39588I wonder how many dead this war will ac count for?
39588I wonder what is passing through their brains?
39588If only every fifth man is left on the field, and if another fifth comes home invalided... what will its harvest amount to then?
39588Is n''t our native land worth more than this scrap of life?

39588Or are both lies--"both deliberate conscious untruths, written under the inspiration of a social democratic lawyer?"

39588Why are you blinking at me with your bleared eyes, my brother?
39588Why do I, all of a sudden, begin to shudder?
39588Why do n''t I pull it through?
39588Will they come on again?
39588Wonder how many clips of cartridges am I going to get through?
39588Wonder how the little chap is getting on?
39588Wonder if any one else in barracks is lying wide- eyed and staring into the future?
39588Wonder if it''ll last much longer?
39588Wonder if she has chanced to be thinking of me?
39588Wonder if there will be a bull''s- eye among them?

60222And now that the lifeless hand of the President had dropped the real sceptre, whose hand was to take it up?
60222And what should she give in exchange for that submissive tender love of wife for husband which the Sacred Book declared to be the law of God?

60222But how''s the worm going to manage it?"
60222But now?
60222But what can we do without a leader in Parliament?
60222But where was the leader of men?
60222Call these creatures men?
60222Come, man, what the deuce are you driving at?"
60222Could these things be reconciled in the light of the revelation that had come to her?
60222Did not a certain abbot of Iona go to Ireland to organise a movement against the custom of summoning women to join the standard and fight the enemy?
60222Did not the crime of which she was convicted strike at the root of the religion of the people?
60222Did you ever read how Balmerino faced the headsman after Culloden?
60222Do you suppose we want an army of Amazons armed with lethal weapons to keep in order?"
60222Does n''t that suggest an opportunity?"
60222God in heaven, could it be truly that?
60222Great God in heaven!--men call upon the name of God even when they profess to be agnostics-- could she be going to die?
60222Had any confidential information been received from certain oriental visitors who, from time to time, had come to this country?
60222Had he not sought by magical aid to soar aloft like the eagle, only to fall and be dashed to pieces on Minerva''s altar?
60222He glanced at Wilton:"Ready?"
60222He swore irritably, and then roared an inquiry:"Are you there?
60222History has illustrated that over and over again?"
60222How are we going to regulate international commerce?
60222How shall he face the unfathomable whirlpool that yawns for the frail boat in which he is compelled to trust?
60222I have read it, or did I dream it?"
60222If he did not look out he would go there and get killed himself presently, and that would be a nice thing to happen, would n''t it?
60222If one had repeated to most of these globe- trotters Gloster''s question in King Lear:"Dost thou know Dover?"
60222In love with whom?
60222Is it true he is still alive?"
60222Is n''t nearly every man, in both services?
60222It was her own voice that died away, and what was this mysterious sound-- rising from the valley with the mists that melted at the break of day?
60222Linton, raising his own cap, turned towards the illustrious passenger:"Shall we start, sir?"
60222Or could it be that they were running short of ammunition?
60222She sighed and looked at him wistfully, then said appealingly:"You will come upstairs?"
60222THE COUP D''ÉTAT?
60222The voice that spake to the woman in the garden seemed to be speaking still:"What is this that thou hast done?"
60222Then came another problem-- what was the right sort of motor?
60222Then once more the Vice- President vehemently appealed to the audience:"Who will join the Amazons of England?"
60222Then the Vice- President, in tones now piercing and tremulous, cried out:"Who will join the First Regiment of the Amazons of England?"
60222There is something I can do for you in your trouble?"
60222To what purpose do we expose our lives in war?
60222To- morrow we''ll be just the same as ever, wo n''t we?
60222Was it not an American, not an English, Admiral who had come to the rescue of the British colony?
60222Was it the word"Forgive?"
60222Was not blood thicker than water?
60222Was the reign of woman to be inaugurated on new and bolder lines; or would man, in the nick of time, re- assert himself?
60222Were not the American people our own kith and kin?
60222Were they in for a lecture on geography?
60222What about imports and exports?
60222What could it mean?
60222What did Wilton want?
60222What did he say?
60222What did these things betoken?
60222What do you think?
60222What is his good, and what is his evil?
60222What is man in presence of the waterspout that towers from the ocean to the clouds?
60222What is your advice?"
60222What mad idea was this?
60222What might not Lady Cat accomplish in the temporary absence of the President?
60222What more natural than that most of the passengers should land and fill up the time by the inspection of the points of interest in the town?
60222What of the Empire?
60222What part of the coast is that down there?"
60222What was he doing now?
60222What was he trying to do?
60222What was that silent log- like thing the waves were rolling yonder in the semi- darkness?
60222What was there to be afraid of?
60222What was this?
60222What would it profit a woman to force herself out of her ordained place in the plan of creation?
60222What''s the best air- ship that ever was built against a wind like this?"
60222What''s this I hear about the Fort?"
60222What, he vaguely wondered, was Wilton doing now?
60222What, then, would be likely to limit her revenge or curb her ambition if an opportunity like the present could be made to serve her purpose?
60222What?
60222Where''s my book?"
60222Which mine would be exploded first?
60222Which shall it be?"
60222Who are you?"
60222Who can limit the life of the ego-- fix its beginning, or appoint its end?"
60222Who could possibly credit such a tale?
60222Who is it?"
60222Who wants an air- ship calling for his parlour- maid at the attic window?
60222Who wants thieves sailing up to his balcony?
60222Who would dare to deny that women were as brave as men?
60222Why did you do it?"
60222Why do we defend our wives and sisters from a foreign enemy if Rome has tyrants who incite the people to violent and vindictive acts?
60222Why had he not used it before?
60222Why not?"
60222Why not?"
60222Why should you help me, unless I tell you all, everything-- everything, fully and frankly?
60222Why was he sawing frantically, convulsively, at that tightened cord?
60222Will you read this?"
60222Would it be his turn next?
60222You shall be very nice, and I shall forgive you, because, after all, I do love you, do n''t I?"
60222and suppose, after all, poor Renshaw is dead?"
60222exclaimed Herrick, springing to his feet,"do n''t you see one over yonder?"
60222exclaimed the General,"were Thackeray and Dickens prejudiced?
60222is that the_ Bladud_?"
60222she asked, abruptly,"do you think it possible that in some former state of being you and I or others can have met before?"
60222still the gods?"
60222what was the matter?
27860''And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar?... 27860 ''But is n''t Duty a rather early Victorian sort of business, and out of date, anyhow?''
27860''Taint true, Bill, is it?
27860Ah me, Dick, where, where is their British reserve? 27860 And he feels that the people must be stirred into seeing that and acting on it?"
27860And now that you are here?
27860And now?
27860And then?
27860And what does John Crondall think of the outlook?
27860And where do I come in?
27860And you think you can live your own life with Woodthrop?
27860And you?
27860But can the thing be done? 27860 But how about the Monroe Doctrine?"
27860But now, of course, I know---- But why have you never told me, Constance?
27860But perhaps you are better informed?
27860But what about my news?
27860Do you know anything about spelling?
27860Do you notice any particular change in John Crondall of late?
27860Do you remember going down Fleet Street into a wretched den, to call on the person who was assistant editor of_ The Mass_?
27860Do you remember the Disarmament Demonstration?
27860Do you?
27860Does n''t he?
27860Echo answers,''who?''
27860Eh? 27860 Forgive me, Constance,"I said,"but is there some one else who-- is there some one else?"
27860God helping us, as, if we choose aright, He surely will help us, do we choose Duty, or pleasure? 27860 How long have you been on your feet?"
27860How''s that?
27860I know they are to meet these young Canadian preachers who are so tremendously praised by the_ Standard_---- What are their names, again? 27860 I think you are a good deal attracted by my youngest girl, Mordan?"
27860Is it not pathetic,I said,"in twentieth- century England, to see such blatant attacks upon progress as that?"
27860Is the Prime Minister coming?
27860It seems to me you''ve trekked a mighty long way from_ The Mass_ office in-- how many weeks is it?
27860It''s the capital of a Christian country, is n''t it?
27860Me? 27860 Mr. Mordan, I believe?"
27860My friends, will you please pray with me?
27860Oh, is he?
27860Oh, well,I said,"it''s an extraordinary business, is n''t it?
27860Or the Patriots, simply?
27860Perhaps you have other information?
27860Rather a severe blow at our Christianity, is n''t it?
27860Rather sickening about the wind- up of the East Anglian Pageant,he said,"is n''t it?
27860Really? 27860 Really?"
27860She''s the real thing, is n''t she?
27860So you are actually going to be married, Loo?
27860So you do n''t believe it?
27860Then you take the whole thing seriously?
27860True? 27860 Wardle,"I remember saying to my journalistic friend, with absurd earnestness,"have you anything to smoke?"
27860Was it as bad even then?
27860Well, I believe it is generally admitted to be a gigantic hoax, is it not?
27860Well, I do n''t think in real life it''s the same thing that you read about in novels, do you, Dick?
27860Well, can I lend a hand?
27860Well, my dear girl, surely it''s a natural assumption, is it not?
27860Well, you heard what we had to say the other afternoon?
27860What do you think of the news?
27860What? 27860 What?
27860Who''ll you get to publish it?
27860Why not the very soul of our part, Stairs-- the essential first step toward our end? 27860 Why, Constance, whatever has bewitched you?
27860Will you all pray, please?
27860Wot price Piccadilly an''Regent Street to- night?
27860Wot price the Kaiser? 27860 Would not the Canadian preachers say we meant the same thing?"
27860Yes, it''s something like a piece of news, is it not? 27860 You believe him, sare-- zat Shermany do it?"
27860You know they have a volunteer choir of fifty voices?
27860You think we succeeded, then?
27860*****"But what of us?
27860A lofty and soaring view, you say?
27860After all, I thought, what right had this girl from South Africa to criticize me?
27860And did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
27860And do you realize who gave that man decent sanity?"
27860And how long will you be away?"
27860And is n''t it magnificent about the Navy?
27860And it seemed to me that Constance flushed slightly as she answered me:"Change?
27860And why does John Crondall want the offer declined?"
27860And, after all, why not?
27860And, piercing these snaps of laughter, one heard the curious, contradictory yapping of such sentences as:"I sye;''ow about them''ot sossiges?"
27860Are King and Country, and the future of our race and the millions who depend on us for light and guidance and protection, of less importance?
27860Are you not aware of the existence of our B---- nostrum for pauper children, or our C---- specific for juvenile emigration?
27860Being in love?"
27860But do you think they taught me anything?
27860But suppose the other nations would not agree to arbitration?"
27860But the question history puts is: Who was primarily to blame for the circumstances which led up to the tragic necessity of the firing order?
27860But what makes you think that?"
27860But what of Crondall?
27860But what of the question''s second half?
27860But who and what produced"The Destroyers"as a Government?
27860But who shall say it was entirely undeserved, or even unforeseen, by advisers whom the nation chose to ignore?
27860But why do you take it upon yourself to bring it forward in this direct manner?
27860But why not the same?
27860But would it be wise of me to allow it?"
27860But, John Crondall?"
27860But, as things have been, in our time, I''m glad this particular man did n''t remain in his native village-- aren''t you?"
27860But, now I come to think of it, why should you waste your time in talking to an old woman who can only give you echoes?
27860But----""Yes?"
27860Ca n''t you see, Dick, how hard it was for me?
27860Can the public be deluded for more than a few hours?"
27860Can you look me in the face and say you believe?"
27860Constance, do you realize how all this must strike a man who was scribbling and fiddling about disarmament a year ago?
27860Constance, you do not really want me to stop loving you?"
27860Could I?
27860Could it be that there was some one else-- some one in Africa?
27860Could it be that they had mastered England?
27860Could it really be that a thousand years of inviolability had been broken, ended, in those few wild days; ended for ever?
27860Could they dare-- here on English soil?
27860Could you strike a blow for either?
27860Did you ever regret the partnership?"
27860Did you hear of it?"
27860Did you notice anything special about the weather, or-- or that, this morning, Parson?''
27860Do n''t you see how you yourselves are being robbed?"
27860Do you know my fear?
27860Do you think it would be wise or kind of me to allow it?
27860Do you?"
27860Does any one of us ever go to church?"
27860Got a flag in your pocket, have you?
27860Has he changed?"
27860He and his like never stopped to ask"Whither?"
27860How about those''Terrible''fellows?
27860How did you decide to treat him?
27860How do we stand regarding Duty?"
27860How had I kept my vow?
27860How should my friend George Stairs hold that multitude?
27860I could not deny him, and-- that was when you came into the room-- don''t you remember-- Dick?"
27860I only said:"Yes?"
27860I see John Crondall''s hand here, do n''t you?"
27860I suppose you do love Woodthrop, do n''t you?"
27860I suppose you do n''t happen to have ever been down the Falcon Road of a Sunday morning, Parson?
27860I wonder can we get away from these men, anywhere?"
27860If you profess you love a woman, but shirk your duty by her, of what worth is such love?
27860Is Duty''out of date,''my friends?
27860Is Eternity of less importance?
27860Is God of less importance to you?
27860Is it Duty, or is it pleasure?"
27860Is n''t it splendid?
27860It''s not much of an offer, but it would keep us all together?"
27860Mr. Pierce ignored the smile, and said:"University man?"
27860No?
27860Now, as he named the parson again, I looked into the man''s face, and----"Mordan?
27860Now, what do you say-- shall we have another cigar, or go in to the ladies?"
27860Odd, is n''t it?"
27860Of what should I accuse him?
27860Oh, did n''t you know he was here again?
27860One gathers the Scotch are religious?"
27860Or will you come into the study?
27860Perhaps you have inadvertently done so much by me, through_ The Times_--a rather high and dry old institution, is n''t it?"
27860Poole- Smith?"
27860Poole- Smith?"
27860Puritanism, you say?
27860The speaker''s further words were drowned in a confused hubbub of applause, cheers, laughter, shouts of"Are we downhearted?"
27860The thing is, would you tackle it, for the sake of the cause, for a couple of hundred a year?
27860The thought accompanying that chill was this:"What can you do?
27860The waiter-- either a Swiss or a German-- asked me:"Vad you sink, sare, of ze news from ze country?"
27860Then I suppose it follows that you are in love-- h''m?"
27860Then he opened the Bible, and:"May I just read you a few verses from the Bible?"
27860Was I to fight shy of him, or set to work, as it were, in opposition to him?
27860We gazed our fill, and I only nodded when Constance murmured:"It''s worth a struggle, is n''t it?"
27860We''re a Christian people; but who knows a Christian individual?
27860Well, after a bit, I was looking over there to the church, and what d''ye think I saw, all through the pretty sunlight?
27860What I said was:"You know I am-- you know I am at your orders, do n''t you?"
27860What are you fit for?
27860What are you going to do about it?''
27860What boy''s part, even, can you take, though the roof were being burned over your mother''s head?
27860What do you think?
27860What have you done?
27860What of Constance, or Beatrice?
27860What of you, and I, my friends?
27860What right had I to suspect or resent?
27860What would our Navy be doing?"
27860Where was George Stairs now?
27860Who is there in this office that believes?"
27860Why did she love him?
27860Why do n''t yer run''ome ter yer ma, eh?"
27860Why not hurry on to John Crondall''s place, and join them there?
27860Why not the very essence and soul of our part, Stairs?"
27860Why should England continue to waste its time and energy over pulling both ways in every little job its legislators have to tackle?
27860Why the deuce do n''t the Government see to it?
27860Why, do you know----?"
27860Why, no; not that exactly, for what remained of real and vital moment in her mind, to the exclusion of all serious interest in humanity?
27860Why, not Dick Mordan, of Tarn Regis?"
27860Why-- when?"
27860Will ye be men-- or helots and outcasts?
27860Will you take Constance home?
27860Without Thee, what is all the morning''s wealth?
27860Wo n''t you sit down?
27860Would you care to take that?"
27860You have poured out for your weekly wage so many thousands of words; words meaning-- what?
27860You remember our talks?
27860You remember that meeting of your father''s, when you saved him from the wrath of Vrow Bischoff?
27860You remember that passage in Ecclesiastes--''The conclusion of the whole matter''?"
27860You''re a blue- blooded Tory; an Imperialist, are n''t you?"
27860You, your own self; what do_ you_ think about it?
27860be still; Is human love the growth of human will?
27860or"Why?"
27860that for nine long years we were to be encircled by their garrisons?
27434''Did you hear that, John?'' 27434 And are not all worthy?"
27434And do you mean to say that Sing has no taste at all, simply because he admires me?
27434And do you really mean to detain us by force?
27434And how did it happen, Mr. Barton, that you came to settle away up in this barren wilderness?
27434And how do you do, Mrs. Barton? 27434 And how is the view from the observatory?"
27434And is it a natural, healthful sleep?
27434And what is that?
27434And what is to become of them if they can not get through?
27434And what was I just talking about?
27434And who is to sail this great balloon, or air- ship?
27434And would each of them have prescribed the remedy you mentioned?
27434And you would n''t mind seeing Greenland''s icy mountains, about which you have sung so many years, would you, girls?
27434Are you entirely recovered?
27434Are you taking medicine now, sir?
27434But do n''t you find the winters very long and terribly cold?
27434But how can we sing with our mouths all wrapped up in furs? 27434 But how did the men of your school do, Doctor?"
27434But my dear woman,cried he, jumping from his chair again,"do n''t you see the utter impossibility of your going on so hard and perilous a voyage?
27434But what is the condition, Maggie?
27434But why? 27434 But, Count Icanovich, do you not see how impossible it is for us to remain?"
27434But, Doctor, you believe that the world is getting better, do you not?
27434But, really now, Mrs. Jones, how could you possibly express the idea better?
27434Ca n''t we use the windlass?
27434Can not he be brought to consent to remain a few weeks?
27434Can we do nothing for them?
27434Could deliverance have come to your house and mine more appropriately than from the skies, and in yonder silver chariot?
27434Could not this warning which you received be accounted for from a psychological standpoint?
27434Did anyone note the time that we arrived here?
27434Did n''t I tell you, Mattie, that he was an incorrigible case?
27434Did they do any better?
27434Did you say that we were to stay here a few months?
27434Do you feel better quiet, or when moving about?
27434Do you feel no fear, Maggie?
27434Do you hear that, mamma?
27434Do you really think so?
27434Do you see that high range of hills just ahead?
27434Excuse me, Doctor, but how is one to know whether his communications be from a good or evil spirit? 27434 Have n''t you said over and over in my presence that this was simply a beautiful picnic trip and perfectly safe?"
27434Have you no special power or authority in this section?
27434How are you getting along, girls?
27434How can you leave your business or get any time to do anything in this undertaking?
27434How do you intend to manage that business, Doctor?
27434How does the temperature in the globe keep up?
27434How is she now, Doctor?
27434How long is this delay likely to last?
27434How long will that be, Doctor?
27434How many physicians of your school are there in America?
27434How shall we manage to safely anchor in this awful wind, Doctor?
27434I suppose, Doctor, that you were in some of the great battles?
27434I would like to ask you, Dr. Jones,said the Professor,"if you ever encountered, or had any experience with what you were positive was supernatural?"
27434In what way?
