32891It-- wasn''t Bill, was it?
32891Look,Larson said abruptly,"you do n''t believe that phantom buck business, do you?"
32891Lord,he groaned,"how much farther?"
32891Norm told you I saw the phantom once, did n''t he?

32891_ It is n''t Bill, out there on the road, dead?_He went swiftly to her and put one hand on her shoulder.

32891What''s the matter?
32891Who did they think he was?
51433About a year ago, gentlemen, there was an alien ship around here then, was n''t there? 51433 After Extrone said he''d hunt farn beasts, even if it meant going to the alien system?
51433But who are they?
51433But you''re afraid of me, too, in your own way, are n''t you?
51433But... if there should be more than one?
51433But_ you_ were n''t afraid of them, were you?
51433Could n''t we? 51433 Eh?
51433Eh?
51433Eh?
51433Eh?
51433Have n''t I told you gentlemen that rockets frighten the game?
51433Have you read that manual I gave you?
51433Hear it? 51433 Hear the lower pitch, the more of a roar?"
51433How did it get there, gentlemen? 51433 How do you know?"
51433How it is to wait, knowing in just a minute something is going to come out of the forest, and you''re going to kill it?
51433How many has he already killed? 51433 If that''s the case, why do we bother tracking them?
51433It''s''sir''whenever you contradict me?
51433Killing?
51433No?
51433Oh?
51433Oh?
51433Remember our guide? 51433 Sir?"
51433So?
51433So?
51433The farn beast hunter, eh?
51433The military from Xnile?
51433The one with his back to me?
51433The ones who discovered the farn beasts in the first place?
51433They have very long, sharp fangs, and, when enraged, are capable of tearing a man--"An alien?
51433Two?
51433Well, sir, they''re... uh...."Pretty frightening?
51433What are you going to do?
51433What in hell do you want?
51433What''ll we tell him?
51433What''s he want to see_ me_ for?
51433Wo n''t you come in?
51433Yes?
51433You think it''s their blast?
51433You understand?
51433You were with me on Meizque?
51433You were, I believe, the first ever to kill a farn beast?
51433After a moment he said,"You killed one, I believe, on_ your_ trip?"
51433And besides, why would he want to do that?
51433And last night-- last night, he--""He what?"
51433And you destroyed it, did n''t you?"
51433Do n''t you see?
51433Do n''t you think so?"
51433Eh?...
51433Extrone asked,"Is there a pass?"
51433Had n''t we ought to bring up the column?"
51433Have you noticed that I have two businessmen for guides?
51433How can we even guess?"
51433I think they_ helped_ him, do n''t you see?"
51433I would n''t...."Extrone said,"Which one is he?"
51433Not today, but what about tomorrow?
51433That cough?
51433Then, to Lin,"You feel the excitement?
51433To keep our hunting territory a secret?"
51433Well, why in hell bother me?...
51433Well?"
51433What did the manual say about them?"
51433What else can we tell him?"
51433When the farn beast hears you scream-- you_ can_ scream, by the way?"
51433Why did n''t he hire somebody else?"
51433Why not make them come to us?"
51433Why was n''t it destroyed?"
51433You got them, did n''t you?"
38279And what did ye do, Bill?
38279Be ye drunk, or be ye sober, that ye stand there shoutin''in the cold with a log cabin within a dozen rods of ye?
38279Ca n''t I have just a little more to eat?
38279Do you think so?
38279How could I see to steer if I was sitting right back of you? 38279 I say, old Trapper,"he called from under the table,"did both guns go off?
38279Mother,said one of the girls, speaking out of the darkness,--"mother, is n''t this Christmas Eve?"
38279Swing around? 38279 What did ye do when ye got to the top?"
38279What is it, Wild Bill? 38279 A goodly table, a goodly fire, and a goodly company,--what more could the Angel of Christmas ask to see? 38279 And were those two strangers there men, or were they angels? 38279 But be ye sartin, Bill, that ye can fetch round that stump there as it orter be did, with nothin''but yer toe out behind? 38279 But ef ye be sober, why do ye stand there whoopin''like an Indian, when the ambushment is onkivered and the bushes be alive with the knaves? 38279 But the silence of our happiness, who can describe that? 38279 But where be yer mother?
38279But ye got her up finally by the same path, did n''t ye?"
38279Did Wild Bill recall his wayward past?
38279Did he, having come so tantalizingly near, retrace his steps?
38279Did n''t ye git a leetle''arnest in yer feelin''s, Bill, afore ye got to the top of the last ridge?"
38279Did the Trapper at that brief moment visit his absent friend?
38279Did the buck turn?
38279Had Heaven heard her prayer?
38279Had he scented her presence, and would he bound away?
38279How do ye feel, Bill, how do ye feel?"
38279I say, Bill, what p''int will ye steer fur?"
38279I say, had n''t you better get behind the wood- pile again?"
38279I wonder if he''s been waiting for me to get just where I am before he helped me?
38279Is it because we are so small, or, being small, are so inquisitive, that the Great Oracle of the blue remains so dumb when we cry?
38279Is it best, I wonder?
38279John Norton, are you ready?"
38279Should she fire now?
38279The buck would soon move; when he moved, which way would he move?
38279Was it memory?
38279Was it not white and clean and properly shaped, and would it not have been a tablecloth if it had n''t been a sheet?
38279Was it work or vain waiting for happier fortunes that made her look so tired?
38279Was she dreaming?
38279Was that the same fireplace in front of whose cold and cheerless recess she had crouched the night before?
38279Was this cabin the miserable hut she had left at daybreak?
38279Was what she saw real, or was it only a fevered vision born of her weakness?
38279Were the thoughts of the woman busy with sweet scenes of earlier days?
38279What angel was it that followed her to her miserable couch, and stirred kindly feelings in her bosom?
38279What bosom is without its little vanities?
38279What higher praise could be bestowed?
38279What if it should prove a failure?
38279What if it was n''t done through, and should turn out pasty?
38279What if she had made a miscalculation as to the amount of suet required,--a point upon which she had been somewhat confused?
38279What if the raisins were not sufficiently distributed?
38279What load have ye been draggin''through the woods?"
38279Who says the earth can not look as cold and forbidding as the human countenance?
38279Why do n''t ye come into the cabin, like a sensible man, ef ye be sober?
38279Would he go from or come toward her?
38279Would she get him, or would she lose him?
38279[ Illustration: The deer came to the big maple] Had the frosty air watered her eye?
38279exclaimed the Trapper,"what''s this?"
38279or were the half- frozen fingers unable to steady the cold barrel at the instant of its explosion?
38279thou tuneful bell that ringeth on forever, friend at our feasts, and friend, too, let us call thee, at our burial, what music can equal thine?
38279was it a tear of joy and gratitude that dimmed the clearness of its sight?
38279what is it?"
38279what shall I do?
38279what will the poor woman say when she and her leetle uns git these warm garments on?
38279ye do n''t mean to steer this sled with one toe, do ye, and that, too, the length of a rifle- barrel astarn?
32026Are you sure? 32026 Big?
32026Can we make it before nightfall?
32026Child, maybe?
32026Cytha?
32026Do n''t know? 32026 Do you always den up in luxury like this?"
32026How are you making out?
32026How come you are afraid of them?
32026Huh?
32026It was the_ vua_, was n''t it? 32026 Mister,"asked the Cytha,"what do we do now?"
32026Mister?
32026No one''s ever bagged one?
32026Now what?
32026Sipar, what do you actually know about the Cytha?
32026We?
32026What about the trail?
32026What for?
32026What would child do way out here?
32026What''s going on?
32026Whose death were you talking of?
32026Whose death?
32026Why did you hunt me?
32026Yes, mister?
32026You figure you''ll be gone that long?
32026You know who I am?
32026You know why we grow the_ vua_, do n''t you? 32026 You recognize this?"
32026You will not hunt me now?
32026Your knife, mister?
32026***** Food- giver, eh?
32026A hive- beast?
32026A host animal?
32026A sort of crisis- beast, perhaps?
32026A thing masquerading in many different forms?
32026After all, what could one expect?
32026All right, it might be strange, but if it worked, what difference did it make?
32026And if it did that the second day, why had it not tried to throw them off the first?
32026And if there were no babies, where did the eight- and nine- year- olds come from?
32026And what about the third day-- tomorrow?
32026And what could the Cytha be?
32026But for how long?
32026But loyal to what, Duncan wondered, to him, the outlander and intruder?
32026But might not the Cytha''s power of adaptation be running down?
32026But then what was the use of searching for any reason in it?
32026Could it be that you, likewise, are taboo to the donovan?"
32026Do you not agree with me?"
32026Do you recognize it?"
32026Forgetful of the Cytha- mother?
32026Forgetful of the motley brood in which they had spent their childhood?
32026Had it anything to try?
32026Had the Cytha gone about as far as it could force itself to go?
32026If he could keep it talking, perhaps even lure it out--"Why should I?"
32026Is that fair enough?"
32026Is there a common meeting ground?
32026Little?
32026Loyal to itself?
32026Might not human ethics, in certain cases, seem as weird and illogical, as infamous and ungrateful, to an alien?
32026One able to develop intelligence and abilities to meet each new situation and then lapsing back to the level of non- intelligent contentment?
32026Or are we, despite our humanoid forms, condemned forever to be alien and apart?
32026Or perhaps, although that seemed impossible, faithful to the Cytha?
32026Or was his imagination playing tricks on him?
32026So the planet''s denizens were sexless because there was no need of sex-- what was wrong with that?
32026Some other tribe, perhaps?"
32026That was why you hunted me?"
32026Then what happens to you?"
32026Trap?
32026Unkillable because a native tracker would cheerfully kill itself to protect the Cytha?
32026Unkillable because it grew in intelligence to meet emergencies?
32026Unkillable because it had a sense of tactics, like rolling rocks at night upon its enemy?
32026Unkillable because, pressed, it could fashion a bow and arrow, however crude?
32026Unkillable?
32026What are its characteristics?"
32026What does Sipar think of me, he asked himself, and maybe more to the point, what do I think of Sipar?
32026What is a Cytha like?"
32026What next would the Cytha try?
32026Why do n''t you go back?
23129Are there not many kinds of marmots in America? 23129 But why did he not pick it up in the water?"
23129But why do they do so? 23129 Can we not assist you?"
23129Cousin Frank,said he, one evening as they floated along,"you wish very much to get a shot at the swans?"
23129Do they ever kill the ospreys?
23129Do you expect the dog to fetch him out?
23129Do you mean to make soup in your shoe, Luce?
23129How do you know there are sturgeon in the lake?
23129How do you mean to do it, brother?
23129How large a tree would it require?
23129How?
23129How?
23129I say, cook, what''s for dinner to- morrow?
23129Is it necessary the night should be a dark one?
23129Prairie- dogs, you mean?--the same we met with on the Southern prairies?
23129Roast or boiled-- which would you prefer?
23129Well, what is it, brother?
23129Well,inquired Lucien,"what pleases you, coz?"
23129What are these, captain?
23129What are they?
23129What difference?
23129What is it?
23129What is it?
23129What other sort?
23129What say you, brothers?
23129What shall we do?
23129Why, what''s to hinder us to hew a log, and make a dugout? 23129 You may ask, Why so many names?
23129You think there are cedar- trees on the hills we saw this morning?
23129You would rather not go back up the river?
23129_ Tripe de roche_?
23129All of them acknowledged this, but what else could they do?
23129Are they not, Cousin Luce?"
23129Are you still ready to undertake it?
23129Boy reader, do you share my joy?
23129Boy reader, you have heard of the Hudson''s Bay Company?
23129But the beasts gone to the bottom-- how can we get at him?"
23129But their provisions were at length entirely exhausted, and what was to be done?
23129But what could it avail him?
23129But what of that?
23129But whither go our Boy Hunters in their birch- bark canoe?
23129But whither go they now?
23129Come, boy reader, shall we accompany them?
23129Could she have drowned herself?
23129Do n''t you think so, Luce?"
23129Do you suppose that these birds do not_ think_?
23129Do you think that he was not aware of this advantage when he started in the race?
23129Does the prospect not deter you?
23129First,--would our hunters find any swans on the river?
23129Francois,"rejoined Basil,"it''s easy to say` make a boat;''how is that to be done, I pray?"
23129Had he seen any?
23129Had she dashed her head against a rock, or become entangled in weeds at the bottom of the river?
23129Had some great fish, the"gar pike,"or some such creature, got hold of and swallowed her?
23129Have the fish of the lakes no enemy?
23129He was within three feet of the muzzle of my rifle; but what of that when I could not get the gun to go off?
23129How could they free the rope?
23129How were they to reach that afoot?
23129I shall be satisfied with the table-- what care I for mahogany?
23129In the water were fish-- they doubted not that-- but how were they to catch them?
23129Is it a raft you mean, Cousin Norman?"
23129It has been asked: Why they do not capture the fish themselves?
23129It was fast at both ends, and how were they to release it from the rock they had left?
23129It''s a splendid skin-- why not get it too?"
23129Many had been seen on the preceding day, and why not then?
23129One of them could easily cross over again and untie it, but how was he to get back to the others?
23129Second,--if they should, would these birds allow themselves to be approached near enough to be shot at?
23129Should they kill him on the spot or go a little farther?
23129The owl would make but a spare breakfast, and after that where was the next meal to come from?
23129The suggestion was a good one, but where was the rope to come from?
23129The_ tripe de roche_ had to be boiled,--it could not be eaten else,--and where was the fire?
23129This Norman''s companions could easily credit, but where was the meat to come from?
23129Under these circumstances would he remain so long, unless something unpleasant had happened to him?
23129Were it not so, how could they exist in the midst of an Arctic summer, when the days are months in duration?
23129Were they all together when you shot them?"
23129What are they, Luce?"
23129What are they?"
23129What could they do with it?
23129What sort of wolves are they?"
23129What was to be done?
23129What, then, could they do?
23129When would he be relieved?
23129When would the fierce brute feel inclined to leave him?
23129Where, then, had she gone?
23129Whither go they?
23129Who is he?
23129Why then, I should ask-- why this complication?
23129Will you believe me, when I tell you that all this immense tract is a wilderness-- a howling wilderness, if you like a poetical name?
23129Would they be able to trace him from the camp?
23129Would you like to know something of the country whence come these furs?--of the animals whose backs have been stripped to obtain them?
23129You are ready?
23129You remember Marengo?
23129asked Francois, appealing to Basil and Lucien;"shall we have the sport?
23129continued he, pointing ahead;"you see yonder rocks?
23129cried Basil, flinging down the bag,"how are you off for supper?
23129cried Francois, starting up as if something had occurred to him;"what about the wolverene?
23129where was the wood to make one?
23499And why not?
23499Are you sure he came into the timber?
23499Do you track''i m thur, Mark?
23499Had I missed my aim? 23499 How do you tell that?"
23499Is he in it?
23499The snow all around me was dyed to a crimson; but what had become of my terrible antagonist? 23499 To swim to the shore?
23499Was there no way of approaching them? 23499 Whar''s the bar?"
23499What could I eat? 23499 What could it mean?
23499What is it, doctor?
23499What next? 23499 What was to be done?
23499Where, doctor? 23499 Where?
23499Why how could they be two,asked the guide in astonishment,"when it rained yesterday before sun- up?
23499You have killed one hundred and forty- five, then?
23499You may ask why I had n''t a fire? 23499 Your sure it''s no grizzly?"
23499` How? 23499 ` How?''
23499` I''m a- comin'',''he replied;`''Taint so easy to get through hyar-- that you, Redwood? 23499 ` What is it?
23499` What?'' 23499 ` Who the hell''s thar?''
23499But after getting through this shell, where should we find the inmates?
23499But how many other animals have these crude naturalists omitted to describe?
23499But how to cook it?
23499But how was I to get away from the spot?
23499But the question was, could I reach it before the bull?
23499But what caused the dust to rise?
23499But what was there in their presence to draw down the maledictions of the padre, which he continued to lavish upon them most unsparingly?
23499But where was the fifth of the bears?
23499But why should the''coon not` tree''upon it, as well as any other?
23499By heading for Independence we should at once get clear of the buffalo- range, and what other game was to be depended on?
23499Could I climb the tree?
23499Could they do so in the light?
23499Could we trust our fair companions with a secret?
23499Eh, Mark?"
23499Even could I have done so, might not the dog follow and seize me in the water?
23499Had he taken to one?
23499Had the cougar got away, or was he still within the thicket?
23499Hain''t I, Mark?
23499Hain''t I, Mark?"
23499How could Redwood tell that it was the hour of noon?
23499How is the muskrat to get under water there?
23499How then was he to prevent them from escaping by the hole, while we removed the covering or roof?
23499How to get him out?
23499How was the cougar to be started?
23499How was this number to be fed on the way?
23499How were we to capture one or all of them?
23499How?
23499I knew that his shanty sot on high ground, but how wur I to get thur?
23499I saw this with feelings akin to terror, for I knew that the snow would soon blind the trail; and how, then, was my friend to follow it, and find me?
23499I thought of the floating alligator, of its intestines-- what if I inflated them?
23499I was now safe from all immediate danger, but how was the affair to end?
23499I was on an islet, in a lake, only half a mile from its shores-- alone, it is true, and without a boat; but what of that?
23499Is it from this that he derives his trivial name?
23499Is it the quality of the blood or the thickness of the skin that guides to this preference?
23499It wur like a island; but what could hev brought a island thur?
23499Kin we do better than foller''em up?
23499Might not this also succeed with the canvas- backs?
23499S''pose we try''i m, massa?''
23499Should my shot miss, or even should it only wound him, how was I to escape?
23499Should we at once turn our faces to the settlement, how were we to subsist on the way?
23499Should we follow the road?
23499That was gone, and whence was their next morsel to come?
23499The animals must have passed since it rained; but why not immediately after, in the early morning?
23499The doctor, what of him?
23499The next moment was heard Redwood''s voice crying aloud--"Look out thur?
23499The provision saved from the wreck would not last us a week, and when that was consumed how were we to procure more?
23499The tracks were fresh-- the road a large one-- thousands of buffaloes must have passed over it; where were they now?
23499Thur made since the rain, yu''ll admit that?"
23499Upon what do they feed?
23499We would keep the` cimmaron''for to- morrow; next day, the man- root; and the next,--what next?
23499What chance of killing a deer, or any other creature, with these?
23499What course was to be adopted?
23499What do you want?''
23499What else could they be firing at?
23499What had set it dancing?
23499What the hell''s the matter?
23499What was next to be done?
23499What was to be done to prevent this?
23499What was to be done?
23499What was to be done?
23499What would it come to should I not be relieved?
23499Where do these immense flocks come from?
23499Where was A--?
23499Where?"
23499Who could tell a pigeon story?
23499Who had rescued me from his deadly embrace?
23499Who was to do it?
23499Who were the eight cavaliers that accompanied the waggon?
23499Why did the body of the alligator float?
23499Why was Ike''s rifle not heard if he saw the bear treed?
23499and if it does?''
23499cried Redwood, who was first up to the waggon,"whar did ye see''t?"
23499d''you say?"
23499ejaculated Ike,"whur kid the varmint a gone?"
23499in what manner, mio padre?''
23499starve?
23499what are ye hollowin''about?''
23499what is it?''
23499what is to be done?''
23499where?"
23499you will exclaim,"a wild boar in the forests of Missouri?
37803And I wonder if they''ll still be there when we get within range, if we ever manage it?
37803And do you think it could be a grizzly?
37803And now, do we pick out our trees, and squat in them waiting, for him to show up?
37803And only a week back, you say, Tom?
37803And so that scared''em off enough for you to get inside, where your gun was, did it?
37803And the traps he said he had catched up here, do you reckon, now, they''ll be in decent condition, or rusted all to pieces?
37803And what were you thinking of doing, then?
