32226 | And shall I see you among the maidens of the Princess when I present myself before her? |
32226 | And what has our Prince of Wanderers chosen? |
32226 | And you, Sea- child, want some one to love you? 32226 Ay, why not? |
32226 | But you will come again to the garden? |
32226 | Do you not know that this is the garden of a Princess, who allows no one to visit it between dusk and the third hour after sunrise? |
32226 | Gil, Gil, tell me how this can be? |
32226 | Gil, what do you mean? |
32226 | How now, must I return to the dungeon as a criminal? |
32226 | How should one not be kind and love them dearly? 32226 How well does Joyeuse know the heart of Fleurette?" |
32226 | How would you like a change? |
32226 | Must all their practice be wasted? |
32226 | O Wise Man, if a princess gave him these titles, is he indeed a prince? |
32226 | Perhaps it was the Holy Child Himself, who knows? 32226 Say, may I not then hope to be the doctor of the Princess?" |
32226 | Then I need not go back to that other home,said Jan,"that home where I am hated?" |
32226 | Then shall I never see him again, wise Bird? |
32226 | Then to- morrow you will come? 32226 Was he so happy, then, in his sea- home? |
32226 | What dost thou hear, old dog? |
32226 | What have you to say in reply to this Prince''s word? |
32226 | What is a change? |
32226 | What is a lesson? |
32226 | What is it? 32226 What is the matter, little one?" |
32226 | What was that? |
32226 | Which one of them has her heart? 32226 Whom have we here, good Gardener?" |
32226 | Why not? 32226 Why was it not a fair race, brother?" |
32226 | Will you go home to your sea- mother, the beautiful Mermaid? |
32226 | Would she be so very angry? |
32226 | Would you make a good brother to him? |
32226 | You are lonely, old fellow, are you not? |
32226 | You are then of another country? 32226 You know where he is? |
32226 | You, land- boy Gil,he said,"you want a little brother, do you not?" |
32226 | And for that matter, pretty maiden, are not you, too, a trespasser at this early hour? |
32226 | And when he had finished he said,--"Well, dear maiden, do you think I am worthy to be your lady''s minstrel? |
32226 | And you first, Prince Fortemain-- how have you selected? |
32226 | Are you often so kind to poor lost birds?" |
32226 | Are you without there?" |
32226 | But Gil soon decided to follow him and see what would happen, for who could tell what the Stork''s mysterious words might mean? |
32226 | But how do you know, little Stranger? |
32226 | But tell me now, how do you come here, dear boy? |
32226 | But tell me, dear Stork, will he not be my own little Sea- child again? |
32226 | But why would He not enter? |
32226 | Did you love him and care for him very dearly?" |
32226 | Did you set a sheaf of wheat for the birds on Christmas Eve?" |
32226 | Does not that make me a prince indeed?" |
32226 | For what was he bred a snow- dog upon the mountains if a storm like this be danger to him? |
32226 | Gil, Gil, what could it have been? |
32226 | Gil, could it have been a Mermaid who touched me and seemed to pull me down as if to keep me under the water forever? |
32226 | Had she not thrice called him a Prince? |
32226 | Have I not guessed aright?" |
32226 | Have I the skill to make her happy?" |
32226 | Have you found the flower of my heart? |
32226 | Have you guessed my secret choice, and are you therefore to be my very ownest Prince?" |
32226 | He would throw his arm about his brother''s shoulder, saying,--"What strange thing is it, brother, that the old sea does to me? |
32226 | Her favorite flower-- was it not the morning- glory? |
32226 | How came you here?" |
32226 | How did you see?" |
32226 | Meantime what had become of the Sea- baby''s forgotten mother? |
32226 | My real home is not upon the shore?" |
32226 | Oh, is he unhappy?" |
32226 | Oh, what shall I do? |
32226 | Promise that you will be here to- morrow morning early, to play with me for a little while?" |
32226 | Tell me what you think it means?" |
32226 | Tell me, dear Stork, is he not indeed my own?" |
32226 | Tell me, is it not so?" |
32226 | The Princess looked long at Joyeuse, and at last she said:"How do I know what manner of minstrel you are? |
32226 | The church would be closed and the Curé gone home before Pierre could reach it; and then what should he do? |
32226 | What did he care about anything now, since Gil hated him so much that he could tell that story? |
32226 | What did she mean?" |
32226 | What do you mean?" |
32226 | What is the matter?" |
32226 | What use to sigh for that which can not be? |
32226 | What was the pretty Mermaid doing in her home under the waves? |
32226 | What was to be done? |
32226 | Where are all the Christmas candle- lights? |
32226 | Who is there?" |
32226 | Who knows but that Prince at home happily guarding Pierre''s snow- wet old shoes-- who knows but that Prince was dreaming the happiest dream of all? |
32226 | Why are you not in that happy home this stormy night, once more making the Lord''s creatures happy?" |
32226 | Why did you open the door, Bettine?" |
32226 | Why had they never thought of this before? |
32226 | Why, Josef? |
32226 | Why-- has the little Stranger come once more?" |
32226 | Will you be so good as to come with me?" |
32226 | Would that please you, little flower?" |
32226 | You are soon to go away?" |
32226 | You are the same who tossed a bone to the limping dog and made him a bed in the stable? |
32226 | You set the sheaf of wheat for the snowbirds, and they lighted upon your hands and shoulders and kissed your lips in gratitude? |
32226 | You stroked the noses of the ox and the ass and said gentle things to them, because they were the first friends of the little Jesus? |
32226 | You will bring him back to me? |
32226 | [ Illustration: UNTIL HELP COMES]"Whither, oh, whither?" |
32226 | [ Illustration: YOU WILL BRING HIM BACK TO ME?] |
32226 | they said,"we shall have two little Blowers in the family,--perhaps a flute and a trombone; perhaps a cornet and a fife,--who knows?" |
51263 | All ready? |
51263 | All ready? |
51263 | And s''pose we got afloat on the ocean,said Trot,"where would we drift to, and how long would it take us to get there?" |
51263 | And where is Jinxland, please? |
51263 | And who may the Princess Gloria be? |
51263 | Are n''t they dreadful creatures, all covered with feathers? |
51263 | Are n''t you afraid? |
51263 | Are you certain this is snow? |
51263 | Are you going to land? |
51263 | Are you strong enough to carry us? |
51263 | Are you very busy just now? |
51263 | Brains working? |
51263 | But I wonder if we can find something to eat in this place? |
51263 | But how? |
51263 | But tell us, Pon, who was Gloria''s father? |
51263 | But what is an Ork? |
51263 | But what''ll we do with King Krewl? 51263 But where''s Button- Bright?" |
51263 | But who is that old woman who is running toward us and shaking her stick at us? |
51263 | Ca n''t we help them in any way? |
51263 | Ca n''t you fly along? |
51263 | Ca n''t you get another one? |
51263 | Ca n''t you like even me? |
51263 | Ca n''t you see you are obstructing my view? |
51263 | Can I do anything? |
51263 | Can you destroy the love of Princess Gloria for the gardener''s boy? |
51263 | Can you find your way back home again? |
51263 | Can you give molasses? |
51263 | Corns? 51263 Could n''t we walk without a light?" |
51263 | Could she do that? |
51263 | Did n''t I tell you winter was coming? 51263 Did she, really?" |
51263 | Did the river make a bend, after the waterfall? |
51263 | Did you ever hear of Jinxland before?'' 51263 Do many strangers come here?" |
51263 | Do n''t you think so, Button- Bright? |
51263 | Do n''t you think we''d better keep away from that King''s castle, Cap''n? |
51263 | Do those witches have any magical powers? |
51263 | Do you intend to stay long in Jinxland? |
51263 | Do you mean to say this is the Quadling Country of the Land of Oz? |
51263 | Do you think there is room enough for you to fly in? |
51263 | Does n''t it burn you? |
51263 | Goodness me-- fruit- cake and apple- sauce!--don''t you know where you are?'' 51263 Have n''t you discovered that you no longer love that gardener''s boy, who stood in my way?" |
51263 | Have n''t you heard of me? 51263 Have n''t you the antidote, Scarecrow? |
51263 | Have you been anywhere else, sir? |
51263 | Have you been in the water long? |
51263 | How can you carry me? |
51263 | How could you manage to carry us, if we were so small? |
51263 | How did you cross the mountains before? |
51263 | How did you happen to be there, anyhow? |
51263 | How do you like it? |
51263 | How does that come? |
51263 | How''bout Cap''n Bill''?'' 51263 How?" |
51263 | How? |
51263 | How? |
51263 | I wonder if it can be Orkland, the place I have been seeking so long? |
51263 | I wonder where on earth we are?'' 51263 If only what, ma''am?" |
51263 | If the earth were pushed in a mile, it would be a great calamity, would n''t it? |
51263 | If you do n''t like me-- and I''m sure you do n''t, for no one else does-- why do n''t you go away and leave me to myself? |
51263 | Is he hunting now? |
51263 | Is it? |
51263 | Is the hole blocked? |
51263 | Is the strange little girl named Trot?'' 51263 Lost your way?" |
51263 | May I ask what country this is, sir?'' 51263 Me?" |
51263 | Oh, Cap''n Bill, is n''t this fine an''dandy? |
51263 | Oh, are we? |
51263 | Oh, did it? 51263 Oh, does it rain lemonade here?" |
51263 | Oh, indeed; and does he live there? |
51263 | Oh, what''s the hurry? |
51263 | S''pose we fall?'''' 51263 Shall I unharness you,"asked Dorothy,"so you can come in and visit?" |
51263 | Strangers, eh? 51263 Suppose I go ahead?" |
51263 | Surrender? 51263 That reminds me,"remarked Cap''n Bill,"to ask you, friend Ork, how we are going to get away from here?" |
51263 | Then mebbe they''re-- they''re-- What do you call''em, Cap''n Bill? 51263 Then why are you here, you rascal?" |
51263 | They''re no good to us now, are they, Cap''n? |
51263 | Want some now, Trot? |
51263 | Was it the flogging you got that broke your heart?'' 51263 Was your cavern like this one?" |
51263 | Water? |
51263 | Well,said the Scarecrow,"did the King surrender?" |
51263 | Well? |
51263 | What country is that? |
51263 | What do you mean by hitting me in the eye with an apple- core? |
51263 | What do you say, Trot? |
51263 | What does it look like? |
51263 | What does the Book say about it?'' 51263 What does this mean?" |
51263 | What is a candle? |
51263 | What is that one thing you excepted? |
51263 | What is that? |
51263 | What is that? |
51263 | What made it stop burning? |
51263 | What makes it, Cap''n? |
51263 | What shall we do with the other four berries? |
51263 | What sort of an enchantment could she put on Cap''n Bill? |
51263 | What will you think of? |
51263 | What''s happened to you? |
