37883Have your sins broken your heart?
37883He looked at me and said:"Are you broke this morning, or too stingy to drink, or what is the matter?"
37883He said,"What about your wife-- if you knew your wife was going to starve, would you gamble?"
37883He said,"What wilt thou have me do?"
37883He said:"How are you going to drink when your partners have quit drinking?"
37883Holcombe:_ Will you please go and see my son L., and try to persuade him to live a better life?
37883How antagonistic are the ways of God and those of men?

37883How can I get out of this life?"
37883How can I quit it?

37883How do I know it?
37883How is your family, especially your sweet little daughter?
37883How would you like to get back into bondage and darkness where you were?
37883How, then, in the name of God, can a man keep himself from forgetting the things he reads or hears from the Bible?
37883I asked him, why?
37883I said"What is the matter with him?"
37883I said,"Brother Holcombe, what shall I do if I quit gambling?
37883I said:"What is the matter with him?"
37883I say,"Why do n''t you come up to the Mission?
37883I then said,''What is the matter with you?
37883I understood him to say,''Does Mr. Holcombe live here?''
37883I''ve borne it all for thee; what hast thou borne for me?"
37883If he is past God''s mercy-- and I can not believe that-- will you not see what can be done for the little ones?
37883If you have, do n''t you know how it stings you deeper for a man to mistreat or strike him than yourself?
37883Is it not so?
37883Is it possible that he is to be lost?
37883Is it too good to be true?
37883Is n''t God good to us?
37883Is that your feeling, my brother?
37883Is this not good news?
37883Like the murderers of Jesus when convicted by this power, he cries out,"What must I do to be saved?"
37883May I ask you to ask the Great Controller of us all to give me strength to overcome this habit?
37883Mrs. Clark said,"Ca n''t you pray yourself?"
37883Nay, do you not know now some who are traveling this ruinous pathway?
37883Now what does that word"daily"mean in this connection?
37883Now you must enjoy the pleasures of life while you are young?"
37883Now, I will ask you, could God show His concern for us in a more striking and convincing way than in the_ giving_ of His Son to ignominy and death?
37883Now, do you not call that a power which can bring to pass such effects as this?
37883Now, do you not find that if you do what you find in the Bible, then the Bible becomes sweeter and sweeter to you?
37883Now, do you not know all about what that means?
37883Now, let me ask, have we all who profess to be Christians this meek spirit and character?
37883Now, need I stop here to prove that any of you are sinners?
37883Now, you who have been saved here, I want to ask you: What are you doing for others?
37883O man, what will you do with eternity,_ eternity_, if you go thither unprepared?
37883Often in my loneliness and sorrow my lips would cry out,''How can I endure this life any longer?''
37883Oh, are you afraid to venture?
37883Oh, have you not found your tongue to be one of the most troublesome things you have to contend with?
37883Oh, wo n''t you come?
37883Oh, wo n''t you try to help him all you can?
37883Or are we crabbed and cross and discontented and complaining against those who cross our wills and against the lot that God has given to us in life?
37883Or"To be pitied are they that mourn?"
37883Or, if you are too full of other cases, will you not get some one of your workers to try to lead him back to good paths?
37883Pretty soon she came in and said,"What in the world is the matter with you?
37883Say, what for, if not for you and all sinners?
37883So much has been done, and so many prayers offered for him, wo n''t you please, at your next opportunity, find him and talk and pray with him?
37883Somebody met me about four o''clock in the evening, and asked:"Where are you going?"
37883The day before Christmas my wife wrote me,"Why do n''t you come home?
37883The driver said to me,''Does this coffin belong here?''
37883Then how can you expect to know anything of God?
37883Then, there is a judgment coming, is there?
37883There, now, you are already comforted a little bit, are you not?
37883They asked me why?
37883Think of you?
37883To the inhabitant of the city, what could be more pleasing than the freedom and freshness and beauty of the country?
37883Was not this so with_ you_?
37883Was that the lesson which his long and extended experience taught him?
37883Was this a plan to get away into a"far country"where he might turn again to sin?
37883Was this charity or placing much faith in God''s word?
37883We often speak of you, and the question is often asked,"Will he come and see us this year and hold another mission meeting?"
37883Well, does Jesus make provision for this?
37883Well, how is the Mission getting along?
37883Well, well, who would have thought it?
37883What about swearing?
37883What are you doing?
37883What could be more impressive and what more expressive of the estimate set upon the man and his work?

37883Where could he go?
37883Where do you stand?
37883Where were you last night?
37883Who but a true friend that had your best interest at heart would have written such a letter as this last one from you?

37883Who was there that loved him?
37883Why does God, in so many ways, express His love for sinners?
37883Why not have some good books to read?

37883Will you look after him as much as you can and if he should fall, help him up?
37883Will you not believe it and come to Him for safety?
37883Will you not look him up at once?
37883Will you not send after him, and try to get him to go to- night?
37883Wo n''t you come and go with us?
37883Wo n''t you go now immediately and wrestle for and with him in prayer?
37883Would you have God''s peace within?
37883You are going to take the responsibility of stopping Him, are you?"
37883You have begun with faith, have you not?
37883_ Dear Mr. Holcombe:_ Will you please come out to my home on Third street in the morning as early as you can?
37883_ How_ am I to seek God?
37883do you mean to say that Paul, the great Apostle, was in danger of being led away by the appetites of the body?
10134''Cultural and social values of education,''he called that, did n''t he? 10134 A box supper,"asked J.W.,"or a bean- bag party?"
10134A home? 10134 All this is all right,"Joe was saying,"for those who need it, but what''s the good of it all to us?
10134Americanized, you mean?
10134And that means you are not only a Christian, but a Methodist? 10134 And yet missions are so wonderful; so much more worth while than anything that is being done at home, do n''t you think?"
10134Because we were here first? 10134 But do n''t you find country people pretty hard to manage?
10134But do n''t you remember, J.W., what our commencement speaker said on that very point? 10134 But do you feel different, the way I do, J.W.?
10134But education is not a missionary monopoly, is it? 10134 But look at Delafield; how much does the melting pot melt here?"
10134But what about the religious influence of the University?
10134But what do you do, Marty, to make things happen? 10134 But what would you say was the first thing needed in the fight against the almost total illiteracy of the freedmen?"
10134But where does the money come from for all this? 10134 But, Mr. Drury, can any student borrow money from that fund?"
10134But, Pa Shenk,said J.W.,"do n''t you suppose the trouble here in Deep Creek is because you''re so near town?
10134Do n''t you know the only really workable financial way out?
10134Do n''t you think so?
10134Do n''t you think that much of the preaching, and all that, is pretty dull and tiresome? 10134 Do n''t you think that''s almost as good as the gospel of better bodies-- Joe''s gospel?"
10134Do the people really want our missionaries, or are we Protestants just shoving ourselves in? 10134 Do these boards supply all the money you need?"
10134Do you mean that the churches at home are not onto their job, if you''ll excuse the phrase?
10134Do you try to have something going on every night, and nearly every day, as Brother Drury does with us?
10134How can I help you? 10134 How did you know?"
10134How do you get time for your study and your sermons, then,queried J. W.,"if you''re on the go so much?"
10134How do you happen to know so much about the Board of Sunday Schools, J.W.?
10134How is that, son?
10134How long do you expect to be in town?
10134How long have we had a teacher- training class in our Sunday school?
10134How, for instance?
10134I should think,ventured J.W.,"that any old sort of education would serve; the first teachers had to begin at the bottom, did n''t they?"
10134I think work for the immigrant is so very interesting, do n''t you? 10134 I wonder if anybody else feels as I do,"he said,"about this League of ours?
10134I wonder if you know anything about Centenary Church?
10134IS HE NOT A MAN AND A BROTHER?
10134If all that you say is so-- and I believe it is, Mr. Tanner-- why should so many of the Mexicans hate the United States? 10134 If the people have no real use for the church, why do they support it?
10134Is n''t it going to make a difference with the work by and by, if you get so many natives into places of responsibility? 10134 Is one really larger than the other?"
10134Is our Christianity, as the Chinese get it, any advance on their own religion? 10134 Is that really so?"
10134Is that why you''ve been going to training school?
10134Is there no attempt of any sort on the part of Indians who are not Christians? 10134 J.W., old boy,"Joe asked one day, coming away from the pastor''s study,"have you ever by any chance observed Main Street?"
10134Jeannette,_ you_ know what I mean, do n''t you?
10134John Wesley Farwell, Jr.,said that young man to himself,"this thing is not your discovery-- but how does that bit of Keats''go?"
10134Let me see; did you say that the tithe is the fairest of all Christian financial schemes?
10134Marty, do you reckon these are all here for real Epworth League work, or does the Institute want anybody and everybody?
10134May I speak?
10134Me?
10134Meaning by that----?
10134Mr. Dulas,said Conover-- he had taken note of the name on the window,"you know the East Side pretty well, do you?
10134My beloved chum, how did you and I get time for our studies at Cartwright?
10134My, but that sounds great, Mr. Drury, does n''t it?
10134Now, is n''t it?
10134Oh, he does, does he?
10134Say, J.W.,said Joe, abruptly,"what''s the matter with me?
10134Say, Joe, if you think you could be a doctor,_ why not a missionary doctor? 10134 Say, Mr. Drury, it makes me sick, and, if I feel that way just to be pretending I''m a''Wop''for a week, how do you suppose the real aliens feel?
10134Sent?
10134Should it undertake to teach English, as that preacher taught Phil Khamis, you remember, Mr. Drury; or Americanization, or what?
10134So you noticed that, did you?
10134Tell me, Mr. Farwell,she asked,"were you in the Epworth League when you were at home?"
10134That is to say,Mr. Drury interpreted,"the less we taught them, the better?
10134That little old brick barn over in the East Bottoms? 10134 That''s all right,"said Marcia,"but what''s your special interest in the Institute?
10134That''s all very fine,interposed Marty,"but what about the rest of the world, J.W.?
10134Then,persisted J.W.,"how do you account for it?"
10134They do too,Marty asserted,"Why should n''t they?
10134They''re people, folks, are n''t they? 10134 This Institute idea seems to be everywhere,"said J.W., Sr., to the pastor,"but how did it get started?
10134We did? 10134 Well, J.W.,"Marty asked,"what''s the first thing we ought to think about for Mexico?"
10134Well, he is a thoroughbred, anyway; and do you notice how he is right up in front when there is anything doing? 10134 Well, what has all this to do,"asked J.W.,"with our church''s special work for the colored people?"
10134Well, what in particular do you mean?
10134Well, what''s the matter with that?
10134Well, why not, J.W.? 10134 Well,"his brother broke in, after a moment,"what''s this young John Wesley Methodist been doing?"
10134What I want to know is this: how do the Italians and the Poles get along together?
10134What can the church do?
10134What can the churches do?
10134What did you find out?
10134What do I do? 10134 What do you mean, J.W.?".
10134What do you think I want to get out of it? 10134 What do you think it did to mine?"
10134What do you think of the young folks who are here?
10134What ever brought it to Delafield?
10134What good are they all? 10134 What in the world brings you to Cartwright?"
10134What is it, Marty?
10134What of you two, now that your student occupation''s gone?
10134What sort of a voyage home did you have?
10134What was it?
10134What''s the matter with you all at once, J.W.?
10134Where did you get that story?
10134Where do you expect to find that work, Joe?
10134Where had you thought of sending me?
10134Which one is the larger?
10134Who told you I was to be looked on in the light of a World Almanac, my son? 10134 Who?
10134Why do they go there, when they could go to town about as easy?
10134Why do you say''Methodist college''? 10134 Why should anybody send you all the way from Philadelphia to Delafield just for that?"
10134Why should n''t you go?
10134Why should we Americans try to make Europeans understand us, unless we first try to understand them? 10134 Why, do you know what he did in the fall, when some of us told him we could n''t do much for missions?
10134Why?
10134Will I promise?
10134Will he get better?
10134Yes, I remember it; but what of it?
10134Yes, I see,Joe mused,"but just what is the Foundation''s duty, and how do you do it?"
10134Yes, but, Dad,put in J.W.,"what was the good of it if the lessons did n''t fit everybody?
10134Yes, we know that, do n''t we, J.W.?
10134Yes,said Alma,"and you know, I suppose, that the beginning of our Panama Mission was an Epworth League Institute enterprise?
10134Yes,said Marty, who wondered if Mr. Drury had forgotten their compact about J.W.,"but why limit ourselves to our present resources?
10134Yes?
10134You had n''t taken much interest in your future work before that?
10134You mean that we Americans ought to consider our work in China as temporary?
10134You mean,inquired J.W.,"that Hightower is like that?"
10134You remember when the people on upper Deep Creek used to come here to church, four miles or so? 10134 You say some people are going over to Fairfield?"
10134You say your wife was in school too?
10134You think you''ve been stringing me, do n''t you?
10134You''re not taken suddenly sick, are you? 10134 You''re not trying to say that our business men are crooks, are you, Joe?"
10134--"Who''s all right?"
10134All these people coming here and getting Americanized and assimilated and all that?"
10134Am I right?"
10134Am I right?"
10134And are n''t you a salesman?
10134And how could he be a missionary if he were not a Christian?
10134And my question is this: granting all that the church schools have done, is it worth all they cost to keep them up now; in our time, I mean?"
10134And that reminds me; do n''t let me go away without those books he wants, will you?"
10134And then, do n''t you remember I wrote last summer that I was spending two weeks at a school for rural ministers?"
10134And what do you think?
10134And what shall I say about the wedding?
10134And you mean that you were under the Freedmen''s Aid Society when you were going to school-- is that it?"
10134And, what do you think?
10134Are such people as these coming over to the United States right along?"
10134Are they Christianized?
10134Are they ready for it?"
10134Are they?"
10134Believe me?"
10134Besides, why should n''t I come to see you two, if I wish?
10134But anyway, home missions is rather commonplace, have n''t you noticed?"
10134But can a fellow make good just as a Christian in the same way I expect Marty Shenk to make good as a Christian preacher?"
10134But did you ever observe me?
10134But do you know which one of them all is the most interesting fellow I''ve met?"
10134But had it really paid?
10134But honestly, now, are you learning things you never knew before?"
10134But how was he to acquire the proper frame of mind?
10134But how would anybody go about getting him the chance?"
10134But if an old fogy may suggest something, why not forget all about the usual sort of welcome address?
10134But in the country?
10134But is all that worth my time for the next four years, studying subjects that would be no earthly good to me in business, in making a living, I mean?
10134But one day-- will you let me tell it here, all of you?
10134But still, if there had not been any local Chapter, there could have been no Institute, do n''t you see?
10134But the total of folly and evil was very great; could the church do anything to decrease it?
10134But was it worth all he had put into his vocation?
10134But we two have been pretty good chums so far, have n''t we?
10134But what do you mean by calling him average, if he''s such a keen judge of hardware?"
10134But what is it willing to do and able to do, and what will the town let it do?
10134But why did you never say anything to me about it when there was n''t any meeting coming?
10134But you''re sure you''re not offended?"
10134By the way,"he added,"what part of the country did you say you wanted young Farwell to see?"
10134CHAPTER VI"IS HE NOT A MAN AND A BROTHER?"
