10164Oh, Maggie, would a duck swim?"
10164Saved, and by whom?

10164Why had the world gone so suddenly wrong?
10164Why should n''t the man admire her if he was an old lover?--Kate must have had dozens of men in love with her-- why should n''t any man admire her?

10164Would n''t it be awful if the old man should come up here and find she''d gone with Rance Belmont?"

21697A beast? 21697 Am I dreaming?"
21697Am I, then, so rude, so callous?

21697An''what may that pe?
21697And Angus Macdonald, what of him?
21697And father also, I suppose?
21697And fight?
21697And what induces you now to bring him back?
21697And what of my father, Samuel Ravenshaw?
21697And you return?
21697And, Elsie,he added, in a deeper voice, drawing her nearer,"will you accept the hunter?"
21697Better and better,said Victor;"and what of the people?"
21697Bless me, Ian, iss it jokin''ye are?
21697But what about the house on fire?
21697But why did you not bring Ian Macdonald along with you, Vic?
21697But why did you not help him in the hunt?
21697But why hesitate?
21697By the way,asked Ian,"was not poor John Flett nearly drowned about the beginning of the flood?"
21697Can it pe possible? 21697 Changed?
21697Come, Ian, why do n''t you eat? 21697 Come, Winklemann, be thankful that you are alive.--By the way, Ian, where are the animals you killed?"
21697Did he see you?
21697Did you ever see Paradise, that you know so well what it is like?
21697Did you feel_ that_, Peegwish?
21697Do Christians swear, an''drink, and fight, and get angry till the blood makes the face blue, and strike with the fist?
21697Do n''t you know?
21697Do n''t you think, Sam, that we might have the barn prepared, in case some of our neighbours have to leave their houses?
21697Do you think it safe to stay?

21697Eh?
21697Give up Tony? 21697 Hallo, Flett, d''ee want help?"
21697Has my Indian father ever found Tonyquat telling lies?
21697Has the wedding come off yet?
21697Have n''t swallowed much water, I hope?
21697Have you found a tree?
21697Have you got everything you want, Ian?
21697Have you got your powder- horn and bullets handy?
21697Have you seen anything of Herr Winklemann lately?

21697How can the pole- star guide one?
21697How d''you know that I do n''t like it?
21697How zat poss''ble?
21697I do n''t know,she said, bending quickly over her work;"how should_ I_ know?
21697I killed ten animals myself, and Ian Macdonald missed fifteen; Winklemann dropped six, besides dropping himself--"Vat is dat you zay?
21697I say, Vic,remarked Ian, with a significant smile,"why wo n''t you go after the buffalo?"
21697Indeed, and what like was it, and what sort of people were there?
21697Is Lambert''s own house safe?
21697Is Louis Lambert with you?
21697Is Tonyquat a Christian?
21697Is it melliferous, then?

21697Mine boy, have he comin''back?
21697Nay, but you do n''t object to my answering it, do you?
21697No bones broken?
21697Nobody objects to your having it all your own way,retorted Victor, somewhat testily,"but why should you be so secret about it?
21697Not much hurt, I hope?
21697Oh man, man, what for did ye leave us?
21697Peegwish,he said, quickly dropping the things with which he had been busy,"is there a stout rope anywhere?
21697Shall ve go an''chase dem?
21697Succeed? 21697 The truth?"
21697Tonyquat is a boy who keeps his word?
21697True, but how does that sentiment accord with your wish that you might spend eternity in hunting buffalo?
21697Tut, man,said Mr Ravenshaw, a little testily,"why drag in the subjects of the knoll and my Elsie to- night, of all nights in the year?"
21697Vas you ever here before?

21697Well?

21697When will zoo take me back to my own fadder?
21697Where is Tony?
21697Who all is he bringing?
21697Why did you not stop at some of the houses higher up the river to feed?
21697Why should I?
21697Will they succeed, think you, in overtaking the murderers?
21697Will they take me to my own father?
21697Will you play us a tune, Angus?
21697You do n''t propose to give it up, do you?
21697You remember our last meeting in the smoking- box on the knoll?
21697You want bally?
21697You''s killed''i m two or tree time over; vy, you''s axed''i m, stabbed''i m, shotted''i m, busted''i m, squashed''im-- ho!--"Am I much damaged?
21697You''ve got everything out, I fancy?
21697You''ve had the target put up, Cora?
21697You''ve heard the report brought by the Indian about the flood, I fancy?
21697` Unromantic,''eh? 21697 Before starting he entered the hut, and said to Winklemann, who was filling hismoder''s"pipe for her--"You vill be here ven I come back?
21697Bot did any von ever hear of a chile vat cry for a pipe ven it was porn?"
21697But where should he remove to?
21697Can he tell where it comes from, or whither it goes?
21697Choke me?"
21697Could a civilised man have done much more?
21697Could it be fire?
21697Could they be boats?
21697D''ye see them, Tony?
21697De ting vat leetil chile have?"
21697Did she too recognise tones which recalled other days-- and the puling cries of infancy?
21697Did ye hear a cry, lads?"
21697Do you know much about that redskin whom your father called Petawanaquat?"
21697Do you think I would present Elsie with a collar thus procured?
21697Does not the white man''s Book say,` If your enemy thirst, give him drink?''
21697Elsie, if-- if-- but what am I saying?
21697Even if he had, what could he do?
21697Had He not taken the guilt of man on Himself in the person of Jesus, in order that, without injustice, He might be the justifier of sinners?
21697Had not Peegwish glared prophecy with a degree of solemnity that rendered words not only impossible, but unnecessary?
21697Had not old Sam Ravenshaw said all through the winter that"something would come of it"?
21697Had the young man gone mad?
21697Has a war party of Sioux come down on us, or is the river about to break up?"
21697How are we to get over the difficulty?"
21697How often do bright sunshine and profound calm precede a storm?
21697I will put my fuddle into the canoe, an''my sister she will pe ready at wance.--Wass you ready, Martha?"
21697If I were to do so in such circumstances would you hold me unaccountable?"
21697If you were to miss, you know-- which you''re sure to do-- and we were not there-- eh?"
21697Instead of answering, Ian turned with a twinkle in his eyes, and asked abruptly:"By the way-- when does Louis Lambert return?"
21697Is it to be wondered at that there were sounds of rejoicing that night round the blazing camp- fires?
21697Is not Jesus the one thing?
21697Is not that so, Angus?"
21697It also freed Winklemann''s spirit to some extent, and called it back to life, for he exclaimed,"Vat is dat?"
21697It vould give him con-- con-- vat you call him?
21697It was an absurd dream, no doubt, but are not dreams generally absurd?
21697It will pe goin''to the fort ye are?"
21697Need we say more to convince the intelligent reader that this is the hut of old Liz?
21697No, she was not yet married, he felt sure of that; but what mattered it?
21697Old Ravenshaw could not refuse her to me now, but of what avail is his consent without Elsie''s?
21697Robbiboo, ducks, and-- no, is it tea?
21697Surely you wo n''t refuse a gift from so old a friend as I on the eve of my departure for Canada?"
21697Tell me, for I am anxious about it, have you spoken to your father about selling the field with the knoll to my father?"
21697The truth is, I came to ask if Winklemann has been seen to pass your windows this morning?"
21697Victory?
21697Was it a beast?"
21697Was it not the daily remark of Angus Macdonald that such a state of things,"could not go on for ever-- whatever"?
21697Was not the kidnapped one his brother-- his"own"brother?
21697Was not the kidnapper a redskin-- a low, mean, contemptible savage?
21697Were not the parsons, as you style them, sent to raise our thoughts to God and heaven by preaching Christ?
21697What div_ ye_ ken aboot floods?"
21697What have you got to give us, eh?
21697What if he should be observed by those at Willow Creek, and they should send assistance?
21697What if he should miss?
21697What if the gun should miss fire?
21697What induced you to steal him?"
21697What say you, Vic?"
21697What shall I say to the Governor?"
21697What wad I be feared o''whan ye''re there?"
21697What was it?"
21697What was to be done?
21697When appetite was partially appeased Ian propounded the question, What was to be done?
21697When did you eat last?"
21697Where are you going with the chair?"
21697Whether it''s right or no, who can tell?"
21697Who do shot''i m?
21697Who shall attempt to describe the meeting that followed?
21697Who was to give in?
21697Who''s that big fellow ahead after the old bull?"
21697Why did not your prophetic soul enable you to see further and tell of our present state of comparative good fortune, Mr Wiseman?"
21697Why, there''s a box of it, is n''t there, in the little cupboard on the stair?
21697Will you accept it of me now?
21697Would Tonyquat like to go with white strangers into the mountains?"
21697You are willing to chat with me, Vic, on all other subjects; why not on this?"
21697You think there''s no chance?"