51263 | What''s the matter now?'' 51263 What''s the matter with your King?" |

51263 | What''s the matter? |
51263 | What''s the place like? |
51263 | What''s this? |
51263 | What''s treason? |
51263 | What''s wrong? |
51263 | What''s wrong?'' 51263 What, are you_ our_ Ork, then?" |
51263 | What, now? |
51263 | Where are they going?'''' 51263 Where d''ye think we are, Trot?" |
51263 | Where did_ you_ come from? |
51263 | Where do you s''pose Gloria is?'' 51263 Where does he belong?" |
51263 | Where does it lie? |
51263 | Where is Jinxland?'' 51263 Where is he? |
51263 | Where is she? |
51263 | Who are you, what are your names, and where do you come from? 51263 Who are you?" |
51263 | Who is Button- Bright? |
51263 | Who is Glinda? |
51263 | Who''s worrying? |
51263 | Who, me? |
51263 | Who, me? |
51263 | Why are we insulted in this way? 51263 Why ask him, when we_ know_ he''ll refuse?" |
51263 | Why could n''t you take some of the dark purple berries along with you, to eat after we had reached our destination? |
51263 | Why did n''t I think of the Wicked Witch before? 51263 Why do n''t you eat? |
51263 | Why do n''t you stay here? 51263 Why is that?" |
51263 | Why not? |
51263 | Why not?'' 51263 Why so?" |
51263 | Why, how did you know all that? |
51263 | Why, it''s popcorn? 51263 Wo n''t they see us?" |
51263 | A bird? |
51263 | Absurd, was n''t it?" |
51263 | After a little, one of them asked:"If you make us big, would we stay big always?" |
51263 | After examining it closely for a time he asked:"Which way does your tail whirl?" |
51263 | And how did you happen to come to this island?" |
51263 | And what makes you so bumpy everywhere?" |
51263 | Are Trot and Pon around here?" |
51263 | Are n''t you hungry?" |
51263 | Are there many of you?" |
51263 | As he sat beside her, talking of his adventures, he asked:"What''s new in the way of news?" |
51263 | But I feel pretty sure that this occasion is an emergency; do n''t you, Trot?'' |
51263 | But for the sake of argument, friend Pessim, I''d like to know what good_ you_ would be, were you not alive?" |
51263 | But how shall we ever find the road to Glinda''s palace, without the Scarecrow to guide us?" |
51263 | But if she says no to Googly- Goo, and means it, what can they do?" |
51263 | But tell us, what did you find down there?" |
51263 | But the sailor said, in a quiet tone of voice:"Are you the only one as lives on this''ere island?" |
51263 | But where are Trot and Cap''n Bill?" |
51263 | But would you mind, my dear, stuffing that straw into my body again?" |
51263 | But-- look there, Trot!--isn''t that a light flashing over yonder?" |
51263 | Button- Bright looked down on the young man and said:"Who cares, anyhow?" |
51263 | Cap''n Bill knew something of mechanics, and observing the propeller- like tail of the Ork he said:"I s''pose you''re a pretty swift flyer?" |
51263 | Cap''n Bill walked straight up to them and asked:"Does the King happen to be at home?" |
51263 | Cap''n Bill, puffing and panting, had just voice enough to ask, as he reached her side:"See him, Trot?" |
51263 | Did n''t the great Sorceress give you another box?" |
51263 | Did you cross the desert or the mountains?" |
51263 | Do n''t you have water in Mo?" |
51263 | Do n''t you see it?" |
51263 | Do you call it a good morning when I''m pestered with such a crowd as you?" |
51263 | Do you think you can keep from falling off?" |
51263 | Finally Trot mustered up courage to ask:"What is a Mountain Ear, please?" |
51263 | How are we to get away from this mountain?" |
51263 | How did that happen?" |
51263 | I never heard of anybody getting hurt in her dominions, did you, Button- Bright?" |
51263 | Is it really raining?'' |
51263 | Is n''t that a house, over there to the left?" |
51263 | Is that satisfactory?" |
51263 | Making her way toward him, she asked:"What do you see?" |
51263 | Next morning Dorothy said to Ozma:"Ought n''t we to go meet the strangers, so we can show them the way to the Emerald City? |
51263 | Now, tell me: Which three of you birds will consent to carry us?" |
51263 | Oh, Cap''n, what do you s''pose has become of him?" |
51263 | Ork?" |
51263 | Ork?" |
51263 | Presently the King asked:"How did you penetrate to this hidden country? |
51263 | Shall we go on?'' |
51263 | So the King bared his teeth angrily as he demanded:[ Illustration]"What have you done with Princess Gloria?" |
51263 | Still, taken altogether, I''m very handsomely formed, do n''t you think?" |
51263 | Suppose we throw Pon into the Great Gulf, your Majesty?" |
51263 | Surrender to whom?" |
51263 | Tell me, sir, what will the poor things do when they find they ca n''t fly?" |
51263 | The Ork looked from one to another and asked:"Who is this stranger?" |
51263 | The Ork watched him a while in silence and then asked:"Who may_ you_ be?" |
51263 | The candle is not dangerous, I hope?" |
51263 | The whirlpool caught me, and--""Oh, were you in the whirlpool, too?" |
51263 | Then he looked at Cap''n Bill uneasily and added:"Wo n''t you let the poor things go?" |
51263 | Then he said:"I must n''t break my promise to be present at the surprise party; but, tell me, could you go to Oz to- night?" |
51263 | Then she turned to Ozma and asked:"What is that thing, Ozma? |
51263 | Then the creature asked plaintively:"Do we eat now, or do we starve?" |
51263 | They were nearly a mile from shore and about half- way across the bay when Trot suddenly sat up straight and exclaimed:"What''s that, Cap''n?" |
51263 | We did n''t reach Davy Jones''s locker that time, did we? |
51263 | What did you expect it to be?" |
51263 | What do you mean by treating me so? |
51263 | What do you observe?" |
51263 | What do you say to our landing on that?" |
51263 | What do you think of me now?" |
51263 | What does she say, Sire? |
51263 | What made you dig me out? |
51263 | When all this had been arranged one of the birds asked:"Where do you wish us to take you?" |
51263 | When they came to the house Trot sniffed the air and asked:"Do n''t I smell perfume?''" |
51263 | Where do you s''pose he is, Trot?" |
51263 | Where in the world did you come from?" |
51263 | Where''s the grasshopper? |
51263 | Who shall it be?" |
51263 | Why did I not think of it my self?" |
51263 | Why do n''t you test his powers?" |
51263 | Will she marry me?" |
51263 | Would you like to come with me?" |
51263 | [ Illustration: Trot]"How much food have we got, Cap''n?" |
51263 | [ Illustration]"Well, well, your Majesty; what news-- what news?" |
51263 | [ Illustration]"Whose castle is that, yonder, ma''am?" |
51263 | [ Illustration]"Why should I do that?" |
51263 | are you alive?" |
51263 | exclaimed Trot;"do you intend to take us up, too?" |
51263 | was n''t it tenable?" |
51263 | who''s here?" |
39662 | ''"Ah, Emerald,"she said,"so this is the pretty child you saved? |
39662 | ''"And shall I never see you again, then?" |
39662 | ''"Are you happy with Emerald?" |
39662 | ''"But Emerald will come too?" |
39662 | ''"Emerald,"she exclaimed,"you did not steal her surely?" |
39662 | ''"Oh, baby darling,"she said,"what has put such fancies in your little head? |
39662 | ''"Show me the pretty things,"she said,"and then, then you will take me home, kind lady, wo n''t you? |
39662 | ''"What are the memories of the past that make you happy to remember now?" |
39662 | ''"What are you all talking about?" |
39662 | ''"What is it,"she said;"is the lady angry with you?" |
39662 | ''"What sort of thing?" |
39662 | ''"You told me,"she said,"you told me not to live for myself, but for the service of others-- have I not been doing so?" |
39662 | ''A piece of news, you said, aunt? |
39662 | ''Ah, well, how would you like to hear a story, instead of paying another visit?'' |
39662 | ''And do you think it_ might_ have been one of them I heard laughing?'' |
39662 | ''And how did we get here?'' |
39662 | ''And if you please where are we, and what are you going to show us now?'' |
39662 | ''And nuts with the other?'' |
39662 | ''And oh,''said Leonore, suddenly diving into her jacket pocket,''that reminds me, Fraulein-- where are the nuts she gave me? |
39662 | ''And this is the gossamer-- may I touch it?'' |
39662 | ''And was it not strange that she should have come to meet us?'' |
39662 | ''And what do you think we are meant to do now?'' |
39662 | ''And what for, if you please?'' |
39662 | ''And who sent you?'' |
39662 | ''And why should we have"big fires,"or furnaces, or whatever you call the clumsy things?'' |
39662 | ''Are n''t you going to eat anything yourselves?'' |
39662 | ''Are they all the little young birds?'' |
39662 | ''Are we half- way there yet?'' |
39662 | ''Are we on the other side of the sky?'' |
39662 | ''Are we up on the roof of the Castle, or where?'' |
39662 | ''Are you awake, Hildegarde?'' |
39662 | ''Are you going to take us all the way home yourself?'' |
39662 | ''Are you going to take us somewhere?'' |
39662 | ''Are you the air- fairies?'' |
39662 | ''Besides what?'' |
39662 | ''But if you make such a great many, where do you send the others to? |
39662 | ''But it looks as if very real people had built_ that_, does it not?'' |
39662 | ''But please,''began Hildegarde again,''if I may ask you questions, do tell me what you are all busy about, besides teaching the birds to sing?'' |
39662 | ''But the fairy did say something to you,''Leonore reminded her,''"throw high,"was n''t that what she said?'' |
39662 | ''But where do they send them to?'' |
39662 | ''But why should you want snowstorms?'' |
39662 | ''Ca n''t we go to the Castle? |
39662 | ''Can it be water?'' |
39662 | ''Could the gnomes be vexed at our coming?'' |
39662 | ''Did I not tell you? |
39662 | ''Did they have a grand feast, and did they invite any fairies? |
39662 | ''Did you hear that, Fraulein?'' |
39662 | ''Do you count gardening easy work, then, if you put such young gnomes to do it?'' |
39662 | ''Do you have all you eat sent down from our country, or from Fairyland?'' |
39662 | ''Do you make toys down here?'' |
39662 | ''Do you mean that the little girl is perhaps coming to live here in this house with us?'' |
39662 | ''Do you mean,''she began,''Hildegarde,_ can_ you mean that perhaps we are going to find the way to Fairyland? |
39662 | ''Does n''t the room look pretty?'' |
39662 | ''Even if what?'' |
39662 | ''Have we been dreaming?'' |
39662 | ''Have you enjoyed the concert?'' |
39662 | ''Here I am,''she said,''what is it?'' |
39662 | ''Hildegarde,''said Leonore as they were walking on,''how shall we know when we are meant to crack the next two nuts?'' |
39662 | ''Hildegarde,''whispered Leonore,''are you frightened? |
39662 | ''How can I tap with it? |
39662 | ''How could you know? |
39662 | ''How could you know?'' |
39662 | ''How did we get out of the panniers?'' |
39662 | ''How did you catch cold?'' |
39662 | ''How lovely that would be,''she said,''do tell me what makes you think so, Hildegarde?'' |
