10087Abe,"he tapped the old man''s knee again,"dew yew know what yew need?
10087Abraham limped from the couch to the door himself, and called after him:"Sam''l, do n''t yew want tew sleep by the fire?
10087After all, what was there of his and Angy''s here?
10087Ai n''t gittin''sleepy a''ready, are yer?"
10087Ai n''t it jist bewtiful to be rich?

10087At last she said, half between sobbing and laughing:"Oh, Abe, ai n''t God been good to us?
10087But what was this?
10087But what was this?
10087Captain Rose,"turning to Abe as Samuel would do no more than glower at him,"to what do you attribute your good health at your time of life?"
10087Could she possibly mean that he was to establish himself as the head of the household by repeating grace?
10087D''yew remember--?"
10087Did ever a half- mile seem so long, and had he actually been only twenty- three hours from home and Blossy?
10087Did he care for the opposite sex?
10087Did they belong to them or to the new couple to come?
10087Did you enjoy yourself to- day-- no, yesterday?

10087Do yer all think I be a baby?"

10087Do you think I''m a silly old goose to keep them cluttering around so long?"
10087Do you think he has grown much older?
10087Does it need fillin''?"
10087Er be yew afeard of ketchin''it, tew?"
10087Had he lost his hair then?
10087Had they heard aright?
10087Hain''t it splendid?"
10087Hain''t, eh?
10087Haow dew yew feel naow, mate?"
10087Haow yew like''em?
10087Haow''d yew git here?
10087He recalled how he had said to her at that first simple home meal:"Yew do n''t mind bein''poor with me, dew yer, Angy?"
10087He stared at Abe with burning eyes, but Abe only insisted sullenly:"Whar yew an''Blossy been all this time?"
10087How could they be expected to understand?
10087If he had fallen and broken his leg?
10087If old age and the pinch of poverty had failed to conquer their valiant spirit, why should she listen to the croaking tale?
10087Is n''t it a blessing that I never married him?"
10087Lemme see,"the twinkle deepening,"did n''t the gals say yew was a''spectin''somebody ter- day?
10087Let''s see, how many days of this plagued week were left?
10087Miss Ellie wrung her hands,"ca n''t we do somethin''?"
10087Naow, haow many of yew is willin''ter try it?"
10087Not a petticoat in five miles; and I tell you, sometimes we get mad looking at one another, do n''t we, boys?"
10087Ready ter hitch?"
10087Remorselessly went on the rejuvenated Darby:"Hain''t a- goin''ter git up, heh?
10087Rising from his place he besought the sisters:"Yew do n''t think Angy''s feelin''s have been hurt-- dew yew, gals?"
10087Sam''l''s a good pervider; why do n''t yew snap him up ter- day?
10087Say, boys,"looking from one to the other of the old fellows,"so you''re going scootering, eh?
10087See my yaller silk handkerchief, tew?
10087Should she give the old unvarying answer to his tireless formula?
10087Splendid, eh?
10087Suppose that there was something in this?
10087Take it back, did you say?
10087Thar, hain''t that Cap''n Eph a- scootin''in naow?
10087The soil grew more and more barren as the years went by; but still the roses had kept fresh and young, so why, argued Angy, should not she?
10087The three had been sold at auction that day in response to the auctioneer''s inquiry,"What am I bid for the lot?"
10087Then there came murmurs and exclamations, with Miss Abigail''s voice gasping above the others:"What would the directors say?"
10087Touching his hand to his fur cap, he informed Samuel and Abe that news was"as scarce as hens''teeth"; then added:"What''s doing?"
10087Was Samuel to be outdone on his own one- time field of action by an old ladies''darling?
10087Was he very brave-- or would you say more brave than stubborn and contrary?
10087Were n''t yew s''prised tew git the telephone?
10087Wharabouts dew yew cak''late on a- goin''?"
10087What I want is ter ask yew jest one question: Whar, whar on''arth kin we look fer a decent behavin''ole man ef not in a Old Ladies''Hum?
10087What could this continual hobnobbing and going off into corners mean, except-- flirtation?
10087What do you mean by keeping me in bed?"
10087What had happened to her, the undemonstrative old wife?
10087What made her so happy, and yet tremble so?
10087What man would care to read his name between the lines of such a news item as this?
10087What mattered if the chance guest who had just arrived heard him also?
10087What mattered if the sisters gathered in the lower hall heard him?
10087What would Blossy say if she could feel the temperature of the room in which he was supposed to sleep?
10087What would Blossy say if she knew how his back ached?
10087What would she say to this unexpected return?
10087What''d yew come fer?
10087Whatever would Blossy do to Abe Rose if she could suspect how he had tuckered out her"old man?"
10087When I come inter the hall, what dew yew think these here sisters o''yourn was a- discussin''?
10087When had he ever been known to hold wool for Angy''s winding?
10087When''d yew git here?"
10087When, asked the sisters of one another, did Abe ever help any one, save Blossy, shell dried beans or pick over prunes?
10087Why Father and Mother?
10087Why did she cry, wetting his cheek with her tears, when she was so palpably glad?
10087Why had she telephoned for him, unless she, too, had missed him as he had missed her?
10087Why had they brought him here to accept charity of a women''s institution?
10087Why need they thus intensify his sense of shame at his life''s failure, and, above all, at his failure to provide for Angeline?
10087Why on''arth did n''t yer let me go to the poorhouse?"
10087Why, folks have told me that yew ladies-- What yew hittin''my foot fer, Mother?
10087Why,''I says,''what''s the difference between me an''these here women- folks except that I wear a beard an''smoke a pipe?''"
10087Will you excuse me now?"
10087With a sigh from the very cellar of his being, he muttered:"Aye, Mother, why did n''t yew let me go on ter the County House?
10087Wo n''t we make things hum?"
10087Wonder if she had missed him more on account of that neglect?
10087Wonder if she had noticed it?
10087Wonder whar the gals has gone?"
10087Would she laugh at him, or be disappointed?
10087Would she remember to wind the clock on Thursday, and feed the canary, and water the abutilon and begonias reg''lar?
10087Would she think that he was growing childish if he should call her"Dearest"now?
10087Yer a- gwine acrost, hain''t yer, Havens?"
10087Yew''d be in yer grave afore the fust frost; an''who''s a- gwine ter bury yer-- the taown?"
10087she supplemented, after she had finished telling her pitiably brief story,"thar''s trouble ernough ter go''round, hain''t thar?"
10087whereupon Abe, scenting self- sacrifice on his wife''s part, sat up straight and snapped,"Haow so, haow so, Mother?"
42102''Kain''t you hole him?'' 42102 ''What de mattah?''
42102A- a-- how much?
42102Ah got ter clim''dat lilly ladder lak Massa Jacob in de Bibul?

42102And that is, under the present circumstances?
42102Are you all ready?
42102Are you injured?
42102Are you sure?
42102Are you willing to write such a letter?
42102At free miles, Massa Hopkins?
42102Bothered if I know,rejoined Tubby,"it looks kind of mad, does n''t it?
42102Boy Scout, eh?
42102Bullet in mah haid, eh?
42102But as it is, sir?
42102But what about the bullets that were coming out? 42102 But what object can they have in all this except to annoy us?"
42102But what would the canoes be doing drifting about?
42102But, say,he added quickly,"what about that red stain on your shirt?
42102Call that a joke?
42102Could you make out anybody?
42102Did the Indians get it?
42102Do you mean to tell me you saw something, actually?
42102Do you mind stepping aside with me a few minutes, my lad? 42102 Do you think it extends further?"
42102Do you think they mean him harm?
42102Even with your uniform on?
42102Ever hear of a fairy godmother?
42102Fell in?
42102Fell neatly into our little trap, did n''t you?
42102Fo''de lan''s sake what dat gum gophulous racket?
42102For botanical specimens? 42102 For them, too?"
42102Going fishing?
42102Got a bit of wire, Hiram?
42102Got a glass?
42102Got a match, Jumbo?
42102Got any matches?
42102H- h- h- has it gog- g- g- gone?
42102Had n''t we better turn back?
42102Have n''t had enough to- day, eh?
42102He''s responsible, too, in a way, for your safety, is n''t he? 42102 Here, here, what''s all this?"
42102How do you interpret that, professor?
42102How do you like that, eh?
42102How on earth did you discover them, boys?
42102How soon do you think we will be within striking distance of the place?
42102How under the sun did he escape?
42102How''bout you alls?
42102How''s that? 42102 How''s that?"
42102How, my boy?
42102Hullo, Jumbo, is that you?
42102Hullo, Rob; what''s up?
42102Hullo, what''s that off in the water there?
42102I do n''t doubt it,said the major,"who else would be interested in annoying us?
42102I wonder how your ancestor ever located this place?
42102I''d rather have lost the whole boiling than let Black Bart slip through my fingers,bemoaned the leader,"wonder how he did it?"
42102I-- I-- Can you give me time to think it over?
42102If you do recover it?
42102Is she a fast boat?
42102Is there no hope of escape?
42102Is this the police station?
42102Is what there?
42102It was a long distance shooter, eh?
42102It wo n''t, eh? 42102 It would, really, Jumbo?"
42102It''s a long story,responded Rob, in the same cautious tones;"the question is how are we going to get down again?"
42102Kid or no kid,retorted Black Bart, viciously,"he can tell the revenues a story jes''as well as anybody else, ca n''t he?"
42102Kilkenny cats, you mean, do n''t you?
42102Let''s see, it was over this way, was n''t it? 42102 Marse Rob,"said Jumbo, who had been listening intently,"you ebber hyah dat lilly story''bout de man wot caught de wild cat?"
42102Maybe the man of stone is located there,suggested Rob;"it''s worth trying, do n''t you think so, sir?"
42102Money?
42102My liberty?
42102Now what are we going to do?
42102Now, where''s the man of stone?
42102Over this rough ground they could easily outdistance us,he said,"is anyone missing?"
42102Rather anticipating, are n''t you, boys?
42102S''pose I feed yer,was the bearded one''s next question,"kin you pay?
42102Saw what, sir?
42102Say, Hiram,he added anxiously,"you do n''t get seasick easily, do you?"
42102Say, what''s that up yonder-- there, away toward the head of the lake?
42102She might have an engine, might n''t she?
42102T- T- T- Tubby,he exclaimed,"are you badly hurt, old man?"
42102Tell me the truth, you young brat,he snarled;"are the police after us?"
42102They did, eh? 42102 This is even more serious than the theft of the canoes,"exclaimed the professor,"do you suppose that it was Hunt''s gang that took them?"
42102Wa- al, what is it now?
42102Was the man who first inquired about the book a big, bearded man, with sun- burned face and rather shabby clothes?
42102We can swim, ca n''t we?
42102Well, how are we going to get you up?
42102Well, if that is n''t just like Tubby,said Rob;"what in the world is he up to now?"
42102Well, then, do n''t you suppose that if you were scouting after an enemy you''d have to take bigger chances than this?
42102Well, what shall we do? 42102 Well, what''s the matter?"
42102Well?
42102Wha''good dem safety banks, Marse Rob? 42102 Wha''s de mattah, Marse Blake?"
42102Wha''you go fo''ter do now, Marse Blake?
42102What are we going to do?
42102What are we to do now?
42102What are you mumbling about, Jumbo?
42102What can be the matter with it?
42102What can they be up to?
42102What did they say?
42102What do you mean, boy?
42102What do you mean?
42102What do you mean?
42102What do you think it is?
42102What does all this mean?
42102What else can you deduce from what you have seen, Rob?
42102What happened?
42102What is happening?
42102What is that?
42102What kind of a box?
42102What kind uv an April fool joke is this?
42102What makes you think so, my boy?
42102What next?
42102What on earth does this mean?
42102What should you think was the value of all this, professor?
42102What troop?
42102What we gwine ter do, Marse Rob?
42102What were they then-- mud hens?
42102What will their parents say?
42102What will you do with all that money, Jumbo?
42102What you got there, boy?
42102What''s become of Hunt and his outfit?
42102What''s that mass of rock on the cliff top?
42102What''s that uniform?
42102What''s that?
42102What''s too bad?
42102What''s up below?
42102When air you goin''ter do it?
42102When shall we start?
42102When, pray?
42102Where are we?
42102Where can they be going?
42102Where? 42102 Which way?"
42102Who are you?
42102Who is it?
42102Who is that?
42102Who''s that you''re sitting on, nigger?
42102Whoever heard of a rhyme to paddling?
42102Why not?
42102Why, Jumbo, are you superstitious?
42102Why?
42102Wonder if any of that old moonshine is still in the hiding place?
42102Wonder if there were ever Indians through here?
42102Wonder what can have become of Hunt and his crowd?
42102Wonder what that was?
42102Wonder what they are doing up there?
42102Yes, I''ll be with you in a---- Hullo, what''s happening?
42102Yes, but what''s to prevent them leaving there?
42102Yes, yes, Hiram; but did they say anything about escaping themselves?
42102Yes; what of it? 42102 You mean am I willing to stake my safety against the major''s hopes of recovering his relative''s hidden fortune?"
42102You want to regain your freedom and rejoin your friends, do n''t you?
42102You''re sure that kid is off good and sound, too?
42102You-- you have n''t found the wallet?
42102''Bout a munf afterward he done go to draw it out and what you think dat no- good black- trash what run de bank tole him?"
42102''What must I tell him to do if he feels it coming on?''
42102Aloud he said:"Well?"
42102Are you seeing things?"
42102But how?
42102But what are we going to do to help them?
42102But what can he be doing here?"
42102But what is the next step?"
42102But who''s that black fellow?"
42102By the way, Pete, did you ever hear what became of Black Bart and the others after the revenues broke us up?"
42102By the way, how''s the seasickness?"
42102Could they be going to give up so tamely?
42102Did n''t they collide with the ones coming back?"
42102Do n''t you see that chimney on the roof?
42102Do you suppose they''d have let them get away?"
42102Go back and tell the police?"
42102Go back?"
42102Going that way?"
42102Had it found an opening through which to slip into an inlet in the bleak coast, or had it foundered in the wild breakers?
42102Has it been found?"
42102Have You Seen Our Complete Catalogue?
42102Have they escaped us again?"
42102Have you any idea in which direction the camp lies?"
42102He thinks a good deal of you, does n''t he?"
42102How under the canopy did you get up there?"
42102I mean your parents rely on him to bring you back safe and sound?"
42102If that was the case, and the miscreants had all escaped, how did they go?
42102If you looked through that window----""Did I say I was going to look through the window, stupid?
42102Is he engaged in new rascality?"
42102Pray did you find any?"
42102Right under that big hemlock on the top of the cliff?"
42102S''posin''it looks out on one ob dem bottomless pitses lak yo''all near fell inter ter- night?"
42102See that chap just sneaking down the street from the opposite corner?"
42102The canoe ropes joined together would be long and strong enough,"said Rob,"but how could you get them up to us?
42102Then he added gloomily,"but what good is it to us now?
42102They were prisoners, then, at sea, on this mysterious sloop?
42102Was this to be the end of them, to be drowned miserably, like two captive rats?
42102We''d have to camp, would n''t we, Major?"
42102Well, Rob Blake, what''s your story?
42102Wha''dat froo de trees dere?
42102Wha''s de mattah now?"
42102What am dat, fish, flesh or des corned beef?"
42102What are you going to do now?
42102What are you interfering for?"
42102What did you hear, my boy?"
42102What do you advise, then?"
42102What is more delightful than a re- union of college girls after the summer vacation?
42102What on earth for?"
42102What under the sun does this mean?"
42102What would happen when he pulled it?
42102What''s that?"
42102What''s the matter, Jumbo?"
42102What''s the matter?"
42102Where had the manufacturer of the car concealed his emergency brake?
42102Where have you been?"
42102Why would it not be possible to get out of the little and dangerous bay under motor power?
42102Why, do you know him?"
42102Wondah what deportentiousness uv all dis unusualauness done mean?"
42102Wonder what''s become of those two fellows?"
42102Would it work?
42102You say that the rest are in that passage?"
42102asked the down- east boy;"more jokes and didoes?"
42102demanded Dale at length,"is it there?"
42102echoed the boy,"how is that?"
42102ejaculated Tubby;"so they left us to perish on this old sloop, eh?
42102exclaimed the professor,"surely you do n''t contemplate any such unlawful acts, major?"
42102fo''de law''s sake, wha''dat?
42102he demanded;"be you some new- fangled revenue?"
42102he gasped,"what''s all this here?"
42102he roared,"what do you think I am, a sack of potatoes?"
42102inquired that individual cheerfully,"have you lost that voice of yours?"
42102quavered Jumbo,"yo''all hain''t seein''any hants or conjo''s, be yoh?"
42102what''s that?"
12112A bee- yoo- tiful piece of composition,said Hank approvingly, with one of his throaty chuckles;"the only thing is-- who is Captain Nemo?"
12112A hydroplane?--that''s one of those craft that cut along the top of the water like a skimming dish, is n''t it?
12112A storm?
12112And have it ready in a week?
12112And he left before you read the note?
12112And if I do n''t?
12112And what if they do? 12112 Any news of the boat?"
12112Anybody got a mirror?
12112Are yer all right?
12112Are you quite certain that she was not here last night, captain?
12112Are you sure it''s a bit of uniform?
12112Be a little patient, ca n''t you?
12112But what about the old land crab, Sam?
12112But what can have happened to him?
12112But what can he be doing round here at this time of night?
12112But what good does that do us?
12112But where do we come in to get any benefit out of it?
12112Ca n''t we do anything, Merritt?
12112Ca n''t we do something to help them?
12112Ca n''t we shout and make them hear us?
12112Can you match that?
12112Closer and closer,lamented the captain,"what''s the matter with those lubbers?
12112Could you recognize the men who took you if you saw them again?
12112Digby gone?
12112Do n''t I need any medicine?
12112Do you imagine she is badly damaged, captain?
12112Do you know how much I''ve given you in the last two months?
12112Do you think I could get a job on your cousin''s ranch?
12112Do you think so, Bill?
12112Do you think we have any show?
12112Do you think we''ll ever get ashore again?
12112Done what?
12112Douse the engine with oil,directed Rob, as Merritt gave the piece of machinery a final inspection;"and how about that extra set of batteries?"
12112Eh, Bill?
12112Go camping-- where?
12112Good evening, Bill,said Hiram, wondering if his eyes were not playing him some queer tricks;"was n''t that you just went round the corner?"
12112Hank,began the captain,"speak me fair and above board, mate-- who give yer that letter ter bring ter me ter- night?"
12112Happened?
12112Have I clapped deadlights on my optics, or am I gone plumb locoed?
12112Have n''t you got some place where we can talk that is less exposed than this?
12112Have some?
12112Have you explored the island thoroughly?
12112Have you got a model built yet?
12112Have you got a wireless?
12112Have you seen the place?
12112He''s that queer old fellow that lives in a hut away down the beach?
12112Hear''n anything uv them varmints what slipped their moorings on the train?
12112Heard the news about your boat?
12112Here, what''s all this trouble?
12112How about Sam?
12112How did you come to receive it?
12112How ever are we going to break the news to his parents?
12112How long have we got to get ready?
12112How was the young cub when you left him, Hank?
12112Hullo,he added hastily the next moment;"what''s that?"
12112I do n''t know that it''s so bad myself,patronizingly admitted Bill;"but what connection has that with your scheme for getting money, Jack?"
12112I do n''t,said Rob sadly,"but for what possible motive?"
12112I guess that''s a bad scheme, eh?
12112I guess we''re all through up here, Rob, are n''t we?
12112I have it,suddenly exclaimed Tubby Hopkins, snapping his fingers,"you remember the day of the aeroplane model contest?"
12112I presume, commodore, the time was taken?
12112I suppose that water is all right, captain?
12112I suppose the coincidence has struck you fellows, too?
12112I wonder if that fellow Curtiss means to carry out his threat of getting even?
12112I wonder if the Sam Redding can show her stern to the Flying Fish?
12112I wonder if we have been lucky enough to pick up Topsail Island?
