27471	Who was it?
27471	Who''s that out in the garden?

27471	Why did n''t I know it?
27471	Why do n''t they fix it?
27471	Why do n''t they? 27471 Why do n''t you let me bring you a piece of fruit cake an''a glass of milk?"
27471	Why do n''t you?

27471	Why not?
27471	Why should n''t I be independent?
27471	Why should n''t we do a bit of neighborin''together, now we''ve got the chance?

27471	Why should we keep up a quarrel none of us approve of? 27471 Why?"
27471	Why?
27471	Why?
27471	Why?
27471	Why?
27471	Would you have liked to?
27471	Yes, but how was she to know that?
27471	Yes, what''s the matter?
27471	Yes, why do n''t they? 27471 Yes, you see, my aunt----""How old is she?"
27471	You ai n''t been to the Howes''?
27471	You ai n''t in bed?
27471	You ai n''t leavin''for good, Miss Lucy?
27471	You ai n''t seen a ghost?
27471	You ai n''t so keen on dividin''up, eh?
27471	You call that fine looking, do you?
27471	You can do things like that?
27471	You did n''t get any supper after all, did you, Martin?
27471	You did n''t leave nothin''?
27471	You did n''t mention to the Howes I was gettin''only sixty- six cents a dozen for eggs, did you?
27471	You do n''t s''pose he''s sick, do you, Jane?
27471	You do n''t s''pose there''ll be any danger''bout the cows drinkin''here, do you?
27471	You do n''t see what? 27471 You knew of your aunt''s will?"
27471	You mean somebody to help?
27471	You mean to say you''d set yourself up as knowin''mor''n your people before you did?
27471	You mean you''d break off from what your folks thought?
27471	You never heard the story?
27471	You want some eggs?
27471	You went to the Howes-- to the Howes-- an''told''em I did n''t give you enough to eat?
27471	You went to the_ Howes''_ for eggs?
27471	You were familiar with the contents of it?
27471	You''ll stay by me, wo n''t you?
27471	You''re disappointed I ai n''t sicker, eh?
27471	You''re worse, Aunt Ellen?
27471	You? 27471 Accordingly they bent their necks to his will; for did not Martin rule the house? 27471 After all, was it her duty to remain and waste her youth to no purpose? 27471 After all, what was there to say? 27471 Ai n''t he always fertilizin''an''irrigatin''? 27471 Ai n''t she most eighty?
27471	Ai n''t that queer?
27471	Ai n''t this your home?"
27471	Ai n''t we got an umbrella somewheres,''Liza?"
27471	Ai n''t you never heard of Melviny?"
27471	Ai n''t you tired,''Liza?"
27471	Ai n''t you''most dressed?"
27471	And am I at all what you expected?"
27471	And the farm once disposed of, what then?
27471	And who was this Martin that he should inspire such terror?
27471	As for Ellen, had she not herself put the will into the girl''s keeping-- as a weapon with which to meet this very emergency?
27471	As for the girl''s sentimental nonsense about its not being satisfactory to live alone, what was she talking about?
27471	Besides, was there not the miraculous bunch of flowers?
27471	But if so, why did he bother to send flowers to her?
27471	But of what consequence were crops and the garnering of them when weighed against an issue of such life import as this?
