32726Do you realize what you''re asking of us?
32726I thought you said you were finding it hard to do?
32726What difference does that make?
32726What the heck we got them for anyway? 32726 Why all this fuss?"
32726Why was n''t I told about it?
32726Why?
32726And a third asked:"Who?"
32726And what is occupying your time now?
32726Another said:"How, when...?"
32726But have either of you two had any feelings for us?"

42324''How can I thank you, my best and only benefactor? 42324 ''May I know the names and residence of those friends?''
42324''That is indeed unfortunate; but if you are really blameless, can not you undeceive them?'' 42324 ''Where do these friends reside?''
42324And did the man whom you pursued travel in the same fashion?
42324And do you also believe that I am so very, very wicked? 42324 And do you dream?"
42324And now, with the world before me, whither should I bend my steps? 42324 Are you mad, my friend?"
42324Before I come on board your vessel,said he,"will you have the kindness to inform me whither you are bound?"
42324But how was I to direct myself? 42324 But where were my friends and relations?
42324Can you wonder that such thoughts transported me with rage? 42324 Devil,"I exclaimed,"do you dare approach me?
42324Do you then really return?
42324Do you think, Victor,said he,"that I do not suffer also?
42324Have you, then, some other attachment?
42324How can I move thee? 42324 How is this?
42324Is that all, my dear Henry? 42324 My dear Frankenstein,"exclaimed Henry, when he perceived me weep with bitterness,"are you always to be unhappy?
42324My dear Victor,cried he,"what, for God''s sake, is the matter?
42324Rise, my poor girl,said Elizabeth,"why do you kneel, if you are innocent?
42324Shall each man,cried he,"find a wife for his bosom, and each beast have his mate, and I be alone?
42324Who is Mr. Kirwin? 42324 Why do you answer me so roughly?"
42324Why do you call to my remembrance,I rejoined,"circumstances, of which I shudder to reflect, that I have been the miserable origin and author?
42324You swear,I said,"to be harmless; but have you not already shown a degree of malice that should reasonably make me distrust you?
42324''Who is there?''
42324Absence can not have rendered you callous to our joys and griefs; and how shall I inflict pain on my long absent son?
42324Ah, dear sister, how can I answer this question?
42324Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind?
42324Am I to be thought the only criminal, when all human kind sinned against me?
42324And could not such words from her whom I fondly prized before every other gift of fortune, suffice to chase away the fiend that lurked in my heart?
42324And do I dare to ask of you to undertake my pilgrimage, to endure the hardships that I have undergone?
42324And how, Victor, can I relate our misfortune?
42324And if these were my sensations, who can describe those of Henry?
42324And now, dear Margaret, do I not deserve to accomplish some great purpose?
42324And then of what use would be pursuit?
42324And what was I?
42324And what, Margaret, will be the state of your mind?
42324And where does he now exist?
42324And wherefore was it glorious?
42324Answer me, I conjure you, by our mutual happiness, with simple truth-- Do you not love another?
42324Are you then so easily turned from your design?
42324Are you to be happy, while I grovel in the intensity of my wretchedness?
42324Believe me, Frankenstein: I was benevolent; my soul glowed with love and humanity: but am I not alone, miserably alone?
42324But he had promised to follow me wherever I might go; and would he not accompany me to England?
42324But it is wrongfully; every one knows that; no one believes it, surely, Ernest?"
42324But where is he, why does he not hasten to me?"
42324But where was mine?
42324But why should I dwell upon the incidents that followed this last overwhelming event?
42324Can any man be to me as Clerval was; or any woman another Elizabeth?
42324Could I behold this, and live?
42324Could he allude to an object on whom I dared not even think?
42324Could he be( I shuddered at the conception) the murderer of my brother?
42324Could they turn from their door one, however monstrous, who solicited their compassion and friendship?
42324Did the murderer place it there?
42324Did they really express pain?
42324Did you not call this a glorious expedition?
42324Do you also join with my enemies to crush me, to condemn me as a murderer?"
42324Do you dare to break your promise?
42324Do you remember on what occasion Justine Moritz entered our family?
42324Do you share my madness?
42324Do you understand this feeling?
42324Does it now only exist in my memory?
42324Had I right, for my own benefit, to inflict this curse upon everlasting generations?
42324Had my eyes deceived me?
42324Have I not suffered enough, that you seek to increase my misery?
42324Have we lost the power of rendering you happy?
42324Have you drank also of the intoxicating draught?
42324How can I describe my sensations on beholding it?
42324How can I see so noble a creature destroyed by misery, without feeling the most poignant grief?
42324How can you, who long for the love and sympathy of man, persevere in this exile?
42324How dare you sport thus with life?
42324How shall I ever repay you?
42324I do not intend to sail until the month of June; and when shall I return?
42324I gasped for breath; and, throwing myself on the body, I exclaimed,"Have my murderous machinations deprived you also, my dearest Henry, of life?
42324I had turned loose into the world a depraved wretch, whose delight was in carnage and misery; had he not murdered my brother?
42324I have endured incalculable fatigue, and cold, and hunger; do you dare destroy my hopes?"
42324I know of no opportunity afforded him for so doing; or, if I had, why should he have stolen the jewel, to part with it again so soon?
42324I learned from your papers that you were my father, my creator; and to whom could I apply with more fitness than to him who had given me life?
42324I regret that I am taken from you; and, happy and beloved as I have been, is it not hard to quit you all?
42324I stretched out my hand to him, and cried--"Are you then safe-- and Elizabeth-- and Ernest?"
42324I wish to soothe him; yet can I counsel one so infinitely miserable, so destitute of every hope of consolation, to live?
42324If I were alone, would he not at times force his abhorred presence on me, to remind me of my task, or to contemplate its progress?
42324Is not this a free country?"
42324Is this gentle and lovely being lost for ever?
42324Is this to prognosticate peace, or to mock at my unhappiness?"
42324Justine, whom I loved and esteemed as my sister, how could she put on those smiles of innocence only to betray?
42324Margaret, what comment can I make on the untimely extinction of this glorious spirit?
42324More miserable than man ever was before, why did I not sink into forgetfulness and rest?
42324Must I then lose this admirable being?
42324My dear friend, what has happened?"
42324My person was hideous, and my stature gigantic?
42324Of what materials was I made, that I could thus resist so many shocks, which, like the turning of the wheel, continually renewed the torture?
42324Once, however, the lieutenant asked, Why he had come so far upon the ice in so strange a vehicle?
42324Persecuted and tortured as I am and have been, can death be any evil to me?"
42324Polluted by crimes, and torn by the bitterest remorse, where can I find rest but in death?
42324Poor, poor girl, is she the accused?
42324Professor Krempe often asked me, with a sly smile, how Cornelius Agrippa went on?