37803And what''s in the wind then?
37803And why did n''t you tell me about it, so I could look up too?
37803Are you trying to throw a scare into me, Tom?
37803Begins to seem like somebody lived here, eh?
37803But I heard you shoot; did you get any fresh meat? 37803 But how about those horns?"
37803But it''s smaller in the bargain,complained Tom;"do n''t you think you''d better let me have that one?"
37803But we''ve got enough meat for awhile, have n''t we?
37803But what are you going to do?
37803But where d''ye suppose the beggar dropped to, and will we ever be able to get to him? 37803 But why?
37803But you have n''t said a word to me about it; how long have you known?
37803Did n''t you say he wanted you to try and lug the traps back, when we started for home again?
37803Do n''t fancy the tune, perhaps?
37803Do n''t mean to take any chances, eh?
37803Do you expect to go up there, then, and have a look in?
37803Do you mean, why did I fire those three shots?
37803Do you think we can get down to where my fine old granddaddy buck fell?
37803Give up the idea of that little hunt for today, Felix?
37803Go on, and tell me about it; what did you see, the marks of his claws; or had he thrown a lot of bones out of his old den, to make room? 37803 Have you got our route all mapped out above here?"
37803How about that cache?
37803How d''ye make that out, Tom?
37803How does it suit you?
37803How far away do you live?
37803How''s that?
37803However do you expect we''re going to get up there?
37803I got him, did n''t I, Tom?
37803If he can stand that howl, he''s equal to anything,the latter remarked, as they finished;"see any signs of our friend yet, Tom?"
37803Is that any better?
37803Look at him shake his head, would you, Felix? 37803 Looky here, Tom, do you mean a grizzly?"
37803Nice to have such a warm welcome, eh, when you get to your future snug home? 37803 Not taking time to bother with the hide tonight, then?"
37803Say, what d''ye mean ashootin''our dawgs thataways?
37803Seven all told, in sight, Tom?
37803Shall we try one more? 37803 Sing?"
37803Suits me fine; do you really mean it?
37803That means climb a tree, I take it, eh, Tom?
37803That would be sort of climbing up on our reverses, and making them pay a profit, would n''t it? 37803 That''s where he enters, is it?"
37803Then I suppose you just opened the little window, and gave the sassy beasts one, two, three, eh, Felix?
37803Then some party has been around here a short time ago? 37803 Then you''ve found out where he lives, when he''s at home?"
37803Think so?
37803Well, I do n''t suppose you could induce the grizzly to try that same thing; but if he did, you''d think it all right then to plug him, would you? 37803 What d''ye suppose we carried that rope along for if not to use it?
37803What did I tell you, Felix?
37803What for? 37803 What for?"
37803What was it, Felix?
37803What was that?
37803Whatever do you suppose killed this deer?
37803Why, what did you think it could be?
37803You mean about his being home, or away I reckon?
37803You said that Old Sol had n''t been up here for several seasons now, did n''t you, Tom?
37803All ready, are you, Felix?"
37803And what would Tom want to camp here for in front of the place?
37803Any idea what sort of a man the hunter was?"
37803Are cowboys braver than old hunters, that they take such chances?"
37803Be careful, wo n''t you?"
37803Besides, would he not have been torn to pieces by the fierce animals, only for his ability to handle that faithful rifle?
37803Bet you his eyes are that full of smoke he ca n''t see as well as he might, and he''s rubbin''''em with his paws, would you believe it?
37803But do you see anything that looks like that blessed old dugout?"
37803Ca n''t you think of something else that has been on your mind more or less for a long time back?"
37803Come on, tell me what you did, Felix?"
37803D''ye mean to say they waylaid you there?
37803Do you think there might be another inside?
37803Excuse me for asking; but I''m that hungry for a bite of venison I''ll have to forget my manners, Tom?"
37803Get that, Felix?"
37803Have n''t found a wolf''s den, have you, with some cubs in it?
37803He''d have us in a lovely hole now, would n''t he?
37803How are we going to dislodge that cat, Tom?"
37803How could a paper interest wolves?
37803How does that agree with what you''re saying now?
37803How is it now?
37803However in the wide world did you keep them off till you grabbed up the gun?"
37803I get that, all right, Tom; is there where you saw his head sticking out?"
37803I''d hate to have any critter make way with it, after going to all the trouble I did, eh, Felix?"
37803I''d like to meet him, would n''t you, Tom?"
37803If only he could bring home a pail of delicious honey, what would Felix say?
37803It sure does n''t seem like time for our noon lunch?
37803Naturally they expected having a glorious time, as what boy, with a love for the woods and the chase, would not?
37803No matter what it is, we want that shack, do n''t we, Tom?"
37803Now, Old Claws, will you be good?"
37803Now, what are you going to tell me?
37803Now, what''ll we sing?"
37803Shall we give it up, Tom?"
37803So just skip out, please-- do you hear, you beggar?"
37803That would be fine news, would n''t it, now?"
37803That''s the ticket, Tom; smoke the old rascal out?"
37803Think you own the earth, do n''t you?
37803Tom nodded his head, and simply remarked:"What did I tell you?
37803Trees would n''t figure in it that time, eh?"
37803Want any help?"
37803Was that a groan he heard; or did some wild animal give vent to a sound?
37803What could he do to frighten the beast away?
37803What d''ye mean upsetting it that way?
37803What had we better do, Tom?"
37803What if a howling storm should swoop down upon them, while they were away from the cabin and up here in this elevated eyrie?
37803What would he not have been willing to pay for a little box of safety matches, that sell for a penny in town?
37803Which tree do you want, Felix?"
37803Which was it, Tom?"
37803Who cares for you?"
37803Why was it he had so poor a sense of direction, he could not say?
37803You shot something, did n''t you?"
37803but ai n''t he just a jim dandy, though?
37803echoed Felix,"do you think that''s all it was?
37803he exclaimed, pointing to one side;"what''s been going on, d''ye suppose?
37803how about the day after tomorrow?"
37803my, ai n''t he mad as hops, though?"
37803then you made the discovery while we were coming down the mountain; is that it, Tom?"
37803what did I tell you, old boy?"
37803would you hear that, now?"
46813And from whom?
46813And the_ ikon_?
46813And what of the wolves, your charitableness, and the cow that is eaten up together with her bones and skin?
46813Are you sure it was not a_ bielaya kooropatka_( willow grouse)?
46813Blind man, canst thou see us? 46813 But how can that be?"
46813But who_ are_ you? 46813 But, sirs,"I began,"what am I to do with myself, if I may not----""Take life?"
46813Deaf man, canst thou hear us? 46813 Do you understand the duties of a pastuch?"
46813Have you not made a mistake in the time?
46813How long, your worship?
46813I am dying, my children,she said--"are you all safe?"
46813Is anything the matter, brother?
46813It can not, surely, be time to get up yet?
46813Lame man, canst thou overtake us? 46813 My dears,"says she,"did you notice an island about here?
46813Self- abnegation?
46813Starost, brother,said the stranger, going straight to business,"why do you send your pastuch with milk to sell in our district?
46813Take care of ourselves, mother?
46813Then how are we going to get at them in the open?
46813Was your_ vyedma_, then, in the likeness of a pastuch?
46813Well, little mother,said one,"what are you asking for curses this afternoon?
46813Well, where''s the dog?
46813What do you know-- what can you do?
46813What do you mean?
46813What do you want?
46813What dog?
46813What is it, Ivan? 46813 What was this pastuch like?"
46813Where are Katia and Mishka?
46813Where did you buy him, brother?
46813Who knows?
46813Why do you hate them?
46813Worse than what?
46813A big crawfish?
46813Already I can catch a pale, sickly gleam of light, where the Waters look up to the grey sky and cry,"How long, Sun, how long the gloom and the cold?"
46813And a great fear fell upon the man, so that he could scarcely frame words to ask:"Who are you that address me?"
46813And the ducks?
46813Are they freer than I am?
46813Besides, I could not detect the sound of eating: what then could he be about?
46813Besides, the pastuch had declared he would not go out again, and who was to take his place?
46813But Vainka touched my shoulder:"The one with the gun,"he whispered,"is my master: what''s to be done?"
46813But how were we going to get within range of ducks in a puffing and smoking steam- launch?
46813But if the darkness is mysterious and wonderful, and full of subtle, hidden potentialities, what shall we say of the marvellous silence?
46813But if the train from St. Petersburg to Wiborg is slow, what shall be said of that from the latter place to Imatra?
46813But where are the geese?
46813But, shall I be believed?
46813Could I even spread bony arms before his eyes and play the common vulgar ghost upon him, to punish him withal?
46813Could the bull be the spirit of the departed Vasilice?
46813Could the human be asleep?
46813Did I mention that Vainka consumed his share of the two sheep which found their way to our larder?
46813Did I mention that we had taken a few strawberries at 10.30 P.M.?
46813Did not the Church teach that Elijah the prophet went up in a chariot to heaven?
46813Did we submit to be shuttlecocked over your ghastly parody of a road in order to be humbugged by you at the end of it?
46813Do they get more to eat and drink, and pay less for their victuals?
46813Do they then so hate the trouble of travelling?
46813Do you think the wolf- hunters of the_ lià © shuie_ do not know which is the pick of the herd?
46813Give me another hour of it, Ivan?
46813Had the Count so arranged matters in order to keep intruders from his sacred precincts?
46813Had the evil eye fallen upon a moujik or woman of the place?
46813Had the humans organised a chase after me?
46813Has the reader ever seen a Russian country road?
46813Have you no market of your own that you must needs spoil ours by overstocking it, and sending prices down for us?"
46813How dare I float with impunity out here, at night, above these millions of scaly beings, intent on their destruction and fearing nothing for myself?
46813How do I know that a company of elves are not disporting themselves within a yard or two of my tent-- as ignorant of my proximity as I am of theirs?
46813How should we set about to find one little herdsman?"
46813I exclaimed:"where in fortune''s name do_ you_ come from, and how did you escape?"
46813I wonder whether our canonised countryman who gave his name to it was ever here?
46813I wonder whether they use a different leg on alternate nights, or whether the same one is told off for night duty each time?
46813If not spectres, then where are they?
46813Is that the claw of a crawfish sticking on to it, or not?
46813Listen to the sentinel crane-- or is it the boots or the chambermaid of the community awakening the family?
46813Meanwhile, what was the child to him, body or soul, in comparison with his beloved Doonya?
46813Mother started up and rubbed her eyes:"What is it, you tiresome children?"
46813No one would send their cows out under the circumstances-- how could they?
46813No?
46813Now were these birds little white ghosts, or real flesh and blood and feathers?
46813Now what in the name of all that is wonderful did the creature mean by choosing such a place to pass the night in?
46813Pay me ten roubles from the funds and the ceremony shall be performed, and the plague, perhaps, shall be stayed-- who knows?"
46813Review my past?
46813See what a transformation scene the act of man works, in an instant, upon a lovely landscape?
46813Sleep?
46813Surely they are very close indeed?
46813Then this idea suddenly struck me: Why not climb a tree?
46813There was no sign of the humans; poor dead Katia had been taken away and little prisoner Mishka also; but where was mother?
46813They pursue one another, and quack and court, and bathe, and are perfectly and entirely happy and content, as who would not be in their place?
46813Was I expected to seat myself in the dish and pour the contents of the tumbler over me?
46813Was all this not enough to satisfy him?
46813Was this learned man a joker?
46813We had spent twelve hours upon this pleasant moor indeed; but who would be content with twelve?
46813Well, half an hour?
46813Were they Christian ceremonies that the_ rodityelui_ employed?"
46813Were they tame ducks?
46813What about the water- spirits-- the_ Vodyannui_ of Sclavonic folklore?
46813What are those tall posts yonder, outlining themselves against the paling sky?
46813What are you referring to?
46813What better or worthier thing could a human baby do than provide a dinner for one of the Ursidà ¦?
46813What bird ever matched the graceful poise of their heads?
46813What could I do?
46813What could it all mean?
46813What do I see?
46813What had become of the thousands of sportive giants of half- an- hour ago?
46813What has all this"civilisation,"so called, done for them?
46813What if the spirit- gun will not go off?
46813What is it?
46813What is this?
46813What matter if we catch anything or nothing?
46813What need of further evidence?
46813What shall I do to pass away the next hour or two?
46813What should we have caught had we been able to continue our fishing on that marvellous night?
46813What though Jemmie bounded into air-- bird- like-- and nested upon the top of my head, or I on his?
46813What though our shins were black and blue with the misplaced attentions of cartridge cases and gun stocks?
46813What though the dogs whined and grew absurdly angry with one another, showing signs of an imminent general engagement?
46813What youngster ever did?
46813What?
46813Where are the bull Vasilice and the cows Masha and Katia?"
46813Where are these coveys?
46813Where are those coveys, Hermann?
46813Where is it?
46813Where is the money you received for Vasilice and the two cows?"
46813Where was ever so soft a brown as this of theirs, or so pure a white?
46813Where were the fish?
46813Who can say what is the etiquette of the wild goose?
46813Who can tell?
46813Who makes that sound?
46813Why did they not stop here?
46813Why had the brute thus chosen out the_ znaharka_ for special and deliberate insult?
46813Why not make one bold stroke for reputation and fortune, and succeed or perish in the attempt?
46813Why was the invitation to breakfast not accepted?
46813Wolves are notoriously incapable of climbing( after all, what_ can_ a wolf do?).
46813Yet why, after all, should anything be said?
46813and are you baptized?
46813and what do you do down there in the cool waters?"
46813are they not going to alight and join the happy breakfast- party below there?
46813but who could ever give back to these feathered ruins the thing we have bereft them of?
46813but, do they talk ours?
46813cried Ivan Ivanich, starting to his feet;"not one of_ my_ cows, Radion Vasilitch?"
46813he said, laughing loudly and delightedly;"ca n''t you see it?"
46813it is not_ our_ notion of freedom!--do all these things render them the happier?
46813no guns and no rod?"
46813or,''Do you hear how the breeze sighs this evening among the reeds in the stream?''
46813shouted Radion,"are n''t you going to do what is necessary for the safety of the herd before I take them into the woods?"
46813why do you not fly when your mamma gives the lead?
46813you are not going to leave us?"
27911Abandon the pack- oxen?
27911And how much longer do you think the chase would have continued?
27911And how much longer would you have stayed, had we not found you?
27911And if you ca n''t converse with the man why did you not say so? 27911 And to- morrow, what shall we do then?"
27911Are you angry at what your master said to you? 27911 Are you sure that the two horses have passed along here?"
27911But are you sure that he can find us?
27911But can you be sure that he is following the spoor of Willem''s horse?
27911But dare they deprive us of life?
27911But did they gone nort same as we been a doin''?
27911But do you think he will go off without trying to assist us?
27911But how was it possible for you to learn that we were in trouble?
27911But supposing you had died first, how would it have been then?
27911But we have not come a thousand miles for the sake of keeping out of the way of those animals, have we?
27911But what is your other reason for going back to camp?
27911But what means that? 27911 But when did you see him last?"
27911But where is Arend?
27911But why did he not come to me, as he promised?
27911But, if they intend killing us, why do they not do so at once?
27911By whom?
27911Ca n''t you kill that elephant? 27911 Ca n''t you understand the language he speaks?"
27911Can they wish the animal to live, merely for the sake of witnessing its sufferings? 27911 Can we not save him from this cruel fate?"
27911Can_ you_ understand him, Congo?
27911Can_ you_ understand what the chief says?
27911Did you not see that there were three young ones in the drove?
27911Do you mean those you are now riding?
27911Do you remember the night you were under the baobab- tree, dodging the borele?
27911Do you suppose that our dear friend Hans has no feelings?
27911Do you think he has gone away from this place?
27911Do you think they really intend to kill us, Congo?
27911Do you think, Congo, we had better follow the spoor we made in coming here?
27911Hans,inquired Hendrik,"will you look after everything here, or will you come along with us?"
27911Has this brute been pursuing you for the last twelve hours?
27911Hendrik,exclaimed Willem, nearly frantic with despair;"what shall we do?
27911How could we have a better prospect of success? 27911 How did he escape the same fate?"
27911How do you know that we are going right, Cong?
27911How is that?
27911How long have you been here?
27911How long was dat ago?
27911How much longer must we stay here?
27911I wonder if that elephant is watching for us yet?
27911Is Van Ormon sure that they had n''t any communication with this Kaffir?
27911Is he alone?
27911Is this the game you have brought back?
27911Must this be, Hendrik?
27911Now, can you understand why Congo advised us to come here?
27911Now,whispered Hendrik,"shall we fire?"
27911O, that''s what you mean, is it?
27911Shall we have to stay here another night?
27911So you shall, mine poys, mit pleasure all around; put who told you I vas Mynheer Van Ormon?
27911Take what-- the elephant?
27911Then why were you pretending to interpret his language a few minutes ago?
27911True, you might catch a wild elephant; but what would you do with it? 27911 Very well,"answered the Kaffir, becoming more reconciled to his position;"what for you want see Baas Hendrik?
27911Well, what has that to do with our stopping for a talk?
27911Well, what is it, Swart?
27911Well, why do n''t you tell me what this means?
27911Were they grazing or going on?
27911What are they waiting for?
27911What can be the reason of that?
27911What did you stop for?
27911What do they intend doing with us?
27911What do you wish?
27911What does it mean, Arend?
27911What does this mean, Congo?
27911What does this mean?
27911What does this mean?
27911What does this treatment mean?
27911What has become of Arend?
27911What is all this about?
27911What shall we do, Willem?
27911What shall we do?
27911What shall we do?
27911What should we do, Hans?
27911What would it be?
27911Where are the Makololo?
27911Where are the cattle?
27911Where is Hendrik?
27911Where is Willem?
27911Where is he?
27911Where?
27911Where?
27911Which shall we try?
27911Who wants to be near such a black ole fool as you? 27911 Why are you here?
27911Why did n''t you keep on running?
27911Why did you leave the camp?
27911Why do n''t yer do datch?
27911Why do you say that?
27911Why do you think so, Cong?
27911Why do you think so?
27911Why for you no tell me afore?
27911Why should I follow them farther?
27911Why should I kill my horse for the sake of gazing a little longer on a creature I can not take?
27911Why should we go to their kraal?
27911Why?
27911Will you not tell me, you yellow demon?
27911Will you please tell us whence you have come?
27911Willem,he exclaimed,"must this be?
27911Yaas, baas Hendrik,answered Swartboy;"what you want to know first?"
27911Yaas, why do n''t yer go on to tell where der two cameels be, to der fools whom found um?
27911Yes; he must be killed in that way or some other, certainly,said James;"but which of us is to do it?
27911You see da pack- horse dare? 27911 And what did he want?
27911But dare these people put us to death?"
27911But how was it to become his?
27911But supposing we should learn that we are on the right course, what then, Willem?"
27911But where were the camp followers?
27911But which way should they go?
27911But why do n''t you take my place here, one of you?
27911But why were they not there?
27911Can any of you think of a plan?"
27911Could assistance be at hand?
27911Could his position be maintained for that time?
27911Could the Makololo have robbed them of their cattle?
27911Do n''t you think we''d better move little farther up the river?"
27911Had Congo and Swartboy proved traitors?
27911Had Swartboy returned to the camp?
27911Had he stayed behind in the hope of ascertaining the truth?
27911Had the Kaffir undertaken the task of tracking them upon his own responsibility, or with the knowledge and at the instigation of his masters?
27911Hash you seen anything of our horses?"
27911He had heard of such events happening to other stupid white men, and why not to them?
27911Hendrik, will you come with me?"
27911How came you and your friends here to know of our dilemma?"
27911How came you to tell us what he was saying a few minutes ago?"
27911How long do you think we should wait?"
27911If a robbery had been committed, why was this valuable property left untouched?
