31189What was it?"
31189What was it?"
31189What would you do?"
31189What''s the good of a fight over a game of cards?
31189What''s the good of a fight over a game of cards?
31189What''s the matter, anyhow?
31189What''s to prevent them from eating?"
31189What''s wrong, kid?"
31189What-- no?
31189When they halted at the door and Trescott was climbing out, Williams cried,"Will she stand, docteh?"
31189Where they going to move to?"
31189Where was she going?
31189Where, now?"
31189Who''d ever think?
31189Who?"
31189Why do n''t you throw''i m out in the snow?"
31189Why, when he said that Johnnie was cheatin''and acted like such a jackass?
31189With an appearance of suddenly disclosing his real mental perturbation, the doctor said:"Well, what would you do?
31189Would he forgive her?
31189Would you be satisfied with six dollars a week?"
31189Would you kill him?"
31189XXII"Have you heard the news?"
31189You have n''t done a stroke of work since Johnson began to board with you-- everybody knows that-- and so what are you kicking about?"
31189You wo n''t drink with me, you little dude?
31189_ Now_--do you understand?"
31189cried the boy,"you''re an Indian, are you?
31189he cried, as he tumbled the deck violently down upon the board"--say, what are you gittin''at, hey?"
31189he exclaimed,"have you gone daffy?"
31189he said,"did n''t you hear me calling you?"
31189they paused to scoff,"afraid of your new mittens, ai n''t you?"
43584A big city is grand, is n''t it?
43584A detective?
43584About somebody''s Christmas present? 43584 And did you enjoy your dinner?"
43584And does everybody call you by both names?
43584And were the other watches stolen the same day?
43584And were there any transients here at that time?
43584And what became of the girls?
43584And what good will your career be to you then?
43584And what is its name?
43584And you believed her?
43584And you could go home?
43584Anything gone?
43584Are the Weinbergers still here?
43584Are there any empty houses she might have rented?
43584Are you a guest at the hotel, miss?
43584Are you responsible for this?
43584Are you sure you''re all right?
43584Because we''re such pretty girls?
43584But I do n''t have to write my name in my books the minute I get them, do I?
43584But how did you get out of that house?
43584But how did you happen to have the key, Margaret?
43584But if Mrs. Ferguson really is a crook, why should she write all her plans to a prisoner, when she would know that the letter would be censored?
43584But she feels encouraged since you found two of the thieves, does n''t she?
43584But what are you going to do?
43584But what finally led you to suspect her?
43584But where is she?
43584But why should she hide? 43584 But why?"
43584But with that change at the Junction, we''d have to wait all night, should n''t we, Daddy?
43584But you did n''t lose anything, did you?
43584But you really do n''t think you''ll do dangerous things again, do you, Mary Lou?
43584Can I have your help?
43584Can I help you?
43584Can I see you tonight?
43584Can we go now, Constable?
43584Can we have a doctor immediately?
43584Can you climb that hill, Max?
43584Can you get me a photographer?
43584Can you imagine me-- one lone fellow-- in that dining room full of dames? 43584 Can you take me to the constable?
43584Could I see the manager?
43584Could n''t we break in?
43584Could n''t you arrest her?
43584Could we take a mechanic to fix my car, too?
43584Could you describe her?
43584Did he have a gun?
43584Did n''t Margaret say anything in her letter about how she was getting on or what she was doing?
43584Did n''t Mrs. Ferguson tell you?
43584Did n''t she send her address?
43584Did n''t you write to her?
43584Did she give you a salary?
43584Did she hear from her daughter?
43584Did that man open the door for you?
43584Did you advertise?
43584Did you fellows really get it?
43584Did you get your salary-- your twenty- five bucks?
43584Did you girls ever meet a girl named Margaret Detweiler, from Riverside? 43584 Did you have a good time, dear?"
43584Did you have a good time?
43584Did you search for the burglar in her room too?
43584Did you see anybody?
43584Did you talk to Miss Stoddard?
43584Do n''t you want to think it over another day? 43584 Do you feel nervous after last night?
43584Do you mean to say that you did steal, Margaret?
43584Do you still have the envelope?
43584Do you think the snow''s packed hard enough?
43584Do you think there''s any chance of your getting home for Christmas?
43584Do you think you''ll be back tonight?
43584Do you want the names of the maids?
43584Does she know that you suspect her daughter, Mary Louise?
43584Does she play?
43584Even her own mother''s watch?
43584Had n''t we better go back to my house, where it''s warm, till your car is fixed, Miss Gay?
43584Has anything been stolen since their arrival?
43584Has anything happened since I left?
43584Have you ever stayed at Stoddard House before?
43584Have you seen the girls-- Pauline Brooks and Mary Green?
43584Here? 43584 How about Miss Stoddard?"
43584How about my money?
43584How are you? 43584 How are you?"
43584How can I tell them what has happened? 43584 How did her mother take it?"
43584How did they get the money-- it was five hundred dollars, was n''t it?--so soon?
43584How did you know I''d be so glad to see you?
43584How did you know, Mary Lou?
43584How did your entertainment go?
43584How many watches?
43584How much do you charge?
43584How old a woman is she?
43584How''s the head?
43584I suppose Mrs. Hilliard told you?
43584I suppose it will be all right, then,agreed Mrs. Hilliard reluctantly...."What are your immediate plans, dear?"
43584I understand you want to ask me about Miss Detweiler?
43584I----"You been in the house now?
43584If Hortense Weinberger really is married,said Mary Louise,"do n''t you suppose her mother will hear about it tomorrow?
43584In the hotel? 43584 Is Center Square far away?"
43584Is Miss Brooks here?
43584Is Mr. Hayden here?
43584Is n''t that where you got that blow on your head?
43584Is she any relation of the founder?
43584Is that what you came here for, Max Miller?
43584Is there a Mrs. Ferguson staying here?
43584Is this the stamp album?
43584Is your aunt''s place at Center Square?
43584It''s all right now, is n''t it, Daddy?
43584Mary Lou,he asked,"you''re not doing any more detective stuff, are you?
43584Mary Louise, could you do an errand for me? 43584 Max and Norman?"
43584May I go to the hotel with you?
43584May I offer my congratulations?
43584May I sit with you, Miss Gay?
43584Meet me here in an hour?
43584Men are helpful sometimes, are n''t they?
43584Mrs. Ferguson-- is she in jail too?
43584Must we use handcuffs?
43584Never at Stoddard House?
43584Now the great question is: would you want to give up your holiday for this purpose? 43584 Now, can you tell me just what was stolen?"
43584Now, what do you want a photographer for?
43584Now, what will your plans be for tomorrow?
43584Of course, it will be late, but I''ll give you your other present first, so you would n''t mind that, would you, Mary Lou?
43584Oh, Mary Lou, did you take them?
43584Oh, how can I ever thank you enough?
43584Or have you an appointment?
43584Ready, Daddy?
43584Recently?
43584Sha n''t I ask the Walder girls to take you along? 43584 Shall I?"
43584She never came back here to Stoddard House?
43584She owes you money?
43584She was n''t home all summer, was she, Mother?
43584Somebody had''planted''it there?
43584Suppose I go there about midnight, Miss Gay? 43584 The boys there yet?"
43584This it?
43584To collect damages?
43584Want to see the gang''s picture?
43584Was a Mrs. Brooks staying here at the time?
43584Was she sent to prison?
43584Well, we''ll see.... Now, do n''t you think you had better go to bed?
43584Were you asleep, sir?
43584Were you out at Center Square last Sunday, Margaret?
43584What are you going to do now?
43584What are you going to do with all that money, Sis?
43584What can I do for you today?
43584What could I do with her if I did find her?
43584What did you do?
43584What do you say we dance?
43584What do you say, Hayden?
43584What do you say, Mary Lou? 43584 What guy?"
43584What happened?
43584What in thunder are you doing that for?
43584What is her name?
43584What is the trouble, my girl?
43584What name, please?
43584What store was she working in? 43584 What time is it now, I wonder?"
43584What time is it, anyway?
43584What time is it?
43584What were theirs like?
43584What would your plan be, Miss Gay?
43584What''s that?
43584When did you first miss the money?
43584When would I start?
43584Where are we, Max?
43584Where did they go?
43584Where do you expect to look for the leader of this gang?
43584Where is the hotel, Daddy?
43584Where was the letter postmarked?
43584Where were you, Ida, when I sent for you?
43584Where''s that?
43584Where? 43584 Where?"
43584Who do you think did all the stealing, Miss Stoddard?
43584Who is it?
43584Who is your daughter?
43584Who was he, Margaret?
43584Who-- are-- you?
43584Whom do I thank for this?
43584Why could n''t you plan to go with her?
43584Why the rush?
43584Will you bring your knitting or your magazine to my room till you''re ready to go to bed?
43584Will you stay here with me while I eat my dinner, Mary Louise?
43584Will you suggest something youthful?
43584Will you take charge of it till I can bring my father up to get it? 43584 Would n''t you ever tell on me?"
43584Would you be good enough to take care of Mary Louise-- introduce her to any of the other guests who come in-- Miss Brooks? 43584 Would you be kind enough to ring him up and ask him to come here while I eat my lunch in the dining room?
43584Would you have last year''s register?
43584You do n''t eat at your house before six- thirty, do you?
43584You do n''t want to break up the party, do you?
43584You have n''t any idea where Margaret went-- or what she did?
43584You have n''t evidence enough to convict them of the robberies at Stoddard House?
43584You have never come across a girl named Margaret Detweiler, have you, Miss Horton?
43584You heard that my daughter is married, Miss Gay?
43584You mean besides last night?
43584You mean that they''ll drive down for us?
43584You mean you want to go home, Mary Louise?
43584You never heard anything about those watches, did you?
43584You one of Mrs. Ferguson''s girls?
43584You remember her, do n''t you?
43584You saw me come out of that pawnshop yesterday, did n''t you, Miss Gay?
43584You think that young man is guilty? 43584 You''ll go to the senior prom with me?"
43584You''ll leave the solving of mysteries and crimes to your father hereafter, wo n''t you?
43584You''re a schoolgirl?
43584You''re home to stay, darling?
