| 60649 | But is it any wonder we were having to increase the size of the saucers to space- haul all that jag- whiff up through the rattleballs? |
| 59556 | Are they intelligent? 59556 How do they act?" |
| 59556 | In what way were they dangerous to us? 59556 What ai n''t there?" |
| 59556 | Are they civilized? |
| 59556 | How do they breathe?" |
| 59556 | That''s funny, ai n''t it?" |
| 59556 | What do they look like?" |
| 29504 | But where did you all sleep? |
| 29504 | Running the water, eh? 29504 The Martian''s taking a bath?" |
| 29504 | Well, have you thought of something? |
| 29504 | What are you going to do? |
| 29504 | _ What''s he doing in there?_"He may be dead or dying,the Professor''s Coltish Daughter suggested briskly. |
| 29504 | You_ did n''t_ give up your only bed to me?" |
| 30454 | Did your brother send you anything? |
| 30454 | Have n''t you told him yet? |
| 30454 | How did you know that? |
| 30454 | What did you want? |
| 30454 | Who do you think you are? |
| 30454 | Yes, sir? |
| 30454 | Your names are Ruth and Ralph Gilraut? 30454 And you want permission to move into Housing Perimeter D? |
| 30454 | Are you crazy?" |
| 30454 | Carol said,"That was Dad, was n''t it?" |
| 30454 | Did you see me plow through that crowd waiting for the auto bus?" |
| 30454 | She asked teasingly,"What did you get me for my birthday, Johnny? |
| 30454 | Something real nice?" |
| 62097 | Can this be the fulfilment of the old legend of Gamtl? |
| 62097 | What did he do? |
| 62097 | You know what this is, Beany, old boy? |
| 62097 | Could this be the time of resurrection which Mars was promised by the old myth? |
| 62097 | From whence had this stranger come? |
| 62097 | Got any lawns you want mowed, or houses I can haunt? |
| 62097 | How could this thick- tentacled, hideous- faced being bring Mars back to its old lost glory? |
| 62097 | What was that? |
| 62097 | Where did the trickle of water go? |
| 62097 | Why do n''t you oil them?" |
| 62097 | Why had the Martian gone off the deep end when he had tried to increase the volume of water flowing through_ the_ pipes? |
| 62097 | Why was it so small? |
| 62241 | Are these the most dangerous creatures on Earth? |
| 62241 | Are these things likely to be dangerous to Martians? |
| 62241 | Are-- are they the worst sort of fiend common around here? |
| 62241 | But why should he tell me such tales? |
| 62241 | Dragons? |
| 62241 | Eh? |
| 62241 | Even the lower animals can fly; what then may we expect of the higher creatures, the intelligent races? |
| 62241 | Is aught amiss? |
| 62241 | Is it-- is it possible that an invisible fiend might be present even here? |
| 62241 | Just what are their habits? |
| 62241 | Uh-- where do these brutes live? |
| 62241 | What do you say to an intelligent race now, Zesmo? |
| 62241 | Wot ye not what dragons be? |
| 62241 | Would you mind telling me what you''re so happy about? |
| 61942 | Brought plenty of water? |
| 61942 | Glad we showed up? |
| 61942 | That long? |
| 61942 | What are those? |
| 61942 | What happened? |
| 61942 | What''s your tag? |
| 61942 | Where are we? |
| 61942 | Yes? |
| 61942 | You''d like to see us die of thirst, would n''t you? |
| 61942 | But what did the Martians expect him to do? |
| 61942 | Get that?" |
| 61942 | Obviously the natives wanted him to start their machine but how could he? |
| 61942 | Pete''s face twitched with strain as he spoke:"Smart kid? |
| 61942 | What chance had he had to learn in a land where everything withered under the scorching sun, and where only ugly venomous creatures survived? |
| 61942 | What had maddened them to their deed? |
| 61942 | When''s the soonest we can expect to get to Propontis?" |
| 59376 | But how did they know? 59376 Darling, why did you run away?" |
| 59376 | If the Mars Corporation controls the spaceports, how did you get to Earth? |
| 59376 | Now, musician,said Meta, leaning over the table so that her powdered breasts brushed the glassware,"tell me, what was that last number you played?" |
| 59376 | Rebels? |
| 59376 | The Friends? |
| 59376 | What in Saturn? |
| 59376 | Where do you think I get the wealth you''ve been living on, darling? 59376 Why should I sup with painted popinjays when I can adore genius?" |
| 59376 | Why you? |
| 59376 | You''re one of the Charax rebels? |
| 59376 | A hundred million? |
| 59376 | Fifty million? |
| 59376 | Have you ever seen anything like this on Mars?" |
| 59376 | How did you know?" |
| 59376 | The concert went smoothly before-- how many listeners? |
| 59376 | Two hundred million? |
| 62078 | Could one of you swim out there and steer that boat around to the lower side of the island? |
| 62078 | Ill bred young man is n''t he? |
| 62078 | Jokar Ged? |
| 62078 | Uh? |
| 62078 | What does Jokar Ged desire so greatly here upon the hilltop-- the wrecked_ Indra_? |
| 62078 | Why do you fight? |
| 62078 | Will you be driven back by a little stick that spits lead? 62078 You are Prince Hudar Kel?" |
| 62078 | *****"And now,"Rurak demanded,"why did you follow us? |
| 62078 | After so many years would there be any shred of the wreckage left above the lush foliage of the jungle? |
| 62078 | But why this sudden interest in our whereabouts? |
| 62078 | Did you come to find where my ship crashed, or are you merely carrying out a routine exploration of this planet? |
| 62078 | Is it only because our two planets are in apposition? |
| 62078 | Surely a third son of a Martian emperor is not worthy of a special expedition?" |
| 62078 | Until then....""Yes,"asked Nitha, smiling,"until then?" |
| 62078 | We got away did n''t we?" |
| 62078 | What has happened on Mars?" |
| 62078 | Will you take me to him at once?" |
| 62426 | But-- the lights,_ Mor_ Thak? 62426 Could lights be seen through a roof?" |
| 62426 | How can you be so very sure of that? |
| 62426 | How can you say, old one, that people of intelligence live on the blue planet? 62426 More power wasted? |
| 62426 | What about it? |
| 62426 | What is this, Thak? |
| 62426 | Whoever heard of a city without a roof? |
| 62426 | You have followed the work of our last great physicist,_ Mor_ Gran? |
| 62426 | You have taken two years of labor by dozens of workers, and for what? 62426 You mean,"asked an alert youngster named Rofan,"the probability tables worked out by him? |
| 62426 | And now, if you are quite ready to leave--?" |
| 62426 | How was this accomplished?" |
| 62426 | Showing that the end is near for our race?" |
| 62426 | Something was wrong with the picture... what was it? |
| 62426 | Then came your war--""Space warps?" |
| 62426 | What was the result of this scientific trickery?" |
| 62426 | You have heard of controlled space warps?" |
| 61843 | Alive, and adrift in space? 61843 But the purpose, Keith? |
| 61843 | But what would that get you? 61843 How?" |
| 61843 | Ships? 61843 They wo n''t?" |
| 61843 | When shall we try it? |
| 61843 | You mean--? |
| 61843 | You say,he questioned, addressing Bormon,"that there are other men on Echo-- Earthmen being used as slaves?" |
| 61843 | And of what does a big magnet remind you?" |
| 61843 | But what of Calbur? |
| 61843 | But where was Calbur? |
| 61843 | Could he last? |
| 61843 | What was about to happen? |
| 61843 | What''s the scheme?" |
| 61843 | Where?" |
| 61843 | Who are they?" |
| 61843 | Why not destroy their communications, fix things so they could n''t call for help from Mars? |
| 61843 | Would n''t a Mart guard be sure to come along to investigate?" |
| 61843 | You say they''re building ships? |
| 51663 | And you can do this for humans too? |
| 51663 | And you could n''t stand that, could you, poor boy? |
| 51663 | How is this, then, for an alternative? 51663 How?" |
| 51663 | Martians can play tricks with time? |
| 51663 | Now,fluted the creature, turning and fixing her with golden, freewheeling eyes,"what brings a tourist"( the word was a curse)"here at this hour?" |
| 51663 | There are others here? |
| 51663 | Two ceremonial tears? |
| 51663 | What did the real Martians make here? 51663 What did you say, human?" |
| 51663 | Yes, Miss? |
| 51663 | You-- you''re not just another, fancier, robot? |
| 51663 | A bird? |
| 51663 | Can you hold your time spotlight still here for, say, ten years?" |
| 51663 | Dreams? |
| 51663 | How can I repay you?" |
| 51663 | How long would it be, she wondered as she passed on with a sigh, before the guides realized that even those mute tapes could be sold as souvenirs? |
| 51663 | On Mars? |
| 51663 | See the sun and its planets forming out of cosmic dust? |
| 51663 | Snowflakes? |
| 51663 | Surely not policemen here? |
| 51663 | What may I show you?" |
| 51663 | What was it the guides had said about the way in which all intelligent lifeforms so far discovered closely resembled one another? |
| 51663 | Wind bells? |
| 62085 | But what do you or any other earthmen know about what goes on in their round red heads? 62085 But why?" |
| 62085 | Deviltry? |
| 62085 | Hold me for trial? |
| 62085 | How were you able to force your way in here? |
| 62085 | Killing? |
| 62085 | Music? |
| 62085 | Supersonics? |
| 62085 | Then you admit killing Haller? |
| 62085 | To make them change the tune and break up the revolt? |
| 62085 | What happened? |
| 62085 | What kind of deviltry is this? |
| 62085 | What... what is it? |
| 62085 | Where are they? |
| 62085 | While the real killer, the person playing that music, gets away? 62085 You mean they''re what created the emotions inside me just now?" |
| 62085 | You sent to Earth a while ago for an operator? |
| 62085 | And who''s next? |
| 62085 | But suppose during that period with no check on their activities, they started to dish out nationalist propaganda? |
| 62085 | Haller?" |
| 62085 | I might believe you, Ranson, but how many other people would? |
| 62085 | What makes you think there''s been foul play?" |
| 62085 | Who?" |
| 62085 | You begin to see the set- up? |
| 62085 | You have played our tunes to the remaining two, Zeila?" |
| 31736 | All finished, Blue Boy? 31736 Are you anxious to get back to Mars?" |
| 31736 | Do you have to wear that barbaric face- paint? |
| 31736 | He''s approximately seven feet tall, Sylvie,said Hoppy,"and what do you want here, anyway?" |
| 31736 | How about singing one of your tribal songs for us? |
| 31736 | How do you chase nothing? |
| 31736 | How do you do? |
| 31736 | See? |
| 31736 | What is wrong with them? |
| 31736 | What kind of a fool are you? 31736 Why did you do that?" |
| 31736 | Why not punish them? |
| 31736 | Why? |
| 31736 | And may I point out that your tone is hostile?" |
| 31736 | As they left the Global Dreamcasting System building, Gavir said to Malcomb,"Can we go to a bookstore tonight?" |
| 31736 | Back behind the Preserve Barrier that killed you instantly if you stepped too close to it? |
| 31736 | Back to that world of hopeless fear and hatred? |
| 31736 | Back to the constant fear of being seized by MDC guards for a labor pool, to wind up in the MDC mines? |
| 31736 | Coming, Gavir?" |
| 31736 | He said,"Sylvie, why-- well, why are you the way you are? |
| 31736 | How about that, Bluie?" |
| 31736 | How tall are you, Blue Boy?" |
| 31736 | Now what kind of a song could you do for the Farfel Flisket show?" |
| 31736 | Okay?" |
| 31736 | The Suppression of Aggression is the Foundation of Civilization, eh?" |
| 31736 | Why-- and how-- have you broken away from Ethical Conditioning?" |
| 63474 | Five times that much? |
| 63474 | How did you learn I had the money? |
| 63474 | If we bet duchal and lost, we''d only have to pay the Martians a little... sensation of agony at losing the game? |
| 63474 | Is the game over? |
| 63474 | See that line? 63474 That''s what they were betting?" |
| 63474 | Trick? 63474 What in hell is duchal?" |
| 63474 | What''s the matter? |
| 63474 | What''s your name? |
| 63474 | Where do you work? |
| 63474 | Where? |
| 63474 | Why the hell are they living in dumps like this when they have that kind of stuff? 63474 You ready to start?" |
| 63474 | A Martian? |
| 63474 | A thin Martian with grey hair and watery eyes asked,"You vish gamble?" |
| 63474 | An animal? |
| 63474 | Call for help? |
| 63474 | Farrell laughed at the thought,"Martian_ friends_?" |
| 63474 | His imagination? |
| 63474 | How can I trick you? |
| 63474 | How could he escape? |
| 63474 | How much would that be on the dial on that gimmick?" |
| 63474 | Monee or duchal?" |
| 63474 | See the Martian with the green tunic? |
| 63474 | The Martian smiled weakly and inquired in broken English,"Vhot is vager? |
| 63474 | You and I will be the only--"The man cocked his head and asked,"You have any Martian friends in Dankor?" |
| 63474 | You''ve heard of a Martian game called rhakal?" |
| 63474 | _ What''s the difference?_ Farrell thought. |
| 62258 | Bear arms? |
| 62258 | Did you see that, Pete? |
| 62258 | Ever hear of one before? |
| 62258 | Gena-- how long? |
| 62258 | How is it then,he questioned calmly,"that the warriors that captured me did not learn my language, nor read my thoughts?" |
| 62258 | How''d they get you, Pete? |
| 62258 | Then I still weigh one hundred and eighty pounds? |
| 62258 | Then the Metiphron males do n''t bear arms? |
| 62258 | Then you are not speaking to me in American? 62258 Then, if you and your people use only the language of the mind, how does it happen that I heard spoken words which I did not understand?" |
| 62258 | What is it like-- on Earth? 62258 What kind of a fish do you call that?" |
| 62258 | What the devil? |
| 62258 | What''s on that jig? 62258 Who enters the flagship of the First One? |
| 62258 | Why do n''t you maneuver the ship? |
| 62258 | You know how to reach one of them, Gena? |
| 62258 | A shark? |
| 62258 | But fight?" |
| 62258 | But for how long? |
| 62258 | He said:"What''s the idea, girls? |
| 62258 | How had she known what he was thinking? |
| 62258 | Or was it a few hours? |
| 62258 | Their motives?" |
| 62258 | This some kind of a new game?" |
| 62258 | What had happened to him and Storm? |
| 62258 | Where is it, Gena?" |
| 62258 | Where was he? |
| 32284 | And I''m your foolproof machine for detecting life? |
| 32284 | But are you_ sure_ he''s_ completely_ self- powered? |
| 32284 | But how could Rell possibly be out there? |
| 32284 | But if the Rell inside are too large to have developed intelligence, how could this gigantic monster in which they live have done so? |
| 32284 | But where do the thought waves come from? 32284 By here... do you mean_ right_ here?" |
| 32284 | In what way? |
| 32284 | Is it moving? |
| 32284 | Is it safe now? |
| 32284 | Is it safe to go near that thing? |
