2987 | Howells, did you write me day- before- day- before yesterday or did I dream it? |
2987 | I bent down over her and patted her cheek and said:"I do n''t seem to remember your name; what is it?" |
2987 | I noticed that Jean was listening anxiously, and when I finished she said:"Is that a true story?" |
2987 | I said,"How do you account for the changed attitude toward these things? |
2987 | I said,''Jean, is this you trying to let me know you have found the others?'' |
2987 | I suppose I ought to defend my character, but how can I defend it? |
2987 | I was ashamed again, and confessed it; then:"How old are you, dear?" |
2987 | I was naturally astonished, and immediately wrote: I did fall and skin my shin at five o''clock yesterday afternoon, but how did you find it out? |

2987 | MR. MARK TWAIN-- DEAR SIR,--Will you start now, without any unnecessary delay? |
2987 | Mark Twain''s own book on the subject--''Is Shakespeare Dead?'' |
2987 | Must he prove that he is sound in any way, mind or body? |
2987 | Must he prove that he knows anything-- is capable of anything-- whatever? |
2987 | Not much of it all is left to me, but I remember Howells saying,"Did it ever occur to you that the newspapers abolished hell? |
2987 | Now you all know all these things yourself, do n''t you? |

2987 | Shall you say the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? |
2987 | She? |
2987 | Take a man like Sir Oliver Lodge, and what secret of Nature can be hidden from him? |

2987 | The sensational head- lines in a morning paper,"Is Mark Twain a Plagiarist?" |
2987 | There was such a mingling of yells and calls and questions, such as,"Have you brought the jumping Frog with you?" |
2987 | They give us pain, they make our lives miserable, they murder us-- and where is the use of it all, where the wisdom? |
2987 | To Howells, on the same day, he wrote: Wo n''t you& Mrs. Howells& Mildred come& give us as many days as you can spare& examine John''s triumph? |
2987 | Toward the evening of the first day, when it grew dark outside, he asked:"How long have we been on this voyage?" |

2988 | Am I to go away and let them have peace and quiet for a year and a half, and then come back and only lecture them twice? |
2988 | America? |
2988 | And could we now? |
2988 | And do you think that you have added just the right smear of polish to the closing clause of the sentence? |
2988 | And ignorantly& unthinkingly? |

2988 | And will Mark Twain never write such another? |
2988 | Anything left of Hoffman? ” “ No, ” I said. |
2988 | Are the Blue and the Gray one to- day? |
2988 | Are the two things identical? |
2988 | Are there in Sir Walter''s novels passages done in good English--English which is neither slovenly nor involved? |
2988 | Are there passages which burn with real fire-- not punk, fox- fire, make- believe? |
2988 | Are there passages whose English is not poor& thin& commonplace, but is of a quality above that? |
2988 | Are you sure it was clams? |
2988 | Are you? ” I did not pursue the subject, and since then I have not traveled on my''nom de guerre''enough to hurt. |
2988 | Are you? ” That broke the ice. |
2988 | As concerns the man who has gone unpunished eleven million years, is it your belief that in life he did his duty by his microbes? |
2988 | At first he looked at the culprit thoughtfully, then he made some inquiries: “ Did you strike him first? ” Captain Klinefelter asked. |

2988 | But I have n''t lost my temper, and I''ve made Livy lie down most of the time; could anybody make her lie down all the time? |
2988 | But ca n''t I get it in anywhere? |
2988 | But in the mean time what do you do? |
2988 | But to cease teaching and go back to the beginning again, was it not pitiable-- that spectacle? |
2988 | But what if it produce that in spite of you? |
2988 | But what is the use of remembering all these bitter details? |
2988 | But what of that? |
2988 | But what were you doing on the inside? |

