29057 | Are they not found in our Legislative Halls in fair proportion with men of different pursuits? |
29057 | Are they not regarded as being on a level at least with those of other callings in social importance? |
29057 | Assuming all this to be undeniably true, where can be found more potent agencies in the work of elevation than Agricultural Colleges? |
29057 | But although the farmers have emerged from this condition very slowly, yet what is their position now? |
29057 | But have the farmers of this State, as a class, heretofore recognized this fact? |

29057 | Will ignorance and bad husbandry increase his crops or enable him to find a better market for his products? |

29608 | Mr.----,said he one morning when the officers were grouped in front of his tent in response to''officers''call,''"Mr.----, have you gloves, sir?" |

29608 | Well,said I,"have you recovered and are you ready for duty?" |
29608 | What is the position? |
29608 | Where did I meet you? |

29608 | How about Mexico and Maximilian? |
29608 | I said to him:"Colonel, what would you do if you were in my place?" |
29608 | In the meantime, what was the infantry doing? |
29608 | May it not then be said with truth that he was"distant and detached"and"without orders that contemplate the contingency?" |
29608 | The officers were introduced, one by one, and Mr. Lincoln gave each hand a shake as he uttered a perfunctory, but kindly,"How do you do?" |

29608 | Who comes there?" |
29608 | Why not put hoops on and make them into barrels? |
29608 | Why then wonder if historians differ also? |
29608 | Why try to prolong the war and cause further useless bloodshed?" |
29608 | Would Lee allow that and go on to Baltimore, or turn and meet the army that Hooker was massing against him? |

34769 | Did the King ever give you orders what to do? |
34769 | Do you like children? |
34769 | Now do you wonder I am glad of Strang''s death? |
34769 | Now who will go to England, Ireland and Scotland with you these long winter evenings? |
34769 | Oh mother, did you know of this? |
34769 | Was it for this I had suffered cold and hunger, leaving our comfortable home in New York State? 34769 Why do you want these men? |
34769 | After awhile she said,''Walter, are we safe?'' |
34769 | Are you lonesome for the friends you have left in your old home?" |
34769 | As I ran past without stopping, he said,"Are n''t you going to shake hands?" |
34769 | Bob, my old friend, was dead, and I sobbed,"Oh, boys, what made you kill Bob?" |
34769 | Could it be possible they had killed our friend and neighbor? |
34769 | Could their places ever be filled? |
34769 | Do n''t you know poor John has no one with him, his mother is dead?" |
34769 | Do n''t you know the red light is giving you a welcome?" |
34769 | England, Ireland or Scotland?" |
34769 | H----?" |
34769 | H----?" |
34769 | Has there been such things done?" |
34769 | He kissed the children saying,"Who is this little girl?" |
34769 | He talked about many things and after a little while he said,"Where is your little girl?" |
34769 | How can I describe it as I saw it in after years? |
34769 | How often I said to John,"Now you will be good to father and mother, wo n''t you? |
34769 | I remember one day Uncle Loaney coming in and saying to father,"Sure Mr. Whitney, why do n''t you kill that old dog? |
34769 | I said to her,"Would you leave Traverse City and go to Beaver Island?" |
34769 | I said to mother,"Oh, where shall I go, I am so afraid of Strang?" |
34769 | I said,"Is it true? |
34769 | I said,"Mary, who lived here?" |
34769 | I said,"Where did the other two come from?" |
34769 | I told God all about my sorrows, saying,"Oh wo n''t you help me and take me home to my father?" |
34769 | I was following her when Mrs. Shepard said,"Child are n''t you going to kiss me and the children?" |
34769 | In sorrow she kneels on that wave- beaten shore,"Shall I never, see my dear sailor boy more?" |
34769 | Mary saw I felt sad and said,"Why do you cry? |
34769 | Mother said to them,"Why do you call upon man to help you? |
34769 | Mother said,"Spring is here, now do n''t you hear the birds sing?" |
34769 | Once I said,"Are you going away?" |
34769 | Once I said,"John were you ever homesick?" |
34769 | She said,"Do you want to go?" |
34769 | Soon the captain came in, saying,"Is this the little girl that is homesick?" |
34769 | The Captain said to me,"Little girl did you get lots of patience this winter?" |
34769 | The first words he spoke were,''Doctor can I go? |
34769 | Then he would get his books, saying,"Now, children, where shall we go tonight? |
34769 | They would not listen, saying,"Has not our King the revelations revealed to him?" |
34769 | We have worked and suffered together and do I not know how you have endured hunger and cold and gave up our pleasant home to come here with me? |
34769 | What did they mean? |
34769 | What more is needed of nature''s beauty to make the picture complete? |
34769 | When Strang came again he said to mother,"I am going to make a Mormon of your husband and what will you do when he brings home more wives?" |
34769 | When the older brothers came they said,"Why did n''t you trade little sister for the fawn and two cub bears?" |
34769 | Why did I let them go? |
34769 | Why do n''t you call upon God and pray to him for help?" |
34769 | Why not let them go when they do not want to stay with you? |
34769 | Will a boat soon come to take me home to my wife?'' |
34769 | Will you take me home?" |
6988 | Ca n''t you tell me the cost for your board per week? |
6988 | Can you do any kind of work? |
6988 | Do n''t you see the blood on my nose? |
6988 | Have you already forgottensaid Saw- ge- maw triumphantly,"that you have greatly insulted me on your borders? |
6988 | How much for books and clothing? |
6988 | Is it for business? |
6988 | Is it possible? 6988 Well, Mr. Blackbird, do you wish to attend our school?" |
6988 | Well, who knows? 6988 What are their names?" |
6988 | What,--she seemed to be very much surprised--"Mr. Alvin Coe the traveling missionary?" |
6988 | Where are they now? |
6988 | Working on a farm, eh? 6988 Would you not like to learn the blacksmith trade? |
6988 | A- zhawd, going; au- ne- pe a- zhawd? |
6988 | And where are those lawful promises gone to now? |
6988 | Are you chopping? |
6988 | Are you hungry? |
6988 | Are you sick? |
6988 | Are you thirsty? |
6988 | Are you well? |
6988 | As we went along this noble young man said to me,"My boy, would you like to come with us to Grand Traverse?" |
6988 | At the end of his shouting he thought he heard some one responding to his call,"Wau?" |
6988 | Au- ne- dosh wau- e- ke- to yon? |
6988 | Au- ne- pesh a- zhaw yon? |
6988 | Au- ne- pesh wen- dje- baw yon? |
6988 | Au- ne- pish kaw- e- zhawd? |
6988 | Au- ne- pish kos e- zhat? |
6988 | Au- nish a- naw- tchi- moo- tawk? |
6988 | Au- nish a- zhe- wa- bawk mon- daw? |
6988 | Au- nish a- zhe- we- be- sit au- we? |
6988 | Au- nish au- pe- daw- taw- gwe- she non? |
6988 | Au- nish mon- daw e- naw- gen deg? |
6988 | But where is the means to take me through for completing my education? |
6988 | Ca n''t you come down?" |
6988 | Do you hear? |
6988 | Do you listen? |
6988 | Do you understand me? |
6988 | Do you understand? |
6988 | Have you eaten? |
6988 | Have you seen and told the Indian agent of this matter?" |
6988 | He listened a few minutes, and again he called as before, and again heard distinctly the same response,"Wau?" |
6988 | He never even said,"How do you do?" |
6988 | He said,"Are you going?" |
6988 | He said,"Hello, what are you doing up there? |
6988 | I thought you came here on purpose to attend school?" |
6988 | Is it bad news? |
6988 | Is it for this that we have been plundered, and expelled at the point of the bayonet from the hallowed graves of our brothers and sires? |
6988 | Is it good news? |
6988 | Is this the wail now sounding For my unhappy future? |
6988 | Ke- baw- kaw- tay naw? |
6988 | Ke- ge- we- sin naw? |
6988 | Ke- gus- kaw- naw- baw- gwe naw? |
6988 | Ke- maw- ne- say naw? |

6988 | Ke- pe- sen- dom naw? |
6988 | Ke- taw- kos naw? |
6988 | Maw- tchi e- naw- kaw- me- got naw? |
6988 | Me- no e- naw- kaw- me- got naw? |
6988 | My father, Saw- ge- maw, what is the cause of your coming upon us so suddenly with death, as we have never wronged your race?" |
6988 | O- da me- tchaw- ne, he has a big heart Ke- ne- se- to- tom naw? |
6988 | Of course he did not know who might be Kaw- be- naw among the Ottawas, therefore he sang out, saying,"Where is your great Kaw- be- naw? |
6988 | Our cousin again questioned the boy,"How did you come to find these Wa- me- te- go- zhe- wog here?" |
6988 | So one of the warriors replied,"Do n''t you know that you have buried our great Kaw- be- naw in the pit yesterday?" |
6988 | The Wenebagoes said,"How and where?" |
6988 | Thus, the answer to the question, What is he eating? |
6988 | Very soon one of the young men came up to me, saying,"Are you going to attend our school here?" |
6988 | We- go- nash wau- au- yaw mon? |
6988 | Well, children, have you any meat? |
6988 | What are you afraid of? |
6988 | What did he tell you? |
6988 | What do you want? |
6988 | What is it about him?" |
6988 | What is that I hear, So mournfully ringing in my ear, Like a death song of warriors, For those who fell by their brave sires? |
6988 | What is the matter with him? |
6988 | What is the matter with him?" |
6988 | What is the matter with that? |
6988 | What is the price? |
6988 | What must be the feelings of this poor Indian, to whom life was as sweet as to any human creature? |
6988 | What revenge should he take upon those traders? |
6988 | What shall you say? |
6988 | When did you come? |
6988 | Where are you from? |
6988 | Where are you going? |
6988 | Where did he go? |
6988 | Where did your father go? |
6988 | Where do you intend to go?" |
6988 | Who fed you? |
6988 | are you prepared to enter such a college?" |
6988 | but immediately began, saying,"Well, sir, how much do you think that it will cost for your schooling at Ypsilanti?" |
6988 | where did he go? |
44637 | ''Fraid? |
44637 | A game, Beely, you call that game, do you, when you scare ole Antoine out his wit? 44637 And did the bear chase you, Antoine?" |
44637 | And was all the mail from the big world brought to Mackinaw that way when you were a little boy? |
44637 | And when you got there, what happened, Antoine? |
44637 | And you did n''t even see the bear? |
44637 | Antoine, what do you mean? |
44637 | Billy Grannis,called Aunt Florence,"what''s the matter?" |
44637 | Billy, what ails you? 44637 But I was a steamboat then,"protested Billy,"and, anyway, I came after you, did n''t I?" |
44637 | But what are the flags for? |
44637 | But where are your tomahawks, and what''s going to happen, I say? |
44637 | But where did the traineaus start and where did they go? |
44637 | But where have you been all this time? |
44637 | But why do n''t you want to play Grace Darling? |
44637 | But, auntie, how will you begin? |
44637 | Ca n''t you pull in the line? |
44637 | Catch minnows; do n''t you want to? |
44637 | Did he come out here to have you tell him fish stories? |
44637 | Did n''t you find your little girl at home, Betty? |
44637 | Did you ever get left, smarty Gerald? 44637 Do n''t I? |
44637 | Do n''t you know she said she''d stay here till dark? |
44637 | Do n''t you see, they''re just tame Indians, and would n''t hurt anybody? 44637 Do n''t you want to see our baby?" |
44637 | Do you ever see Indians around here nowadays? |
44637 | Fun, is n''t it? |
44637 | He died while he was asleep, did he, Antoine? |
44637 | How are you going to begin, Aunt Florence? |
44637 | How do they use the other flags? |
44637 | Hunting the Frenchman? |
44637 | I never heard of it, Antoine, what is it? |
44637 | I s''pose he ai n''t like the new baby pretty good? |
44637 | I tole you dog story, hey? 44637 I would n''t have said a word if you had n''t asked me,"concluded Billy,"and now you''ll tell us a bear story, wo n''t you?" |
44637 | Is it a bear story? |
44637 | It seems a hundred years since you were here last,he continued;"have you been working in the cedar swamp all that time?" |
44637 | It''s the sunbonnet girls,gasped Betty;"what do you s''pose is the matter? |
44637 | May I play with Frenchy? |
44637 | Minnows? |
44637 | Oh, Billy, what if there is a lot of folks at the old fort? 44637 Oh, Billy,"he wailed"we left our clothes too near the fire, and they''re all burned up; what can we do?" |
44637 | Oh, I say, Bill,suggested Gerald,"instead of getting Hero, why do n''t you tow Antoine into port?" |
44637 | Oh, look,exclaimed the twins,"what''s coming?" |
44637 | Oh, my, were n''t you afraid, Antoine? |
44637 | Oh, not very often; it is rather dreary, is n''t it, auntie? 44637 Oh, what shall we do?" |

44637 | That''s all right for you, Beely, but how did Antoine know the dog she would n''t bite one moskeet? 44637 The fort,"repeated Aunt Florence,"where is it?" |
44637 | Then you''ve eaten it up, and now who''s a pig, I''d like to know? 44637 We can make a bonfire on the beach, see?" |

44637 | Where''s Gerald? |
44637 | Where''s that Betty? |
44637 | Where-- where''s your gun? |
44637 | Where? 44637 Who cares?" |
44637 | Who ever''d think you''d do such a thing, Billy? 44637 Who would report boats, Billy, if your father and the man both go to the woods?" |
44637 | Why did n''t they use big sleighs and horses? |
44637 | Why did the minister come to see you? |
44637 | Why do n''t you make signal- flags, like the ones on the chart? |
44637 | Why not, Billy? |
44637 | Why not? |
44637 | Why not? |
44637 | Why, Antoine, why did n''t you shoot him? |
44637 | Why, Bet,was the remonstrance,"what makes you be so cross? |
44637 | Why, Billy, do n''t you see? 44637 Why, auntie, do n''t you know? |

