| 42925 | And Fanny? |
| 42925 | And Menard''s? |
| 42925 | And again in the Autumn,--"What is it?" |
| 42925 | And by means of a_ Clark_ at that? |
| 42925 | And is this to be the end of all our fought- for liberty, that Napoleon should rule America?" |
| 42925 | And that diaphanous cloud,--was it a dress? |
| 42925 | And the beautiful Donna De Leyba? |
| 42925 | And what do you say of the Osage lands? |
| 42925 | And who can tell it? |
| 42925 | And who is to pay the bills incurred in the Illinois conquest? |
| 42925 | And who swore better by the King? |
| 42925 | And why should he not? |
| 42925 | And yet Wabasha, dignified and of superior understanding, when asked,"Wabasha? |
| 42925 | Are not our relation wit de Indian friendly? |
| 42925 | Are we not Americans?" |
| 42925 | Are you going to build?" |
| 42925 | As Washington went forty years before to inquire of the French,"Why are you building forts on the Ohio?" |
| 42925 | Bones? |
| 42925 | But Virginia, bankrupt, impoverished, prostrate, answered only,--"We have given you land warrants, what more can you ask?" |
| 42925 | But from what old treasure stores did those girls bring garments, homespun and new and woolly and warm, prepared against this day of reunion? |
| 42925 | But how could that be when Milly married while Meriwether was away soldiering on the Ohio? |
| 42925 | But the Donna? |
| 42925 | But the chief asked me,''Can ye run fast?'' |
| 42925 | But what could she do? |
| 42925 | But when did George Rogers Clark ever stop to eat when there was fighting on hand? |
| 42925 | But where was Dunmore? |
| 42925 | By what right does he speak?" |
| 42925 | Can genius surmount destitution? |
| 42925 | Can we restore fortifications that are in ruins? |
| 42925 | Can you fit me out in the name of Virginia?" |
| 42925 | Can you help?" |
| 42925 | Close the Mississippi for twenty- five years as a price of commercial advantage on the Atlantic coast? |
| 42925 | Could I have done with less? |
| 42925 | Could he dream what destruction lay in their course? |
| 42925 | Could he hold the lawless West? |
| 42925 | Could he then foresee that Judith would become his wife, or that the verdant Judith Basin would be the last retreat of the buffalo? |
| 42925 | Could it be possible that the Governor meant all these fine phrases? |
| 42925 | Could it have been a corrupted tradition of the crucifixion of Christ? |
| 42925 | Could such a prize be foregone for any defect of eyesight? |
| 42925 | De cannon at gates? |
| 42925 | Did he cast regretful eyes this way? |
| 42925 | Did he commit suicide in a moment of aberration, or was he foully murdered by an unknown hand on that 11th of October, 1809? |
| 42925 | Did he hope yet to win consent to his marriage with Louisa? |
| 42925 | Did not Patrick Henry''s father drink the King''s health at the head of his regiment? |
| 42925 | Did some poor stranded mariner teach the savage this semi- civilised architecture, or was it evolved by his own genius? |
| 42925 | Did the Spaniard still hope to stay? |
| 42925 | Did you say the Virginians had come?" |
| 42925 | Do they preserve you from sickness? |
| 42925 | Do they serve you beyond the grave?" |
| 42925 | Do you ask? |
| 42925 | Do you recall his thoughtfulness in sending for our horses when we feared they might be stolen? |
| 42925 | Had he not from childhood obeyed John Clark''s command,"Look after your young master"? |
| 42925 | Had he not led rangers from Fairfax''s lodge to the farthest edge of Bottetourt? |
| 42925 | Had not the Shawnees harried his border for years? |
| 42925 | Had some Spanish sailor told of a shore"like his own green Arragon"? |
| 42925 | Had they brought back gold then what might have been the effect upon the restless, heaving East? |
| 42925 | Hamilton, with the blood of many a borderer on his head,--what had he to hope? |
| 42925 | He had lately purchased a three- and- a- half arpent piece of land north of St. Louis for a home for his mother,--or was it for Maria? |
| 42925 | He was locally regarded as a great literary man, for had not the journals of his expedition been given to the world? |
| 42925 | His village? |
| 42925 | How can that be?" |
| 42925 | How could boats be made to go against the current? |
| 42925 | How could they withstand the onslaught of Hamilton and his artillery? |
| 42925 | How did you come?" |
| 42925 | How long since they burned our boats and cargoes at Fort Bellevue? |
| 42925 | How much more remained to conquer? |
| 42925 | How old were you then? |
| 42925 | How soon might the theatre of action come over the sea? |
| 42925 | How would you like to lead such a party? |
| 42925 | I dislike old John Clark? |
| 42925 | II_ THE CLARK HOME_"What do you see, William?" |
| 42925 | IX_ THE ROMANCE OF THE MANDANS_"What will they find?" |
| 42925 | IX_ TRADE FOLLOWS THE FLAG_"_ Bon jour_, Ms''ieu, you want to know where dat Captinne?" |
| 42925 | If she died who would unlock the Gates of the Mountains? |
| 42925 | Is he to control us also?" |
| 42925 | Is he well and enjoying the fruits of his valour?" |
| 42925 | Is that the boom of distant cannon? |
| 42925 | Is that true?" |
| 42925 | Is that why people call our George the''Washington of the West''?" |
| 42925 | Is this all you promised at the beginning of the war? |
| 42925 | It was a dastardly deed, but what arm had yet compassed the lawless frontier? |
