not injured you?"
23738Have I not shadowed the alchemist at his crucible?
23738Have you forgotten, Roger, that my life is not mine?
23738Have you not opened your mind to the evil thoughts that creep upon the citadel of strength within and tear down its power?
23738Have you not taken my gift that you might spy meanly on the secret of your beloved?
23738Have you read the writings of the learned Jew or of the Platonist, you who are so very bold?"
23738Have you seen it?"
23738Have you the power?
23738Have you, then, measured Nature?
23738He asked me:"Shall I get you out of this room?"
23738He is deceiving us, or mad''?"
23738Here, where It glooms, you have dared bring the high joy of the artist who creates?
23738How came a book to be written about the girl I supposed young, unknown and set apart from the world?
23738How can I describe the certainty of life that possessed me?
23738How can I find her?
23738How can I tell of a love that grew without sight?
23738How can you?
23738How convey to a listener that, understanding her so little, I yet knew her so well?
23738How could I do harm by learning what she was, unless she had evil to conceal?
23738How could I trust my enemy?
23738How could they feel what I had felt?
23738How dared I even hope for her return?
23738How did I know It stalked no prey but me?
23738How did I know this?
23738How did it come to trail across my bed, in any case?
23738How do some lucky girls have hair like that?
23738How do you know what passes between the Thing from the Frontier and me?"
23738How do you like your place?"
23738How does that strike you?"
23738How free us both?
23738How had she seen him?
23738How had they found out my condition?
23738How have you challenged and mocked It this very night?
23738How is that, Miss Michell?
23738How many men are written down liars because they traveled in strange lands indeed, and explorers, strove to report what they had seen?
23738How shall I describe Fear incarnate?
23738How should I find her?
23738How should I find words to embody it?
23738How, I wondered, could anyone be expected to credit the story I had to tell?
23738How, unless she too----?
23738I guess you like to do it, though?
23738I have one of the electric flashlights you bought for us all; see?"
23738I wonder, then, if you would mind if we stopped to see a show that I especially want to look over, for business reasons?
23738I''d like to know where a young city feller like you got that old story from?"
23738If I did meet her, would she forgive me the loss of her braid?
23738If I should speak, what would she do?
23738If I stood firm----?
23738If It did----?
23738If Phillida refused to consent to a divorce, how could she live at home as the wife of a man her parents had pronounced unfit to receive?
23738If she was the woman that she had seemed to be throughout our intercourse, how could the dark enemy control her?
23738If she yielded and gave up Vere, would she be much better off?
23738If so, which one would come first, and what might be my measure of success or failure?
23738If something moved under the water----?
23738If the monster is a ghost thing, may not she be one, too?
23738If the trial had been hard when mercifully unanticipated, what would it be to meet my enemy now that I knew myself conquered?
23738If we are to believe in such things at all----?
23738If we are to help each other, as I hope, would not plain openness be best?
23738If, therefore, ye shall have prepared yourselves, yet may escape----_"What did they mean, the old, old words men have rejected?
23738In town?
23738In what madness of panic had the girl sacrificed this beauty?
23738Is he not a soldier who, aroused in the night to meet dreadful assault, sets his face to the enemy and battles front to front?
23738Is n''t a braid of hair this wide,"I laid off the dimensions on the table,"this long, and thick, a good deal for a woman to own?"
23738Just us?"
23738Just-- curiosity?"
23738Light quietly filled the lamps-- or was it that I had opened my eyes?
23738Like a kind of earthquake, or the kick from a big explosion a long ways off?
23738Locke?"
23738Locke?"
23738Locke?"
23738Locke?"
23738Locke_ stage?"
23738May I not take her to dinner here in town?"
23738May I take her to tea, between trains, and get out to your place on the six o''clock express?"
23738May I?
23738No applause, no lights, no stage?"
23738No?"
23738Now tell me with what eyes you have seen the Barrier and the Far Frontier?
23738Now that you have seen him, you do understand?
23738Now that you know, can you bear with a man who-- limps?
23738Now, is n''t that a jumbled speech to tumble out of me?"
23738Now---- She spoke with a breathless difficulty, spacing her words apart:"How did you-- find-- the book?"
23738Of what?
23738Oh man, with all the unfathomed universe about us,_ dare_ you pronounce what is real?"
23738Once frightened away, how could she be found?
23738Only my ignorance?
23738Only, do tell me what the perfume is?"
23738Only, real in what sense?
23738Only, what was his object?
23738Only, what was she about to do?
23738Or because he took you away from a life you hated?
23738Or did she doubt my intentions, and was her quietness that of one on guard?
23738Or if he had not seen It, how did he know this room was an unsafe area?
23738Or perhaps you did not know that?"
23738Or was I still dreaming?
23738Or was it tinged with auburn?
23738Or was my foot indeed upon the mountain itself?
23738Or, could she?
23738Or, if you will agree not to escape----?"
23738Or, perhaps, because he is kind and loves you?
23738Past?
23738Perhaps you might seem at last a phantom of my own sick brain to which faithfulness would be folly?
23738Perhaps you produced it?"
23738Perhaps, with patience----?
23738Perhaps----Have you told Vere about the woman who visited this room, the first night I spent in the house?
23738Please me?
23738Please, may I?
23738Please, please----?"
23738Pure?