10134CHRIST AND THE EAST THIS EXPERIMENT TEACHETH--?
10134Ca n''t all of you see it?"
10134Ca n''t you see it too?
10134Ca n''t you write to him, or something?"
10134Can you see it, folks?
10134Carbrook''?"
10134Certainly it might not avail, but who would not venture if mayhap there might be cleansing of soul in the waters of Mother Ganges?
10134Cleaned up?
10134Conover?"
10134Could he show his visitor a little of missionary work in village environment?
10134Could it not be so put together as to make a true continuity, consistent and complete?
10134Descended, perhaps, from one of the band-- Deathless in story and song-- Who combed their long hair at Thermopylae''s pass?
10134Did people think that the kids in the primary and their mothers in ma''s class ought to study the same lesson?
10134Did they really hanker after the Institute, or had they come for reasons as trivial as his own?
10134Did you notice, by the way, that the speaker to- night never said''freedman''or mentioned slavery?
10134Do n''t you know that the big wholesale houses recruit their sales forces by spotting just such boys as your John Wesley Farwell may be?
10134Do n''t you think our church will be a long time financing the Every Day Doctrines on that system?"
10134Do n''t you think that''s just what America is?
10134Do n''t you think, Brother Drury, if more of the fellows knew what the real Sunday school work is they would take to it like colts to a bran mash?"
10134Do these people want what to them must seem a queer religion and a lot of strange ideas?"
10134Do you know much about them?"
10134Do you suppose anybody else feels that way?
10134Do you think I_ could_ be a Christian?"
10134Do you think it is already becoming a bit of the kingdom of God?
10134Do you think our Institute just happened, J.W.?"
10134Do you truly want to go?
10134Do_ you_ feel that way?
10134Does n''t that mean salesmen?
10134Does the combination interest you?"
10134Does the ten- year mark yet stand?"
10134Driver?"
10134Drury?"
10134Farwell?"
10134First, to start where you did, how is tithing easier than giving whenever you feel like giving?"
10134For instance, what do you get out of it, Marcia?"
10134Has he any objections to making a change-- to travel, for instance?"
10134Have n''t we always shared everything else, since away back?
10134Have n''t we some sort of duty to see that every young person in Delafield has a chance at first- hand, enjoyable, and decent play?"
10134He detested posing, but why would n''t it be worth something to have laymen report on missionary work?
10134He may have reason to hate some employer, but why hate the job?
10134He put the thing up to J.W., Sr."What''ll I say, dad?"
10134He''s no worse a Christian for having been right in the church ever since I put him in short dresses, are you, son?
10134How about it?"
10134How came it that we had that board with the long name-- Temperance, Prohibition, and Public Morals?
10134How did it happen that the church was busy with this and that and the other work?
10134How do they hook up to a proposition like that?"
10134How do they manage it?"
10134How do you know what an Institute is like?"
10134How much do you expect to need?"
10134How was the Christian message meeting all the dreary emptinesses and limitations of village life?
10134How''s the rest of the school?"
10134How_ do_ they do it, J.W.?"
10134I do remember something about your getting through, now you mention the fact, but why did n''t I receive an invitation?
10134I made a few discreet inquiries, discreet, that is, for me, and can you guess who that girl is?
10134I suppose you have no relation to the University, though,"Joe asked,"studies and all that?"
10134I thought I''d heard all that could be said about the devotional meeting; but did you get that scheme for leaders he sprung this morning?
10134I wo n''t tire you, Mr. Drury, will I?"
10134I wonder if it ever strikes you that being a sport, as you call it, is mostly being a nuisance to everybody?
10134I''ll do the best I can"; and then, regaining his composure,"Have you any idea as to the subject I''m supposed to talk about?"
10134I''m all for the church, and church people and church ways; why should n''t I be?
10134I''ve been going over what Phil Khamis said at the Morning Watch-- you remember?
10134If Mrs. Newell smiled as she watched them drive away, what of it?
10134If the furniture factory was a mixed blessing, what of the cannery?
10134If these children were educated by Hindus, would not the resulting rise in their condition come just the same?"
10134In what other place do farmers and artisans, country women and city women meet on so nearly equal terms?
10134Is it a church affair?"
10134Is it anything I can do team- work on?"
10134Is it that way with you, J.W.?
10134Is it the place?
10134Is n''t ours the first move?"
10134Is n''t that the church''s affair?
10134Is that ago?"
10134Is that also something that the people are so used to that they do n''t notice it any more?"
10134Is that the Methodist theory?"
10134It is a Methodist college; but is there anything the matter with that?"
10134It must be Methodist money, of course; who puts it up?"
10134It was a League Institute, was n''t it?"
10134It was like the Squeers school in''Nicholas Nickleby,''''Member?
10134Jeannette''s reaction was quicker than thinking;"Would you go half way around the world just for that?"
10134Looks as though we''ve got to bear down hard on English, do n''t you think?"
10134Marty said,"Maybe so; but what?"
10134My brave John Wesley, do you remember your college sociology and economics and civics and all the rest?
10134Not much we did, and anyway, do you think I''d accept that sort of help?
10134Now, do you know how I feel?
10134Or is it that we ought to have a big force to prepare for the long future of our work in Mexico?"
10134Or is their religion all right, if they would work it as we hope they may work the Christian program?"
10134Or the people?
10134Or what?"
10134Or, if you conclude that it seems to be going in ways that lead very far from the Kingdom, do you think it might possess any Kingdom possibilities?
10134Ought we to scatter our forces?
10134Please, may n''t we hear from John Wesley Farwell, Jr., about_ his_ kind of a call?"
10134Rather curious that I should be here talking about it with you the very next morning, is n''t it?
10134Remember?
10134Schools are good for any land, do n''t you think, Mr. Drury?
10134Should n''t the church be a peacemaker, instead of a trouble- maker?"
10134So he asked,"What else is he doing that''s making a difference?"
10134So he said,"But why is a church college, anyway?"
10134So how could they get together?"
10134So you''re of Spartan birth?
10134THIS EXPERIMENT TEACHETH--?
10134Take your old friend Martin Luther Shenk, J.W.--do you know that he''s working at this very difficulty?
10134That''s not so very commonplace, would you say so?"
10134The big reason, though-- I wonder if you''ll understand it?"
10134The earlier ones have made their contributions; why may not the later ones also bring gifts for our common treasure?"
10134The leader had asked for answers to the question"Why did I come to the Institute?"
10134The mother had a moment aside with the minister, and there was a touch of anxiety in her question:"Do you think the Institute helped my boy?"
10134The others exchanged meaning glances, and his father asked,"Then you did n''t get my second letter at San Francisco?"
10134The pastor thought he did, but he merely asked,"Who?"
10134The woman?
10134Then Marty thought of a few books that he had left at home--"And-- hello, J.W., are you listening?
10134Then he asked the company,"Just where have these missionary infants been sent?"
10134Then how could it be a school?"
10134They have to send somebody; why should n''t they pick on you some time?"
10134They''ve got to do the adjusting, have n''t they?"
10134This new adventure of his boy''s; what would it mean to the Experiment?
10134Trouble is, what am I going to say?"
10134Want me to prove it?"
10134Was it as disjointed as it seemed?
10134Was that a symptom of something?
10134Well, how''d you like to go out to the farm before you come down here?
10134Well, what do you say if I turn fashionable for once and come down for the week- end-- not this week, but next?"
10134What about the world that has not even the beginning of Christian knowledge?"
10134What about this atheism and superstition and ignorance; is n''t it just a non- Christian civilization with Christian labels on some parts of it?"
10134What are we up to, us three?"
10134What could they make by it?"
10134What did you find out, and what could you do about it?"
10134What did you say your other name was?"
10134What do you know of Main Street?"
10134What else?"
10134What for, I''d like to know?
10134What for?"
10134What if the church by its very nature must be like that?
10134What makes the thing the papers call''labor unrest''?"
10134What was it all for?
10134What was the church doing with a Book Concern?
10134What''s the hurry just now?
10134What''s the matter with so many country churches, nowadays?"
10134What''s the matter with your being a Christian?"
10134What''s the use of holding meetings when you know nobody''s coming except people that were converted before our present pastor was born?"
10134What''s to stop us from taking a look at this League fellowship hour we''re invited to, and getting a light lunch?
10134What''s wrong?
10134Where were the boys and girls of even a dozen years ago?
10134Where''s the money to come from?"
10134Why a Board of Hospitals and Homes?
10134Why a Deaconess Board, even though deaconess work happened to be merciful and gentle and Christlike?
10134Why did you never think to ask me that question before?"
10134Why do n''t you get a real traveling job, and go about the world looking things over for us, old man?"
10134Why not Marty?
10134Why not concentrate?"
10134Why not say something of the whole program of our church as it affects our colored people?
10134Why not?
10134Why not?
10134Why not?
10134Why should a church be occupied with all this medley?
10134Why should he be, since he was expecting to go into business?
10134Why should he pay to help build a new church, when he''s got to move the first of March?
10134Why should it be so distracted from its main purpose, to be a Jack of all trades?
10134Why should it open its doors and train its workers and spend its money in persistent response to every imaginable human appeal?
10134Why should n''t I be as keen on my preparation as he is on his, when we''re going out to the same work?"
10134Why should n''t we do it here in our little churches?"
10134Will he let you go to the Institute too?"
10134Will you come over and speak for us?"
10134Will you look at those pennants?
10134Will you?"
10134Wo n''t I be somebody?
10134Wo n''t you get''em for me and bring them along?"
10134Would Marty''s preaching match his community work?
10134Would each district group please get together at once, and select some one to represent the group on this council?
10134Would the result be worth what he was putting into the venture?
10134Would you be content to call a one- room shack home, and live as the plantation hand lives?
10134You did n''t notice any signs of homesickness, did you?"
10134You reminded me of the commencement address; I''ll ask you if you remember Children''s Day?
10134You want to come to your work as fit as they make''em, do n''t you?"
10134You who will make up the rank and file of the Christian army in the next twenty- five years-- do you know what you are?
10134You, like a Hermes so lissome and strong, Fresh from the master Praxiteles''hand?
10134_ And in the geography and economics and sociology of the kingdom of God?
10134_ Are_ you sick?"
10134admitting that for preachers and teachers and lawyers and doctors it was necessary, but what use could it be in business?
10134agreed, vigorously,"and we''re proud of you; are n''t we, Marty?
10134and where the whole families that once filled the place?
10134and whispered,"Shall I tell why I came?"
10134asked,"are you happy or miserable, or both?"
10134called,"will you come over here a minute?"
10134commented,"is n''t that what you came for?"
10134or did they think they could fit the same lesson to everybody by the different notes they put into the Quarterlies?"
10134put it up to him:"What is at the bottom of it all, MacPherson?
10134the Mexicans?"
10134there was graduated from the Primary into the Junior Department?"
10134wanted to know,"that they are not really American citizens?"
10134what the Institute really is?"
10134where the children who began their Sunday school career in the little recess back of the curtain?
10134will find it too poky and preachy?"
6806''How long have you been married?'' 6806 A debt?"
6806A sixfold murderer, you said?
6806A woman who lives in a cottage covered with clematis?
6806About Antony and the Hallam estate?
6806About John, father?
6806Ah, John; could you not spare the flying? 6806 Am I selfish, father?"
6806And Bob is dead?
6806And I, Richard; am I not happy, also? 6806 And Wesleyans and Methodists are the same?"
6806And did you sleep, Martha?
6806And have to help the deficiency?
6806And if not?
6806And if they spoil t''horn instead o''making t''spoon, what then, Eltham?
6806And my brother?
6806And thou is proud o''being the daughter o''such land?
6806And yet Bingley and Laycock swore that Ben had his working- clothes on?
6806And you love me, Phyllis?
6806And you think that the man really believed himself to be forgiven by God?
6806And you, Phyllis?
6806And you?
6806Are you not going with them?
6806Are you sure of that?
6806Ay, ay; but there''s a lass between''em now-- what do you make o''that?
6806Ay? 6806 Because?"
6806Ben has quite got over his trouble?
6806But Houston himself was among the wounded, was he not?
6806But how came Chrysostom to find a name for John Wesley''s followers?
6806But how can you find rational pleasure in spinning round like a teetotum in a room of eighty degrees temperature?
6806But how shall we know if the love be worthy?
6806But is not this doctrine specially a Methodist one?
6806But reflect-- a quarrel becomes a duel here very readily-- dare you provoke such a possibility?
6806But where was ta a''day, Bingley? 6806 But, son Richard,"was the answer,"what kind of men build up new States and lead the van of the onward march?
6806Can I trust Ben?
6806Can he bring a wool- comber''s suit and apron, and be at the gates, here, with- his tax- cart in a couple of hours?
6806Dat''s de reason,--Miss Phill--''whar you going good news? 6806 Did Laycock swear to that?"
6806Did Master John answer?
6806Did Master Richard say''go away,''Harriet?
6806Did Richard say''accident?'' 6806 Did he meet any one he knew?"
6806Did n''t he? 6806 Did ta?
6806Did they listen to you?
6806Did you hear him call me?
6806Did you look-- at the outside of it, I mean-- Harriet?
6806Did you lose many men, John?
6806Did you notice Richard?
6806Did you sleep well in Wesley''s chamber?
6806Did you think so, also, Harriet?
6806Do n''t I? 6806 Do n''t you think she ought to send for them?"
6806Do you fear that uncle will object to your marriage with Richard?
6806Do you not owe society something?
6806Do you not think, uncle, that Protestants should be as strict regarding personal holiness as Catholics?
6806Do you really mean such a kindness?
6806Do you really think, Phyllis, that angels care about our earthly loves?
6806Do you think it a sin to save souls out of church? 6806 Do you think, then, that if he had lived before the Reformation he might have founded an order of extreme rigor, say, like La Trappe?"
6806Does Methodism believe that this intercourse is still possible?
6806Does ta see Miss Hallam and that American lass wi''t''preacher?
6806Does ta think Martha can pray against t''English Constitution?
6806Dost ta really think that t''rector is cut on that sort o''a pattern? 6806 Drunk?"
6806Easily; how was she dressed?
6806Even if it be to the end of his life?
6806For whativer can a woman need wi''so much brass?
6806George Eltham, I suppose, was Antony''s chief friend?
6806Has Master Richard come back?
6806Has any one been here while I was, absent, Jasper?
6806Has money any thing to do with it?
6806Has ta no love for t''old place? 6806 Have they no relations?"
6806Have you considered well what you give up?
6806He may have a large family; can not one of them, in such case, be selected as heir?
6806Hedn''t ta better ask him what to do? 6806 Home?"
6806Honey, dear, what can Martha do for thee? 6806 How can I bring one room into another?"
6806How can the infinite God heed my pitiful regrets and desires?
6806How can you say so, Antony? 6806 How could you see all that in a moment or two of such confusion?"
6806How do I know thou will?
6806How do you account for that?
6806How do you know that? 6806 How do you propose to do this, Miss Hallam?"
6806How will you live?
6806I wish you would ask him to dinner, Elizabeth?
6806If Antony married?
6806If I got Antony to come to thee, Whaley, could ta do owt wi''him, thinks ta?
6806If I succeed?
6806Is Ben back?
6806Is he a parson?
