58913said Arthur Forbes eagerly,"what knowest thou of that fire?"

58913what''s this?
58913where is the Lady Stradawn?
58913will ye allow him who must be your chieftain to be laid hands on in the house of a stranger?"
58913wouldst thou shear the eagle plume of my boy Walter, thou ill- omened bird that thou art?
59202Am I then to be doomed to sloth and idleness at home?
59202And why not?
59202Are these all your sins, villain?
59202As how?
59202Aye, Memm, it''s me,replied Morag,"Fat wull she be doin''for mulks?
59202Bed, did you say?
59202But fat need she fear as lang as Shon Smiss be here?
59202But how do you come to know me so well?
59202But surely you can not expect that my hospitality to you should require my sharing this mountain concealment with you? 59202 But tell me,"said Inverawe,"how happened this unlucky affair?"
59202But think of the solemn oath I have sworn;--you would not have Inverawe-- you would not have your husband-- break a pledge so solemnly given? 59202 But what is the meaning of all this violence, John?
59202Come, John, why do you stand staring so? 59202 Did I say that it was the Earl that sent me?
59202Did the Earl of Fife say that?
59202Did you not see the rout?
59202Did you not witness the battle, and behold the glorious triumph of the royal army?
59202Dis she no hear ta pipes?
59202Do n''t you see that Inverawe has had a feast, and that wine, and water, and whisky too, have been flowing in gallons in all directions?
59202Do you go in the same ship with my father?
59202Do you think that I could sit quietly at home, whilst my father, and you, and so many of my friends, are earning honour and glory abroad? 59202 Donald Murdoch!--Oh, Donald Murdoch, can you tell me is John Smith safe?
59202Far is she, Morag? 59202 Fat has Shon Smiss toon to mak ta Pensassenach sink tat she''ll no be true till her ain mistress?"
59202Fat vas she cryin''aboot?
59202Fat wad ta leddy be wantin''? 59202 Fat wad ta leddy be wantin''wi''her?"
59202God forgive you, boys, what would you do?
59202Heaven defend me, what shall I do without the protection of my husband? 59202 Hide me in the water?
59202How can I sufficiently thank you?
59202How can you ask me to assist you, base wretch that you are?
59202How is this that you come on foot? 59202 How the plague am I to get to ye if so be the pit be bottomless?"
59202How went the battle, John?
59202I mean the rebel Duke-- the Duke of Perth, I mean? 59202 In the name of wonder, how knows he my name?"
59202Inverawe,said she, tenderly and anxiously addressing him,"you are ill-- very ill. What, in the name of all goodness, is the matter with you?
59202Is he alone?
59202Is it possible?
59202Is she no a prave ponny man? 59202 Is that you, Morag?"
59202Mercy on us, where got ye such a mischance as that?
59202My dear fellow, what strange chance has brought you hither?
59202Never mind, Ian,said MacCallum;"why may we not make our own of him?
59202Och, hae mercy on my puir sowl,cried the packman in despair;"surely, surely, ye''re no gawin''till droon me?"
59202Oh, why did MacArthur leave me thus to be murdered?
59202Oh, why did my husband leave me? 59202 Preserve us, what''s that?"
59202Say-- tell me!--what passed?
59202Sir,said Inchrory, standing his ground boldly and proudly,"what do you mean?
59202So you would rather be a party to assist in hanging Hamish and me, your own flesh and blood?
59202So, so,replied the Earl, laughing,"the fellow is an original, is he?
59202Surely you will not refuse to drink success to that brave army in which my brother John serves?
59202Then you do n''t think that''ere feller, wot hangs from yonder fir tree, can be a King or a Prince, do you, Jack?
59202Waunds, Gilbert, wot is that?
59202We are going on service then?
59202Well, General, are we to be in the advance?
59202Well, be quick,said the Pensassenach;"what more have ye to tell?"
59202Well, sir,said Inchrory, proudly,"what of that?
59202Well, sir,said Lord Fife to him, after he had rejoined him,"is Inchrory at home?"
59202What a murrain is the matter with ye?
59202What are all these wet foot- steps on the floor?
59202What can you say in exculpation of your treason?
59202What do you mean by that, you little shrimp?
59202What do you mean by that, you rascal?
59202What do you mean, John?
59202What ghost did you see?
59202What in the name of wonder would you propose?
59202What is all this?
59202What noise is that?
59202What said you?
59202What say you, girl?
59202What say you?
59202What sort of a place is it?
59202What the devil does he mean?
59202What the devil is that gliding along yonder?
59202What was the result of this matter then?
59202What will your father say then?
59202What?
59202What?--What is it?
59202Where are you carrying me? 59202 Where are you, wretched man?"
59202Where has John bestowed the villain?
59202Where have you come from, Will Dallas?
59202Where''s your pack, sir?
59202Where?--how?--what?
59202Whither, if I may be permitted to ask?
59202Whither?
59202Who and what is she at all?
59202Who comes there?
59202Who is there?
59202Who is there?
59202Who is there?
59202Who spoke?
59202Who the devil are you, sir?
59202Who would have thought of a purse of money being in the pouch of such a miserable rascally savage as that? 59202 Why did you drive away the cattle this morning, and what have you done with them?"
59202Why do n''t you speak distinctly?
59202Why should you hesitate?
59202Why should you weep, old man?
59202Will you protect me?
59202Will you really be true to me?
59202Will you refuse to drink my toast?
59202Would you lay your impious hands upon your own father?
59202You would not murder your mistress, John, and all for asking you to drink an idle toast? 59202 All across, said you? 59202 An''she pe traivel a''ta way hame so far, fat for wad she pe deein''noo tat she is at hame?
59202Are you mad?"
59202Ask yourself, George, what would you have done under my circumstances?"
59202Author.--Ay-- who was Alister Shaw, Archy?
59202But again I ask you, how went the battle?
59202But come, gentlemen, who tells the next tale?
59202But to what particular circumstances do you allude?"
59202But uve, uve, memm, fat way is tat to be stannin''?
59202But what can I do for you?
59202But what strange chance has brought you here?"
59202But why do you keep this light burning?
59202But why may we not ketch him yet, Jack?
59202But, must you-- must you leave me thus alone?
59202Can you assure me that no ghosts ever haunt this wild place?"
59202Did n''t we, Bob?"
59202Do you think, Bill, that she can raaly have ridden off through the hair, as they do say they do?
59202Dost not think that a good stout fir- tree now might support a man?"
59202Far be ta Pensassenach?--ta Englis wife?"
59202Have we any tar- barrels left?"
59202Have we your permission to search for him?"
59202Have you no Christian language to give me?
59202Have you seen him again?"
59202How and where did you get this fearful wound?"
59202How dared you to come home till I sent a horse for you, that you might travel as Inchrory''s wife ought to do?"
59202Is it far from day?"
59202Is she oot o''her bed?
59202Is there no tree, think ye, fit to have a man in''t but an oak?
59202Is there nothing immediate that I can do for you?
59202Lord, where am I going?"
59202Not the chap they calls Prince Charles Stuart himself surelye?
59202Ta Englishers are a''comin''upon us horse and futs!--horse and futs an''mockell cannons, an''we''ll be a''mordered, an''waur!--fat wull we do?"
59202That cairn, too!--may not that be a cairn which marks the spot where-- where-- where some murder has been done?
59202The rebels were defeated, were they not?--eh?--Why, what is the matter with the girl?
59202The victory was soon gained, and it was with the right cause, was it not?"
59202Well, any more news, Dallas?"
59202What are your wants then, and what can I do for you?"
59202What can be more delightful than the prospect of serving in such a corps, under the command of so old a friend?"
59202What was to be done?
59202What!--what shall I do?"
59202Where are you carrying me to, John Smith?"
59202Where was he, and where were his heroes, that they did not arrest the progress of the Royal army?"
59202Who among his tribe shall be ashamed of him?
59202Who among warriors shall call him a woman?
59202Whoy, who the plague could he be?
59202Why do nt you follow the living?
59202Why do we tarry here?
59202Why do you not speak, my dear?
59202Why waste time by cutting at the dying or dead?"
59202Would you leave me to utter darkness and despair?"
59202and is na that droonin''?"
59202and what became of the other Duke?"
59202cried Inverawe, shuddering with horror,--"what spectre?"
59202cried John, standing considerably abashed at this spectacle;"far got she tat terrible swoord?"
59202cried the Pensassenach;"and what news have ye got?"
59202cried the lady, clapping her hands in an ecstasy of joy;"you shall not fail to do that; but why did you not tell me this joyful news before?
59202cried the old man;"would you buy your own lives by treachery of so black a die?"
59202cried the old woman, weeping bitterly;"what will become of this poor motherless lassie now, if her father be gone?"
59202does Lord Fife take me for a dog- dealer?
59202exclaimed Colonel Grant, with growing anxiety--"him!--whom, I pray you?
59202exclaimed Colonel Grant,--"to succour Fort Defiance, General?
59202exclaimed Jack, rubbing his optics, and looking earnestly for some time at the corpse of Mr. Dallas;"sure I can not be mistaken?
59202exclaimed the Pensassenach, in horror;"wretch that you are, did you murder the woman?"
59202is tat true?"
59202is that all?"
59202money saidst thou, my gay girl?"
59202nothing else to confess?"
59202one of Prince Charley''s men?"
59202said Ian,"how could you prevent us?"
59202said he,"where is Ticonderoga?
59202said one of them to the other, reining up his steed as he spoke, just on entering the open space,--"What have we here, Jack?"
59202said the Pensassenach,--"and to that noble and gallant Prince who commands it?"
59202said the old man, rising from his knees, somewhat reassured;"where were you wounded?"
59202said the old woman;"what was he like?"
59202say you so?"
59202tell me truly if he be safe?"
59202tell me, good Dallas, how did they cross?"
59202what news have you?"
59202would you leave me to another long, long, and dreadful night?
59202would you rouse up an armed man to fight against your own children?
58931Again dost thou dare so to miscal the gentlemen of the court of his most Royal Majesty of Scotland?
58931All others saidst thou, Margaret? 58931 And is she already thy wedded wife?
58931And is this really so?--and a long attachment saidst thou?
58931And why, after all, mayest thou not be quite happy as a tailor? 58931 And yet,"added she, with hesitation,"why should I put Alice Asher''s boy to such peril, even to save mine own child?
58931As how?
58931Back, didst thou say, Lady?
58931But how is his safety to be secured?
58931But thou canst not suspect this boy of having done so foul a deed?
58931But what of this famous shot of his?
58931Did I not say that we must be private?
58931Did I not tell thee I had found him out?
58931Did I not tell thee that he visits the cottage that stands on the brow of the wooded hill yonder? 58931 Did he embrace thee, dear Charley?"
58931Doubts of Rosa? 58931 Flint-- flint-- flint and steel saidst thou?"
58931From the pool, Rosa?
58931How camest thou to leave so good and honourable a service then?
58931How can I say aught about it? 58931 How can your Majesty hesitate one moment in coming to a judgment upon so plain and palpable a question?"
58931How fares it with thee?
58931How much may it want?
58931Is not that a foreign barque, friend?
58931Is that your sister, young man?
58931Is this thy Rosa, then, boy?
58931Marcella,said he to her abruptly,"what think ye of Charley Stewart?"
58931Nay, but cans''t thou not yet inquire more closely, Messire Andrew?
58931Nay, but how are we used when we do appear?
58931Nay, nay, how could I guess?
58931Nay, surely thou dost not believe that my Lord Mar died other than a natural death?
58931Oh, what shall I do?
58931Proof of the love of Rosa MacDermot, lady?
58931Proof, saidst thou?
58931Say''st thou so, old man?
58931Sir Walter Stewart is still here, is he not?
58931So thou wilt not let me put the wreath on thy bonnet, then?
58931Some where in the bleak north, are they not?
58931Stewart, are ye mad?
58931Then, what boots it for us to go to the party of this empty piece of sounding brass?
58931Thine uncle Sir Piers, Lady?
58931Was that all?
58931Was there no one else there who might have demanded a like portion of your approbation?
58931Well, Sir Captain,said the Duke, after Strang had taken a long draught of the wine,"what sayest thou to it?
58931What can an old man like me do to help thee?
58931What can it bode?
58931What could I do with a wife, who am so poor and unknown? 58931 What could prompt him to so horrible an act?"
58931What did the fellow say to thee, friend skipper?
58931What do I see?
58931What hath happened?
58931What is all this?
58931What is it that you dread they may portend?
58931What is right?
58931What may this be, upon which so much of thy happiness depends?
58931What mean ye, Sir Walter?
58931What proof, I pray thee?
58931What said he else?
58931What shall we do with this wretched carcass?
58931What stops you?
58931What strange conduct is this, Sir Walter?
58931What tricks?
58931What words did Sir Walter Stewart utter?
58931What wouldst thou hint, lady?
58931What wouldst thou insinuate lady? 58931 What wouldst thou insinuate?"
58931What-- what have I said?
58931What-- what wouldst thou say?
58931Where have you been all this long, long morning, dearest Charley?
58931Whither wouldst have me go?
58931Who can have murdered him? 58931 Who can have thus remembered me in my misfortunes?"
58931Who is he who so rudely challenges the Castle of Drummin?
58931Who knocks there?
58931Why not?
58931Why shouldst thou have thus sent Jane so rudely forth, when she hath yet so much to pack and to prepare?
58931You would not have the high- blooded war- steed to throw himself down in the same stye with obscene swine?
58931--Come, then, gentlemen, shall we adjourn to the fire, and commence our sitting?
58931And canst thou believe that I can coolly contemplate the probable accomplishment of any such prophecy?"
58931And in especial, what meaneth this last strange enigma?--What!--the Queen!--Speak Messire Andrew?
58931And where the Northern Crown?"
58931And who should I pray for, if I did not pray for blessings on that angel?"
58931And why should it be otherwise?
58931Author.--Is it possible?
58931Author.--Pray, Mr. Serjeant, what is supposed to be the origin of the name of Inchrory?
58931Back, didst thou say?"
58931But art thou sure of what thou sayest, lady?
58931But hast thou aught of tidings for me, that may give me a gleam of joy?--Say-- how wert thou received?"
58931But how the pest dost thou chance to know my name, Sir Skipper?"
58931But how were they to get poor Charley down from the tree?
58931But if he had ever intended to come, would he have sent, as he has done, for Charley?
58931But my worthy and kind friend Mr. Clifford is so careful of me-- mercy on me, what would my boys say if they beheld me?
58931But now!--How fares it with thy mother, boy?"
58931But say, does the King go to this party?"
58931But say, what sort of habitation hast thou in the north?"
58931But say, why is it that I have heard nought of thee for so long a time?
58931But what hast thou been doing with thyself then, since thou gavest up tailoring?"
58931But what hath he told thee himself?
58931But what is all this, and why should I waste time in such a recapitulation of forgeries?
58931But what moves you, my sovereign Lord?
58931But where is the Lion?
58931But, after so many years have passed away in disappointment, why should my fond and foolish heart still cling to deceitful hope?
58931But, idle or not, they boded no evil to me; and is it by Charley Stewart that they are to be grudged to me?"
58931But, if he is pleased with the youth, may he not yet come hither along with him?
58931Can it be?
58931Canst thou believe that I can forget my often repeated vows?
58931Canst thou then doubt that I ever could be any other''s than thine?"
58931Clifford.--How could it have been otherwise, my good man?
58931Come, say how hath it fared with thee and thy royal master, and where, and wherefore, hast thou left him?"
58931Could you for one moment suppose that I could compare Sir Walter Stewart to thee, my royal liege and husband?
58931Couldst thou not contrive to discover, whether some barque may not be soon looked for from thence with merchandize?"
58931Did-- did he-- did he ask thee for tidings of me?"
58931Didst thou not question him?"
58931Didst thou not think that we ourselves were of as fair a presence and appearance as thy minion Sir Walter Stewart?"
58931Grant.--Where, in the name of all goodness, can you have dropped from, my worthy sir?
58931Grant.--Who is to be story- teller?
58931Grant.--Who, in the name of wonder, can that be, who knocks so loudly at the outer door, in this lone place, at such an hour?
58931Hast thou never had doubts on that score?
58931Hast thou proof that it is really so?
58931Hath not thine own past experience of the fickle nature of woman cured thee of love?"
58931How canst thou satisfy me?
58931How comest thou to have a present for the Duke of Albany?"
58931How couldst thou be so rash?
58931Is Sir Walter Stewart to be held as an enemy before his own Castle of Drummin?"
58931Is it as good as that which thou hast been all night drinking?"
58931Is that a matter that should give thee pain to think of?"
58931Is this Stewart wealthy, I pray thee; and are his possessions ample enough for my desires?"
58931Knowest thou how the Duke is guarded?"
58931MacDermot?"
58931Methinks that something hath displeased you?"
58931My beloved Alice, can it indeed be thee?"
58931No suspicions?"
58931Oh, canst thou think of no other means?
58931Oh, holy Mother of God, can there be such villainy upon earth?"
58931Ran not the old woman''s words so?
58931Rosa, how didst thou come by them?"
58931See!--Know you not yonder stars which now approach each other to a conjunction so threatening?"
58931Surely, surely that doth not touch the loyalty of our Queen?"
58931Tell me, I pray thee, hast thou brought a French wife with thee?
58931Then, what have I to do with those glittering gauds that would better become a bride?
58931Thou wert not wo nt to conceal a thought from me; why shouldst thou do so now?
58931What doth all this import?
58931What say you to that, Mr. Macpherson?
58931What sound was that I heard?
58931What think you, Mr. Serjeant?
58931What think you, Rosa, of being a tailor''s wife?"
58931Where hast thou been wandering during this many a day?"
58931Who was there who came within an hundred degrees of him?
58931Why all this mystery?
58931Why is it that thou wert as silent in thy communication as if thou hadst been dead?
58931Why shouldst thou deny me my share of that sadness, which, being thine, ought to belong to both of us?"
58931Why the fiend did''st thou not draw from that cask-- aw-- aw-- at first?
58931Why, what flow could have possibly stood against such a flow as that which now streams from your wet garments, Mr. Macpherson?
58931and what was thine answer to him?"
58931are these the charitable errands on which thou art wo nt to send this boy?"
58931cried Alice, with unwonted animation;"Say, boy, looked he well?
58931cried Bessy MacDermot, wringing her hands;"Oh, how can I face Alice Asher, after thus causing so sad a mischance to her darling, her beautiful boy?"
58931cried Charley;"What could tempt thee to risk thy life for such trifles?
58931cried the captain of the guard, with a certain air of suspicion;"the Duke of Albany, saidst thou?
58931cried the skipper;"mais vous avez joué votre role à merveille----""What said the fellow?
58931demanded Rosa;"surely Sir Walter Stewart may make thee his esquire?"
58931demanded the captain of the guard;"and what didst thou say to him?"
58931exclaimed Alice fervently;"Then, come boy-- tell me what passed between you?"
58931exclaimed Huntly, in surprise,"Art thou then the youth who had so nearly deprived me of so valuable a kinsman and dependant?
58931exclaimed James, with an air of great dissatisfaction,"Ar''t sure that he so spake?
58931exclaimed Rosa, smiling--"that I am to be a landed lady?
58931exclaimed Sir Walter,"What suspicions?"
58931exclaimed Sir Walter,"nothing, methinks, in his own bosom; but canst thou not guess who could have prompted him?"
58931has the eagle carried off your child?"
58931how could I have lived till now, without hearing from those who have seen and admired him?
58931impossible!--Where is the liar who hath thus abused thine ear regarding her who is purity and truth itself?
58931interrupted Captain Strang;"none of thine own outlandish language, dost thou hear?
58931said Rosa coaxingly--"what risk would I not run to give thee pleasure?"
58931was it murder then?--murder of the most horrible description?
58931we are yet in time?"
58931what do these dread signs portend?"
58931what do ye with those other two casks which those fellows of thine are carrying?"
58931who comes here?"
5966And should n''t the poor be pitied?
5966And so, from sympathy, you side with my cattle?
5966And take you away, Annie?
5966And what did follow?
5966And what was she?
5966And when was it you heard from Lachlan, Annie?
5966And who knows,suggested Ian,"what good it may be to the fox himself to make the best of a greedy life?"
5966And why not?
5966And you think it hard?
5966Any presbyterian place?
5966Are not you his chief?
5966Are you a big man?
5966Are you going to shoot?
5966Are you going to stand there all night?
5966Are you going?
5966Are you sure it was God, Ian?
5966Are you sure of that? 5966 Are you sure you can get me over?"
5966Are you sure you will not take cold mother dear?
5966Because I undertook to carry your bag, was I bound to endure your company?
5966But how can we come to a better-- I mean a FAIRER opinion of each other, when we meet so seldom?
5966But how could you endure the cold-- at night-- and without food?
5966But shall I tell you,he went on,"what seems to me the most unpleasant thing about the business?"
5966But what is the good to us of talking about such things?
5966But why should YOU do it?
5966But why then should Christ have suffered?
5966COULD they be made just to be got rid of?
5966Can it be God?
5966Did he see their faces?
5966Did it ever strike you as very large?
5966Did the hairy worm go to the holy land too?
5966Did you ever read Zanoni?
5966Did you ever see London?
5966Did you ever see anything very big?
5966Did you ever see it from the top of Hampstead heath?
5966Did you never feel,he resumed,"as if you could not anyhow get room enough?"
5966Did you see my niece to- night at the shop?
5966Do n''t you know the palmer- worm? 5966 Do n''t you see, Chrissy,"she said,"he reasoned this way:''If she tell her mother a lie, she may tell me a lie some day too!''?"
5966Do n''t you think we had better be going, Mercy? 5966 Do they eat each other?"
5966Do they not respect the rich man because he is rich, and look down on the poor man because he is poor?
5966Do you belong to these parts?
5966Do you know the very bird?
5966Do you know them?
5966Do you like ploughing?
5966Do you not think he looks much better going about God''s business?
5966Do you think ghosts see what goes on after they are dead?
5966Had he big horns?
5966Had n''t you better take him yourself, Macruadh? 5966 Have you anything I could carry for you?"
5966He knows enough; and if he did not, would you allow him to do as he pleased because he did n''t know better? 5966 How can you, when you do not believe what God says about him?"
5966How could anything beautiful be frightful?
5966How do you know that? 5966 How is it nonsense?"
5966How is our mother?
5966How many were there, do you think, of them that fell?
5966I suppose you do whatever you please now, ladies?
5966Ian, you have n''t given up praying?
5966If my brother and I tell you honestly what we thought of you when first we saw you,said Ian,"will you tell us honestly what you thought of us?"
5966If the fox is of no good in the world,said Mercy,"why was he made?"
5966Is EVERYBODY to blame that is idle?
5966Is it not pitiable to be poor?
5966Is it not very dull here in the winter?
5966Is the fox a sacred animal in the south?
5966Is the gentleman a friend of yours, Alister?
5966It was cowardly and unfair,said Christina:"was it not for HIS sake she did it?"
5966It was not this morning, then, before you left your chamber?
5966Like the devils, mother?
5966Mother, would you take my God from me? 5966 My name is an historical one too-- but that is not in question.--Do you know your crest ought to be a hairy worm?"
5966Not if you said to him, DON''T!-eh, Annie?
5966Not more than God, mother?
5966Only do n''t you see Peregrine means pilgrim? 5966 Shall I tell you where I think I did once pray to God, mother?"
5966Then why do you say it?
5966Then you are not coming?
5966Then you do not accept the Bible as your guide?
5966Then you do not believe that the justice of God demands the satisfaction of the sinner''s endless punishment?
5966Then you do say your prayers? 5966 There ca n''t surely be a hotel up there?"
5966There would be more lives of fish-- would there not?
5966Well, who has not called?
5966Well?
5966Well?
5966What are you thinking of, Captain Macruadh?
5966What brought you home in such haste?
5966What can I do at home, mother? 5966 What did you want in such a lonely place at that time of the night?"
5966What did you want with the wolves, Ian?
5966What do you call believing in him, then?
5966What do you mean by his justice then?
5966What does it matter what a fellow like that thinks of you?
5966What does it mean?
5966What does your surname mean?
5966What have you killed?
5966What if some things are, just that we may get rid of them?
5966What is it?
5966What is the story about?
5966What is your coat of arms?
5966What made you think so?
5966What sort of church had you to go to in St. Petersburg, Ian?
5966What sorts would you have them take?
5966What were you doing in Moscow? 5966 What would be the good of that?"
5966What!--not those hideous coffins-- and the bodies dropping out of them-- all crawling, no doubt?
5966When was it? 5966 Where are you from, Ian?"
5966Where else could they be from?
5966Which way were you going?
5966Who goes there?
5966Why did your father call you Peregrine?
5966Why do n''t you say the IDLE?
5966Why do they make such a bonfire-- with nobody but themselves to enjoy it? 5966 Why do you call it nonsense?"
5966Why do you walk so fast?
5966Why have you never shot him? 5966 Why not?
5966Why should I have him? 5966 Why should he have liked it?"
5966Why should you wish nonsense to be true?
5966Why then do you not come to him, Ian?
5966Why would it be rude? 5966 Why?"
5966Will it be nonsense?
5966Will you introduce me?
5966Will you tell me something you do believe?
5966Would he like that better?
5966Would you have us leave you in this wild place?
5966Would you like me to tell you a story then?
5966Would you not have them take idle ladies as well?
5966Yes, yes; I know you all love my father''s son and my uncle''s nephew; but how can it go well with the Macruadh when it goes ill with his clan? 5966 Yes; I know that.--I hope the dear fellow is well?"
5966You believe, then,said Mercy,"we have a right to make the lower animals work?"
5966You fancy your gun protects your bag?
5966You think I have no right to keep them captive, and make them work?
5966Your grandmother?
5966Your mother-- eh?
5966''How?''
5966''Is this your season for sheep- shearing?''
5966''Then you are the farmer?''
5966''What do you mean?''
5966''What should I wake up for?''
5966--Say, vagrant, can''st thou grant to me A slice of thy philosophy?
5966A dead stuffed thing-- how could that be mine at all?
5966Again Ian turned to her: was it possible there were tears in her voice?
5966Ai n''t it rather hard work for them?
5966And why, although an excellent type of its kind, should I take the trouble to record their conversation?
5966Are you sure it was good for mistress Conal to have that shilling, Alister?
5966Being, in their development, if not in their nature, commonplace, what should they talk about but clothes or young men?
5966But I can not understand: how comes it to look sometimes as if independence must be the greater?
5966But faith in what?"
5966But how come these people THERE?
5966But how is my lady, your mother?"
5966But was that a sleeping thunder- cloud, or only the shadow of his eyebrows?
5966But which of them was she taking a fancy to?
5966But,"said Mercy,"have the fishes not as good a right to their life as the birds?"
5966Did I never tell you what happened to me once in that way?
5966Did Jesus DESERVE punishment?
5966Did he not take self for the root of self in him, when God only is the root of all self?
5966Did she want him to say he did not think them idle?
5966Do YOU not know that in your own country you owe a stranger hospitality?"
5966Do you dare to say your father speculated instead of obeying?"
5966Do you think we shall find anything to eat?"
5966Does he write very wicked books?"
5966Ere she knew, Mercy had said--"And you did n''t find any room with me?"
5966For if she felt as one who had a claim upon things to go pleasantly with her, had she not put in her claim, and had it acknowledged?
5966HOW COME THEY THERE?
5966HOW COME THEY THERE?
5966Have you a furlough?"
5966How came he to think to be greater by setting up for himself?
5966How could there be much attraction between Christina and him?
5966How did you ever get it?"
5966How far?"
5966How is it that, not being true, it should ever look so?
5966How then am I to trust you?"
5966How was I to know--""But he didn''t-- did he?"
5966How was it that it looked so to him?
5966I must answer you truly.--You do not give me room: have you not just told me you never longed for any yourself?"
5966I''m glad he did n''t: I always feel bad after a row!--Can a conscience ever get too fastidious, Ian?"
5966If a man say,''I have not been unjust; I owed the man nothing;''he sides with Death-- says with the typical murderer,''Am I my brother''s keeper?''
5966If he were to put forth his power, might he not drag her down into unbelief?
5966If these were not equal to admiring her as she deserved, what more remunerative labour than teaching them to do so?
5966If they can not pay their rents, others will; what is it to you if the rents are paid?
5966Is Fergus your brother''s name?"
5966Is it his thought coming up in me, flung from the hollow darkness of his soul into mine?
5966Is my reader seized with that form of divine longing which wonders what lies over the nearest hill?
5966Macruadh?"
5966Mercy did not think to say"WAS IT?"
5966My companion had a bottle of vodki, and--""What is that?"
5966Nonne habeam te tristem, Planet of the human system?
5966Paul''s?"
5966Peregrine means a pilgrim, you say, but what of that?
5966Shall I first tell him what the room was like, or first describe the two persons in it?
5966Shall I make up for it by telling you a pretty story?"
5966She had said--"Did you not feel the cold very much at St. Petersburg last winter, Ian?"
5966She must cry to him aloud, but what should she cry?
5966She was not FOR the truth!--could she then be OF the truth?
5966She was not jealous of Mercy, for was she not beautiful and Mercy plain?
5966Should she condole with the man because he had to work?
5966So long as your theory satisfies you, mother, why should I show you mine?
5966The question is, do you place your faith for salvation in the sufferings of Christ for you?"
5966The remark silenced the brothers: where indeed could be use without interest?
5966There are among them creatures not altogether differing from us, but differing much from each other,--""As much as you and I?"
5966Was not that Satan''s temptation, Father?
5966We have horses of our own, and know all about them.--Don''t we, Mercy?"
5966What can they be doing it for?
5966What could she mean?
5966What did you do it for?"
