43826But perhaps some one might ask:"How do you know that the mountains have been elevated or upheaved?

43826Now, which of these layers would be the oldest?

14881Yes, boy, do you see?
14881Yes, but how can we know his will?
14881Yes, mother, but--"And do n''t I let you play the violin, which the Methody elder did n''t much approve of?
14881You do not intend to go in that habit to the reception?
14881You understand English?
14881You wah- wah?
14881You?
14881_ Boston tilicum_, what do you say?
14881A black she- bear came out of the woods, and, seeing the cub, stood up on her haunches in surprise and seemed to say,"How came you here?"
14881Accordingly, one morning, after he had been capering on deck and blowing a rude whistle, he said to the captain:"When do you intend to sail?"
14881All men should be brothers-- see?"
14881And why does the White Chief send among you Death, the robber, with his poison?
14881Are anvils going to fly?

14881As the two came in sight of the house, Mrs. Woods caught Gretchen by the arm and said:"What''s_ them_?"
14881Boston tilicum, I am going to die; I am going away like my brothers-- where?"
14881But how could I begin?
14881But is it right to leave you, mother?"
14881But what made it beautiful?"
14881But what put that thought into your head?"
14881Can I do anything for you?
14881Can I leave thee, Far in heathen lands to dwell?"
14881Can I speak with you a minute in private?"
14881Did n''t I give you a good home in Lynn after your father and mother died?
14881Did n''t I nurse you through the fever?
14881Did n''t I send for you to come way out here with the immigrants, and did you ever find a better friend in the world than I have been to you?"
14881Did you hear anything in the timber last night?"
14881Do n''t you feel it?"
14881Do n''t you long for it?
14881Do n''t you pity me?"
14881Do you hear?
14881Do you see?"
14881Do you see?"
14881Do you see?"
14881Do you see?"
14881Do you suppose that I could become a teacher among the Indians like Mrs. Spaulding?
14881Do you think that the spirit has eyes, and that they see true?
14881Do you understand?
14881Do you understand?"
14881Gretchen, what shall we do?"
14881Had she been led here to help in some future mission to the Indian race?
14881Have n''t I always been good to you?
14881Have n''t you any eyes?
14881Have you heard it, Gretchen?"
14881He rapped a loud, hard rap, and said, in a sturdy tone:"May I come in?"
14881He went to him immediately after the opening exercises, and said:"You have n''t spoken to me this morning; what troubles you?"
14881How is the mission at the Dalles?"
14881How would her real parents have felt had they known that she would have found a home here in the wilderness?
14881I can feel''em-- can''t you?
14881I want you to teach him like a father-- not you understand?"
14881If I were to study hard, would you help me to find such a place in life?"
14881If an Injun will give up his revenge, an''it''s his natur'', ought not I to give up my tongue?
14881In one of these moments of consciousness he asked of Gretchen:"Where is Boston tilicum?"
14881Is there no way to stop them?"
14881Lost your cattle, boy?
14881Master Mann noticed these sudden changes of mood, and he once said to him:"What makes you turn sad, Benjamin?"
14881Now, do you want to know why I let her bring her violin?
14881One of the first questions asked by the old chief was,"Is Eagle''s Plume( Benjamin) brave?"
14881She good to me make me good?
14881That is the kind of propriety that they teach out in these parts, is it?
14881The master welcomed him cordially and courteously, and said:"This is Mr. Meek, I believe?"
14881The waiter rolled up his eyes and said,"Sir?"
14881Then I did not bring you away out here for nothing, did I?
14881They did not see me-- did they?"
14881Was it for this that he had braved The warring storms of mount and sky?
14881Was n''t I a mother to you?
14881What are they there for?"
14881What difference does it make whether a word rhymes with one word or another?"
14881What do you mean?
14881What do you think?"
14881What had happened?
14881What is it you see?"
14881What me do?
14881What put that into your simple head?
14881What shall we do?
14881What should she say?
14881What taught the honks where to go?"
14881What was he going to do?
14881What was that low music I hear?
14881What would be the fate of this boy?
14881Where did you come from?
14881Where did you come from?"
14881Where is the white girl?"
14881Who are the biters?
14881Who knows?
14881Who sends Death among you?
14881Who, who will ride from Walla- Walla, Four thousand miles, for Oregon?
14881Why are they there?
14881Why had Providence led her steps here?
14881Will you accept it?"
14881Will you become my slave and fight for me?''
14881Will you let me have her?
14881Will you obey me?
14881Will you obey me?
14881Will you take him to your school lodge?"
14881Will you teach him to be a good chief?
14881Will you-- will you play-- play that tin- tin at Potlatch under the big moon?"
14881Would it be repeated?
14881Would she go back again?
14881You a teacher?
14881You ai n''t going to take that young Injun into your school, are you?
14881You felt good when I was kind to you?"
14881You understand?"
14881You will be a friend to me, wo n''t you?"
14881You will do the best you can for Gretchen, wo n''t you?"
14881You will?"
14881You?
14881_ But_--your tongue?"

14881bear?
14881yes, we brothers be; Will you not answer me-- Here, here,_ here_?"
21842A mystery is there now, Carl? 21842 According to the law anybody is allowed to shoot dogs caught in the act of running deer, especially in the summer time; is n''t that right, Tom?"
21842All we wanted to do was to ask you if you had seen that paper? 21842 Along-- where to, may I ask?"
21842And did you see the tramps in camp cleaning things out then?
21842And why would hoboes want that to happen?
21842And you allowed them to go on past, you mean, sir?
21842And you kind of had an idea the paper might have blown out through that open window, was that it?
21842And you say the receipt disappeared from the table in your sitting room, without anybody knowing what became of it?
21842Anything gone wrong here Billy?
21842Anything more about that stolen paper?
21842Are we going to stand by and see that sport go on, boys?
21842Are you satisfied to accept Mr. Perkins''apology, boys, in the same spirit in which it is given?
21842Because his name was signed at the bottom, you mean, Tom?
21842But Tom, Amasa Culpepper was n''t in our house that morning?
21842But Tom, do you think we could get some supplies from him?
21842But do we have to carry them along with us like that?
21842But he let Dock stay in the house, you say?
21842But how about that fine big tree yonder, could n''t we take shelter under that?
21842But how are we going to climb up in the tree?
21842But how can you get along, I want to know?
21842But if it was the fault of the lawyer''s clerk why should n''t he be held responsible for the loss? 21842 But tell me how you escaped?"
21842But what are we going to do about this thing?
21842But what can we do for shelter?
21842But what would a feller like me want with your old paper?
21842But what would the boy want to do with that paper?
21842But with a family of children to bring up how are you going to live from now on, when before this happened you had barely enough? 21842 But you still limp, I notice, sir,"remarked Tom;"are you sure you can make it to- day?
21842But you wo n''t think of backing down about going on this grand hike over Big Bear Mountain, I hope?
21842But you would not be so cruel as to deprive my children of their bread simply because of a little technicality, sir? 21842 But you_ did_ leave him alone there, did n''t you?"
21842Ca n''t you get us out of here, fellers?
21842Can you see if_ he''s_ in there, Tom?
21842Cooled''em off, eh?
21842Did Mrs. Oskamp see me take anything?
21842Did n''t I see that dog take hold of you by the leg, Felix, at the time you struck him so hard on the head with your club?
21842Do I? 21842 Do n''t you think that it was a little careless, Carl, in your mother, to do that?"
21842Do you mean some rowdies tried to make trouble for you?
21842Do you mean there''s any chance for us to keep going, after our things have been taken in this way?
21842Do you mean try to find out what the sum is he asked Amasa to pay him?
21842Do you suppose Mr. Henderson has brought that stout rope along with the idea that it may be needed to pull any one out of the mud?
21842Do you think Mr. Culpepper could have hired Dock to_ steal_ the paper?
21842Does Amasa still drop in to call now and then?
21842First of all do you remember what that receipt made out by Mr. Culpepper looked like, Carl?
21842Going into the real- estate business, are you, Billy?
21842Have we passed that dangerous place you were telling us about, sir?
21842How about allowing dogs to roam the woods up here, Tom; is n''t it against the law in this State nowadays?
21842How about others who are lazy, and always wanting to put things off to another day? 21842 How about that, Josh; would n''t you call a bog a swamp, too?"
21842How did you get out?
21842How is everything now, Carl?
21842How long ago was it that the raid took place, Billy?
21842How long was it between the time your mother laid the paper on the table and the moment she missed it?
21842How''d I be able to help Mrs. Oskamp out, tell me? 21842 How, sir?"
21842I did n''t have any chance to ask you about the big oak?
21842I judge from what you say, sir, that you have had the misfortune to lose some of your poultry lately? 21842 I never heard you say anything about it before, Tom?"
21842I wonder how deep that mud is anyhow?
21842I wonder what he''s meaning to do?
21842I wonder what those other fellows are doing about now?
21842Is it then so dangerous?
21842Is n''t that our chum, Billy, waving his hands to us?
21842Is that what they do?
21842It''s all over for to- night then?
21842Just why did you frown on the scout movement, may I ask, sir?
21842Listen to it roaring, up on the mountain?
21842Listen to the row up there, will you?
21842Look over yonder between those bushes, sir; does n''t that seem to be about the kind of place you''re after?
21842Me? 21842 Meaning the fact that Dock Phillips is somewhere up there on the mountain; that''s what you''ve got in your mind, is n''t it, Carl?"
21842Meaning you believe you know who the fellows were?
21842Mr. Henderson do you expect to remain in town over night?
21842No one sick over at your house, is there?
21842Nothing can be done, I suppose, Carl?
21842Oh is that so?
21842Oh, am I?
21842Oh, is there any chance of a terrible storm dropping down on us, do you think?
21842Oh, why did n''t ye come last June? 21842 Say, did you feel anything then?"
21842Shall we get started right away, Tom?
21842She''s sure of that, is she?
21842So she laid it on the table, did she?
21842Stop and think-- who would like nothing better than to put us in a hole? 21842 Tell me what it is then; and can we start in to try it right away?"
21842Tell me, am I seein''things Bill Scruggs? 21842 That grocer''s boy is a fellow by the name of Dock Phillips, is n''t he?"
21842That was why I saw a light over in your room late last night, was it?
21842That would be apt to make him come to time with a jump, would n''t it?
21842That''s all true enough, Tom, but tell me what you mean by saying that in the way you did? 21842 The next thing for us to see about is how under the sun will we cook all these delicious bass Billy''s got ready?"
21842Then Mr. Witherspoon is willing to organize the Lenox Troop of Boy Scouts, is he, Tom?
21842Then it was struck by that terrible bolt, was it?
21842Then it''s different with a scout, is it, sir?
21842Then what else has cropped up to bother you, Carl?
21842Then you have lost one, have you sir?
21842Then you must know Ezra Brush, for he was born in the farm house he occupies to this day?
21842Tom, would it be right for me to have another talk with Dock, and make him an offer?
21842Tom, would it pay us to follow them right now?
21842Tom, you''ve studied your chart good and hard, let''s hope,commented Josh;"so we wo n''t run any chance of going past the place without knowing it?"
21842Two minutes would be plenty of time, would n''t it, Tom?
21842Was it about that tenement house she owns, and the rents from which comes part of her income?
21842We could n''t do anything, Tom, now our paper''s gone off on the current?
21842We ought to make that little lake by the afternoon, ought n''t we, Tom?
21842We wo n''t try to carry any tent, will we, Tom?
21842We''ll keep you only a few minutes at the most, Dock,continued Tom;"you take the orders for groceries for the store, do n''t you?"
21842Well, that was a queer happening, was n''t it?
21842What another irate farmer?
21842What d''ye think of that, fellows?
21842What did you do to them?
21842What did you do?
21842What did you hear?
21842What do you mean by saying that?
21842What has that got to do with your scheme?
21842What if they have gotten lost in that awful mud bog, and right now are stuck fast there, whooping for help?
21842What is it, Josh?
21842What is it, then?
21842What kind of a paper was it?
21842What luck, Tom?
21842What makes you think that, Josh?
21842What sort of trouble do you mean, George?
21842What will she do when you''re away with the rest of us on that ten day hike over Big Bear Mountain?
21842What would we have done without any skillet at all, Tom?
21842What''s gone wrong, Carl?
21842What''s happened?
21842What''s that you are saying?
21842What''s that?
21842What''s the matter with taking a log and straddling the same?
21842What''s this here?
21842What''s this you''re a- sayin'', Tom Chesney? 21842 What''s this you''re talking about?"
21842What, me? 21842 What, that old miser pay any real money out?
21842Whatever have the scouts been doing this time to raise trouble? 21842 When will you get busy on that copy, Carl?"
21842Where are you going, Tom?
21842Who would have dreamed such a blast could sweep down and take that paper off? 21842 Why do you believe that?"
21842Why should they bother when it was seven against one, Tom?
21842Why should we do that?
21842Why should we take water when we laid our plans first?
21842Why, how could that be?
21842Why, that lot of boys seems to be having a snowball fight, do n''t they? 21842 Wo n''t you tie up your dogs, Mr. Brush, and come and join us here before the fire?"
21842Would n''t it be a great thing if we did happen on a real bear while we were out on this hike?
21842Yes, but why pick out Big Bear Mountain,Felix wanted to know;"unless they meant to spy on the scouts, and give us all the trouble they could?"
21842Yes, but you have n''t told me what it is?
21842Yes, that''s just what they did state,added Felix;"you''ve got to have things authenticated-- wasn''t that the word the paper used?"
21842Yes, what did they do to you, Billy?
21842You do n''t say, mister?
21842You heard what he said about the meanness of his employer, did n''t you?
21842You mean Dock wants more than Amasa is willing to pay, is that it, Tom?
21842You mean about saying it was a paper that had been lost?
21842You mean we expect to push right up the mountain and begin exploring the country, do n''t you, Tom?
21842You spoke of hunting in the garden and around the outside of the house; why should you do that?
21842You want to know what I think of it, boys?
21842You''re worrying again because nothing has happened as we hoped would be the case, eh, Carl?
21842You''ve lived around here some time, I take it?
21842Anybody know of a pond that''s got a nice green coating of scum on the top?
21842Anybody with hoss sense could put them facts together, could n''t they?
21842Besides, how was I to know they would pay the slightest heed to anything I might say?
21842Besides, they were in no hurry; so what was the use of exerting themselves unduly?
21842Besides, what''d I want with a silly old scrap of paper, tell me?"
21842Brush?"
21842Brush?"
21842Brush?"
21842But what''s that the boys are saying?"
21842CHAPTER VIII SIGNS OF TROUBLE AHEAD"Was it about Dock?"
21842CHAPTER XXIII INTO THE BIG BOG"Is it worth our while to bother with that crowd, Tom?"
21842Carl, and you too Tom; what''s up?"
21842Culpepper?"
21842Do n''t we happen to know that Tony Pollock and his crowd are around here on Big Bear Mountain somewhere?
21842Do those same rules say''procrastination is the thief of time?''"
21842Do we have to start in fishing that early, or else go hungry?"
21842Do you think you could duplicate the receipt, Carl?"
21842Felix,"objected the boy mentioned,"you''re stretching things pretty wide, are n''t you?
21842Get that, fellows?"
21842Had n''t we better try it alone?"
21842Have n''t we hunted high and low for that paper, and wondered where under the sun it could have gone?
21842Horace, are you going to see this grand scheme fall through for lack of just a single name?
21842How do we know but that a glorious chance may come up and that you can win out yet?
21842How do we know but that this raid on our stuff was made just to force us to give up our hike?"
21842How do you happen to know then it was a paper, Dock?"
21842How many are going along on the hike?"
21842How would we feel about it, knowing that we had had the chance given to us to stretch out a helping hand them, and had failed?"
21842I wonder what''s happened now?"
21842Is it the State Militia dropped down on us?
21842Is n''t that hard luck though, Tom?"
21842Is n''t that so, boys?"
21842Is n''t there a way?"
21842Is there a war on?"
21842It''s not a particularly lovely home for any fellow, is it?
21842May I, sir?"
21842Now what you drivin''at anyhow?
21842Now, what makes you look so glum, Josh?"
21842Of course you can show my name at the bottom of a receipt if that is the fact?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Raidin''the farms up this way, are you?
21842That makes seven does n''t it?
21842Then he ended with an air of assumed dignity,"Horace, your country calls you; will it call in vain?"
21842Then would you advise me to try the plan I spoke of?"
21842Want to make me out a thief, do you?
21842What could Mr. Culpepper have to do with the vanishing of that paper?"
21842What do you think of the title, Tom?"
21842What for?
21842What if I did run across the chance to make Dock own up, and got him to give me that precious paper?
21842What if I do take orders; want to leave one with me for a commission, hey?"
21842What must I do if they take a notion to come back and threaten to eat me up?"
21842Which is it going to be?"
21842Why do you ask, Tom?"
21842Why pick me out above every one else for that?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Would it be wrong in me?
21842Would they ever forget that supper?
21842am I?"
21842anything like compounding a felony?"
21842asked Rob;"without getting stuck in the mud ourselves?"
21842do you mean even to signing Mr. Culpepper''s name at the end?"
21842exclaimed Felix"Can it be a muskrat, Tom, do you think, swimming on top of the water?"
21842he cried, when his voice could be heard,"did n''t that sound right from where that magnificent big oak tree stood that I wanted to get under?"
21842is that so, Felix?"
21842listen to that, will you?"
21842questioned Tom;"and agree to hand it over to him just as soon as the stock of the oil well company can be sold, after your mother gets it again?"
21842sneered the man;"but tell me, who''s a- goin''to vouch for you, now?"
21842what d''ye mean by trespassin''on my ground?
21842what''s gone wrong now, Carl?"
22566A what?
22566And the Cowardly Lion?
22566And were you?
22566And when you make a sign she will bring you to her in the Land of Oz?
22566And-- and-- do you eat people?
22566And-- pardon me for the foolish question-- but, are you all invisible?
22566Are the bears invis''ble, too?
22566Are these bears here?
22566Are they real?
22566Are we only half way up?
22566Are you hungry?
22566Are you sure?
22566Are you sure?
22566Are you surprised that you are unable to see the people of Voe?
22566As dead as poss''ble would be pretty dead, would n''t it?
22566But Jim knows his business all right-- don''t you, Jim?
22566But did n''t you cut it almost too short?
22566But how can you get down?
22566But how would it help us to be able to fly?
22566But tell me,said Dorothy,"how did such a brave Champion happen to let the bears eat him?
22566But what am I going to eat?
22566But where are the people?
22566But why destroy my friends?
22566But why did n''t you tell us at first?
22566But why fight at all, in that case?
22566But wo n''t they be veg''table, like everything else here?
22566But_ is_ there any other place?
22566Ca n''t you mend them?
22566Ca n''t you see us?
22566Can he fight?
22566Can your horse talk?
22566Canary- birds?
22566Could n''t you manage to hold me in your arms?
22566Could we fly with them?
22566Did he? 22566 Did n''t you feel the ground shake?"
22566Did the glass houses in your city grow, too?
22566Did you ever see such little pigs before?
22566Did you not wear green whiskers at one time?
22566Did you see that, Dorothy?