23738Repudiate my violence and me-- perhaps go back to her hiding- place?
23738Shall we go down to Phillida?"
23738Shall we go in to Phillida?"
23738She was a witch?"
23738She was wrapped in a lot of floating thin stuff; gray, I guess?
23738Should I ever see my Lady of the Beautiful Tresses come that way, or travel that road to where she lived?
23738Should I not rather stand on this my ground where I was not the"lame feller"?
23738So one wrote:''_ There is neither crystallomancy nor hydromancy, but the magick is in the Seer himself._''""Well, Desire?"
23738Still, if such gifts were given as she believed, if it was merely a question of being Ethan Vere-- or Roger Locke----?
23738Suppose our escape succeeded?
23738Suppose she had fainted?
23738Suppose she never came again?
23738Suppose the episode was ended?
23738Suppose we sit here together, strong in numbers, for the few hours until daylight?
23738Surely I should find her in some neighbor''s daughter, when my house was finished and I went there for the summer?
23738That I am a prisoner who has crept out for a little while?
23738That braid?"
23738The Horror or the lady?
23738The Thing will come, and not you?"
23738The Thing-- the enemy that comes to me has never spoken to you?"
23738The breach of promise suits, and the couples who make each other miserable?"
23738The danger, then, was only for me?
23738The dark creature claimed her, she declared herself helpless to escape from that dominion into normal life, and yet It never had spoken to her?
23738The darkness had been only for my eyes, then?
23738The eyes of the body, or that vision by which man sees in a dream and which is to the sight as the speech of spirits is to the hearing?"
23738The perfumed bronze- colored braid up in my drawer----?
23738The water you have just tasted is pure and clear in the glass?
23738The woman?
23738There is n''t enough water- power over the dam to do any more than run a toy, is there?"
23738There is no newcomer in the neighborhood, no visitor at any house who might be the one I am looking for?"
23738This darling house?
23738To fly from my place now, herded like a cowardly sheep by the Thing of the Frontier, would that not be to thrust her away to save myself?
23738Under what circumstances did she dwell?
23738Very original, is it not?
23738Was I a cheated fool, or a pioneer on the borders of a new country?
23738Was I confronted with two beings from places unknown to normal humanity?
23738Was I letting slip an opportunity by my fastidious notions of delicacy?
23738Was I then fighting for Desire Michell?
23738Was I to fall as low as that?
23738Was I to lose my self- respect also?
23738Was I to run a beaten man from this peril, after standing against my enemy so long?
23738Was I wrong in fancying the sigh regretful?
23738Was Phillida''s charming wish to become a fact, I wondered?
23738Was entrance into human air open to the alien Thing only through the ruins of the house where It had first been called by the sorceress of long ago?
23738Was it mere slavishness of mind on my part not to overrule her timid will?
23738Was it not enough that I had fled from my enemy after accepting the knowledge It had striven so long to force upon me?
23738Was it not time?
23738Was it too late for my Desire to come, and time for the coming of that Other?
23738Was she one of those who have stepped from the permitted places?
23738Was she trying to turn me from my purpose with her soft speech?
23738Was some dark bulk just fading from beyond my window?
23738Was that the lake which stirred in the windless night?
23738Was there indeed some quality of courage----?
23738We could come out on the theatre express; as we have done before, you remember?"
23738Well, I had seen her at last-- but how?
23738Well, was I to run away, hands over my eyes, at the first alarm?
23738Well, where does poor Phil go, and when?"
23738Were those a woman''s draperies or part of the night fog that showed mere swirl upon swirl of pale gray twisting in the path of light?
23738Were you ill?"
23738Were you not under eighteen years old?"
23738What are the wars of man with man, compared with a man''s battle against the Unknown?
23738What bond held her subject to the Thing from the Barrier?
23738What can I offer her that I have not offered?
23738What connection could its Desire Michell have with the girl I knew?
23738What could I tell her of my vision of her womanly softness and timidity brought to bay by the Thing of horror, down in those empty lower rooms?
23738What could they have in common?
23738What did I hold in my arms?
23738What did I know of this man, or where he would take her?
23738What did I see, starting out of the black gloom?
23738What distinguished me from a thousand men she might meet on any city street?
23738What do you love Vere for, at bottom?
23738What footing was here for dreary terrors?
23738What formed there, more inhuman from Its likeness to humanity?
23738What gates were to close between us?
23738What good might I not do her?
23738What had Hermas glimpsed in his visions?
23738What had I ever said worth note in the hours we had spent together?
23738What harm could I do Desire by this plan of Vere''s?
23738What if she did go home?
23738What if we came to an explanation tonight and ended this long delirium?
23738What interest had my lady of the dark in elaborately deceiving me?
23738What is real?"
23738What is that motive?"
23738What is the long dead Desire Michell to you?"
23738What malignant glare seared disappointment and grim promise across my consciousness?
23738What moves It against me?"
23738What of her knowledge of that same nightmare?
23738What of the legend of her family so exactly coinciding with all I felt?
23738What other shapes of dread stalked and watched beyond that titanic wall?
23738What reason have you for desperate action?
23738What remained to be done?
23738What responsibility was I assuming in letting my little- girl cousin go like this?
23738What sense of humor can view too intensely a creature who must feed himself three times a day?