12112I wonder if yer boys can give me a lift back if yer goin''near Topsail Island?
12112I wonder what it signifies?
12112I wonder what they came back for?
12112If you knew that, why did n''t you stand by him?
12112Is n''t there any way you can raise the wind?
12112Is she working?
12112Is the coast all clear?
12112Is the house good and tight?
12112Is this a new joke you''re putting up on me?
12112It is n''t possible that he went off on an early fishing expedition?
12112It made about as good a signal, as one could want,responded Rob warmly,"but now tell us about your capture, Joe, how did it happen?"
12112Keep it on the island, you mean?
12112Like they left you out of their patrol, eh?
12112Mean?
12112No, is he, though?
12112No-- what news?
12112No; what about her? 12112 Now look here, Hank,"argued Jack,"what''s the objection?
12112Oh, I am the man, am?
12112Oh, I have, have I?
12112Oh, I''m on the job all right,rejoined Sam, feeling much braver now that the other two had arrived,"have you got them all right?"
12112Oh, it is, is it?
12112Oh, say, Jack, cut it out, wo n''t you?
12112Oh, you''re feeling friendly toward''em, now, are you?
12112Out with it, then,urged the bully,"what is it?"
12112Pshaw, it was just borrowing a little money from the old man, was n''t it?
12112Queer-- how do you mean?
12112Regular pirates?
12112Sam, you''ve got a head like a billiard ball,retorted the bully, turning on the other,"it''ll be mine some day, wo n''t it?
12112Say, Rob, what''s the matter with our fixing up a wireless in the camp? 12112 Say, captain,"he went on,"when do you expect to get off?"
12112Say, do n''t think it personal of me, will you?
12112Say, that''s an awful hike down to Hank''s gilded palace,grumbled Bill,"why did n''t you have Sam wait for us off here?"
12112Say, this is quite a right smart contraption, ai n''t she?
12112Say, what do you fellows take me for, the late lamented Mr. Easy Mark? 12112 Say, you, did you ever hear an eagle scream with his mouth full of bread and jam?"
12112See here, Sam, you can win that race if you get your hydroplane?
12112Seen a rig with Jack Curtiss and Bill Bender in it?
12112Shall we pick them up?
12112Somebody signaling?
12112Suppose Jack Curtiss and his gang are there?
12112Sure,agreed Bill,"you do n''t look at these things in the right light, Sam-- does he, Hank?"
12112Tell me, Merritt,he said,"can you see any other lights?"
12112That sort of throbbing sound?
12112That thar Sam Reddin''boy clar''d himself uv all suspicion, did he?
12112That''s what we want to do, too, is n''t it?
12112That''s what yer are,exclaimed the captain,"how come yer ter be huggin''the shore so hard?"
12112The El Paso from London to New York,came back a hail from somewhere above them in a somewhat surprised tone,"who are you?"
12112The light''s pretty high up, too, is n''t it?
12112There''s more to come, is n''t there, Hiram?
12112They are calling for help?
12112Those their names?
12112Visitors from the shore, captain?
12112Want a tow rope for that old stone dray of yours?
12112We would n''t be in much shape to work at our books to- morrow, eh?
12112Well what did you do to them then?
12112Well, boys, what news?
12112Well, how do you propose to get even by going camping?
12112Well, hurry up, then-- what does it mean?
12112Well, was my boat here at five this mornin''?
12112Well, we are getting plenty of experiences away from the ranch, eh, Harry?
12112Well, well, boys; come ter stay?
12112Well, what are we going to do about it?
12112Well, what do you know about that?
12112Well, what do you think of that? 12112 Well, what''s the next move on the program?"
12112Well, you idiot,began Jack truculently;"have n''t you got your chance now?"
12112Well,demanded the captain,"what is it, a bit of gammon?
12112Well,grinned Hank impudently, with his most malicious chuckle,"if I did, what then?"
12112Whales sound, do n''t they?
12112What are they?
12112What are you calling a dry- goods box?
12112What are you doing spying around the yard here, anyhow?
12112What are you going to do if we lose?
12112What are you going to do?
12112What are you going to do?
12112What are you kicking about?
12112What can have become of him?
12112What can they be doing, do you suppose?
12112What did they do to you?
12112What do they know about aeroplanes?
12112What do you mean?
12112What do you say, boys?
12112What do you suggest?
12112What do you think of that, eh?
12112What do you think of that?
12112What do you think, captain?
12112What have I got to do with your boat? 12112 What in the name of Sam Hill have you hooked?"
12112What is it, my boy? 12112 What is it?
12112What is it?
12112What kind of a joke is this? 12112 What kind of a sound do they make, corporal?"
12112What letter?
12112What on earth are you talking about?
12112What queer kind uv craft is that?
12112What uniforms?
12112What was he doing in the bank?
12112What was it?
12112What was that?
12112What''s she coming in for?
12112What''s that noise off there?
12112What''s the matter with to- morrow night, then?
12112What''s the matter, captain?
12112What''s the matter? 12112 What''s the matter?"
12112What''s the matter?
12112What''s the trouble, captain?
12112What''s to be done now?
12112What''s troubling you?
12112What-- you can work a wireless?
12112Whatever was it?
12112When will we do it, Jack?
12112Where can they be headed for?
12112Where''s Rob and Digby?
12112Where''s that boat, Hank?
12112Where''s them Boy Scouts? 12112 Where''s your boat?"
12112Where?
12112Where?
12112Who do you mean is in distress?
12112Who is it?
12112Who or what is old Silver Tip?
12112Who, me?
12112Whose turn next?
12112Why, what has happened?
12112Why, what''s got into you, Sam?
12112Why, whatever do you mean, captain?
12112Will you be over to- night, Hiram, to talk things over? 12112 Would the gasoline hold out?"
12112Yes; but how are we going to prove it?
12112You can?
12112You can?
12112You did not alarm our folks?
12112You going into this, too?
12112You mean you think there may be some fuel in the tank, after all?
12112You mean your father''s, do n''t you?
12112You''ve been robbed?
12112A voice shouted down from the bridge:"What in blazing sea serpents are you doing out here in that marine oil stove?"
12112Any news?"
12112Are you going to steer?"
12112Are you sure?"
12112Are you thinking of taking up aeronautics seriously?"
12112Bring your models with you, too, will you?"
12112But I suppose your old man will fork over, eh?"
12112But how are you going to get off your island again if your motor is laid up here to be fixed?"
12112But where?
12112But whose could have been the broken ragged shoes?"
12112By doing it this way we get some of the proceeds-- I admit not our fair share but what''s to be done?"
12112By the way,"he broke off in a dismayed tone,"where is the shore?"
12112CHAPTER II A CRUISE TO THE ISLAND"Whatever are you doing, Rob?"
12112CHAPTER III BOY SCOUTS TO THE RESCUE"Had n''t we better put back and warn them?"
12112CHAPTER VI AN ISLAND MYSTERY"Hullo, Hiram; where are you bound for?"
12112CHAPTER XI A FORTUNATE DISCOVERY"Want to go fishing?"
12112CHAPTER XXIV A MEETING IN THE FOG-- CONCLUSION"Can you make her out?"
12112Can we see that new boat of Sam''s?"
12112Did he say who gave it to, him?"
12112Did yer see any piratical humans monkeyin''around my boat last night?"
12112Do n''t you think we''d better cut the line or try to haul in?"
12112Do you reckon I could?"
12112Do you think Sam''s father will give him that much?"
12112Do you think that money grows on gooseberry bushes?
12112Dodging the stout youth''s blow, the corporal went on:"Heard the news?"
12112Get all the water out of your system?"
12112Go on, Andy, what else?"
12112Going to bring Tubby?"
12112Have I overslept?"
12112Have you tried the little valve forward of the carburetor?"
12112How about you, Paul?"
12112How about you, Sam?"
12112I wonder what he''s going to do with it?"
12112Is she safe?
12112Now let up on them, wo n''t you?"
12112Now, what is it?
12112Now, what kin I do you for?"
12112Sam lost his nerve at the last moment-- like him, eh?
12112Shut off that engine, will you, Tubby, while I see?"
12112Stolen?"
12112Tell me what you think of it?"
12112Their conversation was broken in upon by Sam, who demanded in no very gentle tones:"Well, who''s going ashore?
12112They ca n''t prove anything, can they?"
12112This orchard is my father''s and mine and you''ll keep out of it in future or suffer the consequences, understand?"
12112What are we going to do, Tubby-- keep on or cut loose?"
12112What can they have done with Joe?"
12112What d''yer mean by pira- pirawell, them parties yer mentioned?
12112What did he tell you about it?
12112What do yer want?
12112What has happened, Merritt?"
12112What makes him so mean, I wonder?"
12112What''s all that?"
12112What''s the matter with our taking possession of one of those?"
12112What''s the matter?"
12112What''s up?
12112Where are yer bound fer this fine, sunny day?"
12112Where on earth have you been and what has happened?
12112Who can have done it?"
12112Who picked her up?"
12112Why do n''t they make them of gold?"
12112Why should n''t we three fellows go camping after the motor- boat races?"
12112Why, what would they do with fifty dollars if they had it?
12112Will yer be out ter see me soon?
12112Will you come on board?"
12112Yer mean some one took it?"
12112You did n''t hear any unusual sounds or see anything out of the way, did you?"
12112aboard the steamer,"roared the captain, framing his mouth with his hands,"what ship is that?"
12112assented Rob,"and you think that Jack and his gang have carried him off in revenge for it?"
12112exclaimed Tubby suddenly,"if it comes on to blow, as the captain said it would, they''ll be in a bad fix, wo n''t they?"
12112exclaimed the old man in half daze at the stunning intelligence,"my boy Jack do a thing like that?
12112now stops-- now it starts ag''in-- then it stops-- wha, do yer suppose is happenin''to it?"
12112put in Hank, with no very gratified inflexion in his voice;"and what if I am caught?
12112remarked Harry Harkness to Rob as they followed,"but would you mind telling me what you all are wearing those uniforms for?"
12112suddenly hailed a voice from the water,"got any breakfast fer an old shipmate?"
47010A few days before that you invited the girl, and her father, to take a trip to New York with you in your automobile, did you not?
47010All right, shoot,came the regular answer by which"the big boss"announced himself--"Number 12?"
47010Am I never to ride in that big machine?
47010Am leaving for Dreamy Hollow-- want to go along? 47010 And of the soul, my Winifred?
47010And we both shall live again, my Winifred?
47010And when I begin teaching school we will put my earnings away, too,echoed Winifred--"and, oh, wo n''t mother be glad when I tell her of our plans?"
47010And where is your father?
47010And you are sure that you have quite recovered?
47010And your name, please?--''Bender?'' 47010 Any one else?"
47010Any sandwiches left?
47010Any talk of an operation?
47010Approximately that-- why not drop over for a while and we will have a chat? 47010 Are you at liberty to tell me?"
47010Are you in full charge here?
47010Are you married?
47010Are you up?
47010Big Case?
47010But suppose she wakes up and asks for Parkins?
47010But that man Updyke!--how did you ever conceive the idea that you could frustrate that brute''s plans?
47010But what had that to do with you, I wonder? 47010 But where did he go?"
47010But who will take care of the stand?
47010But would n''t it be wise to wait and see if she will have you?
47010But you love this young man, do n''t you?
47010Ca n''t you smell the coffee and bacon?
47010Could n''t we rent some ground?
47010Did he speak to you on leaving?
47010Did n''t tell him about the ten spot, though-- did you?
47010Did the Spirit talk-- say anything at all?
47010Did you ever consider the fact that water is one of nature''s greatest stimulants?
47010Did you get that?
47010Did you observe that she recognized me?
47010Do n''t you remember? 47010 Do you assume to know Bill Parkins from hat to shoes?
47010Do you know William Parkins-- one of my special partners?
47010Do you know how much I love you, dear?
47010Do you know me, little woman?
47010Do you know who I am?
47010Do you live hereabouts?
47010Do you love Drury Villard?
47010Does he recognize them?
47010Does you know who that big fellow is?
47010For example?
47010Has she opened her eyes since you came on duty?
47010Henry, you are a wonder!--what is the next step?
47010Hot old day, eh?
47010How about his mail? 47010 How about the Sayville road?
47010How about the doctor?
47010How could she know of you? 47010 How long did the apparition remain in view?"
47010How long has he been beyond redemption?
47010How shall I know?
47010How will you manage so grave a matter as an elopement?
47010How would you like to become housekeeper for me at fifty dollars a week, with all you can eat, and a Christmas present for good measure?
47010How-- only one door to the room?
47010I am haunted with fear-- where is this man Parkins?
47010I believe it is the Swathmere that I''m saving up that pretty new dress for-- is it not?
47010I do n''t think-- I know where he is going-- but I do n''t know when he will get there? 47010 I know what you are going to tell me-- your own belief-- eh?
47010I see that clearly, but what about me? 47010 I suppose your mother stays at home and takes care of the family?"
47010I was joking dear-- you----"Of course you were, we''re always joking, are n''t we? 47010 I''d planned for a lively evening-- what is the news of the day?
47010I''d say I do-- what''s up?
47010I''m your client-- am I not?
47010Is Bloss there yet?
47010Is she there now?
47010Is that so!--then why did you, absolutely sober, and after ten days in bed with a wounded scalp-- kidnap her and start for Herman''s Roadhouse?
47010Is that what he calls an elopement?
47010It''s a movin''pitcher kodak-- ain''t you ever seen''um before?
47010Just what did you see, William? 47010 Mary!--Mary who?"
47010No-- the happy couple?
47010Not since yesterday-- what is the matter? 47010 Now George, you come forward and make this man behave,"she demanded--"or shall I pull his hair?"
47010Now is n''t that strange, sir? 47010 Now sir, you shall be fed by both of us until you will never want to eat again-- but, do we get a ride after dinner, Sir Knight?"
47010Oh, I do so want to go, Father!--say that I may, wo n''t you dear?
47010Old stingy-- always keeping down expenses, eh? 47010 Or is that withdrawn?"
47010S''pose we kiss each other-- dear?
47010Shall I run a man out to you to- night?
47010Shall we burn the place down? 47010 She told me to study hard and become a teacher-- and----""Yes, dear-- and, what?"
47010Showed her all the conveniences, too-- didn''t you?--the kitchenette and everything?
47010Speaking of-- you know who-- did you see him?
47010Spied upon?
47010Started in by kidding her, did n''t you?
47010Sure you did n''t have a little brain trouble when you saw those bright eyes?
47010Take a little nap-- why do n''t you?
47010That little dinner, by the way-- next winter-- some time?
47010Then for what purpose?
47010Then how do you know she will have you?
47010Then what happened?
47010Then you refuse?
47010This you, Henry-- all right-- he telephoned from Yaphank for a parlor and bath suite-- expected very soon-- can I help you in any way?
47010This you, Miss Johnson-- how''s everything?
47010Um-- any reason to be anxious about him?
47010Very careless of me-- eh-- Parkins? 47010 Wake up and talk-- where is she?"
47010Was she hurt very badly?
47010Well-- didn''t George take a big gamble when he waylaid Parkins? 47010 What can you tell me, gentlemen, that will give me a lead toward the door of the unknown?"
47010What did he say to that?
47010What did she say, Winifred?
47010What do you advise?
47010What do you know about him?
47010What do you know about that?
47010What do you mean by''sacred source''?
47010What do you suggest for me to do?
47010What is he wanted for?
47010What reason have you to be jealous of that little simp?
47010What shall I say? 47010 What shall we call it?"
47010What time do you leave for New York?
47010What would you suggest, Winifred?
47010What''s the use? 47010 What-- the pictures?"
47010When did this change take place-- and where?
47010When shall I come again?
47010When?
47010Where are they now?
47010Where are you now?
47010Where do you think he will head for?
47010Where have you looked?
47010Where is Updyke''s man?
47010Where is he now?
47010Who calls?
47010Who else could it be?
47010Who is he?
47010Who was she?
47010Who was that man? 47010 Whom do you mean by''old man''?"
47010Why did n''t you inform me?
47010Why did that disturb you?
47010Why not come out yourself-- if it''s an important case?
47010Why not use long distance?
47010Why not? 47010 Why would he come here at all?"
47010Why, Mr. Villard-- why would you have done this, when at that time your zeal was at its height?
47010Why, bless me!--aren''t you Winifred Barbour of Patchogue?
47010Why, he was the man over here last night, was he not?
47010Why-- can''t you guess, after all the hints I''ve made?
47010Why?
47010Why?
47010Why?
47010Winifred told her to tell me that there would be an accident and that Drury would aid-- and-- and----"Oh, please go on, dear girl, and what? 47010 Wonderful girl-- eh?
47010Would you care to go along, Drury?
47010Would you care to say more in relation to your communication with a spirit from the other world?
47010Would you experiment?
47010Would you mind if I asked one more question?
47010Yep-- I get you-- what''s up?
47010Yes you do recall-- and you also remember apologizing to her for calling her''little sister''--now do n''t you? 47010 Yes-- an asylum for insane drunkards-- that''s what you meant to say-- wasn''t it?"
47010You already know every move, every thought, every act-- what''s the use? 47010 You are still a deputy sheriff?"
47010You have a so- called hut on the ocean side-- did you ever drive her out that way?
47010You must feel pretty certain that he will turn up at the hut-- sooner or later?
47010You really think so-- eh? 47010 Your mother is dead, is she not?"
47010''I''ve been puzzled over the words''tell Parkins''--what do you make of that?"
47010And something about opening up the stand-- now is n''t that true?"
47010Any change in his actions?"
47010Anything happened to disturb your mind?"
47010Anything wrong?"
47010Are they not?"
47010But how may we account for the fact, that after she looked into each of our faces, mine was the one she thought she knew?"
47010But there is something I want to know at once-- how did you guess my name?"
47010But what is the use?
47010But what of Winifred?...
47010But what of the land?
47010But why do you propose it without my asking?"
47010But why do you tell me all this over the telephone?
47010By the way, have you given your estate a name?"
47010Can it be true?"
47010Carver mounted his wheel when our Mr. Drury Villard drove up?
47010Carver?"
47010Could another Winifred answer the call of his yearning?
47010Could his heart go out to any other than the Winifred of old?
47010Did he move his effects?"
47010Did she suggest any particular reason for that answer?"
47010Did you hear that?"
47010Did you learn his name?"
47010Did_ she_ know_ all_--everything about his great longing for_ her_?
47010Do n''t think it unwomanly, will you?"
47010Do n''t you know by this time that an up- to- date agency like this has a page on every business man worth while, as well as the worthless?
47010Do n''t you know that you are lying again?
47010Do n''t you see that everything is all right?"
47010Do you get that?"
47010Do you know him?"
47010Do you know that he is a drunkard, that he takes dope, patronizes low places, and is a disgrace to your high class concern?"
47010Do you know that he is speculating upward on a downward market?
47010Do you live here?"
47010Do you remember your maudlin conversation with yourself in your apartment the morning you were fired out of Dreamy Hollow?
47010Duke?"
47010Get that?"
47010Glancing hastily toward Villard he asked with eyes widely opened--"What has happened?"
47010Had an exalted ego taken possession of his once cool, analytical mind?
47010Had he been asleep?
47010Had he been incautious?
47010Had not his Winifred kissed her dainty hand as she held it out to him?
47010Hard work, standing up all day, is n''t it?"
47010Have you seen Winifred?"
47010He is pretty much broken up over the accident, but the home he is in is a dream, so he''ll be happy there until we come back for him-- See?
47010He wo n''t get her there?"
47010He''s bound to come back this way-- the question is, when?"
47010How does that suit your convenience?"
47010How is the girl?"
47010How much do you average per week?"
47010How much was fact-- how much was fancy?
47010How''s that for an idea?"
47010I remember I was in a dreadful accident-- did you know that?
47010I wonder if I have been fair to this child?"
47010I wonder if one could always be happy with every craving of the heart entirely satisfied?"
47010I''m in real deadly earnest about-- you know what I mean-- now do n''t you?"