| 42925 | Judith, did you say? |
| 42925 | Kentucky, even Pittsburg, looked for an immediate savage inundation,--for was not all that misty West full of warriors? |
| 42925 | Louis?" |
| 42925 | May I inquire whence you come?" |
| 42925 | Must Kentucky lie still and be scalped?" |
| 42925 | Now what can be done?" |
| 42925 | Of all men in the world why should Meriwether Lewis commit suicide? |
| 42925 | Paint my pictur''?" |
| 42925 | Patterick Hennery? |
| 42925 | Pierre Cruzatte was near- sighted and one- eyed, but what of that? |
| 42925 | Pittsburg? |
| 42925 | See it boil and roll?" |
| 42925 | Shall I, a private individual?" |
| 42925 | Shall we hearken to their teaching?" |
| 42925 | Should that dismay a trader?" |
| 42925 | Starving did you say? |
| 42925 | That same old yarn to frighten the people? |
| 42925 | The Indian? |
| 42925 | The Sioux? |
| 42925 | The Virginians? |
| 42925 | The battle of Point Pleasant? |
| 42925 | The frontiersman? |
| 42925 | The owl inquired,"Who? |
| 42925 | The scintillating blue eyes burned with an inward light, emitting fire, as Patrick Henry leaned to inquire,"What would you do in case of a repulse?" |
| 42925 | The young commandant read and bowed his head,--was it a moment of irresolution? |
| 42925 | Then turning to his brother,"Do you remember Pierre Drouillard, the Frenchman that saved Kenton? |
| 42925 | Then what bulwark will you have to shield you from the savages? |
| 42925 | They were pleased to hear of your safe return...."As to Napoleon... the news of his having abdicated the throne--""Napoleon abdicated?" |
| 42925 | To the sources of the Mississippi? |
| 42925 | Twenty- five years must we be cut off when the Wilderness Road is thronged with packtrains, when the Ohio is black with flatboats? |
| 42925 | Twenty- five years when our grain is rotting? |
| 42925 | Two bobs and a flirt in the dirty Missouri?" |
| 42925 | Very often the Captains caught themselves asking:"Charboneau, when will dinner be ready?" |
| 42925 | Wabasha, the Sioux, and Matchekewis--""How do you know?" |
| 42925 | Wapato?" |
| 42925 | Was Jefferson thinking of those days when George Rogers Clark gave drafts on New Orleans for the conquest of Illinois? |
| 42925 | Was he killed by the Indians, or was he drowned? |
| 42925 | Was it a beginning of that strange new malady that by the next Spring had grown into a devouring plague,--the dreaded Asiatic cholera? |
| 42925 | Was it because he bore the name of Clark? |
| 42925 | Was not France our friend in the time of trouble?" |
| 42925 | Was that the woodpecker? |
| 42925 | Weeks before, when the land was ringing with his valour, the President had congratulated him and asked,"Do you remember me?" |
| 42925 | Well, where have you been? |
| 42925 | Were they not next- door neighbours, hobnobbing over the fence as it were? |
| 42925 | What Governor before ever lost his head on such a charge? |
| 42925 | What are your defences?" |
| 42925 | What arrangement did you make with the Foxes about boundaries?" |
| 42925 | What did the Governor do? |
| 42925 | What did they trade at the Saskatchewan? |
| 42925 | What does the Governor mean? |
| 42925 | What does this mean?" |
| 42925 | What had happened? |
| 42925 | What has Congress? |
| 42925 | What hope with a foreign nation at our gates? |
| 42925 | What if he had won Rebecca? |
| 42925 | What little bird whispered"Oregon"in Carver''s ear? |
| 42925 | What news?" |
| 42925 | What shall we have left?" |
| 42925 | What was he saying? |
| 42925 | What was he trying to do? |
| 42925 | What?" |
| 42925 | What?" |
| 42925 | When before had Wabasha stood? |
| 42925 | When was it new?" |
| 42925 | Where are those promises you made? |
| 42925 | Where are you going?" |
| 42925 | Where do they think we are going to pen our people? |
| 42925 | Where do they think we are going to ship our produce? |
| 42925 | Where have you been? |
| 42925 | Where is the Governor?" |
| 42925 | Where lay that line? |
| 42925 | Where was Joshua Grinder? |
| 42925 | Where was Neely himself? |
| 42925 | Where were those servants? |
| 42925 | Which was preferable, the tyranny of kings or the Indian firestake? |
| 42925 | Who better than Clark knew the border and the Indian? |
| 42925 | Who but chiefs should visit there? |
| 42925 | Who can tell? |
| 42925 | Who could say at what hour the waters would resound with their whoops? |
| 42925 | Who has told it? |
| 42925 | Who is right and who is wrong? |
| 42925 | Who is there to mourn for Logan? |
| 42925 | Who knows what Clark would have called warm weather in February? |
| 42925 | Who knows what fortune may do for you?" |
| 42925 | Who shall refuse us? |
| 42925 | Who shall relieve our distresses?" |
| 42925 | Who then shall pay it but Congress? |
| 42925 | Who? |
| 42925 | Who?" |
| 42925 | Why, instead of peaceably following the game and providing for your families, do you send out war parties to destroy each other? |
| 42925 | Why, of all that army, had Wayne chosen the young lieutenant of the Fourth Sub- Legion for this errand? |
| 42925 | Will Americans endure that? |
| 42925 | Will Black Hawk apply that spark? |
| 42925 | Will these presents pay for the men we lost? |
| 42925 | Will you march with us on New Orleans?" |
| 42925 | Will you not command of both side de river? |
| 42925 | Will_ they_ find the Shining Mountains and the River of the West? |