43584You''re not going to follow me everywhere I go, are you?
43584You-- are-- going to arrest me?
43584All those engagements you have-- all the fun you have planned with your young friends?
43584An accident?"
43584And another thing, can you tell me where Mrs. Weinberger''s room is?
43584And for what?
43584And if you have a chance, Mr. Hayden, will you keep your eye on these girls we''re suspecting?"
43584And perhaps you brought your knitting?"
43584And what was the date?"
43584And will you please let me pay the bill-- out of my salary?
43584Are they all members of a secret band of thieves?
43584Are you alive?"
43584Are you alive?"
43584Are you very busy?"
43584Are you willing to try it?"
43584Baltimore is tiresome, and I''ll be glad to leave.__ Love,__ Aunt Ethel._"May I make another copy of this letter?"
43584But do you really think it would do you any good to go there?
43584But have n''t you had enough, little girl?
43584But shall we be in time?"
43584But what will you do at the Ritz, Daddy?"
43584But why did you ask that, Mary Lou?"
43584CHAPTER X_ In the Dead of Night_"How about a movie?"
43584Christmas Day alone in a strange city?
43584Could she have gone to the movies with any of the girls, do you think?"
43584Could you ask her to spare me a minute or two?"
43584Could you be watching then?"
43584Did a young woman named Margaret Detweiler ever register here?"
43584Did n''t you tell me the employment manager promised not to send her to jail?"
43584Did you ever hear of that store?"
43584Did you question her about Ida''s story?"
43584Did you see the man, Miss Stoddard?"
43584Do you know where he lives?"
43584Do you play, Mary Lou?"
43584Do you think that would be too much trouble?"
43584Doing what?"
43584Gay, turning to his daughter,"did this aunt of Pauline''s live when she was in Philadelphia?"
43584Gay?"
43584Had someone come in?
43584Have n''t I been pretty good all fall?
43584Have you any in Center Square?"
43584Have you anything valuable here?"
43584Have you told Mother yet?"
43584Hayden?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584How about you, Mary Lou?"
43584How could she possibly get to know so many people in the short space of two weeks and hope to find the thief?
43584How did it happen?"
43584How did you ever come to suspect those girls?"
43584How do you feel?"
43584How do you like this weather for your vacation?"
43584How is your head now?"
43584How stupid of me.... Well, could you tell me whether any ladies''watches have been pawned here since midnight last night?"
43584I thought you were at the Ritz?"
43584I''ll get an Ingersoll tomorrow when I''m in town.... Now, what time is it?"
43584If everything had turned out all right, why had n''t Margaret written to her grandparents?
43584If she refused, might n''t he knock her down?
43584If she were behaving herself, would n''t she have written to her grandparents?
43584If so, how did he escape from the hotel?
43584In what other country would they detain innocent girls?__ Baltimore is where I am now, but I am leaving immediately for a trip to Florida.
43584In what other country would they detain innocent girls?__ Baltimore is where I am now, but I am leaving immediately for a trip to Florida.
43584Is Miss Weinberger''s friend like that?"
43584Is it?
43584Is n''t there something she left that I could take over to her, to use for an excuse?"
43584Is that O.K.?"
43584Is that correct?"
43584It knocked you out.... Now, can you manage to walk up to the hotel, or shall I carry you?"
43584It''s pretty good, do n''t you think?"
43584Looking me over and snickering at the way I wear my hair or tie my shoes?
43584Macgregor?"
43584Macgregor?"
43584Max, could we go to the Bellevue for lunch?
43584May I come in, Miss Stoddard?"
43584May we come in?"
43584Now what in the world could she do?
43584Now-- what would you say to a dance while we wait for our first course?"
43584Oh, what on earth could she do?
43584Oh, why had n''t she rushed down to see who was doing it?
43584Or do you want a typewriter?"
43584Out of Pauline''s window?
43584Remember-- I thought it was a man who stole my watch, though he did seem awfully small?
43584She''s been terribly worried, Mary Lou.... And shall I tell her that we''ll eat Christmas dinner with her at Stoddard House?"
43584So will you go back with me and arrest him, Constable Hodge?"
43584Solved your mystery yet?"
43584The solution seemed logical and plausible, yet how, Mary Louise asked herself, could she prove her accusations?
43584The startled voice of a man called out,"What do you want?"
43584There is n''t anybody by that name around here, is there?"
43584Was Margaret Detweiler connected with this gang?
43584Was it the Margaret whom Mrs. Ferguson had mentioned in her letter, or was it the woman herself?
43584Was n''t it funny, she mused, that the very first guest she had met at Stoddard House had been the guilty person?
43584Was n''t she just being terribly foolish to stay here in Philadelphia, missing all those good times?
43584Was one of those young men whom Pauline was dining with today an accomplice?
43584Was there a letter from this Mrs. Ferguson, or did she merely send the money?"
43584Was this country place at Center Square, and was that woman whom Mary Louise had seen in the dark Pauline''s aunt?
43584Was"Margaret"here, or had the police come to arrest Mary Louise for housebreaking?
43584Weinberger?"
43584Well, that''s an honest living, is n''t it?"
43584What could have happened to her?
43584What does she call herself?"
43584What happened then?"
43584What happened?"
43584What next?"
43584What time does the club meet?"
43584What would Christmas be without eating?"
43584What''s the nearest room you can give me?"
43584Where could he have vanished to?"
43584Where did Mrs. Weinberger go?"
43584Where does the postmaster live?
43584Where is it?"
43584Where was her father?
43584Where was the noise coming from?
43584Who else was there?"
43584Who was the intruder?
43584Who was this Mrs. Ferguson, and why had she done this kindness for an unknown girl?
43584Whoever it was, was he or she armed with a revolver?
43584Whom shall we get for a fourth?
43584Why had n''t he driven out here to Center Square when he returned to Stoddard House last night-- and had found her missing?
43584Why had n''t she come here before breakfast, since she knew from Mr. Hayden last night that the girls had telegraphed a request for the money?
43584Why had n''t she gotten the names of those girls from Mrs. Hilliard''s old register?
43584Why had n''t she thought of that explanation before?
43584Why had n''t she thought of that plan before?
43584Will you submit peacefully, Mrs. Ferguson, or must we call in the police?"
43584Will you write to her?
43584Will you write to her?
43584Will you?"
43584Wo n''t you go, dear?
43584Would it be too much trouble to look her up in your files?
43584Would it be worth it to you?"
43584Would n''t it be too wonderful?
43584Would n''t somebody miss her and come to her rescue?
43584Would n''t you want us to do everything in our power to get it back for you?"
43584Would that be time enough-- or do you want it now?"
43584Yet if she complied with his demand and let him see the roll of bills, what would prevent his stealing them all at once?
43584You do n''t suppose my parents would allow me to leave high school and take a regular job when I''m only sixteen, do you?
43584You''re sure it was a man, Mary Louise?"
170At your age, catching cold does n''t surely mean catching your death?
170I am afraid the heat of the room is too much for you; will you try my smelling bottle?
170Is there no such thing as a serious illness,she asks,"corked up in one of those bottles of yours in the vaults downstairs?"
170Then what prevents you from experiencing the same sense of relief that I feel?'' 170 What does this insolence mean?"
170Where is the true woman,she exclaims,"who wants time to consummate the sacrifice of herself, when the man to whom she is devoted demands it?
170''A stranger?''
170''After what I have told you, do you really wish to sleep in that room to- morrow night?''
170''Agnes,''he said,''are you beginning to understand how truly I love you?''
170''Am I right in supposing you to be Mr. Francis Westwick?''
170''And do you believe it on such evidence as this?''
170''And his master?''
170''And they will never return to England, eh?''
170''And what did you say?''
170''And you pay, if it''s a good one?''
170''Are you aware, Miss,''she began,''that I left my place in consequence of what I observed--?''
170''Are you burning letters?''
170''Are you composed enough to see her, after the shock that you have suffered?''
170''Are you deaf?''
170''Are you going to call on Miss Agnes too?''
170''Are you going to sleep in the room to- night?''
170''Are you in love with Miss Haldane already?''
170''Are you leaving the hotel?''
170''Are you not afraid?''
170''Are you positively sure she will be at the hotel?''
170''Are you really going?''
170''Are you really not aware of the smell there is in the room?''
170''Are you really obliged to go back?''
170''Are you sure of what you are saying?''
170''Baron Rivar?''
170''But surely discretion has its limits,''he added,''after such a discovery as we have made?''
170''By previous appointment?''
170''Can I be of any use to you before I go to bed?''
170''Can I never make you think of other days than those-- of the happier days to come?
170''Can the courier have come to me through that woman?''
170''Can you read Italian?''
170''Can you really tell me nothing which will throw any light on this matter?''
170''Can you tell me why?''
170''Can you tell me your object in going out?''
170''Cold and faint, Countess, on such a night as this?''
170''Danieli''s?''
170''Did she say nothing about what she saw or heard, on that dreadful night in my room?''
170''Did you go to the church?''
170''Did you permit Ferrari,''she resumed,''to make sure of being chosen for our courier by using your name?''
170''Do n''t you see that it has left its mark on me for life?''
170''Do you agree with me that the one dreadful doubt which oppressed us both is at least set at rest?''
170''Do you defend the Countess, of all the people in the world?''
170''Do you hear that?''
170''Do you know that I have anticipated your idea?''
170''Do you mean to say that the candle does n''t burn the moth, when the moth flies into it?''
170''Do you really believe that the mutilated remains which you discovered this morning are the remains of our brother?''
170''Do you think it would help you, Miss, if you read my husband''s letters to me?
170''Do you think the chimney- piece is as solid as it looks?''
170''Do you understand her?''
170''Do you want money?''
170''Do you wish me to leave the hotel?''
170''Do you wish me to leave you?''
170''Do you wish to see her?''
170''Does she like that?''
170''Force you to it?''
170''Go to the church?''
170''Has the time come already?''
170''Has this obstinate lady given you her name?''
170''Have I been so unhappy as to offend you?''
170''Have I distressed you?''
170''Have you any news of him?
170''Have you any questions to ask?''
170''Have you anything to tell me, Henry?''
170''Have you ever heard of such a thing as the fascination of terror?
