33665{ 10}"Ought n''t I to speak to your mother?"
33665{ 137}"Do you mean you would rather_ board?_"Clarissa stared.
33665{ 13}"Mr. Pickersgill, what are your qualifications for the care of a wife and family?"
33665{ 145} Nevertheless, when he spoke, he only said,"And Marvel?
33665{ 171}"Are you quite sure you are completely finished, dear?
33665{ 21}"Mrs. Lannithorne, what do you wish me to understand from all this?
33665{ 30}"Father--?"
33665{ 69}"But what does it all amount to, anyhow?"
33665{ 70}"Who is the other man?"
49579An earl,Mr. Havisham went on,"is frequently of very ancient lineage----""What''s that?"
49579And I was the person who was kind to them-- was I?
49579And he''s one of your acquaintances, is he?
49579And what did she say to that?
49579And what else would you do if you were rich?
49579And what would you like to do for him?
49579And what would_ you_ do in such a case?
49579And who is Jake?
49579And why?
49579And you think I must be proud of it, do you?
49579Are we here?
49579Are you going to write him a letter now?
49579Are you quite sure you want me?
49579Are you the Earl?
49579Been neglecting it-- has he?
49579Ca n''t I go myself?
49579Ca n''t they?
49579Can I give it to her this minute? 49579 Can I have it now?"
49579Can you write?
49579D- does it j- jolt y- you?
49579Dearest,he said,"this is a very pretty house, is n''t it?
49579Did you get here, Mary?
49579Did you sleep well?
49579Do n''t you?
49579Do you find it too large?
49579Do you know her?
49579Do you know,he said,"I do n''t know what an earl is?"
49579Do you know,he said,"why I have come here?"
49579Do you like the house?
49579Do you miss your mother very much?
49579Do you think I shall make a good companion?
49579Do you think it will do?
49579Do you think you could do it?
49579Do you wish to see it?
49579Do you?
49579Do you?
49579Do you_ never_ forget about your mother?
49579Does she want me to go out with her, Mary?
49579England is a long way off, is n''t it?
49579Fauntleroy,he said at last,"what are you thinking of?"
49579Glad to see me, are you?
49579Have n''t?
49579He does, eh?
49579He need not go to- night?
49579He will stay with me to- night?
49579How do you do, grand- aunt?
49579How do you do, ma''am?
49579How do you feel?
49579How far is it?
49579I am a very little boy,he said rather wistfully,"to live in such a large castle, and have so many big rooms-- don''t you think so?"
49579I suppose you think you are very fond of her?
49579I suppose,said the Earl,"that you would much prefer that he should not be the Earl of Dorincourt?"
49579In striking contrast to what his grandfather was, eh?
49579Is it Dearest? 49579 Is it Lord Fauntleroy?"
49579Is it because they like me, Dearest?
49579Is it, indeed?
49579Is not that enough?
49579Is there anything you want,the Earl asked;"anything you have not?"
49579It j- jolts a g- goo- good deal-- do- doesn''t it?
49579It seems a pity my birthday was n''t on the Fourth, does n''t it? 49579 It''s a beautiful place, is n''t it?"
49579It''s a very big house for just two people to live in, is n''t it?
49579It''s a warm night, is n''t it?
49579It''s an American game, is n''t it? 49579 May I come here again and talk this matter over?"
49579May I go to Dearest now?
49579May I pull that little table over here to your chair?
49579May I whisper?
49579Mine-- like the things up stairs?
49579Mine?
49579Mr. Hobbs,he said,"do you remember what we were talking about yesterday morning?"
49579Mrs. Errol, I believe?
49579Must I?
49579No?
49579None about female earls?
49579Not-- not to see Dearest?
49579Now,he inquired,"what must I say?"
49579Ristycratic, is it?
49579Shall I be your boy, even if I''m not going to be an earl?
49579Shall I be your boy, just as I was before?
49579Shall I bring you the pen and ink? 49579 Straight- limbed and well enough to look at?"
49579That other boy,he said rather tremulously--"he will have to-- to be your boy now-- as I was-- won''t he?"
49579That''s it, is it? 49579 That''s your opinion, is it?"
49579Tired?
49579Want to get off?
49579Was it you who sent the cat?
49579We always will like it, wo n''t we?
49579We liked this little house, Dearest, did n''t we?
49579Well,he said;"well, Havisham, come back, have you?
49579Well,said Cedric,"we have been friends for a great many years, have n''t we?"
49579Well?
49579Wha-- what did you say your name was?
49579What does his mother think of you?
49579What does it say?
49579What does that mean?
49579What is it? 49579 What is it?"
49579What is it?
49579What is that?
49579What is there?
49579What shall you tell him?
49579What was Mr. Hobbs''s opinion of earls?
49579What would you get for yourself, if you were rich?
49579What would_ you_ do in this case?
49579What''s that?
49579What''s that?
49579What, Molyneux,she said,"is this the child?"
49579Where did you get that?
49579Where''s the child?
49579Where''s your hat?
49579Where,he said,"is Lord Fauntleroy?"
49579Who are they?
49579Who do they belong to?
49579Who is Dearest?
49579Who is your grandfather?
49579Who''s Newick?
49579Whose pony is it?
49579Will it do if I write it? 49579 Will they take Dearest''s house away from her-- and her carriage?"
49579Wo n''t he? 49579 Would he have loved me,"said the Earl dryly,"if you had told him why I did not receive you at the Castle?"
49579Would you like me to help you?
49579Would you like to see it? 49579 Yes,"said Cedric, rather hesitatingly,"and-- and earls; do n''t you know?"
49579Yes,said Cedric;"but just when Mary came for me, you know?"
49579You have, have you? 49579 You think you ca n''t put it off?"
49579You think,said Mr. Hobbs,"there''s no getting out of it?"
49579You_ must_ go and see your mother this afternoon?
49579And then Dick----""Who is Dick?"
49579And then he added:"Well, what is it this morning, Mordaunt?
49579And you see Michael had the fever----""Who''s Michael?"
49579At last he looked up"Does Newick know all about the people?"
49579But you know all about it, do n''t you?"
49579Ca n''t I_ not_ be one?"
49579Can I go and look at it?"
49579Did you tell Dearest that?
49579Do n''t you?"
49579Do you know,"with some delicate hesitation,"that people are sometimes mistaken about earls when they do n''t know them?
49579Do you think it would amuse you, or do you think it would bother you?"
49579Does your foot hurt you very much this morning?"
49579Healthy and well grown?"
49579Higgins?"
49579How big was it?
49579How can I teach him to use it well?
49579How do you feel?"
49579How early in the morning might he get up and see it?
49579How old was it?
49579I do n''t care about the mother; what sort of a lad is he?