42324Shall I meet you again, after having traversed immense seas, and returned by the most southern cape of Africa or America?
42324Shall I not then hate them who abhor me?
42324Shall I respect man, when he contemns me?
42324Shall I, in cool blood, set loose upon the earth a dà ¦ mon, whose delight is in death and wretchedness?
42324Should she indeed awake, and see me, and curse me, and denounce the murderer?
42324Shutting the door, he approached me, and said, in a smothered voice--"You have destroyed the work which you began; what is it that you intend?
42324Soon after this he enquired if I thought that the breaking up of the ice had destroyed the other sledge?
42324The professor stared:"Have you,"he said,"really spent your time in studying such nonsense?"
42324There was none among the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me; and should I feel kindness towards my enemies?
42324Think you that the groans of Clerval were music to my ears?
42324This was strange and unexpected intelligence; what could it mean?
42324To you first entering on life, to whom care is new, and agony unknown, how can you understand what I have felt, and still feel?
42324Turning towards the men, he said--"What do you mean?
42324Two years had now nearly elapsed since the night on which he first received life; and was this his first crime?
42324Upon this occasion my father said, with an expression of unbounded wonder,"My dearest Victor, what infatuation is this?
42324Victor, when falsehood can look so like the truth, who can assure themselves of certain happiness?
42324Was I then a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled, and whom all men disowned?
42324Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous, and magnificent, yet so vicious and base?
42324Was there no injustice in this?
42324We are all unhappy; but will not that be an additional motive for you, my son, to return and be our comforter?
42324What can I say, that will enable you to understand the depth of my sorrow?
42324What can stop the determined heart and resolved will of man?
42324What could I do?
42324What could I do?
42324What did he there?
42324What did their tears imply?
42324What did this mean?
42324What do these sounds portend?
42324What do you demand of your captain?
42324What do you intend to do?"
42324What is it you fear?"
42324What is the cause of all this?"
42324What may not be expected in a country of eternal light?
42324What then became of me?
42324What was I?
42324What was I?
42324What was my destination?
42324What were rain and storm to me?
42324What would be your surprise, my son, when you expected a happy and glad welcome, to behold, on the contrary, tears and wretchedness?
42324When she saw who it was, she approached me, and said,"Dear sir, you are very kind to visit me; you, I hope, do not believe that I am guilty?"
42324Whence did I come?
42324Whence, I often asked myself, did the principle of life proceed?
42324Where had they fled when the next morning I awoke?
42324Wherefore not?
42324Who can describe their horror and consternation on beholding me?
42324Who can follow an animal which can traverse the sea of ice, and inhabit caves and dens where no man would venture to intrude?
42324Who could arrest a creature capable of scaling the overhanging sides of Mont Salêve?
42324Who could be interested in the fate of a murderer, but the hangman who would gain his fee?
42324Who dared talk of that?
42324Who was I?
42324Why am I here to relate the destruction of the best hope, and the purest creature of earth?
42324Why am I to give an account of myself?
42324Why did I live?
42324Why did I not die?
42324Why did you confess?
42324Why did you form a monster so hideous that even_ you_ turned from me in disgust?
42324Why do you not execrate the rustic who sought to destroy the saviour of his child?
42324Why do you not hate Felix, who drove his friend from his door with contumely?
42324Why had I not followed him, and closed with him in mortal strife?
42324Why not still proceed over the untamed yet obedient element?
42324Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed?
42324Will no entreaties cause thee to turn a favourable eye upon thy creature, who implores thy goodness and compassion?
42324Will you smile at the enthusiasm I express concerning this divine wanderer?
42324Would you also create for yourself and the world a demoniacal enemy?
42324Yet could I, in justice, or even in possibility, refuse this demand?
42324Yet from whom has not that rude hand rent away some dear connection?
42324Yet why do I say this?
42324Yet why were these gentle beings unhappy?
42324You have read this strange and terrific story, Margaret; and do you not feel your blood congeal with horror, like that which even now curdles mine?
42324You, my creator, abhor me; what hope can I gather from your fellow- creatures, who owe me nothing?
42324You, my creator, would tear me to pieces, and triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man more than he pities me?
42324_ Have you thought of a story?_ I was asked each morning, and each morning I was forced to reply with a mortifying negative.
42324and do not you fear the fierce vengeance of my arm wreaked on your miserable head?
42324and was I really as mad as the whole world would believe me to be, if I disclosed the object of my suspicions?
42324and why should I describe a sorrow which all have felt, and must feel?
42324but a moment ago you were moved by my representations, and why do you again harden yourself to my complaints?
42324cried I, while every feature and every muscle was relaxed from anguish to pleasure:"is my father indeed come?
42324exclaimed the old man,''who are you?''
42324how can that be?
42324how do you welcome your wanderer?
42324said he;"or whither does your senseless curiosity lead you?
42324said she,"how shall I ever again believe in human goodness?
42324said she,"why did you rob me of my last consolation?
42324what could it be?
42324what does it avail that I now ask thee to pardon me?
42324what freedom?
42324what must have been his feelings?
42324when will my guiding spirit, in conducting me to the dà ¦ mon, allow me the rest I so much desire; or must I die, and he yet live?
42324who could attempt to pursue him?
42324who is safe, if she be convicted of crime?
42324why did they preserve so miserable and detested a life?
42324you may possibly say; what can Elizabeth have to explain?
5164What friend?
5164Where was he going?
5164Who says you do n''t take it with you?
5164''"How did I come here?"
5164''"Where am I?"
5164''''Ow was I to know that, Dr Glossop?
5164''A bundle?''
5164''A burnoose do you mean?''
5164''A stranger?''
5164''A woman?--Oh.--How do you mean?''
5164''A young man?''
5164''Acquaint!--whom should I acquaint?''
5164''After the ball,--eh?''
5164''Ai n''t yer seein''someone in authority?''
5164''Ai n''t you got no money?''
5164''All night you have wanted me,--do I not know?
5164''All of which is granted, but-- how far was it from Hammersmith Workhouse?''
5164''Am I going mad?''
5164''Am I not coming to it?
5164''Am I to understand, Mr Atherton, that this has been done with your cognisance?
5164''And did you propose?''
5164''And do you regard her as a sister?
5164''And do you suppose that I would have sat still while a cat was being killed for my-- edification?''
5164''And do you suppose that my removal will clear the path for you?''
5164''And he would hang?''
5164''And pray what was your notion of an illustration?''
5164''And should anyone come upon me while engaged in these nefarious proceedings,--for instance, should I encounter Mr Lessingham himself, what then?''
5164''And then what followed?''
5164''And then?''
5164''And what diabolical mischief do you imagine that he proposes to do to her?''
5164''And what did you say?''
5164''And where do you think they have been taken?''
5164''And where is Miss Lindon now?''
5164''And you are Mr-- Who?--how did you come here?
