2344Why not?
2344You are sure of it?
2344Your case is not complete, then?
2344Your sister Sarah lives, I think you said, at New Street, Wallington? 2344 And why should these proofs of the deed be sent to Miss Sarah Cushing? 2344 But I have been seated quietly in my chair, and what clues can I have given you?
2344But what end?
2344Can you rise superior to the heat and run down to Croydon with me on the off chance of a case for your annals?"

2344If she knew, why should she call the police in?
2344If the two people were murdered, who but their murderer would have sent this sign of his work to Miss Cushing?

2349How do you know that?
2349How far is it to the house where this singular tragedy occurred?
2349I take it that you have no theory yourself which can in any way account for them?
2349Looking back at the evening which you spent together, does anything stand out in your memory as throwing any possible light upon the tragedy? 2349 Might I ask from whom?"

2349What were your plans?
2349Who let you out?
2349Why a fire?
2349Why half, Holmes?
2349You have nothing to add then, which could assist me?
2349You left them, then, without any premonition of evil?
2349Your people were in their usual spirits?
2349As to yourself, Mr. Tregennis, I take it you were divided in some way from your family, since they lived together and you had rooms apart?"
2349Did they ever show any apprehension of coming danger?"
2349Finally, if he did not throw the substance into the fire at the moment of leaving the room, who did do so?
2349Have you ever heard of this preparation?"
2349Holmes?"
2349I knew that the facts were true, but could I help to make a jury of countrymen believe so fantastic a story?
2349I take it, Watson, that you have no longer a shadow of a doubt as to how these tragedies were produced?"
2349Is that all clear?
2349Now, Dr. Sterndale, how do you justify such conduct, and what were the motives for your actions?
2349Now, when did this occur?
2349Oh, you will see it out, will you?
2349Roundhay?"
2349That is clear, is it not?"
2349There was his crime; what was to be his punishment?
2349Was your baggage aboard the ship?"
2349What DO you mean?"
2349What do you make of that, Watson?"
2349What human contrivance could do that?"
2349What was my baggage or Africa to me when I learned that such a fate had come upon my darling?
2349Where were my proofs?
2349Who knows?
2349Why?
2349You had forgotten?
2349You perceive our difficulties, Watson?"
2349You would not denounce the man?"
2348A savage?
2348Absurdly commonplace, is it not?
2348Ah, what has happened to the Lady Frances? 2348 And who is Miss Marie Devine?"
2348But does this mean that any harm has befallen the Lady Frances?
2348But the boots and the bath?
2348Could they have forged a medical certificate?
2348Did he give a name?
2348Did you see anyone?
2348Is Miss Dobney the only source of information? 2348 Is she gone, Watson?
2348May I ask what your name is?
2348Then may I recommend that you return there and be on hand in case I should want you? 2348 These people do not know you by sight?"
2348To whom, and where?
2348Well, what do you want?
2348Well?
2348What can I do?
2348What do you want with the coffin? 2348 What does it show?"
2348What has happened to her, then?
2348What have you done with her? 2348 What if I am?"
2348What is that?
2348What is this?
2348What the devil do you mean? 2348 What time was the funeral?
2348Where is the Lady Frances Carfax?
2348Where is your warrant?
2348Who is the dead woman?
2348Absurd, is it not?
2348Are you armed?"
2348But what has this man to do with the matter?"
2348But why?
2348But why?"
2348Can you pick any hole in that, Mr. Holmes?
2348Could the good people who were her companions not screen her from his violence or his blackmail?
2348Eight, was it not?"
2348Good heavens, Watson, what has become of any brains that God has given me?
2348Green?"
2348Had he already overtaken her?
2348Holmes?"
2348How would Lausanne do, my dear Watson-- first- class tickets and all expenses paid on a princely scale?"
2348Is she alive or dead?
2348Is there a spark left?
2348Let me see, what were the points?
2348Once again I ask you, where is your warrant?"
2348Otherwise why should not her luggage have been openly labelled for Baden?
2348Surely she had other correspondents?"
2348The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle"But why Turkish?"
2348Was THAT the secret of her continued silence?
2348Well, what remains?
2348What could the coffin mean, and for whom could it be but for her?"
2348What does this mean?
2348What happened next?"
2348What horrible purpose, what deep design, lay behind this long pursuit?
2348What is your business in my house?"
2348Where is that coffin which was brought into your house?"
2348Who has tied them?
2348Why have you pursued her?
2348Why so large a coffin for so small a body?
2348Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home- made article?"
2348Why?
2348Would you go in, Watson?
2347A box by chance?
2347Any silver?
2347But why should he think that this disease which he has contracted is Eastern?
2347But why would you not let me near you, since there was in truth no infection?
2347But why?
2347But your appearance, Holmes-- your ghastly face?
2347By post?
2347Ca n''t you hear me, Holmes?
2347Can you ask, my dear Watson? 2347 For MY sake?"
2347Forget what?
2347Have you any change in your pocket?
2347Have you come from Holmes?
2347How is Mr. Holmes, sir?
2347How many half- crowns?
2347Is he delirious?
2347Is there any other little service that I can do you, my friend?
2347Oh, that''s it-- is it?
2347Oh, you did, did you? 2347 Painful, is it?
2347Shall I demonstrate your own ignorance? 2347 Stand still, will you?"
2347Then you have none in me?
2347Turn up the gas? 2347 Well, did you see him, Watson?"
2347What about Holmes? 2347 What is that?"
2347What is the meaning of this intrusion? 2347 What''s the meaning of this?"
2347What''s this?
2347Who is this person? 2347 Why should Mr. Homes think that I could help him in his trouble?"
2347Why?
2347You are not angry?
2347You are proud of your brains, Holmes, are you not? 2347 Ah, the shadows begin to fall, do they? 2347 And do n''t budge, whatever happens-- whatever happens, do you hear? 2347 Are you content to wait?
2347But what do you think of yourself spreading reports about me like that, and then crawling to me for help the moment you are in trouble?
2347Can you remember any unusual incident in your life just about the time your symptoms began?"
2347Can you think of no other way you could have got this thing?"
2347Can you understand what I say?"
2347Could I fancy that your astute judgment would pass a dying man who, however weak, had no rise of pulse or temperature?
2347Dear me, Staples, how often have I said that I am not to be disturbed in my hours of study?"
2347Did anything come by post?"
2347Did he ask what ailed me?"
2347Did n''t I send you word that I would see you to- morrow morning?"
2347Do I hear the step of a friend?"
2347Do you imagine it would prevent me from doing my duty to so old a friend?"
2347Do you imagine that I have no respect for your medical talents?
2347Do you know what is the matter with you?"
2347Do you remember a box-- an ivory box?
2347Do you suppose that such a consideration weighs with me of an instant?
2347Have you the cab below?
2347How is he?"
2347How long has he been ill?"
2347I am somewhat exhausted; I wonder how a battery feels when it pours electricity into a non- conductor?
2347If I failed to do so, who would bring my Smith within my grasp?
2347Is that not enough?"
2347Poor devil, how could I be angry when I saw him lying in such a plight before me?
2347Shall the world, then, be overrun by oysters?
2347Smith?"
2347Think yourself smart, do n''t you?
2347What do you know of the black Formosa corruption?"
2347What do you know, pray, of Tapanuli fever?
2347What does he want?
2347What sort of a game is that-- eh?"
2347What was I saying, Watson?"
2347Who asked you to cross my path?
2347Why did you not call in a doctor?"
2347You opened it-- do you remember?"
2347You recognize the symptoms?"
2347You wo n''t be offended, Watson?
2343All you desire is a plain statement, is it not?
2343And the message?
2343And the white cock?
2343And you think you have evidence that he murdered his late master?
2343Anything more?
2343Are you Mr. John Scott Eccles, of Popham House, Lee?
2343But how come you into this matter, Miss Burnet?
2343But how? 2343 But tell me, Baynes, who is this man Henderson?"
2343But the crime?
2343But what is our hypothesis?
2343But what possible connection?
2343But what was he to witness?
2343But why do you follow me? 2343 But why should one servant return?"
2343Dead? 2343 Have you it there?"
2343How can an English lady join in such a murderous affair?
2343How did it run? 2343 How do you define the word''grotesque''?"
2343Man or woman?
2343May I ask, in the first place, why you came to me at all?
2343May I ask, sir, what you did then?
