| 20984 | Am I proud any more? |
| 20984 | And have you seen the first society? |
| 20984 | And next minute Prudy was half way down stairs, thinking,--"What''s gone wrong? |
| 20984 | And why did n''t Hollis bring the camphor bottle athout my asking?" |
| 20984 | And, O, was it possible? |
| 20984 | But do you think the pond is as pretty as Bottomless Pond, Prudy, where Uncle Henry goes for pitcher- plants?" |
| 20984 | But somehow, how can we, when Uncle Augustus is n''t very sick, and you''re coming right back? |
| 20984 | But there''s one thought keeps coming into my mind: Is n''t it wicked to have so much jewelry? |
| 20984 | But where are they, ma''am?" |

| 20984 | Did her eyes deceive her? |
| 20984 | Did n''t I lock that in the safe? |

| 20984 | Dotty queried privately why it should be called the shepherd''s_ pipe_: how could a shepherd smoke while he sang? |
| 20984 | Dotty was deeply engaged in examining a sea- horse, when Prudy suddenly whispered,--"Dotty, what did you do last night with those two rings?" |
| 20984 | Eggs? |
| 20984 | Fly did not speak for as much as a minute, and then she said, timidly,--"Hollis, I want to ask you sumpin; does God wear spetticles?" |
| 20984 | Fly only waked once in the night, and asked in a drowsy tone,"Have I got a measle?" |
| 20984 | Flyaway, darling, will you remember not to go out of doors?" |
| 20984 | For an hour or two Fly lay gasping; then she said, softly,--"Hollis, Hollis, is He looking now?" |
| 20984 | Goin''to let me go to the party in my old clo''es? |
| 20984 | Have n''t I always pacified Dotty, and humored her? |
| 20984 | Have you been in the Park?" |
| 20984 | He''ll see the carriage, and find out auntie has money; and then wo n''t he make her pay over? |
| 20984 | Horace, too, was trying to quiet the child; but Fly sincerely believed she was bleeding to death; so what did she care for proprieties? |
| 20984 | How could she tell whether she had left out the soda? |
| 20984 | How could such exquisite children play without tearing their flounces and deranging their criêped hair? |
| 20984 | How do you make chocolate?" |
| 20984 | How many tears, did you waste, little Crocodile? |
| 20984 | How much did Fly break?" |
| 20984 | How''d_ you_ feel going to bed right after dinner?" |
| 20984 | Hush, my babe, lie still,--O, ca n''t you stop crying?" |
| 20984 | I always used to tell my dog I prized it as much as he did his dear little tail.--Why, what''s burning? |
| 20984 | I had been holding in all day; why did I let go? |
| 20984 | I understand you are keeping house, and auntie and I have come visiting?" |
| 20984 | I would n''t think that of you? |
| 20984 | I wouldn''t!--Miss Perdegoff, which does God love best, great ugly_ grizzles_ or hunkydory little parrots?" |
| 20984 | Ice- cream?" |
| 20984 | Is n''t it nice to get that old stove out? |
| 20984 | Is this what they call waiting on the Lord?" |
| 20984 | Liked it-- didn''t you, Fly? |
| 20984 | Look here who do you suppose was Eve''s shoemaker? |
| 20984 | Making her auntie suppose she understood cooking, and putting Mrs. Fixfax to all this trouble for nothing? |
| 20984 | Maria and her mother wo n''t come-- will they?" |
| 20984 | Maria?" |
| 20984 | Moon? |
| 20984 | Moonshine?" |
| 20984 | Mrs. Fixfax rolled her up six yards deep in blankets, and we thought''what is home without a mother?'' |
| 20984 | My jewel cabinet? |
| 20984 | No one must know her heart was broken, for fear the question might arise,"What broke it?" |
| 20984 | Now do n''t you know? |
| 20984 | O, no; Prudy''s humble? |
| 20984 | Pragoff?" |
| 20984 | Pray, who could have given it to you?" |
| 20984 | Presently he stopped rocking, and exclaimed,--"Why, what''s the matter with my Toddlekins? |
| 20984 | Prudy Parlin? |
| 20984 | S''pose I''d show temper right before these people?" |
| 20984 | Shall I go and ask?" |
| 20984 | She had always scorned Dotty''s self- conceit; but had n''t she shown quite as much herself? |
| 20984 | She remembered slipping off her auntie''s rings when she washed the dishes; but where had she put them? |
| 20984 | She was not quite sure of the room, but the words,"Is that you, Prudy?" |
| 20984 | She was thinking continually,"Where are those rings?" |
| 20984 | She wo n''t_ let_ you wake her?" |
| 20984 | That ca n''t be so expensive, should you think, as a string of beads?" |
| 20984 | That is, cook their own meals, and set their own table?" |
| 20984 | Then he spoke:--"Madam, are you willing to do exactly as I say? |
| 20984 | True, Prudy did tire of the fixed questions,"How do you like New York? |
| 20984 | Was n''t he as good as any of them? |
| 20984 | Was that a pleasant way to live? |
| 20984 | Well, what you laughing at, then?" |
| 20984 | Well, who said I was proud? |
| 20984 | What are you scowling at so?" |
| 20984 | What could she say? |
| 20984 | What could she see in Prudy? |
| 20984 | What did auntie mean? |
| 20984 | What did he do?" |
| 20984 | What do hair- oil and perfumery amount to?" |
| 20984 | What do you expect of a woman with such a small head as that? |
| 20984 | What does Mrs. Allen mean by letting children come into the kitchen to bother_ me_?" |
| 20984 | What have you lost?" |
| 20984 | What if the word should be No? |
| 20984 | What made her speak up, and get me started? |
| 20984 | What makes her breathe so short?" |
| 20984 | What right have you with that cabinet, I_ should_ like to know? |
| 20984 | What rings?" |
| 20984 | What say to omelettes and coffee?" |
| 20984 | What was the charm in Prudy? |
| 20984 | What were Dotty''s feelings as she stood there looking on? |
| 20984 | What would be the use of her being rich if she did n''t?" |
| 20984 | What''ll I do? |
| 20984 | What''s that?" |
| 20984 | What''s this in a bowl? |
| 20984 | What? |
| 20984 | What_ is_ resisteth? |
| 20984 | When''d ever_ he_ make ginger- bread?" |
| 20984 | When? |
| 20984 | Where? |
| 20984 | Who wants Horace for the head of the family? |
| 20984 | Who wants the old watch? |
| 20984 | Why did n''t you come and ask if I was willing?" |
| 20984 | Why do n''t they hire men to dig''em up by the roots?" |
| 20984 | Why, Fly, what now?" |
| 20984 | Why, is n''t she in there?" |
| 20984 | Why, what was that? |
| 20984 | Why, who can help it, to see such a jolly room, big enough to hold a mass- meeting? |
| 20984 | Will it do any good to go and tell her she made me think of a Shetland pony?" |
| 20984 | Will you come?" |
| 20984 | Wo n''t crackers and raisins do?" |
| 20984 | Wonder if Mother Hubbard notices it''s just going to strike twelve?" |
| 20984 | Would my dear Aunt Madge go and take all father''s money away? |
| 20984 | Would the doctor ever stop pulling open her eyelids? |
| 20984 | You have n''t been to her house?" |
| 20984 | You hear what she calls for, ma''am? |
| 20984 | [ Illustration: LITTLE PRUDY''S FLYAWAY SERIES"What is home without a mother?" |
| 20984 | [ Illustration:"DOTTY DIMPLE, YOU HERE?"] |
| 20984 | asked the landlady, pouring hot water till it overran the cup;"do n''t the darling feel well?" |
| 20984 | responded Horace, appearing on the landing,"You did n''t think I had her with me-- did you?" |
| 20984 | said Horace;"do n''t you see, Prue, she ca n''t breathe out of her nose?" |
| 20984 | said Mrs. Pragoff, really shocked;"where did a well- bred child like you ever hear such a coarse word as that?" |
| 20984 | why did n''t he cure her right off?" |
| 20984 | yes; there are eggs enough; but dear me, where''s the milk? |
| 45751 | An''whatever have ye been about then, Miss Carrie? |
| 45751 | And I suppose,she said at length,"that that was the reason you said you would not have time to make the bracket for mamma?" |
| 45751 | And are you going to help her with them? |
| 45751 | And can I help her, mamma? |
| 45751 | And did n''t you hear Ruth calling you? |
| 45751 | And do you feed him? |
| 45751 | And do you think it right, then, for you to do any thing which destroys or injures either? |
| 45751 | And if a bear_ did_ come, I could sc''eam very loud, could n''t I? |
| 45751 | And it was pretty much the same thing yesterday, was it not? |
| 45751 | And the harder you work, the worse you feel; is it not so? |