2988 | Clara, dear, after the luncheon-- I hate to put this on you-- but could you do two or three little shopping- errands for me? |
2988 | Clemens said: “ Trowbridge, are you still alive? |
2988 | Clemens said: “ What is it? ” Wilberforce impressively answered: “ It is the Holy Grail. ” Clemens naturally started with surprise. |
2988 | Clemens, I am not embarrassed, are you? ” So he remembered that first, long- ago meeting. |
2988 | Clemens, will you tell me where Mr. Charles Dudley Warner lives? ” This was the chance! |
2988 | Continuing he said: Do you know the prettiest fancy and the neatest that ever shot through Harte''s brain? |
2988 | Could she feel the wrinkles in my hand through her hair? |
2988 | Could you lend an admirer$ 1.50 to buy a hymn- book with? |

2988 | Did I know jean''s value? |
2988 | Did he know how to write English,& did n''t do it because he did n''t want to? |

2988 | Did you get that key to- day?'' |
2988 | Did you get wet? |
2988 | Did you have any bets on us? |
2988 | Did you want to saddle that disaster upon us for life? ” He was blowing off steam, and I knew it and encouraged it. |
2988 | Do n''t you care more about the wretchedness of others than anything that happens to you?'' |
2988 | Do n''t you feel well? ” Jean said that she had a little stomack- ache, and so thought she would lie down. |
2988 | Do n''t you hear me? |
2988 | Do n''t you know that I have expended money in this country but have made none myself? |
2988 | Do n''t you know that I have never held in my hands a gold or silver bar that belonged to me? |

2988 | Do n''t you know that undemonstrated human calculations wo n''t do to bet on? |
2988 | Do n''t you know they are calling for you? ” They remained in Keokuk a week, and Susy starts to tell something of their visit there. |
2988 | Do n''t you realize that you ought not to intrude your help in a delicate art like that with your limitations? |
2988 | Do serenity and peace brood over you after you have done such a thing? |
2988 | Do they even resemble each other? |
2988 | Do they live in---- ” “ In this street? |
2988 | Do you admire the race(& consequently yourself)? |
2988 | Do you hear? ” The slim, youthful person trembled a good deal, and said: “ I would, Mr. Clemens, I would indeed, sir, if I could. |
2988 | Do you know any one who does know him? ” “ Yes, I know his most intimate friend. ” “ Then he is the man for you to approach. |
2988 | Do you know that shock? |
2988 | Do you know that shock? |