2343Oh, you did, did you?
2343Robbed?
2343That what had come again?
2343The object of the mulatto cook''s return?
2343The torn bird, the pail of blood, the charred bones, all the mystery of that weird kitchen?
2343Then why did they fly?
2343Then why did you arrest the mulatto?
2343Well, Watson,he asked, turning suddenly upon me,"what do you make of it?"
2343Well, what is the next step?
2343What became of him?
2343What do you make of it?
2343What do you suggest?
2343What was at the window, and when?
2343What''s the matter, Walters?
2343Will you see him?
2343You do n''t mean that Baynes has got him?
2343You have a clue?
2343You have a theory then?
2343Your nerve, Walters? 2343 An accident?
2343Any other point, Watson?"
2343Baynes?"
2343Baynes?"
2343But how about the disappearance of the others?"
2343But how are you affected?"
2343But, in the second place, why did you not come at once?"
2343By the way, Mr. Baynes, did you find anything remarkable besides this note in your examination of the house?"
2343Can you ask me, then, whether I am ready to look into any new problem, however trivial it may prove?
2343Could we see her, then and try to use her?
2343Did his companions follow him and kill him?
2343Did you chance to observe what became of it?"
2343Did you say he was dead?"
2343Gregson?"
2343Has he any one outstanding quality?
2343Has she perhaps met her end on the same night as the friend whom she had summoned?
2343Holmes?"
2343Holmes?"
2343How do I come to be mixed up with the case?"
2343I suppose the whole thing is not a vision and a touch of nerves?"
2343Is she alive?
2343Is there any point which is not quite clear to you?"
2343May I consult you?
2343Now, my dear Watson, is it beyond the limits of human ingenuity to furnish an explanation which would cover both of these big facts?
2343Now, what did he want with Eccles?
2343Now, where was the other end?
2343Or is she merely a prisoner?
2343That would explain his persistence, would it not?"
2343That would fully explain the facts, would it not?"
2343The oval seal is undoubtedly a plain sleeve- link-- what else is of such a shape?
2343Was there any clue, may I ask, as to the exact hour that the man met his death?"
2343What could Eccles supply?
2343What do you make of these bones?"
2343What do you want?"
2343What does the law of England care for the rivers of blood shed years ago in San Pedro, or for the shipload of treasure which this man has stolen?
2343What, then, might she be expected to do if she heard of his death?
2343Who then but Miss Burnet, the governess?
2343Who wrote the note?
2343Who, then, is most likely to have taken his life?
2343Why did they fly?
2343Why, then, was he picked out from all the other people whom Garcia met as particularly suited to his purpose?
2343You do n''t mean-- you do n''t mean that I am suspected?"
2343You were after Henderson?"
2345A holder?
2345And has had no letters or callers?
2345And he was well dressed?
2345And you connect this attack with your lodger?
2345But for what possible end?
2345But his meals?
2345But surely you or the girl enter his room of a morning?
2345But what is at the root of it?
2345But where, then, is Gennaro?
2345But who used him roughly?
2345But why? 2345 Did he observe the appearance of these men-- did he hear them talk?"
2345Did you observe them closely?
2345He gave no name?
2345How''s this, Watson?
2345May I introduce you to Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
2345Nothing wonderful in that, surely?
2345Of caution?
2345Oh, he has a European fame, has he? 2345 Oh, he went out the first night, did he?"
2345PERICOLO-- pericolo-- eh, what''s that, Watson? 2345 Prints it?"
2345Shall I go for the police?
2345Signals?
2345The hero of the Long Island cave mystery?
2345Was there a fellow about thirty, black- bearded, dark, of middle size?
2345Well, apart from this cigarette- end, was it not suggestive that the only time the lodger went out was immediately after his taking the rooms? 2345 Well, can you give me no further indications?"
2345Well, it figures out that way, does it not? 2345 Well?"
2345What were the terms?
2345What, indeed? 2345 When does he lunch?"
2345Who is he?
2345Why do you think so?
2345Why should you go further in it? 2345 Why should you think so?"
2345Why, whatever are you doing?
2345''Danger,''is n''t it?
2345But I''m at the end of my patience, and when it comes to knocking my old man about--""Knocking Mr. Warren about?"
2345But beware of what?
2345Do you say nothing has come out of that room-- absolutely nothing?"
2345Gorgiano of the Red Circle?"
2345Holmes?"
2345Holmes?"
2345How could you call?"
2345How is any news or any message to reach him from without?
2345How many did you make it?
2345How often will he repeat it?
2345How''s that, Watson?
2345How, and by whom?
2345I suppose when you doctored you found yourself studying cases without thought of a fee?"
2345Is it not so?"
2345It sounds plausible, does it not?
2345Seclusion I can understand; but why print?
2345Suggestive, Watson, is it not?"
2345That ca n''t be all, Watson?
2345The general sequence of events is pretty clear, is it not?
2345The gentleman was bearded and moustached, you say?"
2345Then, again, why such laconic messages?"
2345Warren?"
2345Well, Mrs. Warren, what now?"
2345What about his luggage?"
2345What age would he be?"
2345What brings you here?"
2345What can it matter to him that his landlady should have a word of his writing?
2345What do you make of it, Watson?"
2345What has he done?
2345What have you to gain from it?"
2345What is at the root of it all?
2345What is he hiding for?
2345What woman could ever be worthy of such a man?"
2345What would it suggest, Watson?"
2345What''s that?
2345Where is Gennaro?
2345Why not write?
2345Why should such a message stop in such a way?
2345You are police, are you not?
2345You do n''t object to tobacco, I take it?
2345You say that the man came ten days ago and paid you for a fortnight''s board and lodging?"
2345You understand, madam, that your husband will be arrested and tried for the death of the man who lies before us?
2345what news do you bring us this morning?"
2346And that ring went with him to London?
2346And your brother?
2346And your key never left your possession?
2346Anything else?
2346At what hour was the office closed on Monday?
2346But I suppose either Sir James, or you, or West has that technical knowledge?
2346But how?
2346But surely, Holmes, character goes for something? 2346 But the facts, Miss Westbury?"
2346But the three missing drawings are the most important?
2346But you have recovered them?
2346Cadogan West? 2346 Can you not make reparation?
2346Can you suggest any possible motive for taking the papers to London except to sell them?
2346Could it not have been dropped from a bridge?
2346Could we not get a warrant and legalize it?
2346Did he give you no address?
2346Did you close it?
2346Do you mean to say that anyone holding these three papers, and without the seven others, could construct a Bruce- Partington submarine?
2346Does he not explain?
2346For England, home and beauty-- eh, Watson? 2346 For long?"
2346Has the fact been verified?
2346Have the carriages been examined for any sign of violence?
2346Have you had something to eat? 2346 Have you seen Pierrot''s advertisement to- day?"
2346How could he be placed there?
2346How did he die?
2346How?
2346I presume they were of value?
2346I suppose there are no great number of points on a system such as this?
2346Is there no watchman to the building?
2346No record of a door being found open?
2346No signs of any mental excitement? 2346 Nothing of interest in the paper, Watson?"
2346Oh, that was it, was it?
2346Only Sir James Walter and you had those keys?
2346Perhaps you would care to step in, sir, and see his brother, Colonel Valentine?
2346Remarkable, is it not? 2346 Surely you have heard of it?
2346Was Sir James a man who was orderly in his habits?
2346Was he in any want of money?
2346Was it only recently that he made such remarks?
2346What can we hope to do?
2346What do you think of it, Watson?
2346What happened, then?
2346What is it, Mr. Holmes? 2346 What is the next step?"
2346What is this?
2346What of it? 2346 What reparation can I make?"
2346What''s this, Watson? 2346 What?
2346When?
2346Where is Oberstein with the papers?
2346Where were the plans?
2346Who is he?
2346Who locked up the plans that night?
2346Who was the other man with a key?
2346Why do you not solve it yourself, Mycroft? 2346 Why had he no ticket?"
2346Why not? 2346 Why not?"
2346Without a word?
2346You are sure of his guilt, then?
2346You can not throw any new light upon the affair?
2346And you, Lestrade, could you favour us with your company for an hour or two?
2346Another one?"
2346But what do you think of it, Mycroft?"
2346But what use will you make of it?"
2346By the way, do you know what Mycroft is?"
2346Could it have been an official superior who took the papers?
