31719Was he dreaming, or had he and his friends strayed into the wrong house?
31719Was it a branch that stirred behind the tangle of evergreen bushes?
31719Was this resolute, self- contained young man the surly, unapproachable boy she had always disliked to encounter when calling upon Miss Betsey?
31719What business is it of yours how I spend my time?
31719What can we do?"
31719What could he say if anybody demanded to know where he had been?
31719What could we do?"
31719What do you mean?
31719What do you think happened?"
31719What do you think of my plan, Miss Alden?"
31719What have you got there?"
31719What is your honest opinion?"
31719What time is it, old Witch?"
31719What was to be done?
31719What wind or wave has her delayed?
31719What would Miss Betsey think later on, when the little captain had one of her attacks of high spirits?
31719What would they think if a day, as well as a night, passed with no sign of her?
31719When she is quite well, ca n''t you come to visit Nellie and me at''Forest House''?
31719When, before, had the boy ever called her"Cousin Betsey"?
31719Where is_ he_?"
31719Where''s your tug?"
31719Who had betrayed him?
31719Who is that boy named David?
31719Who knows what kind of tug the girls have had to hire to get them here?
31719Who was this lovely apparition that had opened the old farmhouse door for him?
31719Who would n''t rather stay at home than go walking with two tiresome boys on an afternoon like this?"
31719Whom is she going to marry?
31719Why did n''t you tell me before?"
31719Why did not some one speak?
31719Why should the burglar take pity on me and return me my poor little jewelry?
31719Why was it so dark in the hall?
31719Wo n''t you take, me out?"
31719Won''t-- you-- make-- David explain-- it to-- you?"
31719Yet could he face the suspicion which he felt sure would fall upon him?
31719Yet, unless she kept near the shore, how could she ever spy either the houseboat or the motor launch?
31719You and I have distinguished ourselves by getting lost on this houseboat trip, have n''t we, Nellie, dear?
31719You and Miss Betsey wo n''t be frightened about us?"
31719You remember those small sums of money that I vowed I had lost when we were first aboard the houseboat?"
31719You wo n''t say you saw us, will you?"
31719all the time at the donkeys that she feared were going to ruin her lawn?
31719are the young people following us?
31719asked David obstinately,"and how could I have the stolen goods if other people took them?"
31719how can I bear it?"
31719she cried,"what are you doing way off here?
31719what does it mean?"
26538Ah,murmured Philip Holt vaguely,"but do you feel sure that a boarding school is the best place for the girl?
26538All alone?
26538And afterward?
26538Are you angry with me, Phil?
26538Are you really hurt, Mabel? 26538 Are you sick, Captain Jules?"
26538Are you sure we can afford it, Father?
26538But who will take care of you, baby?
26538By the way, Madge, where are the houseboat girls going to spend the summer after you come to Madeleine''s wedding?
26538Can there be anything the matter with us?
26538Coming ashore to make me a call, Miss Madge?
26538Coming ashore?
26538Dear Captain Jules,she said in a wheedling tone,"you''ll help me, wo n''t you?
26538Dear me, whom are you and Phil discussing, Madge?
26538Did n''t you recognize me before?
26538Did you say that you did n''t have all the money you wanted?
26538Do Uncle and Aunt want us to leave the houseboat and come home at once?
26538Do n''t you believe I ought to begin to make up for lost time? 26538 Do n''t you want it?"
26538Do you catch many fish in these waters?
26538Do you know the story of''The Little Tin Soldier,''Tania?
26538Fish us out, somebody?
26538Girls, whatever made you stay in the water so long?
26538Has n''t every one a Fairyland, where things are just as they should be, beautiful and good and kind? 26538 Have n''t you ever heard that it is dangerous to get an old sea dog started on his adventures?
26538Have you a kingdom in Fairyland, little Tania?
26538Have you seen Tania?
26538Have you your diving suit?
26538How am I ever going to keep her out of the bottom of the sea?
26538How can you be so cruel? 26538 How much longer are you going to stay at Cape May, Miss Morton?"
26538However did you find your way here? 26538 I wonder if anything special is going to happen to us this holiday?"
26538I wonder if you wish to talk to me about the treasure that we found?
26538Is anything the matter with my girl?
26538Is it-- is it Madge?
26538Is n''t it a wonderful afternoon, Phil?
26538Is n''t that Miss Jenny Ann calling?
26538Is she your mother?
26538Is the man still in town?
26538Is your mother living?
26538It is a real commencement day mystery, is n''t it?
26538It is nearly time for the entertainment to begin, is n''t it?
26538It was simply perfect, was n''t it, Miss Jenny Ann?
26538It would be awfully jolly, would n''t it? 26538 It''s pretty early for a fellow like me to be talking about some day, is n''t it, Madge?"
26538It''s too bad about Mrs. Curtis and Tom not coming on to Cape May as soon as we expected them, is n''t it?
26538May I float along with you a little, Madge?
26538My dear child, what is the matter with you?
26538My dear,she murmured,"will you ever stop being the most reckless girl in the world?
26538Nellie, darling, what is it? 26538 Oh, dear, what was that?"
26538Oh, may we?
26538Phil, after you have spoken to the girls, will you come in to help me? 26538 Phil,"demanded Madge abruptly,"have you ever thought of what profession you would have liked to follow if you had been born a boy instead of a girl?"
26538Phil,she whispered a few seconds later, when she heard her chum stirring in the berth above her,"can you feel fins growing where your feet are?
26538Shall I tell you all I have been able to find out about Tania?
26538Shall we bring back lobsters or clams for luncheon, if we can find them?
26538Tania has behaved very well, so far, has n''t she, Madge?
26538Tania,the young man asked harshly,"have you told any one down here that you have ever seen or known me before?"
26538That is rather hard on the child, is n''t it? 26538 Tom, how long have they been under the water?"
26538Was n''t that a wonderful performance?
26538We are almost in Jersey City now, are n''t we, Madge?
26538Well, my hearties, is this a summer camp?
26538Were n''t you and Philip Holt great friends while he was Mrs. Curtis''s guest?
26538Were you once a sea captain?
26538Were you thinking about them, dear?
26538What are they?
26538What do you mean by coming here to trouble these young ladies?
26538What do you think of it all, Tania?
26538What do you wish to ask me?
26538What in the world are you doing? 26538 What is it, Tania?"
26538What is the matter, Eleanor? 26538 What made you think I was sick?"
26538What on earth is Tania about?
26538What was that you were telling me? 26538 What''s that noise?"
26538What''s that, Phil?
26538What''s the rest of the arithmetic?
26538Where is it? 26538 Where is my little Fairy Godmother?"
26538Where, Madge?
26538Who brought the car back to you?
26538Who is our latest guest, Madge?
26538Why do you think I shall marry? 26538 Why?"
26538Why?
26538Yes, yes,she returned impatiently,"but do you know whether my father is alive now?
26538You and Tom Curtis are very good friends, are n''t you, Madge?
26538You are not sorry you are going to spend the next few months with no one but two old men for company?
26538You believe in me, do n''t you, Tom?
26538You do n''t like Philip, do you?
26538You have been down to the bottom of the bay, have n''t you, Captain Jules? 26538 You hypnotize the lobsters, do n''t you?"
26538You were looking for pearls in those oysters and mussel shells when our boat came along, were n''t you?
26538You will walk home with me, wo n''t you, Philip?
26538You will, eh?
26538You''ve brought some oysters for our luncheon, have n''t you?
26538You, Tom?
26538A treasure- chest unearthed after more than two hundred years?
26538Afraid of the lobsters, are n''t you, little girl?"
26538Are n''t you glad that Uncle has been able to pay off the mortgage?
26538But we are going to have a perfectly glorious time this summer, are n''t we?
26538But what can we do for you?
26538But what could she do?
26538But what made your father go away?
26538But why did he look at her so strangely and why did not her old friend come to her to end this foolish suspense?
26538But why do you say that your father was once a captain in the United States Navy?
26538By the way, I wonder what the little witch has against him?
26538CHAPTER III TANIA, A PRINCESS"Madge, do you think there is any chance that Tom wo n''t meet us?"
26538CHAPTER IV THE UNINVITED GUEST"Are you good fairies who have strayed away from home?"
26538CHAPTER V TANIA, A PROBLEM"Do n''t you think it would be a splendid plan for Tania?"
26538Captain Jules, may I take it back to the houseboat with me as a souvenir, or do you wish it?
26538Curtis?"
26538Curtis?"
26538Dare she let go her hold on Eleanor?
26538Do n''t you remember how Miss Betsey used to say that she knew something was going to happen whenever you were about?
26538Do you suppose it was a ship''s spar?"
26538Do you wish to go on farther?"
26538Finally he asked Madge huskily,"What was your father''s name, child?"
26538Had she the strength to pull her life line once again?
26538Has any one hurt your feelings?"
26538Have any of you thought to send word to Captain Jules to ask him about Tania?
26538Have there been many wrecks in this bay?
26538Have you thought how odd it is that we wo n''t even know them if we should be introduced to them later?
26538Holt?"
26538Holt?"
26538Holt?"
26538How can it be wrong to take the money from people?
26538How could he comfort poor Tania for all she had suffered?
26538How could he have been so unwise as to entrust the safety of this girl, whose life was so dear to him, to the perils of a diver''s experiences?
26538How could she ever have believed that there was anything in the world so precious as fresh air?
26538How did he and the girls miss you?
26538How do you know that your father was guiltless of his fault?
26538How should she announce to them that her quest was ended, her victory over Fate won?
26538I know I have no right to ask it, but, but----""What is it?"
26538I thought it was rather a strange request and asked him why he did n''t borrow Tom Curtis''s car?
26538I thought you always played fair?"
26538I wonder if she is the real Madge?"
26538I wonder if there were ever any girl divers before?
26538I wonder if we shall look very''country''before so many society people?"
26538I wonder if you have ever thought of diving down to the bottom of this bay to see if it holds any treasures?"
26538I wonder where the child got such odd fancies and bits of information?
26538If he was a captain in the Navy, what made him resign his command?"
26538If one of you is ill, why have you not sent for me?"
26538If she were shut up somewhere, how could she ever talk to her fairies, or see the blue sky that she so loved?
26538If you come down to Cape May, wo n''t you please come to see us?
26538Is he dead?"
26538Is n''t it wonderful how one''s dreams come true and things turn out even better than you expect them to?
26538Is she going to college with Phil, or is she coming to be my daughter?"
26538Is that it?"
26538Is that the reason you are trying to pull mine out?
26538Madge called back,"are you all right?
26538Must we go back home, Captain Jules?"
26538My own, own Captain Jules?"
26538Oh, dear me, is n''t it too splendid that we are going to be Madeleine''s bridesmaids?
26538Oh, dear, does my breakfast gown look all right?
26538Oh, where is he?
26538Really, this morning they seemed to speak quite distinctly to Tania:"Why in the world do n''t you come to me?
26538Was her dear old captain trying to cross- examine her?
26538Was her mind affected, or was she playing a game with them?
26538Was it a rock embedded in the sand?
26538We would dearly love to hear about them, would n''t we, girls?"
26538Were you ever a deep sea diver?
26538What could have become of the child?"
26538What could she do?
26538What had happened in the outside world since she had disappeared from it a long, long time ago?
26538What have I done?"
26538What is Madge Morton going to do next fall?
26538What is that dreadful noise?
26538What is the use of bringing up this subject now, just a few minutes before our commencement begins?
26538What made Captain Jules so slow?
26538What made him hesitate so long?
26538What possible good could that wretched diving feat of yours do anybody on earth?
26538What treasures had they lost when he threw the mother- of- pearl shells away?
26538What was it?"
26538What was the dreadful roar and rumble that met their ears?
26538What would Phyllis Alden''s action suggest but that he was trying to suffocate Madge in the water below?
26538What''s wrong?"
26538When the little captain had finished she asked humbly,"Can you ever forgive me, dear?
26538Where do you suppose she learned to dance like that?"
26538Where is his letter?"
26538Who could ever tell?
26538Who knows what may happen before I am back again?"
26538Who knows when I will go down into the sea again?
26538Why ca n''t you let me have the same feeling about you?
26538Why did Tania not rise to the surface like the rest of them?
26538Why did n''t this man tell her the thing he was trying to say?
26538Why had she never thought of it before?
26538Why have you brought me here?
26538Wo n''t it be dreadful if Madeleine has to be married without our being bridesmaids after all?"
26538Wo n''t it be the greatest fun?"
26538Would Madge never begin her valedictory?
26538Would Phil have better luck when she descended to the depths of the bay?
26538Would n''t you like to be swimming down there under the water, where it is so cool and lovely and there would be nothing to trouble one?"
26538You are not going, are you?"
26538You are very well satisfied with yourself, are n''t you?"
26538You know you like Tom yourself, so why should n''t I?"
26538You never saw a diving suit, did you?
26538You''ll be careful, wo n''t you, Madge?
26538You''ll let Tom come in to see them, too, wo n''t you?"
26538_ He_ is my father?
26538asked Phil, her voice trembling,"and would you mind Tom Curtis''s asking him some questions?
26538exclaimed Lillian, before she realized what she was saying,"surely, you did n''t waste your time in bringing up such silly trifles as these?"
26538he cried gruffly, while Madge clung to one of his horny hands for support and Eleanor to the other,"what is all this nonsense I hear?
20737And are you all alone in the house, except for your servants?
20737And they have been on the way only a quarter of an hour?
20737Are n''t we glad that our little houseboat was found unharmed? 20737 Are you ill?"
20737Are you?
20737Ask Lieutenant Jimmy what happened to him after he left Old Point, Phil?
20737Boys, ca n''t you help a fellow in distress?
20737But do n''t you believe my father would wish me to keep his secret?
20737But what do you mean? 20737 But, Miss Jenny Ann-- girls,"pleaded Madge,"has it ever struck you that we do not know the time of the tide?
20737Come up to the attic with me, wo n''t you, Eleanor?
20737Did Aunt Sue want me? 20737 Did you say I did n''t dare, Tom?"
20737Do n''t we wish that we never had seen those wicked men who held Lieutenant Lawton a prisoner?
20737Do n''t you think a man ought to wish to do something for that fellow''s little girl?
20737Do n''t you think it is too late, now that we have come ashore and the places have been awarded?