2988 | Does he ever chain the reader''s interest& make him reluctant to lay the book down? |
2988 | Does he keep boarders? ” “ What an idea! |
2988 | Does he keep him in mind years and years and go on contriving miseries for him? |
2988 | Does he take an oath or make a promise of any sort?--or does n''t he leave himself entirely free? |
2988 | Does man regard the difference? |
2988 | Does one build a boarding- house for the sake of the boarding- house itself or for the sake of the boarders? |
2988 | Does this sound like shouting? |
2988 | Does your wife give you rats, like that, when you go a little one- sided? |
2988 | Dreaming of what? |
2988 | Familiar? |
2988 | For 6 days now my story in the Christmas Harper''s “ Was it Heaven? |
2988 | Further along he refers to one of his reforms: Smoke? |
2988 | Give him a good sound thrashing; do you hear? |
2988 | Goodness, who is there I have n''t known? |
2988 | Had we no moral duty to perform? |
2988 | Has he funny characters that are funny, and humorous passages that are humorous? |
2988 | Has he heroes& heroines who are not cads and cadesses? |
2988 | Has he heroes& heroines whom the reader admires-- admires and knows why? |
2988 | Has he paused& taken thought? |
2988 | Has he personages whose acts& talk correspond with their characters as described by him? |
2988 | Have I got to learn the shape of the river according to all these five hundred thousand different ways? |
2988 | Have n''t I told you so, over and over again? ” “ It''s awful cruel, mama! |
2988 | Have n''t you read anything at all about Joan of Arc? |
2988 | Have you a memorandum of the route we took, or the names of any of the stations we stopped at? |
2988 | Have you been secreted in the closet or lurking on the shed roof? |
2988 | Have you developed any novelties of conduct since you left Mr. Murray''s,& have they been of a character to move the concern of your friends? |
2988 | Have you ever been like that? |
2988 | Have you forgotten early twitterings of your own? |
2988 | He commended man to multiply& replenish- what? |
2988 | He did not suspect what had happened until he heard one of the daughters ask: “ Katie, is it true? |
2988 | He had never had a lesson, she said; if he could only have lessons what might he not accomplish? |
2988 | He probably referred to the Monday Evening Club essay, “ What Is Happiness? ”( February, 1883). |
2988 | He said to himself: “ Why did n''t I go now? |
2988 | He said, very gently: “ How beautiful it all is? |
2988 | He said: “''You thought you were playing a nice joke on me, did n''t you? |
2988 | He says: “ A billion, that is a million millions,[?? |
2988 | He says: “ A billion, that is a million millions,[?? |
2988 | He wished to receive the full value( who does not?) |
2988 | He wrote, asking Howells: Will the proposed treaty protect us( and effectually) against Canadian piracy? |
2988 | Helen Keller wrote: And you are seventy years old? |
2988 | Hereafter if you must write such things wo n''t you please be so kind as to label them? |
2988 | His friend asked: “ Who''s Mark Twain? ” “ God knows; I do n''t! ” The lecturer could not ride any more. |
2988 | How can you ask such a thing of me? |
2988 | How could he, with a fortune so plainly in view? |
2988 | How could that impress Adam? |
2988 | How could you do it? |
2988 | How did you ever think of it? ” It was a fearful ordeal for a boy like Jim Wolfe, but he stuck to his place in spite of what he must have suffered. |
2988 | How do I account for this change of view? |
2988 | How do you explain this? ” Clemens said: “ Oh, that is very simple to answer, your Excellency. |
2988 | How do you reckon I can remember such a mess as that? ” “ My boy, you''ve got to remember it. |
2988 | How do you reckon he accomplished that miracle? |
2988 | How do you run Plum Point? ” He met Bixby at New Orleans. |
2988 | How in the world did you ever come to locate there? ” Then they began to notice what they had not at first seen. |
2988 | How much money does the devil give you for arraigning Christianity and missionary causes? ” But there were more of the better sort. |
2988 | Howells in his letter said: She hallowed what she touched far beyond priests.... What are you going to do, you poor soul? |
2988 | Howells, did you write me day- before- day- before yesterday or did I dream it? |
2988 | I asked him if he was well, and he said,''What the hell do you want?'' |