2346Eh?
2346Have you a clue?"
2346Have you heard of the death of the chief?"
2346Have you read up the case?"
2346Have you the tools?"
2346Holmes?"
2346I understand that there was no sign of robbery?"
2346If the latter, may it be taken as some sign of self- reproach for duty neglected?
2346In the first place, why did he take them?"
2346Is it a coincidence that it is found at the very point where the train pitches and sways as it comes round on the points?
2346Is not that the place where an object upon the roof might be expected to fall off?
2346Is that not so?"
2346Now, suppose that a train halted under such a window, would there be any difficulty in laying a body upon the roof?"
2346Or did he drop it in the carriage?
2346That seems final, does it not?"
2346That would account for everything, would it not?"
2346Then, again, where is the price of his treason?
2346Then, again, why should he leave the girl in the street and dart away to commit a felony?"
2346Unique, perfectly unique, and yet why not?
2346Was it taken from him in order to conceal the station from which he came?
2346What do you mean?"
2346What had become of the other three?
2346What in the world can he have to do with it?
2346What is the use of our speculating in this way when the original plans were actually found on West?"
2346What is there for us to do?"
2346What next?"
2346What on earth can it mean?
2346What upheaval can possibly have derailed him?"
2346What were the technical papers?"
2346What''s this?
2346Who is Cadogan West, and what is he to Mycroft?"
2346Why did Cadogan West take the papers, where are the missing ones, how did he die, how came his body where it was found, how can the evil be set right?
2346Why did he not do so?
2346Would it be possible for me to inspect the train which contained the passenger who heard the thud of a fall in the fog?"
2346what is this?
16097''And finally, how did you know I was a rich American?'' 16097 ''And the dents which my son made cutting his teeth?''
16097''But the number of the machine?'' 16097 ''Why did you do that?''
16097''Wo n''t you have a little Scotch?'' 16097 A caitiff?"
16097All of which interesting tale proves what?
16097Also vot vill be dher gost, if any?
16097And granting the truth of the assertion, what does it prove?
16097And the crew, what did they say?
16097And what was-- ah-- Bassanio''s connection with this affair?
16097And where else than to Paris would any one in search of pleasure go?
16097And why, may I ask,put in Hamlet, as they drew near to Charon''s office--"why does that case remind you of business as it is conducted to- day?"
16097And, meanwhile, what shall be done with Kidd?
16097Anything new?
16097Are not we English as much your descendants?
16097Are we going all right?
16097As I was saying, an advertisement could be placed in Boswell''s paper as follows:''Are you giving a Function? 16097 But how can we?"
16097But how do you know he smoked it?
16097But my beloved Tuileries?
16097But on what terms?
16097But suppose he wants an advance payment?
16097But what shall we do with''em?
16097But what, then, shall we do?
16097But will they consent?
16097But you know that you did own every share of it, and that you have n''t sold any, do n''t you?
16097But, Captain Holmes, what do you deduce from your observation of the wake of the House- boat? 16097 But, my dear Mrs. Noah,"expostulated Cleopatra,"what will become of the ship?"
16097But,cried Hamlet,"may they not now be in peril?
16097But-- who is to steer?
16097Ca n''t we put off the sequel until a later issue? 16097 Did he do that?"
16097Did n''t you hear a shuffling noise up on deck, Portia?
16097Do you mean to say that you can tell a criminal by his ears?
16097Do you mean to tell us,demanded Shakespeare,"that the unsmoked stub of a cigar will suggest the story of him who smoked it to your mind?"
16097Do you refer to me?
16097Do you then believe that he has put runners on it, and is engaged in the pleasurable pastime of taking the ladies tobogganing down the Alps?
16097Excuse me, Socrates,put in Lindley Murray,"but, ah-- pray speak in Greek hereafter, will you, please?
16097For me?
16097From what quarter-- to larboard?
16097Handsome, too, do n''t you think?
16097How can I do any more than I have done? 16097 How can the gentleman proceed, with all this conversation going on in the rear?"
16097How can we get away from it?
16097How did he know what you were going to say?
16097How do you know all this?
16097How do you know that?
16097How do you know that?
16097How many gores has it?
16097How much?
16097I have quite forgotten your date; were you a success in the year one, or when?
16097I wonder how a Watteau back like that would go on my blue alpaca?
16097I''m the one they celebrate, so what''s the odds? 16097 Is it a bomb?"
16097Is n''t he a daisy?
16097Is n''t that extraordinary? 16097 Is that honest?"
16097It ca n''t be Monte Cristo, can it?
16097It''s a lucky thing for us that Noah was n''t a Frenchman, eh?
16097May I ask how you knew all that?
16097My husband propose anything that would contribute to my pleasure or intellectual advancement? 16097 Nothing but Styx water and vitriol, Sundays?
16097Now, Captain Kidd, who first proposed this plan?
16097Probabilities-- isn''t that the word? 16097 Shall you say anything clever during dinner, sir?
16097Sir Walter agreed to that, did he?
16097That Watteau is n''t bad, either, is it, now?
16097The Ark did, why not this? 16097 The making of a Connecticut Havana cigar?"
16097The nature of the signal?
16097The squeak?
16097The whole situation is rather contrary to etiquette, do n''t you think?
16097Then,observed Sir Walter, with a sigh of disappointment,"we must change our course and sail for Paris?"
16097They killed you?
16097Treachery? 16097 Watch for what?"
16097We are not in any danger, are we?
16097Well, in the name of Atlas, what island is it, then?
16097Well, may I ask,put in Abeuchapeta,"just what it is that is worrying you?
16097Well, was n''t that what you wanted?
16097Well, what do you suggest?
16097Well? 16097 Were n''t there?"
16097What are French soldiers made of, that they ca n''t stand the wet-- unshrunk linen or flannel?
16097What can you be thinking of? 16097 What did you live on during that year?"
16097What did you see?
16097What is the matter with all you learned lubbers that I have brought along on this trip? 16097 What is the matter?"
16097What is the use of them?
16097What on earth for?
16097What''s that?
16097What''s the hurry?
16097What''s the use of going into hysterics? 16097 What''s the use of steering until we can see where to steer to?"
16097What? 16097 What?"
16097What?
16097Whatever induced you to take''em along with you?

16097You had dreamed its solution?

16097Are we to sit here and do nothing, allowing that fiend to kidnap our wives with impunity?"
16097Are you a demon?''
16097Ca n''t we do it now?"
16097Ca n''t you see the difference?"

16097Do you know, I''ve never discovered whether this boat is a steamboat or a sailing- vessel?
16097Do you suppose I''ve brought you to whistle up favorable winds?
16097Do you want Talent?
16097Do you wish to wager a small bottle upon it?''
16097Does anybody know?"
16097For a week?"
16097Have I your permission to speak?"
16097Have you a model of the House- boat within reach?"
16097How did you know that I had lost my watch?''
16097How much?"
16097How on earth do you know that that bubble comes from the wake of the House- boat?"

16097In Paris?

16097Nobody knows what island that is?

16097Shall we go below?"
16097That''s the way of it, eh?"
16097The excitement attending this diversion having subsided, Solomon asked:"What was the incident of the lost tiara?"

16097We must overtake this vessel, and the question to be answered is-- where?"

3776Ames, the butler--"What about him? 3776 Ames,"he said, when the butler entered,"where is Mr. Cecil Barker now?"
3776An arrest?
3776And blew out the candle?
3776And he never mentioned any names?
3776And how do you consider that all this bears upon the general case?
3776And how do you propose to prove all this?
3776And how?
3776And it arrived very speedily?
3776And then you were together five years in California, so that this business dates back not less than eleven years at the least?
3776And what is it we are watching for?
3776And where may that be?
3776And who bought the ironworks of Manson and of Shuman and of Van Deher and of Atwood, which have all been given up of late?
3776And who bought the mines of Todman and of Lee that came into the market in the same way last year?
3776And who the devil is he?
3776And who told you?
3776And why no arrest? 3776 And why the missing ring?"
3776And you accept the rule of the Bodymaster for the time being under all circumstances?
3776And you refused it?
3776And you were told to see me?
3776And you, Mr. White Mason?
3776Any reward this time?
3776Anything fresh, Sergeant Wilson?
3776Are n''t you?
3776Are the brethren satisfied?
3776Are you a member of the union?