39662 | ''How shall we get to her?'' |
39662 | ''I am not in the least giddy; are you?'' |
39662 | ''I never felt anything, did you, Leonore?'' |
39662 | ''I think,''she said, getting up from the ground as she spoke,''I think we must be going-- don''t you, Leonore?'' |
39662 | ''I wonder how soon we shall know?'' |
39662 | ''I wonder what will happen when we crack_ them_, Hildegarde?'' |
39662 | ''If you please,''said Hildegarde,''are you packing flowers?'' |
39662 | ''Indeed,''said the gnome,''and what then? |
39662 | ''Is it a very long drive to Dorf?'' |
39662 | ''Is it time for us to go home now?'' |
39662 | ''Is n''t it lovely?'' |
39662 | ''Is n''t it pretty here?'' |
39662 | ''Is not that better than your scorching furnaces? |
39662 | ''Is there any fear?'' |
39662 | ''It was all too lovely, was n''t it?'' |
39662 | ''It would n''t do to ask Aunt Anna, or Fraulein, I suppose?'' |
39662 | ''May I, oh may I tell Leonore?'' |
39662 | ''May n''t we get out here and walk on a little way?'' |
39662 | ''May n''t we see the toy factory? |
39662 | ''May we ask you questions?'' |
39662 | ''May we go now, Aunt Anna? |
39662 | ''May we walk through your-- garden?'' |
39662 | ''Mending_ old_ horse- shoes? |
39662 | ''Never mind where you are,''the fairy replied;''is it not enough for you to know that you are with me? |
39662 | ''Oh dear, oh dear,''sobbed the little women,''what_ shall_ we do? |
39662 | ''Oh no,''said the old lady tranquilly,''I know you are as safe as you can be-- you are going to the woods, I suppose?'' |
39662 | ''Oh that is where you have taken up your quarters, is it?'' |
39662 | ''Oh, Hildegarde, how queer everything is down here-- don''t you think we had better go home?'' |
39662 | ''Oh,''exclaimed Leonore,''do you really think we should? |
39662 | ''Oh,''interrupted Leonore,''is this the home of the Four Winds?--is this the place where they start from, and meet again and make all their plans?'' |
39662 | ''P''raps they go back to Fairyland every night, and are here every day; fairies do n''t need to go to sleep ever, do they?'' |
39662 | ''Please tell me, Aunt Anna,''she said,''as you were at Hildegarde''s christening, was there any one there who_ might_ have been a fairy?'' |
39662 | ''Please tell us,''said Leonore timidly,''do you always sit here, except when you come up to where we live? |
39662 | ''Say?'' |
39662 | ''Shall I ring it, or will you?'' |
39662 | ''Shall we find you here when we come back, please, dear fairy lady?'' |
39662 | ''She hoped you would come back with me after our walk; but, Hildegarde, what shall we say if they ask where we have been?'' |
39662 | ''Singing- school,''repeated Hildegarde,''what can that mean?'' |
39662 | ''Surely this is Fairyland itself at last?'' |
39662 | ''Thank you,''said Hildegarde again,''may I have some blackberries? |
39662 | ''That means that I am to----''he cleared his throat and hesitated for a moment, then went on again,''to tire myself out doing showman; I suppose?'' |
39662 | ''Then you_ are_ a fairy,''Leonore burst out,''and it was you I heard laugh on our way here-- wasn''t it?'' |
39662 | ''Up to our world, do you mean?'' |
39662 | ''Up to where?'' |
39662 | ''Well,''said Aunt Anna,''this country is on the borders of Fairyland, so who can say? |
39662 | ''Well?'' |
39662 | ''What are lucky pennies?'' |
39662 | ''What are these things?'' |
39662 | ''What are they doing?'' |
39662 | ''What are you spinning now?'' |
39662 | ''What can it mean?'' |
39662 | ''What can it mean?'' |
39662 | ''What can that be?'' |
39662 | ''What has become of the little brown paper?'' |
39662 | ''What is a presentiment?'' |
39662 | ''What may I have the pleasure of helping you to first?'' |
39662 | ''What shall we do with ourselves?'' |
39662 | ''What?'' |
39662 | ''Where have we got to?'' |
39662 | ''Who sent you down here?'' |
39662 | ''Why is the light so red?'' |
39662 | ''Why not?'' |
39662 | ''Will you give her my love, Fraulein Elsa, and tell her so? |
39662 | ''Would you not like to see a little more of our country? |
39662 | ''Yes,''she agreed,''but we would like to know why you are doing it-- I mean where are all the packages to be sent to, and what for?'' |
39662 | ''You are awake, my child?'' |
39662 | ''You have found it?'' |
39662 | ''You have your nuts quite safe?'' |
39662 | ''You wo n''t think it rude, will you? |
39662 | ''_ Is n''t_ she like an old fairy? |
39662 | Above all, would she care for the same things-- would she love fairies, and be always hoping to see one some day? |
39662 | And about to- morrow,''she went on,''may Leonore come up immediately after dinner? |
39662 | And after a time, she began to ask herself how and where she was to seek for the treasure she had felt so confident of finding for the princess? |
39662 | And are you always spinning?'' |
39662 | And is Dorf as near Fairyland as this dear old town, do you think?'' |
39662 | And it is n''t like a hotel, is it? |
39662 | And the little breezes are kind, are n''t they? |
39662 | And when they opened them again-- where were they? |
39662 | And, I''m not sure, but I think I''m rather hungry, so may n''t we have supper at once?'' |
39662 | Are the chairs all covered with blue silk?'' |
39662 | Are you not happy with Emerald and all your pretty toys and games? |
39662 | But I should have liked to peep into the houses-- wouldn''t you, Leonore? |
39662 | But oh, Hildegarde, that must be the gate into gnomeland-- I am so glad it does not feel any hotter; it is quite nice and cool, is n''t it?'' |
39662 | But then, why did n''t you hear it too, Fraulein, and what was it laughing at, do you think? |
39662 | But where are our beds, Hildegarde?'' |
39662 | But where was the tiny hammer? |
39662 | CHAPTER V''WHAT''S O''CLOCK?'' |
39662 | CHAPTER VIII TREE- TOP LAND Where were you taught your song, little bird? |
39662 | Could anything be prettier or rarer as a gift to our princess?" |
39662 | Did you tidy it at all after I got into bed last night, Hildegarde?'' |
39662 | Do n''t you think so?'' |
39662 | Do n''t you think so?'' |
39662 | Do you never come down to our world yourself, fairy?'' |
39662 | Do you really mean it? |
39662 | Do you think we denizens of the under- world are as stupid as your clumsy workmen up above? |
39662 | Do you think we should see any of them?'' |
39662 | Does n''t the running and trickling sound pretty? |
39662 | Flying or swimming, which was it? |
39662 | Fraulein had said ten o''clock, had she not? |
39662 | Good news, I hope?'' |
39662 | Have you had a pleasant afternoon?'' |
39662 | How can we find out how to make him go?'' |
39662 | How queer everything looks-- do you think the people are all in bed, Fraulein?'' |
39662 | I almost wish----''''What?'' |
39662 | I think we shall get to know each other far the best by being alone by ourselves-- don''t you think so?'' |
39662 | If only he and mamma were here, and your father, Leonore, we should have everything we could want in the world, would n''t we?'' |
39662 | Is it not in your pocket?'' |
39662 | Is n''t it too lovely? |
39662 | Is that one he is making?'' |
39662 | Is there a mill here?'' |
39662 | It had n''t seemed half so late that night as it did now-- would ten o''clock_ never_ come? |
39662 | It is the spinning- wheel fairy-- don''t you hear the whirr? |
39662 | It is very late for them, is n''t it?'' |
39662 | It looks as if it had dungeons and-- and-- forti-- What is the word, Fraulein?'' |
39662 | It seems like the country, and oh, are n''t you glad to be out of the train? |
39662 | It seems unkind to have lost them-- do you want me to throw these last three away?'' |
39662 | It was quite different from gnomeland,''Hildegarde went on,''and yet you say that both these countries are on the way to real Fairyland?'' |
39662 | It''s a nice feeling, going up so fast, is n''t it, but I wonder where we are going to?'' |
39662 | May I ask you to step inside?'' |
39662 | May I come this afternoon?'' |
39662 | May Leonore come to the foot of the Castle hill with me?'' |
39662 | My great- great- great- grandmother, was n''t it?'' |
39662 | Oh, I see-- it is cobwebs, is it not?'' |
39662 | Oh, it''s quite a common thing; but, oh dear, dear, what_ shall_ we do about the collation?'' |
39662 | Shall I go in now to see Aunt Anna?'' |
39662 | Shall we sit down? |
39662 | That shows, I hope, that the air- fairies entertained you well?'' |
39662 | Then after a little pause she added,''Would your old aunt think me very silly for believing about fairies? |
39662 | There was plenty for Leonore to think about, and dream about, that first night in the quaint little house, was there not? |
39662 | They reminded her of some other smile-- whose was it? |
39662 | We want to get to Fairyland, and you can show us the way, can you not?'' |
39662 | We''re_ there_--do you hear? |
39662 | What are all the other countries, do you think?'' |
39662 | What can it be?'' |
39662 | What shall I do with them, if I must n''t eat them? |
39662 | Where are the streets and-- and-- everything? |
39662 | Where is your nut, Hildegarde?'' |
39662 | Who could be severe with her?'' |
39662 | Who sent you to kiss us, you breezes of May? |
39662 | Who was it that worked them, grandmamma? |
39662 | Whose smile could it be? |
39662 | Wo n''t you eat one yourself?'' |
39662 | Would she be taller or smaller than herself-- dark or fair, merry or quiet? |
39662 | Would you like to see them? |
39662 | You have had rainy weather lately, I suppose?'' |
39662 | You have slept well? |
39662 | You will not be anxious even if Leonore does not come home till dark?'' |
39662 | You would rather have it downstairs, I suppose?'' |
39662 | You''ve heard the story of the one that came to my christening feast?'' |
39662 | [ Illustration:"WHO SENT YOU TO KISS US, YOU BREEZES OF MAY?"] |
39662 | _ Spring Song._ Where were they? |
39662 | asked Hildegarde;''is the thread to make ladders of again?'' |
39662 | could it be that they were slackening speed? |
39662 | said Leonore,''and this time I do n''t feel as if we had been dreaming, do you, Hildegarde?'' |
39662 | she exclaimed;''do you hear that sound, Leonore? |
957 | All ready? |
957 | All ready? |
957 | And s''pose we got afloat on the ocean,said Trot,"where would we drift to, and how long would it take us to get there?" |
957 | And where is Jinxland, please? |
957 | And who may the Princess Gloria be? |
957 | Are n''t they dreadful creatures, all covered with feathers? |
957 | Are n''t you afraid? |
957 | Are you certain this is snow? |
957 | Are you going to land? |
957 | Are you strong enough to carry us? |
957 | Are you very busy just now? |
957 | Brains working? |
957 | But I wonder if we can find something to eat in this place? |
957 | But how? |
957 | But tell us, Pon, who was Gloria''s father? |
957 | But what is an Ork? |
957 | But what''ll we do with King Krewl? 957 But where''s Button- Bright?" |