5966What had he about him to give him in pledge?
5966What has my self ever done for me, but lead me wrong?
5966What if it be drawing away her heart from him who is watching his old child in her turf- hut?
5966What if the devil be grinning at her from, that shilling?"
5966What is it?"
5966What is there to share if the thing be of no value in itself?
5966What ought she to answer?
5966Whence then was this quiet that was upon her?
5966Who CAN they be?"
5966Why did you not tell me?"
5966Why should I make a life less in the world?"
5966Why should he imagine in the presence of the actual?
5966Why should it?
5966Will the Adversary ever come to see that thou only art grand and beautiful?
5966Would it be nonsense to the fishes?"
5966Would you blot him out of the deeps of the universe?"
5966Would you like to change it?"
5966Wretched wanderer, can it be The poor laws have leaguered thee?
5966and if the dogs turned to wolves again, where would they be?
5966are you mad?
5966exclaimed Christina, with horror in her tone,"it''s a fox!--Is it possible you have shot a fox?"
5966or, if they were, that they were quite right?
5966remarked Christina,"he''s a nice young man too, is he not?
5966said Mercy:"how will you get home through the darkness?"
5966why dream when the eyes can see?
5966worms and all?"
5966would you put me into one of the priests''offices that I may eat a piece of bread?
5968Am I a good enough farmer, then, to serve your turn?
5968And have all your people quite under your own care?
5968And what news is there from Ian?
5968Are you equal to a bit of bad news, mother?
5968Are you far behind with your rent?
5968Are you not aware you are trespassing on my land, Macruadh?
5968Are you sure God will teach me?
5968Besides,she went on,"why should I go to anyone for counsel?
5968But Mercy,said the chief, when they had walked some distance without speaking,"do you think you could live here always, and never see London again?"
5968But how? 5968 But now,"resumed the chief,"when will you be going for the rest of your peats?"
5968But she understands?
5968But was it not a dangerous place to be in?
5968But, sir,said Donal,"is it the part of brave men to give up their rights?"
5968Ca n''t you think of some way? 5968 Can you tell me, Macruadh,"she said,"what makes Mrs. Conal so spiteful always?
5968Could you be content to be a farmer''s wife?
5968Could you hear us at that height?
5968Craftie,said the chief,"is what you are telling me true?"
5968Did it draw you and my father from the way of peace?
5968Did it never strike you that insolence might be carried too far?
5968Did you always climb your dream- hills alone?
5968Do you know the tool- house?
5968Do you remember how Portia gave herself a wound, that she might prove to her husband she was able to keep a secret?
5968Else you wo n''t marry me? 5968 HOME, said you?"
5968Has not God left us the Macruadh? 5968 Have you been to a ball?"
5968How AM I to see you again, Mercy?
5968How can you say then it is no temptation to you?
5968How could I, Ian?
5968How could you tell that we might not object to your hearing us?
5968How did you know it was abuse?
5968How did you know we were silent?
5968How do you get up on the walls?
5968How forgive trust? 5968 How is he hurt?"
5968How is that?
5968How is the Macruadh, please?
5968How many people do you know?
5968How? 5968 How?"
5968I come to ask if you would like to buy my land?
5968I think-- I hope so.--Don''t you think Christina is much improved, lan?
5968I would say,''My dear sir,''--I may say''My dear sir,''may I not? 5968 Ian Macruadh,"said Christina solemnly, and she looked him in the eyes as she said it,"how can you believe there is a God?
5968If he should insist on your having something with me, you will not refuse, will you? 5968 If you speak to me like that,"she cried,"my heart will break!--Must you go away?"
5968Is anything the matter?
5968Is everything out of it?
5968Is he in danger?
5968Is it law, sir?
5968Is it my own mother asks me? 5968 Is it not each to help the other to do the will of God?"
5968Is it your part, mother, to make her suffer for the sins of her fathers?
5968Is not that enough, mother?
5968Is she different, mother, from what she was before you had the letter?
5968Is the nest of the old eagle his land? 5968 It means YOU any way, does it not?
5968It was so good of you to bring her!--What is it, Mercy?
5968Lovely because you love me? 5968 More than to save us?"
5968Please, please, what is it?
5968See you not my property lying to the hand of the thief? 5968 Suppose he should reply,''Do you think I am going to send my daughter from my house like a beggar?
5968That would not please, would it?
5968The sins of the fathers are visited on the children!--You will not dispute that?'' 5968 Then what does it mean?"
5968Then why are you in court dress?
5968Then why should you fear it will draw me from it? 5968 Then you mean to go on with it?"
5968Then you will always trust me?
5968To whom are you talking, Alister?--yourself or a ghost?
5968What ARE you thinking of, Alister?
5968What IS that for, Mercy?
5968What better are we for that? 5968 What do you do it for?"
5968What do you mean to do?
5968What do you think of THAT, Alister?
5968What do you think that fellow has been here about this morning?
5968What fellow?
5968What good will the peats be to you, woman,said one of them not unkindly,"when you have no hearth?"
5968What have I done to vex you, Mercy?
5968What hour?
5968What is it possible you can mean, Alister?
5968What is saving but taking us out of the dark into the light? 5968 What is that?"
5968What is the matter, mother dear?
5968What will you do then?
5968When do you go?
5968When should a Celt, who of all the world loves radiance and colour, put on his gay attire? 5968 Where are you going, Macruadh?"
5968Where are you going?
5968Where is the nearest magistrate?
5968Where''s the good of being chief then? 5968 Whether he knows it or not?
5968Who are you to say which is the stranger''s, and which the Macruadh''s? 5968 Who dared interfere with you, mother?
5968Why did n''t you come and meet us then?
5968Why have you come up to this lonely place?
5968Why should papa never be told the truth?
5968Why should you mind my saying what is true?
5968Why were you in such a dangerous place?
5968Why?
5968Will the law not help us, Macruadh?
5968Will you go with him, Mercy?
5968Would you count it sufficient reason,returned Ian,"that we desired to preserve its testimony to the former status of our family?"
5968Would you mind letting the flag fly, Alister? 5968 Yes, I remember.--But you do n''t mean you do mason''s work as well as everything else?"
5968You do not imagine, mother,he said,"it will make any difference as to Mercy?"
5968You forgive me then, and will not think ill of me?
5968You too have been tried with terrible thoughts?
5968You will be back by supper- time, Alister, I suppose?
5968You will not mind sharing your bed with me-- will you, my child?
5968You will not tell anybody?
5968You would n''t mind my sitting in the kitchen till he does?
5968You would not like to be left in it alone, with none but unfriendly Sasunnachs about you-- not one of your own people to close your eyes?
5968--What then, Alister?"
5968--What would you say then?"
5968--what would you say then?"
5968Am I losing my senses?
5968And is not that a beautiful house in which a woman''s ear did first listen to the words of love?
5968And where would you be carrying me?
5968And who but God, save thy father was indeed the devil, hath sent thee?
5968Are you not my Alister''s choice?
5968Because thou art rich, is he not also a man?--a man made in the image of the same God?
5968But do n''t you think it must be nearly time for people to wake from their first sleep?"
5968But why should that make her doubt?
5968But why should you take it for granted that Alister will think differently from you?"
5968But will you be able to bear poverty, Mercy?"
5968But would that have been honest?
5968But, Donal, how dare you say what you do?
5968Can he make his heather white or his ptarmigan black?
5968Can it fare differently from other forces, and be lost?
5968Could God deserve less than thanks perfect from any one of his creatures?
5968Could I have a better counsellor than Ian?
5968Could he do the thing he thought wrong?"
5968Could it be for revenge?
5968Did I ever break my word to you, Chrissy?"
5968Do you agree?"
5968Do you really mean it, Macruadh?"
5968Do you remember telling me to read Julius Caesar?"
5968Does he not share everything with us?"
5968Does she distrust her husband and her son together?"
5968For a moment she kept silence, then said:--"It would be a grand thing to have the whole country- side your own again-- wouldn''t it, Alister?"
5968For the multitude, or for the one?"
5968For who in heaven or on earth has fathomed the marvel betwixt the man and the woman?
5968For who so likely to understand them as he who knew the surface within them as well as the clay- floor of his own hut?
5968God made man and woman to love each other: why should not the waking to love and the waking to truth come together, seeing both were of God?
5968Had he crippled his reach toward men by the narrowness of his conscience toward God?
5968Had he hurt her pride?
5968Had she, alas, been too confident in their greatness?
5968Have you lived to all eternity?
5968He paused; Christina grew pale, and said,"Wo n''t you tell me what it was?"
5968How am I to blame?
5968How dared you bind Hector of the Stags?"
5968How did they allow him to come near the house in my absence?
5968How do you know what you say?
5968How much have you said to Mercy?"
5968I said to myself,''Is no poor man to climb to heaven any more?''
5968I showed you, did I not, the ship in our coat of arms-- the galley at least, in which, they say, we arrived at the island?"
5968If it be not lost, and have but changed its form, in what shape shall we look for it?
5968If there were, would he allow such a dreadful thing to befall one of his creatures?
5968If thou say,''Am I therefore his keeper?''
5968Is he not my friend?
5968Is it not a holy house where my father prayed morning and evening, and read the words of grace and comfort?
5968Is it not to me sacred as the cottage at Nazareth to the poor man who lived there with his peasants?
5968Is that an offence?"
5968Is that what you meant?"
5968Is there anything I can do for you?"
5968Is there not room above, in the fields of the air?
5968Is there not room below with the dead?
5968Might not some figs grow on some thistles?
5968Must she be brought to confess that their grand ways had their little heart of pride?
5968Must she not first of all be true?
5968No princedom was worth contrasting with poverty and her farmer- chief, but why should not his love be able to carry her few thousands?
5968Not many are allowed to die together!--You do n''t think, do you, sir, that marriages go for nothing in the other world?"
5968Oh, why did you not tell me before?
5968Ought I not rather to suffer the rise of yet greater obstacles between you and me?"
5968She hoped God would not be strict with him, for might not the very grandeur of his character be rooted in rebellion?
5968Takes an ounce of shot in the stomach, and never says''What the devil do you mean by it?''
5968The chief ran: could the new laird be actually unhousing the aged, helpless woman?
5968The chief''s heart was troubled; could it be that she doubted his strength to resist temptation?
5968The question was, what were the rights of a father?
5968The rich"pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,"but what would any land become without the poor in it?
5968Throned in the hearts, and influencing the characters of men, was he not in a far nobler position than money could give him?
5968Two men, it is, I believe, you employ, Macruadh?"
5968Vengeance is his, and he will know where to give many stripes, and where few.--What would you have us do, laird?"
5968WHY should she love him?
5968Was he awake or dreaming?
5968Was it necessary to tell her?
5968Was it to him I sold the land in London?
5968Was the chief, whatever his pride, capable of being ungenerous?
5968Was the dream of his boyhood come true?
5968Was there nothing but a lie to save her from bitterest humiliation?
5968We ARE going soon, are we not?"
5968What are they?''
5968What becomes of it?
5968What better influences for her, for any woman, than those of unselfish men?
5968What could he have to do with you, mother?
5968What could the devils mean?
5968What did he do it for?"
5968What harm have we done?
5968What has turned you against us again?
5968What is it their first duty to do towards each other?"
5968What right had the chief, as she called him, to interfere between a landlord and his tenants?
5968What right hast thou in a world where I want room for the red deer, and the big sheep, and the brown cattle?
5968What should she be now, she said to herself, if Alister had not taught her?
5968What then?"
5968What was left for a man to do, when a woman laid her soul before him?
5968What was to be done?
5968What was to be said?
5968What would you answer him?"
5968When will you allow me to wait upon you again?"
5968Where have you put Hector of the Stags?"
5968Where have you put him?"
5968Where is your generosity, Ian?"
5968Which of us has coveted your silver or your gold?
5968Which of us has stretched out the hand to take of your wheat or your barley?
5968Who but God sent him?
5968Who was it if not his mother?
5968Why did he give her the letter, and go without saying a word?
5968Why did you not let me know?"
5968Why did you not prepare me for it?
5968Why should she love such a fellow?
5968Why should the strange, burnt- out old cinder of a satellite be the star of lovers?
5968Why should you mind it?"
5968Will he dry up the lochs, and stay the rivers?
5968Will he remove the mountains from their places, or cause the generations of men to cease from the earth?
5968Will you come, Mercy?"
5968Will you pretend to know the marches better than my father, who was born and bred in the heather, and knows every stone on the face of the hills?"
5968Would a single note in the song of the sons of the morning fail because God did or would not do a thing?
5968Would it be reasonable, Mercy, to sacrifice the good of so many poor people to spare one rich man one single annoyance, which is yet no hurt?
5968Would it be right?
5968Would not his pride revolt against giving his daughter to a man who would not receive his blessing in money?
5968Would you burn the good peats?"
5968Would you mind forgiving me, dear?"
5968You know the old proverb, Macruadh,--''When poverty comes in at the door,''--?"
5968but after all, what can money do?
5968cried Christina;"--as if we could have anything to say we should wish YOU not to hear?"
5968cried the mother;"what has happened?
5968gasped Sercombe at length, after many attempts to get out which, the bystanders easily foiled--"you do n''t mean to drown me, do you?"
5968he said, all that was fatherly in the chief rising at the sight,"who has been making you unhappy?"
5968he said;"what would become of them if you fell?"
5968or was he dreaming it on in manhood?
5968said the chief, calling her by her name,"because a man is unjust to you, is that a reason for you to be unjust to him who died for you?
5968she exclaimed,"have you nothing to say to that?"
5968she went on, as if forestalling contempt;"for is it not to me a holy house where the woman lay in the agony whence first I opened my eyes to the sun?
5968what influences so good for any man as those of unselfish women?
5968will you?"
5967A dome-- is it not?
5967Am I to believe my ears, Alister?
5967And can you hear what they will be saying?
5967And got frost- bitten for your pains?
5967And how about horse and dog?
5967And that is why you speak of Nature as a person?
5967And what were their clothes like, Rob?
5967And what were they saying?
5967Are you her father-- or her lover?
5967Are you seeing any angels, Rob?
5967Are you sure we shall not be drowned?
5967But I want to know what you mean by her having her revenge on you?
5967But how am I to begin? 5967 But how am I to get into it?
5967But how can I do a thing without understanding it?
5967But then how much is required?
5967But where''s Ian?
5967But,said Mercy,"how can one love a thing that has no life?"
5967By what?
5967Can you call it learning a lesson if you do not understand it?
5967Could you tell when last you were alone?
5967Did any flower ever make you a moment later in going to bed, or a moment earlier in getting out of it?
5967Did he say there would be no loving there, Alister? 5967 Did you understand it?"
5967Do n''t you see his hands holding her out of the water?
5967Do you know how Chaucer felt about flowers?
5967Do you mean nothing so beautiful?
5967Do you suppose I should heed anything you said?
5967Do you think anything could make it better for you to stop here, after God thought it better for you to go?
5967Do you think the young ladies of the New House could understand Rob of the Angels, Ian?
5967Does he believe what he tells?
5967Had n''t you better tell your master what has happened?
5967Have you done anything to offend her?
5967How could they be brighter and darker both at once?
5967How do you know that, Ian?
5967How do you know that?
5967How do you make out that it is so different? 5967 How may I serve your imperial highness?"
5967How then can you worship in the temple of Nature?
5967How will your crops fare, Alister?
5967If that be all you mean, why should you make it seem so difficult?
5967Is anybody with her?
5967Is conscience then not a law of our nature? 5967 Is it manners here to prevent a man from speaking his mind at his own table?
5967It was true about him then?
5967It was your deliberate intention then to forget the caution I gave you?
5967Look up,he said,"and tell me what you see.--What is the shape over us?"
5967Many who would listen to a poor woman because she plagued them?
5967May we join the ladies?
5967Mr. Sercombe,said Ian,"had we not better put off our bout till to- morrow?
5967Must it be a breach with our new neighbours?
5967No,answered Mercy, with a puzzled laugh;"how could it?"
5967Not on Christmas- day? 5967 Now did you really see and hear all that, Rob?"
5967Now what do you think, Ian?
5967On what do you found such a sad conclusion?
5967Other things not being equal,--?
5967Shall I be telling you what I heard them saying to each other this last night of all?
5967Shall I give you an instance?
5967Should we not have given thanks to find ourselves lifted out of the cold rushing waters, in which we felt our strength slowly sinking?
5967Something went wrong, sons: what was it she said?
5967Tell me then, Miss Mercy, is there anything you love very much? 5967 Tell me this, Alister: can a thing be believed that is not true?"
5967Then you really think,she returned,"that God interfered to save us?"
5967Was he rude to you, Annie?
5967Was it you that fired the gun?
5967Was there any real person in our Lord''s mind when he told that one about the unjust judge?
5967Well,he returned,"what better way of going out of the world is there than by the door of help?
5967What I want to ask you,said Ian,"is-- did you ever feel alone?
5967What am I to say to him?
5967What are you about?
5967What do you mean by LOVING YOUR COUNTRY?
5967What do you think, Ian, of the stories Rob of the Angels tells?
5967What does it matter, mother? 5967 What has happened?"
5967What if your love of house and lands prevented you from being sure, when he called you, that it was he?
5967What is it all about?
5967What is the matter with you, Mistress Conal?
5967What notion could you have had of majesty, if the heavens seemed scarce higher than the earth? 5967 What was it?"
5967What were they like, Rob, dear?
5967What would you like to know about him?
5967What!--not when we found ourselves above the water, safe and well, and more alive than ever? 5967 What''s been the row?"
5967What?
5967What?
5967When are you here?
5967Where are we?
5967Where are you going then?
5967Where is Christina?
5967Where is Christina?
5967Where''s Mercy and the children?
5967Why did n''t the chief write himself?
5967Why did you strike him then?
5967Why do n''t he then? 5967 Why do you say that?
5967Why do you think so?
5967Why indeed?
5967Why not?
5967Why the deuce did n''t you keep the precious monster in a paddock, and let people know him for a tame animal?
5967Will you give your word to leave Annie of the shop alone?
5967Will you not come and sleep at our house?
5967Would you care to vaunt your country at the expense of any other?
5967Would you feel bound to love a man more because he was a fellow- countryman?
5967Would you not like to take your breath for a moment?
5967Would you say a woman interfered in the management of her own house? 5967 Would you want to live, if he wanted you to die?"
5967You did not make any remark?
5967You love your country-- don''t you, Alister?
5967You remember, Ian, what you said to her about giving Nature an opportunity of exerting her influence? 5967 You take the cheque to represent the combined wisdom of the New House?"
5967You wish you had not given it him?
5967You would n''t set me to study Wordsworth?
5967You would not really have me cry over a flower, Mr. Ian? 5967 Your nation?"
5967''And how do you know it is not?''
5967''Are the red deer, and the hares, and the birds in paradise?''
5967''Are you far from home, gentlemen?''
5967''Can you go and come as you please?''
5967''Do they know it?''
5967''Does not that explain to you,''she said,''how it is that I have slept so long?
5967''How am I to get a light?''
5967''How could I, when I was n''t made?''
5967''Not love your own will?''
5967''What do you mean?''
5967''Why?''
5967''Would you not like better to go and come of yourselves, as my father and I do?''
5967''You do not mind your little brother asking you questions?''
5967Alister, would you willingly walk out of the house to follow him up and down for ever?"
5967Am I free to break the rascal''s bones?"
5967And if not his duty, was he called to do it from mere bravado of goodness?
5967And what district do you like best?
5967And why did he turn his face to the wall?
5967Are you aware, sir, that you are a poacher?"
5967Besides, as elder sister, must she not protect the inexperienced Mercy?
5967But how do you think it would affect your nature, your being?"
5967But tell me, Alister, do you believe the parables of our Lord?"
5967But to what save the heavenly shall the earthly appeal in its sore need, its widowhood, its orphanage?
5967But when a rather grim, handsome old woman appeared, asking him-- it took the most of her English--"What would you be wanting, sir?"
5967Can one be said to interfere where he is always at work?
5967Can you believe he ever made a woman that she might be dishonoured?--that a man might caress and despise her?"
5967Can you eat that which is not bread?"
5967Can you suppose that Jesus at any time could not thank his Father for sending him into the world?"
5967Certainly something was wrong with her- but what?
5967Could this thing be indeed his duty?
5967Could you not open your church- door a little wider to let me in?
5967Did ever a flower make you cry yourself?
5967Did he not, when a boy, fight a great golden eagle on its nest, thinking to deliver the lamb it had carried away?
5967Did he not, when a child, all but lose his life in the rescue of an idiot from the swollen burn?
5967Did it ever press itself upon you that there was nobody near-- that if you called nobody would hear?
5967Did the poor fellow eat the stick?
5967Did you ever for a moment inhabit loneliness?
5967Did you ever think of the origin of the word AVARICE?"
5967Did you learn at school to work the rule of three?"
5967Did you perceive that it was safe to buy or sell, to build a house, or lay out a garden, by the rule of three?"
5967Do n''t you really mean we are going to be saved?"
5967Do you not see I am happy now?
5967Do you see what I am driving at?
5967Do you tell stories like that from the pulpit?"
5967Does not the''Bible itself tell us that we are pilgrims and strangers in the world, that here we have no abiding city?
5967For what is madness but two or more wills in one body?
5967For who can know anything except on the supposition of its remaining the same?
5967Had she not surprised him in an act of worship?
5967Had the new aspect come forth to answer this glow in her heart, or was the glow in her heart the reflection of this new aspect of the world?
5967Have you had a walk to- day?"
5967He had heard the young men were going to leave: were they about to attempt a last assault on the glory of the glen?
5967He that believeth not in the good man whom he hath seen, how shall he believe in the God whom he hath not seen?
5967How am I to imagine it, when you go on like that in his hearing?
5967How could we have thanked God for deliverance if we were drowned?"
5967How else can we look for the moderation to follow with responsibilities?
5967How many of us actually believe in any support we do not immediately feel?
5967How was it that, now first in danger, self came less to the front with her than usual?
5967I was only inquiring whether at that point you were nearer to Nature.--Tell me-- were you ever alone?"
5967Ian, you are a man of the world: you will not refuse to pledge me?"
5967If I am I, and you are you, how can it be very different?
5967If I confess that what they say to me sometimes makes me weep, how can I call my feeling for them anything but love?
5967If a scene or a song play upon the organ of my heart as no other scene or song could, why should I ask at all whether it be beautiful?
5967In that wide outspreading of the lifted arms, was he not worshipping the whole, the Pan?
5967Is it not simply that the righteous are worth troubling?
5967Is it of hell direct, or what is there in it of good to begin with?
5967Is it so you acknowledge his presence?"
5967Is that the kind of welcome to give a poor new- dead man?
5967It is not much, is it?"
5967Most people seem to fancy he did, for how else could they forget the dead as they do, and look so little for their resurrection?
5967Must not the lower laws be subject to the higher?
5967Of course you make an exception at times; and if at any time, why not on the merriest day of the year?
5967Oh!--What the devil would you protect her from?"
5967Only Christina could not be left behind, and how was she to walk in a silk stocking over a road frozen hard as glass?
5967Or is it below the level of our instincts?
5967Our Lord was sent first to the lost sheep of the house of Israel:-how would you bear to be told that he loved them more than Africans or Scotsmen?"
5967Our feeling for many of them doubtless owes something to childish associations; but how did they get their hold of our childhood?
5967Peregrine Palmer,"what IS the world coming to?
5967Sercombe?"
5967She did not see much in the tale: how could she?
5967She started, grew white, stood straight up, grew red as a sunset:--was it-- could it be?--"Is this love?"
5967She was silent yet a moment, then said,"Your name?"
5967Should we be freer, Alister, if we were independent of each other?
5967Suppose he should say,''Why did you make a beast of me?''!
5967The thought, IS HE A PANTHEIST?
5967Thinking of her walk with Ian on Christmas day,--"Would you mind telling me something about your brother?"
5967Till a child is awake, how tell his mood?--until a woman is awaked, how tell her nature?
5967Was it God wanting her to do something?
5967Was she in the bad place?
5967Was she so silly as mind being alone?
5967Was the idea of marrying her into an old and once powerful family like that of the Macruadh, to her husband inconceivable?
5967Was there no possibility of securing one of them?
5967Were those shapes two demons, waiting till she had got over her dying?
5967What ARE you laughing at?
5967What can you mean?"
5967What could it mean?
5967What dreadful thing could they mean?
5967What harm can it do the bag?
5967What if he was her friend, and she had not known it because she never spoke to him, never asked him to do anything for her?
5967What is it whether we live in this room or another?
5967What is this passion for subjugation?
5967What parish?
5967What part of the parish?
5967When did you eat last?"
5967Where could this creature of such awful speed be carrying me?
5967Where then would he have lain if I had not prayed for him?''
5967Where?"
5967Who can tell what a nature may prove, after feeding on good food for a while?
5967Who knows himself?--and how then shall he know his neighbour?
5967Why did she feel so uncomfortable?
5967Why did they enter our souls at all?
5967Why should she be afraid?
5967Why should we have the idea of more than we want?
5967Without this humanity where were your friend?
5967Would he not say,''Let the man have it; my hour was come, or the Some One would not have let him kill me!''?"
5967Would it not be a dreadful thing to lie tossed for centuries under the sea- waves to which the torrent had borne us?
5967Would the old walls, in greater part built without mortar, stand the rush?
5967You might love a dog dearly, and never care to see the sun rise!--Tell me, did any flower ever make you cry?
5967could it imply danger?
5967cut your throats?"
5967exclaimed Christina;"what do you mean?"
5967has the carline got into my very bed?''
5967have n''t you wit enough left to light a candle?
5967he said:"You think he wants to be told anything?
5967in any arms we do not see?
5967returned Ian,"but do you?
5967returned Ian,"can you understand no better than that?
5967said his mother at length;"have you bid farewell to your senses?"
5967that they are capable of receiving good from being troubled?
5967this hunger for homage?
5967to what shall ignorance cry but wisdom?
5967was it all a terrible dream, that she might know what it was to be lost, and think of God?
5967what feeling of the grandeur of him we call God, of his illimitation in goodness?
5967where did you get that candle?''
5967with what shall the childish take refuge but the childlike?
5967you do n''t know Hamlet?
6591Am I supposed to feel worse because I also hurt your feelings? 6591 And give Earl Arthur the weapon he needs to call an Inquest?
6591And how do you feel towards her now?
6591And if you know what is good for you---"Are you threatening me? 6591 And the horse?"
6591And what about them bitches?
6591And what if I told you I had n''t got the key?
6591And what if he comes back today? 6591 And what if one of those men knows of the rift between you, or Ballard is there himself?"
6591And what of your mother? 6591 And when shall I have the pleasure of speaking to your son?"
6591And where is she now?
6591And why is that?
6591Are n''t you going to ask me why I I do n''t believe? 6591 Are you very sure, lass?
6591As a friend?
6591Attacked you? 6591 Because of your mother?
6591Because you desired life instead of death? 6591 Before the war?"
6591But how are you going to explain throttling them bitches?
6591But how did you know about the hiding place? 6591 But to kill two women without pretext?
6591But why?
6591By the god, girl, have n''t you been listening? 6591 Ca n''t you see, Purceville?
6591Can a man walk away from his past? 6591 Can we go inside and talk?"
6591Can you tell me, Michael, what these things portend? 6591 Could you see the smoke, then?
6591Did you bring the flask as I told you?
6591Did you see, when she thought I meant to kill her, the way she hung her head, and reached down into some secret place she believes I can not touch? 6591 Do I still love who?"
6591Do you hate us all, then?
6591Do you know what he said to me, as he lay dying in my arms? 6591 Do you think I''m glad at what''s happened?
6591Faith in what? 6591 Good..... Will you hold her while I fetch the rope?"
6591Have you been around horses all your life?
6591He did n''t actually rape you?
6591How could he?
6591How did you know about that?
6591How do we slip past them?
6591How do you know this?
6591How long''s he think he can keep things dark, now it''s come to this? 6591 How on earth did you know that?"
6591How will you do it?
6591How would you retrieve my horse?
6591How?
6591How?
6591In the name of God, Stephen, is there any part of you that is n''t utterly cruel? 6591 Is everything all right?"