3776Are you of stout heart?
3776Are you quick of action?
3776At what o''clock was it raised?
3776Ay, what''s the game?
3776Baldwin-- he speaks like that, does he?
3776But for what motive?
3776But if a man had a danger hanging over him, and knew what it was, do n''t you think he would turn to the police for protection?
3776But this man-- your friend-- has he any other person that he would be likely to write to?
3776But what can he do?
3776But what do you allow that we should do about it?
3776But what is the use of a cipher message without the cipher?
3776But why''Douglas''and''Birlstone''?
3776But why?
3776But, I say, are n''t we wasting precious time? 3776 By its light you saw that some terrible incident had occurred?"
3776Ca n''t keep out of it, can you? 3776 Can a husband ever carry about a secret all his life and a woman who loves him have no suspicion of it?
3776Can you bear pain?
3776Can you give us any idea how long your husband had been downstairs before you heard the shot?
3776Can you remember, Ames, what Mr. Barker had on his feet last night when you joined him in the study?
3776Could this have any connection with the crime?
3776D''ye think I''m ashamed of my own name?
3776D''you know what that means?
3776Dear me, Watson, is it possible that you have not penetrated the fact that the case hangs upon the missing dumb- bell? 3776 Did I ask you for your advice, or did you think me such a sucker that I could n''t move without it?
3776Did n''t I tell you he shot Jim Carnaway?
3776Did n''t he ask you why you did n''t bring him the papers?
3776Did n''t you? 3776 Did you come to see him?
3776Did you ever know him to cut himself in shaving before?
3776Did you ever trouble to see who called for them?
3776Did you know Mrs. Douglas before her marriage?
3776Did you not? 3776 Did you see no one?"
3776Do n''t we?
3776Do you reckon he knows much?
3776Do you tell me that we have to sit down under this? 3776 Do you tell me,"said the sergeant,"that the wedding ring was below the other?"
3776Does anyone else know of this?
3776Does anyone know him by sight?
3776Get what?
3776Hate you, Jack? 3776 Have you ever heard where his first wife came from?"
3776Have you ever read of Jonathan Wild?
3776Have you found anything out yet?
3776Have you heard him speak of anything which occurred in America and might bring some danger upon him?
3776Have you heard nothing of doings hereabouts?
3776He had no rival?
3776He was a bachelor, you say?
3776He was murdered?
3776How came this man to have anything to do with it?
3776How can you prove that?
3776How could I have heard of him when you know that I am a stranger in these parts?
3776How deep is it?
3776How did you know it, then?
3776How did you know that?
3776How do I know that they are lying? 3776 How do you know he was n''t a newspaper man?"
3776How do you know this?
3776How in thunder came you to know anything about it?
3776How long have you allowed us to waste ourselves upon a search that you knew to be an absurd one?
3776How long is this to last?
3776How long were you with Douglas in California?
3776How many will you take?
3776How''s that, then?
3776How''s the arm?
3776I do n''t think we have met before, Councillor?
3776I have told you, have I not, that you are too late? 3776 I''d like to know,"said McMurdo,"how you ever came to learn that I had spoken with Morris at all?"
3776In trouble?
3776Is he here? 3776 Is he on his own or is he entirely in with them?"
3776Is it a promise?
3776Is it by the police? 3776 Is it not?
3776Is it suicide, or is it murder-- that''s our first question, gentlemen, is it not? 3776 Is it you that would dispute it?"
3776Is it?
3776Is n''t it?
3776Is n''t the place full of police and detectives and what harm did they ever do us?
3776Is she?
3776It''s your first, is it not? 3776 John McMurdo,"said the voice,"are you already a member of the Ancient Order of Freemen?"
3776Make a move?
3776May I smoke as I talk? 3776 Maybe Miss Ettie has told you how it is with us?"
3776Might I ask,asked Holmes,"what the words were which attracted your attention?"
3776Mr. Treasurer,he asked,"may I ask who has bought the property of this man that we have driven out of the district?"
3776My name''s Jack McMurdo-- see? 3776 No tracks or marks?"
3776Nor against me?
3776Not here?
3776Of the lodge?
3776Oh, it''s Jack, is it?
3776Oh, it''s like that, is it?
3776Oh, that was it?
3776Oh, that''s your ruling, is it?
3776Oh, you think so, do you? 3776 Or Herman Strauss?"
3776So you are good enough to pass my appearance?
3776So,said he with a furious glance at McMurdo,"you got here first, did you?
3776Someone else?
3776Still on the track of the elusive bicyclist?
3776Sun in your eyes and his face in the shadow?
3776Suppose I had been first, Ettie, would I have had a chance?
3776Sure, what is murder? 3776 Surely you asked him what he meant by the Valley of Fear?"
3776That was six years ago?
3776The police?
3776Then how could any murderer have got away? 3776 Then how did you get at Mr. Douglas and the fact that he had been horribly murdered?"
3776Then how do you know about his rooms?
3776Then the truth is too bad to tell?
3776Then what do you suggest that we do?
3776Then why did you leave?
3776Then why has he not indicated the book?
3776There is nothing there, no sign that anyone has landed-- but why should he leave any sign?
3776They both claim the head money given by the lodge for the shooting of old man Crabbe over at Stylestown, and who''s to say which fired the bullet?
3776They have to-- else how can we get him?
3776This professor that I''ve heard you mention?
3776Was he a politician? 3776 Was the door open?"
3776Was there anything curious about his life in California?
3776We have heard from Mr. Cecil Barker that you did not actually see-- that you were never in the room where the tragedy occurred?
3776Well, Holmes,I murmured,"have you found anything out?"
3776Well, did you think of such a thing when you joined the Freeman''s society at Chicago?
3776Well, have you anything more?
3776Well, then,she cried,"why will you not show me the letter?"
3776Well, what are we to do now?
3776Well, what happened?
3776Well, what have you to say?
3776Well, what if I am?
3776Well, what is it?
3776Well?
3776Well?
3776Well?
3776Were these men Americans-- Californians?
3776What Bodymaster?
3776What about Archie Swindon?
3776What about Birlstone?
3776What about the shotgun?
3776What affairs?
3776What am I accused of?
3776What are we here for at all? 3776 What are you after, anyhow?"
3776What are you loitering there for?
3776What did you tell him, then?
3776What do you mean by''appears''? 3776 What else could I do if you trusted me?
3776What for?
3776What has the man done?
3776What has this to do with the matter you are investigating?
3776What have we to fear, anyhow? 3776 What impression has my evidence made upon you?"
3776What in thunder has that to do with you? 3776 What is it here?"
3776What is it, then?
3776What is the latest news of the ruffian?
3776What is your evidence for this, Brother McMurdo?
3776What o''clock were those curtains drawn?
3776What papers?
3776What sort of a man is he?
3776What sort of fool''s talk is this? 3776 What sort of men?"
3776What the devil d''you mean by that?
3776What the devil is the meaning of all this?
3776What the hell is it to you who are my friends?
3776What think you of our ways, Brother?
3776What were they?
3776What were you doing?
3776What would you do?
3776What''s V. V.? 3776 What''s come over you, Jack?"
3776What''s that?
3776What''s this mark?
3776What''s this?
3776What''s wrong with the order? 3776 What, does he hate the police too?"
3776When was that?
3776When you entered the room there was only a candle lighted on the table, was there not?
3776When?
3776When?
3776Where are the slippers now?
3776Where is he, then? 3776 Where''s your warrant?"
3776Where?
3776Who are they?
3776Who are you to interfere-- you that are new to the lodge? 3776 Who are you, I''d like to know, to break into a house in this fashion and molest honest, law- abiding men?"
3776Who are you?
3776Who is this?
3776Who is your district ruler?
3776Who then is Porlock?
3776Who then?
3776Who will volunteer for the job?
3776Why did he shoot him?
3776Why did he write at all? 3776 Why did you not put your name to the note?"
3776Why did you shoot him?
3776Why do you say''in this instance''?
3776Why not go right down now and fix him?
3776Why not?
3776Why not?
3776Why should we not leave together?
3776Why the coal country?
3776Why were you so scared of me? 3776 Why wo n''t you tell me?"
3776Will you ruin your life and my own for the sake of this promise? 3776 You are aware,"said he,"that the dead man''s wedding ring has been taken from his finger?"
3776You at once rang for help?
3776You do n''t associate his past with any particular part of America?