| 45751 | And there is no need for me to play if I do not choose, is there? |
| 45751 | And where was our steady little woman, Nellie? |
| 45751 | And why did n''t you? 45751 And you have had no walk, no play, all day?" |
| 45751 | And you think that all this extra study is going to help you, my little girl? |
| 45751 | And you will do it then? |
| 45751 | Any more flour, Nellie? |
| 45751 | Are you going back to that horrid writing? |
| 45751 | Are you not going to eat your breakfast, Carrie? |
| 45751 | Are you sure you do n''t mind, Carrie? 45751 But am I''a dull boy''?" |
| 45751 | But do you think Frankie really means to give the white mice to Daisy? |
| 45751 | Cafarine, do n''t I help a whole lot? |
| 45751 | Carrie,said Daisy, when Nellie had gone,"did you ever have a temp- ta- tion?" |
| 45751 | Could n''t I do it, mamma? |
| 45751 | Courage, mamma? |
| 45751 | Daisy, my pet, did you shut the door of the garden- house after you? |
| 45751 | Daisy, what''s the matter now? |
| 45751 | Did he? |
| 45751 | Did it make you do somefing naughty? |
| 45751 | Did she frighten you so? 45751 Did the mouse frighten your appetite away, Carrie?" |
| 45751 | Did you ask your mamma if Daisy could have them? |
| 45751 | Did you find one in the store- room too? |
| 45751 | Did your papa scold you? |
| 45751 | Do n''t you like it, Daisy? |
| 45751 | Do they, Ruth? |
| 45751 | Do you think your mamma would let you come to our house this afternoon? |
| 45751 | Do you want papa to be busy? |
| 45751 | Does she think a bear is eating me up when she hears me cry and ca n''t see me? |
| 45751 | For a whole fortnight, two weeks, mamma? |
| 45751 | Frankie, do you know what is the matter with her? |
| 45751 | Frankie, if I went in to bafe, and Jonah''s whale came and swallowed me up, how could God get my soul out of him? |
| 45751 | Have you been down to the beach? |
| 45751 | Have you felt very well, quite like yourself, during the last few days, Nellie? |
| 45751 | Here''s anofer one,she said:"Why do n''t white mice like to live in the garden- house?" |
| 45751 | How can I? |
| 45751 | How did he come to be talking to you? |
| 45751 | How did you make him so tame? |
| 45751 | How did you tame them so? |
| 45751 | How do you suppose they got in? |
| 45751 | How soon will you come? |
| 45751 | I do n''t believe mamma would care at all so long as she never saw them,said Bob;"do you, Nellie?" |
| 45751 | I do n''t know,said Nellie:"what do you want to grow very fast for?" |
| 45751 | I thought I was stronger than it seems I am; but another time we will both be more careful, hey? |
| 45751 | If I was an ugly bug crawling about, would you love me? |
| 45751 | Is Johnny upstairs? |
| 45751 | Is it kurous to make a little hole in the paper and peek in? |
| 45751 | Is it? |
| 45751 | Is she there now, Daisy? |
| 45751 | Is that all you have done to- day? |
| 45751 | Is that our Johnny? |
| 45751 | Mamma,said Nellie,"did papa tell you what we were talking about last evening while we were out walking?" |
| 45751 | Must they be killed? |
| 45751 | Nellie and Carrie,said Maggie,"what do you think we are doing, Bessie and I?" |
| 45751 | Nellie, if I was that ugly bug crawling about, would you smash me? |
| 45751 | Nellie, what''ll make me grow very fast? |
| 45751 | Nellie, why would n''t you like to make something for your mamma of your own work? 45751 Nellie, would you ever have believed that I could do such a thing as to keep those mice?" |
| 45751 | Nellie,said her father,"did you ever hear the old couplet,''All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy''?" |
| 45751 | No, mamma,said Nellie softly,"and you think I have made it the first of all things lately, do you not?" |
| 45751 | Not always, do they, Bessie? 45751 Now, why did you guess it so soon?" |
| 45751 | Papa, I-- I-- I would if I could, but-- but the birdies are''live, and the dinner- set is dead; but I would n''t cry about it, would I, mamma? |
| 45751 | Papa,said Daisy,"you_ could n''t_ be going to catch the little birdies out the trees, and put them in there, could you?" |
| 45751 | Talk about something else,she spelled out in the sign alphabet, and then asked aloud,--"What is it you and Bessie are doing, Maggie?" |
| 45751 | Tell it a long, long story,--tell me till your tongue is tired, will you? |
| 45751 | That very evening I was sitting on papa''s knee, talking to him,continued Belle,"and what do you think? |
| 45751 | Then I''ll tell her she must n''t do it,said Daisy;"but, Nellie, do people that kill mice have to be took to prison?" |
| 45751 | Then it is not a task she set you? |
| 45751 | Then what can I do to show mamma how sorry I am? |
| 45751 | Then why do n''t you be good all the time? |
| 45751 | Then you''re not going back to that old Bible lesson this morning? |
| 45751 | There''s an old bird- cage upstairs in the attic,said Nellie,"why would n''t that do for a house for them?" |
| 45751 | Was n''t what? |
| 45751 | Was she? 45751 Well, I do n''t know, papa; but you do not think study makes my head ache, or makes me cross, do you?" |
| 45751 | Well, what about the mouse? |
| 45751 | Well, what whim has taken you now? |
| 45751 | Well? |
| 45751 | What are you going to do with them then? |
| 45751 | What are you going to do? |
| 45751 | What are you making? |
| 45751 | What can it be, Nellie? |
| 45751 | What did Nellie do? 45751 What did he do? |
| 45751 | What happened? 45751 What is that you are doing, Nellie?" |
| 45751 | What is the matter? |
| 45751 | What makes you do the housekeeping,asked Carrie,--"just to help mamma, or because you like to?" |
| 45751 | What makes you go home so soon? |
| 45751 | What makes you so quiet, Carrie? |
| 45751 | What parcel? |
| 45751 | What shall I do? |
| 45751 | What shall we do now? |
| 45751 | What shall we do with them? |
| 45751 | What shall we do? |
| 45751 | What was it? 45751 What were you doing upstairs then?" |
| 45751 | What were you doing? |
| 45751 | What will Catherine do with them? |
| 45751 | What will she do? |
| 45751 | What''s Nellie going to do? |
| 45751 | What''s made it so wonderfully nice? |
| 45751 | What''s the matter, Daisy? |
| 45751 | What''s the matter, Daisy? |
| 45751 | What''s the matter, child? 45751 What, my writing do you mean, papa?" |
| 45751 | What_ are_ you crying for, Daisy? |
| 45751 | Where are the white mice? 45751 Where did you come from? |
| 45751 | Where''s Frankie? |
| 45751 | Who gave you your health and good spirits, Nellie? |
| 45751 | Who has been so rude to you, darling? |
| 45751 | Who wants to do it? |
| 45751 | Why could n''t we keep them, and take them down to the garden- house where Daisy''s white mice are? |
| 45751 | Why not? |
| 45751 | Why, Cad? |
| 45751 | Why, I''d like it ever so much, mamma, but--"Well, but what?" |
| 45751 | Why, where''s papa? |
| 45751 | Why, yes; but do you think I could, mamma? |
| 45751 | Why,she said,"who has meddled with my things, I wonder?" |
| 45751 | Will you go and drive too, Daisy? |
| 45751 | Would you stop a minute and mind baby while I call Carrie to be dressed? |
| 45751 | Yes, some Bible lesson, is it not? |
| 45751 | Yes, we''ll never mind, wo n''t we? |
| 45751 | Yes,answered Carrie,"you mean the youngest person in the k- i- c- h- u- n, do n''t you? |
| 45751 | You really think this, Carrie? 45751 You''ve quite given up your Bible subjects, have n''t you?" |
| 45751 | Your face tells whether it has hurt you or no,said her husband in a vexed tone;"you look quite tired out: how could you do so?" |
| 45751 | And how had they come in the box, and how many were there? |
| 45751 | And how was she to put the mice out of the way herself? |
| 45751 | And where should that place be that she was to hide them, not only from mamma, but from every one else? |
| 45751 | And why was it troubled? |
| 45751 | At another time Daisy would have been delighted; but what was a dinner- set to a bird? |
| 45751 | Belle Powers had her tame mouse: why could not she tame these as well? |
| 45751 | Besides, you are growing too big to cry so much, and you do n''t want people to call you a cry- baby, do you?" |
| 45751 | But how can I help crying when I hurt myse''f?" |
| 45751 | But how could she be patient and good- humored with that uncomfortable secret weighing on her mind? |