47010I''ve looked him up before-- don''t you remember?"
47010In fact, I have a plan----""What would you do with the present organization?"
47010Is Mr. Parkins able to support a theory to the contrary?"
47010Is he an old resident-- one of our plutocrats?"
47010Is that his place?"
47010It occurred this morning-- where am I now?
47010It seems to me that you really do know my mind?"
47010It was n''t the doctor?"
47010Julie Hayes is the only one in Patchogue who knows her real address-- get me?"
47010Let''s see-- your estate joins the Sawyer Place, does it not?"
47010Make him feel at home, and that he is doing us a great favor, for which he wo n''t lose anything-- see?
47010More of it coming in?"
47010Must I use jiu- jitsu?"
47010No doubt about this fellow being Parkins, is there?"
47010Now then-- I''ll ask you to tell me how and when you got acquainted with her?"
47010Now, is n''t that a better plan?"
47010Now, little lady,"he added, addressing Winifred,"could you ride behind me on my motorcycle to Riverhead?"
47010Often the feeling comes to me to run away from it all-- but where could I go?
47010Oh, my dearest friend on earth, how would either of us regard the other once we were confronted by the mirror of public opinion?
47010Or had he turned traitor through anxiety to become the master of a great fortune?
47010Over at Dreamy Hollow-- how you anticipated everything that would add to my comfort and ease of mind?
47010Parkins?"
47010Rents are so awful, are n''t they?"
47010See that heightened color in his cheeks?"
47010See the big white mansion through the opening?
47010See?
47010Shall I phone her the news?"
47010Shall I shoot it?"
47010Shall we go as we are, or shall we make it to- morrow night?"
47010Shall we invite them to a duel?"
47010Shall we jog along back?"
47010Some one ill there?"
47010Surely the report can not be wrong?
47010That would be terrible, would n''t it?"
47010That''s a go-- eh-- George?"
47010Then remembering something she had forgotten Winifred exclaimed--"Tell me about Mary-- who is she?"
47010Then she said--"Mr. Parkins is taking us in his big four- passenger roadster-- how many horse powers has it, father?
47010Then, all at once, a great thought crept forward-- was_ she_ near?
47010Updyke?"
47010Updyke?"
47010Updyke?"
47010Villard?"
47010Villard?"
47010Was he now loyal to all hands in the organization, and to Villard himself?
47010Was it just a girlish impulse?--or was it the blood of youth responding to the call?
47010Was it named after you, Doctor?"
47010We must all have something to lean upon or what would be the use of a temporary life, and nothing to hope for in the future?
47010We were to be married there, and you were to be the witness-- see?"
47010Well, what''s the use to speculate?
47010Were n''t you brave enough to say it to my face?"
47010What about the other machine-- any one hurt?"
47010What can I say?
47010What could she mean by that?"
47010What did it all mean?
47010What do you make of it?"
47010What do you suggest?"
47010What has happened to me, and my father?
47010What is the name of the photographer you sent out to Patchogue?"
47010What is the trouble down there?"
47010What more do you expect in an instant?"
47010What precedent have you to offer?"
47010What shall I do about the corpse?"
47010What shall I do when I locate him?"
47010What shall I do with him?"
47010What shall I say to him if I conclude to communicate with him?"
47010What should be done with him?
47010What time are you leaving for home?"
47010What were your real intentions toward that girl?"
47010When did he leave?
47010Where shall we go?"
47010Which way shall I go out?"
47010Who do you think was with me?"
47010Who is the old fellow over there praying?"
47010Will he go out to his old haunt on the outer drive?"
47010Wo n''t you sit down and listen to the roaring tide coming in?
47010Would it not be best to walk out along his private beach and breathe the salt air of the evening tide, thus to tranquilize his mind?
47010Would n''t it be safe to move him to a sanitarium-- or something?"
47010Would you be satisfied with just that, little girl?"
47010Would your appetite call for whisky, now, if you saw it before you?"
47010You had won her trust, and that of her father, who was to be allowed to''drift''--wasn''t he?
47010You have a motorcycle?"
47010You have just drank two glasses of cool, fresh water-- would you care to take a drink of liquor on top of them?
47010You remember the day of the accident?"
47010You said the girl and her father were old friends of yours, did n''t you?"
47010You would n''t want your picture in the paper and a great''howdye do''kicked up with your name in it-- now would you?"
47010gasped Winifred, looking guiltily into his smiling face, then suddenly she exclaimed--"I''ve seen you but recently, have I not?"
47010replied Winifred, gaily--"and the noise of that awful man under the shower?
47010suggested Winifred--"and send our produce to market by boat from Patchogue?
59126''Am I doing right?''
59126''Will what I fear ever happen?''
59126A fancier of staircases, what do you mean?
59126A go- between?
59126A long, full robe of a sort of sage green----"What material?
59126A tall man, with a beard?
59126About the pillow? 59126 Again or yet?"
59126Ah, is that so? 59126 All equally impossible?"
59126All right; now, what about Mrs. Stannard''s story of overhearing the stuff her husband said to the girl?
59126Alone?
59126Am I afraid of you?
59126And Barry Stannard, what does he think?
59126And Miss Vernon?
59126And Mrs. Stannard had other suitors, who were disappointed at her marriage?
59126And did n''t you?
59126And did that mean nothing to you?
59126And did you do it?
59126And found Miss Vernon already here?
59126And he has a round, smooth- shaven face?
59126And her hands?
59126And her mysterious reading of those sealed papers? 59126 And his jewel collection?
59126And his wife was jealous?
59126And how did the bearer of the box get into the locked room?
59126And how did you think this intruder had entered?
59126And is Mr. Courtenay one of them?
59126And just how did he leave the room? 59126 And kept still when he found those two women were accused?"
59126And left it there?
59126And that would make you give up the case?
59126And the door between open?
59126And the jewels? 59126 And the young lady,--is Barry Stannard a suitor of hers?"
59126And then I went right in, without making a sound----"Did n''t it make a sound as you opened the door?
59126And then he put them away, where?
59126And then you suspected me?
59126And then, when she got a chance, she changed it, and, why,_ why_ would she do this, except to inherit-- at once?
59126And then, you think, Mr. Stannard, that this intruder turned off the lights and made his exit just before the ladies entered the room?
59126And then?
59126And to whom else was he attracted?
59126And to whom were these remarks that you overheard, addressed?
59126And when you entered the room was it light or dark?
59126And when you first saw her?
59126And who do you think that was?
59126And who is the criminal?
59126And why have you changed your mind since?
59126And you did n''t resent it?
59126And you do n''t think I changed that will?
59126And you expect me to recommend somebody?
59126And you fell for that?
59126And you had it on when you sat on the bench?
59126And you were''Goldenheart''?
59126And you will go to the police and tell them this?
59126And young Stannard persisted?
59126And, do you not think, Mrs. Stannard, that he would have said that to shield you both, even if one had been guilty?
59126And, tell me, did you hear the click of the switch as the light went out?
59126Are the jewels all there? 59126 Are you apt with your pencil, Miss Vernon?
59126Are you going to stay here long?
59126Are you satisfied?
59126Are you sure it all occurred at half past eleven?
59126Are you sure that''s what he said?
59126As if she had just come in from that room?
59126At any rate, it is not the rough dress of a tramp or burglar?
59126At what time did you leave the Stannard house that night?
59126At what time did you reach home? 59126 Barry, Eugene Courtenay did n''t kill Eric, did he?"
59126Barry, what are you afraid of? 59126 Barry,"cried Joyce,"what are you saying?
59126But any reason why she should dislike him, or wish him ill?
59126But did n''t you know the sum he mentioned in his will? 59126 But do n''t you see?
59126But he was in love with you?
59126But how can we think that a man entered at that window,said Lamson,"when we notice how it is filled with furniture and apparatus?"
59126But how could she turn off the lights?
59126But how do you explain the various clues pointing to Natalie?
59126But how do you know? 59126 But how?"
59126But in her case you know of instances?
59126But it was dark, how could you see her?
59126But it was supernatural to read the sealed messages as she did?
59126But ought n''t her powers of second sight, if she has such, reveal to her the identity of the man? 59126 But suppose she did see him, and chooses to deny it for his sake?"
59126But the lights went out?
59126But why would Mr. Wadsworth do that?
59126But you and Miss Vernon are good friends? 59126 But you are sure you did know when the studio lights went out?"
59126But you do n''t think I-- forged it-- do you, Barry?
59126But you do not think so?
59126But you feel sure, at this moment, that it was not Miss Vernon who killed your husband?
59126But, if I may ask, sir,said Miller, respectfully,"how could a murderer see to strike such a blow in a dark room?
59126By Jove,he broke out,"how can I tell you the straight truth?
59126By means of a material switch?
59126By rapping and tipping tables?
59126Ca n''t I help?
59126Ca n''t you understand, Mr. Roberts? 59126 Can we do anything to- night?"
59126Can you remember about the light going out and the cry for help,--and all that, exactly?
59126Can you take a case, Mr. Ford? 59126 Captain,"Bobsy would say,"do you see that point?"
59126Chances of what?
59126Could it not have been a suicide?
59126Could not a burglar have entered by a window, attempted robbery, and, being discovered, stabbed Mr. Stannard in self- preservation?
59126Could this be the way of it?
59126Could you see me from here?
59126Dear heart, ca n''t you learn to look to me to cheer that loneliness?
59126Did Mr. Stannard leave you anything in his will?
59126Did he know who stabbed him?
59126Did n''t you have them all the time?
59126Did she faint?
59126Did you hear your name?
59126Did you kill him, Natalie?
59126Did you not know of it before Mr. Stiles told you?
59126Did you see Mr. Courtenay on that stone bench there?
59126Did you?
59126Directly behind him?
59126Do I understand, Mr. Roberts, you mean that I-- let us speak plainly-- that I killed Eric Stannard?
59126Do n''t you know why he did that?
59126Do the police know that?
59126Do they all obey one switch?
59126Do you believe in mejums, Cap?
59126Do you know anything about a changed figure in Eric''s will?
59126Do you know where your father kept his jewels?
59126Do you suppose I wanted that money? 59126 Does it seem to be evening dress?"
59126Double skirt?
59126Down to the Italian gardens?
59126Drapery hanging from the shoulders?
59126Evidence? 59126 Find out something about the mysteries that are growing deeper and more numerous all the time?"
59126Had he a hat on?
59126Had you on a hat?
59126Have I told you so?
59126Have you a photograph of the subject in life?
59126Have you heard about the will?
59126Have you noticed anything peculiar about this will?
59126He is not masked?
59126He showed them to Mr. Truxton, that evening?
59126His sleeping room is above the studio?
59126How can I help you, Miss Vernon?
59126How can I tell that? 59126 How can I?
59126How can you ask? 59126 How could I know it?
59126How could he have entered?
59126How could she help seeing him?
59126How could she?
59126How did they get there?
59126How did you get here?
59126How do you know anybody did?
59126How do you know he said, or tried to say,''Neither Joyce nor Natalie''?
59126How do you know it is big and high?
59126How do you know it wo n''t? 59126 How do you know she does?
59126How do you know?
59126How do you know?
59126How do you mean?
59126How is he dressed?
59126How long was the light out?
59126How should I know? 59126 How was she standing?"
59126How, queer?
59126How?
59126I do n''t know,she said, blankly,"how could I?"
59126I do n''t know_ what_ to do-- I''ve no one to ask, no one to confide in----"Ca n''t you tell me?
59126I know it,and Joyce shook her head,"but if you do n''t advise me the way I want you to, I''ll----""Ask somebody else?"
59126I saw Mr. Stannard first, at the other end of the room, in his favourite big chair, and he was like a man dying----"Have you ever seen a man die?
59126I was on that bench all the time, till I went home----"Did you see any one, any servant or gardener, perhaps, who can vouch for your story?
59126I-- heard a strange sound, Madame,--from the studio----"A strange sound?
59126I? 59126 If I were, would I be apt to tell you?"
59126If Mrs. Stannard had had any angry words with her husband just before he was attacked, could you have overheard them?
59126If she was a fake, how did she read those papers in the dark?
59126In Orienta? 59126 In that case, who could have stabbed my husband?
59126In the dark?
59126In the dark?
59126In what ways did Miss Vernon incur Mr. Stannard''s displeasure?
59126Ink or pencil?
59126Is he wearing a hat? 59126 Is it enough?"
59126Is it possible? 59126 Is n''t it better to leave the whole thing a mystery?"
59126Is that so? 59126 Is there a hat on the table?
59126It could n''t have been collusion, eh, Steele?
59126It only opens in those high, upper sections, by cords, do n''t you see?
59126It''s all one house,--there''s no division?
59126It''s funny to have two names alike, is n''t it?
59126Joyce,she said, at last,"why are you good to me?
59126Joyce,she said, staring at her with big blue eyes,"where did those jewels come from?"
59126Just what do you mean?
59126Let me see,said Barry,"what were the words?"
59126Like a moving picture?
59126Looking terrified?
59126May I come in?
59126May I come in?
59126May I look at it?
59126May I not have my conditions complied with?
59126May I not stay there with you?
59126May I take the little electric, Joyce, and drive it myself?
59126May n''t I see it?
59126May n''t we see them?
59126May we ask questions?
59126May we speak?
59126Meaning, of course, that you two women were innocent, and that some other hand had struck the blow?
59126Might not Mr. Stannard''s objection to his son''s suit have been prompted by his own admiration for the lovely nature?
59126Might she not have come in just as you did, attracted by that strange sound, as of a man in pain?
59126Might what, dear?
59126Miss Vernon, will you tell your story?
59126Miss Vernon?
59126Mr. Courtenay had just left you?
59126Mr. Roberts,she said, suddenly,"if I wish to go away from this house, is there any reason I should not do so?"
59126Mr. Stannard was slow, then?
59126Mrs. Faulkner, will you give us your version of these events?
59126Mrs. Faulkner? 59126 Mrs. Stannard is his second wife, is she not?"
59126Mrs. Stannard made no objection to this?
59126Mrs. Truxton, the jewel collector?
59126Must I tell that?
59126Must it have been led up to?
59126Must you?
59126Need I be?
59126No chance for a confederate?
59126No law ought to make you do anything you do n''t want to,he said smiling;"but suppose it''s to your own advantage to talk?"
59126No, I probably shouldn''t-- but, Eugene, it was n''t you? 59126 No, he has a long, thin face----""Can you see his face, then?"
59126No, why? 59126 No,"she returned;"what do you mean?"
59126No; why should I? 59126 Nobody could have come in at the Billiard Room door?"
59126Nor any of the men?
59126Not his face, but an indication of his profile----"Then is he clean- shaven?
59126Now was Miss Vernon there and were these words addressed to her? 59126 Now, as to the other ladies, Mrs. Stannard and Miss Vernon?"
59126Now, is there any trap door?
59126Of course, I believe in life after death----"But do you think the dead can return and communicate with us?
59126Oh, I couldn''t-- and yet who else could it have been? 59126 Oh, Mr. Ford,"and Natalie gave a little gasp,"do you really think, then, it was Mr. Stannard''s spirit that I heard in the studio?
59126Oh, Natalie, how can I say? 59126 Oh, does any one think it was you?"
59126Oh, he kept saying, Bobsy did,''Has he a pointed beard?'' 59126 Oh, ho,"was his self- communing,"sits the wind in that quarter?
59126Oh, yes,cried Natalie,"how was that done?"
59126On the soft, thick rug?
59126Once again, Mrs. Faulkner, you attach no significance to the words,''Natalie, not Joyce,''which Blake quotes Mr. Stannard as saying?
59126One moment; was the Billiard Room lighted?
59126Physically, you mean?
59126Pointed or full?
59126Pointing toward Miss Vernon, you mean?
59126Really? 59126 Saw her kill him?"
59126Servants or the others?
59126Shall I read these in the dark or in the light?
59126She is fond of you both?
59126She really read them, then, by clairvoyant sight?
59126Spiritualism?
59126Spooks?
59126Suppose it was some one she did n''t know?
59126Swear falsely?
59126Tampered with?
59126Tell him to come some other time?
59126That seems to let Blake out, does n''t it? 59126 That wax baby?"
59126That''s why you altered the will in Miss Vernon''s favour?
59126That, then, could scarcely be construed into a motive for murder?
59126The Billiard Room was lighted?
59126The Stannard case?
59126The innocent one, too?
59126The rest in the light?
59126The servants saw no stranger, in any sort of garb?
59126Then I heard a strange, gasping sound, and I rushed in----"Was the room light then?
59126Then Mrs. Stannard and Mr. Courtenay went into the Billiard Room?
59126Then how did she read those questions, Barry? 59126 Then how do you know how one would look?"
59126Then is he innocent, Beatrice? 59126 Then some one could have passed you-- you would n''t have heard a soft step?"
59126Then what are you doing here? 59126 Then who did?"
59126Then why the act?
59126Then you assume premeditation?
59126Then you refuse to tell me?
59126Then you suspect some one?
59126There was no one else at dinner?
59126They came toward him, too, and Mrs. Stannard took hold of his hand----"Well?
59126They wo n''t arrest me, will they?
59126This is signed Beatrice Faulkner, and it says,''Where are the lost jewels?'' 59126 To New York?"
59126To whom then?
59126To whom, then?
59126Turned it on? 59126 Until you heard the sounds from the studio?"
59126Ventriloquism?
59126Wait, what about that conversation Mrs. Stannard overheard? 59126 Was he in the hall?"
59126Was it?
59126Was she looking at you, as you left?
59126Was the door of your bedroom locked?
59126Was the door open?
59126Well, can you imagine that little girl having nerve enough for all that? 59126 Well, do you, as a reputable lawyer, admit that you overlook a palpable fraud like that?"
59126Well, sir, I could n''t help it, sir-- I blurted out,''Who did this?'' 59126 Well, suppose he stabbed Mr. Stannard, then turned off the light, and then slipped out through the Billiard Room when Joyce''s back was turned?"
59126Well, then, what was the first thing you saw?
59126Well, what about it?
59126Well, who is the man? 59126 Well?"
59126Well?
59126Well?
59126Well?
59126What about the dying words of the man, and also, what about that letter to the model?
59126What about the letter found in the desk?
59126What are you doing?
59126What are you going to do?
59126What are you talking about?
59126What can I do for you?
59126What can it be? 59126 What can we do, Mr. Ford?
59126What could she tell me? 59126 What did she hope to gain by her trance performance?"
59126What did you do after leaving the room?
59126What did you think ailed him?
59126What do you mean?
59126What do you mean?
59126What do you mean?
59126What do you suppose she does? 59126 What does Barry say?"
59126What for?
59126What has become of your portrait painted on the staircase?
59126What is it?
59126What is it?
59126What is your wish?
59126What makes you think so?
59126What may I call you?
59126What next?
59126What possessed the child?
59126What shall we do?
59126What was going on at the house when you went back?
59126What was her good reason?
59126What was it, then?
59126What was she doing?
59126What will Barry say? 59126 What''s that, Natalie?
59126What?
59126When Joyce turned on the lights----"Who turned them off?
59126Where are these jewels?
59126Where did they come from? 59126 Where is Miss Vernon?"
59126Where is he?
59126Where is the fancied alteration?
59126Where next?
59126Where were the gems this morning?
59126Where were you just before you came down the stairs and saw Blake?
59126Where''s Barry?
59126Which was first, the sound or the sudden darkness?
59126Which way?
59126Whichever did it, or whoever did it, had to cross to the other end of the room to turn off the lights, did n''t she?
59126Who changed it?
59126Who did this, sir?
59126Who did, do you think?
59126Who did?
59126Who do you think put them there?
59126Who does know the whereabouts of those kept in the house?
59126Who is he?
59126Who is?
59126Who knows it?
59126Who thinks so?
59126Who was the man?
59126Who were the guests at dinner?
59126Who will benefit financially by his death?
59126Who, then?
59126Whom did you see?
59126Whom shall I ask?
59126Why ca n''t you trust me?