3776You found something compromising?
3776You have already sworn the oath of secrecy and fidelity, and you are aware that the punishment for any breach of it is instant and inevitable death?
3776You have no reason to think it was criminal?
3776You have not had a cable, have you?
3776You mean that he has a great income and that he must earn it in an illegal fashion?
3776You mean that someone waded across the moat?
3776You mean that you think there was no accident?
3776You met Mr. Douglas in a boarding house in London, did you not, and became engaged to him there? 3776 You never heard any speculation as to what it meant?"
3776You sat in front of his writing desk?
3776You think it will come to that?
3776You think then, definitely, that Barker and Mrs. Douglas are guilty of the murder?
3776You think there is someone behind him?
3776You would n''t kill this man?
3776You would n''t squeal on a fellow?
3776You would not inform?
3776You would throw over one that has stood by you this five years in favour of a man that you never saw before in your life? 3776 You''ll be the new captain?"
3776You''ll do it, then?
3776You''ve come to that already, have you?
3776Your work?
3776--''Are we never to get out of the Valley of Fear?''
377629, Chicago?"
3776A gang of murderers, are they not?"
3776Ai n''t that so, or am I wrong?"
3776Am I to lose my life''s chance and all my heart''s desire for someone else?
3776Ames, I understand that you have often seen this very unusual mark-- a branded triangle inside a circle-- upon Mr. Douglas''s forearm?"
3776And ca n''t I speak alone with a gentleman for five minutes but you must butt in on us?"
3776And how in the world has he got away without it?
3776And if I was scared when a hand fell on me, ca n''t you understand it when it might have been the hand of a detective?"
3776Are there not fifty murders to prove it?
3776Are we not free folks in a free country?
3776Are you ready to be a cold- blooded murderer also, or can we do anything to stop it?"
3776Are you ready to be tested?"
3776As to the lodge, was n''t it the order of the Bodymaster that the man was not to be killed-- and what are you doing but killing him?"
3776Baldwin?"
3776Barker?"
3776Besides, if I wanted to, how could I do it?
3776Besides, what is there to be afraid of?
3776But I would ask you how did this man know that you lived here, or how to get into your house, or where to hide to get you?"
3776But did she tell you who it vas?"
3776But his description-- what of that?"
3776But how do you propose to lay your hands on the so- called Porlock?"
3776But if you are a Freeman, Jack, why should you not go down and make a friend of Boss McGinty?
3776But what do you gather from it?"
3776But what in the name of all that is wonderful made the fellow leave it behind?
3776But what is the truth?
3776But what''s the game, Mr. Holmes-- what''s the game?"
3776But why this gun, of all weapons?"
3776But why-- what''s amiss with the names?"
3776But you''ve heard of Pinkerton''s?"
3776But, hullo, who''s the visitor?"
3776By the way, you have that big umbrella of yours, have you not?"
3776Can we for our present practical needs get any further than that?"
3776Can we have the butler in for a moment?
3776Can you make anything of the inscription, Ames?"
3776Chapter 5 The People Of the Drama"Have you seen all you want of the study?"
3776Could n''t I earn ten times as much in my own bedroom with four hours''work?"
3776Could n''t we start out and scour the country before the fellow gets away?"
3776Could you take me away?"
3776Did Morris say nothing to you against the lodge?"
3776Did Mr. Douglas entirely approve your friendship with his wife?"
3776Did he seem to scent a trap?"
3776Did n''t I say to you that it would end in murder?"
3776Did n''t you say that you have sent him money?"
3776Did you get anything else?"
3776Did you happen to observe a picture over the professor''s head?"
3776Did you observe that in life?"
3776Do they go up too?"
3776Do you back out?"
3776Do you carry the names of all the gun makers in the world in your memory?"
3776Do you say that no one can ever get level with this king- devil?"
3776Do you suppose that Ted Baldwin has ever forgiven us?
3776Do you think it could not stretch from here to Philadelphia or New York?"
3776Do you think there is no weaker brother among all our lodges that could not be bought?
3776Does that make any impression on your mind?"
3776Does that strike you as very probable, Watson?"
3776Does that suggest anything to you?
3776Had this secret society to do with politics?"
3776Had you noticed anything unusual in his conduct, yesterday, Ames?"
3776Have I not said enough to show the men and their methods?
3776Have n''t we tried that before now, and what ever came of it?"
3776Have we reached the limits of what reason can supply?"
3776Have you any friends?"
3776Have you any of the sort in the house?"
3776Have you heard anything of the lodge in these parts?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776Holmes?"
3776How am I to know that you are not a married man-- you, a stranger, that nobody knows?"
3776How could I give it up when it would be to break my oath and to desert my comrades?
3776How could he swear there was no such gun in the house?"
3776How could he?"
3776How could they be so sure that the sound of it would not bring someone on to them?
3776How did he acquire wealth?
3776How did you hear of him?
3776How long are we to endure it?
3776How would he know this Pinkerton man?"
3776I guess you are new to this part, young man?"
3776I reckon the lodge will learn to be proud of you.... Well, what the hell do you want?
3776I say to you, Ted Baldwin, what is the offense, sir?"
3776I take it for granted that since dawn every constable within forty miles has been looking out for a wet stranger?"
3776I''ve heard that there is no harm in being a Freeman anywhere but here; so why should I think the worse of you for that?
3776If it were not that he fears you, what do you suppose our chances would be?
3776If you could get a bag of blasting powder at the front door with a slow match to it--""What''s the man done?"
3776If you love me, and I you, who will dare to come between?"
3776If you want me, you''ll find me at Jacob Shafter''s on Sheridan Street, Vermissa; so I''m not hiding from you, am I?
3776In God''s name what shall I do?"
3776Is Birdy Edwards here?"
3776Is he reliable?"
3776Is it for such results as this that our great country welcomes to its bosom the alien who flies from the despotisms of Europe?
3776Is it forgery, coining, burglary-- where does the money come from?"
3776Is it not?
3776Is n''t it common enough in these parts?"
3776Is the water always turbid?"
3776Is there a man or a voman in this valley vat does not know it?"
3776Is this a man to traduce?
3776It came like that, did it?"
3776It is, I admit, mere imagination; but how often is imagination the mother of truth?
3776Mac?"
3776Mac?"
3776McMurdo?"
3776Now your mind is easy once again, is it not?"
3776Or is it by the law courts and the judge?
3776Perhaps you hate me too, now that I''ve told you as much?"
3776Pray what more could I do?
3776Ready?
3776Say, can you make those dollars yet?"
3776See here, Morris, will you leave this thing in my hands?"
3776See?"
3776So far we are within the bounds of possibility, are we not?"
3776Someone in a novel, was he not?
3776Standback?"
3776Supposing that a matter were brought confidentially to his knowledge, is it absolutely necessary that he should pass it on to the detectives?"
3776Sure, have we not tried it often enough in the law courts?
3776Tell me, Friend MacDonald, this pleasing and touching interview was, I suppose, in the professor''s study?"
3776That does not seem a very likely start, does it?"
3776That''s good impartial evidence, ai n''t it?
3776The blunt accusation, the brutal tap upon the shoulder-- what can one make of such a denouement?
3776The cipher message begins with a large 534, does it not?
3776The question I''m asking you is what shall we say to him?"
3776This man Pinto helped me to shove the queer--""To do what?"
3776This was what McMurdo read: How are the Scowrers getting on in your parts?
3776Vat about Milman and Van Shorst, and the Nicholson family, and old Mr. Hyam, and little Billy James, and the others?
3776Was I right?"
3776Was it crime last night when a man old enough to be your father was beaten till the blood dripped from his white hairs?
3776Was it my imagination that there was an undertone of fear rather than of hope in the question?
3776Was it to your wife that you were writing?
3776Was that crime-- or what else would you call it?"
3776Was there any robbery?"
3776Was there any romance, anything secret or mysterious, about the wedding?"
3776Was there nothing to identify this man?"
3776Watson?"
3776We do seem to make a little progress, do we not?
3776Well, what is it now?"
3776What I ask you now is how do I stand by the English law?"
3776What about him?
3776What are you all afraid of?
3776What are you but the paid tool of the capitalists, hired by them to club or shoot your poorer fellow citizen?"
3776What are you doing here?"
3776What can he know of our affairs?"
