28021 | And what induced you to run away? |
28021 | But, mother, if I do get asleep, you wo n''t let him get me? |
28021 | Crossed on the ice? |
28021 | Do n''t know? |
28021 | Is it possible? |
28021 | Ma''am,she said, suddenly,"have you ever lost a child?" |
28021 | Mamma,said one of the boys, gently touching her arm,"are you going to give away those things?" |
28021 | Shall we take off the cloak, mas''r? |
28021 | So, Uncle Tom, where are you going? |
28021 | To- night,said Mrs. Bird,"how is it possible-- and where to?" |
28021 | Well, I wo n''t, then, for your sake; but only to think of it-- isn''t it a shame? 28021 What''s little missy''s name?" |
28021 | Where are you going, mother? |
28021 | Who-- who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
28021 | You''re_ sure_, an''t you, mother? |
28021 | After a short pause, Mrs. Bird asked:--"And where do you mean to go to, my poor woman?" |
28021 | Do n''t you know me?" |
28021 | In all the world what brings you here?" |
28021 | Is it very far off ma''am?" |
28021 | Mr. Bird turned round and walked to the window, and Mrs. Bird burst into tears; but, recovering her voice, she said--"Why do you ask that? |
28021 | Now, what''s your name?" |
28021 | So, now, you hold on to her, and grow up, and be a comfort to her, thar''s my own good boy-- you will, now, wo n''t ye?" |
28021 | Tell me where you came from, and what you want?" |
28021 | Would you now turn away a poor, shivering, hungry creature from your door because he was a runaway? |
28021 | Would you, now?" |
28021 | Ye an''t offended, Mas''r George?" |
28021 | have you got him?" |
11171 | ''And Eliza, Sam?'' |
11171 | ''And when will my trouble be over?'' |
11171 | ''Art thee sure?'' |
11171 | ''Burnt up? |
11171 | ''But you love your father and mother?'' |
11171 | ''But, mother, if I do get asleep, you wo n''t let the bad man take me?'' |
11171 | ''Can you drive horses, Tom?'' |
11171 | ''Cousin, what in the world have you brought that thing here for?'' |
11171 | ''Do n''t I make a pretty young fellow?'' |
11171 | ''Do n''t know?'' |
11171 | ''Do n''t you see how much Miss Ophelia has done for you? |
11171 | ''Do n''t you think so?'' |
11171 | ''Do you know who made you?'' |
11171 | ''For you to teach, did n''t I tell you?'' |
11171 | ''Get it? |
11171 | ''Halloa, there, Simeon,''he shouted,''what news? |
11171 | ''Have you ever heard anything about God, Topsy?'' |
11171 | ''How can she?'' |
11171 | ''How can you let her do that?'' |
11171 | ''How did you come?'' |
11171 | ''How long have you lived with your master and mistress, then?'' |
11171 | ''How old are you, Topsy?'' |
11171 | ''Is it a great way off?'' |
11171 | ''Is it a year, or more, or less?'' |
11171 | ''Is n''t it nice?'' |
11171 | ''Is that you, Sam?'' |
11171 | ''Is there a boat that takes people across the river now?'' |
11171 | ''Law, you niggers,''she would go on,''does you know you''s all sinners? |
11171 | ''Laws, now, is it?'' |
11171 | ''Mas''r George? |
11171 | ''Mother, I do n''t need to keep awake, do I?'' |
11171 | ''Not while I am in trouble, Tom?'' |
11171 | ''Now cousin, what is this for? |
11171 | ''Poor Topsy,''said Eva,''why need you steal? |
11171 | ''So, Uncle Tom, where are you going?'' |
11171 | ''Sold him?'' |
11171 | ''There,''said Miss Ophelia,''will you tell me now you did n''t steal the ribbon?'' |
11171 | ''Tom,''said Aunt Chloe,''why do n''t you go too? |
11171 | ''Topsy,''Miss Ophelia would say, when her patience was at an end,''what makes you behave so badly?'' |
11171 | ''Topsy,''said Miss Ophelia,''do n''t you know it is wicked to tell lies?'' |
11171 | ''Was your master unkind to you?'' |
11171 | ''Was your mistress unkind to you?'' |
11171 | ''Well, now, tell me,''said Miss Ophelia,''have you taken anything else since you have been in the house? |
11171 | ''Were you a slave?'' |
11171 | ''What can you do? |
11171 | ''What could make you leave a good home, then, and run away, and go through such danger?'' |
11171 | ''What did you burn them up for?'' |
11171 | ''What for, pussy? |
11171 | ''What has Tom done that master should sell him?'' |
11171 | ''What has she been doing now?'' |
11171 | ''What in the world made you tell me you took those things, Topsy?'' |
11171 | ''What is it?'' |
11171 | ''What is it?'' |
11171 | ''What is missy''s name?'' |
11171 | ''What is the matter now?'' |
11171 | ''What is the matter, mother?'' |
11171 | ''What is this?'' |
11171 | ''What is to be done with her, then?'' |
11171 | ''What makes you behave so?'' |
11171 | ''What makes you so naughty, Topsy?'' |
11171 | ''What makes you so sober?'' |
11171 | ''What''s this?'' |
11171 | ''When?'' |
11171 | ''Where are they?'' |
11171 | ''Where is he?'' |
11171 | ''Why are you in such a hurry?'' |
11171 | ''Why do n''t you try to be good? |
11171 | ''Why not?'' |
11171 | ''Why not?'' |
11171 | ''Why, Eva, where did you get your necklace?'' |
11171 | ''Why, Tom, do n''t you think that you are really better off as you are?'' |
11171 | ''Why, that''s Miss Feely''s ribbon, an''t it? |
11171 | ''Why, what''s the matter?'' |
11171 | ''Why? |
11171 | ''You''re going to be good, Topsy, you understand?'' |
11171 | ''You''re sure, an''t you, mother?'' |
11171 | Are they coming?'' |
11171 | Are you going to use him for a rattle- box, or a rocking- horse, or what?'' |
11171 | Besides, what does he want with his freedom? |
11171 | But I want to ask you, whose is she-- yours or mine?'' |
11171 | But, O Lord, how can I? |
11171 | Could n''t you go all around and try and persuade people to do right about this? |
11171 | Did nobody ever tell you? |
11171 | Do n''t you know me?'' |
11171 | Do n''t you love anybody, Topsy?'' |
11171 | Do you see?'' |
11171 | How could it a got into my sleeve?'' |
11171 | Is it very far off, is Canada''? |
11171 | Is n''t there any way to have all slaves made free?'' |
11171 | Now, what''s your name?'' |
11171 | She sprang up saying,''Oh, my Harry, have they got him?'' |
11171 | Suddenly their old black man- of- all- work put his head in at the door and said,''Will missis come into the kitchen?'' |
11171 | Well, what else?'' |
11171 | What did you do for your master and mistress?'' |
11171 | What do you mean? |
11171 | What makes you so sad?'' |
11171 | What on earth did you want to bring this one for?'' |
11171 | What was to be done with Topsy? |
11171 | Where were you born?'' |
11171 | Who was your mother?'' |
11171 | Will thee tell her?'' |
11171 | Will you remember?'' |
11171 | [ Illustration]''Do you know how to sew?'' |
11171 | [ Illustration]''Where do you mean to go to, poor woman?'' |
11171 | what shall we do?'' |
13461 | A what, Sir? |
13461 | About the cat? 13461 About what, sir?" |
13461 | And I wonder,said she, giving the end of her long meditation out loud,"whether going to sleep is not as much Sabbath breaking as learning to write? |
13461 | And about the shop? |
13461 | And how can I do without you for three years? |
13461 | And now that you know all, do you think in time-- I''ll not hurry you-- but in time, do you think I could make you love me? |
13461 | And shall you go? |
13461 | And what did he say, oh? |
13461 | And where on earth shall you get the money? |
13461 | And wo n''t you come and fetch me, Tom? |
13461 | And you are not vexed with me, Aunt Johanna? |
13461 | And you promise? |
13461 | And you say he is a Stowbury man? 13461 Any person of the name of Leaf living here? |
13461 | Are you a governess? |
13461 | Are you ashamed of my working? |
13461 | Are you tired, Elizabeth? 13461 Ascott Leaf, is that you? |
13461 | Ascott, how are your business affairs progressing? 13461 Because-- you would n''t be vexed if I left you? |
13461 | Besides, did you not tell me he was very handsome and clever? |
13461 | Black, did you say? 13461 But Esther?" |
13461 | But suppose you never had it back? 13461 But we shall hope soon to see you again?" |
13461 | But what can we do? |
13461 | But, Sir,asked Elizabeth earnestly,"do you never mean to go near your aunts again?" |
13461 | Can you read, Elizabeth? |
13461 | Come a- begging, young man, I suppose? 13461 Did he want to come and see you again?" |
13461 | Did you give him my message when he came in? |
13461 | Do I? 13461 Do you go to see him often?" |
13461 | Do you know how much it is? |
13461 | Do you mind me talking to you this way, ma''am? |
13461 | Do you think he is mistaken? 13461 Do you think so? |
13461 | Do you want anything, Sir? |
13461 | Does it? 13461 Does she? |
13461 | Eh? |
13461 | Eh? |
13461 | Elizabeth, do n''t you know me? 13461 Elizabeth, do you know what has happened?" |
13461 | Elizabeth, what relation was Tom to you? 13461 Elizabeth,"said he, in a humbled tone,"how dare I ever resume my own name and get back my rightful position while Peter Ascott lives? |
13461 | Give that young woman a chair and a glass of water, will you? |
13461 | Had to do? 13461 Had ye not better go to him at once, and have the matter put right?" |
13461 | Have you any doctor? |
13461 | Have you been ill? 13461 Have you ever observed, my dear, the extraordinary way she has of fastening, or rather, not fastening her gown behind? |
13461 | Have you forgiven me? |
13461 | He is gone out, then? 13461 He loves you now; you are sure of that; but are you sure that he is a thoroughly stable and reliable character? |
13461 | His debts came to more than the thirty pounds then? |
13461 | How could that be possible? 13461 How did you learn to be so sensible?" |
13461 | How much might your weekly receipts be in a place like this? 13461 How much should I be able to earn, do you think?" |
13461 | How old is the lad? |
13461 | How? |
13461 | How? |
13461 | I am afraid I vexed Selina greatly about her to- night, and yet what can one do? 13461 I beg your pardon, but if your way lies up Southampton Row, would you object to give an old woman a share of that capital umbrella of yours?" |
13461 | I ca n''t run into debt; for who would trust me? 13461 I forsake you? |
13461 | I think, Johanna-- Hark, what can that be? |
13461 | I will go to Miss Balquidder and--"Borrow it? |
13461 | I wonder whether Miss Hilary knows of this? 13461 If it is not done, sisters-- if his public disgrace is not prevented, do n''t you see the result? |
13461 | If you please, missis, I did n''t mean to-- but I''ve heard--"What have you heard; that is, how much? |
13461 | If your mistresses are likely to be home soon, will you allow me to wait for them? 13461 In all divided duties like this somebody must suffer; the question is, which can suffer best? |
13461 | In fact, why ca n''t you arrange with him without going at all to Miss Balquidder? |
13461 | Is Miss Leaf at home? |
13461 | Is Mr. Ascott to live with us? |
13461 | Is he come in? |
13461 | Is her name Elizabeth? |
13461 | Is her? 13461 Is it Ascott? |
13461 | Is it on account of him you''re going, Miss Hilary? |
13461 | Is it? |
13461 | Is my nephew come home? |
13461 | Is she glad to see me? |
13461 | Is she gone to bed? |
13461 | Is she so very ill? 13461 Is she very stupid, do you think?" |
13461 | Is she well? 13461 It would do you no harm, Miss Hilary; will you walk with us?" |
13461 | Its the same house, is n''t it, in Russell Square? |
13461 | Left them at home, and at tea? |
13461 | Let me see; how old are you? |
13461 | Like Esther? 13461 Miss Leaf, will you take my arm?" |
13461 | My wife? 13461 Never hear of Ascott any more?" |
13461 | No followers allowed, eh? |
13461 | Nonsence!--he has money and I have none; why should n''t he give it me? |
13461 | Now, Robert, may I talk to you? |
13461 | Now, Sir, would you be so kind as to tell me something about yourself? 13461 Now, may I tell you my business?" |
13461 | Oh, Hilary, how could you wound me so? |
13461 | Or,( a bright idea occurred)"I wonder if Miss Selina, that is, Mrs. Ascott, would take me in at Russell Square?" |
13461 | Poor girl; poor Elizabeth? |
13461 | Right? |
13461 | Robert, what makes you so angry with me still? |
13461 | Robert, will you listen to me for two minutes? |
13461 | Shall I give up my academy? |
13461 | Shall I light your candle, sir? |
13461 | Shall I show you where to hang up your things? |
13461 | Shall we not see you again? |
13461 | She will be back to dinner, I suppose? |
13461 | Should you, Miss Hilary? |
13461 | Sir, if you please, might I speak with you a minute before you go out? |
13461 | So, Elizabeth, if I spend a little of my time in teaching you, you must grow up my faithful and attached bower- maiden? |
13461 | Tell me what you do think about me? |
13461 | The doctor, ma''am if he comes? |
13461 | The lad did not see the advertisement, I hope? 13461 The same girl I met on the staircase at your bones? |
13461 | They are all quite happy, then? |
13461 | Thirty pounds, and not a halfpenny to pay it with; must we borrow? |
13461 | Three weeks ago; how can I possibly tell? |
13461 | Under the tree, talking to somebody? 13461 Well, Selina; and what is your opinion of our stout friend?" |
13461 | Well, is n''t this a nice return for all my kindness? 13461 Well, my bairn, what is to be done?" |
13461 | Well, what do you say to the plan? |
13461 | Well, wo n''t you even tell a fellow your name? 13461 Were you going home, Miss Leaf? |
13461 | What are you meddling with my things for? 13461 What can have come over the girl? |
13461 | What can one expect from him? 13461 What circumstances?" |
13461 | What could n''t you stand? |
13461 | What did you want to write? |
13461 | What do you mean to do? 13461 What do you mean to do?" |
13461 | What do you mean? |
13461 | What do you say? 13461 What do you wish to know?" |
13461 | What does it all mean? |
13461 | What has the girl broken? |
13461 | What have I done? 13461 What have I done? |
13461 | What idea? |