5164''And you did n''t take the cabman''s number?''
5164''And you,--are you kind?
5164''And you,--do you think marriage would colour your convictions?''
5164''And, once more, sir, who are you?''
5164''And, pray, what is the common feeling which we have for him?''
5164''Anyone in there?''
5164''Are you cross with me?''
5164''Are you deaf and dumb?
5164''Are you not his friend?''
5164''Are you off?--can I give you a lift?''
5164''Are you serious?''
5164''Are you sure that the ward is full?''
5164''Are you sure that this man, Robert Holt, is the same person whom, as you put it, you saw coming out of my drawing- room window?''
5164''Are you sure this is Miss Linden''s dress?''
5164''Are you sure those were the words he used?''
5164''Are you sure, Atherton, that there is no one at the back?''
5164''Are you sure?''
5164''Are you sure?''
5164''Are you sure?''
5164''Are you sure?''
5164''Are you the guard of the 12.0 out from St Pancras?''
5164''Are you the sort of clerk who is always out of a situation?
5164''Are you?
5164''As-- how?''
5164''Atherton, what is the matter with you?--Have I done something to offend you too?''
5164''Atherton, what is your actual position with reference to Marjorie Lindon?''
5164''Before all men?''
5164''Before, or after death?''
5164''Beg pardon, sir, but was that a Harab you was a- talking about to the Hinspector?''
5164''But I do n''t understand what cause there has been for secrecy,--why should there have been any secrecy from the first?''
5164''But as yet you are not one.--Is my cause so hopeless?''
5164''But have you acquainted no one with the cause of your non- attendance?''
5164''But how shall I open it if it is locked?''
5164''But if mademoiselle is so tired, will she not permit me to assist her?''
5164''But what am I to do?''
5164''But what am I to do?''
5164''But what has become of Miss Lindon?''
5164''But what is the taradiddle?--don''t you see I''m burning?''
5164''But why?''
5164''But, if there''s room, are n''t they bound to let me in?''
5164''But-- where?
5164''By the way, what was the secret history, this morning, of that little incident of the cockroach?''
5164''By what spell shall I prevent him?''
5164''Can I trust you to respect my confidence?''
5164''Can I trust you?''
5164''Can you describe him?''
5164''Can you describe the person?''
5164''Can you not guess?''
5164''Can you tell me what were the exact tenets of the worshippers of Isis?''
5164''Certainly I am;--but would you, on that account, wish me to share his political opinions, even though I believe them to be wrong?''
5164''Champnell, have n''t you got that dashed hat of yours yet?
5164''Come, my lad, this wo n''t do!--Wake up!--What''s the matter?''
5164''Coming with me?--I am delighted to hear it,--but where?''
5164''Could you describe the two men?''
5164''Did I tell you last night about what took place yesterday morning,--about the adventure of my finding the man?''
5164''Did Marjorie tell you about the fellow she found in the street?''
5164''Did he take anything?''
5164''Did n''t I tell you to say that I did n''t wish to see him?''
5164''Did nothing happen to attract your attention between the young lady''s going back into the house and the coming out of this young man?''
5164''Did the noise keep on?''
5164''Did you acquaint your father with the addition to his household?''
5164''Did you hear anything?''
5164''Did you notice any signs of packing up?''
5164''Did you see him?''
5164''Did you see how he was dressed,--or, rather, undressed?''
5164''Did you think it was a woman?''
5164''Did your servants see him?''
5164''Do I understand that this announcement has been made to me as one of the public?''
5164''Do clerks come through the window?''
5164''Do n''t I tell you that I love her?''
5164''Do n''t tell fibs.--Something is the matter,--tell me what it is.--Is it that I am too early?''
5164''Do you always receive visitors in here?''
5164''Do you hear me?--do you hear what I say?--do you hear me, miss?''
5164''Do you know Paul Lessingham?''
5164''Do you know that as a fact?''
5164''Do you know this man?''
5164''Do you mean about the Arab?
5164''Do you mean that they say it''s full when it isn''t,--that they wo n''t let me in although there''s room?''
5164''Do you mean to say that you do n''t know that you were indebted for that to your Oriental friend?''
5164''Do you not feel for him the same as I?''
5164''Do you not run an equally great risk of being ruined by staying away?''
5164''Do you really mean that you take an interest in-- in my work?''
5164''Do you resent it?''
5164''Do you seek to catch me tripping?
5164''Do you swear that?''
5164''Do you think I ca n''t see that you know all about what Mr Holt has been telling us,--perhaps more about it than he knows himself?''
5164''Do you think he''s in a fit, miss?''
5164''Do you think so,--why?''
5164''Do you think that I ca n''t see your face and read in it the same thoughts which trouble me?
5164''Do you wish me to understand that you do come from Miss Lindon?''
5164''Do you yourself believe that she''ll be like that,--untouched, unchanged, unstained?''
5164''Do you-- do you believe in witchcraft?''
5164''Doctor, if there is any of that brandy left will you let me have it for my friend?''
5164''Does he strike you as being a-- foreigner?''
5164''Does she love another man?''
5164''Done much of this sort of thing?''
5164''Driver, where''s the casual ward?''
5164''Drunk?--dead?
5164''Due!--Yes, I was due,--but what does it matter?''
5164''Each time after you have returned from a late sitting in the House of Commons?''
5164''Excuse me, sir, but who''s the old gent?''
5164''Fanchette!--Is there something with us in the room?''
5164''Flown!--How?''
5164''Friends?''
5164''From a friend of mine?--Are you sure it was from a friend of mine?''
5164''From whom?''
5164''Gentlemen, I fear that I have here something which will distress you,--is not this Miss Lindon''s hair?''
5164''God save us!--who is that?''
5164''Had n''t the followers of Isis a-- what shall I say?--a sacred emblem?''
5164''Had n''t they an especial regard for some sort of a-- wasn''t it some sort of a-- beetle?''
5164''Has Mr Lindon no notion of how things stand between you?''
5164''Has he escaped?''
5164''Has he told you so?''
5164''Has n''t he been a great traveller?''
5164''Has that other young man gone?''
5164''Haunted?''
5164''Haunted?''
5164''Haunts me?''
5164''Have I offended you?''
5164''Have I seen whom?''
5164''Have you been spending the night in this-- wizard''s cave?''
5164''Have you forgotten that this is our dance?''
5164''Have you forgotten what I came for?''
5164''Have you got any brandy in the house?''
5164''Have you heard of Obi?''
5164''Have you hypnotised him?''
5164''Have you no home?''
5164''Have you now?''
5164''Have you seen her?''
5164''He has what, my lad?
5164''He is good to look at, Paul Lessingham,--is he not good to look at?''
5164''He shall never have her,--eh?''
5164''He went up the chimney, as all that kind of gentlemen do.--Why the deuce did you let him in when I told you not to?''