44637 | Why, is n''t it nice, Antoine? 44637 Why, why, Antoine,"Billy demanded,"how could the driver carry stones enough to last even one hundred miles, I''d like to know?" |
44637 | Why, yes, but what are you laughing at, Antoine? |
44637 | Wo n''t she jump, though? |
44637 | Wo n''t you catch it? |
44637 | Yes, go on, you went hunting, and what happened? |
44637 | Antoine laughed long and loud before saying:"Beely, you think your aunt like one bear story?" |
44637 | Beely call ole Antoine, and ole Antoine he play steamboat, hey, Beely? |
44637 | Besides that, what''s the use of my trying to do what you and Aunt Florence could n''t?" |
44637 | Betty Grannis, do you mean to tell me that you ever come out here to the old fort alone?" |
44637 | CHAPTER V. ANTOINE LEBRINN"Tell you a bear story, Beely? |
44637 | Ca n''t you give him a gun, Billy? |
44637 | Can you see one decoy fish?" |
44637 | Choo-- choo-- choo!--where''s my tow- line?" |
44637 | Did it come in canoes?" |
44637 | Did you ever read''The Conspiracy of Pontiac,''auntie?" |
44637 | Did you never hear of a traineau?" |
44637 | Do n''t you ever be a sailor, Billy, will you?" |
44637 | Do n''t you feel queer, Hero, when you talk to somebody that is n''t there?" |
44637 | Do n''t you know I''m a boat? |
44637 | Do n''t you see the little Indian children and the squaws, too? |
44637 | Do n''t you see? |
44637 | Do n''t you understand? |
44637 | Do n''t you want to go swimmun, Billy?" |
44637 | Do you know?" |
44637 | Do you want to be the lion- tamer this time, Bet? |
44637 | Do you want to know what happened to him in the spring of 1761, two years before the massacre?" |
44637 | Fish shanty ai n''t big like the town hall?" |
44637 | Game, hey?" |
44637 | Gerald will help you, Billy, wo n''t you, Gerald?" |
44637 | Go on, why do n''t you? |
44637 | Have you read it?" |
44637 | Have you two escaped from a circus, or do you want to join one, which?" |
44637 | Hey, Bet?" |
44637 | How could you have the boldness to venture among us, his children? |
44637 | How much longer is this Indian trail, anyway?" |
44637 | How you like that?" |
44637 | I think I hear him stirring and asking for his children, the Indians, and, when he does awake, what must become of you? |
44637 | I''ll bring my gun next time,"warned Antoine;"then let him sniff at me, hey, Beely?" |
44637 | I''ll let you take my big dog; do you want to, Betty?" |
44637 | Ignace?" |
44637 | Is n''t it queer about Indian trails, how they wind in and out so often? |
44637 | Is n''t this the sweetest place for a party you ever heard of? |
44637 | It''s a shivering kind, though,--ice- cream and cake; want some?" |
44637 | Now what are you going to say?" |
44637 | Oh, that''s the way you do it? |
44637 | She says she''s glad of it-- only-- only--"How could Billy explain the errand upon which Aunt Florence had come? |
44637 | Well, well, what''s the matter with Beely? |
44637 | What do you say, Billy?" |
44637 | What if the stockade should tumble in?" |
44637 | What is the matter?" |
44637 | What''ll we do this afternoon,''Phonse?" |
44637 | What''s the matter with you, Gerald,--tooth- ache?" |
44637 | What?" |
44637 | Where''s my hat? |
44637 | Where''s your papa? |
44637 | Who could?" |
44637 | Who''s going to be captain of the shipwrecked boat, you, Billy, or Gerald? |
44637 | Why do n''t you go back in the other room?" |
44637 | Why not?" |
44637 | Will you take me sometime?" |
44637 | You ai n''t know Antoine can sing, eh?" |
44637 | You ca n''t remember your grandfather and grandmother at all, can you, Billy?" |
44637 | You can sit right still on your box and reach all the walls, ca n''t you? |
44637 | You say your papa she go to the post- office, hey?" |
44637 | asked Billy,"and why do they put letters beside of them on the chart?" |
44637 | can you see him, Betty?" |
44637 | persisted Betty;"and did you ever get a letter?" |
37871 | A spring schicken? |
37871 | And blankets? |
37871 | And have n''t I a beautiful soul too? |
37871 | And quilts? |
37871 | And what in the name of common sense would you do with it? |
37871 | Are n''t some of you young people going to sit down with me? |
37871 | Are n''t we going to have a perfectly glorious summer? |
37871 | Are there a great many mice and burglars in this neighborhood? |
37871 | Are you sure you left them in your boxes? |
37871 | Are you very timid? |
37871 | Are you_ very_ particular,asked Jean, coming forward,"about what kind of room it is?" |
37871 | Bettie,asked Jean with her arms about Mabel,"do you think it would do any good to ask your father about it? |
37871 | But can you sleep without them? |
37871 | But what am I to do while I''m waiting for you to grow up? |
37871 | But, Bettie,said Mrs. Tucker, when her little daughter, helped by the other three, had explained the situation,"are you_ sure_ she''s nice? |
37871 | But,queried Mabel, who was sometimes almost too inquisitive,"have n''t you any relatives, husbands, or_ anybody_, in all the world?" |
37871 | Ca n''t I do something more for you? |
37871 | Could I go upstairs to look at the room? |
37871 | Could n''t we cover the dirtiest places with pieces of old carpet? |
37871 | Could n''t we thread about a million needles for you? 37871 Could you get a stick of wood from the shed and make me a cup of tea? |
37871 | Did you get a whole pitcherful out of one lemon? |
37871 | Did you use to know her? |
37871 | Do n''t you know that we decided not to say a word about those other things? 37871 Do n''t you want Dr. Bennett to look at your foot? |
37871 | Do you know how to scrub? |
37871 | Do you s''pose he''s some kind of a lawyer, or--and Mabel turned pale at the thought--"a policeman disguised as a-- a human being? |
37871 | Do you suppose there''s anything the matter with it? |
37871 | Do you think you can go_ any_ place looking like that? 37871 Do you think,"asked Mabel, with sudden concern,"that Mr. Milligan_ could_ get us turned out of the cottage? |
37871 | Flower beds too? 37871 Hard work?" |
37871 | Has anyone stepped on it? |
37871 | Have n''t you_ any_ children? |
37871 | Hens lay eggs, do n''t they? 37871 How am I ever to get in? |
37871 | How are you youngsters getting along? |
37871 | How much do you have left? |
37871 | How much? |
37871 | How would it be,asked Marjory, cautiously,"to take her on approval? |
37871 | How would it do if I licked the boy? |
37871 | I mean are you afraid of burglars and mice and things like that? |
37871 | I thought you said there was a fine cellar under this house? 37871 Is anything the matter?" |
37871 | Is it possible you''re a ghost? |
37871 | Is mortgage another name for polecat? |
37871 | Is n''t it fortunate,said Jean, who was thumping the mattress vigorously,"that we put the best bed in this room? |
37871 | Is n''t there something I can do for you? |
37871 | Is that-- is that better than a summer one? |
37871 | Is your moth-- Is the lady of the house at home? |
37871 | Is your mother at home? |
37871 | Kind of nice name, is n''t it? |
37871 | Laura,asked Jean,"was Marjory''s handkerchief in her box when you looked in it this morning? |
37871 | Mabel,asked Jean, a little doubtfully,"are you quite sure you''ll be able to turn a deaf ear if Laura should happen to bother you? |
37871 | Might I have a glass of water? |
37871 | Mrs. Cartholomew Brane looks just like an old washtub, she''s so fat-- who''d be respectful to a washtub? 37871 My dear little girl, how_ could_ I forget, when I''ve been saving room for that dinner ever since early last spring? |
37871 | No,assented Marjory,"the most active imagination would refuse to activate--""To_ what_?" |
37871 | Now what in the world did that man want? |
37871 | Oh, will you? |
37871 | P. S. How about your dinner party if we lose the cottage? |
37871 | Peter,she said,"ca n''t we pretend to be sociable for a little while? |
37871 | Shall we ask your Aunty Jane? |
37871 | Sick of your bargain? |
37871 | Six- every- day hens, you mean, do n''t you? |
37871 | So- o? |
37871 | Telegrams go pretty fast, do n''t they? |
37871 | That''s a funny way to empty a basin, is n''t it? |
37871 | Too tired to eat peanuts? |
37871 | Vat kind of schicken you vant? |
37871 | Vell? |
37871 | Was it as bad as-- as all that? |
37871 | Was-- was it the dinner? |
37871 | Well,demanded Marjory,"are n''t we going to have her here to dinner, too, when we have Mr. Black? |
37871 | Well,said she, smiling at the flock of girls,"how about the idea?" |
37871 | Well? |
37871 | Were you looking for something? |
37871 | What are you doing here? |
37871 | What are you going to do for a stove? |
37871 | What can I do for you? 37871 What did_ you_ do, Mabel?" |
37871 | What does it mean in plain English? |
37871 | What does this''P''stand for? |
37871 | What in the world is the matter? 37871 What was his wife like?" |
37871 | What were they? |
37871 | What''s the good? |
37871 | What''s the joke? |
37871 | What''s the matter? |
37871 | What''s the use of being afraid? 37871 What, the candy?" |
37871 | What_ could_ have done it? |
37871 | When,he would ask,"is that dinner party coming off? |
37871 | Where are you putting the weeds? |
37871 | Where does she keep it? |
37871 | Where in the world can we put the things? |
37871 | Who ever heard of getting a crow to help clean house? 37871 Who ever made omelets out of a hen?" |
37871 | Who''d pay the rent? |
37871 | Who''ll you complain to? |
37871 | Whose handkerchief is this? |
37871 | Why could n''t we telegraph? |
37871 | Why do n''t you listen when I ring your bell? 37871 Why, what are you laughing at, Marjory?" |
37871 | Why, where in the world did you get all that? |
37871 | Why,asked Bettie,"what''s the matter? |
37871 | Would n''t it be awful,whispered Mabel,"if it should n''t stick?" |
37871 | Would n''t it be nice,said Bettie, one day in the early spring,"if we four girls could have Dandelion Cottage for our very own?" |
37871 | Would n''t it be splendid if we could have Mr. Black here to dinner next Saturday? |
37871 | Would n''t it be sweet,mimicked Marjory,"if we could have the moon and about twenty stars to play jacks with?" |
37871 | Would you dig the weeds? |
37871 | Would-- would a dollar a week be too much? |
37871 | You did n''t know I could scrub, did you? |
37871 | Your poor foot? |
37871 | And where''s the nice big closet you said opened off the bedroom? |
37871 | Are-- are you coming down with anything?" |
37871 | Black?" |
37871 | But what''s the matter? |
37871 | But where_ is_ his office?" |
37871 | CHAPTER 7 The Girls Disclose a Plan"Did you sleep well, Miss Blossom?" |
37871 | Can I move in tonight? |
37871 | Can you see better?" |
37871 | Could n''t we stop him-- couldn''t we-- couldn''t we pay him something_ not_ to?" |
37871 | Crane?" |
37871 | Did n''t you notice the way he looked around at everything? |
37871 | Do I look pale, or anything-- as if I might be going to die before very long?" |
37871 | Do n''t you suppose that, if we had all the things packed in baskets or bundles, we could get a few of your brothers to help us move out after dark? |
37871 | Do n''t you think a million would last all day?" |
37871 | Do n''t you think it''s a good plan? |
37871 | Do n''t you think we might be allowed to use the cottage if we''d promise to be very careful and not do any damage?" |
37871 | Do n''t you_ see_ you''ve been almost-- yes, quite-- as bad as Laura?" |
37871 | Do you girls sleep here, too?" |
37871 | Do you know of anybody with rooms to rent? |
37871 | Do you s''pose she told her mother about it? |
37871 | Do you s''pose they''re going to insist on doing_ everything_?" |
37871 | Do you suppose the Milligans are going to get us arrested for just two apples-- and-- and a little poetry?" |
37871 | Do you suppose you girls can make those two beds and not get those two lodgers mixed up? |
37871 | Do you think you could sow some grass seed if I have the ground made ready for it?" |
37871 | Do you think you_ look_ like a desirable tenant? |
37871 | Do you think-- do you think you could forgive me?" |
37871 | Does n''t that pane look as if a really- truly housemaid had washed it?" |
37871 | Downing might let us have the cottage_ now_, if we went to him? |
37871 | Downing''s office and tell him all about it? |
37871 | Downing, who did no cooking, to know that paper placed on a cake- baking fire_ always_ flares up in an alarming fashion without doing any real harm? |
37871 | Downing?" |
37871 | Girls, did any of you touch our handkerchiefs?" |
37871 | Girls, what in the world are we to do for sheets? |
37871 | Had n''t I better get him?" |
37871 | Had n''t we better straighten out what we have before we bring anything more?" |
37871 | Have you all lost your tongues? |
37871 | Have you brought the key so soon?" |
37871 | Housecleaning all done?" |
37871 | How does that strike you?" |
37871 | Hum-- the number of this house is what, if you please?" |
37871 | If we catch Mr. Black looking at the ceiling we''ll say:''Oh, Mr. Black, did you notice the flowers on the sideboard?''" |
37871 | Is it really necessary to laugh so much and so often?" |
37871 | Is it really you? |
37871 | Is n''t it the right thing to do?" |
37871 | Is that dinner of mine ready? |
37871 | It said:"Dear Jean: Do n''t you think it''s time for you to look at the kitchen clock?" |
37871 | It seems kind of mean to wake folks up in the middle of the night just to save twenty cents, does n''t it?" |
37871 | It''s exciting, is n''t it, to have something happening in this quiet neighborhood? |
37871 | Just a pair of young geese, were n''t they, Sarah?" |
37871 | May I come in?" |
37871 | Milligan?" |
37871 | Now, Miss Blue Eyes, do I stand a better chance of forgiveness?" |
37871 | Now, how much are you going to charge me for it?" |
37871 | Oh,_ why_ could n''t she have had just one strong, kind son to take care of her?" |
37871 | Oh,_ would_ you mind passing all the wettest things? |
37871 | Shall I have measles, or just plain smallpox?" |
37871 | She wants to pay for a room, she says, and she_ looks_ very polite and pleasant, does n''t she, Bettie?" |
37871 | Want to hear it?" |
37871 | Was he never going home to dinner? |
37871 | Was he_ never_ coming? |
37871 | Was it possible, she wondered, that her beloved Mr. Black could despise Mrs. Crane because she was_ poor_? |
37871 | Was n''t it sweet of her to think of keeping us interested so we should n''t be quite so lonesome?" |
37871 | What are you doing with all the real estate? |
37871 | What are you going to plant in_ your_ bed, Mabel?" |
37871 | What did Grandma Pike say the name was?" |
37871 | What did you say your mother''s first name is?" |
37871 | What do you say, Sarah?" |
37871 | What have_ you_ found, Jean?" |
37871 | What''s it renting for?" |
37871 | What''s the use of getting lovely new friends if you have to go and lose them the very next minute? |
37871 | Who is the head of this-- this ghostly corporation?" |
37871 | Would n''t it be fun to have pumpkins, or squashes, or cucumbers, or melons, or maybe all of them at once, growing on our roof?" |
37871 | Would n''t it be lovely to have nasturtiums running right up the sides of the house?" |
37871 | You never had any children, Sarah?" |
37871 | cried Bettie, in dismay,"why?" |
37871 | she said, slipping an arm about the chief mourner,"do you want the Milligans to hear you? |
37871 | what''s that?" |
37871 | wo n''t it be perfectly lovely?" |
37871 | would n''t it be grand if it should happen to be watermelons?" |