6806Is he not one of your classmates? 6806 Is that all?"
6806Is the bride pretty?
6806It was peace at last, then?
6806It''ll be Alice Horton, happen?
6806Martha, can you get me some bread and meat, without any one knowing?
6806Martha, where is Ben?
6806May not this ancient room thou sitt''st in dwell In separate living souls for joy or pain? 6806 Moke has been sick, has he not?"
6806Mr. North,said Elizabeth, tremulously,"do you remember me?"
6806My good little sister, what do you want me to do?
6806Nay, nay, John; are you going to limit the grace of God? 6806 No two Christmases are exactly alike; are they, Martha?
6806No, I do n''t think I have; and why should they?
6806Now, then, be quiet, will ta? 6806 Parting with Richard?"
6806Phyllis,he asked, suddenly,"who told you John Millard was coming?"
6806Richard says you are to sail Wednesday?
6806Richard told you?
6806So you are in trouble, Phyllis?
6806So you began the exchange business here?
6806Stephen Langside, can you stand up before God and man to- day?
6806That is where Mrs. Millard lives?
6806The square dances, then? 6806 Then Clough is still alive?"
6806Then he is to be your successor?
6806Then what, Harriet?
6806Then you think, Martha, that the Bible teaches us that evil as well as good angels interfere in human life?
6806There was something like it in the apostolic Church?
6806Thou ca n''t, ca n''t ta? 6806 Thou is sure nobody has seen thee?"
6806Thou''lt hev a reason?
6806To what place?
6806Was Laycock coming from the moor also?
6806Was such slaughter needful, John?
6806Was the squire present?
6806We are going to have a prayer- meeting,he said,"will you come in?"
6806We are, and yet what earthly light has not its shadow?
6806Well, well, John; what would you?
6806Well, what does ta say?
6806What are you talking about, Jasper?
6806What by that? 6806 What did he mean?"
6806What does ta mean?
6806What does ta want better? 6806 What does ta want?"
6806What else?
6806What has your life been during the last three years?
6806What have you done about it?
6806What is ta talking about? 6806 What is the matter?"
6806What is the shadow, Phyllis?
6806What is to be done, then?
6806What kind of men?
6806What makes you know this time, Harriet? 6806 What must I do?"
6806What must I do?
6806What right have I to interfere? 6806 What was it?"
6806What was said?
6806What was your first impression of Houston, John?
6806What will you do about Hallam?
6806What, Richard?
6806What, makes you think such a strange thing as that?
6806Whatever is ta saying? 6806 Whativer does he want in t''Holy Land, then?"
6806Whativer is ta coming here for?
6806Whativer kept you so long, dearies? 6806 When I come for you, what is to be done with it?"
6806When did it happen, Martha?
6806When do you go, John?
6806Where did he die? 6806 Where did you bury him, Richard?"
6806Where does Mr. Rollins come from?
6806Where was Ben last night?
6806Who asks thee to waste thy life? 6806 Who did she marry, father?"
6806Who do you mak''that out to be?
6806Who made it up for''em?
6806Who spoke for Ben?
6806Whose fault is that?
6806Why are you here-- in this way?
6806Why did ta nivver sing them songs afore, Phyllis? 6806 Why do that?
6806Why do you ask, Martha?
6806Why do you quote what Bradford men say? 6806 Why had it been permitted?"
6806Why have you closed the hall? 6806 Why is John Millard here?"
6806Why not? 6806 Why not?
6806Why, Elizabeth, whatever has brought you through such a storm as this?
6806Why? 6806 Will Whitehaven do?"
6806Will you and Ben come to the hall to- night?
6806Will you call for our answer in three hours?
6806Will you come and dine with us, Mr. North? 6806 Will you come in and see Phyllis?"
6806Will you go with me?
6806Will you promise me to take no steps against my brother in the interim?
6806Yes; what is the use of drawing out a parting? 6806 Yes; why''purporting?''"
6806Yes?
6806You have no fear now?
6806You heard the quarrel, then, Harriet?
6806You may trust me,she said,"for ten, for twenty years; is not that enough?"
6806You said I was to tell you all-- shall I go on, Elizabeth?
6806You said''unwomanly''also?
6806You think Laycock swore to a lie?
6806You will go with me to New Orleans?
6806You wo nt forget the birds, Martha? 6806 Your childhood, Evelyn?"
6806_Do you mean to say, Phyllis, that God speaks to men?"
6806''Any news?''
6806''Sir,''he asked,''do you ever expect to conquer men fighting for freedom who can march four days with an ear of corn for a ration?''
6806''Speak up for thysen, lad,''I said;''hesn''t ta got a tongue i''thy head to- neet?''"
6806''Why,''said Peter to Ananias,''Why hath Satan filled thy heart?''
6806Am I obliged to give an account of myself, and of my motives, to every man and woman in the parish?
6806And if the poor little robins and wrens die of hunger, do you think He, who sees them fall, will hold us innocent?"
6806And is that my English aunt?
6806And what did it matter that outside the place there were brown sand- hills and pale- sailed ships?
6806And whativer brings thee to Bradford so early?"
6806And when a shadow falls across the window, Of my room, Where I am working my appointed task, I lift my head to watch the door, and ask If he is come?
6806And when did ta come into my cellar?"
6806And who do you think was with them, father?
6806And who would dare to dispute a word he said?
6806And you are on the San Saba?
6806Antony, what is the matter?"
6806Are Christians filled wi''t''Spirit o''God?
6806Are they not the heroes of the republic?
6806Are you their slave?
6806As the park is so pleasant, will you return with me?"
6806At Hallam?"
6806Ben Craven has double it, but who would call Ben a gentleman?"
6806Business?
6806But about poor Martha, hev you seen her?"
6806But if we refuse your offer, Miss Hallam?"
6806But is it to be a disappointment-- to you, I mean, Elizabeth?"
6806But ought not a young lady to know as much about the origin and constitution of her Church as of her country?"
6806But, Miss Phill, who sends de letters?
6806Can I do good?
6806Can I go to thy cottage?''
6806Can I not live as I choose?
6806Can I trust to Ben and you?"
6806Can not I share it?
6806Can ta tell me what ta fears, dearie?"
6806Can you escape eternity by forgetting it?
6806Could flowers be more sweet and perfect?
6806Did he die in Mexico?"
6806Did he tell you, Miss Phill?"
6806Did n''t I pray that prayer mysen, night and day?"
6806Did you ever happen to read, or to hear Wesley''s''charge''to his preachers?"
6806Did you ever hear my pa speak?"
6806Did you ever watch a lot of men and women dancing when you could not hear the music, but could only see them bobbing up and down the room?
6806Did you see Stephenson in the fight, John?"
6806Did you see how interested she was when I was telling about the sufferings of the women and children on the frontier?"
6806Do n''t you think so, Elizabeth?"
6806Do n''t you think the Sermon on the Mount a very fair precedent in favor of field- preaching?"
6806Do you know the height and depth of his mercy?
6806Do you mind telling us how things went?
6806Do you see yonder hilly roll, with the belt of timber at its foot?"
6806Does God work in us to will and to do?
6806Does he not love her still?"
6806Does sorrow make us indifferent, I wonder?"
6806Does ta understand its value?"
6806Does the Bible say any more about him?"
6806Dost ta see that, Ezra?
6806Elizabeth, why do n''t you speak?"
6806Given up all the kind and hospitable ways of your ancestors?
6806Has no one looked for him?"
6806Has the postman been, or a bird whispered it to you, or have some of Waul''s servants been making a call here?"
6806Have I not the right to expect that both she and you will keep your word with me?"
6806Have you any idea why I was coming to see you?"
6806Have you measured the length and breadth of the cross?
6806He says,"How do you do?"
6806Hev I iver grudged thee any thing to make it happy?
6806Hev you noticed that great blessings come when we are nivver expecting''em?"
6806Hev you seen aught, Miss Hallam?"
6806How can a new one be fairer?"
6806How could you bear it?"
6806How could you see all that in a moment or two of such confusion?"
6806How does ta think to get it out o''me now?"
6806How will it be at the end?"
6806How would it be possible for her to account for her strange absence from the house at that hour?
6806If any one had asked Richard,"Are you really hoping that he has been killed in some Indian fight?"
6806If human love wounds and wrongs us, are we not circled by angels as the stars by heaven?
6806If the daughter of Herodias had danced a modern cotillion, do you think that John the Baptist''s head would have fallen at her feet?"
6806Is it Liverpool you want to reach?"
6806Is it because in marrying Richard you will have to give up this beautiful home?"
6806Is t''lad gone by his senses?"
6806Is ta a Methodist, dearie?"
6806Is ta going to thy class to- night?"
6806Is ta sure nobody saw thee?
6806Is the squire satisfied?"
6806Is there a bonnier spot in t''wide world?
6806Is there aught wrong?"
6806It is incredible, I know; and when the report was made to Houston he asked,''Is it a dream?''"
6806Lies He the lily- banks among?"
6806Mass''r Richard and Mass''r John sittin''together like two lambs, and Mass''r Richard says,''Can you see Mass''r John a few minutes?''"
6806Might I not do harm?
6806Miss Hallam, do you know what you are saying?"
6806No one could have given a clear reason for doing so, and one man did not ask another man"why?"
6806No one spoke; and the preacher, after a minute''s silence, asked,"Who doubts?"
6806North?"
6806Now dost thou want to keep Hallam i''thy own flesh and blood?
6806Now is there any promise for an uncertain condition like this?"
6806Now, what do you say?''
6806Now, will ta go?
6806O, sir, could you not have trusted me?
6806Only the cross of Christ?
6806Or golden coins squandered and still to pay?"
6806Ought I to solicit a confidence?
6806Richard will dislike to return to America without you; have you thought of the many changes you must face?
6806Say, wo nt you hurry up?
6806Shall I drink mine beside you?"
6806She hastened to it, and a child put out his arms and said,"Is you my Aunt''Izzy?"
6806She lifted her eyes, and whispered,"Go on; I must hear all, or how can I feel all?
6806Should she go to Whaley for advice, or act entirely on her own responsibility?
6806Shut yourself up with one old woman?"
6806So he asked,"Have they no relatives?"
6806Surely to goodness thou is n''t going in t''dead o''winter?"
6806That is all about my life, Elizabeth, I had my dream of love, and of being loved like all other girls, but--""But Antony was kind to you?"
6806The boys had fraternized at once,--what good boys do not?
6806The rector smiled tolerantly down at Phyllis''s bright thoughtful face, and said:"Do young ladies in America study theological history?"
6806The rich and prosperous ignored her existence; and the poor?
6806The squire looked at him, first with amazement, then with anger, and asked,"When did ta lose thy good sense, and thy good- will, son Antony?"
6806The squire patted the little hand, which was upon his knee, and proudly asked,"Now, then, parson, what does ta say to that?"
6806The very soul and spirit of their purpose?"
6806Then I went for t''Wesleyan minister to talk a bit wi''Martha, poor body?
6806Then he''s pious?"
6806Then, after walking a few yards, she said,"Martha, do you believe the dead can speak to the living?"
6806Thou thought I''d be in a bit o''trouble to- night, did n''t ta?"
6806Thou wilt stand by Elizabeth?"
6806Thou''lt be going through t''park, I expect?"
6806Two or three men have inquired if I was going to put up with them?"
6806Was it not from the flower of the pine the old gods of Olympus extracted the odorous resin with which they perfumed their nectar?
6806Was it possible that the equable charm and serenity of his mood was only an assumed one?
6806Was not Rome founded by robbers, and Great Britain by pirates?"
6806Was there ever a bigger old cheat than he is?
6806What am I saying?
6806What are they but slouching mathematical dawdling, and''promiscuous''bobbing around?"
6806What avail is it to tell them that appearances deceive, that calumny has done us wrong?
6806What business?"
6806What cheer?
6806What could Elizabeth mean by another and an indefinite delay?
6806What dainty have you ready for him?
6806What did he say to you?"
6806What did he say?"
6806What did my lord say concerning our plan?"
6806What do you mak''o''that now?"
6806What do you say, Miss Hallam?"
6806What do you say, father?"
6806What does t''Bible say?
6806What does ta say?"
6806What does ta want here?"
6806What does ta want?"
6806What dost ta say, Phyllis, dearie?"
6806What good is it to defend ourself, when no one cares to listen?
6806What has Elizabeth done or said?"
6806What if Jasper had locked the doors?
6806What is ta feared for, dearie?"
6806What is there for great criminals?
6806What is your name?"
6806What made John Wesley, and the men like him, be up early and late, be stoned by mobs, and perish''d wi''cold and hunger?
6806What particular difference could it make?"
6806What say you to that, then?"
6806What says the Lord?
6806What would he do, aunt?
6806What''s his name?"
6806What''s your name, sir?"
6806Whatever he s ta put thy best clothes on for?''
6806Whativer did she say to thee?"
6806Whativer''s coming to folk?
6806Whativer''s to come o''England if t''land is put under women?
6806When are they to be here?"
6806When did ta begin to think o''loving any body?"
6806When did you see Phyllis?"
6806When you prayed for fine weather to get the hay in, did you expect it in spite of all the conditions against it-- falling barometer, gathering clouds?
6806Where did you meet him?"
6806Where is he now?
6806Where''s Antony?"
6806Who but a gentleman could live upon that and look as he does?
6806Who can tell what he may do?
6806Who is that with you and aunt, Uncle Richard?
6806Who married them?"
6806Who of us is there that has not experienced that painful surprise that the repulsion of others awakens in our hearts?
6806Who shall bless His name at midnight?
6806Who''ll hear my prayers?''
6806Why should I, wi''t''love o''God and t''love o''man to help me?"
6806Why should you doubt it?
6806Why, then, do not all Christians have this knowledge?"
6806Why, then, does n''t she do t''right thing wi''it?"
6806Will ta come t''hunt dinner at Eltham on Thursday?"
6806Will you come to the hall after Christmas and speak with me, or shall I come here and see you?"
6806Will you sacrifice my happiness to the opinion of Captain Lefferts and Jim Wade?
6806Will you walk back part of the way with me?"
6806Without sign of any kind-- O, Richard, is it really-- death?"
6806Wo nt ma be glad?
6806Would he like to ride my pony?"
6806Would n''t that be worse?"
6806Would she be able to influence Page and Thorley, the bankers who held her brother''s forged notes, by a personal visit?
6806Would they be ears of wheat Sown once for food, but trodden into clay?
6806You are not playing with a good man''s heart?"
6806You can trust me to do right, daughter?"
6806You do n''t suppose Master Richard is in love with Queen Victoria?"
6806You know them?"
6806You know your own mind, Phyllis Fontaine?
6806You may punish Mr. Hallam, if you succeed in finding him; but will not the money be better for you?"
6806You remember Bob Black, John?"
6806You will help me, Elizabeth?"
6806You would hear from Elizabeth that I was obliged to leave England?''
6806brave men of large souls and large views, that go naturally to the front because they are too big for the ranks?"
6806does Phyllis know?"
6806said Richard, coldly;"a journey to Europe is a trifle-- no need to make a fuss about it; is there, Phyllis?
6806said old Peggy Howarth, nodding her head wisely,"what does ta think o''that, Jane Sykes?"