27434Is it absolutely necessary that we take Silver Cloud to Washington?
27434Is n''t it a pity that you can not stay with that lovely girl until she is out of danger?
27434Is n''t that a settlement I see ahead a few miles?
27434Is n''t that poetic and appropriate? 27434 Is your sciatica of long standing?"
27434Maggie, do you know that I have no idea of what to do with all this money? 27434 Shall we rest a few hours, or go on with our celebration, and immediately sail for home-- or wherever the wind may carry us?"
27434Shall we sail to- day, or accept further hospitalities of New York?
27434Suppose you had an opportunity, by what method would you prove this system to be what you claim for it?
27434To Washington? 27434 Tut, tut,"said the Doctor, seeing the tears streaming down the faces of the four women,"what sort of business is this?
27434Well, Doctor, admitting all you say, what do you suggest as the remedy? 27434 Well, Doctor, you do n''t suppose that anyone will ever get there and back alive, do you?"
27434Well, Maggie, what do you think of it? 27434 Well, Marsh, have you anything more to show us to- night?"
27434Well, and where is your shaft that you intend looking up through?
27434Well, as the Dutch captain said when the harbor inspector asked''Who is the captain of this ship?'' 27434 Well, have you not found it a very monotonous existence?"
27434Well, there is something in the world that you think pretty, is n''t there Sing?
27434Well, wo n''t they be a sensation, when we show them in Washington?
27434Were you in that battle, Doctor?
27434What an old Bluebeard of a husband you have, have n''t you?
27434What do you do to pass the time?
27434What do you mean, Doctor?
27434What do you mean?
27434What do you say, Doctor?
27434What fort is this?
27434What game do you have in this country?
27434What great body of water is that I see ahead?
27434What if she were under your immediate supervision for a certain length of time?
27434What is it?
27434What is that fearful and wonderful silver ball or globe in which you dropped from the skies among us?
27434What is the matter with your wife?
27434What is the meaning of the word''Labrador,''Professor?
27434What is the next thing on the program, Doctor?
27434What is the temperature now?
27434What park is that?
27434What was that wire, and how came it there?
27434What will you heat it with, and how long do you suppose it will be before your globe returns to the earth?
27434What''s up now, Doctor? 27434 Where are we now, Doctor?"
27434Where are you bound?
27434Will they never learn?
27434Will you accompany us to the ship?
27434Will you kindly tell us your object, and by what authority you dare to delay a United States''expedition? 27434 Would you accept it from me as a present?"
27434''And what was that particular?''
27434''Beautiful, is n''t it?''
27434''Can it be possible,''said I,''that Hans told the truth?''
27434''Well, Joan, how do you like Gunpowder tea?''
27434''What for you adtmire me?''
27434''What is the matter, Johnnie?''
27434After the departure of the two men Mrs. Jones said:"Are you seriously thinking of going into this wild scheme, Doctor?"
27434Also: Are they not ministering spirits sent forth to minister to them who shall be heirs of salvation?
27434And is arsenic the remedy for all cases of cancer?"
27434And let me inquire, my dear boy, who is responsible for this wholesale slaughter of a people whose only crime is that of being nominal Christians?
27434And were there ever so many Bibles and tracts and other religious matter published and disseminated as at the present time?
27434And what could be more appropriate?
27434And why should I not be?
27434And why should n''t they?
27434Anyone hurt or seriously sick?"
27434Are there not men in Russia who practice your system, and who could fill your place satisfactorily in this case?"
27434At what time should we arrive there at our present speed?"
27434Away to the left is Lake St. Clair, is n''t it?"''
27434Barton?"
27434Barton?"
27434But how can you do anything with it, and what good would it do you if you could?"
27434But what do you say as to the safety of life and property at this time, compared with any other age of the world?"
27434But what will it be when suspended in the air, thousands of feet above terra firma?
27434Can not something be done to bring it before the public?"
27434Denison looked at the flushed face and glittering eyes of the Doctor, moved uneasily in his chair, and said:"What''s up, Doctor?
27434Did you all notice how the Princess, Feodora, and a lot more of those Russian ladies cried over him when we were parting from them?"
27434Did you ever see anything so absolutely beautiful?"
27434Do I understand you to advise me to detain you by force?"
27434Do n''t you know of a female acquaintance that you would like to have accompany you?"
27434Do n''t you see how perfectly feasible and beautiful it is?"
27434Do you begin to catch on?"
27434Do you catch the idea?"
27434Do you happen to think of any more''insuperable''obstacles, my dear sir?"
27434Do you know, man, that I have had the best advice in Europe, and have spent a fortune seeking relief?"
27434Do you not know that our Government will demand heavy reprisals for this action upon your part?"
27434Do you really think you can cure her?"
27434Do you see it yonder?"
27434Do you see on the north side of the town those brick and stone buildings in a campus?
27434Do you speak English?"
27434Do you suppose that I have sat here all these months listening to you men talk of this scheme without becoming a convert to your theories?
27434Dondt you see?''
27434Dr. Jones is exceedingly kind, but do you really think that he has any hopes of curing her?"
27434Dr. Jones stepped briskly up to Count Icanovich and said with all the sharpness he could command:"What is the meaning of this, Sir Count?
27434Getting off?"
27434Grandmother brought the box of tea out before him and said:''Pete, what is the matter with this tea?
27434He was shown the photograph, and Mattie said:"You sabe that picture, Sing?"
27434How can I better spend a year or so than in the promotion of this idea?
27434How did it come out on your Belladonna solution?"
27434How does the chorus of that old hymn run?
27434How nearly am I right?"
27434How, for instance, do you know whether your communication which warned you of the wire across the trail was from an angel or devil?"
27434I wish to ask, then, if it might not have been the spirit of a departed friend who thus warned you?"
27434I''m catching your spirit of enthusiasm, Doctor, and what does a man amount to without enthusiasm in this age of the world?"
27434In vain have our utilitarians cried,"Qui bono?"
27434Is n''t it a pity in this age of the world, to shut off from the children any one of the branches of science or learning?"
27434Is n''t she, gentlemen?"
27434Is not that a ship I see yonder?
27434Is the World Growing Better?
27434Is the undying fame that would attach to such a deed to be lightly esteemed?
27434Is the world growing better?
27434Is your science a mystic or esoteric affair, and are you the only one in possession of the secret?"
27434Now shall we remain here, or meet you at the globe?"
27434Now, what shall be our first move?"
27434Now, you would likee a pretty oil painting, big picture, allee samee that?"
27434See?"
27434Shall we return to the castle?"
27434She gave a hand to each of her coadjutors, and turning to Dr. Jones, said:"Do n''t you see what a splendid lobbyist I am, Doctor?
27434Should I ever see mother, brothers and sisters, home and friends again?"
27434Should I live through the morrow?
27434The Count shook hands with them very cordially, and asked,"How many are there of your party?"
27434This psalm begins by asking:''Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
27434Vot more do you want?''
27434Was there ever a time when life and property were so protected as now?
27434What can be more inspiring and grand?
27434What did they do that did not please you?"
27434What do you all say?"
27434What do you all say?"
27434What do you all think of that proposition?"
27434What do you mean?
27434What do you mean?"
27434What have you given me?
27434What is it?"
27434What is the natural inference?
27434What is this black stuff mixed up with the tea?''
27434What particular variety of tea is it?"
27434What right have you to do so?"
27434What shall be our first move?"
27434What wonder that their hearts are light and merry?
27434What would my days and nights be, even though you went and returned in all the safety you anticipate?
27434What would you have us do now?"
27434What''s the matter?"
27434Where is he?"
27434Who will mount with me to the observatory?"
27434Why have you padlocked these cables?"
27434Why should n''t I detest the whole lying, infernal business?"
27434Why should n''t they be plump and pure and clean, inside and out?
27434Why should she not?"
27434Will you go up to her now, sir?"
27434Will you go up?"
27434You understand, do you not?"
27434You would not undertake to say that this fearful disease is curable, would you?"
27434cried Dr. Jones,"you are getting into my way of thinking on that subject, are you?"
27434cried Will,"what do you suppose the Count has done?"
27434cried the Doctor,"why did not I think of that?"
27434cried the younger,"do n''t you know us?"
27434do n''t you feel awfully frightened away up there, thousands of feet from the earth?"
27434is it possible that you are our friends from Constance House?
27434is this my little Bertha?
27434not care for beautiful oil painting?"
27434said Barton,"Must I not use the disinfectant as I have been doing?"
27434she fairly screamed,''What horrible stuff is this?
27434where is the 87th Indiana?"
27434who shall dwell in thy holy hill?''
27434would you really part with it?"
38028After all, are not all my secrets here? 38028 Ah, what is that?"
38028Ah, yes; his daughter-- she is the second Marie Antoinette, is n''t she?
38028Ah,said Adelaide, with a little catch in her voice,"from him; and has he----""Succeeded?
38028America-- wonderful? 38028 And Russia?"
38028And are you still decided to fight, gentlemen?
38028And if you had it, what would you do with it?
38028And may we too?
38028And now, captain, do n''t you think that a wee peg would do you good? 38028 And now, suppose we go and join these good people on the lawn?"
38028And what is it to be?
38028And what is that? 38028 And what might that be, Lady Olive?"
38028And what might that be, Miss Fire- eater?
38028And what might that mean in your dictionary of kisses?
38028And what would have been the effect of that?
38028And what''s that, poppa?
38028And why not?
38028But how can that be?
38028But how?
38028But look here,said Austin;"could n''t you paralyse''em?
38028But why not war now?
38028But, great sakes, Chrysie, you do n''t mean the marquise is going to poison us?
38028But, my dear Shafto,said the earl,"that would be a most flagrant act of piracy on the high seas, would n''t it?"
38028Can you tell me, Captain, whether the gentleman who calls himself the French Ambassador has honoured us with his presence to- night?
38028Discovered what? 38028 Do n''t you think you ought to be in bed, Chrysie, instead of sitting there smoking a cigarette, and-- Why, what''s the matter with you, girl?"
38028Do n''t you think you''d better turn in for a bit? 38028 Do n''t you wish you had that revolver of hers?"
38028Do you really mean to say that that is actually feasible? 38028 Have I no eyes in my head?
38028Have I not given up everything, even, as some would say, sacrificed honour itself, to help you to win back that which is your own by every right? 38028 He has found me out, and I have lost him; and when you have lost a man, why should he go on living?
38028Hello, what''s that? 38028 I wonder who has succeeded beyond his best expectations?
38028Is that really so, Lamson? 38028 Is there any other way that a sixteen- knotter could overtake a twenty- knotter?
38028Lady Olive, you will send the signal to the other rooms? 38028 May I come up on to the sacred territory?"
38028My dear Chrysie, what are you talking about? 38028 My dear Chrysie,"said Lady Olive,"what are you carrying that terrible- looking weapon for?
38028My dear Victor,she replied, with a bewildering smile,"have I not already told you that you may hope for everything?
38028My dear marquise,said Sophie,"do you not think that you are letting your feelings run away with you?
38028News? 38028 Oh, captain,"he said,"that you?
38028Quartermaster, who is on duty in the engine- room?
38028Say, poppa,she went on, leaning over the front of the bridge,"I reckon that shot broke the law of nations, did n''t it?
38028Shall I write it,she murmured, in a soft, low tone,"or shall I keep it hidden where no human eyes can read it?
38028Since our fathers are such old and good friends, why should we not be new friends and good ones too?
38028The Pole?
38028Then you think we''ll have to fight for it?
38028There is, I believe,said Sophie, putting her arms on the table,"a little apartment leading out of your own bureau at the Ministry of War?"
38028Was n''t it your Lord Beaconsfield who said that the most dreary duty of humanity was explanation? 38028 Was not the same song sung in honour of the Grand Monarque by the ladies of Versailles?
38028Well, Shafto,said Lady Olive, as the two men took their caps off,"and what is all this mystery about?
38028Well, if it''s as bad as that,said her father,"why not warn the viscount?"
38028Well, papa,said Sophie,"have you any news?
38028What about that reserve-- that territory, you know, that I was supposed to have an option on in Buffalo?
38028What can it mean, papa?
38028What do you say, Victor? 38028 What friend?"
38028What is that you say?--disabled? 38028 What on earth do you mean, Chrysie?"
38028What thing?
38028What''s the matter, M''Niven?
38028What''s the matter? 38028 What''s the use of world masters and world mistresses trying to hide things from each other?
38028What,exclaimed Adelaide, taken off her guard for a moment,"do you mean that, Sophie?
38028Who knows?
38028Why do you want to get ill over a thing like that, man? 38028 Why should the Evening envy the Morning, or the Lily be jealous of the Rose?"
38028Why, my dear chap, what''s up? 38028 Why, what do you mean, my dear Vandel?"
38028Will you make it five miles, captain?
38028Wonderful, my dear Victor? 38028 Yes, I have,"he replied;"and the greatest of good news; you know from whom?"
38028A sudden blast of wind struck their faces, hands instinctively went up to heads, and Lady Olive exclaimed:"What is that, Shafto?
38028Ah, well, I wonder what will happen in Paris?
38028Ah, well, it is fate, and who shall question that?
38028Ah, who is this?"
38028And Paris-- why should his success take him to Paris?
38028And might I ask why?
38028And now, I suppose, you''ve got some coffee ready for us down in the saloon?"
38028And now, may I ask your lordship one question?"
38028And that?"
38028And the prince?"
38028And then, with a sudden drop in the tone,"You''re not ill, old man, are you?"
38028And who could blame him, after all?
38028And yet, are not all things possible?
38028Any news?"
38028Any-- do you wish to speak to me?
38028Anyhow, it was addressed to Count Valdemar,_ Yacht Vlodoya_, Cherbourg; and Cherbourg''s not on the way to the Baltic, is it?
38028Are you badly hurt?"
38028Are you going to be all the morning getting through that tin box?
38028Are you quite serious?"
38028Are you quite sure of him?"
38028Are you still of opinion that the scheme that I sketched out is feasible?"
38028But what can I do till we have either succeeded or failed?
38028But what was this?
38028But who can ever read this?"
38028But you will keep me a waltz or two, wo n''t you?
38028CHAPTER II"And so, Monsieur le Ministre, I am to take that as your final word?
38028CHAPTER XVII"And so, Ma''m''selle la Comtesse, it comes to this: you would have me reward hospitality with treachery?
38028Ca n''t you see what she''s doing every hour and day of her life?
38028Can you not leave us in peace?"
38028Chrysie looked up and said, with a snap of her eyes:"What other friend than M''am''selle Felice''s mistress-- the noble Adelaide de Condé?"
38028Did any human law compel him to share it with anyone?
38028Do n''t you see that Frenchwoman''s bewitched him?
38028Do n''t you see there are millions in it if it''s true, and of course you''ll come in on the ground- floor?
38028Do n''t you see, we''re going to have that punch just a few hours before we get the engines right and that other boat is to catch us?"
38028Do n''t you think, Mr Vandel, that we might slow round and give them one from that gun of yours?"
38028Do you know why your lamented father the prince was such a welcome guest at the court of Petersburg?"
38028Do you not think so, papa?"
38028Do you see what I mean now?"
38028Does n''t it strike you as just a bit curious that they should be going north up Davis Straits just when our Storage Works are getting finished?
38028Does n''t look very dangerous, does it?
38028Does that mean what you call full speed?"
38028England and America can be rendered helpless if we once seize the works, and Russia can, I presume, be trusted?"
38028Everything would come out; the whole conspiracy, and her own share in it; and then, what would he think of her?
38028For instance, if the tables had been turned, should we have treated them as they have treated us?
38028Go him a few pounds of Vandelite better?"
38028Had Felice told about the telegram, under the temptation of such a bribe as these millionaires could offer?
38028Had Sophie''s scheme been betrayed?
38028Had Williams wavered at the last, and confessed?
38028Have you been able to persuade them to surrender to the expedition?"
38028He began it, did n''t he?
38028He had pledged his honour, and could tell no one-- but even if he could, what then?
38028Hello, what''s this?
38028How can I help you, when these people already have the secret in their hands, and have been spending their millions for weeks?
38028How could any man with eyes in his head and blood in his heart resist her?
38028How could you do it without betraying yourself?
38028How do we know what means of defence they''ve got?
38028How is the telegram signed?"
38028How many millions could buy that?
38028How soon can you get us across the Atlantic, Hardress?"
38028How will that do?"
38028How would it be if you raised his bluff?
38028How would you like to be master of the world?"
38028I guess I could promise you both a pretty interesting time from Niagara right away to----""Suppose we say the Magnetic Pole?"
38028I reckon that would be quite an interesting little surprise- party, would n''t it?"
38028I suppose you have quite decided to take the trip across the Atlantic on the_ Nadine_?"
38028I suppose you take a great interest in weapons of warfare?"
38028I wish you''d tell Evans to bring me a brandy- and- soda, will you?"
38028I wonder what the fair Sophie would give to know what you and I know, Adelaide?"
38028I wonder what they''ll feel like when we turn the disintegrators on them?"
38028If I can not sit on the throne of the Bourbons, why should I not be empress- consort on the throne of a world- wide empire?--why not?
38028If it is, you see this?"
38028Is it anything to do with that infernal tin box?"
38028Is it not the unexpected that comes to pass?
38028Is n''t that so, poppa?"
38028Is that good American, Chrysie?"
38028Is that your idea?"
38028It has n''t suddenly come on to blow, has it?"
38028It is the same!--what miracle has happened?
38028It seems ridiculous, does n''t it?
38028It was a terrible end for two such beautiful women, was it not, admiral?
38028May I ask for an outline of it?
38028Mr Jackson, will you kindly lower away the quarter- boat?"
38028No, there may be time even yet; I have risked much, and I will risk more; and you, Adelaide, will you help me?
38028Now, do you think I was right in doing a very improper thing-- which, of course, it was?"
38028Now, how''s a sixteen- knot boat going to catch a twenty- knot yacht anywhere between Southampton and Halifax?"
38028Now, what does haste mean?
38028Now, where''s the spark that''s going to connect them?"
38028Of this nation of snobs and shopkeepers, ruled by a combination of stockbrokers, heavy- witted bourgeoisie and political adventurers?
38028Olive, you will make the coffee later on, wo n''t you, in that patent concern of yours?
38028Poor chap, what can have made such a mess of him as that?"
38028Poppa, why do n''t you let''em have just one little hint that we''re not quite harmless?"
38028Seems to me the question is now, what we''re going to do if she does?"
38028Shall we ever have another like it?
38028She had disgraced herself in the eyes of the man she would have sold her soul to get, and now-- well, what did it matter?
38028She rose slowly from her chair, and said, almost falteringly:"What do you mean, Victor?
38028Should he fling the priceless papers, the warrant for the mastery of the world, into the sea and be done with it?
38028Should he keep them in his pocket and make untold millions out of the power that they placed in his hands?
38028Simple, is n''t it?
38028Suppose,"he went on, with something like a shudder,"a shell bursts in the absorber, where are we?
38028Surely it is not always usual to ask the enemy within the gates?"
38028Surely, Adelaide, for the sake of all that is past and all that may be to come you will not say no?"
38028That will be somewhat of an experience for you, marquise, will it not?"
38028That''s a pretty- looking weapon, is n''t it?"
38028That''s so; is n''t it, Olive?
38028The corpse?"
38028The last word is''Dépêchez,''and that''s French for''Make haste,''is n''t it?
38028Then she took up her pen again, and wrote:"I wonder if there is another woman?"