49579I do n''t think any people could be better friends than we are, do you?"
49579I say, what''s the matter?"
49579Is Mrs. Higgins well now?"
49579Is it something like cricket?"
49579Is n''t he good?"
49579Is n''t that fine, Ceddie?
49579Is that exactly the right way to spell''interfered''?"
49579Shall I order it to be brought round?"
49579That is just the way you are, is n''t it?"
49579That was right, was n''t it?"
49579The woman is an ignorant, vulgar person, you say?"
49579Then, after a second''s pause, in which his face brightened visibly,"_ You_ can do anything, ca n''t you?"
49579This is a hot day-- isn''t it?"
49579What colour was it?
49579What did it like to eat best?
49579What did you buy with it?
49579What else does an earl do besides being created?"
49579What else?"
49579What else?"
49579What has your news to do with Lord Fauntleroy?"
49579What kind of a lad is he?
49579What was its name?
49579What was the extraordinary event, if I may ask?"
49579What''s the news?"
49579Where''s the mistress?"
49579Where''s your hat?"
49579Who gave them to me?"
49579Who is in trouble now?"
49579Who was Michael?"
49579Whose lie is this?"
49579Why do they belong to me?
49579Why should not that indulgence be used for the good of others?
49579Would you like me to go and get my game and show it to you?
49579You do n''t mean the mother has n''t told him?"
49579You give me_ everything_, do n''t you?"

49579he asked;"and ca n''t I go faster?"
49579he cried,"could you believe it?
49579he exclaimed,"d''ye know him yerself?"
49579he exclaimed,"d''ye know him yerself?"
49579he exlaimed,"d''ye know him yerself?"
49579he said, at length,"from the gate to the front door?"
49579he said,"I have been kind to you, have I?"
49579he said;"you want to make a builder of model cottages of me, do you?"
49579said the Earl in his deep voice,"that was one of the things you did for yourself, was it?
49579said the Earl,"you like them, do you?"
49579she said;"will he have to be taken away from me?
10540''Art thou married, lady?'' 10540 ''Parlor car seat, Miss?''
10540''Wilt delay the nuptials until I am eighteen and the castle is set in order?'' 10540 Ai n''t they the greatest?"
10540All your time?
10540And people paint fruit, and dead fish on platters, and pitchers of lemonade with ice in,--why do n''t you try things like those?
10540And what became of the money you put in Uncle Allan''s business?
10540And will my Peter- bird be good and make Nancy no trouble?
10540Any of my time?
10540Are n''t your legs in good working order?
10540Are the rest of you at home? 10540 Are you afraid your mother''ll be too small, sweet Pete?"
10540Are you coming to the family council, sweet Pete?
10540Are you''most ready to come home, Muddy?
10540Are you''my son Tom''?
10540Are_ you_ a good bird?
10540At about what hour?
10540Be careful with it, wo n''t you?
10540But if you do n''t share my way of thinking, why do you keep fretting yourself to come and see us? 10540 But they''re too faded out to leave''s they be, ai n''t they, Mis''Carey?
10540But what did mother do?
10540But, Muddy dear, you were n''t in earnest?
10540Ca n''t you_ see_ him, mother? 10540 Can I walk back, Colonel?"
10540Can a naughty bird show a good bird the way home, Addy?
10540Come and help me, Muddy?
10540Did n''t you write the date in Lallie Joy''s book?
10540Did she tell the truth, Aunt Margaret?
10540Did the Admiral tell your son Tom I called him the Yellow Peril? 10540 Do I act as if I did?"
10540Do I remember? 10540 Do n''t they keep anything but magenta?"
10540Do n''t you believe in a college education, mother?
10540Do n''t you like to look at pretty things?
10540Do n''t you love the rooms your father has finished here?
10540Do you care partic''larly where you set, nights, Ossian?
10540Do you hear the frogs?
10540Do you know who could make the walls look as they used to? 10540 Do you like magenta against your hair?"
10540Do you love me next to mother?
10540Do you mean that you are going to have Julia come and live with us,--be one of the family?
10540Do you suppose it ever''rambled,''Muddy? 10540 Doctor of what?"
10540Does n''t the House of Carey need another prop?
10540Done? 10540 Have I not felt it from the beginning?"
10540Have you seen anybody in the cities that could play any faster''n she can? 10540 Hide the body in the corner, Gilly,"said Nancy;"and say, Gilly--""Yes, what?"
10540How about Julia? 10540 How could I grudge you anything when you give us so much,--so much more than we ought to accept, so much more than we can ever thank you for?"
10540How did you chance to bring the butter to- day instead of to- morrow, Lallie Joy?
10540How did you come by your name, Lallie Joy?
10540How did you know it was my birthday?
10540How do you like''em?
10540How does she do that?
10540How much a year does it make, Nancy?
10540How much?
10540How should I know?
10540However, you will agree, modest parent as you are, that your Olive is a genius?
10540I am_ my_ Mr. Hamilton''s son Tom; or shall we say_ our_ Mr. Hamilton''s? 10540 I can read''Up- up- my- boy- day- is- not- the- time- for- sleep- the- dew- will- soon- be- gone''with the book upside down,--can''t I, Muddy?"
10540I mean my Mr. Hamilton''s son Tom?
10540I suppose you think I''m crazy?
10540I suppose you wo n''t come to Buffalo?
10540I, on the wrong train?
10540I? 10540 If there is any real trouble remember to telegraph your Uncle Allan-- did you write down his address, 11 Broad Street, New York?
10540If we show you the painted chamber will you promise not to be too unhappy?
10540Is he going back to China after his visit?
10540Is n''t Mr. Bossy lovely?
10540Is n''t mother the most interesting''scolder''you ever listened to? 10540 Is she fashionable?"
10540Is the illumination for Thanksgiving, I wonder? 10540 Is the mother dead?"
10540Is the news good enough to warrant opening a jar or a can of anything?
10540Is the pain gone?
10540It''s The Tempest; do you know it?
10540It''s a little early for you to be talking about rich noblemen, is n''t it?
10540It''s partly your fault, is n''t it?
10540Land o''Goshen, you''re_ loaded_, hain''t you?
10540Like it?
10540May I read Cousin Ann''s aloud?
10540May I send my bag to the Mansion House and stay a while with you?
10540May we throw this away?
10540Might I inquire what you think of that?
10540Mis''Carey, will you play for me? 10540 Not any more than that?"
10540Oh, Muddy,_ is_ it our duty to write to Mr. Hamilton and tell him about them? 10540 On the wrong train?"
10540Prithee, poppet, what hast dropped into the dish to- day?
10540Quit talkin'', Pop, will yer?
10540Really? 10540 Shall I go to South America, or shall I not?"