6591Is that why you struck me? 6591 Magnanimous?"
6591Mary? 6591 Mary?
6591Mother, may I take some apples?
6591Mother, what are you saying? 6591 Not much to look at, am I?"
6591Now do you have anything to say to me, to save the girl''s life, as well as your own?
6591On what charge?
6591Perhaps the Earl might care to take a short rest?
6591Perhaps you should reconsider, Earl? 6591 Right now I imagine you''re hungry, and might do with a mug of stout?"
6591So what''s to keep me from walking out, except the threat of a shot in the back?
6591So, you never knew she was a witch? 6591 Stephen.....""You fear Earl Arthur?
6591Stephen? 6591 Thank you, love..... You''re so very sweet..... Too bad you''re in love with that other one, eh?"
6591That you have been sleeping with a traitor? 6591 The villagers will be on the watch for me, then?"
6591Then how?
6591To Michael?
6591To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
6591Truly, Anne? 6591 Us?"
6591What are you going to do with me?
6591What are you going to do?
6591What are you waiting for?
6591What d''ya think?
6591What did you do with him?
6591What do you mean, Stephen?
6591What does it matter, girl? 6591 What does this tell you?"
6591What happened here?
6591What have you to say of that, little whore of my flesh? 6591 What is it child?"
6591What is it hurting you so?
6591What is it, Mary?
6591What is it, Mary?
6591What is it, Michael?
6591What is it?
6591What is it?
6591What is it?
6591What is your plan?
6591What makes you so sure?
6591What other quarters?
6591What''s all this?
6591Where are we going?
6591Where are you? 6591 Where have you been?"
6591Where is my sister?
6591Where is she?
6591Where is she?
6591While you hold the gun, and I dig the grave?
6591Who are you?
6591Who are you?
6591Who are you?
6591Who, if not yourself, lies in the grave beneath your stone?
6591Who?
6591Why did n''t you wait for me? 6591 Why do you ask me to swear as an Englishman?
6591Why in Hell do you think I''m here?
6591Why is that so important to you?
6591Why not? 6591 Why the charade of my being Anne''s child?
6591Why? 6591 Why?"
6591Why?
6591Will tomorrow noon be acceptable? 6591 Will you do something for me?"
6591Will you do something for me?
6591Will you make me one promise before you go? 6591 Will you promise to rest, and be gentle with yourself, until I can send a doctor back to check on you?"
6591Will you return to me in an hour''s time? 6591 Will you tell me one thing first?"
6591Without expecting anything in return? 6591 Wo n''t you tell me how it was for you, all these years, and what you''re feeling now?"
6591Would you like me to help you?
6591Would you take me riding today?
6591You bloody savages think you''re the only ones to stand up for something? 6591 You have reached young womanhood and still not seen through that, the cruelest and emptiest of farces?
6591You know, then?
6591You may be right for now, Ballard, but how long do you think he can keep it up? 6591 You remember then,"he added gently,"that this is your seventeenth birthday as well?
6591You understand that I can not go far? 6591 You understand that?"
6591You''re coming?
6591You''re not a Christian, then?
6591You''re not going to bury him here?
6591You''re not shamed for me, are you, Michael? 6591 You''re not still afraid?"
6591***"What is it, Anne?
6591..."Where would you suggest I go?"
6591.and your daughter?"
6591.even, lovers?"
6591.to what end?
6591.was it real or imagined?
6591Am I supposed to equate that with the death of two men, one of them my cousin?
6591And I do n''t suppose it would hurt to brand him for a prisoner as well?"
6591And for what?
6591And if she felt inclined to add,"Thank you, Stephen, I feel wonderful,"where was the harm?
6591And might the English not have spies?"
6591And now the callous determination..... Toward what end?
6591And to think of it, why had Talbert been shot in the back?
6591And what if he failed?
6591And what of the way he had been killed--- by a single, clean blade- thrust to the heart?
6591And what string had Stephen pulled, perhaps inadvertently, to bring them here?
6591And where the hell was Ballard?
6591Are we coming nearer the mark, Mrs. Scott?
6591Are you afraid?
6591Are you all right?
6591As you love your sister, and on your word as an Englishman, will you help me to free her?
6591Because the question that truly galled him was not Why, but Why now?
6591Because you saw the futility of resistance, and chose not to follow him into the grave?
6591Between pauses:"What was this prisoner''s name, you ask?
6591But I''ll warrant the wind''s been against us some years now, eh?"
6591But are n''t there some as might be tempted by the money?
6591But how could he remain calm, and rest, when those he loved remained in unspeakable danger?
6591But might I inquire, as an innocent man, what it is I am being charged with?"
6591But perhaps Earl Arthur would feel more secure with a somewhat larger retinue?"
6591But was that enough?
6591But what door was she to open?
6591But what of that?
6591But who could say what an English Lord--- his noble birth a sham, at that--- might do when confronted by the threat of an illegitimate child?
6591But who was the meanest dog now, and which side would prevail?
6591Can the cold stones of the grave lose their shadow, and rotted flesh grow whole again to walk with the living?
6591Can you tell us then, in as much detail as possible, what has happened in the time since you left the cottage?"
6591Could n''t you just embrace me, as you would a friend, and say good- night?"
6591Could that be your son?
6591Destroy yourself for a moment''s passion?"
6591Did he know about the letter, the one you thought I wrote?"
6591Did they play Scotland the Brave?"
6591Did you want to lose your own soul as well?"
6591Do n''t I deserve that much?"
6591Do n''t you know yet what kind of man he is?"
6591Do n''t you see that every time your King rolls angrily in his bed, a thousand lives are swept away?
6591Do you believe in the powers that my mother worshipped and feared?"
6591Do you have any idea what her life has been like, without you?
6591Do you think I ca n''t share him, this one night, with the woman he loves, and the girl I raised up from a child?
6591Do you think I do n''t know that?"
6591Do you think others saw it as well?"
6591Do you understand?"
6591Do you wonder that it came to war?
6591For the sake of an old man''s curiosity, if nothing else, wo n''t you tell me something of yourself?
6591Had he been taken prisoner, and escaped along with James Talbert, or merely been killed in the war?
6591Has he been here of late, to visit you?
6591Have n''t you ever just let life come to you?"
6591Have you never loved someone you should have hated?
6591How could they fail to see that everything, everything ended in death and ruin?
6591How could you have known?"
6591How had it come to this?
6591How many men had he killed in battle, or destroyed in the political arena, to attain what he had once called power?
6591How many women had he sucked dry and then discarded?
6591I''ve had enough of it, do you hear?
6591If we''ll not bow to her, then what have we to fear from three young hoodlums, flashing their sabers as if to wake the dead?"
6591In God?
6591In the eyes of God, and on peril of your life, do you so swear?"
6591In the eyes of God---""God?"
6591Is he in hiding along with Mary?
6591Is it he you are trying to protect?
6591Is it hopeless?
6591Is that true?"
6591Is that why you threaten three lonely, bereft women, who have already lost to you all that they loved and held dear?"
6591Might her actions not only do them both further injury?
6591Or held on to something you were told you must surrender?
6591Perhaps she raised her from a child?
6591So when they saw the girl it was not a question of what they wanted from her, but only, would there be anyone to witness the act?
6591That you are a whore, like all the others?
6591That you prefer his filthy Scottish bed to mine?
6591The moral?
6591Their eyes met, and there was such astonished pain in her gaze....."Do you still love him?"
6591There was no justice..... God?
6591There''s no reason---""What in Hell do you mean, free?"
6591They grew up together, did they not?
6591Tonight you''ll open your heart?"
6591Wake me in a bit, wo n''t you?"
6591Was it again the wind''s mockery of bagpipes, the faintest strain playing upon her mind alone?
6591Was it possible: that soul- stirring sound, so terrible in battle that the English had since outlawed it?
6591Was it there, or was she truly mad?
6591Was it to pay hard tribute in grain and goods which could not be spared, to an Empire already bloated and corrupt?
6591Was it to see the Lord Purceville establish his thieving court at the ancestral home of the MacPhersons?
6591Was she doing the right thing?
6591Well?
6591Were they very close, your strong, golden- haired son and fair, emerald- eyed niece?
6591What are you about?
6591What are you doing?"
6591What are you thinking of?"
6591What can it be?"
6591What could have happened to transform the lithe, innocent creature of so few days before?
6591What did it mean?
6591What did it mean?
6591What did it mean?
6591What have I said to upset you?"
6591What if Purceville had spoken the truth, and the charges against him proved groundless?
6591What is it, girl, what''s wrong?"
6591What makes you think any promise will bind me?"
6591What meaning would you have?"
6591What nest- thieving fox could claim as much?
6591What vengeance?
6591What was his guilt, or innocence, and what would he feel towards her?
6591What will you do if Stephen Purceville comes to call on you today?"
6591What''s that in your hand?"
6591What''s wrong?"
6591When ignorance leads the blind, how black shall the blindness be?"
6591Where are you?
6591Where are you?
6591Where are you?
6591Where are you?"
6591Where did her responsibility lie now?
6591Where was Margaret MacCain, and why had she left the hut deserted?
6591Where was this fiery- eyed youth now, who must surely have been of fighting age and temperament at the time of the revolt?
6591Where''s the sin?"
6591Wherein lay the mystery of this woman?
6591Who had been his` loyal right hand''these many years, doing the dirty work, and taking all the risks?
6591Who was my father?"
6591Who, and where, was the man who had given it to her?
6591Whoever said that I did?"
6591Whose image did she turn to in her moment of need?
6591Why ca n''t it?"
6591Why could n''t you and I have had each other, at least?"
6591Why did the girl wear a wedding ring, while the woman did not?
6591Why does n''t anyone understand?"
6591Why had she come in such haste, without horse or cloak?
6591Why should my answer to you be any different than the one I made your father?"
6591Why that particular number?
6591Why would n''t mounted patrols simply shoot him, if it came to it, rather than dismount, and engage in hand- to- hand fighting?
6591Why, after facing death to protect her, had the woman suddenly put her niece, his daughter, into the palm of his hand?
6591Why, in God''s name, were you so Hell- bound to capture us?"
6591Why?
6591Why?
6591Will you give me your word?"
6591Will you have me as your husband?"
6591Will you promise me you''ll sleep, and trust me till the sunrise?"
6591Will you swear to me now, on your life, that no matter what happens to me, you will get Mary out and away from here?
6591Wo n''t you help me, in what we both know is right?"
6591Wo n''t you tell me something of yourself?
6591Would it be all right?"
6591Would that make sense, based on your knowledge of the Tower?"
6591Would you like me to show you the key to the mystery, the weak link which shatters the entire chain of seeming?"
6591Would you like to hear them?"
6591Would you like to know what we did to her?
6591You ca n''t expect to win them from the Tower by stealth?
6591You look quiet pale; would you like to sit down?"
6591You recognize the son of your esteemed overlord, and perhaps were expecting him as well?"
6591You''re not going to bind me, and leave me here without a weapon?"
30554''A near thing that, eh, Hamish?''
30554''Ah, did you tell him?''
30554''All in the day''s work, eh?''
30554''All right, Marjorie?''
30554''All right, Mother,''replied Allan;''when are we to be there?''
30554''All right, Mother,''said Reggie;''but wo n''t you come a bit of the way with us?''
30554''All right,''said Allan;''but when are Reggie and Tricksy going to turn up?
30554''All right,''said Marjorie impatiently;''we are not coming in any further; but will you please get tea ready for us as soon as you can?''
30554''Allan,''he said,''do n''t you think we ought to be going?''
30554''Allan,''said Marjorie, touching his arm,''there''s Andrew MacPeters, do you see him?
30554''And what are you going to be, air?''
30554''And why not, Miss Tricksy, if I might inquire?''
30554''And would you rather go with them?''
30554''Any news?''
30554''Are there-- are there any smugglers there now?''
30554''Are they nice boys?''
30554''Are we going to fish all afternoon,''said Marjorie,''or shall we take a scramble?''
30554''Are you a good climber, Harry?''
30554''Are you going to apologise for having hit a lady?''
30554''Are you going to let them know about it?''
30554''Are you not for coming, Neil?''
30554''Are you ready, Neil?''
30554''Are you tired after the steamer?''
30554''Are you too tired to do anything this afternoon?''
30554''Awfully jolly,''replied Marjorie;''but we''ll come again soon.--You''ll come too, wo n''t you, Neil?''
30554''Big or little?''
30554''Bit of a tomboy, is n''t she?''
30554''But I think we all need a rest now, do n''t we?''
30554''But Mrs. Macdonnell, Mummie,''said Tricksy, with a quivering lip,''do you-- do you think she''ll die?''
30554''But how can I fight Harry?''
30554''But what could make them think that Neil would break into the post- office and steal a letter?
30554''But what did he go at me for?''
30554''But what if it was they who robbed the post- office?''
30554''But who would have done such a thing?''
30554''But wo n''t Mrs. Stewart be frightened?''
30554''But, Allan,''said Tricksy in a trembling voice,''would n''t it be better to tell Father about it and ask him to let us have the boat for Neil?
30554''But, Tricksy, where are Harry and Gerald?''
30554''Ca n''t you make them stop, Allan?''
30554''Can I go too?''
30554''Can we give him any message from you?''
30554''Can we go in?''
30554''Carrying_ what_?''
30554''Dear, dear, Mr. Allan and Master Reggie,''said Duncan with a vexed face;''what will you haf peen doing that for?
30554''Did you, Miss Marjorie?
30554''Do n''t you think Mother is very quiet?''
30554''Do n''t you want to go?''
30554''Do you know a lad called Andrew MacPeters?
30554''Do you like sieges?''
30554''Do you see that headland, stretching far out into the sea?
30554''Do you see that island over there?''
30554''Do you see the little island over there?''
30554''Do you think it was because of that that they did n''t come in at first?''
30554''Do you think she would care to be disturbed to- day?''
30554''Do you think they may have had anything to do with the robbery?''
30554''Do you think they''d care about our Pirates''Island, and all that?''
30554''Do you think they''ll speak to us if they meet us?''
30554''Do you think we need to go too?''
30554''Do you think we ought to bring the police back at this time?''
30554''Do?
30554''Does Mother know?
30554''Does any one know where he has gone?''
30554''Does she always do what you fellows do?''
30554''Does she ever quarrel with you?''
30554''Elspeth, are you ill?''
30554''Elspeth, when is tea going to be ready?''
30554''Ever heard the fable of the Hare and the Tortoise?''
30554''Feeling better, Tricksy?''
30554''Find it tiring, walking on the heather?''
30554''Gerald, you''re game to do something after lunch, are n''t you?''
30554''Going?''
30554''Had you a good journey, Allan?
30554''Hark,''said Reggie suddenly,''what''s that?''
30554''Has she a bit of a temper?''
30554''Have you been so uncomfortable?''
30554''Have you given the place a name yet?''
30554''He''s looking at that man over there,''said Marjorie;''who is it?
30554''Here we are, Duncan, what do you want us for?''
30554''How are we going to manage it?''
30554''How are we to get out, Neil?
30554''How could they have managed it and what would make them think of Neil?''
30554''How did poor old Neil take it, when he was arrested and all that?''
30554''How do you do, Allan?
30554''How do you do, Marjorie?''
30554''How do you do, Reggie?''
30554''How do you do, young ladies and gentlemen?''
30554''How do you like our way of playing?''
30554''How is old Neil?''
30554''How is your mother, Neil?''
30554''How many have you got?''
30554''How many of us are asked, Mummie?''
30554''How will you like to meet your friend the Sheriff again, Tricksy?''
30554''How would you do it, Tricksy?''
30554''Hullo, Miss Tricksy, how do you do?''
30554''Hullo, you two,''said Allan, coming up;''how are you getting on?''
30554''Hullo,''called out Reggie as they came within hearing,''is he gone?''
30554''I caught as many as Allan, did n''t I?''
30554''I fought very well too, did n''t I, Marjorie?''
30554''I heard that he was cutting peats on the hillside,''said Allan;''is n''t that a cart over there, and two men stacking peats?''
30554''I may tell them, may n''t I?''
30554''I say, Marjorie,''began Harry,''we''ve had fine sport, have n''t we?''
30554''I say, what''s the row?''
30554''I suppose you are quite accustomed to sailing as you live in an island, Miss MacGregor?''
30554''I suppose you get a lot of them that way?''
30554''I wonder whether she''s sorry about something?''
30554''If you fellows want to see her,''said Allan,''why do n''t you go to the top of the hill?
30554''Is Hamish here?''
30554''Is it because of the girdle?''
30554''Is it because we are taking the things out of the larder?''
30554''Is n''t Father a dear?''
30554''Is n''t it awfully jolly having dinner out- of- doors?''
30554''Is n''t it dreadful to think that it may have been some one whom we know; some one we have spoken to quite lately?''
30554''Is n''t it too bad?''
30554''Is she?''
30554''Is there any news?''
30554''Is there anything there worth carrying away?''
30554''Is this where the smugglers used to come?''
30554''It is n''t so very bad, is it, Tricksy?''
30554''It would n''t be at all nice to fall overboard here, would it?''
30554''It''s a postal order,''he said, giving it to the doctor;''what''s the meaning of this?''
30554''It''s rather stormy,''said Harry;''do you think we''ll get back?''
30554''It''s the lad who is n''t quite right in his mind, is n''t it?''
30554''Look how he bites his tail,''cried Mrs. Stewart,''why do you do that, Carlo?''
30554''Marjorie,''said Tricksy, as the two girls remained looking down from above;''do you think we should have better fun if we were boys?''
30554''Me?''
30554''Me?''
30554''Mummie, do n''t you think that Marjorie and I could go too?''
30554''Neil?''
30554''Nonsense, man,''returned Mr. Stewart;''call this a heavy sea?
30554''Nothing else found in the ruins?''
30554''Nothing more found out about the robbery yet, I suppose?''
30554''Now, Duncan,''said Allan, after the dog- cart had started;''tell us what has happened?''
30554''Oh, I hope so,''cried the girls,''and then they''ll get their finger on the real culprit?''
30554''Outside, of course; what''s the good of being in a house when it is n''t raining?
30554''Pooh,''said Marjorie, with her arms in the hot water;''what''s the good?
30554''Proud to hear you say so, Mr. Allan;''broke out the Highlander;''and hev you ahl made a compact, the young ladies too?''
30554''Reggie,''began Allan, rather absently,''have you been thinking that you''re going to school next term?''
30554''Seen the_ Heroic_?''
30554''Shall we accept now, Reggie?''
30554''Shall we all go down?''
30554''Shall we see him before he goes?''
30554''Tea, Miss Marjorie?
30554''Tear, tear,''they heard Duncan''s voice saying in irritable tones outside the door;''what will hev become of ahl ta young ladies and gentlemen?
30554''That man who helped you with the boat,''said Mr. Stewart;''he stayed behind after you left; who was he?''
30554''That''s all right,''said the youngest member of the Society;''now, when are we going to begin?''
30554''That''s all very well, Tricksy,''replied Marjorie,''but what shall we do if you get ill?
30554''The fellow will find himself in the wrong box then, wo n''t he, Neil?''
30554''The first question is, have you showed the order to Pater or Mother already, Hamish?''
30554''Then do you think some one has been trying to make him appear so?''
30554''Then how iss it that you will be finding so much pleasure in having a secret just now?''
30554''Then whatever is the matter?''
30554''Then why do n''t we make sure?''
30554''Then,''said Allan,''how do you account for the wrong order being in the letter?''
30554''There,''said Reggie triumphantly,''did you see what a bad conscience he has?''
30554''They are n''t going away altogether, are they?''
30554''They ca n''t have been exploring already?''
30554''They''re at their old trade again,''said Allan, examining the barrels;''I wonder what Pater will say to this?''
30554''They''re signalling from the coastguard station, do you see?''
30554''Tricksy, what''s the matter with you?''
30554''Was it by accident that you met?''
30554''We''ve had a jolly fine take, have n''t we?''
30554''Well, Miss Marjorie,''said Neil,''do you not think we had better be getting the table cleared and the things put away?
30554''Well, Tricksy, and how?''
30554''Well, Tricksy, getting tired yet?''
30554''Well, Tricksy,''said the boy;''tired of waiting, eh?''
30554''Well, are n''t you going to shake hands, Tricksy?''
30554''Well, what''s the matter?''
30554''Well,''said Allan;''whatever are they up to now?''
30554''Well,''said Marjorie at last, digging holes in the sand with a sharp- pointed shell;''what are we to do now?''
30554''Well,''said Marjorie,''anything new?''
30554''Well?''
30554''Well?''
30554''Well?''
30554''What a pity,''said Tricksy regretfully;''we''ve had such a jolly day of it, have n''t we, Marjorie?''
30554''What about next year, Tricksy?''
30554''What appearances, Elspeth?
30554''What are the dogs about?''
30554''What are you doing here, Miss Marjorie, at this time of night?
30554''What are you going to do?''
30554''What do you say to letting them both join the Compact?''
30554''What do you say, Neil?''
30554''What do you think he can have gone out for?''
30554''What do you think of them, Tricksy?''
30554''What do you think we can do?''
30554''What do you think, Allan?''
30554''What if it should be the smugglers?''
30554''What is it, Allan?''
30554''What is it?''
30554''What is it?''
30554''What shall we do?''
30554''What weapons are to be used?''
30554''What will be done to him?''
30554''What would be the good of interfering?''
30554''What would you have us do, Tricksy?''
30554''What''s that; a Compact?''
30554''What''s that?''
30554''What''s the matter with Allan?''
30554''What''s the matter with him?
30554''What''s the matter with the poor little dog?''
30554''What''s the matter with you, Laddie?''
30554''What''s the matter, Marjorie?''
30554''What''s the matter?''
30554''What''s the matter?''
30554''What''s the matter?''
30554''What''s the row?''
30554''What''s this?
30554''What''s this?''
30554''Whatever are you doing that for?''
30554''Whatever does she mean?''
30554''Whatever is he about?''
30554''Whatever is the little brute going on about?''
30554''Whatever is the matter?''
30554''When are they coming back again?''
30554''When does your mother expect us?''
30554''Where can he have got them from?''
30554''Where is he?''
30554''Where shall we set it?''
30554''Where''s Gerald?''
30554''Where''s father?''
30554''Where''s that?''
30554''Where''s your master, Jock; where''s Neil?''
30554''Where?''
30554''Which one is the gipsy?''
30554''Who are they?''
30554''Who can it have been?''
30554''Who do you think has done it, Allan?''
30554''Who is that?''
30554''Who is that?''
30554''Who told you I had seen Neil?''
30554''Why are you waiting?''
30554''Why ever did you bring_ that_ thing with you?''
30554''Why not?''
30554''Why not?''
30554''Why, Tricksy,''began Marjorie,''why did n''t you go with the others?''
30554''Why,''said Harry;''could n''t you lower a boat?''
30554''Will you ever come back again?''
30554''Wo n''t you all look in and see Mother before you go home?''
30554''Would you ask the young ladies and gentle men to wipe their feet on the rug, Miss Marjorie if you please?
30554''Yes, let''s get something done,''said Reggie;''where do you think we shall find him?''
30554''You are leaving Inchkerra?''
30554''You are not cold, are you?''
30554''You ca n''t tell me?
30554''You hev?''
30554''You say that you are quite sure he could n''t have taken the letters?''
30554''You''d dig holes for them, would you, Tricksy, said Allan;''how could you tell whether you had caught the right one?''
30554Allan did not answer, and Reggie said,''How can he tell, Tricksy?''
30554And how am I to do that, Miss Marjorie, if you please, when the girdle hass been taken away out of the kitchen?
30554And now, Neil, you will go away for a little while, will you not?
30554Are many of the boys ill?
30554Are n''t they prettily marked?''
30554Are you fond of the sea, sir?''
30554At last Harry began,''I say, Gerald, do you think they saw?''
30554But there is the boat going away, and listen, is n''t that the horn?''
30554But wo n''t it be a little too civilised, bringing all these things with you?''
30554Can you light fires on the hearth?''
30554Did you indeed?
30554Did you never hear me speak of them?''
30554Do you like school as much as ever?
30554Do you think they can be going to invite us to come on board?''
30554Do you think they meant to invite us?''
30554Do you think we can go?''
30554Had n''t we better call the others and let them know?''
30554Had no one ever connected the crazy lad with the robbery?
30554Has anything happened?''
30554Have you any plates?
30554Hide Neil; let''s pile all the heather on the top of him----''''What''s the matter?''
30554How are the measles?
30554How did it come there?
30554Hulloa, Hamish, old chap,''he added good- humouredly, as a somewhat sleepy- looking, fair- haired boy joined the group--''reached the top?''
30554Hulloa, Reggie!--Tricksy, why do n''t you keep your dog in better order?''
30554I bet you did n''t have anything before you left?''
30554I think the tide is at the foot of the cliffs now?''
30554If you must go, young ladies and gentlemen, will you not look in at Mrs. Macdonnell''s cottage and tell her that you have resolved to help Neil?
30554Is n''t it jolly about the measles, Neil?''
30554Is n''t it jolly?''
30554MacAlister?''
30554MacGregor, do you see the figure of a man at the mouth of the one which we are now opposite?
30554Macdonnell?''
30554Macdonnell?''
30554May we bring our friends too, Harry and Gerald Graham?''
30554Miss Marjorie, you promise?''
30554Nobody seemed to have anything to say, and Tricksy burst out again--''You say you know who was the real thief?''
30554Pray, what has been the subject of dispute?''
30554Reggie slid down from the garden wall, looked towards the road, and said,''Where?''
30554Tear me; and what iss to pe done now?''
30554Tell us about it?''
30554Tired, Tricksy?''
30554We got up ever so early-- I do n''t know when; and what do you think?
30554What can it be?''
30554What do you say to coming and looking at the gipsy encampment in the Corrie Wood?
30554What do you say, Hamish?''
30554What do you say, Tricksy?''
30554What do you think of our kitchen?''
30554What if any one were to come in the meanwhile?''
30554What shall we do next?''
30554What shall we do?''
30554What''s all this that you''ve got with you?''
30554What''s the matter with Laddie now?''
30554Who was to be entrusted with the message?
30554Why did you go off together yesterday, and stay away for such a time, leaving us to entertain your guests?
30554Why did you not endeavour to dissuade them, Miss Marjorie?''
30554Why should n''t they fight if it amuses them?
30554Will you be finding places, young gentlemen?''
30554Would there be time for us to go down to the beach for a little while?''
30554You know that new churn he got for his mother?
30554You mean you do n''t know?''
30554You might come this way, Reggie, will you?''
30554You say that there was more than one order in the laird''s letter?''
30554You''re hungry, are n''t you, Tricksy?''
30554and Allan too?
30554and Father?''
30554are you there already?''
30554asked Hamish, who came strolling down to the scene;''so these two have come to loggerheads, have they?''
30554began Harry;''I say, if the men get their leave to- day do you think they will let us come with them?''
30554cried Duncan;''what will they pe doing that for?
30554echoed Tricksy,''do you think I could run up the hill as they did?
30554said Allan, as he hurried past Gerald, who was somewhat ruefully wiping the dirt off his cheek with one hand;''Awful fun, is n''t it?''
30554said Hamish, speaking quietly, but trembling between the fear of asking too much or too little;''and when did you see Mrs. MacAlister last?''
30554said Marjorie to Harry, who was looking about him with sparkling eyes;''that high one beyond all the little skerries?
30554said Marjorie;''the one whom you helped when his boat was upset on the loch?''
30554said Tricksy, looking at the waves, which were tumbling over each other and whitening with foam;''what are we to do while it rains?''
30554she exclaimed;''whatever are you crying for?''
30554she said, pointing southwards;''a little black dot on the water, with some bright green in the middle of it?
30554they cried;''where are the others?''
30554what''s this?''
2370Allow me to ask, are you a minister of the gospel, and stir up a child against her own father?
2370An''hoo wan ye here?
2370An''what for no an angel?
2370An''what''s my chop but my hoose? 2370 An''whaur''s yer dummie?"
2370An''yersel''?
2370An''yet,argued Robert,"ye''ll tak thoucht aboot an auld umbrell?
2370And what is that, Donal?
2370And what right has any such fellow to bid my daughter good- bye? 2370 Are they not in fact wasting the rocks away by slow degrees?"
2370Are you sure there are no holes-- full of water, down there?
2370As Mistress Bonniman''s, for enstance?
2370Ay,answered Janet, sending for the serpent to aid the dove;"an''what may be yer wull wi''him?"
2370Boy,said the laird, rolling his eyes, more unsteady than usual with indignation, in the direction of Gibbie,"what have you to say for yourself?"
2370But do n''t you see them?
2370But michtna the Maister himsel''forgie her?
2370But might not some be frightened by it, and brought to repentance, Donal?
2370But what can he dee? 2370 But what had ye to say till him?"
2370But what is good time?
2370But where''s Mistress Mac Farlane?
2370But why did you make your appointment here?
2370But would n''t you like to have a wife, Donal, and children, like your father and mother?
2370Can ye hear?
2370Can ye read, cratur?
2370Canna ye come ower, Donal?
2370Canna ye speyk, man?
2370Did ye that, man? 2370 Div ye believe this, Robert''--at we''re a''ane, jist ane, in Christ Jesus?"
2370Div ye hear yon burn efter ye gang to yer bed, mem?
2370Div ye railly think it, mem?
2370Div ye railly think''at there is sic craturs as broonies, Mistress Jean?
2370Div ye think the burn''s ony happier i''the summer, mem?
2370Div ye want me to say, mem?
2370Do you desire me to tell you, papa, why I thought it might be painful to you to make that young man''s acquaintance?
2370Do you think it''s Latin, Nicie?
2370Fergus,returned the laird,"do you imagine things inanimate can of themselves change their relations in space?
2370Forby( besides), sir,he went on,"gien tongues didna wag, what w''y wad you,''at has to set a''thing richt, come to ken what was wrang?"
2370Gibbie,resumed Sir George, after a brief pause,"div ye ken what fowk''ll ca''ye whan I''m deid?"
2370Gien the j''ists be strang, an''weel set intil the wa''s, what for sudna ye tak the horse up the stair intil yer bedrooms? 2370 Ginevra, you do n''t mean you would?"
2370Has the ill- guideship ta''en the tongue frae''i m, think ye?

