20862Jerry, Jer- ry,a little louder,"where are you?"
20862Jerry, Jerry?
20862Me? 20862 Now, why have they crept in that narrow crack to talk?"
20862Oh, it''s Paddy, is it?
20862Was n''t it a smart trick?
20862Well, Jerry, be quick; what can I do for you this afternoon?
20862What are we going to do about it, children?
20862What on earth are you doing here alone?

20862You''ll be there to help, if I get caught? 20862 You''re certain no harm will come from spiking the drink?"

20862Ai n''t I always been a man of honour?"
20862And as for their bodies-- well, did you ever see one that was not that fat that any thief at all could n''t outrun?"
20862And then what?
20862And, as she got her breath, she said:"Have you ever been to the river, dearie?"
20862Are they needing a new man?"
20862Are you the burglar?"

20862cried Mr. Morton,"I''m to be robbed and drugged, am I?"
33393And guns?
33393Are you suffering now?
33393Are you suffering, dear?
33393At least, I did-- that is, unless you are actually too ill to spare me.... How is a man to know?
33393But is it death?
33393Coming home to lunch?
33393Could n''t you sit up-- if I held you? 33393 Dear,"she said distinctly,"did you have the tooth out?
33393Did I ask for it?
33393Did she speak to you when you went out?
33393Did you give me chloroform?
33393Did you lose the case, poor dear?
33393Do n''t you remember when you got out of bed?
33393Do you call her dead?
33393Do you give her up?
33393Do you mean to tell me I never went on that accursed cruise-- with a fool gun-- to murder ducks... and left my wife dangerously sick? 33393 Does her heart beat?"
33393Esmerald?
33393For God''s sake, man, are n''t you going to_ do_ something?
33393Gas, then?
33393Give me a minute, Romer, to think it over, will you?
33393Have you had an ill turn?
33393How can I get a telegram off?
33393How did you happen to be on the lounge?
33393How long had she been alone?
33393How long,demanded Dr. Thorne suddenly,"has she been like this?"
33393I''ll get word to the office; they can manage without me, somehow-- that is, if you''ll promise to get me back in a week?
33393Is there any pulse?
33393Is there no heart- beat yet? 33393 It''s a buggy-- looks a little like Thorne''s, does n''t it?
33393Jean?
33393Just come in here before you go up, will you?
33393No? 33393 Oh-- ducks?"
33393Oh--_ducks_?
33393Papa,said Pink,"do you expect Mummer Dee to make a very_ long_ visit in heaven?
33393Quarrel? 33393 Road?"
33393Say, Romer, what''s the amount of danger? 33393 Say, old fellow,"he said slowly,"I hope there was n''t any sort of a quarrel,--you know,--any domestic unpleasantness, before you came on this trip?
33393Shall I call the doctor?
33393Shall I go-- or not?
33393That''s the rope you tie your anchor to? 33393 There will be guns?"
33393To dinner, then?
33393Well, Jean?
33393Were there any symptoms of this heart- failure then? 33393 What I wish to know-- what I insist on knowing-- is, what caused this attack?
33393What did she say?
33393What is it--_mal de mer_? 33393 What time?"
33393What''s a case? 33393 What''s happened?"
33393When did she die?
33393Who knows? 33393 Who was with her?"
33393Will you go up and see her first?
33393Wo n''t you come in a minute?
33393You are going in a boat?
33393_ Dear?_she called then, in an agitated voice; it was not like hers, and not like her; if he had perceived this-- but he perceived nothing.
33393--"was Romer''s yacht lying out in the river then?
33393A long contention?
33393A short, sharp thrust?
33393Agony?
33393And if he loses?"
33393And if you could contrive to keep Pink, too--"What is it, Kate?
33393But I''m getting better, dear-- don''t you see I am?
33393Ca n''t anybody in this house do anything for me?
33393Ca n''t you detect_ any_thing?"
33393Ca n''t_ you_ think of anything more we can do for her?"
33393Could n''t you amuse him, somehow?
33393Did I have another tooth out-- after all that-- happened?"
33393Did it hurt you very much?
33393Do you want to be put ashore?"
33393Even if you had n''t-- You do n''t bear pain, you know, Avery, with that composure"--"Armstrong?
33393Have you got''e toofache?
33393He had several letters to write, too,--one to his partner, one or two to clients, and one-- well, why not?
33393He made an instinctive movement towards her; the child ran to him; he caught her, and kissed her little hands and hair, and Pink said:"Crying, Papa?
33393He thought:--"I wonder when she got the telegrams?"
33393His wandering spirit-- gone; who knew how?
33393How had it all come about?
33393How is Helen''s cold, doctor?"
33393How was she to forego it, when the time came that it might-- she omitted to acknowledge to herself that it would-- overlook her again?
33393I ca n''t get down, myself.... Is it Mr. Avery?
33393I demand the nature of it-- physical?
33393I should fink it was time for her to come home, by supper, should n''t you, Papa?"
33393I should have sent a tug after you if it had n''t been for the gale-- What do you take me for?
33393I''ll try--"Did you speak to me, Molly?
33393I''m not-- just myself.... Why do n''t you speak to me?
33393Nobody else?
33393Now"--"Now what?"
33393Oh, what had he been to her-- his poor Jean?
33393Or even to bring him to, for that matter?
33393Or was she so ill that people were sending flowers, as people do, for lack of any better way of expressing a useless sympathy?
33393Or what a blank of a time they had to fish him out?
33393Romer, what''s the matter?"
33393Say rather, why had it faltered?
33393She had made a science of wifehood, and applied it with a delicate art.... Why had it failed?
33393Some ladies''lunch?
33393Struggle, or calm?
33393Stupor?
33393The attention of his whims?
33393The blunt edge of his sympathy?
33393The fragments of his time?
33393The passing of his moods?
33393Wants me?
33393Was Jean entertaining?
33393Was it you kept me here in this blanked chair while my wife was dying?"
33393Was she fretful with the first baby?
33393Well, busy, bustling man-- out of his bounteous health and freedom, what comfort had he given to this imprisoned woman?
33393Were n''t you there?"
33393What are you going to do?"
33393What else concerned, or, indeed, what else could interest her?
33393What for?"
33393What had he done to her?
33393When had it begun to flag?
33393When the two men went downstairs, the doctor said,--"Your pardon,--if I wronged you, Avery?"
33393Where are you going?"
33393Where is that hot water?
33393Why not write one to his wife?
33393Why should she know that he went overboard in the process?
33393Why tell her how long the tender had tossed about like a chip in that whirlpool?
33393Wo n''t you express a wish?"
33393Wo n''t you_ say_, Jean?
33393You here?
33393You will keep perfectly still till then.... Mr. Avery is in town?"
33393emotional?"
33393he repeated,"are you awake, my darling?
33393mental?
33393or nostalgia?
33393piteously,"my wife is n''t_ living_--is she, Armstrong?"
33393who knew where?
14610''And if I do?'' 14610 ''And you know every body?''
14610''How strangely things come about, mamma?'' 14610 ''Next morning at breakfast father said:"Tommy, how came the dog in the upper hall last night?
14610''Perhaps you know of some house- cat dead or gone away?'' 14610 ''What are you doing down there?''
14610''What fellow? 14610 ''What is the fuss about?''
14610''What would mother say? 14610 ''What''s the matter?''
14610''Why not?'' 14610 ''You''d rather I told you about it?
14610A horse story,she said pleasantly;"yes, why not?"
14610Ai n''t it like_ folks_, Miss Ruth?
14610And how did he shut it after him?
14610And what became of poor Brownie?
14610And what did your mother do?
14610But they ca n''t talk, Auntie?
14610But what was in the brown package? 14610 Ca n''t she ever be made well, Susie?
14610Ca n''t they swim?
14610Can you imagine the scene that followed? 14610 Certainly not,"Mrs. Elliot said;"but are you well enough to undertake it, Ruth?"
14610Did you really used to set a chair for her at the table and let her eat with the folks?
14610Have n''t we had a gay old time,said Roy, on the way home,"and ai n''t you glad I put you up to coming, Sam Ray?"
14610He looks awfully; is he going to die?
14610How did Parson Lorrimer feel? 14610 How fast will he go?"
14610How long will he have to stay down there?
14610Instead of next Wednesday?
14610Is it a true story?
14610Is n''t he a beauty? 14610 Is n''t he rather a self- conceited old horse?"
14610Is n''t it open to the objection you made to Mollie''s choice a while ago, Susie?
14610Is that his name?
14610Like the Shetland ponies at the show?
14610Miss Elliot''s compliments,she said,"and would the Bed- quilt Society accept some gingerbread for luncheon?"
14610Miss Ruth, if you had a horse now that jibbed, would you lick him?
14610Now where shall I put him, Miss Ruth?
14610Really, now, do the chippies get up first in the morning?
14610Sammy,she said,"is n''t there a field of tobacco near where you live?"
14610Say, Sam, you ask her, will you?
14610Was n''t it lucky that the gathers ripped?
14610Was n''t that nice of Miess, Auntie?
14610Well, sir, I went out there and I stood around a while, and says I,''What''ll you bet I ca n''t get your horse to the top of the hill?'' 14610 Well, what does Roy say?"
14610What I want to know,said Susie,"is, If the ant- cities are underground, how can any one see what goes on in them?"
14610What are you two doing?
14610What became of Dinah at last, Miss Ruth?
14610What color?
14610What did Miss Betsey and Miss Sally do?
14610What is that, Nellie?
14610What is the matter?
14610What was it, Roy?
14610What work have you on hand?
14610Where could we meet, Aunt Ruth?
14610Where that spot is, that looks like an eye?
14610Who shall come after the king?''
14610Why do n''t he speak for himself?
14610Why do n''t you ask her yourself?
14610Why not?
14610Why, it''s like-- it''s like--"What is it like, Sammy?"
14610Why, what harm do they do?
14610Will you tell us about it?
14610Would you?
14610Yes,said Mollie;"and of course Nellie Dimock would dream about cats, would n''t you, Nell?
14610Yes; and if they lived on bread and butter''t would cost a lot to feed''em, would n''t it?
14610Yes; is n''t it a pretty name? 14610 You do n''t think--_do_ you think, Miss Ruth, that she understood what was said and knew if she stayed she would have to be killed?"
14610You see that plank bridge yonder, over the creek? 14610 ''Law, Doctor, do n''t I know it?'' 14610 ''Ridiculous, is n''t it? 14610 ''Well,''says I,''will you let me try just for fun?'' 14610 ''Why, what_ should_ he call,''he wanted to know,''with the sun shining in at both windows?'' 14610 And Roy, do you like horses very much?
14610And says I:"Father, do n''t you mean to take him round to Station C this morning?"
14610And who of all cats is the belle?
14610Ar''n''t you afraid she''ll spoil the fun?"
14610But I think five dollars is cheap enough for a dog that can tackle a burglar and scare off tramps and pedlars-- don''t you?''"
14610But she walks about the garden sometimes with a crutch, does n''t she?"
14610But what availed their efforts?
14610But what can I do, you silly thing?''
14610Ca n''t I give her a saucer of milk?''
14610Devotional, faithful, affectionate one, If owning these virtues when only a pup, What will you be when you are grown up?
14610Did n''t you read about it in the newspaper?
14610Do n''t they act for all the world just like folks?
14610Do n''t you remember that story you used to tell us long ago?"
14610Do n''t you think so, Auntie?"
14610Do n''t you wish you''d done it?"
14610Do you agree?"
14610Do you happen to have heard any thing of him?''
14610Good?
14610Have you considered how utterly unfitted you are for the life to which you aspire?
14610Have you ever seen a tobacco worm?"
14610Have you seen him?
14610How dare you quote your mother to me?
14610How did he lay the fellow on his back?
14610How did it happen, Fannie?"
14610How would that do?"
14610I do n''t think yellow is a pretty color for a dog, do you?
14610I think it makes her forget the pain,""Is it the pain that keeps her awake at night, Susie?
14610If that there sailor feller stole the horse he sold in such a hurry to parson, why did n''t the owner make a hue and cry about it, and follow him up?
14610Illustration:"What''s the matter?"
14610Is there any thing you ought to be doing at home?"
14610It''s pleasant out- of- doors, is n''t it?
14610May I have her for mine?''
14610May I open the door?''
14610Mollie said;"her name was Furry- Purry, and she lived with Granny Barebones, and there was Tom-- Tom-- some thing; what_ was_ his name?
14610Now, then, are we ready?"
14610Now, was n''t that cute?"
14610O Miss Ruth, was the poor little thing dead?"
14610Rhodes,''said I,''how do you know this kind of worm makes butterflies?''
14610Say, Auntie, was n''t he?"
14610Say, what is he going to turn into?"
14610See that horn on his tail?
14610So I steps up and says to the bulldog''s master,"Why do n''t you call off your dog?"
14610Sue, I think it''s going to be real jolly, do n''t you?"
14610Susie and Mollie, have I any more cat stories worth telling?"
14610That would n''t be_ opening_ the gate, would it?"
14610Then he pulled out the wooden pin of the barn- door, and it swung open by its own weight-- see?"
14610Then the children in the family would think so much more of it-- don''t you see?
14610They ran thus:--''Who is it that I love so well?
14610To whom does that cat belong, Winnie?
14610Velvetpaw, you have lived a long time in this neighborhood?''
14610Was n''t I a silly?
14610Was n''t it a pity?
14610What became of her?"
14610What do you say, girls?
14610What do you suppose that boy would take for him?"
14610What does_ he_ know about war?
14610What was it the little bird was saying over and over again, as plain as plain could be?
14610When he has worried me to death, wo n''t you be sorry you drove me to such a fate?
14610Where did you get the dog, Tommy?"
14610Where?
14610Who at the table takes her seat With all the family to eat, And picks up every scrap of meat?
14610Who broke the lamp, and in the gloom A ball of fire flew round the room, And just escaped an awful doom?
14610Who watched beside me every day, As on my feverish couch I lay, And whiled the tedious hours away?
14610Who, to defend her kittens twain, Flew at big dogs with might and main, And scratched them till they howled with pain?
14610Whose diamond is so snowy white?
14610Whose silky fur is dark as night?
14610Whose yellow eyes are big and bright?
14610Why must the pretty dears be hidden away in that musty place?
14610Will that suit you, Sammy?
14610Will you bring me a fresh leaf every, morning?"
14610Will you please tell us about some of the other kinds you have kept?"
14610Wo n''t she be glad?
14610Would he sell, the minister asked, on this side of the water?
14610You were lonesome out there in the shed, were n''t you, Grip?
14610_ May_ I have her for mine?
14610and Robber Grim?
14610are n''t you ashamed of yourself?
14610ca n''t you?
14610do you know?
14610how could you be so clumsy and awkward?''
14610said Captain Bobtail''s Brownie, with a coquettish turn of her head;''but come, now, what shall we do?''
14610said Charlie;''where is he?''
14610said Charlie;''will he turn into a butterfly?''
14610said her mother,"what made you climb the five- barred gate?"
14610says mistress, says she,''have we got down so low as that?
14610that lady said,''with your soft white paws and yellow coat,''"''May I have her for my cat, mamma?''
14610what was to be done?
14610where?''
14610will you?
14610you was all right inside, was n''t you?
39812''Did you know there was anything wrong?'' 39812 ''Who could''what, Miss Lilly?"
39812Ai n''t he all right again by this time?
39812Allegory, do you mean?
39812And has Jesse Piggot been mixed up with them lately?
39812And have n''t I grown?
39812And is n''t it delightful that I managed to get back on my birthday after all?
39812And what do you do in the evenings?
39812And where are you living, then?
39812Antlers, is n''t that what you mean?
39812Are we to do any lessons to- day?
39812Are you feeling better, Ferdy dear?
39812Are you feeling better, Master Ferdy, dear?
39812Are you making something?
39812Are you not talking too much?
39812Are you so sure of that?
39812Better than lemonade? 39812 But what do you want_ me_ to do?"
