39957	Then one asked:"What was it like-- the blessing He gave your teacher?
39957	Then you say: How can this be truth if it creates disaster?
39957	There is no question of society or dinners, but just us two alone, you and me-- and,"turning up her face,"you are happy with me, my Yuki San?
39957	Up there by Mollie?
39957	Was God a dream too?
39957	Was it sparkle of winter days?
39957	Was it stately march of moon?
39957	Was it the presence of dear friends?
39957	Was it you got the revivalist to come up from the Gulch?
39957	Was there any_ You_ in all the empty worlds?
39957	Well, what do you think of that?
39957	Were ye worth the roof of a womb?
39957	What can I do?"
39957	What devil''s spirit has seized upon thee?"
39957	What did mother tell you a few moments ago?
39957	What do the little bedroom scandals of the flimsy novels matter when the womanhood of Belgium has been despoiled?
39957	What do you mean, my honorable Uncle?"
39957	What does he want it for though?
39957	What has happened?"
39957	What is Paris?
39957	What is it to be king?
39957	What is the bill of fare?
39957	What of the redwings building their nests among the reeds in the midst of the marsh-- so low as almost to touch the water?
39957	What of the unpretentious home-- a mere hollow in the ground-- where the care- free pair go to housekeeping?
39957	What warrant of Being had that soul which could not touch in all the blank, black spaces of the void another soul to give it assurance of itself?
39957	What was it?
39957	What would it be every morning to take the saddle and follow a new road ahead of the sun?
39957	What would it be to wake up every morning with a fresh wonder, not knowing what the day would bring?
39957	What you waiting for, Murph?
39957	When suddenly, dubious and still unconvinced, he turned to me and asked:"Well, how in time did you find the razor?"
39957	When, at length, shy Bird of Fortune, shall my snare thy wings enfold?"
39957	Which is which?"
39957	Who can say that they have not chosen the better part?
39957	Who of all this gathering was more welcome than"John, the Fiddler"?
39957	Who will care for my little son?"
39957	Why did he_ marry_ her?"
39957	Why did you leave your little Rosie?
39957	Why should I care for bowing?
39957	Why should I not think of my own desires before my dust, too, flies forgotten before the passing caravans?
39957	Why should she add even the weight of her preference to that child in whose favor the dice were already so heavily loaded?
39957	Why?"
39957	Will someone pray?
39957	Will thee urge disrespect to the whole Society?
39957	Will you find the minister a seat?
39957	Wo n''t ye ever shet up?"
39957	Would it be hard?"
39957	Would it be of any use to go in?
39957	You girls never turn down free liquor, do you?
39957	You love me?"
39957	You may be sure I got there in a hurry, almost as quickly as Jennie, who was but a few steps away, calling as I ran:"Did he step on him?"
39957	You noticed her work in this room, ai n''t you-- on the table and chair and organ-- art needlework?
39957	You travelin''fellers allus know somethin''new, and are up to whatever is goin''on over the country, ai n''t ye?"
39957	Your kid is-- d- e- a- d. Do you get me?
39957	Yuki looked at the tragic face before her a moment, then she said:"At last, at last you know?"
39957	_ King Nasrulla._ And these are the stories that you have heard, stories about Paris and London and the cities across the water?
39957	_ Mehrab._ Does he not mean to make you queen whether you wish to be or not?
39957	_ Mehrab._ He threatened you, did he?
39957	_ Murphy( looking across at the loafers and speaking half as an invitation, half as a command)._ Are you staying, boys?
39957	_ Nourmahal( passionately)._ But what shall we ever choose again-- and get what we choose?
39957	_ Nourmahal( rising in agitation)._ When I am your queen, will you follow the voices of other nightingales?
39957	_ Nourmahal._ And I shall not be your only queen?
39957	_ Nourmahal._ But I shall not ride with you into the distance and leave the kings''daughters behind?
39957	_ Nourmahal._ It has not been so in Saranazett, but does nothing change?
39957	_ Nourmahal._ Stories?
39957	_ Nourmahal._ Why should anyone bow to me?
39957	_ One of the Men( doggedly, as they look at one another sheepishly and no one moves to go)._ Ai n''t we always stayin''till closin''time?
39957	_ Rosie Phelan( reaching over and pulling Long''s sleeve)._ Did you hear that, Dick?
39957	_ Rosie( lifting her arms to fasten the beads)._ Not takin''an active part?
39957	_ Second Painted Lady( patronizingly)._ How would you expect Murphy to know what is stored in that machine?
39957	is hypocrisy always so cruelly punished?
26987	A Dane?
26987	A what?
26987	A-- a--?
26987	Ah, I see,replied the professor,"a Mendelian segregation, you mean?"
26987	Ai n''t he teachin''us right?
26987	Ai n''t it a little early for Sunday- school picnics?
26987	Ai n''t it some of our business?
26987	Ai n''t that the stuff the old man used on the lawn last spring?
26987	Ai n''t that the trouble with our education, Jim?
26987	Ai n''t that your business and mine?
26987	All right,said Jim,"what shall I say you''ll do for the schools?"
26987	And who''s his star pupil?
26987	And why ca n''t he make good?
26987	And, Mr. Irwin,she went on,"will you have the school records, so we may be able to ascertain the proper standing of these pupils?"
26987	Any important work on the telephone line now?
26987	Any of the home folks coming in to see?
26987	Anyhow,Jim went on,"what''s the use?
26987	Anything wrong with your phone?
26987	Are n''t we sure to be defeated at last? 26987 Are you to be called upon to decide?"
26987	Aw, what''s the use of diggin''into it like this?
26987	Buddy,said Jim, patting the youngest Simms on the head,"you and Virginia can print the reading lessons this morning, ca n''t you?"
26987	But if I can not line him up?
26987	But why?
26987	Ca n''t you cripple him someway?
26987	Ca n''t you?
26987	Can Jennie keep on bein''county superintendent, now she''s married?
26987	Culture,cried Jim,"is the ability to think in terms of life-- isn''t it?"
26987	Did I?
26987	Did an old fellow named Hoffman from Pottawatomie County ask you to leave us and take his school?
26987	Did either of you fellows ever have any real duck- shooting?
26987	Did he swallow any of it?
26987	Did them examples come out of an arithmetic book?
26987	Did you hear,said she,"what Angie Talcott asked?"
26987	Did you line him up?
26987	Did you make any deal with those people down in the western part of the state?
26987	Did you talk with her about my work?
26987	Do n''t you get any fun out of doing a good day''s work?
26987	Do n''t you think father is lovely?
26987	Do n''t you think,said Doctor Brathwayt,"that it was less like a school because it was more like life?
26987	Do n''t you want me to be elected, Jim?
26987	Do they help much, Calista?
26987	Do they take much technical skill?
26987	Do you get them words from the speller?
26987	Do you reckon, Mr. Newton, that it''ll pizen him?
26987	Do you refuse to resign?
26987	Do you remember how you got that?
26987	Do you teach the kind of school you lay out in your talk?
26987	Do you think,said Jim,"that changing my methods would appease the men who feel that they are made laughing- stocks by having elected me?"
26987	Does anybody else think so?
26987	Ever hear of the use of nitrates to enrich the soil?
26987	Farmer, eh?
26987	For the better, always?
26987	Has it come to that?
26987	Have you a lawyer?
26987	He rounded up that gang of kids that shot us all to pieces at that hearing, did n''t he?
26987	He was alive, then?
26987	He?
26987	How about arithmetic and the other branches? 26987 How about the grammar?"
26987	How about you, Raymond?
26987	How are they about reading aloud?
26987	How are you enjoying it?
26987	How do them white specks keep us from needin''nitrates?
26987	How do you kids know so darned much about it?
26987	How does he accommodate so many visitors in that small edifice?
26987	How many can you round up?
26987	How many pupils of the Woodruff school are here?
26987	How much did they weigh?
26987	How so?
26987	How you feeling, Newt? 26987 How''m I goin''back on you?"
26987	How?
26987	I do n''t see,said a voice over against the cooking exhibit,"what there is in this to set people talking?
26987	I s''pose you''re off trampin''the slews at the sight of a flock of ducks four miles off as usual?
26987	I''m awful heavy, ai n''t I?
26987	I''ve had no idea he could make good as a teacher-- and what is there in it if he does?
26987	If we leave you in this yob, Mr. Irwin, our children will know nothing but cows and hens and soils and grains-- and where will the culture come in? 26987 Is it anything more than an outline of the mental march the pupils are ordered to make?