38028There is no hope of repairs, I suppose?"
38028To- morrow-- nay, within six hours, it would be war to the death, Why not begin now, as Sophie had whispered?
38028Twenty knots!--that''s about twenty- four miles an hour, is n''t it, a little bit faster than a South- Eastern express train?"
38028Was Fate itself ever more unkind to man or woman?
38028Was it not his by right?
38028Was that a reason why these guns were being mounted?--and what would happen if the_ Nadine_ met force with force, and won?
38028Was there ever a more cruel irony of Fate than this?
38028Well, now, doctor, are we ready?"
38028Were even the guns and their machinery affected by this strange languor which had been afflicting both men and animals for the last day or two?
38028What are these people going to do?
38028What are we to do?
38028What better means could we have than the possession of the heads of the concern?
38028What can I do now, left alone as I am?"
38028What can they suspect?"
38028What can we do against them?"
38028What could I think?"
38028What could he say or do?
38028What did it mean?
38028What do I owe it?"
38028What do all the society papers say about her?
38028What do they know?
38028What do you say poppa?
38028What do you say, Doctor?
38028What do you say, Monsieur le President?"
38028What do you say, countess?"
38028What do you say, gentlemen?"
38028What do you think, viscount?"
38028What do you think, viscount?"
38028What do you wish us to do?"
38028What has happened to Adelaide?--has she turned traitor too?
38028What is it?"
38028What more would you?
38028What on earth can he be doing at Cherbourg?"
38028What was he to do?
38028What''s happening to Mr Williams just now captain?"
38028What''s the matter with changing the subject?
38028What''s the matter?"
38028What''s the trouble?"
38028What''s your idea, Mr Vandel?"
38028What''s your idea, marquise, about these two Polar expeditions being started off this year?
38028When are you going to tell me this wonderful news of yours?"
38028When they got out into the street Lady Olive said, a trifle frigidly:"My dear Chrysie, do n''t you think you did a rather improper thing in there?
38028Whence had come this blow which had struck him down so swiftly?
38028Which Pole?"
38028Why do n''t you call him Shafto?"
38028Why not?
38028Why not?
38028Why not?
38028Why, for instance, could you not have performed the miracle that you have just been telling me about in one of our laboratories in Paris?
38028Why, what''s the matter?"
38028Will you allow me to give you and also your poor men who have been working so hard at the broken engine a little treat?"
38028Will you keep the compact which your father made with mine?"
38028You have n''t tried to run me much, have you?"
38028You said that you wanted my help-- how?
38028and is not this the only friend and confidant that I have now left to me?
38028and may I hope also for supper?"
38028asked his lordship;"you''ve not heard anything unpleasant, have you?"
38028he cried, springing to his feet;"you know that, and from whom?"
38028he muttered,"is that me?"
38028he said to the admirals a few moments later, when the car was rattling over the narrow rails,"and, if so, what are you going to do with this thing?"
38028is it not worth fighting for?"
38028or the old France-- my France-- the France of my ancestors, as it was in the days when the great Louis said:''L''état c''est moi''?
38028she echoed, drawing herself up, and looking at him with a half- angry glint in her eyes,"of what France?
19498A German?
19498A prisoner?
19498After all, why should they?
19498Am I wounded?
19498An Englishman?
19498An Englishman?
19498And if it was not genuine?
19498And now you want to learn paperhanging?
19498And the enemy?
19498And the_ Georgia_ a little earlier,said Winstanley;"but where are we?
19498And what has become of the rest of our squadron?
19498And when is the local train from Umatilla expected?
19498And with whom, if I may be allowed to ask?
19498And you mean to say that thousands----?
19498Any cable news, Parrington?
19498Are the signal- halyards still clear?
19498Are you quite sure of it? 19498 As early as this, Harryman?"
19498Bad? 19498 Be quiet, damn you, why do n''t you shut up?"
19498But could n''t we make it a go after all?
19498But seriously, Harryman,began the colonel again,"can you give any explanation?"
19498But the enemy, Longstreet, where''s the enemy? 19498 But what about our workmen?"
19498But where can they come from?
19498Can I help you in any way?
19498Can that be another of their devilish tricks?
19498Can we enter the harbor by night?
19498Can you make out which ship the first one is?
19498Can you suggest anything else?
19498Commercial mastery?
19498Cost Harryman, on board the_ Monadnock_, his life?
19498Dick, where''s Forster?
19498Did n''t they have guns?
19498Did n''t you hear something, captain?
19498Did you see that, Harry?
19498Did you send for me, father?
19498Do n''t you know, Mr. Allen, that there are naval maneuvers going on to- day and that Admiral Perry is to surprise San Francisco with the fleet?
19498Do you believe in the seaquake?
19498Do you hear it?
19498Do you know what I''m going to do, James Harrison?
19498Do you mean to imply that the Japanese are surprising us?
19498Do you think all this is on account of the Philippines?
19498Do you want me to procure hundreds, thousands like it for you?
19498Does it have to be that?
19498Exactly,rang out a voice;"but how do you account for that?"
19498For mother?
19498Forster,said Dick suddenly,"what''s that in front of us?
19498Forty kasch? 19498 Halloo, Taney,"called out an acquaintance,"where are you going?"
19498Halloo, when are we going on?
19498Harry,he called presently,"does n''t it seem as though the bells were ringing?
19498Harry,he said, looking up,"do you remember the speech I made at Harvard years ago on the unity of nations?
19498Harryman,said Colonel McCabe seriously,"do you think there is danger?
19498Have we really?
19498Have you any relatives in the American Navy?
19498Have you read the orders for mobilization?
19498He''s a spy, too, I suppose?
19498How about her?
19498How did you get here?
19498How do you mean?
19498How many of them are there?
19498How much money will the great stranger pay for a meal for his illustrious stomach in Si Wafang''s miserable hut? 19498 How much?"
19498How much?
19498How so?
19498How so?
19498How''s that?
19498I wonder why we have a wireless apparatus on board?
19498In time of war?
19498Indeed?
19498Indeed?
19498Is n''t it awful, this sudden attack on our country? 19498 It was pretty bad, I suppose?"
19498Longstreet, did it all really happen, or have I been dreaming?
19498Longstreet, nursed in San Francisco, is that what the Jap said? 19498 Longstreet,"he began again more urgently,"tell me, is it all over, can it be true?"
19498May I see your papers?
19498Mines, my dear sir, mines? 19498 Mother,"said one of her daughters,"do you hear it?
19498Naval maneuvers?
19498No news of the fleet, either?
19498No, it''s not the_ Iowa_,corroborated the captain,"but two funnels... what ship can it be...?"
19498No, where?
19498No? 19498 Now, then, Mr. Higgins,"he called, wiping the water from his eyes and mustache,"where is the yellow fleet?"
19498Of course, Singley, what is it?
19498Parrington, are you coming? 19498 Perhaps,"replied the Admiral, rather sharply,"but will you tell me what for?
19498Perry?
19498Pretty miserable, Longstreet; what''s going to become of us?
19498Really not?
19498Richard,cried the mother in a horrified voice,"are you in it, too?"
19498Shall we go up to the conning- tower?
19498Sir?
19498Straight to Mindanao?
19498Taney,said Harrison,"is n''t that the most beautiful city in the world?
19498The Germans are friends of Japan, are they not?
19498The Philippines? 19498 The bridges?"
19498The express goes through without stopping, does n''t it?
19498The lieutenant,said the captain,"wants to know something about Esquimault; you know the harbor there, do n''t you?"
19498They''re coming?
19498Think of it? 19498 Under our eyes?"
19498Warn him?
19498We are stumbling into a trap?
19498We ourselves?
19498We would n''t? 19498 We, at war?"
19498Well, father, what do you think of it?
19498Well, old man, how are you?
19498Well, why are the papers always talking so much about imperialism?
19498Well?
19498Were there any Japanese ships at Esquimault when you were there?
19498What about the instrument, sir?
19498What are you doing, sonny?
19498What did you do to your arm?
19498What did you say?
19498What did you say?
19498What did you think?
19498What do you suppose it is?
19498What does this mean?
19498What is it? 19498 What is it?"
19498What on earth does she want in addition?
19498What shall we do?
19498What was her name?
19498What will Great Britain do in case of war?
19498What will become of my boy? 19498 What''s the matter, are you wounded?"
19498What''s the matter?
19498What''s up? 19498 What''s up?"
19498What, Mr. Hanbury wants to speak?
19498What,he shouted,"what''s that, Higgins?
19498What?
19498When?
19498Where am I wounded?
19498Where are we going, Harry?
19498Where can he be?
19498Where did you get the scrawl?
19498Where from? 19498 Where is Colonel Johnson?"
19498Where is the telegraph- wire to the waterworks?
19498Where on earth have the Japanese ships come from? 19498 Where shall we eat?"
19498Where shall we take it?
19498Where''s the captain?
19498Who''s Perry?
19498Who''s that with you?
19498Who? 19498 Why not?"
19498Will Harriman sell? 19498 Will you give me your word of honor?"
19498Will you please do me a last service?
19498With a cargo of machinery,repeated the Japanese officer, adding,"and you are familiar with these waters also?"
19498Wo n''t you sit down and join us in a glass of whisky?
19498Would n''t it be possible to warn Arthur?
19498Yes, I know, you were at Elandslaagte and afterwards at Cronstadt, were you not?
19498Yes, mother, you did n''t suppose I''d stand and look on while Arthur was risking his life, did you? 19498 You do n''t know?
19498You have no mines?
19498You have run the blockade, man? 19498 You have run the blockade?"
19498You told the captain that you''ve been in San Francisco often,began the Jap again;"on what line were you?"
19498You''ll be on board your boat quite soon enough, or do you want to keep a night watch also on your Japanese of the-- What sort of a Maru was it?
19498***** But where had the two_ Dreadnoughts_ come from?
19498*****"What do you think of this Magdalen Bay affair?"
19498..."He was willing to give twenty dollars, was he?"
19498A long pause ensued which was at last broken by the Jap, who inquired:"Do you know Lieutenant Longstreet of the American Navy?"
19498Admiral Crane''s fleet, the yellow fleet?
19498All that''s necessary is a determined attack----""On the entrenchments in the dark?"
19498An orderly galloped past, and some one called out to him:"How are things in front?"
19498And if so, what did it all mean?
19498And suppose he did call out as the train rushed by?
19498And suppose now that he did jump across and run along the tracks?
19498And then, turning to Harryman, he asked briskly:"When are the transports expected to arrive?"
19498And what had we in the way of troops to oppose this hostile invasion?
19498And where, all this time, was Admiral Perry with his fleet?
19498And who would have dared oppose these men when animated by a single thought and a common purpose?
19498And would the Japanese calculation have been correct also if Perry had beaten Togo or Crane Kamimura?
19498Are you blind?
19498Are you crazy?"
19498Are you ready?
19498Bill was the first to recover, and inquired with apparent nonchalance:"What are you gentlemen after?"
19498But could the enemy have taken the three little tugs for torpedo- boats?
19498But from where were they to come?
19498But how had all this been accomplished?
19498But was there such a thing as an American army?
19498But what good could this scathing denunciation of the Japanese policy do us?
19498But what in Heaven''s name are we going to do?"
19498But what is public opinion?
19498But where else can they have come from?"
19498But where was the fleet?
19498But where?
19498But why at such a distance?
19498By the way, are you going to the Stock Exchange to- day?"
19498Ca n''t you hear the shots?"
19498Can they be Japanese?"
19498Could he be mistaken?
19498Could it be chance...?
19498Could it have been a dream or the raving of delirium?
19498Could such a force have pushed so far to the East in such a short space of time after landing?
19498Could these be the same?
19498Could this be war?
19498Did you ever imagine him to be anything else?"
19498Do you accept or not?"
19498Do you suppose that I''ve worked hard all my life and worn myself out for the express purpose of turning our factory into a workingmen''s home?
19498Do you think you can get the engine across?"
19498Do you understand it?"
19498General MacArthur gave spurs to his horse and rode towards the colonel, saying:"Colonel, how can you desert your regiment?"
19498Gerald moved forward a step and, looking the questioner straight in the eye, said:"I''m Mr. Hanbury, what do you want?"
19498Had God really turned the light of his countenance from us?
19498Had he been asleep?
19498Had they been able to hold their own between the enemy and the coast?
19498Had they brought arms along?
19498Hanbury?"
19498Hanbury?"
19498Hanbury?"
19498Have n''t you read the_ Evening Standard_?
19498He cleared his throat and repeated the question in a low tone of voice:"And if it was not genuine?"
19498He hurried towards the door and there ran plumb against the orderly, whom he asked sharply:"What are you doing here?"
19498He was standing in the doorway of the station and now called out:"Where is Arthur Engelmann?"
19498How could Prussia, absolutely devoid of resources, have carried on the war it did against Napoleon a hundred years ago, unless this were so?
19498How could the fellows have come so far across country?
19498How did I get here?"
19498How did the enemy manage to outflank us?
19498How''s that?"
19498Hubert pointed to the button- hole in the lapel of his coat and said:"Do you see this?"
19498I wonder what that means?"
19498Is anyone missing?
19498Is n''t it awful the way we have been taken by surprise?
19498Is this never going to stop?
19498It was hell----""Were you in Wall Street on Monday?"
19498It''s not the yellow fleet at all,"interrupted the admiral,"it''s, it''s-- my God, what is it?"
19498It''s on account of imperialism, then, is it?"
19498Let him keep on ringing, general, wo n''t you?"
19498May I ask Your Excellency to glance over this telegram?"
19498Meade rushed at him angrily and seizing him by the arm cried:"Johnny, what are you doing here?
19498Music?
19498Never?
19498Now along the tracks-- is there anything coming way back there?
19498One of the naval officers pulled out his watch to see if it were correct, and then said:"Shall we go down and get something to eat first, Ben?"
19498Or could it be that all was already at an end out at Mindanao?
19498Or was that not the war after all?
19498Perhaps it was a signal to the nearest watch to pull up the rails in front of the approaching train?
19498Shall we make it the Riviera?
19498So you are to cut the telegraph- wire?"
19498Taney looked with interest at the little white button with the American flag, and then said:"Have I got to that point?
19498Taney stuffed his pipe and answered:"In a month?
19498That was my first speech, and who would have thought that we should now be sitting together in this room?
19498The admiral studied them thoughtfully and murmured:"_ New York_, it''s true she belongs to the yellow fleet, but what brings her to Magdalen Bay?
19498The colonel pressed down the ashes in his pipe with his thumb, and asked indifferently:"You understand Japanese?"
19498The fleet?"
19498The last chance, I suppose?"
19498The man with the Browning consulted his note- book and asked Tom:"What signal is that?
19498The man with the Browning pistol now turned to Tom and said:"Has the express passed yet?"
19498The mother went on crying quietly, her handkerchief up to her eyes:"When was it to be?
19498The question is, what shall we do?
19498The woman, a coarse beauty with a fine mustache, planted herself in front of the Jap and shouted:"What, you shrimp, you want our fish, do you?"
19498Then a door was pulled open and some one asked:"Where are the robbers?"
19498Then he asked:"Did you understand question?"
19498Then it was all real, a terrible reality?
19498Two minutes later an excited lieutenant rushed in crying:"What''s the matter with the apparatus?"
19498Was he awake or had he been dreaming?
19498Was it a signal of friend or foe?
19498Was it a warning signal?
19498Was it an invading force?
19498Was there any sense in hoping when months must pass before an American army could take the field?
19498Was this the Japanese army at all?
19498Were the bells tolling?
19498Were the rails vibrating?
19498Were we fighting against supernatural forces, which no human heroism could overcome?
19498What are they marching out to Golden Gate for?"
19498What business had the world to be asleep?
19498What can it mean?
19498What could the two cruisers_ New York_ and_ Brooklyn_, lying in dock for repairs, do without a single ball- cartridge on board?
19498What do you propose doing with our factory during the war?"
19498What do you think?
19498What do_ you_ think of it?"
19498What does he want here?"
19498What does it all mean?"
19498What for?"
19498What had become of them?
19498What had happened to the Philippines and to Hawaii?
19498What on earth had happened?
19498What the deuce do you mean?"
19498What was it that the supposed plan of attack set forth?
19498What was that?
19498What was that?
19498What was that?--Lieutenant Meade had reached the officers''mess-- was it music or were his ears playing him a trick?
19498What was the good of the deck guards using up their cartridges before the red flag of Nippon was hoisted above the Stars and Stripes?
19498What was the use of our gunners aiming at the flat, gray arches of these uncanny ocean- tortoises?
19498What would happen to the two inside?
19498What would it matter-- he, one among millions, without wife or child?
19498What would they think of us on the other side if we were to hesitate at such a time as this?
19498What''s going on this morning, anyhow?
19498What''s up?"
19498When had the new Chinatown sprung up?
19498Where are we bound to-- what''s going to become of us?"
19498Where are you going?"
19498Where has this sudden life come from?
19498Where is the express now?"
19498Where on earth had the fellows come from, and what in the world did they want?
19498Where to?
19498Where under the sun was he?
19498Where was the fleet?
19498Where''s Arthur?"
19498Whither are they going?
19498Who are those fellows over there; where the deuce are they going?"
19498Why were we content to allow the smuggling to continue without interference, simply because we felt it could n''t be stamped out anyhow?
19498Will it ever stop?
19498Will the enemy''s ammunition never give out?
19498Will you be so good as to give me your names?"
19498Would they hit him or miss him when the train came?
19498Yes, where was Admiral Perry?
19498You do n''t mean to say you''ll send three thousand workmen, quiet, industrious, faithful, reliable workmen, begging to- day?
19498You walk across a sandy plain in the heat of the midday sun and you return the same way the next morning after a rainy night-- what has happened?
19498You''ve been taken in, too, have you?"
19498_ Chapter XII_ ARE YOU WINSTANLEY?
19498asked the lieutenant,"may I inquire on which line?"
19498was the answer;"where are you off to?"
19498what''s up?"
50138A fear generator?
50138A fog in your head?
50138A what?
50138A woman in this wilderness?
50138A_ whore house_? 50138 About this woman, colonel?
50138Actually I was wondering--"Whether or not I could read your mind? 50138 Ah?
50138Ah? 50138 Ah?"
50138Am I wrong?
50138And are there others down there who feel like heading for the hills?
50138And no weapons?
50138And thus destroy their bomb and the best of their scientists and engineers?
50138And what about your life?
50138And you can get me to Asia?
50138And--"And what?
50138Anything else I can tell you?
50138Are n''t you even afraid to die?
50138Are n''t you really afraid, Nedra?
50138Are you about to faint again?
50138Are you all right?
50138Are you giving me orders?
50138Are you hot?
50138Are you out of your mind?
50138Are you reading my mind?
50138Are you ready?
50138Are you sleepy, too?
50138Are you still on that level?
50138Are you sure you''re not suffering from delayed shock following the bomb explosion? 50138 Are you?"
50138Are_ you_ one of the new people?
50138But after the first man has been killed, does it help the situation to kill a second? 50138 But does it make a great deal of difference?"
50138But does n''t that change the picture, colonel?
50138But goddammit-- Are you hurt, Kurt?
50138But that would n''t keep you from shooting me?
50138But what is a blooper?
50138But what of the men who need help?
50138But what point are you making if not the one that wars are mistakes?
50138But where are we going?
50138But while she is developing her muscular control, what is she doing to the endocrinal system of every male in the place?
50138But why did you shoot him?
50138But why have n''t Cal and his buddies found it?
50138But--"How do you know? 50138 Can I turn around now?"
50138Clairvoyants?
50138Could you do it?
50138Dead?
50138Did I say the wrong thing, ask the wrong question?
50138Did it really happen? 50138 Did she blow?"
50138Did you also suspect that the only reason this airborne landing was made on these shores was to capture you?
50138Did you have a good night''s sleep?
50138Did you have that in mind for me?