27911If his friendship worth more than mine?"
27911If not disabled by the bullet, why had she not gone off, taking her young one along with her?
27911If so, why had not Arend, on ascertaining what was wrong, hastened to the relief of his faithful servant?
27911In what have I offended you?"
27911Is he going to stay here for all of us to be killed?"
27911It sounded like Groot Willem''s gun, but how could the hunter be there?
27911It was time something should be done towards finding him; but what were they to do?
27911It will be they who will dictate terms; and what can we do?"
27911Shall we die here?
27911Should he allow himself to be carried over the cataract?
27911Tell me, am I dreaming?"
27911The giraffes might be shot down, but how were they to be taken alive?
27911The only answer vouchsafed was but a low, querulous whine, that seemed to say,"Why is this, master?
27911The questions"Where is Willem?"
27911The silence was at last broken by his calling out--"Congo, you ole fool, where are you?
27911The speed of the camelopard is not quite equal to that of a horse, and the hunters knew that the desired objects could be overtaken; but what then?
27911They had but a few hours more to wait until they might expect the return of the Kaffir; but would he surely come?
27911They must obtain possession of their property, but how?
27911We''ve just been in time; but what are we to do with the black brute, now that we''ve caught him?"
27911Were they to escape the enclosure of the_ hopo_?
27911What answer could they give?
27911What are we here for?
27911What can he do alone?
27911What could it be?
27911What could it mean?
27911What do you intend doing?"
27911What do you say to our going off?"
27911What do you say, Swartboy?"
27911What do you wish to know?"
27911What for do n''t you go home?"
27911What if Groot Willem and the others should have strayed, and not find their way back to the place for two or three days?
27911What if some accident should have occurred to Arend, and prevented his return to the camp?
27911What if they had met a tribe of the savage inhabitants of the country, and been killed or taken prisoners?
27911What is it?"
27911What is your reason for staying behind?"
27911What ish we to do with him?"
27911What shall I say?"
27911What shall we do with it?
27911What should he do?
27911What was best to be done?
27911What was driving them away?
27911What were the giraffes doing?"
27911What''s brought you, then?"
27911Where an''when they see''em?"
27911Where are our companions?"
27911Where is he?"
27911Where shall the trap be built?
27911Where should they seek?
27911Where were Swartboy and Congo?
27911Which of them would come first,--the storm or the beast of prey?
27911Which of those directions was the likeliest for water?
27911Which way shall we look for them?"
27911Why are you not with the others?"
27911Why could he not have lived a few days longer, as he had done for so many months, watchful, thoughtful,--on the alert?
27911Why did the cow keep to the same spot?
27911Why did they, the villagers, feel so much interested in their departure?
27911Why do you ask?"
27911Why had the property been left exposed by those placed in charge of it?
27911Why should I desert him when that poor Kaffir remains true?
27911Why should not a lion do the same?
27911Why should there be now?
27911Why the deuce do n''t they go off home?
27911Why, then, should he not cheer himself after such protracted exposure?
27911Will he not assist us?"
27911Will they not be afraid of the consequences of proceeding to extremities?"
27911Would it not be better to abandon the giraffe and endeavour to get back to his companions?
27911Would the hunter be allowed to retain possession of his prize?
27911exclaimed Groot Willem, jumping to his feet in rage,"Give them my horse and roer?
27911exclaimed Willem,"where are our giraffes?
27911he added, turning to the Bushman;"are you content?"
27911is it you?"
27911or, rather, what would it do with you?"
27911what news?"
27911what of him?"
38970A horse of another color, then; but it means game, all the same, Phil?
38970A moose most likely, eh, Phil?
38970According to the way you figure how long a distance would you think we''d have to cover before we got to the creek?
38970And do n''t I have any show at all?
38970And do we keep straight on as we''re going now, or make a little detour so as to come on the camp from the other side?
38970And no one lifted a hand to stay his departure, did they, François?
38970And perhaps now you learned what the row was about?
38970And so you were running off all this time, were you, François?
38970And we promised ourselves we would n''t shoot a cow moose even if we had to go without such big game, did n''t we, Phil?
38970And what if he does flicker away and out of sight before we can drop him, Phil; do we keep up the good work, or drop out?
38970And what is this queer looking can that has a label telling that it is self- heating; explain to me how can that be?
38970And whereabouts would you say the camp lay from here, then?
38970And you managed to escape without him discovering you?
38970And, Phil, do n''t you think I''ve got a right to call him_ my_ bear?
38970And, Phil?
38970Are all the tip- ups alike, Phil?
38970Are these real eggs, Phil, or the sawdust kind?
38970Are we going to sit here till it''s time to get breakfast?
38970Are we going to try and take him back to his mammy to- day, Phil?
38970Are you Mr. Bodman''s cook?
38970Are you the man they call the Terrible Baylay?
38970As for that,said Ethan, indifferently,"what should we worry about even if we had to stay out a night?
38970As how?
38970As sure as you live,declared the other;"and I guess you knew that from the way my tracks set, eh, Phil?"
38970Baylay?
38970Bringing home the bacon, are you, fellows?
38970But did n''t I_ lure_ him along with my trailing muscalonge?
38970But he does seem to have gotten a terrible bad reputation around these districts you''ll admit?
38970But he went away finally, I suppose?
38970But how about me?
38970But how can it be self- heating I''d like to know?
38970But how do you use them?
38970But is n''t it queer he has n''t come to, and asked us who we are, and where we''re taking him?
38970But my stars, why have n''t the parents of this fine little chap looked after it before now?
38970But that happened all of half an hour ago, did n''t it, François?
38970But that is n''t where we''ve just come from, Phil?
38970But then what do we care?
38970But we only see one of the guides in the camp?
38970But what else could it have been?
38970But whatever can he be doing hiding that way, and acting as if he was in mortal fear of his life? 38970 But why have n''t you gone back into the camp?"
38970But, Phil, was n''t that another shot we heard?
38970But, Phil, we do n''t mean to let them chase us away from here, do we?
38970By the way, I wonder what his name really is?
38970Can it be your fire- eater of a Baylay, then?
38970Can you blame the little shaver?
38970Can you tell if it was a bull?
38970Chances are you knew I''d figured wrong at the time, Phil?
38970Children you say, and up here in this wilderness?
38970Come on, let''s go, Phil?
38970Course you''ve thought to put your little medicine- case in your pocket, Phil?
38970Did n''t that logger say Baylay owned several dogs, fellows?
38970Did you fire at the beast?
38970Did you go all the way over?
38970Did you know he was after the fish, and not you?
38970Did you manage to find out anything worth while, Phil?
38970Did you see that it was a bull?
38970Dog-- mad?
38970Figure; how''s that, Phil?
38970Ginger popguns; that''s so,cried X- Ray;"however did that stuff get there, I''d like to know?
38970Go on, Phil?
38970Going to cut some wood so as to get warm?
38970Gone and stole a march on me, hey? 38970 Got two beauty shots at her, did n''t you?"
38970Have you any idea yet whether it''s a bull or a cow?
38970He must be a smart tracker, Phil?
38970Here, what are you doing with your foot on_ my_ caribou, I''d like to know?
38970How about it?
38970How about that grub,_ chef_?
38970How about the beaver houses Mr. McNab told us we might find up that stream, unless some sportsmen or fur- gatherers have cleaned the colony out?
38970How about those moose yards I''ve read about?
38970How did it happen, Lub?
38970How do you know?
38970How is that?
38970How on earth did you ever come to call him by such a queer name, Ethan? 38970 I suppose you mean to count me out, as usual?"
38970I wonder how it comes this chap had n''t gone into winter quarters yet?
38970I wonder if we will see him here, sooner or later?
38970Is Kinney a little boy with yellow hair and blue eyes?
38970Is he here with ye, mister?
38970Is n''t it queer how we seem to rub up against something of this kind everywhere we go on our trips?
38970Is n''t this the greatest sort of sport though?
38970Just hear him growling like a bear with a sore head, will you, Phil? 38970 Just so, and since we''ve rested and feel in good trim again, suppose we make a start right away?"
38970Look ahead there, will you?
38970Looks peaceful enough, Phil, does n''t it?
38970Lucky we got our bully little shack all done before this started in, eh, boys?
38970Meaning Anson Baylay, the poacher, and all- round terror of the backwoods, eh, X- Ray?
38970Meaning that terror of a poacher, Baylay?
38970Must be all of half way there, Phil?
38970Now tell me what the dickens_ erbswurst_ can be?
38970Now,said Phil, when everything they had learned had been told,"what do you two think about it?
38970Oh, my, do you expect we''re as close to him as all that, Phil?
38970Please continue, because you have interested us very much,urged Phil;"what happened with the scalding water?"
38970Queer where the rest of the party are?
38970Ready, Ethan?
38970Show me how to cut one of those same crotches the first thing in the morning, will you, Phil?
38970So?
38970Sure I do,the other replied, without the slightest hesitation in his manner or speech;"what''s doing now, Phil?"
38970Tell us about it,urged Ethan;"and how did it come you let him eat up all your fish without giving the alarm?"
38970That is n''t a fact, is it, Phil?
38970That''s so, who did?
38970Then I take it from what you say there were none of these signs, eh, Phil?
38970Then it is a wolf, a genuine one, that howled, is it?
38970Then that''s how it came to be called a moose yard, I suppose?
38970Then the dog did go mad?
38970Then what follows?
38970There may have been another dog that got away, and the rest are hunting for him in the bush right now?
38970To- night we keep watch as we planned, eh, Phil?
38970We can chew at something as we keep right along, eh, Phil?
38970Well, can you blame me?
38970Well, did you ever hear the beat of that?
38970Well, what can we do about this outrage?
38970Well, you wo n''t be in a jiffy, when that cold wind strikes down your back,the other warned him;"how about the fire business, Phil?"
38970Were you figuring on going over that way, Phil?
38970What has been going on over here? 38970 What have you struck now?"
38970What in the dickens can it be?
38970What mair cud ye want than this braw place, laddies?
38970What was that, Phil?
38970What would have been your plan of campaign, Lub, in case we had not happened to be within hailing distance?
38970What would you haf me do, m''sieu?
38970What''s that you''re referring to?
38970What''s the program?
38970What''s this I see and smell?
38970What, at this season of the year?
38970What, me? 38970 What, me?"
38970Where d''ye suppose the others all are?
38970Who are you?
38970Who did he say this to, François?
38970Who''s running my heft, me or you, I want to know?
38970Why should any one want to kill you?
38970Why yes, he did,replied X- Ray, quickly;"but what makes you ask such a thing as that, Lub?"
38970Why, do n''t you see''em trailing down?
38970Why, do you think I might run up against a wolf pack, and have to climb a tree to save myself from their teeth?
38970Why, what''s got you, Lub?
38970X- Ray, do n''t you want to come out with me for a short time?
38970Yes, and I ought to be given the first watch, because I managed to get off so slick last night,asserted X- Ray;"promise me that, wo n''t you?"
38970Yes, go on, what happened then?
38970Yes, just like the baby in the bath leaning over and trying to reach a cake of well known soap, you''d''never be happy till you got it,''eh, Lub?
38970Yes, you''ve got it straight, Phil; but tell me, is this sort of thing incurable?
38970You have n''t given up the idea of visiting that beaver settlement, I hope, Phil?
38970You mean about this bear adventure, do n''t you?
38970You mean he could bribe a couple of his guides to come over here and do the burning racket; is that what you have in mind, Phil?
38970You mean it''s getting to be a regular thing with us; is that it, Phil?
38970You mean that while you''ve met people who were deaf and dumb you never saw one who was what they call tongue- tied; is that it, X- Ray?
38970You mean the owner of the scalded dog came to your camp, and demanded satisfaction?
38970You pulled the fish in finally of course?
38970You''ll try another half mile, you said, did n''t you?
38970You''re getting as many fish as we can well use, I reckon, Lub?
38970You''ve discovered something; what is it?
38970''Then suppose you deliberately walked up- stairs and repeated the identical performance, what would you call that?''
38970''Well, now what if you even went up again, and for the third time looked out of that same window, only to fall again; what would you call it?''
38970And François would n''t object, I should think?"
38970And after all what nobler end could any bear wish to come to than that?"
38970And if ze guides zey will not lift a hand to fight, what chance would poor François haf?
38970But I suppose, then, we can keep on the move, and take our chance of catching up with the cow, so as to let you get in a snap- shot of the same?"
38970But do you think any one was hurt by all that shooting?"
38970But if this was Baylay somehow he did n''t seem to mention anything about losing a child, that François heard?"
38970But what do you think, Phil?"
38970But what''s this I see?
38970CHAPTER VI A QUARREL OVER THE GAME"I''m getting to do first- rate at it, do n''t you think, Phil?"
38970CHAPTER XII LAYING PLANS"Is that the way you keep a promise, Phil?"
38970CHAPTER XIII THE MYSTERY OF THE PINE WOODS"What in the dickens can it all mean?"
38970Did you happen to get him on Friday?
38970Did you happen to notice any horns on the beast?"
38970Did you hear his name mentioned?"
38970Do they call you Johnny at home?"
38970Does you mean to tell me ye seen him?"
38970François, would you mind leaning out, and looking at me for just a few seconds?"
38970Get that?"
38970Got breakfast started, and without calling on the head chef either?
38970Have you bothered getting the moose''s head, horns and all to camp?
38970He may be a rough man, but what more could you expect up here in this wilderness?
38970He was pretty hot about the collar, was n''t he, François; I mean, of course, that he acted furious?"
38970Hev ye seen my Kinney?"
38970How did that fire come to be started; and who put all that brush up against the back of our shack, I want to know?"
38970How''s that, X- Ray, Ethan?"
38970I wonder if he bit that ugly red- faced sportsman you told us about, Phil?
38970If there was one of those animals wandering around that region why not others?
38970In that case we may expect to see him within the next twenty- four hours, would n''t you think, Phil?"
38970In what way could he injure us?"
38970Look again, and tell me if any of us made those tracks coming and going?"
38970Look over there to the west; see that star just going down?
38970McNab?"
38970McNab?"
38970McNab?"
38970McNab?"
38970Mebbe you found him on an island; or fished him out after a shipwreck on the water?"
38970Might have left that hanging up till-- well, what''s this I see?
38970See him start to hold up his hands then, will you?
38970See how pointed his directions are?
38970Tell me, is Kinney tongue- tied, so that he ca n''t say a word?"
38970That means we''ll soon be starting forth on our snow- shoes, eh, Phil?"
38970Was the Terrible Badger the man we''ve been hearing so much about since coming up here-- Baylay?"
38970We heard all sorts of noises from our camp, as though there was murder being done; and so we''ve come across country to find out what it meant?"
38970Well, if you asked me now, I could n''t tell you which way we''d have to go to get there; but of course you know, Phil?
38970Went out hunting, eh, and got lost?
38970What are the chances for game this season; and do ye know o''anny ither parties in the bush?"
38970What d''ye think of it?"
38970What in the wide world can have been going on over here?"
38970What sort of a crowd are you taking up into the bush this time, Tammis?
38970What''s caught you?"
38970When shall we make a start, Phil?"
38970Where''s the ax?"
38970Who support zem eef I allow myself to be sacrificed to ze passion of zat madman?
38970Without it how gloomy and cheerless would his surroundings appear, and what physical discomfort must he endure?
38970after the two of us shot him?"
38970after we''ve done so much for his kid that has the impediment in his speech?
38970asked Ethan;"did you forget to put seasoning in the soup; or was there too much cayenne pepper in the stew?"
38970both that logger and Mr. McNab did say he was an awful case, did n''t they?
38970declared Phil, looking again at the small boy;"I wonder now if this could be one of his brood?
38970demanded Ethan;"we do n''t want to stay here, do we, hoping some one may come in search of the poor kid?"
38970exclaimed Ethan;"does that mean they can be moccasins made of tough hide, and not hunting- boots like ours?"
38970exclaimed Phil;"for do n''t you see the poor little chap is tongue- tied?"
38970grunted the stout red- faced sportsman, with one of his ugly frowns;"and I suppose then you''ll make out that I missed him entirely?"
38970is n''t there a law limiting the number of moose any one person can shoot in a year?"
38970is that so?
38970listen to all that row going over there, will you?"
38970listen to the philosopher talk, will you?"
38970now we are beginning to see a little light, François; when did this happen?"
38970see his green- yellow eyes, will you?"
38970then you expect that some one may come along looking for him, do you?"
38970what''s the hurry?"
38970you mean old Robinson Crusoe, do n''t you, Lub?"
38970you mean that terrible Baylay, do n''t you?"
38970you mean the one McNab called Cranberry Creek, and that has the beaver colony on it, somewhere like five miles from our lake; is that it, Phil?"
22012All ready? 22012 All ready?"
22012And for dessert, how about that canned plum pudding we brought along?
22012And how do you like to live at the North Pole?
22012And lug the carcass to camp yourself?
22012And what about Bill Glutts and Gabe Werner?
22012And what are we going to do after that?
22012And what did they say?
22012And you also helped in rounding up those other fellows who were trying to put through some deal with two men named Brown and Martell?
22012And, Andy, wo n''t you please run off and get Spouter Powell? 22012 Andy,"called back his twin suddenly,"were n''t you carrying that flashlight?"
22012Any eats?
22012Anybody notice the camel''s hump?
22012Are we going to upset?
22012Are you a Secret Service man?
22012Are you at home?
22012Are you fellows going up there without your suitcases and guns?
22012Are you going back there to find out?
22012Are you hurt, Fred?
22012Are you in any danger, Andy?
22012Are you quite sure you''re on the right road?
22012Are you sure you are on the right trail, Gif?
22012Asking about us?
22012Bundles of wire?
22012But is that hang- out of the foxes on the way to the old mansion you mentioned?
22012But what are those fellows going to do with any such line as that away up here?
22012But you''ll be down to our house directly after Christmas, wo n''t you?
22012Ca n''t we come in and get warm?
22012Ca n''t you see we''re out hunting?
22012Ca n''t you show us where we can get a chance at a deer, or something else that is worth while?
22012Can you blame us?
22012Did Werner and Glutts have anything to do with it?
22012Did he tell you what he did down at Cedar Lodge?
22012Did you fellows follow us into the theater?
22012Did you get that picture for me, Ruth?
22012Did you hear what Andy said-- that he thought Glutts had a lot of German blood in him?
22012Did you notice what they said about Tony Duval''s mother?
22012Do n''t you remember how we helped to round up those submarine rascals?
22012Do n''t you remember what Bill and Gabe said in the moving picture theater about going up to some camp to hunt? 22012 Do n''t you think it about time that we returned to that old Parkingham house?"
22012Do n''t you think you ought to take something for it, Andy? 22012 Do you intend to wait around here until those Germans come back?"
22012Do you know Mister Bauermann?
22012Do you know anything about the hunting in that direction?
22012Do you know in what direction the Lodge is from here?
22012Do you know what I think?
22012Do you know what it is?
22012Do you mean a radio station from which they could send wireless messages all the way to Germany?
22012Do you mean the hunting lodge that is owned by the Garrisons?
22012Do you mean to say, Gif, you do n''t know in what direction the Lodge is located?
22012Do you see how much higher the other side of the slope is?
22012Do you see what I''ve got in this little package?
22012Do you suppose the skating is any good?
22012Do you suppose we can get any more?
22012Do you think it''s as bad as all that?
22012Do you think we shall be snowed in?
22012Does he let Gabe have much spending money?
22012Excuse me, but are some of you the Rover boys?
22012Go back to that other road?
22012Going to bother about breakfast?
22012Has some one died and left you a fortune?
22012Have n''t any poetry in my soul?
22012Have we any right to do that?
22012Have you a hunting lodge around here?
22012Have you decided on what you intend to do during the coming holidays?
22012Have you fellows got enough for all hands to eat?