26987	Is n''t he related to some of the neighbors?
26987	Is n''t it fine to have the fireplace?
26987	Is n''t that looking rather far ahead?
26987	Is n''t your mother here, Jim?
26987	Is that a possibility?
26987	It would be nice, would n''t it?
26987	It''s Jennie''s baptism of fire, I reckon... and say, you''re not using the court room, are you?
26987	Jim,said she,"do you know that you are facing trouble?"
26987	Jim,said the colonel,"can these kids spell?"
26987	Just like Garfield in that Republican convention he was nominated in-- eh, Con?
26987	Know any Latin?
26987	Know what they are, Newt?
26987	May I call a little meeting here for a minute, Jim?
26987	Mr. Simms, I believe?
26987	Nils Hansen''s girl?
26987	No?
26987	On what grounds?
26987	Really,protested Jennie,"I do n''t think myself--""What do you think of his notions?"
26987	School out?
26987	Seein''we''ve busted up your program so far, may we take a little while longer?
26987	Since when has the position of teacher been an elective office?
26987	So I hear,said the president--"mostly a fight, is n''t it?"
26987	Some wood- ducks, I suppose?
26987	Take a chair, wo n''t you?
26987	That''s good,said Jim,"and they enjoy it, do n''t they?"
26987	The people,said the colonel,"must have a choice offered to''em, or how can you or any man tell what they want?
26987	Then will you be so kind and condescendin''as to stoop so low as to jump so high as to give him this letter?
26987	They do n''t pay him for overtime, do they?
26987	To do what?
26987	Was n''t there an effort made to remove him from his position?
26987	Well, then, Jim,said she,"why do you keep on with it?"
26987	Well, they''re cows, ai n''t they?
26987	Well, what do you call Wilbur Smythe?
26987	Well, what shall we do about it?
26987	Well,said Jennie,"do you desire to rest your case right here?"
26987	Well,said Jennie,"now that I''m married can I go on being county superintendent?"
26987	What am I neglecting?
26987	What business is that o''yours?
26987	What can I do?
26987	What d''ye mean by stopping me in this kind of place?
26987	What d''ye mean by''hosts''?
26987	What d''ye think of our school?
26987	What d''ye think, Ez?
26987	What d''ye want?
26987	What do I want?
26987	What do you mean?
26987	What do you want of that weed?
26987	What does Professor Withers say?
26987	What for did you vote for the dub, Ez?
26987	What for?
26987	What for?
26987	What has he lost if he does n''t?
26987	What is the course of study?
26987	What job?
26987	What kind of a proposition did that man Hofmeister make you?
26987	What say, Ez?
26987	What sort of job?
26987	What time''s the election, Ez?
26987	What wrong''s he done committed?
26987	What you been eating?
26987	What''ll you do with that?
26987	What''s all this?
26987	What''s the matter, boy?
26987	What''s the matter?
26987	What''s the matter?
26987	What''s the use of political meetings,said Jim,"when you and I can stand here and think our way out, even beyond the limits of our Universe?"
26987	What, for instance?
26987	What?
26987	Where can I see you after supper?
26987	Where did he imbibe them all?
26987	Where do you learn all these things, Jim?
26987	Where''s the copy?
26987	Who are the district?
26987	Who can do that?
26987	Who taught him the supreme wisdom of holding back his troops when they grew too wild for attack?
26987	Who''ll handle the pool?
26987	Who''s elected?
26987	Who''s going?
26987	Who''s making it?
26987	Who''s your school- teacher?
26987	Whom shall we invite?
26987	Why ca n''t they?
26987	Why did n''t you ask my advice?
26987	Why did n''t you phone me?
26987	Why did n''t you put it in Latin?
26987	Why not?
26987	Why not?
26987	Why should they th''ow Mr. Jim outen the school?
26987	Why, Jim,said the colonel,"you are n''t getting short of breath are you?
26987	Why, where''s he gone?
26987	Why?
26987	Why?
26987	Why?
26987	Why?
26987	Will you be out here to- morrow?
26987	Wo n''t the cream pool pretty near pay the expenses of running the school all summer?
26987	Wo n''t you come in and let me clean the mud off you,she asked,"and give you some dry socks?"
26987	Would he?
26987	Would you like to?
26987	Yes, but how about our schools bein''ruined by a love affair?
26987	Yes,repeated Jim,"old friends.... We are, are n''t we, Jennie?"
26987	Yes,said Jennie,"and when the teacher asked us to kneel and thank God, you said,''Why should we thank God that somebody else is blowed away?''
26987	Yes?
26987	You mean these boys?
26987	You saw what he did?
26987	You want to line him up, do you?
26987	You''d vote for me, would n''t you, Con?
26987	_ Has_ he?
26987	***** Was a woman ever quite without a costume?
26987	A decoration?"
26987	A man might rise in the spirit, but how about rising in the world?
26987	A-- a-- what?"
26987	An''now, what am I good fer?
26987	An''what has made the change in we- uns, ladies and gentlemen?
26987	And Jim?
26987	And echo answered,"What?"
26987	And had not Newton become a better boy-- a wonderfully better boy?
26987	And is it worth the fight?"
26987	And was n''t that just what she had been looking for in her mind?
26987	And what could he ever be?
26987	Any other nominations?
26987	Any pain?"
26987	Anything to him?"
26987	Are you?"
26987	Bonner?"
26987	But how does the milk tester fit into the curriculum of the school?
26987	CHAPTER VI JIM TALKS THE WEATHER COLD"Going to the rally, James?"
26987	Ca n''t you see it''s all wrong?"
26987	Cain''t I get anything I want at the stores?
26987	Cain''t I git a little money at the bank, if I got to have it?"
26987	Can he handle the crowd when it''s with him?"
26987	Could n''t we do this next fall?
26987	Could she approach the subject with any degree of safety?
26987	Did he know how cruel he was?"
26987	Do I see frost on your boots?
26987	Doc?"
26987	Does it appeal to ye?"
26987	Fortunately, she had n''t hindered him much-- but who was to be thanked for that?
26987	Going to the speakin''?"
26987	Had he not always been a dreamer?
26987	Had he not taken great interest in the project?
26987	Have you sort of kept them up to the course of study?"
26987	He''s what- ho within, there, ai n''t he?"
26987	How about this county fair idea?
26987	How can they tell themselves?"
26987	How could he flee, when this old soldier was fighting so valiantly for him in the trenches?
26987	How could he get the money for his expenses?
26987	How could he impose conditions on the whole school district?
26987	How could the colonel expect such a thing of him?
26987	How many oan you speak for?"
26987	How many will come back to- morrow morning at nine o''clock, and bring your school- books?
26987	How will our boys and girls appear when we get fixed so we can move to town?
26987	I do n''t know what all it is you want to do, but I do n''t, believe you can do it in nine months, can you?"
26987	I sha n''t be disturbed this year-- and after that-- what''s the use?"
26987	I thought you good for the mile, and you are n''t turning out a quarter horse, are you?
26987	I''ve told you about the Brown Mouse, have n''t I?"
26987	In an hour''s drive?"
26987	Mr. Irwin, will you please assume the duties?"
26987	Now, how about the census in the adjoining districts?"
26987	Or would it show me incompetent?"
26987	Otherwise, how was one to know whether the visitor was friend or foe?
26987	Perhaps it was not so high a status as the old; but who was to say that?
26987	Peterson?"
26987	Peterson?"
26987	See?"
26987	Shall I keep to them?"
26987	Shall we drive our best away to make it stronger?"
26987	Should n''t I quit at the end of my contract?
26987	Suppose I refuse to resign?"
26987	Suppose we move to town-- where does the culture come in?"
26987	The Lord was calling to a broader field-- but how could he be sure it was the Lord?
26987	The three members of the board with their immediate friends and dependents could muster two or three ballots each-- and who was there to oppose them?
26987	There were two or three men-- rather good catches, too-- who, if they were encouraged-- but what was there to any of them?
26987	They want to know?"
26987	This advice from her to"believe in what you have done,"--wasn''t there something new in Jennie''s attitude here?
26987	This turkey takes us back to the chaparral of Mexico----""What''s chaparral?"
26987	Was I, Colonel?
26987	Was he obliged to pay an honorarium for the chance to speak before the college gathering?
26987	Was it owing to any wisdom of hers?
26987	Was n''t I perfectly wuthless an''triflin''?"
26987	Was n''t his belief in what he was doing precisely the thing which had made him such a nuisance to the county superintendent?
26987	Was this the life to which public office had brought her?
26987	Well, had he not always been incompetent, except in the use of his muscles?
26987	Well, shall we go in?"
26987	Were not all his dreams as foreign to life and common sense as the Milky Way from the earth?
26987	What about her?"
26987	What d''ye say to comin''down and teachin''our school?
26987	What do you mean by a new kind of rural school?"
26987	What do you mean?"
26987	What do you see wrong in it?"
26987	What do you want?
26987	What for does he vote for that Bonner, and throw down an old neighbor?"
26987	What if the soil was so poor, in comparison with those black uplands, that the owner of the old wood- lot could find no renter?