22566Do I like fish? 22566 Do I?
22566Do all your people grow on bushes?
22566Do you eat?
22566Do you happen to know whatever became of the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow?
22566Do you mean my kitten must be put in a grave?
22566Do you mean that I''m a freak?
22566Do you mean that Princess Ozma will see this cave in her enchanted picture, and see all of us here, and what we are doing?
22566Do you see that big rock standing on the hillside yonder?
22566Do you take me for a salamander?
22566Do you take me for a tom- cat? 22566 Do you take me for a weasel?
22566Does it hurt to be invis''ble?
22566Does the air bear up your weight?
22566Does the dama- fruit grow on a low bush, and look something like a peach?
22566For the second time?
22566Have you a factory in this place?
22566Have you come to take me to Hugson''s Ranch?
22566Have you ever died yet?
22566How about the birds and beasts and fishes?
22566How are your brains?
22566How big is this hole?
22566How can we do that?
22566How can we go away?
22566How did they happen to be so little?
22566How did you happen to be shod with gold?
22566How does it taste?
22566How is Uncle Henry?
22566How long did you rule the Emerald City, after I left here?
22566How long do you live, after you are picked?
22566How long will it take you to stop my breath?
22566How long will you be with us?
22566How old are you?
22566How old is your mother?
22566How?
22566How_ can_ we''scape?
22566I live on the fat of the land-- don''t I, Ozma?
22566If it makes you invis''ble, why do you eat it?
22566If that is so,said the boy,"how could he do that wonderful trick with the nine tiny piglets?"
22566In what way?
22566Is Billina a girl?
22566Is Mr. Hugson your uncle?
22566Is it possible that you are a Real Horse?
22566Is n''t it fine?
22566Is n''t it funny?
22566Is n''t she ripe now?
22566Is n''t that a great deal?
22566Is not the Real Horse a beautiful animal?
22566Is that the way to treat my friends?
22566Is this a fairy country?
22566May I eat one of them?
22566May we examine some of these articles?
22566My thoughts are always----"Is this a trial of thoughts, or of kittens?
22566Neither stones nor people?
22566Nine times?
22566No?
22566Oats? 22566 Of course; ca n''t you see?"
22566Of course; how else could I see it? 22566 Oh; are you hungry?"
22566Sir,said he,"why are you here, in the Land of the Mangaboos?"
22566Suppose the stairs get steeper?
22566Tell me, Eureka,said the Princess, gently:"did you eat my pretty piglet?"
22566Tell us, dear, what do the creatures look like?
22566That would be unlucky, would n''t it?
22566Then why not race with the Sawhorse?
22566Train in?
22566Was Ozma once a boy?
22566Was not the door closed?
22566Well, what then?
22566Well,said another piglet,"you are a wizard, are you not?"
22566Were you ever before shut up in a cave, far under the earth, with no way of getting out?
22566What are Gargoyles?
22566What are those holes up there?
22566What are you going to do with us?
22566What are your products?
22566What brought you back?
22566What curious animal is that which is eating the grass on my lawn?
22566What do you do?
22566What do you mean by that?
22566What do you want?
22566What does all this mean, anyhow?
22566What does that mean?
22566What for?
22566What good is it?
22566What harm can the Gurgles do?
22566What in the world is this?
22566What is he good for?
22566What is your name?
22566What made them fly away?
22566What shall we do now?
22566What shall we do now?
22566What sort of a place is this?
22566What was that?
22566What were you when you were first alive?
22566What will happen if she is guilty?
22566What would you do?
22566What''s that?
22566What''s the matter with you, old man?
22566What''s the use?
22566What''s to become of me?
22566What''s wrong?
22566What, the hinges?
22566Where are they?
22566Where are they?
22566Where are you?
22566Where did you come from?
22566Where did you grow?
22566Where do you come from, then?
22566Where does it lead to?
22566Where in the world have you been, my lad?
22566Where is Dorothy?
22566Where is she?
22566Where is she?
22566Where is that Magic Belt?
22566Where is the House of the Sorcerer?
22566Where is your mother?
22566Where shall we stay?
22566Where''s my milk?
22566Where? 22566 Wherever have you been, Eureka?"
22566Which wings must I flop first?
22566Who accuses me?
22566Who are they?
22566Who built these lovely bridges?
22566Who did you say it was?
22566Who is Ozma?
22566Who is this?
22566Who said so?
22566Who will be the jury?
22566Why did you leave the surface of the earth?
22566Why did you wickedly and viciously send the Rain of Stones to crack and break our houses?
22566Why do n''t you walk down?
22566Why do you not eat the damas?
22566Why do you want me?
22566Why have you dared to intrude your unwelcome persons into the secluded Land of the Mangaboos?
22566Why not let them live?
22566Why not?
22566Why should n''t I?
22566Why, where''s Eureka?
22566Will it hurt?
22566Will there be any more Rains?
22566Would such a gentle animal be guilty of eating a fellow creature? 22566 Your Highness,"cried the Woggle- Bug, appealing to Ozma,"have I a mind''s eye, or have n''t I?"
22566Am I talking?
22566And if he was invis''ble, and the bears invis''ble, who knows that they really ate him up?"
22566Are you guilty, or not guilty?"
22566Are you not vegetable, also?"
22566Are you ready?"
22566But I did n''t see them go; did you?"
22566But it''s a big hollow, is n''t it?"
22566Can you match that pedigree, little girl?"
22566Can you remember any breakfast that I''ve had today?"
22566Can you talk?"
22566Could n''t you, Zeb?"
22566Do n''t you remember how the Champion escaped them by shouting his battle- cry?"
22566Do n''t you see their terrible eyes?"
22566Do you ever make mistakes?"
22566Do you like fish?"
22566Eh?
22566Have n''t you heard of him?"
22566Have you breakfasted, Sir Horse?"
22566Have you them here with you?"
22566He has won the race, and won it fairly; but what can a horse of flesh do against a tireless beast of wood?"
22566I can see her, in my mind''s eye----""What''s that?"
22566I mean, will you be good to us, or do you intend to eat us?"
22566Is n''t it funny?"
22566Is not a Wizard something like a Sorcerer?"
22566Is there nothing that is decent to eat in this palace?"
22566Jump out and fight?"
22566Now was the Wizard''s turn, so he smiled upon the assemblage and asked:"Will somebody kindly loan me a hat?"
22566On the roof?"
22566Otherwise--""What will happen otherwise?"
22566Please, Mr. Wizard, may I eat just one of the fat little piglets?
22566Presently she asked:"Why did your mother tie your tails?"
22566So what could I do but tell"what happened to the Wizard afterward"?
22566That''s_ real_ magic, Mr. Wizard; is n''t it?
22566The trembling servants sent for the Royal Steward, who came in haste and said:"What would your Highness like for dinner?"
22566Then Jim exclaimed:"For goodness sake, what sort of a being are you?"
22566Then Jim suddenly asked:"Are there any horses in Oz?"
22566Then he asked:"What is an earthquake?"
22566Then the Princess spoke in a stern voice:"Prisoner, what have you to say for yourself?
22566Then, after a moment''s thought, she asked:"Are we friends or enemies?
22566This is a nice scrape you''ve got me into, is n''t it?"
22566Were you ever with a circus, brother?"
22566What do you call it?"
22566What else can you do?"
22566What is your sorcery good for if it can not tell us the truth?"
22566What''s going to become of us now?"
22566Where did you find my missing pet, Nick Chopper?"
22566Why are you so bad?"
22566Why destroy me?"
22566Will you buy it, my dear?"
22566Will you kindly tell us which way your mother went to get on top the earth?"
22566Will your Sorcerer die?"
22566Wizard?"
22566Wizard?"
22566Would you like it again?"
22566You''ve been to Australia, have n''t you?"
22566[ Illustration:"ARE THERE REALLY PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM?"]
22566[ Illustration:"FOR GOODNESS SAKE, WHAT SORT OF A BEING ARE YOU?"]
22566and what can I do but obey their commands?
22566are_ you_ here again?"
22566cried Dorothy,"did you eat the bones?"
22566he said, seeing her,"are you Dorothy Gale?"
22566said the Wizard,"will somebody please loan me a handkerchief?"
22566said the Wizard;"are there really people in this room?"
420A what?
420And the Cowardly Lion?
420And were you?
420And when you make a sign she will bring you to her in the Land of Oz?
420And-- and-- do you eat people?
420And-- pardon me for the foolish question-- but, are you all invisible?
420Are the bears invis''ble, too?
420Are these bears here?
420Are they real?
420Are we only half way up?
420Are you hungry?
420Are you sure?
420Are you sure?
420Are you surprised that you are unable to see the people of Voe?
420As dead as poss''ble would be pretty dead, would n''t it?
420But IS there any other place?
420But Jim knows his business all right-- don''t you, Jim?
420But did n''t you cut it almost too short?
420But how can you get down?
420But how would it help us to be able to fly?
420But tell me,said Dorothy,"how did such a brave Champion happen to let the bears eat him?
420But what am I going to eat?
420But where are the people?
420But why destroy my friends?
420But why did n''t you tell us at first?
420But why fight at all, in that case?
420But wo n''t they be veg''table, like everything else here?
420Ca n''t you mend them?
420Ca n''t you see us?
420Can he fight?
420Can your horse talk?
420Canary- birds?
420Could n''t you manage to hold me in your arms?
420Could we fly with them?
420Did he? 420 Did n''t you feel the ground shake?"
420Did the glass houses in your city grow, too?
420Did you ever see such little pigs before?
420Did you not wear green whiskers at one time?
420Did you see that, Dorothy?
420Do I like fish? 420 Do I?
420Do all your people grow on bushes?
420Do not all people grow upon bushes where you came from, on the outside of the earth?
420Do you eat?
420Do you happen to know whatever became of the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow?
420Do you mean my kitten must be put in a grave?
420Do you mean that I''m a freak?
420Do you mean that Princess Ozma will see this cave in her enchanted picture, and see all of us here, and what we are doing?
420Do you see that big rock standing on the hillside yonder?
420Do you take me for a salamander?
420Do you take me for a tom- cat? 420 Do you take me for a weasel?
420Does it hurt to be invis''ble?
420Does the air bear up your weight?
420Does the dama- fruit grow on a low bush, and look something like a peach?
420For the second time?
420Have you a factory in this place?
420Have you come to take me to Hugson''s Ranch?
420Have you ever died yet?
420How CAN we''scape?
420How about the birds and beasts and fishes?
420How are your brains?
420How big is this hole?
420How can we do that?
420How can we go away?
420How did they happen to be so little?
420How did you happen to be shod with gold?
420How does it taste?
420How is Uncle Henry?
420How long did you rule the Emerald City, after I left here?
420How long do you live, after you are picked?
420How long will it take you to stop my breath?
420How long will you be with us?
420How old are you?
420How old is your mother?
420How?
420I live on the fat of the land-- don''t I, Ozma?
420If it makes you invis''ble, why do you eat it?
420If that is so,said the boy,"how could he do that wonderful trick with the nine tiny piglets?"
420In what way?
420Is Billina a girl?
420Is Mr. Hugson your uncle?
420Is it possible that you are a Real Horse?
420Is n''t it fine?
420Is n''t it funny?
420Is n''t she ripe now?
420Is n''t that a great deal?
420Is not the Real Horse a beautiful animal?
420Is that the way to treat my friends?
420Is this a fairy country?
420May I eat one of them?
420May we examine some of these articles?
420My thoughts are always--"Is this a trial of thoughts, or of kittens?
420Neither stones nor people?
420Nine times?
420No?
420Oats? 420 Of course; ca n''t you see?"
420Of course; how else could I see it? 420 Oh; are you hungry?"
420Sir,said he,"why are you here, in the Land of the Mangaboos?"
420Suppose the stairs get steeper?
420Tell me, Eureka,said the Princess, gently:"did you eat my pretty piglet?"
420Tell us, dear, what do the creatures look like?
420That would be unlucky, would n''t it?
420Then why not race with the Sawhorse?
420Train in?
420Was Ozma once a boy?
420Was not the door closed?
420Well, what then?
420Well,said another piglet,"you are a wizard, are you not?"
420Were you ever before shut up in a cave, far under the earth, with no way of getting out?
420What are Gargoyles?
420What are those holes up there?
420What are you going to do with us?
420What are your products?
420What brought you back?
420What curious animal is that which is eating the grass on my lawn?
420What do you do?
420What do you mean by that?
420What do you want?
420What does all this mean, anyhow?
420What does that mean?
420What for?
420What good is it?
420What harm can the Gurgles do?
420What in the world is this?
420What is he good for?
420What is your name?
420What made them fly away?
420What shall we do now?
420What shall we do now?
420What sort of place is this?
420What was that?
420What were you when you were first alive?
420What will happen if she is guilty?
420What would you do?
420What''s that?
420What''s the matter with you, old man?
420What''s the use?
420What''s to become of me?
420What''s wrong?
420What, the hinges?
420Where are they?
420Where are they?
420Where are you?
420Where did you come from?
420Where did you grow?
420Where do you come from, then?
420Where does it lead to?
420Where in the world have you been, my lad?
420Where is Dorothy?
420Where is she?
420Where is she?
420Where is that Magic Belt?
420Where is the House of the Sorcerer?
420Where is your mother?
420Where shall we stay?
420Where''s my milk?
420Where? 420 Wherever have you been, Eureka?"
420Which wings must I flop first?
420Who accuses me?
420Who are they?
420Who built these lovely bridges?
420Who did you say it was?
420Who is Ozma?
420Who is this?
420Who said so?
420Who will be the jury?
420Why did you leave the surface of the earth?
420Why did you wickedly and viciously send the Rain of Stones to crack and break our houses?
420Why do n''t you walk down?
420Why do you not eat the damas?
420Why do you want me?
420Why have you dared to intrude your unwelcome persons into the secluded Land of the Mangaboos?
420Why not let them live?
420Why not?
420Why should n''t I?
420Why, where''s Eureka?
420Will it hurt?
420Will there be any more Rains?
420Will you try it, Zeb?
420Would such a gentle animal be guilty of eating a fellow creature? 420 Your Highness,"cried the Woggle- Bug, appealing to Ozma,"have I a mind''s eye, or have n''t I?"
420Am I talking?
420And if he was invis''ble, and the bears invis''ble, who knows that they really ate him up?"
420Are you guilty, or not guilty?"
420Are you not vegetable, also?"
420Are you ready?"
420But I did n''t see them go; did you?"
420But it''s a big hollow, is n''t it?"
420Can you match that pedigree, little girl?"
420Can you remember any breakfast that I''ve had today?"
420Can you talk?"
420Could n''t you, Zeb?"
420Do n''t you remember how the Champion escaped them by shouting his battle- cry?"
420Do n''t you see their terrible eyes?"
420Do you ever make mistakes?"
420Do you like fish?"
420Eh?
420Have n''t you heard of him?"
420Have you breakfasted, Sir Horse?"
420Have you them here with you?"
420He has won the race, and won it fairly; but what can a horse of flesh do against a tireless beast of wood?"
420I can see her, in my mind''s eye--""What''s that?"
420I mean, will you be good to us, or do you intend to eat us?"
420Is n''t it funny?"
420Is not a Wizard something like a Sorcerer?"
420Is there nothing that is decent to eat in this palace?"
420Jump out and fight?"
420Now was the Wizard''s turn, so he smiled upon the assemblage and asked:"Will somebody kindly loan me a hat?"
420On the roof?"
420Otherwise--""What will happen otherwise?"
420Please, Mr. Wizard, may I eat just one of the fat little piglets?
420Presently she asked:"Why did your mother tie your tails?"
420So what could I do but tell"what happened to the Wizard afterward"?
420That''s REAL magic, Mr. Wizard; is n''t it?
420The trembling servants sent for the Royal Steward, who came in haste and said:"What would your Highness like for dinner?"
420Then Jim exclaimed:"For goodness sake, what sort of a being are you?"
420Then Jim suddenly asked:"Are there any horses in Oz?"
420Then he asked:"What is an earthquake?"
420Then the Princess spoke in a stern voice:"Prisoner, what have you to say for yourself?
420Then, after a moment''s thought, she asked:"Are we friends or enemies?
420This is a nice scrape you''ve got me into, is n''t it?"
420Were you ever with a circus, brother?"
420What do you call it?"
420What else can you do?"
420What is your sorcery good for if it can not tell us the truth?"
420What''s going to become of us now?"
420Where did you find my missing pet, Nick Chopper?"
420Why are you so bad?"
420Why destroy me?"
420Will you buy it, my dear?"
420Will you kindly tell us which way your mother went to get on top the earth?"
420Will your Sorcerer die?"
420Wizard?"
420Wizard?"
420Would you like it again?"
420You''ve been to Australia, have n''t you?"
420and what can I do but obey their commands?
420are YOU here again?"
420cried Dorothy,"did you eat the bones?"
420he said, seeing her,"are you Dorothy Gale?"
420said the Wizard,"will somebody please loan me a handkerchief?"
420said the Wizard;"are there really people in this room?"
44445Ai nt you glad I fixed''em off so?
44445And could that be a jewel by the way which we might carry to our Father in heaven, mamma?
44445And did He like me a little''cause I did it?
44445And did Ted ever get drunk again?
44445And it''s a great deal jolly funnier than if you caught them and shut them up in a cage, is it not?
44445And must these poor children just be left to go to ruin?
44445And never got ate up?
44445And now would you like a drink after your walk?
44445And what did Owen say about his jug?
44445And what else?
44445And what was you doin''to keep you down to Porter''s so long?
44445And when we say''Our Father,''what do we say about forgiveness?
44445And who said that, Frankie?
44445And you would n''t like to be sick at all, would you, John?
44445And your sisters, too,said Ernest,"would they not like to try what they could do?"
44445Are not Harry and Fred home- made boys, Maggie?
44445Are you going back with me?
44445Are you not ready to go?
44445Are you the fellow they tell about that''s hunted lions and tigers and wild beasts?
44445Aunt May,said Maggie,"do you think Jesus_ could_ love children like Lem and Dolly?"
44445Bessie,said Maggie, as they sat contentedly eating it,"do you not think foreigner boys are a great deal nicer than home- made boys?"
44445Bessie,said Maggie, in a whisper,"John Porter might do it, might n''t he?
44445Bessie,she said, a little later,"do n''t you think this place is nicer than Quam Beach?"
44445Bessie,whispered Maggie, as they went in,"does it make you feel a little as if you was homesick for our geranium and heliotrope?"
44445Bob, Bessie has seventeen berries; how many more will it take to make a thousand?
44445But do n''t you think it_ nicer_ than Quam, Bessie?
44445But how came you into the Ice Glen; did n''t you know better?
44445But how could he promise when he ca n''t speak?
44445But how did the two men happen to fall from the sledge so nearly in the same place?
44445But how did you do it, Bob?
44445But where is your banana?
44445Can I speak to Him?
44445Can I, though?
44445Can nothing be done for them?
44445Can you count them?
44445Can you hold the boy, Horace?
44445Can you say a pretty verse for me, Frankie?
44445Could n''t no way,replied Lem, sitting upright;"they say only good folks get to heaven, and do n''t you know they say I''m the worst boy here about?