46586 | And what do you think brought_ me_ out here at this critical moment? |
46586 | And who''s''herself?'' |
46586 | And you believed the infamous lie, father? 46586 Are you cryin''for me?" |
46586 | Are you in earnest, Philip? |
46586 | Ben told you this? |
46586 | But ca n''t you say something to encourage me? |
46586 | But not unprepared, hey, Pallas? |
46586 | But what if this were itself a snare? |
46586 | By the way, where''s Mr. Moore? 46586 Ca n''t you go after them, father? |
46586 | Can it be so? |
46586 | Can not you save me, Philip? |
46586 | Could it be? |
46586 | Did he not bring me a letter? 46586 Did you not deliver the letters I sent by you, young man?" |
46586 | Do n''t you love jewelry and such pretty trifles as other girls seek after? |
46586 | Do n''t you see I''m going?--do you want to let me die unsatisfied? |
46586 | Do you see father''s boat coming, anywhere in sight, Ben? 46586 Do you suspec''he''s a kidnapper-- dat ar''vis''ter?" |
46586 | Do you think I could learn to be so very bad, father? 46586 Do you think she is getting to dislike me?" |
46586 | Do you think you can bear the sight? |
46586 | Do, darlin''? 46586 Does any one sleep in the store?" |
46586 | Does you? 46586 Father, will you send me to school?" |
46586 | Have you any thing for me-- any message or letter? |
46586 | Hev you now, masser? 46586 How can you, chile? |
46586 | How share it, Philip? |
46586 | I hab nothin''at all; and ef I had, why should I gib it to you, when you''se makin''us all de trouble you can? |
46586 | I''ve seen that face before,whispered Mr. Raymond;"where was it? |
46586 | Is he about the store this morning; or will I have to go to the mill to see him? |
46586 | Is there no friend of your own sex who would be comfort and company, whom you could invite to stay with you till I come back? 46586 It was; how did you know?" |
46586 | Let me see, can I recall it?--''Oh, as the bee upon the flower, I hang Upon the honey of thy eloquent tongue; Am I not blest? |
46586 | May I pray for you, Ben? |
46586 | Moore? 46586 My father-- have you heard from him since the storm?" |
46586 | Not as well as I have liked some other man, sir? |
46586 | Now, little Alice, supposing I had told_ you_ of such love, and you had professed to answer it, what sacrifices would you have made? 46586 Oh, Mr. Moore, is it possible you think I could care for_ him_?" |
46586 | Oh, father, are you hurt? |
46586 | Oh, my chile, my darlin'', my pickaninny, is dat you, an''no mistake? |
46586 | Shall I not hear from you? |
46586 | That man was my father,interrupted Hernando;"I have heard him tell that story many times; and what became of the Carib?" |
46586 | Then you are coming again? |
46586 | Then you think Miss Alice wants to get rid of me, and you second your darling''s wishes-- eh, Pallas? |
46586 | Trust Ben? 46586 Virginia, is that you? |
46586 | Was her name Virginia? |
46586 | Was it Ben, father? |
46586 | Well, Philip? |
46586 | Well, what of them? 46586 Well, what would you risk for some one you loved-- say, your father?" |
46586 | Wha''fer? |
46586 | Wha''fer? |
46586 | Wha''for? 46586 Wha''for?" |
46586 | What does that childish, ignorant young thing know of love, Philip? 46586 What''s become of him?" |
46586 | What''s that? |
46586 | What''s the matter with the little Wilde- rose? |
46586 | Where is she-- answer me, devil? |
46586 | Where''s Alice? |
46586 | Where''s your daughter? |
46586 | Who has it? |
46586 | Why do n''t he come out then? 46586 Why do you not promise me, and let me die in peace?" |
46586 | Why do you wish to speak ill of those of whom you have no reason to, Ben? 46586 Why not be able to stay''way?" |
46586 | Why should I promise not to harm him? 46586 Why should you feel suspense, Philip? |
46586 | Why, Ben, dat you? |
46586 | Will you stay where you are for the summer, while I go back and attend to my affairs at the West? 46586 Would you be willing I should marry a person like him?" |
46586 | Would you believe that any one had been thinking of my little cub for a wife, and had asked me if he might talk to her about it? |
46586 | Yes it will-- but you, Ben? |
46586 | You are not going away, cousin Philip? |
46586 | You does n''t s''pose I''d bring you any ting to eat or help keep you alive, when you''re tryin''yer bes''to kill my masser''s frien''s, do ye? 46586 You would n''t have had courage to fire, would you? |
46586 | Ai n''t you cold, Miss Alice?" |
46586 | Alice-- where are you? |
46586 | And if I love too wildly-- Who would not love thee like Virginia?''" |
46586 | And it''s de same name-- curus, is n''t it?" |
46586 | And you-- are you uninjured?" |
46586 | And, by the way, I think we ought to get a home of our own as soon as possible, in order to have a shelter to offer my cousin-- don''t you, Alice?" |
46586 | By the way, Phil., did you flirt with her? |
46586 | Come down on a raft?" |
46586 | Come, Alice, say yes, do, now?" |
46586 | Could he look so smiling, so assured, and her Philip be dead? |
46586 | Dear Philip, will you not forgive me? |
46586 | Did n''t he tell you that?" |
46586 | Did you hear that beautiful echo?" |
46586 | Did you mind whar''I put dat pepper, Saturn? |
46586 | Did you think a man was such a fool as to help put the halter round his own neck? |
46586 | Did you think your two dresses a year, your slippers, and straw- hats had eaten up all the money- bags I brought home with me upon my trips? |
46586 | Do n''t you see''twas your own fault?" |
46586 | Do you s''pose I kin keep quiet and see him making a simpleton of the purtiest girl that ever growd? |
46586 | Do you think I ought to make it for her?" |
46586 | Do you think it''s likely it''s anybody as expects to marry Miss Alice?" |
46586 | Do you think that was so very bad, under the circumstances, Aunt Pallas? |
46586 | Do, now, tell me, wo n''t you, auntie?" |
46586 | Dost thou like the picture?'' |
46586 | Ef dat ai n''t little Virginny Moore, growed up, who is it?" |
46586 | Go after a couple of young chaps full- grown and able to take care of themselves? |
46586 | Go on, Virginia, ca n''t you act your part?" |
46586 | Go to the mill and bring round by the river all the skiffs you can muster-- there are two or three, are there not? |
46586 | Has n''t masser swore agin dem city gentleum?" |
46586 | How much can you spend before I get back?" |
46586 | I am to understand that your father then rears his children as slaves to be sold to the highest bidder-- that you hold yourself ready for the market?" |
46586 | I had a sister, a woman when I was a child-- you remember her, do you not? |
46586 | I suppose this ogre of a seminary will shut you up to- night; but where shall I see you to- morrow, and how early? |
46586 | I suppose you would n''t trust me to take you out sailing, to- morrow, would you?" |
46586 | I''m afraid he''d hardly make a woman very happy-- eh, Alice?" |
46586 | Is not that enough?" |
46586 | Is this a time for trifling with me, chief?" |
46586 | It''s rather curious, is n''t it?" |
46586 | Moore?" |
46586 | Mrs. Raymond, will you accept it?" |
46586 | Now will my pale brother suspect me of playing with his feelings? |
46586 | Oh, Ben, this is terrible, is it not?" |
46586 | Oh, Pallas, did n''t he look fearful?" |
46586 | Oh, do bring her, wo n''t you?" |
46586 | Page 105, changed period to question mark after"upon my trips?" |
46586 | Page 96, changed period to question mark in"May I pray for you, Ben?" |
46586 | Philip, are you here? |
46586 | Philip, ca n''t you do something to relieve him?" |
46586 | S''pose I''d stan''by and see my chile toted off into the woods by a madman? |
46586 | Saturn, has you been in dat citron? |
46586 | Say, wo n''t you bring me a piece of bread?" |
46586 | Shall I ever again see a woman such as this-- pure as an infant, loving, devoted, unselfish, and so beautiful?" |
46586 | Shall it be so?" |
46586 | So you think your pickaninny is the best and the prettiest child alive, do you?" |
46586 | Stop now, and hab some, wo n''t yer?" |
46586 | Supposing I_ was_ in danger, little Alice, what would you risk for me?" |
46586 | That miserable, hungry, beseeching look-- how could she refuse it? |
46586 | The cry:"Where is he?" |
46586 | The first question he asked when he clasped his child to his heart, and found_ her_ safe, was of old Pallas:"That trunk in the garret-- was it saved?" |
46586 | Was it because he felt that an enemy was out of the way? |
46586 | Wha''s that pickaninny but a chile yet, I''se like to know? |
46586 | Whar''s dat citron now? |
46586 | What Carib ever betrayed his own blood?" |
46586 | What bisness is it of yours to be askin''?" |
46586 | What could be the purpose of a person thus hovering about in concealment? |
46586 | What der s''pose folks''ll tink your missus and masser is, ef you do n''t act like a fust- family nigger? |
46586 | What do you suppose she thinks of such a worthless kind of a person as myself? |
46586 | What for you be so bad, so wicked for, Ben? |
46586 | What shall I bring you when I come again, Alice? |
46586 | What was Ben Perkins doing in such a place as this? |
46586 | What was the object? |
46586 | What would you gain by it? |
46586 | What''s a mile or two, swimmin''down stream?" |
46586 | What''s forty trunks to yer own precious life, chile? |
46586 | What''s that song I used to like to hear you sing so well, Alice? |
46586 | Where were his friends? |
46586 | Who be dat comin''up de walk wid masser and de comp''ny? |
46586 | Who''s with him, Pallas?" |
46586 | Why don''you fly round and grin''more coffee? |
46586 | Why will you throw yourself away upon a rude and uncultivated community? |
46586 | Wilde?" |
46586 | Will it not be best for you to break up, dismiss the expensive array of servants, rent your house, and board in some agreeable family?" |
46586 | Wo n''t it be charming?" |
46586 | Wo n''t ye give me suthin''to eat, for the sake of old times, Pallas?" |
46586 | Wo n''t yer take yer flute out of yer pocket and give her a tune, before she sees us? |
46586 | Wo n''t you set down''side of me on this log?" |
46586 | Would you have given me that little gold heart you wear about your neck-- your only bit of ornamentation?" |
46586 | You are an enemy to our people, but now and straightforward what other assailant need I fear?" |
46586 | You do remember old Pallas, do n''t you now, honey? |
46586 | You ridiculed my nightmare, father, do n''t you recollect?" |
46586 | You wo n''t be afraid, will you?" |
46586 | You''re married, ai n''t you?" |
46586 | _ Who_ could have done that murderous deed? |
46586 | _ You_ need n''t color up, little girl,--I was only thinking of Virginia''s future spouse-- eh, Virginia,--what''s Mr. Irving blushing for?" |
46586 | call dat love? |
46586 | can you refuse-- can you desert me, too? |
46586 | did he get home safe, after his spell of sickness, at our house last fall?" |
46586 | don''stan''dar''starin''; do n''t yer see masser''s gone? |
46586 | exclaimed Hernando, recoiling;"what you say can not be true-- who could make that spot my grave? |
46586 | exclaimed the old man with some of that stern command in his voice which had become a part of him;"do you not love my child?" |
46586 | had n''t I_ ought_ to kill him if I can? |
46586 | has n''t he done all he could to injure me? |
46586 | how can he help it?" |
46586 | how could you trust him with Philip?" |
46586 | how do you do? |
46586 | how do you like your work?" |
46586 | is eatin''wicked, Pallas?" |
46586 | is it possible my Alice is to find in you--""An aunt? |
46586 | no,--ain''t he here? |
46586 | oh, come back, dear chile, wo n''t yer? |
46586 | or was it intended to help her into a bond with his murderer? |
46586 | she murmured, throwing herself upon her knees,"must I bear this suspense all this endless winter?" |
46586 | was it indeed a betrothal ring, sent to her by her lover, which she should wear to kiss and pray over? |
46586 | was it kind of her to fly away by herself on this last afternoon of my stay?" |
46586 | was there no letter for you, father?" |
46586 | what have you done with my wife?" |
46586 | what is the news? |
46586 | what shall I do?" |
46586 | what''s this?" |
46586 | where is my father?" |
46586 | where that gay party he had invited from their distant homes to meet this fate? |
46586 | where was Alice, his wife of an hour? |
46586 | where was the bride? |
46586 | who''d a thought our family wud ever come to sech an end? |
46586 | why do n''t you come? |
46586 | will you be all these to Virginia? |
46586 | you''re a cute''un, ai n''t you now? |
6436 | ''A man who flies in the wilderness to escape--''''Spirit, are you acquainted with a Biblical personage named David?'' |
6436 | ''Aboard? |
6436 | ''Ah, yes,--Jacob had a ladder, I remember; he comes up this way, I suppose?'' |
6436 | ''Ah,''said Waring, pausing,''one of the family?'' |
6436 | ''Alongshore?'' |
6436 | ''Am I a child?'' |
6436 | ''Am I not queen of this castle? |
6436 | ''Am I not stronger than you, and the master, if I so choose, of your castle of logs?'' |
6436 | ''Am I, too, a wrecker?'' |
6436 | ''An ignorant half- breed?'' |
6436 | ''And all this time, when you were letting me down-- By the way, how did you do it?'' |
6436 | ''And how does he get on with the Mormons?'' |
6436 | ''And if I die what are you?'' |
6436 | ''And that aunt,--that Jacob?'' |
6436 | ''And the Titian picture?'' |
6436 | ''And those wrecks,''said Waring;''how do you make them balance with your scheme of expiation?'' |
6436 | ''And where are you going?'' |
6436 | ''And who is to do it?'' |
6436 | ''And yet you have taught her to read?'' |
6436 | ''Another member of the family,--Aunt Shadow?'' |
6436 | ''Anything come ashore?'' |
6436 | ''Anything in the way of mermaidens?'' |
6436 | ''Are they happy?'' |
6436 | ''Are they not beautiful?'' |
6436 | ''Are you a clergyman?'' |
6436 | ''Are you going to keep the girl shut up here forever?'' |
6436 | ''Are you not a little sentimental over that ignorant, half- wild creature, Aunt Sarah?'' |
6436 | ''Are you there, darling, safe and well?'' |
6436 | ''Ark,''said Silver;''what is that?'' |
6436 | ''At last?'' |
6436 | ''At least you placed all my property in the dug- out before you set me adrift,''he said;''may I ask your motive?'' |
6436 | ''Back,--back where?'' |
6436 | ''Baptiste not love me? |
6436 | ''Baptiste?'' |
6436 | ''Believer?'' |
6436 | ''Braid hair?'' |
6436 | ''But I might have found my way back to your castle?'' |
6436 | ''But no one really knows?'' |
6436 | ''But supposing he wo n''t, do n''t stifle yourself,''continued Waring; then aloud,''Well, old gentleman, where do you come from?'' |
6436 | ''But what if I will not go back, what if I will not accept your trust? |
6436 | ''But you did not find all these blossoms on the shores about here, did you?'' |
6436 | ''But you omitted the last verse, mademoiselle; may I ask why?'' |
6436 | ''But you were expecting a Jacob?'' |
6436 | ''But, mademoiselle, your Bible--''''What is Bible?'' |
6436 | ''Cafe?'' |
6436 | ''Can anything be done for the men on board? |
6436 | ''Could n''t you take me with you? |
6436 | ''Did he or did he not have anything to say about flying to wildernesses and mountain- tops? |
6436 | ''Did he say he did not love me? |
6436 | ''Did he say he did not love me?'' |
6436 | ''Did n''t you guess it? |
6436 | ''Did you buy that sugar at the Sault?'' |
6436 | ''Did you enjoy the picnic, Miss Augusta?'' |
6436 | ''Did you foresee this end?'' |
6436 | ''Do n''t you believe it?--Speak up, Preacher; are you being carried off?'' |