13461 | What if he should look down upon me? 13461 What is it then? |
13461 | What is that? |
13461 | What is the matter? 13461 What made you leave home at this hour of the night? |
13461 | What motive? |
13461 | What''s this for? |
13461 | What, alone? |
13461 | What? |
13461 | When are you going to bed? |
13461 | When do you mean to have your little talk with her? |
13461 | Where had he gone to? |
13461 | Where has she hurt herself? |
13461 | Where have I been? 13461 Where is her husband? |
13461 | Where is that boy? 13461 Where to-- London? |
13461 | Where to? |
13461 | Who is dead? |
13461 | Who is wanting you? 13461 Who''s that? |
13461 | Who''s that? |
13461 | Who? 13461 Who? |
13461 | Who? |
13461 | Why did you not come sooner? |
13461 | Why does n''t he get up of a morning then instead of lying in bed, and keeping the break- fast about till ten? 13461 Why impossible? |
13461 | Why not? 13461 Why not?" |
13461 | Why not? |
13461 | Why should that old fellow be as rich as Croesus and I as poor as a rat? 13461 Why, is n''t he a mere boy; ever so much younger than you are?" |
13461 | Why, what''s the matter? 13461 Why?" |
13461 | Will He? |
13461 | Will she? 13461 Will you give me a day or two to think about it and consult my sisters?" |
13461 | Will you take a chair, Mrs. Hand? 13461 Wo n''t you be tired if you walk so fast, Miss Hilary?" |
13461 | Wo n''t you give me one kiss, Elizabeth? |
13461 | Would you just go and ask the landlady if she has got such thing as a latch key? |
13461 | Would you really like that? |
13461 | Yes,said Johanna, with a slight sigh;"and did you notice? |
13461 | You consulted him? |
13461 | You do n''t care, then, what becomes of us all? 13461 You do n''t mean that? |
13461 | You saw them? |
13461 | You think me very much changed? |
13461 | You wicked girl, how could it possibly be the cat? 13461 You would not like me to tell you I did not love Johanna?" |
13461 | You''ll not sit up long, my dear? 13461 Your wife?" |
13461 | ''Tisn''t any bad news from home, is it? |
13461 | --what would Robert Lyon say? |
13461 | A pretty life for Mr. Ascott Leaf, is n''t it now? |
13461 | Already, what must she have thought of us-- people who take tea in the kitchen?" |
13461 | And Hilary? |
13461 | And afterward, will you see her safe home, poor lassie? |
13461 | And her pinafore""Her what? |
13461 | And if you want me you''ll send to me at once? |
13461 | And what salary does Miss-- Miss What''s- her- name give to each of you? |
13461 | And why not? |
13461 | And yet why pity her? |
13461 | And, Selina, where is the money to come from? |
13461 | Another bitterness( and who shall blame it, for when love is really love, have not the lovers a right to be one another''s first thought?) |
13461 | Any special message, eh?" |
13461 | Any thing about Master Henry? |
13461 | Are all the family well?" |
13461 | Are n''t they, Elizabeth?" |
13461 | Are n''t you glad to see me? |
13461 | Are we not gentle women?" |
13461 | Are you aware that London lodgings are very expensive? |
13461 | Are you free? |
13461 | Are you good at figures; do you understand book- keeping?" |
13461 | Are you little Tommy Cliffe, and do you come from Stowbury?" |
13461 | Are you to be trusted?" |
13461 | At first, in somewhat high flown and poetical phrases, then melting into the one, eternally old and eternally new,"Do you love me?" |
13461 | At last she said, in a very gentle, subdued voice,"Tom, are you fond of Esther? |
13461 | Ay, whose? |
13461 | Ay, why was it that the boy was what he was? |
13461 | But Ascott? |
13461 | But do you think you can ever make any thing out of Elizabeth? |
13461 | But he can not be long? |
13461 | Ca n''t I come and go as I like, without being pestered by women? |
13461 | Ca n''t a man be civil to a pretty girl without being called over the coals in this way?" |
13461 | Ca n''t we hold out a little longer, and live upon tick till I get into practice? |
13461 | Can a man, even a young man, find his highest happiness in mere personal enjoyment? |
13461 | Can you or any body point out a way?" |
13461 | Could Miss Selina really love, and be intending to marry, that horrid little man? |
13461 | Could it be a wedding? |
13461 | Could it be that he, Robert Lyon, had been seized with the_ auri sacra fames_, which he had so often inveighed against and despised? |
13461 | Could n''t you say it out, and let me help you? |
13461 | Could she possibly afford a new pair of boots? |
13461 | Did any gentleman, short and dirty, with a hooked nose, inquire for him yesterday? |
13461 | Did she do harm? |
13461 | Did you come to ask my advice, or had you any definite plan of your own?" |
13461 | Did you get any thing out of her? |
13461 | Did your mistress send you?" |
13461 | Do n''t you see, Ascott?" |
13461 | Do n''t you think so, Elizabeth?" |
13461 | Do reckon it all up?" |
13461 | Do you believe he will love you always?" |
13461 | Do you believe this?" |
13461 | Do you like her as-- as you used to like me?" |
13461 | Do you mean to get married in London, Elizabeth?" |
13461 | Do you think I am growing mercenary?" |
13461 | Do you think that I do n''t like you, Elizabeth?" |
13461 | Do you think that really was a lie she told?" |
13461 | Do you want to get at the check, and be peering at it to see if it''s all right? |
13461 | Do you?" |
13461 | Elizabeth looked up with a long, wistfull stare of intense surprise, and then added,"Have I done any thing wrong, missis?" |
13461 | Elizabeth, I think, your name is?" |
13461 | Elizabeth, are you to be trusted?" |
13461 | Elizabeth, subdued and wretched, waited till she could wait no longer; then knocked at the door, and asked humbly if she should bring in supper? |
13461 | Elizabeth, will you go with me, or remain here?" |
13461 | For is not adhesiveness, faithfulness, constancy-- call it what you will-- at the root of all citizenship, clanship, and family love? |
13461 | For what reason?" |
13461 | For, let us have all the philosophy at our fingers''ends, what are we but children? |
13461 | From his inherited nature, his temperament, or his circumstances? |
13461 | From whom?" |
13461 | Has Miss Selina been a- grumbling at me?" |
13461 | Has she any nephews and nieces wanting a governess?" |
13461 | Has she no relations-- no mother or sisters?" |
13461 | Have I?" |
13461 | Have we not told you the whole truth? |
13461 | Have you actually wanted food?" |
13461 | He flushed up, and asked what she meant by doubting his word? |
13461 | He was very fond of Johanna; still-- If I tell what followed will it forever lower Robert Lyon in the estimation of all readers? |
13461 | Hilary took two, asking him gravely"If he was sure he could spare so much? |
13461 | Hilary, my dear, suppose you bring down your brown merino?" |
13461 | Hilary, what have you promised? |
13461 | How can she respect a family that never locks up any thing?" |
13461 | How could she do it? |
13461 | How dared you go? |
13461 | How is it to be met? |
13461 | How is my sister? |
13461 | How many old gowns have we?" |
13461 | How much happiness was there in the large house at Russell Square? |
13461 | How was it possible to make excuse to a servant for her mistress''s shortcomings? |
13461 | How was it?" |
13461 | I do n''t like thinking of it-- and all for the want of twenty pounds? |
13461 | I mean, are you engaged to be married?" |
13461 | I suppose you always travel by omnibus?" |
13461 | I wonder what a foreigner would think of this view? |
13461 | I wonder what she would say to it?" |
13461 | I''ve got none? |
13461 | Is any woman ever deaf to that? |
13461 | Is he ever coming home?" |
13461 | Is it because your mistress is in serious danger that you want to send for her sister?" |
13461 | Is it ever so in this world? |
13461 | Is it not the same feeling which, granting they remain at all, makes old friendships dearer than any new? |
13461 | Is it so?" |
13461 | Is n''t that the young man you are to be married to? |
13461 | Is not that man he?" |
13461 | Is she really to stay?" |
13461 | Is that the way you mean to behave to Elizabeth? |
13461 | Is there in this case?" |
13461 | Is there no way of avoiding it?" |
13461 | Johanna is old-- Hilary may be married; you will take care of my baby?" |
13461 | Johanna, why do n''t you speak to your servant?" |
13461 | Johanna?" |
13461 | Let me see-- how much will it come to? |
13461 | Let''s see; where is it to be cashed? |
13461 | Look here, Miss Hilary Leaf-- did you ever set eyes on this before?" |
13461 | Lyon?" |
13461 | May I come with you? |
13461 | Maybe a relation of yours, Miss?" |
13461 | Maybe you''ve heard of them, Elizabeth?" |
13461 | Miss Balquidder called over the stair- head, in her quick, imperative voice--"David, is your wife away to her bed yet?" |
13461 | Miss Leaf, would you be ashamed of keeping a shop?" |
13461 | Mrs. Ascott opened her eyes; they wandered from side to side, and then she said, feebly,"Elizabeth, where''s my baby?" |
13461 | Much as she had longed for work, to get this sort of work-- to keep a stationer''s shop? |
13461 | Must I tell the truth, and own that before she had gone two streets''length Hilary ceased to feel so very, very miserable? |
13461 | My sister would like it; would n''t she?" |
13461 | No reading to night?" |
13461 | Not a word was answered; what could be answered? |
13461 | Now how was he to be told? |
13461 | Now what did such things signify? |
13461 | Now, can you send out for a cab for me?" |
13461 | Now, really, I ca n''t stand--""She is to sleep in the box- closet; where else could she sleep?" |
13461 | Now, where shall we go?" |
13461 | Of course I do? |
13461 | Of course not, it will be said; how could a young man be expected to trouble himself about these things? |
13461 | Oh, will it ever, ever be?" |
13461 | One can not be too careful over-- What''s that? |
13461 | Or any one who had been long abroad? |
13461 | Or perhaps yourself? |
13461 | Or would she like to remain with Johanna as she was, till just before they sailed? |
13461 | Or"--looking uneasily at her--"I have n''t vexed you, have I?" |
13461 | Perhaps I''m going your way? |
13461 | Perhaps you''d like to know who to? |
13461 | Possibly Esther had suggested writing it? |
13461 | Selina sighed; could it be at the thought of that twenty years ago? |
13461 | Selina, how can I help it if a girl of fifteen years old is not a paragon of perfection? |
13461 | Shall I call her down stairs, and tell her to light a fire in the parlor?" |
13461 | Shall I light your candle also?" |
13461 | Shall I take a cab and fetch Miss Hilary at once?" |
13461 | Shall I teach you?" |
13461 | Shall we let her go?" |
13461 | Shall you prosecute him?" |
13461 | Shall you start before dinner?" |
13461 | She does not know?" |
13461 | Still here she was; and what was to be done with her? |
13461 | Suppose I start at once?" |
13461 | The eldest?" |
13461 | The hundred labors she went through-- weariness of body and travail of soul, the risks she ran, the pitfalls she escaped-- what need to record here? |
13461 | The question is, What is keeping the Sabbath day''holy?'' |
13461 | The young woman that was with you was our Esther here, was n''t she?" |
13461 | Then he tried to recover himself, and said crossly,"Well, and if it was, where''s the harm? |
13461 | Then she heard his voice asking her,"So you think I was right?" |
13461 | Then they loosed arms, and Hilary knew that they should never walk together again till-- when and how? |
13461 | Then, steadfast in her new good behavior, she inquired"if he wanted any thing more to- night?" |
13461 | There was one person-- Is he alive still? |
13461 | They did not talk much; where was the use of it? |
13461 | Tom Cliffe? |
13461 | Uncommon sharp of me to hunt you out; was n''t it Elizabeth?" |
13461 | Was he your cousin, or what?" |
13461 | Was it better or worse for them that their anguish had to be secret? |
13461 | Was n''t he called your beau?" |
13461 | Was she here? |
13461 | Was she jealous? |
13461 | Was she the only one who thought of"poor Selina?" |
13461 | Well, like Gilpin''s,''It carries weight: it rides a race,''Tis for a thousand pound?'' |
13461 | What are you doing to me?" |
13461 | What are you doing, nurse? |
13461 | What can she be after? |
13461 | What did she deserve, more than her neighbors, that she should be so very, very happy? |
13461 | What do you mean, Hilary?" |
13461 | What do you say, Ascott?" |
13461 | What do you say, Johanna?" |
13461 | What does it signify if I can but keep myself warm? |
13461 | What has become of my aunt Johanna?" |
13461 | What has been the matter?" |
13461 | What if he should return and find me different from what he expected?" |
13461 | What is the end of such men as these? |
13461 | What must not poor Tom have sunk to before he had come to live there? |
13461 | What need of taking care of herself? |
13461 | What was the use of talking? |
13461 | What would her sisters say? |
13461 | What would my aunts say if they knew it?" |
13461 | What young lass under seventeen, of any rank, does not cause plenty of trouble to her natural guardians? |
13461 | What, indeed, could they say? |
13461 | What, or more awful question still, who was to blame? |
13461 | When did he go?" |
13461 | When do you think you will be able to get into practice?" |
13461 | When shall you be married?" |
13461 | When you are ready, will you come up stairs?" |
13461 | Where could he go? |
13461 | Where have you been? |
13461 | Who are you?" |
13461 | Who can"put an old head on young shoulders?" |
13461 | Who did you say he was?" |
13461 | Who knows? |
13461 | Who shall be first to speak? |
13461 | Who shall catch the passing angel''s wing? |