| 32284 | Meaning me? |
| 32284 | No Rell inside him at all? |
| 32284 | The entire mind? |
| 32284 | Then ca n''t we appropriate at least part of it? |
| 32284 | Thought wave? 32284 What about him? |
| 32284 | What do we do now? |
| 32284 | What was that? |
| 32284 | Where is it going? |
| 32284 | Where is the moisture coming from? |
| 32284 | Who mentioned Rell? |
| 32284 | You''re positive they are n''t the product of some of the Rell- beings inside? |
| 32284 | And if they survived a few hundred thousand years longer... or if they had perished a similar period earlier, what actual difference did it make? |
| 32284 | But what is the flame doing?" |
| 32284 | But what use are even canals when there is nothing to fill them? |
| 32284 | But who can say about organisms on another world or of the unprecedented size of this one? |
| 32284 | Does n''t that mean Rell would be inside?" |
| 32284 | How hot is that exhaust?" |
| 32284 | The speculative bank replied,"Artificial implies intelligence, and intelligence means Rell...""Does it?" |
| 32284 | What hope of any brighter future for those in the North? |
| 32284 | What is he like?" |
| 32284 | What would you like to know first?" |
| 32487 | And that-- condition? |
| 32487 | To what? |
| 32487 | We believed them-- why not? 32487 Who says you''re a friend?" |
| 32487 | You''d have to know their positions out there to make contact, would n''t you? |
| 32487 | ''They''--who the hell are''they''? |
| 32487 | *****"Ferris?" |
| 32487 | But there were no roses on dead planets--"Earthman, can you still hear?" |
| 32487 | But who held out their hand like this? |
| 32487 | But-- are you calm now?" |
| 32487 | Condition Untenable-- Return....""That is all you can say?" |
| 32487 | For the last time, what happened out there?" |
| 32487 | God damn you, what are you going to do to me?" |
| 32487 | Hostile? |
| 32487 | How far had he walked; how long? |
| 32487 | In the process of analyzing you, we discovered that you were totally unprepared for Space- flight, and therefore--""Unprepared? |
| 32487 | Is that understood?" |
| 32487 | Let alone a psibeam unit? |
| 32487 | Not this success that seemed-- what was the_ word_? |
| 32487 | Right?" |
| 32487 | Since when can those gypsies build anything more complex than a crude electrical generator? |
| 32487 | Somehow Central Patrol has got to get that unit back._""_ You''re certain it was a theft, then?_""_ Do n''t be an idiot. |
| 32487 | What did they really want? |
| 32487 | What do you think all those months of physical conditioning were for? |
| 32487 | What does Kaarn say?_""_ He says we should never have allowed the theft._"_ Andruul cursed. |
| 32487 | What kind of game was it? |
| 32487 | What were the strings? |
| 32487 | Whoever did anything like that? |
| 32487 | Why not shut off the valves now? |
| 32487 | Will you accept us in like manner?" |
| 32487 | Yeah, and all those damned textbooks? |
| 32487 | _ Janes_?" |
| 63529 | And they developed the white mist there in the Crypt, and brought the old Earthman who taught you hypnotism? |
| 63529 | And us? |
| 63529 | And what will you do, Barry Williams, after the Permanent Ambassador has been appointed and sent here? |
| 63529 | But what-- why? |
| 63529 | But-- what is there? |
| 63529 | Can it be? |
| 63529 | Can the mist reach up to the end of atmosphere,he asked,"where their ships can go to compress clear air? |
| 63529 | Do n''t you know impervium when you see it? |
| 63529 | Do n''t you trust me yet? 63529 Does your written history give no clue of a time when the Crypt was anything but a burial place?" |
| 63529 | Is that clear? |
| 63529 | Is the answer as simple as this? |
| 63529 | Justice from the Crypt, eh? 63529 My loyal followers wiped out-- the mist, our weapon, swept from the planet?" |
| 63529 | Then this is defeat? |
| 63529 | What are you doing? |
| 63529 | What did he mean then? |
| 63529 | What is this? |
| 63529 | What weapon could be there? |
| 63529 | Why do n''t you take these men prisoners,Barry asked,"instead of killing them?" |
| 63529 | ***** Was it fancy, or did the chanting of voices ring in his ears, muffled weirdly by the shroud about him? |
| 63529 | And a third questioned:"How could a man get out of that mist alive?" |
| 63529 | And, if so, can the mist reach across space to Earth, from where Grey''s freighters can bring compressed air?" |
| 63529 | But why had n''t they seen Grey and the Martians? |
| 63529 | How could we murder or rob them-- since they''re not human and own nothing?" |
| 63529 | Was it the name of the lovely Martian girl, she who seemed to be the leader of these men? |
| 63529 | Why had n''t they seen him? |
| 63529 | Why had the white mist not destroyed him? |
| 63529 | Why was he doing this? |
| 30539 | Are n''t you going to get some sleep? |
| 30539 | Do you want to die? 30539 Do you want your money back, Smith?" |
| 30539 | Facts? |
| 30539 | I still do n''t like your--"My outspoken manner? 30539 I''ll grant the truth of what you say,"he told Larkin,"but what good were the pyramids? |
| 30539 | Then we''re in-- is that it? 30539 There''s still another test?" |
| 30539 | Why wait? 30539 Will you tell me,"Smith asked,"why we have to sit here drinking like a pack of fools? |
| 30539 | Would they have ever been built if the men up above-- the men with vision-- had had to worry about a payroll? |
| 30539 | You do n''t think they''re aware yet that we_ are_ their masters? |
| 30539 | You mean,Smith asked,"that this little scene can be projected from a dozen to a hundred? |
| 30539 | You think it''s safe? |
| 30539 | And what empire can arise without free labor? |
| 30539 | Are we or are we not, on the threshold of wealth, splendor, and progress so great as to take away the breath?" |
| 30539 | Can it be harnessed? |
| 30539 | Can we develop this planet at union scale? |
| 30539 | From a hundred to a thousand--?" |
| 30539 | Get it? |
| 30539 | Get it? |
| 30539 | Get that? |
| 30539 | Had it ever been great? |
| 30539 | He wiped the foam from his mustache and asked,"What do you think?" |
| 30539 | Hit hard or maybe it gives the whip-- understand?" |
| 30539 | Is it here? |
| 30539 | Pick''em up, see? |
| 30539 | Were the bones of any dead civilizations mouldering beneath this strange yellow soil? |
| 30539 | What are you waiting for?" |
| 30539 | What was greatness after all? |
| 30539 | You like to gold- brick it? |
| 30539 | You''re lazy, huh? |
| 63523 | But how could we get into the ship? 63523 But why?" |
| 63523 | Do you think I will let her go alone? 63523 How does it work?" |
| 63523 | Since when do the women of our tribe travel from the cliffs alone? |
| 63523 | Tell me,Ro interrupted,"did you meet any rat men when you took the sphere?" |
| 63523 | Tell me,he asked suddenly,"where is this strange place you come from? |
| 63523 | Was it fear of Grimm that prevented it? |
| 63523 | What do you want with that? |
| 63523 | What have we done? 63523 What is it?" |
| 63523 | What manner of a place is this Earth? |
| 63523 | What of my father? |
| 63523 | Who is Na? |
| 63523 | Why do n''t you take her for your wife here on Mars? 63523 Why me?" |
| 63523 | Why not Carlson? 63523 You say they came from a place called Earth?" |
| 63523 | And how is it that you can speak and cause others to speak with their minds?" |
| 63523 | Apology accepted?" |
| 63523 | Finally the man with the silver hair asked,"Why did you risk your life to rescue us?" |
| 63523 | He finished his explanation with,"But why?" |
| 63523 | It was Carlson who asked,"How do you expect the six of us to attack the rat men?" |
| 63523 | Now tell me, what is it like here on Mars? |
| 63523 | Or are you saving him for your daughter?" |
| 63523 | Surely he did n''t fall to the Oan?" |
| 63523 | What better ceremony than a kiss and a promise?" |
| 63523 | What kind of a woodsman did he think I was?" |
| 63523 | What year is it?" |
| 63523 | Who can tell us whether it is''legal''or not? |
| 63523 | Who would perform the ceremony?" |
| 63429 | And these_ Jokes_, creature,Harl spoke,"does anyone beside yourself possess them?" |
| 63429 | But what can we do? |
| 63429 | Do Martians ever err? |
| 63429 | Do you have a_ Joke_ with you now, creature? |
| 63429 | Where is your secret weapon, boy? |
| 63429 | Why do we cringe at the sight of this_ creature_, Harl? |
| 63429 | You mean, ferret out this genius and force him to divulge the plans of his invention? |
| 63429 | ''Who was that wife I seen you with last night? |
| 63429 | But-- shades of Major Mars!--what is that horrible monstrosity on the cover? |
| 63429 | Ca n''t your artists read? |
| 63429 | Could it be that we have made a mistake?" |
| 63429 | Creature, have you a treatise on_ Jokes_?" |
| 63429 | Do you not detect its thought vibrations?" |
| 63429 | Do you respect the wishes of the Councilor-- Dibble- Ibble, bless him-- or do you love your own precious fur in preference to honor and glory? |
| 63429 | Here goes: Why did the moron plant dynamite in the dairy? |
| 63429 | How can a decadent civilization, such as this one undoubtedly is, stand against such brilliant minds as ours?" |
| 63429 | How can we combat something of which we know absolutely nothing? |
| 63429 | How''s that? |
| 63429 | I-- I wonder what_ it_ looks like?" |
| 63429 | Joe fumbled for words and finally answered:"Weapon? |
| 63429 | Shall we begin the questioning?" |
| 63429 | Then, what? |
| 63429 | Wanta hear one? |
| 63429 | We translate:"Well, Kir- Um, what now? |
| 63429 | What could he have that the strangers would want? |
| 63429 | What does that jerk,_ The Amphibious Android_, mean by calling me a"mere child"? |
| 63429 | What is it? |
| 63429 | What weapon? |
| 63429 | Why, oh why, ca n''t we have at least one different cover painting? |
| 63429 | Words with horrible meaning assailed the ears of the population:''Why does n''t a chicken cross the road? |
| 63429 | Would you place your own personal valuation above the continuation of our species, Harl? |
| 40992 | Can you handle him? |
| 40992 | Do n''t you see it? 40992 Does-- does he not think-- think I am the Martian?..." |
| 40992 | Earth? 40992 Fainted? |
| 40992 | He does not care about you; he cares about your knowledge.... Do you see? |
| 40992 | How much water has this chap been drinking? |
| 40992 | If you live on Mars, what''re you doing here? |
| 40992 | Is Mars there? |
| 40992 | No ship? |
| 40992 | One of yours? |
| 40992 | So you are a Martian-- eh? |
| 40992 | Talk? |
| 40992 | That oughta go big in the show-- huh, Edgar? |
| 40992 | That''s a fine story,he grumbled,"but you left somethin''out.... What I wanta know is: how did you get_ here_?" |
| 40992 | This world? |
| 40992 | What is the trouble with him? 40992 What''ll we talk about?... |
| 40992 | What''s that? |
| 40992 | What? 40992 Why did they send you away to Earth?" |
| 40992 | You help me go to Mars? |
| 40992 | You help me?... |
| 40992 | You not have space travellers? |
| 40992 | You think I am man of Lo-- of Mars? |
| 40992 | A pale young man who had been sitting in a corner approached the desk, saying,"Yes?" |
| 40992 | And what did that amount to, after all, he asked himself.... What, but Death?... |
| 40992 | Blumberg grumbled:"What is this-- a joke?" |
| 40992 | Had all his efforts merely led to a lonely, purposeless death? |
| 40992 | How long would they keep him here, he wondered? |
| 40992 | I''m Blumberg, and I run this circus.... Who are you?" |
| 40992 | Nevertheless, he could not help worrying; and that night, when the pale young man brought him his food, he asked timidly:"Do they make the ship?..." |
| 40992 | She''ll be all right.... What''s this?" |
| 40992 | Think I was n''t comin''? |
| 40992 | This world is Earth?" |
| 40992 | What signifies life-- or death-- to a tiny being separated by fifty million miles from any of its kind? |
| 40992 | What''s the trouble? |
| 40992 | Why had he thought to find them here? |
| 40992 | Why struggle? |
| 40992 | Why would they not let him out? |
| 40992 | Would they let him die in this dark, dreary place? |
| 32054 | A highly intelligent race of beings would n''t encase their developing young in mud, would they? |
| 32054 | Hell- oh- g- g- Et- t- l- l.... Chee- s- s- ee- whad- d I- ee got- t? |
| 32054 | How did they treat you? |
| 32054 | What are your plans? 32054 What other reason can there be for their not jumping us? |
| 32054 | What''ll we do with the thing? |
| 32054 | Who cares about trifles? |
| 32054 | And how does unknown meet unknown? |
| 32054 | And if I was almost going for my pistol, how much worse was it for Craig, Klein and Miller, who had n''t been as friendly with Etl as I had been? |
| 32054 | And is it so hard to tack on the drives of curiosity, invention, and ambition, especially when you know that these beings made a spaceship? |
| 32054 | And was n''t our being surrounded by weapons here only the same thing, from another viewpoint? |
| 32054 | And who, with any sense does?" |
| 32054 | Could n''t the Martians still want a new planet to move to? |
| 32054 | Does that sound right to you? |
| 32054 | For did I feel a tremor in those tendrils, a tendency to recoil from me? |
| 32054 | Going to stay here now? |
| 32054 | How could Martians who hatched out of lumps of mud be like humans at all? |
| 32054 | How did all this stuff come into being? |
| 32054 | How did we ever think up that one? |
| 32054 | How was I supposed to know just what was best to feed the thing, so it would survive? |
| 32054 | How will it be at the first critical meeting of two kinds of things that will look like hallucinations to each other? |
| 32054 | If his kind are bent on being enemies, we''d better find it out as soon as possible, too, had n''t we? |
| 32054 | In the presence of the unfathomable, how could you replace the tried defenses of instinct with intellectual ideas of good will? |
| 32054 | Once Miller asked,"Is everybody okay?" |
| 32054 | Or will you come back with us?" |
| 32054 | Otherwise, why do you think I did n''t come to you before? |
| 32054 | So do you see our main objective, Nolan?" |
| 32054 | Still, how could we know that the Martians were n''t preparing the kind of invasion of Earth that has been imagined so often? |
| 32054 | Still-- just for insurance-- eh?" |
| 32054 | Suppose he''remembers''skills from his ancestors, and can build dangerous new devices, or make old ones work again? |
| 32054 | Suppose one has no hand to shake? |
| 32054 | They''d made a pioneering voyage across space, had n''t they? |
| 32054 | Want to join up with the rest of us?" |