20737Do n''t you think you had better get out pretty soon? 20737 Do you golf?"
20737Do you mean you have kept this box for me through shipwreck and every other kind of disaster? 20737 Do you swim?"
20737Do you think, Miss Jenny Ann,Phil inquired after a pause,"that it would do any harm if Madge and I were to sing outside this prison house to- day?
20737Does Miss Morton object to our receiving the prize?
20737Does everyone in the houseboat crowd look as well as you do?
20737Else why should he have come over here on such a night with this dirty scrap of paper? 20737 For mercy''s sake, Phil Alden, what have you there?"
20737Grandfather?
20737Guess what it is, Phil?
20737Have the men started after us?
20737Have you any idea who stole your invention, and why they should wish to keep you locked up?
20737Have you both gone crazy?
20737Have you children lived for two weeks on a desert island without learning to make what you have serve for what you desire?
20737Have you decided to be angry, after all?
20737How can we ever get into that house?
20737How dare you even insinuate anything against my grandfather? 20737 How did you become separated from us?"
20737I think the''Merry Maid''is lovely, do n''t you, Flora?
20737Is it the same young man we met at Fortress Monroe? 20737 Is n''t the world lovely, Nellie?"
20737It ca n''t be possible that we have come ashore on an untenanted island?
20737It ca n''t be that you do n''t know that, child?
20737It was real, was n''t it, Phil? 20737 Lieutenant Jimmy, wo n''t you take me to the nearest telegraph station?"
20737Lieutenant Lawton, would n''t you give most anything, run nearly any chance, if you could get back to Washington in a few days?
20737Lillian, what are you dreaming about to- night?
20737Madge, dear, what is the matter?
20737Madge, what is that over there?
20737May I keep Mother''s jewel box with me, Aunt Sue?
20737Miss Jenny Ann does not know the woods at this time of the year, does she?
20737Miss Jenny Ann, do you remember the story of Richard, the Lion- Hearted, and Blondel?
20737Mrs. Curtis,said Madge with compelling directness,"would you rather I should apologize to Flora Harris?"
20737My mistake?
20737Please allow us to write a note, then, and send it back by this boy?
20737Professor Gordon, did you not, as umpire, see that Miss Harris and Miss Paine committed a foul which disqualified them in our boat race?
20737Tell me how you happen to be here? 20737 The_ boat_?
20737Then I can depend on you?
20737Wake up, wo n''t you? 20737 We wish to know who lives in that house over there?
20737Were you looking for Lieutenant Lawton?
20737What are we to do, Phil?
20737What are you doing here?
20737What are you going to do?
20737What can it be?
20737What can we do, Miss Jenny Ann?
20737What did you have to do with cutting our houseboat adrift? 20737 What do you intend to do with this tree?"
20737What do you mean by turning up here and scaring a man out of his wits? 20737 What do you think we had better do?"
20737What do you wish this time?
20737What does it mean?
20737What ho, my hearty?
20737What is it, Flora?
20737What is the boy going to do?
20737What made you leave me when I needed you so?
20737What ought we to do?
20737What shall we do?
20737What shall we sing, Phil?
20737What time is it, Madge?
20737What was it, Phyllis?
20737What was that?
20737What were you thinking of, Madge?
20737What would you have us do?
20737When does Mrs. Curtis''s train go?
20737Where have you been, Madge?
20737Who do you suppose is hidden in that house?
20737Who''s there?
20737Who''s there?
20737Who''s there?
20737Why did I have to drop my book when I had only a few more pages to read? 20737 Why do n''t one of you speak?"
20737Why do you wish to get out?
20737Why should I allow Flora Harris the use of what we have rightfully won? 20737 Why should I apologize to her?"
20737Will you allow him to go on with us? 20737 Wo n''t Madge be proud of me?"
20737Wo n''t you let me show you to your cabins?
20737Wo n''t you please be good enough to tell us how we can get away from this island?
20737Wo n''t you please take me to your mother, Tom? 20737 You are certain that you are willing to stand by me, Miss Morton?"
20737You would n''t tell, would you, Flora?
20737****** The Range and Grange Hustlers By FRANK GEE PATCHIN Have you any idea of the excitements, the glories of life on great ranches in the West?
20737A voice called up:"Who''s there, and what can we do for you?"
20737Are n''t you glad to see me?"
20737Are you going to help me or are you going to play the coward at the last moment?"
20737At Phil''s words Lieutenant Lawton cried out in rapture:"Willing to take a chance?
20737But are you sure that you wish to tell me?"
20737But if such were the case, why had the key been secreted in the sleeve of the black velvet coat?
20737But what do you expect to feed your adopted deer on?
20737But why are you dressed so bravely?
20737But why did she continue to feel seasick?
20737But why was he so mysterious?
20737But would the houseboat ever drift near enough to shore to allow them to be seen from the land?
20737CAN WE GO TO THE RESCUE?
20737CHAPTER XVII CAN WE GO TO THE RESCUE?
20737CHAPTER XXIV THE TELLING OF THE SECRET"Must we see Flora Harris and her grandfather, Tom?"
20737Can you let me know your names, and where on the face of the earth I am kept a prisoner?
20737Can you tell us how we can get away?"
20737Could any situation be more hopelessly difficult?
20737Could it be possible that the lad had been sent to lead them out of their way?
20737Could she go to the lodge and say to Miss Jenny Ann that she had let a possible chance of rescue pass by them?
20737Do n''t you remember him in the story of Uncle Remus?
20737Do n''t you think so?"
20737Do n''t you think you had better wait until I am well enough to go with you?"
20737Do you know what a fellow''s chum means to him when he is a boy at school?"
20737Do you take us for cheats?"
20737Do you think I care so much for the sea because my father was a sailor?"
20737Do you think Miss Jenny Ann will mind if I take care of it and feed it until it is old enough to look after itself?"
20737Do you think we dare go down to the library?"
20737Does n''t every one of us in this little lodge to- night wish we were safely away from here?"
20737Else why would he have disappeared and deserted his baby daughter?
20737From whom could it have come?
20737Have you lost the key, so that you ca n''t get in?
20737How can we signal her?"
20737How could she get any information out of him?
20737How could they?
20737How do you suppose they ever came on this island?"
20737How had Madge guessed their plan?
20737How would Miss Tolliver ever open her school at Harborpoint without her four favorite pupils and one of her teachers?
20737I can not speak against----""What do you mean?"
20737I wonder how they happened to be here?
20737I wonder if Mrs. Curtis and Tom are still at Old Point Comfort?
20737I wonder if we ca n''t persuade a number of other girls to enter the race too?"
20737If Phil wished to save it, how could she manage it?
20737If you are not strong enough to get me out of this place, will you, in Heaven''s name, telegraph to the Navy Department in Washington for me?
20737It would n''t be any harm to say that we hope some one else will come to save him, would it, Phil?"
20737Lawton?"
20737Madge printed in large letters the simple words,"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
20737May I lie down on the couch in the living room?
20737Or had her mother placed it there?
20737Perhaps there would not be any ducks this year, or else no one would come to shoot them?
20737Phil wrote the word,"MAN?"
20737Phil, dear, do you think it possible that my father is alive?"
20737Shall we let him come in?"
20737Still, what can one expect from a crowd of country folks?
20737Suddenly the thought came:"Suppose I were to hear news of him while at Old Point?
20737Suppose he were known to some of the officers whose ships are stationed here?
20737Suppose these men had seen them trying to break into their house?
20737Suppose we are alone on this island?
20737Suppose we find the island so large that we can not get to the other side and back in one day, what''s the difference?
20737Suppose, after all, he did not intend to present his discovery to his Government?
20737Then she put down,"OLD?"
20737Then she rose and said demurely:"Are you ready to go, Mrs. Curtis?
20737Then she shouted at the top of her lungs,"Are you taking us home the right way?"
20737Then with a touch of malice she added,"You told me you made your houseboat from an old canal boat, did n''t you, Miss Morton?"
20737Then, holding out her hand to Tom, she said,"Do you think I could let you get away without seeing you for a minute at least?
20737To whom did the key belong?
20737Turning to Madeleine she said quietly,"Will you forgive me for having been the cause of this scene and allow me to go?"
20737Was it possible that this girl possessed valuable information concerning the affairs of Lieutenant Lawton?
20737We_ did_ see a drove of wild horses dash by us?"
20737Were she and Phil to be used as dupes?
20737What chance had tender- hearted Phil, with her dread of having anything in the world suffer, against the appeal of the forsaken creature?
20737What could Phil do?
20737What could she say?
20737What could the girls do?
20737What did it matter to a sailor the kind of a ship he sailed?
20737What did it mean?
20737What did it unlock?
20737What had become of the men that Phil had seen in the woods?
20737What had their clothes line to do with the situation?
20737What is taking you so long?"
20737What is the use in keeping them for some future time, when Nellie and I need them at the present moment?
20737What is the use of your trifling with me?
20737What must it have thought?
20737What on earth was it?
20737What possible business have we with the misfortunes of this total stranger?"
20737What was he about to do?
20737What was the matter?
20737What was there to be said?
20737What, after all, was the idle insult of a cruel girl?
20737White to the lips, she fixed Flora with the stern question,"Where did you hear this story?"
20737Who knows?
20737Who says we are not full- fledged Crusoes?"
20737Why did she always seem to be in the wrong where Flora Harris was concerned?
20737Why did you run away from me when I tried so hard to catch up with you?
20737Why did you wish to know?"
20737Why had her mother sewed it into the sleeve of the black velvet coat?
20737Why had she been afraid of these two men?
20737Why should Dixie choose this time of all others to refuse to come when she called to her?
20737Why should Lieutenant Lawton wish a young girl like Phyllis, a mere acquaintance, to guard a mysterious box for him?
20737Will every one please leave me alone?"
20737Will you ask your crew to come and stand in a line before me?"
20737Will you do it?"
20737Will you keep it for me, say for a week, or until I ask you or write to you for it?"
20737Will you not speak?"
20737Wo n''t you let me run after him?
20737Would her aunt allow her to use it?
20737Would their families give them up for lost?
20737Would they be forced to spend the winter on this deserted island?
20737Would you like to hear it?"
20737Yet how could he appoint the time and place where she could receive it if he never had a moment with her in private?
20737You may run the risk of being burned up inside the house, but are you willing to take the chance?"
20737exclaimed Madge impulsively for the second time in five minutes,"do you think it is wrong to dislike people very, very much?"
20737exclaimed Tom,"what do you mean?
20737how could they be so cruel?"
20737she queried abruptly,"do you remember what Flora Harris said to me the night before our shipwreck?"
20737wailed Madge,"when shall I learn to keep my temper?
20737where are you?"
20737why must I wait until I am grown for those silks?
4941''Coon,''possum, wildcat, whatever could it have been?
4941A book, eh? 4941 A man with a red head of hair; and you think it might be the same fellow that tried to rob us yesterday up- river?
4941A smoke ghost do n''t leave any marks behind, does it?
4941A store, eh? 4941 Ai n''t it great, Captain?"
4941And it came from ahead there; did n''t you think so?
4941And now what!?
4941And why not?
4941Another, eh?
4941Anything I can do to help you, boys?
4941Ask me something easy, will you? 4941 Besides,"he added, when making his plea,"who knows what trouble you might meet up with on the road?
4941But do you KNOW it is-- did any of those coons tell you so?
4941But how did you happen to get on to his trick, for it was you who first discovered him sitting there, and told the rest?
4941But where is he now?
4941But you did n''t say anything right away, Thad?
4941But you know there are lots of men with red hair?
4941But you remember seeing that trap after we started?
4941Did n''t I tell you I saw a face, and was n''t it a sorrel- top, too? 4941 Do I?
4941Do n''t I look like it, Cook? 4941 Do n''t s''pose now, boys, yuh seen anything o''a pair o''black sheep?
4941Do n''t they say that''s dangerous work?
4941Do you see that clump of bushes, the ones with the bully red leaves? 4941 Does that mean that the''coon has got away?"
4941Going to tie up below?
4941Guess we''ve got about enough, eh, Thad?
4941He did, eh? 4941 Hello, there, going to have a midnight meal?"
4941Hey what all this row about-- who''s been aboard during the night, and what do you miss, Mr. Cook? 4941 Hold on, there, pard; you would n''t want to chase after that critter, now, would you?
4941How are you-- feel cold?
4941How do you know that?
4941How does it go?
4941How does it look to you-- think we can make the riffle today?
4941How is it?
4941How many?
4941I say, what''s gone wrong now, Maurice, old fel?
4941I wonder how long this measly old storm is going to keep us here?
4941Is that all? 4941 Is this George''s place?"
4941Let me catch you making any more predictions of storms; wo n''t there be trouble headed your way?
4941Made up yuh mind tuh trade with me, sah?
4941Me? 4941 Meanin''the coons of the swamp?
4941Mr. Simon Buckley--"Who''s Mr. Simon Buckley?
4941Nothin''yuh- uns''d like tuh have to- night?
4941Nothing else worth telling?
4941Nothing to hinder my setting the whole outfit on the bank yonder, is there?
4941Now what are you goin''to do, pard? 4941 Oh, what is it?"
4941Perhaps you disturbed him in his game then?
4941Right where, son?
4941Say, ai n''t it enough to give a feller the shivers?
4941Say, do you mean to tell me that is a man hanging there?
4941Say, if he has as poor luck opening doors as some people I know, he never would get in here without arousing the dead; get that, Thad?
4941Say, was n''t that the funniest thing ever?
4941Say, who''d imagine now that they''d hang up an old bundle of wraps off goods, like this?
4941See here, you found that other footprint; what d''ye think of this?
4941Shall we go back, then?
4941Six?
4941So, here ye be, hey? 4941 Suppose we do n''t till dark?"
4941Sure there''s no more of''em inside that bully old cache?
4941Sure you did n''t expect to get a rat, and try and call it a bally''possum? 4941 Tell me how?"
4941That was a shout, was n''t it?
4941Then that does sometimes happen, sir?
4941Then you did n''t hear anything about it, eh? 4941 There, what was that?"
4941Thinking of more dogs, eh?
4941This is Mrs. Stormway, I reckon?
4941We want to find George Stormway''s place; can you tell us how far along it lies?
4941We want to-- is there good holding ground or a convenient tree, do you know?
4941Well, what if he is? 4941 Well, what?"