13461 | Who was it that you stood talking with, under our tree in the square, between nine and ten o''clock, this night three weeks ago?" |
13461 | Whose fault is it?" |
13461 | Whose will-- we dare not say whose blame-- is it that evil must inevitably generate evil? |
13461 | Why ca n''t he do his learning by daylight? |
13461 | Why did n''t his wife apply to the housekeeper?" |
13461 | Why need you do anything, Aunt Hilary? |
13461 | Why not take our meals there, and sit there regularly of evenings?" |
13461 | Why not try? |
13461 | Why not? |
13461 | Why should I be put into the world to enjoy myself, and ca n''t? |
13461 | Why should I not be married as well as my neighbors?" |
13461 | Why should we be always dragged down-- down-- in this way? |
13461 | Why was I made like what I am, and then punished for it? |
13461 | Why?" |
13461 | Will nobody come and speak to me?" |
13461 | Will nobody teach my baby to remember me?" |
13461 | Will you take the management of my stationer''s shop?" |
13461 | Will your servant call my carriage?" |
13461 | Would it ever be that any body should take care of her? |
13461 | Would she consent-- there seemed no special reason to the contrary-- that it should be immediately? |
13461 | Would you like company home?" |
13461 | Yet is not the whole of life made up of infinitesimally small things? |
13461 | Yet what would Johanna think if the refused? |
13461 | You are quite sure it is all?" |
13461 | You are the mistress, I suppose; why do n''t you speak to your servant?" |
13461 | You did not tell him about us?" |
13461 | You know where?" |
13461 | You promise that?" |
13461 | You understand? |
13461 | You want more wages? |
13461 | You wish to get rid of me for the evening? |
13461 | You would not betray me, if only for the sake of that poor fellow yonder?" |
13461 | You would not like that?" |
13461 | You''ll send her home, may be, in two or three years''time, to let us have a look at her?" |
13461 | You''re the head shop- woman, I suppose?" |
13461 | a letter, John?" |
13461 | and he had the world to fight with; how would it use him? |
13461 | and their was just going to leap on to the box himself, when he stopped to ask"Where he should tell cabby to drive to?" |
13461 | are you there? |
13461 | ca n''t you let me be quiet? |
13461 | how scold for ill- doing this young girl, to whom, ere she had been a night in the house, so bad an example had been set? |
13461 | leave every thing open to her-- clothes, books, money; trust her with all your secrets; treat her as your most particular friend?" |
13461 | that his liking me-- I mean in that sort of way-- is quite impossible?" |
13461 | that there were no friends to pity, inquire, or console? |
13461 | though whispering meanwhile to his Aunt Hilary,"What on earth did you bring her for?" |
13461 | was it all fancy, folly? |
13461 | what shall I do? |
13461 | what would my Aunt Hilary say? |
13461 | what would they not have given for the fiercest knock, the most impatient, angry footstep, if only it had been their boy''s? |
13461 | what''s wrong? |
13461 | who on earth is he?" |
13461 | who would have thought the old fellow would have been so stupid? |
13461 | will you explain yourself?" |
13461 | with a sudden consternation,"what are we to do about Elizabeth?" |
13461 | you can not be in earnest?" |
13461 | you know what happened when you told him I had called, eh? |
11323 | A writ? 11323 And can you imagine, that the most upright conduct is always superior to the danger of ambiguity?" |
11323 | And do they take off them there things of nights? |
11323 | And do you refuse, sir, to attend to the particulars of the charge I allege? |
11323 | And how dared you read it? 11323 And if he were, what then? |
11323 | And pray, sir, what is your sorrow to me? |
11323 | And pray, sir, who is this Mr. Falkland? 11323 And so the little dear thought itself cunning enough to outwit me, did it? |
11323 | And this is your decision, is it? 11323 And what benefit will result from this conviction? |
11323 | And what signifies being tried, when they do worse than hang a man, and all beforehand? 11323 And you still persist in your hard thoughts of me?" |
11323 | Are you contented to go now? |
11323 | Barnes!--What do you mean? 11323 But how will you help yourself? |
11323 | Can you believe then that ignorance is the only, or the safest, preservative of integrity? |
11323 | Can you stand? |
11323 | Clitus,said I,"was a man of very coarse and provoking manners, was he not?" |
11323 | Did you immediately examine to see that every thing was safe? |
11323 | Did you say nothing to him-- take no notice of the confusion your sudden appearance produced? |
11323 | Died? 11323 Died?" |
11323 | Do not you believe me? 11323 Do you know what it is you have done? |
11323 | Do you know, cousin, I wish I could wake, and find that the last month-- only about a month-- was a dream? |
11323 | Do you think so? 11323 Forgot? |
11323 | Here? 11323 Here? |
11323 | Ho!--Well, sir: and what have you further to offer? |
11323 | How came it? 11323 How came this conversation?" |
11323 | How do you do, my dear? |
11323 | How is it,said Mr. Collins, gravely,"that you have been reduced to this forlorn condition? |
11323 | How long was it before you missed your property? |
11323 | How would a man of true discernment in such a case reply to his brutal assailant? 11323 I say, sir? |
11323 | If she be dead, what is that to me? 11323 In other words, you were his servant?" |
11323 | In that case,retorted the senior magistrate abruptly,"what can you have to disclose? |
11323 | Is this the end of genius, virtue, and excellence? 11323 Is this,"said I,"the fruit of conscious guilt, or of the disgust that a man of honour conceives at guilt undeservedly imputed?" |
11323 | Murderer?--Did I employ knives or pistols? 11323 Nay, I am sure, sir-- you are not in earnest?" |
11323 | Now, have not I done it nicely? 11323 Of what, sir!--Do you threaten me? |
11323 | Oh, ho, you are a gentleman, are you? 11323 Orders? |
11323 | Pooh, what signifies what I am? 11323 Shall I trample upon a man thus dreadfully reduced? |
11323 | That is what you say? 11323 Well, Williams, and could you find no reasons there?" |
11323 | Well, and what then? 11323 Well, my good Thomas,"said I, in a querulous tone, and with a hesitating manner,"am I not a most miserable creature?" |
11323 | Well, sir, what is your reply to this challenge of your servant? |
11323 | Well, sir: I found a letter written by that Hawkins the other day; did not that letter fall into your hands? 11323 Were you so stupid and undistinguishing as not to know that the preservation of your life was the uniform object of my exertions? |
11323 | What circumstances have occurred from that time to the present? |
11323 | What do you mean by that? |
11323 | What is in the wind now? 11323 What is it that you require of me? |
11323 | What justice? 11323 What noise is that? |
11323 | What provocation could induce you to so cruel a treatment? |
11323 | What steps did you take upon this discovery? |
11323 | What the devil can have made you so forward, if you had not some sly purpose to answer, by which I am to be overreached? |
11323 | What, did you use him thus, without so much as being irritated by any resistance on his part? |
11323 | What,replied Mr. Forester,"are the grounds of your suspicion?" |
11323 | Where is my child? |
11323 | Where is the man that has suffered more from the injustice of society than I have done? 11323 Where would you take her? |
11323 | Who are you? |
11323 | Who gave you a right to be my confidant? 11323 Who? |
11323 | Why do you come in here? 11323 Why do you hold me? |
11323 | Why is it that I am compelled to this confidence? 11323 Why not, Thomas? |
11323 | Why should you subject me to an eternal penance? 11323 Why, sir, was not your grandpapa my grandpapa? |
11323 | Why, you would not tear her from her bed? 11323 Why,"upon such occasions I was accustomed to exclaim,"why am I overwhelmed with the load of existence? |
11323 | Will you come with me, and convince your eyes? 11323 Will you hear my justification? |
11323 | Yes, sir, I do.--But, if I did not, pray what witnesses have you of the murder? |
11323 | You began in confidence; why did you not continue in confidence? 11323 You want to leave me, do you? |
11323 | --"How so?" |
11323 | After all, was it not vice in me to desire to involve another man in my sufferings? |
11323 | Am I not compelled to go on in folly, having once begun?" |
11323 | Am I then, thus miserable and ruined, a proper subject upon which for you to exercise your ingenuity, and improve your power of tormenting? |
11323 | Am I to answer for every thing that goes wrong in the world?--What do you come here for? |
11323 | And again, whether, if I had been conscious they would he found among my property, I should myself have indicated the place where I had concealed it? |
11323 | And by whom was she now torn from his indignation? |
11323 | And do you expect that mankind will ever forget, or forgive such a deed? |
11323 | And do you think that you shall wound it? |
11323 | And for what? |
11323 | And how much had he to struggle with in this respect, in the unapprehending obstinacy of some of his Macedonians?" |
11323 | And if by others, why not by me? |
11323 | And is this the way to bring me to your purpose? |
11323 | And so you can scold, can you? |
11323 | And so, do you see? |
11323 | And upon his death- bed too? |
11323 | And were you fool enough to believe that any obstinacy, however determined, could enable you to despise the keen rebuke of justice? |
11323 | And who are you? |
11323 | And yet what was my fault? |
11323 | And yet what was the meaning of all Mr. Falkland''s agonies and terrors? |
11323 | And, if it were, what security had I against the injustice of a man, vigilant, capricious, and criminal? |
11323 | And, in a concern that is so completely my own, shall my will go for nothing? |
11323 | And, when I had done all, what had I done? |
11323 | Answer me, Gines, were you the cause of this young man being left naked and wounded this bitter morning upon the forest?" |
11323 | Are learning, sensibility, and taste, no securities to exempt their possessor from this vulgar abuse? |
11323 | Are my passions to be wound and unwound by an insolent domestic? |
11323 | Are not you always hankering after the men? |
11323 | Are not you continually singing the praises of Falkland? |
11323 | Are not you in love with Falkland? |
11323 | Are you clear that this haste will not mar, instead of make an understanding?" |
11323 | Are you in distress? |
11323 | Are you in want? |
11323 | Are you inaccessible to remorse? |
11323 | Are you not struck to the heart with the unmerited goodness of your master? |
11323 | Are you of that mind now you have heard them? |
11323 | At length he could deceive himself no longer, and exclaimed with a distracted accent,"And is this all?" |
11323 | At present he appears to be the persecutor, and I the persecuted: is not this difference the mere creature of the imagination? |
11323 | Beside, how narrow would be the use of this science when acquired? |
11323 | But could this circumstance have any reference to me? |
11323 | But do you think it will conduce in any respect to your benefit, to throw out such insolent and intolerable insinuations?" |
11323 | But if I had no fortune, is not that the case with a thousand other folks? |
11323 | But if you are resolute, do you see? |
11323 | But of what use are talents and sentiments in the corrupt wilderness of human society? |
11323 | But ought I not to turn again, when I am trampled upon? |
11323 | But pray, do not you think this great hero was a sort of a madman? |
11323 | But shall I forget what a vast expense was bestowed in erecting the monument of his fame? |
11323 | But surely you owe me justice?" |
11323 | But to what purpose appeal to probabilities and conjecture, in the face of incontestable facts? |
11323 | But was it for me to force this conduct upon him, if, now in his declining years, his own fortitude shrank from it? |
11323 | But what signifies prating? |
11323 | But why do I call the point at which I was now arrived at a resting- place? |
11323 | But you are for a trial of skill? |
11323 | But you do not infer from thence that these people are to do as they please, and never meet with their deserts?" |
11323 | But, if a fair fame were of the most inexpressible value, is this the method which common sense would prescribe to retrieve it? |
11323 | Can I not draw amusement from the stores of my own mind? |
11323 | Can not you read?" |
11323 | Can that circumstance dishonour me? |
11323 | Can you be contented to purchase them at the price of treachery-- of violating the laws of hospitality?" |
11323 | Can you bring her back to life, as you have driven her out of it? |
11323 | Can you have no anxiety for my justification, whatever may be the unfavourable impression you may have received against me?" |
11323 | Can you hear her name, and not sink into the earth? |
11323 | Can you recollect her virtues, her innocence, her spotless manners, her unresentful temper, and not run distracted with remorse? |
11323 | Can you retire into solitude, and not see her pale and patient ghost rising to reproach you? |
11323 | Can you think of condemning a man when you have heard only one side of his story?" |
11323 | Clare, why could not I have died in your stead? |
11323 | Could I discourage a frankness so perfectly in consonance with my wishes, and receive in an ungracious way a kindness that stole away my heart? |
11323 | Could I ever inflict upon you such injuries as you have made me suffer? |
11323 | Could I, by any refinement of reason, convert this dreadful series into sport? |