23738What sent you to me?"
23738What should I say to Desire Michell if she came tonight?
23738What should loom so tall?
23738What stirred at this empty hour?
23738What time does her train get in?"
23738What was to become of this girl?
23738What were you looking for, just now, behind you?"
23738What would you have from me?
23738What, then?"
23738When I could, I asked:"Married legally, beyond mistake?
23738When she was across the room, I asked quietly:"What was it, Vere?
23738Where are their abodes?
23738Where could such a volume be hidden, in what secret nook in wall or floor?
23738Where did she live?
23738Where is Vere?"
23738Where was that Barrier before which I had stood?
23738Where-- when can I see you in daylight?"
23738Where-- where were you going to take me?"
23738Who and what was the girl Desire Michell whom I had come to love through a more profound darkness than that of the sight?
23738Who are you?
23738Who before me had stood at the Barrier and set foot on the Frontier between the worlds?
23738Who could the woman be who brought that costly fragrance into a deserted farmhouse?
23738Who cut her hair and left the braid in my hand to escape from me?"
23738Who was she, who was claimed by the Unspeakable and who did not deny Its claim?
23738Who was she?
23738Who would keep tryst with me tonight?
23738Who, then, was my guest?
23738Whose gentle pity had brought this pomander to my pillow, to help me from that faintness which had followed my struggle with the Thing?
23738Whose was the exquisite, individual fragrance contained in the ball I held?
23738Why could she not put her hand in mine, any night, and let me take her away from this haunted place?
23738Why did you cut it off?"
23738Why had I not put my question to our rural mail deliverer in the beginning?
23738Why had a peculiar horror crept through me when Mrs. Hill told me what ruins that water covered?
23738Why muffle her identity in mystery?
23738Why not drive out to my new house this evening and sleep tonight in the rosewood- furnished bedroom?
23738Why not, when all things are still equally wonderful to it?
23738Why should he ask that, since the spectre was for me alone?
23738Why should you die?"
23738Why speak of anger or forgiveness?
23738Why the indefinable quaintness of language, the choice of words that made her speech so different from even the college- bred Phillida''s?
23738Why was the fog against the windows this morning so like the fog that shrouded the unearthly sea opposite the Barrier?
23738Why, and by whom?
23738Why, at least, not come to me in the light, and let me see her face to face?
23738Why, she changed her name to one fancier that you might have heard talk of?
23738Why, then, love Ethan Vere?"
23738Why, would you have me live all the years to come in doubt whether you were a woman or a dream?
23738Why?
23738Why?
23738Why?
23738Why?
23738Why?"
23738Why?"
23738Why?"
23738Why?"
23738Why?"
23738Will you believe there is no risk that I would not take for a few hours with you?
23738Will you not be worn down by the Thing that knows no weariness and fall its prey at last?"
23738Will you not feel strength fail, health break, madness creep close?
23738Will you put a match to it, please?"
23738Will you take me where I say, this one time?"
23738Would It not deliberately forestall Desire''s coming, tonight?
23738Would morning find me so?
23738Would she spring up and escape?
23738Would she stay?
23738Would she thank me, or would she reply with some eccentricity unpredictable as her whim to tell me that tale?
23738Would the creature from the Barrier have appeared to me, if I had not known her?
23738Would you believe a thing because I told it to you?
23738Would you care for him as an ordinary, hard- working fellow in a pair of overalls and a flannel shirt?
23738Would you challenge me?
23738Would you have had me leave without meeting you again, neither thanking you nor asking your forgiveness?"
23738Would you rather go upstairs and lie down, and not hear any more of this stuff tonight?"
23738Would you see the Eyes once seen by the witch- woman, who fell blasted out of human ken?
23738Would you watch a man enter a jungle where some hideous beast crouched in ambush, while you neither warned nor armed him?
23738Writer, ai n''t you?
23738Yet what could that vague and learned gentleman do that I could not?
23738Yet, what safety lies in secrecy between us?
23738Yet, what was I to think?
23738You are looking at me so----?"
23738You are so good that you should be happy, but-- are you?"
23738You did that fatal madness-- and you are here?
23738You do not mean to leave the farm?"
23738You do not think me suffering from delusions?"
23738You know Mis''Royal Hill?
23738You know now that I belong to It by heritage?
23738You know why we can never be together as you planned?
23738You must have been out a long time?
23738You must not be left alone until you are quite safe; perhaps in New York?"
23738You remember, Cousin Roger, how Mother always forbade pets because she believed animals carry germs?
23738You saw her face, then?"
23738You see?
23738You took Its gift?
23738You understand what I am trying to explain, do n''t you?"
23738You will forgive me?"
23738You will tell me no more about yourself?
23738You, so perfect?"
23738_ But what was she to whom the Thing laid claim by the pact of centuries?_ Darkness began to tinge with light.
43199''At the time of her mother''s death the deceased was sixteen years old?'' 43199 ''Can you give us any explanation of the cause of her aversion to our hotels?''
43199''Cheerful airs?'' 43199 ''Did her death affect the deceased in any particular way?''
43199''Had this been always the case with her?'' 43199 ''Have you at any time observed a disposition in her to commit suicide?''
43199''Have you observed any change in her during the last few days or weeks?'' 43199 ''Her age?''
