10164 | You will forgive me, wo n''t you? |
10164 | And they asked each other over and over again,"Did anybody ever hear of such ingratitude?" |
10164 | Are we just to him?" |
10164 | Are you?" |
10164 | But come now, do n''t you want to go to bed? |
10164 | But if he were to lose his money he could n''t travel dead broke, could he, Da?" |
10164 | But what are you goin''to do, dear? |
10164 | But, tell me, how does this Fred get on? |

10164 | Grant?" |
10164 | He''s working for you, Milt, is n''t he?" |
10164 | How dare he think that I would do anything that I should n''t? |
10164 | How far am I from there now?" |
10164 | How''s your socks? |
10164 | I came over here for shelter-- the driver ran after the team, and then these infernal fishhooks got hold of me-- what are they, anyway?" |
10164 | I have followed her career with interest and predict great things for her-- have I not, Miss Hastings? |
10164 | I know she is happy with you-- happier than she has been with any of us-- but what will people think? |
10164 | If Evelyn had gone back on him what good was anything to him? |
10164 | Is he as green as most Englishmen?" |
10164 | Is it expedient? |
10164 | Is it wise? |
10164 | Is n''t that a thriller?" |
10164 | Is this a blizzard?" |
10164 | Just beside the gate he found a bread crust which was lovely, and there might be more, might n''t there? |
10164 | Maud, can you guess it?" |
10164 | Mrs. Trenton always asked, Is it right? |
10164 | Now what do you think of that, Da?" |
10164 | Of course, it was too small for pigeons, but there were going to be little ones very soon, were n''t there? |
10164 | Oh, Maggie, would a duck swim?" |
10164 | Saved, and by whom? |
10164 | She grabbed the doctor''s hand, and says she, kind of chokin''up, all at once,''You''ll do your best for Jim''s sake, wo n''t you?'' |
10164 | Some of them drank, eh? |
10164 | This is my reward, is it, for giving up everything for you? |
10164 | Was it an inspiration from heaven, or was it a suggestion of the devil? |
10164 | Was n''t it nice of him?" |
10164 | Was n''t that right?" |
10164 | What was this simple child of nature driving at? |
10164 | What''s this Fred fellow like?" |
10164 | When are you going to let me get up?" |
10164 | When she had finished, Mrs. Trenton asked:"Is it wise-- is it kind? |
10164 | Where is he?" |
10164 | Who was Evelyn writing to? |
10164 | Why bring her back? |
10164 | Why ca n''t you go off and leave them alone, Rance? |
10164 | Why had the world gone so suddenly wrong? |
10164 | Why 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? |
10164 | Will she ever forgive me, do you think?" |
10164 | Would I? |
10164 | Would n''t it be awful if the old man should come up here and find she''d gone with Rance Belmont?" |
10164 | is that why? |
21697 | A beast? 21697 Am I dreaming?" |
21697 | Am I, then, so rude, so callous? |
21697 | An''he''ll not be for sellin''you the knowl? |
21697 | An''ma mere-- my moder, ole Liz Rollin, an''ole Daddy, has you hear of dem? |
21697 | An''what may that pe? |
21697 | And Angus Macdonald, what of him? |
21697 | And father also, I suppose? |
21697 | And fight? |
21697 | And what induces you now to bring him back? |
21697 | And what of my father, Samuel Ravenshaw? |
21697 | And you return? |
21697 | And, Elsie,he added, in a deeper voice, drawing her nearer,"will you accept the hunter?" |
21697 | Better and better,said Victor;"and what of the people?" |
21697 | Bless me, Ian, iss it jokin''ye are? |
21697 | But what about the house on fire? |
21697 | But why did you not bring Ian Macdonald along with you, Vic? |
21697 | But why did you not help him in the hunt? |
21697 | But why hesitate? |
21697 | By the way,asked Ian,"was not poor John Flett nearly drowned about the beginning of the flood?" |
21697 | Can it pe possible? 21697 Changed? |
21697 | Come, 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?" |
21697 | Did he see you? |
21697 | Did you ever see Paradise, that you know so well what it is like? |
21697 | Did you feel_ that_, Peegwish? |
21697 | Do Christians swear, an''drink, and fight, and get angry till the blood makes the face blue, and strike with the fist? |
21697 | Do n''t you know? |
21697 | Do n''t you think, Sam, that we might have the barn prepared, in case some of our neighbours have to leave their houses? |
21697 | Do you think it safe to stay? |
21697 | Doomed? 21697 Eh, zoo got''i m by heart a''ready? |
21697 | Eh? |
21697 | Give up Tony? 21697 Hallo, Flett, d''ee want help?" |
21697 | Has my Indian father ever found Tonyquat telling lies? |
21697 | Has the wedding come off yet? |
21697 | Have n''t swallowed much water, I hope? |
21697 | Have you found a tree? |
21697 | Have you got everything you want, Ian? |
21697 | Have you got your powder- horn and bullets handy? |
21697 | Have you seen anything of Herr Winklemann lately? |
21697 | Hef you forgotten the cawtie? |
21697 | How can the pole- star guide one? |
21697 | How d''you know that I do n''t like it? |
21697 | How zat poss''ble? |
21697 | I do n''t know,she said, bending quickly over her work;"how should_ I_ know? |
21697 | I killed ten animals myself, and Ian Macdonald missed fifteen; Winklemann dropped six, besides dropping himself--"Vat is dat you zay? |
21697 | I say, Vic,remarked Ian, with a significant smile,"why wo n''t you go after the buffalo?" |
21697 | Indeed, and what like was it, and what sort of people were there? |
21697 | Is Lambert''s own house safe? |
21697 | Is Louis Lambert with you? |
21697 | Is Tonyquat a Christian? |
21697 | Is it melliferous, then? |
21697 | Is it true? 21697 Is n''t Samuel looking after it?" |
21697 | Is n''t it? |
21697 | It''ll no pe for sellin''the knowl, ye are? |
21697 | Mine boy, have he comin''back? |
21697 | Nay, but you do n''t object to my answering it, do you? |
21697 | No bones broken? |
21697 | Nobody objects to your having it all your own way,retorted Victor, somewhat testily,"but why should you be so secret about it? |
21697 | Not much hurt, I hope? |
21697 | Oh man, man, what for did ye leave us? |
21697 | Peegwish,he said, quickly dropping the things with which he had been busy,"is there a stout rope anywhere? |
21697 | Shall ve go an''chase dem? |
21697 | Succeed? 21697 The truth?" |
21697 | Tonyquat is a boy who keeps his word? |
21697 | True, but how does that sentiment accord with your wish that you might spend eternity in hunting buffalo? |
21697 | Tut, 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?" |
21697 | Vas you ever here before? |
21697 | Vat is dat you say? 21697 Vat is dat?" |

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