39812Could not I be carried down there, papa?
39812Design?
39812Did he begin the fight then?
39812Did you tell him I was better?
39812Do n''t you remember, Jesse, I said you should give it to Master Ferdy yourself?
39812Do n''t you, Christine? 39812 Do you mean modelling it?"
39812Do you mean that he is really going to get better? 39812 Does it hurt you, Master Ferdy?"
39812Does she?
39812Ferdy, my boy, will you let us try?
39812Have I hurt myself? 39812 Have you ever seen any modelling?"
39812Have you washed your hands, Jesse?
39812He may, may n''t he, Miss Lilly?
39812He''s spoken to you, mamma? 39812 How could the_ swallows_ know, even if it had been real and not a dream?
39812I looked up, thinking I might see the swallows or martins, whichever they are, and I called out,''Oh, wo n''t you come down and speak to me? 39812 I may tell him, may n''t I, mamma?
39812In the house of the world?
39812Is Ferdy to do lessons in bed?
39812Is Jesse not even to come as far as Bollins?
39812Is he-- is he alive?
39812Is n''t he looking well, mamma?
39812Is n''t he_ perfect_, Chris?
39812Is n''t it really capital, Dr. Lilly? 39812 It is only-- something we''ve tried not to think about, have n''t we, Chrissie?
39812It''s far too good for Jerry, or for any donkey, is n''t it? 39812 Look, grandfather, do n''t you think I may run down and ask Mrs. Ross to let me bring him in for a few minutes?"
39812May Chris and Miss Lilly come back now?
39812May n''t I gallop him, papa, this afternoon when we go out? 39812 Oh, you are_ sure_ he is n''t going to get worse?"
39812Oh,_ may_ I? 39812 Papa, mamma,"he whispered,"is it time to get up?
39812Shall I have to stay in bed all to- morrow?
39812Then the young lady did n''t tell you?
39812Then they wo n''t think anything of it if they do n''t see you to- morrow?
39812There''ll be no more classes then, I suppose?
39812Was n''t it a pity to take him away from Farmer Meare''s?
39812Was there a window like that in the house the little fairy had to build, do you think, Miss Lilly?
39812We shall be back soon-- won''t we, Miss Lilly?
39812Well, suppose he_ had_ come here, you ca n''t take him up for that?
39812What did he say?
39812What did you promise him, Miss Lilly?
39812What is it you want of me?
39812What is it, Thomas?
39812What is it, dear? 39812 What is that, Jesse?"
39812What is the-- mamma, why are you crying?
39812What sort of things?
39812What was he after now? 39812 What was it?"
39812What''s I to do else, miss?
39812What''s all this?
39812What''s he been doing?
39812When can he come again, do you think, Miss Lilly?
39812Where is Miss Lilly?
39812Who gave you leave to come up here and disturb an invalid?
39812Who?
39812Who?
39812Whom do you think I met yesterday afternoon on my way home, Ferdy?
39812Why, what have you got there?
39812Will he,_ will_ he?
39812Will you ask the big doctor the next time he comes, mamma? 39812 Would Miss Lilly stay to have tea with Miss Christine and Master Ferdy?
39812Would you like any of those?
39812Would you like to see him very much?
39812You did n''t care for being away, did you? 39812 You do n''t now think Jesse need give himself up to the p''lice?"
39812You have not seen him since this morning?
39812You will tell Mr. Brock about it?
39812_ Are n''t_ you joking?
39812= Rhyme?
39812And as Ferdy''s face lightened up at the mention of his friend''s name--"He has n''t told you about it himself, surely?"
39812And could you get some moss, Miss Lilly?
39812And then he asked if he might send you his''respexs''and''Was there any birds''eggs you''d a fancy for?''"
39812And then raising her voice a little,"Grandfather,"she said,"would you mind coming over here to look at Jesse''s carving?"
39812And then--""What?"
39812And what are those other parcels you''ve got?"
39812And what''s the other parcel, Chrissie?"
39812And you have n''t any very bad pains, have you?"
39812And, Walter, have you sent for the doctor?"
39812Are n''t you awfully glad you''re in here?
39812Are n''t you going to bed?"
39812Are they shaking hands and talking to each other?
39812Are you going to tell Miss Lilly, mamma?"
39812At last said Ferdy, his words tumbling over each other in his eagerness,"Miss Lilly, Chrissie, is n''t it wonderful?
39812At least, not much?"
39812But oh, Chrissie, I_ do_ wonder what papa''s and mamma''s present is going to be-- don''t you?"
39812But what''s that you''ve got wrapped up so tight, Jesse?"
39812But why are n''t you in bed, and why is there a light in the room?
39812Can you get off for half an hour on Friday about this time, Jesse?"
39812Chrissie,"and here he fixed his blue eyes-- so like his mother''s-- on his sister''s face,"_ do_ you think it''ll be a very long while?
39812Could it be an accident?
39812Could it be going to thunder?
39812DID YOU CALL ME?"
39812DID YOU CALL ME?"]
39812Did ever five minutes pass so slowly?
39812Did you call me?"
39812Do n''t you, Miss Lilly?"
39812Do you hear what Jesse says?
39812Do you really mean that you cut it out yourself, Jesse?
39812Do you see that, my boy?"
39812Do you think they saw you running this way, Jesse?"
39812Do you think,"and his voice grew still more solemn,"that p''r''aps I''ll never be able to stand or walk again?"
39812Do you understand at all what I mean?"
39812Do you, Miss Lilly?"
39812Does Miss Lilly look sorry?
39812Ferdy has never been selfish, has he, Miss Lilly?"
39812Have you any other bits of carving by you that you could show me?"
39812Have you any pain anywhere?"
39812Have you been wandering about by yourself all day?"
39812Have you done other things like it?
39812Have you had a good night?"
39812Have you sent him to the hospital?"
39812He ca n''t be dead, Master Ferdy,"he went on, dropping his voice--"you do n''t think he can be?
39812He is a pony a girl can ride too, is n''t he?"
39812He murmured something that sounded like"All right, thank you, miss,"but added almost immediately in a brighter tone,"How is Master Ferdy, please?"
39812He really looks as if he was just going to open his mouth to gobble up his dinner, does n''t he, Miss Lilly?"
39812How are you going to do about it, Walter?"
39812How clever you are getting, and how did you manage to work it all without my seeing?"
39812How did you get on while you were away?"
39812I thought-- I thought-- mamma kept shut up in the room, and nobody would tell me-- do you really think he is going to get better soon?"
39812I wonder why he is n''t at school?
39812I''ve brought your present-- mine''s always the first, is n''t it, darling?"
39812If you meet him, please thank him for asking if I was better, and do you think mamma would let him come in one day to see me?
39812If you see Jesse again will you tell him he must never take more than one, Miss Lilly?"
39812Is it-- my birthday?"
39812Is n''t it_ capital_?
39812Is n''t that Jesse Piggot standing at the gate?
39812Is n''t that Jesse, standing at the gate?"
39812It did rather sound, Chrissie, as if they thought I''d have to stay a long time here in bed, did n''t it?"
39812It is n''t that he''s not going to get better-- that he''s going to get_ worse_?"
39812It was a funny dream, Ferdy, was n''t it?"
39812It would n''t be half so nice in your own room for seeing out, would it?"
39812Jesse Piggot?
39812Mamma, do n''t you see?
39812Meare''s?"
39812Miss Lilly, do n''t you think I might try to_ draw_ one?
39812Miss Lilly, do you think I''ll ever be able to bathe in the sea again?
39812Miss Lilly--""What, dear?"
39812Now that it is all settled?
39812Of course,_ the_ present of presents would be--""We fixed not to speak about it, do n''t you remember?"
39812Oh dear, did I fall off my beautiful pony?
39812Oh, Chrissie, you must tell Miss Lilly about the swallows, and-- and-- what was it I wanted to ask you?"
39812Oh,"he went on, turning to his sister, and speaking almost in a whisper,"_ do_ you think it can be-- you know what?"
39812Scarcely had he done so when there came a subterranean whisper,"Master Ferdy,"it said,"shall I come out?"
39812Shall I run and meet Miss Lilly, and bring her straight up here?
39812Supposing the other boy started it?"
39812Supposing_ he_ were to be a cripple?
39812Then all three of you come round to the porch, but Ferdy must shut his eyes-- tight, do you hear, young man?
39812Then turning again to Jesse,"To- morrow is Sunday,"he said;"do you generally go to see your friends at Draymoor on a Sunday?"
39812They_ are_ splendiferous, are n''t they, Chris?
39812Thomas is all right, and nobody else saw you come up, did they?"
39812Was it for fear of that that the doctor would not let him get up?
39812Was it only a heap of clothes that had dropped there somehow?
39812Was it possible that this little atom of a stone-- or rather its absence-- was what had spoilt the whole piece of work?
39812Was it quite wise of her to do so?
39812Was it the gloomy afternoon, or the being so long alone, or what?
39812Was that how cripples felt?
39812What did he say?
39812What do you-- think, Merton?"
39812What had put it into his head?
39812What is it that is bleeding?"
39812What is it you call them, Miss Lilly?"
39812What more did the swallows say?"
39812What o''clock is it, Flowers?"
39812What was the"it"?
39812What would he do if it went on for weeks-- perhaps months?
39812Where had he run to?
39812Which way did you drive to Freston?"
39812Who are they all, Jesse?"
39812Who can it be?
39812Who knows what may come of it?
39812Why was she lying there?
39812Will you tell your father, Barney-- is it to your father''s house that Jesse goes on Sundays generally?"
39812Would you like a drink of milk?"
39812You do n''t want to get up just yet, do you-- not till you feel stronger?
39812You know it, of course?
39812You must have watched this old fellow pretty closely to understand his look, have you not?"
39812You were walking along and the sky was so wonderful?"
39812You wo n''t open your eyes till papa tells you, will you, Ferdy?"
39812[ Illustration:"WHAT IS IT, DEAR?
39812he exclaimed, in a choking voice,"may n''t I come in?"
39812what do you mean?"
18665A girl-- whom you did n''t know at all-- sent you a blanket- wrapper?
18665A little quarrel? 18665 A whole week-- seven days and nights?
18665Aloud?
18665Am I interrupting you?
18665Am I interrupting you?
18665And a mantelpiece with a clock on it?
18665And if''she''were a girl?
18665And when it comes to asking personal questions, how dared you send me printed slips in answer to my letters to you? 18665 Annoying Molly?"
18665Annoying_ my_ Molly? 18665 Are you a good boy?"
18665Are you good enough for-- my-- little Molly?
18665Big chair-- open fire?
18665Boston? 18665 Boston?"
18665Burn up my letters?
18665But Cornelia?
18665But why?
18665Could n''t you_ please_ tell a fellow who you are?
18665Cut it out? 18665 Cut it out?"
18665Cut it out?
18665Cut what out?
18665Did I like it?
18665Did I really like it?
18665Did I_ like_ it?
18665Did n''t I have the pleasure of choosing your winter hat for you? 18665 Did you really like it?"
18665Do n''t you know-- don''t you know that I''m-- engaged to be married?
18665Do you know much about Vermont?
18665Do you mean that there is someone else?
18665Do you mean that you are tired of it?
18665Engaged to be married?
18665Equivalent to one whole week''s subscription?
18665Find out? 18665 Find out?"
18665For other people?
18665Have I told my fiancà © e about it?
18665How could any girl-- write all that nonsense?
18665How dared you-- How dared you go into the love- letter business in the first place?
18665How many did I write you?
18665How many men? 18665 I can really love you now?
18665Is it your head that''s spinning round?
18665Is she a Boston young lady?
18665Is that why you broke it off?
18665It is''Merry''for the dog?
18665Just two men besides yourself, I said, did n''t I? 18665 Love_ us_?
18665Maple- sugar? 18665 Maple- sugar?"
18665Meredith--( Did the little dog stir?
18665Meredith? 18665 Nonsense?"
18665Not exactly thoughts concerning_ you_, even so, are they?
18665Now you remember it, do n''t you? 18665 Oh, Carl dear, you silly boy, WHY do you persist in hectoring me so?
18665Oh, it''s a jolly little beggar, is n''t it?
18665Oh, please may I have that piece of cold toast?
18665Poor dear, you''ve been pretty sick, have n''t you?
18665Read that, will you?
18665Returning my presents?
18665Say,said the detective,"were you going up to the hotel first?
18665Sent you a printed slip?
18665Surely you do n''t think that you''d be able to recognize me in my street clothes, do you?
18665Surely you''re not worrying any more about your rheumatism?
18665The Meredith homestead?
18665The only''flesh- and- blood''girl?
18665Then, are there two chairs?
18665To cancel my debt for the fifth day,she said,"do you really''honest- injun''want to know who I am?
18665Wait a whole hour to see what Molly looked like? 18665 Well, what answer did you get?"
18665Well, where in thunder--?
18665Well, why do n''t you go ahead and find out?
18665Well,_ will_ you call it an equivalent to one week''s subscription?
18665What about Cornelia?
18665What are you doing?
18665What do you call a realish sort of letter?
18665What if this old clock has n''t moved a minute in forty years?
18665What in creation are you so stuffy about?
18665What is this?
18665What''s bothering you, Stanton?
18665What''s that you say? 18665 What?
18665What?
18665What?
18665Who are you? 18665 Who are you?"
18665Who happen to love_ us_ most?
18665Why not?
18665Why, did n''t I?
18665Why, do n''t you know that if it had n''t been for you I should have gone utterly mad these past few weeks? 18665 Why, what are you people doing with all my letters and things?"
18665Wo n''t you mind unless you are spoken to by name?
18665Would it be all right for me to read another?
18665Would it be all right for me to read one?
18665You do n''t even remember me_ now_?
18665You do n''t mean-- since you''ve been sick?
18665Your affections? 18665 Your affections?"
18665_ Just_ gone south?
18665_ Would_ you call it-- an-- equivalent? 18665 or''Shall I sonnet- sing you about myself?
18665A cinnamon rose, would you say-- a yellow, flat- faced cinnamon rose?
18665A trifle paler?
18665All decided in your mind that I am an aged invalid?
18665And as to my Face--_am I really obliged to have a face_?
18665And did the tom- boyish sling- shot fit by any possible chance with the dainty, feminine scrap of domestic embroidery?
18665And was the empty purse supposed to be especially significant of an inordinate fondness for phonograph music-- or what?
18665And your wife will keep saying, with just a barely perceptible edge in her voice,''Carl, do you know that red- haired girl whom we just passed?
18665And_ cute_?
18665Apparently she did not even see the suitcase but,"Oh, are you leaving town?"
18665Bankrupt'', is it, that you really say?"
18665But at least she did go by: And is my hair so very blond?"
18665But how about the pucker along your spine, and the awfully foolish, grinny feeling around your cheek- bones?
18665But how can I settle with you?
18665But if you were oldish, I say, and pitifully''shut in'', just how would you go to work, I wonder, to rest your personality?
18665But what did I tell you?
18665But,''tell her about it''?
18665But-- the-- ghost-- of-- a-- thing-- that-- you''ve-- never-- yet-- found?
18665By any possible chance was it meant to be a joke?
18665Ca n''t you see that it''s nothing in the world except a perfectly delicious, perfectly intangible joke?"
18665Can you smell the white birch smoke in this letter?"
18665Carl, what do you mean?"
18665Could n''t you please give me a chance?
18665Did he sit up?)
18665Did you notice your copy was marked?
18665Do I live in a house you would like to see?''
18665Do any of these other types suit you better?
18665Do n''t you know the funny little old song about''Molly Make- Believe''?
18665Do you dare smile and suggest for a moment that just because of the Absence between us I can not make myself vivid to you?
18665Do you remember?
18665Does she think I''m going to risk choosing a tom- boy girl if the gentle little creature with the pansies is really herself?
18665Especially if it was the only possible way you could think of to square up everything and add just a little wee present besides?
18665Find out?