11323 | Could a real criminal have shown himself so unabashed, composed, and firm as I have now done? |
11323 | Could an amusement of this sort be dangerous? |
11323 | Could he be following her? |
11323 | Could no human ingenuity and exertion effect them? |
11323 | Could there be any peril in the short interval that was to elapse, before the vessel was to weigh anchor and quit the English shore? |
11323 | Could you mistake the bigoted and obstinate conduct of Forester, in offering a hundred guineas for your apprehension, for mine? |
11323 | Did I ever prove myself unworthy of your confidence? |
11323 | Did I give her poison? |
11323 | Did I then mention a syllable of the murder, the secret of which was in my possession? |
11323 | Did all these persecutions persuade me to put an end to my silence? |
11323 | Did his power reach through all space, and his eye penetrate every concealment? |
11323 | Did it really contain such an extent of arguments and application, that nobody but I was discerning enough to see? |
11323 | Did not I endeavour to prevent your being sent thither? |
11323 | Did not I maintain you in prison? |
11323 | Did not he over- run nations that would never have heard of him but for his devastations? |
11323 | Did not you read it?" |
11323 | Did the imbecility of his grey hairs afford no advantage to my terrible adversary in the contest? |
11323 | Did these authors think that, by the coarseness of their ribaldry, they could destroy his well- earned fame? |
11323 | Did this show me a man unworthy to be trusted? |
11323 | Did you believe that we would live in hourly fear of you, tremble at your threats, and compromise, whenever you should so please, with your insolence? |
11323 | Did you ever read, Williams, of a man more gallant, generous, and free? |
11323 | Did you ever see him?" |
11323 | Did you ever see the person before?" |
11323 | Did you never read his history?" |
11323 | Did you never say that, if once I brought on myself the weight of your displeasure, my fall should be irreparable? |
11323 | Did you not add, that my innocence should be of no service to me, and that you laughed at so feeble a defence? |
11323 | Did you think I were such a goose, to take all this trouble merely to gratify your whim? |
11323 | Didst thou believe me impotent, imbecile, and idiot- like, with no understanding to contrive thy ruin, and no energy to perpetrate it? |
11323 | Didst thou imagine that there was no danger in inflicting on me pains however great, miseries however dreadful? |
11323 | Do not you know, you have been voted out? |
11323 | Do you remember his tears, his remorse, his determined abstinence from food, which he could scarcely be persuaded to relinquish? |
11323 | Do you think I could bear to see that?" |
11323 | Do you think I will be an instrument to be played on at your pleasure, till you have extorted all the treasures of my soul? |
11323 | Do you think I will be contradicted and opposed for nothing? |
11323 | Do you think I will let any body else choose a husband for me? |
11323 | Do you think we will be your slaves? |
11323 | Do you think you are out of the reach of my power, because a court of justice has acquitted you?" |
11323 | Do you think you shall watch my privacies with impunity?" |
11323 | Do you think, strumpet; that you shall get the better of me by sheer impudence? |
11323 | Do''ee think ee can creep out at the key- hole, lovey? |
11323 | Does he think I will feel all that I endure for nothing?" |
11323 | Does not your heart tell you that I am innocent?" |
11323 | Had I not sufficiently proved my constancy and fidelity? |
11323 | Had he no fears for his own secret and atrocious offences? |
11323 | Had they stronger motives than I? |
11323 | Have I been nursing a viper in my bosom? |
11323 | Have I ever done any thing to deserve your unkind suspicions? |
11323 | Have I not been employed from my infancy in gratifying an insatiable curiosity? |
11323 | Have not I, thinks I, arms and legs as well as other people? |
11323 | Have you not killed her in the first bloom of her youth? |
11323 | Having recovered himself, he enquired, why then, that being the case, I did not quit his service? |
11323 | Hawkins, I think, is your name? |
11323 | He advanced towards Mr. Tyrrel without a moment''s pause, and in a peremptory voice asked him what he did there? |
11323 | He appeared to muse for a moment upon what I had said, and then asked what reason I could have to complain of Mr. Falkland? |
11323 | He looked at the speaker with a fixed and penetrating glance, and then said,"Nay, Gines, do you know? |
11323 | He said little more to his brother, except asking, as if casually, what sort of an old woman this was? |
11323 | He that lately possessed it has injured me; does that alter its value as a medium of exchange? |
11323 | He went on:"You do so; do you? |
11323 | His sight was already dim; he pulled up his horse till I should overtake him; and then said,"Who are you? |
11323 | How atrociously absurd to suppose any motive capable of inducing such a man to play the part of a lurking assassin? |
11323 | How can it fail to do so? |
11323 | How can she be in Mr. Tyrrel''s debt? |
11323 | How can you ask such a question? |
11323 | How dare you give yourself such unaccountable liberties?" |
11323 | How dare you look down upon your equals?" |
11323 | How do you know? |
11323 | How few persons would he encounter so unjust and injurious as you, if his own conduct were directed by the principles of reason and benevolence? |
11323 | How many hundred thousands of lives did he sacrifice in his career? |
11323 | How must he suppose I came to that place? |
11323 | How shall I describe the feelings of this unfortunate man? |
11323 | How then can we be of a different family?" |
11323 | How unfeeling to oblige him to defend himself from such an imputation? |
11323 | How was a mind, active and indefatigable like mine, to endure this misery? |
11323 | How was it possible for me to be so eager, so obstinate, in a purpose so diabolical? |
11323 | I am no murderer; yet, if I were, what worse could I be fated to suffer? |
11323 | I am not guilty of what is imputed to me? |
11323 | I am unable to cope with you: what then? |
11323 | I am very happy as I am: why should I be married?" |
11323 | I ask him--"Did you never boast to me in private of your power to ruin me? |
11323 | I ask you further,--Did you not receive a letter from me the morning of the day on which I departed, requesting your consent to my departure? |
11323 | I asked Mr. Forester, whether it were probable, if I had stolen these things, that I should not have contrived, at least to remove them along with me? |
11323 | I began:--"Why can not I recall the last four days of my life? |
11323 | I exclaimed within myself,"What scene of death has Roscius now to act?" |
11323 | I exclaimed, in the bitterness of my heart,"Of what value is a fair fame? |
11323 | I might find an individual ready to undertake this office in my behalf; but where should I find the benevolent soul of Mrs. Marney? |
11323 | I tell you she does owe me,--owes me eleven hundred pounds.--The law justifies it.--What do you think laws were made for? |
11323 | I want nothing of you: how dare you refuse me the privilege of a reasonable being, to live unmolested in poverty and innocence? |
11323 | I was not deterred by your menaces--(what could you make me suffer more than I actually suffered?) |
11323 | I was not-- no, it was impossible-- the person who had formerly lived servant with Mr. Falkland, of----? |
11323 | I will speak with a voice more fearful than thunder!--Why should I be supposed to speak from any dishonourable motive? |
11323 | If I could have submitted to it in other respects, what purpose would it answer? |
11323 | If I encountered him, what chance had I of victory? |
11323 | If I had been guilty, should I not have embraced the opportunity? |
11323 | If I had, how could I tell that the second and third judgment would be more favourable than the first? |
11323 | If I were defeated, what was the penalty I had to suffer? |
11323 | If I were your enemy, should not I have reason? |
11323 | If fidelity and honour be banished from thieves, where shall they find refuge upon the face of the earth? |
11323 | If he must in every case be at my mercy, in which mode ought he to have sought his safety, in conciliation, or in inexorable cruelty? |
11323 | If no other person have the courage to set limits to the tyranny of courts of justice, shall not we? |
11323 | Imprudent though I had been, could I voluntarily subject myself to an eternal penance, and estrangement from human society? |
11323 | In fine, for what purpose could a poor beggar, who had never been in Ireland in his life, want to transport himself to that country? |
11323 | In searching me they had found upon me fifteen guineas, how should a poor beggar lad, such as I appeared, come honestly by fifteen guineas? |
11323 | In short, I am determined she shall marry this lad: you do not know any harm of him, do you? |
11323 | In the devil''s name, madam, do you think he would write poetry if he could do any thing better?" |
11323 | In the mean time, what must be my feelings? |
11323 | Is every body incapable of saying what kind of stuff a man is made of? |
11323 | Is he thus blind to the future, thus totally unsuspecting of what is to occur in the next moment of his existence? |
11323 | Is it for you to ask that question? |
11323 | Is it in man to leap from the high- raised precipice, or rush unconcerned into the midst of flames? |
11323 | Is it necessary to give any particular and precise reasons why I should wish to change the place of my residence? |
11323 | Is it not enough that I am pennyless? |
11323 | Is it not freighted with various knowledge? |
11323 | Is it not strange that such a one as I should retain lineaments of a human creature? |
11323 | Is it possible that she should know what has been planned for the few next hours?" |
11323 | Is it possible, if you had been honest, that you would not have acquainted me with your story? |
11323 | Is not my estate my own? |
11323 | Is not that impotence greater than I have yet imagined? |
11323 | Is not the man my tenant? |
11323 | Is that a country of liberty, where thousands languish in dungeons and fetters? |
11323 | Is that a reason you should hinder his preferment?" |
11323 | Is the luminary of the world thus for ever gone? |
11323 | Is there any charge so frivolous, upon which men are not consigned to those detested abodes? |
11323 | Is there any villainy that is not practised by justices and prosecutors? |
11323 | Is this the kindness you professed? |
11323 | Is this the way to obtain the favour of a man of consequence and respectability? |
11323 | Is truth then entitled to adoration for its own sake, and not for the sake of the happiness it is calculated to produce? |
11323 | It is true: my mind, the clearness of my spirit, the firmness of my temper, are beyond his reach; is not my life equally so, if I please? |
11323 | It seems too you know-- accursed remembrance!--that I was accused of this crime?" |
11323 | It was an instantaneous impulse, a short- lived and passing alienation of mind; but what must Mr. Falkland think of that alienation? |
11323 | It was extraordinary: what could be become of her? |
11323 | Let us suppose that Hawkins has behaved unjustifiably, and insulted you: is that an offence that never can be expiated? |
11323 | May I not employ my ingenuity to vex him with difficulties, and laugh at the endless labour to which he will be condemned?" |
11323 | May I not meet hereafter with men ingenuous like him, who shall do me justice, and sympathise with my calamity? |
11323 | Might not I as well desire you to leave the county, as you desire me? |
11323 | Might not Mr. Falkland reduce him to a condition as wretched and low as mine? |
11323 | Might not his integrity be browbeaten and defeated, as mine had been? |
11323 | Mr. Grimes, what do you mean?" |
11323 | Must he perpetually trample upon his betters? |
11323 | Must the father be ruined, and the son hanged, to glut your resentment?" |
11323 | My Christian name? |
11323 | My first sweetheart was Bet Butterfield, but what of that? |
11323 | Of what would you convince me? |
11323 | On the other hand, could I pretend to know what evils might result to him from his declaring himself my advocate? |
11323 | One of the company cried out,"Who goes there? |
11323 | One of the first questions that then occurred was, what shall I do with the knowledge I have been so eager to acquire? |
11323 | Ought I to submit to waste the best years of my life in my present wretched situation? |
11323 | Pretty master''s manners will be contaminated truly? |
11323 | Recollect all that has ever passed under your observation; is it compatible with a mind capable of what is now alleged against me? |
11323 | Shall I point my animosity against one, whom the system of nature has brought down to the grave? |
11323 | Shall I poison, with sounds the most intolerable to his ears, the last moments of a man like Falkland? |
11323 | Shall a rascal that farms his forty acres, pretend to beard the lord of the manor? |
11323 | Shall we, who earn our livelihood by generous daring, be indebted for a penny to the vile artifices of the informer? |
11323 | She recollected that she had always been upon her guard respecting me; but had she been sufficiently so? |
11323 | She started, and cried,"Are we discovered? |
11323 | Should I have dared to ask for what reason I was thus subjected to an eternal penance?" |
11323 | Should I have done that if my flight had been that of a thief? |
11323 | Should I wait, and risk the preservation of my liberty upon the issue? |
