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