59126Why did n''t she know it?
59126Why did she do this? 59126 Why did you think it would accuse a stranger?
59126Why do you ask that?
59126Why do you condemn her because of that?
59126Why do you stay in this room, Barry? 59126 Why have n''t you been here?"
59126Why not as you did before?
59126Why not assume that the intruder also took the jewels?
59126Why not by coming in the Terrace door, and passing Natalie instead of me?
59126Why not? 59126 Why should a great detective talk about such foolish details as large or small rooms?
59126Why would anybody? 59126 Why, it was silk, I think,--yes, heavy silk, was n''t it, Joyce?"
59126Why, what could it mean?
59126Why, what has happened? 59126 Why?"
59126Why?
59126Will it always work?
59126Will these do?
59126Will they let her?
59126Will you get some paper and envelopes?
59126Will you tell us then something of the personal relations of this household? 59126 Will you try me first on some outside matters or shall we proceed at once to the question of the mystery we seek to solve?"
59126With what?
59126With whom?
59126Without a word?
59126Would n''t you care if I had committed-- crime?
59126Would you have turned it on, if Mrs. Faulkner had n''t told you to?
59126Yes, and----"And what?
59126Yes, but what way did she use?
59126Yes, sir, he spoke-- sort of whispered, in a gasping way----"And what did he say?
59126Yes, you understand that?
59126Yes; now whom did you leave in the studio, when you and Mr. Wadsworth and the Truxtons went out of it?
59126Yet, you are willing to believe that Miss Vernon is the criminal we are seeking?
59126You accuse me?
59126You are interested?
59126You are prepared to swear that Miss Vernon was in the room before you were?
59126You are sure of this?
59126You are sure?
59126You came down stairs just as Blake was peeping in at the door?
59126You did n''t love Eric, did you?
59126You heard the words,said Natalie to Beatrice Faulkner;"does it seem to you he meant that?"
59126You invited him, yourself, to the sà © ance?
59126You killed Stannard?
59126You know all?
59126You know he left you a large sum of money?
59126You know nothing of the change in the will, then, Miss Vernon?
59126You know the main details, then?
59126You left her there? 59126 You left me here,--where did you go, Barry?"
59126You liked her? 59126 You mean if she knows it?"
59126You mean, if you had been guilty, he would have shielded you, rather than accused you with his last breath?
59126You mean, the jewels appeared there mysteriously?
59126You previously owned this house, did you not?
59126You say he is dark? 59126 You say you''ve thought of him before?"
59126You stayed near the house?
59126You suspect I killed my husband?
59126You swear this?
59126You told Orienta to say that Mr. Stannard said''Neither Natalie_ nor_ Joyce.''?
59126You went out at the front door?
59126You were not?
59126You were surprised when the light was turned on to see the two women there?
59126You were the first to discover your master''s dead body?
59126You wo n''t let them, will you, Barry?
59126You''re sure Barry knows?
59126You''re sure of this?
59126You''re sure the jewels were not here on the table when you went out of the room?
59126Your power is occult, then?
59126_ Just_ the same?
59126''Who did this?''
59126A dark beard?
59126A heavy one?"
59126A little awed, Coroner Lamson asked:"Do you corroborate the story as just related by Blake, the footman?"
59126A soft rustle, as of wings?"
59126After the conversation we had just had, were you thinking of the dogs instead of me?"
59126An important murder case?"
59126And Eric told me----""What, Natalie?"
59126And I must ask you why you stabbed him?
59126And I was so mad, I flew into a rage, and----""And scratched up your picture?"
59126And Mr. Stannard-- he said----""_ Said!_ Spoke?"
59126And Mrs. Faulkner, she came toward him----""And the two ladies behind him?"
59126And Mrs. Faulkner, she knew nothing of it all?"
59126And did Mr. Barry Stannard want her to come?"
59126And for whom?
59126And he went away----""Where?"
59126And how am I to know that you''re not telling me this to save him?"
59126And in a furious moment of surprised indignation, what might not a woman do?
59126And the criminal?
59126And the emeralds to Mrs. Stannard last week?"
59126And the house staff, too, if necessary?"
59126And then, Mrs. Faulkner came down?"
59126And then, as if his doubts were of little consequence, she said,"Shall I proceed?"
59126And what could a confederate do?
59126And what did you hear?"
59126And who else is to be considered?"
59126And yet, was she a faker?
59126And you can read sealed messages in the dark?"
59126And, also, might not Natalie merely have patterned her recital after that of Joyce?
59126And, supposing he did commit crime to steal Mr. Stannard''s jewels, just how did he get away afterward, without discovery?"
59126And-- suppose he did do it----""Kill Eric?
59126Anyway, where could she go to have a light?
59126Are any missing?"
59126Are you frightening her, Mr. Roberts?
59126Are you going to-- do you care for him, Beatrice?"
59126Barry?"
59126Beatrice looked at the girl, and said,"Did you do it, Natalie?
59126Beatrice, who could have done it?"
59126Beg her to stay as long as I do,--won''t you, dear?"
59126Blake said,''Who did this?''
59126Brutal?
59126But I, too, shrink from the awful publicity and the harrowing experience we must go through,--Beatrice, what do you think?"
59126But Miss Vernon, may we not have a few words with her?
59126But are you sure you want him to know what I may reveal?
59126But could an indignant girl go so far as to kill an artist who had drawn her in a way she did n''t care to be portrayed?
59126But could she do that?
59126But do n''t you see where the knowledge of her act leads us?"
59126But how, then, explain their return?"
59126But is n''t it quite as likely that the girl did the stabbing?"
59126But never mind that now; tell me, did you say Alan Ford is coming?"
59126But now-- Eric''s death----""Oh, yes, you stood right there, when your attention was first drawn to the footman''s queer actions, did n''t you?"
59126But when you said if the spirit manifestation appeared in the studio to- night-- that was a trap, was n''t it?"
59126But where did you tramp?"
59126But who corroborates that?"
59126But why a servant?
59126But why not consider Mr. Truxton?
59126But, after all, might n''t Goldenheart be Joyce herself?
59126But, man, alive, how could I get in and out of that room?
59126But, tell me, what do you think of Miss Vernon''s story of the spirit manifestations in this room?"
59126By silent communion, or by a restless haunting of places they used to occupy?
59126Ca n''t you tell me what to do?"
59126Can I ask her to marry a murderer?"
59126Can it be that he came back at Natalie''s wish?"
59126Can you do this?"
59126Can you tell us anything that will help clear the innocent or indicate the criminal?"
59126Can you think of any reason why Miss Vernon would desire your husband''s death?"
59126Could anything be plainer?"
59126Could n''t that be true?"
59126Could you draw a rough sketch of that gown?"
59126Courtenay?"
59126Courtenay?"
59126Courtenay?"
59126Courtenay?"
59126Cruel?
59126Dear heart, ca n''t you leave this house?
59126Dear, when will you marry me?"
59126Did n''t he leave you just about that time?"
59126Did not your late husband feel this?"
59126Did she describe him further?"
59126Did she tell you?"
59126Did she?"
59126Did somebody change the text?"
59126Did you change the will?"
59126Did you ever see it?"
59126Did you have to defend yourself?
59126Did you hear that voice clearly?"
59126Did you know where they were all the time?"
59126Did you not hear that?"
59126Did you return those last night?
59126Did you see Miss Vernon strike the blow?"
59126Did you?"
59126Do n''t you know how some women succumb to cave- man wooing?
59126Do n''t you know we are all watched-- whatever we do or wherever we go?"
59126Do n''t you know what I mean?
59126Do n''t you see?
59126Do n''t you want to save Eugene?"
59126Do you fear any revelation she may make?"
59126Do you know of any one who fulfils those conditions?"
59126Do you know the identity of''Goldenheart''?"
59126Do you know who did the forgery?"
59126Do you know who stabbed your father?"
59126Do you suspect the footman Blake of any connivance-- or of any wrong doing in the whole matter?"
59126Do you think I am enough of a sensitive to bring about a real manifestation?"
59126Do you want her to?"
59126Do you wonder that I thought she had done something wrong?
59126Do you, Beatrice?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Faulkner?"
59126Ford?"
59126Go into trances?"
59126Go to your room for a time, do n''t you want to?
59126Had Joyce laid a trap?
59126Had he asked you to pose in any way to which you were unwilling to consent?
59126Had he insisted, after you refused?
59126Had he never told you?"
59126Had the experiment really proved so much more successful than she had dared to hope?
59126Had to say, in curt, accusing tones,"Then how do you explain Mr. Stannard''s dying words,''Natalie, not Joyce!''?"
59126Has she had them all the time?"
59126Have n''t you heard about her?
59126Have you a warrant for my arrest?"
59126Have you never heard of seemingly incriminatory evidence of one leading straight to another?"
59126Have you talked with her on this subject?"
59126Have you the plans of it?
59126Have you told Roberts?"
59126He had boldly written,"Who killed Eric Stannard?"
59126He hears the servant say,''Who did this?''
59126He said,"When you came in in the darkness, Mrs. Stannard, how did you avoid stumbling over the chairs and stands in your way?
59126Her rosy palm lifted in protest, she said,"Why do you believe Mrs. Stannard''s story and not mine?
59126How can we distinguish which one tells the truth?"
59126How could any one walk through that and leave no track?"
59126How could they have been brought in without your knowing it?"
59126How dare you imply such a thing?
59126How did she know she was wanted?"
59126How did they get there?"
59126How do you know?"
59126How do you suppose the jewels came to be on that table?"
59126How long before?"
59126I believe they go for a trot every night, do n''t they, Blake?"
59126I called his attention to it, and he said,''Changed figures?
59126I can-- Mr. Ford, you believe me, do n''t you?"
59126I do n''t believe in those things, but-- well-- do you?"
59126I do n''t believe they''d let you----""Why not?
59126I flew across and turned off the lights as a precautionary measure, and then----""Then how did you get out?"
59126I had been in the Billiard Room for some time, ever since dinner, in fact----""Alone?"
59126I know Eric, and oh, Natalie, I tried so hard to be good, and to do my duty-- but Eugene was always around, you know-- and, must I confess it?
59126I mean, how are you going to attempt it?"
59126I mean, you were the first to enter the room after the man was stabbed?"
59126I need n''t ever pose again, need I, Barry?"
59126I thought she had killed him, and had sort of stepped back, you know----""Why did you change your mind?"
59126I was just thinking about Natalie, and then Halpin came running out and told me to come in the house, my father was ill.""And you went right in?"
59126I was so scared to see Eric,--Mr. Stannard, dead or dying, and his wife standing there as if she had just----""Just what?
59126I was----""Yes?"
59126If I ca n''t have the original-- yet-- will you give me the duplicate?"
59126If I see to it, that the police are fully informed of my evidence regarding Courtenay, will you get away at once?"
59126If Mrs. Stannard is the guilty person, you want it known, do n''t you?"
59126If he is not the criminal?"
59126If he''d said,''has n''t he red hair and freckles?''
59126In it he has written,''Are you a fraud?''
59126Inheritance?
59126Is he?"
59126Is n''t that Courtenay?"
59126Is not that valuable?"
59126It had been really turned off, then?"
59126It helps a little to know you are sorry for me----""How did Orienta read the papers?
59126It is not your business if lights in rooms are turned off or on, is it?"
59126It seems to me, if the spirit of Mr. Stannard could return to earth and manifest itself in any way, it would prove----""Prove what?"
59126It was light then?"
59126It was this, then, that attracted the attention of Mrs. Stannard and Miss Vernon, and they entered at about the same time?"
59126Joyce and I sat facing it----""Your backs to the hall door, then?"
59126Joyce, how could you ever marry him?"
59126Joyce, you agree with me, do n''t you?"
59126Just what do you want to know?"
59126Killed him?"
59126Look here, Joyce, you did n''t employ that woman to cook up a yarn, did you?"
59126Look here, Mr. Roberts, why do n''t you suspect Mr. Truxton?
59126Look here, Natalie, did you know Eric had left you such a big bequest?"
59126May I have a glimpse of it?"
59126May I speak to your outdoor servants?
59126May n''t I kiss you once-- just once, Joyce?"
59126Might n''t she have done it?"
59126Motive?
59126Mrs. Stannard says she heard no other voice, so may he not have been alone in the studio at that time?"
59126Must it be two years?
59126Must it go to strangers?"
59126Natalie, be careful, wo n''t you?"
59126Natalie, have you any idea how beautiful you are?"
59126No proof to adduce that you were just where you claim to have been when the studio was darkened?"
59126Now nobody could have entered at the hall door where you were, Blake?"
59126Now we have accounted for----""What''s the gallery for?"
59126Now, Miss Vernon, when you heard the groan or sigh as if the spirit of Mr. Stannard were expressing itself, where did the sound come from?"
59126Now, brace up, Sweetheart, for I want to talk to you about lots of things, and how can I, if you burst into tears at every new subject I bring up?"
59126Now, did you hear any other sound,--a click or thud,--after the light went out?"
59126Now, how shall we go about proving it?"
59126Now, just to what extent do you_ know_ you''re a psychic?
59126Now, listen; if Joyce killed Eric,--I do n''t say she did, but if she did, why ca n''t we just hush up the matter, and pry into it no more?
59126Now, look here, if that note had been written to me, would n''t it mean that these emeralds were mine, and would n''t I claim them?"
59126Now, once again, which?
59126Now, the question is,_ which_ one?"
59126Now, which of the two acted the part of guilt?
59126Now, which?"
59126Now, who else has these leanings toward spirit forces beside you?
59126Now, why does n''t Mr. Courtenay see her, as he sits on that lawn seat yonder?"
59126Now, why have n''t you made it known?
59126Oh, Joyce, what does it all mean?"
59126Oh, ca n''t you manage somehow?"
59126Oh, what can we do?"
59126Oh, why--_why_ did I ever have Madame Orienta come here?
59126On a chair?"
59126Opportunity?
59126Or, that Joyce, in a jealous rage, had resented the portrait?
59126Past which woman did he go?"
59126Placing his lips to the wall itself, Ford said in a clear low whisper,"Will you come out?"
59126Shall I answer?"
59126Shall I ask him?"
59126Shall I go now?"
59126Shall I ring?"
59126Shall we say this is an invented story of hers?"
59126She insists it was some stranger-- and, it wasn''t-- I mean-- oh-- what am I saying?
59126She ran at once to Mrs. Faulkner''s room----""Where is that room?"
59126She stumbled up the stairs----""Why, did you see her?"
59126She----""Miss Vernon, if you came into the room in the dark, how could you effect an entrance without upsetting something?
59126So wo n''t you stay a while longer, until we see how things are going?
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Stannard?"
59126Still with her eyes closed, she held it out toward him, and read,"''Will the truth ever be known?''"
59126Tell me, do you believe at all in spiritism?"
59126Tell me, wo n''t you?"
59126That Natalie, in a fit of anger at Eric, had destroyed his picture of her?
59126The Coroner almost gasped, but fearing to check the flow of speech that promised so much, he said, quietly,"Did you hear anything further?"
59126The North window is out of the question, eh?"
59126The jewels are here-- isn''t it marvellous, Joyce?
59126The pocket- light method?"
59126The rest you know?"
59126The simplicity of the girl''s manner almost disarmed Bobsy, but he went on:"Mrs. Stannard, then, has no hard feelings toward you?"
59126The studio doors were locked----""While you and Mrs. Stannard were in there?"
59126The two Truxtons went home, and at the same time Mr. Wadsworth and I went up to the Drawing Room----""To be by yourselves?"
59126Then she flew into my room, without knocking----""Is it her custom to knock?"
59126Then she said,"Do n''t spirits ever use material means?"
59126Then somebody, Blake, you know, turned the switch, and I saw Miss Vernon standing by my dying husband''s----""How did you know he was dying?
59126Then what do you want of me?"
59126Then, why was n''t her vision of the-- the scene in the studio, the truth?"
59126There was no sound whatever, was there, Natalie?"
59126This is the first:''Who is Goldenheart?''
59126This is,''Who marred my etched picture?''
59126This was indicative, beyond a doubt; but what was indicated?
59126To whom have you told this story of sitting with your face bowed in the pillow?"
59126Unless,--I hate to say it,--but might n''t Blake have let him out?"
59126VIII The Emeralds"You mean?"
59126Was Mr. Stannard in love with his pretty model?"
59126Was he tyrannical?
59126Was his spirit still hovering about the place it had last been in the flesh?
59126Was it a worthwhile amount?"
59126Was it because you had said something to her that caused her emotion?"
59126Was it on an impulse of sudden anger or indignation?"
59126Was she feeling ill?"
59126Was she innocent or was she an infant Machiavelli?
59126We sat right there by Eric''s chair-- and Eric was present-- we heard him, did n''t we, Joyce?"
59126Well, Blake, which lady do you think did it?"
59126Well, at last, I chanced to be there alone----""Who had been with you latest?"
59126Were n''t your eyes closed?"
59126Were you going to let it pass unnoted?"
59126Were you too absorbed in the spectacle of Mr. Stannard''s plight to see clearly the others who were present?"
59126What about Barry?"
59126What about the words uttered by Mr. Stannard before he died?"
59126What are you going to do, anyway?
59126What can I do?"
59126What can you tell us as to this?"
59126What did you think of your father leaving such an enormous sum to Natalie?"
59126What do you mean, Blake?
59126What do you mean?"
59126What do you mean?"
59126What do you suppose the Police have been doing?
59126What does each of the four think?
59126What else can I call it?"
59126What have you learned that makes you think my testimony of sudden importance?"
59126What is it?"
59126What is it?"
59126What kind of a great detective was this who inquired concerning the texture of a costume?
59126What matter, if Barry Stannard does n''t care?
59126What might they not learn before the evening was over?
59126What shall I do?
59126What was Mrs. Stannard doing, when you left her in the Billiard Room?"
59126What would he learn?
59126What_ are_ you doing?"
59126When I left you, did you keep your head down on that pillow-- or, did you raise it?
59126When can we have an interview with either of them?"
59126When the lights went out, the room was quite still, was it not?"
59126When you came into the studio, because you heard-- what did you hear?"
59126Where are the emeralds?
59126Where are the emeralds?"
59126Where are the other jewels hidden?"
59126Where are you going?"
59126Where did they come from?"
59126Where did you find them, Natalie?"
59126Where did you go next?
59126Where_ did_ I go?"
59126Which first?"
59126Which woman was guilty?
59126Who benefits by this will, aside from the principals?"
59126Who did it?"
59126Who did it?"
59126Who else could it have been?"
59126Who is he?"
59126Who is this man you have in mind?"
59126Who sent for the clairvoyant lady?"
59126Who sent for the clairvoyant?"
59126Who should say which was guilty, the jealous wife or the disappointed girl?
59126Who''d think her capable of such a thing?"
59126Why did n''t her supernatural powers inform her the man''s name?"
59126Why did n''t you tell this before?"
59126Why do you say that?"
59126Why do you stay in a place of such sad memories?"
59126Why do you want to go?"
59126Why not a guest-- or a member of the household,--or-- or Mrs. Stannard, herself?"
59126Why should Barry do it, when he fully intended to marry her?"
59126Why should I see it?"
59126Why should he take an interest in a case because of them?"
59126Why should n''t people light and relight their rooms as they chose?
59126Why should they?
59126Why would he?"
59126Why, if she could tell us who----""Do we want her to?"
59126Why, then, imagine that he would do this desperate thing?"
59126Why, what is the matter, dear?"
59126Why, you''re a kind of a-- how shall I express it?"
59126Why?"
59126Why?"
59126Why?"
59126Why?"
59126Why?"
59126Will you ask questions?"
59126Will you go now, Mrs. Stannard, and please send Miss Vernon in here?"
59126Will you help me?"
59126With scarcely a pause and without hesitation, Orienta went on:"''What can I do to help?''"
59126Wo n''t you refrain from asking it, until after that?"
59126Yet had it been Natalie, would he not have said Goldenrod, especially as he had painted her in that guise?
59126You believe in her supernatural powers?"