26987	What was an honorarium?
26987	What was he anyhow?
26987	What would your tralalooral rural school do?"
26987	What''ll we do when the school board gets Jennie Woodruff to revoke his certificate and make him quit teachin'', hey?"
26987	What''s happened?"
26987	What''s the matter of your ol''man, Newt?
26987	Where are all the matches?"
26987	Where''d you get the raisin idee?"
26987	Where''s Mr. Irwin?
26987	Which would be the most becoming do you think?"
26987	Who wanted to be school director?
26987	Who''s in possession of that correspondence with the Wisconsin creameries?"
26987	Why not?"
26987	Why should n''t it have been even better served?
26987	Why, then, did the county superintendent hastily run to her room, and cry?
26987	Will you stick if we can swing the thing for you?"
26987	Will you try it?"
26987	Would Jim be able to buy suitable clothes?
26987	You ca n''t expect to retain a Cæsar, a Napoleon, or a Lincoln in a rural school, can you?"
26987	You do n''t want us to do all this in fifteen minutes, do you, Jim?"
26987	cried his mother,"where are you in pain?
26987	when I shall have finished telling what came of what Jennie Woodruff said to Jim Irwin, her father''s hired man?
12179	A girl,said I deceitfully,"traveling afoot and alone on the prairie?
12179	Ah, Mrs. Mobley,said Buck,"anything for me?"
12179	Ah, it''s you, Mr. Vandemark, is it?
12179	Ai n''t he purty?
12179	An''dat patent churn-- dat bane for Christina, too, eh, Yake?
12179	An''that adopted daughter o''theirn, Buck Gowdy''s sister- in- law, eh?
12179	And was his wife a quiet, kind of sad- looking woman that never said much?
12179	And what good would it do anyhow?
12179	And where did you get breakfast?
12179	And where were you, my poor boy,said she,"when she moved?"
12179	And you have n''t seen any lone girl or woman at all, even at a distance?
12179	And,sneered Mr. Wisner crushingly,"how long does it take a man to clear and grub out and subdue enough land in Herkimer County to make a living on?
12179	Anything more I can do for you?
12179	Are n''t you afraid, Teunis?
12179	Are you Mrs. Gowdy''s sister?
12179	At your house?
12179	Be friends,I blundered,"be friends?
12179	But do n''t you understand,he insisted,"that this trip has got to end here?
12179	But is n''t there a man among them?
12179	But that man-- won''t he follow our tracks?
12179	But where''s my land?
12179	Ca n''t you cook?
12179	Ca n''t you think where he stays?
12179	Can we be of any assistance?
12179	Can you fight?
12179	Can you shoot?
12179	Can you tell me the way to the schoolhouse?
12179	Can you understand what I''m saying?
12179	Christina who?
12179	Could you go?
12179	Did n''t you have any trouble in Dubuque?
12179	Did she ever leave word for you anywhere,asked the woman,"before you ran away?"
12179	Did she mention me?
12179	Did they?
12179	Did you ever see his wife?
12179	Did you ever see,said she,"such a set of darned infarnal fools as we are?"
12179	Did you notice his wife-- whether she seemed to be feeling well?
12179	Did you notice,said I,"that for miles we drove in the water-- back there on the prairie after the rain?"
12179	Did you pick up any passengers as you came along?
12179	Do n''t you hear the bell?
12179	Do n''t you know that?
12179	Do n''t you know,said the captain,"that you ortn''t to pound a feller with a horseshoe?
12179	Do n''t you remember that we drove up over a spur of the hill back there? 12179 Do n''t you think so?"
12179	Do n''t, eh?
12179	Do you ever go to church?
12179	Do you know any one,she asked,"good people-- along the road ahead-- people we''ll overtake-- that would be friends to a girl that needs help?"
12179	Do you love her like that?
12179	Do you think I want my bed all dirtied up with''em?
12179	Do you want me to sign it?
12179	Do you want six inches o''cold steel in your liver?
12179	Do you want what I know about the history of Vandemark Township in your book, or are you just out after my money?
12179	Friend of yours?
12179	Glad to make your acquaintance,said Gowdy;"and may I crave the acquaintance of our young Argonaut here?"
12179	Going across?
12179	Going with us after all? 12179 Got any saleratus?"
12179	Had a wife and no children?
12179	Hain''t you never goin''to grow up?
12179	Have you ever worked?
12179	Have you room for a passenger?
12179	Heavy loaded?
12179	How are you going to get to Canada?
12179	How can I get this money away from him?
12179	How could we come without leaving tracks?
12179	How do we know it is money? 12179 How do you do, Jacob?
12179	How do you do, Teunis?
12179	How do you know it''s worthless?
12179	How is our farm?
12179	How is the white heifer?
12179	How much money would it take?
12179	How old be you, Jake?
12179	How will you get me back on land?
12179	How you going, Judge?
12179	I am surprised, and there''s no woman out there with the poor little thing?
12179	I do n''t want to,said she,"I could n''t stay here, could I?
12179	I guess that''s the man,said I;"do you know where he is now?"
12179	I think I recognize that wagon, do n''t I?
12179	I''ve run for county office and got beat,said Wilbur:"and that takes you in, too, do n''t it, Jake?"
12179	If they knew that we were out with all this money, do n''t you suppose they would be after it? 12179 If you want that Iowa farm, pa--""Who?"
12179	Is anybody in sight?
12179	Is it a good country for a boy to locate in?
12179	Is it deep?
12179	Is it far?
12179	Is it on this awful prairie?
12179	Is it that man?
12179	Is n''t the sweat of your face just as plenty when you delve in the prairies?
12179	Is she a relative of yours?
12179	Is there any plow- land on it?
12179	Is there anything I can do?
12179	Is there preaching here to- day?
12179	Is this the Vandemark schoolhouse?
12179	Jacob,said she, with a sort of gasp,"you wonder why I kissed you up there, do n''t you?"
12179	Jake,said she,"are you and Rowena married?"
12179	Jake,said the judge,"whose house is that we just passed?"
12179	Kin you?
12179	Kind of a tall man with a sandy beard? 12179 Land already entered?"
12179	Locating over at our new town of Lithopolis, is n''t he? 12179 Look like me?"
12179	Make who give it back?
12179	May I offer,said he,"the hospitalities of the city in the form of a hot whisky toddy?"
12179	Mike Cosgrove, ai n''t that his name?
12179	My name''s Gowdy,he said;"all you people going west for your health?"
12179	No,I answered;"and I guess if any of them had seen her they''d have mentioned it, would n''t they?"
12179	No,said I;"have you?"
12179	Now, Jake,said he,"will you behave?"
12179	Now,said she, coming and sitting down by me, and laying her hand on mine,"ai n''t this more like it?
12179	Oh, has she? 12179 Or are you scared of the Bunkers?"
12179	Over your head?
12179	Rowena,I shouted,"what you doin''here?
12179	Safe?
12179	Shall I go, Jake?
12179	So you are going to fight Kaintucky?
12179	So, ignorant as I am, I kept a school last summer-- did you know that?
12179	Somebody wants me?
12179	Stranger here?
12179	Sure?
12179	The preacher''s wife?
12179	Then why do you change?
12179	They said.... Do you say she''s at your house? 12179 This ai n''t little Jake, is it?"
12179	To- day?
12179	Was he going on east?
12179	We?
12179	Well,I said,"who be you chasing, coming over here a dozen times when I did n''t know it?
12179	Well,said he,"what do you and your friend say?
12179	What are you goin''to do with me, Jake?
12179	What can I do for you- all?
12179	What can you do?
12179	What can you do?
12179	What crops have you planted?
12179	What d''ye mean?
12179	What did they say?
12179	What did you shoot for?
12179	What difference does it make? 12179 What do you mean?"
12179	What do you need?
12179	What do you regard as the qualifications?
12179	What do you think of Virginia''s dress and shawl?
12179	What do you think of that kind of talk?
12179	What do you want?
12179	What for?
12179	What good would that do?
12179	What in hell,asked the hired man when they got outside,"did you hit me for with that blasted strap?"
12179	What interests?
12179	What is it?
12179	What is it?
12179	What kept you so long?
12179	What kind of a gun?
12179	What made that old road?
12179	What makes you call this a station?
12179	What of?
12179	What said the old man, Yake?
12179	What seems to be the matter? 12179 What steps are you takin''?"
12179	What time was that?
12179	What was the next thing, Rowena?
12179	What water is that?
12179	What will happen,said Thatcher,"if this young man tells any one that he''s seen you?"
12179	What will you do with me, Jacob?
12179	What''s his name?
12179	What''s the matter of your hands?
12179	What''s the matter, Jacob?
12179	What''s the matter, little girl?
12179	What''s the matter?
12179	What''s up?
12179	What''s wanted, gentlemen?
12179	What?
12179	When you go back,said he,"if I do n''t, will you do me and this little offspring of mine-- and its mother-- a favor?"