5164''He would be shamed?''
5164''He''s only one of the paupers,--has he any right to act as one of the officials?''
5164''Help me?--How?''
5164''His side is my side, and my side is his side;--you will be on our side?''
5164''Hollo, Holt, what''s the matter with you?
5164''Holt?--Is he an Englishman?''
5164''How am I to know what the thing''s called?
5164''How are you going to get a bed then?''
5164''How are you going to manage it,--have you got any money?''
5164''How close were you to him?''
5164''How do you know it''s his?''
5164''How far is it to Kensington?''
5164''How is it hard?
5164''How is it that you have forgotten that you asked me to come?--didn''t you mean it?''
5164''How long ago do you say this was?
5164''How long ago is it since you left?''
5164''How long ago was it?''
5164''How shall I find it?
5164''How was that?''
5164''How, then, shall I escape his righteous vengeance?
5164''How?''
5164''I am afraid that that I am not one of those persons who ever do appear to much advantage,--did I not tell you so last night?''
5164''I am by no means prepared to admit that I have this feeling which you attribute to me, but, even granting that I have, what then?''
5164''I am not a thief, I am an honest man,--why should I do this thing?''
5164''I am not disturbing you?''
5164''I am now going to show you that little experiment of which I was speaking!--You see that cat?''
5164''I beg your pardon, Marjorie, but this is of the nature of an unparalleled experience,--didn''t you hear something then?''
5164''I daresay.--Do you think I do n''t know you''ve been deceiving me all the time?''
5164''I fancy I have some faint recollection of your being so good as to say something of the kind, but-- where''s the application?''
5164''I know no more than the man in the moon,--how the dickens should I?
5164''I say, Atherton, have you seen Miss Lindon?''
5164''I say,''he remarked, not at all unreasonably,''where am I?''
5164''I see,--a new projectile.--How long is this race to continue between attack and defence?''
5164''I see.--Am I to understand that you do not choose to answer me, and that I am again to use my-- magic?''
5164''I see.--How did the thief escape,--did he, like the delineation, vanish into air?''
5164''I see.--It''s like that, is it?--Suppose she loved another man, what sort of feeling would you feel towards him?''
5164''I suppose I am.--Is anything harder than to be intruded on by an undesired, and unexpected, guest?''
5164''I suppose I shall.--You wo n''t mind being left alone?''
5164''I suppose that the marvels which are told of it are purely legendary?''
5164''I suppose that you did n''t keep a constant watch upon the premises?''
5164''I suppose there is no doubt that you did leave it open?''
5164''I suppose you have to keep this sort of thing secret?''
5164''I suppose, Mr Lessingham, that there is no doubt that this mysterious stranger was not himself an optical delusion?''
5164''I take it that you are a reminiscence of the Rue de Rabagas,--that, of course;--is it not of course?
5164''I thought that you were at the Duchess''?''
5164''I thought you looked as if you was a bit fresh.--What are yer goin''to do?''
5164''I want to know, Mr Stone, if, in the course of the day, you have issued any tickets to a person dressed in Arab costume?''
5164''I wish it were only a bee, I wish it were.--Sydney, do n''t you feel as if you were in the presence of evil?
5164''I''m going to the House of Commons,--won''t you come?''
5164''If I had spoken before?''
5164''If it was all bluff I never saw a better piece of acting,--and yet what sort of finger can such a precisian as St Paul have in such a pie?
5164''If what I guess is what you mean is not that a cause the more why silence would be unfair to her?''
5164''In Heaven''s name, what is the matter with you, man?
5164''In a sense, is n''t that in his favour?''
5164''In men''s clothing?''
5164''In the belief that a priest of Isis-- or anyone-- assumed after death the form of a scarabaeus?''
5164''In the very act of dying?''
5164''In what belief?''
5164''In what respect?''
5164''Indeed.--And pray how is this consummation which is so devoutly to be desired to be brought about?''
5164''Indeed?--What have you gone through?''
5164''Into whose arms,--a constable''s?''
5164''Is Arab with companion in train which left St Pancras at 13.0?
5164''Is Mr Lessingham ashamed of you?''
5164''Is he dead?''
5164''Is he dead?''
5164''Is he great?--well!--is he great,--Paul Lessingham?
5164''Is he mad?''
5164''Is it not sufficient to be yours?''
5164''Is it possible that you imagine that I came here to see something killed?''
5164''Is it some kind of an exhauster?''
5164''Is it yours?''
5164''Is not the fact that I do so pride myself proof that I am not likely to make assertions wildly,--proof, at any rate, to you?
5164''Is papa down yet?''
5164''Is that one of the facts with which you propose to tickle the public ear?''
5164''Is that so?''
5164''Is that so?--Will your past bear the fullest investigation?''
5164''Is that the meaning of the marks upon your neck?''
5164''Is that the only explanation which you have to offer?''
5164''Is there an empty chair?''
5164''Is there anybody in this house?
5164''Is this the person who wished to see me?''
5164''It''s a bargain?''
5164''It''s you, Mr Phillips, is it?''
5164''It?--What do you mean by it?''
5164''Last night you invited me to come and see you this morning,--is that one of the follies of which your tongue was guilty?''
5164''Lessingham!--It''s only a picture!--Are you stark mad?''
5164''Lessingham!--come, man, what''s wrong with you?''
5164''Lessingham,''I said,''you''re either mad already, or you''re going mad,--which is it?''
5164''Like a thief you went into his house,--did I not tell you that you would?
5164''Love her?''
5164''Mademoiselle is not well?''
5164''Marjorie Lindon?''
5164''Marjorie Lindon?''
5164''May I ask how you found your way into my back yard?''
5164''May I ask if I may rely upon your preserving your presence of mind?''
5164''May I ask, sir, to what I am indebted for the pleasure of your company?''
5164''Miss Linden''s-- or the glove girl''s?''
5164''Miss Lindon?''
5164''Money?''
5164''Mr Atherton!--is that you?''
5164''Mr Atherton?''
5164''Mr Atherton?''
5164''Mr Champnell, do you know that I am on the verge of madness?
5164''Mr Champnell,--who do you think this person is of whom the report from Vauxhall Station speaks as being all in rags and tatters?''
5164''Mr Lessingham''s cat?''
5164''Mr Lessingham, I believe?''
5164''Much damage done?''
5164''My blood?''
5164''My dear Marjorie, why will you persist in treating me with such injustice?
5164''My dear chap, how on earth am I to know?''
5164''My dear papa!--do you intend me to spend the remainder of my life in the drawing- room?''
5164''My forgiveness?''
5164''Nice bloke, ai n''t he?''
5164''No!--Have you?--By Jove!--Where?
5164''No?--really?--what do you mean?''
5164''Not in the East?''
5164''Not moved?--Is he still insensible?''