59126You believed in her?"
59126You came in through the Billiard Room?"
59126You do n''t mind, do you, Madame Orienta?"
59126You do n''t think Eugene killed Eric, do you?"
59126You do n''t want it, do you?"
59126You entered the studio from the Billiard Room, and saw----?"
59126You have nothing else to tell me?
59126You knew Mr. Stannard years ago?"
59126You knew this?"
59126You know, girl, do n''t you, why I confessed?"
59126You like her?"
59126You must have seen it?"
59126You said you were going upstairs, do n''t you remember?"
59126You saw the footman, Blake, followed by Mrs. Faulkner, enter the room and turn on the light, just as they testified?"
59126You see,--er----""What, Blake?"
59126You see-- it was all so confused----""What was?"
59126You suspected him all the time, did n''t you?"
59126You think I killed Eric----""No, I do n''t, Natalie----But, oh, do n''t you see?
59126You trust me to do only what is best for both of us, do n''t you?"
59126You would n''t have heard any one pass you in the Billiard Room that night, would you, Joyce?"
59126and Natalie clung tremblingly to Barry,"what shall I do?"
59126and''is he tall and dark?''
59126asked Joyce,"and where have you been?"
59126did n''t you hear a faint sound then?
59126he said;"do you realise that it is a grave implication?"
59126said Mrs. Faulkner, looking up from the letter she was writing,"Oh, Joyce, what has happened?"
59126said the Coroner, as gentle toward her now as he had been fierce before,"what does that note to you mean?"
20533''Candide''?
20533''Jer want?
20533''Oo are_ you_?
20533A bonehead?
20533A fire?
20533A man on the train this morning said to me,''Would you care for the morning paper, sister?'' 20533 A policeman?"
20533A sensitive girl like Jill?
20533About the piece?
20533Absolutely off?
20533Age?
20533All alone?
20533All right?
20533All the same,she said, smiling a difficult smile,"it would be nice to get out, would n''t it?"
20533All this has n''t happened, and we''re just as good pals as before?
20533Am I in time?
20533Am I the last or the first or what?
20533Am I? 20533 Am I?
20533Am I?
20533Am I?
20533Amalgamated Dyes?
20533An old lady?
20533And it''s all right, eh? 20533 And later on, I suppose, you would like a chop or something to take away in your pocket?"
20533And now, let me see, whom shall we invite?
20533And one so rarely hears musicianly music nowadays, does one?
20533And the chor-- the-- er-- ladies of the ensemble? 20533 And what has what you would prefer got to do with it?"
20533And what will you do when the real owner of the place walks in in the middle of dinner?
20533And you are the small bachelor?
20533And yours, sir?
20533And, in the name of heaven, what does it matter? 20533 Angry?"
20533Anxious to get rid of me, are n''t you? 20533 Any answer, Jill?"
20533Are n''t you going to_ do_ something?
20533Are we going in the right direction? 20533 Are you broke?"
20533Are you crazy?
20533Are you going to do that often, Wally?
20533Are you going up- town?
20533Are you ill?
20533Are you married?
20533Are you sure you can spare it?
20533Are you sure,said Uncle Chris seriously,"that it is only that?
20533Are you sure?
20533Are_ you_ nervous?
20533Backed a loser?
20533Because Mae D''Arcy has got her notice?
20533Because of Underhill?
20533Bill?
20533Bit choppy, I suppose, what?
20533But Sir Derek has his own money, has n''t he? 20533 But did n''t you think he was good last night?"
20533But how about my trunk?
20533But how do you ever find out that a waiter has_ got_ lumbago?
20533But how do you know him?
20533But how on earth could you afford to pay for an apartment in a place like that?
20533But how?
20533But what are you doing here?
20533But what do you live on?
20533But what do you want with work?
20533But what is he doing here?
20533But what makes you think so? 20533 But what makes you think so?"
20533But what on earth made Freddie join the company at all?
20533But when did you come over?
20533But when did you go to America? 20533 But why are n''t you playing?"
20533But why did n''t you stay down at Brookport with your Uncle Elmer?
20533But why is n''t he here? 20533 But why should Derek care whether Jill was well off or not?
20533But why...? 20533 But why?
20533But you are n''t in the office now?
20533But, all joking aside, suppose I was to go up to twenty- five thousand...?
20533But, as I was saying, Mrs. Peagrim, may I have the pleasure of this dance?
20533But, my dear old thing,said Freddie earnestly,"if you''ve nothing to keep you in England, why not pop back to America?
20533But-- but does n''t the house belong to me?
20533But-- do you know him? 20533 But-- do you mean...?"
20533But-- then you''ve lost a great deal of money?
20533But-- won''t you come back to England?
20533But... but you knew I lived here?
20533Ca n''t you see he''s hurting the poor thing? 20533 Ca n''t you see the place is afire?"
20533Ca n''t you see the thing is the biggest hit in years? 20533 Ca n''t you understand a girl in my position not being able to make up her mind whether she loves a man or despises him?"
20533Ca n''t you understand, Freddie? 20533 Christopher Selby?
20533Christopher?
20533Cold?
20533Come along?
20533Could you make it a little easier?
20533Could you tell me,she asked,"when the next train is to New York?"
20533Could you?
20533Curse? 20533 Derek?
20533Derek? 20533 Derek?"
20533Did he?
20533Did n''t I tell you about that?
20533Did n''t you hear what I said? 20533 Did n''t you know?
20533Did she give you the raspberry?
20533Did they have words?
20533Did you cop?
20533Did you ever read''Candide,''Uncle Chris?
20533Did you ever see such a bunch?
20533Did you go down to Ike, as I told you?
20533Did you have a pleasant trip?
20533Did you try the stuff I recommended?
20533Did you?
20533Did you_ write_ the play?
20533Did_ you_ hear anything about a fire?
20533Did_ you_?
20533Do I know her?
20533Do n''t mind if I smoke, do you? 20533 Do n''t you remember sharing one of your father''s cigars with me behind the haystack in the meadow?
20533Do n''t you remember the garden- hose? 20533 Do you know where little boys go who do n''t speak the truth?
20533Do you mean to say...?
20533Do you mean you''ve made a bloomer of some kind?
20533Do you remember that?
20533Do you remember, Jill, years ago, when you were quite small, how I used to blow smoke in your face?
20533Do you remember? 20533 Do you still?"
20533Do you think her ladyship means to come between them and wreck their romance?
20533Do you think there would be any chance for me if I asked for work at Goble and Cohn''s?
20533Do you think they will be able to put it out?
20533Do you want it? 20533 Do you wish to stop and see the conflagration?"
20533Eh, what?
20533Eh? 20533 Eh?
20533Eh? 20533 Eh?
20533Eh?
20533Eh?
20533Eh?
20533Eh?
20533Eh?
20533Er-- you_ do_ realize that I''m bespoke, do n''t you, and that my heart, alas, is another''s? 20533 Er...?"
20533Ever played a part before?
20533Ever seen a couple of strange dogs watching each other sort of wary? 20533 Everything?"
20533Father''s in the pigstye, you can tell him by his hat, eh?
20533Fifty- pound note?
20533Finished, Freddie?
20533For me?
20533For the better?
20533Fourteen years ago?
20533Freddie, what are you doing here?
20533Freddie?
20533Garden- hose?
20533Ghastly hour, what? 20533 Given it up, eh?
20533Given it up?
20533Going strong? 20533 Good?"
20533Got a cigarette, Freddie?
20533Had breakfast?
20533Has he said anything about the piece?
20533Has he?
20533Has n''t she got a limousine?
20533Have I been asleep?
20533Have they gone, Horace?
20533Have you been there?
20533Have you come over on business?
20533Have you come to meet somebody?
20533Have you ever had lumbago?
20533Have you ever heard of Captain Kidd?
20533Have you ever seen my Uncle Elmer?
20533Have you felt that, too? 20533 Have you got any pepsin?"
20533Have you seen Miss Mariner?
20533Have you thought what it would mean?
20533He broke it off because of that?
20533He has been badly treated, has n''t he?
20533He picked up some poison, poor darling.... How long ago those days seem, do n''t they?
20533He wants to marry you?
20533He went in there, of course?
20533He''s a bit of a nut, that lad, what? 20533 He''s... what did you say?"
20533Headache?
20533Heard what?
20533Hello?
20533Her ladyship will be meeting Miss Mariner for the first time, sir?
20533Here, do you mean? 20533 Here?"
20533Honetht?
20533Hope I''m not barging in and all that sort of thing? 20533 How are you, Freddie, my boy?"
20533How are you, Major Selby?
20533How can I? 20533 How can you doubt it?"
20533How could I consult you? 20533 How did her ladyship seem to hit it off with Miss Mariner, Horace?"
20533How do you do, Lady Underhill?
20533How do you do?
20533How do you do?
20533How do you do?
20533How do you know?
20533How do you mean, painful?
20533How do you mean, warning?
20533How do you mean, which line? 20533 How long have you been here?"
20533How much would you want?
20533How not?
20533How was business in Baltimore?
20533How_ do_ you manage to get such a wonderful crease? 20533 Howja spell it once more?"
20533Howja spell it?
20533Hugh?
20533Huh?
20533Hullo?
20533I agreed to let her open in New York, and she''s done it, has n''t she? 20533 I beg your pardon?"
20533I beg your pardon?
20533I know it''s not worth mentioning, and it''s breaking our agreement to mention it, but you_ do_ understand, do n''t you?
20533I know you are going to be a millionaire next Tuesday week, but how are you getting along in the meantime?
20533I mean to say, you know...."What? 20533 I say,"Ronny had said,"have you heard the latest?
20533I see many things, but which is the funny one?
20533I shall-- ah-- how shall I put it--?
20533I started something, did n''t I? 20533 I suppose we had better be moving?"
20533I suppose you are tired after the rehearsal?
20533I suppose you know you look perfectly wonderful in that dress? 20533 I suppose,"he said,"there is no doubt...?"
20533I take it that you wrote to her about Jill?
20533I wanted to speak...."You wanted to speak to me?
20533I''ll see you when you get back?
20533I''m sorry this should have happened, but you''ve nothing to complain about now, have you? 20533 If you do n''t mind waiting for about three minutes while I have a shower and dress....""Oh, is the entertainment over?"
20533In the chorus?
20533In time?
20533Indeed, sir?
20533Indeed?
20533Is Mr. Pilkington here?
20533Is he?
20533Is it true she has gone to America, Freddie?
20533Is n''t it enough to make me get the wind up, as you call it, when you say absurd things like that?
20533Is she very angry with me?
20533Is that Sir Derek Underhill, whose name one''s always seeing in the papers?
20533Is that so?
20533Is that the solemn truth?
20533Is the music good, Mithter Thalzburg?
20533Is there an answer, miss?
20533Is there another?
20533Is this where you live?
20533It got to Christian names, eh?
20533It is pretty terrible, is n''t it?
20533It is, is it?
20533It is?
20533It would be nice if you would do it every night, do n''t you think? 20533 It would be very awkward, would n''t it?"
20533Jear that?
20533Jill, eh?
20533Jill, is it bad news?
20533Jill, you do n''t mind telling me how you got ten thousand dollars, do you?
20533Jill?
20533Jolly place, this, is n''t it?
20533Let me get you to the taxi and take you to the hotel.... What do you want to know about Jill?
20533Look round?
20533Lost her money? 20533 Lost my money?"
20533Major Selby?
20533May I have the pleasure...?
20533May I...?
20533Maybe we did n''t gool''em, eh? 20533 Me?"
20533Me?
20533Mine? 20533 Miss Mariner, I believe?"
20533Miss Trevor?
20533Mr. Pilkington in?
20533Must I?
20533My career as a manager did n''t last long, did it?
20533My smash?
20533My what, old son?
20533Need we bring Underhill in?
20533New York?
20533No bad news, I hope, dear?
20533No?
20533Not sound romantic? 20533 Not the words?"
20533Nothing stirs?
20533Now what is it, Miss Trevor?
20533Now what?
20533Of course I could n''t expect him to do anything that might interfere with his career, could I?
20533Off?
20533Oh, I say, you know, what?
20533Oh, did you go down there, too?
20533Oh, did you see this?
20533Oh, do you know him, too, Major Selby?
20533Oh, just a little... what shall I say? 20533 Oh, must you go already?"
20533Oh, new?
20533Oh, so you do n''t like it? 20533 Oh, that was it?"
20533Oh, then you live in America?
20533Oh, yes?
20533Oh, you remember him?
20533Oh, you were at school with him?
20533Oh, you will think about it?
20533Oh, you''re stuck on her, are you?
20533Oh, your intellectual friend Mr. Rooke knows her?
20533Oh,_ that_ fellow? 20533 Oh,_ you_ engaged her?"
20533Oh? 20533 Oh?"
20533One and a half per cent for fixing a show like this? 20533 Or Oakes?"
20533Or-- Charlie-- Charlie what was it?--Charlie Field?
20533Part? 20533 Pepsin?"
20533Perhaps you would be kind enough to tell me just how you think that part should be played?
20533Pipped?
20533Polly want a nut?
20533Poor old thing?
20533Pretty fit?
20533Proposing to Mrs. Peagrim? 20533 Push the bell, old man, will you?
20533Put up the money for that ghastly play? 20533 Really?"
20533Really?
20533Rotten? 20533 Rush of jolly old professional engagements, what?"
20533Say, what is this, anyway? 20533 Scowling?
20533See that everything is all right, will you? 20533 Selby?
20533Shall I strike this man?
20533Shall we go and dance? 20533 Shall we start, then?"
20533Sir?
20533Sir?
20533So our talk sort of goes over the top, does it? 20533 So that''s it, what?
20533So you buzzed out of the fiery furnace all right? 20533 Some people called... what was the name?...
20533Something on your mind, old bean?
20533Something wrong with the old tum?
20533Strike?
20533Surprised to see me?
20533Tea? 20533 Tell me, Uncle Chris,"she said,"just how bad is it?
20533That lunch at Oddy''s that young Threepwood gave, what?
20533That_ was_ Freddie Rooke, was n''t it? 20533 Thay, what are you doing in the chorus, anyway?"
20533The Automat?
20533The best what?
20533The girls?
20533The how- much? 20533 The man you told me you had been talking to?
20533The man you''re engaged to marry? 20533 The pirate?
20533The preliminaries?
20533The sequel?
20533The speech about Omar Khayyám?
20533The what- ho- something?
20533The whole company came from New York, did n''t they?
20533Theatre?
20533Then I take it it''s all right, eh?
20533Then Underhill...?
20533Then how on earth did you get here?
20533Then what made you give it up? 20533 Then what''s the good of talking?"
20533Then what?
20533Then why did n''t she meet me?
20533Then you do n''t mind Uncle Chris giving his dinner- party here to- night?
20533Then you mean...?
20533There is a rehearsal called for the ensemble at-- when is it, Rolie?
20533There you are, my dear?
20533There''s been an awful slump on the Stock Exchange to- day, and he got-- what was the word, Freddie?
20533They do deserve it, do n''t they, after working so hard?
20533They have what?
20533They think I behaved badly?
20533This is your first show, ithn''t it?
20533Tibby, darling, would n''t it be nice if you and cousin Jill played a game of pretending you were pioneers in the Far West?
20533Uncle Chris? 20533 Uncle Chris?"
20533Waiting for someone?
20533Wally, you would n''t want me to marry you if you knew you were n''t the only man in the world that mattered to me, would you?
20533Was I? 20533 Was Wally-- was Mr. Mason there?"
20533Was n''t that part an Englishman before?
20533Was wondering,said Freddie,"if you would mind if I brought a friend of mine along?
20533Well, I do n''t suppose they are very good judges, are they?
20533Well, Underhill, my dear fellow,began Uncle Chris affably, attaching himself to the other''s arm,"what...?"
20533Well, am I refined enough, do you think?
20533Well, as a matter of fact, my name''s Rooke...."And who,pursued Henry,"arsked_ you_ to come shoving your ugly mug in''ere?"
20533Well, might as well be here as anywhere, what?
20533Well, there''s no need to dance, is there?
20533Well, they are doing it to someone, are n''t they,said Wally,"and, if it''s not you, who is it?"
20533Well, what about it?
20533Well, where did you meet Miss Mariner?
20533Well,he said, mastering with difficulty an inclination to raise his voice to a shout,"perhaps you will kindly explain?"
20533Well... well, why did you? 20533 Well?"
20533Well?
20533Well?
20533Well?
20533Well?
20533Well?
20533Went well, eh?
20533Were you speaking to me?
20533What about him?
20533What are they saying?
20533What are you doing here?
20533What are you doing here?
20533What are you going to do, Uncle Chris?
20533What are you going to do?
20533What are you going to_ do_?
20533What are you h''ming about?
20533What can I do?
20533What could be sweeter?
20533What did he say?
20533What did n''t take you in?
20533What did that girl want?
20533What did you say?
20533What did you say?
20533What did you say?
20533What did you say?
20533What did you say?
20533What difficulty?
20533What do Martyn and the others say about... you know?
20533What do you mean you own the piece?
20533What do you mean?
20533What do you mean?
20533What do you mean?
20533What do you mean?
20533What do you mean?
20533What do you suppose my mother thought? 20533 What do you think of it?"
20533What does this mean? 20533 What else could I do?
20533What has she got to do with it?
20533What have I ever done that the sternest critic could call rummy?
20533What have you been saying to the poor boy to cheer him up so? 20533 What is it?
20533What is it? 20533 What is it?"
20533What is it_ now_?
20533What is my age? 20533 What is the matter?"
20533What it would mean?
20533What of it? 20533 What on earth for?"
20533What ought I to do, Wally? 20533 What shall I do?"
20533What shall I do?
20533What sort of a show is this?
20533What sort of crossing did you have, mother?
20533What success_ have_ you achieved?
20533What the devil has it got to do with you?
20533What the devil''s the matter?
20533What was he saying to you?
20533What was it, then?
20533What was that that guy said? 20533 What was that?
20533What was the first name?
20533What was the name again?
20533What was the name of that place again?
20533What was the precise ritual? 20533 What would you do with it?"
20533What would you like me to read?
20533What''s a pioneer?
20533What''s all on again?
20533What''s all this?
20533What''s money?
20533What''s that?
20533What''s that?
20533What''s the good of splitting straws?
20533What''s the matter, Uncle Chris? 20533 What''s the matter?
20533What''s the matter?
20533What''s the matter?
20533What''s the time?
20533What''s the use, Freddie, between old pals?
20533What''s this?
20533What''s up?
20533What''s wrong with it? 20533 What''s wrong with it?"
20533What''s_ your_ name? 20533 What''ud we do?"
20533What?
20533What?
20533What?
20533What?
20533What?
20533What_ is_ it?
20533Whatever are you doing here?
20533Whatever are you doing in New York?
20533Whatever are_ you_ doing here?
20533When did they leave?
20533When did you decide to do that?
20533When did you land in New York?
20533When it was first performed...."Oh, has it been done before?
20533When this binge is over... when the rehearsal finishes, you know, how about a bite to eat?
20533When?
20533When?
20533When?
20533Where are you going now?
20533Where are you going?
20533Where are you, dammit?
20533Where did Uncle Chris go?
20533Where did you get her?
20533Where is Underhill?
20533Where''s Sir Chester Portwood?
20533Where''s home?
20533Where_ did_ you get that?
20533Whereabouts?
20533Which fox- trot?
20533Which line?
20533Which of them is giving free trips? 20533 Who cares?"
20533Who cares?
20533Who engaged you?
20533Who is he, Nelly? 20533 Who is she?"
20533Who is this girl?
20533Who the hell''s Mae D''Arcy?
20533Who told you to butt in?
20533Who was she?
20533Who''s running this show, anyway?
20533Who''s''we''?
20533Who,enquired Jill, anxious to be abreast of the conversation,"is Ike?"
20533Who? 20533 Whoever is that?"
20533Whose idea''s this?
20533Why Mr. Goble particularly?
20533Why are n''t these girls working?