3776What chance have you against a dozen of them, with Boss McGinty and all the power of the lodge behind them?"
3776What could I do?
3776What d''you think of me?"
3776What do you make of that, Watson?"
3776What do you think he pays him?"
3776What do you think of pure reason and its fruit?
3776What does he mean by allowing his retreat to be cut off like that?
3776What does he mean by using a shotgun when silence was his one chance of escape?
3776What does the Mahratta government do?
3776What has happened since then to give you a completely new idea of the case?"
3776What have I ever said or done that you should think I would be after standing back from an order of the Bodymaster of my own lodge?
3776What in the whole wide world can be the connection between this dead painting man and the affair at Birlstone?"
3776What indications have we as to this book?"
3776What is the meaning of this?"
3776What is the result?
3776What made you come here?"
3776What other indications have we as to the nature of this large book?
3776What possible connection could she have with an American assassin which would cause her to shelter him?"
3776What then is left?"
3776What was he to do next?
3776What weapon would he choose?
3776What were they doing, and why did they not instantly give the alarm?
3776What were you speaking to Brother Morris about on Miller Hill this morning?"
3776What''s this under the side table?"
3776What''s this, Mr. Holmes?
3776Where are you bound for now?"
3776Where are you staying?"
3776Where in the name of all that is wonderful did you get those names?"
3776Where is he?
3776Where shall we know him?"
3776Where were you made?"
3776Where would be that thrill if I had been as definite as a timetable?
3776Where''s the other?"
3776Who are the Scowrers?"
3776Who are you that you should take it on yourself to ask such things?"
3776Who is he, and where shall I find him?"
3776Who is the fellow?
3776Why a cut- off shotgun of all weapons-- and an American one at that?
3776Why are they lying, and what is the truth which they are trying so hard to conceal?
3776Why did he not simply drop it?"
3776Why did you come to me?"
3776Why did you leave Chicago?"
3776Why did your guilty couple do all this, Watson?"
3776Why else should you hold it from me?
3776Why have n''t you seen Boss McGinty yet?"
3776Why should I be surprised?
3776Why should I pull her into it?
3776Why should he?
3776Why should these pages be stained by further crimes?
3776Why should we not get him?"
3776Will that content you?"
3776Will you come?"
3776Will you fix it, Brother Baldwin?"
3776With that?"
3776Wood?"
3776Would the Bodymaster see to it that suitable arrangements be made for their lodgings and comfort until the time for action should arrive?
3776Would there be any objection, Mr. White Mason, to our going down to the house at once?
3776Would you be asking me to break my oath?"
3776Would you mind coming over and speaking to Mrs. Douglas for one instant?"
3776Would you trust me?"
3776You do n''t suppose that the lodge would let a man go free with all its secrets?"
3776You followed him next year, did you not?"
3776You have heard me speak of Professor Moriarty?"
3776You have known your husband only in England, have you not?"
3776You''ve seen how he''s been opening his mouth against us again?"
3776have you never heard of the boss?"
3776is that so?"
3070A beard?
3070A large scale map, I presume?
3070A lawyer, is he not, gray- headed, and walks with a limp?
3070A man''s or a woman''s?
3070A spy?
3070About what?
3070Ah, Wilson, I see you have not forgotten the little case in which I had the good fortune to help you?
3070Am I right?
3070And found nothing?
3070And have no doubt searched all the huts until you came to this one?
3070And have you made your will, Sir Henry?
3070And he made you swear to say nothing about your appointment with Sir Charles?
3070And how do you propose to do so?
3070And how much was the residue?
3070And how would you describe Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
3070And the dog?
3070And the hound?
3070And the one beyond, which shines so brightly?
3070And the woman''s name?
3070And then after you had sent the letter he dissuaded you from keeping the appointment?
3070And then?
3070And this Cavalier opposite to me-- the one with the black velvet and the lace?
3070And what is your theory of this poor fellow''s death?
3070And what marks did you see by the wicket- gate?
3070And when she is undeceived?
3070And when?
3070And where did he say that he lived?
3070And why were you holding a candle to the window?
3070And why were you so pressing that Sir Charles should destroy your letter?
3070And yet we manage to make ourselves fairly happy, do we not, Beryl?
3070And you said nothing?
3070And you say you can penetrate it?
3070And you, a trained man of science, believe it to be supernatural?
3070Any orders, sir?
3070Anything good?
3070Are you armed, Lestrade?
3070Are you armed?
3070Are you coming up?
3070Are you? 3070 But Dr. Mortimer was no doubt already stopping there?"
3070But I understand that it is something more modern and practical upon which you wish to consult me?
3070But are you sure of this, Holmes? 3070 But how about his food?"
3070But how about the case?
3070But how about the chance of his holding someone up before he goes?
3070But how?
3070But how?
3070But if you saw him so seldom and wrote so seldom, how did he know enough about your affairs to be able to help you, as you say that he has done?
3070But it had not approached the body?
3070But not actually raining?
3070But what do you intend to do?
3070But what is it that alarms you?
3070But what is it?
3070But what is the danger?
3070But why a rendezvous in the garden instead of a visit to the house?
3070But why at such an hour?
3070But why keep me in the dark?
3070But why should you wish to go into so horrible a place?
3070But why this elaborate deception?
3070But your family have been with us for several generations, have they not? 3070 But, hark, what is that?"
3070But, surely, you said that it was a new brown boot?
3070But, tell me, Watson, what do you make of our visitor''s stick? 3070 By the way, Dr. Mortimer, who is this Barrymore, anyhow?"
3070By the way, I do n''t suppose you appreciate that we have been mourning over you as having broken your neck?
3070Can you not tell when a warning is for your own good? 3070 Can you see anything?"
3070Can you tell me anything about him? 3070 Caught cold, Watson?"
3070Certainly, but how?
3070Colour of his eyes?
3070Did Barrymore profit at all by Sir Charles''s will?
3070Did any see it after?
3070Did he ever strike you as being crazy-- this brother of hers?
3070Did he give any explanation of his conduct?
3070Did he say anything more?
3070Did he say so?
3070Did it do you any good?
3070Did n''t he get the telegram? 3070 Did the boy deliver it into your own hands?"
3070Did you answer it yourself?
3070Did you correspond with Sir Charles?
3070Did you correspond with him?
3070Did you ever write to Sir Charles asking him to meet you?
3070Did you see him then?
3070Did you, for example, happen to hear someone, a woman I think, sobbing in the night?
3070Do n''t you think that is an admirable sentiment?
3070Do none suggest themselves? 3070 Do you know how he died?"
3070Do you know the names?
3070Do you mean danger from this family fiend or do you mean danger from human beings?
3070Do you mean that your wife and you wish to leave?
3070Do you not find it interesting?
3070Do you see anything there?
3070Do you see that Black Tor over yonder? 3070 Do you think a woman could go alone at that hour to a bachelor''s house?"
3070Footprints?
3070For example?
3070From Charing Cross Hospital?
3070Going out, Watson?
3070Had Sir Charles reached this?
3070Had Sir Charles received any other letters in the same writing?
3070Has Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
3070Has anything escaped me?
3070Has he escaped?
3070Have you any better explanation?
3070Have you any objection to my looking at your register?
3070Have you been on the moor already?
3070Have you ever met him?
3070Have you made anything out of the tangle? 3070 Have you seen him?"
3070Have you the dates of those letters?
3070He being the heir?
3070How can he see the guiding wands to- night? 3070 How can you do that?"
3070How can you say that, sir?
3070How can you say that?
3070How did you know that?
3070How did you know what I was doing? 3070 How do you explain it?"
3070How do you know of him then?
3070How do you know that?
3070How does she live?
3070How high was it?
3070How in the world can you say that?
3070How long will it take you to make up your mind?
3070How on earth did you do that?
3070How so?
3070How was it that no one else saw it?
3070How was that?
3070I guess we are aiding and abetting a felony, Watson? 3070 I hope your visit has cast some light upon those occurrences which have puzzled us?"
3070I presume that the reason he gave was that you would receive help from Sir Charles for the legal expenses connected with your divorce?
3070I presume, Doctor, that you could tell the skull of a negro from that of an Esquimau?
3070I say, Watson,said the baronet,"what would Holmes say to this?
3070I trust that there is nothing of consequence which I have overlooked?
3070I trust that they do not mean that I have done anything to forfeit your confidence?