2370Hoo''s that, mem?
2370How am I to do that, Donal? 2370 How can I tell you what you should call a creature that has no existence?"
2370How do you do, Sir Gilbert?
2370How old are you to- day?
2370I am sorry I have hurt you,said the minister, not a little relieved at the sound;"but how dared you write such a-- such an insolence?
2370I ask you, Joseph,answered the laird,"what this-- this outbreak of superstition imports?
2370I ca n''t go with you,said Mrs. Sclater,"for I expect my husband every moment; but what occasion is there, with two such knights to protect you?"
2370I cud gie ye sicht o''''i m, I daursay, but what better wad ye be for that? 2370 I dinna doobt ye wad sweir; but what neist?"
2370I have been waiting for it, and now it is time, and why should I wait still?
2370I should be sorry to have hurt you.--Going to college, I presume, Sir Gilbert?
2370If they do n''t know what they are about, how can you be so foolish as talk of their design?
2370Ir ye gauin''to hang me, ye she- deevil?
2370Is anything the matter, papa?
2370Is he a good boy, Mistress Grant?
2370Is it possible your duplicity reaches so far?
2370Is n''t it now? 2370 Is she a sinner?"
2370Is there no means of getting at him, my good woman?
2370Is this a day to be thinkin''o''warl''''s gear?
2370Is''t lang sin''ye lost him?
2370Isna that jist what ye micht be singin''yersel'', efter what ye was sayin''last nicht? 2370 It''s the muckle quarry, mem,"answered Donal:"div ye no ken that?