6806when we are condemned before we have spoken?
50676''S''death, child, what put such trash in your head? 50676 ''Sir Charles?''"
50676''Twas a woman''s pride in her womanhood, a woman fighting against her arch enemy----"The man who loved her?
50676A return of your gout?
50676Ah, sweetest lady, had the poor ever such a friend, ever such a benefactor? 50676 Am I really handsome?"
50676Am I to have no license to say foolish things, after having crossed the Alps to see you?
50676An old man?
50676And afterwards? 50676 And afterwards?"
50676And are we all to be peasants?
50676And at night when you are asleep, who attends upon her?
50676And can this presumptuous worm still deny her Maker? 50676 And do you think you''re any wickeder for not going to church twice every Sunday?"
50676And does your ladyship really live in this house?
50676And from them?
50676And he has taught you to believe in Christ?
50676And if I was to mend and be my own man again, and was to ask you the same question again, would you give me the same answer?
50676And in the mean time, do n''t you think there may be a certain danger for your son in such close proximity with a pretty girl-- of that tender age?
50676And kept it out of your head for a week, Lucy-- the prayer of a dying woman?
50676And now Mr. Stobart is gone your father troubles you?
50676And she carried him away with her on a visit?
50676And this trivial conquest made you happy?
50676And was I indeed so happy as to be missed by you?
50676And was his lordship seriously offended by this conduct?
50676And was your grandfather always poor-- always living here, on this little vineyard and garden?
50676And you are content to pass your life in such work? 50676 And you persuaded your mother to take her into her service?"
50676And you thought''twas because I loved another woman''s husband-- that''twas your saintly self I cared for? 50676 And your father warmed his legs before the dramatic pyre, and never knew''twas the flame of genius?"
50676Are we too late?
50676As how, sir?
50676Because of my red hair?
50676Before you left off having any friends but Methodists?
50676But is not this better than to sit in your lodgings and mope over books?
50676But is your religion but a passive piety, sir? 50676 But who knows what may happen when we are going home, now that the days are so much shorter?"
50676But will you not help me a little? 50676 But without belief in Him whose message I bring?
50676But you will not go as a heathen among heathens? 50676 Ca n''t you see-- don''t you understand-- that I loved him?"
50676Can one''s writing show one''s mind? 50676 Can you forget what I told you years ago?"
50676Can you look round the world you live in and doubt the Power of Evil?
50676Can you see any resemblance?
50676Can you tell me of any cousin whom he may be said to have disinherited?
50676Can your lordship tell me the latest news of the war?
50676Degrade you? 50676 Did you come here to shake my faith, madam, or to ask for spiritual aid from me?"
50676Did you consent to your daughter''s marriage?
50676Did you enter into conversation with her after the-- the remarkable experience?
50676Did you see that tall girl with the blue bead necklace?
50676Do the numbers go on increasing?
50676Do you desire more light?
50676Do you do this to please your mother?
50676Do you go far, sir?
50676Do you go to church, Patty? 50676 Do you think it so great a crime for a gentleman to marry his inferior?"
50676Do you think the folks in the gallery want their own humdrum lives reflected on the stage, or to look on at banquets of whelks and twopenny porter? 50676 Do you think, madam, that a journeyman printer''s daughter would be in her place among dukes and duchesses at a fashionable assembly?
50676Do you wish to stay for it?
50676Does Miss Thornton concoct plays, as well as her gifted parent?
50676Does she sit at table with you?
50676Does the General say that, Patty?
50676Does your ladyship know what risk you run here? 50676 Does your ladyship think two years very long to mourn for a friend to whom I owe all I have ever known of love and friendship?"
50676Does your lordship think it is enough to have lived what the world calls a moral life, never to have been caught in the toils of vice? 50676 Dost remember where we left your Christian?"
50676Great Heaven, madam, have the undermining influences of a corrupt society so early sapped your belief in Christ?
50676Had that meek- looking young woman been one of his votaries? 50676 Had this gentleman offended his lordship?"
50676Handsome? 50676 Has he no fortune of his own?"
50676Has he sent you to see our poor Morris? 50676 Has rowing made your head worse, George?"
50676Have you changed your mind about Lord Dunkeld?
50676Have you resolved to accept him as a husband? 50676 He is not a bad father, is he, Tonia?"
50676How came you by the knowledge of your spiritual twinship?
50676How can you tell that?
50676How could he have chosen such a wife?
50676How did she come by this horrible malady, ma''am?
50676I hope you have relations who help you,said Antonia,"distant relations, perhaps, who are richer than your grandfather?"
50676I must, must I?
50676If his tears could not conquer me, do you think your philosophy can shake my resolve?
50676If it was n''t, do n''t you think Garrick would have produced it? 50676 If she had been kinder, now, and had let love conquer?"
50676If she was not a sinner, why this convulsion of remorse for sin? 50676 In what matter can I have the honour to serve you, madam?"
50676Indeed?
50676Is anybody poor in Italy? 50676 Is he really so ill?
50676Is his lordship''s chaplain there?
50676Is it a sin, sir, even when that love goes hand in hand with the desire to bring her into Christ''s fold?
50676Is it not something better than liking? 50676 Is it one of your old headaches?"
50676Is it real?
50676Is it time for us to go home, George?
50676Is it to Lord Kilrush we owe our quiet lives here? 50676 Is it true that Lord Kilrush''s grandfather was a slave- trader?"
50676Is it you who keeps the purse?
50676Is that all? 50676 Is the boy''s father living?"
50676Is the gentleman such a fire- eater?
50676Is the visit to last long?
50676Is there some dormant affection in my heart, some hereditary love that needs but to be warmed into life by time and custom? 50676 Is your lordship so very sure''tis poor stuff?"
50676Is your mistress away from home?
50676Kinder? 50676 Lady Kilrush, can not you believe in friendship?"
50676May I know it?
50676May I see your grandfather?
50676May I take one of your roses?
50676May one ask what brings your lordship to Italy, when most of the fine gentlemen I know are shooting partridges in Norfolk?
50676Must I say no, George?
50676My aunt''s garden? 50676 My dear child, do you mean to wear weeds for ever?"
50676My dear creature, sure you wo n''t pretend you''ve forgot me?
50676My dearest child, would you bury yourself alive in this desolate corner of the earth?
50676My matchless one, will you give me some dinner?
50676Nay, madam, is there not something more potent than the memory of a departed husband, which makes you scorn my passion? 50676 Oh, is it an author?
50676Oh, madam, can not you see that my wife is a wayward child, who has never learnt to reason? 50676 Oh, sir, are all the Oxford Methodists as rude as you?"
50676Oh, sir, how did you divine that?
50676Oh, sir, is this meant for a reproach, because I have suffered Antonia to receive you alone? 50676 Oh, sir, why must my soul be the forfeit?
50676Oh, sir, would you have me distant or sullen to the most brilliant man in London? 50676 Oh, why do you talk of servants, and horses, and things?"
50676Sally, Sally, is this the spirit in which to remember your sins?
50676Shall I ever go back to it all, and think a London season life''s supreme felicity?
50676Shall I get you a coach now? 50676 Shall I read to you, Sally?"
50676Shall we be there soon?
50676Should I grow to love that old man if I knew him better?
50676Take Orders?
50676That I can understand,said Kilrush, with the air of humouring a madman,"but why the devil do I find her established here?"
50676The girl who is so like you?
50676Then is everybody wicked who gives such assemblies or goes to them? 50676 Then you like the Mandalay room?"
50676Then you think Lady Kilrush is no better than a heathen?
50676Then you will give yourself to that better world-- the world of the true believer; you will be among the saved?
50676Then, sir, since you know my ultimatum, what the devil brings you to this house?
50676Tonia, do you understand?
50676Tonia, will you marry me?
50676Was I as perfect a creature then as the woman they pretend to worship?
50676Was Lord Dunkeld among the company?
50676Was he dissipated-- a spendthrift?
50676Was there ever so unreasonable a fancy? 50676 Was there ever such a witty puss?"
50676Were_ you_ at Ranelagh?
50676What am I that he should care?
50676What are you doing here, fellow?
50676What are you thinking of, child? 50676 What do you want me to do?
50676What does she say, George? 50676 What else?"
50676What has become of so much beauty and fashion? 50676 What has happened, George?"
50676What has happened?
50676What if I married her, and she turned wanton after a year of bliss?
50676What is the use of hoarding money that other people will spend and waste, perhaps, when you are dead?
50676What the devil has become of Kilrush?
50676What things?
50676What time did they leave?
50676What was the tutor''s name?
50676What, Mr. Wesley, you know me?
50676What, child, did you think''twas like Ranelagh, a covered place for dancing?
50676What, in the bloom of youth, when you should be dancing every night, gadding from one pleasure to another all day long? 50676 What, is she coming round, after all?
50676What, sir, would you starve them into piety? 50676 What?
50676Where am I to go?
50676Where is she?
50676Which is the madman, he or I?
50676Who is Lord Kilrush?
50676Who knows? 50676 Why ca n''t I go to him?"
50676Why do you not come to take a dish of tea with me? 50676 Why should such a friendship end?
50676Why, dearest?
50676Will he be home from school presently? 50676 Will he come back?"
50676Will you not resume your work in my district? 50676 Will you resume that work now, madam?
50676Will you stop with me to the end, Tonia?
50676Will you tell them to bring my coach?
50676Will your ladyship be offended if I presume to advise?
50676Will your ladyship scorn me if I confess that I love better to sit in an Italian garden than to tramp over a Norfolk stubble? 50676 Would it not be better for your grandfather if he lived at Bellagio, where he would have a comfortable house in a street, and plenty of neighbours?"
50676Would not duty, honour, conscience do as much for him?
50676Would you be sorry? 50676 Would you be very angry with him?"
50676You admire Clarissa for her piety, perhaps?
50676You admire Clarissa?
50676You believe in a heaven for these-- a land of Beulah, where_ they_ will have the fat things? 50676 You believe in instantaneous conversions-- in a single act of faith that can make a Christian in a moment?"
50676You go among great sinners?
50676You had a daughter called Antonia?
50676You have left the army?
50676You know Lord Dunkeld?
50676You know Sally Dormer, the poor woman that''s in a consumption, and that you and her ladyship are concerned about?
50676You think a woman must live in some kind of fever? 50676 You were at the taking of Quebec, then?
50676You were badly wounded?
50676You will do nothing violent-- nothing desperately wicked?
50676You would cease to be my friend, perhaps?
50676You would have her at the same table with the granddaughter of the seventeenth Baron Kilrush?
50676Your Antonia married an Englishman?
50676Your father is-- a troublesome person?
50676Your kinswoman Lady Kilrush?
50676Your ladyship has doubtless heard that my husband has gone back to the army?
50676_ Chi lo sa? 50676 ''I hear your ladyship''s is the pleasantest house in town,''he said,''but am I never to know more of it than hearsay?'' 50676 ''Who''s that magnificent giantess?'' 50676 A voice asked,Is she here?"
50676Ah, what am I that he should care?"
50676Ah, when will there be such schools all over England, in every city, in every village?
50676Alas, was there ever so fine, so generous a nature?
50676Alas, why had he been false to his own convictions, to his own faith?
50676Alas, why had he feared to tell her the truth?
50676And how many of those they led to battle?
50676And if that ghastly distemper struck her down-- a possible result, though she did not apprehend it-- what then?
50676And to what should I go back if I took my hand from the plough?
50676And what better chance could there be for this woman''s conversion than her union with an honest, believing Christian?
50676And when be they?"
50676And yet was not this avowed infidel, so beautiful, so winning in her proud gentleness, only the Philistine Delilah in a new guise?
50676Are n''t you pleased with yourself, Tonia?
50676Are you Mrs. Stobart''s only nurse?"
50676Are you not ashamed of your fatuous self- esteem, which took it for a confession of love?
50676Are you so vastly rich from other resources?"
50676But could he make amends to the martyr Becket?
50676But do you think I fear you?
50676But had any man living given up more than he was called upon to surrender, he asked himself?
50676But what if one of these be a blasphemer?
50676But what is it to be a good Churchwoman?
50676But what of the sinner deeply sunk in guilt-- will not he see only the hopelessness of any struggle to escape from Satan?
50676But why did n''t you take me?
50676By the way, who is that seamstress person I saw sitting on the lawn, and whom I have seen here before to- day?"
50676Ca n''t you understand how I feel about her, sir, the mother whose face I can not remember, but who loved me when I was unconscious of her love?
50676Can I be your friend, and hold my peace?"
50676Can I make amends to her?
50676Can not you spare a little time from these new pensioners for your old friends?"
50676Can this heart which melts at a sister''s distress remain adamant against Christ?
50676Can you doubt that I admire your kindness, your generous sympathy with creatures that suffer?
50676Can you find me an honest lawyer here, or at Varenna?"
50676Can you guess why I was anxious about her, and anxious to be her friend?"
50676Could any man so concern himself about the spiritual welfare of a stranger?
50676Could he be angry with her for being industrious and keeping his house a pattern of neatness?
50676Could there be a more enthralling theme, a subject more removed from earthly desires and earthly temptations?
50676Could there be any question as to my duty?"
50676Could they, who had been such friends, be parted for ever?
50676Danger for my son in the society of a journeyman''s daughter-- a girl who can but just read and write?
50676Dare I break the spell of silence?
50676Dear girl, do you not know that I adore you?"
50676Did any of them believe?
50676Did anything in this world matter to a man so much as the joy of this present life, his instant happiness?
50676Did he love her as he had loved her before those slow years of severance?
50676Did he marry a woman of bad character?"
50676Did they know the girl in the blue necklace?
50676Did those words mean nothing, after all?
50676Did you bring her nearer God?"
50676Did you think that I could come here day after day, for a year-- see you and hear you, be your friend and companion-- and not love you?
50676Do the Methodist Christians think it no sin to break their oath?"
50676Do you call genius idle?
50676Do you do nothing for Christianity?"
50676Do you follow the doctrine of the Moravians, who abjure all active righteousness, and wait in stillness for the coming of faith?
50676Do you know if Mrs. Stobart has had any trouble on her mind lately, any anxiety?"
50676Do you know what would happen if you were to marry this woman?"
50676Do you suppose I forget that I am forbid all ecstatic hopes?"
50676Do you think I fear you?
50676Do you think a creed can help a man in temptation, or that the Thirty- Nine Articles ever saved a sinner from falling?"
50676Do you think''tis only because they are miserable upon earth that Christians long for the joys of heaven?
50676Does he not write to you occasionally?"
50676For that end what labour could be too difficult?
50676Grandfather gives me money to pay the baker----""And the butcher?"
50676Had he been ill long; did he suffer much; had he a doctor?
50676Had he not wrestled again and again with that stubborn spirit of unbelief, in the days when they were friends, and when he never spared hard words?
50676Has his lordship given you money?"
50676Have the angels who stand about the throne of God, His worshippers and subordinates, half such privileges as Judas had?
50676Have you been teaching your night class all these hours?"
50676He left the army----""A coward?"
50676How could he approach her?
50676How could he ever hope to break through that adamant, to melt that ice?
50676How d''ye do, miss?"
50676How else account for such a fall?
50676How is it that he is so poor?"
50676I doubt you have tried, in all seriousness?"