6436 | ''Do n''t you?'' |
6436 | ''Do you hesitate?'' |
6436 | ''Do you like it, your new one?'' |
6436 | ''Do you mean that you have come across from Lake Superior on foot?'' |
6436 | ''Do you not see the ladder?'' |
6436 | ''Do you see things coming ashore?'' |
6436 | ''Do you start on to- morrow?'' |
6436 | ''Do you take her part, Aunt Sarah?'' |
6436 | ''Do you want the plain truth, old man? |
6436 | ''Does it need the asking?'' |
6436 | ''Father, father,''she sobbed,''must I leave you? |
6436 | ''Fish, of course, and some common supplies I can understand,''said the visitor;''but how do you obtain flour like this, or sugar?'' |
6436 | ''For all day?'' |
6436 | ''For what?'' |
6436 | ''Grieve you? |
6436 | ''Happy?'' |
6436 | ''Have a pipe?'' |
6436 | ''Have they a right side?'' |
6436 | ''Have we so far to go, then? |
6436 | ''Have you any objection to using the Episcopal service?'' |
6436 | ''Her?'' |
6436 | ''How can you find her?'' |
6436 | ''How long has she been away?'' |
6436 | ''How?'' |
6436 | ''I am sorry you go so soon; could n''t you stay a few days?'' |
6436 | ''I do n''t know much about dreams,''replied old Fog, scanning the small picture with curious eyes''but is n''t she a trifle heavy in build? |
6436 | ''I do not understand it all; perhaps you can explain to me?'' |
6436 | ''I know you love her,''said the old man,''but how much?'' |
6436 | ''I say, though, when are you going to bring him back, Believer?'' |
6436 | ''In a month you can sail safely, and I suppose you will go for good this time?'' |
6436 | ''Is he?'' |
6436 | ''Is it expiated, O God? |
6436 | ''Is it hard?'' |
6436 | ''Is it new?'' |
6436 | ''Is it?'' |
6436 | ''Is n''t it comfortable now?'' |
6436 | ''Is n''t she beautiful?'' |
6436 | ''Is she not lovely and good?'' |
6436 | ''Is she not pure and good? |
6436 | ''Is there no one to help me?'' |
6436 | ''Is there no way for her to cross, to the islands or mainland?'' |
6436 | ''Jacob,''she cried gladly,''is that you at last?'' |
6436 | ''Jarvis, Jarvis, what is this?'' |
6436 | ''Jeannette? |
6436 | ''Kidnap him?'' |
6436 | ''Live? |
6436 | ''Mermaidens dwell in the water, they can not live in houses as we can; did you not know that? |
6436 | ''Miserable creature, this is not the first time, then?'' |
6436 | ''Moi? |
6436 | ''More to you?'' |
6436 | ''Never mind where; will you come?'' |
6436 | ''O come, what do you know about bears?'' |
6436 | ''O double it, double it, ca n''t you?'' |
6436 | ''O, does she?'' |
6436 | ''Of course I do not; why do you ask?'' |
6436 | ''Of course; where else should I reside? |
6436 | ''Old man, why are you not afraid of me?'' |
6436 | ''Our ark has kept us cosily through bitter weather, has it not, little one?'' |
6436 | ''Over? |
6436 | ''Papa,''she whispered,''where is he, where is he?'' |
6436 | ''Prescott? |
6436 | ''Purposely?'' |
6436 | ''Qu''est- ce- que- c''est?'' |
6436 | ''Rodney, what is it?'' |
6436 | ''Shall I excuse the deed to you, boy? |
6436 | ''Shall we see the castle soon?'' |
6436 | ''Silver,''he said to her, seriously enough,''do you know how much I love you? |
6436 | ''Silver,''he said, bending over her tenderly,''do I not love you? |
6436 | ''Silver,''he said, taking her into his arms,''are you sure that you can love me as I crave?'' |
6436 | ''Silver,''he whispered, bending over her,''do you love me?'' |
6436 | ''So you can sew?'' |
6436 | ''Something you wish to have done after death?'' |
6436 | ''Sure of the negro blood?'' |
6436 | ''Tell me the truth,''he said,''has the girl no boat?'' |
6436 | ''The Aunt Shadow who has gone away?'' |
6436 | ''Then they do n''t dress like that nowadays?'' |
6436 | ''Then why have you not told her yourself?'' |
6436 | ''There is no need to do it, for I have so many dresses; but I like to sew, do n''t you?'' |
6436 | ''Was it now? |
6436 | ''Was there any real danger?'' |
6436 | ''We have a visitor, father dear; are you not glad, so glad to see him?'' |
6436 | ''Well,''said Waring, still pursuing down the gradual slope of the beach,''will a phantom bark come at my call, I wonder? |
6436 | ''What are one or two miserable crews to the delicate life of my beautiful child? |
6436 | ''What are you doing here?'' |
6436 | ''What are your plans?'' |
6436 | ''What can we do, dear?'' |
6436 | ''What do you think?'' |
6436 | ''What does it all mean anyway? |
6436 | ''What has become of Jeannette Leblanc?'' |
6436 | ''What have you brought for me to- night, father dear?'' |
6436 | ''What is his name?'' |
6436 | ''What is it you are saying, Jacques''? |
6436 | ''What is it?'' |
6436 | ''What is it?'' |
6436 | ''What is that to me?'' |
6436 | ''What is the verse, any way?'' |
6436 | ''What is this?'' |
6436 | ''What new thing is this?'' |
6436 | ''What then?'' |
6436 | ''What, this clumsy imitation of a second- class Western steamer? |
6436 | ''What?'' |
6436 | ''When will she return?'' |
6436 | ''When you were letting me down, and towing me out, and calculating chances, what was I, may I ask?'' |
6436 | ''Where did you get them?'' |
6436 | ''Where did you learn that, child?'' |
6436 | ''Where is Jarvis?'' |
6436 | ''Where is he? |
6436 | ''Where is he?'' |
6436 | ''Who am I that I should torture her? |
6436 | ''Who was he?'' |
6436 | ''Whom do you suppose we have here?'' |
6436 | ''Why did n''t you say so before?'' |
6436 | ''Why do you always judge the child so harshly, Doctor?'' |
6436 | ''Why do you go?'' |
6436 | ''Why not bring her into the church? |
6436 | ''Why not have her up for one of our sociables?'' |
6436 | ''Why not teach her to sew?'' |
6436 | ''Why think of it, then, since I am here?'' |
6436 | ''Why, what more can you require, Doctor? |
6436 | ''Will any one go to rescue her; does any one know of the castle?'' |
6436 | ''Will he? |
6436 | ''Will the fog come up now?'' |
6436 | ''Will you came back too, Jeannette?'' |
6436 | ''Will you go, then,''it said,''and leave the child?'' |
6436 | ''Will you have the whole story?'' |
6436 | ''Would it not be a better plan to bring a clergyman here, and then you two could sail without me? |
6436 | ''Wreckers, perhaps?'' |
6436 | ''Yes; would you like to see them? |
6436 | ''Yes? |
6436 | ''You are not going,''he cried in a shrill voice,''--you are not going? |
6436 | ''You have been here all that time, then?'' |
6436 | ''You have never read the Bible?'' |
6436 | ''You have no boat?'' |
6436 | ''You reside here?'' |
6436 | ''You think I marry you? |
6436 | ''You wish her to die?'' |
6436 | ''You wo n''t tell her? |
6436 | ''You would not ask him to stay, if he wished to go?'' |
6436 | ''Young man,''it said,''how came you here? |
6436 | Ah, mon Baptiste, ou es- tu? |
6436 | Am I anybody? |
6436 | Am I not enough for you? |
6436 | And Silver? |
6436 | And did Waring ever stop to think? |
6436 | And did he pray to Napoleon, you ask? |
6436 | And what possessed Waring, do you ask? |
6436 | And why? |
6436 | And you are that,--aren''t you?'' |
6436 | Back to Silver, of course; have you lost your mind?'' |
6436 | But Silver? |
6436 | But at this stage the shape waved its oar impatiently and demanded,''Who are you?'' |
6436 | But say, do you see things coming ashore?'' |
6436 | But say, has anything come ashore? |
6436 | But shall I tell you the whole? |
6436 | But supposing it had not been all, what then? |
6436 | But what could he do? |
6436 | But when the demand came,''Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?'' |
6436 | But you are not Leah all this time?'' |
6436 | By water?'' |
6436 | Can I help you?'' |
6436 | Can we? |
6436 | Come, my friend, why should you keep it from me?'' |
6436 | Could I not train this forest flower so that it could take its place in the garden? |
6436 | Could she be a companion for your sisters? |
6436 | Could you present this girl to your mother? |
6436 | Did I love this girl who stooped to gather a few shillings from under my feet? |
6436 | Did Jarvis say that?'' |
6436 | Did he or did he not express wishes to sail thither in person?'' |
6436 | Did that tender pity, that ringing inspiration come from a dull mind and shallow heart? |
6436 | Did you whistle for it that night?'' |
6436 | Do n''t you?'' |
6436 | Do they meet out there the counter floes from the Canada side, and then do they all join hands and sink at a given signal to the bottom? |
6436 | Do you hear that, Jarvis Waring? |
6436 | Do you know that to- morrow will be Christmas?'' |
6436 | Do you not see that the whole was a self- immolation, the greatest, the most complete I could make? |
6436 | Do you remember how she looked when she repeated''Ivry''? |
6436 | Do you remember the pathos with which she chanted File, file, pauvre Marie; File, file, pour le prisonnier? |
6436 | Do you suppose I did not know the greatness of the crime? |
6436 | Do you suppose I wished to drown the men? |
6436 | Do you understand what I am saying, Jeannette? |
6436 | Does not every storm threaten them with deathly force? |
6436 | Fish? |
6436 | Friends of yours?'' |
6436 | Had he not just conferred an enormous favor, an alliance which might be called the gift of a prince, on this dull old backwoodsman? |
6436 | Had they not all prophesied a failure? |
6436 | Had they not slowly murdered his Emperor on their barren rock in the sea? |
6436 | Has Jarvis gone?'' |
6436 | Has he gone, then? |
6436 | Have I not explained that I was desperate?'' |
6436 | Have I stopped for anguish? |
6436 | Have I stopped for snow and ice? |
6436 | Have you not heard of Baptiste? |
6436 | Have you noticed a carved door in the back part of the main building? |
6436 | Have you so many dresses then?'' |
6436 | He does not believe me? |
6436 | He had mixed up his Emperor with the stories of the Saints; why should not Napoleon do what they had done? |
6436 | He knew nothing of the shore, and yet there must be a harbor somewhere, for was there not the light? |
6436 | He was; had anything been sent to him from the East,--any clothes, now, for the Indians? |
6436 | How soon did you say we could go?'' |
6436 | I am your husband now, Silver, and you must come with me; do you not wish to come with me, darling?'' |
6436 | I do not deny that I have fought against it, but-- but why should I conceal? |
6436 | I must really send you up some new clothes.--Silver, how have you been able to endure such shabby rags so long?'' |
6436 | I suppose you know what day it is?'' |
6436 | Is it expiated?'' |
6436 | Is it not a beautiful place?'' |
6436 | Is she any the worse for its want? |
6436 | Is she not beautiful as a dream?'' |
6436 | Is there a story about it?'' |
6436 | It all seemed strangely familiar; of what did it remind him? |
6436 | Listen; do you believe in your Christ, the dear Christ? |
6436 | Must she suffer and linger and die? |
6436 | No? |
6436 | Now what had fate next in store? |
6436 | Now, I am brought face to face with reality; I must go; can I leave her behind? |
6436 | O, she married that Baptiste, a lazy, good- for- nothing fellow? |
6436 | Or has the body gone and left me only as an any?'' |
6436 | Over where? |
6436 | Perhaps he and Aunt Shadow will come together,--do you think they will?'' |
6436 | Prescott was there, as usual, I suppose?'' |
6436 | She is lovelier, is n''t she?'' |
6436 | She learned readily; but as there was no foundation, I was obliged to commence with A, B, C.''Why not teach her to cook?'' |
6436 | Talk of tortures; which of them have I not felt, with the pains and faintness of exposure and hunger racking me from head to foot? |
6436 | The child loves pretty things; what could a poor man do? |
6436 | The education you began, could I not finish? |
6436 | The provisions would not last more than a week; and though he might catch fish, how could he cook them? |
6436 | The wind will go down soon, and by daylight the things will be coming ashore; you''ll see to them, wo n''t you?'' |
6436 | Then aloud,''Has he any men with him?'' |
6436 | Then, for that crime, shall a soul suffer forever,--not a thousand years, a thousand ages if you like, but forever? |
6436 | Then, waiving further discussion,--''And where shall we find a clergyman?'' |
6436 | They dress like that nowadays, I suppose,--flowered gowns and gold chains around the waist?'' |
6436 | They had business, he said, with the Preacher; was he at home? |
6436 | To others I say,"What would you? |
6436 | Upon this what do you suppose Waring did? |
6436 | Was it, then, impossible for me to conquer this ignoble passion? |
6436 | Were they, then, so soon dead? |
6436 | What do you know, if you do n''t know the Beavers?'' |
6436 | What does it mean? |
6436 | What is his history?'' |
6436 | What is that white shining toy on the top? |
6436 | What need to picture the love- scene that followed? |
6436 | What then?''. |
6436 | What was I to her? |
6436 | Whence and when came he? |
6436 | Where am I? |
6436 | Where is Jarvis? |
6436 | Where?'' |
6436 | Whither? |
6436 | Who am I? |
6436 | Who are you, then?'' |
6436 | Who knows but that I may be drowned on my way back to the Chenaux?'' |
6436 | Who was he? |
6436 | Whom have I in all the world to tell me, save you?'' |
6436 | Why do I not fish for them? |
6436 | Will it be so with you, Jarvis?'' |
6436 | Without a cry? |
6436 | Women do n''t alter much, do they?'' |
6436 | Would it harm her to know of the Bible?'' |
6436 | Would nothing else content him? |
6436 | Would you?'' |
6436 | Wounded? |
6436 | You can have no intention of making Silver your wife?'' |
6436 | You can see the great white floes drift away into the horizon, and the question comes, Where do they go? |
6436 | You do not like the idea? |
6436 | You fell off that ledge, did n''t you? |
6436 | You look at me with scorn? |
6436 | a child engagement? |
6436 | answered Waring with a short laugh;''am I not giving up my name, my life, into her hands?'' |
6436 | said Silver, thoughtfully;''what do you think, papa?'' |
6436 | thought Waring, with a smile of covert amusement,''he is in a hurry to secure the prize, is he? |
61523 | A book? |
61523 | A good deal like the Santa Cruz, is n''t it? |
61523 | A medal for swimming, Aunt Marjie? |
61523 | Alf, I wonder if I can be getting old...? |
61523 | Alfred, how did you ever happen to come so far? |
61523 | Alone? |
61523 | And did you pilot my elder niece over to Beulah before we sleepyheads here at home were even stirring? |
61523 | And if he does n''t want to go to Tahulamaji? |
61523 | And she''d forgotten...."What? |
61523 | And you, Miss Whitcom? |
61523 | Anna,he asked softly,"do you suppose your sister''s awake yet?" |
61523 | Anna,said he,"how do_ I_ know? |
61523 | Anna,she asked slowly,"do you remember Barrett O''Donnell?" |
61523 | Anna,_ where''s your sister_? |
61523 | Anna-- you mean here? |
61523 | Anniversary? |
61523 | Another, Marjory? |
61523 | Are they here? |
61523 | Are you girls putting on low neck? |
61523 | Are you starting home now, papa? |
61523 | Are you two going for a hike, or something? |
61523 | As far as Beulah? |
61523 | Beg pardon, Marjory? |
61523 | Birds? 61523 Birds?" |
61523 | But I''ve heard papa say that women ought to be treated...."That men ought to go lazy at the finish and let you pull in ahead? |
61523 | But are n''t you sure? |
61523 | But did n''t the Blakes begin coming because the Goodmans did, Alf? |
61523 | But why should you ever think such a thing? |
61523 | But why, dear? |
61523 | But you,he asked, half jestingly and half in faint earnest,"--you were n''t afraid?" |
61523 | Can you imagine? |
61523 | Can you see any powder on my face? |