12179	Where are the other corners?
12179	Where are we?
12179	Where did Sally go?
12179	Where do you live?
12179	Where have you lived all your life?
12179	Where is he?
12179	Where is he?
12179	Where is he?
12179	Where is she?
12179	Where shall I ride?
12179	Where''s Rowena?
12179	Where''s Rucker?
12179	Where''s he?
12179	Where''s my land?
12179	Where''s my mother?
12179	Where''s your folks?
12179	Which way is Monterey Centre?
12179	Who do you expect to meet in Canada?
12179	Who is she?
12179	Who you driving for, Johnny?
12179	Who you driving for, Johnny?
12179	Who''s sick, Jake?
12179	Who''s there?
12179	Who, me dying?
12179	Who?
12179	Who?
12179	Whose brat is this?
12179	Whose rig is that?
12179	Why are n''t you safe here? 12179 Why did n''t she write to you?"
12179	Why do n''t you bring Virginia out some day?
12179	Why do n''t you go on the railroad?
12179	Why, Jacob, Jakey,he drooled,"is this you?
12179	Why, Teunis,she cried,"is it you?
12179	Why, grandpa,she cried,"what''s the matter?
12179	Why?
12179	Why?
12179	Why?
12179	Why?
12179	Why?
12179	Will this hurt Virginia''s feelings if it is printed?
12179	Will you go, Jake?
12179	Will you?
12179	Wo n''t that be fine?
12179	Wot will the world come to, Jack, when younkers like this get a- goin''? 12179 Would it hurt much?
12179	Would n''t you lie,said she,"for me?"
12179	Would you like to work for me?
12179	You ai n''t married, yet, be you?
12179	You are just two thoughtless children,said he;"are n''t you now?"
12179	You hain''t lost him, have you?
12179	You hare, Yake?
12179	You hauled him-- and his wife?
12179	You have got the money promised you, have you?
12179	You have n''t heard any of the people on the road speak of this wandering girl, have you?
12179	You''ll sign our petition, wo n''t you?
12179	Young man,said he, drawing himself up stiffly,"what do you mean--?"
12179	Your mother?
12179	''What''s in that bag?''
12179	And after all what was I to her but a stranger?
12179	And if so, what about me?
12179	And to- night I pop some corn if you furnish butter, hey?"
12179	And what could you and Mr. Stone do against such robbers?"
12179	And where, most emphatically, where was Rowena?
12179	Any one waiting to rob us would be on the regular road, would n''t they?"
12179	Are you dying, my darling?"
12179	Are you sick?
12179	Ask Dick McGill, eh, Jake?
12179	At that rate, what was this swamp worth?
12179	But wars are fought by inconsistent men who suffer and die for other people''s ideas: do n''t you think so?
12179	But why were the dress and shawl smuggled into her room, instead of being brought openly?
12179	But, I thought, what could she do?
12179	Ca n''t a Dutchman see a joke?"
12179	Calls himself Doctor Rucker?"
12179	Can anything more clearly prove the vanity of human experiences?
12179	Can you drive?"
12179	Did ever any peril turn to any one a face so full of clemency and tenderness as this blizzard to me?
12179	Did he have any legal right to her control and custody?
12179	Did n''t I think I''d like it if I changed my way of writing my name to J. Teunis Vandemark?
12179	Did some one mean to fix it so the Bunkers would rob us of the satchel and thus let everybody off?
12179	Did the Bushyagers know about the satchel?
12179	Did they know it was full of salt instead of money?
12179	Did you hear it jingle?"
12179	Did you see him hugging them girls?
12179	Did you see him kissing them?"
12179	Do n''t that beat doing everything yourself?
12179	Do n''t you know enough to use saleratus to sweeten the sour milk?
12179	Do n''t you know you''ll get burnt up?"
12179	Do n''t you see?"
12179	Do you always act like this when you fight?"
12179	Do you remember he''s got one finger off?
12179	Do you understand, Jacob?"
12179	Eh, ma?"
12179	Eh?"
12179	Ever seen that poverty- stricken, semi- hamlet, squatting on the open prairie, and inhabited by a parcel of dreaming Nimshies?"
12179	Father with you?"
12179	Finally she said:"Am I wearin''anything you ever seen before, Jake?"
12179	Finally,"Did they say anything about me, Jacob?"
12179	For what if Virginia, in the schoolhouse without fuel, should try to reach the place where she boarded, or any inhabited house, in that storm?
12179	For what other purpose had they come to this patch of woods?
12179	Going which way?"
12179	Good talker?
12179	Had it come to pass in all these weeks and months in which I had not seen her that they had come to be on speaking terms again?
12179	Had not she and I cried together over the memory of my mother?
12179	Had she not been my intimate companion for weeks, cooked for me, planned for me, advised me, dreamed with me?
12179	Has Buckner Gowdy been around here?
12179	Has the wind changed?
12179	Have you any little calves?"
12179	Have you passed such a person?"
12179	Have you seen the baby lately?"
12179	He was cross, was n''t he?
12179	Hear''em jingle?
12179	Horses lame?"
12179	How be friends?"
12179	How could any one be found who had disappeared into that region which swallowed up thousands every month?
12179	How did he know my name?
12179	How did he know she was invited, or going?
12179	How did it happen that I did n''t see your outfit, Mr. Vandemark?
12179	How old are you?"
12179	I ca n''t remember much that was said; but I remember that the fat woman kept saying,"What do you mean?
12179	I might go with a body- guard, eh?"
12179	I stay?"
12179	I wonder if his knights were not in the main, pretty shabby rascals, as bad as Dick McGill-- or Cow Vandemark?
12179	I wonder if it was wrong to feel for her?
12179	I wonder if you would n''t like to turn an honest penny by coming over and working for me for a while?"
12179	I wondered why Mrs. Mobley had come with an excuse to get Mr. Gowdy away from me-- or after a couple of weeks''thinking, was it from Rowena?
12179	If he was a member of the Bunker gang, were n''t the Bushyagers members of it also?
12179	If we could locate along o''some of our ol''mates, somebody like old John Tucker,--it would be a-- a paradise, eh, Jake?"
12179	Is any one threatening you?
12179	Is she very bad?"
12179	It did not seem probable that we should be"nepoed"--but, after all, why not?
12179	It makes her dizzy-- and scares her awfully; can you take her?"
12179	It would n''t be breakin''the Sabbath to mix up a bakin''for a poor ol''bach like you, would it?
12179	Judge Stone was a much nicer man than the governor to meet up with, but-- well, what''s the use?
12179	Judge Stone whispered in my ear, looking anxiously around,"have you seen the governor in the last half or three- quarters of an hour?"
12179	Kind of plausible talker?
12179	Lucky I was right about its being a single- barrel, ai n''t it?
12179	May I?"
12179	Monterey Centre-- ever been there?
12179	Never thought of this when you were in jail, did you?"
12179	Not Rucker, eh?"
12179	Of course I''m yours-- and you are mine, Teunis-- ain''t you?"
12179	Of course, he would be on Buck Gowdy''s side; for what rights had such people as Magnus and Rowena and I?
12179	Oh, why ca n''t they all be good like you, Teunis?"
12179	Or maybe you want bread baked?
12179	Pretty well fixed?
12179	Railway?"
12179	See anybody you knew on the way?"
12179	Sellin''gawp- seed, or what is your business?"
12179	She ai n''t goin''with you?
12179	She spoke of the day when I was in my heart the meanest: but how could I explain?
12179	She was crying so that she did not hear me when I asked:"Why ca n''t we go on as we are?
12179	Should I go back to the canal?
12179	Show it to me, Jacob?"
12179	Sick?"
12179	So, Vandemark, you think I need killing, eh?"
12179	Sure it''s in this county?"
12179	That''s why you bought that mustang pony, eh?"
12179	The lawyer, Jackway, my guardian_ ad litem_, came into the tavern in a high and mighty and popular way, saying"How de do, ward?"
12179	The smoke swept down upon her, and when I next could see, she was stooped with her shawl drawn around her head; or was she on her knees?
12179	This was serious; but when I said to myself that the East would never secede, the question, Why not?
12179	To whom could she be speaking?
12179	Used to live down east of Syracuse?
12179	Vandemark?"
12179	Virginia was now as free from care as if she had been traveling with her brother; and what could I say?
12179	Want her?
12179	Want to see him?"
12179	Was I to be killed to save Judge Stone, or Governor Wade, and if so, which?
12179	Was it honest to let Dunlap and Thatcher drive off to liberate the nation with a horse that might go lame?
12179	Was she not scorning me even now?
12179	Was the plan to have the bag of"treasure"stolen from us by the Bunker gang a part of the scheme of whoever took the money?