27471	But this call ai n''t like your usual ones, is it?"
27471	But was it jewel enough to prompt a man to uproot every tradition of his moral world for its possession?
27471	But when he started lightin''up his pipe----""What did you do, Jane?"
27471	By rights it had oughter come to you, had n''t it?"
27471	Ca n''t I persuade you to come in?"
27471	Ca n''t you keep your fingers out of the wet ink?
27471	Could it be?
27471	Could it have been the Howes?
27471	Could she face the horror of a stretch of years that held in them no human sympathy?
27471	Could this nymph, this dryad be a product of the same planet that had given birth to Mary, Eliza, and Jane?
27471	Did it not banish all the friction of opposing wills and make of one a monarch?
27471	Did n''t I just tell you I came to help?
27471	Did n''t lawyers always keep copies of every legal paper they drew up?
27471	Did n''t she tell you?
27471	Did you ever look on such an eyesore?"
27471	Did you ever see such doin''s?
27471	Did you think it was I who placed you on this bed?
27471	Do n''t I live close at hand, an''ai n''t I got eyes?"
27471	Do n''t it beat all how somethin''s always wearin''out?
27471	Do n''t you think so?"
27471	Do n''t you want a light?"
27471	Do n''t you?"
27471	Do you s''pose I do n''t know this country''s at war, an''that the authorities are on the lookout for folks concealin''gunpowder in their houses?
27471	Do you think I look like Dad?
27471	Dragging the girl to the window the old woman cried:"Do you see that pile of stones over there?
27471	Ellen Webster''s?"
27471	Had Ellen guessed his secret, and, armed with the knowledge, shaped her revenge accordingly?
27471	Had he not been taught that it was his mission to thwart and humble them?
27471	Had he not continually striven to do so?
27471	Had he not declared over and over again that Ellen Webster might die before he would lift a finger to help her?
27471	Had he not sacrificed his own dreams that his family might retain their old home?
27471	Had he not vowed that he would be burned at the stake first?
27471	Had not the Websters always been famed for their business sagacity?
27471	Hark, did she hear wheels?
27471	Have you thought that I can have you arrested for trespassing on my land?"
27471	He has n''t, eh?"
27471	How could it harm her if it was wet?"
27471	How do I know you were n''t goin''to make the stuff into bombs, or carry it somewheres an''blow up somethin''or other with it?"
27471	How long have the Howes been gettin''sixty- seven cents for their eggs, I''d like to know?"
27471	However, what did it matter now?
27471	I fell, did n''t I?"
27471	I was away and when I----""First shock?"
27471	If I prefer to stay here with you and earn my board there is no disgrace in it, is there?"
27471	If he did, why did n''t he make some further effort to talk with her?
27471	If in future she was to be forever cut off from all she loved on earth, what did it matter where she went?
27471	If you ai n''t got pride enough not to go hob- nobbin''with my enemies, I''ll forbid it for good an''all-- forbid it, do you hear?
27471	Instead, as if to change a dangerous topic, he asked:"How are you likin''Sefton Falls?"
27471	Is it any wonder that with only a stupid idiot like this for help, my garden''s always behind other folks'', an''my chores never done?"
27471	Is n''t it wonderful, unbelievable?
27471	My, but you have a fine big kitchen here, have n''t you?"
27471	Oh, Martin, you will let me go an''bring her back here, wo n''t you?
27471	On the day of her aunt''s seizure had she not witnessed the warfare between pity and hatred, generosity and revenge?
27471	Or had Lucy Webster dropped some remark that had shown him the folly and uselessness of his resentment?
27471	Or should he weakly repudiate his word and call her from the borderland to continue to taunt and torment him?
27471	Or were they the result of an abnormal intuition, a superhuman power for fathoming the souls of others?
27471	She ai n''t told you nothin''?"
27471	She was roused from her musings by Eliza''s voice:"What can be the matter with Martin?"
27471	Should he rail at them for asking Lucy to the house?
27471	Should he stand stanchly by his word and let her life go out into the Beyond when he might perhaps stay its flight?
27471	Should she go or stay?
27471	Still the woman lingered; then making a heroic plunge, she faltered:"There-- there ai n''t nothin''the matter, is there?"
27471	Still what can it be?"
27471	Stopping midway up the staircase Ellen wheeled and said indignantly:"An''Thomas kep''you in a settlement like that?"
27471	Suppose Lucy were worse?
27471	Suppose she declined to see him?
27471	Suppose she did not love him?
27471	Taking Lucy''s hand in a loose, pudgy grasp she remarked:"A shock?"
27471	That he would face persecution, nakedness, famine, the sword before he would do it?
27471	That they were spurred to deeds of courage; abandoned home, friends, their sacred honor; even tossed their lives away for such?