2370That''s what they ca''ye, is''t?
2370The meanin''o''what, sir?
2370Then,returned Ginny, quite satisfied,"would you mind telling me what book you were reading?"
2370There''s nane ta''en, nor like to be,answered the woman.--"Ken ye a place they ca''Mains o''Glashruach?"
2370Think what?

2370What foolish person has been insinuating such contemptible superstition into your silly head?
2370What for no, Robert?
2370What for sud ye, in that case, gang on preachin'', sae settin''them an ill exemple?
2370What for that, lassie?
2370What garred the Maister say onything aboot it than?
2370What have they done to ye, my bairn?

2370What have you got to do with it?
2370What ill''ill that dee me, mem?
2370What is it, Donal?

2370What wad ye hae me perswaud him till, sir? 2370 What was aboot him ye wad ken sae weel?"
2370What was it all about?

2370What''s Euclid, Nicie?
2370What''s come o''the laddie?

2370Whaur div ye think o''gauin''?
2370Why did n''t he speak up then, and defend himself, and not be so damned obstinate?
2370Why do n''t you speak, you fool?
2370Why do you ask me?
2370Why should I make both him and you uncomfortable, papa-- when there was not going to be anything more of it?
2370Why should n''t we go now, Nicie? 2370 Why then do you go hankering after him still, and refusing Mr. Duff?
2370Why!--What!--Are you aware of what you are saying, sir?
2370Will you go with me to Mr. Torrie to- day?
2370Will you never have done masquerading, Jenny?
2370Wo n''t I, Gibbie? 2370 Ye ken him than, laddie?"
2370Ye ken, of coorse,he happened to say,"''at Gibbie''s wi''Maister Sclater?"
2370Ye wadna be my lady yersel'', wad ye, mem?
2370Ye''re luikin''efter Angus?
2370Ye''re no angry at me for ca''in ye by yer name? 2370 Ye''re no cauld, are ye, mem?"
2370Ye''re no gauin to kill me, Rob Grant?
2370You do not mean,he spelled very hurriedly,"that you would marry me?--Me?
2370( lark) THE MAN SAYS: Laverock i''the lift,( sky) Hae ye nae sang- thrift,''At ye scatter''t sae heigh, an''lat it a''drift?
2370--"Whaur got ye''i m?"
2370--who could tell?
2370A business call?
2370A fearful remembrance of the blow he had given him on the head rushed back on Mr. Sclater: could it be the consequence of that?
2370A loving hand laid on his feet or legs would have found them like ice; but where was the matter so long as he never thought of them?
2370A morning call?
2370A pastoral visitation?
2370After thus hunting her as a cat might a mouse, or a lion a man, what could she look for but that he would pounce upon her, and tear her to pieces?
2370Am I to have no pity because I am neither hungry nor cold?"
2370Among women, was it not always to peasant women that heavenly messages came?
2370And did the fellow challenge him to a discussion?
2370And what great occasion was there?
2370And what had they whipped the creature for?
2370And what is this person doing here?"
2370Ay!--An''syne ye set tee, an''did the wark yersel to save yer auntie Jean''s auld banes?"
2370But aye& c. Sing ye yoong sorrow to beguile Or to gie auld fear the flegs?
2370But he never made the smallest acknowledgment to Gibbie for the saving of the said Snowball: what could an idiot understand about gratitude?
2370But how to get in?
2370But if it lay before us, and we could watch its current approaching from a long distance, what could we do with it before it had reached the now?
2370But may be my jography buik''s some auld- fashioned.--Didna ye un''erstan''me, mem?"
2370But now, when or where was she ever to see them more?
2370But syne what wad hae come o''the gran''delicht o''seein''auld age rin hirplin awa''frae the face o''the Auncient o''Days?"
2370But the excess of his joy had not yet turned to light, was not yet passing from him in physical flame: whence then the glow that illumined the court?
2370But was the beast- boy ubiquitous?
2370But wha''ll tak the trible needfu''to the learnin''o''a puir dummie?"
2370But whan ye''re lyin''hearkenin''to the burn, did ye never imagine yersel''rinnin''doon wi''''t-- doon to the sea?"
2370But what could he mean, she said, by wasting the good corn to put devilry into the horses?
2370But what was he to do?
2370But where ever could he have been brought up?
2370But would they hurt the little girl?
2370Can they take to themselves wings and fly?
2370Could it be allusion to the way he spent his time when out with the cattle that Mistress Jean intended?
2370Could it be that she was dreaming?
2370Could it really be the beast- boy?
2370Could she be, and look so lost?
2370Did God like to look at the storm he made?
2370Did he not sleep in the same chamber with them?
2370Did he think of his own?
2370Did her old eyes deceive her?
2370Did she not forsake him too when she forsook his Donal?
2370Did the laird know that the enemy was within his gates?
2370Did you?"
2370Dinna ye ken''At ye hing ower men Wha haena a sang or a penny to spen''?
2370Do you know the writing?"
2370Does the questioning thought arise to any reader: How could a man be conscious of bliss without the thought of himself?
2370Donal remaining silent, Ginevra presently returned him his own question:"How did you like the sermon, Donal?"
2370Donal rose, replying,"Think ye sae, sir?
2370Even the brightening of the harness- brass, in which Gibbie sometimes indulged, was an offence; for did it not imply a reproach?
2370For I ken he''s luikin''an''waitin'', Luikin''aye doon as I clim'': Wad I hae him see me sit greitin'', I''stead o''gaein''to him?
2370For had not Gibbie himself had a father, to whose bosom he went home every night?
2370Gibbie shut the door, placed a chair for Mistress Croale by the fire, seated himself, took out his tablets, wrote"Will you be my housekeeper?
2370Gien he be the life o''me, what for sud I trible mysel''aboot that life?"
2370Gien ye be droont oot o''the hills, what''s to come o''hiz i''the how?
2370Guid day to ye, Janet.--What neist, I won''er?"
2370Had he a glimmer of the return of the buried mother?
2370Had he mistaken his bearings?
2370Had it, some time before this, become at length easier for a rich boy to enter into the kingdom of heaven?
2370Had not Donal said twenty times he would not mind being a herd all his life, if only he could go to college first?
2370He could swim to the tree well enough, and, he thought, back again, but how was that to be made of service to Angus?
2370Her questioning cogitation was to this effect:"What need has a man to know anything but what the New Testament teaches him?
2370His mother did not believe such things, but she believed nothing but her New Testament!--and what if there should be something in them?
2370His relatives ought to do something: they failing, of whom could further requisition be made?
2370Hoo wad an auld wife like me luik in sic a place-- an''in sic duds as this?
2370How could a man be a burn, or a wind, or the sun?
2370How did the horses manage to get such dry stuff down their throats?
2370How was Sir George to glorify the God whom he could honestly thank for nothing but whisky, the sole of his gifts that he prized?
2370Hurriedly Gibbie asked on his fingers:"Was Donal not good to you?"
2370I can not have a woman like that sitting at my table.--Do you know what sort of a person she is?"
2370I could n''t let him think I might have married him-- in any case: could I now, Gibbie?"
2370I suppose he told you he was your injured, neglected, ill- used cousin?
2370If Jesus did, would he have left it all and gone to sleep, when the wind and waves were howling, and flinging the boat about like a toy between them?
2370If he should never come back, what would become of her?
2370If it was like this already, how would it be in the time to come?
2370If mere battle with storm was a delight to the boy, what would not a mortal tussle with the elements for the love of men be?
2370If the Lord were to appear in person amongst us, how much would the sight of him do for the sinners of our day?
2370If you know him, why do I not know him?
2370In other words, are the utensils in your kitchen endowed with powers of locomotion?
2370Is not your father your best friend?"
2370Is that to say''at you an''me''s to be no more to ane anither nor ither fowk?
2370Is there naebody there to gie ye a daud?
2370It may be well for drunkards that they are social outcasts, but is there no intercession to be made for them-- no excuse to be pleaded?
2370It must mean that she was to ask God to help her: was that the same as saying prayers?
2370It''s not a dangerous place, is it?"
2370Janet was arrested in her turn: could the fierce, repellent, whisky- craving woman be the mother of her gracious Gibbie?
2370Kenna ye''at the mair shame the mair grace?
2370Match such as hers with thy love, maiden of twenty, and where wilt thou find the man I say not worthy, but fit to mate with thee?
2370Matthew Kimble of the next parish to your own?"
2370Meantime was there nothing he could do for the splendid creature?
2370Night on the hillsides and in the fields he knew well; but this was like a place of tombs-- what else, when all were dead for the night?
2370O God, what garred ye mak things''at wad mak whusky, whan ye kenned it wad mak sic a beast o''me?"
2370Or did he presume on the familiarity of their boyhood, and wish to sport his acquaintance with the popular preacher?
2370Or to use a figure more to the point, are they provided with members necessary to the washing of their own-- persons, shall I say?
2370Returning presently, he spelled with fingers and signed with hands to Ginevra that it was a glorious night: would she not come for a walk?
2370Sae first ye turnt me oot o''my ain hoose, an''noo ye turn me oot o''yours; an''what''s left ye to turn me oot o''but the hoose o''the Lord?
2370Sclater?"
2370Shall I not hear them again?"
2370She concluded she must be mistaken, for who could have touched it?
2370She could not find her way down the mountain; and if she could, where was she to go, with all Daurside under water?
2370She had a twistit brainch o''blew berries aboot her helmet, an''they ca''d her Juniper: wasna that queer, noo?
2370She laughed also-- who could have helped it?
2370She looked up therefore from her book, and said--"Can ye read, laddie?"
2370She rose, cast an angry look at the dumb prophet, a look which seemed to say"How dare you suggest such a thing?"
2370She was eating porridge and milk: with spoon arrested in mid- passage, she stopped suddenly, and said:--"Papa, what''s a broonie?"
2370She was straining hard on the bit of propriety; but she knew them all so well?
2370She would soon have eaten up all the food in the cottage, and the storm might go on for ever, who could tell?
2370Tell me about it, Donal.--Do you know what it means, Nicie?"
2370That cudna be as things war inten''it, ye ken; sae what was to be said but set them richt?"
2370That was no matter: what else were teeth made strong and sharp for?
2370The Lord himself seems not to have been very hopeful about us, for he said, When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
2370The last one he ever read to her in that meadow was this: What gars ye sing, said the herd laddie, What gars ye sing sae lood?
2370Then Fergus said to the laird:"Did you see that young man, sir?
2370Then suddenly starting to his feet, he cried,"What do you mean, you rascal, by daring to insult me in my own house?
2370Then, if he was only the God of the good people, what was to become of the rest when they were lost on mountains?
2370They are the sort he was accustomed to when he received his first impressions, and how could it be otherwise?
2370Things were with him as they had always been, and whence was he to take a fresh start, and question what had been from the beginning?
2370Think ye sae, sir?
2370To Robert, Janet was one who knew-- one who was far ben???
2370To Robert, Janet was one who knew-- one who was far ben???
2370To Robert, Janet was one who knew-- one who was far ben???
2370Torrie?"
2370Wad that be to wuss him weel?
2370Wad ye even( compare) my hoose to Jock Thamson''s or Jeemie Deuk''s, baith i''this perris?"
2370Wad ye hae a fellow- cratur live to a''eternity ohn been ashamed o''sic a thing''s that?
2370Was a child with a Sir to his name, anything more in the eyes of God than a child without a name at all?
2370Was affront lying in wait for her again?
2370Was he going to drown her in that hole?
2370Was he gone where Gibbie''s father was gone?
2370Was it dissatisfaction then with herself that his look had waked?
2370Was it fear?
2370Was it impossible to gather such under the wings of any night- brooding hen?
2370Was it only that he might be the first in the race to right him?--and if so, then again, why?
2370Was it the good men that stopped breathing and grew cold?
2370Was the boy paralyzed?
2370Was this the answer God sent to the prayer she had offered in her sore need-- the beast- boy?
2370Was this then the voice into which the silence had been all the time deepening?--had the Presence thus taken form and declared itself?
2370Was''t yer soup or yer grace I soucht till, sir?
2370Were they not for the like of Donal?
2370Wha wad hae thoucht it?"
2370Wha was to tell wha was or wha wasna my brither?
2370Wharfor did ye doobt?
2370What ca''they ye, man?"
2370What could be the matter with the curious creature?
2370What could their landlady think?--the very first night?--and a lodger whom he had recommended?
2370What did his father''s herd- boy mean by talking such English to the ladies, and such vulgar Scotch to him?
2370What did it matter who or what her brownie was?
2370What do you mean by such impertinence?"
2370What garred ye rin upo''the deevil''s verra horns that gait?"
2370What harm had he done?
2370What if he did not intend going to church the next day?
2370What if the angel, to try her, had taken to himself the form of the beast- boy?
2370What if this cold in her bones were the cold of coming death?
2370What makes you think that?"
2370What right had his father''s herd- boy to question him as to his conduct?
2370What said ye till''i m?"
2370What should he do next?
2370What should we poor humans do without our God''s nights and mornings?
2370What wad be the use o''forgiein''ye, or hoo cud it win at ye, or what wad ye care for''t, or mak o''t, cairryin''a hell o''hate i''yer verra hert?
2370What wad ye hae here?
2370What was that cry from far away?
2370What was the cratur punished for?
2370What would Mrs. Sclater say to it?
2370What would her late aunt think to see her now?
2370What''s broucht ye here at sic a time?"
2370What, then, I repeat and leave it, did all this excitement on the part of one of the iron pillars of the church indicate?
2370Whaur come ye frae?"
2370Whaur''s yer boatle, sir?"
2370Whaur''s yer consistency, lass?"
2370Where could he get something to eat?
2370Where could horses be with such a depth of water about the place?
2370Where was the great matter?
2370Wherein then is the commonplace man to be blamed, for as he is, so must he think?
2370Who was there to tell?
2370Why do you not come and help me too?
2370Why had she been marked out for such misfortunes?
2370Why indeed?
2370Why should it be painful to me-- except indeed that it breaks my heart as often as I see you betray your invincible fondness for low company?"
2370Why should not Mr. Sclater manage somehow that Donal should go at once?
2370Winna ye haud?
2370With what?
2370Would Mistress Murkison be saved if she died that night?
2370Would all the good people be laid into holes and leave Gibbie quite alone?
2370Would any title-- even that of Earl or Duke, be recognized in the kingdom of heaven?
2370Would the foundations of the house outstand it?
2370Ye wad think she had licht eneuch to haud the cloods aff o''her, wad ye no, mem?
2370Ye wadna be fleyt to come an''see what the meen maks o''''t, wad ye, mem?"
2370Ye wadna think waur o''the angel Gabriel''at he hedna jist read Homer clean throu'', wad ye?"
2370Ye''ll come up the stair an''see?"
2370accepting the evil, slaying it, and returning none?
2370and what use was money to a boy who did not set his life at a pin''s fee?
2370and-- was she still so dazzled by the red sun as to see red where red was none?--or were those indeed blood- red streaks on his white skin?
2370are those lovely words gone-- altogether-- for ever?
2370but, Donal, that would n''t be enough!--Would it, Nicie?"
2370cried Mistress Croale, drawing herself up suddenly, with a snort of anger:"whan turnt I beggar?
2370exclaimed the laird,"you do not mean to tell me you have ever spoken to a young man like that?"
2370he said, as the two stood for a moment regarding him, a little doubtfully, but with smiles of welcome,"what is the meaning of this?
2370he said,"we canna follow her a''nicht; an''gien we did, what better wad she be i''the mornin''?
2370how could you?"
2370or what was it?
2370please the Lord, I wad fain gang wi''him.--An''what better wad Robert be to be laird?
2370said Janet, looking motherly at him:"--Sir Gibbie Galbraith?"
2370said Mr. Galbraith;"excuse me, but would you oblige me by giving your arm to my daughter?
2370said his master,"hoo cud she win sae far ohn gane to the boddom?"
2370she cried, jumping to her feet,"hae ye tint yer wuts?
2370she said to herself,"wha kens whan he may be at the door?
2370she said, in the pitying voice of a mother,"hoo cam ye here sic a hicht?
2370she said,"was that hoo the fowk wad hae''t o''me?"
2370that''s where the nickname comes from.--And you think she keeps up a communication with the clown through him?"
2370the little hussey dared to say I struck her?"
2370was he looking in a wrong direction?
2370was it a spectre?
2370what are ye efter?
2370what could have become of her little mistress?
2370what think ye o''me noo?"
2370whaur do ye bide, auld Death?"
2370whaur do ye bide, auld Death?"
2370whaur do ye bide, auld Death?"
2370where was the bridge?
2370where was the wall, and the gravelled road to the house?
2370ye''ll be the laird, wull ye, than?
6364''But what did all this HULLYBALOO come to? 6364 ''Du yer sheep mak ony resistance whan ye tak the lamb?

6364And are things no better,asked Cosmo,"since the present lord succeeded?"
6364And how make the best of this?
6364And where is this Cosmo? 6364 And who is this Cosmo whose advice you would have me ask?"
6364And wilt thou help me to do the truth?
6364And you are going to marry her?
6364Are n''t you always wanting to climb and climb, Lady Joan?
6364Are they going straight home together? 6364 Are ye my ain bairn?"
6364Are ye no weel, Cosmo?
6364Are ye sair hurtit, my bairn?
6364Are ye the same, Cosmo?
6364Are you as strong as you used to be, Cosmo-- I mean when you are well?

6364But do you know why, Joan?

6364But whaur banes are concernt, hasna there aye been fause play?
6364But why might not something show itself once-- just for once, if only to give one a start in the right direction?
6364But why should that have done him any harm?
6364But why should the brute kick?
6364But wull ye be bidin''on, noo''at ye haena him''at''s gane? 6364 But ye ken aboot algebra"--she pronounced the word with the accent on the second syllable--"divna ye, maister Cosmo?"

6364Did Grannie mak mention o''sic a door?
6364Did YE never hear the auld saw, Grizzie,he said:"Throu the heather an''how gaed the creepin''thing, But abune was the waught o''an angel''s wing--?"
6364Did YOU see anything frightful about my man of light, papa?