12179	We say"thank you"to the man who pays us for a day''s wages; but why, if the work is worth the money?
12179	Went out west three years ago?
12179	What about Rowena?
12179	What color is it?"
12179	What could it be?
12179	What did I want to say?
12179	What do you expect to do on the prairies?"
12179	What do you mean?
12179	What had he been coming over for?
12179	What is it?
12179	What is title to land anyhow, but the right of those who have it to hold on to it?
12179	What kind of land have you been farming in the past?"
12179	What shall I do?"
12179	What should I do without her?
12179	What should I do?
12179	What use to me were wheat in the shock, hay in the stack, cattle on the prairie, corn already hiding the ground?
12179	What was a week''s time to me?
12179	What was it?"
12179	What was my idea in driving cows?
12179	What would Gowdy do to get Virginia back?
12179	What would happen if everything in the lives of us folks out here was to be told, especially as it would be told in Dick McGill''s paper?
12179	What would she do without me?
12179	What''s this manuscript you''re destroying?
12179	What''s wanted?"
12179	When did I think of getting under way?
12179	Where are you two bound for?"
12179	Where did you get''em, Virginia?"
12179	Where did you stay last night?"
12179	Where was Ma Fewkes, and where were Celebrate Fourth and Surajah Dowlah?
12179	Where was my mother?
12179	Where would I have been?"
12179	Where you goin''?"
12179	Which way are you going?"
12179	Which will you do?"
12179	Who else had the key to the office or knew how to open that safe?
12179	Who was guilty?
12179	Who''s with her?"
12179	Whose business was it anyhow?
12179	Why ca n''t every one be wise like us?"
12179	Why had I not used my opportunity to make her love me-- to force from her the confession of her love?
12179	Why not use my power?
12179	Why not?
12179	Why?
12179	Will it bring her back to life for you to stretch hemp?"
12179	Will you have the papers opened, and act for the dead scoundrel if it seems the proper thing to do?
12179	Will you stay here, and not move out of this room till I come back?"
12179	Will you, Jacob?
12179	Wo n''t you and the doctor join me in a night- cap in honor of our neighborship; and drink to better acquaintance?
12179	Wo n''t you come to dinner with us?"
12179	Would he try at all?
12179	Would it not all have to come out finally?
12179	Would n''t that be more like livin''?"
12179	Would she have done this if I had been driving oxen, or still worse, those animals which few thought worth anything as draught animals-- cows?
12179	Would she not laugh at me with some more forceful man when she had found him?
12179	You hare, Yake?
12179	You never have but about one mother, do you, Jake?
12179	Your house bane burn up in fire?"
12179	made with my own hands, mainly?
12179	said Henderson L."You ca n''t be expected to set up with it like it had typhoid fever, can you?
18413	A-- a-- a what?
18413	Am I supposed to guess?
18413	And Larkie, too?
18413	And let us make taffy after supper?
18413	And the baby?
18413	And what are you going to be?
18413	And what do they say of me?
18413	And what shall we serve them?
18413	And where in the world did you get these towels and silk shirts?
18413	And where is the chair- bottom now?
18413	And why did you take it?
18413	And you two great big girls came off and left poor little Connie in there alone with a burglar, did you? 18413 And you understand, do n''t you, father, that if everything does not go just exactly right, I shall feel I am disgraced for life?
18413	Are n''t they at home? 18413 Are n''t you Limber- Limb Grant?"
18413	Are the girls at school?
18413	Are the twins boys, or a boy and a girl?
18413	Are these rotten oysters?
18413	Are you assaulted?
18413	Are you beginning to feel sick? 18413 Are you going to be busy this afternoon, Prudence?"
18413	Are you going to live in Mount Mark now? 18413 Are you hurt?"
18413	Are you sick, Prue?
18413	Are you sick?
18413	Are your feet wet, twins?
18413	Been any men in here to- night?
18413	Before?
18413	But do n''t you see how hard it will be for me to go away?
18413	But do n''t you want to get married,--some time?
18413	But do you like her?
18413	But how do you twins understand all these things so thoroughly?
18413	But she will ask where we got it, and what shall we say?
18413	But wo n''t it be rather-- poky-- just sitting in the front room by yourselves all evening?
18413	But you precious child,he whispered,"why did n''t you call out, or pound on the door?"
18413	Ca n''t you send those girls away for the night,--to some of the neighbors? 18413 Can I go and take a walk?"
18413	Can you bring him here?
18413	Can your father make her eat? 18413 Come down- stairs, will you?
18413	Come now, what do they say? 18413 Could you walk from here to Burlington at one stretch?"
18413	Did he look rich?
18413	Did the twins play fair, Connie?
18413	Did they say you might have them?
18413	Did you ask Miss Allen about it?
18413	Did you ever have a lover, Prudence? 18413 Did you ever?"
18413	Did you get my application?
18413	Did you know your sleeve was coming out?
18413	Did you play football at college? 18413 Did you see him?"
18413	Did you take the bottom out of this chair?--It must have been horribly uncomfortable for those who have sat there!--However did it happen?
18413	Did you think I walked clear from Des Moines?
18413	Did you? 18413 Did your father send you on an errand?"
18413	Do n''t the twins tell you little things that happen at school,--like that, for instance?
18413	Do n''t you have dreams of the future? 18413 Do n''t you have dreams?"
18413	Do n''t you remember saying you could n''t swallow when we were coming home from school?
18413	Do n''t you think you owe me something, as well as your father and sisters? 18413 Do n''t you think, my dear,"began Mrs. Prentiss too sweetly,"that they are a little more than you can manage?
18413	Do n''t you want some fudge, Connie?
18413	Do the twins dress alike?
18413	Do you call that a blessing?
18413	Do you drink?
18413	Do you like Miss Allen?
18413	Do you mean you want me to get my things, and go right now?
18413	Do you mind if we take Jerry around by the woodshed for a few minutes, Prue?
18413	Do you really prefer to stay at home, Prudence?
18413	Do you see this board?
18413	Do you suppose there can be seven devils in my tongue, Lark, like there are in the Bible?
18413	Do you suppose they caught her?
18413	Do you suppose you can find us some milk, Prue? 18413 Do you think I have pet bugs to carry around with me for company?"
18413	Do you think it is all right for me to wear it, father?
18413	Do you think me so unmanly that I could n''t fall in love?
18413	Do you think we can carry home oysters for the-- the-- personal consumption of this Babbling young prince? 18413 Do you want me to rub it?"
18413	Do your shoulders hurt, Carol?
18413	Does Prudence know about that?
18413	Does she miss me? 18413 Does that make it square?"
18413	Else you would not have taken it, eh? 18413 Excuse me just a minute, will you?"
18413	Fairy, did n''t father leave his watch hanging on that nail by the table? 18413 Father,"began Prudence, her eyes on the lace coverlet,"do you think it would be all right for me to wear that silk dressing- gown of mother''s?
18413	Finish getting supper, will you, Fairy? 18413 Go in and entertain Babbie till I come down, wo n''t you?"
18413	Has Prudence been worrying about something this winter?
18413	Has she been grieving, and fretting for something?
18413	Have heretics feelings?
18413	Have n''t you seen the morning paper? 18413 Have you been sick?
18413	Have you got any rotten ones?
18413	How about the twins?
18413	How do you do?
18413	How do you expect to keep to- day''s minutes?
18413	How is that?
18413	How long did it take you coming from Des Moines to Mount Mark?
18413	How much have you got?
18413	How old are you, my dear?
18413	How should I know? 18413 I am sure you are very nice indeed, and we are going to be good friends, are n''t we?
18413	I am sure you will not mind that, will you father? 18413 I suppose it would hardly do to-- pop corn, would it?"
18413	I''ll bet there are a lot of nice fellows in Mount Mark, are n''t there?
18413	I-- I-- well, you know I-- you remember what I told you that first day, do n''t you? 18413 If I get below seventy will I be put down a grade?"
18413	Is Des Moines just full of beautiful girls?
18413	Is Mr. Harold in?
18413	Is he handsome?
18413	Is he young?
18413	Is it a riddle?
18413	Is n''t he a duck?
18413	Is n''t it a dandy?
18413	Is n''t it a lovely day? 18413 Is n''t it beautiful, Prudence?"
18413	Is n''t it beautiful? 18413 Is n''t it beautiful?"
18413	Is n''t she in on this?
18413	Is n''t that Mrs. Adams coming this way? 18413 Is n''t that heresy?
18413	Is she all right?
18413	Is she better?
18413	Is she sleeping?
18413	Is she very stupid?
18413	Is that your idea of love? 18413 Is there any way out of that closet besides this door?"
18413	Is your throat still sore, Carol?
18413	It is that young man, is n''t it?
18413	It was n''t the one that had the giminy billibus, was it?
18413	It''s a good thing father has to go to the trustees''meeting to- night, is n''t it?
18413	It''s a pretty street, is n''t it?
18413	It''s just Miss Avery getting home from school.--Isn''t it, Prudence? 18413 It''s nice she can sleep like that, is n''t it?"