| 42925 | With an armed boat?" |
| 42925 | Would Canada now be a peaceful sister of the States? |
| 42925 | Would he be apt to let the United States get ahead of him? |
| 42925 | Would he survive a winter among the Blackfeet? |
| 42925 | Would they not act as a barrier to tribes more remote? |
| 42925 | XI_ A PRISONER OF WAR_"A prisoner of war? |
| 42925 | are ye going to run aff and leave me all to mesilf?" |
| 42925 | bought the Mississippi? |
| 42925 | bought the entire boundless West?" |
| 42925 | going to war?" |
| 42925 | he cried,"and be the divil, will yez try to make sport of mesilf?" |
| 42925 | still hope to conquer America? |
| 42925 | who cud tek cah o''Mars Clahk so well as old Yawk?" |
| 30298 | ''Twas me hailed yez, and what of it? |
| 30298 | A coward? 30298 A summons? |
| 30298 | Am I so engaged in affairs that I can not see the obvious, my dear? |
| 30298 | An officer, did ye say? |
| 30298 | And did I, Mr. Jefferson? 30298 And how did Arcturus perform for you this morning?" |
| 30298 | And no man has come into the camp from below-- no horseman? |
| 30298 | And so Captain Lewis is going to have his way as usual? 30298 And what have you found?" |
| 30298 | And what of that, my son? 30298 And what of you, Governor?" |
| 30298 | And what then? |
| 30298 | And why not? 30298 And why not?" |
| 30298 | And yet you try to evade the truth? 30298 And you are done your ride?" |
| 30298 | And you did not fear for me, then-- gone overnight in the woods? |
| 30298 | And you did that? 30298 And you followed me? |
| 30298 | And you say you will not relinquish me, you will not let me go to that fate which surely is mine? 30298 And you waited-- so long?" |
| 30298 | And your powder? |
| 30298 | Are you still carrying all the weight of the entire world? |
| 30298 | Are you sure, Governor, that your strength is sufficient? |
| 30298 | Are your men ready, your supplies gathered together? |
| 30298 | As I thought, Will,said Lewis, nodding; and again, to the Indian girl:"Do you remember this place?" |
| 30298 | As long as I can? |
| 30298 | As you say, your case is hopeless? |
| 30298 | Beaver? |
| 30298 | But shall I let that stain rest on his name? |
| 30298 | But what then? 30298 But why have you come? |
| 30298 | But you will-- you will come back again? |
| 30298 | But your husband is not here? 30298 But,"she still expostulated, looking up at him,"how can you cook? |
| 30298 | But--_suppose he does not know_? |
| 30298 | Can you fancy what all this means to me? |
| 30298 | Can you then call it good fortune? |
| 30298 | Capt''in,she said one day,"what for you no laff? |
| 30298 | Captain,began the victim,"what do you mean? |
| 30298 | Captain,inquired Chouteau at length,"your luggage, your boxes-- where are they?" |
| 30298 | Certainly you carried it for me-- why did you not bring it to me long ago? |
| 30298 | Come back-- when? |
| 30298 | Coming back to_ you_? 30298 Coming back?" |
| 30298 | Could a few francs transfer all that marvelous country from Spain to France? 30298 Did I know men, then?" |
| 30298 | Did I not say right? 30298 Did he ever speak to you of her?" |
| 30298 | Did you get my letters? |
| 30298 | Did you wish to see me? |
| 30298 | Divide and conquer? |
| 30298 | Divide that unknown country, the West, and how long would this republic endure? |
| 30298 | Do not I love him also? 30298 Do you believe that of me-- and you my father?" |
| 30298 | Do you forget your friends so soon? 30298 Does a woman''s wish mean nothing to you? |
| 30298 | Excuse me, sor, ye are sayin''ye are goin''up the Missouri? 30298 For both of us?" |
| 30298 | Forgotten him? 30298 Gass, Patrick Gass, you said?" |
| 30298 | George,said he to young Shannon,"George, saw ye ever the like of yon? |
| 30298 | Go back? 30298 Go, then, my savage gentleman, and let me----""And let you never see my face again?" |
| 30298 | Going away-- where, then, my friend? |
| 30298 | Guilty as I have been, sinning as I have sinned-- tell me, was I alone in the wrong? 30298 Had I no eyes for what went on at my side this very evening, at Mr. Jefferson''s dinner- table? |
| 30298 | Hand and glove, then, so soon? 30298 Has any boat passed up the river within the last day-- for instance, while we were away at the hunt?" |
| 30298 | Have I not seen it? 30298 He rides always with his rifle across his saddle?" |
| 30298 | He starts tomorrow-- is that sure? |
| 30298 | He told you what? |
| 30298 | Hold with it? 30298 Hold with the theory of Colonel Burr, sir?" |
| 30298 | How can I? 30298 How can we help meeting here in the society of this little town, whose people are like one family? |
| 30298 | How did you know? |
| 30298 | How do you know, mother? 30298 How do you know?" |
| 30298 | How is your salt, Will? |
| 30298 | How long do you suppose his Majesty will endure such slights as they put on us here day by day? 30298 How, then?" |
| 30298 | I have touched you on the raw once more, have n''t I, Merne? |
| 30298 | I march only with destiny, yonder-- do you not see, gentlemen? |
| 30298 | If you can not leave me happiness, can you not at least leave me partial peace of mind? |
| 30298 | Is Shannon here? |
| 30298 | Is it not a beautiful world, Madam? |
| 30298 | Is it so? |
| 30298 | Is not my father also? 30298 Is that the reason?" |
| 30298 | Just what do you mean? |