22012How are the team and the boxsled?
22012How are you? 22012 How can we make ourselves comfortable without anything to eat?"
22012How did you do it?
22012How did you make out with those wolves?
22012How did you young gentlemen get up here?
22012How do you get there?
22012How far is it to Henryville?
22012How far is that from here?
22012How is the hunting there? 22012 How is your bag marked?"
22012How is your cousin getting along?
22012How much further have we got to go?
22012How much further?
22012How was he dressed?
22012However did they get poor Codfish to come along with them?
22012I did n''t notice them here, did you?
22012I wonder if they saw us?
22012I wonder what they want here? 22012 I wonder where the Germans live?"
22012I wonder where they are going?
22012If I leave them will you fellows show me the way back to Timminsport?
22012If they''ve got so much queer stuff out here in the barn, how much more do you suppose they''ve got in the house?
22012If those snowdrops were really diamonds, Spouter, what do you thing they''d be worth a dozen?
22012Is he in? 22012 Is it the first road we shall come to from here?"
22012Is n''t he the gentleman who has been riding around here in his sleigh with two or three other men?
22012Is n''t it queer that we are running into so many Germans?
22012Is that a snowslide?
22012Is that why Werner left?
22012Is there a pretty good road?
22012Is-- is he dead?
22012It brings the war pretty close, does n''t it, Fred?
22012It was n''t a deer, was it?
22012It was n''t a moose, was it?
22012It''s a riddle, ai n''t it?
22012Jack, do you think the right side of the course is better than the left?
22012Jack, why did n''t you pitch into him, anyway?
22012Look out there, will you? 22012 Look who''s here, will you?"
22012Looks as if we were, does n''t it?
22012Makes a fellow think of how our dads are making out over there, does n''t it?
22012Never mind, you will let me have one of them anyhow, wo n''t you?
22012Nobody is seriously hurt, I hope?
22012Now that we are here, what do we care?
22012Now that we''ve discovered that was n''t the road, which way do you propose to go, Gif?
22012Now what do you make of that, Jack?
22012Now you''ve got it, what are you going to do with it?
22012Now, what you goin''to do with yourself? 22012 Of course, that hay was meant for the horses, but what do you suppose can be in those packing cases?"
22012Oh, Gif, ca n''t we do them just as soon as we get back?
22012Oh, Ruth, you do n''t want my picture, do you?
22012Oh, do you really think Glutts will win?
22012Perhaps you thought you were doing a wonderful thing spying around our house and our barn? 22012 Say, Codfish, take your feet off my stomach, will you?"
22012Say, Gif, what''s the matter with trying our hand at fishing through the ice?
22012Say, Spout, how about it?
22012Say, did any of you fellows get up during the night to get something to eat-- crackers or cheese, or anything like that?
22012Say, have you fellows got a place where we can sleep?
22012Say, let us in, wo n''t you?
22012Say, what''s the matter with opening one or two of the cases and seeing what''s in''em?
22012See any more game ahead?
22012See anything?
22012See him? 22012 See how the snow is dug up?"
22012See that stick of wood? 22012 See those peculiar trees over there?"
22012Shall I wake''em up?
22012Shall we go out and speak to him?
22012Spouter, if you are going to orate, why do n''t you stand on the table when you turn on the spigot?
22012Tell me, Codfish, were you at our Lodge the other day-- the day the whole place was rough- housed?
22012That would be a fine state of affairs, eh?
22012Then it''s all settled, and you''ll attend to the matter?
22012Then you do n''t side with Germany in this war?
22012Then you expect to see him?
22012Then you know them?
22012Then you like them?
22012There would n''t be any chance of our losing our way?
22012Thought you were mighty smart, eh?
22012Try something of what sort?
22012Trying to swallow too much at once?
22012Want any more help?
22012Was he a silver fox?
22012We have n''t anything but our own bags, have we?
22012We might get down in among the trees and be unable to turn around, and then what would we do?
22012Well, ca n''t you wait until we get to the house?
22012Well, were you sure of the trail before we came over here?
22012Well, what can you see?
22012Well, what do you want?
22012Well, what shall we do next?
22012Well, what''s the next move?
22012Well, you would n''t expect the moving picture actors to go right out in the middle of a battlefield and perform, would you?
22012Were Werner and Glutts alone?
22012What about Glutts and Werner?
22012What about washing those dishes?
22012What are you fellows doing in this neighborhood?
22012What are you going to do about Bill Glutts, Jack?
22012What are you going to do with the carcass?
22012What are you going to do with those banana skins, Andy?
22012What are you young fellows going to do at that place?
22012What brought you here this time of night?
22012What can he want of us?
22012What can that mean? 22012 What can they be doing out here this time of night?"
22012What can those fellows be doing in Timminsport?
22012What did we strike?
22012What did you do with the sleigh and the stuff?
22012What did you tell him about the old Parkingham house?
22012What do you fellows want?
22012What do you know about that?
22012What do you mean by that?
22012What do you suppose Werner and Glutts are going to do there?
22012What do you suppose it can be?
22012What do you think I am, anyhow-- an encyclopà ¦ dia? 22012 What do you think we ought to do, Jack?"
22012What do you want here?
22012What do you want, Werner?
22012What happened to the other sled?
22012What have you got ready?
22012What have you got?
22012What is it you want to know?
22012What is it you want?
22012What is it?
22012What is it?
22012What is the announcement?
22012What kind of wire?
22012What makes you ask that question, Gif?
22012What right had you fellows to come and upset Cedar Lodge, destroying some of our stores, and walking off with some of the others?
22012What right had you fellows to smash those snowballs down on us?
22012What sort of a day is it?
22012What sort of looking man was he?
22012What spot?
22012What will Bill Glutts have to say now?
22012What will you do?
22012What''s in the wind?
22012What''s that? 22012 What''s that?"
22012What''s that?
22012What''s that?
22012What''s the matter now?
22012What''s the matter?
22012What''s the prize?
22012What''s up now?
22012What''s wanted?
22012What''s wrong now?
22012What''s wrong?
22012When do you expect Mr. Bauermann back?
22012When will you be back?
22012Where are Glutts and Werner?
22012Where are you bound?
22012Where are you staying?
22012Where do you want to go?
22012Where in the world are we going to place them?
22012Where in the world do they intend to take us?
22012Where is he now? 22012 Where is the cat-- or whatever it is?"
22012Where is this Tony Duval''s place they mentioned?
22012Where was this?
22012Which shack do they live in?
22012Who are those men?
22012Who are you?
22012Who are you?
22012Who is it?
22012Who is there?
22012Who is your second letter from, Jack?
22012Who ist der? 22012 Who lives here?"
22012Who said we were trying to make trouble for you, Duval?
22012Who was he?
22012Why ca n''t we go out and do some hunting before the storm gets too bad?
22012Why do n''t you hurry up down so we can do some more hunting?
22012Why do you want to know that, Rover?
22012Why not go out on a hunt and come back later?
22012Why not hide down here in the hay?
22012Why not?
22012Will you go with us, Jed?
22012Will you see that he gets some?
22012Wo n''t we, Andy?
22012Wot''s the matter with stirrin''up a bear?
22012Would give a fellow the creeps, would n''t it?
22012Would n''t you like to shoot a bear that weighed about a thousand pounds?
22012Yes, but how about the dishes to be washed?
22012You are sure you are alone?
22012You do n''t suppose Jed Wallop will come here during our absence?
22012You do n''t want to let us freeze to death, do you?
22012Your suitcase?
22012And do you see who is with him?"
22012And now may I ask your names?"
22012And then he continued:"You belong around here?
22012Are you sure, Jack?"
22012But how am I to get my things that are up at their shack?"
22012But what are we going to do about it, Jack?"
22012But you got plenty o''provisions, ai n''t you?"
22012CHAPTER VII THE END OF THE TERM"What can Gabe Werner be doing around here?"
22012CHAPTER XXIV A CONVERSATION OF IMPORTANCE"Do you know anything about those Germans?"
22012CHAPTER XXIX WHAT HAPPENED AT THE LODGE"So you want to see a Secret Service man, eh?"
22012Ca n''t you see?
22012Can we get a deer or a moose?"
22012Cough mixture, or measles eradicator, or something like that?"
22012Did his folks approve of his leaving school?"
22012Did you see him?"
22012Give up some of these good eats to them?"
22012Have you had much success?"
22012How did you guess it?"
22012How is your uncle getting along?"
22012I can keep this one, ca n''t I?"
22012Is n''t it just like a picture on a New Year''s card?"
22012Plum pudding and all?"
22012Then they ended with the well- known Colby Hall cry:"Who are we?
22012Up already?"
22012Vat you vants?"
22012What do you mean by such conduct?
22012What do you propose to do?"
22012What do you think of them?"
22012What shall I bring in?"
22012What''s the matter?"
22012Who is it?"
22012Why ca n''t we place that against one of the windows and climb up on it?"
22012Why do n''t you make it a lion or an elephant or a polar bear while you are at it?"
22012Why not let me go with you?"
22012Why should he not do that?
22012Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author?
22012are you going to race or not?"
22012ca n''t you pull out of this?"
22012do n''t I get one of yours in return?"
22012do you suppose he might be a Government agent rounding up the slackers?"
22012do you suppose they put something in that cake?"
22012do you think they''ll break into the house and eat us up?"
22012is somebody following me?"
22012maybe you fellers would like me to stay here with you?"
22012what are you but a pack of silly schoolboys?"
22012what are you shooting at?"
22012what do I care for you or your father or your uncle?"
22012what do you know about that?"
22012what do you know about that?"
22012what do you know about that?"
22012what do you know about this?"
22012what do you know about this?"
22012what do you mean by attacking my cousin?"
22012what do you mean?"
22012what would you say if they were gone?"
22012what''s the matter?"
22012what''s this coming?"
22012what''s this?"
22996All here?
22996All of them?
22996And how do you like Colby Hall?
22996And is that the nearest place?
22996And what about Clearwater Hall?
22996And what about those goats?
22996And where are the goats?
22996And you liked Ruth''s father, too, did n''t you, before this quarrel took place?
22996And you liked Ruth''s mother, too, did n''t you?
22996And you really feel that you would like to be on good terms with him?
22996Anybody else?
22996Are n''t your feet wet?
22996Are you going to send the Stevensons a letter?
22996Are you hurt? 22996 Are you quite sure you do n''t want to mention any names, Rover?"
22996Are you sure they are in a safe place?
22996Are you sure you know the way to the island?
22996As many as that?
22996Baxter did not assist in bringing them into the Hall?
22996Beats a meal in the mess- room at the Hall all hollow, does n''t it?
22996But do n''t you think you ought to at least listen to what Ruth''s father has to say? 22996 But you were not alone, Rover?"
22996By the way, Mr. Stevenson,said Jack curiously,"do you know a Mr. Frederic Stevenson?"
22996By the way, do you think Spouter knows more about what Slugger and Nappy intend to do than he told?
22996Can you point out the general direction of his place?
22996Can you tell us at all how far we really are from some sort of shelter-- I mean the nearest shelter at hand?
22996Come here to do as you please while I''m away, eh?
22996Did anybody see you making off with the goats?
22996Did he say you could stay out as late as this?
22996Did he tell you that?
22996Did n''t you get a deed to the island?
22996Did n''t you say you lived on Snowshoe Island?
22996Did somebody flood your floor and then freeze it?
22996Did they undress the animals before they let them go?
22996Did those young rascals have it?
22996Did you buy the island as far back as that?
22996Did you ever ask a lawyer about this?
22996Did you get his number, Fatty?
22996Did you have any idea they might be up here?
22996Did you light any matches while you were upstairs in the gymnasium?
22996Did you receive an anonymous communication?
22996Do n''t you know it is an hour after that time now, Rover?
22996Do n''t you know those two men?
22996Do n''t you know you might have killed Barney Stevenson?
22996Do n''t you remember what he said about taking up his residence on the island after his wife died? 22996 Do n''t you say a word about this, do you understand?
22996Do n''t you think it''s a bad thing to warn them off with a gun?
22996Do n''t you think we ought to let Colonel Colby know about this?
22996Do n''t you think you ought to be punished for what you have done?
22996Do n''t you want to wait until after dinner?
22996Do you dare to threaten us?
22996Do you do any lumbering there?
22996Do you know these boys?
22996Do you know where the nearest house is located?
22996Do you mean the whole happening in Professor Lemm''s room?
22996Do you mean we could stay there all night?
22996Do you suppose this started from the heating plant?
22996Do you think Andy and Randy would like to go, too?
22996Do you think Asa Lemm and those others will be back to- day?
22996Do you think I could send him home to have him stuffed?
22996Do you think any of them will come back?
22996Do you think it will be enough?
22996Do you want to be killed, Andy?
22996Excuse me, but this is Miss Ruth Stevenson, I believe?
22996For instance, we might take the goats into the Hall and up to Professor Lemm''s room, eh?
22996Get his number? 22996 Going down to that brook where you saw the mink?"
22996Going to talk to him about Ruth and her folks?
22996Had any luck hunting?
22996Hark to that, will you?
22996Have you any idea how this fire started?
22996He''s real charitable and kind, is n''t he?
22996How about going to that other cabin at the south end of the island?
22996How about it-- is the coast clear?
22996How about it? 22996 How about it?"
22996How about the storm?
22996How about you? 22996 How dare you boys attack me?"
22996How dare you do it?
22996How did the accident happen, if I may ask?
22996How do I know how many bones I''ve got in my body? 22996 How do you know the holiday is going to be extra long?"
22996How do you know? 22996 How far have we got to go?"
22996How in the world is a fellow going to do an example in algebra with you singing about good times on the old plantation?
22996How long is it since you heard from Mr. Brown and Professor Lemm?
22996How many of you threw at me?
22996How much further to that shelter?
22996How soon do you suppose we can play this joke?
22996How-- er-- did you get here?
22996Hunting, eh?
22996I come over here and ask an ordinary question in history----"How do we know it''s an ordinary question in history?
22996I do n''t believe there are any bears on that island, are there?
22996I do n''t suppose we can be of any assistance down there?
22996I mean, some place where those rascals ca n''t get at them?
22996I suppose you will look after the girls?
22996I wonder if Barney Stevenson will be at the station to meet us?
22996I wonder if that is Slugger''s father with him?
22996I wonder if we ca n''t get up a sleighing party for Saturday afternoon and take out some of the girls from Clearwater Hall?
22996I wonder what that was?
22996If I tell you will you promise not to give me away?
22996Is he a farmer?
22996Is it about last night''s affair, Cod?
22996Is n''t the building on fire?
22996Is that a cave?
22996Is the building on fire?
22996Is the coast still clear?
22996Is there any chance of that wolf coming back?
22996It is n''t a fire, is it?
22996Jack, if they should come back to Colby Hall, wo n''t you be afraid that they will try to do something more to get you into trouble?
22996Just look at my left ear, will you?
22996Just look at that wall of snow, will you?
22996Let me have a hand in it, wo n''t you?
22996Look at that, will you? 22996 Look at those footprints further on, will you?
22996May I ask who you are?
22996Much hurt?
22996My box? 22996 Now that we''ve got possession of the goats, how do you fellows expect to work this stunt?"
22996Now what do you suppose that is?
22996Now you know what you promised?
22996Now, how did that come here? 22996 Oh, Jack, had n''t we better head for the shore?"
22996Oh, we''ll give them plenty of chances to make good if it is in them; wo n''t we?
22996Please, teacher, ca n''t we act like ladies?
22996Say, fellows, do you remember when we came up to the school, how we fell in with Asa Lemm?
22996Say, fellows, why wo n''t some of you let me get a word in edgeways?
22996Shall we eat the game to- day?
22996So here you are, eh?
22996So that''s their game, is it?
22996So this is Jack Rover, eh?
22996So we''ve got you, have we?
22996So you were all in it, eh?
22996Some hunters around here, or lumbermen?
22996Something on your mind, eh?
22996Suppose we call the liveryman up on the''phone and see what he has to say, and then call up the girls?
22996That''s bringing this matter pretty close to us, is n''t it?
22996The Rovers, eh? 22996 The question is, how can we do it without getting mixed up in it ourselves?"
22996Then it is zinc ore, is it?
22996Then you really like it, do you, boys?
22996Then, if you''ve got those deeds, why do they bother you?
22996There is certainly something coming to Slugger, Nappy and Codfish, is n''t there?
22996They are all out, are n''t they?
22996They were smoking?
22996To pull the bobsled?
22996Uncle Barney, are you sure you know the way?
22996Uncle Barney,he said, catching the old man by the shoulder,"you let me manage this for you, will you?"
22996Wa-- wa-- what does this mean?
22996Want any of us to go with you?
22996Want me to go back for it?
22996Want me to go with you?
22996Well, where do I come in?
22996Well, you would n''t expect any of us to grow shorter, would you?
22996Were you going in, too? 22996 Wha-- what does this mean?"
22996Wha-- what? 22996 What about your legs?
22996What am I going to do?
22996What are they?
22996What are you doing here? 22996 What are you doing here?"
22996What are you fellows going to do with yours?
22996What can we do to help him?
22996What did they do?
22996What did they say to you before I came?
22996What did you do with the bundle?
22996What do you bet it is n''t old Stevenson?
22996What do you fellows think we ought to do?
22996What do you know about that, boys?
22996What do you know about that?
22996What do you know about this? 22996 What do you mean, Jack?
22996What do you mean? 22996 What do you mean?"
22996What do you propose doing?
22996What do you suppose this means-- calling Jack and Walt down to the colonel''s office?
22996What do you think he''ll do?
22996What do you think we ought to do?
22996What do you think will be the easiest way of getting to the other end of the island?
22996What do you think, Mary?
22996What do you want?
22996What have you go up your sleeve, Andy?
22996What is it?
22996What is that man''s name, if I may ask?
22996What is that?
22996What is the meaning of this?
22996What is there about that cave that makes it so important?
22996What is this you are saying, Garrison?
22996What is this you just said about Brown and Martell?
22996What news?
22996What shall we sing?
22996What was that question? 22996 What were they smoking, Rover?"
22996What will you do with him?
22996What''s going on up here?
22996What''s that for?
22996What''s that? 22996 What''s the bell ringing for?"
22996What''s the matter with smashing it off with a rock?
22996What''s the matter with using one of our flashlights?
22996What''s the matter-- is somebody getting killed?
22996What''s the matter?
22996What''s this talk about taking O''Toole''s goats to Colby Hall?
22996What''s this? 22996 What''s this?
22996What''s wrong now?
22996What?
22996When do you expect him back?
22996Where are the goats now?
22996Where are you?
22996Where have you fellows been?
22996Where is Barney Stevenson?
22996Where is the fire?
22996Where''s my gun?
22996Who are the men who want to take the island away from you?
22996Who are the two, and what do you know?
22996Who gave you the right to come to this island?
22996Who is going to write the notes?
22996Who is there?
22996Who takes third place?
22996Who told you that?
22996Who was it? 22996 Who was with you in this escapade?"
22996Who were they?
22996Why ca n''t we do it?
22996Why ca n''t we leave our skates here until we come back?
22996Why ca n''t we take turns in carrying him, either on our backs or on a litter?
22996Why can not we take possession of these two cabins at once?
22996Why do n''t you ask Ruth about it some time?
22996Why do n''t you get your sister Martha to come to Clearwater Hall?
22996Why do n''t you return the goats to O''Toole while you are at it?
22996Why does he want to locate a cave on this island?
22996Why does n''t he want to hear from your father? 22996 Why does n''t your father send him a letter if he wo n''t listen to his talk?"
22996Why should those men be so anxious to obtain possession of an island like this? 22996 Why wo n''t you let me see those deeds?"
22996Why, what has happened?
22996Will you fellows come down again? 22996 Will you promise not to give me away?"