11323 | So I only asked him what he did that for, and whether he had not more conscience than to spoil people''s crops o''that fashion? |
11323 | So do you hear, sir? |
11323 | Surely he would not refuse me? |
11323 | That Mr. Falkland is a suborner and murderer?" |
11323 | The accused expostulated with their persecutor, and asked him how he could be so barbarous as to persist in frightening a woman? |
11323 | The justice of proclaiming your innocence? |
11323 | The other expressed no marks of resentment, but sullenly answered,"Damn you, why did not you take the edge? |
11323 | The secret struggle of his mind was,"Can this be hypocrisy? |
11323 | Then what would have been the result? |
11323 | There was something in the tone with which this slut uttered her farewell, that suggested the question to Emily,"What does she mean? |
11323 | This story had succeeded with persons already prepossessed in my favour by personal intercourse; but could it succeed with strangers? |
11323 | Though I am a plain, working man, your honour, do you see? |
11323 | To what purpose complain, when his complaints are sure to be received with incredulity? |
11323 | To what purpose serve the restless aspirations of my soul, but to make me, like a frighted bird, beat myself in vain against the enclosure of my cage? |
11323 | To whom shall the unfortunate felon appeal? |
11323 | True; and how many hundreds are there that live from hand to mouth all the days of their life? |
11323 | Upon what pretence did he refuse my deposition? |
11323 | Was I to receive the money which had just been put into my hands? |
11323 | Was I to wait the issue of this my missionary undertaking, or was I to withdraw myself immediately? |
11323 | Was acquittal useless? |
11323 | Was ever mortal so completely the reverse of every thing engrossing and selfish? |
11323 | Was existence more variously endeared to them? |
11323 | Was he like that mysterious being, to protect us from whose fierce revenge mountains and hills, we are told, might fall on us in vain? |
11323 | Was it not dangerous to the whole fraternity if, without the smallest precaution, she should bring the officers of justice in the midst of them? |
11323 | Was it not enough that I was publicly dishonoured? |
11323 | Was it not the inevitable consequence of your own actions?" |
11323 | Was it possible I could have forgotten for a moment the awe- creating manners of Falkland, and the inexorable fury I should awake in his soul? |
11323 | Was it possible that she alluded to that in her parting words? |
11323 | Was it possible that, by any unaccountable accident, they should have got an intimation of my disguise? |
11323 | Was it possible, after all, that Mr. Falkland should be the murderer? |
11323 | Was it wise in him to drive me into extremity and madness? |
11323 | Was not he the common disturber of mankind? |
11323 | Was the world, with all its climates, made in vain for thy helpless unoffending victim? |
11323 | Was there no hope that remained for me? |
11323 | Was there no period, past or in prospect, that could give relief to my sufferings? |
11323 | Was this the life upon which I had entered with such warm and sanguine expectation? |
11323 | Well then, added I, if it be such as would not be admitted at a criminal tribunal, am I sure it is such as I ought to admit? |
11323 | Well, and what did you say to the letter? |
11323 | Well, and what then? |
11323 | Were not those your very words? |
11323 | Were you any way aiding, abetting, or contributing to this murder?" |
11323 | Were you such a fool as to think, because men pay respect to wealth and rank, this would extend to such a deed? |
11323 | What are the material obstacles, that man never subdued? |
11323 | What benefit has ever resulted from my mistaken clemency? |
11323 | What can Mr. Falkland contrive for me worse than the ill opinion and enmity of all mankind?" |
11323 | What chance was there after the purgation I was now suffering, that I should come out acquitted at last? |
11323 | What concern have I with danger and alarm? |
11323 | What could I do? |
11323 | What could I say to such a man as this? |
11323 | What could exceed the horrors of this situation? |
11323 | What do I owe you? |
11323 | What do you mean by that? |
11323 | What do you mean?" |
11323 | What do you tell me of Mr. Falkland? |
11323 | What does this mean? |
11323 | What had I to do with life? |
11323 | What have I done to deserve this treatment? |
11323 | What have I done, that I should deserve to have you for an enemy?" |
11323 | What is it that casts me at such an immense distance below you, as to make every thing that relates to me wholly unworthy of consideration? |
11323 | What is it you know? |
11323 | What is it you mean to do?" |
11323 | What is it you mean?" |
11323 | What is it you propose? |
11323 | What is it you want? |
11323 | What is my offence?" |
11323 | What is the mysterious vengeance that you can yet execute against me? |
11323 | What is the reason, sir, that you seem unthankful and averse to my kindness? |
11323 | What is the undertaking so arduous, that by some has not been accomplished? |
11323 | What is your name-- ha, sirrah? |
11323 | What must he think of this? |
11323 | What must it have been with this complication of ignominy, base, humiliating, and public? |
11323 | What power can cause that man to die, whose whole soul commands him to continue to live?" |
11323 | What power is able to hold in chains a mind ardent and determined? |
11323 | What probability was there that the trial I had endured in the house of Mr. Falkland was not just as fair as any that might be expected to follow? |
11323 | What relief had I from these sensations? |
11323 | What right have you to make a prisoner of me? |
11323 | What should hinder me from taking that of which I was really in want, when, in taking it, I risked no vengeance, and perpetrated no violence? |
11323 | What should make thee inaccessible to my fury? |
11323 | What signifies calling it mine, if I am not to have the direction of it? |
11323 | What sort of a man do you show yourself, you that lay claim to the respect and applause of every one that knows you?" |
11323 | What then can I do? |
11323 | What then? |
11323 | What then? |
11323 | What then?" |
11323 | What though? |
11323 | What use, what advantage, what pleasurable sentiment, could arise from a tame surrender? |
11323 | What was I to do? |
11323 | What was I to infer? |
11323 | What was it she intended? |
11323 | What was my name? |
11323 | What was the nature of this power, from which I was to apprehend so much, yet which seemed to leave me at perfect liberty? |
11323 | What wonder that he took some interest in a mind in a certain degree congenial with his own? |
11323 | What-- dark, mysterious, unfeeling, unrelenting tyrant!--is it come to this? |
11323 | When did I ever contradict it? |
11323 | When did you ever know any body resist my will without being made to repent? |
11323 | When should I derive benefit from these superior advantages, if not at present?" |
11323 | Where did the printer get these stories? |
11323 | Where do you expect to find the hearts of flint that shall sympathise with yours? |
11323 | Where is the equality of that? |
11323 | Where, sir, is that? |
11323 | Which of you is so ignorant as to suppose, that his escape is any confirmation of his guilt? |
11323 | Whither was she gone? |
11323 | Who ever thinks, when he is apprehended for trial, of his innocence or guilt as being at all material to the issue? |
11323 | Who killed her? |
11323 | Who told you that I wished to part with you? |
11323 | Whose orders? |
11323 | Why are all these engines at work to torment me? |
11323 | Why are not you gone? |
11323 | Why bring your messages to me?" |
11323 | Why could not I speak the expostulations of my heart, or propose the compromise I meditated? |
11323 | Why did you not suffer me to depart? |
11323 | Why do I consent to live any longer? |
11323 | Why do I seek to drag on an existence, which, if protracted, must be protracted amidst the lairs of these human tigers?" |
11323 | Why do you trifle with me? |
11323 | Why have we the power of speech, but to communicate our thoughts? |
11323 | Why should I despair? |
11323 | Why should I grieve, for what they bear and are merry? |
11323 | Why should I insist upon such aggravations as hunger, beggary, and external wretchedness? |
11323 | Why should I suffer my mind to be invaded by unavailing regrets? |
11323 | Why should I wait the lingering process of legal despotism, and not dare so much as to die, but when and how its instruments decreed? |
11323 | Why should it be in the power of man to overtake and hold me by violence? |
11323 | Why should not I be as daring as they? |
11323 | Why should we be enemies? |
11323 | Why should we both of us be forced to do what neither of us is inclined to? |
11323 | Why should you consign my youthful hopes to suffering and despair? |
11323 | Why should you refuse a proposition dictated by reason, and an equal regard to the interest of each?" |
11323 | Why then,"exclaimed I, a new train of thought suddenly rushing into my mind,"why should I sustain the contest any longer? |
11323 | Why trouble me with your prophecies and forebodings?" |
11323 | Why was it, that I was once more totally overcome by the imperious carriage of Mr. Falkland, and unable to utter a word? |
11323 | Why were not my sufferings permitted to terminate then, and I allowed to hide my weary head in some obscure yet tranquil retreat? |
11323 | Why, man to man, may I not, by the powers of my mind, attain the ascendancy over him? |
11323 | Why, when I choose to withdraw myself, should I not be capable of eluding the most vigilant search? |
11323 | Why, you ha''n''t been tried, ha''you?" |
11323 | Will it be wise in us to exchange this prospect for the fruits of strife? |
11323 | Will you do that? |
11323 | Will you for so paltry a consideration deliver up the lamb into the jaws of the wolf? |
11323 | With respect to all that was solid, what chance could I find in new exertions of a similar nature? |
11323 | With such a cause then to bear us out, shall we stain it with cruelty, malice, and revenge? |
11323 | With what sensations did I ruminate upon this paper? |
11323 | Would he take upon him to say that he had a right, at his pleasure, to suppress a charge of this complicated nature? |
11323 | Would not a compromise in this situation have been most wise and most secure? |
11323 | Would not this conduct on my part betray a base and abject spirit, that crouched under tyranny, and kissed the hands that were imbrued in my blood? |
11323 | Would she set out upon such an expedition by herself? |
11323 | Would you lay down this rule for yourself, and suffer no other creature to take the benefit of it? |
11323 | Would you strip me naked to the weather in the midst of this depopulated forest? |
11323 | Wretch that you are, will nothing move you? |
11323 | Yet was it likely in that case that he should be able to employ Gines and his associate, who had just been his instruments of violence upon my person? |
11323 | You are bailiffs, are not you? |
11323 | You are not murderers?" |
11323 | You expect every body to turn out of his way, and fetch and carry, just as you please? |
11323 | You have a lease, have you? |
11323 | You have not forgot all the kindness you once had for me?" |
11323 | You knew I was sent to prison, did not you?" |
11323 | You threatened me: did I then betray you? |
11323 | Young as I was, could it be expected that I should play the philosopher, and put a perpetual curb upon my inclinations? |
11323 | Your mother left me a hundred pounds: have you ever offered to make any addition to my fortune? |
11323 | and after this will not you give me a reward?" |
11323 | and from what part of Tipperary are you pleased to come?" |
11323 | and must people in prison be shackled and bound of that fashion?--and where do you lay of nights?" |
11323 | and what may have been the nature of your connection with him?" |
11323 | and whether she often brought him materials of this kind? |
11323 | answered my assailant,"what, I suppose you are as poor as a thief? |
11323 | art thou the offspring, in whom the lineaments of these tyrants are faithfully preserved? |
11323 | can you wish not to hear me? |
11323 | caught with mere outside? |
11323 | choosing the flimsy before the substantial? |
11323 | cried Emily,( this was the appellation she delighted to bestow upon the good housekeeper,)"you can not think so? |
11323 | cried he,"what has brought you here?" |
11323 | did not I hear you speak?" |
11323 | did you think you could do and undo, and change things this way and that, as you pleased?" |
11323 | do you see any of the marks of guilt? |
11323 | exclaimed Emily with surprise;"why should we stop? |
11323 | exclaimed Mrs. Hammond,"what does this mean? |
11323 | have you the heart? |
11323 | have you the impudence to think yourself one of our family?" |
11323 | interrupted I, with a stern voice,"do you betray me into the remorseless fangs of the law, and then talk of my not being hurt? |
11323 | is it come to this? |
11323 | it could not be----? |
11323 | of what age she might be? |
11323 | or had they more numerous methods by which to animate and adorn it? |
11323 | rest you satisfied!--So you want to know by what right you are here, do you? |
11323 | said he, in a voice in which commiseration was sufficiently perceptible,"is this you?" |
11323 | said he, with a tone of the greatest imaginable kindness,"how came you thus?" |
11323 | said he,"do you menace us? |
11323 | said one of the voices;"why should we be murderers?" |
11323 | she exclaimed,"what do you mean to do to me?" |
