| 41219 | Will it also drive out the electric car and the railroad locomotive? |
| 44188 | Why not put a red globe around your lamp? |
| 44188 | --and that, who can say, may solve that profounder problem,"What is life?" |
| 44188 | Accordingly the public inquired,"How are you going to keep your messages secret? |
| 44188 | And was not his system of transmission too slow to make it useful, or was it not rendered uncertain by storms? |
| 44188 | At present there are two theories as to the source of energy in radium, thus stated by Professor Curie:"Where is the source of this energy? |
| 44188 | How are private business despatches to be secured against publicity?" |
| 44188 | How, then, could these men have made a furnace in which to produce this heat? |
| 44188 | If they were transmitted into space, why was it not possible for any one with a receiving instrument to take them? |
| 44188 | Is it any wonder that the temperature goes up? |
| 44188 | Is it not"perpetual motion"? |
| 44188 | Might not the signals which he received have been sent from some passing ship fitted with wireless- telegraphy apparatus? |
| 44188 | Now, do you mean to tell me that, if this whole world was made in six days, you ca n''t get together the few things you need in four?" |
| 44188 | Or, granting his ability to communicate across seas, how could he preserve the secrecy of his messages? |
| 44188 | Or, might they not have been the result of electrical disturbances in the atmosphere? |
| 44188 | Perhaps these radium investigations will lead to some explanation of that great question in science,"What is electricity?" |
| 44188 | Supposing a warship wishes to communicate with another of the fleet, what is to prevent the enemy from reading your message? |
| 44188 | Was there, then, something more powerful than uranium within the pitch- blende? |
| 44188 | What does it feel like to sail in a dirigible balloon? |
| 44188 | What is the reason for these extraordinary properties? |
| 44188 | What then was he to try? |
| 44188 | What wo n''t they claim next? |
| 44188 | Who has not read with profound interest the news of Mr. Marconi''s success, the gradual increases of his distances? |
| 44188 | Why could not some incandescent gas be made to yield the much desired light without heat? |
| 44188 | Why was this so? |
| 45139 | How? |
| 45139 | Improve it? 45139 And what are bricks, pray? 45139 But do you know how they are constructed? 45139 Can any of you get up a fountain mucilage pen or brush? 45139 Can you construct a box having a drawer so arranged that you could put an object in it, close and open it and have the object disappear? 45139 Can you observe what was the matter? 45139 Can you reason how to do it? 45139 Can you reason how to make the jaw work? 45139 Could the seat part be so hinged or arranged that the front portion would not rise, or would it answer to simply have the back hinged? 45139 Could you make a metal frame that any one, by using a strong manila paper, could make a pocketbook to hold notes, bills, etc.? 45139 Did it spin? 45139 Do I think ladies could invent? 45139 Do n''t you recall saying the horses lost a great portion of their food by tossing their heads about while eating? 45139 Do you know how they steer? 45139 Do you know they paint ships without brushes? 45139 Finally the doctor asked,Where is your father?" |
| 45139 | Has it ever occurred to you the vast amount of waste going on in putting up goods in tin packages? |
| 45139 | Have you ever seen the little tugboats doing their work, taking the big ships into dock? |
| 45139 | How do you like a wire device to be put on rolls of ribbon to keep them from unwinding in the retail stores? |
| 45139 | How many of you know the difference between a horse and a cow in getting up? |
| 45139 | If an article pleased one generation, why not the next? |
| 45139 | Many people will say to those who invent,"How did you come to think of it? |
| 45139 | Mental Nuts Can you Crack''em? |
| 45139 | Now, we observed, thought obtained an idea and constructed a device; can we improve it? |
| 45139 | Probably the most uncertain feature of a majority of patents is, will the people buy them? |
| 45139 | Suppose you had no sticky fly paper nor molasses, would you think to try a plate with water on it and the meat in the centre? |
| 45139 | We should study, ask ourselves the questions, Does it this? |
| 45139 | What day of the week was March 20, 1886? |
| 45139 | Who among the students will be first to claim it? |
| 45139 | Who will quiet the awful noise of the trolley car, particularly in cities? |
| 45139 | Why do people read fiction? |
| 45139 | Why not fit the inside of the watch case with a thin sheet revolving calendar? |
| 45139 | Will it that? |
| 45139 | a complete machine like that? |
| 19533 | But what has Eli been doing? |
| 19533 | Is it not finished? |
| 19533 | Upon what? |
| 19533 | Well, how is it done? |
| 19533 | A great general? |
| 19533 | And how did he get people to love him so? |
| 19533 | But do you suppose he could have done all these things without his great reading, or if he had been a lazy person? |
| 19533 | But how did this poor boy become a millionaire? |
| 19533 | But would the poor young men and women of New York who worked hard all day care for an education? |
| 19533 | Can you imagine a snow- white field dotted with black people? |
| 19533 | Did he live magnificently and have splendid carriages and fine diamonds? |
| 19533 | Did you ever see a daguerreotype? |
| 19533 | Do you believe in them? |
| 19533 | Do you know what a lottery is? |
| 19533 | Do you know what he chose at last? |
| 19533 | Do you know what phosphorus is? |
| 19533 | Do you not think Peter Cooper was an unusual kind of a man to lower the price of an article just because the world needed it so much? |
| 19533 | Do you not think they felt ashamed when they found how great a thing they had been laughing at? |
| 19533 | Do you remember the plant which the boys and girls of India, China, and Japan know so well? |
| 19533 | Do you suppose the thousands of people who cross by it, ever think of patient, industrious, hard- working, Robert Fulton? |
| 19533 | Do you think a lazy boy would have done that? |
| 19533 | Do you wonder that he is called"The Wizard of Menlo Park?" |
| 19533 | For what did they see? |
| 19533 | Had he given money? |
| 19533 | Has the work paid? |
| 19533 | Have you heard of General La Fayette? |
| 19533 | He died as unselfishly as he had lived, and who can measure the good he did in the world? |
| 19533 | Is it not strange that this great power should have been so long unused in the world? |
| 19533 | So he said,"Who are you and what do you want?" |
| 19533 | That did not seem very grateful, did it? |
| 19533 | Was he a president? |
| 19533 | Was n''t that a queer thought for a boy who earned only fifty cents a week? |
| 19533 | What do you think Mr. Edison called this machine? |
| 19533 | Where do you think he was found? |
| 19533 | Who was this man for whom the world mourned on that April day? |
| 19533 | Why, then, was he loved by so many? |
| 19533 | Would it not seem strange to us now to wait for our news so long? |
| 19533 | Would you like a picture of Mr. Edison? |
| 19533 | Would you like to know why, fifty years later, a million bales were sent from America? |
| 19533 | Yes, but other men in our country do that Had he traveled abroad, and so become widely known? |
| 29241 | And what did you think? |
| 29241 | And what was the discovery? |
| 29241 | Do you see anything? |
| 29241 | Do you think that this electric light will become a vacuum tube for photographing, from the stomach, any part of the abdomen or thorax? |
| 29241 | Do you think the rays can be so modified as to photograph the organs of the human body? |
| 29241 | How did you take the first hand photograph? |
| 29241 | Is it electricity? |
| 29241 | Is it furnished by the metallic chips which are separated from the metal? |
| 29241 | Is it light? |
| 29241 | Is the invisible visible? |
| 29241 | Now, Professor,said I,"will you tell me the history of the discovery?" |
| 29241 | What is it? |
| 29241 | What of that? |
| 29241 | What was the date? |
| 29241 | You ask me,said a great physicist,"if I have a theory of the_ universe_? |
| 29241 | You know the apparatus for introducing the electric light into the stomach? |
| 29241 | 155 STEPHENSON, GEORGE THE"ROCKET"LOCOMOTIVE AND ITS VICTORY Shall it be a system of stationary engines or locomotives? |
| 29241 | And here the question may arise in some minds, What is the use of it all? |
| 29241 | And what is friction in the last analysis but the production of motion in undesired forms, the allowing valuable energy to do useless work? |
| 29241 | And what is it that moves when we speak of conduction? |
| 29241 | Can a being of intellect, conscience, and aspiration have sprung at any time, however remote, from the same stock as the orang and the chimpanzee? |
| 29241 | Dr. Franklin says to such,''What is the use of an infant?'' |
| 29241 | In answer to a question,"What of the future?" |
| 29241 | Is there anything that, with propriety, can be called caloric? |
| 29241 | Still, if needed, an answer of another kind might be given to the question"what is its use?" |
| 29241 | The question will naturally arise, Through what length of wire can the telephone be used? |
| 29241 | Then I said:"Where did you first photograph living bones?" |
| 29241 | What Leyden jar could ever be constructed of the size and revealing power of an Atlantic cable? |
| 29241 | What must be the consequence? |
| 29241 | What of such fibres as hemp or silk, if saturated with tar or some other good non- conductor? |
| 29241 | What was the reason of this failure? |
| 2900 | Dead, sir? |
| 2900 | For what, my dear friend? |
| 2900 | Nature has solved it, and why not man? |
| 2900 | What does Dr. Franklin conceive to be the use of this new invention? |
| 2900 | What is the use of a new- born child? |
| 2900 | And who is that somebody? |
| 2900 | And would it not be manly? |
| 2900 | And would it not be proper? |
| 2900 | How long before Kipling''s vision in"The Night Mail"becomes a full reality? |
| 2900 | How long before the air craft comes to play a great role in the world''s transportation? |
| 2900 | How soon will it take place? |
| 2900 | How was the newspaper to cope with the situation and make use of the news that was coming in and would be coming in more and more over the wires? |
| 2900 | I ask again, if there is anybody else than Goodyear who made this invention, who is he? |
| 2900 | I said hurriedly:"Would ten dollars be of any service?" |
| 2900 | If Charles Goodyear did not make this discovery, who did make it? |
| 2900 | If steam could be made to drive a boat on the water, why not a wagon on the land? |
| 2900 | Is the discovery so plain that it might have come about by accident? |
| 2900 | Is there a man in the world who found out that fact before Charles Goodyear? |
| 2900 | Man has always dreamed of flight; but when did men first actually fly? |
| 2900 | Now who made this discovery? |
| 2900 | On what continent does he live? |
| 2900 | One of the passengers asked this question:"Is the velocity of electricity reduced by the length of its conducting wire?" |
| 2900 | Said Webster:"And now is Charles Goodyear the discoverer of this invention of vulcanized rubber? |
| 2900 | What books treat of him? |
| 2900 | What man among all the men on earth has seen him, known him, or named him? |
| 2900 | Where is he? |
| 2900 | Who did make it? |
| 2900 | Who has heard of him? |
| 2900 | Who is he? |
| 2900 | Who is he? |
| 2900 | Why had Fulton succeeded where others had failed? |
| 2900 | Why not? |
| 46512 | Dost thou love life? 46512 --Which was the best way, and why? 46512 And is there killing competition in the class to which my invention belongs? 46512 But how can you be SURE you_ are_ right? 46512 Can my invention be made to do better work by putting in gears in place of that sprocket chain? 46512 Can they do so at a good profit? 46512 Can you manufacture your invention and sell it at a good profit in competition with others? 46512 Do we know better? 46512 Fifth: Is there a large, constant, public demand for my invention, or its product? 46512 First: Would it be possible to cover my idea or invention by a good, strong, basic patent? 46512 For instance, the perfected telephote? 46512 Fourth: Does my idea possess conspicuous novelty and superior merit over similar devices already on the market? 46512 Has it good selling and talking points, or do you need to make excuses for it? 46512 How manyblasted hopes,"vanishing"air castles"; how much poverty, how many wrecked homes, how many suicides( but why prolong this list?) |