| 30298 | Listen-- tell me, Will, why did you do this? |
| 30298 | Loaded, I presume-- and his pistols? |
| 30298 | Madam,he inquired,"could you entertain me and my party for the night? |
| 30298 | Make down my bed for me-- I am ill. And tell me, where is my powder? 30298 Mebbe we could n''t, eh? |
| 30298 | Mr. Jefferson, how is he? |
| 30298 | Mr. Jefferson,ventured he,"you will pardon me----""Yes, my son?" |
| 30298 | My heart-- did I say that I had need of another, a better? 30298 My matches-- my thermometers-- my instruments-- how did they perform?" |
| 30298 | No? 30298 Perhaps, my dear,"said he at last,"you come regarding Captain Lewis?" |
| 30298 | Plans? 30298 Purchase? |
| 30298 | Saw you ever such nights, Merne, in all your life? 30298 Say you so?" |
| 30298 | Shall I fetch your coat? |
| 30298 | Shall I fire on yez to make yez answer a civil question? 30298 Shall we cast off?" |
| 30298 | She is at Richmond, Merne? |
| 30298 | So you are ready, Captain Lewis? |
| 30298 | Some game? |
| 30298 | Suppose, under coercion, our sovereign did cede it to Napoleon, who claims it now? 30298 Tell me"--he lifted his own reins now to proceed--"you saw nothing of my daughter, Mrs. Alston? |
| 30298 | Tell me, Merne, what are you thinking of? 30298 Tell me, can we get beyond the Mississippi this fall, do you think?" |
| 30298 | That is to say, you know him well? |
| 30298 | The beaver-- did you find the beaver yonder? |
| 30298 | Then what do you mean by saying something about the way of a woman with a man? |
| 30298 | Then you mean that you will go on? |
| 30298 | There is some mighty Hand that seems to guide us-- is it not the truth? |
| 30298 | There would be prospects for him? |
| 30298 | Think you that I have won? |
| 30298 | Think you that I would ask of you anything to my own dishonor, or to your dishonor? 30298 Think you that I would have come here for any other man?" |
| 30298 | This republic, what is it? 30298 Torment you, sir?" |
| 30298 | Treachery? 30298 Treasure?" |
| 30298 | Tut, tut, Merne-- moralizing again? |
| 30298 | We are going to start? |
| 30298 | We''ll be off at sunup? |
| 30298 | Well, what of that? 30298 What Great Father is that?" |
| 30298 | What are you doing here? |
| 30298 | What are you saying? 30298 What benefit, indeed, to me? |
| 30298 | What can I do, father? |
| 30298 | What changed you? |
| 30298 | What did he say? |
| 30298 | What did she promise you? |
| 30298 | What do you mean, Colonel Burr? |
| 30298 | What do you mean, Merne? 30298 What do you mean, Theodosia? |
| 30298 | What do you mean? 30298 What do you mean?" |
| 30298 | What halted the cause of Colonel Burr here in the West? 30298 What have I done? |
| 30298 | What have I done? |
| 30298 | What have I done? |
| 30298 | What is it, Captain? |
| 30298 | What is it, Captain? |
| 30298 | What is it, Cruzatte? |
| 30298 | What is it, Merne? 30298 What is it, Merne?" |
| 30298 | What is it, Merne? |
| 30298 | What is it, Theodosia? |
| 30298 | What is it, boy? |
| 30298 | What is it, father-- are you ill? |
| 30298 | What is it, my son? |
| 30298 | What is it, sir? |
| 30298 | What is it, then, your excellency? |
| 30298 | What is it? |
| 30298 | What is it? |
| 30298 | What is that you''re saying? |
| 30298 | What is the matter with you, Merne? |
| 30298 | What is wrong with the Governor, think you? |
| 30298 | What letter? 30298 What river is this which goes on to the left?" |
| 30298 | What shall you do? 30298 What sort of men have you in your party, Merne?" |
| 30298 | What treasure? 30298 What woman, father?" |
| 30298 | What''s wrong, Merne? |
| 30298 | What, is it, George? |
| 30298 | What, then? |
| 30298 | What? 30298 What? |
| 30298 | What? 30298 What?" |
| 30298 | When are you coming back to me, Merne? |
| 30298 | When could we learn? |
| 30298 | When was all this? |
| 30298 | Where is he? |
| 30298 | Where, then, could we meet after this is over? |
| 30298 | Which is the river? 30298 Which is the roight river, then?" |
| 30298 | Which way, Captain Lewis-- upstream or down? |
| 30298 | Which way, Sacajawea? |
| 30298 | Which way, Sacajawea? |
| 30298 | Which way, Will? |
| 30298 | Who brought it? |
| 30298 | Who calls there? 30298 Who goes there?" |
| 30298 | Who hailed us? |
| 30298 | Who is she, Henry? |
| 30298 | Who shall make the fire? 30298 Whom had he ever harmed?" |
| 30298 | Why are you here? 30298 Why are you here?" |
| 30298 | Why did Colonel Burr hesitate, why did he give up his plans here-- why, indeed, did he fail? 30298 Why did I do what? |
| 30298 | Why did you come thus, unattended? 30298 Why did you kill it, Cruzatte?" |
| 30298 | Why do you give it to me now, boy? |
| 30298 | Why do you think----"Am I not your leader? 30298 Why is it that you always come to torment me the more? |
| 30298 | Why might we not walk down with you to the wharf, if you are so soon to go? |
| 30298 | Why must you see him? |
| 30298 | Why not enlist with us? 30298 Why not, Merne?" |
| 30298 | Why not, then? |
| 30298 | Why should I not know? |
| 30298 | Why should she not? 30298 Why should the spring grudge a draft to a soul aflame with an undying thirst? |
| 30298 | Why should we not go also? |
| 30298 | Why? 30298 Will Spain fight?" |
| 30298 | Will,said he at length,"do n''t you recall what I was telling you this very morning? |
| 30298 | Wo n''t you take my hand, Merne? |