957 | But who is that old woman who is running toward us and shaking her stick at us? |
957 | Ca n''t we help them in any way? |
957 | Ca n''t you fly along? |
957 | Ca n''t you get another one? |
957 | Ca n''t you like even me? |
957 | Ca n''t you see you are obstructing my view? |
957 | Can I do anything? |
957 | Can you destroy the love of Princess Gloria for the gardener''s boy? |
957 | Can you find your way back home again? |
957 | Can you give molasses? |
957 | Corns? 957 Could n''t we walk without a light?" |
957 | Could she do that? |
957 | Did n''t I tell you winter was coming? 957 Did she, really?" |
957 | Did the river make a bend, after the waterfall? |
957 | Did you ever hear of Jinxland before? |
957 | Do many strangers come here? |
957 | Do n''t you think so, Button- Bright? |
957 | Do n''t you think we''d better keep away from that King''s castle, Cap''n? |
957 | Do those witches have any magical powers? |
957 | Do you intend to stay long in Jinxland? |
957 | Do you mean to say this is the Quadling Country of the Land of Oz? |
957 | Do you think there is room enough for you to fly in? |
957 | Does n''t it burn you? |
957 | Goodness me-- fruit- cake and apple- sauce!--don''t you know where you are? |
957 | Have n''t you discovered that you no longer love that gardener''s boy, who stood in my way? |
957 | Have n''t you heard of me? 957 Have n''t you the antidote, Scarecrow? |
957 | Have you been anywhere else, sir? |
957 | Have you been in the water long? |
957 | How can you carry me? |
957 | How could you manage to carry us, if we were so small? |
957 | How did you cross the mountains before? |
957 | How did you happen to be there, anyhow? |
957 | How do you like it? |
957 | How does that come? |
957 | How much food have we got, Cap''n? |
957 | How''bout Cap''n Bill? |
957 | How? |
957 | How? |
957 | How? |
957 | I wonder if it can be Orkland, the place I have been seeking so long? |
957 | I wonder where on earth we are? |
957 | If only what, ma''am? |
957 | If the earth were pushed in a mile, it would be a great calamity, would n''t it? |
957 | If you do n''t like me-- and I''m sure you do n''t, for no one else does-- why do n''t you go away and leave me to myself? |
957 | Is he hunting now? |
957 | Is it? |
957 | Is the hole blocked? |
957 | Is the strange little girl named Trot? |
957 | Lost your way? |
957 | May I ask what country this is, sir? |
957 | Me? |
957 | Oh, Cap''n Bill, is n''t this fine an''dandy? |
957 | Oh, are we? |
957 | Oh, did it? 957 Oh, does it rain lemonade here?" |
957 | Oh, indeed; and does he live there? |
957 | Oh, what''s the hurry? |
957 | S''pose we fall? |
957 | Shall I unharness you,asked Dorothy,"so you can come in and visit?" |
957 | Strangers, eh? 957 Suppose I go ahead?" |
957 | Surrender? 957 That reminds me,"remarked Cap''n Bill,"to ask you, friend Ork, how we are going to get away from here?" |
957 | Then mebbe they''re-- they''re-- What do you call''em, Cap''n Bill? 957 Then why are you here, you rascal?" |
957 | They''re no good to us now, are they, Cap''n? |
957 | Want some now, Trot? |
957 | Was it the flogging you got that broke your heart? |
957 | Was your cavern like this one? |
957 | Water? |
957 | Well, well, your Majesty; what news-- what news? |
957 | Well,said the Scarecrow,"did the King surrender?" |
957 | Well? |
957 | What country is that? |
957 | What do you mean by hitting me in the eye with an apple- core? |
957 | What do you say, Trot? |
957 | What does it look like? |
957 | What does the Book say about it? |
957 | What does this mean? |
957 | What is a candle? |
957 | What is that one thing you excepted? |
957 | What is that? |
957 | What is that? |
957 | What made it stop burning? |
957 | What makes it, Cap''n? |
957 | What shall we do with the other four berries? |
957 | What sort of an enchantment could she put on Cap''n Bill? |
957 | What will you think of? |
957 | What''s happened to you? |
957 | What''s the matter now? |
957 | What''s the matter with your King? |
957 | What''s the matter? |
957 | What''s the matter? |
957 | What''s the place like? |
957 | What''s this? |
957 | What''s treason? |
957 | What''s wrong? |
957 | What''s wrong? |
957 | What, are you our Ork, then? |
957 | What, now? |
957 | Where are they going? |
957 | Where d''ye think we are, Trot? |
957 | Where did you come from? |
957 | Where do you s''pose Gloria is? |
957 | Where does he belong? |
957 | Where does it lie? |
957 | Where is Jinxland? |
957 | Where is he? 957 Where is she?" |
957 | Who are you, what are your names, and where do you come from? |
957 | Who are you? |
957 | Who is Button- Bright? |
957 | Who is Glinda? |
957 | Who''s worrying? |
957 | Who, me? |
957 | Who, me? |
957 | Whose castle is that, yonder, ma''am? |
957 | Why are we insulted in this way? 957 Why ask him, when we know he''ll refuse?" |
957 | Why could n''t you take some of the dark purple berries along with you, to eat after we had reached our destination? |
957 | Why did n''t I think of the Wicked Witch before? 957 Why do n''t you eat? |
957 | Why do n''t you stay here? 957 Why is that?" |
957 | Why not? |
957 | Why not? |
957 | Why should I do that? |
957 | Why so? |
957 | Why, how did you know all that? |
957 | Why, it''s popcorn? |
957 | Wo n''t they see us? |
957 | A bird? |
957 | Absurd, was n''t it?" |
957 | After a little, one of them asked:"If you make us big, would we stay big always?" |
957 | After examining it closely for a time he asked:"Which way does your tail whirl?" |
957 | And how did you happen to come to this island?" |
957 | And what makes you so bumpy everywhere?" |
957 | Are Trot and Pon around here?" |
957 | Are n''t you hungry?" |
957 | Are there many of you?" |
957 | As he sat beside her, talking of his adventures, he asked:"What''s new in the way of news?" |
957 | But I feel pretty sure that this occasion is an emergency; do n''t you, Trot?" |
957 | But for the sake of argument, friend Pessim, I''d like to know what good you would be, were you not alive?" |
957 | But how shall we ever find the road to Glinda''s palace, without the Scarecrow to guide us?" |
957 | But if she says no to Googly- Goo, and means it, what can they do?" |
957 | But tell us, what did you find down there?" |
957 | But the sailor said, in a quiet tone of voice:"Are you the only one as lives on this''ere island?" |
957 | But where are Trot and Cap''n Bill?" |
957 | But would you mind, my dear, stuffing that straw into my body again?" |
957 | But-- look there, Trot!--isn''t that a light flashing over yonder?" |
957 | Button- Bright looked down on the young man and said:"Who cares, anyhow?" |
957 | Cap''n Bill knew something of mechanics, and observing the propeller- like tail of the Ork he said:"I s''pose you''re a pretty swift flyer?" |
957 | Cap''n Bill walked straight up to them and asked:"Does the King happen to be at home?" |
957 | Cap''n Bill, puffing and panting, had just voice enough to ask, as he reached her side:"See him, Trot?" |
957 | Did n''t the great Sorceress give you another box?" |
957 | Did you cross the desert or the mountains?" |
957 | Do n''t you have water in Mo?" |
957 | Do n''t you see it? |
957 | Do you call it a good morning when I''m pestered with such a crowd as you?" |
957 | Do you think you can keep from falling off?" |
957 | Finally Trot mustered up courage to ask:"What is a Mountain Ear, please?" |
957 | How are we to get away from this mountain?" |
957 | How did that happen?" |
957 | I never heard of anybody getting hurt in her dominions, did you, Button- Bright?" |
957 | Is it really raining?" |
957 | Is n''t that a house, over there to the left?" |
957 | Is that satisfactory?" |
957 | Making her way toward him, she asked:"What do you see?" |
957 | Next morning Dorothy said to Ozma:"Ought n''t we to go meet the strangers, so we can show them the way to the Emerald City? |
957 | Now, tell me: Which three of you birds will consent to carry us?" |
957 | Oh, Cap''n, what do you s''pose has become of him?" |
957 | Ork?" |
957 | Ork?" |
957 | Presently the King asked:"How did you penetrate to this hidden country? |
957 | Shall we go on?" |
957 | So the King bared his teeth angrily as he demanded:"What have you done with Princess Gloria?" |
957 | Still, taken altogether, I''m very handsomely formed, do n''t you think?" |
957 | Suppose we throw Pon into the Great Gulf, your Majesty?" |
957 | Surrender to whom?" |
957 | Tell me, sir, what will the poor things do when they find they ca n''t fly?" |
957 | The Ork looked from one to another and asked:"Who is this stranger?" |
957 | The Ork watched him a while in silence and then asked:"Who may you be?" |
957 | The candle is not dangerous, I hope?" |
957 | The whirlpool caught me, and--""Oh, were you in the whirlpool, too?" |
957 | Then he looked at Cap''n Bill uneasily and added:"Wo n''t you let the poor things go?" |
957 | Then he said:"I must n''t break my promise to be present at the surprise party; but, tell me, could you go to Oz to- night?" |
957 | Then she turned to Ozma and asked:"What is that thing, Ozma? |
957 | Then the creature asked plaintively:"Do we eat now, or do we starve?" |
957 | They were nearly a mile from shore and about halfway across the bay when Trot suddenly sat up straight and exclaimed:"What''s that, Cap''n?" |
957 | We did n''t reach Davy Jones''s locker that time, did we? |
957 | What did you expect it to be?" |
957 | What do you mean by treating me so? |
957 | What do you observe?" |
957 | What do you say to our landing on that?" |
957 | What do you think of me now?" |
957 | What does she say, Sire? |
957 | What made you dig me out? |
957 | When all this had been arranged one of the birds asked:"Where do you wish us to take you?" |
957 | When they came to the house Trot sniffed the air and asked"Do n''t I smell perfume?" |
957 | Where do you s''pose he is, Trot? |
957 | Where in the world did you come from?" |
957 | Where''s the grasshopper? |
957 | Who shall it be?" |
957 | Why did I not think of it myself?" |
957 | Why do n''t you test his powers?" |
957 | Will she marry me?" |
957 | Would you like to come with me?" |
957 | are you alive?" |
957 | exclaimed Trot;"do you intend to take us up, too?" |
957 | was n''t it terr''ble?" |
957 | who''s here?" |
4358 | A weapon, ma''am? |
4358 | About how long do you happen to be? |
4358 | Am I to have the Magic Circle drawn around me, too? |
4358 | And can we understand what he says? |
4358 | And do you know where we are? |
4358 | And how could any giant live in there if the roof is so low down? |
4358 | Are YOU Bill Weedles? |
4358 | Are any of them there now? |
4358 | Are n''t you Chief Muffruff? |
4358 | Are the outer passages well guarded? |
4358 | Are there many others in the castle besides you and Zog? |
4358 | Are these earth people? |
4358 | Are these the sea devils? |