50138Did you know?
50138Did you make those people go to sleep?
50138Did you run into some difficulty?
50138Did you show him that?
50138Do n''t you believe he is actually one of us? 50138 Do n''t you hear me?"
50138Do n''t you hear that blooper in the sky overhead?
50138Do n''t you realize that your failure to report what you knew is high treason?
50138Do you believe in the race soul too?
50138Do you feel as bad as all that, colonel?
50138Do you feel you really need burping?
50138Do you have a weapon that will penetrate to this depth?
50138Do you honestly think that?
50138Do you know him well?
50138Do you know that going with me may mean death?
50138Do you know what this means, Kurt? 50138 Do you mean they would get a jolt of high voltage electricity if they ventured in here?"
50138Do you mean you have never heard of them?
50138Do you mind if I ask you a question?
50138Do you think I have no friends?
50138Do you think she might be a spy for Cuso heading for his camp to report?
50138Do you want to die? 50138 Do you want to die?"
50138Do you want to go with me to Asia?
50138Do you want to howl like a dog too?
50138Does he live back there?
50138Does that mean I''m all right?
50138Does the generator have the same effect on all people?
50138Does the government know about this?
50138Eh? 50138 Eh?"
50138Eh?
50138Explode the rocket here in space?
50138For how long?
50138Get me where?
50138Granting your statement, what do you propose I do?
50138Has somebody been sleeping?
50138Have I alibied or evaded? 50138 Have n''t they?"
50138Hell, how long can this go on?
50138How are things going down there?
50138How are you going to discharge this responsibility?
50138How can this be anything but savage?
50138How come, do n''t they eat?
50138How did they do it?
50138How did they get past your fear generators?
50138How did we get out of this gallery?
50138How did we vanish? 50138 How did you do it?"
50138How did you find this place?
50138How did you know I would follow you?
50138How do I come closer to you?
50138How in the hell will you get us to Asia?
50138How many are there?
50138How many millions died in Washington, Pittsburgh, and Chicago?
50138How much farther before we get to-- Hell, where are we going anyhow?
50138How the hell did you know me?
50138How was it done?
50138How was it up in that satellite?
50138How will we ever root that bastard out of his hole now?
50138How''d you get to heaven?
50138How?
50138How?
50138How?
50138However, I guess there is nothing I can do about it, is there?
50138Huh?
50138Hunh? 50138 Hunh?"
50138I said,_ Who are you?_Cuso shouted again.
50138If she comes back alive, you mean?
50138In that case, since you already know about me-- how about it?
50138In that case, who would shoot him?
50138Is it possible, colonel, that you do not know everything?
50138Is n''t there any place where we can hide?
50138Is somebody supposed to?
50138Is something going to happen?
50138Is the pass too hot for more troops to go through it?
50138Is there anything I can get for you?
50138Is this all?
50138Is this the one?
50138Kurt, boy, where are you?
50138Land the satellite, colonel?
50138Last week? 50138 Marcia?
50138Maybe we will be turtles? 50138 Mm?"
50138Moscow?
50138Nedra, what is it?
50138Nedra, will you stop fussing with me? 50138 No more than that?"
50138No problem? 50138 No rifles?"
50138No?
50138Not a citizen?
50138Not alone?
50138Not even tear gas?
50138Not hot, eh?
50138Now what do you see?
50138Or do you want to go join him?
50138Positive?
50138Really?
50138Rebuild what with what?
50138Red- Dog Jimmie Thurman? 50138 Sam, huh?"
50138Say--"An eel?
50138Shall I shoot him, colonel?
50138Spies?
50138Sure of that?
50138That makes things different, does n''t it?
50138That would create the very danger you are trying to avoid, would it not?
50138The big one?
50138The blooper got a lot of''em, eh?
50138The colonel followed you, eh?
50138Then how in the hell did you expect to stay alive?
50138Then how?
50138Then it''s a race to see which side gets its bomb built first?
50138Then we ca n''t change the course?
50138Then what am I?
50138Then what country do you claim to belong to?
50138Then what do you propose-- to sit here and do nothing?
50138Then what is it like?
50138Then what is she doing up here?
50138Then what is your purpose?
50138Then who am I?
50138Then who did?
50138Then who did?
50138Then who-- where?
50138Then why are you two here?
50138Then why did n''t you warn us?
50138Then why did you let me do it?
50138Then why do n''t we-- just take a little nap?
50138Then you also know how these men here were put to sleep?
50138To Asia?
50138To me?
50138Walk on skulls?
50138Was there a face?
50138We''ll have them on their knees in-- huh? 50138 Weapons?"
50138Well, what if I am? 50138 Well, when and where do you want me to start?"
50138Well, where do you get it? 50138 Well, you are not a citizen of--""Why do you think I need protection?"
50138Were you going to say_ blessings_, colonel?
50138Were you with this woman?
50138West, how many of these kids did you have here?
50138What about my gun that was taken from me while I slept?
50138What about them? 50138 What about_ her_ life?"
50138What are you doing up here?
50138What are you looking for up here?
50138What are you two talking about?
50138What bomb?
50138What color is red?
50138What color was it last week?
50138What do you do, raid the low country for supplies, like Cuso''s men?
50138What do you know about the so- called new people?
50138What do you mean?
50138What do you think has happened to me?
50138What do you think we have here?
50138What good is it to go home?
50138What good would one gun do now?
50138What happened next? 50138 What happened?"
50138What happened?
50138What has happened to you?
50138What have you done here?
50138What have your liver and lights to do with this?
50138What if you are wrong?
50138What is it, Kurt?
50138What is it, Kurt?
50138What is it, Nedra?
50138What is it?
50138What is more reasonable than a corpse?
50138What is she doing, learning to be a strip- tease dancer?
50138What is that?
50138What kind of nerves do you have? 50138 What made you lose your head?"
50138What makes you think that?
50138What on earth makes you ask a question like that?
50138What the hell are you doing here?
50138What the hell are you talking about?
50138What the hell difference does it make? 50138 What the hell has happened to Nedra?"
50138What the hell is this, a glorified whorehouse?
50138What then?
50138What was it?
50138What was over there that was worth the cost of a blooper?
50138What was the big boom over that way this morning?
50138What were you two talking about?
50138What would happen to the people here, and to me, if I revealed the existence of this instrument?
50138What''s a strip- tease dancer?
50138What''s death, suh?
50138What''s going on here?
50138What''s gone?
50138What''s happening?
50138What''s she doing behind him?
50138What''s that?
50138What''s the wilderness?
50138What''s wrong? 50138 What''s wrong?"
50138What''s wrong?
50138What?
50138What?
50138When so many have died already, why should I hesitate to join them?
50138Where are your weapons?
50138Where did they go? 50138 Where did they go?"
50138Where does all this grub come from?
50138Where in the hell is that man on the speaker?
50138Where''s my pack?
50138Which way are they going now?
50138Who are the new people?
50138Who are you?
50138Who did all of this?
50138Who do you think she was, commander?
50138Who has a better right than I?
50138Who invented it?
50138Who is that?
50138Who is this?
50138Who knows whether we shall meet again?
50138Who the hell are you?
50138Who will go with me to Asia?
50138Why all the fol- de- rol?
50138Why ca n''t I?
50138Why did n''t you go with''em?
50138Why did n''t you take me with you when you went-- wherever it was you went?
50138Why did n''t you warn us? 50138 Why did you come back?"
50138Why do n''t we go farther back?
50138Why do n''t you put me over your shoulder and burp me?
50138Why do you make that noise?
50138Why do you suppose they did that?
50138Why do you want to be last?
50138Why is everybody going to sleep? 50138 Why not?"
50138Why not?
50138Why not?
50138Why should n''t I look contented? 50138 Why were you following her?"
50138Why would any man follow a woman like that?
50138Why?
50138Why?
50138Why?
50138Would I stand around here and let you shoot me if I was one of them?
50138Would you cry, after you had shot me?
50138Would you point out these blessings?
50138Yes? 50138 You did it?"
50138You did this?
50138You did?
50138You know what it''s like beyond death?
50138You know what?
50138You put us all to sleep, you and that girl? 50138 You think the Asians are gon na win, then?"
50138You thought what?
50138You want to ask her?
50138You with''em?
50138You?
50138Your guess? 50138 Zen, old man, what are you up to?"
50138And what-- what happened to Marcia?"
50138Are they shamming too?"
50138Are you out of your mind again?"
50138Are you still determined to volunteer for that position, or should I say_ condition_?"
50138Are you sure?"
50138Are you surprised at what you find here?"
50138Are you?"
50138As to what she is doing, maybe she got tired of all that down there too, and decided to come up here and live in the mountains?"
50138Ask her what she is doing up here?"
50138Besides, has he not promised me a commission as a marshal in the armed forces of his land?"
50138But how did you know?"
50138But if she comes back dead, or so loaded with radiation that she will die within a few days, then you will know she was just like all the rest of us?"
50138But if you did n''t do this, who did?"
50138But what do you wish of me?"
50138But what if you are mistaken?"
50138But what makes you think I would be interested in such a commission-- or in any commission-- in your armies?"
50138But what power?
50138But what the hell are you doing up here?"
50138But why was she coming up here?"
50138But-- how does this radar work?
50138But-- what to say?
50138Clothes?
50138Could all of these people read his mind?
50138Cuddling the youth''s head in his lap as one would a frightened child, he asked,"What happened, Carl?"
50138Describe the little man for you?
50138Did he know what had happened here?
50138Did n''t she know that she had escaped from Ed only to fall into the tender mercies of Cuso''s men?
50138Did you not see everything in our center here?"
50138Do n''t you engage in it?"
50138Do n''t you know?"
50138Do n''t you think I''ve got enough sense to take cover?"
50138Do n''t you understand what has happened?
50138Do you know how many millions of people died directly or indirectly in that bomb explosion?"
50138Do you know what it means?"
50138Do you live around here?"
50138Do you mean to tell me you can actually see what is going on inside the country of the enemy?"
50138Do you think the Earth would remain in its orbit if this happened?"
50138Error in the instrument?
50138For what?
50138Had a modern Noah appeared and not been recognized?
50138Had she followed the youth?
50138Had some subtle, odorless gas been introduced into the room?
50138Had the sound been present all the time?
50138Had the work here been an effort to escape that future?
50138He followed me, did n''t he?
50138He started to add another word,"Alone?"
50138How could a dead man build anything?
50138How could any human being stay in bed alone when that beautiful bronze creature was going through her swaying dance?
50138How did the men in the reports you read get into the planes that were about to crash?
50138How did they do it?"
50138How do you know?"
50138How had she known he was following her?
50138Human mistake?
50138I mean, do n''t you go?"
50138I mean, was anyone present?"
50138If she thought he had read her mind, did this mean that she was actually capable of reading his thoughts?
50138If the new people found it convenient to disintegrate their sewage, rather than dispose of it by the conventional method, what else could they do?
50138If they did, what would they do?
50138Is it bedtime?"
50138It''s true, is n''t it?"
50138Looking up at him, she said,"You think I''m one of the new people, do n''t you?"
50138More important, where was she leading him?
50138Most important of all, why was she trying to save him when her own life was in danger?
50138Or did these people slide forever into nothingness, into some dimensional interspace where there was no Earth, no moon, and no stars?
50138Or does killing the second one merely make it more likely that a third one will have to be destroyed?"
50138Or had it come into existence just before the fat youth vanished?
50138Or had that dream been a grim prognostication of the way things were to be on the surface of the third planet out from the sun?
50138Or is it the other way around?"
50138Or perhaps you did not know this?"
50138Or was it sorrow?
50138Or would it?"
50138So you are emotionally interested in her?"
50138Talk about the beauties of flowers and read poetry to each other?
50138Tell me honestly, colonel, would not this happen?"
50138Then, as the implications back of the question caught him,"Are n''t you on the same level?
50138There are other ways-- how do you say it?"
50138They had their chance, but they failed to develop.__ Where, now, are the dinosaurs?__ The Law is-- Grow or Die.
50138VIII"Is the center in here?"
50138Was he actually witnessing one of the miracles performed by the new people?
50138Was he dealing with a madman?
50138Was he dying?
50138Was it the appearance again of the face that had looked from the air in the center of the room?
50138Was mind reading actually commonplace here?
50138Was she playing games, making fun?
50138Was she, then, a normal human being?
50138Was this underground cavern really a modern Ark, dug into the heart of a mountain so that at least a few humans might escape the deluge by fire?
50138Were the grave and the thick files the only remaining evidence that at least one human had dared to dream of a new day?
50138Were the vanished people to reappear, armed with new weapons, and take the Asians prisoners?
50138Were you together?"
50138What are you doing up here?
50138What caused it, shock?"
50138What difference does it make?"
50138What gas?
50138What is the purpose back of this savagery, if it is not to force men to learn and to grow?
50138What kind of people were they, to be able to walk through hell and be uninfluenced by it?
50138What resources were his to command, what troops, what weapons?
50138What was he waiting for?
50138What was it?
50138What was that you just said?
50138What was that?"
50138What would happen after darkness fell?
50138What would happen when the bomb landed?
50138What''s that?"
50138What''s wrong with that?
50138When had this happened?
50138When he had finished, the senior member, an admiral, asked breathlessly,"And then what happened to her, commander?"
50138When?"
50138Where would he find himself if he vanished?
50138Where you been?"
50138Who cared?
50138Who had introduced it?
50138Who keeps tab on where the boys and the girls spend the night?"
50138Who knew?
50138Who landed Colonel Grant''s space satellite?
50138Who provided the power to energize the motion?
50138Who says it ca n''t be done?"
50138Who slipped out while my back was turned?"
50138Who steered it?
50138Who--""Did you know I knew about Grant?"
50138Why desert when you''ve had it?"
50138Why did you come up here in the first place?
50138Why did you let so many of us die so unnecessarily?"
50138Why go back to what is n''t there?"
50138Why had she let him do it?
50138Why not give up now and be done with all tragedy, with all tears, with all trying to find the road to the future?
50138Why should he be wishing this?
50138Why trust this one?
50138Why would the race mind permit such an outrage as this?
50138Why?
50138Why?"
50138Would people who did n''t use toilets spend nights together?
50138You will come down the trail with us, wo n''t you?"
50138_ N- oten._ Where did they go?
50138_ Would_ he find himself again?
49525''Why should we?'' 49525 ... and who_ are_ these Lensmen, anyway?"
49525A drink?
49525A lot of road, eh?
49525A mutant? 49525 A small, cold one?"
49525After all, perfectly nice people do meet informally on shipboard; why not in concourses?
49525After you get it made, what are you going to do with it in case nothing happens?
49525Against anything the Galactic Patrol can swing?
49525Ai n''t you getting tired of sticking around here, George?
49525Alex?
49525Allotropic iron, U-235, or plutonium?
49525And I suppose you want me to blast back to Tellus?
49525And have you, by any chance, been paying any attention to what I have been telling you?
49525And in the case of Spaceways, not normal?
49525And is there anything cheerful about that?
49525And just what do you think you''re going to do with me?
49525And murders? 49525 And now, I wonder what that daughter of mine is doing?
49525And the rest of you...? 49525 And then?"
49525And what have they got that makes them so tough?
49525And what have you deduced?
49525And what would you name it? 49525 And what would you think might be in that package?
49525And you and Dronvire are sitting idly by, doing nothing, of course?
49525Anything in their hand- bags, Mase?
49525Are n''t you even going to kiss mama goodbye, baby boy?
49525Are them the plants we''re going to get, boss?
49525Are you innocent enough to think you''ll get out of this building alive if I do n''t accept you?
49525Are you or have you been, reading my mind?
49525Are you photographing this, Lance?
49525Are you sure there''s air-- and they''ll pick us up? 49525 Are you_ sure_ you''re all right, Samms?"
49525Atmospheric vibrations? 49525 Back so soon?
49525Boskone? 49525 But ca n''t they be screened out?"
49525But enough of me-- how are you doing?
49525But surely they can not be of any use?
49525But what makes you think Herkimer here never took one of the same?
49525But when I die, will it be a perpetual menace?
49525But who are you going to send first, Virge?
49525But why now? 49525 But would n''t the very fact of such rigid restrictions operate against morale?
49525But you have nothing concrete to go on, I take it?
49525But... no reprisals?
49525Buy me a drink, mister? 49525 Ca n''t believe that any woman_ can_ be Herkimer- proof, eh?
49525Can they match that or not?
49525Can you talk now?
49525Can_ you_ talk sense, Mase? 49525 Captain Willoughby?"
49525Clio?
49525Coming with us, Rod?
49525Count_ her_ out, with all the stuff she''s got? 49525 Cuddly and baby- talkish?
49525Democracy? 49525 Deny it?
49525Dexitroboping has to do with... nourishment? 49525 Did I act as though I thought it was?
49525Did any of you-- Costigan?--see any signs of a concerted rush, such as there would have been to get the killer away if we had n''t interfered?
49525Did n''t I? 49525 Did n''t he add''and_ stay_ scrammed''?"
49525Did that signal, by any chance, originate anywhere near seventeen hours and plus ten degrees?
49525Did you boys listen in on his Casper speech last night?
49525Die? 49525 Direction-- got a compass?"
49525Disappeared? 49525 Distance sixty nine point two--_that_ all?
49525Do I need to answer that?
49525Do I? 49525 Do you call that horrible wound a_ scratch_?"
49525Do you know why?
49525Do you pronounce that or sneeze it? 49525 Do you remember what happened because the pirates learned to duplicate the golden meteor of the Triplanetary Service?"
49525Do you see any detector rigs?
49525Do you think it''s actually_ alive_, sir? 49525 Do you think you can get away with_ this_?"
49525Do you want the job? 49525 Does it work?"
49525Dwarf in the Trojan?
49525Eight foot checkerwork to the hangin'', anyway, huh?
49525Fred? 49525 From when?"
49525Going fishing, huh?
49525Got your maps?
49525Has n''t it radiated_ yet_?
49525Have any of the observers spotted anything, high up or far off?
49525Have we got time enough?
49525Have you any additional orders or instructions?
49525Have you got a spy- ray into that lock- box yet?
49525How about calling a Council conference on it?
49525How about coming back to Tellus with me, Virge?
49525How about the glory holes?
49525How about the home planet, then?
49525How d''ya like your new boss, May?
49525How did_ that_ happen, Jack?
49525How did_ that_ happen? 49525 How do you know-- another of your hunches?"
49525How do you like_ them_ potatoes?
49525How do you want it; voice, or Lens, or both?
49525How long can you make a drill last?
49525How low do you go?
49525How many of you others agree with Corander; how many with Ohlanser?
49525How wide a sag you figurin''on, Supe?
49525How?
49525How_ sure_ are you of this, Miss Samms?
49525Huh? 49525 Huh?
49525Huh? 49525 Huh?
49525Huh?
49525Huh?
49525Huh?
49525Huh?
49525Huh?
49525Hunting? 49525 Hush- hush?
49525I suppose that it will be all right... that is, I can call on you again, if...?
49525I take it, then, that there is no objection to her going?
49525I''d better get at this, sir, do n''t you think, and let Operation Boskone go for a while?
49525If I did have, do you think I''d be standing here talking to you?
49525If you_ dared_?
49525In spite of being over seven feet tall? 49525 In what respects?"
49525Including Department Q? 49525 Is Tallick here, or anywhere on the planet?"
49525Is it possible for you, sir or madam, to give me a moment of your time?
49525Is there a doctor here?
49525It has improved, then, lately?
49525It''s perfectly safe here, you think?
49525Jack and Mase-- I do n''t suppose you looked?
49525Jill, do you agree with what Rod here has just told me?
49525Jill, will you please explain why they have to waste as big a man as Kinnison on such a piffling job as president? 49525 Jill?
49525Jones? 49525 Just a word, if you will, Mr. Samms, as to these trials and the White Book?"
49525Just for my information, Mr. Isaacson, how many predecessors have I had on this particular job, and what happened to them? 49525 Just like that, huh?"