170''Have you just returned?''
170''Have you read it all, Henry?''
170''Have you read it?''
170''Have you seen her this morning?''
170''Have you taken it for long?''
170''Have you thought of any better way of arriving at the truth?''
170''Have you thought of what I said to you earlier in the day?''
170''His letters?''
170''How can I do that?
170''How can I help you?''
170''How can you ask?''
170''How dare you come here?
170''How did Ferrari get on with Lord Montbarry?''
170''How does Lucy do that?''
170''How have I destroyed your hopes?''
170''How much shall I get?''
170''How shall I know?
170''How the devil did you know that Miss Lockwood was coming to Venice?''
170''I have not lowered myself in your estimation, Agnes?''
170''I look more than half dead already, do n''t I?''
170''I suppose, Agnes, you do n''t mind sleeping here by yourself.?''
170''I thought your husband had an engagement to take some ladies to Switzerland and Italy?''
170''I wonder who reminded my lord of the old servants?''
170''If I write the play, will you read it?''
170''If what?''
170''If you want my interest with any friend of mine,''she said,''why ca n''t you tell me the name?''
170''In what particular?''
170''Is Lady Montbarry here by your invitation?''
170''Is Miss Lockwood at home?''
170''Is Mr. Henry Westwick alone?''
170''Is he going to take that horrid woman with him to Ireland?''
170''Is it a woman?''
170''Is it not prettily decorated?''
170''Is it quite reasonable to be so angry with her, because your brother preferred her to me?''
170''Is it so nasty as that?''
170''Is it so terrible as that?''
170''Is it still about your husband?''
170''Is it such a very difficult favour to grant?
170''Is it true,''she asked, after a long silence,''that they have been married to- day?''
170''Is she likely to die?''
170''Is that all?''
170''Is the carriage at the door?''
170''Is the subject painful to you?''
170''Is the tie that once bound us completely broken?
170''Is there anything I can do for you?''
170''Is there anything in the world that I can do for you?''
170''Is your old nurse in the house?''
170''It is quite understood between us, I suppose, about the play?''
170''Like his lordship''s kindness?''
170''Maraschino punch-- will you taste some of it?''
170''May I ask who made that settlement a condition of the marriage?''
170''Might I ask you, sir, to give me my gloves?''
170''My good Westwick,''the Frenchman resumed, in his own language,''the conclusion is surely plain?
170''My good lady, you do n''t really believe that your husband is dead?''
170''No possible doubt?''
170''No?''
170''Now I am your wife, may I speak to you about something?''
170''Oh, a feeling?''
170''On her own authority?''
170''Perhaps Miss Lockwood is not going there with the rest of you?''
170''Perhaps you have not been informed of what happened after you left Venice?''
170''Perhaps, your ladyship may be the person?''
170''Perhaps,''he reflected,''my temperament is more imaginative than I supposed it to be-- and this is a trick played on me by my own fancy?
170''Right?''
170''Shall I try the experiment,''he asked,''or will you?''
170''She remembered me, of course?''
170''She?''
170''Shot in a gambling- saloon?''
170''So you have come to Venice?''
170''Suppose I inform myself,''she thought,''on the subject of Venice?''
170''Suppose I tell you?''
170''Suppose he has altered his plans, since dinner- time?''
170''Suppose we say that an impulse has directed my journey?
170''Suppose you ask him?''
170''Suppose you try, Miss, how it looks in writing?''
170''Sure of it, after what you have just heard?''
170''Surely it was not the Countess herself?.''
170''Surely,''he said,''you are not foolish enough to take what I have been telling you seriously?''
170''That satisfied them, of course?''
170''The Countess( speaking with quiet dignity-- for why should her infamous husband have the satisfaction of knowing how deeply he has wounded her?)
170''The Palace Hotel?''
170''Then you are only insolent?
170''Then you told her what you found when you opened the hiding- place?''
170''Three or four pounds a year?
170''To whom?''
170''Was it with your knowledge and permission that Ferrari used your name?''
170''Was she too crazy to remember that these things really happened?''
170''Was there anything in her expression, when you first looked at her, that took you by surprise?''
170''Was there anything remarkable in the lady''s personal appearance?''
170''Was this expected, sir?''
170''Well, Emily, what can I do for you?''
170''Well, Henry, and why are you going away?''
170''Well, but where is he going?''
170''Well?''
170''Well?''
170''What did he discover?''
170''What did he do?''
170''What did your visitors from the insurance offices think of it?''
170''What do you mean?''
170''What do you think of it, Miss?''
170''What do you want of me?''
170''What do you want with me?''
170''What does all this matter to me?''
170''What does she mean by boasting of this as her own invention?''
170''What end?''
170''What has Miss Lockwood to do with it?''
170''What has come to me?''
170''What has put writing a play into your head?''
170''What has that to do with your new play, Countess?''
170''What in the world is the matter with you?''
170''What is it?''
170''What is it?''
170''What is that?''
170''What is the most probable explanation, in your opinion?''
170''What is there absurd in it?
170''What is there to alarm you, my dear, in this conventionally classical face?''
170''What prevents you from doing that?''
170''What should I have done in the troubles that have come to me, without your sympathy?
170''What was she doing?''
170''What will you have?''
170''What woman?''
170''What would you advise me to do?''
170''What''s this?''
170''When is Miss Agnes Lockwood expected to be in Venice?''
170''When is Miss Lockwood expected to be in Venice?''
170''When shall I see you again?''
170''Which way, ma''am?''
170''Who can tell?
170''Who is she?''
170''Who is to help us?
170''Who sent you the letter?''
170''Why ca n''t his father and mother go and see him at Lord Montbarry''s?''
170''Why could n''t you help it?''
170''Why could n''t you say so at once?''
170''Why do I only hear this morning that the Countess and Mrs. James are one and the same person?''
170''Why do n''t you consult a doctor whose special employment is the treatment of the insane?''
170''Why do you ask me about the lost courier?''
170''Why do you come to me?''
170''Why do you remind me of what I have suffered?''
170''Why is the hotel called the"Palace Hotel"?''
170''Why not?
170''Why not?''
170''Why not?''
170''Why should I feel a foolish pride about myself in your presence?
170''Why was I not told of it last night?''
170''Why?
170''Why?''
170''Will his sister''s winnings( with my Lord''s money) prove large enough to help him?
170''Will the day never come,''he pleaded,''when the privilege of protecting you may be mine?
170''Wo n''t go?''
170''You are a good fellow, Henry,''he said;''but are you quite sure that you have not been needlessly distressing yourself?
170''You do n''t mean that you have seen her again?''
170''You do n''t mean the English maid who was with Lady Montbarry at Venice?''
170''You do n''t mean to say that nurse has got a legacy?''
170''You good innocent creature,''she said,''what does your amiable forgiveness matter?
170''You have heard of what I saw last night?''
170''You have rested as well as usual?''
170''You really believe that I am not deluded by a dream?''
170''You remember Emily Bidwell, my favourite pupil years ago at the village school, and afterwards my maid?
170''You see?''
17013 A,''to ask him in the presence of witnesses how he liked his bedchamber?
170About this money, Master Henry?
170Am I as entirely parted from the good and evil fortune of his life as if we had never met and never loved?
170Am I as entirely parted from the good and evil fortune of his life as if we had never met and never loved?''
170Am I right in believing that the sooner you get away from Venice the happier you will be?''
170And by whom?''
170And do you know where he is?''
170And what is the result?
170And will you tell me( if you have heard anything), in mercy to his wife?''
170And, our business being settled, dear Mr. Westwick, shall we get out of this hot room into the nice cool air again?''
170Are there no materials, here in my head, for writing a play-- if the opportunity is granted to me?''
170Are there no other women who serve as governesses, and who are the equals of the persons whom they serve?
170Are they for sale?''
170Are you aware that he is married?''
170Are you his wife?
170Are you ready to follow me back, through the crimes of the past, to the secrets of the dead?''
170Are you really going to stay here?
170Are you satisfied?''
170Are you well assured that the day of reckoning has come at last?
170As you seem so well informed, perhaps you know why she is coming to Venice?''
170Bear all these statements in mind, Agnes; and how can you deny that the question of Montbarry''s death and burial is a question set at rest?
170Because the man was unworthy of her, was he less the man of her choice?
170Before two?
170Besides my cigar, do you smell anything else-- vile, abominable, overpowering, indescribable, never- never- never- smelt before?''
170But how is he to pay the preliminary expenses?
170But is the tie that once bound us, completely broken?
170But you know how I am situated-- you heard what Lord Montbarry said at dinner- time?''
170But, in the present state of her mind, is her testimony to be trusted-- even if she were willing to speak?
170CHAPTER XII''Do you think she is mad?''
170CHAPTER XX''Shall I see you again?''
170Can such a woman as Agnes give her love or refuse it, according to circumstances?
170Could she leave her friend and benefactress helpless at Lady Montbarry''s mercy?
170Destiny, like a mocking echo, answers, How?
170Did the lady in the consulting- room suspect him?
170Did you notice anything, while you were at Venice, that would account for her husband''s extraordinary disappearance?
170Did you see her, Doctor?''
170Did you see how she looked at Montbarry, when she had to lift her veil at the beginning of the service?
170Do n''t you agree with me?''
170Do you mean to say my will is stronger than yours?''
170Do you mind my having her in here for a minute or two?''
170Do you think I do n''t know what it means for you and for me?
170Do you understand me a little better now?
170Do you want a new play?''
170Does he perceive in the composure of the Countess and her brother something lurking under the surface that threatens him?
170Dream or reality, how had Agnes survived the sight of it?
170Faithful to his duties, the servant waited to ask the customary question,''Do you dine at home to- day, sir?''
170Ferrari,''he said,''have you heard what Mr. Westwick has just told me?''
170For the last time, sir, what am I-- a demon who has seen the avenging angel?
170Had it been the influence of a dream?
170Had she left it in her bed- chamber in the hurry of changing her dress?
170Had she really been wrong?
170Had the woman left an infection of wickedness in the house, and had he caught it?
170Has your experience of last night not altered the opinion which you expressed to me yesterday?''
170Have I deserved that you should temper justice with mercy?''