| 30298 | Wo n''t you? |
| 30298 | Would Spain fight-- and would Great Britain, if need were and the time came? |
| 30298 | Would you match them for me in the East? 30298 Yes, Sergeant Ordway?" |
| 30298 | Yes, but are you happy? 30298 Yes, my son?" |
| 30298 | Yes? 30298 You also have caught the secret of this climate, eh? |
| 30298 | You can speak thus with me? |
| 30298 | You do n''t mean that we should return? |
| 30298 | You found the sea? 30298 You give me no long shrift, mother?" |
| 30298 | You have been with the colors? 30298 You hear that, Merne?" |
| 30298 | You know him, then? |
| 30298 | You left him well? |
| 30298 | You promised them a country, Colonel Burr-- from what? |
| 30298 | You refuse, then, Mr. Jefferson? 30298 You say the Tenth?" |
| 30298 | You should be, Merne, but are you? |
| 30298 | You think I will not do? |
| 30298 | You think it aisy to find a way across yonder range? 30298 You will explain more fully, Colonel Burr?" |
| 30298 | You will love, my boy, but with your nature how could love mean happiness to you? 30298 You will see him in the morning?" |
| 30298 | You-- give your presence to one who is now a social pariah? 30298 Your Excellency plans to go by land, then, and not by sea?" |
| 30298 | Your brother, General Clark, how is he? |
| 30298 | Your burden is grievous hard, and yet----"Yes, my son? |
| 30298 | Your men, will they be free to make return up the river with trading parties? |
| 30298 | _ All bridges burned?_The deep voice of Aaron Burr almost trembled. |
| 30298 | _ Letters?_said he at length. |
| 30298 | _ What letters?_Her eyes looked up at him luminously. |
| 30298 | ''Tis a monstrous good likeness, they tell me; but would you not rather it were myself? |
| 30298 | ''Twas a fair New York maid, was it not? |
| 30298 | ***** What of Theodosia Alston, loyal and lofty soul, blameless wife, devoted and pathetic adherent to the fallen fortunes of her ill- starred father? |
| 30298 | A statue to her? |
| 30298 | A torment? |
| 30298 | Across what wide prairies did you come-- among what hills-- through what vast forests? |
| 30298 | After a time the President went on gently:"My dear, would you wish him to come back-- would you condemn him further to the tortures of the damned? |
| 30298 | After all, what is life? |
| 30298 | Against that, what could he measure? |
| 30298 | Agree with him? |
| 30298 | Ah, did he not see it now? |
| 30298 | Ah, you can not tell? |
| 30298 | Am I not Meriwether, too?" |
| 30298 | Am I not your mother, and therefore a woman? |
| 30298 | And as for you? |
| 30298 | And can we talk freely as such among ourselves?" |
| 30298 | And did he?" |
| 30298 | And do we not know, my daughter, who that woman is?" |
| 30298 | And how d''ye know jist how the Alleghanies was crossed first? |
| 30298 | And she-- what had been her perils? |
| 30298 | And should a woman complain? |
| 30298 | And what for me? |
| 30298 | And where is my rifle- powder? |
| 30298 | And why not? |
| 30298 | And why send you?" |
| 30298 | And why should she not ride with a gallant at sunrise for an early cup of coffee, egad?" |
| 30298 | And would you halt him while he is trying to do his duty as a man and a soldier? |
| 30298 | And you call me by that name? |
| 30298 | And you will not hear new evidence?" |
| 30298 | And you would do that-- you would take that chance?" |
| 30298 | Are all the men on the roll tonight?" |
| 30298 | Are any of your men able to strike the eye of a deer, the head of a grouse, at fifty paces with the rifle? |
| 30298 | Are my words good in your ears?" |
| 30298 | Are other faces of women in your mind? |
| 30298 | Are the men ready? |
| 30298 | Are the winds keen and biting? |
| 30298 | Are they so much to you as you thought they would be? |
| 30298 | Are we such men, gentlemen? |
| 30298 | Are you alone, aloof, deserted, perhaps suffering, with none to comfort you? |
| 30298 | Are you among the Gauls, the Goths, the Visigoths, the Huns, the Vandals, or the Cimbri? |
| 30298 | Are you cold and hungry? |
| 30298 | Are you in rags as you read this? |
| 30298 | Are you in the mountains? |
| 30298 | Are you mad?" |
| 30298 | Are you my enemy, too? |
| 30298 | Are you on the prairie still, Meriwether Lewis? |
| 30298 | Are you ready to start?" |
| 30298 | Are you ready, Captain Lewis? |
| 30298 | Are you warm? |
| 30298 | Are you well fed? |
| 30298 | Arguing, justifying, defending? |
| 30298 | At what time are you going to turn back and come to us once more? |
| 30298 | Breathed you ever such air as these plains carry in the nighttime? |
| 30298 | But Spain still rules the South, just as Britain rules the middle country out beyond; and what is left? |
| 30298 | But after that?" |
| 30298 | But how? |
| 30298 | But if you came with me to my villages, women would say,''Who is that woman there? |
| 30298 | But in what way could this effect our friend, Captain Lewis? |
| 30298 | But now tell me, boy, what can I do for you-- what can I ever do for you?" |
| 30298 | But now-- you know our other new interpreter, the sullen chap, Charbonneau-- that polygamous scamp with two or three Indian wives?" |
| 30298 | But suppose all the world were set to wondering? |
| 30298 | But tell me, Merne, can you not tear her from your soul? |
| 30298 | But tell me, what would make you most happy now, of these things remaining? |