| 46512 | In the course of the same examination he was asked,"But would not men and animals become frightened by the red hot smoke pipe?" |
| 46512 | Is the field now over- crowded? |
| 46512 | Is there a large, constant, public demand for my invention or its product? |
| 46512 | Second: Is my invention mechanically practicable? |
| 46512 | Sixth: Is there killing competition in the class to which my invention belongs? |
| 46512 | The seal was just as red, the ribbon just as blue, they cost just as much, the drawings were just as clear-- then why did they fail? |
| 46512 | Then what happens? |
| 46512 | Third: Can my invention be more cheaply manufactured than similar devices already on the market? |
| 46512 | What will be the next wonderful invention? |
| 46512 | Who will have the temerity to say when and where this development will stop, when Solomon, centuries ago, thought they had reached the limit? |
| 46512 | Why did they fail? |
| 46512 | Why? |
| 46512 | Will a stranger to you buy your invention in preference to the ones already on the market? |
| 46512 | Will the wholesalers handle it? |
| 46512 | Wo n''t a cotter pin be cheaper and better in place of that nut? |
| 46512 | Wo n''t a steel casting be cheaper and better than that expensive machined steel bearing? |
| 46512 | Would canvas be cheaper and better than leather in that belt? |
| 46512 | Would not my machine do better work and cost less if I stuck to just this one operation? |
| 46512 | to which question Stephenson replied,"But how would they know that it was not painted?" |
| 60507 | But Mr. Piltdon,remonstrated Feetch unsteadily under his employer''s glare,"do n''t you remember? |
| 60507 | Do you realize that Piltdon Opener will soon be forced to close down, throwing all your former associates out of work? 60507 Do you realize, man, this is the fourteenth raise I''ve offered you? |
| 60507 | Forever, Feetch? |
| 60507 | How many times must I tell you? 60507 Is this talk that''s going around the plant true? |
| 60507 | No, I----What did you say? |
| 60507 | Then you do n''t want to hear about my discovery of a way to prevent the cans from coming back? |
| 60507 | Therefore, might it not be that an infinite number of laminated blocks exist--? |
| 60507 | Vegetable soup or spinach? |
| 60507 | What''s the difference? 60507 What''s the matter, Feetch? |
| 60507 | Where did the can go, do you suppose? |
| 60507 | You''re positive, Feetch? |
| 60507 | A total increase of one hundred and twenty- six dollars? |
| 60507 | Are we dealing with a kinetic or a kinematic effect? |
| 60507 | As well as anything you may produce in the field within a year after leaving our employ? |
| 60507 | But how could he? |
| 60507 | Do n''t you see what you''ve got here? |
| 60507 | How could you set a time limit on research and development? |
| 60507 | How to meet this four month dead- line? |
| 60507 | I recommend--""Are you still worrying about that?" |
| 60507 | Is this what I''m paying you for?" |
| 60507 | May I remind you that under our standard patent agreement, all rights to your invention belong to the company? |
| 60507 | People throwing rocks at your house again? |
| 60507 | Piltdon is a household word, but who has heard of Feetch? |
| 60507 | Piltdon threw the paper to the floor and screamed:"Gentlemen, will you be a party to this?" |
| 60507 | The thing can be duplicated, ca n''t it?" |
| 60507 | Think? |
| 60507 | Was it right to let all these people lose their jobs? |
| 60507 | We''re making money, that''s all that counts, eh Feetch?" |
| 60507 | Well,"--Feetch blew his nose--"how do we stand, Hanson?" |
| 60507 | What forces have we uncovered here? |
| 60507 | What had happened, to the proud dream he once had, the dream of exploring uncharted engineering regions, of unlimited time to investigate and develop? |
| 60507 | What makes them disappear? |
| 60507 | What masses may be critical here? |
| 60507 | What motions can we plot in the area of disappearance and what are their analytical mathematical formulae? |
| 60507 | What now? |
| 60507 | What transformations of energy are involved? |
| 60507 | Where do the cans go, I wonder?" |
| 60507 | Where do the cans go? |
| 60507 | Why did n''t you tell me? |
| 60507 | Why do n''t you come back to us and change all that, Feetch? |
| 60507 | You got your job back, did n''t you?" |
| 59652 | And about his being left- handed? |
| 59652 | Anything new? |
| 59652 | But you did n''t laugh at him? |
| 59652 | But-- why? |
| 59652 | Can you get close enough to get me through that window? |
| 59652 | Can you give me any idea at all as to the location? |
| 59652 | Congratulations for what? |
| 59652 | Do you know what we have here, Forsdon? |
| 59652 | Do you know where he is now? |
| 59652 | Do you want to see them? |
| 59652 | Have you heard from him since you came back? |
| 59652 | How did they happen to pick him up? |
| 59652 | How did you manage to invent that thing? |
| 59652 | How long ago was that? |
| 59652 | How well did you know him? |
| 59652 | Is Mike in trouble? |
| 59652 | Is there anything else you remember about him? |
| 59652 | May I take you to dinner? |
| 59652 | See that? |
| 59652 | Something wrong? |
| 59652 | Was he-- interested in you? |
| 59652 | What do you think? |
| 59652 | What happened to Gregory? |
| 59652 | What''s good about it? |
| 59652 | What''s that? |
| 59652 | When is this glad event going to take place? |
| 59652 | When? |
| 59652 | When? |
| 59652 | Where the hell have you been? 59652 Where was he when you saw him last?" |
| 59652 | Why did n''t you say so? |
| 59652 | Why not? |
| 59652 | Why? |
| 59652 | Will you trust me? 59652 You mean-- Mike?" |
| 59652 | You think that would solve the problem? 59652 You wanted information?" |
| 59652 | You''re certain about the limp? |
| 59652 | Anything else?" |
| 59652 | But what about assault, or rape, or murder? |
| 59652 | But who would have thought Gregory could make like a human fly? |
| 59652 | But....""But what?" |
| 59652 | Forsdon?" |
| 59652 | I was thinking, how stupid can we get? |
| 59652 | Right?" |
| 59652 | So it raises an interesting question: Is it possible to change the future?" |
| 59652 | Something wrong?" |
| 59652 | Want me to lose my license? |
| 59652 | What was I thinking about? |
| 59652 | Will you call your aunt, now, and make the arrangements? |
| 59652 | You ask me what''s good about it?" |
| 59652 | You saw the thing?" |
| 46232 | And here,said the boy;"what''s this?" |
| 46232 | But where does visual persistence come in? |
| 46232 | But,again asked our friend,"is n''t there a great deal of valuable electrical power wasted in that way?" |
| 46232 | But,answered the boy,"there are other new kinds of electric lights besides tungsten, are n''t there?" |
| 46232 | Did the pictures move very much? |
| 46232 | Doctor Tesla, can you tell us, please, just how far you have developed this invention for the wireless transmission of power? |
| 46232 | How did you come to invent your turbine while you were busy with your wonderful electrical inventions? |
| 46232 | How do you use it? |
| 46232 | How does it work? |
| 46232 | How much have you accomplished in telautomatics at this time? |
| 46232 | How much horsepower did you say this plant would send out? |
| 46232 | How will these airships be propelled? |
| 46232 | Is it a gasoline engine? |
| 46232 | Is it necessary,asked the boy,"to have your power plant erected near the waterfall, or other means of producing the electricity?" |
| 46232 | It looks simple enough, does n''t it? |
| 46232 | Just for instance, how could telautomatics have saved the_ Titanic_? |
| 46232 | Lights up all the dingy corners, does n''t it? |
| 46232 | What about lightning? |
| 46232 | What application will you first make of the wireless transmission of power? |
| 46232 | What are some of the main improvements of the last few years? |
| 46232 | What are they for? |
| 46232 | What is this principle? |
| 46232 | What is tungsten? |
| 46232 | Who invented tungsten lights? |
| 46232 | Who was Santos- Dumont? 46232 Why ca n''t we make a glider that would be a success?" |
| 46232 | Why could n''t I build a little model aeroplane? |
| 46232 | Why could n''t I make a mechanical automaton that would represent me in every way, except thought? |
| 46232 | Will you go out into the country with me some Saturday and help me? |
| 46232 | Will you help me build one? |
| 46232 | You see this bag of coarse black powder that looks like iron filings? 46232 After the remarkable test Orville Wright was asked,Have you solved real bird flight?" |
| 46232 | But what was the result of this temperature which staggers the imagination? |
| 46232 | Of course the boy jumped at the opportunity, for what real boy would miss a chance to find out all about a new and powerful engine? |
| 46232 | What happened? |
| 46232 | What happens? |
| 46232 | What was that first trans- Channel flight? |
| 46232 | Why do they always talk about the first Rheims meet?" |
| 46232 | Why was it that the art of air navigation sought by man since the earliest times should have been discovered and mastered so quickly? |
| 46232 | Why was this? |
| 46232 | Would any child stay at home if he knew such a treat as this was in store for him at school? |
| 46232 | Would he ever be likely to forget what he had learned about Africa?" |
| 46232 | said the boy,"how could any one ever measure such a heat as that?" |
| 59323 | A week? |
| 59323 | All right, then what else but a flying particle could drill a hole in a man''s forehead the diameter of a piece of 16-gauge wire? |
| 59323 | And empty lots and all sidewalks and streets and public buildings and the whole damned outdoors plus the indoors? |
| 59323 | And have them come bleeding back after a few weeks? |
| 59323 | And the parks? 59323 Any chance that he might recover consciousness?" |
| 59323 | Can you hear me? |
| 59323 | Corpses bleed, do n''t they? |
| 59323 | Good Lord, man, have you no imagination? |
| 59323 | How did this happen? |
| 59323 | I figured you''d be waiting for me, Lieutenant, but you know what? |
| 59323 | Like quarantining the schools and the playgrounds? |
| 59323 | Like what? |
| 59323 | Now what? |
| 59323 | Relax? 59323 Run into them?" |
| 59323 | So it just shoots stuff off into another dimension? |
| 59323 | So your little toy was harmless? |
| 59323 | Still looking for a motive for murder, are n''t you, Lieutenant? |
| 59323 | That much I grasp, but what good is it except as a demonstration of a piece of pure scientific research? |
| 59323 | The fever? |
| 59323 | Then what are you waiting for? |
| 59323 | Trying to steal my brother''s other invention, are you? 59323 What do the x- rays show?" |
| 59323 | What do you mean? |
| 59323 | What happens when some kid jams his gun against a light- pole or an automobile... or the night lock on the First National Bank? |
| 59323 | What''s the use? 59323 Why did you ask for homicide when you called the police? |
| 59323 | You have n''t even been to see him? |
| 59323 | A bombardment from the sky? |
| 59323 | A detector? |
| 59323 | A hundred times? |
| 59323 | All right, suppose a jury would accept such an impalpable theory as a motive, then what? |
| 59323 | And all back yards and front yards?" |
| 59323 | Anything else I should do?" |
| 59323 | Are you sure you want me to try?" |
| 59323 | But ca n''t you get the dope you want from his brother?" |
| 59323 | Collins, our print man, said,"Why not just shoot them back into wherever it is they go, with another i- Gun?" |
| 59323 | Do n''t touch a thing in this room... or did you already?" |
| 59323 | Do you see why I wanted to keep it a secret until I could patent it?" |
| 59323 | Eight-- ten weeks ago? |
| 59323 | Fifty? |
| 59323 | From now on, understand?" |
| 59323 | How come you did n''t tell anybody?" |
| 59323 | How long ago? |
| 59323 | I suppose they told you that?" |
| 59323 | Or let''s put it this way: What makes you think it was n''t an accident?" |
| 59323 | See that?" |
| 59323 | Suppose, I mused on my way back to the station, that Calvin had refused to let Leo commercialize on his discovery? |
| 59323 | Ten? |
| 59323 | We ca n''t do anything about it, so why drive people crazy with fear?" |
| 59323 | What about the murder- attempt angle?" |
| 59323 | What did they look like?" |
| 59323 | What is it?" |