3070I understand that the yew hedge is penetrated at one point by a gate?
3070If this woman is in truth his wife, where does Mrs. Laura Lyons come in?
3070If you did n''t see him, how do you know he was in the loft?
3070If you have never worn them, why did you put them out to be cleaned?
3070In spirit?
3070In your opinion there is a diabolical agency which makes Dartmoor an unsafe abode for a Baskerville-- that is your opinion?
3070Into his own hands?
3070Is he safe?
3070Is it hard to know?
3070Is it like anyone you know?
3070Is it not the very picture of an old family home? 3070 Is it ready?"
3070Is that convenient to you, Watson?
3070Is that serious?
3070Is there any other opening?
3070Is there anything between the hedges and the walk?
3070Is there no such thing as a gentleman?
3070Is this true, Barrymore?
3070It is he, then, who is our enemy-- it is he who dogged us in London?
3070It seems natural, does it not? 3070 It suggests-- halloa, my dear fellow, what on earth is the matter?"
3070May I ask if he is going to honour us with a visit himself?
3070Might I trouble you for it-- the inside page, please, with the leading articles?
3070My God, what''s that, Watson?
3070My dear Watson, clumsy as I have been, you surely do not seriously imagine that I neglected to get the number? 3070 My dear fellow, how can you possibly be so sure of that?"
3070My footprint, I presume?
3070No doubt,said I;"but how do you know that he is anywhere upon the moor?"
3070No,said Holmes;"did you?"
3070Not on the very day of Sir Charles''s death?
3070Nothing more that you can remember?
3070Now, tell me, Dr. Mortimer-- and this is important-- the marks which you saw were on the path and not on the grass?
3070Of course you know the legend of the fiend dog which haunts the family?
3070Oh, John, John, have I brought you to this? 3070 Oh, he mentioned his name, did he?
3070Oh, you return to- morrow?
3070On the second floor?
3070Or more astonished, eh?
3070Queer spot to choose, is it not?
3070Quite in the back row, eh? 3070 Running from what?"
3070Shall I run on and stop them?
3070Shall we move farther back upon higher ground?
3070Shall we turn back?
3070So that to reach the Yew Alley one either has to come down it from the house or else to enter it by the moor- gate?
3070Some poaching case, no doubt?
3070Still looking for your boot?
3070Surely you are mistaken about his trade?
3070Surely you will stay and have some dinner?
3070The devil''s agents may be of flesh and blood, may they not? 3070 Then I understand that on your arrival in London yesterday you went out at once and bought a pair of boots?"
3070Then anyone could have got over it?
3070Then had you not better consult him?
3070Then he was certainly there?
3070Then how is it that you did not go?
3070Then, how can I assist you?
3070There are many sheep- dogs on the moor?
3070There is no other claimant, I presume?
3070To London?
3070To see Mrs. Laura Lyons?
3070To walk across the moor?
3070Was ever such bad luck and such bad management, too? 3070 Was it here?"
3070We are to wait here?
3070Well, Watson, what do you make of it?
3070Well, Watson, what do you think of this new light?
3070Well, then, to- night?
3070Well, what happened when you did get there?
3070Well, you see the hills beyond? 3070 Well,"said I,"has this precious relation of yours departed, or is he still lurking out yonder?"
3070Well?
3070Well?
3070Well?
3070Were they on the same side of the path as the moor- gate?
3070What are they? 3070 What are you doing here, Barrymore?"
3070What are your questions?
3070What business?
3070What can I tell you about him?
3070What can we do?
3070What did he do?
3070What do they call this sound?
3070What do you make of it yourself?
3070What do you make of it, Dr. Mortimer? 3070 What do you make of it?"
3070What do you mean, then?
3070What do you say, Watson?
3070What do you think about it, Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
3070What do you think is the cause of so strange a sound?
3070What does it suggest?
3070What effect do you think it will have upon his plans now that he knows you are here?
3070What have I withheld?
3070What is it? 3070 What is it?"
3070What is that?
3070What is the Alley like?
3070What is the next move?
3070What is the object of these questions?
3070What is this, Perkins?
3070What new conditions?
3070What shall we do now?
3070What sort of facts?
3070What sort of night was it?'' 3070 What then?"
3070What then?
3070What was it you wanted to ask, sir?
3070What was it? 3070 What was that?"
3070What was the use?
3070What, are you coming, Watson?
3070When did he say this?
3070When do you desire to go?
3070Where can she be, then, since there is no light in any other room except the kitchen?
3070Where is it, Watson?
3070Where is it?
3070Who delivered it?
3070Who is he, then?
3070Who is she?
3070Who is the gentleman with the telescope?
3070Who knew that you were going to the Northumberland Hotel?
3070Who was the man?
3070Who-- who''s this?
3070Who?
3070Whom would you recommend, then?
3070Why about Sir Henry in particular?
3070Why in thunder should anyone follow or watch me?
3070Why should I go back?
3070Why should I not go?
3070Why should I stay here alone?
3070Why should he not go to the home of his fathers?
3070Why should we not arrest him at once?
3070Why should we not seize him at once?
3070Why so?
3070Why then, did you not write to Sir Charles and explain this?
3070Why was it bad?
3070Why, Dr. Watson, that''s not you, is it? 3070 Why, who do you think this is?"
3070With a wood round it?
3070Would it not be well in the first place to get rid of this Barrymore couple?
3070Would you wish dinner to be served at once, sir?
3070You do n''t mean that you know where he is?
3070You do n''t mean to say that you came after me in spite of all?
3070You do n''t mind my driving straight home, Sir Henry?
3070You have always kept together, I presume?
3070You have arms, I suppose?
3070You have lost one of your boots?
3070You have not observed anyone follow or watch you?
3070You knew him, did you not?
3070You know it well, then?
3070You know that there is another man then?
3070You know the story of the hound?
3070You mean that the thing is supernatural?
3070You saw this?
3070You say it was large?
3070You say, Watson, that the lady is not there?
3070You think that he was waiting for someone?
3070You think, then, that some dog pursued Sir Charles, and that he died of fright in consequence?
3070''Do We Progress?''
3070''Is all ready for Sir Henry?''
3070A sheep- dog of the moor?
3070Am I right?"
3070And Stapleton, where is he?
3070And anyone else?"
3070And from what?
3070And have I not cause for such a feeling?
3070And how did you localize me?
3070And then you heard nothing until you read the reports of the death in the paper?"
3070And why did she weep so bitterly?
3070And why-- why?
3070And you saw no more of him?"
3070Are you strong enough to stand?"
3070Are you sure of what you say?
3070Barrymore?"
3070Beneath it were signed the initials L. L.""Have you got that slip?"
3070Besides, besides--""Why do you hesitate?"
3070But I want to know why the word''moor''should have been written?"
3070But how could I know-- how could l know-- that he would risk his life alone upon the moor in the face of all my warnings?"
3070But how did you know me?"
3070But how in the name of wonder did you come here, and what have you been doing?
3070But supposing, for argument''s sake, that we had him arrested to- night, what on earth the better off should we be for that?
3070But the marks?"
3070But where could such a hound lie concealed, where did it get its food, where did it come from, how was it that no one saw it by day?
3070But you had your suspicions?"
3070But you were very young when you last saw Baskerville Hall, were you not?"
3070But you will come on, will you not, and see Merripit House?"
3070But, dear me, what''s this?
3070By the way"--his eyes darted again from my face to Holmes''s--"did you hear anything else besides a cry?"
3070By whom?"
3070Can you tell the position of the rooms?
3070Come now, Watson, did n''t you think yourself that it was the cry of a hound?
3070Could he-- could he be the stranger whom I saw upon the tor?
3070Could this be my stern, self- contained friend?
3070Could you swear to that man''s face within the cab?"
3070Did I think that because I was a baronet I could do what I liked?
3070Did he find out where he hid, or what he was doing?"
3070Did no one examine?"
3070Did the composer fear an interruption-- and from whom?"
3070Did the pale, watchful Barrymore know more than he cared to say?
3070Did they know that they would receive this?"
3070Did you ever hear a bittern booming?"
3070Did you get your other boot?"
3070Did you see him come out on us?"
3070Do I understand you to say that you have yourself had some remarkable experience since you arrived in London?"
3070Do my eyes deceive me, or is there at the present moment something moving upon that hill- side?"
3070Do n''t you see now whence these words have been taken?"