| 45751 | But now what was she to do with the mice? |
| 45751 | But where had they all been? |
| 45751 | But why, if all this were true, did Carrie fear to betray her secret; why was she so guilty and miserable? |
| 45751 | But you are quite upset with being so disturbed last night, are you not? |
| 45751 | But, Frankie, if I went to heaven wifout you, would you cry?" |
| 45751 | Can you imagine? |
| 45751 | Can you tell what had made such a change in so short a time? |
| 45751 | Carrie was not happy,--no, indeed, how could she be? |
| 45751 | Could n''t Ruth put her to bed?" |
| 45751 | Daisy and Frankie were off together immediately, and the four elder children were settling the question of"what shall we do first?" |
| 45751 | Daisy aroused a little from her melancholy, and said in a plaintive voice,--"Why do n''t a pig wif a ni''gown on him want to go to the kitchen fire?" |
| 45751 | Daisy had her white mice, and was allowed to keep them: why should she not have these little animals, so long as they were kept out of mamma''s way? |
| 45751 | Did her work go smoothly after that? |
| 45751 | Did n''t you know that was too long a walk for you?" |
| 45751 | Did she hurt herself?" |
| 45751 | Do n''t you think it would?" |
| 45751 | Do you want me to, mamma? |
| 45751 | Do? |
| 45751 | For what had Carrie been doing upstairs? |
| 45751 | Have you been hiding because you were frightened about mamma? |
| 45751 | How could she forget? |
| 45751 | How did it happen? |
| 45751 | How was she to tame them, now that she had them? |
| 45751 | How would I hear the baby if it cries?" |
| 45751 | I should fink we_ would n''t_ do any fing mamma do n''t like, would we, Carrie?" |
| 45751 | I''m not afraid of him, are you? |
| 45751 | If I was to plant myse''f and then pour water on my foots like they do on the flowers''foots, then would n''t I grow pretty fast?" |
| 45751 | Is it not so?" |
| 45751 | Is that a fair division, think you?" |
| 45751 | It ca n''t do any harm, can it?" |
| 45751 | It is not possible you were so imprudent, is it?" |
| 45751 | Mamma,_ do_ you think I could learn to make some cake? |
| 45751 | Nellie, do black cats eat white mice?" |
| 45751 | Nellie, if I was a birdie, or a white mouse, would you love me the most?" |
| 45751 | Nellie, what could I do to help mamma?" |
| 45751 | Nellie,"pausing in her capers with an air of deep consideration,--"but, Nellie, if somebody cut off my nose, I ought to cry, ought n''t I?" |
| 45751 | No, that plan would never answer; but what should she do? |
| 45751 | Papa,"she added, turning to her father,"I s''pose you''re going to be busy after tea, ar''n''t you?" |
| 45751 | Ransom said,--"Nellie, what is this you are so busy with, my daughter?" |
| 45751 | Ransom sharply,"are you going to let your mother go upstairs with Daisy?" |
| 45751 | Ransom, when Daisy had gone,"could you not arrange some place up in the garret where Daisy could keep her mice and they need not come in my way?" |
| 45751 | Ransom?" |
| 45751 | Should she carry the box off somewhere, away to the woods or down on the shore, and let the mice out there? |
| 45751 | That is, if we can help it; and I think you could feel a little glad and happy now if you chose: could n''t you?" |
| 45751 | The mice? |
| 45751 | Then, after another silence of a moment or two, she spoke again,--"Nellie, why wo n''t you make one of those brackets for mamma?" |
| 45751 | There was a little hole near the bottom of the box: had the mice gnawed it, trying to make their escape? |
| 45751 | They might watch and keep her away in the daytime; but what was to be done at night? |
| 45751 | Were Carrie''s troubles never coming to an end? |
| 45751 | Were people in heaven ever troubled about the naughty things their loved ones did or had done upon the earth? |
| 45751 | What a poor foolish mamma it is to be so startled at such a harmless little thing as a mouse, is it not, dearie? |
| 45751 | What caused this?" |
| 45751 | What could it be? |
| 45751 | What could they be for? |
| 45751 | What do you say?" |
| 45751 | What do you want?" |
| 45751 | What had she said to Carrie? |
| 45751 | What is wrong?" |
| 45751 | What makes him wicked?" |
| 45751 | What pleasure or good could they be to her? |
| 45751 | What was she to do? |
| 45751 | What was she to do? |
| 45751 | What will mamma say?" |
| 45751 | What"things"did Nellie mean? |
| 45751 | What?" |
| 45751 | Where could the children be? |
| 45751 | Where was she? |
| 45751 | Who are they for, papa?" |
| 45751 | Why did n''t you remind me of the practising and sewing, mamma?" |
| 45751 | Why did you not send her?" |
| 45751 | Why had she not taken time to think about all this? |
| 45751 | Will it make you ill again?" |
| 45751 | Will that do, Daisy?" |
| 45751 | Will they be safe till then, do you think?" |
| 45751 | Will you try it for a week, and see how you like it? |
| 45751 | Wo n''t mamma be in a taking, though?" |
| 45751 | Wo n''t they trouble you?" |
| 45751 | Would you just as lieve I''d have him, for my own?" |
| 45751 | Yes: Daisy had shown true love and tenderness for her mother; but how far had she been from doing the same? |
| 45751 | You really wish that Daisy should have your bird?" |
| 45751 | You want to be hoed, do you? |
| 45751 | You_ have_ managed to live and be happy through it, have you not?" |
| 45751 | _ A COURTSHIP._"WILL you come to the beach now, Nellie?" |
| 45751 | _ HARD AT WORK._"NELLIE, will you come down to the beach now?" |
| 45751 | _ MAKING GINGER- CAKES._ BUT how? |
| 45751 | already?" |
| 45751 | are you ill? |
| 45751 | asked Carrie, and,--"How could I?" |
| 45751 | do n''t you mind? |
| 45751 | do n''t you weally mind? |
| 45751 | here she comes;"then, as Daisy''s little feet pattered into the store- room,"Did you forget the corks, pet?" |
| 45751 | how queer,"she said to herself,"what can Carrie be going up to the garret all alone for? |
| 45751 | said Johnny,"what ails you? |
| 45751 | so early, dear?" |
| 45751 | that is it, is it?" |
| 45751 | those are the slippers mamma was going to work for Johnny, are they not?" |
| 45751 | those ginger- snaps papa likes?" |
| 45751 | was that you went upstairs?" |
| 45751 | what do you fink? |
| 45751 | what do you fink?" |
| 45751 | what is it?" |
| 45751 | where are you? |
| 45751 | who is that? |
| 45751 | who would quarrel with her if she did? |
| 18430 | ''"No use,"ses Miss Marryun in a choked sort o''voice,"why is it no use? |
| 18430 | ''"Wife,"''I interrupted,''"marry"? |
| 18430 | ''A gas cooking- range?'' |
| 18430 | ''After all, does n''t the Scripture command it?'' |
| 18430 | ''Am I not a suitable wife for Henry?'' |
| 18430 | ''Am I to understand that Mr. Rawlings has arrived?'' |
| 18430 | ''Am I to understand that she is n''t sober?'' |
| 18430 | ''Am I to understand that you do not wish to marry her?'' |
| 18430 | ''And did you get the honours, and all those things, Elizabeth?'' |
| 18430 | ''And how do you feel now you''re entirely metamorphosed?'' |
| 18430 | ''And what colour do you expect him to be?'' |
| 18430 | ''And what did you say about it?'' |
| 18430 | ''And, oh, by the way, Elizabeth, what was that you said about a rival-- are you quite sure that she is fair?'' |
| 18430 | ''Are n''t you contented?'' |
| 18430 | ''Are they on the''phone?'' |
| 18430 | ''Are you happy, William?'' |
| 18430 | ''Are you quite sure she stipulated about the beard?'' |
| 18430 | ''Are you so anxious to see Henry at the moment?'' |
| 18430 | ''But do n''t you find it rather awkward when you''re washing your back?'' |
| 18430 | ''But if It is a thing man ca n''t do without, why have n''t we heard of it?'' |
| 18430 | ''But what about the Amalgamated boilermaker?'' |
| 18430 | ''But what did the doctor say?'' |
| 18430 | ''But what good will that do,''m? |
| 18430 | ''But what has all this to do with your flirting with Elizabeth?'' |
| 18430 | ''But what have I done that she should fall in love with me? |
| 18430 | ''But what with? |
| 18430 | ''But why not ask your mother''s opinion of her?'' |
| 18430 | ''But why this hurry? |
| 18430 | ''But you have another spare room, have n''t you?'' |
| 18430 | ''But, my dear Marion, when has he shown you the slightest attention?'' |