27471	That''s how you lie out of it, is it?"
27471	The moment the tramp of the horse''s hoofs sounded on the gravel outside, she was alert and called to Melvina, stationed at the window:"Is that Tony?"
27471	Then she suddenly turned suspiciously on the girl, adding sharply:"You ai n''t been over to the Howes''?"
27471	Then, changing a subject both seemed to regard as a delicate one, she asked in a more natural tone:"What were you plannin''to do this mornin''?"
27471	Then, gathering courage, he remarked shyly:"You like flowers?"
27471	To be sure she appeared artless enough; but what Webster was to be trusted?
27471	Was he angry?
27471	Was he not already tortured with pain too poignant to be endured?
27471	Was it Tony you was talkin''to outside?"
27471	Was it fortunate?
27471	Was it not Delilah who had shorn Samson of his might?
27471	Was it possible the girl was ignorant of her aunt''s mission?
27471	Was it to be marveled at that men pursued such enchantresses to the borderland of eternity?
27471	Was not Ellen her father''s sister, and would he not wish his daughter to be loyal to the trust it had fallen to her to fulfill?
27471	Was not her youth being spent to glorify an empty fetish which brought to no one any real good?
27471	Was she joyous?
27471	Was she not, as a Webster, in honor bound to do so?
27471	Was she sad?
27471	Was the revenge worth the hours of self- condemnation that might follow?
27471	Were the girl''s ingenuous observations as ingenuous as they seemed?
27471	What can it be?"
27471	What could have become of it?
27471	What did I tell you?
27471	What did it matter anyway?
27471	What did it portend?
27471	What did she say?"
27471	What do you reckon is in that bag?
27471	What do you s''pose it is?
27471	What do you s''pose they''d say?"
27471	What for?"
27471	What is the condition?"
27471	What motive prompted him to do it?
27471	What ought she to do?
27471	What shall we do?
27471	What should he do?
27471	What should she do?
27471	What was he doin''?"
27471	What was it all about?
27471	What was to be the fate of her possessions after she was gone?
27471	What wonder that a conscientious fellow like Martin Howe felt farming less a business to be accomplished than a choice of alternatives?
27471	What wonder that her aged fingers trembled as she tore open the envelope of the message and spread the snowy paper feverishly on the table?
27471	What would this hero of the present situation do?
27471	What''d I tell you?
27471	When did the message come?"
27471	When do you contemplate leaving town?"
27471	When she did it was to ask:"What''s Martin Howe doin''on my land?"
27471	Where did you go for them?"
27471	Where had they come from?
27471	Where you goin''--back out West?"
27471	Where''d you find me?"
27471	Who could tell?
27471	Who was he that he should judge Ellen Webster and cut off her life before its time?
27471	Why did n''t your father get a woman in?"
27471	Why did they now surge into his mind to weaken his resolve and cause him to waver in his intention?
27471	Why rivet more tightly the fetters that goaded him?
27471	Why should I?"
27471	Why should she bury her life in this cruel, rancorous atmosphere?
27471	Why?"
27471	Why?"
27471	With an augmented bank account and plenty of fertile land, what might he not accomplish?
27471	Would Jane never return?
27471	Would he leave even his worst enemy?
27471	Would he really leave her like this in the dust and heat?
27471	Would it not be ironic if the Webster mansion became a poor farm and she its first inmate?
27471	Would n''t you?"
27471	Would not such an inglorious termination of the feud go down to history as a capitulation of the Websters?
27471	Would the wagon stop or go on?
27471	Would you''a''dreamed there could be anything in the world so hard to get rid of?
27471	You ai n''t afraid, are you?"
27471	You ai n''t sick?"
27471	You do n''t s''pose there''s any danger that she will, do you, Jane?"
27471	You would n''t?
27471	You''ll do that much for me, wo n''t you?"
27471	she called,"is that you?"