10540The only question before the council is, does logic belong at the top, in the scale of reasons why we do certain things? 10540 Then it goes on thus,"laughed Nancy:--"''And who are they?
10540Then may I go?
10540Was it ever so green before?
10540Was it my fault, mother?
10540Was that the Bible, Osh?
10540We have n''t heard lately,said Mrs. Carey;"but he should return within a month or two, should he not, Nancy?
10540We''ll never speak of''last times,''Gilly, or where would any of us be? 10540 We''ve got to leave this place, and where could we live on less than in that tiny village?
10540Well, how would this do?
10540Well, it''s been a long time sence we heard anybody say that, eh, Colonel? 10540 Well, you should n''t; have n''t you any other?"
10540Were the trees ever so lace- y? 10540 What are mothers for, but to do just that, and more than all, for the motherless boys?"
10540What colored trimming did you get?
10540What do you know about this great cause, Nancy dear, at your age?
10540What do you mean?
10540What do you scrub your face with, that makes those shiny knobs stick right out on your forehead and cheek bones?
10540What do you want?
10540What does it matter about us when mother has the long journey and father is so ill?
10540What has he done to make him so unpopular?
10540What has mother been doing, now?
10540What is the dinner, Kitty?
10540What is the matter, child?
10540What is the precious thing, anyway?
10540What would be your advice, Colonel?
10540What would the yellow house be without Peter?
10540What''ll we do with all the milk?
10540What''s the matter with Lowell? 10540 When did it get to be different, I wonder?
10540Where did you come from? 10540 Where does it go, then?"
10540Where will this go?
10540Who do you think sent it,--all the way from China?
10540Why did n''t you tell me? 10540 Why did n''t you try blue for a change?"
10540Why do n''t people make inquiries?
10540Why do n''t you buy some with the money you earn here?
10540Why do n''t you do flowers and houses, Olive?
10540Why do n''t you get Mr. Popham to sharpen it? 10540 Why do you strain it back so tight?"
10540Why does she have to be accounted for?
10540Why not now? 10540 Why not, when you consider her specialty?"
10540Why should n''t they be, considering you?
10540Why, pray?
10540Will Peter go too?
10540Will it take both of you?
10540Will you ask Mr. Lord if he will see me for a moment?
10540Will you come inside, Mis''Carey?
10540Will you kindly tell Miss Olive and Master Cyril Lord that their father has called for them?
10540Will you please head that up before you begin work?
10540Wo n''t you give me a rose?
10540Would n''t he put any professional beauty out of countenance? 10540 Would you want it for more''n this summer?"
10540Wrong train? 10540 Yes, and we are still eating the grand piano at the end of two months, but it''s about gone, is n''t it, Muddy?"
10540You do n''t?
10540You never did notice a birthday; why should you begin now?
10540You see he''s in two pieces?
10540You slave enough for us, as it is, but you shall never slave for anybody else; shall she, Gilly?
10540You will all be in Washington then,she said,"and your son Tom with you, of course?"
10540_ Do you like Julia Carey_?
10540_ What do you say to making him four, or more_?
10540_ What_ specialty?
10540''Have n''t you any sense of propriety?''
10540''How many?
10540''Wilt go to the yellow castle with me, sweet lady?''
10540( Responsibility and care also, but what is the use of discouraging circles when there are not enough of them anyway?)
10540--There is surely something strange in that, do n''t you think so?
10540Ai n''t this the 3.05?"
10540Alone, Cousin Ann?"
10540Also, what rational family could mourn the loss of an irregularly shaped instrument standing on three legs and played on one corner?
10540Am I everything?
10540Am I nothing?
10540And Jo you ever ketch her landin''on a black note when she started for a white one?
10540And do n''t you think you could make a''new beast''out of Mr. Henry Lord, or is he too old a beast even for Mother Carey?"
10540And is n''t the boatful of people coming to the haymaking, nice, with the bright shirts of the men and the women''s scarlet aprons?
10540And what Hamilton could be persuaded to live in the yellow house?
10540And who will know about the planting,--for we are only''women folks''; and who will do all the hammering and carpenter work?
10540Are we foolish?
10540Are you engaged to be married to a little- footed China doll, or anything like that?"
10540Ca n''t I paste those on while you talk to us?"
10540Ca n''t my boys be anything that their brains and courage fit them for, whether they make their own associations or have them made for them?
10540Ca n''t my girls be fine women, fit for New York or Washington, London or Paris, because their young days were passed in Beulah?
10540Ca n''t you feel the wind blowing my hair and dress?
10540Close the barn door carefully behind you!--Am I understood?"
10540Could any of us write a chronicle of any house we ever lived in, and leave you out?"
10540Could anybody give up this painted chamber if it belonged to him?"
10540Could n''t you_ help_ it, mother?"
10540Did we_ have_ to have him for a father?
10540Did you drop anything?
10540Did you notice how Julia_ withered_ when mother said we were not to look upon Beulah as a place of hiding?"
10540Do n''t you love the white horse in the haycart, and the jolly party picnicking under the tree?
10540Do n''t you see that the calf is chewing his cud and is going to move in just a minute?
10540Do two''mys''make one''our''?"
10540Do you know, dear little Miss Nancy, what brought the tears to my eyes in your letter?
10540Do you like it, Muddy dear?"
10540Do you remember once, years and years ago, before Peter it was, that father took us on a driving trip through some dear little villages in Maine?"
10540Do you remember where Kingsley''s redoubtable Tom the Water Baby swims past Shiny Wall, and reaches at last Peacepool?
10540Does this lot o''stuff have to be shifted''tween here and Greentown?"
10540Had the Paragon, the Pink of Propriety and Perfection, confessed a fault?
10540Had the creature never seen Olive sketching, nor noted her choice of subjects?
10540Had the heart of the smug one, the prig, melted, and did she feel at last her kinship to the Carey chickens?
10540Had the heavens fallen?
10540Has it any roses on it?
10540Have you ever lifted a stone and seen the pale, yellow, stunted shoots of grass under it?
10540Have you got all the props you need?"
10540He handed his ticket to the conductor with a broad smile, saying in an undertone,"What kind of passengers are we carrying this afternoon?"
10540How are Gilbert and Kathleen and Julia and Peter?
10540How do the people manage that ca n''t love like that, or have n''t anybody to love?"
10540How else, if they had not learned themselves, could Mother Carey''s chickens go out over the seas and show good birds the way home?
10540How is it with you?
10540How long was yours to him?"
10540How, especially, is Mother Carey?"
10540How_ can_ you?"
10540I allers say, when folks grumble,''Now if you was given the materials, could you turn out a better world than this is?
10540I feel that I know you all, from the dear mother who sits in the centre--"What does he mean by that?"