21697You vill not leave the ol''peepil?"
21697_ Have_ I killed the-- the-- grizzly?"
21697_ wo n''t_ you get up?"
21697` Shall these deeds of evil never have an end?''
21697and had not Miss Trim asserted that dreadful consequences of some sort were_ sure_ to follow?
21697and would he not soon see Elsie?
21697asked Victor;"was any one in it?"
21697cried the German, who never declined a challenge of any kind, and who was fond of wordy war;"doos my sin joostify yours?
21697do n''t you see it?
21697doos killing buffalo give you right to do voolishness?
21697exclaimed Elsie, with increasing amazement;"what has Lambert got to do with it?"
21697exclaimed Mrs Ravenshaw, aghast with surprise,"what does the child mean?"
21697have you forgotten the saying,` Faint heart never won fair lady?''"
21697he exclaimed, in tones of suppressed eagerness,"will-- will you accept the collar?"
21697the old man at Willow Creek, whose daughter is married to Lambert?"
21697the poor lady fell; and who shall adequately describe, or even imagine, the effects of that fall?
21697vat_ might_ be?"
21697what sort of a bird is that?"
21697where iss that wuman?
21697without a pipe, Vic?"
10221''Common,''are they?
10221Ai n''t he back yet? 10221 Ai n''t it great to have something lovely to dream over, teacher?
10221And do you know why, Pearl?
10221And he as much as told you, did he?
10221And what is that?
10221Any fool could have told it was going to storm; what drove you out? 10221 Are you going out?"
10221Are you married?
10221Are you sure of it, Pearl?
10221Bertie, dear,the doctor said, not unkindly,"did any one ever tell you that you talk too easy?"
10221But I do n''t hurt you, do I?
10221But I wrote you a note, did n''t I?
10221But are you sure, Pearl; you are so young in years; I mean-- are you sure you will not be sorry? 10221 But do n''t you like the city, Pearl?"
10221But what is the result? 10221 But where is he?"
10221But who is she?
10221But why,interrupted Peter, with a very uneasy mind,"why should n''t women have something to say?"
10221But you love me?
10221But, sir, consider the case yourself; wo n''t you admit, sir, that the laws are fearfully unjust to women?
10221By gum,said the President, looking at the door through which she had disappeared,"do n''t these women beat all?
10221Can you tell me what this is all about, that every one is so crazy to see it?
10221Did he? 10221 Did the Premier turn them down?"
10221Did you get a place yet?
10221Do her people need money?
10221Do n''t you wish we all lived there? 10221 Do you ask me to disturb the sacred calm of our cemetries?"
10221Do you know that woman has a child?
10221Do you know where he''s off to, Pearl?
10221Do you know who wrote it? 10221 Do you mean me?"
10221Does he know about me-- does he hate me-- has she told him?
10221Easy there, my friend,he said, his tone resembling Miss Morrison''s in its commanding chilliness,"How far is it to the Watson farm?"
10221Going to town?
10221Have n''t you anything in your rainy- day box that''s good for slivers?
10221Have you gained in weight? 10221 He looks like a Minister of the Crown now, does n''t he?
10221How about a horse? 10221 How can any one answer this, Driggs?"
10221How did it happen?
10221How did you go about it?
10221How do you know all this?
10221How do you know?
10221How far is it to the Watson farm?
10221I ca n''t complain, even if some of my dreams have failed me-- and maybe-- who knows?
10221I''m getting weaker every minute, and everything is goin''from me-- and now its gettin''dark-- can''t some of yez light a lamp?
10221Is Dr. Clay of Millford there?
10221Is that all?
10221Is that all?
10221Is the garden all up, and what did you sow, and where are the hens set, and did the cabbage plants catch?
10221It''s a queer story, is n''t it, Pearl? 10221 Man has a higher destiny than politics,"she cried, with the ring in her voice that they had heard so often,"what is home without a bank account?
10221My girl,he cried"I do n''t deserve it-- but can you forgive me?"
10221Now do you wonder at my fear?
10221Now what do women know about making roads? 10221 O wo n''t you?"
10221O, is she?
10221Robbing the cradle, eh, Doc?
10221See here, Clay,he said,"did you ever think of how nature fools us poor dupes?
10221So you know Pearl, do you?
10221That red- eyed old anarchist of yours that no one could harness but you?
10221Turn---Jimmy cried scornfully,"Turn-- is it?
10221Was it really because you think I am too young to know my own mind, that you spoke as you did, or is there another reason?
10221Was there no one else?
10221We''re not afraid-- what have we to be afraid of? 10221 Well then"--George Steadman was sure now he was going to get the information--"who writes this this stuff from Chicken Hill?"
10221Well, Mrs. Burns,the doctor said,"what has happened today?"
10221Well, Peter, my son-- how are you?
10221Well, could n''t I talk if I were married?
10221Well, how does the time go? 10221 Well, we bought, when we came to our farm here, one of your father''s horses, the old Polly mare-- do you remember Polly?"
10221Well, when you''re married-- will you let your wife decide where you will live? 10221 Well, why do n''t you go,"said Peter,"or send me?
10221Well, why does n''t he get Dr. Moody? 10221 What can be done about it?
10221What did you say, sir?
10221What did you think you could do about it? 10221 What does he know about it?"
10221What is it, sir?
10221What is the opposition platform this year,said the doctor,"what would I have to believe?
10221What is wrong with me? 10221 What kind of people are they?"
10221What law is this?
10221What was good-- are you reading what I gave you to read?
10221What would I have done?
10221What''s this,cried Paine, in a loud voice, as he ran forward;"where did this fellow come from?"
10221When I gave him the card, he read it out loud-- ain''t he the nicest ever? 10221 Where is she?"
10221Which way will we do it, Danny?
10221Which way, Danny?
10221Who is he?
10221Why did n''t you speak to her when you got a chance?
10221Why do n''t you answer me,he said, turning around quickly,"Darn you, why ca n''t you speak when your spoken to?"
10221Will you come with me now, teacher?
10221Would she ever forgive me?
10221You are sure you do n''t mind my going,said Pearl,"without notice?"
10221You have n''t forgotten what we said?
10221You have n''t thought of any one else, Bob?
10221You were just fooling us by pretending you were going to board at Mrs. Gray''s-- weren''t you? 10221 You were quite right about that, but you wo n''t feel that way about me, will you dear?
10221You will come, wo n''t you, Pearl?
10221You would n''t consider it yourself?
10221''And the mother washed for ye, did she, you dirty trollop?
10221''Lives there a man with soul so dead,''eh, Banks?
10221A man must give freely of himself to be as popular as you are, Clay-- do you ever find yourself giving out under the strain, and in need of a rest?"
10221A wife and children clutter up a man''s affairs at a time like this-- you are quite free from family ties, I believe?"
10221Accordin''to law, children belong to the father-- ain''t that right?
10221After all, was life going to disappoint her, cheat her-- giving her so much, and yet withholding the greatest joy of all?
10221Ai n''t it a wonder they did not turn on her?"
10221And you see you can save yourself in lots of ways-- don''t you?
10221Are not these infinitely more than his property?
10221Are you an orphan?"
10221Are you any better than I am?"
10221Are you glad, Pa, and do you think I can do it?"
10221But I want to ask you something, Doctor-- you wo n''t think I am cheeky, will you?
10221But how could that be?
10221But tell me-- how did you know I had an invitation to the city?
10221But what else could she have done?
10221But who knows?
10221But why do they do it?
10221Ca n''t you stay and talk a minute?"
10221Can you come?"
10221Clay?"
10221Could it be that she was being called of God to be a leader in a new crusade against injustice?
10221Did it not teach them to be charitable?
10221Did n''t I tell you it would be?"
10221Did not a man at the altar, in the sight of God and witnesses, endow his wife with all his goods?
10221Did the thousand year limit still hold?
10221Did you ever hear the old man rage?
10221Did you hear what he''s going to buy?
10221Did you think you could stop her-- hush her up-- or scare her-- or bribe her-- or what?"
10221Do n''t it beat all how people die?
10221Do the potatoes need hoeing, ma?
10221Do they rave and curse and cry aloud?
10221Do you know why women leave home?
10221Do you never read, gentlemen?"
10221Do you remember?
10221Do you think that too, teacher?"
10221Do you want to give him more power?
10221Even if Mrs. Gray had been all they said, she had not done any wrong to them-- why should they feel called upon to punish her?
10221Failing this, he put it back in his mouth, and between puffs went on:--"Let me see-- they are wanting a bridge near there, are n''t they?
10221H.C.""And why ca n''t you say it?"
10221Had n''t she told the truth and done what seemed right all the way?
10221Has any one any right-- to stop me from trying?"
10221Has she no claim at all?"
10221Have n''t you decided on a program, some sort of course of action?"
10221Have you seen him lately?