43199''Her bedroom door was unlocked?'' 43199 ''How did you pass the day before her death?''
43199''How is it that you and the deceased remained in the house when there were no servants in it?'' 43199 ''How long were you married?''
43199''Is her mother living?'' 43199 ''On the night of your stepdaughter''s death, at what hour did she retire to her room?''
43199''Profession?'' 43199 ''That is all the information you can give us?''
43199''Was her general health good?'' 43199 ''Was her mother of a similar disposition?''
43199''What is your name?'' 43199 ''What relation do you bear to the deceased?''
43199''Where to?'' 43199 ''Who was in the house besides yourselves?''
43199A friend of yours?
43199A nice looking gentleman, Barbara?
43199A sensible woman,said Bob, gazing after my wife; and then, in a more serious tone,"Ned, is it all true?"
43199A tall gentleman, Barbara?
43199About the phantom of the girl?
43199Absolutely nothing?
43199Ah,said Rivers, in a significant tone which we understood,"what does that mean, indeed?
43199Ai nt all gals fond of it? 43199 And is it damp?"
43199And its color, madame?
43199And no letter came?
43199And she is still in the house?
43199And that is the reason of the low rent?
43199And that is why the last tenant did not live in it?
43199And the door opened, as your wife has described?
43199And yet it moves?
43199And you did not see it again?
43199Another?
43199Any children?
43199Anything the matter?
43199Apart from this loss of memory, from this forgetfulness of herself, is she in health?
43199Are the drains in good order?
43199Are you asleep, Edward?
43199Are you feeling better?
43199Are you going with him?
43199Are you ill?
43199Are you quite well this morning?
43199Are you ready to talk, Barbara?
43199Are you sure it is n''t more?
43199Are you sure of that, Ned?
43199Are you sure of that?
43199At the George?
43199At what hour last night?
43199Barbara, was your sister fond of dress?
43199Been all day at it,I said, the tears starting to my eyes at the infinite pathos in the girl''s voice;"you have been hungry all day?"
43199Beer or whisky, doctor?
43199Bob, would you judge me to be a man possessed of a fair amount of common sense?
43199But what have you seen?
43199But you''re never going to, sir?
43199But, Edward, who opened the door?
43199Ca n''t you do something, Edward?
43199Ca n''t you lock the door?
43199Can I ever forget it? 43199 Can you read?"
43199Can you see him plainly?'' 43199 Caring, as a rule, more for the prosaic than the romantic side of things?"
43199Cheerful, is n''t it, Bob?
43199Concealed for the purpose of doing us an injury?
43199Dead?
43199Did I make a noise, sir? 43199 Did he wear spectacles?"
43199Did n''t I see you on the boat?
43199Did she die soon after?
43199Did you bring a dog with you?
43199Did you ever find any more?
43199Did you ever see Miss Beatrice?
43199Did you see anyone answering to their description?
43199Did you see it?
43199Did you see my wife?
43199Did you see the man who went after them in the second cab?
43199Digestion good, Ned?
43199Do you feel better?
43199Do you intend to favor me with your company?
43199Do you know where he has gone?
43199Do you know, Barbara, what became of Miss Beatrice?
43199Do you not see the impossibility of our remaining where we are?
43199Do you really consider it necessary that she should accompany us?
43199Do you recollect the dress that Miss Beatrice wore when you saw her last?
43199Do you recollect what frock she wore when you saw her last?
43199Do you see any connection,I asked,"between that glare and the attention which the apparition is bestowing upon it?"
43199Do you speak French and German?
43199Do you suppose they have any suspicion that they are being followed?
43199Do you think I am still laboring under a delusion?
43199Do you think I have not had trouble enough in my life? 43199 Do you wish us to believe you have not seen her?"
43199Do_ you_ know Lamb''s Terrace?
43199Does he live here alone?
43199Does it reply by any sign?
43199Does not that prove that the figure you spoke of was a trick of the imagination?
43199Does she take it willingly?
43199For any particular reason, Barbara?
43199For one-- why does the master say she will not live, when, but for her loss of memory, she is strong and well?
43199For what reason on earth should a detective be running after your husband?
43199For what reason?
43199From Molly, my dear? 43199 From what part of the Continent?"
43199From whom did you obtain your information?
43199Gone to another hotel?
43199Has it been long unlet?
43199Has that anything to do with the inconveniences you speak of?
43199Have you anything you can show me from him?
43199Have you decided?
43199Have you enjoyed yourself?
43199Have you got over it?
43199Have you heard anything?
43199Have you heard her play upon it?
43199Have you no home, my dear?
43199Have you seen the house?
43199Have you seen your nephew to- day?
43199Have you?
43199He has been abroad?
43199Her Christian name?
43199How can he sleep so peacefully at such a moment as this?
43199How can you be sure of that?
43199How could I get inside,he retorted,"without the key?
43199How did he take it?
43199How did it come open, then?
43199How did you discover it?
43199How did you manage for coals, Barbara?
43199How do you make that out?
43199How long have you lived here?
43199How many empty houses are there on your list?
43199How many houses are we going to look over?
43199How much is it, and how long has it been due?
43199How often does she take it?
43199How was I to know it when I had never seen the lady, when I had never seen the girl, when I had never seen him before that morning?
43199I am not a detective,I answered, with, I confess, a rather guilty feeling, for if I was not doing the work of a detective, what else was I doing?