6364Did ye want to lea''me ahin''ye?
6364Did you observe that peculiar appearance in the snow- heap, on the other side of the court, Cosmo?
6364Dinna ye think,said Cosmo,"I micht set oot the morn efter a'', though on a different eeran'', an''gang straucht to Mr. Burns?
6364Do YOU believe in ghosts, papa?
6364Do the neighbours take no notice of her?
6364Do you believe in it, papa?
6364Do you found that conclusion on my having no money, or on my readiness to do the first honest piece of work that comes to my hand?
6364Do you have many letters, Joan?
6364Do you like to lean on me, Cosmo?
6364Do you remember showing me a horse just like that one, only larger?
6364Do you think so, papa?
6364Do you think you could ride on a man''s saddle?
6364Does her brother never go out to dinner anywhere, and take her with him?
6364Dost thou then think,said she, and her voice was full of anger, which yet it seemed as she would hide,"that I am not pleasant to look upon?
6364Doth God care for oxen?
6364Eh, sir, what for sud ye be in sic a hurry to sleep awa''the bonny daylicht?
6364Eh, wuman? 6364 For that maitter, Cosmo, are na we a''brithers an''sisters?

6364Grannie''s lyin''there her lee- lane, an''gien the hoose was to tak fire, what wad come o''her?
6364Grizzie,said the laird,"hae ye a drappy o''soor milk?
6364Had we not better go to the drawing- room, my lord?
6364Hae ye been lang aboot the place?