| 30298 | But then, you said, you come to me about him?" |
| 30298 | But to what end-- what is the purpose of all this? |
| 30298 | But to what purpose?" |
| 30298 | But what then?" |
| 30298 | But what were you saying now?" |
| 30298 | But where is Sacajawea?" |
| 30298 | But why did not his laugh sound high like that of his friend? |
| 30298 | But why-- why? |
| 30298 | But will you stay there? |
| 30298 | But you have heard the last news regarding him?" |
| 30298 | But you-- how can you be content to punish yourself for so long? |
| 30298 | But, seriously, why take life so hard, Merne? |
| 30298 | But, that being so beautiful, ought I to allow you to turn it to ruin? |
| 30298 | Buy land? |
| 30298 | By what possible title could that region yonder ever come to this republic? |
| 30298 | CHAPTER VI WHICH WAY? |
| 30298 | CHAPTER XII WHAT VOICE HAD CALLED? |
| 30298 | Ca n''t I ask a place in a good man''s heart-- an innocent, clean place? |
| 30298 | Ca n''t the Governor of the new Territory wear a coat that shows his own quality? |
| 30298 | Can I forgive you? |
| 30298 | Can I not see your life-- all your life-- as plainly as if it were written? |
| 30298 | Can you begin to see what responsibility rested on you? |
| 30298 | Can you do what we can? |
| 30298 | Can you forget that time-- can you forget what you said? |
| 30298 | Can you get an extra man or two? |
| 30298 | Can you make him out, Drouillard?" |
| 30298 | Can you make the thunder come? |
| 30298 | Can you not hear me now, calling to you across all the distances to come back to me? |
| 30298 | Can you see me, Meriwether Lewis, your childhood friend? |
| 30298 | Captain Meriwether Lewis, will you stand up for a moment? |
| 30298 | Come what may, no matter what power shall move you, you will be faithful in this great trust? |
| 30298 | Could I fail to observe his look to you-- and, yes, am I not sensible to what your eyes said to him in reply?" |
| 30298 | Could I save him from himself-- and from myself?" |
| 30298 | Dead? |
| 30298 | Did I say I had need of courage and resolution-- all these things combined? |
| 30298 | Did I say that I had need of eyes and brains, of thews and sinews, of calm nerves and steady blood? |
| 30298 | Did any eye see Meriwether Lewis as he sat there in the dark at his last camp fire? |
| 30298 | Did any guilty eye look on him making his last fight? |
| 30298 | Did ever a wandering flake of ashes, melting, rest on its bosom for so great a journey as that toward the sea? |
| 30298 | Did he turn back? |
| 30298 | Did it carry a scattered drop of a man''s lifeblood, little by little thinning, thinning on its long journey? |
| 30298 | Did she-- not wait?" |
| 30298 | Did the little brook in Tennessee ever find its way down to the sea? |
| 30298 | Did the sound of a voice in the wilderness, passing across the unknown leagues, ever reach an ear that heard? |
| 30298 | Did they make it the first toime they thried? |
| 30298 | Did you think that this country could do that for either of us?" |
| 30298 | Do I make you suffer by looking at you with reproach in my eyes-- as I do now? |
| 30298 | Do I not know you, then? |
| 30298 | Do I not know-- your mother? |
| 30298 | Do I not know? |
| 30298 | Do we not collect the revenues? |
| 30298 | Do you begin to see?" |
| 30298 | Do you blame me now?" |
| 30298 | Do you call that leadership, Captain Lewis? |
| 30298 | Do you forget that promise? |
| 30298 | Do you hear?" |
| 30298 | Do you not remember?" |
| 30298 | Do you see me now? |
| 30298 | Do you suppose I did not know whose they were?" |
| 30298 | Do you think I am sincere?" |
| 30298 | Do you think I speak only in despair, my boy? |
| 30298 | Do you think I would ask this for myself? |
| 30298 | Do you think that an officer of the army has no better business than that? |
| 30298 | Do you think this is not hard for me also?" |
| 30298 | Do you understand?" |
| 30298 | Do you want to be drummed out of camp tomorrow morning? |
| 30298 | Do you want to be shot? |
| 30298 | Do you want to be whipped? |
| 30298 | Do you want to go part way with us? |
| 30298 | Do you wish to leave me still feeling that I am in your debt? |
| 30298 | Do you wish to make yet happier the woman whom you have so many times made happy-- who has cherished so much ambition for you? |
| 30298 | Does Spain not govern it still? |
| 30298 | Does a man never forget? |
| 30298 | Does every girl dream of a continuous courtship and find a dull answer in the facts? |
| 30298 | Does n''t a man have two lungs, two arms, two limbs, two eyes? |
| 30298 | Does n''t he marry the one at hand-- the one that is ready and waiting? |
| 30298 | Does not your duty lie toward the east, and not further toward the west? |
| 30298 | Does something take mine to you, across all the wilderness, across all the miles, across all the long and bitter months? |
| 30298 | Does the snow lie deep? |
| 30298 | Doubtless you have important papers?" |
| 30298 | Duty? |
| 30298 | Failed? |
| 30298 | From whom?" |
| 30298 | Go back to her-- how could he, now? |
| 30298 | Go on, therefore, if you would ruin me, my father-- your own future; but will you go on if you face possible ruin_ for your own country_ by so doing? |
| 30298 | Had it taught him to forget? |
| 30298 | Had the hardships of the wilderness at last taken their toll of him-- as had sometimes happened to other men? |