| 32054 | Was he eager or frightened, or both? |
| 32054 | What did that mean? |
| 32054 | What if Martians were basically malevolent? |
| 32054 | What if we were complete fools? |
| 32054 | Who knows? |
| 32054 | Why did n''t we at least use our guns when we''d had the chance? |
| 32054 | You learn fast, do n''t you?" |
| 63432 | Any objection to our taking a round of observation? |
| 63432 | But how can we bargain, since we have no way to escape the planet? |
| 63432 | Can we trust the young squirt? |
| 63432 | Do you suppose they''ll talk to us? |
| 63432 | Got your transmitter on? |
| 63432 | How could things have changed so while we were away? 63432 How did you do it-- What''s happened-- Am I dreaming?" |
| 63432 | Is n''t much else to do, is there? |
| 63432 | John, do you remember what they said about''primitive contagion''? |
| 63432 | Meaning cannibalism? 63432 They must find some other way-- How could they do such a thing, when they have just shown us such kindness?" |
| 63432 | Want to come along? |
| 63432 | Well, what do you know about that? |
| 63432 | What about this story that the Central Medical Division is moving all these patients out on a space ship? |
| 63432 | What do you want? |
| 63432 | What is it, John? |
| 63432 | What kind of a machine was it? |
| 63432 | What''ll we write with? |
| 63432 | What''s he sayin''? |
| 63432 | What''s the press want this morning? |
| 63432 | What''s the sign for ham and eggs? |
| 63432 | What''s the use of getting cured on this desert? |
| 63432 | What''s them Martian beasts like? |
| 63432 | Where do we live? |
| 63432 | Where do you think they will be sent? 63432 Yes, we want to know about your woman companion''s arm, and about the others in the cave-- what has happened on earth--?" |
| 63432 | You mean, why did previous expeditions not find us? 63432 Young man, yourself,"he blurted,"how old do you think I am?" |
| 63432 | After a moment of silence, he said,"Do you suppose that will make a difference in their attitude toward us?" |
| 63432 | At last the young Martian turned and spoke to them, but mostly to Mary--"How much do you love your native planet? |
| 63432 | Come, now, why should you care about them? |
| 63432 | Do you suppose they''ll permit us to go out?" |
| 63432 | Had she escaped? |
| 63432 | How many of the half- hour disintegrator charges do you have?" |
| 63432 | John fumbled through his lexicon and found the word for"how?" |
| 63432 | She liked the way he took her arm, but she must always be casual...."Do you suppose it''s just another rumor?" |
| 63432 | The rumor was true-- He was on a ship of doom-- and Hilda-- where was she? |
| 63432 | They were silent for a little while before she continued,"Do you suppose we really are in the minority? |
| 63432 | Were they derelicts of time, idealists, or just out of work? |
| 63432 | What is the substance of your ship''s hull?" |
| 63432 | Why do n''t the authorities just put them to sleep with a lethal drug?" |
| 63432 | Why not just line us up and use the ray guns?" |
| 63432 | Why?" |
| 63432 | Would you be willing to stay with us-- all of you to be healed and made well, and serve to invigorate the stock of the Mars men?" |
| 61744 | Bribes? |
| 61744 | Did n''t Olduk say''ten miles''below the surface? 61744 Do you know what he died from?" |
| 61744 | How did you do it? |
| 61744 | It is not right that we live in a mythical Hades, see, honorable sirs? 61744 Shall Mars be Tantalus? |
| 61744 | What do we do now? |
| 61744 | What force? |
| 61744 | What signal will make the mechanism stop? |
| 61744 | What will? 61744 Why does he keep up with this farce?" |
| 61744 | Without reason? |
| 61744 | You did this? |
| 61744 | You mean we should give them our word, and then back out on it? |
| 61744 | You wished to see me? |
| 61744 | You wished to speak before the assembly? |
| 61744 | But you must not touch it, see? |
| 61744 | Do you want to hold that sphere of water in your hands forever?" |
| 61744 | Earth no good for us, see? |
| 61744 | He said,"Have you ever studied Martian psychology?" |
| 61744 | If things strange happen to water, do not touch, please?" |
| 61744 | Interesting, see? |
| 61744 | Laughing I will not like, please?" |
| 61744 | Not canned like sardines on Earth, yes? |
| 61744 | Of course, it''s only a theory, and nobody believes it, but why could n''t we try it out?" |
| 61744 | Olduk is sorry, see?" |
| 61744 | Olduk said, clearly and distinctly,"I am sorry you are not able to drink, see?..." |
| 61744 | Or shall Earth be Tantalus?" |
| 61744 | See? |
| 61744 | Tantalus, yes? |
| 61744 | The Spanish Governor said hoarsely,"We could n''t give in, could we?" |
| 61744 | The first officer said to himself,"In these seas?" |
| 61744 | The pool of water had become-- a hemisphere of glass? |
| 61744 | The rostrum may I use?" |
| 61744 | Therefore, all read story of Tantalus-- interesting, see? |
| 61744 | We are million in number-- ideal, yes? |
| 61744 | What do you want of Earth, explicitly?" |
| 61744 | What will I do?" |
| 61744 | Where was the flat surface that should receive him? |
| 61744 | Where were the little wavelets that usually betokened the presence of water? |
| 61744 | Who knows how long the Earthmen will hold out?" |
| 61744 | Why did the entire pool bulge up in the middle, and drop at the sides? |
| 61744 | Why was it that the whole pool had been replaced by an immense_ hemisphere of glass_? |
| 61744 | Why? |
| 61744 | Will you believe Olduk? |
| 61744 | You have your tickets? |
| 62357 | But the Martians? |
| 62357 | But what happened? |
| 62357 | Damn you,he screamed,"do n''t you even care?" |
| 62357 | Do you realize what''s happening? |
| 62357 | How could flowers build cities? |
| 62357 | Space? |
| 62357 | That will be something, wo n''t it, Scott? 62357 The Martians?" |
| 62357 | Think you can hold them off, kid? 62357 We''re going to the Moon?" |
| 62357 | What are those? |
| 62357 | What are you doing here? |
| 62357 | What do you mean, bugs? |
| 62357 | What finally happened to him? |
| 62357 | Where are the Martians? |
| 62357 | Where are we, Scott? |
| 62357 | Why did n''t you come back? 62357 Why not?" |
| 62357 | Would n''t the Martians help you? |
| 62357 | Yes,Hugh agreed,"but how?" |
| 62357 | You have lost faith? 62357 You''re sure of the routine?" |
| 62357 | And above and beyond all... what and where were the Martians? |
| 62357 | And why did they continue sending messages and rockets to the Earth? |
| 62357 | And why had each Martian rocket carried the same load each time? |
| 62357 | And why, now that Harry Decker and Jimmy Baldwin were dead, did n''t the Martians wipe out the remaining two of the unwanted race? |
| 62357 | At some point far away? |
| 62357 | But busy at what? |
| 62357 | But if that had been the case, why had the Martians answered the radio calls from Earth? |
| 62357 | Could there be some significance in those Martian lily seeds? |
| 62357 | How could plants build intelligence? |
| 62357 | How long would the lilies wait? |
| 62357 | How would they attack? |
| 62357 | If the lilies are the Martians and they sent seeds to Earth twelve years ago, why had n''t they sent them before?" |
| 62357 | In caverns beneath the surface? |
| 62357 | In that huge building? |
| 62357 | Invisible? |
| 62357 | Maybe they realized that the remaining two Earthmen constituted no menace? |
| 62357 | Maybe... perhaps... why? |
| 62357 | Or did they have, perhaps, even stronger weapons? |
| 62357 | Or would they develop more fully those powers of forcing animal minds to do their bidding? |
| 62357 | Some hidden meaning the Earth had failed to grasp? |
| 62357 | Some meaning that the things from Mars hoped would be read with each new rocket- load? |
| 62357 | Under such conditions what would be the limit of their alien powers? |
| 62357 | Was he crazy?" |
| 62357 | What happened to the ship?" |
| 62357 | What was it Hugh had said that first day? |
| 62357 | What was the use of keeping hope alive? |
| 62357 | What were they sending? |
| 62357 | Why could n''t the plants do the same thing with their seed... progress even a step further? |
| 62357 | Why could n''t the seed carry, along with its other attributes, all the intelligence and knowledge of the preceding generation? |
| 62357 | Why did n''t they sever diplomatic relationship entirely, retire into their isolation? |
| 62357 | Why did they resort to the expedient of forcing Earthmen to bring about their own destruction? |
| 62357 | Why had n''t the Martians come themselves? |
| 62357 | Why had they co- operated with Dr. Alexander in working out the code that made communication possible? |
| 62357 | Would they simply crowd out every other living thing, conquering by a sort of population pressure? |
| 62357 | You do n''t think you''ll go to Mars?" |
| 62357 | You know what they''re saying down in the base camp, do n''t you? |
| 62357 | You mean you do n''t know who the Martians are?" |
| 50877 | And how are you going to comprehend them? |
| 50877 | Ca n''t we get an_ eshbrug_? |
| 50877 | Do you not see the change I have made? |
| 50877 | Ethel, will you listen to that? |
| 50877 | How else can we go? |
| 50877 | If they were ever given a chance--"A chance? 50877 It is time that we go back?" |
| 50877 | Joyce, ca n''t you see it''s impossible? 50877 Loves him? |
| 50877 | Oh, do we have to? |
| 50877 | Only a--? |
| 50877 | Tell me, do you think that I look a little like your father and his friends? |
| 50877 | To travel three times as long? 50877 What do you know about it? |
| 50877 | What do you mean? 50877 What do you want to do-- be the wife of a janitor?" |
| 50877 | What friends? |
| 50877 | What is it, dear? |
| 50877 | What is it? |
| 50877 | What? 50877 Who,"Harley said finally,"are these people?" |
| 50877 | Why did you do that? 50877 Why do you not want me to?" |
| 50877 | You are afraid of what? |
| 50877 | You are cold? |
| 50877 | You''re not going, you hear? 50877 But how could she ever? 50877 But how could she say it? 50877 Could n''t everybody see it? 50877 Do n''t you see how it would be? 50877 Have you been talking to that fellow you told us about-- the one you met on your other trip? |
| 50877 | He has horns, does n''t he?" |
| 50877 | He''s a Martian, is n''t he? |
| 50877 | He''s a superior being--""Superior?" |
| 50877 | How could she discuss it at all? |
| 50877 | How could she tell him of the rot at the heart of so many of them? |
| 50877 | Is this why we''ve been running up these solarphone bills? |
| 50877 | Lord, who was this person she had married? |
| 50877 | Love that miserable scum?" |
| 50877 | My God, you''ve been communicating with him for a_ year_?" |
| 50877 | What do you want to go to that miserable, dried- up hole again for?" |
| 50877 | What does he have to be apologetic about? |
| 50877 | What would they do with it? |
| 50877 | What''ve you been doing-- talking to these people every week?" |
| 50877 | When would it learn what its narrow prejudices were costing? |
| 50877 | Where would you stay?" |
| 50877 | Why could n''t her father know it? |
| 50877 | With those miserable savages?" |
| 50877 | Would it have to wait till someone like Gregrill stepped forward and demonstrated all the richness it was missing? |
| 50877 | You hear? |
| 50877 | You want to get tangled up with him? |
| 63518 | And I''m glad, glad, do you hear? 63518 Are you leaving already?" |
| 63518 | But did n''t Dr. Theller-- no-- of course he wouldn''t--"How did you ever happen to crash_ here_? |
| 63518 | But how did they get you in the first place? |
| 63518 | Did n''t you know? |
| 63518 | Did you see it, Klalmar- lan? |
| 63518 | Do n''t I? |
| 63518 | Do you have a news broadcast on now? |
| 63518 | Do you suppose I have n''t thought of that? |
| 63518 | Dr. Theller, must he leave at once? |
| 63518 | Fellow citizens, you all know the desperate situation here in Los Angeles-- but do you know that you can save a life, perhaps a dozen? 63518 For how else do you suppose this tiny refuge has remained here, other than through my doing?" |
| 63518 | Has anyone a chrono? |
| 63518 | How about those disintegrators? |
| 63518 | How about you, Art? |
| 63518 | How can we possibly combat such a menace? |
| 63518 | How come? |
| 63518 | How did you do it? |
| 63518 | How do you happen to be here in such an out of the way spot? |
| 63518 | Oh, I almost forgot to ask you, Dr. Theller, have you examined the specimen here yet? |
| 63518 | On Mars? |
| 63518 | Say, Klalmar- lan, how in blazes did you get through that mob to follow us? |
| 63518 | So they could n''t quite kill you? |
| 63518 | This is your city, then, of which you spoke? |
| 63518 | Well, how about yourself? 63518 What do you say to blocking the tunnel? |
| 63518 | Where is the Martian? |
| 63518 | Where''s Paul''s body? |
| 63518 | Who--"Do n''t you see them? |
| 63518 | Why Mars? 63518 You are having a little trouble with my ship?" |
| 63518 | You fool, did you not know that we are immortal? 63518 You intend to bring the Martian fleet here-- that is, if you can contact them?" |
| 63518 | And what happened to Denny? |
| 63518 | But we''re not going to let that happen, are we? |
| 63518 | Ca n''t we get out of Interplanetary, travel, open up new worlds, just anything like that?" |
| 63518 | Did you ever hear of the battle of Dunkirk in World War II? |
| 63518 | Do n''t you think it is strange that Dr. Theller should n''t let you know when I have been lost for two days? |
| 63518 | Has Dr. Theller appealed to them?" |
| 63518 | Have you forgotten that I''m a full commander, with the right to marry any couple aboard a ship in space?" |
| 63518 | He screamed,"_ What did you do with that guard?_"A great three- toed claw, or hand, shot out, stopped an inch from Elene''s terror- stricken face. |
| 63518 | Now I''m going to ask you to repeat that performance--""Detroit?" |
| 63518 | Or had he? |
| 63518 | Remember that night, Elene?" |
| 63518 | See?" |
| 63518 | Still, what good was that precious brain doing anyone at Interplanetary? |
| 63518 | Tell me-- is it really as terrible as it looks over the televisor?" |
| 63518 | Think ye that would kill us?" |
| 63518 | Think ye that you can fight a million mighty ships with such a harmless weapon? |
| 63518 | Was he losing his manhood? |
| 63518 | We''ll get Paul''s body, and--""But Art, do n''t you see what this means? |
| 63518 | What do you suppose is the connection?" |
| 50826 | And what would you have me do about it? |
| 50826 | And where did you learn that? |
| 50826 | But not for the murder of a Martian, eh? 50826 Except that Martians are supposed to be tone- deaf, are n''t they? |