11323 | that I was deprived, by the pestilential influence of some demon, of the opportunity of avenging my dishonour? |
11323 | the affection that was perpetually in your mouth? |
11323 | was it for this that I took you up, when Mr. Underwood dismissed you for your insolence to him? |
11323 | what do you come here for?" |
11323 | what is man? |
11323 | what light did it throw upon the intentions of my inexorable persecutor? |
11323 | what sort of character is that which must be supported by witnesses? |
11323 | which way can he be gone?" |
11323 | who are you? |
11323 | who brought you up? |
11323 | who had forced the basest and most atrocious falsehoods, and urged them with a seriousness and perseverance which produced universal belief? |
11323 | who is there? |
11323 | who opened the door?" |
11323 | who, an hour before, had vowed against me inexorable enmity, and sworn to entail upon me misery without end? |
12958 | ''And art thou not a married wretch? 12958 ''But what can I do with the little baggage?'' |
12958 | ''Is there no reason, think you,''said I,''to imagine that your acquaintance with me gives her uneasiness? 12958 ''Well, but after all, Sir Simon,''would I say, if I had been in presence at his peevish hour,''you are a fine gentleman, are you not? |
12958 | All in good time, Pamela!--But is this the best appearance you choose to make, to receive such guests? |
12958 | And are you in earnest, Pamela? |
12958 | And do you think, Sir, whether it be so or not, that it is equitable it should be so? |
12958 | And is her ladyship there, or in town? |
12958 | And must I, Sir, speak my mind on such a point, before so many better judges? |
12958 | And what is the result? |
12958 | And who can better instruct us to guard_ our hearts_, than a lady who has so well defended_ her own_? |
12958 | And will you, dearest lady, take under your own immediate protection, the poor unguilty infant? 12958 Are you angry, Widow?" |
12958 | As how, Sir? |
12958 | As how, my dear? |
12958 | Ay, Pamela,said Mr. B.,"what can you say to this? |
12958 | But do you yield it up cheerfully, my dear? |
12958 | But how came Mr. Adams, Polly, to know of this letter? |
12958 | But how can I help it?--Must I not connive at your proceedings, if I do not? 12958 But how does my Pamela? |
12958 | But how, brother baronet,said Sir Charles to Sir Jacob,"came_ you_ to be reconciled to her? |
12958 | But pray, dear Sir, what had you in view in all this? 12958 But then, Madam,"said Miss,"would Profusiana venture to play at public places? |
12958 | But what became of the naughty boys, and the naughty girl, mamma? |
12958 | But what can I do? |
12958 | But why ca n''t you bear with it a little longer, sister? 12958 But will not that be presumptuous, Sir?" |
12958 | But, after all, does happiness to a gentleman, a scholar, a philosopher, rest in a greater or lesser income? 12958 But, say, my Pamela, can you forgive my harshness?" |
12958 | But,said Lady Towers, very satirically,"whither, ladies, are we got? |
12958 | Butt cann you forgive me? 12958 Dear Sir, if I should tell you it is_ not_ Mr. Turner, you''ll guess at somebody else: and what avails all this to the matter in hand? |
12958 | Dear Sir,said I, almost as quick as he was,"why should I be moved? |
12958 | Do I want you, Confidence? 12958 Do n''t the Misses love you now, Miss Goodwin?" |
12958 | Does what I said concern Mr. Martin more than any other gentleman,returned Lady Towers,"that he is disposed to take offence at it?" |
12958 | For myself, what can I say? 12958 Has he given you money?" |
12958 | How came Mr. B.,thought I,"to tell_ you_ that, Madam? |
12958 | How can I enough,returned I, and kissed her hand,"acknowledge your ladyship''s polite goodness in this compliment? |
12958 | How do you do, niece? |
12958 | How dost thou know what wits_ should_ or should_ not_ do? 12958 How often must I chide you for calling me any thing but your Pamela, when we are alone together?" |
12958 | I asked if it were not owing to some alteration in his own temper? 12958 I hope, friend, thou art prepared with a father for the light within thee?" |
12958 | I know it, Polly; and are you not of opinion he loves you a little? |
12958 | I need not dress otherwise than I am? |
12958 | I see( might he not have said? |
12958 | I''ll tell you, truly, Pamela: I said to her,''Well, now your ladyship has seen my Pamela-- Is she not the charmingest girl in the world?'' 12958 I_ am_, and what then?--Must the consequence be crime enough to warrant your jealousy?" |
12958 | Is it not descending too much, my ladies, as to the company? |
12958 | Is that it? 12958 Is this wit?" |
12958 | It is so then? |
12958 | Madam,said he to the countess,"Lord Davers, Lady Davers, do we want any titles, think you, to make us happy but what we can confer upon ourselves?" |
12958 | Mr. Williams, how do you do? |
12958 | Nay, now you talk of treating,said Sir Charles,"when, ladies, will you treat our sex with the politeness which you shew to one another?" |
12958 | O my good lady,said he,"who can forbear following such an example as you set? |
12958 | O, Madam, what can you mean? 12958 Right or wrong, Sir Jacob?" |
12958 | She has; and what then? |
12958 | Sir-- Sir,hesitated I,"as you please-- I can''t-- I ca n''t be displeased--""_ Displeased?_"interrupted he:"why that word? |
12958 | Sir-- Sir,hesitated I,"as you please-- I can''t-- I ca n''t be displeased--""_ Displeased?_"interrupted he:"why that word? |
12958 | So, Pamela!--How do you do now? |
12958 | So, my dear love,says he,"how do you?" |
12958 | That''s very true,replied he:"But would you expect I should give you a_ reason_ for an attempt that appears to you so very shocking?" |
12958 | The very mention of the word, dear Sir, is a security to me; I want no other; I can not doubt: but if you speak short to me, how shall I bear that? |
12958 | Then what occasion have I for it, if that be the case, Madam? |
12958 | Then you do n''t approve of them, Pamela? |
12958 | Then, dear Sir,said I,"must I not be a strange creature? |
12958 | They are certainly in the right-- But were you not a dear perverse creature, to give me all this trouble about your saucy scruples? |
12958 | Upon this, my mother said,''Do n''t you think Pamela writes a pretty hand, son?'' 12958 Was not my girl a little inquisitive upon me just now?" |
12958 | Was the gentleman a man of wit, Madam? 12958 Well, Pamela,"said he, a little seriously,"what say the worthy pair?" |
12958 | Well, but then, Sir, as to the expression to her uncle, that she had rather have been a certain gentleman''s second wife? |
12958 | Well, but then, dear Sir, there is nothing at all amiss, at this rate, in the correspondence between my lady and you? |
12958 | Well, but, mamma, we will all be good:-Won''t we, Master Davers? |
12958 | Well, for my part,said Lady Davers,"thou art a strange girl: where, as my brother once said, gottest thou all this?" |
12958 | Well, my dear,said Mr. B.,"but what would you advise in this case? |
12958 | Well, my strange dear!--But sure your head is a little turned!--What is your question? |
12958 | Well, so, this is your bar, is it? 12958 Well, then, my dearest,"said he,"we will forgive one another? |
12958 | Well; but may I not ask, whether, if the mountain can not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will not come to the mountain? 12958 What a happy thing is it,"thought I,"that good nature generally accompanies this character; else, how would some people be supportable?" |
12958 | What ails the little fool? |
12958 | What answer did my Lord S. make to it? |
12958 | What foolishness is this on both sides!--But are you willing to be released from this bargain? |
12958 | What have I done? 12958 What is your boast, dearest Sir? |
12958 | What is your proposal, my dear? 12958 What mean you, Sir?--Who are you, Sir?--What mean you?" |
12958 | What means all this parade, my dear? 12958 What means my dearest?" |
12958 | What now,with some little impatience,"would the pretty fool be at?" |
12958 | What say_ you_, Sir? |
12958 | What should you be vexed at, my dear? |
12958 | What then, does he pass his time_ with you_, Polly? |
12958 | What''s the matter, my love? |
12958 | What, all this while, is poor Profusiana doing? 12958 What, dost think I shall look through_ his_ foolish eyes? |
12958 | What_ means_ the dear creature? 12958 When, Sir, am I to come upon my trial? |
12958 | Whence this insolence? 12958 Where''s Pamela?" |
12958 | Whether, Sir, the Nun-- I speak boldly; the cause requires it-- who followed you at the Masquerade every where, is not the Countess of--? |
12958 | Who is to be judge of that? |
12958 | Who would not be good? |
12958 | Who''s that? |
12958 | Why have I wept the distresses of the injured Hermione? |
12958 | Why so? |
12958 | Why this,continued the countess,"must be_ born_ dignity--_born_ discretion-- Education can not give it:--if it could, why should not_ we_ have it?" |
12958 | Will not a penitent Nun make a good third with a mournful Widow, and a prim Quaker? |
12958 | Will not my friends be welcome, Pamela? |
12958 | Will you be pleased, Madam, to have a chair? 12958 Will you favour us with your company home, my old acquaintance?" |
12958 | Will you give Master to my arms, one moment, Madam? |
12958 | Will you give me leave, my dear,said he,"to break the seal?" |
12958 | Will you suffer me, Sir, to attend you? 12958 Will your ladyship see him now?" |
12958 | Would you have me dress better? |
12958 | Yet I fancy, Madam, the wind is a little too high for you.--Won''t you catch cold? |
12958 | You answer me not,continued I;"and may I not fairly presume you can not as I wish to be answered? |
12958 | You are ruined if you do!--And I wish-- But tell me, Polly, are you not ruined as it is? |
12958 | You talk to me, my dearest life, as if all you had heard against me was true; and you would have me answer you,( would you?) 12958 You talked, Madam,"said she,"when I saw you before, that I should come and live with you-- Will you let me, Madam? |
12958 | _ There_--and what then? |
12958 | ''And will you,''said I,''ingenuously acquaint me with the issue of your inquiries? |
12958 | ''This is her writing, is it?'' |
12958 | ''Tis not unusual with our vain sex,"observed he,"to construe even reproaches to our advantage,")''is the lady here, whose shackles thou wearest?'' |
12958 | ''s hands, since you have such testimonies,_ both_ of you, of the rectitude of her thinking and acting?" |
12958 | ''s in this particular? |
12958 | ''s place in her absence?" |
12958 | ( for I honour the slut with too much of my notice),"Where''s Polly?" |
12958 | ( who is since dead), I could not but notice her fondness for her, and said,''What do you design, Madam, to do_ with_ or_ for_, this Pamela of yours? |
12958 | ( who knows?) |
12958 | ),"let me offer but one thing: do n''t you think Sir Simon himself would be loth to be thought a reformed gentleman? |
12958 | --"And what could he say?" |
12958 | --"Are they so?" |
12958 | --"As how?--As what?--In what way?--How faulty?" |
12958 | --"But where,"said Lady Davers,"collectedst thou all this good sense, and fine spirit in thy devotion?" |
12958 | --"Do I, Sir?" |
12958 | --"Dost thou,"said she,"hate shackles? |
12958 | --"For what, Lady Davers?" |
12958 | --"For what, Madam? |
12958 | --"I had consented--"--"To what?" |
12958 | --"I hope not too, Polly!--But you know he was free enough with you, to make you say''_ Fie!_''And what might have been the case, who knows? |
12958 | --"No, Madam, but--"--"But what?--Say, but what?" |
12958 | --"Or in me?" |
12958 | --"Rather,"whispered she,"what is become of the Spaniard?" |
12958 | --"Well pray, Sir, go on.--What was next?" |
12958 | --"Well then, shall I go up, and oblige Pamela to sup by herself, and persuade Lady Jenny to come down to us?" |
12958 | --"What is it I hear? |
12958 | --"What proposals?" |
12958 | --"Why, dost believe, Goodman Andrews,"said he,"that I would do such a thing? |
12958 | --"With all my heart, Madam,"replied Mr. Williams;"and I shall be proud of such a direction,"--"What say_ you_, brother? |
12958 | --"With all my heart,"replied he.--"But, uncle,"said Mr. B.,"have you really no desire, no curiosity to see the girl I have married?" |
12958 | --"With me, Sir Jacob?" |
12958 | --"Yet, what is that virtue,"said the dean,"which can not stand the test?" |
12958 | --"You speak to your knowledge, I doubt not, Sir Jacob?" |
12958 | --''Is it not?'' |
12958 | --(Did she say?) |
12958 | --For just then, the chariot brought me into the court- yard--"Who''s this? |
12958 | --Lady Davers then turning herself to Mrs. Jervis--"How do you, good woman?" |
12958 | --She was silent.--"Tell me, Polly( for I am really greatly concerned for you), what you think_ yourself_; do you_ hope_ he will marry you?" |
12958 | --She was silent.--"Tell me, Polly, if he does?" |
12958 | --Was not this, my ladies, a triumph of triumphs to the late miserable, now exalted, Pamela!--could I do less than pardon her? |
12958 | --could resolve as she resolved, and act as she acted? |
12958 | Again and again, I say( for what can I say else or more-- since I ca n''t find words to speak all I think? |
12958 | All her courtship was sometimes a hasty snatch of the hand, a black and blue gripe of the arm, and--"Whither now?" |
12958 | All my resolution fails me; what shall I do? |
12958 | And I rung and rung, and"Where''s Polly?" |
12958 | And I was getting away as fast as I could: but he arose and took my hand,"Why is my charmer so soon frightened?" |
12958 | And being told, came up to me:--"What ails the good woman below, my dear?" |
12958 | And can we propose ourselves, for the government of our children, a better example than that of the Creator? |
12958 | And did her ladyship so answer?" |