61523 | Come? 61523 Could n''t we take a little walk on the beach later, if your head is better? |
61523 | Could you make it work with oil? |
61523 | Did n''t you tell Hilda you''d be back in time for the match? |
61523 | Did you ever hear of anybody swimming as far as that? |
61523 | Did you have a pleasant trip across? |
61523 | Did you ring, ma''am? |
61523 | Did you sleep well, Alf? |
61523 | Do I look all right, Lou? |
61523 | Do n''t you see? 61523 Do n''t you think that would be a good idea?" |
61523 | Do there happen to be any convenient islands one could swim out to? |
61523 | Do you like them scrambled? |
61523 | Do you mean to tell me it''s been as long as that since I''ve seen you? |
61523 | Do you think we can make it? |
61523 | Do you_ have_ to go so soon? |
61523 | Does n''t he seem the same? |
61523 | Dreadful? 61523 Er-- Alfred never was much of what you''d call the''following''kind, was he Anna?" |
61523 | For goodness sake,_ what_ man, Anna? |
61523 | For goodness''sake,she whispered,"what makes you look at me that way?" |
61523 | Forgotten what? |
61523 | Had he taken the whole section? |
61523 | He said he''d have to get back? |
61523 | Here? |
61523 | Hilda,said Aunt Marjie, still chuckling over the whole affair,"did you tell me Louise had a young man in the kitchen with her?" |
61523 | Hilda,she said with great solemnity,"are you quite_ sure_ Leslie is n''t the one?" |
61523 | Hm? |
61523 | Hm? |
61523 | Honey, there is n''t any water in my pitcher-- would you mind...? |
61523 | How could things have gone so far without your realizing? |
61523 | How do you mean it was n''t fair, Aunt Marjie? |
61523 | How, Les? |
61523 | I believe-- wasn''t it piloting tourists through Europe? |
61523 | I promised? |
61523 | I suppose, after all, things are n''t so different there-- conditions, should I say? |
61523 | I think I saw her with the lad-- is it Leslie? |
61523 | I wonder...."What, Alf? |
61523 | I-- I....Oh, what was the use of asking her to be reasonable? |
61523 | I? 61523 If he does n''t? |
61523 | Is he going with you? |
61523 | Is it sand all over? |
61523 | Is it? |
61523 | Is n''t it natural I should want to be alone when I meet Lynndal? |
61523 | Is n''t what natural, Lou? |
61523 | Is that Miss Whitcom? |
61523 | Is there to be a roast? |
61523 | Is what? |
61523 | It does sound rather dreadful, now does n''t it? 61523 It is lovely, is n''t it?" |
61523 | It is n''t late, is it? |
61523 | It is n''t very long, is it Les? 61523 It''s a long time, is n''t it, since we stopped telling secrets?" |
61523 | It''s queer, is n''t it,remarked Barry, with almost a flash of imagination,"we should have happened to come up on the same steamer?" |
61523 | Les,she demanded, wholly consumed now with the apprehension lest she miss her train,"is your watch with mine?" |
61523 | Les,she said finally,"why do you talk about going back to the city?" |
61523 | Les? |
61523 | Les? |
61523 | Leslie? 61523 Let''s see,"he continued,"do I own anything just there, in the San Pedro valley?" |
61523 | Let''s see-- how many is it this year? |
61523 | Long ago? |
61523 | Louise, dear-- what is it? |
61523 | Louise, what''s the matter? |
61523 | Marjory, you do n''t mean Babbit& Babbit? |
61523 | Marjory? |
61523 | Methodist, Marjory? |
61523 | More intimate, and not...."Well, Anna? |
61523 | Most of them do that anyway, do n''t they? |
61523 | Mr. Barry, how many varieties did you say are now possible? |
61523 | My denomination? |
61523 | Never? |
61523 | No churches, Marjory? |
61523 | Not any at all? |
61523 | Now? |
61523 | Of_ cheating_, Aunt Marjie? |
61523 | Oh, Alf, do you think the Goodmans have been married that long? |
61523 | Oh, Alf-- do you mean-- is it as though she''d gone into some other church? |
61523 | Oh, Les, why do n''t you light it? |
61523 | Oh, are you going? |
61523 | Oh, do you think so, Lou? |
61523 | Oh, he did? |
61523 | Oh, no, only planning with Eliza, and--"You find Eliza a treasure, do n''t you? |
61523 | Oh, what shall I do? |
61523 | Oh, you mean the tournament? |
61523 | Oh, you_ know_? |
61523 | Old, Anna? |
61523 | One of the men? |
61523 | Politics? |
61523 | Pretty soon we''ll he getting another man in Congress...."Barry, do you suppose later on you''ll be getting into politics? |
61523 | Really? |
61523 | Really? |
61523 | Right after breakfast? |
61523 | Right after dinner? |
61523 | Same firm? |
61523 | Same firm? |
61523 | See you again tonight? |
61523 | Shall I? |
61523 | Shall we go this way? |
61523 | Shall we have papa carry them down to the fire? |
61523 | Shall we take a lunch so we wo n''t have to hurry? |
61523 | She is? |
61523 | She was? |
61523 | So far? |
61523 | So the Queen is dead? |
61523 | So you wo n''t take_ all_ the blame? |
61523 | Some friend, Marjory? |
61523 | Something new? |
61523 | Something to open up a whole new area? |
61523 | Speaking of pure romance? |
61523 | Sticks, you mean, for marshmallows? |
61523 | Tessie? |
61523 | That Louise,he began a little impatiently,"--that Louise....""Why, where_ is_ she?" |
61523 | The church, Barry? |
61523 | The church? |
61523 | Then he said-- say, look here, Hilda, what_ is_ your capacity for asking questions? |
61523 | Then how can I know what I''ve forgotten, if you do n''t remind me? |
61523 | Then why_ not_ pilot? |
61523 | They have? 61523 To the last?" |
61523 | Twenty_ after_ eleven? 61523 Well, Alf?" |
61523 | Well, but do you mean we''ve nothing left to quarrel about? 61523 Well, have you been charging up hillsides, or racing Alfred on the beach?" |
61523 | Well, is n''t it natural? |
61523 | Well? |
61523 | Well? |
61523 | Were you going back to the cottage? |
61523 | What did Miss Whitcom mean,asked Barry after a short pause,"when she spoke the way she did about the church?" |
61523 | What did you do when you found out about it, Aunt Marjie? |
61523 | What difference does it make? |
61523 | What do you mean-- when I''d convinced myself he had n''t played fair? |
61523 | What do you mean? |
61523 | What do you think I found in Frankfort this morning? |
61523 | What do you think of him, Anna? |
61523 | What is it, Anna? |
61523 | What is n''t true? |
61523 | What is the matter with the stove, Eliza? |
61523 | What is the name? |
61523 | What is the_ matter_, Eliza? |
61523 | What makes you think there''s anything the matter? |
61523 | What say, Alf? |
61523 | What shall we do about the sticks? |
61523 | What shall we do with the sticks? 61523 What time do you have breakfast?" |
61523 | What time do you want me? |
61523 | What time will you come, Les? |
61523 | What time? |
61523 | What was I doing last? |
61523 | What''s that? |
61523 | What? |
61523 | What? |
61523 | What? |
61523 | Where are the girls? |
61523 | Where are you going? |
61523 | Where is he? |
61523 | Where shall we keep them until it''s time? |
61523 | Where? |
61523 | Where? |
61523 | Which way? |
61523 | Who is? |
61523 | Who won? |
61523 | Who''s out there? |
61523 | Who? |
61523 | Who? |
61523 | Who? |
61523 | Whole populace turned out, of course? |
61523 | Why does n''t he go all the way? |
61523 | Why? |
61523 | Why_ Les_, what''s the_ matter_? |
61523 | Will you come out again later? |
61523 | Will your father be mad? |
61523 | Wo n''t you kiss me? |
61523 | Yes, Anna? |
61523 | Yes, Aunt Marjie? |
61523 | Yes, Aunt Marjie? |
61523 | Yes, but it seems kind of dreadful to put it that way, do n''t it? |
61523 | Yes, but my goodness, Les, must a girl entirely_ shun_ a man to prevent his falling-- I mean, to keep him from caring too much? |
61523 | Yes, did n''t I? |
61523 | Yes; are n''t there any resorts in Ohio? |
61523 | You call_ me_ advanced? 61523 You did n''t notice which way they went?" |
61523 | You do n''t mind eating in the kitchen? |
61523 | You do think we cut enough, do n''t you? |
61523 | You do? 61523 You have n''t written at all, then?" |
61523 | You have? |
61523 | You mean he let you win? |
61523 | You mean like what she said at dinner about the natives of Tahulamaji? |
61523 | You mean the Assembly notices? |
61523 | You mean there are n''t any sights to show? |
61523 | You mean when you go to light him? |
61523 | You mean-- about religion, Alf? |
61523 | You mean...? |
61523 | You never have? |
61523 | You really want me to? |
61523 | You remember how even we were-- how we outdistanced all the others? |
61523 | You said you had a good trip across, did n''t you? |
61523 | You say he''s here? |
61523 | You say you have n''t seen each other for years? |
61523 | You think he''d come, do n''t you Marjie? |
61523 | You think so, Alf? 61523 You think so?" |
61523 | You think so? |
61523 | You think so? |
61523 | You were n''t acquainted before you met on the boat? |
61523 | You wish I had n''t had anything to do with you? |
61523 | You''re going to light O''Donnell through to the Point? |
61523 | You''re sure the boat''s in good condition for the run? |
61523 | You''re sure? 61523 You?" |
61523 | _ Do_ you know where she is? |
61523 | _ Please_ come along-- won''t you? |
61523 | _ Then_ what did he say, Aunt Marjie? |
61523 | A horrid little fear clutched at her heart: What if he should not come? |
61523 | After all these years, ca n''t we? |
61523 | Ah, how indeed? |
61523 | Ah, where indeed? |
61523 | Alf, were the Goodmans the first to begin coming up?" |
61523 | Alfred-- you do n''t think I could find my way through tonight...?" |
61523 | All those letters.... At length he was here... had come so far... and what had she done? |
61523 | Am I all wrong? |
61523 | And aloud:"Just a few more, Barry?" |
61523 | And as for having the water hot, well, what are kettles for? |
61523 | And buy an upper for his golf sticks? |
61523 | And by the time the poor man got to those inhumanly personal stanzas:"Who was her father? |
61523 | And could her father? |
61523 | And if he did? |
61523 | And if not, how else was her manner to be played up to? |
61523 | And she blushed at the thought of having dared to speak to him...."Do you know where Hilda is?" |
61523 | And she went on:"As a matter of fact, and just amongst ourselves, why should n''t women smoke if they want to? |
61523 | And so how could I help pulling in ahead in spite of myself?" |
61523 | And then Hilda asked, giving voice to a sudden bold dart of intuitive understanding:"You mean men, Aunt Marjie?" |
61523 | And then I thought about''the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head''--wasn''t it curious? |
61523 | And then she asked, in her almost breathless manner:"Are there any birds in Arizona?" |
61523 | And what might be going on inside her wayward little head, who could guess? |
61523 | And what was this that seemed for so long, in a fine and utter silence, to have been building? |
61523 | And why should n''t they_ want_ to? |
61523 | And yet, how could it be otherwise? |
61523 | Anything else? |
61523 | Are your agents everywhere? |
61523 | At length he asked:"Shall we go out after raspberries tomorrow? |
61523 | At length she asked:"Do you remember the time we swam for the Allenhurst medal?" |
61523 | At one stage he even jumped up and turned a cartwheel, and one of the girls in the crowd exclaimed:"Ca n''t you just see it?" |
61523 | Barry( he rambled wildly in his mind) for mercy''s sake more carrots? |
61523 | Barry, another slice? |
61523 | Barry, what kind of trees are they? |
61523 | Barry?" |
61523 | Barry?" |
61523 | But after tonight-- then what? |
61523 | But exclamations in the true sense? |
61523 | But he felt her gazing at him in that shrewd way of hers which seemed saying:"Alfred, have you really got truth in your heart?" |
61523 | But how is one to know? |
61523 | But just how, by the way, did he look then? |
61523 | But she was right up again with an earnest question:"Where''s he now?" |
61523 | But what do you think? |
61523 | But where_ was_ Louise? |
61523 | But why had she had a past? |
61523 | But why should_ she_ waken out of deep slumber unsummoned? |
61523 | But why_ was_ this? |
61523 | But_ was_ it final? |
61523 | Can I be his for ever and ever? |
61523 | Can I be his, all his? |
61523 | Can I belong henceforth to him and no one else?" |
61523 | Could any one reasonably expect the relations all around to remain_ quite_ what they had been? |
61523 | Could he bow again? |
61523 | Could he forgive her? |
61523 | Could it actually be brought against this minister that he was, in a sense, theatrical? |
61523 | Could it be otherwise than hard for him? |
61523 | Could it be otherwise than tragic? |
61523 | Could she give herself to him entirely? |
61523 | Could she give herself to_ anyone_ entirely? |
61523 | Dare you? |
61523 | Did Louise go away somewhere early?" |
61523 | Did Marjory think_ he_ would sleep on two mattresses, like the Bishop? |
61523 | Did he suspect a little the turmoil within her? |
61523 | Did not her being here on the wharf to meet him make her appear too eager? |
61523 | Did we call it Nietzschean? |
61523 | Did you ever feel like that, Hilda?" |
61523 | Did you ever hear of a travelling man turning down a chance at home cooking?" |
61523 | Distinctly_ seen_ it? |
61523 | Do n''t you see I am? |
61523 | Do n''t you sometimes fancy you see a faint halo over Eliza''s head? |
61523 | Do n''t you think such a thing is possible?" |
61523 | Do you call that sparing a fellow?" |
61523 | Do you mind?" |
61523 | Do you think it will last?" |
61523 | Each step was a question:"Whither? |
61523 | Finally he asked thickly:"Do n''t you love me, then?" |
61523 | First she had said she cared, and after that she had said she wanted.... Did she really know_ what_ she wanted? |
61523 | For that matter, need she ever show it to him? |
61523 | Ghosts of the past played havoc with her heart, and she thought:"Can I give myself to this man? |
61523 | Had he already struck a snag? |
61523 | Had he come out of the desert for nothing after all? |
61523 | Had she a sister...?" |
61523 | Had she not seen the landscape between them? |
61523 | Had she not shown herself perverse, cruel, and irredeemably fickle? |
61523 | Had she only_ imagined_ herself in love? |
61523 | Had she, indeed, become inclined to be atheistical in her beliefs? |
61523 | Had they not started the thing long ago when their married life was in its springtime? |
61523 | Has it really come to_ such_ a pass?" |
61523 | Has she told you anything definitely about that? |
61523 | He countered without replying:"Did n''t you know how much I cared?" |
61523 | He had held her in his arms a moment, and then.... Then what was it she had said? |
61523 | How are you, dear?" |
61523 | How can one always tell?" |
61523 | How long? |
61523 | How much will the new parish house cost?" |
61523 | How?" |
61523 | How_ could_ he be? |
61523 | I come back from my long sojourn in heathendom, and what do I find? |
61523 | I wonder....""Marjory,"the other asked, with an odd effect of conscious shrewdness,"is he-- is Mr. O''Donnell_ the_ man?" |
61523 | If he does n''t? |
61523 | If it''s true she has changed any way, who knows but you might have an influence...?" |
61523 | In just a swift moment like this had_ all_ his dreams been broken? |
61523 | Is it tea leaves I''m thinking of? |
61523 | Is n''t it absurd? |
61523 | Is n''t it dreadfully delightful?" |
61523 | Is n''t it perfectly natural they should? |
61523 | Is n''t it reasonable?" |
61523 | Is there,"she whimsically faltered,"--is there honestly such a place?" |
61523 | It was perfectly beautiful to see them skipping about, and the little cash boxes running on their tracks overhead....""Marjie,_ really_?" |