10221He addressed the Cabinet Minister boldly:--"Did you see this?
10221He called at the drug store before going to his private office, and inquired of the clerk:"Any one wanting me, Tommy?"
10221How could she be when she has me?
10221How did she know all this?
10221How you earn your living-- and all that?
10221How''d you like to be bossed around like that?"
10221I know how he bought liquor for the Galicians and brought them in by the car- load to vote, like cattle, and that''s blue blood, is it?
10221I saw you comin''out of the doctor''s office just now-- anybody sick?
10221I see why the women want to vote, do n''t you?"
10221I want to pass out like old Prince-- you remember my good old roan pacer, do you?"
10221I was three days at Paine''s-- caught by the storm-- do you know them?
10221I wonder if you know what the law is?"
10221In his confusion, Mr. Neelands, new in the art of diplomacy, blundered:"Is this Miss Watson?"
10221Is it really only a matter of getting in to the public treasury?
10221Is it very bad, Pearl?"
10221Is n''t that the train whistle?"
10221Is that in the far North?"
10221Is that love?"
10221Is that what you were when the fever was so bad, and all the Clarke''s had it at once, and you nursed six of them through it?
10221Is there any gratitude?
10221Is there any reason that you know of?
10221Is there any reason why I ca n''t hope to win her?
10221Is there no hope that she might forgive me?"
10221It did not exist in God''s mind, so why should we try to bring it about?
10221It is the power of suggestion, do n''t you think, and all that sort of thing?"
10221It was as if her hope of Heaven was in dispute, and did n''t Pearl put it to me?
10221It''s the best way-- now, will you try to remember?"
10221Just a friendly call then, was it?
10221Looks like trouble, do n''t it?
10221My dad eats with his knife, does he?
10221No one sick, eh?
10221No sir, I''ll bet you won''t-- you''ll be boss, wo n''t you?
10221Now, was n''t that an awful way for her to talk?
10221Pearl could refrain no longer:"Why did you ever leave?"
10221Peter, you know how it is with the Indians-- in their wild state, eating rabbits and digging roots-- they''re happy, are n''t they?
10221Rising to his feet again he said:"The good ladies have bountifully provided for our needs today-- what would we do without the ladies?
10221She began to sing:--"Forgotten you?
10221She readily granted that if there were to be but one patent, it would of course be the mother, but why skimp the child on parents?
10221So I know I had her mad or she would n''t have said it, but was n''t she smooth about it?"
10221So why should strangers spare her?"
10221Some day I''ll tell you a strange story until then, you''ll trust me?"
10221Some storm, was n''t it?
10221Steadman?"
10221Tell me what the boy is like-- how big is he?"
10221That''s a fine phrase, is n''t it?"
10221That''s a job for a second- rate doctor, is n''t it?
10221That''s good actin'', Pearl-- let me tell you-- how can you do it?"
10221That''s the dope-- what?
10221The doctor endeavored to speak calmly:"Well, what about it?"
10221The other boy should have been expelled-- you are the teacher-- why did you let them?"
10221The other train might be late too, so it would be impossible for him to come out-- but would she still wait?
10221Then I ran the item-- I thought it was very good-- what''s wrong with it?
10221Then going over to the telephone, she shook her fist at it:"Did my mother wash for you, ma''am?
10221There''s an election coming on-- there will be bills, cards, streamers, what not; good money in printing for the Government-- do you savvy?"
10221They are all right to go visiting over the roads after they are built, but how much good would they be in building them?"
10221They would see first would she be up?
10221To play an important part in a play?
10221Was it a dream, or was there really a human being, and such a lovely one, a guest at her fireside?
10221Was it because-- my father eats with his knife?
10221Was it her part to speak for other women?
10221Well then-- were those sacred words to be blasphemed by an unholy law which compelled her to give back what he had so lovingly given?
10221Were there some things which even God could not make up to us?
10221What are you afraid of?"
10221What could he tell Pearl?
10221What could that mean?
10221What did he say about it, will he take it?"
10221What difference would that make?
10221What do we care what they endorse?"
10221What do you suggest?"
10221What do you think about it, Driggs?
10221What had she done, or failed to do?
10221What harm can she do you?
10221What have I done?"
10221What name?"
10221What was back of it all?
10221What would you have done, Pearl?"
10221What would you have done, Pearl?"
10221When urged for an opinion, he said crustily:"Well, what''s the girl goin''to do?
10221Where did you come from, anyway?"
10221Where have been now?
10221Who is she?"
10221Who listened or noticed?
10221Who says you have?"
10221Who wants to live, anyway, beyond the time of usefulness?
10221Why did no one want to give her board and shelter?
10221Why did you, Jessie?"
10221Why do n''t the people like me?
10221Why should you set yourself above me, and say you wo n''t go into a hotel?
10221Why were the people so hard on Annie Gray, even if all they believed about her were true?
10221Why wo n''t he tell me?
10221Why would n''t they give me a boarding place?
10221Will you listen to a debate on it-- will you let it be discussed in your hearing?"
10221Would I come?
10221Would she dare to insinuate that love had to be buttressed by the law?
10221Would she go?
10221Would she go?
10221Would she have her hair combed?
10221Would she please let them know at once?
10221Would the girl write it herself?"
10221You can tell me something, can you?
10221You hate to fill the wood- box, do you?
10221You know her-- why do n''t you answer me girl?
10221You remember the old home on the road to Hampton your people had, Mr. Gilchrist, the fine old house with the white veranda and the big red barn?
10221he cried coming nearer,"would you come and live with us?
10221on the Souris?"
10221said Pearl,"no magistrate-- no other missionary or priest?"
10221she asked the delegation, with biting sarcasm,"do you not know of the disgraceful happenings in countries cursed by manhood suffrage?
10221she whispered, turning around to glare in stormy wrath at the unoffending telephone--"he as much as told you there was nothing in it?"
10221was it you?
10221was it you?"
4376''Daniel Mulcahey Watson, what wud you like?'' 4376 ''Robert Roblin Watson, him as they call Bugsey, what would you like?''
4376Ai n''t he a peach?
4376All work is expression,Fra Elbertus says, so why may I not express myself in blueberry pie and tomato soup?
4376And are you not?
4376And now, Camilla,she said when she had gone all over the subject,"how can we awaken the musical sense in Daniel?
4376And the cause of her death?
4376And what was that?
4376And when Jim sees Camilla, what chance will you have, Nell?
4376And, Camilla,Jim said gravely,"I am really very irresponsible, you know Nellie Slater-- she is a pretty girl, is n''t she?"
4376Are the children all well? 4376 Are ye not well, ma''am?"
4376Are you Mr. Tom Motherwell?
4376Are you actually going away on the train to- night? 4376 Aw, do, Pat, wo n''t cher?"
4376But how about the doctor, why will he not speak to you?
4376But you do n''t groan, Tom, do you?
4376Camilla?
4376Can you play it?
4376Chockaluts?
4376D''ye think she''ll ever come to see us, ma?
4376Danny is it?
4376Did I frighten you? 4376 Did he pass, Nap?"
4376Did n''t we get off lucky?
4376Did ye find it?
4376Did you ask Tom Motherwell?
4376Did you make this cake, Nell?
4376Did you see the blue, blue sky, Daniel, and the white, white snow, and did you see the little snow- birds, whirling by like brown leaves?
4376Do n''t you go to church?
4376Do ye still think I took it?
4376Do you want hot water and sheets and carbolic?
4376Do you want me?
4376Doc,she cried indignantly,"have n''t I towld ye a dozen times not to say that?
4376Does it hurt her, though?
4376Does she know?
4376Does she think I stole her dirty money, me that has money o''me own-- a thief is it she takes me for? 4376 Father, did you put that money there?"
4376Father,Nellie said gravely,"just to save trouble among the boys, will you do it?"
4376Goin''to Sam Motherwell''s, are ye?
4376Good land, child, have I to tell you everything? 4376 Had n''t you better go up and bring the kid down, ma?"
4376Has n''t the lady eyes and understanding? 4376 Has she eyes like stars, lips like cherries, neck like a swan, and a laugh like a ripple of music?"
4376Her? 4376 How did you convince him?"
4376How is Pearl? 4376 How is the pink lady to- day, ma?"
4376How old is the baby, James?
4376How sweet of him, is n''t it, really?
4376I went out last night to be sure I had shut the henhouse door, and I heard him groanin'', and I said, knockin''on the door,''What''s wrong, Arthur?'' 4376 I wonder is her soul attune to the melodies of life, and will she feel the love vibrations of the ether?"
4376Intoxicants, do you mean?
4376Is Mrs. Motherwell as close as he is?
4376Is he very sweet and cunning James, and do you love him very much?
4376Is he worse?
4376Is it me ye want ma''am?
4376Is she awful pretty?