10540I well know that your income will not support your own children; what therefore shall we do with Julia?
10540I wonder how we could find out about it?
10540I''ve heerd o''paintin''the town,--I guess you''re paperin''it, ai n''t you?"
10540If you had met your mother would n''t you have wanted to marry her?"
10540In the midst of the mystery the solemn young creature is sighing to herself,"What am I meant for?
10540Instead of going herself to spy out the land of Beulah, why not send Gilbert?
10540Is it you who keeps the village store?"
10540Is n''t it all as wonderful as a fairy story?"
10540Is n''t it rather like the process in mathematics where we reduce fractions to a common denominator?
10540Is n''t it the White Mountain train?"
10540Julia, will you show Mr. Hamilton the barn a little later, while Nancy and I get supper?
10540Lady Nancibel trips up the steps after them and, turning, says graciously to her Knight,''Would you just as soon marry somebody else?
10540Let''s us do it; shall we?"
10540May I ask if you are, or have been, a teacher?"
10540May I smoke my cigar under the famous crimson rambler?"
10540Mebbe you marked''em someway so''t you know which to unpack first?
10540Mr. Harmon says she''s too homely to live; now what do you think?"
10540Must I wait till my future comes to me, or must I seek it?"
10540Must we love her, mother, or can we just be good and polite to her, giving her the breast and taking the drumstick?
10540Now do you think you''ve got grit enough-- all three of you-- to bear up for your mother''s sake, when she first comes in?
10540Now will you go into your mother''s room and find your way downstairs by yourself?
10540Oh, Julia, could you shake hands with me, just to show me you know how I despise myself?"
10540Oh, my littlest Peter- bird, how can mother leave you?"
10540Peacepool, where the good whales lie, waiting till Mother Carey shall send for them"to make them out of old beasts into new"?
10540Perhaps he had better, on the whole, keep one lamp burning in the lower part after this, to show that the place was inhabited?
10540Peter?
10540Popham?"
10540Popham?"
10540Prithee, is the other lady bespoke, she of the golden hair?''
10540Shall I sign any papers?"
10540Shall I tell you what more the Careys may do for me, they who have done so much already?
10540She had washed the dishes that night, would wash them again in the morning, but what of that?
10540So on this occasion did Mrs. Carey repeat, as she set Peter down,"Do n''t we belong to Beulah, dear?"
10540Still the dream went on in bewildering circles, and Nancy kept hearing mysterious phrases spoken with a new meaning,--"Will you dance with me?"
10540THE BROKEN CIRCLE V. HOW ABOUT JULIA?
10540The bills are all paid; what''s the matter?"
10540The chorus of"Where shall we put this, Muddy?"
10540The river is our river; the village is our village; the people are our neighbors; Beulah belongs to us and we belong to Beulah, do n''t we, Peter?"
10540The stranger lifted the foreign- looking hat with a smile and said,"My little friend and correspondent, Nancy Carey, I think?"
10540Then the river on clear days, the glimpse of the sea from Beulah''s hill tops, the walks in the pine woods,--could Paradise show anything to compare?
10540Two for the Navy, eh?"
10540V HOW ABOUT JULIA?
10540Was any river ever so clear, or any moon so yellow?
10540Was she not seventeen?
10540Was the hearth fire kindled in the Yellow House sending its glow through the village as well as warming those who sat beside it?
10540We little thought we should find such friends here, did we?"
10540Well, what''s the verse?"
10540What are they requesting you to do,--fly?"
10540What are you doin''out there anyway?
10540What do you say, Peter?"
10540What do you say?"
10540What do you think I am made of that I could ever forget?"
10540What do you think, Julia?"
10540What for?"
10540What for?"
10540What if I should die and leave you?"
10540What if the world was to be a work- a- day world?
10540What mattered it that the years just ahead( for aught she knew to the contrary) were full of self- denial and economy?
10540What shall we do?"
10540What was its quaint little name,--Mizpah or Shiloh or Deborah or something like that?"
10540What would the Pathfinder have done if she had gone, instead of her brother?"
10540What wouldst thou suggest?"
10540What_ do_ you suppose would wake her up?
10540When do you expect the Admiral back?
10540Where is the celebrated crimson rambler, please?"
10540Where is there a sweeter Peter, a fleeter Peter, a neater Peter, than ours, I should like to know, and where a better adviser for the council?"
10540Where was the timid eye, the"hangdog look,"the shrinking manner, he so disliked in his son?
10540Who can say how rich we shall be next summer?
10540Who was the young stranger?
10540Why did n''t the Fergusons adopt her before mother had made her over?"
10540Why did n''t you tell us beforehand?
10540Why do you tie the braids with strings?"
10540Why else should we have made sacrifices to send you?
10540Will you dance the next dance with me, please?"
10540Would the words never stop ringing in his ears?
10540Would you like an old student lamp?
10540You do n''t grudge me bed and board, I suppose?"
10540You remember that Dr. Holmes says of certain majestic and dignified trees that they ought to have a Christian name, like other folks?
10540You''ll have to cover''em up with new paper, wo n''t you, or shall you let me put a coat of varnish on''em?"
10540asked Mrs. Carey, looking away from the letter again,"did you say anything about your Cousin Ann?"
10540did you have to borrow money?"
10540she asked hospitably,"or do you want Lallie Joy to set you a chair on the grass, same as you had last time?"
10540the aged one asks courteously,''and if not, wilt thou be mine?''"
10540what are you whispering about?"
10540when you see Olive nowadays, smiling and busy and happy, are n''t you glad you stretched your wings and took her under them with the rest of us?
9507''Edward''s view''?
9507''Hunted?'' 9507 ''If my son takes to him a wife of the daughters of Heth, what good shall my life be unto me?''"
9507A reply, of course, to the Martover meeting?
9507About the Glenwilliam affair? 9507 Act?
9507After all, do I really care what he thinks?
9507Am I disturbing you? 9507 And as to pleasing your mother, I know somebody who has only to put out her hand--""To please mother-- and somebody else?"
9507And ca n''t stick it?
9507And pray why should Liberal women be ascetics any more than any other kind of women?
9507And the actual words of our Blessed Lord, Betts, matter nothing to you?
9507And then-- Marcia? 9507 And what the deuce is going to happen?"
9507And where shall I come in?
9507And why?
9507Another letter, father?
9507Are n''t women in this world to help each other? 9507 Are n''t you-- aren''t you sorry for those two people?--and do n''t you understand that I-- I hoped I might have helped them?"
9507Are n''t you? 9507 Are you afraid of the grass?
9507Are you any nearer caring for him-- really-- than you were six weeks ago?
9507Are you coming to see me on Sunday?
9507Are you going to be at the Frenshams''dance?