50676I hope you are not ill?"
50676I wonder how long her love of the country will endure wet days and dark nights, and remoteness from shops and market?
50676I wonder what value she sets upon me?"
50676If she hid her blemished face from the world, would she consent to see him?
50676If you avoid the old places, the old people, can I believe that you have pardoned my sin of the past?
50676In the hideous uncertainty of fate, were it not best to snatch the hour''s gladness?
50676Indeed, what man living could forget a scene so incongruous-- yet-- so beautiful?"
50676Is he as healthy and as handsome as when I saw him last?"
50676Is it the Italian blood in your veins that opens your heart to beings of so different a race?"
50676Is it the loss of his company distresses you?"
50676Is it true that you were once your cousin''s acknowledged heir?"
50676Is there a part for me in the new play?"
50676Is there no hope?"
50676James''s Post_ states, if his mother is rich?"
50676Mandalay''s?"
50676Might it not be my happiness to save hers?"
50676Need I multiply instances?
50676Of what sins am I to repent?"
50676Oh, Mrs. Stobart, was he ever unkind?"
50676Oh, my brethren, had ever mortal man such opportunities of salvation as Judas had?
50676Oh, thou who wert the idol of this heart, dost thou in some undiscovered region still live to pity thy desolate lover?
50676Or is it all a dream, nothing but a dream?"
50676Or will you walk a little way?"
50676Or would he find his sin still unpardoned?
50676Potter?"
50676Pray how many mice has Minette crunched since breakfast?"
50676Pray tell me where is this lady''s son?
50676Pray who was this paragon?"
50676Pray, who is her doctor?"
50676Shall I ever bridge the abyss?
50676Shall I ever see those glorious eyes droop under my gaze, that transcendent form agitated by a heart that passion sets beating?"
50676Shall I lose all in asking for all?
50676Shall a profligate''s pale spectre stand between me and the woman I worship?
50676Shall we meet and know each other again, where there is neither marrying nor giving in marriage?
50676She has delighted in your society-- as how could she do otherwise?
50676She is out of spirits, but not ill. How far does your lordship design to extend your travels?"
50676Sure ours was a love match, was it not?"
50676The signorina had noticed her?
50676Then you have reason to believe that Mr. Stobart is living in poverty, as a consequence of his love- match?"
50676Then, after a long pause, sinking his mighty voice almost to a whisper, the preacher asked--"Is there any son of perdition here to- night?
50676This poor lady''s husband, for instance, has he not risked his life a hundred times in America?
50676To be famous as painter, poet, actor?
50676To what end should she tell them of kinship if she could not give them a kinswoman''s love?
50676Victory purchased at what cost of blood, what sacrifice of lives that were dear?
50676Was all the world made of the same base stuff; and did woman''s virtue and man''s honour live but in the dreams of genius?
50676Was he in the house when she was taken ill?"
50676Was he not old enough already for books and retirement?
50676Was her father being carried home to her hurt in some street accident-- or dead?
50676Was it for the joy of hearing him, though she knew what her answer must be?
50676Was it last night-- the funeral?"
50676Was it not the best thing she could do-- her best chance for the saving of that immortal soul which he had tried in vain to save?
50676Was it possible better to realize the lessons of the Divine Altruist?
50676Was it strange if he had become more to her than a common friend?
50676Was it strange if, after giving him her friendship, she had given him her heart?
50676Was it to be eternal?
50676Was not Paul himself only_ trying_ to believe?
50676Was not Whitefield right, after all?
50676Was not death almost better for the victim than such a resurrection?
50676Was she doomed never to be able to esteem those whom she was bound to love?
50676Was she happy in the midst of it all, she who believed only in this brief life and the pleasure or the pain that it holds?
50676Was that cry of a believing throng only empty air?
50676Was there ever such a man?
50676Was there ever such a noble lady?
50676Was your coach attacked?"
50676Well, sir?"
50676Were Tonia''s violet eyes the lodestars that drew him back to town?
50676Were there not men whose names were written in the Book of Doom, wretches not born to be judged, but judged before they were born?
50676Were you affronted with me for calling you a spinster aunt?
50676Wesley?"
50676What ails my love?
50676What can I say to you?
50676What can my name matter to you-- to you of all women, friendless and alone in the world, your existence unknown to more than some half- dozen people?
50676What could Voltaire, the enlightened, think of such a time- serving hypocrisy, except that the thing paid?
50676What could be meaner or more degrading?
50676What could have happened?
50676What could he expect of truth and honour from Thornton''s daughter?
50676What does he do for religion?
50676What if he curse God and die?
50676What if it be the only true key to God''s mysteries?
50676What is the true philosophy of life but to snatch all the comfort and happiness the hour offers?
50676What is the use of a few guineas in a cracked teacup, or hidden in a corner of your mattress?"
50676What is true morality but to do all the good we can to ourselves, and no harm to our neighbours?
50676What meaning could marriage have in such an hour as this?
50676What more can I do?"
50676What of your scheme of compensations then, sir?"
50676What sacrifice would it be to die for her who feared no hereafter, had no account to render?
50676What the devil should a Grub Street hack''s daughter do here?
50676What was he now?
50676What were the relations between that liberal patron and Antonia?
50676What will be his destiny then, sir?
50676What will your poor mother say when I tell her that you take pleasure in tormenting God''s creatures?"
50676When did that fatal love begin?
50676When have I ever scared you by a harsh word?"
50676When have I ever spoken a word that could warrant such an affront?"
50676When was there ever a temper so meek, joined with such fortitude, such heroic resolve?"
50676Where was George Stobart under that dwindling moon?
50676Who among those soldiers and servants of Christ had loved a woman as beautiful, loved with a passion as fervent?
50676Who can have written to me?
50676Who can question that he was marked for hell?
50676Who''ll buy my strawberries?"
50676Why are you taking me to him, sir?
50676Why did you part?"
50676Why do you trouble yourself about them?
50676Why does not your father take you to Ranelagh?
50676Why not?
50676Why should he not pursue her, with a love so sincere and so ardent that it might prevail even over indifference, might conquer disdain?
50676Why should our sex have all the privileges of education?"
50676Why, in the name of all that''s reasonable, did she refuse to marry Lovelace, when he was willing?"
50676Will you banish me in anger, as you did when it was so black a sin to speak of my love?"
50676Will you be for ever cold, for ever deaf to my prayer?"
50676Will you go with us to- morrow?"
50676Will you visit the sick poor in this neighbourhood, and will you accept my help and counsel?"
50676Will your fellow- creatures be any the better for your unkindness to Kilrush?
50676Will your ladyship sit under our favourite tree, where my wife and I have been sitting, or would you prefer to be within doors?"
50676William Thornton?"
50676With youth and beauty, wealth, the world''s esteem-- all Satan''s choicest lures-- what safeguard, what defence have you?"
50676Would he honour her less, adore her less, so disfigured?
50676Would it make any difference?"
50676Would it not then be a hard measure were he to come between George Stobart and an attachment which death had legitimatised?
50676Would she ever again wear pearls or diamonds on her neck?
50676Would she ever see that face again, she wondered, after she lay down on yonder bed?
50676Would she have thought less lovingly of her dead mother because of her humble lineage?
50676Would she hold him at a distance for ever because of one fatal hour in his life?
50676Would the dying man desire to be laid with his ancestors in the family vault under Limerick Cathedral, within sound of the Shannon?
50676Would you like me to take Orders, Lucy?"
50676You have not taken it up for a year or so, to abandon it when the fever of enthusiasm cools?"
50676You took me in hand and made a lady of me, and how could I do less than jump at the first chance of making a return?
50676cried George,"are women by nature mean and petty?
50676poor wretch, did she not confess herself so in your hearing-- an infidel, blind to the light of revelation, deaf to the message of pardon?
50676shall I ever forget James Wolfe''s spectral face in the grey of that fatal morning?
50676she cried again, with a voice that had a sharp ring of agony,"would you have had me say yes?"
50676what is there to stand between us and consummate bliss?"
50676would she ever cease to trust him as a friend, and begin to fear him as a lover?
50676you have a conscience-- you who believe no more in God than that audacious atheist, Diderot?"
21635A beauty? 21635 A- are you?"
21635Ah, roused your curiosity, did I? 21635 Am I all right?
21635And do n''t you?
21635And if it comes back?
21635And you''ll do us a favor and be nice to Duckie, wo n''t you? 21635 And you''re very much in favor of it, are n''t you, Connie precious?"
21635Are Jerry and Prudence having domestic difficulties? 21635 Are boys always like that father?"
21635Are n''t we getting sensible?
21635Are n''t we lazy to- day?
21635Are there any holes in these stockings?
21635Are they gone?
21635Are you doing another napkin? 21635 Are you fond of Jim, Carol?"
21635Are you going out again?
21635Are you going to tell Connie?
21635Are you going to wait until he asks you?
21635Are you nearly tired to death?
21635Are you scared, Lark?
21635Are you still sure it is Gene?
21635Are you sure it''s measles, Aunt Grace?
21635Are you?
21635Are-- are we late for dinner?
21635As usual?
21635At Forrests''?
21635But I ca n''t help it, can I? 21635 But does n''t it seem foolish to go clear through college, and spend the money, and then-- marry without using the education?"
21635But how on earth do they know?
21635But however did you do it?
21635But what for? 21635 But what''s the idea?
21635But what''s the idea?
21635But what''s the object?
21635But where have you had it?
21635But wo n''t she dislike me if I do?
21635But, Professor,she argued,"ca n''t people do good without preaching?
21635But-- twins, do you think-- minister''s daughters ought to read-- things like that?
21635Ca n''t you drop that everlasting hemstitching, embroidering, tatting, crocheting, for ten minutes to talk to me? 21635 Ca n''t you see the poor thing is just tired to death?
21635Ca n''t you write to me a little oftener, Carol? 21635 Call me David, wo n''t you, Carol?
21635Can you write?
21635Carol, did you curl your hair?
21635Carol,he said,"my little song- bird,"--and he laughed, but very tenderly,"would you like to know how to make me say what you know I want to say?"
21635Connie, run out to the barn and bring my hat, will you? 21635 Connie?"
21635Connie?
21635D- do you?
21635Did I rub the powder all off?
21635Did I say that?
21635Did any of the others know about the fruit?
21635Did he find his incarceration trying?
21635Did he? 21635 Did it hurt, Carol?
21635Did n''t Prudence teach us to love everybody?
21635Did n''t they look sorry? 21635 Did she get you out of a scrape?"
21635Did the veil come?
21635Did they ask us to stay a whole week, auntie?
21635Did they tell you all about it?
21635Did you ever send''em off?
21635Did you get the story back?
21635Did you have a pleasant visit?
21635Did you see them?
21635Did you want me to say it, dearest? 21635 Do n''t we know everybody does it?
21635Do n''t we love her better than anybody on earth,--except ourselves?
21635Do n''t you remember how Prudence gasped? 21635 Do n''t you think it is a glorious idea, Connie?"
21635Do you care how soon I get married?
21635Do you love me?
21635Do you think he''s crazy about you, Carol?
21635Do you think she''ll ever make it?
21635Do you think this suit will convince Grace that I am worth taking care of? 21635 Do you want to break men''s hearts?"
21635Do you want to?
21635Does Prudence know it?
21635Does n''t that sound exactly like a book, now?
21635Fairy wants to know if you are getting stage fright, Lark? 21635 Father,"she said,"would you be very sorry if I did n''t teach school after all?"
21635Get her a drink, ca n''t you, Connie?
21635Good guess, was n''t it?
21635Good morning, Carrie, how are you this morning?
21635Goodness, Prue, are n''t you going to do anything but eat after you move to Des Moines? 21635 Had a sunstroke?"
21635Have n''t any? 21635 Have n''t we been a parsonage bunch long enough to be tickled to death to be sent any place?"
21635He''s here.--''Aunt Lark, may I have a cooky?''
21635How about it? 21635 How did it happen?"
21635How do I look?
21635How is it?
21635How is your mother, Jim?
21635How long?
21635How many times did you read it?
21635How should I know?
21635I am very busy with my work, so you will understand if my letters come less frequently, wo n''t you? 21635 I do n''t get everything I want, do I?"
21635I sure do know,he said fervently,"did n''t I have to do a speech at the commencement exercises?
21635I-- well, I made you say it, did n''t I?
21635Is Carol sick, Grace?
21635Is Prudence all right?
21635Is he nice?
21635Is it a doctor book?
21635Is it all settled?
21635Is it any good?
21635Is n''t everything wonderful, father?
21635Is n''t it lovely?
21635Is n''t it-- awful? 21635 Is n''t she a beauty?"
21635Is n''t the house still?
21635Is she all right?
21635Is that what makes you so-- so shiny, and smiley, and starry all the time?
21635It does look nice, does n''t it? 21635 It does smell good, does n''t it?
21635It''s so hard to talk when there''s a roomful, is n''t it? 21635 Jerry looked awfully handsome, did n''t he?
21635Jerry-- what?
21635Jim Forrest,she demanded,"is it Lark you want to marry, or me?"
21635Lark,he began hurriedly,"do you know the Dalys?
21635Let me have it, wo n''t you? 21635 Let''s cut and run, will you?"
21635Let''s go and take a walk, sha n''t we, Carol? 21635 Like it?
21635Look here, Fairy,he began,"what''s the joke?
21635Look out, Connie, do you want to break part of my daughter off the first thing? 21635 May I speak to one of the twins?"
21635Me? 21635 Mind?
21635My mind? 21635 No?"
21635Now what''ll we do? 21635 Now, what shall I do?"
21635Of whom were you thinking, Carol?
21635Oh, William,she sighed,"ca n''t you remember that you are a Methodist minister, and a grandfather, and-- grow up a little?"
21635Oh, ca n''t I? 21635 Oh, girls,"she whimpered,"is n''t it awful?
21635Oh, is n''t it a glorious morning?
21635Oh, is that it?
21635Oh, why do they,--what makes men like that? 21635 Oh,"she breathed,"oh, is n''t the parsonage lovely, Carol?
21635Poetry? 21635 Pretty good,--eh, what?"
21635Prudence, and Fairy,--it was pretty cute of Fairy, was n''t it?
21635Remember that last quarter we borrowed of you? 21635 Run along,"he said,"but do n''t be gone long, will you?
21635Say, Prue, knock me down and sit on me, will you? 21635 Shall we flip a coin to see who I get in front?"
21635Shall we have Alice or Katie? 21635 Since then?"
21635Stay in-- What?
21635Stick a pin in it, will you? 21635 Teaching you things, are they?"
21635Tell Aunt Grace, will you? 21635 The question is, will we be proud of you after the concert?"
21635Then why did you go up in the attic and cry all morning when Prudence was fixing the room for her?
21635Then you have n''t set your heart on my teaching?
21635Then you would object if he had dates?
21635Then, in common vernacular, though it is really beneath us, what''s up?
21635Think so? 21635 Trying to be a blank verse, Fairy?
21635Twins,he said, without preamble,"what do you want more than anything else?"
21635Was it a nice conference?
21635Was it any good?
21635Was n''t it a dandy day?
21635We can use him to make Jim Forrest jealous if he does n''t ask for that date?