44445Could you let us help you a little?
44445Could you?
44445Did Dolly and her brother come to get the nice meal kind Mrs. Porter promised them?
44445Did Jesus say I was naughty when I wode on the well?
44445Did you come by our Sunday bower?
44445Did you fall down?
44445Did you give me them goodies''cause you loved me?
44445Did you not know mamma did not want you to climb on the well?
44445Did you?
44445Did you?
44445Do n''t see what?
44445Do n''t you like them?
44445Do n''t you think I am?
44445Do n''t you think you can forgive them, Maggie?
44445Do n''t you, now?
44445Do you have trundle beds?
44445Do you make butter here?
44445Do you remember what I was reading to you the other night?
44445Do you think he is to be trusted, Ruthven?
44445Do you want any thing, Dolly?
44445Does it mean the canary is for Bessie and me?
44445Does something hurt you?
44445Does the father ill- treat them?
44445Dolly,said Bessie,"will you believe now that we are sorry for you, and want to be kind to you?"
44445Dolly,said Mrs. Bradford, gently,"where did you get this handkerchief?"
44445For what, Aunt Bessie?
44445Fred is a nice home- made boy; is he not?
44445Good Lem,she cried, when she saw the flower- pots; and then, turning to Mrs Porter, she asked,"Could you let them stay here?"
44445Guess my home''s a sight more comfortable than these rocks, ai nt it?
44445Harry and Fred want to come,said Bessie,"do you think you could let them, Aunt May?
44445Have I enough to make a pot of jam?
44445Have you found a place where you can have your Sunday- school class?
44445Have you hurt yourself, Dolly?
44445Help me?
44445How did you tame them so when they were not in a cage?
44445How do they know it?
44445How do you know I did n''t?
44445How do you know he loves me?
44445I dare say Mr. Porter would give us each a little piece of ground,he said,"but then it is too late to plant things, is it not?"
44445I do say so,replied Mr. Bradford;"but what are we to do for to- night?"
44445I guess you do not know what hard work churning is, do you?
44445I guess, if I''d had a mother, she''d kiss me, like that,--don''t you?
44445I may try, mamma, may I not?
44445I''m trying to think it is,said Maggie;"but they do scratch awfully, do n''t they?
44445Is Doll going to die?
44445Is he sorry wis me now? 44445 Is it''most a thousand, Maggie?"
44445Is not that a picture?
44445Is that place the song talks about that heaven you was telling about?
44445Is there no one in the village who would do it for that?
44445Is there no one we could find to do it if they were well paid?
44445It will indeed, my darling; and what does my Maggie say?
44445John, if there was a chance to do as you would be done by, and you did not think of it, would you like some one to tell you of it?
44445John,said Bessie,"are you not very fond of doing as you would be done by?"
44445Lem,said Dolly to him one day,"why do n''t you be glad I''m going to Jesus?
44445Maggie,said Bessie, presently,"wo n''t it be dreadful if papa ca n''t get any one to take care of poor sick Dolly to- night?"
44445Maggie,she said,"I wonder if we ought not to put it into papa''s or Uncle Ruthven''s mind?"
44445Mamma, bettn''t I walk a little too, on''count of the poor horses?
44445Miss Bessie, my dear, wo n''t you come?
44445Mr. Porter,he said,"can you tell me where I can find some one who will go and nurse that poor girl?
44445Mrs. Porter,she whispered, pulling the old lady''s head down towards her,"may I ask you a secret?"
44445My darlings,said Mrs. Bradford that night, when she had gone upstairs with the children,"what are you going to do now?"
44445Now are you not ashamed to be speaking to the little lady after what you''ve done?
44445Now, what do you s''pose he''s goin''to do for me?
44445Of my brother?
44445Shall I kiss you, Dolly?
44445Shall we bring it to her, papa?
44445She''s awful sick, ai nt she?
44445So, you''re there, are you?
44445Somethin''fustrate?
44445That was a fustrate job I did for him-- getting the lady up; now, warn''t it? 44445 Then I s''pose you feel very thankful for it, and as if you''d like to help make sick people as well as you are; do n''t you?"
44445Then how did you hurt yourself so much?
44445Then you must take care of them for her, while she is sick; wo n''t you?
44445Then you speak to Him for me, will you? 44445 They did not harm you, mamma, did they?"
44445They''re coming on nice, ai nt they?
44445Think I could get a sight of my gentleman, to- day?
44445To whom?
44445Trundle beds? 44445 We know what he means, do n''t we, dear Aunt Bessie?
44445We will try to be like him, will we not, Bessie?
44445We''ll think a good deal about you, and sing all your hymns, shall we?
44445Well, what is it?
44445Well, what was the end of it?
44445Well, yes,answered Mrs. Porter, looking around with an air of some pride and satisfaction,"do n''t it suit you?"
44445Well,said Uncle Ruthven to papa,"have you had any success?"
44445What ails you, little doggie? 44445 What are you going to do with that, pet?"
44445What are you thinking of, Bessie?
44445What could such a mite as Bessie do with a garden of her own? 44445 What cup?
44445What did he do it for? 44445 What difference does that make?"
44445What does foreigner mean?
44445What for? 44445 What have you there, Lem?"
44445What is it she wants?
44445What is it you want, Dolly?
44445What is it, Sunbeams?
44445What is it, darling?
44445What is it, dear?
44445What is it, my child?
44445What makes you think John Porter ought to go and take care of her?
44445What prayers, Maggie?
44445What shall we tell Him?
44445What story?
44445What was it?
44445What was that nice verse I heard mamma teaching you this morning, Frankie?
44445What wickedness are you up to now, I''d like to know?
44445What work does it do?
44445What you been a doin''to her?
44445What''s come over you, now?
44445What''s them?
44445Where are our marigolds?
44445Who are they?
44445Who is Todd, papa?
44445Who is going to take care of us?
44445Who would like to go and play in the woods?
44445Whose duty is it, then?
44445Why Fanny,she said,"where''s Bessie''s cup?
44445Why do n''t God send us help?
44445Why, dear, do you think I would be so ungrateful of this very nice place, and the kind people that are here as not to be contented? 44445 Why, where can it be?
44445Why, you''re not offended with me, are you?
44445Will he come back?
44445Will you come next Sunday?
44445Will you not walk in with the other ladies and gentlemen?
44445Willie,said Maggie,"do you enjoy being_ disblinded_ just as much as you did at first?"
44445Would He rather I''d give the handkercher back to Miss Mapes?
44445Would you like to speak to my little girls, Dolly?
44445Would you?
44445Yes,laughed Fred,"and she could not stand still with nothing to do; could you, Midget Fidget?"
44445Yes,said Dolly; and then asked,"Could you give me a nice bit of white paper and a scissor?"
44445Yet who knows what even she might do?
44445You ai nt goin''to say you slept in the Ice Glen?
44445You do n''t think I am going to strike you?
44445You do want to go there; do n''t you, Dolly?
44445You see I have brought you a large family, Mrs. Porter,said Mrs. Bradford,"but you have room for all, I believe?"
44445You wo n''t say Lem took it, will you?
44445And besides, Dolly, if Jesus came to die for you, so you could go to heaven, do n''t you think he must love you?
44445And how did you make up your resolution, Maggie?"
44445Are they friends or foes?
44445Are you goin''or not?"
44445Are you going to stay awake all night, and think about Uncle Ruthven?"
44445Be off with you, will you?"
44445Bessie looked at her for a moment, and then, as if she understood, said,--"Shall I say it, Aunt May?"
44445But after she was in bed and mamma had gone, she suddenly popped up her head and said,--"Bessie, what do you think?
44445But we must ask Him from our hearts; and can we do so if those hearts are full of unkindness and hard feeling towards those who have injured us?
44445But, I say, do n''t you never sing but on Sundays?"
44445By and by Bessie gave a little sigh and said,--"Maggie, do you think it is so very nice?"
44445Can we go, can we?
44445Can you go home?"
44445Can you guess what it may be?"
44445Can you tell me what kind of looking boy and girl they were?"
44445Could Mr. Stanton hold on, could that cruel gravel bear them both, till that should be?
44445Could Ruthven hold on till then?
44445Did the rain do that, papa?"
44445Did you think you heard some one who had no right to be here?"
44445Do n''t you feel a bit angry with them, Bessie?"
44445Do n''t you see the card on the cage, and what is written on it?"
44445Do n''t you think it would be doing as you would be done by to go and take care of her to- night?"
44445Do n''t you think that was help, Lem; and was n''t He good to let it come to me?"
44445Do you know where you can buy some straw?"
44445Do you think if_ he_ spoke a word for her, Porters would let her stay round their place?
44445He knew it was Lem, but what could he do?
44445How did you get them so quickly?"
44445How did you hurt yourself?"
44445How many have you, Bessie?"
44445How''s she goin''to get to heaven?"
44445I do not think either you or Dolly will trouble our little girls again; will you?"
44445I s''pose you could n''t tell a feller now?"
44445I say, what did you hit that donkey for?"
44445I say,"she added, in a louder tone,"I want to speak to the little gals''pa.""Well?"
44445If she thought it right for John Porter to go, ought she not to think it right for her papa or uncle?
44445If you ever had the chance to do a little bit of kindness for them, Maggie, would you not do it?"
44445Is n''t he kind and good, Bessie?
44445It''s quite safe: would you like it, Miss Bessie?"
44445Jesus is God, ai nt he?"
44445John called out, mischievously;"if you feel so bad about Dolly, why do n''t you ask your father or uncle to go up and see after her?"
44445John,"she said, in a louder tone,"you are very glad you are well and strong; are you not?"
44445Lem has had more thrashings than any boy of his size that ever lived, I believe, but what''s the use?
44445Lem, did you cheat''em, and break out?"
44445Midget and Queen Bess, how came these old things here?"
44445Mr. Bradford did not insist, though he meant she should obey him, but said, kindly,--"Are you still hungry?
44445Now, what shall I do about it?"
44445Once, when they paused, she beckoned to Bessie, and said,"Do you sometimes speak to Him?"
44445Or to one of snow; ay, to roof, walls, floor, all of snow,--making a warm, comfortable home too?"
44445Porter?"
44445Richards?"
44445Rush tell about Jesus and how he loved you?"
44445S''pose you could n''t sing me a tune''fore you go, could you?
44445S''pose you do n''t know another, do you?"
44445See, here, what do you think of this for a Sunday- school room?"
44445Shall we ask Him to make you fit for heaven?"
44445Shall we ask papa about it?"
44445Shall we try to put it there, Maggie?"
44445Should she give Dolly her own or not?
44445Should you like to hear some of my adventures some time?"
44445Some other day, perhaps; but now we only stopped to ask how you are coming on?
44445Suppose you had at this moment a chance to do a kind thing, or speak a kind word to Lem and Dolly,--would either of you do it?"
44445There was no rope, nothing to hold him or his sister; and if there had been, who was there to support and guide it?
44445They stood in silence, watching the half- famished creature as she eat her fruit, then Bessie said,--"Dolly, why do n''t you go home?"
44445They were all silent for a little time, then Lem suddenly said,--"Mister, when folks goes to be angels they mostly dies, do n''t they?"
44445Was n''t you awful mad about it?"
44445Well, will you believe it?
44445What answer did Jesus make?"
44445What shall I do?"
44445What should you say to a roof made of a single leaf, large enough to shelter twelve men from a scorching sun?
44445What would you like him to do for you?"
44445When a person does a very kind thing for you, do n''t that make you think they love you?"
44445Where was you last night?"
44445Where''s t''other one?"
44445Who did you give it to?"
44445Who would have thought such little things could do a bit of good to those two?"
44445Why, last year dear little Katy took a prize and for what do you think?
44445Will you be glad of that, Lem?"
44445Will you come, miss, and just leave that girl to herself?"
44445Will you love Him, Dolly; will you be a good girl, and try to please Him?"
44445Will you not try to do this, Lem?"
44445Will you promise not to steal any more, Lem?"
44445Would n''t they be of any use?"
44445Would n''t you let me be a little kind to you?"
44445Would n''t you like to go there, Dolly?"
44445Would n''t you like to hear about it?"
44445Would you like some roasted corn?"
44445Would you not enjoy them up in the woods?"
44445Yes, he had her fast, holding back the precious life; but for how long?
44445You would not like to touch them or sit down by them, would you?"
44445_ THE BANANAS._"MADDIE,"said Frankie, running up to his sister the next morning with a pair of worsted reins in his hands,"will oo fis my weins?"
44445and what was to be done next?
44445and why have you brought them here?"
44445asked Mrs. Bradford;"can not we do it for you?"
44445cried Bessie;"who is he for?"
44445do you want to say you know all about it?
44445exclaimed Maggie;"where_ did_ you see her?"
44445my little girl, if we were all served right, and had nothing but what we deserve, where would we be?"
44445my poor Coxcomb,"said Mrs. Porter,"do n''t you think he is pretty?"
44445no,"said Maggie;"they''ve sense enough to think it out for themselves if they ought to go: but I do n''t think John Porter is very sensible; do you?"
44445said Bessie,"do you shut the poor little squirrels up in a cage?"
44445said Fred;"where did you find out so much?"
44445said Maggie,"why, did n''t you wait to eat it with the rest of us?
44445said Mr. Porter, who had just come up behind them and heard what Bessie had said last,"so you do not like the mountains as well as the sea?
44445she said;"do n''t they look pretty?"
44445that''s it, is it?"
44445what ails the fellows?"
44445what is it Harry?
44445what''s the use?
44445why do n''t help come to us?"
44445you''re tired, are you?"
40177Ai n''t it grand to sleep in a----?
40177And will that make him all the way well?
40177And will you and your brother just come every day and take care of us?
40177And you? 40177 Are n''t men strange creatures?"
40177Are n''t you going to write to some of your father''s family, Gwen?
40177Bad dreams?
40177Boarders, eh, and what do you know about keeping boarders?
40177Bobby, you say? 40177 But do n''t people always charge when they have n''t got any money?
40177But why do n''t you open the pocketbook?
40177But will you be contented, child, just to stay on in the mountains for the rest of your life?
40177But would n''t it be better to get a lawyer to take the matter up and have the thing legally adjusted?
40177But would you venture there again?
40177But, Helen, keep house on what?
40177Ca n''t the new doctor cure him?
40177Ca n''t we even go on a summer trip without asking his permission?
40177Ca n''t you anyhow as it is?
40177Ca n''t you stop crying, honey?
40177Can it be possible that I am falling in love with Helen?
40177Choclid?
40177Daddy, may I come in?
40177Did n''t you know we were nearly scared to death about you?
40177Did you ever see or hear such a laugh?
40177Did you sleep?
40177Do n''t mind playing? 40177 Do you blame any one for stealing food when he is hungry?"
40177Do you know, I did an awfully foolish thing? 40177 Do you mean that you let a perfect stranger pick up your parents and send them off on a journey without consulting a soul?"
40177Do you remember a limerick, I think Oliver Hereford''s?
40177Do you think it would be very extravagant if I spent a dime in market for flowers?
40177Do you uns want we uns to drive the critter? 40177 Do you want me to cook and clean for you?"
40177Do? 40177 Do?
40177Douglas, what do you think is the matter with her? 40177 Dr. Wright, do you think it would be possible to keep this thing perfectly quiet?
40177Eating me? 40177 Gone where?
40177Has Lewis really left West Point for good? 40177 Have you no property?"
40177How about cold shoulders?
40177How did your mule happen to have one leg shorter than the other?
40177How much do you think we should ask for our house?
40177I''d like to get up out of this bed and go horse- whip him----"Please, can I do it for you?
40177Is Douglas your son?
40177Is Miss Carter of age?
40177Is Mother to make them?
40177Is n''t Gwen a wonder?
40177Is n''t power of attorney jurisdiction?
40177Is n''t that splendid and was n''t it kind of Dr. Wright to send it to you?
40177Is that Josephus?
40177Is that the way you are going to express yourself in your B.   M. exams? 40177 Kin we uns do this every week?"
40177Know what? 40177 May I come in?"
40177Nan, how could you?
40177Now, Helen, do n''t you think Dr. Wright is very thoughtful? 40177 Of course he ought to know, but does he know?
40177Oh, Doctor, could n''t you see her first and tell her what it is you want? 40177 Oh, Helen, how can you even give such a horrid idea a moment''s lodgement in your mind?
40177Oh, cousin, then?
40177Oh, he did n''t bite you, then?
40177Oh, how do you do, Miss Gwen? 40177 Oh, is she all right?"
40177Oh, of course not after we get started, but how are we to get our outfits for the mountains? 40177 Oh, oh, what''ll I do?"
40177Oh, please, could you send them to me or me to them right off?
40177Oh, that''s not necessary, is it, Miss Helen?
40177Oh, where are Oscar and Susan?
40177Oh, would n''t that be fine, Douglas?
40177Oh, you expected to find me?
40177Or chilling silence?
40177Or frozen glances?
40177Or glacial reserve?
40177Or icy mitts?
40177Please, sir, would n''t you uns like Gwen to cook for you uns and wash the platters an''sich? 40177 Shipped?
40177So you thought I would sneak in and sneak out?
40177Take boarders? 40177 There now, Josh, what do I tell you all the time?
40177Tickets bought? 40177 Waiting for what?"
40177Week to be spelled W- E- A- K. What do you think of the plan, Cousin Lizzie? 40177 Well, do n''t this beat all?"
40177Well, have n''t you been punished?
40177Well, who''s interrupting now? 40177 Were you up then?"
40177What be you uns a- doin''?
40177What could be worse than death?
40177What do you make of her?
40177What does he mean by sleeping on his arms?
40177What does he want? 40177 What is it?"
40177What is it?
40177What is that in the back of the pocketbook where the other fastening is?
40177What time is your engagement?
40177What will melt frigid replies?
40177What''s that?
40177Where is Bobby, Helen?
40177Where is it?
40177Where is your father?
40177Where? 40177 Wherefore you did n''t keep keer er him yo''se''f?"
40177Whin I sint him to you, why''n you keep keer er him?
40177Who is going to pay for the silk stockings if I rest?
40177Who is it that is hungry?
40177Who is that?
40177Who on earth would board with us, here in Richmond? 40177 Who under Heaven?
40177Why do n''t you ask us whenever you want to?
40177Will I do?
40177Will he die?
40177Wo n''t you sit down?
40177Would it hurt me to walk? 40177 You are not afraid in here, are you, Susan?"
40177You mean Josh? 40177 You remember it was the woman who had the right who gave up?"
40177You uns ai n''t lowing to eat here, is you uns?
40177Your father gone off sick?
40177''What''s trumps?''
40177''Whose play is it?''
40177A rattler?"
40177Ai n''t he some driver, though?"
40177Ai n''t you an''Mr. Bill there a- planning that there buildin''after we unses''mule, with short legs up the hill an''long legs down?"
40177Am I not right, doctor?"
40177And can you repeat it to us?"
40177And how was it her fault that she was so useless?
40177And now what was this thing that had come upon him?
40177And what do you chits of girls know about it, either?
40177Any other property?"
40177Are you meaning to stay alone, all un- chaperoned, until this Yankee doctor thinks it is time to let your parents return?