12958 | And do n''t you remember, when we were at Bath, in what a hurry I once passed by some knots of genteel people, and you asked what those were doing? |
12958 | And having declared that I did so, was I not to shew the sincerity of my declaration? |
12958 | And how could I forbear repeating these kind things to you, that you may see how well every thing is taken that you do? |
12958 | And how did she bring it about?" |
12958 | And if the dear gentleman had two or three thousand less, might he be less happy on that account? |
12958 | And if you had intended to have gone without taking leave of me?" |
12958 | And is it so great a praise, that you think fit to own for a sister so deserving a girl as this, whom I take pride in calling my wife?" |
12958 | And let us know your opinion, whether my brother himself does right, to comply with such an unreasonable distaste?" |
12958 | And now, my dear parents, do you not rejoice with me in this charming, charming appearance? |
12958 | And rising up--"Will you excuse me, Sir, that I can not attend at all to such a subject as this? |
12958 | And should you care to try? |
12958 | And so we shew how little we deserve what we have been so long coveting; and yet covet on: for what? |
12958 | And then looking up at his face, and down at his feet, three or four times successively,"Are you my brother''s son? |
12958 | And what did you design should come of it?" |
12958 | And what do you think the free gentleman said upon it? |
12958 | And what have_ you_ to do but to rejoice? |
12958 | And what is the instruction that can be gathered from such pieces, for the conduct of common life? |
12958 | And what is the_ honour_ you swear by? |
12958 | And what punishment does not such a seducer deserve?" |
12958 | And what was the consequence? |
12958 | And when once I asked myself, to what this conversation might tend at last? |
12958 | And where''s your lord? |
12958 | And who can then be so blest as your Pamela? |
12958 | And why should it not be so? |
12958 | And why this wry face? |
12958 | And will it be right then to say, you are uneasy under such( at least as to your wills) returned and discharged obligations? |
12958 | And will ladies so disgrace their characters, and their sex, as to pursue this pernicious diversion in public?" |
12958 | And will not the man of_ mind_ bestow his principal care in improving that mind? |
12958 | And wo n''t that be an ugly foible overcome? |
12958 | Are you not?" |
12958 | At last, up he got, and swore a sad oath:"And am I thus tricked and bamboozled,"that was his word;"am I? |
12958 | B. come up again? |
12958 | B. said,"Why are you not full- dressed, my dear?" |
12958 | B.--"O why,"as Deborah makes the mother of Sisera say,"is his chariot so long in coming? |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | Believing the Countess was desirous of being alone with me, I said,"My dear Miss Goodwin, wo n''t you go to your little nursery, my love?" |
12958 | But Achilles could be touched only in his heel; and if he was to die by an enemy''s hands, must not the arrow find out that only vulnerable place? |
12958 | But I have no notion of_ mere_ formalities of this kind"--(How unpolite this, my dear, in your friend?) |
12958 | But after a pause, she said,"Well, then, brother, will you let Pamela decide upon this point?" |
12958 | But are we not all apt to argue for a practice we make our own, because we_ do_ make it our own, rather than from the reason of the thing?" |
12958 | But ca n''t we talk of any other subject? |
12958 | But did she not ask you who you were?" |
12958 | But do n''t you observe what a dear good lady I had? |
12958 | But do you think I will call all these things my own?--Do you think I would live rent- free? |
12958 | But does Mr. B. think it must be so in_ every_ matrimony? |
12958 | But hark- ye- me, my sweet girl, what have I done, that you wo n''t write yourself_ sister_ to me? |
12958 | But have you no other objection, if one could find a genteely- descended young Master? |
12958 | But if she has been accustomed to grant him little favours, can she easily recal them? |
12958 | But is such a Narcissus!--But this between ourselves, for his uncle is wrapt up in the fellow-- And why? |
12958 | But pray, Sir, may I ask, what have you determined to do?" |
12958 | But pray, Sir, what is the earl''s living valued at?" |
12958 | But tell me what you would say? |
12958 | But tell me, truly, Pamela, are you not a little sullen? |
12958 | But tell me, what you think of''em?" |
12958 | But this I see plainly, that he will have his own way; and if I can not get over my scruples, what shall I do? |
12958 | But what a preamble is here? |
12958 | But what are the princes of the earth, look at them in every nation, and what they have been for ages past, compared to this lady? |
12958 | But what can I do? |
12958 | But what foolishness is this!--What consideration has he made you?" |
12958 | But what shall we say? |
12958 | But what will become of the naughty boys? |
12958 | But what, pray, Mr. Williams, do you propose to allow to your curate? |
12958 | But where is such a gentleman as Mr. B. to be met with? |
12958 | But who knows, when the time comes, whether it may not be proper to dispense with this duty, as you deem it, on other accounts? |
12958 | But who was your_ first_ informant?--Was that by letter or personally? |
12958 | But will you pardon me, if I ask, whither you go so soon? |
12958 | But wo n''t you oblige me with the sequel of your letter to your father? |
12958 | But you next require of me an instance, where, in complaisance to_ my_ will, he has receded from_ his own?_ I do n''t know what to say to this. |
12958 | But, dear Sir, will you be pleased, to satisfy me about that affecting information, of your intention and my lady''s to live at Tunbridge together?" |
12958 | But, indeed, how should she? |
12958 | But, my dear friend, are you not in danger of falling into a too thoughtful and gloomy way? |
12958 | But, would you believe it, Sir Simon? |
12958 | But-- but--"staring at me,"Are you married, Madam?" |
12958 | Can I have a will that is not his? |
12958 | Can not you defend me from this charge? |
12958 | Can people merit by doing their duty? |
12958 | Can the affections be so highly raised as mine are on these occasions, and the thoughts creep grovelling like one''s ordinary self? |
12958 | Can the gluttonous father expect a self- denying son? |
12958 | Can the profuse father, who is squandering away the fortunes of his children, expect to be regarded in a lesson of frugality? |
12958 | Colbrand?" |
12958 | Could you ever have thought, my dear, that husbands have a dispensing power over their wives, which kings are not allowed over the laws? |
12958 | Did he not look displeased? |
12958 | Did she go my way? |
12958 | Did you intend to carry this matter, at first, as far as ever you could?" |
12958 | Did you not disdain me at that moment?" |
12958 | Did you think that could be? |
12958 | Do n''t you know how much I interest myself in every thing that makes for my brother''s happiness and your''s? |
12958 | Do n''t you remember it, dear Sir? |
12958 | Do n''t you see his delight, when speaking of his former pranks, as if sorry he could not play them over again? |
12958 | Do n''t you think me, my dear, insufferably vain? |
12958 | Do these instances come up to your questions, my dear? |
12958 | Do they come up to your first question? |
12958 | Do you ever hear Miss Goodwin say a naughty word? |
12958 | Do you think I can bear to hear my friend so freely treated?" |
12958 | Do you think I did not look very silly? |
12958 | Do you think they do?--And if you hope to emulate my good fortune, do you think_ this_ is the way?" |
12958 | Do, dear Miss, be so free as to forbid me to send you any more long journals, but common letters only, of how you do? |
12958 | Does any thing provoke you_ now_"( with a sly leer and affected drawl)"that did not_ formerly?_""Provoke me!--What should provoke me? |
12958 | Does any thing provoke you_ now_"( with a sly leer and affected drawl)"that did not_ formerly?_""Provoke me!--What should provoke me? |
12958 | Does he pretend that he will marry you?" |
12958 | Does not God himself, by rewards and punishments, make it our interest, as well as our duty, to obey him? |
12958 | Does not this shew, that her virtue has made her more conspicuous than my fortune has made me? |
12958 | Else how would it have been forgiveness? |
12958 | For he will have me then reveal my intelligencer: and what may be the case between them? |
12958 | For how, when you, and my good ladies, are continually giving me such charming examples, can I do a wrong thing?" |
12958 | For is it not a sad thing, that the church should be profaned by such actions, and such thoughts, as ought not to be brought into it? |
12958 | For must they not have implements to work with? |
12958 | For since such is your will, and seem to be your engagements, what avails it to me to oppose them? |
12958 | For what may not be feared from so early inculcating the use of dice and gaming, upon the minds of children? |
12958 | For when the mind is elevated, ought not the sense we have of our happiness to make our expressions soar equally? |
12958 | For, dear Sir, is there no doubt, that the tutor should lay himself open to the aversion of the child, whose manners he is to form? |
12958 | From two such extremes, how was it possible I could presently hit the medium? |
12958 | Go to, honest heart, I love thee dearly; but can Mr. B. do too much for his lady, think''st thou? |
12958 | H.?" |
12958 | Has not the Countess taken a house or lodgings at Tunbridge?" |
12958 | Hast thou nothing at all to say for thyself?" |
12958 | Have you any notion, that your lady will have so much power over us?" |
12958 | Have you forgot that?" |
12958 | Have you got her mother with you? |
12958 | He gave me a gentle tap on the neck:"Let me beat my beloved sauce- box,"said he:"is it thus you rally my watchful care over you for your own good? |
12958 | He looked at me with sternness,"Do you doubt my honour, Madam?" |
12958 | He says, that he_ must_, and therefore he_ will_ be virtuous: and is a man for ever to hear the faults of his youth, when so willing to forget them?" |
12958 | He smiled, and said,"Would you, my good Miss Darnford, look so silly, after such a length of time, with a husband you need not be ashamed of?" |
12958 | He was pleased to ask me, when they were gone, how I liked his two lawyers? |
12958 | Hold him fast, and play over all thy monkey tricks with him, with all my heart; who knows but it may engage him more? |
12958 | How happy shall we be!--But how long will you be permitted to stay, though? |
12958 | How know you, but he has found a way to your wife''s ear, as he has done to my uncle''s, and to all my friends''? |
12958 | How shall I acknowledge your inexpressible goodness to me? |
12958 | How should_ she_ be able to reflect, who knows not what reflection is, except of the spiteful sort? |
12958 | How will a parent, whose hands are seldom without cards, or dice in them, be observed in lessons against the pernicious vice of gaming? |
12958 | How, in a word, shall_ they_ come by their knowledge? |
12958 | I asked, if I might not be excused writing, only making my observations, here and there, to himself, as I found occasion? |
12958 | I began as follows:"Will you be pleased, Sir, to favour me with the continuation of our last subject?" |
12958 | I believe you did feel the weight of my hand: but what was that? |
12958 | I bowed my head to the Countess; but my tears being ready to start, I kissed my Billy:"Dearest baby,"said I,"you are not going to cry, are you?" |
12958 | I doubt not, you are soon to return to Tunbridge?" |
12958 | I fear you have sprained your foot.--Shall I help you to a chair?" |
12958 | I had them in my pocket, and read them to my lady; who asked me, if her brother had seen them? |
12958 | I hope you have a better opinion of me than--""Than what, Pamela?--What would you say? |
12958 | I hope, niece, he locks up his baby, while you''re here? |
12958 | I looked, it seems, a little grave; and Mr. B. said,"What have you to offer, Pamela?--What have I said amiss?" |
12958 | I might have been_ drawne__ in_ to do strange foolish things, and been ruin''d at the long run; for who knows where this thing mought have ended? |
12958 | I never saw one before though, in Mr. H.--What''s the matter, Sir?" |
12958 | I repeat my demand: shall it be as Mrs. B. lays it out, or not?" |
12958 | I said softly,"Dear Miss Darnford"( for Mr. B. and the Nun were out of sight in a moment),"what is become of that Nun?" |
12958 | I shall never forget your looks, nor your words neither!--they were severe speeches, were they not, Sir?" |
12958 | I took the charmer in my arms, and kissed her three or four times, as she deserved; for was not this very pretty in the child? |
12958 | I''ll-- But who comes here?" |
12958 | If I were as good as I_ ought_ to be, and as some_ think_ me, must they wish to make me bad for that reason?" |
12958 | If my Pamela is safe, the boy is welcome, welcome, indeed!--But when may I go up to thank my jewel?" |
12958 | If the fountain- head be polluted, how shall the under- currents run clear? |
12958 | If this goodness makes him know no mean in giving, shall I be so greedy as to know none in receiving? |
12958 | If this, Sir, be the case, does not this excellent author recommend a scheme that is rendered in a manner impracticable from this difficulty? |
12958 | If you might not be uneasy at our acquaintance, and at his frequent absence from you, and the like? |
12958 | Is it for this? |
12958 | Is it not a proof of weakness? |