2988 | I gave her a conundrum, thus: “ My dear madam, why ought your hand to retain its present grace and beauty always? |
2988 | I said to the Duke: “ Your Grace, they''re just about finger- milers! ” “ How do you mean, m''lord? ” “ This. |
2988 | I said, “ I did n''t belong to any. ” Then he asked me what order of knighthood I belonged to? |
2988 | I said, “ None. ” Then he asked me what the red ribbon in my buttonhole stood for? |
2988 | I said,''Jean, is this you trying to let me know you have found the others?'' |
2988 | I sha''n''t say a word against it, but she will find it a difficult& disheartening job,& meanwhile what is to become of that miraculous girl? |
2988 | I suppose I ought to defend my character, but how can I defend it? |
2988 | I want somebody to light my pipe. ” “ Why do n''t you get up and light it yourself? ” Brownell asked. |
2988 | I was greatly pleased and asked: “ Who gets the extra one? ” “ Widows and orphans. ” “ A good idea, too. |
2988 | I was naturally astonished, and immediately wrote: I did fall and skin my shin at five o''clock yesterday afternoon, but how did you find it out? |
2988 | I wonder if it is? |
2988 | If I had my new lecture completed I would n''t hesitate a moment, but really is n''t “ Cussed Be Canaan ” too old? |
2988 | If a life be offered up on the gallows to atone for the murder Ruloff did, will that suffice? |
2988 | If base music gives me wings, why should I want any other? |
2988 | If he ca n''t get renewals of his bric- a- brac in the next world what will he look like? |
2988 | If so is she extinct and can never attend a third? |
2988 | If they want letters from here-- who''ll run from morning till night collecting material cheaper? |
2988 | If we are going to be gay in spirit, why be clad in funeral garments? |
2988 | If we made this colonel a grand fellow, and gave him a wife to suit-- hey? |
2988 | If you can play that way left- handed what could you do right- handed?'' |
2988 | If you should be passing this way to- morrow will you look in and change hats? |
2988 | In a dictation following his return, Mark Twain said: Who began it? |
2988 | In later years Mark Twain once said: “ How much of the nursing did I do? |
2988 | In one of her letters she says: The house has been full of company, and I have been “ whirled around. ” How can a body help it? |
2988 | In the accompanying note he said: Say, Boss, do you want this to lighten up your old freight- train with? |
2988 | Interest? |
2988 | Introducing him, President Frank Lawrence said: “ What name is there in literature that can be likened to his? |
2988 | Is it a regular army? |
2988 | Is it an army of volunteers who have enlisted for the war, and may righteously be shot if they leave before the war is finished? |
2988 | Is it less humiliating to dance to the lash of one master than another? |
2988 | Is it one prayer? |
2988 | Is it possible for human wickedness to invent a doctrine more infernal and poisonous than this? |
2988 | Is n''t it curious? |
2988 | Is n''t it interesting? |
2988 | Is n''t that a brewery? ” “ It is, Mark. |
2988 | Is n''t that a brewery? ” “ It is, Mark. |
2988 | Is n''t that valuable? |
2988 | Is that it? ” “ Yes, that is correct. ” “ By George, it beats the band! ” He liked the expression, and set it down in his tablets. |
2988 | Is the Rebellion ended and forgotten? |
2988 | Is there imaginable a baser servitude than it imposes? |
2988 | Is there some way, honest or otherwise, by which you can get a copy of Mayo''s play, “ Pudd''nhead Wilson, ” for me? |
2988 | It has always seemed natural and right to me, and wise and most kindly and merciful. ” “ Who first thought of it like that, mama? |
2988 | It is n''t Holcomb, it''s Blackmer. ” I was ashamed again, and confessed it; then: “ How old are you, dear? ” “ Twelve; New- Year''s. |
2988 | It may have materialized out of the unseen-- who knows? |
2988 | It only costs the people$ 1 apiece, and if they ca n''t stand it what do they stay here for?... |
2988 | It only costs the public a dollar apiece, and if they ca n''t stand it what do they stay here for? |
2988 | It was not wrong? |
2988 | It was you. ” “ But do you realize, ma''am, how tired and hungry we are? |
2988 | Italy? |
2988 | Klinefelter turned to Sam: “ Did n''t you hear him? ” “ Yes, sir. ” Brown said: “ Shut your mouth! |
2988 | L. Am I not, to a man, as is a billion solar systems to a grain of sand? |
2988 | L. And the air? |