49525Kill you, my pet? 49525 Look around, will you?
49525Married?
49525May I offer a suggestion, sir?
49525May I take a moment of this idle time in which to spread my visualization, for enlargement and instruction?
49525Me? 49525 Me?
49525More men left than I thought-- how many-- half of''em?
49525Mucker?
49525Murgatroyd, do you suppose?
49525No Lensman material here, you say, Rod?
49525No guns?
49525No invasion or occupation? 49525 No... o... o...?"
49525No? 49525 No?
49525No?
49525Not enough to turn on_ anything_--not even the purifiers?
49525Not whether I_ could_ have or not-- I couldn''t-- but_ should_ I have, Spud?
49525Not_ exactly_ parallel?
49525Now is the time for all good men and true to come to the aid of the party, eh?
49525Now, Vice- Admiral Ohlanser...."How do you, a stranger, know my name?
49525Now_ should_ I have shot her, or not?
49525Of course not-- but did I use any language that would burn out the transmitters? 49525 Oh, does''oo?"
49525Oh, you did? 49525 Oh... how?
49525Ohlanser, then, who assumed command, is also a Petrino? 49525 One more question, Miss Samms?"
49525Or Bergenholm at least? 49525 Or are you trying to set up a paradox?"
49525Or been approached, or moved?
49525Or did somebody tell you something? 49525 Or is it something I should not mention?"
49525Ordinary or extraordinary, what matter? 49525 P- p- pine...?"
49525Peace? 49525 Q as in''quiet'', eh?
49525Quadruple second cousins? 49525 Ready to visit them, via Lens?"
49525Ready?
49525Rigelston, I would translate it?
49525Rod? 49525 Rushton Boulevard, you think, Mase?"
49525Shall I blow the air, sir?
49525Shall we go out now an''start pickin''''em?
49525Shall we spy- ray him, Virge? 49525 Shoving off early?"
49525Since you do not drink, and since you were not in search of feminine... er... companionship, just why did you go down to Roaring Jack''s dive?
49525Sirs, which of your Magnificences is officially the commander of this here bucket of odds and ends at the present instant?
49525So you know?
49525So? 49525 So?"
49525Somebody must have done a terrific job of selling, to make you believe that... or_ are_ you sold, actually?
49525Something slip?
49525Space- happy? 49525 Support?
49525Sure that was all?
49525Sure, but what do_ they_ care?
49525Tallick? 49525 Thanks, Skipper, but might n''t it be just as well,"he jerked his head inconspicuously toward the other officers,"to play the string out, this trip?
49525That all?
49525That was Spaceways, under cover?
49525That''s enough, Rod, do n''t you think?
49525The girl? 49525 The good old oil, eh?"
49525The lunch- box, then, will be slightly special?
49525The_ Chicago_? 49525 Then I-- I alone-- of all the entities in existence, can wear this particular Lens?"
49525Then you can conceive of the desirability of working with non- Palainian entities toward an end which would benefit both races?
49525There''ll be nothing doing here tonight, will there?
49525They go crazy, eh?
49525They''re not pikers, anyway, are they? 49525 Think you so?"
49525This altruism-- what good is it? 49525 This arouses my curiosity no end-- does it merely complicate the thionite problem, or does it set up an entirely new problem?
49525This where we''re going to land?
49525This, I believe, concludes the business of the meeting?
49525Too damn much water too soon, huh?
49525Um... m... m. Put that away, it does n''t sound so good, does it? 49525 WHAT?
49525WHERE ARE YOU FROM? 49525 Want me, Jill?"
49525Want to know why he''s doing such a quick flit?
49525Was n''t she the most perfectly_ beautiful_ thing you ever saw?
49525We won-- technically-- I guess-- or did we? 49525 Well, Virge-- satisfied?"
49525Well, are n''t you curious to know what it is?
49525Well, my skeptical and pessimistic friend, was I lying, or not?
49525Well, say that once upon a time there were two men named Albert and Chester...."What? 49525 Well, then, can Samms?"
49525Well, then,Samms thought, almost viciously,"can you introduce me to someone who is stupider, sillier, and more foolish than you are?"
49525Well?
49525Well?
49525Wha''s the idea of that damn surveyor lying to us like that?
49525What am I here for, then?
49525What are the symptoms? 49525 What are those mounds along the streets?"
49525What did you do?
49525What did you expect? 49525 What difference does it make?"
49525What do you mean by_ that_ crack?
49525What do you mean?
49525What do you think should be done about him?
49525What do you think you''re going to do?
49525What do you want to get into it for?
49525What do_ you_ think? 49525 What do_ you_ think?"
49525What else? 49525 What gives?
49525What in hell''s behind this? 49525 What is it, Virge?"
49525What is reality?
49525What is the opposition?
49525What is there along that line?
49525What kind of a car are you in?
49525What next, sir?
49525What of it? 49525 What ship shall we take, and when?"
49525What the hell goes on here?
49525What was the solution?
49525What would I do with it?
49525What would we use for time? 49525 What would you say, then, to the idea of this office being our real headquarters, of that little package there being our real business?"
49525What would you use for a case? 49525 What''s the matter, Rod?"
49525What''s the matter, Virge?
49525What, then?
49525What? 49525 What?
49525What? 49525 What?
49525What? 49525 When can you go?
49525Where are you and what are you doing?
49525Where are you, Jill?
49525Where were you?
49525Where''s Jones?
49525Whither away, pilot?
49525Who knows?
49525Who of this club would be most interested in becoming a Lensman?
49525Who''s being heroic now, Rod?
49525Why did you stop_ here_?
49525Why do n''t you go to Arisia and be tested for one? 49525 Why does n''t it back up or turn around?
49525Why not, indeed? 49525 Why not?
49525Why not? 49525 Why not?"
49525Why not?
49525Why not?
49525Why talk, when we could be eating? 49525 Why was I not killed?
49525Why, indeed?
49525Why? 49525 Why?
49525Why?
49525Why?
49525Will you need me any more, Doctor Murray?
49525Winfield to First Lensman Samms-- you will be ready to blast off at twenty one hundred?
49525With all this enthusiasm? 49525 Without knowing what the job is or how much it pays?"
49525Without my boys-- the backbone and the guts of North America, as well as of the Patrol? 49525 Wonder how we came out?
49525Yes, Jack?... 49525 Yes, Knobos?
49525Yes, Miss Regan?
49525Yes, Virge?
49525Yes, sir?
49525Yes?
49525Yes?
49525Yes?
49525Yes?
49525Yes?
49525You already know the Lens?
49525You are not even sending your fleet, or heavy units of it, with us, to see to it that we follow your instructions?
49525You are sure of these observational facts?
49525You are, I think, familiar with my parentage?
49525You called Deke?
49525You can, then, produce Lenses yourselves?
49525You do n''t know? 49525 You do n''t think, then, that there is any chance?"
49525You do not look like an Italian, but perhaps you have enough of that racial heritage to believe in prophecy?
49525You had no trouble in recognizing me, then, my dear?
49525You hope they do?
49525You know what this is?
49525You mean you are n''t going to kill me, even now? 49525 You observed and understood?
49525You saw that, Alex? 49525 You think I''m safe, then?"
49525You think they''d last until the next pay- day if they start playing that kind of ball? 49525 You up there ahead of me?"
49525You wanted a diversion, did n''t you?
49525You would n''t have, by any chance, been considering the idea of...?
49525You would not be unduly surprised to learn that substances other than uranium occasionally reach Northport?
49525You would? 49525 You''re telling me?"
49525You''ve got some duty- dances, of course..."_ Some?_ I''ve got a list as long as from here to there! 49525 You, who have been so afraid of us for over two thousand million Tellurian years that you dared not let us even learn of you?
49525Your scouts sounded me out; what did they tell you? 49525 Yourself first, the organization second?"
49525_ Fourth_ Officer? 49525 _ Lovers!_ Who the hell ever said we were lovers?...
49525_ Recent_ periodicity?
49525_ Spaceways!_ Isaacson?
49525_ Was ist los_, Stu? 49525 _ What?_"Kinnison exclaimed, then fell silent.
49525_ Who_ says so, the dirty, sneaking liars?
49525''_ Virgilia_'', I suppose?"
49525*****"That buttons thionite up, do n''t you think?"
49525... but I wonder... with the Lens perhaps telephones are superfluous?
49525A_ tour de force_?
49525After the fact, it is easy to say that he should have continued his personal supervision of Earth, but can that view be defended?
49525All right?"
49525All the comforts of home, eh?"
49525Altruism?
49525An''I was due to take the deep breath the next week, see?
49525And Clayton and Schweikert and the rest of the gang?
49525And Jack?
49525And Riley?
49525And a dance, huh?"
49525And above all, how about Jill?"
49525And as for a machine, what finer one is possible than the Patrol?
49525And can you duplicate his machine?"
49525And even had he thought it worth while to make such a glaring exception, would not the fused Elders of Arisia have intervened?
49525And how can we make the approach?
49525And how?
49525And if the absentee were not to be found on Earth, what of it?
49525And if they were to be forced out of normal space, what matter?
49525And just where does that put the Palainians?"
49525And now we''d better get to work, do n''t you think?"
49525And say, from the throw of the pump and the volume of the sump, will you give me the best estimate you can of how much time we''ve got?
49525And the major reason?"
49525And to complete my argument, you work with other Palainians, do you not, to reach a common goal?"
49525And what would they do about it?"
49525And when can you go to work?"
49525And when they grew up-- half way up, that is....""Do n''t tell me that we are going to suppose that all those identical twins married each other?"
49525And when?
49525And where do you go from there?"
49525And where?
49525And why Virgil Samms?"
49525And why had some of that dexitroboper''s-- whatever_ that_ meant!--thoughts come in so beautifully sharp and clear and plain while others...?
49525And why would anybody want to make such an all- out effort to get rid of you?
49525And why, the reader asks, were not at least some of those named persons arrested before Election Day?
49525And you others?"
49525And you?"
49525And...?"
49525Animal, vegetable, or mineral?"
49525Another hunch?"
49525Anybody else covered?"
49525Anybody except me wearing a pistol?
49525Are n''t you holding back maybe just a little bit of a suspicion, for diplomatic reasons?"
49525Are not some of them...?"
49525Are you by any chance either hungry or thirsty?"
49525Are you in trouble?
49525Are you loose- screwed enough to actually think I would ask or need your permission?
49525Are you pretty sure, Jill, that Herkimer is a key man?"
49525Are you?"
49525Are you_ sure_ of that?
49525Atmospheric_ vibrations_?"
49525Beauties?
49525Been able to find out anything more about it?"
49525Bergenholm passed you, of course?"
49525Bergenholm?"
49525Better we take it up with the boss, do n''t you think?"
49525Better?"
49525Black?
49525Born with second sight-- or whatever it is?"
49525But I gather, from what you have said, that I would probably not be given a Lens to use purely for my own selfish purposes?"
49525But Mase would, before he went to bed-- or would he?
49525But Ossmen is clean, you say, Jack?
49525But about this stumping-- you said I''d better start as soon as we get back?"
49525But are n''t you over- drawing a bit?
49525But could n''t the voters tell easily enough which side was on the offensive and which on the defensive?
49525But did you say a_ cold_ lemon sour?"
49525But how many of your sons and daughters has Roderick Kinnison murdered, either personally or through his uniformed slaves?
49525But how of these, my other friends?
49525But how... oh, those?"
49525But if he''s such a mental giant, why is n''t he getting results with his own problem, the meteor?
49525But in spite of what you said about''ducking''politics, what have you got Northrop, Jill and Fairchild doing?"
49525But is it something else, as well?
49525But notice one beautiful thing about this story?"
49525But now-- and I''ve got my ears pinned back-- what was it you started to say about pirates?"
49525But the big break was-- you remember the disappearance of that girls''-school cruise ship?"
49525But the field is so_ big_--how do you expect to find him?
49525But the reason for this call is to ask you if you have anything new, however slight, to add to our very small knowledge of Zwilnik?"
49525But there''s a note on my pad that he wants to see me sometime today-- suppose we have him come in now?"
49525But we''ll get ours, huh?"
49525But what makes you think that she''s anything to be afraid of?
49525But what the hell else can we do?"
49525But you and Mase, Jack?"
49525But you have never been in thionite?"
49525But you have suspicions or ideas?
49525But you know what, Molly?"
49525But, if Morgan were really the Big Shot, would he have deigned to interview personally such small fry as Olmstead?
49525But-- can you stand transfer?"
49525By analogy, and since Isaacson is apparently on the same level as Towne, immediately below Morgan....""Would n''t there be three?
49525By being dumb?"
49525By the way, you do n''t know yet who is going to carry it, do you?"
49525By what stretch of the imagination do you figure that you can find anybody with a loose enough mouth to out- lie and out- promise Morgan?
49525Ca n''t you raise_ anybody_?"
49525Can do?"
49525Can things be_ that_ rotten, really?"
49525Can you and will you give me a chart of a routing from here to Palain Seven?"
49525Can you classify''em from here, Jack?"
49525Can you feature that?
49525Can you give me the shortest possible distance?"
49525Can you see any more of them, either of you?"
49525Can you stand up yet?"
49525Can you use a sap?"
49525Can you?"
49525Check?"
49525Check?"
49525Closing up, he asked:"Where are you taking that baggage, Charley?"
49525Come into my office, will you, Rod?"
49525Coming?"
49525Confidential, sort of...?"
49525Converted into... what?
49525Could that constellation be Orion?
49525Could the range of detection then be increased?"
49525Could_ anybody_ build a bomb that powerful?
49525Cylinder?
49525DalNalten, I do n''t suppose it would be quite bright for you to go swimming down there too, would it?"
49525Dead men, ringers, repeaters, ballot- box stuffing, and so on, you said?"
49525Did Brainerd act or look nervous, toward the last?
49525Did it?
49525Did n''t you believe I knew what I was talking about?"
49525Did you hear what the boss told''em today?"
49525Did you think that moving upstairs would make a boot- licker out of me?"
49525Disintegrated?
49525Distance only, or is somebody on your tail?"
49525Do I get heaved out between planets without a space- suit, or not?"
49525Do either of you know him?"
49525Do n''t you know that_ nobody_ can get anywhere near that damn planet?"
49525Do you others agree?
49525Do you want to come peaceably or shall I work on your neck again?"
49525Do you, about yours?"
49525Do you?"
49525Does not the fact that we ceased hostilities so soon mean anything to you?"
49525Does the Council think it''s got a man with enough dynage to lift the load?"
49525Each of you has taken oath to the Galactic Patrol?"
49525Even if we could find him... and by the way, what do you think the chance is of our spies finding him?"
49525Fair enough?"
49525Father told you about the way I work, I suppose?"
49525First Lensman Samms, sir...?"
49525Fishing?"
49525Five levels above you are dead, you know, so....""Dead?
49525Five years, let us say?"
49525Flew away?
49525Follow him?
49525From where?"
49525Funny, is n''t it, how hard it is to stop, even when you are n''t in any particular hurry?
49525Go to Arisia?"
49525Got your spotting screens full out, Mase?"
49525Guess I''ll eat now-- join me in a sandwich and some hot coffee or a cold lemon sour or cherry soda?"
49525Have I been too rough?"
49525Have any of you boys anything to say?
49525Have n''t we been eating out of the same dish for lo, these many moons?
49525Have n''t you any idea who he is?"
49525Have those big suns got any planets?"
49525Have you any idea how long it will be?
49525Have you any idea where?"
49525Have you any other material, not necessarily facts, which may have bearing?"
49525Have you any specific project in mind?"
49525Have you got a little girl- friend, too?"
49525Have you got a man you can break in to take your place here?"
49525He likes little, cuddly baby- talkers, who pretend to be utterly spineless and completely brainless-- eh, Jack?"
49525Her father?
49525Heroin, hadive, and ladolian, was n''t it?
49525How about it?"
49525How about me giving the boys a briefing on it, right now?"
49525How about the_ Bolivar_ and the_ Himalaya_?
49525How about throwing a globe around Eridan?"
49525How about time?
49525How about you, Mase?
49525How about you, Vice- Admiral Corander?
49525How about you?
49525How about your identical- twin cousins, Ray and George Olmstead, who have been doing such a terrific job of counter- spying?"
49525How are you coming with Operation Bennett?"
49525How can I know or report the exact mass, length, and orientation of single hairs?"
49525How can a man of that caliber have been kicking around so long without me knowing anything about him?"
49525How come?"
49525How could they-- really-- exist as they seemed to exist?
49525How could you possibly have overcome-- reconciled-- a situation so full of conflict?"
49525How did you do it, Olmstead?"
49525How did you know?"
49525How do they get that way?"
49525How do you expect me to build up a staff if you snatch every good man I find away from me?"
49525How do you figure that?"
49525How do you figure_ that_ puts her in my class?"
49525How do you suppose I lived to get as old as I am now?
49525How does it work?"
49525How many of them had Tworn had to disable?
49525How much detection have you got out?"
49525How much radioactivity will it stand?"
49525How often, would you say, do they have to come here to service this station-- change tapes, and whatever else might be necessary?"
49525How say you, Bergenholm of Tellus?
49525How was the crew taking it?
49525How would you like to kick him from Panama City to the North Pole?"
49525How would''Director of Research''sound?"
49525How..._ how_... HOW could he do what he had to do?
49525How?
49525How?"
49525How?"
49525How_ could_ it happen?
49525However....""What?"
49525I am the first Tellurian you have met?"
49525I ask you, Chief, does that make sense?"
49525I assume that you four wish to continue at work?"
49525I do n''t know of anything at all out that way, do you?
49525I have drawn every picture I can think of with Isaacson in the driver''s seat, but none of them fit?"
49525I never saw one close up before, did you?
49525I think I''ll call Jill now, before I go-- wonder where she is?
49525I want a spy- ray op-- is it safe to use Fred?"
49525I wonder what this Dr. Olmstead does with his spare cash?"
49525I wonder, though, if you knew how much of it was testing?"
49525I wonder....""Why not have the boys in-- Jill, too-- and thrash it out?"
49525I wonder...?"
49525I''m ignoring you, too-- like this, see?"
49525I''m still on your track?"
49525If it has other powers... what are they?"
49525If that trooper had known what was in the box beside his leg he probably would have fallen over backward; but how was he even to suspect?
49525If they did n''t know about him, why the ships-- especially the big battlewagons?
49525If they did think he might be out there somewhere, why did n''t they go and find out?"
49525If, ten years ago, anyone had told you that such a race as the Rigellians existed, what would you have thought?
49525In a place like this?"
49525In force?
49525In the meantime, who''s calling?
49525Instead:"I would like to show you, if I may, the above- ground part of our Works?"
49525Is he actually in supreme command?"
49525Is he alone?"
49525Is n''t that true, copper?"
49525Is that clear?"
49525Is the fault mine?
49525It is, I now perceive, the Lens which makes this full accord possible, and it is basically about the Lens that you are here?"
49525It would not take too many scouts, would it?"
49525Jones almost screamed,"Can I dog the damn thing down?"
49525Just how far down are you willing to start?"
49525Kinnison exclaimed,"Can you''scopists see it on him?"
49525Kinnison?"
49525Kragzex?"
49525Let me carry some of that plunder?"
49525Let''s call it off, shall we?
49525Like charges, repelling each other inversely as the square of the distance?
49525ME?
49525Maybe they''re going to make us breathe space....""Huh?
49525Maybe you saw him talking to me a while back?"
49525Measure this scratch, will you?
49525Minutes?
49525Miss Reed, get me Rand... Rand?
49525Morgan began then to worry, but there was nothing he could do about the situation-- or was there?
49525No indemnities to your Patrol, or reparations?
49525No punishment of us, our men, or our families?"
49525No thionite involved anywhere?"
49525No, it must be more specific... Rigelsville?
49525Nobody''s put a beam on him yet, have you?"
49525Not a fleet, probably-- the_ Boise_?
49525Not even a spy- ray block?"
49525Not having much luck catching Mr. Black, are they?"
49525Not two Irishmen named Pat and Mike?
49525Nothing you could have done would have....""You know my name?"
49525Now if we can come that close to winning an absolutely honest election, how do you figure we can possibly lose the kind this one is going to be?
49525Now if you will step just a little closer to the mike, please, Mr. Samms, or should I say...?"
49525Now would he please quit bellyaching and get to hell out?