22996Will you?
22996Wo n''t you go out hunting with us?
22996Would you dare to shoot at them?
22996Would you have played such a trick as this upon any of the other professors?
22996Yes, and why not have your sister Mary come too?
22996You can walk on it, ca n''t you?
22996You got me clear of the fallen tree, did you?
22996You mean that cave your father once spoke about?
22996You say the Rovers did not wish to report the matter?
22996You think the ice is thick enough for any ordinary crowd?
22996You think you''re smart, do n''t you?
22996You two are quite sure that you were not smoking yourselves?
22996A wolf?"
22996Am I right?"
22996And then, as the professor undid the bundle, he continued:"Is that your clothing?"
22996Are you badly hurt?"
22996Are you going to stay at home during all of the holidays?"
22996But do you want to go to the Point or to Colby Hall?"
22996But what makes you ask that question?"
22996By the way, do n''t you remember Ruth?"
22996CHAPTER V UNCLE BARNEY STEVENSON"What is that?"
22996CHAPTER VI DEEP IN THE WOODS"What do you suppose was the reason that old lumberman did n''t want to hear Mr. Stevenson''s name mentioned?"
22996CHAPTER VII AN UNEXPECTED MEETING"Say, fellows, did you ever hear this song?"

22996CHAPTER XXX SETTLING ACCOUNTS-- CONCLUSION"How are you making out?"
22996Can the water pipes have burst and flooded the room?"
22996Can you move them at all?"
22996Can you use your left arm?"
22996Did you ever see such striking out in your life?"
22996Did you find my box?"
22996Do n''t you see them over there?
22996Do you care to say who was mixed up in this affair?"
22996Do you understand?"
22996Do you understand?"
22996Getting used to breaking your neck?"
22996Have you been asleep?"
22996How about it?"
22996How did it happen?"
22996How did they get here?"
22996I guess you know that?"
22996Is he a friend of yours?"
22996Jack, you time''em, will you?"
22996Left the Hall for good?"
22996Now, do you think those cadets ought to defend themselves by telling Colonel Colby all they know?
22996So you''ve got here at last, eh?"
22996What do you boys think of it?"
22996What do you mean, Rover?"
22996What do you think of it?"
22996What does this mean?
22996What more could a fellow want?"
22996What shall we do?"
22996What''s happened?"
22996Where have you been?"
22996Where is Colonel Colby?
22996Who are you, anyway?"
22996Who of you can tell me the names of the fifth, tenth, and fifteenth presidents of our country?"
22996Who was the first laundryman in Chicago?"
22996Who would want a stuffed wolf around anyhow?
22996Why ca n''t we strike off into the woods yonder and come in on the other side of Haven Point?"
22996Why did n''t you tell me this before?"
22996Why do n''t you sing about good times in the classroom when Asa Lemm is there?"
22996Will you tell me how many were mixed up in this affair?"
22996You do n''t mind, do you?"
22996You say there is ice on the floor of your room?"
22996are you going to let them take possession?"
22996are you here?"
22996do you dare to threaten me?"
22996do you really think Slugger and Nappy and that little Codfish set the gymnasium on fire?"
22996do you suppose old Lemon will really have them locked up?"
22996do you think he is hurt?"
22996do you think we''re going to stay out in this cold?"
22996has that boy gone crazy?"
22996if you are so sure that Mr. Stevenson is in the wrong, why do n''t you go to law about it?"
22996to me?"
22996what are you talking about?"
22996what do you mean by skating so quick?"
22996what do you mean by such proceedings?"
22996what shall we do?"
22996what''s that?"
22996what''s the matter with the Rover boys?"
22996what''s the meaning of this?"
22996what''s the use of your throwing cold water on this camp meeting?"
22996where are we going?"
22996who''s there?"
22996why did n''t we think of that?"
22996why do n''t you let up?"
22996will you let us go if my dad gives up his claim to the island?"
22996will you?"
22996you do n''t expect them to shoot bears, do you?"
22996you do n''t suppose he''s smitten with her?
22996you think you''ve got the best of us with those guns, do n''t you?"
38254A big one? 38254 A circle''s round, ai n''t it?
38254A detective?
38254A snake, this time of year? 38254 All ready?"
38254And Frank''s handkerchief?
38254And can you show us the way to our camp?
38254And did you lock the front door after you?
38254And if we do n''t find it-- which is very likely to be the case-- what then?
38254And let them accuse us?
38254And where did you see our mysterious friend?
38254Anyhow, is n''t it rather queer, Stumpy, to see mud turtles out this time of year?
38254Anyhow, they''re here,observed Ned,"and what are we going to do about it?"
38254Are n''t we going to have dinner first?
38254Are n''t you going hunting with us?
38254Are n''t you going to take a rifle?
38254Are n''t you, Stumpy? 38254 Are they poisonous?"
38254Are we full- fledged members now, Sandy?
38254Are ye ready for the last act, or are ye timid and do ye shrink back from the terrible danger that confronts ye? 38254 Are you all right?"
38254Are you coming?
38254Are you fast?
38254Are you lost, too?
38254Are you shocked, George?
38254Are you sure we''re lost?
38254Are you?
38254Aw, let up, ca n''t you?
38254Because they might ask what we were doing around the school at night, and we do n''t want to tell-- do we?
38254Because, it stands to reason, do n''t it?
38254Blasting?
38254Bring me back a bear skin; will you?
38254But do you know who he was?
38254But have you heard the good news?
38254But how do you account for him entering the school that night, before the bracelet was stolen?
38254But how long are we likely to be delayed here? 38254 But say, fellows,"he went on, in a few minutes,"do n''t you think it''s slacking up some?"
38254But what in the world does it mean? 38254 But what is the turtle doing here?
38254But what of the diamond bracelet? 38254 But what''s the matter with you, Fenn?
38254But where are we going to stay to- night?
38254But why did n''t you tell him about the man we saw?
38254By the way, how did you boys get in the school?
38254Ca n''t you spend a week with us?
38254Can I get in another shot?
38254Can you hold on a minute longer, George?
38254Can you make''em?
38254Chuck it away? 38254 Come on, show us?"
38254Did you notice what he had in the paper?
38254Did you see another bear, Bart?
38254Did you see me? 38254 Did you see that?"
38254Did you wake us up to tell us that?
38254Did you wish to see me?
38254Do stumps move?
38254Do they eat much?
38254Do you know who he was?
38254Do you like it?
38254Do you mean to say you expect to go shooting in this storm?
38254Do you really think it was the same man?
38254Do you really think so many of them around here means anything?
38254Do you want to give the whole thing away? 38254 Fast?
38254Flavoring? 38254 For the love of Mike, what have you here?"
38254Going alone?
38254Got scratched by a buck; eh?
38254Has n''t anything been learned of the missing bracelet yet?
38254Have they got him in the wagon? 38254 Hey?
38254Him a thief?
38254How are you coming on?
38254How could he be?
38254How did it happen?
38254How do you make it out that a circle will bring any one back safe?
38254How do you make that out?
38254How does meat pie strike you?
38254How would pancakes go?
38254How''d you find your way here?
38254How, Stumpy?
38254How?
38254However in the world did you get here?
38254Hurt?
38254I mean what''s it near?
38254I say fellows, what''s the matter with going on a little hunting expedition soon? 38254 I waved to a diamond- bracelet thief?"
38254I wonder if I can shoot straight enough to bag them?
38254I wonder if there''s any use in me going on like this?
38254I wonder what for?
38254I wonder what he wants there? 38254 Is anybody hurt?"
38254Is he badly hurt?
38254Is it safe to go in? 38254 Is n''t it funny so many of''em are out to- day?"
38254Is that man-- that mysterious man gone?
38254Is the water hot?
38254Is this a joke, or what? 38254 Is your gun in shape again, since you broke it?"
38254Is your rifle loaded? 38254 Is-- is anybody?"
38254Lost again, do you mean?
38254Making something good for grub?
38254May I also?
38254May I ask you to move, madam?
38254Me?
38254Mr. Kenton,he asked,"may I be excused for a moment?"
38254No; can you?
38254Now what shall we do; follow him?
38254Our camp?
38254Say, do you notice which way he''s heading?
38254Say, what did you do about your mud turtles, Fenn?
38254Say, where''d you get those?
38254Say, you fellows are on the job early, are n''t you?
38254Say,asked Fenn, suddenly,"did it ever strike you fellows that this fellow might be a detective?"
38254Shall we take our guns?
38254The Darewell Chums here?
38254The electrician has stepped out you say? 38254 The man-- the stranger-- who was in the school just before us?"
38254The mud turtle? 38254 Then is n''t any one hurt?"
38254Then why did he run?
38254Then why tell it?
38254Think you can find the way, Bart?
38254Too late? 38254 Until when?"
38254We did,admitted Bart,"but it was worth it all; eh, fellows?"
38254We wo n''t hurt''em, will we, fellows?
38254Well, Bart, what about camp?
38254Well, have you had enough, fellows?
38254Well, pick off the diamond bracelet; why do n''t you?
38254Well, we''re in here, what''s next on the program?
38254Well, what are we going to do about it?
38254Well, what difference does that make? 38254 Well, what do you think of that?"
38254Well, would n''t that get on your nerves?
38254Well, you do n''t want to sleep all day, do you?
38254Well?
38254Were you-- are you-- that is-- you are n''t dead; are you?
38254What about the initiation?
38254What are we going to do?
38254What are we going to do?
38254What are you going to do?
38254What are you going to do?
38254What are you making all that racket for, Ned?
38254What are you up to now?
38254What celebration?
38254What could a burglar steal in the school?
38254What did you do with the one you had, Bart?
38254What did you say you flavored those cakes with?
38254What do you know about it?
38254What do you mean?
38254What do you think it is?
38254What for, Keene?
38254What good news?
38254What happened?
38254What is it?
38254What is it?
38254What is that over there?
38254What room is that?
38254What shall I say?
38254What shall it be, sixteen straight?
38254What was he doing?
38254What was it?
38254What you up to now, Stumpy?
38254What''ll it be?
38254What''ll you boys do if you get snowed in?
38254What''s that for?
38254What''s that, a tree root?
38254What''s that?
38254What''s that?
38254What''s the fun in staying here?
38254What''s the matter now?
38254What''s the matter, conductor?
38254What''s the matter-- heavy?
38254What''s the matter; ca n''t you fellows sleep?
38254What''s the matter; is the step on this side broken?
38254What''s the matter; see a snake?
38254What''s the matter? 38254 What''s the matter?"
38254What''s the matter?
38254What''s the matter?
38254What''s the matter?
38254What''s the matter?
38254What''s the matter?
38254What''s the matter?
38254What''s the matter?
38254What''s the matter?
38254What''s the matter?
38254What''s to be done?
38254What''s wrong now?
38254What, again?
38254What? 38254 What?"
38254What?
38254What_ do_ you mean?
38254When shall we leave it in the tree?
38254Where are Ned and Frank?
38254Where are you?
38254Where did we put what?
38254Where is my chum?
38254Where''s your camp?
38254Where?
38254Which way are you going in?
38254Which way do you want to head?
38254Who is it, and is he badly hurt?
38254Who was it?
38254Who was it?
38254Who?
38254Who?
38254Why did you do that?
38254Why do n''t they answer? 38254 Why do n''t you fellows join our society?"
38254Why not make it a big hunting expedition while we''re at it?
38254Why not?
38254Why not?
38254Why not?
38254Why not?
38254Why this unseemly noise, Stumpy, my son?
38254Why, what''s the matter?
38254Why?
38254Why?
38254Will it be safe to leave our stuff in camp, unprotected?
38254Will we be any better off by morning?
38254Will you come, Ned?
38254Will you do it? 38254 Will you let her take it?"
38254Will you sell me your turtles?
38254William Perry?
38254William Perry?
38254Wilt withdraw?
38254Would we?
38254Yes, and did you notice who he was?
38254You did?
38254You do n''t mean to say Frank''s burning those cakes, do you?
38254You do n''t mean to tell us you''ve gone and walked in your sleep, and eaten that meat pie we were to have for breakfast; have you?
38254You fellows think you''re awful smart; do n''t you?
38254You had one, did n''t you, when you were out after the deer, and saw the man?
38254You would?
38254You-- you''re not going to have us arrested-- are you?
38254Your cousin?
38254Are you crazy?"
38254Are you fellows coming?"
38254Are you hurt?"
38254Are you sure it''s the same man?"
38254At last he asked faintly:"Is it-- is it all this-- this way?"
38254Been playing jokes on each other?"
38254Besides, did n''t he run when he found out his face had been seen?
38254But how about you?
38254But what about going camping, Bart?
38254But what are you doing here?"
38254But what difference did the time make?"
38254But what happened to the buck?"
38254But what''s the matter, Stumpy?"
38254CHAPTER VIII AN ODD LETTER"Suppose he is dead?"
38254Ca n''t I get this right?
38254Ca n''t you put some of the stuff on from the box Alice gave us?"
38254Ca n''t you shut off the current?
38254Ca n''t you turn off the current?"
38254Can you cut that wire?"
38254Can you do it?"
38254Can you shoot straight?"
38254Can you stay in camp with us for a while?"
38254Can you walk?"
38254Could he hit the buck and not injure his chum?
38254Did I come very close to you?"
38254Did he take the diamond bracelet?
38254Did n''t I have a good look at his face?"
38254Did you bring anything along to put on it?"
38254Did you see me?"
38254Did you shoot him?"
38254Did you want another contest?
38254Do n''t you know him, fellows?
38254Do n''t you remember?"
38254Do you know if William is home?"
38254Eh, Stumpy, my lad?"
38254Else why did he hurry away so quickly?
38254Had the"borrowing"of the specimens been discovered?
38254Has any one heard of any persons being hurt?"
38254Have n''t you given that up by this time?"
38254Have you got plenty of cartridges, young man?"
38254Have you nerve enough to stand it?"
38254Have you thought any more about it?"
38254He had on a light cap, and he stood at the foot of the pole, and----""Him?
38254He thought the power was to be left on?
38254He''ll be back in five minutes?
38254How about you?"
38254Hungry, are n''t you?"
38254Hurry up and get me out; will you, fellows?"
38254I wonder how warm the water is?"
38254I wonder if I can hear anything of him?"
38254I wonder if, by any possibility, he could be up here in these woods?"
38254I wonder where we are, anyhow?"
38254I wonder who he was?
38254If you are willing to sell your turtles will you write a note to that effect, and leave it in the dead sycamore tree on the edge of Oak Swamp?
38254Is it the same one you had, Stumpy?"
38254Long?"
38254Mud turtles, you say?
38254Now, why should n''t deer go there to get the salt?
38254Perhaps you''d like one too?"
38254Pretty, are n''t they?"
38254Say, what do you suppose that man was doing around the mud volcano?"
38254Shall I catch it for you?"
38254Should he fire?
38254So it was you fellows; eh?
38254There''s a man being killed-- what''s that?"
38254Was there more to the mystery?
38254What about the diamond bracelet?"
38254What are you going to do about it, Fenn?"
38254What do you mean?"
38254What flavoring?"
38254What happened?"
38254What was the result?
38254What''ll we do now?"
38254What''s he doing here?
38254What''s that on your plate?"
38254What''s that?"
38254What''s up?
38254What?
38254Where did you put it when you went to bed?"
38254Where did you put it, you lobsters?"
38254Where is Stumpy Masterson?"
38254Where''s the meat pie?"
38254Which particular one last gave you a lock of her hair?"
38254Which would Bart choose?
38254Who fastened it?"
38254Who is hurt?"
38254Who was shooting, anyhow?"
38254Who?"
38254Why are you so quiet?"
38254Why did n''t we bring some lunch?"
38254Why did n''t you stay there?"
38254Why do n''t they answer?"
38254Why do n''t you shut off the current?
38254Why do you ask?"
38254Why does he seem to be following us-- hanging around our camp?
38254Why?"
38254Will you go first?"
38254Will you kindly go and look?
38254William, just hand out the other pudding, will you?"
38254Would he never fire?
38254Would you be willing to part with them?
38254Would you like to meet him?"
38254Would you like to try your skill with me; on a little wager?"
38254You do n''t have to work Christmas, do you, William?"
38254asked Bart"Are you stocking up for fear of a blizzard, Frank?"
38254cried the stout lad,"but I was sure I heard a knock-- didn''t you?"
38254exclaimed Ned,"are n''t you done playing with that yet, Fenn?"
21359A gun, Dinny? 21359 A what sort o''baste?"
21359Ah, and it''s moighty funny, I''ve no doubt, Masther Dick, sor, but how would you fale yourself if one of the great crocodivils had got hold of ye?
21359Ah, be aisy; what are ye thrying to frecken a man for like that?
21359Ah, do ye take me for a baby, Masther Jack?
21359Ah, would you, ye black baste?

21359An d''ye expect me to get in a boat at a place like that, Masther Dick? 21359 An is it a pig I''d let break me bones?"
21359An''am I much hurt?
21359An''d''ye think it takes half- an- hour for one of me eyes to catch soight of a craythure like that, Masther Dick? 21359 An''did ye see the murthering baste?"
21359An''how''ll I be getting at him, sor?
21359An''is he following us up, Muster Gineral?
21359An''is it freckened of a bat I''d be, Masther Dick? 21359 An''is it go down there, sor?"
21359An''is it living ye call it-- aiting thim bucks and doe things, like a black, or a wild baste?
21359An''is it meself would belave you''d hurt your own man Dinny wid a shtick, Masther Jack? 21359 An''is it natives ye''d call the dirthy undersized little craytures?"
21359An''is it run fast, he asks?
21359An''is it what for?
21359An''it''s you, thin?
21359An''that''s a rhinoceros is it, sor? 21359 An''what would a river go tumbling off rocks for, Masther Dick?
21359An''ye did n''t bring another of the horses for me, sor?
21359And Chicory?
21359And did you mean to kill him, General?
21359And do you say there are lions?
21359And have you frightened him right away?
21359And how about you, father?
21359And is it afraid?
21359And so you''ve had an interview with the natives, have you, Dinny?
21359And the hippos, Jack?
21359And the oxen?
21359And would you both like to make that bag in one day, young gentlemen?
21359And you ran away, Dinny?
21359Are there any crocodiles here?
21359Are there many here, general?
21359Are there though, sor?
21359Are ye kilt, Pater, ma black bouchal?
21359Are you eager to meet with the lion, then?
21359Are you hurt, my boy?
21359Are you much hurt, Dick?
21359As big round as the mast of a man- of- war, and as long, eh?
21359At what distance would you fire, father?
21359Av ye plaze, sor--"Well, Dinny?
21359Back home?
21359Boss Dick go shoot bok?
21359Boss Dick shoot um? 21359 Boss Dick, Boss Jack take Zulu boys, now?"
21359Bring the what, sor?
21359But I say, father, is n''t he lovely? 21359 But could the crocodile come to life again, father?"
21359But how can you be so stupid, Dinny? 21359 But how?
21359But is it wise-- is it safe-- to attempt to cross to- night?
21359But is there no cure for it, father?
21359But shure ye would n''t have a man shtand there by himself, and all in the dark? 21359 But suppose I miss, father?"
21359But the rhinoceros--"The which, sor? 21359 But when did they go?"
21359But where are the buffaloes?
21359But where''s Dinny?
21359But why did n''t he seize you?
21359But why did you leave the game to the vultures? 21359 But will there be water there?"
21359But you''ll come too, father?
21359Call''em off, will ye?
21359Came in without his boots?
21359Can you shoot him?
21359Canter? 21359 Come, Dinny, are n''t you ready?"
21359Could he run fast, Dinny?
21359Danger?
21359Did it sound near?
21359Did n''t I borry the gun a''purpose for that same? 21359 Did n''t the bees sting?"
21359Did ye ever see such a baste?