9507Are you going to say anything about Lord Coryston''s letter, William?
9507Are you really in love with this man, Marcia?
9507Are you speaking of Coryston?
9507Arthur, my boy, what''s up now?
9507Arthur?
9507Because of your mother?
9507Because you have so much of it?
9507Because-- Lady Coryston-- I am my father''s daughter?
9507Because-- you think-- divorce is wrong?
9507But it_ was_ Arthur Coryston, was n''t it, who sent you that extra order for to- day, Enid?
9507But of course, Waggin, they were n''t alone?
9507But there are exceptions in the New Testament?
9507But they''ve told you-- he and Arthur-- they''ve told you what''s happened?
9507But what Church? 9507 But where is James?"
9507But wo n''t you put on these roses, miss?
9507But you think other things matter more than politics?
9507By telling him whom we were expecting? 9507 By the way, what are mother and Marcia after, this Sunday?
9507Ca n''t I behave myself?
9507Ca n''t she discriminate between the politician and the private friend?
9507Ca n''t we get him to go away?
9507Can what?
9507Can you come and see me? 9507 Could n''t he go and stir up people somewhere else?
9507Could n''t they? 9507 Could n''t you take to desiring something else, mother, than my''good''as you call it?
9507Darling!--is there anything wrong-- anything that troubles you?
9507Darling!--you did n''t mind?
9507Dear me!--is it really chapel- time? 9507 Did I choose my post in life for myself?--its duties, its responsibilities?
9507Did Lord Coryston tell you to say that?
9507Did you know that Mr. and Mrs. Betts are trying to get at Marcia?
9507Did you see Enid Glenwilliam, mother, in Palace Yard?
9507Did you see my husband as you came?
9507Did you--the girl fidgeted--"did you tell him about Coryston?"
9507Did you?
9507Do I look like joking?
9507Do n''t I know it?
9507Do n''t take the chair for Glenwilliam?
9507Do n''t you dine at half past eight? 9507 Do they put you up there?
9507Do you mean-- let them stay on at the Farm?
9507Do you suspect anything?
9507Do you think I ca n''t keep my temper-- when it''s_ your_ brother? 9507 Do you think I''ve forgotten you for one moment, while I''ve been away?"
9507Do you think he will do what he threatens?
9507Do you think,he said, with deliberate gentleness,"that I feel nothing-- that life can ever be the same for me again-- after this?
9507Do your father and mother really approve?
9507Do? 9507 Edward Newbury''s kind of church?"
9507Edward!--ought you-- to take things for granted about me-- like this?
9507Eh!--what?
9507Especially-- for women?
9507Even between mothers and sons?
9507Even if he''s rude and violent?
9507For what they have done? 9507 Has James been talking to him?"
9507Has Lady Coryston found out yet?
9507Has he just come in?
9507Has he told you?
9507Has she? 9507 Have n''t other people as good a right to live their beliefs as you?"
9507Have n''t you heard of me?
9507Have they drawn it? 9507 Have you at all made up your mind, Enid, what you are going to say?"
9507He can be such a buffoon, ca n''t he?
9507He defended himself?
9507Heard?
9507Heavens, what do I care? 9507 Hm-- does he?"
9507How can I make you happy?
9507How can I, till I know what_ she''s_ going to say?
9507How could she help it? 9507 How could we?"
9507How do you do, Lady Coryston?
9507How do you get on with her ladyship?
9507How do you know? 9507 How do you know?
9507How long have you been concocting this, mother? 9507 How much do you know of this Betts business?"
9507How much mischief will you get into to- day?
9507How? 9507 How?"
9507I hear mother and Marcia are away?
9507I say, Marcia-- it''s true-- isn''t it? 9507 I say, who''s taking my name in vain?"
9507I suppose Corry has been attacking my mother?
9507I suppose my brothers have been here?
9507I suppose she''s pressed you into the service-- makes you help Arthur?
9507I thought you were out for justice-- and freedom of conscience?
9507I''m to make it appear a bargain-- between you and me? 9507 If they separate, you mean?"
9507If you make a solitude and call it religion, what can you expect?
9507If you''re so critical of my clothes, why do n''t you come and look after them and me?
9507Is Miss Glenwilliam here?
9507Is Mr. Arthur here?
9507Is it fair to keep us on tenter- hooks? 9507 Is it so plain that no Conservative mother could endure me?
9507Is that what her note says? 9507 Is the Christian conscience-- alone-- excepted?
9507Is there such a thing as_ matria potestas_? 9507 Laying a stone?"
9507Let me finish?
9507Let''s ask ourselves once more, Herbert-- is it really a wise thing to do?
9507Life wo n''t spare her its facts-- why should we? 9507 Look here, Arthur!--can''t you make a last effort, and get free?"
9507Look here, Marcia, do you think-- do you honestly think-- that I''m the aggressor in this family row?
9507Look here, old boy? 9507 Marcia Coryston?
9507Marcia-- is it really true? 9507 Marcia?"
9507Marcia?
9507Marion, when did you say that you expected Enid?
9507May I come with you, mother?
9507May n''t I?
9507May n''t women care for politics just as strongly as men?
9507Miss Glenwilliam, I believe?
9507Miss Glenwilliam,began Lady Coryston,"you must no doubt have thought it a strange step that I should ask you for this conversation?"
9507Mother!--why do n''t you rest a little?
9507Mr. Betts''s farm?
9507My dear, what''s Edward got to do with it? 9507 Nobody else about?
9507Not bad?
9507Of course-- he was furious?
9507Oh dear, oh dear, what am I to do?
9507Oh, Marcia, am I worthy-- shall I make you happy?
9507Oh, she came, did she? 9507 Oh,_ have_ you heard--?"
9507Ought we to set up these standards for other people? 9507 Perhaps I ought n''t to risk his chances?"
9507Rather hard on your sister, is n''t it?
9507Rather unusual, this, is n''t it?
9507Say anything to his mother? 9507 So far?
9507Something I had ordered?
9507Suppose she was very unhappy with her first husband?
9507Suppose you come to see the seamy side of me-- as you do of everybody?
9507Suppose you get bored with me-- as you have with the Liberal party?
9507Sure of her? 9507 That Coryston is my son?--and has always been regarded as my heir?
9507That we get on? 9507 The boy?"
9507The view of Lord Coryston and yourself?
9507Then James will have them?
9507Then it is still your ultimatum-- that we must separate?
9507Then you have heard? 9507 Then you have refused him?"
9507Then you wo n''t try to persuade your father-- even for my sake, Edward?
9507Then you_ will_ let him stay?
9507Then-- if Arthur married me-- he would be a pauper?
9507There would be no reconciling her to the notion of such a marriage?
9507They did n''t ask anybody to marry them in church, did they?