40177As for this absurd talk about money-- what business was it of this young stranger to put his finger in their financial pie?
40177Besides, do you think I am going to ruin the whole effect of my grey costume with those old mustard colored leggins?
40177But what was he doing?
40177But why need they know?
40177Ca n''t you see?"
40177Can I trust you to get them ready, without bustle and confusion, by to- night?
40177Can you read and write?"
40177Can you stand the ligature a little tighter?"
40177Could n''t you do it?"
40177Could this be her Daddy?
40177Could this be the young man who, only ten minutes ago, she had described as being in a state of dejection bordering on insanity?
40177Dere ant Melisser?
40177Did he bite you?"
40177Did he leave power of attorney with any one?
40177Did he not love her best of all the sisters?
40177Did n''t you hear Nan?"
40177Did the Englishman die of T. B.?
40177Did the young gentleman mean to spank him like a baby?
40177Did the young man hold her closer to him or was it just a fancy on her part?
40177Did this young gentleman mean to beat him, and all because he had put a hornet''s nest under a silly colored girl''s bed?
40177Did you burn the sulphur candles?
40177Did you ever run a jitney?
40177Did you ever see such a goose?
40177Did you ever sleep in a tent, Grace?
40177Do n''t you consider this a rare opportunity?
40177Do n''t you fancy the boy goes to school, too?
40177Do n''t you feel good?"
40177Do n''t you find a deed of some sort among those papers?"
40177Do n''t you know something might come along and chop you right in two?"
40177Do you believe we would ever in the world get this dirt moved?"
40177Do you know how to cook?"
40177Do you know when I went to my tent I found six blankets on my cot and Susan the maid brought me two more?
40177Do you know, I''ve been crying about them, too?
40177Do you know, he handed over to Father, for money he owed him, land that did not belong to him, and this minute our camp is built on your property?"
40177Do you realize that the cash we have in bank would just about pay the chauffeur and keep us in gasoline for a month?"
40177Do you suppose I would have any one come around these ladies who are everything in the world to me if he were not a gentleman?"
40177Do you think he liked giving it to us so?
40177Do you think we could get any?"
40177Does it pain you much, child?"
40177Does n''t it seem strange that there were no papers of any sort found to show where he came from?"
40177Had she done him harm?
40177Has n''t he always been seeing us and have n''t we always taken all our troubles to him?
40177Have n''t you any money at all in your purse?
40177Have you found him?"
40177Have you looked into the matter of chickens?
40177He had told himself he was to awake at dawn, and now that he had done it, what was it all about?
40177He went up the steps again, two at a time, and said gently:"Miss Helen, would you be so kind as to see about the car for me?
40177Helen held up the wallet and said:"Did you ever see this before?"
40177His eyes were closed and his countenance composed and for a moment the girl''s heart stopped beating-- could he be dead?
40177How can you be so hard on the poor young man?
40177How could a perfect stranger understand her dear father better than she, his own daughter, did?
40177How could he be so nice to her?
40177How could he rest?
40177How could she stay still until the next day?
40177How could she think of everything?
40177How could we get along without Mother and Father and how under Heaven could they get along without us?
40177How did he happen to be the boss of this camp?
40177How did you uns know we uns put it thar under her bed?"
40177How do you think Father could get any rest with all of us tagging on?"
40177How many pairs of silk stockings does it take to run one of you?
40177How much wages does you give?"
40177How would we like it if he''d let us go on a trip and not come near to wish us_ bon voyage_?
40177How''s I to know?
40177I have neglected him, I am sure-- and what will Father and Mother say?
40177I think I would make a splendid widow-- don''t you?"
40177If he is all wrong, could n''t he make us dance, though?
40177If the first and second and third were wrong in their diagnoses, why not the fourth?
40177Illustration:"Would it hurt me to walk?
40177Is it Bobby?"
40177Is it a go?"
40177Is that where you were going when Gwen saw you so early this morning?"
40177Is there a house there?
40177Is this the camp?
40177It will be another month at least before you go, wo n''t it?"
40177Just gave you ample allowances and let you spend''em?"
40177Looks lak a view ai n''t nothin''but jes''seem''fur, an''if''n th''ain''t nothin''ter see, what''s the use in it?"
40177May I get up and help hunt?
40177Miss Lizzie Somerville had felt no uneasiness about the crowd, because was not her beloved Lewis taking care of them?
40177My, ai n''t it odd?
40177Now was n''t that too sweet of them?
40177Now, Lewis, how shall we manage?
40177Our khaki skirts and leggins and things that are appropriate?
40177Say, Skeeter, what''s the reason you ca n''t light right out and come up to camp?
40177Seems preposterous, does n''t it?
40177Shall I ask Miss Douglas to come to you?"
40177Shall I get you a cup of coffee now?"
40177She had become accustomed to the presence of the young gentlemen, but what would the girls think of her?
40177Slaughter or any of the rest of them?
40177Taking the naughty child by his dirty little hand, he said:"Say, Bob, how would you like to come out with me in my car and help me?
40177The week- enders were there, for once at least, but could these girls make it so agreeable that they would want to come back?
40177There were still some clean plates in the hamper, so why wash those yet?
40177They jes takes cyars and joy riders in them and leaves them in some Dish in the subbubs?
40177This broken, garrulous man with the gray face and tears, womanish tears, flowing shamelessly from his tired eyes?
40177This enthusiastic boy with his eyes dancing in joyful anticipation of manual labor to be plunged into?
40177WHERE IS BOBBY?
40177WHERE IS BOBBY?
40177We do n''t mind your meat sticking through, and as for being dirty-- why do n''t you wash?"
40177Were n''t there five pairs of legs demanding silk stockings( even Lucy insisted that her lean shanks be clothed in the best)?
40177Were they to succeed or not?
40177What are we to do about it?"
40177What are you going to do with me, Douglas?"
40177What can you cook?"
40177What difference does it make to me?
40177What do the fellows in his office think of this?"
40177What do you charge for the mule and driver?"
40177What do you say to it?"
40177What do you say, Bill?
40177What do you think of boarders?
40177What do you think we could do-- something to make money, I mean?
40177What do you think, Somerville?"
40177What does Mother say?"
40177What does this ugly young man know of our affairs and what money Daddy has in the bank?
40177What effect is it to have?
40177What has he done with his money, please?"
40177What is eating you?"
40177What is he going to do now?"
40177What is the matter?"
40177What is this funny looking place?
40177What must she do?
40177What must we uns do now?"
40177What on earth can be the matter with him?"
40177What was to become of her?
40177What will Mother say if Bobby is lost?"
40177What will we do when we need things?"
40177What would Dr. Wright think of her?
40177What would Father say at our giving up right now?
40177What''s that young man''s name?
40177What''s up?"
40177When can we get started?
40177When can you start?"
40177When will he return?"
40177Where can he be?"
40177Where did you find it?"
40177Where else can I go?"
40177Where was the stick or whip?
40177Where?"
40177Who has oats?
40177Who is Gwen?"
40177Who knows?
40177Who wants to play with people who play because they''do n''t mind playing''?
40177Who was this bushy- eyebrowed young Caliban who came there ordering her about?
40177Who would expect divans and Turkish rugs at a camp?
40177Why should she be so unkind and sharp with Dr. Wright?
40177Why should you not rest?
40177Why was this train chosen?
40177Why, Douglas, how on earth will we do without it?"
40177Why, please?"
40177Will the cabin be comfortable?
40177Would a few yards of gauze help any?"
40177Would n''t they think she was odd and funny looking?
40177Would n''t you, Gwen?"
40177Would not that be better than going to pieces completely and living on, a useless hulk?
40177Would she ever be able to live down all the unkind things she had said about Dr. Wright?
40177Would you like to go up and see that?"
40177Wright?"
40177You know that, I suppose?"
40177You think it shows sense to say that man is not ugly?
40177is this you, Lewis?"
40177it war a puctuashun an speakin of them things I hope you and muther is noticing how i am a usin punctuashuns in my letter?
40177richmond, vA. Dere farther?
40177started Helen, and Lucy chimed in with:"Yes, how could you?"
40179A what? 40179 Ah, is that so?
40179Ahem-- are your plans for the winter made yet?
40179Ai n''t it grand we got lost?
40179Ai n''t they the scared cats, though?
40179All of them gone, Oscar?
40179And do you understand it?
40179And how is camp life treating you this morning?
40179And may I ask what is this enchanted land?
40179And money to pay for the chickens? 40179 And that mission is----?"
40179And that way is----?
40179And where would we come in?
40179Any appetite?
40179Any people there? 40179 Apple?"
40179Are n''t the Tuckers splendid?
40179Are we to spend the rest of our lives digging and delving for gold and then not use the money? 40179 Are you cold?"
40179Are you scared?
40179Are you well, honey? 40179 Bobby?
40179But I mean be engaged to me?
40179But suppose someone else does n''t wait and she gets snapped up before your eyes-- what then?
40179But what are we to do? 40179 But where will you and Bill sleep?"
40179But why spend it on me when I do n''t want to go into society?
40179But you write to her every time you write to me, do n''t you, Tom Tit?
40179But, mother----"Simply have to-- how can a girl come out suitably unless she is in her own home?
40179Ca n''t Dr. Wright have a plain talk with your mother and explain matters to her?
40179Ca n''t Susan attend to the things?
40179Ca n''t we take our guns, Miss Helen?
40179Ca n''t your last winter''s suit be done over? 40179 Can I tell her you say yes if she does?"
40179Can you do that, too?
40179Certainly, why not?
40179Cold? 40179 Did you ever see one of these teakettles, Skeeter?"
40179Did you ever see such a morning? 40179 Did you like it then?
40179Do n''t you want to know my name, too, Miss Nan Carter? 40179 Do they make you blue, these bills?"
40179Do you boys know exactly where we are going?
40179Do you come across any of this stuff, whatever it is that these crazy folks call teakettles?
40179Do you get lonesome all by yourself?
40179Do you know it''s''most night? 40179 Do you know, Mr. Tinsley, that I have danced out five dresses this summer?
40179Do you live here all the time?
40179Do you mind really, Douglas?
40179Do you think we are lost?
40179Do you think we had better cross this stream?
40179Does she really cook, herself?
40179Does the spring- keeper live far from here?
40179Douglas, can the boys take their guns? 40179 Douglas, do n''t you think you could love me a little?"
40179Fish with what? 40179 Fly?
40179Gone where?
40179Have you a telephone at camp?
40179Have you ever flown before?
40179Have you seen the week- enders swarming up the mountain?
40179Helen, what do you enjoy most in camp life?
40179Honest? 40179 How about fried turnovers like Mammy Susan makes?"
40179How can I? 40179 How can we fry anything without lard and a pan?"
40179How do you make eggshell cake?
40179How on earth did you happen to land here?
40179How''s that, like triplets?
40179I am sorry you are ill. What is troubling you?
40179I do n''t want you to ask her to dance a german with you----Oh, what was the fellow driving at, anyhow?
40179I''ll do what I can, but if you take the matter so much to heart why do n''t you do it yourself, Tucker? 40179 I''m not worrying about what they will say, but what will they think?
40179In heaven''s name, what is all this food for?
40179Is he a great friend of your father?
40179Is it a mother? 40179 Is it pies?
40179Is n''t this great?
40179Is n''t this just too lovely?
40179Is she ill?
40179Is she so superior?
40179Is that so, grandmother?
40179Is that you, Tom Tit?
40179Is you uns ever flew?
40179Mind? 40179 Miss Dum Tucker, are you going to remain long in camp?"
40179Miss Nan, did I ever see a teakettle that you know of?
40179Mother, are you comfortable up there?
40179Mr. Smith, tell me, while flying through the air would you like to have one of these teakettles with you? 40179 Mr. Tucker, tell me: did you really get mother to give up White Sulphur just to chaperone the twins and Page?"
40179Nothing, I reckon, with Skeeter and me here to protect you-- eh, Skeeter?
40179Now that you have found us, what are you going to do with us?
40179Now, Douglas, what''s the use in going around looking like a frump? 40179 Of course it is hard, but then are n''t all of you giving up things, too?"
40179Oh, do you get a letter every day? 40179 Oh, how did you do it?"
40179Oh, mountain nymph, may a traveler land in your domain?
40179Out where?
40179Political or climatic?
40179Say, Skeeter, what are we going to do?
40179Skeeter, did you and Frank get any squirrels yesterday?
40179Talking about spooks-- what do you know about that?
40179Then we are n''t so very much trouble?
40179This is Helicon-- and you-- who are you?
40179Tom Tit, would you like to fly with that great bird?
40179Turrible ai n''t no word for it; an''now you say the white folks wants to eat agin? 40179 Two lumps, or one?"
40179Walk after supper?
40179Was the man sick?
40179We can do them in no time, ca n''t we, Nan?
40179We uns? 40179 Well, Dr. Wright,"trilled Mrs. Carter,"is n''t this a delightful adventure for my girls to have amused themselves with?
40179Well, ai n''t this the limit? 40179 Well, what did I tell you?
40179Well, what will we do? 40179 Well, who would not be meek with all those parcels?"
40179What I done now?
40179What about them? 40179 What are we going to do, Nan?
40179What are we to do? 40179 What are you girls scrapping about?"
40179What is an artist but a person who finds things, just like my poor Tom Tit, and then is able to tell to the world what he has found?
40179What is his business?
40179What is it, Douglas?
40179What kind of pies shall it be?
40179What on earth have you done to make Nan so eternally grateful?
40179What others? 40179 What would you have done last night if Tom Tit had not found you and brought you home?"
40179What''s a bes''frien''? 40179 What''s a problem?"
40179What''s all that?
40179What, that little ole Hi Parker? 40179 When he writes to you, does he tell you things in poetical language?"
40179Where are Susan and Oscar?
40179Where are all the children, Robert?
40179Where are the other girls?
40179Where did I ever get them, Doctor, these girls? 40179 Where do you live?"
40179Where is Bobby? 40179 Where is Helen?"
40179Wherefo''you done lef''yo''wuck to Miss Helen?
40179Which way is home?
40179Who is blaming it on you?
40179Who is the gentleman?
40179Who taught you to play the jew''s- harp?
40179Who''s going to worry him? 40179 Why do n''t you let her have them?"
40179Why do n''t you say you do n''t give a hang for me and let me go?
40179Why kick you? 40179 Why not?
40179Why on earth do they want to carry garden tools on a ten mile tramp?
40179Why should n''t she?
40179Why, does mother know he is coming up?
40179Why, how did you know?
40179Why, what''s the matter? 40179 Will all of you please step out of the way?"
40179Wo n''t it be terrible if the train is late and all the week- enders get here before mother and father?
40179Wo n''t you tell us some more about yourself?
40179Yes, apple,laughed Helen, amused at Dum''s enthusiasm,"also some lemon pies, do n''t you think?
40179Yes, it must go somewhere just as all the trails we have followed today must-- but where? 40179 Yes; what on earth could happen to us?"
40179You ca n''t get home somehow tonight?
40179You do n''t mean I have actually landed at Week- End Camp? 40179 You dream then a great deal?"
40179You mean outdoors?
40179You, Bobby, what are you doing up there?
40179Ai n''t that grand?
40179Am I right?"
40179And Bobby-- where does Bobby sleep?"
40179And how about the axe, since it is not meant to signify coon hunting?"
40179And if we go into our house and turn out the desirable tenants, where are we to get an income to exist on?"
40179And now what are we to do with them?"
40179And now what do you think?"
40179And now when he said:"What makes you think he is still so badly off?"
40179And what do you think Skeeter and I''ll be doing while they are carrying you off?"
40179And you girls in the tents beyond?
40179Another aeroplane or a rainbow?"
40179Are there any people there?
40179Are you sick?"
40179Be you uns daffy, too?"
40179But what am I thinking of?
40179CHAPTER XVII THE SPRING- KEEPER"Is n''t this grand?"
40179Ca n''t you see that he is still in a very nervous state and the least little worry might upset his reason?
40179Ca n''t your mother see this?"
40179Can I really fly?"
40179Can you give me a few minutes?"
40179Can you think of anything?"
40179Can you turn your crank and listen?"
40179Can you uns play that again?"
40179Could it be that even now she did not understand?
40179Could she ever forget it?
40179Could she have charged the purchases in New York?
40179Could this be his Helen, the queen of the kitchen, attending to the preparation of this great quantity of food?
40179Depressed over what?"
40179Did n''t I say you could n''t keep anything from Zebedee?"
40179Did n''t he, Frank?"
40179Did you ever see such a cute little room?
40179Did you hear me tell Douglas what my plan is for her and me?
40179Do n''t you hear a strange sound, kind of like music without a tune?"
40179Do n''t you like it?
40179Do n''t you reckon he''ll go to the camp with us?
40179Do they want to stay?"
40179Do you ever see Mr. Spring- keeper and Tom Tit?
40179Do you know I adore the old- fashioned waltz?"
40179Do you reckon he will tell us all about himself and poor Tom Tit without our pumping him?
40179Do you reckon we will sleep in here?"
40179Do you think that if he were almost well he would sit passively down and let his daughters decide for him as he is doing now?
40179Do you want to take a trip with me some day?"
40179Eh, Tom Tit?"
40179Everyone was kind and thoughtful of her, but then was she not kind and thoughtful of everyone?
40179Guns?"
40179Had he been too severe in his harangue?
40179Had her mother been buying things in New York?
40179Had she not been punished and now were not all the grownups sorry for her and petting her?
40179Had she not brought a present to every one of her girls and a great box of expensive toys for Bobby?
40179Had she not even remembered every one of the servants, not only Susan and Oscar but the ones who had been in her service when she had left Richmond?
40179Has he not always been a man of action, one to take the initiative?
40179Have n''t I always written to you?"
40179Have you a telephone here?"
40179Have you got your bags?"
40179He had heard music in the wind and music in the water; the birds had sung to him and the beasts had talked to him; but what was this?
40179How about High Olympus?
40179How about that?"
40179How can we?"
40179How could her mother be so easily influenced?
40179How could they get lost?
40179How did you do it?"
40179How did you learn?"
40179How does our bank account stand now?"
40179How else am I to get them paid?"
40179How else could a wood nymph drink?
40179How many times had he been approached in just this way?
40179How on earth do you make such cute edges to your tarts?
40179How would Helen take his interference?
40179I do n''t want to butt in-- you understand that, do n''t you?
40179I may be a private for the rest of my life and what could I offer a girl like you?
40179I mean would it be the kind of thing you could carry with you?
40179I saw it, did n''t you, Lucy?"
40179If I did engage myself to you, you would n''t have the least bit of respect for me and you know you would n''t; would you?"
40179If a complexion could show up as well as hers did in the sunlight what would it not do in artificial light?
40179Is father worse?"
40179Is it you?"
40179Is n''t he romantic?"
40179Is n''t he sweet?"
40179Is n''t it strange how these places are overrated?
40179Is n''t that a lovely dress she has on this evening?
40179Is n''t that enough for her to be grateful over?"
40179Is n''t that wonderful?"
40179Is she a good looker?"
40179Is that Camp Carter?