3070Do n''t you think, Watson, that you are away from your charge rather long?
3070Do you observe anything remarkable about that?"
3070Do you see?"
3070Do you think that I should intrude if I were to call this afternoon and make the acquaintance of Sir Henry?"
3070Even the best of us----""You thought it might injure his reputation?"
3070Good heavens, are you mad?"
3070Halloa, Watson, what''s this?
3070Has he remained in London, or has he followed us down here?
3070Has it never struck you that the way to catch that man was to find out where he got his food, and so trace it to him?"
3070Have you among your neighbours or acquaintances on Dartmoor any man with a black, full beard?"
3070Have you heard the De Reszkes?
3070Have you met Mr. James Desmond?"
3070Have you turned the case over in your mind?"
3070Have you yesterday''s Times, Watson?"
3070He passes along the same path at the same hour, and to whom should he be going except to the convict?"
3070He?"
3070Her initials were L. L.""How do you know this, Barrymore?"
3070Holmes?"
3070Holmes?"
3070How about that hour of darkness in which the power of evil is exalted?"
3070How could I settle the point forever?
3070How could he claim it without causing suspicion and inquiry?"
3070How could he have permitted Sir Henry to fall in love with her?"
3070How dared I offer her attentions which were distasteful to her?
3070How did he die?"
3070How did he know?"
3070How did you do it?"
3070How do you know that the woman is his wife?"
3070How else could it be known so quickly that it was the Northumberland Hotel which he had chosen?
3070How far do you think it is?"
3070How is the owner going to restore the glories of the Baskervilles if he has not money enough to keep up the property?
3070I suppose that by Saturday all might be ready?"
3070I trust that Sir Henry is none the worse for his journey?"
3070If I could only use it to detach his wife----""His wife?"
3070If you hold these views, why have you come to consult me at all?
3070If you meant no more than this when you first spoke to me, why should you not wish your brother to overhear what you said?
3070If your position is innocent, why did you in the first instance deny having written to Sir Charles upon that date?"
3070Is he safe?"
3070Is it not obvious?"
3070Is it possible that I am really in danger from so dark a cause?
3070Is it, then, stretching our inference too far to say that the presentation was on the occasion of the change?"
3070Is n''t that the direction of the great Grimpen Mire?"
3070Is that a place where a shepherd would be likely to take his station?
3070Is there anything that would prevent me from making a good husband to a woman that I loved?"
3070James, you delivered that telegram to Mr. Barrymore at the Hall last week, did you not?"
3070L.?"
3070May I inquire who has the honour to be the first?"
3070Might I trouble you then to be ready in half an hour, and we can stop at Marcini''s for a little dinner on the way?"
3070My God, can there be some truth in all these stories?
3070Never been there?
3070Now, Mr. Holmes, what would you advise me to do with him?"
3070Now, you rascal, do you deny that it is a signal?
3070Old Frankland the crank?"
3070On what occasion would it be most probable that such a presentation would be made?
3070Or a spectral hound, black, silent, and monstrous?
3070Shall I have a cab called?"
3070Sheep- pens?"
3070Sir Henry has, I suppose, no superstitious fears in the matter?"
3070Sir Henry?
3070So his name was Sherlock Holmes, was it?"
3070So you actually thought that I was the criminal?"
3070So you have been to Coombe Tracey, have you?"
3070Somebody hurt?
3070Supposing that anything happened to our young friend here-- you will forgive the unpleasant hypothesis!--who would inherit the estate?"
3070The one is whether any crime has been committed at all; the second is, what is the crime and how was it committed?
3070The question now is, what shall we do with this poor wretch''s body?
3070The sending of this letter was suggested to you by Stapleton?"
3070Then, again, whom was he waiting for that night, and why was he waiting for him in the Yew Alley rather than in his own house?"
3070There is one very singular thing, however: How came Selden, in the darkness, to know that the hound was on his trail?"
3070They are all family portraits, I presume?"
3070This article, you say, contains all the public facts?"
3070Was he also out in that deluged-- the unseen watcher, the man of darkness?
3070Was he our malignant enemy, or was he by chance our guardian angel?
3070Was he the agent of others or had he some sinister design of his own?
3070Was it possible that it was Barrymore after all whom we had seen in the cab in Regent Street?
3070Was it possible that this stolidly respectable person was of the same blood as one of the most notorious criminals in the country?
3070Was that his work or was it possibly the doing of someone who was bent upon counteracting his schemes?
3070Was the wicket- gate closed?"
3070Was there a human agency in the matter?
3070Watson?"
3070Well, do you see the low hill beyond with the thornbush upon it?
3070Well, have you got it?
3070What about the convict on the moor?"
3070What are those latticed windows at this end?"
3070What became of the hound when its master was in London?"
3070What did Selden say?
3070What do they say of it?"
3070What do you advise that we do now?"
3070What do you make of that?"
3070What do you make of those?"
3070What do you propose to do?"
3070What do you think of that, Watson?"
3070What do you think of that?
3070What do you think we should do?"
3070What does it mean?
3070What does it mean?"
3070What does it mean?"
3070What does man want more?
3070What has he against me?
3070What interest could he have in persecuting the Baskerville family?
3070What is he after?"
3070What is the meaning of it all?
3070What is the nearest telegraph- office?
3070What is the use of troubling Mr. Holmes with trifles of this kind?"
3070What signs are there of a hound?
3070What then?
3070What was I doing with the lady?
3070What was he, then?
3070What was the name that he mentioned?"
3070What were you doing at that window?"
3070What would you recommend?"
3070What''s he waiting for?
3070What''s the game now?"
3070What''s the matter with me, anyhow?
3070What''s this paper?
3070What''s this?"
3070What, in heaven''s name, was it?"
3070When he dragged himself here one night, weary and starving, with the warders hard at his heels, what could we do?
3070When was it inhabited?"
3070When would his friends unite to give him a pledge of their good will?
3070When you pass Bradley''s, would you ask him to send up a pound of the strongest shag tobacco?
3070Where are the marks of its fangs?
3070Where do you think that I have been?"
3070Where had you engaged a seat?"
3070Where have you dropped from?"
3070Where is Barrymore?"
3070Where is that friend or enemy now?
3070Where is this brute of a hound which drove him to his death?
3070Where, then, could he have been?
3070Who is your confederate out yonder, and what is this conspiracy that is going on?"
3070Why had he done this?
3070Why should I deny it?
3070Why should I preserve faith with him who never kept any with me?
3070Why should I try to shield him from the consequences of his own wicked acts?
3070Why should a man walk on tiptoe down the alley?"
3070Why should he wish to live at the place of danger?"
3070Why should she fight against every admission until it was forced from her?
3070Why should she have been so reticent at the time of the tragedy?
3070Why should she turn so pale?
3070Why should you mind what they call it?"
3070Will you come upstairs, Dr. Watson, and inspect my collection of Lepidoptera?
3070Will you remember to give them that message?"
3070Winner of the Jackson prize for Comparative Pathology, with essay entitled''Is Disease a Reversion?''
3070Would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure?
3070Would you mind getting that orchid for me among the mares- tails yonder?
3070You acknowledge now that you wrote it?"
3070You and I know that he died of sheer fright, and we know also what frightened him; but how are we to get twelve stolid jurymen to know it?
3070You are aware, perhaps, that a close intimacy exists between this lady and the man Stapleton?"
3070You could easily recognize it, could you not?"
3070You did not know, Dr. Mortimer, that you were followed this morning from my house?"
3070You do n''t believe it, do you, Watson?"
3070You do n''t believe such nonsense as that?"
3070You have been inside the house, have you not, Watson?
3070You have lost one of your boots, you say?"
3070You have nothing else to report to us before we go into this matter?"
3070You must allow that there is nothing supernatural about this, at any rate?"
3070You notice those bright green spots scattered thickly over it?"
3070You saw me, perhaps, on the night of the convict hunt, when I was so imprudent as to allow the moon to rise behind me?"
3070You say that before Sir Charles Baskerville''s death several people saw this apparition upon the moor?"
3070You say that your fare told you that he was a detective?"
3070You understand me?
3070You understand?"
3070Your marriage, you say?"
3070cried Dr. Mortimer,"what is this?"
3070does stand for''Charing Cross Hospital,''what further inferences may we draw?"
3070is?"
3070you do n''t mean to say----?"