18413	It''s so hot walking, is n''t it? 18413 Jerry is out unusually early, too, is n''t he?
18413	Jerry,he said abruptly,"did you and Prudence have a quarrel?
18413	Just like ordinary men, is n''t he?
18413	Just sit and look at each other and admire yourselves?
18413	Let''s make taffy, shall we, Fairy?
18413	Listen now, Prue,--how is this?
18413	Look here, Prudence, what did Miss Allen tell you? 18413 Look here, Prue,--what do you make of this?
18413	May I come in a minute?
18413	Maybe he will,--but who will keep the parsonage while I am away?
18413	Must you prepare meat for breading half an hour before cooking, or when?
18413	No,said Lark,"we have better judgment than to go splashing through the wet old snow.--What''s the matter with you, Carol?
18413	No,--but do n''t you remember the picnic,--and how you kept gathering them up in your handkerchiefs and putting them in your pockets? 18413 Now, tell father,"he urged,"how did you get in the dungeon?
18413	Now, what is wrong? 18413 Now, what would you advise us to do?"
18413	Now, will you twins run down- town for the oysters?
18413	Oh, Carol,said Prudence reproachfully, wiping her eyes,"how could you start us all off like that?"
18413	Oh, Des Moines is quite a city, is n''t it? 18413 Oh, Larkie, will you run up- stairs and bring my lace handkerchief?
18413	Oh, Prudence, do you suppose the doctors will let me come in and watch them bandage your head? 18413 Oh, are you ready?"
18413	Oh, father,she said quite snappily,"is n''t that just like me?"
18413	Oh, we''ve had it in the house quite a while,said Prudence, adding swiftly,"Is n''t it warm, Connie?
18413	Oh, why does n''t father do it?
18413	Oh, yes, Lark,suggested Carol finally,"do n''t you remember she said the Bible was an allegory?"
18413	Oh,--whatever will Mattie Moore say to me? 18413 Or this afternoon?
18413	Papa says his feet are not wet, and that you are a big simpleton, and-- Oh, did you make cinnamon rolls to- day, Prue? 18413 People do not have sense in their bones, Fairy, and-- and-- shall I say professor, or just plain Mister?"
18413	Prudence Starr,she cried furiously,"how dare you say such things of us?
18413	Prudence, shall we have tea or coffee?
18413	Put them on the table, Fairy dearest, and-- leave me for a little while, will you? 18413 Ride, sir?
18413	Say, Grant, what''s a fellow like you doing on such a fifth- rate job as this? 18413 Say, Prudence, is n''t this that old brown coat of father''s?"
18413	Shall I go down now? 18413 Shall I put flannel on her chest and throat, father?"
18413	Shall I raise a window?
18413	Shall we continue the meeting, Ladies?
18413	She''s very pretty and sweet, is n''t she?
18413	Sweet corn?
18413	The Methodist minister''s little girl, is n''t it? 18413 The front room?"
18413	The whole summer?
18413	Then you had another coat?
18413	To- morrow, Prudence? 18413 Was it a bad sprain?
18413	Was it all right?
18413	Was this something of yours, Fairy?
18413	We saw him use his wings when Connie yanked him out of the big maple, did n''t we, Lark?
18413	Well, first, are you a Christian?
18413	Well, if this did n''t belong to one of you, whose was it?
18413	Well, what can I do for you, Miss Constance?
18413	Well, when does your Des Moines tour come off? 18413 What are you going to do all evening?"
18413	What are you going to do to him?
18413	What did Miss Allen say?
18413	What did he say?
18413	What did you do to this soup, Prudence?
18413	What do they say of us?
18413	What do you think of that?
18413	What do you want it for?
18413	What else did Miss Allen say at school?
18413	What happened?
18413	What has all this to do with Miss Allen?
18413	What has she been doing?
18413	What has that got to do with it?
18413	What have you been doing all night? 18413 What have you been doing, Lark?"
18413	What in the world did you say that for? 18413 What in the world did you think I would walk from Des Moines for?"
18413	What in the world would they ever do without you, Prudence? 18413 What in the world?"
18413	What in the world?
18413	What is going on to- night?
18413	What is the matter, Lark?
18413	What is the matter? 18413 What is the matter?
18413	What is there about me that you do not like?
18413	What is unusual about the circumstances?
18413	What kind of a smell?
18413	What now? 18413 What''s that got to do with it?"
18413	What?
18413	What?--Oh!--Which do you want, Jerry?
18413	When''s he coming back?
18413	When''s that Morley chap coming back?
18413	Where did you get this stuff?
18413	Where does he live? 18413 Where in the world did you get hold of an idea like that?"
18413	Where in the world did you get such an idea as that?
18413	Where is he now?
18413	Where is your baggage?
18413	Where is your umbrella?
18413	Where''s Connie? 18413 Which does your father prefer?"
18413	Which is your way of saying that you do not like me, is n''t it?
18413	Which of your professors do you like best?
18413	Who shut that door?
18413	Who wrote it? 18413 Who?
18413	Whose coat is this, Prudence?
18413	Whose?
18413	Why are n''t you going to be married?
18413	Why did n''t you talk it over with me, Prudence?
18413	Why do n''t you? 18413 Why we wanted to make----""You and Lark?"
18413	Why, you see, father, Jerry lives with his aunt in Des Moines,--he told you that, did n''t he? 18413 Why?
18413	Why?
18413	Why?
18413	Will five dollars be enough?
18413	Will you be warm enough?
18413	Will you get the sirup now?
18413	Will you kindly jab this into me?
18413	Will you loan me twenty dollars until after Christmas, Connie?
18413	Will you tell him that Constance Starr wishes to speak to him, privately, and that it is very important?
18413	Wo n''t Fairy make us? 18413 Wo n''t Prudence tell you?"
18413	Would n''t it be more fun to have the girls in for a little while?
18413	Would n''t you like a little nice, hot, oyster stew?
18413	Would you have promised, if she had asked it?
18413	Yes, and have refreshments for just you two?
18413	Yes, and have refreshments for just you two?
18413	Yes, may I? 18413 Yes, of course.--When is he coming back?"
18413	Yes?
18413	You are Miss Starr, are n''t you?
18413	You are Mr. Harmer, are n''t you? 18413 You are Mrs. Adams, are n''t you?
18413	You see?
18413	You''ve been up all night, have n''t you, dearest?
18413	You-- did Prudence send you?
18413	Your eyes are brown, are n''t they?
18413	''Carol,''said Miss Adams gently,''you forgot yourself, did n''t you?''
18413	A Methodist parsonage is not just in your line, is it?"
18413	A little later he said,"Do you mind if I go upstairs and talk to your father a few minutes?
18413	And Carol added,"Will you kiss Prudence good night for us, and tell her we kept praying all the time?
18413	And Prudence said,''Now, father, on your word of honor, did you knock me down with that ball on purpose?''
18413	And before Prudence was fairly inside the door, she demanded,"What is it?
18413	And do you attend the college at Mount Mark?
18413	And he said,''I wonder if your sister would n''t go?
18413	And if ever I can help with poor little Hattie, will you let me know?
18413	And she ca n''t talk about it yet, so be careful what you say, will you?"
18413	And this exquisite board?"
18413	And what do you suppose the weird creature did with it?
18413	And what would the girls say if I should go back on them?
18413	And when Connie came to the telephone, she cried,"Oh, you blessed little child, why did n''t you tell me?
18413	And when we are better acquainted, will you let me call you Prudence?"
18413	And who is Fairy?
18413	And why should he be at it so early in the morning?
18413	And wo n''t you stay for dinner with us?
18413	And you ca n''t be happy without me, can you?"
18413	And, do you mind if I just suggest that you go a little slow with Prudence?
18413	Are n''t those twins unique?
18413	Are n''t you going to give us one?"
18413	Are the girls up yet?"
18413	Are you coming to stay?"
18413	Are you in a very great hurry this afternoon?
18413	Are you raising him, too?"
18413	Are you referring to this Babbling creature now?"
18413	Are you sick?
18413	Are your feelings hurt?"
18413	Are your feet wet?"
18413	As soon as they finished supper, Lark said,"Do n''t you think we''d better go right to bed, Prue?
18413	Babbie''s such a giddy scatter- brained youngster, you''d think he''d prefer----""Do you like him, Fairy?
18413	Before they went up- stairs, Lark inquired sarcastically:"I suppose, Fairy, you''ll don your best blue silk in honor of this event?"