2988 | L. He commits depredations upon your blood? |
2988 | L. How many men are there? |
2988 | L. In ten days the aggregate reaches what? |
2988 | L. In that costume? |
2988 | L. Is it true the human race thinks the universe was created for its convenience? |
2988 | L. Now then, according to man''s own reasoning, what is man for? |
2988 | L. Then what? |
2988 | L. Then why punish him? |
2988 | L. To what intent are these uncountable microbes introduced into the human race? |
2988 | L. What am I to man? |
2988 | L. What is he for? |
2988 | L. What is the sea for? |
2988 | L. When was this? |
2988 | L. Who is it? |
2988 | L. Why? |
2988 | L. Why? |
2988 | L. You took a cab both ways? |
2988 | Land sakes, Livy, what can I do? ” “ Which way did he go, Youth? ” “ Why, I sent him to Charlie Warner''s. |
2988 | Land sakes, Livy, what can I do? ” “ Which way did he go, Youth? ” “ Why, I sent him to Charlie Warner''s. |
2988 | Later he wrote: “ Put''Is He Dead?'' |
2988 | Livy screamed, then said, “ Who is it? |
2988 | MR. MARK TWAIN-- DEAR SIR,--Will you start now, without any unnecessary delay? |
2988 | Maguire, why Will you thus skyugle? |
2988 | Mama said, “ Why do n''t you try''mind cure''? ” “ I am, ” Jean answered. |
2988 | Man kills the microbes when he can? |
2988 | Mark Twain''s own book on the subject--''Is Shakespeare Dead?'' |
2988 | May I send you the constitution& laws of the club? |
2988 | Must he prove that he is sound in any way, mind or body? |
2988 | Must he prove that he knows anything-- is capable of anything-- whatever? |
2988 | My friend said, “ I always admired it, even before I saw it in The Innocents Abroad. ” I naturally said, “ What do you mean? |
2988 | Next day he asked, “ Katie, did you see my pipe- cleaner? |
2988 | Not much of it all is left to me, but I remember Howells saying, “ Did it ever occur to you that the newspapers abolished hell? |
2988 | Now is n''t she the devil? |
2988 | Now then, with this common- sense light to aid your perceptions, what are the air, the land, and the ocean for? |
2988 | Now what is it? |
2988 | Now you all know all these things yourself, do n''t you? |
2988 | Now, do n''t you see what a world of confidence that must necessarily breed? |
2988 | Now, therefore, why should I withhold it? |
2988 | Now, therefore, why should I withhold it? |
2988 | Now, will that do you? ” Clemens said it would. |
2988 | Now, young men, if any of you were in command of such a fortress, how would you proceed?'' |
2988 | OR HELL? |
2988 | OR HELL? ” The Christmas number of Harper''s Magazine for 1902 contained the story, “ Was it Heaven? |
2988 | OR HELL? ” The Christmas number of Harper''s Magazine for 1902 contained the story, “ Was it Heaven? |
2988 | Of course. ” “ What for? ” “ Oh, to discipline us! |
2988 | Oh, Katie, is it true? ” He realized then that she was gone. |
2988 | On another: Have you seen any portion of the second volume? |
2988 | Once, half roused, he looked at me searchingly and asked: “ Is n''t there something I can resign and be out of all this? |
2988 | Once, writing to Jean, he asked: What is your favorite piece of music, dear? |
2988 | One day Clemens sand to him: “ Cable, why do you sit in here? |
2988 | One day she said: “ Mama, why is there so much pain and sorrow and suffering? |
2988 | One day, soon after, he said to me: “''Steve, do you know that I think that that bogus pipe smokes about as well as the good one? |
2988 | One paper celebrated him in verse: Who killed Croker? |
2988 | Or a gullet? |
2988 | Or at least why was n''t something creditable created in place of it?... |
2988 | Or is it a gull? |
2988 | Or is the report exaggerated, like that of your death? |
2988 | Ought we to allow this war to begin? |
2988 | Out of this grew the story, “ Was it Heaven? |
2988 | Presently, he asked me what order of nobility I belonged to? |
2988 | Put a trap like that into the midst of a tragical story? |
2988 | Redpath had besought him as usual, and even in midsummer had written: “ Will you? |
2988 | Reverence for what-- for whom? |
2988 | Rose Terry Cooke wrote: Horrid man, how did you know the way I behave in a thunderstorm? |
2988 | Sam said: “ What''s that, Steve? ” “ Why, ” I said, “ that''s Laud. |
2988 | Sam; ” he said, “ what do they mean by that? ” Clemens stepped to the wheel and brought the boat around. |
2988 | Says I,''Hold on there, Evangeline, what are you going to do with them?'' |
2988 | See? |
2988 | Shall I ever be cheerful again, happy again? |
2988 | Shall we ever laugh again? |
2988 | Shall we think this over, or drop it as being nonsense? |
2988 | Shall you also say that it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter and become a mouthing lunatic besides? |
2988 | Shall you say the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? |
2988 | She ran breathlessly to her aunt: “ Can I have it? |
2988 | She said, “ Why, Jean, what''s the matter? |
2988 | She was determined to go out again, but---- L. How did you know she was out? |
2988 | Shrunk how? |
2988 | Since I wrote my Bible--[The “ Gospel, ” What is Man?] |
2988 | So he sat down and stayed there until an executioner came. ” I said, “ How do you account for the changed attitude toward these things? |