4376Is she tooberkler?
4376Is your father back yet, Tom?
4376It''s what?
4376Jim ai n''t in love, is he?
4376Mary,he said, taking her face between his hands,"are you going to marry Horace Clay?"
4376Miss Barner,he said, lifting his hat,"if Daniel Mulcahey Watson and I should ask you to come for a drive with us, I wonder what you would say?"
4376Mother,Tom said,"how do you suppose that money happened to be in that overcoat pocket?"
4376Mrs. Watson, will you come upstairs, please?
4376Nellie, will you dance with me?
4376Now I wonder who''s writing to him?
4376Oh Nap, did we let him go past?
4376Oh, Doc, what is it?
4376Oh, I know, minister''s son, is n''t that lovely? 4376 Oh, it''s you, is it?"
4376Patsey, where''s your gum?
4376Pearl,he said,"what is wrong with me?
4376Pearl,she said in a strained voice,"did you see a two- dollar bill any place?"
4376Peter is growing up too fast, do n''t you think so, mother? 4376 Pillow- shams?"
4376Say,Pearl began after a pause,"who does the cow over there with the horns bent down look like?
4376Say,he said, more cheerfully than he had yet spoken,"you have n''t been drinking, have you?"
4376See here,he sputtered,"what do you know about it?
4376So ye did, poor bye,said Pearlie, her wrath all gone,"and what will I tell yez about, my beauties?"
4376Story, is it?
4376To''come back''?
4376Tom, Tom Motherwell, what are you doing here?
4376Tom, can you take a parcel for me to town to- day?
4376Tom, how did you come here?
4376Tom,she said,"did you see Skinner in there?
4376Well, Mr. Motherwell,the minister said, holding out his hand cordially as he walked over to where Sam stood,"how did it happen?"
4376Well, well,he said to himself as he untied Chiniquy,"little Jimmy''s lost his tongue, I wonder why?"
4376Well, who do you suppose sent them? 4376 Well, why do you suppose Jim comes over here every second day to get you to write a note to that friend of yours?"
4376Were you here before, early in the evening?
4376Wha''''s a matter? 4376 What ails the child?"
4376What am I bleatin''for?
4376What are her chances do you think?
4376What are wife and child to the word of a knight?
4376What are you playin''?
4376What cher got?
4376What cher take fer butcher- ride, Pat?
4376What is it, Pearl?
4376What is it, Pearl?
4376What is it?
4376What right have I?
4376What time is it?
4376What was the trouble?
4376What''s Polly''s other name?
4376What''s gone wrong with you, old man?
4376What''s up, kid?
4376What''s wrong?
4376What?
4376What?
4376When you go downstairs will you kindly bring me up a small red notebook that you will find on the desk in the library?
4376When''s he goin''to begin?
4376Where is Polly?
4376Where will I run them to then, ma''am?
4376Where''s my overcoat mother?
4376Who cares for mats?
4376Who is Polly? 4376 Who is going to drive into town for Camilla?"
4376Who is this boy, Camilla?
4376Who were ye expectin''?
4376Who''ll keep house when ma goes to wash?
4376Who''ll keep the dandrew out of me hair?
4376Who''ll make me remember to spit on me warts?
4376Who? 4376 Why did n''t ye git here earlier?"
4376Why do you do all this for me, Pearl?
4376Why do you need to tell her?
4376Why, Pearlie Watson, what are you crying for?
4376Why?
4376Why?
4376Will you be anything else?
4376Will you bring Daniel to see me to- morrow, James?
4376Wo n''t that be great? 4376 Ye would n''t mind the dark if ye''ad yer mother''s''and, would ye, miss?"
4376Yes, and what did you say?
4376You boys need n''t quarrel over Camilla for Jim Russell is coming, and when Camilla sees him, what chance do you suppose you''ll have?
4376You did n''t happen to bring anything over with you, did you, for seasickness on the boat?
4376You goin''fer butcher- ride?
4376You have n''t heard of her having a fit, have you?
4376You''ll be what, Camilla? 4376 ''He shall have dominion from sea to sea,''but what of you? 4376 An operation for appendicitis, here, in this place, and by that young man, no older than himself perhaps? 4376 Are they all as purty as you?'' 4376 Are your clothes ready, though?
4376But dead or alive, flowers are all right for folks, ai n''t they, Jim?
4376But did I hear you say Tom Motherwell was coming?"
4376But it is n''t fair to pray in a race is it?
4376But they ca n''t mane me, Camilla, sure what did I do?"
4376CHAPTER IX THE LIVE WIRE"Who is this young gentleman or lady?"
4376Ca n''t we open that wee windy, ma''am?"
4376Can ye do it, Jim?"
4376Can ye go to town, Jim, in a hurry?"
4376Could this be what he meant by harsh proceedings?
4376Danny crept up on his mother''s knee"Ma, did she give ye pie?"
4376Dear little Danny, how is he?"
4376Dear, dear, is my tie on straight?
4376Did Big Sister carry him all the way?
4376Did she live here?"
4376Do n''t you see the horse wants a drink?"
4376Do n''t you think she is a remarkably beautiful girl, Grantley?"
4376Do ye mind how poor Jeremiah was let down into the mire and ye tuk care o''him, did n''t ye?
4376Do you pay that debt?"
4376Do you pray?"
4376Do you remember what the girl said in the letter,''Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my little ones, ye have done it unto Me?''
4376Do you see anything about him to make his mother cry?"
4376Do you sing?"
4376Does oo love Big Sister?"
4376Has n''t he a fine little nub of a nose?
4376Have n''t I towld ye time out of mind that a soft answer turns away wrath, and forbye makes them madder than anything ye could say to them?"
4376Have they got an organ here?"
4376He tried to run, but his knees failed him-- what about Arthur?
4376How do you know you have n''t got a gizzard?
4376How is a precious luvvy- duvvy?
4376How would you like to be ripped clean up the back?
4376I never knowed there were so many places inside a person to go wrong, did ye, ma?
4376Inside of John Watson''s home, in spite of November''s dullness, joy and gladness reigned, for was not Pearl coming home?
4376Is it not a pagan thought, that?
4376Is it?"
4376Is n''t that McSorley over again?
4376Is that so?"
4376Is that so?"
4376Is that them things she sowed out there?"
4376It was n''t you, was it?"
4376It was only this morn''s mornin''that he sez to me, sez he, as I was comin''away,''Ma, d''ye think she''ll give ye pie for your dinner?
4376It''s awful stylish for a little lad like Danny to be wearin''pants under his dresses, and now what about boots?
4376Jim Russell whispered to Camilla, as he passed near where she and Arthur sat,"Will you please come and help Nellie in the pantry?
4376Ma, what''s an oliver, d''ye think?"
4376Mary said tearfully,"if Pearlie goes away?"
4376Mr. Ducker inquired gently,"general breaking down of the system, I suppose?"
4376Mrs. Motherwell looked up apprehensively"What are you crying for, Pearl?"
4376Oh, is that you Pearl?
4376Pearl cried,"do n''t you want to hear what ye''r goin''for?
4376Pearl was disgusted with the professor and her thoughts fell into vulgar baseball slang:"Playin''to the grand stand, ai n''t ye?
4376Polly had died at daybreak-- didn''t the letter say?
4376Russell?''"
4376Sam, ca n''t we save that poor old woman from the poorhouse?
4376Say, doctor"--Pearlie''s face was troubled--"what do you think of his looks?
4376Say, how about a collar?"
4376She says,"Duz he want anyone to wash his back?"
4376She would n''t cut them, would she, miss?
4376Slowly his memory came back-- he had come for the doctor; and the doctor was to be back in an hour, and now it was nearly morning, did n''t she say?
4376So Wilford said again:"Aw, do, Pat, wo n''t cher?"
4376So- Bossie?"
4376Solomon, was n''t it, who said it was''they who tarry long at the wine''?
4376The call came in these words:"If Tom Snider can do it, why not me?"
4376The doctor went on:"''Who hath sorrow, who hath woe, who hath redness of eyes?''
4376The two little White girls always knew, but do you think they would tell?
4376Then the question arose, and for a while looked serious-- What was Danny to wear on his head?
4376Was it a dream?
4376Was it the faith of that decrepit old woman in that bare little room across the sea, mumbling to herself that God had not forgotten?
4376Was my new suit done?"
4376Was there ever such a turkey as that one?
4376Watson?"
4376We did n''t send the flowers, we have never done anything for anybody and we have plenty, plenty, and what is the good of it, Sam?
4376Well Danny, me man, how goes it?"
4376Well, why was n''t he at home?
4376What about the poppies?
4376What do you bet she has n''t opened it?"
4376What do you take me for anyway?"
4376What does she care who gets the milk?
4376What does she think I come for?"
4376What in the world was making Pearl cry?