| 18430 | ''Ca n''t you be sick, child?'' |
| 18430 | ''Ca n''t you see how serious it is, child? |
| 18430 | ''Ca n''t you----?'' |
| 18430 | ''Can you imagine William quarrelling with any one?'' |
| 18430 | ''Can you imagine what a tremendous amount of determination and will power I required to get myself up like this?'' |
| 18430 | ''Carn''t you get rid of''er?'' |
| 18430 | ''Compose yourself, my good girl,''I said, anxious lest the family should overhear,''what is the matter?'' |
| 18430 | ''Could n''t something be arranged?'' |
| 18430 | ''Could n''t you do a little of your play every evening after dinner?'' |
| 18430 | ''Dear me, Elizabeth, do you mean this?'' |
| 18430 | ''Dish- who?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do about what?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do n''t you ever regret him as he was before?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do n''t you like me as I am at present?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do n''t you understand I''m writing and want to be quiet?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do women behave like that with you, Henry?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do you call this smoking?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do you dine late?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do you mean the boiler one?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do you mean the boiler one?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do you mean to tell me you believe it?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do you really mean that?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do you remember the episode with the white spats and gloves the other day? |
| 18430 | ''Do you send everything to the laundry?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do you so utterly abhor the idea of marriage?'' |
| 18430 | ''Do you think,''he went on,''that a man should ask a woman to marry him only when she has reached maturity?'' |
| 18430 | ''Elizabeth, my good girl,''I exclaimed,''is it so easy to accomplish as all that?'' |
| 18430 | ''Elizabeth,''I said coldly,''what is wrong? |
| 18430 | ''Elizabeth,''I said sternly,''do you mean to tell me you were listening?'' |
| 18430 | ''Enough to make a good lather, should you think,''m?'' |
| 18430 | ''Entirely metamorphosed, am I?'' |
| 18430 | ''Excuse me, sir,''she said, speaking with apparent hesitation,''but-- but-- do you mind if I speak to you?'' |
| 18430 | ''Firstly the ipecac.----''''Oh, must I?'' |
| 18430 | ''Grilled,''m? |
| 18430 | ''Have I not betrayed the trust you always reposed in me?'' |
| 18430 | ''Have you a hot water circulator?'' |
| 18430 | ''Have you given her an emetic?'' |
| 18430 | ''Have you had a quarrel with your young man?'' |
| 18430 | ''How are you feeling, dear?'' |
| 18430 | ''How can that help? |
| 18430 | ''How dare you openly assist his plans after confessing to taking his money as a bribe? |
| 18430 | ''How do you do, William?'' |
| 18430 | ''How do you feel now?'' |
| 18430 | ''How much did you give her, Elizabeth?'' |
| 18430 | ''How-- how-- do you feel, now, darling?'' |
| 18430 | ''I am to understand that you wish for my aid in a love affair?'' |
| 18430 | ''I suppose you can cook all right?'' |
| 18430 | ''I suppose you have outside daily help?'' |
| 18430 | ''I suppose, now, you have never heard of a woman thrusting her photograph where it is not wanted accompanied by verse of an amorous character?'' |
| 18430 | ''I''eard yer,''said Elizabeth,''and do you sit there and mean to tell me that you''re going to break a gentle woman''s''eart deliberate?'' |
| 18430 | ''I-- I--_flirt_, and with Elizabeth?'' |
| 18430 | ''If I can assist you in any way,''I continued,''and intervene----''''Inter- wot?'' |
| 18430 | ''If''e goes to Manchester, there I goes,''she went on;''I suppose I''d quite easy get a situation there?'' |
| 18430 | ''Indeed, Henry?'' |
| 18430 | ''Is anything wrong with the invention?'' |
| 18430 | ''Is anything wrong?'' |
| 18430 | ''Is he coming?'' |
| 18430 | ''Is it anything very important?'' |
| 18430 | ''Is n''t Henry coming in? |
| 18430 | ''Is n''t Mr. Roarings an Irishman, an''was born in Dubling? |
| 18430 | ''Is n''t that rather a handicap for your future wife?'' |
| 18430 | ''Is that what you''re doing just now?'' |
| 18430 | ''Is what possible?'' |
| 18430 | ''Is-- is-- a beard an appurtenance?'' |
| 18430 | ''It surely ca n''t be your heart?'' |
| 18430 | ''It''s only your_ joie de vivre_ and natural_ bonhomie_, is n''t it, Elizabeth?'' |
| 18430 | ''It''s this kind of thing, you know-- where does it all lead to? |
| 18430 | ''Lamb or''am,''I repeated dully,''lamorram? |
| 18430 | ''Lamb or''am?'' |
| 18430 | ''Let what grow?'' |
| 18430 | ''Look here, ca n''t I go without a smoke for once without my entire anatomy being held up for discussion?'' |
| 18430 | ''Look here, she has n''t murdered any one, has she?'' |
| 18430 | ''Madame, what do you mean to insinuate?'' |
| 18430 | ''Me? |
| 18430 | ''Must I change my expressions, my thoughts, my very mode of living to match the garments I wear?'' |
| 18430 | ''Must I, Mama?'' |
| 18430 | ''My dear, what do you mean?'' |
| 18430 | ''No signs of dinner yet? |
| 18430 | ''No,''said Marion,''he----''''Why not?'' |
| 18430 | ''Not safe, Marion?'' |
| 18430 | ''Of course he is n''t,''replied Henry vehemently,''do you think a chap is ever deceived by anything like that? |
| 18430 | ''Oh, William,''I gasped,''is it possible?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oh, must I, Mama?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oh, must I, Mama?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oh, must he?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oh, so she''s been bleating, has she?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oh,_ must_ I, Mama?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oh,_ must_ I?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oo ses that tom- my- rot?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oo ses the Signs is wrong?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oo ses the Signs is wrong?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oo was listenin'', I''d like to know?'' |
| 18430 | ''Oo with? |
| 18430 | ''Oo''s arskin''you to?'' |
| 18430 | ''Ow can you love him?" |
| 18430 | ''Perhaps you mean to marry him yourself, Elizabeth?'' |
| 18430 | ''Perhaps you regret it was not yourself in that enviable position, darling?'' |
| 18430 | ''Please may I have my custard_ now_?'' |
| 18430 | ''So will Marion, wo n''t you, dear?'' |
| 18430 | ''Something seems to have happened to him?'' |
| 18430 | ''Surely he has n''t started another invention?'' |
| 18430 | ''Then do you think Marion would mind sharing my room?'' |
| 18430 | ''Then had n''t you better smash something that is of no value at once,''was my obvious suggestion,''and get it over?'' |
| 18430 | ''Then how do you want me to help you?'' |
| 18430 | ''Then if you and William have n''t quarrelled, what is wrong?'' |
| 18430 | ''Then who----?'' |
| 18430 | ''Then why ca n''t you?'' |
| 18430 | ''Then why renounce your pipe at all?'' |
| 18430 | ''Then you have a boy to do the windows, knives and boots?'' |
| 18430 | ''Then, may I get up an hour earlier in the morning to practise, Mama, dear?'' |
| 18430 | ''Uncertain about what?'' |
| 18430 | ''Was my advice for better or for worse?'' |
| 18430 | ''Well, is not the whole position dreadful? |
| 18430 | ''What are we to do?'' |
| 18430 | ''What are you talking about?'' |
| 18430 | ''What can it mean?'' |
| 18430 | ''What do you mean?'' |
| 18430 | ''What do you mean?'' |
| 18430 | ''What do you mean?'' |
| 18430 | ''What does it matter about me, after all?'' |
| 18430 | ''What has he been doing now?'' |
| 18430 | ''What have you got there, William?'' |
| 18430 | ''What is all this nonsense?'' |
| 18430 | ''What is he like?'' |
| 18430 | ''What is it?'' |
| 18430 | ''What is it?'' |
| 18430 | ''What is the meaning of all this-- why the flawless trousers, the immaculate morning coat?'' |
| 18430 | ''What is this?'' |