43199I mean, Barbara, since it has been empty?
43199I suppose it would be too much to ask you to keep me company here this week, after your office work is over?
43199I suppose you have not discovered whether Mr. Nisbet lives alone?
43199If we went to your nephew''s house, do you think we should find him up?
43199If yer going to see Molly, sir,she said, with tears in her eyes,"wo n''t yer take me with yer?"
43199If you heard it, would you remember it?
43199In Heaven''s name what are you talking about?
43199In life?
43199In this house?
43199In what way, my dear?
43199In what way?
43199In what way?
43199Irish whisky?
43199Is Dr. Cooper at home?
43199Is anything the matter with you?
43199Is he not at home?
43199Is it clear? 43199 Is it here, then?"
43199Is it in good repair?
43199Is it opening medicine?
43199Is she his child, then?
43199Is she suffering in any way?
43199Is that all you have to tell us,inquired Ronald,"of what came to your knowledge in London and on your journey here?"
43199Is that his name?
43199Is the apparition that first appeared to you in that ill- fated house visible to you? 43199 Is there a care- taker in the house?"
43199Is your apparition present?
43199It is perfectly clear, like water?
43199It looks like it, does n''t it?
43199It was you we heard moving about?
43199May I ask the name of the gentleman who is doing business for you in London?
43199May we say that she is afflicted?
43199Might not something be gained from him?
43199Miss Beatrice Nesbit?
43199Must not a woman have a mind? 43199 No appetite, Ned?"
43199No delusion, eh, Bob?
43199No one hurt, I hope?
43199No, sir; do you?
43199Not in the crime,asked Ronald,"in the discovery of it, I suppose you mean?"
43199Not likely to give way to fads and fancies?
43199Not married?
43199Not put you in a more comfortable home, my dear?
43199Now, Barbara, can you tell me the name of the place your sister was going to with Mr. Nisbet and Miss Beatrice?
43199Now, Mr. Emery,said Rivers,"can you find your way alone to the hut?"
43199Now, sir or madam,said I to the cat,"what do you think of Bob''s residence, and what can we do to make you comfortable?"
43199Now, what for?
43199Now, what have you to say?
43199Now,_ do_ you think,she said, quizzing him,"that it is quite fair to take away the character of an empty house upon such slender grounds?
43199Of that there is no doubt,I said;"but what does it point to?"
43199Of what?
43199Oh, he says that, does he?
43199Oh,said my wife, smiling,"is that all?
43199Only yourselves?
43199Really a matter of fact?
43199Roughly speaking, what sum does the landlord propose to allow?
43199See her? 43199 Shall we go on?"
43199She had a favorite instrument, had she not, upon which she was fond of playing?
43199She is a French lady?
43199She is not easily frightened,I said,"but what has that to do with it?"
43199She_ will_ be surprised, wo n''t she, sir?
43199Should I not starve if I went away? 43199 Since the house has been untenanted, perhaps?"
43199Since you took up your quarters in this hotel what have you discovered?
43199So you sleep in this house regularly, Barbara?
43199Some relatives, surely?
43199Tell me, Maria, in what particular way?
43199That is her bedroom?
43199That must be a long time ago, Barbara?
43199The girl,she murmured;"that dreadful figure that came into the room?"
43199The house seems to be completely out of repair?
43199The idea of moving?
43199The tenant has only just left it, I suppose?
43199Then how have you learnt all you have told me?
43199Then you saw something?
43199To be let on lease?
43199To live in, sir?
43199To reside here?
43199Two?
43199Unwhat, sir?
43199Upstairs or downstairs first?
43199Very curious,I said,"and how does the wise physician account for the delusion?"
43199Was he of a scientific turn of mind?
43199Was she averse to society? 43199 Was she in a situation in London?"
43199Was there anything peculiar in his appearance that you noticed particularly?
43199Well, Mr. Millet,she said, with a shrewd glance at him,"what is this something of the highest importance that you have to impart to me?"
43199Well, my child?
43199Well,I observed,"say that I am a gentleman; is that anything against me?"
43199Well? 43199 Well?"
43199What are you hunting us down for?
43199What are you looking at? 43199 What are you stooping for?"
43199What became of the body-- though that''s a stupid question, because, of course, it was buried in the usual way?
43199What can I say, except that it is most bewildering and mysterious?
43199What color were they?
43199What did we come out for? 43199 What did your sister Molly think of him?"
43199What do we slave for? 43199 What do you mean by saying there are strange things, things you can not understand?"
43199What do you mean?
43199What do you say now to the spectral cat and its having urged us to come to this fire?
43199What do you say to that, Ned?
43199What do you see?
43199What do you think it is?
43199What do you think of it all?
43199What do you think of it, Bob?
43199What do you think of that, Mr. Millet? 43199 What do you want of him?"
43199What do you want?
43199What for, Bob?
43199What good purpose would be served,asked Bob,"by disclosing it to him?
43199What is his name?
43199What is it that I shall do?
43199What is it?
43199What is the lady''s name?
43199What makes you think so?
43199What message?
43199What name did she say?
43199What now shall be done?
43199What on earth should we take it for if we did n''t?
43199What shall we do-- oh, what shall we do?
43199What time did you come--I hesitated at the word--"home to- night?"