20533Why are we wasting time? 20533 Why are you bringing Underhill to this party?
20533Why did I want it put on? 20533 Why did I?
20533Why did n''t he join with the rest of the company? 20533 Why did n''t you put it on in New York?"
20533Why did you tell her to do that?
20533Why do n''t you get married?
20533Why do n''t you try asking her riddles?
20533Why do n''t you?
20533Why do you suppose I''ve been talking such a lot? 20533 Why does n''t he know the steps?
20533Why not? 20533 Why not?"
20533Why not?
20533Why should n''t I walk straight in and say that I''ve come for work?
20533Why the devil is he new?
20533Why were Miss Mariner and Mr. Rooke arrested, Barker?
20533Why, old man, you''ve heard me speak of him, have n''t you? 20533 Why, who is he?
20533Why? 20533 Why?"
20533Why?
20533Why?
20533Wo n''t you join me?
20533Woddyer mean, sting me? 20533 Woddyerwant?"
20533Worried?
20533Wot''s all this about a fire?
20533Wot''s on my mind? 20533 Wot,''i m?"
20533Would I remember your name if you told me?
20533Write to me?
20533Write, eh?
20533Yes, miss?
20533Yes, ought n''t he?
20533Yes, sir?
20533Yes? 20533 Yes?
20533Yes? 20533 Yes?"
20533Yes?
20533Yes?
20533Yes?
20533Yes?
20533Yes?
20533Yes?
20533Yes?
20533Yes?
20533Yes?
20533Yes?
20533You are n''t Bobby Morrison?
20533You are n''t going already?
20533You are n''t going to open the door?
20533You are n''t going to?
20533You are n''t really going?
20533You bought it?
20533You considered that a fortunate occurrence, did you?
20533You do love old Derek, do n''t you? 20533 You do n''t know?"
20533You do n''t mean that you have done it already?
20533You do n''t think I am making a mistake marrying you?
20533You have n''t heard?
20533You have n''t seen Jill yet, of course?
20533You know what a girl is, do n''t you?
20533You mean they do not like it?
20533You met him?
20533You remember the address? 20533 You said you were going to marry_ me_?"
20533You see, coming down to it, the thing was more or less his fault, what?
20533You speculated?
20533You surely are n''t on their side?
20533You think I''m altruistic? 20533 You think it will need fixing?"
20533You think it wise?
20533You think so, eh?
20533You think so?
20533You think there''s a chance that she might overlook what I said?
20533You were faithful to my memory?
20533You were n''t expecting me?
20533You were saying...?
20533You wish it?
20533You wrote it?
20533You''ll come and see us, wo n''t you?
20533You''ll have some tea before you go, wo n''t you?
20533You''ll let me know if you scare up some devilish fruity wheeze, wo n''t you? 20533 You''ll think I told you all about myself just-- just because I wanted to....""To make a touch?
20533You''re American, then?
20533You''re English, are n''t you?
20533You''re from the other side, are n''t you?
20533You''re spoofing, are n''t you? 20533 You''re very fond of Derek, are n''t you, Jill?"
20533You''re wandering from the point, are n''t you?
20533You''re what?
20533You?
20533Your name, please, and address, miss?
20533_ Not_ the Automat to- day, I_ think_, what? 20533 $ 105.50?
20533''Dashed shame, is n''t it?''
20533''Did she break it off?''
20533''Not_ the_ Jill Mariner?''
20533''Oh, do you know Underhill?''
20533''Why pay rent?
20533( What''s this?
20533( What?
20533--would you do it?"
20533A concert?"
20533A slight celebration is indicated, what?
20533About her losing her money and coming over to America?"
20533After all, what the devil did it matter how she came to be here?
20533All right?
20533And Algy''s sister and a lot of peoples They''re all saying....""What are they saying?"
20533And Jill''s in that?"
20533And did n''t you find that the only possible thing to do was to work and work and work as hard as ever you could?
20533And he has been saying something about...?"
20533And is n''t he getting his share of the profits?
20533And the next article?''"
20533And what am I to do?"
20533And why should there always be Wally?
20533And why?
20533And why?"
20533And you''re on the stage, are n''t you?"
20533And, I mean to say, well, if you follow what I''m driving at, what, what?"
20533And, as a pal, may I offer you my bank- roll?"
20533Are any of you girls coming my way?
20533Are n''t you starving?"
20533Are the festivities likely to be over by then?
20533Are we not missing a good thing?''
20533Are you aware of the things that can happen to you if you allow the red corpuscles of your blood to become devitalised?
20533Are you fond of walking?"
20533Are you sure that your vitality has not become generally lowered by the fierce rush of Metropolitan life?
20533At the station?
20533At this hour?"
20533Besides, what on earth could Lady Underhill find to object to in me?
20533Besides, why should I care?
20533But do you suppose the path of true love is going to run smooth, for all that?
20533But it wo n''t do any good, so what''s the use?"
20533But let us say for the sake of argument that you put up-- what shall we say?--a hundred thousand?
20533But perhaps you''re too tired for conversation?"
20533But what about the book?"
20533But what aspect of myself do you wish me to touch on?
20533But what does it matter?
20533But what''s the good, if you want the earth?"
20533But why did you do it?
20533But will the author stand for it?"
20533But, honestly, how was I to know?
20533But, if you think you will really have enough...?"
20533But, when we are married....""Do you really want to marry me?"
20533But....""It hurt?"
20533By the way, am I wrong or did I hear something about a theatrical entertainment of some sort here to- night?"
20533By the way, how is your uncle?"
20533By the way, you got those seats for that theatre to- night?"
20533By the way,"--he paused for an almost imperceptible instant--"is it still?"
20533By the way,"he went on,"to return once more to the interesting subject of my lodger, does your uncle sleep here at nights, do you know?"
20533Ca n''t you feel it on the back of your head?"
20533Ca n''t you see I''m busy?"
20533Can I sit down?"
20533Can you ever forgive me?"
20533Cigarette?
20533Cigarettes?
20533Come now....""Is there anything in it as good as that waltz of yours you played us when we were rehearthing''Mind How You Go?''
20533Conscience?"
20533Could n''t you see that I had stopped dictating and was searching for a phrase?
20533Could she avoid meeting Freddie?
20533Could she ever forgive him?
20533Could this be love?
20533Daresay you''ve forgotten you have an Uncle Elmer, eh?"
20533Did I make much noise coming in?"
20533Did n''t you tell him that Jill would be here to- night?"
20533Did n''t you thee Wally Mason in front, making notes?
20533Did you find it?"
20533Did you really?"
20533Did you see it by any chance?
20533Did you try Nervino?
20533Do n''t you realize that poor Jill will be there?
20533Do n''t you think it''s perfectly darling, Major Selby?"
20533Do something?
20533Do you feel more rested now?"
20533Do you imagine...?"
20533Do you know her?
20533Do you like it?"
20533Do you mean Derek''s mother?
20533Do you mean...?"
20533Do you remember Freddie Rooke, who was at our house that afternoon?"
20533Do you remember giving me a letter from him at Rochester?
20533Do you smoke?"
20533Do you think Jesse James here would be offering you a cent for your share if he did n''t know there was a fortune in it?
20533Do you think she will be pipped?"
20533Do you think you could be going ahead and getting a taxi?"
20533Do you understand?"
20533Do?
20533Do?
20533Does Miss Mariner open in New York or does she not?"
20533Does he often get the wind up like this?"
20533Ever met any?
20533Exactly how do we stand?"
20533Fine?
20533Forgetting I''m not your private shovoor, was n''t you?"
20533Goble?"
20533Goble?"
20533Good God, Freddie, have you no delicacy?"
20533Gossip?"
20533Had a chorus ever done such a thing?
20533Had n''t Freddie heard?
20533Has Mrs. Barker got something very good for dinner?"
20533Have I been squashing your poor arm all the time?
20533Have n''t I said that I could explain all that?
20533Have n''t you ever had a terrible shock or a dreadful disappointment that seemed to smash up the whole world?
20533Have n''t you ever heard that the dividing line between love and hate is just a thread?
20533Have n''t you seen them popping about?
20533Have you ever broken an arm or a leg, Freddie?"
20533Have you ever done a murder?
20533Have you ever heard of Nervino?"
20533Have you ever noticed how slowly time goes when you are coaxing a shilling and a sixpence out of somebody''s money- box?
20533Have you ever noticed what whacking big cigars these fellows over here smoke?
20533Have you forgotten that Charlie Field wore velvet Lord Fauntleroy suits and long golden curls?
20533Have you?"
20533He closed his eyes and pondered on his favourite problem-- Why was he a parrot?
20533He did n''t say anything for a bit, then he said''Off?''
20533He had a wife and children, and, if dadda went under with apoplexy, what became of the home, civilization''s most sacred product?
20533He has invited a very rich woman, who has been showing him a lot of hospitality-- a Mrs. Peagrim....""Mrs. Waddesleigh Peagrim?"
20533He sent you to fetch me?"
20533He....""Could n''t you keep your Impressions of America for the book you''re going to write, and come to the point?"
20533Here you will see an ambassador with a fever....''""With a_ what_?"
20533How about Mr. Mason?
20533How about it?
20533How are you feeling?
20533How are you feeling?"
20533How are your chilblains?"
20533How can I put on chorus numbers if I am saddled every day with new people to teach?
20533How can he have heard about what''s happened?
20533How could a man like Derek be under anybody''s thumb?"
20533How could he?"
20533How did it go off?"
20533How did you know that that was the one hat in New York I wanted you to wear?"
20533How do you suppose she will feel when she sees that blackguard again?
20533How else could Uncle Chris have got the money?"
20533How is your insomnia, by the way?
20533How many years ago had that been?
20533How much would these people Goble and Cohn give me if I got an engagement?"
20533How would you like somebody to ask of you if you knew a man named Jenkins in London?"
20533How''s everybody at home?
20533However, do n''t you think the most sensible thing is for you to wait till you meet her at dinner to- night, and then you can form your own opinion?
20533I daresay you have noticed that I have gone out of my way during the voyage to make myself agreeable to our fellow- travellers?
20533I mean to say, you know what I mean,_ love_ him and all that sort of rot?"
20533I mean, I do n''t know much about this sort of thing, but do you think it''s the sort of thing Jill ought to be doing?"
20533I mean, of course I''m awfully sorry you''ve lost your money, but it makes it all the easier for us to be real pals, do n''t you think so?"
20533I mean, there will be time for me to have a bite of breakfast?"
20533I mean, what?"
20533I mean, what?"
20533I mean... had he come specially to see you?"
20533I said,''No doubt you have a thousand agents in the city, but have you one who does not look like an agent and wo n''t talk like an agent?
20533I say,"said Freddie, wandering off once more into speculation,"why is it that coves like that always talk of a girl as''the little lady''?
20533I suddenly seemed to look myself squarely in the eyeball and say to myself,''Freddie, old top, how do we go?
20533I suppose you''re surprised to find me in New York, what?"
20533I take it the mater was a trifle peeved?
20533I think we might celebrate this re- union with a little supper, do n''t you?"
20533I''ve been a bad girl, have n''t I?"
20533If an old friend ca n''t behave like an old friend, how_ can_ an old friend behave?
20533If she did not know he lived in this place, how in the name of everything uncanny had she found her way here?
20533If you could n''t gyp a bone- headed amateur out of a piece of property, whom could you gyp?
20533If you will excuse me for a moment?"
20533If you''re as deceitful as this at your age, what do you expect to be when you grow up?
20533Is Derek Underhill in America?"
20533Is Sir Derek up yet, Barker?"
20533Is Sir Derek''s cab here?"
20533Is he always like this?"
20533Is it a go?"
20533Is it my face you object to, or my manners, or my figure?
20533Is n''t he a friend of yours?"
20533Is n''t my figuar all right, Freddie?"
20533Is something interesting going on behind me?"
20533Is that another of your morning exercises?
20533Is that clear?"
20533Is there anything I can do for you, Miss Mariner?"
20533Is there anything I can do?"
20533It is enough to make the success of any musical play, but can I get a hearing?
20533It will take you back to New York, what?
20533It''s a great old country, is n''t it?"
20533It''s a partnership, and what''s the good of a partnership if your heart''s not in it?
20533It''s a pity you had n''t that garden- hose of yours with you, is n''t it?"
20533Jill, do n''t you hate me?"
20533John Grant?
20533Johnny?"
20533Just artistic loathing of the rotten piece, or is there some other reason?"
20533Kind''earts are more than coronets and simple faith than Norman blood, are n''t they?"
20533Let''s take this table, shall we?"
20533Looking at it from every angle, a bit of a good egg, what?
20533May I introduce Mr. Roland Trevis?"
20533Met him?"
20533Much the same as any of the other places, is n''t it?"
20533My darling, precious uncle, do n''t you realize that you had vanished into thin air, leaving me penniless?
20533My dear child, whatever induced you to take such a step?"
20533My heart bleeds for Freddie, but what can one do?
20533My thoughts, my tastes, my amusements, my career, or what?
20533Nobody here yet?"
20533Not Christopher Selby?"
20533Not even singed?
20533Not to say perturbed and chagrined?
20533Of course you will come?"
20533Oh, Freddie had met her and she had told him she was going to America?
20533Oh, I see, you mean which line?
20533Oh, Selby?"
20533Oh, well, that''s rather off the rails, is n''t it?
20533Oh, you mean Underhill?"
20533Oh, your uncle?"
20533Or Rooke and Bryant, the cross- talk team, a thoroughly refined act, swell dressers on and off?"
20533Otie, dear, ca n''t you suggest a good phrase?
20533Otie, what is a good phrase for''I am told''?"
20533Our young hero_ is_ making pretty hefty strides in his chosen profesh, what?
20533Peagrim.--"Have you never felt,"babbled Uncle Chris,"that, feeling as I feel, I might have felt... that is to say might be feeling a feeling...?"
20533Peagrim?"
20533Peagrim?"
20533Perhaps you will excuse me?
20533Pilkington?"
20533Pretty sick, I''ll bet, what?
20533Quite a time ago, eh?
20533Rooke?"
20533Rooke?"
20533Rooke?"
20533Said he,''Oh, my queen, is it manners you mean, or do you allude to my fig- u- ar?''
20533Salmon?
20533Saltzburg?"
20533Say, who are these Gilbert and Sullivan guys, anyway?
20533See it?
20533See you later, I suppose?"
20533See?"
20533Selby?
20533Shall I come along, too?"
20533Shall I take you back to wherever you''re staying?
20533Shall we creep sombrely out into the night?"
20533Shall we say good- night?
20533She lives with her uncle, a Major Selby....""Major Selby?
20533She sat back, thinking.... After all, what else was she to do?
20533Sir Derek can afford to do what he pleases, ca n''t he?"
20533Somebody you do n''t want to meet?"
20533Sort of get a chappie into training for going to heaven, what?
20533Speak up, ca n''t you?"
20533Still here?"
20533Suppose there were no Wally...?
20533Suppose there were no Wally?...
20533Surely I was n''t mistaken?"
20533Tell me, do you see the same thing I see?"
20533Tell me, where and how did you meet this girl?"
20533Thay, why did you ever get into the show business?"
20533The Juggling Rookes?
20533The audience sat up on its hind legs and squealed, did n''t they?"
20533The fellow who scraped acquaintance with you between the acts?"
20533The good old boat wobbled a bit, eh?"
20533The other girls do, so why should n''t I?"
20533Their ignorance is-- what is the word I want?
20533There was once a melodrama where the child of the persecuted heroine used to dissolve the gallery in tears by saying"Happiness?
20533These things happened, and you regretted them, but as for doing anything, well, what_ could_ you do?
20533This_ is_ Eighteen East Fifty- seventh Street?"
20533Wally Mason-- teased me?"
20533Was I?
20533Was he to crush Mrs. Peagrim in his arms?
20533We had got as far as the jovial old human bloodhound, had n''t we?
20533We''ll go there, shall we?"
20533We''ll make a double wedding of it, what?
20533We''ve met before, what?"
20533Well, Augustus, what''s on your mind?"
20533Well, I ask you, my boy, can you see her making any objection?
20533Well, after that, what could anyone say against me?
20533Well, if it came to that, why not?
20533Well, used you to hit it, and twist it, and prod it, or did you leave it alone to try and heal?
20533Were n''t costumes clothing?
20533Were n''t you held over at the Palace last time?
20533What am I up against?"
20533What are notices to me?"
20533What are those things you''re eating?"
20533What are we stopping for?"
20533What are you supposed to lock up?"
20533What are you talking about?"
20533What could I have done?"
20533What do they think of the piece?"
20533What do you mean?"
20533What do you mean?"
20533What do you suppose she thought?"
20533What do you think of it?"
20533What does it matter?"
20533What else is there for me to do?
20533What has happened?"
20533What is it?
20533What is it?
20533What is it?
20533What is it?"
20533What is it?"
20533What is your contribution?''
20533What name shall I say?"
20533What regiment?"
20533What shall we do- oo- oo?"
20533What shall we do?"
20533What shall we talk about?"
20533What she ought to have said, he did not know, but he knew that it was not"Yes?"
20533What was I talking about?
20533What was to be done about it?
20533What was"Cuts...$ 15"?
20533What were you going to say?"
20533What would it be worth to you to have me hint from time to time at dinner parties and so forth that Nervino is the rich man''s panacea?''
20533What''s money?"
20533What''s the matter with my popping over to America and finding Jill?"
20533What''s the matter with you?
20533What''s the trouble?"
20533What''s the use of talking any more?
20533What''s up?
20533What''s your name?"
20533What, he broke off to ask, did Pilkington think of the idea?
20533What, he enquired-- through the medium of a clever drooping of the mouth and a shrug of the shoulders-- was to be done about it?
20533What?"
20533What_ is_ happiness, moth- aw?"
20533What_ is_ it?
20533When did you arrive?"
20533When you said everything was gone, did you really mean everything, or were you being melodramatic?
20533When?
20533Where are the cigarettes?
20533Where are the comics, and why are n''t they opping?"
20533Where are they?"
20533Where can I find you afterwards?"
20533Where did you get ten thousand dollars?"
20533Where did you meet this fellow?"
20533Where do you get that legitimate stuff?
20533Where do you pick up such expressions?
20533Where does she come from?
20533Where shall we go?"
20533Where was I?
20533Where was the sense of it?
20533Where''s the harm in lending a hand-- or, rather, an arm-- to a pal in trouble?"
20533Where''s the nearest fire?
20533Where''s the sense of hanging around and getting stalled?
20533Where?"
20533Which reminds me that we have been some time settling down to an exchange of our childish reminiscences, have n''t we?"
20533Who are her people?
20533Who cares?
20533Who engaged him?"
20533Who engaged you?"
20533Who is this blue- eyed boy?"
20533Who is to sing the opening chorus?"
20533Who the devil_ is_ Ronny Devereux?"
20533Who was going to foot the bill?
20533Who''s...?
20533Why are n''t you in bed?"
20533Why did n''t you move?"
20533Why did n''t you say''bawled out by Johnny''?
20533Why did n''t you tell me that Jill was in the chorus of this damned piece?"
20533Why did you write to me from that place on Fifty- seventh Street if you were n''t there?"
20533Why do n''t you take Sir Derek and give him a cup of coffee?"
20533Why does anybody?"
20533Why does one forget things?"
20533Why not give me the jolly old scenario and see if we ca n''t do something?"
20533Why not let your spine stay where it is instead of having it kicked up through your hat?
20533Why not?"
20533Why on earth are you so afraid of mother?"
20533Why on earth ith Ike putting it on?"
20533Why should he have to pay twice over for the same thing?
20533Why should people flock to pay for seats for what are practically dress- rehearsals of an unknown play?
20533Why should you go on living this sort of life, when.... Why wo n''t you let me...?"
20533Why spoil your meal because of this?
20533Why were n''t you at Mrs. Peagrim''s party last night?"
20533Why, Jill?"
20533Why, do you know her?"
20533Why, then, had the earthy Mr. Goble consented to associate himself with the production of this intellectual play?