| 18430 | ''What made you let him do it?'' |
| 18430 | ''What makes you suggest he''s fallen in love with me?'' |
| 18430 | ''What on earth are you raving about?'' |
| 18430 | ''What on earth are you talking about, old chap?'' |
| 18430 | ''What on earth do you mean?'' |
| 18430 | ''What was the preposterous idea?'' |
| 18430 | ''What''s all this parleying in the hall, noise without, voices heard"off,"and so forth?'' |
| 18430 | ''What''s wrong-- is it your liver?'' |
| 18430 | ''What, Elizabeth, are you going to be married next?'' |
| 18430 | ''Who told you she had?'' |
| 18430 | ''Who was it described charm as a-- a-- sort of a bloom on a woman, and said if she had that she did n''t need anything else?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why does n''t Henry come in?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why is The Kid taking medicine?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why not?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why should I marry Elizabeth?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why should I observe William?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why should he wish to do that now, with all arrangements made?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why should n''t you speak to me if you want to?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why should she say that if it is n''t true? |
| 18430 | ''Why terrible, Marion? |
| 18430 | ''Why terrible?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why, Marion, what has become of your photo?'' |
| 18430 | ''Why, what has happened to you?'' |
| 18430 | ''William,''I said, looking at him steadily in the eye,''you want my candid opinion?'' |
| 18430 | ''Wot will you''ave for lunch,''m?'' |
| 18430 | ''Wot''s''orrible about it? |
| 18430 | ''Yes, sir,''he invariably concurs,''any difference in measurements, sir?'' |
| 18430 | ''Yes?'' |
| 18430 | ''You do n''t mean that some one else has thought of It before you?'' |
| 18430 | ''You do n''t mean you''re going to wear those?'' |
| 18430 | ''You do n''t think he''s fallen in love with you, Netta?'' |
| 18430 | ''You say it was n''t meant fer you? |
| 18430 | ''You surely do n''t think there''s anything like that between them?'' |
| 18430 | ''You surely have n''t quarrelled with William?'' |
| 18430 | ''You think that I-- er-- I mean one-- ought to face it?'' |
| 18430 | ''You''avent got any proper bedding in the spare room now,''ave you?'' |
| 18430 | ''You-- you-- didn''t tell''em anything, I''ope?'' |
| 18430 | ''Your lungs, then?'' |
| 18430 | ''_ More_ peculiar, I suppose you mean?'' |
| 18430 | ''_ Must_ I, Mama? |
| 18430 | ''_ You''re a man!_''''What else should I be?'' |
| 18430 | ----my custard, now, if you please, Elizabeth?'' |
| 18430 | Am I not a suitable wife for him?'' |
| 18430 | At last I said:''Why do n''t you smoke a pipe, Mr. Rawlings? |
| 18430 | At last she opened her lips and said,''May I have----''''A basin?'' |
| 18430 | Believe me, Miss Warrington, I am not worthy----''''I think you are,''I replied softly,''and is n''t that enough?'' |
| 18430 | But how could an assessor know that? |
| 18430 | But how shall I ever get the leisure to complete it?'' |
| 18430 | But supposing my mother should n''t approve of my choice? |
| 18430 | But tell me,''I added, looking earnestly into his face,''does n''t this outward change affect you inwardly as well-- just a little? |
| 18430 | But, I ask, how are they to be mothers-- and still remain''nice''--if they are not first to be selected as wives? |
| 18430 | CHAPTER XI''Have you observed William closely, recently, Netta?'' |
| 18430 | CHAPTER XIII''Henry, do you think William has been looking particularly unhappy lately?'' |
| 18430 | Ca n''t I finish my custard first?'' |
| 18430 | Ca n''t I suggest anything----?'' |
| 18430 | Ca n''t it be brought off like?'' |
| 18430 | Can any words depict my astonishment at seeing him so suddenly transformed, glorified, redeemed and clean- shaven? |
| 18430 | Can nothing save her?'' |
| 18430 | Could n''t something be said to them, do you think-- a hint thrown out from time to time?'' |
| 18430 | Did William, like Cyrano, shudder when his eye rested even on his own shadow? |
| 18430 | Did he feel that because of his physical failings the love of woman must be for ever denied him? |
| 18430 | Did n''t he go on trying and trying until he succeeded? |
| 18430 | Did n''t you once tell me that my future husband would cross water to meet me? |
| 18430 | Did you ever dream of white horses, Elizabeth?'' |
| 18430 | Did-- did-- the time seem long?'' |
| 18430 | Do n''t say it''s that there Miss''Arringay''oo wos a- settin''''er cap so''ard at''i m the other night?'' |
| 18430 | Do n''t say the piano came in two in your hands?'' |
| 18430 | Do n''t you think I acted for the best?'' |
| 18430 | Do you ever see any one reading a morning paper at, say, four o''clock in the afternoon? |
| 18430 | Do you know the time?'' |
| 18430 | Do you think William''s disillusionment will be as abrupt as all that?'' |
| 18430 | Do you think an ill- placed affection can be combated-- that is, in time, be utterly stamped out?'' |
| 18430 | Do you think it is making for the happiness of two people if they are united under these peculiar circumstances?'' |
| 18430 | Do you think, if a great and honoured statesman dies, sub- editors care two pins about his public services? |
| 18430 | Does n''t it give you a feeling of contentment when you have done a good action? |
| 18430 | Elizabeth approached me, and bending down, said in a hoarse whisper,''Wot is it-- carn''t you get rid of''er?'' |
| 18430 | Even as Samson''s strength lay in his hair, do you think my reason lay in my beard?'' |
| 18430 | Had n''t you better think it over first?'' |
| 18430 | Have you ever met a person in love who would listen to sound advice of the sort? |
| 18430 | Her habit of saying''_ Must_ I?'' |
| 18430 | Her voice, concise and direct, rapped out:''So you require a cook- general?'' |
| 18430 | How dare you concoct such tales?'' |
| 18430 | How is it I come in and find a man kissing you?'' |
| 18430 | How long would it be before we reached this stage of debacle? |
| 18430 | I cried as he retreated to the door,''why are you so obtuse? |
| 18430 | I do n''t think the position of a married woman discovered kissing a man other than her husband_ is_ enviable; do you?'' |
| 18430 | I exclaimed,''did they get me a waitress after all?'' |
| 18430 | I hope it has n''t been worrying its fluffy little head with writing and making its hubby- wubby anxious?'' |
| 18430 | I inquired, still smarting under recent experiences,''has he much moustache-- I mean, is he nice?'' |
| 18430 | I knew, however, that he was longing to bark out:''Ca n''t you do something to stop that everlasting sniffing? |
| 18430 | I prefers''em entirely without, but beggars ca n''t be choosers, can they?" |
| 18430 | I struggled to reconstruct this sentence and then, remembering what was required of me, I remarked,''And your references?'' |
| 18430 | I want to ask you if I can introduce you to my mother?'' |
| 18430 | I-- I-- love you-- isn''t it enough when I say that?'' |
| 18430 | If I deceived Henry, how much easier is it for her to deceive William? |
| 18430 | If he really wants these sort of girls why does n''t he give a name and address to which they can be forwarded? |
| 18430 | In what way does he touch on the subject? |
| 18430 | Is n''t it an idiotic situation?'' |
| 18430 | Is n''t it surprising how the petty annoyances of life can wear away the strong bulwarks of trust and friendship formed by years of understanding? |
| 18430 | Is n''t there a sayin''somewhere about not knowing the day nor the''our when the young man may come along? |
| 18430 | Is n''t there anything I can say to cheer you up? |
| 18430 | Is not the risk too great?'' |
| 18430 | Is she honest?'' |
| 18430 | It said,''I think you''re wantin''a cook- general?'' |
| 18430 | It''s a cleaner habit than pipe- smoking, is n''t it?'' |
| 18430 | Look wot''e gave me to- day?'' |
| 18430 | May I go on when you''ve finished writing?'' |
| 18430 | May I have my custard now?'' |
| 18430 | My whole being seemed to centre itself in the mute inquiry:''Shall I suit?'' |