170Have I not heard that your brother Stephen was the next heir to the title?
170Have I stated it fairly?''
170Have n''t I told you that Miss Lockwood travels with Lord and Lady Montbarry?
170Have the supernatural influences affected your appetite again?''
170Have you decided on a subject already?
170Have you had any letters this morning?
170Have you heard when she is coming?''
170Have you really courage enough, Mrs. Ferrari, to carry out this notable scheme of yours?
170He asked himself,''In whose likeness might I have recognised it before the decay set in?
170He called out,''Who is there?''
170He whispered faintly,''Are you sure?''
170How am I interested in it?
170How can you talk such nonsense?''
170How could he resist that appeal?
170How did he know that the plan had been put in execution?
170How did you get in?
170How do you suppose the criminal feels on the scaffold, while the hangman is putting the rope around his neck?
170How does your husband behave to you?''
170How is it that your name is not on the Visitors''List?
170How?
170I feel sure that I can trust your discretion, sir, so far?''
170I know I ca n''t identify it-- and yet I ask myself over and over again, in whose likeness did it appear?
170I wonder how it will end?''
170I wonder if I should shake your sublime confidence in yourself, if I suggested the most ticklish subject to handle which is known to the stage?
170I wonder if you have quite forgotten my big black eyes and my hideous complexion?''
170I wonder who you are?
170If I and my brother and sister have seen nothing, how should Agnes Lockwood discover what was not revealed to us?
170In case of accidents, he is surely bound to do something for his bride?
170In what part of the palace is he to be hidden?
170Is it business?
170Is it far from here?''
170Is it possible that the Baron is in earnest?
170Is that all?
170Is that true?''
170Is there anything I can do to help you?''
170Is there anything more that I can do?
170Is there no explanation of the mystery of The Haunted Hotel?
170It almost takes you off your guard, does n''t it?
170Judging by my first act, Mr. Westwick, tell me truly, and do n''t be afraid of turning my head:-- Am I not capable of writing a good play?''
170May I ask for what purpose?''
170May I ask, Mr. Westwick, how you find yourself in the hotel, this time?
170May I hope that you will do us the great favour to say nothing about what has happened upstairs?
170May I inquire to whom I have the honour of speaking?''
170My little loves, do you sniff a nasty smell here-- ha?''
170No?
170On the other hand, if the Courier dies, how is the sequestrated and unknown nobleman to be put out of the way?
170On what sort of terms, for instance, did he live with his master and mistress?''
170Once again, will you read it?''
170Or had she fainted?
170Or was the march of events taking her unexpectedly, too, on the journey to Venice?
170Or, if you must think of the time that is passed, can you not look back to the time when I first loved you?''
170Or, perhaps, my friend is right; something is physically amiss with me?
170Passively, by letting him starve in his prison?
170Perhaps you meant number 13 A, on the first floor?
170Perhaps, I had better go home after what has happened?
170Rather an unexpected death, was n''t it?
170Rolland?''
170Sad nonsense, Mr. Westwick, is it not?
170Shall I feel some other influence than hers?
170Shall they drop their prisoner into the canal?
170Shall they set his bed on fire?
170She looked up from her writing with a passing flash of curiosity, and said,"What are they going to do with it?"
170Suppose I write and ask my lawyer( who is also my friend and trustee) to come and advise us to- morrow after his business hours?''
170Suppose you ask Arthur?''
170Surely it was time for her to follow the general example?
170The active policy remains-- say, assassination by the knife of a hired bravo?
170The cheapest poison will do.--Is it possible, Henry, that you believe this consultation really took place?''
170The likeness of Ferrari?
170The one thing I want to know is, does the law permit it?''
170The woman looked at the Countess and whispered back,''Shall we send for a doctor, sir?''
170Was everybody in bed and asleep but herself?
170Was he married by any chance?
170Was it in the likeness of Ferrari?
170Was it the manager who had knocked?
170Was she ill?
170Was she in the agony of a dream?
170Was she really sleeping?
170Was that a good sign?
170Was that enclosure in any way connected, as a result, with the conversation between the Baron and Ferrari?
170Was the consul''s testimony doubtful in any part of it?
170Was the gentleman then in the hotel?
170Was the monstrous plot, revealed in the lines which he had just read, the offspring of the Countess''s morbid imagination?
170Was the new patient only a hypochondriacal woman, whose malady was a disordered stomach and whose misfortune was a weak brain?
170Was the woman of the mysterious warnings and the wild black eyes still thousands of miles away in America?
170Was this the rare case that he had anticipated, judging rashly by appearances?
170What are the conspirators to do, if the man does recover?
170What are your poor little wrongs, in the reckoning for greater wrongs which is demanded of me?
170What are your wishes, gentlemen?
170What could I answer?
170What could the offices do but pay?
170What danger of discovery have they to dread?
170What devil had possessed him to degrade himself in the eyes of his own servant?
170What do you say, Countess, to entering the lists with Shakespeare, and trying a drama with a ghost in it?
170What do you think, Henry?
170What does he do?
170What good purpose could be served, what relief could he anticipate, if he read more?
170What had she seen?
170What happens in the morning?
170What has he been doing out of his bed?
170What impression had he produced?
170What is he afraid of?--a possible examination of the body after death?
170What is it that you expected me to do?''
170What is the plain alternative before them?
170What might be the consequence if he trusted her with the terrible truth?
170What shall I do with my legacy when I have got it?''
170What time is she coming to- morrow?
170What was he to say to her?
170What will the insurance offices do?''
170What would you do for a thousand pounds?"
170When did you meet with such an unreasonable woman before?
170When his lordship wrote it?
170When she sees him, shall I see him too?''
170Where are the obstacles?
170Where does she live?
170Who can say she has a mercenary motive in marrying him?''
170Who is it-- eh?
170Why do n''t I resist them?
170Why do you ask?''
170Why should n''t she be Lord Montbarry''s wife?
170Why should we not do her justice?
170Why should we not meet again?
170Why should you take the room?
170Will he force me to it?
170Will he not be the new lord?
170Will she say plainly what this perfectly easy thing is, the doing of which will meet with such a magnificent reward?
170Will some one tell me?''
170Will you leave the room with me?
170Will you make the attempt, to satisfy your own mind?
170Will you read the Third Act?
170With her heart in the tomb of the dead Montbarry, could Agnes even think of another man, and think of love?
170Without alarming the ladies by telling them what I have just told you, can you not warn Agnes to be careful in securing her door?''
170Wo n''t you tell me whether she made any confession to you?''
170Would Madame, therefore, be good enough to follow Miladi''s maid up the stairs?''
170Would it be well to reserve the room for the special occupation of Mr. Francis?
170Would it be well( she asked herself) to get ready for bed?
170Would you like to see her?''
170You leave the question of what is to be done with these pages of writing to me, as the head of the family?''
170You remember how strangely she talked of your influence over her, when she forced her way into your room in London?''
170and do n''t you know that she is a member of the family?
170and what can I do for you in her ladyship''s place?"
170and why did he state the bare fact, without adding a word of explanation?
170do you think I want to be told what you saw?
170he exclaimed,''what does this mean?''
170how?''
170is it possible?''
170or did Thomas''s shoes creak, and was her sense of hearing unusually keen?
170or do you not object to keep watch here, and help me when I return?''
170or only a poor mad woman, misled by the delusion of a deranged mind?''
170or pleasure?''
170or the likeness of--?''
170or was it--?''
170or was she spiritually conscious of something hidden in the room?
170said his friend,''you think the widow will get the money?
170she exclaimed, blushing brightly,''you have not given up your pleasant holiday in Italy on my account?''
170the nurse repeated in amazement--''she offend me?
170what does this mean?''
170what it contained?
170when you will be the pride and joy of my life, as long as my life lasts?''
170why he kept it a secret from Lady Montbarry( and from the Baron also); and why he should write at all to the wife of his courier?
170why should I have any secrets from you?
43977''And what makes you blue?'' 43977 ''Did I?''
43977''Why do you look at that mountain?'' 43977 A girl?"
43977An egg?
43977And are there truly five others equally lovely?
43977And do n''t you know about him?
43977And how have you been?
43977And just what are you looking forward to?
43977And now what?
43977And our fishing is over for the day? 43977 And she said,''No?
43977And so you think she''s making herself mournful over Mr. Pritchard? 43977 And suppose we was what you think, what would we be doing in the meantime?
43977And the bet still stands?
43977And what is poetry for?
43977And what might_ that_ amount to?
43977And what side did you take?
43977And what was the meeting about?
43977And where is the key?
43977And why?
43977And you think we''re not just plain conceited?
43977And you want a license for him, not for yourself?
43977And you wo n''t renege-- you''ll pay? 43977 And you''re sure I''m not imposing on you in the matter of the silver?"
43977And you''ve been dying for a smoke all this time? 43977 And you''ve no idea who she was?"
43977And you?
43977And_ you_ do n''t?
43977Are n''t we ever to see any of our old friends any more?
43977Are n''t you going to give us up?
43977Are n''t you sorry for us, Artie?
43977Are they nice and presentable, like fat old Sam Langham?
43977Are we to have a whole house to ourselves?
43977Are you all right?
43977Are you frozen?
43977Are you game?
43977Are you going to leave your rod and things in the boat?
43977Are you there?
43977Are you very impatient for the morphine?
43977Aristocracy? 43977 Arthur gone to put them off?"
43977Believe what?
43977Believe you will make her live in it?
43977Bob, among ourselves, do you really think Jefferson Davis was a greater man than Abraham Lincoln?
43977But am I never to see you, never to know your name?
43977But how about this, Miss Gay?
43977But how could I stop caring-- about you?
43977But how do you know they were referring to you?
43977But if some one-- any one were to stay within call----?
43977But if they are from South Carolina, would n''t our terms stagger them? 43977 But if you were n''t?"
43977But last night? 43977 But suppose they are n''t?"
43977But where will you build it?
43977But who,she asked,"will find work for them?"
43977But why be an innkeeper?
43977But why did n''t you write to me?
43977But with sister Mary''s mind made up, and the rest backing her, what could a poor broken- hearted young man do? 43977 But you-- you yourself don''t-- do you?"