12958 | Is it not a random shot? |
12958 | Is it''cause thou''rt affected_ most_ with thy own case? |
12958 | Is it?" |
12958 | Is not such a poor creature to be pitied? |
12958 | Is_ she_ like to do well?" |
12958 | Is_ she_ safe? |
12958 | It has been an expence to you rather, which you will not presently get up: do you propose an early marriage, Sir? |
12958 | Jervis asked me on Saturday evening, if I would be concerned to see a larger congregation in the lesser hall next morning than usual? |
12958 | Jervis?" |
12958 | Jervis?" |
12958 | Jervis?'' |
12958 | LETTER LXIX Why do n''t I subscribe Sister? |
12958 | LETTER LXVIII Why does not my sweet girl subscribe_ Sister_, as usual? |
12958 | LETTER V MY DEAREST DAUGHTER, How shall I do to answer, as they deserve, your two last letters? |
12958 | LETTER X_ From the same._ And so, Pamela, you are solicitous to know, if the gentlemen have seen every part of your papers? |
12958 | Lady Davers keeps me in countenance in this my notion; and who doubts her politeness? |
12958 | Longman?" |
12958 | Lord Davers-- what merit_ would_ you assume? |
12958 | Madam, I could speak any one distinct sentence? |
12958 | Madam--_ought_ I-- if this be the case? |
12958 | Madam.--But where''s my nephew, Lady Davers? |
12958 | May I not know your subject?" |
12958 | May we hope to be favoured now and then with a letter from you, my dear child, like some of your former, to let us know how you go on? |
12958 | Miss Darnford was addressed by the name of the Sprightly Widow: another asked, how long she intended to wear those weeds? |
12958 | Mr. B. asks me how I relish Mr. Locke''s_ Treatise on Education_? |
12958 | Mr. B. coming up just as I had concluded my letter, asked me what was my subject? |
12958 | Mr. B. looked as if he still expected I should say something.--"Won''t you, Sir, dispense with me?" |
12958 | Mr. B. said,"Observe you not, Lady Davers, that you used a word( to avoid that) which had twice the hissing in it that_ sister_ has? |
12958 | Mr. B. said,"Wo n''t it be better to sit over- against her, uncle?" |
12958 | Mr. H. putting his handkerchief to his eyes, his aunt said,"What''s the matter, Jackey?" |
12958 | Mrs. B. reflects upon me for making her blush formerly, and saying things before my daughters, that, truly, I ought to be ashamed of? |
12958 | Must not such a lady as this, dear Madam, have as much merit as many even of those, who, having not had her temptations, have not fallen? |
12958 | My Lady Davers followed us:"Where is my angelic sister?" |
12958 | My Lord Davers sat next me, and Sir Jacob said,"Shall I beg a favour of you, my lord, to let me sit next to Lady Jenny?" |
12958 | My brother was not disturbed at them, was he?" |
12958 | No, to what purpose should I speak? |
12958 | O Mores!_ What will this world come to?" |
12958 | O my dear parents, how can you, as in your_ postscript_, say,"May we not be_ favoured_ now- and- then with a letter?" |
12958 | O when shall I see you? |
12958 | O, my dear, these gentlemen are strange creatures!--What can they think of themselves? |
12958 | Of such a prerogative in a husband? |
12958 | On the contrary, is it not oftener to be found in a happy competency or mediocrity? |
12958 | Or did you intend to induce him to go to town with us?" |
12958 | Or is it, that thy hour is not yet come?" |
12958 | Or is not what I have said, a full answer, were I to say no more, to_ all_ your enquiries? |
12958 | Or were it not better to suspend your intentions of that sort for a year or two more?" |
12958 | Or what words shall be found to embody air? |
12958 | Or would it be excusable if I_ had?_ All little matters I cheerfully give up: great ones have not yet occurred between us, and I hope never will. |
12958 | Or,''Why should Sally have this or that, any more than I?'' |
12958 | Pray, Madam"( to me),"have you ever been at all conversant in such writers?" |
12958 | Pray-- have you shewn Jewkes''s letter to your good friend?--Lady Betty wants to know( if you_ have_) what he could say to it? |
12958 | Put on an angrier brow, or how shall I retain my purpose? |
12958 | See you not,"and I pressed his hand with my lips,"they are all gone already?" |
12958 | Shall I call her in?'' |
12958 | Shall I engage her to visit you? |
12958 | Shall I present you with a curiosity? |
12958 | Shall such a girl as this awe me by her rigid virtue? |
12958 | She asked me, pretty dear, just now, If I think there is such a happy girl in the world as she is? |
12958 | She returned, with an affected laugh,"Smartly said!--But art thou come hither, friend, to make thy light shine before men or women?" |
12958 | She says you can play on the harpsichord, and sing too; will you let a body have a tune or so? |
12958 | Sir, dispense with me on this occasion? |
12958 | Sir, what then was there on_ your_ side, in that matter, that made you give me so patient and so kind a hearing?" |
12958 | Sir, you had rather it were a girl than a boy?" |
12958 | Sir; it is you that part with me: and tell me, Sir, tell me but what you had intended should become of me?" |
12958 | Sir? |
12958 | Sir? |
12958 | Sir?" |
12958 | Sir?" |
12958 | Suppose my dear Mr. B. had five thousand pounds a year added to his present large income, would that increase his happiness? |
12958 | Tell me, how it is possible for me, in my situation, to avoid it?" |
12958 | That is to say, how a young lady ought to guard against and overcome the first favourable impressions?" |
12958 | That it would add to his cares, is no question; but could it give him one single comfort which he has not already? |
12958 | The business is, if Miss Darnford could love him well enough for a husband? |
12958 | The gentlemen laughed:"Is it shooting flying, Sir Jacob,"returned Sir Charles,"to praise that lady?" |
12958 | Then she must make a brighter appearance by far, and a more pleasing one too: for why? |
12958 | Then why this complaining? |
12958 | They are all living, I hope?" |
12958 | They have taken their house, I suppose: but what need they, when they''ll have one in Bedfordshire, and one in Lincolnshire? |
12958 | This frighted them both: Mr. H. swore, and said,"Who can that be?--Your lady''s gone with them, is n''t she?" |
12958 | This is it: I put it in my bosom, when he came up: he saw me do so:"Are you writing, my dear, what I must not see?" |
12958 | Thou married to a lord, and thy brother to a-- Can''st tell me what, Barbara? |
12958 | Thus( could your ladyship have thought it?) |
12958 | To whom were you directing your favours now? |
12958 | Towers,"may one ask, what particular subject was at this time your employment?" |
12958 | Towers,"whenever you censure any indiscretion, you seldom fail to give cautions how to avoid it; and pray let us know what is to be done in this case? |
12958 | Upon which my lady said, a little tartly,"Yes, and for a very good reason, I doubt not; for who cares to condemn himself?" |
12958 | Was the lady a woman of taste?" |
12958 | We being alone, after supper, I took the liberty to ask him, who was of his party to Oxford? |
12958 | Well, but what shall I say more? |
12958 | What a plague has this little witch done to you all? |
12958 | What ails you, Pamela?" |
12958 | What are they, my lord?" |
12958 | What can one do?--Did you ever hear of such a notion, before? |
12958 | What can one say to all things? |
12958 | What can two such ladies write, that I may not see?" |
12958 | What do you see of freedom in me?" |
12958 | What have I said now?" |
12958 | What made me such a fool, I wonder? |
12958 | What means that heaving sob? |
12958 | What new thing shall I have?" |
12958 | What occasion is there for it? |
12958 | What say you to these things, my dear? |
12958 | What think you, Mr. B.? |
12958 | What vexes me is, that when the noble uncle of this vile lady--(why do n''t you call her so as well as I?) |
12958 | What would I not do, in short, to procure to myself the inexpressible pleasure that I should have in your company and conversation? |
12958 | What would_ you_ advise, my dear?" |
12958 | What, I say, had I to do, to take upon me lady- airs, and to resent? |
12958 | What, I warrant, you would not be too much beholden to his honour, would you?" |
12958 | What, and make you cry''_ Fie!_''-or do you intend to trust your honour to his mercy, rather than to your own discretion?" |
12958 | What, indeed, does not such a deceiver deserve?" |
12958 | What, may I ask, came next? |
12958 | What_ can_ I say for Polly Barlow? |
12958 | What_ means my_ Pamela? |
12958 | When Mr. B. is all tenderness and indulgence, and requires of me nothing, that I can have a material objection to, ought I_ not_ to oblige him? |
12958 | Where have you been these two hours, that you never came near me, when you knew''twas my time to have my foot rubbed, which gives me mortal pain?" |
12958 | Which side are you of?" |
12958 | Who knows but we may find out some cousin or friend of Mr. Murray''s between us, that we may persuade to address you? |
12958 | Who''s housekeeper now? |
12958 | Who, that knows these things of him, would wish him to be hers, with all his advantages of person, mind, and fortune?" |
12958 | Why should I thus sadden all your gaudy prospects? |
12958 | Why starts this precious pearl?" |
12958 | Why tarry the wheels of his chariot?" |
12958 | Why the plague,"whispered he,"could you not have pitched your tent here? |
12958 | Why the word_ foolish_, aunt? |
12958 | Why then all this emotion?" |
12958 | Why, she is not to sit at table, is she? |
12958 | Will ladies game, Madam? |
12958 | Will my dear papa grant it, do you think, if you were to lay the highest obligation upon your dutiful daughter, and petition for me? |
12958 | Will that please you, Sir?" |
12958 | Will this instance, my dear, come up to your demand for one, where he recedes from his own will, in complaisance to mine? |
12958 | Will you excuse me, my dear, all this seeming vanity, for the sake of repeating exactly what passed? |
12958 | Will you excuse me, my dear? |
12958 | With how ill a grace must a man who will often be disguised in liquor, preach sobriety? |
12958 | Wo n''t it look like intolerable vanity in me, to find fault with such a genius as Mr. Locke? |
12958 | Wo n''t there be a fine twinkling and sparkling, think you, when the greater and lesser bear- stars are joined together? |
12958 | Would Miss Goodwin, think you, have done so or so?" |
12958 | Would he not have thought the humble cottager as capable of insolence, and vengeance too, in her turn, as the better born? |
12958 | Would it not be inevitable ruin to her to leave me? |
12958 | Would not his honour think if I hid one thing from him, I might hide another? |
12958 | Would you care to subscribe to it? |
12958 | Writing, I dare say? |
12958 | Yet what could he have done? |
12958 | Yet, how much better is it to suffer one''s self, than to be the cause of another''s sufferings? |
12958 | You are to suppose the living in your own hands again; will you leave the whole matter to my_ sister_ here?" |
12958 | You desire to know, my honoured papa, how Mr. B. passes his time, and whether it be in his lady''s chamber? |
12958 | You do n''t keep her company, do you?" |
12958 | You have had instances of the vile arts of men against poor maidens: have you any notion that Mr. H. intends to do honourably by you?" |
12958 | You''re the Countess of C.''s youngest daughter Jenny-- That''s your cue."--"Ah? |
12958 | _ Am_ I mistaken?" |
12958 | _ Common decency_, did you say? |
12958 | a passionate man, patience? |
12958 | added he:"Have you not a son worthy of such an alliance?" |
12958 | an irreligious man, piety? |
12958 | and that she wanted but the power, to shew the like unrelenting temper, by which she had so grievously suffered? |
12958 | and where the pleasure each seemed to take in the other''s, might possibly end? |
12958 | and whether you expected an answer from me to your last? |
12958 | and why that hesitation in your answer? |
12958 | as you do, what ails Mrs. Jervis? |
12958 | but tell me, who will part with their child, think you? |
12958 | coming to me, and folding me in his arms over the chair''s back, the seat of which supported my trembling knees,"Can you so easily part with me?" |
12958 | did I betray any impatience of speech or action, or any discomposure? |
12958 | fear you not an instant punishment for this appeal? |
12958 | goes?" |
12958 | hadst thou been born a fool, or a raw greenhead, or a doating greyhead--"--"What then, Sir Jacob?" |
12958 | how can you speak such a word? |
12958 | let it take its course!--How barbarously, methinks, I speak!--He ought to_ feel_ the lash, first, because he_ deserves_ it, poor little soul? |
12958 | might I not well be grave, knowing what I knew?) |
12958 | my dear lady, what could I do? |
12958 | my dear,"said I;"what is beauty, if she be not a good girl? |
12958 | my dear,"said he,"no papa and mamma!--Did they not send you a pretty black boy to wait upon you, a while ago? |
12958 | or do they not? |
12958 | rob me of heaven too? |
12958 | said I;"and is it thus, by_ repeating_ your fault, that you_ atone_ for it? |
12958 | said he, and stamped--"Who can choose but bless you? |
12958 | said he:"I hope you and she have had no words?" |
12958 | said she,''whither can she go, to be so happy as with me? |
12958 | said she:"how could you help it? |
12958 | said the silly girl--"yet that was like her voice!--Me''m, are you in your closet, Me''m?" |
12958 | that I should have been what I am?" |
12958 | we condemn every man who dresses well, and is not a sloven, as a fop or a coxcomb?" |
12958 | what wilt thou do? |
12958 | whistled he, with a wild stare:"and how is it with you, youngster?" |
12958 | who is she?" |