| 18430 | Netta, you are wonderful-- how did you do it? |
| 18430 | No, no, let me write while I am in my present frenzy of philanthropy?'' |
| 18430 | Of whom are you speaking?'' |
| 18430 | Oh, Netta, why is life so hard to a woman? |
| 18430 | Perhaps it was the remembrance of an article of Netta''s I once read entitled,''Should Women Propose?'' |
| 18430 | Roarings?'' |
| 18430 | Seems strange, does n''t it?'' |
| 18430 | She can cook steaks, dear-- juicy steaks, pork with crackling----''''Sage and onion stuffing?'' |
| 18430 | She''s just the sort of wife----''[ Illustration:''Wot''s''orrible about it?''] |
| 18430 | Sickening outlook, was n''t it? |
| 18430 | Supposing they came to me with reproaches, even recriminations? |
| 18430 | The subject of the article I now began to write was''Should Women Propose?'' |
| 18430 | Then I s''pose I ca n''t give''i m that there fotograft of you?'' |
| 18430 | W''y is n''t''e married?'' |
| 18430 | Was n''t it kind of her?'' |
| 18430 | Well, I always put the best of myself into my work-- I ca n''t write anything in a hasty, slovenly manner-- but where does it lead to? |
| 18430 | Well, wot are you goin''to_ do_ about it?'' |
| 18430 | What about it?'' |
| 18430 | What are we to do?'' |
| 18430 | What can it mean, Netta?'' |
| 18430 | What did you say to him?'' |
| 18430 | What do you mean by those words, girl? |
| 18430 | What do you think he meant by that, dear?'' |
| 18430 | What do you think of that?'' |
| 18430 | What had come over the woman? |
| 18430 | What is there about me to attract any woman?'' |
| 18430 | What is this you tell me about something having happened to him?'' |
| 18430 | What made you do it, William?'' |
| 18430 | What more do you want than that?'' |
| 18430 | What right had he to put it on to me? |
| 18430 | What should it matter to him who is coming?'' |
| 18430 | What sinister and turbid happenings were connected with Elizabeth and her last place? |
| 18430 | What was my astonishment now to see her spring to her feet and, going white with suppressed anger, exclaim,''Who has dared to take it? |
| 18430 | When you are addressing photographs, may I ask you to do it with lowered voice, or at all events in a purely conversational tone?'' |
| 18430 | Where is he?'' |
| 18430 | Who could have thought that I, only a few days ago placidly drifting down the stream of life, should be jerked into such a maelstrom of difficulties? |
| 18430 | Who created those trousers?'' |
| 18430 | Who has_ dared_, I say?'' |
| 18430 | Why ca n''t she be the leading spirit if she wishes, without being humiliated? |
| 18430 | Why must she always be the one to stifle her feelings, repress her natural instincts, wait for man to take the lead? |
| 18430 | Why on earth should she speak to me about Miss Warrington, Henry''s sister? |
| 18430 | Why should I so suddenly observe your facial aspect? |
| 18430 | Why should n''t women propose?'' |
| 18430 | Why, oh, why does n''t the doctor come? |
| 18430 | Will you put in a word for me with Miss Worryington from time to time? |
| 18430 | With bitterness or curiosity? |
| 18430 | Would life be worth living if one awoke in a morning to the knowledge of the rites that every day would bring forth? |
| 18430 | You are, no doubt, acquainted with her likes and prejudices?'' |
| 18430 | You did flirt with him, did n''t you, Netta?'' |
| 18430 | You know the adage,"Out of sight out of mind"?'' |
| 18430 | You say he was particularly anxious to have her photograph?'' |
| 18430 | You say you want to know wot it is Miss Marryun likes about you?'' |
| 18430 | You see, I always hoped I should fall in love with a quiet, homely, staid sort of girl, but dash it all, you ca n''t govern these things, can you?'' |

| 18430 | [ Illustration:''Am I not a suitable wife for Henry?''] |
| 18430 | [ Illustration:''Carn''t you get rid of''er?''] |
| 18430 | [ Illustration:''Do you mean the boiler one?'' |

| 18430 | high kicks?'' |
| 18430 | how soon can you come?'' |
| 43983 | ''_ Var god och gif mig ett stycke vildt._''It is almost intelligible, is n''t it dear? 43983 A whole month?" |
| 43983 | Am I such a dreadful tyrant, Letitia? |
| 43983 | An hour and a half? 43983 And dinner?" |
| 43983 | And have you ever been a cook? |
| 43983 | And she spoke of him as Mike? |
| 43983 | And the Alsatian chef? |
| 43983 | And the''to- morrow we die''does n''t seem so hard? |
| 43983 | And then-- what do you get? |
| 43983 | And why, pray? |
| 43983 | Anyway, they do n''t matter, do they, as they are not here? 43983 Ask her?" |
| 43983 | Aunt Julia? |
| 43983 | But does she know how? |
| 43983 | But what''s to be done? |
| 43983 | But where''s the French system of economy? |
| 43983 | Call yourselves human beings? 43983 Cheer up, Archie,"she went on,"we were both silly, gloomy things, and there is no reason why we should feel so oppressed, is there? |
| 43983 | Do n''t you see, Archie, that it was important to follow up the gold plates with something dramatic? 43983 Do n''t you think, Letitia, that one soup would have been enough-- one thoroughly artistic and satisfactory soup?" |
| 43983 | Do you know--with a smile--"that I am studying it? |
| 43983 | Do you remember a certain quotation from Bacon, Miss Perfoozle? |
| 43983 | Do you think, Letitia, that she also takes a cold bath in the morning, among the bacon and eggs, and things? |
| 43983 | Good morning, Jane,I heard Letitia say at last, tremulously;"will you please ask Mrs. Dinsmore to step to the''phone? |
| 43983 | Had she been in Paris, Letitia? |
| 43983 | Has n''t the Pope a cook? |
| 43983 | How do you know? |
| 43983 | How_ can_ you be so petty, Archie? 43983 How_ could_ we have?" |
| 43983 | How_ did_ you guess? |
| 43983 | I feel I ought to laugh at your humor, but you''ll forgive me, Archie, wo n''t you, if I fail to discover its value? 43983 I suppose she is an excellent cook?" |
| 43983 | I''m sorry if I spoke harshly,she said, kissing me,"but-- but-- things do seem to go so wrong, dear, do n''t they? |
| 43983 | If a hostess ca n''t eat her own food, who can? |
| 43983 | If you ever eat oranges,she persisted in continuing,"what are you going to do with the peel? |
| 43983 | In the meantime, dear,I said patiently,"what shall we do for breakfast? |
| 43983 | Is it catching? |
| 43983 | Is it such a fearful name? |
| 43983 | Is n''t any Vanderbilt good enough for us-- to get a cook from? 43983 Is n''t it delightful?" |
| 43983 | Is n''t it exasperating? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it odd? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it quite true that I love you? |
| 43983 | Is n''t what exasperating? |
| 43983 | Is she so fearfully old? |
| 43983 | Is she the best example you can find, Mr. Tamworth? 43983 Is there nothing more, Letitia?" |
| 43983 | It is a prettier term, is n''t it? 43983 It seems almost a pity that she_ is_ Americanized, do n''t you think, dear?" |
| 43983 | It seems silly,I said,"to abandon our home as soon as we get into it, does n''t it, Letitia? |
| 43983 | It''s not that I mind her insolence,she sobbed,"we were going to send her off anyway, were n''t we? |
| 43983 | Miss Gerda Lyberg? |
| 43983 | Miss Montmorency? |
| 43983 | New York''s good enough for Aunt Delia; ai n''t it, Auntie? 43983 Now, was n''t it easy?'' |
| 43983 | Oh, they will, will they? |
| 43983 | One thing, Letitia,I said,"what_ could_ we call the woman? |
| 43983 | She has no right--"What can I do, Archie? 43983 Strange, is n''t it, Letitia, that English and American menus should always affect French?" |
| 43983 | Tell her? 43983 That beastly, sticky, obnoxious little imp is named Letitia?" |
| 43983 | The best of her, Letitia? 43983 Then your society depends upon these little alls?" |
| 43983 | There''s no law to prevent our dressing Anna in just that style, if we like, is there, Archie? 43983 Was it a lunatic asylum, or an intelligence office?" |
| 43983 | Was she ever in France? |
| 43983 | Was this Mrs. McCaffrey''s room? |
| 43983 | Well,said Letitia, and the tears rose to her eyes,"ca n''t you-- can''t you-- address me as''dear,''or''love,''as much as possible? |
| 43983 | What about dinner? |