5164''Nothing could give me greater pleasure, but-- might I point out?--Mr Holt has to find it yet?''
5164''Now what''s to be done?
5164''Now, candidly, would you recommend me to place myself in the hands of a mental pathologist?''
5164''Of course I do,--what do you suppose I''ve come for?
5164''Of course I''m sure,--you can go and see for yourself if you like; do you think I''m blind?
5164''Of what?''
5164''Officer, I will have this man taken into my father''s house.--Will some of you men help to carry him?''
5164''Oh!--It''s you, is it?--What the deuce are you doing here?''
5164''Oh, is it nothing?
5164''Oh, was it?
5164''On whom-- on you, or on Paul Lessingham?--Who, at any time, has shown mercy unto me, that I should show mercy unto any?''
5164''On your side,--or Mr Lessingham''s?''
5164''One party only?''
5164''One''s eyes are apt to play us tricks;--how could you see what was n''t there?''
5164''Or a follower of Isis?''
5164''Or does he fear your father?''
5164''Ostensibly, there''s a vacuum,--which nature abhors.--I say, driver, did n''t you see someone come up the steps?''
5164''Papa!--Do you really think that Sydney''s opinion, or your opinion, is likely to alter facts?''
5164''Pardon me, it''s true,--else how comes it that, at this time of day, I''m without a friend in all the world?''
5164''Paul Lessingham''s?''
5164''Peter, what is the matter in the street?
5164''Pray how do you happen to know?''
5164''Pray, sir, are you a magician?''
5164''Pray, sir, who are you, and on whose invitation do I find you here?''
5164''Precisely, what do you mean?
5164''Quite.--You forgive me?
5164''Revolvers?--whatever for?''
5164''Says it''s full, does''e?
5164''Seen a priest of Isis assume the form of a beetle?''
5164''Seen a sign of anything?''
5164''Shall I dismiss the cabman,--or do n''t you feel equal to walking?''
5164''Shall you go with me?''
5164''She is good,--he is bad,--is it not so?''
5164''She went away with Lessingham,--did you see her?''
5164''Sheet of paper and all?''
5164''Should it be locked?''
5164''So you have come, after all!--Wasn''t it splendid?--wasn''t it magnificent?
5164''So you''ave come,''ave you?
5164''So!--Do you always come through a window which is open?''
5164''So!--Through the window again!--like a thief!--Is it always through that door that you come into a house?''
5164''Something of what kind?''
5164''Something tripped me up,--what''s this?''
5164''Something with us in the room?--Mademoiselle?--What does mademoiselle mean?''
5164''Sorry that I love you!--why?
5164''Tell me, Percy,--honest Indian!--do you really love her?''
5164''That is what you do mean, is it?
5164''That you swear?''
5164''The Arab party?''
5164''The Inspector wants to know how you got here, has anyone been doing anything to you?
5164''The blame was mine,--what sort of side do I show you?
5164''The deuce you have!--From whom?''
5164''The inventor?''
5164''The same.--Do you know him?''
5164''Then for what did you come?''
5164''Then how comes he here?''
5164''Then how is it you''ve forgotten?''
5164''Then perhaps you can tell us what was in the bundle?''
5164''Then that''s all right.--Do I understand that you propose to come in with me?''
5164''Then was there silence?''
5164''Then what do you mean?''
5164''Then what do you suggest?''
5164''Then what happened?''
5164''Then what sort of a clerk are you?''
5164''Then what will serve?''
5164''Then where can this mysterious old gentleman have got to,--can you suggest an explanation?
5164''Then where''s the next stoppage?''
5164''Then why did n''t you do as I told you?''
5164''Then why do n''t you let me help you?''
5164''Then why through this?''
5164''Then will you do this for me?
5164''Then you think that-- juggling villain did get hold of her?''
5164''There!--Can''t you hear it droning?''
5164''This friend of Holt''s-- am I not telling you?
5164''This is Commercial Road, sir,--what part of it do you want?''
5164''This is''Ammersmith Workhouse, it''s a large place, sir,--which part of it might you be wanting?''
5164''This mention of the shrieks on the railway, and of the wailing noise in the cab,--what must this wretch have done to her?
5164''This that you''re engaged upon,--is it a projectile or a weapon?''
5164''Three in a hansom?''
5164''To commence with, may I ask if you have come through London, or through any portion of it, in that costume,--or, rather, in that want of costume?
5164''To hear Paul Lessingham?''
5164''To what do you allude?''
5164''To what marvels do you particularly refer?''
5164''To which of the clerks, Mr Champnell, do you wish to put your questions?''
5164''Upset?''
5164''Very well.--Do you happen to know if there are any revolvers in the house?''
5164''W- w- what the d- devil''s the-- the m- m- meaning of this?''
5164''W- what was that tomfoolery she was talking to you about?''
5164''W-- what do you mean by here?--wh-- where''s the carriage?''
5164''Was he a maniac?''
5164''Was he alone then?''
5164''Was he alone?''
5164''Was he alone?''
5164''Was it open when you returned from your pursuit of Holt?''
5164''Waterloo Railway Station,--you are sure that was what he said?''
5164''Well then?''
5164''Well!--this is a pretty fix!--now what''s to be done?''
5164''Well!--why not?--would you have him injure the cause he has at heart for want of a little patience?''
5164''Well, nurse, how''s the patient?''
5164''Well, sir, is your continued silence part of the business of the role you have set yourself to play?''
5164''Well, sir, what''s the matter now?
5164''Well,--was it beetle, then?''
5164''Well?''
5164''Well?''
5164''Well?''
5164''Well?--I see,--Paul Lessingham.--What then?''
5164''Well?--to what?''
5164''Were n''t supernatural powers attributed to the priests of Isis?''
5164''Were n''t the priests of Isis-- or some of them-- supposed to assume, after death, the form of a-- scarabaeus?''
5164''Were there any other noises?
5164''Were there any signs of a struggle?''
5164''What Paul Lessingham?''
5164''What ails you?
5164''What are you going there for?''
5164''What are you?''
5164''What can be the matter with me?
5164''What did he look like,--this old gent of yours?''
5164''What did he say and do?''
5164''What did they understand by transmigration?''
5164''What did you see?''
5164''What do you call your cause?--are you thinking of that nonsense you were talking about last night?''
5164''What do you know of Mr Lessingham?''
5164''What do you know of this man Lessingham?''
5164''What do you mean by that?
5164''What do you mean by that?''
5164''What do you mean by upset?
5164''What do you mean by you do n''t know?
5164''What do you mean by you''re wrecked?''
5164''What do you mean by"of a kind?"
5164''What do you mean with your old gent at the window?--what window?''
5164''What do you mean, it''s yours?''
5164''What do you mean?''
5164''What do you mean?''
5164''What do you mean?''
5164''What do you mean?''
5164''What do you mean?''