18665For heaven''s sake, who''s loving you_ now_?"
18665From Squirrel or Pirate or Hopping Hottentot-- what did it matter to her?
18665Funny, is n''t it?
18665Had she been frightened, for instance-- way down in the bottom of that serene heart of hers had she been frightened?
18665Has she been ill long?"
18665How for instance could you take your biggest, grayest, oldest worry about your doctor''s bill, and rouge it up into a radiant, young joke?
18665How many men are you writing love- letters to, anyway?"
18665I do n''t remember your ever saying anything about a"Molly".--Just someone you used to know?''
18665I have n''t had anything to eat to- day; and--"[ Illustration:"What?"
18665I?
18665In the ensuing desperate struggle for life had she struggled just one little tiny bit harder because Stanton was in that life?
18665Is she so very ill?"
18665Is she very ill?
18665It is n''t just rheumatism that''s keeping you thin and worried looking, eh?
18665It''s only that you find yourself suddenly in the embarrassing predicament of being engaged to one girl and-- in love with another?"
18665It''s what we would''like to be''that really tells most about us, is n''t it, Carl Stanton?
18665Let me see,--it was brown, with a pink rose-- wasn''t it?
18665Long as the rouge and the lace are fair, Oh, Mr. Man, what do you care?"
18665Long as your lips are framed for a joke, Who can prove that your heart is broke?''
18665Meredith?"
18665Molly Make- Believe?"
18665No actual proof even of''seared and yellow age''?
18665No curly- haired, coquettish attractiveness that the shampoo- lady and the photograph- man trapped me into for that one single second?
18665No deceptive profile of the best side of my face-- and I, perhaps, blind in the other eye?
18665No mere pink and white likeness?
18665Not quite so lusciously fragrant as those in your grandmother''s July garden?
18665Now do you know what I''m going to do to you?
18665Now-- this minute?
18665Oh, is that why Molly has been crying so much ever since she came home?"
18665Perceptibly cooler?
18665So it is a picture of_ me_ that you want?
18665So that''s the game, is it?
18665So would n''t you-- couldn''t you please call my coming here this evening an equivalent to one week''s subscription?"
18665So you do ask to be released?"
18665Something forced into blossom, perhaps, behind brittle glass, under barren winter moonshine?
18665Speechless with astonishment, Stanton lay and watched his visitor, then"Well, which one would you choose?"
18665Talked with you?
18665That I''ve simply_ got_ to have a face?
18665Then,"But it''s hardly fair-- is it-- to weigh a boxful of even the prettiest lies against five of even the slimmest real, true letters?"
18665Then,"Did you like the idea of the''Rheumatic Nights Entertainment''?"
18665Waltzed with you, perhaps?
18665Was his quest really almost at an end?
18665Was it possible?--was it really possible?
18665Was it-- was it?
18665Was the young lady as intellectual as the Robert Browning poems suggested, or did she mean simply to imply that she_ wished_ she were?
18665What shall I read to you?
18665What was it going to mean to him?
18665What''s the use of showing you any more of this nonsense?"
18665What?
18665Where now was Stanton''s boasted sense of honor concerning the ethics of playing the game according to directions?
18665Why do you persist, for instance, in wanting to see my face?
18665Why what could I possibly, possibly do with a great solemn name like''Meredith''?
18665Why, man, if it was only your affections, do you suppose I''d be wasting even so much as half a minute''s worry on you?
18665Why, man, in ten thousand years, and then some, how could I make any sane person understand?"
18665Will you forgive me utterly if I hereby promise never to deceive you again?
18665Wo n''t it be fun?
18665Wo n''t you please come to me?"
18665Would he, I say-- would he?"
18665Yes!--But crying would n''t''comfy''you any, would it?
18665You did n''t really mean to let yourself lift the page and smell it, did you?
18665You have n''t said a single sentimental thing about her that I have n''t scoffed at-- now have you?"
18665You mean''as much'', do n''t you?
18665You say I''ve seen you before?
18665You''ve got me now, you think?
18665[ Illustration: He unbuckled the straps of his suitcase and turned the cover backward on the floor]"The''minor results''?"
18665[ Illustration: Some poor old worn- out story- writer]"Have you told your fiancà © e about it?"
18665[ Illustration:"Are you a good boy?"
18665_ Who are you anyway?_"The oriental lady jumped up in alarm.
18665_ Would_ you?"
18665_ Yet do one thing at least I can, Love a man, or hate a man!_''"or just''Escape me?
18665_ us_?
18665cried Stanton,"why do n''t you let somebody help you?
18665she asked abruptly,"why, if you''re engaged to be married, did you come and-- buy love- letters of me?
18665she stammered"What?"
18665what have I got to prove that it is n''t even an old man-- some poor old worn out story- writer trying to ease out the ragged end of his years?"
41708Again, Jack dear? 41708 Ai n''t there some way I might earn the money?"
41708Am I to get the coffee?
41708An orphan, eh?
41708And would you be willing to stay here?
41708And you did n''t tell him where we was?
41708And you''ll go, of course? 41708 Are you Aunt Nancy?"
41708Are you certain Bill Dean knows where he lives?
41708Are you goin''to leave this place to- day?
41708Are you goin''to make her do all the work?
41708Are you so stupid that you ca n''t tell one wagon from another?
41708Bless my soul, what has put that idea into your head, my child?
41708But how can you do it if the ship has blowed up?
41708But how did it come here?
41708But how''ll you prevent it if he starts right in an''begins to lug us off? 41708 But if she did n''t go to pieces why has n''t the captain come after his son?"
41708But if the ship was blown all to pieces?
41708But what about Louis?
41708But who''s to pay for her?
41708But you never found anybody, did you?
41708But, Aunt Nancy, you do n''t mean that I am to stay in the house with the doors locked all the forenoon, do you? 41708 Can you lift it, Jack dear?"
41708Can you read?
41708Can you stand up?
41708Certainly, my child; and this is a church, for do n''t you remember it is said''the groves were God''s first temples''?
41708Did he say I could have some money?
41708Did n''t you mix up the harness when the circle met here, and did n''t you try to drown the baby?
41708Did they come here to take us away?
41708Did they hurt you very much?
41708Did you get along all right, Jack dear?
41708Did you know, then, that Louis''mother was huntin''for him?
41708Did you tell his father?
41708Did you wake Louis?
41708Do I want you? 41708 Do n''t you think it would be lonely when winter comes, and you would be obliged to remain a greater portion of the time in the house?"
41708Do you feel quite certain of that?
41708Do you know what catnip is when you see it growing?
41708Do you know what one is worth?
41708Do you like to go to sea?
41708Do you mean plantin''seeds an''makin''''em grow?
41708Do you mean to- night?
41708Do you really think you could get back before sunset?
41708Do you s''pose he has found out anything about Louis''s father?
41708Do you want me to keep on roughin''it into him?
41708Does he know the captain?
41708Does that mean you ai n''t goin''to leave?
41708Had n''t we better have a doctor?
41708Had n''t you rather keep it? 41708 Handsome, is n''t it?"
41708Has the farmer gone?
41708Have n''t got anything to say, eh? 41708 Have n''t you done anything about going to camp meeting, Nancy Curtis?"
41708Have n''t you got an old dress like the one I wore? 41708 Have you always lived alone?"
41708Have you got a gun or a pistol?
41708Have you got any idea what the jobs''round here might be?
41708Have you got any money?
41708How can we reach him?
41708How could I when he''d threatened to send us to the poor farm?
41708How could I when we did n''t know where you was? 41708 How did the accident happen?"
41708How do you make that out?
41708How do you make that out?
41708How do you make that out?
41708How long before your father''ll be back?
41708How long do you say the summer should last?
41708How many years?
41708How much do you count on earnin''?
41708How much of that time would it be necessary for me to stay in the store?
41708How''s Aunt Nancy by this time?
41708How?
41708How?
41708I ai n''t troublin''of her, am I?
41708I do n''t allow there''s any bad news, eh?
41708I do n''t reckon he''s thinkin''of comin''here this summer?
41708I do n''t suppose they stole it, did they?
41708I s''pose I look pretty rough, do n''t I?
41708I suppose Nancy Curtis told you to get rid of me as soon as possible; what you did in the dining- room was n''t enough, eh?
41708I''d like to know, Sarah Souders, why you think Jack is''worthless''?
41708If he ca n''t help us, what are Louis an''I to do?
41708If you have n''t money enough, why not leave me an''Louis here alone? 41708 In what way?"
41708Is he still huntin''?
41708Is he very bad?
41708Is it about Farmer Pratt you want to say something?
41708Is it about the cow?
41708Is it for Aunt Nancy?
41708Is n''t this yours, ma''am?
41708Is that the little woman up on the Saco road with a couple of curls an''a mighty sharp tongue?
41708It ai n''t likely anybody will go out to the barn till after supper, is it?
41708Louis''mother in Portland?
41708Matter? 41708 May come?
41708Me drown a baby?
41708Now tell me where you came from, and why it is necessary to ask for a home?
41708Now what_ are_ we going to do?
41708Now where''ll we stay to watch the fun?
41708Of course I did, or else why would I have gone gallivantin''''round the country lookin''for him?
41708Shall I carry it to the post- office?
41708Shall I tell her so?
41708Ship blowed up, eh? 41708 So you''re still here, eh?"
41708So you''re tryin''to hide behind Aunt Nancy''s apron strings, eh?
41708Something for me? 41708 The reward?"
41708Then it is settled, you will go?
41708Then no one else paid for the cow? 41708 Then why did n''t you tell her?
41708Then would it be too much of a walk for you to go to Treat''s store?
41708Thought you could do it all yourself, eh?
41708Took me a long while, did n''t it?
41708Want to have a dicker of some kind, eh? 41708 Was that all you came here to say?"
41708Well, both of us could n''t be away at the same time, an''--"Why not?
41708Well, s''posen they did, what would that''mount to side of makin''you feel good? 41708 Well, what do you think of it?"
41708Well, you would n''t like to have him lug us off if you knew we''d got to go to the poorhouse, would you? 41708 Well, you young scoundrel, what have you to say for yourself after cheatin''me out of one hundred dollars?
41708Well? 41708 Well?"
41708Well?
41708What are you doin''there?
41708What can you do?
41708What do you count on doin''?
41708What do you intend to do with them?
41708What do you mean by that?
41708What does he say about it?
41708What for? 41708 What for?
41708What good would that do?
41708What have you that I can use as a weapon?
41708What is it?
41708What is the matter?
41708What is your idea of going there?
41708What made her blow up?
41708What makes you jump down on me?
41708What shall I do?
41708What was goin''on down there?
41708What will she do when the boarders come?
41708What''s the matter now?
41708What''s the matter with him?
41708What''s the matter with my goin''after it?
41708What''s the matter with you?
41708What''s the matter with your nose? 41708 What''s the matter, Jack dear?"
41708What''s the matter? 41708 When are you goin''?"
41708When does it begin?
41708Where are you bound, Jack?
41708Where are you hurt, William?
41708Where are you, Jack?
41708Where did your folks useter live?
41708Where do you live?
41708Where is the baby?
41708Where is your wife?
41708Where''s Binghamton?
41708Where''s Louis?
41708Where_ have_ you been, and what_ have_ you done to yourself? 41708 Which doorstep?"
41708Who are you?
41708Who is that?
41708Who''s dallying now, Aunt Nancy?
41708Who''s she?
41708Why did n''t you call me before?
41708Why did n''t you git back before? 41708 Why did n''t you say so before, when I had a chance to get away?"
41708Why did n''t you stuff his skin an''set it up on the road here, so''s other fellers would know enough not to stop?
41708Why did n''t you tell me about it?
41708Why do n''t you come out of the sun? 41708 Why do n''t you go there?"
41708Why do n''t you go? 41708 Why do n''t you hold on a while an''get rested?"
41708Why do you do so much unnecessary work, Jack dear?
41708Why is it you do n''t want me to go?
41708Why not decide now?
41708Why not go to bed?
41708Why not have both kinds?
41708Why not let him walk? 41708 Why not let me go and tell him what you want?"
41708Why not?
41708Why, ca n''t you see how easy it''ll be then? 41708 Why, ma''am?"
41708Why, what has happened, Jack dear?
41708Why, what have I done?
41708Why, what is the matter?
41708Why, what''s the matter?
41708Why, what_ has_ happened to you, Jack dear?
41708Why_ is_ he so possessed to send you to the poorhouse?
41708Will it be a reg''lar meetin''where people preach an''pray like they do in a church?
41708Will it, really?
41708Will you give me one?
41708Would you be gone as long as that?
41708You ai n''t goin''to tell him about their poundin''me, are you?
41708You are, eh? 41708 You ca n''t walk even so far as Saco, an''where''ll you sleep to- night?"
41708You remember the paper which William Dean brought last night?
41708You?
41708You_ do_ act the same as own folks, and I wonder if Mrs. Littlefield will take as much comfort with you as I have?
41708Are you awake?"
41708Are you going to write a letter?"
41708Are you going visitin''?"
41708Are you hurt much?"
41708Are you sure he did n''t play in the sun while I was away?"
41708Besides, do n''t you believe Mr. Souders could make them let me out?"
41708Can you lend me the cripple for a while, Aunt Nancy?"
41708Can you read writin''?"
41708Can you see anybody in her?"
41708Did n''t you send her over to tell my father that I was goin''to drive you out of town, an''did n''t she let on about the lickin''we give you?"
41708Did the deacon get his full share of that Mocha she bought?"
41708Did you ever do any gardening, Jack?"
41708Do n''t you remember what Dr. Watts says about letting''dogs delight to bark and bite, for''tis their nature,''et cetera?"
41708Do n''t you think you could get me some water?"
41708Do you fancy it has ever been out of my mind?"
41708Do you think he can be sick?"
41708For an instant the two stood gazing at each other in perplexity, and then Aunt Nancy asked sharply,--"How long since you saw him?"
41708Had we better have them roasted or boiled?"
41708Has he been doing anything out of the way?"
41708Have n''t I heard you cry often enough to know that?"
41708Have you been havin''a great deal of trouble with Bill Dean?"
41708Have you seen that Dean boy again to- day?"
41708He was now thoroughly awake, and as the hand was removed from his mouth he asked in a low tone,--"Are you certain of that?"
41708Her thoughts had gone trooping down the dusty avenues of the past, and after waiting fully a moment Jack asked,--"Where is the young gentleman now?"
41708How could I do that when you_ are_ here?"
41708How''d that happen?"
41708How''s the old lady after her trip to the grove?"
41708I suppose they have come to make a call, and what_ will_ they think at seeing the house in such confusion?"
41708I wonder if Bill Dean''s crowd will try to get hold of Louis again?"
41708I wonder if you could n''t wait on the table?"
41708If the ship exploded there''s no one for you to go home to, and what_ will_ become of such a helpless pair?"
41708Is Louis worse?"
41708Is that so?
41708It shines like a new three- cent piece already, and how are you goin''to make it look any better?"
41708It''s you, eh?"
41708Jack drew a long breath as if the pleasurable surprise was almost overpowering, and then asked slowly,--"Do you really want me to live here?"
41708Jack held Louis meanwhile, and before Aunt Nancy was ready to take him again he asked in a low tone,--"Do you think there is any chance he would die?"
41708Jack said nothing, and Aunt Nancy asked, as the crimson spots appeared on her cheeks,--"Has William Dean been troubling you again?"
41708Jack wheeled out the vehicle she designated, and then asked,--"Now will you tell me which is your harness an''horse?"
41708Jane Hayes, will you go with me, or do you prefer to remain?"
41708Littlefield or his wife are alive unless we go to find out?"
41708Littlefield?"
41708Mr. Souders came from the shed as the hunchback alighted, and cried in his hearty, cheery voice,--"What do you think of that, lad?
41708Now do n''t you think it would be better to tell him I was n''t here?"
41708Now what_ shall_ we have for supper?"
41708Now, the question is whether I shall make his frock with a yoke, or plain?