21635Well, I''m sorry, I wo n''t have time to change them.--Did they come in the auto? 21635 Well, shall we have her come?"
21635Well, she ca n''t get married without Carol, can she?
21635Well, would you like to try your hand out with me?
21635Well?
21635What are you going to do this summer, Lark?
21635What are you reading that for?
21635What are you reading, Con?
21635What are you reading?
21635What city?
21635What did you do with them when they came back?
21635What did you do?
21635What difference does that make? 21635 What difference does that make?"
21635What do you call it, Carol,''sowing seeds of kindness''?
21635What do you think about it, Aunt Grace?
21635What do you think about it, Connie? 21635 What do you think of, it?"
21635What do you want it for?
21635What do you want?
21635What does Carol think about it?
21635What else did she tell you?
21635What for?
21635What for?
21635What happened?
21635What have they been doing?
21635What in the world is it?
21635What in the world?
21635What indeed?
21635What is he saying now?
21635What is it?
21635What is the joke?
21635What is the matter, Prue? 21635 What kind of slave- drivers do you think we are?"
21635What made her back down like that?
21635What makes you think you can write, Con?
21635What on earth are you doing?
21635What shall we do now?
21635What would you advise, Lark?
21635What''s gone, Carrie?
21635What''s gone? 21635 What''s the matter with you?"
21635What''s the matter?
21635What''s the matter?
21635What''s the matter?
21635What''s the poem?
21635What''s the sense in it? 21635 What''s up?"
21635What''s up?
21635What''s your father for?
21635What?
21635What?
21635Whatever do you suppose is the matter?
21635Where are the girls?
21635Where are the twins?
21635Where are the twins?
21635Where are we going?
21635Where are you going?
21635Where are you going?
21635Where did you get the money for that basket of fruit?
21635Where did you look?
21635Where in the world have you been all day? 21635 Where is she sick?"
21635Where now?
21635Where''d you get that dime, Connie?
21635Where''s papa?
21635Where''s the criminal?
21635Who next?
21635Who says fizzle?
21635Who won?
21635Who''s haunted?
21635Who, me? 21635 Why did n''t you let me look it over, Connie?"
21635Why do n''t you lie down and let Lark use you for a footstool, Carol?
21635Why on earth did n''t you say so in the first place?
21635Why should n''t I think so? 21635 Why, did n''t you catch on to that?
21635Why, we sent it out, and--"Just once?
21635Why? 21635 Will you buy the rest of us some silk stockings?"
21635Will you come and button me up? 21635 Will you keep it hidden?
21635Will you kindly get back to your seat, young lady, and not interfere with my thoughts?
21635Will you listen to that?
21635Will you run out to the kitchen and bring me a bowl of soup, my child?
21635William,she said gently,"what''s the matter with you lately?
21635Wo n''t I drink any more?
21635Wo n''t believe it? 21635 Would n''t Connie scream if she could hear that?
21635Write it up?
21635Yes, infant, who cheated, and how, and why? 21635 Yes, is n''t it?"
21635Yes, tall fellow with black hair and eyes, was n''t he? 21635 Yes,--didn''t you know it?"
21635Yesterday? 21635 You are n''t thinking of turning Christian Scientists, yourselves, are you?"
21635You ca n''t tell me?
21635You do n''t mean that Christian Science book, do you? 21635 You do n''t think I''m too young?"
21635You do n''t think there''s any danger of her falling in love with the wrong man?
21635You have known it a long time, have n''t you? 21635 You know, auntie darling--""Now, Carol, do n''t you suggest anything--""Oh, no indeed, dearest, how could you think of such a thing?"
21635You understand, do n''t you, father, that I''m just going to be plain married when the time comes? 21635 You would n''t want Prue to stick around and be an old maid, would you?
21635You''re not going?
21635You-- are?
21635You-- you?
21635_ Scianceanelth._"What?
21635_ Science and Health_? 21635 _ The Rubaiyat?_ By Khayyam?
21635_ The Rubaiyat?_ By Khayyam? 21635 And I think I would be justified in objecting if he deliberately made occasions for himself, do n''t you?
21635And Lark would answer,"Dandy!--Have you read this?"
21635And have n''t I the best complexion in Mount Mark?
21635And in reply to the first Jim always answered,"That''s a shame,--why did n''t you remember me and hold off?"
21635And what could Connie do?
21635And what on earth was she laughing at?"
21635And whence the startling array of pennies?
21635And why this unwonted affection for the heathen?"
21635And-- if I pick the cherries on the little tree, will you make a pie for dinner?"
21635Any objections?"
21635Are n''t men funny?
21635Are there any lemons, auntie?
21635Are we square?
21635Are we-- are we-- well, anyhow, what business has a minister''s daughter reading trash like this?"
21635Are you feeling well?''
21635Are you getting me?"
21635Are you intending to carpet your floors with it?"
21635Are you out of your head?"
21635Are you trying to run me out of my job?
21635Are you trying to throw yourself into the old school- teacher''s pocketbook, or what?"
21635Are your fingers itching to get hold of that four thousand a year the twins are eternally bragging about?
21635At least, you did n''t write, did you?"
21635At times Carol pointed to a line, and said in a low voice,"That''s good, is n''t it?"
21635Aunt Grace, will you put the iron on for me?
21635Babbie''s nice, and dear, and all that, and he''s so crazy about you, and-- do you love him?"
21635Back already?"
21635But I did n''t finish my news, did I?
21635But I do believe it was God who said,''What''s your father for?''
21635But I wonder if they ever do?
21635But have n''t I got to answer the call?"
21635But she lingered effectively, whispering softly:"Shall I lower the window, madame?
21635But they have to call it something, have n''t they?
21635But you can finish him off, ca n''t you?
21635But-- are they all alike, Professor?"
21635CHAPTER XII SOWING SEEDS"Have you seen Mrs. Harbert lately, Carol?"
21635Ca n''t I go and tell Connie and Lark?
21635Ca n''t I have a good time in my own way without the whole church pedaling me from door to door?"
21635Ca n''t you see we''re listening?"
21635Ca n''t you try to make it pleasant for him this week?
21635Can you take the responsibility of rearing a family that knows trouble only?
21635Can you trust me with the cherries?"
21635Carol adjusted the invalid auntie''s shawl once more, and was ready to go to the kitchen when a quiet:"Wo n''t Miss Carol sit down with us?"
21635Carol giggled softly to herself a few times, and Lark opened one eye, asking,"What''s amatter?"
21635Come in with me, wo n''t you, Larkie?"
21635Did it come?"
21635Did n''t he tell us to create a good impression?
21635Did n''t you get a new gray suit?
21635Did something bite you?"
21635Did you have any luncheon?
21635Did you notice how he glowed at Prudence?
21635Did you pack any clean handkerchiefs, auntie?
21635Did you put that dime in the bank?"
21635Dignity?
21635Do I look literary?
21635Do I look twenty- five dollars better than I did yesterday?"
21635Do my letters sound all right?
21635Do n''t all the men want to propose to a complexion like mine?"
21635Do n''t you remember what I told you?
21635Do n''t you remember, Lark, I said my head ached?"
21635Do n''t you see?
21635Do you dare cast in your fortunes with a parsonage bunch that revels in misfortune?
21635Do you get that?"
21635Do you have to enclose enough to bring them back?
21635Do you mean a live one?
21635Do you suppose he was kidnaping her?"
21635Do you think she looks like me?"
21635Do you think she''ll have me?"
21635Do you think we''re all wooden Indians?
21635Duke?"
21635Go on, daddy, who''s to be our next flock?"
21635Had the long and dearly desired war been declared at last?
21635Had they hired the awful Slaughterers to bring this disgrace upon the parsonage?
21635Has father gone out?"
21635Have n''t we any ideals?
21635Have n''t we any standards?
21635Have n''t you noticed how sweet and sunny and dear the twins have been lately?
21635Have the boys come?"
21635Have you been waiting, too?
21635He had not spoken, but something certainly had asked,"What''s your father for?"
21635He is coming, is n''t he?"
21635He_ is_ nice, is n''t he?
21635Hedges?"
21635Her"Good morning,--isn''t this glorious weather?"
21635Here, auntie, pin it over for me, will you?
21635Here, grandpa, what do you think of this?
21635Honestly, Jerry, is it Fairy?
21635Honestly?
21635How about it?
21635How about the letters, Carol?
21635How can I know whether it''s trash or not, unless I read it?
21635How can I?--How did I know?--What on earth,--Oh, Carol whatever made you smile at them?"
21635How did you get it all out in one breath?"
21635I certainly did n''t say it was I, did I?
21635I do enjoy a good correspondence with--""Do you?"
21635I do n''t know that I could do much better, do you, auntie?
21635I do n''t suppose we''ll need to take any money, auntie, do you?
21635I know there is n''t a girl like her in ten thousand, but-- she''s the one I want, and-- Carol, do you reckon there is any chance for me?
21635I mean if he proposes to you, are you going to turn him down, or not?"
21635I mean, are n''t you ahead of yourself?
21635I thought there was something wrong, and--""Sort of mentally unbalanced, is that it?
21635I''ve never told even Lark-- Well, one night, when I was a sophomore,--do you remember Bud Garvin?"
21635If you want to marry Lark, what in the world are you out here proposing to me for?"
21635Is Joe there?
21635Is he coming to- night?"
21635Is he here?"
21635Is it too cool?
21635Is it very nice?"
21635Is it-- that?
21635Is n''t Aunt Grace here on purpose to chaperon him and keep the ladies off?
21635Is n''t it a lovely day?
21635Is n''t it a shame?"
21635Is n''t life serious?"
21635Is n''t she sick?
21635Is n''t that a family gift?"
21635Is that Jim Forrest with them?
21635Is that proper?"
21635Is there anything on your mind?"
21635It was just the flannel, was it?
21635It''s Connie all right, is n''t it?
21635It''s a big mistake.--What on earth are the twins doing out there?
21635Just wait till I powder my nose, will you?
21635Lark does n''t have secrets from you, does she?
21635Lark,--where did you put that ripping knife?
21635Later in the day Prudence drew her aunt to one side and asked softly,"Was it much of a shock to you, Aunt Grace?
21635Let''s go out to the creek for a stroll ourselves, shall we?
21635Look on Him, believe in Him, worship Him, and in His name you stand O. K.''See?
21635May I bring a few pieces along?''
21635Mercy, father, does n''t the conference furnish the elders with houses?
21635Miss Starr?"
21635Now I think, Aunt Grace, lovely, it would be nice for you to wear your lavender lace gown, and look delicate, do n''t you?
21635Now we understand each other, do n''t we?"
21635Now what shall I do?"
21635Now you wo n''t give me away, will you?
21635Now, what?"
21635Oh, dear Mrs. Forrest, whatever in the world made you think that?"
21635Oh, why had n''t he wired?
21635On Elm Street?"
21635One evening at the dinner table Fairy said, with a mocking smile,"How are your Slaughter- house friends to- day, Carol?
21635P''fesser is not appropriate any more, is it?"
21635Papa, whatever shall we do?
21635Papa,--why do n''t you do something?"
21635Pretty fair boost for a struggling young author, do n''t you think?
21635Remember him?
21635Say, Fairy, you''ll be nice to Duckie, wo n''t you?
21635See here, do you mean to say you are making fun of Fairy Harmer?
21635See?
21635See?
21635Seven- six- two?
21635Shall I put your purse in my pocket?
21635Shall I tell you?"
21635She got most of our spending money for a good many years, did n''t she?"
21635That will be stagey, wo n''t it?
21635That''s not what you twins are devouring so ravenously, is it?"
21635The Starrs, therefore, would be transferred, and where?
21635The family drowned in soot to welcome you?
21635The girls stood stock- still and gazed at him, and then, with a violent struggle for self- composure Carol asked:"Did you get any of it in advance?
21635The nearest twin was summoned, and then he asked:"Have you twins got dates for the ball game?"
21635Then as he came slowly down the stairs, she said to her sisters again, anxiously:"Oh, girls, do keep nice and clean, wo n''t you?
21635There now, there now, baby, was she her daddy''s little girl?"
21635There''s father-- now, he never cared to kiss the girls even in his bad and balmy days, did you, daddy?
21635These fellows that break themselves--""Break themselves?"
21635Think it''s old age?"
21635Think you can manage a little oftener?"
21635This is the sixteenth dozen, is n''t it?
21635This spot on my thumb is fried egg, here are three doughnuts on my arm,--see them?
21635Was it a bitter disappointment?"
21635Was it a masterpiece, Connie?"
21635Was it a trick between her and Fairy?
21635Was n''t it dear of the Ladies''Aid to give you that dress for your birthday?
21635Was the conference good?
21635Was there any mail to- day?"
21635Was yours?"
21635We were playing with George Castle and Fritzie Zale.--Is it sticking out any place?"
21635We''ll take any kind of punishment, but keep it dark, wo n''t you?
21635Well, what do you know about that?"
21635What are you going to do with it now?"
21635What are you talking about?"
21635What business had he on the ice when he had a date--""Ready?"
21635What do you reckon I came down here for?
21635What do you think about it?"
21635What for?
21635What happened?
21635What in the world are you going to do with it all, anyhow?
21635What in the world did she mean?
21635What kind of poetry?
21635What shall I call you now?
21635What was it you tried to do for me?"
21635What would Prudence say?"
21635What''ll we tell the professor?"
21635What''s the joke now?"
21635What''s the object?
21635What''s yours?"
21635What?"
21635Whatever have you been doing to yourself overnight?"
21635Whatever made me think of such a stupid trick as that?"
21635When did you decide?"
21635When he only continued frowning at the letter in his hand, Carol spoke up brightly,"Yes, is n''t it?"
21635When you have finished it, give it to me, will you?
21635Whenever you find anything like that, Connie, will you bring it to me?
21635Where did it come from?"
21635Where did you get it?"
21635Where will we live now, father?"
21635Where''s my hat, Lark?
21635Where''s that other slipper?
21635Which do you prefer, Lark?"
21635Who''s the laugh on now?
21635Why do n''t you go and rave to her?"
21635Why do you do it?
21635Why would n''t he like it?
21635Why?"
21635Why?"
21635Will you do that much for us?"
21635Will you do your best?"
21635Wo n''t he, Connie?"
21635Would n''t I be a peach?"
21635Would you ever believe those twins are past fifteen, and nearly through their junior year?
21635Yes, they were leaving, but whither were they bound?
21635You ca n''t be married without Carol, can you?"
21635You have your hair fixed a new way, have n''t you?"
21635You love me, do n''t you?
21635You must arrange your hair in the most_ Ladies''Home Journal_ style, and--""What are you going to wear?"
21635You think they''ll be back soon, do you?"
21635You were there Tuesday, were n''t you?"
21635You wo n''t be cold?"
21635You wo n''t mind that, will you, Carol?"
21635You wo n''t pass it around for the family to laugh at, will you?"
21635You wo n''t then, will you?"
21635You would come up here to tease us, would you?
21635You would n''t say a word to his taking girls home from things, would you?"
21635You''ll be good, and help, wo n''t you?"
21635You''ll come to me, wo n''t you?"
21635You''ll forgive me this once, wo n''t you?
21635You''ll stay for luncheon with me, wo n''t you?