4941Were you on board then?
4941What ails you?
4941What are you going to do then?
4941What did yuh say yuh name might be, sah?
4941What do you make of it?
4941What else did you find in what he wrote?
4941What ho?
4941What if he gets to his home tree?
4941What is his name?
4941What is it?
4941What now?
4941What so sober about, Thad?
4941What''d you think you saw?
4941What''s doing here-- why all this scrimmage?
4941What''s in the wind now?
4941What''s that-- point out it''s shadow?
4941What''s that?
4941What''s the matter now; forgot something? 4941 What''s the matter now?"
4941What''s this yer grippin''in yer hand, Jeff? 4941 What''s this?"
4941What''s up?
4941Where are you going?
4941Where are you, Maurice?
4941Where can I find the man who runs the woodyard?
4941Where d''ye suppose he came from?
4941Where was he, and what was he doing?
4941Where''s your storm?
4941Where?
4941Who says-- Crusoe?
4941Who, our visitor of last night and this morning? 4941 Why did n''t he think to enclose the price of a ticket from here to New Orleans?
4941Why, I hope you did n''t think anybody would be so mean as to steal our Tramp?
4941Why, do n''t you remember what Mr. Stallings told us?
4941Why, no, of course not; but what makes you ask such a silly question as that, Thad?
4941Why, what on earth is the matter?
4941Why, whatever in the wide world are you talking about, son?
4941Would it take very much?
4941Would n''t think of what? 4941 Yes, but the water ai n''t near so sassy; do n''t you see how we are pushing the old tub in closer all the while?
4941Yes, what''s that, George?
4941You called me a weather sharp because I said it was due; and now you want me to give a guess about the end-- is that it, Maurice?
4941A funny assortment of sounds to woo a chap to sleep, eh?
4941Ai n''t I right?"
4941Ai n''t it a queer world, after all, Maurice?
4941Ai n''t we going to live high for a while?
4941And I think we''re doing that, do n''t you, Maurice?"
4941And do n''t it LOOK like it-- tell me that, Maurice?"
4941And do you suppose for one little minute that I''d be here unless you were?
4941And if the waves ran so high close to the shore what must they be far, far out yonder toward the middle of the mighty stream?
4941And look, ai n''t that some more of the bunch, topping the rise?
4941And you''re come down to go with old Uncle Ambrose to foreign ports, eh?
4941Any more where that came from, Thad?"
4941Anything doing?"
4941Are those chaps white men or coons?"
4941Are you able to leave home today?
4941But did n''t Jeff come down quick?"
4941But is it Robinson Crusoe he means when he calls that poor white dub?"
4941But what do you think of the prospects for clearing?"
4941But where''s the land, Thad?
4941But who''s this with you, son?"
4941But why do you make that remark, brother?"
4941But, I did n''t, all the same, and what''s the use bothering over it?
4941Ca n''t you just remember something that would explain it all?
4941Can you see anything of those bully old trees, partner?"
4941Can you tell me if he happens to live near by?"
4941Certain, are you, that it hung there when we went to bed?"
4941Could you borrow that mule you spoke of and go with us to Morehead?
4941D''ye hear, you big fool?"
4941D''ye want to freeze to death, boy?
4941Did it have red hair, do you know, Thad?"
4941Did n''t he say just a little to you at some time about it?"
4941Did n''t you promise to call it square?
4941Did you ever hear of such luck in all your born days?"
4941Did you ever set eyes on three more villainous mugs in all your life?
4941Do n''t you glimpse some dark clouds there?"
4941Do n''t you see what that means, Maurice?
4941Do we go on?"
4941Do you really think we could do it, Thad?"
4941Dye understand, boys?"
4941Get that?"
4941Got any''jections ter weuns warmin''up a little by dat fiah?
4941Had n''t we better hold up our arms, Maurice, and give''em to understand that we surrender?
4941Have you come to see me?"
4941He gave you the boat, but how do we know he ever meant you to have this money?
4941He may tell some others just as tough as himself; and how could we hold up our end if half a dozen tackled us?"
4941Hope the Marlin is loaded, and you picked up a few more shells for your pocket?"
4941How can I ever stand it?"
4941How do you feel about it, old man?"
4941How long do I git?"
4941How many were there in that flock?"
4941How''d he ever get here, and if he wanted to steal why did n''t he run off with something more valuable than a poor little teal?"
4941I do n''t suppose you happened to see anything suspicious around?"
4941I do n''t think that could be possible, do you?
4941I wonder if he saw me put that book away?"
4941I''d like to go the worst kind, but where would I pick up the money to pay my way?
4941I''d like tuh know right well?"
4941I''m awful glad I came, ai n''t you, pal?"
4941I''m right glad we did it; and was n''t that a hunky- dory find, though?
4941I''ve never heard you talk much about the old fellow; was he educated at all, and could he write d''ye think?"
4941If so be as yuh say, theys some good news foh George, jest congratulate him foh me, will yuh?
4941Is that it?"
4941Is the storm going down any, d''ye think, Maurice?"
4941It would be better to get some paper from Kim to secure you?"
4941Joking aside, I wonder if it was that thing fell overboard the other day when you were romping about the deck with Dixie?"
4941Just to think how things come around; for here we are right near the place poor old The wanted to visit, and carrying his little pile to Bunny?"
4941Let up easy, now, bub; drap thet gun, wo n''t yer?"
4941Now what d''ye make of all that?"
4941Now, hang it, how could a fox have come aboard our boat with twenty feet of water separating us from the shore?
4941Now, just what were you thinking about?
4941Now, what could be finer than this view, for instance?"
4941Now, what d''ye think of that?"
4941Now, when I say the word, give me a dandy push, will you?"
4941Reckons, as how yuh haint gut sech a ting as some terbaccy''bout yuh, now?
4941Say, I bet he was hopping mad when he tore open that package, and saw what he had drawn in the lottery, eh, Thad?"
4941Say, can you come down tonight, and talk it all over aboard our palatial houseboat?
4941Say, is it all right?"
4941Say, would n''t it be grand?
4941Say, would n''t it open your eyes some now if I pulled out a second one of the same?
4941See anything like regret on my phiz?
4941Should he try it?
4941Stallings?"
4941Stallings?"
4941Still in the old cove, are you?"
4941Still--""You mean that we had better be on the safe side, and keep watch?"
4941Suppose I jest hold out that odd thirty and let you take the three hundred over to Kim Stallings to keep for me till I want it?
4941That''s just fine for you, Maurice; but do n''t you think the captain forgot one thing?"
4941Then how can we ever get her in nearer the shore?"
4941Then you are the boy father used to write about?
4941Think traps grow from seed like corn?"
4941Thought tuh drap in down on the head o''this hyah youngster, did n''t yuh?
4941Was this the owner of the dead brute that lay not more than eighty or one hundred feet away?
4941Well, what did I tell yo?
4941What business have you letting such a savage dog loose?"
4941What can I do foh you?"
4941What d''ye suppose Jeff meant to do?"
4941What d''ye think; he knows your Uncle Ambrose; why once, many years ago they were together in Cuba?
4941What fur, sheriff?
4941What if we ran plump into the arms of that red- top who''s laying for us?"
4941What made him laugh this time, d''ye suppose, Thad?"
4941What on earth brings you away down here?
4941What say?"
4941What''s that over there right now, Maurice?"
4941What''s the use changing?
4941What''s the use of borrowing trouble?
4941When Bunny and Greorge saw that bunch of yellow boys, did n''t they stare though?
4941Where is it situated?"
4941Where''d you hit it?"
4941Where''s the letter from, and what does she say?"
4941Why do n''t you go on and finish?
4941Why, it seems too good to be true, does n''t it?"
4941Wonder if we''ll run up against many as bad when we journey along?"
4941Wot business he d yer ter shoot up my dawg; tell me that, consarn ye?"
4941Would you say that was anything like the breed?"
4941Ye owns up ye shooted ther pore critter, does yer?
4941Yet where is it now?"
4941You remember we ate those two ducks last night; did you expect they would turn up again this morning to be devoured over again?"
4941You said you''d keep an eye on our boat while we were gone, did n''t you?
4941You would n''t want me to let it pass, would you, Thad?"
4941he asked;"did n''t think you saw a ghost, again, eh?"
4941he exclaimed, immediately"I do n''t see it; what''s struck you now, Thad?"
4941that old gun of mine is some shooter, ai n''t she?
4941that was n''t a pleasant experience, was it?
4941the bear?"
4941what are you after now?
4941wot''s thet ye say?
4941you do n''t say so?
16253Ai n''t you going to land me somewhere else first?
16253Are n''t you ready to leave, girls?
16253Are n''t you the fellow who came alongside of me in the boat?
16253Are you awake, Madge?
16253But what about you, Lillian and Eleanor?
16253But what can we dig with, Madge? 16253 But why do you call me Mollie?
16253But, wherever we go, ca n''t you go with us?
16253Ca n''t you help me decide?
16253Ca n''t you remember your own mother?
16253Ca n''t you wait a minute?
16253Can I be of further service to you?
16253Captain Mike,she demanded coolly,"have you put your daughter in an asylum?
16253Did he strike you?
16253Did n''t you say you were hungry?
16253Did you really see who it was with me?
16253Did you say you were locked in an old cabin in the woods overnight? 16253 Do n''t you think Mrs. Curtis ought to tell Tom?"
16253Do n''t you think it can be done, Jack?
16253Do you desire to marry this''Bill''?
16253Do you know the girl''s name, Phil?
16253Do you remember when you came into the library, at school, and found me crying over a letter? 16253 Do you think any of the lamps could be leaking?"
16253Do you think it is safe for five women to be aboard that houseboat by themselves?
16253Do you think our boat has gone forever, Phil?
16253Do you usually begin the day by throwing stones at peaceful strangers?
16253Does n''t that sound conceited?
16253Does your arm pain you much?
16253Girls, what shall we call our chaperon? 16253 Girls,"spoke Phil quickly,"will you go on down to the boat and wait for me?
16253Hateful? 16253 Have I been sick a long time?
16253Have you a mother, or brothers and sisters?
16253Have you been about this place very long?
16253Have you ever heard of any one who could have locked you up in the old hut that night?
16253Have you found the boat for us?
16253Here, here, what is all this love- feast about?
16253How did you come to us? 16253 How did you happen to turn up here?"
16253How do you feel?
16253How do you like me? 16253 How much will the owner rent this boat for?"
16253I fell off the yacht, did n''t I?
16253I wanted first to ask you if I could bring my mother to call on you and your chaperon this afternoon? 16253 I wonder if it will go away again, or if she will remember more about herself when she is stronger?"
16253I wonder if you and your friends would mind walking over to the other side of the island with me to see this man? 16253 I wonder why you dislike me so, Miss Morton?"
16253I wonder, Phil, if there is a chance of our coming across the thief who attacked you on the houseboat? 16253 In the water, you mean, do n''t you?"
16253Is Mollie worse?
16253Is n''t it exactly like me?
16253Is n''t it too awful that the houseboat has to be left to its poor dear self for the rest of the summer? 16253 Is there any place on the island where we can hide, Mollie?"
16253Is there no hope?
16253Lost your boat, ai n''t you?
16253Madge will never be happy again on the''Merry Maid,''will she, girls?
16253Madge, will any one ever be able to guess what you are going to do next?
16253Madge,Phil''s voice trembled a little,"what do you suppose poor Miss Jones will think?
16253Miss Rice said we did not have to be at her house until half- past five o''clock,Phil volunteered,"so what shall we do?"
16253Mollie married?
16253Mollie''s memory has come back to her, has n''t it?
16253Mother, where are you?
16253Oh, why does n''t some one come?
16253Oh, wo n''t some one go for a doctor? 16253 Oh, wo n''t you please come with me?"
16253Ought I to tell?
16253Phil,asked Madge,"is n''t Mollie stirring?
16253Shall I open it for you?
16253Shall we call to her, or just march boldly aboard her old boat?
16253Shall we cast our anchor in Pleasure Bay?
16253Suppose we sit down there for a few minutes until we decide where to go next?
16253The old cabin looks rather creepy, does n''t it, Madge?
16253Then I wonder if your uncle and aunt would allow me to make them a short visit?
16253Then why do n''t you go into the country to board somewhere?
16253Then why not let me have a houseboat party this fall?
16253Was it I?
16253Was it you who shouted my name?
16253We thank you,said Madge slowly,"but will you give us a few days in which to decide?
16253Well,cried the other three voices in chorus,"who is it?
16253What do you mean by knocking on my window? 16253 What do you mean?"
16253What do you think we had better do, Phil?
16253What do you want with me?
16253What do you want?
16253What do you wish us to call you? 16253 What has happened to you, Madge Morton?
16253What has happened to you, Madge?
16253What has happened?
16253What have we forgotten to buy?
16253What is it, children? 16253 What is it?"
16253What is it?
16253What is the confession?
16253What is the matter?
16253What is the matter?
16253What made you think I did n''t?
16253What makes you so interested in my gal? 16253 What on earth is that?"
16253What shall we say and do when we find the man?
16253What time does your train leave?
16253What''s the matter, Madge? 16253 What-- why-- is it for me?"
16253When did the sun ever hurt you? 16253 When will she come back, Captain Mike?"
16253Where have I seen him before? 16253 Where is your father?"
16253Where''d you and that come from?
16253Where''s Phil?
16253Where?
16253Who said I meant to spend my vacation alone? 16253 Who was your visitor?
16253Who''s there?
16253Whom do you mean by''they,''and what do''they''wish you to do?
16253Why are you up so early in the morning?
16253Why did you speak to the poor girl like that?
16253Why do n''t you take Miss Morton for a sail, Tom?
16253Why do you think I am anxious to come, Madge?
16253Why has n''t Tom been here to see me? 16253 Why have you followed me through the woods?"
16253Why, Madge, what will you do?
16253Why, she----Then Phil stopped herself and inquired, with an innocent expression of interest,"Whom did you say Mollie was going to marry?"
16253Will some one please get me a glass of water?
16253Wo n''t any one here help us?
16253Wo n''t you come and eat luncheon with us?
16253Wo n''t you help us?
16253Wo n''t you please come help me down, Phil?
16253Wo n''t you please come out?
16253Wo n''t you please unbar the door for us?
16253Wo n''t you promise me that you will not tell the other girls?