| 50826 | He cut out what? |
| 50826 | How much bad luck can you have in one lifetime, anyway? |
| 50826 | I beg your pardon? |
| 50826 | I have? |
| 50826 | So? |
| 50826 | Support her? |
| 50826 | The_ what_? |
| 50826 | There_ has_ to be, does n''t there? |
| 50826 | This one is_ wanted_? |
| 50826 | Wanted, is n''t he? |
| 50826 | Well? 50826 What about him?" |
| 50826 | What did you do? |
| 50826 | What man? |
| 50826 | What''s that you''re whistling? |
| 50826 | Where is he? |
| 50826 | Where''s his father? |
| 50826 | Where''s the boy? 50826 Why did you pull out of that shack? |
| 50826 | Why should I care about an Earthman? 50826 Why?" |
| 50826 | Why? |
| 50826 | Would it make any difference? |
| 50826 | Would n''t you say, mate? 50826 Would you like to go home to Earth? |
| 50826 | Yes, I''m Security, but does it have to mean something? |
| 50826 | You''re Mobile Security, are n''t you? 50826 _ What?_"He nearly leaped out of his chair. |
| 50826 | *****"Pulled a howler in there, eh, mate?" |
| 50826 | Ai n''t that pretty? |
| 50826 | Ai n''t that something to make you throw back your head and be proud about? |
| 50826 | And I knew then the reason for old Wahanhk''s bitterness when he had said to me,"But not for the murder of a Martian, eh? |
| 50826 | And he''s dead, see? |
| 50826 | And then he stopped chuckling and frowned instead and said complainingly:"Regular little spitfire, ai n''t she? |
| 50826 | And what did I do now?" |
| 50826 | Are you all right? |
| 50826 | Bigamist and all that, you know? |
| 50826 | But a fair fight, see? |
| 50826 | But even without that, he had it coming anyway, would n''t you say? |
| 50826 | But she did, too:"_ Does there?_"I gawked at her and she stared back. |
| 50826 | But there was this Spider, see? |
| 50826 | But who in the name of God could have the heart to ruin a dream like that? |
| 50826 | Do you understand? |
| 50826 | His name was Tahily and he used to hang around the saloons and he talked a lot, see? |
| 50826 | How could she? |
| 50826 | I mean do you get along okay and everything, now that...?" |
| 50826 | I mean, what would you''ve done in my place? |
| 50826 | Is that it?" |
| 50826 | It makes me suffer--""So you cut out his tongue?" |
| 50826 | Mean to say, I could n''t support her when I was dead, could I?" |
| 50826 | Or did n''t you know?" |
| 50826 | Or is that badge you''re wearing just something to cover a hole in your shirt?" |
| 50826 | She had to have something to live for, did n''t she? |
| 50826 | She said one word only:"Well?" |
| 50826 | So his_ mother_ had taught him the William Tell Overture, had she? |
| 50826 | So that he could listen, pick up a little information here, a little there?" |
| 50826 | Was he part of the plan, too, and the net just the alibi that gave him a passport to wander where he chose? |
| 50826 | Well, ai n''t it? |
| 50826 | Well, just a thought, of course, but if you pull me in and if I get_ it_, what''ll become of her, do you suppose? |
| 50826 | What made you think it was?" |
| 50826 | What was that for? |
| 50826 | Will that be satisfactory?" |
| 50826 | You know, out in front of that shack? |
| 62218 | And how can they subsist in this barren country? |
| 62218 | Any sign of M''Tonak? |
| 62218 | At Frank''s mine, you mean? |
| 62218 | But how, man? 62218 But is n''t it incredible that in three years he has n''t found out or guessed what you are doing?" |
| 62218 | But what the devil are they? |
| 62218 | But,Jim exclaimed unbelievingly,"he brought you here, and you''re not even curious to know why?" |
| 62218 | But-- why a spacer here, so far beneath Mars''surface? |
| 62218 | Dim- Ing? |
| 62218 | Do n''t you sometimes long to be-- free again? |
| 62218 | Do you see now, Jim Landor, why it''s taken us close to three years? |
| 62218 | Floaters? |
| 62218 | Frank entered the car of his own volition? 62218 How long have I been here?" |
| 62218 | How long, do you think, before you finish it? |
| 62218 | Is Bhruulo''s longevity, then, such an unusual thing? 62218 Is that all, just something calling you?" |
| 62218 | Kaarji-- what do you mean? |
| 62218 | Kaarji? 62218 My name? |
| 62218 | Now I wonder,Conley murmured,"what he always finds so interesting up there in that wilderness?" |
| 62218 | Now what would Kaarji do with the emerald of M''Tonak if he did find it? 62218 Seeking M''Tonak?" |
| 62218 | So you came across the Cap, eh Landor? |
| 62218 | Then what were those two chewing on me for? |
| 62218 | Then you mean-- we''re stranded here? |
| 62218 | Vegetarians, eh? |
| 62218 | What about him? |
| 62218 | What about the Martian? |
| 62218 | What are they? |
| 62218 | What--_what in heaven''s name are you_? |
| 62218 | When did this begin? |
| 62218 | Where in blazes,muttered Conley,"is the welcoming committee? |
| 62218 | Who are you, and why were we brought here? 62218 You have n''t many Earthmen here now, have you?" |
| 62218 | And you met the funny little man, I suppose?" |
| 62218 | Are you seeking M''Tonak?" |
| 62218 | As to why you were brought here, did you not seek M''Tonak, as have innumerable men in ages past? |
| 62218 | But what was that purpose? |
| 62218 | But why? |
| 62218 | But why? |
| 62218 | D''you know, despite it being an other- dimensional entity, it had some very human qualities? |
| 62218 | Did you ever indulge in Martian_ tsith_ stems, Conley? |
| 62218 | Did you have anything to do with it?" |
| 62218 | Do you suppose you might discover its secret? |
| 62218 | Do you want to find your radite or do n''t you? |
| 62218 | Facetious? |
| 62218 | Had he failed? |
| 62218 | Had you not guessed before? |
| 62218 | He said, turning to Conley:"Why do you suppose they sent the car for us? |
| 62218 | How do you propose--""To get the spacer out of here?" |
| 62218 | I suppose that''s where Bhruulo caught you, in that secret room?" |
| 62218 | In an awful moment of panic Jim thought:"Did it read in my mind something about Kaarji-- does it know what Kaarji is doing?" |
| 62218 | Is he head man here?" |
| 62218 | Is he here now?" |
| 62218 | Man, do n''t you understand? |
| 62218 | Mind if I keep it a while?" |
| 62218 | Of what value would it be to_ any_ Martian, to the whole dying Martian race?" |
| 62218 | Other expeditions must have reached here in the same manner, else why were they never found by the men who came later?" |
| 62218 | Tell me, what is your honest opinion?" |
| 62218 | That mean anything to you?" |
| 62218 | That what you''re trying to tell me?" |
| 62218 | Want to go over there and look around?" |
| 62218 | We were brought here, but why? |
| 62218 | What about Spurlin? |
| 62218 | What about that Martian, the one you said accompanied Frank into the Cap? |
| 62218 | What about you?" |
| 62218 | What do we do, make the trek afoot?" |
| 62218 | What happened after that? |
| 62218 | When did_ you_ arrive?" |
| 62218 | Why have you come up here three times before? |
| 62218 | Why should it withdraw in its moment of triumph, just as it was learning what it wanted to know about Earth? |
| 62218 | Would that damned Martian never die? |
| 62218 | You remember that surface car that brought us all here at various times? |
| 62218 | You remember when I said that this time I should not return from the Polar wastes? |
| 62218 | You saw no one else, no other person?" |
| 62218 | You''re supposed to be searching for the lost city... now, what would ye be wanting with an emerald that big?" |
| 51650 | A what? |
| 51650 | Ai n''t you ever seen a ecdysiastic technician before? |
| 51650 | Badger? |
| 51650 | But where do I start? |
| 51650 | But-- I mean-- when do we start actually_ playing_? 51650 Con man? |
| 51650 | Have n''t you guessed? |
| 51650 | Have you not got some other business? |
| 51650 | Hm? |
| 51650 | How about postage stamps? |
| 51650 | Huh? 51650 Huh? |
| 51650 | Huh? 51650 I am your friend, see? |
| 51650 | Me? 51650 Me?" |
| 51650 | Must you spoil my dreams? |
| 51650 | No harm in trying, was there? |
| 51650 | On Mars, you mean? |
| 51650 | Remember Junie O''Brien? 51650 She do n''t have to know that, does she?" |
| 51650 | So? 51650 Uh, pardon me, but have you tried to, well, attract capital from Earth?" |
| 51650 | Well-- could I have a receipt? |
| 51650 | Whassa matter? |
| 51650 | What are you doing with my wife? |
| 51650 | What happened, Pete? |
| 51650 | What''ll you have? |
| 51650 | What''s a bushcat? 51650 What''s wrong with your own people? |
| 51650 | What? 51650 What?" |
| 51650 | What? |
| 51650 | Which speaking of, what say we get some girls? 51650 Who?" |
| 51650 | Why, why... what do you mean? |
| 51650 | Would a megabuck be a fair price? |
| 51650 | Yes? |
| 51650 | You sure the wires can carry that much voltage? |
| 51650 | You''re from Mars, are n''t you? |
| 51650 | You''re here on business, then? |
| 51650 | _ Huh?_ Well, why, but--"In this case, it helps to be at the far end of an interplanetary haul,said Matheny. |
| 51650 | ''What mysterious knowledge did the Old Martians possess? |
| 51650 | All friendly enough, but-- Oh, by the way, how do you like our Martian camera technology? |
| 51650 | And who set it up that way? |
| 51650 | Bingo? |
| 51650 | But I am wondering, if you control the thyle industry and sell all those relics at fancy prices, why do you call yourselves poor?" |
| 51650 | But how much are those boys going to spend on any girl, even a high- level type like you? |
| 51650 | But look, let''s bomb out of here, how about it? |
| 51650 | But they make thyle right on Mars, do n''t they?" |
| 51650 | But who''s interested? |
| 51650 | But you do n''t think we''d_ drink_ it, do you? |
| 51650 | Care for a thyle and vermouth?" |
| 51650 | Doran in the chair stubbed out his cigarette, very carefully, and asked,"How much do you want for that film?" |
| 51650 | Ever hear of the Third Moon? |
| 51650 | Exotic? |
| 51650 | Good Lord, ca n''t you even load a derrel set?" |
| 51650 | How about a drink? |
| 51650 | How much could you pay this fellow?" |
| 51650 | How?" |
| 51650 | I did what? |
| 51650 | I got this Martian for you, see?" |
| 51650 | I told you about my girl friend, did n''t I?" |
| 51650 | It will still cost you, Pete, but you can pad your expense account, ca n''t you? |
| 51650 | Let me alone for a while, will you?" |
| 51650 | Listen, I need you just for tonight, see? |
| 51650 | No? |
| 51650 | Okay? |
| 51650 | Please, sir, where can I contact the underworld?_ He wished gambling were legal on Earth. |
| 51650 | Say, how is Junie O''Brien?" |
| 51650 | See what I mean? |
| 51650 | Since when has all Mars had as much spending money as one big- time marijuana rancher? |
| 51650 | The aqueduct squeeze? |
| 51650 | The little golden- haired girl on Mars, a mathematical prodigy, but dying of an incurable disease? |
| 51650 | The whipsaw play? |
| 51650 | They would n''t be able to see the Teamsters Hour on Mars, would they?" |
| 51650 | We know our export trade has n''t a chance among all your corporations unless we get some-- a five- year contract...?" |
| 51650 | Well, what are you having to drink?" |
| 51650 | What am I going to do?" |
| 51650 | What happened to the cocked dice?" |
| 51650 | What is akvavit? |
| 51650 | What was the secret wisdom of the Ancient Aliens? |
| 51650 | Where could a man sit down? |
| 51650 | Where you at, Gus?" |
| 51650 | Why do n''t you send a few tourists to us?" |
| 51650 | Why, what girl could resist that?" |
| 51650 | You got your choice, do n''t you?" |
| 51650 | _ Damn it, just because they''re so much more sophisticated than I, do I have to talk like a leaky boiler?_ The helpful Earthman was not tall. |
| 51650 | _ Why did they tap me for this job?_ he asked himself in a surge of homesickness. |
| 52009 | About that drink? |
| 52009 | And you came here seeking the ninth solution from Les Ro for your people? |
| 52009 | Are you also enjoying trying to lie to me-- Jim? |
| 52009 | But why could n''t you get someone to help you? |
| 52009 | But why did n''t you tell me about this? |
| 52009 | Can you state the problem more exactly? |
| 52009 | Did Les Ro''s Messenger promise you that you would be cured of your leprosy? |
| 52009 | Do you have an extra gun? |
| 52009 | Do you have this problem too? 52009 Do you mean that you humans still face problems that you can not solve? |
| 52009 | Do you mean to tell me that you alone built this apparatus? |
| 52009 | Do you mind if I call you Jim? |
| 52009 | Do you really believe this of me? |
| 52009 | Do you think you could find such a thing here? |
| 52009 | Eh? |
| 52009 | Eh? |
| 52009 | Eh? |
| 52009 | Eh? |
| 52009 | Go away and let you die in peace? |
| 52009 | Has n''t it occurred to you that you are in danger of getting your pretty little throat slit if you talk out of turn here? |
| 52009 | How did you detect the radiation? |
| 52009 | How did you get here? |
| 52009 | How did you know me? |
| 52009 | How long do you have to wait after you''re on the listen? |
| 52009 | How will I know if I''m called? |
| 52009 | How-- how did you get here? |
| 52009 | If they think they''re going to keep me from seeing Les Ro just because I''m a woman--"Why do you want to see him? 52009 May my friends go with me?" |
| 52009 | No one else is here? |
| 52009 | On the_ listen_? |
| 52009 | Tell me what you seek here? |
| 52009 | That Les Ro and his Messenger were one and the same? 52009 Then you did get my space radio?" |
| 52009 | This? 52009 Wars?" |
| 52009 | What about me? 52009 What are they doing here?" |
| 52009 | What difference does that make? |
| 52009 | What do you think of this? |
| 52009 | What do you think? |
| 52009 | What list? |
| 52009 | What space radio, Jim? |
| 52009 | What''s going on there? |
| 52009 | What''s wrong? |
| 52009 | What? |
| 52009 | Where are we? |
| 52009 | Who knows? 52009 Who the devil is Les Ro?" |
| 52009 | Why should n''t I recognize Earth''s foremost bio- physicist and leading authority on cellular structure? 52009 Worthy?" |
| 52009 | You guessed? |
| 52009 | A deep voice asked, laughingly,"Well, Jim, since you''ve already met our lady authoress, how do you like her?" |
| 52009 | Am I on it?" |
| 52009 | Are you enjoying your vacation?" |
| 52009 | But do the Martians know them?" |
| 52009 | But do you mean all of these Martians are waiting to see him?" |
| 52009 | But, Jim--""Lend it to me, will you? |
| 52009 | Do n''t I talk him gooden?" |
| 52009 | Do you seek a new way to cure this disease called cancer?" |
| 52009 | Do you think that if I went in there--"she gestured toward the cavern,"that you could help me be a-- woman?" |