43199What was it Molly said to you that you will never forget?
43199What was it like?
43199What was that?
43199What was the name of her master?
43199What was the reason?
43199What was the rent he paid for it?
43199What were you and Mr. Nisbet doing to- night before you went to bed?
43199What wind?
43199What would be her age, in your opinion, madame?
43199What''s the matter?
43199What?
43199Whatever are you driving at, Maria?
43199When Molly went away-- we will speak about that presently-- did nobody tell you that something had happened in this house?
43199When Molly worked here used you to come and see her?
43199When does_ It_ appear?
43199When you recovered from your faint,said Bob,"was the figure still there?"
43199When your master is absent he leaves medicine for her to take? 43199 When?
43199When?
43199When?
43199Where are they? 43199 Where did she say she would send the letter?''
43199Where does all this come from?
43199Where does he live?
43199Where is it?
43199Where to?
43199Where to?
43199Where?
43199Who are you?
43199Who is it?
43199Who is there?
43199Who told you I was in Brighton?
43199Who would, I''d like to know? 43199 Who''s going to stand treat?"
43199Who''s there?
43199Why did you not light the fire in the stove, Barbara?
43199Why did you stop on the doorstep, Edward?
43199Why do you remain in his service?
43199Why do you say discharged?
43199Why do you say''poor lady''?
43199Why not?
43199Why not?
43199Why should I not go?
43199Why should I not, when you have promised to reward me? 43199 Why should we not go together?"
43199Why should you be afraid to admit it?
43199Why should you go?
43199Why?
43199Why?
43199Will he be in soon?
43199Will it lead to anything further?
43199Will you accompany me to Paris?
43199Within your own knowledge?
43199Wot d''yer want of me, sir?
43199Wot did you come the first time for, sir?
43199Would he not have read the account of the inquest?
43199Would you say that her inclination was to play sorrowful or somber airs?
43199Yes?
43199You actually saw nothing?
43199You ai nt come from''er,''ave yer, sir?
43199You are not sorry for it now?
43199You began to_ feel_ shadows about, Barbara?
43199You ca n''t read newspapers?
43199You discovered that, did you?
43199You do n''t seem to have liked his looks?
43199You do not wish me and your husband to meet?
43199You do?
43199You expected to do so long before now?
43199You followed us?
43199You give it up altogether?
43199You have a mother and father, my dear?
43199You have had a tussle with fortune, old friend, and got the worst of it?
43199You have noticed some change in me?
43199You have seen nothing to- night?
43199You infernal creature,I cried, holding the candle so that its light fell upon the specter,"what are you here for?
43199You received my message, then?
43199You remained in that house two weeks after Molly went away?
43199You saw it?
43199You see no shadows now?
43199You shall have the money,I said;"are you sure they both went away in the train?"
43199You suspect him of being an accomplice?
43199You want to know where the doctor is?
43199You will some day?
43199You would know it again, I suppose, if you saw it?
43199Your officer will telegraph to you from Paris?
43199''Are you sure of that?''
43199''Can you see any likeness between us?''
43199''Do you remain long in Geneva?''
43199''How many times has this occurred?''
43199''On any one of these occasions,''says the physician,''have you had a companion with you?''
43199''Suppose the gentleman suddenly goes abroad?''
43199''What does it matter,''he says,''whether I live in the house or not, so long as the rent is paid?''
43199''What''s up?''
43199''Where do you go from Geneva?''
43199''Who are these for?''
43199''You wo n''t give it to no one else, will yer, please, when it comes?''
43199A long and awful silence ensued, during which the agonizing question occupied my mind, what was being done outside the door?
43199Ah, she had a brother?
43199And do you suppose there''s a lock in the house in proper order?"
43199Any more shadows, Barbara?"
43199Are we friends or foes?"
43199Are we not to believe in the resurrection?
43199Are you a double- dyed knave, or an egregious fool?
43199Are you a friend of his?"
43199Are you going out for a walk?"
43199Are you related to her?"
43199As I stood pondering, Bob at my side, the spectral figure of the cat at my feet, Bob asked,"Well, Ned, where''s the connection?"
43199At what hour in the morning are you due at your office?"
43199Because we do not see him are we not to believe in him?
43199Bernstein kind to them?
43199Bernstein, did you ever taste this medicine?"
43199Bernstein?
43199Bernstein?"
43199Besides, what call had I to tap the gentleman on the shoulder and say,''I''ll trouble you to tell me what you have under your arm?''
43199Bob whispered to me once:"Has it accompanied us?"
43199But O Molly, Molly, why do n''t you come back?
43199But if yer_ do_ see Molly, yer''ll give''er my love, wo n''t yer, and arks''er if I can come to''er?"
43199But it must cause you regret?"
43199But what can she do against them alone?"
43199But what necessity is there for you to go into a number of empty houses?"
43199But would it not be discovered?"
43199But, that accomplished, all chance of Mr. Nisbet coming into a fortune of £ 60,000 would be lost?
43199By the way, did Dr. Cooper have time to bring his slippers with him from London?
43199By what?"
43199Came back where?
43199Can I see your husband?"
43199Can you give me a personal description of the gentleman?"
43199Carrying the hypothesis further, what should you say became of the body of the-- did you say a lady?"
43199Compensations?