16253Would n''t''Miss Ann''do?
16253Would you know the face if you saw it again?
16253Would you-- could you tell us where we can get a drink of water?
16253You do n''t mind what I have said, do you? 16253 You have n''t changed your mind, have you, Madge?"
16253You know what has happened to me, do n''t you?
16253You would he delighted to have Mr. Brown take luncheon with us, Miss Jenny Ann, would n''t you?
16253You''ll take a man''s own daughter away from him, will you?
16253Your pa?
16253After a while some friends discover the treasure for you, and give it back to you?
16253After all, was Miss Jones going to tell of last night''s adventure?
16253And I thought perhaps you and your friends and chaperon would go with us?
16253And where were Lillian and Nellie?
16253And who told you Moll was shut up with a lot of crazies?
16253And why are Phyllis and Madge so good to me?
16253Are you going to Old Point Comfort for the rest of the summer, or to your own summer place?"
16253As Tom drew nearer to the rowboat the other man in it called out:"Say, ca n''t you take me aboard?
16253Bolling?"
16253But Phil spoke up boldly:"May we see your daughter?"
16253But do n''t you want to know my plan?
16253But may I have a few days to think things over before I give you my answer?
16253But what could he do?
16253But why did Lillian and Eleanor not start the farmer boy to scrubbing?
16253But---- Why, Mrs. Curtis, what is the matter?"
16253CHAPTER VII THEIR UNKNOWN JAILER"Madge Morton, what do you mean sleeping until seven o''clock, the first morning we are on our houseboat?"
16253CHAPTER XIII LIFE OR DEATH?
16253Ca n''t you do something else for her?"
16253Could it be possible that the wind and the tide were carrying the sailboat ashore faster than she could swim?
16253Could n''t we go to see your girl some other time?
16253Curtis?"
16253Curtis?"
16253Curtis?"
16253Curtis?"
16253Did I ever dare to say that my Cousin Louisa was hateful?
16253Did you?
16253Do n''t you believe so?"
16253Do n''t you believe you would like to do something to show your gratitude?"
16253Do n''t you remember me?"
16253Do n''t you think I had better turn him over to the police?"
16253Do n''t you think Mrs. Curtis is simply beautiful?"
16253Do n''t you think we ought to ask him some questions first?"
16253Do n''t you truly think my temper is improving?"
16253Do you girls feel strong enough to walk?
16253Do you know that we have a hundred and one things to do today?"
16253Do you think Miss Jenny Ann would mind my taking the poor girl a basket of nice things?
16253Do you think her horrible old father has put her in an asylum?
16253Do you think we can make it?"
16253Does it make you care more for me because poor, lovely Mollie is so ill, and because it might just as easily have been me, or Phil, or Lillian?"
16253Had n''t she and Madge vowed within themselves and to each other never to ask a man''s help in anything they planned to do?
16253Had not Madge saved her son''s life?
16253Had she not told Mollie to slip a note under this carpet if she was ever in trouble or in danger and desired their help?
16253Had some horrible disaster overtaken them, just as they were about to start on their adventures?
16253Have n''t you guessed, that I want you to come to live with me, to be my daughter?
16253Have n''t you noticed that our chaperon has been very much interested in art lately?
16253Have you an enemy about here?"
16253Have you gone entirely crazy?"
16253Have you seen Captain Mike?"
16253He called, in an even more friendly fashion,"Have n''t you that match?"
16253How did you happen to turn up in this particular place?"
16253How do you think you are going to take care of Moll-- knock me and Bill and my old woman down and run off with Moll?"
16253How far are we from Fisherman''s Island?"
16253I have gained ten pounds in six weeks; that is a record, is n''t it?"
16253I wonder which one of us can be spared to go and hurry him along?"
16253If all the two hundred dollars went for the houseboat, what were they to do for food?
16253Is it''yes''?"
16253Is n''t it horrid?"
16253Is there anything we ought to do for her?"
16253Jack, where did you come from?"
16253LIFE OR DEATH?
16253Now, are you?"
16253O, girls, what shall we do?"
16253Or was it the wind?
16253Phil told the story,"What shall we do with our prisoner, Mr. Brown?
16253Phyllis Alden had just time to grasp her own notebook firmly with both hands before she exclaimed:"Madge Morton, whatever has happened to you?
16253Please tell me what fun we could have on our holiday if we never dared to go ten feet away from the houseboat?"
16253Shall we ask poor Miss Jones to go with us?
16253She forgot so much-- would she forget this?
16253So the question must soon arise: What could be done with Mollie when the crew of the"Merry Maid"disbanded?
16253Suppose Mollie should not understand the Judge''s question and make the wrong answer?
16253Suppose she should not even recall the struggle of yesterday?
16253Suppose the poor girl had been bullied into submission?
16253Suppose we take a long walk this afternoon and explore the woods back of us?"
16253Suppose you should take me away to live with you, and then grow tired of me?"
16253Tell me, is there nothing I can do to induce you to remain with me a little longer?"
16253Tell me, tell me what I must do?"
16253That does n''t sound very practical, does it?
16253That is our plan, is n''t it, Madge?"
16253The next question was, how many girls were on board and where were they?
16253Then in a graver tone she added,"What do you think we had better do, Madge?"
16253There, did you hear that?"
16253They seemed to say,"Why not decide now, and make us happy?"
16253Want me for anything?"
16253Was it Bill or her father come to steal her away?
16253Was it for the girl on the bed to speak again?
16253Was that boy a stranger to you?
16253What are you doing here?"
16253What could have happened to her?
16253What could have happened?
16253What could they do?
16253What do you care about where you land?
16253What do you think of it?"
16253What good would finding the boat do me if I were to die of hunger before I have even seen it?"
16253What harm could come from their calling on the poor, half- crazed girl?
16253What has happened?"
16253What have you got there?"
16253What luck have you had?"
16253What was the noise they heard all at once?
16253What was this new item of expense that threatened to eat up their little capital?
16253What we wish now is to ask you what has become of your pretty daughter?
16253Where can we go, and what can we do?"
16253Where have you been?"
16253Where is Phil?"
16253Where is my mother?
16253Who is that queer- looking customer coming this way?"
16253Who told you she was treated mean?
16253Why are you so affectionate with me all of a sudden?
16253Why did n''t you call one of us if he frightened you?"
16253Why did n''t you tell me?
16253Why did that lazy farmer boy not get to his work?
16253Why do you girls look so strangely at me?"
16253Why does n''t she come to me?"
16253Why does n''t she come up?"
16253Why had the two young women concealed themselves unless they meant to guard the fugitive Mollie?
16253Why in the world should Mrs. Curtis wish to go to"Forest House"?
16253Why should she wish to take me away for''keeps''?"
16253Will you keep me here with you until I can take my daughter home?"
16253Will you please take us out to look at the boat?"
16253With your eyes open you see only an ugly canal boat; with them closed, ca n''t you see our houseboat?"
16253Wo n''t you come to see me and my friends?
16253Wo n''t you girls please call me something else while we are having our holiday together?
16253Would you be kind enough to lend me a match?"
16253Would you girls mind going around to the other side of the island?
16253Would you like to earn a quarter?
16253You know I am sorry I used to be so disagreeable to you at school, and you do like me now, do n''t you?"
16253You know how to write, do n''t you?
16253how do you do?"
16253tell us, dear Ship, where we can find you?"
16253what shall we do?
30401A microwave dish?
30401Any chance the line may be bugged?
30401Any other details you remember? 30401 Any theories?"
30401Anything new on the sighting data?
30401Are we in a hurry?
30401Are you any relation to Link Harris?
30401Are you holding out on us? 30401 Are you telling me Lefty Camillion has turned scientist?"
30401Be fun to go up one of these rivers to the source, would n''t it?
30401Be interesting if there was a picture of Calvert''s Favor, would n''t it?
30401Bodyguard?
30401But if altitude is n''t important, why use a rockoon? 30401 But lots of people see them?"
30401But what else can we try?
30401But when? 30401 But where is he?"
30401But why? 30401 But why?"
30401By providing cover?
30401Can we ride it out if we have to?
30401Come to watch me crab?
30401Could Orvil have put the finger on us?
30401Did I fall asleep? 30401 Did n''t expect that?
30401Did n''t you?
30401Did you dig deep enough?
30401Did you ever see anything like it, Rick?
30401Did you feel that?
30401Did you get a phone call after we left?
30401Did you hear that? 30401 Did you say fired at the proper time, or proper altitude?"
30401Did you?
30401Do you know that white- haired man at the table near us?
30401Do you know where Calvert''s Favor is?
30401Do you suppose Orvil Harris will be around?
30401Do you suppose the white- haired man is just a familiar type and we''ve never seen him before?
30401Eat out?
30401Ever report these sightings to the authorities?
30401Ever see any flying saucers in this area?
30401Flying stingarees? 30401 Going to try again?"
30401Got spear guns?
30401Got the answer, Rick?
30401He did n''t drown?
30401Hello?
30401Hello?
30401Help how?
30401How about some kind of experimental aircraft?
30401How about that place we passed just before we got to Cambridge? 30401 How about the stake with the rope on it?"
30401How are we going to recover it first?
30401How are you going to make smoke?
30401How big''s the company?
30401How could he have been so stupid?
30401How did it happen?
30401How does a stingaree fly?
30401How high an altitude would the rocket reach?
30401How long ago did this happen?
30401How should I head the columns?
30401How''s the bodyguard?
30401Howdy, Rick? 30401 If it was a kite, where was it launched and why?"
30401If it''s only fair now, what must it be like when it''s good?
30401In a creek? 30401 Is n''t that Orvil''s boat?"
30401Is there any regularity in the sightings? 30401 Is there any way of getting to Calvert''s Favor, or within watching distance, without going up this creek?"
30401Is your business connected with ours?
30401It''s nice to relax and have our children do the work and the thinking, is n''t it?
30401Know where we are?
30401Normal exposure?
30401Now suppose you tell me what happened last night? 30401 Now that you woke me up to look at a fish, suppose you tell me where we are?
30401Now, how about showing us over this estate of yours?
30401Or hydrogen?
30401Or is it just one?
30401Pretty murky down there?
30401Ready to go?
30401Really?
30401Remember where you''ve seen yonder diner?
30401Remember? 30401 Rick?
30401Rick? 30401 See any stores on the way where we could ask again?"
30401Seen any recently?
30401Seen many flying saucers around here?
30401So? 30401 Speakin''of whence and whither, what''s your destination?"
30401Take bearings?
30401Testing our patience again?
30401Then how did you know?
30401Then where did he go?
30401Think he might be some kind of public figure?
30401Think we''ll get to Steve''s tonight?
30401Think we''re far enough north?
30401Under those guns?
30401Volunteering for the hardest job?
30401Want to eat out? 30401 Want to plan the operation?"
30401We could n''t see the mansion from the boat?
30401We could,Scotty agreed,"but do we need to?
30401Well,she greeted him,"how are you this morning?"
30401What aperture?
30401What are the flying stingarees?
30401What are you trying to find?
30401What are you waiting for?
30401What data?
30401What did you hope to gain?
30401What do they act like?
30401What do you know about Calvert''s Favor?
30401What happened?
30401What ideas do you have?
30401What is it?
30401What more could an instructor want than students who know the answers before the questions are asked? 30401 What time is it?"
30401What time is it?
30401What was it?
30401What was that word you used? 30401 What''ll I do for clothes?"
30401What''s up?
30401What?
30401When do you have to leave?
30401When?
30401Where are all the clams?
30401Where is Lefty?
30401Where was your brother when he saw it?
30401Where''d you hear about Link?
30401Where''s the balloon?
30401Where?
30401Which bank?
30401Which one of the old mansions?
30401Who says stingarees have to fly on schedule?
30401Who''s hurt?
30401Why did you do it?
30401Why do n''t you believe the story about Link Harris?
30401Why is he a chump?
30401Why on earth did n''t you include it in the chart?
30401Why send up a rockoon at all? 30401 Why?"
30401Wonder how long they last?
30401Wonder what happened to Orvil?
30401Would Link have gone away of his own accord?
30401Would you say they were diamond- shaped, dark in color, with tails?
30401Yes, but how?
30401Yes? 30401 You actually went in?"
30401You catch one, bring it to the Narrows, will you? 30401 You certain it did n''t have a string?"
30401You disappointed? 30401 You honestly mean someone was kidnaped by a flying saucer?"
30401You know how these work?
30401You swallow that yarn?
30401You''ve met him?
30401And how do you get distance, when the sightings are all within a circle only a few miles in diameter?"
30401And why are they launched?"
30401And why are they not flying saucers?"
30401Any bottles of Coke around?"
30401Any danger of you comin''up under me?"
30401Any man?
30401Any questions?"
30401Anything else, Cobb?"
30401Anything else?"
30401Anything else?"
30401Are you with me?"
30401As the two changed, Rick asked,"Suppose we find something, but ca n''t get it up without help?
30401Ask your grandfather where Calvert''s Favor is located, will you?"
30401But if stingarees do n''t fly, he asked himself, what looks like a stingaree and_ does_ fly?
30401But what?"
30401But why did n''t Steve put out the fire?
30401But why would a strange assortment of characters like Merlin and company send up balloons?"
30401But would Brant ever let go of evidence?
30401But would Orvil continue crabbing?
30401By the way, have you had any trouble with flying stingarees?''"
30401By the way, when does the hunting season open for flying stingarees?''"
30401Could n''t he have gone ashore and walked out of the area?
30401Could what you saw have been a kite?"
30401Did n''t you suggest a kite made of dark plastic?
30401Did you bring gear?"
30401Did you find anything?"
30401Did you round up the whole gang?"
30401Did you think we were standing here waiting for flying saucers to land?"
30401Do they occur every three, four, or five days, or once a week on Mondays?
30401Do you boys want to take a hand?"
30401Do you have any reason to think he may be tied up with the flying stingarees or saucers?"
30401Do you know something we do n''t?"
30401Do you remember when it was?"
30401Do you suppose the thing dropped its payload right next to us?"
30401Enough said?"
30401Everything going all right?"
30401Got a line to put on it?"
30401Got your plans all made?"
30401Grain?"
30401Had the crabber tried to kill them?
30401Had your breakfast?"
30401Harris asked,"Sure you can find your way underwater in the dark?"
30401He asked anxiously,"Are you all right?"