| 43983 | What did she say about the Vanderbilts? |
| 43983 | What does she look like? |
| 43983 | What does the name matter, you silly boy? 43983 What is it, dear?" |
| 43983 | What is there to know? |
| 43983 | What shall I say to her, Archie? |
| 43983 | What''s''as for the above''? |
| 43983 | What''s_ Perigueux sauce_? |
| 43983 | What-- what do you mean? |
| 43983 | What-- what is it? |
| 43983 | What_ is_ the matter? 43983 Where is our pretty dinner set, I wonder?" |
| 43983 | Where''s the_ pot au feu_ with the delicious soup, and the daintily served meat? 43983 Which of the Vanderbilts was it?" |
| 43983 | Who in the world would own a cook like that? |
| 43983 | Who on earth is that? |
| 43983 | Who? |
| 43983 | Why antagonize the newspapers? |
| 43983 | Why bother about abolishing bad servants when there are no others? 43983 Why did you eat it?" |
| 43983 | Why do you call her Aunt Delia? |
| 43983 | Why not now? 43983 Why should I, Letitia?" |
| 43983 | Why should a young, brainy man like you,continued Letitia, beaming fondly upon me,"worry himself about what_ might_ happen in the distant future? |
| 43983 | Why should she cry? 43983 Why should she cry?" |
| 43983 | Why should we be intimidated by a cook? |
| 43983 | Why should we mind? 43983 Why should you think so?" |
| 43983 | Why, I''m a great diner- out, and I know all about it, and-- shall I read you a bit more about the Women''s Domestic Guild? |
| 43983 | Will you take_ consommé julienne_, or_ crème d''asperges_? |
| 43983 | Will you tell her, Archie? 43983 Wo n''t either of you help me up with me aunt?" |
| 43983 | Would you eat it again to- morrow, under the same circumstances? |
| 43983 | You do n''t mean to tell me,he went on,"that you''re blind?" |
| 43983 | You do n''t think she is too frightful? |
| 43983 | You feel empty? |
| 43983 | You have an intelligence office, then? |
| 43983 | You mean it is annoying that Anna was n''t decapitated by the trolley car, maimed in the wreck, or dead in the L station? |
| 43983 | You prefer help? |
| 43983 | _ Hur gammal är ni?_Letitia explained, simply meant,"How old are you?" |
| 43983 | _ Hur gammal är ni?_Letitia explained, simply meant,"How old are you?" |
| 43983 | _ Talar ni svensk?_proved to be nothing more outrageous than"Do you speak Swedish?" |
| 43983 | _ Talar ni svensk?_proved to be nothing more outrageous than"Do you speak Swedish?" |
| 43983 | _ Talar ni svensk?_she asked, but I had no idea what she meant. |
| 43983 | ''Do you know the two private galleries of Mr. Smith, the merchant, and Mr. Muller, the chancellor?'' |
| 43983 | ''I am very hungry,''''_ Jag är myckel hungrig._''Rather pretty, is n''t it? |
| 43983 | ''Oh,''she remarked quite scornfully,''and how do you separate grapes? |
| 43983 | 151 say?" |
| 43983 | After all, if she were pleased, why need I worry? |
| 43983 | Ah, my dear young people, why-- why should you torture human souls? |
| 43983 | Ai n''t it stylish?" |
| 43983 | All these women harp so on jellies, do n''t they, Archie? |
| 43983 | Allow you to have a good time? |
| 43983 | Alluring pictures of natty maids in jaunty caps and perfectly fitting dresses, as an answer to the question,"Do you need help?" |
| 43983 | Am I not right, Archie?" |
| 43983 | Amusing? |
| 43983 | And Mrs. Potzenheimer? |
| 43983 | And is n''t it much better to know that a cook is a woman above the usual old- time, sordid, servant brand? |
| 43983 | And where''s the fun?" |
| 43983 | And you would sooner please me than Arthur Tamworth, oh, most charming of wives? |
| 43983 | And your grocery boxes? |
| 43983 | And your melon rinds? |
| 43983 | And your old bones? |
| 43983 | And your potato skins? |
| 43983 | And your tin cans? |
| 43983 | And, then, Archie, what do you think she asked me? |
| 43983 | And-- and-- don''t you think, dear, that saving is awfully provincial and petty, and-- and-- Brooklyn?" |
| 43983 | And-- what''s in that paper parcel?" |
| 43983 | Archer?" |
| 43983 | Are n''t you, Archie?" |
| 43983 | Are you listening, Archie?" |
| 43983 | Are you listening, dear? |
| 43983 | At the telephone again:"Have the East River dragged? |
| 43983 | Besides, how could she know what our principles were? |
| 43983 | Boil six hours--""What-- what are we trying to make?" |
| 43983 | But I can try, ca n''t I? |
| 43983 | But do you think it quite nice, or-- advisable?" |
| 43983 | But one ca n''t think of everything, can one, Archie?" |
| 43983 | But what do you think of the dinner, dear? |
| 43983 | By- the- by, have you a fire- escape?" |
| 43983 | CHAPTER V"What_ can_ have happened, Archie?" |
| 43983 | Ca n''t they bring it to a head? |
| 43983 | Ca n''t you see that I am having great fun? |
| 43983 | Can they condescend to consider themselves as servants, even of the Almighty?" |
| 43983 | Can your cooks bear to read the Bible? |
| 43983 | Could anything sound more repulsive? |
| 43983 | Could it be that our brief happiness was for ever over? |
| 43983 | Could it be the fault of our"system"--admitting, for the sake of argument, that we have a system? |
| 43983 | Did they dine at restaurants? |
| 43983 | Did we suppose that they were uncomfortable because they preferred discomfort? |
| 43983 | Did you say intelligence office? |
| 43983 | Did- ems leave- ems all alone- ems? |
| 43983 | Do n''t be angry, dear, but do n''t you think it''s a bit far- fetched? |
| 43983 | Do n''t you agree with me, Letitia? |
| 43983 | Do n''t you agree with me, dear? |
| 43983 | Do n''t you agree with me?" |
| 43983 | Do n''t you see that it is impossible? |
| 43983 | Do n''t you think so, Archie? |
| 43983 | Do n''t you think so? |
| 43983 | Do n''t you think that it is a great improvement on the old Ollendorff system? |
| 43983 | Do n''t you think, Archie, that the Ibsen inheritances are always most fascinating? |
| 43983 | Do you fancy that a mere cook can either make or mar me? |
| 43983 | Do you mind? |
| 43983 | Do you mind?" |
| 43983 | Does it appeal to you? |
| 43983 | Does n''t it all sound horrid in English?" |
| 43983 | Fairfax?" |
| 43983 | Fairfax?" |
| 43983 | Forget it, and hustle for another cook? |
| 43983 | Gerda,_ hur gammal är ni_?" |
| 43983 | Had they cooks? |
| 43983 | Had they homes? |
| 43983 | Had we a reliable butler? |
| 43983 | Have they, Archie?" |
| 43983 | Have you ever heard of a typewriter girl who has come to grief, and who was n''t beautiful? |
| 43983 | He wrote_ The Little Minister_ and_ Quality Street_, did n''t he? |
| 43983 | Hope I''m not late?" |
| 43983 | How can they teach women who wo n''t learn? |
| 43983 | How can you say such a thing? |
| 43983 | How could I help it? |
| 43983 | How could Letitia toboggan from Cicero to Mrs. Potzenheimer? |
| 43983 | How could refined and educated people elect to permit the mere matter of domestic drudgery to be a"question"? |
| 43983 | How could they possibly be equal to those who were not so born?" |
| 43983 | How could"home"be anything else but Anglo- Saxon? |
| 43983 | How dare you tell me the subject of your indelicate smoking- room orgies? |
| 43983 | How should she? |
| 43983 | How_ can_ I find out?" |
| 43983 | How_ could_ she be gentle, and kind, and tender, confronted with all these wretched subterfuges and false pretenses? |
| 43983 | How_ should_ we know? |
| 43983 | However-- I wonder if we have any ginger in the house, Archie? |
| 43983 | I always feel sorry to leave any place, even if I hate it; do n''t you, Archie? |
| 43983 | I ask you, why?" |
| 43983 | I asked myself apprehensively why it was on the floor, and not on Anna? |
| 43983 | I could n''t well refuse, could I? |
| 43983 | I cried enthusiastically,"why not talk to her over the telephone? |
| 43983 | I did think of having it_ à la Newburg_, but it is a bit too heavy, do n''t you think, dear? |
| 43983 | I exclaimed deprecatingly,"how can you say such a thing? |
| 43983 | I exclaimed with a groan,"why rub it in, Letitia? |
| 43983 | I forgot to ask, and we really ought to know, do n''t you think?" |
| 43983 | I heard her say:''What cheer?'' |
| 43983 | I should n''t care a bit; should you? |
| 43983 | I suppose that colored people feel pallor, but they certainly ca n''t show it, can they? |
| 43983 | I thought he looked rather feverish just before he left, did n''t you, Letitia? |