5164''What do you mean?''
5164''What do you mean?--was it furnished when you left?''
5164''What do you think has happened?''
5164''What do you want to know?''
5164''What does it matter?''
5164''What else are you?''
5164''What has happened to her?''
5164''What has he done to you that you should wish to be revenged on him?''
5164''What has the Englishman''s law to do with me?''
5164''What have you come to see me about?''
5164''What have you put it there for?''
5164''What is it I am being warned against,--the beetle?''
5164''What is it that you mean, sir?''
5164''What is it you do not know?
5164''What is it?''
5164''What is that?''
5164''What is the matter with the man?''
5164''What is the nature of the delusion?
5164''What is the nature of your objection to Mr Lessingham?''
5164''What is the question?''
5164''What is the story in your life of which you stand in such hideous terror?''
5164''What is the story?''
5164''What is this curious arrangement of glass tubes and bulbs?''
5164''What is this?''
5164''What is your name?''
5164''What matter?''
5164''What old gent?''
5164''What on earth do you mean?''
5164''What on earth do you mean?''
5164''What reason have you for suspecting that Mr Atherton has seen this individual of whom you speak,--has he told you so?''
5164''What sort of a clerk are you?''
5164''What sort of a looking person was he?''
5164''What sort of a man is he to look at, this patient of yours?''
5164''What sort of a thing?''
5164''What sort of looking bloke is it who''s been murdered?''
5164''What sort of man is he to look at?''
5164''What sort of peril?
5164''What then?
5164''What use would he be likely to make of them?''
5164''What was that?--It was nothing.--It was my imagination.--My nerves are out of order.--I have been working too hard.--I am not well.--WHAT''S THAT?''
5164''What was there peculiar about his clothes and his walk?''
5164''What was this you found upon your study table,--merely a drawing?''
5164''What were the words?''
5164''What wo n''t let you?''
5164''What words are they?''
5164''What would Marjorie think of me if she saw me now?''
5164''What would you feel like?''
5164''What!--Not when I am going to be his wife?''
5164''What''s he mean about a beetle?''
5164''What''s he mean?''
5164''What''s in the wind?''
5164''What''s that on his neck?''
5164''What''s that?''
5164''What''s that?''
5164''What''s that?''
5164''What''s that?''
5164''What''s the matter with him?''
5164''What''s the matter with this confounded blind?
5164''What''s the matter with you?''
5164''What''s the matter with you?--Aren''t you well?''
5164''What''s the matter?
5164''What''s the matter?''
5164''What''s the matter?''
5164''What''s the matter?--What have I been saying now?''
5164''What''s the meaning of this little caper?--Where do you think you''re going now?''
5164''What''s the meaning of this, Mrs Henderson?
5164''What''s this?''
5164''What''s wrong with you?''
5164''What?''
5164''Whatever for?''
5164''Where are these-- what shall I call them-- delineations?''
5164''Where are you off to?''
5164''Where are you off to?''
5164''Where have you come from?
5164''Where the devil are we?''
5164''Where''s that?''
5164''Where''s your train?
5164''Where?''
5164''Where?''
5164''Where?''
5164''Where?''
5164''Which is the next nearest workhouse?''
5164''Which is the window which served you as a door?''
5164''Which may I have?''
5164''Who are you?--Do you hear me ask, who are you?
5164''Who are you?--In God''s name, who are you?''
5164''Who calls you?''
5164''Who has he killed?''
5164''Who is the----gentleman you are alluding to?''
5164''Who is this man?''
5164''Who is this-- individual whom you speak of as my-- Oriental friend?''
5164''Who is your Oriental friend?''
5164''Who is your Oriental friend?''
5164''Who put it there?''
5164''Who the deuce are you?''
5164''Who the devil are you?''
5164''Who was that?''
5164''Who was the individual, practically stark naked, who came out of your house, in such singular fashion, at dead of night?''
5164''Who''s the him?''
5164''Who''s there?''
5164''Who''s there?''
5164''Who-- who''s your Oriental friend?''
5164''Who?--Is there more women in the world than one for me, or has there ever been?
5164''Why are you staring at me like that?
5164''Why did you come through the window?''
5164''Why did you leave the door open when you went?''
5164''Why do n''t you?''
5164''Why do you ask?''
5164''Why do you ask?''
5164''Why do you keep on snubbing me?''
5164''Why do you laugh-- do you think that being threatened with the police is a joke?
5164''Why do you lie to me?''
5164''Why is it singular?''
5164''Why not?
5164''Why on him?''
5164''Why should I be?
5164''Why should I let it go?--Do you know whose cat that is?
5164''Why should I?--what does it matter?
5164''Why should she not?''
5164''Why the old gent peeping through the window of the room upstairs?''
5164''Why were they not detained?''
5164''Why, in particular, not to Miss Lindon?''
5164''Why, just as I was going to say,"Miss Lindon, may I offer you the gift of my affection---"''''Was that how you invariably intended to begin?''
5164''Why?''
5164''Will you answer a question?''
5164''Will you be my wife?''
5164''Will you come to my laboratory to- morrow morning?''
5164''Will you let me pass, please?''
5164''Will you let me see it once more?''
5164''With your aunt?''
5164''Wo n''t''e let yer in?''
5164''Would it yours?''
5164''Would she now?''
5164''Would there be time for a wire to reach St Albans?''
5164''Yes, Sydney, what do you feel for me in your heart of hearts?''
5164''Yes,--but how?
5164''Yes,--but of the soul or of the body?''
5164''You are Mr Atherton?''
5164''You are Mr Champnell?''
5164''You are my friend,--are you not my friend?''
5164''You are quite sure this is the house?
5164''You are sure he asked for three tickets?''
5164''You are sure he had a bundle on his head?''
5164''You are sure he was indoors?''
5164''You are sure this thing of beauty was a man?''
5164''You call me thief?''
5164''You can''t.''--Why?''
5164''You come from Miss Lindon?''
5164''You could not?--How do you mean you could not?''
5164''You could wire to St Albans to inquire if they were still in the train?''
5164''You did n''t see who were his companions?''
5164''You did n''t speak to him,--or to the cabman?''
5164''You do not know French?--nor the patois of the Rue de Rabagas?
5164''You do not know?''
5164''You do not understand?--no!--it is simple!--what could be simpler?
5164''You had forgotten?''
5164''You have your own way of conducting a conversation, Mr Atherton.--What are the events to whose rapid transit you are alluding?''
5164''You kept it in your inner drawer, Paul Lessingham, where none but you could see it,--did you?
5164''You know his house,--the house of the great Paul Lessingham,--the politician,--the statesman?''
5164''You know the fellow I saw coming out of your drawing- room window?''
5164''You look English,--is it possible that you are not English?
5164''You mean Scarabaeus sacer,--according to Latreille, Scarabaeus Egyptiorum?