4376What kin I do with ye?"
4376What makes you think he is sick?"
4376What need has a man of brains when he goes into politics?
4376What terrible pain is this that has me in its clutches?"
4376What the mischief were they saying?
4376What was he doing here?
4376What was the smell?
4376What will I tell about, honey?"
4376What would Mrs. Francis say to that?
4376What would you like to see in here?''
4376What''s her name?''
4376What''s the good of money if you ca n''t have a little fun with it?
4376What''s yours?"
4376When I was gittin''the tub for Arthur yesterday, and gittin''water het, she said,"What are you doin'', Pearl?"
4376When did you come?"
4376When he drove up to the kitchen door his mother looked up from her ironing and asked:"What kept you, Tom?"
4376Where''s this?"
4376Where''s yer sense, Doc?"
4376Who was it?"
4376Who would ever think of sending them?"
4376Why should Arthur be sick?
4376Why should Tom fall into evil ways?
4376Will you open the window upstairs for me?"
4376You are engaged are you not?"
4376and I said,''No, but what''s wrong?''
4376and Where does your lap go to when you stand up?
4376and he said,''Oh, I beg your pardon, Pearl, did I frighten you?''
4376and''Patrick Healy Watson, as is called Patsey, what is your choice?''
4376childer dear, d''ye think a foine lady like her would be bothered with the likes of us?
4376he cried angrily,"ai n''t that blamed thing paying yet?
22076''Bull- in- the- ring,''''squat- tag,''''button, button, who''s got the button?'' 22076 A movin''gen''rally looks sort of sad, does n''t it, Pa?"
22076Ai n''t it queer how things turn out?
22076And what are you thinkin''?
22076And you let him-- and listened?
22076And you really heard the clock?
22076Are you a little gun- shy?
22076Are you happy, Camilla?
22076Are you in a quandary now, Thursa?
22076Are you that happy you feel you can never lose a bit of the glad feeling?
22076Arthur, are you sure?
22076Better''n Miss Morrison?
22076Bill was fine, and do you know, he is real nice when he''s sober? 22076 Bless your heart, what have I just told you?
22076Bud,he said gently, laying his hand on the boy''s shoulder,"I wonder if you are the good ground?
22076But Bud,Libby Anne said wistfully,"you ca n''t ever forget that I lied, can you?
22076But did n''t you like Arthur first-- yourself-- anyway?
22076But what would your mother say?
22076But what''s the use of its lovely flashing purple?
22076Can I go and see her, doctor?
22076Dead?
22076Did Mrs. Cavers make that?
22076Did Tom hit you a- purpose?
22076Did he have much when he started?
22076Did he really say that, Pearlie?
22076Did he?
22076Did she send me this? 22076 Did ye ever hear, George, of greater rewards than money, and a greater happiness than being independent?"
22076Did you ever see a man''trying to stand still on a bicycle? 22076 Did you get yer black dress then?"
22076Did you have a pleasant journey?
22076Did you really hear the clock last night, Auntie?
22076Did you say hopes, Ma? 22076 Did you set him drunk and then turn him out in this blazing sun?"
22076Did you take a photo of Mr. and Mrs. Cavers and Libby Anne?
22076Do n''t you go to the Pioneers picnics, now?
22076Do n''t you know we are going home?
22076Do you know a Mr. Smeaton in Brandon,she asked,"Mr. Jack Smeaton?"
22076Do you love her?
22076Do you mean to say-- that Sandy Braden-- bought this tent-- for my little girl?
22076Do you mean to tell me, Clay, that that man who brought me here is not the little girl''s father? 22076 Do you never use them, Martha?"
22076Doctor,she said,"am I going to die?"
22076Does n''t it beat all?
22076Does she want you to take another country appointment, John?
22076For why, Pearlie?
22076Has she a chance?
22076Hoo hae we used Bill? 22076 How can anyone be blue to- night with everything so beautiful and full of promise?"
22076How do you do, Mr. Watson, how do you do? 22076 How do you know all this?"
22076How do you know that, acushla?
22076How far out is it, Pearl?
22076How much did you give her?
22076How much have you in the business here, Bob?
22076How''s that, Buddie?
22076How, Pearl?
22076I can work and keep house, and sew and bake; but no man would ever fancy me''why should he? 22076 I guess you were good and glad, were n''t you, Auntie?"
22076I wonder if I do?
22076I''ll ask her when she comes, if you like?
22076Is his father a Member of Parliament?
22076Is it as bad as that, Pearlie?
22076Is it possible that Libby Anne has forgotten me like that? 22076 Is n''t it a wine- coloured silk you always wish for when you see the new moon?"
22076Is n''t it a wonder she do n''t come hustlin''? 22076 Is n''t it queer how things happen?"
22076Is n''t she a brick?
22076Is n''t that a woman for you all over, young and all as she is? 22076 Is there anyone that can give her a better chance than you?
22076It is a bare- looking school, is n''t it?
22076It may not be meant for me at all, but it is sweet while it lasts, and I ca n''t help hearing it, can I, Pearl?
22076It''s foolish, it''s weak-- why do you do it? 22076 It''s the heat, Mrs. Cavers,"he said;"but it''ll soon wear off-- he''ll be all right soon, wo n''t he, Doc?"
22076John,she said,"they''re all right wise, are they?"
22076Listened? 22076 Man of honour?"
22076Martha,he said suddenly,"I have n''t been very good to you, have I, old girl?
22076Martha,she cried impulsively,"are you going to be married, too?"
22076Mr. Donald,she said,"do n''t you think we should try to get some one to preach here and have a Sunday- school?
22076Must you really go back to the West, Ellie dear?
22076No word from Bud, is there, Martha?
22076Now, Pa,Pearlie said one night,"ai n''t there some of yer friends ye''d like to write to, seein''as yer gettin''on so fine?"
22076Now, what are you going to have for yourself?
22076Pearl, how old are you?
22076Restitution?
22076Say, Martha, is n''t it great? 22076 Say, Pearl,"said Jimmy,"go in there and get out my catapult, will you?
22076Say,said Jim,"where could we get some of them things, what did you call them, Pearl?"
22076Shall we gather at the river?
22076She did n''t swear, did she, John?'' 22076 Smeaton?"
22076The what?
22076They are pretty, are n''t they?
22076Thursa,he said at last,"will you sing for me that Rosary song?
22076Was n''t he adorable to think of that?
22076Was n''t she a wonder? 22076 Was n''t ten dollars a ter''ble fine, John, only eighteen?"
22076Well, he could n''t see the patch, could he, auntie?
22076Well, my pretty dear,Mr. Perkins said amiably,"how are you feeling this evening?"
22076Well, upon my word, you can talk some, ca n''t you?
22076Well, what else?
22076Well, what would happen our congregation if we had only one service a day? 22076 Were you ever caught?"
22076Wha''s''at?
22076What about your favourite colour, now, Pearl?
22076What are they like?
22076What can I do for you?
22076What can I do? 22076 What can we do, Clay?"
22076What did he do, Pearlie?
22076What did you say, Pearlie?
22076What do I know about young Jack Smeaton? 22076 What do yez mane by it?
22076What do you know?
22076What do you mean?
22076What does it mean?
22076What have you youngsters been up to now, while we were away?
22076What is it, Arthur?
22076What was it, Pearlie?
22076What was she like, Pa?
22076What was the bet about?
22076What''ll ye do with the money?
22076What''s wrong with you?
22076What''s wrong?
22076When did you say Uncle Bill died?
22076Where are you going?
22076Where did you learn that?
22076Where he wuz now?
22076Where he wuz now?
22076Where is Bill Cavers, now?
22076Where is there one?
22076Who can resist these dreamy love- songs?
22076Who is he, anyway?
22076Who promised?
22076Who told you to come to me about it?
22076Why do n''t you get excited and threaten to shoot yourself and all that?
22076Why do n''t you tame a squaw and have her do all this? 22076 Why does n''t she go home to her own people?"
22076Why not?
22076Why should n''t she? 22076 Why?"
22076Will she cut up rough?
22076Will she go to that meeting?
22076Will you come and ride with me? 22076 Will you tell Mrs. Cavers, Martha?
22076Would she?
22076Would you call him a man of honour?
22076Would you consider him a man worthy of trust?
22076Would you like to write to her and see how she is, Pa?
22076Would you stay away from your girl and never come back, and forget all about her?
22076Wus he dead?
22076Yes, Ma; but what d''ye think? 22076 You are Scotch, are you?"
22076You are making it hard for me-- how can I help but perjure myself to win you? 22076 You would n''t think that half a pail of milk would go so far, now, would you, Martha?
22076Young man, where were you at the time of the last election? 22076 was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree?"
22076''What''s wrong, George?''
22076''Ye''ll let me have them, will ye?''
22076( Eh, what''s that?