18413	But I guess you are n''t that kind, after all?"
18413	But Prudence asked,"Where did you get this money, Connie?"
18413	But do n''t you think it only fair that you should give me a chance to try?"
18413	But does n''t the snow make you think-- pretty things, Prudence?
18413	But her eyes clouded a little as she asked,"Do you think they would rather have Aunt Grace than me?"
18413	But how in the world will you get home?
18413	But is n''t it a nuisance to have him tagging along home with me, when I might be having such a good time with you and the twins, or father?
18413	But is n''t it strange that the prettiest and dearest one of them all should be the oldest daughter?"
18413	But it is perfectly glorious to have five hundred dollars, is n''t it?
18413	But one simply ca n''t tell beforehand what to expect, can one?
18413	But please, Prudence, wo n''t you punish me some way without letting Lark know about it?
18413	But she looked so-- heartsick, did n''t she, Fairy?"
18413	But the next question,--can you pass a strict physical examination?"
18413	But what has happened to my girls?
18413	But what has that to do with it?
18413	But what of that?
18413	But when she reached the top, and peered around her, she found little comfort,--and no desirable company?
18413	But why?
18413	But you will write to me, wo n''t you?"
18413	But, Prudence, you wo n''t let Carol know, will you?
18413	But-- doesn''t it seem wrong, father, that-- a girl-- that I-- should love Jerry more than-- you and the girls?
18413	CHAPTER XIII SHE ORDERS HER LIFE"Prudence, are you going to Aunt Grace''s early in the summer, or late?"
18413	Ca n''t we go somewhere else?"
18413	Ca n''t you tell nice, interesting, mild stories?"
18413	Ca n''t you wait just five minutes?
18413	Can a girl tell a man she prefers to go home with her family, without hurting his feelings?
18413	Can you carry her, father?"
18413	Carrie''s my twin, and-- oh, father, do n''t you see how it is?"
18413	Come now, as you stood at the window there, what were you thinking?"
18413	Connie ran in excitedly, wanting to know what was the matter with everybody, and were n''t they to have any luncheon?
18413	Could n''t you have pretended to be interested?
18413	Dare she trust Lark in such a crisis?
18413	Did I ever tell you what Carol said about that kitchen- dining- room- living- room combination at Exminster?
18413	Did I judge my children by what was in their hearts, or just by the trouble they made me?"
18413	Did n''t God bring us together, and make us love each other?
18413	Did the twins ever tell you what happened the first day of school?"
18413	Did you call me, Prudence?"
18413	Did you ever have a coat like this, Prudence?
18413	Did you ever have five hundred dollars before?
18413	Did you ever see a rector jumping a three- wire fence, and running full speed across his front yard, in pursuit of a flying family?
18413	Did you find out?
18413	Did you make any noise coming down the stairs?"
18413	Do n''t they talk of their professors at home at all?"
18413	Do n''t you like me then, after all?"
18413	Do n''t you really think an older woman is needed?"
18413	Do n''t you remember the sheep and the goats?
18413	Do n''t you remember what Orlando said about Rosalind,--''just as tall as my heart''?
18413	Do n''t you see how it is?
18413	Do n''t you see it is?
18413	Do n''t you think He intended us for each other?
18413	Do n''t you think he''s tiresome?
18413	Do n''t you think our love for you is big enough to make us happy in seeing you happy?
18413	Do n''t you think there is something awe- inspiring in the idea of just turning a little knob on the wall, and flooding a whole room with light?
18413	Do n''t you want some more fudge?
18413	Do n''t you?"
18413	Do you expect the Ladies to look right through it?"
18413	Do you get seasick when you climb high?"
18413	Do you know what the scholars call Professor Duke?"
18413	Do you know where the bottom of that chair has gone?"
18413	Do you know which way is nearest to a house?
18413	Do you like blue eyes?
18413	Do you like riding in a car?"
18413	Do you mean to say they have never told you about it?"
18413	Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
18413	Do you mind if I move my chair a little closer?"
18413	Do you mind if I tie you in, to make assurance doubly sure?"
18413	Do you remember how I shoved him away, and shuddered?
18413	Do you remember that hill, father?
18413	Do you see it?"
18413	Do you see?
18413	Do you suppose I could wipe my fingers with a handkerchief that had been in one of his pockets?"
18413	Do you suppose you can do that, Jerry?
18413	Do you think I want an invalid on my hands?"
18413	Do you think it would be all right to send Limber- Limb Grant a letter of thanks for it?
18413	Do you think it would be all right?
18413	Do you think we are as despicable as all that?
18413	Do you think we''d better tell Prudence all about it?"
18413	Do you think you can let me have it?"
18413	Do you want it a little shorter, Connie, or is that about right?"
18413	Do you want me to call you Jerry still?"
18413	Do you want to come with me?"
18413	Do you want to keep us away from her to attend to you?"
18413	Do you want to make Carrie worse?"
18413	Do you wish you had never met me?"
18413	Do you?"
18413	Do your friends call you Jerry?"
18413	Do-- do you love me so much, my dearest?"
18413	Does it pain you very badly?
18413	Does n''t he require sleep, as the rest of us do?"
18413	Does n''t it seem-- wicked?"
18413	Does she seem sorry that I am away?
18413	Does your head still ache?"
18413	Even Prudence laughed a little at this, but she said,"Why do n''t you scold her?"
18413	Every mother there was asking in her heart,"Did I punish my children just for the effect on me?
18413	Explain it to the girls, will you?"
18413	Fairy sank back, intensely mortified, and Miss Carr chirped brightly:"Oh, Fairy, dear, did you write this little poem?
18413	Fairy stifled her laughter with difficulty, and said in a low voice,"Would n''t you like a little nice, hot, oyster stew?"
18413	Father''s coat, I mean?"
18413	Father, will you put on your black suit, or are you too busy?
18413	Five dollars you say you want?"
18413	From Des Moines?"
18413	Go to bed, wo n''t you, sweetheart?
18413	Goodness knows I eat enough-- Why, what is the matter?"
18413	Had the awful twins filled it with needles for the reception of the poor Ladies?
18413	Harmer?"
18413	Harold?"
18413	Harold?"
18413	Has Connie been in mischief?"
18413	Has the parsonage a porch?"
18413	Have I ever failed you?
18413	Have you been eating?
18413	He closed the door after him, did n''t he, Lark?"
18413	He offered me his handkerchief to wipe it off?
18413	He stepped into the closet, did n''t he, Lark?"
18413	Honestly, may I go up to- morrow?
18413	How can you think of such sweet little things?
18413	How did you get him in the closet?
18413	How do they expect parsonage people to keep up appearances when they have n''t any money?"
18413	How far is it to Mount Mark?
18413	How many times have I told you not to tell weird stories like that?
18413	How much will the interest be on five dollars?"
18413	How old are you?"
18413	I am an abominably solid sleeper, am I not?
18413	I do not have to go, do I?
18413	I love houses with porches, do n''t you?
18413	I thought father had forgotten to take his watch with him, but it was n''t there.--Do you really think it was Sunday he forgot it, Fairy?"
18413	I''ll be just at the head of the stairs, and if Prudence wants me, you will call, wo n''t you, Mr. Harmer?
18413	I''ll----""Prudence, do you use half milk and half water for creamed tomato soup, or all milk?"
18413	I''m not going to get married, so it would be silly to fall in love, would n''t it?"
18413	I''m so fond of crackers and milk, are n''t you, Babbie?"
18413	I-- I like it better to be with my sisters than----""Than with me?
18413	I-- you will be nice to him, wo n''t you?"
18413	If I fail them, will they ever trust anybody else?
18413	If I make you some soup, will you eat it?"
18413	If he commands her?"
18413	Imes?"
18413	Instantly Connie was asked the all- important question:"Are your feet wet?"
18413	Is Jerry coming to spend Christmas with us?"
18413	Is anything wrong?
18413	Is anything wrong?"
18413	Is it my fault?"
18413	Is it very awful?"
18413	Is it very nice?
18413	Is n''t it a beauty?"
18413	Is n''t it a funny name, father?
18413	Is n''t it about time for the twins to get here, Prudence?
18413	Is n''t it nice that we can count on Fairy''s remembering?"
18413	Is n''t it pretty?
18413	Is n''t that a handsome Venus?
18413	Is n''t this a lovely yard?
18413	Is that all right?
18413	Is that the school over there?"
18413	Is that where you live?"
18413	Is there any way to turn a person down without letting him know it?
18413	Is your father very strict?
18413	It comes in very handy right now, does n''t it?
18413	It does n''t seem so bad, does it?
18413	It is a sad thing to think of a college professor being called Fairy all her life, is n''t it?
18413	It must have taken every cent of your money, did n''t it?
18413	It was mighty lucky he happened along, was n''t it?
18413	It''s a great honor for me to have the privilege of bringing up four clever girls to do great things,--don''t you think?