| 59323 | What would be cheap enough to distribute universally, yet effective enough to give you positive warning? |
| 59323 | What''s so suspicious about humoring my brother''s research?" |
| 59323 | When all over the country people are tearing their bodies to pieces? |
| 59323 | Who''s his beneficiary when he dies?" |
| 59323 | You do know now?" |
| 59323 | You know that, do n''t you? |
| 59323 | _ Durstine, who would fire a 20-year man without a qualm if he caught a single trace of beer on his breath on duty._"What else is new?" |
| 32591 | ''What for?'' |
| 32591 | And if we refuse? |
| 32591 | And why should n''t I be inventing, Joseph Paulsen? |
| 32591 | Are you completely crazy, Henry? 32591 But how''d you know he was in the nudist camp?" |
| 32591 | But scientists all make mistakes sometimes, Joseph--"And how about that time you wiped out every peony within ten miles? 32591 By the way, how''s the work coming at the laboratory?" |
| 32591 | Could n''t you ask that all red- headed men be brought to the gate? |
| 32591 | Do n''t you remember what I said to you this morning about those devil''s glasses of yours transposing letters instead of just reversing them? 32591 Do you think I like to talk to you like this?" |
| 32591 | Do you think it''s pleasant for me? |
| 32591 | How would I know anyone was there? 32591 How?" |
| 32591 | I certainly ca n''t be blamed if the pebbles and twigs hurt my feet, can I? |
| 32591 | Is n''t it a wonderful invention? 32591 Is there anything you wo n''t do for money?" |
| 32591 | Just what principle do these things work on, Henry? |
| 32591 | Of course it was all an accident when you rendered every one of our guinea pigs sterile, was n''t it? |
| 32591 | Oh, that? |
| 32591 | Oh, you''re not, are n''t you? |
| 32591 | See, Joseph? |
| 32591 | The nudist camp? |
| 32591 | Then will you be good? 32591 Then you admit you''re a spy?" |
| 32591 | Well? |
| 32591 | What did he look like? |
| 32591 | What do you mean, we might all have been killed? |
| 32591 | What do you mean,''the man who bought your X- ray glasses''? |
| 32591 | What for? |
| 32591 | What is it? 32591 What''s the matter?" |
| 32591 | What? |
| 32591 | Where did you meet this red- headed man? 32591 Why do n''t you tell me something new?" |
| 32591 | Why do n''t you try the nudist camp? |
| 32591 | Why does that surprise you so? |
| 32591 | Why should n''t I have? |
| 32591 | Why''d you think I grabbed you? |
| 32591 | Why, about where to start to hunt--"Yes? |
| 32591 | You can see you have n''t a chance to get away--"Have n''t I? |
| 32591 | You did n''t think you could come in the way you are, did you? |
| 32591 | You did n''t think you guys surprised me, did you? |
| 32591 | You mean there was n''t any danger of that stuff going off? |
| 32591 | You see, gentlemen? |
| 32591 | You? |
| 32591 | *****"So what do you plan to do with us?" |
| 32591 | After all, what''s wrong with my liking the cute way that girl wears the bangs across her forehead?" |
| 32591 | And that you told me it would take a special lens to straighten them out?" |
| 32591 | And, again glaring:"Do you mean to tell me you ca n''t understand why that stuff he had in the package did n''t go off, you abbreviated atom?" |
| 32591 | Are you all right?" |
| 32591 | Coggleston, I ca n''t tell you how sorry I am--""What did he say?" |
| 32591 | Do you come quiet, or do I have to blow us all to smithereens?" |
| 32591 | Do you understand me?" |
| 32591 | Do you understand?" |
| 32591 | Has he lost us?" |
| 32591 | Has n''t he red hair?" |
| 32591 | Have you thought of something else?" |
| 32591 | How could you see them, binoculars or not?" |
| 32591 | How much''ll you take?" |
| 32591 | How''d you come to sell him the glasses?" |
| 32591 | I mean--""What do you mean?" |
| 32591 | Is n''t it?" |
| 32591 | Let me ask you a question, Mister Officer: how are you going to identify the man who bought my glasses if I''m not along?" |
| 32591 | Remember what happened when you decided to find the universal solvent[3]?" |
| 32591 | See her? |
| 32591 | Then, to his friend, the major:"Do you see him? |
| 32591 | Then:"Could he have gotten the formula, Ray? |
| 32591 | Was it anywhere he could see it through those devil''s glasses?" |
| 32591 | Was that a mistake too?" |
| 32591 | What is it this time?" |
| 32591 | When we get back, what do we find?" |
| 32591 | Where is he?" |
| 32591 | Why did you jump so when I mentioned the spy was believed to have red hair?" |
| 32591 | Why would a spy be in a nudist camp?" |
| 32591 | Will you behave yourself?" |
| 43965 | And was his brain always in condition to receive such a picture, or only seldom? |
| 43965 | But can we even imagine civilization to exist as it exists today, if stereotyping had not been invented? |
| 43965 | But how could he get across the channel, in the face of the British fleet? |
| 43965 | But what do we know of in nature that looks like a wheel, or that is used for a similar purpose? |
| 43965 | But will they together produce happiness? |
| 43965 | But would not these take from us our God- granted free will? |
| 43965 | But would this be true? |
| 43965 | Can anyone imagine the New York of today without passenger elevators? |
| 43965 | Can anyone suppose that the steam engine, or the electric telegraph, or the powder- gun took us as long a step upward to civilization as did papyrus? |
| 43965 | Can anyone think that the telephone was as novel or as important as the wheel? |
| 43965 | Can anything be less inspiring than C= E/ R? |
| 43965 | Can this happen to our Machine? |
| 43965 | Courage? |
| 43965 | Did Cæsar make an invention? |
| 43965 | Does he know that his invention is now used all over the civilized world? |
| 43965 | Does not this process involve invention, in cases where the possible occasions are not of the ordinary and expectable kind? |
| 43965 | For what greater pleasure is there than in expending one''s natural energies under pleasant conditions? |
| 43965 | Genius? |
| 43965 | Has this influence been beneficent? |
| 43965 | How has she been able to do it? |
| 43965 | If it was not invented, how was it brought into being? |
| 43965 | If it was, who was the inventor? |
| 43965 | If so, does the knowledge give him pleasure? |
| 43965 | In such cases, does it not require imagination to foresee the possible occasions, and form a correct picture on the mind of the resulting situations? |
| 43965 | In the same year the discovery( or was it the invention?) |
| 43965 | In this sense, may I reverently claim the Christian Religion as an invention, one of the greatest inventions ever made? |
| 43965 | In what did its superiority consist? |
| 43965 | In what direction will it proceed? |
| 43965 | Is the condition of anarchy more abnormal than the condition of law and order? |
| 43965 | Is this fact realized? |
| 43965 | Now is there any one thing more dangerous to a man than to carry in his mind an incorrect picture of himself? |
| 43965 | Of the two changes, it would be easy to say that the change made in the men is the more important; but would it be truthful to say so? |
| 43965 | Of what are they receptive? |
| 43965 | Of what avail is it to train men to handle the separate parts of the Machine, if the Machine as a whole is to be handled by untrained men? |
| 43965 | The thought of doing it must have come to him:--how else could he get it? |
| 43965 | This being done, does it not require the exercise of the constructive faculty afterwards, to make a concrete and effective plan to meet them? |
| 43965 | This did not occur until about the year 1434 A. D. Why had not someone done this in all the long centuries? |
| 43965 | Was there a difference mentally? |
| 43965 | What caused the deterioration of the Roman people? |
| 43965 | What does explain them? |
| 43965 | What was the cause of the enormous difference between the groups? |
| 43965 | What was the determining difference between Napoleon''s plan and that of the great engineer? |
| 43965 | What was this difference in civilization due to? |
| 43965 | What were the characteristics of that genius? |
| 43965 | Whence did they come? |
| 43965 | Whence did they come? |
| 43965 | Which is an artificial product of man''s invention? |
| 43965 | Which was the condition of primitive man? |
| 43965 | Who invented the wheel, and when and where did he invent it? |
| 43965 | Who? |
| 43965 | Why are we not now inventing a great many more things than we are? |
| 43965 | Why can not some one invent a device that will automatically regulate our intake valves? |
| 43965 | Why did the world wait several thousand years before Wise invented the metal pen? |
| 43965 | Why had Spain fallen so far below a country so new, living three thousand miles away from the civilization of Europe? |
| 43965 | Why had it not occurred to them? |
| 43965 | Why is ignorance of the parts and the whole of their respective responsibilities permitted in officials occupying higher places in the governments? |
| 43965 | Why was the sewing- machine not invented before? |
| 43965 | Why, why? |
| 43965 | Why? |
| 43965 | Will anyone declare that the railroad ushered in as great an epoch as the sailing ship? |
| 43965 | Would not all the business of New York be paralyzed in a single day? |
| 43965 | Would not the whole civilized world be thrown into chaos as soon as the fact were realized? |
| 43965 | Would there not be a panic within twenty- four hours or less? |
| 43965 | _ Never?_ It may never occur; but something approximating it will occur, if history is to be as much like past history as history usually has been. |
| 43965 | _ Why?_ It is followed in all civilized armies and navies. |
| 43965 | in what way did it help him to win so many victories and extricate himself from so many perilous situations? |
| 40276 | ''What Career?'' 40276 And can you spin, Blanche?" |
| 40276 | And what is it? |
| 40276 | And who invented railroads? |
| 40276 | And wouldst thou not call us then? |
| 40276 | Are you going to read us that part in the book, Clem? |
| 40276 | But does not all this indicate that we might spend a few days in looking up inventions? |
| 40276 | But who is the inventor? |
| 40276 | Could you tell us,said Fergus,"what is the cause of the depression in the cotton- manufacture?" |
| 40276 | Did he write memoirs? |
| 40276 | Did n''t Dr. Franklin invent the telegraph? |
| 40276 | Did you ever read''Frank''? |
| 40276 | Did you know him? |
| 40276 | Do n''t you think now, Uncle Fritz, we had better go into the kitchen? |
| 40276 | Do you not think that all the great things have been invented, Uncle Fritz? |
| 40276 | He said this in substance:''What will future times say of us, the men of the end of the nineteenth century? 40276 He''ll be in fine spirits now with his engine?" |
| 40276 | How do you know he was a German? |
| 40276 | How long has this been true? |
| 40276 | Is it certain that Blanche is to go? |
| 40276 | Is it the Beccaria who did about capital punishment? |
| 40276 | Is not that like the dear German man that wrote this? 40276 Oh, dear, Uncle Fritz, do you know?" |
| 40276 | Should not I have come? |
| 40276 | Were they Dr. Franklin''s musical glasses? |
| 40276 | What did he invent? |
| 40276 | What did he invent? |
| 40276 | What is the association between Franklin and Robinson Crusoe? |
| 40276 | What kind of a telegraph was it? |
| 40276 | Who is he? |
| 40276 | Whom shall we read about first? |
| 40276 | Whom should you have told us about, had it rained? |
| 40276 | Why should it be well, Mabel? |
| 40276 | Yes,said Fanchon;"but Harry says,''The rapid car is to come, and I dare say that will be accomplished soon, papa; do not you think it will?''" |
| 40276 | You shall not talk such stuff.--Uncle Fritz, what books shall I bring you? |
| 40276 | ''But what has Eli been doing?'' |
| 40276 | And if magic had not got a bad name, should we not call the men of science magicians now?" |
| 40276 | And then Archimedes pokes his head out through one of the holes, and says in Greek,''How do you like that, my friends?'' |
| 40276 | And upon a time went the burgesses''daughters to play in the palace and beheld the metal man; and one of them asked in sport, why he shot not? |
| 40276 | And with this he sang him a song to his own music as to times and seasons, and went on,"Do you tell us, Copper- nose, when Time is? |
| 40276 | But what substance? |
| 40276 | Can we wonder that his neighbors thought him mad? |
| 40276 | Did he not invent hot baths?" |
| 40276 | Did his eyes deceive him? |