6364Have you a library?
6364Have you any more of that claret?
6364He is very near it, certainly,assented Cosmo,"but why not he as well as another?"
6364Here,said his lordship to his host,"move back this table and chair a bit, will you?
6364Hoo am I to win in than, sir? 6364 Hoo did ye hide it?"
6364Hoo kenned ye it was a kelpie-- it''s maist as dark''s pick?
6364Hoo sud ye, sir? 6364 Hoo''s a''wi''ye?"
6364Hoo''s gran''mamma?
6364Hoo''s my father, Grizzie?
6364Hoo''s the auld reprobat, laird-- an''I beg yer pardon?
6364House and all?
6364How can that be, if it belonged to your great uncle?
6364How can they hurt, being the hardest things in the world?
6364How can you love God, Joan, and be afraid to speak before him? 6364 How could that be, papa?"
6364How do you do, Grizzie?
6364How do you find yourself, my boy?
6364How do you know that? 6364 How do you know your dinner will be good?"
6364How many years have you been gardener here?
6364How much, then-- exactly?
6364How was that?
6364How would it be,he thought again,"if things were to come and go as they pleased in my mind and brain?
6364How''s the algebra getting on, Agnes?
6364I MAY keep this ring, may I not, Cosmo?
6364I doobt sair gien ye''ll win to Howglen the nicht,said Aggie.--"But ye''re not yer lone?
6364I doobt ye winna min''me takin''ye oot o''the Warlock ae day there was a gey bit o''a spait on?
6364I hae a''thing at hame to make me blithe--''cep''it be a wheen mair siller,answered Cosmo;"but maybe that''ll come neist-- wha kens?"
6364I hope your ladyship is well this morning?
6364I remember your once telling me an amusing story of an adventure-- let me see-- yes, that was in an East Indiaman: was he the captain of that one?
6364I wad sair like to brak throu the buirds, father?
6364If he HAD asked you to marry him, Joan?
6364Ill''s the trowth o''them''at''s ill. What for no set ill names to ill duers?
6364Is it possible?
6364Is n''t it enough to think how I have treated you?
6364Is that girl your sister?
6364Is the place very old, Cosmo?
6364Is there naething I cud help ye wi'', Aggie, afore I gang?
6364Ken ye whaur ye got the last?
6364Kenna ye wha''s the prence o''''t, laddie? 6364 Langer nor ye''re like to be, I''m thinkin'', gien ye keep na the ceeviler tongue i''yer heid, my man-- Whaur come ye frae?"
6364Let''s see-- where shall I find a graip?
6364May I ask if your lordship is prepared to make me an offer?--or will you call on my father when you have made up your mind?
6364Maybe ye wadna objec''to mak mention by name o''the toon nearest to ye whan ye was at hame?
6364Must I tell you, Cosmo?
6364My lord,said the laird,"I think you will find your room tolerably comfortable now: shall I have the pleasure of showing you the way?"
6364Naebody has a richt to say til anither''Whaur got ye that?'' 6364 Not got two decanters, you fool?"
6364Not in money?
6364Now, then, Mr. Warlock, where''s this breakfast of yours?
6364Oh, you are a scholar-- are you? 6364 Ow, wha but the laird himsel''?"
6364Plague take the man!--what is it, then?
6364Pray who asks you to tell a story?
6364Say ye sae, laird?
6364Shall I tell you a story, my lady?
6364She cudna weel help hersel'',he rejoined;"an''whaur''s the maitter, sae lang as she has naething to say til''i m?"
6364Suppose the lasses had a ch''ice tu, my lord?
6364Ten?
6364The desk stan''s close again''the wa'', does na''t?
6364The haill country- side''ill be gratefu''to ye, Aggie.--Ye''ll lat me come an''see ye whiles?
6364The present lord is a young man, is he not?
6364Then I ask thee again,she said,"what thinkest thou of me?"
6364Then a man''s knowledge is for himself alone-- for his own behoof exclusively-- not for the common advantage of himself and his neighbour?
6364Then has my lady no companions at all?
6364Then ye can pairt wi''the auld hoose ohn grutten?
6364Then you accept the two hundred for croft and all, father?
6364Then, Lord, let me die in peace,he said,"for mine eyes hae seen thy salvation!--But ye dinna luik freely the same, Cosmo!--Hoo is''t?"
6364They''ll be eneuch to pey oor debts ony gait, ye think, Cosmo?
6364Think ye a lang tongue''s a lass''s safety, Cosmo? 6364 This?"
6364To borrow a little money of me for a few months? 6364 To judge by your last speech, my lord,--""Oh, by my last speech, eh?
6364Wad YE dress up like a gran''leddy to gang efter yer yoong man?
6364Wad it be revenge, than, think ye?
6364Was I snorin'', laddie,''at ye leuch?
6364Was the thing ye said no true?
6364Was there ony mair o''the ballant?
6364Was ye content wi''my getherin''to ye-- to your scythe, I mean, laird?
6364Was yon you upo''the ro''d afore me, Aggie?
6364Weel, cam I no by the tarn o''the tap o''Stieve Know?
6364Weel, tak the key, an''ye winna forget, John?
6364Weel, what for lat ye him stan''there? 6364 Well, have you brought the cards?"
6364Well, what did n''t he?
6364Well?
6364Well?
6364Wha auchit it, grannie?
6364Wha come to ken o''what, Grizzie?
6364Wha could hae been ither, Miss Elsie? 6364 Wha says sic a thing, laddie?"
6364Wha''s speirin? 6364 What aboot, Cosmo?"
6364What account of myself can I give my people?
6364What aileth thee, good mother?
6364What am I to do then? 6364 What are they going to do?"
6364What are we to do then?
6364What are you dreaming about, Cossie?
6364What are you keeping that cursed dog there for?
6364What can there be ahin''the bureau, father?
6364What colour were her eyes, Cosmo?
6364What cud he du, sir? 6364 What did I say?"
6364What did he that for?
6364What difference does that make?
6364What do you mean, woman? 6364 What do you mean?"
6364What do you want with a library?
6364What does the woman mean?
6364What drink would your lordship have? 6364 What for arena ye spinnin'', Grannie?"
6364What for did ye ca''''t foolish, father?
6364What for didna ye bide?
6364What for didna ye come to me to len''ye ane? 6364 What for didna ye speir that at me afore?"
6364What for didna ye tell?
6364What for mak ye nae answer whan a body speirs ye a queston? 6364 What for no men as weel''s horses an''watches?"
6364What for no?
6364What for no?
6364What gars ye speir, Grannie?
6364What gars ye speir, grannie?
6364What gars ye speir?
6364What gien I dinna tell ye, Grizzie?
6364What had we better do?
6364What hae ye i''yer heid, Aggie? 6364 What have you got?"
6364What in mercy can hae come o''the laird, think ye, my leddy?
6364What is that?
6364What is there to ruin''at he can ruin mair?
6364What luik they, father?
6364What maitter whether there be sic a lass or no, sae lang as gien there was ane, she wad be ower muckle for ye?
6364What makes you so spiteful, Aggie? 6364 What maks his heid sair?
6364What mean ye, wuman?
6364What on earth was ye duin''there efter dark, Grizzie?
6364What sort of a man is he?
6364What the deuce should he see, when he has got to feel his way with his hands?
6364What wad ye hae me du, Aggie?
6364What wad ye say to be made yoong again, auld frien''?
6364What wad ye want wi''a can''le? 6364 What wad yer lordship hae?
6364What was I duin''? 6364 What was i''the pock than?"
6364What would they do?
6364What''s come o''Grizzie?
6364What''s come till''i m?
6364What''s that to the p''int?
6364What''s that ye hae there, Cosmo?
6364What''s that you are reading?
6364What''s the guid o''twa whaur ane only need be, an''baith hae to fecht for themsel''s?
6364What''s the maitter wi''ye, Aggie?
6364What''s the matter?
6364What''s this o''''t?
6364What''s yer wull, mem?
6364What''s yon, Cosmo?
6364Whaur are ye gaein'', Aggie?
6364Whaur but i''the best bedroom?
6364Whaur got ye''t?
6364Whaur said ye the captain sleepit whan he was at the castle?
6364Whaur''s the guid o''ca''in''ill names,''uman?
6364Whaur''s the wrang o''that, Miss Elsie?
6364Whause is''t than?
6364When was that? 6364 Where am I?"
6364Where does the love of your neighbour come in then?
6364Where have you come from?
6364Where is the use?
6364Wherefore followest thou me,said the knight,"if I may do nothing to serve thee?"
6364Wherefore then ridest thou about the world?
6364Which of us is the merrier-- you or me? 6364 Who are you?"
6364Who spoke of refusing it to him?
6364Why did n''t you tell me before?
6364Why did n''t you write,--?
6364Why do n''t you give me my brandy-- do you hear?
6364Why does n''t the coachman go on?
6364Why not?
6364Why should it terrify him?
6364Why would n''t she?
6364Will ye tell me ane the nicht gien I haud my tongue an''gang hame wi''ye?
6364Will you allow me to jump the gate?
6364Will you bet on the game or the gammon?
6364Will you come and find the coachman for me, Cosmo?
6364Will you not come, Lord Mergwain?
6364Will you please tell me if I am on the way to Castle Warlock?
6364Will you take me about the place?
6364Will you tell me why you would not marry him?
6364Wo n''t you come yourself, father, and show them to us?
6364Would you like to have some lessons with me? 6364 Would you?"
6364Would your lordship like to hear a little of the book, then?
6364Wull she ken me?
6364Ye dinna mean, grannie, there''s onything no canny aboot the stick?
6364Ye dinna think it wad be worth while openin''''t up direc''ly?
6364Ye ken the story o''the guid Samaritan, my lord?
6364Ye ken wha sits by the deein''sparrow?
6364Ye min''Grizzie''s rime,he said:"''Whan the coo loups ower the mune, The reid gowd rains intil men''s shune''?
6364Ye min''the rime, father?
6364Ye think wi''me''at he''s deid-- dinna ye, Grizzie?
6364Ye winna wauk the hoose, will ye, sir?
6364Ye''ll be gaein''to see yer sister, Miss Elsie?
6364Ye''re no angry at me, Aggie?
6364Yes-- but if you do n''t want to get out?
6364You are very fond of it, then?
6364You think then that what we are sent here for is to make a fortune?
6364You well may, if I stop here,he returned-- then, after a pause,"Did I talk?"
6364You will spend the night with me then?
6364You''ll do me the honour to put up at my house to- night, will you not? 6364 You''re not vexed with me, are you, papa?"
6364--"But,"he resumed,"were YOU never in any difficulty?
6364--"Howcan I help thee, woman,"he said then,"although in truth thou art not my mother, and I may not call thee good?"
6364--But du ye loe HIM the same as ever, Cosmo?"
6364--It was a phrase much favoured by the master-- in present application foolish.--"But perhaps your father does not mean to send you to college?"
6364--What is the thing worth?"
6364--a beginning as good as any?
6364--you think it strange that I talk so?"
6364?"
6364A kind of truculent question was in his eyes-- as much as to say,"Now then, what do you make of it all?
6364A man may have a wife who is all the world to him, but must he therefore set her on a throne?
6364All at once a thought came to him: why should he not, for present need, pledge the labour of his body in the coming harvest?
6364An''didna I come hame a''the better for''t?"
6364An''didna I come hame by Luck''s Lift?
6364An''didna I tak it?
6364An''for returnin''evil, did I no haud the dog frae the deithshanks o''''i m?"
6364An''for waur straits, Grizzie-- are na ye at the verra last wi''yer meal?"
6364An''gien the ghaist haunt the hoose, isna he better oot o''''t?
6364An''was I no in need o''''t?
6364An''what''s takin''ye frae hame this time, sir?"
6364And are they not therein already on the level of most of us Christians who in this mood and that praise God?
6364And in the next-- what then, Joan?
6364And indeed are not the birds and the rest of the creatures Christians in the same way as the vast mass of those that call themselves such?
6364And now his muttering took, to the ears of Cosmo, an indistinct shape like this:"Wha cares for an auld man like me?
6364And now where would the horse be safest?
6364And was he not a king?
6364And was it separable?
6364And what would the neighbours think?
6364And where there is no longer anything covered or hid, could sin live at all?
6364And why did not the jeweller make some reply to his request concerning the things he had sent him?
6364Are there no doors out?
6364At his heart in the bottom he made a clutch-- A heart or a puff- ball of sin?
6364Awhope you''n lost noan so mich?"
6364Burns?"
6364But amo''freen''s, that cudna be; an''''deed, Mr. Warlock, gien a body wad be captious, michtna he say it wad hae been mair freen''ly to beg aff?"
6364But as I can ask for no one more than it is absolutely worth, I must take my profit off you: do you think that is fair?"
6364But did ye never hear tell o''ane''at said:''Ye wad du naething for nane o''mine, sae ye refeesed mysel''?"
6364But efter a'', Cosmo, I wad be some oot o''my place-- wadna I noo?
6364But from the sky, he was sent back to the earth in further pursuit; for, whence came the rain, his books told him, but from the sea?
6364But how drive a nail into such a hole as that?"
6364But i''this case, whaur, I say, was the wauges?
6364But noo ye hae putten''t i''my held, I min''my mother sayin''''at there was ance a passage atween the twa blocks o''the hoose: could it be there?
6364But perhaps you would like a game of draughts, or backgammon?"
6364But such a smile flooded Cosmo''s face, mingled with such a pleading look of apology and excuse, which seemed to say,"How_ could_ I help it?"
6364But tell me now, sir knight, what thinkest thou of me?"
6364But then Grizzie rose in haste, like one that had overslept herself, and said:"I maun to my wark, laird-- what think ye?"
6364But then again, what?
6364But there had arisen in the mind of the laird a fear: might not Cosmo unwittingly have had some share in the frightful event?
6364But this day-- and what man has to do with yesterday or to- morrow?
6364But wad he, think ye?
6364But we''ll sune set that richt.--Hoo far hae ye come, mem, gien I may speir?
6364But whan a man''s deid, what can a''the warl''du for''i m but berry''i m?
6364But what could I do?
6364But what have we done for the world that we should dare look to it to help us?"
6364But what pairt o''''t ran ye frae whan ye cam awa''?"
6364But what''s he gaein''to du wi''ye, Maister Cosmo, gien a body micht speir''at has nae richt to be keerious?"
6364But what''s ta''en ye the nicht,''at ye speyk to me sae?
6364But where was his father?
6364But why should he have troubled his head so about a stick?
6364But will you come?"
6364But would any servant in England admit a fellow like him to the presence of a grand lady?
6364But ye see, what was there left?
6364But you look sad, Joan!--I MAY call you Joan still, may n''t I?"
6364But, Cosmo, whan ye said the word, didna YOUR hert tell ye ye meant by''t something no jist the verra same as ye inten''it me to un''erstan''by''t?"
6364But, all this granted and settled, WHERE WAS THE MONEY TO COME FROM?
6364By my dying declaration?
6364Cosmo stood thinking: was there any way out of the difficulty?
6364Could it be that God verily intended for him this last humiliation of all?
6364Could it be the same chamber?
6364Could one night''s illness have reduced him thus?
6364Could that ever have been HIS which he could not keep?
6364Did I not tell you I would not be bound by the offer?
6364Did not the Lord say he was a king, because he came into the world to bear witness to the truth?
6364Did ye tak notice o''her feet?"
6364Didna I ken him as weel as my ain father-- as weel''s my ain minister-- as weel as my ain man?
6364Dinna ye ken''at the speerit o''man''s the can''le o''the Lord?"
6364Dinna ye see''at we dinna match?"
6364Disna he ken the word o''a Warlock''s as guid as gowd?
6364Disna he ken''at Castle Warlock itsel''wad be a warl''s honour to ony leddy-- no to say a lass broucht up ower a slauchter- hoose?
6364Disna he ken_ your_ wark, what wi''yer pride an''what wi''yer ill- placed graititude,''ill be worth til''i m that o''twa men?
6364Do n''t you always want to be getting up?--up higher than you are?"
6364Do they heed St. Paul when he says,"Whatsoever is not of faith is sin"?
6364Do they not belong to the creation groaning after a redemption they do not know?
6364Do you remember the silly Scotch rime I repeated the other day, when you told me I had been talking poetry in my sleep?"
6364Does not swift comfort and ready substitution show first love rather, the passion between man and woman than between a man and a woman?
6364Doth God care for kings?
6364Du ye think I''m nae mair o''a man nor to care what I pit intil me?
6364Everything in this world is but temporary: why should temporary help be undervalued?
6364For had there not been in him a vague condescension operant all the time?
6364For is it not a reproduction in small of the loftiest mystery in human ken-- that of the infinite Father and infinite Son?
6364For that which has nothing to do with life, what can it be but a lie?
6364For what is the extent of our merely rational horizon at any time?
6364For where was God this awful time?
6364Get me some brandy, will you?"
6364Gien I had it, what for sud na ye hae''t''at has the best richt?"
6364Gien he had taen ony ither w''y o''makin''fowk, whaur wad I hae been this day wantin''you, Cosmo?"
6364Gien ye come to that wi''''t, hoo was the Lord o''a''himself supportit whan he gaed aboot cleanin''oot the warl''?
6364Had he been going through a town, who would have taken him in at that time of the midnight- morning?
6364Had he hurt her anyhow?
6364Had he not been all but conscious of the feeling that his position made up for any want in his love?
6364Had he presumed on her kindness?
6364Had he unconsciously put on the schoolmaster with her?
6364Had she been conventionally a lady, instead of an angel in peasant form, would he have been so ready to return her kindness with an offer of marriage?
6364Had that secret, whatever it was, been discovered, or did it remain for him now to discover?
6364Had the cold then won its way into the house?
6364Hae ye ony baubees?"
6364Hardly was she seated when he took the stick, and said,"Did you ever see that before, Joan?"
6364Hasna he seen ye at the scythe?
6364Have I a right to know or have I not?"
6364Have you always had your pockets full when you were doing right?
6364Have you got a hair- pin you could give me?"
6364He looked at Aggie as much as to say,"What can be coming?"
6364He turned quickly to Joan: was not this a fresh chance of putting trust in her?
6364He turned to Cosmo and said,"Cosmo, are they what they luik?"
6364He was but two and twenty, with a pure conscience, and an endless hope-- so might he not well lie quiet in his bed?
6364Hence mainly arose Grizzie''s desire to play upon the fears of the English lord; for might he not be driven by terror to make restitution?
6364Her look said what his father''s voice had said just before--"Are ye a''there-- a''''at there used to be?"
6364His mind also was crossed by a painful doubt: was the young man a mere innocent?
6364Hoo sud ye than?
6364Hoo''s your father, an''hoo''s mine?"
6364How am I to get ready for college?"
6364How are we to find him?"
6364How could I be angry with you?
6364How could I get the money you speak of for it?
6364How could there be a grate where there was neither house nor wall?
6364How else should they want a knife in a snowstorm?
6364How so?
6364How was he to approach Lady Joan in such a plight?
6364How was it he had not yet found him, if he had been so long dead?
6364How was the dark fountain fed but from the sky?
6364How was the sky fed but from the sea?
6364How was the torrent fed but from the fountain?
6364How?
6364I ask, or for Jew- shepherds?
6364I dare to imagine this the final victory of our Lord, when he followed the cry of WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?
6364I hope you can take tea?
6364I say, now-- would you hang a man, laird-- I mean, when you could get no good out of it-- not a ha''p''orth for yourself or your family?"
6364I see; a spread- eagle!--But is my room not ready yet?
6364I shall know one day, why should I be eager to know now?"
6364I''m thinkin''by the cry o''the win'', it''ll be a wull mirk again.--What think ye, laird?"
6364I''the meantime hadna ye better beery yer deid again?
6364If he does not care to reveal, is it well I should make haste to know?
6364If it was not a dream, how had they moved him without once disturbing his sleep?
6364If they had themselves no joys but their permanent ones, where would the hearts of them be?
6364In a word, whence the eagerness of curiosity that now possessed Cosmo?
6364Is mine to be worth nothing to me?
6364Isna it easy eneuch to lee?"
6364It is a curious utensil, is it not?
6364It may be God lets her do that, that she may see of the travail of her soul and be satisfied-- who can tell?
6364It must be a sketch or lineation of something-- but of what?
6364It wadna be a watch for the yoong laird?
6364Jermyn?"
6364Jonah might grumble at the withering of his gourd, but if it had not grown at all, would he ever have preached to Nineveh?
6364Ken ye onything aboot it?"
6364Let''s have some supper, will you?
6364Lord Mergwain turned to his daughter and said,"What does the man mean?
6364Mair by token, wadna the guidman o''that same hae me du what I haena dune this twae year, or maybe twenty-- tak a dram?
6364May I go with Cosmo?"
6364No even the mistress hersel''wad hae prezhunt upo''that?"
6364Nor, if the things themselves are not worth remembering, or worthy of influencing us, is there any good in enquiring concerning them?
6364Of all things why should a true man heed the unjust judgment?
6364Only the Christian is then miserable, and Lord Mergwain was relieved; for did he not then come to himself?
6364Only, gien he did, whaur was the wauges o''his ineequity?
6364Or does he not care all over for all of us-- oxen and kings and sparrows and Scotch lairds?
6364Or have n''t you one to sit in?
6364Sae come awa''an''walcome!--ye''ll tak something afore we fa''tu?"
6364Sae wull ye hae a drappy parritch an''ream?
6364Sae, like the minister, I come to the conclusion-- But I hae yer leave, laird, to speyk?"
6364Shall I go to his lordship at once and accept his offer?
6364Shall I mind a thing that is not worth minding, because it came to me in a dream, or was told me by a ghost?
6364Shall we not rather gird up our strength to encounter it, that we too from our side may break the passage for the light beyond?
6364Shall we then bemoan any darkness?
6364Should she take her advice, and seek his?
6364Such things had been-- why might it not be?
6364Tea for me, before everything!--How am I to pretend to swallow the stuff?"
6364The boy rose, and coming forward, rather like one walking in his sleep, stood up before his grandmother, and said,"What was ye sayin'', gran''mamma?"
6364The laird held his peace for a time, then spoke again:"Would your lordship think me rude if I were to take a book?"
6364The only question is-- DOES IT HELP?
6364Then laughed she aloud, and said to him,"Nay, but did I not tell thee thou didst not dare speak the thing to my face?
6364Then said he to her again,"Dost thou not love the truth?"
6364Then said she unto him,"Who then hath the bluest eyes of all the ladies at the court of our lord the king?"
6364Then, having so begun with the dust, how do these ever come to raise their eyes to the hills?
6364There are the hills again every winter, but will the old days ever come again, Cosmo?"
6364There lay Lord Mergwain!--or was it but a thing of nought-- the deserted house, of a living soul?
6364There would be no promise in the stars then: they look now like promises, do n''t they?
6364Therewith she left the room, and hastening to her own, saw in the mirror the red of a lie, said to herself,"What will Cosmo think?"
6364This horrible old hag might remember else- forgotten things?
6364To whom else would it be worth anything, bedded in my property?
6364Wad ye hae him come hame to sic company?"
6364Warlock?"
6364Was he actually going to see her again?
6364Was he indeed in the workhouse he had pre-- ferred to Cairncarque?
6364Was he never to escape them, in the body any more than in the spirit?
6364Was he upon the road at all?
6364Was his strength ever his then?
6364Was it a fire in a grate, thinned away by the sunlight?
6364Was it gone utterly?
6364Was it having its deathly will of them all?
6364Was it not better for the world, for the creditors, and for all, that one of Cosmo''s vigour should be educated?
6364Was it not the best possible investment of any money he could lay hold of?
6364Was it right to spend on his son''s education what might go to the creditors?
6364Was not Aggie one of the family-- more like a sister to him than any other could ever be?
6364Was the place empty utterly?
6364Was there no life in it?
6364Was this all the great mystery of the berimed horse?
6364Wasna I ower the hill to my ain fowk i''the How o''Hap?
6364Wasna I richt?
6364Wasna it the women''at gaed wi''''i m''at providit a''thing?"
6364Were the sun not shining, would there be one single shadow?
6364Were those divine women to spend money, time, and labour, that he and his father should hold what they had no longer any right to hold?
6364Wha is there in Muir o''Warlock could change''t, an''wha wad I gang til wi''''t gien he could?"
6364Wha kens na auld Grizzie,''at never turnt her back on freen''or foe?
6364Wha kens what may be oot i''the nicht?"
6364What aged- man micht he be-- did ye ever hear tell?"
6364What could be sairer, for instance, upon a miser, nor to see his heir gang to the deevil by scatterin''what he gaed to the deevil by gatherin''?"
6364What do you mean by that?"
6364What else?
6364What for are ye no at the school?
6364What for camna ye thestreen?"
6364What for no a wall''at sud rin ile-- or say milk, which wad be mair to the purpose?
6364What for sud onything be forgotten?
6364What for sud ye gang?
6364What gars ye suppose a lass could hae her wull o''me in sic a w''y''s you?
6364What hae YE dune, my man?"
6364What have you ever asked her?"
6364What if the heart within them is lying content in a closer contact with ours than our dull fears and too level outlook will allow us to share?
6364What if they had drugged his wine?
6364What if, he thought with himself, he was the victim of a conspiracy?
6364What is it in suffering that makes man and beast long for loneliness?
6364What ken ye what she michtna hae there?"
6364What man would call the king his brother on the strength of a hundred and fifty pounds?
6364What matter where the region of the dead may be?
6364What pat it i''yer heid?"
6364What right had the morsel to be lying there, a trap and a gin for his character, in the dark and the cold?
6364What so precious thing between two lives as faith?
6364What think ye o''''t?"
6364What thoucht ye o''duin''wi''yersel''?"
6364What timmer is''t o''?"
6364What wad baudrins( PUSSY- CAT) there du wi''a silk goon?
6364What wad ye think o''yersel''gien the dochter o''Jeames Gracie war nae mair wice- like nor Meg Scroggie?"
6364What was it?
6364What was there now that Cosmo could do to make a little money?
6364What would his wife say?
6364What''ll ye du whan ye hae''t on?"
6364What''s the natur''o''''t, Cosmo?"
6364What''s your candid notion about me and my extraordinary behaviour?"
6364Whaur on this earth cam ye frae?"
6364Whaur, think ye, wad the sma''things ye wantit for my mother hae come frae, gien I hadna happent to hae that property left?
6364When she came up,"Are we gaein''ower fest for ye, Miss Elsie?"
6364Where am I-- do you hear?
6364Where could he be but in his coffin?
6364Where could it have been?
6364Where had his strength lain before he lost it?
6364Where''s Joan?
6364Wherever the thing was not done, did it not follow that the circumstances could not be the same?
6364Which of us is the stronger, Joan?
6364Which was the dream-- that vision of wretchedness, or this of luxury?
6364Why are such relentless towards every slightest relaxation of self restraint, who would themselves dare not a little upon occasion?
6364Why do n''t you answer me?"
6364Why do n''t you list?
6364Why does she come now the old laird is gone?"
6364Why else should they have stopped the carriage?
6364Why may not the dead speak to me, and I be unable to distinguish their words from my thoughts?
6364Why not in this?
6364Why should he not amuse himself, rather than lie shivering on couch inhospitable?
6364Why then-- but for that we will wait-- who more earnestly than I?
6364Will that day ever come again?
6364Will you engage me for the coming harvest, and pay me a part of the fee in advance?
6364Winna ye be gaein''awa'', to write buiks, an''gar fowk fin''oot what''s the maitter wi''them?"
6364Woman, lovest thou the truth, nor only to speak it when it is sharp?"
6364Would he not be wrong to ask it from another?
6364Would he not feel that Joan wronged him, if she asked some one else for any help he could give her?
6364Would that not be madness?
6364Would you drive me mad with your gibberish?"
6364Would you not pull out a drowning bather because he will bathe again to- morrow?
6364YOU have never seen him before, my boy, have you?"
6364Ye wadna gang on i''this warl''for ever?"
6364Ye wadna hae me ait the breid o''idleness?"
6364You will let me see you before you leave the castle?"
6364You''re all Cosmos, are you?
6364an''what richt hae ye to speir?"
6364and did he know anything better to arrive at than just that wretched self of his?
6364and would she be to him the same as before?
6364answered Grizzie,"Wha''s to come atween father an''son wi''licht upo''family- affairs?
6364are not all human ills doomed thus to vanish at last in the eternal fire of the love- burning God?--An''noo, father, what''ll we du neist?"
6364been acting on a holy faith that yet had no foundation?
6364but how shall I make my reader see it with me?
6364but what made it a presumption?"
6364but whence such an assured conviction?
6364but why had not Lady Joan told him hundreds of stories about Cairncarque, instead of letting him gabble on about their little place?
6364ca n''t I do it properly?"
6364cried Cosmo, darting to her side;"what is it, Joan?"
6364cried the laird, with more impatience than Cosmo had ever seen him show,"is the man mad, or does he take me for a fool?"
6364did you never hear the proverb,''Diamond cut diamond''?
6364have n''t you?
6364have you been married?"
6364he said at length, in a voice that was not like his own,"didna ye ken i''yer ain sowl we wad raither hae dee''d?"
6364he said gruffly,"and get us something to eat?"
6364he said, in an altered tone,"canna ye tak a jeist?"
6364he said, in much concern,"what are ye greitin''for?"
6364he said,"was na ye jist tellin''me no to heed him a hair?
6364he said,"what brings ye here this time o''day?
6364he was na ane to sing, the auld captain.--Did ye never hear tell o''''i m, laddie?"
6364hoo cud there be ony sense in sic havers?"
6364how was the ocean fed but from his loved torrent?
6364if all the ladies in the world should forsake him, was not God yet the all in all?
6364if he had written, what would she not have found herself compelled to do!--"Why did n''t you send for me at once?
6364interrupted Grizzie;"what has he dune?
6364is that you singin''o''the Sawbath day?"
6364it was aye wark they wad hae!--an''cudna du mair nor a flee amo''triacle!--What coonty are ye frae, wi''the lang legs an''the lang back- bane o''ye?"
6364it''s you?"
6364muttered Grizzie, and made haste to cover the words:"Whaur got ye that, Cosmo?"
6364or of what kind of thing?
6364or should she press on for Howglen?
6364or wad ye prefar a sup of fine gruel, sic as yer mother used to like weel frae my han'', whan it sae happent I was i''the hoose?"
6364quo''he?
6364quo''he?
6364said Lord Mergwain, and spoke with a snarl,"you will not deprive us of the only pleasure we have-- that of your company?"
6364said the laird, with a laugh that had in it just a touch of scorn,"gien the thing be sae plain, what gars ye gang that gait aboot the buss to say''t?
6364say ye?"
6364says my reader?
6364she called, rising as she spoke,"winna ye bide for me?
6364so sure''s deith, ye wad hae had to tak the lass!--Cosmo, ye canna but ken the auld tale o''muckle- moo''d Meg?"
6364that there is no essential life within my conscious life, no spirit within my spirit?
6364the graciousness of a mother such as that father caused him to remember her?
6364thoucht I,''is he gaein to lie doon wi''''s ain corp?''
6364was I traitor bad enough to call it a poor dinner?
6364was he"NO A''THERE?"
6364wha kens?"
6364what KIN''o''faith is''t, to refuse a sup,''cause ye see na anither spunefu''upo''the ro''d ahin''''t?"
6364what are ye aboot, sir?"
6364what set ye lauchin''in sic a fearsome fashion as yon?
6364what the deuce do you want with grapes in a stable?"
6364what wad be intil''t but jist fulish nonsense?
6364what''s come to my bairn?"
6364what''s that at my feet?"
6364why would n''t he lie still?
6364you do n''t mean we have to go out of doors to reach our bedrooms?"
5969A dome-- is it not?
5969Am I a good enough farmer, then, to serve your turn?
5969Am I to believe my ears, Alister?
5969And can you hear what they will be saying?
5969And got frost- bitten for your pains?
5969And have all your people quite under your own care?
5969And how about horse and dog?
5969And should n''t the poor be pitied?
5969And so, from sympathy, you side with my cattle?
5969And take you away, Annie?
5969And that is why you speak of Nature as a person?
5969And what did follow?
5969And what news is there from Ian?
5969And what was she?
5969And what were their clothes like, Rob?
5969And what were they saying?
5969And when was it you heard from Lachlan, Annie?
5969And who knows,suggested Ian,"what good it may be to the fox himself to make the best of a greedy life?"
5969And why not?
5969And you think it hard?
5969Any presbyterian place?
5969Are not you his chief?
5969Are you a big man?
5969Are you equal to a bit of bad news, mother?
5969Are you far behind with your rent?
5969Are you going to shoot?
5969Are you going to stand there all night?
5969Are you going?
5969Are you her father-- or her lover?
5969Are you not aware you are trespassing on my land, Macruadh?
5969Are you seeing any angels, Rob?
5969Are you sure God will teach me?
5969Are you sure it was God, Ian?
5969Are you sure of that? 5969 Are you sure we shall not be drowned?"
5969Are you sure you can get me over?
5969Are you sure you will not take cold mother dear?
5969Because I undertook to carry your bag, was I bound to endure your company?
5969Besides,she went on,"why should I go to anyone for counsel?
5969But I want to know what you mean by her having her revenge on you?