4358 | Are they dang''rous? |
4358 | Are they green, eh? |
4358 | Are they in caves, or just in the water like fishes, or how? |
4358 | Are we going anywhere near Zog''s castle? |
4358 | Are we to be fed? |
4358 | Are you a-- a mermaid? |
4358 | Are you afraid to trust us to bring you safely back? |
4358 | Are you all dumb? 4358 Are you dead, or drownded, or what?" |
4358 | Are you fond of him? |
4358 | Are you getting tired? |
4358 | Are you part fishes? |
4358 | Are you sure we have n''t any gills? |
4358 | Are you very cold? |
4358 | Are you well? |
4358 | But how could you do it? |
4358 | But how do you get along if the day is cloudy, and the sun does n''t shine? |
4358 | But if anyone happens to see''em, what then, Cap''n? |
4358 | But we are in mid- water now, where nothing will hinder our journey, unless--She seemed to hesitate, so Trot asked,"Unless what?" |
4358 | But what can one do if one happens to be a sea serpent? |
4358 | But where do you get''em? |
4358 | But why do folks dive in the water when the mermaids smile an''wink? |
4358 | But why does Zog keep his light going all the time? |
4358 | But why should you seek revenge upon us? |
4358 | Ca n''t they get in? |
4358 | Can I do anything to make you happy? |
4358 | Can he talk? |
4358 | Can you do that? |
4358 | Can you fight and conquer the big sea devil up in the dome? |
4358 | Can you suggest a way to destroy Zog? |
4358 | Could you forge me a golden sword? |
4358 | Could you help us to escape? |
4358 | Did it hurt to pull it? |
4358 | Did n''t it say anything about a glove? |
4358 | Did they ever live to tell the tale? |
4358 | Did you ring jes''to tell me to git out? |
4358 | Did you suffer long? |
4358 | Did-- did you hear that, Cap''n Bill? |
4358 | Do n''t the fishes catch and eat you? |
4358 | Do n''t they get lonesome? |
4358 | Do n''t you believe us? |
4358 | Do n''t you care to die? |
4358 | Do n''t you like him? |
4358 | Do n''t you think you could get some fun out of trying to be good? |
4358 | Do they write some comic operas? |
4358 | Do watermelons grow in the sea? |
4358 | Do you call him that now? |
4358 | Do you care to sleep again? |
4358 | Do you hate Zog, too? |
4358 | Do you imagine the despised and conquered Zog has power to destroy them? |
4358 | Do you know what Zog intends to do to us next? |
4358 | Do you like Zog better than you do me? |
4358 | Do you like it? |
4358 | Do you like to be a sea serpent? |
4358 | Do you mean Captain Kidd? |
4358 | Do you mean to tell me that the earth people whom I have always respected compare me to the Stannerd Oil Company? |
4358 | Does n''t it ever get dark? |
4358 | Does n''t my bill of fare make your mouths water? |
4358 | Feel, Trot, feel? 4358 Have they got arms, Cap''n Bill?" |
4358 | Have you a suggestion, Clia? |
4358 | Have you ever been here before? |
4358 | How about changin''us back to our reg''lar shapes? |
4358 | How about sharks? |
4358 | How came you to be Zog''s slave? |
4358 | How can we tell what to do without knowing what''s going to happen? |
4358 | How did Flippity go to glory? |
4358 | How do the crabs in the sea know anything''bout automobiles? |
4358 | How do the mermaids live? |
4358 | How do you like my home? |
4358 | How does anybody know about mermaids if those who have seen them never lived to tell about them? |
4358 | How much farther do we have to go? |
4358 | How old are you? |
4358 | How old is he? |
4358 | How old? |
4358 | How stuck up they are, are n''t they? |
4358 | How''s that, Cap''n? 4358 How''s that?" |
4358 | How''s yourself? |
4358 | How? |
4358 | I suppose these are the earth folks you were expecting? |
4358 | I tried to save you, my poor friends, but--"What''s that? |
4358 | I wonder where our legs have been while we''ve been gone? |
4358 | I''ll see you again, wo n''t I, Joe? |
4358 | In that grove of trees? |
4358 | Is Cap''n Bill a mermaid now? |
4358 | Is Zog a kind master? |
4358 | Is Zog more powerful than the mermaids? |
4358 | Is all quiet? |
4358 | Is anything wrong, ma''am? |
4358 | Is it a sea castle like your own palace? |
4358 | Is n''t it a dreadful, lonely life? |
4358 | Is n''t it nearly nighttime? |
4358 | Is n''t it? |
4358 | Is there anything else to be afraid of in the sea? |
4358 | Is there no avenue that is not guarded? |
4358 | Know what about''em, Trot? |
4358 | Look, Trot; ai n''t that a brig out there? |
4358 | Man- fish,he continued,"what do YOU think of me?" |
4358 | May I ask in what way? |
4358 | May I nip just one of the slaves, oh Zog? |
4358 | Mr. Johnsing,asked one,"why is a mermaid like an automobile?" |
4358 | Must we stand this insulting language-- and from a person to whom we have never been introduced? |
4358 | No one likes to be reminded of a pain, and that third pain was-- was--"What was it? |
4358 | No, are you? 4358 Nobody?" |
4358 | Oh, do you know the sea serpents? |
4358 | Oh, who cares? |
4358 | Older than Cap''n Bill? |
4358 | One what? |
4358 | Other fairies have been seen by mortals; why not mermaids? |
4358 | S''pose they knew how to swim, Cap''n Bill? |
4358 | Shall we start now? |
4358 | Shall we visit the crabs and see what they are doing? |
4358 | So long as seven thousand four hundred and eighty- two feet, five inches and a quarter? |
4358 | Tell me, my lad, is the opening in the great dome outside guarded? |
4358 | That''s pretty old, is n''t it? |
4358 | The ship? |
4358 | Then how do you know, Cap''n Bill? |
4358 | Then wo n''t you make the sword to please me and to show your skill? |
4358 | WE know all about the fairy circles, do n''t we, Migg? |
4358 | WHY do you think a mermaid is like an automobile? |
4358 | Was the third pain as bad as the other two? |
4358 | We''ve had a fine time, have n''t we, Cap''n Bill? |
4358 | Well, are we not friends, then? |
4358 | Well, how do you like him? |
4358 | Well, it''s MY wooden leg, ai n''t it? |
4358 | Well,said he,"do you not find me the most hateful creature you have ever beheld?" |
4358 | What are Zog''s good points? |
4358 | What are the sea devils like, ma''am? |
4358 | What are they? |
4358 | What are your commands? |
4358 | What causes the light? |
4358 | What color would my scales be-- pink, or purple? |
4358 | What did you do? |
4358 | What do the birds find to eat? |
4358 | What does it all mean? |
4358 | What does it mean? |
4358 | What for, Trot? |
4358 | What good would that do? |
4358 | What have you got to eat? |
4358 | What is Zog like? |
4358 | What is he trying to do, anyway? |
4358 | What is the Magic Circle? |
4358 | What made it? |
4358 | What shall I do? 4358 What shall we do, ma''am?" |
4358 | What work do you do? |
4358 | What''s he like? |
4358 | What''s it all about? |
4358 | What''s the difference between a mermaid and a tadpole? |
4358 | What''s the odds? |
4358 | What''s the trouble, do you s''pose? |
4358 | What''s time for, anyhow? |
4358 | What, already? |
4358 | What, an''git drownded? |
4358 | When? |
4358 | When? |
4358 | Where do the lamps come from? |
4358 | Where do they live? |
4358 | Where''s the rest of you, then? |
4358 | Where? |
4358 | Whither away, Commodore Trot? |
4358 | Who are you? |
4358 | Who''s Mummercubble? |
4358 | Who, Anko? 4358 Who, then, has the time to rule over us?" |
4358 | Who? 4358 Who?" |
4358 | Why do n''t they sing''Annie Laurie''or''Home, Sweet Home''or else keep quiet? |
4358 | Why do n''t you kill yourself? |
4358 | Why do n''t you tell''em the truth? |
4358 | Why do you come around here, then, scaring away my dinner when you''re not wanted? |
4358 | Why does that surprise you? |
4358 | Why has n''t anybody seen a mermaid and lived? |
4358 | Why not? 4358 Why not?" |
4358 | Why not? |
4358 | Why not? |
4358 | Why were we brought here? |
4358 | Why, how old are mermaids, then? |
4358 | Why, you ca n''t build a fire in the water, can you? |
4358 | Why? |
4358 | Will they hurt us? |
4358 | Will you allow me to guide you, Cap''n Bill? |
4358 | Will you help us, Sacho? |
4358 | Will you lift Mayre aboard? |
4358 | Will you tell us who you are? |
4358 | With a fish''s tail? |
4358 | Wo n''t he hurt us? |
4358 | Wo n''t someone rob the house while she''s asleep? |
4358 | Wooden leg an''all? |
4358 | Would I have a fish''s tail? |
4358 | Yes, are n''t your doctors sharks? |
4358 | You ai n''t thinkin''o''doin''such a fool thing, are you? |
4358 | You do n''t, eh? |
4358 | After a moment the scene faded away, when the queen asked with another smile,"Are you satisfied?" |
4358 | Again the cave rang with merry laughter, and as it died away, Trot said,"May I see your scales, please? |
4358 | Ai n''t I likely to get stiffened up with all this dampness?" |
4358 | Am I right, or do you think I am wrong?" |
4358 | And are they green and purple and pink like Cap''n Bill said?" |
4358 | And is n''t that Princess Clia? |
4358 | And then he asked,"Does your queen live here?" |
4358 | And who''d ever think that awful creature Zog owned such a splendid castle and kept his prisoners in such lovely rooms?" |
4358 | Are n''t you''fraid?" |
4358 | Are the sea devils their cousins?" |
4358 | Are you ready and willing to follow me?" |
4358 | But Cap''n Bill asked,"Is there any danger, ma''am?" |
4358 | But now Queen Aquareine advanced to a position in front of their captor and said,"Tell me, Zog, why have you trapped us and brought us here?" |
4358 | Ca n''t you trust our good friend, the queen?" |
4358 | Can you sing?" |
4358 | Did you see him when he was alive, Cap''n Bill?" |
4358 | Do n''t you s''pose all these gold roses and things were made under water?" |
4358 | Do n''t you think it''s rather cheeky an''unbrotherly, Trot?" |
4358 | Do you s''pose there were ever any giants in that cave?" |
4358 | Eh, Trot?" |
4358 | Have you fairies nothing that is new to show me?" |
4358 | How do they feel?" |
4358 | How far do you think we have already come, Cap''n?" |
4358 | How would you like for luncheon some oysters on the half- shell, clam broth, shrimp salad, broiled turtle steak and watermelon?" |
4358 | How''s your memory, Cap''n Bill?" |
4358 | I hope you are quite well?" |
4358 | I wonder if they''re any happier than they were before?" |
4358 | Is n''t it splendid, Merla?" |
4358 | Is n''t it, now?" |
4358 | It''s curious to talk about feet when we have n''t any feet, is n''t it?" |
4358 | Jump in, clothes and all?" |
4358 | Mermaids, eh?" |
4358 | Neither spoke for a time, but finally Cap''n Bill asked in a timid voice:"Had n''t we better go back, ma''am?" |
4358 | Or do n''t you know enough to be civil when you meet a neighbor?" |
4358 | Shall we go in?" |
4358 | Shall we make Sacho king?" |
4358 | She entered from the doorway that connected the two rooms and said,"Is n''t it pretty, Cap''n? |
4358 | So I at once sent for Dr. Shark--""Are all your doctors sharks?" |
4358 | That is n''t so bad, is it?" |
4358 | The queen smiled and said to Trot,"What is your opinion, my dear?" |