40179Is there some way out of it without letting father know that mother wants something and can not have it for lack of money?"
40179Is this where I am to be?
40179Kin you play on the Victrola?"
40179Maid, will you fly with me?"
40179Miss Dee, what are these teakettles like?"
40179Miss Douglas, are you expecting to miss the boys who have gone to the border with the Blues?"
40179Mrs. Carter, have you any of these teakettles about you?"
40179Must I tell Dr. Wright?
40179Nan was disgusted with herself that again the thought came to her:"What are all of these people going to have for breakfast?"
40179Nan, did you know he was coming?"
40179Now shall we fly to''Frisco?
40179Oh, Lucy, are you crazy?
40179Other girls pretended, why not she?
40179Parker?"
40179Parker?"
40179Spring- keeper?"
40179Tell me that, who was they?
40179Thank you, Miss Dum, for the compliment you just paid me, or did you mean your father?
40179Then she drew Mr. Tucker aside and whispered to him:"See here, Zebedee, do n''t you think it is up to us somehow to relieve this situation?
40179Tucker, what is your opinion of the war?
40179We know it is hard on her-- all of this----""All of what?"
40179What are we to do?"
40179What business has a girl of your age to know about who does thorough cleaning and when it is done?"
40179What do you make of it?"
40179What do you mean, Bobby?"
40179What do you think about it?"
40179What do you think he intended to convey by this?"
40179What does your father say?"
40179What for?"
40179What is it this time?
40179What is it?"
40179What is your plan?"
40179What made her give it up?
40179What made you bawl?"
40179What makes you think he is still so badly off?"
40179What on earth do you do with all the scraps?"
40179What on earth?"
40179What should she do?
40179What time had she to think about getting engaged?
40179What was Dr. Wright thinking of her?
40179What was she to do about her mother and Helen?
40179What will Miss Douglas and Miss Helen say to us?"
40179What would her mother say to such an escapade?
40179What you say to that, Skeeter?"
40179What''s worrying you?"
40179When are you going to leave those diggings and come back to the good old burg?
40179Where are your teeth?
40179Where did mother get it?
40179Where do you reckon they''ll sleep?"
40179Where has it gone?"
40179Where is my precious Bobby?"
40179Where is your mother?"
40179Who are all those people I saw coming up the road?"
40179Who is going?"
40179Who is he?"
40179Who knows?
40179Who was his folks?
40179Why ca n''t she see, Nan?"
40179Why did you have your hair cut so short?
40179Why, Lewis, I-- I-- how can I be when it is so sudden?
40179Will it last much longer?"
40179Will that do?"
40179Wo n''t you be engaged to me so I''ll have something to work for until I can see you again?"
40179Wo n''t you, Tillie?"
40179Would Helen ever forgive him?
40179Would her mother want to buy more things to replace these that were ruined?
40179Would it be of any value on the journey?"
40179Would n''t it be grand to be like Aeneas and put your food on a little cake and then eat the cake?"
40179Would n''t the old- fashioned waltz go well with that record Helen has just put on?
40179Would you mind asking for them?"
40179You have a home somewhere near here, have n''t you?"
40179You knew all the time that it was no cousin business, did n''t you, Douglas?"
40179You know we are right, do n''t you?"
40179You remember you told me once that you and Miss Jinny Cox saved the day for a picnic at Monticello when a deluge hit you there?"
40179You remember,"and he turned to Helen,"his troubled talk about lamb chops and silk stockings, do you not?"
40179You think this is going to harm your camp and keep people from coming, do n''t you?"
40179You will write to me, wo n''t you?"
21699A pleasant gallop, was it not, Senhor Armstrong?
21699A previous engagement, eh?
21699A surprise, Pedro?
21699All over,he repeated, and then continued with an affected air of indifference,"and what of that?
21699Am I dying?
21699An''what did Miss Manuela say?
21699And I suppose you ca n''t even guess where any of those who escaped went to?
21699And are we to stay to- night at the same villa?
21699And how did you escape, Quash? 21699 And now,"he asked in conclusion,"what say you to all that?"
21699And pray, senhor, why should you object to Senhor Armstrong, or any one else, falling in love with me in spite of my brown skin?
21699And the child?
21699And the other poor fellow who went over the precipice,asked Lawrence,"did you know him?"
21699And were_ you_ obliged to buy and wear a pair of these spectacles, Tiger?
21699And what do you intend to do now, Quash?
21699And what if we should meet with such in a place where there is scarcely room to fight?
21699And what will you now do?
21699And you have never been to Mendoza or San Juan?
21699Are the troops we search for sent out to aid the government of Mendoza?
21699Arter what, massa?
21699Aw-- you do n''t say so?
21699Besides, what would it avail to talk with any of them about the affairs of a place that is now in ashes? 21699 But do n''t you know where any of the household have gone?"
21699But do you really think the fellow was Conrad of the Mountains?
21699But how if you should want to roll about in your sleep?
21699But tell me, Pedro, is this all true?
21699But what happen arter dat, Sooz''n?
21699But what will your father say?
21699But what_ is_ this good news, Pedro?
21699But why expose the poor girl to such risks?
21699But why so quickly? 21699 But, after all,"he muttered, indignantly,"would not any young fellow have done the same for any woman in the circumstances?
21699But, massa, what''s come ober de ole hunter? 21699 But,"exclaimed Lawrence, with some excitement,"if you left the Indians so recently, wo n''t they be close on your heels?"
21699But,still objected Lawrence,"how can you lay your head on your pillow with such a thing-- beg pardon, such a veil on?"
21699Conrad?
21699D''you know what has happened, Quashy?
21699Dear me, Quashy,said Manuela, an expression of sympathy appearing at once on her fine eyebrows,"who is it?
21699Did I speak?
21699Did you ebber see a crab climbin''up a tree?
21699Did you fall in with the notorious bandit, Conrad of the Mountains?
21699Do n''t ex- what- gerate, massa?
21699Do n''t smoke?
21699Do you also know that he has just been here, and formally asked your hand in marriage?
21699Do you think we shall reach our next shelter before it breaks?
21699Does Manuela know anything of the mischief that is brewing?
21699Friendly?
21699Get who?
21699Ghosts and crokidiles!--what''s dat?
21699Has it ever been otherwise?
21699Have they caught the rascals?
21699Have they done any damage?
21699Have we, then, much chance of meeting with robbers?
21699Have you made the end fast?
21699Have you not heard about it?
21699Have you not spoken to him about it, senhor, and paid him in advance, like the good Samaritan?
21699He knows you?
21699Hear you that, senhor?
21699How can I tell, Quash, you stupid fellow? 21699 How do you know?"
21699How many, senhor?
21699How many? 21699 How now, child?
21699How old are you, Pizarro?
21699How shall we manage to kill it?
21699How so, Quashy?
21699How will you get near enough for a shot?
21699How you forbid him, when you not can speak hims tongue?
21699How you mean? 21699 How-- what-- where are the troops?"
21699How? 21699 How?
21699I had not heard of it,said Lawrence,"but what has that to do with Mendoza?"
21699I wonder what he wants with you?
21699Indeed, where?
21699Indeed,said Lawrence, whose interest in the villa with the rustic porch was suddenly intensified,"and shall we find her there on our return?"
21699Indeed? 21699 Is it sometimes without a door, then?"
21699Is it-- can it be-- a dream?
21699Is that fellow in this neighbourhood just now?
21699Is you gwine,inquired Quashy, after a brief pause,"to de gubner''s ball to- night?"
21699Just so, senhor, and you observe that they do not move, but are hovering over one spot?
21699Manuela is merry,he said to the guide;"will you not translate, that I may enjoy the joke?"
21699May I ask-- are your wanderings mere haphazard? 21699 No hope?"
21699No wonder,rejoined Lawrence,"but what of the child?"
21699No-- have you_ not_?
21699Not of high rank?
21699Now then, Bill,cried one, smiting the other with facetious violence on the back,"what''ll you have?"
21699Now, Antonio,cried the colonel, coming forward at the moment,"what do you intend to do?
21699Now, senhor,he said, wheeling round suddenly, and confronting Lawrence with a tremendous frown,"what do you mean by this?"
21699O massa!--he not dead, eh?
21699Of course I mean, will_ you_ find her there when you return? 21699 Oh, indeed,"said Lawrence; then, feeling that he ought to say something more,"I suppose his newly- found daughter is with him?"
21699P''r''aps,suggested the faithful man, with an excess of modesty and some hesitation,--"P''r''aps you''d like me to go wid you for-- for-- company?"
21699So I is, Quash, bery t''ankful, but what''s to be dooed? 21699 Strange,"thought Lawrence,"what can he mean by that?
21699Sultry, you mean?
21699Suppose,retorted the guide,"that an earthquake should swallow up South America, or that the world should catch fire-- what then?"
21699Surely there must be some place of safety nearer than Buenos Ayres, to which you might conduct her?
21699Surely you are not a Scot?
21699Surely,he said,"you can not count on his being influenced by your commands after you are gone?"
21699Surely,he said,"you can not have been in ignorance all this time that Manuela_ is_ my daughter?"
21699Tell me, Manuela,returned Lawrence, earnestly,"is your father a chief?"
21699The white- haired chief?
21699The worse for them or for you-- which?
21699Then he is not Conrad of the Mountains whom you mentioned to me lately?
21699Then you think it is only fools who fight, Quashy?
21699True, Manuela, true,replied the guide,"you never said a truer word than that; but by what means was His mercy displayed?"
21699Twice,replied the girl quickly, and then paused, with a confused look,--"how you say, twice-- or two times?"
21699Was he a large man?
21699Was our old clerk among the slain?
21699Well, an''what says de kurnel to dat?
21699Well, massa, how''s you gittin''along now?
21699Well, now, Quash,resumed Lawrence,"what did you do after that?"
21699What ails you, Quash?
21699What can they be about?
21699What do you mean by purrits?
21699What do you mean by your conduct, I say?
21699What do you mean?
21699What do you mean?
21699What doos you dream, senhor?
21699What ees dat?
21699What have you done with her, Pedro?
21699What is his name?
21699What more could I wish?
21699What news?
21699What surprises you?
21699What went wrong? 21699 What would you advise, then?"
21699What would you recommend?
21699What''s dat got to do wid it?
21699What''s dat, massa?
21699What''s ramsumd, massa?
21699What''s wrong, Quash?
21699What''s you be do wid_ him_?
21699What-- is-- t''rannical?
21699What-- the sportsman-- eh?
21699When do you start?
21699Where were you born, Pizarro?
21699Where you gwine?
21699Who are you, and who bound you?
21699Who can tell?
21699Who is he?
21699Why so, Tiger? 21699 Why you no shoot de deer an''pepper de alligators, massa?"
21699Why, child, how could you know that? 21699 Why_ was_ she born a savage?"
21699Will any of them die if you do n''t stay to nurse them?
21699Will that, then, render your journey to Buenos Ayres unnecessary?
21699Will they not survive under ordinary attendance?
21699Will you sup, senhor?
21699Would it not be better to go a little further and encamp away from them?
21699Would it not have been safer to have bound his hands behind his back?
21699Yes, I see that; what then?
21699Yes, I was thinking-- was wondering-- that is-- by the way, with whom will you leave Manuela?
21699Yes, you know it, then?
21699Yes?
21699You do n''t smoke?
21699You doubt that man?
21699You expected me, Ignacio?
21699You have insulted my daughter in the ballroom--"Your daughter?
21699You know him, then? 21699 You know it, child?"
21699You no want_ me_, massa?
21699You ole scoundril,growled the negro, with an injured look,"di''n''t I say we''s got no time to waste?
21699You''ll go, I suppose?
21699Your home, then, can not be far distant?
21699Your wounded arm is better, I hope?
21699` Have you made no effort to rescue them?'' 21699 ` Lent, my dear madam?''
21699` Meanwhile,''I said,` the ten travellers are to be left to starve?'' 21699 ` What was the ghost like?''
21699A mixture of surprise and annoyance marked the old man''s tone and look as he replied--"Why, what has_ that_ got to do with it?"
21699An''ai n''t I sure''nuff dat he''s got suffin to do wid de mischif, or he would n''t be so secret?"
21699And are you sorry that I should have laid your lessons to heart?"
21699And his success was in proportion to his boldness, for Manuela burst into a hearty laugh, and said--"Why you wants be my brudder?"
21699And why should she care about parting from_ me_?
21699Are you all well, and ready for a start?"
21699Are you aware that we start immediately in pursuit of the Indians who have attacked and murdered the poor people of Rolland''s Ranch?"
21699Are you hurt?"
21699As such he looked at his questioner with perplexity in his countenance, and said--"I beg pardon?"
21699As well he might be; for were not his companions particularly agreeable, and were not his surroundings exquisitely beautiful and intensely romantic?
21699Besides, what could she gain by it all?
21699But excuse me,"added the Peruvian, with some hesitation,"you are aware, I suppose, that your father is dead?"
21699But is n''t Chili Christ''n, an''is n''t P''roo Christ''n?
21699But what if you''s mistook de d''rection, an''we''s ridin''west instead ob east?"
21699But what went wrong?"
21699But where got you this news from?
21699But why do you ask?
21699But why such haste?
21699But,"( after a pause),"_ have_ I been mistaken?
21699Can you not speak their dialect even a little?"
21699D''ee hear?"
21699Das pleasant to t''ink on-- i''n''t it?"
21699Di''n''t he say dar''s noos to tell, an''he wants help, an''der''s mischif a- brewin''?
21699Did I not see you-- in the ballroom-- white-- the daughter of Colonel Marchbanks?"
21699Did she remember her parents?
21699Did you ever sleep so, Senhor Armstrong?"
21699Do I not remember that it is written,` Blessed are the peacemakers,''and also,` Scatter thou the people that delight in war?''"
21699Do n''t you hear him?"
21699Do the people of San Luis sympathise with those of San Juan?"
21699Do you know what it feels like to have your flesh creep?"
21699Do you make out what I mean?
21699Does your sympathy go with me thus far?"
21699Good- bye?"
21699Had this pretty little Inca princess, then, no feeling whatever-- no touch of common tenderness, like other girls?
21699Has that been your experience too?"
21699Has you got dem hoops tied, massa?"
21699Have I not guessed rightly?"
21699Have they killed many of the men-- or got hold of the women and children?"
21699Have you no idea who they were that stole your little one, or where they went to?"
21699Have you not yourself just told me?"
21699Have you?"
21699He only said, however, with a sigh,"Is the gale abating, Quashy?"
21699His food and lodging, being supplied by his employers,( owners?)
21699How do you know he''s so very awful, Quashy?"
21699How do you?"
21699How should I know?
21699I don''mean west,"returned the negro, with a reciprocal grin;"you could n''t be so mistook as dat-- but s''pose you''se go souf by mistake?"
21699I s''pose you''s agwine?"
21699I suppose you will have no objection to a tearing gallop of several hundred miles over the Pampas?"
21699Is all that glows in beauty in the wilderness doomed to"blush unseen"?
21699Is all the sweetness expended on the desert air"wasted?"
21699Is it not written,` Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass?''"
21699Is massa to go away widout sayin''good- bye to Miss Manuela?"
21699Is n''t it, Manuela?"
21699Is not the province of San Juan as free to elect its own governor as the province of Mendoza?
21699Is there much probability of the belligerents coming so far among the hills?"
21699Is you free to go''way wid me?"
21699Look, do you see that villa with the rustic porch on the cliff; just beyond the town?"
21699May the same principle not operate between man and the lower animals?
21699Might he not, then, scrape away the rubbish on which he lay until he should, as it were, sink away from the beam?
21699Need we say that Lawrence reciprocated the affection of the man?
21699Need we say that Pedro''s imperturbability was by no means the result of apathy?
21699Need we say that the horse refused to stand still?
21699No doubt,"added the negro, with a meditative gaze at the ground,"when rubbers come at a feller he''s boun''to fight, for why?
21699Now, Quashy, what you t''ink ob all dat?"
21699Now, my friend,"added Pedro, suddenly stopping and confronting our hero with a decided air, and an earnest look,"will you join me in this venture?
21699Now,_ was n''t_ dat modest?"
21699Of course Arnold is a name you gave her?''
21699Perhaps he knows the chief, her father, but why look surprised and smile on that account?
21699Pray, by what name shall I call you?"
21699Presently a voice beside him whispered--"Is you bery bad, massa?"
21699Saddle the horses-- the hor-- why, where_ are_ the horses?"
21699See you yon cottage- like edifice, close to Pedro''s old home, with the rustic porch in front, and the well- stocked garden around?
21699Senhor Armstrong has changed his mind?"
21699Senhor Armstrong, will you come with me?"
21699Shall I give them in Spanish or English?"
21699Shall I tell you something of my history, Senhor Armstrong?"
21699Shall we go?"
21699Shall we trouble you with the details?
21699That would be insubordination, Pedro, would it not?
21699The question I have to settle just now is-- Are you fond of him?"
21699Then, you know, I could not dare to ride so in ordinary female dress and with a white face; the thing would look ridiculous-- wouldn''t it?
21699There-- are these the right sizes?"
21699Turn''i m upside- down, or outside in-- w''ich?"
21699Was n''t it so, Manuela?"
21699Well, you must know that-- that-- what was I sayin''?"
21699Were you present?"
21699What could the fellow mean?
21699What d''ee t''ink dey dooed, Sooz''n?"
21699What d''you mean?"
21699What den?"
21699What has he done to make you so bitter?"
21699What matters it to me that I have been mistaken?
21699What may the nature of the news be, if I may venture to ask of one who is so-- so very reticent?"
21699What right,"continued the youth, with grand indignation,--"What right has the government of Mendoza to interfere?
21699What was it?"
21699What were you about to say?"
21699What will you have?"
21699What would you say to that?"
21699What_ are_ the good qualities that I seem to have been so mistaken about?"
21699Where''s Quashy?"
21699Which do_ you_ like best?"
21699Which way did they go-- that is, at what point of the compass did they disappear?"
21699Who ever went to a town or a region, and found it to resemble the picture of it which had been previously painted on his imagination by description?
21699Who is dey?
21699Why did you require me to maintain such secrecy, and afflict myself with such constant care and watchfulness?"
21699Why not wait for me?"
21699Why not?"
21699Why so?"
21699Why you so long?
21699Why, what does he think''baccy was made for?"
21699Will you go with me to the Mariquita Valley?"
21699Will you go, therefore, and tell Quashy to get ready, while I have a talk with Manuela?"
21699Would you, Pedro?"
21699You are all ready, I suppose?"
21699You can not advance much further to- night, why not encamp here?
21699You have heard of the Incas, senhor?"
21699You know that my father loves you?"
21699You see those men?"
21699You surely have not been tempted to-- to condescend to eavesdropping?"
21699You''s heer''d ob Conrad ob de Mountains, massa?"
21699You''ve heard of him?"
21699_ she_ is a daughter of a chief of the Incas-- is she not?
21699` Are you sure?''
21699` Senhor Pumpkin,''says he,` you are Conrad ob de Mountains,''--(''cause he guess who he was by dat time);` how you prepose to go ober de mountains?''
21699` Whar you come fro''?''
21699` Whar you go to?''