| 30298 | Happiness? |
| 30298 | Have I no appeal for you?" |
| 30298 | Have n''t I told you to be more careful about these things? |
| 30298 | Have not your ears been deaf to me, even when I spoke to you direct? |
| 30298 | Have not your eyes thus far been blind to me? |
| 30298 | Have they lost themselves as women''s faces so often-- so soon-- are lost from a man''s mind? |
| 30298 | Have you bodily comforts? |
| 30298 | Have you found that lonely grave which is sometimes the reward of the adventurer thither? |
| 30298 | Have you found the dinosaur or the dragon or the great serpents of a foregone day? |
| 30298 | Have you found the great unicorn or the mammoth or the mastadon which Mr. Jefferson said you were likely to meet? |
| 30298 | Have you grown savage, my friend-- have you come to be just a man like the others? |
| 30298 | Have you horses for the journey?" |
| 30298 | Have you no arts of the toilet that can overcome the story of your megrims? |
| 30298 | Have you not heard me? |
| 30298 | Have you physical well- being? |
| 30298 | He sought to disrupt this country? |
| 30298 | Heavy, eh?" |
| 30298 | How can I answer all these questions? |
| 30298 | How can I repay you for what you have done today? |
| 30298 | How can we women read their hearts-- what do we know of men? |
| 30298 | How can you make the lodge? |
| 30298 | How can you mind my garrulous pen-- my vain pen-- my wicked, wicked, wicked, shameful pen-- since you can not see what it says? |
| 30298 | How could I-- how can I-- with this terrible thought in my soul that I am writing to a man whose eyes can not see, whose ears can not hear? |
| 30298 | How could that be?" |
| 30298 | How could they tell of it? |
| 30298 | How had they reached him? |
| 30298 | How long will it be before you come back to higher office and higher place? |
| 30298 | How long, great river, was your journey, sufficient to afford so tremendous a gathering of the waters? |
| 30298 | How many air there in your party?" |
| 30298 | How many thousands of hours will it take to ascend to the mountains? |
| 30298 | How many you''ll shot, Captain?" |
| 30298 | How often does a woman ever confess her own, her inner and real heart? |
| 30298 | How will you get your boats across the mountains? |
| 30298 | I can but guess how or where these presents may find you; for how shall I know how wise or how faithful my messenger has been? |
| 30298 | I do n''t want you to go away, Merne, but if you do-- if you must-- won''t you come back? |
| 30298 | I have lost you, then, it seems? |
| 30298 | I may be dead as you read-- would you care? |
| 30298 | If I knew as absolute truth that conviction now in my heart-- that you never can come back-- how then could I go on? |
| 30298 | If he laid that wish on us, ought we not to respect it? |
| 30298 | If so, do you sleep well? |
| 30298 | If the Great Father has such medicine as this I give you, do you think we could go back to him and say the Sioux would not let us pass? |
| 30298 | If we have failed, why did we fail? |
| 30298 | If we succeed, what then?" |
| 30298 | If ye said it where he could hear ye-- that man ahead-- do you know what he would do to you?" |
| 30298 | If you go yonder, what will be the fate of Meriwether Lewis? |
| 30298 | In these unsettled times, who knows what may happen? |
| 30298 | In two days, or four, or six? |
| 30298 | In what labor was the President of the United States engaged on this particularly eventful day? |
| 30298 | In what region grew this great pine which swims with you to the sea? |
| 30298 | Is all the world''s misery yours? |
| 30298 | Is he alone?" |
| 30298 | Is it always to remain with you? |
| 30298 | Is it not four in the afternoon?" |
| 30298 | Is it not my business to know? |
| 30298 | Is it not so?" |
| 30298 | Is it not so?" |
| 30298 | Is it not true? |
| 30298 | Is it not true? |
| 30298 | Is it winter? |
| 30298 | Is my recompense to be only your assertion that I torment you, that I torture you? |
| 30298 | Is n''t it enough to be astronomer and doctor and bookkeeper and record- keeper and all that? |
| 30298 | Is not the whole system of law enforced under the flag of Spain, all along the great river yonder? |
| 30298 | Is the taste of all your triumphs so sweet as you have dreamed, Meriwether Lewis? |
| 30298 | Is there any among you who has a black skin, like the man with us? |
| 30298 | Is there any news?" |
| 30298 | Is there anything I can do? |
| 30298 | Is there anything in all this talk I have heard about Colonel Burr? |
| 30298 | Is there no house near by? |
| 30298 | Is there no reward for that? |
| 30298 | Is there no torture for me as well? |
| 30298 | Is there none in a man''s-- in yours-- for me? |
| 30298 | Is this not Eden? |
| 30298 | Is this the placing his Majesty''s minister should have at the President''s table? |
| 30298 | Is this what we should demand here?" |
| 30298 | It draws you, does it not?" |
| 30298 | It is not that woman?" |
| 30298 | It is your right to believe that he and I were-- that is to say, we might have been-- ah, sir, how can I speak?" |
| 30298 | It was for him, yes-- but whence had it come? |
| 30298 | Jefferson?" |
| 30298 | Jefferson?----""You surely have heard that my administration is in sad disrepute? |
| 30298 | Livingston, Monroe, and the others-- what are they doing with Napoleon Bonaparte? |