| 40276 | Do you not know that it is not nice to interrupt?" |
| 40276 | Do you remember that part where Frank lifted up the skirts of his coat when passing through the greenhouse?" |
| 40276 | Do you use this in America?'' |
| 40276 | Give him but an oven and would he not turn you out fire- proof and cold- proof India- rubber, as fast as a baker can produce loaves of bread? |
| 40276 | He had tried all sorts of materials; why had none of them melted? |
| 40276 | He said to himself:"Why be sad, when you have found what you were seeking for? |
| 40276 | He then addressed himself to me, and said,''Benvenuto, if you had the opportunity, would you have the heart to make an attempt to fly?'' |
| 40276 | How was I to communicate my wishes to the landlady? |
| 40276 | Now really, Uncle Fritz, you must n''t laugh; but do you not think that most of the people whose lives we read have to begin horridly? |
| 40276 | The question then occurred, How was this to be avoided or remedied? |
| 40276 | Then called the devil dreadfully to Virgilius and said,"What have ye done?" |
| 40276 | They will say,"What was the ban on those men, what numbed them or held them still, as if in fear? |
| 40276 | WHAT CAREER? |
| 40276 | Was he married to all five at once? |
| 40276 | Was it to be a failure or a success? |
| 40276 | What hath all my knowledge of nature''s secrets gained me? |
| 40276 | When I arose, which was not till about noon, she accosted me in high spirits, and said merrily,''Is this the man that thought himself dying? |
| 40276 | Who has seen any of his work?" |
| 40276 | Why could they not embody them in useful inventions? |
| 40276 | Why did they not apply in daily life their own great discoveries of the central laws of Nature? |
| 40276 | Will the Vesuvius pass its dividend, or will it scatter its blessings right and left, so that we can go to Paris and all the world be happy?" |
| 40276 | said Blanche, in mock heroics;"are you in the sacred circle which decides? |
| 40276 | said Fergus;"and then may we not burn up old Fogarty''s barn with burning- glasses?" |
| 40276 | to all of them when he was only fourteen? |
| 51740 | Ah-- and some antibiotic? |
| 51740 | Are n''t there slums and unsightly monuments in England, too? |
| 51740 | Are_ all_ the admen part of this? |
| 51740 | But why a Royalty Party in a democracy? |
| 51740 | But-- don''t they have to wait for him? 51740 Can I do anything for you? |
| 51740 | Can it jump off? 51740 Can it jump off?" |
| 51740 | Delia, do you know what we must do when we reach England? 51740 Did you know that machine on the Silvertongue roof could get at us inside our own homes?" |
| 51740 | Do the English know? |
| 51740 | Do you know what that machine can really do, girlie? |
| 51740 | Dr. Feld,said Dr. Gesner,"will you show the adman out?" |
| 51740 | For the information? 51740 Has Dr. Gesner been here?" |
| 51740 | Has the world really been taken over by admen? |
| 51740 | How did he react? |
| 51740 | How does it sound? |
| 51740 | How is it done? |
| 51740 | How is life in the Toadstool? |
| 51740 | How''s the patient? |
| 51740 | Is Mr. Barger awake? |
| 51740 | Is it the one with the new radio-- the radio- thing on top? |
| 51740 | Is there_ anywhere_ where you can still buy matches? |
| 51740 | Know what? |
| 51740 | Miss Knox? |
| 51740 | No examination, Doctor? |
| 51740 | Oh, is that so? 51740 Session over what? |
| 51740 | The what? |
| 51740 | What bottle? |
| 51740 | What color socks, Doctor? |
| 51740 | What do you mean, in time? |
| 51740 | What happened? |
| 51740 | What information? |
| 51740 | What is it? |
| 51740 | What was himself doing in the hospital at this hour? |
| 51740 | What''s so terrible? |
| 51740 | What''s the matter? |
| 51740 | What? |
| 51740 | Where''s the socket? |
| 51740 | Who is n''t? |
| 51740 | Who was that big shot in the motorchair? |
| 51740 | Why England? |
| 51740 | Why are they all flying home tonight, and we have to leave? 51740 Why do you think the Royalties want government control of the whole invention?" |
| 51740 | Why? |
| 51740 | Why? |
| 51740 | With or without the bottle? |
| 51740 | With you? |
| 51740 | You mean float visitors through the air? |
| 51740 | You mean hide behind the door with a wave compressor and push chairs around? 51740 You mean the new radiocompressor on the Silvertongue factory?" |
| 51740 | You saw those two men from the Christian E. Lodge Corporation-- Silvertongue, that is-- who came this afternoon to see Barger? 51740 You see that radio presser?" |
| 51740 | And will you_ stop_ blowing in my face?" |
| 51740 | Anything?" |
| 51740 | But it''s safe there; it wo n''t be subverted to thought control and sales engineering.... Tell me, Delia, is Dr. Gesner on this ambulance? |
| 51740 | But who is in the other compartment? |
| 51740 | But, Mr. Barger-- Bill-- doesn''t light- wave interference need two overlapping projectors plus the subliminal image? |
| 51740 | Carl, are we-- are we a quarter of the way to England?" |
| 51740 | Did you ever see a cat that could n''t jump? |
| 51740 | Do n''t you care about your reputation at all?" |
| 51740 | Do you ladies know what it does?" |
| 51740 | Do you see the Silvertongue factory? |
| 51740 | Do you understand that?" |
| 51740 | Do you understand? |
| 51740 | Does n''t he have a family?" |
| 51740 | Dr. Brooks plugged into an overhead beam and the mutape immediately began to chatter:"What is your first name, Miss Knox?" |
| 51740 | Gesner?" |
| 51740 | Got a cigarette? |
| 51740 | His nurses are terribly worried about him, and his wife-- oh, Miss Knox, do you suppose he drinks?" |
| 51740 | His throat is cut--""_ No!_ Is he alive?" |
| 51740 | How did you yourself react-- like a woman, no?" |
| 51740 | I had a big deal going-- my Armenian partner and me, we were buying up neckties to sell in the hospital....""_ What_ do you know? |
| 51740 | Is_ that_ so? |
| 51740 | Like that?" |
| 51740 | No fooling, Hilda, you see the Silvertongue cigarette factory across the river?" |
| 51740 | Now tell me, where is this other man who was put out of commission by these-- these throat specialists? |
| 51740 | Now will you please let me look at my patient?" |
| 51740 | Sandwich? |
| 51740 | She wet her lips and said,"Did I tell you I''m supposed to wear glasses?" |
| 51740 | The ones on motorskates?" |
| 51740 | We must go through immediately before direct control and defenses build against us-- morphine, why did you not give me morphine? |
| 51740 | Why do you think they would like to have the invention? |
| 51740 | Why?" |
| 51740 | You abolished laryngitis; why should it come to me now? |
| 51740 | You know what sound a whirlybird makes, do n''t you?" |
| 51740 | You mean you do n''t_ know_?" |
| 50998 | Any other information? |
| 50998 | Anything else you''d like to know? |
| 50998 | As a salesman? |
| 50998 | At the agency? |
| 50998 | Business? 50998 But would n''t I be a lot safer if I just concentrated on getting back to the hotel?" |
| 50998 | Departed? |
| 50998 | Did you notice,he asked,"that there was no apparent change in clothing and makeup, yet she seemed younger, more attractive?" |
| 50998 | Did you? |
| 50998 | Do you know how many stars there are in the Galaxy? |
| 50998 | Got what? |
| 50998 | Have you been sleeping? 50998 Hot, is n''t it?" |
| 50998 | How can anyone use another''s identification? 50998 How long would it take to get there using local transportation, star- hopping?" |
| 50998 | I did? 50998 I mean, is it safe for a stranger to walk through the city?" |
| 50998 | I thought you''d ask which was the camouflage-- the person you see here, or the one at the Bureau? |
| 50998 | Identification tab? 50998 Interpret body data, do you?" |
| 50998 | Investigate it remotely? |
| 50998 | Is she dead? |
| 50998 | Is this a part of the Earth life process? |
| 50998 | Is this necessary? |
| 50998 | Long claws? 50998 Maybe,"replied Dimanche,"you think the crowd around us is composed solely of patrons?" |
| 50998 | Now what? |
| 50998 | Now, then, what''s your problem? |
| 50998 | Planetary drive? |
| 50998 | Ridiculous, is n''t it? 50998 Special knowledge of a thousand races? |
| 50998 | Stimi? 50998 Stuck?" |
| 50998 | Then why are we wasting our time? |
| 50998 | Weapons? |
| 50998 | Well, is n''t it an opportunity of a sort? 50998 What I want to know is,"said Dimanche,"why such precautions as electronic guards? |
| 50998 | What about this Murra Foray? |
| 50998 | What above my right knee? |
| 50998 | What did you do? |
| 50998 | What did you project? |

| 50998 | Where shall I send the strips? |
| 50998 | Where? |
| 50998 | Who are you? |
| 50998 | Why all the redecoration? 50998 Why did he choose me?" |
| 50998 | You stuck here, too? |
| 50998 | You stuck here, too? |
| 50998 | You''re determined to go on? |
| 50998 | _ Crookedness?_"On your part, that is. 50998 _ We_ forge it?" |
| 50998 | ***** For that matter, what was the purpose of Travelers Aid Bureau? |
| 50998 | But what good does that do?" |
| 50998 | But what''s a Huntner?" |
| 50998 | Can he change that to anything else?" |
| 50998 | Cassal was almost positive she muttered a polite"Arf?" |
| 50998 | For the average man, anyone who did n''t have his own inter- stellar ship, was the comparison too apt? |
| 50998 | For what reason? |
| 50998 | He could imagine? |
| 50998 | He was self- deluded or did he have access to information that Cassal did n''t? |
| 50998 | How could he find some way of supplying additional power? |
| 50998 | How many Godolphians do you see?" |
| 50998 | I built a wonderful instrument, did n''t I?" |

| 50998 | Long enough to reach from here to Kettikat?" |
| 50998 | Of course he_ could_ walk back to the hotel, but was that such a good idea? |
| 50998 | Or could you? |
| 50998 | Or was she? |
| 50998 | Outsiders? |
| 50998 | Regrettable, but what could he do about it? |
| 50998 | Secrets? |
| 50998 | Self- defense, of course, but would the police believe it? |
| 50998 | Sleeping? |
| 50998 | Suppose he were detained long enough to miss the ship bound for Tunney 21? |
| 50998 | That''s good enough for you, is n''t it?" |
| 50998 | The question was-- which travelers? |
| 50998 | Wanted to? |
| 50998 | Was it possible she had noticed his private conversation? |
| 50998 | Was she baiting him? |
| 50998 | Was this man, whoever and whatever he might be, connected with that delay? |
| 50998 | Were those who lived at the edge of the Galaxy, beyond the first ring, called Rimmers? |
| 50998 | What did he want? |
| 50998 | What does Travelers Aid have that''s so secret?" |
| 50998 | What does it have to do with anything?" |
| 50998 | What does that mean?" |
| 50998 | What is this planetary drive doing here?" |
| 50998 | What_ did_ the thug want? |
| 50998 | Why all this violence, though? |
| 50998 | Why did n''t you tell me?" |
| 50998 | Why did she want Dimanche? |
| 50998 | Why did you change so many signs? |
| 50998 | Why had the man attacked? |
| 50998 | Will you go with me?" |

| 47258 | For what, my dear friend? |
| 47258 | Fred, how would the black pepper be brought to New York from Sumatra? |

| 4635 | But suppose they see it, and turn back? |
| 4635 | But that message from Mr. Whitford? 4635 But what are you going to do when you see them overhead?" |
| 4635 | But what did he want? 4635 But what would be the object of such a light, Tom?" |
| 4635 | But who are you? |
| 4635 | But who is there in Shopton who would be in league with the smugglers? |
| 4635 | But wo n''t that be dangerous? 4635 But your noiseless airship?" |
| 4635 | But--"Then you''ll undertake this work for Uncle Sam? |
| 4635 | Ca n''t you get them? |
| 4635 | Can it be possible that these are the same missionaries whom Tom and I rescued from the red pygmies? |

| 4635 | Do you think some one may hear you? |
| 4635 | Do you think you can catch them, Tom? |
| 4635 | Doan''t yo''-all want fo''ma an''Boomerang t''gib yo''-all a tow? 4635 Friends? |

| 4635 | Have you got all the pieces, Tom? |
| 4635 | Have you heard the news? |
| 4635 | Have you made any plan about capturing them? |
| 4635 | Hero same as giant? |
| 4635 | How about you, Ned? 4635 How are you making out with that gas machine?" |
| 4635 | How did it happen? |
| 4635 | How did they come to use airships? |
| 4635 | How did you know I was here? |
| 4635 | How do you account for it? |
| 4635 | How do you do it? |
| 4635 | How do you know? |
| 4635 | How much longer are you going to stay? |
| 4635 | How, by airship? |
| 4635 | I mean in Logansville? |