21699` What side you b''longs to, raskil?''
21699` What''s you''name?''
21699` Your surname, my girl?''
21699and why does he send for me?"
21699do you not know,"retorted Antonio, contemptuously,"that traitors are the offspring of tyrants?
21699exclaimed the youth eagerly;"and perhaps you knew my father too?"
21699indeed?"
21699interposed Quashy;"what would peepil judge ob_ me_, now, if dey hoed by looks?"
21699interrupted the negro, assuming the sympathetic gaze instantly, and speaking with intense feeling,"it''s not in de stummik, am it?"
21699interrupted the victim, in a soft, unbelieving voice, and with an eager, wistful look at the exquisite landscape again,--"is it possible?"
21699is dat all?"
21699massa Lawrie, why you no come sooner?
21699repeated the negro, indignantly,"did n''t he say you was mad or drunk?"
21699returned the outlaw,"what good would that do?
21699spluttered the old man, as Manuela ran away from the scene,"what-- why-- what do you mean?"
21699two more enemies?"
21699wantin''to keep up a_ leetle_ innercence?"
21699whar dey come fro?"
21699what do you mean?"
21699what is his name?
21699what think you of that?"
21699what you sniggerin''at, you dirty leetle cub?"
21699what''s de matter wid it?"
21699what''s this?"
21699you call_ dat_ exaggerate, massa?
21699you un''erstan''Ingliss?"
21699you_ not_''bey orders?
39094Am I going to stand still and be called a coward? 39094 And last night?"
39094And take the farm away from us?
39094And what are the consequences?
39094And what might be the name of the place where you live?
39094And what might your names be?
39094And who are you?
39094And you lost?
39094Any luck, boys?
39094Are n''t we going to Dizzy Gulch?
39094Are n''t you, Jed?
39094Are you going to any place in particular?
39094Are you going to keep Mr. Harrison much longer?
39094Are you going to stop?
39094Are you going to take back what you said about me?
39094Are you going up against Gabe?
39094Are you hurt?
39094Are you miners, too?
39094Are you much of a rider?
39094Are you poor?
39094Are you sure this is the place?
39094Are you sure you shut the one in my bedroom?
39094As if pins and needles were all over you?
39094Boys,said the old miner one morning, as they were preparing to break camp, and travel on,"suppose you stay here for a few hours?
39094But how can I do it? 39094 But is it true you are going prospecting up at Dizzy Gulch?"
39094But say, Will, am I mistaken, or are those horses down there?
39094But the railroad fares?
39094But what takes you away from Dizzy Gulch?
39094Ca n''t we get under some shelter?
39094Can I have the horns?
39094Can you hear me now?
39094Come far?
39094Con Morton? 39094 Could n''t you find it again?"
39094Did I-- did I stay on?
39094Did I? 39094 Did he have a white spot on the breast?"
39094Did he say how things were going there? 39094 Did it fall on you?"
39094Did one named Con Morton show up around here?
39094Did some one rob you?
39094Did we put''em as deep as that?
39094Did you feel that?
39094Did you get him?
39094Did you get him?
39094Did you lose what you had?
39094Did you see our brown horse pass here a while ago?
39094Dizzy Gulch, you mean? 39094 Do I look like a man who had money in two banks?"
39094Do n''t I, though? 39094 Do n''t you remember this big rock?
39094Do n''t you think it would be better to have a tent?
39094Do they have souvenir postals out in the mines?
39094Do you find gold mining pays?
39094Do you know him?
39094Do you mean to insult me?
39094Do you need as much as that?
39094Do you notice anything queer, Gabe?
39094Do you s''pose they''re gone for good?
39094Do you see any?
39094Do you suppose that''s a joke?
39094Do you suppose they will?
39094Do you take turns riding those horses?
39094Do you think there''s gold there?
39094Do you think we''ll have a chance to shoot such big game?
39094Do you think you can travel?
39094Do you think you''ll ever see him again?
39094Do? 39094 Does n''t it bother you at other times?"
39094Enough? 39094 Even getting into the rapids?"
39094Fierce?
39094Find some? 39094 Find the gold?
39094For me?
39094Gamblers? 39094 Gamblers?
39094Going to Dizzy Gulch? 39094 Gold mining?"
39094Gone?
39094Guess you do n''t find this much easier than cultivating corn, do you?
39094Had n''t we better stake out a claim?
39094Had we better go look for him?
39094Has anything happened?
39094Have n''t you any particular place to go?
39094Have we struck a bonanza or not?
39094Have you found some more nuggets?
39094He did, eh?
39094Horseback?
39094Hot, ai n''t it? 39094 How about farming now?
39094How about the strikes at Dizzy Gulch?
39094How are you going to get out to that place with the queer name, then?
39094How are you now, Jed?
39094How can I get you out?
39094How can they, Debby, if we do n''t get rain? 39094 How did he know your address?"
39094How did it happen?
39094How did it happen?
39094How did you happen to think of it? 39094 How do you feel?"
39094How do you know?
39094How in the world did you get here, Gabe?
39094How long have you been here?
39094How much do you reckon it is?
39094How much is it worth?
39094How was I to know he did n''t know the difference between a bucking bronco and a cow pony?
39094How''s the water?
39094How?
39094I guess you wish you were back in the snug farmhouse, do n''t you, boys?
39094I will? 39094 I wonder who can be writing to me?"
39094I wonder why he came back after us?
39094I wonder why they are n''t squealing their heads off as they always are?
39094I''m hungry; are n''t you? 39094 Is he hurt any?"
39094Is he sick, mother?
39094Is it as bad as that?
39094Is it going to hold?
39094Is n''t that where we were encamped?
39094Is that the only mark you went by when you uncovered and then hid the nuggets?
39094Is this-- do you think it would be any good to dig for gold here?
39094Is you name Gabe Harrison?
39094Is your father Colonel Jack Bryant?
39094Is your interest money in the bank at Rossmore?
39094It hardly seems possible; does it, Will?
39094It''s a good joke, is n''t it?
39094It''s easy enough to say''go back to camp,''remarked Will,"but how are we going to do it?"
39094Jed? 39094 Me?
39094Montana?
39094Morning? 39094 Nettie, are all the windows shut?"
39094Now how am I going to get you out?
39094Oh, they had, eh? 39094 Oh, you will, eh?"
39094Oh, you would n''t do that, would you?
39094Old Pete ran away?
39094Once more, stranger, a tenderfoot by your looks, what will you have?
39094Probably you''ve heard of it?
39094Prospecting for what?
39094Say, I''d hate to go back now, cultivating corn in that hot field, would n''t you?
39094Say, do n''t you think it''s about time Gabe came back?
39094Say, do you notice anything queer?
39094See anything to eat?
39094Shall I give a yell?
39094Shall I throw the rope down to you?
39094Shall we ford it, or travel toward the head, where it is n''t so wide?
39094Shall we take it?
39094So, that''s the kind of men they are, eh?
39094Something queer? 39094 Suppose he''s on the other side of the river?"
39094Suppose we hide the gold somewhere, and let them catch us?
39094Suppose we stop here for grub?
39094Switchel?
39094Take you? 39094 That''s Pete, but where''s the pack?"
39094That''s what we''ll be doing soon, eh, Will?
39094The man who holds the mortgage on this place?
39094The sheriff?
39094Then how did you lose the rest of your fortune?
39094Then there is n''t any use in staying here?
39094Then we can go, ca n''t we, dad?
39094Then why do n''t you stay here?
39094Then you think I''m doing wrong?
39094They took it all?
39094Things are pretty dry around here, are n''t they, Enos?
39094Think he''ll shoot?
39094Travel? 39094 Was he going to show fight?"
39094Was that your hoss?
39094Was you- all thinking of striking out for Dizzy Gulch?
39094Well, if a baby wanted to play with a loaded gun, would you let him?
39094Well?
39094Were you wondering what happened to me?
39094Wha-- what''s that you said?
39094What about?
39094What are you carrying it with you for?
39094What are you going to do, neighbor Crosby?
39094What can we do?
39094What did he say?
39094What do you mean?
39094What do you say to that?
39094What do you want here?
39094What for?
39094What happened? 39094 What is?"
39094What made you give it up?
39094What makes you think so?
39094What makes you think they have gold?
39094What of? 39094 What then?"
39094What will you do?
39094What would be your choice?
39094What''ll we do?
39094What''s a rocker?
39094What''s happened? 39094 What''s that?"
39094What''s that?
39094What''s the good of it?
39094What''s the matter, Enos? 39094 What''s the matter, mother?"
39094What''s the matter? 39094 What''s the matter?"
39094What''s the matter?
39094What''s the matter?
39094What''s the matter?
39094What''s the matter?
39094What''s the pickaxe for?
39094What''s the use of supposing any such thing as that?
39094What''s the use of worrying until you have to?
39094What''s''pay dirt''?
39094Where are you going?
39094Where are you? 39094 Where are you?"
39094Where can they have gone? 39094 Where did I dig gold?"
39094Where did the horse go?
39094Where did you dig gold?
39094Where do you mean?
39094Where might you boys live?
39094Where was this?
39094Where''s the little one?
39094Where''s your camp? 39094 Where''s your horse?
39094Where?
39094Which way?
39094Who did it?
39094Who got it?
39094Who says I stole his fortune?
39094Who was he? 39094 Who was he?"
39094Who you talking to?
39094Who you yelling to?
39094Why did n''t I think of that first? 39094 Why for would you like to meet up with him?"
39094Why not?
39094Why not?
39094Why, what''s the matter with you?
39094Will you go over there and look after my nag? 39094 Will you let me try him?"
39094With my money?
39094Wo n''t you come in, and have some dinner?
39094Wo n''t you come in?
39094Worse? 39094 Yes, it''s easy enough to go down the slope, but where will we come out?
39094You did n''t happen to see a brown horse with only a bridle on, as you came along, did you?
39094You do n''t gamble? 39094 You do n''t say so?
39094You will, eh?
39094You, my dear girl? 39094 Are there gamblers here?
39094Are you alive?
39094Are you hurt?"
39094Are you killed?"
39094But do n''t you want a drink?"
39094But do you think my partner worried over it?
39094But first, are you sure there''s no other way out?"
39094But what are you going to drink?
39094But what chance have we to go out West in the mining country?"
39094But what''s this?"
39094But why did Jed and Will go away?
39094But why do you ask?"
39094But would you like to stay here a few days?"
39094But, Mr. Crosby, seriously speaking, why ca n''t these two boys go with me?
39094But, what do you think of him, anyhow, Jed?"

39094Ca n''t we, dad?"
39094Ca n''t you climb out?"
39094Ca n''t you wait a few weeks?
39094Can I wash up a bit?
39094Can you travel?"
39094Could it have been to look for me?
39094Crosby?"
39094Crosby?"
39094Crosby?"
39094Dad, ca n''t Will and I go gold mining?"
39094Did you ever work on a farm?"
39094Did you say it was morning?"
39094Did you see any signs of gold?"
39094Do you know these tenderfeet, Ned?"
39094Do you suppose the sheriff would let us?"
39094Do you think we can find the way back?"
39094Does she know you''re out?
39094Eh, Jim?"
39094Going far?"
39094Going to the new fields?"
39094Got a stone bruise?"
39094Got any shot cartridges?"

39094Harrison?"
39094Harrison?"
39094Have you had any luck?"
39094Have you my interest?
39094Have you their address, Nettie?"
39094Have you your guns loaded?"
39094How am I to know you had the interest in the bank?"
39094How are you feeling, Will?"
39094How are you?"
39094How can you joke at such a serious time as this?"
39094How could you help us?"
39094How did it happen he pulled a gun on you, Jed?"
39094How did you come to get on this one?"
39094How do you mean?"
39094How long has he been here?"
39094How?"
39094I did n''t know him, and no one else seemed to; did you fellows?"
39094I guess----""Then the horse went on toward Fentonville?"
39094I wonder how the boys are making out with their cultivating?
39094I wonder if Jed''s all right?"
39094I wonder if the horse wo n''t come to me now?"
39094I wonder if they can be our nags, or from some other camp?
39094I wonder if we''re on the right trail?"
39094I wonder what ails him, anyhow?
39094I wonder where Gabe is?"
39094I wonder why we ca n''t see him?
39094If so, why are n''t they here now?
39094Is he badly hurt?"
39094Is he much hurt?"
39094Is the sheriff after you?"

39094Shall I stake out a claim for you?''"

39094THE WELCOME LETTER-- CONCLUSION 200 TWO BOY GOLD MINERS CHAPTER I HARD TIMES"What''s the matter, Enos?"
39094Then why do n''t they send back some gold nuggets?
39094Those chaps?
39094Travel where?"
39094Was it an echo, or was that a voice replying to him?
39094What are we going to do, daddy-- sleep in the barn, in the hay?
39094What are we going to do?"
39094What are you looking up at the sky that way for?"
39094What are you two lads doing here?"
39094What can we do?"
39094What did you want of him?"
39094What do you think of that?"
39094What for, I''d like to know?"
39094What happened?"
39094What have you got there?
39094What if Jed had been killed, and he was left all alone there in the mountains, with that band of unprincipled men close after him?
39094What shall we do next?"
39094What''d I tell you?
39094What''s that, Jed?"
39094What''s that?"
39094What''s that?"
39094What''s the matter, Enos?"
39094What''s the matter, Will?"
39094Where are you?"
39094Where did you get those?"
39094Where''s there a well or a cistern?"
39094Who''s trying to rob you?
39094Why did n''t you send them to hunt for the fairy bag of gold at the foot of the rainbow?
39094Why did n''t you stay back East, tied to your mother''s apron string?
39094Why do n''t they pay the interest?"
39094Why do n''t you say the rain will do all sorts of good?"
39094Why not?
39094Why, what do you think of that?"
39094Why?"
39094Will you take us?"
39094Wonder what he''s writing to me for from away out in Montana?"
39094You''re not going to let them undertake that crazy plan, are you?"
39094Your son?"
39094called Jed to his brother, whose head was some distance above the stunted cornstalks,"do n''t you feel like having an ice- cream soda?"
21720''Ave you bin to the work-''ouses, sir?
21720''Ave you found''er, sir?
21720''Ot or cold, sir?
21720''Ow could you expect it, sir, to be anythink else, w''en you''ve sent it all over the table- cloth?
21720A whatumy?
21720Ah, indeed-- yes, well, Mr Brooke, will you condescend to be the bearer of my contribution? 21720 All of it?"
21720An''You would know the monster if you saw him again?
21720An''are ye aware that Buck Tom is one o''the most hardened, sanguinacious blackguards in all Colorado?
21720An''pray who are_ you_?
21720An''w''at''s yon monster crawlin''over the farthest plain, like the great sea- serpent?
21720An''who may this Jake the Flint be?
21720An''you remember the hole near the top o''the cliff?
21720And have you accepted?
21720And no tobacco?
21720And now, mother,said Charlie, at the end of a brief pause,"what about the future?"
21720And the father?
21720And what did_ he_ say?
21720And what if you should be attacked by Indians?
21720And what would you have me do?
21720And why did you prevent him?
21720And you ca n''t remember the station he went to?
21720And you did n''t see the man that carried him off?
21720And you have intrusted your money to_ him_?
21720And you have no idea,continued the captain,"who the man is that carried your friend Leather so hurriedly away?"
21720And you trust him?
21720Are the holes dangerous?
21720Are they clean?
21720Are ye a good shot, Dick?
21720Are ye sure, Hunky?
21720Are you aware,continued Shank, in a solemn tone,"that Ralph Ritson is Buck Tom-- the noted chief of the outlaws?"
21720Are you goin''for a cruise, Miss Mary?
21720Are you goin''thar, stranger?
21720Are you so sure, then, that there is no chance of our getting her off?
21720Are you well supplied with arms an''ammunition?
21720Ay? 21720 But I say, Will,"remarked Darvall, who pulled the stroke- oar,"you really do look ill. Is anything the matter with''ee?"
21720But how about Buck Tom?
21720But how comes it, Ben, that you missed Jake? 21720 But how does it happen that you are in such straits just now?"
21720But if they should be too many to fight?
21720But what have you done with your horse?
21720But what if these scoundrels should return to their old haunt?
21720But what if you should lose your way?
21720But what of Shank?
21720But why go in advance? 21720 But, my friend, is not this a species of eavesdropping?
21720By the way, Zook, what''s her name?
21720By which I s''pose you mean Mr Brooke, sir?
21720Can I trust you, Hunky Ben?
21720Can ye explain what the mystery is, Jackson?
21720Can you swim?
21720Can you wonder, Charlie?
21720Could you do without drink?
21720D''ee think the Redskins''ll attack us to- night then?
21720D''ye think he''s getting tired of us, Charlie?
21720D''you want anything?
21720Did n''t I say so, Captain? 21720 Did the clerk say to what part of London he booked?"
21720Did ye?
21720Did you ever study doctoring or surgery?
21720Did you hear anything?
21720Did you say it was a sunk reef your ship struck on?
21720Do n''t ye think, Crux,interposed Darvall,"that a long life an''a happy one might be better than either?"
21720Do n''t you see? 21720 Do you belong to the tribe that killed this white man?"
21720Do you indeed?
21720Do you_ really_ believe, mother, that_ every_ one who is born into the world is sent for a purpose, and with a specific work to do?
21720Does he belong to your band, Ritson?
21720Does it pain you much?
21720Does that young feller know about fixin''of it?
21720Does your father know you made it?
21720Eh?
21720Found who?
21720Friends, Ben, or foes?
21720Going home for a spell, I suppose?
21720Hallo, Hunky-- not goin''to skip, are ye?
21720Has Mr Zook come?
21720Has anything happened?
21720Has he got much?
21720Has money been sent?
21720Has the lifeboat coxswain been called?
21720Has the young man called this morning?
21720Have we any spirits aboard?
21720Have ye seen Samson yet, sir?
21720Have you accepted it?
21720Have you anything more to say to me?
21720Have you been to see mother? 21720 Have you known him long?"
21720Have you no idea, then, where he has gone?
21720Have you read over the rule carefully?
21720Have you spoken yet to your father?
21720Have you the money with you?
21720Have''ee a light, Jim?
21720Have_ you_ no idea, Ben, where these outlaws have taken themselves off to?
21720Have_ you_, Dick?
21720He can not accompany us; may we safely leave him behind?
21720Here, where are you? 21720 How could I?
21720How d''ee feel now, Will?
21720How d''you feel this evening, my boy?
21720How d''you know?
21720How did you come to know her?
21720How, if that be so, are we to account for the failure of those who try, honestly strive, struggle, and agonise, yet obviously fail?
21720How?
21720However, if you must go to see some one, Jamieson is better than Smithers; but why not come home and consult with mother and me?
21720I say, Hunky Ben, w''at''s yon brown things over there by the shores o''the lake?
21720I suppose Miss Mary''s not around anywhere, is she?
21720I thought you said the gen''leman was in the parlour, Mrs Brute?
21720I''m not a professional,he said, as he stepped forward;"you''ve no objection, I suppose, to my keeping on my shirt?"
21720If Jake is in the neighbourhood, would n''t it be well to return to the cave? 21720 If you_ ca n''t_ trust me, what d''ye propose to do?"