41708Say, Aunt Nancy, would you lend me a lead pencil an''a piece of paper?"
41708Say, Tom, have you got the papers that tell about Mrs. Littlefield huntin''for us?"
41708Say, what of that man who was over here huntin''for you?"
41708So she lied to me, eh?"
41708So you''re the hired man, are you?"
41708The boy was silent for a moment, and then he asked abruptly,--"You pray for everything you want, why do n''t you do it now so he''ll be sure to live?"
41708Then going to the door of the"fore- room"and knocking gently, he said in a low tone,--"Aunt Nancy, could you spare me a little while?"
41708Then he ate rapidly, and after emptying two bowls of milk, asked,--"May I put some of the bread in my pocket?''"
41708This time there could be no mistake, and he ran toward Aunt Nancy as he asked,--"Do you hear that noise?
41708Thornton?"
41708Treat after what I said?"
41708We are told of the reward which--""Who said anything about a reward?"
41708Well, what have you got to show up?"
41708What are you doin''here?"
41708What do we keep up sich institoots for?
41708What do you think, Jack dear?"
41708What is it, Deacon?"
41708What is to be done?"
41708What is your opinion?"
41708What''s your name?"
41708What_ do_ you suppose they wanted?"
41708What_ shall_ we do?"
41708Where are you goin''now?"
41708Where are you?"
41708Where do you count on goin''?"
41708Where do you hail from?"
41708Where do you suppose he could have gone?"
41708Where''d you come from?"
41708Where''s Louis?"
41708Whereabouts was she?"
41708Why not stay?"
41708Why should n''t Aunt Nancy pay for things the same as anybody else?"
41708Why was I so weak as not to give the dear boy a decided answer when he came from the barn?"
41708Why, Jack, how can you treat it so lightly?
41708Will he be here soon?"
41708Will you dress and come down?"
41708William might be at home, and who knows what would happen?"
41708You can dress and give him some bread and milk?"
41708You did n''t sail them many miles in this''ere little boat?"
41708You do n''t mean to tell me Sarah Souders gave one right out?"
41708You wo n''t care if you have to put on a dress for a little while, will you?
41708Your wife did the whole thing?"
41708[ Illustration:"Does that mean you ai n''t goin''to leave?"
41708[ Illustration:"Where are you hurt, William?"
41708_ Do_ you hear that?"
41708_ is_ he going?
41708and_ must_ we be in fear and trembling of him all the time we stay?"
41708is that it?"
41708one of the strangers asked,"an''where did you come from?"
41708who can that be driving up the lane?"
41052''As soon as the rain stops?'' 41052 ''Lucky?''
41052A burgoo?
41052A museum? 41052 A new position?
41052A silver lining to what cloud, Ned?
41052A three- foot rise? 41052 Ah, Mr. Hallowell?
41052And he gave you the wampum in payment?
41052And that funny, grass- green cabin, set on wooden stilts, up that little hill-- that play- house?
41052And the little white glove?
41052And this is your sister, Miss Hallowell? 41052 Anything we two can help about?"
41052Are n''t you shocked at folks that eat in their kitchen?
41052Are we really going to Mrs. Chrisenberry''s? 41052 At what time had we best start back to Saint Louis?"
41052Burgoo? 41052 But how will you bring it up to camp?"
41052But wo n''t it put you to a lot of trouble, sir,asked Burford,"to take the hands off their regular farm- work in that way?"
41052Ca n''t we help you with the clothes first?
41052Ca n''t you start the pumping engine, boys? 41052 Ca n''t you stop long enough to go to church with me, even?
41052Come along-- where?
41052Conover?
41052Could I do some of the work for you, Rod?
41052Crosby? 41052 Did n''t the doctor order you to spend a dull summer?
41052Do n''t I know, sure? 41052 Do we go on up- river after nightfall?
41052Do you not agree with me, Mr. Crosby? 41052 Do you realize that by making that move we shall risk wrecking the dredges?
41052Does n''t she like to look at pictures? 41052 Five hundred damages?
41052For those babies? 41052 For three hundred, is it?"
41052Half- back? 41052 Has something gone wrong with the work?
41052Have n''t you just said that you could n''t stand it to be left behind? 41052 Have n''t you time to pass the time o''day?"
41052Have you lost your last wit, Ned?
41052He did? 41052 Help things along?
41052Here, where''s Smith?
41052How are you feeling this fine, muggy morning?
41052How are you, Mr. Burford? 41052 How can you work here?--or sleep, either?"
41052How do they go about digging those ditches? 41052 How far up is the cave- in, Mulcahy?"
41052How on earth can you entertain such high mightinesses?
41052How should I know he was a friend of yours, commodore? 41052 How will you live?"
41052I do wonder----"Ye''re lookin''at me keepsakes?
41052Is it?
41052Is n''t he sumptuous, though?
41052Is n''t it, Marian? 41052 It''s a queer way to spend Sunday, is n''t it, Sis?
41052It''s nice while they''re little, is n''t it?
41052May I come in? 41052 Mercy, what is that?
41052Miss Hallowell, will you go and bring Sally Lou? 41052 Miss Hallowell?"
41052Mr. Carlisle is mighty brave, is n''t he? 41052 Of Stephen A. Douglas, the famous orator?
41052Oh, you and Sally Lou have made a play- house of that platform? 41052 Payment?
41052Quinine?
41052Rod, what did that messenger boy bring? 41052 Rod, what do you mean?
41052Rod, why do n''t you answer me?
41052Sally Lou, are you daft? 41052 So you want to thank me for this job, eh?
41052Take you up to the cave- in, you mean? 41052 That grand big cat of yours, ma''am?
41052That letter? 41052 The coal shipment?
41052The dipper- bail broken_ again_? 41052 The dipper- handle?
41052The_ Queen_? 41052 Think you can see all right?"
41052Think you dare ask her to take down her barb- wire barricade and lay away her shot- gun? 41052 This is a real sterling- silver lining to our cloud, is n''t it, Hallowell?
41052Those horrid flat- boats heaped with coal?
41052Those red and blue pencils of Rod''s, you mean? 41052 Tired, Sis?"
41052We''ve been counting the hours till we should dare to go to call on Miss Northerner, have n''t we, kiddies? 41052 Well, what if it does take all afternoon?
41052Wet weather for putting in your garden, is n''t it?
41052What about the lower laterals?
41052What can we abandon? 41052 What do ye say, sir?
41052What does ail his highness? 41052 What does district drainage work mean, anyway?"
41052What has happened? 41052 What is a barbecue, pray?
41052What is that queer box- shaped red boat, set on a floating platform?
41052What more can we do? 41052 What of them?
41052What sort of a day was it, Sis?
41052What''s the news, I say? 41052 Whatever ails you, Burford?"
41052Where are you bound, Rod? 41052 Where did that pup come from?
41052Where is Roderick, Ned?
41052Where is your boat, sir? 41052 Who has been overhauling my desk?
41052Why are you taking all those time- books, Rod? 41052 Why do n''t you come up to the Gates farm- house and sleep there?"
41052Why does n''t the company send you a book- keeper?
41052Why not? 41052 Why not?"
41052Why? 41052 Why?"
41052Why?
41052Will I talk to the commodore? 41052 Will you look at that old yellowed pilot''s map and certificate in the acorn frame?
41052Will you show me how to steer? 41052 With this big search- light?
41052Ye''ll sit here, behind the wheel, and watch me swing herself up the river? 41052 You do n''t propose to leave Mount Vernon Street for the wilds of Illinois without a struggle, do you, Empress?"
41052You mean that you must work on the contract all day Sunday? 41052 You surely think I''m a goose, do n''t you, to bring my gold teaspoons, and my wedding linen, and my finest tea- set down to a wilderness like this?
41052You think it''s as bad as all that?
41052You think that I can be a help to Rod? 41052 You''re expecting your launch, Miss Hallowell?
41052_ Where_ did you learn to handle a baby like that?
41052''To save''--to save_ what_?
41052''To save--''Surely he meant for us to save the dredges?"
41052A Chicago call?
41052A special- delivery letter?
41052Am I such a poor stenographer?"
41052And did n''t they roll you in warm blankets, and then bandage your poor little throat with goose- grease and camphor and red pepper?"
41052And if you really need somebody to talk to their wives and be gracious and all that, why ca n''t Mrs. Burford do it better than I?
41052And the captain-- what will he say?"
41052And the launch?
41052Another break in the machinery?
41052Anything doing to- day?"
41052Are n''t we rushing the whole plant to the danger notch of speed as it is?"
41052Are n''t you a competent engineer?"
41052Are they safe, no matter how high the water may rise?"
41052Are you actually planning to ask her for the right of way?"
41052Are you hurt?
41052Are you ill?
41052Are you never going to tell me what is in that letter?"
41052As to being cut off from my friends-- aren''t you the best chum I ever had?
41052As to home comforts-- isn''t it home, wherever we two are together?
41052Ask him to come on deck and talk to Hallowell, of the Breckenridge Company, will you?"
41052Breckenridge_ who is speaking?
41052Burford, what ails you?"
41052Burford?
41052Burford?"
41052Burford?"
41052But does n''t it just rest your heart to look at it?
41052But how can they hold you back, Rod?
41052But how did you dare to bring your little children down here?
41052But is that all that you have to tell me, Ned?"
41052But what makes you speak so queerly, Rod?
41052But where is Mulcahy?
41052But where shall we dine?"
41052But why do you ask such questions?
41052But, Rod, where can I stay?
41052But, in high wather, whoever expects a Mississippi packet to be on time?
41052CHAPTER II TRAVELLERS THREE"Ready, Marian?
41052CHAPTER IX THE MAGIC LEAD- PENCIL"Bad news, is it?"
41052CHAPTER VII THE COAL AND THE COMMODORE"Ready for breakfast, Miss Hallowell?"
41052CHAPTER XI A LONG PULL AND A STRONG PULL"What is the latest bulletin, Sally Lou?"
41052CHAPTER XII PARTNERS AND VICTORIES"What time is it, miss?"
41052Ca n''t I drive you to Mr. Gates''s?
41052Ca n''t you ask Mr. Gates to hitch up and bring you down to camp right away?
41052Ca n''t you stay to lunch, Marian?
41052Can you beat that?"
41052Carlisle?"
41052Could the work stand a three- foot rise?"
41052Did ever ye hear of the Little Giant?"
41052Did ever you see such a beautiful grouch?"
41052Did n''t he prescribe bread and milk and sleep?"
41052Did n''t they teach you geography at Wellesley?
41052Did n''t you bully me into giving up to your wishes, by threatening to refuse this position unless I''d come West with you?
41052Did n''t you drag me out here willy- nilly?
41052Did n''t you ever have the croup when you were young, Miss Northerner?
41052Did n''t you hear Mrs. McCloskey praise it, too?"
41052Did n''t you say you''re living on the drainage job?
41052Did you ever in all your life see anybody change as she has done?
41052Did you rig up this whole contrivance, all for me?
41052Do n''t you mind about them red pencils?"
41052Do n''t you remember, three months ago, how you fretted and hesitated about taking the position that you are holding to- day?
41052Do n''t you want to catch that nice birdie?"
41052Do ye remember?
41052Do you feel like tackling your job again, Burford?"
41052Do you realize that your playful little game will cost the company a lawsuit and a small fortune besides?"
41052Do you remember the figures?"
41052Do you remember what I told you last week about the law that governs the taxing of the land- owners for the making of these ditches?"
41052Do you see us putting in that cheery news?"
41052Do you see, that means we''ll make a new channel for the whole stream?
41052Do you see?"
41052Do you see?"
41052Do you see?"
41052Does n''t central answer?
41052Dress up in my best, and come down to camp at nine in the morning, and on Sunday morning at that?"
41052Especially on Ned''s account, do n''t you see?"
41052Feel like tackling it?
41052Hallowell?"
41052Have the boys met with more ill- luck on the contract?"
41052Have you anything better to do?"
41052Have you finished the upper laterals?
41052He''s a real worker, is n''t he?
41052Hear that?
41052How are you, Rod?
41052How can you be spared?"
41052How can you keep still now?
41052How can you look so pensive and perplexed?
41052How could you keep still and not tell the Burfords?
41052How do you suppose I like being cut off from you, brother?"
41052How goes it?
41052How many callers will we have?
41052How will you manage without me?"
41052If I go West, where will you go?
41052If I''m obliged to share my boat with your impudent riffraff----""Mr. Marvin, will you kindly come here a moment?"
41052In that little red launch, see?
41052Into a lumber- yard?"
41052Is Captain Lathrop, of the_ Queen_, round about?"
41052Is it anything interesting?"
41052Is it not grand to know that your brother is giving the power of his hands and his brains to such a big, helping work as all that?"
41052Is it yourself that''s turned highway robber?
41052Is it-- Is it head- quarters?
41052Is n''t he a stunner for a year old?"
41052Is n''t she magnificent?
41052Is not this a most disheartening outlook?
41052Is she, Tom Tucker?"
41052Is that Dredge A crew?
41052Is this all there is to it?
41052Is your captain aboard?
41052Just yellow, tumbling water, and mud, and fog?"
41052Marvin?"
41052May n''t Finnegan and I tag along?"
41052May n''t we take you aboard to see?"
41052My faith, do you remember the race that we two ran, down in Pike County in''63?"
41052On the big dredge?
41052Or do we stop at some landing?"
41052Or trouble among the laborers, or what?"
41052Packed in all right, Mammy?
41052Queer, is n''t it?
41052Remember the smothery feather- beds, and the ice- cold pickled beets and pie for breakfast?
41052S''pose Mammy Easter would make us a pot of coffee, Sally Lou?
41052See that?"
41052See?"
41052See?"
41052Shall I leave you long enough to get our bags and Empress?"
41052Shall I take it and my own, too?"
41052So ye''ve lost the bail dimensions?
41052So you and Mr. Burford here think that I ought to stand by the job, hey,''and not let my private quarrels influence me into deserting the contract?''
41052Sort of a shot- gun quarantine, see?
41052Steam up, Mulcahy?
41052Steer by it?
41052Sure it wo n''t tire you to talk business?"
41052Surely you will not have time to make up your week''s reports during that three- hour trip on the train?"
41052Tart and grim, like Mrs. Chrisenberry, I suppose, or else kindly and bashful and''woodsy,''like the Gateses?
41052That visitors''Sunday, do n''t you remember?"
41052Then what about your watch to- night?
41052They do n''t come aboard your house- boat?"
41052Think it will take us all night?"
41052Truly?"
41052Want to see what the lady''s got for you, Mamie?"
41052Was he aboard?"
41052Was n''t he a dear to think of taking us?"
41052Was n''t she brave to come out to this cold, lonesome country all for me?
41052We''ll have to see to it that they get a lot of coddling so''s to keep them cheered up, wo n''t we?"
41052We''ll love to have you; wo n''t we, babies?"
41052Well, Hallowell?"
41052What about Jackson River?"
41052What about you, Sis?
41052What can you mean?
41052What could she do to make Rod''s quarters more comfortable?
41052What did he say?"
41052What do ye say?"
41052What do you say?"
41052What do you suppose a burgoo may be?"
41052What do you suppose this telegram says?"
41052What has happened?"
41052What if you get sick, Rod?"
41052What is goose- grease, pray?"
41052What is his name?"
41052What is it, dear?"
41052What is that blazing light away up the ditch?
41052What is the man talking about?
41052What is the old lady like, Rod?"
41052What may a burgoo be?"
41052What more could his reply need?
41052What of them?"
41052What sort of people will they be?
41052What was your letter, Rod?"
41052What''s yer pleasure, sir?"
41052When you have worked fourteen hours a day, ever since you came West?"
41052Where are you telephoning from?"
41052Where can they find laboring men to do the work, away out in the country?"
41052Where do they all come from?"
41052Where under the shining sun did you come from?"
41052Where were you trying to steer us?
41052Wherever was ye brought up?