4358 | Then he raised his head above the water and asked:"Is it peace or war, Muffruff?" |
4358 | Then, suddenly becoming grave, he added,"How about my rheumatics, ma''am? |
4358 | Trot and Cap''n Bill followed, with Clia, and the child asked,"What island are we near?" |
4358 | Trot, being astonished at this sight, asked,"Did n''t you take all of you when you went to the cavern, Anko?" |
4358 | Was n''t it funny at dinnertime to see the way they slid around with the plates?" |
4358 | Were you alive, then?" |
4358 | What are you doing down here?" |
4358 | What do you advise, sir?" |
4358 | What do you say, Cap''n Joe?" |
4358 | What do you think? |
4358 | What say you, comrades? |
4358 | When he had gone, Trot said,"Are n''t you glad to find your brother again, Cap''n Bill?" |
4358 | When the noise finally stopped, the leader turned to his visitors and, waving his baton toward them, asked,"Well, what did you think of that?" |
4358 | Where?" |
4358 | Who is Zog?" |
4358 | Why should we be crushed?" |
4358 | You pulled that bell cord,"said the one- legged( one or more lines missing here in this edition)"Oh, did pullin''that thing ring a bell?" |
4358 | You see, Trot, we''re in consider''ble of a bad mess, an''if we ever live to tell the tale--""Why not, Cap''n?" |
4358 | You would n''t like that, would you?" |
4358 | exclaimed Trot, raising herself by a flirt of her pink- scaled tail and a wave of her fins,"is n''t it dreadful hot here?" |
48778 | About how long do you happen to be? |
48778 | Am I to have the Magic Circle drawn around me, too? |
48778 | And can we understand what he says? |
48778 | And do you know where we are? |
48778 | And how could any giant live in there if the roof is so low down? |
48778 | Are any of them there now? |
48778 | Are n''t you Chief Muffruff? |
48778 | Are the outer passages well guarded? |
48778 | Are there many others in the castle besides you and Zog? |
48778 | Are these earth people? |
48778 | Are these the sea devils? |
48778 | Are they dang''rous? |
48778 | Are they green, eh? |
48778 | Are they in caves, or just in the water like fishes, or how? |
48778 | Are we going anywhere near Zog''s castle? |
48778 | Are we to be fed? |
48778 | Are you afraid to trust us to bring you safely back? |
48778 | Are you all dumb? 48778 Are you dead, or drownded, or what?" |
48778 | Are you fond of him? |
48778 | Are you getting tired? |
48778 | Are you part fishes? |
48778 | Are you sure we have n''t any gills? |
48778 | Are you very cold? |
48778 | Are you well? |
48778 | Are you-- a-- a-- mermaid? |
48778 | Are_ you_ Bill Weedles? |
48778 | But how could you do it? |
48778 | But how do you get along if the day is cloudy, and the sun does n''t shine? |
48778 | But if anyone happens to see''em, what then, Cap''n? |
48778 | But we are in mid- water now, where nothing will hinder our journey, unless--She seemed to hesitate; so Trot asked:"Unless what?" |
48778 | But what can one do, if one happens to be a sea serpent? |
48778 | But where do you get''em? |
48778 | But why do folks dive in the water when the mermaids smile an''wink? |
48778 | But why does Zog keep his light going all the time? |
48778 | But why should you seek revenge upon us? |
48778 | Ca n''t they get in? |
48778 | Can I do anything to make you happy? |
48778 | Can he talk? |
48778 | Can you do that? |
48778 | Can you fight and conquer the big sea devil up in the dome? |
48778 | Can you suggest a way to destroy Zog? |
48778 | Could you forge me a golden sword? |
48778 | Could you help us to escape? |
48778 | Did it hurt to pull it? |
48778 | Did n''t it say anything about a glove? |
48778 | Did they ever live to tell the tale? |
48778 | Did you ring jes''to tell me to git out? |
48778 | Did you suffer long? |
48778 | Did-- did you hear that, Cap''n Bill? |
48778 | Do n''t the fishes catch and eat you? |
48778 | Do n''t they get lonesome? |
48778 | Do n''t you believe us? |
48778 | Do n''t you care to die? |
48778 | Do n''t you like him? |
48778 | Do n''t you think you could get some fun out of trying to be good? |
48778 | Do they write comic operas? |
48778 | Do watermelons grow in the sea? |
48778 | Do you call him that, now? |
48778 | Do you care to sleep again? |
48778 | Do you hate Zog, too? |
48778 | Do you imagine the despised and conquered Zog has power to destroy them? |
48778 | Do you like Zog better than you do me? |
48778 | Do you like it? |
48778 | Do you like to be a sea serpent? |
48778 | Do you mean Captain Kidd? |
48778 | Do you mean to tell me that the earth people, whom I have always respected, compare me to the Stannerd Oil Company? |
48778 | Does n''t it ever get dark? |
48778 | Does n''t my bill of fare make your mouths water? |
48778 | Feel, Trot-- feel? 48778 H- m. Are n''t you''fraid?" |
48778 | Have they got arms, Cap''n Bill? |
48778 | Have you a suggestion, Clia? |
48778 | Have you ever been here before? |
48778 | How about sharks? |
48778 | How came you to be Zog''s slave? |
48778 | How can we tell what to do, without knowing what''s going to happen? |
48778 | How did Flippity go to glory? |
48778 | How do the crabs in the sea know anything''bout auto''biles? |
48778 | How do the mermaids live? |
48778 | How do you like my home? |
48778 | How does anybody know about mermaids, if those who have seen them never lived to tell about them? |
48778 | How much farther do we have to go? |
48778 | How old are you? |
48778 | How old is he? |
48778 | How old? |
48778 | How''bout changin''us back to our reg''lar shapes? |
48778 | How''s that, Cap''n? 48778 How''s that?" |
48778 | How''s yourself? |
48778 | How? |
48778 | I suppose these are the earth folks you were expecting? |
48778 | I tried to save you, my poor friends, but--"What''s that? |
48778 | I wonder where our legs have been while we''ve been gone? |
48778 | I''ll see you again, wo n''t I, Joe? |
48778 | In that grove of trees? |
48778 | Is Cap''n Bill a mermaid now? |
48778 | Is Zog a kind master? |
48778 | Is Zog more powerful than the mermaids? |
48778 | Is all quiet? |
48778 | Is anything wrong, ma''am? |
48778 | Is it a sea castle, like your own palaces? |
48778 | Is n''t it a dreadful, lonely life? |
48778 | Is n''t it nearly night time? |
48778 | Is n''t it? |
48778 | Is there anything else to be afraid of in the sea? |
48778 | Is there no avenue that is not guarded? |
48778 | Know what about''em, Trot? |
48778 | Look, Trot; ai n''t that a brig out there? |
48778 | Man- fish,he continued,"what do_ you_ think of me?" |
48778 | May I ask in what way? |
48778 | May I nip just one of the slaves, oh, Zog? |
48778 | Mr. Johnsing,asked one,"why is a mermaid like an automobile?" |
48778 | No one likes to be reminded of a pain, and that third pain was-- was--"What was it? |
48778 | No; are you? 48778 Nobody?" |
48778 | Oh, do you know the sea serpents? |
48778 | Oh, who cares? |
48778 | Oh; did pullin''that thing ring a bell? |
48778 | Older than Cap''n Bill? |
48778 | One what? |
48778 | Other fairies have been seen by mortals; why not mermaids? |
48778 | Shall we start now? |
48778 | Shall we visit the crabs and see what they are doing? |
48778 | So long as seven thousand four hundred and eighty- two feet, five inches and a quarter? |
48778 | Tell me, my lad, is the opening in the great dome outside guarded? |
48778 | That will be nice,said Trot, eagerly; but Cap''n Bill asked:"Is there any danger, ma''am?" |
48778 | The ship? |
48778 | Then how do you know, Cap''n Bill? |
48778 | Then wo n''t you make the sword to please me-- and to show your skill? |
48778 | Was the third pain as bad as the other two? |
48778 | We''ve had a fine time; have n''t we, Cap''n Bill? |
48778 | Well, are n''t we friends, then? |
48778 | Well, how do you like him? |
48778 | Well, it''s_ my_ wooden leg, ai n''t it? |
48778 | Well,said he,"do you not find me the most hateful creature you have ever beheld?" |
48778 | What are Zog''s good points? |
48778 | What are the sea devils like, ma''am? |
48778 | What are they? |
48778 | What are your commands? |
48778 | What causes the light? |
48778 | What color would my scales be-- pink, or purple? |
48778 | What did you do? |
48778 | What do the birds find to eat? |
48778 | What does it mean? |
48778 | What for, Trot? |
48778 | What good would that do? |
48778 | What have you got to eat? |
48778 | What is Zog like? |
48778 | What is he trying to do, anyway? |
48778 | What is the Magic Circle? |
48778 | What made it? |
48778 | What shall I do? 48778 What shall we do, ma''am?" |
48778 | What work do you do? |
48778 | What''s he like? |
48778 | What''s it all about? |
48778 | What''s the difference between a mermaid and a tadpole? |
48778 | What''s the odds? |
48778 | What''s the trouble, do you s''pose? |
48778 | What''s time for, anyhow? |
48778 | What, an''git drownded? |
48778 | When? |
48778 | When? |
48778 | Where did the lamps come from? |
48778 | Where do they live? |
48778 | Where''s the rest of you, then? |
48778 | Where? |
48778 | Whither away, Commodore Trot? |
48778 | Who are you? |
48778 | Who''s Mummercubble? |
48778 | Who, Anko? 48778 Who, then, has the time to rule over us?" |
48778 | Who? 48778 Who?" |
48778 | Why do n''t they sing''Annie Laurie,''or''Home, Sweet Home,''or else keep quiet? |
48778 | Why do n''t you kill yourself? |
48778 | Why do n''t you tell''em the truth? |
48778 | Why do you come around here, then, scaring away my dinner, when you''re not wanted? |
48778 | Why does that surprise you? |
48778 | Why has n''t anybody seen a mermaid and lived? |
48778 | Why not? 48778 Why not?" |
48778 | Why not? |
48778 | Why not? |
48778 | Why were we brought here? |
48778 | Why, how old are mermaids, then? |
48778 | Why? |
48778 | Will they hurt us? |
48778 | Will you allow me to guide you, Cap''n Bill? |
48778 | Will you help us, Sacho? |
48778 | Will you lift Mayre aboard? |
48778 | Will you tell us who you are? |
48778 | With a fish''s tail? |
48778 | Wo n''t he hurt us? |
48778 | Wo n''t somebody rob the house while she''s asleep? |
48778 | Wooden leg an''all? |
48778 | Would I have a fish''s tail? |
48778 | Yes; are n''t your doctors sharks? |
48778 | You do n''t, eh? |
48778 | _ We_ know all about the fairy circles, do n''t we, Migg? |
48778 | _ Why_ do you think a mermaid is like an automobile? |
48778 | After a moment the scene faded away, when the queen asked with another smile:"Are you satisfied?" |
48778 | Again the cave rang with merry laughter, and as it died away Trot said:"May I see your scales, please? |
48778 | Ai n''t I likely to get stiffened up with all this dampness?" |
48778 | Am I right, or do you think I am wrong?" |
48778 | And are they green and purple and pink, like Cap''n Bill said?" |
48778 | And is n''t that Princess Clia? |
48778 | And then he asked:"Does your queen live here?" |
48778 | And who''d ever think that awful creature Zog owned such a splendid castle, and kept his prisoners in such lovely rooms?" |