49525Now, how many of you jaspers have got your emergency kits on you?
49525Now, sir, what everybody wants to know is-- who are the Blacks?"
49525Now-- how are the Geigers on the outside of the Hill behaving?"
49525Now-- you noticed, of course, the vote at the end of the meeting?"
49525Number Four, you said, darling?"
49525Of all the hells in space, why Arisia?
49525Of course, we will soon have our own Galactic credit system worked out, but....""What the hell difference would_ that_ make?"
49525Oh, those?
49525On the Lens, sir?"
49525Or Mase?
49525Or better yet, one of those people it told about in those funny old books they dug up last year-- liege lords, or something like that, remember?
49525Or both?
49525Or both?"
49525Or days?
49525Or do you know where he is?"
49525Or do you think I am?"
49525Or even degrade me, or put me under arrest?"
49525Or is he?"
49525Or is it?
49525Or the_ Chicago_?"
49525Or was Olmstead''s job of more importance than he, Samms, had supposed?
49525Or was n''t he holding her-- had the damn thing stopped cutting?
49525Or was n''t the pirate fleet supposed to be in on this?
49525Or weeks?
49525Or were they in fact working together as closely as were the two young Lensmen themselves?
49525Or what?"
49525Or what?"
49525Or would n''t you rather have it a twosome?"
49525Petrine?"
49525Plural?
49525Pops Kinnison?
49525Quite an operation, do n''t you think?"
49525Returned?
49525Rigel City?"
49525Rigel and Betelgeuse?
49525Right now?"
49525Right?"
49525S.?"
49525Samms?"
49525Second, why did you cut down, instead of increasing as ordered, the weight of broadleaf per trip?
49525See?"
49525See?"
49525See?"
49525Shall I hail her?"
49525Shall we hunt him up and eat together?"
49525Shall we report now, or are n''t you ready to go to work yet?"
49525Shall we stick around and see whether it comes in from Cavenda or not?"
49525She got her hair and eyes from you, why not your hard- headedness, too?
49525She looked to be about twenty-- except her eyes-- but she must have been a hundred, to know so much-- but what are you boys staring so about?"
49525She was sure that murder was intended, but who was to be the victim?
49525Should he use his headlights, or not?
49525Side- arms?
49525Sitting on our fat rumps and crying into our beers?"
49525Small?
49525So afraid that you dare not, even now, meet me mind to mind, but insist upon the use of this slow and unsatisfactory oral communication between us?"
49525So how about this?
49525So it''s_ your_ doing-- what in hell''s the big idea?"
49525So you noticed it yourself?"
49525Somebody else?
49525Somebody must have learned something before anything happened; but if they did, why did n''t they do more?
49525Sunberg?
49525Sure you wo n''t help me clean up on those sandwiches, before they get stale?"
49525Sure?"
49525Take a look-- you can, ca n''t you, with your Lens?"
49525Tell him to-- how many men has he got on the rotary?"
49525Thanks, immensely, for allowing me to come here, Mr....?"
49525That all?"
49525That city is named... that is, in your English you might call it... Suntown?
49525That would mean... but where?"
49525That''s the point we''re diving at now... see that crater?"
49525The Marine Room, you said?"
49525The Patrol get them?"
49525The only chance now remaining is for you to win the election, and how can you do that?
49525Then Drounli arrived; arrived in the instant of his leaving The Hill-- what matters even inter- galactic distance to the speed of thought?
49525Then, as soon as Stanley''s voice came on:"What I want to know is, why is this damned water- pump overloading?
49525Then, when he had emerged into the now brilliantly illuminated stope,"Where are the timber- pimps?"
49525There are, I assume, other surviving officers of your rank, although of lesser seniority?"
49525There_ must_ have been a leak somewhere-- but where in hell could it have been?"
49525They are, then, actually available upon your world, Samms of Tellus?"
49525They know what is going on, then?"
49525This emmfozing, then-- if I read correctly, your race has only two sexes?"
49525This feels funny, does n''t it?"
49525This forecast is, I trust, sufficiently detailed so that you will have no difficulty in checking its accuracy or its lack thereof?"
49525This is what you wanted?"
49525This it?"
49525This, from_ you_?"
49525Three of my boys have just hatched out something that may be worth quite a few million credits a year to us.... Me?
49525Understand?"
49525Upon what basis did you arrive at the figure you established?"
49525Valeria?"
49525Vanished?
49525Vice- Admiral Corander?"
49525WHO ARE YOUR BOSSES?
49525Want to come along?"
49525Was stolen?
49525Was this lifetime of agony only one minute?
49525We all know what it_ does_, but what, really,_ is_ it?
49525We should run an eye over it, do n''t you think?"
49525Weak?
49525Well, then, Mr. Samms, who do you think it was that tried to kill you, and where do you think the Black Fleet came from?"
49525Were they, in fact as in seeming, total strangers?
49525What about that Lens?"
49525What are all you Lensmen-- the Galactic Council and so on-- really up to?
49525What are they, Jack?"
49525What are they, anyway?
49525What are you taking?
49525What could she do?
49525What did they do to you?"
49525What did_ you_ see?"
49525What do they say?"
49525What do you expect to get out of it?
49525What do you get out of it?"
49525What do you know about her-- and how?"
49525What do you mean?
49525What do you mean?"
49525What do you think you''re doing, anyway-- playing tennis or seeing how many innocent bystanders you can bring down out of control?"
49525What do you think, Virge?
49525What does a Chief Dexitroboper do?"
49525What does that mean?
49525What does the ticket cover?"
49525What does time mean to any Arisian?
49525What duties would be connected with this... er... position?
49525What for, I wonder?
49525What good was life, except to enjoy such thrills as he had just had and was about to have again?
49525What happened, and where?"
49525What have you got on top of the umbrella, the_ Boise_ or the_ Chicago_?
49525What in hell do you think_ I''d_ be doing?
49525What is all this Lens stuff really about?
49525What is it?"
49525What is this job you''re so sure you are going to do?"
49525What is your decision?"
49525What makes you think that any such are available?"
49525What matter that there were not that many planets in their native space?
49525What of it?
49525What of it?"
49525What of it?"
49525What other streets could it be?"
49525What say we and some of you fellows round up some girls and go have us a party?"
49525What say we do it now?"
49525What was at the bottom of that affair-- the Lens or the woman?
49525What was death?
49525What was the matter?
49525What were-- really-- those Palainians?
49525What would I really do?"
49525What would you be doing, if you were on the other side?"
49525What would you do if our situations were reversed?"
49525What''s Boskone?"
49525What''s the circuit?"
49525What''s the story?
49525What''s the technique, and how do I cover up?"
49525What''s your idea on that?"
49525When did you stop being a sadist?"
49525Where do you want this ninety- sixty with the doctors and nurses?
49525Where does_ she_ fit into this picture?
49525Where is your representation upon that so- called Galactic Council?
49525Where next, First Lensman?"
49525Where''s Pennoyer?
49525Which pressed for action and which insisted on postponement and delay?
49525While we wait, shall we study the planet a little?"
49525Who can tell?
49525Who invented it?
49525Who is to select them?"
49525Who is to watch the watchmen?"
49525Who knows?
49525Who knows?"
49525Who was_ he_, that all these boys should care so much whether he lived or died?
49525Who''s the captain of your team-- you or the clothes- horse?"
49525Who, in your opinion, is the real boss?"
49525Who, what, and why-- and for how long-- was Gray Roger?
49525Whom did you talk to, and what did he, she, or it say?"
49525Why axes?
49525Why could n''t he?"
49525Why did n''t our Mr. Murgatroyd do something?
49525Why did n''t somebody Lens her?
49525Why did n''t you?"
49525Why do you do it?
49525Why do you suppose they offered that much, when they can get anybody killed for a hundred?
49525Why lie?"
49525Why not Lewistons, or rifles, or pistols?
49525Why not let him keep up the counter- espionage-- do the job you were figuring on doing yourself-- and you stay here and boss it?"
49525Why not thousands of cycles ago?
49525Why not?"
49525Why should I be different from the rest of you?"
49525Why should_ you_ die?
49525Why the diffidence all of a sudden, Mase?
49525Why was I allowed to keep on making campaign speeches?
49525Why was I not informed of the Patrol''s real power-- how could you be guilty of such stupidity?
49525Why, otherwise, had not a single one of the thousands of accused even been arrested?
49525Why?
49525Why?
49525Why?
49525Why?"
49525Will they hold it up deliberately or strike fast?"
49525Will you please send my car up to the Wright Skyway feeder?"
49525Will you tell the public, First Lensman Samms, what your guess is?"
49525Will you?"
49525With whom?
49525Witherspoon?"
49525Wonder how he''ll go about it?
49525Would it by any chance happen to coincide with our Tellurian November fourteenth of this present year?"
49525Would it throw you off too much to go inert and match intrinsics, so that I can join you?"
49525Would such a race of beings have need of such things as cities?
49525Would there, or would there not, be cities?
49525Would you like to come along?"
49525Would you like to observe the proceedings?"
49525Would you like to see them?"
49525Would you part with her-- for, say, ten credits?"
49525Wright, what would you say is the biggest sag we can cut in this kind of rock at two and a quarter feet a minute?"
49525Wright, you''re all in one piece, are n''t you?"
49525Y''don''t s''pose he''s going to take the Old Man away from us already, do you?"
49525You also will realize that I must have become cognizant of my own peculiarities long before anyone else did or could?"
49525You are an expert at that, I believe?"
49525You are of course familiar in a general way with our operation at Northport?"
49525You are of course observing all specified precautions as to key personnel?"
49525You are, Spud?"
49525You call it mewing and purring, I believe?"
49525You can guess?"
49525You do not perceive yours, either, as you drive?"
49525You have given me a Lens for Roderick Kinnison; how about the others?
49525You have?
49525You know how sarcastic and superior he is, even when he''s wrong?"
49525You know the edge of the galaxy closest to Tellus, where that big rift cuts in?"
49525You swear it?"
49525You think, then, that it might not be good technique to take the time to go back to the spaceport?"
49525You two must have had a common ancestor-- or several-- not too far back, did n''t you?"
49525You yourself expect an attack, do you not?"
49525You''re a Procian, are n''t you?"
49525You''ve been working on him right along, though, have n''t you?"
49525You''ve given up, then, on the idea that Arisia is the pirates''GHQ?"
49525You''ve got things in shape, have n''t you, so that you can take the week- end off?"
49525You''ve seen systems like this before?"
49525Zwilnik?"
49525_ Atmospheric_ vibrations?
49525_ How?_ Mind- reading?"
49525_ How?_ Mind- reading?"
49525_ How_ would California go?
49525_ Lovers!_ Me and that red- headed stinker-- that jelly- brained sapadilly?
49525_ Where_ did you get it?"
49525_ You_ passed it, did n''t you?"
49525er...?"
13738A lantern?
13738A spy on what-- on my mother, on Minna, on me, on the flowers, as a part of this monstrous game of trickery and lies that you are playing?
13738An open mind that let you have your way in equipping more dirigibles and planes than Westerling guesses we have, eh? 13738 And I can be of most help when the attack on the main defence is begun?"
13738And Minna and little Clarissa Eileen?
13738And about the declaration of war? 13738 And cost them many?"
13738And defeat means-- what does defeat mean?
13738And did you hold your session?
13738And how did you sleep?
13738And how long do you think the war would last? 13738 And if I can not?
13738And if I get another hole in me you''ll patch me up again?
13738And if you caught a regiment in close formation with a shower of bombs, that would be positively heavenly, would n''t it?
13738And perhaps a sweetheart?
13738And the 132d-- no order about that, sir?
13738And the cost in lives?
13738And the little crawlers-- did they bother you much, the little crawlers?
13738And the news-- what is the news?
13738And the only real end that means real peace is to prove that the weak can hold back the strong from their threshold?
13738And the press-- the mischievous, greedy, but very useful press?
13738And the supremely ridiculous thing?
13738And then?
13738And this is only the beginning, is n''t it?
13738And this will be the most terrible attack of all?
13738And what are we doing? 13738 And when they took off their hats, what then?"
13738And you are ready to be shot for that principle?
13738And you are sure-- sure we can win?
13738And you found out that I was not deaf when you had that fall on the terrace?
13738And you have nothing to say?
13738And you have yet another paper there?
13738And you say that Westerling, who commands the killing on his side, will be in no danger?
13738And you think that you will win?
13738And you will keep watch that Mrs. Galland and Marta are in no danger?
13738And you would want the information about the first line to- night if-- if it is to be of service?
13738And you''re acting chief of staff, Lanny? 13738 And you-- what have you been doing all these years?"
13738And your victory will mean a new frontier, a new order of international relations and a long peace, you think? 13738 Are n''t we refusing to leave the nation''s house because a burglar is trying to enter?"
13738Are they coming yet?
13738Are we of the septicized- serum age equal to it?
13738Are you afraid? 13738 Are you sure it''s going to be war?"
13738Are you, too, afraid?
13738Beats spraying rose- bushes for bugs, eh, old man?
13738But Goerwitz-- what will he say?
13738But I did it well, did n''t I?
13738But are n''t you afraid to be left alone in the dark? 13738 But how-- where?"
13738But if the Browns did know where you were going to attack?
13738But it will help? 13738 But still you stake your life?
13738But that will be the object and the effect-- wholesale slaughter?
13738But the law of the Grays is that homes should be left undisturbed, is n''t it? 13738 But we would n''t want them to put up their flag on our territory, would we?"
13738But what about the aeroplanes?
13738But what about the indemnity?
13738But what about the remainder of the force that made the charge? 13738 But why not?"
13738By wireless?
13738Ca n''t we get enough fighting from the Browns without fighting each other?
13738Ca n''t you run any faster than that, captain? 13738 Can we do it alone?
13738Can you see them from up here?
13738Can you see''em?
13738Children, why will you waste your country''s ammunition?
13738Conditions the same as before?
13738Conqueror? 13738 Could little White Liver sleep away from home and mamma?
13738Coward? 13738 Did I help any?"
13738Did I? 13738 Did anyone else suspect?"
13738Did n''t I say to trust it to me, Lanny?
13738Did we accomplish anything?
13738Did you get the custards?
13738Did you see anything? 13738 Did you see many dead and wounded?"
13738Did you see many dead and wounded?
13738Disobeyed orders? 13738 Do I get an iron cross?"
13738Do I? 13738 Do n''t I look it-- hysterical?"
13738Do n''t you see he''s getting you, Gene?
13738Do n''t you think that the blow on his head and the fever afterward has something to do with it?
13738Do you find it fattening?
13738Do you know whose property this is?
13738Do you like best to keep it all to yourself, Marta?
13738Do you recall what I said in the reception- room at the hotel?
13738Do you think it is right to tell?
13738Do you think it''s fake?
13738Do you think so? 13738 Do you think that I fainted purposely?
13738Do you think that the fellows on the other side of the frontier want to be killed?
13738Do you think they will come?
13738Do you want me to do that, sir?
13738Do you want to be killed?
13738Does he need to? 13738 Does she go into the tunnel?"
13738Does she think those hawk eyes will miss that little button of the panel door?
13738Eh, what? 13738 Eh?
13738Eh? 13738 Eh?
13738Eh? 13738 Eh?
13738Eh?
13738Fear?
13738Fear?
13738Finding enough work to do?
13738First, you dropped your rifle?
13738For experience does make a great difference, does n''t it?
13738Fright? 13738 General Westerling''s headquarters?"
13738Go?
13738Good- by, Lanny? 13738 Has it got on your nerves, too?"
13738Have n''t we got something that we could n''t get otherwise? 13738 Have you a lantern?"
13738Have you connected the wire to the telephone yet?
13738Have you gone insane? 13738 Have you gone out of your head?"
13738Have you lost your patriotism?
13738He is a spy?
13738Honest?
13738How can I tell you what I saw? 13738 How can the men have spirit when you feel that way?"
13738How can they be in my thoughts or yours?
13738How did it happen?
13738How do all your notions get into your head, Hugo?
13738How do they get through the line?
13738How do they know?
13738How do you do, flying soldier man?
13738How do you like that? 13738 How have I ever been able to go as far as I have?
13738How long will it take to mobilize?
13738How?
13738How?
13738I do n''t want to be killed, and why should I want to kill strangers on the other side of the frontier?
13738I have made my sacrifice to some purpose? 13738 I may come in?"
13738I s''pose there will be; but if you get that in your mind how can you fight?
13738I should not be fair if I did not, should I?
13738I suppose you have spies under his very nose-- in his very staff offices?
13738I was very strenuous riding my hobby against yours, was n''t I?
13738I wonder if it is really worth while to put him under arrest?
13738I wonder, now, I wonder if they can run any faster than I can?
13738I''m not dreaming?
13738I''m tired, just tired to death, are n''t you?
13738I-- you mean I was too detached? 13738 If there is war, the moment that Feller''s ruse is discovered he will be shot as a spy?"
13738If we get that we have the most vital position, have n''t we?
13738If you did not expect it, why did you enter the army?
13738If you win, then we shall be under your flag and pay taxes to you?
13738Into the very holy of holies of the great war machine, is n''t it?
13738Is Tom-- Tom Fragini here?
13738Is it a fact, Tom, or was you just joking when you wrote home that the soldiers took so many baths?
13738Is it much of a job, do you think?
13738Is n''t it damp and deathlike? 13738 Is n''t it wonderful?
13738Is n''t that coming around to my view, Marta?
13738Is n''t that my affair?
13738Is n''t that the finest law of all? 13738 Is n''t the position, which means the pass and the range, worth it?"
13738Is n''t there something else I can do to help with the wounded?
13738Is that so? 13738 Is that too strong?"
13738Is this the 53d?
13738It is a big thing, is n''t it?
13738It is her suggestion, not yours? 13738 It was n''t so very hard to say, was it?"
13738It was the Browns who cut the lindens?
13738It was the strain of war, was n''t it?
13738It will the sooner end fighting, wo n''t it, Lanny?
13738It''s all done to beat the Grays, is n''t it, Miss Galland? 13738 Just how long, at the present rate, will it take them to get the whole range?
13738Just like the old days, is n''t it?
13738Let me see, do I dine at the Countess Zalinski''s to- night?
13738Let them up the Bordir road and on to redoubts 36 and 37, you mean?
13738Major?
13738Marta, did any of the children come?
13738Marta, do n''t you hear me? 13738 Marta, if there were to be war very soon-- within a week or two weeks-- what would be your attitude about Feller''s remaining?"
13738Marta, please may n''t I come in?
13738Marta, you will promise not to remain at the house?
13738May we?
13738Mine against yours?
13738Miss Galland, is n''t it?
13738Miss Galland, you-- you were n''t there during the fighting?
13738My guns were firing at you? 13738 No more wool- gathering, eh?"
13738No nerves, did you say? 13738 No?"
13738Nothing at all in your own behalf?
13738Nothing?
13738Oh, what, please?
13738Oh-- oh-- can''t you go easier? 13738 One lump or two in your coffee, sir?
13738Partow gave you the positions?
13738Partow might have this dream before he won, but would he now?
13738Peterkin?
13738Right? 13738 Said our flag was no better''n any other flag, did he?"
13738Say, did you notice Dellarme''s smile? 13738 Say, you ai n''t been falling in love?"
13738She does? 13738 She knows who I am?"
13738Should I be enthusiastic? 13738 Since you''ve become such a great man?"
13738So that you can mow them down?
13738Something about an attack to- night?
13738Sportsmanlike? 13738 Still there, eh?
13738Still you would like to kill five to one, even ten to one, would n''t you?
13738Sue for peace because women go hysterical? 13738 Tea was from four to five, do you remember?
13738Ten years, is n''t it?
13738That is all?
13738That is how you happened to get the whole story? 13738 That''s in the line of duty for you and me, is n''t it?"
13738The Gray wounded?
13738The field- marshal was Partow, their chief of staff?
13738The gift? 13738 The little crawlers?"
13738The news? 13738 The sacrifice of lives then would be all the greater?"
13738The symbol of the conqueror, is n''t it?
13738Then I helped? 13738 Then Partow will not be in any danger?"
13738Then my shame-- my sending men to slaughter-- my sacrifice was not in vain?
13738Then the end-- then peace is so much the nearer?
13738Then water?
13738Then your losses were not heavy?