41052Who ever saw a dipper break her bail twice on the same job?
41052Why are you carrying so much steam?
41052Why not make it five hundred dollars per ton?
41052Why on earth should you go?
41052Why should I come down to the work?
41052Why, how did you swing the dredge downstream so quickly?"
41052Why, sir?
41052Why-- why, did_ you_ do this for me, sister?
41052Why?"
41052Why?"
41052Will I disturb you if I tell you a good joke on Hallowell?"
41052Will that sand cut give you much trouble?"
41052Will they stop by on their way home from church, or will they come promptly after dinner and spend the afternoon?"
41052Will you come downstairs?"
41052Will you hear that, Hallowell?
41052Will you join me, an''prove once more which one of us is the rale winner?"
41052Will you talk with him?"
41052Will you tell me what she meant?"
41052Wires down again, do you s''pose?"
41052Wo n''t you stop and talk with us a while?"
41052Wo n''t you, lamb?"
41052Would Commodore McCloskey know?
41052Would that help things along?"
41052Ye''ve heard of her, sure?
41052You are n''t going to give goose- grease to your own babies, I hope?"
41052You girls do n''t play, I suppose?"
41052You hear that, I reckon?"
41052You here, Miss Hallowell?
41052You stodgy tortoise, why ca n''t you be pleased, too?"
41052You wire them straight off, will you?
41052You''ll go with me, wo n''t you, Marian?
41052You''re here to see the greased- pig race?
41052[ Illustration]"What will your work be, Rod?"
41052_ Barbecue?_"Marian spoke the mystic words over, bewildered.
15971A good ways-- why?
15971A new one?
15971A young lady?
15971Afraid of what?
15971Ai n''t it''most time for Polly to come?
15971Ai n''t this more swell than that old- fashioned rent on Brewery Street?
15971All day long?
15971All punished, are you?
15971Am I dressed all right?
15971Ancestors you mean, do n''t you?
15971And Aunt Jane is n''t my aunt at all?
15971And is it curly?
15971And let her stay long enough to tell me a story?
15971And me--"And me?"
15971And we never will grow old, will we?
15971And what became of the piano and other musical instruments?
15971And what was it about Colonel Gresham?
15971And wo n''t Miss Lucy be nurse up in the ward any more?
15971And you say nobody but Polly has been in the room since?
15971And you wo n''t be offended?
15971And you''re not lame a bit?
15971And your father-- did he have brothers or sisters?
15971Are n''t there a lot of them?
15971Are n''t there some new girls in the ward who have n''t any dolls?
15971Are n''t you going to tell me about your visit?
15971Burton is not worse, is he?
15971But how happens it that you''re at the hospital? 15971 But then,"she brightened,"you''ll have to be home helping your mother pack up, sha n''t you?"
15971But where do you live-- when you''re home?
15971But you have them up in the ward, do n''t you?
15971Ca n''t he have anything to drink?
15971Ca n''t we go up attic?
15971Ca n''t you come in and stay a while?
15971Ca n''t you read?
15971Ca n''t you think of anything within my power that would give you a little happiness?
15971Ca n''t you think what is soft and round and small? 15971 Can he sing?"
15971Can you keep a secret?
15971Can you sing?
15971Can you tell me, please, where Mrs. MacCarthy lives?--Brida MacCarthy''s mother?
15971Celebrate what?
15971Colonel Gresham-- your uncle?
15971Could I give Leonora Hewitt something to wear?
15971Could n''t you-- take Elsie?
15971Could we get out and pick just a few o''those flowers?
15971D''ye see that?
15971Decidedly; but how came you with the Colonel?
15971Did I interrupt any tasks or play?
15971Did he know it was I?
15971Did n''t Mrs. Collins come?
15971Did n''t he ever invite you?
15971Did n''t you hear I''d got married again?
15971Did n''t you know it before? 15971 Did they make you lie still?"
15971Did you always have plenty of money to use-- for food and clothes and so on?
15971Did you enjoy those better than the music?
15971Did you know it?
15971Did you know that David is related to Colonel Gresham?
15971Did you mother ever go to the bank, do you remember?
15971Did you see all the Annes?
15971Did you tell your uncle?
15971Do n''t I?
15971Do n''t you know that you should always have your mind on what you do? 15971 Do n''t you think a pink hair ribbon would be nice?"
15971Do n''t you want to take that ride you missed this morning? 15971 Do you know for what?"
15971Do you know one''bout soldiers?
15971Do you like stories?
15971Do you like stories?
15971Do you love everybody, Miss Lucy,--every single body?
15971Do you mean children?
15971Do you mean,she broke in excitedly,"that I should n''t have to go back to Aunt Jane?"
15971Do you recollect what Aunt Jane''s name was before she married? 15971 Do you s''pose she does?"
15971Do you think they look like me?
15971Do you want me to stay away, David Collins?
15971Do you want to tell me?
15971Do you want us to?
15971Does Mrs. Jocelyn wish to adopt you? 15971 Does it feel worse to- day?"
15971Does she live all alone when she is home?
15971Does she now? 15971 Dolls-- ain''t dolls more fun that playing ball?"
15971Elsie? 15971 Everybody ready?"
15971Fell strong enough for an auto ride, Elsie?
15971For me?
15971Had n''t you better wait till it passes, before taking Polly out?
15971Has Polly suddenly become dumb? 15971 Has she been singing all this time?"
15971Have I hindered you?
15971Have I made her very much worse?
15971Have yer come to stay?
15971Have you a key to the apartment? 15971 Have you a telephone?"
15971He can?
15971He is ever so much better,answered Polly;"and is n''t it too bad?
15971Here already?
15971High Price?
15971How came kerosene oil in here? 15971 How came that cat here?"
15971How did Phebe look?
15971How did she did she know it?
15971How did the story go?
15971How did you ever guess that Browning is my favorite poet?
15971How do you do, my dear? 15971 How do you do, my dear?
15971How in the world did you come here?
15971How is David Collins getting on?
15971How old is he?
15971How would a sterling silver fruit knife do?
15971How''d yer ever think of it?
15971How''d you get hurt? 15971 How_ did_ she know I''d ruther have''em than anything in th''biggest store you ever saw?"
15971I did n''t tell you about Prince Benito, did I?
15971I do n''t like her; do you?
15971I may talk, may n''t I?
15971I should think it would make sick people well to come out, here should n''t you?
15971I''ll have to sing pretty soft; sha n''t I?
15971I''m going there?
15971I-- I-- thought-- I''d just-- come--"Did Miss Price send you for anything?
15971If I should tell you that you will make so sweet a picture that everybody will want it, would you believe it?
15971In the newspaper?
15971Is David still at the hospital?
15971Is Mary right?
15971Is he a big boy or a little boy?
15971Is he a good deal better?
15971Is he well enough to come downstairs?
15971Is it about the ring, dear?
15971Is it too much of a problem?
15971Is it''most tea- time?
15971Is n''t Colonel Gresham nice to give it to me?
15971Is n''t he nice?
15971Is n''t it a darling?
15971Is n''t it lovely of him to ask me? 15971 Is n''t it queer that High Price should come just then?"
15971Is n''t she cute? 15971 Is she all right now?"
15971Is the book any good?
15971Is the hospital so full as that?
15971Is this David some relative of yours?
15971It is the camera''s fault, is n''t it? 15971 It was awful, was n''t it?"
15971It will, wo n''t it?
15971Lone Star-- know?
15971Lone Star?
15971Made whom worse?
15971Mamma, can we go up on the roof?
15971Me?
15971Mine? 15971 My hands are soapy,"she apologized,"and--""Well, do n''t you know enough to wipe them?"
15971My new uncle?
15971No; how?
15971Not afraid, Thistledown?
15971Now, let me see,he began, after he had returned thanks for his sweets;"think I can squeeze in seven or eight of them?"
15971Now, my love, whose name shall head your list of especial friends?
15971Now, what is it, Thistledown?
15971Now-- what do you s''pose?
15971Oh, me too?
15971Please, Aunt Jane, can I have my locket and chain?
15971Please, may I use it?
15971Pollee go?
15971Polly, why ca n''t you try to please you cousin, and not be so stingy with your things?
15971Say, Miss Price, ca n''t Polly just come and look at''em?
15971Say, Polly, I wish you''d spray some of that nice- smellin''stuff around-- what do you call it?
15971Say, what are these blue stones in here?
15971Say, what colored hair has mine?
15971Say, what made you think it did n''t?
15971Say, what you wearin''my dress for?
15971Say, where''s Marcus and''Melie?
15971Shall I go tell him?
15971She did, hey? 15971 She does?"
15971She has more money than probably you or I will ever handle, little girl; but we''ll have better riches than gold, wo n''t we?
15971Suppose I take you for a little longer drive-- would your friends mind?
15971Suppose we taker her home in the auto, after tea?
15971Sure?
15971Thank me?
15971That you, Jack?
15971The one with vines all over the piazzas?
15971There is your home-- see?
15971Tired?
15971Truly?
15971Want to come downstairs?
15971Was it nice furniture?
15971Was n''t he funny?
15971Was that sold?
15971Was your leg broken?
15971We are to be brave and patient and not make a fuss about anything, and help everybody else to be happy-- is n''t that what you meant, Miss Lucy?
15971We went''way down to Rockmoor!--Did you ever ride in an auto, Miss Lucy?
15971We''re having the best part of it, are n''t we?
15971Well enough to walk over here, think?
15971Well, they want me to tell them a story, so I''d better, do n''t you think?
15971Were you dreading that? 15971 Wha''d''yer buy for Leonora?"
15971What Mis''Leonard?
15971What Mrs. Jocelyn is that?
15971What are you doing down here, Polly May?
15971What book?
15971What can it be?
15971What did I say?
15971What did the Colonel do?
15971What do you think is in our back yard? 15971 What do you think?"
15971What does she do then?
15971What else could I do with it?
15971What for?
15971What have they been saying to you?
15971What is it, Elsie?
15971What is it, Elsie?
15971What is it?
15971What is my big house good for,she demanded,"if it can not be useful at a time like this?
15971What is the trouble?
15971What made yer let her?
15971What was you mother''s maiden name, her name when she was a girl?
15971What yer done with it?
15971What you come for?
15971What''s all this rumpus about?
15971What''s going on here?
15971What''s happened?
15971What''s her other name?
15971What''s the matter with Polly?
15971What, Jane?
15971What-- do you mean?
15971What?
15971What?
15971When can he come down in our ward?
15971When do you s''pose she''ll come back?
15971When you get well enough to come down in our ward, you can tell us some, ca n''t you?
15971When''s she goin''home?

15971Where''d you get it?
15971Where''d you get that locket and chain?
15971Where''s Miss Lucy?
15971Where''s my dolly?
15971Where''s yer hair ribbon?
15971Who is that woman?
15971Whose picture is this?
15971Why do n''t yer ever look where you goin''?
15971Why do n''t you lie abed?
15971Why do n''t you undo your package?
15971Why not a sick- house as well as a sick- bed?
15971Why not?
15971Why such haste, Thistledown? 15971 Why will he?
15971Why, I must have put--"What are you doing with that atomizer?
15971Why, have you read it?
15971Why?
15971Will Polly make up our stories for us?
15971Will they keep till to- morrow, s''pose?
15971Will you allow us to look through it, please?
15971Will you bring her again tomorrow?
15971Will you come, too?
15971Will you give me one?
15971Will you lie still if I will?
15971Wo n''t I have to go back to- morrow?
15971Wo n''t it tire you?
15971Yes,replied Polly innocently,"You thought I was your little niece, Eva, and--""What?"
15971You b''long- a?
15971You did n''t expect to see mi; did you? 15971 You do n''t mean me, do you?"
15971You do n''t quite understand that, do you?
15971You have n''t got to go back to your Aunt Jane''s?
15971You have seen her?
15971You never heard of any will, I suppose?
15971You want to go, Thistledown?
15971You were in such a hurry to come down and see me that it took away your appetite-- was that it?
15971You what?
15971You''re not afraid?
15971Your mother was not sick long, was she?
15971--"And me?"
15971--"Who''s that pretty little kid with him?"
15971Ai n''t it splendid?"
15971Ai n''t they, Miss Lucy?"
15971All mine?"
15971And at last he has decided to keep still-- did Dr. Dudley tell you?"
15971And you are sure you wish to give up all that grandeur for this old codgery doctor who has n''t any money?"
15971And your aunt really made it all up?"
15971Are n''t you glad for David?"
15971Are n''t you glad now that you went?"
15971Are you feeling quite well again?"
15971As she took the glass form Miss Price''s hand, and started away, she heard the physician say,"Can I have Polly for a few minutes?"
15971Bob,"whirling around to the Doctor,"why have n''t you brought Miss Polly out to see us?
15971But is n''t it splendid of him?
15971But now that you are free I feel that I must have you?
15971But we will be friends now, wo n''t we?"
15971But what could I get?"
15971But what did they say when the came home?
15971But what difference does it make?"
15971But wo n''t it be too much trouble?"
15971But you ca n''t stop for anything when folks are''most dying, can you?"
15971But, child, have n''t you any doll of your own-- at home, I mean?"
15971Ca n''t you go to sleep?
15971Can you come up this evening?
15971Can you wake up?"
15971Could it be?
15971Could she brave the crowded streets in such attire?
15971D''ye here that?
15971David Gresham sick?
15971David?"
15971Did I frighten you?
15971Did n''t they miss the doll?"
15971Did n''t you know it?
15971Did she say so?"
15971Do n''t it, Miss Lucy?"
15971Do n''t ye know how to trate comp''ny?"
15971Do n''t you know about it?"
15971Do n''t you remember, you went down to Aunt Jane''s, and got some of my books when I was able to sit up?"
15971Do n''t you want to come and live with me?
15971Do you care if he leaves the office for just a little while?"
15971Do you love her very much?"
15971Do you suppose you can keep the children quiet?"
15971Do you think it was dreadfully wicked?"
15971Do you-- do you want me to go?"
15971Dudley?"
15971Elsie flashed him a look that meant,"How can you?"
15971Ever hear of this Dorothy before?"
15971Had I better tell him that David is better?"
15971Had her friends all been worrying like this?
15971Had she made Colonel Gresham so angry that he would never speak to her again?
15971Had something befallen the ring?
15971Hastily throwing on a robe which was always at hand, she answered with a soft,"What is it?"
15971Have you and Colonel Gresham quarreled?"
15971Have you been spraying it around?"
15971Have you sworn off from auto riding?"
15971He went on gravely,"Did the Simpsons take charge of everything after your mother went?
15971Him take- a-- yours?"
15971How do you do?"
15971How is that back of yours, Cornelius?"
15971I do n''t see what that''s for, do you?"
15971I think he''s beautiful; do n''t you?"
15971Is n''t Lone Star beautiful?"
15971Is n''t it a love-- luscious name?"
15971Is that his name?"
15971Jocelyn?"
15971Jocelyn?"
15971Just a-- little-- bit?"
15971Leonora is a sweet girl-- and, oh, is n''t it lovely?
15971Mamma, sha n''t Polly take off her locket, and let me see it?"
15971Mamma, sha nt''he stop pulling it so?"
15971May I get her the doll, Miss Lucy?"
15971May I get your hat?"
15971May I keep it on my finger all night long?"
15971Oh, do n''t I wisht I had me own darlin''Popover right here in me arms!--Why do n''t yer begin?"
15971One that I know?"
15971Or do n''t you play at all?"
15971Or is it a game?"
15971Or is it open?"
15971Pray, how came you with him?"
15971Say, do n''t you s''pose your mother''d let me take Popover and bring her up here?
15971Say, why did n''t you send word where you was?"
15971See that bed with the dark- haired little girl in it, the third from the end?
15971So we''ll have David downstairs just as soon as his bed is ready, wo n''t we?"
15971The Doctor''s eyes twinkled; but Polly, all unseeing, went on:--"How soon do you think Miss Lucy''ll come back?