48778 | Are the sea devils their cousins?" |
48778 | Are you ready and willing to follow me?" |
48778 | But now Queen Aquareine advanced to a position in front of their captor and said:"Tell me, Zog; why have you trapped us and brought us here?" |
48778 | Ca n''t you trust to our good friend the queen?" |
48778 | Can you sing?" |
48778 | Did you see him when he was alive, Cap''n Bill?" |
48778 | Do n''t you s''pose all these gold roses and things were made under water?" |
48778 | Do n''t you think it''s rather cheeky an''unbrotherly, Trot?" |
48778 | Eh, Trot?" |
48778 | Have you fairies nothing that is new to show me?" |
48778 | How do they feel?" |
48778 | How far do you think we have already come, Cap''n?" |
48778 | How would you like for luncheon some oysters on the half shell, clam broth, shrimp salad, broiled turtle steak and watermelon?" |
48778 | How''s your memory, Cap''n Bill?" |
48778 | I hope you are quite well?" |
48778 | I wonder if they''re any happier than they were before?" |
48778 | Is n''t it splendid, Merla?" |
48778 | Is n''t it, now?" |
48778 | It''s curious to talk about feet when we have n''t any feet, is n''t it?" |
48778 | Jump in, clothes an''all?" |
48778 | Mermaids, eh?" |
48778 | Neither spoke for a time, but finally Cap''n Bill asked in a timid voice:"Had n''t we better go back, ma''am?" |
48778 | Or do n''t you know enough to be civil when you meet a neighbor?" |
48778 | Shall we go in?" |
48778 | Shall we make Sacho king?" |
48778 | She entered from the doorway that connected the two rooms, and said:"Is n''t it pretty, Cap''n? |
48778 | So I at once sent for Dr. Shark--""Are all your doctors sharks?" |
48778 | That is n''t so bad, is it?" |
48778 | The queen smiled, and said to Trot:"What is your opinion, my dear?" |
48778 | Then he raised his head above the water and asked:"Is it peace, or war, Muffruff?" |
48778 | Then, suddenly becoming grave, he asked:"How''bout my rheumatics, ma''am? |
48778 | Trot and Cap''n Bill followed, with Clia, and the child asked:"What island are we near?" |
48778 | Trot, being astonished at this sight, asked:"Did n''t you take all of you when you went to the cavern, Anko?" |
48778 | Was n''t it funny at dinner time to see the way they slid around with the plates?" |
48778 | Were you alive, then?" |
48778 | What are you doing down here?" |
48778 | What do you advise, sir?" |
48778 | What do you say, Cap''n Joe?" |
48778 | What say you, comrades? |
48778 | When he had gone, Trot said:"Are n''t you glad to find your brother again, Cap''n Bill?" |
48778 | When the noise finally stopped the leader turned to his visitors and, waving his baton toward them, asked:"Well, what do you think of that?" |
48778 | Where?" |
48778 | Who is Zog?" |
48778 | Why should we be crushed?" |
48778 | You see, Trot, we''re in consider''ble of a bad mess, an''if we ever live to tell the tale--""Why not, Cap''n?" |
48778 | You would n''t like that, would you?" |
48778 | [ Illustration: TROT]"S''pose they know how to swim, Cap''n Bill?" |
48778 | [ Illustration]"A weapon, ma''am?" |
48778 | [ Illustration]"Do you know what Zog intends to do to us next?" |
48778 | cried Trot;"why, you ca n''t build a fire in the water, can you?" |
48778 | do you s''pose there were ever any giants in that cave?" |
48778 | exclaimed Trot, raising herself by a flirt of her pink- scaled tail and a wave of her fins;"is n''t it dreadful hot here?" |
48778 | exclaimed the first fish which had spoken;"must we stand this insulting language-- and from a person to whom we have never been introduced?" |
48778 | said Cap''n Bill, in excitement,"you ai n''t thinkin''o''doin''such a fool thing, are you?" |
48778 | said Trot, astonished;"how stuck up they are, are n''t they?" |
48778 | what do you think? |
35920 | A mer- child? |
35920 | Addy? 35920 Am I doing it right?" |
35920 | And Chatteris? |
35920 | And Miss Glendower? |
35920 | And Miss Waters went? |
35920 | And anyhow, why do they take us? 35920 And besides after all, you know, why should you----?" |
35920 | And do n''t you have_ tea_? |
35920 | And hairdressing? |
35920 | And has he found out yet----"That she''s a mermaid? 35920 And he does n''t?" |
35920 | And if one must n''t have''em, why should one know about''em and be worried by them? 35920 And is she really going to stay with you all the summer?" |
35920 | And now? |
35920 | And out? |
35920 | And she really has... a tail? |
35920 | And that is really what you came for? |
35920 | And that way? |
35920 | And that''s why-- in the old time----? |
35920 | And that? |
35920 | And the aunts? |
35920 | And the other young man? |
35920 | And then-- But how can he? |
35920 | And what else was there for me to do? |
35920 | And what have you been talking about so long? |
35920 | And what then? |
35920 | And what was_ I_ authorised to do? 35920 And yet----?" |
35920 | And----? |
35920 | And----? |
35920 | Anything wrong? |
35920 | Are you prepared to be as intricate as that? |
35920 | As you do? |
35920 | Aunts? |
35920 | Back? |
35920 | Books? |
35920 | But I saw him only at a distance, you know,said the Sea Lady; and then,"And so he is engaged to Miss Glendower? |
35920 | But are you sure? |
35920 | But did he----? |
35920 | But did you really just come----? |
35920 | But do you really mean----? |
35920 | But do you-- do you want him back? |
35920 | But how did the story come about? |
35920 | But how do you tell when it''s Sunday? |
35920 | But how--? |
35920 | But how--? |
35920 | But surely!--what else----? |
35920 | But what else_ could_ I do? |
35920 | But what''s he done? |
35920 | But what? |
35920 | But why reason about it? 35920 But why-- why should the mask of death be beautiful? |
35920 | But you''re not going to let it drop? |
35920 | But, after all, what is the good of talking in this way? |
35920 | But--struggled Adeline,"is it never put out?" |
35920 | Ca n''t it be stopped? |
35920 | Chatteris? |
35920 | Come to think of it,he said,"it''s a rather complicated matter to explain----""To a being without one?" |
35920 | Did you see Miss Glendower? |
35920 | Did_ he_ laugh? |
35920 | Do n''t they make a handsome couple? |
35920 | Do we? 35920 Do you think I''ve been in Folkestone two days doing nothing?" |
35920 | Do you think we''re going to make our public believe anything simply because it''s true? 35920 Do you want him back?" |
35920 | Do you want him back? |
35920 | Does he see-- the other lady? |
35920 | Does he-- ask to be released? |
35920 | Does he? |
35920 | Does that constitute the hundred relatives? |
35920 | Down here? 35920 Dreamer....""Other dreams....""What other dreams could she mean?" |
35920 | Eh? |
35920 | Eh? |
35920 | Everybody has a soul? |
35920 | Except me? |
35920 | Fin and all? |
35920 | For example,he tested,"are there-- by any chance-- other dreams?" |
35920 | For example? |
35920 | Forgiveness? |
35920 | Gord bless you, sir, laugh? 35920 Had any golf lately?" |
35920 | Has Miss Glendower? |
35920 | Have n''t I been telling you? |
35920 | Have you ever looked at eyes through a hole in a sheet? |
35920 | Have you seen the lady? |
35920 | He cannot-- What can he do with her? 35920 He did n''t see you----?" |
35920 | He did n''t write to her about Miss Waters? |
35920 | He has written to you? |
35920 | He says there is one? |
35920 | How can I put it? 35920 How can I say, Mr. Melville? |
35920 | How can I, till I know what it is? 35920 How can we?" |
35920 | How could he? |
35920 | How do I know she is Death? |
35920 | How do they live? |
35920 | How do things stand? 35920 How do you know?" |
35920 | How should I know how it takes him? 35920 How should_ I_ know?" |
35920 | How was_ I_ to know? |
35920 | How''s Paris? |
35920 | How''s the fishing? |
35920 | How? |
35920 | How? |
35920 | How? |
35920 | How? |
35920 | How? |
35920 | I could go around with you in my bath chair? |
35920 | I may take it to the_ Gunfire_ then? |
35920 | I suppose the aunts will tell him? |
35920 | Imagination? |
35920 | In London? |
35920 | In a paper? |
35920 | Is it always golden? |
35920 | Is it mine? |
35920 | Is n''t it a little late in the day to drop it? |
35920 | Is n''t she devoted to him? |
35920 | Is n''t there a smuggling interest to conciliate? |
35920 | Is that charity? |
35920 | Is the young lady in the purple robe who----"Who carried a book? |
35920 | Is there conceivably another way-- another sort of life-- some other aspect----? |
35920 | Is there? |
35920 | It ca n''t be anything wrong? |
35920 | It is n''t as if he had brought about this crisis? |
35920 | Keep_ what_ dark? |
35920 | Look here, Micklethwaite,I said,"why is everybody avoiding that man over there? |
35920 | Look here,said my cousin Melville,"what am I supposed to do? |
35920 | May I ask what you are going to do? |
35920 | Miss Glendower didn''t----? |
35920 | Miss Glendower not well, then? |
35920 | Miss Glendower? |
35920 | Miss Waters? |
35920 | More to do? |
35920 | Mr. Melville, is just precisely where you come into this business? |
35920 | Mr. Melville,she said, innocently,"what_ is_ a soul?" |
35920 | Mr. Melville,she said,"what is a union of souls?" |
35920 | No coming back? |
35920 | No? |
35920 | Not necessarily, is it? 35920 On Miss Waters?" |
35920 | Oom-- what is it? |
35920 | Or a weak will? |
35920 | Prove what? |
35920 | Quite bright? |
35920 | Say you will go? |
35920 | Seedy? |
35920 | She cares for him? |
35920 | She has means? |
35920 | She has means? |
35920 | She hints of these vague better dreams, she whispers of a way----"_ What_ way? |
35920 | She may have had experiences? |
35920 | She really means that canvassing? |
35920 | She said that? |
35920 | She seemed-- And is he very much in love with her? |
35920 | Should n''t what? |
35920 | Suppose he wants to drown himself? |
35920 | Sure? |
35920 | Sure? |
35920 | Surely, dear, you do n''t mind? |
35920 | Talked to her?... 35920 That it is so?" |
35920 | That----? |
35920 | The deeps? |
35920 | The mater sent for you? |
35920 | The mermaid? |
35920 | The other gentleman who----"_ No!_"There was no one----"But several mornings ago? |
35920 | The young man who carried-- who rescued me? |
35920 | There''s something,he said deliberately,"that Mrs. Bunting does n''t seem disposed----""What can it be?" |
35920 | This sort of thing? |
35920 | To her? |
35920 | To see what life was like on land here?... 35920 Understand what?" |
35920 | Undine? |
35920 | Was there ever a more ungracious, ungrateful, unreasonable creature than this same Chatteris? 35920 We''ve got perhaps a little more serious than--"he said doubtfully, and then,"What you have been saying-- did you exactly mean----?" |
35920 | Well, is n''t there? |
35920 | Well, why not? |
35920 | Well? |
35920 | Well? |
35920 | Well? |
35920 | Well? |
35920 | Well? |
35920 | Well? |
35920 | Well? |