43199Could it have been willfully suppressed?"
43199Could it have been, after all, an illusion?
43199Could you catch one of these, whichever is the nearest for you?"
43199Dickson?"
43199Dickson?"
43199Did he leave in a cab?
43199Did not the information Mr. Gascoigne gave you of the last tenant strike you as rather extraordinary?"
43199Did she know her lover was near her, I thought, and that she was saved from the dread peril with which she had been threatened?
43199Did she show that it was distasteful to her?"
43199Did she tell you she was going alone first, and that her master and Miss Beatrice were to follow afterward?"
43199Did the clerk know for which railway station?
43199Did they expect him to return?
43199Did they leave on foot or in a cab?
43199Did you ever take a sleeping draught?"
43199Did you understand from Molly that she was going abroad?"
43199Did_ you_ see nothing?"
43199Do n''t you think, Edward, that the news Mr. Millet has given us makes the house all the more interesting?"
43199Do you believe that you will ever see the young lady again?"
43199Do you come to help the poor lady?
43199Do you not see the crime your accomplice was meditating?"
43199Do you propose to go over the whole twenty- three to- day?"
43199Do you remember how we hunted and hunted till we found this house?"
43199Do you remember our first cigar in your little bedroom in your father''s house?
43199Do you require absolute visible proof before you believe?"
43199Do you suspect, doctor, that the woman is guilty?"
43199Do you understand?"
43199Does he go to bed late?"
43199Does your master oppress her?
43199Down he goes like a stone, and he can be done to death, and his body hidden in a hundred holes-- and who''s the wiser?
43199Elsdale?"
43199Emery?"
43199Emery?"
43199Emery?"
43199Far from here?"
43199First, what has become of the girl Molly?
43199For a railway station?
43199For one murder discovered, how many undiscovered?
43199For what purpose had it come?
43199For what reason should they change hotels?
43199Friends or foes?
43199Had he and his friend occupied one room?
43199Had she any objection to give me his address?
43199Had the bell I rang summoned it from the grave?
43199Has any idea suggested itself to you that would be likely to explain the reason of Mr. Nisbet choosing Dr. Cooper as a companion?"
43199Has it a sediment?"
43199Has there been any other person besides yourself in Mr. Nisbet''s service?"
43199Haunted?
43199Have I made myself clear?"
43199Have the girls complained?"
43199Have you any particular house in view?"
43199Have you any theory as to Molly?"
43199Have you done work for the day?"
43199Have you seen the house, Bob?"
43199Have you succeeded in persuading your good wife to go to the seaside?"
43199Have you such an impression now?"
43199Have you the courage to explore the house with me?"
43199Have you the keys, Ned?"
43199Have you?''
43199He may say, like you, that it is all fancy; but pray how does he account for the opening of a locked door?"
43199He places this medicine in your charge?
43199His name?
43199How about Barbara?"
43199How can I?
43199How could it be otherwise?
43199How did Mr. Nisbet''s stepdaughter meet her death?
43199How do I arrive at that conclusion?
43199How is it, Bob, that you have had time for so much talk to- day with your nephew?"
43199How long have you been in service here?"
43199How should I answer her?
43199How, indeed, could I have felt differently with the specter cat lying at my feet, and looking up into my face?
43199How?
43199I am right in my understanding that you do not mind a little extra expense?"
43199I could n''t''ave done nothink else to make sure of it, could I, sir?"
43199I made bold to arsk both of''em about it,''Is there a letter for Barbara, wrote large, please?''
43199I suppose you have come across some curious cases in looking up apparitions?"
43199If she do n''t find me''ere, where''s she to look for me, and''ow am I to know?
43199If she is not his daughter she is doubtless some relation?"
43199If this view were universal what would become of religion?
43199In the absence of proof, of what practical value would mere suspicion be?
43199In the face of all this, what will you think of my nephew when I tell you that he is under the delusion that Beatrice still lives?"
43199Is he cruel to her?"
43199Is it a liquid?"
43199Is it here with us in the room?"
43199Is it satisfactory, Mr. Nisbet?
43199Is n''t there a German or French story of a man who sold his shadow to the devil?
43199Is she to know that the house is haunted?"
43199Is that in his favor?"
43199Is this new to you, or has your nephew expressed himself to a like effect on other occasions?"
43199Is your catalogue of ills finished?"
43199It was offered to us at half the value of a house of such dimensions, and did you ever know a woman sufficiently strong minded to resist a bargain?
43199May I venture to ask if you believe in spiritual visitations?"
43199Mersac-- is not that a sufficient name?"
43199Mersac-- it is not her name, but that matters little-- has no aversion to you, madame?"
43199Mersac?''
43199Millet?"
43199Millet?"
43199Millet?"
43199Millet?"
43199Millet?"
43199Must it always be the man?"
43199My memory does not deceive me, does it, Bob?
43199My name is Millet, Bob Millet-- don''t you remember?"
43199Nesbit?"
43199Nesbit?"
43199Now, does it stand to reason that a lady and gentleman of ample means would willingly bury themselves in such a place?
43199Now, how could that be managed?
43199Now, how shall it be?
43199Now, who knows of that place of deposit?
43199Off goes the cab, and then, what do you think?
43199Our little Barbara''s sister?
43199People ask what for?