21720Indeed-- who was it?
21720Is he a very great friend of yours?
21720Is he steady?
21720Is he? 21720 Is it my duty to do this?"
21720Is it the Reds or the Buffalo you''re after to- day, Hunky, with such a big crowd?
21720Is it, then, such a dangerous place?
21720Is n''t that natural?
21720Is not this man one of your band, Jake?
21720Is the gen''leman at''ome?
21720Is the porter you refer to still here?
21720Is there enough o''dollars,he asked,"to let you do as ye like?"
21720Is there not, Shank? 21720 Is this the end of our ride?"
21720It wo n''t take long, I suppose?
21720It''s all up with him, do n''t you see? 21720 Line all clear, Fred?"
21720Mary, my dear,said Pat insinuatingly,"how would you like to jump into double harness with me an''jog along the path o''life together?"
21720May I ask where you last hailed from?
21720May I ask,said Dick, with some scorn in his tone,"who is this Hunky Ben, that his word should be considered as good as a bank- note?"
21720May I have a little time to think over the matter before answering?
21720May,he said,"will you turn back to the shore with me for a little?
21720Mother, would you have me give up an old playmate and school- fellow because he is not perfect?
21720My poor man,he said,"are you much hurt?"
21720Mysteries?
21720No man intrudes on me who comes on such an errand; but how does it happen, sir, that you think_ I_ am able to aid you?
21720No, surely,said the scout, in a tone of real commiseration,"you''re not so bad as that, are you?"
21720Not hurt I hope?
21720Now, I have a lot of friends in England who, I think, would go in for such an expedition if--"Are_ they_ all reformed drunkards, sir?
21720Of course it''ll come rather sudden on the missus, but w''en it blows hard what''s a man got to do but make all snug and stand by?
21720Of course, Mr Brooke,said the officer, when Dick had finished his narration,"your companion knows all this and can corroborate what you have said?"
21720Passengers?
21720Ralph Ritson?
21720Shall I bring you some more toast, sir?
21720Shall I put on a fire, sir?
21720Should I speak to him to- night about our plan, Ben?
21720So that you may have a chance of escaping me?
21720So''e--_was_,answered the perplexed lady, looking round the room;"did n''t I''ear''i m a- shakin''''ands wi''you, an''a- shoutin''for''am?"
21720Some o''the villains are good- lookin'', others are ugly; so, the first are not so bad as the second-- eh, lass?
21720Soon?
21720Stranger,said the cow- boy in surprise,"d''ye want to meet wi''Buck Tom?"
21720Talking of Captain Stride-- was I talking of him? 21720 That''s so,"said the sailor, who noticed something peculiar in the man''s tone;"what may be the reason o''your reference to that bit of astronomy?"
21720Then he does n''t know it was you?
21720Then there''s nothing but good news?
21720Then you were wrecked somewhere-- or your ship foundered, mayhap-- eh?
21720Then you''ve bin caught in it once already, Jo Pinto?
21720There, do n''t you see? 21720 To have found_ you_ out in this great city, the very person who had Mr Leather in her keeping, does seem unaccountable, does it not?"
21720Toast, sir?
21720Very well; then you''ll come and breakfast with me at eight?
21720Was no matches putt on board wi''the grub an''other things?
21720Was that really Buck Tom?
21720Well, Hunky, it is my duty to thank you instead of criticising you as I have done, but how do you come to be so sure that I''m innocent?
21720Well, then,continued Charlie,"( have some more ham?)
21720Well, well; he said, in a low v''ice to me, says he,` d''ye see that openin''in the bushes?'' 21720 Well?"
21720Were you hurt in the fall?
21720What are the sinners up to now?
21720What are ye doin''wi''the captain''s horse?
21720What can your friend Shank Leather do?
21720What d''ye mean?
21720What d''ye mean?
21720What d''you mean, Zook?
21720What gentleman?
21720What had he done?
21720What have you to tell me? 21720 What house was it that sent you?"
21720What is he?--his profession, I mean?
21720What is it Mr Reilly?
21720What is it?
21720What is that?
21720What lies have I told?
21720What man?
21720What say you, Black Polly? 21720 What was the name o''the ranch where your mate was left?"
21720What''ll you take to drink?
21720What''s that?
21720What''s the use o''askin''?
21720When could I see this old woman?
21720When will ye learn that there is nothing so likely to waken a sleeper as whisperin''? 21720 Where does she live?"
21720Where shall it come off?
21720Where will that be?
21720Where?
21720Which one, you little argumentative creature?
21720Who are the owners of the_ Walrus_, Charlie?
21720Who cried shame?
21720Who d''ye mean?
21720Who d''you think I passed when I was out on the plains to- day, Hunky? 21720 Who''s a- firin''off pistles in de kitchen?"
21720Why did n''t you put a bullet into him to- night, Crux?
21720Why did you not awake me?
21720Why do n''t you congratulate me, mother?
21720Why was he so cruel in his killing?
21720Why, how on earth did''ee come for to know_ that_?
21720Why, it sounds like_ Robinson Crusoe_, sir, do n''t it? 21720 Why?"
21720Will she weather it, Grinder, think you?
21720Will you mount, Miss Mary, and ride home?
21720Would it give you much satisfaction if I were to find good employment for your friend?
21720Yes, is n''t it? 21720 Yes-- that looks about the size of a crow?"
21720You ask,` What have I done?'' 21720 You could n''t remove these things, could you?"
21720You do n''t call old Crossley a religious thing, do you? 21720 You know exactly, of course, how much is here?"
21720You know the cliff about five hundred feet high that rises just over on the other side o''the valley-- where the water- shoot comes down?
21720You were only shamming sleep, then?
21720You''d have shot him, of course, if you had seen him?
21720You''re quite sure o''that?
21720You''re the skipper-- eh?
21720You''ve come to breakfast, I understand?
21720Your brother?
21720` A dook?'' 21720 ` What''s a dook?''
21720After deer-- eh?"
21720An''Buck Tom( that''s Ritson, I think he called him) has bin driven to it by injustice, has he?
21720An''what d''ye think did turn up?"
21720And, for the matter of that, after you had dropped it on the road of what use was yours to you?
21720Are we not taking mean advantage of a pair who fondly think themselves alone?
21720Are ye game for such a spin to- night?"
21720Are you hungry?"
21720Are you in love with him?"
21720As I said to my--""Does your mother know of your arrival?"
21720Back your tops''ls, wo n''t you?
21720Besides, I do n''t want to smoke, an''why should I do a thing I do n''t want to just because other people does it?
21720Besides, what''s the use?
21720But I saw you in the fight, Ben; did you guide them here?"
21720But first let me ask, does he know that I am the owner of the brig that was lost?"
21720But how came ye to hear o''this cock- and- bull story about the Redskins?"
21720But tell me,"--he started up again, with a return of the excited look--"is father any better?"
21720But what am I to do?"
21720But what if he objects?"
21720But why, then, do you blush?"
21720Buttercup, what is it that tickles your fancy an''makes your mouth stretch out like that?"
21720By the way, have you cocked it?"
21720By the way, sister mine, what made you colour up so when Ralph''s name was mentioned?
21720By the way-- which name would you like to be called, by Ralph or Buck?"
21720Can it be?"
21720Can you go round one or two this afternoon?"
21720Can you trust_ me_?"
21720Come, Captain,"he added, giving the mate his new title as he turned to him,"will you allow me to prescribe breakfast for this patient?"
21720Crux,"cried Dick,"that you?"
21720D''ye hear?"
21720D''ye know him, boys?"
21720D''you think he''d have promised to pray for me if there was?"
21720D''you think you can do anything for me?"
21720Did he then make no mention of the nature of his own business?"
21720Did n''t we, Captain?)
21720Did you, then, not expect them so soon?"
21720Do n''t fight with Buck Tom-- do you hear?"
21720Do n''t you know that surprises of this sort are apt to kill delicate people?"
21720Do n''t you see?"
21720Do n''t you think they''ll hear the firing at the ranch, father?"
21720Do n''t''ee think so, Mr Crossley?
21720Do you live far from this?"
21720Does it take you long to make things of the kind?"
21720For why?
21720Grown quite pretty?"
21720Had he the audacity to ask you to marry him?--him-- a beggar, without a sixpence except what his father gives him?"
21720Has Leather come back, by the way?
21720Has it been made lately, think you?"
21720Have I not said that I_ submit_ to whatever punishment is due?
21720Have a cigar?"
21720Have n''t ye heard the news?"
21720Have n''t you got a match?"
21720Have you fixed to go off with-- with Mr Ritson to California?"
21720Have you made up your mind to take command of the_ Walrus_?"
21720Havin''overhauled Roarin''Bull an''his little girl in time to help rescue them, that''s what I call luck-- d''ee see?"
21720How came you to leave them?
21720How do you know?"
21720How do you propose to go about it?"
21720How far is it to where he lies just now?"
21720How''s your wife an''the child''n, Silas?"
21720Hunky,"shouted Crux, as he rode up and leaped off his steed,"have they been here?"
21720I declare that Jem Mace have given me a turn that-- But why disguise yourself in this way, Mr Brooke?"
21720I feel sure that there must be some, and the question arises-- who are we to send?"
21720I had n''t gone far when up starts a bird o''some sort--""What like was it?"
21720I very seldom-- almost never-- heard of so many out there; which itself may be called a coincidence, d''ee see?
21720If they find you-- you know what that means?"
21720In this''ere''ouse, sir, or in a resterang?"
21720Is Raywood ready?"
21720Is it a good one?"
21720Is it not?"
21720Is n''t that odd?"
21720Is not that submission to God-- at least as far as lies in my power?"
21720Is the man-- what''s his name, Humpy Ben-- trustworthy?"
21720Is there any chuck goin''?
21720Is there not_ very_ good and_ very_ bad?"
21720Is this the place, Hunky?
21720Mayhap you would n''t object to--""Where is he?"
21720No worse, I hope?"
21720Now what''ll you have?
21720Now, Zook,"he added, when his guest was fairly at work taking in cargo,"I want to ask you-- have you any objection to emigrate to America?"
21720Now, there''s Buck Tom--""Ay, what of him?"
21720Now, what is your advice?"
21720Now,"said the captain,"how many men will you require?"
21720Of course we can turn at bay an''kill as many o''the red- devils as possible before it''s all over wi''us, but what good would that do to Mary?
21720Perhaps there was nothing to pump.--But now tell me, how is it-- for I can not understand-- that you refused all offers to yourself?
21720Pretty mysterious all that, ai n''t it?"
21720Ralph Ritson, has it come to this?"
21720Silas, is that you?"
21720Sound logic that, eh, May?"
21720Strike up, now; what shall it be?"
21720Surely you''re not going to begin now-- on the eve of my departure to a foreign land?"
21720Tell me, d''ye think there''s any chance o''Buck getting over this?"
21720Tell me, now, can I do anything for you?"
21720The book was brought, and at his teacher''s request the boy read:--"Add the interest to the principal, and then multiply by--""Multiply?"
21720The consekinces o''my deed I must bear, but who will deny that the Almighty could grow on another leg if He chose?
21720The fact is, Dick, that I''ve learned physiognomy since--""Fizzi- what- umy?"
21720The more appropriate question would be,` What have I_ not_ done?''
21720The only thing that perplexes me, is what shall we do with the liquor when we''ve paid for it?
21720The question at present is, what hope is there of your staying here even for a short time after I leave?
21720Then I thought o''harkin''back on my tracks an''stoppin''the Flint wi''a bullet but I reflected` what good''ll that do?
21720Then he asked--"What is the name of this friend whom you prevented from swimming off to us?"
21720Then in a deep- toned voice he asked--"Has the Rankin Creek Company sent that account and the money?"
21720W''ich bread?
21720Was it the old man that killed him?"
21720Was your boy''s name Fred?"
21720What d''ee think o''that?"
21720What d''ye mean?"
21720What d''you think about it?"
21720What if this should be Mary Jackson and her father?
21720What would you advise me to do in regard to it?"
21720What''s the matter?"
21720When that''s used up I may take to drinkin''--who knows?
21720When the gate is open I''ll shout, and you''ll run down to the shed wi''the women.--You understand?"
21720When you met me at the Blue Fork to- night, for instance, of what use was my revolver to me?
21720Where got ye the news?"
21720Where''s Dick?"
21720Who can tell?
21720Who d''ye think would take the trouble to come up here with noos?"
21720Who''ll keep me company?"
21720Who''s goin''north?
21720Why do you ask?"
21720Why should I make a new want when I''ve got no end o''wants a''ready that''s hard enough to purvide for?
21720Will this make your mind easy?
21720Will you find her out and deliver the packet?
21720Will you help me?"
21720Will you join us?"
21720Will you tell your friend to call on me here the day after to- morrow at six o''clock?
21720Would it not be well, by the way, to ride back to the store for some supplies?"
21720Yet you arrived here before him?"
21720You are quite sure, are you, that I can do nothing for you?
21720You could n''t let me have the use of a file, could you, for a few minutes?
21720You do n''t suppose I''d keep''em on deck to be washed overboard?"
21720You forgive me?"
21720You know him?"
21720You know that region well, I suppose?"
21720You live in Sealford, I have been told; does he live near you?"
21720You remember my worthy housekeeper, Mrs Bland?
21720You tell me that you have been a rebel all your days?"
21720You was sayin''somethin''about duty, was n''t you?"
21720You''ll do this for me, Silas, wo n''t you?"
21720You''re sure, I suppose, that Mr Brooke will do his best to shield him?"
21720Zook,"cried Charlie, as the little man of the slums came limping up,"what have you done with your horse?"
21720_ can_ it be true?"
21720` If I were a man-- if I were a man,''keeps ringing in my ears like the chorus of an old song, and then--""Well, Charlie, what then?"
21720` Maggie,''says I--""And what do_ you_ think, Charlie?"
21720` My dear,''said the friend,` I do find it such a_ difficult_ thing to resist temptation-- don''t you?''
21720` Was you one o''them?''
21720agin''rules too?
21720all the cripples, invalids, imbeciles, even the very infants who are born to wail out their sad lives in a few weeks, or even days?"
21720cried her brother,"does n''t middling- bad stand beside it, with quite as good a claim to be considered half- way?
21720cried the boy at the bar, laughin'';` have another bottle?''
21720defunct?"
21720exclaimed Shank, starting up again with wide open eyes;"you have met Ralph, then?"
21720he exclaimed,"you do n''t mean to say that the victuals have taken root and begun to grow, do you?"
21720how can you talk of it?"
21720how was that?"
21720in that toggery?"
21720is n''t it?"
21720is_ he_ with my mother?"
21720lookin''for Redskins?"
21720man, could n''t you pull it out?"
21720my Polly?"
21720not even in a looking- glass?"
21720remarked the scout, with a simple look;"an''you''re sartin sure you do n''t know where Leather is now?"
21720repeated Mrs Butt softly to herself, as she gazed in perplexity round her little kitchen,"_ did_''e order a''am?"
21720returned Jackson;"and what d''ye consider your duty at the present time?"
21720sir-- a little boy?"
21720what can women know about such matters?
21720why not?"
21720wild uns?"
38296A book of adventure?
38296Ah?
38296All the way to the North Pole? 38296 And echo answers,` Where?''"
38296And has n''t it got much colder?
38296And is it inside the volcano,cries Rory,"you''d be taking us to warm us?
38296And so you tell me,said the younger,"that the work still goes bravely on?"
38296And so you''ve been in Spitzbergen, have you?
38296And the clergyman, captain, the clergyman, the poor girl''s father?
38296And the people enjoy it?
38296And what did he do?
38296And what kind of a monster is this Greenland shark?
38296And what says Rory?
38296And where do they go after that?
38296And where do you sleep at night, Jim?
38296And whither were you bound for when we overtook you, my poor girl?
38296And why not?
38296And yet how strange that a pirate should, cruise in these far northern seas?
38296And yet who else can it be?
38296And you have never written a word to him about our new ship and our purposed voyage?
38296And you''re wondering,said Nat,"where a piece of elongated mortality like myself stretches himself of a night on board the_ Highflier_?"
38296And,''deed, indeed,replied Rory,"there is little to choose betwixt the pair of you; so what can I do but be sorry for you both?"
38296Any more of them?
38296Are there many?
38296Are you better?
38296Are you done with my log?
38296Are your eyes shut?
38296Ay, ay, sir?
38296Ay,says Silas,"and a whole week without seeing a seal-- isn''t it astonishing?"
38296Back to Jan Mayen?
38296Bears, did you say? 38296 Boat gone, is it?"
38296But concave at the top?
38296But stay, my son, stay,continued this weird little man, holding up a warning finger;"those rushing winds--""Yes, Magnus?"
38296But suppose, Jim, we went far away-- as far as the North Pole?
38296But the frost is n''t likely to go for a week, is it now?
38296But the ship-- this pirate?
38296But there''s a deal o''palaver about it, do n''t you think so, sir?
38296But what is that in the middle of yonder ice- floe to the south and west?
38296But what is this?
38296But where in the name of wonder are we now?
38296But where is the foe, sir?
38296But where will ye get the ox? 38296 But wherever do you think he means cruising to at all, at all?"
38296But,said Rory,"did n''t you go a trifle too near that time, Mister de Vere?"
38296Can it be night so soon?
38296Can this be,said McBain,"the self- same pirate that attacked the_ Snowbird_?"
38296Can you build barrows?
38296Captain,said Ted, firmly,"we did n''t sign articles to fight, did we, mates?"
38296Captain,said one of the men, stepping forward,"will you let me speak to you?
38296Come on I come on?
38296Could we not,said Ralph,"all snowblind as we are, try to grope our way upwards?"
38296D''ye know,said Ralph, looking smilingly towards Seth,"it is quite like old times to see Seth once more in the midst of us?"
38296De minor ole gem''lam,replied the boy;"but do n''t dey fit, sah?
38296Dear me?
38296Did I make the ship?
38296Did n''t you hear me tapping on the pane for you?
38296Distress? 38296 Do n''t tell him?"
38296Do n''t you call that graphic?
38296Do n''t you long to join them?
38296Do you keep a djin?
38296Do you know the_ Stemmatopus cristatus_?
38296Do you know what I have done?
38296Do you know,said Rory,"I feel for all the world like being in an enchanted cave?
38296Do you mean to say you are going to catch sharks in earnest, you know?
38296Does it smell badly?
38296Down south here,said McBain--"if we can call it south-- the seals have their young on the ice, do n''t they?"
38296Fear?
38296Fenders? 38296 Fenders?"
38296Freezin''Powders, at your service, sah-- your under- steward and butler, sah?
38296From which you infer--?
38296Funny old stick,said Silas, joining in his merriment,"ai n''t I?"
38296Fust- rate,said Silas--"just fust- rate; but where is Ralph and the captain?"
38296Good night,asks Ray,"but how do you do it?"
38296Ha?
38296Ha?
38296Had I now?
38296Happy reunion, wo n''t it be?
38296Have you a surname, Jim?
38296Have you any money, Jim?
38296Have you wound your watch, Ray?
38296Heaven help us?