20533Will you bring up tea?"
20533Wo n''t you play it for us?"
20533Would n''t you be in my place?"
20533Yes, Barker, what is it?
20533Yes, it_ is_ a bit of all right, taking it by and large, is n''t it?
20533You are, too, are n''t you?"
20533You ca n''t be doing this for fun, surely?"
20533You do n''t know a fellow named Williamson, do you?"
20533You do n''t mean what is sometimes slangily called betrothed?"
20533You have n''t forgotten my telling you all that?
20533You know Freddie Rooke, of course?"
20533You know yer pals when you see''em, do n''t yer, mate?"
20533You lost your money in the same thing Jill Mariner lost hers, did n''t you?
20533You own the piece, do n''t you?"
20533You remember Jill?
20533You''ll forgive my dwelling a bit on this thing, wo n''t you?
20533You''re a good kid I Shall we say twenty- five thousand?"
20533You''ve begun to get a sort of idea that if Jill does n''t watch her step, she''s apt to sink pretty low in the betting, what?
20533You''ve never met Lady Underhill, have you?"
20533You''ve seen Jill, of course?"
20533You-- you could n''t put anything else in till you had taken all that out, could you?
20533Your uncle wo n''t be wanting this place for half an hour or so, will he?
20533_ Have_ you heard of Captain Kidd?"
20533and make poor old Derek happy?"
20533and she said,''When?''
20533fifty thousand?
20533in the circumstances was almost as bad as"Really?"
20533whom have we here?
20533yes, no?
6837''Candide''?
6837''Father''s in the pigstye, you can tell him by his hat,''eh?
6837''Jer want?
6837''Oo are_ you?_he demanded.
6837A bonehead?
6837A fire?
6837A man on the train this morning said to me,''Would you care for the morning paper, sister?'' 6837 A policeman?"
6837About the piece?
6837Absolutely off?
6837Age?
6837All alone?
6837All right?
6837All the same,she said, smiling a difficult smile,"it would be nice to get out, would n''t it?"
6837All this has n''t happened, and we''re just as good pals as before?
6837Am I in time?
6837Am I the last or the first or what?
6837Am I? 6837 Am I?"
6837Am I?
6837Amalgamated Dyes?
6837An old lady?
6837And it''s all right, eh? 6837 And later on, I suppose, you would like a chop or something to take away in your pocket?"
6837And now, let me see, whom shall we invite?
6837And one so rarely hears musicianly music nowadays, does one?
6837And the chor-- the-- er-- ladies of the ensemble? 6837 And what has what you would prefer got to do with it?"
6837And what will you do when the real owner of the place walks in in the middle of dinner?
6837And who,pursued Henry,"arsked_ you_ to come shoving your ugly mug in''ere?"
6837And you are the small bachelor?
6837And yours, sir?
6837And, in the name of heaven, what does it matter?
6837Angry?
6837Anxious to get rid of me, are n''t you? 6837 Any answer, Jill?"
6837Are n''t you going to_ do_ something?
6837Are we going in the right direction? 6837 Are you broke?"
6837Are you going to do that often, Wally?
6837Are you going up- town?
6837Are you ill?
6837Are you married?
6837Are you sure you can spare it?
6837Are you sure,said Uncle Chris seriously,"that it is only that?
6837Are you sure?
6837Are_ you_ nervous?
6837Backed a loser?
6837Because Mae D''Arcy has got her notice?
6837Bill?
6837Bit choppy, I suppose, what?
6837But Sir Derek has his own money, has n''t he? 6837 But did n''t you think he was good last night?"
6837But how about my trunk?
6837But how do you ever find out that a waiter has_ got_ lumbago?
6837But how do you know him?
6837But how on earth could you afford to pay for an apartment in a place like that?
6837But how?
6837But what are you doing here?
6837But what do you live on?
6837But what do you want with work?
6837But what is he doing here?
6837But what makes you think so? 6837 But what makes you think so?"
6837But what on earth made Freddie join the company at all?
6837But when did you come over?
6837But when did you go to America? 6837 But why are n''t you playing?"
6837But why did n''t you stay down at Brookport with your Uncle Elmer?
6837But why is n''t he here? 6837 But why should Derek care whether Jill was well off or not?
6837But why? 6837 But you are n''t in the office now?"
6837But, as I was saying, Mrs Peagrim, may I have the pleasure of this dance?
6837But, my dear old thing,said Freddie earnestly,"if you''ve got nothing to keep you in England, why not pop back to America?
6837But-- but does n''t the house belong to me?
6837But-- do you know him? 6837 But-- then you''ve lost a great deal of money?"
6837But-- won''t you come back to England?
6837Ca n''t you see he''s hurting the poor thing? 6837 Ca n''t you see the place is afire?"
6837Ca n''t you see the thing is the biggest hit in years? 6837 Ca n''t you understand a girl in my position not being able to make up her mind whether she loves a man or despises him?"
6837Ca n''t you understand, Freddie? 6837 Christopher Selby?
6837Christopher?
6837Cold?
6837Come along?
6837Could n''t you keep your Impressions of America for the book you''re going to write, and come to the point?
6837Could you make it a little easier?
6837Could you tell me,she asked,"when the next train is to New York?"
6837Could you?
6837Curse? 6837 Cut the speech, Mr Goble?"
6837Derek? 6837 Derek?
6837Derek?
6837Did he?
6837Did n''t I tell you about that?
6837Did n''t you hear what I said? 6837 Did n''t you know?
6837Did she give you the raspberry?
6837Did they have words?
6837Did you cop?
6837Did you ever read''Candide'', Uncle Chris?
6837Did you ever see such a bunch?
6837Did you go down to Ike, as I told you?
6837Did you have a pleasant trip?
6837Did you hear anything about a fire?
6837Did you try the stuff I recommended?
6837Did you?
6837Did you_ write_ the play?
6837Did_ you?_he enquired of Wally.
6837Do I know her?
6837Do n''t mind if I smoke, do you? 6837 Do n''t you remember sharing one of your father''s cigars with me behind the haystack in the meadow?
6837Do n''t you remember the garden- hose? 6837 Do you know where little boys go who do n''t speak the truth?
6837Do you mean you''ve made a bloomer of some kind?
6837Do you really want to marry me?
6837Do you remember that?
6837Do you remember, Jill, years ago, when you were quite small, how I used to blow smoke in your face?
6837Do you remember? 6837 Do you still?"
6837Do you think her ladyship means to come between them and wreck their romance?
6837Do you think there would be any chance for me if I asked for work at Goble and Cohn''s?
6837Do you think they will be able to put it out?
6837Do you want it? 6837 Do you wish to stop and see the conflagration?"
6837Eh, what?
6837Eh? 6837 Eh?
6837Eh? 6837 Eh?
6837Eh?
6837Eh?
6837Eh?
6837Eh?
6837Eh?
6837Er-- you_ do_ realize that I''m bespoke, do n''t you, and that my heart, alas, is another''s? 6837 Ever played a part before?"
6837Ever seen a couple of strange dogs watching each other sort of wary? 6837 Everything?"
6837Fifty- pound note?
6837Finished, Freddie?
6837For me?
6837For the better?
6837Freddie, what are you doing here?
6837Freddie?
6837Garden- hose?
6837Given it up, eh? 6837 Given it up?"
6837Going strong? 6837 Good?"
6837Got a cigarette, Freddie?
6837Had breakfast?
6837Has he said anything about the piece?
6837Has he?
6837Has n''t she got a limousine?
6837Have I been asleep?
6837Have they gone, Horace?
6837Have you been there?
6837Have you come over on business?
6837Have you come to meet somebody?
6837Have you ever had lumbago?
6837Have you ever heard of Captain Kidd?
6837Have you ever seen my Uncle Elmer?
6837Have you felt that, too? 6837 Have you got a porter, Ferris?
6837Have you got any pepsin?
6837Have you seen Miss Mariner?
6837Have you thought what it would mean?
6837He broke it off because of that?
6837He has been badly treated, has n''t he?
6837He wants to marry you?
6837He went in there, of course?
6837Headache?
6837Heard what?
6837Hello?
6837Her ladyship will be meeting Miss Mariner for the first time, sir?
6837Here, do you mean? 6837 Honetht?"
6837Hope I''m not barging in and all that sort of thing? 6837 How are you, Freddie, my boy?"
6837How are you, Major Selby?
6837How can I? 6837 How can you doubt it?"
6837How could I consult you? 6837 How did her ladyship seem to hit it off with Miss Mariner, Horace?"
6837How do you do, Lady Underhill?
6837How do you do, Mr Rooke?
6837How do you do?
6837How do you do?
6837How do you do?
6837How do you know?
6837How do you manage to get such a wonderful crease? 6837 How do you mean, painful?"
6837How do you mean, warning?
6837How do you mean, which line? 6837 How far is Patchogue?"
6837How long have you been here?
6837How much would you want?
6837How not?
6837How was business in Baltimore?
6837Howja spell it once more?
6837Howja spell it?
6837Hugh?
6837Huh?
6837Hullo?
6837I agreed to let her open in New York, and she''s done it, has n''t she? 6837 I beg your pardon?"
6837I beg your pardon?
6837I know it''s not worth mentioning, and it''s breaking our agreement to mention it, but you do understand, do n''t you?
6837I know you are going to be a millionaire next Tuesday week, but how are you getting along in the meantime?
6837I say,Ronny had said,"have you heard the latest?
6837I see many things, but which is the funny one?
6837I shall-- ah-- how shall I put it--?
6837I started something, did n''t I? 6837 I suppose we had better be moving?"
6837I suppose you are tired after the rehearsal?
6837I suppose you know you look perfectly wonderful in that dress? 6837 I take it that you wrote to her about Jill?"
6837I''ll see you when you get back?
6837I''m sorry this should have happened, but you''ve nothing to complain about now, have you? 6837 In time?"
6837Indeed, sir?
6837Indeed?
6837Is Mr Pilkington here?
6837Is he?
6837Is it true she has gone to America, Freddie?
6837Is n''t it enough to make me get the wind up, as you call it, when you say absurd things like that?
6837Is she very angry with me?
6837Is that Sir Derek Underhill, whose name one''s always seeing in the papers?
6837Is that so?
6837Is that the solemn truth?
6837Is the music good, Mithter Thalzburg?
6837Is there an answer, miss?
6837Is there another?
6837Is there anything in it as good as that waltz of yours you played us when we were rehearthing''Mind How You Go?'' 6837 Is this where you live?"
6837It got to Christian names, eh?
6837It hurt?
6837It is pretty terrible, is n''t it?
6837It is, is it?
6837It is?
6837It would be nice if you would do it every night, do n''t you think? 6837 It would be very awkward, would n''t it?"
6837Jear that?
6837Jill, eh?
6837Jill, is it bad news?
6837Jill, you do n''t mind telling me how you got ten thousand dollars, do you?
6837Jill?
6837Jolly place, this, is n''t it?
6837Look round?
6837Lost her money? 6837 Major Selby?
6837Major Selby?
6837Maybe we did n''t gool''em, eh? 6837 Me?"
6837Me?
6837Mine? 6837 Miss Mariner, I believe?"
6837Miss Trevor?
6837Mr Pilkington in?
6837Mrs Peagrim?
6837Mrs Waddesleigh Peagrim?
6837Must I?
6837My career as a manager did n''t last long, did it?
6837My smash?
6837My what, old son?
6837Need we bring Underhill in?
6837Nelly Bryant? 6837 New York?"
6837No bad news, I hope, dear?
6837No?
6837Not the Guards?
6837Not the words?
6837Nothing stirs?
6837Now what is it, Miss Trevor?
6837Now what?
6837Of course I could n''t expect him to do anything that might interfere with his career, could I?
6837Off?
6837Oh then you live in America?
6837Oh, did you go down there, too?
6837Oh, did you see this?
6837Oh, do you know him, too, Major Selby?
6837Oh, has it been done before?
6837Oh, have you composed a varlse, Mr Saltzburg?
6837Oh, is the entertainment over?
6837Oh, must you go already?
6837Oh, new?
6837Oh, so you do n''t like it? 6837 Oh, that was it?"
6837Oh, yes?
6837Oh, you remember him?
6837Oh, you were at school with him?
6837Oh, you will think about it?
6837Oh, you''re stuck on her, are you?
6837Oh, your intellectual friend Mr Rooke knows her?
6837Oh,_ that_ fellow? 6837 Oh,_ you_ engaged her?"
6837Oh? 6837 Oh?"
6837One and a half per cent for fixing a show like this? 6837 Or Charlie-- Charlie what was it?--Charlie Field?"
6837Or Oakes?
6837Part? 6837 Pepsin?"
6837Perhaps you would be kind enough to tell me just how you think that part should be played?
6837Pipped?
6837Polly want a nut?
6837Poor old thing?
6837Pretty fit?
6837Proposing to Mrs Peagrim? 6837 Push the bell, old man, will you?
6837Put up the money for that ghastly play? 6837 Really?"
6837Really?
6837Restaurant?
6837Rotten? 6837 Rush of jolly old professional engagement, what?"
6837Say, what is this, anyway? 6837 Scowling?
6837See that everything is all right, will you? 6837 Selby?
6837Shall I strike this man?
6837Shall we go and dance? 6837 Shall we start, then?"
6837Should I speak to Mr Goble?
6837Sir?
6837Sir?
6837So our talk sort of goes over the top, does it? 6837 So you buzzed out of the fiery furnace all right?
6837Something on your mind, old bean?
6837Something wrong with the old tum?
6837Strike?
6837Surprised to see me?
6837Tell me, Uncle Chris,she said,"just how bad is it?
6837That lunch at Oddy''s that young Threepwood gave, what?
6837That_ was_ Freddie Rooke, was n''t it? 6837 Thay, what are you doing in the chorus, anyway?"
6837The Automat?
6837The best what?
6837The girls?
6837The how- much? 6837 The man you told me you had been talking to?
6837The man you''re engaged to marry? 6837 The pirate?
6837The preliminaries?
6837The sequel?
6837The speech about Omar Khayyam?
6837The what- ho- something?
6837The whole company came from New York, did n''t they?
6837Theatre?
6837Then I take it it''s all right, eh?
6837Then how on earth did you get here?
6837Then what made you give it up? 6837 Then what''s the good of talking?"
6837Then what?
6837Then why did n''t she meet me?
6837Then you do n''t mind Uncle Chris giving his dinner- party here tonight?
6837There is a rehearsal called for the ensemble at-- when is it, Rolie?
6837There''s been an awful slump on the Stock Exchange today, and he got-- what was the word, Freddie?
6837They do deserve it, do n''t they, after working so hard?
6837They have what?
6837They think I behaved badly?
6837This is your first show, ithn''t it?
6837Tibby, darling, would n''t it be nice if you and cousin Jill played a game of pretending you were pioneers in the Far West?
6837To make a touch? 6837 Uh?"
6837Uncle Chris? 6837 Uncle Chris?"
6837Waiting for someone?
6837Wally, you would n''t want me to marry you if you knew you were n''t the only man in the world that mattered to me, would you?
6837Was I? 6837 Was Wally-- was Mr Mason there?"
6837Was n''t that part an Englishman before?
6837Was wondering,said Freddie,"if you would mind if I brought a friend of mine along?
6837Well, I do n''t suppose they are very good judges, are they?
6837Well, am I refined enough, do you think?
6837Well, might as well be here as anywhere, what?
6837Well, there''s no need to dance, is there?
6837Well, they are doing it to someone, are n''t they,said Wally,"and, if it''s not you, who is it?"
6837Well, what about it?
6837Well, where did you meet Miss Mariner?
6837Well,he said, mastering with difficulty an inclination to raise his voice to a shout,"perhaps you will kindly explain?"
6837Well?
6837Well?
6837Well?
6837Well?
6837Well?
6837Well?
6837Went well, eh?
6837Were you speaking to me?
6837What about him?
6837What are they saying?
6837What are they saying?
6837What are you doing here?
6837What are you doing here?
6837What are you going to do, Uncle Chris?
6837What are you going to do?
6837What are you going to_ do?_she cried.
6837What are you h''ming about?
6837What can I do?
6837What could be sweeter?
6837What did he say?
6837What did n''t take you in?
6837What did that girl want?
6837What did you say?
6837What did you say?
6837What did you say?
6837What did you say?
6837What did you say?
6837What difficulty?
6837What do you mean you own the piece?
6837What do you mean?
6837What do you mean?
6837What do you mean?
6837What do you mean?
6837What do you mean?
6837What do you suppose my mother thought? 6837 What do you think of it?"
6837What does this mean? 6837 What else could I do?
6837What has she got to do with it?
6837What have I ever done that the sternest critic could call rummy?
6837What have you been saying to the poor boy to cheer him up so? 6837 What is it?
6837What is it? 6837 What is it?"
6837What is it_ now?_"Omar Khayyam was a Persian poet. 6837 What is my age?
6837What is the matter?
6837What it would mean?
6837What of it? 6837 What on earth for?"
6837What ought I to do, Wally? 6837 What shall I do?"
6837What shall I do?
6837What sort of a show is this?
6837What sort of crossing did you have, mother?
6837What success_ have_ you achieved?
6837What the devil''s the matter?
6837What was he saying to you?
6837What was it, then?
6837What was that that guy said? 6837 What was that?
6837What was the first name?
6837What was the name again?
6837What was the name of that place again?
6837What was the precise ritual? 6837 What would you do with it?"
6837What would you me to read?
6837What''s a pioneer?
6837What''s all on again?
6837What''s all this?
6837What''s money?
6837What''s that?
6837What''s that?
6837What''s the good of splitting straws?
6837What''s the matter, Uncle Chris? 6837 What''s the matter?
6837What''s the matter?
6837What''s the matter?
6837What''s the time?
6837What''s the use, Freddie, between old pals?
6837What''s this?
6837What''s up?
6837What''s wrong with it? 6837 What''s wrong with it?"
6837What''s_ your_ name? 6837 What''ud we do?"
6837What? 6837 What?"
6837What?
6837What_ is_ it?
6837Whatever are you doing here?
6837Whatever are you doing here?
6837Whatever are you doing in New York?
6837When did they leave?
6837When did you decide to do that?
6837When did you land in New York?
6837When?
6837When?
6837When?
6837Where are you going now?
6837Where are you going?
6837Where are you, dammit?
6837Where did Uncle Chris go?
6837Where did you get her?
6837Where is Underhill?
6837Where''s Sir Portwood Chester?
6837Where''s home?
6837Where_ did_ you get that?
6837Whereabouts?
6837Which fox- trot?
6837Which line?
6837Which of them is giving free trips? 6837 Who cares?"
6837Who cares?
6837Who engaged you?
6837Who is he, Nelly? 6837 Who is she?"
6837Who is this girl?
6837Who the hell''s Mae D''Arcy?
6837Who told you to butt in?
6837Who was she?
6837Who''s running this show, anyway?
6837Who''s''we''?
6837Who,enquired Jill, anxious to be abreast of the conversation,"is Ike?"
6837Who? 6837 Whoever is that?"
6837Whose idea''s this?
6837Why Mr Goble particularly?
6837Why are we wasting time? 6837 Why are you bringing Underhill to this party?
6837Why did I want it put on? 6837 Why did I?
6837Why did n''t he join with the rest of the company? 6837 Why did n''t you put it on in New York?"
6837Why did you tell her to do that?
6837Why do n''t you get married?
6837Why do n''t you try asking her riddles?
6837Why do n''t you?
6837Why do you suppose I''ve been talking such a lot? 6837 Why does n''t he know the steps?
6837Why not? 6837 Why not?"
6837Why not?
6837Why should n''t I walk straight in and say that I''ve come for work?
6837Why the devil is he new?
6837Why were Miss Mariner and Mr Rooke arrested, Parker?
6837Why, old man, you''ve heard me speak of him, have n''t you? 6837 Why, who is he?
6837Why? 6837 Why?"
6837Why?
6837Why?
6837With Mrs Peagrim?