22076A man wants his wife to be pretty and smart and bright, and what am I?"
22076Acting on a sudden impulse, Pearl said:"Mr. Braden, you know Bill Cavers, do n''t you?"
22076Ai n''t that happiness enough for any one?"
22076An''if ye found him greetin''at the bottom, wad ye no tak him up an''shut the door?
22076And look back there at Lib Cavers''s house-- do you see how dreamy like and sleepin''it is, not takin''a bit of notice of anything?
22076And who''d ever''a''thought of Mr. Mason being so kind, and him so stern lookin''?"
22076Any girls?"
22076Arthur''s face was twitching with pain and anger, but with wonderful self- control he asked her again:"Do you want to marry this man?"
22076At last he called Pearl to him, and, in a muffled whisper, asked:"What is there now that I have n''t had?"
22076Aunt Kate exclaimed,"where does anyone get roses at this time o''year, I''d like to know?
22076Braden?"
22076But I says to him, makin''it as plain as I could,''I mean, did ye see any sewin''around the house, did ye see anything in the line of sewin?''
22076But she would n''t ever have suited him, would she, Pearl?
22076But what do you suppose?
22076But what do you think of this now?
22076But where were they?
22076CHAPTER IV SOMETHING MORE THAN GESTURES Wanting is-- what?
22076CHAPTER XVIII THE LACROSSE MATCH What''s come of old Bill Lindsay and the Saxhorn fellers, say?
22076CHAPTER XXIX MARTHA''S STRONG ARGUMENTS"How does love speak?"
22076CHAPTER XXVII THE WEDDING Life?
22076CHAPTER XXXIV THE CONTRITE HEART Who knows whither the clouds have fled?
22076Ca n''t we get him?"
22076Ca n''t you and I pass it on to Martha?"
22076Camilla must ha''told them what I would like, and was n''t it kind of them, Ma, to ever think o''me?
22076Can I take the price of my husband''s soul?"
22076Can anything bring back my poor Will from the grave?
22076Can anything give him back his chance in this world and the next?
22076Can anything make me forget the cold black loneliness of it all?
22076Cavers?"
22076Danny sidled up to Mrs. Francis and said in a confidential whisper:"Ai n''t I the biggest dood in the bunch?"
22076Did he doubt Mrs. Johnston''s word?
22076Did n''t I say he was a Grit?
22076Did n''t I tell you I''m Scotch and canny?"
22076Did n''t ye promise someone the heathen for their inheritance?
22076Did n''t you hear about the ballot- stuffing that went on here?
22076Did ye hear about the trouble we had that year, summer of''87?
22076Did ye warn the sinner, teach the young, feed the hungry an''comfort the sad?''
22076Did you ever see the beat of old Grandma Lowry?"
22076Did you get any sense of it, Pearlie?"
22076Do n''t it beat the cars?
22076Do n''t you just wish you could gather up all the poor little children?
22076Do n''t you know you ca n''t move a Scotchman?
22076Do you ever?"
22076Do you know what I''m goin''to do with my first money I earn?
22076Do you know, I often look at trees and feel sorry for them?"
22076Do you not mind?"
22076Do you see what I mane, Pa?"
22076Does anyone speak to me of restitution?
22076Dye think it fair to leave a trap- door open for a child to fall doon?
22076Eh?
22076Folks would say to me:''Oh, Mrs. Shenstone, do lay off your mournin'',''but I always said:''Mother''s still dead, is n''t she?
22076Have you a girl, Doctor?"
22076Have you worn it yet?"
22076He looked up inquiringly and asked curtly:"What- do you want?"
22076Here, now, God has set you up with a whole outfit-- what are you goin''to do with it?"
22076How about that Scotch doctor, MacTavish?
22076How did this great city doctor get here?
22076How do you suppose the Grits carried this constituency?
22076How many of a family have ye?"
22076How old are you, Pearl?"
22076How would you like a yoke of oxen to plough with?
22076How''could he tell her?
22076I says,''Do ye think Edith is gittin''ready to be married?''
22076I says:''What''ll you have, Bill?''
22076I want to see her-- who are you?"
22076I was tellin''ye about Ted, was n''t I?
22076I wonder have you done anything to prevent it?
22076I wonder if it ever strikes Arthur what a fine housekeeper she is?
22076I wonder if you are going to let the seed grow?"
22076I wonder if you know how beautiful you are, Thursa?"
22076I wonder will he ever come back?"
22076I wonder would Mrs. Perkins take me in?"
22076I''d go on one of my own-- the north half of seventeen there-- what''s the matter with that?
22076I''ve never been a race in my life, have you?"
22076If I choose to shut down on Bill Cavers it''s nobody''s business, is it?"
22076Is n''t he pretty good?
22076Is n''t it just dandy the way things happen?"
22076Is n''t she the most bewitching little girl in all the world?"
22076Is n''t that the right word?
22076John Watson watched it silently, and then said, more to himself than to anyone else:"It is putty, ai n''t it?"
22076Just as the democrat passed pants burst into maudlin song:"Who''s the best man in this town?
22076Just movin''in, eh?
22076Just then a still later consignment of Mr. Braden''s supporters drove past the house gaily singing the same refrain:"Who''s the best man in this town?
22076Knowledge was a passion with Pearl;"meat and drink to her,"her mother often said, and now how was she to give it up?
22076Libby Anne, did Tom strike you a- purpose?"
22076May I sign it?
22076Maybe you''ve seen him, have you?
22076Miss Watson, will you please stand up and shut your eyes?"
22076Mrs. Burrell said when the church was having the sale, what was the odds where it was held?
22076Mrs. Burrell said, How are the things getting on for the bazaar?
22076Mrs. Burrell said, where will we meet next time?
22076Mrs. Burrell said: Where''ll we hold it, anyway, if we do get enough stuff?
22076Mrs. Burrell says, What about the stairs carpet, now if you''re done with the rhubarb?
22076Mrs. Cavers gladly assented, but would going out hurt Libby Anne?
22076Mrs. Grieves said, Land sakes, let them wear their boots-- they do n''t need to go canterin''up and down the stairs in their bare feet, do they?
22076Mrs. White again exclaimed:"_ What shall we do?_"Mrs. Francis said:"We''ll see what Camilla says."
22076Now, Mr. Smeaton said----""See here, Thursa,"Arthur broke in,"did that cur make love to you?"
22076Now, Mrs. Cavers, I know you do n''t like me-- why should you?--but wo n''t you take it?"
22076Now, did you notice Mrs. Maxwell was n''t at the meeting?
22076Now, tell me, dear, for you have n''t told me yet, are you glad to see me back?"
22076Oh doctor, do n''t you see you are humiliating me by refusing to take this money?"
22076Oh, Mrs. Cavers, you were merciful to me once-- do you mind how you held out your hand to me that day?
22076Pearl recognized the words, and quickly answered:"Do you mind that the woman was wrong about that when she said there was nothing to draw with?
22076Pearl stepped back to look at Martha''s hair, done in a braid around the top, before replying:"Skin like a lily, has she?
22076S''posin''he did ate yer pie?
22076She knew how hard it was to find a situation in Ontario, and now, faded and wrinkled and worn as she was, what chance had she among the many?
22076Tell me one thing-- is Sandy Braden paying part of this?"
22076That''s how it is with us, eh, what?
22076The words of the prayer were stiff and unnatural, but when did the Spirit of God depend upon felicity of expression?
22076Then, after a pause, he said,"Shall I send your telegram?"
22076Then, to change the conversation, which was rather painful, Bugsey suggested:"What do you bet that fellow has n''t got a nest somewhere around here?
22076They''d steal the coppers off a dead man''s eyes-- eh, what?
22076This little Burrell is a Methodist, is n''t he?"
22076Was n''t it fine that Martha had so''much good stuff cooked in the house and was able to set up such a fine meal at a minute''s notice?
22076Was n''t it splendid of him to come this dreadful night?"
22076Well, then, who in the world is he?"
22076What did he care when the store closed?
22076What do I care about the money, anyway?
22076What do you know about him?
22076What does Bud care for a few cents more on every bushel if he has to lie to get it?"
22076What hae we done to help him?
22076What right had this adventurer to steal her away from him?
22076What strange power was in these words to make Bud Perkins suddenly realize that only one thing mattered?
22076What was to be done?
22076What''s queer about it, I''d like to know?"
22076What''s that for, I wonder?
22076What''s that?"
22076What?"
22076When Arthur went back to the house his face was white with the conflict, but his resolve was taken"Do you want to marry this Brandon man, Thursa?"
22076When I went over after our threshin''to take her the money--""What money?"
22076When is she comin'', Martha?"
22076Where can I go where I''ll be any real use?"
22076Where is he now?
22076Where is she?
22076Where is the blot?
22076Who brought him?