61523 | It''s only to be hoped....""Hoped, Alf?" |
61523 | It-- it is n''t Methodist, is it...?" |
61523 | It_ has_ been a long while, has n''t it?" |
61523 | Later on, when the sun is n''t quite so hot?" |
61523 | Leave them here? |
61523 | Leslie seemed almost like one of the family; but what if there should n''t be enough? |
61523 | Louise, some more of the lamb? |
61523 | Marjory, ca n''t I help you to a little more of the lamb?" |
61523 | Might n''t Hilda even do for Leslie, now that she had thrown him over? |
61523 | Might the world call him melodramatic, stagy? |
61523 | Needham might be within hearing distance? |
61523 | Needham, turning around and peering back,"I wonder if they''re not coming?" |
61523 | Needham? |
61523 | No more potatoes, either? |
61523 | No? |
61523 | O''Donnell?" |
61523 | Of course,"she added,"marriage puts a stop to all that sort of thing, does n''t it?" |
61523 | Oh, man of God, what cheer? |
61523 | One broken? |
61523 | Only partly?" |
61523 | Or do you want to take them down where the fire''s going to be?" |
61523 | Or was he feigning listlessness by way of retrieving his rather severely damaged pride? |
61523 | Or was he, too, lying there in the dark with eyes wide open, thinking? |
61523 | Or was she only laughing? |
61523 | Perhaps the smoke has been annoying you?" |
61523 | Piloting tourists?" |
61523 | Practical Christianity, you call it, do n''t you, Alfred?" |
61523 | Richard? |
61523 | See how sharp they are?" |
61523 | She did not start, nor did she flush and cry out:"How did you guess?" |
61523 | She even loved him very much, else would she be engaged? |
61523 | She wanted to implore his forgiveness-- would that set their lives in order? |
61523 | So I understand the Midsummer Roast is in the nature of an anniversary party also?" |
61523 | So how_ could_ we advertise?" |
61523 | Something rich and new in_ Frankfort_? |
61523 | Sometimes I feel.... Well, of course, every one has their times of being jollier than at other times, do n''t they?" |
61523 | Suddenly Hilda ran up close to her sister and asked, in a very low voice:"Have you been crying?" |
61523 | Surely more of the creamed carrots? |
61523 | That means a visitor, does n''t it?" |
61523 | The awful question which now wracked the soul of the minister was: If they had n''t time for church, what_ had_ they time for? |
61523 | Then Lynndal had come, and... and then what? |
61523 | There was the mayor-- or so one fancied; and there were aldermen-- could not one fairly see them sitting in solemn council? |
61523 | There''s a very plaintive note-- you remember?" |
61523 | To this no reply was ventured, and she continued:"Or did he get them both as a kind of divine dispensation? |
61523 | Vaguely she wished it might all have been otherwise, that he might have come into her life sooner, or that.... Ah, what was it she wanted? |
61523 | Was all the promise of new life sheer illusion? |
61523 | Was he asleep? |
61523 | Was he narrow or old- fashioned to feel the way he did? |
61523 | Was he not as she remembered him? |
61523 | Was it not strongly to be doubted whether Harold at length even remembered how lover- like they had been that summer, he and she? |
61523 | Was it not wholly conceivable that she had killed his love for her? |
61523 | Was it that in Marjory? |
61523 | Was it the same sort of thing there?" |
61523 | Was n''t it absurd to ask for lemon in the wilderness? |
61523 | Was n''t it funny? |
61523 | Was n''t it too late? |
61523 | Was n''t it? |
61523 | Was not he making_ her_ suffer? |
61523 | Was she serious? |
61523 | Was she, also, in a way, another Marjory? |
61523 | Was that what made him feel so uncomfortable, always, in her presence? |
61523 | Was this his cue? |
61523 | Well,"she continued after a moment,"and you have n''t forgotten how I won the race-- and why?" |
61523 | Well-- hm?... |
61523 | Well? |
61523 | What brought the flush there? |
61523 | What could I have bought instead...?" |
61523 | What could he say? |
61523 | What did Marjory mean by looking at him that way? |
61523 | What did she ever mean? |
61523 | What did she mean by that? |
61523 | What did she mean? |
61523 | What did such lightning- swift changes of heart signify? |
61523 | What do_ you_ think?" |
61523 | What had gotten into Alfred? |
61523 | What has a heart full of ghosts to do with reason? |
61523 | What if Lynndal Barry should turn out to be another Richard, after all? |
61523 | What if already it were too late? |
61523 | What if, by her coldness and aloofness, she had already created in Lynndal''s heart a havoc which could not be rescinded? |
61523 | What is best? |
61523 | What is best? |
61523 | What more natural? |
61523 | What right had she to question his faith and to speak of truth? |
61523 | What was it that had happened? |
61523 | What was the matter? |
61523 | What was the meaning of this strange commotion? |
61523 | What was the trouble? |
61523 | What was this that had come to him? |
61523 | What would her life be like if she married Lynndal? |
61523 | What would his colleagues of the grip think if they could see him now? |
61523 | What''s the matter?" |
61523 | What''s the world coming to?" |
61523 | What_ was_ to be done, what said? |
61523 | Where had one come from in the beginning; just what was it one was up to now; and where was it one would go when the breath of life ceased flowing? |
61523 | Where indeed? |
61523 | Where was Hilda? |
61523 | Where was Hilda? |
61523 | Where_ was_ she? |
61523 | Who could possibly have foreseen that it would be like this? |
61523 | Who was her mother? |
61523 | Why did n''t you tell me before? |
61523 | Why do you jump on me? |
61523 | Why had she done such a thing? |
61523 | Why had she led him on and on if she did n''t intend to give herself fully at last? |
61523 | Why had they ever sent her East at all? |
61523 | Why not in this also? |
61523 | Why not?" |
61523 | Why on earth should one be concerned about a little sunburn? |
61523 | Why should Louise behave like this if all were well? |
61523 | Why should he be? |
61523 | Why should n''t I?" |
61523 | Why was it she suddenly dreaded the thought of finding herself for the first time alone with Lynndal? |
61523 | Why? |
61523 | Why? |
61523 | Why_ not_ introduce the movies into Sunday School--?" |
61523 | Will it be over beyond the lighthouse?" |
61523 | Will you come around to the back door?" |
61523 | Will you?" |
61523 | Would Lynndal continue to look after the interests, just as before? |
61523 | Would he ever hold her in his arms again? |
61523 | Would he get over this evening? |
61523 | Would he notice them? |
61523 | Would he? |
61523 | Would it not have been much better to come forward gracefully out of a romantic nowhere, perhaps even after keeping him waiting a few minutes? |
61523 | Would it not seem to explain Marjory''s being so uncannily well informed? |
61523 | Would it, perhaps-- her thoughts were flying helter- skelter-- would it perhaps make some fatal difference in the Western business? |
61523 | Would n''t her having bought the book, even, especially if he learned she had bought it, make it all still harder? |
61523 | Would the situation be as tragic then? |
61523 | Would you like to?" |
61523 | Yes, it was better than the streets of pearl and the gates of amethyst-- or was it the gates of pearl and the streets of gold? |
61523 | Yet there have to be pioneers in the world, do n''t there, Barrett? |
61523 | Yet was it really over? |
61523 | Yet who could say but perhaps he knew a little, too, about the subtler bloom of a woman''s heart? |
61523 | Yet would not feeling any other way be simply debauching oneself? |
61523 | You have n''t forgotten how I sent the medal back to you?" |
61523 | You hold meetings, I presume, and then have some refreshments at the end?" |
61523 | You''ll come for me?" |
61523 | _ Was it that?_"Hilda, see here a minute,"said Mrs. Needham; and she beckoned discreetly. |
61523 | _ What is best?_"Miss Whitcom stood meditatively before the somewhat wavy mirror in her little room. |
61523 | _ Where was the roast?_ The Rev. |
46269 | A head start of what? |
46269 | A hundred? |
46269 | A perty pair, eh? 46269 About what?" |
46269 | After what? |
46269 | All right,says I,"but what of it?" |
46269 | All right,says I;"but how?" |
46269 | Always s- s- stoppin''to look in the glass, hain''t he? |
46269 | Always shet up like that? |
46269 | And the spring wagon? |
46269 | And there''s Chancy Miller-- always w- w- wearin''a flower in his buttonhole, hain''t he? |
46269 | And who are you? |
46269 | And you lunatics come out here hopin''to pry them votes out of me, eh? 46269 Any hurry?" |
46269 | Any other Peabodys hereabouts that you know of? |
46269 | Anybody else r- rent horses here? |
46269 | Are you figgerin''on winnin''the contest? |
46269 | Are you going to c- come, Plunk? |
46269 | Are you him? |
46269 | Are you the feller that''s lookin''after this sale for Hoffer? |
46269 | As how? |
46269 | Auction, eh? 46269 Be you givin''up?" |
46269 | Be you_ crazy_? |
46269 | Binney, can you get your pa''s horse? |
46269 | Binney,says Mark,"hain''t your f- f- folks Baptists?" |
46269 | But do n''t it cost me anything? |
46269 | But how come he to hear of it? |
46269 | But if anybody was to g- go right along and pay no attention, what then? 46269 But what''ll we do?" |
46269 | But what''re you g- goin''to do? 46269 But where''ll I go? |
46269 | But,says I,"suppose you pay a dollar for the right to buy Mr. Tidd''s cow on Tuesday, and then when Tuesday comes you have n''t any money?" |
46269 | But,says Mark,"d- don''t you have to give folks a chance to pay up before you seize the store?" |
46269 | Can''t-- can''t I buy the lease? 46269 Chasin''you, was he?" |
46269 | Come right down to see me, did you? |
46269 | Comin''to the auction? |
46269 | D''you figger I got any chance? |
46269 | D- does, eh? |
46269 | D- don''t you figger,says he,"that four b- boys is''most equal to one m- m- man?" |
46269 | Did you git one? |
46269 | Did you know this Bazar was pretty near busted? |
46269 | Did, eh? 46269 Did, eh?" |
46269 | Do n''t look like there''d be much l- left, does it? |
46269 | Do you know Mr. Hoffer-- the m- man that wants to sell his store? |
46269 | Do you own all of it? |
46269 | Do you want to make me an offer? 46269 Do, eh? |
46269 | Does he know you? |
46269 | Does that there gangle- legged, pig- eyed, strawberry- topped imitation of a punkin''lantern go around makin''personal remarks about me? 46269 Early birds, are n''t you?" |
46269 | Easy, hain''t it? 46269 Even if the man is your f- f- father?" |
46269 | Ever hear of a chattel mortgage? |
46269 | F''rinstance? |
46269 | For what? |
46269 | Fun? |
46269 | G- goin''to be busy to- morrow, Uncle Ike? |
46269 | Goin''to shut''em up, Pat? |
46269 | Got a good horse to rent us? |
46269 | Got t- time to stay around? |
46269 | Hain''t he ever here? |
46269 | Hain''t it b- b- bully? 46269 Hain''t it more f- f- fun to play a ball game against another team than it is to bounce a ball against the side of the house all alone?" |
46269 | Hain''t there an automobile? |
46269 | Hamilcar,says he,"did you seen this? |
46269 | Have n''t you seen our signs? |
46269 | Have_ you_ got any Mason jars? |
46269 | He told you, did n''t he? 46269 Hear what he s- says about his horse?" |
46269 | Hey, you,says he, giving him a shake that must have loosened his curly hair,"what''s this about, anyhow? |
46269 | Hoped? |
46269 | How about it? |
46269 | How d''you do? |
46269 | How do I know? |
46269 | How do we stand now? |
46269 | How do you know it''ll be at two o''clock? |
46269 | How does that ten- dollar bill look? |
46269 | How m- much does he want for it? |
46269 | How many? |
46269 | How much d- do you ask? |
46269 | How much do them wax plates come at? |
46269 | How much? |
46269 | How we goin''to work it? |
46269 | How''dy do? |
46269 | How''ll we manage it? |
46269 | How''s Jehoshaphat? |
46269 | How''s business with you? |
46269 | How''s the contest comin''along? |
46269 | How''s your f- f- father? |
46269 | How? 46269 How?" |
46269 | How? |
46269 | How? |
46269 | Howdy, my lad? |
46269 | I calc''late,says he, as gentle as a lamb,"that there''s some such law, eh? |
46269 | Is it a name or something to eat from Sweden? |
46269 | Is the proprietor in? |
46269 | Is_ ministers_ comin''in? 46269 It''s a big responsibility to be left in charge, hain''t it?" |
46269 | Kin I vote''em for anybody I want to? |
46269 | Know him? 46269 Know how they work?" |
46269 | L- looks bad, do n''t it? |
46269 | Ladies,says Mark, breaking right in on them,"have you seen the new p- patent hooks and eyes we just got in from New York? |
46269 | Leased? 46269 Licked?" |
46269 | M- maybe you''ll help us a little? |
46269 | Mark,says I, that Saturday night as we were closing up,"how about it? |
46269 | Mark,says he,"is it a fact that Old Mose has got a thousand votes?" |
46269 | Maybe it''ll be fun for you,I told him,"but what about the Smalley family that expects that Bazar to pay for what they eat?" |
46269 | Mis''Snell,says old Peasley,"do n''t you calc''late I got any pride? |
46269 | No? |
46269 | Not feeling sick, are you? 46269 Not gittin''discouraged?" |
46269 | Now what? |
46269 | Oh,says Mark,"bazars, eh?" |
46269 | Oh,says Mark,"to warn us? |
46269 | Oh,says he,"you got one of''em, eh? |
46269 | Option, eh? 46269 P- permit?" |
46269 | Peabody,says a man,"who''s Jupiter Peabody? |
46269 | Plunk,says Mark, patient- like,"have I got to draw a picture of this thing?" |
46269 | Plunk,says he,"kin you keep a secret?" |
46269 | Poor old defenseless man, eh? 46269 Pretty smart man, hain''t he?" |
46269 | Remember the d- day I went into the country? |
46269 | Remember the time Old Mose sicked his d- dog on us? |
46269 | Sam Jenks,says he,"will you come here and help me just a m- minute?" |
46269 | Say, Mark,says I,"how in tunket did you think up that scheme? |
46269 | Say,I told him,"them clothes of yourn was n''t just_ bought_, was they? |
46269 | Say,says he,"can you tell me, Zadok, what an option is, and how it works?" |
46269 | So you''re Mark Tidd, are you? 46269 So?" |
46269 | Sure that''s the best price? |
46269 | Then my finding it out did amount to somethin''? |
46269 | Then what good is your old lease, anyhow? |
46269 | Then,says Mark,"you want to hurt Mr. Smalley in the hospital, and fix it so his wife has n''t got a cent to buy a meal? |
46269 | There wo n''t, eh? 46269 Think so?" |
46269 | Think you be, do you? |
46269 | Try to bust up a couple of boys, would he? 46269 Um,"says Mark;"looks like a d- d- dangerous kind of a deal, do n''t it?" |
46269 | Um? |
46269 | Uncle Ike Bond? |
46269 | Uncle, is it? 46269 Votes? |
46269 | Votes? |
46269 | W- what''s that? |
46269 | Want to git through this gate, do ye? |
46269 | Was them your signs? |
46269 | Was you havin''a Grand Openin'', Monday? |
46269 | We ca n''t buy it, and if we could, what would we do with it? |
46269 | We got a couple of weeks more, and who knows what''ll turn up? 46269 We got to beat him, hain''t we?" |
46269 | Well, then,says Mrs. Tidd,"why do n''t you tell about it?" |
46269 | Well,says I,"what is it?" |
46269 | Well,says Mrs. Tidd,"what_ is_ an option?" |
46269 | Well? |
46269 | Well? |
46269 | What I want to know,says Skip,"is, will you turn over the stock without a lot of officers and papers?" |
46269 | What about? |
46269 | What am I offered? |
46269 | What are you going to do now? |
46269 | What can I d- do for you? |