21359Did you see any natives?
21359Did you though, Dinny?
21359Do I, father?
21359Do n''t you hear the dogs? 21359 Do you hear the hippopotamus?"
21359Do you hear what my father said, Dinny?
21359Do you remember what father said about the travellers''measurements?
21359Do you see? 21359 Does it pain you much?"
21359Feel afraid?
21359Get out? 21359 Going back?"
21359Had n''t we better go after the rhinoceros?
21359Had n''t we better land, and let them drag the canoes round?
21359Had we not better outspan here?
21359Has anybody ever been lost here?
21359Has the General come back?
21359Have n''t you seen them?
21359Have you seen it, General?
21359Helped it? 21359 How are we to get at these rhinoceroses?"
21359How big should you think that was, father?
21359How big was it, Dinny?
21359How came you here?
21359How did you find him out?
21359How do you know he said that?
21359How do you know, father?
21359How kim I here, Masther Dick? 21359 How long do you think that was, father?"
21359How much of it is exaggeration?
21359How?
21359I say, Dick, what''s to be done?
21359I say, Dick,whispered Jack,"black kings are not such bad fellows after all, are they?"
21359I say, Jack,said Dick, suddenly, just as they started,"there are crocodiles in these rivers, ai n''t there?"
21359I say, father, are we to pack this sweet- stuff in the waggon? 21359 I say, father, had n''t we better shoot something-- the stock''s getting low?"
21359I say, what are you going to do?
21359I''d better make him canter, had n''t I, Masther Dick, dear?
21359If I did, sor, the crockydiles would be aiting me, and thin what would you do?
21359Is anything the matter there?
21359Is anything wrong? 21359 Is it now?"
21359Is it the grass on fire?
21359Is it the puff- adder, father?
21359Is n''t game scarce?
21359Is n''t he very brave to do that, father?
21359Is there more than one lion?
21359Is thim legs rale, Masther Dick?
21359Is-- is he dead?
21359It was pretty loud was n''t it?
21359Lave go, will ye?
21359Let go, will ye?
21359Little gentlemen, Dinny?
21359Look, Dick; can you see? 21359 Look, do n''t you see?
21359Loud, Masther Jack? 21359 Much hurt, my boy?"
21359My brother; has he got back?
21359My dear boy, what''s the matter?
21359Not I. Shall I let him go?
21359Not a lion? 21359 Not one with thim murthering crocodivils in it, Masther Dick?"
21359Nothing to shute at? 21359 Now then, Dick, which is it to be?
21359Now then, Jack, how shall you go to work? 21359 Now will you make friends?"
21359Now, are you both loaded? 21359 Now, sir, you''re not to touch him; do you hear?"
21359Oh, I say, father, is n''t breakfast lovely out here under these green trees?
21359Oh, an''is it ate us, Masther Dick? 21359 Oh, it''s wan o''thim things, is it?"
21359Oh, masther dear, why did n''t ye say so before?
21359Oh, murther, an''what''ll become of us all? 21359 Oh, ye followed his spoor, did ye?"
21359One o''thim flannel ones wid blue sthripes?
21359Only all we could kill would be as nothing, would they, father?
21359Or is it all made by one lion?
21359Ought he to go, father?
21359Ready, boys?
21359Real? 21359 Ride, my boy?
21359Safe?
21359Shall we call father, and tell him there are lions about?
21359Shall we offer them our guns and ammunition if they will let us go?
21359Shall we separate?
21359Shall we throw down the meat and run away?
21359Shot? 21359 Should you mind if I chose first, Jack?"
21359Shure an''how will I get the breakfast riddy if I come, sor?
21359Shure an''what''s that got to do wid it? 21359 Shure and what''d I be freckened of?"
21359Shure and why not, yer hanner?
21359Shure, Masther Dick, dear, did you ever know me say anything that was n''t thrue? 21359 Shure, Masther Dick, we''re niver going on along there?"
21359Shure, an''arn''t we close to the river, where it''s mortial damp?
21359Shure, an''if he can roar like that, he''ll be worse than a lion, sor,said Dinny,"so had n''t ye betther shute at once?"
21359Shure, an''it''s you as is talking the nonsense now, Masther Dick; for how could ye see if ye''d got a catharact?
21359So this is the game country?
21359Sure an''what else would he say, Masther Dick, dear? 21359 The good?
21359The which, sor?
21359Then a good rider could n''t have helped it, father?
21359Then what caused the alarm?
21359Then who is it?
21359Then you are not jealous of his luck?
21359Then you do n''t think it is done out of love for man, father?
21359Then you have no bones broken, Dinny?
21359Then you really consider it necessary?
21359There,said Dinny triumphantly,"what did I tell you?
21359Threw you? 21359 To kill wild beasts, Dinny?"
21359Two boot? 21359 Very doubtful, Dinny; but are you much hurt?"
21359Very well, then; but where shall we go? 21359 Was that you speaking, my boy, or Dinny?"
21359Well, Dick,said Mr Rogers,"how do you feel?
21359Well, Dinny, and what of that?
21359Well, boys, what do you think of the medicine- chest now? 21359 Well, is n''t it the truth?
21359Well, my boy, would you like a try as well?
21359Well, what are you pointing at?
21359Well, what do you think of the rhinoceros?
21359Well, what is it?
21359What are they going to do?
21359What are we to do, General?
21359What are you going to do with the leopard?
21359What are you going to do?
21359What are you laughing at?
21359What can you see?
21359What complaint, Dinny?
21359What do I mane? 21359 What do you mean, Dinny?"
21359What do you say, Dick?
21359What do you say, General?
21359What do you think, Dick?
21359What for, Dinny?
21359What for, Dinny?
21359What for?
21359What have you shot, boys?
21359What is it ye''re doing?
21359What is it, Dinny?
21359What is it, father?
21359What is it?
21359What is the matter?
21359What shall we do then?
21359What shall we do?
21359What shall you call yours?
21359What sort?
21359What then, baboons?
21359What was it, Dinny?
21359What would be the use?
21359What would it be, father-- a leopard?
21359What''ll I do now?
21359What''ll I do, then?
21359What''s matter?
21359What''s that noise?
21359What''s that shining over there?
21359What''s that, Dick?
21359What''s that?
21359What''s the matter with the bullocks?
21359What''s to be done now then?
21359What, and walk acrost?
21359What, as you were going across, Dinny?
21359What, that little bid of a thing, sor?
21359What? 21359 When do you think he will try to attack us, General?"
21359Where are the boys?
21359Where are the boys?
21359Where are the lanterns?
21359Where are those two boys?
21359Where are we going, father?
21359Where are you going, Dinny?
21359Where is he shot?
21359Where is it?
21359Where''s Coffee?
21359Where''s father, I wonder?
21359Where''s father?
21359Where''s the bok, Chicory?
21359Where''s your giraffe?
21359Where? 21359 Where?"
21359Which did you see, Dinny, the bat or the shadow?
21359Who said so, Masther Jack?
21359Why did n''t you come over with us?
21359Why not?
21359Why of all the cowards I ever see--"I say, Dinny,said Dick,"I wonder whether the king''s afraid of lions?"
21359Why, Dick, where are the thorns?
21359Why, Dick?
21359Why, what are you doing there, Dinny?
21359Why, what have you been about, Dinny?
21359Why, what''s that, Dinny?
21359Why, where are the giraffes?
21359Why?
21359Will they be able to take us up there, king?
21359Without a saddle, father?
21359Would he have been as much afraid of the lions as you are, Dinny?
21359Would it bleed, father?
21359Yes, and the rhinoceros drove it out of our head,said Dick,"and--""Why, what''s the matter?"
21359Yes, father, we''ll be more careful; but how is it the dogs have not come back?
21359Yes, where are they?
21359You are sure we shall find water at sundown?
21359You''ve got an old pair, have n''t you, Dick?
21359` Will ye be off?'' 21359 Ah, Masther Dick, and have ye got back out of the black hole?
21359An''so we''re going to pack up and go home to- morrow, ai n''t we?"
21359And avore we''d been out here two years did n''t the dear misthress-- the saints make her bed in heaven-- go and die right away?"
21359And the boys were about to start, when Dick added,"Shall I bring over the General, father?"
21359And what do you want with a gun?"
21359And why do n''t ye shoot?"
21359Are we safe across the wather yet?"
21359Are ye going to lave me?"
21359Are you ashore?"
21359Arrah, sor, d''ye think that great pig baste wid a horn on his nose will ever bring me clane shirt back?"
21359Boss Dick shoot noder lion?"
21359But are you hurt anywhere?"
21359But how about the crocodiles?"
21359But what will you call the other?"
21359But, Masther Dick, asthore, d''ye think the big baste will come back and thread on me fire again?"
21359Come, did it hurt you when it charged you?"
21359Could a boat get there?"
21359D''ye understand that?"
21359D''ye undherstand now?"
21359Did he throw me?"
21359Did n''t I say avore we left the owld counthry that no good would come of it?
21359Did they ate the black boys?"
21359Did you both kill yours?"
21359Did you ever see such a comical beast?"
21359Do n''t you know how it was?"
21359Do n''t you know what that thick, short serpent is?"
21359Do n''t you see?"
21359Do n''t you see?"
21359Do you hear?"
21359Do you know how long you''ve been asleep?"
21359Do you?"
21359Gallop?"
21359Had n''t I better go and take the gun away from that naygur as keeps letting it off, sor?
21359How did you manage it, Chicory?"
21359How many cartridges have you got?"
21359How many have you?"
21359How''ll I get over at all?"
21359I say, King Moseti, could n''t one of those fellows upset the boat?"
21359I say, Masther Dick, dear, whin are we going back?"
21359I suppose he sits indoors a good deal and mopes?"
21359I wonder what it is?"
21359Is anything wrong?"
21359Is n''t he a beauty?"
21359It is n''t that I mind, but we shall be coming upon some great big water- baste or a wather- shnake or something, and then what''ll we do at all?"
21359More sugar, father?"
21359Now where had I better shute him-- in the mouth or the eye?"
21359Now where was it?"
21359Now you two, one of you is to be Cough and the other Chick; do you hear?"
21359Ready for the fray?"
21359Ready?"
21359See if I do n''t stick a pin in old Jack when he''s asleep to- night-- and how will he like it?"
21359Shall I come?"
21359Shall we try for that wood in front?"
21359Shure an''how big is the baste, sor?"
21359Sure we''re never going near any more of thim rivers, Masther Dick?"
21359Two boot?"
21359Was I not right in being prepared for emergencies?"
21359What do you say it is, Jack?"
21359What does that little bird keep flying to us for, and then going away?"
21359What is there to be afraid of?"
21359What''ll I do now?
21359What''ll the masther say?"
21359What''s a Snider to do wid me?
21359What''s old Pomp found?"
21359What''s the good of taking it, father?"
21359What''s the matter wid ye?
21359Where are you?"
21359Where did you stand?"
21359Where is he?"
21359Where is that scoundrel of a Zulu?
21359Where was the wound?"
21359Where''s yours?"
21359Where?
21359Where?"
21359Where?"
21359Where?"
21359Which one would you like, Jack?"
21359Which way shall we turn?
21359Who''s it to be?"
21359Why do n''t it go along quietly?"
21359Why, what''s the General going to do?"
21359Why, where is he?
21359Would n''t ye fetch one of the horses, Masther Dick?"
21359Ye know that grate big pig wid the horn on his nose came and upset me fire, and run away wid me wardrobe?"
21359You are not tied to your farming in any way?"
21359You know what it is, of course?"
21359You know what they''re like?"
21359and did n''t the big baste stale my gyarments in the most ondacent way?"
21359ca n''t you get out?"
21359cried Dinny,"whin there is n''t a bit of me as big as saxpence that has n''t got a thorn shtuck in it?"
21359cried the boy, excitedly,"But did you see what a splendid shot Jack made?
21359said Dick stoutly, as he stood there with his rifle--"fight?"
21359said Dick;"or do you think it is following us, from its footprints?"
21359said Dick;"you let the baboons drive you back?"
21359said Dinny indignantly;"shure, an''ye would n''t have a boy slape on the bare flure, when ye''ve got hapes of feather to make beds with inside?"
21359two tiny punctures together?"
21359what are ye shouting about?
21359what''s that?"
21359what''s that?"
21359what''s the matter?

15387Do you charge anything for the ride?

15387Does Trick, by Catton?
15387Full, indeed?
15387Gentlemen,said I,"Who are you?"
15387Have I all my shoes on?
15387Have you all your things, dearest? 15387 Have you any coin to lend on unexceptionable personal security, with a power of killing and selling your man if he do n''t pay?"
15387Here''s Mr. Wigney, the member for Brighton,they cried out;"I say, old boy, are you for the ballot?
15387How are ye, my lad of wax? 15387 How are you James?"
15387How are you, Jorrocks?
15387How did you know that I was a young chap?
15387How moch?
15387How much?
15387How much?
15387How now?
15387How now?
15387How stands the case?
15387How''s that?
15387I do n''t like it,said Jorrocks;"is never a gate near?"
15387I say, Waggey,cries he( singling out a friend stationed by his lordship),"had you ought on Trick, by Catton?"
15387I say, sir, do you belong to the Phenix? 15387 I say, young chap,"inquired Jorrocks,"whose is that?"
15387I''opes not,replied Jemmy in a fluster,"is it raining?
15387Is B---- out of the Bench yet?
15387Is Mr. Jorrocks in?
15387Is the box- seat engaged?
15387Is there no piece of tomfoolery too great for you? 15387 Jorrocks,"said he,"who''s that?"
15387Mr. Hacres within?
15387Mr. Jorrocks, shall I trouble you for half a crown?
15387My own, to be sure,said Jorrocks, taking hold of the green collar of his coat, as much as to say,"How can you ask such a question?"
15387No,said green- coat,"I mean where do you turn out the stag?"
15387No; where will you sit, sir? 15387 Non, non, I say vot ears he has?"
15387Non, non,stamping,"I say vot ears( years) he has?"
15387Now who holds number two?--what lady or gentleman holds number two? 15387 Now, Tomkins, where''s the bottle?"
15387Now, who''s for it? 15387 Number one!--who holds number one?"
15387Oh my vig what have I done? 15387 Oh yes, Jorrocks promised us a subscription last year,"observed another,"and he is a man of his word-- arn''t you old leather breeches?"
15387Oh, I see,replies Sam,"you are one of the reg''lar city coves, then-- now, what brings you here?"
15387Oh, John? 15387 Oh, Tom Hills!--Tom Hills!--''what are you at?
15387Oh, but that''s a bad job, said the huntsman;"what shall we do?"
15387Oh, he''s our huntsman,replied he;"you know Tom, do n''t you?"
15387Oh, leathers?
15387Oh, the deuce!--did that old devil catch you?
15387Old Harry?
15387Old Scratch breeches,re- echoed the Countess--"no, dat shall not do."--"Beelzebub?"
15387Old Scratch, then?
15387Or perhaps you''d prefer a cut of boiled beef with yellow fat, and a dab of cabbage?
15387Pray, are your clocks here by London time?
15387Pray, what rooms may you require?
15387Que fait votre femme?
15387Quel age avez- vous, Monsieur? 15387 Quelle potage voulez vous, monsieur?"
15387Sare, what''s your name, sare?
15387Satan, then?
15387So glad to see you, J----"So glad to see you, G----"So glad to see you, J----"And pray what may you have in your basket?

15387Stop her?
15387Take a cigar, sir?
15387Take some cheese, sir?
15387Thank ye, master, you''re another,said the toll- taker;"and now that you have had your say, vot do ye ax for your mouth?"
15387That is a quail, the other a snipe-- which will you take?
15387That''s a pity,replied Sam,"for you look like a promising man-- a handsome- bodied chap in the face-- don''t you sport any?"
15387Then avez- vous any roast beef?
15387Then, why the devil did you not say so, you great lout, instead of putting me into a sweat this''ot day by speaking French to you?
15387Then, wot the''ell business have you at Newmarket?
15387Thompson,said Mr. Jorrocks, in a firm tone of voice,"how are you?"
15387Turn out,said he,"why, ye do n''t suppose we be come calf- hunting, do ye?
15387Vere be you going to turn out pray, sir, may I inquire?
15387Vether a mule brays or neighs?
15387Vich be de Newmarket Voiture?

15387Vot''s he doing here?
15387Vot, do you know her?
15387Vot, five hundred livre?
15387Vot, only three left? 15387 Votre nom et designation?"
15387Vy, a bit of both, I think; and do you eat these chaps with them?
15387Vy, what does it do then?
15387We shall have the Croydon Canal,cries Mr. H----n, of Tottenham, who knows every flint in the country,"and how will you like that, my hearties?"
15387Well, but tell me, gentlemen, where do we dine?
15387Well, then, we will have the''entrée de boeuf-- beef with sauce tomate-- and there is a côtelette de veau en papillotte;--which will you take?
15387What Green is it, Green of Rollestone?
15387What do n''t''e like it, sir, eh? 15387 What do you hunt?"
15387What do you want, my lord?
15387What is the French for fox-''unter?
15387What is there?
15387What should you know about the_ Magnet_?
15387What sport have you had?
15387What starts? 15387 What were you wishing to say, sir?"
15387What will anyone lay about Trick, by Catton?
15387What''s happened now, Binjimin?
15387What''s happened now?
15387What''s second?
15387What''s that about?
15387What''s that?
15387What''s that?
15387What''s to pay?
15387What''s won? 15387 What, summer and winter?"
15387What, you''ve been among the ladies, have you? 15387 What-- breeches?"
15387Where are you for now? 15387 Where the h-- ll are you going to, sir?"
15387Where will you sit at dinner?
15387Which, then?
15387Who am I? 15387 Who am I?"
15387Who are you?
15387Who are you?
15387Who be that?
15387Who do they call Nodding Homer in your hunt?
15387Who''s that?
15387Why do n''t you go with the hounds?
15387Why now, you old imbecile,cried he, jumping off his chairs and running up to him,"What are you after?"
15387Why, I ca n''t say I do, exactly,said he;"but tell me, is he called Hills because he rides up and down these hills, or is that his real name?"
15387Why, how''s that?
15387Why, what the deuce is this you are in?
15387Why, where have you lived all your life?
15387Will you discount me a bill at three months?
15387Will you take some of this thingumbob?
15387Wot, do you speak English?
15387Wot?
15387Would ye?
15387Yes, breeches-- but the oder name-- vot you call dem?
15387You find it very warm inside, I should think, sir?
15387You old fool,said Thompson,"you forget where you are; if I could pay you your little bill, do you suppose I would be here?
15387You think so, do you, Mister Jorrocks; ca n''t you renew it? 15387 You''ve been in Paris, I suppose,"resumed Nimrod, after their respective digits were released;"were you much gratified with what you saw?
15387_ Avez- vous_ any potted lobster?
15387''"Ow are you, G----?"
15387''Ave you got ever a rope in your pocket?
15387''Now''s the day and now''s the hour''; who''s for some grouse?
15387''Ow are you, Mr. Nimrod?
15387''Ow long do you remain?"
15387''Qu''aimez- vous le mieux, la cuisse ou l''aile?''"
15387''Twill be all the same one hundred years hence.--All right?
15387--"Old Nick breeches,"said the Countess thoughtfully;"no, dat sall not be it-- vot else?"
15387--"You''re not going down that bank, surely sir?
15387--"who''s got your breeches, old cock?"
15387--But where''s the use of titivating one''s appetite with reading of such luxteries?
15387--No, nor a great bit either.--''Which do you like best, leg or wing?''
15387--That means rough and enough, I suppose,"observed Mr. Jorrocks to the Yorkshireman.--"''What time do we dine to- day?
15387--The next day, up came the boots duller than ever.--''Bless my soul,''exclaimed he,''why, they are worse than before, how''s this, sir?''