9507They''re not engaged?
9507They_ are_ married?
9507Was that kind?
9507Well, Enid, how did you get through? 9507 Well, James, are n''t you going to congratulate me?--And why do n''t you do it yourself?"
9507Well, how are you feeling?
9507Well, not bad, was it? 9507 Well, what about him?"
9507Well, what did you think of it, Lester?
9507Well?
9507What about?
9507What are we supposed to do?
9507What are your chances?
9507What did Miss Glenwilliam say to you?
9507What do you mean?
9507What do you mean?
9507What do you think of it?
9507What do_ you_ think? 9507 What does all this mean?"
9507What does it mean for_ me_? 9507 What does that prove?
9507What else could he expect? 9507 What else could it have been?
9507What else should I call it? 9507 What good does it do to anybody?"
9507What had Lord Coryston to do with it?
9507What have you been doing?
9507What have you_ really_ been doing?
9507What is Benediction?
9507What is Lady Coryston doing?
9507What is it, Marcia?
9507What is the matter?
9507What is the matter?
9507What on earth can I do?
9507What on earth do you mean by that?
9507What right has he to be furious?
9507What!--Marcia!--have you seen Arthur?
9507What''s that?
9507What''s the good of being distressed? 9507 What''s the good of it?
9507What''s the matter, Patterson?
9507What''s wrong with Arthur?
9507What''s wrong with Marcia? 9507 What-- get up a subscription for Mr. and Mrs. Betts, and settle them somewhere here?
9507What-- to give up the other meeting? 9507 What?"
9507When can I see Coryston?
9507Where is Arthur? 9507 Where is Edward?"
9507Where''s my hat?
9507Where-- when?
9507Who are the parties?
9507Who are you?
9507Who else should I be thinking of!--after all you told me last week?
9507Who is that lady in the corner-- do you mind telling me?
9507Who is that?
9507Who''s going with you?
9507Who''s tyrannizing now?
9507Who-- Marcia? 9507 Who?
9507Who? 9507 Why did n''t you make him stay?"
9507Why did you give up what you had?
9507Why do n''t you apply to Coryston?
9507Why do n''t you see what Miss Coryston can do?
9507Why not Marcia? 9507 Why should I?
9507Why should n''t Corry respect his mother''s convictions? 9507 Why should n''t they?
9507Why should women set up a new want-- a new slavery-- that costs money?
9507Why? 9507 Why?"
9507Why?
9507Why?
9507Will she have him?
9507Will that do, father? 9507 Will you tell me why you sent for me?
9507With Arthur Coryston?
9507With her? 9507 Wo n''t you hand him on to me?
9507Wo n''t you sit down? 9507 Would you like to upset them again?
9507Yes?
9507You are afraid of being misunderstood?
9507You darling!--what can I do?
9507You expect to see Edward Newbury?
9507You have heard from the Cloan Sisters?
9507You have not even acknowledged it?
9507You have seen my brother? 9507 You know the farm, Jackson?"
9507You love him?
9507You mean they''re so unmeasured?
9507You read it, I presume?
9507You regard me as a nuisance? 9507 You remember how_ terrified_ I was-- lest mother should know?
9507You remember what I told you of Father Brierly and the Community of the Ascension? 9507 You saw who that young lady was?"
9507You think she has done wrong?
9507You think she will change her mind again?
9507You think so, father?
9507You think the arrangement we now propose-- would still compromise you?
9507You will let me come and see you to- morrow?
9507You''ll see that Miss Glenwilliam treats her decently?
9507You''ll write to Corry-- won''t you? 9507 You''re not staying for the rest of the debate?"
9507You''re thinking of Edward Newbury?
9507Your life? 9507 ''How much can I get out of you?--and you?''
9507*****"You have n''t tackled Coryston yet?"
9507--he put both elbows on the table, and looked sharply into Marion''s plain and troubled countenance--"don''t you agree with me?"
9507--her tone was a tone of battle--"was it not an outrage on your father''s memory-- that you should even entertain the notion of such a connection?
9507A motor?
9507A wretched actress on the boards, did she yet possess some subtle perception which came into play at this crisis of her own personal life?
9507Ah!--what is n''t she doing?"
9507All the same, why should n''t we talk about her?
9507Aloud she said,"You do n''t think his being such a Radical, so dreadfully extreme and revolutionary, justifies her?"
9507Am I becoming a beast?
9507Am I to give him what he says he hates-- land and money-- to use for what_ I_ hate-- and what his father hated?
9507Am I to shirk it because I am a woman?
9507And as for right, who else had a right, if not I?
9507And as to that nice but rather stupid fellow Arthur, what on earth could he be doing at the Atherstones''?
9507And can toleration in the active- spirited be ever anything more than approximate?
9507And he is just hanging on the arrival of a letter--""From Enid Glenwilliam?"
9507And he''s told you his precious plan?--of coming to settle down at Coryston-- in our very pockets-- in order to make mother''s life a burden to her?"
9507And may I have a cigarette?"
9507And now?
9507And what else are you doing with mamma?"
9507And what have you to wait for?
9507And what on earth have I taken Knatchett for, except to blazon abroad what our dear mother has been doing?"
9507And what''s this they say about a letter?"
9507And when the law says so too, Edward?--Won''t everybody think it_ very_ hard?"
9507And who knows if I sha''n''t after all be able to make my living out of what I like best?
9507And why_ should_ he go?
9507And you''re going to give it to Marcia?"
9507Are n''t you a friend?--her friend?--our friend?--everybody''s friend?"
9507Are n''t you afraid of his cutting up rough?"
9507Are you prepared to take her into your confidence?"
9507Are you really going to see mother this afternoon?"
9507Are you really so lost to all decency-- all affection-- that you can speak to your mother like this?"
9507Are you sure of her?
9507Are you upset?"
9507Arthur, are you open to any sort of advice from an old friend?"
9507At least, if people do n''t ask me to things I''m insulted, and when they do--""You''re bored?"
9507Because of politics?
9507Betts?"
9507Betts?"
9507But dear Marcia, I hope it''s not true-- I hope to God, it''s not true!--that you''ve quarreled with Newbury?"
9507But did it very much matter?
9507But every now and then little Mrs. Frant threw her an odd look, as much as to say,"Am I really taken in?"
9507But meanwhile the"game,"as Coryston was playing it?--what was to be done as to this episode and that?
9507But perhaps you''ve seen her-- to- day?"
9507But the women!--oughtn''t they to be in the shrine-- tending the mystic fire?
9507But what can she have to do with the Bettses themselves?
9507But what on earth''s up, mother?"
9507But what really held her was the question:"Can I move Edward?
9507But what''s up, now?
9507But when indeed had he not been their delight and treasure from his youth up till now?