22076Who could learn a recitation in a day?
22076Who would brave this terrible storm?
22076Who''s been at you?
22076Who''s the best man in this town?
22076Who''s yon?"
22076Why ca n''t you stay with us?"
22076Why did n''t he speak?
22076Why do n''t you listen, man, to what I am telling you?"
22076Why do n''t you make Bill''s death count for something good?
22076Why do n''t you?"
22076Why do you go on loving her?"
22076Why were Libby Anne''s clothes here?
22076Will five hundred dollars bring you?
22076Wo n''t it be glorious to be together always, dearie, you and I?
22076Would Pearl box up the wedding cake in the little white boxes?
22076Would n''t it be a lark to send one home?"
22076Would n''t it be awful if Thursa was to do that after Arthur gettin''all ready, too?"
22076Would n''t you love to let them all have a look and a smell and armful and be happy for once?"
22076Would she think that they had taken away her old home?
22076You ca n''t ever like me again?"
22076You do n''t drink Schlitz?
22076You do n''t know, do you, whether or not she''s savin''?"
22076You do not mind hearing me rave about her, do you, Martha?
22076You mind the money they saved to go home-- you got that, I guess, did n''t you?
22076You would be superintendent, would n''t you?"
22076You would like to go to Ontario to see your Grandmother and Aunt Edith, would n''t you?"
22076You''ll do it, wo n''t you, Pearl?"
22076You''ve never been in our house yet, have you?"
22076and she''s just as dead as she ever was, is n''t she?
22076cried Mrs. Watson,"did it come to that?"
22076she cried,"do you mean it?
22076the W. C. T. U. been interviewing you?"
28579''S about Moses?
28579Ai n''t I t''have no gun?
28579Ai n''t she up yet?
28579All that''s there? 28579 An''what d''ye think I pack a gun for?
28579And Beulah?
28579And do I marry the girl?
28579And is there no stones there, or stumps?
28579And so you are going to Manitoba?
28579And suppose I do n''t like the look of the mine when I see it?
28579And we shall build our own home, and live our own lives, and love each other-- always,--only, for ever and ever?
28579And what luck have ye had?
28579And you knew she was going?
28579And you were a party to this, were you? 28579 And you were n''t going to give me a word in all those preparations for our future?
28579And your father? 28579 Any tooth- marks there?
28579As a juror or witness?
28579Beulah Harris,he demanded, in his quiet voice,"what are you doing here?"
28579Beulah, will you call Lilian, and your mother, too? 28579 Beulah,"he said, trying to speak calmly,"do n''t you think this nonsense has gone far enough?"
28579Bought it at six dollars, did n''t you? 28579 Brother?"
28579Bush? 28579 But after we get there?"
28579But are ye sure it has no been all ploughed some time?
28579But what about Jim? 28579 But where is it?"
28579But whereby do they make their fences, if they ha''no cedar rails?
28579Ca n''t a girl say a fellow''s fine- looking without being soft about it?
28579Can you tell me,she said, in a low voice,"where the jail is?
28579Could n''t think of making five thousand dollars in a week? 28579 D''ye suppose we could sell the farm?"
28579D''ye suppose we could sell the farm?
28579Did n''t I build you a good house and buy furniture for it, and do I stint you in what you spend, either on the table or yourself? 28579 Did we?
28579Didja get my letter?
28579Didja sell the farm?
28579Do n''t say?
28579Do n''t you think Fred has shown good judgment in the design? 28579 Do n''t you think you have done enough?"
28579Do n''t you think you were-- well, perhaps, a little hasty with him?
28579Fences? 28579 Goin''to visit Jim and Beulah?"
28579Guess you ought to know our visitor, Jim, should n''t you?
28579Harris, is your wife sick?
28579Has the bush all been cleared away?
28579Has there been an accident? 28579 Have you any money?"
28579Have you thought it over, Beulah?
28579Hello, farmers,he cried,"how goes the battle?
28579Here I''ve slaved and saved until I''m an-- an old woman, and what better are we for it? 28579 Home?
28579How did I get here, Beulah?
28579How did we all get here? 28579 How many like me do you think you could lick?"
28579How much can he get for it?
28579How much space can be allotted to each?
28579How''re we goin''t''get him out here with all that money?
28579How''s Allan?
28579How''s your thirst, Hiram?
28579However did you know they were there?
28579I ai n''t changed my mind,he said,"but I do n''t know''s I said anything bindin'', did I?
28579I suppose you''ve sent home word to sell your farm, have you?
28579Independent of what?
28579Innocent, ai n''t chuh?
28579Introdush me? 28579 Is n''t that right?"
28579Is not that sufficient?
28579Is the Injuns werry big?
28579Is there a railroad near, or how do you get at it?
28579Is there never going to be any let- up to it?
28579It''s pretty to look at,said McCrae,"but I guess you did n''t come West for scenery, did you?"
28579Just the same, I think there''s lots more chances to use our money to advantage here than down in Manitoba, do n''t you?
28579Left here? 28579 Let me lie down, ca n''t you?
28579Mary, Mary, do n''t you know me?
28579Mr. Coroner,said Beulah, rising and pointing at Gardiner,"will you make that man take his gauntlets off?"
28579No home, John? 28579 Nobody sick, or anything?"
28579Nothin''ser''ous, I hope? 28579 Now, how many like me can you lick?"
28579Of course, while we are away, why should n''t you have a visit?
28579Oh, Jack, are you killed?
28579Oh, ca n''t you see that we''re just reaping what has been sown-- the crop we''re been raising through ail these years? 28579 On my account?
28579Ready for the road in the morning, Jack? 28579 Robbers, did you say?"
28579Say, Harris, you''re friend o''mine, but do n''t take too many liberties, see? 28579 Sell it?"
28579So I might o''been, but I thought we kind o''made a date last night, did n''t we?
28579So that''s it, is it?
28579So that''s your decision, is it? 28579 So you wo n''t tell me, eh?
28579So you''re goin''to take his part, too? 28579 So you''re not drinkin''?"
28579Some coop, ai n''t it?
28579Suppose I say I am?
28579Tell me,said Riles, his face lit up with interest,"how d''ye do it?"
28579Thas''so?
28579The inquest is to be to- morrow, is n''t it?
28579The one you got credit for bein''mixed up in?
28579Then I guess this dollar stands for''beat it''?
28579Then it was for robbery?
28579Then what''ll happen?
28579They''ll be all well at home, I hope?
28579This still stands at par, does n''t it?
28579Thish is Dr. Blain, late of-- late of-- wash that, McCrae? 28579 Trading it out?
28579Waiting for me?
28579Well, ai n''t we going to put up somewhere?
28579Well, what are you going to do about it?
28579Well, what did you hear him say?
28579Well, what more do you want?
28579Well, what''s the matter with it? 28579 Well, why the devil did n''t you say so?
28579Wha''for? 28579 What about me?"
28579What are you doing here?
28579What are you going to do after you get your new farm? 28579 What d''ye say if we sell the old farm anyway, and then if this mine business do n''t look good, we''ll plunk it into farm land?"
28579What d''ye think of it, Dad?
28579What d''ye think of it, Dad?
28579What d''ye think, Dad? 28579 What did he build it for?
28579What do you mean? 28579 What do you mean?"
28579What do you think of that?
28579What do you want a gun for?
28579What do you want to go to town for again to- night, anyway?
28579What do you worry about? 28579 What does it mean, John?"
28579What does it mean?
28579What have you done to him?
28579What if I clear out through the night?
28579What is it, Jack? 28579 What is it, Uncle Fred?"
28579What is it?
28579What is your business, Aleck?
28579What kept you?
28579What like wheat can ye grow?
28579What matters if-- if everything''s all right?
28579What notion''s this father''s got about Riles, do you suppose, mother?
28579What plans have you made? 28579 What shall we eat?"
28579What''s that?
28579What''s the matter, Dad?
28579What''s the matter, Uncle Fred? 28579 Whatche doing, Harris?"
28579Where do you come in on this deal? 28579 Where do you think of goin''?"
28579Where going, Dad?
28579Where in Sam Hill did you come from?
28579Where is this coal mine, and who''s got it?
28579Where''s Beulah?
28579Where''s Beulah?
28579Where''s Harris going?
28579Where''s some paper?
28579Where''s your mother, Beulah?
28579Who says that?
28579Who''s there?
28579Who, Beulah? 28579 Who, Dad?
28579Who, me?
28579Why are the cows not milked?
28579Why do n''t you get married, Mac?
28579Why not? 28579 Why should you be so insistent?"
28579Why, whatever has happened?
28579Why?
28579You ai n''t goin''t''wait till a railroad comes, are you? 28579 You did n''t expect he''d wait to kiss you good- bye, did you?"
28579You did n''t figure on seeing me here, did you?