| 43983 | I want your dear little niece to stay in her drawing- room--""Stay in her-- what?" |
| 43983 | I wonder if she would like an old rose garden or if she would be satisfied with any old garden? |
| 43983 | I wonder what we had better do? |
| 43983 | If everybody had to dust, and sweep, and sew, and cook for herself, what would become of all the graces of life, of literature, art, music? |
| 43983 | If so, how? |
| 43983 | If this woman ever ate, what did she eat and why ca n''t we have the same? |
| 43983 | In a voice shiveringly Arctic, she asked:"What_ is_ the servant question, Mr. Tamworth? |
| 43983 | In addition to Madame''s exorbitant salary, there will be Leonie, and-- and-- do you think we could afford it?" |
| 43983 | Is n''t it a charming idea? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it clever? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it cruel? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it disgraceful, Archie? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it fun, Archie? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it funny, Archie? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it odd, dear, for a German? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it positively bewildering? |
| 43983 | Is n''t it wicked, Archie? |
| 43983 | Is n''t that enough, Archie? |
| 43983 | Is n''t the''home''lovely? |
| 43983 | Is there one in New York? |
| 43983 | It all seems delightful, does n''t it, dear?" |
| 43983 | It is a household matter, is n''t it, dear? |
| 43983 | It is very coarse, is n''t it? |
| 43983 | It really is fun, though, is n''t it?" |
| 43983 | It seems so-- so-- little, does n''t it, dear? |
| 43983 | It''s a hideous language, anyway, is n''t it, Archie? |
| 43983 | Letitia anticipated a jest, for she followed up my remark with"Do n''t tell me that you are-- going-- away-- from-- here?" |
| 43983 | May I-- may I, dear Mrs. Fairfax, take a peep at the room you give to the dear sister who is so willing and anxious to wait on you?" |
| 43983 | May I-- may I-- go and see about it?" |
| 43983 | McCaffrey?" |
| 43983 | Miriam is n''t so bad, is it, Archie? |
| 43983 | Mix one pint of raw, strong, mirepoix--""Raw, strong what?" |
| 43983 | Must we alter all this? |
| 43983 | Nice for me, eh? |
| 43983 | Not the mayor, I suppose, or the aldermen; not-- er-- the coroner?" |
| 43983 | Now, in my book, the only answer to the question''How old are you?'' |
| 43983 | Oh, she talked a good deal, and in a high- falutin''strain, and I liked her, but--""Did you engage her?" |
| 43983 | Oh, wo n''t it be fun, Archie?" |
| 43983 | Olga--""What about Olga?" |
| 43983 | On the spur of the moment, Archie, I had decided to present her with a black alpaca dress--""And then--?" |
| 43983 | One goes there and just selects a cook from a whole gathering of them? |
| 43983 | Otherwise, why place the bathroom next to the dining- room? |
| 43983 | Quite usual? |
| 43983 | Shall we-- shall we go and see?" |
| 43983 | She had cooked for the French embassy in Washington, and for various people who had honored places in"Who''s Who?" |
| 43983 | She has no latch- key, and ca n''t get in--""Ca n''t get in?" |
| 43983 | She was a stout matron and she said to me, very rudely:''Is this your first time in hell?'' |
| 43983 | She was as happy as a lark, until--""I suppose she needed a change of scene?" |
| 43983 | So he talked about Olga? |
| 43983 | So long as we have a good cook, what matters anything? |
| 43983 | Suppose you were ill in a strange place, would n''t you be grateful to anybody who tried to make you comfortable? |
| 43983 | Suppose you_ were_ incapacitated, Archie, do you imagine that I am quite helpless? |
| 43983 | Suppose-- suppose-- it dies before Mrs. McCaffrey gets back? |
| 43983 | Tell her? |
| 43983 | That is fair, is n''t it? |
| 43983 | That settles it, does n''t it? |
| 43983 | The old rigid idea of mewing a girl up in her room all evening is a bit out of date-- don''t you think so, dear, in these enlightened days? |
| 43983 | The singing appears to point to Anna, do n''t you think, dear? |
| 43983 | They often, in fact, generally, go away like that when they do n''t like a place? |
| 43983 | This is really an experience, Archie, is n''t it? |
| 43983 | This is surely our festival time, and why should n''t Anna be in it? |
| 43983 | To us, New York seems funny, does n''t it? |
| 43983 | Was it all a hateful conspiracy, a fell plot to effect my ruin, or-- or was it French economy? |
| 43983 | Was it really so long? |
| 43983 | Was n''t it funny, Archie? |
| 43983 | Was n''t it pretty? |
| 43983 | Was the meat of the best quality? |
| 43983 | Was the table as bountiful this season as last? |
| 43983 | Was there anything exaggerated in these demands? |
| 43983 | We ca n''t all be equal, can we-- except in theory? |
| 43983 | We know that, do n''t we? |
| 43983 | We know that, do n''t we? |
| 43983 | We might ask Aunt Julia, or Mrs. Archer, or--""Tamworth?" |
| 43983 | We shall visit London, Paris, Rome, Vienna, Berlin, Dresden, Jersey City, Poughkeepsie, Schenectady--""You allowed me to waste my precious time here?" |
| 43983 | Were the vegetables fresh or canned? |
| 43983 | Were there any people in this broad land, who, by dint of a life''s persistence, had managed to understand their cook? |
| 43983 | What are we to do? |
| 43983 | What can it mean?" |
| 43983 | What can we do? |
| 43983 | What could we do? |
| 43983 | What did Anna Carter care for a good home, except to go away from it every night? |
| 43983 | What did it mean? |
| 43983 | What did you have?" |
| 43983 | What difference can it make? |
| 43983 | What difference does it make? |
| 43983 | What do you do to get the air?" |
| 43983 | What do you say to mentioning matinée tickets once a week?" |
| 43983 | What do you say, Letitia?" |
| 43983 | What do you say? |
| 43983 | What does it matter to you how she regards you? |
| 43983 | What has happened? |
| 43983 | What is the matter with you? |
| 43983 | What is the use of suggesting such an impossible case? |
| 43983 | What must these people think of a young man, excitedly discussing the ethics of food in the Sixth Avenue elevated railroad?" |
| 43983 | What right have we to do it?" |
| 43983 | What say you, boy? |
| 43983 | What were you saying on the subject, dear? |
| 43983 | What would you like to see?" |
| 43983 | What''s the use of saving and being uncomfortable to- day, when we may die to- morrow? |
| 43983 | What''s to be done, Archie? |
| 43983 | What? |
| 43983 | What_ were_ you talking about?" |
| 43983 | Where d''ye think ye are?" |
| 43983 | Where is Anna? |
| 43983 | Where is the American playwright? |
| 43983 | Where on earth is Letitia?" |
| 43983 | Where''s the sense? |
| 43983 | Who are the authorities, in a case like this, Archie? |
| 43983 | Who are we that we should distress a nice old woman so poignantly? |
| 43983 | Who is that at the''phone?" |
| 43983 | Who shall minister to a mind be- cooked? |
| 43983 | Why are we obliged to swallow the dramatic food made for European stomachs? |
| 43983 | Why are you laughing, Aunt Julia? |
| 43983 | Why did ladies who would have clamored to black your shoes in their own country, insist that you should black theirs when they came to yours? |
| 43983 | Why did n''t ye say, when ye come down to Sixth Avenue, that there was diseases all around? |
| 43983 | Why did n''t ye tell me, Mrs. Fairfax? |
| 43983 | Why did peasants, from the purlieus of foreign countries, undergo a"sea change"the instant they landed? |
| 43983 | Why do n''t we foster him? |
| 43983 | Why is it that Letitia, perfectly willing to pay somebody to remove the rough edges from domestic existence, should be dubbed airy? |
| 43983 | Why not in that of dining? |
| 43983 | Why not?" |
| 43983 | Why was it? |
| 43983 | Why, even the_ pot au feu_ is delicious, and what could be cheaper? |
| 43983 | Why, however, should Madame de Lyrolle of the Faubourg St. Germain, cry"Hully Jee"? |
| 43983 | Why-- why-- did we have that horrid man up to dinner? |
| 43983 | Why? |
| 43983 | Will never come back? |
| 43983 | Will you repeat it? |
| 43983 | Wo n''t it be jolly? |