5969But Mercy,said the chief, when they had walked some distance without speaking,"do you think you could live here always, and never see London again?"
5969But how am I to begin? 5969 But how am I to get into it?
5969But how can I do a thing without understanding it?
5969But how can we come to a better-- I mean a FAIRER opinion of each other, when we meet so seldom?
5969But how could you endure the cold-- at night-- and without food?
5969But how? 5969 But now,"resumed the chief,"when will you be going for the rest of your peats?"
5969But shall I tell you,he went on,"what seems to me the most unpleasant thing about the business?"
5969But she understands?
5969But then how much is required?
5969But was it not a dangerous place to be in?
5969But what is the good to us of talking about such things?
5969But where''s Ian?
5969But why should YOU do it?
5969But why then should Christ have suffered?
5969But, sir,said Donal,"is it the part of brave men to give up their rights?"
5969But,said Mercy,"how can one love a thing that has no life?"
5969By what?
5969COULD they be made just to be got rid of?
5969Ca n''t you think of some way? 5969 Can it be God?"
5969Can you call it learning a lesson if you do not understand it?
5969Can you tell me, Macruadh,she said,"what makes Mrs. Conal so spiteful always?
5969Could you be content to be a farmer''s wife?
5969Could you hear us at that height?
5969Could you tell when last you were alone?
5969Craftie,said the chief,"is what you are telling me true?"
5969Did any flower ever make you a moment later in going to bed, or a moment earlier in getting out of it?
5969Did he say there would be no loving there, Alister? 5969 Did he see their faces?"
5969Did it draw you and my father from the way of peace?
5969Did it ever strike you as very large?
5969Did it never strike you that insolence might be carried too far?
5969Did the hairy worm go to the holy land too?
5969Did you always climb your dream- hills alone?
5969Did you ever read Zanoni?
5969Did you ever see London?
5969Did you ever see anything very big?
5969Did you ever see it from the top of Hampstead heath?
5969Did you never feel,he resumed,"as if you could not anyhow get room enough?"
5969Did you see my niece to- night at the shop?
5969Did you understand it?
5969Do n''t you know the palmer- worm? 5969 Do n''t you see his hands holding her out of the water?"
5969Do n''t you see, Chrissy,she said,"he reasoned this way:''If she tell her mother a lie, she may tell me a lie some day too!''?"
5969Do n''t you think we had better be going, Mercy? 5969 Do they eat each other?"
5969Do they not respect the rich man because he is rich, and look down on the poor man because he is poor?
5969Do you belong to these parts?
5969Do you know how Chaucer felt about flowers?
5969Do you know the tool- house?
5969Do you know the very bird?
5969Do you know them?
5969Do you like ploughing?
5969Do you mean nothing so beautiful?
5969Do you not think he looks much better going about God''s business?
5969Do you remember how Portia gave herself a wound, that she might prove to her husband she was able to keep a secret?
5969Do you suppose I should heed anything you said?
5969Do you think anything could make it better for you to stop here, after God thought it better for you to go?
5969Do you think ghosts see what goes on after they are dead?
5969Do you think the young ladies of the New House could understand Rob of the Angels, Ian?
5969Does he believe what he tells?
5969Else you wo n''t marry me? 5969 HOME, said you?"
5969Had he big horns?
5969Had n''t you better take him yourself, Macruadh? 5969 Had n''t you better tell your master what has happened?"
5969Has not God left us the Macruadh? 5969 Have you anything I could carry for you?"
5969Have you been to a ball?
5969Have you done anything to offend her?
5969He knows enough; and if he did not, would you allow him to do as he pleased because he did n''t know better? 5969 How AM I to see you again, Mercy?"
5969How can you say then it is no temptation to you?
5969How can you, when you do not believe what God says about him?
5969How could I, Ian?
5969How could anything beautiful be frightful?
5969How could they be brighter and darker both at once?
5969How could you tell that we might not object to your hearing us?
5969How did you know it was abuse?
5969How did you know we were silent?
5969How do you get up on the walls?
5969How do you know that, Ian?
5969How do you know that? 5969 How do you know that?"
5969How do you make out that it is so different? 5969 How forgive trust?
5969How is he hurt?
5969How is it nonsense?
5969How is our mother?
5969How is that?
5969How is the Macruadh, please?
5969How many people do you know?
5969How many were there, do you think, of them that fell?
5969How may I serve your imperial highness?
5969How then can you worship in the temple of Nature?
5969How will your crops fare, Alister?
5969How? 5969 How?"
5969I come to ask if you would like to buy my land?
5969I suppose you do whatever you please now, ladies?
5969I think-- I hope so.--Don''t you think Christina is much improved, lan?
5969I would say,''My dear sir,''--I may say''My dear sir,''may I not? 5969 Ian Macruadh,"said Christina solemnly, and she looked him in the eyes as she said it,"how can you believe there is a God?
5969Ian, you have n''t given up praying?
5969If he should insist on your having something with me, you will not refuse, will you? 5969 If my brother and I tell you honestly what we thought of you when first we saw you,"said Ian,"will you tell us honestly what you thought of us?"
5969If that be all you mean, why should you make it seem so difficult?
5969If the fox is of no good in the world,said Mercy,"why was he made?"
5969If you speak to me like that,she cried,"my heart will break!--Must you go away?"
5969Is EVERYBODY to blame that is idle?
5969Is anybody with her?
5969Is anything the matter?
5969Is conscience then not a law of our nature? 5969 Is everything out of it?"
5969Is he in danger?
5969Is it law, sir?
5969Is it manners here to prevent a man from speaking his mind at his own table? 5969 Is it my own mother asks me?
5969Is it not each to help the other to do the will of God?
5969Is it not pitiable to be poor?
5969Is it not very dull here in the winter?
5969Is it your part, mother, to make her suffer for the sins of her fathers?
5969Is not that enough, mother?
5969Is she different, mother, from what she was before you had the letter?
5969Is the fox a sacred animal in the south?
5969Is the gentleman a friend of yours, Alister?
5969Is the nest of the old eagle his land? 5969 It means YOU any way, does it not?
5969It was cowardly and unfair,said Christina:"was it not for HIS sake she did it?"
5969It was not this morning, then, before you left your chamber?
5969It was so good of you to bring her!--What is it, Mercy?
5969It was true about him then?
5969It was your deliberate intention then to forget the caution I gave you?
5969Like the devils, mother?
5969Look up,he said,"and tell me what you see.--What is the shape over us?"
5969Lovely because you love me? 5969 Many who would listen to a poor woman because she plagued them?"
5969May we join the ladies?
5969More than to save us?
5969Mother, would you take my God from me? 5969 Mr. Sercombe,"said Ian,"had we not better put off our bout till to- morrow?
5969Must it be a breach with our new neighbours?
5969My name is an historical one too-- but that is not in question.--Do you know your crest ought to be a hairy worm?
5969No,answered Mercy, with a puzzled laugh;"how could it?"
5969Not if you said to him, DON''T!-eh, Annie?
5969Not more than God, mother?
5969Not on Christmas- day? 5969 Now did you really see and hear all that, Rob?"
5969Now what do you think, Ian?
5969On what do you found such a sad conclusion?
5969Only do n''t you see Peregrine means pilgrim? 5969 Other things not being equal,--?"
5969Please, please, what is it?
5969See you not my property lying to the hand of the thief? 5969 Shall I be telling you what I heard them saying to each other this last night of all?"
5969Shall I give you an instance?
5969Shall I tell you where I think I did once pray to God, mother?
5969Should we not have given thanks to find ourselves lifted out of the cold rushing waters, in which we felt our strength slowly sinking?
5969Something went wrong, sons: what was it she said?
5969Suppose he should reply,''Do you think I am going to send my daughter from my house like a beggar? 5969 Tell me then, Miss Mercy, is there anything you love very much?
5969Tell me this, Alister: can a thing be believed that is not true?
5969That would not please, would it?
5969The sins of the fathers are visited on the children!--You will not dispute that?'' 5969 Then what does it mean?"
5969Then why are you in court dress?
5969Then why do you say it?
5969Then why should you fear it will draw me from it? 5969 Then you are not coming?"
5969Then you do not accept the Bible as your guide?
5969Then you do not believe that the justice of God demands the satisfaction of the sinner''s endless punishment?
5969Then you do say your prayers? 5969 Then you mean to go on with it?"
5969Then you really think,she returned,"that God interfered to save us?"
5969Then you will always trust me?
5969There ca n''t surely be a hotel up there?
5969There would be more lives of fish-- would there not?
5969To whom are you talking, Alister?--yourself or a ghost?
5969Was he rude to you, Annie?
5969Was it you that fired the gun?
5969Was there any real person in our Lord''s mind when he told that one about the unjust judge?
5969Well, who has not called?
5969Well,he returned,"what better way of going out of the world is there than by the door of help?
5969Well?
5969Well?
5969What ARE you thinking of, Alister?
5969What I want to ask you,said Ian,"is-- did you ever feel alone?
5969What IS that for, Mercy?
5969What am I to say to him?
5969What are you about?
5969What are you thinking of, Captain Macruadh?
5969What better are we for that? 5969 What brought you home in such haste?"
5969What can I do at home, mother? 5969 What did you want in such a lonely place at that time of the night?"
5969What did you want with the wolves, Ian?
5969What do you call believing in him, then?
5969What do you do it for?
5969What do you mean by LOVING YOUR COUNTRY?
5969What do you mean by his justice then?
5969What do you mean to do?
5969What do you think of THAT, Alister?
5969What do you think that fellow has been here about this morning?
5969What do you think, Ian, of the stories Rob of the Angels tells?
5969What does it matter what a fellow like that thinks of you?
5969What does it matter, mother? 5969 What does it mean?"
5969What does your surname mean?
5969What fellow?
5969What good will the peats be to you, woman,said one of them not unkindly,"when you have no hearth?"
5969What has happened?
5969What have I done to vex you, Mercy?
5969What have you killed?
5969What hour?
5969What if some things are, just that we may get rid of them?
5969What if your love of house and lands prevented you from being sure, when he called you, that it was he?
5969What is it all about?
5969What is it possible you can mean, Alister?
5969What is it?
5969What is saving but taking us out of the dark into the light? 5969 What is that?"
5969What is the matter with you, Mistress Conal?
5969What is the matter, mother dear?
5969What is the story about?
5969What is your coat of arms?
5969What made you think so?
5969What notion could you have had of majesty, if the heavens seemed scarce higher than the earth? 5969 What sort of church had you to go to in St. Petersburg, Ian?"
5969What sorts would you have them take?
5969What was it?
5969What were they like, Rob, dear?
5969What were you doing in Moscow? 5969 What will you do then?"
5969What would be the good of that?
5969What would you like to know about him?
5969What!--not those hideous coffins-- and the bodies dropping out of them-- all crawling, no doubt?
5969What!--not when we found ourselves above the water, safe and well, and more alive than ever? 5969 What''s been the row?"
5969What?
5969What?
5969When are you here?
5969When do you go?
5969When should a Celt, who of all the world loves radiance and colour, put on his gay attire? 5969 When was it?
5969Where are we?
5969Where are you from, Ian?
5969Where are you going then?
5969Where are you going, Macruadh?
5969Where are you going?
5969Where else could they be from?
5969Where is Christina?
5969Where is Christina?
5969Where is the nearest magistrate?
5969Where''s Mercy and the children?
5969Where''s the good of being chief then? 5969 Whether he knows it or not?
5969Which way were you going?
5969Who are you to say which is the stranger''s, and which the Macruadh''s? 5969 Who dared interfere with you, mother?
5969Who goes there?
5969Why did n''t the chief write himself?
5969Why did n''t you come and meet us then?
5969Why did you strike him then?
5969Why did your father call you Peregrine?
5969Why do n''t he then? 5969 Why do n''t you say the IDLE?"
5969Why do they make such a bonfire-- with nobody but themselves to enjoy it? 5969 Why do you call it nonsense?"
5969Why do you say that? 5969 Why do you think so?"
5969Why do you walk so fast?
5969Why have you come up to this lonely place?
5969Why have you never shot him? 5969 Why indeed?"
5969Why not? 5969 Why not?"
5969Why should I have him? 5969 Why should he have liked it?"
5969Why should papa never be told the truth?
5969Why should you mind my saying what is true?
5969Why should you wish nonsense to be true?
5969Why the deuce did n''t you keep the precious monster in a paddock, and let people know him for a tame animal?
5969Why then do you not come to him, Ian?
5969Why were you in such a dangerous place?
5969Why would it be rude? 5969 Why?"
5969Why?
5969Will it be nonsense?
5969Will the law not help us, Macruadh?
5969Will you give your word to leave Annie of the shop alone?
5969Will you go with him, Mercy?
5969Will you introduce me?
5969Will you not come and sleep at our house?
5969Will you tell me something you do believe?
5969Would he like that better?
5969Would you care to vaunt your country at the expense of any other?
5969Would you count it sufficient reason,returned Ian,"that we desired to preserve its testimony to the former status of our family?"
5969Would you feel bound to love a man more because he was a fellow- countryman?
5969Would you have us leave you in this wild place?
5969Would you like me to tell you a story then?
5969Would you mind letting the flag fly, Alister? 5969 Would you not have them take idle ladies as well?"
5969Would you not like to take your breath for a moment?
5969Would you say a woman interfered in the management of her own house? 5969 Would you want to live, if he wanted you to die?"
5969Yes, I remember.--But you do n''t mean you do mason''s work as well as everything else?
5969Yes, yes; I know you all love my father''s son and my uncle''s nephew; but how can it go well with the Macruadh when it goes ill with his clan? 5969 Yes; I know that.--I hope the dear fellow is well?"
5969You believe, then,said Mercy,"we have a right to make the lower animals work?"
5969You did not make any remark?
5969You do not imagine, mother,he said,"it will make any difference as to Mercy?"
5969You fancy your gun protects your bag?
5969You forgive me then, and will not think ill of me?
5969You love your country-- don''t you, Alister?
5969You remember, Ian, what you said to her about giving Nature an opportunity of exerting her influence? 5969 You take the cheque to represent the combined wisdom of the New House?"
5969You think I have no right to keep them captive, and make them work?
5969You too have been tried with terrible thoughts?
5969You will be back by supper- time, Alister, I suppose?
5969You will not mind sharing your bed with me-- will you, my child?
5969You will not tell anybody?
5969You wish you had not given it him?
5969You would n''t mind my sitting in the kitchen till he does?
5969You would n''t set me to study Wordsworth?
5969You would not like to be left in it alone, with none but unfriendly Sasunnachs about you-- not one of your own people to close your eyes?
5969You would not really have me cry over a flower, Mr. Ian? 5969 Your grandmother?"
5969Your mother-- eh?
5969Your nation?
5969''And how do you know it is not?''
5969''Are the red deer, and the hares, and the birds in paradise?''
5969''Are you far from home, gentlemen?''
5969''Can you go and come as you please?''
5969''Do they know it?''
5969''Does not that explain to you,''she said,''how it is that I have slept so long?
5969''How am I to get a light?''
5969''How could I, when I was n''t made?''
5969''How?''
5969''Is this your season for sheep- shearing?''
5969''Not love your own will?''
5969''Then you are the farmer?''
5969''What do you mean?''
5969''What do you mean?''
5969''What should I wake up for?''
5969''Why?''
5969''Would you not like better to go and come of yourselves, as my father and I do?''
5969''You do not mind your little brother asking you questions?''
5969--Say, vagrant, can''st thou grant to me A slice of thy philosophy?
5969--What then, Alister?"
5969--What would you say then?"
5969--what would you say then?"
5969A dead stuffed thing-- how could that be mine at all?
5969Again Ian turned to her: was it possible there were tears in her voice?
5969Ai n''t it rather hard work for them?
5969Alister, would you willingly walk out of the house to follow him up and down for ever?"
5969Am I free to break the rascal''s bones?"
5969Am I losing my senses?
5969And if not his duty, was he called to do it from mere bravado of goodness?
5969And is not that a beautiful house in which a woman''s ear did first listen to the words of love?
5969And what district do you like best?
5969And where would you be carrying me?
5969And who but God, save thy father was indeed the devil, hath sent thee?
5969And why did he turn his face to the wall?
5969And why, although an excellent type of its kind, should I take the trouble to record their conversation?
5969Are you aware, sir, that you are a poacher?"
5969Are you not my Alister''s choice?
5969Are you sure it was good for mistress Conal to have that shilling, Alister?
5969Because thou art rich, is he not also a man?--a man made in the image of the same God?
5969Being, in their development, if not in their nature, commonplace, what should they talk about but clothes or young men?
5969Besides, as elder sister, must she not protect the inexperienced Mercy?
5969But I can not understand: how comes it to look sometimes as if independence must be the greater?
5969But do n''t you think it must be nearly time for people to wake from their first sleep?"
5969But faith in what?"
5969But how come these people THERE?
5969But how do you think it would affect your nature, your being?"
5969But how is my lady, your mother?"
5969But tell me, Alister, do you believe the parables of our Lord?"
5969But to what save the heavenly shall the earthly appeal in its sore need, its widowhood, its orphanage?
5969But was that a sleeping thunder- cloud, or only the shadow of his eyebrows?
5969But when a rather grim, handsome old woman appeared, asking him-- it took the most of her English--"What would you be wanting, sir?"
5969But which of them was she taking a fancy to?
5969But why should that make her doubt?
5969But why should you take it for granted that Alister will think differently from you?"
5969But will you be able to bear poverty, Mercy?"
5969But would that have been honest?
5969But, Donal, how dare you say what you do?
5969But,"said Mercy,"have the fishes not as good a right to their life as the birds?"
5969Can he make his heather white or his ptarmigan black?
5969Can it fare differently from other forces, and be lost?
5969Can one be said to interfere where he is always at work?
5969Can you believe he ever made a woman that she might be dishonoured?--that a man might caress and despise her?"
5969Can you eat that which is not bread?"
5969Can you suppose that Jesus at any time could not thank his Father for sending him into the world?"
5969Certainly something was wrong with her- but what?
5969Could God deserve less than thanks perfect from any one of his creatures?
5969Could I have a better counsellor than Ian?
5969Could he do the thing he thought wrong?"
5969Could it be for revenge?
5969Could this thing be indeed his duty?
5969Could you not open your church- door a little wider to let me in?
5969Did I ever break my word to you, Chrissy?"
5969Did I never tell you what happened to me once in that way?
5969Did Jesus DESERVE punishment?
5969Did ever a flower make you cry yourself?
5969Did he not take self for the root of self in him, when God only is the root of all self?
5969Did he not, when a boy, fight a great golden eagle on its nest, thinking to deliver the lamb it had carried away?
5969Did he not, when a child, all but lose his life in the rescue of an idiot from the swollen burn?
5969Did it ever press itself upon you that there was nobody near-- that if you called nobody would hear?
5969Did she want him to say he did not think them idle?
5969Did the poor fellow eat the stick?
5969Did you ever for a moment inhabit loneliness?
5969Did you ever think of the origin of the word AVARICE?"
5969Did you learn at school to work the rule of three?"
5969Did you perceive that it was safe to buy or sell, to build a house, or lay out a garden, by the rule of three?"
5969Do YOU not know that in your own country you owe a stranger hospitality?"
5969Do n''t you really mean we are going to be saved?"
5969Do you agree?"
5969Do you dare to say your father speculated instead of obeying?"
5969Do you not see I am happy now?
5969Do you really mean it, Macruadh?"
5969Do you remember telling me to read Julius Caesar?"
5969Do you see what I am driving at?
5969Do you tell stories like that from the pulpit?"
5969Do you think we shall find anything to eat?"
5969Does he not share everything with us?"
5969Does he write very wicked books?"
5969Does not the''Bible itself tell us that we are pilgrims and strangers in the world, that here we have no abiding city?
5969Does she distrust her husband and her son together?"
5969Ere she knew, Mercy had said--"And you did n''t find any room with me?"
5969For a moment she kept silence, then said:--"It would be a grand thing to have the whole country- side your own again-- wouldn''t it, Alister?"
5969For if she felt as one who had a claim upon things to go pleasantly with her, had she not put in her claim, and had it acknowledged?
5969For the multitude, or for the one?"
5969For what is madness but two or more wills in one body?
5969For who can know anything except on the supposition of its remaining the same?
5969For who in heaven or on earth has fathomed the marvel betwixt the man and the woman?
5969For who so likely to understand them as he who knew the surface within them as well as the clay- floor of his own hut?
5969God made man and woman to love each other: why should not the waking to love and the waking to truth come together, seeing both were of God?
5969HOW COME THEY THERE?
5969HOW COME THEY THERE?
5969Had he crippled his reach toward men by the narrowness of his conscience toward God?
5969Had he hurt her pride?
5969Had she not surprised him in an act of worship?
5969Had she, alas, been too confident in their greatness?
5969Had the new aspect come forth to answer this glow in her heart, or was the glow in her heart the reflection of this new aspect of the world?
5969Have you a furlough?"
5969Have you had a walk to- day?"
5969Have you lived to all eternity?
5969He had heard the young men were going to leave: were they about to attempt a last assault on the glory of the glen?
5969He paused; Christina grew pale, and said,"Wo n''t you tell me what it was?"
5969He that believeth not in the good man whom he hath seen, how shall he believe in the God whom he hath not seen?
5969How am I to blame?
5969How am I to imagine it, when you go on like that in his hearing?
5969How came he to think to be greater by setting up for himself?
5969How could there be much attraction between Christina and him?
5969How could we have thanked God for deliverance if we were drowned?"
5969How dared you bind Hector of the Stags?"
5969How did they allow him to come near the house in my absence?
5969How did you ever get it?"
5969How do you know what you say?
5969How else can we look for the moderation to follow with responsibilities?
5969How far?"
5969How is it that, not being true, it should ever look so?
5969How many of us actually believe in any support we do not immediately feel?
5969How much have you said to Mercy?"
5969How then am I to trust you?"
5969How was I to know--""But he didn''t-- did he?"
5969How was it that it looked so to him?
5969How was it that, now first in danger, self came less to the front with her than usual?
5969I must answer you truly.--You do not give me room: have you not just told me you never longed for any yourself?"
5969I said to myself,''Is no poor man to climb to heaven any more?''
5969I showed you, did I not, the ship in our coat of arms-- the galley at least, in which, they say, we arrived at the island?"
5969I was only inquiring whether at that point you were nearer to Nature.--Tell me-- were you ever alone?"
5969I''m glad he did n''t: I always feel bad after a row!--Can a conscience ever get too fastidious, Ian?"
5969Ian, you are a man of the world: you will not refuse to pledge me?"
5969If I am I, and you are you, how can it be very different?
5969If I confess that what they say to me sometimes makes me weep, how can I call my feeling for them anything but love?
5969If a man say,''I have not been unjust; I owed the man nothing;''he sides with Death-- says with the typical murderer,''Am I my brother''s keeper?''
5969If a scene or a song play upon the organ of my heart as no other scene or song could, why should I ask at all whether it be beautiful?
5969If he were to put forth his power, might he not drag her down into unbelief?
5969If it be not lost, and have but changed its form, in what shape shall we look for it?
5969If there were, would he allow such a dreadful thing to befall one of his creatures?
5969If these were not equal to admiring her as she deserved, what more remunerative labour than teaching them to do so?
5969If they can not pay their rents, others will; what is it to you if the rents are paid?
5969If thou say,''Am I therefore his keeper?''
5969In that wide outspreading of the lifted arms, was he not worshipping the whole, the Pan?
5969Is Fergus your brother''s name?"
5969Is he not my friend?
5969Is it his thought coming up in me, flung from the hollow darkness of his soul into mine?
5969Is it not a holy house where my father prayed morning and evening, and read the words of grace and comfort?
5969Is it not simply that the righteous are worth troubling?
5969Is it not to me sacred as the cottage at Nazareth to the poor man who lived there with his peasants?
5969Is it of hell direct, or what is there in it of good to begin with?
5969Is it so you acknowledge his presence?"
5969Is my reader seized with that form of divine longing which wonders what lies over the nearest hill?
5969Is that an offence?"
5969Is that the kind of welcome to give a poor new- dead man?
5969Is that what you meant?"
5969Is there anything I can do for you?"
5969Is there not room above, in the fields of the air?
5969Is there not room below with the dead?
5969It is not much, is it?"
5969Macruadh?"
5969Mercy did not think to say"WAS IT?"
5969Might not some figs grow on some thistles?
5969Most people seem to fancy he did, for how else could they forget the dead as they do, and look so little for their resurrection?
5969Must not the lower laws be subject to the higher?
5969Must she be brought to confess that their grand ways had their little heart of pride?
5969Must she not first of all be true?
5969My companion had a bottle of vodki, and--""What is that?"
5969No princedom was worth contrasting with poverty and her farmer- chief, but why should not his love be able to carry her few thousands?
5969Nonne habeam te tristem, Planet of the human system?
5969Not many are allowed to die together!--You do n''t think, do you, sir, that marriages go for nothing in the other world?"
5969Of course you make an exception at times; and if at any time, why not on the merriest day of the year?
5969Oh!--What the devil would you protect her from?"
5969Oh, why did you not tell me before?
5969Only Christina could not be left behind, and how was she to walk in a silk stocking over a road frozen hard as glass?
5969Or is it below the level of our instincts?
5969Ought I not rather to suffer the rise of yet greater obstacles between you and me?"
5969Our Lord was sent first to the lost sheep of the house of Israel:-how would you bear to be told that he loved them more than Africans or Scotsmen?"
5969Our feeling for many of them doubtless owes something to childish associations; but how did they get their hold of our childhood?
5969Paul''s?"
5969Peregrine Palmer,"what IS the world coming to?
5969Peregrine means a pilgrim, you say, but what of that?
5969Sercombe?"
5969Shall I first tell him what the room was like, or first describe the two persons in it?
5969Shall I make up for it by telling you a pretty story?"
5969She did not see much in the tale: how could she?
5969She had said--"Did you not feel the cold very much at St. Petersburg last winter, Ian?"
5969She hoped God would not be strict with him, for might not the very grandeur of his character be rooted in rebellion?
5969She must cry to him aloud, but what should she cry?
5969She started, grew white, stood straight up, grew red as a sunset:--was it-- could it be?--"Is this love?"
5969She was not FOR the truth!--could she then be OF the truth?
5969She was not jealous of Mercy, for was she not beautiful and Mercy plain?
5969She was silent yet a moment, then said,"Your name?"
5969Should she condole with the man because he had to work?
5969Should we be freer, Alister, if we were independent of each other?
5969So long as your theory satisfies you, mother, why should I show you mine?
5969Suppose he should say,''Why did you make a beast of me?''!
5969Takes an ounce of shot in the stomach, and never says''What the devil do you mean by it?''
5969The chief ran: could the new laird be actually unhousing the aged, helpless woman?
5969The chief''s heart was troubled; could it be that she doubted his strength to resist temptation?
5969The question is, do you place your faith for salvation in the sufferings of Christ for you?"
5969The question was, what were the rights of a father?
5969The remark silenced the brothers: where indeed could be use without interest?
5969The rich"pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,"but what would any land become without the poor in it?
5969The thought, IS HE A PANTHEIST?
5969There are among them creatures not altogether differing from us, but differing much from each other,--""As much as you and I?"
5969Thinking of her walk with Ian on Christmas day,--"Would you mind telling me something about your brother?"
5969Throned in the hearts, and influencing the characters of men, was he not in a far nobler position than money could give him?
5969Till a child is awake, how tell his mood?--until a woman is awaked, how tell her nature?
5969Two men, it is, I believe, you employ, Macruadh?"
5969Vengeance is his, and he will know where to give many stripes, and where few.--What would you have us do, laird?"
5969WHY should she love him?
5969Was he awake or dreaming?
5969Was it God wanting her to do something?
5969Was it necessary to tell her?
5969Was it to him I sold the land in London?
5969Was not that Satan''s temptation, Father?
5969Was she in the bad place?
5969Was she so silly as mind being alone?
5969Was the chief, whatever his pride, capable of being ungenerous?
5969Was the dream of his boyhood come true?
5969Was the idea of marrying her into an old and once powerful family like that of the Macruadh, to her husband inconceivable?
5969Was there no possibility of securing one of them?
5969Was there nothing but a lie to save her from bitterest humiliation?
5969We ARE going soon, are we not?"
5969We have horses of our own, and know all about them.--Don''t we, Mercy?"
5969Were those shapes two demons, waiting till she had got over her dying?
5969What ARE you laughing at?
5969What are they?''
5969What becomes of it?
5969What better influences for her, for any woman, than those of unselfish men?
5969What can they be doing it for?
5969What can you mean?"
5969What could he have to do with you, mother?
5969What could it mean?
5969What could she mean?
5969What could the devils mean?
5969What did he do it for?"
5969What did you do it for?"
5969What dreadful thing could they mean?
5969What had he about him to give him in pledge?
5969What harm can it do the bag?
5969What harm have we done?
5969What has my self ever done for me, but lead me wrong?
5969What has turned you against us again?
5969What if he was her friend, and she had not known it because she never spoke to him, never asked him to do anything for her?
5969What if it be drawing away her heart from him who is watching his old child in her turf- hut?
5969What if the devil be grinning at her from, that shilling?"
5969What is it their first duty to do towards each other?"
5969What is it whether we live in this room or another?
5969What is it?"
5969What is there to share if the thing be of no value in itself?
5969What is this passion for subjugation?
5969What ought she to answer?
5969What parish?
5969What part of the parish?
5969What right had the chief, as she called him, to interfere between a landlord and his tenants?
5969What right hast thou in a world where I want room for the red deer, and the big sheep, and the brown cattle?
5969What should she be now, she said to herself, if Alister had not taught her?
5969What then?"
5969What was left for a man to do, when a woman laid her soul before him?
5969What was to be done?
5969What was to be said?
5969What would you answer him?"
5969When did you eat last?"
5969When will you allow me to wait upon you again?"
5969Whence then was this quiet that was upon her?
5969Where could this creature of such awful speed be carrying me?
5969Where have you put Hector of the Stags?"
5969Where have you put him?"
5969Where is your generosity, Ian?"
5969Where then would he have lain if I had not prayed for him?''