| 52009 | Does n''t that count for something?" |
| 52009 | Eh, Jennie?" |
| 52009 | Had the grapevine reported his coming here? |
| 52009 | He is ze greatest zinker, ze greatest doer, ze greatest--""Stinker?" |
| 52009 | How could this place be the way to Les Ro? |
| 52009 | How many others are here with you?" |
| 52009 | If you did n''t get my space radio, how does it happen that you''re here? |
| 52009 | In this place, if the rumors were true, how could there be a leper? |
| 52009 | Is n''t that right, Sam?" |
| 52009 | Or had Crick''s whisper about extra- sensory perception in operation had some basis in fact? |
| 52009 | Or had Les Ro, catching wind somehow of his visit, set these stupid creatures across his path? |
| 52009 | Or was it_ future_ ecstacy that he was imagining? |
| 52009 | Ronson?" |
| 52009 | There seems to be a law in this universe against anything remaining the same-- But why did you come here? |
| 52009 | Was the same true for him? |
| 52009 | What farce was being perpetrated here? |
| 52009 | What other purpose was there? |
| 52009 | What-- ah-- are you doing here, Jennie?" |
| 52009 | Where had he heard or seen this name before? |
| 52009 | Which of them could understand how an electron circles in its orbit? |
| 52009 | Which way do I go?" |
| 52009 | Who-- ah-- was sitting here with you before I came?" |
| 52009 | Why did n''t you tell us?" |
| 52009 | Why should she be angry? |
| 52009 | Why super- sonic sound? |
| 52009 | Why was he here? |
| 19141 | A fight? |
| 19141 | Ah, that''s their trick, is it? |
| 19141 | Ah,said Mr. Edison,"they have got an electric shield, have they? |
| 19141 | Are these diamonds? |
| 19141 | But what''s become of the regulars, then? |
| 19141 | But where is the gold? |
| 19141 | Can this indeed be Diana herself? |
| 19141 | Can you fellows of many tongues learn to talk with the girl in that time? |
| 19141 | Do n''t you see? |
| 19141 | Faix, have ye got one of thim men from Mars? |
| 19141 | Gentlemen, gentlemen,he cried,"is it that you do not understand? |
| 19141 | Gracious, did you ever see such a beast? |
| 19141 | Have you whipped them? |
| 19141 | How are we going to dig it and get it back to earth? |
| 19141 | How did she get on Mars? |
| 19141 | How is the building protected? |
| 19141 | How long a time do you require to put everything in readiness? |
| 19141 | How many are lost? |
| 19141 | How much will be needed? |
| 19141 | How so? |
| 19141 | How, then, did you escape? |
| 19141 | How? 19141 Is there any more danger?" |
| 19141 | Quick,said Mr. Edison,"where is it?" |
| 19141 | That looks bad for the Martians, does n''t it? |
| 19141 | Then there are more of your people in Mars? |
| 19141 | Then this is not a wrecked expedition, directed against the earth? |
| 19141 | Well, have you seen enough? |
| 19141 | Well, what have you done? |
| 19141 | What can that be? 19141 What do you mean by that?" |
| 19141 | What do you mean by that? |
| 19141 | What do you suppose those Martians were doing here? |
| 19141 | What in the world makes me so heavy? |
| 19141 | What is that upon it? |
| 19141 | What is that? |
| 19141 | What will they say,I exclaimed,"when I show them a photograph of that?" |
| 19141 | What''s that? 19141 What-- what?" |
| 19141 | Where is the earth? |
| 19141 | Where is the entrance? |
| 19141 | Where,he said, turning to Aina,"is the handle by turning which you saw the Martian close the gates?" |
| 19141 | Who? |
| 19141 | Why did you not report this before? |
| 19141 | Why not rendezvous at one of the moons? |
| 19141 | Why should we wait? 19141 Will Mr. Edison please step forward?" |
| 19141 | Will no one fire upon them? |
| 19141 | Would n''t hold out? |
| 19141 | Yes, evidently; but how does it come inside the orbit of Mars? |
| 19141 | Are We, Too, Destroyed? |
| 19141 | Are we dreaming, or where in heaven''s name are we?" |
| 19141 | But when was American enterprise unequal to a crisis? |
| 19141 | But where are the hellhounds themselves?" |
| 19141 | Can you throw straight enough to hit it?" |
| 19141 | Did you say,"he continued, turning to Aina,"that the movement of the gates was all controlled from a single point?" |
| 19141 | Does Aina Hold the Secret? |
| 19141 | Edison?" |
| 19141 | Has he not said that the Valley of Cashmere was the cradle of the human race already?" |
| 19141 | Has not my great countryman, Adelung, so declared? |
| 19141 | How Came She on Mars? |
| 19141 | How did it chance that, with the exception of the thin crust of the asteroid, nearly all its substance was composed of the precious metal? |
| 19141 | How did these masses of gold come together? |
| 19141 | How had these creatures got there? |
| 19141 | How shall I describe our feelings as we gazed at the scene spread beneath us? |
| 19141 | I said half aloud, but instantly afterward I was laughing at my fancy, for Mr. Edison had overheard me and exclaimed,"Where is she?" |
| 19141 | Is This the End? |
| 19141 | Let me see? |
| 19141 | Mr. Secretary,"he continued, turning to the Secretary of the Treasury,"how much can we stand?" |
| 19141 | Several of our men cried out to Mr. Edison in an extremity of terror:"Why do you not destroy them? |
| 19141 | Shall We Kill Him? |
| 19141 | Suppose all of our anticipations about Mars should prove to have been wrong, after all? |
| 19141 | The gigantic statue of their leader that they at the foot of their artificial mountains have set up-- gentlemen, what is that? |
| 19141 | The lights were suddenly put out in the great dome of balloons, for someone had whispered:"Suppose they should see that from Mars? |
| 19141 | The telegram read: What''s Happening on Mars? |
| 19141 | These mountains of rock that the Martians have erected, what are they? |
| 19141 | This Land of Sand and of a wonderful fertilizing river-- what can it be? |
| 19141 | Was he like a man? |
| 19141 | Was he trying to make love without our knowing it to the beautiful captive from Mars? |
| 19141 | Was the expedition to be wrecked and its fate to remain forever unknown to the planet from which it had set forth? |
| 19141 | Was this an outpost of the warlike Mars? |
| 19141 | Was this the fate that Providence had in store for us? |
| 19141 | Was this to end it all, then? |
| 19141 | We had suffered fearful losses, and yet what had we accomplished? |
| 19141 | Were the hopes of the earth thus to perish? |
| 19141 | What element is there whose density exceeds the mean density of the earth in about that proportion?" |
| 19141 | What else was there to fight about?" |
| 19141 | What hope would there be for us when we came to encounter the millions of Mars itself on their own ground and prepared for war? |
| 19141 | What would my grandfather have said to it? |
| 19141 | What''s that?" |
| 19141 | Whence Came the Treasure? |
| 19141 | Who could adequately describe the scene that followed? |
| 19141 | Who knows but the Martians have already embarked, and are now on their way to destroy us?" |
| 19141 | Why did they bring their warships when their intentions were peaceable, do you ask? |
| 19141 | Why should we run the risk of having our cities destroyed and our lands desolated a second time? |
| 19141 | With the canals?" |
| 19141 | Wo n''t we be rich?" |
| 19141 | Would they not guess what we were about, and redouble their preparations to finish us?" |
| 19141 | Would you like to watch it?" |
| 21670 | A fight? |
| 21670 | Ah, that''s their trick, is it? |
| 21670 | Ah,said Mr. Edison,"they have got an electric shield, have they? |
| 21670 | Are these diamonds? |
| 21670 | But what''s become of the regulars, then? |
| 21670 | But where is the gold? |
| 21670 | But will they not renew the attack? |
| 21670 | Can this indeed be Diana herself? |
| 21670 | Can you fellows of many tongues learn to talk with the girl in that time? |
| 21670 | Do n''t you see? |
| 21670 | Faix, have ye got one of thim men from Mars? |
| 21670 | Gracious, did you ever see such a beast? |
| 21670 | Have you whipped them? |
| 21670 | How are we going to dig it and get it back to earth? |
| 21670 | How did she get on Mars? |
| 21670 | How is the building protected? |
| 21670 | How long a time do you require to put everything in readiness? |
| 21670 | How many are lost? |
| 21670 | How much will be needed? |
| 21670 | How so? |
| 21670 | How, then, did you escape? |
| 21670 | How? 21670 I wonder what it is?" |
| 21670 | Is there any more danger? |
| 21670 | Quick,said Mr. Edison,"where is it?" |
| 21670 | That looks bad for the Martians, does n''t it? |
| 21670 | Then there are more of your people in Mars? |
| 21670 | Then this is not a wrecked expedition, directed against the earth? |
| 21670 | Well, have you seen enough? |
| 21670 | Well, what have you done? |
| 21670 | What can that be? 21670 What do you mean by that?" |
| 21670 | What do you mean by that? |
| 21670 | What do you suppose those Martians were doing here? |
| 21670 | What in the world makes me so heavy? |
| 21670 | What is that upon it? |
| 21670 | What is that? |
| 21670 | What will they say,I exclaimed,"when I show them a photograph of that?" |
| 21670 | What''s that? 21670 What- what?" |
| 21670 | Where is the earth? |
| 21670 | Where is the entrance? |
| 21670 | Where,he said, turning to Aina,"is the handle by turning which you saw the Martian close the gates?" |
| 21670 | Who? |
| 21670 | Why did you not report this before? |
| 21670 | Why not rendezvous at one of the moons? |
| 21670 | Why should we wait? 21670 Will Mr. Edison please step forward?" |
| 21670 | Will no one fire upon them? |
| 21670 | Would n''t hold out? |
| 21670 | Yes, evidently; but how does it come inside the orbit of Mars? |
| 21670 | Are we dreaming, or where in heaven''s name are we?" |
| 21670 | But when was American enterprise unequal to a crisis? |
| 21670 | But where are the hellhounds themselves?" |
| 21670 | Can you throw straight enough to hit it?" |
| 21670 | Chautaquan_ 18_, 541- 45( February 1894) What is the music of the spheres? |

| 21670 | Cosmopolitan_ 40_, 163- 70( December 1905) Is Mars inhabited? |
| 21670 | Did the author of this story simply make a lucky shot in the dark? |
| 21670 | Did you say,"he continued, turning to Aina,"that the movement of the gates was all controlled from a single point?" |
| 21670 | Edison?" |
| 21670 | Has he not said that the Valley of Cashmere was the cradle of the human race already?" |

| 21670 | Popular Astronomy_ 1_, 372- 73( April 1894) What is astronomy? |
| 21670 | Popular Science Monthly_ 24_, 180- 86( December 1883) Can we always count upon the sun? |
| 21670 | Scientific American_ 70_, 327( May 26, 1894) Are there planets among the stars? |
| 21670 | Several of our men cried out to Mr. Edison in an extremity of terror:"Why do you not destroy them? |

| 21670 | Whence came this interest in law and journalism? |
| 21670 | Who could adequately describe the scene that followed? |

| 21670 | Would they not guess what we were about, and redouble their preparations to finish us?" |
| 21670 | Would you like to watch it?" |
| 61759 | And suppose I refuse to be arrested? |
| 61759 | Are there any further questions? |
| 61759 | Are we in trouble? |
| 61759 | Are we pointing away from them enough? |
| 61759 | Are you a descendant of Leonard Bolton? |
| 61759 | Are you from Earth? |
| 61759 | Are you quite sure that this will work against the Ray? |
| 61759 | Are you satisfied? |
| 61759 | Aye, aye, sir,said Borion with a wink,"little pitchers have big ears, do n''t they?" |
| 61759 | Borion, how about friction? |
| 61759 | But why go to the surface at all? |
| 61759 | Ca n''t anything be done? |
| 61759 | Can you hear me? 61759 Could you tell from their conversation whether they knew that we were on Saturn?" |
| 61759 | Did you see anything that looked like a volcanic crater? |
| 61759 | Did you see that? 61759 Do they still remember Leonard Bolton on Earth?" |
| 61759 | Do you have to toss us around like that? |
| 61759 | Do you need to ask a question like that? |
| 61759 | Do you realize how far back Man has been trying to reach out to other planets? |
| 61759 | Dynamon, what could that mean? |
| 61759 | Have you a name or are you addressed only as Queen? |
| 61759 | How difficult is it to get at? |
| 61759 | How do you go about looking for it? |
| 61759 | How long do you think we have got? |
| 61759 | How soon do you think we''ll make the surface? |
| 61759 | How soon will we get out of the stratosphere? |
| 61759 | I suppose the first question,said Thamon, sitting down opposite the centurion,"is whether to institute suspended animation on board?" |
| 61759 | I think we''d better, do n''t you? |
| 61759 | In that case, Dynamon, have you decided how you are going to conduct affairs within the Carrier in the immediate future? |
| 61759 | In your opinion are there likely to be more of these horrible things around? |
| 61759 | Is that a command? |
| 61759 | Is the decision-- on Keltry, final? |
| 61759 | It looks quite human, does n''t it? |
| 61759 | It''s about time to go now, is n''t it? |
| 61759 | Mortoch? |
| 61759 | My goodness,she said with a slight glance,"is everybody on Earth as big and brown as you two?" |
| 61759 | Ready? |
| 61759 | Shall we go along and have a look at it too, then? |
| 61759 | Suppose we discuss that, in my quarters? |
| 61759 | Tell me,he asked,"Are we the first strangers you have seen? |
| 61759 | Thamon, are you quite sure? |
| 61759 | Thamon,he said, beckoning the scientist to him,"can you see any possibility of human habitation in this valley?" |
| 61759 | That sounded like''who are you''did n''t it? |
| 61759 | That''s not so good, is it? |
| 61759 | Then how and when did they come to Saturn? |
| 61759 | Then, one of us must be a heroic experimental guinea pig? |
| 61759 | These_ are_ humans, are n''t they, Dynamon? |
| 61759 | Well, perhaps you have noticed,he began,"that someone else on this expedition has a-- a claim-- er--""Who do you mean?" |
| 61759 | Were there any clues as to what happened to Leonard Bolton? |
| 61759 | Were we trying to knock down an asteroid? |
| 61759 | What about tridium? |
| 61759 | What are they? |
| 61759 | What are you doing? |
| 61759 | What did you find? |
| 61759 | What do you mean by that? |
| 61759 | What do you say, Thamon? |
| 61759 | What do you think, Thamon? |
| 61759 | What is our altitude from Earth? |
| 61759 | What sort of creature are they? |
| 61759 | What''s going to happen to us? |
| 61759 | What''s the matter? 61759 What''s to prevent them from changing their course and cutting over to intercept us? |