| 30298 | Look here, my man, do you want to serve?" |
| 30298 | Love? |
| 30298 | Major Neely, would you be so kind as to join the men and assure them of bringing on the horses?" |
| 30298 | May I give you a cup of coffee there?" |
| 30298 | May not we shield him-- and her-- no matter what the cost to us? |
| 30298 | Merne, was_ that_ why the wilderness called to you? |
| 30298 | Merne, what is wrong?" |
| 30298 | Minister?" |
| 30298 | My boy has done all that? |
| 30298 | My son kill himself? |
| 30298 | No, he had delayed, he had gone on, and he had cost her-- what? |
| 30298 | No, why buy it, when taking it was so much more simple and delightful? |
| 30298 | Of course, I know you do n''t practise what you preach-- who does?" |
| 30298 | Oh, I know-- I know, but why should you meet?" |
| 30298 | Oh, Merne-- may I not call you Merne once more before I let you go?" |
| 30298 | Oh, Theo, what have I done?" |
| 30298 | Oh, wo n''t you, Merne?" |
| 30298 | Only the question is, at what sacrifice, through what appeal to his chivalry, can his assistance be carried to us?" |
| 30298 | Papers, perhaps-- bills-- documents-- money? |
| 30298 | Perhaps, however, you do not hold with the theory of Colonel Burr?" |
| 30298 | Sacajawea, what of her? |
| 30298 | Shall I get you some sort of bitter herbs? |
| 30298 | Shall I let you go down in savagery? |
| 30298 | Shall I, his friend and his chief, halt him at such a time? |
| 30298 | Shall I, then, who have been his scholar and his friend?" |
| 30298 | Shall you condemn him, or shall you rescue him? |
| 30298 | She might have a second cup of your good coffee?" |
| 30298 | Should I complain? |
| 30298 | Should I not now be happy?" |
| 30298 | Should one ally one''s self with a foredoomed failure? |
| 30298 | Should you call that a torment? |
| 30298 | Should you call the flowers that change in sweetness as we ride along through the wood a torment? |
| 30298 | Some face, eh? |
| 30298 | Something there-- yes, eh?" |
| 30298 | Sor, I ask yer pardon--''twas only the whisky made me feel sportin''like at the time, do ye mind?" |
| 30298 | Still, what difference, whether or not you be living? |
| 30298 | Suppose we join you there?" |
| 30298 | Suppose we leave it to my daughter to fashion her own campaign? |
| 30298 | Suppose, my dear madam, there were a woman concerned in this matter?" |
| 30298 | Tell me, did you know this when you came to me?" |
| 30298 | Tell me, do you see me now before you? |
| 30298 | Tell me, do you think there was but one woman made for each of us men in all the world? |
| 30298 | Tell me, have you heard anything of Colonel Burr''s plan? |
| 30298 | Tell me, how about that old affair of which you once used to confide to me when we were soldiering together here, years back? |
| 30298 | Tell me, is he bound down the river? |
| 30298 | Tell me, why is it that I think of you lying where the wind is sweet in the trees? |
| 30298 | Tell me, why is it that in the glimpses the sages give us of paradise they no more than lift the curtain-- and let it fall again?" |
| 30298 | Tell me-- and believe that I am not blind-- is not Captain Lewis going into the Missouri country in order to forget a certain woman? |
| 30298 | The servants paid no attention to the shots, if they had heard them-- and why should they not have heard them? |
| 30298 | The thought that I have done this covertly, secretly-- what do you think that costs me?" |
| 30298 | Then there is another?" |
| 30298 | There was to have been a dinner, was there not-- or am I mistaken of the hour? |
| 30298 | There-- have I not said all that a woman could say to a man, living or dead? |
| 30298 | They both love you-- do I not know?" |
| 30298 | They sent me----""They? |
| 30298 | This wilderness which you love, the wilderness to which you fled for your comfort-- what has it done for you? |
| 30298 | To her he was-- what? |
| 30298 | To the contrary, shall I allow you to hasten into the usual ruin of a man? |
| 30298 | To what end, my friend? |
| 30298 | To whom shall I present the greetings of his British Majesty?" |
| 30298 | Tomorrow? |
| 30298 | Torment you? |
| 30298 | Vows? |
| 30298 | WHAT VOICE HAD CALLED? |
| 30298 | WHICH WAY? |
| 30298 | Was I wrong?" |
| 30298 | Was Meriwether Lewis indeed gone mad? |
| 30298 | Was ever thinking woman who could doubt what a strong man would do? |
| 30298 | Was it Gass, Cruzatte, Drouillard, Reuben Fields, or McNeal? |
| 30298 | Was it a uniform, do you believe? |
| 30298 | Was it any wonder that they stood now, grave and dignified, feeling almost for the first time the weight of what they had done? |
| 30298 | Was it in defiance or in compliance that this act was done? |
| 30298 | Was it not true what she had said? |
| 30298 | Was not he, who had forgotten honor, subject now to any command that she might give him? |
| 30298 | We believe, or try to believe, or say that we believe; but always----""And a woman may divide not love, only love of love itself?" |
| 30298 | We could not afford to wait months-- three months, four, six-- has it been so long as that since you left us? |
| 30298 | We missed her at the house, and have feared her abduction by some bold young Virginian, eh?" |
| 30298 | Were that not a wiser thing? |
| 30298 | Were there, after all, those great Stony Mountains of which men told fables? |