5164''You mean that business of last night?
5164''You never saw anything of her again?--Are you sure she went back into the house?''
5164''You promise me?''
5164''You remember that last night I told you that I might require your friendly services in diplomatic intervention?''
5164''You saw Paul Lessingham,--well?--the great Paul Lessingham!--Was he, then, so great?''
5164''You say he booked to Hull,--does the train run through to Hull?''
5164''You shall see.--You observe how happy it is?''
5164''You think she did?''
5164''You think so?
5164''You think so?''
5164''You think that she still is worshipped?
5164''You will be on my side?''
5164''You''d like to tell him so?''
5164''You''re sure it''s nothing to do with this?''
5164''You''ve been with Miss Lindon all the afternoon and evening, have n''t you, Mr Holt?''
5164''You, Mr Atherton,--are you also a magician?''
5164''You?--Alone?''
5164Ai n''t there a cupboard nor nothing where he could hide?''
5164Am I going mad?
5164And also, and at the same time, who the devil are you?''
5164Are you aware that the purport of my presence here is to ask you how that picture found its way into your room?''
5164Are you better?''
5164Are you driving at something in particular?
5164Are you not well?
5164Are you stark, staring mad?
5164Are you sure the whiskers are real?''
5164Are you under a vow of silence, or are you dumb,--except upon occasion?
5164Are your sentiments towards her purely fraternal?''
5164As Sydney would phrase it,--am I going to make an idiot of myself?''
5164As for there being any revolvers in the house, papa has a perfect arsenal,--would you like to take them all?''
5164As he himself suggested, what inducement could he have had to tell a lie like that?
5164Be advised by me, and do not compel me to resort to measures which will be the cause to you of serious discomfort.--You hear me, sir?''
5164But, as you will perceive for yourself, until I am able to give that information every moment is important.--Where''s the Station Superintendent?''
5164But, on the other hand, what could have become-- in the space of fifty seconds!--of his''old gent''?
5164But, suppose the place was empty, what would be the use of knocking?
5164But, then, what track?''
5164But-- let us begin at the right end!--what''s your name?''
5164By the way, were n''t you due to speak in the House to- night?''
5164CHAPTER XIII THE PICTURE''I wonder what that nice- looking beggar really means, and who he happens to be?''
5164CHAPTER XVII MAGIC?--OR MIRACLE?
5164Can the objection be political?
5164Can you bear to think of him in her arms?''
5164Can you tell me if anything has been seen of the person in question by the men of your division?''
5164Cheer up!--one never knows!--Who is this that''s coming?''
5164Come,--tell us all about it!--what are you afraid of?''
5164Could he give me as much instruction in the qualities of unknown forces as I could him?
5164Did you try to stop him?''
5164Directly I knelt down beside him, what do you think he said?''
5164Do n''t you want to get away from it, back into the presence of God?''
5164Do you dare to insinuate anything against-- Paul?''
5164Do you know that a fellow has jumped out of your drawing- room window?''
5164Do you know that as I am sitting here by your side I am living in a dual world?
5164Do you stand in terror of the minions of the law,--at last?''
5164Do you suppose I live in an atmosphere of fairy tales?''
5164Do you think I am a boy to be bamboozled by every bogey a blunderer may try to conjure up?
5164Do you think I could mistake them,--especially after what has happened since?
5164Do you think I''m mad?--I wonder if I''m going mad.--Sydney, do people suddenly go mad?
5164Do you think I''m quite an idiot?''
5164Do you think that I do n''t know you?
5164Do you think that this is a performance in a booth, and that I am to be taken in by all the humbug of the professional mesmerist?
5164Do you think that''s possible?''
5164Does it take the shape of a-- beetle?''
5164Does the body die, and the brain-- the I, the ego-- still live on?
5164Doubtless my face revealed my feelings, because, presently, he said,''Are you aware how strangely you are looking at me, Atherton?
5164For instance, were there any sounds of struggling, or of blows?''
5164For that alone I could have you punished, and I will!--and try to play the fool?
5164For you are my slave,--at my beck and call,--my familiar spirit, to do with as I will,--you know this,--eh?''
5164Has a message been received from me from the Limehouse Police Station?''
5164Has anyone been assaulting you?''
5164Has anyone been hurting you?''
5164Has the scoundrel attempted violence?''
5164Have I offended you so irremediably that it will be impossible for you to dance with me again?''
5164Have you any news for me?
5164Have you ever seen a clairvoyant?''
5164Have you forgotten something else which you said to me last night?''
5164Have you got those wires?''
5164Have you received any communication from Scotland Yard to- night having reference to a matter in which I am interested?''
5164He is not the man to suffer a midnight robber to escape him scatheless,--shall I have to kill him?''
5164He merely waited till Mr Lindon was well off the steps; then, turning to me, he placidly observed,''Interrupting you again, you see.--May I?''
5164He shouted, as he peered at us in the darkness,''Who done that?''
5164Her life was bidding fair to be knit with his,--what Upas tree of horror was rooted in his very bones?
5164How are you feeling?''
5164How could I come to think I saw something when I did n''t?''
5164I am not even afraid to remember,--you perceive it?''
5164I am not jesting,--I am in earnest; wo n''t you take my word for it?''
5164I ask you!--Is it not good to be dead?
5164I felt it alight upon the coverlet;--shall I ever forget the sensations with which I did feel it?
5164I had not noticed it there previously, I had not put it there,--where had it come from?
5164I instructed them to tell you to have a special ready,--have you got one?''
5164I know better.--Once more, are you going to give me that revolver and those letters?''
5164I said,"How do you know it was he?"
5164I said,"What do you know about any Arab?"
5164I said,"Who?--Baxter?--or Bob Brown?"
5164I say what I mean,--I always have said, and I always shall say.--What do you know of him outside politics,--of his family-- of his private life?''
5164I shall not fail to do what should be done.--Give me your promise that you will not hint a word to her of what you have so unfortunately seen?''
5164I stared,--as who would not?
5164I stood and listened,--what was it that hovered so persistently at my back?
5164I suppose you have no sort of doubt that the person you saw in the Broadway was the one in question?''
5164I was still,--what would my contradiction have availed me?
5164I''d been downstairs it might''ave been''arf a hour, when I''ears a shindy a- coming from this room--''''What sort of a shindy?''
5164If he was n''t indoors, where was he then?''
5164If the man, with whom I had just been speaking, was gone, where had he gone to?
5164If the thing had been a trick, I had not the faintest notion how it had been worked; and, if it was not a trick, then what was it?
5164If this glittering creature was there, in his stead, whence had it come?
5164Is it absolutely certain that there could be no shred of truth in such a belief?''
5164Is it not sweet to stand close at my side?
5164Is it possible that you can enlighten me as to their source?''