13738Then, why stay, Gustave? 13738 There are times when you must be firm with a woman, are n''t there?
13738They look well, do n''t you think?
13738This-- this is morning, is n''t it?
13738Though I fancy it is the other chief of staff who will have the work to do this evening, eh?
13738To carry out his plan, you mean?
13738Truly?
13738Veterans, you say, and seasoned? 13738 Walk?
13738Was it your guns that fired into the mêlée there by the gate?
13738Was that blow for him at the same time as for me?
13738Was the attack general all along the front?
13738We can win, then? 13738 We do forget it at tea, do n''t we?"
13738We have had a terrific argument, Lanny, have n''t we? 13738 We shall, eh?"
13738Well, Gustave, old boy, it ca n''t be that you are in touch with Westerling yet?
13738Well, Tom, how much longer you got to serve?
13738Well, did n''t you find what I said was true about the lowlanders?
13738Well, have you any other little tricks to show me? 13738 Well, if you do n''t want to fight, what are you in the army for?
13738Well, my boy, why are you hesitating?
13738Well, was Lanstron right?
13738Well, what, man, what?
13738Well?
13738Well?
13738Were there any reserves coming our way?
13738What are you doing here?
13738What are you waiting for?
13738What did you come into the army for, then?
13738What did you say in those letters?
13738What do lives mean?
13738What do you need? 13738 What do you think led to his departure?"
13738What do you think of this?
13738What for?
13738What happened to-- to that man who was pleading for death? 13738 What happened?"
13738What if every man held your views? 13738 What information have we about Engadir?"
13738What interested you most? 13738 What interests you so much down there?"
13738What is that?
13738What is that?
13738What is that?
13738What is the punishment?
13738What kind of spirit is there in doing the work of navvies? 13738 What next, Hugo?"
13738What staff- officer? 13738 What was the sublime thing?"
13738What you mean is that you will kill as many as possible of the Grays, is n''t it? 13738 What?
13738What?
13738When do we start? 13738 When not even a soldier in uniform is allowed to move away from his command without a pass?"
13738Where''s Stransky?
13738Where''s her father? 13738 Who do you think he accused?
13738Who if not you is entitled to the privilege of the staff council?
13738Who is in command?
13738Who put this on you?
13738Who was Dellarme?
13738Who would n''t sneak?
13738Whom have we lost?
13738Why are n''t you at a hospital?
13738Why did n''t I agree to her plan? 13738 Why have you gone on with the slaughter?
13738Why not give the public something else to think about?
13738Why not include Clarissa Eileen?
13738Why not tear out the telephone-- why not?
13738Why not? 13738 Why particularly care for one life when you deal in lives by the wholesale?"
13738Why should n''t I stay here? 13738 Why should n''t we think of the sky as heaven, as Nirvana?
13738Why should the chief of staff risk his life in this fashion?
13738Why think of my life when you are taking other lives every minute?
13738Why you and I?
13738Why?
13738Why?
13738Why?
13738Why?
13738Why?
13738Will it be ten years before we meet again?
13738Will they shell the town?
13738Will they? 13738 Will you get down?
13738Will you never stop your joking, you, Hugo Mallin?
13738Will you wait on the veranda?
13738With no result?
13738With the honors of war and officers permitted to retain their side- arms?
13738With what, now? 13738 Wo n''t you be seated, sir?"
13738Would that do you any good?
13738Would that stop the retreat of the army? 13738 Would you mind holding out your hand?"
13738Yes"Had you suspected me before that?
13738Yes, do n''t you?
13738Yes, my boy; and then?
13738Yes, past a wall of bayonets?
13738Yes, why should n''t I?
13738Yes, why?
13738Yes; do n''t these little bullets make neat little holes?
13738Yes? 13738 Yes?
13738Yes?
13738Yes?
13738Yes?
13738Yes?
13738Yet, what evidence have we that Partow or Lanstron has done more than to make a fortunate guess or show military insight?
13738You apparently know where your profession ought to feel perfectly at home-- but what is the use? 13738 You are sure that he has one?"
13738You are thirsty?
13738You did n''t know Ed Schmidt got it? 13738 You do think of that-- the lives?"
13738You have a home, a father, and a mother?
13738You have found that out, Marta?
13738You have information, then, information that I have not?
13738You heard about it?
13738You heard what he said, sir?
13738You kept on fighting to- day, but you wo n''t to- morrow, will you? 13738 You know the penalty for this?"
13738You know what that means-- the charges sustained?
13738You mean my story, too?
13738You mean that he knew how we should mow them down?
13738You refused to fight?
13738You saw our_ communiqué_ to- night that went with the publication of the Browns''despatch?
13738You saw something of the defence?
13738You sent for me?
13738You take all responsibility?
13738You think I am joking?
13738You think our staff led you wisely?
13738You think that you will win?
13738You think that-- you-- all of you?
13738You think we can continue to do so? 13738 You were in the big attack night before last?"
13738You will follow the staff?
13738You will let us do something for them?
13738You would not like to see thousands, hundreds of thousands, of men killed and maimed, would you?
13738You would want me to love you, would n''t you?
13738You''re not coming with us?
13738You''re real, are n''t you?
13738You-- you ai n''t going to bring one of them southern girls home?
13738You-- you were down by the road?
13738Your Excellency, may we send back for you, sir?
13738Your child?
13738Your name and regiment?
13738Your reasons? 13738 Your tendon of Achilles?
13738A coward-- do you hear?"
13738A few are up-- why do n''t they close in?
13738A lieutenant of a detachment of engineers coming at the double from a cross street stopped to inquire:"This way to the knitting mills?"
13738A racking sob, now, and silence; then, in the sudden effort of one who must change the subject to hold his sanity, she asked:"How is Feller?
13738Afraid in your youth of the burden that I bear in age?"
13738Afraid of duty?
13738Afraid to tell me the truth?
13738After they have taken the first line of defence-- and they will get it, wo n''t they?"
13738All my sacrifice is n''t for nothing?"
13738Am I not right?
13738An outburst of patriotism, concentrating every thought of the nation on war!--is that the way out?"
13738And after you have made them pay five to one or ten to one in human lives for the tangent, what then?
13738And had n''t the old premier, her grandfather, said:"You can afford to be fussed about little things but never about big things"?
13738And he was intelligence officer, was n''t he?"
13738And if you could kill five for every man you lost, that would be splendid, would n''t it?"
13738And our guns-- why do n''t they fire at a target before their eyes as big as a house?
13738And she sends her regards to her old gardener?
13738And sleep?
13738And the war goes well for you, does n''t it?"
13738And then the voice of Feller alone, insinuating, with a sinister mischievousness:"What more could you ask?
13738And what of those of Fracasse''s men who had not run but had dropped in their tracks when the charge halted?
13738And what right had he to think of marriage?
13738And what the devil was she going to do, anyway?
13738And when the war is over, may I come to call?"
13738And why not?
13738And why should n''t women engage in it?
13738And why?
13738And you have been all the time at La Tir, truly?"
13738And you will tell us when to go into the house?"
13738And your mother?"
13738And, Lanny, are you a person of such distinction in the business of killing that you also will be out of danger?"
13738And, Lanny, if I ring the bell you''ll answer, wo n''t you?"
13738And, let me see, you took two lumps, if I remember?"
13738Any other pessimists or anarchists want to be heard?"
13738Are n''t we all Browns, orderly and captain, boyish lieutenant and gray- haired general?
13738Are n''t you men?"
13738Are you a sleight- of- hand artist, too, Lanny?
13738Are you going to give me the information?"
13738Are you going to take a machine gun out of your hat?"
13738Ask-- ask what is the spirit of the staff, of the soldiers who have fought?
13738At the same point?"
13738Away fighting?"
13738Because God was still with the heaviest battalions?
13738Because Westerling had been too strong, too clever, for old Partow?
13738But I am bound to ask what orders?"
13738But if I had, could there be a better time?"
13738But little Peterkin, the question in his mind breaking free of his lips, unwittingly asked:"Shall-- shall we fight in the morning?"
13738But the part that Marta plays?
13738But we could n''t let Feller go, could we?
13738But what are soldiers against ghosts?
13738But what if he were to go on descending for hours; yes, for days?
13738But what if there were no police?
13738But what kind of love?
13738But where are_ our_ dirigibles?
13738But where is Gustave?"
13738But where is Major Dellarme?"
13738But where was the romance of the last war forty years ago?
13738But who could know better the craft of courtship than one of Westerling''s experience?
13738But wo n''t you ask Partow to do one thing, if he still insists that he is for peace?
13738But would one?
13738But, are you going to do your part?
13738Ca n''t you hear them?
13738Ca n''t you see them?"
13738Come, why not?"
13738Commanders had been told to hold, but how and where to hold?
13738Could anything be better than to have Westerling present if suspicions proved correct?
13738Could he accomplish it?
13738Could it be from the Browns celebrating a repulse?
13738Could it be true that she had betrayed every decent attribute of a woman in vain?
13738Could n''t I help you with the appeal?
13738Could she only look on in a fever of restlessness while action roared around her?
13738Could this be that terrible Partow, a stroke of whose pencil had made the Galland house an inferno?
13738Did I?"
13738Did any one who had been engaged in killing men who wanted to live kill the one who wanted to die?"
13738Did he get his guns?"
13738Did he long for mamma to tuck him among the goose feathers, with a sweet biscuit in his paddy?"
13738Did he or any other conqueror ever acknowledge a success due to the despised outcasts who brought him information?
13738Did n''t Mrs. Galland believe that blood would tell?
13738Did n''t we go to school together?
13738Did n''t you say they shrieked as well as groaned and moaned once about 3 A.M.?"
13738Did she expect him?
13738Did she know what she was saying?
13738Did the Grays, then, really owe two of their fairest provinces to the lady who had jilted him?
13738Did they follow?
13738Did they guard the treasures of their libraries and galleries?
13738Did you go into all the dungeons?"
13738Did you really find it so bad for discipline in your own case?"
13738Did you see that hand twitching in his pocket?
13738Did you wave your acknowledgments to Lanny,''?"
13738Do I?"
13738Do n''t we know that Napoleon had moments of privacy when he whined and threatened suicide?
13738Do n''t you believe there are?"
13738Do n''t you like flowers?
13738Do n''t you want to see?"
13738Do they still have that toast, Colonel?"
13738Do you realize what that means-- the honor and the power that will be ours?
13738Do you really think they will?"
13738Do you suppose that the Browns will listen now when they think they have the advantage?
13738Do you think I''m afraid?
13738Do you think if it were given to the world that the Grays would still come on?
13738Do you want the distinction of being a traitor-- one lone traitor in your loyal province?"
13738Does n''t my children''s oath say:''I''ll not let a burglar drive me out of my house''?"
13738Eh?
13738Eh?
13738Eh?
13738Entering the cut, he was halted by the challenging cry of"Who goes there?"
13738Feller?"
13738First, you, Armand; do you?"
13738For what am I?
13738From the upper terrace came a great voice, like that of the guns, from a human throat:"Why did n''t we level those terraces?
13738General Westerling, have you ever been under fire?"
13738Had any one of these four heroes of the Grays in their heavy gilt frames divined what kind of a to- morrow his day was preparing?
13738Had ever any martyr shown a finer spirit dying for any cause?
13738Had he stopped with the repulse of the enemy?
13738Had he, the chief of staff, been beguiled into making a woman his confidant in military secrets?
13738Had it been right to intrust such responsibility to one man of Partow''s age and right to transfer that responsibility to himself in an emergency?
13738Had n''t Westerling answered all doubts with the aphorism,"It is a mistake for a soldier to think too much"?
13738Had n''t he as much right as anybody to use the public highway?
13738Had n''t the telegraphers, those silent men who were the tongue of the army, received the good news and passed it on?
13738Had she been guilty of giving him hope?
13738Had she depths that he had not fathomed?
13738Had she sent_ him_ to death?
13738Had that chance shell turned the scales?
13738Had the Browns really tried for peace?
13738Had the connection been broken?
13738Had they an inheritance of great ages of art, literature, music, and philosophy?
13738Had they reasoning minds?
13738Had they the religion of Christ?
13738Had they, in the spirit of her oath, appealed to justice and reason?
13738Have n''t the Browns held their line with inferior numbers?
13738Have n''t you any forked tails, either?
13738He was going mad, you mean?"
13738Help about what?"
13738Him a baby?
13738His visits to Marta were his holidays?
13738Home?
13738How could I?"
13738How could a woman ever have learned two such vital secrets?
13738How could any one ever go to school with me and not be a great man?
13738How could he expect her to interest herself exclusively in him as one human being when all human beings interested her so profoundly?
13738How could it happen that two such critical points as Bordir and Engadir should go undefended?
13738How could she ever begin anew?
13738How could they falter directed by a woman unmindful of occasional shells and bullet whistles?
13738How did I get through this last scene?
13738How did she get her knowledge?
13738How did you find out?
13738How did you guess we were here?"
13738How does he feel now?"
13738How does he get the information to the enemy?
13738How is he?
13738How long could his company endure this?
13738How long the strain on our finances, the suspense to the markets?"
13738How much can a soldier carry and how best carry it easily?
13738How would you feel if a neighbor entered your house and made it his own?
13738How would your father and mother feel?"
13738How''s your rheumatism?"
13738How, sir?"
13738How?"
13738How?"
13738I am helping, Lanny?
13738I am sure I can get something worth while with you to direct me; do n''t you think so, Lanny?"
13738I asked Lanny to tell you; did he?"
13738I believe you profess, too, to protect property, do you not?"
13738I could n''t stomach it, could you?
13738I hoped--"Was he testing her?
13738I really helped?"
13738I was not human?"
13738I wonder if he will chuckle or laugh at my suggestion, or will he grin or roar?
13738I''ve had wine enough; but would you cut me another slice of bread?"
13738If Feller''s plan succeeds it means that you will know where the Grays are going to attack?"
13738If Hugo Mallin had been called a coward, what of himself?
13738If a biscuit shot out from the pocket of a corpse, would n''t the living hand grab for it in brute greediness?
13738If trouble never comes singly, why should n''t joys come in a pour?
13738In the tone of the question,"You''ve been hurt?"
13738Is everything to be destroyed-- everything to satisfy the appetite of savagery?"
13738Is he doing well?"
13738Is his race becoming decadent?
13738Is it because you are ashamed of your profession?
13738Is it extravaganza?
13738Is n''t it like some good story?"
13738Is n''t it true?
13738Is n''t it, Marta?"
13738Is n''t it?"
13738Is n''t that patriotism?"
13738Is n''t that what we have all been thinking and desiring?
13738Is n''t this the fellow that Lanstron got off?"
13738Is that it?"
13738Is that it?"
13738Is that so?"
13738Is that the word, Jake?"
13738It does not pain you?"
13738It is not bad?
13738It was her voice, come out of the distance, that asked, without any inflection except that of tense curiosity:"May we see the letter?"
13738It was pretty fun, was n''t it?"
13738It will be of vital service?"
13738It''s all of two years since we met at Miss Galland''s, is n''t it?"
13738It''s only a quarter of an hour now, is n''t it?"
13738It''s peace, peace-- isn''t it to be peace?"
13738Just what had he told her?
13738Keep what?"
13738Lanstron always asked himself this in a crisis: What would Partow say?
13738Marta, will you never be serious?"
13738Me-- afraid?"
13738No bones, no skulls-- not even any anklets fastened by chains to the clammy, wet stones?"
13738Not as gay as in your day, that''s sure, when you were in the Hussars, eh?"
13738Of course, you''ve heard about the hand?
13738On the point of arguing, he caught a mischievous, delightful"Is n''t that so?"
13738On what meat had our Cæsar fed that he had grown so great?
13738Or are they curled up nicely inside your trousers''legs?''"
13738Or fall into each other''s arms and sob?
13738Or from the Grays after taking the position?
13738Or would the very first bullet go through his head?
13738Or, as he puts it, are the younger generation without sand in their craws?
13738Or, did you see one and not dare to go on?
13738Ought I to tell you?"
13738Our own original trunk- tunnel private line?
13738Patriotism?
13738Say, shall we give them a few?"
13738Shall I get them on the telephone?"
13738Shall we charge them now we''ve got the support of the guns?"
13738Shall we fight?"
13738She offers herself?
13738She wants no persuasion?"
13738Should I view the prospect with an old- fashioned Hussar''s hurrah?"
13738Should he let her make the sacrifice of everything that he held to be sacred to a woman''s delicacy?
13738Should he not return to the telephone and tell her that he would not permit her to play such a part?
13738Show that it is all a woman''s hysteria-- for we are all hysterical, are n''t we?
13738Snug behind sand- bags you will tear the flesh of our comrades to pieces, will you?
13738So this is your tendon of Achilles, eh?''
13738Talk about your old- fashioned, take- snuff- my- card- sir courage, pray- and- swear courage-- what about this?
13738Tell me"--his whisper was quivering with eagerness--"shall we fight?
13738Terrific, do you say?
13738That is what you live and plan for, is n''t it?"
13738That was what we were told to do, was n''t it, sir?"
13738That''s a fair question, is n''t it?"
13738That''s a woman''s privilege; one men grant, is n''t it?"
13738That-- that will help, wo n''t it?"
13738The game of solitaire?
13738The general''s staff watching the course of the action by the billows of black smoke?
13738The glitter of buttons and the pomp of showy uniforms?
13738The information is worth something to you?"
13738The longer the war lasts the greater will be the loss of life and the misery?"
13738The staff exchanged glances of amazement, and Turcas, his dry voice crackling like parchment, exclaimed:"Attack again?
13738The telephone still continues to work?
13738The world at large, after rubbing its forehead and readjusting its eye- glasses and clearing its throat, exclaimed:"Why not?
13738The wounded like flowers, do n''t they?
13738Then I thought, can I be worthy of this-- of what you have done for me, giving me back my own world, your world?
13738Then he asked the stereotyped question:"What have you to say to them?"
13738Then he opened his lips and whispered to the doctor:"How is it?"
13738There we come to the kernel in the nut, eh?"
13738VIII THANKS TO A BUMBLEBEE"Has he changed much?"
13738War, do you hear that, you plebeian trousers of the deaf gardener?
13738Was Feller still happy in playing a stream of lead from the automatic?
13738Was Feller''s the sentiment of the army?
13738Was Lanny one of those black specks that peppered the slope?
13738Was he playing a part of his own to make certain that she was not playing one?
13738Was he still smiling?
13738Was he?
13738Was he?
13738Was her charm a charm with a purpose?
13738Was it conceivable that the change was not due to a personal feeling for him?
13738Was it not natural that a woman with more than her share of intellectual perception should be on the right side?
13738Was it possible that the Whole idea of the teachers of peace was an invention to make conversation at his expense?
13738Was it this that gave to war its halo-- this offering of the most valuable thing man possesses to sudden destruction that made war heroic?
13738Was n''t he a free man?
13738Was n''t he a woman- hater?"
13738Was n''t he called to the colors at the outbreak of the war?"
13738Was n''t he in the reserves if he were a Brown?
13738Was n''t it part of my plan-- my dream-- that plan I gave you to read in the vaults, to strike if a chance, this very chance, were to come?
13738Was n''t that what you wanted me to do, sir?"
13738Was n''t the nation growing stale from the long peace?
13738Was n''t war the real cure for the general unrest?
13738Was she expected to make a choice?
13738Was she posing at that instant for his benefit?
13738Was she teasing him?
13738Was the revelation the more vivid because it had not once occurred to her since the war began?
13738Was the second charge of the Grays, which must have come to close quarters when the guns went silent, going to succeed?
13738Was there any hope of saving it?