| 4635 | I mean will you go to the border, in your airship, and try to catch the smugglers? 4635 I overtook you quite nice; so?" |
| 4635 | I say, Tom, what''s up? |
| 4635 | I wonder how it got here? |
| 4635 | I wonder if Mr. Whitford is coming to see us off? |
| 4635 | I wonder if that''Committee of Three''is Andy and these two fellows with him in the airship? |
| 4635 | I wonder if they are the smugglers? |
| 4635 | I wonder what he is doing here? |
| 4635 | I wonder what that is? |
| 4635 | I wonder where he''s going in it? |
| 4635 | I wonder why Ned does n''t come back with the fish? |
| 4635 | I''d like to know if I have n''t a right to walk through these woods, without being grabbed up by a man as big as a mountain? 4635 If Mr. Tom marry, he keep Koku for servant?" |
| 4635 | Is Andy there yet? |
| 4635 | Is Mr. Damon keeping her on the course, Ned? |
| 4635 | Is anything damaged, Tom? |
| 4635 | Is he going along? |
| 4635 | Is it possible? |
| 4635 | Is that you, Koku? |
| 4635 | Know him? 4635 Koku, are you there? |
| 4635 | Koku, did you touch the wires? |
| 4635 | Koku, what is the matter? 4635 Message coming?" |

| 4635 | No, what news? 4635 Not rescue Ned, my best chum?" |
| 4635 | Now where''s that mention of Shopton? 4635 Now will you give an account of yourself, or shall I hand you over to the police?" |
| 4635 | Oh, it is; eh? |
| 4635 | Oh, you mean the rivals, who were trying to get my moving picture camera? |
| 4635 | Plenty much fine air- bird; eh? |
| 4635 | Queer about the Fogers; was n''t it, Tom? |
| 4635 | Ride back alone, through these woods? 4635 Say at some lonely ravine, or stretch of woods?" |
| 4635 | Say, this is a circus airship? |
| 4635 | Say, what are you driving at, Tom? 4635 Search my house; eh? |
| 4635 | Shall release him? |
| 4635 | Smuggled goods? 4635 Sneaking up on you with a knife; eh? |
| 4635 | So they could operate there? |
| 4635 | Still at it, eh? 4635 Talking riddles; eh?" |
| 4635 | Tell who? |
| 4635 | That is n''t very far from the Canadian border; is it, Ned? |
| 4635 | The others; are they safe? |
| 4635 | Then you really think they are the smugglers? |
| 4635 | Then you''re going after them? |
| 4635 | Then you''re not going out to- night? |
| 4635 | They are; eh? |
| 4635 | Tie who up? 4635 Was it a letter from someone here, or to someone here?" |
| 4635 | Well, Koku, did you get that attachment? |
| 4635 | Well, Ned, I suppose you''ll be over in the morning and help me try out the noiseless airship? |
| 4635 | Well, Rad, what is it? |
| 4635 | Well, Tom, how you coming on? |
| 4635 | Well, Tom, what are you up to now? |
| 4635 | Well, did he get any chickens, Koku? |
| 4635 | Well, what are you going to do with it, now that you have it? |
| 4635 | Well, what happened next? |
| 4635 | Well? |
| 4635 | Well? |
| 4635 | What DISPOSITION? |
| 4635 | What about? |
| 4635 | What answer did you send? |
| 4635 | What are you doing? |
| 4635 | What are you doing? |
| 4635 | What are you going to do first, when you get there, Tom? |
| 4635 | What are you going to do first? |
| 4635 | What are you going to do with it, when you get it all completed? |
| 4635 | What are you going to do? |
| 4635 | What are you up to now, Tom Swift? |
| 4635 | What can happen, Tom? |
| 4635 | What can have happened? |
| 4635 | What do you know about that? |
| 4635 | What do you make of it? |
| 4635 | What do you mean by coming to my house at this hour, and disturbing me? 4635 What do you mean, Tom?" |
| 4635 | What do you mean, Tom? |
| 4635 | What do you mean? |
| 4635 | What do you mean? |
| 4635 | What do you mean? |
| 4635 | What do you mean? |
| 4635 | What do you suppose he''s up to, Tom? |
| 4635 | What do you suppose this new clew is that Mr. Whitford wired you about? |
| 4635 | What do you want? |
| 4635 | What does that signify? |
| 4635 | What had we better do? |
| 4635 | What happened then? |
| 4635 | What happened, Tom? |
| 4635 | What happened? |
| 4635 | What has happened? 4635 What in the world is he doing there?" |
| 4635 | What is it? |
| 4635 | What is it? |
| 4635 | What is it? |
| 4635 | What is it? |
| 4635 | What is it? |
| 4635 | What is it? |
| 4635 | What is the matter, Tom? |
| 4635 | What is the matter? |
| 4635 | What kind of goods? |
| 4635 | What makes you so nervous about it? |
| 4635 | What right have you to be spying on that airship-- on these premises? |
| 4635 | What right have you to question my actions? |
| 4635 | What right have you to use these high- handed methods on us? |
| 4635 | What shall we do? |
| 4635 | What was he doing? |
| 4635 | What were you sneaking up on us in that fashion for? |
| 4635 | What''s it for? |
| 4635 | What''s that? |
| 4635 | What''s the answer? |
| 4635 | What''s the matter? 4635 What''s this?" |
| 4635 | What''s up, Koku? |
| 4635 | What''s up, Tom? 4635 What''s your answer, Tom? |
| 4635 | What, that big giant servant? 4635 What?" |
| 4635 | Where are the smugglers? |
| 4635 | Where are we? |
| 4635 | Where are you going to land? |
| 4635 | Where do they seem to be heading for? |
| 4635 | Where do you think they will start to cross the line? |
| 4635 | Where do you want to be landed? |
| 4635 | Where him go? |
| 4635 | Where is he? 4635 Where to now; back home?" |
| 4635 | Where? |
| 4635 | Where? |
| 4635 | Which way go? |
| 4635 | Who in the world would think such a thing? |
| 4635 | Who is he? 4635 Who is he?" |
| 4635 | Who was he? |
| 4635 | Who''s going? |
| 4635 | Who''s that? |
| 4635 | Who''s that? |
| 4635 | Who? |
| 4635 | Why did you play double? |
| 4635 | Why did you run, Koku? |
| 4635 | Why do n''t you ask him? |
| 4635 | Why not to- night? |
| 4635 | Why not? |
| 4635 | Why so? |
| 4635 | Why, Koku, have n''t you gone to bed yet? |
| 4635 | Why, Koku, what''s the matter? |
| 4635 | Why, is there any great rush? |
| 4635 | Why, you have n''t any smuggled goods concealed, have you, Colonel? |
| 4635 | Will I? 4635 Will you come back to Shopton with us?" |
| 4635 | Will you ride back with me? |
| 4635 | Would you mind telling me what you want to know? |
| 4635 | Yes, and did you hear that? |
| 4635 | Yes, and what exposition shall I make of him? |
| 4635 | Yes, but supposing I ca n''t catch them? |
| 4635 | You did n''t hear Andy say anything about coming back here? |
| 4635 | You did n''t; eh? 4635 You do n''t mean to say that you''re actually going to try to catch them, do you, Tom?" |
| 4635 | You here-- were you in that boat? |
| 4635 | You know Andy has a new airship? |
| 4635 | You may have a right on this land, but if you are honest, and had no bad intentions, why were you sneaking up, trying to keep out of sight? 4635 You mean smuggling?" |
| 4635 | You want to ask me some questions? |
| 4635 | And so you''ve seen air- birds flying around here before?" |
| 4635 | And why did you have a big knife?" |
| 4635 | Are they still headed for the border?" |
| 4635 | Are we most there?" |
| 4635 | Are you going to have a try for the smugglers to- night?" |
| 4635 | Big Foot see air- bird like this?" |
| 4635 | But I wonder what he is up to, anyhow; getting his airship in shape again?" |
| 4635 | But do you suppose you can hear them or see them, as they fly over?" |
| 4635 | But how in the world did you happen along to rescue us? |
| 4635 | But how shall we go? |
| 4635 | But just what do you mean?" |
| 4635 | But we''re moving nicely; are n''t we, Ned?" |
| 4635 | But what are you up to now? |
| 4635 | But what has that to do with it?" |
| 4635 | But when Mr. Whitford came back, with a disappointed look on his face, and said there was nothing to be found, Mr. Foger smiled:"What did I tell you?" |
| 4635 | But where are some of those powerful stationary searchlights you speak of?" |
| 4635 | But where did you see Andy?" |
| 4635 | But where would he operate from?" |
| 4635 | But, Tom, ca n''t you close up on''em?" |
| 4635 | But--""Are you going, Tom?" |
| 4635 | CHAPTER VI THE APPEAL TO TOM"Well, what does this mean?" |
| 4635 | CHAPTER XII WARNED AWAY"Tom, are you sure it''s Andy?" |
| 4635 | CHAPTER XVIII THE PURSUIT"What plan have you in mind?" |
| 4635 | CHAPTER XXV THE CAPTURE-- CONCLUSION"Do you think they know we are here, Tom?" |
| 4635 | Can I do anything to help you?" |
| 4635 | Can you get on the job to- night, and do some patrol work along the border? |
| 4635 | Can you go there, and cruise about? |
| 4635 | Can you manage alone in the pilot house?" |
| 4635 | Can you save him? |
| 4635 | Can you use any more speed?" |
| 4635 | Damon?" |
| 4635 | Damon?" |
| 4635 | Did you hear how long Andy was going to stay?" |
| 4635 | Do n''t you think this is a sort of duty- call to you?" |
| 4635 | Do n''t you want to come along?" |
| 4635 | Do you notice that searchlight, and how powerful it is?" |
| 4635 | Do you suppose the smugglers are stopping there?" |
| 4635 | Do you think you can rise from the ground, and take after them in time to stand a chance of overhauling them, Tom? |
| 4635 | Even if they saw them, what could they do? |
| 4635 | Has Andy Foger fallen out of his airship?" |
| 4635 | Has anything new turned up?" |
| 4635 | Has he seen this before?" |
| 4635 | Have you captured a wild animal?" |
| 4635 | He was taken completely by surprise as Tom, stepping up to him, asked sharply:"Who are you and what are you doing here?" |
| 4635 | Hogan''s alley, or some such name as that; was n''t it?" |
| 4635 | How do you account for it?" |
| 4635 | How soon do you think you''ll be able to get on the border for Uncle Sam?" |
| 4635 | How you going to manage it?" |
| 4635 | I wonder how it would seem to chase a smuggler in an airship at night? |
| 4635 | I wonder if it was Andy''s airship that was used?" |
| 4635 | If you are interested in such things, and can assure me that you have no spying methods in view, I can show you--""Have you other airships?" |
| 4635 | In fact, after seeing your airship, Tom Swift, I''m convinced--""That I''ve been smuggling?" |
| 4635 | Is he safe? |
| 4635 | Is it a big magic lantern?" |
| 4635 | Is she safe?" |
| 4635 | Is the gas machine all right again, Tom?" |
| 4635 | Is this far enough out, Tom?" |
| 4635 | Know him? |
| 4635 | Motor all right?" |
| 4635 | Mr. Foger has a deserted house here, and-- see the connection?" |
| 4635 | Now, Ned, is everything in shape?" |
| 4635 | Oh, by the way, have you seen anything more of Andy Foger?" |
| 4635 | Oh, can it be possible that it is the same Tom Swift that rescued us in Africa?" |
| 4635 | Oh, why does n''t he know enough to stop? |
| 4635 | Or is it for some new kinds of moving pictures? |
| 4635 | Period?" |
| 4635 | Say in a week?" |
| 4635 | Say, Ned, where was it that Mr. Foger moved to? |
| 4635 | Say, did you notice who that man was, with the saw?" |
| 4635 | Say, do you remember the time we gave a show in the barn, and charged a nickel to come in? |
| 4635 | Say, it was queer, about that government agent, was n''t it? |
| 4635 | Say, where is my coat, anyhow? |
| 4635 | Say, you do n''t believe in that sort of bosh, do you?" |
| 4635 | Search this house? |
| 4635 | So you detained him, did you, Koku?" |
| 4635 | Some excitement about that; eh, Ned? |
| 4635 | That is I said what, did I not?" |
| 4635 | That''s why we''re here; is n''t it? |
| 4635 | Then, springing to her feet, she cried:"My husband? |
| 4635 | There was a moment of silence, and then a voice which Tom and Ned recognized as that of Andy Foger, asked:"What do you want?" |
| 4635 | There was no doubt of his intention for, as soon as he came within talking distance, the stranger called out:"What are you fellows doing here?" |
| 4635 | They''ve actually got to cross the border with smuggled goods before the law can touch them; have n''t they?" |
| 4635 | Tom told of their trip, and the wait they had decided on, and asked:"What about the new clew; the Fogers?" |
| 4635 | Tom, give them some of Koku''s, will you? |
| 4635 | Tom, will you undertake a mission for Uncle Sam?" |
| 4635 | Tom?" |
| 4635 | Tom?" |
| 4635 | Well, I wonder what will happen when we get chasing around nights after the smugglers? |
| 4635 | Well, what are we going to do?" |
| 4635 | What are you doing?" |
| 4635 | What are you going to do?" |
| 4635 | What can happen?" |
| 4635 | What can they have done with him?" |
| 4635 | What did he do?" |
| 4635 | What do you mean, sir?" |
| 4635 | What do you mean, sir?" |
| 4635 | What do you mean?" |
| 4635 | What for?" |
| 4635 | What happened?" |
| 4635 | What have I to do with Canada?" |
| 4635 | What place is that?" |
| 4635 | What was he doing? |
| 4635 | What''s he doing?" |
| 4635 | What''s the matter? |