21635You''re sure you''ll treat him nicely?"
21635You''re the one with the literary longings, are n''t you?"
21635You-- you''re late, are n''t you?
18413A-- a-- a what?
18413Am I supposed to guess?
18413And Larkie, too?
18413And let us make taffy after supper?
18413And the baby?
18413And what are you going to be?
18413And what do they say of me?
18413And what shall we serve them?
18413And where in the world did you get these towels and silk shirts?
18413And where is the chair- bottom now?
18413And why did you take it?
18413And you two great big girls came off and left poor little Connie in there alone with a burglar, did you? 18413 And you understand, do n''t you, father, that if everything does not go just exactly right, I shall feel I am disgraced for life?
18413Are n''t they at home? 18413 Are n''t you Limber- Limb Grant?"
18413Are the girls at school?
18413Are the twins boys, or a boy and a girl?
18413Are these rotten oysters?
18413Are you assaulted?
18413Are you beginning to feel sick? 18413 Are you going to be busy this afternoon, Prudence?"
18413Are you going to live in Mount Mark now? 18413 Are you hurt?"
18413Are you sick, Prue?
18413Are you sick?
18413Are your feet wet, twins?
18413Been any men in here to- night?
18413Before?
18413But do n''t you see how hard it will be for me to go away?
18413But do n''t you want to get married,--some time?
18413But do you like her?
18413But how do you twins understand all these things so thoroughly?
18413But she will ask where we got it, and what shall we say?
18413But wo n''t it be rather-- poky-- just sitting in the front room by yourselves all evening?
18413But you precious child,he whispered,"why did n''t you call out, or pound on the door?"
18413Ca n''t you send those girls away for the night,--to some of the neighbors? 18413 Can I go and take a walk?"
18413Can you bring him here?
18413Can your father make her eat? 18413 Come down- stairs, will you?
18413Come now, what do they say? 18413 Could you walk from here to Burlington at one stretch?"
18413Did he look rich?
18413Did the twins play fair, Connie?
18413Did they say you might have them?
18413Did you ask Miss Allen about it?
18413Did you ever have a lover, Prudence? 18413 Did you ever?"
18413Did you get my application?
18413Did you know your sleeve was coming out?
18413Did you play football at college? 18413 Did you see him?"
18413Did you take the bottom out of this chair?--It must have been horribly uncomfortable for those who have sat there!--However did it happen?
18413Did you think I walked clear from Des Moines?
18413Did you? 18413 Did your father send you on an errand?"
18413Do n''t the twins tell you little things that happen at school,--like that, for instance?
18413Do n''t you have dreams of the future? 18413 Do n''t you have dreams?"
18413Do n''t you remember saying you could n''t swallow when we were coming home from school?
18413Do n''t you think you owe me something, as well as your father and sisters? 18413 Do n''t you think, my dear,"began Mrs. Prentiss too sweetly,"that they are a little more than you can manage?
18413Do n''t you want some fudge, Connie?
18413Do the twins dress alike?
18413Do you call that a blessing?
18413Do you drink?
18413Do you like Miss Allen?
18413Do you mean you want me to get my things, and go right now?
18413Do you mind if we take Jerry around by the woodshed for a few minutes, Prue?
18413Do you really prefer to stay at home, Prudence?
18413Do you see this board?
18413Do you suppose there can be seven devils in my tongue, Lark, like there are in the Bible?
18413Do you suppose they caught her?
18413Do you suppose you can find us some milk, Prue? 18413 Do you think I have pet bugs to carry around with me for company?"
18413Do you think it is all right for me to wear it, father?
18413Do you think me so unmanly that I could n''t fall in love?
18413Do you think we can carry home oysters for the-- the-- personal consumption of this Babbling young prince? 18413 Do you want me to rub it?"
18413Do your shoulders hurt, Carol?
18413Does Prudence know about that?
18413Does she miss me? 18413 Does that make it square?"
18413Else you would not have taken it, eh? 18413 Excuse me just a minute, will you?"
18413Fairy, did n''t father leave his watch hanging on that nail by the table? 18413 Father,"began Prudence, her eyes on the lace coverlet,"do you think it would be all right for me to wear that silk dressing- gown of mother''s?
18413Finish getting supper, will you, Fairy? 18413 Go in and entertain Babbie till I come down, wo n''t you?"
18413Has Prudence been worrying about something this winter?
18413Has she been grieving, and fretting for something?
18413Have heretics feelings?
18413Have n''t you seen the morning paper? 18413 Have you been sick?
18413Have you got any rotten ones?
18413How about the twins?
18413How do you do?
18413How do you expect to keep to- day''s minutes?
18413How is that?
18413How long did it take you coming from Des Moines to Mount Mark?
18413How much have you got?
18413How old are you, my dear?
18413How should I know? 18413 I am sure you are very nice indeed, and we are going to be good friends, are n''t we?
18413I am sure you will not mind that, will you father? 18413 I suppose it would hardly do to-- pop corn, would it?"
18413I''ll bet there are a lot of nice fellows in Mount Mark, are n''t there?
18413I-- I-- well, you know I-- you remember what I told you that first day, do n''t you? 18413 If I get below seventy will I be put down a grade?"
18413Is Des Moines just full of beautiful girls?
18413Is Mr. Harold in?
18413Is he handsome?
18413Is he young?
18413Is it a riddle?
18413Is n''t he a duck?
18413Is n''t it a dandy?
18413Is n''t it a lovely day? 18413 Is n''t it beautiful, Prudence?"
18413Is n''t it beautiful? 18413 Is n''t it beautiful?"
18413Is n''t she in on this?
18413Is n''t that Mrs. Adams coming this way? 18413 Is n''t that heresy?
18413Is she all right?
18413Is she better?
18413Is she sleeping?
18413Is she very stupid?
18413Is that your idea of love? 18413 Is there any way out of that closet besides this door?"
18413Is your throat still sore, Carol?
18413It is that young man, is n''t it?
18413It was n''t the one that had the giminy billibus, was it?
18413It''s a good thing father has to go to the trustees''meeting to- night, is n''t it?
18413It''s a pretty street, is n''t it?
18413It''s just Miss Avery getting home from school.--Isn''t it, Prudence? 18413 It''s nice she can sleep like that, is n''t it?"
18413It''s so hot walking, is n''t it? 18413 Jerry is out unusually early, too, is n''t he?
18413Jerry,he said abruptly,"did you and Prudence have a quarrel?
18413Just like ordinary men, is n''t he?
18413Just sit and look at each other and admire yourselves?
18413Let''s make taffy, shall we, Fairy?
18413Listen now, Prue,--how is this?
18413Look here, Prudence, what did Miss Allen tell you? 18413 Look here, Prue,--what do you make of this?
18413May I come in a minute?
18413Maybe he will,--but who will keep the parsonage while I am away?
18413Must you prepare meat for breading half an hour before cooking, or when?
18413No,said Lark,"we have better judgment than to go splashing through the wet old snow.--What''s the matter with you, Carol?
18413No,--but do n''t you remember the picnic,--and how you kept gathering them up in your handkerchiefs and putting them in your pockets? 18413 Now, tell father,"he urged,"how did you get in the dungeon?
18413Now, what is wrong? 18413 Now, what would you advise us to do?"
18413Now, will you twins run down- town for the oysters?
18413Oh, Carol,said Prudence reproachfully, wiping her eyes,"how could you start us all off like that?"
18413Oh, Des Moines is quite a city, is n''t it? 18413 Oh, Larkie, will you run up- stairs and bring my lace handkerchief?
18413Oh, Prudence, do you suppose the doctors will let me come in and watch them bandage your head? 18413 Oh, are you ready?"
18413Oh, father,she said quite snappily,"is n''t that just like me?"
18413Oh, we''ve had it in the house quite a while,said Prudence, adding swiftly,"Is n''t it warm, Connie?
18413Oh, why does n''t father do it?
18413Oh, yes, Lark,suggested Carol finally,"do n''t you remember she said the Bible was an allegory?"
18413Oh,--whatever will Mattie Moore say to me? 18413 Or this afternoon?
18413Papa says his feet are not wet, and that you are a big simpleton, and-- Oh, did you make cinnamon rolls to- day, Prue? 18413 People do not have sense in their bones, Fairy, and-- and-- shall I say professor, or just plain Mister?"
18413Prudence Starr,she cried furiously,"how dare you say such things of us?
18413Prudence, shall we have tea or coffee?
18413Put them on the table, Fairy dearest, and-- leave me for a little while, will you? 18413 Ride, sir?
18413Say, Grant, what''s a fellow like you doing on such a fifth- rate job as this? 18413 Say, Prudence, is n''t this that old brown coat of father''s?"
18413Shall I go down now? 18413 Shall I put flannel on her chest and throat, father?"
18413Shall I raise a window?
18413Shall we continue the meeting, Ladies?
18413She''s very pretty and sweet, is n''t she?
18413Sweet corn?
18413The Methodist minister''s little girl, is n''t it? 18413 The front room?"
18413The whole summer?
18413Then you had another coat?
18413To- morrow, Prudence? 18413 Was it a bad sprain?
18413Was it all right?
18413Was this something of yours, Fairy?
18413We saw him use his wings when Connie yanked him out of the big maple, did n''t we, Lark?
18413Well, first, are you a Christian?
18413Well, if this did n''t belong to one of you, whose was it?
18413Well, what can I do for you, Miss Constance?
18413Well, when does your Des Moines tour come off? 18413 What are you going to do all evening?"
18413What are you going to do to him?
18413What did Miss Allen say?
18413What did he say?
18413What did you do to this soup, Prudence?
18413What do they say of us?
18413What do you think of that?
18413What do you want it for?
18413What else did Miss Allen say at school?
18413What happened?
18413What has all this to do with Miss Allen?
18413What has she been doing?
18413What has that got to do with it?
18413What have you been doing all night? 18413 What have you been doing, Lark?"
18413What in the world did you say that for? 18413 What in the world did you think I would walk from Des Moines for?"
18413What in the world would they ever do without you, Prudence? 18413 What in the world?"
18413What in the world?
18413What is going on to- night?
18413What is the matter, Lark?
18413What is the matter? 18413 What is the matter?
18413What is there about me that you do not like?
18413What is unusual about the circumstances?
18413What kind of a smell?
18413What now? 18413 What''s that got to do with it?"
18413What?
18413What?--Oh!--Which do you want, Jerry?
18413When''s he coming back?
18413When''s that Morley chap coming back?
18413Where did you get this stuff?
18413Where does he live? 18413 Where in the world did you get hold of an idea like that?"
18413Where in the world did you get such an idea as that?
18413Where is he now?
18413Where is your baggage?
18413Where is your umbrella?
18413Where''s Connie? 18413 Which does your father prefer?"
18413Which is your way of saying that you do not like me, is n''t it?
18413Which of your professors do you like best?
18413Who shut that door?
18413Who wrote it? 18413 Who?
18413Whose coat is this, Prudence?
18413Whose?
18413Why are n''t you going to be married?
18413Why did n''t you talk it over with me, Prudence?
18413Why do n''t you? 18413 Why we wanted to make----""You and Lark?"
18413Why, you see, father, Jerry lives with his aunt in Des Moines,--he told you that, did n''t he? 18413 Why?
18413Why?
18413Why?
18413Will five dollars be enough?
18413Will you be warm enough?
18413Will you get the sirup now?
18413Will you kindly jab this into me?
18413Will you loan me twenty dollars until after Christmas, Connie?
18413Will you tell him that Constance Starr wishes to speak to him, privately, and that it is very important?
18413Wo n''t Fairy make us? 18413 Wo n''t Prudence tell you?"
18413Would n''t it be more fun to have the girls in for a little while?
18413Would n''t you like a little nice, hot, oyster stew?
18413Would you have promised, if she had asked it?
18413Yes, and have refreshments for just you two?
18413Yes, and have refreshments for just you two?
18413Yes, may I? 18413 Yes, of course.--When is he coming back?"
18413Yes?
18413You are Miss Starr, are n''t you?
18413You are Mr. Harmer, are n''t you? 18413 You are Mrs. Adams, are n''t you?
18413You see?
18413You''ve been up all night, have n''t you, dearest?
18413You-- did Prudence send you?
18413Your eyes are brown, are n''t they?
18413''Carol,''said Miss Adams gently,''you forgot yourself, did n''t you?''
18413A Methodist parsonage is not just in your line, is it?"
18413A little later he said,"Do you mind if I go upstairs and talk to your father a few minutes?
18413And Carol added,"Will you kiss Prudence good night for us, and tell her we kept praying all the time?
18413And Prudence said,''Now, father, on your word of honor, did you knock me down with that ball on purpose?''
18413And before Prudence was fairly inside the door, she demanded,"What is it?
18413And do you attend the college at Mount Mark?
18413And he said,''I wonder if your sister would n''t go?
18413And if ever I can help with poor little Hattie, will you let me know?
18413And she ca n''t talk about it yet, so be careful what you say, will you?"
18413And this exquisite board?"
18413And what do you suppose the weird creature did with it?
18413And what would the girls say if I should go back on them?
18413And when Connie came to the telephone, she cried,"Oh, you blessed little child, why did n''t you tell me?
18413And when we are better acquainted, will you let me call you Prudence?"
18413And who is Fairy?
18413And why should he be at it so early in the morning?
18413And wo n''t you stay for dinner with us?
18413And you ca n''t be happy without me, can you?"
18413And, do you mind if I just suggest that you go a little slow with Prudence?
18413Are n''t those twins unique?
18413Are n''t you going to give us one?"
18413Are the girls up yet?"
18413Are you coming to stay?"
18413Are you in a very great hurry this afternoon?
18413Are you raising him, too?"
18413Are you referring to this Babbling creature now?"
18413Are you sick?
18413Are your feelings hurt?"
18413Are your feet wet?"
18413As soon as they finished supper, Lark said,"Do n''t you think we''d better go right to bed, Prue?
18413Babbie''s such a giddy scatter- brained youngster, you''d think he''d prefer----""Do you like him, Fairy?
18413Before they went up- stairs, Lark inquired sarcastically:"I suppose, Fairy, you''ll don your best blue silk in honor of this event?"
18413But I guess you are n''t that kind, after all?"
18413But Prudence asked,"Where did you get this money, Connie?"
18413But do n''t you think it only fair that you should give me a chance to try?"
18413But does n''t the snow make you think-- pretty things, Prudence?
18413But her eyes clouded a little as she asked,"Do you think they would rather have Aunt Grace than me?"
18413But how in the world will you get home?
18413But is n''t it a nuisance to have him tagging along home with me, when I might be having such a good time with you and the twins, or father?
18413But is n''t it strange that the prettiest and dearest one of them all should be the oldest daughter?"
18413But it is perfectly glorious to have five hundred dollars, is n''t it?
18413But one simply ca n''t tell beforehand what to expect, can one?
18413But please, Prudence, wo n''t you punish me some way without letting Lark know about it?
18413But she looked so-- heartsick, did n''t she, Fairy?"
18413But the next question,--can you pass a strict physical examination?"
18413But what has happened to my girls?
18413But what has that to do with it?
18413But what of that?
18413But when she reached the top, and peered around her, she found little comfort,--and no desirable company?
18413But why?