46269 | What do you want of Spillane& Company? |
46269 | What do you want, then? 46269 What do you want, then?" |
46269 | What enemy? |
46269 | What ever''s he goin''to Sunfield for? |
46269 | What ever,says I,"did you put two slips in that Methodist box for?" |
46269 | What for? |
46269 | What good''ll that do? |
46269 | What if I''m not? |
46269 | What is it? 46269 What lady or gentleman desirin''an heirloom to hand down to their g- g- great- g- g- grandchildren raises that bid?" |
46269 | What method of procedure have you chosen? |
46269 | What news? |
46269 | What next? |
46269 | What of it? |
46269 | What of it? |

46269 | What votes? |
46269 | What was your ideas about en- encroachment? |
46269 | What you calc''latin''to do with''em? 46269 What you goin''to do about that chattel mortgage? |
46269 | What you going to do? |
46269 | What''d happen? 46269 What''ll I do with''em?" |
46269 | What''ll it be? |
46269 | What''ll you have? |
46269 | What''s that got to do with it? 46269 What''s that? |
46269 | What''s the idea? |
46269 | What''s the idee? |
46269 | What''s the m- main difficulty with auctions, Uncle Ike? |
46269 | What''s the use? |
46269 | What''s these folks doin''here? 46269 What''s this all about?" |
46269 | What''s up? |
46269 | What''s your name? |
46269 | What? |
46269 | What? |
46269 | What? |
46269 | What? |
46269 | When do we start? |
46269 | When does the new store open? |
46269 | When they goin''to take your father? |
46269 | When''ll we be back? |
46269 | Where d''you buy''em? |
46269 | Where to? |
46269 | Where you goin'', Mark? |
46269 | Where you goin''? |
46269 | Where''d you want to drive her? |
46269 | Where''ll we go? |
46269 | Where''s his hat? |
46269 | Where''s the fire? |
46269 | Where,says I,"will you git an auctioneer?" |
46269 | Where? |
46269 | Where? |
46269 | Who does own it, then? |
46269 | Who else? |
46269 | Who is he? |
46269 | Who is it? |
46269 | Who is it? |
46269 | Who is the h- h- h- han''somest man in Wicksville? |
46269 | Who is your client? 46269 Who thought up that auction scheme?" |
46269 | Who thought up the beauty contest? |
46269 | Who thought up these other things you''ve told me? |
46269 | Who thought up this scheme? |
46269 | Who''s been spoke of so far? |
46269 | Who''s boss of your store, anyhow? 46269 Who''s gone and sneaked behind my back and got that lease? |
46269 | Who''s in charge durin''his absence? |
46269 | Who''s in charge of his store? |
46269 | Who''s the worm? |
46269 | Why did n''t you pay him his money and kick him out? |
46269 | Why not d- divide''em equal between the winners? |
46269 | Why should they? |
46269 | Why wo n''t they? |
46269 | Why, Mr. Miller,says she,"what''s the meanin''of this? |
46269 | Why, kid, what d''you s''pose he''s up to now? 46269 Why?" |
46269 | Why? |
46269 | Why? |
46269 | Why? |
46269 | Will you do what we want you to? |
46269 | Wives, is it? 46269 Wo n''t you give us time on the rest?" |
46269 | Wonder how many we''d sell? |
46269 | Ye want votes, eh? |
46269 | You ai n''t g- goin''to let him have this splendid carpet- sweeper for a quarter, are you? |
46269 | You be, eh? 46269 You be, eh?" |
46269 | You do n''t mean for us boys to run the store? |
46269 | You do, eh? 46269 You know pretty well what''s in the stock, do n''t you?" |
46269 | You think you be? 46269 You want-- what do you want to do to it? |
46269 | You wo n''t take part and wait f- for the rest? |
46269 | You''re willin'',says Mark,"that we should s- s- sell for fifteen cents, and for a quarter, and for a d- d- dollar?" |
46269 | Young fellow,says Mr. Spillane,"how''d you like to work for me?" |
46269 | ''Tain''t likely anybody will enter agin''em, is it, Mis''Bloom?" |
46269 | Ah, you consider the lease worth fifty dollars, do you? |
46269 | Alone you might fail, but is not Marcus Tidd with you? |
46269 | Am I right?" |
46269 | And law?" |
46269 | And now, may I ask, what do you desire concerning this so- called lease?" |
46269 | And that scalawag has been tryin''to bust you up in business, eh? |
46269 | And what have we got to show for it? |
46269 | Apples, eh? |
46269 | But wo n''t he be hoppin''mad when he finds out he''s gone and bought that chattel mortgage and then has had to p- pay it himself? |
46269 | CHAPTER III"What''ll we auction off?" |
46269 | Ca n''t you call out the militia, too?" |
46269 | Ca n''t you sell it to him like it was a horse or cow or a p- piece of property?" |
46269 | Can you send money? |