15971The thistledown, what should you say if I should tell you that Miss Lucy and I are going to be married?"
15971Then the said gravely:--"Do you think that is really fair-- to accuse Miss Price of what she may never do?
15971Then,"And you did n''t smell it?"
15971There was a moment''s hush, and then Elsie piped out:--"David, ca n''t you tell another story, please?"
15971Was it May?"
15971Was it a Cherry- Pudding Story?"
15971Was nobody else there?"
15971Was that all right?
15971Well, is Aunt Jane good to you?
15971Well,''t ai n''t hurt with trimmin'', is it?"
15971Were they worrying about her and trying to find her?
15971Were you run over?"
15971What David do you mean?"
15971What could be the matter?
15971What did you read?
15971What do yo play with?
15971What do yo suppose Leonora will say to her new ribbons?"
15971What do you find to do with yourself all day long?"
15971What do you guess it is?"
15971What do you mean by such extraordinary conduct, Miss Polly May?"
15971What is it?
15971What is it?"
15971What is the matter?"
15971What made you give us such a scare?"
15971What made you go that way?"
15971What mattered anything now?
15971What mattered it if Aunt Jane should return and find her absent?
15971What would Miss Price say?
15971What''s the matter?"
15971Where are you, Eva?"
15971Where is she now?"
15971Where you bound for, all rigged out so fine?"
15971Where''d you get that dress?"
15971Where''s Eva?"
15971Where''s yer manners?
15971Who is that skipping along the hall?"
15971Whom do you wish to see?"
15971Why ca n''t we all have some, Miss Lucy?"
15971Why did n''t they send you this fall?
15971Why hain''t you been round to see me?"
15971Why not keep on to the hospital?
15971Why?"
15971Will it be very much trouble to keep her here till to- morrow?
15971Will you agree to do this?"
15971Will you come?"
15971Will you?"
15971Wo n''t that be jolly?
15971Would he mind if I stroked his nose?"
15971Would it cost too much?"
15971Would n''t that look funny?"
15971Would she make it easy or hard for her to apologize?
15971You could n''t call High Price cuddly; could you?"
15971You do n''t mind staying alone while I''m gone?"
15971You know the best way to forget a disagreeable thing?"
15971You know the little brown cottage just beyond Colonel Gresham''s?"
15971You love your old uncle, do n''t you, Eva?
15971You will; wo n''t you, Polly?"
15971You would n''t mind, would you?"
15971You''re not sick, are you?"
15971You''re that little girl, are you?"
15971You''ve got back, have you?"
15971Your home is n''t very far from here, is it?"
15971and Polly''s face was beautiful in its joy;"does this mean that you''re going to give me three hundred dollars to buy some new cots with?"
15971he cried, with a breath of relief,"Why did you stay away-- so-- long?"
15971how can he?"
15971queried Polly, anxiously; adding,"Who will want my picture?
15971she asked,"how is David?"
15971sighed the nurse,"what have I told you about using that word?"
15971the young woman exclaimed, in a flutter of astonishment,"what have you been telling him?"
15971was her instant inquiry, as the Doctor opened his door?
15971with a quick tightening clasp,"you did n''t suppose we would leave you behind?"
49330''Appreciation?''
49330''Draw the fire''?
49330''Esteem?''
49330''More blessed to give than to receive?'' 49330 ''Pretty?''"
49330''Take?'' 49330 A Norwegian?"
49330A lawn mower?
49330A misapprehension?
49330A patient? 49330 A reformer?"
49330After the chicken soup, would it not seem to you, for instance, that turkey would be infinitely more chic than-- than corned beef?
49330All that? 49330 And I?
49330And Jonathan is six, and----"Oh, have you got a''Jonathan''?
49330And does he look like you?
49330And does this wonderful theory of yours apply only to poor little children?
49330And have you seen the little sad lady once more?
49330And is the piano well?
49330And it is about-- about--? 49330 And the night also so dark and so cold?
49330And this crying?
49330And this now, this minute, is a Tuesday?
49330And where is her habit? 49330 And will it take the long time perhaps to mend the little pain in the bone?"
49330And will there then be camels? 49330 And yet?"
49330And you? 49330 Are you a real musician, I mean?"
49330Are you in the habit of letting strange young men kiss you?
49330Are you young enough and strong enough and laughing enough to come over here and sit on my bed?
49330As you were being lifted out of your carriage at the hotel door, I was just coming out of the Free Lunch----"Hunger or thirst?
49330Boxes?
49330But did n''t my aunt tell you I was coming?
49330But do you dream for a moment that you can guarantee that?
49330But is your husband living?
49330But of what good is it that I should understand?
49330But that poor womans over there?
49330But what about all this Montessori study and everything? 49330 But what do you want me to wish?
49330But whatever in the world made you come?
49330But why make such a mystery about your domicile?
49330But-- but was it a great shock to you?
49330Ca n''t I?
49330Celtic?
49330Could I put my hand on your yellow hair?
49330Could a boy come to any of the good that should go to college on a pillow like that?
49330Dawdling?
49330Did I not make the dare to her? 49330 Did n''t my aunt, Mrs. Tome Gallien, write you-- or something-- that I was coming?"
49330Do n''t you ever get anything?
49330Do you know your own words? 49330 Do you really mean it?"
49330Do you wish to take your present young nurse with you?
49330Does this also hurt you?
49330Drawn? 49330 E- lee- sa- buth?"
49330Eh?
49330Eh?
49330Elizabeth?
49330Elizabeth?
49330Even as from the first,she questioned,"is it that you are making the sport of me when I wish so hard to do the things that would please you?
49330Fairy god- doctor?
49330For Heaven''s sake, do n''t you know where you want to go?
49330For myself?
49330For why are there so many boxes?
49330For why should it be a meanness? 49330 For you?"
49330Good- by? 49330 Have you gotten the impression in any way that the Young Doctor was-- was attracted at all to my little widow friend?"
49330How about this pain--?
49330How did you feel about it? 49330 How do I know that she''ll go with me?"
49330How do you do, Dr. Sam Kendrue?
49330How do you do?
49330How do_ you_ do, Miss Solvei Kjelland?
49330How many years can you give me?
49330How many years can you sell me, then?
49330How old is she?
49330How should I feel?
49330How-- how old are your little ones?
49330I am to infer then that climate, locality, care, companionship, everything has been arranged except your wish for a chronic Package by Express?
49330If I should apologize fairly decently for existing at all,experimented Mrs. Tome Gallien a little further,"would you be willing to kiss now?
49330If this should be a patient,she implored,"who then is the''Other Adventure''?"
49330If you could only see it?
49330If you will kindly remove your-- er-- bonnet-- is it that you call it?
49330In a world of so much racket is it not a pity that any harmonies should lie dumb? 49330 In my far Norway is it not that I have still the cause of the little brother?
49330In the vacancy of my mind is it that I have promised for this writing?
49330Is it kind? 49330 Is it-- is it as bad as that?"
49330Is there anything specially peculiar looking about us, I wonder?
49330Is your practice here so huge that you can totally afford to ignore a salary such as I would give you?
49330Is-- is Mrs. Tome Gallien your-- aunt?
49330It is that you understand I am perfectly resigned?
49330It is then the Young Doctor that you mean? 49330 It should be an''Ode,''is it that you call it?"
49330It-- it''s been a-- a very cold day, has n''t it?
49330Mean?
49330Miss Solvei Kjelland?
49330Mocha or Java?
49330Mrs. Gallien,asked the Young Doctor with some abruptness,"just exactly where is your home?"
49330Mrs. Tome Gallien?
49330My father?
49330My idea?
49330Next Sunday afternoon?
49330Oh, is n''t it?
49330Oh, it is for the fairies then?
49330Oh, of course, if you had some one brand- new interest to revitalize you? 49330 Oh, surely not upon it?"
49330Oh, the woman? 49330 Oh, what have I done that you should act thus?"
49330Oh, you mean you are a Montessori student?
49330Oh, you sing?
49330Only that?
49330Or a Princess?
49330Or am I to infer?
49330Or rather, about me, I should say?
49330Or,sweeping the table with another deprecating glance,"or does he take after his father?"
49330Over-- come it?
49330Picnic?
49330Pleased?
49330Resigned to what?
49330S- o?
49330S- o?
49330S- o?
49330S- o?
49330S- o?
49330S- o?
49330S- o?
49330Sam? 49330 See it?"
49330So dramatic is it that you say? 49330 So is it then with all these boxes?"
49330So it is thus you have been deceiving me?
49330So- o?
49330So- o?
49330So- o?
49330So? 49330 So?"
49330So?
49330So?
49330So?
49330So?
49330So?
49330So?
49330Speaking of''attending to one''s business,''if_ you_ should decide to stay here and make_ me_ your business, what do you think you could do for me?
49330Strange young men?
49330Take after his father?
49330Take the air?
49330Tell you a little story?
49330That box so wooden, so busted at the top? 49330 That from this desert island lying so you would make constantly such little bridges across to other people''s livings?
49330The fault of that damned what?
49330The one things in the world that I did not want-- at just this time? 49330 The-- the Adventure?"
49330Then what are you fussing about?
49330This most beautiful little island, you have not seen it-- since you came?
49330Thought it was funny, did she? 49330 Ticket?"
49330Very what?
49330Was it?
49330Was this a comic opera? 49330 Well, if it really came to a show- down between his Adventure and Mrs. Tome Gallien''s?"
49330Well, what about this''Lisa''and''Jonathan''business?
49330Well, what do you propose to do about it?
49330Well, what is it you want me to do first?
49330Well, where is it that you want to go?
49330Well, would you be willing to-- to tell me a little story?
49330Were you going to take another car?
49330What are you talking about?
49330What did you say? 49330 What else do you propose to take?"
49330What else is there then?
49330What in creation have you done? 49330 What is it that you mean?"
49330What is it? 49330 What is it?"
49330What is that?
49330What is that?
49330What kind of a wish do I want you to make?
49330What was in that big brown bundle- box that should burst so?
49330What would you be willing to do?
49330What would you want me to do?
49330What? 49330 What?
49330What? 49330 What?"
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330What?
49330Whatever in the world,he demanded,"would I do with a piano?
49330Where have you lived?
49330Where?
49330Who is this Mrs. Tome Gallien, anyways?
49330Who now is eating a Miss-- mis- apprehension?
49330Who?
49330Whose nonsense will then be left to us?
49330Why not?
49330Why not?
49330Why not?
49330Why not?
49330Why, for heaven''s sake, how do I know?
49330Why, what are you talking about? 49330 Why, what kind of a wish should I want you to make except an honest wish?
49330Why, what makes your cheeks so red?
49330Why-- why do_ you_ love music so?
49330Why-- why, what do you mean?
49330Years and years?
49330Yes, but do you really mean that you wrote to Mrs. Tome Gallien?
49330Yes, but how do you know that she''ll go with you?
49330Yes, but when?
49330Yes, but where?
49330Yes, but you?
49330You like boxes?
49330You mean that you can not thus have any supper?
49330You mean you are such friends as that?
49330You mean you did not really want me?
49330You noticed, I trust, that there was no nice grass whatsoever on this island?
49330You realize of course that you are eating a-- a misapprehension?
49330You understand what I''m trying to say, now do n''t you?
49330You''re not by any chance a-- a fairy god- doctor, are you?
49330You''re quite sure that it is n''t a will you want me to make? 49330 You-- you mean that you''re going to give the things away?
49330Your husband?
49330Your name is-- what?
49330Your wife?
49330_ What_? 49330 _ What_?"
49330''Old-- old maid''is it that you call her?
49330''Take after his father?''"
49330''The gift without the giver is bare?''"
49330''What should there then be in it?''
49330''Whatever in the world''_ would_ you do with a piano?"
49330A dimple that had no right, possibly, haunting a lean, loved cheek line?
49330A farce?
49330A girl?
49330A half pound of butter, a box of rusks, a can of coffee, six or seven eggs, divided up among any kind of a committee, or even between two llamas?
49330A phantasy of not enough work and too much worry?
49330A praise- you for being so rich?
49330A prattling note perhaps?
49330A trifle unconventional, perhaps?
49330Am I not as fine a lady as Mrs. Tome Gallien?
49330Among all Mrs. Tome Gallien''s so- called"stingy receivers"the one unquenchable pang in an otherwise reasonably callous side?
49330An alien mouth?
49330And all the extra serenities and safeguards that financial resources can wrap a sick person in?
49330And back of that-- what did people want to love each other for anyway?
49330And here?"
49330And human?
49330And if there isn''t-- if there is n''t?"
49330And now?
49330And the little brother?
49330And the mother?
49330And the tip?
49330And two cents for a postage stamp?
49330And what good is she?
49330And wherever he shall in finality-- in finality--''gravitate,''is it that you say?
49330And whoever side- steps his rut for even an instant?
49330And why in Heaven''s name, if people loved each other, did they let anything wreck them?
49330And with my big loss so recent----""How long ago did you lose your father?"
49330And with the piano filling up the whole center of the room?
49330And you?"
49330And"Say, Mister, do you pull teeth?"
49330And, it is of course very diverting and most droll lying thus to plan how one may yet motivate the destinies, is it, that you say?
49330Are you going to chuck it?
49330Are you in the habit of letting strange young men kiss you?"
49330As for me?"
49330As long as life lasted?
49330As long as--?"
49330At this very minute?
49330But Mrs. Tome Gallien''s Adventure?
49330But as for the empty twilight?"
49330But how in the world would it ever blow out again?
49330But in a storm so unwholesome for aunt is it not best that I buy some good medicine?"
49330But just the package part?"
49330But she sent me instead the deed to a duck blind down somewhere on the South Carolina coast,--shooting, you know?
49330But the engine, or the blocks or the smoothen cat must not be forced on him, it is so you understand?
49330But together?
49330But which car?"
49330But whose smile was it, anyway?
49330But will such a young happiness ever take the troubles to cross back to you?"
49330Could you send for such?"
49330Did it ever occur to her to tell me what her lover said about the gay little brown leather hunting suit?
49330Did she also take him for a tooth puller?
49330Did she note by one single extra flourish of her pen that the lining of her opera cloak was like the petalling of a pink Killarney rose?
49330Do you play?"
49330Do_ you_ sing?"
49330Drawn?
49330Ever for one single instant do you ask me,''Have you finish your food?''
49330Familiar eyes-- perhaps?
49330Fire, flame, ice, ashes?
49330For Heaven''s sake what did you say?"
49330For why if two ladies like to visit it should not be so?
49330Had Mrs. Tome Gallien''s life, by chance, gone a- wreck on just that smile?
49330Have I not explain it all to the sick aunt?"
49330Hordes of young nieces, and poor relations and all that sort of thing?
49330How about your poor hardworking young doctor_ now_?"
49330How did I happen to get you?"
49330I had to board it out, you know?"
49330I?"
49330If I had crocheted you slippers would it have joggled you one iota out of the rut of your daily life?
49330If the matter of congenial climate could be properly adjusted?
49330If you thus furiously so refuse the gift, who then is the stingy receiver?"
49330If you''re going to be home next Sunday afternoon could n''t I come around and-- and laugh the thing out with you?"
49330In my time have I not already seen several Glooms of the Land?
49330In time, it is, I mean, as soon as you should bear to part with them you would build even these most Heavenish dishes across to some young happiness?
49330Is it any wonder that I should feel as though I''d loved you for almost ever and ever?
49330Is it not rather as the strong banks would say, Miss Solvei Kjelland by one lady from the South has been withdrawn from the circulations?
49330Is it not so?
49330Is it not then as you say?
49330Is it senselike?
49330Is it the work then,"she demanded,"of a blind one?
49330Is it then so correct?"
49330Is it''to burn''that you say?"
49330Is it-- is it a good piano?"
49330Is n''t it?"
49330Is not this Mrs. Tome Gallien as fine a lady as I?
49330Is that also a bridge to some other livings?"
49330Is that what you''d like to say?"
49330Is there no way to overcome it?"