| 61759 | Where are you? 61759 Where did they come from?" |
| 61759 | Who are you? |
| 61759 | Who is that? |
| 61759 | Whoo- yoo? |
| 61759 | Whoo- yoo? |
| 61759 | Why not stay down here and keep away from the danger? |
| 61759 | Why not? |
| 61759 | Why were n''t you killed? |
| 61759 | Yes, but do n''t you see? |
| 61759 | Yes, is n''t that what you''re trying to tell me? 61759 You mean-- them?" |
| 61759 | Your business? |
| 61759 | And the name?" |
| 61759 | As in a dream, Dynamon saw the soldiers overpowering Mortoch and heard himself say,"What do you mean? |
| 61759 | Can we out- run them once we get out of the atmosphere?" |
| 61759 | Could the navigator elude the pursuing red Carriers? |
| 61759 | Did he actually build such a ship, and is that how you come to be here so many thousands of miles from Earth?" |
| 61759 | Did n''t I see you in the Regional Games two years ago?" |
| 61759 | Do n''t you realize that I''m the queen?" |
| 61759 | Do you accept the assignment?" |
| 61759 | Do you realize what this means, Dynamon? |
| 61759 | Dynamon said sharply into his transmitter,"since when have you had eleven men in your command?" |
| 61759 | Has something happened to your helmet?" |
| 61759 | How did you come?" |
| 61759 | How did you do it?" |
| 61759 | How do you suppose this pit was ever formed?" |
| 61759 | How is the gravitation pull?" |
| 61759 | How soon will we be landing, Borion?" |
| 61759 | Lucky devils to be able to sleep through this trip-- have you ever been so bored in your life?" |
| 61759 | Now, where do you suppose we are? |
| 61759 | Now, you say you came in some kind of a carrier?" |
| 61759 | Or is there something that looks like a star; way down there?" |
| 61759 | Or, should he change direction, skirting the enemy, and make a run for the Carrier? |
| 61759 | See, here and here?" |
| 61759 | Thamon, why on earth were n''t human beings content to stay at home? |
| 61759 | The one called Mortoch?" |
| 61759 | Then he said,"Thamon, where are you?" |
| 61759 | There came back a terse answer,"Test flight, and you?" |
| 61759 | What do you intend to do about it?" |
| 61759 | What was he going to do? |
| 61759 | What''s that up the valley?" |
| 61759 | What''s the news from Headquarters, Dynamon?" |
| 61759 | Where are you bound for?" |
| 61759 | Where is the tridium?" |
| 61759 | Why did the Earth''s people ever have to come in contact with them? |
| 61759 | Why did they have to go to such endless pains to construct these Cosmos Carriers? |
| 61759 | Will Mortoch be responsible for providing each individual with a hypodermic and return- to- life tablets?" |
| 61759 | Will you give me your permission to carry away some of these rocks back to Earth, so that our armies can defend themselves against our enemies?" |
| 61759 | Wonderful, those old names, are n''t they? |
| 61759 | You have n''t, by any chance, been visited by Martians, have you?" |
| 61759 | You ready for the take- off? |
| 61759 | he cried,"am I seeing things? |
| 61759 | said the girl called Keltry,"are you here on duty?" |
| 61759 | the Queen interrupted,"The tall, dark man? |
| 61759 | the stranger repeated,"an whey cum fum?" |
| 72 | ''Helium''? |
| 72 | ''Ptarth''? |
| 72 | Against such fearful odds? 72 And Komal is a man?" |
| 72 | And all this is due to your intellect, Jav? |
| 72 | And he feeds upon the men and women of your belief? |
| 72 | And how may I help you, my Prince? |
| 72 | And how might I know it, Carthoris? |
| 72 | And later here at your father''s court, what did you do, Thuvia of Ptarth, that might have warned me that you could not return my love? |
| 72 | And leave the Princess of Ptarth here alone? |
| 72 | And leave those brave fellows leaderless? |
| 72 | And the banths? |
| 72 | And those who marched out upon the hordes to- day? |
| 72 | And what did I do, Carthoris of Helium,she returned,"that might lead you to believe that I DID return it?" |
| 72 | And what do you here before the gate of Lothar? |
| 72 | And who are you? |
| 72 | And who within the halls of Lothar is there who might come in answer to your call? 72 But how about the wounded nearer the city? |
| 72 | But tell me, how does Tario live, and the other etherealists who maintain that food is unnecessary? |
| 72 | But the archers that are slain? |
| 72 | But why, then, your cringing manner of approaching the throne? |
| 72 | Can you navigate her? |
| 72 | Come nearer,he said, and, as she approached:"Whose creature are you? |
| 72 | Did he harm you, Thuvia? |
| 72 | Did he not come hither of his own free will? |
| 72 | Did you ever tell me as much? 72 Did you not hear him call the guards?" |
| 72 | Do the maids of Helium pay court to their men? |
| 72 | Had you really a former actual existence? |
| 72 | How came you here, and what befell the princess? |
| 72 | How do the Lotharians? |
| 72 | How do you do it? |
| 72 | If I may not kill thin air,he asked,"how, then, shall I fear that thin air may kill me?" |
| 72 | Indeed,cried Jav,"what more realistic than this bounteous feast? |
| 72 | Is it not entirely satisfying? |
| 72 | Is there any way out of this chamber to the avenues of the city? |
| 72 | Is there safe landing alongside? |
| 72 | Is this Komal, your god? |
| 72 | It is the strongest evidence we have of the non- existence of the etherealists; but who may know other than Komal? |
| 72 | Let us get under way now-- there is naught to keep you here? |
| 72 | Must we die without a struggle? |
| 72 | Now, red man, I have told you of myself-- what of you? |
| 72 | Promised to another? |
| 72 | See those fine, upstanding men swinging along the broad avenue? 72 See? |
| 72 | Then where is he? |
| 72 | They have returned through another gate, or perchance these be the troops that remained to defend the city? |
| 72 | They, too, were but creatures of suggestion? |
| 72 | They, too, were unreal? |
| 72 | WHAT HAS BECOME OF THEIR DEAD AND WOUNDED? |
| 72 | Well, Kar Komak? |
| 72 | Well? |
| 72 | What are these? |
| 72 | What are we to do now? |
| 72 | What caused you to doubt it? 72 What could your red warrior accomplish against my fearless legions?" |
| 72 | What do you make of it? |
| 72 | What if he did call the guards? 72 What is to be our fate?" |
| 72 | What mean you? |
| 72 | What means this treason? |
| 72 | What strange craft is that? |
| 72 | What, then, may they be? |
| 72 | When shall we return to Dusar? |
| 72 | Where are the people of the palace-- the jeddak''s retinue? |
| 72 | Where are they? |
| 72 | Where are we, Thuvia? |
| 72 | Where are we? |
| 72 | Where are your passes? |
| 72 | Where is he now? |
| 72 | Where is she? 72 Where is she?" |
| 72 | Which way went they? |
| 72 | Whither went Vas Kor? |
| 72 | Who are you,he asked,"who knows not the etiquette of the court of the last of jeddaks?" |
| 72 | Who are you? |
| 72 | Who are you? |
| 72 | Who be these, Jav? |
| 72 | Who is Komal? |
| 72 | Who is Tario? |
| 72 | Who is it,he cried,"that offers his life in the service of Kulan Tith? |
| 72 | Who more honourable than the second of the world''s most ancient race? 72 Who should know better than the Prince of Helium?" |
| 72 | Who, Jav? |
| 72 | Why can not you do what Tario and Jav did? 72 Why not Jav?" |
| 72 | Why not? |
| 72 | Would you see Lothar in all her glory? |
| 72 | You believe that I did this thing, Thuvia? |
| 72 | You love him, Thuvia of Ptarth? |
| 72 | You really do not know? |
| 72 | You saw the Torquasians fall before the bowmen? |
| 72 | You still prefer death? |
| 72 | You wish to return to Lothar? |
| 72 | You, then, do not hold Tario''s beliefs? |
| 72 | Your deity? |
| 72 | And did Thuvia of Ptarth now measure Astok of Dusar by the standards of Kulan Tith, Jeddak of Kaol? |
| 72 | And the guard-- what of them? |
| 72 | And what is the result? |
| 72 | And what of you, red man?" |
| 72 | And who was there that would doubt the justice of the charge? |
| 72 | And with whom would an affianced bride compare an unsuccessful suitor? |
| 72 | Are you ready?" |
| 72 | But had it done so? |
| 72 | But what assurance was there that the other was Carthoris of Helium? |
| 72 | But what city could it be? |
| 72 | But where were the rider and his prisoner? |
| 72 | But why not?" |
| 72 | But would these allies reach the theatre of war in time to be of avail to Helium? |
| 72 | But, after all, was it so foreign? |
| 72 | Can it be that they are right? |
| 72 | Can it be that we have stumbled upon a surviving city of the past which all Barsoom believes buried beneath the ages?" |
| 72 | Can it be that you are a panthan?" |
| 72 | Can you not guess, man? |
| 72 | Can you not see me, feel me?" |
| 72 | Come, my good fellow, and what may be the one contingency I have overlooked?" |
| 72 | Could he despatch them both before he was overpowered? |
| 72 | Could the creature of his genius have thus betrayed him? |
| 72 | Did she love Kulan Tith? |
| 72 | Do you follow me?" |
| 72 | Ever before have words of love for me fallen from your lips?" |
| 72 | From whence had they sprung? |
| 72 | HE must pay the penalty; and who better than Vas Kor could lead the Prince of Helium to Astok of Dusar? |
| 72 | Have they carried them within?" |
| 72 | Her tone was level, but was there not within it the hint of an infinite depth of sadness? |
| 72 | How had he come in place of the Dusarian? |
| 72 | How may that be?" |
| 72 | Into the hands of such, he realized, he had fallen; but-- what were their intentions toward him? |
| 72 | Jav''s? |
| 72 | Now think you that the daughter of one mighty jeddak and the son of another would so humiliate themselves?" |
| 72 | Of what avail, to sink spineless to the floor? |
| 72 | Or could it have been as one who awaited a welcome visitor? |
| 72 | Or should she continue her way north- east toward Ptarth? |
| 72 | Or was it to be both? |
| 72 | Or, would Helium need them? |
| 72 | Perhaps the banth was in hiding behind this? |
| 72 | See the men greet them with love and respect? |
| 72 | See the young girls and the women smile upon them? |
| 72 | Should she wait here in the hope that Carthoris would return in search of her? |
| 72 | Softly she asked:"Where are you going, Carthoris?" |
| 72 | Tell me, woman, from whose brain have you sprung? |
| 72 | The sight that met his eyes set his heart to thumping in joy and relief-- Thuvia of Ptarth might yet be saved? |
| 72 | Then:"What ship?" |
| 72 | Was it his lair? |
| 72 | Was she weeping? |
| 72 | What could it all mean? |
| 72 | What had happened? |
| 72 | What if the Heliumite should have already emerged and he should run upon him in the passageway? |
| 72 | What mad caprice could have induced him so to transgress the etiquette of nations? |
| 72 | What manner of people were these who could conjure an army out of thin air? |
| 72 | What means it?" |
| 72 | What must be the result? |
| 72 | What race may they be? |
| 72 | What unseen hand had plucked them from the bodies of the slain? |
| 72 | What was that? |
| 72 | What would Carthoris, Prince of Helium, do? |
| 72 | When would they come? |
| 72 | Where before had he seen that giant figure, that taciturn countenance, and the livid sword- cut from temple to mouth? |
| 72 | Where had he seen the man before? |
| 72 | Where had the slender messengers of death departed? |
| 72 | Where may these cities lie, of which you speak? |
| 72 | Where were the bowmen? |
| 72 | Where, first, would Carthoris have gone after leaving the valley of Lothar? |
| 72 | Which had he chosen for his prey? |
| 72 | Who but Carthoris could it have been? |
| 72 | Who could have done the thing-- and why? |
| 72 | Who has dared materialize his imaginings of woman? |
| 72 | Who may say? |
| 72 | Who would dare enter the presence of Tario, unsummoned?" |
| 72 | Why had they not loosed their shafts? |
| 72 | Why not finish her now and have it done with? |
| 72 | Why not indeed? |
| 72 | Why not permit them simply to dissolve into thin air until you again require their futile service?" |
| 72 | Why not sue once more? |
| 72 | Why should I bear it all?" |
| 72 | Why, then, should they be bringing her to such a place? |
| 72 | Why? |
| 72 | Will you stand by me?" |
| 72 | With her betrothed? |
| 72 | Within its dark and forbidding interior might there not lurk not one but many of the fearsome creatures? |
| 72 | Would Astok do the deed with his own hands? |
| 72 | Would he reach the door in time? |
| 72 | You believe me?" |
| 72 | Your Heliumite? |
| 72 | the princess returned the young man''s greeting,"and what less could one expect of the son of such a sire?" |
| 604 | ''Slaves,''no; how should I know it? |
| 604 | ;Is he a tribute- taker?" |
| 604 | ;Whence does he come? |
| 604 | And are n''t you afraid to leave her with us? |
| 604 | And do you know whose face that is? |
| 604 | And does my robe tell you nothing? |
| 604 | And if I go how am I to know your ancient king, as you say, amongst ten million others? |
| 604 | And now? |
| 604 | And then? |
| 604 | And what does it matter if he can? 604 And what if the owner should come along and find his boat gone?" |
| 604 | And what,I said, bending down,"would you give me if I succeeded?" |
| 604 | And what,said a female voice from inside,"what if I refused to serve another of these plaguy wanderers you are always foisting upon me?" |
| 604 | And who was Isis? 604 And why should I keep my word to a half- proved spirit such as you?" |
| 604 | And you are quite sure you like me much the best, and will not go after her again? |
| 604 | And your companion the lady-- is she too fond of fishing? |
| 604 | Any honorarium, then? 604 Are you rested, traveller?" |
| 604 | Armies or navies? |
| 604 | But firstly might they help me out of my clothes? 604 But have you a boat of your own hereabouts?" |
| 604 | But have you no patronymics-- nothing to show the child comes of the same source as his father came? |
| 604 | But how? |
| 604 | But supposing,I said,"chance dealt unkindly to you from your nuptial urn, supposing the man was not to your liking, or another coveted him?" |
| 604 | Do you know anything of her? |
| 604 | Do you truly, truly want me to? |
| 604 | Do you wish,he said,"merely to cleanse a dusty throat, or for blue or pink oblivion?" |
| 604 | Doing? 604 From what country had I come?" |
| 604 | Gold? |
| 604 | Good gracious, miss,I said, still rubbing my eyes and doubting my senses,"have you dropped from the skies? |
| 604 | Had they any kind of crafts or science; any cult of stars or figures? |
| 604 | Here, old dried haddock, will you take us if we help haul your nets for you? |
| 604 | How did you know I was from Seth? |
| 604 | How should I know? |