30401He said, with some exasperation,"Well?
30401How about a little television tonight?"
30401How about letting us in on the secret, Jimmy?"
30401How about some terrapin stew?"
30401How are you feeling?"
30401How are you going to arrange the data?"
30401How big was it?"
30401How could Lefty use data like that?
30401How did those hoods get the number, anyway?"
30401How did you signal, by the way?"
30401How do we mark the place?"
30401How do you feel?"
30401How do you like your coffee?"
30401How does the rocket know when to fire?"
30401How does your face feel?"
30401How far do you think it is to the duck blind?"
30401How far would bubbles and glow be visible?
30401How had he known?
30401How large an object can be seen readily at what distance?
30401How sure are you that the object was black?"
30401How''s the anchor?"
30401In here or out there?"
30401Is Wallops Island involved somehow?"
30401Is n''t that it?"
30401Is that more precise and acceptable, Donald?"
30401It''s a matter of secrecy, is n''t it?
30401McDevitt, what about the rocket?"
30401More crab cakes?"
30401Mrs. Brant asked,"Where are we going, Rick?"
30401No man with any sense would get out of a boat and go ashore into marshland, now would he?
30401Now, why do the balloons carry radio equipment?
30401Okay, where are those two pictures?"
30401Okay?"
30401Okay?"
30401On impulse, Rick called,"Come aboard and have some coffee?"
30401Or cook a steak in the yard?"
30401Or could they?"
30401Or shall we eat at Knapps Narrows?
30401Or, Rick wondered, had Orvil tipped off the two guards that divers were below?
30401Orvil''s?
30401Placing the tray on the table, the waiter asked,"Anything else?"
30401Ready for visitors?"
30401Rick asked,"What''s a balloon?
30401Scotty asked,"How about crab cakes for breakfast?"
30401Seriously, Rick, are you all right?
30401Someone investigating the houseboat?
30401Sound all right?"
30401That he was really toted off by some mysterious object?
30401That why you picked this creek to anchor in when there''s so many nicer ones upstream?"
30401Think your stake will be long enough?"
30401Want anything else?"
30401Want gas?"
30401Want to rustle up something?
30401Want to take a shot?"
30401Was the one you saw carrying anything?"
30401Was the someone on the boat, or ashore?
30401Well, are we going to sit here all night?"
30401What data does it receive and transmit, and what do the people at the mansion do with it?"
30401What do they call''em here?
30401What do you assume?
30401What does it add up to?"
30401What else would make a stingaree fly?"
30401What else?"
30401What had drawn them?
30401What had happened to Orvil?
30401What had happened?
30401What happened to him?"
30401What happened?
30401What happens?"
30401What is all this?"
30401What makes the stingaree fly?"
30401What makes things seem to grow smaller?"
30401What time in the afternoon was it?"
30401What''s the next step?"
30401What''s the reason?"
30401What''s wrong with it?"
30401When''d you see one?"
30401Where could he hide it?
30401Where do you suppose Steve is?"
30401Where does the line go?"
30401Where you headed?"
30401Who else did they know who could help?
30401Who knows what''s in a man''s mind?
30401Who was shooting?
30401Who were the divers and what were they after?
30401Who''s the man in the plaid jacket?
30401Why do n''t you give us something hard to do?
30401Why do the stingarees fly?"
30401Why launch a kite that has no string?"
30401Why not use a rocket launched directly from the ground?"
30401Why send up rockoons?
30401Worried?"
30401Would a piece of fish line work?
30401Would it be polite to ask why you''re interested?"
30401Would they send up a balloon that did n''t carry something?"
30401Would you say it was big enough to catch a man?"
30401You call that late?"
5948A funny noise?
5948A gold miner?
5948A harness?
5948A secret?
5948After all the work you had catching them?
5948Ah, what can I do for you to- day?
5948Am anyt''ing de mattah?
5948Am it all done, honey lamb?
5948And I can take it on the houseboat, ca n''t I?
5948And I suppose you''ll take down that wire fence, and let Mr. Bobbsey and the twins go past-- after a while?
5948And Snoop? 5948 And are we going to take Snap along?"
5948And are you sure it was n''t Snoop, Dinah?
5948And can I be a fireman?
5948And can we have picnics, and take our lunch?
5948And did n''t I see you, the time I fell overboard?
5948And did n''t he buy from you the lumber to build his house?
5948And have you been here ever since?
5948And is it ours now, Papa?
5948And leave us alone?
5948And me, too?
5948And so that was your secret?
5948And so the boy ran away?
5948And the man ca n''t tie us in with wire again, can he?
5948And was it you who took the things?
5948And we ca n''t go up or down it?
5948And when will we start through Lemby Creek toward Lake Romano?
5948And where shall we spend the rest of our vacation?
5948And will he dig gold?
5948And will we sail across the ocean?
5948And you are n''t going to let us pass?
5948And you wo n''t forget about trying to give that boy a ride home?
5948And you''ve been on board ever since?
5948And-- and did you see any rats in the cellar?
5948Are n''t any of your wagons going that way?
5948Are n''t you coming, Dinah?
5948Are we all right now?
5948Are we going on the houseboat sooner than we expected?
5948Are we going to have it for supper, Freddie?
5948Are we going to live in it?
5948Are we going to travel all night?
5948Are you a farmer?
5948Are you going to start up the engine again?
5948Are you looking for some one?
5948Are you talking secrets?
5948Back so soon? 5948 But have you looked everywhere, Dinah?"
5948But how are we going to get to Lake Romano?
5948But it''s a good engine, is n''t it?
5948But what are you going to do, Nan, dear? 5948 But what could have happened?"
5948But what did you intend to do?
5948But where is the driver of the wagon?
5948But where''s the fish?
5948But who did it?
5948But whom do you mean, Flossie?
5948But why not, Dinah?
5948But why wo n''t you let us pass?
5948But with the door shut, and the window opening out on the water?
5948But, if he did n''t, who did?
5948Ca n''t go any farther? 5948 Ca n''t you find some way to give him a ride back?"
5948Ca n''t you get her back again?
5948Ca n''t you stop that?
5948Ca n''t you take me down and show me over the boat?
5948Ca n''t you take some strong string, to tie Snap to the wagon, instead of the straps, Freddie?
5948Can you do anything for him?
5948Come on, Bert, ca n''t you show us over the boat now?
5948Come through a door? 5948 Company, eh?"
5948Could you go to sea in this boat?
5948Did Flossie go after a fish?
5948Did he get a ride to Lemby?
5948Did he-- did he hit him very hard?
5948Did the storm take us far back down the creek?
5948Did you ever hitch him to your express wagon before, Freddie?
5948Did you fall asleep there, Flossie, and were you dreaming, when you fell in?
5948Did you find those corn muffins?
5948Did you look under the sofa for the straps?
5948Did you manage to get that poor boy a ride?
5948Did you plan a trip?
5948Do n''t we have to go to school any more?
5948Do n''t you want to get in my boat, too, Snap?
5948Do n''t you want to go, Snoop?
5948Do n''t you want to walk around a bit?
5948Do what, mamma?
5948Do you mean you are going to harness up Snap?
5948Do you see something?
5948Do you think it was a rat?
5948Do you think it''s going to rain?
5948Do you think there is?
5948Does he really own this water?
5948Does she?
5948Go to sea? 5948 Going?
5948Good news?

5948Had n''t you better stop the boat?
5948Has anything happened, Bert?
5948Have any of the children fallen in?
5948Have you bought the boat?
5948Have you caught any fish yet?
5948Have you lost some more sandwiches?
5948Have you seen Snap?
5948Have you time to take us down to it? 5948 He''s a nice boy, is n''t he?"
5948He-- he wo n''t whip him any more, will he?
5948How can you make a harness out of bits of string?
5948How did it break loose?
5948How did it happen?
5948How did it happen?
5948How did you come on our boat?
5948How did you come to put water in your engine, when mamma has told you not to do so in the house?
5948How do you know?
5948How?
5948How?
5948Hurt me? 5948 I give up-- what is it?"
5948I like him, do n''t you, mamma?
5948I paid you for it, did n''t I?
5948I wonder how Snap is going to like it?
5948I wonder how we can get them out? 5948 I wonder if he has a good supper after his long walk this morning?"
5948I wonder if he will really try to make his way out west?
5948I wonder if that boy Will took his fishing rod with him? 5948 I wonder if there are any fish in this lake?"
5948I wonder what became of it?
5948I wonder what has become of that poor runaway boy?
5948I wonder what those children are up to now?
5948I wonder where he is to- night, in this storm?
5948I''m-- I''m sorry-- but did I hurt you?
5948In th''right? 5948 Is Snap all right, mamma?"
5948Is anybody hurt?
5948Is everything all right?
5948Is he hungry?
5948Is it a big boat, Papa?
5948Is it a high waterfall at Lake Romano?
5948Is it raining yet?
5948Is it somebody come to take the boat away from us?
5948Is n''t that a noise?
5948Is n''t that the name of the place where that boy came from?
5948Is n''t this fun?
5948Is that all you''re going to tell us, Nan?
5948Is the boat all right?
5948Is the fishing good?
5948Is the lumber yard on fire again?
5948It is n''t ended yet, is it, Dorothy?
5948Kittens?
5948Let me see,spoke Mr. Murphy slowly,"is n''t his name Jake Hardee?"
5948Let''s go aboard-- where''s the gang- plank?
5948Mamma, who do you think it could have been?
5948May I have another marshmallow, Nan?
5948May I take my fire engine along?
5948May we go close up and see the cataract?
5948Nan and I are going to have a marshmallow roast, when we go on shore near the waterfall, and we wo n''t give you boys a single one, will we, Nan?
5948No?
5948None of the children hurt?
5948Not hurt a bit, are you, Freddie?
5948Nothing has happened to the boat, has there, Richard?
5948Now the question is: What are we to do? 5948 Oh, Flossie, whatever did you do it for?"
5948Oh, I''ll soon catch some more for her, wo n''t we, Harry?
5948Oh, back so soon?
5948Oh, but what fun we''ll have on the houseboat, wo n''t we, Bert?
5948Oh, he did, hey?
5948Oh, is there a real bird on the boat?
5948Oh, mamma, when do you think we can go in our boat?
5948Oh, may I have this room?
5948Oh, so you own the creek here, do you?
5948Oh, was it?
5948Oh, well, the houseboat does n''t leak, does it?
5948Oh, what can it be?
5948Oh, what has happened?
5948Oh, what has happened?
5948Oh, you mean for our picnic, Dinah?
5948Our houseboat adrift?
5948Puppies?
5948Really?
5948Richard, has anything happened?
5948Saw whom?
5948Snap and Snoop are n''t quarreling, are they?
5948Snap?
5948So it was you who took the things, and who made the noises that frightened Dinah?
5948So it was you, hiding in the closet that made Snap act so funny?
5948Somebody fell overboard?
5948Sure you do n''t want them?
5948That fence was n''t across the creek before, was it?
5948The corn muffins that were left over?
5948The sandwiches, Dinah?
5948Then can he stop Harry and me from catching fish?
5948There''s no water in the woods for her to fall in, is there, mamma?
5948They can so-- can''t they, papa?
5948Try what?
5948Wa''al, s''posin''I did?
5948Was-- was it a baby crying?
5948Well, I mean that Dinah says a plate of sandwiches was just taken, and you remember the time the corn muffins were missing?
5948Well, are we really going up the creek?
5948Well, did anything happen while we were gone?
5948Well, is n''t that enough?
5948Well, what shall we do now?
5948Were you frightened when you fell down and saw the lumber team coming toward you?
5948Were you thinking of any one in particular?
5948What about our cat, Snoop?
5948What about something to eat?
5948What about the fishes?
5948What are you doing?
5948What are you going to do?
5948What boy?

5948What is the matter?
5948What is there to be afraid of, just in a noise?
5948What kind of bait do you use?
5948What made you think so?
5948What mystery?
5948What shall we do?
5948What was it like?
5948What was it, then, that made the noise?

38609Have you that trick mule yet-- Uncle Josh? 38609 How could you expect a rubber bag full of water to hold you up?
38609How did you get here?
38609How did you get up there?
38609How did you hear it?
38609How do you know that?
38609How do you like that, Ruth?
38609How do you like the trip so far?
38609How does that plan appeal to you, Minerva?
38609How in the world did you get here? 38609 How many''d you say?
38609How many?
38609How much do I owe you?
38609How''s the motor?
38609How?
38609If they are not guilty why do they always hurry away when they see us?
38609If they cut up such didoes here, what''ll they do then?
38609In where?
38609Is Hank on hand?
38609Is anything the matter?
38609Is he really found?
38609Is it anything important, Agnes?
38609Is it dragging?
38609Is it in-- er-- his official capacity?
38609Is it yours?
38609Is n''t Dot queer to cling still to her dolls?
38609Is n''t Hank going to eat, and the mules, too?
38609Is n''t that strange?
38609Is n''t there a motor boat around here-- a police boat or something? 38609 Is she broken?"
38609Is she-- is she drowned?
38609Is that your boat over there?
38609Is the motor all right?
38609Is there any news about your father?
38609Is there anything I can do?
38609Is this a ship?
38609Is this craft libeled? 38609 Is this our mule now?"
38609Is this really the lake?
38609Is this where we take the boat?
38609It needs some one on board to look after it, does n''t it?
38609It''s about--"The Jackson case?
38609It''s like a moving picture, is n''t it?
38609It''s like a small- sized canal boat, is n''t it?
38609Me?
38609Mr. Howbridge is almost like a boy himself on this trip, is n''t he?
38609Need any help?
38609Now, what''s all this about?
38609Oh, I just love a circus; do n''t you, Alice?
38609Oh, are we going on the trip--_now_--after the robbery?
38609Oh, are we?
38609Oh, ca n''t he?
38609Oh, ca n''t we go?
38609Oh, could I fish, too?
38609Oh, dear, why did they let them do such an awful thing as that?
38609Oh, do you think he''ll get loose?
38609Oh, do you think it could be one of ours that the men took? 38609 Oh, is n''t he?"
38609Oh, please ca n''t I stay?
38609Oh, shall we be able to move soon?
38609Oh, what was that?
38609Oh, will you excuse me?
38609Shall I get him?
38609Shall I put her on?
38609Shall I start?