49330It can not be chosen for him?"
49330Kendrue?"
49330Kendrue?"
49330Kendrue?"
49330Kendrue?"
49330Martha will do everything for me, you understand?"
49330N- o?"
49330No?
49330No?
49330No?"
49330Not a wish?"
49330Not a word from her about hats, you understand?
49330Of?
49330Oh,''motor boat''you call it?
49330On Friday afternoon next-- if the rheumatism perhaps should be sufficiently bad?"
49330Or for forty stethoscopes do you imagine for one tiny instant that you would have written me twice in five days?
49330Or of one both blind and crazy?"
49330Or of one crazy?
49330Or that the texture of her traveling suit would have made a princess strut with pride?
49330Or would even the latest design in operating tables have quickened one single heart- beat of your snug, self- sufficient young body?
49330Out of the whole wide world is it not that a child must gravitate to his own wantings?
49330Sam Kendrue?"
49330See?
49330Should I not pay?
49330Sixty cents, is it?
49330So anxious, so painstaking, so brooding?
49330So consumed with hopings----""You-- you see it, do you?"
49330So intensed?"
49330So pricked with needles?
49330So this was Mrs. Tome Gallien''s threatened"Adventure,"was it?
49330So this was the girl?
49330So you, very evidently, are the----""What?
49330So''romanticks''is it that you say?
49330Talk about being packed"cram- jam?"
49330That for so small a trifle you should--''snub''is it that you say, a stranger in a strange land?
49330That most dreadful magenta?
49330That screaming oranges?
49330That was her theory, was it?
49330The first breakfast of the new home?"
49330The little lad who is n''t?"
49330The little"Stingy Receiver"?
49330Then,"Well-- well-- why not?"
49330Thought it would really drive him outdoors for sheer rage into some sort of an enlivening adventure?
49330Through and through, is your heart then so cruel?"
49330To?
49330Two minutes ago was_ this_ the situation that he had cursed out as a farce, a comic opera?
49330Was every mention of Mrs. Tome Gallien''s name to be a_ scream_?
49330Was it my fault that I paid for your stupid supper?"
49330Was it my fault,"she demanded,"that restaurants can not block foolish women from their food?
49330Was it my fault?"
49330Was it so that he thus confessed it to you?"
49330What good was it?
49330What is there yet that will come?"
49330What kind of a wish, I mean, do you want me to make?"
49330What they really meant was''The giver added to the gift is a bore?''"
49330What would you do?
49330What?
49330When else should my mind or my heart be more vacated than now?"
49330Where did you get it?"
49330Where shall we put the girl?"
49330Who is a clinic?"
49330Why then should I not, for sheer geography, start out to investigate a''Gloom of the Sea''?"
49330Why, if it had n''t been for my work, and the knowledge that work and work only could bring me to you--?
49330Why, what do you mean?"
49330Will there be by the grace of the good God a chance perhaps for the Latin?
49330With all your abundant financial resources?
49330You do n''t really mean it, surely?
49330You mean that Mrs. Tome Gallien gave_ you_ the piano-- when-- when she knew how I had been longing for it all these months?
49330You understand?"
49330_ N- o_?"
49330_ No_?"
49330and it was n''t just a''gift''that I gave her, you understand?"
49330or,''Do you want to be put on a car?''
49330she demanded,"that it must make mockerings of the confused and the far- from- homes?"
49330she demanded,"that my bundles burst from the car?
49330she gesticulated encouragingly towards the deserted chair,"What is the price of a supper between two gentlemans?"
49330she puzzled,"How could I yet leave Elizabeth?"
47003A bit prudish, eh?
47003A cold, thin whiting with its tail in its mouth, devoid of any taste and depressing in its appearance?
47003A few, but not so many as----"You had expected?
47003A help?
47003A poet named Potts? 47003 A very thin man?"
47003A what, sir?
47003A_ what_?
47003All that for sixpence halfpenny?
47003Am I to say that?
47003Amabella dead?
47003An angel in a Paris hat, eh? 47003 Anastasia''s old lover?"
47003And a lot you''d learn there, mum-- hentries and hoary doves, I suppose?
47003And are they all expert flue cleaners?
47003And are you a professional balloonist-- ascend from the Crystal Palace and that sort of thing?
47003And as for the sinners-- well, surely they would n''t sin if they did n''t enjoy it?
47003And did he understand you?
47003And did they have them every night?
47003And did you mind?
47003And do I look like a leek that has been boiled without soda?
47003And do you think this woman will ever come back?
47003And does she arrange the hour you are to dine?
47003And had it suffered?
47003And if they did?
47003And is she going to hand tea to the guests in a crêpe bonnet?
47003And my tie?
47003And never have a bath, mum?
47003And now I suppose you are happy?
47003And now?
47003And she wo n''t be wanting to order the dinners?
47003And the Hilkley, mum? 47003 And then you are willing to go?"
47003And then----?
47003And they''ve done it?
47003And was he polite to you after that?
47003And what about Peter, little mother?
47003And what did you do?
47003And what do you think of him?
47003And what does he think?
47003And what does she have then?
47003And what if I am?
47003And where are your cuffs?
47003And where have I been?
47003And where have you met them?
47003And where''s your cap?
47003And why did n''t she?
47003And why not? 47003 And you are sure now?
47003And you call two years a hurry?
47003And you really think so?
47003And you,I inquired gently,"are you a native of Pine Tree Valley?"
47003And you?
47003And-- what are the views you hear upon men?
47003Anything further?
47003Are n''t they over?
47003Are n''t they?
47003Are n''t you comfy? 47003 Are people ever busy here?"
47003Are they all like that?
47003Are you German?
47003Are you better to- day, sweetheart? 47003 Are you doing French exercises?"
47003Are you eating properly?
47003Are you going to be rude to Miss Fairbrother?
47003Are you going-- to a funeral?
47003Are you having a party?
47003Are you not tired of it?
47003Are you poorly, Marguerite?
47003Are you quite sure there is nothing more you want?
47003Are you sleeping well?
47003Are you tired?
47003Are you? 47003 Been away long?"
47003Before we begin,said the latter, turning again to Nanty,"wo n''t you change your mind and congratulate me?"
47003Before you begin to talk,I said,"would you like a wash or have tea first?"
47003But can such things ever be?
47003But does she look after you well?
47003But how are you going to manage now I am laid up?
47003But is it necessary to have quite so many bones? 47003 But is n''t it extremely damp and insanitary, covered over with that weed?"
47003But sha n''t we require some later on with our dinner?
47003But shall you care dreadfully?
47003But surely she was an exception?
47003But tell me why,he said after a time, standing still in front of me,"why, Marguerite, my poor white daisy, you are so anxious to remain here?"
47003But the sin, the suffering?
47003But was n''t he German, Amelia?
47003But what about Dimbie?
47003But what about enforced laziness-- lying still on a couch?
47003But what shall we do with our money? 47003 But why?
47003But why? 47003 But why?
47003But wo n''t you be lonely, girl?
47003But you wo n''t take my manuscript book from me? 47003 But you''ll want her to go all the same?"
47003But,indignantly,"you are not surely going to compare me with Peter?"
47003By the way, where are Peter and your mother? 47003 Can nothing be done?"
47003Can you get her out of the room?
47003Can you?
47003Charwoman helpful?
47003Chips?
47003Colour? 47003 Copy books?"
47003Could n''t she have them in the kitchen with Amelia?
47003Could n''t you make it?
47003Could n''t you want darning wool?
47003Dear me, has the cistern overflowed?
47003Did I say that?
47003Did he tell you?
47003Did he wish me to keep him in countenance?
47003Did it agree with them?
47003Did n''t you tell her?
47003Did the Tompkinses quicklime their oven?
47003Did you eat it?
47003Did you expect her to propose to you?
47003Did you know when you invited me here?
47003Did you ring to tell me that, mum? 47003 Did you tell her of-- me?"
47003Did your husband swear?
47003Dimbie''s a dog?
47003Dimbie,I say coaxingly,"before you go quite, quite off, could n''t you suggest a remedy for squeaking?
47003Do n''t you know, sir?
47003Do n''t you like it, mum? 47003 Do n''t you mean the British possessions?"
47003Do n''t you remember the people she lived with before she came to us? 47003 Do n''t you think I''m right?"
47003Do n''t you think it''s a good plan, mum?
47003Do n''t you think,--perhaps, it would be advisable-- will you be so good as to see to the potatoes?
47003Do n''t you understand this was to have been my year-- my wonderful year?
47003Do n''t you want any lunch?
47003Do you call this burnt cinder lamb?
47003Do you expect me to laugh here?
47003Do you find the days long?
47003Do you hear? 47003 Do you know him?"
47003Do you know what I mean?
47003Do you know what gentlefolks buys off stalls at the seaside and eats with lemon and cyenne?
47003Do you know where it is?
47003Do you know where the pearl buttons for your flannel shirt are kept?
47003Do you know where your gas- meter is?
47003Do you mean as to whether they will get a new dress, or engage a man to put a new washer on the bathroom tap which drips?
47003Do you mean by the rabbit warren mother and Peter?
47003Do you mean you want to shake me now?
47003Do you really want to know, mum?
47003Do you still find vent for your happiness in the pages of a manuscript book?
47003Do you think all married people are happy?
47003Do you think it so dreadful?
47003Do you think it suitable for my years, Marguerite?
47003Do you think my love would stand the test of your being an invalid for even twenty years?
47003Do you think so?
47003Do you think that Dr. Renton''s soul is in danger?
47003Do you think you are better?
47003Do you want her?
47003Do you, Marguerite, wife?
47003Do you-- do you find lime in fields?
47003Do you?
47003Do?
47003Do_ you_ know how to make Charlotte Russe?
47003Does he live very near to us?
47003Does my husband know?
47003Does she run about barefoot?
47003Does she take them off the blades?
47003Eh, what?
47003First of all, how are you? 47003 Give you?"
47003Goes out where?
47003Gone?
47003Granted that,I was becoming impatient,"but what sort of things wo n''t she know?"
47003Have n''t you found it so?
47003Have some lunch?
47003Have you any further contrivances, I mean unusual ones, concealed about the premises?
47003Have you any idea what I do after lunch, mum? 47003 Have you been here long?"
47003Have you been to church?
47003Have you enjoyed pouring out your own tea and finding your slippers and working in the garden alone?
47003Have you missed me, Dimbie?
47003Have you only just found that out? 47003 Have you taken a great fancy to us?"
47003He will be returning to- day?
47003Here''s your money, mum, and did you mean your grand new lavender gown which your moth-- I mean Mrs. Macintosh-- sent you?
47003His black Minorca?
47003How are you going to get rid of her?
47003How dared you do it?
47003How did you know?
47003How did you like General Macintosh, Amelia?
47003How do I look?
47003How do you know all this?
47003How do you know that?
47003How do you know there was one?
47003How do you mean, a pity?
47003How do you mean?
47003How do you suppose your shirt remains fastened? 47003 How many editions?"
47003How much longer are you going to prink, Jane?
47003How old are you, mum? 47003 How soon shall you start?"
47003How''s my patient to- day?
47003I am not able to run away from disagreeable people, you mean?
47003I beg your pardon, but----"You think I am fretting for him?
47003I look well, then?
47003I mean, wo n''t you stay and see him?
47003I meant in what movement, art, thought, work, is he specially interested?
47003I s''pose you think I have been starving her?
47003I suppose no other garden contains ants?
47003I suppose when I-- if I were ever married my wife--he stumbled over the words--"might ask me to pick daisies for her?"
47003I thought puddings stood up straight?
47003I want you to go?
47003I wonder whether you will find Miss Fairbrother much changed? 47003 I wonder why you are crying?"
47003I''m afraid you''re not listenin'', mum?
47003If I tell you something will you promise to keep it secret-- either till the day after to- morrow, Thursday, or forever?
47003If you still care for her, may I ask why you do n''t follow her, or write to her?
47003In the where?
47003Indeed?
47003Indeed?
47003Is Amelia the forward young person with the pearl necklace who came to the door?
47003Is he a sanitary inspector, mum?
47003Is he your uncle?
47003Is it a wasp?
47003Is it the drain- bamboo you are using?
47003Is it years?
47003Is it, sir? 47003 Is n''t it a bit earwiggy?"
47003Is she a widow?
47003Is she your step, mum?
47003Is that all you are going to have?
47003Is that all, Amelia?
47003Is the Help still staring?
47003Is there anything else you have read in it?
47003Is this a pudding?
47003It does n''t look wholesome, do you think so?
47003Leave?
47003Like what?
47003Maps?
47003Marg,he said solemnly,"do you know what you have done?"
47003Marguerite, why are you looking so guilty and ashamed?
47003Marguerite,he said suddenly,"would you like a-- child?"
47003May I smoke?
47003May I-- may I talk to you about it?
47003Miniature of me?
47003Mother deceitful?
47003No servant?
47003No? 47003 No?"
47003No?
47003Not seen lamb before?
47003Now, mum,she panted,"if there''s no hot water, is it my fault?
47003Of what are you thinking and smiling?
47003Oh, Dimbie, what shall I do? 47003 Oh, Dimbie,"I whispered, clinging to him,"can you bear with me if I have a little grumble?
47003Oh, Marg, Marg, what_ shall_ we do?
47003Oh, do you?
47003Oh, have I?
47003Oh, is it?
47003Oh, when would Dimbie come?
47003Oh, yes, a sort of debating and literary society?
47003Oh?
47003On Thursday?
47003On the maternal side?
47003Only Marg''s medical m----"Dimbie,I shouted,"will you go and see if tea is ready?
47003P''r''aps your ma helped the general?
47003Perhaps you have always been brought up with them?
47003Perhaps you knew her for three months?
47003Perhaps you might ask him to tea?
47003Perhaps you wo n''t object to my having a cup?
47003Pigs''feet?
47003Really?
47003Really?
47003Shall I get a flower to put in your gown before the master comes? 47003 Shall I let him out now, mum?"
47003Shall it be on the top of Leith Hill, or at Hind Head, Farndon, Frensham, or Dorking?
47003She is a good girl, and looks after you well, does n''t she?
47003So did you build this aerodrome on purpose to finish her off?
47003So long?
47003So you are north- country really?
47003So you do n''t like weddings?
47003So you knew he was away?
47003So you want to marry me for the sake of reducing the number of spinsters?
47003Still attached to our little home?
47003Still obstinate?
47003Still tired?
47003Thank you,I said;"and would you let me wear plaits?"
47003The Honourable Mrs. Parkin- Dervis not called?
47003The bailiffs?
47003The lime?
47003The one who wore half a pound of tea as a bustle when she left at night?
47003Then what did you mean by saying you''d cable?
47003To a man in the Service with a small pension, an enlarged liver, residing at Brighton and requiring a kind nurse?
47003To a widower-- perhaps the father of the two sticky children you mentioned to me?
47003Vegetable_ what_?
47003Was it at the Tompkinses''?
47003Was it expensive?
47003Was it?
47003Was she very clever?
47003Was there ever a husband like mine?
47003We shall never have any friends, Marg, if you behave like----"Do you want friends like that?
47003Well, are we to be down with typhoid, or is there any chance of our escaping?
47003Well, what do you mean?
47003Well?
47003Well?
47003Well?
47003Were there no cabs? 47003 What about Jane and the Doctor?"
47003What about brawn or sausages, or black puddings or ham, mum?
47003What about grey cloth, then-- pale dove- grey?
47003What about old clothes women, mum?
47003What are you doing?
47003What are you glad about?
47003What are you two up to?
47003What colour your mother wishes to know?
47003What did he charge you?
47003What did he do?
47003What did you do?
47003What did you have for lunch?
47003What did you say, mum?
47003What do they go out for?
47003What do you call a hurry?
47003What do you call useful?
47003What do you do that for?
47003What do you mean by saying Miss Fairbrother wo n''t know much?
47003What do you mean?
47003What do you mean?
47003What do you mean?