18413	It''s-- do you-- do you notice a-- a funny smell in here?
18413	Jerry Harmer, you need me to take care of you, do n''t you?"
18413	Leaning forward suddenly, she said,"Miss Starr, why do the twins dislike me?"
18413	Let me run up- stairs first, wo n''t you?
18413	Let me take it to- morrow morning, will you?
18413	Let''s just be friends now, ca n''t we-- until later-- for a long time yet?
18413	May I examine your foot?"
18413	May I have it?
18413	May I keep it?
18413	May I open the door, Prudence?"
18413	May n''t I read it aloud?"
18413	Maybe if you will send me a paper and pencil-- I can write him a note now?
18413	Morgan?"
18413	Morgan?"
18413	Now what are you going to do as a last resort?''
18413	Now what do you reckon he meant by that, Fairy?
18413	Now, do not talk too much, Prue, and-- what shall we have for dinner?
18413	Now, why?
18413	Now, will I dare to come back to- morrow if I stay for dinner to- night?
18413	Now,--oh, Fairy, did you remember to dust the back of the dresser in our bedroom?"
18413	Of course, the reporters can practise balancing them scientifically,--but how does it happen that they always have aquiline noses?
18413	Oh, Connie, wo n''t you turn the clock a little this way, so I can see it?
18413	Oh, it does look nice, does n''t it, Fairy?
18413	Oh, that''s Christian Science, is n''t it?
18413	Oh, what is it?"
18413	On my right side, Fairy, do you understand what that means?
18413	Or am I imagining it?
18413	Professor likes women to be dignified and intellectual and deep, and----""Then why on earth did he ask me to go?"
18413	Prudence knows it, but she did not make me promise to quit that?"
18413	Red crosses make a very pretty decoration, do n''t you think they do, Lark?"
18413	Shall I get the maple sirup for the pancakes?
18413	She''s as bad as the priest and Levite, is n''t she?"
18413	Should they go farther?
18413	So I said,''Do you mean Prudence, or one of the twins?''
18413	Something was hurting them, but whether it was their fear of the wrath of Prudence, or the twinges of tender consciences,--who can say?
18413	Sometime will you let me ride your wheel?"
18413	Suppose you should see a blackbird running a race down the street with a sparrow, what would you call it?''
18413	Thank you, Lark,--isn''t it a pretty handkerchief?
18413	That he should come first?
18413	The Ladies smiled, and Miss Carr, laughing lightly, said,"She is an attentive creature, is n''t she?"
18413	The boy could n''t imagine, and professor said,''What would you call that, Carol?''
18413	The parables, for instance,--what are they?
18413	The question is, What shall it be?"
18413	The soup is ready, and piping hot,--but what is it you want me to say?"
18413	The very best and closest of friends?"
18413	The what?"
18413	Then as Prudence rose to go home, she asked eagerly,"Do you think the twins will like me now?"
18413	Then as he turned toward the door, he asked carelessly,"Is he very good- looking, Prudence?"
18413	Then he said,''Now, Carol, if I was the king''s eldest son, what would you call me?''
18413	Then leaning forward:"What do you do, Miss Avery, when you meet people you dislike at very first sight?"
18413	Then said Prudence, seemingly of her own free will, but really directed by an all- controlling Providence,"Is n''t it great fun to ride a bicycle?
18413	Then she added rather shyly,"Fairy, are you ashamed of me sometimes?
18413	Then she inquired in a low voice,"Did you tell him why you wanted it?"
18413	Then she said significantly,"I suppose you are going to divide with us?"
18413	Then with the admirable board beneath my arm, I mount to the heights of-- Say, twins, did n''t I see an old buggy seat out in the barn to- day?
18413	Then you must come to the door and say,''Would n''t you like a little oyster stew?''
18413	Then,"Did you send him anything, Prue?"
18413	There is school to- morrow, is n''t there?"
18413	There''s no use waiting, is there?
18413	They were exasperating, and humiliating, too, but what did they do that was really mean?
18413	They will tell you if you ask them, wo n''t they?"
18413	This is almost bordering on talent, is n''t it?
18413	Us?"
18413	Was she complaining about us?
18413	Was the ride very hard on your ankle?"
18413	We are, are n''t we?
18413	We ask her,"What if you had not gone out for a ride that morning?"
18413	We did it for a good purpose, do n''t you see we did?
18413	Well, she asked us a riddle,''When is a dining- room not a dining- room?''
18413	What are you going to do?''
18413	What are you talking about?"
18413	What do you care about college?"
18413	What do you suppose could have sent the lover away like that?"
18413	What does it smell like?"
18413	What had Miss Allen told their sister?
18413	What have I done?
18413	What have they been doing?
18413	What have they done to- day?
18413	What in the world do you want the back of the dresser dusted for?
18413	What in the world had happened to separate in the morning these two who had been kissing so frankly in the back yard the evening before?
18413	What in the world has she done?"
18413	What in the world is that?"
18413	What is his line?"
18413	What is the matter?
18413	What matter?
18413	What shall I do?"
18413	What shall we have?"
18413	What time is it, Fairy?"
18413	What was he doing in the hickory grove?"
18413	What was her errand?
18413	What was it you said?"
18413	What will they do when you get married?"
18413	What would etiquette think of her, after this?
18413	What would the-- others do without you?
18413	What''s the job?"
18413	What, then, was the explanation?
18413	What----""I forget what you told me to say,"whispered Prudence wretchedly,"what was it?
18413	Whatever had they been doing now?
18413	When the college girls are here, and you are all talking so brilliantly, are n''t you kind of mortified that I am so stupid and dull?
18413	Where are they?
18413	Where did it come from?"
18413	Where did you get it?"
18413	Where''s the money?"
18413	Who could have sense on such a day, with such a girl as this?
18413	Who would keep the parsonage?
18413	Who would look after you?"
18413	Who would raise the girls?
18413	Why am I always so ravenously hungry in the morning?
18413	Why are you all hugging the register, may I ask?
18413	Why are you staying away?"
18413	Why did n''t you call me?
18413	Why do n''t they keep their pledges?
18413	Why do n''t they pay for their religion?"
18413	Why do n''t you mind me, and do as I tell you?
18413	Why do n''t you sit still?
18413	Why do they call it Mount Mark?"
18413	Why in the world did n''t you tell us beforehand?"
18413	Why was Lark going upstairs?
18413	Why wo n''t the twins give me a chance?
18413	Why, then, do you go back on me now, when you really need me?"
18413	Why?
18413	Why?"
18413	Will that be all right?
18413	Will you be down soon?"
18413	Will you carry me in?"
18413	Will you come in?"
18413	Will you do it?
18413	Will you do that, twinnies?"
18413	Will you do that?"
18413	Will you do this for me?"
18413	Will you eat in the dining- room?"
18413	Will you forgive me, Connie?
18413	Will you forgive me?
18413	Will you promise?"
18413	Wo n''t it be a good joke on her?"
18413	Wo n''t that be better?"
18413	Wo n''t that do?"
18413	Wo n''t that do?"
18413	Wo n''t they break your pledge if you leave them out?"
18413	Wo n''t you be a good girl now, and not make sister feel badly about it?
18413	Would I ever go to bed without making sure that Connie was safe and sound?"
18413	Would n''t Connie say that was disgracing the parsonage?"
18413	Would n''t it be glorious?"
18413	Would n''t the twins have laughed?
18413	Would that be just or fair?
18413	Would you keep these pearls on, Fairy, or would you take them off?"
18413	Would your father let you spend a week?
18413	You are the soul of the parsonage, are n''t you?"
18413	You call me Jerry, will you?"
18413	You know I didn''t!--But-- maybe Jerry wo n''t forgive me now?"
18413	You know what an atheist is, do n''t you?
18413	You know what heresy is, do n''t you?
18413	You might get cross, and take them away from me.--Did you go to college?"
18413	You see, father, I really feel that this is a crisis in the life of the parsonage----""How long does a parsonage usually live?"
18413	You want me to call you Jerry, do n''t you?"
18413	You will stay, wo n''t you?"
18413	You''re Mr. Starr, the Methodist minister at Mount Mark, are n''t you?"
18413	You''re not just fooling me, are you?
18413	You''ve never had a vacation in your life, and father promised Aunt Grace on his reputation as a minister, did n''t you, papa?"
18413	[ Illustration:"Yes, and have refreshments for just you two?"]
18413	are you asleep?"