| 4635 | What''s the matter?" |
| 4635 | What''s up? |
| 4635 | Where are we?" |
| 4635 | Where are you all? |
| 4635 | Where is Tom?" |
| 4635 | Where''s Rad?" |
| 4635 | Which way air- birds come, Big Foot?" |
| 4635 | Whitford?" |
| 4635 | Whitford?" |
| 4635 | Whitford?" |
| 4635 | Whitford?" |
| 4635 | Who is it? |
| 4635 | Whose airship is this?" |
| 4635 | Whose is it?" |
| 4635 | Why are you there?" |
| 4635 | Will you?" |
| 4635 | You do n''t mean to tell me you are going away again, and after smugglers?" |
| 4635 | You got firewater in your air- bird?" |
| 4635 | You have a wireless outfit on your airships, have n''t you, Tom?" |
| 4635 | You question me? |
| 4635 | You stand under me?" |
| 4635 | You''ll get them for me; wo n''t you?" |
| 4635 | You''re Tom Swift, are n''t you; and you have several airships?" |
| 4635 | cried Mr. Whitford, at the same time Mr. Damon called through the tube from the pilot house:"Which one shall I follow, Tom?" |
| 4635 | eh?" |
| 4635 | he exclaimed,"What is it?" |
| 4635 | suspecting you of supplying airships to the smugglers?" |
| 21375 | About Hicks? |
| 21375 | About the assailant of my poor pupil? |
| 21375 | About the pens? |
| 21375 | Afraid? |
| 21375 | Ah, Deering,he said quietly,"how are you? |
| 21375 | Ah, why, indeed? |
| 21375 | Alive? |
| 21375 | All right, aunt,said the boy;"just lift up the lamp, will you?" |
| 21375 | All right, but had n''t we better go a little higher first? 21375 All right?" |
| 21375 | Alone? |
| 21375 | Am I at the rectory? 21375 Am I to wait all day for you?" |
| 21375 | Am I, uncle? |
| 21375 | And all for what? |
| 21375 | And do you mean to say, standing theer with the turn- stones all around you as you think anything bout t''owd church arn''t true? |
| 21375 | And failed? |
| 21375 | And he gives it to you to play with, eh? |
| 21375 | And how do you think it will be done? |
| 21375 | And if it were ten times as far, what then? 21375 And pray why, sir?" |
| 21375 | And that Distie had done it? |
| 21375 | And the young gentlemen? |
| 21375 | And what did you do-- hit him back? |
| 21375 | And what time were you taken ill? |
| 21375 | And when you had made your great fortune, what then? |
| 21375 | And would that be enough to heat the greenhouse? |
| 21375 | And you call my resenting an insult of the most grave nature a piece of idiocy, do you, Mr Gilmore? |
| 21375 | And you understand what will follow? |
| 21375 | Anything the matter, cook? |
| 21375 | Are they for Eben to grow? |
| 21375 | Are they good? |
| 21375 | Are you coming, Distin? |
| 21375 | Are you fellows coming home to breakfast? |
| 21375 | Are you fellows coming? |
| 21375 | Are you going to send up to see, my dear? |
| 21375 | Are you hurt, Mr Rounds? |
| 21375 | Are you in pain? |
| 21375 | Are you inventing something? |
| 21375 | Are you laughing at me? |
| 21375 | At what? |
| 21375 | Bad? 21375 Beggars? |
| 21375 | Better? 21375 Better?" |
| 21375 | Better? |
| 21375 | Bit of a fright for you, eh, my girl? |
| 21375 | Blood? |
| 21375 | Blunders and mistakes, I suppose, in things you have tried to make? |
| 21375 | But I may tell Mr Syme and Gilmore? |
| 21375 | But are you sure that''s the one? |
| 21375 | But are you sure, dear? |
| 21375 | But at a distance-- at either of the farms? |
| 21375 | But could n''t I go, too? |
| 21375 | But did n''t you ask at either of the cottages as you passed? |
| 21375 | But he had been and left the medicine? |
| 21375 | But he will not die, sir? |
| 21375 | But how are you going to get the thing to work? |
| 21375 | But how could he be? 21375 But how long will you be?" |
| 21375 | But if I did, what business is it of his? 21375 But ought not Vane to have beaten him, too?" |
| 21375 | But tell me this: What did Syme say this morning because I did n''t come? |
| 21375 | But what for? |
| 21375 | But what has happened, my dear? 21375 But what motive? |
| 21375 | But where is the burning thatch? |
| 21375 | But who? 21375 But wo n''t your people mind?" |
| 21375 | But would she cook them? |
| 21375 | But you beat them alone; gave them a thorough good er-- er-- licking, as you call it, sir? |
| 21375 | But you do n''t expect me to put my hand in my pocket and pay pounds on purpose to gratify your vanity, boy-- not really? |
| 21375 | But, I say, Vane Lee, had n''t we better have gone alone? 21375 But, I say, was it those two chaps?" |
| 21375 | But, I say,cried Macey,"you do n''t think we shall find him here, do you?" |
| 21375 | But, how could he help it, my dear? |
| 21375 | But, what can have happened? 21375 By the way, Bates,"said the rector, hastily,"have you spread this charge?" |
| 21375 | Ca n''t it? |
| 21375 | Ca n''t you hear? |
| 21375 | Can you form any idea of where he is likely to have gone? |
| 21375 | Can you stand? |
| 21375 | Come to meet us? |
| 21375 | Come to put the clock right, Mr Gramp? |
| 21375 | Coming with us? |
| 21375 | Convection? |
| 21375 | Cook''s cross,said Vane to himself, as his aunt looked up with--"Well, cook?" |
| 21375 | Cottages, sir? 21375 Could it be poachers?" |
| 21375 | Cross? 21375 Did I say that aloud?" |
| 21375 | Did you encounter him anywhere near there, quarrel with and strike him? |
| 21375 | Did you know she was going to blow up the copper hole with gunpowder? |
| 21375 | Did you mean that for another insult, sir? |
| 21375 | Did you meet him in the wood the day before yesterday? |
| 21375 | Did you never see a gentleman roll a cigarette before? |
| 21375 | Dirty work? 21375 Distin?" |
| 21375 | Do n''t feel any the worse now, do you? |
| 21375 | Do n''t try enough, do he, Master Lee? |
| 21375 | Do n''t want to go, then? |
| 21375 | Do n''t you see? 21375 Do n''t you? |
| 21375 | Do you hear? 21375 Do you hear? |
| 21375 | Do you hear? |
| 21375 | Do you hear? |
| 21375 | Do you know what has caused it? |
| 21375 | Do you think I have no feeling? |
| 21375 | Do you think him very bad, sir? |
| 21375 | Do you understand heating with hot- water, sir? |
| 21375 | Do you want your leave stopped? 21375 Do you wish it, my dear? |
| 21375 | Do you wish me to break yours? |
| 21375 | Do you? |
| 21375 | Doctor at home? |
| 21375 | Does not Doctor Lee know? |
| 21375 | Eh? 21375 Eh? |
| 21375 | Eh? 21375 Eh? |
| 21375 | Eh? 21375 Eh? |
| 21375 | Eh? 21375 Eh? |
| 21375 | Eh? |
| 21375 | Ever hear anything of Mr Deering now, uncle? |
| 21375 | For thinking Distin did it, sir? |
| 21375 | Found anything? |
| 21375 | Found him, gentlemen? |
| 21375 | Found out? |
| 21375 | Found something else? |
| 21375 | Going out, Vane? |
| 21375 | Going out? 21375 Going to do it with cold hot- water then?" |
| 21375 | Going to have those for supper? |
| 21375 | Going to the fair? |
| 21375 | Going too, Vane, my dear? |
| 21375 | Good to eat? |
| 21375 | Got a headache? |
| 21375 | Got to do wi''it, lad? 21375 Got your plans-- sketches-- papers?" |
| 21375 | Hah, that''s better,said the doctor one fine morning,"feel stronger, do n''t you?" |
| 21375 | Has he had his tea? |
| 21375 | Has n''t it been eating into me? 21375 Has n''t pitched, or shoved him in, has he?" |
| 21375 | Has the boy gone mad? |
| 21375 | Have a bit more? |
| 21375 | Have n''t seen him? |
| 21375 | Have some? 21375 Have some?" |
| 21375 | Have there been any tramps about who might do it for the sake of robbery? |
| 21375 | Have there been many up here lately? |
| 21375 | Have they got the engine out? |
| 21375 | He has not been with the pupils? |
| 21375 | Here, Vane, who ran? 21375 Here, cook-- Eliza-- where are you?" |
| 21375 | Here, how is he? |
| 21375 | Here, what are you going to do? |
| 21375 | Here, what''s wrong? |
| 21375 | Here-- Vane-- idiot, you leave off laughing, sir? |
| 21375 | Hey? 21375 How can I help being anxious about him when he is late?" |
| 21375 | How could you be so foolish!--how much powder?--where did you get it?-- where are you hurt? |
| 21375 | How did you know? |
| 21375 | How do I know, sir? 21375 How do you know, Bruff?" |
| 21375 | How do you know? |
| 21375 | How do, sir; how do? 21375 How is Distin?" |
| 21375 | How is Vane? |
| 21375 | How is he? |
| 21375 | How is it you chaps are out so early? |
| 21375 | How should I know? |
| 21375 | Hullo, Weathercock,cried the latter,"which way does the wind blow?" |
| 21375 | I am not about to have the boiler set there again? 21375 I beg your pardon,"he drawled,"were you speaking to me?" |
| 21375 | I ca n''t see anything, can you? |
| 21375 | I ca n''t walk; what shall I do? |
| 21375 | I liked-- You do n''t mind my speaking out, uncle? |
| 21375 | I must ask this: How did I get here? |
| 21375 | I said, how was it the boat upset? 21375 I say, does your father grow much ginger on his plantation?" |
| 21375 | I say, uncle, do I look so very horrid? |
| 21375 | I say,cried Macey;"''tisn''t real, is it? |
| 21375 | I say,whispered Vane, the next minute, when he had contrived to get Macey alone,"what made you take off your coat?" |
| 21375 | I thowt you''d say that, lad,cried the miller, laughing;"but I''ve heard say as there''s blowings- up-- explosions-- over your works sometimes, eh?" |
| 21375 | I want to get the taste of Distin out of my mouth.--I say--"Well? |
| 21375 | I wonder whose gun they have borrowed? |
| 21375 | I''m a chattering ape, am I? 21375 I''ve been lying here some time, have n''t I, uncle?" |
| 21375 | I-- I? |
| 21375 | I? 21375 If you please''m, cook says shall she send up the chicken? |
| 21375 | In the name of common sense, man,cried the rector, angrily,"whom do you mean-- me?" |
| 21375 | Indeed? 21375 Is anybody killed?--is anybody killed?" |
| 21375 | Is it an escapade-- has he run off? |
| 21375 | Is it the chicken? |
| 21375 | Is it? |
| 21375 | Is n''t it to save you from coming up here on cold, frosty nights to stoke the fire? |
| 21375 | Is there no tart or custard, Eliza? |
| 21375 | It does look right, does n''t it, my dear? |
| 21375 | It is a low, vulgar, contemptible, disgraceful act for one who is the son of a gentleman-- to-- to-- Did you win? |
| 21375 | It will not be so very long, will it dear? |
| 21375 | It? 21375 Jevell?" |
| 21375 | Kind of potaters, sir? |
| 21375 | Know what? |
| 21375 | Let you go up and sit with him a bit? |
| 21375 | Look here, sir,cried Distin, across the table to Vane, who sat, as last comer, between him and the door,"I said did you mean that as an insult?" |
| 21375 | Look here,he said at last;"you mean what you say about the police and Mr Syme?" |
| 21375 | Macey? 21375 Matter? |
| 21375 | Matter? |
| 21375 | May I ask what, sir? |
| 21375 | May I come in, sir? |
| 21375 | Me, sir? |
| 21375 | Mean to go wi''me, then? |
| 21375 | Meat tea? |
| 21375 | Mistake, sir? |
| 21375 | Mr Chakes,said the rector sternly,"what is the meaning of this?" |
| 21375 | Mr Macey, where are you going? |
| 21375 | Mr Macey? 21375 Mrs Merry, aunt?" |
| 21375 | Never mind, Vane; we''ll get aunt to cook the rest, or else you and I will experimentalise over a spirit lamp in the workshop, eh? |
| 21375 | No, I want to see Distie-- which way did he go? |
| 21375 | No, I wish I could,said Macey sadly;"can you?" |
| 21375 | No, Mr Gilmore,said Distin, haughtily,"you are not Vane Lee, you said, and-- and what?" |
| 21375 | No, but shall you mind very much? |
| 21375 | No, uncle, but I shall be dressed directly, and will go and find out where it is? |
| 21375 | No,said Aunt Hannah, with a brave effort to keep down her emotion.--"Yes, Eliza, what is it?" |
| 21375 | No; does he? |
| 21375 | Nonsense-- why? |
| 21375 | Not been back then? |
| 21375 | Not dead? |
| 21375 | Not found? |
| 21375 | Not going anywhere else for you, was he? |
| 21375 | Not going up to the rectory? |
| 21375 | Not some one in this town? |
| 21375 | Not want to come? 21375 Now then, ready?" |
| 21375 | Now will you? |
| 21375 | Now, are you satisfied that you have made a mistake? |
| 21375 | Oh, I say, old chap, it does one good to see you better, I say you''re going to be quite well now, are n''t you? |
| 21375 | Oh, I say,whispered the lad,"is n''t old Dis in a temper?" |
| 21375 | Oh, I see, more like my water- mill paddles, eh? |
| 21375 | Oh, he says that, does he? |
| 21375 | Oh, my dear, my dear, what does it mean? |
| 21375 | Oh, my dear, my dear, where have you been-- where have you been? |
| 21375 | Oh, then, you want the boat? |
| 21375 | Only to the rectory, uncle; want me? |
| 21375 | Plaace arn''t harnted, is it? |
| 21375 | Please, sir, could n''t we come and help? |
| 21375 | Plot? |
| 21375 | Pray what do I do? |
| 21375 | Quite beat them? |