43977But you?
43977But, please, why should n''t I see you? 43977 But,"exclaimed Lee,"what''s the matter with Gay and me?"
43977But,she said, seeing an objection,"how do you know he weighs three pounds and over?"
43977Ca n''t you possibly keep us?
43977Ca n''t you see from here that the fifth is an Englishman?
43977Ca n''t you_ tell_ us where it is?
43977Can you come now and help us pick out a site for the tent?
43977Child, are there the scars of wolves''teeth on your wrists and ankles?
43977Coffee?
43977Coffee?
43977Coffee?
43977Could n''t you get ashore without being seen? 43977 Could n''t you?"
43977Dead?
43977Did Langham find you?
43977Did Mrs. Waring ride?
43977Did n''t you vote for Wilson?
43977Did they separate in the office?
43977Did ums want some nice vasy on ums poor sick nose?
43977Did you get the watch?
43977Did you own the land you were driven off?
43977Did you see her?
43977Did you?
43977Do I think it''s fun? 43977 Do men in danger always carry on the way you do?"
43977Do n''t I help at all?
43977Do n''t you ever want me to see you? 43977 Do n''t you know how annoying it is when there''s a tall centrepiece and you ca n''t see who''s across the table from you?"
43977Do n''t you know_ him_? 43977 Do we fish from the shore or the boat?"
43977Do we, chef?
43977Do you believe in fairies?
43977Do you feel as if summer was over, too?
43977Do you mean that?
43977Do you mean to say,he whispered to Maud in a sort of savage whisper,"that I''ve got to swallow that insult without protest?"
43977Do you mean to tell me,said he,"that there are two other D- D- Darlings exactly like you?"
43977Do you mean,he said,"that you merely throw about you at random, and that it is possible to take fish?"
43977Do you promise that?
43977Do you really think the Southern armies wiped up the map with the Northern armies every time they met? 43977 Do you suppose,"said Lee,"that what he said was funny or just dumb?"
43977Do you think,said Gay sweetly,"that it''s natural for a man to eat as much as Sam Langham does?"
43977Do you usually manage to?
43977Do you,he said presently,"swim as well as you row?"
43977Do you?
43977Does anybody,she asked,"know anything about Samuel Langham?
43977Engaged?
43977Eve, darling-- is it all right?
43977Eve?
43977Ever seen the Arboretum?
43977For Heaven''s sake,exclaimed Gay,"trim boat, and what''s the matter anyway?"
43977For yourself?
43977Friend of yours?
43977Frightened?
43977Had n''t you-- ah-- um-- better put your rod together?
43977Has anybody seen the sketch- map that papa made of the buildings?
43977Have I?
43977Have you any idea where they''ve gone?
43977Have you changed your mind?
43977Have you got anything worth while in that mail- bag?
43977Have you spent any of the money they took?
43977Have you such a thing?
43977He''s done a lot for us, has n''t he?
43977Here we are then-- a match or not?
43977Hold hands?
43977Honestly? 43977 How about the man on guard with a Winchester?"
43977How about this one?
43977How about us-- what?
43977How about us?
43977How big is he, Miss Gay?
43977How deep''s the water?
43977How did you know me?
43977How do Christians amuse themselves in the Chinese capital?
43977How do you feel?
43977How do you know,said Gay,"that they wo n''t pick their teeth in public?
43977How does your hand feel?
43977How long,he asked,"would it take to build a little house for my cousin and me?"
43977How would it be,said Maud,"if I took you straight to the kitchen?
43977How''s that, Mel?
43977How''s that?
43977How,said Pritchard, his eyes twinkling,"shall I convince the girl I love-- that I know her by sight?"
43977How? 43977 How?"
43977How_ can_ you know that?
43977Hurry?
43977Hurt?
43977I ca n''t come out, Arthur,said the voice;"but good- morning to you, and how''s the family?"
43977I can touch bottom,said Herring politely;"can you?"
43977I make those promises,said Renier simply;"will you give her to me?"
43977I mean, what year?
43977I must have a free hand to hunt for the stuff in my own way-- It''s perfection-- you never, never made a better one-- now, how about the diamonds?
43977I suppose your brother''ll be getting married right away, wo n''t he? 43977 I wonder,"said Langham, and he watched her face stealthily,"if by any chance those two are really engaged?"
43977I''ll bet you my prospective dividends for the year,she said,"against----""My prospective title?"
43977I? 43977 I?"
43977If what?
43977Impassable?
43977In lilac time?
43977Is Stripes hurt?
43977Is he just posing, or is there something in it?
43977Is it a bluff?
43977Is it yes-- or no?
43977Is n''t Eve about the oldest name you know?
43977Is n''t it nice,said Phyllis,"that there is money in the family after all, and we''re going to give up The Camp as an inn?"
43977Is that a challenge?
43977Is that a challenge?
43977Is that boy hugging you publicly? 43977 Is that his letter?
43977Is that like Indians do?
43977Is that the quest he ought to ride on?
43977It means,said Gay generously,"that you are going away?"
43977Just what do you mean by that?
43977Lee?
43977Little? 43977 Looks like it, do n''t it?"
43977Mamma,said Arthur,"is worth travelling ten thousand miles to see any day, is n''t she?"
43977Matter?
43977Maud,she said,"among the applications you have received, how many are from women?"
43977Mel,he said,"can you afford to do this thing?
43977Mel?
43977Miss Darling,said Colonel Meredith,"you do n''t feel chilled, do you?
43977My dear girl,said Gay,"why the dickens did n''t you tell us sooner?
43977Now,he said,"that you''ve proved everything,_ wo n''t_ you let me help?"
43977Of course, you except present company?
43977Oh, thank you so much, will you?
43977Play him?
43977Say,said a man who had not yet spoken,"do you two sprigs of jasmine ever patronize the''movies''?
43977Seriously,said Arthur,"are you going to turn The Camp into an inn?"
43977Seriously-- are you having a pretty bad time?
43977Shall I write or telegraph?
43977Something in this style?
43977Such as?
43977Suppose she had n''t been willing to marry you and had had a voice like a dove?
43977Suppose,said Mary,"that somebody did say just that?"
43977Sure you''ve got it?
43977That last?
43977That you, Mel?
43977That''s funny, is n''t it? 43977 The best time to propose to a girl?
43977The point is this,said Maud:"Can you swim?"
43977Then all you are out for is to take a licking?
43977Then what are you?
43977Then you have never suffered from gout?
43977They would n''t?
43977Too cold to write your name in our brand- new register?
43977Trout?
43977Truly,he said,"was that what you were thinking?"
43977Truly?
43977Truly?
43977Two hundred thousand?
43977Was the old film all right? 43977 Was the vigil too long?"
43977Well, we can find out where they''ve gone, ca n''t we?
43977Well?
43977What about?
43977What are you doing here?
43977What are you doing?
43977What are you going to do with them?
43977What are you?
43977What did he do about the melon?
43977What did we tell you, Maud? 43977 What do you find to shoot at this time of year?"
43977What do you make them out to be?
43977What do you mean?
43977What do_ you_ think of what I said?
43977What does_ I''m off_ mean?
43977What engagements?
43977What for?
43977What happened in the end?
43977What happened?
43977What has been decided?
43977What is English style, and why ought we to row that way?
43977What is it?
43977What is that to do with it? 43977 What is the Adirondacks?"
43977What is the title?
43977What is up to me?
43977What is wonderful?
43977What kind of a house do you want?
43977What of?
43977What ought I to say? 43977 What quotation?"
43977What say?
43977What size, please, miss?
43977What sort of an adventure?
43977What was that?
43977What was your job, Arthur?
43977What were some of her friends like?
43977What''ll you bet?
43977What''s his name?
43977What''s my brother doing?
43977What''s that stuff?
43977What''s that?
43977What''s the matter with you?
43977What''s the trouble?
43977What''s wrong with_ this_ mountain?
43977What''s wrong, Gay?
43977What,she said,"are we going to eat this side of winter?
43977What? 43977 What?"
43977What?
43977What?
43977What?
43977Where are they?
43977Where are you off to?
43977Where do you come from?
43977Where is the princess at the moment?
43977Where?
43977Which Miss Darling?
43977Which hand?
43977Which style do you prefer, Miss Darling, English or American?
43977Which winter?
43977Which? 43977 Who ca n''t talk?"
43977Who is M?
43977Who is responsible for this--cried Arthur,"for this sickening-- this degraded piece of mischief?"
43977Who said,murmured the ecstatic Langham,"that nothing good ever came of liking good things to eat?"
43977Who says Bostonians are cold?
43977Who were they?
43977Who''s here?
43977Who''s to tell Mary?
43977Why did you?
43977Why have you got to wait four minutes?
43977Why is it,said Mary,"that a girl is ashamed when it is her money that attracts a man, and proud when it is her face?
43977Why is that?
43977Why not set up as a landscape- gardener?
43977Why not together, then?
43977Why not?
43977Why quarrel with them?
43977Why should he?
43977Why tell me? 43977 Why?
43977Why? 43977 Why?"
43977Why?
43977Why?
43977Why?
43977Why?
43977Why?
43977Why_ did_ you? 43977 Will there always be rich people and poor people?"
43977Will you come as far as Carrytown in the_ Streak_?
43977Will you do it?
43977Will you guide me to- morrow?
43977Will you teach me?
43977Will_ you_ take care of it for me?
43977With or without the diamonds?
43977With pleasure, but sha n''t I get word to the girls? 43977 Wo n''t it look rather funny if we march in hand in hand and say:''Beg pardon, sir, but how do you get married in the State of New York?''"
43977Would n''t you be embarrassed if you were a girl and had been through the adventure I went through? 43977 Would n''t you be frightened if I had six great angry brothers and you were just going to meet them for the first time?"
43977Would n''t you,he said,"even_ like_ to sit in his lap?
43977Yes?
43977You do n''t know who I am, do you?
43977You do n''t need the morphine?
43977You do n''t think you are after char now, do you?
43977You feel mighty uncomfortable, do n''t you, Bob?
43977You guide, do n''t you?
43977You had n''t? 43977 You have seen them-- kiss?"