43199Perhaps he went to a railway station?
43199Rivers?"
43199Rivers?"
43199Second, what is the meaning of the association of Mr. Nisbet and Dr. Cooper?
43199Sensation stories?"
43199She closed them again immediately, and said, in a whisper:"Is it gone?"
43199So dark are the thoughts that keep cropping up in my mind that I ask myself,''How did the mother meet her death?''"
43199Some of us doctors have secrets that we keep to ourselves; make you as wise as we are, and where should we be?
43199Terrified as we were, how could we trust the evidence of our senses?
43199The inquiry agent gave you his name, I believe?"
43199Then comes the question, who administered it?
43199Then he asked,"Is there anything you wish to know?"
43199Then his business could not have been a flourishing one?
43199They have been making a chemical experiment, testing a liquid-- to what end?
43199They say?
43199To drink?
43199To whom did these clothes belong?"
43199Very fair?"
43199Was he a doctor in good practice?
43199Was he very rich?
43199Was it a reasonable conclusion that she knew something of the last tenant, and could give me some information concerning him?
43199Was it my fancy that there was a movement in the wall between the room we were in and that occupied by Mr. Nisbet?
43199Was it really possible that the apparitions I had seen were the creations of my fancy?
43199Was it to seek Dr. Cooper for the purpose of obtaining his assistance in a fresh crime to be committed on foreign soil?
43199Was it to visit the house in Lamb''s Terrace in which the crime was committed?
43199Were you aware at the time of your intimacy with him that his stepdaughter was heiress to a large fortune?"
43199What are they doing now?
43199What are you doing?"
43199What are your feelings toward the person who has treated you so shamefully?
43199What became of her?''
43199What brings her to this dismal, haunted hole?"
43199What did Barbara say was her sister''s favorite dress?"
43199What did it require of me?
43199What did you come for this time, sir?"
43199What do they call it in law?
43199What do we study for?
43199What do we waste the midnight oil for?
43199What do you say now?
43199What do you say to coming here tomorrow evening and hearing our report of the house?"
43199What do you say to detective?"
43199What do you say to our going in for the flitch of bacon?"
43199What do you say-- a man or a woman?"
43199What do you think I have done to- day?"
43199What do you want me to do?
43199What do you want to know, sir?
43199What does such a lady naturally look forward to?
43199What does that mean?"
43199What does the old song say?
43199What explanation will you give to your wife?"
43199What had I to do with the incidents of this eventful day?
43199What have they to do with it?
43199What have you got in your bag?"
43199What have you under that cloth?
43199What hour is it?"
43199What is it that Mr. Nisbet has just done?
43199What is the consequence?
43199What is the next step, Ned?"
43199What is this story you are telling me of another girl being put into his daughter''s bed?
43199What is your opinion?"
43199What kind of dress did Barbara say that Miss Beatrice wore when she last saw her?"
43199What kind of reading do you indulge in?
43199What next?"
43199What shall I do, what shall I do?"
43199What was in the vial?"
43199What was it you said?
43199What was this motive, and how are we to act?
43199What was your sister?"
43199What were you doing?
43199What would you do him if it was in your power?"
43199What''s the consequence?
43199When do we start?"
43199When shall we start?"
43199When you met her on the Continent, did she give you the impression that she was of a morbid or melancholy temperament?"
43199When, and how?"
43199Where and how did you live, my dear, while Molly was in service here?"
43199Where can we look for direction as to the next step to be taken?"
43199Where did they live?
43199Where else''d I go to, I''d like to know?"
43199Where has Mr. Nisbet gone to?"
43199Where is the vial?"
43199Where is your apparition, Ned?"
43199Where is your sister?"
43199Where to, sir?"
43199Where''s the coin?"
43199Where?"
43199Who else at the inquest could have known anything about it?
43199Who is Molly?"
43199Who say?"
43199Why are your eyes wandering so?"
43199Why did he leave us to find it out for ourselves after we signed the lease?''"
43199Why did not her stepfather give her opportunities of doing so?
43199Why did we not come here before?
43199Why did you move, you fool of a doctor?
43199Why did you want to know where the young lady lived whom, but for my blindness, I should have asked to be my wife?"
43199Why do you lock your door?"
43199Why do you not go back to your grave and leave me in peace?"
43199Why should she?
43199Why, Maria,"I said, as she entered the room,"what have you got your hat on for?
43199Will you spend a night or two with me there?"
43199Will you testify?
43199Will you trust me?"
43199Will you undertake to carry this through?"
43199Wosn''t that good of Molly, sir?"
43199Wot did''appen, sir?"
43199Wot''d become of me then, I''d like to know?
43199Wot''yer think I found in that there cupboard on the top shelf, that I''ad to stand on two chairs to git to?
43199Would it not be to marriage, to a home of her own?
43199Would she, for a consideration, give Barbara board and lodging for a little while?"
43199Would you object to let me into the secret of the delusion under which he labors?"
43199You can actually see the cat?"
43199You could telegraph to me in Paris the address you receive from your officer?"
43199You do n''t mind my calling you Ned, do you?"
43199You do n''t think that, do yer, sir?"
43199You have no objection to company and assistance, I suppose?"
43199You have some news?"
43199You intend to follow?"
43199You went to bed hungry, did you not?"
43199You would like to dress?