9507But who made you a judge and divider over them?
9507But why attack us personally-- call us names-- because of what we believe?"
9507But why''a man,''Waggin?"
9507But wo n''t you trust me?
9507But-- is it my birth, or my poverty, that you most dislike?"
9507By the way, I did not know Mr. Arthur was acquainted with those strange people the Atherstones?"
9507By what dramatic instinct did she thus present herself for this interview?
9507Can I do anything for you?"
9507Can I play my part in it?"
9507Can you manage that stile?"
9507Can you order it for me?"
9507Could n''t I lead you to look at things as I do?
9507Could n''t I make you happy?
9507Dearest, you''re going to trust me with your whole life?
9507Did he blame himself?
9507Did he remember how she had implored him to"take care"?
9507Did n''t you know?"
9507Did she trample on you-- did she scratch and spit?
9507Do I love him?
9507Do I want to do the elder generation any damage?
9507Do you dare to say you do n''t know what it means?"
9507Do you really like the young man?
9507Do you see Miss Glenwilliam pursuing love in a garret-- a genteel garret-- on a thousand a year?
9507Do you see any objection?"
9507Do you see where he is?
9507Do you see?"
9507Do you suppose that business is all settled by now?"
9507Do you think I''d do it for any other woman in the world?
9507Do you think a girl of any spirit whatever would put herself in your clutches after that?
9507Do you think he''s good enough for her?"
9507Do you want to shoot your future son- in- law for taking her from you?"
9507Do you wish to speak to her, sir?
9507Does Coryston, either?
9507Does n''t that throw some light on the ideal function of women?
9507Edward?"
9507Even bad people"--her voice broke--"may rejoice in that, may n''t they?
9507Fear of whom?--of Arthur?
9507For in this book, this locked book, may I not call her by her name?
9507For instance:"What is happening, or what has probably already happened, yesterday or to- day, at Hoddon Grey?
9507For what and whom?
9507Freedom for every one else-- but none for us?"
9507Had she, after all, mismanaged her life?
9507Had that infatuation begun even then, which had robbed her of her dearest-- her Benjamin?
9507Had that infinitely pitiful Christ in whom Newbury believed, received the two tormented souls?--were they comforted-- purged-- absolved?
9507Had they simply ceased to be-- to feel-- to suffer?
9507Has he told you what''s happened?"
9507Have I seen that dress before?"
9507Have n''t we eyes to see this ruin that''s coming, and minds to baffle it with?
9507Have n''t you been scolding and advising me for weeks?
9507Have n''t you got a remark to contribute?"
9507Have you been dishing me altogether?--cutting me finally out of the estates?
9507Have you ever let me, in anything-- for one day, one hour-- call my soul my own-- since I went into Parliament?
9507Have you heard what mother wants me to do?
9507Have you seen Arthur?"
9507His mother!--up?--at seven o''clock in the morning?
9507His wife could not help the sudden thought,"But if we had had an infidel or agnostic son?"
9507How can I begin anywhere else?
9507How can he start again?
9507How can they go against all they''ve ever preached?
9507How could he?
9507How could she think of such things, when her mind was full of Arthur?
9507How does the catalogue get on?"
9507How long did James stay?"
9507How long had she known him?
9507How much longer will this rich, leisurely, aristocratic class with all its still surviving power and privileges exist among us?
9507How was she to meet it?
9507I do n''t often miss, do I?
9507I say, Lester, are you a Suffragist?"
9507I suppose my last speeches have contributed?"
9507I suppose you would n''t like it if I were to make a friend of her?"
9507I wager she got as good as she gave?
9507I was engaged-- yesterday-- and have you said one nice, brotherly word to me?"
9507I wonder if she has a right to anything?"
9507ILLUSTRATIONS"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN CONCOCTING THIS, MOTHER?"
9507If I lose John who will ever give me a kind word-- a kind look again?
9507If I make Corry rich?--and help thereby to throw England to the dogs?
9507If Mrs. Betts withdrew from the scene, from the estate, would not this satisfy everybody?
9507If he were_ very_ rich-- By the way, is he coming this afternoon?
9507If landlordism was the curse of England, why be angry that you were not asked to be a landlord?
9507If not--""Well, if not?"
9507If you love me, would n''t it be right, that-- I should influence you?"
9507In love?
9507Is he really any more tolerant than his mother?
9507Is it in any sense my fault?"
9507Is it serious?"
9507Is n''t God good?
9507Is n''t it a tyranny"--she brought the word out bravely--"when it causes so much suffering!--to insist on more than the law does?"
9507Is n''t life wonderful?"
9507Is that what you mean?
9507Is there a detail of my private or public life that you do n''t meddle with-- as it pleases you?
9507Is there anything I can do for you?"
9507Is your car waiting?"
9507It meant in her--"I am young-- I am handsome-- the world is all on my side-- who shall thwart or deny me?"
9507It vaguely crossed the mother''s mind that her daughter was depressed or annoyed-- perhaps with her?
9507It''s you and I, is n''t it, against the world?"
9507James murmured,"Corry-- old man?"
9507James, did you open your mouth while mother was here?
9507Just because he is my son-- my flesh and blood?
9507Lady Coryston broke out:"I repeat-- you propose to me, Arthur, a bargain which is no bargain!--""A quid without a quo?"
9507Lady Coryston, will you come?"
9507Land!--what does he know about land?--what does a miner-- who wo n''t learn!--know about farming?
9507Lester?"
9507Lester?--Schumann''s''Carnival''?
9507Lord!--what does it matter?
9507Marcia, troubled, intimidated, watched her in silence a few moments and then said:"How can I possibly help you, Mrs. Betts?
9507May I ask-- does that mean that you yourself are still undecided?"
9507Need you have any other relations with them at all?
9507Newbury began:"Will you take a message from me to your sister?"
9507Newbury took his leave immediately afterward, saying to Lady Coryston,"So we expect you-- next Sunday?"
9507No sane man could have written the letter I received last week?"
9507Nobody here, you think, need know anything about you?
9507Now he knows her for what she is-- now that he has"looked into her soul"--must he lose her?--is it all over?
9507Now then-- a fortnight next Wednesday?"
9507Now what is it exactly you want me to do?
9507Oh, Waggin!--you_ did n''t_ see them alone?"
9507Oh, dear Marcia, why do you make me say these things?
9507Oh, father, why, why did he ever come-- to be my death?
9507Or because of the gossip that Arthur is to have the estates?
9507Or did some stern doom await them-- still-- after all the suffering here?
9507Or was it all still plain to him that he had done right?
9507Page?"
9507Shall I have time to show Mr. Coryston the view from the wood- path before tea?"
9507Shall he?"