18413But you will write to me, wo n''t you?"
18413But, Prudence, you wo n''t let Carol know, will you?
18413But-- doesn''t it seem wrong, father, that-- a girl-- that I-- should love Jerry more than-- you and the girls?
18413CHAPTER XIII SHE ORDERS HER LIFE"Prudence, are you going to Aunt Grace''s early in the summer, or late?"
18413Ca n''t we go somewhere else?"
18413Ca n''t you tell nice, interesting, mild stories?"
18413Ca n''t you wait just five minutes?
18413Can a girl tell a man she prefers to go home with her family, without hurting his feelings?
18413Can you carry her, father?"
18413Carrie''s my twin, and-- oh, father, do n''t you see how it is?"
18413Come now, as you stood at the window there, what were you thinking?"
18413Connie ran in excitedly, wanting to know what was the matter with everybody, and were n''t they to have any luncheon?
18413Could n''t you have pretended to be interested?
18413Dare she trust Lark in such a crisis?
18413Did I ever tell you what Carol said about that kitchen- dining- room- living- room combination at Exminster?
18413Did I judge my children by what was in their hearts, or just by the trouble they made me?"
18413Did n''t God bring us together, and make us love each other?
18413Did the twins ever tell you what happened the first day of school?"
18413Did you call me, Prudence?"
18413Did you ever have a coat like this, Prudence?
18413Did you ever have five hundred dollars before?
18413Did you ever see a rector jumping a three- wire fence, and running full speed across his front yard, in pursuit of a flying family?
18413Did you find out?
18413Did you make any noise coming down the stairs?"
18413Do n''t they talk of their professors at home at all?"
18413Do n''t you like me then, after all?"
18413Do n''t you really think an older woman is needed?"
18413Do n''t you remember the sheep and the goats?
18413Do n''t you remember what Orlando said about Rosalind,--''just as tall as my heart''?
18413Do n''t you see how it is?
18413Do n''t you see it is?
18413Do n''t you think He intended us for each other?
18413Do n''t you think he''s tiresome?
18413Do n''t you think our love for you is big enough to make us happy in seeing you happy?
18413Do n''t you think there is something awe- inspiring in the idea of just turning a little knob on the wall, and flooding a whole room with light?
18413Do n''t you want some more fudge?
18413Do n''t you?"
18413Do you expect the Ladies to look right through it?"
18413Do you get seasick when you climb high?"
18413Do you know what the scholars call Professor Duke?"
18413Do you know where the bottom of that chair has gone?"
18413Do you know which way is nearest to a house?
18413Do you like blue eyes?
18413Do you like riding in a car?"
18413Do you mean to say they have never told you about it?"
18413Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
18413Do you mind if I move my chair a little closer?"
18413Do you mind if I tie you in, to make assurance doubly sure?"
18413Do you remember how I shoved him away, and shuddered?
18413Do you remember that hill, father?
18413Do you see it?"
18413Do you see?
18413Do you suppose I could wipe my fingers with a handkerchief that had been in one of his pockets?"
18413Do you suppose you can do that, Jerry?
18413Do you think I want an invalid on my hands?"
18413Do you think it would be all right to send Limber- Limb Grant a letter of thanks for it?
18413Do you think it would be all right?
18413Do you think we are as despicable as all that?
18413Do you think we''d better tell Prudence all about it?"
18413Do you think you can let me have it?"
18413Do you want it a little shorter, Connie, or is that about right?"
18413Do you want me to call you Jerry still?"
18413Do you want to come with me?"
18413Do you want to keep us away from her to attend to you?"
18413Do you want to make Carrie worse?"
18413Do you wish you had never met me?"
18413Do you?"
18413Do your friends call you Jerry?"
18413Do-- do you love me so much, my dearest?"
18413Does it pain you very badly?
18413Does n''t he require sleep, as the rest of us do?"
18413Does n''t it seem-- wicked?"
18413Does she seem sorry that I am away?
18413Does your head still ache?"
18413Even Prudence laughed a little at this, but she said,"Why do n''t you scold her?"
18413Every mother there was asking in her heart,"Did I punish my children just for the effect on me?
18413Explain it to the girls, will you?"
18413Fairy sank back, intensely mortified, and Miss Carr chirped brightly:"Oh, Fairy, dear, did you write this little poem?
18413Fairy stifled her laughter with difficulty, and said in a low voice,"Would n''t you like a little nice, hot, oyster stew?"
18413Father''s coat, I mean?"
18413Father, will you put on your black suit, or are you too busy?
18413Five dollars you say you want?"
18413From Des Moines?"
18413Go to bed, wo n''t you, sweetheart?
18413Goodness knows I eat enough-- Why, what is the matter?"
18413Had the awful twins filled it with needles for the reception of the poor Ladies?
18413Harmer?"
18413Harold?"
18413Harold?"
18413Has Connie been in mischief?"
18413Has the parsonage a porch?"
18413Have I ever failed you?
18413Have you been eating?
18413He closed the door after him, did n''t he, Lark?"
18413He offered me his handkerchief to wipe it off?
18413He stepped into the closet, did n''t he, Lark?"
18413Honestly, may I go up to- morrow?
18413How can you think of such sweet little things?
18413How did you get him in the closet?
18413How do they expect parsonage people to keep up appearances when they have n''t any money?"
18413How far is it to Mount Mark?
18413How many times have I told you not to tell weird stories like that?
18413How much will the interest be on five dollars?"
18413How old are you?"
18413I am an abominably solid sleeper, am I not?
18413I do not have to go, do I?
18413I love houses with porches, do n''t you?
18413I thought father had forgotten to take his watch with him, but it was n''t there.--Do you really think it was Sunday he forgot it, Fairy?"
18413I''ll be just at the head of the stairs, and if Prudence wants me, you will call, wo n''t you, Mr. Harmer?
18413I''ll----""Prudence, do you use half milk and half water for creamed tomato soup, or all milk?"
18413I''m not going to get married, so it would be silly to fall in love, would n''t it?"
18413I''m so fond of crackers and milk, are n''t you, Babbie?"
18413I-- I like it better to be with my sisters than----""Than with me?
18413I-- you will be nice to him, wo n''t you?"
18413If I fail them, will they ever trust anybody else?
18413If I make you some soup, will you eat it?"
18413If he commands her?"
18413Imes?"
18413Instantly Connie was asked the all- important question:"Are your feet wet?"
18413Is Jerry coming to spend Christmas with us?"
18413Is anything wrong?
18413Is anything wrong?"
18413Is it my fault?"
18413Is it very awful?"
18413Is it very nice?
18413Is n''t it a beauty?"
18413Is n''t it a funny name, father?
18413Is n''t it about time for the twins to get here, Prudence?
18413Is n''t it nice that we can count on Fairy''s remembering?"
18413Is n''t it pretty?
18413Is n''t that a handsome Venus?
18413Is n''t this a lovely yard?
18413Is that all right?
18413Is that the school over there?"
18413Is that where you live?"
18413Is there any way to turn a person down without letting him know it?
18413Is your father very strict?
18413It comes in very handy right now, does n''t it?
18413It does n''t seem so bad, does it?
18413It is a sad thing to think of a college professor being called Fairy all her life, is n''t it?
18413It must have taken every cent of your money, did n''t it?
18413It was mighty lucky he happened along, was n''t it?
18413It''s a great honor for me to have the privilege of bringing up four clever girls to do great things,--don''t you think?
18413It''s-- do you-- do you notice a-- a funny smell in here?
18413Jerry Harmer, you need me to take care of you, do n''t you?"
18413Leaning forward suddenly, she said,"Miss Starr, why do the twins dislike me?"
18413Let me run up- stairs first, wo n''t you?
18413Let me take it to- morrow morning, will you?
18413Let''s just be friends now, ca n''t we-- until later-- for a long time yet?
18413May I examine your foot?"
18413May I have it?
18413May I keep it?
18413May I open the door, Prudence?"
18413May n''t I read it aloud?"
18413Maybe if you will send me a paper and pencil-- I can write him a note now?
18413Morgan?"
18413Morgan?"
18413Now what are you going to do as a last resort?''
18413Now what do you reckon he meant by that, Fairy?
18413Now, do not talk too much, Prue, and-- what shall we have for dinner?
18413Now, why?
18413Now, will I dare to come back to- morrow if I stay for dinner to- night?
18413Now,--oh, Fairy, did you remember to dust the back of the dresser in our bedroom?"
18413Of course, the reporters can practise balancing them scientifically,--but how does it happen that they always have aquiline noses?
18413Oh, Connie, wo n''t you turn the clock a little this way, so I can see it?
18413Oh, it does look nice, does n''t it, Fairy?
18413Oh, that''s Christian Science, is n''t it?
18413Oh, what is it?"
18413On my right side, Fairy, do you understand what that means?
18413Or am I imagining it?
18413Professor likes women to be dignified and intellectual and deep, and----""Then why on earth did he ask me to go?"
18413Prudence knows it, but she did not make me promise to quit that?"
18413Red crosses make a very pretty decoration, do n''t you think they do, Lark?"
18413Shall I get the maple sirup for the pancakes?
18413She''s as bad as the priest and Levite, is n''t she?"
18413Should they go farther?
18413So I said,''Do you mean Prudence, or one of the twins?''
18413Something was hurting them, but whether it was their fear of the wrath of Prudence, or the twinges of tender consciences,--who can say?
18413Sometime will you let me ride your wheel?"
18413Suppose you should see a blackbird running a race down the street with a sparrow, what would you call it?''
18413Thank you, Lark,--isn''t it a pretty handkerchief?
18413That he should come first?
18413The Ladies smiled, and Miss Carr, laughing lightly, said,"She is an attentive creature, is n''t she?"
18413The boy could n''t imagine, and professor said,''What would you call that, Carol?''
18413The parables, for instance,--what are they?
18413The question is, What shall it be?"
18413The soup is ready, and piping hot,--but what is it you want me to say?"
18413The very best and closest of friends?"
18413The what?"
18413Then as Prudence rose to go home, she asked eagerly,"Do you think the twins will like me now?"
18413Then as he turned toward the door, he asked carelessly,"Is he very good- looking, Prudence?"
18413Then he said,''Now, Carol, if I was the king''s eldest son, what would you call me?''
18413Then leaning forward:"What do you do, Miss Avery, when you meet people you dislike at very first sight?"
18413Then said Prudence, seemingly of her own free will, but really directed by an all- controlling Providence,"Is n''t it great fun to ride a bicycle?
18413Then she added rather shyly,"Fairy, are you ashamed of me sometimes?
18413Then she inquired in a low voice,"Did you tell him why you wanted it?"
18413Then she said significantly,"I suppose you are going to divide with us?"
18413Then with the admirable board beneath my arm, I mount to the heights of-- Say, twins, did n''t I see an old buggy seat out in the barn to- day?
18413Then you must come to the door and say,''Would n''t you like a little oyster stew?''
18413Then,"Did you send him anything, Prue?"
18413There is school to- morrow, is n''t there?"
18413There''s no use waiting, is there?
18413They were exasperating, and humiliating, too, but what did they do that was really mean?
18413They will tell you if you ask them, wo n''t they?"
18413This is almost bordering on talent, is n''t it?
18413Us?"
18413Was she complaining about us?
18413Was the ride very hard on your ankle?"
18413We are, are n''t we?
18413We ask her,"What if you had not gone out for a ride that morning?"
18413We did it for a good purpose, do n''t you see we did?
18413Well, she asked us a riddle,''When is a dining- room not a dining- room?''
18413What are you going to do?''
18413What are you talking about?"
18413What do you care about college?"
18413What do you suppose could have sent the lover away like that?"
18413What does it smell like?"
18413What had Miss Allen told their sister?
18413What have I done?
18413What have they been doing?
18413What have they done to- day?
18413What in the world do you want the back of the dresser dusted for?
18413What in the world had happened to separate in the morning these two who had been kissing so frankly in the back yard the evening before?
18413What in the world has she done?"
18413What in the world is that?"
18413What is his line?"
18413What is the matter?
18413What matter?
18413What shall I do?"
18413What shall we have?"
18413What time is it, Fairy?"
18413What was he doing in the hickory grove?"
18413What was her errand?
18413What was it you said?"
18413What will they do when you get married?"
18413What would etiquette think of her, after this?
18413What would the-- others do without you?
18413What''s the job?"
18413What, then, was the explanation?
18413What----""I forget what you told me to say,"whispered Prudence wretchedly,"what was it?
18413Whatever had they been doing now?
18413When the college girls are here, and you are all talking so brilliantly, are n''t you kind of mortified that I am so stupid and dull?
18413Where are they?
18413Where did it come from?"
18413Where did you get it?"
18413Where''s the money?"
18413Who could have sense on such a day, with such a girl as this?
18413Who would keep the parsonage?
18413Who would look after you?"
18413Who would raise the girls?
18413Why am I always so ravenously hungry in the morning?
18413Why are you all hugging the register, may I ask?
18413Why are you staying away?"
18413Why did n''t you call me?
18413Why do n''t they keep their pledges?
18413Why do n''t they pay for their religion?"
18413Why do n''t you mind me, and do as I tell you?
18413Why do n''t you sit still?
18413Why do they call it Mount Mark?"
18413Why in the world did n''t you tell us beforehand?"
18413Why was Lark going upstairs?
18413Why wo n''t the twins give me a chance?
18413Why, then, do you go back on me now, when you really need me?"
18413Why?
18413Why?"
18413Will that be all right?
18413Will you be down soon?"
18413Will you carry me in?"
18413Will you come in?"
18413Will you do it?
18413Will you do that, twinnies?"
18413Will you do that?"
18413Will you do this for me?"
18413Will you eat in the dining- room?"
18413Will you forgive me, Connie?
18413Will you forgive me?
18413Will you promise?"
18413Wo n''t it be a good joke on her?"
18413Wo n''t that be better?"
18413Wo n''t that do?"
18413Wo n''t that do?"
18413Wo n''t they break your pledge if you leave them out?"
18413Wo n''t you be a good girl now, and not make sister feel badly about it?
18413Would I ever go to bed without making sure that Connie was safe and sound?"
18413Would n''t Connie say that was disgracing the parsonage?"
18413Would n''t it be glorious?"
18413Would n''t the twins have laughed?
18413Would that be just or fair?
18413Would you keep these pearls on, Fairy, or would you take them off?"
18413Would your father let you spend a week?
18413You are the soul of the parsonage, are n''t you?"
18413You call me Jerry, will you?"
18413You know I didn''t!--But-- maybe Jerry wo n''t forgive me now?"
18413You know what an atheist is, do n''t you?
18413You know what heresy is, do n''t you?
18413You might get cross, and take them away from me.--Did you go to college?"
18413You see, father, I really feel that this is a crisis in the life of the parsonage----""How long does a parsonage usually live?"
18413You want me to call you Jerry, do n''t you?"
18413You will stay, wo n''t you?"
18413You''re Mr. Starr, the Methodist minister at Mount Mark, are n''t you?"
18413You''re not just fooling me, are you?
18413You''ve never had a vacation in your life, and father promised Aunt Grace on his reputation as a minister, did n''t you, papa?"
18413[ Illustration:"Yes, and have refreshments for just you two?"]
18413are you asleep?"