46269 | Did he not name his son Marcus Aurelius Fortunatus? |
46269 | Did n''t calc''late Hamilcar Janes was a- layin''for you behind a tree, eh? |

46269 | Do you have ideas like this often?" |
46269 | Do you think this fight''s over when the mortgage is paid? |
46269 | Do you, now? |

46269 | Eh?" |
46269 | Eh?" |
46269 | Eh?" |
46269 | Ever hear of it?" |
46269 | Every t- time a little store is killed off it costs the wholesaler money, does n''t it?" |
46269 | Figure of speech, eh? |
46269 | Give her a good rest there, mister? |
46269 | Glad to see me, be you? |
46269 | Goin''to turn over the stock without a fuss, or have I got to fetch in the constables and dep''ty- sheriffs and court officers? |
46269 | Got any bang- up neckties? |
46269 | Got most votes for bein''the handsomest man in Wicksville? |
46269 | Got some friends we can depend on? |
46269 | Grown- up folks?" |
46269 | Hain''t I occupyin''it? |
46269 | Hain''t you been jawin''enough? |
46269 | Hain''t you goin''to give a man no peace?" |
46269 | Hain''t you, now? |
46269 | Has n''t, eh? |
46269 | Has this whole consarned town up and went crazy? |
46269 | Have I not?" |
46269 | Have you been finding opportunities? |
46269 | Have you heard Zadok Biggs mention that word before? |
46269 | Have you, if I may put it so, chosen the walk of life you will follow?" |
46269 | He asked a question back:"What had Wicksville folks rather g- g- g- go to than anythin''else?" |
46269 | He did n''t say anything back, but in a minute he asked me,"Know anything about automobiles, Plunk?" |
46269 | He''s our-- what- d''you- call- it?" |
46269 | Hear me? |
46269 | Hear me? |
46269 | Henry Weevil''s son, be you? |
46269 | Hey? |
46269 | How about him?" |
46269 | How about that?" |
46269 | How about that?" |
46269 | How about that?" |
46269 | How be you this afternoon?" |
46269 | How be you, anyhow? |
46269 | How be you? |
46269 | How came she by her n- name, d''you s''pose, if d- drawin''lots was n''t customary? |
46269 | How can he sell things that come to more?" |
46269 | How can they lease it? |
46269 | How many cards, Mis''Peterson?" |
46269 | How many''s that?" |
46269 | How much do you consider your lease to be worth?" |
46269 | How much, for instance, would you be willing to pay for the lease?" |
46269 | How much? |
46269 | How old might you be?" |
46269 | How''d you come to git it?" |
46269 | How''d you ever hear about leases and sich? |
46269 | How''d you expect me to m- make money with this business if I do n''t study it some?" |
46269 | How''ll that do? |
46269 | Huh? |
46269 | I dassent be in that? |
46269 | I says,"or have you got a partner?" |
46269 | Is it yes or no?" |
46269 | Is that why you are here?" |
46269 | Janes?" |
46269 | Jest like all folks, hain''t you? |
46269 | Just talk about clients, eh? |
46269 | Kin turn the screw and shut''em off.... Got one of them talkin''-machines to sell?" |
46269 | Kin you drive a hoss, mister, like a hoss ought to be drove?" |
46269 | Know Ike Bond?" |
46269 | Know th- that? |
46269 | Marcus Aurelius Fortunatus Tidd, is it not? |
46269 | Mark Tidd, eh? |
46269 | Miller?" |
46269 | Not very clear, is it? |
46269 | Now, honest, what do you think of a full- grown man that''ll douse himself with smelly stuff? |
46269 | Now, sir, is it Skip or us?" |
46269 | Now, would n''t anybody think it was_ his_ store? |
46269 | Of course we''ve got to hang on as long as we can for the folks''sake, but we''re beat, hain''t we? |
46269 | Once and for all, will you stop sellin''five- and- ten- cent goods?" |
46269 | Or what?" |
46269 | Or would you rather watch a baseball game between the Compiled Statutes and the Court Rules?" |
46269 | Perty kind of Skip, was n''t it? |
46269 | Right in front of our door they stopped, and Hamilcar says:"What d''you calc''late I got in here, mister?" |
46269 | Say, what you talkin''about, anyhow?" |
46269 | See she gits water and feed? |
46269 | See? |
46269 | See? |
46269 | See?" |
46269 | See?" |
46269 | See?" |
46269 | Shall I bring out my trained law- book for you? |
46269 | Shoot it off, did you say?" |
46269 | Skip do? |
46269 | Skip''ll b- b- beat us to Sunfield and make the deal and-- But what''s the use? |
46269 | Skip,"says he, good and loud, so everybody could hear him,"ca n''t you give us a l- little time?" |
46269 | Skip? |
46269 | Skip? |
46269 | Skip?" |
46269 | Skip?" |
46269 | Smalley?" |
46269 | So they stopped the old fellow, and Mr. Bloom says:"Got any relatives livin''here?" |
46269 | Stealin''a man''s apples, eh? |
46269 | Sturgis?" |
46269 | Tell him you have nothing to d- do with the sale, though, and he''ll have to see-- Who''s your best lawyer here?" |
46269 | That''ll about win this contest, wo n''t it?" |
46269 | The kind folks ca n''t help seein''?" |
46269 | The old gentleman did n''t say a word, either, for quite a while; then he grunted ferocious- like again, and says:"Where else are you going?" |
46269 | Then he looked at Mark and says,"Your Uncle Ike''ll be there, you can bet you; and will he bid? |
46269 | Then what did he do? |
46269 | There''s Chet Weevil, eh? |
46269 | There''s other ways and better ways.... Want to take a look at these fellers?" |
46269 | There''s this, too: even if a woman d- d- don''t think her husband''s han''some, she hain''t g- goin''to let on, is she? |
46269 | They did n''t offer to explain, though, so I says:"Do we git an early start?" |
46269 | Think you can pay off five hundred dollars in six weeks, do you?" |
46269 | Thought you''d fool Old Mose Miller with pies and cakes, eh? |
46269 | To what, if I may be permitted to inquire, do I owe the honor of this call? |
46269 | Understand?" |
46269 | Ve go py the lawyer for that option, eh?" |
46269 | Want to keep me waitin''all day?" |
46269 | We thought we had Jehoshaphat P. Skip licked this m- mornin'', but did he quit? |
46269 | Well, sir, what do you think of that? |
46269 | Well? |
46269 | What call you got to be mixin''up with my health? |
46269 | What can I do for you?" |
46269 | What d''ye want to git through this gate for? |
46269 | What d''you think of a man who''ll take away everything Mr. Smalley''s got, just out of m- meanness?" |
46269 | What do I do? |
46269 | What do I want of votes?" |
46269 | What do you mean by it? |
46269 | What do you mean by sending telegrams nobody can make head or tail to?" |
46269 | What good was the stock of a five- and- ten- cent store to us? |
46269 | What happens? |
46269 | What have you to say to that? |
46269 | What if Hamilcar showed us to Skip and Skip knew us, which he would, and put two and two together? |
46269 | What if somebody did?" |
46269 | What in the world had Zadok told Skip for? |
46269 | What is a lad, anyhow? |
46269 | What is an option? |
46269 | What is it, now? |
46269 | What kind of a way of doin''business is this, anyhow? |
46269 | What method did you contemplate?" |
46269 | What of him? |
46269 | What slinkin'', underhanded, sheep- stealin''pirate did me sich a mean trick? |
46269 | What terms?" |
46269 | What votes? |
46269 | What you goin''to do about it?" |
46269 | What''ll I do? |
46269 | What''ll folks think? |
46269 | What''ll you offer?" |
46269 | What''s ailin''you?" |
46269 | What''s fetched this gang of lunatics here? |
46269 | What''s the matter with these here wimmin? |
46269 | What''s the reason everybody in Wicksville''s pesterin''around my front door? |
46269 | What''s the reason?" |
46269 | What, if anything, would you suggest?" |
46269 | What, then, becomes of the store? |
46269 | When Mark was done the fat man says:"Looking for a job, Tidd?" |
46269 | When he was through Hamilcar hit his big hands together and says:"So you''re Mark Tidd, eh? |
46269 | Where can we hide?" |
46269 | Where is another name like that? |
46269 | Where''s the town marshal? |
46269 | Where, you may ask, is Sunfield? |
46269 | Where?" |
46269 | Who be_ you_, anyhow? |
46269 | Who d''you calc''late nominated''em, Susie?" |
46269 | Who is he?" |
46269 | Why, young feller? |
46269 | Why?" |
46269 | Will you come and help me out?" |
46269 | Will you enter and be seated?" |
46269 | Will you? |
46269 | Wo n''t I show ye? |
46269 | Wo n''t he sell it to me?" |
46269 | Wo n''t he, though? |
46269 | Wo n''t you see your client and find out if we ca n''t make some sort of an arrangement? |
46269 | Won the handsomest- man contest? |
46269 | Wonder what they cost?" |
46269 | Would n''t that beat you? |
46269 | Would n''t they? |
46269 | Would you hear my business rules? |
46269 | Yes, sir!_ Ca n''t you say nothin''but''Yes, sir''?" |
46269 | You and them neckties of yourn''ll be enterin'', eh? |
46269 | You can sell the lease, ca n''t you? |
46269 | You do, do you?" |
46269 | You hain''t forgot Henry Weevil, have you?" |
46269 | You or that fat boy?" |
46269 | You''re a- comin''to our house, hain''t you?" |
46269 | You''re a- goin''to come and take dinner with us, hain''t you?" |
46269 | You''re the miscreants that threw a bomb at the Czar of Russia?" |
46269 | You''re the one that sends mysterious telegrams? |
46269 | Young man, have you chosen a profession? |
46269 | says I,"and where is he takin''flight to?" |
46269 | says he,"what have we here? |
46269 | says he,"you will, eh? |
