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