38609She might smother, and how could she get out to play with her kittens?
38609Some one in there?
38609Tess had a string to it and--"Oh, is that what the string was?
38609The men we saw at the lock?
38609Then how would you like to take charge?
38609Then you did strike it rich after all?
38609Then you have decided to take my offer?
38609There''s Neale and--"What''s that?
38609Trumbull? 38609 Uncle Josh?
38609Want me to do any errands for you, Ruth?
38609Was their boat registered?
38609Well now, who is going to have first luck?
38609Well, are n''t you going to help me fish any more?
38609Well, can anybody do this?
38609Well, do we start soon?
38609Well, it will be delightful, do n''t you think?
38609Well, shall we travel on?
38609Well, the lady is real, and we can go inside and see her; ca n''t we, Ruth?
38609Well, the question now arises,said Mr. Howbridge,"what shall we do with this mule, which seems to have been stolen?"
38609Well, what about it, Minerva?
38609Well, what am I to do if I fall overboard off the_ Bluebird_, I''m asking you?
38609Well, what have you to say to that?
38609Well, where''s the money-- where''s the cash?
38609Were those your two sons we saw in a motor boat back there in the cove?
38609Were you almost drowned?
38609What about them?
38609What about your Civic Betterment Club?
38609What are you doing; fishing?
38609What are you driving at?
38609What can it be?
38609What can it mean?
38609What can they have been doing?
38609What did I tell you, Neale O''Neil?
38609What did you see?
38609What did you want of flour?
38609What do you mean?
38609What do you mean?
38609What do you mean?
38609What do you mean?
38609What do you say, Neale? 38609 What happened?"
38609What happened?
38609What has happened?
38609What has happened?
38609What has he to do with our vacation-- unless he''s going along?
38609What in the world do you mean?
38609What in the world does she mean?
38609What in the world is a waukrife minnie?
38609What in the world is a''waukrife minnie''?
38609What in the world were you doing?
38609What is it, Neale?
38609What is it, boys?
38609What is it, lass?
38609What is it? 38609 What is it?"
38609What is it?
38609What is that?
38609What is the matter?
38609What makes you say that?
38609What men?
38609What of the night, Watchman?
38609What other men?
38609What seems to be the trouble with the young lady?
38609What shall it be about?
38609What shall we do?
38609What shall we do?
38609What shall we do?
38609What sort of boat was it?
38609What sort of men?
38609What was his idea?
38609What was it, Tessie?
38609What was it?
38609What was it?
38609What was that?
38609What were you trying to do, children?
38609What were you two doing? 38609 What window?"
38609What would your mother and father say?
38609What''s That?
38609What''s he saying?
38609What''s that?
38609What''s the game?
38609What''s the matter with Neale?
38609What''s the matter, Hank?
38609What''s the matter? 38609 What''s the matter?"
38609What''s the matter?
38609What''s up?
38609What, O''Neil; the Klondiker?
38609When''d you get on the lot?
38609Where ha''ye been? 38609 Where is Hank going to sleep?"
38609Where is Hank now?
38609Where is this man Dayton now, Neale?
38609Where''d you get this mule?
38609Where''s Neale?
38609Where?
38609Who are you, anyhow, and what do you mean by talking that way?
38609Who signed that letter?
38609Who''s here, and what has he?
38609Who''s that?
38609Why are n''t we moving?
38609Why could n''t we hire Hank Dayton for a mule driver?
38609Why did you do it? 38609 Why do you ask?"
38609Why does n''t Hank start that motor?
38609Why does n''t it hold?
38609Why not try this island first?
38609Why not?
38609Why not?
38609Why, have they been robbing your hen roost, too?
38609Why, have we lost any money?
38609Why, yes, have n''t you?
38609Will there be any trouble about getting the houseboat through?
38609Will ye gang a''wa''to the store the noo?
38609Will you be able to help us get her afloat?
38609Will you be back again this evening?
38609Will you go and look at her, and then we can make a bargain?
38609With a lot of gold?
38609With any message?
38609Wo n''t you stay to tea?
38609Wot''s matter?
38609Would you like me to?
38609Would you like one of them?
38609Ye no ken''waukrife minnie''?
38609You have an object?
38609You have?
38609You mean the ones who robbed us?
38609You say the anchor is dragging, Neale?
38609You''re through with the Klondike; are n''t you?
38609_ Me?_"You, and all of you!
38609And a boat on the canal is a canal boat, is it not?
38609And how about asking Luke Shepard and his sister Cecile?"
38609And what possessed you to put on your bathing suit?"
38609And why, above all things, bring the goat?"
38609And yet, why should he hide a ring?
38609Are n''t you ashamed of yourself?"
38609Are you sure, Ruth, that these are the same men who robbed you?"
38609But before this could be done Hank turned, and, making a megaphone of his hands, called:"Say, do you folks want to buy a good mule cheap?"
38609But tell me, do you find this method of travel too slow?"
38609But what am I to do?
38609CHAPTER XXII ON THE ISLAND"What''s the matter?
38609Can you give us any further particulars?"
38609Did you say the man came out of our hallway?"
38609Do n''t I get anything?"
38609Do n''t you want to hear it?"
38609Do you really think we can go?"
38609Do you still want to arrest me?"
38609Do you think Hank is in with them, and wants his share of the''swag''as one man called it?"
38609Do you want to be bothered with an extra mule?"
38609Do you want to stay here?"
38609For the land''s sake, are n''t you going to stop?"
38609Have n''t I got a string on her?"
38609He has n''t forgotten that or me; have you, old fellow?"
38609He''s been seeking his fortune for quite a while now, and--""Neale, do you mean to say he has come back?"
38609How did he make out in Alaska?"
38609How did it happen?
38609How did it happen?"
38609How did it happen?"
38609Howbridge?"
38609Howbridge?"
38609However, if I can make this mule do a trick I taught old Josh in the show, that ought to prove what I say, ought n''t it?"
38609I believe you received a letter telling you to make this raid, did you not?"
38609I called to you, and--""Was it all only a dream, dear?"
38609I only hope--""What?"
38609I wonder how close it is?
38609If they come here--""What''s the matter?"
38609Is he around-- Uncle Bill, I mean?"
38609Is he back from the Klondike?
38609Is it good?"
38609Is n''t this fun, though?"
38609Is that your boat?"
38609Is your doll much damaged, Dot?"
38609It fought its way across the deck to the wheel and a voice asked:"Are we making progress, Neale?"
38609It is n''t Friday, is it?"
38609Look, Agnes, do n''t you remember them?"
38609Mac?"
38609Mr. Howbridge, who was talking to Ruth and Agnes, looked up from a book of accounts he was going over with them and inquired:"What''s the matter?"
38609Neale, ca n''t you get up steam and take after them?"
38609Neale, do you think you can manage that motor?"
38609Neale, would you know the men if you saw them again?"
38609Now do you want to help me put them into vases in the library?"
38609Now shall we clean up?"
38609Now then, Mr. Howbridge, will you help?"
38609Now, Neale, you say this mule driver has come back?"
38609Now, how does that suit you?"
38609O''Neil?"
38609O''Neil?"
38609Oh, are we lost?"
38609Oh, my dear, what has happened?"
38609Please, Ruth, may I have two glasses?"
38609Really, have you?"
38609Seven-- two halves?
38609Shall I speak to him about it when he comes to advise us how to form our Civic Betterment Club?"
38609That is, unless you feel you must get back to the Corner House, Martha?"
38609That''s the proper term, ai n''t it?"
38609The boy was pulling at the anchor rope when he heard Hank''s voice near him asking:"What''s the matter, Neale?"
38609The one I taught to play dead?"
38609The question that''s puzzling me is, what shall we do with him?"
38609Then she gave them, with all the burring of which her tongue was capable:"Whare are you gaun, my bonnie lass, Whare are you gaun, my hinnie?
38609They may come, may they not, Miss Ruth?"
38609Well, Tom and Henry, any luck?"
38609Well, have n''t we time to run down with it now before Mr. Howbridge comes?"
38609What can the child mean?"
38609What do you mean?"
38609What ever possit it ye twa gang an''reesk their lives this way, ye tapetless one?"
38609What fish?
38609What has happened?"
38609What sort of boat did you say?"
38609What were you doing?"
38609Where can I find him?"
38609Where do I come in?"
38609Where is he?
38609Where is he?
38609Where is it?"
38609Where is she?"
38609Where''s that?"
38609Where''s the keeper of the lock?
38609Where?
38609Who was it?"
38609Whut''s meanin''wi''the rattlin''an''thumpin''?"
38609Why are you acting in this way?
38609Why did n''t you hold the barrel?"
38609Why not?"
38609Why should a mule fall into the canal?"
38609Why were you putting her in the barrel, anyhow, Tess?"
38609Will you hang her up in the sun for me so she''ll dry?"
38609Would you advise purchasing this animal if he is a bargain?"
38609Would you like to come along?"
38609You know what they are, I dare say?"
38609You of course know this story, do n''t you, Miss Ruth?"
38609You want my opinion on_ that_?"
38609You wo n''t mind the delay, will you?"
38609asked Agnes, while Ruth, remembering her position as head of the family, asked:"Wo n''t you come in?"
38609asked Ruth,"Are we really on Macopic at last?"
38609did you hear that?"
38609did you see?
38609he cried above the noise of the storm THE CORNER HOUSE GIRLS ON A HOUSEBOAT CHAPTER I"WHAT''S THAT?"
38609how many do you expect?"
38609what are you doing?"
38609what do you mean?"
38609what for?"
38609what''s that?"
32606A friend of yours, Madam?
32606Afraid? 32606 And mine, for my great- great- grandfather''s sister was-- How was that, dear Colonel?
32606And who''d ride it?
32606And without it, where could Ephy sleep and Chloe cook? 32606 Are there any fish here?"
32606Are those monkeys for sale?
32606Aunt Betty, are n''t you well? 32606 Aunt Betty, what does that''of T''mean after that queer Colonel''s name?"
32606Aurora Blank? 32606 Be you goin''to stay to my house all your life?
32606Boy, are you always so cross before breakfast?
32606But are n''t you glad, Jim?
32606But, Cunnel, how''bout you? 32606 But, Dorothy, are n''t you afraid?
32606Can he be ridden?
32606Cruising in the woods, you mean, eh? 32606 Did you ever notice?
32606Did you get a beam? 32606 Did you plant this celery?"
32606Dillingham? 32606 Do you stay here alone those times, ma''am?
32606Do you suppose it was really to find the''buried treasure''the Colonel came? 32606 Dolly Doodles-- what you sayin''?"
32606Eh, what? 32606 Elsa Carruthers?"
32606Engineer James Barlow?
32606Ephraim, did you ever live in a house- boat?
32606Evah lib in a house- boat? 32606 Fall into the Eddy?
32606Fifteen?
32606Foolish girl, do n''t you know that there ca n''t be two heads to any management?
32606For me? 32606 For sale?"
32606Got money left for your''passage?''
32606How about me, dear? 32606 How can we dare, how could we if we dared, try the Bay?
32606How do you know it''s French if you do n''t know French?
32606How much yo''tax''em at?
32606How much?
32606How? 32606 I say, Dolly Calvert, have you lost your senses?"
32606I-- I could n''t do very much-- with a paperknife, could I? 32606 If we had any papers, and we haven''t-- who''d we show them to, anyway?"
32606Is it really, truly mine, to do with exactly as I want?
32606Is n''t it the queerest thing? 32606 Is n''t she?
32606It''s like a church, is n''t it? 32606 Jim, do n''t you want to take a chance?
32606Lost? 32606 Lucetty?
32606Mabel Bruce?
32606Master Engineer, John Stinson?
32606Miss Calvert, did you know that you make the thirteenth person?
32606Mr. Ephraim Brown- Calvert?
32606Mrs. Charlotte Bruce?
32606Mrs. Chloe Brown, assistant chef and dishwasher?
32606Mrs. Elisabeth Cecil Somerset Calvert?
32606My dear sir, what have I said? 32606 None the rest?

32606Say? 32606 Shall I ever forget?
32606Ship''s papers, child alive? 32606 Story?
32606They''re terribly alive, indeed, do n''t you know? 32606 They-- why-- why-- what have you done?
32606Twenty- five?
32606Twenty?
32606Was it the color of his smock made him measly? 32606 Wattymillyouns?
32606Well, now, mate, how d''ye_ know_ them''s cows''tracks? 32606 Well, what is it, Sainty?"
32606Well, what of it? 32606 What about a horse, or a mule?
32606What about your monkey, Gerry?
32606What did his brother say, please?
32606What does Mr. Stillwell do, your husband, to tire him, so''t he needs the woods to rest him? 32606 What seest thou, lad?
32606What''s that? 32606 What''s that?
32606What''s the use eyeing a fellow like that? 32606 What''s up?"
32606What''s-- happened?
32606Wheah''s he gwine at?
32606When we go house- boating may I invite anybody I choose to go with us?
32606Where did Elsa take those monks? 32606 Where is he?
32606Where you come from? 32606 Where''s other brother, Saint Anne?
32606Why not, indeed, Aunt Betty? 32606 Why, babies dear, what''s the matter?
32606Why, good people, what''s the matter?
32606Why, little ones, what are you doing? 32606 Would that take long?
32606Yeah''m I?
32606Yes, is n''t it? 32606 You had money enough to buy fool monkeys, did n''t you?"
32606''Spect we''d be let to sail out o''port''ithout showin''our licenses?
32606''What you- all doin''ter mah li''l lamb?''
32606''Why- fo''?''
32606A doctor?
32606A moment later, when he had recognized the befused and battered teamster, demanding:"Who you fightin''with now, By Smith?
32606About Billy?
32606About our great- great- grandmother''s-- father''s-- relationship?
32606Afraid to stay alone back there?"
32606After a moment of surprise Melvin broke the silence, asking:"Do you have this kind of thing often in Maryland?"
32606Ai n''t it de trufe?"
32606Ai n''t it de trufe?"
32606Ai n''t that the limit?"
32606All these days what have you done?"
32606Almost all the autumn flowers are either purple or yellow or white?
32606And I say is n''t this the beastliest slow- poke of a hole you ever saw?
32606And do n''t you s''pose we could carry Gerry there, just the same as we brought him here?
32606And have a man from the shop attend to it?
32606And how did you know all that about the colors?"