15387A few-- you''ve perhaps heard tell of the Surrey''unt?
15387A quelle heure dine-- hang me if I know how to call this chap-- dine[ spelling it], t''on?"
15387Ah, yonder he goes, the tailless beggar; did you see him as he stole past the corner out of the early- cabbage bed?
15387All right behind?
15387All true what I''ve told you, is n''t it, Binjimin?
15387And now wot do you call this chap?"
15387And what''s this?"
15387Are we near Paris?
15387Belinda, my love, does the Yorkshireman take care of you?
15387Belinda, my love,''ow are you?
15387Besides, what business had Kitey to say anything about Bagnigge Vells?
15387Binjimin, you blackguard, where are you?
15387Bless your heart, do n''t I see a gilt fox on one end, and a gilt hare on the other?"
15387But blow me tight, you surely do n''t want a candle to breakfast by?
15387But come, take another glass of Chablis, for your voice is husky as though your throat was full of dust.--Will you eat some of this boulli- vert?"
15387But come-- jump up-- where''s your nag?
15387But suppose we add to''Chasseur''--''Member of the Surrey Hunt?''"
15387But what do they mean by setting the dessert on before the cloth is removed?
15387But where is Mr. Jorrocks all this time?
15387But who is so fortunate as to be near the scene of action in this second scurry, almost as fast as the first?
15387Cocktail affair, is n''t it?
15387Crane--''werry rum?'')
15387Did you know anything of them''ere ancient Romans?
15387Do you prefer a right or left wing, sir?
15387Do you remember the owdacious leap he took over the tinker''s tent, at Epping''Unt, last Easter?
15387Do you shave by that''ere glazed castor of yours?"
15387Do you take me, sir?
15387Does Lord Eldon start?"
15387Does n''t you think these inns werry expensive places, sir?
15387French: A quelle heure dinons- nous aujourd''hui?--Italian: A che hora( ora) si prancey( pranza) oggi?''"
15387Garsoon,"said he catching a servant with a trayful of_ eau sucrée_ glasses,"avez- vous kick- shaws to eat?"
15387Gentlemen, I say, in rising to propose the toast which I am about to give, I feel-- I feel--(Crane--''werry nervous?'')
15387Giles?"
15387Have you any mock turtle or gravy soup?"
15387Have you come here to insult me in my own house?
15387Having"peeled,"he rubbed his hands and blew upon them, as much as to say,"Now, gentlemen, wo n''t you let me have a smell of the fire?"
15387Hope you are peckish too; what shall I give you?
15387Hopper?"
15387How are you, eh?
15387How is that horse bred?
15387How old you are, sare?"
15387I guess he sall be varé rich-- n''est ce pas?
15387I say, in rising to propose the toast which I am about to give, I feel--(Mr. Spiers--''very foolish?''
15387I''m quite shocked to see you; you do n''t surely live upon hair?
15387I''ve heard of you, I think-- Nimrod Brothers and Co., bottle merchants, Crutched Friars, ai n''t it?"
15387If you had done your part of the bargain, I would have done mine, but''ow can you expect to be paid after spilling me?
15387Is Mr. Nimrod gone?"
15387Is it Tunbridge?"
15387Is it a likely find to- day?
15387It brays, does it?"
15387J---- feel werry--(Mr. Spiers,''werry sick?'')
15387J---- feel werry--(Nimrod,''werry wise?'')
15387J---- werry--(Crane,''werry thirsty?'')
15387J----?"
15387J----?"
15387Jorrocks, getting up, runs to the table on which the hats were standing, saying,"I wonder if he''s left his castor behind him?
15387Jorrocks, my friend,''ow do ye do?"
15387Jorrocks?"
15387Jorrocks?"
15387Let me see, what''s his name?
15387Meager had to- day?"
15387Mr. Jorrocks met with friends and acquaintances at every turn, most of whom asked"when he came?"
15387Nimrod--''very funny?''
15387No, which Brown-- not John Brown?
15387Pantaloons, perhaps, you mean?"
15387Pray, is the ould gintleman your father or your grandfather?"
15387Pray, sir,"touching his hat to me,"are you booked here?
15387Pray, sir,"turning to the Yorkshireman with a jerk,"do you dance?"
15387Rigler swells, though, the chaps, arn''t they?
15387So now where to, your honour?
15387Still the beggars eat, as when does a cockney not in the open air?
15387Stubbs,''ow are ye?"
15387Suppose we goes at him first?"
15387Suppose we take a sniff of the briny-- Margate-- Ramsgate-- Broadstairs?
15387Tell me one thing-- is there a good place to feed at?"
15387The Sunflower drew near-- Green looked confused-- she fixed her eye upon him, half in fear, half in entreaty-- would he offer to throw for her?
15387Their inquiries were business- like and familiar:--"are ye, Jorrocks?"
15387Then out came the purses, brown, green, and blue, with the usual inquiry,"What''s dinner, waiter?"
15387There was a conversation with a lacquey, however, commencing with--"Are you disposed to enter into my service?"
15387There, now take some tea and toast or one of those biscuits, or whatever you like; would a little more''am be agreeable?
15387These are yours, I presume, gentlemen?"
15387Vere do you turn out to- day?
15387Vere''s the stag?
15387Vot is it you call Davil in Angleterre?"
15387Vot you are, sare?"
15387Vy do n''t you show your badge?"
15387Well, Mr. Yorkshireman, I do n''t care if I do go with you-- but where shall it be to?
15387Well, Stubbs, my boy,''ow do you do?
15387What do you think of it?"
15387What is that hound got by?
15387What pleased you most-- the Tuileries, Louvre, Garden of Plants, Père la Chaise, Notre Dame, or what?"
15387What say you, Mr. York?
15387What says Juvenal, when speaking of the entry of luxury into Rome?"
15387What shall I do?
15387What sport had you on Wednesday?
15387What the deuce are they doing in France?
15387What''s come across you now?
15387What''s this thing?"
15387What''s this?"
15387What, Brown of Goodman''s Fields?
15387When do n''t the Surrey kill, I should like to know?"
15387Where are now the jocund laugh, the repartee, the oft- repeated tale, the last debate?
15387Where is there an inn where I can recruit my famished frame?
15387Where the deuce did you get these things?"
15387Where''s my sword?"
15387Where, I ax, is the use of carrying nightcaps, when the innkeepers always prowide them, without extra charge?
15387Who does not recognise in this last disaster, the truth of the old adage?
15387Who ever saw two rounds of beef, as you wanted to have?
15387Who shall describe the misery that ensued?
15387Who wants a fat chap to send to their friends this Christmas?"
15387Whose soul has ever warmed as it approached thy town?
15387Why von''t you let Batsay arrange the table?
15387Wot say you?
15387Wot would they think to see such a concern in Cheapside?
15387Yet, stay-- that''s no fox-- it''s a hare: and yet Tom Hills makes straight for the spot-- and did you hear that loud tally- ho?
15387You ca n''t squeeze blood out of a turnip, can ye?
15387You do n''t lush much, I fancy?"
15387You do n''t mean these sacks of things, called trousers?"
15387You have the most extraordinary adventures of any man breathing-- but what did you do with your own machine?
15387You know James Green, do n''t you?"
15387You know Melton, Mr. York; did you ever see the gentleman out?"
15387You seem to have but a shortish pack, I think-- ten, twelve, fourteen couple--''ow''s that?
15387You whiles go to the lush- crib, Mr. Yorkshireman; what now do you reckon best after a regular drench?
15387_ Jorrocks._ Oh, Mr. York, it''s you, is it?
15387and thereupon they joined hands most cordially, amid exclamations of,"''Ow are you, J----?"
15387and"How are you, Brack?"
15387and"when he was going away?"
15387and, in the hopes of hitting upon something that would convey his wishes, he"hark''d forward,"and passing by--"Are you married?"
15387arrived at--"What is your wife''s occupation?"
15387at length said I, taking him by the hand,"how are you, my old boy?"
15387by how much?"
15387cried Mr. Spring, turning to Jorrocks,"did n''t I tell you so?"
15387cried the Yorkshireman, and then hailing Mr. Jorrocks he holloaed out,"In the name of the prophet, Figs, what are you doing there?"
15387grinned Mrs. J----,"neighs, does it?
15387haw!--But tell me what is there at Newmarket that should take a man there?"
15387he succeeded in extracting the word"Wot?"
15387here, pray who is that gentleman that came in by the Liverpool coach to- night?
15387how would that read?
15387inquired Green with the utmost affability--"I hopes she''s uncommon well-- pray, is she of your party?"
15387inquired Jorrocks of a gentleman in scarlet;"have you been with Jolliffe?"
15387inquired Mr. Jorrocks, with anxiety on his countenance, as the boy re- entered the room;"the''osses arn''t amiss, I''ope?"
15387inquires the landlord, coming out with the wide- spread way- bill in his hands,"have you two insides?"
15387looking up at a sign,"''Done a boar in a manger,''what does this mean?--where''s my French dictionary?
15387old''un,"said Nimrod in astonishment;"why, what''s the matter now?
15387roared he at the top of his voice,"who sent for you?
15387said Green, in his usual flippant style, with a nod of his head,"''ow are ye, Nimrod?
15387said Mr. Jorrocks,"a guinea one-- and we''ll ax my friend here.--Now, what''s that?"
15387said Mr. Jorrocks,"wot does that mean?"
15387said the toll- taker--"vy, vot do ye call your consarn?"
15387turning round and addressing the Yorkshireman as if nothing had happened--"suppose you get one like it?"
15387what are you after?''"
15387what are you at, Markis?
15387what does the chap mean?"
15387what luggage have you?"
15387what''s won?
15387what''s won?"
15387where are you for?"
15387where is old Tom, and the old ramping hen?"
15387who does that d----d parrot and the cock- a- too belong to that you''ve got stuck up there?
15387who the devil do you think eats old shoes here?
15387who''s going down?"
15387why, what in the name of all that''s impure, have you to do at Newmarket?"
15387why, you infidel, have you no conscience?"
15387ye young scaramouch, vot do you mean by insulting a gentleman sportsman in broad daylight, in the presence of a lady of quality?
15387you blackguard,"holloaing down the kitchen stairs,"why do n''t you set out the castors as I told you?
15387you hunt, do you?
15387you willain, where are you?"
41671A big flight?
41671A what?
41671About what?
41671Ah-- What''d you say?
41671All night?
41671And if he did n''t,Callahan commented,"he''s a long way back in the Mahela, huh?"
41671And if you ca n''t?
41671And where,Al asked,"will they be come huntin''season?"
41671And you found my tobacco pouch?
41671And you turned him down?
41671Are n''t you afraid to let him run?
41671Are you sure?
41671Are you trying to beat yourself out of seventy- five dollars? 41671 Are-- are you going to join the hunt for Dad?"
41671As big,and a smile lurked in John Wilson''s voice,"as your Damon and Pythias?"
41671But before the season?
41671But does n''t everybody do that?
41671But you heard no shooting?
41671But you''d like one?
41671But-- What good will that do?
41671But--"But what?
41671By any chance, a two- legged coyote?
41671Call your dog, will you? 41671 Can I help?"
41671Can you account for your actions of today?
41671Can you prove all this?
41671Can you tell me the exact story?
41671Could even be a_ true_ story, huh?
41671Dad did n''t step out from beside the rock, or anything like that?
41671Did Smoky have any idea as to who was shooting at what?
41671Did Smoky hear any shooting?
41671Did he come back here?
41671Did n''t you ever hear about me?
41671Did you expect to get it in a week?
41671Did you have your rifle with you?
41671Did you notice anything unusual about that buck?
41671Did you say shoot?
41671Did you see Thornton?
41671Did--?
41671Do n''t you see?
41671Do n''t you think we should have a faucet on this gooseneck?
41671Do you believe Dad shot Smoky?
41671Do you feel all right?
41671Do you have to be so gloomy?
41671Do you own this land?
41671Do you think I''m asking too much money?
41671Do-- Do you want to talk with Dad soon?
41671Do-- do your folks know you''re here?
41671Does n''t anybody hunt anything except deer?
41671Does that trooper really think he, or anyone else, can track Dad?
41671Find any sign?
41671For sure now?
41671For taking Dad to jail?
41671Get your coyote?
41671Go on?
41671Had it been fired?
41671Had n''t you ought to get it first?
41671Has he talked?
41671Have a bite with us, Lorin''?
41671Have they been pushing you pretty hard, Loring?
41671He did?
41671He what?
41671Here?
41671Highly- trained, too, is n''t he? 41671 How about the bullet?"
41671How about you, Jack?
41671How are things?
41671How come?
41671How do you figger it?
41671How do you know he fell there?
41671How do you know he was shot near them three sycamores in Coon Valley?
41671How do you know?
41671How do you know?
41671How long should I wait?
41671How would you feel?
41671How you comin''?
41671Huh?
41671I know but-- What''s Tammie barking at?
41671I mean, since we took him away last night?
41671I say, would you mind if I just wandered about on my own?
41671I see,Ted observed,"that you got my message?"
41671I''ll help you, huh?
41671If you had a choice, would you stay here or at Crestwood?
41671Is he dead?
41671Is he goin''to die?
41671Is n''t it traditional for hunters to be in the woods at dawn?
41671Is that strange?
41671Is the reason good enough for you?
41671Is there a choice?
41671Is there any reason,Al asked,"why a body ca n''t eat first?
41671Is there anything else?
41671Is this yours?
41671Is your dad guilty?
41671It is?
41671Just what did he say?
41671Lonesome for a human being, fella?
41671Lorin'', where was Smoky shot?
41671Loring, has it occurred to anybody, except me, that the back of Glory Rock is a sheer drop? 41671 Lots of grouse?"
41671May I bring the fellows in?
41671Message?
41671Mighty important point,Al said gravely,"but do you figure you got to throw out that much sign?
41671Mind if I smoke?
41671No sign of anything else?
41671No work today?
41671Not even to get your job back?
41671Nothing else?
41671Now this''available for season,''do you think I should say at ten per cent discount?
41671On what grounds?
41671Ready?
41671Ready?
41671S''pose you get about four more parcels of pork chops out and start''em cookin?
41671Seen Damon and Pythias lately?
41671Shall we go?
41671Shall we go?
41671Smoky Delbert give you any trouble?
41671Smoky''s very sure of that? 41671 So that makes Thornton better''n you, huh?
41671So?
41671So?
41671So?
41671Some buck, eh?
41671Somebody finally got him, huh?
41671Ted, do you know anyone at all in the Mahela who lives up to the full letter of the game laws? 41671 Ted?"
41671Tell you what?
41671That is your tobacco pouch?
41671That''s all? 41671 That?"
41671Then I am in the right place?
41671Then he did know Dad had gone up Coon Valley ahead of him?
41671Then he--?
41671Then what is it? 41671 Then you can help him?"
41671Then you crossed back to the Fordham Road?
41671Then you do know where he is?
41671There who is?
41671Think you can stay out of other people''s chicken coops?
41671This is''chow''?
41671This the camp?
41671This yours?
41671Uh-- are you going bear hunting with revolvers?
41671Uh-- how much bear hunting have any of you done?
41671Waitin''for somebody?
41671Want to go?
41671Want to tell me why?
41671Want to tell me?
41671Want to tell me?
41671Was Smoky afraid to go on?
41671Was it bad?
41671Was your father with you today?
41671Well, who could be sure? 41671 What are you going to do?"
41671What are you talking about?
41671What could?
41671What did he tell you?
41671What did you find in Coon Valley?
41671What do we do now?
41671What do you expect to find?
41671What do you mean?
41671What do you suggest I do?
41671What do you suggest, Ted?
41671What do you think your bed''s for?
41671What do you want to know, Ted?
41671What do you want?
41671What for?
41671What goes on?
41671What have you got, Tammie?
41671What is it?
41671What is n''t?
41671What shall I say if they come?
41671What time did you go up Coon Valley?
41671What time do you want me there, Ted?
41671What time?
41671What time?
41671What would you carry if you was huntin''a coyote? 41671 What would you do if you ran across Dad?"
41671What''d you do if you was on your way to jail? 41671 What''d you do to him?"
41671What''d you see?
41671What''s he mad at?
41671What''s he want?
41671What''s in the sack?
41671What''s it like on top?
41671What''s that?
41671What''s the matter? 41671 What''s up?"
41671What''s your way?
41671When did all this happen?
41671When did he leave here?
41671Where do they lurk during deer season?
41671Where is he?
41671Where they hangin''out?
41671Where was he?
41671Where you been the past twenty or twenty- five years, Jack? 41671 Where''d he go?"
41671Where?
41671Where?
41671Which one you aim to get? 41671 Who does n''t violate the law?
41671Who in his right mind would let himself in for this sort of thing?
41671Who''s the brains of this outfit?
41671Who?
41671Why ca n''t you talk?
41671Why ca n''t you tell me what you did with it?
41671Why did n''t you come last night?
41671Why did n''t you stop him? 41671 Why did you laugh?"
41671Why do n''t you find it?
41671Why do n''t you get a different job, Nels? 41671 Why do you want it, Thornton?"
41671Why not?
41671Why not?
41671Why not?
41671Why not?
41671Why should he have been afraid? 41671 Why would n''t he?"
41671Why''s he want those two bucks?
41671Why, did n''t you know?
41671Why?
41671Why?
41671Will a shotgun halt them when they charge?
41671Will you do me a favor?
41671Will you take this pipe?
41671Would you have a little time to talk?
41671Yes?
41671Yes?
41671You are?
41671You can say definitely that they will not charge?
41671You do n''t aim to change your mind?
41671You do?
41671You ever make that crossin''?
41671You feel pretty bitter, do n''t you?
41671You fired Ted?
41671You have?
41671You have?
41671You know of those two bucks they call Damon and Pythias?
41671You mean it?
41671You mean let him get away with it?
41671You mean?
41671You refuse to admit you shot Delbert?
41671You seen your dad?
41671You wo n''t resist?
41671You worked at the old Hawley logging camp?
41671You''re sure now?
41671You''re sure?
41671You''ve never hunted?
41671You--?
41671Your dog, eh?
41671_ Hm- m._ Want me to pick him up for it?
41671A pocketful of pebbles?"
41671Al asked,"Can you think of any more excuses for deep thinkin''?"
41671Al, will you talk to me?"
41671And you?"
41671Are four of us going to eat that?"
41671Beaulieu?"
41671Bee sting you?"
41671Been waitin''long?"
41671But I saw your light and--""What on earth have you been doing?"
41671But he did n''t, yet to say the wrong thing might mean to give offense,"Uh-- aren''t you--?"
41671But how about the opposite slope?
41671But how could Ted report Arthur Beamish''s when Beamish was his guest?
41671But if we''re going to Glory Rock, why ca n''t we drive to the mouth of Coon Valley?"
41671But now that Thornton was leaving, was there any reason why he should be shielded?
41671But perhaps you will tell us where we have the best chance of encountering bears?"
41671But suppose he was wrong?
41671But was he interested in woodcock?
41671But which of the three should he accept?
41671Call him back, will you?
41671Call him back, will you?"
41671Can you arrange that?"
41671Can you let me know at once if it is available?
41671Can you send him up tomorrow?"
41671Can you?''
41671Come in an''have a cup of coffee?"
41671Damon?
41671Did he shrink from breaking the law?
41671Did you ever cross that way?"
41671Do n''t you know that failing to do so can make you liable to arrest as an accessory after the fact?"
41671Do you have any bright ideas?"
41671Do you know anyone who does n''t take what he wants when he wants it, in season or out?"
41671Do you know where we can get a wet nurse?"
41671Do you mind if I carry a rifle?"
41671Do you think I should return to the town through which we just passed and buy them rifles and revolvers?"
41671Do you think I should say,''Bring extra cots for more than eight?''"