9507Shall men brave all for women and their fatherland?--and shall one life, one little life, stand in their way?
9507She began abruptly to question Marcia as to whether she had seen Arthur the night before-- or that morning?
9507She broke out impetuously:"You think he''s been badly treated?"
9507She could have lived near them, and Betts could have seen her from time to time--""They refused?"
9507She remembered vaguely that Marcia had come to her that morning in trouble about what?
9507She seemed to be measuring her resources against some hostile force-- to be saying to herself:"Which of us is to yield?
9507She simply lifted her eyes to him, like a miserable child-- saying under her breath:"You know-- I saw them-- the night before last?"
9507She took no notice of Coryston''s,"Well, mother, what''s up?
9507She wants to prove that women ought n''t to shrink from fighting for what they believe, even--""Even with their sons?"
9507She would hardly ever leave the house-- and so long as he does his work-- his scientific work-- need anything else trouble you?
9507Should she go down?
9507Since Christmas only?
9507Sir Wilfrid spoke first:"Are we really, Arthur, to take the statement you have just made seriously?"
9507So now you understand, do n''t you-- what I wanted to ask you?"
9507So this was love?--the supreme of life?
9507Some new development of the Betts trouble?
9507Somebody to be tried and executed?"
9507Surely between them they would make him hear reason, before any suspicion reached their mother?
9507That''s all anybody need know?"
9507That''s what you mean, is n''t it?
9507The Glenwilliams?"
9507The Government?
9507The question is, might n''t she have to put up with me?"
9507Then Sir Wilfrid asked:"When do you go down to Coryston?"
9507Then he said, with evident difficulty:"Dear Marcia-- do you ever think of my father in this?"
9507Then, after a pause,"Do you know that I''m always hearing about you, Miss Atherstone, down in those villages?"
9507They''d suppose you''d separated?
9507Until-- until?
9507Was he going to allow his sister to marry out of her rank-- even though the lover were the best fellow in the world?
9507Was he in any money difficulties?
9507Was her mother ill?--dead?
9507Was it news to him?"
9507Was this rough- mannered, rough- voiced man, Arthur?--the tame house- brother, and docile son of their normal life?
9507We can make room, ca n''t we?"
9507Well now"--Coryston gave a great stretch--"can''t we have a drink?
9507Well now, what were we to do?"
9507Well!--he peered at them-- has she got anything whatever out of young Tartuffe?
9507Well, it was Enid''s way; and after all, who could wonder?
9507Were n''t you here when he was speaking?"
9507Were prophecies to which she had always refused to listen-- she seemed to hear them in her dead husband''s voice!--coming true?
9507What could be the matter?
9507What could he expect?
9507What could he see in her?--what was there in her-- to deserve it?
9507What could she do for her-- how could she help her?
9507What do we_ care_ about the people, our contemporaries, with whom we are always fighting and scuffling in what we are pleased to call_ action_?
9507What do you mean?"
9507What else can you say?
9507What explanation can you possibly give?
9507What fault have I in Paris''s sin?
9507What further scandal could there be?
9507What had become of that early antagonism and revolt which she had expressed to"Waggin"?
9507What if the fire goes out-- if the heart of the nation dies?"
9507What is it?
9507What is that paper, for instance?
9507What is there fresh, dearest?
9507What on earth do they mean by bundling us into chapel like that?"
9507What shall I read?"
9507What sort?"
9507What things?
9507What was happening to them all?
9507What was her mother about to say or do?
9507What was it all about?
9507What were Tory principles worth if they did not some time, at some stage, secure an eldest son, and an orthodox succession?
9507What were they all going to meet for after dinner-- her mother, her three brothers, and herself?
9507What will he say to me?"
9507What will they make of her?"
9507What''s he doing here?"
9507What''s the reason-- the_ justice_ of it?"
9507What''s the sense of it?
9507What''s their religion good for, if it ca n''t do that?
9507What''s up?"
9507What''s wrong with mother?"
9507When had she not fought him?
9507When shall we''resume the conversation,''as you put it?"
9507When will he be at Coryston?"
9507Where are you going to live, and what are you going to do?"
9507Where was he, that she might praise him for his speech?
9507Where would it lead?--how would it work out?
9507Who asked you to be the dispenser for them of blessing and cursing?"
9507Who began it?
9507Who gave you leave?"
9507Who lives there?"
9507Who, she asked, was a tall, fair girl whom she had seen with Mr. Arthur,"a week ago"at the National Gallery?
9507Why ca n''t they leave the rotten things to us?
9507Why did n''t you ask to see my mother?"
9507Why did no letter come for her, no reply?
9507Why do n''t they withdraw-- and let_ us_ take the stage?
9507Why does n''t that girl fly to meet him?
9507Why had she driven matters to this extremity?
9507Why not?
9507Why not?
9507Why on earth should Marcia take this morbid and extravagant interest in the affairs of such people?
9507Why should a girl in her first love- dream be harassed with such a problem-- be brought face to face with such"old, unhappy, far- off things"?
9507Why should he not make himself a_ writer_, like other people?
9507Why should n''t he vote for Arthur?
9507Why should n''t he vote for Arthur?
9507Why should she?"
9507Why, Lady Coryston''s coming--""To trample on her?
9507Why, what''s the matter, my girl?
9507Why?
9507Will she fit herself to this medieval household?
9507Will you allow me to say it?"
9507Will you please do something for my boy?
9507Will you show me that letter?
9507Wo n''t you come and sit down quietly-- and talk the whole matter over?
9507Wo n''t you trust me-- Won''t you believe that neither father nor I would cause these poor things one moment''s pain-- if we could help it?"
9507Wo n''t you?"
9507Would it be too much for you, too tiring?"
9507Would n''t everybody understand-- wouldn''t everybody know you''d done it for pity?"
9507Would n''t you like me to read to you-- or something?"
9507Would n''t you put those first?"
9507Would she come to meet him?
9507Would you give me-- would you give me the greatest joy you could give me, before our marriage?

9507You do n''t regret him?"
9507You have heard of the business with the Baptists?"
9507You have heard, of course, the gossip about the estates?"
9507You know how keen my father is about experimenting with the land?
9507You know that John is to be turned out of his farm unless he will give me up?"
9507You know the great Government farm near Ottawa?
9507You know what they want?
9507You think that ungrateful-- disrespectful?
9507You want it directly?"
9507You''re coming?"
9507You''re engaged to Newbury?"
9507Your mother tells me it''s to be Henry the Seventh''s chapel-- isn''t it?

9507_ Who_ do you say she was?"
9507did n''t you hear something?"
9507she said, wondering--"forbid him to speak out-- speak freely?"
9507what on earth do you mean?"
9507will you come to me-- will you be my wife?"
9507would n''t you like to know?