32606And if Mrs. Betty''s so poor, what you doing with a house- boat, anyway?"
32606And in this"look ahead"Dorothy was asked:"What shall you do with the Water Lily, when this year''s cruise is over?"
32606And what fool would give such a thing as a house- boat to a chit of a girl like our Dorothy?"
32606And what was that I heard about quitting?"
32606And, Colonel Dillingham, ca n''t you ride Billy alongside, on the shores we pass?
32606And, after all, what does it matter where we live or what we have so long as there is peace and good will in one''s heart?
32606And, look- a- here?
32606Are all those letters from your summer- friends?
32606Are n''t we all?
32606Are n''t we going to be gloriously happy?
32606Are n''t you glad that''Uncle Seth''gave me the''Water Lily''?"
32606Are n''t you glad to see me, again?"
32606Are n''t you glad you came?
32606Are they people or just dear, dear animals?"
32606Are you all up there?
32606Are you taking them for their''constitutional''now, Elsa dear?"
32606As he finished the"Learned Blacksmith"drew his beloved ward to his side and looked into her sparkling eyes, asking:"Well, Dolly Doodles, what say?"
32606At this his fury burst forth again and he slouched upon poor Cap''n Jack with uplifted fists and the demand:"Whe''s my team at, you thief?
32606Aunt Betty, Uncle Seth?"
32606Aunt Betty, is n''t that fine?
32606Aunt Betty, too, grew more serious and she asked the practical question:"Is it a very expensive thing to run?
32606Auntie, do n''t you like him?
32606Auntie, that boat would hold a lot of people, would n''t it?"
32606Back so soon?
32606Besides, ladies in distress?
32606But do n''t you know a lot of Baltimoreans, or Marylanders, write their names that way?
32606But even then her timidity moved her to say:"Suppose something happens?
32606But have you no greeting for your old acquaintance, Mr. Stinson?
32606But how does a person transport monkeys?"
32606But how is the man conducting himself now?"
32606But how?
32606But if this little girl would like to have them we are delighted to make her a present of them, do n''t you know?
32606But is n''t it going to be just lovely, living on the Water Lily?
32606But now, has everybody had all the breakfast wanted?
32606But the face clouded when he asked:"Got any money, Sis?"
32606But what''s the odds?
32606But where is Jim?
32606But, at that moment, Mr. Carruthers himself appeared on the roof of the cabin, demanding:"What''s up, Cap''n Jack?
32606But, tell-- tell-- how came you up there?"
32606But, what were you going to say?"
32606But-- shall I, folks?
32606But-- what can you expect?
32606By the way, Dorothy, who deals out the provisions on this trip?"
32606Ca n''t pay?
32606Ca n''t you be glad to get home without begging for money?
32606Ca n''t you read?
32606Calvert?"
32606Calvert?"
32606Calvert?"
32606Can anybody see the tender?"
32606Can we go on board and inspect?"
32606Can you see?
32606Captain Hurry, Captain Barlow, Captain Blank, Captain Cook----""What do Barlow and Cook know about the water?
32606Captain Jack Hurry?"
32606Cayn''t you, Billy?"
32606Cheat an honest man of his earnin''s, will you?"
32606Chicken''s nice, ai n''t it, with gravy?
32606Corny Stillwell, do you know what day this is?
32606Corny''s my papa, do n''t you know?
32606Cruise?
32606D''ye happen to see Billy, anywhere?"
32606Did Gerald need me?"
32606Did anybody know where his clothes were?
32606Did n''t I warn ye''twas comin''?
32606Did n''t you see the signs''No Trespassing''everywhere?
32606Did n''t you want to come?
32606Did you never get into the woods and smell the ferns and things?
32606Did you, boys?"
32606Did your mother save any for herself?
32606Dillingham of T?
32606Do I know what sort of mule Cunnel Dillingham has?
32606Do n''t it appear like the doctor''s rig?
32606Do n''t it beat all?
32606Do n''t know how?
32606Do n''t like it?
32606Do n''t they sell hay up home at Baltimore?
32606Do n''t you know?
32606Do n''t you really know, either?"
32606Do n''t you think so?"
32606Do n''t you''member?
32606Do you know her and where she lies?"
32606Do you know one?"
32606Do you know this doctor and dislike him?
32606Do you know where he is?"
32606Do you mean you want him right beside you?"
32606Do you mention that hated name to me?
32606Do you remember?"
32606Do you suppose the monkeys can catch it?
32606Do you want a job?"
32606Does he farm it?"
32606Does it seem it can be true that it''s really, truly ours?"
32606Does n''t she look exactly like one?
32606Does n''t that seem queer?
32606Dorothy held her dripping bit of melon at arm''s length and quickly asked:"What do you mean?
32606Eh, Cunnel?
32606Eh?
32606Eh?
32606Eunice?
32606Evah kiss a cat''s lef''hind foot?
32606Even Mommer calls herself Mrs. Edward Newcomer- Blank of R.""Why''of R?''
32606Ford an''deers feedin''?
32606Fourteen eaters and twelve halves of broiled chicken-- Problem, who goes without?"
32606Funny old snoozer, ai n''t he?"
32606Funny, was n''t that?
32606Gerald Blank stared and asked:"In what way, please?
32606Gerald Blank?"
32606Go thirds with us in''em?"
32606Good?
32606Got any melons?
32606Got it?"
32606Had this down- trodden"worm"actually"turned"?
32606Has the wild raging of the Patapsco scared the lady passengers?
32606Have a cup of tea, Miss-- Calvert, is it?"
32606Have a swallow, Commodore?"
32606Have n''t tumbled out of a balloon, have ye?
32606Have n''t you seen it in the papers?"
32606Have you hurt yourselves?"
32606He added to them:"Dorothy Calvert makes me think of my mother, do n''t you know?
32606He finished by asking:"Is there any house near where we can take this boy?
32606He may get restless and Corny-- Did he take his gun?"
32606He said, my papa said:''Suppose younkers we start a circus of our own?''
32606He was saved, was n''t he?
32606Hear that?
32606Here was a solution to their own dilemma--"what shall we do with the monks?"
32606Hey?
32606His expression hurt her, somehow, and she turned away her eyes, asking a practical question of her own:"Would three hundred dollars do it?"
32606How can a Calvert tell a guest to go home again after that?"
32606How could a fellow lose anything in this hole, even if he tried?
32606How dare you?"
32606How did he get here?
32606How do you suppose, in this mortal world, those women and girls had gumption enough to run away with that house- boat?
32606How on earth do you put in your time?
32606How''d you do it?
32606How''s farming?
32606How''s this for medicine?"
32606I allow my faithful Billy to set foot on that soil?
32606I can talk, ca n''t I?
32606I could fancy I was still on shipboard, do n''t you know?"
32606I did n''t know-- I''m sorry, I''ll plant them right back-- I only did what the others said-- Nobody warned me-- us--""_ Us?_ Are there others then?
32606I did n''t know-- I''m sorry, I''ll plant them right back-- I only did what the others said-- Nobody warned me-- us--""_ Us?_ Are there others then?
32606I go to Ottawotta?
32606I hope Jim will find the little Saint right soon and be back, too; but do n''t you think they''ll be frightened about you?
32606I tell you he''s a character----""Billy?
32606I was coming after the monkeys, they''re mine you know-- or half mine, but-- do they act that way often?"
32606I''ll slip off again without seeing Elsa, and you understand?
32606I''m a''hireling,''too, d''ye mind?
32606I''ve invested all I can afford in monkeys just now, do n''t you know?
32606I----""Young man, do you doubt my word, sir?"
32606If it had chicken on it could you hold it right side up and not lose a single bit?
32606If you''ll tell me where the hoe is, please?"
32606Is Billy lookin''comf''table?"
32606Is aught wrong beyond already?"
32606Is he comf''table?
32606Is it far to Deer- Copse?"
32606Is it still full of those ill- bred men, who swarmed over this boat as if they owned it?"
32606Is n''t grass really hay?
32606Is n''t it just glorious?
32606Is n''t there a man here?"
32606Is n''t there any sort of light we can get?"
32606Is our good lady sick?"
32606Is that the truly nautical way to speak?
32606Is they, Billy?"
32606Is''t a bargain?
32606It just came to me-- what can they think, when they come back and find you gone, except that you were out of your mind and wandered off?
32606It''s awful bad luck to fight at sea, do n''t you know?"
32606It''s nicer''an buttermilk, ai n''t it?
32606Jim finished his recital with the eager inquiry:"Now, sir, do n''t you think you can sell Billy and put a reasonable price on him?"
32606Jim tried to keep his face straight as he inquired:"What is the price of Billy, sir?"
32606Josephine?
32606Just because a healthy boy got caught in a''gust''?
32606Just me alone?
32606Just suppose?
32606Likely these whole States have been dug over, foot by foot, same''s our Province has, do n''t you know?
32606Lost wallet?
32606Lost your wagon, have you?
32606Love is the most beautiful thing in all the world, is n''t it?
32606Metty looked up and sat up-- with a groan:"Say, Mister,''d you evah hab de tummy- ache?"
32606Most of these nodded to him as they passed, with an indifferent"Howdy, Cunnel?"
32606Must ye go, boys?
32606My old one I gave Miss Molly, do n''t you know?
32606Never really at peace''cept when ye''re rowin'', are ye?"
32606No radiance followed, and, watching from the doorway, Cap''n Jack triumphantly exclaimed:"Did n''t I know it?
32606No?
32606Not Wesley, nor Saint Augustine, nor Dorcas, nor Sheba, nor teeny- tiny David boy?
32606Not much, do you think?"
32606Now ai n''t that clever?
32606Now as he held the telegram in his hand his face clouded, so that Griselda, watching, anxiously inquired:"Is something wrong?
32606Now-- how much money have you on hand?"
32606Odd, is n''t it, Madam?"
32606Of course, girlie, I do n''t mean that fully, but is n''t it a queer notion?
32606Only, what about Gerald?
32606Or ai n''t you no memory left in that rattle- pate o''you- all''s?
32606Or to-- to make up friends with his daughter?"
32606Or would you be afraid?"
32606Or, rather, to go back and start over again-- if we dare?"
32606Or, will you come, too?"
32606Path?
32606Pay?
32606Price of melons?
32606Queer, ai n''t it?
32606Rising, he asked:"Mr. Stillwell, can you show us the way to Deer- Copse, or tell us I mean?
32606S''posing he left one his hairs on that chicken?
32606Say for about three months?"
32606Say, Daddy dear?
32606Say, Dorcas,''twouldn''t not do to give mamma grapes what have fell into dirty grass, would it?
32606Say, Elsa----""Gerald, I mean Mr. Blank, is all that true?"
32606See?
32606Seems if they''s gone a dreadful spell, do n''t it?
32606Shall I send down a tug to tow you back to the city?
32606Shall we wait for him?
32606She scarcely heard and wholly failed to understand Dorothy''s repeated question:"May I, dear Aunt Betty?"
32606Six dollars a meal, eighteen dollars a day, how long will what is left of three hundred dollars last, after we pay for Billy, as you said we must?"
32606Six whole dollars for one single breakfast?
32606So they''ve at last called upon my house- boat friends, have they?
32606Sometimes, do n''t you know?
32606Stillwell?"
32606Stream o''water?
32606Suppose he were to contract pneumonia?
32606Suppose we should get lost?
32606That just a little bit of ignorance can hide important things from a fellow, that way?
32606That slender slip of a woman does almost all their farm work, herself?
32606The sick boy has all he wants, do n''t he?
32606The"good side"of Gerald came uppermost and he awkwardly apologized:"Just forget I was a cad, will you, boys?
32606Then his good nature made him explain:"What''s a wharf- master for, d''ye s''pose?
32606Then standing as upright as he could, he shouted:"Now face that way-- North, ai n''t it?
32606Then, too, Jim, did you know that poor Mabel Bruce has lost her father?
32606Then-- Did you ever hear a colored woman holler?
32606There was a boat- hook hanging on the rail-- that''s a long thing with a spike, or hook, at one end, to pull a boat to shore, do n''t you know?
32606They are all new, are n''t they?
32606They are welcome, sure, but-- what''s wrong here?"
32606They look terrible little, do n''t they, now they''re cooked?
32606They''ll be trying it, but the Water Lily''s your boat now, is n''t it?"
32606This is her racket, is n''t it?
32606This was so evident that she smiled as she asked:"Who thinks best to give up this trip?
32606This was too much for the lads and a laugh arose; but the old man merely peered over his specs at them and mildly asked:"What you- all laughin''at?
32606Undoing the fastening and lifting the lid of this inner"shrine"there lay revealed-- What?
32606Want to see''em?"
32606Warn''t that the purtiest leetle blow''t ever you see?
32606Was another frightful tempest coming?
32606Was he down in Tony''s Eddy?"
32606Was n''t it a pretty notion to paint the tender green like a real lily''Pad?''
32606Was n''t none of''em your sons, were they, Ma''am?"
32606Was n''t that funny?
32606Was this the poor, timid Elsa who now faced him with flashing eyes?
32606Wat- ty- mill- youns?
32606We may n''t take the same route you''d have chosen, but-- will you come?
32606Well, ship''s comp''ny, how''d ye like it?
32606Well, what you say?"
32606Well?"
32606Were you sorry for me, along with the rest?"
32606What are monkeys?
32606What are they doing?
32606What can I do to make it pleasanter for you?"
32606What do I say?
32606What do you mean by that?"
32606What do you mean?"
32606What do you mean?"
32606What do you say?
32606What do you say?"
32606What does it mean?"
32606What had happened?
32606What in reason''d ye hire me for, then?
32606What in the world can you, could you, do with a house- boat?"
32606What is in that box you brought along?
32606What is it?
32606What job?"
32606What makes you look so queer, Mr. Corny?
32606What next?
32606What papers?"
32606What sort of a man are you, anyway?
32606What will befall her there?
32606What would these here women an''childern do if it was n''t for Cap''n Jack Hurry a pertectin''of''em?
32606What you doing?"
32606What you found now?"
32606What you jabbering about now?
32606What''ll we do?"
32606What''s doing?
32606What''s the fun of pulling things up that way?"
32606What''s the price, sailor?
32606What''s the use?
32606What''s them new- fangled notions wuth in a case o''need?
32606What''s to hinder you two boys, you and Corny, following along in your wagon yonder with the monkeys''cage?