38296Hey? 38296 High- water about half- past two, is n''t it, Stevenson?"
38296How do they bore the holes, I wonder?
38296How is the glass now, Mr Stevenson?
38296How long d''ye think,said Captain Cobb, one morning, while at breakfast in the_ Arrandoon_--"how long d''ye think this state of affairs''ll last?
38296How mindful of the captain?
38296How now, Stevenson?
38296How soon,he asked the former,"can you get up steam?"
38296Hurrah for the foretop?
38296Hurrah?
38296I beg your pardon, Captain McBain,said Rory, at once; and with all becoming gravity he saluted, and continued,"Please, sir, may I go on shore?"
38296I daresay you fellows are glad to get home?
38296I declare,he said,"I feel just like a schoolboy home for a holiday?"
38296I mean, Jim, have you a second name?
38296I say, siree?
38296I shall remember this to my dying day?
38296I wonder how old Tweed is getting on?
38296I''m afraid so, sir,replies Mitchell;"but--"and here he eyes the bellowing canvas--"it do seem a pity, sir, do n''t it?"
38296I_ could_ get up steam in twenty minutes,he said;"those American hams, sir--""Oh, bother the hams?"
38296If what?
38296In bow?
38296Is dinner all laid?
38296Is n''t it funny? 38296 Is n''t that pretty, Ray?"
38296Is she snug?
38296Is supper ready?
38296It is fenders to throw overboard when the ice is too obtrusive, is n''t it, sir?
38296It is strange, is n''t it, sir?
38296It is strange,said McBain;"and from this what do you anticipate?"
38296It is the_ Scymnus borealis_, is n''t it?
38296Jim is what they call you, is n''t it?
38296Just like my luck, now, is n''t it?
38296Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up?
38296Make a kind of harbour, you mean?
38296Man-- Rory?
38296Matie,said Silas, pointing skywards,"do you see any difference in the colour yonder?"
38296More hands, Ap?
38296Mr Stevenson, when will the moon rise?
38296Much to be done?
38296No rum, gentlemen?
38296No, Row? 38296 Now the finale?"
38296Now, Magnus, old man,continued McBain,"d''ye mind the time, some years ago in the_ Snowbird_, when you rid us of that troublesome pirate?"
38296Och, botheration?
38296Odd, is n''t it?
38296Oh yes,said De Vere, laughing in turn;"very dark; as dark as--""Hush?"
38296Oh?
38296On deck there?
38296Reikjavik?
38296Remember, gunners,cried McBain,"we''ve got to take that ship, and not to sink her; so waste not a shot between wind and water?"
38296Return?
38296Risk, Stevenson?
38296Shall we risk taking the ice again?
38296So you will, so you will,said Magnus,"if--""What, another` if,''Magnus?"
38296So you''ve been a millionaire, Rory?
38296Spin you a yarn, d''ye say? 38296 Suppose we try to break it with a song?
38296Tell us,said Rory:"troth, it''s a treat to hear ye talking?"
38296That we will, sir, at all events,said the mate;"but see, sir, what is that yonder?"
38296The postman?
38296The top of the morning to you, friend Silas,said Rory;"how do you feel after your blow- out at Captain Cobb''s?"
38296The what?
38296The what?
38296They are slow in their movements, are n''t they?
38296Think of it, sir? 38296 Think of it?"
38296To- night?
38296Told ye it would, hey? 38296 Was it funny?"
38296Wash him, sah?
38296We are positively under steam again, Sandy?
38296We are-- under-- way?
38296We sailed around the island next day but saw no signs of him?
38296We wo n''t have much sport, though,said Rory, with a sigh,"if we have to remain here long, for the bears will follow the seals, wo n''t they?"
38296We''ll spend a bucket or two of paint over him, wo n''t we, boys?
38296Well, Freezing Powders,said McBain,"and pray what are you sighing about?"
38296Well, Jim,said McBain, laughing,"would you like to sail in a big ship with me, and-- and-- black my boots?"
38296Well, duckie?
38296Well, duckie?
38296Well,replied the skipper,"what have you to say?"
38296Well,said Silas,"you would n''t, imagine that a fellow with such an ugly chunk o''a figure- head as that had feelings, eh?
38296Well?
38296Well?
38296Well?
38296Were these the only times that I was cast away? 38296 What are you going to be doing after lunch?"
38296What are you grinning at now?
38296What cheer, Mr Ap Ewen?
38296What do they know? 38296 What do you think, sir?"
38296What do you think,said McBain, one morning just after breakfast--"what do you think, Rory, I''m going to make to- day?"
38296What does it look like, Mr Stevenson?
38296What does it mean?
38296What does this new` if''refer to?
38296What for I sigh?
38296What fun?
38296What have you done with the young lady?
38296What more malley- shooting?
38296What now, Rory? 38296 What prospects?"
38296What ship, my boy?
38296What''ll the old woman say, hey? 38296 What''s all the to- do about?
38296What''s the row? 38296 What''s the row?
38296What? 38296 What?"
38296What?
38296What?
38296What_ is_ the matter?
38296What_ would_ my owners say, boy? 38296 Whatever can it be?"
38296When can you start, my dear Silas?
38296When did I hear from Allan and Rory?
38296When did you hear from Allan and Rory?
38296Where are the sugar- plums, doctor?
38296Where away?
38296Which of you troglodytes is going with me to- morrow to see the sun rise?
38296Who in the name of all that is marvellous have we here?
38296Who''s coming?
38296Who?
38296Whustle, will ye?
38296Why the guard?
38296Why, it is music, it is life?
38296Why, my dear, who_ can_ it be from?
38296Will you go, Allan,he cried,"and bag a bear?
38296Wo ho, my beauty?
38296Wo n''t the green ginger fly?
38296Wordsworth''s_ We are seven_?
38296Yes, Row?
38296Yes,cried Rory;"where are the plums?
38296Yes,reiterated Rory, stopping in front of the doctor;"as you say, doctor,` Wha wouldna''be a sea- bird?''
38296Yonder is the stage, boys,cried Rory;"but where are the performers?"
38296You are a bold man,he said;"you will come with me to- day in de balloon?"
38296You are quite right, Sandy,said Rory in reply--"quite right; and do you know what it will be, Sandy?"
38296You have forgiven your men, have n''t you?
38296You have n''t been drinking, matie,said Silas, glancing gloomily upwards,"have you?"
38296You see, Captain Grig,McBain had observed,"we must have you as much with as now as we can, for we soon go different roads, do n''t we?"
38296You think, then, that that end is inevitable?
38296You''ll fight? 38296 You''ve seen the sea- lion, I suppose, Captain Grig?"
38296You''ve something to ask me, I think?
38296` Adventure''you mean, do n''t you?
38296` All alone, are you, Silas?'' 38296 ` Did ever you do anything clever in your life, Sandy?''
38296` What use would you be?'' 38296 ***** But where are now the festive board, The martial throng, and midnight song? 38296 ------------------------------------------------------------------------How far do you intend to bring her out?"
38296A fast train?
38296A flying train?
38296A likely thing I''d have them open, is n''t it?"
38296A sail in sight at last; and how many of us, think you, were alive to see it?
38296Ah, ladies, how are you?
38296All ready, eh?
38296Allan, boy, ca n''t you tell me?
38296Allan?
38296Am I right, mates?"
38296And every bush and shrub and flower is all a- quiver with a strange, indescribable motion, which greatly heightens their magical beauty; and why?
38296And every"hey?"
38296And if you were to ask me,"Was he, too, brave?"
38296And now,"he continued,"what think you of the prospect?
38296And round spun the bird, keeping time to the merry air, and every now and then giving a"whoop?"
38296And so, you say, in all your experience-- and it has been very vast, has n''t it, my friend?"
38296And why not?
38296And you saw the blood?"
38296Any tidings?"
38296Ask me rather what I_ augur_?
38296Bear- and- ham pie, engineer; how will that eat, eh?"
38296Breakfast all ready, is it, Peter?
38296But I say, Row, d''ye remember the proverb about Claudius?
38296But I say, Row--""Well, Ray?"
38296But I''m sent out here to make a voyage, and what can I do?
38296But is n''t it high enough you are now, aroon?
38296But is she a man- o''-war, I wonder?"
38296But see yonder, is that a seal on the ice that is creeping closer and closer up behind the bear?
38296But see, what aileth our hero, boy Rory?
38296But what is that strange, mournful cry that is heard among the hills far up above them?
38296But what is the something more that makes our men so happy?"
38296But where was the ship?
38296But why did n''t she wait for the train?
38296But why do n''t you speak more, Rory, as your messmates call you?"
38296But, I say,"he added, after a moment''s pause,"I do n''t suppose there will be any refreshment- stalls down there-- eh?"
38296But, doctor,"he continued,"what say you to some music?"
38296But, talking of brewin'', I wonder how the soup is getting on?"
38296But,"he added, turning to Allan and Rory,"you''ll look after the lad, wo n''t you?"
38296By the way, do the people still flock down on Friday afternoons to look over the ship?"
38296By` the minor ole gem''lam''I suppose you mean honest Magnus?
38296Captain Grig, may I trouble you again?"
38296Come, what shall we sing--`The wearing o''the green''?"
38296Could n''t they stop a month?
38296D''ye hear?
38296D''ye hear?"
38296D''ye play at all?
38296Did ever you see a sky more blue before, or cloudlets more fleecy and light?
38296Did n''t I?
38296Do n''t dey become dis chile?
38296Do n''t ye remember robbing my nest last year?
38296Do you fear?"
38296Do you know what, Ray?"
38296Do_ you_ seal on Sunday?
38296Does not Sir Walter Scott tell us that they laugh in their ranks as they go forward to battle-- that they--"Move to death with military glee?"
38296Down into the crater, to toast our toes at Vulcan''s own fireside?
38296Dreaming of what?
38296Eh?
38296Eh?
38296Extempore, did you ask?
38296Freezing Powders, you young rascal, drop on to your other end; do n''t you see you''re making Polly believe the world is upside down?
38296Funny, ai n''t it, sir?--queer, is n''t it, cap''n?"
38296Get down topgallant masts, it will be a bit of exercise for the men; let us have all the steam we can command, and--""Batten down, sir?"
38296Had not he dubbed himself Queen o''the May?
38296Has it not been said that the greatest pleasure on earth is felt on the sudden surcease of severe pain?
38296Has the reader ever been to sea?
38296Have they a secret, we wonder?
38296Have you any favourite instrument?"
38296Have you any more in store for us?
38296He wo n''t take his eyes off the book, nor move as much as one drowsy eyelid, but he manages to say,--"What are they about on deck, Rory?"
38296Heigho?"
38296Hey, boys?
38296Hey, matie?
38296Hey?
38296Hey?
38296Hey?"
38296How d''ye like it, eh?"
38296How do you like the prospect of living here for three months without ever catching a blink of the sun?"
38296How do you like the prospect?"
38296How is the glass, Rory?"
38296How is the weather?"
38296How know you there is wealth of ivory lying there?"
38296Hurrah?"
38296I can assure you, I would have liked, well enough, to run away, but with all the ship''s crew looking at me--?
38296I envy-- yes, I envy the dead in their quiet graves, and even wish it were all past-- all, all over?"
38296I lay on my face for five minutes, with no more breath in my old bellows than there is in a dead badger?"
38296I say, Ray, would n''t it be glorious to go surging over the ice- fields drawn by a hundred fleet- footed hounds?"
38296I say,"he added, after a pause,"you know my mate?"
38296I should answer,"Are not poets and Irishmen always brave?
38296I was right?"
38296I wonder will ever we return, or will the great sea swallow us up?
38296If not--""Well, Magnus, well?"
38296Is breakfast all ready, old man?"
38296Is everybody dead on board?"
38296Is it dreaming I am?
38296Is it my head or my heels that I''m standing on?
38296Is it not glorious, Silas?
38296Is it possible that our quiet surgeon has won the heart of this beautiful fair- haired Danish maiden?
38296Is it thunder?
38296Is not this true friendship?
38296Is the adjective"dead,"then, not unnecessary?
38296It has been nothing but flay, flay, flay, for the last two rounds of the sun, and there is n''t such a very long night now, is there?
38296It is n''t exactly a fair wind for you to bear up, is it?"
38296It is nice, though, is n''t it, to hear the old screw rattling round again?"
38296It was only a trifle over three miles; there were cabs to be had in abundance, but what young man would ride if he had time to walk?
38296It''s come to that, has it?
38296Lend us a hand with your fellows, will you?"
38296Look sharp?"
38296Meanwhile, how fared it with our boys?
38296Meanwhile, what might not happen?
38296Men, are we in danger?"
38296Mitchell,"he continued, as the second mate next entered hat in hand,"what''s in the wind now, man?"
38296Need I say, then, that he was an artist?
38296No idlers, d''ye hear?"
38296No wonder the cockatoo cried,--"De- ah me?"
38296Now then, Donald, bustle about, will you?
38296Now what do ye say to try to sleep?
38296Now wo n''t I have a blow- out just?"
38296Oh?"
38296Puffed?
38296Queer, ai n''t it?"
38296Return?
38296SANDIE MCFLAIL, M.D.--"WHA WOULDNA''BE A SEA- BIRD?"
38296Said the spider to the fly?"
38296Shall I hit him on the head, or shoot him in the chest?
38296Shall I land in de regions of desolation?"
38296Shall I make my descent here?
38296Shall I pull vat Monsieur Rory call de valve halyard?
38296She''ll have more of it; wo n''t she, matie mine?"
38296Silence did I say?
38296Since when did you learn to read with your book upside down?"
38296Size?
38296Splash?
38296Sure, they were worth a million of money?"
38296Tell me that, eh?"
38296The classification is handy, say you?
38296The mate laughed and commenced to sing--"` Wo n''t you walk into my parlour?''
38296The men among ye that know a seal- club from a toastin''-fork, or a lowrie- tow from a bell- rope, just elevate a hand, will ye?"
38296The old question, chief-- How soon can you get us under way?"
38296Then comes a hail from the crow''s- nest,--"Below there?"
38296Then these questions chased each other through my brain:"How near will I let the beggar come before I fire?
38296Then, after a pause, he added, more heartily,"But we''ll meet again, wo n''t we?"
38296There may not be another ship within hundreds of miles; the wind may be rising or the wind may be falling-- what do you care?
38296There?"
38296Those clouds ai n''t natural this time o''the year, and do n''t you see the spots in the sun?
38296Was a storm raging beneath them?
38296Was it not possible that they might meet with a similar fate?
38296We are not going to assist you in this; we are sportsmen, not butchers, Captain Grig?"
38296We''ll lie close together, you know, and it''s warm we''ll be in a jiffey?"
38296We''ll reach the Isle of Alba, sir, if--""If what, good Magnus?"
38296Well then, a fortnight?
38296Well, suppose your torpedoes were to be floated in under my ship, and went bursting off there?"
38296Well, well; but d''ye think you''ll find it?"
38296Wha wouldna''be a sea- bird?"
38296What about Seth?
38296What care I that my tenantry--`the foinest pisintry in the world''--haven''t paid up?
38296What cheer, Mr Ap Ewen?"
38296What could McBain say, what argument adduce, to prevent this rough old tar from risking his life in what he considered a matter of duty?
38296What could it mean, that low, deep, long- continued thunderpeal?
38296What else can a carcass or crang be but"dead"?
38296What evidence have I before me, do you ask?
38296What is in it-- sandwiches?"
38296What is that?"
38296What is the mystery?
38296What is to be done?"
38296What need you care?
38296What shall he be done to, Allan?"
38296What shall we do with him, Ralph?
38296What''s all the to- do about?"
38296What''s the row?
38296What''s the row?
38296What''s the row?"
38296What''s the row?"
38296Whatever made you think of this?
38296Whatever shall I do at all, at all?
38296When you wants a mouf- ful of hemp just hop down for it, else de blood all run to your poor head, den you die in a fit?"
38296Where are the games?
38296Where are the may- poles, with their circles of rosy- cheeked children dancing gleesomely around them?
38296Where are the revels?
38296Where do I get them?
38296Where was it that that blood was not?
38296Where, it may be asked, did the fuel come from?
38296Which of our heroes shall we start with first?
38296Who but Rory-- who but an artist- poet could have painted that?
38296Who knows but that after that you may get a fair wind to carry you right away south into summer weather in little over a week?"
38296Who would go with De Vere in this first great trip over the regions of perpetual snow?
38296Who would have thought that Peter of Arrandoon would have lived to play his own coronach?"
38296Why, what is that green- looking stuff in those glasses, doctor?"
38296Why, who dressed you, my little Freezin''Powders?"
38296Will she float?
38296Would you like to wash your hands?"
38296Ye thought I''d scupper him, did n''t you, soon''s the ship was taken?
38296Ye thought this child was your slave, did n''t ye?
38296Yes, fair France, go to Berlin if you choose, only first and foremost you have to overthrow-- what?
38296You don''t-- hullo?"
38296You not hear de wild winds roar, and de wave make too much bobbery?
38296You see this little bag?"
38296You wo n''t be afraid, will you, Freezing Powders?"
38296Young men, sir, dinna enter Aberdeen University stirks and come out cuddies?"
38296_ Can_ you guess, little wife?
38296` But,''says the aigle,` do n''t you see that it is sinking you are?''
38296and what about my little wife, eh?"
38296and, What shall I do if the rifle misses fire?"
38296can you?"
38296cried Sandy, the surgeon, looking curiously overboard,"what''s this noo?
38296cried Sandy;"what next, I wonder?"
38296cries Danny,` to that bit av a thing like a raping- hook?
38296cries the captain;"starboard?"
38296d''ye hear that?"
38296de- ah, what my ole mudder say den?"
38296from honest English Ralph; but Rory murmurs"Moore?"
38296ha?"
38296ha?"
38296he asked with a puzzled look,"and what_ can_ it be about?
38296he said, clutching his friend by the shoulder to keep himself from falling,"what if I had killed you?"
38296he said,"are ye takin''leave o''your wuts?
38296hey?"
38296hey?"
38296how can you make so vile a pun?
38296is it not all beautiful?
38296it''s you, is it, Row?
38296laughed Silas;"would you clap your balloon top of her, and lift her out like?"
38296more salmon and another egg?
38296said Freezing Powders;"is dat de''xpression you make use of, sah?
38296said McBain,"that''s it, is it?"
38296said Rory at dinner that day,"will you fellows never have done eating?
38296said Silas;"well, you do astonish_ me_; but you''ll taste my wife''s green ginger wine, and drink her health?"
38296said the surgeon,"liver a bit out of order, eh?"
38296so you''re fairly caught?"
38296the green paling, to be sure; how could I have forgotten that?
38296the little fellow was shrieking;"what for you kickee my shins so?
38296troth it''ll be fire- irons you''ll be making next, sir; but what do you want with fenders?"
38296troth?"
38296wah- o?"
38296well, surely one short week?
38296what can they teach a man?
38296what now, boy?"
38296what would he say?
38296what''ll I do?''
38296what''ll become av me at all at all?''
38296what_ would_ long Cobb say now?
38296where was their lordly_ Arrandoon_?
38296who will feed de cockatoo When I is dead and gone?''
38296you''ll fight?"