43977You know that one with the green and brown? 43977 You mean to- day?
43977You really are, are n''t you?
43977You will? 43977 You would n''t say that,"he said;"you''d say I was just typical, would n''t you, now?
43977You''ll have to lend me a suit of clothes-- but, look here, Mel: suppose the silver and stuff has been lifted-- doesn''t exist any more? 43977 You''ll swear not to tell?"
43977You''re still joking, are n''t you?
43977You''re sure he weighs more than three pounds?
43977You_ do_ know him?
43977_ Any_ girl?
43977_ I_ run down the South? 43977 _ They?_"exclaimed Colonel Meredith.
43977A few minutes later,"Where am I?"
43977A log house?"
43977A moment later,"How about drinking- water?"
43977Am I absolutely without influence upon manners even among my own tents?"
43977Am I forgiven?"
43977Am I to be secret as the grave or can I tell-- any one I happen to meet?"
43977And besides-- are you quite sure that the Pritchard and Herring episodes were mere flirtations?
43977And do you really think that wooden- faced doll that Sully painted has no equal for beauty north of the Mason and Dixon line?
43977And of a shilly- shallying and even snail- like motion?
43977And then you get a license, and then you curse laws and red tape for a while, and then you we d. Now, what you want is a license?"
43977And what did you find out?"
43977And what were his thoughts?
43977And who was he, when it came to that, to assume the unassailable morality of a parent?
43977And why not thank God when some worthless, cruel man dies?
43977And why not write the truth about him upon his tombstone instead of the conventional lies?
43977And you?"
43977And, if so, did you ever look your fill on a film called''Held for Ransom''?
43977Are there any authorities one might consult?''
43977Are we to stand here, then, till three or four o''clock, till his royal highness wakes up and calls for breakfast?"
43977Are you game?"
43977Are you going to use the landing- net for me, in case it''s necessary?"
43977Arthur called to him in a loud, hoarse voice:"Where''d you find that boat?"
43977As soon as I heard somebody say that it was impassable, I said:''Where is the other side?
43977Because it''s nowhere near over, is it?
43977Bob, did it ever occur to you that you and I ought to get married?
43977But I will shake hands with you with all the pleasure in the world-- my dear Cecily, does he come up to the memories of him?
43977But a man ca n''t give up all his hopes of happiness in this world without even stating them, can he?
43977But are you comfortable out there?
43977But how can I thank you?
43977But how could she say that when she knew perfectly well?
43977But how, in the name of all that''s good and blessed, do you happen to be in this particular place at this particular time?
43977But it was pretty bad, some of it, was n''t it?"
43977But suppose, by any fleeting chance, that Pritchard should not so regard it?
43977But tell me-- does our bet still stand?"
43977But what could she do?
43977But why did n''t you make more noise?"
43977Ca n''t you be serious about anything?"
43977Can the police be called off?
43977Can you follow?
43977Can you hear me?"
43977Can you lend me a suit of clothes till we get to New York?"
43977Care to come with me?"
43977Could she go to him( in person or by writing) and in his presence eat as much as a single mouthful of humble- pie?
43977Could she, Chef?"
43977Darling, I believe?"
43977Did Miss Darling send word explaining that I should be quite a while coming back?"
43977Did n''t Mr. Langham say there was a Renier among his guests?"
43977Did n''t you know that?"
43977Did they print well?"
43977Did you ever hear of a Colonel Meredith?"
43977Did you ever study_ le boxe_?
43977Did you ever try to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together?"
43977Did you, by any chance, come by way of the heavens in a''sweet chariot''?
43977Do n''t you?"
43977Do you believe in divorce?"
43977Do you feel able to drive, or shall I?"
43977Do you know of any one that''s got anything of that sort-- morphine, for instance?"
43977Do you know where they went?"
43977Do you know why hornless cows give less milk than horned cows?
43977Do you know why there are more honest men in the North, and pretty girls, than there are in the South?
43977Do you mind?"
43977Do you really think I should n''t know you from your sisters?"
43977Do you really think this is fun?"
43977Do you remember, Phyllis, being asked to a most''normous dinner dance at the Redburns''the year we came out?
43977Do you think_ he_ ever troubled his head about five and a half per cent, or even,"she finished mischievously,"six?"
43977Does any of this comfort him?
43977Does it matter if I never see it or handle it?
43977Does the State own as much as that, Arthur?"
43977Ever try that?"
43977Feel better?"
43977For where else in the woods could nature be more exquisite, dignified, and inspiring?
43977Had they an inkling of what being rather fast meant?
43977Hardly worth risking prison for-- was it?"
43977Has it ever been done?
43977Have n''t I told you that you are exactly the right size?"
43977Have n''t they liked each other for ever so long?"
43977Have n''t you?"
43977Have we, Maud?
43977Have you ever had the feeling that you would like to board a swift boat, head for the open sea, and never come back?
43977Have you ever tried to lie on the lawn under a tree and read for an hour or two-- incased in all your buffer of clothes?
43977He began to ask innumerable questions:"What sort of a house did they live in?"
43977He had done things that showed natural ability; but of what use was that?
43977He turned to the woman and asked with great kindness:"Is it their first crime?"
43977Herring?"
43977How are the tomatoes getting on?"
43977How did I know that you still cared?"
43977How is a fellow to convalesce from typhoid if people are n''t unfailingly kind to him?"
43977How, then, could any anger which he might visit upon them benefit?
43977I ask you_ what_?"
43977I may call you''Arthur''?
43977I shall always be able to allude to it-- isn''t that enough?
43977I suppose the others would never agree?"
43977I wonder if they are_ on_?
43977I''m sure you were against it, Arthur?"
43977If they take a fancy to each other-- of course it''s none of my business, but, my dear Miss Darling-- why not?"
43977If you and I were married, I''d just naturally dance-- wouldn''t I?
43977If you do n''t like our manners, Mr. Baltimore Oriole, you can lump''em, see?"
43977In New York it is reported to be a great success, is it?"
43977Is anything not right?"
43977Is he a suitable person?"
43977Is it ever too early to eat?
43977Is it gross to be fond of food?
43977Is my foot going for the float-- or the water?"
43977Is n''t she exactly the right size, Andrea?"
43977Is that better?"
43977Is there anything, for instance, more fresh in coloring, more adequate in line, than a delicately poached egg on a blue- and- white plate?
43977It means that I''ve got to find out if I''m-- to come back some time?"
43977Make a note of it-- What are you two whispering about?"
43977May I look?"
43977May I?"
43977No very exciting adventure, you say?
43977No?
43977Now, then, what can you tell me as to lap sitting and kissings?"
43977Now, you say that this swamp has never been crossed?
43977Of what use is remorse-- after the fact?
43977One day he had the following conversation with a Mr. May, of a private detective bureau:"You followed them?"
43977Or has each of you swallowed half of him?"
43977Otherwise----""What''s the matter with my spring?"
43977Pritchard said what year, and added,"Why do you ask?"
43977Pritchard smiled gravely into the vision''s eyes, and said in so low a voice that only she could hear:"Bad luck?
43977Pritchard was saying to himself:"We like the same sort of things-- why not each other?"
43977Really?''
43977Shall I tell you something else that I have deduced?"
43977Shall we?"
43977She never said:"_ Another_ egg?"
43977She never said:"_ Some more_ coffee?"
43977Sixteen hundred divided by seven is how much?"
43977Suppose that Pritchard had fallen victim to a case of love at first sight?
43977Suppose that not a single solitary person should even nibble at the high prices?
43977Suppose that the advertising, which would cost thousands of dollars, should fall flat?
43977Suppose we ca n''t get out?"
43977That looks as if it was going to be better than the other, though darker-- What''s the use of having ancestors if you''re not going to be one?"
43977Then you''ll come?"
43977Then, what could she do?
43977They ca n''t have lived happily afterward until they are dead-- can they?
43977This was n''t a motherly sort of voice, was it?"
43977To be in a scrape-- not to know when or how we are going to get out of it?
43977To what end?
43977Want to look?"
43977Was n''t there some kind friend to tell you that our prices are absolutely prohibitive?
43977Was the prospect of marrying me so awful?"
43977What are we going to eat now?"
43977What could girls know of men, anyway?
43977What did I tell you?
43977What did Miss Darling say, Mel?"
43977What did his sisters know of him?
43977What did she do last night?"
43977What do you want of me?"
43977What do_ you_ think, Arthur?"
43977What else can I do?"
43977What if they did out- gallant gallantry?
43977What ought I to promise?
43977What time is it?"
43977What will you bet?"
43977What''ll you bet?"
43977What''s it worth?"
43977What, you never heard of that stunt?
43977What?"
43977What_ does_ it matter if things go wrong once in a while?
43977What_ should_ she do?
43977When Pritchard could speak, he said:"You do n''t really think that, do you?"
43977Which do you suppose is which?"
43977Who am I?"
43977Who knows but a spring bubbles into a brook at the base of that rock?
43977Who knows but the world may end to- night?''
43977Who would have thought this morning that we were in for a storm?"
43977Who''s that in your pocket, Arthur?"
43977Why are you so embarrassed at me?"
43977Why do n''t you ask the guide for what you want?"
43977Why should the puny and prejudiced population of Texas have two votes in the Senate when the hordes of New York have but two?
43977Why, in a popular form of government, should the minority do the ruling?
43977Why_ did_ you?"
43977Will you forgive me?"
43977Will you lend me your hand a moment?"
43977Will you let things be as they were?
43977Will you?
43977Wo n''t we, Miss Maud?"
43977Would n''t I, in selling it to you, be guilty of sharp practice?"
43977Would n''t you be a little embarrassed to see the man who helped you, and look him in the face?"
43977Would n''t you_ love_ to sit in his lap and be hugged?"
43977Would that matter to you?
43977Would you give a penny for them?
43977Would you mind just stepping down and telling that to them?"
43977XVII"Are we all here?"
43977XXVI"Tired?"
43977XXXII"Lee, dear,"said Renier,"you do n''t feel that that fellow buncoed you into this, do you?
43977Yesterday I came upon her in the same place----""By accident?"
43977You are hungry?
43977You call this building Smoke House?