6837With a_ what?_demanded Mrs Peagrim sharply.
6837Wo n''t you join me?
6837Woddyer mean sting me? 6837 Woddyerwant?"
6837Worried?
6837Wot''s all this about a fire?
6837Wot''s on my mind? 6837 Would I remember your name if you told me?"
6837Write to me?
6837Write, eh?
6837Yes, miss?
6837Yes, sir?
6837Yes? 6837 Yes?
6837Yes? 6837 Yes?"
6837Yes?
6837Yes?
6837Yes?
6837Yes?
6837Yes?
6837Yes?
6837Yes?
6837Yes?
6837Yes?
6837Yes?
6837You are n''t Bobby Morrison?
6837You are n''t going already?
6837You are n''t going to open the door?
6837You are n''t going to?
6837You are n''t really going?
6837You considered that a fortunate occurrence, did you?
6837You do love old Derek, do n''t you? 6837 You do n''t mean that you have done it already?"
6837You do n''t think I am making a mistake marrying you?
6837You have n''t heard?
6837You have n''t seen Jill yet, of course?
6837You know what a girl is, do n''t you?
6837You mean they do not like it?
6837You met him?
6837You remember the address? 6837 You said you were going to marry me?"
6837You see, coming down to it, the thing was more or less his fault, what?
6837You speculated?
6837You surely are n''t on their side?
6837You think I''m altruistic? 6837 You think it will need fixing?"
6837You think it wise?
6837You think so, eh?
6837You think so?
6837You think there''s a chance that she might overlook what I said?
6837You wanted to speak to me?
6837You were faithful to my memory?
6837You were n''t expecting me?
6837You wish it?
6837You''ll come and see us, wo n''t you?
6837You''ll have some tea before you go, wo n''t you?
6837You''ll let me know if you scare up some devilish fruity wheeze, wo n''t you? 6837 You''re American, then?"
6837You''re English, are n''t you?
6837You''re from the other side, are n''t you?
6837You''re spoofing, are n''t you? 6837 You''re very fond of Derek, are n''t you, Jill?"
6837You''re wandering from the point, are n''t you?
6837You''re what?
6837You?
6837Your name, please, and address, miss?
6837$ 105.50"?
6837$ 15"?
6837''Did she break it off?''
6837''Not_ the_ Jill Mariner?''
6837''Oh, do you know Underhill?''
6837''Why pay rent?
6837( What''s this?
6837( What?
6837--would you do it?"
6837?
6837?
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837?"
6837A concert?"
6837A slight celebration is indicated, what?
6837About her losing her money and coming over to America?"
6837After all, what else was she to do?
6837After all, what the devil did it matter how she came to be here?
6837All right?
6837And Jill''s in that?"
6837And did n''t you find that the only possible thing to do was to work and work and work as hard as ever you could?
6837And is n''t he getting his share of the profits?
6837And the next article?''"
6837And what am I to do?"
6837And what will she be?
6837And why should there always be Wally?
6837And why?
6837And why?"
6837And you''re on the stage, are n''t you?"
6837And, I mean to say, well, if you follow what I''m driving at, what, what?"
6837And, as a pal, may I offer you my bank- roll?"
6837Are any of you girls coming my way?
6837Are n''t you proud to know him, Mr Rooke?"
6837Are n''t you starving?"
6837Are the festivities likely to be over by then?
6837Are these all the ones you''ve loved and lost?"
6837Are we not missing a good thing?''
6837Are you aware of the things that can happen to you if you allow the red corpuscles of your blood to become devitalised?
6837Are you fond of walking?"
6837Are you sure that your vitality has not become generally lowered by the fierce rush of metropolitan life?
6837At the station?
6837At this hour?"
6837Besides, what on earth could Lady Underhill find to object to in me?
6837Besides, why should I care?
6837Bright as it is, that idea is_ out!_""What the devil has it got to do with you?"
6837But do you suppose the path of true love is going to run smooth, for all that?
6837But it wo n''t do any good, so what''s the use?"
6837But let us say for the sake of argument that you put up-- what shall we say?--a hundred thousand?
6837But perhaps you''re too tired for conversation?"
6837But what about the book?"
6837But what aspect of myself do you wish me to touch on?
6837But what does it matter?
6837But what''s the good, if you want the earth?"
6837But why did you do it?
6837But will the author stand for it?"
6837But, honestly, how was I to know?
6837By the way, am I wrong or did I hear something about a theatrical entertainment of some sort here tonight?"
6837By the way, how is your uncle?"
6837By the way, you got those seats for that theatre tonight?"
6837By the way,"--he paused for an almost imperceptible instant--"is it still?"
6837By the way,"he went on,"to return once more to the interesting subject of my lodger, does your uncle sleep here at nights, do you know?"
6837Ca n''t you feel it on the back of your head?"
6837Ca n''t you see I''m busy?"
6837Can I sit down?"
6837Can you beat it?"
6837Can you ever forgive me?"
6837Cigarette?
6837Cigarettes?
6837Conscience?"
6837Could n''t you see that I had stopped dictating and was searching for a phrase?
6837Could she avoid meeting Freddie?
6837Could she ever forgive him?
6837Could this be love?
6837Daresay you''ve forgotten you have an Uncle Elmer, eh?"
6837Did I make much noise coming in?"
6837Did n''t you tell him that Jill would be here tonight?"
6837Did n''t you thee Wally Mason in front, making notes?
6837Did you find it?"
6837Did you really?"
6837Did you see it by any chance?
6837Did you try Nervino?
6837Do n''t you realize that poor Jill will be there?
6837Do n''t you think it''s perfectly darling, Major Selby?"
6837Do something?
6837Do you feel more rested now?"
6837Do you know her?
6837Do you like it?"
6837Do you mean Derek''s mother?
6837Do you remember Freddie Rooke, who was at our house that after- noon?"
6837Do you remember giving me a letter from him at Rochester?
6837Do you smoke?"
6837Do you think Jesse James here would be offering you a cent for your share if he did n''t know there was a fortune in it?
6837Do you think she will be pipped?"
6837Do you think you could be going ahead and getting a taxi?"
6837Do you understand?"
6837Do you understand?"
6837Do?
6837Do?
6837Does Miss Mariner open in New York or does she not?"
6837Does he often get the wind up like this?"
6837Ever met any?
6837Exactly how do we stand?"
6837Forgetting I''m not your private shovoor, was n''t you?"
6837Good God, Freddie, have you no delicacy?"
6837Had a chorus ever done such a thing?
6837Had n''t Freddie heard?
6837Has Mrs Parker got something very good for dinner?"
6837Have I been squashing your poor arm all the time?
6837Have n''t I said that I could explain all that?
6837Have n''t you ever had a terrible shock or a dreadful disappointment that seemed to smash up the whole world?
6837Have n''t you ever heard that the dividing line between love and hate is just a thread?
6837Have n''t you seen them popping about?
6837Have you ever broken an arm or a leg, Freddie?"
6837Have you ever done a murder?
6837Have you ever heard of Nervino?"
6837Have you ever noticed how slowly time goes when you are coaxing a shilling and a sixpence out of somebody''s money- box?
6837Have you ever noticed what whacking big cigars these fellows over here smoke?
6837Have you forgotten that Charlie Field wore velvet Lord Fauntleroy suits and long golden curls?
6837Have you got all the bags?
6837Have you?"
6837He closed his eyes and pondered on his favorite problem-- Why was he a parrot?
6837He did n''t say anything for a bit, then he said''Off?''
6837He had a wife and children, and, if dadda went under with apoplexy, what became of the home, civilization''s most sacred product?
6837He seemed to find a difficulty in speaking,"Because of Underhill?"
6837He sent you to fetch me?"
6837How about Mr Mason?
6837How about it?
6837How are you feeling?
6837How are you feeling?"
6837How are your chilblains?"
6837How can I put on chorus numbers if I am saddled every day with new people to teach?
6837How can he have heard about what''s happened?
6837How could a man like Derek be under anybody''s thumb?"
6837How could he?"
6837How did it go off?"
6837How did you know that that was the one hat in New York I wanted you to wear?"
6837How do you suppose she will feel when she sees that blackguard again?
6837How else could Uncle Chris have got the money?"
6837How is your insomnia, by the way?
6837How many years ago had that been?
6837How much would these people Goble and Cohn give me if I got an engagement?"
6837How would you like somebody to ask of you if you knew a man named Jenkins in London?"
6837How''s everybody at home?
6837However, do n''t you think the most sensible thing is for you to wait till you meet her at dinner tonight, and then you can form your own opinion?
6837I daresay you have noticed that I have gone out of my way during the voyage to make myself agreeable to our fellow- travellers?
6837I mean to say, you know what I mean,_ love_ him and all that sort of rot?"
6837I mean, I do n''t know much about this sort of thing, but do you think it''s the sort of thing Jill ought to be doing?"
6837I mean, of course I''m awfully sorry you''ve lost your money, but it makes it all the easier for us to be real pals, do n''t you think so?"
6837I mean, there will be time for me to have a bite of breakfast?"
6837I mean, what?"
6837I said,''No doubt you have a thousand agents in the city, but have you one who does not look like an agent and wo n''t talk like an agent?
6837I say,"said Freddie, wandering off once more into speculation,"why is it that coves like that always talk of a girl as''the little lady''?
6837I suddenly seemed to look myself squarely in the eyeball and say to myself,''Freddie, old top, how do we go?
6837I suppose you''re surprised to find me in New York, what?"
6837I take it the mater was a trifle peeved?
6837I think we might celebrate this reunion with a little supper, do n''t you?"
6837I wrote it,""You wrote it?"
6837I''ve been a bad girl, have n''t I?"
6837If an old friend ca n''t behave like an old friend, how_ can_ an old friend behave?
6837If she did not know he lived in this place, how in the name of everything uncanny had she found her way here?
6837If you could n''t gyp a bone- headed amateur out of a piece of property, whom could you gyp?
6837If you will excuse me for a moment?"
6837If you''re as deceitful as this at your age, what do you expect to be when you grow up?
6837Is Derek Underhill in America?"
6837Is Sir Derek up yet, Parker?"
6837Is Sir Derek''s cab here?"
6837Is he always like this?"
6837Is it a go?"
6837Is it my face you object to, or my manners, or my figure?
6837Is n''t he a friend of yours?"
6837Is n''t my figuar all right, Freddie?"
6837Is something interesting going on behind me?"
6837Is that another of your morning exercises?
6837Is that clear?"
6837Is there anything I can do for you, Miss Mariner?"
6837Is there anything I can do?"
6837It is enough to make the success of any musical play, but can I get a hearing?
6837It will take you back to New York, what?
6837It''s a great old country, is n''t it?"
6837It''s a partnership, and what''s the good of a partnership if your heart''s not in it?
6837Jill, do n''t you hate me?"
6837John Grant?
6837Johnny?"
6837Just artistic loathing of the rotten piece, or is there some other reason?"
6837Kind''earts are more than coronets and simple faith than Norman blood, are n''t they?"
6837Let''s take this table, shall we?"
6837May I introduce Mr Roland Trevis?"
6837Met him?"
6837Much the same as any of the other places, is n''t it?"
6837My darling, precious uncle, do n''t you realize that you had vanished into thin air, leaving me penniless?
6837My dear child, whatever induced you to take such a step?"
6837My heart bleeds for Freddie, but what can one do?
6837My jewel- case?
6837My thoughts, my tastes, my amusements, my career, or what?
6837Nobody here yet?"
6837Not Christopher Selby?"
6837Not even singed?
6837Not to say perturbed and chagrined?
6837Of course you will come?"
6837Oh, Freddie had met her and she had told him she was going to America?
6837Oh, I see, you mean which line?
6837Oh, Selby?"
6837Oh, well, that''s rather off the rails, is n''t it?
6837Oh, you mean Underhill?"
6837Oh, your uncle?"
6837Or Rooke and Bryant, the cross- talk team, a thoroughly refined act, swell dressers on and off?"
6837Otie, dear, ca n''t you suggest a good phrase?
6837Otie, what is a good phrase for''I am told''?"
6837Perhaps you will excuse me?
6837Pretty sick, I''ll bet, what?
6837Quite a time ago, eh?
6837Rooke?"
6837Said he,''Oh, my queen, is it manners you mean, or do you allude to my fig- u- ar?''
6837Salmon?
6837Say, who are these Gilbert and Sullivan guys, anyway?
6837See it?
6837See you later, I suppose?"
6837See?"
6837Selby?
6837Shall I come along, too?"
6837Shall I take you back to wherever you''re staying?
6837Shall we creep sombrely out into the night?"
6837Shall we say good- night?
6837Shall we say twenty- five thousand?"
6837Sir Derek can afford to do what he pleases, ca n''t he?"
6837Somebody you do n''t want to meet?"
6837Sort of gets a chap into training for going to heaven, what?
6837Speak up, ca n''t you?"
6837Still here?"
6837Suppose there were no Wally?
6837Surely I was n''t mistaken?"
6837Tell me, do you see the same thing I see?"
6837Tell me, where and how did you meet this girl?"
6837Thay, why did you ever get into the show business?"
6837The Juggling Rookes?
6837The audience sat up on its hind legs and squealed, did n''t they?"
6837The fellow who scraped acquaintance with you between the acts?"
6837The good old boat wobbled a bit, eh?"
6837The other girls do, so why should n''t I?"
6837The rugs?
6837The small brown bag?
6837The suit- case?
6837Their ignorance is-- what is the word I want?
6837There was once a melodrama where the child of the persecuted heroine used to dissolve the gallery in tears by saying"Happiness?
6837These things happened, and you regretted them, but as for doing anything, well, what_ could_ you do?
6837This_ is_ Eighteen East Fifty- seventh Street?"
6837Underhill was there, eh?"
6837Wally Mason-- teased me?"
6837Was I?
6837Was he to crush Mrs Peagrim in his arms?
6837We had got as far as the jovial old human bloodhound, had n''t we?
6837We''ll go there, shall we?"
6837We''ll make a double wedding of it, what?
6837We''ve met before, what?"
6837Well, Augustus, what''s on your mind?"
6837Well, I ask you, my boy, can you see her making an objection?
6837Well, after that, what could anyone say against me?
6837Well, if it came to that, why not?
6837Well, used you to hit it and twist it and prod it, or did you leave it alone to try and heal?
6837Were n''t costumes clothing?
6837What am I up against?"
6837What are notices to me?"
6837What are those things you''re eating?"
6837What are we stopping for?"
6837What are you looking at?
6837What are you supposed to lock up?"
6837What are you talking about?"
6837What could I have done?"
6837What do they think of the piece?"
6837What do you mean?"
6837What do you mean?"
6837What do you suppose she thought?"
6837What do you think of it?"
6837What do you want to know about Jill?"
6837What does it matter?"
6837What else is there for me to do?
6837What has happened?"
6837What is it?
6837What is it?
6837What is it?
6837What is it?
6837What is it?"
6837What is it?"
6837What is your contribution?''
6837What name shall I say?"
6837What regiment?"
6837What shall we do- oo- oo?"
6837What shall we do?"
6837What shall we talk about?"
6837What she ought to have said, he did not know, but he knew that it was not"Yes?"
6837What then?"
6837What was I talking about?
6837What was to be done about it?
6837What were you going to say?"
6837What would it be worth to you to have me hint from time to time at dinner parties and so forth that Nervino is the rich man''s panacea?''
6837What''s money?"
6837What''s the matter with my popping over to America and finding Jill?"
6837What''s the matter with you?
6837What''s the matter?"
6837What''s the trouble?"
6837What''s the use of talking any more?
6837What''s up?
6837What''s your name?"
6837What, he broke off to ask, did Pilkington think of the idea?
6837What, he enquired-- through the medium of a clever drooping of the mouth and a shrug of the shoulders-- was to be done about it?
6837What?"
6837What_ is_ happiness, moth- aw?"
6837When did you arrive?"
6837When you said everything was gone, did you really mean everything, or were you being melodramatic?
6837When?
6837Where are the cigarettes?
6837Where are the comics, and why are n''t they opping?"
6837Where are the rugs?
6837Where are they?"
6837Where can I find you afterwards?"
6837Where did you get ten thousand dollars?"
6837Where did you meet this fellow?"
6837Where do you get that legitimate stuff?
6837Where do you pick up such expressions?
6837Where does she come from?
6837Where have we been?
6837Where is he, then?
6837Where shall we go?"
6837Where was I?
6837Where was the sense of it?
6837Where''s the harm in lending a hand-- or, rather, an arm-- to a pal in trouble?"
6837Where''s the nearest fire?
6837Where''s the sense of hanging around and getting stalled?
6837Where?"
6837Which of these women whose names you see all along Broadway in electric lights can hold a candle to her?
6837Which reminds me that we have been some time settling down to an exchange of our childhood reminiscences, have n''t we?"
6837Who are her people?
6837Who cares?
6837Who engaged him?"
6837Who engaged you?"
6837Who is this blue- eyed boy?"
6837Who is to sing the opening chorus?"
6837Who the devil is Ronny Devereux?"
6837Who was going to foot the bill?
6837Why are n''t you in bed?"
6837Why did n''t you move?"
6837Why did n''t you say''bawled out by Johnny?''
6837Why did n''t you tell me that Jill was in the chorus of this damned piece?"
6837Why did you write to me from that place on Fifty- Seventh Street if you were n''t there?"
6837Why do n''t you take Sir Derek and give him a cup of coffee?"
6837Why do you imagine I snapped your poor, innocent head off just now?
6837Why does anybody?"
6837Why does one forget things?"
6837Why not give me the jolly old scenario and see if we ca n''t do something?"
6837Why not let your spine stay where it is instead of having it kicked up through your hat?
6837Why not?"
6837Why on earth are you so afraid of mother?"
6837Why on earth is Ike putting it on?"
6837Why should he have to pay twice over for the same thing?
6837Why should n''t the dear old lady be a what- d''you- call- it?
6837Why should people flock to pay for seats for what are practically dress rehearsals of an unknown play?
6837Why spoil your meal because of this?
6837Why were n''t you at Mrs Peagrim''s party last night?"
6837Why wo n''t Lady Underhill agree with Mr Gossip?"
6837Why, Jill?"
6837Why, do you know her?"
6837Why, then, had the earthy Mr. Goble consented to associate himself with the production of this intellectual play?
6837Wo n''t you play it for us?"
6837Would his mother approve of Jill?
6837Would n''t you be in my place?"
6837Yes, Parker, what is it?
6837Yes, it is a bit of all right, taking it by and large, is n''t it?
6837You are, too, are n''t you?"
6837You ca n''t be doing this for fun, surely?"
6837You do n''t know a fellow named Williamson, do you?"
6837You do n''t mean what is sometimes slangily called bethrothed?"
6837You have n''t forgotten my telling you all that?
6837You know Freddie Rooke, of course?"
6837You know yer pals when you see''em, do n''t yer, mate?"
6837You lost your money in the same thing Jill Mariner lost hers, did n''t you?
6837You own the piece, do n''t you?"
6837You remember Jill?
6837You remember which they are?
6837You''ll forgive my dwelling a bit on this thing, wo n''t you?
6837You''ve begun to get a sort of idea that if Jill does n''t watch her step, she''s apt to sink pretty low in the betting, what?
6837You''ve never met Lady Underhill, have you?"
6837You''ve seen Jill, of course?"
6837You-- you could n''t put anything else in till you had taken all that out, could you?
6837Your uncle wo n''t be wanting this place for half an hour or so, will he?
6837_ Have_ you heard of Captain Kidd?"
6837and make poor old Derek happy?"
6837and she said,''When?''
6837but why Mr Pilkington?"
6837but you knew I lived here?"
6837fifty thousand?
6837had he come specially to see you?"
6837how shall I put it?
6837in the circumstances was almost as bad as"Really?"
6837well, why did you?
6837what did you say?"
6837what shall I say?
6837what then?
6837what was the name?
6837when the rehearsal finishes, you know, how about a bite to eat?"
6837whom have we here?
6837yes, no?
6837you know?"