28579You do n''t learn anything, Riles, do you? 28579 You do n''t mean that you intend to sell this farm?"
28579You do n''t mean that you''d do anythin''--anythin''that was n''t right?
28579You do n''t mean to say you have stayed here just on my account?
28579You do n''t say? 28579 You got the land fever, too?"
28579You had the facts-- why did n''t you patch them together for yourself? 28579 You have n''t got a gun you could lend me, I suppose?"
28579You know Gardiner?
28579You know we have been losing calves with the timber wolves? 28579 You mean if we do n''t come through, they will?"
28579You understand that, do n''t you? 28579 You would n''t do that?"
28579You''ll be chipping in at the same time?
28579You''ll be looking for land?
28579You''ll promise, wo n''t you? 28579 You''re leaving us, Beulah?"
28579You''re not going to leave us, mother, are you?
28579You''re not going to leave your ploughing, are you?
28579You''re sure you''ll want me?
28579You? 28579 Your oldest pupil must be-- let me see-- not less than eight?"
28579''Can you ride?''
28579Ai n''t I your father?"
28579Ai n''t that worth a sacrifice?"
28579An''the good wives?
28579An''why for would ye fence a farm, ye unsociable body?
28579And after all, had n''t it been worth while?
28579And ai n''t I ready to do the same with the new homestead, if that''s the sticker?"
28579And are there two windows?
28579And did you see the mountains this morning?
28579And have n''t they been thick as molasses this while back?
28579And if I get my price, why should n''t I sell?"
28579And if it comes to a show- down, and he must go-- well, he must, but you and I will stay with the old farm, wo n''t we, mother?"
28579And if you get more land wo n''t all your troubles be increased in proportion?
28579And in the meantime he''s forgetting the things that would satisfy-- the love that was ours, the little devo-- Oh, child, what am I saying?
28579And then, when I get settled on my own homestead, you''ll come and keep house for me, wo n''t you?"
28579And were not all his labours directed toward increasing her reserve against the rainy day?
28579And when Dad gets settled again, and gets all these worries off his mind, then things''ll be different, and you''ll come, even if he is there?"
28579And, as I said before, what are you going to do about it?
28579Are you ill?"
28579Are you shot?"
28579Aside from you, why should I call this place home?
28579At first it numbed him a little, and his face was a strange colour as he turned to his companion, and said, in a low voice,"Ai n''t it risky?
28579But have we the happiness we knew when we had none of these?
28579But he had suffered for their sakes, holding fast to his own course because he knew it to be best... Best?
28579But what am I thinkin''of?
28579But who is the third?"
28579But why--""Why, dear, do n''t you see?
28579But you''re not really goin''to let her go?
28579By the way, perhaps you know him-- comes from Plainville part-- Travers his name is?"
28579Ca n''t you use a marked cheque, or a draft on a Calgary bank?"
28579Could it be this old cabin, these rotting logs, this earthy floor, that were stirring memory cells asleep for twenty years?
28579Could n''t you fix it some way to get the money without coming back, if everything looks all right?
28579Could n''t your wife do her visitin''no other time?"
28579D''ye want me to tell ye a story?"
28579Dead as ever?"
28579Did n''t he give her a good home, with plenty to eat and wear, and a little money to spend from time to time, and no questions asked?
28579Did n''t she always do as she was told?
28579Did n''t you promise toast?
28579Do n''t you complain about the kind of help the farmers have to hire nowadays, and the wages they have to pay?
28579Do n''t you see what I mean?
28579Do you know?"
28579Do you mean that she has run away?"
28579Do you want to see that, too?"
28579For God''s sake, what has happened?
28579Frost, or somethin''?"
28579Gardiner showed no disposition to reopen the conversation about Plainville, so at last Riles asked,"How d''you know I was here?"
28579Gardiner?"
28579Had he been asleep?
28579Had they been shot down as they wound through the woods?
28579Harris was rushing about the rotten floor in the darkness, crying,"What is it, Allan?
28579Harris, Harris, what did you waste time arguing for?"
28579Harris... I think we are quite ready now, are we not?"
28579Harris?"
28579Harris?"
28579Harris?"
28579Harrises well, I hope?"
28579Have I got to die on end, like a murderer?"
28579Have n''t I given you everything-- given you a home, and all that, and are you goin''to defy me in my own house?"
28579Have you no sentiment that will save it from the highest bidder?"
28579Have you yours?"
28579He felt that he was entitled to this, for was it not for her that he was making the sacrifice?
28579He says there''s all kinds o''money in it, an''I reckon that''s what we came out here for, ai n''t it?"
28579He''s worth yards of money, ai n''t he?"
28579Him''at lit out from Plainville after that stealin''affair?"
28579His father was clambering to his feet with"Allan, what is it?
28579How about this plan of yours?"
28579How d''ye like this air?
28579How does it suit you?"
28579How is he?
28579How is it you go back on me in a moment like this?
28579How juhdo, Princhessh?"
28579How much can he raise?"
28579How much is a ticket to Calgary?"
28579How you makin''it go you''self?"
28579How''s everybody?
28579How''s that suit you?"
28579How''s the old burg?
28579How?"
28579I do n''t care how much you''re worth-- how much is Harris bringing with him?"
28579I suppose you think the horses will stable themselves?
28579I''d--""Would you live in a shack?"
28579I''ll give you one more chance to answer me-- what kept you?"
28579If somebody else wants it worse''n we do, and has the money to pay for it, why should n''t I sell it?"
28579If the soil was n''t all right it would n''t grow native crops like that, would it?"
28579Is he here, and-- is he fit?"
28579Is n''t that something worth breathing?"
28579Is the policeman gone?
28579Is there any place in town she would be likely to go to?
28579Is this place-- this home where we have grown old and grey-- nothing to you?
28579Is your old gink up in the hills coming through for half?"
28579It would be a plain, simple life, but Beulah was accustomed-- What had Beulah to do with it?
28579It''d be easy enough to get away with the stuff, but how''d you turn it into money?
28579Lots of fellows are making big money just because they had some capital to work with, and why should n''t we do it, too?
28579McCrae?"
28579More than that, did n''t I put the title to the homestead in your name?
28579Morrison?"
28579No harm in having one along, is there?"
28579No home?
28579Nothing that has happened, or can happen, will keep you from making my home yours, will it?
28579Nothing unusual about a wife going with her husband, is there?"
28579Now can you think of anything?"
28579Now, will you come with me or wait for the seven?
28579Now, will you take first shot?"
28579Of course, you remember that I have n''t promised to put up a dollar unless I like the looks of the mine when I see it?"
28579On the contrary, are you not worried morning, noon, and night over your work and your property?
28579Or to keep the badgers in?
28579Perhaps Mrs. Harris is down East?
28579Say, Jim, honest goods,"she demanded, pausing and facing him, milk stool in hand,"why do you let father put this kind of stuff over on you?"
28579Say, Jim, honest, what makes you do it?"
28579Seven dollars?
28579Shall I tell you what I know?"
28579Shay, whash thish?
28579She is n''t back yet?"
28579Shildren v Ishrul?"
28579Siberia or Patagonia?
28579T''tell the time by?
28579That''d be safer, would n''t it?"
28579That''s the way you feel about it too, is n''t it?"
28579The only question is, Can they grow anything on that land out there?"
28579Then suddenly he demanded:"Shay, Harris, where you takin''me to, anyway?"
28579They''ve got a murd''rer in there now-- Oh, say"--with a sudden change in his voice--"maybe he''s somethin''to you?
28579To keep the gophers out?
28579To take off his boots in?
28579Twenty years, eh, Jim?
28579Was n''t he a good father?
28579Was n''t it over wasting time with her that Jim got fired, and not a word of admission of the real facts from him?
28579Was n''t it when we lived in the one- roomed sod shanty, with scarcely a cent to bless ourselves?
28579Was not all he had hers?
28579We did n''t, John; you were too busy with your wheat and your cattle, and I was too busy with my house- work, and what have we made of it?
28579We have the chance to choose now between life and land; wo n''t you think it all over again and let us seek that which is really worth while?"
28579We''d better find a corner post an?
28579We--""But who_ does_ own the mine?"
28579Well, I guess I beat you all out, eh?
28579Were you expecting him to meet you?''
28579West, is it, or East?
28579What about Mrs. Goode''s boarding- house?
28579What about him?"
28579What are we here for, anyway?
28579What are you chasing-- more land?"
28579What cold breath of dread had crossed his path?
28579What d''you say?"
28579What do you say?"
28579What do you think of it?
28579What has happened?"
28579What have you been foolin''about?"
28579What home?
28579What if he did keep your old engine waiting?
28579What if the police catch on?"
28579What is it, Allan?"
28579What more account mine than yours?"
28579What more could a man do than that?
28579What more do you want than that?