41671Do you think I should say,''deer and small game abundant''?"
41671Do you think you can get him to come back and give himself up?"
41671Do you want the pick or the shovel?"
41671Does it make any difference if those bucks are shot now or six weeks from now?"
41671Does your dad mind laying out?"
41671Everything''s O.K., eh?"
41671Finally Loring Blade asked,"Are you ready, Al?"
41671Finally he murmured,"So now you''re goin''to be a famous resort owner?"
41671Four more packages meant that they would cook thirty pork chops, and what were any four men-- even four ravenous men-- to do with them?
41671Get it?"
41671Had Jack Callahan, nobody''s fool, seen more than he had admitted seeing?
41671Had he slipped back after leaving Ted and found the pack himself?
41671Had this sudden, terrible accusation unseated Al''s reason?
41671Harkness?"
41671He asked,"Are you Ted Harkness?"
41671He does n''t have any grub except the load he cooked the night Loring and I were here-- and was n''t I the dope not to see through that?
41671Help me pack all thet grub we cooked for supper, will you?
41671His captor asked sternly,"What are you doing here?"
41671How about it?"
41671How are things?"
41671How are you and Thornton gettin''along?"
41671How are you doing?"
41671How are you feeling?"
41671How are you going to decide exactly whether you turned him in to settle a grudge or because you''re a believer in conservation?
41671How are you making out, Ted?"
41671How do you like us?"
41671How do you tell''em apart?"
41671How have you been?"
41671How many city people can take a whole season just to go huntin''?
41671How many papers you crumpled so far?"
41671How was his father spending this chilly night-- and where?
41671How''d you manage that?"
41671How''s the boss?"
41671I do not want your camp, but do you want to guide a doddering old man?
41671If there was some idea behind this madness, what could it possibly be?
41671Is Loring home?"
41671Is nine dollars a day all right?"
41671Is the other as big?"
41671Is this deep enough?"
41671It was Dad that rose from behind the rock?"
41671It would be silly to threaten Carl Thornton, and how could he report him to the game warden when he had broken no law?
41671Jack Callahan challenged,"What do you mean by that?"
41671John Wilson asked,"He''s been wounded before, eh?"
41671John Wilson broke it with a quiet,"Is there a story behind it?"
41671John Wilson, looking at the dying embers in the fireplace, asked quietly,"Got your campaign mapped, General?"
41671Just how did one approach an attorney and what did one say to him?
41671Just how much had Callahan seen?
41671Just wait?"
41671Loring Blade asked,"What now?"
41671Making a motion to crumple this paper too, he thought better of it and called,"How''s this, Dad?
41671Meet me at two?"
41671Now do you think it could be the bullet that went through Smoky Delbert?"
41671Now that he was here, just what was he supposed to do?
41671Now who''d think a Boston bull-- What''s that?"
41671Now will you please show us the camp?"
41671Obviously he had guessed wrong, and what now?
41671One you can depend on?"
41671Or Pythias?"
41671Or had n''t Ted heard correctly?
41671Or me?"
41671Pretty warm for this time of year, is n''t it?"
41671See him?"
41671Shall we get out to the house?"
41671Shall we start earning our wages?"
41671Smoky would blackmail him.__ Thornton paying Delbert''s hospital bills._"Did I hit him square?"
41671Something wrong, Ted?"
41671Suppose I had my pouch, could n''t I have lost it when I passed the sycamores?"
41671Ted asked without much interest,"What happened?"
41671Ted asked,"Can you handle the stoves and everything?"
41671Ted asked,"What now?"
41671Ted asked,"You tired?"
41671Ted whispered,"What are we going to do, Tammie?"
41671Ted, do you think he shot Smoky?"
41671That dog will do almost anything you want him to, wo n''t he?"
41671There had to be more than that, but what?
41671There''s more than one side to this, Jack, and suppose you simmer down?"
41671Think I want''em shootin''up you or Tammie?"
41671Think they''ll work?"
41671This works good, huh?
41671Turn handsprings?"
41671Uh-- thought I heard you talking?"
41671Was he afraid of Loring Blade, the game warden?
41671What can I do for you?"
41671What could have happened out in the Mahela?
41671What did the fluttering cloths mean?
41671What do you always say?"
41671What peril did they indicate?
41671What time did he come back last night?"
41671What time do you plan to get out in the morning?"
41671What''s his name?"
41671What''s it worth for you to have it?"
41671What''s wrong?"
41671When the two had finished eating, Ted asked,"Shall we go?"
41671Where do these two big bucks hang out?"
41671Where had they come from?
41671Where was it?
41671Where''s your father now?"
41671Who did shoot this Delbert?"
41671Who expects to get shot?"
41671Who had done this dreadful thing?
41671Who had taken a horse up the valley, and why?
41671Who talked with him after he was shot?"
41671Who''s going to follow Tammie?
41671Why did n''t you tell me we were going to climb the Matterhorn?"
41671Why do n''t you start your men into the hills?"
41671Why?"
41671Why?"
41671Will you eat with us?"
41671Wo n''t you help me to help you?"
41671Wonder how the lucky cuss got it?"
41671Would you care to start at daylight?"
41671Yah?"
41671You brought Smoky''s rifle out?"
41671You do know where he is?"
41671You go down?
41671You hear from your pa, Ted?"
41671You like grouse hunting, eh?"
41671You really think this is all right?"
41671You want to saw wood?"
41671You would n''t change your mind?"
41671You would n''t think fifteen men, or fourteen men and a boy, ate and slept in that old house, would you?"
41671You''ll have some explaining to do, Thornton, and_ can you explain_?"
41671You''re a pretty good deer hunter, are n''t you?"
41671You-- You know where?"
16957Are your sisters going to the Christmas ball?
16957How so?
16957Is my lord out?
16957What''s over the left?
16957saddle my hog,was it?''
16957''"Every hound scoring to cry, and making the"--the-- the-- what d''ye call the thing?''
16957''"Well, how do you know, Jack?"
16957''"Who the Dickens are you?"
16957''"Whose are they, then?"
16957''''Ord rot you, you belong to that old ruffian, do you?''
16957''( Hiccup) call to them?''
16957''( Hiccup) to- morrow?
16957''A little brandy, perhaps?''
16957''A quarter of a century?''
16957''A sportsman or a sporting man?''
16957''A( puff) ride, a( wheeze) walk, or a( gasp) what?''
16957''About the w- h- a- w- t?''
16957''About time to take soundings, and cast anchor, is n''t it?''
16957''Admiring the cows, Captain Bouncey?''
16957''Ah, I do n''t mean in the way of eating and drinking, but in the way of encouragement-- in the way of a present, you know?''
16957''Ah, I suppose-- the_ New Monthly_, perhaps?''
16957''Ah, you_ will_, will ye?''
16957''All yours?''
16957''And do_ you_ like horses?''
16957''And how did you lose your tail?''
16957''And how many run to ground?''
16957''And how''s our friend Sponge?''
16957''And is that your extraordinary horse with all the legs?''
16957''And look who comes here?''
16957''And that you think would be sufficient?''
16957''And there''s Lucy; and where''s Miss Howard, I wonder?''
16957''And what did you make of Sir Harry?''
16957''And what shall we send it to?--the_ Sporting Magazine_, or what?''
16957''And what will you give me for my half?''
16957''And whativer am I to do for clothin''?''
16957''And who have we here, with the four horses and sky- blue flunkeys?
16957''And who was the other?''
16957''And who''d have thought of seeing_ you_?''
16957''And who''s that in yellow?''
16957''Anybody comin''?''
16957''Are there any hounds in your neighbourhood?''
16957''Are there many hunting- men down?''
16957''Are they all gone?''
16957''Are they chaps with any"go"in them?--shake their elbows, or anything of that sort?''
16957''Are they, think you?''
16957''Are they?''
16957''Are you fond of horses?''
16957''Are you fond of steeple- chases?''
16957''Are you sure?''
16957''Are your stables full at Jawleyford Court?''
16957''As a letter?''
16957''Beg pardon, sir,''said Mr. Plummey,''but cook, sir, wishes to know, sir, if you dine here to- day, sir?''
16957''Begin?''
16957''But how am I to get back to Lucksford?''
16957''But they are going to hunt, are n''t they?''
16957''But those who_ were_ out will blab, wo n''t they?''
16957''But what good,''as our excellent friend Thackeray eloquently asks,''ever came out of, or went into, a betting book?
16957''But what must I do with my horse?''
16957''But what shall I do with the hounds?''
16957''But what''s happened you behind?--what''s happened you behind?''
16957''But where''s my little friend, Augustus James?''
16957''But where''s the use of it?''
16957''But wo n''t they be expecting you at home, Robert?''
16957''But you''ve had a run?''
16957''Ca n''t you call him?''
16957''Ca n''t you manage it?''
16957''Ca n''t you see?
16957''Cigar( wheeze), cigar( puff)?''
16957''Could n''t we contrive something,''asked Mr. Waffles,''to draw him out?''
16957''Could n''t you manage to get him to go?''
16957''Could n''t your lordship arrange it so that we might have the pleasure of seeing you both on some future day?''
16957''Could you get me a pen and ink, think you?''
16957''Could you?''
16957''Cows( puff), cows( wheeze)?''
16957''Cross- roads, cross- roads-- what cross- roads?''
16957''D''ye see Tommy Claychop''s pasture?
16957''D''ye think not( wheeze)?''
16957''Dare say he would,''replied Sir Harry;''he looked like a( hiccup)er-- a white''un, was n''t he?''
16957''Dash my buttons, who have we here?''
16957''Deuced fine girls,''said he,''both of''em: wonder what he''ll give''em down?''
16957''Did I?''
16957''Did I?''
16957''Did he?''
16957''Did he?''
16957''Did you ever?''
16957''Did you( puff) say you were going to( wheeze) over to him?''
16957''Did you?''
16957''Do n''t I?''
16957''Do n''t you see it''s a hare?''
16957''Do n''t you see,''asked Sponge tartly,''there''s a road by the corn- stacks yonder?''
16957''Do n''t you think we can do without him?''
16957''Do they?''
16957''Do you hunt to- morrow?''
16957''Do you know much of that-- that-- that--_chap_?''
16957''Do you know where the cross- roads are?''
16957''Do you know your room?''
16957''Do you mean he wants to buy him?''
16957''Do you never smoke?''
16957''Do you stay long in this part of the world?''
16957''Do you suppose, if I had, I''d have left Laverick Wells without paying Miss Bustlebey, or given a bill at three months for the house- rent?''
16957''Do you want to see him?''
16957''Do?''
16957''Does Jaw stand smoking?''
16957''Does anybody know the chap''s name?''
16957''Does he?''
16957''Does n''t it?''
16957''Drop what?''
16957''Fly_ what_?''
16957''From home, no; what should put that i''your head?''
16957''Going a- gunning, are you?''
16957''Good places?''
16957''Had n''t you better get changed as quick as possible?''
16957''Had they, sir-- had they?''
16957''Has Thornton any horses?''
16957''Has it?''
16957''Have a cigar?''
16957''Have n''t you a little drop in your pantry, think you?''
16957''Have n''t you a penknife?''
16957''Have you any note, or anything?''
16957''Have you any''baccy?''
16957''Have you got that?''
16957''Have you heard anything fresh?''
16957''Have you known him long?''
16957''Have you seen Jack Sprat?''
16957''Have you( hiccup)?
16957''Have you?''
16957''He''ll wait for you, I suppose?''
16957''He''ll wait for_ you_, I suppose?''
16957''He''s not a very fine gentleman, is he?''
16957''He''s not come, has he?''
16957''He''s rich, I suppose?''
16957''Hem-- cough-- hem-- hope he''s not much-- hem-- damaged?''
16957''Hill and dale?''
16957''Hilloo, wo n''t you come in and have some refreshment?''
16957''His lordship will lay out overnight, then?''
16957''Hope he did n''t lose him?''
16957''How are the horses?''
16957''How are they for length, sir?''
16957''How are you, Mr.( hiccup) Sponge?''
16957''How can I go,''asked Jack,''when the sinner''s written to put me off?''
16957''How d''ye know?''
16957''How d''ye think he begins?''
16957''How did my lord get his horse?''

16957''I always tell Jack you are the handsomest woman in Christendom; do n''t I, Jack?''
16957''I am,''replied our hero; adding,''may I ask who I have the honour of addressing?''
16957''I s''pose you''ll send me on wheels?''
16957''I suppose Mr. Waffles is your man?''
16957''I thought so,''replied Jack;''what''s the chap been after now?''
16957''I wonder what he was?''
16957''I wonder where he lives?''
16957''I wonder where he_ does_ live?''
16957''I''ll have a look at you,''observed Sponge, adding,''do you take in horses?''
16957''I''spose so,''replied Jack;''how would you think?''
16957''I''ve only bachelor''commodation to offer you; but p''raps you''ll not mind roughing it a bit?''
16957''In the way of a huntsman do you mean?''
16957''Indeed!--Jawleyford''s, are you?''
16957''Indeed,''responded Mr. Waffles; adding,''how could Mr. Sponge sell me such a brute?''

16957''Is there?''
16957''Is your friend What''s- his- name, a workman?''
16957''Is yours a good hunting country?''
16957''It is,''replied Mr. Sponge, adding,''wo n''t you be seated?''
16957''It surely ca n''t be my lord, or that Jack Spraggon coming after all?''
16957''It''s a cold day, Mr. Spraggon; wo n''t you come near the fire?''
16957''It''s not Scroggins, is it?''
16957''Jaw and the ladies well?''
16957''Just going,''replied Jack, with a touch of his hat, as he rolled on, adding,''want aught down the road?''
16957''Left( puff), left( wheeze)?''
16957''Let me help you to some of this cold round of beef?''
16957''May I give you tea or coffee?''
16957''Mild( wheeze), mild( puff), are they?''
16957''My daughters I think you know, Mr. Spraggon; also Mr. Sponge?
16957''My( puff) dear,''replied Jogglebury, looking coolly over his shoulder,''how can they be( wheeze) run over behind?''
16957''No doubt,''assented Captain Cutitfat, adding,''what business has he with the hounds?''
16957''No doubt,''hiccuped Sir Harry;''but what was_ he_ doing there?''
16957''No fear of his being at the roads to- morrow, is there?''
16957''No go, ye young infidel,''growled Watchorn,''who taught you to talk about go''s, I wonder?
16957''No--_over_--no,''snapped Jawleyford;''what should put that in your head?''
16957''Not gone to bed yet, old boy?''
16957''Not hurt, I hope?''
16957''Not sick again, are you?''
16957''Nothin''particklar, I think, sir,''adding, in an off- hand sort of way,''you''ve heard of the greet run, I s''pose, sir?''
16957''Now,''said he, as the gardener turned the horse round, and he saw it had but four,''how many has it?''
16957''Now,''said he, gathering up the reins in a bunch,''how many knots an hour can this''orse go?''
16957''Of course,''replied Mr. Sponge,''where would you have me dine?''
16957''Oh, Murry Ann( puff), that''s( wheeze) you, is it?''
16957''Oh, fiddle,''replied his wife,''you always say fox- hunters never stand upon ceremony; why should you stand upon any with him?''
16957''Oh, he''s nicely,''replied Jack, adding,''has n''t he come yet?''
16957''Oh, the ostler''ll lend you what you want,''replied Sponge, in a tone of determination, adding,''you can make shift for one night surely?''
16957''Oh-- w- h- o- y-- s''pose we say_ à © cartà ©_?''
16957''Old puff- and- blow gone?''
16957''Poorly is he?''
16957''Pray, where might you get it?''
16957''Say next week,''continued he;''or suppose you meet at the Court?''
16957''Shall I take these things away?''
16957''Shall we have a game at cards?
16957''Shall we say anything about distance?''
16957''Sir Harry at home?''
16957''Snaffle,''said he, as the portly, well- put- on personage waddled up to him;''Snaffle,''said he,''how many sound''osses have you?''
16957''Stout, hale- looking men, dressed much alike, with great broad tortoise- shell- rimmed spectacles on?''
16957''Suppose we have it on the day of the races?''
16957''Suppose you have a little of what we call laced tea, my lord-- tea with a dash of brandy in it?''
16957''Sure to be a good''un, then,''replied Sponge, with a wink, adding,''I wonder if he''d like to buy any more?''
16957''That Bob do n''t cannon?''
16957''That Wax is out of limbo?''
16957''That the Pope''s got a son?''
16957''That''s a monstrous fine ham,''observed he;''why does n''t somebody cut it?''
16957''That''s him, is it?''
16957''Then I must say you''ll dine here?''
16957''There''ll be the horse you drove yesterday; wo n''t you go to see how he is?''
16957''There''s some in my jacket pocket,''replied Sponge, nodding to where it hung in the wardrobe;''but it wo n''t do to smoke here, will it?''
16957''There, now( puff),''said he, holding up one that he thought there could be no mistake about;''who do you( wheeze) that is?''
16957''These horses have done nothing to- day,''he said;''why should n''t I send the chestnut on for to- morrow?''
16957''Thought it was Robins, the mole- catcher,''growled Jog;''what have you to do with( puff) Robins, the( wheeze) mole- catcher?''
16957''Ticket( puff), ticket( wheeze)?''
16957''To be sure I do,''replied Jack;''do n''t think I''m d-- d-- dr-- drunk, do you?''
16957''Tuesday?''
16957''Turn them out a bagman?''
16957''Was Tom Washball there?''
16957''Was my Lord Scamperdale out?''
16957''Was n''t it?''

16957''Well( puff), I s''pose( wheeze) we may as well( puff) home now?''
16957''Well, Frosty, I suppose you''ve heard what a run we had yesterday?''
16957''Well, Robert, you''ve come to the steeple- chase?''
16957''Well, Specs''( alluding to his father''s trade),''how are you?''
16957''Well, Sprag, how are you?''
16957''Well, Tom, and what shall we do to- morrow?''
16957''Well, Tom,''said Mr. Waffles, taking up the Fox''s head, as Tom came to anchor by his side,''how are you?''
16957''Well, and how often have you been flogged this half?''
16957''Well, and how often have you been flogged this half?''
16957''Well, and what d''ye( hiccup) of the weather now?''
16957''Well, and what''s the upshot of it all?''
16957''Well, but tell me,''exclaimed Mr. Sponge,''can I see the footman, or the huntsman, or the groom, or a helper, or anybody?''
16957''Well, but to whom?''
16957''Well, but what can we make of it?''
16957''Well, but what did they mean by hoping Mr. Sponge was fond of walking?''
16957''Well, but what must I do with all these little( hiccup) creatures?''
16957''Well, but what must we do with these little( hiccup)?''
16957''Well, but what''s the matter?--what is it all about?''
16957''Well, but where''s the( hiccup) man to be put?''
16957''Well, but will you go and call on Mr. Sponge, dear?''
16957''Well, but you can tell me where to find a sheet of paper, surely?''
16957''Well, my lady, and how are you?''
16957''Well, now,''said he, seating himself comfortably in it,''let''s see where did we go first?
16957''Well, old Sivin- Pund- Ten, how goes it?''
16957''Well, old boy''growled he, turning over as soon as he saw who it was,''what are you up to?''
16957''Well, old boy, and how are you?''
16957''Well, then, what else do you know?''
16957''Well, then, what_ will_ you do?''
16957''Well, then, will you speculate on him yourself for the buss- masters?''
16957''Well, two fours-- twice four''s eight, eh?
16957''Well, was his dad dead?''
16957''Well, we''ll see,''said Jawleyford, adding,''I suppose either of the girls will be glad enough to take him?''
16957''Well, what said he?''
16957''Well, who else had you out, then?''
16957''Well,''said Sponge to Spraggon, between the whiffs of a cigar, as they rode together;''it was n''t so bad, was it?''
16957''Well?''
16957''What are they?''