| 604 | I came only as a bystander, lady, but the fascination of the opportunity is deadly--"And have you any preference? |
| 604 | I thought you were, for none but spirits live here upon this island; are you for good or evil? |
| 604 | In what way can I be of service to you?'''' 604 Is it not enough?" |
| 604 | Is that how you looked in another world? |
| 604 | Is that what they take for tribute? |
| 604 | Is this your rug, captain? |
| 604 | May I ask what you are doing on the quay at such an hour as this? |
| 604 | Must be; why? |
| 604 | Nay, good friend,was my answer,"what can that matter to you?" |
| 604 | Newest and dearest of friends, put by this dreary learning and look in my eyes; is there nothing to be spelt out there? |
| 604 | No, nor mothers either, or at least none that we remember, for again, why should we? 604 Oh,"I thought sleepily to myself,"so these are the ape- men of the western woods, are they? |
| 604 | Saints alive, man, do you think I would have you tumbling in here over each other''s heels if she were? |
| 604 | Says this quaint dabbler in all knowledge anything of Isis, anything of Phra, of Ammon, of Ammon Top? |
| 604 | Then what are you going to do? |
| 604 | Then will you marry me on Monday? |
| 604 | Then you will say as little as you can about her? |
| 604 | Unavoidably postponed? |
| 604 | Was I the traveller who had come from Seth? |
| 604 | Well, then,I answered sulkily,"what is it to be this time?" |
| 604 | What does it say, sweet girl? |
| 604 | What if I said it was Heru, the princess? |
| 604 | What is all that talking about? |
| 604 | What is it? |
| 604 | What is it? |
| 604 | What matter a few stripes more or less? |
| 604 | What should I do? |
| 604 | What was she like? |
| 604 | What would you do? |
| 604 | When will she stop? |
| 604 | Where shall I begin? 604 Where,"said the girl,"could he safer be? |
| 604 | Who brought her message? |
| 604 | Who is it,I asked, with more interest in my tone,"who gets married?--is it your ambiguous king himself?" |
| 604 | Who made the first handle for the first flint, you of the many questions? 604 Why wait? |
| 604 | Why will you make me read it? 604 Why, what should he do but take the next along the bank, and the master of that the next again-- how else could it be?" |
| 604 | Why,I said, with a start,"surely THIS might be the golden pool and these the silver fish-- but the hair- fine line?" |
| 604 | Why? |
| 604 | Would I eat with them? |
| 604 | Would you have had it otherwise with us? |
| 604 | Would you like to see where they are grown? |
| 604 | You do n''t suppose I go about at this time of night with Turkey carpets under my arm, do you? 604 You to fetch her back, and from Ar- hap''s arms? |
| 604 | And after a minute from the hollows of the empty hearths around came the sad little responsive echo:"Are you living or dead?" |
| 604 | And after all I had done for her? |
| 604 | And if it were, what strange chance had brought me here-- a stranger, yet the first to come, since her sorrow, from her distant kindred? |
| 604 | And those hairy ruffians of whom a horrible vision danced before my waking eyes, were they fancy too? |
| 604 | And was Heru going to marry black Hath in such a hurry? |
| 604 | And yet was I not mad to try to rescue, or even to follow her alone? |
| 604 | Are we to delay every time that lazy ruffian spying a shadow makes it an excuse to stop to yawn and scratch? |
| 604 | Are you a girl, after all?" |
| 604 | But all alone what could I do? |
| 604 | But if the woman is got first and sued subsequently, who brings you together? |
| 604 | But man or woman you must be-- come, which is it?" |
| 604 | But was I to lose my only chance of shore? |
| 604 | But what were hunger or fatigue to the satisfaction of that moment? |
| 604 | But what would you? |
| 604 | Come, friend Purple- jerkin, will you take the council with your legs and run while there is yet time, or stand up to be thrown at?" |
| 604 | Come, who is it that frightens all the blood out of your cheeks by a bare mention and may not be laughed at even behind these substantial walls?" |
| 604 | Could n''t I drop in there to lunch? |
| 604 | Could this be Queen Yang, of whom the woodcutter had told me? |
| 604 | Did they miss me? |
| 604 | Do you never wash in your country?" |
| 604 | Do you think that if I could travel by volition I would slip down these infernal cliffs on my pants''seat as I have just done? |
| 604 | Does he come from the earth?" |
| 604 | Does he come to your feasts today?" |
| 604 | Going for a sail?" |
| 604 | Gulliver Jones CHAPTER I Dare I say it? |
| 604 | Had I killed him? |
| 604 | Have you a great army at hand?" |
| 604 | Have you any idea who the lady is?" |
| 604 | How came you here? |
| 604 | How can I describe what followed those luckless words? |
| 604 | How could I? |
| 604 | How could one lament amongst all this irritating cheerfulness? |
| 604 | How did I propose to take the princess from her captors? |
| 604 | How did she look? |
| 604 | How do I know you are a ghost, after all? |
| 604 | How do I know you have anything but a rusty sword and much impertinence to back your astounding claim?" |
| 604 | How had they treated her?" |
| 604 | How soon can you be prepared?" |
| 604 | How stands the quarrel between you? |
| 604 | How strong? |
| 604 | However, who can gainsay that same youth? |
| 604 | Hullo, messmate, where are we bound to?" |
| 604 | I answered,"so those ancient follies have come as far as this, have they? |
| 604 | I doubt even whether you will believe it; but what am I to do in that case? |
| 604 | I exclaimed,"more magic? |
| 604 | I forgot to ask the man who sewed them on for me what they were exactly, but it looks like gold, does n''t it?" |
| 604 | I heard men whisper one to another,"Who is he? |
| 604 | I hesitated a minute and then asked,"Was it WILL which turned that shaft?" |
| 604 | I trust I was a docile pupil?" |
| 604 | If I were a spirit, do you think I would slide about on my coat- tails like that? |
| 604 | In fact, it was obvious that simple person did actually take me for a being of another world, and was it for me to say she was wrong? |
| 604 | Is Hath here in the city? |
| 604 | Is it the same in your distant country?" |
| 604 | Is the message too bulky for your slender shoulders?" |
| 604 | Is there a chance of myself being heard at the throne? |
| 604 | Is there no learning near at hand that would be pleasanter reading than this silly book of yours? |
| 604 | It must be-- who else? |
| 604 | It was dusk, a lovely soft velvet dusk, but not dark yet, and I said to a yellow- robed fairy at my side:"Whither away, comrade? |
| 604 | It was the draught caused by the opening door, of course, that had made the dead man''s rug lift so strangely-- what else could it have been? |
| 604 | Lastly, but not least, where was I? |
| 604 | Life beat in my pulses; what had I to fear? |
| 604 | May I, please, nibble a little piece?" |
| 604 | Need I tell in detail what followed? |
| 604 | Not a friend of yours, I suppose?" |
| 604 | Oh, dweller in primordial ice, say from which niche of the cliffs has the breath of chance thawed you?" |
| 604 | Ought I not to stay and see it out to the bitter end? |
| 604 | Ought I not to take it to her rather than leave it as spoil to the first idle thief with pluck enough to deride the mysteries of the haunted city? |
| 604 | Perhaps after all they did not know of our nearness? |
| 604 | Polly, will you marry me tomorrow?" |
| 604 | Presently she asked,"Did that deed of mine, the hair in the urn, offend you, stranger?" |
| 604 | Shall I pay you anything?" |
| 604 | She answered with simplicity,"Why, of course-- what else?" |
| 604 | She stared at me a space, then said,"What have wooings long or short to do with weddings? |
| 604 | Spirit?" |
| 604 | Surely sometimes some of you win back to womanhood? |
| 604 | Surely there was nothing spiritual in that knock?'''' |
| 604 | Surely we are not going to be put to bed so early as this?" |
| 604 | Surely you of the primrose robes can sometimes love?" |
| 604 | Surely,"I said, turning to a knot of Martian youths who stood listening a few steps away,"surely some of you will come with me at this pinch? |
| 604 | Tell me something about your people, and let us begin properly at the top: have you got a king, for instance?" |
| 604 | Then they stopped suddenly and some one asked,"Is there not something like a boat away on the right?" |
| 604 | Then, with a little sigh of satisfaction, she ran an arm through mine, saying,"Comrade, from what country have you come? |
| 604 | There now, on your soul tell me truly which this planet is, the one here at our feet?" |
| 604 | Thereat An, yawning gently, looked to me and said,"A strong- willed fellow, is n''t he, friend?" |
| 604 | They peeped and peered all about the room, then one said,"Is Princess Heru with you, sir?" |
| 604 | Was Heru real or only a lovely fancy? |
| 604 | Was I a coward to leave Heru so? |
| 604 | Was I dreaming-- was I mad? |
| 604 | Was I dreaming? |
| 604 | Was I in my senses? |
| 604 | Was I mad, or dreaming? |
| 604 | Was I, too, destined to become like these? |
| 604 | Was ambition and hope to desert me, and idleness itself become laborious, while life ran to seed in gilded uselessness? |
| 604 | Was ever such a question put to a sane mortal before? |
| 604 | Was it a real feast we had shared in overnight, or only a quaint dream? |
| 604 | Was it possible? |
| 604 | Was it so?" |
| 604 | Was she hurt? |
| 604 | Was that a dream, or this? |
| 604 | Was the red stuff in my veins to be watered down to pallid Martian sap? |
| 604 | Was the royal savage in front playing with me? |
| 604 | Was this a dream? |
| 604 | Were my eyes dazed, my senses reeling? |
| 604 | Were there any means of identification on him?" |
| 604 | What can I do for your majesty?" |
| 604 | What chance, however remote, was there of successfully wresting that blooming prize from the arms of her captor? |
| 604 | What could I do but give her a hand as well? |
| 604 | What could I do? |
| 604 | What could she mean? |
| 604 | What did you die of?" |
| 604 | What do you think of the attire, ma''am?" |
| 604 | What else could I do? |
| 604 | What else is the good of a coherent society and a Government if it can not provide you with so rudimentary a thing as a meal?" |
| 604 | What had I to hope for? |
| 604 | What had they done with her? |
| 604 | What is he like? |
| 604 | What man could need more? |
| 604 | What man with the soul of a thousand unborn fighters in him notched and sharpened your natural rock?" |
| 604 | What purpose did it serve to lay gasping like this, dying cruelly without a hope of rescue, when a shorter way was at my side? |
| 604 | What says the next heading?" |
| 604 | What says the writer of his intention? |
| 604 | What sets he out to prove?" |
| 604 | What was I to do? |
| 604 | What was I to do? |
| 604 | What was to prevent these new friends giving us away? |
| 604 | What were my gay Martians doing? |
| 604 | What were they doing? |
| 604 | What would she think if she knew where I was? |
| 604 | What would she think of my absence? |
| 604 | What would you do if it were so?" |
| 604 | Where can I find him?" |
| 604 | Where had I seen such a place before? |
| 604 | Where had we come to? |
| 604 | Where in all the vicissitudes of a chequered career had I seen such a one before? |
| 604 | Where indeed had I come from? |
| 604 | Where my steak and tomato supper? |
| 604 | Where pink- shouldered An? |
| 604 | Where those wild men who had taken the princess from us? |
| 604 | Where was Heru? |
| 604 | Where was I? |
| 604 | Where was I? |
| 604 | Where was poor Heru, that sweet maiden wife? |
| 604 | Where was poor Heru? |
| 604 | Where was she? |
| 604 | Where was the magic rug itself? |
| 604 | Who am I, a poor quarter- deck loafer, that I should attempt to describe what poet and painter alike would have failed to realise? |
| 604 | Who first edged and pointed the primitive malice? |
| 604 | Who had eaten it? |
| 604 | Who sees to the essential preliminaries of assortment?" |
| 604 | Who was drawing my pay? |
| 604 | Why do you wait?" |
| 604 | Why not rise and raid them in turn? |
| 604 | Will that get me a meal?" |
| 604 | Womanlike, she had forgotten all about her first question, and now asked another,"Will you come to supper with me, stranger? |
| 604 | Would he run at the last moment? |
| 604 | Yet were they vacant? |
| 604 | Yet what did it avail me? |
| 604 | Yet why should I be sad, I said to myself presently? |
| 604 | You, too, are to be we d.""I had not heard of it, damsel; a paternal forethought of your Government, I suppose? |
| 604 | and again the Martian shrugged her shoulders, questioning in turn--"What for?" |
| 604 | free is it-- free like the breakfast served out this morning?" |
| 604 | no fathers?" |
| 604 | sits the wind in THAT quarter? |
| 604 | what would they all think of me? |
| 604 | who Ammon Top?" |
| 604 | you look a proper fellow, and something of a heart should beat under such gay wrappings, will you come with me?" |
| 27400 | ''If I-- if I ask you if you-- if you-- think Miss Gibson the most beautiful girl you ever saw?'' 27400 ''If you_ what_, Miss Royce?'' |
| 27400 | ''Il est dix heures, savez- vous? 27400 ''Oh, have I? |
| 27400 | ''Why did you refuse? 27400 ''You ask me why I look so pale?''" |
| 27400 | A disembodied conscience? |
| 27400 | A painter? 27400 Ah, I suppose he helps you with your Euclid also?" |
| 27400 | And Barty? |
| 27400 | And Leah? |
| 27400 | And how''s the north pole this morning? |
| 27400 | And is he very sincere? |
| 27400 | And the pretty girl in blue with the fair hair? |
| 27400 | And what do you think? 27400 Are you dumb, Josselin? |
| 27400 | Arma virumque cano--"Tityre tu patulæ?" |
| 27400 | As- tu vu? 27400 Bonzig? |
| 27400 | Brave cavalier, off to the war, What will you do So far from here? 27400 But what_ do_ you feel when you feel the north, Barty-- a kind of tingling?" |
| 27400 | C''est le ciel, tout bonnement-- et tu vas m''apprendre l''allemand, n''est- ce- pas, m''amour? |
| 27400 | Caillard, avez- vous chanté? |
| 27400 | Comme c''est bête, de s''battre, hein? |
| 27400 | Do you remember father Jaurion''s old angora cat? |
| 27400 | Do you remember that knock at the door? 27400 Do you remember? |
| 27400 | English, of course? |
| 27400 | Est- ce_ toi_? |
| 27400 | Est- ce_ toi_? |
| 27400 | Et toi, Maurice? |
| 27400 | Et vous ne cantez pas du tout-- du tout? |
| 27400 | He''s not a bit romantic,_ is_ he? |
| 27400 | How about that toss? |