13738Was there something in her that had led him on, a shame that came natural to her since she had let Westerling proceed with his love?
13738Was there something more than"newspaper talk"in this latest diplomatic crisis between the Grays and the Browns?
13738We ca n''t wait, can we?"

13738We will do nothing to arouse the war passion?''"
13738Well--"he was looking straight into Lanstron''s eyes,"well, I think we know the point where we could draw them in on the main line, eh?"
13738Were n''t they both made of flesh and bone and blood and nerves?
13738Were the Browns not to stop at the frontier?
13738Were they grown men?
13738Were they of the great races that had given the world steam- power, electric power, anæsthesia, and antiseptics?
13738Were they to change their song to,"Now we have ours we shall take some of theirs"?
13738Were they to scream?
13738What about Grandfather Fragini, who would fight on principle whenever a Gray was in sight?

13738What answer had he to this?
13738What are high- angle guns for, anyway, with such targets naked over our lines?

13738What hope have you for your ruse, then?"

13738What purpose is there in the rebellion of a grain of sand on the seashore, in the insubordination of one of five million soldiers?

13738When were they going to shoot?
13738Where are our high- angle guns?"

13738Where the glad songs going into battle?
13738Where was her courage?
13738Where was there any more prey?
13738Which side should that be?
13738Which was it, the good or the bad?
13738Who had laid it?
13738Who if not he had the right to go where he pleased in the Brown lines now?

13738Why did he keep the truth from us?
13738Why did n''t Partow speak, too, as chief of staff, if he is so fond of peace?
13738Why did n''t they fire?
13738Why did n''t you put it that way before?"

13738Why do you want to save the women?

13738Why had n''t she thought of it before?
13738Why had the counter- attack failed?
13738Why make us suffer the consequences without sharing the glory of the deed?"
13738Why not consider this one a sacrifice in common for the glory of a victory in common?
13738Why not?
13738Why not?
13738Why should n''t every wife and mother be here in the fire zone?
13738Why should n''t they bear their share?

13738Will you take your place with your rifle?"
13738Will you?"
13738With a speech or a lullaby?
13738Without him-- what then?
13738Wo n''t you come in, sir?
13738Would he be shot in many places and die thus?
13738Would he get the return?
13738Would he stop now?
13738Would n''t that give him a surprise?"
13738Would not his sensations finally wear themselves down to a raw, quivering brain and the brain at length grow callous?
13738Would that make it right?''"
13738Would the Grays get into the breastwork?
13738Would they overrun the house, her mother''s room, her own room?

13738Yes, what are we doing?"
13738Yes, what if she were found out?
13738Yes, what would defeat mean to_ him_?