5164Is it possible, that, all the time, you have actually been concealed behind that-- screen?''
5164Is it so common for a woman to come across a man who would be willing to lay down his life for her that she should be sorry when she finds him?''
5164Is n''t that something like a weapon, sir?''
5164Is n''t there some superstition about evil befalling whoever shelters a homeless stranger?''
5164Is she mad?''
5164Is that all you have to say?''
5164Is that so, madam?''
5164Is there a better thing than to be his wife?
5164Is there for a woman a happier chance?
5164Is there still the piano?
5164It is n''t a very far cry to Hammersmith,--don''t you think you are well enough to drive there now, just you and I together in a cab?''
5164It would seem out of place in a Cairene street,--would it not?--even in the Rue de Rabagas,--was it not the Rue de Rabagas?''
5164It''s a worry,--you understand?''
5164Its forelegs touched the bare skin about the base of my neck; they stuck to it,--shall I ever forget the feeling?
5164Let me consider,--what has Lessingham done which could offend the religious or patriotic susceptibilities of the most fanatical of Orientals?
5164Like a thief he found you,--were you not ashamed?
5164Like an idiot I followed, leaving Marjorie to wait for me--''''Alone?''
5164Miss Lindon is disguised in your old clothes, is n''t she?''
5164My dear Sydney, are you not aware that it is an attribute of small minds to attempt to belittle those which are greater?
5164Now, why was that?''
5164O''course that ai n''t all I''ve got to say,--ain''t I just a- comin''to it?''
5164Of me he asked in a whisper,''Did you bring a revolver?''
5164Of what wretched folly have you been guilty?
5164Oh yes!--I tell you!--do I not know?
5164Once more I ask, how did you find your way into my back yard?''
5164Only thieves come through windows,--did you not come through the window?''
5164Or should I push my researches further?
5164Or-- could it be a beetle?
5164Perceiving us, she drew a little back''Who''s them''ere parties?
5164Perhaps he remembers me.--Do you?''
5164Shall I advise detention?''
5164She looks upon me as a brother--''''As a brother?''
5164Should I, now I had ascertained that-- the room was, at least, partially furnished, beat a retreat?
5164Since, like a thief he found you, how comes it that you have escaped,--by what robber''s artifice have you saved yourself from gaol?''
5164Sydney, do n''t torture me,--let me stop here where I am,--don''t you see I''m haunted?''
5164That was the question which I had already asked myself, in what condition would she be when we had succeeded in snatching her from her captor''s grip?
5164That while you suffered me to pour out my heart to you unchecked, you were aware, all the time, that there was a listener behind the screen?''
5164The little house with the blue- grey Venetians, and the piano with the F sharp missing?
5164Then he said aloud,''Can you see it now?''
5164They ai n''t coppers?''
5164Think I''ve nothing better to do than to wait upon the likes of you?''
5164This morning did I not say,--if you want me, then I come?''
5164Very good,--then what is it that you do know?
5164Was ever rejected lover burdened with such a task?
5164Was it something new in scientific marvels?
5164We looked upstairs, and downstairs, and everywhere-- where could he have been?''
5164Well, has the beetle done anything to you?''
5164Well,--how does it feel to be dead?
5164What are you then-- French?
5164What could be in the room, to have suffered me to open the window and to enter unopposed?
5164What did he mean by his allusion to lunatics in politics,--did he think to fool me?
5164What do you know against Lessingham, apart from his politics?''
5164What do you know of him besides this?''
5164What do you say has happened?''
5164What do you suppose I sent for you here for?''
5164What does it make you feel like, this love you talk so much about?''
5164What had she not been made to suffer to have kept up that continued''wailing noise''?
5164What has the man, Holt, to do with the errand on which we are bound?''
5164What is in the thing?
5164What is this?''
5164What man''s life has?
5164What the devil are you doing here, what''s wrong?
5164What unimaginable agony had caused them?
5164What was I to do?
5164What would you have thought-- and said-- if I had attempted to play the spy on you?
5164What''s happened?''
5164What''s the matter with the girl?''
5164What''s the matter?''
5164What''s up there?''
5164What''s your information?''
5164What''s your little game?
5164When a man speaks with an Apostle''s tongue, he can witch any woman in the land.--Hallo, who''s that?--Lessingham, is that you?''
5164Where''s it now?''
5164Where''s my servant?''
5164Where''s that brandy?''
5164Where''s that dashed hat of yours,--or are you going without it?
5164Who among men can claim to be without sin?
5164Who but a fanatic would have attempted burglary in such a costume?''
5164Who is this man, and how did he come in here, and who came in with him, and what do you know about it altogether?
5164Who knows what mystery''s beneath?''
5164Who t- takes a nameless vagabond into the house and con- conceals his presence from her father?
5164Who''s been worrying you,--your father?''
5164Who''s that?''
5164Who''s the lady?''
5164Who, with a heart in his bosom, would deny it me?
5164Why did n''t you send for me directly you found him?''
5164Why did n''t you stop him?''
5164Why do you ask?''
5164Why do you beat about the bush,--why do n''t you speak right out?''
5164Why should I not do it then?
5164Why should n''t they be real?''
5164Why should she think of a man like you, when she has so much better fish to fry?''
5164Why should you be sorry that you have become the one thing needful in any man''s eyes,--even in mine?
5164Why will you come where you''re not wanted?''
5164Will you see me to the carriage, Mr Atherton?''
5164With luck you ought to get there pretty nearly as soon as the express does.--Shall I tell them to get ready?''
5164Would Paul not come down with a run?
5164Would you be willing to resign her to him without a word?''
5164Yet what do you think she does?
5164Yet, in that strange and inhospitable place, where was I to get food at that time of night, and how?
5164You are not likely to find it so.--Have you suddenly been bereft of the use of your tongue?''
5164You are small, but he is smaller,--your great Paul Lessingham!--Was there ever a man so less than nothing?''
5164You know me do n''t you?
5164You say you do not know it?
5164You understand?''
5164You will be cold, your feet will be cut and bleeding,--but what better does a thief deserve?
5164You will find it interesting,--as an instance of a singular survival.--Didn''t the followers of Isis believe in transmigration?''
5164You, with your white skin, if I were a woman, would you not take me for a wife?''
5164and where?''
5164as the Marjorie I have known, as I saw her last,--or how?''
5164do n''t all the facts most unfortunately point in one direction?''
5164even the vagabond warns her against the r- rascal Lessingham!--Now, Atherton, tell me what you think of a girl who behaves like that?''
5164his well- beloved?
5164is it necessary that you should come and play these childish tricks with me?
5164tell me who you are?''
5164the light of his eyes?
5164what concern have you with me?
5164what do you want?
5164what on earth should make her do a thing like that?
5164what speechless torture?
5164what''s this?
5164who sent you here?
5164why?
5164why?''