43977You can build a house, ca n''t you?
43977You can only scold-- and what earthly good will that do them, or you?"
43977You can trust me, ca n''t you?"
43977You know how sounds carry through an Adirondack night?
43977You really want to know?
43977You''d think they''d get to know each other pretty well in that time, would n''t you?
43977You''ll be Countess of Merrivale?"
43977You''ll stop to breakfast, Arthur?"
43977You''re on the porch, are n''t you?"
43977_ Can_ the money be returned?
43977_ Do_ I look foolish?"
43977_ He_ was in the back room----""''Counting out his money''?"
43977exclaimed the man of war,"what did I tell you?"
43977said Gay,"who ever heard of so much depending on a mere fish?
43977she exclaimed, and stopped rowing,"You do n''t know how to cast?"
34280An''me an''the boys-- can they arrest oos?
34280And Mr. Jones was a source of trouble and great embarrassment to her, was n''t he?
34280And all your stocks in the name of rummies?
34280And do you think the claim of intolerable cruelty is substantiated by a husband''s criticizing his wife''s dress?
34280And he refused to sign it?
34280And so it was your idea, Mr. Jones? 34280 And they drove you off by force?"
34280And unless they do I owe you eight hundred dollars-- do you understand?
34280And when and where were you married to him?
34280And you also met Mr. Thomas on that same day, did you not?
34280And you have always followed his advice?
34280And you know that the railroad pays you more for that lease in a month than you agreed to give mother in a year?
34280And you really left home to earn money in order to help support the Jones family, did n''t you?
34280And you remember the date?
34280And you saw him abuse his wife?
34280And you tried to induce him to sign such an important document as that when he was drunk?
34280And you were obliged to go without him?
34280And you''re going to keep it for me?
34280Are n''t you all tired out, dear?
34280Are they going to pay cash?
34280Are you all right, Bill?
34280Are you all right?
34280Are you counsel for the defense?
34280Are you sure you had never met Miss Buckley or Mr. Thomas before? 34280 Are you trying a divorce case or are you making love?"
34280At your old tricks, Lightnin''? 34280 Bane they arrest you for that?"
34280Been arrestin''any one in California lately?
34280Bill Jones,his wife persisted, her tones reverting to their former clear coldness,"did n''t your pension come to- day?"
34280Bill Jones,she asked, in a loud, rasping tone,"where have you been?"
34280Bill, I''m afraid you''ve been having a drink or two?
34280Bill, was there a letter for you?
34280Bill,she said, glancing down at the floor,"would you kiss me?"
34280But after you were married he was cruel to you, was he not?
34280But for why? 34280 But he was in the habit of coming home drunk, was n''t he?"
34280But now-- how about yourself? 34280 But say, John, ai n''t you takin''some chances round here?
34280But you know he had a gang of lumbermen there?
34280Can you repeat one lie that Mr. Jones told you?
34280Could n''t you do anything to them?
34280Daddy has told you what I should say to you, has n''t he?
34280Deed?
34280Did Mr. Thomas,he asked,"give you this position because you told him you wanted to be of financial assistance to the Jones family?"
34280Did n''t the railroad lease the waterfall from a bum concern called the Golden Gate Land Company? 34280 Did n''t you just testify that Mrs. Jones was the sole owner of that house?
34280Did you ever see Mr. Jones drunk?
34280Did you ever see Mrs. Jones''s husband drunk?
34280Did you just get here, daddy?
34280Did you know that he and Mrs. Davis were married to- day?
34280Did you try to have him go with you?
34280Died of fright, perhaps?
34280Do n''t you approve, Lightnin''?
34280Do n''t you know there''s some new boarders come?
34280Do n''t you think you''d better tell me?
34280Do n''t_ you_ think it would be best for me to go back, daddy?
34280Do that land belong to the railroad?
34280Do they all know he''s my husband?
34280Do you expect me to stand for this?
34280Do you know what time it is?
34280Do you know where I can find John Marvin?
34280Do you mean to say that you are not a member of the bar?
34280Do you think I''m drunk?
34280Do you think Marvin''ll be here to- day?
34280Do you want me to tell you how much money you get out of the waterfall?
34280Does our friend Bill know-- what we were talking about?
34280Eh? 34280 Eh?"
34280Friend of yours, John?
34280Got a segar for me, Bill?
34280Got a--?
34280Got what?
34280Hammond, eh? 34280 Have you had any supper, Bill?"
34280Have you heard anything of daddy?
34280Have you seen mother?
34280Have you signed that deed yet?
34280Have you signed that deed?
34280Have you tried to see him?
34280He deserted you, did he not?
34280He sold some property for your mother, is n''t that it?
34280He''s a fast driver, ai n''t he? 34280 Here, what you doing?"
34280How can she know that? 34280 How could I?
34280How dare you say that?
34280How did Mr. Marvin manage to get it away from them?
34280How did you guess it? 34280 How did you know about my getting the place back?"
34280How do you do? 34280 How do you know?"
34280How long you here for?
34280How much do I owe you?
34280How should I know the petty details of the railroad''s lease?
34280How should_ you_ know?
34280How''s everythin''in Nevada? 34280 How''s it goin''Lem?"
34280How''s tricks? 34280 How-- What do you mean, daddy?"
34280I got a right to ask''em again,''ai n''t I?
34280I got it, did n''t I?
34280I promised you, did n''t I?
34280I sent''em, did n''t I? 34280 If he was on the railroad''s property, what did you have to do with it?"
34280If you do n''t know whether he is drunk or not now, how did you know the other time when you saw him?
34280In my place?
34280In what way?
34280Is Millie--?
34280Is either o''you ladies gettin''a divorce?
34280Is that so?
34280Is that so?
34280Is there anything I can do?
34280It was not possible for you to get a good title to the property unless Mr. Jones signed the deed?
34280John Marvin come back from the city to stay at his cabin?
34280John, will you lend me two dollars?
34280Just as we is? 34280 Law?"
34280Lem thought of it, eh? 34280 Lennon,"he called to the clerk,"my clients can wait in there, ca n''t they?"
34280Let''s see,he said, softly, to himself,"Mrs. Taft''s letter-- she''s in Number Four, ai n''t she?"
34280Liked to hear about our waterfall, eh?
34280Look here,Hammond called after him,"is Mr. Thomas in?"
34280Looks kinder all polished up, do n''t he?
34280Lucky?
34280Me?
34280Miss Buckley, you know that Mr. Jones loved his wife, loved her devotedly, do n''t you?
34280Mother, ai n''t you cold?
34280Mother,''tain''t you?
34280Mr. Hammond,Bill went on,"when you went after Mr. Marvin with the sheriff, what was the charge against him?"
34280Mr. Thomas,he asked,"have you finished with your witness?"
34280Mrs. Davis, where do you live?
34280Mrs. Davis,he called in gentle tones,"are you ready?"
34280Now I am sure that if he felt that you and Miss Mildred were well provided--"Say, you''re kinder full of ideas yourself, ai n''t you?
34280Now are you satisfied?
34280Now you called Mr. Jones a liar, did n''t you?
34280Now, up to the time you met Mr. Jones you did not know anything about him, did you?
34280Oh, Lem,cried Mrs. Jones,"wo n''t you let me do the cooking?
34280Oh, really?
34280Oh, so you''re actually here, are you?
34280Oh, where are they?
34280Oh, you really have n''t heard?
34280Oh, you runnin''the place now?
34280Or perhaps you think you have beaten me to it, eh? 34280 Ours again?"
34280Publication in what?
34280Say, did you ever get the six dollars I sent you?
34280See all them names,he asked,"Secretary of the Treasury, and all of''em?"
34280Settin''Bull?
34280Since that time, you have had dealings with Mrs. Jones, have you not?
34280So you testified that he was a liar because you heard others say so?
34280Something mysterious-- about Lightnin''?
34280Stealing?
34280Studyin''them books?
34280Surely you know that the place is yours again?
34280Thank you?
34280That was three months before you bought mother''s place?
34280That''s what you think, is it?
34280The mail?
34280Them brains o''yours is pickin''up a bit, ai n''t they, Zeb?
34280Then I guess you''re working for him, ai n''t you?
34280Then why do n''t you practise?
34280Then you will withdraw the statement that he broke the law?
34280Then, why did you say you had never met him until you met him at the hotel?
34280Then, why,he asked, in measured tones,"is he appearing for you if he does not understand your case?"
34280They''re human beings, ai n''t they? 34280 Thought what, daddy?"
34280To help you?
34280To- day?
34280Trouble? 34280 Was he drunk then?"
34280We got some more for you,''ai n''t we?
34280We wo n''t have any more divorce people here, will we, Bill?
34280Well, Lightnin'',Marvin exclaimed,"how did you get here and what in the world have you come for?"
34280Well, Lightnin'',he questioned, in an indulgent voice,"how did you happen to show up here?"
34280Well, Millie,he answered,"I''m here now, ai n''t I?
34280Well, Miss Buckley,he asked,"Mr. Thomas has taken an interest in your affairs and given you advice?"
34280Well, we parted--"After he deserted you?
34280Well,Bill said, with that shrewd glance of his,"I ai n''t keepin''_ you_ from makin''a million dollars, am I?"
34280Well?
34280What did he tell you that was untrue?
34280What did she say?
34280What did you do with your wages?
34280What do you know''bout bees?
34280What do you mean, Bill?
34280What happened to him?
34280What is it?
34280What is it?
34280What is the matter, Millie?
34280What lies back of what?
34280What makes you say that? 34280 What makes you think that?"
34280What o''that?
34280What on earth do you mean, daddy?
34280What party?
34280What right have you to interfere?
34280What was that, Lightnin''?
34280What was the other business?
34280What work have you been doin''?
34280What you going to do, Lightnin''?
34280What you think, Millie?
34280What you want?
34280What you''fraid of? 34280 What''s He got to do with it?"
34280What''s the difference?
34280What''s the idee, Lightnin''?
34280What''s the matter, Zeb?
34280What''s the matter, dear? 34280 What''s the matter?"
34280What''s the reason I ai n''t?
34280What''s the reason I wo n''t?
34280What''s the reason you ca n''t?
34280What?