35920 | Whaddyer talking about? |
35920 | What are they about? |
35920 | What are you doing away from Hythe at this time? |
35920 | What are you going to do? |
35920 | What broke out? |
35920 | What do such things mean? 35920 What do you mean-- other dreams?" |
35920 | What do you mean? 35920 What do you think of it?" |
35920 | What do you wear? |
35920 | What does Miss Glendower say? |
35920 | What else can she be? |
35920 | What is a great issue? |
35920 | What is it? 35920 What is she?" |
35920 | What is this being, who has come between him and all the realities of life? 35920 What name, sir?" |
35920 | What other woman? |
35920 | What precisely do you mean to do if you get him? 35920 What sort of people are they here?" |
35920 | What the deuce,he said, addressing his inkpot in plaintive tones,"does_ that_ matter?" |
35920 | What things unseen? |
35920 | What were people up to? |
35920 | What''s he done? |
35920 | What''s his attitude? |
35920 | What''s his attitude? |
35920 | What''s one more or less of these ha''penny fever rags? |
35920 | What''s the objection to her? |
35920 | What''s this about a mermaid? |
35920 | What''s this about a mermaid? |
35920 | What, altogether? |
35920 | What? |
35920 | What? |
35920 | What? |
35920 | What? |
35920 | What_ does_ grip your imagination? |
35920 | What_ does_ she want? |
35920 | What_ is_ the difference? |
35920 | Whatever for? |
35920 | Where are the others? |
35920 | Where did she go, Ded? |
35920 | Where''s Miss Waters? |
35920 | Where''s your cigarette? |
35920 | Where''s-- the principal gentleman? |
35920 | Where? |
35920 | Where? |
35920 | Where? |
35920 | Where? |
35920 | Which house? |
35920 | Who is that Miss Waters? |
35920 | Who is this Miss Waters? |
35920 | Who is this Miss Waters? |
35920 | Who_ is_ this other woman? |
35920 | Whom? |
35920 | Why do n''t you ask the lady herself? |
35920 | Why do we? |
35920 | Why do you tell me? |
35920 | Why do you want to know? |
35920 | Why has he done this to me? |
35920 | Why not come down to- night? |
35920 | Why not? |
35920 | Why should n''t I know? |
35920 | Why should n''t I,she asked,"if I want to?" |
35920 | Why? |
35920 | Why? |
35920 | Will you tell her I''m here? |
35920 | Wo n''t they tell you? |
35920 | Would you? |
35920 | Yes, I know, but how? |
35920 | Yes,he admitted,"but I thought_ your_ little movement was to be something more than party politics and self- advancement----?" |
35920 | Yes-- Do n''t you call your little ones----? |
35920 | Yes? |
35920 | Yes? |
35920 | Yes? |
35920 | Yes? |
35920 | Yes? |
35920 | You are contesting Hythe? |
35920 | You are going back? |
35920 | You back? |
35920 | You do n''t mean you''ve called on her? |
35920 | You do n''t want a career? |
35920 | You have seen and talked to her? |
35920 | You here? |
35920 | You know the case for the plaintiff? |
35920 | You know-- all? |
35920 | You left them all right at Sandgate? |
35920 | You mean,she insisted,"you mean----?" |
35920 | You mean,she said, with a pale face, half awakened to a new thought,"the way is----?" |
35920 | You mean----? |
35920 | You mean? |
35920 | You think he can not marry this-- this being who has come among us? |
35920 | You understand clearly she is a properly constituted mermaid with a real physical tail? |
35920 | You understand? |
35920 | You''ll take me ashore? |
35920 | You''re sure of it? |
35920 | You''ve got your arguments? |
35920 | You_ mean_ to save me? |
35920 | Your life, I tell you, is a dream-- a dream, and you ca n''t wake out of it----"And if so, why do you tell me? |
35920 | _ There are better dreams._"What dreams? |
35920 | _ Very_ much? |
35920 | _ What_ little ones? |
35920 | A tall young man with fair-- rather curlyish you might say-- hair, was n''t it? |
35920 | Adeline has straight eyes and clear eyes and fine eyes, and all the difference there can be, what is it? |
35920 | After all, I never saw Adeline at all until after all these things were over, and what is she now? |
35920 | All this work, all this political stuff of hers? |
35920 | And Miss Glendower----?" |
35920 | And come to think of it, why_ should_ an unavoidable deficiency in a lady excuse one that can be avoided? |
35920 | And is it painful at all?" |
35920 | And now will you tell me, Mr. Melville, why should n''t Harry have her? |
35920 | And then, as it were pursuing them all,"Pip, pip,"and the hat and raised eyebrows of a Low Excursionist still anxious to know"What''s up?" |
35920 | And then, you know, the whisper:--"_ There are better dreams._""What dreams?" |
35920 | And then----? |
35920 | And why should I have to compete with her, because he-- because he does n''t know his own mind?" |
35920 | And why, if we choose to do so, and taste this life that passes and continues, as rain that falls to the ground, why should we not do it? |
35920 | Are you sure----?" |
35920 | Are you there?" |
35920 | Breezes and the spring tides.... And Miss Waters?" |
35920 | Bunting?" |
35920 | Bunting?" |
35920 | Bunting?" |
35920 | Bunting?" |
35920 | But I do not think he would have bolted from Sandgate until he had really got some more definite answer to the question,"_ What_ better dreams?" |
35920 | But about those saturated books and drowned scraps of paper, you say? |
35920 | But are you sure she will be in the way?" |
35920 | But if he does he''s clever----""Why?" |
35920 | But-- if he will not come back?" |
35920 | But----""Yes?" |
35920 | Chatteris----?" |
35920 | Chatteris?" |
35920 | Cheerful home, eh? |
35920 | Could any one not absolutely right be quite so clear and emphatic? |
35920 | Did he look back, I wonder? |
35920 | Do I look--? |
35920 | Do n''t you feel it? |
35920 | Do you hear,_ now_?" |
35920 | Eh? |
35920 | Eh?" |
35920 | For me she is death.... Only why have I seen her face? |
35920 | Had she really and deliberately foreshadowed for Chatteris some obscure and mystical submergence? |
35920 | Had she really said this thing and quite in this way? |
35920 | How can a whole life rush to a moment? |
35920 | How can he live with her? |
35920 | How can one answer when ladies talk in this way? |
35920 | How can she breathe under water? |
35920 | How can we know? |
35920 | How can you expect me to do anything of that sort to- night?" |
35920 | How do we know what she is? |
35920 | How do you think we can boil a kettle?" |
35920 | How it''ll all end----""But why has he come to the Métropole?" |
35920 | How? |
35920 | How? |
35920 | I heard her....""And then?" |
35920 | I suppose-- What do you think of her?" |
35920 | If she comes to do mischief, why should n''t she do mischief without making me an accomplice?" |
35920 | Is it finer? |
35920 | Is n''t that enough?" |
35920 | It''s a matter of the imagination----""For him?" |
35920 | Look on-- until things ended in a catastrophe? |
35920 | Melville?... |
35920 | Mermaids? |
35920 | Mr. Bunting remarked with a knowing air,"So you saw him then?" |
35920 | Only very dimly he suspects----""Yes?" |
35920 | Only-- as I was explaining to Mrs. Bunting, one must consider one''s circumstances-- how_ can_ one_ hope_ to keep anything nice under water? |
35920 | Perhaps after all there are things beyond our reason, perhaps after all desire has a claim on us?" |
35920 | Pretty mess all round, eh?" |
35920 | See?... |
35920 | She had brought up a son and two daughters, and besides she had brought down a husband to"My dear, how was_ I_ to know?" |
35920 | She has been asking----""To help?" |
35920 | So I made a mistake?" |
35920 | Something there was in the nature of a caress, I believe, and then I incline to fancy she said"Well?" |
35920 | Still-- one has the two points of view.... You have come up from Sandgate?" |
35920 | Stuck?" |
35920 | Suppose they were not anxious and afraid.... And what does she care for the condition of the poor, after all? |
35920 | Surely Mr. Flange may do what he can to make religion attractive?" |
35920 | THE SEA LADY[ Illustration:"Am I doing it right?" |
35920 | The Wampachers are sending for a Bishop who used to be his schoolmaster----""No stone unturned, eh?" |
35920 | The difference? |
35920 | The other?" |
35920 | They''re all chasing round saying,''Where is this woman- fish sort of thing? |
35920 | Those elements of your chemists----""Yes?" |
35920 | To us who watch you----""You watch us?" |
35920 | Unless we are to believe there is no reason in things, why should this-- impossibility, be beautiful to any one anyhow? |
35920 | Was there not some more plausible interpretation, some phrase that would lie out bridgeways from the plausible to the truth? |
35920 | Was this one of these occasions? |
35920 | Well, why ca n''t she see that she ought to release him for his own good?" |
35920 | What ARE we to do?" |
35920 | What am I to do?" |
35920 | What are you? |
35920 | What can she give you? |
35920 | What does he dream of?... |
35920 | What does he expect?..." |
35920 | What does she mean?" |
35920 | What does the man_ want_? |
35920 | What else is there?" |
35920 | What if she is a mermaid? |
35920 | What is it?" |
35920 | What is she trying to do? |
35920 | What is she? |
35920 | What is the condition of the poor? |
35920 | What is there about her, or me, that has pulled me so astray? |
35920 | What is there about her--? |
35920 | What is this something about Miss Waters?" |
35920 | What life could they have in common?" |
35920 | What other dreams can there be? |
35920 | What was she going to do? |
35920 | What_ is_ it?" |
35920 | Who is she?" |
35920 | Why am I pulled about? |
35920 | Why are they bound? |
35920 | Why are they letting life slip by them? |
35920 | Why have I been asked to come?" |
35920 | Why have I heard her voice?..." |
35920 | Why her''s and not Adeline''s? |
35920 | Why not?" |
35920 | Why should it be finer to see beauty where it is fatal to us to see it? |
35920 | Why should n''t he have her?" |
35920 | Why should reason and justice carry everything? |
35920 | Why should we abstain?" |
35920 | Why should you come, why should any one outside come-- into this world?" |
35920 | Why should-- this being-- come into my life, as she has done, if it_ is_ so simple? |
35920 | Why-- if one has n''t one----?" |
35920 | Why? |
35920 | Yes, but just what_ is_ everything?" |
35920 | You can see her doing it here.... What is she seeking? |
35920 | You do n''t happen to know the nature of her disablement?" |
35920 | You do n''t know what''s the matter, Melville?" |
35920 | You do n''t mean-- positively, in our terrestrial fashion, you know-- to marry him?" |
35920 | You_ are_ a friend of Harry''s?" |
35920 | [ Illustration:"Why not?"] |
35920 | _ Why_ is she very beautiful?" |
35920 | and then less generally,"What''s up_''ere_?" |
35920 | he cried,"if these dreams are for Chatteris, why should she tell me? |
35920 | said Melville,"what?" |
35920 | said Mrs. Bunting to Mabel,"what_ are_ we to do?" |