| 21375 | Ready for what, sir,--game at chess? |
| 21375 | Ready there? |
| 21375 | Ready, Dis? |
| 21375 | Ready, Macey? |
| 21375 | Ready? 21375 Ready?" |
| 21375 | Rector is n''t in the study then, Joseph? |
| 21375 | Rest?--sleep? 21375 Scarecrow? |
| 21375 | See that, sir? |
| 21375 | See that? |
| 21375 | Sha n''t you get very wet? |
| 21375 | Shall I? |
| 21375 | Shall we go lower? |
| 21375 | Sober, sir? |
| 21375 | Some more tea, dear? |
| 21375 | Some one badly, sir? |
| 21375 | Sort o''windmill thing? |
| 21375 | Spite? |
| 21375 | Steam engineer, boy? |
| 21375 | Stern? 21375 Struck you with his stick?" |
| 21375 | Suppose he dies? |
| 21375 | Tell me something? 21375 That meant for me?" |
| 21375 | That''s it, my boy, what then? 21375 That?" |
| 21375 | That? |
| 21375 | The other has given it up as a bad job,he said to himself, and then,"How much farther is it? |
| 21375 | Then I must use your name instead of Chakes, eh? |
| 21375 | Then he is there-- hurt? |
| 21375 | Then tell me this, on your honour as a gentleman: did you assault Vane Lee? |
| 21375 | Then there will be no study this morning, Joseph? |
| 21375 | Then what have you there? |
| 21375 | Then what made bell ring? |
| 21375 | Then why did you say I was too late? |
| 21375 | Then why not something to fly like a bird or a bat? |
| 21375 | Then you did keep on telling him which hand to pull and steered him on to the pile? |
| 21375 | Then you did n''t come rabbit- shooting? |
| 21375 | Then you do n''t think it was the fungi, uncle? |
| 21375 | Then you do not think he is going to be ill again? |
| 21375 | Then you really feel that it is hopeless? |
| 21375 | Then you think that is all stupid and waste of time, sir? |
| 21375 | Then, why cut it? 21375 There is something wrong?" |
| 21375 | There''s something in that, eh, my dear? 21375 There, why do n''t you let it go? |
| 21375 | They are not the chanterelles then, uncle? |
| 21375 | They been at his fowls again? 21375 Think there''s any truth about the way they cook fowls or pheasants, uncle?" |
| 21375 | This? |
| 21375 | Time that boy was back, is n''t it? |
| 21375 | To Mr Deering, for instance? |
| 21375 | To tell Mrs Lee, sir? |
| 21375 | Toadstools, sir? |
| 21375 | Trouble, boy? 21375 Vane Lee?" |
| 21375 | Vane come back? |
| 21375 | Vane, my boy, asleep? |
| 21375 | Want me, gents? |
| 21375 | Want to buy a pony, young gentlemen? |
| 21375 | Well, Bruff,said the doctor, in a short, stern way,"you have not found him?" |
| 21375 | Well, Mr Round--"I know''d: thou''d been winding her oop wi''the kitchen poker, or some game o''that sort, eh? |
| 21375 | Well, Mr Syme,he said,"what am I to do? |
| 21375 | Well, and what then? |
| 21375 | Well, are you coming with us? 21375 Well, constable,"said the rector at last,"what have you discovered?" |
| 21375 | Well, constable,said the rector;"you have news for me?" |
| 21375 | Well, do n''t you see that it is impossible? |
| 21375 | Well, how? |
| 21375 | Well, might n''t he have stopped there? |
| 21375 | Well, sir, might n''t he have been caught among the brambles, or lost his way? |
| 21375 | Well, sir,cried Macey, eagerly, as the doctor entered the drawing- room,"he''s all right in the head again, is n''t he?" |
| 21375 | Well, then,_ carve_ your way, boy? |
| 21375 | Well, what are they? |
| 21375 | Well, what are you laughing at? |
| 21375 | Well, what did he say? |
| 21375 | Well, what have you found out? 21375 Well, what is it, man? |
| 21375 | Well, what''s the matter-- why has n''t it succeeded? |
| 21375 | Well, young gents, going my way? |
| 21375 | Well,he said with a vicious twang in his tones,"what are you staring at?" |
| 21375 | Well,said Vane, shortly,"my father was a gentleman; and do you mean to insinuate that my uncle and aunt are not a gentleman and lady?" |
| 21375 | Well? |
| 21375 | Well? |
| 21375 | Well? |
| 21375 | Well? |
| 21375 | What are they after? |
| 21375 | What are they, then? |
| 21375 | What are they, uncle? |
| 21375 | What are those leaves shaped like spears? |
| 21375 | What are you going to do, lad? |
| 21375 | What are you going to do? |
| 21375 | What are you thinking about, eh? |
| 21375 | What can I do? |
| 21375 | What can it mean? |
| 21375 | What did you do that for? |
| 21375 | What do you mean? |
| 21375 | What do you mean? |
| 21375 | What do you mean? |
| 21375 | What do you mean? |
| 21375 | What do you mean? |
| 21375 | What for-- going out? |
| 21375 | What for? 21375 What for?" |
| 21375 | What for? |
| 21375 | What for? |
| 21375 | What for? |
| 21375 | What have you got there, gardener? |
| 21375 | What have you got there? |
| 21375 | What is it, my dear? |
| 21375 | What is it? 21375 What is it?" |
| 21375 | What is the delusion? |
| 21375 | What is? |
| 21375 | What shall we do-- go back alone, or try and find them? |
| 21375 | What sort did you get? 21375 What then, sir?" |
| 21375 | What then? |
| 21375 | What time do you say your husband was taken ill? |
| 21375 | What was this? |
| 21375 | What were you thinking about? 21375 What''s absurd? |
| 21375 | What''s been the matter? |
| 21375 | What''s going on here? |
| 21375 | What''s he doing? |
| 21375 | What''s in the wind now, Weathercock? |
| 21375 | What''s that for? |
| 21375 | What''s that got to do with it? |
| 21375 | What''s that? |
| 21375 | What''s the matter with it? |
| 21375 | What''s the matter with them? |
| 21375 | What''s the matter, Gil? |
| 21375 | What''s the matter, boy, fresh pain? |
| 21375 | What''s the matter? |
| 21375 | What, Chakes? |
| 21375 | What, amongst all this broken crockery? |
| 21375 | What, are n''t it ready? |
| 21375 | What, by just waggling? |
| 21375 | What, covering them all over with clay, and then baking them in the hot embers of a wood fire? 21375 What, made from that plan?" |
| 21375 | What, old Distie? 21375 What, that thing with the little spikey horse- chestnuts on it?" |
| 21375 | What, there too? |
| 21375 | What, uncle? |
| 21375 | What, would you have Martha''s grate in among the flowers, and let her roast and fry there? 21375 What?" |
| 21375 | What? |
| 21375 | What? |
| 21375 | What? |
| 21375 | What? |
| 21375 | What? |
| 21375 | What? |
| 21375 | Whatever do they mean? |
| 21375 | Whatever made you try to cross this bit? |
| 21375 | Whatever put it into your head to try and do such a thing as that? 21375 When are you going to try it?" |
| 21375 | Where abouts? 21375 Where am I?" |
| 21375 | Where are the others? |
| 21375 | Where are the weights, Mike? |
| 21375 | Where are you going to make your furnace? |
| 21375 | Where are you going? |
| 21375 | Where did you buy them, Gil? |
| 21375 | Where did you buy them? |
| 21375 | Where do they belong to? |
| 21375 | Where is the rector? |
| 21375 | Where to? |
| 21375 | Where was it? |
| 21375 | Where''s the boat? 21375 Which way?" |
| 21375 | Which? 21375 Who said a word about drowned? |
| 21375 | Who said_ Hicks_? |
| 21375 | Who''s encouraging the boy in fighting now? |
| 21375 | Who''s going to row? |
| 21375 | Whom, then? |
| 21375 | Whose place is burned? |
| 21375 | Why did n''t he let me oil it? |
| 21375 | Why did n''t you eat them? |
| 21375 | Why did n''t you pick your way? |
| 21375 | Why did n''t you shout? |
| 21375 | Why did they do it? |
| 21375 | Why did uncle say that I was like Mr Deering, aunt? |
| 21375 | Why do you ask? |
| 21375 | Why not go back to bed, my lad, and get some rest-- some sleep? |
| 21375 | Why not have another try at this? |
| 21375 | Why not take him to the rectory? |
| 21375 | Why not? 21375 Why not?" |
| 21375 | Why not? |
| 21375 | Why, Vane, my boy,cried the doctor, as the lad stood nursing his hands,"not burned?" |
| 21375 | Why, Vane, old boy,whispered Gilmore,"what''s going on?" |
| 21375 | Why, auntie, what''s the matter? |
| 21375 | Why, she wo n''t go now,cried Vane,"so what harm would it do?" |
| 21375 | Why, sir, you do n''t think that? |
| 21375 | Why, what difference does it make? |
| 21375 | Why, what does that mean? |
| 21375 | Why, what would you do? |
| 21375 | Why, where have you been, sir? |
| 21375 | Why, you never got that made for five pounds? |
| 21375 | Why? |
| 21375 | Why? |
| 21375 | Why? |
| 21375 | Why? |
| 21375 | Why? |
| 21375 | Why? |
| 21375 | Without seeing him? |
| 21375 | Wo n''t be ashamed to be seen? |
| 21375 | Wo n''t join me, I suppose, doctor? |
| 21375 | Wonderful, is n''t he? |
| 21375 | Would n''t you rather come round the grounds to have a look at uncle''s fruit? |
| 21375 | Would you mind sending for the lads to come down? |
| 21375 | Yes, I am,cried Vane;"and what then?" |
| 21375 | Yes, but which? |
| 21375 | Yes, my lad? 21375 Yes, sir, directly,"cried Distin; and then haughtily,"Do you want to ask me any more questions, constable?" |
| 21375 | Yes, sir; certainly, sir,cried Macey; and then, in an undertone to his companions,"Shall we not sterrike for ferreedom? |
| 21375 | Yes, yes,cried the rector;"but, tell me, was there any firing in the night-- any poachers about?" |
| 21375 | Yes,cried Vane excitedly;"have you?" |
| 21375 | Yes,he said,"what is it?" |
| 21375 | Yes,said Vane, echoing the other''s words;"what will they say at home? |
| 21375 | Yes; is Distie in? |
| 21375 | You are going close by, will you ask the policeman to come down? |
| 21375 | You are sure that he is only badly hurt; the doctor-- my husband-- hasn''t sent you on to soften worse news to come? |
| 21375 | You cooked them then? |
| 21375 | You did n''t have one made like that, did you? |
| 21375 | You did tell the doctor, sir? |
| 21375 | You do n''t mean to say you set these two brutes to knock me about with sticks? |
| 21375 | You do n''t think as the young master''s really drownded, do you? |
| 21375 | You do n''t understand the allusion? |
| 21375 | You had not thought of that? |
| 21375 | You hear that, Vane? 21375 You mean to come, then?" |
| 21375 | You say you do n''t know where you was? |
| 21375 | You says as you was at the rectory yesterday afternoon when this here was done? |
| 21375 | You want to speak to me? |
| 21375 | You will come on, wo n''t you, uncle? 21375 You would not deceive me, Mr Gilmore?" |
| 21375 | You''ll give us a day''s fishing any time we like to come then, Mr Rounds? |
| 21375 | You''ll help me then? |
| 21375 | You''re not chaffing, are you? |
| 21375 | You, Mr Lee, sir? 21375 You-- you thrashed them?" |
| 21375 | You? 21375 Your own idea?" |
| 21375 | ''Member my new shepherd''s- plaid trousers, Vane?" |
| 21375 | A whole dozen?" |
| 21375 | And look here; had n''t you better try experiments on Jamby''s donkey? |
| 21375 | And my uncle?" |
| 21375 | And why is Distie cutting along so-- at such a rate?" |
| 21375 | Are you pretty sure that this hot- water would run all along the pipes?" |
| 21375 | Are you sure what you gave Mrs Bruff were right?" |
| 21375 | Aunt would spoil us both if she could, but we''re too good stuff, eh? |
| 21375 | Because I''m wet? |
| 21375 | Because you wanted me to act as guide?" |
| 21375 | Been fishing?" |
| 21375 | Been out I see?" |
| 21375 | But I say, Vane,"he continued, as if eager to change the conversation,"where is this thing to go?" |
| 21375 | But I say, old chap, shall you try and make a boat go by machinery?" |
| 21375 | But have they caught them?" |
| 21375 | But is anybody very badly hurt?" |
| 21375 | But suppose he dies?" |
| 21375 | But tell me, why have you come here?" |
| 21375 | But what has that got to do with it?" |
| 21375 | But what in the name of common sense has put it into your head that my pupil, Mr Distin, could be guilty of such a terrible deed? |
| 21375 | But when are you going to begin old Syme''s conservatory?" |
| 21375 | But whereabouts did you leave Gil and Distin?" |
| 21375 | But who shall we have for guide?" |
| 21375 | But why?" |
| 21375 | But, I say, is n''t it hard work?" |
| 21375 | But, halloo, who is been doing this?" |
| 21375 | But, look here: how about cold, frosty nights? |
| 21375 | But, tell me, have they caught those two fellows for knocking me about last night?" |
| 21375 | By the way, do your school- fellows-- I beg their pardons-- your fellow- pupils know?" |
| 21375 | Can it be old Weathercock? |
| 21375 | Can you get the boiler set and all right for Mrs Bruff to clean up before Martha comes back?" |
| 21375 | Can you suggest anything to help us? |
| 21375 | Can you?" |
| 21375 | Caught what?" |
| 21375 | Come down to fish?" |
| 21375 | Come, you do n''t surely believe that?" |
| 21375 | Could n''t apprentice me to an inventor, could you?" |
| 21375 | Cross, Master Vane? |