34280What_ you_ going to do?
34280When did he go?
34280When did he tell you all that?
34280When did you buy it?
34280When we goin''?
34280When''s he coming back?
34280Where are you going?
34280Where did the money come from?
34280Where did you disappear to after supper? 34280 Where else could I be?"
34280Where will you be judge?
34280Where you been all day?
34280Where''ll you go?
34280Where''s John?
34280Where''s the bar?
34280Where?
34280Where?
34280Who did you buy it from?
34280Who do you think drove me over?
34280Who employed you as a stenographer?
34280Who might you be?
34280Who was the thief?
34280Who''s calling her that?
34280Why ai n''t it?
34280Why did n''t you speak to John before you left the court to- day?
34280Why did n''t you tell me this before?
34280Why did you leave home three years ago, Miss Buckley?
34280Why do you allow yourself to be taken in this way? 34280 Why should two people be hitched together when they are pulling in different directions?
34280Why, Blodgett, old boy, do n''t you know any more about law than to try to serve me with a Nevada warrant when I''m in the state of California?
34280Why, were n''t you expecting me?
34280Why, what do you know about it?
34280Why?
34280Will you allow me to introduce myself properly?
34280Will you change five dollars for me?
34280Will you please let me pass?
34280Will you show me to my room?
34280Will you try divorce cases?
34280Would you like to register?
34280Would you mind if I tacked up some of these in the lobby?
34280Would you, Bill?
34280Would your replies be the same?
34280Ye like''em, do n''t you, Lem?
34280Yer case ai n''t over yet, is it?
34280Yes?
34280Yes?
34280You ai n''t crippled, be you? 34280 You also said he was cruel to his wife?"
34280You are not ashamed of it, are you?
34280You are the wife of Gerald Davis, are you not?
34280You asked him to come over and see me?
34280You call me liar?
34280You can imagine a lot o''things, ca n''t you?
34280You can prove them?
34280You did_ what_?
34280You do n''t mean to say you asked John Marvin to marry me?
34280You do n''t mind my doing that, do you, Bill?
34280You do n''t think I mean business, do you?
34280You have seen him in that condition hundreds of times, have you not?
34280You heard him tell lies?
34280You know the railroad company leased the waterfall on mother''s place and put a power- plant there?
34280You know where he is, do n''t you?
34280You mean I get half of it?
34280You mean the grounds on which the action is based?
34280You mean the testimony he has already given will stand?
34280You mean to call me a liar?
34280You mean,she questioned,"that-- that you want us to leave at once?"
34280You say, Mr. Hammond, that you had business dealings with Mrs. Jones? 34280 You sold the railroad the land he was trespassing on, did n''t you?"
34280You testified that Mr. Jones was a drunkard and that you had never seen him sober?
34280You were living in Peoria?
34280You''re John Marvin, ai n''t you?
34280You''ve forgiven me,''ai n''t you, Bill?
34280You''ve got a bee in your bonnet,''ai n''t you?
34280You''ve not given up the study of law, have you?
34280Your Honor,he asked, in his usual drawl,"a defendant has the right to plead his own case, ai n''t he?"
34280_ You_ are?
34280Almost touching her hand with his, he said, softly,"You mean you do n''t love him?"
34280Anybody at home know that you are here?"
34280Are you crazy?"
34280Are you sure you do n''t want that eight hundred now?"
34280As she sat down, he smiled at Millie, addressing her,"Miss Buckley, will you take the stand, please?"
34280As she withdrew hers with a giggle, he went on, unabashed,"Do you intend remaining here long?"
34280As the clerk sat down, Bill looked up at the judge, asking,"Is that all?"
34280Bill looked up at her, adding, complacently,"''Ai n''t I done a good piece of business?"
34280Bill smiled at him and said, in his slow, gentle monotone:"You bought all that land of him and never saw him about it?"
34280Blodgett gave Bill a mean look, sneering, as he sniffed at the air,"Say, you''re collecting something, ai n''t you?"
34280But Zeb, answering the warning that had never failed him, stayed close to the door, whispering back to Bill,"Where''s your old woman?"
34280But how?
34280But, surely, you have heard of his hotel, have n''t you?"
34280But-- why do you ask?"
34280CHAPTER XVI As Bill made his way through the swinging gates, Blodgett put out a detaining arm, asking, with a scowl,"Here, what do_ you_ want?"
34280Ca n''t you do anything about this fellow, this lawyer?
34280Could it be that Millie was really in love with Raymond Thomas?
34280Did he ever tell you about the duel I fought with Settin''Bull?"
34280Did n''t you, actin''for the Golden Gate Company, put through the deal?
34280Did you ever know Buffalo Bill?"
34280Did you know that Blodgett''s here?
34280Do n''t you remember us?"
34280Do n''t you want the clerk to know we are married?"
34280Do ye think Bill''ll think I''m getting crazy?"
34280Do you mind telling the court what that business was?"
34280Do you remember that, Mr. Hammond?
34280Do you remember the exact date?"
34280Do you think I''ve driven him away?"
34280Do you want me to get out?
34280Do you?"
34280Going close to him, she demanded,"Bill, have you been drinkin''?"
34280Harper shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Bill, continuing with his subject,"What''s the number of her room?"
34280Has n''t daddy told you about it?"
34280Have you got a room?"
34280He arose and wandered toward her, exclaiming, as she came to meet him,"Why, mother, what are you doing here?"
34280He did n''t know what to make of it all and he looked up at her, asking, with a chuckle:"What''s the matter, mother, you sick?"
34280He drew away from her, asking, quickly,"What of it?"
34280He grew red and shifted in his chair angrily, asking the judge:"Do I have to go all over that, your Honor?"
34280He knows we sold another strip o''land last month for next to nothin''--""What''s that to him?"
34280He leaned forward, his eyes searching hers as he questioned,"You like Mr. Thomas-- like him very much, do n''t you, Millie?"
34280He turned and met her with the question,"Thomas told you that, did n''t he?"
34280He''s arranged everything about selling the place, and there''s nothing more for him to stay--""You''re here, ai n''t you?"
34280How are things going up at your place?
34280How is everything?
34280I asked him, if you would own up that you were wrong like mother did, would he give you another chance?"
34280I suppose you have been out West here a long time?"
34280I suppose you left Mr. Thomas all alone there on the veranda, did n''t you?
34280If he is n''t in love with you, why is he plannin''for us to come and live in San Francisco?
34280If mother can prove them things they read,"and he nodded toward the clerk,"she could get a divorce, could n''t she?"
34280In all honesty you know that not one of these is the real reason that Mrs. Jones has asked for a divorce, do n''t you?"
34280In desperation, her blushes showing under the heavy veil, she whispered, quaveringly,"Could I speak to you privately?"
34280In his office in San Francisco, for instance?"
34280Is that what you mean?"
34280Jones?"
34280Jones?"
34280Jones?"
34280Jones?"
34280Jones?"
34280Jones?"
34280LISTENED ATTENTIVELY... HE TOOK IT FROM HIS POCKET, SAYING,"MILLIE, I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING"LIGHTNIN''CHAPTER I"Him?"
34280LISTENED ATTENTIVELY]"Do n''t you think it''s enough?"
34280Look here, do n''t the state line run plumb through the middle o''this house, so''s half of it is in California an''the other half in Nevada?
34280Looking down at the floor, she asked,"Did you come alone, daddy?"
34280Marvin grinned and continued,"Miss Buckley, you have never known Mr. Jones to be cruel or even unkind to his wife, have you?"
34280Marvin looked him in the eye and said, slowly:"You had seen the records?"
34280Marvin watched him, asking,"Did you tell her you were in the Soldiers''Home?"
34280Marvin, happy to see the old Lightnin''behind the boast, smiled, asking him,"How did you know the trial was to- day?"
34280Millie answered in the negative and Marvin prodded her further,"You have never seen him unkind to any one or anything, have you?"
34280Millie, deeply concerned, came from behind the desk and went up to the older woman, questioning,"You do n''t suppose his pension has come?"
34280Must I?"
34280Now what sort of man are you and what nice little game is this you are playing?
34280Obsequiously and with an easy laugh he extended a congratulatory hand to Townsend, while he remarked,"Quick work, eh, judge?"
34280Of course my wife thought I bought it for Miss Robbins, and-- well, what''s the use of talking about it?"
34280Or had he merely convinced her that his business motives were all that they should be?
34280Peters?"
34280Putting it back, she pouted,"You are not angry, are you, dear?"
34280Say, what was the name o''that feller what acted as agent for the railroad an''bought your property from Thomas when he done you out of it?"
34280Say, you ai n''t really goin''to git a divorce, are you?"
34280Shall we try it, Millie?"
34280So he dropped into the chair next to the sheriff, drawling,"You goin''over to Truckee to get a California warrant?"
34280So you were in the war?"
34280Still confused, and not yet quite getting the trend of the whole matter, he asked, in his quiet, disinterested way,"Who, me?"
34280Taking a little square box from his pocket, he opened it and held it up to view, saying,"If you do n''t see him, what is he going to do with this?"
34280That being so, how could Mr. Jones harbor a fugitive in his house, if he did n''t own a house?"
34280The judge is a friend of yours, is n''t he?"
34280Then Mrs. Davis asked,"Are you stopping here for pleasure or are you doing time?"
34280Then he asked of Hammond, motioning with his head toward Bill,"Is he drunk now?"
34280Then he called to Bill,"Did you tell your wife we were waiting for her?"
34280Then, glancing up at the surprised and startled little woman, he asked,"Does your husband happen to drive a green automobile, ma''am?"
34280They ca n''t help it if their hearts gets busted, can they?
34280This divorce has got to be obtained to give him a deed to the Jones property, has n''t it?"
34280Thomas?"
34280Thomas?"
34280Thomas?"
34280Thomas?"
34280To Bill he addressed the next question,"Is that what you asked about?"
34280Townsend caught Bill''s question and asked,"What did you say?"
34280Townsend studied Marvin intently for several moments and then he asked, quietly,"You are an attorney in good standing, are you not?"
34280Townsend was not at all pleased with the attention Peters was showing her and he turned, asking, unctuously,"See here, have you got a suite?"