| 27400 | I bet you do n''t know why they all stare so, Uncle Bob? |
| 27400 | I wonder why he let off Josselin and Maurice so easily? |
| 27400 | Il est dix heures, savez- vous? |
| 27400 | It''s all over? |
| 27400 | It''s heaven, pure and simple-- and you are going to teach me German, are n''t you, my dear? |
| 27400 | Josselin, avez- vous chanté? |
| 27400 | Josselin? |
| 27400 | Lipmann, avez- vous chanté? |
| 27400 | Listen,said the signore;"why not arrange to live together, you and we? |
| 27400 | Maurice, avez- vous chanté? |
| 27400 | Moi aussi, je fumais quand c''était défendu; que voulez- vous? 27400 Moi, m''sieur?" |
| 27400 | Moi, m''sieur? |
| 27400 | Moi, m''sieur? |
| 27400 | Moi, m''sieur? |
| 27400 | Moi, m''sieur? |
| 27400 | Not of the Grenadier Guards? |
| 27400 | Not one of the Berkshire Bletchleys, eh? |
| 27400 | O celestial hate, How canst thou be appeased? 27400 Oui, toi!--comment dirais- tu,''_ je pourrais vouloir_''?" |
| 27400 | P. S.--You remember pretty little Kitty Hardwicke you used to flirt with, who married young St. Clair, who''s now Lord Kidderminster? 27400 Palaiseau,"said Monsieur Bonzig,"si vous vous serviez de votre mouchoir-- hein? |
| 27400 | Pourquoi, alors? |
| 27400 | Qu''est- ce que vous avez donc, tous? |
| 27400 | Qu''est- ce que vous regardez? |
| 27400 | Que me voilà donc bien contente, mon petit Barty-- et toi? 27400 Quoi, quoi, quoi?" |
| 27400 | Qué''q''çà veut dire? |
| 27400 | Rapaud, comment dit- on''_ pouvoir_''en anglais? |
| 27400 | Talking of beauties, whom do you think I met yesterday in the Park? 27400 Te rappelles- tu cette omelette?" |
| 27400 | Te rappelles- tu l''habit neuf de Berquin, et son chapeau haute- forme? |
| 27400 | Te souviens- tu de la vieille chatte angora du père Jaurion? |
| 27400 | Thanks-- anything else? |
| 27400 | Then why are you called Josselin? |
| 27400 | Voulez- vous bien vous en aller bien vite? |
| 27400 | Vous allez à Blankenberghe, mossié? |
| 27400 | Was n''t he called Lord Runswick? |
| 27400 | Well, you had a fair field and no favor, old boy, did n''t you? |
| 27400 | Well-- what do you think of Leah Gibson? |
| 27400 | What book have you got there, Josselin-- Cæsar or Cornelius Nepos? |
| 27400 | What have you got in your mouth, Josselin-- chocolate?--barley- sugar?--caoutchouc?--or an India- rubber ball? |
| 27400 | What on earth_ can_ be the matter? |
| 27400 | What''s that,_ circenses_? 27400 Who am I, indeed? |

| 27400 | Who helps you in your Latin, my boy? |
| 27400 | Who is she? 27400 Why can I not go where the roses go, And not await The heartbreaking regrets which the end of things Keeps for us here?" |
| 27400 | Why not? |
| 27400 | Why, you do n''t mean to say_ you''re_ an Englishman? |
| 27400 | Will you give up all this for a pair of bright black eyes and a pretty white skin? 27400 Will you take yourself off at once?" |
| 27400 | Your father''s French, I suppose? |
| 27400 | _ Comme c''est bête, de s''battre, hein?_--"How stupid it is to fight, eh?" |
| 27400 | _ Esker voo her jer dwaw lah vee? 27400 _ Est- ce toi?_"--"Is it thou?" |

| 27400 | _ Il est dix heures... dans votre chambre?_--"It''s ten o''clock, you know? |
| 27400 | _ Moi aussi, je fumais... n''est ce pas?_--"I too smoked when it was forbidden; what do you expect? |

| 27400 | _ O tempo passato, perchè non ritorni?_--"O bygone days, why do you not return?" |
| 27400 | _ Oui, toi-- comment dirais- tu,''je pourrais vouloir''?_--"Yes, you-- how would you say''I would be able to will''?" |
| 27400 | _ Pourquoi, alors?_--"Why, then?" |
| 27400 | _ Pourquoi, m''sieur?_"_ Parce que ça me plaît!_"What for, sir? |
| 27400 | _ Pourquoi, m''sieur?_"_ Parce que ça me plaît!_"What for, sir? |

| 27400 | 2), who said, in his sulky, insolent, peasantlike manner:"Et comment q''ça s''appelle, vot''marquis?" |
| 27400 | A great master would not be above painting a small child or a big dog separately-- why should he be above putting them both in the same picture? |
| 27400 | All that sounds odd now, does n''t it? |
| 27400 | All those new hotels and lodging- houses and smart shops-- what can they have been turned into? |
| 27400 | And Veronese tuned his guitar and said:"Jé vais vous canter couelquécose-- una piccola cosa da niente!--vous comprenez l''Italien?" |
| 27400 | And finding her very much to my taste, I said to my sister, just for fun,"Oh--_that''s_ Leah Gibson, is it? |
| 27400 | And that beauty, health, and strength are a part of that fitness, and old age a bar to it, who would dare deny? |
| 27400 | And that''s better than being handsome,_ is n''t_ it? |
| 27400 | And the lovely, tall, black- eyed_ damigella_--who''s she?" |
| 27400 | And what on earth do_ I_ want a fortune for? |
| 27400 | And what was love? |
| 27400 | And whenever they spoke French to you, these good people, they said"savez- vous?" |
| 27400 | And where would Barty himself have been without his wife, who came from that very class? |
| 27400 | And you let yourself go before him, and so do your family, and so do your old friends; is_ he_ not also a friend, though not an old one? |
| 27400 | And,"Mon Dieu, comme il a bonne mine, ce cher Barty-- n''est- ce pas, mon amour, que tu as bonne mine? |
| 27400 | And,"Si nous allions à l''Hippodrôme cette après- midi voir la belle écuyère Madame Richard? |
| 27400 | Are you_ me_? |
| 27400 | At what o''clock is he coming, your Monsieur Paroly?" |
| 27400 | Barracks? |
| 27400 | Barty had a passion for gazing at very tall men; like Frederic the Great( or was it his Majesty''s royal father?). |
| 27400 | Barty went up to Madame Jean:"Will you forgive me for giving you with my seal an empty envelope? |
| 27400 | But how is it you never fell in love with the fair_ Ida_? |
| 27400 | But next morning I said to him at breakfast, in English,"Was n''t your father killed in a duel?" |
| 27400 | But to think of it again Will you ever care? |
| 27400 | But when he came to each of_ us_( Josselin and me) he just mumbled his"Est- ce toi?" |
| 27400 | But why did you not come with us? |
| 27400 | But would I live it all over again? |
| 27400 | Ca n''t you speak?" |
| 27400 | Did n''t you know_ that_?" |
| 27400 | Do n''t you adore pretty women, you naughty little Barty? |
| 27400 | Do n''t you like crumpets, my dear? |
| 27400 | Do n''t you remember? |
| 27400 | Do n''t you think so?" |
| 27400 | Do they take in each other''s washing, or review each other''s books? |
| 27400 | Do you not see that the night is dark, And that the world Is only care?" |
| 27400 | Do you see the name of the street at the corner? |
| 27400 | Do you think you could carry me home?" |
| 27400 | Eh? |
| 27400 | En veux- tu? |
| 27400 | Even the best of it? |
| 27400 | For would I care, twenty years hence, to re- live these coming twenty years? |
| 27400 | Have you ever been presented to her Grace, O reader? |
| 27400 | Have you seen it? |
| 27400 | He has a peculiar way of saying"_ oê, vô!_"instead of"_ oui, vous!_"to any boy who says"moi, m''sieur?" |
| 27400 | He informally winked at me and said:"Esker voo ker jer dwaw lah vee? |
| 27400 | How could Beauty guess the Beast was a Prince in disguise? |
| 27400 | How do they live, I wonder? |
| 27400 | How else am I to live?" |
| 27400 | I suppose I am going blind?" |
| 27400 | I suppose you''re very fond of him? |
| 27400 | Il faut bien que jeunesse se passe, n''est ce pas?" |
| 27400 | Is it because no high artist-- except Briton Riviere-- will stoop to so easily understood a subject? |
| 27400 | Is it only on account of their pretty manners that my titled friends are such favorites with these highly intellectual guests of mine-- and with me? |
| 27400 | Is it still Skinner who builds for you? |
| 27400 | Is it the lost"s,"and the heavy"^"that makes up for it, which lend such a mysterious and gloomy fascination? |
| 27400 | Is it_ all_ my doing? |
| 27400 | Is n''t Julia white enough for you? |
| 27400 | It is but a humble sort of triumph to crow over-- and where does Barty Josselin come in? |
| 27400 | It is quite lovely, and begins:"Beau chevalier qui partez pour la guerre, Qu''allez- vous faire Si loin d''ici? |
| 27400 | It sticks in the memory, and it''s as simple as"How d''ye do?" |
| 27400 | Leah''s girlish instinct was a right one when she said me nay that afternoon by the Chelsea pier-- for how could she see inside me, poor child? |
| 27400 | Lequel de nous deux est volé, petit coquin?" |
| 27400 | Love or grief? |
| 27400 | MON JEUNE AMI...''"251"''YOU ASK ME WHY I LOOK SO PALE?''" |
| 27400 | Maintenant, comment dirais- tu en anglais,''_ je voudrais pouvoir_''?" |
| 27400 | Mais de vous en souvenir Prendrez- vous la peine? |
| 27400 | Mais de vous en souvenir, Et d''y revenir? |
| 27400 | May I ask you to accept my card, with my sincere excuses?..." |
| 27400 | May I ask your name?" |
| 27400 | Might n''t they try it? |
| 27400 | Need I say they have all risen to fame and fortune-- as becomes poetical justice? |
| 27400 | Next day Tescheles came up to an English student called Fox and said:"Well, old stick- in- the- mud, how are_ you_ getting on?" |
| 27400 | Now, how would you say,''I would like to be able''in English?" |
| 27400 | O human suffering, Who can cure thee? |
| 27400 | Oh, would he not be generous as he was great and be one of them for a few days, and take half the profits-- more-- whatever he liked?" |
| 27400 | Once outside the Church, the Army and Navy, or a Government office, what on earth did it matter_ who_ or_ what_ one was, or was n''t? |
| 27400 | Or was it those maternally ancestral Irish Blakes of Derrydown stirring within me? |
| 27400 | Où avions- nous donc la tête et les yeux? |
| 27400 | Part Fifth"Ô céleste haine, Comment t''assouvir? |
| 27400 | Qué vilaine langue, hein? |
| 27400 | She started violently, and turned round, and cried:"Oh, Barty, Barty, where have you been all these years?" |
| 27400 | So he puts all in a row and begins:"Rubinel, sur votre parole d''honneur, avez- vous chanté?" |
| 27400 | So round he went, from boy to boy, deliberately fixing each boy with his eye, and severely asking--"Est- ce_ toi_?" |
| 27400 | So why do n''t I give up at once? |
| 27400 | Suddenly my mother exclaimed:"Bartholomew Josselin? |
| 27400 | Take the greatest of them; what have they ever really mattered? |
| 27400 | The fact is, I''m rather fond of noble lords: why should n''t I be? |
| 27400 | The reminiscence of some antenatal incarnation of his own soul? |
| 27400 | The soul of some ancestor or ancestress-- of his mother, perhaps? |
| 27400 | The"forty year"? |
| 27400 | Then, suddenly:"Pourquoi q''tu n''aimes pas la chasse? |
| 27400 | This she did n''t mind on her own account, but when he said, quite casually:"By- the- way, I forget if I_ know_ your good husband;_ do_ I?" |
| 27400 | Voulez- vous votre café dans votre chambre?'' |
| 27400 | Vous ne voulez pas vous en aller?_""What are you looking at?" |
| 27400 | Vous ne voulez pas vous en aller?_""What are you looking at?" |
| 27400 | Voyez- vous pas que la nuit est profonde, Et que le monde N''est que souci?" |
| 27400 | Was I a happy man? |
| 27400 | Was I delighted to grasp his hand at St. Katharine''s wharf, after so many months? |
| 27400 | Was it because I knew French? |
| 27400 | Was it because I was a friend of Barty the Guardsman, who had never been supercilious towards anybody in his life? |
| 27400 | Was it because I was very tall, and dressed by Barty''s tailor, in Jermyn Street? |
| 27400 | What a beastly language, eh? |
| 27400 | What am I to you? |
| 27400 | What children and grandchildren of my own could ever be to me as these of Barty Josselin''s? |
| 27400 | What could I do? |
| 27400 | What did_ I_ care about his father''s name? |
| 27400 | What does a girl of that age really know about her own heart? |
| 27400 | What must it be like now? |
| 27400 | What on earth could the dear boy have to write about? |
| 27400 | What success of his own would he ever hope to achieve, handicapped as he would be by all the ease and luxury she would bring him? |
| 27400 | What was she? |
| 27400 | When have I had time to trouble about French? |
| 27400 | Where are they now? |
| 27400 | Who and what could Martia be? |
| 27400 | Who ever hears of decadents nowadays? |
| 27400 | Who is she? |
| 27400 | Who is this demure young black- eyed witch that has come between us, this friend of Ida Maurice''s? |
| 27400 | Who was Martia? |
| 27400 | Who was Martia? |
| 27400 | Who''s your friend?" |
| 27400 | Whose? |
| 27400 | Why are you so bent on worldly things?" |
| 27400 | Why do n''t I? |
| 27400 | Why do you love me, as you say you do, with a love passing the love of woman? |
| 27400 | Why should I take such pains about all this, and dwell so laboriously on all these minute details? |
| 27400 | Will you come once more? |
| 27400 | Will you have your coffee in your room?" |
| 27400 | Will you think of it again? |
| 27400 | Would it be right and honest and fair to her? |
| 27400 | You know her well, I suppose?" |
| 27400 | You remember dear M. Durosier at the Pension Brossard? |
| 27400 | You''ll tell me what you think of her; and you, my friend, do you also adore pretty women?" |
| 27400 | You''ve become très bel homme, Bob, plutôt bel homme que joli garçon, hein? |

| 27400 | _ Barty._"Why should n''t he come just for the pleasure of making my acquaintance?" |
| 27400 | _ En veux- tu? |
| 27400 | _ I_ won that toss--_didn''t_ I?" |
| 27400 | _ Is n''t_ that a happy coincidence? |

| 27400 | forgive me-- are you very_ fond_ of her, as I''m sure she deserves, you know?'' |
| 27400 | have n''t I been fortunate in my sister Leah? |
| 27400 | hein, ma femme?" |
| 27400 | hein? |
| 27400 | hissed an angry male voice in my ear--(which of us two is sold, you little rascal?). |

| 27400 | on being found fault with; and perceiving this, Barty manages to be found fault with every five minutes, and always says"moi, m''sieur?" |
| 27400 | or that touch of nature that makes the whole world kin at about 1 P.M. on Sunday? |
| 27400 | or, perhaps, some occult portion of himself-- of his own brain in unconscious cerebration during sleep? |

| 27400 | what hast thou done with thy brother?" |
| 27400 | what matters it how faultlessly we paint or write or sing if no one will care to look or read or listen? |
| 27400 | what was she-- that he should take her for a guide in the most momentous business of his life; and what were her credentials? |
| 27400 | what will you do without your poor devoted unknown Martia to keep watch over you and ward-- to fight for you like a wild- cat, if necessary? |