| 21375 | Did someone run into us?" |
| 21375 | Do I seem so mad and reckless to you both? |
| 21375 | Do n''t I know it? |
| 21375 | Do n''t look nice, do it?" |
| 21375 | Do n''t you call that a cause for rejoicing? |
| 21375 | Do you hear? |
| 21375 | Do you hear? |
| 21375 | Do you know of any project that he had on hand or of any place he was likely to have gone to on his way to Lenby?" |
| 21375 | Do you know who the person was that assailed Mr Vane Lee?" |
| 21375 | Do you know, sir-- no, you''ll never believe it-- watch and clock making''s a hart?" |
| 21375 | Do you think Distie could have pitched into Vane with a stick and not got something back?" |
| 21375 | Do you think I am going to be made the laughing- stock of everybody by your insane antics?" |
| 21375 | Do you think I can ever forget it all?" |
| 21375 | Do you think I do n''t know what''s good Christian food when I see it, and what is n''t?" |
| 21375 | Do you think Vane can have come to harm in the moor strip yonder?" |
| 21375 | Eh, boy?" |
| 21375 | For richer or poorer, for better or worse, eh? |
| 21375 | Fungi, soft as you pronounce it, or Fungi-- Funghi, hard, eh?" |
| 21375 | Gilmore was stopping back to keep him company, was n''t he? |
| 21375 | Going to be a carpenter?" |
| 21375 | Going to the wood?" |
| 21375 | Got rather a bad memory, have n''t you, sir?" |
| 21375 | Had a nice walk, Vane?" |
| 21375 | Had you?" |
| 21375 | Has it?" |
| 21375 | Have n''t got such a thing as a tumbler in your pocket, have you?" |
| 21375 | Have n''t seen one about anywhere, have you?" |
| 21375 | Have n''t you a tool- chest?" |
| 21375 | Have they caught them?" |
| 21375 | Have you been nursing me?" |
| 21375 | Have you brought a message from Mr Syme?" |
| 21375 | Have you seen Mr Vane since he left after lessons this morning?" |
| 21375 | He began it,--now, did n''t he?" |
| 21375 | He is not likely to have come upon poachers? |
| 21375 | He knows us now; but will you promise to be very quiet?" |
| 21375 | He was so quick and clever, but--""You did n''t like him for other things?" |
| 21375 | He''d pitch me overboard, would he? |
| 21375 | He''ll pitch me overboard, will he? |
| 21375 | Here we are: ground''s all trampled and kicked up, and what''s this here? |
| 21375 | Here, cook,"he cried sternly,"how came you to bring powder into the house?" |
| 21375 | Here, what does this mean?" |
| 21375 | Here,"he cried to the first lad, who was now within a yard of him, while the other was close behind;"see these? |
| 21375 | How could I be such a fool? |
| 21375 | How was it the boat upset?" |
| 21375 | However, I am intensely gratified to see that you are putting your little-- little-- little-- what shall I call them?" |
| 21375 | I ca n''t puzzle it out,"the doctor said, and the nephew shivered, for fear that the old gentleman should turn upon him suddenly and say,"Can you?" |
| 21375 | I could n''t, but there were such big ones; and what do you think I said?" |
| 21375 | I know you can never think of me as a friend, but--""Why ca n''t I?" |
| 21375 | I mean on the lining, eh, Vane?" |
| 21375 | I say, Gil, is there no place up here where we can buy some tuck?" |
| 21375 | I say, ca n''t you invent a new kind of thing-- a sort of patent oyster- knife to open stupid fellows''understanding? |
| 21375 | I say, do I look like a fool?" |
| 21375 | I say, hang it all, my lads, didst ta capsize the boat?" |
| 21375 | I say, is n''t he a genius at drawing?" |
| 21375 | I say, it ought to weigh pounds, ought n''t it?" |
| 21375 | I say, though, Mike, do you think it''s true about those old bits of leather?" |
| 21375 | I say, though, do you mean me to come and have lunch?" |
| 21375 | I say, uncle, what time is it?" |
| 21375 | I say, what shall we do this afternoon?" |
| 21375 | I suppose, then, you''re ready to believe that the church- tower''s haunted?" |
| 21375 | Inventing something?" |
| 21375 | Is he the sort of boy to play such a prank?" |
| 21375 | Is it likely I should make myself cross about a basketful of rubbishing toadstools that you''ve wasted your time in fetching out of the woods?" |
| 21375 | Is it the end of the world?" |
| 21375 | Is my face very queer?" |
| 21375 | Is n''t it all a judgment on me?" |
| 21375 | Is n''t it? |
| 21375 | Is that boy to do just as he pleases here? |
| 21375 | Is the rectory on fire, Distin?" |
| 21375 | It''s a glorious place, is n''t it, Aleck?" |
| 21375 | Just then a portly figure approached, and the rector''s smooth, quick voice was heard asking:--"Where is the fire, my men?" |
| 21375 | Kettle hot?" |
| 21375 | Like to join them for a bit, Vane?" |
| 21375 | Little chemistry, too, eh?" |
| 21375 | Master Vane Lee lost?" |
| 21375 | Me get powder to blow up copper holes? |
| 21375 | Measuring for that there noo- fangle notion of yours?" |
| 21375 | Mischief?" |
| 21375 | Mr Macey, shall I run over your paper now?" |
| 21375 | Mrs Lee, may I clear this table?" |
| 21375 | My dear, what is the matter?" |
| 21375 | Nice preparation for a college life; and what will they say at home?" |
| 21375 | No one would think it, though, would they, Gil? |
| 21375 | No, you could n''t believe it, sir, but, as true as my name''s Gramp, he did; and what does he do? |
| 21375 | Not Tompkins?" |
| 21375 | Not those nasty, tall, long- legged things you brought before?" |
| 21375 | Now, Bates,"he continued, turning rather sternly to the constable,"are you satisfied?" |
| 21375 | Now, suppose I wanted to perform some simple experiment, say, to show what convection is, with water, retort and spirit lamp?" |
| 21375 | Now, you see?" |
| 21375 | Oh, I say, why did you let that bit of furze fly back?" |
| 21375 | Oh, is it? |
| 21375 | Ready, Vane?" |
| 21375 | Remember them taters?" |
| 21375 | Shall I give you a shove?" |
| 21375 | Should he turn and run? |
| 21375 | Some one dead?" |
| 21375 | Some tramps?" |
| 21375 | Someone ill?" |
| 21375 | Speak out, my lad, you mean to carve your own way through life?" |
| 21375 | That do, sir?" |
| 21375 | The doctor did not say that you were to take anything back?" |
| 21375 | The doctor was silent, and the rector spoke again:"What do you say, constable?" |
| 21375 | The stranger was looking searchingly at him, and he spoke at once:--"You are the nephew, I suppose?" |
| 21375 | Then aloud:"But what does this mean, Vane, lad, are you right?" |
| 21375 | Then what do you call an Atlantic liner, with the propeller in its tail?" |
| 21375 | Then you have brought no news at all?" |
| 21375 | Then, turning to Deering:"But; look here, has Vane found out what was wrong?" |
| 21375 | Then, with an affected start as he saw the constable standing there,"Have you caught them?" |
| 21375 | There are a great many pheasants about there?" |
| 21375 | They are coming on, you say?" |
| 21375 | They ought to be punished; I''ve been very ill, have n''t I?" |
| 21375 | They''ll be ready by dinner time, will you come?" |
| 21375 | Three in one afternoon? |
| 21375 | Time you went, eh?" |
| 21375 | Tired of fishing?" |
| 21375 | Toadstools?" |
| 21375 | Try a few, Lee? |
| 21375 | Trying to make a steam engine?" |
| 21375 | Unless--""Yes,"cried the doctor;"unless what?" |
| 21375 | Vane followed him out eagerly; and as soon as they were in the garden, the visitor said quickly:--"Got a workshop?" |
| 21375 | Vane''s as strong as Distie, is n''t he?" |
| 21375 | Vane, my boy, will you come and hold the basket?" |
| 21375 | Want to go up or down?" |
| 21375 | Waste their sweetness on the desert air, I suppose you mean, madam?" |
| 21375 | Well, Mrs Bruff,"he continued, as the woman appeared to meet them at the door,"so Ebenezer is unwell?" |
| 21375 | Well, Vane, my boy, ready for bed once more?" |
| 21375 | Well, did you make him hear?" |
| 21375 | Well, so you found some mushrooms, did you?" |
| 21375 | Well, what about the greenhouse? |
| 21375 | Well, what is it?" |
| 21375 | Well, where is Gilmore? |
| 21375 | What about?" |
| 21375 | What accident could he meet with in walking to the village with a bottle of liniment and back, unless--""Yes?" |
| 21375 | What at?" |
| 21375 | What do they call it? |
| 21375 | What do you mean? |
| 21375 | What do you say, Vane?" |
| 21375 | What do you say?" |
| 21375 | What for? |
| 21375 | What have you done with them?" |
| 21375 | What have you got there, Lee?" |
| 21375 | What have you got?" |
| 21375 | What then?" |
| 21375 | What then?" |
| 21375 | What time did your husband come home last night?" |
| 21375 | What time is it?" |
| 21375 | What was it?" |
| 21375 | What was that? |
| 21375 | What would they want to''tack a young gent like that for?" |
| 21375 | What''s he up to now?" |
| 21375 | What''s it like-- what is it?" |
| 21375 | What''s that-- balloon?" |
| 21375 | What''s that?" |
| 21375 | What''s the matter?" |
| 21375 | What''s the matter?" |
| 21375 | What''s the matter?" |
| 21375 | What''s this? |
| 21375 | What, up yonder by old brigg?" |
| 21375 | What?" |
| 21375 | Where can he be? |
| 21375 | Where can he be?" |
| 21375 | Where has he been? |
| 21375 | Where have you been?" |
| 21375 | Where is it?" |
| 21375 | Where''s Mr Syme? |
| 21375 | Where''s the lane?" |
| 21375 | Where?" |
| 21375 | Wherever are you hurt? |
| 21375 | Which way does the wind blow?" |
| 21375 | Who''s going to be put on the tread- mill when he wants to have a ride in a boat? |
| 21375 | Who''s that pullin''the big bell at that rate?" |
| 21375 | Who''s that? |
| 21375 | Who''s that?" |
| 21375 | Why did he do that?" |
| 21375 | Why do you want to keep me out of your den?" |
| 21375 | Why not? |
| 21375 | Why not?" |
| 21375 | Why should n''t I? |
| 21375 | Why, do n''t they heat the vineries at Tremby Court with hot- water?" |
| 21375 | Why, what did you do that for?" |
| 21375 | Why-- no-- yes-- you do n''t mean to say as Mr Vane''s come round enough to say who knocked him about?" |
| 21375 | Why?" |
| 21375 | Will you come on and see him, as soon as we have got enough vegetables?" |
| 21375 | Will you introduce me?" |
| 21375 | Will you try a few?" |
| 21375 | Wo n''t be an unpleasant sight then, eh? |
| 21375 | Would you mind telling me where you was yesterday afternoon-- say from four to six o''clock?" |
| 21375 | Write? |
| 21375 | You ai n''t dead, are you? |
| 21375 | You are going to search?" |
| 21375 | You did not eat any of the-- er-- toadstools then?" |
| 21375 | You do n''t suppose I would take them up, and hand them over to the police, and let you lower yourself like you said, do you?" |
| 21375 | You do n''t think so, do you, Distie? |
| 21375 | You do n''t think there is anything serious?" |
| 21375 | You have just arrived from the Manor?" |
| 21375 | You have rather an inventive turn then, eh?" |
| 21375 | You heard what I said, Bruff?" |
| 21375 | You know how well that rose grows because it feels the heat from the fireplace through the bricks?" |
| 21375 | You mean over in Trinidad?" |
| 21375 | You mean to fight your own way in life?" |
| 21375 | You remember?" |
| 21375 | You there?" |
| 21375 | You understand me?" |
| 21375 | You understand?" |
| 21375 | You understand?" |
| 21375 | You will try them, Macey?" |
| 21375 | You would n''t knock her aboot?" |
| 21375 | You''ll see he will break out directly with a rash--""Oh, my dear,"cried Aunt Hannah,"then had n''t he better be kept in a warm bed?" |
| 21375 | You''re not going to eat those, are you?" |
| 21375 | You?" |
| 21375 | Young gent got any enemies as you know on?" |
| 21375 | a big fish?" |
| 21375 | came back; but almost simultaneously Vane shouted again, in a tone full of horror:--"Here, both of you-- Distin-- where''s Distin?" |
| 21375 | cried Aunt Hannah, excitedly;"unless what, my dear?" |
| 21375 | cried Gilmore,"where''s the show and the big drum? |
| 21375 | cried Macey, eagerly;"then you think they are not wholesome?" |
| 21375 | cried Macey,"going to improve''em?" |
| 21375 | cried Macey;"how do you know all these precious things so readily?" |
| 21375 | cried the rector; and, as the buzz of voices ceased, he continued,"Has anyone noticed a fire?" |
| 21375 | he cried;"caught''em?" |
| 21375 | he cried;"did you tell cook not to light the kitchen- fire?" |
| 21375 | he knows?" |
| 21375 | he shouted;"can you hold on?" |
| 21375 | he shouted;"what game''s this? |
| 21375 | roared Distin;"do you dare to threaten me?" |
| 21375 | said Aunt Hannah, innocently,"is he some engineer?" |
| 21375 | what bird''s that?" |
| 21375 | what now?" |
| 21375 | where''s Bruff?" |
| 21375 | who attacked you before?" |
| 21375 | why?" |