32606What''s up?
32606What''s up?
32606What--_what_--_is this_?"
32606What?
32606What?
32606Wheah''s it at-- dat t''ing?"
32606Where are the rest?
32606Where can we get a breakfast?"
32606Where they at?"
32606Where you going to stow them all, child?"
32606Where you going?
32606Where''d you find him, our little brother?
32606Where''s he at, quick?"
32606Where''s your gumption at?"
32606Where?
32606Which is the way home?"
32606Who do they suspect?"
32606Who told you he was a captain, or had ever been afloat?"
32606Who''d see any of your new clothes?"
32606Why ain''yo''tote one dese yeah bastics?"
32606Why are n''t you back yonder with the rest?
32606Why are n''t you up and at it?
32606Why are you despoiling my property, trampling my choicest ferns, trespassing upon my private park?"
32606Why did n''t you choose your own familiar friends?"
32606Why do n''t we go aboard and start?"
32606Why do n''t you start-- if it''s you who''s to manage this craft, as you claim?
32606Why do you look so sober all of a sudden?"
32606Why do you look so''sollumcolic?''
32606Why does he sit sidewise and gloom at everybody, that way?"
32606Why else?''
32606Why have n''t you come before and why have you come now?
32606Why not take it easy?
32606Why not, Auntie, darling?"
32606Why should he have gone away from the Stillwell cottage before you, in that sudden way you mentioned?"
32606Why should he, whom Gerald had openly despised, be chained to that boy''s bedside?
32606Why should his own holiday be spoiled for a stranger, an interloper?
32606Why were all those people running away so fast?
32606Why worry or hurry?
32606Why, boy, what''s the matter?
32606Why, folks, do you know?
32606Why, for instance, the two Blanks?"
32606Why, what would any of us have done if she had n''t been here?
32606Why-- what-- are you ill, Colonel?"
32606Why?"
32606Will the man who owns that grass like to have him graze it that way?
32606Will they be of any use on a house- boat?"
32606Will you be real careful?
32606Will you go back to the Lily and get more help?
32606Will you see that, lads?"
32606Will you tell her?
32606Will you, dear?"
32606Will you?"
32606Winters?"
32606With-- a-- boat- hook, d''ye hear?"
32606Wo n''t it be grand to have it for a surprise?
32606Wo n''t it cost a great deal to let Billy do that, if hay is worth much?"
32606Wo n''t they laugh at us?"
32606Wo n''t you?"
32606Wonderful, ai n''t it?
32606Woods, says you?
32606Would n''t you, Melvin?
32606Would you like to come and see it done, Eunice?"
32606Would you like to see the monkeys?
32606Would you trust them with me away from home?
32606Would you?"
32606You black idiot, do you reckon a gentleman who can afford to give away a mule''s goin''to take money for a few trumpery water- melons?
32606You do n''t mind, really, do you, Auntie, darling?
32606You do n''t_ see_ cows around, do ye?
32606You have''em, too, do n''t you?
32606You keep real far back, wo n''t you?
32606You should, do n''t you know?"
32606You wo n''t join?"
32606You would n''t like to tell a wrong story, would you, Mamma dear?
32606You would n''t want to make poor darling mamma sick, like the Geraldy boy, would you, Sheba Stillwell?
32606You''ll be my guest, wo n''t you?
32606You''re not half bad, do n''t you know?
32606You''re safe now and-- are you hungry?"
32606You''re so smart with those detestable monks, suppose you go on training''em and exhibit when you get back to town?
32606Your company all back?"
32606Your name''s Calvert, ai n''t it?"
32606_ Afraid!__ I?_ Why that_ is_ a joke, indeed!"
32606_ I cayn''t sell Billy._""Ten dollars?"
32606_ Invited_ him, do n''t you see?
32606_ Mistress?_ Well, I''ll have you to know, you young hireling, that I''m my own master.
32606and is n''t it just jolly?
32606and look- a- here, have n''t you held on to your grudge long enough?
32606and that cute little row- boat a reddish brown, like an actual''Stem?''
32606and what are you peering at with your bright eyes?
32606answered the sailor, with offended dignity;"and do n''t you know, you Simple Simon,''t they always has to be a head to everything?
32606chanted Gerald Blank, in irony;"Is anybody seasick?
32606demanded Melvin, running to where Chloe stood, holding her sides and shaking with laughter,"where have they gone?"
32606is it you-- truly-- really-- you darling Uncle Seth?
32606is n''t that sweet?
32606or a''Howdy''for the doctor?
32606what was that she was saying?
32606what?
32606where, how is Billy?"
32606you old villain, here again be ye?
15904A bargain? 15904 A secret?"
15904A young fellow?
15904About a mile up the river, you say?
15904Ai n''t dot enough?
15904All right, Massah Dick, only--"Only what?
15904All right; but we''ve made a fine pair of escorts, have n''t we, Dick?
15904All well at home?
15904Am I black, sir?
15904And after that, what?
15904And after that?
15904And how are you, and how is Master Dick and Master Sam?
15904And slept? 15904 And some fresh breakfast rolls?"
15904And that is the last you saw of him?
15904And what is that?
15904And what makes you think the Rovers are the thieves?
15904And what of the envelope, Richard?
15904And who is going?
15904And with Captain Carson? 15904 And you allowed nobody else to pass?"
15904And you really did think of me?
15904And you, Samuel?
15904And you-- you did n''t accept him, did you?
15904And your coats were as you had left them?
15904Any o''these yours?
15904Anywhere near Mr. Fairchild''s shop?
15904Are either of you hurt?
15904Are the Rovers here?
15904Are they rich?
15904Are ye afraid to have''em examined?
15904Are you awake?
15904Are you certain of this, Tom?
15904Are you certain of what you are doing?
15904Are you going to let us search you and your belongings or not?
15904Are you going to make them pay you for releasing us?
15904Are you going to try to get into the academy again, Lew?
15904Are you hurt?
15904Are you sure, Link?
15904Ashamed? 15904 Beats the Greatest Show on Earth to bits, does n''t it?"
15904Black up?
15904Boys, have you any idea how this jewelry got into your clothes?
15904Bumps?
15904But I-- I do n''t understand?
15904But how are we going to escape? 15904 But the girls?
15904But they are only friends?
15904But what do you think they have done?
15904But what do you want?
15904But what made you bring such a big trunk?
15904But where do you propose to go to, Tom?
15904But which way are we going?
15904By the way, captain,put in Tom,"have you noticed a stranger watching the_ Dora_ the last night or two?"
15904By the way, is n''t it queer there is no watchman here?
15904By the way,he went on, with a merry twinkle in his eye,"how is scientific farming getting on?"
15904Can I dry myself here?
15904Can we catch the steamboat, captain?
15904Can we get a train to that place?
15904Captain Putnam wants you?
15904Captain Putnam, what do you mean by calling me an-- ah-- negro?
15904Coldt, is it?
15904Could n''t it be possible that they got on the_ Dora_ too?
15904Cramps, or fits? 15904 Dere ton''t been no sharks in der river?"
15904Dick, are you hurt?
15904Dick,he went on,"would n''t it be great if we could get the girls and Mrs. Stanhope to take that trip with us on the houseboat?"
15904Did dat whale git a stummick ache from swallerin''yo''?
15904Did he mention any names?
15904Did he mention his friends''names?
15904Did he recognize you, Aleck?
15904Did n''t he leave anybody else to run the shop?
15904Did n''t you say you wanted somebody to tow you down the river?
15904Did she say to tell the Rovers?
15904Did somebody hit you?
15904Did they really cheat him?
15904Did they see you?
15904Did ye see any of thim around?
15904Did you fall asleep on your post during that time?
15904Did you give Billy a whaling?
15904Did you go after him?
15904Did you see anybody else on the houseboat?
15904Did you see him last night-- while our colored man was here?

15904Do you hear me, Flapp? 15904 Do you know anything about the river around here?"
15904Do you know that that is the Rovers''houseboat?
15904Do you mean that he is crazy?
15904Do you mean to tell me you belong here?
15904Do you remember?
15904Do you think he will deliver that message?
15904Do you think the Rover boys are following the houseboat?
15904Do you think we can catch them?
15904Do you think we can launch the rowboat and get into it without upsetting?
15904Do you want me to go away and leave you locked in the vault?
15904Do you want to be starved?
15904Does he live there alone?

15904How are you?
15904How could we get into mischief with a houseboat?
15904How did it happen, Sam?
15904How did the houseboat look?
15904How did this happen, Samuel?
15904How did you come to let him in? 15904 How do ye account for having the goods on your persons, tell me that now?"

15904I sent for you?
15904I told him that I wanted to marry somebody that lived in the East, and that I-- I--"And that you had the young man picked out? 15904 I wonder who those men can be?"
15904I yonder vot is in dare?
15904I-- I-- oh, my head?
15904If I do n''t belong to this camp, where do I belong?
15904If we help you to escape, will you stick by us in a little game we are trying to put through?
15904If you think-- Great snakes, what''s this? 15904 If you want to catch them why do n''t you follow them up in the tug?"
15904In this camp?
15904In? 15904 Is Mr. Bill Daws in?"
15904Is anything amiss, Captain Putnam?
15904Is everything ready for the trip, captain?
15904Is he here now?
15904Is he to be trusted?
15904Is it possible that you have been fighting?
15904Is it possible?
15904Is it too late to write now?

15904Is the craft stolen?

15904Mr. Gregg, will you help me to make him a prisoner?
15904No success, eh?
15904Not losing money any more, then?
15904Not so very hungry?
15904Now the question is, has she gone past that town, or is she between there and this point?
15904Now, who was the outsider?
15904Of course, you did n''t send that message?
15904Oh, Captain Putnam, how did you know I let somebody in? 15904 Oh, Dick, what has become of them?"
15904Oh, Dora, are n''t you glad?
15904Oh, Dora, supposing they find us out?
15904Oh, Dora, what will become of us?
15904Oh, Dora, would they dare to do that?
15904Oh, Ribble, are you crazy?
15904Oh, how did that fellow get here?
15904Oh, what shall we do?
15904Oh, where? 15904 On our outing this summer?"
15904Or, shall we ever forget?
15904Peleg, do n''t you want your initials branded on your feet?
15904Richard, when did you clean your uniform last?
15904Run off with''em, did you?
15904Running into you?
15904Sam means your dancing pumps?
15904Sam, where did you get that hurt on your head?
15904Say, if I unlock that door and let you out will you promise to behave yourselves?
15904Searching fer somebody?
15904See anybody?
15904See anything of a small sailboat?
15904See anything of them?
15904See here, Captain Putnam, do you stand up fer shieldin''a thief?
15904See here, I do n''t understand your game?
15904See here, what''s the use of talking that way?
15904See that air turn yonder?
15904Seen anything of a houseboat around here?
15904Seen anything of another launch around here?
15904Seen anything of any strangers within the past two hours?
15904Shall I try that other road?
15904Shall we tell Captain Putnam of this?
15904So you- uns are really the Rovers?
15904Strangers?
15904Supposing I take to one road and you to the other?
15904Swallows me alife, hey? 15904 Tell me what, Aleck?"
15904That is what I said?
15904That''s our party right here,replied Dick, and he added, excitedly:"What do you want to know for?"
15904The boys?
15904The girls were trying to escape in the rowboat?
15904The man that owed Uncle Randolph some money?
15904The question is, which one?
15904The two fellows at the stern of that boat?
15904Them? 15904 Then why did n''t you go to law about it with them?"
15904Then you are not ashamed to have her called the_ Dora?_said Dick, well satisfied.
15904Then you do n''t want to die of starvation just yet?
15904Then you wo n''t let me out?
15904Thin, if he wanted to git you into throuble, he was after being a fellow who had a grudge against ye?
15904Think of what?
15904This is Captain Starr?
15904Tom, are you all right?

15904Well, how do you feel-- pretty hungry?
15904Well, what is your plan? 15904 Well, what luck?"
15904Well, what''s the plan? 15904 Well, where is the houseboat?"
15904Well?

15904Why do n''t you buy hats for the pool''dear monkeys?
15904Why do n''t you call up the police? 15904 Why do n''t you tell your folks first?"
15904Why does n''t he say something else? 15904 Why is that boy like a fish?"
15904Why not black Tubby up while he is asleep?
15904Why not, Tom?
15904Why not-- if you wo n''t be friendly?
15904Why not? 15904 Why not?
15904Why not?
15904Will you fellows shut up?
15904Will you in all goodness tell me your name?
15904Wo n''t he laugh when he sees how Sam and Fred have been stuck?
15904Wonder if I ca n''t find a bit of wire, or something?
15904Wonder if that is the shore or a boat?
15904Wonder if they rode down to where we left the houseboat?
15904Wonder what is up?
15904Wonder where Baxter disappeared to?
15904Wonder where she will make her first stop?
15904Would you care if I did?
15904Would you dare to starve us?
15904Would you sell it?
15904Yes, but how did the things get into our clothes, Tom?
15904Yes, but where are you going to look for him?
15904Yes, sir, I saw him leave?
15904You and your pard are running off with the boat?
15904You are certain about this houseboat trip?
15904You are hiding away from somebody?
15904You are sure you heard them scream?
15904You are sure you were not mistaken, Aleck? 15904 You do n''t know if he went towards the back of the shop?"
15904You found no trace of them?
15904You had the boat cleaned up?
15904You have a message for us?
15904You will be ready to have us taken down the river as soon as we get our things on board?
15904You will?
15904You''ll help me; wo n''t you?
15904_ Du meine Zeit!_ Vot is dis?
15904_ Where are you?_Only the faint breeze in the trees answered him.
15904--""And is that why you took us along?"
15904And after doing a flip- flap, he continued:"Mr. Ringmaster, what''s the difference between your knife and me?"
15904And they are wide- awake; are n''t they, kind reader?
15904And when did you get up?"
15904And yet, if those rascals ran off with the houseboat and with the girls on board, how would they square matters with Captain Starr?"
15904Are they here?"
15904But first tell me, how about this woman?"
15904But if I take possession while they are away--""How do you know they will be away-- I mean all of them at one time?"
15904But what can we do?
15904But what is that to you?"
15904But what shall we do next?"
15904But where are we to get the lamp- black?"
15904But-- but--""But what?"