47003What do you recommend us to use?
47003What do you take me for?
47003What do you think constitutes''knowing much''?
47003What do you want it for?
47003What do_ you_ notice?
47003What do_ you_ think of women, Professor? 47003 What does she mean by dying now?"
47003What have you got-- omelets?
47003What is it, Amelia?
47003What is it, dear?
47003What is it, girl?
47003What is it?

47003What lawn could be smoother than ours? 47003 What part do you fancy?"
47003What pertaters?
47003What sort of fish?'' 47003 What sort of maps?"
47003What were you going to look for?
47003What women?

47003When would you like to see her?
47003Where do you get it from?
47003Where do you live?
47003Where does he live?
47003Where else could she have them?
47003Where is it?
47003Where is she?
47003Where shall we have it?

47003Where will you be, mum?
47003Where''s Amelia?
47003Where''s your husband? 47003 Wherever did you get it from?"
47003Wherever''s that?
47003Which is doing the work?
47003Which text?
47003Who are the Tompkinses?
47003Who could eat in this weather?
47003Who ever hears a frog near the big, noisy towns?
47003Who is he, mum?
47003Who respects you-- the vicar?
47003Who''s got to go for a walk?
47003Who,I asked, laughing,"the women or the men?"
47003Who?
47003Why are you wearing my slippers? 47003 Why did n''t you wake me?"
47003Why did you come?
47003Why did you say bailiffs then?
47003Why do n''t you put her into a frame somewhere about the room?
47003Why do n''t you say what you want?
47003Why do you quicklime the oven?
47003Why have n''t you told him?
47003Why have you never married?
47003Why not boil''em, mum, with a little washing powder?
47003Why not have the whole forty, mum?
47003Why should I look ashamed?
47003Why to- morrow?
47003Why west?
47003Why?
47003Why?
47003Why?
47003Why?
47003Why?
47003Why?
47003Will that woman have meals with us?
47003Will those do?
47003Will you be good enough to give this to the man who is bringing my trunks along?
47003Will you give me your faithful promise that you will not sit up again? 47003 Will you have this gown off first?"
47003Will you kindly explain?
47003Will you tell me the things you consider not useful?
47003With Amelia? 47003 Wo n''t you change your mind and have some tea?"
47003Wool at a candle shop?
47003Would they cost seven and sixpence?
47003Would you care to see the drain- bamboo, mum? 47003 Would you like his address?"
47003Would you like some drippin''toast, mum? 47003 Would you?"
47003Yes,I returned,"is n''t it interesting?"
47003Yes; sad, was n''t it? 47003 You do n''t care?"
47003You do n''t know?
47003You do n''t mind if she looks older?
47003You do n''t mind, Dimbie? 47003 You do n''t want the bones of my stays to come through, mum?"
47003You do n''t want to go to a jolly big house with nice grounds and smooth lawns?
47003You do n''t want to marry them?
47003You had a bad night?
47003You have no faith in me?
47003You have no objection?
47003You mean_ hors- d''oeuvres_?
47003You only want your husband?
47003You still find your year-- what was it you called it-- wonderful?
47003You think I am going to poke into the kitchen and do things for your mistress that you have been in the habit of doing?
47003You were saying?
47003You will remember that her mouth was firm, almost hard? 47003 You wo n''t ruffle it?"
47003You wo n''t suggest a hair- frame?
47003You''re a bit cross, mum?
47003You''re not offended with me?
47003You''re tired, mum?
47003You''ve grown fond of Jane?
47003You''ve sat up?
47003Your commonplace book? 47003 _ Amelia!_"I shouted, scandalised,"what are you dreaming of?
47003_ I_ want her? 47003 _ Omar_?"
47003''And have you no further need to ask for, sweetheart?''
47003''Have you had a good night?''
47003''What is it, girl?''
47003Am I growing selfish?
47003And each day also he says,"You are a little stronger, I think, do n''t you?"
47003And have you still no faith in me?
47003And he smiles tenderly and says he has n''t missed me one little bit, and ca n''t I see it in his face?
47003And were Marg''s letters very tiresome?"
47003And your cottage-- isn''t it below the sea level?
47003And your first question was, Would my love stand the strain of your illness?
47003And-- and what are they doing in the other room?"
47003Are the lines there?"
47003Are there no laundries or washerwomen about here?"
47003Are they so very unworthy?"
47003Are they trapped?"
47003Are we wise to put it behind us thus?
47003Are you happy, Jane?"
47003Are you not sorry for me?"
47003But now tell me before I go, just to satisfy my curiosity, what is your reason for wishing to write this book?
47003But what else was I to do?
47003But why should n''t such a year as you picture be ours when you are strong and well once more?
47003But-- have you ever seen Peter getting excited over those two words,''My wife''?"
47003CHAPTER XI MY FIRST CALLER Yesterday morning Dimbie said to me--"Have any of those beastly women called yet?"
47003Can the woman you have married entirely efface your memory of the other woman you wished to marry?
47003Can you always love me-- forever and ever, whatever happens to me?
47003Could all these things be leaving me to- night, leaving me forever?
47003Did I say"broad outlook"?
47003Did n''t he?"
47003Did n''t she return your love?"
47003Did n''t you know?"
47003Did she realise that if she waited long enough Amelia would put on the kettle?
47003Did she think that I should dilate on my affliction to her?
47003Did you expect to do so?"
47003Did you hear what I said?
47003Did you look into your drains, young man?"
47003Dimbie, Dimbie, do you know how you smiled?
47003Dimbie, dear, do you know how much I miss you?
47003Dimbie, dear, would you mind waking up?"
47003Do n''t I look better?"
47003Do n''t you hear him?"
47003Do n''t you remember I asked you to find me the sneezy man?
47003Do n''t you remember, mum?"
47003Do n''t you think so?"
47003Do n''t you?"
47003Do they not know that you come closest to God in your moments of supreme happiness?
47003Do you happen to have met with mercerised cotton?
47003Do you know any of the people here?"
47003Do you know how long I have lain here?"
47003Do you know how to make one?"
47003Do you know what ambrosial means?
47003Do you love me?
47003Do you not trust me?
47003Do you remember Miss Fairbrother, my old governess?"
47003Do you remember which I mentioned?"
47003Do you still doubt me, fear that my affection would waver?
47003Do you still love them?
47003Do you think I am skipping or playing marbles?"
47003Do you think I shall ever cease to want you, Marguerite?"
47003Do you think you are any stronger?
47003Do you understand?"
47003Do you want anything from the village?"
47003Do you want your husband to fetch you some chocolate from the village?"
47003Does God try them till they are just at breaking- point, and then gently remove them?
47003Does he mean that Dimbie''s love_ will_ stand-- last throughout the ages?
47003Does n''t the lime burn you?"
47003Does she know that the journey is nearly over?
47003For herself?"
47003Good- bye, and may I give you my card?"
47003Had Nanty''s marriage been unhappy too?
47003Had she overheard Dimbie''s remark?
47003Has Renton been to see you?"
47003Has it suffered, lived on since that cruel moment when my bicycle crushed it to earth, or was its life snatched away from it?
47003Have I that expression in my eyes-- now?
47003Have you a bit of white serge like your gown, mum?"
47003Have you ever seen trees bloom more freely?"
47003Have you made any friends here yet?"
47003Have you not met any literary people?"
47003Have you not met any nice ones?"
47003Have you seen him again?"
47003Have you taken leave of your senses?"
47003He mentioned India; he said she had lived at Dorking, or am I imagining he said that?
47003Her childhood had been sad-- an invalid mother, a drunken father----""No?"
47003Her clear eyes honest, but almost defiant?"
47003Her suffering was borne with a great patience and cheerfulness, and we cry and cry again,"Why should this be?"
47003How are they getting on at meals?"
47003How are you?"
47003How break my news?
47003How can I be tired when I do absolutely nothing but lie still, when she is quite fresh after doing the whole work of the universe?
47003How can she know what I am doing-- that I am engaged in smiling exercises?
47003How could you tell her that she might come in to hear the health of the bride and bridegroom drunk?"
47003How did he and Amelia get on?"
47003How did you manage the removal?"
47003How do people bear it-- always?
47003How do you feel when you say,''My wife''?"
47003How does she suit you?"
47003How long do you think you will continue to be so?"
47003How should I tell him?
47003How soon will dinner be ready?"
47003How''s the back?"
47003I asked,"an insect crawling over me?"
47003I expect you lies on your pocket mostly?"
47003I have an idea whether it is the beginning or the end, but if anyone were to say to me,"What is the day of the month?"
47003I know it is May, but what part of May?
47003I know she can dance, for have I not seen her executing the cakewalk in Dimbie''s tea- rose slippers?
47003I read out the good news to Dimbie exultantly and most happily:--"''LITTLE OLD PUPIL,--Shall I be glad to come to you?
47003I said to a villager-- man in corduroys--''Where is the residence of a lady and gentleman who smile, who live on sunshine and walk on air?''"
47003I suppose there are one or two knocking about?
47003I suppose you mean a first- person, diary, daily- round sort of book?"
47003I thought I saw your husband as I came through the gate?"
47003I thought you said she was to wear a cap and collar and cuffs?"
47003I told her of Aunt Letitia''s money, of my desire to remain at our cottage till the end of the year because---- Should I tell her why?
47003I wondered where they would go, how long it would be before Amelia stitched the right- hand string to her apron instead of pinning it there?
47003I would much like to have seen Marguerite, but----"What does that"but"mean I wonder?
47003Is he singing for the coming of Dimbie?
47003Is it late autumn-- there are still a few leaves on the beech tree-- or has winter arrived?
47003Is it that I know I shall have a staunch ally in Amelia?
47003Is it the men''s fault, I wonder?
47003Is n''t he a beauty?"
47003Is the witchery of spring with us once more?
47003It has been with me by day, I have whispered it in the long hours of the night,"How fares the tiny black chicken?"
47003It is hard to believe that God loves me, or why give me such happiness just for a little while only to wrest it from me?
47003It seems hard to discourage you, to talk to you thus, but whatever in the name of fortune has put such a dreadful idea into your head?"
47003It''s time he was home, is n''t it?"
47003Love?
47003No one has ever expressed a wish to float in them, so what matters?
47003No?
47003Now is n''t it?"
47003Now that Amelia has permitted us to have daily help there is nothing we want, is there?"
47003Now what shall we give him for breakfast?
47003Now why do you want to write?
47003Oh, my husband, will you ever know, ever understand how much happiness you have given to me?
47003Or could I persuade Peter to return home if I explained how matters stood?
47003Or is he a harbinger of hope?
47003P''r''aps you thought it was?"
47003Perhaps you have noticed it?
47003Perhaps you will dine with us one evening?"
47003Peter:"Am_ I_ carving this cinder or are you?"
47003Poor Help, or sensible Help?
47003Pretty country?"
47003Renton?"
47003Rovell?"
47003Shall I alter your pillow?"
47003Shall I never become quite calm and indifferent?
47003She talks to me in this strain--"Miss Fairbrother''s not going to dress you, mum?"
47003Should I tell her that which I had even withheld from Dimbie?
47003Should we not feel it less if we bravely discussed it?
47003So what am I to do?
47003Surely the knowledge of gas and water is a man''s business?"
47003Then I sweeps up the kitchen, sides up the hearth, brushes the kettle, cleans the handle----""What do you do that for?"
47003There is no other way-- treatment, massage?"
47003This collection of autumnal loveliness is for the decoration of the cottage, for is not Jane to be married to- morrow?
47003This is how he began to annoy Amelia:--[ Illustration: THIS IS HOW HE BEGAN]"What''s this?"
47003To an Indian rajah who lives in a gilded palace?"
47003Was Peter really sorry for me?
47003Was he thinking of the days when Nanty stood to him for everything adorable in woman, or was he thinking of his lost Amabella?
47003Was it by any chance"--I picked up a book--"William Watson?"
47003Was it something I said?
47003Was she poking fun at Peter''s gouty legs?
47003We do n''t want anyone but each other, do we?"
47003We''ll be our own architects-- master builders, eh?"
47003Were Amelia to know that I was two years her senior would she despise me more than ever?
47003What am I saying?
47003What am I saying?
47003What can you be doing?"
47003What corner and nook and hidden by- way and bridle- path in our beautiful Surrey were unknown to me?
47003What could I say?"
47003What did you give him for the luggage?"
47003What did you mean?"
47003What do you say to asking her to visit us for a bit when she arrives?"
47003What do you think of that, Marguerite?"
47003What do you think of your wife, sir?"
47003What has he been doing?"
47003What has the Help been doing now?
47003What is his bent?
47003What is it you want to know?"
47003What is the matter with you?"
47003What is your desire now, my princess-- to be wheeled nearer the sweet- peas?"
47003What line does he take?"
47003What made you come this wet day?"
47003What matters if their faces are tired, if some of the brightness has gone out of their eyes, if some of the freshness has left their voices?
47003What more could she possibly want?
47003What shall it be?"
47003What was I to do?
47003What was I to say?
47003What was it?
47003What''s he doing?"
47003What''s the matter with you?"
47003What?"
47003When may I get up?
47003When should I learn control?
47003When they appeared, and I had embraced them both, giving mother an extra squeeze, I said--"Dear father, whatever has been the matter?"
47003When will they arrive?"
47003When would the wedding be over?
47003Where have you left them?
47003Where is she?"
47003Where is she?"
47003Where was the field?"
47003Where would you like it?"
47003Which of these four impulses is yours?"
47003While Amelia goes for the cheese course I say,"Do you think you could like roly- poly a little less, only a_ little_ less?"
47003White tennis shoes?
47003Who could be sad on an afternoon such as this?
47003Who that is injured is not sensitive?
47003Who was he?"
47003Who''d have thought it?
47003Whose gaze, instead of mine, would rest upon those pearls?
47003Why could n''t you have said black while you were about it?"
47003Why did n''t Dimbie speak-- say something?
47003Why did n''t you accept him?"
47003Why do n''t they come in?"
47003Why do you want to know?"
47003Why do you want to know?"
47003Why do you wish to cram the house with women?"
47003Why does n''t he after?
47003Why is Dr. Renton so long in coming?
47003Why not_ The Joys of Marguerite_?
47003Why should Jane and I be of the elect among women?
47003Why should all this pain be?
47003Why should humans suffer so?
47003Why should my mind be taken up with a Cockney girl educated in the Mile End Road?
47003Why should we not begin, as he was so eager?
47003Why,"I continued, trying to divert his thoughts,"why did n''t you tell me your most important news on the day you returned home?
47003Will Dimbie ever realise how much I love him?
47003Will Dimbie remain faithful?
47003Will Dimbie''s love stand?
47003Will it always be so, I wonder?
47003Will you come?"
47003Will you promise?"
47003Will you see her?"
47003Will you think me cruel when I tell you I was almost glad?
47003Wo n''t you go now, please, Mrs.----?"
47003Would Amelia detect me?
47003Would n''t you like one, dear?"
47003Would n''t you?"
47003Would the Help think that we were all in a conspiracy to make her boil potatoes?
47003Would this too be a disappointment?
47003Would you like to feel my ribs?"
47003You do n''t care dreadfully, for are you not cool and most suitably attired as a governess?
47003You know the taste, mum?"
47003You like to know that they are there, and presently you fall asleep, and who knows what they do then?
47003You live the simple life, I suppose?"
47003You never got your hands black in lifting_ my_ kettle, did you now?"
47003You see, my father suffers from gout, and he requires a lot----""Cook, kitchen- maid, housemaid, parlour- maid?"
47003You think I am going to meddle and interfere?"
47003You''ll go for me?"
47003You''ll remember you came over to see me-- perhaps?"
47003_ That cost fourpence._""The drain- bamboo?"
47003_ What would Dimbie say_?
47003_"The Garden of Allah_?"
47003keep their reason?
47003or send them the blessing of unconsciousness?
47003what am I saying?
47003when should I cease to chafe at lying still?
